Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a compact case or a storage container for replacement cosmetics in which cosmetics stored with a simple structure can be removed.

[Conventional technology]

Heretofore, in a compact case accommodating cosmetics, there have been proposed many configurations in which the inner plate filled with the cosmetics can be removed. The mechanism for removing the inner plate could also be used in a storage container that stores a replacement inner plate.

However, to prevent the inner plate from coming off from the compact case due to the stress applied during use or carrying, on the other hand, the inner plate and the compact case must be firmly engaged, but when removing the inner plate, it is easy. The contradictory function of being removable was required. Therefore, this removing mechanism has a complicated structure, and a special removing jig such as a pin is required. It was difficult to implement this in an inexpensive middle dish storage container in terms of cost and ease of use.

Therefore, according to Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-16005 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-10383, a tongue piece is formed by providing a notch on the bottom surface of the compact case, and the tongue piece is pushed up from below with a fingertip or the like. A configuration has been proposed in which one piece is bent and the tongue piece pushes up the inner plate containing the cosmetic material and removes it. With this configuration, the inner plate can be removed without special preparation such as a pin that pushes up the inner plate, and since the mechanism for removing the inner plate can be molded integrally with the container, the container can be manufactured inexpensively and replaced. It was also possible to use it as a storage container for medium dishes.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in this type of configuration, since the tongue piece is formed by cutting out the container, the tongue piece remains in contact with the bottom surface of the inner plate with the inner plate attached, and The piece was made large so that it could be operated with a fingertip or the like. Therefore, there is a high possibility that an object will collide with the tongue when carrying it, and the tongue pushes up the inner plate, which may cause the inner plate to drop out accidentally.

Further, since the inner plate is firmly attached to the container so as not to be accidentally dropped, a large force is required when removing the inner plate. Moreover, since the tongue piece itself has a restoring property, it was necessary to continue pushing up the tongue piece until it was removed further.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

A storage recess 8 is formed on the upper surface of the body 5 so that the inner plate 2 filled with the cosmetic material 1 is detachably mounted. The container 5 is provided with a notch 15 penetrating into the storage recess 8 over the lower surface and one side wall. A plate-shaped reversing piece 7 having a bent portion 17 which is made of a flexible material, is bent in the shape of a dogleg at the center, and has a protruding direction that can be reversed inward and outward in the cutout portion 15.
To place. Both ends of the reversing piece 7 are connected to the front end and the rear end of the cutout portion 15 via sub hinges 16 and 16 '. By projecting the bent portion 17 of the reversing piece 7 toward the storage recess 8, the inner plate 2 stored in the storage recess 8 is pushed up. The present invention is a cosmetic container having the above structure.

[Action]

When the inner plate 2 is stored and mounted in the storage recess 8 of the body 5, the bent portion 17 of the reversing piece 7 projects outward. Here, if the vicinity of the bent portion 17 of the reversing piece 7 is pressed upward with a finger, the reversing piece 7 bends inward. And the bent portion 17
Is pressed inward from the line connecting the sub hinges 16 and 16 'at both ends, the bending portion 17 reverses the projecting direction, and a restoring force that tries to restore inward is generated. At the same time, the reversing piece 7 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the inner plate 2, and the restoring force pushes up the inner plate 2 to release the attachment and holding of the body 5, and the inner plate 2 can be removed.

With the inner plate 2 removed, the bent portion 17 of the reversing piece 7 projects into the storage recess 8 of the container 5. Here, when the inner tray 2 is inserted into the storage recess 8 of the container 5 and the inner tray 2 is pressed downward, the reversing piece 7 is pressed downward by the bottom surface of the inner tray 2. Then, the bent portion 17 has the sub hinges 16 and 1 at both ends.
When pressed below the line connecting 6 ', the bent portion 17
The projecting direction of is reversed and projected to the outside, and the inner plate 2 is attached to the body 5.

〔Example〕

The cosmetic material 1 is filled with a synthetic resin, a thin metal plate, or the like in an inner plate 2 having a shallow dish shape. This middle plate 2
The upper end of the is a flange portion 3 protruding in a flange shape in the outer peripheral direction.

