Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a compact cosmetic container in which a container body and a lid are pivotally connected to each other by a pin that is not visible from the outside.

<Prior art> Conventionally, in this type of compact container, both end faces of the pin hole that pivotally connects the container body and lid are exposed, which is unpopular with women who prefer delicate beauty. It had the disadvantage that it would fall off and the hinge would come off.

In order to eliminate this drawback, attempts to improve the pin and its pivoting accuracy require poor molding, molding, and assembly work, resulting in high costs.

Therefore, a compact cosmetic container was devised in which the pivot pin was not exposed to the outside.For example, Utility Model Publication No. 52-14158,
The invention shown in No. 60-25937 and Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-178909 has a structure in which the pin pivot end surfaces of the container body and lid are covered with a cover cap that hides the circumferential side of the container body or the circumferential side and bottom surface. Ta.

In the above-described conventional configuration, it is necessary to improve the appearance of the cover cap exposed to the outside, and sufficient consideration must be given to the material, design, installation, etc.

As a structure that does not require a cover cap or other exterior members like those of the above-mentioned inventions,
No. 76900 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-70208 are disclosed, but these have pins protruding from both end surfaces of the hinge part of the container body or lid, and the former utilizes the elasticity of the pins to attach the corresponding container body. The pin fits into the hole in the hinge mounting recess, and the latter has a special structure between the pin and the pin holding part of the inner plate, which allows the lid to open automatically. It hides the mounting recess.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> The problem to be solved by the invention is that even if the compact container has a structure that does not require any member or means to hide the pin that connects the container body and the lid, the pin is elastic. It has the disadvantage that it does not stop at a desired opening angle, and it has a complicated structure for automatic opening, and does not provide a structure that expands the range of use as a cosmetic container or reduces manufacturing costs. be.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In the compact cosmetic container of the present invention, the central part of the rear wall of the container main body, which lacks both side walls, is bent inward to provide a recess into which the hinge part of the lid fits. , the hinge portion having a pin insertion hole for pivotal connection to the container body is fitted into the recess and pivotally connected by a pin passing through each of the opposing side walls of the recess from within the container body; The containers are connected to each other, and the inner tray is fitted into the container body from the open surfaces on both sides via the side walls.

<Function> A hole passing through the pin connecting the container body and the lid is bored in the side wall of a recess formed by bending the rear end wall of the container body forward, and the outside of the side wall is a hole for storing an inner plate. Since the upper and outer surfaces are open spaces, the pin can easily pass through the side wall from the space, and an inner tray filled with cosmetics is fitted into the space from the outer surface to cover the pin hole.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the illustrated example.

In the exploded perspective view of FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes the container body, which is molded from synthetic resin and has a concave shape in plan, with the center of the rear end bent in a U-shape to form a storage recess 2, and the rear end of the lid 3. The hinge portion 3' is fitted.

The side walls 2', 2' of the storage recess 2 and the hinge part 3' of the lid 3 are provided with holes 2'' into which connecting pins 4 are inserted, respectively.
2″ and 3″ are drilled.

1' and 1' are partition walls, and the other side walls are omitted. 1
A and 1c are spaces for storing the inner plates 5, 5a, 5b, and 5c, and 1b is a space for storing makeup tools 6 such as brushes and brushes.

7 is an engagement recess with an engagement protrusion 7' protruding from the inner end wall;
The front end engaging protrusion 11 and the engaging protrusion 11' of the lid 3 are designed to fit and engage with each other.

The inner trays 5 are each filled with cosmetics 8 of different colors or types.

The hinge portion 3' of the lid 3 is fitted into the storage recess 2 of the container body 1, and the pins 4 are inserted into the holes 3'' of the hinge portion from outside the holes 2'', 2'' in both side walls, that is, from within the cavities 1a, 1c, respectively.
When inserted into the container, the lid 3 is pivotally connected to the container body so as to be openable and closable.

After inserting each pin 4, each inner plate 5, 5a, 5
b, 5c are housed and fitted into the spaces 1a, 1c to constitute the compact cosmetic container of the present invention.

The main point of the present invention is that the container body is formed into a frame shape with both sides open, and the inner plate is slidably fitted from the outside of the open portion.

Guide protrusions 9a and sliding grooves 10 are provided on the corresponding sliding side walls of the cavities 1a and 1c and the inner plates 5a and 5b, and also recesses (not shown) and protrusions are provided on the bottom surface for forced sliding and fitting. A portion 9b is provided.

Therefore, the hinge portion 3' of the lid is pivotally connected by the pins 4, 4, and when each inner plate is slidably fitted, the guide protrusion 9a respectively
The sliding grooves 10 fit into each other, and each inner plate is fixed in each cavity by passing over the convex portion 9b and covering the end face of the pin 4, and the inner plate outer wall 5' forms a side wall of the container body. The inner plate is removable, and the cosmetics 8 can be replenished or replaced.

The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the illustrated example, but the convex portion is formed by fitting an inner plate into a space formed by fitting a bottom frame with a cross-section shape from the bottom into a container body with open sides. A configuration may be adopted in which no guide ridges, guide ridges, or sliding grooves are required.

In addition to the rectangular shape shown in the figure, the outer shape of the container body and lid may be
As long as the storage recess 2 can have the required dimensions, it can be made into any desired shape for design and decorative effect, such as an oval, an oval, a rectangle, etc. The engagement between the container body and the lid is not limited to the structure shown in the drawings, and the inner plate is not limited to the complexity and may be single. In the embodiment, the inner plate storage space is narrow, making it difficult to insert the pin. It is suitable for such cases.

<Effects of the invention> The compact cosmetic container of the present invention having the above-described structure and operation is as follows: (1) A recess into which the hinge part of the lid is fitted is provided in the main body of the container, the hinge part is fitted, and the inside is sealed. Since the pin is inserted from the empty container body into the hole in the hinge part in the recess,
Similar to the configuration in which the hinge portion protrudes outward from the main body, insertion of the pin is easy.

(2) The means for inserting the pin is inserted from within the container body as described above, and after the pin is inserted, the inner plate is fitted into the cavity in the container body, so the end surface of the pin is not exposed outside the container.

(3) Also, the pin does not fall out inadvertently because it is held in place by the concave and convex mating inner plate.

(4) Since the pin and the hole for inserting it are not exposed, there is no need to finish the pin end face or the periphery of the hole.

(5) The pins can be hidden and suppressed simply by fitting the inner plate into the container body without side walls, and there is no need to create and attach a cover cap that requires exterior finishing. The amount of material required for the missing sidewall can be reduced.

(6) The inner plate can be easily fitted from the outside of the container main body, and compared to fitting from above, the sides of the inner plate can be held securely with fingers, and there is no risk of damaging the top surface of the cosmetic.
