Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention consists of an inner tray filled with cosmetics, a container body for fixedly storing the inner tray, and a container hinged to the rear end of the container body. The present invention relates to a cosmetic container suitable as a refill container, which includes a lid and an inner tray that can be taken out when necessary.

<Prior Art> A refill container is a container that simply stores a refillable inner tray filled with cosmetics, and the inner tray inside the refill container is usually removed from the container within a short period of time after purchase. It is installed in a pallet container or compact to replace a used inner tray.

In order to be able to easily take out the inner tray from inside the refill container, conventionally the inner tray was attached to the recess of the refill container using double-sided adhesive tape or the like, and a small through hole was punched in the bottom of the container. When removing the inner plate, a pin or the like is inserted into the hole from the outside of the container to push up the inner plate and peel off the adhesive tape.

《Problem that the invention aims to solve》 However, the conventional refill containers as mentioned above require tools such as hair pins to take out the inner tray, but young women these days do not use hair pins, so they do not use refill containers. After purchasing it, there was no tool to take it out and replace it with a used inner plate, which was inconvenient.

The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to easily take out the inner plate without the need for tools such as pins, and to simplify the structure and manufacture it at low cost. Our aim is to provide cosmetic containers that can be used for various purposes.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the cosmetic container according to the present invention includes an inner tray filled with cosmetics, a container body for fixedly storing the inner tray, and the container body. It consists of a lid hinged to the rear end, and the container body is made of synthetic resin with hinge characteristics, and the container body has a pair of L-shaped slits in side section extending from the upper edge to the bottom surface. The container piece formed in parallel and held by the slit has an outward bending hinge part extending in the direction perpendicular to the slit at the middle part of the bottom surface thereof, and an outward bending hinge part extending in the direction perpendicular to the slit at the inner end thereof. By bending the container piece along the outward bending hinge part and the inward bending hinge part, the inner plate can be pushed up from the bottom of the container body and taken out.

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

1 to 5 show a cosmetic container according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which a container body 1 and a lid body 2 are integrally made of synthetic resin such as polyethylene or polypropylene having hinge characteristics. is formed. The container body 1 is formed into a generally rectangular shape, and a recess 5 is formed in the center of the upper part to accommodate a refill inner tray 4 filled with a cosmetic 3. Further, a notch recess 6 is formed at the center of the front edge of the container body 1, and a first engagement protrusion 7 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the recess 6.

A slit 8-8 is formed in the rear wall of the container body 1 in the longitudinal direction from both sides so as to leave the center part, and the slit 8-8 extends along the bottom of the container body 1, and the slit 8-8 extends along the bottom of the container body 1 as a whole. The container body 1 is formed into a substantially L-shaped side cross section, and the portion of the container body 1 between the pair of slits 8-8 is a container piece portion 9. This container piece 9
An outward bending hinge portion 10 having a V-shaped side cross section and extending in a direction perpendicular to the slit 8-8 is formed at the middle portion of the inner bottom surface of the slit 8-8. Further, at the inner end of the container piece 9, there is formed an inverted hinge part 11 having an inverted V-shaped side cross section and extending in a direction perpendicular to the slit 8-8. These hinge parts 10 and 11 allow the container piece part 9 to be bent inward (upward) and outward (downward).

The rear end of this container piece 9 is connected to the lid 2 via a thin hinge piece 12, so that the lid 2 can be opened and closed with respect to the container 1. A claw piece 13 is integrally formed to hang down from the front edge of the lid body 2, and a second engagement protrusion 14 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the claw piece 13, so that when the lid body 2 is closed, a claw piece 13 is integrally formed. As the claw piece 13 enters the cutout recess 6 of the container body 1, the first engaging protrusion 7 formed on the inner surface of the recess 6 engages with the second engaging protrusion 14 formed on the inner surface of the claw piece 13. Lid body 2
will be locked.

