Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement of a compact case for storing cosmetics such as foundation and applicators such as puffs.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, cases have been used in which applicators such as sponge-like puffs are stored in a storage chamber separate from a cosmetic storage tray within a compact case. This type of case has a storage chamber for the sponge-like puff and a storage chamber for the cosmetics storage tray, which are arranged separately above and below. Some were placed separately on a flat surface.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, in both configurations, when the sponge-like puff is stored in the storage chamber, it becomes difficult to take out the puff because miniaturization is pursued in consideration of portability. Therefore, in Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-12418, etc.,
A compact case has been proposed in which the bottom plate also rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the lid, raising the puff above the storage chamber and making it easier to take out the puff.

However, since this bottom lid is only hinged to the hinge that connects the lid and the container body, it easily moves up and down due to pressure from below even when the lid is closed. It didn't feel good to use. In addition, this bottom cover forms the bottom of the case and must have a certain degree of strength on which the puff is placed, but there is a boss at the rear that pivots on the hinge. Because the wall thicknesses of the parts were different, it was impossible to use a thin metal plate, which is advantageous in terms of strength, to form the case, resulting in a thick case. Furthermore, since the bottom cover must be pivotally attached to the hinge together with the puff dish, cosmetic dish, and lid, it is necessary to make major modifications to the conventional case, which may increase development costs.

[Means to solve problems]

On the upper surface of the container body 1, a storage recess 3 for storing a cosmetic storage plate 2 is carved in the front, and a storage hole 6 with an open bottom is bored in the rear. Further, between the hinge parts 10a of the vessel body 1, a concave groove 15 is carved, which is continuous with the storage hole part 6 and has a pressing hole 13 at the rear and constitutes a stepped part 14. The elevating bottom cover 17 is stored in the . The elevating bottom cover 17 includes a bottom plate 18 that becomes the bottom of the storage hole 6 of the container body 1, side walls 21 standing on both sides of the bottom plate 18 at approximately the same height as the container body 1, and the groove 1.
5, the operating piece 23 is configured to allow the elevating bottom cover 17 to rotate but not to be removed.

A lid body 8 that covers the vessel body 1 is hinged to the vessel body 1 so as to be openable and closable. The hinge part 10b of the lid body 8 has a pressing hole 13 in which the rear end of the actuating piece 23 of the elevating bottom lid 17 is inserted.
The pressing cam 24, which moves the bottom plate 18 upward using the stepped portion 14 as a fulcrum, expands. The present invention has the above configuration.

[Effect]

That is, when the lid body 8 is opened, the hinge portion 10b pivots.
Since the pressing cam 24 presses the operating piece 23 into the pressing hole 13, the elevating bottom cover 17 moves up and down with the sponge-like puff 5 placed thereon, using the step 14 of the groove 15 as a fulcrum. Incidentally, since the elevating bottom lid 17 has a side wall 21 that is approximately the same height as the container body 1, the upper end of the side wall 21 almost comes into contact with the inner surface of the lid body 8 when the lid body 8 is closed and stored. It is structured as follows. Therefore, the elevating bottom cover 17 does not move upward when the cover body 8 is closed and carried.

〔Example〕

In the container body 1, a storage recess 3 for storing a cosmetic storage tray 2 is bored in the front of the top surface, and a storage hole 6 for storing a sponge-like puff 5 penetrates through to the bottom surface leaving a bottom edge 19 at the rear. It is perforated. A lid body 8 that closes this container body 1 has a hook part 7 hanging down from the front.
A mirror 9 is attached to the inner surface. The container body 1 and the lid body 8 each have a hinge portion 10 provided at the rear end.
A shaft hole 11 is bored in a and 10b, and a hinge shaft 12 is passed through and supported by the shaft hole 11, and is hinged so as to be openable and closable.

Moreover, the container body 1 to which the hinge part 10b of the lid body 8 is hinged
A groove 15 that continues to the storage hole 6 is cut between the hinge parts 10a. A press hole 13 is bored at the rear of this groove 15, and a step 14 is formed at the front.
is configured. Further, engagement recesses 16 are carved in both side walls of the hinge portion 10a.

An elevating bottom cover 17 is housed in the storage hole 6 and the groove 15 of the container body 1. This elevating bottom cover 17
is formed by bending a thin metal plate. The elevating bottom cover 17 is disposed at the bottom of the storage hole 6 and has a peripheral edge 20 that abuts the bottom edge 19. The side wall 21 erected at approximately the same height as the body 1 and the rear end of the bottom plate 18 bend along the inner wall of the storage hole 6 of the body 1, enter the groove 15, and enter the engagement recess 16. It is comprised of an operating piece 23 protruding from an engaging collar 22 that is irremovably engaged. The lower surface of the actuating piece 23 abuts against the stepped portion 14 of the groove 15, the tip reaches the press hole 13, and the upper surface abuts against the hinge portion 10b of the lid 8.

Further, on the outer periphery of the hinge portion 10b of the lid 8, when the lid 8 is pivoted to open, after the lid 8 opens 90 degrees or more, the rear end of the actuating piece 23 is pressed into the press hole 13. The pressing cam 24 is bulging.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 3, even when the lid body 8 is closed,
If the pressing cam 24 is configured to press the operating piece 23 of the lift-bottom cover 17, the lift-bottom cover 17 will be prevented from moving upward as its side wall 21 comes into contact with the inner surface of the cover body 8. Therefore, the operating piece 23 has elasticity and is in a bent state. That is, when the hook portion 7 is disengaged, the lid body 8 is pressed from below by the side wall 21 of the elevating bottom lid 17 that is about to be lifted, and the lid body 8 is lifted slightly, making it impossible to perform the opening operation. It becomes easier.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the compact case of the present invention, when the lid 8 is opened, the elevating bottom lid 17 of the storage hole 6 in which the sponge-like puff 5 is placed is moved.
The sponge-like puff 5 also rises, which has the effect of making it easier to take out. Incidentally, a side wall 21 is provided upright on the elevating bottom lid 17, and since the side wall 21 is in contact with the inner surface of the lid 8 when the lid 8 is closed, the elevating bottom lid 17 will not close even if pressure is applied from below, such as when carrying the device. It moves up and down, making it uncomfortable to use, and also prevents dirt from entering. Furthermore,
The side walls 21 of the elevating bottom cover 17 also have the effect of preventing the sponge-like puff 5 from accidentally falling off from both sides when the lid body 8 is opened and the elevating bottom cover 17 is moved upward. .

Moreover, since the bottom plate 18 is moved up and down using the stepped portion 14 as a fulcrum by pushing down the operating piece 23, the bottom cover 17 can be formed into a plate shape with the same thickness, making it thin and strong. It can be molded from a tall thin metal plate, allowing the case to be constructed thinly.

Furthermore, the storage hole 6 of the vessel body 1 is vertically penetrated,
Since the present invention can be carried out by simply carving the groove 15 in the hinge part 10a and providing the pressing cam 24 in the hinge part 10b of the lid body 8, a case with a conventional structure can be used sufficiently, and the development cost can be reduced. I can do things.
