Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a compact container for accommodating an inner plate for storing cosmetics, a puff, and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, many proposals have been made for compact containers in which the interior of the container body is divided into a storage area for cosmetics such as foundation and a storage area for puffs.

For example, in the case of the compact container described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-184510 shown in FIG. is formed as a storage part for the inner tray 2 containing cosmetics. At the boundary between the puff storage section and the inner plate storage section,
A rising engagement piece 3 stands up vertically from the bottom plate 4, and by engaging this rising engagement piece 3 with a hanging engagement piece 5 on the side of the inner plate 2, the inner plate 2
is fitted and held in the inner tray storage part. Further, a finger hook 6 is provided on the front side of the inner plate 2 and projects forward, and the above-mentioned hanging engagement piece 5 hangs down from the finger hook 6.

The inner plate 2 fitted and held in the inner plate storage part can be removed by grasping the finger hook 6 and pulling it upward.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in this conventional compact container, the finger hook 6 is shaped to protrude forward from the front side of the inner plate 2, and furthermore, the engagement piece 5 hangs vertically from the finger hook 6. Due to the protruding shape, the mold for forming the inner plate 2 using synthetic resin material is complicated, and molding is not easy.

Furthermore, the engagement piece 3 rising from the bottom plate 4 of the container body 1 is designed to engage with the engagement piece 5 hanging down from the finger hook piece 6 of the inner plate 2.
must protrude a considerable length from the surface of the

Therefore, the protruding shape of the rising engagement piece 3 and the shape of the hanging engagement piece 5 and the finger hook piece 6 protruding from the peripheral edge of the inner plate 2 are designed to improve the appearance and appearance of the cosmetic container. This leads to deterioration in appearance.

In addition, especially if the finger hook 6 is shaped to protrude toward the puff housing side, the protruding area and volume of the finger hook 6 will result in wasted space within the container body 1. There is a problem in that it does not suit the essence of a storage type compact container.

The present invention was devised in view of the problems of the conventional example, and the engaging pairs provided on the container body side and the inner plate side do not protrude from the mating side surface of the container body and the inner plate. By creating a flush shape, the mold shape is not complicated, making molding easier, and the aim is to provide a compact container with a smooth surface and excellent appearance. .

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve this objective, the compact container according to the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, in the compact container of the present invention, the front side of the interior of the container body 10 is provided with the side wall 12 around the bottom plate 11, and the inner tray 20 for storing cosmetics is fitted and held at the rear side. It is a compact container that serves as a storage section.

A locking protrusion 15 is provided protrudingly on the boundary line between the puff storage section and the inner plate storage section of the bottom plate 11 of the container body 10. Furthermore, a finger hook recess 22 and an engagement recess 23 that engages with each of the locking protrusions 15 are formed downward in the front wall 21A of the inner tray 20.

When the inner plate 20 is fitted and held in the inner plate storage portion, the rear wall 21B of the inner plate 20 is in contact with the inner surface of the rear wall 21B of the container main body 10, and the interference fit in the container front-rear direction is caused. The locking protrusion 15 is formed to engage with the engagement recess 23.

Here, the number of engagement protrusions 15 on the container body 10 side and the engagement recesses 23 on the inner plate 20 side, which are the engagement pair, is at least one, and in the embodiment, two each are provided. It is being

In addition, when the engagement recess 23 on the inner plate 20 side is fitted into the engagement protrusion 15 on the container body 10 side due to tight fitting due to tolerance dimensions, the engagement protrusion 15 is buried in the engagement recess 23. In this manner, the front wall 21A of the inner plate 20 is configured to be flush with the outer surface of the front wall 21A without protruding from the outer surface. Therefore, the locking protrusion 15 on the side of the container body 10
is lower than the height of the inner plate 20, and the size of the locking protrusion 15 is almost the same as the size of the engagement recess 23 on the inner plate 20 side.

[Effect]

When fitting the inner plate 20 into the inner plate storage section, the engagement recess 23 in the front side wall 21A of the inner plate 20 is
It is aligned with the locking protrusion 15 of the bottom plate 11 on the side of the container body 10, and at the same time, the rear wall 21B of the inner tray 20 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the rear wall 12B of the container body 10. As a result, when the inner plate 20 is strongly pushed down with respect to the inner plate storage part, the inner plate 20 is pushed down into the middle plate by the interference fit of the engagement recess 23 on the inner plate 20 side with the locking protrusion 15 on the container main body 10 side. It is fitted and held in the dish storage part.

In addition, when removing the inner plate 20, this inner plate 20
grip the finger hook recess 22 and pull it up.
