Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the open/close cover of a cosmetic storage container from being further opened at a given angular position during an opening process by releasing a lock mechanism, opening the cover automatically to the prescribed angle via the operation of an open/close cover automatic releasing mechanism, and then resetting the lock mechanism to actuate a stopping mechanism. CONSTITUTION:When the control button 37 of a lock mechanism 34 is pressed and locked for an unlocking operation, the operation piece 41 of a stopping mechanism 39 works in such a way as causing a stopper piece 40 in contact with a hinge member mounting section 11 to part therefrom. An open/close cover 5 is automatically opened to the prescribed angle, due to the operation of a hinge member 6 having an open/close cover automatic releasing mechanism. Also, when it is desired to stop the cover 5 during an automatic opening process, the control button 37 of the lock mechanism 34 is released. An unlocking member 38 is thereby reset and the operation piece 41 of the stopping mechanism 39 also returns to an original position. As a result, the end of the stopper piece 40 comes in contact with the hinge member mounting section 11, due to the resilient force thereof, and an operation to opening the cover 5 is thereby stopped.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic storage container, which is generally called compact, for storing cosmetics such as foundations.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional compact is a storage container body in which a foundation is stored, and a mirror is attached to an inner wall surface of the storage container body which is attached to the storage container body via a hinge member to open and close the opening. Opening / closing lid, an engagement hole formed in a substantially central portion near the open end of the opening / closing lid, and the engagement hole formed in the storage container main body at a portion corresponding to the engagement hole. It is composed of a hook having an operation piece capable of engaging with it, and an inner plate which supports a puff rotatably mounted between the storage container body and the opening / closing lid.

[0003]

In the conventional compact, the main body of the storage container is supported by one hand, and the rear part having the hinge member is supported by the fingertips other than the thumb of the other hand, and then the operation piece is operated by the thumb. The hook must be disengaged from the engagement hole, and the thumb must be slid upward to hold the open end of the open / close lid and rotate upward to open the open / close lid. After removing the puff from the dish, the middle dish had to be opened manually.

Therefore, when the operation piece is operated with the thumb to release the engagement with the engaging hole of the hook, the opening / closing lid is automatically opened slightly, and the hook is again opened even if the operation piece is released. Since a hinge member that slightly pushes up the opening / closing lid must be used so that the engaging hole and the engaging hole do not engage with each other, there are drawbacks that the cost is high and the mounting is troublesome. Also, opening and closing the lid must be done manually,
There was a drawback that the work was troublesome.

In view of the above conventional drawbacks, the present invention has been made
The opening / closing lid can be automatically opened to a predetermined angle,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic storage container which can stop the opening of the opening / closing lid at an arbitrary angular position on the way and which is easy to operate and easy to use.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a storage container main body having a recess for storing cosmetics such as cosmetics, and a hinge member for rotating the storage container main body via a hinge member. A cosmetic storage container comprising an opening / closing lid capable of opening and closing the opening of the storage container main body movably attached so as to be able to open and close, and a lock mechanism for holding the closed state of the opening and closing lid. An automatic opening / closing lid opening mechanism is provided that automatically opens the opening / closing lid at a predetermined angle when the mechanism is released, and the opening / closing lid is automatically opened when the lock mechanism is released, and the opening / closing lid is opened when the release operation is released. A cosmetic storage container is configured with a stop mechanism that stops the product.

[0007]

When the cosmetic storage container configured as described above is operated to release the lock mechanism, the opening / closing lid is automatically opened to a predetermined angle by the operation of the opening / closing lid automatic opening mechanism. Further, when the operation for releasing the lock mechanism is released, the stop mechanism operates to stop the automatic opening of the opening / closing lid.
