[Industrial applications]
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a compact container that allows a cosmetic storage drum to be detachably attached to a main body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 62-8801 is a representative example of a compact container in which a cosmetic storage drum is detachably assembled to a main body, so that a portable cosmetic can be refilled. There is.
[0003]
According to this conventional technique, the lower end of the front surface of the drum is locked in a drum storage portion formed in the main body while the elasticity is urged forward, and the upper surface of the rear end edge of the drum is positioned inside the main body side. Attach and assemble by locking it to the flange from below, and when replacing the drum, slightly retract the drum against the elasticity and release the lock at the front end to achieve removal of the drum from the drum storage section There is an advantage that the exchange of the drum is easy.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the above-mentioned prior art has a configuration in which a spring plate, which is a portion for applying elastic force to a fitted-fitted drum, is simply erected in such a manner that a tip thereof elastically contacts the drum. It is necessary to elastically contact the tip of the drum with the most protruding portion of the rear surface of the drum, and thus there is a problem that the configuration of the drum or the spring plate is limited.
[0005]
Further, the spring plate in the prior art is such that the distal end is displaced back and forth by elastic deformation with the proximal end fixed, so that the proximal end is immovable. In addition to the gap that allows the spring plate to be elastically deformed, it is necessary to provide a gap that is sufficient to release the front end face side of the drum from the drum accommodating portion of the main body. In addition, there is a problem that the setting of the dimensional relationship on the main body side is troublesome, and a space that cannot function as a storage space must be provided, so that the size of the compact container cannot be sufficiently reduced.
[0006]
Furthermore, since the upper surface of the rear edge of the drum is locked from below on the inner flange of the main body, only the rear part of the upper end surface of the opening of the drum is hidden when the drum is assembled to the main body. As a result, there is a problem that the appearance of the drum with respect to the main body is biased rearward, and the appearance of the drum with the main body is uneasy.
[0007]
In view of the above, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems in the related art, and the entire portion for urging a pressing force forward with respect to a drum fitted and assembled in a drum storage portion of a main body. The technical problem of the present invention is to make it possible to displace the drum in the front-rear direction and to achieve locking and holding of the drum with respect to the main body at this portion, thereby simplifying the combination structure of the main body and the drum, An object of the present invention is to provide a fitting assembly that is easy and reliable, and that no useless space is formed in a compact container.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Means of the present invention for solving the above technical problems are as follows:
A locking ridge is provided horizontally on the rear surface, and a partition wall piece standing upright with respect to the bottom wall and a telescopic arm piece elastically deformable in the front-rear direction are provided on a rear side wall portion facing the rear surface of the partition wall piece.

[0009]
In this case, it is preferable that the telescopic arm is positioned in a bottom groove extending in the left-right direction and provided in the rear part of the bottom wall of the main body, and the pressing piece is integrally erected at the center of the telescopic arm.
[0010]
Further, other means of the present invention,
A locking ridge is provided horizontally on the rear surface, and a partition wall piece standing upright with respect to the bottom wall and a telescopic arm piece elastically deformable in the front-rear direction are provided on a rear side wall portion facing the rear surface of the partition wall piece. Having a bottomed short cylindrical main body which is formed by forming a drum housing portion having a pressing piece provided with a projecting piece laterally on the front face, and
Having a lid body hinged to the side end of the main body so as to be freely opened and closed,
The front and rear surfaces are provided with locking grooves for locking to the locking ridges and projections of the main body, and the rear surface of the main body is fixed to the locking grooves with the locking ridges and projections of the main body. Having a bottomed short cylindrical cosmetic storage drum having a front and rear width to be pressed against the pressing piece,
The pressing piece of the main body has a tongue shape that can be elastically deformed rearward,
In a state in which the pressing piece of the main body can be elastically deformed rearward, a rear end limit of the extension of the telescopic arm piece of the main body within the elastic deformation range of the telescopic arm piece is provided,
It is in.
[0011]
In this case, the telescopic arm piece is positioned in a bottom groove provided in the rear portion of the bottom wall of the main body extending in the left-right direction, and a support piece is integrally erected at the center of the telescopic arm piece and pressed against the support piece. Preferably, the piece is hung down, and the abutting portion of the main body is preferably the front edge of the rear side wall abutting on the upper end of the rear surface of the pressing piece.
[0012]
The projecting width of the projecting piece, which is located above the pressing piece and protrudes forward from the front edge of the rear top wall, is set so that the gap formed between the rear side wall and the rear edge of the drum is hidden. It is effective to provide the overhanging piece over the entire width range of the drum housing.
[0013]
The main body includes a bottomed short cylindrical outer frame that hinges the lid to the side end, and a short cylindrical middle frame that is fitted and assembled into the outer frame and forms a drum housing. Advantageously, a bottom groove is formed in the bottom wall of the outer frame body, and a telescopic arm piece having a pressing piece is provided in a middle frame body having a partition wall.
