Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a slide-type cosmetic container having a cosmetic container.

As a slide-type cosmetic container having a cosmetic containing portion, for example, a container body comprising a plate having a cosmetic containing portion and a lid screwed to the rear end of the plate through a screw so that it can be freely opened and closed. is slidably stored in the frame, and in the closed state of the lid, the annular packing provided on the upper peripheral edge of the dish and the cylindrical rib formed on the lower peripheral edge of the lid are in contact with each other. A compact container is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this slide-type compact container, fixing protrusions are formed on the inner surfaces of the left and right side walls of the frame body at front and rear positions separated from each other, and fixing protrusions are formed on the outer surfaces of the left and right side walls of the dish body at front and rear positions separated from each other. In the final stage of pushing the container body into the frame, the upper surface of the fixing projection of the frame and the lower surface of the fixing projection of the plate are brought into contact with each other and slid, thereby pushing up the plate and securing the annular packing. and the cylindrical rib are pressed against each other.

Japanese Patent No. 5723565

In the slide-type compact container, the projections for fixing the frame and the projections for fixing the disk, which are brought into contact and slide in order to push up the disk and press the annular packing against the cylindrical rib, are are formed at positions spaced apart in the front and rear of the left and right side walls of the frame and the plate. Therefore, in the vicinity of the fixing projection of the frame and the fixing projection of the plate, a high pressure contact force is obtained, but the pressure contact force weakens as the distance from the fixing projection of the frame and the fixing projection of the plate increases. It is difficult to uniformly press the annular packing and the cylindrical rib, and there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain high airtightness.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a slide-type cosmetic container capable of realizing a highly airtight cosmetic container in a closed state. .

A slide-type cosmetic container according to the present invention is a slide-type cosmetic container in which a container body for storing cosmetics is provided so as to be slidable in a sliding direction with respect to a storage case capable of storing the container body, The storage case includes a top plate portion covering at least the upper surface of the container body stored therein, and a bottom surface of the top plate portion that is substantially the same as the bottom surface of the top plate portion except for a slight outer peripheral portion. A mirror or a smooth metal plate provided to form a flat surface, and case side plate portions vertically provided from both ends of the top plate portion in a direction intersecting the sliding direction, the container main body comprising: a cosmetic containing portion recessed downward; an annular packing made of an elastic member surrounding the cosmetic containing portion; Either one of the case side plate portion and the container side wall portion is provided with a slide rail projecting to the other side, and the other is provided with the slide rail when the container body slides. A slide groove to be engaged is provided, and the slide rail is configured such that when the annular packing is pressed and compressed by the smooth plate material and the container body is accommodated in the storage case, the annular packing is aligned with the sliding groove. The sliding rails and the sliding grooves engage with the sliding grooves so as to be in uniform contact with the smooth plate material, and the sliding rails and the sliding grooves are arranged from the maximum drawn-out position side where the container body is most drawn out of the storage case by sliding movement. It has an inclination rising toward the storage position side stored in the storage case, the slide rail is provided over the area where the annular packing is provided in the slide direction, and the slide rail is provided in the annular When the container body is accommodated in the storage case with the packing pressed against the smooth plate member, the annular packing is engaged with the slide groove over the entire length, and the annular packing is formed on the peripheral wall portion surrounding the cosmetic container . It is provided in an annular recess provided outside along the peripheral wall portion so as to protrude upward from the peripheral wall portion, and in a state in which the container body is stored in the storage case, the peripheral wall portion is smooth. A space surrounded by the annular packing is compressed so as to maintain airtightness, and the amount of compression decreases as the container body is pulled out. .

The container body and the storage case are characterized by being provided with a locking mechanism that engages with each other in a storage state in which the container body is stored in the storage case to maintain the storage state.

