Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a portable compact that stores a cosmetic material such as white powder inside.

Conventionally, there are various types of portable compacts that women carry around in their handbags and the like on the market. However, with many of these conventional devices, when opening and closing the compact, you have to support the compact with one hand and open the top cover with the other hand, which is inconvenient to use, and can only be operated with one hand. So, some devices were devised that allowed the top lid to be opened with a single touch, but
All of them have a complicated structure, and as a result, the compact itself becomes large, making it unsuitable for carrying. Moreover, such a problem has become particularly noticeable in compacts that have an inner lid in addition to a lower lid and an inner lid, and are provided with a chamber for storing puffs inside.

This idea was made to solve the problems of the conventional compacts mentioned above, and it has a simple structure that allows one-touch opening and closing operation with one hand, and it does not have a bulky external shape. The purpose of this is to provide a compact design with no clutter.

This invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 4, the upper part of the lower cover 1 includes:
In the sliding groove 1a formed in the front-rear direction on both inner walls,
Projections 2 formed in the front and back directions at the bottom of both sides, respectively.
The inner cover 2 is slidably attached to the lower cover 1 by slidingly fitting the inner cover 2 into the lower cover 1. Further, the rear end of the upper lid 3 is attached to the rear end of the inner lid 2 by a pivot pin 4 so as to be openable and closable. A spring 5 interposed between the upper lid 3 and the upper lid 3 biases the lid in the opening direction. 6 is a mirror fixed to the ceiling of the upper lid 3.

As particularly shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower lid 1 has vertical locking portions 1b formed above the sliding grooves 1a at the rear ends of both inner walls that make sliding contact with the side walls of the inner lid 2. A locking protrusion 1c is formed at the rear end of the sliding groove 1a and projects downward into the sliding groove 1a.

In addition, as particularly shown in FIG.
A vertical locking protrusion 2b is formed above the protrusion 2a, and an upwardly projecting engagement protrusion 2c is formed at the top of the tip of the protrusion 2a.

Then, the inner cover 2 is in the closed position (third position) with respect to the lower cover 1.
When the locking protrusion 2b is engaged with the locking part 1b of the lower cover 1 and positioned, and when the inner cover 2 is slid backward with respect to the lower cover 1, the locking protrusion 2b is in the state shown in the figure. 2c is engaged with the locking protrusion 1c of the lower lid 1 to prevent further retreat.

A pair of vertical walls 1d are formed in the center of the front inner wall of the lower cover 1 and extend rearward from the front inner wall. A pair of horizontal locking protrusions 1e are formed on the upper portions of the opposing side surfaces of the pair of walls 1d so as to face each other.
Between the first and second portions d, an inclined surface 1f is formed which slopes downward toward the rear.

As particularly shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a hanging portion 3a that projects downward from the lower surface of the upper lid 3 is provided at the center of the front end of the upper lid 3. Furthermore, a pair of elastic pieces 3b are vertically provided on both sides of the hanging portion 3a so that the tips can be elastically displaced in the width direction of the upper lid 3. are formed with engaging protrusions 3c that protrude outward, respectively. When the upper lid 3 is closed (FIGS. 2 and 3), the hanging portion 3a and the pair of elastic pieces 3b are connected to the engagement formed at the center of the front end of the inner lid 2 as shown in FIG. The lower end of the hanging part 3a is inserted into the matching hole 2d, and the lower end of the hanging part 3a is the inclined surface 1 of the lower cover 1.
The engaging protrusion 3 of each elastic piece 3b is brought into contact with the upper end of the elastic piece 3b.
c engages with the locking protrusion 1e to hold the upper lid 3 in a closed state.

In addition, when the upper lid 3 is in a closed state, the outer edge portion is accommodated within the front end wall and both side walls of the inner lid 2, and the tip portion is elastically moved against the front end wall of the inner lid 2 due to downward pressing force. It is now possible to descend.

Note that cosmetic tools such as a puff 7 can be stored in the lower lid 1, and a recess 2e for storing cosmetic materials is formed in the inner lid 2.

The method of using the above compact is as follows.

When the tip of the upper lid 3 is pressed downward (arrow A in Figures 3 and 4) from the closed lid state shown in Figures 1 to 3,
The tip of the upper lid 3 descends, and along with this the hanging portion 3
The lower end of a slides along the inclined surface 1f of the lower lid 1. When the hanging portion 3a presses the inclined surface 1f forward, the upper lid 3 itself is urged backward together with the inner lid 2, and the locking portion 1b of the lower lid 1 and the locking protrusion between the inner lid 2 The engagement with the strip 2b is disengaged, and the inner lid 2 and the upper lid 3 are slid rearward relative to the lower lid 1.

As the upper lid 3 slides rearward with respect to the lower lid 1, the relative positional relationship between the engaging protrusion 3c on the front end of the upper lid 3 and the locking protrusion 1e on the front end of the lower lid 1 shifts, and the engagement Since the protrusion 3c and the locking protrusion 1e no longer face each other, when the pressure on the tip of the upper lid 3 is released, the upper lid 3 is urged by the spring 5 and is automatically opened.

Since the engagement between the inner cover 2 and the lower cover 1 is released when the upper cover 3 is opened, the inner cover 2 can be slid rearward relative to the lower cover 1, and the lower cover 1 By opening the upper lid, cosmetic tools such as the puff 7 can be taken out. At this time, when the inner cover 2 is retreated to a predetermined position in the rear direction with respect to the lower cover 1, the locking protrusion 1c in the sliding groove 1a of the lower cover 1 engages with the protrusion 2a of the inner cover 2. Protrusion 2
c is engaged, and further retraction is prevented.

Next, when closing the upper lid 3, insert the inner lid 2 into the lower lid 1.
The lid is slid forward to engage the locking portion 1b and the locking protrusion 2b, thereby positioning the lid in the closed position. Then, when the upper lid 3 is closed, the engagement protrusion 3c on the front end of the upper lid 3 rides up and engages the locking protrusion 1e on the front end of the lower lid 1 due to the elasticity of the elastic piece 3b. The upper lid 3 is then locked in the closed state.

With the above-mentioned configuration, this device opens the top lid with a single touch by pressing the front end of the top lid downward, and further releases the engagement between the middle lid and the bottom lid. It has the excellent effect of being simple in structure.
