BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a powder container that can be replenished in a necessary amount at any time, has good operability when replenishing powder, and is easy to use in use.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, this type of powder container is removably fitted with a perforated middle dish with a small hole for taking out the powder into the opening of the container body that stores the powder, and the puff is pressed against the perforated medium dish By tilting the container body, etc., the powder that spills from the small hole is attached to the puff.
[0003]
Conventionally, in such a powder container, in consideration of the convenience of powder replenishment operation, the refill powder is packed in a simple disposable container that is sealed with a peelable sheet. The refill from which the sheet has been peeled is stored in the container body from which the perforated middle dish has been removed, and the perforated middle dish is attached again, and the refilling operation is performed to replenish the powder. It is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional powder container, it is necessary to replenish the powder by exchanging the refill, and it is not possible to replenish the necessary amount at any time, and as a result, it is easy to use as a powder container. There was a problem that it was not so good.
[0006]
Specifically, since the powder is replenished by replacing the refill, it is useless to replace the refill while the powder is still in the middle. Will not be replaced. If you try to use up the powder to the end, the amount of powder can not be attached to the puff by tilting the container body as the contents decrease, and the container body can be turned upside down, There was a problem that it was necessary to shake the container body, and inconvenient aspects could be seen in use.
[0007]
Also, with the above conventional powder container, it can be removed because the powder leaks from between the opening of the container body and the perforated middle dish attached to it, and the outer periphery of the powder container is soiled. Even so, the perforated pan is tightly fitted to the opening to prevent powder leakage, and for this reason, it is difficult to remove the perforated pan from the container body. There was also a problem that it was very difficult.
[0008]
The present invention was devised in view of the above-described conventional problems, and can be replenished only when necessary at any time, and also has good operability when replenishing powder, and in use. The object is to provide a powder container that is easy to use.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a powder container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, in the powder container 1 according to the present embodiment, a screw portion 3 to which the lid 2 is screwed is formed at the upper portion of the outer peripheral surface 4, and the inner peripheral surface 6 is formed on the bottom plate 5. The container main body 8 that stores the powder P in the enclosed storage space 7 and a synthetic resin middle dish 10 provided in the opening 9 defined by the inner peripheral edge of the upper end of the container main body 8 are mainly configured. In the illustrated example, the container main body 8 and the inner dish 10 both have a planar outer contour formed in a circular shape.
[0014]
The intermediate dish 10 is integrally formed by projecting outward along the circumferential direction to the bottom 11, the peripheral wall 12 formed by integrally raising the outer periphery of the bottom 11 and the upper end of the peripheral wall 12. Formed of a packing 13 provided on the lid 2 and a flange portion 14 which is in liquid-tight contact, and surrounded by the bottom portion 11 and the peripheral wall portion 12, a cosmetic tool T such as a puff. A recess 15 for taking out and operating the powder P is formed.
[0015]
In the state where the flange portion 14 is locked to the upper end of the container main body 8, the inner tray 10 is moved upward to the opening 9 of the container main body 8 by the peripheral wall portion 12 being pressed against the inner peripheral surface 6 of the container main body 8. It is fitted so that it can be detached. In particular, the peripheral wall portion 12 and the inner peripheral surface 6 are tightly pressed against each other in order to prevent the powder P from leaking out between the inner tray 10 and the opening 9.
[0016]
A circular replenishment opening 16 that opens the storage space 7 to the outside so as to replenish the powder P is formed at the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10 by a substantially annular slit 18 formed at the center thereof. At the same time, an inner lid 17 is formed to open and close the refill opening 16 so that the refill opening 16 can be opened and closed. Fitted. The inner lid 17 includes a disc portion 17a along the replenishment opening 16 and an arm portion 17b formed to protrude outward from the disc portion 17a. The arm portion 17b is formed between a pair of linear slits 19 formed from the replenishment opening 16 toward the peripheral wall portion 12 of the inner tray 10 in parallel with each other. In particular, the inner lid 17 is flush with the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10, thereby flattening or smoothing the recess 15. A large number of small holes 20 are formed in the disc portion 17a of the inner lid 17 so as to penetrate the disc portion 17a and take out the powder P in the storage space 7 into the recess 15.
[0017]
One end of the arm portion 17 b of the inner lid 17 is integrally coupled to the disc portion 17 a and the other end is integrally coupled to the inner tray 10 and the hinge 21 so as to be foldable. In this embodiment, the hinge 21 is composed of a downward V-shaped groove formed toward the storage space 7 between the arm portion 17b and the inner tray 10, and is bent so as to widen the V-shaped groove. Thus, the inner lid 17 is erected on the inner tray 10. As a result, the inner lid 17 is integrally formed on the inner tray 10 so as to be rotatable via the arm portion 17b.
[0018]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, an upward tapered surface 22 is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the replenishment opening 16 and gradually protrudes inward into the replenishment opening 16 as it goes downward. Is formed with a downward tapered surface 23 that faces and is locked to the upward tapered surface 22, and when the replenishment opening 16 is closed by the inner lid 17 by these tapered surfaces 22, 23, the inner lid 17 is for replenishment. It is designed not to be dropped under the opening 16.
