Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a compact container.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Conventionally, compact containers for cosmetics have had a recess formed in the main body and filled with cosmetics, but this was uneconomical as the entire container had to be replaced with a new one when the cosmetics were consumed. It was hot. Therefore, many devices use a metal or resin drum filled with cosmetics separately from the main body, and are replaced with a new drum when the cosmetics run out.

However, in conventional compact containers with replaceable drums, the drum is fixed to the inner bottom of the main body with adhesive such as glue, and when replacing the drum with a new one, a pin or other tool is inserted into the hole drilled in the bottom of the main body. The structure was such that the ingredients were inserted and the drum was pushed out. Therefore, there was a problem that changing the plate was troublesome and took time and effort. As a countermeasure to this, some devices have fixed magnet pieces to the bottom of the main body and used magnetic force to attract the drum, but this makes the structure more complicated and the drum needs to be made of a magnetic material with a heavy specific gravity. There was a problem that the compact container was unnecessarily heavy, and it was not necessarily practical.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention was devised to solve the problems mentioned above, and its purpose is to make it possible to replace the drum and securely fix the drum with extremely simple operations, and to make it possible to easily place the drum. To provide a practical drum-replaceable compact container which does not cause any trouble even if the cosmetic material is filled in a drum with a poor swell or is filled with cosmetics.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a main body in which a protrusion for preventing horizontal displacement of the drum is provided on the inner bottom of the recessed part, a lid body pivotally attached to the main body, a drum filled with cosmetics, and a drum diameter. It has a middle frame that has a smaller window hole and is to be slid along the upper edge of the main body, and the terminal part becomes a stepped groove via a downwardly inclined groove in a set of parallel walls defining a recessed part of the main body. On the other hand, a protrusion that fits into the guide groove is provided on the lower surface of the inner frame, and the stepped groove is at a level such that the inner frame comes into contact with the upper edge of the main body when the protrusion is seated therein. The configuration is as follows.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 6 show an embodiment of the compact container according to the present invention, and the compact container according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, has a main body 1, a lid body 2, It consists of a drum 3 made of aluminum or synthetic resin that is independent of the main body 1, and a middle frame 4 that is slidably attached to the main body 1.

The main body 1 has a notch 5 formed on the rear side, and the lid 2 has a leg piece 6 protruding from the notch 5, and a half part of the leg piece 6 in the height direction and both sides of the notch are formed in a protruding manner. connected by a pivot. Further, a locking piece 7 is provided on the front side of the main body 1, and a hook piece 7' is provided on the lid body 2, so that the main body 1 can be opened and closed freely.

The main body 1 is provided with a recessed portion 8, and a protrusion 9 is integrally formed at the bottom of the recessed portion 8 at a level lower than the height of the drum 3 to prevent the drum 3 from shifting back and forth and left and right. The protrusion 9 may have a closed contour (ring), but from the viewpoint of attaching and detaching the drum 3, it is preferable that the protrusion 9 is divided into several parts in the circumferential direction as shown in the figure.

The middle frame 4 consists of a face plate having a shape that matches the outline of the main body 1, and a window hole 10 having a size equal to or slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the drum 3 is formed inside, leaving the peripheral edge. The lower peripheral edge 11 of the window hole can come into light contact with the drum lip 12.

Further, at least one pair of parallel walls 13, 13 are formed on the surrounding wall of the recessed portion 8 of the main body 1, and guide grooves 14, 14 are formed in these parallel walls 13, 13. On the other hand, protrusions 15, 15 that fit into the guide grooves 14, 14 are provided on the lower surface of the middle frame 4.
are integrally formed, and the protrusions 15, 15 and the guide groove 1
4 and 14, the middle frame 4 is slidable along the main body 1. In the illustrated example, protrusion 1
5 and 15 are configured as protrusions having an L-shaped cross section, but it goes without saying that they may also be pins or shaft pieces.

On the lower surface of the middle frame 4, protuberances 16, 1, which are lower in height than the protrusions 15, 15, are provided at the front and rear portions of the protrusions 15, 15.
6' is formed, and the stop position is regulated by coming into contact with the inner walls of the main body in the front and rear directions in the sliding direction.

The present invention is not limited to the case where the number of drums 3 is one. FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the drum is divided into a plurality of parts, such as eye shadow, cheek, etc. In this case, each drum 3a,
Protrusions 9, 9 are formed in the recessed part 8 corresponding to the arrangement of the drums 3b, and window holes 10, 10 are formed in the middle frame 4 to match the shape and size of the drums 3a, 3b.

