Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This case concerns compact containers for cosmetics.

``Prior Art'' A conventional compact container for cosmetics has a compact container main body, an inner plate and a lid fitted into the container main body, and at least the rear edges of the container main body and the lid are pivoted. There is known a structure in which the front edge is provided with engaging means on each front edge, and these engaging means are removably engaged. The engagement means can be attached and detached by pushing down the front part of the lid against the front part of the container body, and by pushing open the finger hook provided at the front part in the opposite direction. This allows the engagement to be released.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' The above-mentioned compact containers are generally molded from synthetic resin, but synthetic resin products contract during molding and are prone to dimensional errors, making it difficult to achieve the above-mentioned engagement appropriately. If the engagement was too tight, it was difficult to engage and disengage using the finger hook.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and makes the push button wedge-shaped so that the above-mentioned engagement and disengagement can be easily performed by its boosting mechanism.The push button is also provided in the front part of the inner plate, making it easy to form. The structure of the compact container is simplified so that it can be manufactured at low cost.

"Means for Solving the Problem" Comprising a compact container main body 2, an inner plate 11 fitted into the compact container main body, and a lid 22, at least the respective rear edges of the compact container main body and the lid. In a compact container which is pivotally mounted and has engaging means provided on each front edge and these engaging means are removably engaged, the engaging means is a first container which stands up from the front part of the compact container main body. A first protrusion 8 attached to the front edge of the upper end of the first hook-shaped piece 7 and a second protrusion 28 attached to the rear edge of the lower end of the second hook-shaped piece 29 suspended from the front part of the lid body. A recess 17 with a front opening is formed in the front part of the inner plate, and an elastic piece 1 is formed to protrude from both left and right sides of the recess toward the middle of the recess.
A push button 19 is attached between the tips of 8 and 18, the engaging portions of the first and second hook-like pieces are positioned between the push button and the rear wall surface of the recess, and the push button is attached to the rear upper edge of the push button. A sloped surface 20 is provided which, when pressed, presses against the lower end of the second hook-like piece to push the lower end upward and release the engagement, and furthermore, the front part of the push button is
The push button 19 is made to protrude to the front of the compact container so that it can be pushed into the compact container, and the push button 19 is slidably mounted on the front upper surface of the compact container main body.

"Operation" When the push button 19 placed on the front upper surface of the compact container main body is pushed backward from the state shown in FIG. 1, the elastic pieces 18, 18 shown in FIG. Then, the inclined surface 20 comes into pressure contact with the lower end of the second hook-like piece and pushes the lower end upward, and the first and second hook-like pieces
The first and second protrusions 8, 28 of the hook-like piece are removed.
When the push button is released, the push button returns together with the elastic piece, and when the front part of the lid body is pushed down in this state, the first and second protrusions 8 and 28 are engaged to maintain the closed state of the lid body.

"Embodiment" The compact container 1 has a compact container main body, an inner plate detachably fitted to the container main body, and a lid, and the container main body and the lid are pivotally connected at each rear edge. ing.

The container body 2 has a peripheral wall 4 standing up from the periphery of the bottom wall 3. A notch 5 is formed in the rear part of the peripheral wall to fit the bearing part of the lid, and a recess 6 is provided in the front part of the peripheral wall, and a first hook-shaped piece 7 is inserted from slightly behind the recess. The piece is made to stand upright, and a first protrusion 8 is attached to the front edge of the upper end of the piece. A suitable number of grooves 9 are provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall, and gap retainers 10 are provided on the rear inner surface of the peripheral wall.

The inner plate 11 has a peripheral wall 13 hanging from slightly inside the peripheral edge of the top wall 12, and is provided so as to fit into the peripheral wall of the container body. The outer surface of the peripheral wall is provided with the protrusion 14 for fitting into the groove, and the top wall is provided with a recess 15 for storing a makeup brush and a hole 16 for fitting into a cosmetic drum. A recess 17 with a front opening is formed in the front part of the inner plate, and a wedge-shaped push button 19 is provided between the tips of elastic pieces 18 and 18 that protrude from both the left and right sides of the recess.
is attached. The push button is slidably mounted on the front upper surface of the compact container main body, and an inclined surface 20, which will be described later, is formed on the rear upper edge. The top wall rear portion 21 is elastically deformable.

The lid body 22 has a peripheral wall 24 hanging from the periphery of the top wall 23, a bearing part 25 hanging from the rear part of the peripheral wall, the bearing part fitting into the notch 5, and a pin 27 connected to both end walls of the notch. It is pivoted. A second hook-like piece 29 with a second protrusion 28 attached to the rear edge of the lower end hangs from the front part of the lid, and when the lid is closed, the first protrusion 8
and the second protrusion 28 are engaged with each other. The engaging portion is located between the push button 19 and the rear wall surface 17a of the recess. When the push button 19 is pushed in, the lower end of the second hook-like piece 29 comes into pressure contact with the inclined surface 20 and is pushed up. The first and second protrusions are disengaged by lifting. The front part of the push button projects toward the front of the compact container when the lid is closed. A protruding piece 30 hangs down from the rear part of the top wall of the lid body, and the lower end of the protruding piece touches the rear part 21 of the top wall of the inner tray when the lid body is closed.
is pushed down against elasticity, and when the first and second protrusions 8, 28 are disengaged by pressing the push button as described above, the rear part 21 of the top wall elastically restores the protrusion. The piece 31 is pushed up, so that the front of the lid rises somewhat relative to the front of the container body.

``Effect of the invention'' Since the present invention has the above-described structure, it is convenient because the engagement between the container body and the lid can be disengaged by pressing the push button, and the push button is located in the recess provided in the front part of the inner tray. Since it is formed by attaching it between the tips of the elastic pieces protruding from both the left and right sides, it can be integrally molded with the inner plate, reducing costs.
0 to form a wedge shape on one side, and is slidably placed on the upper surface of the front part of the compact container body, and the lower end is pushed up by press-welding the inclined surface to the lower end of the first hook-shaped piece 7 by pressing the push button. Since the first and second protrusions are provided so that they can be disengaged, the engagement can be disengaged using the wedge's boosting mechanism, and therefore, the disengagement can be easily performed.
