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 also near the free end of the front plate 18. There is a locking protrusion 1 on the front.
9 protrudes, and from below this engagement protrusion 19,
A lid push-up member 30 having an engagement slope 1 that gradually rises from the front side of the projection 19 is protrudingly provided, and a whisker-shaped resin spring 20 that comes into contact with the outer surface of the inner frame 2 from the inner surface of the side plate 15 and the front plate 18. 21 projecting obliquely, and are always urged toward the outer surface side, that is, toward the outer frame 1 side, by these springs 20 and 21. 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 to regulate the amount of displacement of the push button 17.

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 inclined surface that abuts the free ends of the operating levers A and 4. Incidentally, the distal end portion with the engagement slope RO can move in the left-right direction of the compact, but is not allowed to swing 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 engagement slope at the tip of the front plate 25 of the operating lever B, 5, and is in an appropriate energy storage state, 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, operation levers A, 4 and B,
The free ends of the control levers A and 5 are driven so as to push toward each other, and as a result of this drive, the free ends of the control levers A and 4 slide along the engagement slopes of the tips of the control levers B and 5, that is, backward (inward). Move to. That is, since the free ends of the operating levers A, 4 move in the direction away from the engaging member 27 on the lid 6 side, the engaging protrusion 19
and 28 are disengaged, and the catch is unlocked.

In this case, since the lid pushing member 30 also moves rearward, the engaging slope A pushes up the unlocked lid 6 via the engaging member 27, as shown by the broken line in FIG. Open 6 upwards.

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 side is set diagonally forward, and the free ends of the operating levers A and 4 are arranged on the slope side, the springs 20 and 21 are also formed on the opposite outer surface side, and the engagement protrusion 19 is operation lever A,
4. The engaging protrusion 28 may be provided on the rear side of the 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. Moreover, since the lid 6 opens upward after the clasp is unlocked, it is convenient for use. 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 engaging protrusions 1
Since the adjustment of the engagement between 9 and 28 may be rougher than that of a fixed arrangement, assembly and adjustment thereof is easy. In addition, the push buttons 17 and 23 are incorporated into the outer frame 1 as if they were part of the outer frame 1, and the outer surface of the outer frame 1 does not have a stopper part unlike conventional ones, so the outer surface is simple and aesthetically pleasing. Are better.
