Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION “Industrial field of application” The present invention relates to a cosmetic container such as a cosmetic compact and a cosmetic palette.

"Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices" Cosmetics in which a flat body and a lid are pivotally attached at a rear portion, a lid locking means is provided at a front portion, and a push button for releasing the locking is provided. Cosmetic containers such as compact and cosmetic palettes are already well known.

One of them is a lever-shaped release push button arranged in a notch formed in the lid so that it can be pushed down and pivotally attached to the lid, which is excellent in that the lid can be opened with a piano touch. (Public Publication No. 58-36326).

However, in this case, the lever-shaped release push button still has the tongue protruding rearward from the push button, and its end is pivotally attached to the lid, but the tongue is also exposed on the upper surface. For,
It looks really bad.

In particular, compact cosmetics, cosmetic palettes, and the like have a high degree of taste rather than practicality, and the higher the content, the higher the quality and the high aesthetics of the container. Under such circumstances, the unsightly things are shunned and won, and they cannot contribute to the development of industry.

The push button pivotally attached to the lid is too inconvenient when the lid is opened and hangs down by its own weight. Therefore, the push button needs to be pulled up each time the lid is closed, which is inconvenient.

Have problems such as.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention pivotally attaches a flat body 1 and a lid 2 at a rear portion, and bulges a front wall 11 of the body 1 rearward at a proper position. A recess 12 for inserting a push button that opens upward is formed in the portion, and an engaging protrusion 13 is provided at the rear portion of the inner peripheral surface of the recess, and the lid 2 is provided.
An engaging piece 21 that engages with the engaging protrusion 13 from an appropriate position on the lower surface of the front part of the
And a notch 23 is formed immediately before the engaging piece 21 so as to correspond to the recess 12, and a push button 3 insertable into the recess 2 is arranged in the notch so as to be movable downward. A pair of left and right tongues 31 and 31 are projected rearward from the rear surface and extend to the inside of the lid 2, and the tip ends of both tongues are pivotally moved downward to the bearings 24 and 24 provided on the lower surface of the lid 2. And the lower surfaces of both tongues are brought into contact with the upper surface of the front wall 11 of the body 1, and a stopper 22 for preventing excessive lowering of the push button 3 is provided on the front surface of the lower end of the engaging piece 21. .

[Operation] Because of the above configuration, when the lid is opened, first, the push button 3 is operated to disengage the engagement protrusion 13 of the body 1 from the engagement piece 21 of the lid 2. The push button operation is performed by pressing down the push button 3 with one finger such as an index finger on a desk or the like, or by pinching the push button 3 and the front part of the body 1 with the index finger and thumb and holding the push button 3 with reaction force to the body 1. You can press down on the tongue
Then, the lever action is generated, and the engagement between the engagement protrusion 13 and the engagement piece 21 is released. After that, pinch the lid 2 or push button 3
And pull the lid open.

When the lid 2 is opened, the push button 3 that has descended is
Will prevent an excessive fall.

Next, at the time of closing the lid, the lid 2 may be simply pushed down, whereby the engaging protrusion 13 and the engaging piece 21 are again engaged and held. Further, the pushed push button 3 is pushed up by the upper surface of the front wall 11 of the body 1 and returns to the original position.

[Example] The drawings show a makeup palette made of synthetic resin according to the present invention.

In the illustrated makeup pallet, a flat and oblong rectangular body 1 and a lid 2 are pivotally attached to a rear portion by a shaft 4.

In the body 1, a central portion of the front wall 11 is widely bulged rearward, and a push button inserting recess 12 that opens upward is formed in this portion, and an engaging protrusion 13 is formed at the center of the rear portion of the inner peripheral surface of the recess. Is provided.

The lid 2 has an engaging piece 21 that engages with the engaging protrusion 13 vertically provided from a proper position on the lower surface of the front portion, and a notch 23 is formed immediately in front of the engaging piece so as to correspond to the recess 12. A flat push button 3 which can be inserted into the recess 2 is vertically movably arranged in the notch, and a pair of left and right tongue pieces 31, 31 are projected rearward from both lower edges of the rear surface of the push button to cover the lid 2.
Of the tongue pieces, and a pair of cantilevered shafts 32, 32 projectingly provided on the outer surfaces of the ends of the tongues. The upper surfaces of the tongue pieces 31, 31 are in contact with the inner surface of the lid 2, and the lower surfaces thereof are in contact with the upper surface of the front wall 11 of the body 1, respectively.

Further, a stopper 22 for preventing excessive depression of the push button 3 is integrally provided on the lower edge of the front surface of the engaging piece 21 so as to have a hook shape in a vertical cross section.

[Advantage of Invention] According to the present invention, the push button 3 can be operated very easily because the reaction force can be applied to the front part of the body 1.
By the lever action of the tongue pieces 31, 31, the engagement between the engagement projection piece 13 and the engagement piece 21 can be easily disengaged, and further, the lid 2 can be swiftly pulled up after that, and therefore, it is easy. The lid can be opened, one-handed operation is possible, and the lid can be closed simply by pushing down the lid 2, and in addition, the following effects can be obtained:
Initial problems can be solved.

i) Bearings 24, 24 in which the tongue pieces 31, 31 protruding rearward from the push button are extended to the inside of the lid 2 and the tip ends thereof are provided on the lower surface of the lid 2.
Since it is pivotally attached to the outside, it is not exposed to the outside and looks good. Therefore, the higher the taste and the higher the content of the contents, the more compact and cosmetic palettes, etc., which are required to have a high-grade feeling and aesthetic beauty of hardness. Can also contribute to the development of.

ii) Further, since the stopper 22 for preventing excessive depression of the push button 3 is provided on the front surface of the lower end portion of the engagement piece 21, the push button 3 pivotally attached to the lid 2 has a predetermined rotation range when the lid is opened. It is retained inside and therefore does not hang down too much by its own weight, and there is no inconvenience of pulling up the push button each time the lid is closed.

iii) Moreover, it suffices if the stopper 22 is attached to the front surface of the lower end portion of the engaging piece 21, and it can be formed simply and at low cost.
