Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention particularly relates to a two-tiered compact container that is suitable as a container for storing cosmetics and puffs that can be used in two ways, one above the other.

“Prior art” As is well known, two-way cake (Two-way cake)
Cosmetic products called ``Way CaKe'' have the characteristic that they can be used with or without water, but the conventional compact containers that contain these types of cosmetics are generally It is made on the premise that it will be used with water using a puff or sponge.

Therefore, the compact container itself has a two-tiered structure with a storage recess for storing cosmetics and a storage space for storing puffs, sponges, etc. on the upper and lower sides. Generally, the structure is equipped with ventilation holes necessary for active drying. The ventilation hole is provided in the bottom plate of the container body if the space for storing puffs or the like is in the lower stage, and is provided in the lid if the space is in the upper stage.

``Problems that the invention aims to solve'' By the way, in compact containers with this type of structure, ventilation holes are provided in the bottom plate and lid to promote drying of the puffs, as mentioned above. If the compact container is placed in a handbag, for example, the bottom plate with ventilation holes may come into surface contact with the inner surface of the handbag, or with other items (such as a notebook) inside the handbag, causing the ventilation holes to become blocked. There are many cases in which the air vents are damaged, and as a result, the function as a ventilation hole is impaired, resulting in a problem that the puff cannot be dried sufficiently.

As a solution to this point, the applicant has already
We proposed a compact container (Utility Model Application Publication No. 106012/1983) having the structure shown in Figures 13 to 15.

This consists of a container main body 1 having a storage space A for puffs P, etc., an inner lid 3 having a storage recess B for cosmetics, etc. in the center, and an upper lid 4 that opens and closes the storage recess B of the inner lid 3. are hinged together by pin 2, and
One or more ventilation holes 5 communicating with the accommodation space A are provided on the peripheral edge of the inner lid 3, and the upper lid 4 is formed in a size that does not block the ventilation holes 5 in the closed position. . With this configuration, it was possible to obtain the effect that each ventilation hole 5 can fully perform its function as a ventilation hole without being blocked even under various conditions.

However, in a compact container having such a structure, although the ventilation effect can be solved as described above, since the upper lid 4 is formed smaller than the inner lid 3, it is difficult to close the upper lid 4. Even in this state, all of the ventilation holes 5 are visible from the top surface, which is unfavorable in terms of appearance, and also limits the design.

Furthermore, due to the structure of not only the exemplified compact containers but also almost all general compact containers with ventilation holes, the puffs contained therein are visible from the outside through the ventilation holes, resulting in an unsightly appearance.

"Means for Solving the Problem" An inner lid having a recess for storing cosmetics, etc. in the center and an upper lid that covers the inner lid are hinged to a container body with an opening at the top and having a space for storing puffs, etc. In the container configured to be openable and closable, the circumferential side of the inner lid is configured so as not to protrude from the circumferential side of the upper lid when the upper lid is in the closed position, and the inner lid has an accommodation space for the container body on the circumferential side of the upper lid. The structure includes one or more ventilation holes communicating with the.

"Function" With the above configuration, the ventilation hole communicating with the storage space is completely invisible when looking at the entire container from the top lid side, so the presence of the ventilation hole may cause the appearance to look inferior. Never. Also,
There is no need to consciously design the top lid itself to be smaller than the inner lid or the container body by a predetermined dimension, and as a result, the degree of freedom in design is improved. Further, since the ventilation holes are open on the circumferential side, it is difficult for dirt and the like to enter, and cosmetics and the like remaining in the housing space are also difficult to leak to the outside. In addition, the ventilation hole itself opens on the circumferential side of the inner lid and is visible only from the circumferential side, and the opening position of the ventilation hole is located on the upper side of the puff accommodation space. , the stored puff is not visible from the outside through the ventilation hole.

Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the present invention. In these figures, reference numeral 10 is a container body, 20 is an inner lid, and 30 is an upper lid.

The container body 10 has an accommodation space A therein for accommodating the puff P and the like, and is generally formed in the shape of a thin box with an open top and a substantially rectangular plane. The inner lid 20 and the upper lid 30 are connected to the container body 10.
It is hinged to the rear wall side of the housing via a pin 12 and is configured to be openable and closable.

