Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> The present invention relates to a compact container configured by integrally connecting the body and the lid, and in particular, the lid can be automatically opened by pressing either the front or back or left or right side of the body. This relates to a compact container that can be opened quickly.

<Prior Art> Conventional compact containers of this type have hooks protruding from the openings of the body and lid, respectively, and the lid and body are opened and closed by engaging these hooks with each other. In these conventional containers, it is necessary to make the hook accurate and the strength of the engagement extremely accurate.
If these are not accurate, the hook engagement may become loose and the lid may open unexpectedly, or the hook engagement may be too tight and the lid may not open properly. There was a drawback that product defects frequently occurred due to defects. In particular, containers that are constructed by integrally connecting the body and the lid are prone to molding errors, resulting in frequent problems with the fitting of the hook. In addition, in the conventional case, the opening to be pressed must be clearly indicated, so there were drawbacks such as an unsightly design.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> The present invention is a technology developed in view of these conventional drawbacks, and is particularly applicable to containers in which the body and the lid are integrally connected via a hinge. The object is to provide a completely new compact container whose lid can be opened easily and automatically by pressing either the front or back of the body, or the right or left sides.

<Means for solving the problem> The present invention provides a container in which the body and the lid are integrally connected to each other via a bendable hinge, and bridge pieces are provided in front and on both sides of the body. This compact container is characterized in that a pressure ring is provided with a predetermined gap maintained between the lid and the lid, and an inclined surface is provided on the lower surface of the lid that can come into contact with the upper edge of the pressure ring.

<Function> As described above, in the present invention, the body and the lid are integrally connected via a hinge, and a pressing ring is provided in front and on both sides of the body through bridge pieces, and the lower surface of the lid is inclined. Since the surface is provided, when the pressing ring is pressed in the axial direction, the pressing ring comes into contact with this slope and gradually pushes up the lid, forcibly releasing the engagement between the body and the lid hook, and opening the lid. I can do it.

<Example> To specifically explain an example of the compact container according to the present invention with reference to the drawings, in FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is the body, and the opening has a hook 2
is provided protrudingly, and press rings 4 are provided in front and on both sides thereof with a bridge 3 interposed therebetween, with a predetermined gap maintained between them. Reference numeral 5 denotes a lid that covers the body 1, and has a hook 6 protruding from its opening that can be engaged with the hook 2, and an axially inclined surface 7 on the lower surface of the outer periphery of the lid 5. is provided.

Further, the body 1 and the lid 5 are integrally connected to each other via a bendable hinge 8 at a hinge portion corresponding to the hooks 2 and 6 of the opening, respectively.

Therefore, in the container of the present invention, the body 1 and the lid 5 can be integrally molded by an injection molding machine by using a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene.

In the container according to the present invention, when opening the lid 5, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, press any position of the pressing rings 4 provided on the front and both sides in the axial direction. , as this pressing ring 4 pushes up the inclined surface 7 of the lid 5 while moving, the body 1
Then, the engagement of the hooks 2 and 6 of the lid 5 is forcibly released, thereby allowing the lid 5 to be opened.

<Effects of the invention> Since the container according to the invention has the structure and function described above, the body and the lid can be manufactured integrally in one step, and mutual hinges using pins or the like are not required. Furthermore, the lid can be opened easily and automatically by pressing any position of the pressing rings provided in front and on both sides of the body through bridge pieces, and the container of the present invention has a pressing ring. Since the lid is rationally opened by opening the hook through the lid, the force required to open the lid is small, making handling extremely convenient, and the fit between the body and the lid hook can be set to be strong. This prevents product defects due to loose hooks, and also eliminates the need to clearly indicate the opening where the hook is located.
It has many features such as being able to construct containers with excellent design.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]