The case body 4 includes a body 5, a lid 6 and a reversing piece 7. A storage recess 8 for accommodating the inner plate 2 is formed on the upper surface of the body 5. Around the storage recess 8, a recess 9 into which the flange portion 3 of the inner plate 2 is fitted is engraved. In addition, a holding projection 10 is provided on the side wall of the storage recess 8 so that the inner plate 2 can be detachably engaged and the inner plate 2 can be mounted and held in the storage recess 8.

A lid 6 is openably and closably connected to one end of the container 5 via a main hinge 11. On the lower surface of the lid body 6, the container body 5
A puff storage place 13 for accommodating the puff 12 placed on the upper surface of the is engraved. On the ceiling surface of this puff storage room 13, a mirror 14
Is attached.

Further, a cutout portion 15 is engraved from the lower surface of the body 5 to the side wall of the main hinge 11. This cutout 15
Penetrates to the storage recess 8. Also this notch
A reversing piece 7 made of the same material as the container body 5 and the lid body 6 is arranged on the 15, and both ends of the reversing piece 7 are provided with sub hinges 16 and 16 'at the front end and the rear end of the cutout portion 15, respectively. It is flexibly connected via. The reversing piece 7 is plate-shaped, and is bent in a V shape following the outer shapes of the bottom surface and the rear end side wall of the body 5. The bending portion 17 at the apex of the reversing piece 7 is also bendable. Further, the thickness of the reversing piece 7 is also configured to be curved. As a result, the bent portion 17 of the reversing piece 7 can be pressed from below to above the line connecting the sub hinges 16 and 16 'at both ends. Then, when the reversing piece 7 is bent to this position and the bending portion 17 is bent, the protruding direction of the bending portion 17 is reversed and the bending portion 17 is projected into the storage recess 8.

The container body 5, the lid body 6 and the reversing piece 7 are integrally molded with a synthetic resin such as polypropylene (PP) which is resistant to repeated bending.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the storage container for the inexpensive replacement middle plate 2 in which the case body 4 is integrally molded is described, but as shown in FIG. You may use as a compact case by connecting 6 openably and closably by a hinge shaft. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the present invention can be implemented in a container in which the container body 5 and the lid body 6 are not connected and the lid body 6 is detachably fitted to the container body 5. Furthermore, the reversing piece 7 also
As shown in FIG. 6, it is not necessary to form the flexible body integrally with the body 5, and the reversing piece 7 may be made of the flexible material, and both ends may be pivotally supported by the body 5. good. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the body 5 and the reversing piece 7 may be integrally formed, and one end of the reversing piece 7 may be pivotally supported by a pin.

[Effect of device]

As described above, the present invention is configured to push up the inner plate 2 in which the cosmetic material 1 is stored, by utilizing the inversion function of the protruding direction of the elastic plate-shaped member bent in a dogleg shape. . Therefore,
Even if an object collides with the reversing piece 7 that is a plate-like member when it is carried, the bending portion 17 is bent as long as it is not pushed above the line connecting the sub hinges 16 and 16 'at both ends of the reversing piece 7. Since the portion 17 has an elastic force in the restoring direction, there is no possibility that the inner plate 2 is accidentally dropped by being pressed by the reversing piece 7.

Further, in the reversing piece 7, the projecting direction of the bent portion 17 is reversed with the line connecting the sub hinges 16 and 16 'at both ends as a boundary, and the elastic force acts in the projecting direction. Sub hinge
If the line connecting 16, 16 'is pressed, the inner plate 2 is then pressed by the restoring force of the reversing piece 7, and it is not necessary to directly press the inner plate 2 with a finger, and the inner plate 2 can be removed with a small force. .

Further, after the removal operation of the inner plate 2, the bent portion of the reversing piece 7
17 is held in a state of protruding inward. Therefore, if the reversing piece 7 is pressed until the bent portion 17 is reversed, the reversed bent portion 17 pushes up the middle plate 2 upward, and therefore it is not necessary to push up the reversing piece 7 until the middle plate 2 is removed. .
