Description

本発明は、化粧品容器、化粧品容器を用いた化粧品、及び、化粧品容器を用いた化粧品の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, a cosmetic product using the cosmetic container, and a method for manufacturing the cosmetic product using the cosmetic container.

従来、商品販売時、サンプル配布時等の見栄えの良さを考慮し、立体的に成形された化粧料保持体に化粧料を保持させてなる化粧品が知られている。 Conventionally, cosmetics in which cosmetics are held by a three-dimensionally molded cosmetic holder in consideration of good appearance at the time of product sales, sample distribution, etc. are known.

例えば、特許文献１には、シート状の基材を立体形状に成形し、一定の形状を保持してなる化粧料保持体に化粧料組成物を保持させてなる化粧品と、その製造方法が開示されている。特許文献１の技術では、立体形状に成形された化粧料保持体を液状の化粧料スラリーに浸漬させることによって、化粧料組成物を化粧料保持体に付着させ、その後化粧料組成物を固化させることで、上記の化粧品を製造している。 For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a cosmetic product obtained by molding a sheet-shaped base material into a three-dimensional shape and holding a cosmetic composition in a cosmetic holder body that retains a certain shape, and a method for producing the same. Has been done. In the technique of Patent Document 1, the cosmetic composition is adhered to the cosmetic holder by immersing the cosmetic holder molded into a three-dimensional shape in a liquid cosmetic slurry, and then the cosmetic composition is solidified. By doing so, the above cosmetics are manufactured.

特許第５９８１９１２号公報Japanese Patent No. 5981912

上記の通り、特許文献１の技術では、化粧料保持体を液状の化粧料スラリーに浸漬させることによって化粧料組成物を化粧料保持体に付着させる必要がある。その際、化粧料保持体を持ち上げる工程、化粧料保持体の保持面を下方に向けて化粧料スラリーに浸漬させる工程、スラリーに浸漬させた後の化粧料保持体を再度持ち上げる工程、化粧料組成物が付着した保持面を上方に向ける工程、の四工程を順に行う必要がある。このような手法によって化粧料保持体に化粧料組成物を付着させる場合、化粧料スラリーの粘度によっては、化粧料組成物が付着した保持面を上方に向けた際にいわゆる角立ちが起きてしまい、美観に悪影響を与えるおそれがある。また、従来、上記のような複雑な動作を伴う各工程は作業者による手作業で行われることが多かったため、化粧品の製造に伴う負荷が大きく、製造コストの増大を招くという問題もあった。 As described above, in the technique of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to attach the cosmetic composition to the cosmetic holder by immersing the cosmetic holder in the liquid cosmetic slurry. At that time, a step of lifting the cosmetic holder, a step of immersing the cosmetic holder in the cosmetic slurry with the holding surface facing downward, a step of lifting the cosmetic holder again after being immersed in the slurry, and a cosmetic composition. It is necessary to carry out four steps in order, that is, the step of turning the holding surface to which an object is attached upward. When the cosmetic composition is adhered to the cosmetic holder by such a method, so-called angular standing occurs when the holding surface to which the cosmetic composition is attached is turned upward depending on the viscosity of the cosmetic slurry. , May adversely affect the aesthetics. Further, conventionally, since each process involving complicated operations as described above is often performed manually by an operator, there is a problem that the load associated with the production of cosmetics is large and the production cost increases.

本発明は上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、本発明の目的とするところは、従来よりも小さい製造負荷によって、製造過程における角立ちの発生を抑えるとともに、使用性及び視覚性に優れる形状の化粧品を製造し得る技術を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to suppress the occurrence of angularity in the manufacturing process by a smaller manufacturing load than before, and to have a shape having excellent usability and visibility. The purpose is to provide a technology capable of manufacturing cosmetics.

上記の目的を達成するために、本発明の化粧品容器は、上方に向かって凸形状に形成され、外表面に化粧料を保持させるための凸部と、前記凸部の下端部の周囲を囲繞するとともに、上方に向かって立設される周壁部と、を備え、前記周壁部の上端部の高さは、前記凸部の頂部の高さよりも低く、前記凸部の下端部と前記周壁部の下端部との間が閉塞されており、前記凸部の外表面と前記周壁部とによって、前記凸部の下端部の周囲に周溝部が形成されることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the cosmetic container of the present invention is formed in an upwardly convex shape, and surrounds a convex portion for holding the cosmetic on the outer surface and the periphery of the lower end portion of the convex portion. The peripheral wall portion is provided with an upwardly erected peripheral wall portion, and the height of the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion is lower than the height of the top portion of the convex portion, and the lower end portion of the convex portion and the peripheral wall portion are provided. A peripheral groove portion is formed around the lower end portion of the convex portion by the outer surface of the convex portion and the peripheral wall portion.

また、本発明の化粧品容器において、前記凸部の前記外表面がドーム状に形成されていることを特徴とする。 Further, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, the outer surface of the convex portion is formed in a dome shape.

また、本発明の化粧品容器において、前記周壁部の周囲に、前記周壁部よりも下方に伸びる外周壁をさらに備え、前記周壁部の上端部と前記外周壁の上端部との間が閉塞されており、前記外周壁の上端部の高さは、前記周壁部の上端部の高さ以下であることを特徴とする。 Further, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, an outer peripheral wall extending downward from the peripheral wall portion is further provided around the peripheral wall portion, and the space between the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion and the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall portion is closed. The height of the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall is not more than or equal to the height of the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion.

また、本発明の化粧品容器において、前記凸部の下端部と前記周壁部の下端部との間の一部に、通孔が形成されていることを特徴とする。 Further, the cosmetic container of the present invention is characterized in that a through hole is formed in a part between the lower end portion of the convex portion and the lower end portion of the peripheral wall portion.

また、本発明の化粧品は、前記化粧品容器の前記凸部の前記外表面に前記化粧料が保持されていることを特徴とする。 Further, the cosmetic product of the present invention is characterized in that the cosmetic product is held on the outer surface of the convex portion of the cosmetic product container.

また、本発明の化粧品は、前記化粧料が、常温において形状を維持できる油性化粧料であることを特徴とする。 Further, the cosmetic product of the present invention is characterized in that the cosmetic product is an oil-based cosmetic product that can maintain its shape at room temperature.

また、本発明の化粧品の製造方法は、前記化粧品容器の前記凸部の上方から、溶融状態の前記化粧料を前記凸部に対して掛けることにより、前記凸部の前記外表面に前記化粧料を付着させる工程と、前記凸部の前記外表面に付着させた前記化粧料を固化させる工程と、を備えることを特徴とする。 Further, in the method for producing a cosmetic product of the present invention, the cosmetic product in a molten state is applied to the convex portion from above the convex portion of the cosmetic container, whereby the cosmetic product is applied to the outer surface of the convex portion. It is characterized by comprising a step of adhering the cosmetic and a step of solidifying the cosmetic adhering to the outer surface of the convex portion.

