Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a compact in which an inner container filled with cosmetics can be detachably housed in an outer container.

[Conventional technology]

Among cosmetic compacts, some of which are luxurious, the inner container filled with cosmetics is stored in the outer container (compact body), and when the cosmetics in this inner container are used up, it is stored in the container. The so-called refill type, which can be replaced with the inner container used, has become mainstream. In such compacts, the inner container is attached by drilling a small diameter through hole leading to the outside in the bottom of the box-shaped housing part of the compact body, and press-fitting the inner container into the box-shaped housing part. After the cosmetic has been used up, it can be removed by inserting a thin rod or the like from the outside of the through-hole toward the inside and pushing the inner container upward.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the above-mentioned compact, high precision is required in the dimensions of the box-shaped accommodating part and the inner container, and if the box-shaped accommodating part is too small, the inner container cannot be fitted, and conversely, if the box-shaped accommodating part is too large, the inner container will not fit. It has the problem that it easily comes off. Another problem is that a tool such as a rod is required to remove the used inner container, making it difficult to use. For this reason, the system disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 62-33707 is a compact device that allows the inner container to be reliably engaged with the box-shaped accommodating portion and does not require tools such as a rod when removing the inner container. is proposed. This compact includes a container main body with an open top surface, a lid body with a bearing part hanging from the rear end and hinged to a notch recess on the outer surface of the rear wall of the container main body, a cosmetics filling tray that is removably housed in the main body, and a first container is provided on the outer surface of both left and right walls of the cosmetics filling tray.
In addition to horizontally disposing an engaging protrusion, a second engaging protrusion capable of engaging with the upper surface of the first engaging protrusion is horizontally disposed on the inner surface of the left and right side walls of the container body. . When storing the cosmetics filling tray in the container body, first, the cosmetics filling tray is loosely fitted into the container body, and then the cosmetics filling tray is slid backward by a predetermined stroke, and the first and the Engaging the second engagement protrusion is performed. Further, when taking out the cosmetics filling tray from the container main body, the cosmetics filling tray in the accommodated state is slid forward to disengage the first and second engaging protrusions, thereby, After the cosmetic filling tray is loosely fitted into the container body, the cosmetic filling tray is lifted upward.

However, in this compact, a notch for arranging the bearing is formed on the outer surface of the rear wall of the container body, so the front-to-back width of the rear wall of the container body is longer than the front-to-back width of the bearing. Therefore, the front-to-back width of the rear wall portion of the container body becomes longer, and the overall length of the container body increases accordingly. Moreover,
The interior of the container body must be large enough to allow the cosmetics filling tray to fit loosely (slide by a predetermined stroke) when the cosmetics filling tray is attached or removed. The front and back width of the container increases, and the total length of the container body increases accordingly. As described above, this compact has the problem that the overall length of the container body becomes long, making the compact larger. Furthermore, when storing the cosmetics filling tray, the cosmetics filling tray loosely fitted into the container body is slid backward, and when removing the cosmetics filling tray, the cosmetics filling tray that has been slid forward is lifted. It also has the problem of being difficult to operate.

This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to reliably engage the inner container with the outer container, and
The purpose is to provide a compact device that is easy to attach and detach, is convenient to use, and can be downsized.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the compact of this invention has a box-shaped storage part with an open top surface, and a connecting part protruding from the rear end, which is hinged to the rear end of the storage part. A compact device that removably accommodates an inner container for filling cosmetics in an outer container consisting of a lid and a lid body, wherein one of the left and right side surfaces of the storage section is opened, and the rear surface of the storage section is opened.

