Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <<Industrial application>> The present invention relates to a compact container, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a compact container, and more specifically, a lid body is pivotally attached to the rear end of the container body for storing cosmetics, and This invention relates to a compact container in which when the lid is closed against the container body, projections formed on both sides engage with each other to lock the lid against the container body.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, in this type of compact container, a push piece is attached to the front edge of the container body so as to be slidable or rotatable in order to release the lock of the lid to the container body. It is becoming.

<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> However, in order to operate the pushpiece of this known compact container to unlock the lid, it is common practice to hold the container body above the palm of your hand and use your thumb and other hand to release the lid. It was necessary to hold the container main body with four fingers so as to sandwich it back and forth, place the thumb on the push piece, and push it in. Therefore, if the engagement between the lid and the container body is strong during this pushing operation, there is a problem in that after pushing the push piece, the finger may slip and the container may be dropped.

The present invention was developed in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to unlock the lid by pinching the front edge of the lid and the container body with your fingertips. To provide a compact container with excellent usability whose lid body can be freely opened in an open state.

《Means for solving the problem》 In order to achieve the above purpose, according to the present invention,
A lid is pivotally attached to the rear end of a container body for storing cosmetics so that it can be opened and closed freely, and when the lid is closed to the container body, projections formed on both sides engage with each other, so that the lid can be opened and closed. A compact container in which a bottomed recess is formed at the front end of the lid, and a knob is attached to the recess so as to be vertically movable; The bottom is cut out to form an opening, and the upper end surface of the container main body is exposed to the opening, and the bottom surface of the knob is in contact with the upper end surface at the locking position of the lid, while the bottom is closed. It is spaced apart from the upper surface of the recess.

<<Embodiments>> Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 indicates a container body, and a cosmetic storage recess 2 is formed in the upper part of the container body. Further, a notch 3 having a U-shape in plan is provided at the center of the front edge of the container body 1, and a recess 4 is formed between the notch 3 and the cosmetic storage recess 2. A first engagement protrusion 5 is integrally provided on the inner surface of 4. A lid 7 is pivotally attached to the rear end edge of the container body 1 by a pin 6 so as to be openable and closable.

A mirror 8 is glued to the inner surface of the lid 7, and the lid 7
As shown in FIG. 2, the central part of the front edge of is cut out to form a bottomed recess 9. That is, this bottomed recess 9
A bottom plate 10 is integrally formed on the front side of the lid body 7 and projects downward from the other lower surface of the lid body 7.
The lower surface of the container body 1 is inclined upwardly toward the front, and the rear end side thereof is inclined to be continuous with the outer bottom surface of the container body 1. Approximately one-third of the rear side of the bottomed recess 9 is cut out, including both side walls and the lower end of the back wall, and an opening 11 is provided here. A claw piece 12 hangs down from the lower surface of the lid 7 on the rear side of the opening 11, and a second engagement protrusion 13 is disposed inside the claw piece 12.
is provided, and when the lid body 7 is closed, this claw piece 12 enters into the recessed part 4 of the container body 1, and the second engagement protrusion 13 of the claw piece 12 engages with the first engagement part in the recessed part 4. The lid body 7 is locked by engaging with the protrusion 5. In the locking position of the lid 7, the upper end surface 1a between the recess 4 and the notch 3 of the container body 1 is formed so as to partially enter the opening 11 of the lid 7.

This bottomed recess 9 houses a knob 14 whose front upper surface is inclined downwardly toward the front, and longitudinal grooves 15-15 are formed on both side walls of the knob 14. Corresponding to this groove 15-15, oval-shaped protrusions 16-16 which are considerably shorter than the length of the groove 15 are provided on both inner side walls of the bottomed recess 9.
The concave groove 15-15 of the knob piece 14 is connected to the oval-shaped protrusion 16-
By forcibly fitting into the knob 1
4 is mounted in the bottomed recess 9 so as to be vertically movable.

When the lid 7 is closed with the knob 14 assembled into the bottomed recess 9, the rear bottom surface of the knob 14 is attached to the container body, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4. 1, and the front bottom surface thereof is in contact with the upper end surface 1a of the bottom plate 1 of the bottomed recess 9.
It is in a state separated from 0.

To unlock the lid 7 from the locked state as shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. Place the index finger of the same hand on the top of the
When you apply pressure with both fingers, the knob 14
is prevented from descending by the upper end surface of the container body 1, so the bottom plate 10, that is, the lid body 7 integrated with the bottom plate 10
is raised, and the engagement of the engagement protrusions 5 and 13 on both the lid 7 and the container body 1 is released. After this engagement is released, the top surface of the bottom plate 10 and the bottom surface of the knob piece 14 come into contact with each other, and the lid body 7 can be freely opened to a desired angle while holding both of them. Therefore, by placing the compact container of the present invention on the left palm,
By performing the above operation using the thumb and index finger of the right hand, the lid body can be opened extremely stably and easily.

<<Effects>> As described above, in the compact container of the present invention, by placing the compact container in one palm and pinching the front edge of the compact container with the thumb and index finger of the other hand, the lid body and the container can be separated. You can unlock the lid from the main body and open it at the desired angle while still holding it, so there is no need to worry about the compact container falling from your palm, making it an extremely easy-to-use compact. It can be a container.