本発明の化粧品容器によれば、化粧品の製造過程で凸部の外表面に化粧料を付着させる際に、凸部の上方から溶融状態の化粧料を凸部に対して掛ける方式を採用することができる。凸部の上方から溶融状態の化粧料を凸部に対して掛けることで、溶融状態の化粧料が凸部の外表面を伝って溜まることなく流れ、いわゆる角立ちが発生することが抑制される。また、周溝部が液だまりとして機能するため、凸部を伝って流れ落ちた化粧料の一部を周溝部内に保持させることができる。そのため、本発明によれば、上方から化粧料を掛ける方式を採用したとしても、余剰の化粧料等が凸部の周囲に付着することを抑制することができる。その結果、製造過程における角立ちの発生を効果的に抑制できるとともに、凸部の外表面に見栄えよく化粧料を保持させた使用性及び視覚性に優れる化粧品を得ることができる。 According to the cosmetic container of the present invention, when the cosmetic is adhered to the outer surface of the convex portion in the manufacturing process of the cosmetic, a method is adopted in which the molten cosmetic is applied to the convex portion from above the convex portion. Can be done. By applying the melted cosmetic to the convex portion from above the convex portion, the molten cosmetic flows along the outer surface of the convex portion without accumulating, and so-called cornering is suppressed. .. Further, since the peripheral groove portion functions as a liquid pool, a part of the cosmetic that has flowed down along the convex portion can be held in the peripheral groove portion. Therefore, according to the present invention, even if a method of applying cosmetics from above is adopted, it is possible to prevent excess cosmetics and the like from adhering to the periphery of the convex portion. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of cornering in the manufacturing process, and it is possible to obtain a cosmetic product having excellent usability and visibility in which the cosmetic product is held on the outer surface of the convex portion with good appearance.

また、本発明の製造方法によれば、凸部に化粧料を付着させる方式として上方から化粧料を掛ける方式を採用することで、凹部を有する容器に対して化粧料を充填させるための既存の充填設備を用いることができる。その結果、従来の浸漬方式を採用する場合に比べ、凸部に化粧料を付着させる際の工程数を少なくすることができる。既存の充填設備を、大きな変更なく用いることができ、作業者による手作業を省略することもできる。即ち、本発明によると、従来よりも小さい製造負荷により、凸部の外表面に化粧料が保持された化粧品を得ることができる。 Further, according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, by adopting a method of applying the cosmetic from above as a method of adhering the cosmetic to the convex portion, the existing container having the concave portion is filled with the cosmetic. Filling equipment can be used. As a result, the number of steps for adhering the cosmetic to the convex portion can be reduced as compared with the case of adopting the conventional dipping method. The existing filling equipment can be used without major changes, and manual work by the operator can be omitted. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a cosmetic product in which cosmetics are retained on the outer surface of the convex portion with a smaller manufacturing load than before.

また、本発明の化粧品では、上記の化粧品容器の凸部の外表面に化粧料が保持されている。凸部の頂部の高さは周壁部の上端部の高さよりも高く形成されているため、化粧料が保持されている凸部が目を引きやすく、見栄えが良い化粧品を実現することができる。また、塗布具を用いずに所望の部位に直接塗布することも可能となり、需要者の美観に訴えるとともに使用性にも優れる化粧品を実現することができる。 Further, in the cosmetic product of the present invention, the cosmetic product is held on the outer surface of the convex portion of the cosmetic product container. Since the height of the top of the convex portion is formed higher than the height of the upper end of the peripheral wall portion, the convex portion on which the cosmetic is held is easily noticeable, and it is possible to realize a cosmetic product having a good appearance. In addition, it is possible to apply the product directly to a desired site without using an application tool, and it is possible to realize a cosmetic product that appeals to the aesthetics of the consumer and has excellent usability.

即ち、本発明によると、従来よりも小さい製造負荷によって、製造過程における角立ちの発生を抑制できるとともに、視覚性及び使用性にも優れる形状の化粧品を製造し得る。 That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to produce cosmetics having a shape that is excellent in visibility and usability as well as being able to suppress the occurrence of angularity in the manufacturing process with a smaller manufacturing load than before.

＜実施形態＞
以下、本発明の実施形態に係る化粧品容器、及び、これを用いた化粧品並びにその製造方法について、図面を参照して説明する。 <Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention, a cosmetic using the same, and a method for manufacturing the same will be described with reference to the drawings.

［化粧品容器］
図１～図４を参照して、本実施形態に係る化粧品容器１について説明する。図１は、本実施形態に係る化粧品容器１を模式的に示す斜視図である。図２、図３は、それぞれ、化粧品容器１の正面図、平面図である。図４は、図３のＩＶ－ＩＶ線断面図である。 [Cosmetic container]
The cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment. 2 and 3 are a front view and a plan view of the cosmetic container 1, respectively. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG.

本実施形態に係る化粧品容器１は、例えば、口紅、リップクリーム等、常温において形状を維持できる油性化粧料を保持するための容器である。特に、本実施形態の化粧品容器１は、販促用のサンプル品（試供品）として配布することを想定した化粧品用の容器として使用されることが想定されている。そのため、本実施形態の化粧品容器１は、１回分～数回分の使用量に相当する程度の少量の化粧料を保持させることを前提とした形状を備える。なお、変形例では、化粧品容器１が製品用の化粧品容器として使用されてもよい。本実施形態では、化粧品容器１は樹脂によって成形されているが、変形例では、化粧品容器１が樹脂以外の素材、例えば、紙、布、金属等によって成形されていてもよい。 The cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment is a container for holding an oil-based cosmetic that can maintain its shape at room temperature, such as lipstick and lip balm. In particular, the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment is expected to be used as a cosmetic container intended to be distributed as a sample product (sample) for sales promotion. Therefore, the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment has a shape premised on holding a small amount of cosmetics corresponding to the amount used for one to several times. In the modified example, the cosmetic container 1 may be used as a cosmetic container for a product. In the present embodiment, the cosmetic container 1 is molded of resin, but in the modified example, the cosmetic container 1 may be molded of a material other than resin, for example, paper, cloth, metal, or the like.

