Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a compact case in which an inner tray filled with cosmetics can be refilled.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, many compact cases have been proposed in which a storage tray filled with cosmetics can be attached or detached at will. The methods include sticking the storage tray to the compact case with adhesive, attaching the storage tray to the compact case with a magnet, and providing an engaging part on the storage tray and the compact case to engage the storage tray. .

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

The configuration in which the storage tray is attached with adhesive makes it easy to attach and remove the storage tray, but it is necessary to resist the adhesive force of the adhesive when removing the storage tray.
The drawback was that the storage tray was difficult to remove. Also,
Although the structure in which the storage tray is attracted by a magnet makes it easy to attach and remove the storage tray, magnets and magnetic materials are required for the storage tray and the compact case, resulting in high costs. In addition, the structure in which an engaging part is provided on the storage tray and the compact case to engage the storage tray is such that when the storage tray is removed, a wedge-shaped button is inserted below the storage tray to release the engagement of the storage tray. A special mechanism such as this was required. Furthermore, when the storage tray is removed, stress is applied to the storage tray, deforming the storage tray and causing damage to the filled cosmetics.

[Means to solve problems]

In the structure in which the lid body 7 and the container body 9 are hinged to each other so as to be openable and closable by a hinge 10, and a storage recess 13 is provided on the upper surface of the container body 9 to which a storage tray 2 filled with cosmetics 1 is attached. The storage tray 2 is formed from a thin metal plate, and is provided with a flange 3 that protrudes outward around the entire circumference of the upper end.
A section 4 having a certain degree of elasticity and having a curled section 5 whose tip is curled downward into a pipe shape is provided on one edge of the section.

A locking tool 15 having a holding part 17 provided with an engaging groove 16 into which the curled part 5 enters is hinged to one side wall of the storage recess 13 so as to be able to rotate upward from a slightly downward position. do. The distance between the inner wall of this engagement groove 16 and the inner wall surface on the opposite side of the locking tool 15 is determined by
The distance is slightly shorter than the distance between the curled portion 5 and the opposite side wall. The elasticity of the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 elastically holds the storage tray 2 in the storage recess 13.

[Effect]

To attach the storage tray 2, first rotate the holding portion 17 of the locking tool 15 upward, and then attach the side wall of the storage tray 2 opposite the curled portion 5 to the storage tray on the opposite side of the locking tool 15. It is brought into contact with the inner wall of the recess 13. Then, when the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 is placed in the engagement groove 16 of the holding portion 17 facing upward, and the collar portion 3 near the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 is pressed downward, the curled portion 5 first It enters the engagement groove 16. Furthermore, since the distance between the inner wall of the engagement groove 16 and the inner wall surface on the opposite side of the locking tool 15 is configured to be slightly shorter than the distance between the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 and the side wall on the opposite side, this length The holding portion 17 of the locking tool 15 rotates downward while the curl portion 5 and the section 4 are elastically bent by the difference in length. Then, the locking tool 15 stops in a state facing slightly downward, and the curled portion 5 becomes unable to be removed. At this time,
Since the curl portion 5 and the section 4 are in an elastically bent state, they have restoring force. This resilience is
This becomes a stress that tries to rotate the locking tool 15,
Since the locking tool 15 is stopped in a state facing slightly downward, the stress that attempts to rotate the locking tool 15 downward becomes a holding force that holds the storage tray 2.

Moreover, when the storage tray 2 or the locking tool 15 is pushed upward, the restoring force of the curled portion 5 and the section 4 is
The holding force that holds the storage tray 2 at the horizontal position of the locking tool 15 is converted into a force that attempts to rotate the locking tool 15, and the elastic holding of the storage tray 2 is released, allowing the storage tray 2 to be easily moved. It can be removed.

〔Example〕

First, the storage tray 2 that stores the cosmetics 1 will be explained. The storage tray 2 is formed from an aluminum plate material with a wall thickness of about 0.6 mm into a plate shape having a substantially rectangular planar shape. The entire circumference of the upper end is folded back outward to form a flange portion 3. Further, a bent section 4 protrudes from one side of the flange 3, and the tip of this section 4 forms a curled section 5 that is curled downward into a pipe shape. This curl portion 5 can be bent inward with a certain degree of elasticity.

