Description

  The present invention relates to a container containing a material whose surface is brought into contact with an object to be used at the time of use, and a method for manufacturing such a container.

  For example, in the cosmetic field, the above-mentioned materials are often used as solid cosmetics such as lipsticks applied to the surface of the lips, eyebrows applied to the surface of the eyebrows, and eye lines drawn on the surface of the eyelashes at the time of eyelashes. It is used. Cosmetics with such solid cosmetics include sticks that are pre-stored in a container in addition to those that are applied to the surface of the lips and the like by applying the cosmetics stored in the palette in advance to the brush (pallet type). There is a type (stick type) in which cosmetics are applied directly to the surface of the lips or the like. Stick-type cosmetics are widely used because they can be easily applied to the lips and the like and more portable than the palette type.

  Regarding such stick-type cosmetics, a sample container in which a usage amount of cosmetics for two to three times is housed in a container body has been proposed as a trial cosmetic (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-9411

  However, since the above-described conventional sample container is provided with a lid that covers the cosmetics contained in the container body, the user must detach the lid before and after makeup, and the lid Therefore, there is a problem that the handling is complicated. Further, in the above-described conventional sample container, since the contact area between the lid body and the container body is small in a state where the lid body is attached to the container body, the lid body is dropped from the container body while carrying the sample container. There is a risk that cosmetics may adhere to surrounding portable products or the cosmetics may be broken, and the portability is not sufficient. On the other hand, if the contact area is increased in consideration of portability, another problem that it is difficult to remove the lid is caused. When it can be used only two to three times as in the conventional sample container described above, it is necessary to keep the manufacturing cost of the entire container as low as possible. However, in the conventional sample container described above, A lid having a shape that can be fitted has to be manufactured separately, and there is a limit to reducing the cost.

  Accordingly, the present invention solves at least one of the above-mentioned problems, and relates to a container containing a material whose surface is in contact with an object to be used when used, and improves the ease of handling and portability and reduces the manufacturing cost. In order to do this, the following configuration was adopted.

The container of the present invention is
A container containing a material whose surface is in contact with an object to be used when in use,
At one end, a rod-shaped holding body holding the material of a predetermined amount or less,
A cylinder externally fitted to the holding body so that it cannot be detached from the holding body;
At least one part of the cylindrical body is moved along the holding body at least once from the first position where the material is stored in the cylindrical body to the second position where the material is exposed outside the cylindrical body. And a moving means for moving.

  The materials whose surface comes into contact with the object to be used during use include cosmetics such as lipstick, lip, eyebrow, eyeline, nail polish, erasing materials for erasing cosmetics after application to the object, and coating agents. Drugs, crayons, pencils, mechanical pencils, erasing materials (such as erasers) for erasing writing materials such as pencils and mechanical pencil cores, and writing materials drawn on objects, adhesive materials such as glue, and sticks Food (for example, rice cake) can be considered and includes not only solid materials but also liquid materials. When the above materials are cosmetics, their erasing materials, foods, drugs, etc., part of the human body such as face, nails, tongue, affected area, etc. corresponds to “objects to be used”, and these materials are writing materials and their erasing materials In the case of an adhesive material, paper or the like corresponds to the “object to be used”.

  In the container of the present invention, a cylindrical body is externally fitted to the holding body that holds the material so that it cannot be detached from the holding body. The moving means moves at least one part of the cylindrical body along the holding body at least once from the first position where the material is stored in the cylindrical body to the second position where the material is exposed outside the cylindrical body. To do. For this reason, the user can use the material only by shifting at least a part of the cylinder from the first position to the second position. After the material is used, at least a part of the cylinder is used. By simply shifting from the second position to the first position, it is possible to prevent adhesion of the material to the surroundings and breakage of the material. Therefore, it is possible to provide a container that is easy to handle and excellent in portability.

  It is also desirable to provide stop means for stopping the moved cylindrical body at the second position in terms of facilitating continuous use of the material.

