Description

本発明は、化粧料を収納するコンパクト容器に関し、特に、蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖したとき、蓋体を容器本体の方向に付勢すると共に蓋体と容器本体とを滑り接触させることで閉鎖状態を保持し得るようにしたコンパクト容器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a compact container for storing cosmetics, and in particular, when the lid body is closed with respect to the container body, the lid body is urged toward the container body and the lid body and the container body are brought into sliding contact. It is related with the compact container which enabled it to hold | maintain a closed state.

化粧料を収納したコンパクト容器は、ハンドバッグに入れて持ち運ぶのに便利であり広く使用されている。このコンパクト容器は、化粧料を入れる容器本体と、容器本体に重なるように形成された蓋体と、からなり、容器本体と蓋体は、互いに一方側の端部に形成されたヒンジ部を介して回動可能に構成されると共に、他方側の端部に形成された一対のフック機構を介して閉鎖状態を維持し得るように構成されている。従って、使用時には蓋体をヒンジ部を中心に回動させることで容器本体に対して開放させ、非使用時には蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖し、且つフック機構を利用して閉鎖状態を保持している。   Compact containers containing cosmetics are convenient and widely used for carrying in handbags. This compact container is composed of a container body for putting cosmetics and a lid formed so as to overlap the container body, and the container body and the lid are connected to each other via a hinge portion formed at one end portion. And is configured to be able to maintain a closed state via a pair of hook mechanisms formed at the other end. Therefore, when used, the lid is opened with respect to the container body by rotating it around the hinge, and when not in use, the lid is closed with respect to the container body, and the closed state is maintained using a hook mechanism. is doing.

特に、コンパクト容器は、金属製のストレートピンやロールピンを蓋体と容器本体に貫通させてヒンジ部を構成するのが一般的であり、これらのピンと蓋体,容器本体との接触摩擦によって蓋体を開放したときの容器本体に対して所望の位置で停止するフリーストップを実現している。また蓋体,容器本体の何れかに、軸状部材と、該軸状部材を回動可能に受け入れる軸受部と、を形成したコンパクト容器も提案されている(例えば特許文献1参照)。   In particular, a compact container generally has a hinge portion formed by penetrating a metal straight pin or roll pin through the lid and the container body, and the cover body is caused by contact friction between these pins, the lid body, and the container body. The free stop which stops at a desired position with respect to the container main body when opening is realized. There has also been proposed a compact container in which a shaft-like member and a bearing portion that rotatably receives the shaft-like member are formed on either the lid or the container main body (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

上記の如く、コンパクト容器ではヒンジ部は単なる軸状の部材と該部材を受け入れる軸受状の部材によって構成されており、蓋体の容器本体に対する回動は該コンパクト容器を利用する人による回動力の付与によって行われ、蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖したときの閉鎖状態の維持はフック機構の係止によって行われる。   As described above, in the compact container, the hinge portion is composed of a simple shaft-shaped member and a bearing-shaped member that receives the member, and the rotation of the lid relative to the container body is caused by the rotational force of the person using the compact container. When the lid is closed with respect to the container body, the closed state is maintained by locking the hook mechanism.

特開2003−180442JP 2003-180442 A

上記の如きコンパクト容器のフック機構では、フックの機械的な係合によって蓋体の容器本体に対する閉鎖状態を保持するため、閉鎖しているコンパクト容器を開放する際にフックの係合を解除する必要があり比較的に強い力を要する。このため、確実な閉鎖状態を保持することが出来、且つ小さい力で開放することが出来るコンパクト容器が要求されている。   In the hook mechanism of the compact container as described above, since the closed state of the lid body with respect to the container body is maintained by mechanical engagement of the hook, it is necessary to release the engagement of the hook when opening the closed compact container. There is a relatively strong force. For this reason, there is a demand for a compact container that can maintain a reliable closed state and can be opened with a small force.

本発明の目的は、蓋体の容器本体に対する閉鎖性を向上させると共に小さい力で開放することが出来るコンパクト容器を提供することにある。   The objective of this invention is providing the compact container which can open | release with small force while improving the closing property with respect to the container main body of a cover body.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係るコンパクト容器は、蓋体と容器本体をヒンジ部を介して回動可能に接続したコンパクト容器であって、ヒンジ部は、蓋体の一方の端部側に固定された軸受部材と、容器本体の一方の端部側に固定され前記軸受部材に嵌合する回動部材を回動可能に軸支する回動軸部材と、によって構成され、且つ前記回動軸部材は、傾斜面からなる係合凹部/凸部を有する前記回動部材と、傾斜面からなり前記回動部材の前記係合凹部/凸部に係合する係合凸部/凹部を有する係合部材と、該係合部材を前記回動部材に向けて付勢する付勢部材とを有して構成され、且つ容器本体の他方の端部側に蓋体と滑り接触する接触部を設け、蓋体が容器本体に対して閉まった状態において、前記回動部材の係合凹部/凸部と前記係合部材の係合凸部/凹部とが傾斜面の途中で留まることで前記蓋体が前記容器本体に対して閉まる方向に付勢されると共に、蓋体と容器本体が接触部に於いて接触することで生じる摩擦抵抗によって、閉まった状態を保持し得るように構成されるものである。 In order to solve the above problems, a compact container according to the present invention is a compact container in which a lid and a container main body are rotatably connected via a hinge part, and the hinge part is on one end side of the lid body. And a rotating shaft member that pivotally supports a rotating member that is fixed to one end side of the container body and is fitted to the bearing member. The moving shaft member includes the rotating member having an engaging concave portion / convex portion made of an inclined surface, and the engaging convex portion / concave portion made of an inclined surface and engaged with the engaging concave portion / convex portion of the rotating member. A contact portion configured to have an engaging member and a biasing member that biases the engaging member toward the rotating member, and in sliding contact with the lid on the other end side of the container body In the state where the lid is closed with respect to the container body, the engaging recess / projection of the rotating member and the The engaging convex part / concave part of the joint member stays in the middle of the inclined surface, so that the lid body is urged in the closing direction with respect to the container main body, and the lid body and the container main body contact at the contact portion. Thus, the closed state can be maintained by the frictional resistance generated .

上記コンパクト容器では、蓋体を閉鎖したとき、付勢部材と係合部材との機能によって蓋体が容器本体側に付勢され、且つ容器本体の所定位置に設けた接触部が蓋体に対して滑り接触することで、蓋体と容器本体との閉鎖性を向上させることが出来る。   In the above compact container, when the lid is closed, the lid is urged toward the container body by the function of the urging member and the engaging member, and the contact portion provided at a predetermined position of the container body is against the lid. The sliding contact between the lid body and the container body can be improved.

