Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a compact container in which a container body for storing cosmetics and a lid are connected via a hinge so as to be openable and closable.

Conventionally, in this type of compact container, the container body and the lid are inseparably connected by a hinge, and in this hinge-based joint structure, a concave notch is formed at the rear end of the container body, and the rear end of the lid is It was common practice to integrally form a projecting piece on the part, insert the projecting piece into the recessed notch, and hinge it with a pivot provided between the parts. With such a hinge structure between the lid and the container body, the maximum opening angle of the lid was approximately 180°. However, as a recent sales format for compact containers, it has been considered to wrap the cosmetics inside the container body with a transparent film so that it can be seen from the outside and display it. In this case, in order to package the cosmetic in a conventional compact container so that the entire surface of the cosmetic can be seen from the outside, it was necessary to open the lid 180 degrees and package the cosmetic in parallel with the container body in the lateral direction. However, in this packaging form, the lid and the container body are arranged side by side, requiring a relatively large display area.
Moreover, even though only the cosmetics should be displayed in the front, the unnecessary inner surface of the lid is also displayed in the front, so it is difficult to display them.
There was a problem that the display effect could not be achieved sufficiently.

In addition, in conventional compact containers, the lid is molded from transparent resin, and the cosmetics inside are packaged so that they can be seen from the outside when the lid is closed. There is also a product that allows you to select the product, but in this case it is inconvenient that a mirror cannot be attached to the inner surface of the lid, making it impossible to use the mirror when applying makeup.

The present invention was developed by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to allow cosmetics to be exhibited and displayed for sale with only the face facing forward, and to take a normal form when used. Our goal is to provide a compact container that can be used for any purpose.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the compact container of the present invention, a hinge block is interposed between the container body for storing cosmetics and the rear end of the lid, and the front end of the hinge block is connected to the container body. The container body can be turned over with respect to the lid body by sliding laterally with the rear end and removably fitting the concave and convex parts, and at the time of sale, the lid body is attached to the bottom surface of the container body. They are attached in an inverted state so as to cover the sides, and they are covered and packaged with a transparent film.

The present invention will be described in detail below based on preferred embodiments of the present invention.

In the illustrated example, the container main body 1 is formed into a substantially rectangular plane, and a recess 3 for storing the cosmetic 2 is formed in the upper surface in FIG. A notch 4 is formed in the center of the front end of the container body 1, and a first engaging protrusion 5 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the notch 4. Further, a recess 6 is formed in the rear end surface of the container body 1 along the entire length in the lateral direction, and the cross-sectional shape of the recess 6 is an Ω-shape in which the inner inner part is larger than the entrance end.

A hinge block 7 is provided at the rear end of the container body 1, and a convex portion 8 integrally formed along the lateral direction at the front end of the hinge block 7 is a recess formed on the rear end surface of the container body 1. 6 is fitted. That is, the front part of the convex part 8 of the hinge block 7 is larger than its base and has the same cross-sectional shape as the concave part 6, and the rear part of the container body 1 is attached to one side end of the convex part 8. The end recessed portion 6 is fitted, and the container body 1 is slid toward the other end of the convex portion 8 to fit the concavo-convex portions 6 and 8, thereby forming a hinge block at the rear end of the container body 1. 7 is installed. Further, a concave cutout 9 is formed in the center of the rear end of the hinge block 7 and extends vertically through the cutout 9, and a transverse pin 10 is integrally installed in the cutout 9.

The hinge block 7 is used to hinge the lid 11 to the container body 1, and as shown in FIG.
The lower end opening of a slit 13 formed in the center of a leg piece 12 integrally hanging down from the rear end of the leg piece 1 is applied to the horizontal pin 10, and the slit 13 is expanded elastically. The cover 11 is attached to the hinge block 7 by pushing in the piece 12 and rotatably fitting the horizontal pin 10 into the circular hole 14 in the center of the slit 13. This lid body 11
is formed into a planar rectangular shape similar to the container body 1, and its inner surface is recessed from the edge, to which a mirror 15 is adhered. Further, a claw piece 16 is integrally suspended from the front end portion of the lid body 11, and a second projecting piece 17 is integrally formed on the inner surface of this claw piece 16.

When the lid 11 of the compact container configured as described above is closed from the state shown in FIG. At this time, the first engagement protrusion 5 of the container body 1 and the second engagement protrusion 17 of the lid body 11 are engaged with each other, and the lid body 11 can occupy the closed position. When the lid 11 is in the closed position, the cosmetic 2 inside the container body 1 is hidden below the lid 11. To use the cosmetic 2 in the container body 1, the first and second engaging protrusions 5, 17 may be disengaged to open the lid.

The compact container of the present invention has been specially designed for display and sale, and in order to display it, the container body 1 must be moved from the state shown in FIG. 1 to the lid 11.
3, the container body 1 is separated from the lid 11 by forcibly sliding in the lateral direction. Next, the container body 1 is turned upside down, the cosmetic 2 is positioned below, and the rear end concave portion 6 of the container body 1 is aligned with one side end of the front end convex portion 8 of the hinge block 7, and the container body 1 is As shown in FIG. 4, they are slidably fitted toward the other side end. After fitting in this way, the lid 11 is closed on the bottom surface of the container body 1 in FIG. 4. At this time, preferably
By forming a shallow recess 18 in the bottom of the container body 1 in advance, placing the puff 19 there, and trapping the puff 19 between the recess 18 and the inner surface of the lid 11. be. Lid body 1 as above
If you turn the compact container with 1 closed upside down,
As shown in FIG. 5, the cosmetic 2 of the container body 1 is exposed upward in an open state. The inner surface of the lid 11 faces the bottom surface of the container body 1 with the puff 19 in between. In this state, the compact container can be wrapped with a transparent synthetic resin film 20 and put on display for sale.

After removing the packaging film 20, the purchaser of the compact container packaged as described above
Slide the container body 1 to the side opposite to the arrow in the figure to separate it from the hinge block 7, turn it over, and then assemble the container body 1 to the hinge block 7 on the side opposite to the arrow in Figure 3. , it can be used in the normal state shown in FIG.

As described above, according to the compact container of the present invention, the container main body and the lid are packaged in a stacked state opposite to the normal use state, so there is no space for display and display for sale. is small,
It is also convenient in terms of packaging and transportation. In addition, in use, after removing the packaging film, the container main body 1 can be reversed and replaced, which is a simple operation, and the container is a compact container that is less troublesome and particularly suitable for exhibition and display. I can do it.
