Description

The present invention relates to compact containers.

2. Description of the Related Art Compact containers equipped with an inner lid that covers the contents stored in the container body from above have been known. For example, Patent Document 1 below describes a compact body, a lid body that closes the top surface of the body, a coil spring provided on the compact body or the lid body, and a transparent body placed on the top surface of cosmetics housed in the compact body. A cosmetic compact container is disclosed comprising a thin plate. The transparent thin plate described above corresponds to the inner lid.

Publication number 7-19374

In the compact container of Patent Document 1, a user can use the cosmetic by removing the transparent thin plate from the top surface of the cosmetic and inserting and locking the transparent thin plate into the coil spring. Therefore, the risk of losing the transparent thin plate is eliminated, and the compact container can be used without placing the transparent thin plate on a desk or the like. However, it requires an operation to insert the transparent thin plate into the gap between the coil springs, and there is room for improvement in the operability when opening the transparent thin plate. Furthermore, when the user holds the compact container, there is a risk that the cosmetics adhering to the lower surface of the transparent thin plate may come into contact with the user's hands or fingers, or that the position of the transparent thin plate may become unstable. Therefore, there is also room for improvement in the usability of compact containers.

One aspect of the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and one of the objects is to provide a compact container with excellent operability and usability when opening the inner lid.

In order to achieve the above object, a compact container according to one aspect of the present invention includes a container body that opens upward and has a storage recess for accommodating contents, and an upper lid that releasably closes the storage recess. and a film-like inner lid that is rotatable about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction between a closed position that closes the opening of the storage recess and an open position that opens the opening. , a deformable portion is formed on at least one of the container body and the inner lid to bend and deform the inner lid upward when the inner lid is rotated from the closed position to the open position. has been done.

In the compact container according to one embodiment of the present invention, the opening of the storage recess is opened by rotating the film-like inner lid with respect to the container body about a rotation axis extending in the vertical direction, and the contents are stored in the compact container. can be used. Therefore, the user does not have to remove the inner lid from the container body and hold it in another holding member, and can improve the operability when opening the inner lid. Furthermore, when the inner lid is rotated to the open position, the inner lid is bent upward by a deformation section provided on at least one of the container body and the inner lid. If you hold it from your hand, the bottom surface of the inner lid will move away from your hand. This makes it difficult for the contents attached to the lower surface of the inner lid to come into contact with the user's hands and fingers. Furthermore, the friction force generated when the lower surface of the inner cover contacts the deformed portion makes it difficult for the inner cover to move, and the position of the inner cover becomes stable. Thereby, usability of the compact container can be improved.

The compact container according to one aspect of the present invention further includes a shaft provided in the container body and coaxial with the rotation axis, and the inner lid is provided with a rotation hole through which the shaft is inserted. an engaging recess is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the rotation hole, an engaging protrusion that engages with the engaging recess is provided on the container body or the shaft body, and the engaging protrusion is The inner lid may be held at a predetermined rotational position by engaging with the engagement recess.

According to this configuration, when the inner lid is rotated, the rotation of the inner lid is restricted in a state where the engagement convex portion of the container body or the shaft body is engaged with the engagement recess of the rotation hole, and the inner lid is restricted from rotating. The lid is held in a predetermined rotational position. This prevents the inner lid from rotating unintentionally, for example when the user holds the container body, thereby further improving usability.

In one aspect of the compact container of the present invention, the deformable portion protrudes upward from the container body on the front side of the inner lid in the rotation direction from the closed position to the open position, and The inner lid may be configured to include a riding wall portion on which the inner lid that has been rotated rides on.

According to this configuration, when the inner lid is rotated from the closed position to the open position, the inner lid rides over the climbing wall portion that projects upward from the container main body, thereby bending and deforming upward. Therefore, the inner lid can be smoothly bent and deformed, and usability can be further improved.

According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a compact container with excellent operability and usability when opening the inner lid.

As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting portion 43 has a rotation hole 46 that is circular in plan view. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a pin insertion hole 47 that opens upward and extends in the vertical direction is formed in the bottom wall portion 17 of the container body 11. The central axis G of the pin insertion hole 47 is arranged coaxially with the center of the rotation hole 46, and the fixing pin 48 is inserted into the pin insertion hole 47 via the rotation hole 46. The connecting portion 43 of the inner lid 14 is sandwiched between the upper surface 17a of the main body bottom wall portion 17 and the lower head surface 48b of the fixing pin 48. However, the gap between the upper surface 17a of the main body bottom wall portion 17 and the lower head surface 48b of the fixing pin 48 is larger than the thickness of the connecting portion 43 (inner lid 14), and the gap between the fixing pin 48 and the connecting portion 43 is larger than the thickness of the connecting portion 43 (inner lid 14). A small amount of clearance is provided. The fixing pin 48 of this embodiment corresponds to the shaft body in the claims.

