Next, the shaft body portion 5 y having the dial portion 5 x is attached to the storage portion 6, and then the powder cosmetic is stored in the storage portion 6. And while attaching the base part 8 to the accommodating part 6, attaching the axial body part 5y to the rotating tray 5z, and mounting the inner frame 9 on the inner frame base part 11, the container main body unit 20 is comprised. .

  On the other hand, on the application body 2 side, the application body 2 is attached to the application body holder 12, and then the sleeve 13 is attached to the application body holder 12 (at this time, by marking the assembly jig). The guide part 13c can be mounted so as to be positioned directly above the locking pin 12x and radially outward), whereby the applicator unit 15 is configured.

  7 (a) to 7 (f) are explanatory views when the applicator unit is mounted on the container body unit in FIG. 6, and the locking pin for the applicator presser in the locking groove of the middle frame base portion. It is a figure which shows a mode that is approaching. In addition, in order to avoid that a figure becomes complicated, in the application body unit 15, only the locking pin 12x is drawn.

  First, the guide portion 13c of the sleeve 13 corresponding to the position of the locking pin 12x is used as a mark in the circumferential direction (see FIGS. 2, 3 and 6), and the guide portion 13c is located above the vertical groove 11y of the locking groove 11x. The applicator unit 15 is disposed so as to be positioned at (see FIG. 7A), and the applicator unit 15 is lowered toward the container body unit 20. In addition, since the locking pin 12x is disposed on the inner peripheral side of the application body unit 15, it cannot be seen from the outside.

  Then, the application body presser 12 comes into contact with the outer peripheral side of the middle frame 9 (see FIG. 6), and the application body unit 15 is lowered while the application body presser 12 shrinks the inner frame 9 radially inward and comes into close contact. As shown in FIG. 1B, the locking pin 12x enters the vertical groove 11y from the open end, which is one end of the vertical groove 11y, and moves downward, so that the application body presser 12 of the application body unit 15 is moved as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, when contacting the upper surface of the connecting portion 8 c of the base portion 8, the locking pin 12 x reaches the lower end that is the other end of the vertical groove 11 y as shown in FIG.