また蓋体を開放する際には該蓋体に対し、蓋体に作用する付勢部材と係合部材とによる付勢力と、接触部に於ける滑り摩擦抵抗に基づく力と、を加えた力よりも大きい力を付与すれば良い。この力は従来のコンパクト容器に於けるフックの係合を解除するのに必要な力よりも小さくすることが可能であり、従って、より小さい力で開放することが出来る。   Further, when the lid is opened, a force obtained by applying an urging force by the urging member and the engaging member acting on the lid and a force based on a sliding frictional resistance at the contact portion to the lid. What is necessary is just to give bigger force than. This force can be less than that required to disengage the hook in a conventional compact container and can therefore be released with less force.

以下、本発明に係るコンパクト容器の好ましい形態について説明する。本発明のコンパクト容器は、蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖(コンパクト容器を閉鎖)したとき、ヒンジ部で発生する蓋体が容器本体に対して閉まる方向への付勢力に加えて、容器本体との所定位置に設けた接触部に於ける蓋体に対する接触摩擦を作用させることで、コンパクト容器の確実な閉鎖を実現すると共に、蓋体を容器本体に対して開放(コンパクト容器を開放)する際に、該蓋体を小さい力で回動させることを実現したものである。   Hereinafter, the preferable form of the compact container which concerns on this invention is demonstrated. In the compact container of the present invention, when the lid is closed with respect to the container main body (the compact container is closed), in addition to the biasing force in the direction in which the lid generated at the hinge portion is closed with respect to the container main body, By applying contact friction to the lid at the contact portion provided in a predetermined position, the compact container is securely closed and the lid is opened from the container body (the compact container is opened). In this case, the lid is rotated with a small force.

蓋体と容器本体とは一方の端部側に設けたヒンジ部を介して回動可能に接続されており、容器本体の他方の端部側に蓋体に対する接触部が設けられている。 The lid body and the container main body are rotatably connected via a hinge portion provided on one end side, and a contact portion for the lid body is provided on the other end side of the container main body.

容器本体に設ける接触部の形状は、蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖したとき、滑り接触して接触摩擦を作用させて確実な閉鎖を実現するものであり、この目的を達成し得るものであれば良い。また接触部に於ける接触摩擦の大きさは特に限定するものではなく、前述した蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖したときに確実な閉鎖を実現し、且つ開放する際に必要な力が、従来のフック機構の解除を行う際に必要な力よりも小さければ良い。   The shape of the contact portion provided on the container body is to achieve a reliable closure by sliding contact and applying contact friction when the lid body is closed with respect to the container body. I just need it. Further, the magnitude of the contact friction at the contact portion is not particularly limited, and when the above-described lid body is closed with respect to the container body, a reliable closure is realized, and a force necessary for opening the lid body is What is necessary is just to be smaller than force required when releasing the conventional hook mechanism.

上記の如く構成されたコンパクト容器では、蓋体を容器本体に対して閉鎖したとき、ヒンジ部から発生する蓋体を閉める方向に回動させる力と、接触部に於ける滑り摩擦抵抗とによって確実な閉鎖状態を確保することが可能である。そして蓋体を開放する際には、従来のフック機構を利用したコンパクト容器を開放する際の力と比較して小さい力で開放することが可能となる。   In the compact container configured as described above, when the lid body is closed with respect to the container body, the force generated by the hinge portion to rotate the lid body in the closing direction and the sliding frictional resistance at the contact portion are ensured. It is possible to ensure a closed state. And when opening a cover body, it becomes possible to open with a small force compared with the force at the time of opening the compact container using the conventional hook mechanism.

図に於いて、本実施例に係るコンパクト容器Aは、内部に鏡11を取り付けた蓋体10と、化粧料を収納する中皿25を着脱可能に装着する凹部21を有する容器本体20と、を有して構成されている。蓋体10と容器本体20は、互いの一方の端部側(後方側)に配置したヒンジ部30を介して回動可能に接続されており、容器本体20の他方の端部側(前方側)に接触部40が形成され、該接触部40と蓋体10との滑り接触摩擦によって蓋体10の容器本体20に対する閉鎖状態を保持し得るように構成されている。   In the figure, a compact container A according to the present embodiment includes a lid body 10 having a mirror 11 mounted therein, a container body 20 having a recess 21 in which an inner tray 25 for storing cosmetics is detachably mounted, It is comprised. The lid 10 and the container main body 20 are rotatably connected via a hinge portion 30 disposed on one end side (rear side) of the other, and the other end side (front side) of the container main body 20 is connected. ) Is formed, and the closed state of the lid 10 with respect to the container body 20 can be maintained by sliding contact friction between the contact 40 and the lid 10.

蓋体10は、中皿25と対向する位置に鏡11が取り付けられており、外周に沿った縁部分には中皿25を容器本体20に取り付けたときにフランジ25bを収容し得る高さを持った立設片12が形成されている。そして蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、立設片12の先端面が容器本体20の上面に接触し得るように構成されている。   The lid 10 is provided with the mirror 11 at a position facing the inner tray 25, and the edge portion along the outer periphery has a height that can accommodate the flange 25 b when the inner tray 25 is attached to the container body 20. A standing piece 12 is formed. When the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container main body 20, the distal end surface of the standing piece 12 can be brought into contact with the upper surface of the container main body 20.

容器本体20に形成された凹部21には係止溝21aが形成され、中皿25の外側面であって係止溝21aと対向する位置に係止突起25aが形成されている。従って、予め化粧料を収納した中皿25を凹部21に嵌合して係止突起25aを係止溝21aに係止することで、中皿25を容器本体20に一体化させている。   A locking groove 21a is formed in the recess 21 formed in the container main body 20, and a locking projection 25a is formed at a position on the outer surface of the inner tray 25 and facing the locking groove 21a. Therefore, the inner tray 25 is integrated with the container body 20 by fitting the inner tray 25 in which cosmetics are stored in advance into the recess 21 and locking the locking projection 25a in the locking groove 21a.

