Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This case concerns compact containers for cosmetics.

``Prior Art'' Compact cosmetic containers usually have a container body and a lid that opens and closes the top of the container body pivoted at each rear edge, and an engagement part attached to the front surface of the container body is connected from the front surface of the lid body. When the vertical hook is engaged to maintain the closed state of the lid relative to the container body, and the finger hooks provided on the front surfaces of the container body and the lid are pushed in the opposite direction, the engaging portion and the hook are engaged. It is provided so that the lid can be opened by disengaging the lid.

By the way, the container body and the lid are each integrally molded from a synthetic resin material, but when they are molded, they are injected into a mold in a high temperature molten state and cooled to form a product, so the engaging part and the lid are molded together. It was difficult to achieve precision in the engaging portion, and as a result, the engagement was often too strong. In order to eliminate these drawbacks, recently a rotator has been pivoted to the front wall of the container body,
When the lower part of the rotator is pushed backward, a push-up plate protruding from the rear surface of the rotor pushes up a hook or the like hanging vertically from the lid, thereby engaging the container body and the lid. There are known devices that are designed to remove the

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' A rotator is pivotally mounted on the front surface of the container body, and when the lower part of the rotor is pushed in, a push-up plate that protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the rotor is moved to the lid. Conventional compact containers are designed to open the lid by pushing up a hook that hangs down from the front of the container body and engages with an engaging element on the front of the container body. Since it has to be pivoted to both the left and right wall surfaces of the recess provided in the front wall of the container body, it has been impossible to reduce the height of the container body's peripheral wall very much.

This proposal eliminates the above drawbacks.

"Means for solving the problem" The container body 1 and the lid 2 are pivotally connected at each rear edge, and the engagement strip 4 attached to the front wall 3 of the container body is hung from the front of the lid. In the compact cosmetic container in which the lid is kept in a closed state by engaging the hook 5, the front surface of the container body and the front surface of the lid are flush with each other, and at least a portion of the front wall is formed on the side of the front surface of the front wall. Opening on the front side, the top side, and the side end side,
A notch 6 is provided in the front wall portion facing the side end surface as a thin plate-like base plate 7, and a pin 8 is pivoted in the vertical direction to the base plate so that the inside of the notch 6 is A rotator 9 is provided at the top of the rotor, and the upper surface of the rotor is brought into surface contact with the lower surface of the side of the front part of the lid body which is in the closed state. When the free end 9a of the mover is moved forward,
The rotator 9 is arranged so that a gap for hooking a lid finger is formed below the lid portion that the free end portion was in contact with, and the free end portion protrudes forward from the front surface of the lid body.
The length of is determined.

"Operation" When the free end 9a of the rotator 9 is moved toward the front of the container as shown in FIGS. 1B and 3 from the states shown in FIGS. 1A and 2, the free end returns to its original position. Since a gap will be formed in the area where the lid was
The container body engagement strip 4 and the lid hook 5 can be disengaged by pushing up the lid by placing a finger on the lower surface of the front part and also on the free end.

"Example" 1 is a container body, and 2 is a lid body. These container bodies and lids are pivotally connected at their rear edges. Container body 1
An engagement strip 4 is attached to the front wall 3 of the lid, and the lid is kept in a closed state by engaging a hook 5 hanging down from the front of the lid. There is.

When the lid 2 is closed to the container body 1,
The front surface of the container main body front wall 3 and the front surface of the lid body 2 are formed to be flush with each other.

A notch 6 is formed in the front side of the front wall 3 of the container body, which opens at least on the front side of the front wall, the top side, and the side end side. As shown in the figure, the notch portion has a continuous portion opening to the upper surface and the front surface on the side opposite to the opening on the side end surface side, and the front wall portion below the continuous portion is used as the base plate portion 7. Good. However, the continuous portion may be provided below the front wall and the base plate portion may be provided above the continuous portion.

A rotator 9 is provided in the notch 6 by vertically pivoting a pin 8 to the base plate. The upper surface of the rotator is brought into surface contact with the front lower surface of the lid body which is in the closed state. The rotator 9 can be rotated around the pin 8 to move the free end 9a side without the pin toward the front side of the container, and at this time, the free end 9a side can be moved toward the bottom of the lid where the free end was located. The length of the rotator 9 is determined so that a gap for placing a finger on the lid body is formed in the portion, and the free end portion thereof protrudes forward beyond the front surface of the lid body.

In the illustrated example, a plurality of anti-slip protrusions are provided on the front and upper surfaces of the free end portion.

"Effect of the invention" Since the present invention has the above structure, the rotator can be attached even if the height of the front wall of the container body is low, and the rotor has an end face open on the side of the front wall 3 of the container body. Since the rotating element is located in the notch provided in the opening, the end surface of the free end side of the rotating element is exposed to the outside of the side surface of the container even when it is positioned below the front of the lid. By placing a finger on the exposed portion, the free end of the rotator can be easily moved forward of the container around the pin 8.
