Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Field of industrial application" The invention relates to a compact cosmetic container, and more specifically, the invention is constructed such that the lid body is effectively held in a closed state with respect to the body of the compact container. This invention relates to a compact cosmetic container.

``Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas'' Conventionally, for this type of container, a compact container body made of synthetic resin and a lid made of synthetic resin are placed between clamping plates protruding from the rear surface of the compact container body. There is a device in which a rotating protrusion hanging down from the rear edge of the top wall of the lid is sandwiched, and the clamping plate and the rotating protrusion are pivotally connected to enable rotation of the lid.

The open state of the lid relative to the compact container body is maintained by a spring or the like, and the closed state is maintained by elastic engagement between an engaging piece attached to the lid and an engaging element attached to the compact container body. Ta.

In conventional containers, there is a risk that the elastic engagement between the engaging piece and the engaging element that maintains the closed state becomes hard due to slight dimensional errors caused by shrinkage during molding of the compact container body and lid. It was hot.

In addition, the present applicant has proposed a cosmetic compact in order to eliminate the above-mentioned inconvenience (Utility Model Publication No.
No. 54310). As for the structure of the engaging part of this compact, a recess for installing an elastic pin is provided at the front edge of the body, and the elastic pin is exposed in the recess for elastically deformable and installed horizontally. , an engaging protrusion protruding from the front edge of the lid engages with the elastic pin. Although this compact is an excellent product that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, since the engaging portion is located at the front edge, force is required to open the lid, and there is some room for improvement in this respect.

The present invention was proposed in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it not only facilitates opening and closing operations, but also
The object of the present invention is to provide a compact container whose lid can be easily opened with a small force.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the cosmetic compact container of the present invention includes a compact container main body 1 with an opening on the top,
This is a compact cosmetic container in which a lid body 3 for opening and closing the top surface of the container body is pivotally attached at each rear edge, and the lid body is cut at the rear side of the container body peripheral wall 2 or the side rear side of the lid body peripheral wall 4. A notch 5 is bored, and a fitting plate 6 is fitted into the notch by closing the lid.
A piano wire 8 is made to protrude from the lid body or the container body, and a groove 7 is provided horizontally on either the inner or outer surface of the fitting plate, and a piano wire 8 is inserted into and removed from the groove each time the lid body is opened or closed.
is placed horizontally in the notch, and a finger rest for opening the lid is provided at the front end of the container.

"Operation" When the cover plate 3 is rotated in the closing direction from the open state shown in FIG. 4, the fitting plate 6 eventually fits into the notch 5 and engages with the piano wire 8.

Thereafter, as the fitting plate 6 is pushed down, the piano wire 8 is elastically deformed outward and rides on the fitting plate 6, and when the fitting plate is completely closed, it fits into the groove 7 of the fitting plate.

As a result, rotation of the lid 3 in the opening direction is restricted, and the closed state is maintained.

Furthermore, when the lid body 3 is pushed up, the piano wire 8 is elastically deformed as described above and detached from the groove of the fitting plate.
Although the lid body can be opened, the concave groove 7 of each fitting plate 6
Since the engagement with the piano wire 8 is performed at the rear side of the container, the lid body 3 is inserted into the finger hook groove 1 at the front end of the container.
If you put your finger on 4 and open it, you can easily open the lid with a small amount of force.

"Example" The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is the same as that described in "Means for Solving the Problem", and to avoid duplication, the description of the previously described part will be omitted. I will omit this and only add explanations to those not mentioned above.

The container body 1 is formed to have a rectangular cross section, and cutouts 5, 5 are formed in the rear portions of both sides thereof. The piano wire 8 installed horizontally in the notches 5 and 5 is stretched along the three peripheral wall surfaces excluding the rear surface of the container body 1, and its both ends are at the rear of both sides of the container body. are fitted into each. 9 in the figure is a guide groove into which the piano wire is fitted. Further, two piano wires may be partially stretched over the notches 5, 5.

Two recesses are defined on the upper surface of the compact container main body 1, one of which stores a solid cosmetic 11 via a saucer 10, and the other recess stores a disposable sponge 12.

In addition, 13 in the figure is a mirror attached to the back surface of the lid body 3,
14 is a finger groove for pushing up the lid.

"Effects of the invention" As explained above, according to the invention, the lid body is effectively held in a closed state relative to the compact container body using piano wire, which is a strong spring steel with a high elastic limit. Because it is structured as follows, there is no need to be affected by shrinkage during molding as in conventional examples.
The effect of smoother opening/closing operations is achieved by improving the ease of assembly. In addition, since the groove of each fitting plate and the piano wire are engaged at the rear side of the container,
Open the lid by pushing up the finger hook at the front end.
This has the effect of allowing the lid to be opened easily with a small amount of force.
