Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a compact container capable of storing cosmetics, etc., and more specifically, the present invention relates to a compact container capable of storing cosmetics, etc. Therefore, the present invention relates to a three-tiered compact container whose lid can be opened automatically.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, this type of compact container has been developed by the applicant, for example, in which an upper lid, a container body, and a lower lid are pivotally connected to each other so that they can be opened and closed, and a pressing member provided at the front end of the container body is used. When the container is pressed inward, the upper and lower surfaces of the pressing member act on the front edges of the upper and lower lids, pressing them up and down, respectively, to open the upper and lower lids relative to the container body. , the lid body is connected to the container by a hinge so as to be freely openable and closable, and an operating edge is provided through slits formed vertically and horizontally on both sides of either the container or the lid body, and the operating edge There is a known structure in which the lid is opened from the container by pressing the lid inward (Utility Model Openings in 1983-
(See Publication No. 67719 and Publication No. 57-54729).

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in the former of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, when the pressing member is pressed, the upper and lower surfaces of the pressing member act on the front edge portions of the upper lid and the lower lid. Since slopes were formed on the upper and lower lids, the machining work was time-consuming and the structure of the container body was complicated, and the pressing member was only provided at the front end of the container body, making it inconvenient to handle. There was a problem.

In the latter case, in order to provide an operating edge, slits must be provided in both vertical and horizontal directions on either side of the container or the lid, which poses the problem of requiring time and effort to process. Ta.

The compact container according to the present invention is a technology developed in view of these conventional problems, and its purpose is to make the lid opening operation easier, and to simplify the overall structure of the container and improve its appearance. The purpose is to provide a compact container that can be packed well and mass-produced.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the compact container of the present invention has a lid, an inner plate, and a body hinged together so that the body can be opened and closed. A predetermined inclined surface is formed on the outer circumferential shoulder of the inner plate, and the outer edge is integrally attached to the front and both sides of the outer circumference of the inner plate with a predetermined gap maintained, so that when the outer edge is pressed inward, the inclined surface is formed. It is characterized in that it moves upward along the surface.

<Function> As described above, the container according to the present invention combines a body having a sloped surface on the outer circumference shoulder and an inner plate having an outer edge with a predetermined gap maintained at the front and both sides of the upper edge of the outer circumference. In addition, when the outer edge is pressed, the lower edge slides along the slope of the body, so the outer edges provided on the front and both sides of the inner plate can be pressed inward. Accordingly, the lid can be automatically opened by opening the hooks between the lid and the body, or the lid and the inner tray, or the body, which are engaged with each other.

Furthermore, since the outer edges are provided only on the front and both sides of the lid, it is stable and can be slid accurately without shifting when pressed.

<Example> To specifically explain an example of the container according to the present invention with reference to the drawings, in Figs. and both sides have inclined surfaces 1 slanting outward and downward from the center.
A is provided. A lid 2 is capable of covering the body 1, and is hinged to the hinge portion 1b of the body 1 via a hinge portion 2b. Further, hooks 1c and 2c are provided at the openings of the body 1 and the lid 2, respectively, and are constructed so as to be able to engage with each other.

Further, reference numeral 3 denotes an inner plate, which is interposed between the body 1 and the lid 2, and is hinged to the body 1 and the lid 2 via a hinge 3b.

Furthermore, a relatively thin and flexible outer edge 5 is integrally attached to the front part and the outer periphery of both sides of the inner plate 3 while maintaining a predetermined groove-like gap 4, and the inner plate 3 and the lid are attached to the body 1. When the outer edge 5 of the inner plate 3 is pressed after the inner plate 3 is covered and constructed, the lower edge of this outer edge 5
It is constructed so as to be able to slide along the inclined surface 1a. In the figure, 6 is a mirror, 7 is a cosmetic, and 8 is a puff.

When using the container according to the present invention, as explained in the section of the above-mentioned function, as shown in FIG. 3 or 4, the outer edge 5 of the inner plate 3 is pressed toward the inner core of the container. By this, the lower edge of the outer edge 5 is raised along the inclined surface 1a of the body 1, thereby forcibly lifting the lid 2, releasing the hook 2c of the lid 2 from the hook 1c of the body 1, and lifting the lid. 2 can be opened automatically.

<Effects of the invention> Since the container according to the invention has the above-described structure and operation, the outer edge provided on the outside of the inner plate is pressed toward the inner core of the container to slide it along the slope of the body. This allows the lid to be pushed up and the engagement between the two hooks to be forcibly released, thereby allowing the lid to be opened easily and reliably.

Furthermore, in the case of the present invention, the outer edge is formed over a relatively short distance only at the front and both sides of the inner plate, so the outer edge is stable and can slide in an accurate position even when pressed. The lid can be opened reliably, the hook piece does not appear in the opening, so it looks good, and the overall structure is simple and can be mass-produced.
