Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a compact container in which a lid is pivotally attached to a container body with a recess for storing cosmetics, etc., so that it can be opened and closed. The present invention relates to a compact container suitable for containing cosmetics, etc.

Since the cosmetics stored in conventional compact containers have relatively few volatile components, it was sufficient to simply cover the cosmetic storage recess with a lid. However, in recent years, various cosmetics have been developed and provided, and as a result, cosmetics that contain relatively large amounts of volatile ingredients are sometimes stored in compact containers. The cosmetic must be kept airtight. The first thing to consider is to provide a sealant around the inner periphery of the container body or lid, but in that case, the inner surface of the container body and the inner surface of the lid must not be exactly parallel. If a uniform pressure is not applied to the sealing material and therefore there are variations in dimensions at the rear end pivoting portion or the front end engaging portion, sufficient airtightness cannot be obtained. Furthermore, if the space between the container body and the lid is simply sealed, the volatilized cosmetic may adhere to the mirror on the inner surface of the lid and fog it.

The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to be able to reliably keep cosmetics, etc. airtight with the lid closed, and to prevent cosmetics, etc. from being volatilized by the mirror inside the lid. An object of the present invention is to provide a compact container that is free from the risk of fogging due to water.

Hereinafter, a compact container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a container main body made of synthetic resin, and inside the main body there is a recess for storing cosmetic tools such as puffs, and cosmetics containing a relatively large amount of volatile components are stored therein. recesses 3 are formed in parallel in the front and back. The peripheral edge 4 of this recess 3 is slightly lower than the other parts.

A lid 6 is attached to the rear edge of the container body 1 by a pin 5.
A mirror 7 is fixed to the inner surface of the front part of the lid 6. In addition, the lid body 6
A melon piece 8 hangs down from the front edge of the container, and a first protrusion 9 provided at the lower end of the melon piece 8 engages with a second protrusion 10 of the container body 1, thereby closing the lid against the container body. occupy a position. In this embodiment, the second projecting piece 10 is formed integrally with an actuating piece 12 attached to the front end of the container body 1 with a spring 11 interposed therebetween, and the second protruding piece 10 is formed integrally with an actuating piece 12 attached to the front end of the container body 1 with a spring 11 interposed therebetween. When pressed rearward, the engagement between the first protruding piece 9 and the second protruding piece 10 is released, and the lid body 6 can be opened freely thereafter.

A plate member 13 having a size large enough to close the recess 3 is arranged between the container body 1 and the lid 6. As shown in FIG. 2, both ends of the plate member 13 are stepped portions 13a and 13b, and guide holes 14 are formed on the inner surfaces of both side walls of the container body 1.
a and 14b, respectively, so that the plate member is supported slidably in the front-rear direction. Further, a protrusion 15 is formed approximately at the center of the upper surface of the plate member 13, as shown in FIGS.
In the closed position of the lid 6 shown in the figure, the upper end of the protrusion comes into contact with the inner surface of the lid 6 and the plate material is pressed downward. On the other hand, an elastic packing material 16 is buried in the upper surface of the peripheral edge 4 of the recess 3 with its upper end protruding, and the plate is pressed downward by the lid 6 through the protrusion 15 as described above. The lower surface of the material 13 is uniformly pressed against the elastic packing material 16.

In the compact container constructed in this manner, in the closed position of the lid body 6 shown in FIGS. Since they are in uniform pressure contact, the airtightness of the recess is reliably maintained, and therefore, even when volatile cosmetics, etc. are stored in the recess, reduction of the cosmetics due to volatilization is prevented. In addition, since the cosmetic does not volatilize to the outside of the recess 3, the mirror 7 provided on the inner surface of the lid 6 does not become cloudy.

In addition, in order to use the cosmetics stored in this recess 3, operate the operating piece 12 on the front edge of the lid body 6.
After opening the recess 2 and taking out a puff or the like from the recess 2, slide the plate 13 forward with your finger as shown in Fig. You can use the fee freely.
After use, the plate member 13 may be slid onto the recess 3 again and the lid 6 may be closed.

In the above embodiment, an elastic packing material is provided on the upper surface of the peripheral edge of the recess 3, but in addition to this, an elastic sheet may be attached to the lower surface of the plate material 13, or the plate material 13 may be made elastic to some extent. It is also possible to form it with a certain material.

As described above, in the compact container according to the present invention, a plate material having a protrusion formed on the upper surface is arranged to be horizontally slidable between the container body and the lid, and the recess is formed by the sliding part of the plate material. It can be opened and closed by movement,
In the closed position of the lid, the protrusion is pressed downward by the lid, thereby uniformly pressing the plate material against the periphery of the recess, sealing the recess. , the airtightness of the recess is reliably maintained;
Therefore, it is suitable for storing cosmetics containing a relatively large amount of volatile components, and the volatilized cosmetics do not adhere to the mirror on the inner surface of the lid and cloud it. In addition, the operation during use is simple, and since the structure is relatively simple, molding and assembly can be performed easily and at low cost.

Further, in the case where an elastic packing material is provided on the upper surface of the peripheral edge of the recess, and the plate material is uniformly pressed against the packing material at the closed position of the lid body, the plate material can be smoothly pressed. The airtightness of the recess can be further improved without preventing sliding, which is very convenient in practice.
