Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention pivots the container body and the lid at each rear edge, and the lower surface of the first engager attached to the front wall of the container body is provided hanging from the front of the lid. The present invention relates to a compact container in which a closed state of the lid is maintained by engaging a second engaging element at the lower end of the engaging piece.

To open the lid of this type of compact container, finger hooks are usually attached to the container body and the lid.
This is done by pushing in the opposite direction, but it is difficult to achieve the above engagement properly, and even if the engagement is moderate, it is troublesome to open the lid using the two finger grips. I couldn't escape one thing.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and facilitates opening of the lid, and also facilitates molding and mounting of a member to be attached to the front wall of the container body for opening the lid.

To explain the drawings below, 1 is a compact container, the container has a container body 2 and a lid 3,
These are pivoted at each rear edge. An inner lid 4 may be interposed between the container body and the lid, and when the inner lid is provided, the rear edge of the inner lid may also be pivotally attached.

A recess 6 with an upper surface opening is formed in the upper front side of the front wall 5 of the container body, and a first engaging member 7 is attached to the upper edge of the intermediate portion of the recess. Further, pivot pins 8, 8 are projected from both left and right end walls of the recess.

The hook piece 9 is rotatably fitted into the recess. The hook piece has a bottom wall 11 and an upper wall 12 projecting rearward from the lower edge of the front wall 10 and the upper wall 12 from the upper edge of the front wall, respectively, and end walls 14, 14 with pin holes 13 attached to both ends thereof. A notch 15 is provided in the middle part of the rear part of the upper wall, and one or more receiving plates 16 are located below the notch.
is formed by connecting the front and bottom surfaces of the receiving plate to the front and bottom walls of the hook piece. pin hole 13,
For guiding the pivot pin into 13, a guide groove 17,
17 should be drilled. The guide groove extends from the rear edge of both end walls 14, 14 to the pin holes 13, 13, and the distance between the guide groove bottom surfaces 17a, 17a on the rear edge side is shorter than the distance between the tips of the pivot pins, and the guide groove on the pin hole side. The bottom surfaces of the guide grooves are inclined and bored so that the distance between the bottom surfaces is longer than the distance between the tips of the pivot pins. To fit the hook piece into the recess,
This can be done by placing the pivot pin at the rear edge of the guide groove, pushing the hook piece strongly backwards, and fitting the pivot pin into the pin hole.

An elastic engagement piece 18 is suspended from a top wall portion slightly rearward of the front wall 3a of the lid body 3.
A second engaging element 19 is attached to the rear surface of the lower end of the engaging piece. When the lid is closed, the lower part of the engaging piece 18 enters the notch 15, the lower end surface of the engaging piece 18 comes into contact with the upper surface of the receiving plate 16, and the second engaging element 19 touches the lower surface of the first engaging element 7. Provided to engage with.

When the inner lid 4 is provided, the front wall 4 of the inner lid is attached as shown in the figure.
A through hole 4b for passing the engaging piece is bored in the hole 4a.

The container body, hook piece, lid, and inner lid are each made of a synthetic resin material.

In the above configuration, as shown in FIG.
is closed and the lower part of the front wall 10 of the hook piece is pushed rearward, the hook piece rotates about the pivot point described above, and the receiving plate 16 moves toward the engagement piece 18.
The lower end is pushed forward and upward against its elasticity, and at this time the first and second engagers are disengaged. If the lid body is biased in the lid opening direction, the lid body will be opened at the same time as the engagement and disengagement. Further, when the lid is closed, the first and second engaging members are engaged, and the lower end surface of the engaging piece 18 is in contact with the upper surface of the receiving plate 16.

The present invention has the above structure, and the lid can be opened by simply pushing the lower part of the front wall of the hook piece backwards, making the lid opening operation extremely easy. The upper wall is made to protrude rearward from the edge, and end walls 14, 14 having pivot parts are attached to both ends thereof, and a receiving plate 16 is attached to the lower part of the upper wall by connecting to the front wall and the bottom wall.
Because of this provision, even if the hook piece is integrally molded from synthetic resin, each part can be formed to have approximately the same thickness to the extent that sink marks do not occur during molding, and the accuracy of the hook piece is not impaired. The upper surface of the receiving plate, which the lower end of the engaging piece contacts, is located below the notch provided in the upper wall, so the upper wall is brought into contact with the lower end of the engaging piece, and the upper wall pushes the engaging piece forward and upward. , the hook piece can be positioned higher than when the first and second engagers are disengaged, which is advantageous when forming a compact compact. By forming the hook piece as in the embodiment section, it is extremely easy to attach the hook piece.
