Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This proposal concerns compact containers.

A compact container usually has a compact main body and a lid that opens and closes the top surface of the main body, which are pivotally connected at each rear edge, and the lid is closed between the front of the compact main body and an engaging piece that hangs down from the front of the lid. An engaging means for maintaining the state is attached, and the detachment of the engaging means is
This is done by pushing the finger hooks provided on the front parts of both of the above members in opposite directions. However, it is difficult to properly engage the above-mentioned engagement means, and if the engagement is too strong, it becomes difficult to release the engagement.

The present invention eliminates such drawbacks, and the first embodiment shown in Figs. are pivoted by pins 3 at each rear edge. Engagement means 5 and 6 are attached to the front surface of the compact main body and the rear surface of an engagement piece 4 which is vertically provided from the front of the lid for maintaining the lid in the closed state.

A recess 7 is provided in the front part of the compact body.
The recess is for mounting a push button, which will be described later.
As shown in FIG. 2, tapered surfaces 8, 8 are formed in the deep parts of both left and right side walls of the recess, and a step 9 is formed between the rear end of the tapered surface and the front part of the left and right side walls of the recess. ，
9 is formed. The recess is formed large as shown in the figure, and the plate part 1 is inserted from above the middle part of the rear wall of the recess.
0 may be made to protrude forward, and the aforementioned engagement means 5 may be attached to the front end surface of the plate portion. In this case, a space 11 is formed between the lower surface of the plate and the bottom surface of the recess.

A push button 12 is mounted in the recess so as to be slidable in the front and rear directions. The push button has elastic pieces 14, 14 projecting rearward from both left and right sides of the front wall 13, and a projecting piece 15 projecting rearward from the rear surface of the front wall. In addition to these, the bottom plate 16 may be inserted into the space and protrude rearward. Elastic piece 1
The rear end portions of 4 and 14 are brought into contact with the tapered surfaces 8 and 8. At the rear of both of these elastic pieces, there are the above-mentioned step portions 9, 9.
Protrusions 14a, 14a that can be engaged with are attached,
It is preferable to prevent the push button from being pulled out from within the recess. As shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface of the protruding piece 15 is formed into an inclined surface 15a that is high at the front and low at the rear, and the lower end of the aforementioned engaging piece 4 is engaged with the rear upper surface. .

When the push button 12 is pushed backward from the above state, the lower end of the engagement piece 4 is pushed up along the inclined surface 15a, and the engagement means 5 and 6 are disengaged, and the elastic piece 1
4 and 14 are elastically deformed by tapered surfaces 8 and 8. When the push button is released in this state, both elastic pieces 1 move along the tapered surfaces 8, 8 due to the elastic return of the elastic pieces 14, 14.
The rear ends 4 and 14 move forward to return the push button 12 to its original position.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the left and right side surfaces of the recess are formed into vertical plane shapes, and the rear part of the tapered surface protrudes into the lower part of the rear of the recess. In addition, the tapered surface front part was formed by further entering the front part of the compact body from the lower part of the recess, but in the second embodiment, as described above, a part of the tapered surface is made to protrude from the left and right side surfaces of the recess, The tapered surface and the above-mentioned step portion 9,
9, the left and right side surfaces of the recess are formed. In addition to the embodiments described above, the rear upper surface of the recess may be closed. In the case of the second embodiment, the first
A push button 12 similar to the embodiment may be provided so that when the push button is pushed in, the engaging means is disengaged, and when the push button is released, the push button is returned to its original position.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and when the push button is pushed in, the engagement means provided on the compact body and the engagement piece hanging down from the lid body are disengaged, so the operation is easy to perform, and when the push button is pushed in, the push button Slope 1 provided on
5a presses against the lower surface of the engagement piece 4 in a wedge shape and pushes up the engagement piece, so it is possible to obtain a greater push-up force than the push-in force, making it easy to release the lid, and when the push button is released, the above-mentioned The push button is returned to its original position by elastically returning the elastic pieces 14, 14 which had been elastically deformed due to the pushing, so that when the lid body is closed, the protruding piece 15 of the push button
It does not become a hindrance and can be easily blocked.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A compact main body 1 and a lid 2 for opening and closing the top surface of the compact main body are pivotally connected at each rear edge, and the lid is connected to an engaging piece 4 hanging from the front of the compact main body and the front of the lid. In a compact container provided with engagement means 5 and 6 for maintaining the closed state, a recess 7 is provided on the front surface of the compact main body, and a push button 12 is provided in the recess so as to be slidable in the front and rear directions. Elastic pieces 1 are attached to the tapered surfaces 8, 8 formed on both the left and right sides of the recessed portion and protrude rearward from both left and right sides of the push button front wall 13.
The rear ends of 4 and 14 are brought into contact with each other, and the engaging piece 4
The lower end of the engaging piece 4 is pushed up along the inclined surface 15a by engaging the lower surface with the inclined surface 15a of the upper surface of the protruding piece 15 that projects rearward from the front wall of the push button, and pushing the push button backward. As the engagement means disengages, the elastic pieces 14, 14 are elastically deformed by the tapered surfaces, and when the push button is released, the elastic pieces return elastically, causing the rear ends of both elastic pieces to move forward along the tapered surfaces to return the push button to its original position. A compact container characterized by being formed so as to be returnable.
