Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a compact container having a so-called double container structure, that is, a compact container having a main container for storing cosmetics and an auxiliary container for storing cosmetic tools, etc. Regarding containers.

[Prior Art] In the compact container described above, since the auxiliary container is made of the same hard material as the main container, the shape does not change, and the size and quantity of cosmetic tools that can be stored are severely limited. Moreover, even when no cosmetic tools are stored or only a small amount is stored, the container becomes unnecessarily bulky. Furthermore, the material of the auxiliary container is hard and has the disadvantage of being hard to the touch (Utility Model Publication No. 59-22610).

[Solution Means of the Present Invention] The present invention provides a compact container in which a main container 10 and a lid 20 are provided in a hinged manner so that the main container 10 and a lid 20 can be freely opened and closed. The auxiliary container 30 is equipped with an auxiliary container 30 having substantially the same planar shape as the main container 10 or the lid 20, and a U-shaped body with lower ends of both legs hinged to the substrate 34. a rear peripheral edge of the base body 34 and the U-shaped frame 36;
A first finger rest part 47 is formed by extending either the left or right half of the front edge of the U-shaped frame 36 forward. However, a second finger rest 46 is formed by extending forward from the front edge of the substrate 34 on the side opposite to the first finger rest 47 .

[Function] In the compact container of the present invention, since the auxiliary container is covered with a flexible sheet material, its outer shape changes depending on the size and quantity of cosmetic tools to be stored in the auxiliary container.

To open the auxiliary container, place your finger on the second finger rest and press the first finger rest.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention, and 10 is the main body of the compact container, which has a recess 12 for storing cosmetics. 30
is an auxiliary container attached to the lower surface of the main container,
Cosmetic tools 58 such as a puff 56, a makeup brush, and a makeup brush are stored. A lid body 2 is provided on the upper surface side of the main container body 10.
0 is attached by a hinge 22 so that it can be opened and closed. 16 and 26 are locking protrusions provided on the front edges 14 and 24 of the main container body 10 and the lid body 20, respectively;
The main container body 10 and the lid body 20 are kept in a closed state by engaging with each other.

Reference numeral 34 denotes a substrate forming a part of the auxiliary container 30, which is made of hard plastic and has a substantially square shape. Support portions are provided protruding from the center of both sides of the base plate 34, and the lower ends of the legs of the U-shaped frame 36 are attached to the support portions by hinge pins 38 so as to be openable and closable. 3
7 is a flexible sheet material, and approximately half of its rear edge is fixed to the rear peripheral edge of the substrate 34, and approximately half of its front edge is fixed to the U-shaped frame 36. Ultrasonic ribs 42 are intermittently provided on the periphery of the back surface 40 of the substrate 34, and these portions are brought together to join the main container 10 and the auxiliary container 30 by ultrasonic processing. In FIG. 1, substantially the left half of the intermediate portion 44 of the U-shaped frame 36 extends in the outer circumferential direction and is thickened toward the upper surface side to form a finger rest portion 47. Almost the right half of the front edge of the substrate 34 facing the substrate 34 also extends in the outer circumferential direction and is thickened toward the lower surface to form a finger rest portion 46 . At opposing edges of the finger rests 46 and 47 of the substrate 34 and the U-shaped frame 36, locking protrusions 50 and 52 that can engage with each other are provided to maintain the closed state of the auxiliary container 30.

In the above embodiment, the main container body 10 and the auxiliary container body 30 were welded together, but instead of this, although not shown, the main container body 10 or the lid body 20
A sliding dovetail groove is provided on the surface of the auxiliary container 30, and a sliding ridge is provided on the back surface 40 of the base plate 34 of the auxiliary container 30 to engage with this, thereby making the main container 10 and the auxiliary container 30 detachable. You can also do it. Alternatively, a snap means provided on the abutment surfaces of the main container 10 and the auxiliary container 30 may be used to make them detachable.

It is also useful to make the shape of the substrate 34 into a frame-like square shape, as shown in FIG. 3, in order to save materials.

[Effects of the invention] It is possible to store a plurality of cosmetic tools of various sizes in the auxiliary container 30, and small items other than cosmetic tools such as keys can also be stored. If no cosmetic tools are to be stored or if only a small amount is to be stored, the container will not be bulky. It is also soft to the touch.

Since the auxiliary container has substantially the same planar shape as the main container, it does not protrude from the periphery of the main container, and the compact container with the auxiliary container can be carried around with the same feeling as carrying only the main container.
