Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact container capable of replacing an inner dish containing cosmetics.

Background Art

[0002] In cosmetic compact containers, those of the type capable of replacing the inner dish containing cosmetics are widely popular. In such a type where the inner dish can be replaced, a holding frame for holding the inner dish so that it does not shift is required, and the holding frame is connected to the main body so as to be rotatable together with the lid. The holding frame is held by the main body by engaging means such as engaging claws, and the inner dish is replaced by disengaging the engaging means and lifting and rotating the holding frame.

[0003] When lifting and rotating the holding frame for replacing the inner dish, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 for example, holes are often made in the bottom of the main body, and the holding frame is often pushed up from below with pins. On the other hand, Patent Document 3 discloses a structure in which when the lid is opened 180 degrees, the base of the holding frame is pushed at the base of the lid, and the holding frame opens and rotates.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The method of using a pin to push up the retaining frame, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, has the problem of being unreliable because a pin of the appropriate diameter is not always available, which can easily lead to panic in a pinch. In this regard, it is conceivable to enlarge the hole so that the retaining frame can be pushed up with a fingertip, but in this case the hole is noticeable, which is unsightly.

[0006] Furthermore, whether using a pin or fingertips to push out the contents, the process often involves turning the compact container upside down or tilting it significantly, which is not only cumbersome but also prone to the inner tray falling out or the cosmetic product spilling due to the rotation of the holding frame.

[0007] On the other hand, while the method of using the lid to raise the container, as described in Patent Document 3, has the advantage of not requiring a pin for pushing up, when using a compact container, the lid may be opened wide regardless of whether the inner tray is being replaced, which can cause the retaining frame to rise from the main body unintentionally, resulting in a lack of reliability.

[0008] The present invention was made to improve this current situation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The compact container of the present invention is "A tray-shaped body with a peripheral wall and an upward-facing opening into which a container for cosmetics can be placed; a retaining frame that overlaps the body from above to hold the container in a way that prevents it from being removed; and a lid that covers the container and the retaining frame, comprising the body, the retaining frame and the lid That is, They are connected to each other so that they can rotate relative to one side, with one side acting as a pivot point. Occasionally, Engaging means between the retaining frame and the main body, which engage with each other to hold the retaining frame to the main body. A recess for storing cosmetic applicators is formed in the retaining frame, and the retaining frame has a recess for storing applicators with a bottom plate. " This is the basic structure.

[0010] And in the above basic configuration, " The side of the main body and retaining frame furthest from the pivot point is considered the front, and the side closest to it is considered the rear. The applicator housing recess extends across the entire width of the retaining frame at the front of the retaining frame, and the front wall of the applicator housing recess is continuous with the upper surface of the retaining frame, The aforementioned tray is positioned behind the applicator housing recess. Furthermore, the engaging means is positioned in front of the applicator housing recess, and the rear wall of the applicator housing recess is set as a finger grip when raising and rotating the retaining frame. 」 It has the feature of "

[0013] Claim 1 As an expansion example of 2 , in Claim "The engaging means is composed of a leg-shaped engaging claw hanging down from the holding frame and an engaging portion formed on the peripheral wall of the main body." It has the following structure.

[0014] Claim 3 The invention of Claim 1 or 2 As an expansion example of "With the free end away from the rotation fulcrum as the front and the longitudinal direction of the rotation fulcrum as the left-right direction, an operation frame portion with a hook piece for releasing the closed state of the lid is formed to enter the inside of the main body at the front end and the left-right middle portion of the main body, and the engaging means is provided at both left and right sides sandwiching the operation frame portion." It has the following structure.

[0015] The invention of claim 4 is also an extension of claim 1 or 2, "A horizontally elongated knurled surface is formed on the rear wall of the recess for housing the applicator." This is the structure.

Advantages of the Invention

[0016] In the invention of the present application, since the finger-hooking recess In the applicator housing recess which is used for both purposes is for putting the fingertips in and lifting the holding frame, tools like pins are not required, and it is excellent in immediate response and certainty. Also, since there is no need to provide a hole for pushing up on the main body, there is no deterioration in aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, since the holding frame does not rotate unless the fingertips are inserted into the recess, there is no problem that the holding frame is accidentally lifted and rotated.

