That is, the container with the coating tool of the present invention includes a container body in which the contents are housed, a cap detachably attached to the mouth of the container body, and a bottom portion of the container body while being attached to the cap. A coating tool extending downward toward the side and having a coating portion at the lower end portion and a sliding member provided so as to be movable up and down in the container body are provided, and the container body is provided at an ascending end position. A regulating portion is provided for locking the sliding member that has reached and restricting the further rise of the sliding member, and the sliding member is a mounting cylinder to which the coating tool is detachably fitted. It is provided in the container body so as to be slidable up and down, and includes a first liquid collecting portion that is in contact with the bottom surface in a state of being elastically deformed along the bottom surface of the container body.

According to the present invention, since the sliding member includes the first liquid collecting portion, it is restored and deformed when the cap is attached to the mouth portion while the applicator is inserted downward into the container body. When the first liquid collecting portion that is in contact with or is close to the inner peripheral surface of the container body reaches the bottom of the container body, it slides on the bottom surface while elastically deforming along the bottom surface of the container body. Will be done. As a result, even if the contents in the container body are reduced, the contents remaining on the inner peripheral surface of the container body or the bottom surface in the container body are collected and raised on the bottom surface by the first liquid collecting portion. It becomes possible to easily adhere to the coating portion, and the remaining amount of the contents in the container body can be reduced.
Since the container body is provided with a regulating portion, when the cap is pulled up together with the coating tool fitted in the mounting cylinder of the sliding member to bring the sliding member to the rising end position, the sliding member Is locked to the regulation portion, and the coating tool can be pulled out upward from the inside of the mounting cylinder. As a result, the excess contents adhering to the coating portion and the coating tool are squeezed off by the mounting cylinder, and the operability can be improved.

The sliding member has a connecting portion that connects the mounting cylinder and the first liquid collecting portion, and a second collecting portion that extends upward from the connecting portion and is slidably provided in the container body. A liquid portion is provided, and the first liquid collecting portion extends downward from the connecting portion, and a plurality of the connecting portions may be provided at intervals in the circumferential direction.
