Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a compact container that stores cosmetic puffs and cosmetics, and that achieves drying of the cosmetic puffs and has a good appearance.

[Conventional technology]

Some cosmetics are applied with a cosmetic puff moistened with sufficient water before use. Therefore, as a compact container, it has a part that stores the cosmetic puff and the cosmetic that are closely related to each other in use, and is composed of three members that are assembled together with the lid via a hinge. ing.

By the way, the cosmetic puff using a sponge or the like must be thoroughly dried after use from the viewpoint of hygiene. Therefore, if you simply squeeze it after use, water will remain, so if you put it in the cosmetic puff storage part as it was, the drying was insufficient.

With respect to this point, it is also considered that a ventilation hole is formed in the bottom wall portion of the cosmetic puff storage portion to ventilate the inside.
Since the bottom wall portion of the makeup puff storage portion is the placement portion of the makeup puff, when a vent is opened in this bottom wall portion,
This ventilation hole was blocked by the placed cosmetic puff, and the stored cosmetic puff could not be dried satisfactorily.

For this reason, there is an improved vent structure so that it will not be blocked even if a cosmetic puff is placed on it, and some that can achieve extremely good cosmetic puff drying are also used. It has the disadvantage that the structure of the main body, which is the main body of the container, becomes complicated and the manufacturing cost increases.

In addition, if the bottom wall part has a vent hole, the makeup puff after use should be squeezed sufficiently and the water content must be made sufficiently small so that the moisture remaining in the makeup puff will not reach its own weight. As a result, there is a problem that the cosmetic puff flows down in the form of water droplets and then flows out of the compact container as it is to wet other articles. Therefore, it is necessary to handle the cosmetic puff with great care. Was there.

Furthermore, since many vents are visible as the appearance of a compact container, it is unsatisfactory as a compact container whose appearance is important.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In view of such a point, in a compact container including a lid body, an inner frame body, and a main body, in the closed state of the lid body and the inner frame body, the lower surface side end portion of the lid body and the inner frame body are Between the top side edge,
A makeup formed by forming a groove open to the side and forming a middle frame body and a main body at a side end portion of the middle frame body, and forming a middle frame body and a main body at a side end portion of the middle frame body. The applicant has previously proposed a device in which a ventilation hole that communicates the puff storage space with the outside is formed (Practical application 60-10793).

This device has a great effect and is extremely effective in eliminating the above-mentioned conventional defects and inconveniences.

However, this product lacks stability in the impression received from the exterior due to the groove that is opened to the side in the closed state, and the vent holes formed at the side edges of the middle frame body are conspicuous when opened. There was some dissatisfaction, mainly in terms of appearance, such that the feeling of use deteriorated.

The present invention relates to a compact container designed to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and inconveniences and to satisfy dissatisfaction, and reliably achieves drying of a cosmetic puff stored while containing water, Moreover, the purpose is to improve the appearance.

[Means for solving problems]

The compact container of the present invention comprises a middle frame 1, a main body 9 and a lid 14
It is composed of and, and these rear ends are connected by a hinge.

The middle frame 1 has a configuration in which a tapered wall 4 that spreads downward is continuously provided on the upper edge of the bottomed cylindrical wall 2, and a flat collar 5 is provided around the lower edge of the tapered wall 4. Horizontally elongated slits 6 are formed on both sides of the lower end of the wall 4, and a drum 19 containing cosmetics is fitted into the cylindrical wall 2.

The main body 9 has a bottomed short tubular shape located below the above-mentioned middle frame 1, and forms a makeup puff storage space 12 between the main frame 9 and the middle frame 1 with the compact container closed. Its surrounding wall 10
The upper end surface of is capable of contacting the lower surface of the collar type 5 described above.

The lid body 14 has a shape of a short cylinder with a top located above the middle frame body 1 and closes the upper end opening of the tubular mold 2 in a state where the compact container is closed, and the wall thereof is closed. Part 15
The lower surface of the wall can come into contact with the upper surface of the collar wall 5, and a horizontally elongated ventilation cutout 16 is provided at the lower end portion of the wall portion 15 facing the slit 6. Has been.

With the inner frame 1, the main body 9 and the lid 14 closed, the inner frame 1
The flange type 5 is sandwiched by the wall portion 15 of the lid body 14 and the peripheral wall 10 of the main body 9 from above and below over substantially the entire circumference, and the upper end opening portion of the cylindrical wall 2 is closed by the lid body 14.

In this case, a ventilation notch 16 is provided at the lower end of the wall portion 15 of the lid body 14, slits 6 are opened at both sides of the lower end portion of the tapered wall 4 of the middle frame body 1, and the ventilation notch 16 faces the slit 6. The puff storage space for makeup 12
Communicates with the outside through the slit 6 and the ventilation notch 16,
The air permeability of the makeup puff storage space 12 is secured.

[Action]

In the compact container having the above-described structure, the main body 9 for accommodating the cosmetic puff is closed by closing the inner frame 1, and the accommodating space 12 for the cosmetic puff is formed therein as described above. The taper wall 4 of the frame 1 has slits 6,
The wall portion 15 of the lid 14 faces the slit 6 and has a ventilation cutout.
Since 16 are provided respectively, the storage space 12 communicates with the outside, and the moisture of the makeup puff is released to the outside from the slit 6 and the ventilation notch 16 to achieve the drying of the makeup puff. To do.

In this case, since the slit 6 and the ventilation cutout 16 are opened to the side of the container, the makeup puff stored in the storage space 12 is not sufficiently drained, and the water in the makeup puff is owing to its own weight. Even if it falls in the form of water droplets, the water that has flowed does not flow out of the compact container, and thus does not wet surrounding articles.

Further, the slit 6 and the ventilation notch 16 are not formed in the main body 9 which is a main part forming the appearance of the compact container, but are formed in the lid 14 or the middle frame 1 acting as a functional part. Therefore, the compact container can be easily and satisfactorily molded without deteriorating the appearance of the compact container. In the closed state of the compact container, the laterally elongated ventilation cutout 16 is formed on the outer peripheral end surface of the collar wall 5. Since they are located adjacent to each other on the side outer peripheral surface of the compact container in the form of horizontal strips, their presence does not stand out as an appearance, and there is no fear of impairing the appearance of the compact container.

The portion of the middle frame 1 where the slit 6 is opened is the tapered wall 4 and has an inclined posture, so that the appearance is good even when the lid 14 is opened and used. It has become. That is, since the slit 6 is formed in a laterally elongated shape, it is almost visually recognized as a thick line, and since the upper and lower edges of the tapered wall 4 are located laterally in the vicinity of the side, the horizontal thick line formed by the slit 6 is formed. -Like parts are not conspicuous and the appearance is not deteriorated.

Further, since the tapered wall 4 is continuously connected to the upper end peripheral edge of the bottomed cylindrical wall 2 in a form of spreading downward, a lightening 8 is formed between the bottomed cylindrical wall 2 and the tapered wall 4. Therefore, the material cost can be reduced, the weight can be reduced, and the size can be limited, but the makeup puff storage space 12 formed by the main body 9 and the middle frame 1 can be widened. This makes it easier to dry the cosmetic puff.
