Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact container in which the inner tray containing the cosmetic product can be replaced. In cosmetic compact containers, those with replaceable inner trays containing the cosmetic product are widely used. In such replaceable-tray types, a retaining frame is required to hold the tray in place, and this frame is rotatably connected to the main body along with the lid. The retaining frame is held to the main body by an engaging mechanism, such as engaging claws. The inner tray is replaced by releasing the engaging mechanism, raising the retaining frame, and rotating it. Furthermore, when raising and rotating the retaining frame to replace the inner tray, as disclosed in, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2, a hole is often made in the bottom of the main body and a pin is used to push the retaining frame up from below. On the other hand, Patent Document 3 discloses a structure in which, when the lid is opened 180 degrees, the base of the retaining frame is pressed by the base of the lid, causing the retaining frame to open and rotate.

(1) Basic structure of the first embodiment Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. First, the first embodiment (main embodiment) shown in Figures 1 to 6 will be described. As clearly shown in Figure 2, the compact container of this embodiment comprises a main body 1, a retaining frame 2, and a lid 3, each formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, and these members are connected by a pin 4 at one of the short sides so as to be able to rotate relative to each other. The main body 1, the retaining frame 2, and the lid 3 are all molded products made of synthetic resin such as ABS. In the following, the terms "front/back" and "left/right" are used to specify direction. The direction of the pivot axis is defined as the left/right direction, and the direction perpendicular to the pivot axis is defined as the front/back direction. For front and back, the side with the free end is considered the front, and the side with the pivot point is considered the rear. For clarity, the directions are clearly indicated in Figure 1(A). While the compact container in this embodiment has a front-to-back elongated shape, a left-to-right elongated shape or a square shape can also be adopted. As clearly shown in Figure 2, the main body 1 is formed in a shallow tray shape with a front wall 5, a rear wall 6, side walls 7, and a bottom surface (bottom plate). Approximately two-thirds of the rear portion of the bottom surface is designed to accommodate two rows of inner trays 8. Therefore, to position the inner trays 8, horizontal ribs 9 and vertical ribs 10 are formed on the bottom surface. The inner trays 8 are rectangular trays with an upward opening, and contain cosmetic products such as creams or powders. In this embodiment, the main body 1 has two rows of tray placement areas, front and back. While Figures 1 and 2 show four trays 8, the width of each tray 8 can be arbitrarily set. For example, it is possible to place one tray in each of the front and back areas, or to place one tray 8 and two trays 8 separately in the front and back areas, or to place three or more trays 8 in a single area. Users can select their preferred cosmetics and set them in the compact container. The retaining frame 2 holds the inner tray 8 in place to prevent it from detaching. Flanges 11a to 11c are formed around its four sides, overlapping the upper surface of the main body 1. A recessed area 12 for accommodating an applicator is formed at the front, with elongated sides and a bottom. The area behind the applicator recess 12 is an opening 13 that exposes the inner tray 8. The applicator housin
