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.

``Conventional technology'' As is well known, two-way cake (Two-way cake)
Cosmetics known as ``Way CaKe'' have the characteristic that they can be used with or without water, but containers for this type of cosmetics are generally made of puffs or A structure is used in which the sponge and cosmetics are stored separately in two levels, upper and lower, by a partition hinged to the rear wall of the container body.

By the way, among two-tiered compact containers having this type of partition, in a container where the partition is covered by the container body and the lid and the peripheral side of the partition is not exposed to the outside, after taking out the puff, Since the partition falls into the inside of the lid, there is a problem in that it is difficult to raise the partition, making it inconvenient to use.

As a means to solve these problems, the Compact Container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-3538 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 58-138504 has been proposed and has provided a temporary solution.

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' However, in this device, in order to change the opening/closing angle between the inner partition and the lid, the pivot point of the inner partition, or the lower part of the rear surface of the container body facing the pivot point of the inner partition. Since a protrusion must be provided on the compact container, there is a problem in that the protrusion spoils the appearance of the compact container. Furthermore, it is difficult to form the protrusions, and there is also the problem that the strength of the protrusions becomes weaker, especially when the entire container is made thin.

The present invention is an attempt to solve the problems caused by the protruding protrusion having a stopper function of such a partition.

"Means for Solving the Problems" The present invention hinges a saucer-shaped container body, an inner partition for opening and closing the container body, and a lid covering the inner partition through a single hinge part, The hinge portion is connected to a recess formed in the rear wall of the container body, a pair of left and right protrusions that protrude parallel to each other and fit into the recess, and a rear edge of the lid. a fitting protrusion that protrudes from the inner partition and fits between the protrusions of the partition;
A hinge pin rotatably connects these parts, and when the inner partition and the lid move in the opening direction, the convex part and the fitting convex part abut against the inner surface of the concave part of the container body, respectively. In a two-stage compact container whose movement is restricted, the inner surface of the recessed portion of the container body is curved toward the inside of the container body.

"Operation" With the above configuration, when the inner partition and the lid are opened, the convex part of the inner partition hits the inner surface of the recess of the container body earlier than the fitting convex part of the lid, and moves in the opening direction. is restricted, then the fitting convex part of the lid hits,
The lid opens wider than the inner partition.

``Example'' Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. This compact container is
It has a rectangular saucer-shaped container body 1, an inner partition 2 for opening and closing the container main body 1, and a lid body 3 that covers the inner partition 2. The basic structure is such that the hook 6 of the lid 3 is engaged with the hook 5 of the container body 1 to hold the lid 3 in a closed state.

The container body 1 has a storage recess 7 for storing cosmetics, etc. therein, and a U-shaped recess 8 is provided in the rear wall portion 1a.
Further, the inner surface 8a of the recess 8 is curved in an arc shape toward the inside. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the inner surface 8a of the recess 8 is curved into a gentle arc shape with both ends projecting outward by l from the center. Note that the hook 5 is provided protruding from the outer surface of the front wall portion 1b of the container body 1.

Further, the partition 2 has a size that can be accommodated inside the container body 1, and a puff 9 etc. can be placed on the top surface of the partition 2. A pair of parallel protrusions 1 on the left and right that fit together
0 is provided protruding almost at right angles, and a mirror 11 is attached to the inner surface.

On the other hand, the lid body 3 is formed in a rectangular box shape that covers the inner partition 2 from above, and the rear edge 3a has the convex portion 1.
A fitting convex portion 12 that fits between the two holes is provided to protrude approximately at right angles. Also, the left and right side walls 3 of this lid body 3
A notch 13 communicating with the inside of the container body 1 is formed long along the length direction at the lower edge of each of the containers b and 3b, and the hook 6 is provided on the front wall 3c.

Note that the hinge portion 4 is connected to the recess 8 of the container body 1.
, the convex part 10 of the inner partition 2, and the fitting convex part 1 of the lid body 3
2, and a hinge pin 14 that rotatably connects the convex portions 10 and 12 between the concave portion 8.

In the compact container constructed in this way, when the lid 3 is opened from the closed position as shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG.
The fitting protrusion 12 opens until it abuts the inner surface 8a of the recess 8. On the other hand, when the partition 2 is opened, the lid 3
Similarly, the convex portion 10 is located on the inner surface 8 of the concave portion 8 of the container body 1.
It opens until it hits point a, but the inner surface 8 of the recess 8
Since a is curved in an arc toward the inside of the container body 1, the protrusion 10 of the partition 2 hits the inner surface 8a of the recess 8 before the fitting protrusion 12 of the lid 3. , it opens at a smaller opening angle than the lid 3 (see FIG. 4). Therefore, the opening angle between the inner partition 2 and the lid body 3 changes, and the inner partition 2 becomes easier to raise after the puff 9 is taken out. Also,
In order to exhibit such an effect, the container body 1
Since the inner surface 8a of the recess 8 is curved, the appearance can be improved compared to the conventional structure in which the stopper (protrusion) is visible from the rear surface of the container. Moreover, since it has a simple structure, the container body 10 can be easily molded, and costs can be reduced, and the applicability to making the container as a whole thinner can be improved.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the inner surface 8a of the recess 8 of the container body 1 is located between the protrusion 10' of the partition 2 and the fitting protrusion 12' of the lid 3. The facing position is curved along the inner surface 8a.

In addition, in the case of the compact container of this embodiment, since the gap with the inner surface 8a can be made smaller than that of the previous embodiment, the appearance can be further improved.

In this embodiment, the cosmetic is stored in the container body 1 and the puff 9 is placed on the partition 2, but these are reversed, that is, the puff 9 is placed in the container body 1.
The structure may be such that the inner partition 2 stores cosmetics.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, according to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be achieved.

(a) The opening angle of the partition can be made smaller than the opening angle of the lid, and the operability when raising the partition can be improved.

(b) It looks good because there is no need to provide a protrusion that restricts the movement of the partition in the opening direction, and the appearance is the same as a normal hinge shape.

(c) The convex portions of the inner partition and the lid are brought into contact with the curved inner surfaces of the recesses in the container body, and the opening angles of the inner partition and the lid are changed, making the entire container thinner. However, there is no risk that the function will be impaired even if the device is used, and the applicability to thinning can be improved. Further, since the abutting portion is curved, the protrusion has a soft contact and is easy to use.

(d) Since the structure is simple and molding is easy, costs can be reduced.
