Abstract

A plate-exchangeable compact container having a mounting chamber which can store a large plate or a pair of small plates, and a plate spring that applies a force in a forward direction. The spring force applies a pressure to both the left and right sides of the large plate or to the small plates. When the small plates are mounted in the mounting chamber, engagement protrusions are attached in a manner which allows them to contact the side regions of each small plate back panel.

Claims (7)

1. A plate exchangeable compact container having a mounting chamber which can store a large plate or a pair of left and right small plates in a condition which can be exchanged, the left and right end of the front surface of the rear wall of said mounting chamber having a plate spring which applies a force in a forward direction, such that when the large plate is mounted in said mounting chamber, the tips of both plate springs apply a pressure to both the left and right sides of the large plate back panel, and when small plates are mounted, applies a pressure to the middle region in the left and right direction of each small plate back panel such that the front panel of each plate can be pressed against a front wall of the mounting chamber,

characterized in that when the small plates are mounted in the mounting chamber, a left and right pair of engagement protrusions in the middle region of the left and right direction of a front surface of a back wall are attached in a manner which can contact to the side regions of each small plate back panel.

2. The plate exchangeable compact container according to claim 1 formed such that a No. 2 locking rib is laterally established on the left and right side of the outer surface of both of the front and back panel of said large plate and the outer surface middle region in the left and right direction of both the front and back panels of said small plates, and a No. 1 locking rib is laterally established on the inside surface of the left and right sides of both the front and back walls of the mounting chamber, and when the large plate is mounted, the No. 2 locking rib of the large plate is able to engage with the bottom surface of said No. 1 locking rib and when the small plates are mounted, the No. 2 locking rib of the small plates is able to lock to the surface of said No. 1 locking rib.

3. The plate exchangeable compact container according to claim 1 wherein the mounting chamber front wall is made lower than the front panels of said large and small plates, and a finger clip is established for each plate on each front panel region which protrudes in the direction of the front wall.

4. The plate exchangeable compact container according to claim 2 wherein

said compact container is formed such that an axial support panel which is suspended down from a back part of a lid body mates into the relief concave region of the top surface and back surface which have a hole formed in the back surface of the part excluding the left and right side regions of the back wall of the container body, said axle support panel and concave left and right outer back wall part are pivotally attached, and the container body is formed to freely open and close by rotation of the lid body around said pivotally attached part, and

a back wall region of the front part of the concave region is formed from a thin elastic panel as a chamber back wall that mounts to said container body back wall, a plate spring and a No. 1 locking rib are attached to the left and right sides of said elastic panel and a left and right pair of stopping protrusions are attached to the center region in the left and right direction of said elastic panel.