[0017] Also, upward-opening Recess for storing applicatorThe holder is raised by placing your fingertips on it, and since the operation to raise the holder can be done with the compact container in a horizontal position and the lid open, the operation is very easy, and problems such as the inner tray falling or the cosmetic spilling out are completely eliminated.

[0018] Compact containers typically come with applicators such as brushes, tips, and puffs, and the holding frame has a recessed bottom for storing the applicators. The present invention Using the recess for housing the applicator tool as a recess for raising the retaining frame, as shown above, has the advantages of simplifying the structure and ensuring that the aesthetic appearance does not deteriorate.

[0019] In the present invention, Because the engaging mechanism is positioned in front of the applicator housing recess, pressing the applicator housing recess towards the pivot point with a fingertip smoothly disengages the engaging mechanism. Therefore, the retaining frame can be rotated upwards without compromising the usability of the applicator.

[0020] Claim 2 Forming the engaging claws as legs that hang down from the retaining frame has the advantage of facilitating the elastic deformation of the engaging claws and ensuring secure engagement and disengagement of the engaging means.

[0021] In compact containers, the lid is also secured to the main body by an engagement mechanism using engaging claws, and an operating frame section with a hook piece is often provided in the middle of the left and right front end (free end) of the main body. However, in this case, since the operating frame section is recessed into the main body, the parts of the main body on both the left and right sides of the operating section become dead space located in front of the applicator housing recess. 3 This invention allows for the placement of engagement means by effectively utilizing the dead space on both the left and right sides of the operating frame.

[0022] By adopting the configuration of claim 4, the user can improve their grip when raising and rotating the retaining frame, and can easily understand that the uneven parts are finger grips for raising the retaining frame. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0024] (1) Basic structure of the first embodiment Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, the first embodiment (main embodiment) shown in Figures 1 to 6 will be described. As clearly shown in Figure 2, the compact container of this embodiment comprises a main body 1, a retaining frame 2, and a lid 3, each formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, and these components are connected by a pin 4 at one of the short sides so as to be able to rotate relative to each other. The main body 1, the retaining frame 2, and the lid 3 are all molded products made of synthetic resin such as ABS.

[0025] In the following, the terms front / back and left / right are used to specify direction, but the direction of the pivot axis is defined as the left / right direction, and the direction perpendicular to the pivot axis is defined as the front / back direction. For front and back, the side with the free end is considered the front and the side with the pivot point is considered the back. For clarity, the directions are clearly indicated in Figure 1(A). The compact container in this embodiment has a front-to-back elongated shape, but a left-to-right elongated shape or a square shape can also be adopted.

[0026] As clearly shown in Figure 2, the main body 1 is formed in the shape of a shallow tray, having a front wall 5, a rear wall 6, side walls 7, and a bottom surface (bottom plate). Approximately two-thirds of the rear part of the bottom surface is designed to accommodate two rows of inner trays 8. To position the inner trays 8, horizontal ribs 9 are formed on the left and right sides, and vertical ribs 10 are formed on the front and back sides. The inner trays 8 are rectangular trays with an upward opening, and contain cosmetics such as creams or powders.

[0027] In this embodiment, the main body 1 has two rows of tray placement areas, front and back. Figures 1 and 2 show four trays 8, but the width of the trays 8 can be set arbitrarily. For example, it is possible to place one tray in each of the front and back areas, or to place one tray 8 and two trays 8 separately in the front and back areas, or to place three or more trays 8 in one area. Users can select cosmetics according to their preference and set them in the compact container.

[0028] The retaining frame 2 holds the inner tray 8 in place to prevent it from detaching. It has flanges 11a to 11c that overlap the upper surface of the main body 1 on all four sides, and a recessed area 12 for storing an applicator, which is long on both sides and has a bottom, is formed towards the front. The area behind the applicator recess 12 is an opening 13 that exposes the inner tray 8.

[0029] The applicator housing recess 12 has a front wall 12a, a rear wall 12b, and side walls 12c. The upper ends of each wall 12a, 12b, and 12c are continuous with the upper surface of the retaining frame 2.The retaining frame 2 further has longitudinal positioning ribs 14 that hang downward from the left and right side flanges 11b. As shown in Figure 4, a flange is also provided at the rear end of the applicator housing recess 12. As shown in Figure 5(B), the positioning ribs 14 are in close contact with or adjacent to the side wall 7 of the main body 1.

