In the previous cosmetic container provided with the main body, cover body, mirror, and protective sheet described above, in most cases, it is configured to fix a part (fixing surface) of the protective sheet between the inner plate and the main body that contain the cosmetic In the body, the other protective sheet connected to a part of the body The part (partition surface) separates the body and the mirror. However, the following problems have been confirmed in the conventional makeup container thus constituted.

(1) When the partition surface of the protective sheet is set to the position of the partition body and the mirror, the operation will be performed above the inner plate, so fingers or hands are easily accidentally soiled by the cosmetic material in the inner plate.

(2) Maintaining the state of holding the body with one hand, it is difficult to easily perform the operation of moving the partition surface of the protective sheet with only one hand.

(3) When there is information displayed on the partition surface of the protective film, the display is located near the inner disk away from the mirror, so it is difficult to easily confirm the information while looking at the mirror and applying makeup.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a cosmetic container that does not easily cause fingers or hands to be soiled with makeup and can easily operate the partition surface of the protective sheet with one hand.

The cosmetic container of the present invention includes the following components: a main body provided with a container for accommodating cosmetics; a cover body which can be opened and closed connected to the main body; a mirror which is installed on the inner surface of the cover body; It has a part between the body and the mirror, and the cosmetic container is characterized in that the protective sheet has: a fixed sheet surface, at least a part of which is fixed between the cover body and the mirror; and a partition sheet surface, which is fixed relative to the fixed part The one-sided surface is flexibly connected, and is located between the body and the mirror when the body is closed by the cover.

In addition, the term "segmenting the segmented surface to be flexibly connected with respect to the fixed surface" includes the following two cases: the segmented surface is directly and flexibly connected to the fixed surface; and the segmented surface is relatively fixed to the fixed surface , Indirectly connected freely through the other one-sided surface.

As an example of the latter two cases, it is preferable that in the cosmetic container of the present invention, the protective sheet has an intermediate surface extending along the end surface of the mirror between the fixed sheet surface and the partition sheet surface, and the cross section of the protective sheet is Font.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is preferable that the fixed sheet surface and the partition sheet surface are connected to the left side of the mirror. In addition, the "left side" in this case refers to the left side when the makeup container is used, and the body is maintained in a generally horizontal orientation as in the general case, and the cover mirror in the open state is viewed from the side of the body.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is preferable that at least the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet is formed of a transparent material.

Further, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is preferable that information is displayed on a segmented surface.

Such information is preferably displayed on the two surfaces of the segmented sheet surface, the surface of the segmented sheet surface facing the mirror side when it is located between the body and the mirror.

Moreover, the partition surface in the cosmetic container of the present invention is deformed to a position deviated from the body and the mirror by external force.

Further, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, when the partition sheet surface is substantially quadrangular, it is preferable that at least one of the two corners of the end edge of the partition sheet surface opposite to the side connecting the fixed sheet surface For chamfering.

Furthermore, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is desirable that a partition sheet surface is provided with a notch that avoids interference with the protruding portion located on the body when the partition sheet surface is bent relative to the fixed sheet surface.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, the protective sheet is provided with: a fixed sheet surface, at least a part of which is fixed between the cover and the mirror; and a partition sheet surface, which is freely bent and connected to the fixed sheet surface, and When the cover body is closed, the cover is located between the body and the mirror. Therefore, as in the previous device, the mirror is prevented from being soiled by the cosmetic material stored in the body by partitioning the sheet surface.

In addition, since the protective sheet has the structure described above, the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet is set. In order to separate the body and the mirror, the operation will be performed on the mirror. If so, unlike the case where the operation is performed above the inner plate, it is not easy to cause the fingers or hands to be soiled by the cosmetics in the inner plate.

In addition, since the protective sheet is configured as described above, the state of holding the body with one hand can be maintained, and the operation of moving the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet can be easily performed with only one hand. The reason will be described in detail later based on the embodiment.

Furthermore, since the protective sheet is configured as described above, when information is displayed on the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet, the display is located near the mirror. Therefore, the information can be easily confirmed during the makeup process while looking at the mirror.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a three-dimensional shape of a makeup container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Cosmetic container of this embodiment 10 includes: a main body 11; and a cover 12 capable of opening and closing the main body 11 and connected to the main body 11. Both the main body 11 and the cover 12 are made of a synthetic resin or the like as an example, and are formed in an external shape such as a substantially thin rectangular parallelepiped. The cover 12 is connected to the body 11 in a swingable direction in the direction of arrow A in the figure via a hinge 13 and is connected to the open state above the opened body 11 and the closed state above the closed body 11 as shown in the figure. Closed.