The inner lid 20 has a size that allows the container body 10 to be opened and closed with its peripheral lower surface in contact with the upper end surface of the peripheral wall of the container body 10, and has a dish-shaped depression in the center thereof toward the container body 10 side (downward). A storage recess B (cosmetics and the like are stored in this storage recess B) is provided. Further, the circumferential side surface 21 of the inner lid 20 is connected to the container body 1.
0 and the circumferential side surface 31 of the upper lid 30 . And this inner lid 20
From the circumferential side 21 to the inner lid 2
A plurality of cross-sectional ventilation holes 22 are provided intermittently along the circumferential side surface 21, extending inward along the lower surface of the container body 10 and communicating with the accommodation space A of the container body 10. As clearly shown in FIG. 1, the length of the ventilation hole 22 itself is longer than the thickness of the peripheral wall 13 of the container body 10. In the figure, reference numeral 14 indicates a protrusion for promoting ventilation provided on the inner bottom surface of the container body 10, 15 and 33 indicate hooks for temporarily fixing the top cover to the container body, and 32 indicates a mirror.

In a container having such a configuration, the circumferential side surface 21 of the inner lid 20 is formed flush with both the circumferential side surface 11 of the container body 10 and the circumferential side surface 31 of the upper lid 30, so that the circumferential side surface 21 of the inner lid 20 The open vent hole 22 is visible only from the side of the container, and therefore the appearance can be improved compared to a conventional structure in which the vent hole itself is visible from the top of the container. can. In addition, there is no need to make the top lid 30 smaller than the inner lid 20 or the container body 10, so there are no restrictions on the design, and this allows the size and shape of the entire container to be changed from that of a general two-tiered compact container. Similarly, it can be designed relatively freely. In addition, since the ventilation hole 22 is located at the center of the side surface of the container, the structure is such that it is difficult for dirt to enter or exit from here.
Since the puff P itself is provided on the lower surface of the peripheral edge of the inner lid 20 and extends in the horizontal direction, the puff P inside the storage space A is completely invisible from the outside and can be used for makeup, etc. with the upper lid 30 open. Even if this is done, the makeup powder and the like will not adhere to the ventilation hole or enter the accommodation space A from there.

6 to 8 show a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a ventilation hole 22 opened in the circumferential side 21 of the inner lid 20 is provided on the circumferential side 21.
It is configured to extend inwardly along the upper surface of the inner lid 20, and further extend downward from there to communicate with the accommodation space A of the container body 10.

The effects of this embodiment are basically the same as those of the first embodiment, so a description of the effects will be omitted.

9 and 10 show a third embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the inner cover 20 extends inward from the peripheral side 21 of the inner cover 20 along the lower surface of the inner cover 20. Instead of providing a plurality of cross-sectional ventilation holes 22 communicating with the accommodation space A as in the first embodiment, one elongated opening is formed along the circumferential surface 21 on the left and right sides of the inner lid. The configuration is such that each one is provided individually.

Moreover, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and in this embodiment, the inner lid 2
A ventilation hole 22 that communicates with the accommodation space A is formed by cutting out the left and right peripheral edges of the housing space A in a U-shape from the circumferential side surface 21 side.

Although the basic functions and effects of the third and fourth embodiments described above are the same as those of the first embodiment, when the third and fourth embodiments are configured as shown in FIG. This has the advantage that the mold for providing the ventilation holes 22 in the lid 20 is relatively easy to manufacture.

"Effects of the Invention" In the present invention, the circumferential surface of the inner lid is configured so that it does not protrude from the circumferential surface of the upper lid when the upper lid is in the closed position, and the circumferential surface of the inner lid is communicated with the storage space of the container body. Since the container has one or more ventilation holes, the presence of the ventilation holes does not impair the appearance of the container, and the internal puffs etc. cannot be seen through the ventilation holes. Moreover, the structure has excellent effects such as preventing dirt from entering through the ventilation holes and preventing cosmetics from leaking out, and also improving the degree of freedom in design.