With the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the inner lid 14 can move between the closed position where the opening of the content accommodation recess 25 is closed and the open position where the opening of the content accommodation recess 25 is opened. , is rotatable about the central axis G of the fixing pin 48 (pin insertion hole 47) along a direction intersecting the vertical direction. Therefore, the rotation connecting portion 15 for rotating the inner lid 14 is composed of the fixing pin 48 , the pin insertion hole 47 in the container body 11 , and the rotation hole 46 in the inner lid 14 . In addition, in the case of this embodiment, the central axis of the fixing pin 48 (pin insertion hole 47) extending in the vertical direction is the axis around which the inner lid 14 rotates, and hereinafter referred to as the rotation axis. It is called axis G.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the inner lid 14 is rotated clockwise by a predetermined angle θ from the closed position shown in FIG. 1 to the open position. The angle at which the inner lid 14 rotates from the closed position shown in FIG. 1 to the open position shown in FIG. 4 is referred to as a rotation angle θ. In the case of this embodiment, the rotation angle θ is about 120°, but the rotation angle θ is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate.
In this specification, the direction in which the inner lid 14 on the side to be rotated moves from the closed position to the open position is referred to as the rotation direction, as shown by arrow Y in FIG. The rear end side of the arrow Y is referred to as the rear in the rotation direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, an engagement convex portion 50 is formed on the bottom wall portion 17 of the container body 11 and protrudes radially outward about the rotation axis G in a semicircular shape in plan view. In the case of this embodiment, the two engaging protrusions 50 are formed at positions facing each other in the radial direction around the rotation axis G, that is, at positions 180° apart in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis G. ing. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the engagement protrusion 50 is formed such that the upper surface 50a of the engagement protrusion 50 is located higher than the upper surface 17a of the main body bottom wall 17 at the peripheral edge of the pin insertion hole 47. has been done. In this embodiment, the radial direction indicates the radial direction of an imaginary circle centered on the rotation axis G, and the circumferential direction indicates the circumferential direction of the imaginary circle centered on the rotation axis G.

As shown in FIG. 2, an engagement recess 52 that engages with the engagement protrusion 50 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the rotation hole 46 of the inner lid 14. As shown in FIG. In the case of this embodiment, four engagement recesses 52 are formed, and among the four engagement recesses 52, two each of the engagement recesses 52 are mutually connected to each other in the radial direction centering on the rotation axis G. They are formed at opposing positions, that is, at positions 180° apart in the circumferential direction about the rotation axis G. If two engaging recesses 52 located at positions facing each other in the radial direction centering on the rotation axis G are one set of engaging recesses 52, one of the engaging recesses 52 of one set and the other of the engaging recesses 52 of the other set. One of the mating recesses 52 is formed at a position separated by a rotation angle θ of the inner lid 14 in the circumferential direction about the rotation axis G.

Each of the two engagement protrusions 50 has the same size and shape, but for convenience of explanation, the left engagement protrusion 50 shown in FIG. 2 will be referred to as the first engagement protrusion 501 below. The right engaging protrusion 50 is referred to as a second engaging protrusion 502. Similarly, each of the four engagement recesses 52 has the same size and shape, but for convenience of explanation, the engagement recess 52 recessed toward the left side in FIG. 2 will be described below as the first engagement recess 52. They are referred to as a mating recess 521, and clockwise from the first engaging recess 521, they are sequentially referred to as a second engaging recess 522, a third engaging recess 523, and a fourth engaging recess 524.

Therefore, to paraphrase the above configuration using the names of these engaging recesses 52, the first engaging recess 521 and the third engaging recess 523, and the second engaging recess 522 and the fourth engaging recess 524 are each one The second engagement recess 522 and the third engagement recess 523 are formed at positions separated by the rotation angle θ of the inner lid 14 in the circumferential direction about the rotation axis G, The fourth engagement recess 524 and the first engagement recess 521 are formed at positions separated by a rotation angle θ of the inner lid 14 in the circumferential direction about the rotation axis G.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, in the closed position, the first engagement protrusion 501 engages with the first engagement recess 521, and the second engagement protrusion 502 engages with the third engagement recess 523. As a result, the inner lid 14 is positioned at a predetermined rotational position, that is, the closed position, and held at that position. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the open position, the first engagement protrusion 501 engages with the fourth engagement recess 524, and the second engagement protrusion 502 engages with the second engagement recess 522. By doing so, the inner lid 14 is positioned at a predetermined rotational position, that is, the open position, and is held at that position.

