Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a compact container having a removable auxiliary container.

Compact containers are mainly for portable use, so it goes without saying that consideration should be given to making the compact container itself smaller, but on the other hand, it is also important to keep cosmetic tools and several types of cosmetics that are directly necessary for applying makeup. It is also desirable to have a structure that allows them to be stored together as much as possible.

Conventionally, as a compact container that takes these points into consideration, one is known in which the compact container itself has a multi-tiered structure and the lid, inner plate, etc. are configured to be rotatable by a single hinge.

However, when using this type of compact container, in addition to the lid, the inner tray is also opened and closed each time, so when using cosmetics, the cosmetics may be stored in the lower shelf as well. If the inner tray is opened, the mirror on the inside of the lid body will be hidden by the inner tray, making it difficult to use.
In addition, because the container body, inner plate, lid, etc. are integrally joined with a hinge and cannot be separated as mentioned above, there are many types of containers that can be used depending on the time of use or the individual's convenience. When cosmetics, tools, etc. are not needed, there is a problem in that the container itself becomes bulkier than necessary.

In addition, some proposals have been made for compact containers with a multi-tiered structure in which the lower container can be slid freely, but conventional compact containers with such a structure have been assembled as a whole. There were drawbacks such as the container being closed and not removable, and the container that was removable being able to be removed accidentally falling out when the slidable container was pulled out, scattering the stored items.

The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above points, and allows an auxiliary container to be slidably attached to the back side of the bottom of the container body to store various types of cosmetics and tools. To provide a compact container with an auxiliary container which can be separated and used as a general thin compact container when unnecessary, is easy to attach and detach, and does not fall out carelessly.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the attached FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a substantially rectangular container body, and reference numeral 20 denotes a lid for opening and closing the container body 10, which is hinged to the rear wall 12 of the container body 10 via a hinge A. Further, reference numeral 30 indicates the container body 10.
This auxiliary container 30 is slidably attached to the bottom back side of the container body 10 from the rear wall 12 side to the front wall 11 side.
The container body 10 and the lid body 2 are formed into a rectangular shape with approximately the same external shape as shown in FIG.
0 and the auxiliary container 30 constitute one compact container as a whole.

As shown in FIG. 4, front and rear walls 11,
Guide grooves 15, 15 extending in 12 directions are provided. Both guide grooves 15, 15 have both end portions connected to the front and rear walls 11, 12, respectively.
It is open on the outer surface. Further, on the back side of the bottom plate portion 14 of the container body 10, at positions closer to the front and rear walls 11 and 12 of the container body 10, both side wall portions 1 are provided.
A front stopper 16 and a rear stopper 17 extending in the 3rd and 13th directions are provided in a protruding manner. Furthermore, on the inside of both stoppers 16 and 17, as shown in FIG. They are provided parallel to the stoppers 16 and 17, respectively. The distance between the adjacent small protrusions and the stopper is set to be slightly larger than the thickness of the upright piece, which will be described later. Of the two stoppers, the rear stopper 17 is formed with a tapered surface 17a that slopes downward from its tip toward the outer surface.

On the other hand, both side plate parts 31, 31 of the auxiliary container 30
The upper edge of the container body 10 has the guide groove 15,
The locking protrusions 3 slidably fit into the respective parts 15.
2 and 32 are provided. The locking protrusion 32 projects inward from the upper edge of the side plate portion 31 and is provided along the entire length of the side plate portion 31 .
Further, on the bottom plate part 33 of the auxiliary container 30 and near the rear plate part 34, there is a sliding plate that engages with the inner surface of the rear stopper 17 at the overlapping position shown in FIG. An upright piece 35 is provided to protrude and engage with the inner surface of the front stopper 16 at the limit position (extracted position). This upright piece 35 is formed to have a wall thickness that has appropriate elasticity, and furthermore, this upright piece 35 has a tapered surface 35a that slopes downward from its upper edge to the outer surface (the surface on the rear plate portion 34 side). There is. In the figure, reference numeral 21 is a hook, 22 is a mirror provided on the inner surface of the lid 20, 37,
38 and 39 are storage parts for cosmetics, tools, and the like.

In the compact container with an auxiliary container configured as described above, when the auxiliary container 20 is attached to the container body 10, the front plate portion 36 of the auxiliary container 30 is positioned on the rear wall portion 12 side of the container body 10. Fit the locking protrusions 32 into the guide grooves 15, respectively, and
Next, the auxiliary container 30 is attached to the front wall portion 11 of the container main body 10.
Just push it towards the side. At this time, auxiliary container 3
As shown in FIG. 1, the upper edge of the upright piece 35 comes into contact with the rear stopper 17 before it overlaps the container body 10, creating frictional resistance, but the rear stopper 17 is formed with a tapered surface 17a. Therefore, the upright piece 35 acts on this tapered surface 1 along with its own elastic action.
7a, it is possible to get over the rear stopper 17 relatively easily. The upright piece 35 that has climbed over the rear stopper 17 is fitted and positioned between the rear stopper 17 and the small protrusion 19 on the inside thereof.

Next, when the auxiliary container 30 is further pushed toward the front wall 11 of the container main body 10 from this state, the upright piece 35 slides over the small protrusion 19 toward the front wall 11, and the front After passing over the small protrusion 18 on the inside of the stopper 16, it comes into contact with the front stopper 16, as shown in FIG. At this time, the front stopper 16
has no tapered surface, and the surface where the upright piece 35 comes into contact with the front stopper 16 is also not provided with a tapered surface, so the engagement between the two is strong, and therefore, further sliding of the auxiliary container 30 is prevented. becomes impossible. This state is the so-called pull-out position of the auxiliary container 30, and if cosmetics, tools, etc. are stored in each storage section, these can be easily taken out and used. In this state, the small protrusion 18 exerts the effect of restricting the rearward sliding of the upright piece 35.

Next, when the auxiliary container 30 is not needed, for example, the first
In the state shown in the figure, when removing the auxiliary container 30 from the container main body 10, if the auxiliary container 30 is slid in the opposite direction to when it is attached, the upright piece 35 comes into contact with the rear stopper 17; Since the rear stopper 1 is provided with a tapered surface 35a,
7 can be overcome relatively easily.
Therefore, after that, the auxiliary container 30 is replaced with the container main body 10.
It can be easily separated from the After separation of the auxiliary container 30, it is also optional to use the container body 10 as a thin compact container with a lid 20.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the auxiliary container is slidably and removably attached to the back side of the bottom of the container body, so that it is possible to store various types of cosmetics and tools, and When it is not needed, it can be separated and used as a general thin compact container, and it is easy to attach and detach, making it convenient to use.The auxiliary container can only be attached and detached from the rear of the container body, and the container Since it does not fall out from the front part of the main body, it has excellent effects such as preventing accidents such as accidental falling out during use.

In particular, according to the present invention, in a compact container equipped with such an auxiliary container, the auxiliary container is used by being pulled out directly to the front side by manual operation. It is difficult to control the container by hand, and it is difficult to stop it especially when it is being pulled out, but since it does not slip out to the front side of the container body, it is extremely easy to operate.
