Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a compact container equipped with a removable structure that facilitates removal of an inner tray containing cosmetics and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, compact containers with this type of inner plate removable structure have been designed so that the inner plate, which is fitted and held in the container body, can be removed when it is necessary to replace the cosmetic. The container is generally removed by having a small through-hole at the bottom, passing a removal tool such as a needle or pin through the hole from the outside, and then pushing up the inner tray and pulling it out from the container body. be.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, with the method of pushing up the inner plate using a removal tool such as a pin, it is not easy to remove the inner plate that is fitted and held in the container body.

The present invention was devised in view of the problems with the structure of removing the inner plate in conventional compact containers, and aims to provide a compact container in which the inner plate can be easily removed from the container body. There is.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the conventional problems and achieve the purpose.

That is, the compact container of the present invention has a container body 1
0 and the lid body 20 can be freely opened by hinge connection between the rear parts of the respective peripheral walls 11 and 21,
An inner plate 30 is fitted and held inside the container body 10.

A circumferential flange 32 is provided around the storage portion 31 of the inner plate 30, and an engaging claw portion 33 is protruded from the lower surface of the circumferential flange 32.
An engaging claw 33 on the inner plate 30 side is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 11.
A locking pawl 14 is provided with which the locking claw 14 is engaged.

On the other hand, a notch recess 12 is provided in the vicinity of the upper edge of the hinge joint in the container body 10, and when the inner plate 30 is fitted into the container main body 10, the upper surface of the container body 10 is is closed to form a window hole. Furthermore, on the lower surface of the circumferential flange 32 that covers the upper surface of this cut recess 12,
An inclined surface portion 34 having a downward slope toward the inner side of the inner plate is formed.

[Effect]

In a state where the inner plate 30 is fitted and held within the container body 10, a removal tool such as a currency coin is inserted into the window-shaped notch recess 12,
When the tip of the coin is brought into contact with and pressed against the inclined surface part 34 on the side of the inner plate 30, an upward force is applied to the inner plate 30, and the engaging claw part 33 on the side of the inner plate 30 is pressed against the inclined surface part 34 on the side of the inner plate 30.
It comes off from the locking claw 14 on the side, and the inner plate 30 is disengaged.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the compact container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, the container body 10 and the lid 20 are configured such that their respective circular peripheral walls 11 and 21 are connected to each other by a hinge portion 40 so that the container body 10 and the lid 20 can be opened freely. As is clear from FIG. 2, the structure of the container main body 10 is such that a notch recess 12 is provided in the rear peripheral wall 11 adjacent to the hinge part 40 in a concave shape from the upper edge, and a bottom 13 of the notch recess 12 is provided. is formed flat. Further, the width dimension of the notch recess 12 is such that, for example, a currency coin C or the like can be engaged therein.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a locking pawl 14 for engaging and holding the inner plate 30 in FIG. 3 is provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall 11 directly below the notch recess 12. However, the installation location of the locking pawl 14 is not limited to the location directly below the notch recess 12 as in the embodiment, but may be two locations distributed on both sides of the notch recess 12. Others, locking claw 1
On the front peripheral wall 11 opposite to 4, there is a closed lid 2
A lock button 15 for locking 0 is provided.

On the lid 20 side, a lock claw 22 is provided protruding from the front inner surface of the peripheral wall 21 at a position corresponding to the lock button 15 on the container body 10 side, and the lid 20 is closed by engaging with the lock button 15. It's starting to lock. Additionally, a mirror 23 is provided on the inner surface of the lid body 20.
is attached.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2, the container body 10 holds an inner tray 30 that fits into the peripheral wall 11 and stores cosmetics and the like. A circumferential flange 32 is provided around the storage portion 31 of the inner plate 30, and the inner plate 30 is held inside the container body 10 by bringing the circumferential flange 32 into close contact with the upper edge of the peripheral wall 11 of the container body 10. It's becoming like that. Furthermore, engaging claw portions 33 are provided protruding from the lower surfaces of the peripheral flanges 32 on both the front and rear sides of the inner plate 30, respectively.

That is, the rear engaging claw portion 33 is formed to have a width approximately equal to the width of the notch recess 12 on the side of the container body 10, and the portion of the periphery 32 corresponding to the engaging claw portion 33 is formed in the notch recess 12. The upper opening is closed. And the circumference of this part 32
An inclined surface portion 34 is provided on the lower surface of the inner plate and is inclined downwardly toward the inner side of the inner plate, and the engaging claws 33c are connected to each other. This engaging claw portion 33 is connected to the container body 10.
A locking claw 14 provided directly below the side notch recess 12
However, as described above, when the locking claws 14 on the container body 10 side are distributed to both sides of the cut recess 12, the configuration corresponds to this. By the engagement between the engaging claw portion 33 and the locking claw 14, the inner plate 30 held on the container body 10 via the flange 32 is locked.

Next, as shown in FIG. 1, a manner in which the inner plate 30 is removed from a state in which the engaging claw 33c is engaged with the locking claw 14 and the inner plate 30 is held in the container body 10 will be described.

When the inner plate 30 is fitted and held in the container body 10, the flange 32 of the inner plate 30 covers the upper surface of the cut recess 12 of the container main body 10, and the cut recess 1
2 is shaped like a square window hole with the upper opening closed. For example, prepare a currency coin C that can be inserted into the window hole-shaped notch recess 12, and when this coin C is inserted into the window hole of the notch recess 12 from a substantially horizontal direction as shown in the figure and pressed, the coin C
The tip of the inner plate 30 comes into contact with the slope of the inclined surface portion 34 of the inner plate 30, and a force is applied to the inner plate 30 to lift it upward. Due to this force, the engaging claw 33c on the inner plate 30 side
comes off from the locking claw 14 on the container body 10 side, and the inner plate 3
0 is lifted and removed from the container body 10.

In the embodiment, a currency coin C is used as a tool for removing the inner plate 30, but it goes without saying that various small tools may be used in place of the currency coin C.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the compact container according to the present invention, the small tools inserted into the through hole for removing the inner plate on the main body of the container are limited to specific tools such as needles and pins as in the conventional case. The inner plate can be easily removed from the container body by using nearby props such as currency coins as leverage members.
