As shown in FIG. 1, the small cosmetic container 1 of this embodiment is formed with a receiving recess 36 having a shape corresponding to a flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 on the bottom 17 of the applicator receiving portion 13. level The plate-shaped push-up portion 34 is held at the bottom portion 17 of the applicator receiving portion 13 while the cover 15 is closed. (See Fig. 5 (a)). It is preferable to set the receiving recess 36 to a shape corresponding to the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34, for example, a shape similar to or substantially the same as the push-up portion 34, so that the cosmetic material cannot easily enter the receiving recess. In the state where the cover 15 is closed, it is preferable that the surface on the applicator 4 side of the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 accommodated in the receiving recess 36 be a surface uniform with the bottom portion 17 of the applicator receiving portion 13.

The flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 is rotated within a specific angle range by the applicator lifting member 18 accompanying the lid opening operation of the lid body 15, and is connected to the hinge as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 (a). The portion 14 is inclined in a state where the front end portion on the opposite side is upward and protrudes upward from the bottom portion 17 of the applicator housing portion 13.

The meandering connection portion 35 is a portion that connects the pivot portion 19 pivotally connected to the pivot pin 16 of the hinge portion 14 and the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 provided as a part of the bottom portion 17 of the applicator housing portion 13. The zigzag connection portion 35 has a crank-like zigzag shape.

The pivoting portion 19 of the applicator lifting member 18 is a portion pivotally connected to the pivot pin 16 of the hinge portion 14 within a range of the gate-shaped cutout portion 30 formed in the pivoting portion 26 of the cover 15. The pivot portion 19 has a substantially semi-oval or substantially semi-elliptical cross-sectional shape, and is rotatably attached to a shaft pin 16 penetrating the center thereof. In this embodiment, the pivot joint portion 19 is transversely cut along the circumferential direction around the shaft pin 16 on the outer peripheral surface thereof, and the first ribs 23 a are linearly provided in a direction parallel to the shaft pin 16. A flat abutting surface 21 is preferably provided at the pivot portion 19 at a position facing the bottom notch end surface 20 formed by cutting the bottom plate 11 a from the pivot cut portion 27 of the container body 11.

Here, according to this embodiment, in a cross section perpendicular to the shaft pin 16 in a state where the cover 15 is closed as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the center of the shaft pin 16 faces the second of the cover 15 Between the line segment of the rib 22a (the cover-side locking portion 22) and the line segment of the first rib 23a (the locking portion 23) from the center of the shaft pin 16 toward the pivoting portion 19 of the applicator lifting member 18 Angle θ1 becomes self-taught The rotation start position of the lid opening body 15 to the rotation angle of the lid body 15 where the applicator lifting member 18 starts to rotate. In addition, the angle θ2 between the bottom notch end surface 20 of the pivotal cutout portion 27 of the container body 11 and the abutment surface 21 of the pivotal portion 19 of the applicator lifting member 18 becomes a flat plate shape of the applicator lifting member 18. The pushing portion 34 is lifted at an angle as the lid 15 is rotated. That is, the rotation of the applicator lifting member 18 that rotates with the lid opening operation of the lid body 15 is determined by the position of the abutting surface 21 in the pivotal portion 19 and the first rib 23 a as the locking portion 23. The start position (angle) and the end position (angle) of the rotation limit the angular range of the rotation of the applicator lifting member 18. In addition, by adjusting the positions of these, the angle range of rotation of the applicator lifting member 18 can be appropriately adjusted.

In the present embodiment having the above configuration, from the state of closing the lid 15 shown in Figs. 5 (a) and 5 (b) to the start of the turning operation of the lid 15, the lid 15 shown in Fig. 7 is started. While the second rib 22 a is in contact with the first rib 23 a of the pivoting portion 19 of the applicator lifting member 18 and the locking is performed, only the cover 15 is rotated, and the flat push-up portion of the applicator lifting member 18 is rotated. 34 maintains the state of the accommodating recessed portion 36 embedded in the bottom portion 17 of the applicator accommodating portion 13. The flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 of the applicator lifting member 18 is preferably in a state where the upper surface is on the same plane as the upper surface of the bottom portion 17.

