Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a compact container for cosmetics, etc.

A conventional general compact container includes, for example, a container body made of plastic or the like having a recess for storing cosmetics, and a lid body made of plastic or the like that is connected to the rear end of the container body by a hinge pin so as to be openable and closable. There is a container which is closed by protrusions formed on the front ends of the container body and the lid. However, with such conventional opening/closing mechanisms, it is necessary to pry open the lid during use, so if the engagement between the protrusions is too strong, a large amount of force is required when opening or closing, which is extremely inconvenient. . Additionally, a mirror is usually attached to the back of the lid, but in order to hold it at the desired angle it must rely on the frictional force of the hinge pin, resulting in Another problem was that the work of inserting the pins was complicated.
Furthermore, conventional compact containers have a protruding piece formed at a conspicuous position at the front end, which imposes design constraints and lacks novelty.

The present invention was developed by focusing on these conventional problems, and its purpose is to create a device that is easy to open and close, can obtain the desired opening angle, is simple in structure, and has an excellent appearance. Our goal is to provide compact containers.

Hereinafter, a compact container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The figure shows an embodiment of the compact container of the present invention, and this compact container consists of a container body 1 made of plastic or the like and a frame 2 made of plastic or the like. Storage recess 3a for cosmetics etc. on the bottom surface)
The mirror 3b has boss portions 1a on both sides of its rear end. The frame body 2 has a pair of opposing side plates 4a and 4b.
and an upper support frame 5 located between the rear ends (right side in FIG. 1) of the pair of side plates 4a, 4b, and an upper support frame 5 extending from the rear ends of the pair of side plates 4a, 4b to near the tips (left side in FIG. 1). The bottom plate 6, the rear end wall 8, and the side plate 4
It has a slide groove 7a and a plurality of positioning recesses 7b formed so as to face each other on the inner surfaces of the inner surfaces of the slide grooves 7a and 4b. The length of the side plates 4a, 4b in the longitudinal direction is approximately the same as or slightly larger than the length of the container body 1, while the space between the upper support frame 5 and the bottom plate 6 is such that the container body 1 is The dimensions are such that they can be tightly held together to prevent them from falling out easily. The slide groove 7a has a width such that the boss portion 1a of the container body 1 is fitted and can be slid in the longitudinal direction. It ends at a position that does not reach the full length in the longitudinal direction. The positioning recess 7b is formed at a predetermined position on the lower edge of the slide groove 7a, and the boss portion 1a of the container body 1 falls into the recess 7b and is locked therein (see A and R in Fig. 2). reference). The front end surface of the upper support frame 5 is a receiving surface 5 having a predetermined slope.
It is formed in a.

The opening/closing operation of the compact container having the above configuration will be explained based on FIGS. 3A to 3D.

FIG. 3A shows the closed state in which the container body 1 is housed in the frame 2 with the back side facing the bottom plate 6, and FIG. A state in which the distal end portion is engaged is shown. From this state, remove the container body 1 from the boss portion 1a.
When the container body 1 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (opening direction) around , the state shown in FIG. Since they are positioned at an angle, the cosmetics and mirror 3b stored in the storage recess 3a can be used. To close it, just do the opposite. Further, the inclination angle of the container body 1 when opened can be adjusted by fitting the boss portion 1a of the container body 1 into a desired positioning recess 7b and rotating the boss portion 1a within the recess 7b. Become.

Therefore, this compact container can be opened and closed by a series of smooth operations such as sliding and rotating the container body 1, and there is no need for the conventional operation of prying open the lid. In addition, since a desired opening angle can be reliably obtained, this is especially advantageous when using the mirror 3b, and the assembly work can be done easily.

It goes without saying that the number and position of the recesses 7b in the slide groove 7a can be set freely. Further, the structure for holding the container main body 1 in the closed position shown in FIG. However, for example, magnets may be attached to the rear end surface of the container body 1 and the rear end surface 8 of the frame body 2 to hold them by magnetic force, or an additional recess may be provided at the rear end side of the slide groove 7a. boss part 1
Various methods are possible, such as fitting a.

In this way, in the compact container according to the present invention,
A pair of bosses are integrally formed on both sides of the rear end of the container body having a recess for storing cosmetics, etc., and the frame body has a pair of opposing side plates and an upper support located on the upper surface of the rear end of the side plates. A space is formed between the frame and the upper support frame to hold the container body, and a bottom plate is integrally formed with the side plate, and the boss portion formed on the inner surface of the side plate is fitted to slide. It has a sliding groove that moves and one or more positioning recesses that are formed along the sliding groove and into which the boss falls and is locked, and the container body is placed in the space where the storage recess is located. The container body is housed so as to face the bottom plate, and the container body is opened by advancing and rotating the container body relative to the frame body, making the opening operation during use extremely easy and smooth. At the same time, it is convenient because the container body can be reliably held at the desired opening angle, and furthermore, it has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, giving a novel impression in terms of functionality and design. Such,
It has various excellent effects.
