During molding of No. 1, there is a problem in that non-uniform wall thickness causes sink marks in thick portions, increasing the incidence of defective products. In addition, since the inner plate 23 is removed from the container body 21 by pushing up the flange portion 27 by hand, the width of the flange portion 27 must be adjusted so that the width of the flange portion 27 is smaller than that of the large concave portion 23. and the thickness of the partition wall between the small recess 24 and the edge of the flange 27 into the large recess 24.
It must protrude to the side. As a result, the flange portion 27 is formed in a large size, and a problem arises in that the inner tray 23 has a large number of useless parts other than the cosmetic storage area.

This idea was developed in view of these circumstances, and by making the wall thickness of the container body almost uniform, it reduces the incidence of defective products and is compact enough to simplify the shape of the inner plate. Its purpose is to provide.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the compact of this invention includes a container main body, a lid body, and a plate-shaped inner frame installed along the peripheral wall surface within the container main body,
The compact is equipped with an inner plate that is attached to the inner frame in the form of a plate frame, and has a cutout at the lower end of one wall of the inner frame, and a recess in the wall opposite to the wall on which the cutout is provided. A cutout hole extending along one wall surface of the container body is provided in a bottom portion of the container body corresponding to the cutout portion, and a cutout hole extending along one wall surface of the container body is provided so as to be located within the cutout portion of the inner frame. An engaging claw is provided that rises from the edge of the container, and a plurality of protrusions are provided on the inner bottom surface of the container body between the edge side where the notch hole is provided and the opposite side, extending across the container body. A recess into which the protrusion can fit is formed on the bottom surface of the inner plate, a protrusion that fits into the recess of the inner frame is provided on one side of the inner plate, and a recess into which the protrusion can fit is formed on the other side. The structure includes an engaging protrusion that engages with an engaging claw located at.

[Effect]

In other words, in this compact, the storage part of the inner tray is not configured with a recess provided on the top surface of the container body, as in the conventional example, but the inner frame is attached along the inner wall surface of the container body, and the container body is A fixing mechanism for removably fixing the inner plate is provided at the bottom of the frame, and the inner plate is fixed in the inner frame.
Therefore, since the inner frame has a plate frame shape and is thin, a large storage space for the inner plate can be secured, and the size of the inner plate can be maintained while reducing the overall size. Furthermore, since the container body itself does not have a space for accommodating the inner plate, the container body can be made thinner, and as a result, the occurrence of defective products due to sink marks is reduced, for example, during molding of the container body. In addition, even when storing multiple medium plates in the container body, each medium plate is firmly fixed by the medium plate fixing mechanism, so there is no need to provide a partition wall between each storage part of the medium plate, and the container The structure of the main body becomes simpler. Further, when removing the inner plate, it can be easily removed by inserting a coin or the like into the notch hole at the bottom of the container body and pushing it upward.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the compact of this invention, the inner frame is attached within the container body, the side wall of the container body is formed thin, and there is no space for partitions. Therefore, the thick portion of the container body is reduced, and the thickness of the entire container body can be made substantially uniform. As a result, sink marks do not occur, for example, during plastic molding of the container body. In addition, since the inner frame 3 acts as a buffer material, the cosmetic stored in the inner tray 9 is less likely to crack even if an impact is applied to the compact. Further, even when a plurality of inner plates are housed in the container body, there is no need to provide partition walls between the respective housing portions of the inner plates, and the structure of the container body is simplified. Also,
The inner tray can be easily removed by inserting a coin or the like into a notch formed in the bottom of the container body and pushing it upward. In particular, in this invention, the notch hole is not only used to remove the inner plate using a coin, but also used as a vent for air to flow into the container body, and the ribs on the container body are used to create a recess in the inner plate. It is used for positioning and fixing the inner plate by fitting into the inner plate, and at the same time is used as a fin for air circulation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cosmetics in the compact from deteriorating during high temperature and humidity in summer. In addition, the engaging claw of the container body is provided at the edge of the notch hole provided at the bottom of the container body, and the elasticity of the edge can be utilized. In addition to the elasticity, the elasticity of the edge comes into play, thereby making it possible to securely and removably fix the inner plate to the container body. Moreover, this also absorbs variations in the engagement protrusions of the inner plate.
