Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a compact container for storing and carrying cosmetics, etc., and particularly relates to a compact container that can be freely refilled with the cosmetics, etc.

Most conventional compact containers were disposable once the cosmetics filled in them were used up, but recently, social demands such as resource conservation and the diversification and multicolorization of cosmetics have increased. Due to the trend of When you want to carry a container with you, a single compact container is now available by replacing only the inner tray, and various types of refillable compact containers are currently known. ing.

The simplest method is to attach the inner plate to the container body using adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape, but in this case, replacing the inner plate is troublesome, and in extreme cases, the inner plate or the container body may be damaged. There was a risk that it would be lost. Also, compact containers are often placed in handbags along with watches, etc.
When a magnet is used to attach the inner plate, its magnetism often has a negative effect on other portable items. Therefore, a method has been proposed in which the lid is attached using a concave-convex fitting, but in that case, if the fitting is weak, the inner plate may easily be damaged by the impact when the lid is dropped, even if the lid is closed. However, if the fitting is too strong, it becomes difficult to attach and detach the inner plate, and this has resulted in problems such as the fact that no refillable compact container has been satisfactory to date.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to make it extremely easy to replace the inner tray filled with cosmetics, etc., and to
To provide a compact container free from the risk of an inner plate accidentally coming off due to impact.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container body made of synthetic resin, and 2 denotes a
The lids are connected to the container body 1 via a hinge 3 at the rear end so that they can be opened and closed. The lids have protrusions 4, 5 at the front ends.
The lid 2 is in the closed position when the two engaging members engage with each other. A dish frame 7, also made of synthetic resin, is fixed to the cavity 6 inside the container body 1 by any means such as adhesive, and a protrusion 9 is integrally formed on the rear end wall 8 of the dish frame, which protrudes outward through a hole 10 drilled in the rear wall of the container body 1. The rear end wall 8 is made somewhat thin to be flexible, and has an inwardly folded portion 1 at its upper end.
1 is provided integrally with the container body 1, and preferably the rear end wall and the rear wall of the container body 1 are slightly spaced apart from each other.

A recess 12 is formed inside the tray frame 7,
A claw piece 13 is erected slightly forward of the bottom surface of the recess, and the upper end thereof forms a hook portion 13a. This claw piece 13 is formed considerably lower than the depth of the recess 12, and an inner plate 14 made of synthetic resin filled with cosmetics 15 is inserted in the recess 12 between the claw piece and the rear end wall 8 in the front and back direction. It is arranged so that it can slide. The inner plate 14 is integrally provided with a hook-like protrusion 16 at its lower peripheral edge and a flange 17 at its upper peripheral edge, and when the lid body 2 is in the open position shown in FIG. The front end 17a of the flange is positioned above the claw piece 13 with sufficient clearance, and a portion of the rear end 17b is positioned below the inwardly bent portion 11 of the rear end wall 8 with a slight gap. It is becoming located. On the other hand, the hook-like protrusion 16 is formed narrower than the flange 17, and is preferably formed on the inner plate 14.
When it is slid toward the rearmost side, its front end 16a slightly contacts the hook portion 13a of the claw piece 13.

Incidentally, reference numeral 18 is a mirror fixed to the back surface of the lid body 2.

In the compact container having the above structure, when the cosmetic 15 in the inner tray 14 is used up, or when you want to replace it with another inner tray (not shown) filled with a different type of cosmetic, the first Slide the inner tray 14 to the rearmost position in the open position of the lid body 2 shown in Figure 1,
In this state, if you lift the front end of the inner plate, the protrusion 16a will easily come off from the hook part 13a.
Thereafter, the inner plate can be picked up with fingers and removed from the recess 12. Furthermore, to attach another inner plate, it is sufficient to press the rear end against the rear end wall 8 of the plate frame 7, and then press the front end downward; thus, the inner plate 14 can be replaced very easily. This is possible. Particularly in this embodiment, since the flange 17a is formed at the front end of the inner plate 14, it is convenient to place a finger on it when attaching or detaching the inner plate.

Next, when the lid 2 is closed with the inner plate 14 attached, the hinge portion 3 of the lid 2 is closed, as shown in FIG.
The inner surface of the inner plate presses the protrusion 9 of the tray frame 7 forward, so that the rear end wall 8 integrated with the protrusion swings about its lower end as a fulcrum, causing the inner plate 14 to slide forward (in the direction of the arrow). . Then, the front end protrusion 16a of the inner tray is attached to the tray frame 7.
The hook portion 13 is pressed against the claw piece 13 of the
a, while the rear end flange 17b of the inner tray 14 is fully engaged with the rear end wall 8 of the tray frame 7 and the inner bent portion 11.
The inner plate 14 is held down from behind and from above by the inner plate 12, and the inner plate 14 is firmly locked in the recess 12.
Therefore, when the lid body 2 is closed, even if a strong impact is applied to the compact container due to a fall, etc., the inner tray 1 will remain intact.
4 is always held in a predetermined position to prevent the cosmetics 15 from being scattered in the recess 12 and the inner plate 14 from falling off when the lid body 2 is opened.

In the above-described embodiment, the protrusion 16 is formed on the entire periphery of the lower end of the inner plate 14, but the protrusion may be provided only on the front end. Further, although the flange 17 provided at the upper end of the inner plate 14 may be omitted in some cases, it is preferably provided at the front end for convenience of attachment and detachment. If the flange and protrusion at the rear end are omitted,
The storage space for cosmetics 15 can be expanded by extending the inner tray 14.

In addition, when the inwardly bent portion 11 is formed at the upper end of the rear end wall 8 of the tray frame as in the above embodiment, the inner tray 14
In addition to more perfect retention, this feature also helps to prevent the inner tray from accidentally falling off when the lid body 2 is opened.

As described above, in the refillable compact container according to the present invention, the lid body is connected to the container body via the hinge portion so as to be freely openable and closable, and the tray frame is fixedly attached to the container body, and the lid body is connected to the container body through the hinge portion, and the tray frame is fixedly attached to the container body. An inner plate in which a protrusion formed on an end wall projects outward from the container body, and a cosmetic or the like is filled between a locking claw piece formed on the bottom of a recess in the plate frame and the rear end wall. is arranged so as to be slidable in the front and back direction, and an engaging protrusion is provided on at least the lower edge of the front end of the inner tray, and when the lid is in the closed position, the protrusion of the tray frame is pressed by the hinge, and the rear end The wall slides the inner tray forward, thereby locking the inner tray within the tray frame, so that the inner tray is held firmly in place and is protected from damage caused by falling. There is no risk of it coming off even if an impact is applied, and the inner tray can be replaced extremely easily when the lid is in the open position.

In addition, when the rear end wall of the tray frame has an inwardly bent portion at the upper end, the inner tray can be held even more firmly and the inner tray can be prevented from falling off when the lid is opened. Furthermore, if at least the front end flange of the inner plate is provided, the replacement work of the inner plate becomes easier, and both are very convenient in practice.