  It is also preferable that the cylindrical body has an expandable / contractible part in a range facing the holding body, and at least a part of the cylindrical body can be moved by the expansion / contraction of the elastic part. In this way, it is possible to easily switch between a state where the material is stored in the cylinder and a state where the material is exposed outside the cylinder.

  When the stretchable part is formed in a bellows shape using a flexible material, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the tubular body is stopped at the second position by buckling the contracted stretchable part. If it carries out like this, it will become possible to stop a cylinder in a 2nd position, without providing a special latching means in a cylinder or a holding body. Therefore, the manufacture of the container is facilitated, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In such a configuration, it is also preferable that the holding body has a recess in which the buckled expansion / contraction part is accommodated in a range facing the expansion / contraction part in that the expansion / contraction of the expansion / contraction part becomes smoother.

  The moving means is a means for moving the entire cylinder from the first position to the second position, and the stopping means is engaged with the holding cylinder by moving the cylinder to the second position. It is good also as a means to stop. If it carries out like this, the state in which material is exposed outside a cylinder can be maintained more reliably. In such a configuration, it is also preferable that the cylindrical body protrudes more in the movement direction than the holding body by moving the cylindrical body from the first position to the second position. By doing so, the total length of the container at the time of use becomes longer than that at the time of non-use, so that the ease of use of the container can be further enhanced.

  It is also desirable to provide a drop-off preventing means for preventing the material from dropping from the holding body because the reliability of the container can be improved.

  If the holding body and the cylindrical body are made of synthetic resin, the material cost and the processing cost can be reduced, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  It is good also as a structure provided with the cover which covers the edge part of the cylinder located in a material side when a cylinder is in a 1st position. In this way, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from adhering to the material.

  In the above configuration, the holding body holds the first material and the second material, respectively, at one end and the other end, and the cylindrical body includes the holding body, the first material, and the second material. When the first material and the second material are stored in the cylindrical body, the moving member is moved from the storage position in which the first material and the second material are stored in the cylindrical body. It is also preferable to use means for moving along the holding body to the first exposed position exposed outside the cylinder and from the storage position to the second exposed position where the second material is exposed outside the cylinder. It is. If it carries out like this, it will become possible to provide the container provided with two materials with the form excellent in the ease of handling and portability, and the utilization range of a container can be expanded. For example, when the first material and the second material are colored bodies having different colors, two types of coloring can be performed using one container.

The method for producing the container of the present invention comprises:
A method of manufacturing a container containing a material whose surface is in contact with an object to be used when used,
A step of externally fitting a cylindrical body to a rod-shaped holding body so that it cannot be detached from the holding body;
The cylindrical body is moved along the holding body from a first position where one end of the holding body is housed in the cylindrical body to a second position where one end of the holding body is exposed outside the cylindrical body. Process,
Attaching the material of a predetermined amount or less to one end of the holding body moved to the second position with an outer shape smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body;
Moving the cylindrical body along the holding body from the second position to the first position;
The gist is that

  According to the container manufacturing method of the present invention, after the cylinder is externally fitted to the rod-shaped holding body so that it cannot be detached from the holding body, the cylindrical body is stored in the cylindrical body at one end of the holding body. The first end of the holding body is moved along the holding body to the second position where one end of the holding body is exposed to the outside of the cylindrical body. After the cylindrical body has been moved to the second position in this manner, a material having a predetermined amount or less is attached to one end of the holding body with an outer shape smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical body, and then the cylindrical body is moved from the second position to the first position. It moves to the position along the holding body. Therefore, a container having a predetermined amount or less of material stored in the cylinder when not in use and exposed to the outside of the cylinder when in use can be efficiently manufactured while avoiding interference between the material and the cylinder.

(1) Example:
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on examples. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a schematic configuration of a container 10 of the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing an arrow cross-sectional shape when the container 10 shown in FIG. 1 is cut along line 2-2. . This container 10 is a stick-type container in which a lipstick 38 as a solid cosmetic is accommodated so as to be drawn out. By moving the lipstick 38 fed out from the container 10 in contact with the surface of the lips as a predetermined object, the lipstick 38 is applied to the surface of the lips, and the surface of the lips is colored in the color of the lipstick 38. .

