Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a compact container that has a puff storage chamber in the front part of the container and a cosmetic storage compartment in the rear part that has a cover to prevent cosmetics from scattering. Regarding.

[Prior art and its problems] Conventional compact containers have the following two problems. First, cosmetics may scatter and stain the mirror attached to the inner surface of the lid. In order to prevent this, it is desirable to cover the cosmetic storage chamber, and compact containers having various types of covers have been proposed. Such containers include those in which a thin plate made of plastic sheet is placed on the top surface of the cosmetics storage chamber, and those in
As shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-121012, an inner lid for storing cosmetics with an inner lid hinged thereto is known.

In the former type of compact container, the thin plate must be removed from the container when the cosmetic is used, so it is easy to lose it. The latter container has a complicated structure and is inevitably expensive.

Furthermore, in the conventional compact container, in order to take out the puff from the puff storage chamber, it is difficult to remove the puff by inserting one's fingers into a gap around the puff. Therefore, various systems have been proposed, and one example is as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 143506/1983, in which a plate-shaped elastic bottom plate is arranged at the bottom of the puff storage chamber and rotates when the lid is opened. It is known that the inner surface of the movable hinge boss pushes the rear end of the elastic bottom plate forward, thereby bending the elastic bottom plate upward and lifting the puff upward.

This compact container has a complicated structure because the inner surface of the hinge boss must push the rear end of the elastic bottom plate forward.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and is an attempt to solve the two drawbacks of the conventional ones at once. That is, it is an object of the present invention to provide a compact container in which the cover of the cosmetic storage chamber has a simple structure, the cover is difficult to lose, and the puff can be taken out with a simple structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The compact container of the present invention has a puff storage chamber in the front part and a cosmetics storage chamber in the rear part, and has a front-back direction on the upper surface of the side edge of the container. A guide groove is provided extending to the bottom of the puff storage chamber, a rearward slope is provided at the front of the bottom of the puff storage chamber and the height decreases toward the rear, and a cover made of a plastic sheet is provided to cover the cosmetic storage chamber to prevent cosmetics from scattering. A guide piece that engages with the guide groove is provided vertically on the side of the cover, and a sheet for placing puffs extending from the front end of the cover is arranged on the bottom surface of the puff storage chamber.

[Function] In the compact container of the present invention, when the cover for preventing scattering of cosmetics is pulled toward the user, the cover slides toward the user while the guide piece provided on the side of the cover remains engaged with the guide groove. At this time, the tip of the sheet extending in front of the cover rides on the slope provided in front of the bottom of the puff storage chamber, so that the puff placed on this sheet floats up from the puff storage chamber. When the cover is further pulled forward after taking out the puff, the cover opens the surface of the cosmetic storage chamber, but the guide piece remains engaged with the guide groove.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1 is a compact container according to the present invention,
18 puff storage compartments in the front and 1 cosmetic storage compartment in the rear
6 and a lid 30 are rotatably coupled via hinges 12 and 32 disposed at the rear of each. Reference numeral 34 denotes an engagement member that projects rearward at the front edge of the lid 30, and maintains the closed state of the lid 30 together with the engagement protrusion 14 provided on the rear wall of the recess 11 at the front edge of the container 10. do. 1
5 is a pressing part arranged in the recess 11,
By pressing this pressing part 15, the engaging member 34
is pushed up and the lid 30 is opened.

Reference numeral 40 denotes a cover disposed on the top of the container 10, and is made of a plastic sheet, for example, a vinyl chloride sheet. Reference numeral 42 denotes a covering portion located at the rear of the cover 40, and is formed to be slightly larger than the opening of the cosmetic storage chamber 16. The covering portion 42 has guide pieces 44, 44 bent downward at the left and right side edges, and a finger hook portion 46 cut out in a semicircular shape at the center of the rear edge. This finger hook portion 46 is used when sliding the cover 40 toward you as described later. Reference numeral 48 denotes a puff placement sheet, which extends from the front edge of the covering portion 42 as follows. That is, the front edge of the covering portion 42 hangs down at the rear end of the puff storage chamber 18, and further extends toward the front along the bottom surface of the puff storage chamber 18, with its tip reaching the top of the rearward slope 22 described later. It is formed by twisting.

Reference numerals 20 and 20 denote guide grooves formed in the shape of slits in the front-rear direction at the upper portions of the left and right side edges of the container 10. The guide pieces 44, 44 guide the cover 40 when it slides back and forth on the upper part of the container 10 by sliding while being engaged with the guide grooves 20, 20.

Reference numeral 22 denotes a rearward slope provided in front of the bottom of the puff storage chamber 18. When the cover 40 slides toward the front, the tip of the puff placement sheet 48 rides on the rearward slope 22, and the puff placed on the sheet 48 floats up. After taking out the floating puff, when the cover 40 is further slid toward the user, the rear end of the covering portion 42 reaches the front side of the cosmetic storage chamber 16, and the upper surface of the cosmetic storage chamber 16 is opened. By doing so, the cover 40 is engaged with the container 10 via the guide pieces 44, 44 and the guide grooves 20, 20 even when the cosmetic storage chamber 16 is open. .

In the embodiment described above, the guide pieces 44, 44 are provided over the entire side edge of the covering portion 42, but they may be provided only partially. Moreover, when the cover 40 is located at the rear of the upper part of the container 10,
The tip of the puff placement sheet 48 does not necessarily have to reach the top of the rearward slope 22, and the tip of the sheet 48 may ride on the rearward slope 22 when the cover 40 is located in front of the upper part of the container 10. Just form it.

[Effects of the invention] The compact container according to the invention has a simple structure because the upper surface of the cosmetic storage chamber can be opened or covered by the guide piece engaging and sliding in the guide groove. It is. Also, even when opened,
Since the cover engages with the container via the guide piece and guide groove, it is difficult to lose it. Furthermore, since the puff floats up from the puff storage chamber simply by sliding the cover toward you, the puff can be easily taken out with an extremely simple structure.
