  However, in the above-described prior art, the hinge that integrally couples the container main body and the lid projects to the rear of the container, so that the hinge may be caught by other articles when handled as a single item. There has been dissatisfaction that this reduces the convenience of handling and, in some cases, the protruding hinges can reduce the appearance of the refill container.

  In addition, when the contents are filled and stored in the container body, depending on the type of contents (for example, powdery cosmetics), the integrally hinged lid is an obstacle, and the contents are filled and stored. There was dissatisfaction that it was not possible to improve the sex.

  Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-described problems in the prior art, and in the refill container in which the lid is hinge-coupled to the container main body so as to be capable of opening and closing, the hinge is located behind the refill container. The technical challenge is to prevent the container body from being protruded and to handle the container body as a single item. It is easy to handle, has a simple appearance, and improves the workability of filling the container body with the contents. The purpose is to increase.

Among the present invention for solving the above technical problems, the means of the invention according to claim 1 is:
A bottomed short cylindrical container body for storing the contents, and a top short cylindrical lid body that is assembled to the container main body so as to be capable of opening and closing with a hinge as an axis;
The container body has a first engaging recess on the upper surface and a second engaging recess on the lower surface on the rear side of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall provided with a locking projection on the front side of the outer peripheral surface. Providing and projecting a plate piece,
The lid is locked to the front side of the outer peripheral surface with the locking protrusion of the container body, and the hinge is provided halfway from the upper end on the rear side of the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall provided with the locking piece for holding the lid in the closed position. A horizontally installed hinge plate piece is suspended, and a first engagement protrusion that engages with the first engagement recess of the container main body is provided at the upper end of the inner surface of the hinge plate piece below the hinge. The projecting first engaging plate piece is provided below and the second engaging plate piece projecting from the lower end is provided with a second engaging projecting piece that engages with the second engaging recess of the container main body at the top end portion. To configure,
It is in.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, the container main body and the lid body are the first engagement protrusion and the second engagement of the lid body with respect to the first engagement concave portion and the second engagement concave portion of the container main body. Since the hinges are coupled by the engagement of the projecting pieces, each is handled as a single product before the hinges are coupled.

  Therefore, when filling and storing the contents in the container main body, the container main body is handled as a single item, so that the lid does not interfere with the filling and storing operation of the contents. It becomes possible to perform the filling and storing work of the object well and efficiently.

  Further, in the closed posture state of the refill container, the hinge plate piece provided with the hinge horizontally remains in the hanging posture that is not bent by the hinge, so that the hinge does not protrude outward, thereby the hinge is It is not located on the outer peripheral surface of the refill container as a protrusion that may get caught by other articles.

  Furthermore, since the jointed part of the container body and the lid is covered by the hinge plate piece of the lid, at first glance, the container body and the lid are molded separately to form a complicated assembly. There is almost no possibility of recognizing that it has a coupling portion, and it is easy to recognize that the container body and the lid are simply formed integrally through the hinge.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first aspect of the invention, the first engaging concave portion of the container body is positioned at the center portion of the engaging lateral plate piece, and the two second engaging concave portions are engaged. The first engaging plate piece and the second engaging plate piece of the lid body are positioned vertically opposite to each other on both sides of the combined horizontal plate piece, and the first engaging protruding piece is located at the center of the first engaging plate piece. The second engagement projection piece is positioned on both sides of the second engagement plate piece, and a notch is provided in a portion facing the first engagement projection piece from below. That is, the piece is divided into two parts.

  In the second aspect of the present invention, the first engagement recess and the second engagement recess are positioned so as to be shifted laterally without facing each other, so that both engagement recesses are provided. A decrease in the structural strength of the engaging lateral plate piece due to the above can be suppressed, whereby the depth of both engaging recesses can be set to such a degree that a sufficient engaging force can be obtained.

  In addition, since both the engagement recesses and the engagement protrusions are positioned so as to be shifted laterally without facing up and down, when the engagement recesses and the engagement protrusions are engaged, the engagement horizontal plate The piece is bent and deformed, and the engagement between the engagement recess and the engagement protrusion is easily achieved.

