[0004]

According to the recent waste disposal situation, there is a demand for a separation process between synthetic resin and metal or glass. In a conventional compact container, consideration has to be given to separating a mirror. It is extremely difficult to tear off the mirror that has not been paid and the back surface of which is fixed perfectly, and even if it can be removed, it takes time and effort. In particular, since the mirror in the conventional container has a concave portion having substantially the same shape as the mirror on the fixing surface, and is often fitted and fixed therein,
Extra removal becomes difficult. Further, in the case where the periphery is fused, the frame body has the same thickness as the container body, and the contact surface is fused to the solid, so that the separation becomes more difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and enables a mirror to be easily separated from a used container, and there is no danger of the mirror being detached during use. An object of the present invention is to provide an excellent cosmetic compact container which can be stored and has a simple structure.

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

In the compact cosmetic container 1 of the present invention, a fitting recess 2 is formed in a fixed wall surface A as shown in the illustrated example, and is fixed by a frame member 3 fixed to a peripheral portion in the fitting recess 2. .

The fixed wall surface A is a wall surface for fixing the mirror 4, and various specific positions can be adopted depending on the form of the compact cosmetic container. Generally, the back of the container body is rotatably connected to the rear of the container body, and the upper surface of the container body is opened and closed. In the case of a container provided with a lid so that the upper surface of the inner plate can be opened and closed, the back surface of the inner plate may be used as a fixed wall surface. Can be adopted.

The fitting recess 2 is a recess for accommodating and fixing the mirror 4, and is formed in a planar shape according to the shape of the mirror and the shape of the frame member.

The mirror 4 used in the conventional compact container can be used. The shape of the mirror 4 is not limited to a flat rectangular shape as shown in the figure, but may be a flat circular shape, a flat elliptical shape, or the like. Various shapes such as a plane triangular shape can be adopted.

The frame member 3 is formed by extending a peripheral wall portion 5 fitted and fixed to a peripheral portion in the fitting concave portion 2 around the mirror 4 and a thin wall break portion 6 from a surface side of the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion. In addition to being provided so as to be cuttable along the circumferential direction, the back surface is pressed against the periphery of the mirror surface, and the end portion is protruded inward, so that the finger hook portion 7 is provided.
And a strip-shaped locking piece 8. As the material of the frame member 3, for example, a synthetic resin, an elastomer or the like can be used. However, it is preferable to select a relatively soft material because the strip-shaped locking piece 8 can be easily broken. Various methods can be adopted as a method of fixing the frame member 3. For example, a method of simply forcibly fitting or a method of bonding and fixing the lower surface and the outer peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 5 to the inner surface of the fitting concave portion 2 with an adhesive can be adopted. .

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the container 1 has a dish-shaped container body 11 having a concave portion 9 for accommodating cosmetics and a concave portion 10 for storing puffs on the upper surface, and a rear portion rotatable at the rear of the main body 11. And a lid 12 provided on the upper surface of the container body 11 so as to be openable and closable, and a fitting concave portion 2 in which the rear surface of the lid 12 is concavely formed in a rectangular shape, and the mirror 4 is fixed in the concave portion. An example is shown. Also,
In the illustrated example, a cover body is provided on an engagement protrusion 14 protruding from an inner rear wall of the concave portion 13 formed by pushing the container body 11 backward from the front center.
(12) A hook 15 hanging from the front part of the rear surface is engaged so as to maintain the closed state, and the engagement protrusion 14 and the hook are pressed by a push button 16 provided swingably in the concave part 13.
A well-known engaging means configured to be able to release the engagement with 15 is provided.

Further, the frame member 3 has a peripheral wall portion 5 having a rectangular shape in a vertical cross section and a rectangular shape in a horizontal plane, and the back surface of the peripheral wall portion 5 is adhered to the peripheral edge of the fitting recess 2 by an adhesive. And then fixed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, each end of the finger hook 7 extends toward the center at one corner, and when the band-shaped locking piece 8 is cut and removed, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (1), it is configured such that the breaking portion 6 can be easily broken by grasping one end. In the illustrated example, a thin breakable connecting piece 17 is integrally provided between the finger hooks 7.

In this embodiment, a cushion member 18 is interposed between the fixed wall surface A and the back surface of the mirror 4. By interposing the cushion member 18, even if a dimensional error occurs in the frame member 3 or the mirror 4, the mirror member can be fixed without any backlash or the like by correcting the dimensional error. The cushion 18 is preferably in the form of a sheet, and the material thereof may be an elastic elastomer, a synthetic resin, or the like. Note that the cushioning material does not necessarily have to be provided. In this case, it is preferable to take measures such as, for example, configuring the mirror 4 to be slightly thicker so as to surely press the band-shaped locking piece 8 into pressure contact.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, a window hole a whose upper edge is widened through a step is formed at the center of the top plate fitting recess 19 formed on the upper surface of the lid 12. The fitting recess 2 formed by fitting the top plate 20 is employed. In addition, a flange fitted into an annular concave portion 21 formed by the step portion and the top plate 20
22 employs a frame member 3 projecting from the top plate side of the outer periphery of the peripheral wall portion 5.

Therefore, the frame member 3 is reliably prevented from coming off the fitting recess 2.

[0020]

As described above, the container of the present invention has a fitting recess formed in a fixed wall surface and a mirror fixed by a frame member fixed to a peripheral portion in the fitting recess. A peripheral wall portion fitted and fixed to the peripheral edge of the fitting recess around the mirror, and extending from a surface side of the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion through a thin break portion so as to be provided so as to be cuttable along the circumferential direction, Since it is composed of a band-shaped locking piece whose back surface is pressed against the peripheral edge, it is possible to obtain sufficient fixing strength at the time of use, and it is possible to securely fix the mirror,
In addition, when disposing after use of the container, the mirror can be removed by a simple operation of breaking and removing the band-shaped locking piece along the broken portion, so that the mirror can be easily separated from other synthetic resin materials. It has the unique effect of being able to be discarded. In addition, since the band-shaped locking piece is configured as a finger hook part whose end is protruded inward, the strip-shaped locking piece also has an advantage that the locking piece can be more easily broken and removed.

In the container according to the second aspect of the present invention, even if a slight dimensional error occurs in the mirror or the fitting recess due to the presence of the cushion material,
The error can be corrected by the cushioning material and the mirror can be stably fixed without inconvenience such as rattling.

Further, in the container according to the third aspect of the present invention, there is no possibility that the frame member comes off from the inside of the fitting recess, and even if the adhesive portion for fixing the frame member is peeled off, the mirror can be stably fixed. It is something that can be kept.
