Problem to be solved by the invention

In the three-sided mirror mounted on the small container, in order to ensure that the mirror surface is as wide as possible in the narrow container space, it is preferable to make the central mirror and the first one superimposed thereon in the state in which the three-sided mirror is closed. The side mirror and the second side mirror are folded without a gap.

However, if the three-sided mirror is folded without a gap and the three mirrors just overlap, it is difficult to open and close the three-sided mirror. Specifically, first, it is difficult to open the second side mirror from the closed three-sided mirror. When the first side mirror is opened after the second side mirror is opened, it is difficult to grasp the first side mirror.

Furthermore, when closing the opened three-sided mirror, the first side mirror needs to be closed earlier than the second side mirror, and if the second side mirror is closed earlier than the first side mirror, then the first side is closed again. In the side mirror, the first side mirror is hard to close against the end of the second side mirror in the closed state. If it is forcibly closed, the mounting portion of the mirror may be damaged.

However, for an ordinary user of a small container, once the opened three-sided mirror is closed, if it is not actually closed, it is difficult to grasp which of the side mirrors on both sides of the central mirror should be closed first.

In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to make it easy to open and close a three-sided mirror in a small container with a three-sided mirror.

The present inventors have considered a case where the first side mirror frame is hingedly formed by including a center mirror and a first side mirror and a second side mirror which are sequentially superposed thereon in a state of being closed by a three-sided mirror. When the second side mirror frame is attached to both sides of the center mirror frame, the end of the second side mirror frame on the opposite side of the hinge member is used after the three-sided mirror is superimposed by a normal operation. When the second side mirror frame is configured as described above, when the cover body is opened while the cover is closed by the three-sided mirror, the second side mirror frame is located and The end portion on the opposite side of the hinge member floats from the first side mirror frame, and the second side mirror is easily opened by pressing the end portion by the finger; and the first side mirror frame is opened when the second side mirror is opened. The edge portion is in contact with the hinge member of the second side mirror frame, and the end portion of the first side mirror frame is floated toward the opening direction of the first side mirror in accordance with the rotation of the hinge member of the second side mirror frame. Then, the first side mirror frame that is floated can be held by the finger, so that the first side mirror can be easily opened.

Moreover, it can be seen that, once the opened three-sided mirror is closed, even if the second side mirror is closed before the first side mirror due to inadvertentness, the first closing is started. In the case of the side mirror, the second side mirror that has been closed corresponding to the closing of the first side mirror starts to open, and the end portion of the second side mirror does not cause an obstacle to the closing operation of the first side mirror, and therefore, it is effective in the following aspects. In other words, when the second side mirror is closed in a state in which the first side mirror is opened, the second side mirror housing can be brought into contact with the mirror side surface of the first side mirror housing, and the vicinity thereof can be made 1 The surface of the side mirror frame and the first side mirror are very uneven.

That is, the present invention provides a small container comprising a container body for accommodating a cosmetic material, a lid hingedly fixed to the container body, and a three-sided mirror, the three-sided mirror being sequentially overlapped in a state in which the three-sided mirror is closed The center mirror, the first side mirror, and the second side mirror, the center mirror, the first side mirror, and the second side mirror are respectively attached to the frame body, and have a center mirror frame on the inner side of the cover body, and the first side mirror frame Each of the body and the second side mirror frame is attached to both end portions of the center mirror frame by a hinge member, and at least one of the following structures is provided for easy opening and closing of the three-sided mirror: (A) 2nd The side mirror frame is formed of an elastic resin material, and when the first side mirror is closed, the end portion of the second side mirror frame that is located on the opposite side of the hinge member is pressed toward the first side mirror frame. After the pressing is released, the frame or hinge structure of the second side mirror in which the second side mirror is closed in a state where the end portion is floated from the first side mirror frame; (B) the closed state of the self mirror When the second side mirror is opened, the first side mirror that floats the first side mirror by contacting the edge portion of the first side mirror housing a contact structure in which the frame body is in contact with the hinge member of the second side mirror frame; (C) in the state in which the first side mirror is opened and the second side mirror is closed, the second side mirror frame and the first side mirror are used The mirror side surfaces of the frame are connected to each other, and the second side mirror frame is The radius of curvature of the first side mirror side end portion of the body is from the first side mirror hinge side edge of the first side mirror frame to the surface unevenness in the first side mirror end region in the surface of the first side mirror It is a very smooth frame structure.

