And the intermediate part 5c is provided with the convex part 5h in the inner peripheral surface, and this convex part 5h contacts the step part 2j of the intermediate cylinder part 2 from the lower side (see FIG. 6). The upward movement of the (moving unit 3) from the first stop position is stopped. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the convex portion 5h gets over the convex portion 2k of the middle tube portion 2 and enters the concave portion 2g, and comes into contact with the convex portion 2k from below, thereby moving the inner moving body 5 (moving portion 3). ) From the second stop position is stopped.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9 to 11, the discharge cylinder 6 has a cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter is a diameter that can be inserted into the communication hole 2 h of the middle cylinder portion 2, and is inserted into the communication hole 2 h. (See FIG. 5). Further, the discharge tube 6 is provided with an opening (exit) 6a that is open at one end (upper end) and a bottom surface (closed portion) 6b that is closed at the other end (lower end). In addition, slits 6c through which the powder cosmetic A can pass are arranged in parallel along the circumferential direction on the lower side surface of the discharge cylinder 6 (two in this case). The slit 6c has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the circumferential direction and laterally long in side view. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a fitting portion 6 e that fits the projection 5 g of the inner moving body 5 so as not to move in the axial direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder 6. A seal portion 6d that comes into contact with the receiving portion 2i of the middle tube portion 2 is provided at the lower portion. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the outer diameter of the seal portion 6d of the discharge tube 6 and the inner diameter of the receiving portion 2i of the middle tube portion 2 are substantially the same, and the receiving portion 2i and the seal portion 6d are press-fitted. The powder cosmetics A cannot pass therethrough by being fitted.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the discharge tube 6 is provided with slits 6 f that are vertically long in side view and extend in the upper and lower sides of the upper edge of the slit 6 c so as to communicate with the inside and outside. It has a peripheral wall portion 6g having an arcuate cross section surrounded by a slit 6c having a substantially rectangular shape and slits 6f, 6f that are vertically long in side view. The peripheral wall portion 6g is configured to have radial elasticity with upper end support by slits 6f and 6f on both sides in the circumferential direction. And the claw part 6h which protrudes radially outward along the circumferential direction is provided in the circular arc shape at the lower end of this surrounding wall part 6g. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the claw portion 6 h is disposed so as to be close to the inner peripheral surface of the communication hole 2 h in the middle in the axial direction of the communication hole 2 h of the middle cylinder portion 2.

As shown in FIG. 5, the moving part 3 is fitted so that the outer moving body 4 and the inner moving body 5 are immovable in the axial direction by fitting the protruding part 4 d to the fitting part 5 d. 5g is fitted to the fitting part 6e, so that the inner moving body 5 and the discharge cylinder 6 are fitted so as not to move in the axial direction. In this way, the outer moving body 4, the inner moving body 5, and the discharge cylinder 6 are configured to be movable in the same axial direction.

As described above, the moving part 3 has the discharge cylinder 6 inserted into the communication hole 2h, and the bottom surface part 6b of the discharge cylinder 6 is substantially flush without projecting downward from the bottom surface (end face) of the communication hole 2h. The receiving portion 2i and the seal portion 6d are fitted to each other, and the convex portion 5h is in contact with the step portion 2j (there may be a slight gap), so that the moving portion 3 is in the first stop position. Suppose it is located.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the moving part 3 moves downward in the axial direction and the convex part 5h gets over the convex part 2k and enters the concave part 2g, the discharge cylinder 6 protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length. The slit 6c is exposed from the communication hole 2h. In this way, it is assumed that the moving part 3 is located at the second stop position that the discharge cylinder 6 is in the protruding state for a certain length.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stopper 7 surrounds the outer periphery of the outer cylindrical portion 2 c of the middle cylindrical portion 2, and is sandwiched in the axial direction between the outer movable body 4 and the container body 1 so as to be a powder cosmetic container. 100. The stopper 7 has an annular shape when attached to the powder cosmetic container 100, and has a handle 7a on the outer peripheral surface, and a joint 7b that separates when a predetermined force is applied (see FIG. 12). ) Is preferably provided at a position facing the handle 7a. For example, when the stopper 7 is mounted on the powder cosmetic container 100, the user holds the handle 7 a and pulls the joint 7 b of the stopper 7 horizontally with respect to the axis of the powder cosmetic container 100. The joint 7b is separated and can be detached from the powder cosmetic container 100.

