Is also displayed.

Japanese Patent No. 4216619 JP 2007-167341 A

In the conventional cosmetic container comprising the main body, lid, mirror, and protective sheet, in many cases, a part (fixed surface) of the protective sheet is placed between the inner tray for storing the cosmetic and the main body. The other part (partition surface) fixed to the main body and connected to a part of the protective sheet is configured to partition the main body and the mirror. However, the following problems are recognized in the conventional cosmetic container configured as described above.
(1) When the partition surface of the protective sheet is set to a position for partitioning the main body and the mirror, the operation is performed immediately above the middle plate. Easy to get dirty with cosmetics.
(2) It is difficult to easily perform the operation of moving the partition surface of the protective sheet with only one hand while holding the main body with one hand.
(3) When information is displayed on the partition surface of the protective sheet, the display is located in the vicinity of the center plate away from the mirror, so it is easy to check the information while applying makeup while looking at the mirror. It ’s difficult.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and a cosmetic container in which fingers and hands are hardly soiled with cosmetics and the operation of moving the partition surface of the protective sheet can be easily performed with one hand. The purpose is to provide.

A cosmetic container according to the present invention comprises:
A main body with a container for containing cosmetics;
A lid connected to the main body so that the main body can be opened and closed;
A mirror attached to the inner surface of the lid,
In a cosmetic container comprising a protective sheet having a part that partitions between the main body and the mirror,
The protective sheet has a fixed sheet surface at least partially fixed between the lid and the mirror, and is connected to the fixed sheet surface so as to be foldable. When the main body is closed with the lid, the main body and the mirror It has the partition sheet surface located between these.

In addition, the matter that the above-mentioned partition sheet surface is “be connected to the fixed sheet surface so that it can be bent” refers to the case where the partition sheet surface is connected to the fixed sheet surface so that it can be bent directly, and the partition sheet surface is fixed. Both the case where it is connected to the sheet surface via another sheet surface so as to be directly foldable are included.

As an example of the latter of the above two cases, in the decorative container of the present invention, the protective sheet has an intermediate surface extending along the end surface of the mirror between the fixed sheet surface and the partition sheet surface. It is desirable that the cross section has a U shape.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is desirable that the fixed sheet surface and the partition sheet surface are connected on the left side of the mirror. In this case, the “left side” means that, when using a cosmetic container, the main body is held in a substantially horizontal orientation as is generally the case, and the lid mirror in the open state is viewed from the main body side. Say it means the left side when you look.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is desirable that at least the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet is formed of a transparent material.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is desirable that information is displayed on the partition sheet surface.

Such information is desirably displayed on the surface facing the mirror side when the partition sheet surface is positioned between the main body and the mirror, out of the two surfaces of the partition sheet surface.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, it is desirable that the partition sheet surface is deformable to a position deviated from between the main body and the mirror by receiving an external force.

Further, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, when the partition sheet surface is a substantially rectangular one, out of the two corners of the edge opposite to the side connected to the fixed sheet surface of the partition sheet surface, It is desirable that at least one be chamfered.

Furthermore, in the decorative container of the present invention, it is desirable that the partition sheet surface is provided with a notch that avoids interference with the protruding portion of the main body when the partition sheet surface is bent with respect to the fixed sheet surface. .

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, the protective sheet is connected to the fixed sheet surface, at least a part of which is fixed between the lid and the mirror, and is foldably connected to the fixed sheet surface. Since it has a partition sheet surface located between the main body and the mirror when it is closed, the mirror may be soiled by the cosmetic material contained in the main body due to the partition sheet surface as in the conventional device. Is prevented.

Also, since the protective sheet has the above-described configuration, when the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet is set to a position for partitioning between the main body and the mirror, the operation is performed on the mirror. If so, unlike the case where the operation is performed immediately above the middle dish, it is difficult for the fingers and hands to be stained with the cosmetic in the middle dish.

Also, since the protective sheet is configured as described above, the operation of moving the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet can be easily performed with only one hand while holding the main body with one hand. The reason will be described in detail later according to the embodiment.

