Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact, and in particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic compact that can be easily and safely unlocked by improving the locking mechanism of the lid.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, 1 is a rectangular dish-shaped container for filling and storing cosmetics, 2 is a lid pivotally attached to the rear of the container 1 with a hinge 3, and Reference numeral 4 denotes a locking member for locking the lid, which is pivotally mounted to the center of the front surface of the lid 2 so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction.

The container body 1 has a concave front center, and an engagement plate 5 protrudes from the front upper center of the recess.

The lid 2 also has a concave front center so that a rectangular storage recess can be formed at the center of the front part of the container with the recess on the side of the container body 1, and the front lower part of the recess An engagement plate 6 that overlaps the upper surface of the engagement plate 5 is projected from the center, and a lower part of the hanging peripheral wall 7 hanging from the periphery is cut out from the right side of the front recess to the front. A support shaft 8 is suspended from the top wall at the corner. Note that 9 indicates a mirror.

The locking member 4 has a rectangular external shape with an engaging hole 10 hollowed out from the center of the back surface into which the engaging plates 5 and 6 are inserted slightly firmly, and extends from the middle of the right outer surface to the hanging peripheral wall 7 of the lid. A support plate 11 located in the notch protrudes, and is pivotally connected to the support shaft 8 by the support plate 11 and is attached to the front recess of the lid 2 so as to be horizontally rotatable.

In the above, the lock member 4 is normally stored in the recess at the front of the container as shown by the solid line in the figure, and in this state, its engagement hole 10 engages with the overlapping engagement plates 5 and 6. These are clamped from the top and bottom and the lid 2 is locked. Therefore, in order to open the lid, all that is required is to grasp the upper and lower surfaces of the locking member 4 with your fingers, rotate the locking member 4, and pull it forward as shown by the broken line to release the restraint of the engagement plates 5 and 6.

Conventionally, the lids of cosmetic compacts have often been locked using a clasp that engages with an engaging protrusion, but since this clasp is extremely small, it is not only troublesome to adjust the engagement to obtain the proper engagement. The unlocking operation is also inconvenient, and if the lock is too tight, it can even damage your fingertips and nails.

However, in the present invention, it is only necessary to rotate the lock member 4 by grasping its relatively wide upper and lower surfaces with the pads of the fingers, which makes the operation easy and safe since there is no risk of damaging the fingertips or nails. Further, the locking mechanism of the locking member 4 and the engaging plates 5 and 6 is considerably larger than a conventional stopper, and the engagement adjustment of the lock is easy.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model claims] The front center of the container body 1 for filling cosmetics and its lid 2 is concave to form a rectangular storage recess in the front part of the container, and from the upper front surface of the container body 1 and the lower front surface of the lid 2 of the recess. Engagement plates 5 and 6 overlapping each other are respectively protruded, and an engagement hole 8 into which the engagement plates 5 and 6 are inserted is hollowed out from the back side to provide a locking member 4 having a rectangular parallelepiped shape to be stored in the storage recess, A cosmetic compact in which the locking member 4 is pivotally attached to the front part of the lid 2 so as to be horizontally rotatable on one side.
