Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a compact container, particularly a compact container with an exchangeable inner plate.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Cosmetic compacts are known to have an inner tray filled with cosmetics or a drum fixed to the main body in a removable manner. I was using it. However, the magnets themselves are expensive and difficult to install, so
There was a problem that the cost was high and that magnetic cards were likely to be adversely affected when stored in a handbag or the like. In addition, with adhesives, the adhesion strength decreases due to the adhesion of fine powder from cosmetics, and special means such as pins are required to attach and detach, which is time-consuming and can cause damage to the main body and inner tray. The problem was that it was easy to do.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and allows the inner plate to be attached and removed very easily with a simple structure that does not require any special parts.Moreover, the inner plate may be accidentally removed due to contact with other objects. It is an object of the present invention to provide a thin compact container of this type that is worry-free, can reliably maintain a fixed state except when necessary, and has a good appearance and good appearance.

In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention is a compact with an exchangeable inner plate, the front end of which is closed by a stop wall in the center of the plane, a pair of slide guide parts on both sides in the width direction, and the rear end of which is always open on the hinge side. a recess for storing an inner plate having an inner plate insertion/removal opening, and a main body having a hinge protrusion projecting rearwardly from the inner plate insertion/removal opening on both sides thereof; a lid pivotably supported on the main body by a hinge projection with a width that does not reach the inner plate insertion/ejection opening;
The recess is slidably fitted into the recess, and has a flat inner plate having a spring-like locking part provided on the surface of the recess and a removable engagement part at the bottom.

[Effect]

When you open the main body and lid, one end of the recess is penetrated by the hinge side end, so if you insert the inner plate into the recess from the penetrating part, the inner plate will be inserted smoothly with its rocking being restricted by the slide guide. The engaging part is firmly fixed by snapping into engagement with the locking part. When replacing the inner plate with another inner plate, the above-described operation may be performed in reverse.

Insertion and removal of the inner plate is performed on the hinge side, and when the lid is closed, it is impossible to pull out the inner plate because the hinge portion of the lid protrudes. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the inner plate accidentally coming off even if pressing force is applied in the thickness direction, left/right direction, or rubbing force is applied, and since the recess passes through the hinge side, it looks like a lid. It is only necessary to give the impression of a hinge mechanism between the body and the main body, and the appearance is better and aesthetically pleasing compared to a mechanism that pulls out the inner plate in the left and right directions.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figures 1 to 7 show one embodiment of the present invention, and in Figures 1 to 5, 1 is the main body, 2 is the lid, and 3 is the inner plate, all of which are made of synthetic resin. It is being

The main body 1 is provided with a recess 4 of a required depth in the center of the plane, and the front end of this recess is closed by a stopper wall 5, while the rear end penetrates through the hinge side end and is opened outward, forming an inner plate insertion/removal opening. 6 is formed. And hinge convex portions 7, 7 parallel to both sides of this inner plate insertion/ejection opening 6.
is installed protrudingly. Moreover, groove-shaped slide guide parts 9, 9 are provided on the left and right sides of the recessed part 4 by projecting pieces 8, 8 that project horizontally inward.

Further, the recess 4 has a springy locking portion 1.
0 and 10 are provided. This locking part 10,1
0, as shown in FIG. 2a, there is a U-shaped notch 12 penetrating the thickness of the bottom plate part 11, and only one end is the bottom plate part 1.
It consists of a tongue piece 15 connected to 1 and having a projection 14 on its upper surface that protrudes moderately from the level of the recess. The locking portions 10 may be single or may be provided at positions close to the stop wall 5, but in the illustrated example, one locking portion 10 is placed at a vertical position of the protrusion near the inner plate insertion/removal opening 6.

On the sides of the recess 4, there is a storage area 1 for cosmetic tools such as brushes, pencils, lipsticks, etc. through partition walls 16, 16.
7 and 17 are recessed, a mixing portion 18 is recessed next to the stop wall 5, and a hooking portion 19 for the lid body 2 is formed in front of it.

