Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact for cosmetics whose lid does not open, even if the compact is dropped. SOLUTION: A compact for cosmetics is composed of a body 1 in the form of vessel and a lid 2 covering the opening of the body 1 and coupled with it through hinge(s), wherein a lock groove 3 is formed at the outer circumferential surface of lid 2 confronting the hinge, and that part of an elastic ring 4 fastened to the hinge side of the body 1 which is confronting the hinge is arranged so as to be fitted in the lock groove 3, and when the elastic ring 4 is pressed in the direction perpendicular to the straight line connecting the hinge to the groove 3, the ring 4 is deflected to cause disengagement from the groove 3, and then the lid 2 can be opened.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a lipstick,
The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact containing cosmetics such as eyeshadow and blusher.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a conventional cosmetic compact includes a container-shaped main body 101 for accommodating a cosmetic 100 such as a lipstick, and a main body 1 covering an opening of the main body 101.
The cover 102 is hinged to the cover 102 (not shown). The main body 101 and the lid 102 are connected by a hinge, and an outward projection 1 of the main body 101 is provided at a portion facing the hinge.
03 and the inward projection 104 of the lid 102 engage (the engagement margin is X in the drawing), and the lid 102 is closed.

When opening the lid 102, a hook piece 105 is used as shown in FIG.
The forcing is pushed up. Reference numeral 106 denotes a puff placed on the contents 100, and reference numeral 107 denotes a puff.
Is a mirror attached inside the lid 102.

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional cosmetic compact, as shown in FIG.
By pushing down, the inward projection 104 of the lid 102 is pushed upward from the outward projection 103 of the main body 101 to release the engagement (engagement margin X), and the lid 102 is opened. In this cosmetic compact, it is necessary to increase the mesh margin X in order to prevent the lid 102 from opening due to an impact such as when the cosmetic compact falls.

[0005] When the meshing allowance X is increased, the pressing force of the hook piece 105 during use is increased, and the usability is deteriorated. When emphasis is placed on the feeling of use and the engagement margin X is reduced, there is a problem that the lid 102 opens when it falls and the contents 100 are scattered.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in order to prevent the lid from being opened even when the cosmetic compact falls, a container-like main body and an opening of the main body are covered. In a cosmetic compact comprising a lid hinged to the lid, a lock groove is engraved on the outer peripheral surface facing the hinge of the lid, and a portion of the elastic ring fixed to the hinge side of the main body facing the hinge is engaged with the lock groove. When the elastic ring is pressed from a direction perpendicular to a straight line connecting the hinge and the lock groove, the elastic ring is deflected and disengaged from the lock groove to open the lid.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below based on specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present cosmetic compact has a container-shaped main body 1.
And a lid 2 covering the opening of the main body 1 and hingedly connected to the main body 1 (not shown). A horizontal lock groove 3 is engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the lid 2 facing the hinge. On the other hand, the base end side of the elliptical elastic ring 4 is fixed to the hinge part of the main body 1, and further, as shown in FIG. 11 and the holding groove 11.
1 is fitted with an elastic ring 4. The depth of the holding grooves 11 is set to be deeper than the depth x of the lock groove 3 (see FIG. 1) so that the engagement of the elastic ring 4 does not come off from the holding grooves 11.

An elastic ring 4 fixed to the hinge side of the main body 1
The portion facing the hinge side engages with the lock groove 3 to close the main body 1 with the lid 2. Reference numeral 12 denotes a content 12 such as lipstick, eyeshadow, blusher, etc., reference numeral 13 denotes a puff placed on the content 12, and reference numeral 14 denotes a mirror attached to the inner surface of the lid 2. When the elastic ring 4 is pressed from a direction orthogonal to a straight line connecting the hinge and the lock groove 3, the elastic ring 4 is bent, the engagement with the lock groove 3 is released, and the lid 2 is opened.

As shown in FIG. 3, the elastic ring 4 is fixed at the hinge portion and is set to engage with the lock groove 3. The main body 1 and the lid 2 are circular in plan view, and the elastic ring 4 is elliptical, and the short sides correspond to the hinge and the lock groove 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, when opening the lid 2, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lid 2 is pressed from a direction orthogonal to a straight line connecting the hinge of the elastic ring 4 and the lock groove 3, the hinge of the elastic ring 4 is opened. Is distorted, the lid 2 comes off the lock groove 3 and the lid 2 opens.

When the cover 2 is closed, simply holding down the cover 2 closes the opening of the main body 1 and the elastic ring 4 engages with the lock groove 3 of the cover 2. When this compact falls,
As shown in (1), since the impact is applied to the elastic ring 4 from only one side, the elastic ring 4 slightly moves along the lock groove 3, the elastic ring 4 does not come off from the lock groove 3, and the lid 2 does not open.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the conventional compact has a hook piece 105, so that the shape of the front part is determined. However, in the compact of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the front shape is smart.

[0012]

As described above, the present invention relates to a cosmetic compact comprising a container-shaped main body and a lid which covers the opening of the main body and is hinged to the main body. When the elastic ring fixed to the hinge side of the main body is provided with a portion facing the hinge so as to engage with the lock groove, the elastic ring is pressed from a direction perpendicular to a straight line connecting the hinge and the lock groove. Since the lid is opened because the elastic ring is disengaged from the bending lock groove, the lid does not open even when the cosmetic compact falls. Further, even if the meshing allowance X is increased, it is not necessary to press a small hook piece, so that it is difficult to deteriorate the feeling of use.

Further, the present invention uses an elastic ring for opening and closing the compact, so that it is smart as a cosmetic compact. Further, since the present invention requires only pressing the elastic ring as compared with the conventional opening and closing with a hook piece, the opening and closing of the compact becomes extremely easy and is suitable for use by elderly people and the like.

Furthermore, since the present invention does not require a hook piece as in the prior art, the molding of the main body and the lid becomes extremely easy, and an inexpensive cosmetic compact can be provided.
