Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] "Industrial application field" This case concerns compact containers for cosmetics.

``Prior Art'' Compact cosmetic containers usually have a container body and a lid that opens and closes the top of the container body pivoted at each rear edge, and an engagement part attached to the front surface of the container body is connected from the front surface of the lid body. When the vertical hook is engaged to maintain the closed state of the lid relative to the container body, and the finger hooks provided on the front surfaces of the container body and the lid are pushed in the opposite direction, the engaging portion and the hook are engaged. It is provided so that the lid can be opened by disengaging the lid.

By the way, the container body and the lid are each integrally molded from a synthetic resin material, but when they are molded, they are injected into a mold in a high temperature molten state and cooled to form a product, so the engaging part and the lid are molded together. It was difficult to achieve precision in the engaging portion, and as a result, the engagement was often too strong. In order to eliminate these drawbacks, recently a rotator has been pivoted to the front wall of the container body,
When the lower part of the rotator is pushed backward, a push-up plate protruding from the rear surface of the rotor pushes up a hook or the like hanging vertically from the lid, thereby engaging the container body and the lid. There are known devices that are designed to remove the

``Problems to be solved by the invention'' A rotator is pivotally mounted on the front surface of the container body, and when the lower part of the rotor is pushed in, a push-up plate that protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the rotor is moved to the lid. Conventional compact containers are designed to open the lid by pushing up a hook that hangs down from the front of the container body and engages with an engaging element on the front of the container body. Since it has to be pivoted to both the left and right wall surfaces of the recess provided in the front wall of the container body, it has been impossible to reduce the height of the container body's peripheral wall very much.

This study eliminates the above drawbacks.

"Means for solving the problem" The container body 1 and the lid 2 are pivotally connected at each rear edge, and an engaging strip 4 is attached to the front surface of the container body front wall 3.
by engaging the hook 5 hanging down from the front part of the lid,
In a compact cosmetic container with a lid kept in a closed state, a sliding rod 6 is inserted into the front surface of the front wall of the container body so as to be able to slide freely in the left and right directions for a certain distance, and a hole is formed in the upper surface of the sliding rod. The hook 5 is inserted into the recess 9 provided, and at least one side of the recess 9 is formed into a slope 10 that rises upward and outward, and the slope 10 pushes the lower end of the hook 5 by sliding of the sliding rod. It is formed such that it can be lifted up to disengage from the engagement with the engagement strip 4.

"Operation" From the state in which the lid is closed by engaging the hook 5 hanging down from the front part of the lid 2 with the engagement strip 4 attached to the front surface of the front wall 3 of the container body, When the sliding rod 6 is slid, the slope 10 on the side of the recess 9 formed in the upper surface of the sliding rod pushes up the lower end of the hook 5 inserted into the recess, and as a result of this pushing up, the hook 5 moves upward. It is removed from the engagement strip 4 and then the lid body 2
can be opened as shown in Figure 1. Further, when the lid body 2 is pushed down against the container body from the state shown in FIG. 4. Note that the sliding member may be returned to its original position prior to pressing down the lid.

``Example'' 1 is a container body, and 2 is a lid for opening and closing the upper surface of the container body. An engagement strip 4 is attached to the upper edge of the middle part in the left-right direction of the front wall 3 of the container body, and from the front part of the lid 2, the engagement strip 4 engages with the lower surface of the engagement strip to close the lid. A hook 5 for holding the is suspended.

In the above-mentioned compact container, the present invention has a sliding rod 6 fitted to the front surface of the front wall 3 of the container main body in a dovetail shape so that it can freely slide a certain distance in the left and right direction. 7
8 is a dovetail groove, and a dovetail groove may be provided on either the front wall or the sliding rod. A recess 9 is bored in the upper surface of the sliding rod 6. A hook 5 is provided in the recess so that it can be inserted, and the left and right side surfaces of the recess are formed into slopes 10, 10 rising upward and outward from both left and right ends of the bottom of the recess, respectively. These slopes are formed by sliding the sliding rod 6 in the left-right direction with respect to the container body 1 from the state in which the hook 5 engages with the engagement strip 4, so that the lower end of the hook touches the slope 10 and is pushed up. , is provided so that the engagement with the engagement strip 4 is released by pushing it up. The slope 10 may be provided only on one of the left and right sides of the recess.

"Effect of the invention" The present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and by the sliding of the sliding rod 6 inserted into the front wall of the container body, the slope on the side of the recess provided on the upper surface of the sliding rod is Since the hook 5 that maintains the closed state is pushed up and disengaged from the engagement strip 4, the sliding rod can be installed even if the front wall of the container body is low, and the container can be made thinner. You can.