The lid body 2 has a hooking part 20 for the hooking part 19 formed at one end, and hinge protrusions 21, 21 forming a pair with the hinge protrusions 7, 7 of the main body 1 at the opposite end. The hinge protrusions 21, 21 are made to have a length that does not reach the inner plate insertion/removal port 6, and there is a space 22 between the hinge protrusions 21, 21.
It is becoming. It goes without saying that the hinge protrusions 7, 7, 21, 21 of the main body 1 and the lid 2 may be formed closer to the center of the main body.

The inner plate 3 is made flat and has a planar dimension such that both sides in the width direction are in sliding contact with the slide guide parts 9, 9. And medium plate 3
On one side top surface is an operation section 2 below the level of the top surface of the main body.
3 is formed, and a locking portion 1 of the main body 1 is formed on the side bottom surface.
Engagement portions 24, 24 corresponding to 0 and 10 are recessed. It goes without saying that the locking portions 10, 10 may be concave and the locking portions 24, 24 may be convex.

The inner tray 3 has a filling part for the cosmetic A, and although this filling part has a bottom in the illustrated example, it may have a bottomless rectangular frame shape depending on the case. It may be a structure in which they are connected by beams.

FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the inner plate 3 is essentially composed of two independent thin bodies 3a, 3b, and the lower surface of each thin body 3a, 3b is An engaging portion 24 is provided at each end, a locking portion 10' is provided at the same position on the upper surface, an operating portion 23 is formed on the upper surface at each end, and a recessed fitting portion 25 is formed on the lower surface at the same position,
These mechanisms allow the devices to be inserted into and removed from the main body recess 4 in a stacked state. In this case, if the engaging part 24 is concave and the locking part 10' is convex, it is desirable to arrange the main body including the locking part 10 at a position that avoids being directly under the projecting piece 8.

9 to 12 show an embodiment in which the inner plate insertion/removal port 6 is surrounded by a flexible cover 26 made of soft synthetic resin, etc. It has a width corresponding to , and has fixing protrusions 27, 27 formed on the upper part, and stopper protrusions 28, 28 on both sides of the lower part.

The fixing protrusions 27, 27 are fixed by being press-fitted into a hole 29 provided between the hinge protrusions 21, 21 of the lid body 2.

Further, the stopper convex portions 28, 28 are formed under the bottom plate portion 11 of the main body 1, and the stopper grooves 30, 3 are formed under the bottom plate portion 11 of the main body 1.
0 to prevent it from coming off.

Note that what is illustrated is an example of the present invention, and it goes without saying that various other embodiments may be adopted. That is, the inner plates 3 may be arranged in double rows, and in this case, a partition wall with a slide guide may be formed in the recess 4. Furthermore, the inner plate 3 does not necessarily have to have the same thickness as a whole; for example, the portion between the projecting pieces 8 may be made thicker so as to match the upper surface level of the main body. Alternatively, the protrusions 8, 8 may be provided in the middle of the recess in the depth direction, and grooves may be formed at the same level on both sides of the inner plate. Further, the flexible cover 26 may be joined to the lid 2 by high frequency welding or the like.

In other drawings, 31 is a pivot pin.

[Effect of the embodiment]

To install the inner plate 3, attach the lid 2 as shown in Figure 1.
Open the hinge convex portion 21, as shown in FIG.
What is necessary is to insert the inner plate 3 into the recess 4 through the space 22 between 21 and the inner plate insertion/removal opening 6, grasp the operating part 23, and push it in. As a result, the inner plate 3 slides while being guided on both sides in the width direction by the slide guide parts 9, 9 until the tip comes into contact with the stop wall 5, and in this process, the stop parts 10, 10 at the bottom of the recess have a spring property. It is pushed downward by the bottom of the inner plate and elastically deforms, and at the same time the tip of the inner plate contacts the stop wall 5, the engaging portion 24,
24 is reached, so restore it and snap the locking parts 10, 1.
0, and the inner plate 3 is firmly fixed. That is, in the width direction, the slide guide parts 9, 9
Therefore, the thickness direction is regulated by the projecting pieces 8, 8, and the front-rear direction is regulated by the engagement between the stop wall 5 and the engaging/locking portion. All that is left to do is to close the lid 2 and it becomes a compact container.