図１～図４に示すように、本実施形態の化粧品容器１は、全体として、上方に突出する凸形状の外観を有している。図４によく示されるように、本実施形態の化粧品容器１は、上方に突出する中空の立体として形成されている。この化粧品容器１は、凸部１０と基部２０とを備える。凸部１０と基部２０とは一体に成形されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment has a convex appearance protruding upward as a whole. As is well shown in FIG. 4, the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment is formed as a hollow solid body protruding upward. The cosmetic container 1 includes a convex portion 10 and a base portion 20. The convex portion 10 and the base portion 20 are integrally molded.

凸部１０は、化粧料を保持するための保持部の役割を果たす部分である。本実施形態では、凸部１０は、上方に向かって凸形状に形成されている。より具体的には、凸部１０の外表面は、中央部に向かって膨らみを有するドーム状（略半球形状）に形成されている。凸部１０の頂部はなだらかに膨らんでいる。凸部１０の側部は、上方に向かって僅かに小径になるように形成されている。後で詳しく説明するように、化粧品容器１を用いて化粧品を製造する場合、この凸部１０の外表面に化粧料が保持される（後述の図６参照）。 The convex portion 10 is a portion that serves as a holding portion for holding the cosmetic. In the present embodiment, the convex portion 10 is formed in a convex shape toward the upper side. More specifically, the outer surface of the convex portion 10 is formed in a dome shape (substantially hemispherical shape) having a bulge toward the central portion. The top of the convex portion 10 is gently bulging. The side portion of the convex portion 10 is formed so as to have a slightly smaller diameter toward the upper side. As will be described in detail later, when cosmetics are manufactured using the cosmetic container 1, the cosmetics are held on the outer surface of the convex portion 10 (see FIG. 6 described later).

基部２０は、凸部１０の周囲に設けられた部分であり、化粧品容器１のベースを構成する部分である。基部２０は、底部２２と、周壁部２４と、上面部２６と、外周壁３０と、フランジ部４０とを備える。 The base portion 20 is a portion provided around the convex portion 10 and constitutes a base of the cosmetic container 1. The base portion 20 includes a bottom portion 22, a peripheral wall portion 24, an upper surface portion 26, an outer peripheral wall 30, and a flange portion 40.

底部２２は、凸部１０の下端部と連続している部分であり、凸部１０の下端部から周方向外側に向けて伸びる面部分である。図３に示すように、底部２２は、凸部１０の周囲に環状に形成される。図２及び図４に示すように、本実施形態では、底部２２は、下方に向けて撓んだ（凹んだ）形状を有するが、変形例では、底部２２は平坦であってもよい。 The bottom portion 22 is a portion continuous with the lower end portion of the convex portion 10, and is a surface portion extending outward in the circumferential direction from the lower end portion of the convex portion 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom portion 22 is formed in an annular shape around the convex portion 10. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, in the present embodiment, the bottom portion 22 has a downwardly bent (recessed) shape, but in the modified example, the bottom portion 22 may be flat.

周壁部２４は、凸部１０の下端部の周囲に設けられ、上方に向かって立設する壁状部分である。即ち、周壁部２４は、凸部１０の下端部の周囲を囲繞する壁である。周壁部２４の下端部は底部２２と連続している。即ち、周壁部２４の下端部と凸部１０の下端部とは、底部２２を介して閉塞されていると言ってもよい。図２及び図４に示すように、周壁部２４の上端部は、面取りされており、上面部２６に連続している。周壁部２４の上端部の高さ（上面部２６の高さと言ってもよい）は、凸部１０の頂部の高さよりも低く形成されている。 The peripheral wall portion 24 is a wall-shaped portion that is provided around the lower end portion of the convex portion 10 and stands upward. That is, the peripheral wall portion 24 is a wall that surrounds the periphery of the lower end portion of the convex portion 10. The lower end of the peripheral wall portion 24 is continuous with the bottom portion 22. That is, it may be said that the lower end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24 and the lower end portion of the convex portion 10 are closed via the bottom portion 22. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24 is chamfered and is continuous with the upper surface portion 26. The height of the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24 (which may be said to be the height of the upper surface portion 26) is formed to be lower than the height of the top portion of the convex portion 10.

本実施形態の化粧品容器１では、上述の凸部１０の外表面と、底部２２と、周壁部２４とによって、凸部１０の下端部の周囲を囲む周溝部５０が形成される。周溝部５０は、凸部１０の外表面と、底部２２と、周壁部２４とによって囲まれる下方に凹んだ空間部と言い換えてもよい。後で説明するように、この周溝部５０は、化粧品の製造時において、余剰の化粧料が溜まる液溜まりとして機能する。本実施形態では、周溝部５０の幅及び深さはともに数ｍｍ程度であるが、周溝部５０の幅及び深さは、製造される化粧品によって任意の値を採用することができる。 In the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment, the outer surface of the convex portion 10, the bottom portion 22, and the peripheral wall portion 24 form a peripheral groove portion 50 that surrounds the lower end portion of the convex portion 10. The peripheral groove portion 50 may be rephrased as a downwardly recessed space portion surrounded by the outer surface of the convex portion 10, the bottom portion 22, and the peripheral wall portion 24. As will be described later, the peripheral groove portion 50 functions as a liquid pool in which excess cosmetics are collected at the time of manufacturing cosmetics. In the present embodiment, the width and depth of the peripheral groove portion 50 are both about several mm, but the width and depth of the peripheral groove portion 50 can be any value depending on the cosmetics to be manufactured.

上面部２６は、上記の通り、周壁部２４の上端部と連続しており、周壁部２４の上端部から周方向外側に向けて伸びる面部分である。図３に示すように、上面部２６は環状に形成される。上面部２６の外周縁は、外周壁３０の上端部と連続している。即ち、周壁部２４の上端部と外周壁３０の上端部は、上面部２６を介して閉塞されていると言ってもよい。また、上記の通り、上面部２６の高さは、凸部１０の頂部の高さよりも低く形成されている（図２及び図４参照）。 As described above, the upper surface portion 26 is a surface portion that is continuous with the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24 and extends outward in the circumferential direction from the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface portion 26 is formed in an annular shape. The outer peripheral edge of the upper surface portion 26 is continuous with the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30. That is, it can be said that the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24 and the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30 are closed via the upper surface portion 26. Further, as described above, the height of the upper surface portion 26 is formed to be lower than the height of the top portion of the convex portion 10 (see FIGS. 2 and 4).