A first convex portion 21 for positioning the inner lid is formed on the bottom wall portion 17 of the container body 11 and projects upward. The first convex portion 21 for positioning the inner lid is formed in the shape of a circular protrusion in plan view. In the closed position, the first convex portion 21 for positioning the inner lid comes into contact with the left end of the grip portion 44 of the inner lid 14 . Further, the bottom wall portion 17 of the main body is formed with a second convex portion 22 for positioning the inner lid that protrudes upward. The second convex portion 22 for positioning the inner lid is formed into a wall shape that follows the rounded shape of the corner of the inner lid 14 . In the closed position, the second inner lid positioning convex portion 22 comes into contact with the front left corner of the inner lid 14 . The first protrusion 21 for positioning the inner lid and the second protrusion 22 for positioning the inner lid fix the position of the inner lid 14 in the closed position, and restrict counterclockwise rotation of the inner lid. . In addition, the first convex portion 21 for positioning the inner lid and the second convex portion 22 for positioning the inner lid are set at a height such that the inner lid 14 can easily be climbed over when the user rotates the inner lid 14 clockwise. It has a certain quality.

Further, the grip portion 44 of the inner lid 14 is formed with a finger hook convex portion 54 that protrudes upward and is used for hooking a finger when the user grips the grip portion 44.

As shown in FIG. 1, the run-up wall portion 20 is located at a position on the front side in the rotational direction of the inner lid 14 in the main body circumferential wall portion 18 of the container body 11, specifically, in the front-rear direction on the right main body circumferential wall portion 18. It is formed in an inverted L-shape in plan view at a position extending from approximately the center to the right rear corner. As shown in FIG. 6 , the riding wall portion 20 is formed integrally with the main body peripheral wall portion 18 so as to protrude upward from the main body peripheral wall portion 18 . The riding wall portion 20 is located at a step between the outer circumferential portion 181 and the inner circumferential portion 182, and has an inclined surface 20a that is inclined with respect to the upper surface 182a of the inner circumferential portion 182.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an accommodation groove 59 is formed in the upper lid peripheral wall 31 at a position facing the riding wall 20 when the upper lid 12 is closed. . The storage groove portion 59 has a size and depth that can accommodate the riding wall portion 20 when the top lid 12 is closed. As a result, the riding wall portion 20 is housed in the housing groove 59 when the top lid 12 is closed, so that the top lid 12 can close the housing recess 23 of the container body 11 without any gaps.

Hereinafter, the procedure for opening the inner lid 14 in the compact container 10 of this embodiment will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 1, when the inner lid 14 is in the closed state after the upper lid 12 is opened, the inner lid 14 is arranged at a position overlapping the contents storage recess 25 in a plan view. The opening is blocked. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the first engagement protrusion 501 of the container body 11 engages with the first engagement recess 521 of the inner lid 14, and the second engagement protrusion 502 engages with the third engagement recess. 523. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner lid 14 does not overlap the running wall portion 20 in plan view.

From this state, the user grasps the grip portion 44 of the inner lid 14 and rotates the inner lid 14 clockwise. At this time, since the inner lid 14 is a thin film-like member made of a material such as resin and is easily elastically deformed, the engagement between the first engagement protrusion 501 and the first engagement recess 521, Then, the engagement between the second engagement convex portion 502 and the third engagement concave portion 523 is released, and the first convex portion 21 for positioning the inner lid and the second convex portion 22 for positioning the inner lid are rotated. can do.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, after rotating the inner lid 14, when the rotation angle θ is reached, the inner lid 14 moves to a position where it does not overlap with the content storage recess 25 in plan view. , the upper opening of the content storage recess 25 is opened. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the second engagement recess 522 and the third engagement recess 523 of the inner lid 14 are arranged at positions separated by the rotation angle θ, and the fourth engagement recess 524 and the first Since the engaging recess 521 is located at a position separated by the rotation angle θ, the fourth engaging recess 524 of the inner lid 14 moves to the position of the first engaging protrusion 501 of the container body 11, and The second engagement recess 522 moves to the position of the second engagement protrusion 502 . Here, the first engagement protrusion 501 and the fourth engagement recess 524 engage, and the second engagement protrusion 502 and the second engagement recess 522 engage, so that the inner lid 14 is not opened. Positioned and held in position.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner lid 14 is placed at a position overlapping the riding wall portion 20 in plan view. That is, the inner lid 14 is rotated to a position where a portion of the inner lid 14 overlaps the riding wall portion 20 in a plan view. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the inner lid 14 rides on the running wall part 20, and rotates while contacting the inner peripheral part 182 and the running wall part 20 until reaching the rotation angle θ. Since the position of the top of the riding wall portion 20 is higher than the position of the upper surface 182a of the inner peripheral portion 182, the inner lid 14 is flexibly deformed so that the outer side in the radial direction about the rotation axis G is located upward. Note that the degree to which the inner lid 14 is flexibly deformed can be adjusted by adjusting the cross-sectional shape of the riding wall portion 20 shown in FIG. 6 .

