Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a compact case that is suitably used to store cosmetics such as foundation and white powder. This invention relates to a compact case that can prevent materials from being damaged.

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art Compact cases are generally known, which include a case body in which a saucer fitting part is formed, and a cosmetic saucer disposed within the saucer fitting part of the case body and filled with cosmetics.

This type of compact case is designed to increase the commercial value of powdered cosmetics, such as foundation and white powder, by neatly storing them in a cosmetic container. .

By the way, since the cosmetics filled in the saucer are applied to the face etc. using a puff etc.
When the cosmetic is filled into a saucer, it solidifies in the saucer with a certain degree of softness, and is susceptible to damage such as cracking or chipping due to impact or the like.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Therefore, in the conventional compact case, when an external impact is transmitted to the cosmetics through the tray due to a drop during transportation, the cosmetics are easily damaged and the product value is reduced. There is a problem with doing so.

For this reason, Publication No. 61-31690, Publication No. 61-31690,
In the cosmetic compacts described in Publication No. 31691 or Publication No. 35609 of Sho 61, etc., a cushioning material such as a sponge, a spring, or a soft elastic material is placed on the bottom side of the saucer. The elastic deformation prevents external impacts from being transmitted to the cosmetics in the tray. However, in this case, there is a problem that not only does the overall thickness of the compact significantly increase due to the cushioning material, but also that the saucer moves or sinks through the cushioning material during use, making it difficult to use. .

The present invention was developed in view of the problems of the prior art described above, and the present invention provides a plastically deformable buffer member between the tray fitting part of the case body and the cosmetic tray, thereby preventing external damage. To provide a compact case capable of absorbing impact energy and preventing damage to cosmetics in a cosmetics receptacle.

[Means for solving problems]

The feature of the structure adopted by the present invention in order to solve the above-mentioned problems is that the cosmetic tray is located between the cosmetic tray and the tray fitting part of the case body, and the thin plate made of a material that is easily deformed plastically. A buffer member formed thinner than the cosmetic tray is provided, and a cavity is formed between the buffer member and the cosmetic tray, and the buffer member is plastically deformed toward the cavity when subjected to an external impact. The reason is that a gentle collision part is formed in a protruding manner to absorb impact energy.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, even if the compact case is dropped during transportation or during use, and an impact is applied to the compact case from the outside,
A buffer member made of a thin plate that is thinner than the cosmetic tray and is easily plastically deformed allows a gentle impact portion to be plastically deformed in the space between the cosmetic tray and the cosmetic tray when receiving an external impact; By absorbing impact energy based on the plastic deformation of the gentle collision portion, transmission of impact to the cosmetics in the cosmetics tray can be significantly reduced.

The hinge joint portion 2A of the lid body 2 is connected to the case body 1.
is hinged to the hinge joint part 1B via the pin 3,
The lock portion 2B can be engaged with the lock portion 1C of the case body 1. Further, a mirror 4 is attached to the lower surface side of the lid body 2.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a gold plate serving as a cosmetic receptacle filled with cosmetic 6, and the metal plate 5 is formed into a shallow cylindrical shape with a bottom by press-molding a thin aluminum plate. The gold plate 5 is fitted into a saucer fitting portion 1A of the case body 1 via a buffer plate 7, which will be described later, with the cosmetic 6 being filled inside.

Reference numeral 7 indicates a buffer plate as a buffer member provided on the metal plate 5 and located between the saucer fitting portion 1A of the case body 1, and the buffer plate 7 is made of a material that is relatively soft and easily deformed plastically. , for example, a thin plate such as aluminum, brass or mild steel (thinner than the metal plate 5, for example 0.3
mm or less) into a shallow cylindrical shape with a bottom. Then, the buffer plate 7
As shown in FIG. 3, it is formed into a cylindrical shape with an inner diameter corresponding to the outer shape of the metal plate 5, and includes a cylindrical portion 7A that covers the outer circumferential side of the metal plate 5, and a lower end of the cylindrical portion 7A. A substantially disc-shaped bottom 7B that is integrally formed and covers the bottom side of the metal plate 5, and an annular protrusion 7C that is formed to protrude downward with a predetermined width dimension a on the outer peripheral side of the bottom 7B.
and a circular protrusion 7D which is formed to protrude downward with a predetermined diameter b at the center of the bottom part 7B.
The metal plate 5 is placed on the bottom surface of the gold plate 5, and voids B and A are formed between these and the bottom surface of the metal plate 5, respectively.

Here, the annular protrusion 7C and the circular protrusion 7D are press-molded together with the cylindrical part 7A and the bottom part 7B with the same protrusion amount c, and when the diameter of the cylindrical part 7A is about 60 mm, the annular protrusion 7C The width dimension a is about 8 mm, the diameter b of the circular protrusion 7D is about 26 mm, and the protrusion amount c is 2
Formed to about mm. The annular protrusion 7C and the circular protrusion 7D are plastically deformed by an external impact and form a gentle collision part that absorbs the impact energy. The transmission of impact to the cosmetics 6 in the gold plate 5 is greatly reduced. The buffer plate 7 is fixed to the metal plate 5 and the saucer fitting portion 1A using adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, or the like, respectively.