外周壁３０は、上面部２６の周縁部から下方に伸びる壁状部材であり、基部２０の側面を構成する部材である。本実施形態では、外周壁３０は円筒形状に形成されている。外周壁３０の上端部は、上面部２６の周縁部と連続しているため、外周壁３０の上端部の高さは、凸部１０の頂部の高さよりも低い。図４に示すように、外周壁３０の下端部は、底部２２よりも下方まで伸びており、フランジ部４０と連続している。外周壁３０は、化粧品の使用時には、凸部１０の化粧料に触れることなく化粧品容器１を把持するための把持部として機能する。 The outer peripheral wall 30 is a wall-shaped member extending downward from the peripheral edge portion of the upper surface portion 26, and is a member constituting the side surface of the base portion 20. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape. Since the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30 is continuous with the peripheral edge portion of the upper surface portion 26, the height of the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30 is lower than the height of the top portion of the convex portion 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30 extends below the bottom portion 22 and is continuous with the flange portion 40. When using cosmetics, the outer peripheral wall 30 functions as a gripping portion for gripping the cosmetic container 1 without touching the cosmetics on the convex portion 10.

また、図３に示すように、外周壁３０の外表面には、後述の蓋１００（図６参照）を位置決めするためのキー突起３２と、蓋１００を係止するための３個の係止突起３４とが設けられている。キー突起３２及び各係止突起３４は、外周壁３０の一部を外側に向けて突出させることによって形成されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, on the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 30, a key protrusion 32 for positioning the lid 100 (see FIG. 6) described later and three locking for locking the lid 100 are performed. A protrusion 34 is provided. The key protrusion 32 and each locking protrusion 34 are formed by projecting a part of the outer peripheral wall 30 toward the outside.

フランジ部４０は、外周壁３０の下端部から周方向外側に向けて伸びる面部分である。本実施形態では、フランジ部４０は装飾、及び、蓋１００を被せた際の把持部分としての役割を果たす。 The flange portion 40 is a surface portion extending outward in the circumferential direction from the lower end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30. In the present embodiment, the flange portion 40 serves as a decoration and a gripping portion when the lid 100 is covered.

［化粧品容器を用いた化粧品の製造方法］
続いて、図５を参照して、上記の化粧品容器１を用いて化粧品を製造する方法について説明する。図５は、化粧品容器１を用いて化粧品を製造する各工程を示す説明図である。なお、図５では、理解の容易のために、化粧品容器１を断面図で表している。本実施形態の化粧品容器１を用いた化粧品は、凸部１０の外表面に化粧料を付着させる付着工程（図５（ａ）～図５（ｃ）参照）と、凸部１０に付着させた化粧料を固化させる固化工程（図５（ｄ）参照）の二工程を順に実行することによって製造される。以下、各工程について説明する。 [Manufacturing method of cosmetics using cosmetic container]
Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 5, a method for producing cosmetics using the above-mentioned cosmetic container 1 will be described. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing each process of manufacturing cosmetics using the cosmetic container 1. In FIG. 5, the cosmetic container 1 is shown in a cross-sectional view for easy understanding. The cosmetics using the cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment are attached to the convex portion 10 in the attachment step of attaching the cosmetic to the outer surface of the convex portion 10 (see FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c)). It is manufactured by sequentially performing two steps of a solidification step (see FIG. 5D) for solidifying cosmetics. Hereinafter, each step will be described.

［１．付着工程］
図５（ａ）に示すように、まず、化粧品容器１を充填装置（図示しない）の充填ノズル７０の下方に配置させる。化粧品容器１の充填ノズル７０の下方位置への配置は、ベルトコンベアやターンテーブル等の搬送装置（図示しない）によって自動的に行われる。本実施形態では、充填装置には、凹部を有する従来の化粧料容器に対して化粧料を充填させるための既存の充填設備が用いられる。 [1. Adhesion process]
As shown in FIG. 5A, first, the cosmetic container 1 is arranged below the filling nozzle 70 of the filling device (not shown). The placement of the cosmetic container 1 in the lower position of the filling nozzle 70 is automatically performed by a transport device (not shown) such as a belt conveyor or a turntable. In the present embodiment, the filling device uses an existing filling facility for filling a conventional cosmetic container having a recess with cosmetics.

次いで、図５（ｂ）に示すように、充填ノズル７０から、所定量の化粧料Ｃを、凸部１０に対して吐出させる。ここで充填ノズル７０から吐出される化粧料Ｃは溶融状態（即ち、液状又はペースト状の形態）である。この溶融状態の化粧料Ｃのことを「バルク」と呼んでもよい。本実施形態では、化粧料Ｃは、常温において形状を維持できる油性化粧料であり、加熱時に溶融状態となる一方で、常温環境下では固体状態が保たれるものである。変形例では、化粧料Ｃは、溶剤が添加されることで溶融状態となり、その後溶剤が除去されることによって常温環境下で固体状態が保たれるものであってもよい。充填ノズル７０から化粧料Ｃが吐出されることで、化粧品容器１の凸部１０の上方から、溶融状態の化粧料Ｃが凸部１０に対して掛けられる。凸部１０の外表面に掛けられた化粧料Ｃは、凸部１０の外表面を伝って流れる。この過程で、凸部１０の外表面に化粧料Ｃが付着される。なお、この際、溶融状態の化粧料Ｃは、凸部の外表面を伝って溜まることなく流れるため、いわゆる角立ちが発生することもない。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, a predetermined amount of cosmetic C is discharged from the filling nozzle 70 to the convex portion 10. Here, the cosmetic C discharged from the filling nozzle 70 is in a molten state (that is, in a liquid or paste form). The melted cosmetic C may be referred to as "bulk". In the present embodiment, the cosmetic C is an oil-based cosmetic that can maintain its shape at room temperature, and is in a molten state when heated, while maintaining a solid state in a room temperature environment. In the modified example, the cosmetic C may be in a melted state by adding a solvent, and then may be kept in a solid state in a normal temperature environment by removing the solvent. By ejecting the cosmetic C from the filling nozzle 70, the melted cosmetic C is hung on the convex portion 10 from above the convex portion 10 of the cosmetic container 1. The cosmetic C applied to the outer surface of the convex portion 10 flows along the outer surface of the convex portion 10. In this process, the cosmetic C is attached to the outer surface of the convex portion 10. At this time, since the melted cosmetic C flows along the outer surface of the convex portion without accumulating, so-called cornering does not occur.

