Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention relates to a compact container, and more specifically, the container body and the lid are hinged at the rear ends of each so that they can be opened and closed. The present invention relates to a compact container in which a cosmetic plate filled with cosmetics is detachably stored and fixed in the container body.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, in this type of compact container, an adhesive such as PETO or DOUBLE FACE was used between the container body and the cosmetic plate in order to store and fix the cosmetic plate filled with cosmetics inside the container body. A double-sided adhesive tape is used to fix the decorative plate inside the container body using its adhesive strength.On the other hand, when removing the decorative plate from the container body, insert a double-sided adhesive tape from the back side into the through hole formed on the bottom of the container body. Some devices are designed to be removed by inserting a needle or the like and pressing the decorative plate upwards.

In addition, there are some devices in which undercuts are provided on the contact surfaces of the decorative plate and the container body, so that attachment and detachment can be performed by fitting the concave and convex portions into each other.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, the conventional compact container described above has the problem that it is difficult to adjust the strength of adhesion or fitting. In other words, with methods that use adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape, if the adhesive strength is too strong, it will be difficult to remove the decorative plate when replacing it, and if it is too weak, it will separate from the container body with the slightest vibration when being carried. There is a fear. Furthermore, when the cosmetic plate is replaced several times, the cosmetic material scatters and adheres to the adhesive surface of the container body, resulting in a significant decrease in adhesive strength. In addition, with the undercut fitting method, it is difficult to adjust the fitting strength as with the adhesive method described above, and if the fitting is too strong,
Not only will it be difficult to attach and remove the vanity plate, but the impact of the vanity plate going over the undercut may deform the vanity plate itself and break the cosmetics inside.If it is too weak, the vanity plate will easily come off even with a light impact. When I did that, a problem arose.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to make it possible to replace a vanity plate filled with cosmetics extremely easily and without damaging the filled cosmetics, and to avoid shocks. To provide a compact container in which there is no fear that a decorative plate may be accidentally removed.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in the compact container according to the present invention, a pan frame is slidably housed in the container body, and a presser piece is provided on the side wall of the pan frame inwardly. An engaging protrusion is provided on at least one of the outer surface of the presser piece and the inner side of the container body adjacent thereto, and when the decorative plate is stored in the tray frame, the presser piece is attached to the decorative plate. When the tray frame is slid within the container body, the holding piece is moved inward by the action of the engagement protrusion, and the decorative plate stored in the tray frame is held close to the outside wall of the container. It becomes fixed.
