Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] This invention relates to a cosmetic container capable of obtaining a three-dimensional image using a hologram.

[Background technology]

Generally, a cosmetic container such as a compact is constructed by attaching a lid body having a mirror on the back surface to a container body that accommodates the cosmetic material so that it can be opened and closed freely by a hinge. Such cosmetic containers are usually decorated with designs such as letters and patterns on the back surface of the lid, around the mirror, and the like. However, although some of these designs have a somewhat uneven pattern, they are flat and have not reached the level of imparting a strong sense of beauty to the user. If a strong sense of beauty can be imparted to the user, an increase in demand can be expected.

[Purpose of invention]

The purpose of this invention is to provide a cosmetic container that can impart an intense sense of beauty to the user.

[Disclosure of invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the cosmetic container of this invention is provided with a lid having a hologram on the container body, which can be opened and closed with a hinge structure, and the container body is irradiated with the hologram of the lid in the open state. The light emitting element is provided with a light emitting element, and a battery is provided to supply power to the light emitting element via a switch.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail based on examples.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of this invention. In the figure, 1 is a cosmetic container, and the container body 2
The lid body 3 is attached to the lid body 3 via a hinge 4 so as to be openable and closable. The lid 3 is configured to open from the closed state to an angle of about 120 degrees by the action of the hinge 4. The back surface is divided into two parts, a mirror 5 is provided on one side, and a plane reflection type hologram 6 is formed on the other side.

Here, a hologram is a light wave (signal wave) that is diffracted by a laser beam irradiated onto an object.
A separate laser beam (reference wave) is added obliquely to the
Both interference fringes are recorded on a photosensitive material (film). Since the production of holograms is such a time-consuming process, the hologram produced as described above is usually used as an original hologram, and a copy is made by attaching a raw film to the original hologram and exposing it to laser light. Alternatively, a photoresist or the like is transferred from the original hologram to create an uneven hologram, which is then stamped (embossed) onto a film or the like using a stamper to make a copy and used.
In the case of producing a copy of a hologram in the former manner, all of the raw film that is in close contact with the original hologram is opaque, so all the holograms of the resulting copy are reflective. When producing a copy hologram in the latter manner, a transparent plastic film can be used as the object for embossing, so a transmission type hologram can be produced.

What is attached to the lid 3 is a reflection type copy hologram 6 produced in the former manner. Reference numeral 7 denotes a lamp box provided on the upper surface of the container body 2, and a lamp 7a for irradiating the hologram 6 is mounted inside thereof facing obliquely upward. The lamp box 7 is configured to be able to rotate intermittently around its base, and along with the intermittently rotating, the lamp 7a also rotates intermittently while facing diagonally upward. Reference numeral 8 denotes a thin disk-shaped battery that supplies power to the lamp 7a of the lamp box 7 via a lead wire (not shown), and is a lithium battery,
It is composed of a mercury battery, etc., and the container body 2
The battery is replaceably housed in a battery housing recess formed on the top surface of the battery. 8a is a cover for the battery accommodating recess, which is detachably attached. 9,1
0 is a push button switch (see Figure 2).
The push button switch 9 is turned on when not pressed, and turned off when pressed. Conversely, the push button switch 10 is turned on when pressed, and turned off when released. These push button switches 9, 10, lamp 7a and battery 8
The circuit diagram is shown in Figure 3. Further, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 12 denotes a lever for pressing the push button switch 10, and its base 12a is inserted into the lever mounting recess 11, and a shaft ( hidden and invisible)
is fitted into the shaft hole (hidden and invisible) of the recess 10, and is designed to rotate up and down about the shaft. Reference numeral 12 denotes a leaf spring that constantly biases the lever mounting recess 11 downward. This lever 12
The push button switch 10 is kept pressed by the pressing force of the leaf spring 13 until the cover 3 opens at a right angle from the closed state. As a result of the upward rotation of the bottom surface of the lever mounting recess 11, it comes into contact with the bottom surface of the recess 11 and is lifted upward, releasing the pressure on the switch 10 and turning it off. In FIG. 1, 14 is a locking piece provided downward on the front part of the lid body 3, and 15 is a locking recess provided on the front part of the main body 2. By fitting and locking into the locking recess 15, the closed state of the lid 3 is maintained. Reference numeral 16 indicates a cosmetic storage section provided inside the main body 2, and reference numeral 17 indicates a cosmetic applicator storage recess.