  Similarly, since the second engagement plate piece has a two-part structure, when the engagement recess and the engagement projection piece are engaged, the second engagement plate piece is easily elastically deformed, and this engagement is performed. Engagement between the recess and the engagement protrusion is easily achieved.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the first or second aspect of the present invention, a support projecting piece for holding and holding the lid body in a constant open angle posture on the outer surface portion of the hinge plate piece immediately below the hinge projects sideways. It is added to the provision of the strip.

  In the invention according to claim 3, the hinge can be formed in the simplest linear shape without providing a constant angle opening posture self-holding function only by providing a support protrusion having a very simple structure. Even if it is molded into a structure in which a thin portion is formed, the lid can be held in an open posture at a constant angle, and the convenience when using the refill container is increased accordingly.

  The invention according to claim 4 adds to the structure of the invention according to claim 1, 2 or 3 that it is used by being detachably assembled together with a cosmetic tool such as a puff in a compact container. It is a thing.

  In the invention according to the fourth aspect, since the container body and the lid are structured to be hinge-coupled, it is possible to reduce the size sufficiently so as to be optimal as the refill container, and there is a hinge on the outer peripheral surface. Since it does not protrude, it is not necessary to form a structure portion for avoiding the protruding hinge on the compact container side, and the structure of the compact container is simplified accordingly.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
In the invention according to claim 1, since the container body can be handled in a single item state, the lid body does not interfere with the filling and storing operation of the contents, thereby enabling automatic handling of the container body. Thus, the container body can be filled and accommodated stably and efficiently.

  Further, since the hinge does not protrude outward as a sharp protrusion, there is no unpleasant hook with other articles, and a safe and good handling condition can be obtained.

  Furthermore, since the joint part of the assembly of the container main body and the lid is in a state of being covered with the joint part of the lid, that is, the hinge plate piece, the container main body and the lid are integrally formed via the hinge. Appearance looks like a thing, and the appearance is simple.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the decrease in the structural strength of the engaging lateral plate piece due to the provision of both engaging recesses can be suppressed, the depth of both engaging recesses can be sufficiently increased. It is possible to obtain a resultant force, whereby the strength of the engagement assembly between the container body and the lid can be sufficiently increased.

  In addition, since both the engagement recesses and the engagement protrusions are positioned so as to be shifted laterally without facing each other, when the engagement recesses and the engagement protrusions are engaged, the engagement horizontal plate The piece is bent and elastically deformed, and the engagement between the engagement recess and the engagement protrusion can be easily achieved.

  Similarly, since the second engagement plate piece has a two-part structure, when the engagement recess and the engagement projection piece are engaged, the second engagement plate piece is easily elastically deformed, and this engagement is performed. It is possible to easily achieve the engagement between the recess and the engagement protrusion.

  In the invention according to claim 3, even if the hinge is formed into a structure in which the thinned portion is formed in the simplest line shape, the lid can be held in an open posture at a constant angle. Therefore, the convenience in using the refill container can be sufficiently enhanced.

  In the invention described in claim 4, since the container body and the lid are structured to be hinge-coupled, it is possible to sufficiently reduce the size effective as a refill container, and the hinge does not protrude from the outer peripheral surface. It is not necessary to form a structure portion for avoiding the protruding hinge on the compact container side, and the structure of the compact container can be simplified.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
A refill container 1 according to the present invention includes a container body 2 having a bottomed short cylinder shape that stores cosmetics such as a foundation, and a lid 8 having a short tube shape that opens and closes the container body 2. Has been.

  The container body 1 having a bottomed short cylindrical shape has a first engaging recess 6 on the upper surface and a second engaging surface on the lower surface of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 3 projecting the locking protrusion 4 on the front surface of the outer peripheral surface. The engaging lateral plate pieces 5 each having the engaging recesses 7 are provided so as to protrude.

  One first engaging recess 6 (see FIG. 7) is provided at the center of the base end portion of the engaging lateral plate piece 5, whereas the second engaging recess 7 (see FIG. 7) is engaged. Two are provided at both end portions of the base end portion of the horizontal plate piece 5, and the second engagement recess portion 7 is disposed so as not to face the first engagement recess portion 6 from below.

