[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in such a structure, since the push button 21 is provided on the front of the inner plate 3, the user cannot press the inner plate 3.
The operation tends to involve opening the lid body 2 upwards and opening the saucer 1 downwards, which is difficult to operate, and
Even if the operation is centered on the saucer 1, the inner tray 3 will now be lifted upwards, and the push button on the front of the inner tray 3 will have to be operated in the lifted state, making it difficult to operate. That doesn't change.

The present invention was developed in view of the problems of conventional compact containers, and it is a compact container equipped with an inner tray that can be opened and closed using the saucer as a center, just like a normal compact container.
The technical problem is to enable the lid and the inner tray to be opened in one operation.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the present invention interposes an inner plate 3 between the saucer 1 and the lid body 2, and the saucer 1
In a compact container in which the rear side of the lid body 2 and the inner plate 3 are hinged to the rear side, the lid body engagement/disengagement device has the following structure.

That is, the inner plate 3 is formed to a size that fits into the saucer 1, and a pair of locking protrusions 5, 5 that engage with each other when the inner plate 3 is fitted are formed between the outer surface of the front wall of the inner plate 3 and the front wall of the saucer 1. Protrudes from the inside.

Further, a locking protrusion 9 is provided protrudingly on the outer surface of the front wall of the saucer 1, and a hook pawl 8 that engages and disengages from the locking protrusion 9 is vertically provided on the lower surface of the front end of the lid body 2.

Furthermore, a flat plate portion 6 that continues to the upper end of the front wall of the inner tray 3 and extends forward over the upper end of the front wall of the saucer 1.
is provided near the portion corresponding to the hook claw 8.

A rotary body 11 is provided on the front surface of the saucer 1 corresponding to the hook claws 8 and the flat plate portion 6 so as to be movable up and down. The rotating body 11 includes a first push-up part 13 that comes into contact with the lower end of the hook claw 8 provided on the lid body 2 and pushes it up when the rotating body 11 is rotated.
A second pushing part 14 is provided which comes into contact with the lower surface of the flat plate part 6 provided on the inner plate 3 and pushes it up when the rotating body 11 is rotated.

Then, the rotation angle of the rotating body 11 until the second push-up part 14 is brought into contact with the flat plate part 6 is determined as the rotation angle of the rotation body 11 until the said first push-up part 13 is brought into contact with the hook claw 8. Set it to be larger than .

[Effect]

The lid 2 and the inner tray 3 are opened and closed by operating the rotating body 11, and since the rotating body 11 is provided on the front surface of the saucer 1, the opening and closing operations can always be performed centering on the saucer 1.

Then, when the rotating body 11 is rotated, the first
The push-up part 13 comes into contact with the lower end of the hook claw 8 and pushes it up, and the lid body 2 opens. Next, the rotating body 1
1, the second push-up part 14 comes into contact with the lower surface of the flat plate part 6 of the inner plate 3 and pushes it up, so that the inner plate 3 also opens.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

This compact container is a three-layered container with an inner tray 3 interposed between a saucer 1 and a lid 2.
The lid body 2 and the inner plate 3 are connected to each other by a hinge (not shown) provided on their rear sides so that they can be rotated to open and close.

First, the inner plate 3 is formed in a size that fits into the saucer 1, and a pair of locking protrusions 5, 5 that engage with each other when fitted are connected to the outer surface of the front wall of the inner plate 3 and the saucer 1.
It protrudes from the inner surface of the front wall. Further, the inner tray 3 is provided with a flat plate part 6 that continues from the upper end of the front wall and extends forward over the upper end of the front wall of the saucer 1. This flat plate part 6 is formed in a flange shape so as to go around the inner plate 3. Further, the flat plate part 6 on the front surface of the inner plate 3 is provided with a convex notch 7 consisting of a wide first notch 7a and a narrow second notch 7b continuing from the center of the first notch 7a. ing.

A hook claw 8 that passes through the second notch 7b and hangs down to the outer surface of the front wall of the saucer 1 is vertically provided on the lower surface of the front end of the lid body 2, and a locking protrusion on which the hook claw 8 engages and disengages. 9 is provided protrudingly on the outer surface of the front wall of the saucer 1.

Further, a recess 10 is formed on the front surface of the saucer 1 corresponding to the hook claw 8 and the notch 7, and this recess 1
A rotary body 11 is provided within the rotor 0 so as to be movable up and down. This rotating body 11 has a first push-up part 13 and a second push-up part 14 arranged in two stages, upper and lower, on the inner surface of a standing wall 12 that is substantially flush with the front surface of the saucer 1. be. The upper edge of the vertical wall 12 is positioned within the first notch 7a when the inner plate 3 is closed. Further, the first push-up portion 13 is adapted to come into contact with and push up the lower end of the hook claw 8 that is engaged with the locking protrusions 5, 5 when the rotating body 11 is rotated. Second push-up part 14
is formed into a concave shape and has a relief groove 15 in the center thereof through which the hook claw 8 passes, and both side portions of this relief groove 15 are connected to the flat plate portion 6 provided on the inner plate 3.
It is designed to come into contact with the bottom surface of the holder and push it up.

In addition, the hook claw 8, the flat plate part 6, the first push-up part 13 and the second push-up part 14 of the rotating body 11 are as follows. In relation to the rotation angle of the rotation body 11, the following relative positional relationship is set. That is, the rotation angle of the rotating body 11 until the second push-up part 14 comes into contact with the flat plate part 6 is greater than the rotation angle of the rotation body 11 until the first push-up part 13 comes into contact with the hook claw 8. The relative positional relationship between these is set so that the distance is also large. Therefore, when the rotating body 11 is rotated, the first push-up part 13 pushes up the hook claw 8, and then the second push-up part 14 pushes up the flat plate part 6.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

Lid body 2 and inner plate 3 closed state [Fig. 2 a, b]
When the rotating body 11 is rotated, the first push-up part 13 comes into contact with the lower end of the hook claw 8 and pushes it up, opening the lid 2 [FIG. 3a].

After that, when the lid body 2 is slightly opened, the second push-up part 14 comes into contact with the flat plate part 6 of the inner plate 3 and pushes it up [Fig. 3b], and not only the lid body 2 but also the inner plate 3 opens. This is the case [Figure 4 a, b].

If it is desired to open only the lid 2, the operation can be stopped at the steps shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, only the lid 2 or both the lid 2 and the inner tray 3 can be opened by rotating the rotating body 11, and the lid opening operation can be easily performed.

In addition, since the rotating body 11 is provided on the front surface of the saucer 1 located at the lowest level, the lid 2 and the inner tray 3 can be opened and closed using the saucer 1 as a center. It is easier to operate and use than the case where a member for opening the lid is provided on the front part.
