Description

  The present invention relates to a compact container in which an intermediate dish member for storing and filling contents can be exchanged, as represented by a cosmetic compact container.

  In a cosmetic compact container or the like, when the contents of a foundation or the like housed in an inner dish member are used up, the entire inner dish member is replaced with a new one. For example, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1, when one engagement protrusion on the operation lever provided in the container body is locked by pushing the inner plate member downward, the lid is opened. In addition, the concave portion of the shaft support portion of the lid is caught by the other engagement piece of the operation lever, so that the intermediate plate member is pushed upward by the rotation of the operation lever.

  In the prior art described in Patent Document 2, a pressing piece having a locking protrusion is provided on the bottom wall of the container body so as to be elastically deformable, and the inner plate member can be attached and detached by elastic deformation of the pressing piece. It is locked to. Furthermore, in the prior art described in Patent Document 3, an elastic plate that can be elastically deformed is provided on the middle frame that houses the middle plate member, and the elastic plate is engaged so that it can be elastically deformed. The dish member can be attached and detached.

  However, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1, since the middle plate member is hooked on the operation lever and locked to the container body, when the middle plate member is mounted, it must be pushed in with a certain force. There is room for improvement in the mountability of the dish member. The same applies to the prior arts described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 in which the intermediate plate member is detachably elastically held.

  In the prior art described in Patent Document 1, a through hole is formed in the middle frame member fixed to the upper side of the container body, and the middle plate member is accommodated through this through hole. If this is not successful, there is a concern that the inner tray member may come off when the lid is opened. These concerns are the same for the prior art described in Patent Documents 2 and 3.

  Furthermore, in the prior art described in Patent Document 1, when the lid is opened, the operation lever is hooked on the shaft support portion, and the operation lever is moved to push up the intermediate plate member. High dimensional accuracy is required. In particular, such dimensional accuracy is conspicuous when the inner plate member is made of metal that is likely to cause a dimensional error. Such a dimensional error is also the same in the prior arts described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 in which the intermediate plate member is elastically held so as to be detachable.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a novel compact container that can be easily attached to the inner tray member and is less likely to fall off regardless of the material.

The present invention includes a container main body having a recess for storing a middle dish member, a middle frame member for forming a storage space for the middle dish member between the concave portion of the container main body, and the container main body via a shaft member. A compact container having a lid supported by the container, and capable of exchanging the intermediate dish member from the container body having the lid opened.
