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 for this reason, a system is adopted in which the lid is locked with a latch to ensure that the lid is kept closed. However, in the case of this clasp, if the lock is too hard, it is often inconvenient to unlock the lock, and in some cases, it may even damage the fingertips or nails.

In view of the above-mentioned points, an object of the present invention is to provide a container which eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks by incorporating an operating lever into the container body and allowing the user to press and operate the operating lever to unlock the clasp.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is a rectangular container body, 2 has an outward flange 3 on the upper circumferential surface, and the outward flange 3 is placed on the upper end surface of the circumferential wall 4 of the container body 1. A rectangular cylindrical internal container body 5 fitted into the container body 1 is a lid that is secured to the rear part of the container body 1 by a hinge 7 at a rear end side hanging wall 6a.

The container body 1 has a thick wall portion 8 on the inner side of the upright portion of the front side peripheral wall 4a, and a rectangular window is formed in the center of the front side peripheral wall 4a. An engaging protrusion 9 for a stopper is protruded from the outer surface. The center part 6c of the front side hanging wall 6b of the lid 5 hangs down for a long time so that the lower end part extends over the window of the container body 1, and the engaging protrusion 9 is provided on the inner surface of the central part hanging wall 6c. An engagement hole 10 for a stopper to be engaged with is provided.

An operating lever 1 is installed in the window of the front side peripheral wall 4a of the container body.
Install 1. This operating lever 11 has a corresponding rectangular plate body 12 that is fitted into the window, and the upper end surface of this plate body 12 is in contact with the lower end surface of the front side central hanging wall 6c of the lid 5 on the front side. The rear side that comes into contact with the upper edge of the window has a slope that slopes slightly forward, and the back side of the plate 12 has a side wall that becomes wider toward the rear as it goes downward. 13,13
, and support shafts 14 , 14 located below and rearward of the lower end surface of the plate body 12 are provided at the lower ends of the side walls 13 , 13 to protrude left and right outward, and the pair of The support shafts 14, 14 of the container body 1
By inserting it into the shaft hole provided in the thick wall part 8 of
It is rotatably supported by the window on the rear side.

In the above structure, when the lid 5 is in the closed state, the engaging hole 10 engages with the engaging protrusion 9 as shown in the figure, and the stopper is locked, and at this time, the lower end surface of the front central hanging wall 6c of the lid 5 is in contact with the upper end surface of the operating lever 11, and the operating lever 11 is fitted into the window of the container body 1. Here, in order to open the lid, the front surface of the operating lever 11 may be pressed inward as shown by the arrow.
Then, the plate 12 of the operating lever 11 is attached to the support shaft 14,
14 as a fulcrum, and as a result of this rotation, the horizontal step on the upper end surface pushes the lid 5 upward through the front center hanging wall 6c. Unlock the latch and open the lid.

In the above embodiment, a window is formed in the front side circumferential wall 4a of the container body, and the operating lever 11 is fitted and attached to this window. Even if the operating lever 11 is attached to the notch and the engagement protrusion 9 of the stopper is provided on the upper outer surface of the front side circumferential wall of the inner container body 2, the same purpose, function, and effect can be obtained. sell.

As mentioned above, in the present invention, the clasp can be unlocked by simply pushing the plate 12 with a wide pressing surface of the operating lever 11, so there is no risk of damaging fingertips or nails as with 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, the operating lever 11 is connected to the container body peripheral wall 4.
Since it is 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 design of the container's appearance. Therefore, the operating lever 11 has a simple shape in which the support shafts 14, 14 are provided on the plate body 12, and the structure is extremely simple and can be provided at low cost.
