DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a compact case.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a compact case for storing cosmetics such as foundation and white powder has a lid body hinged to a body containing the cosmetics so that the lid body can be opened and closed by a hinge, and an engaging portion and a hook are provided at the tip of the body body and the lid body. Is provided, and the hook is engaged with the engaging portion to hold the lid body in the closed state. Then, by forcibly opening the lid, the engagement between the engaging portion and the hook is forcibly released, and the lid is opened.

As the locking mechanism, an engaging portion is provided on the front end of the body, a tongue is hung on the lower surface of the tip of the lid, and a hook that engages with the engaging portion of the body is provided on the tongue. The configuration was mainly used. Further, a stepped portion is provided at the front ends of the container and the lid so that a finger can be hooked when the lid is opened.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, the structure in which the engaging portion is provided so as to project from the front end portion of the container, the tongue piece is hung on the lower end surface of the lid body, and the hook for engaging with the engaging portion of the container body is provided on the tongue piece, Since the hook is engaged from the front by the engaging portion of the body, when a finger is hung on the stepped portion of the lid to open the lid, the lid is pushed backward. This pushing force works backward in the direction that strengthens the engagement between the engagement portion of the body and the hook of the lid,
Even if the engagement between the engaging portion and the hook is adjusted to the optimum strength, the lid is difficult to remove. This is because in the case where the body, the lid and the hinge are integrally molded, the hinge is deformed and the lid is opened and closed, so that the lid moves slightly rearward. The engagement strength of was significantly increased.

In order to eliminate this drawback, a push button is provided on the body,
By using this cam mechanism or lever mechanism by pressing this push button, the lid is pushed up without stressing the lid, and the engagement between the engaging portion and the hook is released. In the case of the configuration in which the body, lid and hinge are integrally molded, the number of parts is increased by one and the cost is increased, and the advantage of cost reduction by integrally molding is lost.

[Means for solving the problem]

A container body 3 having a storage recess 5 for accommodating the cosmetic material 1 and a lid body 4 are integrally molded, and a hinge 8 that makes the lid body 4 openable and closable is formed by thinning the respective connecting portions. The body 3 and the lid body 4 are provided with an engaging portion 7 and a hook 12 that engage with each other when the lid body 4 is closed, and the engagement between the engaging portion 7 and the hook 12 is forcibly released by hand. In the above, the engaging direction of the engaging portion 7 of the body 3 and the hook 12 of the lid 4 is set so that the hook 12 of the lid 4 is located in front of the engaging portion 7 of the body 3 when the lid 4 is closed. Is positioned and the hook 12 is engaged with the engaging portion 7 from the front side other than the engaging direction.

In this structure, a tongue piece 6a is provided upright near the tip of the upper surface of the body 3, and a hinge 8 of the tongue piece 6a is provided with an engaging portion 7 on the side wall thereof. A hook 12 is provided near the tip of the lid body 4 so that when the lid body 4 is closed, the hinge 8 of the tongue piece 6a is located at the crocodile and engages with the engaging portion 7 of the body 3 from the rear.

Further, an engaging hole 14 is formed at the tip of the upper surface of the body 3, and the engaging portion 7 is provided at the side wall of the tip of the engaging hole 14. A tongue piece 6b protruding into the engaging hole 14 when the lid 4 is closed is hung at the lower end of the lid 4. The tongue piece 6b is provided with a hook 12 that engages with the engaging portion 7.

In the case of the above configuration, the tongue piece 6b or the engagement hole 14 provided at the tip of the upper surface of the body 3 is provided at two positions at which the storage recess 5 is not formed, and the tongue piece 6b of the lid 4 is provided. The hook 12 can also be provided in two places corresponding to it.

Further, an engaging portion 7 is provided so as to project near the tip of the container 3, and a laterally bendable tongue 6c hangs near the tip of the lower surface of the lid 4.
The tongue piece 6c is provided with a hook 12 that laterally engages with a pin-shaped engaging portion 7 provided on the tip surface of the body 3.

Further, a concave groove 15 into which the lid body 4 is fitted when the lid body 4 is closed is formed on the upper surface of the vessel body 3, and the tip of the concave groove 15 is provided with engaging portions 7 on both inner side walls. Hooks 12 that engage with the engaging portions 7 when the lid 4 is closed are provided at both ends of the lid 4.

[Action]

The hook 12 of the lid body 4 is engaged with the engaging portion 7 provided on the container body 3, and the lid body 4 is held in a closed state. When the finger is put on the tip of the lid body 4 to open the lid body 4, the engagement between the engaging portion 7 and the hook 12 is forcibly released and the lid body 4 is opened. At this time, in addition to the stress of opening the lid 4 upward, the stress of pushing the lid 4 backward acts on the lid 4 to deform the hinge 8 and move the lid 4 slightly backward. , The engaging portion 7 of the body 3
Since the engagement of the hook 12 of the lid body 4 with the engagement portion 7 of the container body 3 is not in the engagement direction in which the hook 12 engages the lid body 4 from the front side with the engagement portion 7 of the container body 3, the engagement portion 7 and the hook 12 engage with each other. The combined strength may be lighter, but not stronger.
