Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a small container for storing cosmetics and small items.

This type of container is often carried in a handbag or the like, and therefore, the lid is often locked with a latch to ensure that the lid is kept closed. However, in the case of this stopper,
There are many cases where it is inconvenient to unlock if the lock is too hard.
In some cases, it can even damage fingertips and nails.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to provide a container in which the above-mentioned disadvantages can be eliminated by incorporating an operating lever into the container body and having a structure in which the operating lever can be pushed to unlock the stopper.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, 1 is a rectangular container body, 2 is a vertically extending short edge 3a of an outward flange 3 placed on the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the container body 1, and fitted into the container body 1. The inner container body 4 is a rectangular cylindrical inner container body, and 4 is a lid that is secured to the rear part of the container body 1 with a hinge at its rear end.

The container body 1 has an opening shaped like a fingertip whose lower end surface is arcuate by cutting out the upper central part of the front side peripheral wall 5 from the upper end surface, and the inner surface of the peripheral wall 5 below this opening. A support 6 for the thick part is provided on the
Furthermore, rod-shaped bearing members 7a and 7b are provided projecting from the upper and lower parts of the inner surface of the peripheral wall 5 on the right side of the figure, away from the support 6, and vertically opposed to each other at appropriate intervals. Upper bearing member 7b
The upper end of the container body 1 protrudes above the container body 1 and is located within the lid 4. Further, the inner container body 2 has an outward flange 3
An engaging protrusion 8 for a stopper is protruding from the upper outer surface of the front side vertical short edge 3a. Next, the center part of the front side hanging wall 9 of the lid 4 is slightly thick, and an engaging protrusion 10 for a stopper that engages with the engaging protrusion 8 is protruded from the inner surface. A hanging wall 11 hanging over the opening of the container body 1 is provided in the center. This central hanging wall 11 has an inverted trapezoidal shape that becomes narrower as it goes downward, and its downwardly facing left and right sides A and B become engagement slopes that widen left and right as they go from the front toward the back. ing.

An operating lever 12 is attached to the opening of the front peripheral wall 5 of the container body 1. This operating lever 12 has a plate-like body 13 that is fitted into the opening and whose lower surface is supported by the support 6. This plate-like body 13 is provided with a short edge 14 on the rear side circumferential wall, and the central part of the top is attached to the lid 4.
A concave portion having a corresponding inverted trapezoidal shape and an engaging slope is formed into which the central hanging wall 11 of the central hanging wall 11 can be fitted. This plate-like body 13 has a free end that is connected to the inner container body 2.
A plate spring 15 that abuts the outer surface is attached to extend laterally from one side, and a support column 1 extends in the opposite direction on the other side.
6 are integrally provided, and support shafts 17, 17 at the ends of the support columns 16
is rotatably attached to the opening in the horizontal direction by being pivotally supported by the upper and lower bearing members 7a and 7b.

In the above structure, when the lid is closed, the engaging protrusions 8 and 10 are engaged and the stopper is in the locked state, and the plate-shaped body 13 of the operating lever 12 is in the container body 1.
It is fitted into the opening. In order to open the lid, the front surface of the operating lever 12 may be pressed in the rearward direction as shown by the arrow. Then, control lever 1
2 rotates horizontally toward the rear side against the leaf spring 15 using the support shafts 17, 17 as fulcrums. Here, as mentioned above, the engaging slopes A and B of the central hanging wall 11 of the lid 4 are shaped diagonally downward and widen from side to side toward the back, and the top of the operating lever 12 also corresponds to this shape. Due to the above-mentioned rotation, the diagonally upward engaging slopes on the left and right sides of the concave portion of the operating lever 12 slide into downward engaging slopes A and B on the lid 4 side, and when these are pushed toward the back, they simultaneously move upward. This pushes the lid 4 upward and unlocks the stopper. When the clasp is unlocked and the pressing of the operating lever 12 is stopped, the operating lever 12 is returned to its original position by the leaf spring 15.

As mentioned above, in the present invention, the clasp can be unlocked by simply pushing the plate-shaped body 13 with a wide pressing surface of the operating lever 12, so there is no risk of damaging fingertips or nails as in the case of conventional clasp unlocking. The unlocking operation is simple and safe. In other words, even if the clasp is a little hard to lock, it can be easily unlocked.
This makes it possible to securely close the lid and ensure stable storage and maintenance. Further, since the engaging surfaces A and B on which the unlocking force acts are sloped surfaces, the unlocking operation (also the locking operation) can be performed smoothly with little resistance. Further, since the operating lever 12 is fitted and set in the opening of the container body 1 so as to become a part of the container body 1, it has a compact form and does not impair the appearance of the container. In addition, if the plate-shaped body 13 is pivoted at its upper or lower part, the pressing part will be the lower or upper part.
In the present invention, since the plate-shaped body 13 is pivotally supported by the pillars 16 at separate locations, there is an advantage that there is no restriction on the pressing location.
