Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a compact container, and more specifically, a container body and a lid are hinged so that they can be opened and closed at their rear portions. Form a recess at the front edge of
The push piece is slidably assembled back and forth in the recess, and the push piece is always urged forward by the elastic means, and the claw piece is hung down on the front end edge of the lid body so that the claw piece is closed when the lid body is closed. Relates to a compact container in which the push piece is disengaged from the claw piece when the push piece is pressed rearward inward.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, as a compact container of this type, the actual utility model Sho 58-
Containers such as those shown in 25938 are known. In this known compact container, a recess is formed in the peripheral edge of the container body, and a push piece having a claw piece protruding from the end face is slidably accommodated in the recess, and the outer wall surface of the claw piece moves forward. The first projection protruding toward the first projection is formed, and the push piece is always urged forward, and the second projection protruding rearward toward the first projection is formed on the claw piece hanging from the peripheral edge of the lid. When the lid is closed with respect to the container body, the second projection of the lid rides over the front surface of the first projection of the push piece and is positioned below the first projection to engage, and from this state, the push piece moves inward. When pressed to, the first protrusion immediately separates from the rear of the second protrusion to disengage them from each other, and the lid is opened.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in this known compact container, when the push piece is pushed inward, the projection of the push piece immediately separates rearward from the projection of the lid body, so that the lid body is erroneously closed. When the container is dropped by means of impact, if the push piece is slid even a little due to impact, the engagement is disengaged and the lid is opened, so that there is a problem that the content cosmetic material is scattered outside the container.

In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, the engagement between the first protrusion and the second protrusion is strengthened by strengthening the elastic body that always urges the push piece outward. However, a strong pressing force is required to disengage the elastic body by the amount corresponding to the strengthening of the elastic body, which reduces usability. In addition, in order to strengthen the engagement between the first and second protrusions, the protrusion amount of each protrusion in the front-rear direction is increased to prevent the engagement from being disengaged. There is a problem in that usability is reduced because a large amount of force is required to close the lid due to the large amount of interference.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to ensure the engagement between the push piece and the lid body, and to easily open and close the lid body, and to prevent the lid body from being damaged by an impact. An object is to provide a compact container that does not have a risk of accidental disengagement.

<< Means for Solving the Problem >> In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a first engaging convex portion projecting laterally is provided at the lower end portion of the claw piece of the lid, and the push piece is projecting. A second engaging protrusion that protrudes in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of the first engaging protrusion is formed at the upper end of the protruding claw, and the push piece is When the lid is closed by the elastic means while occupying the front position, the first engaging protrusion engages with the second engaging protrusion so that the lid occupies the locking position. When the push piece is pushed rearward from the locking position, the second engagement protrusion slides rearward on the upper surface of the first engagement protrusion, and the front end surface of the protruding claw piece serves as the lid. The locking of the first and second engaging convex portions is released when the rear end surface of the claw piece is crossed.

Forming a second engaging protrusion protruding in a direction opposite to the protruding direction of the portion,
When the lid is closed while the push piece is occupying the front position by the elastic means, the first engaging protrusion is moved to the second engaging protrusion.
When the push piece is pushed rearward from the locking position by locking the lid with the engaging projection of the second engaging convex part, the second engaging convex part causes the first engaging convex part to move. When the front end surface of the protruding claw piece crosses the rear end surface of the claw piece of the lid by sliding rearward on the upper surface of the portion, the locking of the first and second engaging convex portions is released. Therefore, the engagement between the first engagement protrusion and the second engagement protrusion can be released only when the push piece is pushed in with a relatively large stroke, and thus the lid body is released. When the container is accidentally dropped, or if the container is accidentally dropped or if there is a slight vibration when carrying, the engagement will disengage and the lid will open, which may cause the cosmetic plate to come off from the container body. It will disappear. Moreover, since it is not necessary to increase the outward biasing force of the push piece, the user can easily push in the push piece and open the lid without receiving a load on the finger.
