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 in the front end of the lid, and the front part of the lid is pivoted in the recess so as to be rotatable up and down. The bottom of the inner end of the bottomed recess is cut out to form an opening, the upper end surface of the container body is exposed to the opening, and the inner side of the knob is placed at the locking position of the lid. It is characterized in that the end bottom surface is brought into contact with the upper end surface.

<<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 view is provided at the center of the front edge of the container body 1, and a recess 4 is formed between this 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 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 locked 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.

A knob piece 14 is housed in the bottomed recess 9, and the front upper surface 15 of the knob piece 14 is inclined downwardly toward the front, and the rear end side forms a vertical wall 16. A key-shaped pivot hole 17-17 is provided in the front part of the knob piece 14, and the key-shaped pivot hole 17-17 gradually expands downward and is cut out to the lower end of the knob piece 14.
Corresponding to pin-shaped projections 18-17, pin-shaped projections 18-18 are protruded from both inner side walls of the bottomed recess 9. To assemble this knob piece 14 into the bottomed recess 9, place the lower end of the key-shaped pivot hole 17-17 on the pin-shaped protrusion 18-18, and push the knob piece 14 downward. The protrusion 18-18 is a key-shaped pivot hole 17-
The knob piece 14 is irremovably fitted to the upper part of the knob 17.
is attached rotatably around the pin-shaped protrusion 18-18.

When the lid 7 is closed with the knob 14 assembled into the bottomed recess 9, the rear vertical wall 1 of the knob 14 is closed, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4.
The bottom surface of the container 6 is in contact with the upper end surface 1a of the container body 1.

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
If you push your index finger slightly inward while holding both fingers together, the knob 14 will be attached to the container body 1.
The bottom plate 10, that is, the lid body 7 which is integral with the bottom plate 10, rises, and the engaging protrusions 5, 13 of both the lid body 7 and the container body 1 rotate. The engagement is released. After this engagement is released, the lid 7 can be freely opened to a desired angle while being held as described above. Therefore, by placing the compact container of the present invention on the left palm and performing the above operation using the thumb and index finger of the right hand, the lid can be opened extremely stably and easily.

<Effects> As described above, with the compact container of the present invention, by placing the compact container on one palm and pushing it inward while pinching the front edge of the compact container with the thumb and index finger of the other hand. You can unlock the lid and the container body by pressing the button, and open the lid at the desired angle while keeping the lid pressed, so there is no need to worry about the compact container falling from your palm, making it extremely easy to use. It can be made into a compact container with excellent properties.
