DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an illuminated compact container which can be used for makeup even in dark places.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many proposals for a compact container with lighting have been made, and when manufacturing a compact container, the lighting lamp is arranged at a position where makeup can be easily applied, the lighting lamp, the battery, and the electric circuit. In order to make it easy to incorporate a series of complicated lighting devices, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 53-115374
As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-242242, it is also possible to make all the main lighting devices mounted inside the lid body to facilitate the assembling work, and thus to provide a compact container with lighting at a low cost. Is.

However, in the conventional compact container with illumination, the battery, which occupies a large specific gravity in terms of its capacity and weight, is attached to the back side of the makeup mirror in the central portion of the lid, so that the battery and the makeup are improved. Since the lid overlaps with the mirror and the lid becomes thicker, and the lid covers the container body, the appearance of the compact container will not be good, but the weight of the battery will be applied to the entire lid, and the lid will be opened for makeup. At this time, the resistance of the hinge cannot withstand the weight of the opened lid, and the free-stop performance (stopping at any position) of the lid is hindered, and the lid easily falls back and forth, making it easy to apply makeup. There is a problem that it will not stop.

Further, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 45-20670, the hinge portion of a compact container is used as a battery holder, and this is connected to an illuminating lamp provided at the tip of the lid by a lead wire. With such a configuration, a technique for solving the problem of loss of the free-stop property of the lid body due to the weight of the battery has been proposed. However, this compact compact container with illumination is complicated in assembly work since the lid and the hinge part where the illumination lamp and the battery rotate relative to each other are installed at different installation locations, and the manufacturing cost is high. Therefore, there is a problem that economic mass production cannot be achieved.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and by providing the entire illuminating device on the lid, the assembling work is facilitated, and a thick design is not provided. Further, it is an object to provide a compact container with lighting that has an open operability and can be opened by stopping the opened lid at an angle that facilitates makeup.

[0006]

Therefore, a compact container with illumination according to the present invention is hinged to a container body and a lid body provided with an illumination device including an illumination lamp, a battery, a switch, and an electric circuit connecting them. In a compact container formed by pivotally connecting the lid to the rear end of the lid, the front of the rear end of the lid extends rearward of the hinge portion to provide a battery storage portion at the rear end, and the battery storage portion includes the lid. The above-mentioned problem is solved by being characterized in that it is formed so as to project halfway from the lower surface of the body.

[0007]

In the illuminated compact container of the present invention,
Since the battery storage section is provided at the rear end of the lid that extends rearward of the hinge section and the battery is stored near the rear of the hinge section, the bulky battery makes the entire compact container It does not become thick, and when the lid is opened, it can be stably stopped at a position on the upper surface of the container body that is slightly elevated and is easy to apply makeup.