When the cover 15 is further rotated, as shown in FIG. 8, the second rib 22 a of the cover 15 is locked to the first rib 23 a of the pivot portion 19, and the locked state is maintained. The applicator The lifting member 18 rotates in accordance with the rotation of the cover 15, so that the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 is inclined and protrudes upward from the bottom portion 17 of the applicator housing portion 13.

If the applicator lifting member 18 and the cover 15 are rotated together, and the abutment surface 21 of the pivotal portion 19 abuts against the bottom notch end surface 20 of the container body 11 as shown in FIG. 9, the applicator is lifted. The member 18 stops its rotation and maintains the state that the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 no longer continues to tilt (not lift). Here, if the lid body 15 is further rotated, the locking force of the locking portion 23 and the lid-side locking portion 22 is released by the turning force so that only the lid body 15 can be rotated. In the case of this embodiment, the second rib 22a or the first rib 23a is elastically deformed to make the second cover 15 second. The protruding ribs 22a pass through the first protruding ribs 23a of the pivoting portion 19 of the applicator lifting member 18, so that the cover 15 can be opened larger as shown in FIGS. 1 and 6 (a) and (b).

When the cover 15 is rotated in the opposite direction when the cover 15 is closed, the second rib 22 a of the cover 15 abuts against the first of the applicator lifting member 18 with the rotation in the opposite direction. 1 convex rib 23a is locked, and the applicator lifting member 18 is also rotated in the opposite direction. Thereby, the applicator lifting member 18 is restored to a state where the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 is fitted into the receiving recess 36 of the bottom portion 17 of the applicator receiving portion 13. If the cover 15 is further rotated in the opposite direction, the second rib 22a of the cover 15 passes over the first rib 23a of the applicator lifting member 18, and the cover 15 is rotated until the cosmetic material of the container body 11 is accommodated. Until the portion 12 and the applicator housing portion 13 are closed, the original state before the cover 15 is opened as shown in Figs. 5 (a) and (b) is restored. When the cover 15 is closed, the applicator placed on the upper surface of the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 and / or the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 of the applicator lifting member 18 serves as a limit to the rotation of the applicator lifting member. The stopper functions.

Therefore, according to the small cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment, when the small cosmetic container 1 is used, if the rotation operation of opening the lid body 15 is performed, the applicator lifting member 18 can be accompanied by the rotation of the lid body 15 Rotate within a specific angle range, so that the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 protrudes from the bottom portion 17 of the applicator housing portion 13 in the above-mentioned preferred inclined state.

To further explain the small cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment, the small cosmetic container 1 is provided with a protective sheet 6 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the protective sheet 6 prevents makeup stored in the cosmetic storage portion 12. The material 2 is attached to a mirror 33 provided on the cover 15. The protective sheet 6 is attached to the container body 11 and is set to a state in which the lid 15 is opened (closed state, see FIG. 2) from the state in which the lid 15 is closed (closed state, see FIG. 5). The material 6 is partially lifted and becomes inclined.

By automatically lifting the protective sheet 6 in a tilted state with the lid opening operation, the protective sheet 6 can be smoothly opened after the applicator 4 is taken out and the cosmetic 2 is attached to one of the applicator 4 in series. Action. Especially in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, Both the applicator 4 and the protective sheet 6 are lifted in such a manner that the same side in the transverse direction X becomes an inclined upper end, so that the above-mentioned series of actions can be made smoother.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, the protective sheet 6 is provided with double hinge portions 64 and 65 on the protective sheet 6 so that stress is not concentrated on one portion of the resin sheet constituting the protective sheet 6. Therefore, the elastic recoverability for lifting from a substantially horizontal state to a tilted state when the lid is opened is not impaired, so that the protective sheet 6 is stably lifted to a tilted state when the lid is opened.

In addition, in a preferred form of this embodiment, the configuration of the protective sheet 6 and the method of mounting the same are also designed. Hereinafter, the configuration of the protective sheet 6 and the method of mounting the protective sheet 6 will be further described.

