本発明は、化粧料が充填された中皿と、化粧に用いる用具等とを収容する化粧料用のレフィル容器に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a refill container for cosmetics that accommodates an inner dish filled with cosmetics and tools used for makeup.

ファンデーション，アイシャドウや口紅等の各種化粧料が充填された中皿（化粧皿）を収容して、運搬，販売等の利用に供される容器として、レフィル容器が用いられている（特許文献１を参照）。このレフィル容器は、図５に示すように、金属製の中皿（化粧皿）２２と、透明な合成樹脂製の容器本体２１と、容器本体２１の上面を覆う透明な合成樹脂製の蓋体２３等とからなる。 Foundation, and accommodates the inner plate in which various cosmetics such as eye shadow or lipstick is filled (cosmetic dish), transportation, as a container that is available to the sale, refill containers have been used (Patent Documents 1). This Les fill container, as shown in FIG. 5, a metal inner tray (decorative dish) 22, a container body 21 made of transparent synthetic resin, made of transparent synthetic resin covering the upper surface of the container body 21 The lid body 23 and the like.

上記容器本体２１の上面（使用時の上側面）には、底部２０ｂと側壁部２０ａとからなる中皿収容凹部２０が形成されており、この凹部２０内に、化粧料（固形化粧料）３を充填した中皿２２が収容されている。なお、図中の符号２４は、中皿２２を中皿収容凹部２０の底部２０ｂ（底部２０ｂの上面）に仮固定するための接着剤層であり、符号２０ｃは、上記中皿２２を容器本体２１から取り外す際に、棒等を用いた押し上げに利用する貫通孔である。 On the upper surface (upper side surface in use) of the container main body 21, an inner dish housing recess 20 is formed that includes a bottom portion 20 b and a side wall portion 20 a, and a cosmetic (solid cosmetic) 3 is formed in the recess 20. The inside tray 22 filled with is accommodated. In addition, the code | symbol 24 in a figure is an adhesive bond layer for temporarily fixing the inner tray 22 to the bottom part 20b (upper surface of the bottom part 20b) of the intermediate dish accommodating recessed part 20, and the code | symbol 20c is the said container body in the container main body. This is a through-hole that is used for pushing up with a rod or the like when it is removed from 21.

上記のような化粧料用のレフィル容器においては、運搬時や使用時等に誤って落下させたり、携行中等に他物に当たったりした際に、その衝撃で内部の化粧料が割れたり、砕けたりする場合が多いことが知られている。そこで、それを防止するための提案が種々なされており、本出願人も、上記特許文献１において、化粧料の割れ等を防止できる化粧料容器を提案している。 In the refill container for cosmetics as described above, when the product is accidentally dropped during transportation or use, or when it hits another object during carrying, the internal cosmetics are cracked or broken by the impact. It is known that there are many cases. Therefore, various proposals have been made to prevent this, and the present applicant has also proposed a cosmetic container in Patent Document 1 that can prevent cracking of the cosmetic.

この提案では、上記図５に示すように、化粧料容器（本発明おけるレフィル容器に相当）の容器本体２１の外側周壁２１ａの上端部と中皿収容凹部２０の側壁部２０ａの上端とを連結する、連結壁部２１ｂの一部を「薄肉部」（この例では、湾曲状の折り曲げ部分２１ｃを含む）とするとともに、この薄肉部で、内側の中皿収容凹部２０およびそこに収容される中皿２２を、容器の底面より離間させて（宙に浮かせて）支持することにより、容器外部から加わる衝撃等が中皿２２に直接伝達されるのを防止している。 In this proposal, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 21 a of the container body 21 of the cosmetic container (corresponding to the refill container in the present invention) and the upper end of the side wall 20 a of the intermediate dish receiving recess 20 are connected. A part of the connecting wall portion 21b is a “thin portion” (in this example, including a curved bent portion 21c), and is accommodated in the inner tray receiving recess 20 and the inner portion by this thin portion. By supporting the middle dish 22 away from the bottom surface of the container (floating in the air), it is possible to prevent an impact applied from the outside of the container from being directly transmitted to the middle dish 22.

