Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is applicable to small cases for storing contact lenses, cosmetics, accessories, etc.
In particular, the present invention relates to an accessory case equipped with a mirror for wearing contact lenses, makeup, etc.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Conventionally, accessory cases equipped with a mirror have a structure in which the mirror is simply provided, for example, on the back of the cover of the case or in the corner of the storage compartment, making it difficult to put on contact lenses or put on makeup in a dark place. When attempting to do so, it is difficult in practice because the area around the mirror of the accessory case may become dark.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to provide an accessory case with an illumination device that allows the user to easily wear contact lenses, apply makeup, etc. even in a dark place.

[Means and actions for solving problems]

According to the present invention, the above object includes a container capable of storing small items therein, and a cover rotatably attached to one end of the upper edge of the container so as to close the container, and an inner surface of the cover. a mirror is slidably disposed along the inner surface, and an illumination device is provided within the cover behind the mirror;
When the mirror is inside the cover, the light source of the lighting device is covered by the mirror, but when the mirror is slid to a position protruding from the inside of the cover, the light source is exposed to the outside. This is achieved by a small item case with a lighting device configured.

According to this invention, the light source of the lighting device is exposed by first opening the cover and sliding the mirror to a position where it protrudes from the inner surface of the cover.
Finally, when this light source is turned on, the illumination light will be emitted from a position adjacent to the mirror, so even in a dark place, the user will not be able to look into the mirror when putting on or taking off contact lenses, applying makeup, etc. However, since the illumination light from the light source illuminates the user's eyes and face, it is easy to wear contact lenses, apply makeup, etc.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be further explained based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of an accessory case with an illumination device in which the present invention is applied to a contact lens case.

The contact lens case 1 includes a storage section 2a that can store contact lenses therein, and a storage section 2 that can store storage solutions and cleaning solutions for contact lenses.
an upper open container 2 defined by a partition plate 2c, and a hinge 3 on one side of the upper edge of the container 2;
The cover 4 is pivotally attached to the cover 4 so that it can be opened and closed from the closed position shown in FIG. 1 to the opened position shown in FIG.

The cover 4 is provided with a mirror 5 on its inner surface.
This mirror 5 is moved along the inner surface of the cover 4 from the storage position shown in FIG. 2 to the position shown in FIG. It is configured to be slidable to the drawer position. Further, the sliding movement of the mirror 5 is restricted at the drawn-out position shown in FIG. 3 by appropriate means such as a locking pawl, thereby preventing the mirror 5 from falling off the cover 4.

The cover 4 has a built-in power supply section (not shown) for the lighting device, and at least the light source 6 of the lighting device.
is disposed on the back side of the mirror 5, and the light source 6 is exposed when the mirror 5 is slid to the drawn-out position. The light source 6 is, for example, a rod-shaped light source such as a cold cathode tube, and its power is supplied from a dry cell or the like provided inside the battery case cover 4b via a power supply device as is known in the art. This is done by a switch 4c exposed to the outside.

The embodiment of the accessory case with lighting device according to the present invention is constructed as described above, and when not in use,
As shown in Figure 1, it is portable like a conventional contact lens case, and when used,
First, the cover 4 is opened from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the state shown in FIG. When the surroundings are bright, it is possible to wear contact lenses in exactly the same manner as before while leaving the mirror 5 stationary in the retracted position, but when the surroundings are dark, the mirror 5 can be moved to the second position.
The light source 6 of the illumination device is exposed by sliding it from the storage position shown in the figure to the drawer position shown in FIG. 3, and the light source 6 is turned on by turning on the switch 4c. Since the user's eyes are illuminated by the illumination light emitted from the light source 6, contact lenses can be easily worn even in a dark place.

In the above explanation, the present invention has been described as an example in which the present invention is applied to a contact lens case, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to, for example, an accessory case for storing cosmetics or various accessories such as earrings and net dress. is obvious.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, a cover is rotatably attached to one end of the upper edge of a container in which small items can be stored, and a mirror is mounted on the inner surface of the cover from a storage position to a drawer position. A lighting device is provided in the cover on the back side of the mirror, and the light source of the lighting device is covered by the mirror when the mirror is in the retracted position, but the mirror is located inside the cover. The accessory case with lighting device is configured so that it is exposed to the outside when it is slid out of the box and into the drawer position.
When in use, first, with the cover open, slide the mirror to a position where it protrudes from the inner surface of the cover to expose the light source of the illumination device.Finally, turn on the light source, and the illumination light will come from a position adjacent to the mirror. It will be ejected.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even in a dark place,
For example, even when a user looks into a mirror to wear contact lenses or apply makeup, the illumination light from the light source illuminates the user's eyes and face, making it easier to wear contact lenses or apply makeup. It has practical effects.
