Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to improvements in compact containers.

In general, compact containers for cosmetics, puffs, etc.
It consists of a container body and a lid that is connected to one edge of the container body by a hinge and is used to open and close the container body. As for the structure: d1 Various structures have been proposed in the past.

One of the known structures is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

A slide hole 3 is bored in the edge of the container body 1 opposite to the hinge 2, a slide member 4 having an inclined surface 4a is fitted into the slide hole 3, and the slide member 4 is inserted into the hinge 2 with a fingertip or the like. By pushing it to the side, the tip of the retaining piece 6 of the lid body 5 is pushed upward by the inclined surface 4a of the slide member 4,
This structure is such that the engagement between the hook 6a of the engagement piece 6 and the hook 1a on the container body 1 side is released.

However, although such a conventional compact container has the advantage that the engagement between both hooks 1a and 6a can be easily released by simply pushing the slide member 4, it also has the following drawbacks.

That is, to release the engagement between both hooks la and 6a,
Since the structure is such that the retaining piece 6 having one of the hooks 6a is directly pushed up by the inclined surface 4a of the slide member 4, when the slide member 4 is pushed, the engagement between both hooks 1aw6a acts in the direction of mutual deepening. As a result, both hooks wear out quickly.

This invention was made taking into account the above points,
To provide a compact container whose lid can be easily opened by simply pushing a slide member and whose hook can be prevented from being worn out.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail based on the drawings.

Figures 3 to 8 show an embodiment of the present invention.
Reference numeral 10 denotes a container main body formed into a substantially rectangular shape as a whole.

A lid 20 is hingedly connected to one edge of the container body 10 via a hinge 11 so as to be openable and closable.

A wall plate 12 is formed as a peripheral wall around the bottom plate 15 of the container body 10, and the central part of the wall plate 12a on the hinge 11 side and the opposite side, that is, the opening end side of the wall plate 12, are formed as a peripheral wall. An opening 13. is provided in the center of each wall plate 12b.
14 is formed.

Further, on the bottom plate 15 of the container body 10, an upright piece 16 is provided close to the opening 14 on the opening end side and parallel to the wall plate 12b. A hook 17 is provided protruding from the center.

On the other hand, a hook 21 is provided at the open end of the lid 20 to engage with a hook 17 protruding from the upright piece 16 to lock the lid 20 to the container body 10 in a closed state. A pressure receiving portion 21a is provided in the lower portion of the hook 21 in FIGS. 7 and 8.

Note that a mirror 22 is provided on the back surface of the lid 20.

30 is the container body 10 in the front and back direction of the container body 10.
This is a slide member that is slidably provided inside.

This slide member 30 is formed into a frame shape, and a protrusion 3 for pressing operation is provided at a position facing the hinge side opening 13.
1 of the container body 10 is provided, and a hook 21 of the lid body 20 is provided at a position facing the open end side opening 14.
a pressing slope 32 that presses the pressure receiving part 21a to release the pair of hooks 17 and 21 from the hooks 17 and 21;
is provided.

Furthermore, an upright portion 33 is formed on the outside (opening end side) of this pressing slope 32, so that the pressing slope 32 is not visible from the outside.

Reference numeral 40 denotes an intermediate frame attached to the container body 10 so as to cover the slide member 30 from above, and the hook 21 of the lid 20 can be inserted into the intermediate frame 40 when the lid 20 is closed. A notch 41 having a ]-shape is formed.

Next, the operation of the compact container of the present invention will be explained.

FIG. 7 shows the closed state in which the lid 20 is closed and the hook 21 of the lid 20 is engaged with the hook 17 of the container body 10.
When opening the lid 20 from this state, use your fingertips to push the protrusion 31 of the slide member 30 toward the opening end (left side in FIG. 7).
When the pressing slope 32 of the slide member 30 is pressed toward the lid body 20
The pressure-receiving part 21a provided at the lower part of the hook 21 of the lid 20 is pushed so that the hook 21 of the lid body 20 is moved away from the outside and also raised upward, so that the pair of hooks 17 and 21 are disengaged and the lid is removed. The body 20 rotates about the hinge 11 and becomes open as shown in FIG.

Therefore, the wear of the hooks 17, 210 is reduced accordingly, and the wear does not accelerate.

In addition, when closing the lid 20, if you press the lid 20 against the container body 10 side like a general compact container,
This time, conversely, press the pressure receiving part 21 at the hook 21 on the lid body 20 side.
a acts on the pressing slope 32 of the slide member 30 to slide the slide member 30 toward the hinge 11 and push it back to its original position, and when the lid body 20 is in the closed position as shown in FIG. Hook 17.21 comrades engage.

As explained above, the compact container according to the present invention is
A pressure-receiving part is provided at the hook portion of the lid, and the pressure-receiving part is pressed on the container body so that the hook of the lid moves outward from the hook of the container body, thereby releasing the pair of hooks. Since it is composed of a sliding member having a suppressing slope, the lid can be opened simply by pushing the sliding member, and unlike the conventional structure in which both hooks are pushed up in the direction of engagement. Since the structure is such that the two hooks are pushed up in the direction of separating them, the disengagement operation between the two hooks becomes extremely smooth, which has excellent effects such as being able to prevent wear of both hooks.