FIG. 12 is a view of the stopper 7 from which the joint portion 7b is separated. In FIG. 12, the joint portion 7b is provided at a position opposite to the handle 7a when the stopper 7 has an annular shape. The installation position of the joint portion 7b is not particularly limited. If the joint portion 7b can be separated when the user holds the handle 7a and applies a force in the horizontal direction, the annular stopper 7 can be separated. The joint portion 7b may be provided at any position.

And this stopper 7 is inserted | pinched between the axial direction of the outer side moving body 4 and the container main body 1, and is mounted | worn with the powder cosmetic container 100, as shown in FIG.1, FIG2 and FIG.5. Therefore, the moving part 3 cannot be moved downward in the axial direction (moving to the container body 1 side is impossible), and the moving part 3 by the engagement of the convex part 5h and the step part 2j in the axial direction as described above. As a result of the inability to move upward in the axial direction, it is possible to place the moving unit 3 in the first stop position.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the application member 10 includes an elastic body 8, an applicator 9, and a nonwoven fabric 12. The elastic body 8 is formed of an elastic porous material such as urethane foam or NBR that allows the outer surface of the elastic body 8 to bulge outward to form a hemispherical shape and allow air and powder cosmetic A to pass through the container. In the approximate center of the elastic body 8, an outflow hole 8a that is a hole for communicating the opening 6a of the discharge tube 6 and the applicator 9 is provided, and the main path for allowing the powder cosmetic A to flow out to the outside. It has become.

The elastic body 8 has a part or all of the bottom portion of the elastic body 8 in the radial inner side of the upper portion 5a of the inner movable body 5 so that the outflow hole 8a is in a position where it communicates with the opening 6a of the discharge cylinder 6. It is placed on the inner moving body 5 so as to be sandwiched between the two. In the elastic body 8 placed in this way, the powder cosmetic A that has passed through the opening 6a of the discharge tube 6 mainly passes through the outflow hole 8a, but the elastic body 8 is made of a porous material. Therefore, parts other than the outflow hole 8a can also pass.

  The applicator 9 is for applying the powder cosmetic A from the elastic body 8 to the skin with a good application feeling. Like the elastic body 8, air and the powder cosmetic A can pass through, for example, urethane foam, NBR. It is comprised with the porous material with elasticity, such as. The applicator 9 is formed in a disc shape having a predetermined thickness as shown in FIGS. 5, 7 and 13, and as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the elastic body bulges outward and forms a hemispherical shape. 8 is covered between the outer peripheral surface of the inner movable body 5 and the lower portion thereof is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 5f of the inner moving body 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper cylindrical portion 4a of the outer moving body 4. The elastic body 8 is attached to the moving unit 3, whereby the outer surface of the applicator 9 bulges outward to form a hemispherical shape.

  The applicator 9 has front and back surfaces, and as shown in FIG. 13, a flocked hair 9a is provided on the front surface to improve the feel (touch) during application. And the applicator 9 is mounted | worn with the moving part 3 so that the surface which has the flock 9a may become an outer surface.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the applicator 9 includes a cutout portion 9 b for determining the front and back surfaces of the applicator 9 at a part of the outer peripheral edge thereof. Then, when the applicator 9 is placed so that the notch 9b is positioned in a plan view, if the notch 9 is missing on the left side, the front side can be identified as the surface having the flocks 9a.

  Next, the nonwoven fabric 12 that characterizes the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5, 7, and 14. The nonwoven fabric 12 allows passage of air but suppresses passage of the powder cosmetic A, and is provided in a form sandwiched between the elastic body 8 and the applicator 9 as shown in FIGS. ing. At this time, similarly to the applicator 9, the lower part of the nonwoven fabric 12 is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 5f of the inner moving body 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper cylindrical portion 4a of the outer moving body 4, The elastic body 8 and the applicator 9 are attached to the moving unit 3.

  The nonwoven fabric 12 is made of a nonwoven fabric having a distance between fibers of 150 μm or less, and has a circular shape in plan view as shown in FIG. 14, and a hole 12a is provided at the approximate center of the circular shape. The diameter of the hole 12a is the same as or slightly smaller than the diameter of the outflow hole 8a of the elastic body 8. And when sandwiched between the elastic body 8 and the applicator 9, as shown in FIG.5 and FIG.7, it positions so that the hole 12a of the nonwoven fabric 12 may come above the outflow hole 8a, A portion other than the outflow hole 8 a is covered so as to be attached to the moving unit 3 together with the elastic body 8 and the applicator 9.

