Description

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

Conventionally, various types of portable compacts that women carry around in their handbags and the like have been on the market. However, with these conventional models, when opening and closing the compact, you have to support the compact with one hand and open the top cover with the other hand, and the top cover can be opened with one touch with one hand. However, the problem was that the structure was complicated.

This invention was devised to solve the problems of the conventional compacts mentioned above, and the purpose is to provide a compact that can be opened and closed with one hand and has a simple structure. It is.

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

In FIGS. 1 to 4, a lower lid 1 having a decorative material filling recess 1a with an upper opening in the center has a recess 1b opened at the upper, front, and outer sides cut out on both sides of the front end. Further, the rear end wall of the recess 1b has an inclined surface 1 that slopes upward toward the rear.
c is formed, and an outward locking protrusion 1d is horizontally protruded from the inner wall. In addition, the lower lid 1
An inclined surface 1e that slopes upward toward the rear is formed at the upper part of the front end.

An upper lid 2 is attached to the lower lid 1 so that the rear end of the upper lid 2 can be opened and closed by being pivoted to each other by pins 3 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. A spring 4 interposed between the lower lid 1 and the upper lid 2 biases the lid in the opening direction.
Here, the pivot hole 2b for fitting the pin 3 provided in the pivot portion 2a at the rear end of the upper lid 2 is an elongated hole with respect to the front-rear direction of the upper lid 2, and the pin 3 is inserted into the pivot hole 2a.
b, allowing the upper lid 2 to move backward relative to the lower lid 1. Note that there is a fifth pin on the tip side of pin 3.
As can be seen from FIG. It's becoming like that.

At the bottom of both sides of the front end of the upper lid 2, there are protruding parts 2c that are fitted into the recesses 1b of the lower lid 1 when the upper lid 2 is closed. The protruding portion 2c is formed flush with the outer surface of the front end and the outer surface of the side portion of the lower lid 1 so that no gap is formed between the respective outer surfaces. A sloped surface 2d that slopes downward toward the front is formed, and the protrusion 2
When c is fitted into the recess 1b, the inclined surface 2d comes into close contact with the inclined surface 1c of the recess 1b.
Further, at this time, the lower front end 2e of the upper lid 2 is positioned in front of the inclined surface 1e of the lower lid 1.
Further, on both inner walls of the protruding portion 2c of the upper lid 2, inwardly directed engaging projections 2f are horizontally formed, so that when the upper lid 2 is closed, the locking projections 2f of the lower lid 1
d to hold the upper lid 2 in a closed state. Note that 5 is a mirror fixed to the inside of the upper lid 2.

Next, I will explain how to use the above compact.
With the lid closed as shown in Figure 3, when you support the compact with your palm and push the top lid 2 backwards with your thumb, the pin 3 will move into the pivot hole 2.
The upper cover 2 is retracted with respect to the lower cover 1 by relatively sliding in the inside b. With this retreat, the inclined surface 2d of the protruding portion 2c slides along the inclined surface 1c of the recessed portion 1b, and the lower front end 2e of the upper lid 2 slides along the inclined surface 1e and rises. The front end of 2 is lifted with respect to the lower lid 1, and the engagement between the locking projection 1d and the engagement projection 2f is released (the state shown in FIG. 4). When the locking projection 1d is disengaged from the engagement projection 2f, the upper lid 2 is automatically opened by the force of the spring 4.

Next, when closing the upper lid 2, when the front end of the upper lid 2 is pressed in the closing direction, the inclined surface 2 of the protrusion 2c
d slides along the inclined surface 1c of the recess 1b, the lower front end 2e of the upper lid 2 slides and descends along the inclined surface 1e, the upper lid 2 is advanced relative to the lower lid 1, and the engagement protrusion 2f is engaged with the locking protrusion 1d,
The upper lid 2 is closed.

As described above, this invention enables the lid to be opened and closed by sliding the top lid in the front and back direction relative to the bottom lid, and it is possible to open and close the top lid with a single touch using only one hand. The structure for this purpose is also extremely simple. Moreover, the front end outer surface and side outer surface of the protrusion are flush with the front end outer surface and side outer surface of the lower lid in the lid closed state, and no gap is formed between the two outer surfaces. Since the lid is curved, the overall appearance can be kept beautiful, and the presence of gaps on the outer surface has the excellent effect of eliminating the risk of the lid being accidentally opened due to the load being applied to the gap. .