The protective sheet 6 includes: a main body portion 61 that covers the upper surface of the cosmetic 2 (cosmetic powder core 131) when the cover 15 is closed; and a pair of mounting sheets 62 and 62 that project from the main body portion 61 (See Figure 10). The mounting sheet 62 is used to mount the protective sheet 6 to the container body 11. As shown in FIG. 10, the protective sheet 6 is inserted into one of the container bodies 11 by inserting a pair of mounting sheets 62 and 62. The sheets 7 are inserted into the holes 7 and 7 and are fixed to the container body 11 in such a manner that they cannot fall off easily. To explain more specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the protective sheet 6 has a folded-back portion 63, a first hinge portion 64, and a second hinge portion 65 in this order from the front end side in the protruding direction of the mounting piece 62. If the mounting piece 62 is divided into a front end portion 67 between the front end edge 66 and the folded portion 63, an intermediate portion 68 between the folded portion 63 and the first hinge portion 64, and the first hinge portion 64 and the second hinge portion 65, The base end portion 69 is a state where the mounting piece 62 mounted on the container body 11 is the front end portion 67 at the folded-back portion 63 located at a position 2 to 5 mm apart from the front edge of the mounting piece 62, as shown in FIG. 11 It is shown that the end portion 67 before the folding back becomes the folded back portion of the mounting piece 62. The bent end portion 67 and the unfolded middle portion 68 are bent at an acute angle of 60 degrees or less, preferably 45 degrees or less. Before being folded back, the end portion 67 can also be folded back in a manner close to the unfolded middle portion 68.

The first hinge portion 64 and the second hinge portion 65 make it easier for the protective sheet 6 to be positioned relative to the container itself. Those who are bent near the mounting portion of the body 11 can easily rotate the protective sheet 6 to open and close the upper surface of the cosmetic storage portion 12 by the presence of a hinge portion. In addition, as described above, when the first hinge portion 64 and the second hinge portion 65 are present, it is easy to achieve a tilted state of one-side lifting when the cover is opened.

In this embodiment, a sheet made of synthetic resin constituting the protective sheet 6 is formed with a linear indentation (engraved line) extending in the width direction Y of the container body 11 as a hinge portion. The indentation (engraved line) can be formed, for example, by ordinary cold pressing or heating pressing using a metal pressing knife.

The indentation (engraved line) may be continuous in a straight line, or it may have a part without indentation locally. In addition, there may be a partially penetrated portion.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the sheet insertion holes 7 and 7 for fixing one end of the protection sheet 6 are formed on the cosmetic storage portion 12 side located in the longitudinal direction X of the container body 11. The portion G further on the outer side than the cosmetic material accommodating portion 12. As shown in FIG. 11, the protective sheet 6 inserts the mounting sheets 62 and 62 provided in the protective sheet 6 into the sheet insertion holes 7 and 7, and the mounting sheets 62 and 62 are wider than the sheet insertion holes. The enlarged space 71 of the entrance 7 has a folded-back portion 67 therein, thereby being fixed to the container body 11.

The folded-back portion 67 is a front-end portion 67 in a range from the front edge 66 to the folded-back portion 63 in the mounting piece 62.

The space 71 having a wider width than the entrance of the sheet insertion hole 7 is a space 71 in the longitudinal direction X of the container body 11 larger than the dimension W1 of the entrance in the direction X. In this space, there is a space 71 for the mounting sheet 62. The folded-back portion 67, whereby when the force for pulling out the mounting piece 62 is applied, the folded-back portion 67, preferably with its leading edge 66, abuts the step difference generated near the entrance of the sheet insertion hole 7. Portion or protruding portion 72, thereby preventing the mounting piece 62 from being pulled out. Further, by forming the protrusion 72a on the protruding portion 72 as shown in FIG. 11 (b), it is possible to further prevent the mounting piece 62 from being pulled out.

Since the small cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment is provided in a container in this manner, The mounting sheet 62 of the protective sheet 6 is inserted into the sheet insertion hole 7, and the mounting sheet 62 has a folded-back portion 67 in a space 71 deeper than the entrance of the sheet insertion hole 7, so the mounting sheet 62 is not easy to be removed from the sheet. The insertion hole 7 comes out, and even if the cosmetic powder core 131 is repeatedly replaced and used for a long period of time, the protective sheet 6 does not easily fall off from the container body 11.