According to the small container having the structure (A) of the present invention, in a state in which the three-mirror mirror is closed, the center mirror and the pair of side mirrors are exactly overlapped and folded, so that the portability is excellent, and if the three-sided mirror is self-stacked and the cover is closed When the lid body is opened, the end portion of the second side mirror frame on the opposite side of the hinge member floats from the first side mirror frame, and the finger can be fastened to the end by the finger. The second side mirror.

According to the small container having the contact structure of (B) of the present invention, when the three-mirror is closed, the center mirror and the pair of side mirrors are exactly overlapped and folded, so that the portability is excellent, and the state of the self-closing three-mirror is opened. The side mirror causes the first side mirror frame to float, so that the first side mirror can be easily opened by holding the finger to the floating first side mirror frame.

According to the small container having the structure (C) of the present invention, when the three-mirror is closed, the center mirror, the first side mirror, and the second side mirror are stacked in this order and folded, so that the portability is excellent, and the three-sided mirror is self-opening. If the second side mirror is closed before the first side mirror, and then the first side mirror is closed, if it is inadvertently closed, the closed second side mirror starts to open, thereby using the small container. It can be seen that the closing order of the first side mirror and the second side mirror is opposite.

Further, when the second side mirror is opened, the end portion of the second side mirror does not obstruct the closing operation of the first side mirror, and the first side mirror is not forcibly closed, so that the first side can be prevented. The mirror mounting portion of the side mirror is damaged.

Further, in the small container having any one of the configurations (A), (B), and (C), the second side mirror frame is formed in a region between the second side mirror and the rotating barrel of the hinge member. When there is a concave portion which is more concave than the mirror surface of the second side mirror, when the three-sided mirror is closed by sequentially closing the first side mirror and the second side mirror, even if the first side mirror frame is not completely closed, the first side mirror Since the front end of the frame also slides into the concave portion of the second side mirror frame, the first side mirror and the second side mirror can be smoothly closed without being engaged, which is preferable.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent constituent elements.

Fig. 1A is a perspective view of a small container 1A in an embodiment of the present invention in a state in which the three-mirror 10 is opened, and Fig. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line X-X. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the X-X direction in a state in which the three-sided mirror 10 is superposed and the cover 30 is closed.

The small container 1A includes a three-sided mirror 10, a container body 40 for accommodating a cosmetic material A such as a powder cake, a blush, an eye shadow, and a cover body 30 that can be freely opened and closed to cover an opening surface of the container body 40. The three-sided mirror 10 includes The center mirror 11 and the pair of right and left first side mirrors 14a and the second side mirrors 14b.

In addition to the cosmetic material A, a container for housing a cosmetic device such as a sponge 41, a paint brush, or a blush brush (not shown) is provided in the container body 40.

The lid body 30 includes a case where the center mirror frame 12 is joined to the lid outer member 31, and the center mirror 11 is adhered to the center mirror frame 12 by an adhesive, an adhesive, or the like. a hinge member (not shown) formed on the cover outer member 31 and a hinge member (not shown) formed on the container body 40 on the lower end side of the center mirror 11 The merging causes the lid body 30 to be connected to the container body 40. The lid body 30 is hingedly fixed to the container body 40, and can also be realized by a hinge member formed on the center mirror frame 12 and a hinge member formed on the container body 40.

The pair of side mirrors 14a and 14b are adhered to the side mirror frames 15a and 15b by an adhesive, an adhesive or the like, and the first hinges 13a and 2 are provided at both end portions of the center mirror frame 12. The side frame 15a and 15b are hingedly fixed to the hinge 13b. Specifically, the hinge member 19a of the first side mirror housing 15a and the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b are pinned by pins 16a and 16b. The side frame housings 15a and 15b are hingedly fixed to the hinge members 18a and 18b of the center mirror frame 12.

As shown in Fig. 2, in the small container 1A, the frames 12, 15a, 15b are hingedly fixed such that the central mirror 11, the first side mirror 14a, and the second side mirror 14b of the three-sided mirror 10 coincide with each other. . Then, in a small container, the mirror surface of the three-sided mirror can be as wide as possible.

