Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a compact container in which an outer shell made of a metal plate is assembled to a synthetic resin element, and its purpose is to improve the external appearance.

A container body made of synthetic resin and a lid body formed into a desired plate shape are fitted with an outer shell body made of a metal plate for the purpose of decoration, and both bodies are arranged in a butterfly pattern. Compact containers are known.

This outer shell has a thin box shape that corresponds to the external shape of the container body and the lid body, and is tightly fitted into the body. There is a hinge piece that attaches to the
Conventionally, the outer shell was fitted except for this hinge piece, so some of the resin material of the hinge piece was exposed to the outside, and the decorative effect of placing the metal outer shell was The number of deaths had been reduced and the appearance was extremely unsightly.

The present invention is a compact container devised to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, and includes substantially thin box-shaped outer shells made of metal plates that are fitted into a container body and a lid body made of synthetic resin. It has a structure in which a part of the body is provided with a covering part that covers the hinge pieces provided on each of the two element bodies.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the container body 1 and the lid body 2 are shaped like frames by hollowing out thin sheets of synthetic resin in a desired shape, and a pair of hinge pieces 3 are provided at the rear end of the container body 1 at a predetermined distance. On the other hand, a hinge piece 4, which is assembled between the pair of hinge pieces 3, is hung down from the rear end of the lid body 2.

On the other hand, the outer shells 7 and 8 formed from relatively thick metal plates have a substantially thin box shape corresponding to the container body 1 or the lid body 2, respectively. Both rear ends of the outer shell body 7 are provided with protrusions 9 into which the hinge pieces 3 fit, corresponding to the hinge pieces 3, and similarly, the rear end of the outer shell body 8 for the lid body 2 A protrusion 10 corresponding to the hinge piece 4 is provided at the center.

For example, the protruding portion 9 of the outer shell 7 for the container body 1 is integrally provided with a covering portion 11 that covers the rear end surface and the upper end surface of the hinge piece 3 of the container body 1.
After fitting the outer shell 7 into the container body 1, the covering portion 11 is bent to cover the outer surface portion of the hinge piece 3 facing the hinge piece 4 of the lid body 2.

Similarly, a protruding portion 10 of the outer shell 8 for the lid body 2 is integrally provided with a covering portion 12 that covers the rear end surface and the lower end surface of the hinge piece 4 of the lid body 2, as well as the front end surface. The outer surface of the hinge piece 4 facing the hinge piece 3 of the container body 1 is covered.

In the above-described configuration, the outer shell 7 is fitted and fixed to the container body 1, the outer shell 8 is fitted and fixed to the lid body 2, and the hinge pieces 3 and 4 are assembled to form the hinge. They are connected via pins, but in the hinge portion of the container body and lid formed in this way, a certain amount of space is formed between the container body and the lid to ensure smooth opening and closing operations. However, in the present invention, the outer surfaces of the hinge pieces 3 and 4 of both elements 1 and 2 are Since it is covered, the synthetic resin material of the elements 1 and 2 cannot be seen from the space between them, resulting in an extremely attractive appearance.

Outer shells 7 and 8 for the base bodies 1 and 2 as described above
By assembling, a recess 13 into which a drum containing cosmetics is fitted is formed in the container body 1, and a recess 14 into which a mirror plate is fitted is formed in the lid body 2.

In addition, locking pieces 5 and 6 for maintaining the closed state are respectively provided on opposing surfaces of the container body 1 and the lid body 2 on the side opposite to the hinge.

Then, the container body 1 and the lid body 2 have a concave portion 1 in advance.
3 and 14 may be formed, and in this case, it is possible to make the metal plates of the outer shells 7 and 8 thin.

As is clear from the above description, the compact container of the present invention can cover the entire outer surface of the container body and lid body made of synthetic resin with a metal shell body, In particular, since the hinge part where the gap is formed can be covered by a part of the outer shell, the metal effect of the outer shell can be fully brought out, and the structure is simple and molding is easy. It has many excellent effects such as being easy to use.
