Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for accommodating cosmetics in a portable manner, and more particularly to providing a mesh body for covering the accommodated cosmetics in a container body, and applying a cosmetic material having passed through the mesh body. The present invention relates to a cosmetic container used by rubbing with a puff.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a cosmetic container of this kind, when using a cosmetic, a part of the cosmetic is transmitted through the mesh by applying a slight pressing force to the upper surface of the mesh with a puff. And is pushed out to the upper surface, and can be scraped off with the puff.

[0003] In a cosmetic container provided with such a mesh body, when the amount of the cosmetic is reduced with its use, the gap between the mesh body and the upper surface position of the cosmetic increases. For this reason, the mesh body can be easily lowered in the container body.

On the other hand, it is desirable that the mesh body be detachable from the container body so that the cosmetic can be replenished, and the cosmetic body can be used repeatedly because the cosmetic can be replenished in this way. Can be effectively used.

Furthermore, when the lid is closed, a puff is stored between the mesh body and the lid. And
By pressing the puff on the back of the closed lid, the pressing force at this time presses the puff against the mesh body and seals it, preventing the cosmetics in the storage part from leaking from the mesh body part can do.

[0006]

However, as described above, in the cosmetic container in which the mesh body can be lowered, the mesh body descends as the amount of the cosmetic decreases.
The gap between the mesh body and the lid gradually increases. For this reason, when the cosmetic material is full and when the amount of the cosmetic material is low, the pressing force with which the mesh body is pressed against the puff is reduced, and the mesh body by the puff when the lid is closed is extended. Sealing performance is impaired. Therefore, in order to secure the sealing function by puff even when the amount of cosmetics is low,
If the gap between the mesh body and the lid when the cosmetic is full is set to be small, there is a problem that the puff is strongly crushed and damaged earlier.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and it has been made possible to remove the mesh body in order to enable the replenishment of the cosmetic, and to reduce the mesh body with the decrease of the cosmetic. Allowing the descent, and maintaining the height position of the mesh body constant irrespective of the amount of cosmetics, it is possible to securely seal the mesh body with a suitable pressing force with a puff in the closed state of the lid. An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic container that can be used.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, a cosmetic container according to the present invention comprises a container body provided with a storage section for cosmetics, a lid for opening and closing the storage section of the container body, and A mesh container removably disposed above the cosmetic material filled in the storage portion, and in a cosmetic container containing a puff between the mesh body and the lid, the cosmetic container is provided above the peripheral edge of the mesh body. An elastic frame for slidingly contacting and sealing the inner periphery of the storage portion while allowing the mesh body to move up and down is arranged, and an upper frame is provided below the mesh body to support the same at a constant height. An elastic member which is elastically deformable and is pressed against the puff is provided.

[0009] According to this configuration, the mesh body disposed in the cosmetic storage portion so as to be movable up and down is elastically supported by the elastic member, and the mesh body can be lowered by the deformation of the elastic member. . For this reason, even when the amount of the cosmetic is reduced, the mesh can easily reach the cosmetic by the pressing force when the mesh is rubbed with the puff, and the required amount of the cosmetic can be transmitted through the mesh. Can be.

The puff is accommodated between the mesh body and the lid with the lid closed, and at this time, the mesh body is supported at a predetermined height by the elastic member. Therefore, a constant pressing force is always applied to the puff when the lid is closed, and the mesh body can be sealed with the puff at all times regardless of the amount of cosmetics stored. The material can be prevented from leaking from the storage unit.

Further, since the periphery of the mesh body is sealed by an elastic frame which is in sliding contact with the inner periphery of the storage section, it is possible to prevent the cosmetic from leaking from the periphery of the mesh body and to slide the elastic frame on the inner periphery of the storage section. By removing the mesh body from the storage section and refilling cosmetics, it is possible to set it again,
The seal by the elastic frame is also restored, so that the cosmetic container can be reused and its effective use can be achieved.
