Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a side-push type compact container in which the lid can be unlocked by pushing inward a pressing piece provided on the side edge of the compact container. It is.

Regarding the above-mentioned type of compact container, one related to the applicant's earlier application has already been provided.
Most of these push the pressing piece on the side edge of the container body inward to push up the side of the lid located directly above the pressing piece, thereby pushing the lid and the front end of the container body together. Since the lid is opened by forcibly releasing the engagement at the edge, the engagement position and the position where the opening force is applied are misaligned, and a relatively strong force must be applied to the pressing piece. Not only does this not occur, but the lid body made of synthetic resin sometimes bends partially due to the above-mentioned pushing up force, producing an unpleasant squeak.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to release the lock of the lid by pushing the pressing piece provided on the side edge of the container body inward, and the pressing To provide a side push-type compact container which is extremely convenient to use and can reduce the force applied to the pieces and does not generate creaking noise when opening a lid.

The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention.

The figure shows a compact container for storing cosmetics, etc. In this compact container, a lid body 2 is connected to a container body 1 by a pivot pin 3-3 so as to be openable and closable. A mirror 4 is bonded to the inner surface of the central portion of the lid body 2, and a first hook-shaped claw piece 5 is formed to hang down from the front end thereof.

A relatively large concave space 6 having a rectangular plan view is formed in the container body 1, and a pan frame 7 having a length in the front-rear direction that is shorter than the front-rear width of the space 6 is disposed inside the concave space 6. The pan frame 7 has ears 8-8 on both sides, and each of the ears 8 fits into a recess 9 formed inside the side wall of the container body, so that the pan frame 7 does not separate upward from the container body 1. It's becoming like that. Note that the length of the recessed portion 9 in the front-rear direction is sufficiently longer than that of the ear portion 8. The tray frame 7 is preferably made of synthetic resin, and is integrally formed with a V-shaped resilient protrusion 10 protruding outward from the center of its rear end. It passes through a through hole 11 formed in the rear end wall of the lid body 2 and comes into contact with the inner surface of the hanging wall 2a above the pivot pin 3-3 of the lid body 2.
Further, a second outward hook-shaped claw piece 12 is integrally formed at the center of the front end of the tray frame 7.

A groove 13 is formed in the bottom surface of the container body 1, that is, the bottom surface defining the cavity 6, and extends laterally from one side of the container body toward the inside. A protruding piece 14 integrally protruding from the lower surface of the frame 7 is inserted. Furthermore, this groove 1
A pressing piece 15 on a flat plate is slidably inserted into the pressing piece 3, and an inclined surface 16 is formed at the inner end of the pressing piece 15 to come into contact with the protruding piece 14 of the tray frame 7, and the outer side thereof One end is an operating end 17 exposed at the side of the container body 1. When the pressing piece 15 is pushed inward, the protruding piece 1 of the pan frame 7
It is an inclined surface that acts on 4 and displaces it rearward.

Since the compact container of the present invention is constructed as described above, the tray frame 7 is always urged forward by the action of the elastic protrusion 10 within the larger concave space 6. When the lid body 2 is closed, the first hook-shaped claw piece 5 formed at the front end of the lid body 2 acts on the second hook-shaped claw piece 12 provided at the front end of the tray frame 7, displacing it slightly backward. and then engaged. When the operating end 17 of the pressing piece 15 is pushed inward in the locking position of the lid 2, the inclined surface 16 of the inner end of the pressing piece 15 forms a protrusion that integrally projects from the lower surface of the pan frame 7. By acting on the piece 14, the plate frame 7 is moved to the elastic protruding piece 1.
0 and slide it backwards. As a result, the second hook-shaped claw piece 12 integrated with the tray frame 7 is
The lid body 2 is unlocked because it moves rearward from the hook-shaped claw piece 5 and is separated. At the same time, the elastic protrusion 10 at the rear end of the tray frame 7 presses the hanging wall 2a above the pivot pin 3-3 of the lid body 2 rearward, so that the lid body 2 is unlocked at the same time. The lid body 2 is rotated about the pivot pin 3-3 to be opened at a predetermined angle.

As described above, according to the compact container of the present invention, by pushing inward the operating portion 17 of the pressing piece 15 exposed on the side edge of the container body 1, the tray frame 7 is moved back and the lid body is removed. Since the engagement of the lid body can be released, the force applied to the pressing piece is relatively small, and no creaking noise or the like is generated when the lid body is opened. In addition, when the compact container of the present invention is placed on the palm under normal use, the thumb of the hand is pressed against the pressing piece 15.
Since the lock is located above the operating portion 17 of the hand, the lock can be unlocked by pressing the thumb of this hand inward, making it extremely convenient to use.

Note that by integrally protruding an elastic piece 10 from the rear end of the tray frame 7 and pressing this elastic piece against the inner wall surface of the lid body 2 at the upper part of the pivot pin 3-3, the lid body 2 can be stopped. Since the lid is opened by a predetermined amount at the same time as the lock is released, it is even more convenient to use.