In the slide-type cosmetic container according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the airtightness of the cosmetic container in the closed state while ensuring comfortable opening/closing operability. Specifically, the slide rails and the slide grooves that are engaged when the container body slides are engaged in a wide range when the container main body slides. The container body can always be slid in a stable state. Thereby, comfortable opening/closing operability can be ensured. Since the slide rail and the slide groove engage over the area where the annular packing is provided in the housed state of the container body in which the annular packing is compressed, the reaction force of the compressed annular packing is absorbed. It can be received by the entire slide rail. Therefore, the annular packing is evenly compressed over its entirety, and the entire annular packing comes into uniform contact with the top plate, thereby ensuring high airtightness in the space surrounded by the annular packing. can. Therefore, in the closed state, the airtightness of the cosmetic container can be improved. The slide rails and the slide grooves have an inclination that rises from the maximum draw-out position where the container body is most drawn out of the storage case by sliding movement toward the storage position where the container body is stored in the storage case. , the distance between the container body and the top plate portion is the closest at the storage position. For this reason, the annular packing is reliably compressed in the retracted position, and the compression is gradually weakened when the packing is pulled out, thereby reducing the user's load of opening the cosmetic container. Wear of the packing can be suppressed.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A preferred embodiment of a slide-type cosmetic container according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. A slide-type cosmetic container (hereinafter referred to simply as a cosmetic container) 1 of the present embodiment includes a container body 2 in which cosmetics are stored and which is slidably provided, and a storage container in which the container body 2 is slidably accommodated. When the container main body 2 is stored in the storage case 3, the container body 2 has a substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped shape in which the height is lower than the width and depth.

In the following description, when the cosmetic container 1 is placed flat in a ready-to-use state, the vertical direction is the vertical direction, the direction in which the container body 2 slides is the depth direction, and the direction perpendicular to the depth direction. is shown as the width direction. Each part of the cosmetic container 1 and each member constituting the cosmetic container 1 can be viewed in the vertical direction, the depth direction, and the width direction on the basis of the state in which the cosmetic container 1 is laid flat for use. The direction is specified and explained. In addition, in the sliding direction in which the container body 2 slides, the side from which the container body 2 is pulled out is defined as the front side, and the side where the container body 2 is housed is defined as the back side.

The storage case 3 includes a substantially rectangular plate-shaped top plate portion 3a that forms the upper surface of the cosmetic container 1 and covers the upper side of the container body 2, and case side plate portions 3b that extend vertically from both ends of the top plate portion 3a in the width direction. and a rear wall portion 3c that connects the rear side ends of the top plate portion 3a and the two case side plate portions 3b. A smooth plate member 4 such as a mirror or a metal plate is attached to the lower surface of the top plate portion 3a with a double-faced tape over almost the entire surface except for the outer peripheral portion. The lower surface of the top plate portion 3a and the lower surface of the smooth plate member 4 are formed so as to form substantially the same plane. Here, the smooth plate material 4 may be fixed by caulking or the like. Also, the rear wall portion 3c may not necessarily be provided.

The case side plate portion 3b is provided with slide rails 3d protruding inward facing each other. The slide rail 3d is inclined so as to become higher from the front side of the storage case 3 toward the back side. Further, an inner protrusion 3e that further protrudes inward is provided on the frontmost side of the slide rail 3d. Details of the slide rail 3d and the inner projection 3e will be described later.

The container body 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in a plan view. The container main body 2 is provided with a cosmetic containing portion 2a in which a cosmetic is contained in a depression at substantially the center in the depth direction and the width direction. The cosmetic container 2a has a substantially rectangular shape with arc-shaped corners as a whole, and the inside thereof is partitioned into three regions.

An annular concave portion 2c is provided on the outer periphery of the cosmetic container 2a along the peripheral wall 2b surrounding the cosmetic container 2a via the peripheral wall 2b. An annular packing 5 made of an elastic member is provided in the concave portion 2c so as to protrude upward from the peripheral wall portion 2b. Here, in the depth direction, which is the sliding direction, the area S where the annular packing 5 is provided extends from the front side portion 5a of the annular packing 5 positioned on the front side of the cosmetic container 2a to the cosmetic container 2a. It corresponds to the area up to the back side portion 5b of the annular packing 5 positioned on the back side of 2a.

A projecting portion 2 d protruding upward is provided over the entire width of the container body 2 at the front end of the container body 2 . The top of the protrusion 2d and the top of the peripheral wall 2b are substantially the same height, and are slightly higher than the other upper surface 2e of the container body 2. As shown in FIG.