Since the compact container is carried in a handbag or the like, it is subjected to pressure from various directions including the left-right direction, front-back direction, and thickness direction, and comes into contact with other objects due to displacement. In this case, if the inner plate is structured to slide left and right, there is a risk that the fixation will be released unexpectedly, but in this invention, the inner plate 3 can be inserted and removed by sliding toward the hinge side. The insertion/removal port is located on the hinge convex portions 7, 7, 21, 2.
Since it is hidden deep inside the inner plate, it is safe from pressure or displacement, and since you cannot insert your fingers into it, it is also effective against pranks caused by children, and there is no need to worry about the inner plate accidentally coming off. Also, since the insertion/removal part is on the hinge side, there are no cuts or steps for the inner tray sliding mechanism on either side of the main body, giving it an excellent appearance.

When replacing the inner plate 3, open the lid 2, pinch and pull out the operating part 23, and the engaging part 2
4 and 24 are detached from the locking parts 10 and 10 of the main body 1, so that the inner plate 3 can be easily taken out and replaced.

Note that when the configuration is as shown in Figure 8, 2
The two thin parts 3a and 3b can be inserted and removed as a unit, and when taken out, they are separated into two parts, so two types of cosmetics can be freely used by switching the top and bottom, combining them, and sliding them again.

According to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the intrusion of dust and dirt can be prevented, and the appearance can be further improved.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention described above, a compact with an exchangeable inner plate has a front end closed by a stopper wall 5 at the center of the plane, a pair of slide guide parts 9 on both sides in the width direction, and a hinge side at the rear end. A main body 1 is formed with a recess 4 for storing an inner plate having an inner plate insertion/ejection opening 6 which is always open, and has hinge protrusions 7, 7 on both sides of the inner plate insertion/ejection opening 6 which protrude rearwardly. , a hinge protrusion 2 that does not form a pair with the hinge protrusions 7, 7 and has a width that does not reach the inner plate insertion/ejection opening.
a lid body 2 pivotally supported on the main body 1 by 1 and 21;
A flat inner plate 3 that is slidably fitted into the recess 4 and has a bottom portion with springy locking portions 10 provided on the surface of the recess and engaging portions 24, 24 that are removable.
As a result, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

The overall thickness can be made almost the same as that of a device that does not have an exchangeable inner plate.

That is, the recess 4 for storing the inner plate is open at the rear end of the main body located between the hinge protrusions 21 and 21 of the lid body 2, and the inner plate 3 is opened within the thickness (height) range of the hinge part. can be inserted and removed, and since the inner plate 3 only needs to be an extremely thin plate that does not include anything like a body frame, the overall thickness can be reduced.

It looks good and has a simple structure.

That is, since the inner plate 3 does not constitute the frame part of the main body 1 by itself, a simple thin plate is sufficient. Therefore, the inner plate, which is a consumable part, can have a simple and inexpensive structure. 3 is housed in the recess 4 and the lid body 2 is opened, there are no cuts or steps of the inner plate sliding mechanism on the main body part (frame part) that is easily accessible to the public, making it seem as if the inner plate is not replaceable. It can be shaped like a regular compact. Therefore, appearance and beauty, which are important for cosmetic containers, can be improved.

Not only can the removal of the inner plate 3 be prevented when the lid body 2 is closed, but also the inner plate 3 can be prevented from being accidentally removed even if pressing force is applied to the main body 1 from the left and right or from the front with the lid body 2 open. It doesn't come off.

That is, the engaging parts 24, 24 are engaged with the locking parts 10, 10 having spring properties, and the recessed part 4 is engaged with the engaging parts 24, 24.
When the lid body 2 is closed, it is impossible to pull out the inner tray 3 because the insertion/removal port is located inside the hinge part.
Since there are no protrusions or the like that would cause the inner plate 3 to come off in the left-right direction, there is no fear that the inner plate will come off inadvertently even if pressing force or rubbing force is applied, and the lid 2 can be opened. However, since the inner plate 3 is surrounded by the main body 1, the inner plate will not come off accidentally even if an external force is applied from the left, right or front.