It is positioned in a position corresponding to the guide protrusion 15 in the housing portion 11 of the outer container 10, and has a length c that is approximately the same as the length c' of the guide protrusion 15.
is set to . Then, with the inner container 22 accommodated in the accommodation section 11 and positioned at the proper position, the upper surface of the L-shaped horizontal side of the slide protrusion 26 engages with the lower surface of the guide protrusion 15 of the accommodation section 11, The inner container 22 is designed not to detach upwardly from the housing portion 11. Reference numeral 27 denotes two elastic engagement protrusions (one of which is hidden and cannot be seen) that protrudes point-symmetrically from the outer circumferential surface of the recess 22a of the inner container 22, and is a guide protrusion in the accommodating portion 11 of the outer container 10. 15 and the slide protrusion 26 of the inner container 22 are in an engaged state, they are elastically engaged with the engagement protrusion 17 of the accommodating part 11 to prevent the inner container 22 from moving laterally with respect to the accommodating part 11 and coming off. It's getting old.

In this configuration, the inner container 22 is attached to the outer container 10 by positioning the inner container 22 above the accommodating part 11 of the outer container 10, and moving the slide protrusion 26 of the inner container 22 to the guide protrusion in the accommodating part 11. 15
and the gap D between the mounting recess 13 (see FIG. 1) and the gap D' between the guide protrusion 15 and the open right side surface of the accommodating part 11. Then, in this state, the inner container 22 is lowered, and as shown in FIG.

The elastic engagement protrusions 27 of the inner container 22 are elastically engaged with each other to bring the inner container 22 into a properly housed state as shown in FIG. In this state, upward detachment of the inner container 22 is prevented by the engagement between the guide protrusion 15 and the slide protrusion 26, and disengagement from the lateral direction is prevented by the engagement protrusion 17.
This is prevented by the engagement between and 27, and a reliable engagement is achieved.

When the compact is not in use, the engaging protrusion 20 of the lid 12 is engaged with the engaging part 18 of the accommodating part 11 to close the upper surface of the accommodating part 11 with the lid 12. Further, when in use, the above-mentioned engagement is released, the lid body 12 is opened, and the cosmetic 24 inside is used. When the cosmetic 24 is used up, the upper surface of the inner container 22 is pressed to the right with the lid 12 opened as shown in FIG. 3 to bring it into the state shown in FIG. 2. At this time, the elastic engagement protrusion 27 is elastically deformed again and passes over the engagement protrusion 17. Next, storage section 1
The side part 28 of the inner container 22 protruding from the right side part of the opening of the inner container 1 is lifted upward and taken out, and a new inner container 22 filled with cosmetics is attached to the storage part 11 in the same manner as described above.

