Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a reversible container in which at least a portion of the main body for storing contents is removable and replaceable, and the lid is opened and closed by rotating inverted relative to the main body.

The part of a container, such as a cosmetic compact, in which the contents are stored without having to replace the entire container with a new or separate one when the contents have been consumed or when it is desired to carry different contents. There are some that only need to be replaced. Such a replaceable container has a main body composed of an outer wall body and an inner wall body for storing contents that is removably fitted into the outer wall body, and both are formed with male and female threads and are screwed together. or bonded by adhesive. However, in the screw connection method, the main body must be circular, and if it is non-circular, a circular thread must be provided, so it is not only applicable to very limited containers, but also makes it difficult to position the inner wall. On the other hand, the method of bonding with adhesive can be applied regardless of the shape of the main body, but the curing time and appropriate amount used vary depending on the type of adhesive, so it is difficult to manage when assembling and manufacturing at the factory. In addition, if the adhesive is firmly bonded, it is extremely difficult or impossible to remove it, and if the adhesive strength is insufficient, there is a risk that the inner wall may peel off from the outer wall due to impact or the like.

The purpose of this proposal is to provide a container that has a shape that is convenient for carrying and whose inner wall is easy to remove and replace. , a lid having a top wall covering the upper surface of the main body is rotatably coupled to each other, the main body is composed of an outer wall and an inner wall having at least one recess, and the inner wall is inserted into the recess of the outer wall. It is constructed by inserting and fitting through openings on two sides.

Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 to 7 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which recesses 2a, 2b, and 2c are provided in the upper surface of a flat rectangular main body 1 to store contents, and are parallel to each other. A groove 3 extending in the front-rear direction is provided at the distal end of the left and right side surfaces 1b, a locking protrusion 4 is provided at the base end, and a handle 5 is formed at the base end of the main body 1. The lid 6 has a top wall portion 6a and a side wall portion 6b that cover the upper surface 1a and side surface 1b of the main body 1, and is formed into an end face shape, and is fitted almost tightly into the groove 3 on the inner surface of the side wall portion 6b. A short cylindrical support shaft 7 is formed to protrude. Main body 1
The two recesses 2a and 2b lined up in front and behind store solid cosmetics, etc., and the elongated recess 2c on the side
is for storing bar-shaped cosmetics, applicators, etc., and a mirror 8 is installed on the back side of the top wall of the lid 6.

The main body 1 consists of an outer wall 9 having a third recess 2c and an inner wall 10 having a rectangular plane and having first and second recesses 2a and 2b.The outer wall 9 has a distal end surface 1c on the side of the recess 2c. A recess 12 having an opening 11 and open to the upper surface 1a is provided, and guide ridges 13 extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the left and right inner wall surfaces of the recess 12 that are parallel to each other. A guide groove 14 extending in the front-back direction is formed on the left and right side wall surfaces of the inner wall body 10, and a locking notch 13a and a protrusion 14a are formed near the tips of the guide protrusion 13 and the guide groove 14.

2, 3, and 4 show the lid 6 of the container of this embodiment, which is constructed by combining the aforementioned main body 1 and the lid 6, in a closed state, and the top surface 1a and side surface 1b of the main body 1 are covered. The base end surface of the lid 6 is almost in contact with the handle 5, the support shaft 7 is fitted into the end of the groove 3, the locking protrusion 4 is in pressure contact with the side wall 6b, and the guide protrusion 1
3 is fitted with a guide groove 14, and a projection 14a is engaged with a notch 13a, so that the inner wall body 10 is fitted and fixed in the recess 12.

When opening the lid 6, move either or both of the main body 1 and the lid 6 in the front-back direction to disengage the locking protrusion 4 and the side wall 6b, and move the support shaft 7 to the tip of the groove 3 (Fig. 5). ), then turn the lid 6 around the support shaft 7.
The upper surface 1a of the main body 1 is completely exposed by rotating the main body 1 by 90 degrees to 180 degrees (Fig. 6).

When removing the inner wall 10, use the notch 15 at the bottom of the recess 12 to grasp the top and bottom surfaces of the tip of the inner wall 10 with your fingertips and pull it out.On the other hand, when fitting the inner wall 10, use the notch 15 at the bottom of the recess 12 to pull it out. All you have to do is align it with the guide groove 14 and push it in (see Figure 7).

In the above embodiment, the inner wall body having the third recess 2c is formed in the same manner as the inner wall body 10 so that each can be removed and replaced separately, or the three recesses 2a, 2b, 2c are provided in one inner wall body. The entire device may be removed and replaced at once.

FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which two depressions 22a, 22 are arranged in front and behind, similar to the first embodiment.
A rectangular planar inner wall 30 having a shape b is formed into an elongated recess 2.
A lid 26 is fitted into the recess 32 of the outer wall body 29 having a diameter 2c to form the main body 21, and a lid 26 is provided at the ends of the distal end surface 21c and the proximal end surface 21d which are parallel to each other.
are rotatably connected by a support shaft 27, and the lid 26 has a top wall portion 26a that covers the upper surface 21a of the main body 21, a distal end surface 21c, a proximal end surface 21d, and a side wall portion that slightly overlaps one side surface 21b. 26b, a mirror 28 is provided on the back surface of the top wall portion 26a, and the lid 26 is closed by the locking protrusion 24 provided near the upper surface of the center portion of the side wall portion 21b coming into pressure contact with the side wall portion 26b. fixed in the state. The recess 32 is open to the upper surface 21a, the distal end surface 21c, and the proximal end surface 21d, and a guide groove 34 extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the left and right inner wall surfaces that are parallel to each other. A stop wall 37 is provided. The inner wall body 30 has guide protrusions 33 on the left and right side wall surfaces.
The guide protrusion 13 fits into the guide groove 34, and the inner wall body 30 is fitted and fixed in the recess 32 by engagement with the same notch protrusion as in the previous embodiment.

The lid 26 is opened and closed by rotating around the support shaft 27, and by pushing the proximal end surface of the inner wall 30 with a fingertip or the like through the opening 36 between the stop walls 37, the inner wall 30 can be opened and closed. is removed from the opening 31 of.

As described above, the present invention is a container in which a main body and a lid covering the top surface of the container are rotatably connected to each other, and the main body is made up of a double container consisting of an outer wall body and an inner wall body having at least one recess for storing the contents. The inner wall is inserted into the recess of the outer wall through an opening on one side and fitted, so it can be carried like a rectangle without being significantly restricted as in the conventional screw connection method. Not only can it be widely applied to containers of convenient shapes, but since no adhesive is used, the inner wall can be easily assembled, removed, and replaced. In particular, according to the present invention, since the inner wall body can be pulled out and put in and out of the recess in the outer wall body through the side opening, not only is the replacement operation extremely simple, but it is also possible to replace only a part of the contents. This has the excellent effect that all the contents can be replaced at once or individually.