  The container 10 is a so-called disposable container in which the size is smaller than that of a normal lipstick storage container and the amount of lipstick 38 to be stored is reduced. In this embodiment, the total length L and the total width W of the container 10 are about 65 mm and about 7 mm, respectively, and the amount of lipstick 38 stored in one container 10 is an amount that can be applied to the lips only about 2 to 3 times. When the remaining amount of lipstick 38 is reduced, the container 10 is discarded. The small-sized disposable container 10 in which such a small amount of lipstick 38 is stored is particularly suitable for a sample product provided to the user by the lipstick manufacturer or a user's portable lipstick. The amount of lipstick 38 may be applied to the lips only once, or the amount of lipstick 38 applied to the lips four times or more is discarded when the remaining amount of lipstick 38 is reduced. It does not interfere with the configuration.

  As shown in the figure, the container 10 includes a substantially cylindrical rod-shaped holding body 30 that holds a lipstick 38 at a tip portion 31 thereof, and a substantially cylindrical cylindrical body 20 into which the holding body 30 is inserted. In the present embodiment, a flexible synthetic resin is used as a molding material for the holding body 30 and the cylindrical body 20.

  The holding body 30 includes a first body portion 32, a recessed portion 33, and a second body portion 34 in this order between a front end portion 31 and a rear end portion 35 that are both ends thereof. The first body part 32, the second body part 34, and the rear end part 35 are formed with substantially the same outer diameter, and the outer diameters of the front end part 31 and the recessed part 33 are the first body part 32 and the second body part 34, respectively. The diameter is smaller than that of the rear end portion 35. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a rib 36 is formed on the second body portion 34 so as to protrude slightly outward from the second body portion 34. The outer peripheral surface 30 </ b> A of the holding body 30 is formed by a lipstick 38, a first body part 32, a recessed part 33, a second body part 34, and a rib 36 held by the tip part 31.

  The cylindrical body 20 includes a covering portion 22, an expansion / contraction portion 23, and a base portion 24 in this order between a front end portion 21 and a rear end portion 25 which are both ends thereof. An inner peripheral surface 20 </ b> B of the cylindrical body 20 is formed by the covering portion 22, the stretchable portion 23, and the base portion 24. The inner diameters of the covering portion 22, the base portion 24, and the rear end portion 25 are formed to have substantially the same diameter as the outer diameters of the first barrel portion 32, the second barrel portion 34, and the rear end portion 35, respectively.

  The cylindrical body 20 is externally fitted to the holding body 30 by the action of the ribs 36. In FIG. 2 and FIGS. 3 to 5 and 10 described later, the ribs 36 are not shown for convenience of explanation. A rib 21r and a rib 25r are formed on the inner peripheral surface 20B of the front end portion 21 and the rear end portion 25 of the cylindrical body 20, respectively. When the cylindrical body 20 is to be removed from the holding body 30, the rib 21 r or the rib 25 r interferes with the first body portion 32 or the rear end portion 35. Thereby, the cylindrical body 20 is configured so as not to be detached from the holding body 30.

  The stretchable part 23 is formed in a bellows shape. For this reason, the length and inner diameter of the expansion / contraction part 23 vary depending on the degree of expansion / contraction of the expansion / contraction part 23. That is, the stretchable portion 23 is stretched by extending the bellows-shaped portion, thereby increasing the length of the stretchable portion 23 and increasing the inner diameter of the stretchable portion 23. On the other hand, when the bellows-shaped portion is folded, the folded portion is buckled, so that the stretchable portion 23 remains in a contracted state. Thereby, the length of the expansion / contraction part 23 becomes short, and the internal diameter of the expansion / contraction part 23 becomes small. In addition, in FIG. 1 (A) and FIG. 2, the cylinder 20 when the expansion-contraction part 23 has extended most is represented.

