Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a compact whose lid can be easily opened with one hand.

With conventional compacts, the front opening/closing part of the compact in one palm was pushed up with the tip of the other finger to open the lid, which required a lot of effort.

Alternatively, there are containers in which the main body of the container can be slid back and forth relative to the lid so that when in use, it slides forward like a drawer, but the range of back and forth sliding is large and it is not suitable for operation in the palm of the hand. do not have.

Therefore, the present invention has developed a compact device that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional device and has an easy-to-operate structure.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 show an inner lid 5 whose lower ends on both sides of the lid 4 are pivotally connected to the lower ends of the lid 4 between the container body 3 and the lid 4.
, and can be used for both dry and wet purposes, i.e., applying a cake-like cosmetic with a rubbing piece such as a sponge, with or without water, using the rubbing piece.
This is a so-called two-way type compact IA that is used to apply makeup by rubbing it on the face, etc., and Fig. 4 shows a conventional dry type cosmetic product consisting of a container body 3 and a lid 4, which is used in combination with a rubbing piece such as a cloth puff. This shows the dry type compact IB.

Both compacts mainly consist of a container body 3 having a recess 2 in which cosmetics are stored, and a lid 4 hinged to the container body 3. A movable working piece 6 is provided which engages with a locking pawl 11 at the rear lower end of the lid 4, and by sliding the working piece 6 forward with one hand, the lid 4 can be rotated upward and opened. It is characterized by this.

The hinge between the lid 4 and the container body 3 is formed by fitting the connecting protrusion 9 at the center of the rear end of the lid 4 into the notch 1° at the rear end of the container body 3, and passing through the container body 3 laterally from the outside. A mounting shaft 21 allows the container body 3 and the lid 4 to rotate.

The lid opening/closing mechanism includes a locking pawl 11 integrally provided on the lower surface of the connecting protrusion 9 of the lid 4 fitted in the notch 10 and protruding rearward and downward in the lid closed state. Notch 10 of
Guide grooves 13' are provided on the inner periphery of both sides of the edge frame 113 curved around the outer periphery of the frame 113.
are recessed and the projecting edges 6' on both sides of the working piece 6 are fitted into the guide groove 13' so as to be able to slide back and forth, and normally the locking pawl 1
1 and the rear end of the actuating groove 14 of the actuating piece 1 engage with each other to hold the actuating piece 6 in the rearward sliding position.

The container body 3 and the lid 4 are engaged with each other by providing known locking parts such as protrusions 17 and 17' or magnets that engage with each other at the front ends to prevent the lid from being opened inadvertently.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, in which 16 is a spring and the operating groove 14 is
The operating piece 6 provided inside the cover is biased backward to prevent unwanted forward sliding and maintain the closed state of the cover.

Therefore, the lid will not be opened unless the operating piece 6 is slid forward against the biasing force of the spring 16, so the front end retaining mechanism can be omitted.

Note that the spring 16 is not limited to a leaf spring, but may be a coil spring.

In the figure, 19 indicates an inner tray for storing cosmetics, and 20 indicates a mirror.

The dry/wet compact IA has an inner lid 5 that holds the moistened rubbing piece 7 between the inner lid 5 and the lid 4, so that the rubbing piece 7 can be used to remove mirrors or cosmetics. The connecting protrusion 9 is designed to prevent fogging and staining of the inner lid 5, and to dry quickly by a plurality of ventilation holes 8 bored at appropriate positions on the landing side. A support piece 12 is provided projecting above the front of the locking pawl 11, and the support piece 12 is inserted into the operating groove 1.
It fits into a shallow recess 15 provided in front of 4.

Moreover, if the compact 1B is also provided with a support piece and fitted into the recess like the compact 1A, the movement piece 6 can be prevented from wobbling.

The functions of the compact according to the present invention are as follows.

If you place the compact 1A or 1B with the lid closed on one palm (the left palm for right-handed people) and push the rear end surface of the rear end movement piece 6 forward with the tip of your index finger or the like, the first, second, and third. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
The protrusion 17 on the front end receives a force that rotates upward around the center.
．． 17' is immediately disengaged, and in the embodiment of FIG. 5, the actuation piece 6 slides forward against the spring 16.
Since the locking pawl 11 at the lower end of the connecting projection of the lid 4, which is locked in the operating groove 14, moves together, the connecting projection 9 rotates around the mounting shaft 21 and locks as shown in FIG. The retaining pawl 11 is in the operating groove 14
, and open the lid 4 upward.

In the Compact IB, when the lid is opened as described above, the user can immediately take out the rubbing piece 7 inside with the other hand (right hand), look at the mirror 20 on the inner surface of the lid 4, and apply makeup.

Furthermore, in the Compact IA, when the lid is closed as described above, due to the structure of the inner lid 5 and the supporting piece 12 protruding from the connecting protrusion 9, both the supporting pieces 12 are closed as described above. Rotate upward to support the lower surface of the inner lid 5 near the rear end as shown in FIG. 2, and make the middle M5 slope upward in the front. , and then use a fingertip to rotate the upwardly tilted front end of the inner lid 5, and the user can immediately put on makeup while looking at the mirror 20 on the inner surface of the inner lid 5.

The upward inclination angle of the inner lid 5 can be adjusted by changing the amount of forward protrusion of the support piece 12.

Further, in the compact IA, the mirror 20 may be provided on the inner surface of the lid 4, a cosmetic storage section may be provided on the inner lid 5, and the rubbing strip 7 may be stored in the container body 3.

When the makeup is finished, the rubbing strip 7 is stored and the lid 4 is rotated downward, and the operation is reversed to that described above, and in the case of FIG. 5, the spring 16 is
In a configuration without a spring, the engaging portions engage each other to close the lid.

The compact of the present invention having the above-described structure and operation is configured so that the hinged connection between the container body 3 and the lid 4 is used to engage and release the retaining pawl 11 and the operating piece 6. It is a convenient compact that can be easily opened by sliding the actuating piece 6 forward, and can quickly take out the rubbing piece 7 to apply makeup with the other hand, saving the need for twice the conventional work.