Next, the case body 6 that houses the storage tray 2 will be explained. The case body 6 includes a lid body 7 and an inner lid 8.
and a vessel body 9, each of which is connected by a hinge 10 so as to be freely openable and closable. The lid body 7 has a hook 11 hanging down from the lower surface of the tip. The container body 9 has engaging protrusions 12 protruding from all end faces thereof, which are engaged with the hooks 11 of the lid body 7 and hold the lid body 7 in a closed state. A storage recess 13 in which the storage tray 2 is stored is carved on the upper surface of the container body 9. This storage recess 13
It is preferable that an engagement step 14 with which the flange 3 of the storage tray 2 engages is provided on the inner wall of the front end thereof.

Note that a locking tool 15 is arranged at the rear end of the storage recess 13, and the end portion is hinged to a hinge 10. This locking tool 15 is provided with a holding part 17 having an engaging groove 16 into which the curled part 5 of the storage tray 2 engages, and is configured so that this holding part 17 can be rotated up and down. The range of this rotation is from a state where the locking tool 15 is slightly downward to an upward range. Note that when this locking tool 15 stops at the bottom dead center, that is, facing slightly downward, the distance between the inner wall of the engagement groove 16 and the front inner wall surface of the storage recess 13 is opposite to the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2. It is configured to be shorter than the distance between the side walls. Therefore, the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 is connected to the locking tool 1.
5 into the engagement groove 16 and the storage tray 2 enters the storage recess 1.
3, the curl portion 5 and the section 4 have elasticity and are in a bent state. Since the distance between the inner wall of the engagement groove 16 and the front inner wall surface of the storage recess 13 is the shortest when the locking tool 15 is horizontal, the locking tool 15
When is at the bottom dead center, the restoring force of the curled portion 5 and the section 4 becomes a stress that tends to rotate the locking tool 15 downward, and becomes a holding force that holds the storage tray 2 so that it cannot fall off. Then, with the horizontal position of the locking tool 15 as a boundary, the restoring force of the curled portion 5 and the section 4 of the storage tray 2 becomes a stress that causes the locking tool 15 to rotate upward.
This acts as a releasing force that releases the engagement between the curled portion 5 and the engagement groove 16.

A pressing hole 18 is bored in the bottom of the storage recess 13 of the container body 9 so that the stored storage tray 2 can be pressed upward. Note that if this press hole 18 is drilled in a position where the locking tool 15 can be seen, when removing the storage tray 2 on which the cosmetics 1 remain, the storage tray 2 can be moved upward without pressing the storage tray 2 directly. Since it can be pressed, the stress of pressing is not applied to the storage tray 2, and damage to the cosmetics 1 can be prevented.

Further, the inner lid 8 is hinged between the lid body 7 and the container body 9, and the space between the inner lid 8 and the lid body 7 is a storage chamber 20 for the applicator 19. If the lower surface of the inner lid 8 is configured to come into contact with the upper surface of the storage tray 2 when closed, the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 can be moved into the engagement groove 16 by the operation of closing the lid body 7 together with the inner lid 8. The storage tray 2 can be attached to the storage recess 13 by rotating the locking tool 15 downward.

The above is an embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, as another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, it is also possible to have a configuration in which the storage chamber 20 for the applicator 19 and the storage recess 13 for the storage tray 2 are provided in parallel on the top surface of the container 9. It is. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, not only the structure in which the locking tool 15 is hinged to the hinge 10 together with the lid 7 and the container body 9, but also the structure in which the locking tool 15 is hinged separately can be implemented.

The present invention is not limited to the configuration shown in the figures above, but the locking tool 15 may be hinged to any inner wall of the storage recess 13 of the storage tray 2. Moreover, this storage recess 13 can also be provided not only in the vessel body 9 but also in the inner lid 8. Therefore, the invention can be implemented in many combinations of configurations.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the present invention, when the locking tool 15 hinged to the container body 9 rotates up and down, the engagement groove 16 in which the curled portion 5 of the storage tray 2 engages changes its direction upward. The storage tray 2 can be easily attached and detached. Moreover, since this locking tool 15 can be rotated until it faces slightly downward, the distance between the engaging groove 16 and the opposite inner wall of the storage recess 13 changes when the locking tool 15 is rotated. The curved portion 5 and section 4 of the storage tray 2 are elastically deformed by using the points, and this elastic restoring force is used to hold the storage tray 2. Therefore, the storage tray 2 can be moved by simply rotating the locking tool 15. It is designed so that it can be reliably attached and detached.

Furthermore, in the present invention, a section 4 and a curled portion 5 are provided at one end of the storage tray 2, and the elasticity of the section 4 and curled section 5 is used to attach it to the storage recess 13 of the container body 9. Since only the section 4 and the curled portion 5 are elastically deformed, no stress is applied to the cosmetic 1 filled in the storage tray 2, which also has the effect of not adversely affecting the cosmetic 1. There is.