蓋体10の後方側の端部には、ヒンジ部30を構成する軸受部材31を回動不能に嵌合するブラケット10aが形成されている。また容器本体20の後方側の端部であって、蓋体10を重ねて閉鎖状態としたときに該蓋体10に形成されたブラケット10aと対応する位置に、ヒンジ部30を構成する回動軸部材32を回動不能に収容する収容突起20aが形成されている。   A bracket 10 a that fits the bearing member 31 that constitutes the hinge portion 30 so as not to rotate is formed at an end portion on the rear side of the lid body 10. Moreover, it is the edge part of the back side of the container main body 20, Comprising: When the cover body 10 is piled up and it is made a closed state, the rotation which comprises the hinge part 30 in the position corresponding to the bracket 10a formed in this cover body 10 A housing protrusion 20a that houses the shaft member 32 in a non-rotatable manner is formed.

蓋体10のブラケット10a,容器本体20の収容突起20aの寸法や形状は特に限定するものではない。本実施例では、蓋体10のブラケット10aを該蓋体10の幅方向の両端部に一対形成し、容器本体20の収容突起20aは一対のブラケット10aの間に収容し得るように形成している。しかし、収容突起20aを幅方向の両端部に一対形成すると共にブラケット10aを一対の収容突起20aの間に収容し得るように形成しても良い。即ち、前記ブラケット10a,収容突起20aを如何なる形状と寸法で形成するかは、コンパクト容器Aの意匠性に関連して適宜設定することが好ましい。   The dimensions and shapes of the bracket 10a of the lid 10 and the housing projection 20a of the container body 20 are not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, a pair of brackets 10a of the lid body 10 are formed at both ends in the width direction of the lid body 10, and the housing projections 20a of the container body 20 are formed so as to be housed between the pair of brackets 10a. Yes. However, a pair of housing protrusions 20a may be formed at both ends in the width direction, and the bracket 10a may be formed so as to be housed between the pair of housing protrusions 20a. That is, it is preferable that the shape and dimensions of the bracket 10a and the housing protrusion 20a are appropriately set in relation to the design of the compact container A.

ヒンジ部30は、蓋体10に形成されたブラケット10aに回動不能に嵌合されると共に固定される軸受部材31と、容器本体20に形成された収容突起20aに回動不能に嵌合させると共に固定される回動軸部材32とを有して構成されている。軸受部材31がブラケット10aに、回動軸部材32が収容突起20a対して夫々回動不能に嵌合されると共に固定される構造は特に限定するものではなく、例えば接着であっても良い。   The hinge portion 30 is non-rotatably fitted to a bearing member 31 that is non-rotatably fitted and fixed to the bracket 10 a formed on the lid 10 and the housing protrusion 20 a formed on the container body 20. And a rotating shaft member 32 fixed together. The structure in which the bearing member 31 is fitted to the bracket 10a and the rotation shaft member 32 is non-rotatably fitted and fixed to the housing projection 20a is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, adhesion.

本実施例では、軸受部材31の主要部の外形、及び回動軸部材32の外形を多角形とし、蓋体10のブラケット10a及び容器本体20の収容突起20aに夫々対応する多角形の穴10b,20bを形成しておくことで、これらの穴10b,20bに軸受部材31,回動軸部材32を嵌合したとき回動不能に構成している。また各穴10b,20bと、軸受部材31,回動軸部材32の嵌め合い公差を止まり嵌め或いは締まり嵌めとすることで、抜けを防止して固定し得るように構成している。   In the present embodiment, the outer shape of the main part of the bearing member 31 and the outer shape of the rotating shaft member 32 are polygonal, and the polygonal holes 10b respectively corresponding to the bracket 10a of the lid 10 and the housing projection 20a of the container body 20. , 20b is formed so that the bearing member 31 and the rotating shaft member 32 are not rotatable when these holes 10b, 20b are fitted. Further, the fitting tolerances of the holes 10b and 20b, the bearing member 31, and the rotary shaft member 32 are set to be a stop fit or an interference fit so that they can be fixed while being prevented from coming off.

軸受部材31は、内部に回動軸部材32を嵌合するための嵌合凹部31aが形成され、該嵌合凹部31aが形成された部分の外形が四角形に形成されている。嵌合凹部31aは。回動軸部材32を構成する回動部材32bの嵌合凸部32b1を嵌合して蓋体10に作用する力を回動軸部材32に伝達する機能を有するものであり、前記力を確実に伝達し得るように断面が四角形の穴として形成されている。   The bearing member 31 has a fitting recess 31a for fitting the rotation shaft member 32 therein, and the outer shape of the portion where the fitting recess 31a is formed is formed in a quadrangle. The fitting recess 31a. The fitting member 32b of the turning member 32b constituting the turning shaft member 32 has a function of fitting the fitting convex portion 32b1 and transmitting the force acting on the lid body 10 to the turning shaft member 32. The cross section is formed as a quadrangular hole so that it can be transmitted.

軸受部材31の外形形状は全長にわたって四角形であって良いが、本実施例では、意匠性を向上させるために、嵌合凹部31aを形成した端部とは反対側の端部は円形に形成されている。   The outer shape of the bearing member 31 may be a quadrangle over its entire length, but in this embodiment, in order to improve the design, the end opposite to the end where the fitting recess 31a is formed is formed in a circle. ing.

回動軸部材32は、軸受部材31に近い方から、カバー部材32aと、カバー部材32aに回動可能に支持される回動部材32bと、カバー部材の内部側面に沿って摺動可能に配置され回動部材32bの回動角度に応じて該回動部材32bと係合する係止部材32cと、係止部材32cを回動部材32b方向に付勢する付勢部材32dと、付勢部材32dと当接すると共にカバー部材32aに係止されるカバー底部材32eと、の5つの部材を一体的に組立てて構成されている。   The rotation shaft member 32 is arranged so as to be slidable along the inner side surface of the cover member 32a, the rotation member 32b rotatably supported by the cover member 32a, and the cover member 32a from the side closer to the bearing member 31. A locking member 32c that engages with the rotation member 32b according to a rotation angle of the rotation member 32b, a biasing member 32d that biases the locking member 32c in the direction of the rotation member 32b, and a biasing member The cover bottom member 32e that is in contact with the cover member 32d and is locked to the cover member 32a is integrally assembled and configured.