FIG. 6 shows the most important feature of the present invention. That is, the drum 3 normally has the main body recess 8
The height relationship is approximately consistent with that of . Therefore, there is no problem if the cosmetic is filled at the same level as the top edge of the drum or below, but if the cosmetic is filled so that it rises above the top edge of the drum, when the middle frame 4 slides, there is no problem. The edge of the drum 3 may be rubbed, thereby causing the cosmetics to wear off and stain the surrounding area, or when a plurality of drums are arranged, cosmetics of different colors or different types may be mixed together.

As a countermeasure against this, the present invention forms the guide groove 14 in such a relationship that the middle frame 4 floats above the upper edge 17 of the main body 1 until the tip of the middle frame 4 reaches near the tip of the main body 1, and the guide groove Slanted groove 14 at the rear end of 14
A stepped groove 150 is formed through the middle frame 4, and the intermediate frame 4 is brought into contact with the upper edge 17 of the main body 1 by fitting into the stepped groove 150 at the final stage of sliding. In this case, a pin type protrusion is used as the protrusion 15, or a pin-shaped second protrusion is provided in front of the protrusion.

[Effect of the embodiment]

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, in order to attach the drum 3 filled with the cosmetic A, the inner frame 4 is pressed in the horizontal direction.
5 and 15 slide on the guide grooves 14 and 14, and the middle frame 4 moves along the upper edge of the main body 1.

This opens the main body 1, so the drum 3
If the inner frame 4 is inserted between the protrusions 9 and 9 and the inner frame 4 is slid again, the recessed part 8 of the main body 1 is closed, and
The window hole 10 of the middle frame 4 matches the drum 3, and the window hole 10
The lower peripheral edge of the drum 3 contacts the upper edge of the drum 3.

The drum 3 is kept in a stable fixed state because the protrusions 9, 9 in the horizontal direction and the middle frame 4 suppress movement in the vertical direction, and the middle frame 4 covers the upper edge of the drum 3, so the appearance is also good. good.

When the cosmetic A is used up and you want to replace it with a new drum, open the main body 1 by sliding the middle frame 4 as shown in Fig. 5, and take out the old drum placed in the recessed part 8. All that is required is to attach a new drum and slide the middle frame 4 again, and these operations are extremely simple as they do not require any jigs.

Furthermore, the guide grooves 14, 14 are not simple straight grooves, but have a lower level step groove 150 at each end via an inclined groove 40, and the protrusions 15 of the middle frame 4
Since the middle frame 4 is guided by the high-level guide grooves 14, 14 until it reaches near the tip of the main body 1, the middle frame 4 slides in a state that is raised above the upper edge 17 of the main body, as shown in FIG. , Finally, the protrusion 15 descends the inclined groove 40 and enters the step groove 150, causing the middle frame 4 to sink, and the upper edge 17 of the main body as shown in the imaginary line in FIG.
It comes in close contact with the. Therefore, the middle frame 4 does not rub against the upper edge of the drum 3, and troubles such as the cosmetic being rubbed off and the drum 3 inadvertently tilting due to this do not occur.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention described above, in the drum-replaceable compact container, the main body 1 is provided with a protrusion 9 for preventing the drum from shifting in the horizontal direction at the inner bottom of the recessed part.
, a lid body 2 pivotally attached to the main body 1, a drum 3 filled with cosmetics, and an inner frame 4 having a window hole smaller than the diameter of the drum and to be slid along the upper edge of the main body. The drum 3 can be firmly fixed by simply placing the drum 3 in the recessed part 8 and sliding the middle frame 4, and the drum 3 can also be taken out very easily.

Moreover, a pair of parallel walls 13, 13 defining the recessed portion 8 of the main body 1 has a downwardly inclined groove 140 at the end thereof.
Guide grooves 14, 14 which become step grooves 150, 150 are formed through the guide grooves 150, 150, while protrusions 15, 15 which fit into the guide grooves 14, 14 are provided on the lower surface of the middle frame 4, and the step grooves 150, 150 Add 1 stump to this
Since the middle frame 4 is provided at a level where it comes into contact with the upper edge 17 of the main body 1 when the parts 5 and 15 are retracted, the middle frame 4 does not float above the upper edge 17 of the main body 1 until it reaches near the tip of the main body 1. The upper edge of the main body 17
It comes into tight contact with the Therefore, even if the drum 3 is tilted or filled with cosmetics in a slightly bulging manner, the inner frame 4 will not get caught on the drum, the cosmetics will not be cut off, or the cosmetics will not be discolored or different. By mixing these, the problem of rusting does not occur, and an excellent effect can be obtained in that the drum 3 can be fixed without wobbling.