図５（ｃ）に示すように、凸部１０の上方から掛けられた溶融状態の化粧料Ｃが、凸部１０を伝って流れた結果、凸部１０の外表面には、所定の厚さで満遍なく化粧料Ｃが付着される。この際、凸部１０を伝って流れ落ちた化粧料Ｃの一部（即ち、余剰の化粧料Ｃ）は、周溝部５０内に溜まり、保持される。即ち、周溝部５０が液溜まりとして機能する。周溝部５０が液溜まりとして機能することで、基部２０の他の部分（例えば、上面部２６、外周壁３０等）に余剰の化粧料Ｃが付着することが抑制される。これにより、化粧料保持部である凸部１０の外表面に見栄えよく化粧料Ｃを付着させることができる。図５（ｃ）の時点で、化粧品容器１は、充填ノズル７０の下方位置から次工程に向かう位置へと搬送装置によって自動的に移動されてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 5 (c), as a result of the molten cosmetic C hung from above the convex portion 10 flowing along the convex portion 10, the outer surface of the convex portion 10 has a predetermined thickness. The cosmetic C is evenly attached. At this time, a part of the cosmetic C that has flowed down along the convex portion 10 (that is, the surplus cosmetic C) is accumulated and held in the peripheral groove portion 50. That is, the peripheral groove portion 50 functions as a liquid pool. Since the peripheral groove portion 50 functions as a liquid pool, it is possible to prevent excess cosmetic C from adhering to other portions of the base portion 20 (for example, the upper surface portion 26, the outer peripheral wall 30, etc.). As a result, the cosmetic C can be attached to the outer surface of the convex portion 10 which is the cosmetic holding portion with good appearance. At the time of FIG. 5C, the cosmetic container 1 may be automatically moved by the transfer device from the position below the filling nozzle 70 to the position toward the next step.

［２．固化工程］
図５（ｄ）に示すように、前工程の付着工程において凸部１０の外表面に付着させた化粧料Ｃを固化させる。本実施例では、自然放熱又は冷却装置による冷却によって化粧料Ｃの温度を常温まで下げることにより、化粧料Ｃを固化させる。なお、変形例において、化粧料Ｃとして溶剤が添加されることで溶融状態となる性質のものを使用している場合には、この工程において、所定の手段によって溶剤を除去させることで化粧料Ｃを固化させてもよい。この工程において化粧料Ｃが固化されることにより、凸部１０の外表面に化粧料Ｃが保持された化粧品２が完成する。 [2. Solidification process]
As shown in FIG. 5D, the cosmetic C adhered to the outer surface of the convex portion 10 in the adhering step of the previous step is solidified. In this embodiment, the cosmetic C is solidified by lowering the temperature of the cosmetic C to room temperature by natural heat dissipation or cooling by a cooling device. In the modified example, when a cosmetic C having a property of being melted by adding a solvent is used, the solvent is removed by a predetermined means in this step to remove the solvent C. May be solidified. By solidifying the cosmetic C in this step, the cosmetic 2 in which the cosmetic C is held on the outer surface of the convex portion 10 is completed.

以上、本実施形態に係る化粧品容器１の構成と、化粧品容器１を用いた化粧品の製造方法について説明した。 The configuration of the cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment and the method for manufacturing cosmetics using the cosmetic container 1 have been described above.

ここで、本実施形態に係る化粧品容器１及び化粧品の製造方法の利点を明確に理解するために、比較例として、従来知られている化粧品保持体及びその化粧料保持体を用いた化粧品の製造方法について言及しておく。比較例の化粧料保持体は、単にシート状の基材を立体形状に成形した形状を有する。比較例の化粧料保持体を用いて化粧品を製造する場合、立体形状に成形された化粧料保持体を液状の化粧料スラリーに浸漬させることによって、化粧料組成物を化粧料保持体に付着させ、その後化粧料組成物を固化させることで、化粧料保持体に化粧料が保持された化粧品を製造している。 Here, in order to clearly understand the advantages of the cosmetic container 1 and the method for manufacturing cosmetics according to the present embodiment, as a comparative example, a conventionally known cosmetic holder and the manufacture of cosmetics using the cosmetic holder thereof. I will mention the method. The cosmetic holder of the comparative example has a shape obtained by simply molding a sheet-like base material into a three-dimensional shape. When cosmetics are manufactured using the cosmetic holder of the comparative example, the cosmetic composition is adhered to the cosmetic holder by immersing the cosmetic holder molded into a three-dimensional shape in a liquid cosmetic slurry. After that, the cosmetic composition is solidified to produce a cosmetic product in which the cosmetic product is retained in the cosmetic product holder.

しかしながら、比較例の製造方法では、化粧料組成物を化粧料保持体に付着させる際、化粧料保持体を持ち上げる工程、化粧料保持体の保持面を下方に向けて化粧料スラリーに浸漬させる工程、スラリーに浸漬させた後の化粧料保持体を再度持ち上げる工程、化粧料組成物が付着した保持面を上方に向ける工程、の四工程を順に行う必要がある。このような手法によって化粧料保持体に化粧料組成物を付着させる場合、化粧料スラリーの粘度によっては、化粧料組成物が付着した保持面を上方に向けた際にいわゆる角立ちが起きてしまい、美観に悪影響を与えるおそれがある。また、従来、このような複雑な動作を伴う各工程は作業者による手作業で行われることが多かったため、化粧品の製造に伴う負荷が大きく、製造コストの増大を招くという問題もあった。 However, in the production method of the comparative example, when the cosmetic composition is attached to the cosmetic holder, a step of lifting the cosmetic holder and a step of immersing the cosmetic holder in the cosmetic slurry with the holding surface facing downward. It is necessary to carry out four steps in order: a step of lifting the cosmetic holder again after being immersed in the slurry, and a step of turning the holding surface to which the cosmetic composition is attached upward. When the cosmetic composition is adhered to the cosmetic holder by such a method, so-called angular standing occurs when the holding surface to which the cosmetic composition is attached is turned upward depending on the viscosity of the cosmetic slurry. , May adversely affect the aesthetics. Further, conventionally, since each process involving such a complicated operation is often performed manually by an operator, there is a problem that the load associated with the production of cosmetics is large and the production cost increases.

