Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Field of industrial application" This invention relates to a cosmetic storage container or a cosmetic compact that can be freely connected and separated.

``Conventional technology'' Recently, cosmetics of multiple colors are often used at the same time. As cosmetic storage containers for applying makeup, there are known containers in which a cosmetic storage tray with multiple storage chambers is fitted into the container body, and containers in which multiple cosmetic storage trays are packed into the container body. There is. Since the number and color of the cosmetics stored in the container are fixed, it is easy to have excess or shortage of cosmetics, and if there are too many cosmetics, you will have to carry around a large container with unnecessary cosmetics, and if there is a shortage, you will have to use it. Colored cosmetics tend to be contained in two large containers containing unnecessary or common cosmetics, resulting in the inconvenience of having to carry two large containers. As a container that eliminates this inconvenience, a connecting container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-71310 is known.
The container is provided with a groove on the lower surface of one half of the bottom wall of the container main body, and a connecting dovetail plate is attached to the bottom surface of the other half of the bottom wall so as to be able to be pulled out and pushed into the dovetail groove. A groove-like part is provided in which the plates are removably fitted, and a dovetail plate of a specific container is pulled out and fitted into the groove-like part of another container to connect multiple containers, and the dovetail plate is removed. This allows a connected body of multiple containers to be disassembled into individual containers.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' The above conventional connected container has the same shape as the conventional container, and the upper surface of the container main body with the peripheral wall standing up from the periphery of the bottom wall is pivoted to the rear wall of the peripheral wall. Since the dovetail plate is closed with a closed lid, the dovetail plate becomes extremely thin compared to the thickness or height of the container, which weakens the connecting part of multiple containers and reduces the strength of the dovetail plate. If the thickness is increased in order to increase the height of the container, the bottom wall of the container will become significantly thicker, which increases the overall height of the container, making it inconvenient to carry. In addition, since the cosmetic storage tray is fitted into the opening formed by the top surface of the container body by pushing up from above, it is difficult to remove the cosmetic storage tray.
Therefore, it is difficult to replace the container, and there is a drawback that it is difficult to reuse the container by replacing the plate.

This proposal aims to eliminate such shortcomings.
