DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compact container in which a lid and a container body are rotatably connected to each other by a slidable boss portion. The present invention relates to a compact display container that can be displayed while exposing the inside of the container body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A compact container for a display needs to be used after wiping a cosmetic material as a content. Therefore, a lid is generally fitted to a flat container body having a large opening. In many cases, the container body and the lid are rotatably supported at one end, and a mirror is attached to the inner surface of the lid for use during use.

In recent years, when a compact container is displayed at a store, it is preferable to put the lid of the compact container in a transparent display package with the lid open, and actually show the color of the cosmetic in the container to the purchaser. It is rare. However, when the lid of the container is opened, there is a limit to the opening angle of the lid. Generally, the lid can only be opened up to about 180 degrees, which is twice as large as the state in which the lid is closed. For this reason, the area for display is required twice, which is disadvantageous for a limited area.

[0004] On the other hand, there has been proposed a compact display container in which an open lid is stored on the back side of a container body. An example of a conventional compact container will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the container body 50 is provided with a filling portion 50a for filling a compact (not shown), and a brush 50b and the like are attached. A boss 50c, which is a columnar projection, is provided on a side surface of the container body 50.

On the other hand, a boss 50c is provided on the inner surface of the lid 51.
Is provided with a slide groove 51a. Therefore, the lid body 51 closing the container body can rotate with the boss 50c positioned at one end of the slide groove 51a,
Also, after opening at approximately 180 degrees, the boss 50c is inserted into the slide groove 51a.
, The mirror surface 51b can be stored along the rear surface of the container body.

[0007]

In the compact container constructed as described above, when the container body 50 is closed by the lid 51, the container rotates so that the container body 50 is engaged with the lid 51. A locking projection 52 or the like is provided.

However, in the conventional compact container, there is no means for locking when the cover 51 is moved to the back side of the container body 50. For this reason, the lid 51 may move with respect to the container main body 50 in the work of putting it in a package for display before shipping, which may take time. In addition, when there is play in the stored package, it moves in the package, and there is a problem that the position is not fixed and the appearance is poor.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a compact container capable of engaging the lid and the container body when the lid is closed by one engagement portion provided on the lid and when the lid is moved to the back side of the container body. The purpose is to propose.

[0010]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a representative structure of a compact container for a display according to the present invention comprises a container body having slide grooves on two opposing side surfaces, A lid having a boss at a corresponding position, wherein the lid is rotatable about the boss as a rotation axis, and the boss slides along the slide groove so that the lid is A compact container movable to the back side of the container main body, wherein the lid has an engaging portion at one end, and the container main body has two engaging members that lock the engaging portions of the lid at opposite ends. It is characterized by having a stop so that it can be engaged when the lid is closed and when it is moved to the back side of the container body.
