2. Description of the Related Art Among cosmetic containers, a refill container containing a replacement cosmetic is prepared. By replacing the refill container, the cosmetic container itself can be continuously used without being discarded. The thing is known (for example, Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 9-65920). The refill container is
It is often composed of a dish portion filled with cosmetics and a lid portion that covers the dish portion in an openable and closable manner. In particular, when the cosmetic is volatile, the refill container is optionally provided with a lid in order to ensure airtightness that prevents the cosmetic from volatilizing. Also, unlike the cosmetic container, this refill container is considered as a disposable container, and its functionality is emphasized regardless of its appearance.

On the other hand, the cosmetic container has a container body and a lid body, and the refill container for refilling is detachably mounted in the storage part of the container body, and the lid body is closed so that the refill container is placed inside the cosmetic container. It is stored in a concealed state. That is, in this type of cosmetics container, a disposable refill container is housed therein, and an aesthetic appearance is obtained by the container body and the lid.

[0004]

By the way, in the conventional cosmetics container described above, the refill container is concealed and stored in the interior thereof, so that it has a double lid structure and a double bottom structure as a whole, and has a large thickness. It was a thing. The double bottom structure is unavoidable because the dish is filled with the cosmetic material, which increases the thickness of the cosmetic container.

On the other hand, with respect to the double lid structure, it is possible to abolish the lid portion of the refill container, but the lid portion also has a role of protecting cosmetics in the distribution process and a role of increasing the commercial value of the refill container alone. Yes, it is therefore preferable to provide the refill container with the lid. Further, in particular, when the refill container is required to be airtight, it is necessary to be able to seal the dish part by the lid part, and in addition to this, since the container body is closed with the lid part, a double lid structure is also obtained. This is unavoidable, and this also raises the problem of increasing the thickness of the cosmetic container.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a cosmetic container capable of accommodating a refill container consisting of a plate portion and a lid portion, while reducing the thickness thereof. The purpose is to provide.

[0007]
