Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a compact container capable of storing cosmetics, etc., and particularly relates to a novel compact container with an improved opening/closing structure.

<Conventional technology> Compact containers commonly used in the past are
It has a structure in which hooks are provided at the openings of the body and the lid, respectively, and the openings are closed by engaging these hooks with each other.

In order to open the hook of a container with this kind of structure,
It was necessary to provide a protrusion in the opening or drill a recess for the finger. However, both when the former protrusion is provided and the latter when a recess is bored, the appearance is aesthetically unsightly and unsightly, and when opening, the fingernail may hit the protrusion or the recess. However, there were drawbacks such as damage to nails and peeling of nail polish.

Recently, techniques such as those disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-25616 or Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-153007, which were developed by the applicant, are also known.

The former is a technique in which a sliding member that can slide horizontally is attached to the opening of the container, and the sliding of this sliding member releases the hook between the body and the lid.

The latter is a technique in which a push-up member is attached to the lower surface of the body opening so that it can move up and down, and the push-up member pushes up the lid, thereby opening the hook.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> However, in both of the above-mentioned two known techniques, a sliding member or a push-up member is provided at the opening of the container, and these must be slidably incorporated, so the number of parts is reduced. increases, and the structure becomes more complex.
There was a problem that the assembly was complicated and the cost was high.

Additionally, this has led to problems such as the occurrence of defective products and increased costs.

The compact container according to the present invention relates to a completely new technology developed in view of these conventional problems.

<Means for solving the problem> The compact container according to the present invention is a technology that fundamentally improves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and its gist is that the body and lid are hinged so that they can be opened and closed freely. A compact container comprising a vertically penetrating through hole in the opening of the body, a hook protruding from the inner wall surface of the through hole, and a hook on the side wall surface of the lower surface of the opening of the lid. The hook leg is integrally provided vertically and has a length such that the lower end of the hook leg can protrude from the through hole when the hook leg is inserted into the through hole.

<Function> As described above, the container according to the present invention has a vertically penetrating through hole in the opening of the body, a hook protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the through hole, and the above-mentioned hook in the opening of the lid. Since the hook leg is long enough to protrude after being inserted into the through hole, when locking the opening, the body and the lid can be connected by inserting the hook leg through the through hole. The hooks can be interlocked to close the opening.

Further, when opening the opening, the lower end of the hook leg protruding downward from the through hole can be directly pushed up with a fingertip, thereby making it possible to open the opening extremely easily and reliably.

<Example> An embodiment of the compact container according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to figures. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the container in an open state, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the container in a closed state, FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sectional explanatory views showing a state in which the lid is opened.

To specifically explain one embodiment of the container according to the present invention with reference to the drawings, in Figs. It is constructed by hinged at 4. A through hole 5 is formed in the opening of the body 2 and extends vertically, and a hook 6 is protruded from the inner wall surface of the through hole 5.

Next, a hook leg 8 having a hook 7 on the side surface is hung from the opening of the lid 3. The hook leg 8 is configured to have a length such that the lower end portion of the hook leg 8 can slightly protrude from the through hole 8 when inserted into the through hole 5.

When using the container according to the present invention, especially the second
As shown in Figs.
By inserting the body 2 and the lid 3 into each other and engaging both hooks 6 and 7 with each other, the opening can be closed. In addition, when opening the lid 3, by pushing up the lower end of the hook leg 8 protruding from the through hole 5 with your fingertip, both hooks 6,
7 is released, thereby allowing the lid 3 to be opened.

<Effects of the invention> Since the container according to the invention has the structure and function as described above, the overall structure is extremely simple, and since there are no protrusions or recesses in the opening, the container has a beautiful appearance and good appearance. There is no problem such as damage due to fingernails hitting recesses or the like when opening the lid, or nail polish peeling off.

In addition, since the hook leg with a hook having a predetermined length is hung below the opening of the lid, there is no need to separately provide a slideable push-up member for pushing up the lid, which is required in the past. This greatly simplifies the process, thereby reducing the occurrence of assembly defects and failures.

Furthermore, since the hook leg itself can be opened by pushing up directly with the fingertips, the opening is easy and reliable.
