Abstract

A cosmetic box consists of a bottom part with a closure element, which is moulded on integrally, and a lid, which is connected to the bottom part in the manner of a hinge, with a closure projection, into which the closure element engages. The technical problem is to design the cosmetic box in such a way that the closure element is constructed integrally with the bottom part and allows actuation which is appropriate to the function. In the end wall (5) parallel to the outer edge, the bottom part (1) has a rectangular recess (6) which is bridged by a web (7) which serves as a closure element and extends parallel to the outer edge. Seated on the web (7) is an actuating grip (9) which allows movement of the web transversely to the outer edge. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kosmetikdose aus einem Bodenteil mit einem integral angeformten Verschlußelement und aus einem mit dem Bodenteil scharnierartig verbundenen Deckel mit einer Verschlußnase, in die das Verschlußelement einrastet.The invention relates to a cosmetic jar consisting of a base part with an integrally formed closure element and a lid which is connected to the base part in a hinge-like manner and has a closure nose into which the closure element engages.

Bei einer bekannten Kosmetikdose ist das Verschlußelement an einem Einsatz des Bodenteils angeformt.In a known cosmetic jar, the closure element is molded onto an insert of the base part.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine solche Ausbildung der Kosmetikdose, daß das Verschlußelement einstückig mit dem Bodenteil ausgebildet ist und eine funktionsgerechte Betätigung ermöglicht.The object of the invention is such a design of the cosmetic jar that the closure element is integrally formed with the bottom part and enables a functionally appropriate actuation.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß das Bodenteil in der Stirnwand parallel zur Außenkante eine rechtkantige Ausnehnung aufweist, die von einem als Verschlußelement dienenden, parallel zur Außenkante verlaufenden Steg überbrückt ist, und daß an dem Steg ein Betätigungsgriff sitzt, der eine Bewegung des Steges quer zur Außenkante ermöglicht.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the bottom part has a right-angled recess in the end wall parallel to the outer edge, which is bridged by a web serving as a closure element and running parallel to the outer edge, and in that an actuating handle is seated on the web that moves allows the web across the outer edge.

Die Erfindung unterscheidet sich insofern vom Stand der Technik, als der Steg durch Eindrücken des Betätigungsgriffes bogenförmig verformbar ist, so daß das Mittelteil des Steges die Verschlußnase des Deckels freigibt. Der Betätigungsgriff wird parallel zur Außenkante der Kosmetikdose verschoben. Eine Torsionsbeaanspruchung des Steges tritt dabei nicht auf.The invention differs from the prior art in that the web can be deformed in an arc by pressing in the actuating handle, so that the central part of the web releases the locking nose of the cover. The operating handle is moved parallel to the outer edge of the cosmetic jar. There is no torsional stress on the web.

Eine ergonomisch günstige Verschiebung des Steges wird dadurch erreicht, daß der Betätigungsgriff etwa so breit wie die Breite der Ausnehmung ist und über zwei schmale Schenkel mit dem Steg Verbindung hat.An ergonomically favorable displacement of the web is achieved in that the actuating handle is approximately as wide as the width of the recess and has a connection to the web via two narrow legs.

Eine Anhebung des Deckels bei Freigabe des Steges wird dadurch sichergestellt, daß die Oberseite des Betätigungsgriffes einen nach innen gegen die Bodenfläche hin abfallenden Abschnitt aufweist.Raising the lid when the web is released is ensured by the fact that the top of the operating handle moves one after the other has on the inside towards the bottom surface sloping section.

Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird im Folgenden unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegende Zeichnung erläutert, in der darstellen:

Fig. 1
eine Stirnaansicht der Kosmetikdose mit teilweise angehobenem Deckel,
Fig. 2
eine Draufsicht auf das Bodenteil
Fig. 3
einen Teilschnitt durch den Verschlußbereich in vergrößertem Maßstab.
An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1
an end view of the cosmetic jar with the lid partially raised,
Fig. 2
a top view of the bottom part
Fig. 3
a partial section through the closure area on an enlarged scale.

