The refill container for sale and distribution, which is called a refill container, can be detachably fitted and held with a cosmetic storage dish that is hermetically sealed and stored together with the cosmetic, as a specific example. Kaihei 3-119315 and actual Kaihei 3-119
No. 317. In the compact container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-119315, as shown in FIG. 4, an annular wall 24 protrudes from the back surface of a lid 23 pivotally connected to one end of a container body 22 so as to be openable and closable. A female threaded cylinder 25 having a plurality of inclined ridges 26 provided on the inner surface of the annular wall 24 is rotatably mounted. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the container body 22 facing the female threaded cylinder 25, An annular wall 28 protruding from a plurality of inclined ridges 27 engageable with the ridge is provided upright. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 29 denotes a cosmetic storage dish fitted inside the annular wall 28, and reference numeral 30 denotes a cylindrical elastic member fixed to the back surface of the lid 23. In this compact container, after the lid 23 is rotated in the closing direction to overlap the upper surface of the container body 22, the female screw cylinder 25 is rotated, and the inclined ridge 26 on the inner surface thereof is
By engaging and engaging the lower side of the ridge 27 on the outer peripheral surface of the second annular wall 28, the lid 23 is locked and the lid 23 is forcibly moved to the container body 22 side. The cylindrical elastic member 30 attached to the back surface of the lid 23 is brought into close contact with the upper surface of the flange of the cosmetic storage dish 29 to hermetically seal the cosmetic storage dish 29. The compact container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-119317 has a cover 31 pivotally attached to the container body 22 so as to be openable and closable, as shown in FIG.
8 is provided, and a turning cover 32 is attached to the projecting portion 31a so as to be rotatable within a predetermined range.
By engaging a plurality of inclined ridges 33 projecting from the inner periphery of the outer peripheral wall of the annular wall 28 with the plurality of inclined ridges 33 projecting from the peripheral cutout 31b of the projection 31a, Similarly, the cylindrical elastic member 30 attached to the back surface of the lid 31 is brought into close contact with the upper surface of the flange of the cosmetic storage dish 29 so as to hermetically seal the cosmetic storage dish 29. [0006] In the above-mentioned conventional compact containers, each of the above-mentioned conventional compact containers has an inclined ridge projecting from the outer peripheral surface of an annular wall, and an inner periphery of an internal threaded cylinder (or a rotating lid). The lid is closed by engaging the inclined ridges provided. Accordingly, the range of rotation of the female threaded cylinder (or the rotating lid) is determined by the length of each inclined ridge provided on the outer peripheral surface of the annular wall. I will not. Therefore, locking and unlocking of the lid can be performed only by slightly rotating the female screw-shaped cylinder or the rotating lid to the left and right. Although the operability is excellent, the hook between the inclined ridges is small, and the inclination is small. Because of the steepness, the lock of the lid is easily loosened, and in that case, the cosmetic may leak to the outside of the compact container, and there is a possibility that the surroundings may be stained in a bag containing the compact container. In addition, sufficient airtightness cannot be obtained because there is little hanging between the inclined ridges,
There is a risk that the cosmetic will volatilize and change its quality. To prevent this, when not in use for a long time, remove the cosmetic storage dish from the compact container and return it to a highly airtight refill container for distribution. There was a problem that labor was required. An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional compact container. According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a container body provided with a storage section for cosmetics and a storage section for makeup tools such as puffs and brushes is provided. In a compact container in which a lid for closing the container main body is rotatably connected to each other at the rear portion, a bottom surface of a cosmetic storage portion provided in the container main body is opened to form an opening, and the opening is formed. A plurality of elastic locking pieces for locking the periphery of the lower end flange portion of the refill container are provided on the periphery of the refill container, and the refill container is screwed into the refill container in the container body to hermetically hermetically store cosmetics.
And the screw cap to be mounted. A plurality of elastic locking pieces provided on the periphery of the opening of the cosmetic storage section lock the periphery of the lower end flange of the refill container, and fix the refill container in the compact container. Act to do. The opening formed in the bottom surface of the cosmetic storage portion of the container body presses the bottom surface of the refill container to release the engagement between the flange portion and the elastic locking piece to remove the refill container from the compact container. Acts as a push-motion operation unit. FIG. 1 shows a container body 2 and a refill container 3 according to an embodiment.