For example, as shown in Patent Document 1, a conventional compact container has a structure in which a holding member provided on the container body holds the inner lid in a position where it does not interfere with the use of the contents. However, with this configuration, it is necessary to hold the inner cover in the holding member after once removing it, and there is room for improvement in the operability when opening the inner cover. In addition, when the user holds the compact container, the inner lid is placed approximately horizontally from the top surface of the container body, so the inner lid is positioned close to the user's hands and fingers and adheres to the bottom surface of the inner lid. There was a risk that the contents could come into contact with hands and fingers. Furthermore, since only one end of the inner lid is held by the holding member, there is a risk that the position of the inner lid may become unstable. Therefore, there is room for improvement in the usability of compact containers.

On the other hand, in the compact container 10 of the present embodiment, the upper opening of the contents storage recess 25 is opened by rotating the film-like inner lid 14 relative to the container body 11 along the vertically intersecting direction. can be opened and the contents C can be taken out. Therefore, the user does not need to remove the inner lid 14 from the container body 11 and hold it in a separately provided holding member. Thereby, the operability when opening the inner lid 14 can be improved.

Further, when the inner lid 14 is rotated to the open position, it is bent upward by the wall portion 20 on the container body 11, so that, for example, when the user holds the container body 11 from below by hand, The lower surface of the inner lid 14 moves in the direction away from the hand. This makes it difficult for the contents C attached to the lower surface of the inner lid 14 to come into contact with the user's hands and fingers. Further, since the lower surface of the inner lid 14 contacts the riding wall portion 20, the position of the inner lid 14 is stabilized by the frictional force generated on the abutment surface between the inner lid 14 and the riding wall portion 20. Thereby, the usability of the compact container 10 can be improved.

Further, in the compact container 10 of the present embodiment, the container main body 11 is provided with an engagement protrusion 50, the rotation hole 46 of the inner lid 14 is provided with an engagement recess 52, and the engagement protrusion 50 is arranged in the engagement recess. 52, when the inner cover 14 is rotated, the rotation of the inner cover 14 is restricted with the engagement protrusion 50 engaged with the engagement recess 52, and the inner cover 14 is rotated. The lid 14 is held in a predetermined rotational position. As a result, when the user holds the container body 11, for example, the inner lid 14 is prevented from rotating unintentionally, and the inner lid 14 is prevented from moving above the contents C or the mirror member 36. Since this is suppressed, usability can be further improved. In particular, in the case of this embodiment, there are two engagement protrusions 50 and four engagement recesses 52, and different combinations of engagement protrusions 50 and engagement recesses 52 are engaged in each of the closed position and the open position. Since the inner lid 14 has a matching configuration, the position of the inner lid 14 can be stabilized in both the closed position and the open position.

In addition, in the compact container 10 of this embodiment, since the deformable portion is configured with the riding wall portion 20 on which the inner lid 14 rides on when the deformable portion rotates from the closed position to the open position, the inner lid 14 is rotated from the closed position to the open position. When the container is rotated to the open position, it rides on the climbing wall portion 20 that projects upward from the container body, and is bent and deformed upward. Therefore, the inner lid 14 can be smoothly bent and deformed. In addition, in the case of the riding wall portion 20 of this embodiment, compared to, for example, a case where the deformation portion for bending and deforming the inner lid 14 is formed in a protrusion shape, more damage occurs on the contact surface between the inner lid 14 and the deformation portion. Since the frictional force is increased, the position of the inner lid 14 can be made more stable. Thereby, the usability of the compact container 10 can be further improved.

Note that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the deformation portion for bending and deforming the inner lid 14 is formed as one continuous wall portion 20, but it may be formed as a plurality of wall portions or a plurality of convex portions that are interrupted in the middle, for example. You can. Further, in the above embodiment, the container main body 11 is provided with a deformable portion, but instead of this configuration, the inner lid 14 may be provided with a deformable portion, or both the container main body 11 and the inner lid 14 may be provided with a deformable portion. A deformed portion may be provided in the.

Further, in the embodiment described above, the engagement convex portion 50 that protrudes radially outward about the rotation axis G and restricts the rotation position of the inner lid 14 is formed on the container body 11, but the fixing pin 48 may be formed.