  The lid 8 having a short cylindrical shape has a locking piece 11 that locks with the locking protrusion 4 and holds the lid 8 in a closed position on the front side of the outer peripheral surface, and an operation for opening the lid 8. A hinge plate piece 12 having a hinge 13 disposed in the middle is suspended from a rear upper end portion of the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 9 provided with the finger-hanging piece 10, and the inner side surface of the hinge plate piece 12 below the hinge 13. A first engagement plate piece 14 having a first engagement protrusion 15 that engages with the first engagement recess 6 is provided at the lower end of the lower surface of the inner surface of the same hinge plate piece 12. In addition, second engagement protrusions 17 that engage with the second engagement recesses 7 are provided to protrude from the top end portion of the upper surface, respectively, and lateral protrusions are formed on the outer surface of the hinge plate piece 12 immediately below the hinge 13. The projecting piece 18 is formed in a projecting manner.

  The first engagement plate piece 14 (see FIG. 8) is provided over the entire width range of the hinge plate piece 12, but the first engagement projection piece 15 is provided only in the center portion thereof, and the second engagement plate piece 14 is provided. The plywood piece 16 (see FIG. 8) is a horizontal plate piece structure that is divided into two parts with the center part as a missing part. The mating piece 17 is provided over the entire width range.

  In addition, 19 is a packing made of a flexible elastic material for tightly assembling the lid body 8 with respect to the container body 1, and is provided on the inner side of the peripheral wall 9 so as to closely fit the cylindrical wall 3 of the container body 2. Installation is fixed.

  The container body 2 and the lid body 8 are assembled in a hinge-coupled state by engaging the both engagement protrusions 15 and 17 of the lid body 8 with the both engagement recesses 6 and 7 of the container body 2. However, the assembly of the lid body 8 to the container body 2 is preferably performed in a state where the filling and storing of contents such as cosmetics to the container body 2 is completed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, with the hinge plate piece 12 in the state shown in the two-dot chain line, the lid body 8 is in the container body 2 and the locking protrusion 11 is locked in the sealing piece 11 in the sealed state. By assembling, the container body 2 and the lid 8 are fixedly held in a fixed assembling posture, and from this state, the hinge plate piece 12 portion shown in the two-dot chain line is illustrated with the hinge 13 as an axis. By oscillating and displacing toward the combined horizontal plate piece 5, both the engaging recesses 6 and 7 and the both engaging projecting pieces 15 and 17 are engaged by this oscillating displacement, so that the container body 2 and the lid body 8 are engaged. Achieve assembly.

  When the engagement recesses 6 and 7 and the engagement protrusions 15 and 17 are engaged with each other, the second engagement plate piece 16 has a structure that is divided into left and right parts, so that there is no illegal permanent deformation. In this case, it is possible to relatively easily perform strong bending and elastic deformation, and since the two engaging protrusions 15 and 17 are not opposed to each other in the vertical direction, Since the bending elastic deformation of the engagement plate pieces 14 and 16 is performed substantially independently without interfering with each other, the engagement between the engagement recesses 6 and 7 and the engagement protrusions 15 and 17 is as follows. It can be achieved relatively easily.

  The engaging lateral plate piece 5 is provided with a first engaging recess 6 and a second engaging recess 7 on the upper surface and the lower surface thereof. Since the recesses 7 are arranged so as to be shifted to the left and right without facing up and down, it can be said that the thickness of the engagement lateral plate piece 5 becomes extremely thin by providing both the engagement recesses 6 and 7. In addition, it is possible to prevent occurrence of an undesired decrease in mechanical strength of the engaging lateral plate piece 5 and to make the engaging recesses 6 and 7 deep enough to exhibit sufficient engaging strength.

  After the engaging recesses 6, 7 and the engaging protrusions 15, 17 are engaged and the lid body 8 is assembled and coupled to the container body 2, the lid body 8 is hinged 13 to the container body 2. The lid body 8 that is opened and rotated is abutted against the support protrusion 18 at a rotation angle position 180 degrees before and held at the rotation angle position (see FIG. 4 and FIG. 6).

  FIG. 9 shows an example of use in which the refill container 1 according to the present invention is detachably assembled in the compact container 20, and the refill container 1 is arranged side by side with the puff 24 together with the compact lid. 23 is hinged to a compact main body 21.

  The refill container 1 assembled in the compact main body 21 is assembled in such a direction that the lid body 8 is rotated and opened in the direction opposite to the side where the puff 24 is stored. On the upper surface portion of the side wall of the compact main body 21 on the rotational direction, a support slope 22 is formed to support and hold the lid body 8 that has been opened and rotated together with the support projection piece 18 alone. Yes.