FIG. As shown in the figure, the compact container of the present invention is a container body 2 provided with a cosmetic tool storage section 2a for storing cosmetic tools (not shown) such as puffs and brushes, and a cosmetic storage section 2b for storing cosmetics. A refill container 3 called a refill container is accommodated therein, and the refill container 3 is accommodated by a lid 1 pivotally attached to a rear portion 2c of the container body 2 as shown in FIG. The upper surface of the container body 2 is closed with the lid kept in place. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the refill container 3. The refill container 3 has a screw lid 4 made of synthetic resin having a screw groove (not shown) formed on the inner periphery thereof, and a main body made of the same synthetic resin having a screw 6a screwed with the screw groove formed on the outer periphery. 6
The refill cosmetic is hermetically and airtightly stored together with the cosmetic storage dish 5 and used at the time of sales and distribution. Further, the main body 6 has a flange 6b at the lower end thereof, and the flange 6b is provided with a plurality of engagement recesses 6c on the peripheral edge of the lower end. [0013] The cosmetic storage dish 5 is formed by attaching a metal plate to a flange 5a.
Is formed by press working into a circular shallow dish shape having a concave portion 5b for engagement at the same time on the outer periphery thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, the container body 2 has an opening 2d formed by opening the bottom surface of the cosmetic storage section 2b. The opening 2d has a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of the bottom surface of the refill container main body 3. A plurality of projections 2e are provided at predetermined positions on the periphery, and a plurality of elastic locking pieces 2f project upward from the periphery between the projections 2e. Has been established. Reference numeral 2g denotes locking projections projecting inward from the distal ends of the elastic locking pieces 2f, respectively. The size of the protruding edge 2e depends on the size of the refill container main body 6.
It is assumed that the size of the engagement recess 6c formed on the bottom surface is at least equal to the length and depth in the circumferential direction. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 denotes a push button which is engaged with a hook (not shown) of the lid 1 to lock the lid 1 so that it cannot be opened and to release the lock by being pushed. Is shown. In the compact container of the present invention having the above structure, the refill container 3 is positioned by aligning the protruding edge 2e of the container body 2 with the engaging recess 6c of the refill container 3 as shown in FIG. When pressed against the opening 2d side of the container main body 2, the plurality of elastic locking pieces 2f provided on the periphery of the opening 2d are pushed and spread in a direction in which they come into contact with the lower end periphery of the flange 6b and expand.
Fits below the locking projection 2g of the elastic locking piece 2f. At this time, the protruding edge 2e of the container body 2 is fitted into the engagement recess 6c of the flange 6b to prevent the refill container 3 from dropping downward from the opening 2d, To keep it from turning. The elastic locking piece 2f presses the flange 6b of the refill container 3 when the locking protrusion 2g at the tip protrudes above the flange 6b of the refill container 3. This prevents the storage unit 2b from coming off. Thus, the refill cosmetic is loaded into the compact container together with the refill container 3.
Then, as with the normal compact container, the lid 1 is unlocked by operating the push button 7 or the like, and the lid 1 is pivotally opened. After opening the upper surface of the container body 2 in this way, in the compact container of the present invention, the screw lid 4 of the refill container 3 that appears in the container storage portion 2b is turned and removed. At this time, the main body 6 of the refill container 3 does not rotate because the engagement recess 6c of the flange 6b is engaged with the protruding edge 2e of the container main body 2 as described above. Thus, in the compact container of the present invention, the upper surface of the cosmetic storage dish 5 is opened, and the cosmetic stored therein is taken out and provided for use. After use, the screw cover 4 is first tightened, and then the cover 1 is rotated to lock the cover. As a result, the cosmetic is hermetically sealed and stored in the compact container. When the cosmetics are exhausted or when the cosmetics need to be replaced, the bottom of the refill container 3 is pushed up from the opening 2d of the container body 2 with the lid 1 opened and the flange 6b is opened. The refill container 3 may be detached from the compact container by releasing the engagement between the refill container and the elastic locking piece 2f, and a new refill container may be fitted thereto. Alternatively, only the cosmetic storage tray 5 in the refill container 3 may be replaced. Thus, the compact container of the present invention is used. In this embodiment, an example in which an engagement recess 6c is provided in the flange portion 6b of the refill container body 6 and a protruding edge 2e fitted in the engagement recess 6c is provided in the container body 2 is shown. As shown, the main body 6 of the refill container 3 only needs to be fixed to the container main body 2 so as not to be rotatable when the screw lid 4 is opened and closed. The locking piece 2f may be provided with a ridge or the like that fits into the vertical groove. As described above, the compact container of the present invention has a screw cap, and a highly airtight refill container can be directly loaded into the cosmetic storage section, so that the volatilization of the cosmetic is ensured. It is prevented and there is no risk of deterioration. Also, since the airtightness is not required for the compact container itself, the structure is simplified,
An elastic member or the like for maintaining airtightness is not required, so that manufacturing can be performed at low cost. Furthermore, since the upper surface of the cosmetic storage tray is closed with the screw lid of the refill container, the interior of the compact container is not stained with cosmetics, and the lid of the compact container includes a cosmetic storage portion from a cosmetic tool storage portion. There are many excellent effects that have not been seen in the past, such that a large mirror can be attached to the camera.