[0014]
[Action]
In a state in which the drum is assembled to the drum storage portion of the main body, the drum is engaged with the locking ridge and the protruding piece of the main body with the rear surface elastically contacting the pressing piece of the main body, By this locking, it is assembled to the main body irremovably.
[0015]
From this state, when the drum is pulled up while applying a pressing force to the front surface of the drum, the drum retreats with the pressing piece against the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece or the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece and the pressing piece, and the locking projection of the main body. Since the lock between the strip and the locking groove of the drum is released, the front side of the drum is pulled up from the drum storage portion, and in this state, the drum is pulled out obliquely forward and upward from the drum storage portion, and the drum is pulled out from the drum main body. Achieve withdrawal.
[0016]
To assemble the drum to the drum storage section of the main body, insert the drum obliquely from above to the drum storage section, and expand and contract with the protrusion of the pressing piece locked in the rear locking groove of the drum. Against the elasticity of the arm piece or the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece and the pressing piece, together with the pressing piece, the drum is retracted to a position where the front edge of the drum can get over the locking ridge, and then the front end of the drum is engaged. The drum is moved forward by the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece or the elasticity of the telescopic arm piece and the pressing piece by removing the pressing force against the drum while the stop groove is lowered to the position facing the locking ridge, and the drum is moved forward. By locking the locking groove to the locking ridge, the non-detachable assembly of the drum with respect to the main body is achieved.
[0017]
As is clear from the assembled state of the main body with respect to the drum storage section and the mounting / removal operation mode of the drum with respect to the drum storage section, since the pressing piece of the main body is provided on the telescopic arm piece that expands and contracts elastically in the front-rear direction. However, due to the elastic deformation of the telescopic arm, the entire arm moves in the front-back direction, so that the pressing piece hinders the displacement of the drum in the front-rear direction with respect to the drum storage portion for attachment / detachment. There is no.
[0018]
Since the pressing piece as a whole is displaced back and forth together with the drum, when it is displaced backward with the drum, the pressing piece is almost always pressed to a substantially constant drum location without substantially changing the pressed drum location. The locking of the protruding piece provided on the piece to the locking groove provided on the drum can always be ensured while the pressing piece is pressing against the drum, so that when the drum is assembled to the main body, the insertion of the drum is performed. The stroke is not limited, the insertion assembly is smooth, and a reliable and stable engagement between the drum and the pressing piece is achieved and maintained.
[0019]
In the configuration in which the pressing piece has a tongue shape and the abutting portion is provided, the extension limit of the telescopic arm piece is within the elastic deformation range of the telescopic arm piece. At the position where the locking groove is locked, that is, at the position where the drum is completely mounted, the abutting portion regulates the displacement stroke of the drum for the drum to get over the locking ridge of the main body by elastic deformation of the pressing piece. I have.
[0020]
For this reason, the telescopic arm piece may be elastically deformed only to attach and hold the drum to the main body so that the drum cannot be detached. There is no need to deform to obtain the displacement stroke for overcoming the stop ridge, and this allows the elastic deformation range of the telescopic arm to increase the elasticity required for assembling and holding the drum to the main body without detaching it for a long time. The range is set to be within a range that can be exhibited stably over the entire range, thereby preventing the occurrence of functional deterioration of the telescopic arm due to fatigue deformation accompanying unnecessary elastic deformation.
[0021]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body 1 has a lid 17 having a mirror 19 fixed to the inner surface and a hinge piece 18 protruding at one end, and the hinge piece 18 An outer frame body 2 having a bottomed short rectangular cylindrical bottom wall 4 hinged to a side end, and a short rectangular cylindrical middle frame body 3 fitted into the outer frame body 2. Reference numeral 3 denotes a short rectangular tube-shaped side wall 5 fitted into the outer frame body 2, a top wall 6 continuously provided in an outer flange shape at an upper end edge of the side wall 5, and a rear portion formed by dividing the inside of the side wall 5 back and forth. And a partition wall 8 forming a drum storage section 15 and a front tool storage section 16.
[0022]
The partition wall 8 of the middle frame 3 exposes a front upper end portion of the drum 20 stored in the drum storage portion 15 and has a central portion in order to make it easy to attach and detach the drum 20 to and from the drum storage portion 15. A notch is provided with a reduced height, and a locking ridge 9 protrudes from the upper end of the rear surface of the central portion where the notch is provided.
[0023]
At the rear end of the middle frame 3, a telescopic arm piece 12 is provided between the lower edges of the left and right side walls 5, with a central part projecting slightly forward. At the center of the piece 12, a pressing piece 13 having a protruding piece 14 protruding from the front face is integrally formed so as to protrude rearward.
