  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a cosmetic container of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 5 show the first embodiment of the present invention, and a makeup is provided in the inner back. A main body 10 that houses the material 2 and has a lid body 1 having a fitting portion in the opening 3 and an application body 11 that applies the cosmetic material 2 so that it can be fed out and can be removably fitted to the lid body 1. And is configured.

  The lid body 1 is formed in a top tube shape, and a female screw 5 constituting a fitting mechanism 3 a with the main body 10 is engraved on the inner wall of the opening 3. A cosmetic 2 made of a pressed powder filled in the inner dish 4 is inserted in the inner part of the lid 1.

  The main body 10 includes an elevating cylinder 14 having an application body 11 mounted thereon and a pair of screw projections 13 and 13 projecting from an outer peripheral wall, a middle cylinder 15 in which the elevating cylinder 14 is installed so as to be movable up and down, It is comprised with the outer cylinder 25 with the bottom which fits so that rotation is possible.

  The application body 11 is formed of a foam such as urethane, nitrile butadiene rubber, or nitrile rubber, and is preferably an independent foam that does not penetrate the cosmetic 2. The application body 11 is fixed to the cylindrical metal fitting 12 by adhesion or caulking at the mounting portion 11 a, and the metal fitting 12 is inserted and fixed to the elevating cylinder 14. The metal fitting 12 may be detachable from the elevating cylinder 12 so that the application body 11 can be cleaned or exchanged.

  The middle cylinder 15 has a pair of vertically long guide grooves 21, 21 through which the screw projections 13, 13 of the elevating cylinder 14 pass through the sleeve 16 below the middle cylinder 15. Directional stopper grooves 21a and 21b are provided in communication.

The outer cylinder 25, the middle cylinder 20, and the lifting cylinder 14 constitute a feeding mechanism for the application body 11 in the main body 10.

  The rotational resistance force during the rotation operation of the feeding mechanism of the application body 11 assembled to the main body 10 is set to be smaller than the rotational resistance force of screw fitting when the lid body 1 and the main body 10 are fitted. That is, since the lead of the screw in the screw fitting between the lid 1 and the main body 10 is smaller than the lead of the spiral groove 26 in the feeding mechanism of the application body 11, the lid 1 and the main body 10 come into contact with each other when the lid is closed. The contact resistance force on the surface becomes stronger than the rotation resistance force of the payout mechanism, and when the lid is opened, it always operates from the payout mechanism with a small rotation resistance force.

  In the cosmetic container configured as described above, when the lid body 1 and the main body 10 are gripped and mutually rotated in the rotation direction in which the application body 11 is lifted, the middle cylinder 15 and the outer cylinder 25 are rotated together with the rotation of the lid body 1. As a result of mutual rotation, the elevating cylinder 14 moves up. And as shown in FIG. 3, the front end surface of the application body 11 press-contacts the cosmetics 2, the cosmetics 2 adhere to the application body 11, and rotation of the middle cylinder 15 is prevented.

  Further, by continuing to rotate the cover body 1 in the ascending direction of the application body 11, as shown in FIG. The lid 1 is lifted and the screw fitting is released. Accordingly, the lid 1 can be easily detached from the main body 10, the cosmetic 2 is attached to the application body 11 by a series of operations in the same direction in which the lid 1 and the main body 10 are mutually rotated, and the lid 1 Can be removed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, after removing the lid 1, the application body 11 is further unwound so that the application body 11 to which the cosmetic material is attached is completely exposed from the middle cylinder 15 in a state where makeup is easy to apply.

  After closing the makeup, when closing the lid, the neck 17 of the middle cylinder 15 is gripped and rotated with the outer cylinder 25 in the descending direction of the elevating cylinder 14 to store the application body 11 in the main body 10. Screw onto the neck 17 of the body 10.

  Therefore, since the cosmetic 2 and the application body 11 are maintained in a non-contact state when being carried, the application body 11 is not deformed or the cosmetic 2 is pressed and solidified by the application body 11 and is not damaged. Further, in the present embodiment, since the lid 1 and the main body 10 are screw-fitted, the engagement is reliable, and if a packing or the like is used on the upper surface of the flange 19, a highly airtight portable without powder leakage or the like. It can be a container.

  FIGS. 6 to 11 show other embodiments of the cosmetic container according to the present invention, respectively. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are given to portions common to the previous embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. .

  The cosmetic container of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 6 includes a pair of bosses 30 provided so that the fitting mechanism between the lid 1 and the main body 10 faces the opening 3 of the lid 1, and the boss 30 It comprises an L-shaped screw 31 engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the neck portion 17 of the middle cylinder 15 in the main body 10 to be engaged.

  The L-shaped screw 31 includes a guide portion 32 that guides the boss 30 to the L-shaped screw 31 when the lid 1 is closed, and a guide inclined portion 33 that guides the boss 30 upward when the lid 1 is opened. The boss 30 is formed with a climbing rib 35 for hooking the boss 30 to the inner back portion 34 of the L-shaped screw 31.

  When the lid 1 is screwed, the boss 30 guided by the L-shaped screw 31 gets over the ride-over rib 35 and is hooked on the inner back part 34. When the lid body 1 and the main body 10 are gripped and mutually rotated in the rotational direction in which the application body 11 moves up, the rotational resistance force during the rotation operation of the feeding mechanism of the application body 11 is caused by the boss 30 of the lid body 1 being the middle cylinder. 15 is set to be smaller than the rotational resistance force of the screw fitting at the time of fitting the lid body 1 and the main body 10 which are hooked at the inner back portion 34 of the inner cylinder 34. And the outer cylinder 25 are mutually rotated to raise the elevating cylinder 14, the tip of the application body 11 comes into contact with the cosmetic 2, the cosmetic 2 adheres and the middle cylinder 15 is prevented from rotating.

  If the rotation continues further, the boss 30 gets over the ride-over rib 35 and is guided upward by the guide inclined portion 33, and the screw fitting of the lid 1 is released. Since the lead of the L-shaped screw 31 is short, the lid 1 and the main body 10 can be easily fitted and detached.

  If the vertical portion 36 is provided above the guide inclined portion 33 of the L-shaped screw 31, the lid 1 is pushed up by the elastic deflection of the application body 11 at the portion of the vertical portion 36.
