A first engaging ridge 2 is provided on the outer surface of the upper end of the wall portion. The first engaging ridge has an upper surface inclined upward and outward, and as shown in FIG. 2, is slightly shorter than the entire circumferential length of the outer surface of the cylindrical tubular wall, and a first forced ridge is provided between both ends thereof. The over-travel engagement release portion 3 is formed.
In addition, an inward flange is protruded from the upper end of the cylindrical wall, and a plurality of ridges 4 are vertically provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical wall at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.

Reference numeral C denotes a support plate, which is placed on the bottom surface of the container A with a predetermined gap between itself and the inner wall of the peripheral wall of the container A with the lower surface of the cylindrical wall closed with a bottom plate. An outward flange protrudes from the upper end of the support dish cylindrical wall, and as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of notches 5 are formed at predetermined circumferential intervals at an outer peripheral end of the outward flange to support the notches. The support plate C is made unrotatable by engaging with the protrusion 4 of the tube B so as to be vertically movable.
In the gap between the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the container A and the outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the support plate C,
A support spring 6 formed of a coil spring surrounding the entire periphery of the cylindrical wall of the support plate C is disposed, and its upper end is engaged with the lower surface of the outward flange, and its lower end is engaged with the bottom surface of the container A. Urges the support plate C upward. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a plurality of long grooves 6a are vertically provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the wall of the support plate C.

Reference numeral D denotes a filling drum, which stores the solid cosmetic powder 7 with the lower surface of the peripheral wall closed with a bottom wall. As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of ridges 8 are vertically provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the peripheral wall, and the ridges 8 are engaged with the long grooves 6 a of the support plate C to form a filling drum D. Cannot rotate.

E is a shaving drum, which has a plurality of elongated holes 10 radially formed in a bottom plate 9 for closing the lower surface of a cylindrical peripheral wall.
A cutter (not shown) is attached to the rear edge of the elongated hole in the rotating direction, a circular opening is formed in the center of the bottom plate 9, and an outward flange is protruded from the upper end of the peripheral wall. This shaving drum E
Can be rotatably fitted to the inner surface of the filling drum D, and the puff 11 is placed on the bottom plate 9 thereof.

F is a connecting cylinder, which is a cylindrical short cylinder 1 having an open bottom.
2. An inward flange 13 protrudes from the upper end. The short cylinder 12 is elastically deformable outward with its upper end as a fulcrum, and a second engaging ridge 14 slightly shorter than the entire circumferential length of the inner surface of the short cylinder is provided on the inner surface of the lower end thereof. As clearly shown, a second forced over-engagement disengagement portion 1 is provided between both ends of the second engagement ridge.
5 is formed. The second disengagement portion can be positioned below the first disengagement portion 3 by the rotation of the connecting cylinder F. This positioning is performed as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5.
A short cylinder 12 corresponding to the outer surface of the upper end of the container body A corresponding to the position below the first disengagement portion 3 and the upper portion of the second engagement release portion 15.
This is further facilitated by marking each of the outer surfaces with, for example, triangular marks.

The lower surface of the second engaging ridge 14 is inclined downward and inward. When the connecting cylinder F is pushed from above the supporting cylinder B, the inclined lower surface engages with the upper surface of the first engaging ridge 2 to form the short cylinder 1.
2 is expanded outward and further pushed in, the lower surface of the second engaging ridge 14 is released from engagement with the upper surface of the first engaging ridge 2.
Then, the short cylinder 12 returns to the original shape from the expanded state and
The upper surface of the engaging ridge 14 is rotatably engaged with the lower surface of the first engaging ridge 2.

On the other hand, the upper surface of the second engaging ridge 14 is inclined upward and inward. For this reason, the engagement and disengagement with the lower surface of the first engagement ridge 2 are smoothly performed. Further, the outer peripheral edge of the lower surface of the inward flange 13 of the connecting cylinder F is slidably contacted with the upper surface of the inward flange of the support cylinder B, and the inner peripheral edge of the lower surface of the inward flange 13 is fixed to the outer flange of the shaving drum E. It is fixed to the upper surface.

G is a cap which forms a female screw on the inner surface of the lower end of the peripheral wall, and hangs the pressing cylinder 16 from the outer peripheral end of the lower surface of the top wall which closes the upper surface of the peripheral wall. The female screw can be screwed into the male screw on the peripheral wall of the container A, and the pressing cylinder 16 presses the upper surface of the connecting cylinder F above the outward flange of the supporting cylinder B when the cap G is screwed in to keep the inside of the shaving drum E airtight. To prevent the powder powder from leaking out.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
In use, the connecting tube F is rotated after the cap G is turned and removed from the container A. The direction of rotation is not limited, and may be any of a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction. When the connecting cylinder F is rotated, the top surface of the solid cosmetic powder 7 is pressed against the bottom plate 9 of the shaving drum E, so that the solid cosmetic powder 7 is cut into a powder form by a cutter, and is further scooped up by the cutter. From the elongated hole 10 to the bottom plate 9. The powder powder that has not been scooped by the cutter accumulates in the circular opening at the center of the bottom plate 9.

