BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a cosmetic container in which a cosmetic dish can be replaced, and the cosmetic dish can be prevented from easily falling off from the container body or rattling in the container body. The present invention relates to a cosmetic container that can be always stably stored therein.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some cosmetic containers such as cosmetic compacts are known in which a cosmetic dish can be exchangeably stored inside a container body that is opened and closed by a lid (Akita Sho 59). -31307). In the cosmetic container disclosed in the official gazette, a dish frame for attaching and removing a cosmetic dish is provided in the container body, and the dish frame is engaged with and disengaged from the front and rear of the cosmetic dish. Claw pieces and inwardly bent portions for freely engaging and holding the cosmetic dish in the dish frame were formed.
[0003]
In particular, the inwardly bent portion is formed on the rear end wall that is integrally formed with the dish frame and can be bent elastically on the claw piece side, and a protrusion is further formed on the rear end wall. This protrusion is pushed by the lid when the lid is closed, and the rear end wall is elastically pushed down to one side of the claw to deeply engage the inward bent portion with the cosmetic dish, while the lid is When the lid is opened, the rear end wall is allowed to return elastically by being separated, and the inner bent portion is shallowly engaged with the cosmetic dish, thereby facilitating the attachment and removal of the cosmetic dish. It was. And by adopting such a configuration, not only can the cosmetic dish be replaced easily, but also when the cosmetic container is dropped when the lid is opened and used, the cosmetic dish Can be prevented from easily falling off the tray frame.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the conventional cosmetic container, since the rear end wall is always elastically pushed down by the protrusion pressed by the normally closed lid, it is used for a long time. There was a problem that the rear end wall sagged during this period, and the elastic performance might be deteriorated or lost. If the elastic performance deteriorates, when the cosmetic container is removed when the lid is opened, the rear end wall cannot fully hold the cosmetic dish, and the cosmetic dish can be easily detached from the dish frame. Or fall out of the container body, making it impossible to use the cosmetics afterwards. Also, if the elastic performance is lost, the rear end wall tends to swing and the cosmetic dish rattles in the dish frame, causing abnormal noise, and this rattling causes the cosmetics in the cosmetic dish to crack. There is also a risk of letting it go.
[0005]
In any case, in a cosmetic container in which the lid is normally closed, in the past, the rear end wall is always in a tilted state and remains elastically deformed, so that makeup is performed by the inwardly bent portion. Since the tray was held in the tray frame, the rear end wall was always subjected to stress, and its elasticity was likely to be lost at an early stage, which could cause the various situations described above. was there.
[0006]
The present invention was devised in view of the above-described conventional problems, and in a cosmetic container in which a cosmetic dish can be replaced, the cosmetic dish can be easily detached from the container body or rattled in the container body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container that can prevent cosmetics and can always stably store a cosmetic dish in the container body.

And a detachment portion 14b that is set so that the horizontal distance H to the hinge pin 15 is shorter than the radius R with respect to the closed state of the lid 8, and does not contact the locking projection 25. .
[0015]
In the illustrated example, the hinge block 14 is formed in an arc shape with a constant radius R around the hinge pin 15 between the surface facing the locking projection 25 and the lower end thereof when the lid 8 is closed. The exposed surface opposite to the surface facing the projection 25 is formed as a flat surface with a short horizontal distance H to the hinge pin 15, and further on the flat surface, the locking projection in the rotation range of the lid 8 by the hinge pin 15. A lock contact portion 26 for adjusting a contact range between the hinge block 25 and the hinge block 14 is provided as a part of the contact portion 14a. Therefore, the hinge block 14 having the abutting portion 14a including the locking abutting portion 26 is in a state where the lid body 8 is raised with respect to the container body 3 (see FIG. 3), in other words, the use position of the mirror 9 Then, in the process of further turning in the direction of tilting, it comes into contact with the locking projection 25 partway, and then the lid body 8 is further rotated so that the detaching portion 14b faces the locking projection 25. A gap is formed between the elastic band-shaped part 19 and the elastic band-shaped part 19 (see FIG. 4).