The compact case according to this embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and when in use, the lid 2 is opened and the cosmetics 6 in the gold plate 5 are applied using a puff (not shown) or the like while looking at the mirror 4 or the like. . When not in use, the lid 2 is closed, and the cosmetics 6 in the gold plate 5 are protected by the lid 2, the case body 1, and the like.

By the way, if the compact case is subjected to an external impact such as falling or hitting something nearby while being transported from the manufacturer to the dealer or while being used by the user, makeup may be damaged through the metal plate 5. When the impact is transmitted to the cosmetic material 6, the cosmetic material 6 is damaged.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the annular protrusion 7 is provided on the bottom portion 7B.
The bottom surface of the metal plate 5 is covered by a buffer plate 7 provided with C and a circular protrusion 7D, and when an external impact is applied, the annular protrusion 7C and circular protrusion 7D of the buffer plate 7 become plastic. Since it is deformed to absorb impact energy, transmission of external impact to the cosmetic 6 via the metal plate 5 can be greatly reduced, and damage to the cosmetic 6 can be prevented. .

That is, the buffer plate 7 is made of a thin plate made of a material that is easily plastically deformed, such as aluminum, brass, or mild steel, and has a thinner wall than the metal plate 5, for example, about 0.1 mm. Spaces A and B are provided between the annular protrusion 7C and the circular protrusion 7D of the buffer plate 7 and the bottom of the metal plate 5, respectively, so that there is no impact from the outside when the compact case is dropped. When applied, this impact causes only the annular protrusion 7C and the circular protrusion 7D of the buffer plate 7 to partially collapse into the spaces A and B.
It dents to the side and deforms plastically, and at this time it can absorb impact energy. Therefore,
The impact transmitted to the cosmetic 6 via the metal plate 5 can be greatly suppressed, and damage to the cosmetic 6 can be prevented.

In addition, the buffer tray 7 can be used to remove the cosmetics 6 in the metal tray 5 using a puff or the like.
Since there is no elastic deformation when pressed, the metal plate 5 will not move within the saucer fitting part 1A of the case body 1 during use.
This can solve problems such as making it difficult to use.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the same components as in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their explanations will be omitted. shall be taken as a thing.

However, the feature of this embodiment is that a plurality of protrusions 11C, 1
1C, . . . are formed protrudingly in the shape of a small-diameter bottomed cylinder, and each of the protrusions 11C constitutes a gentle collision portion. Here, the buffer plate 11 is formed almost the same as the buffer plate 7 described in the first embodiment, and the cylindrical portion 11
A is adapted to be fitted onto the outer peripheral surface of the metal plate 5. Further, when the diameter of the cylindrical portion 11A is about 60 mm,
The diameter d of each protrusion 11C is approximately 3.5 mm, each protrusion 11C
The spacing e is about 7 mm, and the protrusion f is about 2 mm. Then, the buffer plate 11 is attached to the saucer fitting part 1 of the case body 1 together with the metal plate 5 in the state shown in FIG.
For example, the bottom surface of each protrusion 11C is fixed to the bottom surface side of the saucer fitting portion 1A by adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, or the like.

Thus, even in this embodiment configured in this way, each protrusion 1 of the buffer plate 11 is damaged by an external impact.
1C is partially plastically deformed to absorb impact energy, and it is possible to obtain substantially the same effect as in the first embodiment.

In each of the above embodiments, the metal plate 5 was described as having a cylindrical shape with a bottom, but instead of this,
The metal plate 5 may be formed into a rectangular tube shape with a bottom. In this case, the buffer plates 7 and 11 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the metal plate 5. In addition, the cylindrical portion 7 of the buffer plates 7 and 11
A and 11A do not necessarily need to be provided. In this case, the buffer plates 7 and 11 are replaced by the metal plate 5 and the saucer fitting part 1.
It may be securely fixed to A using adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape, or the like.

Furthermore, in each of the above embodiments, the width dimension a of the annular protrusion 7C is about 8 mm, the diameter b of the circular protrusion 7D is about 26 mm, and the diameter d of the protrusion 11C is about 3.5 mm.
These dimensions may be changed as appropriate. The same applies to the protrusion amounts c and f and the interval e.

[Effect of idea]

As detailed above, according to the present invention, a buffer member made of a thin plate that is thinner than the cosmetic tray and is easily plastically deformed is located between the cosmetic tray and the tray fitting portion of the case body. The cushioning member is provided with a space between it and the cosmetic tray, and an impact protrusion is formed protrudingly to absorb impact energy by plastically deforming toward the space when an external impact is received. Therefore, when the compact case is dropped or subjected to an external impact, the impact energy can be absorbed by plastically deforming the gentle collision part of the cushioning member, effectively mitigating the impact. In addition, various effects can be achieved, such as greatly reducing the impact transmitted to the cosmetics in the cosmetics tray and preventing damage to the cosmetics.
