Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a compact container, and more particularly to a compact container with an improved opening method.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, a compact container for storing cosmetics and the like has a body and a lid which are formed with engaging portions at predetermined positions and which can be opened and closed via a hinge portion. The compact container can be held in a hermetically closed state by engaging the engaging portions formed on each other with each other, and the compact container can be opened by releasing the engagement of the engaging portions.

In the above-mentioned compact container, if the engagement of the engagement part is weak, the lid may be opened carelessly, and the body and the lid may not be sealed, and dust in the air may enter the compact container.
For this reason, the engaging portions are formed in such a shape and size that they can be closely meshed with each other.

However, when the compact container is provided with the engaging portion as described above, a great amount of force is required to open the lid. Therefore, various mechanisms for opening the lid of such a compact container have been conventionally proposed.

In the compact container as described above, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-18167, mounting shafts are provided on both side surfaces of the operating member so that the mounting shafts are fitted into the mounting holes formed in the container body for operation. A member is provided so as to be vertically rotatable with respect to the container body, and a technique in which the hook is disengaged by pushing up the standing piece by the pusher, or, as shown in JP-A-61-12005, A spacer is provided, bearing recesses are bored on the upper surface of the spacer, and pin shafts provided at both left and right ends of the rotary plate are fitted into the bearing recesses to rotatably provide the rotary plate.
A technique in which, when the front part of the rotary plate is pushed down, the rear part of the rotary plate pushes up the lower surface of the lid body by the rotation around the pin axis to disengage the first and second engaging elements, or
There is a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-193166.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> In all of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, a releasing member for releasing the engagement of the hooks is rotatably provided on the body of the container, and therefore, a shaft serving as a rotation fulcrum. Alternatively, the bearing portion is integrally formed with the release member or the body of the container.

In order to form such a shaft or bearing on the body,
There is a problem in that the forming portion requires a shaft diameter and a thickness several times as large as the shaft diameter, so that the body must be thickened.

Further, in order to form the shaft or bearing described above, there is a problem that the mold for molding the releasing member or the body has a complicated shape, and thus the cost of the mold increases.

Further, without forming the shaft integrally with the release member or the body,
Although some hinge pins are used, in this case, there is a problem in that the hinge pin is visible from the outside, impairing the aesthetic appearance, and the cost is increased.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to reliably disengage the engaging portion with a hook piece having a simple shape and to reduce the overall thickness. To provide a container.