In FIG. 1A and FIG. 2, the cylindrical body 20 is attached to the holding body 30 with the stretchable portion 23 extending most. In this state, the outer peripheral surface 30 </ b> A of the holding body 30 including the surface of the lipstick 38 held at the distal end portion 31 is surrounded by the inner peripheral surface 20 </ b> B of the cylindrical body 20, and the lipstick 38 is stored in the cylindrical body 20. Yes. Hereinafter, the position of the cylindrical body 20 when the lipstick 38 is stored in the cylindrical body 20 is referred to as a first position. When the cylindrical body 20 is in the first position, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner peripheral surface 20B of the cylindrical body 20 is in the following relationship with each part constituting the outer peripheral surface 30A of the holding body 30.
(A) The inner peripheral surface 20B of the base portion 24 is opposed to the outer peripheral surface 30A of the second body portion 34 with a slight gap (formed by pressing the base portion 24 by the ribs 36).
(B) The inner peripheral surface 20B of the stretchable portion 23 is opposed to the outer peripheral surface 30A of the concave portion 33 with a slight gap G1.
(C) The inner peripheral surface 20B of the covering portion 22 is opposed to the outer peripheral surface 30A of the first body portion 32 with a slight gap (formed by pressing the base portion 24 by the ribs 36), and a lipstick 38. So as not to contact the surface of the lipstick 38 with a predetermined distance C1.

  In the container 10 shown in FIG. 2, when the covering portion 22 of the cylindrical body 20 is slid along the holding body 30 in the direction of the white arrow shown in FIG. 2, as shown in FIG. The stretchable part 23 is contracted, and the lipstick 38 is exposed outside the cylinder 20. The position of the cylindrical body 20 when the lipstick 38 is exposed outside the cylindrical body 20 is hereinafter referred to as a second position.

  When the cylindrical body 20 moves to the second position, the distal end portion 21 passes around the lipstick 38. At this time, a predetermined interval C1t is secured between the rib 21r of the tip 21 and the lipstick 38. This prevents the cylinder 20 from coming into contact with the lipstick 38 as the cylinder 20 moves.

When the cylindrical body 20 is in the second position, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner peripheral surface 20B of the cylindrical body 20 has the following relationship with each part constituting the outer peripheral surface 30A of the holding body 30.
(D) The inner peripheral surface 20B of the covering portion 22 and the base portion 24 is formed by the outer surface 30A of the first body portion 32 and the second body portion 34 by a slight gap (pressing of the base portion 24 by the ribs 36). Opposite things.
(E) The inner peripheral surface 20B of the stretchable portion 23 approaches the outer peripheral surface 30A of the recess 33 as the inner diameter of the stretchable portion 23 becomes smaller. The stretchable part 23 remains in a contracted state due to buckling, and does not return to the original direction (the direction indicated by the black thick arrow in FIG. 3). Thereby, the cylinder 20 after sliding is stopped in the second position.

  In the container 10 shown in FIG. 3, if the covering portion 22 of the cylindrical body 20 is slid along the holding body 30 in the direction indicated by the white arrow shown in FIG. Since it is canceled, the cylinder 20 can be returned from the second position to the first position.

  The manufacturing process of such a container 10 is shown in FIG. First, the cylindrical body 20 and the holding body 30 are resin-molded. The distal end portion 31 of the holding body 30 is formed into a smoothly pointed shape (a shape that gradually increases in diameter as it approaches the first body portion 32) in consideration of ease of application of the lipstick 38. As shown in FIG. 4B, the distal end portion 31 that is gradually expanded in diameter as it approaches the first body portion 32 is reduced in diameter before reaching the first body portion 32. This reduced diameter portion is referred to as a throttle portion 31A.