In addition, since the protective sheet 6 is mounted on the container body 11 in the above-mentioned manner, even if the protective sheet 6 is repeatedly opened and closed for the application of cosmetics, it is not easy to protect the main body portion 61 and the mounting sheet 62 of the sheet 6 Fatigue (deterioration) occurs near the boundary portion, so that even if the protective sheet 6 is used for a long period of time, it is unlikely that the protective sheet 6 breaks from the vicinity of the root and falls off.

In addition, the protective sheet 6 tends to be inclined in a single-side lift state when the cover is opened.

In addition, unlike the case where the mounting sheet 62 provided on the protective sheet 6 is sandwiched between the cosmetic powder core 131 and the bottom of the cosmetic storage portion 12 and fixed, the protective sheet 6 is replaced when the cosmetic powder core 131 is replaced. It does not fall off, and there is no case where the position of the protective sheet 6 is shifted and the cosmetic powder core 131 cannot be fixed in an appropriate position.

According to the small cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment, even if the cosmetic powder core 131 is replaced and used for a long period of time, the protective sheet 6 cannot be easily dropped from the container body 11.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the sheet insertion holes 7 and 7 for fixing the protective sheet 6 are provided on the cosmetic storage portion 12 side in the longitudinal direction X of the container body 11, and when the lid body 15 is closed The protective sheet 6 covers the upper surface of the cosmetic material 2 (cosmetic powder core 131) contained in the cosmetic material accommodating portion 12, so the cosmetic material 2 does not adhere to the mirror 33.

In the small cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, two kinds of engagements are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cosmetic storage portion 12 to be engaged with the engaging recesses 134 of the cosmetic powder core 131. Protrusions 135, 136.

One of the two kinds of engaging protrusions 135 and 136 is provided on the flexible insertion piece 137 that forms a space 71 on the sheet insertion hole 7 side and can be displaced forward and backward, and the other is formed so as not to be displaceable. An engaging protrusion 136 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cosmetic receiving portion 12.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the mounting piece 62 of the protective sheet 6 includes the folded-back portion (front end portion) 67 in the space 71 behind the flexible piece 137 provided with the engaging protrusion 135.

In the small cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, a portion 67 a of one of the folded-back portion (front end portion) 67 of the pair of mounting pieces 62, 62 has not been folded back 68 One of the side edges 68 a protrudes, so that an anchoring portion 67 a protruding toward the width direction Y of the container body 11 is formed on one side of the mounting piece 62.

The anchor portions 67 a are engaged with the engaged portions 73 formed in the container body 11 as shown in FIG. 12, thereby preventing the protective sheet 6 from coming out more reliably.

The space 71 in this embodiment is a narrow space extending along the width direction Y of the container body 11, and is continuous from below one sheet insertion hole 7 and below another sheet insertion hole 7. In this embodiment, the engaged portion 73 to which the anchor portion 67a is engaged is a pair of sheet insertion holes 7 in a plate-shaped top plate portion that separates the upper surface of the container body 11 from the space 71. Part of 7 rooms.

If only from the viewpoint of preventing the mounting piece 62 from coming out of the sheet insertion hole 7, the anchor portions 67a are preferably formed on both sides of the mounting piece 62, but are formed only on the mounting piece 62 as in this embodiment. In the case of one side, as shown in FIG. 10, the mounting piece 62 in a state where the front end portion 67 is folded back is easily inserted into the sheet insertion hole 7, which is preferable.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the mounting piece 62 is preferably formed by cutting (cutting) the corner portion 62 a on the side opposite to the anchor portion 67 a into an arc shape or a tapered shape. The corner portion 62 a is a corner portion generated at the end of the folded-back portion 63 of the mounting piece 62 on the side opposite to the anchor portion 67 a.