The container side wall portion 2f of the container body 2 is provided with a slide groove 2g recessed inward in the width direction. The width of the slide groove 2g in the height direction is slightly wider than the width of the slide rail 3d and the inner protrusion 3e provided in the storage case 3 in the height direction. Similarly to the slide rails 3d of the storage case 3, the slide grooves 2g are also inclined so as to rise from the front side of the container body 2 toward the back side thereof. The inclination angle of the slide groove 2g is the same as the inclination angle of the slide rail 3d.

The slide groove 2g is provided in almost the entire area of the container side wall portion 2f, leaving a slight edge portion 2h on the front side of the container side wall portion 2f. In the slide groove 2g, the grooves are arranged at both the position spaced from the edge 2h and the end on the far side at approximately the same interval as the width in the depth direction of the inner projection 3e provided in the storage case 3. In-groove projections 2i and 2j projecting outward in the width direction are provided respectively. The protrusions 2i and 2j in the grooves have substantially the same protrusion amount as the inner protrusion 3e provided in the storage case 3 protrudes from the slide rail 3d. The in-groove projection 2i on the near side has an arcuate tip, and the in-groove projection 2j on the far side has a flat surface 2k on the near side substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the slide groove 2g.

The slide rail 3d provided in the storage case 3 is provided from the front end of the storage case 3 by the width of the edge 2h of the container body 2 in the depth direction. Therefore, when the container body 2 is stored in the storage case 3, the edges 2h of the container body 2 are brought into contact with the sliding rails 3d and the inner projections 3e of the storage case 3 on the front side. The in-groove protrusion 2 i on the front side is arranged on the far side of the inner protrusion 3 e of the storage case 3 . At this time, the front end 3f of the storage case 3 and the front surface 2l of the container body 2 form substantially the same plane.

The slide rail 3 d is provided over a region S where the annular packing 5 is provided when the container body 2 is stored in the storage case 3 . For this reason, the storage case 3 has a region on the back side where the slide rail 3d is not provided. When the container body 2 is stored in the storage case 3, the in-groove protrusion 2j on the inner side of the container body 2 is arranged in the region where the slide rail 3d is not provided.

In the cosmetic container 1, when the container main body 2 is stored in the storage case 3, the annular packing 5 provided outside the cosmetic container 2a is pressed by the smooth plate member 4, and the annular packing 5 is compressed. It is held as it is. In this state, the cosmetic container 1 maintains high airtightness in the space surrounded by the annular packing 5 between the cosmetic containing portion 2a provided inside the annular packing 5 and the smooth plate member 4. It is closed. At this time, the peripheral wall portion 2b and the projection portion 2d have a slight gap with the top plate portion 3a so that the annular packing 5 is reliably compressed.

When the container body 2 is housed in the storage case 3, the inner protrusion 3e of the storage case 3 is held between the edge 2h of the container body 2 and the in-groove protrusion 2i on the front side, and the container body 2 is held. is restricted from sliding in the depth direction. The position of the container body 2 in the housed state corresponds to the housed position. In addition, the inner projection 3e of the storage case 3, the edge 2h of the container body 2, and the in-groove projection 2i on the front side correspond to the lock mechanism of the cosmetic container 1. As shown in FIG.

When the container main body 2 is pulled forward from the storage case 3 when opening the cosmetic storage portion 2 a of the cosmetic container 1 , the protrusions 2 i provided in the container main body 2 on the front side in the grooves move inside the storage case 3 . The container main body 2 is pulled out while the projection 2i in the groove on the near side slides on the surface of the inner projection 3e facing the container main body 2, riding on the projection 3e. At this time, since the in-groove projection 2i must run over the inner projection 3e, a predetermined operating force or more is required in order to pull out the container body 2. Therefore, the storage case 3 can be pulled out naturally without being operated. In addition, the in-groove projection 2i slides on the inner projection 3e to prevent the container body 2 from being pulled out forcefully.

Further, when the container body 2 is pulled out from the storage case 3, the slide rail 3d provided in the storage case 3 and inclined so as to rise from the front side to the back side is provided on the container body 2 and placed on the front side. It is guided by being engaged with the slide groove 2g which is inclined so as to become higher toward the inner side. Accordingly, as the container body 2 is pulled out, the container body 2 also moves in a direction away from the top plate portion 3a and the smooth plate member 4, that is, downward. Therefore, the amount of compression of the annular packing 5 decreases as the container body 2 is pulled out.