ところで、上記レフィル容器等、比較的簡素なパッケージの化粧料用の容器は、本来、運搬や陳列用等に用いられるものであり、購入後に、その内部に収容された中皿（化粧皿）を取り出して、あるいは、このレフィル容器ごと、鏡や化粧用具等を備えるコンパクト容器（コンパクトケース）に各種中皿を詰め合わせて収納し、携行・使用されることを想定して設計されている。ところが、近年の利用形態では、上記中皿をコンパクト容器に詰め替えることはせず、レフィル容器を購入時の形態のまま使用し続ける場合が多いことが分かってきた。 By the way, the container for cosmetics in a relatively simple package such as the above-mentioned refill container is originally used for transportation, display, etc., and after purchase, the inner plate (dressing plate) accommodated in the inside is used. It is designed on the assumption that it is taken out or stored in a compact container (compact case) equipped with a mirror, a cosmetic tool, and the like, packed together and stored in various refill containers. However, in recent usage forms, it has been found that the above-described inner dish is not refilled into a compact container, and the refill container is often used as it is at the time of purchase.

しかしながら、従来のレフィル容器（特にパッケージの簡素なもの）は、携行時や使用時に発生する落下や衝突等に起因する大きな衝撃に、充分耐えられるようには設計されていない。ここに改善の余地がある。なお、レフィル容器は、運搬や陳列・販売等を考慮した場合、安価であることは勿論、製品（容器）重量の増加は最小限に留めなければならないという課題がある。また、環境等への配慮から、使用後に出るゴミや廃材の量も減量化する必要がある。 However, conventional refill containers (especially those with a simple package) are not designed to sufficiently withstand large impacts caused by dropping or collision that occur during carrying or use. There is room for improvement here. In consideration of transportation, display, sales, and the like, the refill container is not only inexpensive but also has a problem that the increase in the weight of the product (container) must be kept to a minimum. In addition, in consideration of the environment, it is necessary to reduce the amount of garbage and waste materials after use.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みなされたもので、携行使用に耐えうる充分な耐衝撃性を備える、軽量かつ安価なレフィル容器の提供をその目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a lightweight and inexpensive refill container having sufficient impact resistance that can withstand carrying.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明のレフィル容器は、化粧料が充填された中皿と、この中皿を収容する中皿収容凹部および化粧に用いる用具を収容する化粧用具収容凹部を有する容器本体とを備えるレフィル容器であって、上記容器本体の上面の平面視中央部に、底部と側壁部とからなる中皿収容凹部が形成され、この中皿収容凹部の少なくとも左右両側に、内側側壁部と底部と外側側壁部とからなる化粧用具収容凹部が形成され、これら中皿収容凹部の側壁部上端と化粧用具収容凹部の内側側壁部の上端との間が、可撓性を有する衝撃吸収用の平板部で連結され、上記中皿収容凹部は、その底部が各化粧用具収容凹部の底部下面で構成される容器底面から容器の厚さ方向に離間した状態で支持されているとともに、上記中皿は、その外側側面に形成された被係合用凹部を、上記中皿収容凹部の側壁部に設けられた係合用凸部に係合させ、この中皿の底部が上記中皿収容凹部の底部から中皿の厚さ方向に離間した状態で、中皿収容凹部内に収容されている構成をとる。 In order to achieve the above object, a refill container of the present invention is a container having an inner dish filled with a cosmetic, an inner dish accommodating recess for accommodating the inner dish, and a cosmetic tool accommodating recess for accommodating a tool used for makeup. A refill container comprising a main body, wherein an inner tray accommodating recess comprising a bottom portion and a side wall portion is formed in a central portion of the upper surface of the container main body in plan view, and an inner side wall is provided at least on both left and right sides of the inner tray receiving recess. A cosmetic device receiving recess comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, and an outer side wall portion is formed, and a flexible shock absorber is provided between the upper end of the side wall portion of the inner tray receiving recess and the upper end of the inner side wall portion of the cosmetic device receiving recess. The intermediate plate receiving recess is supported in a state where the bottom portion is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the container formed by the bottom bottom surface of each cosmetic device receiving recess in the thickness direction of the container , and The inner plate is outside it The recess for the engagement formed on the surface, into engagement with the engaging protrusion provided on the side wall portion in said tray accommodating recess, the bottom of the inner tray is the inner tray from the bottom of the in the dish accommodating recess thickness The structure accommodated in the inner dish accommodation recessed part in the state spaced apart to the vertical direction is taken.

