Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compact that can store cosmetics and the like, and more particularly to an airtight compact that can effectively seal volatile cosmetics such as biocosmetics in an airtight state. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional compact container of this type, generally, hook pieces are projected at predetermined positions on the front of a body container pivotally attached to the rear and a lid, and these hook pieces are mutually attached. The structure was such that the lid was brought into close contact with the body container by engaging them. However, this type of compact container has features such as easy opening and closing and easy use, but on the other hand, there is a problem that it is difficult to completely seal the opening of the body container to keep it airtight.

[0003] On the other hand, on the other hand, for example, in fact
No. 709, No. 60-33910, and No. 61-2.
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 3911, No. 62-204503, etc., a locking mechanism having a special structure is attached to the body container of the compact container and the front opening of the lid, and by using these locking mechanisms, the lid is closed. Firmly adhere to the body container,
A compact container has also been developed, which keeps the opening of the body container in close contact with each other and keeps it airtight.

Further, as a mechanism for keeping the opening of the container in close contact with the airtight state in a general container, which is not a compact container, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 55-30842 and 59-3968, JP-A-58-27153, JP-A-58-53065, and JP-A-59-10965
No. 1 and No. 5-11823, etc. describe lock mechanisms of various structures.

[0005]

However, in many of the above-mentioned compact containers or general airtight containers, since the locking mechanism between the body container and the lid is strong, the lid is applied with a small force. There was a problem that it was difficult to cancel easily. Therefore, when opening the lid, the lock mechanism cannot be released unless a part of the lock mechanism is held by hand and pulled outward or upward with a large force. Therefore, there is a problem that it is inconvenient to handle for women and women with weak strength.

The airtight compact according to the present invention is a completely new technology developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems,
In particular, a lever is rotatably incorporated into a part of the engaging member,
This is to provide a completely new technique in which the engagement between the engaging member and the hook piece can be easily released by the rotation of the lever.

[0007]

The airtight compact according to the present invention is a technique that fundamentally improves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the gist of the invention is that the body container and the lid are pivotally attached at the rear portion. In addition, in an airtight compact in which the opening of the body container can be closed in an airtight manner by the lid, an engaging member capable of engaging with a hook piece provided on the lower surface of the front portion of the body container is rotated to the front portion of the lid. A lever that is pivotally movably mounted and that is capable of releasing the engagement between the hook piece of the body container and the engaging member is incorporated in the engaging member and pivotally rotatably attached to the engaging member. The airtight compact is characterized in that the lower end of is suspended from the engaging member.

[0008]

The airtight compact according to the present invention is, as described above,
Since the engaging member is rotatably and pivotally attached to the front portion of the lid, and the hook piece capable of engaging with the engaging member is provided on the lower surface of the front portion of the body container, the engaging member is rotated. The lid can be firmly and closely fixed to the body container by engaging with the hook piece of the body container.

Further, in the present invention, since the lever is rotatably pivotally attached to the engaging member and the lower end of the lever is hung from the engaging member, the lever is pulled forward. When the lever is operated, the body container having the hook piece or the engaging member to which the lever is attached is relatively moved by the action of the lever, and the engaging member and the hook piece are easily engaged with a small force. It can be canceled.
