Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container such as a compact case.

  Conventionally, various cosmetic containers such as a compact case have been used as a cosmetic container that accommodates and carries a middle dish (refill container) filled with a solid cosmetic such as a foundation or eye shadow. These cosmetic containers are usually provided with a pair of engaging convex portions at opposing positions on the inner wall surface (side surface) of the inner tray housing concave portion of the container body. By engaging and engaging recesses for engagement (engaged portions such as circumferential grooves) formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side portion of the dish, the inner dish filled with the cosmetic is sandwiched from both side surfaces. In this way.

  By the way, in recent years, since the attachment / detachment / replacement of the intermediate plate has been frequently performed by the user's own hand, in order to make the replacement operation of the intermediate plate easy and reliable, A cosmetic container has been devised in which one or both of the provided engaging convex portions (pairs) are configured to be movable (flexible) (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

FIG. 8 is a configuration example of a conventional cosmetic container in which the engaging convex portion is configured to be flexible.
This cosmetic container accommodates and holds an inner dish 22 filled with a solid cosmetic such as a foundation in an inner dish accommodating recess 21a formed in a container body 21 having a lid (not shown). A plurality of pairs of engaging convex portions 21c and 21d are provided on the inner wall surface 21b of the tray receiving recess 21a at positions facing each other with the intermediate tray 22 in between.

  Note that one of the engaging convex portions, the outer frame side 21c on the left side in the figure, is the tip of a tongue-like flexible piece 21e formed on the inner wall surface 21b of the inner tray accommodating concave portion 21a by a peripheral slit. The outer peripheral surface of the side portion 22a of the inner tray 22 that is integrally provided in the vicinity and is in contact with the engaging convex portions 21c and 21d is engaged with the engaging convex portions 21c and 21d. A portion (concave portion 22b) is formed.

  As shown in this example, the convex part for engaging a flexible inner tray in a conventional cosmetic container is usually a flexible piece that can be bent by deformation (a tongue piece, a nail part, a pillar part surrounded by a slit). Etc.), and by inserting the middle dish into the middle dish housing recess from above, the engaging convex part formed integrally with the flexible piece is laterally deformed by the deformation of the flexible piece. When the concave portion for engagement of the intermediate tray reaches the position of the convex portion for engagement, the flexible piece is restored. The convex portion is configured to fit into the concave portion and engage.

However, the conventional cosmetic container in which the convex part for engaging the intermediate dish as described above is formed on the flexible piece on the inner wall surface (outer frame of the container body) of the intermediate dish accommodating recess is flexible as shown in FIG. behind piece 21e, i.e. at the back side of the engaging protrusion 21c, and, between the outermost wall of the container body, the space for removing all flexes when the flexible piece 21e is pressed (gap S) is There is a disadvantage that the thickness (width direction thickness D) of the outer frame 21a of the container body 21 is inevitably increased.

  In addition, the conventional cosmetic container includes one flexible intermediate dish engaging convex portion 21c and the other intermediate dish provided at a position facing the convex portion 21c with the intermediate tray 22 in between. Since there is a large gap (distance L between the engaging portions) corresponding to the diameter of the inner tray 22 as shown in FIG. 8 between the engaging convex portion 21d, the dimensions of the container main body 21 and the inner tray 22 are the same. Depending on the variation, there is a possibility that looseness or looseness may occur between them, and improvement thereof is desired.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic container capable of reducing the thickness of the outer frame of the container body while maintaining the ability to easily and reliably attach and detach the inner dish. And

In order to achieve the above object, the cosmetic container of the present invention comprises a middle dish for filling cosmetics provided with an edge on the outer peripheral part of the bottom part, a middle dish housing recess having a bottom surface and an inner wall surface, A cosmetic container comprising a container main body that detachably accommodates the intermediate dish and a lid that covers the container main body, and an outer periphery of an inner wall surface of the intermediate dish accommodating recess of the container main body or a side part of the intermediate dish A first engaging portion for holding the inner tray is formed on either one of the surfaces at a distance from the bottom surface of the inner tray accommodating recess, and the first engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion on the other side. An engaged portion is provided, and is used for holding an intermediate dish on either the bottom surface of the intermediate dish receiving recess or the lower surface of the bottom portion of the intermediate dish in the vicinity of the first engaged portion or in the vicinity of the first engaged portion . the second engagement portion is formed on the other of the second engaged portion that engages with the second engagement portion is provided, it is arranged close these together And, between the engagement portion of the bottom side of the inner wall surface side engaging portion and the upper SL in the dish accommodating recess in said tray accommodating recess, the edge of the bottom in said tray is held, dishes therein is A cosmetic container that is detachably accommodated in the middle dish accommodating recess is a first gist.

In the cosmetic container according to the present invention, the "engagement portion on the inner wall surface side of the inner tray accommodating recess" composed of the first engagement portion and the first engaged portion , which are arranged close to each other. By sandwiching the edge of the bottom part of the intermediate dish between the "engagement part on the bottom surface side of the intermediate dish accommodating recess" composed of the second engagement part and the second engaged part, This inner tray can be detachably accommodated and held in the inner tray accommodating recess.

  Furthermore, the cosmetic container according to the present invention can be arranged close to each engaging portion that sandwiches the bottom of the intermediate dish, as compared with a conventional cosmetic container that holds the intermediate dish from both sides. Thus, since the distance between the engaging portions is short, even if there are variations in the dimensions of the container main body and the inner pan, it is less likely to be affected. In addition, since the edge of the bottom of the middle dish is gripped in an oblique direction, the holding power of the middle dish, in particular, the vertical holding force in the middle dish attaching / detaching direction is improved, and is accommodated in the middle dish accommodating recess. There is an advantage that it is possible to suppress the looseness of the used middle dish.

  In addition, among the cosmetic containers of the present invention, a flexible piece surrounded by a slit penetrating the three sides of the container body to the back surface of the container body is formed at a predetermined position on the bottom surface of the container tray receiving recess of the container body, In the case where the second engaging portion or the second engaged portion is provided in the vicinity of the tip of the flexible piece, the inner pan can be easily and reliably attached and detached.

Moreover, the cosmetic container, as in the conventional cosmetic container having a flexible piece to the wall surface of the inner plate housing recess, the "space for flexible pieces to retreat avoid" within the outer frame of the container body There is no need to provide it, and the structure of the container body can be simplified and the outer frame can be made thinner.

  And when the cosmetic container of the present invention is manufactured using injection molding or the like, it is possible to reduce the number of complicated processes such as unreasonable punching or use of a moving mold as compared with conventional products. Therefore, the structure and shape of the mold are simplified, which is advantageous in that the mold and the cosmetic container can be manufactured at low cost. Therefore, the cosmetic container of the present invention can achieve downsizing and cost reduction of the container main body while maintaining the performance that allows the inner dish to be easily and reliably attached and detached, equivalent to the conventional product.
