Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a compact container for cosmetics, etc., and in particular, a dish filled with cosmetics is formed separately from the compact body, and this dish is detachably attached to the container of the compact. This relates to a type of compact container.

In conventional compact containers, cosmetics are filled into the container itself, and once the filled cosmetics have been used up, the compact containers have been considered disposable.

However, compact containers themselves can withstand longer-term use, so they cannot be said to meet the recent demands for resource conservation, and even consumers do not have to buy new compact containers when they run out of cosmetics. It was a shame that it was uneconomical because we had to buy it.

This is particularly noticeable in the case of products that reflect recent demand trends, such as two or more types of cosmetics or two or more cosmetics of the same type packed into one compact container.

Therefore, in response to this situation, cosmetics are recently filled in a tray formed separately from the compact body, and this tray is removably attached to the container.When the cosmetics are used up, only this tray can be removed and makeup can be applied. A separate tray filled with food is now available with a new attachment.

In this type of compact container, the container, which occupies a large proportion of the volume, and the main body, which is hollowed out from the lid, can be used continuously, so compared to the disposable type mentioned above, it saves resources and is more economical. It can be said that it is excellent.

However, in conventional compact containers of this type, the tray filled with cosmetics is attached to the recess of the container using adhesive or double-sided tape, and when removed, a hole is punched in the bottom of the recess. The problem is that it is necessary to insert a needle or the like into the hole from the back side and press it, making it troublesome to replace the plate.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to create a compact device that allows only the dish filled with cosmetics to be replaced, and that allows the replacement process to be carried out extremely easily and smoothly. There are containers to provide.

Hereinafter, a compact container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a compact container according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a synthetic resin container, and 2 is connected to the container by a hinge at the rear edge thereof so as to be openable and closable. The synthetic resin lids 1 and 2 are shown in FIG. This causes the lid to assume a closed position relative to the container.

From the center to the rear of the container 1, a plurality of relatively small recesses 5, 5, which are rectangular in plan are formed in parallel, and the side walls 6, 6 of each recess 5 are formed in parallel. Horizontal step portions 7, 7 are formed in the portion, and the lower portion thereof is a full 8,8, and the upper portion thereof is an inclined surface 9, 9.

Further, the front end wall 10 of each recess 5 is cut out at both ends ii, i1 up to the bottom surface of the recess, thereby imparting flexibility to the front end wall.

In front of the 01j end walls 10, 10, . . ., horizontally long and relatively large recesses 12 are formed over the front end of the container 1, and cosmetic tools such as brushes can be stored therein.

-・The recesses 5, 5... are fitted with synthetic resin σ) Iln frames 13, 13... filled with cosmetics, and are provided on a part of both sides of the narrow frame. The ridges 14, 14 are provided on the side walls 6, 6 of the recess 5 as shown in FIG.
, 7 to be locked in the recess.

The front surface E- of this narrow frame 13 is a tapered surface 15 that slopes inward from above as shown in Figure 2.
The locking position of the narrow frame is formed such that the upper end of the front end wall 10 of the recess 5 comes into contact with the tip of the tapered surface.

Preferably, a flange 16 is provided at the upper edge of the narrow frame 13,
In the locking position, the lower surface of the flange 16 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the container 1 along the outer periphery of the recess 5.

In the compact container configured as described above, when any of the cosmetics filled in the narrow frames 13, 13, . . . runs out, only that narrow frame can be easily replaced.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the front end wall 10 of the recess 5 is pressed backward with a finger or the like from the front recess 12, the flexible front end wall bends backward and its upper end is pushed into the recess. It slides along the front tapered surface 15 of the narrow frame 13 fitted into the plate frame 5, thereby generating a force that tends to lift the pan frame upward.

Due to this force, the engagement between the protrusion 14 of the narrow frame and the stepped portion 7 of the recess 5 is elastically released, and a portion of the narrow frame 13 pops out from the recess 5. It can be freely removed from the recess 5 by pinching it.

In order to attach another narrow frame filled with cosmetics to the recess 5 of L2, the tapered surface 15 of the narrow frame 13 should be placed forward, and the protrusions 14 and 14 on the side should be placed above the step 7 of the recess 5. Inclined surface 9,
9 and press the upper edge of the thin frame from above with your finger.

By doing this, the protrusions 14.14 of the narrow frame 13 engage with the steps 7, 7 of the recess 5, and the narrow frame is locked in the recess, thus inserting the new narrow frame into the container 1. It can be fixed easily.

In the illustrated embodiment, since the flange 16 is formed on the edge of the narrow frame 13, the narrow frame 1
After releasing the lock of 3, when the frame 1 is picked up with fingers and taken out, the flange 16 or H becomes good.

In addition, even when the press frame 13 is attached to the container 1, it does not look good, and when fitting the narrow frame 13 into the recess 5, it is difficult to press the flange 16. It becomes possible to perform the replacement work even more easily.

Further, in the above embodiment, the stepped portion 7 of the recess 5 and the protrusion 14 of the narrow frame 13 are provided on a part of the side wall and the side surface, respectively, but it is also possible to provide these over the entire area. There is no problem if it is provided, and if it is provided in a part, it is preferably located as far forward as possible.

It should be noted that the frames attached to the gates and windows formed on the container 1 can be of any number depending on the type and number of colors of cosmetics to be stored. It is.

As mentioned above, the compact container according to the present invention is:
A container is formed with a plurality of relatively small recesses in parallel, horizontal locking portions are provided on at least a portion of both side walls of the recesses, and both ends of the front end wall are provided with vertical locking portions. The front end wall has a relatively large concave portion in front of it, and has a tapered surface on the front surface and horizontal protrusions on at least part of both sides. The frame is inserted into each of the recesses and is locked by engagement between the locking portion and the protrusion, and in the locking position, the upper end of the front end wall of the recess is in contact with the tapered surface of the separate frame. When the front end wall is pressed toward the rear, a force is applied to lift the separate frame upward, thereby releasing the engagement between the locking portion and the protrusion, so that the separate frame can be attached to the separate frame. When the filled cosmetic is used up, the compact container can be used by replacing only the separate frame with another one, and the front end wall of the recess can be pushed backward by pointing from the front recess. The separate frame can be taken out using the holder, and in order to fix the separate frame to the container, it is only necessary to push it into the recess. This makes it possible to replace the separate frame extremely easily and smoothly, making it possible to replace the separate frame with the same method as before. There is no need to use adhesive or double-sided tape, or to prepare a needle or the like to remove a separate frame.

In addition, if a flange is formed on the upper edge of the separate frame, and the flange is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the recess at the locking position, it will not only be possible to attach it to the recess with good posture. This makes it easier to replace the separate frame, which is very convenient in practice.