Although not shown in the drawings, the inner refill tray 4 has a pressure-sensitive adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape attached to its outer bottom surface, so that it can be fixedly attached to the inner bottom surface of the recess 5 of the container body 1. ing.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cosmetic container according to this embodiment is sold with the inner refill tray 4 housed within the container body 1 and the lid body 2 closed. The purchaser of this cosmetic container puts his finger under the claw piece 13 of the lid body 2 and pushes it up, releases the lock on the lid body 2, opens the lid body 2 as shown in FIG. In this case, the user can apply makeup using the cosmetics in the inner tray 4 in this state. On the other hand, place the inner plate 4 into the container body 1.
To take it out, first remove the lid 2 from the state shown in Figure 4.
Forcibly press down. As a result, the lid 2 and the container piece 9 of the container 1 are integrally formed via the hinge piece 11, so that the rear end corner 2a of the lid 2 comes into contact with the rear outer wall of the container 1. , the container piece part 9 is bent outward along the outward folding hinge part 10, and then bent inward along the inward folding hinge part 11, so that the outward folding hinge part 10 rises, and the outer bottom surface of the inner tray 4 is bent. The adhesive between the container body 1 and the inner bottom surface of the container body 1 is peeled off, and the inner plate 4 is pushed upward. At this time, since the rear end surface of the inner plate 4 is exposed to the outside and protrudes upward, the inner plate 4 can be easily taken out from inside the container body 1. Then, the removed inner plate 4 is replaced with a used inner plate of a pallet container or compact and attached.

6 to 8 show a cosmetic container according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the method of fixing the inner tray 4 is different from that of the first embodiment. That is, in the case of the first embodiment, adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape is applied to the bottom of the inner tray 4, and this is attached to the recess 5 of the container body 1.
However, in the case of this second embodiment,
A concave portion 15 is formed in the inner circumferential wall of the container body 1, and a protrusion 16 formed in the outer circumferential wall of the inner plate 4 engages with this concave portion 15 by an undercut, whereby the inner plate 4 is attached to the container. It is designed to be fixedly stored in the body 1. In the case of this second embodiment as well, when the lid body 2 is pushed down from the state shown in FIG. 7 to the state shown in FIG. 8, the engagement by the undercut is released and the inner plate 4 can be taken out from the container body 1. You will be able to do this. Note that the other configurations and operations are the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 9 shows a cosmetic container according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a slit is not formed in the rear part of the container body 1, and the container body 1 and the lid body 2 are of a known type. They are integrally connected by a resin hinge. However, in this embodiment, the container body 1
A pair of slits 8a-8a are formed in parallel on the sides of the container 1, and the central part of the side of the container body 1 sandwiched between the slits 8a-8a becomes a container piece 9a. As in the first embodiment, an outward bending hinge part 10 and an inward bending hinge part 11 are formed. In the cosmetic container of the third embodiment, in order to take out the inner plate 4 fixed in the container body 1, push down the upper edge of the container piece 9a provided on the side of the container body 1 and push it downward. All you have to do is bend it and push up the side bottom of the inner plate 4 that is exposed to the outside. Note that the other configurations and operations are substantially the same as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 10 shows a cosmetic container according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, which is an improvement of the first embodiment, with a container piece 9 at the upper end of a pair of slits 8-8.
and the container body 1 are integrally connected to each other by a thin strip 15-15 that can be easily broken.
As a result, when the lid 2 is repeatedly opened and closed in order to use the cosmetics in the inner tray without immediately taking out the inner tray from the container body, the upper end of the container piece 9 connected to the hinge portion 11 of the lid Since the container piece 9 is connected to the container body 1, the container piece 9 does not bend when the lid 2 is opened and closed, and opening and closing are stable. On the other hand, when the container piece 9 is bent downward in order to take out the inner plate 4, the thin strips 15-15 are easily broken, so they do not serve as support when the inner plate is taken out. and again,
Since this thin strip 16-16 is always broken when the inner plate 4 is taken out, the fact that this narrow strip 15-15 is not broken means that the inner plate 4 is a new one that has not been replaced. This means that the so-called virgin function is displayed.
Note that the other configurations and effects are the same as in the first embodiment.

<<Effects>> As described above, in the cosmetic container according to the present invention, the inner plate can be taken out by bending the container piece between the pair of slits downward by the outward folding hinge part and the inward folding hinge part. Therefore, unlike conventional methods, tools such as pins are not required to take out the inner plate, making it extremely easy to take out the inner plate.

Further, the number of component parts of the container is not increased at all in order to take out the inner plate, and the structure can be simplified and molded at low cost.
