Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is well known that a cosmetic compact has a lid hinged to the body, and the two engage when the lid is closed.

Normally, the body and lid of this type of food are butted against each other, and the securing structure is such that a protrusion is provided at the tip of the lid that slightly covers the body side, and the inner side of the protrusion and the corresponding body Protrusions or grooves that engage with each other are provided at appropriate positions on the sides of the lid, so that the two sides engage with each other when the lid is closed, thereby preventing the natural gap between the lids.

However, in this case, the engagement relies exclusively on extremely slight elastic deformation of the body and lid, so not only does the engagement tend to become stiff, but each part requires high dimensional accuracy, making assembly difficult and It had the drawback of poor retention and high cost.

The present invention attempts to eliminate such conventional drawbacks.

The illustrated embodiment will be described below.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show different embodiments, but both show compacts in which a lid 2 is hinged 3 to a body 1, and both lids butt against each other when closed. A cutout-like recess 8 is provided in the front end surface of the lid 2, and an engaging protrusion 4 is provided in the recess 8, and a through hole 9 is vertically bored in the front end of the lid 2 located above the recess 8. A decorative plate 5 attached to the outer surface of the lid 2 projects and hangs an engaging protrusion 6 that engages the engaging protrusion 4, and loosely inserts it into the through hole 9 to close the lid. Accordingly, the engaging protrusion 6 is made to engage with the engaging protrusion 4.

In the one shown in FIG. 1, the decorative plate 5 is made of a metal plate, and the engaging protrusion 6 protrudes from a part of its periphery, is bent downward, and is engaged with the inner surface of its tip. A recessed portion for engagement with the mating protrusion 4 is formed in a bent manner.

Note that the metal plate in this case may be aluminum, etc.
It is more effective if the material is highly elastic.

In addition, in the one shown in FIG. 2, the decorative plate 5 is made of a suitable synthetic resin, and the engaging protrusion 6 is integrally hung from a part of the back surface near the periphery, and the engaging protrusion 6 is provided on the inner surface of the tip. A mating convex portion is formed on the strip 4.

According to the present invention, the engaging protrusion 6 is provided protrudingly from the decorative plate 5, is inserted through the through hole 9 of the lid 2, projects downward, and engages the engaging protrusion 4 of the other party when the lid is closed. Since the engaging protrusion 6 can be made long and have sufficient elasticity and flexibility, there is no need to rely on forced elastic deformation of the body or the lid as in the conventional case, and therefore, the engaging protrusion 6 can be made long. It doesn't get hard,
Each part does not require high dimensional accuracy, making assembly easier, improving yield, and reducing costs.

Further, since the decorative plate 5 is used, no other members are required.
