Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <<Field of industrial application>> The present invention relates to a compact container, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a compact container. A compact container in which the lid engages in the front and occupies a closed position, or a container in which an inner tray is placed between the container body and the lid, and the inner tray and the lid are pivoted to the rear end of the container body so that they can be opened and closed. ,
This invention relates to a compact container in which a lid engages with the front of the container body to occupy a closed position.

<<Prior Art>> Conventionally, in the above-mentioned compact containers, in order to facilitate disengagement between the lid and the container main body, a recess is provided in the front edge of the container main body, and a recess is provided in the front edge of the container main body, and a recess is provided in the front edge of the container body, and a recess is provided in the front edge of the container main body to facilitate disengagement between the lid and the container main body. It has been known that a push piece is rotatably provided, and when the push piece is pushed rearward, part of the pushing force is converted into a force for opening the lid upward.

However, in this known compact container, the push piece is provided on the front edge of the container body, so in order to release the engagement between the lid and the container body and open the lid, for example, the push piece must be pressed with the thumb of the left hand. After releasing the engagement, open the lid to a sufficient angle with your right thumb, or place the container body on your left palm and press the push piece with your right thumb to release the engagement. The common operation was to switch the thumb and place it on the front end of the lid to open and close the lid.

Therefore, in the conventional compact container described above, it is necessary to perform complicated operations such as using the fingers of both hands to open the lid, or changing the way the container is held even with the same fingers.

For this purpose, a push piece is provided at the front end of the lid, and by pressing the push piece backward with the thumb of the right hand to disengage the lid and the container body, and lifting the thumb upward, the lid can be compared. Compact containers are provided that can be opened to a wide angle.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in conventional compact containers in which the push piece is provided on the lid side, the pressing part of the push piece is provided on or above the center partition line between the lid and the container body, and Because it is located on the same vertical plane as the front edge, for example, when opening the lid with the container body on the palm of the left hand, the lower end of the fingertip of the right thumb will press the push piece backward. At this time, there is a problem in that the fingertip hits the front edge of the container body, making it impossible to apply sufficient pressure.

Furthermore, the engagement is released by rotating or sliding the push piece to convert the pressing force in the direction of opening the lid, and the rotation or sliding of the push piece directly opens the lid. Since the force is not enough to open the lid, there is a loss of pressing force, and the rotation or sliding of the push piece does not provide the force to reliably open the lid, requiring extra force or operation to open the lid. There was a problem.

This idea was made in view of the problems mentioned above.
The purpose of this is to ensure that when pressing the push piece, your fingertips do not touch the front edge of the container body or the lid, and that you can press the push piece sufficiently to ensure that the engagement between the lid and the container body is released by pressing the push piece. To provide a compact container with an excellent opening ability of a lid body.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above object, the compact container according to the present invention has a lid pivotally attached to the rear end of the container body so as to be freely openable and closable, and the lid is engaged at the front of the container body. In a compact container that occupies a closed position when
