DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compact cosmetic container for storing cosmetic powder, puffs and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 63-160711, an inner lid is disposed on the lower inner surface of a deep lid so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, Of the two points separated from each other, the rear part of the lid to the rear point, the rear part of the inner lid to the front point, one of which is pivotally connected with the shaft, and the other using the long groove-shaped engagement groove and pin. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a compact container which is slidably engaged with an inner lid in cooperation with opening of a lid so that a lower surface of the lid can be opened.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned cosmetic compact container, since the inner lid is interlocked with the opening of the lid, the lid and the inner lid can be simultaneously opened. In that case, it may be enough to open only the lid,
There is a need for a compact container that can be opened separately with a simple operation without interlocking the lid and the inner lid.

The upper surface of the first hook 42 is pushed up by the upper hook 2 a and elastically deformed upward, and is detached from the engaging ridge 16. As a result, the first hook 42 comes out of the second through hole 15a upward by the urging force of the elastic member 60, and the rear end of the upper plate 33 is engaged with the lower surface of the engaging ridge 16.

FIGS. 3 and 5 show this state. In this state, the inner plate 40 is only slightly opened, and the inner plate 40 is further opened by holding the inner plate 40. It may be turned upward. After the upper cover plate 50 is opened as shown in FIG. 2 or after the middle plate plate 40 is opened as shown in FIG. 3, when the operation button 30 is released, the operation button 30 is moved forward by the elastic force of the elastic piece 34. To return to the position where the engagement element 35 shown in FIG. 1 is engaged with the front edge of the lateral groove 8.

To close the lid, the upper lid plate 5 is moved from the state shown in FIG.
0 may be pushed down, and then the upper lid plate 50 rotates the inner plate plate 40 downward via the puff 44. As a result, the first hook 42 is inserted through the second through hole 15a to engage with the lower surface of the engaging ridge 16 as shown in FIG. 1, and the front end of the lower surface of the first hook 42 is connected to the upper surface of the rear end of the upper plate 33. Abut. Further, when the upper lid plate 50 is pushed down, the second hook 52
The through-hole 15 and the third through-hole 36 are inserted to engage with the lower edge of the rear wall of the third through-hole 36.

[0024]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first hook is connected to the lower edge of the rear wall of the second through hole, and the second hook is connected to the lower edge of the rear wall of the third through hole. The second hook is disengaged by the rearward movement of the operation button, and the rear end of the upper plate rides on the inclined surface to further push up the lower surface of the first hook to form the second through hole. Since the engagement with the rear wall is formed so as to be disengaged, the upper lid plate and the inner plate can be sequentially and separately opened with a simple operation of pressing the operation button.

[0025] The cosmetic compact container according to claim 2 is
Since there is an elastic member for urging the inner plate and the upper cover in the opening direction around the pins, the cover can be automatically opened only by operating the operation button.

The compact cosmetic container according to claim 3 is
Since the covering part was attached to the frame wall fitted into the container body,
The structure can be simplified by using the frame wall.