When the opposite side to the anchor portion 67a is processed into an arc shape or a tapered shape, it becomes easy to insert the mounting piece 62 in a state where the anchor portion 67a is turned back by folding back the front end portion 67 into the sheet insertion hole 7. The tapered shape is a shape that is inclined so as to approach the side where the anchor portion 67 a protrudes as it goes toward the front end side (the folded portion 63 side) of the mounting piece 62.

About the length by which the anchor portion 67a protrudes from the side edge of the unreturned portion (middle portion) 68 (Length along the width direction Y of the container body 11) From the viewpoint of preventing the mounting piece 62 of the protective sheet 6 from falling out, L3 is preferably 1.5 mm or more, and further preferably 2 mm or more. From the viewpoint of insertion into the sheet insertion hole 7, it is preferably 5 mm or less, and more preferably 4 mm or less.

Moreover, the length L4 of the corner portion 62a on the opposite side of the anchor portion 67a, which is cut into an arc shape or a cone shape, along the width direction Y of the container body 11 with respect to the length L3 of the anchor portion 67a The ratio is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 70% or more, still more preferably 150% or less, and still more preferably 110% or less.

When the corner portion 62a on the opposite side to the anchor portion 67a is processed into an arc shape or a cone shape, it includes a case of cutting into an arc shape, a case of cutting into a cone shape, and cutting into an arc and a cone. Either of the cases where the shapes are connected together. In other words, what is necessary is just to satisfy the form which makes it easy to insert into the sheet insertion hole 7.

The protective sheet 6 in this embodiment is as shown in FIG. 10, and an anchor portion 67a is formed on the inner side of each of the pair of mounting pieces 62 and 62 facing each other. In the present invention, the anchoring portion 67a may be formed on each of the pair of mounting pieces 62, 62 facing outward in the opposite direction to each other.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the protective sheet 6 in this embodiment has two hinge portions, namely, a first hinge portion 64 and a second hinge portion 65 in the vicinity of the mounting portion with respect to the container body 11. The distance between the first hinge portion 64 and the second hinge portion 65 from the entrance of the sheet insertion hole 7 is different from each other.

Sheets containing synthetic resins such as polyethylene terephthalate or polypropylene tend to break if they are bent repeatedly, but they are applied to each hinge by providing two hinge portions 64 and 65 in the protective sheet 6. The bending stress is dispersed and reduced, so that it is difficult to cause the sheet to break at each hinge portion. In addition, by having two hinge portions 64 and 65, the degree of freedom of bending is improved. For example, it is also easy to rotate the main body portion 61 from a state extending to the right as shown by a solid line in FIG. It is 180 degrees and it is set to the state extended to the left, and it can also be set as follows That is, the outer side of the outer peripheral wall 121 formed on the outer periphery of the container body 11 to prevent the leakage of cosmetics, especially powder, is lowered as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 11 (b). It is inclined at the position of the outer peripheral wall 121. If it can be rotated to such a state and maintained in this state, the workability of the operation of scraping or erasing the cosmetic material with the applicator is improved.

Furthermore, the two hinge portions 64 and 65 in this embodiment are formed between the position of the sheet insertion hole 7 in the protective sheet 6 fixed to the container body 11 and the body portion 61.

The lid body 15 and the container body 11 of the small cosmetic container 1 may be formed of a plastic material used for general small containers. For example, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin, AS (acrylonitrile-styrene) resin, PP (Polypropylene) resin, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin, PCT (Poly (1,4-cyclohexylene dimethylene terephthalate) , Poly (terephthalic acid-1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol) resin. The applicator lifting member 18 or the flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 may be formed of a plastic material, and examples thereof include ABS resin, AS resin, PP resin, PET resin, and PCT resin. In addition, since the cosmetic material 2 attached to the applicator 4 is adhered, and the ultraviolet absorber or the like formulated in the cosmetic material 2 may deteriorate the plastic material, the applicator lifting member 18 or The flat plate-shaped push-up portion 34 is preferably made of PP resin, PET resin, or PCT resin having high chemical resistance. In addition, in terms of the stability or rigidity of the operation of the applicator lifting member 18, it is also preferable to use a self-lubricating POM (Polyoxymethylene) resin or a rigid PC (Polycarbonate) resin.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various changes can be made.