カバー部材32aは回動軸部材32の外装を構成するもので、外形及び内形が四角形に形成されており、且つ軸受部材31側の端部には円形の穴32a1が形成され、カバー側面には少なくとも一つの係止穴32a2が形成されている。また、カバー部材32aの内側の面は、回動部材32bが回動する際のガイドとして、また係止部材32cが軸方向に摺動する際のガイドとして機能する。   The cover member 32a constitutes the exterior of the rotating shaft member 32. The outer shape and the inner shape are formed in a quadrangle shape, and a circular hole 32a1 is formed at the end on the bearing member 31 side. Has at least one locking hole 32a2. Further, the inner surface of the cover member 32a functions as a guide when the rotating member 32b rotates, and as a guide when the locking member 32c slides in the axial direction.

回動部材32bは、カバー部材32aの穴32a1から突出し軸受部材31の嵌合凹部31aに嵌合する四角形状の嵌合凸部32b1と、カバー部材32aの穴32a1とほぼ同径の円筒部32b3と、係止部材32cに係合する係合凹部32b2とが形成されている。ここで、係合凹部32b2は奥に行くほど狭くなるような傾斜面が形成されるテーパ形状となっている。   The rotating member 32b protrudes from the hole 32a1 of the cover member 32a and fits into the fitting concave portion 32b1 that fits into the fitting concave portion 31a of the bearing member 31, and the cylindrical portion 32b3 having the same diameter as the hole 32a1 of the cover member 32a. And the engaging recessed part 32b2 engaged with the latching member 32c is formed. Here, the engaging recess 32b2 has a tapered shape in which an inclined surface that becomes narrower toward the back is formed.

係止部材32cは断面がカバー部材32aの内形と略等しい四角形に形成され、且つ端面に基部の幅が広く先端に行くほど狭くなるような傾斜面であって、傾斜角度が回動部材32bの係合凹部32b2の傾斜角度と対応するテーパ形状の係合凸部32c1が形成され、付勢部材32dの作用により軸方向で回動部材32b側に付勢される。従って、係止部材32cはカバー部材32aに対し、回動不能に且つ軸方向への摺動可能に収容される。   The locking member 32c is formed in a quadrangle whose cross section is substantially the same as the inner shape of the cover member 32a, and has an inclined surface with a wide base at the end surface and narrows toward the tip, and the inclination angle is the rotation member 32b. A tapered engaging convex portion 32c1 corresponding to the inclination angle of the engaging concave portion 32b2 is formed, and is biased toward the rotating member 32b in the axial direction by the action of the biasing member 32d. Therefore, the locking member 32c is accommodated in the cover member 32a so as not to rotate and to be slidable in the axial direction.

このため、係止部材32cの係合凸部32c1が回動部材32bの係合凹部32b2に係合したとき、回動部材32bの回動を停止させることができる。また、回動部材32bに力を付与して回動させると、係合凸部32c1が係合凹部32b2の傾斜面に沿って移動し、これにより、付勢部材32dの付勢力に抗して係止部材32cが回動部材32bから離隔する方向へ移動し、係合凸部32c1が係合凹部32b2から離脱する。   For this reason, when the engagement convex part 32c1 of the latching member 32c engages with the engagement concave part 32b2 of the rotation member 32b, the rotation of the rotation member 32b can be stopped. Further, when a force is applied to the rotation member 32b and the engagement member 32b is rotated, the engagement protrusion 32c1 moves along the inclined surface of the engagement recess 32b2, thereby resisting the urging force of the urging member 32d. The locking member 32c moves in a direction away from the rotating member 32b, and the engaging convex part 32c1 is detached from the engaging concave part 32b2.

尚、上述した係合凹部32b2及び係合凸部32c1は、互いに係合する形状であればよいため、片方の係合凹部32b2を凸部とし、他方の係合凸部32c1を凹部としてもよい。また係合凹部32b2,係合凸部32c1の傾斜角度は特に限定するものではない。しかし付勢部材32dの付勢力の傾斜面による分力が、蓋体10を容器本体20に対し閉鎖したときに該蓋体10が容器本体20側に閉める方向に作用し得るような値となる角度であることが好ましい。   In addition, since the engagement recessed part 32b2 and the engagement convex part 32c1 mentioned above should just be a shape engaged with each other, one engagement recessed part 32b2 may be made into a convex part, and the other engagement convex part 32c1 may be made into a recessed part. . In addition, the inclination angles of the engagement recess 32b2 and the engagement protrusion 32c1 are not particularly limited. However, the component force by the inclined surface of the urging force of the urging member 32d is a value that can act in the direction in which the lid 10 closes to the container body 20 when the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20. An angle is preferred.

カバー底部材32eは、付勢部材32dを支持するために該付勢部材32dの外形と同様の形状の穴が形成されている。これが付勢部材支持部32e1である。また、カバー底部材32eの側面にはカバー部材32aの穴32a1に係止するための係止突起32e2が形成されている。このため、カバー部材32aをカバー底部材32eにかぶせて、カバー底部材32eの係止突起32e2をカバー部材32aの係止穴32a2に係止させることで、回動軸部材32が一体的な構成となる。   The cover bottom member 32e is formed with a hole having the same shape as the outer shape of the biasing member 32d in order to support the biasing member 32d. This is the urging member support portion 32e1. Further, a locking protrusion 32e2 for locking in the hole 32a1 of the cover member 32a is formed on the side surface of the cover bottom member 32e. For this reason, the rotation shaft member 32 is integrated by covering the cover member 32a on the cover bottom member 32e and locking the locking projection 32e2 of the cover bottom member 32e in the locking hole 32a2 of the cover member 32a. It becomes.

本発明では、蓋体10が容器本体20に対して閉鎖されたとき、ヒンジ部30によって蓋体10は容器本体20に対して付勢される。即ち、蓋体10が容器本体20に当接して回動限に達したとき、係止部材32cの係合凸部32c1と回動部材32bの係合凹部32b2とが互いの接触状態を保持し、且つ前記接触状態を保持することによって係止部材32cを介して伝達される付勢部材32dの付勢力の分力が回動部材32bを蓋体10が閉鎖する方向に作用する。   In the present invention, when the lid body 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20, the lid body 10 is biased against the container body 20 by the hinge portion 30. That is, when the lid body 10 comes into contact with the container body 20 and reaches the rotation limit, the engagement convex portion 32c1 of the locking member 32c and the engagement concave portion 32b2 of the rotation member 32b hold the mutual contact state. In addition, by maintaining the contact state, the component of the urging force of the urging member 32d transmitted through the locking member 32c acts in the direction in which the lid 10 closes the rotating member 32b.

