Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a compact container that can be assembled with the same outer diameter despite the combination of hinge parts each having a circumference of different thickness.

(Prior Art) This type of compact container has conventionally used a straight wire with no steps or a very thin metal plate rolled to a desired length as the outer diameter of the core.
Therefore, there are lids, main bodies, and other lids with different thicknesses.
There was a step in the hinge part that was wound from etc.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) Such compact containers are mainly made of metal or made of metal and plastic.
Conventional hinges for press-processed metal thin plates have protrusions protruding from the edges of the lid, main body, etc., and the protrusions are rolled up to form a hinge, so the thickness of the plate is x 2 + the diameter of the core metal. is the outer diameter of the hinge, and even if it is made of plastic or metal, it may be a cast product such as a zinc alloy, or
Cold-cast products made of relatively soft materials such as aluminum have a sufficiently thick hinge part with a hole for inserting a core metal to form a hinge. The diameter is determined according to the strength of the material, so when there are various requests like in this section,
A compact container that inevitably has a complicated structure generally consists of a main body 1 and a lid 2, or a main body 1 and a lid 2, and one or several other lids sandwiched between the two. The body 3, which is pivoted coaxially with the hinge of the body 1 and the lid body 2 so that it can be opened and closed, has a restricted structure, so it is necessary to vary the material and thickness of the material used. , the hinge that is coaxially combined with the main body 1, the lid 2, and the "other lid" 3 allows for a step in the outer diameter, or adjusts the other outer diameter to match the thickest part. Performing extra steps or
Also, by adding extra parts, a uniform outer diameter was obtained.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional products and to provide a compact hinged container with no step in the outer diameter even when the hinge parts are combined with various thicknesses.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the hinge portion of the compact container according to the present invention has the same outer diameter of the hinge portion of the main body 1, the lid 2, and the “other lid” 3, and the hole diameter is determined depending on the material used or the purpose of use. Therefore, the inner diameter is different, and the core metal 4 that matches the inner diameter inevitably has a step in the outer diameter, which is suitable for each purpose of use. In order to provide a fitted body with a similar shape, and also to more reliably stop the lid 2 and the "other lid" 3 at the desired angle with respect to the main body 1, which is often required in compact containers, In addition, in order to stop the rotation of parts of materials that are easily worn out, such as plastic and aluminum, we added unevenness to the desired step using techniques such as knurling. Furthermore, when two core metals 4 are used, the exposed end faces are expanded in the shape of a rivet head to cover the core metal end faces and the exposed end faces of the hinge tube.

(Function) For example, it consists of a main body 1, a lid 2, and an "other lid" 3 sandwiched between the two bodies, and the "other lid" 3
Is it a cold-forged product of aluminum?The main body 1 and the lid 2 are pressed from thin stainless steel plates, and the hinges are both the same diameter.
It is wrapped in a letter shape. As for movement, if the "other lid body" 3 is stopped at the desired angle and the lid body 2 does not need to be stopped, the structure of the hinge is such that the "other lid body" 3 is in the center and the hinges are moved on both sides. A pair of hinges 21, 21 of the lid body 2 are wound, and a pair of hinge parts 11, 11 of the main body 1 are wound on both sides thereof. Two core metals 44 are used, and the tip has three steps, the first step 41 has an unevenness 45 with knurling, etc., and the rear end is expanded to form a decorative head shaped like a rivet head. Make 44. The relationship between the outer diameters of each stage is such that the first stage 41 has (=) the inner diameter of the hinge of the "other lid" 3, and is knurled from the outer diameter thereof. The second stage 42 is the hinge 2 of the lid body 2
1 and 21 on the inner diameter, and the third step 43 is made on the inner diameter of the hinges 11 and 11 of the main body 1 (<). Assemble the hinge part 1 of the main body 1 located at the outermost position.
1 and 11, the core metals 4 and 4 are inserted and fitted from both sides.
The first stage 41 has its convex portion 45 bit into the soft inside of the "other lid" 3, and the rotation of the core metal 4 and the "other lid" 3 is stopped. The lid body 2 located next is
It rotates unstoppably with an outer diameter portion 42 that is thinner than the main body 1. Since the main body 1 has a shape that tightens its outer diameter, it starts rotating by applying an appropriate force, and therefore, the core bar 4 and the "other lid body" 3, which cannot be rotated, Starts rotation with respect to the main body 1 with this force,
If the force is removed, it will stop at that position. The decorative head 44 at the rear end of the core bar 4 is attached to the hinge 1 of the main body 1.
1 and 11 are decorated and covered. Even if there are a plurality of main bodies 1 and lids 2 or "other lids" 3, it is natural that the other things are the same except for the number of stages.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

