The compact with a lighting device by the present applicant shown in FIG. 8 includes an upper case 53 with a translucent material 52 attached to the inner surface of the case with a mirror to diffuse the light of the illumination lamp, and an automatic opening/closing of the upper case 53. It has a compact main body 51 consisting of a lower case 55 equipped with an automatic switch 54 that turns on and off the illumination lamp automatically.
A battery 56 (mercury battery) is installed in the lower case 55 of the device, and a miniature light bulb 58 with a reflective material 57 attached to the translucent material portion 52 in the upper case 53 is installed. The automatic switch 54 is connected by a cord 59, and the miniature light bulb 58 is automatically turned on and off by opening and closing the upper and lower cases 53 and 55.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, the above-mentioned compact with lighting equipment,
Since the miniature light bulb 58 turns on and off when the compact is opened and closed, the miniature bulb 58 turns on and off regardless of the surrounding brightness, causing the battery 56 to be consumed faster. Furthermore, since there is only one miniature light bulb 58, the entire face cannot be illuminated, resulting in shadows. Furthermore, since the battery 56 and the automatic switch 54 are housed in the lower case 55 in which various cosmetics are housed, it is unreasonable in terms of space, and the cord 59 is exposed near the opening/closing device, resulting in an inferior design. was. That is, the compact with lighting device of the present invention is disclosed in the above-mentioned Utility Model Application No.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to further improve the operability, economy, and design of the compact with lighting device shown in No. 149956.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was developed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the compact body has a mirror and a transparent material attached to the periphery of the mirror to transmit the light of a plurality of illumination lamps in the left and right directions. In a compact with a lighting device, which consists of an upper case and a lower case that opens and closes the upper case and stores various cosmetics, the lighting lamp flashes automatically when the upper and lower cases are opened and closed, wherein the upper case is a case part. An automatic switch is attached to the lid, and a battery and a manual switch are housed in the upper case. It consists of a rotating body that is rotated by manual operation, and an electrode plate that has one end connected to a cord connected to a battery and the other end attached to the rotating body.

[Effect]

According to the above-mentioned compact with a lighting device, when the compact is opened, an automatic switch turns on and lights up multiple lighting lamps, and the light is dispersed by the translucent material, covering the entire face without creating shadows. You can apply makeup by projecting the image, and when the surroundings are bright and compact lighting is not needed, the lighting lamp can be turned off with a manual switch. Since the upper case has a double structure divided into a lid part and a case part, the upper case is opened to operate manual switches and to replace and adjust consumables.

Furthermore, since the illumination lamp 12 has a lens installed inside it instead of the light-transmitting material, the illumination lamp 12 can directly diffuse the illumination light from the illumination lamp through its own lens.