[0030] Figure 3 shows an example of the applicator 15. The illustrated applicator 15 has applicators at both ends, but types with a brush at only one end of the handle or puffs can also be used. Naturally, the applicator 15 is selected according to the type of cosmetic product.

[0031] As clearly shown in Figure 5(B), the positioning rib 14 and the applicator receiving recess 12 are separate, but it is also possible to eliminate the positioning rib 14 at the location of the applicator receiving recess 12 and bring the left and right outer surfaces of the applicator receiving recess 12 into close contact with the side wall 7 of the main body 1.

[0032] The inner circumferences of the flanges 11a to 11c in the retaining frame 2 protrude into the interior of the main body 1, and their inner edges overlap the upper surface of the middle tray 8. The retaining frame 2 also has left and right longitudinal partition bars 17 positioned between the front and rear rows of middle trays 8, and the partition bars 17 overlap (or are close to) the rear ends of the front row of middle trays 8 and the front ends of the rear row of middle trays 8 from above. Therefore, the opening 13 is divided into front and rear sections by the partition bars 17. For example, as shown in Figure 4, the partition bars 17 are provided with downward-facing ribs 18 that maintain the spacing between the front and rear rows of middle trays 8.

[0033] Furthermore, if a single tray 8 that fits within the tray placement area is placed, or if multiple horizontally oriented trays are placed in the tray placement area in a front-to-back arrangement, or if multiple long, front-to-back trays are placed in a front-to-back arrangement in a left-to-right arrangement, the partition bar 17 does not need to be provided. It is also possible to divide one tray 8 into multiple storage compartments and store cosmetics of different colors, etc., in each compartment.

[0034] In this embodiment, one partition bar 17 is formed in the holding frame 2, corresponding to the fact that the main body 1 has two rows of tray placement areas, front and back. However, it is also possible to form three or more rows of tray placement areas in the main body 1, in which case two or more partition bars 17 are formed in the opening of the holding frame 2.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the tray placement area of ​​the main body 1 is formed in front and behind, but it is also possible to form the tray placement area in a state where it is divided into left and right sections, in which case the partition bars 17 will be in a front-to-back longitudinal shape. In this case as well, the number and orientation of the partition bars 17 can be arbitrarily set according to the partition configuration of the main body 1.

[0036] As shown in Figure 1, the lid 3 has a front wall 19 and side walls 20, and a mirror 21 is attached to its bottom surface. As clearly shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6(A), the outer circumference of the flanges 11a to 11c on the retaining frame 2 is located inward from the outer surface of the main body 1. Therefore, the upper surface of the main body 1 has a portion exposed to the outside of the flanges 11a to 11c on the retaining frame 2, and the walls 19 and 20 of the lid 3 overlap this exposed portion.

[0037] As can be seen from Figures 2 and 4, bearing portions 22 are provided at both the left and right ends of the rear end of the main body 1, while a pair of left and right bearing brackets 23 that overlap the inner surfaces of the bearing portions 22 are integrally provided at the rear end of the retaining frame 2, and a bearing boss portion 24 located between the left and right bearing brackets 23 is integrally provided at the rear end of the lid 3, and the bearing brackets 23 and the bearing boss portion 24 are connected to the bearing portions 22 by left and right pins 4.

[0038] (2) Lid closing mechanism For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, an operating frame 27 is formed in the left and right middle section of the front end of the main body 1, and is horizontally elongated with openings to the front and top. A hook piece 28 is positioned in the operating frame 27 so as to be able to move back and forth and not be able to come off. The hook piece 28 has a box-like shape with an opening to the rear, and a rectangular notch 29 with an opening to the rear is formed on its upper surface.