The small container 1A is characterized in that the above-described (A) structure is provided in order to make the finger easy to be pressed against the first side mirror 14b located at the outside when the closed three-sided mirror 10 is opened. In other words, when the first side mirror 14a of the small container 1A of Fig. 1 is stacked and the second side mirror 14b is superposed, the second side mirror housing 15b is located on the opposite side of the hinge member 19b ( In other words, the end portion 15bx located on the opposite side of the second hinge 13b is pressed against the first side mirror housing 15a as indicated by the arrow, and FIG. 3B is indicated by a solid line, and the second side mirror is pressed by pressing. When the frame 15b is bent as indicated by a broken line and the end portion 15bx abuts against the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a, the cross section of the pressing state is released. Figure.

As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, in the small container 1A, the end portion 15bx of the back surface of the second side mirror housing 15b is pressed against the first side mirror frame by the normal operation of the laminated three-sided mirror 10. The second side mirror frame 15b is slightly curved, and the entire surface of the second side mirror 14b is not completely in surface contact with the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a. In this state, the second side mirror 14b When the pressing is released, the end portion 15bx of the second side mirror housing 15b is floated from the first side mirror housing 15a, thereby forming the second side mirror housing 15b. More specifically, the second hinge 13b of the second side mirror frame 15b is configured to appropriately give a large resistance in response to the pressing to be closed, and is caused by the presence or absence of pressing. The second side mirror frame 15b is made of an elastic resin material in such a manner that it is bent or bent.

When the second hinge 13b is moderately given a large resistance in response to the pressing to be closed, for example, between the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror frame 15b and the hinge member 18b of the center mirror frame 12 is raised. Friction when rotating. As a specific method for solving the problem, as the pin 16b for joining the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror frame 15b and the hinge member 18b of the center mirror frame 12, a waveform as shown in FIG. 4A can be used. The tension is adjusted by the spring pin 16x or the spring pin 16y as shown in Fig. 4B. Further, the magnitude of the frictional force during the rotation between the pin 16b and the hinge members 18b and 19b can be set as follows: the end portion 15bx of the second side mirror housing 15b is oriented in accordance with the normal operation of the laminated three-sided mirror 10. When the first side mirror frame 15a is pressed, the end portion 15bx abuts against the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a. At this time, the second side mirror housing 15b is prevented from rubbing by rotation. The force caused by the pressing of the end portion 15bx The rotation force is reversely applied to both ends, and as a result, the bending is generated (the state shown by the broken line in Fig. 3B), and then the bending disappears after the pressing is released (the state shown by the solid line in Fig. 3B), whereby The end portion 15bx of the side frame 15b of the side mirror floats. For example, it is preferable that the end portion 15bx of the second side mirror housing 15b is pressed against the first side mirror housing 15a, whereby the end portion 15bx of the second side mirror housing 15b is brought into contact with After the back surface 15a of the side mirror housing 15a is released, the end portion 15bx of the second side mirror housing 15b floats from the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a by 1 to 5 mm. about. Moreover, it is preferable that the second side mirror housing 15b is pressed in the vicinity of the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b, whereby the second side mirror housing 15b is hardly bent, and is directly applied under pressure. In the case of the hinge member 19b, the end portion 15bx of the second side mirror housing 15b is not floated, and the second side mirror 14b is almost in surface contact with the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a.

In addition, the method of receiving the resistance of the second side mirror frame 15b with respect to the force to be closed is shown in FIG. 5 on the second side mirror 14b side of the second side mirror housing 15b. In the vicinity of the hinge member 19b on the surface, a projection 17 for preventing the second side mirror 14b from coming into contact with the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a may be provided. In the case where the three-sided mirror 10 is closed, the recessed portion 22 in which the protruding portion 21a of the edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a is slidably inserted is provided in the hinge member of the second side mirror housing 15b. In the case of the vicinity of 19b (refer to FIG. 7A), the projection 17 is provided at a position that does not coincide with the position of the recess 22.

The height of the projection 17 from the mirror surface of the second side mirror 14b is preferably 0.07 to 0.36 mm.

The elastic resin material forming the second side mirror frame 15b is preferably one having excellent elasticity among the resins used in the prior art, for example, a thickness of 0.8 to 2.5. Mm ABS resin, AS resin, PCTA resin (polybutylene terephthalate dimethylene terephthalate / isophthalic acid copolymer), PP resin, and the like.

In the small container 1A, when the lid body 30 is opened from the state in which the lid body 30 of Fig. 2 is closed, the three-sided mirror 10 is located on the opposite side of the hinge member 19b as shown in Fig. 3B. The end portion 15bx is in a state of being floated from the first side mirror housing 15a. Therefore, the finger is fastened to the floating end portion 15bx, whereby the second side mirror 14b can be easily opened.

