(2) Prior art As a compact, the lower cover has a recess for fitting an inner plate on the surface and a pair of locking protrusions at one end, and the locking protrusions hanging down from one end are provided as described above. Some devices include an upper lid that is locked between locking protrusions of the lower lid and pivoted to the lower lid so that it can be opened and closed, and an inner plate that is fitted into the recess of the lower lid.

However, in conventional compacts of this type, it is extremely difficult to unfit the inner plate once it has been fitted into the recessed part of the lower lid, and when it is absolutely necessary to unfit the inner plate for replacement etc. An insertion tool was inserted into the boundary between the inner plate and the recess, and the inner plate was forcibly lifted by applying the lever principle of this insertion tool. As a result, it took time to replace the inner tray, and the insertion of the insertion tool caused damage to the lower lid, which has a recessed portion.

(3) Purpose This invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional ones mentioned above, and allows the inner plate to be easily disengaged from the concave part of the lower cover with a one-touch operation, allowing quick replacement and improving work efficiency. The purpose is to provide a good compact design.

(4) Configuration In order to achieve the above object, the compact of this invention has a notch with an upper opening that communicates with the recess of the lower lid at one end between the locking protrusions of the lower lid in the compact of the type described above. a protrusion that protrudes outward from the notch when the inner plate is fitted into the inner plate, and an engaging protrusion is provided on the locking protrusion of the lower cover to open the upper cover at a predetermined angle with respect to the lower cover. The locking protrusion of the top cover is provided with an engagement part that engages with the engagement protrusion when the lid is opened and is opened at a predetermined angle or more. The locking protrusion is provided with a push-up part that engages with the protrusion of the inner plate to push the inner plate upward and release the engagement when the top cover is opened at a predetermined angle or more. .

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 4, 1 is a compact, and this compact 1 consists of a lower lid 2, an upper lid 3, and an inner tray 4.

The lower lid 2 has a recess 6 on its surface for fitting an inner plate, and is provided with a locking projection 7 at its front end and a pair of locking projections 8 at its rear end. Locking protrusion 8,
A notch 11 with an upper opening that communicates with the recess 6 is formed in the lower cover wall of the lower cover 2 between 8 and 8 (the first

The engaging protrusion 12 is provided, and the recess 6
A similar engagement protrusion 13 is also provided on the inner surface of the front end portion (FIGS. 8 and 10). In addition, the locking protrusions 8, 8
A pin hole 15 is provided to pass through the pin hole 15 laterally, and a protruding portion 16 protruding in a semicircular arc shape is provided on opposing surfaces extending from the pin hole 15 to the rear end wall (eighth, Figure 9). A locking projection 18 provided vertically at the rear end of the upper lid 3 is locked between the locking portions 8 and 8 of the lower lid 2, and a pin hole 19 provided in the locking projection 18 is connected to the pin hole 15. It is pivotally supported by a matching pivot pin 20 so as to be openable and closable.

The upper lid 3 has a mirror 22 on its lower surface, and is provided at its front end with a locking projection 23 that removably locks with the locking projection 7 of the lower lid 2 when the lid is closed. Further, the locking protrusion 18 of the upper lid 3 has an inward surface on the upper lid 3 side and the tip side from the center of the pin hole 19 at a predetermined angle θ (not shown in the drawing) in the central portion facing the notch 11.
225°), and the tip edge of the uncut portion is formed into a push-up portion 25. On the other hand, on both sides of the locking protrusion 18, at the same time as described above, the inward surfaces from the center of the pin hole 19 to the upper cover 3 side and the tip side are cut out over a similar angle θ, and the tip edge of the portion that is not cut out. The portion is the protruding portion 16 of the lower lid.
The engagement edge 26 is formed to engage the lower edge of the ridge and to be able to ride over the protrusion 16 (the tenth,
11, 12).