このため、蓋体10に配置される軸受部材31と容器本体20に配置される回動軸部材32は、蓋体10が容器本体20に対して閉鎖されたとき、係止部材32cの係合凸部32c1と回動部材32bの係合凹部32b2とが平行になって完全に係合してしまうことなく、傾斜面どうしの接触状態を保持しており、且つ接触方向は回動部材32bが蓋体10を閉鎖方向に付勢する方向に設定されている。   For this reason, the bearing member 31 disposed on the lid body 10 and the rotation shaft member 32 disposed on the container body 20 are engaged with the locking member 32c when the lid body 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20. The convex portion 32c1 and the engaging concave portion 32b2 of the rotating member 32b are parallel to each other without being completely engaged, and the contact state between the inclined surfaces is maintained, and the rotating member 32b is in the contact direction. It is set in a direction that urges the lid 10 in the closing direction.

このような接触状態を実現するには、予め回動部材32bに於ける嵌合凸部32b1の外面の方向と係合凹部32b2の方向のなす角度を、蓋体10が容器本体20に対して閉鎖されたときに蓋体10に閉まる方向の付勢力を発生し得る値に設定しておくか、蓋体10及び容器本体20に設けた穴10b,20bの四角形の面どうしの角度を、前記付勢力を発生し得る値に設定しておくことで良い。   In order to realize such a contact state, the lid 10 forms an angle between the direction of the outer surface of the fitting convex portion 32b1 and the direction of the engaging concave portion 32b2 in the rotating member 32b in advance with respect to the container body 20. It is set to a value that can generate an urging force in the closing direction when the lid 10 is closed, or the angle between the square surfaces of the holes 10b and 20b provided in the lid 10 and the container body 20 is set as described above. It may be set to a value that can generate an urging force.

容器本体20の前方側に接触部40が形成されている。本実施例では、接触部40は適度な弾性を有するゴムを含む合成樹脂からなる弾性接触部材41を容器本体20と中皿25のフランジ25bとの間に配置することで構成されている。   A contact portion 40 is formed on the front side of the container body 20. In this embodiment, the contact portion 40 is configured by disposing an elastic contact member 41 made of a synthetic resin including rubber having appropriate elasticity between the container body 20 and the flange 25b of the inner tray 25.

容器本体20の前方側であって上面から中皿25を収容する凹部21にかけて凹部20cが形成されており、この凹部20cに断面がL字型に形成された弾性接触部材41が収容され、該弾性接触部材41の上面に凹部21に収容された中皿25のフランジ25bが当接している。このため、弾性接触部材41は、下端部分が容器本体20に形成された凹部20cに収容されることで平面内での移動が不能あり、且つ上端部分が容器本体20に固定された中皿25のフランジ25bに拘束されることで上下方向への移動が不能に配置される。   A concave portion 20c is formed on the front side of the container body 20 from the upper surface to the concave portion 21 for accommodating the intermediate dish 25, and an elastic contact member 41 having a L-shaped cross section is accommodated in the concave portion 20c. The flange 25 b of the inner tray 25 accommodated in the recess 21 is in contact with the upper surface of the elastic contact member 41. For this reason, the elastic contact member 41 cannot move in a plane because the lower end portion is accommodated in the recess 20 c formed in the container body 20, and the upper tray 25 is fixed to the container body 20. By being restrained by the flange 25b, it is impossible to move in the vertical direction.

特に、弾性接触部材41が断面がL字型に形成されていることから、容器本体20と中皿25の間に配置された弾性接触部材41の一部がフランジ25bから突出することとなり、該突出部分の表面が蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、蓋体10の周縁に形成された立設片12の内面12aと滑り接触する接触面41aとなる。   In particular, since the elastic contact member 41 has an L-shaped cross section, a part of the elastic contact member 41 disposed between the container body 20 and the inner dish 25 protrudes from the flange 25b. When the surface of the projecting portion closes the lid body 10 with respect to the container body 20, the contact surface 41a is brought into sliding contact with the inner surface 12a of the standing piece 12 formed on the periphery of the lid body 10.

弾性接触部材41の摩擦係数や弾性率等の条件は特に限定するものではなく、蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、立設片12の内面12aと滑り接触して閉鎖状態を保持するのに充分な弾性と、蓋体10を開放する際に従来のフック機構に於けるフックの係合を解除する際に要する力よりも小さい抵抗を発揮し得るものであれば良い。   The conditions such as the coefficient of friction and the elastic modulus of the elastic contact member 41 are not particularly limited. When the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20, the closed state is brought into sliding contact with the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12. What is necessary is just to be able to exhibit sufficient elasticity to hold and resistance smaller than the force required to release the engagement of the hook in the conventional hook mechanism when the lid 10 is opened.

蓋体10の周縁には立設片12が形成されており、該立設片12の内面12aの一部が弾性接触部材41と滑り接触し得るように構成されている。立設片12の内面12aは、容器本体20に取り付けた中皿25のフランジ25bの外周縁に対して離隔し得る寸法を持って形成されている。従って、弾性接触部材41は、容器本体20の凹部20cに収容されたとき、接触面41aが立設片12の内面12aと確実に接触し得るような寸法を持って形成されている。   A standing piece 12 is formed on the periphery of the lid body 10, and a part of the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 can be in sliding contact with the elastic contact member 41. The inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 is formed with a dimension that can be separated from the outer peripheral edge of the flange 25 b of the intermediate tray 25 attached to the container body 20. Therefore, the elastic contact member 41 is formed with a dimension such that the contact surface 41a can reliably contact the inner surface 12a of the standing piece 12 when accommodated in the recess 20c of the container body 20.

尚、図に於いて、10d,20dはコンパクト容器Aを開放する際に指を入れて操作する操作用の凹部である。   In the figure, reference numerals 10d and 20d denote operation recesses which are operated by inserting a finger when the compact container A is opened.

次に、コンパクト容器Aを開閉する際の動作について図5により説明する。同図(a)に示すように、コンパクト容器Aが開放している状態では、係止部材32cの係合凸部32c1は回動部材32bの係合凹部32b1から離脱している。このとき、係止部材32cには付勢部材32dの付勢力が作用し、係合凸部32c1の端面が回動部材32bの端面に圧接している。このため、係止部材32と回動部材32bの間には、互いの摩擦係数と付勢部材32dの付勢力とに応じた摩擦抵抗が作用しており、この摩擦抵抗によって蓋体10は容器本体20に対する角度を保持している。   Next, the operation when opening and closing the compact container A will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, in a state where the compact container A is open, the engaging convex portion 32c1 of the locking member 32c is detached from the engaging concave portion 32b1 of the rotating member 32b. At this time, the urging force of the urging member 32d acts on the locking member 32c, and the end surface of the engaging convex portion 32c1 is in pressure contact with the end surface of the rotating member 32b. For this reason, a frictional resistance according to the mutual friction coefficient and the urging force of the urging member 32d acts between the locking member 32 and the rotating member 32b. The angle with respect to the main body 20 is maintained.