Furthermore, since the protective sheet has the above-described configuration, when information is displayed on the partition sheet surface of the protective sheet, the display is located in the vicinity of the mirror. Therefore, it is possible to easily confirm the information while making up while looking at the mirror.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a perspective shape of a cosmetic container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The cosmetic container 10 of the present embodiment includes a main body 11 and a lid body 12 that can be opened and closed and is connected to the main body 11. Both the main body 11 and the lid body 12 are formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape whose outer shape is, for example, substantially thin using synthetic resin or the like as an example. The lid 12 is connected to the main body 11 through a hinge 13 so as to be swingable in the direction of arrow A in the figure, and an open state in which the upper part of the main body 11 is opened as shown in FIG. The closed state can be set.

Here, the directions such as “up”, “down”, “left”, “right” and “front” in the description of the embodiment of the present invention are generally the same when using the cosmetic container 10. As shown, each direction when the main body 11 is held in a substantially horizontal direction and the mirror 18 of the lid 12 in the open state is viewed from the main body 11 side is assumed.

The main body 11 is provided with receiving portions 11b and 11c that are recessed inward from the upper surface 11a. And in these accommodating parts 11b and 11c, the middle dishes 14 and 15 which are containers which accommodate cosmetics are stored, respectively. The intermediate dishes 14 and 15 are also made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and are fixed to the accommodating portions 11b and 11c with an adhesive or the like, or can be appropriately taken out without being fixed.

In the middle dishes 14 and 15, cosmetics 16 and 17 are accommodated, respectively. Examples of the cosmetics 16 and 17 include foundations, lipsticks, and eye shadows, but are not limited thereto. Further, either or both of the inner dishes 14 and 15 may be divided into two or more sections, and different cosmetics may be accommodated in each section. Moreover, you may accommodate cosmetic tools, such as sponge for application | coating for cosmetics, and a brush, directly in one of the accommodating parts 11b and 11c or through an intermediate plate.

Furthermore, without using the intermediate dish 14 or 15, the containers 11b and 11c may be used as containers and the cosmetics may be directly stored therein. In the present invention, the main body 11 thus formed is also included in the “main body including a container for storing cosmetics”.

Note that an engagement protrusion 12 a is formed in the vicinity of the tip of the lid 12, and an engagement portion 11 d is provided in the vicinity of the front end of the main body 11. When the upper surface 11a of the main body 11 is closed by the lid body 12, the engagement protrusion 12a is engaged with the engagement portion 11d, and this closed state is maintained. Further, when the engaging portion 11d is pushed into the hinge 13 (arrow B direction), for example, the engaged state is released. If it will be in this state, it can set to the open state which rock | fluctuates the cover body 12 and open | releases the upper surface 11a of the main body 11, ie, the state shown in FIG.

A mirror 18 used for makeup is attached to the inner surface of the lid 12. The mirror 18 is formed in a rectangular shape as an example in accordance with the shape of the lid 12. Further, a protective sheet 20 is fixed to the lid body 12. FIG. 2 shows a perspective shape of the protective sheet 20, and FIG. 3 schematically shows a fixing structure of the protective sheet 20. Hereinafter, the protective sheet 20 will be described in detail with reference to these drawings.

As shown in FIG. 2, the protective sheet 20 has three surfaces connected to each other, that is, a fixed sheet surface 20a, an intermediate surface 20b, and a partition sheet surface 20c, and has a U-shaped cross section. ing. That is, the partition sheet surface 20c is connected to the fixed sheet surface 20a via the intermediate surface 20b therebetween.

As an example, the outer peripheral edge of the fixed sheet surface 20a is substantially rectangular. The partition sheet surface 20c is also generally rectangular as an example, but the two corners 20e and 20f of the edge 20d opposite to the side connected to the fixed sheet surface 20a are rounded and chamfered. Further, a notch 20g is provided at a lower edge of the partition sheet surface 20c (an edge located on the lower side in the usage state of the cosmetic container 10) at a position close to the intermediate surface 20b. The two corners 20e and 20f may be chamfered linearly in addition to being rounded.

The protective sheet 20 having the above shape is formed of, for example, a thin transparent synthetic resin, and can be deformed as a whole. Therefore, the partition sheet surface 20c of the protective sheet 20 can swing while being deformed in the direction of arrow C in the figure around the bent portion with the intermediate surface 20b when an external force is applied. If the protective sheet 20 is formed of a transparent material as described above, the effect of facilitating the visual recognition of the mirror 18 can be obtained. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the protective sheet 20 may be formed of a translucent or opaque material.