  In addition, the nonwoven fabric 12 is preferably configured so that the distance between the fibers is 55 μm or less, and further, the thickness of the fibers (thickness in the front view of the nonwoven fabric 12) is 0.39 mm or more. .

  And by providing the said nonwoven fabric 12, although passage of air is possible in parts other than the outflow hole 8a of the elastic body 8, passage of the powder cosmetics A can be suppressed.

  In addition, in the powder cosmetic container 100 of the present invention including the non-woven fabric 12 of the present embodiment having a maximum distance of 150 μm between the fibers and the powder cosmetic A having many particle sizes of 9 μm, the non-woven fabric 12 is provided. The reason why the passage of the powder cosmetic A can be suppressed is that when the powder cosmetic A is accommodated in the accommodating portion 1e of the container body 1, the particles stick to each other and do not pass between the fibers of the nonwoven fabric 12. Because many lumps of the powder cosmetic A having a possible diameter are formed, or because of the static electricity of the nonwoven fabric 12 itself, many of the particles of the powder cosmetic A adhere to the fibers of the nonwoven fabric 12, thereby Since the powder cosmetic A is plugged, it is possible to suppress the passage of the nonwoven fabric 12 of the powder cosmetic A by, for example.

Since the application member 10 having such a configuration is mounted on the moving unit 3, it moves in the same way when the moving unit 3 moves in the axial direction.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cap 11 is a cylindrical lid with the upper part closed, and has a female screw (not shown) that engages with the male screw 4 c of the outer moving body 4 on the inner peripheral surface thereof. When the female screw and the male screw 4c are screwed together, the moving screw 3 is mounted.

In the powder cosmetic container 100 having the configuration described so far, first, before use, the stopper 7 is mounted as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the moving part 3 is moved downward in the axial direction by the stopper 7. The first stop position is retained due to the impossibility of movement and the impossibility of movement upward in the axial direction by the protrusion 5h and the step 2j.

In this first stop position, as shown in FIG. 6, the seal portion 6d of the discharge tube 6 of the moving portion 3 and the receiving portion 2i of the cylindrical portion 2a of the middle tube portion 2 are fitted, and a powder cosmetic is provided between them. A cannot pass. Further, since the closed bottom surface portion 6b of the discharge tube 6 does not protrude downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h, the powder cosmetic A accommodated in the container main body 1 passes through the communication hole 2h or the discharge tube 6. It is impossible to pass. That is, in a state where the stopper 7 is mounted on the powder cosmetic container 100, the moving part 3 is kept at the first stop position, and the bottom face part 6b serves as a valve for closing the communication hole 2h. By fitting 6d and the receiving part 2i, the powder cosmetic A accommodated in the container main body 1 is sealed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the powder cosmetic A from being accidentally discharged from the container body 1 when the powder cosmetic container 100 is being transported and stored.

Next, at the start of use, the stopper 7 is first removed while the cap 11 is attached to the powder cosmetic container 100, and the user pushes the moving part 3 downward with a force of a predetermined size or more. Thereby, as shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8, the moving part 3 is 2nd which the convex part 5h of the inner side moving body 5 gets over the convex part 2k of the intermediate | middle cylinder part 2, enters into the recessed part 2g, and abuts against the container main body 1. To the position where the container main body 1 is struck, it is impossible to move downward (in the container main body 1 side) in the axial direction, and upward in the axial direction by the convex portion 5h and the convex portion 2k (on the opposite side to the container main body 1 side) ) Is left in the second stop position.

By the movement of the moving part 3 to the second stop position, the discharge tube 6 protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length, and the slit 6c is exposed from the communication hole 2h. Thereby, it will be in the state in which the powder cosmetics A can pass the slit 6c, the inside of the discharge cylinder 6, and the opening part 6a.