[0019]
Further, an operation piece 24 that forms a gap G that allows the inner lid 17 to be detached is formed between the bottom portion 11 of the inner tray 10 and the inner lid 17. A pair of cuts 25 are formed in the bottom 11 of the intermediate dish 10 on the opposite side of the arm 17b from the replenishment opening 16 toward the peripheral wall 12 in parallel with each other. In between, it is formed in the shape of a cantilever which is flush with the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10 and can be elastically deformed. The operation piece 24 is arranged around the inner lid 17 between the inner tray 10 and the inner lid 17 that is fitted flush with the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10 in the replenishment opening 16 and has no clues. The space G is elastically deformed toward the storage space 7 by being pushed in from the surface side of the bottom portion 11 to form a gap G.
[0020]
The operation piece 24 is formed so as to be flush with the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10, so that the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10 is flattened or smoothed like the inner lid 17. The inner lid 17 protrudes outward from the inner lid 17 to prevent the inner lid 17 from being inadvertently opened. Is formed.
[0021]
Next, the effect | action of the powder container 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated. When the powder P is attached to a cosmetic tool T such as a puff, the container body 8 is tilted while the cosmetic tool T is pressed against the small hole 20, as in the prior art, so that the small hole 20 moves into the recess 15. The spilled powder P is adhered to the cosmetic tool T. When the powder P is replenished to the storage space 7 in the container main body 8 when the amount is reduced due to use, the inner lid 17 is opened and the replenishment opening 16 is opened.
[0022]
That is, as shown in FIG. 4, if the operation piece 24 is operated and pushed down below the locking projection 26, it is fitted to the replenishment opening 16 in a state flush with the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10. A gap G can be formed between the inner lid 17 and the inner tray 10, and can be detached from the replenishment opening 16 by lifting the inner lid 17 with a finger or the like from the gap G. If the inner lid 17 is pulled up as it is, the arm portion 17b rises through the hinge 21 as shown in FIG. Thereby, the replenishment opening 16 is largely opened, and the powder P can be replenished into the storage space 7 from the opened replenishment opening 16.
[0023]
When the inner lid 17 once opened is closed, the elastically deformable operation piece 24 is restored and comes into contact with the locking projection 26 of the inner lid 17, so that the closing inner lid 17 is slightly replenished. It can be restrained above the opening 16 to maintain its detached state, and the inner lid 17 can be easily opened again.
[0024]
On the other hand, when closing the replenishment opening 16, if the inner lid 17 is pushed toward the replenishment opening 16, the inner lid 17 is moved after its locking projection 26 gets over the upward tapered surface 22 of the replenishment opening 16. The downward taper surface 23 is locked to the upward taper surface 22, so that the inner lid 17 is not dropped below the replenishment opening 16 and is replenished with the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10. The opening 16 is fitted and sealed. In addition, when opening the opening part 9 of the container main body 8 as needed, what is necessary is just to pull up the inner tray 10 as it is, and to detach | leave from the opening part 9 as it is.
[0025]
As described above, the powder container 1 according to this embodiment has the replenishment opening 16 formed in the inner dish 10 and is opened and closed by the inner lid 17 formed integrally with the inner dish 10. The powder P can be replenished as much as necessary at any time without having to remove the inner tray 10 from the opening 9. In particular, at this time, the powder P can be replenished without removing the inner tray 10 from the opening 9 of the container body 8, and the operability thereof is excellent, and the inner tray 10 can be maintained in a state of being tightly attached to the opening 9. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent powder leakage.
[0026]
Moreover, since the powder P can be replenished at any time, it is not necessary to use up the contents as in the case of using a refill, and the necessary amount can be obtained by replenishing an appropriate amount of the powder P. The powder P can be easily attached to a cosmetic tool T such as a puff, which is excellent in usability.
[0027]
Further, not only the replenishment opening 16 but also the inner lid 17 and the operation piece 24 are integrally formed in the inner tray 10 by the slits 18 and 19 and the notches 25, so that the number of parts and the number of assembly steps are also increased. Less cost, low cost and high productivity.
[0028]
Further, since the inner lid 17 and the operation piece 24 are formed flush with the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10 by the slits 18 and 19 and the notches 24, the powder P taken out from the small holes 20 is applied to a cosmetic tool T such as a puff. Can adhere firmly without unevenness. That is, when the inner lid 17 and the operation piece 24 are arranged in the recess 15 as they are, the operation of attaching the powder P by the cosmetic tool T being caught on the inner lid 17 and the operation piece 24 is hindered. There is a possibility that the powder P adheres abundantly around the operation piece 24 and the appearance is deteriorated. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the above-described problem can be prevented by forming the inner lid 17 and the operation piece 24 on the surface of the bottom 11 of the inner tray 10 that defines the recess 15.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
In short, in the powder container according to the present invention, the powder can be replenished at any time and at any time by removing the inner lid from the replenishment opening and opening it. Especially at this time, powder can be replenished without removing the inner tray from the opening of the container body, and the operability is excellent, and the inner tray can be kept tightly attached to the opening so that powder leakage is also ensured. Can be prevented. And since powder can be replenished at any time, it will not be forced to use up the contents as with refills. The powder can be easily attached to a cosmetic such as a puff, and good usability can be guaranteed.