上記の如くコンパクト容器Aを開放したときに、蓋体10が容器本体20に対して角度を保持することをフリーストップ機構という。コンパクト容器Aを使用する際には、蓋体10が開いたままの状態を保持することで容器本体20に設けた中皿25に収容された化粧料を取りやすく、且つ鏡11を使用しやすいので、このようなフリーストップ機構があることは有利である。   When the compact container A is opened as described above, the fact that the lid 10 maintains an angle with respect to the container body 20 is referred to as a free stop mechanism. When using the compact container A, it is easy to take the cosmetics contained in the inner tray 25 provided in the container body 20 by holding the lid 10 in an open state, and the mirror 11 is easy to use. Therefore, it is advantageous to have such a free stop mechanism.

コンパクト容器Aを閉じる場合、同図(b)に示すように、使用者が蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉じる方向に回動させると、回動軸部材32では、回動部材32bが係止部材32cに係合する方向へ回動する。蓋体10が容器本体20に対する閉鎖状態の近傍まで回動し、係合凹部32b2が係合凸部32c1と平行になるように接近したとき、係止部材32cが付勢部材32dの付勢力により回動部材32b方向へ付勢されているため、係合凸部32c1は係合凹部32b2の方向へ移動しようとし、蓋体10が略閉鎖したとき、係合凸部32c1は先端側から係合凹部32b2に係合する。また蓋体10の立設片12が容器本体20に接近するのに伴って、内面12aが弾性接触部材41の接触面41aに滑り接触して摩擦抵抗が生じる。   When closing the compact container A, when the user rotates the lid 10 in the closing direction with respect to the container body 20 as shown in FIG. It rotates in a direction to engage with the locking member 32c. When the lid body 10 is rotated to the vicinity of the closed state with respect to the container main body 20 and approaches the engagement recess 32b2 so as to be parallel to the engagement protrusion 32c1, the locking member 32c is moved by the biasing force of the biasing member 32d. Since it is biased toward the rotating member 32b, the engaging convex portion 32c1 tries to move in the direction of the engaging concave portion 32b2, and when the lid body 10 is substantially closed, the engaging convex portion 32c1 is engaged from the front end side. Engages with the recess 32b2. Further, as the standing piece 12 of the lid body 10 approaches the container body 20, the inner surface 12 a slides on the contact surface 41 a of the elastic contact member 41 to generate a frictional resistance.

そして、コンパクト容器Aが閉じたとき、ヒンジ部30では、係止部材32cを介して伝達された付勢部材32dの付勢力は、係合凸部32c1,係合凹部32b2の傾斜角度に応じた分力として回動部材32bに作用し、該回動部材32b,軸受部材31を介して蓋体10を閉じる方向への付勢力として作用する。   When the compact container A is closed, the urging force of the urging member 32d transmitted through the locking member 32c in the hinge portion 30 corresponds to the inclination angle of the engaging convex portion 32c1 and the engaging concave portion 32b2. It acts on the rotating member 32b as a component force, and acts as an urging force in the direction of closing the lid 10 via the rotating member 32b and the bearing member 31.

コンパクト容器Aの閉鎖に伴って、コンパクト容器Aの前方側では、立設片12の内面12aが弾性接触部材41と接触して該弾性接触部材41を変形させる。これにより、蓋体10には弾性接触部材41による保持力が作用し、蓋体10は容器本体20に対して確実な閉鎖を実現する。   As the compact container A is closed, on the front side of the compact container A, the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 comes into contact with the elastic contact member 41 and deforms the elastic contact member 41. Thereby, the holding force by the elastic contact member 41 acts on the lid body 10, and the lid body 10 realizes a reliable closing with respect to the container body 20.

更に、コンパクト容器Aを開く場合、蓋体10及び容器本体20の前面に配設される凹部10d,20dに指を入れ、蓋体10にヒンジ部30で発生している蓋体10を閉鎖する方向の付勢力と、凹部10d,20dの近傍で発生している弾性接触部材41による保持力とによる抵抗に抗して、該蓋体10をヒンジ部30中心に開放方向に回動させる。蓋体10の回動開始時には、内面12aと弾性接触部材41との滑り接触による摩擦抵抗がするものの、蓋体10の回動により得られたトルクが軸受部材31から回動部材32bへ伝達され、係合凹部32b2と係合凸部32c1との係合が外れて蓋体10は円滑に回動するようになる。   Further, when opening the compact container A, fingers are put into the recesses 10d and 20d disposed on the front surface of the lid body 10 and the container body 20, and the lid body 10 generated at the hinge portion 30 is closed on the lid body 10. The lid 10 is rotated about the hinge 30 in the opening direction against resistance caused by the urging force in the direction and the holding force by the elastic contact member 41 generated in the vicinity of the recesses 10 d and 20 d. At the start of rotation of the lid body 10, although frictional resistance is caused by sliding contact between the inner surface 12 a and the elastic contact member 41, torque obtained by rotation of the lid body 10 is transmitted from the bearing member 31 to the rotation member 32 b. The engagement recess 32b2 and the engagement protrusion 32c1 are disengaged, and the lid 10 is smoothly rotated.

尚、コンパクト容器Aを開放する際に蓋体10に付与すべき力は、ヒンジ部30で発生している蓋体10を閉鎖する方向の付勢力と、凹部10d,20dの近傍で発生している内面12aと弾性接触部材41との滑り接触による摩擦抵抗である。これらの力は、従来のコンパクト容器に於けるフック機構を解除する際に必要な力と比較して充分に小さく、従って、コンパクト容器Aの閉鎖性を向上させることが可能であり、且つ開放する際に大きな力を必要としない。   The force to be applied to the lid 10 when the compact container A is opened is generated in the vicinity of the urging force in the direction of closing the lid 10 generated by the hinge portion 30 and the recesses 10d and 20d. The frictional resistance is due to the sliding contact between the inner surface 12 a and the elastic contact member 41. These forces are sufficiently small compared to the force required to release the hook mechanism in the conventional compact container, and therefore it is possible to improve and close the compact container A. It does not require great power.

