Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (1) Industrial application field This invention relates to a cosmetic compact, especially a compact that is convenient to use and has an inner tray for storing cosmetic materials such as eyeshadow and cream. .

(2) Prior Art In conventionally known compacts that include a lower lid and an upper lid that is pivotally supported at the rear end of the lower lid so that it can be opened and closed, a The inner plate is fitted and housed in the recess, and the back of the inner plate and the bottom of the recess are attached using double-sided tape or the like.

(3) Problems that the invention aims to solve By the way, with the above-mentioned compact, once the inner tray is attached to the recess in the lower lid, the decorative material stored in the inner tray disappears, and the decorative material must be added separately. If you want to replace the stored inner plate with a new inner plate, you must pull the inner plate out of the recess to release the adhesive with double-sided tape, etc., then clean the bottom of the recess and attach the new inner plate again. The problem was that the work was extremely poor.

Therefore, the technical object of this invention is to eliminate the problems of the above-mentioned conventional ones and to provide a compact in which the inner tray can be easily attached.

(4) Means for solving the problems In order to solve the above technical problems, this invention is characterized by adopting the following technical means.
That is, an engaging convex portion is provided on the back surface of the inner tray that is attached to the surface of the lower lid, an engaging recess into which the engaging convex portion of the inner tray engages is formed on the surface of the lower lid, and this engaging recess is formed on the surface of the lower lid. a first recess having an upper opening large enough to allow the engagement protrusion of the inner plate to be inserted and removed in the vertical direction;
The second recess is connected to the first recess, and the engaging protrusion of the inner plate cannot be inserted or removed in the vertical direction, and is positioned and engaged by sliding from the first recess.

(5) Action To replace the inner plate, slide the engagement protrusion of the inner plate from the second recess to the first recess, then lift the inner plate and engage it with the engagement recess of the lower cover. out of alignment. Next, the engagement protrusion of the new inner plate is inserted into the first recess from above and fitted, and then the engagement protrusion is slid from the first recess to the second recess. As a result, the engaging convex portion irremovably engages with the second recessed portion upward, and the inner tray becomes attached to the surface of the lower lid, completing the replacement work. As mentioned above, replacement work is significantly easier than with conventional adhesive methods such as double-sided tape.

(6) Embodiment In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a compact lower lid, and this lower lid 1 has a locking part 2 provided at its rear end that locks with the rear end of the upper lid (not shown). By pivoting between the locking portions with a pivot pin (not shown), the top cover can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 3 denotes a plurality of inner plates (six in the drawing) attached to both sides of the surface of the lower lid 1, and the inner plates 3 have recesses 4 for storing decorative materials formed on the surface as shown in FIG. , an engagement protrusion 5 is provided protruding from the back surface. The proximal end portion of the engaging convex portion 5 is formed into an engaging portion 5' having a smaller diameter than the outside diameter of the other portion.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the same number of engagement recesses 7 as the number of inner plates 3 are formed on both sides of the surface of the lower lid 1, with which the engagement protrusions 5 of the inner plate 3 engage. The engagement recess 7 includes a horizontally trapezoidal first recess 10 having an upper opening large enough to allow the engagement protrusion 5 of the inner plate 3 to be vertically inserted and removed, and a short side of the first recess 10. The engaging protrusion 5 of the inner plate 3 is formed of a substantially circular second recess 12 connected to the side and positioned by sliding from the first recess 10 . The upper opening edge of the second recess 12 is provided with an inward small-diameter engaging portion 12 ′, and the engaging portion 5 ′ of the engaging convex portion 5 of the inner plate 3 located in the second recess 12 is provided.
This engagement prevents the engaging convex portion 5 of the inner plate 3 from being pulled out upwardly. Further, the distance l between the connecting edges of the second recess 12 and the first recess 10 is the third
As shown in the figure, it is slightly shorter than the diameter of the engagement protrusion 5 to prevent the engagement protrusion 5 located and engaged in the second recess 12 from accidentally sliding toward the first recess 10. It's summery.

In Fig. 1, 14 is a cosmetic tool, and 15 is a locking protrusion provided on the front end surface of the lower lid 1. By locking with a locking projection (not shown) provided on the front end surface of the upper lid, the compact can be attached. The lid can be closed.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

To replace the inner plate 3, in the state shown in Figure 1, replace the inner plate 3.
slide it toward the cosmetic tool 14 side. As a result, medium plate 3
The engagement protrusion 5 is located from the first recess 12 to the first recess 10 of the engagement recess 7 (FIG. 4). Thereafter, the inner plate 3 is lifted and the engagement protrusion 5 is disengaged from the engagement recess 7. Next, after inserting and fitting the engaging protrusion 5 of the new inner plate 3 into the first recess 10 from above, the inner plate 3 is slid to the opposite side as shown by the arrow in FIG. , the engagement protrusion 5 is connected to the first recess 10
from the second recess 12. As a result, the engaging convex portion 5 irremovably engages with the second recess 12 upward, and the new inner plate 3 is placed on the surface of the lower lid 1 (FIG. 5).

It should be noted that the shapes of the engaging protrusion 5 and the engaging recess 7 in the above-mentioned embodiments are merely examples, and various design changes are possible without changing the gist. Also,
The number of inner plates, the sliding direction of the inner plates, etc. can also be selected as appropriate.

(7) Effects of the invention Since this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the inner plate is inserted into the first recess of the engagement recess with the engagement protrusion provided on the back surface of the inner plate, and then slid into the second recess. By positioning it with the holder, it can be easily attached to the surface of the lower lid, and there is no need for conventional troublesome work such as adhesion with double-sided tape, release of the adhesion, and cleaning. This has the excellent effect of significantly improving the work of replacing the inner tray.