In the small container with the three-sided mirror, it is preferable that the second side mirror 14b can be easily opened from the three-sided mirror 10 in the closed state by the structure of (A), and the second side is opened on the second side. The first side mirror 14a can also be easily opened after the mirror 14b. Therefore, in the present invention, the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b is provided so as to be in contact with the edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a when the second side mirror 14b is opened, thereby making the first side The contact structure of the (B) in which the mirror 14a floats is preferably provided with the structure of (A).

In the small container 1A of FIG. 1A, the notch portion 20 is provided in the rotating cylinder of the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b, and the edge portion 20a which is the remaining portion of the slit protrudes. Further, the edge portions of the first side mirror frame 15a and the second side mirror frame 15b are provided with protruding portions 21a and 21b which are thinner toward the tip end. Therefore, when the closed three-sided mirror 10 is opened when the small container 1A is used, as shown in FIG. 6A, the finger is first fastened to the protruding portion of the floating end portion 15bx of the second side mirror frame 15b. 21b, thereby opening the second side mirror 14b. Thereby, the 2nd side mirror 14b can be opened easily. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the opening of the second side mirror 14b is increased, the edge portion 20a of the notch portion 20 provided in the rotating cylinder of the second side mirror hinge member 19b is the first side mirror frame. As shown in FIG. 6C, in the state in which the second side mirror 14b is fully opened, the edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a is made easy to be pressed by the finger, as shown in FIG. 6C. The protruding portion 21a floats in a direction in which the first side mirror 14a is opened. Therefore, the first side mirror 14a can be easily opened by fastening the finger to the protruding portion 21a.

Further, in the second side mirror housing 15b of the small container 1A, a concave portion 22 which is more recessed than the mirror surface of the second side mirror 14b is formed between the second side mirror 14b and the rotating cylinder of the hinge member 19b. Then, when the opened three-sided mirror 10 is closed, first closing the first side mirror 14a and then closing the second side mirror 14b, in the former three-sided mirror, if the first side mirror 14a is not completely closed, the first closing is performed. In the side mirror 14b, the first side mirror 14a is engaged and the second side mirror 14b is difficult to close. However, according to the small container, as shown in FIG. 7A, the first side mirror 14b is abutted on the second side mirror 14b. The protruding portion 21a of the edge portion of the side mirror frame 15a slides into the concave portion 22 of the second side mirror housing 15b. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 7B, the second side mirror 14b is smoothly closed without being engaged.

In the present invention, the contact structure of (B) can adopt various other aspects. For example, the small container 1B of FIG. 8 is provided with a contact structure that is in contact with the edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a, and is provided on the rotating cylinder of the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b. Rib 23 . Fig. 9A is an enlarged view along the X-X cross section of the small container 1B of Fig. 8 in a closed state. According to the small container 1B, when the closed three-sided mirror 10 is opened, when the second side mirror 14b is first opened, the rib portion 23 of the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b will be as shown in Fig. 9B. The protruding portion 21a of the edge portion of the first side mirror frame 15a is pushed up, and as shown in Fig. 9C, the second side mirror 14b is completely opened. In this state, the protruding portion 21a of the edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a floats in the opening direction of the first side mirror 14a so that the finger can be easily attached. Therefore, the first side mirror 14a can be easily opened by fastening the finger to the protruding portion 21a.

In the contact structure of (B), in order to bring the hinge member 19b of the second side mirror housing 15b into contact with the edge of the first side mirror housing 15a, the second side mirror frame is not required. The hinge member 19b of the body 15b is provided with a structure such as the notch portion 20 or the rib portion 23, and is brought into contact by adjusting the position and size of the first side mirror housing 15a and the hinge member 19b. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10A, it is preferable to provide the anti-slip member 24 such as a rubber material on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating cylinder of the hinge member 19b. In this case, it is preferable that the anti-slip member 25 is provided at the edge of the first side mirror housing 15a, and the anti-slip member 25 and the second side are provided when the side mirrors 14a and 14b are opened and closed. The anti-slip members 24 on the hinge member 19b of the mirror frame 15b are in contact with each other, so that the frictional force when the two are in contact can be improved. As a result, when the second side mirror 14b of the closed three-mirror 10 is opened, the first side mirror housing 15a is slid by the frictional force between the anti-slip members 24 and 25 as shown in FIG. 10B. As shown in FIG. 10C, in the state in which the second side mirror 14b is fully opened, the edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a is floated to such an extent that the finger can be easily pressed. Therefore, the first side mirror 14a can be easily opened by fastening the finger thereto.

