Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <<Industrial application>> The present invention has a lid which is pivotably opened and closed at the rear end of the container body which has a cosmetic storage recess and a puff storage recess in parallel. This is about a compact container.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a compact container in which the puff storage recess is breathable.

<<Prior Art>> As a conventional compact container of this type, one in which a large number of ventilation holes are bored in the bottom surface of a puff storage recess is known. In this well-known compact container, when a wet puff is stored in the puff storage recess, the puff gradually evaporates as the inside of the puff storage recess communicates with the outside air through the ventilation hole. It will be dried.

《Problems to be solved by the invention》 However, simply forming a small ventilation hole in the bottom of the puff storage recess only forms the entrance of the ventilation channel, but not the exit. Therefore, the outside air does not flow sufficiently into the puff storage recess through the small ventilation holes, so that it cannot be said that the air permeability is good.

Additionally, if a wet puff is stored in a puff storage recess, the puff will block the small ventilation holes drilled in the bottom of the recess from above, further reducing breathability. It was hot.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a compact container with good air permeability.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a lid body that can be opened and closed at the rear end of the container body, which has a cosmetic storage recess and a puff storage recess in parallel. In a compact container which is pivotally connected to the lid body, the lid body is designed such that when the lid body is closed, the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the lid body is separated from the upper surface of the peripheral edge of the container body, and a gap is formed between both peripheral edges. is screwed onto the container body, and is further provided with means for sealing the outer peripheral upper surface of the cosmetic storage recess when closed, while the puff storage recess is communicated with the outside through the above-mentioned cavity.

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

In the figures, reference numeral 1 indicates a rectangular container body elongated in the left-right direction, and a cosmetic storage recess 3 for storing cosmetics 2 is provided on the left side of the container body 1 in FIGS. Puff storage recesses 5 for storing puffs 4 are provided in parallel.
The upper surface of the outer periphery of this cosmetic storage recess 3 forms a protruding wall 6 that protrudes more than other parts. Further, a concave notch 7 is formed at the center of the front end of the container body 1, and a first engaging protrusion 8 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the notch 7.

The rear end edge of the container body 1 has concave notches at two places on the left and right, and a hinge piece 10-10 integrated with the lid body 9 is inserted here.
is inserted, and the lower end of this hinge piece 10-10 is pivotally connected to the container body 1 by a pin 11. The inner surface of the lid body 9 is a substantially flat surface, and a mirror 12 is bonded to the left side thereof at a position corresponding to the cosmetic storage recess 3. Further, a claw piece 13 hangs down from the center of the inner surface of the front end edge of the lid body 9, and a second engagement protrusion 14 is integrally formed inside the claw piece 13. Then, when this lid body 9 is closed, the claw piece 1
3 enters the concave cutout 7 of the container body 1, and the second engagement protrusion 14 formed on the claw piece 13 engages with the first engagement protrusion 8 formed on the inner surface of the cutout 7. The lid body 9 is closed.

In the present invention, a hinge structure is devised to pivotally connect the lid 9 to the container body 1 so that it can be opened and closed.
In this embodiment, each hinge piece 10 of the lid 9 is formed longer than the conventional one, and the lid 9 is pivotally connected to the container body 1 in the closed position of the lid 9 shown in FIG. The distance l from the pin 11 to the upper surface A of the circumferential edge of the container body 1 is smaller than the distance L from the pivot pin 11 to the lower surface B of the circumferential edge of the lid body 9. A gap 15 is formed between the upper surface A of the peripheral edge and the lower surface B of the peripheral edge of the lid body 9 . Therefore, as is clear from FIG. 3, when the lid body 9 is in the closed position, the inside of the puff storage recess 5 is communicated with the outside air through the cavity 15, while the cosmetic storage recess 3 is communicated with the outside air through the gap 15. The upper end of the protruding wall 6 comes into contact with the lower surface of the lid 9, so that it is sealed against the outside air.

In the present invention, when the lid 9 is closed, the lower surface B of the peripheral edge of the lid 9 is separated from the upper surface A of the peripheral edge of the container body 1, and the lid 9 is designed so that a gap 15 is formed between the two peripheral edges. 9 to the container body 1, and the hinge structure is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, a hinge piece may be formed to protrude upward from the rear end of the container body 1. A similar gap can be formed by pivoting the substantially horizontal rear end of the lid to the hinge piece.

In order to seal the top surface of the cosmetic storage recess 3 formed in the container body from the outside air when the lid is closed, a projecting wall 6 is formed on the outer circumferential upper surface of the cosmetic storage recess 3 in the above embodiment. However, on the contrary, the upper surface of the outer periphery of the cosmetic storage recess 3 is not provided with a protruding wall, but is leveled with the other peripheral edges, and when it is closed on the inner surface of the lid body, the cosmetic storage recess 3 An annular hanging wall or an annular packing material may be provided in close contact with the upper surface of the outer periphery.

<<Effects>> As described above, in the compact container according to the present invention, when the lid is closed, a gap 15 is formed between the lower surface B of the peripheral edge of the lid and the upper surface A of the peripheral edge of the container body, and this gap Since the part communicates with the puff storage recess, the outside air can freely flow through the upper part of the puff storage recess, and a part of it can flow through the inside of the puff storage recess, thereby reducing the ventilation inside the puff storage recess. This improves the properties of the puff and makes it possible to dry the wet puff quickly.