  After the cylindrical body 20 and the holding body 30 are formed in this way, the holding body 30 is attached to the cylindrical body 20 in the following manner to form the container body 12. First, the front end portion 31 of the holding body 30 is inserted into the cylindrical body 20 against the elasticity of the rib 25r from the rear end portion 25 side. The holding body 30 enters the cylindrical body 20 along the inner peripheral surface 20B of the cylindrical body 20, and eventually the rib 36 interferes with the rear end portion 25 or the rib 25r. In this state, when the rear end portion 35 of the holding body 30 is strongly pressed in the insertion direction, the rear end portion 25 pressed by the rib 36 slightly increases in diameter due to its elasticity, and the rib 36 enters the cylindrical body 20. . Further, when the rear end portion 35 of the holding body 30 is pressed until the rear end portion 35 and the rear end portion 25 are located on substantially the same plane, the rib 36 is formed into the cylindrical body 20 as shown in FIG. The base 24 is pressed. The cylindrical body 20 is attached to the outer peripheral surface 30 </ b> A of the holding body 30 by such pressing of the base portion 24 by the ribs 36. Of course, the cylindrical body 20 can be attached to the holding body 30 by heat welding the outer peripheral surface 30A of the holding body 30 and the inner peripheral surface 20B of the cylindrical body 20 by other methods.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4A, after the telescopic portion 23 of the container main body 12 is contracted to move the cylindrical body 20 to the second position, the container main body 12 is arranged and fixed on the plate 85. Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, the plate 85 on which a large number of container main bodies 12 are arranged and fixed is set on a base 81 of an attachment device 80 that is an apparatus for attaching the lipstick 38. The plate 85 is set so that the tip 31 of the container body 12 faces the cosmetic storage container 82 (a container in which lipstick material such as pigment is stored in a paste state).

  Next, the air cylinder 87 is driven in the forward direction, and the table 81 is lowered to a position where the lipstick material adheres to the tip portion 31 including the throttle portion 31A. When the lipstick material adheres to the tip 31, the air cylinder 87 is driven in the opposite direction to return the base 81 to the original position, and the plate 85 is removed from the base 81. When the lipstick material adhering to the tip 31 is cured to some extent, the container body 12 is removed from the plate 85. Thereby, as shown in FIG.4 (D), the container 10 with which the lipstick 38 as solid cosmetics was hold | maintained is manufactured. The container 10 shown in FIG. 4D has the same cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the lipstick 38 attached to the tip portion 31 is cured in a state of being wrapped around the reduced diameter portion 31A.

  Thereafter, the telescopic portion 23 in the container 10 is extended to move the cylindrical body 20 to the first position. Thereby, the lipstick 38 adhering to the front-end | tip part 31 of the holding body 30 is surrounded by the coating | coated part 22, and the container 10 as shown in FIG.4 (E) is completed.

  According to the container 10 of the present embodiment configured as described above, at least the following operations and effects are listed in (A) to (F).

(A) In the container 10 of the present embodiment, the cylindrical body 20 provided with the expansion / contraction part 23 is not allowed to be detached from the holding body 30 by the action of the ribs 21r, 25r, 36 on the holding body 30 that holds the lipstick 38. It is fitted on the holding body 30, and the expansion / contraction part 23 expands / contracts, so that the covering part 22 of the cylinder 20 is moved to the first position where the lipstick 38 is accommodated in the cylinder 20 and the lipstick 38 is outside the cylinder 20. It is possible to slide along the holding body 30 between the exposed second position. For this reason, the user can use the lipstick 38 only by shifting the covering portion 22 of the cylindrical body 20 from the first position to the second position. After the lipstick 38 is used, the user can use the lipstick 38. By simply shifting the covering portion 22 from the second position to the first position, it is possible to prevent the lipstick 38 from being attached to the surroundings and the lipstick 38 from being broken. Therefore, it is possible to provide a lipstick storage container that is easy to handle and has excellent portability. The container 10 of this embodiment is used for the lips that are part of the human body, but by making such a container disposable, the cleanliness of the lipstick storage container can be ensured.

(B) In the container 10 of the present embodiment, the cylindrical body 20 that has slid to the second position is stopped at the second position, so that the lipstick 38 exposed outside the cylindrical body 20 can be continuously used smoothly. Can be done.

(C) In the container 10 of this embodiment, since the holding body 30 and the cylindrical body 20 are made of synthetic resin, material costs and processing costs can be reduced, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

(D) In the container 10 of the present embodiment, the lipstick 38 is attached to the tip portion 31 provided with the throttle portion 31A, thereby preventing the lipstick 38 from falling off the holding body 30. Can increase the sex.