Here, the directions "up", "down", "left", "right", and "near" of the description of the embodiment of the present invention are set to use the makeup container 10 as usual when the makeup container 10 is used. 11 is maintained in a substantially horizontal orientation, and viewed from the side of the main body 11 in each direction of the mirror 18 of the cover 12 in the open state.

In the main body 11, recessed receiving portions 11b and 11c are provided from the upper surface 11a on the inside. In addition, in these accommodating sections 11b and 11c, the inner trays 14 and 15 which are containers for storing cosmetics are respectively stored. The inner trays (containers) 14 and 15 are also formed of, for example, synthetic resin, and they can be fixed to the accommodating portions 11b and 11c with an adhesive or the like, or they can be appropriately taken out without being fixed.

The inner plates (containers) 14 and 15 respectively contain cosmetic materials 16 and 17. Examples of the cosmetics 16 and 17 include foundations, lipsticks, eye shadows, and the like, but they are not limited to these. In addition, one or both of the inner plates (containers) 14 and 15 may be divided into two or more divisions, and cosmetic materials different from each other may be accommodated in each division. In addition, one of the accommodating sections 11b and 11c may store a cosmetic tool such as a sponge or a brush for applying cosmetics directly or via an inner plate.

Furthermore, instead of using the inner plate (container) 14 or 15, the storage sections 11b and 11c may be used as containers, and cosmetics may be directly stored there. In the present invention, the body 11 thus formed is also included in the "body provided with a container for containing cosmetics".

In addition, an engaging protrusion 12 a is formed near the front end of the cover body 12, and an engaging portion 11 d is provided near an end near the front side of the body 11. When the upper surface 11a of the main body 11 is closed by the cover 12, the above-mentioned engaging protrusions 12a are engaged with the engaging portions 11d to maintain the closed state. When the engaging portion 11d is pushed in, for example, on the side of the hinge 13 (in the direction of arrow B), the aforementioned engaging state is released. In this state, it can be set to swing the cover 12 and open the upper surface of the body 11 The opened state of the surface 11a is the state shown in FIG.

A mirror 18 used for makeup is mounted on the inner surface of the cover 12. The shape of the mirror 18 and the cover 12 are rectangular, as an example. Further, a protective sheet 20 is fixed to the cover 12. FIG. 2 shows a three-dimensional shape of the protective sheet 20, and FIG. 3 shows a fixed structure of the protective sheet 20 schematically. Hereinafter, the protective sheet 20 will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, the protective sheet 20 has three surfaces connected to each other, that is, a fixed sheet surface 20 a, an intermediate surface 20 b, and a partition sheet surface 20 c. Font. That is, the segmented sheet surface 20c has a shape that is connected to the fixed sheet surface 20a at the intermediate partitioned intermediate surface 20b.

The fixed sheet surface 20a has a substantially rectangular outer peripheral edge as an example. The segmented sheet surface 20c is also roughly rectangular as an example, but the two corner portions 20e and 20f of the end edge 20d connected to the side opposite to the fixed sheet surface 20a are rounded. In addition, a notch 20g is provided near the intermediate surface 20b at the lower edge of the partition sheet surface 20c (the lower edge in the use state of the cosmetic container 10). In addition to rounding the two corner portions 20e and 20f, linear chamfering may be performed.

The protective sheet 20 having the above-mentioned shape is formed of, for example, a thin transparent synthetic resin, and can be deformed as a whole. Therefore, if an external force is applied to the partition sheet surface 20c of the protective sheet 20, it can be deformed while swinging in the direction of the arrow C in the figure as the axis with the bent portion of the intermediate surface 20b. In addition, if the protective sheet 20 is formed of a transparent material as described above, the effect of easily recognizing the mirror 18 is obtained, but it is not limited to this, and may be formed of a translucent or opaque material.

