Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a compact container for storing cosmetics and cosmetic puffs.

``Prior art'' Cosmetic puffs are used after being moistened with water depending on the type of cosmetic, but puffs that are moistened with water in this way are not used properly after use due to hygiene issues. It needs to be kept dry. If the puff is simply squeezed after use and then placed in the puff storage space, it will remain damp and unclean.

In view of this point, it has been considered so far to provide ventilation holes in the bottom wall of the puff storage section to ventilate the interior.

However, since the bottom wall of the cosmetic puff storage section is where the puff is placed, if a ventilation hole is provided in this bottom wall, the ventilation hole will be blocked by the puff. A problem has arisen in that the puff cannot be properly dried.

In addition, if the puff is not squeezed thoroughly after use, the moisture contained in the puff may leak out of the compact container through the vent hole and wet surrounding items. They also had the problem of getting them dirty.

Furthermore, since the ventilation holes are easily visible, compact containers are designed for compact containers where appearance is important.
Problems remained.

From the viewpoint of dryness and visibility,
The proposal of No. 200112 has ventilation holes between the flat ring layers of the peripheral wall, so it is superior to the proposal in which ventilation holes are provided in the bottom wall.

``Problem that the invention attempts to solve'' However, the proposal in J. U.S. Pat. Therefore, there is room for improvement in this point.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is a compact container that visually prevents water leakage and ensures good drying performance in a compact container with ventilation holes arranged in the peripheral wall. The purpose is to provide the following.

"Means for Solving the Problems" In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention has the following configuration.

The compact container according to the present invention includes a main body 1, a lid 2, and an inner frame 3 located between the main body 1 and the lid 2.
A cosmetic storage space 4 is formed between the inner frame 3 and the main body 1, and a cosmetic puff storage space 5 is formed between the inner frame 3 and the main body 1, and in the closed state, the main body 1 side end A ventilation hole 6 that communicates the puff storage space 5 with the outside is formed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the side end of the middle frame body 3, and the side end of the middle frame body 3 is formed inwardly from the side end of the main body 1. The structure is such that it is not located in the opposite direction.

The ventilation hole 6 has a cutout stepped portion 9 formed inward from the center portion of the upper surface of the side end of the main body 1, and a plurality of step portions 8 intermittently formed outward from the center portion. Further, a groove 7 is formed in the center of the lower surface of the end of the inner frame 3 which is in contact with the upper surface of the end of the main body 1, leaving both ends thereof.

"Function" Puff storage space 5 in which the cosmetic puff 14 is stored
is closed when the middle frame 3 and main body 1 reach a closed state. In this closed state, the puff storage space 5 communicates with the outside through the ventilation hole 6 provided between the middle frame 3 and the main body 1.

Therefore, even if the puff 14 containing moisture is stored in the puff storage space 5 after applying makeup, the moisture in the puff 14 will evaporate into the outside air through the ventilation hole 6. Therefore,
The puff 14 dries while stored and is kept extremely clean.

If a ventilation hole is formed on the bottom wall of the main unit, there is a possibility that the moisture absorbed by the puff will drip and flow outside through the ventilation hole, wetting or staining surrounding objects. In the case of the present invention, the ventilation hole 6 is provided between the middle frame 3 and the main body 1, that is, on the side of the compact container, in the shape of a weir consisting of a gentle uphill slope and a downhill slope. As long as the elevator is placed in this position, such problems will not occur, and since the ventilation path is formed into a smooth hoistway, ventilation is smooth and the ventilation is excellent.

Also, since the side edges of the middle frame 3 are not located inward from the side edges of the main body 1, that is, the side edges of the middle frame 3 are either aligned with the side edges of the main body 1 or do not protrude further. Therefore, the ventilation hole 6 is covered up, and as a result, the ventilation hole 6 becomes conspicuous.
There is no possibility that the appearance will deteriorate.

"Embodiment" An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

This figure shows a semi-longitudinal sectional view.

On the upper surface of the side end portion of the main body 1, a notch step portion 9 is formed inward from the center portion thereof, and a plurality of step portions 8 are intermittently formed outward from the center portion. A groove 7 is formed in the center of the lower surface of the end on the side of the inner frame 3 which contacts the upper surface of the end on the side of the main body 1 to close the puff storage space 5, leaving both ends intact.

Therefore, when the middle frame 3 and the main body 1 are in the closed state, the lower surface of the outermost end of the middle frame 3 is the outermost part of the main body 1, which is formed intermittently in an uneven shape by the plurality of steps 8. It comes into contact with the upper surface of the convex portion of the end. The ventilation hole 6 that communicates the puff storage space 5 with the outside is formed by a notch 9.
The groove 7 and the stepped portion 8 form a weir-like structure consisting of a gentle uphill slope and a gentle downhill slope.

A puff storage space 5 formed by the middle frame 3 and the main body 1 is formed by making the main body 1 into a dish shape.
A cosmetic storage space 4 formed by the middle frame 3 and the lid 2 is formed by standing a side wall 12 from a bottom wall 13 of the middle frame 3. A lid body 2 that closes the cosmetic storage space 4 is dish-shaped, and a mirror 10 is fixed to the lower surface.

Here, the side edges of the middle frame body 2 and the side edges of the main body 1 are as follows.
It is arranged. Therefore, the ventilation hole 6 is not noticeable,
No damage to appearance.

Further, a decorative body 11 is attached to the top surface of the lid body 2 to enhance decorativeness.

Note that the compact container according to the present invention is not limited to only a hinge type or a sliding type.

"Effects of the invention" In this way, the compact container according to the invention has
In the closed state, the puff storage space is communicated with the outside through a ventilation hole with a dam function that ensures ventilation, making it easy to dry puffs that contain moisture, keeping the puffs and the puff storage space clean forever. In addition, the moisture from the puff does not leak out and wet or stain surrounding objects.

Furthermore, the side edges of the middle frame are not located inward from the side edges of the main body, so the ventilation holes are not noticeable.
Therefore, excellent effects such as no deterioration of appearance are exhibited.
