  The elastic member 60 accommodates a fixed piece 62 in a compressed state in the left and right fixing portions 29 while the thin plate portion 61 is inserted into the opening 29a from above. When the fixing piece 62 is restored after being stored, its end face is fixed by being stuck in the fixing portion 29. The thin plate portion 61 is hung between the left and right fixing portions 29. At this time, the thin plate portion 61 is inserted through the central portion 6 formed between the front plate portion 43 and the rear plate portion 44, and the front surface 61 a of the thin plate portion 61 is brought into contact with the outer surface of the rear wall of the front plate portion 43. It becomes a state.

  Next, the operation of the compact container 1 according to this embodiment will be described. In manufacturing the compact container 1, the fixing piece 62 is fixed to the fixing portions 29 of the side walls 23 and 24, and the elastic member 60 is disposed in the cosmetic dish storage portion 5. The thin plate portion 61 is inserted into the center portion 6 and the hook 41 is inserted into the hole portion 22a, and then the locking portion 47 is locked to the fitting piece 28a of the fitting portion 28 so that the inside of the cosmetic dish storage portion 5 The cosmetic dish 4 is fitted in a freely slidable direction. A hinge pin 54 is communicated with the hinge block 51 and the hinge piece 50, and the lid 3 is rotatably connected to the container body 2.

  In opening the lid 3, the compact container 1 is held with one hand so as to support it from below, and the left and right side walls 23, 24 are pressed with fingers. The fixing portion 29 moves inward together with the side walls 23 and 24 pressed inward. Then, the thin plate portion 61 is elastically deformed rearward via the fixing piece 62 fixed to the fixing portion 29, and the rear surface of the thin plate portion 61 abuts against the front wall of the rear plate portion 44 so that the rear plate portion 44 is moved backward. Press to. As a result, the entire cosmetic dish 4 slides backward. Along with this, the hook 41 of the front plate portion 43 is also slid rearward, the engagement between the hook 41 and the engaging portion 31a is released, and the lid 3 is opened with fingers or the like.

  When the pressing operation of the side walls 23 and 24 is released, the side walls 23 and 24 are elastically restored. Accordingly, the elastic member 60 is also elastically restored by being pulled by the fixing portion 29. At this time, the front surface 61a of the thin plate portion 61 presses the rear wall of the front plate portion 43 forward, so that the cosmetic plate 4 is slid forward to the original position before the side walls 23 and 24 are pressed. .

  In closing the lid 3, the lid 3 is pressed from above with fingers or the like. Then, the hook 41 is pressed by the engaging portion 31a and moves rearward together with the cosmetic dish 4, and the hook 4 gets over the engaging portion 31a and is engaged therewith.

  In the compact container 1, a hook portion is formed between the cosmetic dish 4 and the lid 3, and an elastic member 60 is disposed in the cosmetic dish storage portion 5. Fixed to the fixing part 29. Accordingly, if the side walls 23 and 24 are pressed, the pressing force directly acts on the cosmetic dish 4 from the side walls 23 and 24 via the elastic member 60, and the engagement state with the lid is released. Operability such as opening the lid can be stabilized.

  The elastic member 60 is formed by a plate spring having a thin plate portion 61 and a fixed piece 62 regardless of a complicated structure such as the slide piece of the background art described above. The plate spring is fixed by locking the fixing piece 62 to the fixing portion 29. For this reason, the assembly property can be improved, and the productivity can be improved because it can be formed in a simple structure without fine design and manufacture. Further, since a simple single plate spring is used, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the center of the elastic member 60 is in contact with the cosmetic dish 4, the elastic member 60 enables the cosmetic dish 4 to slide backward, and allows the cosmetic dish 4 that has moved rearward to move. It can also be pushed back. More specifically, the thin plate portion 61 is inserted into the central portion 6 between the front and rear dish portions 23 and 24, and the fixing piece 62 is fixed to the fixing portion 29. Thereby, if the side walls 23 and 24 are pressed, the cosmetic plate 4 can be slid backward by the elastic deformation of the rear surface 61b of the thin plate portion 61 in contact with the rear plate portion 24, If the pressing operation is released, the front plate 61a of the thin plate portion 61 is elastically restored while being in contact with the front plate portion 23, so that the cosmetic plate 4 moved rearward can be returned to the original position.

  In the present embodiment, the drooping front wall portion 31 is provided on the lid 3. Thus, when the lid is closed, the drooping front wall portion 31 covers the entire front wall 22 of the container body 2, and the appearance of the entire compact container 1 can be improved. In addition to this, the hook 41 is formed at the front end 40 of the cosmetic dish 4 and protrudes from the hole 22a of the front wall 22 of the container body 2, so that the cosmetic that scatters to the surroundings at the time of makeup or the like can be obtained. In addition, since it is difficult to adhere to the periphery of the hole 22a and the hook 41, it is possible to make it difficult to cause problems such as operation failure.

  In the present embodiment, the pair of slits 27 are formed over substantially the entire length in the length direction of each of the side walls 23 and 24. Thereby, the side walls 23 and 24 can be elastically deformed flexibly, and the lid can be opened regardless of where the side walls 23 and 24 are pressed, and the usability can be improved.

  However, it goes without saying that the pair of slits 27 may not be formed over substantially the entire length of the side walls 23 and 24. For example, the slit 27 can be formed only around the fixed portion 29. Thereby, the point of the pressing operation can be determined, a pressing operation with high power efficiency is possible, and the operability of the lid can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, the cosmetic dish 4 has two dish parts 43 and 44. However, the shape of the cosmetic dish 4 is not limited to this. For example, the cosmetic dish 4 may have one dish part. In this case, for example, the thin plate portion 61 may be inserted through the central portion 6 by forming the central portion 6 at an appropriate position on the bottom wall of the cosmetic dish 4.

  In the present embodiment, the elastic member 60 is formed of a metal leaf spring. However, the elastic member 60 may be formed of other materials such as a synthetic resin material.
