Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a drawer-type container, and particularly to a drawer-type container suitable for storing and carrying cosmetics and cosmetic tools.

In conventionally provided containers of this type, the front side of a hollow box-shaped container body is opened, and a drawer member containing cosmetics, etc. is inserted into the container body and can be freely pulled out from the opening surface. A biasing means such as a spring or a magnet is attached to the rear end to bias it forward, and the front end of the drawer member is pressed by the front edge of the lid pivoted to the rear end of the container body, and the lid is Generally, the drawer member is pushed out when opened. However, in this drawer-type container, the drawer member is pushed out at the same time as the lid is opened, but in actual use, after opening the lid, the position of the container must be adjusted on the palm of the hand before using cosmetics, etc. Therefore, it may be rather inconvenient if the drawer member is pushed out immediately. Further, when closing the lid after use, it is necessary to push the drawer member deep with one hand while closing the lid with the other hand, which is inconvenient as it requires both hands to operate.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a means for locking the drawer member to the container body at the rear end position, so that the drawer member can be locked regardless of whether the lid is opened or closed. To provide a drawer-type container which can be pulled out and stored, and which can be pulled out and stored with extremely simple operations.

Hereinafter, a drawer-type container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show an example of the present invention being used in a compact container for cosmetics. It consists of a lid 2 which is connected to be openable and closable and has a mirror 4 fixed to its back surface, and a drawer member 6 which is inserted into the container body 1 from the open front end 5 thereof and which can be freely drawn out. The front end of the lid body 2 is bent at a substantially right angle, and a protruding piece 7 is formed on the inner surface of this bent part, and this protruding piece engages with a protruding part 8 provided on the front end surface of the drawer member 6. , the lid body 2 occupies the closed position. Further, a concave storage part 9 is formed on the upper surface of the drawer member 6, and an inner tray 10 filled with cosmetics is removably fitted therein, so that when the cosmetics run out, etc. The inner tray 10 can be replaced while the drawer member 6 is pulled out. An inner plate 1 is placed on the top of the container body 1.
An opening 11 having a diameter equal to the inner diameter of 0 is formed, and the cosmetic can be used with the drawer member 6 stored in the container body 1 (see FIG. 2). Reference numeral 12 denotes a spring, and one end of this spring 12 is fixed to the inner rear end surface of the container body 1, while the other end is in contact with the rear end surface of the stored drawer member 6, thereby causing the drawer member 6 is always urged forward.

The rear end of the drawer member 6 is partially cut out to form a recess 13.
is formed in the lower part of the recess 13, and a pair of spaced apart arms 14-14 extend in the recess in the front-rear direction, and their proximal ends reach the inner surface of the recess 13. . As shown in detail in FIG. 3, between the arms 14-14, there is formed a groove 16 extending forward from the rear edge of the drawer member 6 and a hole communicating with the groove at the front end of the groove. An engagement recess 15 is defined, and the width of the upper part 16a of the groove part 16 is narrower than the width of the lower part 16b, and the diameter of the hole part 17 is smaller than the wide width of the groove part 16. It is formed to have the same width as the lower part 16b. The inner surface 14a of the distal end of the arm 14 is sloped so that the width of this portion of the groove 16 gradually increases outwardly, and the inner surface 14a of the distal end of the arm 14
4 is flexible and expands in the left and right direction. Incidentally, reference numeral 18 indicates a space defined by the inner (right side in FIG. 3) arm 14 and the side surface of the recess 13.

On the other hand, an attachment hole 19 communicating with the inside of the container body is bored in the upper surface of the container body 1 at a position corresponding to the engagement recess 15, and a push button 20 is inserted into this attachment hole 19.
is inserted so as to be movable in the vertical direction. push button 20
The upper end portion 20a serving as a pressing surface and the engaging recess 15
The lower end 20b that engages with the hole 17 is integrally connected by a small diameter shaft 20c, and the lower surface of the upper end 20a and the lower end flange 19 of the mounting hole 19.
The lower end portion 20b is located inside the container body 1 and is in contact with the lower surface of the lower end flange 19a. In addition, the lower end 2 of this push button 20
The diameter of 0b is smaller than the diameter of the hole 17 of the engagement recess 15 and the width of the lower groove 16b, and larger than the width of the upper groove 16a.
The diameter of the shaft portion 20c is smaller than the width of the upper groove portion.

In the drawer-type compact container configured in this way, when the drawer member 6 is stored inside the container body 1, the lower end 20b of the push button 20 attached to the container body 1 is attached to the drawer member 6. It engages with the hole 17 of the formed engagement recess 15 and is locked in the hole by the narrow upper groove 16a of the engagement recess. is being prevented (4th
(see figure). From this state, the spring 21
When the upper end 20a of the push button 20 is pressed downward with a finger against the urging force of become. At the same time, the drawer member 6 is pushed forward by the spring 12, and the lower end 20b of the push button 20 passes through the lower groove 16b and separates from the engagement recess 15 together with the shaft 20c, so that the drawer member 6 can be freely moved from now on. It is possible to pull out the inner plate 10 and replace it.

Further, in order to store the drawer member, it is sufficient to push it into the inside of the container body 1. As a result, the lower end 20b of the push button 20, which has been returned to the upper position by the spring 21, first comes into contact with the inclined surface 14a of the arm 14 of the drawer member, and bends the arm 14 in the left-right direction while moving into the upper groove 16a. When the arm 14 enters and reaches the hole 17, the arm 14 returns to its original state and locks the lower end.

Note that as a means for guiding the push button 20 to the hole 17, in addition to the means of the above-mentioned embodiment, for example, the arm 1 may be used.
It is also possible to provide a vertical slope on the inner surface of the tip of the push button 4, so that the lower end 20b of the push button in contact with the slope is guided by the slope and enters the lower groove 16b.

In addition, the present invention is applicable not only to compact containers but also to drawer-type containers in general.
For example, in the case of a container that does not require a mirror, the lid 2 of the above embodiment may be omitted and the opening 11 of the container body 1 may be closed to form a box-shaped container. When used as a compact container, the opening 11 is closed to form a recess, and cosmetic tools such as puffs are stored in this recess, and when in use, the user picks up the puff, etc. and then pulls out the drawer member to apply makeup. You can do it like this.

As described above, in the drawer-type container according to the present invention, an engaging recess is formed in the drawer member provided with the storage portion, and a push button that is biased upward is attached to the container body that stores the drawer member, and the push button is pressed. is engaged with the engagement recess when in its upper position;
Since the engagement is released when the push button is pressed downward, the drawer member can be pulled out or stored regardless of whether the lid is opened or closed, which is convenient for use, and moreover, the drawer member can be pulled out or stored. This can be reliably performed by an extremely simple one-touch operation of pressing a push button. Furthermore, if the engagement recess is defined by a pair of flexible arms, and the inner surface of the rear end of the arms is inclined so that the recess expands outward, the drawer member When storing it, it is only necessary to simply push it in, which further improves usability.
