Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a compact container in which the rear end portion of the upper lid and the rear end portion of the lower lid are pivotally supported by pivot pins so that they can be opened and closed, the upper lid inadvertently deviates from the lower lid. Locking protrusions that lock each other are provided at the front ends of both lids so as not to open. Further, a hook member or the like is separately provided to release both the locking projections when the lid is opened. In this way, the conventional compact container requires many members for opening and closing,
The structure was complicated and costly. Moreover, there is no mechanism for maintaining the state in the fully opened state, and it is not always easy to use.

Are formed facing the opening side. Pivot pins 10a, 1
As shown in FIG. 3 (A), a substantially V-shaped projection 13 that fits into the cam groove 12 in the fully closed state and the fully opened state is formed at the tip of 0b. When the cam groove 12 and the protrusion 13 are fitted in the fully closed state, both lids 2 and 3 are maintained in the fully closed state unless a force for opening the upper lid 3 is applied. Pivot pins 10a, 10b
As shown in FIG. 3, an axial rib 15 is provided at an intermediate portion, and the axial groove 16 is provided with this rib in the pin holes 8a and 8b.
By engaging with, it is arranged so as to be non-rotating and slidable only in the axial direction. Also, pivot pins 10a, 10b
The rear end portion is formed in a small diameter portion 17 having a slightly small diameter, and a spring 18 as an urging member is interposed on the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion to constantly urge the pivot pins 10a and 10b toward the tip end side thereof. is doing. A spring retainer 19 is fitted into the pin holes 8a and 8b of the lower lid 2 from the outside thereof and arranged. Two
Reference numeral 0 is a mirror attached to the recessed portion on the back surface of the upper lid 3.

る。The operation of the above embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 shows a fully closed state in which the cam groove 12 of the pivot portion 7 of the upper lid 3 and the protrusion 13 of the pivot pins 10a and 10b are fitted,
Both lids 2 and 3 are in a state where their front end portions are also closed, and the force of the spring 18 is received to maintain the above state. When the upper lid 3 is opened from the fully closed state, the rotational force is transmitted to the tips of the pivot pins 10a and 10b through the cam grooves 12 and the protrusions 13 which are fitted to each other, whereby the pivot pins are moved as shown in FIG. As indicated by the arrow, the lower lid 2 is slid toward the pin holes 8a, 8b side against the force of the spring 18.
When the upper lid 3 is opened approximately 90 °, the cam groove 12 and the protrusion 13
The pressing force on the spring 18 is the strongest.

In the fully open state in which the cam groove 12 and the protrusion 13 are slid to the side b and opened approximately 180 °, the cam groove 12 and the projection 13 are fitted in the same manner as in the fully closed state. Also at this time, both lids 2 and 3 receive the force of the spring 18 and maintain the above state.

10b, so that the pivot pin resists the force of the spring 18 and the pin hole 8 of the lower lid 2 as described above.
From the state in which the upper lid 3 is slid to the a and 8b sides and the upper lid 3 is closed by about 90 °, the pivot pin 1 receives the force of the spring 18.
0a and 10b are slid to the pin hole 9a and 9b side of the upper lid 3, and in the fully closed state where the lid is completely closed, the cam groove 12 and the projection 1 are provided.
3 fit together.

ことも可能である。As described above, in the fully closed state and the fully opened state, the cam groove 12 and the projection 13 are fitted to each other by utilizing the force of the spring 18 so that the upper lid 3 is not inadvertently opened from the lower lid 2. On the other hand, when the upper lid 3 is opened from the fully closed state or when the upper lid 3 is closed from the fully opened state, the rotational force thereof is utilized by using the cam grooves 12 and the protrusions 13 to pivot pins 10a, 10b. The pivot pin is transmitted to the tip end of the lower cover 2 against the spring 18 and slid toward the pin holes 8a, 8b of the lower lid 2 to release the fitting relationship. In this embodiment, the fully opened state is described as the state in which the upper lid 3 is opened approximately 180 ° with respect to the lower lid 2, but 90 ° to 180 °.
It is also possible to set the fully open state to any position within the range of °.

The state is different from the fully opened state, but the intermediate opened state, that is, the state shown in FIG. 5 in which the upper lid 3 is opened approximately 135 ° with respect to the lower lid 2, is different, and the others are the same. Therefore, the position where the cam groove 12 and the protrusion 13 are fitted to each other is displaced from the fitting position in the above embodiment by an angle θ (see FIG. 6B).

あれば使用上きわめて便利なものとなる。Therefore, when the lid is opened as shown in FIG. 5, the cam groove 12 of the pivot portion 7 of the upper lid 3 and the protrusion 13 of the pivot pins 10a and 10b are fitted to each other, and the force of the spring 18 is applied to the lid 13. I am maintaining. When the upper lid 3 is further opened from this open state, the rotational force thereof is transmitted to the tips of the pivot pins 10a and 10b through the cam groove 12 and the protrusion 13 which are fitted to each other, whereby the pivot pin causes the spring 18 to move. It is slid to the pin holes 8a, 8b side of the lower lid 2 against the force of
The return force acts by the force of the spring 18. Further, when the upper lid 3 is closed, the pivot pins 10a, 10a,
The pivot pin is transmitted to the tip portion of 10 b, and thereby the pivot pin is slid against the pin holes 8 a and 8 b of the lower lid 2 against the force of the spring 18, but the return force acts by the force of the spring 18. In this way, the open state as described above is always maintained, and if this state is the opening degree at which the mirror 20 of the upper lid 3 is the most visible, it is extremely convenient for use.

のとなる。On the other hand, when the upper lid 3 is closed from the open state and the upper lid 3 is opened approximately 45 ° with respect to the lower lid 2, the pressing force against the spring 18 by the cam groove 12 and the protrusion 13 is the strongest. In this way, when the state is further closed from this state to the fully closed state shown in FIG. 6, a return force is always applied to the pivot pins 10a and 10b by the force of the spring 18, and the upper lid 3 is closed. Force F in the closing direction
(See FIG. 6B) will work. Therefore, the upper lid 3 does not open unintentionally, and it is easy to use.

いものとなる。According to a third aspect of the present invention, in a compact container in which a rear end portion of the upper lid and a rear end portion of the lower lid are pivotally supported by a pivot pin so as to be opened and closed, the pivot pin is provided between the both lids. A biasing member that is slidably disposed in a pin hole formed over and that biases the pivot pin toward the pin hole that is always provided in the upper lid is provided against the biasing force of the biasing member. A cam portion for sliding the pivot pin to the pin hole side provided in the lower lid is provided in the pin hole of the upper lid, and the cam portion has an upper lid in an angle range of 90 ° to 180 ° with respect to the lower lid. When the lid is opened at the position, the urging force of the urging member is received and the tip of the pivot pin is fitted to maintain the opened state, and the upper lid is released from the opened state. Alternatively, when the upper lid is closed from the opened state, the rotational force of the upper lid is transmitted to the tip end portion of the pivot pin to cause the pin to rotate. Is slid to the pin hole side of the lower lid against the biasing member to release the fitting, and in the fully closed state, a force in the direction of closing the upper lid is received from the biasing member. This makes it possible to maintain the lid open in the middle, and you can see the mirror mounted on the back side of the compact top lid firmly fixed in the optimal open state, which is extremely convenient for use. In addition to that, in the fully closed state, a force acts in a direction to further close the upper lid, and the upper lid does not open unintentionally, which makes it easy to use.
