JP4536372B2 - Airtight compact - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an airtight compact and is intended to improve the usability of the compact.

  The compact generally has an internal space that can store cosmetics such as eye shadows, eye liners, and foundations together with applicators such as puffs. In particular, the contents prevent volatilization of volatile components and prevent moisture from entering. From the point of view, an inner lid is provided in the container body so that only the space containing the contents is kept airtight.

By the way, this type of conventional compact has a mechanism that presses the inner lid with a lid to increase the contact surface pressure against the container body to ensure high airtightness. When the engagement is released by turning or repelling the hook to open the lid body (see, for example, Patent Document 1), a large force must be applied to the hook piece. , Leaving the problem where it was not easy to use.

  An object of the present invention is to propose an easy-to-use hermetic compact that can open a lid with a relatively light pressure even when the inner lid is pressed strongly to enhance airtightness.

The present invention includes a container body having a compartment recess for storing contents, an inner lid that abuts the outer edge of the compartment recess and holds the inner space in an airtight state, and can swing on the container body via a pivot. An airtight compact with a lid to be held,
The container body has a hook that engages with the lid and maintains a sealed state, and is provided with a push button that allows the lid to be released by releasing the engagement with the slide with the press.
The hook has an engagement margin of 0.46 to 1.00 mm,
The inner lid is a hermetic compact characterized by having a seal member that contacts from a protruding end of the outer edge of the partition recess to the side wall .

  Moreover, it is desirable that the inner lid is provided with a seal member that comes into contact with the side wall from the protruding end of the outer edge of the partitioning recess.

  Since the push button is slid to disengage the hook, the lid can be opened with a relatively light pressure even when the lid is pressed against the container body with a strong force.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
FIGS. 1A and 1B are diagrams showing an embodiment of an airtight compact according to the present invention. FIG. 1A is a plan view (with a lid removed), and FIG. It is.

In the figure, 1 is a container body, 2 is a tray that is disposed in the container body 1 and forms a compartment recess for storing contents, and 3 is an inner lid that abuts the outer edge of the tray 2 and keeps its internal space in an airtight state. . The inner lid 3 is held by the container body 1 so as to be swingable via a pivot 3a.

  Reference numeral 4 denotes a lid body that is swingably held on the container body 1 via a pivot S. The lid 4 can press the inner lid 3 against the container body 1 in the closed state. Reference numeral 5 denotes a push button that is elastically supported by the container main body 1 and opens the lid 4, and 6 is a seal member that is provided on the inner lid 3 and contacts from the protruding end of the outer edge of the tray 2 to the side wall.

  The push button 5 has a hook 5 a that engages with the claw portion 4 a of the lid body 4 to maintain a sealed state, and the engagement by the hook 5 a is released by sliding along the arrow X accompanying the pressing. Opening is possible.

  The conventional type airtight compact also has a mechanism to release the engagement by hook by pressing the hook piece, but the hook is of a type that is rotated by pressing, and compared to release the engagement Needs a great deal of power. The airtight compact of the present invention is different from the conventional type in that the engagement by the hook 5a can be released simply by pressing and sliding the push button 5, and at this time, there is no push-up action by turning or repelling the hook. Power is not required.

  In the case of a conventional type airtight compact, the hook engagement allowance is about 0.3 to 0.45 mm in all cases, but in the present invention, it can be set to about 0.46 to 1.00 mm. This allows the lid 4 to be firmly attached to the container body 1 and held in a closed state.

  The sealing member 6 can be sealed by contacting only the outer edge of the receiving tray 2 and sealed from the protruding end to the side wall, so that higher sealing performance is ensured.

  Airtightness is high, and a compact that can be opened with a relatively soft touch (light press) can be provided.

It is the figure which showed embodiment of the airtight compact according to this invention, (a) is a top view, (b) is the figure which showed the side surface by the cross section.