これに対し、本実施形態に係る化粧品容器１を用いれば、上記の通り、化粧品の製造過程において、凸部１０の外表面に化粧料Ｃを付着させる際に、凸部１０の上方から溶融状態の化粧料Ｃを凸部１０に対して掛ける方式を採用することができる（図５（ａ）～図５（ｃ）参照）。即ち、凸部１０の上方から溶融状態の化粧料Ｃを凸部に対して掛けることで、溶融状態の化粧料が凸部１０の外表面を伝って溜まることなく流れるため、いわゆる角立ちが発生することが抑制される。また、化粧品容器１の周溝部５０が液溜まりとして機能するため、上方から溶融状態の化粧料Ｃを掛けたとしても、凸部１０を伝って流れ落ちた化粧料Ｃの一部を周溝部５０内に保持させることができる。そのため、本実施形態の化粧品容器１及び製造方法によれば、上方から化粧料Ｃを掛ける方式を採用したとしても、余剰の化粧料Ｃが基部２０の他の部分（例えば、上面部２６、外周壁３０等）に付着することを抑制することができる。その結果、凸部１０の外表面に化粧料Ｃを保持させた化粧品２を得ることができる（図５（ｄ）参照）。このように、製造過程における角立ちの発生を効果的に抑制できるとともに、凸部１０の外表面に見栄えよく化粧料Ｃを保持させた使用性及び視覚性に優れる化粧品２を得ることができる。 On the other hand, if the cosmetic container 1 according to the present embodiment is used, as described above, when the cosmetic C is adhered to the outer surface of the convex portion 10 in the manufacturing process of the cosmetic, it is in a molten state from above the convex portion 10. A method of applying the cosmetic C of the above to the convex portion 10 can be adopted (see FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c)). That is, by applying the molten cosmetic C to the convex portion from above the convex portion 10, the molten cosmetic flows along the outer surface of the convex portion 10 without accumulating, so that so-called angular standing occurs. Is suppressed. Further, since the peripheral groove portion 50 of the cosmetic container 1 functions as a liquid pool, even if the molten cosmetic C is applied from above, a part of the cosmetic C that has flowed down along the convex portion 10 is inside the peripheral groove portion 50. Can be held in. Therefore, according to the cosmetic container 1 and the manufacturing method of the present embodiment, even if the method of applying the cosmetic C from above is adopted, the surplus cosmetic C is applied to other parts of the base 20 (for example, the upper surface portion 26, the outer periphery). It can be prevented from adhering to the wall 30 and the like). As a result, cosmetics 2 in which the cosmetic C is retained on the outer surface of the convex portion 10 can be obtained (see FIG. 5 (d)). As described above, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of cornering in the manufacturing process, and to obtain cosmetics 2 having excellent usability and visibility in which the cosmetics C are held on the outer surface of the convex portion 10 with good appearance.

また、凸部１０に化粧料Ｃを付着させる方式として上方から溶融状態の化粧料Ｃを掛ける方式を採用することで、凹部を有する容器に対して化粧料を充填させるための既存の充填設備を用いることができる。また、凸部１０に化粧料Ｃを付着させるために、凸部１０の上方から化粧料Ｃを掛けるだけでよく、化粧品容器１を持ち上げたり保持面を下方に向けたりする必要もないため、作業者が細かい手作業を行う必要もない。周溝部５０が液溜まりとして機能するため、凸部１０以外の部分に付着した余剰の化粧料Ｃを拭き取ったり、凸部１０の外表面にのみ化粧料Ｃが付着するように細かい調整を行ったりする必要もない。その結果、比較例の場合（即ち従来の場合）に比べ、凸部１０に化粧料Ｃを付着させる際の工程数を少なくすることができる。既存の充填設備を大きな変更なく用いることができ、作業者による手作業を省略することもできる。その結果、製造コストの低減にも資する。即ち、本発明の化粧品容器１及び化粧品容器１を用いた製造方法によると、従来よりも小さい製造負荷により、凸部１０の外表面に化粧料Ｃが保持された化粧品２を得ることができる。 Further, by adopting a method of applying the melted cosmetic C from above as a method of adhering the cosmetic C to the convex portion 10, an existing filling facility for filling the container having the concave portion with the cosmetic is provided. Can be used. Further, in order to attach the cosmetic C to the convex portion 10, it is only necessary to hang the cosmetic C from above the convex portion 10, and it is not necessary to lift the cosmetic container 1 or turn the holding surface downward. There is no need for a person to perform detailed manual work. Since the peripheral groove portion 50 functions as a liquid pool, the excess cosmetic C that has adhered to the portion other than the convex portion 10 may be wiped off, or fine adjustment may be made so that the cosmetic C adheres only to the outer surface of the convex portion 10. You don't even have to. As a result, the number of steps for adhering the cosmetic C to the convex portion 10 can be reduced as compared with the case of the comparative example (that is, the conventional case). The existing filling equipment can be used without major changes, and manual work by the operator can be omitted. As a result, it also contributes to the reduction of manufacturing cost. That is, according to the cosmetic container 1 and the manufacturing method using the cosmetic container 1 of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the cosmetic 2 in which the cosmetic C is held on the outer surface of the convex portion 10 with a smaller manufacturing load than before.

［化粧品容器を用いて製造される化粧品］
続いて、図６、図７を参照して、上記の化粧品容器１を用いて上記の製造方法によって製造される化粧品２について説明する。図６は、本実施形態に係る化粧品２と、化粧品２とともに用いられる蓋１００とを模式的に示す分解斜視図である。図７は、蓋１００を被せた状態の化粧品２を模式的に示す斜視図である。 [Cosmetics manufactured using cosmetic containers]
Subsequently, with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the cosmetics 2 manufactured by the above-mentioned manufacturing method using the above-mentioned cosmetics container 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing the cosmetics 2 according to the present embodiment and the lid 100 used together with the cosmetics 2. FIG. 7 is a perspective view schematically showing the cosmetic product 2 with the lid 100 covered.

図６に示すように、化粧品２は、上記の化粧品容器１の凸部１０の外表面に化粧料Ｃが保持されているものである。上記の通り、本実施形態では、化粧料Ｃは、常温において形状を維持できる油性化粧料である。保持されている化粧料Ｃは、凸部１０の形状に沿っており、中央部に向かって膨らみを有するドーム状（略半球形状）に形成されている。また、本実施形態の化粧品２は、販促用のサンプル品（試供品）として配布することを想定した化粧品であるため、化粧料Ｃの量は、数回分の使用量に相当する程度の量である。そのため、本実施形態では、化粧料Ｃは、凸部１０の外表面に比較的薄く付着されている。付着されている化粧料Ｃの厚みは、例えば、コンマ数ｍｍ～数ｍｍ程度である。 As shown in FIG. 6, in the cosmetic product 2, the cosmetic product C is held on the outer surface of the convex portion 10 of the cosmetic product container 1. As described above, in the present embodiment, the cosmetic C is an oil-based cosmetic that can maintain its shape at room temperature. The retained cosmetic C follows the shape of the convex portion 10 and is formed in a dome shape (substantially hemispherical shape) having a bulge toward the central portion. Further, since the cosmetic product 2 of the present embodiment is a cosmetic product that is supposed to be distributed as a sample product (sample product) for sales promotion, the amount of the cosmetic product C is an amount corresponding to the amount used several times. be. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cosmetic C is relatively thinly adhered to the outer surface of the convex portion 10. The thickness of the attached cosmetic C is, for example, a comma of several mm to several mm.

