Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a compact in which a plurality of inner plates can be detachably accommodated in an outer container.

[Conventional technology]

In general, a cosmetic compact is configured by accommodating an inner plate filled with a cosmetic material inside an outer container including a container body and a lid. As such a compact,
There is something like the one shown in the figure. That is, in the figure, 1
Is a container body, and one large concave portion 2 for accommodating a makeup brush or the like (not shown) and three small concave portions 4 for accommodating the inner tray 3 are provided on the upper surface. The front and rear wall surfaces of the small concave portion 4 are provided with notches 5 for engagement, and by engaging the protrusions 6 for engagement with the notches 5, the middle plate 3 is made smaller. It is adapted to be detachably mounted in the recess 4. In addition, the above middle plate 3
A flange portion 7 is provided at the upper end edge portion of the, so that the inner tray 3 can be easily removed from the container body 1. Reference numeral 8 is a lid that covers the container body 1.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in such a compact as described above, since the accommodating portion for the makeup brush and the accommodating portion for the inner plate 3 are formed by the concave portions, the number of partition walls formed between the concave portions is increased, and the structure of the container body 1 is increased. It's complicated. Further, in order to facilitate the removal of the inner plate 3 from the container body 1, the width of the flange portion 7 is made larger than the thickness of the partition wall between the large concave portion 2 and the small concave portion 4, and the flange portion 7 The edge must be projected toward the large concave portion 4 side. Therefore, there is a problem in that the inner plate 3 has a large amount of useless portions other than the storage portion for the cosmetics.

Therefore, as a container body is formed in a dish shape and a housing for a makeup brush and a cosmetic container is provided by using a plate-shaped side wall that is erected in the container body, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-130504. The compact container shown in is disclosed. That is, this one is composed of a main body container having a lid and a cosmetic container, and in the main body container, a plurality of recesses are formed which are partitioned by a front side wall and a side wall orthogonal to the side wall. , The elongated sidewalls are formed on the left and right side surfaces or one side surface of the orthogonal side walls, and the left and right side wall surfaces of the cosmetic container are provided with protruding ridges that can be fitted into the elongated recessed portions, and the cosmetic container is divided into the compartments. The elongated concave portion and the ridge are engaged with the concave portion so as to be detachably accommodated.

However, in this structure, since the elongated recesses formed on the side surfaces of the orthogonal side walls are simply engaged with the protrusions protruding from the side surface of the cosmetic container, The engagement of the cosmetic container becomes weak. Therefore, when the compact container is pulled back during transportation, the engagement is disengaged, and the cosmetic container comes out of the defined concave portion and hits the mirror attached to the back surface of the lid,
There are problems that the mirror is damaged and the cosmetic in the cosmetic container is cracked. Moreover, due to variations in the dimensional accuracy of the cosmetic container, for example, when the cosmetic container is made a little small and the engagement becomes loose,
There is a problem that the above engagement is more likely to be disengaged, and the above problems are more likely to occur.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the number of partition walls between the accommodating portions can be reduced. Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a compact that does not damage the mirror or the like attached to the back surface of the lid even if it is flipped over during transportation.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the compact of the present invention is a compact including an outer container including a container body and a lid, and an inner tray housed in the container body. At least one partition piece is extended toward the center side of the container body, and notch holes are provided in the left and right inner wall surfaces of the container body and the partition piece facing the left and right side surfaces of the partition body, respectively. A plurality of middle plates having notches formed in substantially U-shape on both right and left side walls, and the side wall portion surrounded by the U-shape formed on an elastic piece with a ridge, the both ridges facing each other. By engaging with the notched hole in the state, it is detachably attached to each part of the container body partitioned by the partition piece.

[Action]

That is, this compact does not have the recessed portion for accommodating the inner plate as in the conventional example, but extends at least one partition piece from the inner wall surface of the container body toward the center side of the container body, The portion sandwiched between this partition piece and the inner wall surface of the container body, or the portion sandwiched between the two partition pieces serves as a storage portion for the inner plate. Therefore, the partition wall on the center side of the container body in each housing is not necessary, and the structure of the container body has a simple shape with few partition walls. Moreover, notches are formed in a substantially U-shape on both left and right side walls of the inner plate, and the side wall portion surrounded by the U-shape is formed as an elastic piece with a ridge, and the ridge of the elastic piece is partitioned. The inner plate is attached to the container body by engaging with the notch hole provided in the piece and the inner wall surface of the container body. Therefore, its engaging force is strong,
As described above, even if the number of partition walls is small, the inner plate can be securely attached. Also, as mentioned above,
The above-mentioned engagement is an engagement utilizing spring elasticity, and since the engagement force is strong, the engagement is not disengaged even when the compact is turned back during transportation, etc., as in the conventional example, The cosmetic container that has come out will not hit the mirror attached to the back surface of the lid body and the mirror will not be damaged, and the cosmetic in the cosmetic container will not crack. Also,
Even if the inner plate has a variation in dimensional accuracy, for example, even if the inner plate is made a little small, the above engagement is surely performed,
It never gets loose. Therefore, it is possible to completely eliminate the breakage of the mirror and the cracking of the cosmetics that occur in the conventional example. Moreover, the elastic piece that constitutes the engagement is
Since the notches are formed in a substantially U-shape on the left and right side walls of the inner plate to form the side walls of the inner plate, it is not necessary to provide a spring member on the inner plate. It has an excellent effect.

Next, this invention will be described in detail based on embodiments.