[0039] As shown in Figure 4, a forward-facing rib 30 is provided protruding from the lower part of the interior of the operating frame 27, and the bottom plate 28a of the hook piece (release mechanism) 28 is inserted from the front into the space formed between the bottom plate 27a of the operating frame 27 and the rib 30. A downward-facing retaining claw 31 is formed at the tip of the bottom plate 28a of the hook piece 28, while a recess 32 is formed in the bottom plate 27a of the operating frame 27 into which the retaining claw 31 fits. Therefore, the hook piece 28 is held in the operating frame 27 so as to be able to move back and forth but cannot be removed.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4, a first engaging claw 33 is provided projecting backward from the lower end of the left and right intermediate portion of the front wall 19 of the lid 3, inclined diagonally downward so as to be inserted into the notch 29 of the hook piece 28. Meanwhile, a first engaging portion 34 is formed on the front inner surface of the operating frame portion 27, into which the first engaging claw 33 engages from below.

[0041] The claw portion 33a of the first engaging claw 33 and the first engaging portion 34 are formed in a V-shape (triangle) when viewed from the side. Therefore, when the lid 3 is closed from an open position, the claw portion 33a of the first engaging claw 33 moves forward and then backward due to the elastic deformation of the first engaging claw 33 and the elastic deformation of the front wall 19 of the lid 3, engaging with the first engaging portion 34 from below. As a result, the lid 3 is held in a closed position.

[0042] When the hook piece 28 is pushed backward with the lid closed, the front inner surface of the notch 29 contacts the front surface of the first engaging claw 33. However, since the first engaging claw 33 is inclined diagonally downward, the backward movement of the hook piece 28 pushes the first engaging claw 33 upward. This releases the engagement of the first engaging claw 33 with the first engaging portion 34, allowing the lid 3 to be opened.

[0043] When the lid 3 is opened, the claw portion 33a of the first engaging claw 33 rests on the upper surface of the first engaging portion 34, and the lid 3 is held in a slightly open position. In other words, the lid 3 is pushed up by the hook piece 28. Therefore, the user can easily open the lid 3 by placing their fingertips on the front end.

[0044] (3) Structure for holding the retaining frame in a closed state As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 6, a second engagement portion 35, which is V-shaped in side view, is provided projecting backward from the inner surfaces on both the left and right sides of the front wall 5 of the main body 1, flanking the operating frame portion 27, as part of the engagement means described in the claim. On the other hand, a notch 36 corresponding to the operating frame portion 27 is formed in the front flange 11a of the retaining frame 2, but there is space on both the left and right sides of the notch 36 inside the main body 1, and a foot-shaped second engagement claw 37 that engages with the second engagement portion 35 is provided projecting downward from the front flange 11a of the retaining frame 2 as an engagement claw that forms part of the engagement means described in the claim.

[0045] Since the claw portion 37a of the second engaging claw 37 is formed in a V-shape (triangle) when viewed from the side, when a certain amount of force is applied to the retaining frame 2 from above, the second engaging claw 37 can engage with and disengage from the second engaging portion 35 against the elastic deformation of the retaining frame 2.

[0046] As described above, applying a certain amount of force to the retaining frame 2 and applying an upward force to the retaining frame 2 will release the engagement of the second engaging claw 37 with the second engaging portion 35. In this embodiment, the applicator housing recess 12 is also used as a finger grip recess as a means of applying an upward force to the retaining frame 2.

[0047] That is, as shown in Figure 6(B), the user, with the lid open, the rear wall 12b of the applicator housing recess 12 The front (inner surface) is set as the finger rest, and the front Place fingertip 38 on it Hold slot 2 Pull backward (push) This releases the engagement of the second engaging claw 37 with the second engaging portion 35, allowing the retaining frame 2 to be raised and rotated. This enables the replacement of the inner plate 8.

[0048] In this embodiment, the applicator housing recess 12 is also used as a finger rest recess. Me, beautifulThe retaining frame 2 can be raised and rotated without compromising the feel. Therefore, a high level of design integrity can be maintained. When the retaining frame 2 is lowered from the raised position and pressed against the main body 1, the second engaging claw 37 elastically deforms and then returns to its original position, thereby holding the retaining frame 2 in the closed position.

[0049] Furthermore, since the retaining frame 2 has a frame structure with an opening 13 that penetrates vertically, it can be elastically deformed to narrow the front-to-back width of the opening 13. In addition, there is a slight clearance between the front and rear inner surfaces of the opening 13 and the inner plate 8, and also a slight clearance between the front and rear inner plates 8.