次に、第2実施例に係るコンパクト容器Aの構成について図6により説明する。尚、本実施例及び後述する各実施例では、夫々接触部40の構成が変化するものの、ヒンジ部30及び他の構造については前述の第1実施例と同様である。このため、ヒンジ部30及び他の構造については説明を省略する。   Next, the structure of the compact container A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment and each embodiment described later, the configuration of the contact portion 40 changes, but the hinge portion 30 and other structures are the same as those in the first embodiment. For this reason, description is abbreviate | omitted about the hinge part 30 and another structure.

図に示すように、容器本体20には第1実施例と同様に弾性接触部材41が配置されている。また蓋体10の周縁に設けた立設片12の内面12aであって、容器本体20に設けた弾性接触部材41と対向する部位に球状の小突起12bが形成されている。この小突起12bの突出寸法は特に限定するものではないが、弾性接触部材41を僅かに変形させて蓋体10に力を作用させ得る程度であれば良い。   As shown in the drawing, an elastic contact member 41 is disposed in the container body 20 as in the first embodiment. A spherical small protrusion 12b is formed on the inner surface 12a of the standing piece 12 provided on the peripheral edge of the lid body 10 and at a portion facing the elastic contact member 41 provided on the container body 20. The projecting dimension of the small protrusion 12b is not particularly limited as long as the elastic contact member 41 can be slightly deformed and a force can be applied to the lid 10.

従って、弾性接触部材41の接触面41aには小突起12bを受け入れるような窪みを形成する必要はなく、該小突起12bの接触に伴って変形する。特に、立設片12の内面12aに小突起12bを設けることによって、弾性接触部材41の接触面41aの内面12aに対する寸法(接触代)の管理を緩やかにすることが可能となる。   Therefore, it is not necessary to form a recess for receiving the small protrusion 12b in the contact surface 41a of the elastic contact member 41, and the contact surface 41a is deformed with the contact of the small protrusion 12b. In particular, by providing the small protrusions 12b on the inner surface 12a of the standing piece 12, it becomes possible to moderately manage the size (contact allowance) of the elastic contact member 41 with respect to the inner surface 12a.

上記の如く構成されたコンパクト容器Aでは、蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、立設片12の内面12aに形成した小突起12bが弾性接触部材41の接触面41aに接触して食い込み、蓋体10に対し変形に応じた力を作用させることで、蓋体10の確実な閉鎖を実現することが可能である。   In the compact container A configured as described above, when the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20, the small protrusion 12 b formed on the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 contacts the contact surface 41 a of the elastic contact member 41. By encroaching and applying a force according to the deformation to the lid body 10, it is possible to realize the reliable closure of the lid body 10.

またコンパクト容器Aを開放する際には、凹部10d,20dに指を入れ、ヒンジ部30で発生している蓋体10を閉鎖する方向の付勢力と、内面12aと弾性接触部材41との滑り接触による摩擦抵抗である。これらの力は、従来のコンパクト容器に於けるフック機構を解除する際に必要な力と比較して充分に小さく、従って、コンパクト容器Aの閉鎖性を向上させることが可能であり、且つ開放する際に大きな力を必要としない。   Further, when opening the compact container A, a finger is put into the recesses 10d and 20d, the urging force in the direction of closing the lid 10 generated at the hinge portion 30, and the sliding between the inner surface 12a and the elastic contact member 41. Friction resistance due to contact. These forces are sufficiently small compared to the force required to release the hook mechanism in the conventional compact container, and therefore it is possible to improve and close the compact container A. It does not require great power.

次に第3実施例に係るコンパクト容器Aの構成について図7により説明する。図に示すように、中皿25の前方側にフランジ25bから片持ち状に垂下された接触部材42が形成されている。この接触部材42は、フランジ25bから下方に延長するに従って中皿25から離隔して蓋体10の立設片12に接近するように形成されている。そして接触部材42の外面には接触面42aが形成され、該接触面42aが内面12aと滑り接触し得るように構成されている。   Next, the structure of the compact container A according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the drawing, a contact member 42 that is cantilevered from the flange 25 b is formed on the front side of the inner tray 25. The contact member 42 is formed so as to be separated from the inner tray 25 and to approach the standing piece 12 of the lid 10 as it extends downward from the flange 25b. A contact surface 42a is formed on the outer surface of the contact member 42, and the contact surface 42a is configured to be able to make sliding contact with the inner surface 12a.

接触部材42が中皿25のフランジ25bから片持ち状に垂下されているため、該接触部材42はバネとしての機能を発揮することが可能であり、接触面42aに接触部材42を中皿25の方向に変形させるような力が作用したとき、この力と同じ大きさの力を発揮することが可能となる。   Since the contact member 42 is cantilevered from the flange 25b of the intermediate tray 25, the contact member 42 can exhibit a function as a spring, and the contact member 42 is placed on the contact surface 42a. When a force that deforms in the direction is applied, a force having the same magnitude as this force can be exerted.

上記の如く構成されたコンパクト容器Aでは、蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、立設片12の内面12aが接触部材42の接触面42aに接触して該接触部材42を変形させ、蓋体10に対し変形に応じた力を作用させることで、蓋体10の確実な閉鎖を実現することが可能である。   In the compact container A configured as described above, when the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20, the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 comes into contact with the contact surface 42 a of the contact member 42 and deforms the contact member 42. The lid 10 can be reliably closed by applying a force according to the deformation to the lid 10.

またコンパクト容器Aを開放する際には、凹部10d,20dに指を入れ、ヒンジ部30で発生している蓋体10を閉鎖する方向の付勢力と、内面12aと接触部材42との滑り接触による摩擦抵抗である。これらの力は、従来のコンパクト容器に於けるフック機構を解除する際に必要な力と比較して充分に小さく、従って、コンパクト容器Aの閉鎖性を向上させることが可能であり、且つ開放する際に大きな力を必要としない。   Further, when opening the compact container A, a finger is put into the recesses 10d and 20d, the urging force in the direction of closing the lid 10 generated at the hinge portion 30, and the sliding contact between the inner surface 12a and the contact member 42. It is the friction resistance by. These forces are sufficiently small compared to the force required to release the hook mechanism in the conventional compact container, and therefore it is possible to improve and close the compact container A. It does not require great power.

