Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a compact container containing cosmetics.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a push button was attached to the locking mechanism of a compact container as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 18166/1983.
Publication No. 60-164304, Publication No. 57-54728, etc.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the device described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-18166 has both ends of a flexible push button 15 pivoted to the tip of the container body 1, This is a compact container in which the push button 15 is pressed to curve inward, the locking tools 12 and 23 are released, and the lid 20 is opened.

What is described in Utility Model Publication No. 164304,
As illustrated in FIG.
is slidably fitted, and by sliding the frame 31, the locking piece 22 of the lid body 20 is pushed up with the inclined contact surface 16, and the locking tools 12 and 23 are released to open the lid. It is a compact container designed to

The compact container described in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-54728 has a vertical first slit extending along the front edge of the container, which communicates with the first slit. A second slit in the horizontal direction is formed, and by this slit,
An operating edge that serves as a push button and an inclined part that supports the operating edge from below are formed on the front edge of the container, and the operating edge is pushed in the horizontal direction to push up the claw piece of the lid. It is.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the conventional device shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the lid 20 is pushed up by pressing the push button 15 or the frame 31, and the locking tools 12, 23 are pushed up. It is convenient to open the lid by releasing it.

However, in the conventional devices shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the push button 15 is formed separately and is pivoted to the container body 1, and in the conventional device shown in FIG. A frame 31 is slidably fitted onto a main body 30, and both have complicated structures.

The compact container described in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-54728 is bent by pushing the entire center of the operating edge, which serves as a push button, so the operating edge must be made long. No.

In this case, the central portion of the operating edge becomes easily bent downwardly as well. Therefore, the above-mentioned Jikko 57
The compact container disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 54728 requires an inclined portion that supports the operating edge portion below. and,
In order to form the operating edge and the inclined portion, a second horizontal slit is required, making the mold for molding complicated and expensive.

This invention was made in view of the above matters,
A technical problem is to provide a compact container having a simple push button mechanism and a simple mold for manufacturing.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention consists of a container body 1 made of synthetic resin and a lid body 2.
The base of the container body 1 and the lid body 20 have locking tools 12 and 2 attached to the tip thereof.
3 and a push button 15 for releasing the locking tools 12, 23, the end wall 13 is integrally connected to the front part of the container body 1 via a pair of connecting pieces 17. a pair of vertical slits 14 provided in the end wall 13;
Accordingly, a push button 15 having elasticity that extends in the vertical direction is provided, and both sides of the lower side are integrally connected to the end wall 13 and extend in the vertical direction. At least one of the abutting surfaces 24 of the lid 20 that abuts the abutting surface 16 is formed into an inclined surface inclined in a direction to push up the lid 20 to obtain a compact container.

[Effect]

In the present invention, when the push button 15 of the compact container in the closed state is pressed, the push button 15 is only connected to the end wall 13 at both sides of the lower side by a pair of vertical slits 14. Therefore, the head of the push button 15 easily tilts toward the contact surface 24 of the lid 20, the lid 20 is pushed up by the contact surfaces 16 and 24, and the locking tools 12 and 23 are released and the lid is opened. . Since the push button 15 is formed integrally with the container body 1, it remains upright and does not wobble even when inactive.

Furthermore, since there is no horizontal slit in the portion forming the push button 15 of the present invention, the mold for molding is also simple.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which a container body 1 is composed of an outer body 2 and an inner plate 10. The outer body 2 is made of synthetic resin and has inner plates 6 on both sides, which are held by the inner plate 10. The outer body 2 is also formed with a small hole 7 and a protrusion protruding from the lower surface of the inner plate 10. (not shown) is fitted into the front wall 4, and a cutout 5 is formed in the front wall 4. The inner tray 10 made of synthetic resin includes a cosmetic storage section 18 and a locking tool 1 on the front wall 11.
2 is formed, and in front of the wall 11, an end wall 13 is formed integrally with the front wall 11 via a pair of connecting pieces 17, 17. A pair of slits 14, 14 are inserted in both sides of the end wall 13 to near the lower side, and a push button 15 extending in the vertical direction is formed, and the push button 15 is formed to have elasticity. Further, on the rear side of the head of the push button 15, an abutment surface 16 is formed as an inclined surface that slopes downward.

In addition, the bases of the outer body 2 and the lid body 20 are connected to the hinge 2.
A locking piece 22 is provided hanging down from the tip of the lid body 20, and a locking tool 23 is formed at the tip of the lid body 20, and the locking tool 12 of the inner plate 10 and It is designed to lock. and. A contact surface 24 that contacts the contact surface 16 of the push button 15 formed on the inner plate 10 is formed on the front part of the lid body 20, and this contact surface 24 matches the contact surface 16, When the push button 15 is pressed and tilted, the lid 20 is pushed up.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, and the same parts as in the previous embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and the explanation thereof is omitted.

In the previous embodiment, the container body 1 was formed by matching the separately formed outer body 2 and the inner plate 10, but in this embodiment, the entire container body 1 is formed integrally.

[Effect of idea]

The compact container of the present invention has an end wall 13 integrally connected to a container body 1 made of synthetic resin, and a pair of vertical slits 1 provided in the end wall 13.
4, both sides of the lower side are integrally connected to the end wall 13, and a push button 15 having elasticity extending in the vertical direction is provided.

As described above, in the present invention, the push button 15, which is provided integrally with the container body 1, is formed into a push button 15 whose lower side parts are integrally connected to the end wall 13 through the slits 14. The button 15 is formed so that its head can be tilted around its lower side. Therefore, even if the width of the push button 15 is made small, the push button 15 becomes a push button 15 that can be easily tilted with a small force, and the lid body 20 can be easily pushed up.

As described above, since the width of the push button 15 can be made small, even if the push button 15 is pressed down by the reaction force when the cover body 20 is pushed up with the push button 15, the center part of the push button 15 is The lid 20 can be reliably pushed up without being bent downward.

Furthermore, since the slit 14 forming the push button 15 of the present invention is a vertical slit and not a horizontal slit, the mold for molding can be made simple and can be formed at low cost. be.