図６、図７に示すように、本実施形態では、輸送時、配布時、携帯時に化粧料Ｃを保護するために、蓋１００を被せることが予定されている。蓋１００は、本体１１０と、鍔部１３０とを備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the present embodiment, it is planned to cover the lid 100 in order to protect the cosmetic C during transportation, distribution, and carrying. The lid 100 includes a main body 110 and a collar 130.

本体１１０は、上端が閉塞された円筒形状に形成されている。本体１１０の内径は、基部２０の外周壁３０を収容できる程度の長さに形成されている。本体１１０の高さは、化粧品２に被せた際に、上面内部が化粧品に付着しない程度の高さに形成されている。本体１１０の側面には、キー溝１１２と、３個の係止部１１４とが設けられている。キー溝１１２及び各係止部１１４は、本体１１０の側面の一部を外側に突出させることによって形成されている。キー溝１１２は、キー突起３２と係合可能である。蓋１００を化粧品２に被せる際にはキー溝１１２とキー突起３２の位置を合わせることで、蓋１００を位置決めすることができる。また、蓋１００を化粧品２に被せた際に、係止部１１４の内面の凹部内に係止突起３４を嵌入させることで、蓋１００が化粧品容器１から脱落しないように蓋１００と化粧品２とを係止させることができる。 The main body 110 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the upper end closed. The inner diameter of the main body 110 is formed to be long enough to accommodate the outer peripheral wall 30 of the base 20. The height of the main body 110 is formed so that the inside of the upper surface does not adhere to the cosmetics when it is put on the cosmetics 2. A key groove 112 and three locking portions 114 are provided on the side surface of the main body 110. The keyway 112 and each locking portion 114 are formed by projecting a part of the side surface of the main body 110 to the outside. The keyway 112 is engageable with the key protrusion 32. When the lid 100 is put on the cosmetics 2, the lid 100 can be positioned by aligning the positions of the key groove 112 and the key protrusion 32. Further, when the lid 100 is put on the cosmetics 2, the locking projections 34 are fitted into the recesses on the inner surface of the locking portion 114 so that the lids 100 and the cosmetics 2 are prevented from falling off from the cosmetics container 1. Can be locked.

鍔部１３０は、本体１１０の下端部から周方向外側に向けて伸びる面部分である。鍔部１３０は、蓋１００を化粧品２に被せた際に、フランジ部４０の上面に重なる形状に形成されている。本実施例では、鍔部１３０は、装飾、及び、蓋１００を取り外す際の把持部分としての役割を果たす。 The collar portion 130 is a surface portion extending outward in the circumferential direction from the lower end portion of the main body 110. The flange portion 130 is formed so as to overlap the upper surface of the flange portion 40 when the lid 100 is put on the cosmetic product 2. In this embodiment, the collar 130 serves as a decoration and a gripping portion when removing the lid 100.

図７に示すように、使用時以外は蓋１００を化粧品２に被せ、化粧料Ｃを保護することができる。上記の通り、蓋１００を被せた際には、キー溝１１２とキー突起３２が係合するとともに、係止部１１４と係止突起３４とが係合する。これにより、蓋１００が位置決めされるとともに、蓋１００の脱落が防止される。 As shown in FIG. 7, the lid 100 can be put on the cosmetics 2 to protect the cosmetics C when not in use. As described above, when the lid 100 is put on, the key groove 112 and the key protrusion 32 are engaged with each other, and the locking portion 114 and the locking protrusion 34 are engaged with each other. As a result, the lid 100 is positioned and the lid 100 is prevented from falling off.

本実施形態の化粧品２を使用する場合、まず使用者は蓋１００を取り外し、化粧料Ｃを露出させる。使用者は、化粧品容器１の外周壁３０などを指で把持して持ち上げ、凸部１０に把持された化粧料Ｃを、所望の使用部位（唇等）に直接接触させることで、化粧料Ｃを使用部位に塗布する。 When using the cosmetics 2 of the present embodiment, the user first removes the lid 100 to expose the cosmetics C. The user grips and lifts the outer peripheral wall 30 of the cosmetic container 1 with his / her finger, and brings the cosmetic C gripped by the convex portion 10 into direct contact with a desired site of use (lips, etc.), whereby the cosmetic C is used. Is applied to the site of use.

以上、本実施形態に係る化粧品２の構成と使用方法について説明した。上記の通り、本実施形態の化粧品２では、周壁部２４の上端部の高さ、上面部２６の高さ、及び、外周壁３０の上端部の高さが、いずれも、化粧料Ｃが保持される凸部１０の頂部の高さより低く形成されている。そのため、化粧料Ｃが保持されている凸部１０が目を引きやすく、見栄えが良い化粧品を実現することができる。需要者の美観に訴える化粧品を実現することができる。また、使用者に、実際の商品に近い使用感を与えることもできる。 The configuration and usage of the cosmetics 2 according to the present embodiment have been described above. As described above, in the cosmetic product 2 of the present embodiment, the cosmetics C retains the height of the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24, the height of the upper surface portion 26, and the height of the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30. It is formed lower than the height of the top of the convex portion 10 to be formed. Therefore, the convex portion 10 on which the cosmetic C is held is easily noticeable, and it is possible to realize a cosmetic product having a good appearance. It is possible to realize cosmetics that appeal to the aesthetics of consumers. In addition, it is possible to give the user a feeling of use that is close to that of an actual product.

また、本実施形態の化粧品２では、保持されている化粧料Ｃは、凸部１０の形状に沿っており、中央部に向かって膨らみを有するドーム状（略半球形状）に形成されている。そのため、角がある形状に形成されている場合に比べ、化粧料Ｃを塗布する際、凸部１０の全面を有効に使いやすく、凸部１０に保持された化粧料Ｃを余さず使用できるという利点もある。また、丸みを帯びた形状が需要者の美観に訴えるという利点もある。また、凸部１０のドーム形状の曲率（Ｒ）として、実際の商品の使用面の曲率（Ｒ）と同じ曲率（Ｒ）を採用することで、使用者に実商品に近い使用感を与えることもできる。さらに、凸部１０がドーム状に形成されていることで、製造過程において溶融状態の化粧料Ｃを上方から掛けた際に、化粧料Ｃが凸部１０の一部に溜まることがなく滑らかに流れるため、いわゆる角立ちの発生が効果的に抑制されるという利点もある。 Further, in the cosmetic product 2 of the present embodiment, the retained cosmetic product C follows the shape of the convex portion 10 and is formed in a dome shape (substantially hemispherical shape) having a bulge toward the central portion. Therefore, as compared with the case where the corners are formed into a shape, when the cosmetic C is applied, the entire surface of the convex portion 10 is effectively and easy to use, and the cosmetic C held by the convex portion 10 can be fully used. There is also an advantage. It also has the advantage that the rounded shape appeals to the aesthetics of the consumer. Further, by adopting the same curvature (R) as the curvature (R) of the surface used on the actual product as the curvature (R) of the dome shape of the convex portion 10, the user can be given a feeling of use close to that of the actual product. You can also. Further, since the convex portion 10 is formed in a dome shape, when the molten cosmetic C is applied from above in the manufacturing process, the cosmetic C does not accumulate in a part of the convex portion 10 and is smooth. Since it flows, there is also an advantage that the occurrence of so-called cornering is effectively suppressed.