In this way, in this compact, the outer container 10
The vertical movement of the inner container 22 can be prevented by the engagement between the guide protrusion 15 of the accommodating part 11 and the slide protrusion 26 of the inner container 22, and the engaging protrusion 17 of the accommodating part 11 and the inner container 22 can be prevented from moving in the vertical direction. Since horizontal movement of the inner container 22 can be prevented by engagement with the elastic engagement projections 27 of 22, the inner container 22 can be reliably engaged with the accommodating portion 22. Further, when the inner container 22 is attached to and removed from the storage portion 11, the distance by which the inner container 22 is slid is short, so that it is easy to use. Moreover, a mounting recess 13 is formed in the rear surface 14 of the accommodating part 11 so as to protrude inwardly, and a connecting part 1 of the lid body 12 is formed in the mounting recess 13.
9, the lid body 12
In order to attach the connecting portion 19 to the outer container 10, the total length of the depth c of the recess 13 and the depth (front-to-back width) of the rear surface portion 14 must be longer than the front-to-back width of the connecting portion 19. Therefore, the depth of the rear surface portion 14 can be shortened by the depth of the recessed portion 13, and the front-to-back width of the accommodating portion 11 can be shortened, and the weight can be reduced. Furthermore, while opening the right side surface of the storage portion 11, on the right side edge of the inner container 22,
Since the side surface portion 28 is formed to close the open right side surface portion of the storage portion 11 during storage, the end surfaces of both the front and rear side surfaces 14 and 16 of the storage portion 11 are closed to the inner container 2 during storage.
It can be made to match the side part 28 of No. 2. Therefore, unlike the conventional example, there is no need to make the inside of the container body wide enough to allow the cosmetic filling tray to fit loosely (slide by a predetermined stroke). Compared to this, the horizontal width of the accommodating portion 11 can be made shorter, and the outer container 10 can be made shorter.
The horizontal width of can be shortened. in this way,
In the above embodiment, the front and rear widths and the left and right widths of the compact can be shortened, and the compact can be made smaller and lighter. Furthermore, even if the compact is subjected to vibrations, shocks, etc. while tilted downward to the right, and as a result, the guide protrusion 15 of the housing section 11 and the slide protrusion 26 of the inner container 22 disengage, The sliding movement of the inner container 22 in the right direction is prevented by the mounting recess 13 because the left end surface of the notch 25 of the inner container 22 comes into contact with the left end surface of the mounting recess 13 of the accommodating section 11. 22 will not fall out from the housing part 11. Moreover, when the inner container 22 is stored in the storage portion 11, the operation of sliding the inner container 22 lowered into the storage portion 11 to the left is performed by the inner container 22.
This can be easily done by simply pushing the side surface 28 of the inner container 22 to the left with your fingers.Furthermore, when removing the inner container 22, the operation of lifting the inner container 22 that has been slid to the right is done by pressing the side surface 28 of the storage section 11. The side surface 28 of the inner container 22 protrudes outward from the open right side surface of the inner container 22.
The inner container 22 can be easily attached and detached by simply lifting it with fingers or the like.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the compact of this invention, when the inner container is housed in the housing part of the outer container, the slide protrusion of the inner container engages with the lower surface of the guide protrusion of the housing part. This engagement prevents the inner container from moving in the vertical direction, and since the engaged portion of the accommodating portion and the elastic engagement portion of the inner container are engaged, this engagement prevents the inner container from moving in the horizontal direction. are prevented from moving. Therefore, the inner container is reliably engaged, and careless detachment of the inner container while being carried is prevented. In addition, a guide protrusion is provided on at least one of the left and right sides of the rear surface of the storage portion and a portion of the front surface, so that the inner container has a width approximately equal to the width of the guide protrusion. Since the slide protrusion is provided, when attaching and detaching the inner container,
The stroke for sliding the inner container is short, making it easy to use. Furthermore, since a concave portion protruding inward is formed on the rear surface of the accommodating portion, and the connecting portion of the lid body is disposed in this concave portion, in order to attach the connecting portion to the rear end of the outer container, it is necessary to The total length of the depth c of the recessed portion and the depth (front-rear width) of the rear portion may be longer than the front-rear width of the connecting portion. The length can be reduced by about the depth, and the front-to-back width of the outer container can be shortened accordingly, and the outer container can be made lighter. Furthermore, one of the left and right sides of the storage part is opened, and the open side part is closed at the side end corresponding to the open side surface of the storage part among the left and right ends of the inner container. Therefore, the end surfaces of both the front and rear side surfaces of the accommodating section can be made to substantially coincide with the lateral surfaces of the inner container when it is accommodated. Therefore, unlike the conventional example, there is no need to make the inside of the container body wide enough to allow the cosmetic filling tray to fit loosely (slide by a predetermined stroke). In comparison, the lateral width of the accommodating portion can be shortened, and the lateral width of the outer container can be shortened accordingly. In this way, in the compact of this invention, the front and rear widths and the left and right widths can be shortened, making it possible to make the compact smaller and lighter. Moreover,
When the compact is tilted with its open side facing downwards, it may be exposed to vibrations or shocks.
As a result, even if the guide protrusion of the accommodating part and the slide protrusion of the inner container disengage, the sliding movement of the inner container is blocked by the recess of the accommodating part, so that the inner container does not fall out from the accommodating part. There is no.
Moreover, when storing the inner container, the operation of sliding the inner container that has been lowered into the storage section can be easily performed by pressing the side surface of the inner container with your fingers. When removing the inner container, the sliding inner container can be easily lifted by lifting the side surface of the inner container that protrudes outward from the open right side surface with your fingers. This makes operations easier.