[0016]
In the present embodiment, the lid 8 that has closed the container body 3 is rotated by approximately 180 °, that is, is rotated to a position at which the so-called container body 3 is fully opened, whereby the locking projection 25 is hinged. 14 is coming off.
[0017]
In the cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment described above, when the normal lid body 8 is closed, the contact portion 14a of the hinge block 14 is in contact with the lock protrusion 25, and this lock The elastic band-shaped portion 19 including the protrusion 25 is prevented from being elastically deformed at least toward the hinge 6, and the engagement of the engaging protrusion 20 with the engaging recess 22 is maintained by the elastic deformation of the elastic band-shaped portion 19. Thus, the cosmetic dish 5 is firmly held by the dish frame 4 and thus the container body 3 by the engagement protrusions 20 and the engagement protrusions 21. That is, the cosmetic dish 5 can be reliably held in the dish frame 4 in a state in which no stress is always generated in the elastic band portion 19.

As a result, the elastic band 19 can be elastically deformed toward the hinge 6 side, and the elastic deformation of the elastic band 19 allows the cosmetic dish 4 to be attached to and detached from the container body 3. That is, when the locking projection 25 is detached from the hinge block 14 and the elastic band portion 19 can be elastically deformed to the hinge 6 side, the cosmetics held in the cosmetic dish storage space S1 with a slight gap. The dish 5 can be moved to the hinge 6 side, and the engagement recess 22 can be detached from the engagement protrusion 21 of the partition wall 17. Then, if a stick-shaped object is inserted from the hole 23 of the container main body bottom part 3a and the cosmetic dish 5 is pushed up, it can remove from the dish frame 4 and by extension, the container main body 3. FIG.
[0020]
When the cosmetic dish 5 is mounted, when the cosmetic dish 5 is pushed into the cosmetic dish storage space S1, it is pushed by the side surface 5a of the cosmetic dish 5 so that the elastic band portion 19 is elastically bent and deformed toward the hinge 6 side. Then, the insertion operation of the cosmetic dish 5 is allowed, and then the engagement recess 22 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 20 and the engagement protrusion 21, whereby the elastic band portion 19 is elastically restored and stress is applied. In addition to disappearing, the cosmetic dish 5 can be stably held by being sandwiched between the partition wall 17 and the hinge side wall portion 16a.
[0021]
As described above, in the cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment, the engaging protrusion 20 that is detachably engaged with the cosmetic dish 5 in order to hold the cosmetic dish 5 on the container body 3 is provided with the makeup. In order to allow or prevent elastic deformation of the elastic band-shaped portion 19 while constituting the engaging means in the elastic band-shaped portion 19 which is elastically deformed in order to allow the detachment operation of the dish 5 into the container body 3. Since the locking means is constituted by the hinge block 14 that engages and disengages with the elastic band-like portion 19 and the locking projection 25 that conveys the contact state of the hinge block 14 to the elastic band-like portion 19. 20, the cosmetic dish 5 is held on the container body 3, and only when the cosmetic dish 5 is replaced, the contact portion 14 a of the hinge block 14 can be detached from the locking protrusion 25 and elastic deformation of the elastic band 19 can be performed. As detachable operation On the other hand, when the lid 8 is closed or when a normal makeup operation is performed, the contact portion 14a is kept in contact with the locking projection 25 to prevent elastic deformation of the elastic band-shaped portion 19 in the normal state. The stress can be prevented from acting continuously, and the cosmetic dish 5 can be always stably stored in the container body 3 by the engaging means including the engaging convex portion 20.
[0022]
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the elastic performance of the elastic band-like portion 19 of the engaging means for holding the cosmetic dish 5 from being deteriorated or lost, and the cosmetic container 1 can be removed when the lid 8 is opened for use. In such a case, the cosmetic dish 5 is easily detached from the dish frame 4 and dropped from the container body 3, and the subsequent use of the cosmetic material P becomes impossible. It is possible to prevent inconveniences such as the dish 5 rattling in the dish frame 4 and generating abnormal noise, and further causing the cosmetic P in the cosmetic dish 5 to crack due to this rattling.