The protective sheet 20 is fixed to the cover body 12 as shown in FIG. 3. In addition, FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the central portion of the cover body 12 with the protective sheet 20 fixed in the upper and lower direction viewed from above. In addition, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram, that is, the dimensions of each element shown in the diagram are different from the actual dimensions. As shown in the figure, the fixed sheet surface 20 a is fixed to the inner surface of the cover body 12 by being adhered to the cover body 12 through the adhesive layer 30. The mirror 18 is adhered to the fixed surface 20a by the adhesive layer 31. If necessary, the end surface and the intermediate surface 20b of the mirror 18 can be further connected by waiting. fixed.

Here, for example, the adhesive layer 30 or the adhesive layer 31 may be a layer such as an adhesive, but it is not limited to this, and the fixing sheet surface 20 a may be fixed to the cover 12 using a double-sided tape. Furthermore, the fixing piece surface 20a can be fixed to the cover body 12 by ultrasonic bonding or the like.

Hereinafter, the operation of the makeup container 10 having the above-mentioned configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows a state where the cover body 12 is set to the open position in the manner described above. When applying makeup using the makeup container 10, the user first sets the cover 12 to the open position by, for example, holding the portion of the body 11 from the lower side with the left hand M as shown in the figure. At this time, the partition sheet surface 20c of the protective sheet 20 becomes the state shown in FIG. 1. That is, when the cover 12 is in the closed position, the partition surface 20 c is located between the body 11 and the mirror 18. Thereby, the mirror 18 can be prevented from being soiled by the cosmetics 16 and 17.

After the user sets the lid 12 to the open position, the partition surface 20c in the state shown in FIG. 1 is swung by the thumb P of the left hand M from the end edge 20d, for example, and pushed open as shown in FIG. 4 To the position of the front face of the opening mirror 18. That is, the partition sheet surface 20c is deformed to a position deviated from the body 11 and the mirror 18 at this time. Thereby, the user can use the makeup material 16 or 17 while looking at the mirror 18, and can also use it for makeup when the cosmetic parts are stored in the storage portion 11b or 11c as described above.

In addition, in this embodiment, a bent portion (a connecting portion between the two) of the partition sheet surface 20c and the intermediate surface 20b is set on the left side of the mirror 18. Therefore, as long as the user holds the main body 11 with the left hand M that is not used to operate the makeup appliance, the user can easily use the thumb P of the left hand M as described above to easily open the partition surface 20c. However, it is not necessary to set the bent portion on the left side of the mirror 18, and it may also be set on the right side, the upper side, or the lower side of the mirror 18. Especially when the above-mentioned bent portion is set on the right side of the mirror 18, the makeup container can be provided as a person suitable for a left-handed person.

Regardless of whether the above-mentioned bent portion is set on either side of the mirror 18, as long as the fixed sheet surface 20a is fixed on the back side of the mirror 18, the partition sheet surface 20c can be disposed extremely close to the mirror 18. Information is sometimes displayed on the segmented sheet surface 20c as described later. If the segmented sheet surface 20c is configured to be extremely connected, Close-up lens 18, you can easily browse or read the information when you are looking at the mirror 18 and makeup.

When the cover 12 is set to the closed state, the partition sheet surface 20c needs to be moved to a position opposite to the mirror 18, and the closing operation is performed, but the partition sheet surface 20c is moved to the cosmetic material 16, as in the previous device. The situation of the 17 facing position is different, and the possibility that a user's finger or hand is accidentally soiled by the cosmetics 16, 17 is also reduced.

Furthermore, the mirror 18 is generally larger than the inner plate (container) 14 or 15. If the fixed sheet surface 20a is fixed on the back side of such a mirror 18, a bonding space, a welding space, and the like for fixing can be obtained largely. Thereby, the stable protective sheet 20 can be attached.

Also in this embodiment, the two corner portions 20e and 20f of the partition sheet surface 20c are rounded, so that the corner portions 20e and 20f can also protect the user's hands and fingers. In addition, the corner portions 20e and 20f of the partition sheet surface 20c are located farthest from the bent portion of the intermediate surface 20b. Therefore, when the partition sheet surface 20c is deformed, the possibility of contact with the cosmetics 16, 17 is high. However, if the corner portions 20e and 20f are chamfered, the effect of avoiding such contact and preventing the partition sheet surface 20c from being soiled can be obtained.