尚、中皿25のフランジ25aから垂下して形成した接触部材42は、中皿25の前方側の全面にわたって形成する必要はなく、1個所又は2個所形成されていれば良い。この場合、フランジ25の周縁に略垂直方向の垂下片を設け、この垂下片の一部をスリットによって区画すると共に区画された部分を前方側へ傾斜させて接触部材42を形成することが好ましい。   The contact member 42 formed by hanging from the flange 25a of the inner tray 25 does not need to be formed over the entire front side of the inner tray 25, and may be formed at one place or two places. In this case, it is preferable that a substantially vertical hanging piece is provided on the periphery of the flange 25, a part of the hanging piece is partitioned by a slit, and the partitioned portion is inclined forward to form the contact member 42.

次に第4実施例に係るコンパクト容器Aの構成について図8により説明する。図に示すように、中皿25のフランジ25bの周縁には、該フランジ25bから片持ち状に垂下された垂下片25cが形成されており、この垂下片25cの前方側に接触部40が形成されている。   Next, the structure of the compact container A according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, a hanging piece 25c that is cantilevered from the flange 25b is formed at the periphery of the flange 25b of the inner tray 25, and a contact portion 40 is formed on the front side of the hanging piece 25c. Has been.

接触部40は、中皿25の前方側に形成された垂下片25cに形成されたスリット44によって該垂下片25cから分離して形成されたバネ部材43を有しており、バネ部材43の表面にリブ状の接触部材45が形成されている。そして接触部材45の外面に接触面45aが形成され、該接触面45aが蓋体10の立設片12の内面12aと滑り接触し得るように構成されている。   The contact portion 40 includes a spring member 43 formed by being separated from the hanging piece 25 c by a slit 44 formed in the hanging piece 25 c formed on the front side of the inner dish 25, and the surface of the spring member 43. A rib-shaped contact member 45 is formed on the surface. And the contact surface 45a is formed in the outer surface of the contact member 45, and this contact surface 45a is comprised so that sliding contact with the inner surface 12a of the standing piece 12 of the cover body 10 is possible.

上記の如く構成されたコンパクト容器Aでは、蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、立設片12の内面12aが接触部材45の接触面45aに接触してバネ部材43を変形させ、蓋体10に対し変形に応じた力を作用させることで、蓋体10の確実な閉鎖を実現することが可能である。   In the compact container A configured as described above, when the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20, the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 contacts the contact surface 45 a of the contact member 45 to deform the spring member 43. The lid 10 can be reliably closed by applying a force according to the deformation to the lid 10.

またコンパクト容器Aを開放する際には、凹部10d,20dに指を入れ、ヒンジ部30で発生している蓋体10を閉鎖する方向の付勢力と、内面12aと接触部材45との滑り接触による摩擦抵抗である。これらの力は、従来のコンパクト容器に於けるフック機構を解除する際に必要な力と比較して充分に小さく、従って、コンパクト容器Aの閉鎖性を向上させることが可能であり、且つ開放する際に大きな力を必要としない。   Further, when opening the compact container A, a finger is put into the recesses 10d and 20d, the urging force in the direction of closing the lid 10 generated at the hinge portion 30, and the sliding contact between the inner surface 12a and the contact member 45. It is the friction resistance by. These forces are sufficiently small compared to the force required to release the hook mechanism in the conventional compact container, and therefore it is possible to improve and close the compact container A. It does not require great power.

次に第5実施例に係るコンパクト容器Aの構成について図9により説明する。図に示すように、本実施例では容器本体20に設けた凹部21に化粧料を収容し得るように構成されており、該凹部21の周縁に起立片22が形成されている。そして起立片22の前方側に接触部40が形成されている。接触部40は、起立片22の前方側に形成されたリブ状の接触部材46として形成されている。そして接触部材46の外面に接触面46aが形成され、該接触面46aが蓋体10の立設片12の内面12aと滑り接触し得るように構成されている。   Next, the structure of the compact container A according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, cosmetics can be accommodated in a recess 21 provided in the container body 20, and upright pieces 22 are formed on the periphery of the recess 21. A contact portion 40 is formed on the front side of the upright piece 22. The contact portion 40 is formed as a rib-like contact member 46 formed on the front side of the upright piece 22. A contact surface 46 a is formed on the outer surface of the contact member 46, and the contact surface 46 a is configured to be in sliding contact with the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 of the lid 10.

接触部材46は起立片22の一部として成形されていても良く、起立片22にゴムやポリエチレンのピースを接着して、或いは溶着して形成しても良い。例えば接触部材46をゴムを利用して形成した場合、蓋体10を閉める際に音を発生させることがない。   The contact member 46 may be formed as a part of the upright piece 22, or may be formed by bonding or welding a piece of rubber or polyethylene to the upright piece 22. For example, when the contact member 46 is formed using rubber, no sound is generated when the lid 10 is closed.

上記の如く構成されたコンパクト容器Aでは、蓋体10を容器本体20に対して閉鎖したとき、立設片12の内面12aが接触部材46の接触面46aに接触して該接触部材46を変形させ、蓋体10に対し変形に応じた力を作用させることで、蓋体10の確実な閉鎖を実現することが可能である。   In the compact container A configured as described above, when the lid 10 is closed with respect to the container body 20, the inner surface 12 a of the standing piece 12 contacts the contact surface 46 a of the contact member 46 and deforms the contact member 46. The lid 10 can be reliably closed by applying a force according to the deformation to the lid 10.

またコンパクト容器Aを開放する際には、凹部10d,20dに指を入れ、ヒンジ部30で発生している蓋体10を閉鎖する方向の付勢力と、内面12aと接触部材46との滑り接触による摩擦抵抗である。これらの力は、従来のコンパクト容器に於けるフック機構を解除する際に必要な力と比較して充分に小さく、従って、コンパクト容器Aの閉鎖性を向上させることが可能であり、且つ開放する際に大きな力を必要としない。   Further, when opening the compact container A, a finger is put into the recesses 10d and 20d, the urging force in the direction of closing the lid 10 generated at the hinge portion 30, and the sliding contact between the inner surface 12a and the contact member 46. It is the friction resistance by. These forces are sufficiently small compared to the force required to release the hook mechanism in the conventional compact container, and therefore it is possible to improve and close the compact container A. It does not require great power.

本発明は、蓋体に容器本体とのフック機構のないコンパクト容器に利用可能である。   The present invention can be used for a compact container in which the lid body does not have a hook mechanism with the container body.
