These operations complete the first procedure.

Next, as a second procedure, as shown in FIG. 7A, the sliding projection of the cover F is directed from the front to the rear of the lid frame E in a horizontal state with the top plate 40 of the cover F facing up. The upper surface of 43 is pushed into the recess 28 so as to slide with the lower surface of the guide rail 27 of the lid frame E.
If it does so, the mirror holding rib 45 formed in the lower surface of the top plate 40 of the cover F will slide toward the back of the cover frame F, pressing the back surface of the mirror 21. FIG.
After that, when the retaining convex portion 44 of the cover F hits the stopper convex portion 29 of the lid frame E, the retaining convex portion 44 passes over the stopper convex portion 29 as it is, and the back surface of the front wall 41 of the cover F is the lid frame. The sliding of the cover F stops by contacting the front end surface of the E substrate 22.
At the same time, the magnet pressing rib 46 formed on the back surface of the top plate 40 slides toward the rear of the lid frame F while pressing the upper surface of the first magnet 20 inserted into the magnet surrounding wall 30. .
At that time, the taper portion 46a formed at the rear end portion of the magnet pressing rib 46 slides while gradually pressing the upper end portion of the first magnet 20, whereby the first magnet 20 is pushed backward. The escape from the magnet surrounding wall 30 can be prevented.
In the present embodiment, the lid frame E has a shape in which a wall rises so as to surround three sides except the front side from the upper surface of the substrate 22, and the cover F surrounds three sides except the rear side from the lower surface of the top plate 40. However, this is because the cover F is slid from the front to the rear with respect to the lid frame E.
On the contrary, if the cover F is slid from the rear to the front with respect to the lid E, the frame E is raised so as to surround three sides except the rear, and the cover F is It is natural that the wall is suspended so as to surround three sides except the front, and which one can be selected can be appropriately determined as necessary.

As described above, the lid C of this embodiment covers the first procedure for positioning and arranging the first magnet 20 and the mirror 21 on the lid frame E, and covers the cover F by sliding the cover F horizontally on the lid frame E. The assembly can be completed only by the second procedure.
Further, the top plate 40 of the cover F has the magnet pressing rib 46 and the mirror pressing rib 45 formed in the front-rear direction of the back surface, so that the first magnet 20 and the mirror 21 can be securely fixed to the lid frame E. it can.
After the assembly of the lid C is completed, the compact case A of the present embodiment has the first hinge block 10 of the case main body B constituting the hinge portion D and the second of the lid C as shown in FIG. By inserting a hinge shaft (not shown) into the respective shaft holes 11 and 36 formed in the hinge block 33, the lid body C is pivotally attached to the case body B so as to be opened and closed.

Further, when the compact case A is discarded after use, the lid C is slid strongly in the horizontal direction toward the front with the cover F placed on the lid frame E contrary to the assembly procedure described above. Then, the cover F can be removed from the lid frame E by the retaining projection 44 getting over the stopper projection 29.
Then, the first magnet 20 and the mirror 21 positioned and arranged on the lid frame E are released from the pressing force by the magnet pressing rib 46 and the mirror pressing rib 45 formed on the back surface of the cover F, and the different parts from the lid frame E are released. The first magnet 20 and the mirror 21 can be easily removed.
Furthermore, since the notch 31 is formed in the center part of the horizontal direction of the magnet surrounding wall 30, when removing the 1st magnet 20, it can pick out easily.

  From the above, in the compact case of the present embodiment, the different material parts can be separated and discarded efficiently by easily removing the magnet and the mirror which are the different material parts from the resin lid.
