Cosmetic container

摘要

A cosmetic container which is capable of stabilizing an action of a hinge portion is provided with a single pivot shaft member, and improving opening and closing functions of a lid body. Included are: a container main body configured to contain a cosmetic; a lid body turnably provided to the container main body and capable of opening and closing the container main body; and a first pivot support member and a second pivot support mechanism disposed on a pivot axis about which the lid body turns, and causing the container main body to turnably support the lid body. The first pivot support member includes: a compression coil spring located between the container main body and the lid body; and a lock member and a pivot member. The second pivot support mechanism includes fan-shaped recessed and projecting portions and a shaft portion of the second pivot support member.

主权项

1. A cosmetic container comprising:
a container main body configured to contain a cosmetic and having a first and second hinge sections provided along an edge of the container main body; a lid body connected to the container main body and having first and second hinge sections provided along an edge of the lid body and aligned with the two hinge sections of the container main body to allow the lid body to open and close the container main body; and a pivot support means disposed in the first hinge sections of the container body and the lid body, a pivot support mechanism disposed in the second hinge sections of the container body and the lid body, the pivot support means including
a compression coil spring located between the first hinge sections of the container body and the lid body and configured to generate resilience when compressed along a pivot axis of the hinge sections, andmeans for compressing the compression coil spring and releasing the compression of the compression coil spring in turn along the pivot axis by turning operation of the lid body, and the pivot support mechanism includes a shaft portion stationary provided on one of the second hinge sections of the container main body and the lid body and recessed portions provided in the other of the second hinge sections of the container main body and the lid body, said shaft portion being slidably engaged with and disengaged from the recessed portions in turn when the lid body is turned about the axis of the hinge sections, whereby when the lid body is turned about the container main body from the position that the shaft portion in the second hinge section is engaged with the recessed section toward the position to be disengaged with the recessed section, the lid body is shifted relative to the container main body along the axis of the hinge sections and the compression coil spring in the first hinge section is compressed further to generate a reaction force to hold the lid body in position to the container main body.
