Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a compact container.

[Problems to be solved by conventional technology and ideas] Conventionally, compact containers for cosmetics have a container main body and a lid connected by a hinge, and a locking means such as an engaging protrusion is provided on each periphery. is publicly known. However, this container requires strong force to disengage the engagement protrusion when opening the lid, making it difficult to open the lid, and in some cases, the engagement protrusion may be damaged. Sometimes.

Therefore, an operating member is slidably disposed in a slide hole provided in the container body, and the operating member is pressed to displace the lid upward by the slope at the tip, thereby engaging the lid and the container body. A container was proposed that could release the However, this container has a large thickness because of the slide hole, and the structure of the slide hole and the operating member is complicated, leading to high costs. moreover,
In order to make the container thinner, the slide hole and the operating member must also be made thinner, and there is a risk of breakage.

In addition, the present applicant previously proposed a cosmetic container in which a notch was provided at the opening of the main body and a sliding member was slidably arranged in the notch (Utility Model No. 58).
−68209). However, this container requires an inner frame having a hole to prevent the slide member from coming off, which causes problems in that the cost is high and the manufacturing process is time-consuming. Also,
Even when the slide member is held by the inner frame, it is movable between the bottom surface and the inner frame, so there is a problem in that the slide member rattles when the container is carried, producing an unpleasant sound.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention provides a container whose lid can be opened easily and reliably with a single action, whose main body can be made thin, which is durable and less prone to breakage, and which can be manufactured at low cost. This is what we are trying to provide.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In the compact container of the present invention, the container body 10 and the lid 12 are hinged at the rear so that they can be opened and closed, and both 10 and 12 can be engaged with each other when the lid is closed. It is a compact container provided with a locking means, and a cutout recess 24 that is continuously opened upward and forward is provided in the front peripheral edge 22 of the container body 10, and inside the cutout recesses 24, 24. Container body 10

Recesses 48, 48 are provided in the sliding direction of the pressing member 36, and both sides 28, 28 of the notch recesses 24, 24 are provided.
includes a protrusion 32 that engages with the recesses 48, 48;
32, and the length of the recesses 48, 48 in the sliding direction is larger than the length of the protrusions 32, 32 in the sliding direction, thereby making it possible to press the pressing member 36 to the rear of the notch recess 24. and an outwardly facing slope 62 is provided on the front peripheral edge 22 of the lid body 12,
An inward slope 47 that contacts the outward slope 62 is provided at the upper end of the pressing piece 38.

[Operation] When opening the lid of the compact container of the present invention, the pressing member is slid forward. Then, the inward slope of the pressing member pushes up the outward slope of the lid, and the lid opens.

In this case, the pressing member has a projection fitted into a recess provided in the projecting piece, and the recess slides along the projection. Therefore, it is possible to push up the lid reliably.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

The compact case of this embodiment has a case body 10
and a lid 12 placed thereon, which are hinged so as to be freely opened and closed. That is, a notch 14 is provided on the back side of the container body 10, and a hanging piece 16 is provided on the lid 12 at a position corresponding to the notch 14, and the notch 14 and the hanging piece 16 are fitted together, and a hinge pin 18 penetrates between the back side of the container body 10 and the hanging piece 16 of the lid 12.

The container body 10 has a cosmetic storage recess 20 in the center.
have. A notch recess 24 that opens upwardly and outwardly is provided at a position on the peripheral edge 22 of the container body 10 facing the hinge notch 14 .

The cutout recess 24 is made up of a back surface 26 and side surfaces 28, 28 perpendicular to the inner surface 26 and facing each other. A locking protrusion 30 is formed above the inner surface 26,
As will be described later, this locking protrusion 30 is configured to be able to engage with a corresponding engagement protrusion 64 of the lid body 12.

Numerals 32, 32 are protrusions, which protrude horizontally from opposite sides 28, 28 of the notched recess 24, and their tips are rounded off to form forward-facing slopes 34, 34. .

Reference numeral 36 denotes a pressing member, which includes a slightly curved rectangular pressing piece 38 corresponding to the overall shape of the container body 10, and protruding pieces 4 extending from both ends of the pressing piece 38.
0, 40, these pressing pieces 38 and protruding pieces 40,
It has a box-shaped configuration with an upper surface 42 and a lower surface 44 arranged above and below the upper surface 40.
A notch 46 into which a hanging portion 60 of the lid 12 (described later) can be inserted is bored in the center of the lid 2 . Reference numeral 47 denotes an inward slope, which is formed at the upper end of the pressing piece 38, which is the base end of the notch 46, so that it can come into contact with an outward slope 62 provided on a hanging part 60 of the lid body 12, which will be described later. It is formed.

48, 48 are the projecting pieces 40 of the pressing member 36,
40, and in this embodiment, it is formed as a rectangular through hole.

The pressing member 36 presses the notch recess 2 of the container body 10.
4, and at this time, a space is formed between the rear end of the pressing member 36 and the inner surface 26 of the notch recess 24. At that time, the recess 4 of the pressing member 36
8 and 48 are fitted with protrusions 32 and 32 that protrude from the notched recess 24 of the container body 10. Regarding the dimensional relationship between the recesses 48, 48 and the protrusions 32, 32, the recesses 48, 48 are formed larger than the protrusions 32, 32 in the sliding direction of the pressing member 36; The difference determines the pushing stroke of the pressing member 36. Further, in the vertical length of the container body 10, the recesses 48, 48 and the protrusions 32, 32 are formed to be substantially the same, thereby restricting the vertical movement of the pressing member 36.

It is preferable that the pressing member 36 is made of a material having some elasticity such as plastic, and when assembling the present container, the pressing member 36 is press-fitted from the outside of the notch recess 24 by utilizing its elasticity.
In this case, since the tips of the protrusions 32, 32 are formed into the forward-facing slopes 34, 34 as described above, the protrusions 32, 32 can be smoothly fitted into the recesses 48, 48.

The lid body 12 has a fitting hole 5 provided in the center of the lid plate 50.
2 is fitted with a mirror 54, and both are fitted with a top plate 56. Reference numeral 60 denotes a drooping portion provided on the entire surface side of the lid body peripheral portion 58, and this drooping portion 60 is arranged at a position corresponding to the notch portion 46 of the pressing member 36. The outer surface of the hanging portion 60 is formed as an arcuate outward slope 62 that is indented inward, and an engaging protrusion 64 is provided on the inner surface of the hanging portion 60.

In the closed state of the container, the hanging portion 60 is connected to the notch 46 of the pressing member 36 and the inner surface 2 of the notch recess 24.
6, and the locking protrusion 30 engages with the engagement protrusion 64 of the lid body 12. Furthermore, an inward slope 47 provided at the upper end of the pressing piece 38
is in contact with the outwardly facing slope 62 of the hanging portion 60.

When opening the lid 12 of this container, as shown in FIG. 3, the pressing member 36 is pressed to move it forward in the direction of the arrow, that is, inward. As a result, the inward slope 47 formed at the upper end of the pressing piece 38 comes into pressure contact with the outward slope 62 of the lid 12 and presses it upward, displacing the lid 12 upward and displacing the container body. The engagement between the locking protrusion 30 of No. 10 and the engagement protrusion 64 of the lid body 12 is released. In this way, in the container of the present invention, the lid 12 can be easily opened by one action of pressing the pressing member 36.

When closing the lid 12 in this container,
By pressing the lid 12 downward from the open state shown in FIG. 3, the outward slope 62 of the lid 12 comes into pressure contact with the inward slope 47 of the pressing piece 38, causing the pressing member 36 to move outward. , the engagement protrusion 64 of the lid body 12
