JPS5925283Y2 - Container with pivoting lid - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a container having a pivoting lid, such as a compact.

As a lid locking mechanism for this type of container, magnets are installed on the main body side and the lid side, respectively, so that when the lid is closed, the magnets are attracted to each other to maintain the closed state of the lid. ing.

This mechanism uses a magnet to maintain the closed state of the lid, which has the effect of ensuring the closure, but it has the disadvantage that if the attractive force is too strong, it becomes difficult to open the lid.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks, and will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a compact, 2 is a main body, and 3 is a lid.

The main body and the lid are pivotally connected by a pin 4 at the rear side.

Note that 5 is a cosmetic storage chamber, and 6 is a mirror attached to the inner surface of the lid.

A magnet storage chamber 8 is provided in one of the front joint surface portions 7, 7 of the main body and the lid body, and a magnet storage chamber 8 is provided in the chamber.

The N poles are positioned in the front-back direction, and the first magnet 9 is housed so as to be slidable in the front-back direction.

A spring 10 is provided at the rear of the room to bias the first magnet toward the front of the room, and the bias pushes the first magnet toward the front of the room.

In addition, a push button 13 is provided that penetrates the front wall 12 of the magnet storage chamber in order to allow the first magnet to retreat to the rear of the chamber against this bias.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a recess provided on the outer surface of the front wall 12 to facilitate pushing of the push button.

The upper surface of the magnet storage chamber is preferably closed with an upper plate 15 that is not magnetically shielded.

A second magnet 16 is embedded in the other of the front joint surface portions.

The second magnet is also provided with both poles located in the front-rear direction so as to be attracted to the first magnet when the lid is closed.

The second magnet may be fitted into the recess and secured with an adhesive or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the first and second magnets 9 and 16 attract each other due to their magnetism when the lid is closed, thereby joining the front joint surfaces of the main body and the lid.
By pushing the push button 13 and retracting the first magnet 9, the magnetic poles of both magnets approach each other and move away from each other.

In other words, in the illustrated example, if the front part of the first magnet located below is the S pole, the rear part is the N pole, and the front part of the second magnet in front of Father is the N pole and the rear part is the S pole. When one magnet moves backward, the south pole of the first magnet moves below the south pole of the second magnet, and the south poles of the magnet move away from each other.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and is provided with a push button for pushing the first magnet toward the rear of the magnet storage chamber, so that by pushing the push button, the attractive force between the first and second magnets can be immediately switched to repulsive force. Therefore, this switching operation is easy, and by pressing the push button to generate a repulsive force between both magnets, the lid can be opened easily and conveniently.

Furthermore, since the first magnet is biased toward the front of the magnet storage chamber by the spring 10, the first magnet automatically returns to the front of the chamber at the same time as the push button is released. Just by tilting it down, the closed state can be reliably maintained due to the attractive force of both the magnets provided on the main body and the lid.