(E) In the container 10 of the present embodiment, sliding of the covering portion 22 of the cylindrical body 20 is realized by expansion and contraction of the expansion and contraction portion 23 located in a range facing the holding body 30. Therefore, it is possible to easily switch between the state in which the lipstick 38 is housed in the cylindrical body 20 and the state in which the lipstick 38 is exposed outside the cylindrical body 20.

(F) In the container 10 of the present embodiment, the stretchable portion 23 is formed in a bellows shape using a flexible material, and is buckled when the stretchable portion 23 contracts, whereby the cylindrical body 20 is Fix at the position. Therefore, it becomes possible to fix the cylinder 20 in the second position without providing any special locking means on the cylinder 20 or the holding body 30. Therefore, the manufacture of the container is facilitated, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. In addition, since the holding body 30 includes the recess 33 in which the contracted expansion / contraction part is accommodated in the range facing the expansion / contraction part 23, the expansion / contraction part 23 can be expanded and contracted more smoothly. Moreover, since the expansion / contraction part 23 formed in the bellows shape also acts as a slip stopper for the holding finger, the user can apply the lipstick 38 more accurately by holding the expansion / contraction part 23 with the finger. Moreover, since the outer periphery of the expansion-contraction part 23 is expanded when the expansion-contraction part 23 contracts, it becomes easy to hold the expansion-contraction part 23 with a finger, and can improve the ease of application.

(2) Modification:
Next, a modification of the above embodiment will be described. In the following description of each modification, for each part common to the above embodiment, the tens place of the reference numeral is represented by the same numerals or letters as in the above embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the concave portion 33 is formed in the holding body 30 in a range facing the stretchable portion 23. However, a configuration in which such a concave portion 33 is not formed may be adopted. Such a configuration example is shown in FIG. 5 as a first modification. FIGS. 5A and 5B show cross sections corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively. In the container 110 as the first modified example, the holding body 130 includes a trunk portion 132 formed with substantially the same outer diameter between a front end portion 131 and a rear end portion 135 which are both ends thereof. The outer peripheral surface 130 </ b> A of the holding body 130 is formed by a lipstick 138, a trunk portion 132, and a rib (not shown) held at the tip portion 131.

  Although the expansion-contraction part 123 is formed in the bellows shape similarly to the said Example, the internal diameter and outer diameter are expanded more than the said Example. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the stretchable portion 123 extends and the cylindrical body 120 is in the first position, the inner peripheral surface 120B of the stretchable portion 123 is equal to the outer peripheral surface 130A of the trunk portion 132, Opposing each other with a slight gap G2.

  When the covering portion 122 of the cylindrical body 120 is slid along the holding body 130 in the direction of the white arrow shown in FIG. 5A, as shown in FIG. As a result, the cylinder 120 is moved to the second position, and the cylinder 120 is stopped by the buckling of the expansion / contraction part 123. Therefore, the continuous use of the lipstick 138 exposed outside the cylinder 120 can be smoothly performed.

  In addition, in the said Example thru | or modification, although the cylinder 20 was stopped in the 2nd position by buckling of the expansion-contraction part 23, like the 2nd modification shown in FIG. It is also possible to stop the cylindrical body 820 at the second position by using friction generated between the body 830 and the body 830. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, when the expansion / contraction part 823 contracts, the inner peripheral surface 820 </ b> B of the expansion / contraction part 823 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface 830 </ b> A of the recess 833 due to a decrease in the inner diameter of the expansion / contraction part 823. The outer peripheral surface 830A is pressed in the axial direction of the holding body 830 (the direction indicated by the black thick arrow in FIG. 6). Thereafter, the stretchable portion 823 tries to return to the original state (extended state) due to its flexibility, but occurs in the contact range between the inner peripheral surface 820B of the stretchable portion 823 and the outer peripheral surface 830A of the recessed portion 833. The frictional force prevents the expansion / contraction part 823 from returning. As a result, the holding body 830 is gripped by the stretchable portion 823, and the cylinder 820 after sliding is stopped at the second position. Of course, it is good also as a structure which stops a cylindrical body in a 2nd position using together such a frictional force and buckling of an expansion-contraction part.

