Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a cosmetic container such as a compact.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the field of containers such as compacts, cosmetic compacts have been known in which a container body and a lid are hingedly connected and locking means such as engaging protrusions are provided on the respective peripheries. However, when opening the lid of this compact, a strong force is required to disengage the engaging protrusion on the container body and the engaging protrusion on the lid, making it difficult to open the lid. As a result, the engaging protrusion may be damaged.

Therefore, a concave portion is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the container body, and a convex portion with an engaging protrusion that fits into the concave portion is provided on the inner surface of the lid body corresponding to this concave portion, and a convex portion of the lid body is provided on the inner wall surface of the concave portion. In addition to providing an engaging protrusion that engages with the engaging protrusion of the part, a slide hole is provided below the engaging protrusion, and a slide member having a tapered top surface on the head is inserted into the slide hole. A compact has been proposed that is slidably inserted and uses the tapered surface of the slide member to push up the convex part of the lid to disengage the engaging protrusion of the lid and the engaging protrusion of the container body. (Jikko No. 56-25616).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, this compact has a recess formed on the outer peripheral edge of the container body, which has an engaging protrusion on the back wall surface.
Further, since the slide hole is provided below the engagement recess, the thickness of the container body becomes large, and the addition of the slide hole and the slide member complicates the structure and increases cost. In addition, in order to make the container body thinner, it is possible to make the slide member thinner and also make the slide hole into which it is slid in thinner. However, if this is done, the strength will be weakened and damage accidents may occur. Since this occurs frequently, it is almost impossible to realize.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a cosmetic container in which the lid can be opened easily and reliably in one action, without increasing the thickness of the container body or increasing the overall cost. It is something.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the cosmetic container of this invention is provided with a groove that is open at one end on the front outer circumference of the main body on the top surface of the main body that accommodates the cosmetic, and the open side part of the bottom wall of this groove is cut out. A cosmetic applicator is formed in the notch, and the cosmetic applicator is slidably placed in the groove with its axial direction aligned with the direction in which the groove is formed and its rear end positioned at the open end of the groove. one of the recess and the protrusion is provided on the open end side of the bottom of the groove or the inner surface of the lid body corresponding to that part, and the other of the recess and the protrusion is provided on the cosmetic applicator. Since the front and rear corners of one of the recesses and the protrusions are formed into a tapered surface, and the other front and rear corners of the recess and the projection are formed into a tapered surface corresponding to the tapered surface, the cosmetic applicator The lid can be opened by pushing it in or pulling it out. Therefore, when applying makeup, the lid can be opened at the same time by pulling out the cosmetic applicator, and in this case, no special operation is required for opening the lid.
In addition, since both the front and rear corners of the recesses and protrusions provided in the groove (or lid) and the cosmetic applicator for opening the lid are tapered, after applying makeup, Even if the cosmetic applicator is moved back and forth slightly from its proper position, when the lid is closed, for example, one of the tapered surfaces of the convex part of the lid will come into contact with one of the tapered surfaces of the concave part of the cosmetic applicator. To automatically move a cosmetic applicator to an appropriate position. Therefore, there is no need to be so careful about returning the cosmetic applicator to its proper position. Furthermore, since there is no need to provide a slide hole or a slide member in the recess formed in the outer periphery of the main body as in the conventional case, the main body can be made thinner, and the container can be made thinner. Moreover, since the structure is simple, the cost is low.
