Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a storage container for stick-shaped cosmetics that is suitable for storing stick-shaped cosmetics such as lipsticks, blushers, or lip balms in a manner that allows them to appear and disappear at will. It is.

"Prior Art" As a storage container for bar-shaped cosmetics, the containers shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 are known.

This is done by providing elongated holes 3 extending in the vertical direction of the main body 1 on both side walls 2, 2 of a rectangular cylindrical container main body 1 with an open top end, and inserting a proximal end of the bar-shaped cosmetic A into the main body 1. A saucer 4 holding the body 1 is slidably inserted in the vertical direction of the body 1, and protruding shafts 5 are provided on both sides of the saucer 4 to fit into the elongated holes 3, respectively, so as to cover the upper end opening 6 of the body 1. Leg plates 8 that hang down from the lid body 7 along the outer surfaces of both side walls 2 of the main body 1.
The lower ends of the leg plates 8 are pivotally connected to the protruding shafts 5, and engagement edges 7a are provided on both sides of the top plate of the lid 7, and these engage edges 7a on the opening 6 side and the bottom plate 9 side of the main body 1, respectively. Stepped section 1 provided near
It is constructed so that it can be engaged with the parts a and 1b.

From the closed state shown in the figure, lift the lid straight upward to disengage the step part 1a and the engaging edge 7a, then rotate the lid 7 by 180 degrees to position it directly below the main body 1, and then 7 is pushed upward as it is, the saucer 4 is slid upward and the cosmetic A is protruded, and the engaging edge 7a of the lid 7 is engaged with the stepped portion 1b at the bottom of the main body to temporarily fix it, and in this state. use cosmetics. When storing the cosmetic A in the main body 1 after use, the procedure is the reverse of the above-described operation.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' By the way, many of these bar-shaped cosmetic storage containers do not have a means to replace the cosmetics stored inside, and the entire container must be disposed of as waste after use. In addition, for manufacturers, if cosmetics are damaged or defective when they are filled with cosmetics, they must dispose of each container as a defective product. I had a problem.

On the other hand, containers that do not have a means to exchange the cosmetics themselves are dedicated to one cosmetic product (for example, lipstick), so when increasing the number of lipstick types, it is necessary to have containers for only the lipstick types. It has been difficult to improve the quality of the container itself, as it is necessary to ensure that the cost of the container itself does not become a burden to the user.

The present invention not only effectively solves these problems, but also allows users to use multiple types of bar-shaped cosmetics in the same container.
In addition, the present invention aims to provide a container for storing cosmetics in the form of a bar, which allows manufacturers to replace defective products and reduce the rate of defective products, and also to improve the quality of the container as a whole.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The present invention involves fitting both protruding shafts of a saucer that can move up and down within the main body into elongated holes on both side walls of the main body, and attaching the lower ends of both leg plates of the lid body to both protruding shafts. A holder for holding a proximal end of the bar-shaped cosmetic in the saucer, in a storage container for a bar-shaped cosmetic, which is configured such that the tray is pivoted and the tray is moved up and down by the operation of the lid body to allow the cosmetic to appear and disappear. is removably attached, and an elastic clamping piece is provided on the upper end of the tray to protrude from the upper end of the main body at the upper limit position of the tray, and the elastic clamping piece is fitted into one of the inner surface of the elastic clamping piece and the outer surface of the holder. A mating convex portion is formed on the other side, and a mating concave portion that engages with the mating convex portion is formed on the other side, and a concave portion is formed in the upper part of the elongated hole of the main body to engage with the protrusion shaft of the saucer near the upper limit position of the saucer. A locking protrusion is provided to restrict upward movement.

"Operation" When the lid is operated to raise the saucer, the protrusion shaft hits the locking protrusion of the elongated hole near the upper limit position.
Upward movement is restricted. When the saucer is further raised from this position, the protruding shaft passes over the locking protrusion and the saucer moves to the upper limit position, and the elastic clamping piece protrudes from the upper opening of the main body, allowing the holder to be taken out and attached inside the saucer. It becomes possible.

"Example" Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. This is an example in which the present invention is applied to a storage container in which the bar-shaped cosmetic A is a lipstick. This shows that. In these figures, the reference numeral 10 is a main body, the reference numeral 11 is a saucer, the reference numeral 12 is a holder for holding the base end of the cosmetic bar A, and the reference numeral 13 is a lid body. It consists of

The main body 10 is formed into a square tube shape with a bottom and an opening 14 at the upper end, and the main body 10 is formed on both side walls 15.
Elongated holes 16 extending in the vertical direction (axial direction) are respectively provided. Further, a locking protrusion 17 that protrudes inward is provided at the upper part of the elongated hole 16.
The upward movement of 1 is restricted.

The saucer 11 is configured to be slidably inserted into the main body 10 in the vertical direction, and has a rectangular cross-sectional shape as a whole corresponding to the shape of the inner wall surface of the main body 10. Furthermore, protruding shafts 18 that fit into the elongated holes 16 are provided on both opposing outer surfaces of the saucer 11, and a fitting hole 19 is bored in the center of the protruding shaft 18. On the other hand, from the upper end of the saucer 11, the main body 10 can be seen at the upper end of the saucer 11.
Elastic clamping pieces 20 protrude from the upper end opening 14, and each of these elastic clamping pieces 20
A fitting convex portion 21 is provided on the inner surface.