Since a large number of elongated holes 10 are radially formed in the bottom plate 9 and the puffs are placed on the bottom plate 9, the powder powder can be substantially placed on the bottom surface of the puff by rotating the shaving drum E an appropriate number of times. Attaches evenly. When the amount of the solid cosmetic powder 7 is thus consumed and the amount in the filling drum D is reduced, the filling drum D is urged upward through the support plate C, so that the height corresponding to the reduced amount is increased. And the shaving drum E is rotatably fitted to the inner surface of the filling drum. Accordingly, the solid cosmetic powder 7 is always pressed against the bottom plate 9 of the shaving drum E.

When all of the cosmetic solid powder 7 has been consumed, the filling drum D is replaced. For that purpose, connecting tube F
Is rotated to position the second disengagement portion 15 below the first disengagement portion 3, and touch the upper wall of the second disengagement portion 15 to move the short cylinder 12 upward. Then, the connecting tube F is removed from the supporting tube B because the second engaging ridge 14 forcibly climbs over the first engaging ridge 2 and disengages from the engagement with the first engaging ridge. It becomes possible. After removal, support plate E
, The filling drum D may be lifted upward and taken out.

Next, after the new filling drum D is fitted into the support dish C, the shaving drum bottom plate 9 is
The connection tube F may be placed on the upper surface and the connecting tube F may be pressed against the upper surface of the support tube B from above the support tube B. Then, the second engagement ridge 14 is engaged with the first engagement ridge 2. In the above, the first
Although both of the engagement release portions 3 and the second engagement release portions 15 are provided, the connection tube F can be removed by providing only one of them.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show one embodiment of the compact cosmetic container according to the second aspect of the present invention. In this embodiment, the first configuration of the support spring for urging the support plate C upward is described.
Is different from the embodiment. That is, in the present embodiment, the support spring 106 is formed of a torsion spring in which a wire middle portion is wound in a coil shape, and both ends of the wire extend vertically in opposite directions. The support spring 10 thus formed
6 is non-rotatably fitted to the outer surface of a columnar projection 17 radially protruding from the outer surface of the peripheral wall of the support plate C, and the upper end of both ends of the wire is engaged with the lower surface of the outward flange at the upper end of the support plate C. At the same time, the lower end is engaged with the upper surface of the bottom wall of the container A.

Although the number of the support springs 106 is not particularly limited,
From the viewpoint of the necessary minimum urging force, uniform distribution of the urging force, and cost reduction by reducing the number of members, about three are sufficient. Of course, in this case, the columnar projections 17 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall of the support plate C, and the columnar projections 17 are arranged at the same height from the bottom surface of the support plate C.

[0024]

According to the compact cosmetic container of the present invention, a rotatable shaving drum having a cutter is provided in the container body, so that solid powder can be used without using powder powder. Therefore, there is no need to worry about powder leakage prevention measures. In addition, the solid powder may be powdered by a cutter and then attached to the puff, and it is not necessary to directly press the puff against the solid powder, so that the puff can be easily used. Further, since the solid powder is turned into powder by rotating the shaving drum, it is possible to obtain an adequate and sufficient amount of powder in powder form, so that an appropriate amount of powder powder can be attached to the puff.

Further, since a large number of elongated holes are radially formed in the bottom plate of the shaving drum, if the shaving drum is rotated while the puff is placed on the bottom plate, powdery powder is almost uniformly formed on the entire surface of the puff. The puffs will be attached, and thus the use of the puffs will be easier. Further, the first engagement ridge and the second engagement ridge are formed with inclined surfaces, and the shaving drum is mounted by the engagement between the first engagement ridge and the second engagement ridge. The cutting drum is removed by pushing up the short cylinder by aligning them in the vertical direction, so that the cutting drum can be easily attached and detached with a simple configuration, and therefore, the filling located below the cutting drum Drum replacement is quick and easy.

Further, since the filling drum was urged upward,
The upper surface of the powder is constantly pressed against the cutter with a predetermined pressing force despite the lowering of the powder surface due to the powder consumption, so that the powder is reliably removed at a substantially constant rate.

[0027] The cosmetic compact container according to claim 2 is
As a support spring for urging the support plate, not a whole circumference of the support plate peripheral surface, but a torsion spring that can obtain a predetermined urging force by being arranged at a predetermined position on the outer periphery of the support plate,
Cost reduction can be achieved.