[0050] Therefore, if you place your fingertip against the rear wall 12b of the applicator housing recess 12 and push it backward, the applicator housing recess 12 can retract slightly due to the elastic deformation of the retaining frame 2. In this respect as well, the upward rotation of the retaining frame 2 is supported. As in the embodiment, providing a pair of second engaging portions 35 and second engaging claws 37 on the left and right sides has the advantage of stabilizing the closed state of the retaining frame 2.

[0051] Now, since the retaining frame 2 rotates with the pin 4 as the pivot point, in order to increase the moment (rotational force) on the retaining frame 2, it is preferable that the span (length) from the pin 4 (rotation pivot point) to the fingertip 38 be as large as possible. In this respect, by using the applicator housing recess 12 as a finger rest recess, as in the embodiment, the span (length) from the pin to the fingertip 38 can be made as large as possible, enabling smooth raising and rotating of the retaining frame 2.

[0052] When the applicator recess 12 is also used as a finger rest, people typically place their fingertips 38 on the left and right middle portion of the rear wall 12b of the applicator recess 12. Therefore, as in the embodiment, arranging the second engaging portion 35 and the second engaging claw 37 closer to the operating frame portion 27 has the advantage of minimizing the distance from the fingertips 38 to the left and right second engaging claws 37, thereby ensuring reliable disengagement of the second engaging claws 37.

[0053] (4) Other embodiments ·Reference example Figures 7 and 8 show other embodiments. and reference examples This shows that the second embodiment shown in Figure 7(A) is a modification of the first embodiment, and in the front surface of the rear wall 12b of the applicator housing recess 12, the left and right middle portions are shown. users To improve the grip of the fingertips when applying pressure. Ta Therefore, a horizontally elongated knurled surface 39 is formed.

[0054] On the other hand, the third embodiment shown in Figure 7(B) is also a modification of the first embodiment, and longitudinal protrusions 40 are formed on the left and right sides at the upper ends of the left and right middle portions of the front surface of the rear wall 12b of the applicator housing recess 12 in order to improve the grip of the fingers when applying the applicator.

[0055] As in these second and third embodiments, by forming uneven parts 39 and protrusions 40 on the rear wall 12b of the applicator housing recess 12, the user can easily understand that the uneven parts 39 and protrusions 40 are finger grips for raising the holding frame 2.

[0056] Figure 8 shows First reference example In the front flange 11a of the retaining frame 2, dedicated finger rest recesses 41 are formed on both the left and right sides, flanking the operating frame portion 27. The finger rest recesses 41 are of the form of cutouts with openings at the top and bottom, and a protrusion 40 for finger rests is formed on the rear edge. In addition, a positioning rib 42 is formed on the front edge of the finger rest recess 41, which overlaps with the front wall 5 of the main body 1.

[0057] Furthermore, a foot-shaped second engaging claw 37 is provided projecting downward from the part of the finger-receiving recess 41 opposite to the operating frame portion 27, while a second engaging portion 35 is formed on the side wall 7 of the main body 1, into which the second engaging claw 37 engages and disengages. In this embodiment, the user can insert their fingertips (for example, the index finger and middle finger, or the index finger and ring finger) into the projection 40 to pull up the holding frame 2 with two fingers.

[0058] this Reference exampleTherefore, since the finger rest recess 41 is far from the pivot center and close to the second engaging claw 37, the pulling force from the fingertip can be strongly applied to the second engaging claw 37. Consequently, even if the area of ​​the finger rest recess 41 is small and the gripping area for the fingertip is small, the retaining frame 2 can be raised easily. In this embodiment, it is also possible to raise the retaining frame 2 by placing a finger in the applicator housing recess 12. The finger rest recess 41 can also be formed with a bottomed structure.

[0059] Figure 8(D) As a second reference example As shown, it is also possible to form a second engaging portion 35 on the front wall 5 of the main body 1 by projecting downward from the front end of the finger-grip recess 41. The second engaging portion 35 is an engaging groove, but it can also be formed as a projection similar to that in other embodiments.

[0060] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be implemented in various other ways. For example, instead of using a hook piece as in the embodiments, a method of opening the lid by hooking a fingertip onto a tab provided at the front end of the lid and pulling it open can also be adopted.