さらに、本実施形態の化粧品２は、外周壁３０を備えることで、使用時に使用者が外周壁３０を指で確実に把持することができる。そのため、使用者が安定して化粧品を把持することができ、使用者に高い使用感を実感させることができる。また、使用者は、別途塗布具を用いずに化粧料Ｃを使用することができる。従来のサンプル化粧品に添付されていた簡易塗布具を省略することができ、製造コストの低減にも資する。また、使用者は、所望の部位に直接化粧料を塗布することができる。そのため、使用者に、実際の商品に近い使用感を与えることができる。 Further, the cosmetic product 2 of the present embodiment is provided with the outer peripheral wall 30, so that the user can surely grasp the outer peripheral wall 30 with his / her finger at the time of use. Therefore, the user can stably grip the cosmetics, and the user can feel a high feeling of use. Further, the user can use the cosmetic C without using a separate application tool. The simple application tool attached to the conventional sample cosmetics can be omitted, which also contributes to the reduction of manufacturing cost. In addition, the user can apply the cosmetic directly to the desired site. Therefore, it is possible to give the user a feeling of use close to that of an actual product.

さらに、本実施形態の化粧品２では、周壁部２４の上端部の高さ、上面部２６の高さ、及び、外周壁３０の上端部の高さが、いずれも、化粧料Ｃが保持される凸部１０の頂部の高さより低く形成されている。そのため、化粧料Ｃを塗布する際に、上面部２６及び外周壁３０が顔の一部等に当たるなどして邪魔になる事態が起こり難い。使用者が塗り難さを感じる事態が抑制され、使用者に高い使用感を与えることができる。 Further, in the cosmetic product 2 of the present embodiment, the cosmetic C is retained in all of the height of the upper end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24, the height of the upper surface portion 26, and the height of the upper end portion of the outer peripheral wall 30. It is formed lower than the height of the top of the convex portion 10. Therefore, when the cosmetic C is applied, it is unlikely that the upper surface portion 26 and the outer peripheral wall 30 will come into contact with a part of the face or the like and become an obstacle. The situation where the user feels difficult to apply is suppressed, and a high usability can be given to the user.

Further, as in the cosmetic container 401 and the cosmetic 402 shown in FIG. 10, only the outer peripheral wall 30 may be omitted. As shown in FIG. 10, in this modification, another continuous portion (that is, the outer peripheral wall 30) is not provided on the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface portion 426. That is, in this modification, the entire base 420 is formed in a substantially plate shape.

＜変形例４＞
上記の実施形態では、化粧品容器１は底部２２を有している（図１～図４参照）。これに限られず、図１１に示すように、変形例の化粧品容器５０１及び化粧品５０２においては、底部２２が省略されてもよい。この場合、基部５２０が底部２２を含まないため、周溝部５５０は、凸部１０の外表面と、周壁部２４とによって形成され、断面略Ｖ字状の形状に形成される。本変形例の周溝部５５０の構成も、「凸部の下端部と周壁部の下端部との間が閉塞されており、凸部の外表面と周壁部とによって、凸部の下端部の周囲に周溝部が形成される」ことの一例である。 <Modification example 4>
In the above embodiment, the cosmetic container 1 has a bottom portion 22 (see FIGS. 1 to 4). Not limited to this, as shown in FIG. 11, in the cosmetic container 501 and the cosmetic 502 of the modified example, the bottom portion 22 may be omitted. In this case, since the base portion 520 does not include the bottom portion 22, the peripheral groove portion 550 is formed by the outer surface of the convex portion 10 and the peripheral wall portion 24, and is formed in a substantially V-shaped cross section. The configuration of the peripheral groove portion 550 of this modification also states that "the space between the lower end portion of the convex portion and the lower end portion of the peripheral wall portion is closed, and the outer surface of the convex portion and the peripheral wall portion surround the lower end portion of the convex portion. This is an example of the formation of a peripheral groove.

また、図１２に示すように、変形例の化粧品容器６０１及び化粧品６０２においては、基部６２０のうちの底部６２２が、上段部６２２ａと下段部６２２ｂの二段に形成されていてもよい。上段部６２２ａの高さは上面部２６の高さと同じであり、下段部６２２ｂの高さは、上段部６２２ａの高さよりも低く形成されている。即ち、本変形例では、凸部１０の下端部と周壁部２４の下端部とが、底部６２２（即ち上段部６２２ａと下段部６２２ｂ）によって閉塞される。この場合、周溝部６５０は、凸部１０の外表面と、底部６２２（即ち上段部６２２ａと下段部６２２ｂ）と、周壁部２４とによって形成される。本変形例の周溝部６５０の構成も、「凸部の下端部と周壁部の下端部との間が閉塞されており、凸部の外表面と周壁部とによって、凸部の下端部の周囲に周溝部が形成される」ことの一例である。 <Modification 5>
Further, as shown in FIG. 12, in the modified cosmetic container 601 and cosmetics 602, the bottom portion 622 of the base portion 620 may be formed in two stages, an upper portion 622a and a lower portion 622b. The height of the upper portion 622a is the same as the height of the upper surface portion 26, and the height of the lower portion 622b is formed to be lower than the height of the upper portion 622a. That is, in this modification, the lower end portion of the convex portion 10 and the lower end portion of the peripheral wall portion 24 are closed by the bottom portion 622 (that is, the upper step portion 622a and the lower step portion 622b). In this case, the peripheral groove portion 650 is formed by the outer surface of the convex portion 10, the bottom portion 622 (that is, the upper step portion 622a and the lower step portion 622b), and the peripheral wall portion 24. The configuration of the peripheral groove portion 650 of this modification also states that "the space between the lower end portion of the convex portion and the lower end portion of the peripheral wall portion is closed, and the outer surface of the convex portion and the peripheral wall portion surround the lower end portion of the convex portion. This is an example of the formation of a peripheral groove.