In addition, in the present embodiment, if the partition sheet surface 20c has no external force, it remains in a state of being non-parallel with respect to the mirror 18 and floating at a certain angle with respect to the mirror 18. The angle is, for example, about 15 to 20 °. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, on the right side of the hinge 13 in the main body 11, there are protrusions 11 f that protrude slightly outward than the hinge 13. If the partition plate surface 20c is gently pressed against the mirror 18 from the state shown in FIG. 4, while the cover 12 is swung in the closed direction, the portion of the partition plate surface 20c close to the corner portion 20f will lean against the above protrusion. The portion 11f suppresses the floating of the partition sheet surface 20c. And if the cover body 12 is set to the closed position at this time, the partition sheet surface 20c will be in the state located between the main body 11 and the mirror 18.

After that, even if the lid body 12 is swung to the open position in order to use the makeup container 10, the portion of the partition sheet surface 20c close to the corner portion 20f is still slightly leaned against the protruding portion 11f. From this state, use the thumb P of the left hand M to open the end of the partition sheet surface 20c as described above. When the edge 20d is operated, a portion of the time zone partition surface 20c close to the corner portion 20f is elastically deformed, and easily deviates from the protruding portion 11f.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, a left side of the hinge 13 in the main body 11 is a protruding portion 11 g that protrudes outward more than the hinge 13. Corresponding to this, a notch 20g is provided as described above to the partition sheet surface 20c. Therefore, when the partition sheet surface 20c is oscillated, the protruding portion 11g moves relatively in the notch 20g, so as to avoid interference between the partition sheet surface 20c and the protruding portion 11g.

Here, another example of the structure of fixing the protective sheet 20 and the mirror 18 to the cover 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In the drawings, the same elements as those already described are denoted by the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted unless necessary (the same applies hereinafter). In this example, as shown in FIG. 5, the fixed sheet surface 20 a of the protective sheet 20 has an opening 20 h in the central portion. As shown in FIG. 6, the fixed sheet surface 20 a is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 12 by adhering the surrounding portion of the opening 20 h to the cover 12 through the adhesive layer 30. The mirror 18 is adhered to the cover 12 by the adhesive layer 31 passing through the opening 20h. In this case, the protective sheet 20 is fixed by the cover 12, the mirror 18, and the adhesive layer 31, so the adhesive layer 30 is not necessary.

In the embodiment described above, the segmented sheet surface 20c is flexibly connected to the intermediate surface 20b. In addition, even in the case where the intermediate surface 20b is interposed, in the present invention, the so-called "segmentation sheet surface 20c is freely connected with respect to the fixed sheet surface 20a" is as described above.

The makeup container of the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which the partition sheet surface 20c is directly connected to the fixed sheet surface 20a and can be freely bent may also be adopted. FIG. 7 shows an example of a protective sheet having such a configuration.

The protective sheet 120 shown in FIG. 7 has a configuration in which the intermediate surface 20 b is removed from the protective sheet 20 shown in FIG. 2. The protective sheet 120 is fixed to the cover 12 in a manner as shown in FIG. 8, for example. The fixing structure of the protection sheet 120 is substantially the same as the fixing structure of the protection sheet 20 shown in FIG. 2 except that the intermediate surface 20b is not provided.

Next, another embodiment of the protective sheet will be described with reference to FIG. 9. The protection sheet 220 shown in FIG. 9 displays information 201 and 202 on one surface of the partition sheet surface 20c. In addition, the so-called "one surface" in this example is a surface facing the side of the mirror 18 when the segment 20c is located between the main body 11 and the mirror 18 among the two surfaces of the partition plane 20c.

The above-mentioned information 201 is a diagram showing, for example, the arrangement state of the cosmetic material or the cosmetic appliance of the main body 11 (see FIG. 1 and the like). On the other hand, the information 202 is a text or a description of a cosmetic or a cosmetic appliance. As the text information 202, for example, a description or precautions regarding the operation of the cosmetic container such as "Please put the protective film in the box and close the lid."

The information 201 and 202 can also be displayed on the other surface of the segmented sheet surface 20c (that is, the surface facing the side opposite to the mirror 18 when the segmented sheet surface 20c is located between the body 11 and the mirror 18). However, if the information 201 and 202 are displayed on one of the above-mentioned surfaces, the partition surface 20c swings sideways from the position opposite to the mirror 18, and the makeup can be easily confirmed while viewing the mirror 18 Information 201, 202. In addition, when the information 201, 202 is displayed on one of the surfaces described above, the possibility that the information 201, 202 is soiled by the cosmetic materials 16, 17 is also reduced.