The small container 1C of Fig. 11A is a perspective view similar to the above-described small container 1A, and has a configuration of (A) and a configuration of (B), and Fig. 11B is a cross-sectional view taken along line X-X. Moreover, Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the X-X direction in a state in which the three-sided mirror 10 of the small container 1C is superposed and the lid body 30 is closed. In the small container 1C, the circumference of the mirror side of the first side mirror housing 15a The peripheral portion of the edge portion and the mirror-side surface of the second side mirror frame 15b is provided with rib portions 27a and 27b which protrude from the mirror surface and extend along the edge. Therefore, when the three-sided mirror 10 is closed, as shown in FIG. 12, the rib portion 27a of the peripheral edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a abuts against the central mirror frame 12, and the second side mirror frame The rib portion 27b of the peripheral portion of the 15b abuts against the back surface of the first side mirror housing 15a. By the ribs 27a and 27b, it is possible to absorb the impact when the small container 1A is shaken during transportation or inadvertently dropped, thereby preventing the mirror from being damaged. In the small container 1C, as shown in the figure, the rib portion 27a of the peripheral edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a is located at the edge of the first side mirror housing 15a on the opposite side of the hinge member 19a. The rib portion 27b of the peripheral edge portion of the second side mirror frame 15b is also located at the edge of the second side mirror frame 15b on the opposite side of the hinge member 19b. Therefore, the rib portions 27a and 27b are provided. The mirror can be protected.

Further, in the case of the small container 1C, when the state in which the first side mirror 14a and the second side mirror 14b are closed when the three-mirror 10 is closed from the open state, the situation can be easily known, and it has (C) In this configuration, even if the order in which the first side mirror 14a and the second side mirror 14b are closed is reversed, the first side mirror 14a can be smoothly closed, and the mounting portion of the first side mirror housing 15a can be prevented. Damaged. That is, FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the lid body 30 in a state in which the first side mirror is completely opened and the second side mirror 14b is closed to close the opening when the opened three-sided mirror is closed, and a partial enlarged view thereof. As shown in the figure, in this state, the first side mirror side end portion of the second side mirror housing 15b (that is, the side of the second side mirror housing 15b on the opposite side of the hinge member 19b) is provided. a protruding portion 21b of a portion of the portion farthest from the hinge member 19b, and a first side mirror frame The faces of the mirror side of the body 15a are joined. In the state in which the second side mirror 14b is closed and closed, the first side mirror side end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b extends beyond the hinge member 19a of the first side mirror housing 15a. For example, the rib portion 27b of the second side mirror frame 15b may be in contact with the mirror side surface of the first side mirror housing 15a, but the three-sided mirror 10 in the small container 1C may be housed. In terms of the nature, it is preferable that the first side mirror side end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is in contact with the mirror side surface of the first side mirror housing 15a.

Further, the radius of curvature R2 of the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is at least from the side edge of the hinge member 19a of the first side mirror of the first side mirror housing 15a to the surface of the first side mirror The surface unevenness in the first side mirror end region P is very smooth, and when the first side mirror 14a is closed, the first side mirror side end portion 21b of the second side mirror side frame 15b slides in the region P. Of course, there is no large unevenness that becomes a barrier, and the surface material of the region P can be selected from materials having a small frictional force and causing no adhesion or the like.

Here, with respect to the radius of curvature R2 of the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b, the surface unevenness of the first side mirror end portion P is very smooth, as shown by the arrow in FIG. In the side mirror 14a, the end portion 21b of the second side mirror frame 15b that is in contact with the first side mirror end region P can be laterally moved from the hinge member 19a side to the first side in the first side mirror end portion region P. The direction of the central portion of the mirror 14a is unobstructed, and more specifically, the second side mirror frame 15b is used except that the first side mirror end region P is flat as shown in FIG. The radius of curvature R2 of the end portion 21b is larger than the radius of curvature R1 of the surface unevenness of the first side mirror end portion P (refer to FIG. 16A) or the height of the step of the surface unevenness of the first side mirror end portion P. (See Fig. 17A).

Further, the specific value of the radius of curvature R2 of the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is preferably 1 to 3 mm.

