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 were 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, a sliding rod 6 is inserted into the front of the front wall 3 of the container body, and the sliding rod 6 is opened in the front of the front wall to close the container body. The tip of the leaf spring 12 protruding from one end of the sliding rod is fixed into the inner part of the hole 11 bored in the side wall 10, and a recess 13 with a slope 14 is formed on the upper surface of the sliding rod.
is provided so that by moving the sliding rod against the elasticity of the leaf spring, the slope 14 can push up the lower end of the hook 5 and disengage it from the engagement strip 4. did.

"Operation" From the state shown in Figure 3, slide the sliding rod 6 against the container body 1.
When pushed to the right in the figure, as shown most clearly in Figure 1C, the rear end of the leaf spring 12 protruding from the left end of the sliding rod opens in the front face of the front wall and opens into a hole drilled in the side wall of the container body. Because it is fixed inside the inner part of leaf spring 1
It moves to the right in the figure against the elasticity of 2. Then, the slope 14 of the recess 13 on the upper surface of the sliding rod pushes up the lower end of the hook 5 that is engaged with the engagement strip 4 on the front wall 3 of the container body and releases the engagement. As shown, the lid 2 is opened.

``Embodiment'' 1 is a container body, 2 is a lid body, and these are pivotally connected at each rear edge. An engaging strip 4 is attached to the front wall 3 of the container body, and by engaging a hook 5 hanging down from the front part of the lid to the engaging strip, the lid is kept in a closed state with respect to the container body. It is set up.

A sliding rod 6 is inserted in the front of the front wall 3 of the container body. 7 is a dovetail groove and 8 is a dovetail groove, either of which may be provided on the front wall. The other side is provided on the rear surface of the sliding rod.
As shown in the illustrated example, it is preferable to provide the dovetail 7 with a dividing groove 9 that divides the dovetail into upper and lower parts. If you just push it in from the upper and lower parts 7
This can be done by elastic deformation of a and 7b. The container main body front wall 3 has a right side portion in the drawing extended forward to expand the inside of the container body, and a notch corresponding to the projecting portion is provided on the right rear surface of the sliding rod. In this case, the dovetail groove 7 and the dovetail groove 8 may be provided on the left and right sides of the front wall and the sliding rod, respectively.

A hole 11 opening in the front face of the front wall is bored in the side wall 10 of the container body, and the rear end of a leaf spring 12 protruding from the rear surface of one end of the sliding rod is fixed into the inner part of the hole. The leaf spring is provided so that it automatically returns when the sliding rod 6 is slid against the front wall of the container body, and the opening of the hole 11 does not get in the way when the sliding rod is moved. The mouth is widening.

The upper surface of the sliding rod 6 has a recess 13 into which the hook can be inserted when the hook is engaged with the engagement strip 4, and a slope 14 is provided on the side surface of the recess 13, so that the sliding rod 6 can be inserted into the recess 13. When the moving rod moves, the slope 14 pushes up the lower surface of the hook 5, and the hook 5 is disengaged from the engagement strip 4 due to the pushing up.

"Effect of the invention" The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, in which the sliding rod 6 is slidably inserted into the front surface of the front wall of the container body, and a recess 13 with a slope 14 is bored on the upper surface of the sliding rod. When the sliding rod is slid against the front wall 3 of the container body, the slope 14 pushes up the lower end of the hook, disengaging it from the engagement strip on the front wall of the container body, and opening the lid. Therefore, it is possible to provide a sliding rod regardless of the height of the front wall of the container main body, thereby making the container thinner, and by opening the hole 11 in the front surface of the front wall and drilling the hole 11 in the side wall of the container main body. The tip of a leaf spring 12 protruding from one end of the sliding rod is fixed in the inner part of the hole so that the sliding rod 6 automatically returns when the sliding rod is slid to push up the hook. Therefore, it is not necessary to pull back the sliding rod, which is convenient, and the mechanism for pulling back the sliding rod can be simplified.