Die Kosmetikdose umfaßt ein Bodenteil 1 und einen Deckel 2, die an der Rückseite 3 scharnierartig miteinander verbunden sind. Das Bodenteil enthält mehrere Kammern 4 zur Aufnahme von Puderpfannen, Schminkpfannen, Schminkgeräten und dergleichen. In Deckel 2 kann ein nichtdargestellter Spiegel angeordnet sein.The cosmetic jar comprises a base part 1 and a lid 2, which are hinged together at the rear 3. The bottom part contains several chambers 4 for receiving powder pans, makeup pans, makeup devices and the like. A mirror (not shown) can be arranged in cover 2.

In der Stirnwand 5 des Bodenteils 1 ist eine rechtkantige Ausnehmung 6 angeordnet, deren Bodenwand und Rückwand parallel und deren Seitenwände senkrecht zur Stirnfläche verlaufen. Die Ausnehmung 6 wird von einem parallel zur Außenkante verlaufenden Steg 7 mit vergleichsweise geringem Querschnitt überbrückt, so daß dieser Steg 7 leicht in Querrichtung verformbar ist. An dem Steg 7 sitzt über zwei schmale Schenkel 8 ein Betätigungsgriff 9. Der Betätigungsgriff 9 weist an der Oberseite einen nach innen gegen die Bodenfläche hin abfallenden Abschnitt 10 auf, Fig. 3.A right-angled recess 6 is arranged in the end wall 5 of the bottom part 1, the bottom wall and rear wall of which are parallel and the side walls of which run perpendicular to the end face. The recess 6 is bridged by a web 7 running parallel to the outer edge and having a comparatively small cross-section, so that this web 7 can be easily deformed in the transverse direction. An actuating handle 9 sits on the web 7 via two narrow legs 8. The actuating handle 9 has on the upper side a section 10 which slopes inwards towards the bottom surface, FIG. 3.

Am Deckel 2 sitzt stirnseitig eine Verschlußnase 11 mit einer hinterschnittenen Rastzunge 12, die auf den Mittelteil des Steges 7 abgestimmt ist.On the face of the cover 2 there is a locking lug 11 with an undercut locking tongue 12 which is matched to the central part of the web 7.

In der Schließstellung gemäß Fig. 3 greift diese Rastzunge 12 unter den Mittelteil des Steges 7, so daß dadurch der Deckel 2 sicher und fest an dem Bodenteil 1 festgehalten ist. Zum Öffnen der Kosmetikdose wird der Betätigungsgriff 9 ins Innere der Ausnehmung 6 hineingedrückt, so daß über die Schenkel 8 der Steg 7 nach innen gedrückt wird und sich dabei einwölbt.In the closed position according to FIG. 3, this latching tongue 12 engages under the central part of the web 7, so that the cover 2 is thereby securely and firmly held on the base part 1. To open the cosmetic jar, the actuating handle 9 is pressed into the interior of the recess 6, so that the web 7 is pressed inward via the legs 8 and bulges in the process.

Dadurch wird die Rastzunge 12 freigegeben. Diese Freigabe der Rastzunge 12 wird durch den geneigten abfallenden Abschnitt 10 unterstützt, der den Deckel 2 nach oben drückt. Hierdurch wird der Deckel 2 geöffnet, der gegebenenfalls unter einer Vorspannung in Öffnungsrichtung stehen kann.As a result, the locking tongue 12 is released. This release of the locking tongue 12 is supported by the inclined sloping section 10, which presses the lid 2 upwards. As a result, the cover 2 is opened, which can optionally be under a prestress in the opening direction.

Der Betätigungsgriff paßt sich formgenau an die Ausnehmung 6 an und läßt sich nach Art eines Schiebers betätigen, was ergonomisch außerordentlich günstig ist.The actuating handle adapts to the shape of the recess 6 and can be operated in the manner of a slide, which is extremely ergonomically advantageous.