[0024]
With respect to the combination of the telescopic arm piece 12 and the pressing piece 13 of the middle frame 3, the telescopic arm piece 12 has a margin along the front and rear direction at the rear end of the upper surface of the bottom wall 4 of the outer frame 2. A bottom groove 11 that can be fitted therein is provided in an engraved shape. By positioning the telescopic arm piece 12 in the bottom groove 11, a drum housing portion 15 formed by attaching the middle frame 3 to the outer frame 2 is formed. Is flattened to stably assemble the drum 20 fitted into the drum housing 15.
[0025]
An overhanging piece 7 provided on the upper end of the front surface of the rear side wall 5 of the middle frame 3 in a form in which the top wall 6 extends forward over the entire width of the rear side wall 5 includes a drum 20 and a drum housing 15. the in fitted state, a clearance formed between the surface and the rear side wall 5 after the drum 20, that is, the pressing pieces 13 are provided at equal protruding length and the gap is located.
[0026]
Therefore, when the drum 20 is mounted, the gap formed between the rear surface of the drum 20 and the rear side wall 5 is covered and covered by the overhanging piece 7, and the appearance of the compact container when the drum 20 is mounted is reduced. It is good.
[0027]
The drum 20 for storing and holding the cosmetic is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the short rectangular tube with a bottom, which is fitted into the drum storage portion 15 with almost no gap, by the projections 9 of the locking ridge 9 and the pressing piece 13 of the middle frame 3. The locking groove 10 in which the piece 14 locks is provided so as to be peripheral, and has a structure having no front-back direction.
[0028]
The pressing piece 13 of the middle frame 3 is located at the cut-out central portion of the rear side wall 5. The thickness of the side wall 5 can be set as the displacement stroke of the pressing piece 13 in the front-rear direction, so that it is not necessary to form a useless space for displacing the pressing piece 13 in the drum housing portion 15, and the entire compact container The size of the device can be made as small as possible.
[0029]
The bottom wall 4 of the outer frame 2 forming the tool storage section 16 is provided with a number of small holes to enhance the drying function, so that the tool storage section 16 suitably functions as a puff storage section. I am trying to do it.
[0030]
In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the pressing piece 13 is provided between the upper ends of a pair of supporting pieces 13 a standing upright at the center of the telescopic arm piece 12 so as to protrude rearward. The lower part provided with the protruding piece 14 is elastically displaced in the front-rear direction with the upper end part, which is a part connected to the support piece 13a, as a fulcrum.
[0031]
A notch is provided in a portion of the rear side wall 5 facing the pressing piece 13 for the purpose of forming a clearance space for the pressing piece 13 which is elastically deformed rearward, and an upper end edge of the notch is formed. An abutting portion 5a is provided in the rear side wall 5 portion facing the upper end portion of the pressing piece 13 in a drooping manner, and the extension limit of the telescopic arm piece 12 is set at the upper end of the pressing piece 13 with respect to the abutting portion 5a. It is set by the end of the part.
[0032]
By making the abutting portion 5a contact the upper end of the pressing piece 13, in the state shown in FIG. 4 where the pressing piece 13 is elastically deformed, the reaction force of the elastically deformed pressing piece 13 causes the elastic arm piece 12 to move. The elastic deformation of the pressing piece 13 is made appropriate without causing any inconvenience such as an irregular upward bending deformation.
[0033]
The pressing piece 13 is not limited to the configuration of the illustrated embodiment. For example, arm pieces are continuously provided on both sides from the upper end of one support piece 13a, and the pressing pieces 13 May be provided in a hanging manner.
[0034]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention has the above-described configuration, and has the following effects.
Since the pressing piece that holds the engagement of the drum with the main body is configured to move the whole in the front-rear direction, the drum is caught on a part of the pressing piece, which is inconvenient for the operation of attaching and detaching the drum to and from the main body. Does not occur at all, and a smooth and reliable operation of attaching and detaching the drum can be obtained.
[0035]
Since the pressing piece is configured to be displaced in the front-rear direction, there is no danger of the drum hitting the immovable portion of the pressing piece when the drum is attached or detached. It is not necessary to provide a space for the pressing, and the pressing piece may simply be configured to abut on the drum, so that there is no need to form a useless space in the compact container that is a portable article, and the internal space can be used effectively and The setting of the assembling dimensional relationship between the main body and the drum is simplified.
[0036]
Since the extension limit of the telescopic arm is restricted to the position where the drum is completely fitted into the drum housing, and the displacement stroke of the drum for overcoming the locking ridge of the main body is obtained by the elastic deformation of the pressing piece. Therefore, the elastic arm does not cause elastic deformation beyond the stroke required to achieve the locking and holding of the drum with respect to the main body, thereby preventing the elastic arm from deteriorating in elasticity due to material fatigue. It is possible to obtain a proper operation force for attaching and detaching the drum, and thus it is possible to obtain stable holding of the drum with respect to the main body for a long period of time.
