Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Field of the Invention>> This invention relates to a storage box for a cosmetic case, a sewing box, a jewelry box, etc., which can be used also as a dressing table.

<<Prior Art and Its Problems>> Conventionally, as this type of storage box, a jewelry box has been put into practical use, which has a rear end connected to a main body and a top lid with a mirror attached to the back side.

In the case of such a conventional jewelry box, by opening the top lid and standing on its feet, you can reflect your image in the mirror attached to the back of the top lid.

From this point of view, the inventors of the present invention have come to provide a cosmetic case that has a front lid whose rear end is connected to the front upper part of the main body and a mirror is attached to the back surface.

In the case of such a vanity case, by inverting the front lid and standing it upright around the joint part with the main body, it is possible to reflect one's own image in the mirror attached to the back of the front lid.

However, in both the jewelry boxes and cosmetic boxes mentioned above, when you reflect yourself in the mirror,
The angle and height of the mirror remain unchanged.

Therefore, for example, when placing such a storage box on top of a kotatsu and reflecting oneself in the mirror attached to the back of the lid while touching the kotatsu, a person may bend down or move away from the mirror to change their posture. Unless you change the angle and height of the mirror by changing the mirror or placing books under the storage box, it can be difficult to make the mirror reflect your face and hair clearly.

Therefore, the jewelry boxes that have been put into practical use in the past and the cosmetic boxes that the inventor of the present application proposed earlier have been found to be unsatisfactory in terms of usability when attaching earrings, doing hair styling, face makeup, etc. Furthermore, it tends to become nothing more than a storage box without being used as a dressing table, and as a result, there is a problem in that it lacks practicality.

<<Purpose of the invention>> This invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a storage box that can also be used as a mirror stand, in which the angle and height of the mirror can be adjusted as appropriate.

<<Structure of the invention>> In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention includes a pair of side plates provided on both left and right sides of the main body and having a continuous guide groove formed between the upper edge and the front edge; A top plate whose rear end is rotatably supported on the main body and a front plate having a mirror attached to its surface are connected so as to be foldable in two, and the guide grooves can be slid on both sides of the lower end of the front plate. The present invention is characterized by comprising a lid provided with an engaging member.

《Explanation of Examples》 Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail based on the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, side plates 2 are provided on both left and right sides of the main body 1, and a shaft 6 is provided between the left and right side plates 2.
A lid 3 is arranged in which a top plate 4 whose rear end is journalled to the main body 1 and a front plate 5 having a mirror 7 attached to the front are connected so as to be foldable in two by a hinge (not shown).

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1A, B, and C, the left and right side plates 2 each have a guide groove 8 continuously carved between the upper edge and the front edge. On both sides of the lower end of the front plate 5 of the lid 3, there are engaging members 9 that can slide on the guide grooves 8. The enlarged perspective view in FIG. 1B and the enlarged sectional view taken along the line - in FIG. 1C shown in FIG. It shows a state in which the mating member 9 is engaged, and the left side plate 2 and front plate 5 which are symmetrical to this
The left side part is omitted from illustration.

Further, a handle 10 is provided at the center of the top plate 4 of the lid 3, and a stopper 11 is provided at the lower end of the center of the front plate 5 for fixing to the main body 1. A lower box 12 that can be pulled out is provided at the bottom of the main body 1, and an inner box 13 with partitions is provided inside the box 12.

Also, side plate 2 is omitted for simplicity of drawing.
A stopper for suppressing the movement of the engaging member 9 is provided in the guide groove 8 near the front edge of the upper edge to prevent the front plate 5 from accidentally falling from the upper edge of the side plate 2 to the front edge. It is assumed that there is no such thing.

Next, a usage example of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1A, B, and C and FIG. 2 will be described.

When the lid 3 is closed and fixed to the main body 1 by the fasteners 11 as shown in FIG. 2, the cosmetic case can be easily carried by grasping the handle 10. It is possible.

When using the cosmetic case as a dressing table, remove the stopper 11 from the main body 1, then pull up the lid 3 by grasping the stopper 11 or the handle 10, and pull it along the guide groove 8 as shown in FIG. The front plate 5 of the lid 3 is connected to the side plate 2 by the engaging member 9 that can be slid by
from the front edge to the upper edge.

Usually, cosmetics are stored inside the main body 1, so the front panel 5 is moved to the upper edge of the side panel 2.
is further shifted toward the rear end of the main body 1, and the cosmetics are taken out from the inside of the main body 1.

Thereafter, the user's image will be reflected in the mirror 7 attached to the surface of the front panel 5.

At this time, in the process of moving the front plate 5 whose lower end is located on the upper edge of the side plate 2, the front plate 5 is moved over the upper edge of the side plate 2. Therefore, the angle and height will change.

Therefore, the mirror attached to the surface of the front plate 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, is given an angle and height that match the trajectory of the front plate 5 as the lid 3 opens and closes.

That is, in FIG. 3, state a indicates the state of the mirror 7 when the front plate 5 is located in front of the upper edge of the side plate 2 as shown in FIG. , until it reaches the center of the side plate 2, the reflective surface 7a of the mirror 7 gradually stands up as shown in states b, c, and d, and as it moves further behind the side plate 2, the reflective surface 7a of the mirror 7 rises again. The inclination of the reflecting surface 7a becomes shallow as in states e and f.

Further, the apparent height of the mirror 7 fluctuates more as the front plate 5 moves closer to the upper end of the front plate 5, and is highest when located at the center of the side plate 2. .

In this way, it is possible to give the mirror 7 an angle and a height that match the locus of travel of the front plate 5 as the lid 3 opens and closes.

<<Effects of the invention>> As is clear from the above explanation, this invention moves the engaging member provided at the lower end of the front plate of the lid along the guide groove formed on the side plate.
The angle and height of the mirror attached to the surface of the front plate of the lid can be changed, so when you reflect yourself in the mirror, you can easily see your face and hair as desired by simply operating the lid. It has the advantage of being able to be mirrored.

Additionally, since the lid extends over the top and sides of the main body, it is easy to store items inside the main body, and it is also easy to take out stored items, which has a great practical effect. play.