In the cosmetic container 1, both the slide groove 2g of the container body 2 and the slide rail 3d of the storage case 3 are provided over substantially the entire length of the container body 2 in the depth direction. As a result, when the container body 2 is pulled out from the storage case 3, the container body 2 is pulled out while the slide groove 2g and the slide rail 3d are engaged over a longer range.

When the container body 2 is pulled out from the storage case 3, the flat surface 2k of the inner groove projection 2j abuts against the inner projection 3e of the storage case 3, thereby restricting the sliding movement in the pulling direction. This state is the maximum drawn state in which the container body 2 is drawn out of the storage case 3 to the maximum extent, and the position of the container body 2 in the maximum drawn state corresponds to the open position.

Further, when the container body 2 in the maximum drawn-out state is stored in the storage case 3 , the container body 2 is pushed toward the back side of the storage case 3 . At this time, the container body 2 is guided by the slide groove 2g engaged with the slide rail 3d, and gradually slides toward the back along the inclination of the slide groove 2g and the slide rail 3d. It rises and moves toward the top plate portion 3 a and the smooth plate member 4 .

The load on the container body 2 that slides to the back side increases when the protrusion 2i in the groove on the front side rides on the inner protrusion 3e of the storage case 3, and when the user presses with a greater operating force, the container body 2 slides toward the front. The in-groove projection 2i on the side slides on the surface of the inner projection 3e facing the container body 2 and slides.

The load on the container body 2 is reduced when the in-groove projection 2i on the front side climbs over the inner projection 3e and is arranged on the inner side of the inner projection 3e, and the slide rail 3d of the storage case 3 and the inner projection The container body 2 is stored in the storage case 3 by abutting the edge 2h of the container body 2 on the front end of the container body 3e. At this time, the annular packing 5 provided on the outer side of the cosmetic container 2a is most pressed against the smooth plate member 4, and the annular packing 5 is held in a compressed state. By reducing the load and restricting the sliding movement of the container body 2 toward the back side, the user recognizes that the cosmetic container 2a is sealed.

According to the slide-type cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment, the slide rails 3d and the slide grooves 2g, which are engaged when the container body 2 slides, are provided over substantially the entire length of the container body 2. Since the slide rails 3d and the slide grooves 2g are engaged in a wider range when sliding, the container body 2 can always be slid in a stable state. Thereby, comfortable opening/closing operability can be ensured. Further, the slide rail 3d and the slide groove 2g engage over the entire area S where the annular packing 5 is provided in the depth direction when the container body 2 is housed with the annular packing 5 compressed. Therefore, the reaction force with which the annular packing 5 is compressed can be received by the entire slide rail 3d. For this reason, the annular packing 5 is uniformly compressed over its entirety, and the entire annular packing 5 comes into uniform contact with the top plate portion 3a (smooth plate member 4). , high airtightness can be secured. Therefore, in the closed state, the airtightness of the cosmetic container 2a can be improved.

Further, the slide rail 3d and the slide groove 2g rise from the maximum draw-out position where the container body 2 is most drawn out of the storage case 3 by sliding movement toward the storage position where the container body 2 is stored in the storage case 3. Because of the inclination, the space between the container body 2 and the top plate portion 3a and the smooth plate member 4 is the closest in the storage position. For this reason, the annular packing 5 is reliably compressed at the retracted position, and the compression is gradually weakened when the packing is pulled out, reducing the user's load of opening the cosmetic container 1, resulting in excellent operability. At the same time, wear of the annular packing 5 can be suppressed.

In addition, the slide rail 3d and the slide groove 2g are engaged with each other when the container body 2 is stored in the storage case 3, and the inner projection 3e forms a lock mechanism that maintains the stored state. Since the edge portion 2h and the in-groove projection 2i on the front side are provided, a higher airtightness can be maintained in the space surrounded by the annular packing 5 between the cosmetic containing portion 2a and the smooth plate member 4. can be done.

Moreover, the above embodiments are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention, and are not intended to limit and interpret the present invention. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