すなわち、本発明者らは、前記課題を解決する方策として、レフィル容器における緩衝構造を多重化することを検討した。しかしながら、衝撃吸収材等の別部材の使用や、製造工程を大幅に変更する改良では、レフィル容器のコストや重量が増加してしまう。そこで、発明者らは、樹脂成形体からなる容器本体の形状に工夫を凝らし、運搬時や使用中に最も荷重のかかり易い、容器上下方向の中皿底部と中皿収容凹部の底部とを、空気層（隙間）を挟んで両者とも宙に浮かせ、二重に懸架して保護することを着想した。また、落下時等に衝撃を受け易い左右方向（容器の水平方向）は、中皿収容凹部の周りの容器本体の側壁を左右方向に延設し、その延設部を、容器上面に向けて開口する凹状とすることにより、左右方向の衝撃を緩和する緩衝ゾーンとするとともに、この上向きの大きな凹部の利用方法を模索した結果、この凹部を、化粧用具を収容するスペースとして用いれば、レフィル容器の上面を、無駄なく有効に活用できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。 That is, the present inventors examined multiplexing the buffer structure in the refill container as a measure for solving the above problems. However, the use of a separate member such as a shock absorber or an improvement that significantly changes the manufacturing process increases the cost and weight of the refill container. Therefore, the inventors have devised the shape of the container body made of a resin molded body, the container bottom direction middle dish bottom part and the bottom part of the dish serving recess, which is most easily loaded during transportation and use, The idea was to float both in the air with an air layer (gap) between them and to suspend them for protection. Also, in the left-right direction (the horizontal direction of the container) that is easily impacted when dropped, etc., the side wall of the container main body around the inner tray accommodating recess is extended in the left-right direction, and the extending part is directed toward the upper surface of the container. As a result of searching for a method of using the upward large concave portion as a buffer zone that reduces the impact in the left-right direction by making the concave shape open, if this concave portion is used as a space for storing a cosmetic tool, a refill container The present inventors have found that the upper surface can be effectively used without waste, and have reached the present invention.