The inner plate 4 has a size that allows it to fit into the recess 6 of the lower lid, has a cosmetic storage recess 28 on its surface, and has a rear end that fits into a notch 11 and projects outward. A protrusion 30 is provided. This protrusion 30
Before forming the recess 28, elastic pieces 31, 32 which can be elastically displaced are vertically disposed with a small gap from the rear end wall on both sides and the lower surface of the front end.
are provided with engaging protrusions 33 and 34 that removably engage with the engaging protrusions 12 and 13 of the lower lid 2.
(Figs. 5, 6, and 7) Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

In order to fit the inner plate 4 into the recess 6 of the lower lid 2 in the above, the inner plate 4 is pushed into the recess 6 so that the protrusion 30 faces the notch 11 . By this pushing, the engaging protrusions 33 and 34 provided on the inner plate 4
go over the engagement protrusions 12 and 13 of the lower lid 2 and are elastically engaged. As a result, the inner plate 4 is in a fitted state as shown in FIG. 2, with the lower surface of the protrusion 30 in contact with the notch 11 and its surface substantially flush with the surface of the lower lid 2. becomes.

In the compact 1 to which the inner plate 4 is attached by fitting as described above, in order to apply the cosmetic material stored in the recess 28 of the inner plate 4, the front end of the upper cover 3 is lifted with respect to the lower cover 2. With this, the upper lid 3
The locking protrusion 23 of is removed from the locking protrusion 7 of the lower cover 2,
Since the top cover 3 is opened, the mirror 22 is opened in this open state.
The cosmetic material can be applied using a puff or the like (not shown) while looking at the figure.

Next, when the decorative material is lost or the quality deteriorates in the recess 28 of the inner plate 4 that has been used as described above, it becomes necessary to remove the inner plate 4 in order to replace it with a new inner plate 4. If so, do the following:
That is, once the engagement edge 26 engages with the lower edge of the protrusion 16, the upper lid 3 is temporarily held in its open state and is not opened any more. At this time, the 11th
As shown in the figure, the push-up portion 25 provided on the locking protrusion 18 of the upper lid 3 is in contact with the lower surface of the protrusion 30 of the inner tray 4. When the upper lid 3 is further opened from this state, the engaging edge 26 rides over the protrusion 16, and at the same time, the push-up part 25 that was in contact pushes up the protrusion 30 of the inner plate 4 from below to above. By this pushing up, the engagement protrusions 33 and 34 of the inner plate 4 are disengaged from the engagement protrusions 12 and 13 of the lower lid 2, and the inner plate 4 is disengaged from the recess 6 (FIG. 12). Therefore,
The inner plate 4 can be replaced. Further, in order to fit a new inner plate into the recess 6 again, the above-described operation may be performed.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the locking protrusion 1 of the upper lid 3
8, the locking protrusion 18 was cut out at an angle θ, but it goes without saying that the angle θ can be changed as appropriate.
Figures 3, 14, and 15 show variations thereof. That is, in this modification, the angle is set to θ' (approximately 270° in the drawing). Therefore, in this case, at the rear end of the lower lid 2, the rear end wall between the locking protrusions 8, 8 and its bottom wall are cut out 41 so as to be continuous with the notch 11 of the embodiment described above, and the push-up part 42 is cut out. The protrusion 30 of the inner plate 4 can be pushed upward from below. Accordingly, an engaging protrusion 12 is also provided on the inner surface of the recess 6 where the engaging protrusions 8, 8 are located. Further, in the embodiment described above, the inner plate 4 is fitted into the recess 6 with the engagement protrusion 3.
Although 3 and 34 and 12 and 13 were engaged and fitted, it goes without saying that a simple fitting may be used as long as it does not come off easily. Furthermore, the shapes of the protruding portion 30 provided on the inner plate 4 and the push-up portion 25 provided on the locking protrusion 18 of the upper lid 3 are merely examples, and other designs may be used. Changes and modifications may be made as appropriate without changing the

(5) Effects Since this device is as described above, by opening the upper cover at a predetermined angle or more, the lower cover of the inner plate is lifted up by the pushing up part of the upper cover that engages with the protrusion of the inner plate. The inner plate can be disengaged from the recessed portion with a single touch operation, and the inner plate can be quickly replaced, thereby significantly improving the work efficiency in replacing the inner plate. Moreover, when the inner tray is not replaced, the engaging part provided on the upper lid engages with the engaging protrusion on the lower lid to keep the lid open, and the engaging part and engaging protrusion have a stopper function. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the push-up action from occurring inadvertently, and in addition to being highly operable and safe, it has the excellent effect of being simple in structure and inexpensive to manufacture. .
