Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an unlocking mechanism for a clasp in a cosmetic compact, and in particular provides a cosmetic compact that allows the clasp to be unlocked easily and safely by using an operating lever. The purpose is to

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, 1 is a rectangular dish-shaped container outer frame, 2 is a container inner frame that is stored and mounted within the outer frame 1 and forms a cosmetic filling chamber 3 in the center of the outer frame 1, and 4 and 5 are the inner frames. 2 L-shaped plate-shaped operating levers are disposed facing each other in the gap between the inner frame 2 and the outer frame 1 so as to surround the outer enclosure from the side to the center of the front; 6 is pivoted to the rear of the container outer frame 1; Each part of the lid is molded from synthetic resin.

The container outer frame 1 has a notch in the middle part of the left and right side walls 7, 7, and the notch space in the bottom wall 8 is formed into a step-shaped stopper 9, and the rear end of the both side walls 7, 7 is formed. Key-shaped locking portions 10, 10 are formed on the inside, respectively.

The container inner frame 2 does not have a bottom wall, and has a decorative board 12 extending outward from the upper edge of a square frame-shaped peripheral wall 11 smaller in size than the outer frame 1, and the back surface of the decorative board 12. A short hanging wall 13 or a step corresponding to this is fitted to the inner circumference of the outer frame 1 and fixed to the outer frame 1, and the peripheral wall 11 is connected to the bottom wall 8 of the outer frame 1. A cosmetics filling chamber 3 is formed. still,
A window 14 is opened in the center of the front decorative panel 12.

The operating levers A, 4 are attached by engaging the hook-shaped portion 16 at the rear end of the side plate 15 with the locking portion 10 of the outer frame 1. A thick push button 17 is formed on the outer surface of the middle part of the side plate 15 to be fitted into the notch space of the side wall 7 of the outer frame 1 so as to fill this space, and a push button 17 is formed near the free end of the front plate 18. There is a locking protrusion 1 on the front.
9 are provided protrudingly, and further a whisker-shaped resin spring 20 is provided which abuts against the outer surface of the inner frame 2 from the inner surface of the side plate 15 and the front plate 18.
21 protrudes diagonally, and these springs 20, 2
1, it is always urged toward the outer surface side, that is, toward the outer frame 1 side. The lower surface of the push button 17 hangs down somewhat from the lower surface of the side plate 15, and when the push button 17 is pressed inward, this hanging portion comes into contact with the stopper 9 and the push button 17 is suspended.
The amount of displacement of the indentation is regulated.

The operating levers B and 5 also have a push button 23 on the outer surface of the middle part of the side plate 22, and a key-shaped part 24 at the rear end of the side plate 22 is locked to a locking part 10 at the rear end of the outer frame 1. These operating levers B, 5 are connected to the tip of the front plate 25,
It is formed into a diagonally rearward engaging slope A that abuts the free end of the operating lever A, 4. Incidentally, although the distal end portion with this engagement slope A moves in the left-right direction of the compact, it is kept from swinging in the front-rear direction.

The lid 6 has a mirror 26 attached to the center of the back surface, and an engaging member 27 that hangs downward from the front back surface through the window 14 of the decorative board 11.
The other engagement protrusion 28 of the stopper, which engages with the engagement protrusion 19, is provided on the lower back surface. Note that 29 indicates a puff.

In the above structure, the operating lever A, 4 has a spring 20,
21, but the free end of the front plate 18 is supported by the engaging slope I at the tip of the front plate 25 of the operation lever B, 5, and is in an appropriate state of stored force, so that the lid is closed. In this state, the engaging protrusions 19 and 28 are resiliently engaged, and the catch is stably locked.

To unlock the latch in order to open the lid from this state, use two fingers of one hand, for example, the thumb and middle finger, on both sides of the compact, that is, on the operating levers A, 4, and B.
What is necessary is to pinch the push buttons 17 and 23 of No. 5 and press the push buttons inward. Then, the free ends of the operating levers A, 4 and the tips of the operating levers B, 5 are driven to push toward each other, and as a result of this drive, the free ends of the operating levers A, 4 engage the engagement slopes of the tips of the operating levers B, 5. It slides along, that is, moves backward (inward). That is, since the free ends of the operating levers A and 4 move in a direction away from the engaging member 27 on the lid 6 side, the engaging protrusions 19 and 28 are disengaged, and the stopper is unlocked. Here, if a spring 30 with a barb, for example, is provided at the rear of the lid 6 for pushing up the lid, and the spring 30 is installed so that the spring 30 is loaded with force when the lid 6 is closed,
After the clasp is unlocked, the return force of the spring 30 allows the lid 6 to be opened wide.

In the above embodiment, the unlocking push buttons 17, 23 are provided on both the left and right sides, but they may be provided on only one of them. That is, even if only the push button 17 side is pressed, or even if only the push button 23 side is pressed, the free ends of the operating levers A and 4 can be moved rearward and unlocked as described above.

Further, contrary to the above embodiment, a structure may be adopted in which the free ends of the operating levers A and 4 are moved forward (outward). That is, contrary to the above, the engagement slope A is diagonally forward, and the free ends of the operating levers A and 4 are arranged on the slope A side, the springs 20 and 21 are also formed on the opposite outer surface side, and the engagement protrusion 19 is operation lever A,
The engaging protrusion 28 may be provided on the rear side of the fourth front plate 18, and the engaging protrusion 28 may be provided on the front side of the engaging member 27.

Since the clasp of this type of compact is generally small, it is inconvenient to unlock it, and if the lock is too tight, it may even damage your fingertips and nails. However, according to the present invention, the lock can be unlocked by pinching the push buttons 17, 23 on both sides of the compact with your fingers, and using the pads of your fingers to press the push buttons 17, 2, which are relatively wide flat surfaces.
Since all you have to do is press 3, the unlocking operation is easy and safe as there is no risk of damaging your fingertips. Furthermore, since the engaging protrusions 19 and 28 are elastically engaged by the springs 20 and 21, the locking of the catch is not only reliable and safe, but also the adjustment of the engagement between the engaging protrusions 19 and 28 can be performed by the fixed arrangement. It is easier to assemble and adjust because it is rougher than the conventional one. Further, the push buttons 17 and 23 are incorporated into the outer frame 1 as if they were part of it, and this outer frame 1
Since the outer surface does not have a stopper part unlike the conventional one, the outer surface is simple and has an excellent design.