以上のように、本発明のレフィル容器では、中皿収容凹部が容器本体の上面の平面視中央部に形成されており、その左右両側（容器本体の端部側）に、この中皿収容凹部を挟み込むように化粧用具収容凹部が形成され、これらの間を連結する可撓性の平板部により、容器本体の中央の上記中皿収容凹部が、容器底面から容器の厚さ方向に離間した状態（すなわち、宙に浮いた状態）で支持されている。さらに、化粧料が充填された中皿は、その外側側面に形成された被係合用凹部を上記中皿収容凹部の側壁部に設けられた係合用凸部に係合させることにより、中皿の底部が上記中皿収容凹部の底部から中皿の厚さ方向に離間した状態（宙に浮いた状態）で、中皿収容凹部内に収容・保持されている。このため、容器本体の上下（天地）方向から衝撃や揺れ等を受けた場合、その振動と荷重は、上記のように二重に保護されている上記中皿に直接伝わらず、上記可撓性の平板部で吸収・緩和される。また、容器本体の左右方向（水平方向）から衝撃や揺れ等を受けた場合は、上記平板部と上記中皿収容凹部の外側に位置する化粧用具収容凹部（外側側壁部および内側側壁部）とが、その可撓性により外部からの振動および荷重を吸収・緩和する。さらに、容器本体の前後方向（手前−奥方向）から衝撃や揺れ等を受けた場合も、上記平板部と中皿収容凹部の側壁部とが、その可撓性により外部からの振動および荷重を吸収・緩和する。これにより、本発明のレフィル容器は、どの方向からの衝撃等に対しても、従来品に比べ耐衝撃性が向上し、携行時や使用時に発生する大きな衝撃等を受けた場合でも、中皿に収容した化粧料が破損することが防止される。 As described above, in the refill container according to the present invention, the middle dish accommodating recess is formed in the central portion of the upper surface of the container main body in plan view, and this middle dish accommodating recess is formed on the left and right sides (the end side of the container main body). A cosmetic tool receiving recess is formed so as to sandwich the container, and the above-described inner dish receiving recess in the center of the container body is spaced apart from the bottom of the container in the thickness direction of the container by a flexible flat plate portion that connects between them (Ie, floating in the air). Furthermore, the intermediate dish filled with the cosmetic is engaged with the engagement concave part formed on the outer side surface of the intermediate dish with the engaging convex part provided on the side wall part of the intermediate dish accommodating concave part. The bottom part is accommodated and held in the middle dish accommodating recess in a state where the bottom part is separated from the bottom part of the middle dish accommodating concave part in the thickness direction of the middle dish (floating in the air). For this reason, when the container body is subjected to an impact or a shake from the vertical (top / bottom) direction, the vibration and load are not directly transmitted to the inner plate that is double-protected as described above, but the flexibility It is absorbed and relaxed by the flat plate part. In addition, when receiving impact or shaking from the left and right direction (horizontal direction) of the container body, the flat plate portion and the cosmetic device receiving recess (outer side wall portion and inner side wall portion) located outside the inner tray receiving recess However, it absorbs and relieves external vibrations and loads due to its flexibility. Furthermore, even when an impact or a shake is received from the front-rear direction (front-back direction) of the container body, the flat plate portion and the side wall portion of the inner tray accommodating recess receive external vibration and load due to its flexibility. Absorb and relax. As a result, the refill container of the present invention has improved impact resistance against impacts from any direction compared to conventional products, and even when subjected to large impacts, etc. that occur during carrying or use, It is prevented that the cosmetics accommodated in are damaged.

さらに、上記レフィル容器は、緩衝作用を備える別部材等を用いる必要がないため、軽量な一体型の容器本体を、樹脂を用いた射出成形等により、安価に作製することが可能である。しかも、上記中皿収容凹部の左右両側に設けた緩衝用の凹部を、上記のように化粧用具収容凹部として利用できるため、レフィル容器を購入時の形態のまま使用する単独利用時は勿論、中皿（化粧皿）のみを取り出してコンパクト容器に収納する場合や、このレフィル容器ごとコンパクト容器内に収納して利用する場合、あるいは、化粧料を使い尽くした後に破棄する場合でも、ゴミの分別等が簡単で、廃材等となる部分が少ないという利点がある。 Furthermore, since the refill container does not need to use a separate member or the like having a buffering action, a lightweight integrated container body can be manufactured at low cost by injection molding using a resin or the like. Moreover, since the buffer recesses provided on the left and right sides of the middle dish receiving recess can be used as a cosmetic tool receiving recess as described above, of course, when using the refill container as it is at the time of purchase, and if the dish (cosmetic dish) alone is taken out compact storage container, if the use is housed in the crotch of Les fill the container you and compact within the container, or, even if discarded after the exhausted cosmetics, There are advantages such as easy separation of garbage and few parts that become waste materials.