As shown in Fig. 13, the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is in contact with the mirror side surface of the first side mirror housing 15a, and is curved with respect to the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b. The radius R2 makes the surface unevenness of the first side mirror end region P very smooth. Therefore, when the first side mirror 14a is closed as indicated by the arrow from the state of the same figure, the second side mirror is as shown in FIG. 14A. The end portion 21b of the frame 15b slides in the direction of the central portion of the first side mirror 14a on the first side mirror housing 15a, and further passes over the first side mirror housing 15a and the first portion as shown in Fig. 14B. 1 The boundary portion of the side mirror 14a, as shown in Fig. 14C, the second side mirror 14b is opened. As described above, with the closing operation of the first side mirror 14a, the closed second side mirror 14b is opened, whereby the user of the small container 1C can see that the closing order of the first side mirror 14a and the second side mirror 14b is reversed.

In addition, when the second side mirror 14b is opened, the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b does not hinder the closing operation of the first side mirror 14a, and further, as shown in FIG. 14D, It is not necessary to forcibly close the first side mirror 14a, and it is also possible to eliminate the damage of the mounting portion of the mirror by closing the first side mirror 14a.

On the other hand, in the small container 1X shown in FIG. 18A, the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is located even in the state in which the first side mirror 14a is completely opened and the second side mirror 14b is closed. When the vicinity of the hinge member 19a of the side mirror 14a does not reach the mirror side surface of the first side mirror housing 15a, even if the first side mirror 14a is closed, the second side mirror housing 15b does not. When the first side mirror 14a is closed, as shown in FIG. 18B, the second side mirror housing 15b is opened. The second side mirror frame 15b prevents the operation of closing the first side mirror 14a by the action of the first side mirror frame 15a.

In the state in which the second side mirror 14b is closed, the second side mirror housing 15b is formed to have a narrow width so that the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b does not reach the hinge member 19a. Further, when the hinge members 19a, 19b of the side mirrors are formed at a high height (higher projection from the plane of the center frame 12), even if the closing order of the first side mirror 14a and the second side mirror 14b is reversed It is also possible to close the three-sided mirror, but it is difficult to meet the requirement of accommodating the three-mirror in a small container as much as possible in a small container and as much as possible to ensure a wide mirror surface.

In the small container 1C of Fig. 15, the rib portion of the peripheral edge portion of the first side mirror housing 15a is provided on the opposite side of the hinge member 19a of the first side mirror housing 15a. The side (rib portion 27a) is also provided in the vicinity of the hinge member 19a (rib portion 27a'). Thus, by providing the rib portions 27a, 27a', it is possible to more reliably prevent the small container 1B from being closed. The three-mirror 10 is shaken, and the mirror can be protected against the impact of the small container 1B when it is shaken during carrying or inadvertently dropped.

In the present invention, the radius of curvature R1 of the rib portion 27a' in the vicinity of the hinge member 19a is made smaller than the radius of curvature R2 of the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b. As shown in FIG. 16A, when the first side mirror 14a is closed from the state in which the first side mirror 14a is completely opened and the second side mirror 14b is closed, the second side mirror housing 15b is as shown in FIG. 16B. The end portion 21b is in contact with the rib portion 27a'. However, the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is slidable over the surface of the first side mirror housing 15a over the rib portion 27a'. The first side mirror 14a is closed, and as shown in Fig. 16C, the second side mirror 14b is opened.

In the small container 1C of the above-described small container 1C, the edge portion 14p of the first side mirror 14a is cut in advance to prevent the mirror from being broken, and the first side mirror 14a is placed on the surface of the first side mirror housing. The mirror is facing the lower side of the frame. When the edge portion 14p of the first side mirror 14a is cut and the mirror surface is lowered, a gap between the height difference h and the width W is formed on the surface of the first side mirror end portion P, but in the present invention, The radius of curvature of the end portion 21b of the second side mirror housing 15b is made larger with respect to the height h of the step or the width W of the gap. As a result, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the first side mirror 14a is closed from the state in which the first side mirror 14a is completely opened and the second side mirror is closed, even the end portion of the second side mirror housing 15b is closed. 21b, in response to the step, can further continue to close the first side mirror 14a, and the second side mirror 14b can be opened.

Although the small container having the structure of (A), (B), and (C) has been described above, the small container may have a separate one of (A), (B), and (C). One or any combination of the three.