(First Embodiment) A first embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The compact container of the first embodiment has a main body 1
a, a lid body 2a, and an "other lid body" 3a, which are located in the order of the lid body 2a, the "other lid body" 3a, and the main body 1 from above, and are wound around the rear end of each. With the hinge, the lid body 2a rotates smoothly with respect to the main body 1a, and the "other lid body" 3a rotates with an appropriate force,
When the force is nullified, it stops at that position, and the hinge parts 2a1, 2a1 of the lid body 2a are wound with the same outer diameter and the same inner diameter as the hinge parts 1a1, 1a1 of the main body 1a. The hinge portion 3a1 of the other lid 3a is wound with the same outer diameter as the hinge portions 1a1, 1a1 of the main body 1a, and has a thinner inner diameter.
The difference in plate thickness of this hinge is because the materials used for the main body 1a and the lid body 2a are the same thickness, and the "other lid body" 3a is made of aluminum plate, so it has to be thicker from the point of view of strength. In this example, the main body 1
Steps 4a1, 4a2, 4 are formed on the core metal 4a so that a and the "other lid body" 3a satisfy the condition of stopping at the desired opening angle.
Step a3 according to the inner diameter of each hinge,
Furthermore, in order to stop the rotation of the inner diameter of the hinge 3a1 of the "other lid" 3a made of aluminum, which is a soft material, a vertical protrusion 4a5 is knurled on the stepped portion 4a1. The "other lid" 3a can be stopped at a desired opening angle by the resistance created by the inner circumferential surfaces of the hinges 1a1, 1a1 wound around the main body 1a and the stepped portion 4a3 of the core metal 4a. The hinges 1a1, 1a1 of the main body 1a and the hinges 2a1, 2a1 of the lid 2a are connected to the stepped portion 4 of the core metal 4a.
Due to the diameter difference between a2 and 4a3, the main body 1a and the core metal 4a
The lid body 2a is designed to eliminate resistance. Furthermore, a decorative head 4a4 is provided at the rear end of the core metal 4a, and the hinge 1a1 of the main body 1a,
By press-fitting two core metals 4a from the left and right outsides of 1a1, the outermost left and right end surfaces of the hinge were covered and decorated.

(Second Embodiment) A second embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 5.

The compact container of the second embodiment is generally composed of a lid 2b and a main body 1b, but for convenience, the thickness of the lid 2b is thicker than that of the main body 1b. However, since it is preferable that the thickness of the hinge portion be the same, if the stepped portions 4b1 and 4b2 are provided on the core metal 4b and it is desirable to stop the lid body 2b at the desired opening angle, the stepped portions 4b1 and 4b2 may be made to have different thicknesses. Hinge 1b
1, 1b1, and 2b1, and if smooth opening and closing is acceptable, make either the stepped part 4b1 or 4b2 thinner to eliminate the resistance, and use the two core metals. 4b may be press-fitted from the left and right sides respectively. A decorative head 4b4 is provided at the rear end of the core bar 4b to decorate and cover the outer end surfaces of the hinges 1b1, 1b1 of the main body 1b.

(Third Embodiment) A third embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The compact container of the third embodiment is almost the same as the second embodiment, but the lid 2c is made of plastic. Therefore, the problem that differs from the second embodiment is that when the lid 2c is requested to stop at the desired opening angle, the inner circumferential surface of the hinge 2c1 of the lid 2c wears out. Now, as in the first embodiment, a vertical protrusion is provided with a knurling, and a core bar 4c and a lid body 2c are attached.
This was solved by making it unrotatable.

(Fourth Embodiment) A fourth embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In the fourth embodiment of this invention, the plate thickness of the lid body 2d is thinner than the plate thickness of the main body 1d, and the hinge 1d of the main body 1d
1, 1d1 is assembled and then rolled up. As shown in FIG. 4, it is thick at the center and narrow at both ends.

(Effects of the invention) This invention has the following excellent effects. First of all, due to various severe requirements, the lid body 2, the main body 1, or a single body with different plate thicknesses and materials,
By combining a plurality of "other lid bodies" 3, a conventional product with a step on the outer periphery of the hinge, which spoils the aesthetics considerably, is now made into a clean product with no step. By protruding the vertical protrusions 45 at the desired stepped portions of the core metal 4, materials that are subject to a lot of wear and tear can be prevented from rotating and worn out, and materials that have elasticity can be made to take advantage of their elasticity. Since the hinge portion wound in the shape of a letter is used as a source of resistance necessary for stopping at the desired opening angle, the decrease in resistance value over time of use is extremely small. In addition, when two core metals 4 are used, a decorative head can be attached, so that the exposed outer end surface, which is unique to a metal compact, can be neatly covered.
