[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in a compact container in which the lid is always urged to open by this type of leaf spring, the leaf spring is simply attached by fitting one end of the leaf spring into a fitting hole provided in the rear end wall of the container body. Since it can be pulled out, it is difficult to hold the leaf spring and there is a risk of it coming off. Furthermore, when the lid is opened, the leaf spring can be seen and the aesthetic appearance is spoiled.

Further, in this type of compact container, when the lid body is attached to the rear end portion of the container body via the leaf spring in the assembly process, the leaf spring lifts the lid body rear end portion from the container body, and Therefore, the lid may come off from the container body before the pivot shaft of the lid is pivotally supported by the pin in the lid mounting recess at the rear end of the container body. Since the pin hole positions must be aligned each time the tapping operation is performed, the assembly process is extremely troublesome.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made as a result of various examinations in view of the present situation. A recess for mounting a lid is provided at the rear end, and a hanging hole for fitting a hanging piece of an inverted L-shaped leaf spring and a horizontal piece are provided on the rear end wall. Fitting a groove on the back end wall, a protrusion protruding from the upper part of the rear end wall into the lid mounting recess, and a hook engaging part at the tip, and a leaf spring hanging piece on the rear end wall of the container body. Inverted L-shaped leaf spring attached to the container body by fitting the hanging piece and the horizontal piece into the hole and the horizontal piece fitting groove, and the lid body pivotally supported in the lid mounting recess. The shaft is integrally hung on the lower surface of the rear end, and at the upper end adjacent to the lid of the lid rotation shaft, there is provided a recess into which a protrusion protruding from the upper part of the rear end wall of the container main body is fitted, Inside the place, there is a protrusion that abuts on the upper surface of the horizontal piece of the leaf spring, and a hook that engages with the hook engagement part of the container body at the tip end. A brim edge that covers the lid mounting recess at the rear end is extended to the rear upper end, and a leaf spring horizontal piece abutment protrusion provided in the recess of the lid pivot shaft can pass through this brim edge. By forming a compact container with the inner plate that has the groove and the material storage part is stored in the container body, the leaf spring can be easily held without coming off. Sometimes the leaf springs are invisible so as not to spoil the aesthetics.

Further, in the assembly process, when the lid body is attached to the rear end portion of the container body via the leaf spring so as to open and close freely, the leaf spring causes the rear end portion of the lid body to float up from the container body. The lid rotation axis is locked by the protrusion protruding from the upper part of the lid mounting recess to prevent it, and as it is, assembling can be done by just a pin driving operation with a pin driving machine. The assembly process is extremely easy and efficient.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the compact container of the present invention, the brim edge that covers the lid mounting recess at the rear end of the container main body is extended above the rear end of the middle plate to be stored in the container main body. Since the flange is provided with a groove through which the horizontal piece abutment protrusion of the leaf spring provided in the recess of the lid rotation shaft can pass, the leaf spring attached to the rear end wall of the container body is It is supported by a brim that covers the lid mounting recess of the inner plate so that it cannot be pulled out, and the leaf spring does not come off. Further, even if the lid is opened, the leaf spring is not visible from the outside due to the brim of the inner plate, and the appearance is not impaired.

In addition, in the assembly process, since the protrusion that is provided in the lid mounting recess of the container body prevents the lid rotating shaft from sliding upward, the rear end of the lid body is prevented. It does not float up from the container body, and the lid is held safely in a horizontal state. In this state, the pin hammering operation is performed and the assembly is completed. Therefore, the lid does not come off from the container body until the lid is pivotally supported by the pin in the lid mounting recess at the rear end of the container body. Since it is not necessary to align the pin hole positions each time the assembly is performed, the assembly process is extremely easy and efficient.

Further, the protrusion provided in the lid mounting recess of the container body prevents the lid pivot shaft from sliding upward, and at the same time, the elastic force of the leaf spring slides upward. Since the rotating shaft of the lid you are trying to press is in pressure contact, even if the elastic force of the leaf spring suddenly acts to open the lid when you open the lid, the pressure contact force from this protrusion controls it appropriately. It can be opened quietly. Therefore, the shock when the lid is suddenly opened is relieved, and the stored cosmetics do not pop out or the compact container is dropped due to the reaction when the lid is opened.