When the claw portion 6h of the discharge cylinder 6 passes through the receiving portion 2i having a smaller diameter than the other hole diameter of the middle cylinder portion 2, the claw portion 6h bends radially inward, and the moving portion 3 is the second When the claw portion 6h passes through the receiving portion 2i, the claw portion 6h is elastically returned to the original position and is hooked on the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 2n of the middle cylinder portion 2 to be engaged in the axial direction. The moving part 3 cannot be moved to the side opposite to the container body 1 side (upper side in the axial direction). The moving part 3 may be made immovable to the side opposite to the container main body 1 only by engagement between the claw part 6h and the bottom surface of the flat plate part 2n. 5h and the convex portion 2k of the middle cylindrical portion 2 may be made to function as an assist, and furthermore, the engagement by the claw portion 6h is mainly used, and the convex portion 5h of the inner moving body 5 and the middle cylindrical portion are arranged. You may make it function as an auxiliary | assistant engagement with the 2 convex part 2k.

Thus, by moving the moving part 3 to the 2nd stop position, the closing of the communication hole 2h by the bottom face part 6b is opened (the valve is opened), and the powder cosmetic sealed in the container body 1 A can be discharged out of the powder cosmetic container 100 through the slit 6c serving as a discharge path, the discharge cylinder 6, and the opening 6a. And after the moving part 3 moves to the 2nd stop position, the cap 11 is removed from the powder cosmetic container 100, and preparations for use are completed.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, after the stopper 7 is removed from the powder cosmetic container 100 and the moving part 3 is in the first stop position, a part of the middle cylinder part 2 is visible. However, as shown in FIG. 4, after the moving part 3 has moved to the second stop position, the middle cylinder part 2 is hidden behind the moving part 3. Therefore, the user judges that the moving unit 3 has moved downward in the axial direction from the appearance of the powder cosmetic container 100, so that the powder cosmetic container 100 is in a state in which the powder cosmetic A can be discharged ( It can be confirmed that the discharge cylinder 6 protrudes downward by a certain length from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h and the slit 6c is exposed. Furthermore, when a part or all of the container main body 1 is transparent, it can be directly visually confirmed whether or not the discharge tube 6 protrudes from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length.

When the moving part 3 is moved to the second stop position, the length of the discharge cylinder 6 protruding from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h is such that the slit 6c is exposed and an appropriate amount of powder cosmetic is available for use by the user. Any length is possible as long as A can be discharged. Further, when the cap 11 is removed, the outer movable body 4 (moving part 3) and the middle cylinder part 2 are coupled so as not to be circumferentially rotatable, and the middle cylinder part 2 and the container body 1 are not circumferentially rotatable. Since they are coupled, even if the user holds the container body 1 and rotates the cap 11 in the direction to release the screwing, the moving portion 3 and the middle cylinder portion 2 do not rotate synchronously with the cap 11 and can be easily The cap 11 can be removed from the powder cosmetic container 100.

In using the powder cosmetic container 100 described so far, if the application member 10 is lightly struck against and pressed against the skin such as the face, the powder cosmetic A in the container body 1 is discharged from the slit 6c through the discharge tube. 6 enters the discharge tube 6, travels from the opening 6 a to the application member 10, flows out through the porous elastic body 8 and the applicator 9 constituting the application member 10, and is used for application. .

At this time, the user normally thinks that the powder cosmetic A flows out from substantially the center of the application member 10, but the powder cosmetic A passing through the elastic body 8 is not the main path except the outflow hole 8a. Since it also goes to the direction of the applicator 9 from this part, it will try to flow out also from parts other than the outflow hole 8a (from parts other than the approximate center of the application member 10). If a powder cosmetic container that does not include the nonwoven fabric 12 is used, such as the powder cosmetic container 100 of the present invention, when the application member 10 is pressed against the coated body such as the skin, other than the outflow hole 8a of the elastic body 8 The powder cosmetic A flows out from the portion together with air (the powder cosmetic A does not flow out from the outflow hole 8a), and as shown in FIG. May adhere to the user's intended location.

However, by providing the non-woven fabric 12 like the powder cosmetic container 100 of the present invention, the non-woven fabric 12 allows air to pass through but suppresses the passage of the powder cosmetic A, as shown in FIG. Since the powder cosmetic A can mainly flow out from the outflow hole 8a of the elastic body 8 (mainly, the powder cosmetic A can flow out from substantially the center of the application member 10), the user intended. It becomes possible to apply the powder cosmetic A to the place of the body to be coated.

As mentioned above, although this invention was concretely demonstrated based on the embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, you may make it form the application member 10 by apply | coating an adhesive agent to the location which does not prevent passage of air at the time of application | coating of the powder cosmetics A to the elastic body 8 or the applicator 9, and sticking the nonwoven fabric 12.
