Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a compact container for storing a cosmetic puff and a cosmetic material and for drying the cosmetic puff.

[Conventional technology]

Some types of cosmetics are applied using a cosmetic puff moistened with sufficient moisture. Therefore, the compact container has a separate part for separately storing the cosmetic puff and cosmetics, which are closely related to each other during use, and is made up of three parts that are assembled together with the lid via a hinge. It is structured as follows.

Incidentally, cosmetic puffs made of sponges or the like must be thoroughly dried after use from a hygienic standpoint. Therefore, if the cosmetic puff is simply squeezed after use, water will remain, so if the cosmetic puff is placed in the cosmetic puff storage area, drying will be insufficient.

In this regard, a configuration has also been considered in which ventilation holes are formed in the bottom wall of the cosmetic puff storage section to ventilate the interior.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, since the bottom wall part of the cosmetic puff storage part is the part where the cosmetic puff is placed, if a ventilation hole is made in this bottom wall part, the ventilation hole will be opened by the cosmetic puff placed on the bottom wall part. This caused the inconvenience that the stored cosmetic puffs could not be properly dried.

For this reason, there are some products with improved vent structures so that they do not become blocked even when a cosmetic puff is placed on them, and some products are also used that can achieve extremely good drying of cosmetic puffs. The disadvantage of this method is that the structure of the main body, which is the main part of the compact container, is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high.

In addition, if you use a cosmetic puff with ventilation holes in the bottom wall, if you do not squeeze the puff enough after use to reduce the amount of water trapped in it, the moisture remaining inside the puff will be absorbed by its own weight. Therefore, there is a problem in that water droplets flow down from inside the cosmetic puff, flow out of the compact container, and wet other items, so it is necessary to be careful when handling cosmetic puffs. was.

Furthermore, the large number of ventilation holes are visible as part of the appearance of the compact container, which is unsatisfactory for compact containers where appearance is important.

The present invention relates to a compact container devised to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and inconveniences, and is capable of reliably drying cosmetic puffs that are stored while still containing moisture, while also maintaining a good appearance. It is intended to become a thing.

[Means for solving problems]

The compact container of the present invention is composed of a lid body 1, an inner frame body 4, and a main body 12, whose rear ends are connected by a hinge.

When the compact container is closed, the middle frame 4
A cosmetic storage space 5 is formed between the lid body 1 and a cosmetic puff storage space 15 between the body 12 and the main body 12.

When the lid 1 and the middle frame 4 are in the closed state, a groove 8 opened laterally is formed between the lower end of the lid 1 and the upper end 7 of the middle frame 4. is formed, and a ventilation hole 9 is opened in the side end 7 of the inner frame 4 that forms the groove 8 and also forms the cosmetic puff storage space 15, and communicates the cosmetic puff storage space 15 with the outside. It is formed.

[Effect]

In the compact container configured as described above, the main body 12 for storing the cosmetic puff is closed by closing the inner frame 4, and the storage space 15 for the cosmetic puff is formed inside as described above. , middle frame body 4
Since a ventilation hole 9 is opened in the side end 7 of the cosmetic puff to communicate the storage space 15 with the outside, the moisture of the cosmetic puff is released from the ventilation hole 9 to the outside, thereby preventing the cosmetic puff from drying. This is what we achieve.

In this case, since the ventilation hole 9 is opened in the groove 8 opened on the side of the container, even if the cosmetic puff stored in the storage space 15 is not drained sufficiently, the water inside the cosmetic puff may Even if the water falls down in the form of water droplets due to its own weight, the water will not flow out of the compact container and will not wet surrounding items.

Furthermore, the ventilation holes 9 are not formed in the main body 12, which is the main part that forms the appearance of the compact container, but are formed in the middle frame 4, which acts as a functional part, so that the appearance of the compact container is It can be easily and favorably molded without deteriorating the material.

〔Example〕

In the illustrated embodiment, the main body 12 for storing the cosmetic puff has a side wall 14 erected around the periphery of the bottom wall 13, and the middle frame 4 has a peripheral wall plate on the periphery of the bottom wall 6. 11 is erected, and the side end portion 7 described above is extended and protruded from the side end of the bottom wall 6.

Furthermore, the lid body 1 has a structure in which a peripheral plate 3 is suspended from the periphery of the top plate 2, and the peripheral wall plate 1 of the middle frame body 4 is placed inside the peripheral plate 3.
1 is fitted, and this circumferential plate 3 is formed as the lower end of the lid 1 described above. Therefore, the groove 8 is formed with the upper surface of the side end 7, the outer surface of the lower part of the peripheral wall plate 11, and the lower end surface of the peripheral plate 3, and is opened to the side, and the ventilation hole 9 is formed at the side end. Since the portion 7 is perforated vertically, it is not easily noticeable from the outside.

The lower end of the periphery of the side end portion 7 comes into contact with the upper end of the side wall 14 of the main body 12 when assembled to the main body 12 and closed, and the main body 12 and the middle frame 4 create a storage space for a cosmetic puff. 15 will be formed.

Furthermore, although the ventilation hole 9 in the side end portion 7 is formed of a large number of small holes in the illustrated embodiment, it may be formed into an elongated shape as long as the strength is ensured.

In addition, in the lid body 1, the circumferential wall plate 11 of the middle frame body 4 is connected to the circumferential plate 3.
The cosmetic storage space 5 is formed in a recess surrounded by the bottom plate 6 and the peripheral wall plate 11, into which the drum 10 containing the cosmetic is fitted.

[Effect of idea]

Since the compact container of the present invention has the structure described above, the moisture of the cosmetic puff located in the storage space inside the main body is released from the ventilation hole to the outside side, thereby preventing the cosmetic puff from drying. This can be achieved reliably, the moisture from the cosmetic puff does not leak out or stain the surrounding area, the ventilation holes are in the grooves and are inconspicuous, and the appearance is good. Since the ventilation hole is not exposed, it is difficult for dust etc. to enter the puff storage space, making it sanitary. In addition, the grooves formed on the side of the container create a unique shape, and the ventilation holes are not touched during use, making them feel good to the touch.The body that houses the cosmetic puff does not require any special processing, and is easy to mold. It has many excellent functions and effects, such as a simple configuration.