Next, the operation of this cosmetic container 1 will be explained.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the lid 3 is open, the push button switch 10 (see FIG. 2)
is pressed by the lever 12, so it is turned on, but the other push button switch 9 is turned off by pressing the lid 3, so the electric circuit is cut off, and the lamp 7a is turned off. The light goes off. Next, the fifth
As shown in the figure, when the lid 3 is opened at an angle smaller than 90 degrees from the closed state, the push button switch 9 is released from the pressure of the lid 3 and turns on. At this time, the push button switch 10 continues to be pressed by the lever 12 and maintains the switch-on state. As a result, the electric circuit becomes conductive, and the lamp 7a lights up to illuminate the hologram 6. This irradiation causes the image of the hologram 6 to stand out sharply and appear three-dimensional and vivid. Next, as shown in FIG. 6, when the lid body 3 is opened beyond 90 degrees (the lid body 3 is fully opened at an opening angle of 120 degrees), the lever 12 is moved from the bottom of the mounting recess 11. Since the push button switch 10 is pushed upward and the pressure on the push button switch 10 is released, the push button switch 10 is turned off. At this time, the other push button switch 9 maintains the switch on state, but since the push button switch 10 is switched off, the electric circuit is cut off and the lamp 7a is turned off. Therefore, the user can apply makeup by reflecting his or her face in the mirror 5 on the back of the lid. That is, in this cosmetic container 1, the lid 3 is opened and the hologram 6 is irradiated with the lamp 7a until the opening angle reaches 90 degrees to make a three-dimensional image appear.When the opening angle exceeds 90 degrees, the lamp 7a is illuminated. The light is turned off so that the mirror 5 can be used.

The lamp 7a is rotated intermittently by intermittent rotation of the lamp box 7, so with the lid 3 fully open, the lamp box 7 is rotated to direct the lamp 7a toward the user's face. Then, by pressing the push button switch 10 with a fingertip, the user's face can be illuminated with the lamp 7a. Therefore, it becomes possible to apply makeup in a dark place. In some cases, it can also be used as a substitute for a flashlight.

FIG. 7 shows another embodiment. That is,
This cosmetic container 17 has a mirror 19 provided on the entire back surface of the lid 18 and a container body 20 between the lid 18 and the container body 20.
An inner lid 21a made of a polymer of two transparent plastic plates 21 is swingably provided between the two transparent plastic plates 21, and a planar transmission hologram (film type) 23 is mounted between the two transparent plastic plates 21. is inserted, and the lid body 18 and the inner lid 21a normally move together and can be separated when necessary. Moreover, this cosmetic container 17 includes
In place of the push-button switches 9, 10 shown in FIG. 2, a push-button switch 24, which has been specially developed for this invention, is provided. The other parts are the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. To describe the push button switch 24 in more detail, the push button switch 24 is provided with a movable contact 26 on the outer periphery of the middle part of the push button 25, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. is fitted loosely into the guide cylinder 27, a return spring 28 is provided, and a terminal plate 30 with two fixed contacts 29 corresponding to the movable contacts 26 is provided.
1a, when the push button 25 is pushed down against the spring force of the return spring 28, the movable contact 26 is located in the recess 31 of the pair of terminal plates 30, and the switch is turned off, and the inner lid 21a is closed.
is opened from the closed state to 90 degrees, the push button 25 is raised by the spring force of the spring 28, the movable contact 26 contacts the fixed contact 29 of the pair of terminal boards 30, and the switch is turned on, and the inner lid 21a is opened. 90
If you open it further than the degree, push button 25
is further raised by the spring force of the spring 28, so that the movable contact 26 is positioned in the recess 31a of the pair of terminal plates 30, and is in a switch-off state.
In FIGS. 8 and 9, 32 is a box. In this case, by adjusting the length l of the fixed contact 29, the lighting/opening angle of the lamp 7a on the lid 3 can be adjusted as appropriate.

This cosmetic container 17 includes a hologram 23 and a mirror 1.
Since the hologram 23 is provided on the inner lid 21a, the mirror 19 and the hologram 23 can be made larger. Furthermore, since only one push button switch 24 is required, wiring work and the like can be simplified.

10 and 11 show yet another embodiment of the cosmetic container 33.
Instead of the lamp 7a in the above embodiment, an optical fiber concentrator 34 is used. That is, the optical fiber concentrator 34 is made up of a number of optical fibers, one end of which is protruded from the surface of the container body 35 toward the hologram 36, and the other end is divided into three and faces three lamps 37 which each emit light of a different color, and the three types of colored light irradiate different locations on the hologram 36, causing a three-dimensional image with a different color in parts and a special aesthetic feeling to emerge from the surface of the hologram 36. The other parts are the same as those in the above embodiment.

Note that a mixture of the above three types of colored light may be made to reach the surface of the hologram 36, or even more types of colored light may be used. Furthermore, although the above embodiments all use a reflection type hologram 36, the lid body itself may be made of transparent plastic, and a transmission type hologram may be provided thereon by means such as embossing.

[Effect of idea]

The cosmetic container of this invention has a hologram on the lid, and this image stands out from the lid surface due to the light from the light emitting element, giving the user a strong sense of beauty. do. Therefore, an increase in demand can be expected due to this aesthetic effect. In addition, since the hologram appears to be highlighted by light when the lid is closed, it becomes playful when the lid is opened and closed, making makeup more fun. Moreover, the above-mentioned aesthetic appearance makes the image of the product strongly imprinted in the user's mind. Therefore, the next time the user purchases a product, the user can select the product based on the user's strong image, and the situation where the user misidentifies and confuses the product can be avoided.