The protective sheet 20 is fixed to the lid 12 as shown in FIG. In addition, this FIG. 3 has shown the cross section which looked at the center part of the up-down direction of the cover body 12 with which the protection sheet 20 was fixed from upper direction. Also, FIG. 3 is schematic and the dimensions of the elements shown therein are different from the actual dimensions. As illustrated, the fixed sheet surface 20 a is fixed to the inner surface of the lid body 12 by being bonded to the lid body 12 by the adhesive layer 30. Further, the mirror 18 is bonded and fixed to the fixed sheet surface 20 a by the adhesive layer 31. If necessary, the end surface of the mirror 18 and the intermediate surface 20b may be fixed by bonding or the like.

Here, the adhesive layer 30 and the adhesive layer 31 can be, for example, an adhesive layer, but are not limited thereto, and the fixed sheet surface 20a can be fixed to the lid 12 using a double-sided tape. Furthermore, the fixed sheet surface 20a can be fixed to the lid body 12 by ultrasonic bonding or the like.

Hereinafter, the operation of the cosmetic container 10 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state where the lid 12 is set to the open position as described above. When applying makeup using the cosmetic container 10, the user first holds the main body 11 from the lower side with the left hand M, for example, and sets the lid 12 to the open position, as shown. At this time, the partition sheet surface 20c of the protective sheet 20 is in the state shown in FIG. That is, when the lid body 12 is in the closed position, the partition sheet surface 20 c is located between the main body 11 and the mirror 18. Thereby, the mirror 18 can be prevented from being soiled by the cosmetics 16 and 17.

After the user sets the lid body 12 to the open position, the partition sheet surface 20c in the state shown in FIG. 1 is swung from the edge 20d by the thumb P of the left hand M, for example, as shown in FIG. Thus, the front surface of the mirror 18 is pushed and expanded to a position where it is opened. That is, at this time, the partition sheet surface 20 c is deformed to a position deviated from between the main body 11 and the mirror 18. As a result, the user can use the cosmetic 16 or 17 while looking at the mirror 18, and can make up using the cosmetics if the cosmetic is stored in the storage portion 11 b or 11 c as described above. .

In the present embodiment, the bent portion (the connecting portion of both) of the partition sheet surface 20c and the intermediate surface 20b is set on the left side of the mirror 18. Therefore, if the user holds the main body 11 with the left hand M that is not used for the operation of the cosmetic tool, the user can easily turn the partition sheet surface 20c using the thumb P of the left hand M as described above. it can. However, it is not always necessary to set the bent portion on the left side of the mirror 18, and it may be set on the right side, upper side, or lower side of the mirror 18. In particular, when the bent portion is set on the right side of the mirror 18, the cosmetic container can be provided as suitable for a left-handed person.

Even if the bent portion is set on either side of the mirror 18, the partition sheet surface 20 c can be disposed in the immediate vicinity of the mirror 18 as long as the fixed sheet surface 20 a is fixed to the back side of the mirror 18. As will be described later, information may be displayed on the partition sheet surface 20c. However, if the partition sheet surface 20c is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the mirror 18, when the makeup is made while looking at the mirror 18, Information can be easily viewed and read.

Further, when the lid 12 is closed, the partition sheet surface 20c is moved to a position facing the mirror 18, and then the closing operation is performed. Unlike the case where it moves to the position facing 16 and 17, the possibility that the user's finger or hand is accidentally soiled with the cosmetics 16 and 17 is also reduced.

Furthermore, the mirror 18 is generally much larger than the middle dishes 14 and 15. If the fixing sheet surface 20a is fixed to the back side of such a mirror 18, a bonding space for fixing, a welding space, and the like can be widened. Thereby, the adhesion | attachment of the stable protection sheet 20 is attained.

In the present embodiment, since the two corners 20e and 20f of the partition sheet surface 20c are rounded and chamfered, an effect of protecting the user's hand and fingers from the corners 20e and 20f can be obtained. The corners 20e and 20f of the partition sheet surface 20c are located farthest from the bent portion with the intermediate surface 20b, so that the cosmetics 16 and 17 can be contacted when the partition sheet surface 20c is deformed. High nature. However, if the corners 20e and 20f are chamfered, an effect of avoiding such contact and preventing the partition sheet surface 20c from being stained can be obtained.