  In the above-described embodiment, sliding along the holding body 30 of the cylindrical body 20 (covering section 22) is realized by expansion and contraction of the expansion / contraction part 23 provided in the cylindrical body 20. It may be realized without providing the expansion / contraction part 23 in the 20. Such a configuration example is shown in FIG. 7 as a third modification. 7A and 7B show cross sections corresponding to FIGS. 2 and 3, respectively, and FIG. 7C shows the container 210 shown in FIG. 7B along the line 7C-7C. It represents the shape of the end face as viewed from the direction of the arrow. Note that in FIG. 7C, for convenience of explanation, the holding body 230 is represented using a virtual line.

  A container 210 as a third modified example includes a holding body 230 including a barrel portion 232 formed with substantially the same outer diameter between a front end portion 231 and a rear end portion 235 which are both ends thereof. 232 differs from the above-described embodiment in that grooves 237a, 237b, 239a, and 239b are formed on the outer peripheral surface 230A of 232, and claw portions 227a, 227b, 229a, and 229b are provided on the inner peripheral surface 220B of the cylindrical body 220.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, two groove portions 239a and 239b are provided at a position near the rear end portion 235 of the outer peripheral surface 230A in the body portion 232 so as to face each other. Further, two groove portions 237a and 237b are provided on the outer peripheral surface 230A of the body portion 232 closer to the tip portion 231 than the formation positions of the groove portions 239a and 239 so as to face each other. Two claw portions 227a and 227b are provided on the inner peripheral surface 220B of the cylindrical body 220 at a position near the front end portion 221 so as to face each other, and two claw portions are located at a position near the rear end portion 225. The parts 229a and 229b are provided so as to face each other. The distance between the claw parts 227a and 227b and the claw parts 229a and 229b is substantially the same as the distance between the groove parts 237a and 237b and the groove parts 239a and 239. These claws 227a, 227b, 229a, 229b and the grooves 237a, 237b, 239a, 239b have curved surfaces. The claw portions 227a, 227b, 229a, and 229b are formed integrally with the synthetic resin cylinder 220. In addition, about the number of nail | claw parts and a groove part, a shape, and a position, it can change suitably.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the cylindrical body 220 includes a body portion 232 in a range where the groove portions 237a, 237b, 239a, and 239b are not formed, between the claw portion 227a and the claw portion 227b, and the claw portion 229a. The holder 230 is attached by being sandwiched between the claw portions 229b. In this state, the outer peripheral surface 230 </ b> A of the holding body 230 including the surface of the lipstick 238 held by the tip 231 is surrounded by the inner peripheral surface 220 </ b> B of the cylindrical body 220. 238 is in the first position where it is stored. When the cylindrical body 220 is in the first position, the inner peripheral surface 220B of the cylindrical body 220 is opposed to the surface of the lipstick 238 with a predetermined interval C2.

  In the container 210 shown in FIG. 7A, when the entire cylindrical body 220 is slid along the holding body 230 in the direction of the white arrow shown in FIG. 7A, it is shown in FIG. 7B. As described above, the claw portions 227a, 227b, 229a, and 229b are fitted into the groove portions 237a, 237b, 239a, and 239b, and the cylindrical body 220 is locked to the holding body 230. Accordingly, the cylindrical body 220 is fixed at the second position where the lipstick 238 is exposed outside the cylindrical body 220. Further, as the cylindrical body 220 slides from the first position to the second position, the cylindrical body 220 protrudes by a length N from the rear end portion 235 of the holding body 230 to the sliding direction side.

  When the entire cylindrical body 220 is slid along the holding body 230 in the direction of the white arrow shown in FIG. 7B from the state in which the cylindrical body 220 is fixed at the second position, a curved surface shape is obtained. The claw portions 227a, 227b, 229a, and 229b are smoothly detached from the groove portions 237a, 237b, 239a, and 239b along the curved surfaces of the groove portions 237a, 237b, 239a, and 239b. Thereby, the cylinder 220 can be returned from the second position to the first position.
