An adhesive tape intervenes, and the adhesive force is used to fix the decorative plate inside the container body.On the other hand, when removing the decorative plate from the container body, a needle or the like is inserted from the back into the through hole formed on the bottom surface of the container body. There is one that is inserted and pressed to remove the decorative plate upward.

In addition, there is one in which undercuts are provided on the surfaces of the decorative plate and the container body that come into contact with each other so that they can be attached and detached by fitting the concave and convex portions to each other.

<< Problems to be Solved by the Invention >> However, the conventional compact container described above has a problem that it is difficult to adjust the strength of bonding or fitting. That is, with the method using adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape, if the adhesive strength is too strong, it becomes difficult to peel off the decorative plate when exchanging the decorative plate, and if it is too weak, it separates from the container body with a slight vibration when carrying it. There is a risk of
Further, when the makeup tray is exchanged several times, there is a problem that the cosmetic material scatters and adheres to the adhesive surface of the container body and the adhesive strength is significantly reduced. Also, with the undercut fitting method, it is difficult to adjust the fitting strength as with the above adhesive method, and if the fitting is too strong, it becomes difficult to attach and remove the decorative plate and when the decorative plate gets over the undercut. There is a possibility that the cosmetic plate itself may be deformed by the impact of the above and the cosmetic material inside may be broken, and if it is too weak, the cosmetic plate will easily come off even with a light impact.

The length of the dish frame 30 in the front-rear direction is shorter than the length of the inner wall of the container body 10 in the front-rear direction, and the length in the left-right direction is the container body 1.
It is almost the same as that of the inner wall of 0 and can be stored in a square shape.
An opening 31 for accommodating the decorative plate 40 is provided inside, and the upper surfaces of both side walls are in the shape of an eave and slightly project outward. An inverted L-shaped slit extending upward from the bottom and further rearward is provided at the center of both side walls of the dish frame 30, and thereby flexible pieces 32-32 are formed. This flexible piece 3
No. 2 is thinner than the other side wall parts, and has flexibility such that the front end side can bend inward with the rear part as a fulcrum, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 in the unloaded state. The front end is slightly inclined outward. A hook-shaped projection 33 is integrally provided on the inner surface of the upper end of the flexible piece 32. An engaging projection 34 is integrally formed on the outer surface of the upper end of the flexible piece 32 so as to correspond to the engaging recess 17 of the container body 10. Further, a projection 35 is provided on the bottom surface side of the flexible piece 32 so that it can be fitted into the guide groove 18 of the container body 10.

Further, projecting pieces 36-36 are formed at lower portions on both sides of the outer wall of the dish frame 30 so as to correspond to the guide grooves 19 of the container body 10. The length of the guide groove 19 is about twice as long as that of the convex piece.

The decorative plate 40 has an outer shape that can be stored in the opening 31 of the plate frame 30, and grooves 41 that can be engaged with the hook-shaped protrusions 33 of the flexible piece 32 are provided on both outer surfaces thereof.

The decorative plate 40 is stored in the opening 31 of the plate frame 30 configured as described above, and the plate frame 30 is horizontally placed in the empty space 15 of the container body 10 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. Push it in, and put the protruding pieces 36-36 on the outer wall of the dish frame 30 into the container body 1.