In the present embodiment, the partition sheet surface 20c does not become parallel to the mirror 18 unless an external force is applied thereto, and remains in a floating state with a slight angle with respect to the mirror 18. This angle is, for example, about 15 to 20 °. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the right side of the hinge 13 in the main body 11 is a protruding portion 11 f that protrudes slightly outward from the hinge 13. When the lid 12 is swung in the closing direction while lightly pressing the partition sheet surface 20c against the mirror 18 from the state shown in FIG. 4, the portion close to the corner 20f of the partition sheet surface 20c is hooked on the protrusion 11f. The floating of the partition sheet surface 20c is suppressed. If the lid 12 is set to the closed position as it is, the partition sheet surface 20c is positioned between the main body 11 and the mirror 18.

Thereafter, even when the lid 12 is swung to the open position in order to use the cosmetic container 10, the state where the portion close to the corner portion 20f of the partition sheet surface 20c is lightly hooked on the protruding portion 11f is maintained. From this state, as described above, the operation of turning the edge 20d of the partition sheet surface 20c using the thumb P of the left hand M is performed. At that time, the portion of the partition sheet surface 20c close to the corner 20f is elastically deformed. Thus, it easily comes off from the protruding portion 11f.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the left side of the hinge 13 in the main body 11 is a protruding portion 11 g that protrudes slightly outward from the hinge 13. Correspondingly, the notch 20g as described above is provided on the partition sheet surface 20c. Therefore, when swinging the partition sheet surface 20c, the protruding portion 11g relatively moves in the notch 20g, and the partition sheet surface 20c is prevented from interfering with the protruding portion 11g.

Here, another example of the structure for fixing the protective sheet 20 and the mirror 18 to the lid 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In these drawings, the same elements as those already described are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted unless necessary (hereinafter the same). In this example, as shown in FIG. 5, the fixed sheet surface 20 a of the protective sheet 20 has an opening 20 h in the center. As shown in FIG. 6, the fixed sheet surface 20 a is fixed to the inner surface of the lid body 12 by adhering the peripheral portion of the opening 20 h to the lid body 12 with the adhesive layer 30. The mirror 18 is bonded and fixed to the lid body 12 with an adhesive layer 31 that has passed through the opening 20h. Further, in this case, since the protective sheet 20 is fixed by the lid 12, the mirror 18, and the adhesive layer 31, the adhesive layer 30 can be deleted.

In the embodiment described above, the partition sheet surface 20c is connected to the intermediate surface 20b so as to be foldable. As described above, even in the case where the intermediate surface 20b is interposed in this way, in the present invention, "the partition sheet surface 20c is connected to the fixed sheet surface 20a so as to be foldable". It is.

The cosmetic container of the present invention is not limited thereto, and a configuration in which the partition sheet surface 20c is directly connected to the fixed sheet surface 20a so as to be foldable can also be adopted. FIG. 7 shows an example of the protective sheet having such a configuration.

The protective sheet 120 shown in FIG. 7 is configured by removing the intermediate surface 20b from the protective sheet 20 shown in FIG. The protective sheet 120 is fixed to the lid 12 as shown in FIG. 8, for example. The fixing structure of the protective sheet 120 is basically the same as the fixing structure of the protective sheet 20 shown in FIG. 2 except that there is no intermediate surface 20b.

Next, still another embodiment of the protective sheet will be described with reference to FIG. The protective sheet 220 shown in FIG. 9 has information 201 and 202 displayed on one surface of the partition sheet surface 20c. In addition, said "one surface" in this example is a surface which faces a mirror side when the partition sheet surface 20c is located between the main body 11 and the mirror 18 among the two surfaces of the partition sheet surface 20c. It is.

The above-described information 201 shows, for example, the arrangement state of cosmetics and cosmetic tools in the main body 11 (see FIG. 1 and the like). On the other hand, the information 202 is a description of characters, explanations, and cautions regarding cosmetics and makeup tools. In addition, the information 202 by characters includes explanations and cautions regarding the operation of the cosmetic container, such as “please put the protective sheet in the cover before covering.”

The information 201 and 202 may be displayed on the other surface of the partition sheet surface 20c (that is, the surface facing away from the mirror when the partition sheet surface 20c is positioned between the main body 11 and the mirror 18). Absent. However, if the information 201, 202 is displayed on the one surface, the partition sheet surface 20c is swung to the side from the position facing the mirror 18, and the makeup is performed while looking at the mirror 18. 201 and 202 can be easily confirmed. Further, when the information 201, 202 is displayed on the one surface described above, the possibility that the information 201, 202 is soiled by the cosmetics 16, 17 is reduced.