The lower half of the holder 12 has a rectangular cross section corresponding to the inner wall shape of the saucer 11, and the upper half has a cylindrical shape. Between the lower half and the upper half, there is a flange 2 that comes into contact with the upper end of the saucer 11 (that is, the upper end of the elastic clamping piece 20).
2 is formed, and a fitting recess (in the illustrated example, a circumferential groove) 23 that fits into the fitting convex part 21 of the elastic clamping piece 20 is formed on the outer surface of the lower half. In addition, a fourth
As shown in the figure, a capsule 24 for filling the bar-shaped cosmetic A is fitted therein. Here, I would like to add a supplementary explanation about this capsule 24, which is for molding the bar-shaped cosmetic A, and has a fitting cylinder part that fits on the outside of the main body 10 on the outer periphery of its base end. 25 are integrally provided via a flange portion 26. For example, when bar-shaped cosmetic A is sold as a cartridge, a capsule 24' having a gap g between the cosmetic A and the cap 24 is used, as shown in FIG.
It is preferable to serve with a lid on.

Now, the lid body 13 covering the upper end opening 14 of the main body 10
As shown in FIG. 1, etc., the device has a pair of leg plates 27 that hang down along the outer surfaces of both side walls 15 of the main body 10, and the lower ends of the leg plates 27 are respectively pivotally connected to the protrusion shaft 18. It is configured to be vertically rotatable around the protrusion shaft 18. That is, both leg plates 27
A shaft pin 28 is projected from the inner surface of the projection shaft 18, and the shaft pin 28 is configured to fit into the fitting hole 19 of the projection shaft 18 and to be vertically rotatable. In addition, a rib 28 is provided on the inner surface of the side plate portion of the lid 13 to protrude, and when the lid 13 is in the closed position, the rib 28 comes into elastic contact with the main body 10 to temporarily fix the lid 13. There is.

Next, the operation of the storage container configured as described above will be explained.

To explain the operation in which this storage container is normally used, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figure B, lift it straight upwards, and at the position where the protrusion shaft 18 and the locking protrusion 17 first abut, rotate it 180 degrees as shown in Figure 2C, and then move the lower end of the main body 10. Insert the lid 13 and temporarily secure it, and use the cosmetic A in this state. In addition, when storing the cosmetic A in the main body 1 after use, an operation that is the reverse procedure of the above-mentioned operation will be performed.

Next, regarding the operation of exchanging the bar-shaped cosmetic A,
This will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

To take out the cosmetic A placed in the saucer 11, hold the lid 13 and lift it straight upward as in normal use. As shown, the protrusion shaft 1
8 gets over the locking protrusion 17, and the tray 11 is pulled up to its upper limit position. In this state, the downward movement of the saucer 11 is regulated by the engagement between the projection shaft 18 and the locking protrusion 17, and the elastic clamping piece 20 of the saucer 11 is held at the upper end opening 14 of the main body 10. Since it protrudes from the outside, elastic deformation is possible. Therefore, when the upper half of the holder 12 is pulled out, the elastic clamping piece 20 is elastically deformed outward, and the fitting protrusion 21 and the fitting recess 23 are elastically deformed.
The convex-concave fitting is removed, and the holder 12 is easily pulled out. Note that the holder 12 may be pulled out by holding the holder 12 between the thumb and forefinger, but it is also possible to pull out the holder 12 by holding the holder 12 between the thumb and index finger.
This may be pulled out while being fitted into the holder 12.

To newly store cosmetic A in the empty saucer 11, as shown in FIG.
into the saucer 11 with the holder 12 facing down,
After the fitting protrusion 21 and the fitting recess 23 are fitted into the concave-convex portion, the lid 13 may be operated to lower the saucer 11. By this operation, the flange portion 26 of the capsule 24 comes into contact with the upper end of the main body 10, and the capsule 24 is separated and removed while the saucer 13 is being lowered.

5A to 5D show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the upper opening edge 30 of the main body 10' is edged in an upwardly curved arc shape when viewed from the side wall 15', Further, the top plate 31 of the lid body 13' is also formed into a curved plate having an arcuate cross section approximately corresponding to the curvature of the upper opening edge 30 thereof. In addition, the main body 10'
The curvatures of the upper opening edges 30 and 31 are determined in consideration of the overall size and shape of the container, the stroke of the saucer 11, etc.
The curvature is set to be approximately equal to the curvature of a circular arc whose radius is the straight line distance from the inner surface of the shaft pin 28 to the shaft pin 28. In addition, at the center of the upper opening edge 30 of the main body 10', that is, at a position on the extension line of the elongated hole 16,
A hook 32 is provided on the inner surface of the top plate 31 of the lid 13' and engages with the hook 32 to close the lid 1.
A hook 33 is provided for temporarily securing 3' in its closed position. In addition, in the illustrated example, the hook 33 is configured as a pair in which the hook 32 is sandwiched between the lid body 1 and the hook 33.
Care has been taken to prevent left and right "shaking" of 3'.

In addition, in the storage container of this embodiment, the elongated hole 1
A locking protrusion 17 for locking the protrusion shaft 18 of the saucer 11 is provided at the lower and upper portions of the plate 6, respectively.
In addition, two locking protrusions 17 are provided at the upper part with vertical positions shifted, and in normal use, the protrusion shaft 18 rides over the lower locking protrusion 17 and is locked here, and the holder 12 At the time of replacement, the projection shaft 18 is locked over the lower and upper locking projections 17 to improve its operability.

In this embodiment, even in the closed state, the lid 13' can be rotated as it is to disengage the hooks and rotate downward, so that the lid 13' itself can be rotated. Once you pull it up directly, the above operation becomes unnecessary.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be achieved.

(a) Since bar-shaped cosmetics can be easily replaced, users can use multiple types of cosmetics in the same container, and manufacturers can easily replace containers caused by cosmetics. The rate of defective products can be reduced.

(b) It is possible to improve the decoration of storage containers, and there is no need to dispose of expensive containers as waste.

(c) It becomes extremely easy to open and close the lid and to make the cosmetics appear and disappear.
