Description

  The present invention relates to a switch mechanism and a liquid cosmetic container or the like in which a heat generating mechanism such as a heater, a lighting device, a buzzer, and the like are integrated in a cap by using an electric supply mechanism having the switch mechanism.

Conventionally, in a liquid cosmetic container that contains liquid cosmetics such as mascara, a liquid cosmetic application body for applying the liquid cosmetic is usually fixed integrally in a cap, and the liquid cosmetic The container itself is being reduced in size in consideration of portability and the like. However, with respect to liquid cosmetic containers that are being reduced in size in this way, heat generation mechanisms such as heaters, lighting, etc. from the viewpoint of confirming the type of liquid cosmetic used, the environment of the place of use, and the sealing of the cap, etc. It has been proposed that a device, a buzzer, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “apparatus”) are attached. That is, if the liquid cosmetic contained in the liquid cosmetic container is of high viscosity such as mascara, the extensibility of the liquid cosmetic is greatly reduced, for example, applying mascara to fine wrinkles. In this case, it is difficult to apply evenly at a time, and it is necessary to apply the liquid cosmetic material repeatedly for each part. Therefore, if it takes even a little time, the liquid cosmetic material may solidify locally. In addition, when the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic is high, the application part and the wrinkle for applying the liquid cosmetic are liable to be bonded and solidified integrally through the liquid cosmetic. Therefore, it becomes difficult to give an appropriate curl.
On the contrary, if the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic is lowered, the extensibility of the liquid cosmetic will certainly improve, and it is possible to apply the liquid cosmetic evenly even for fine objects such as wrinkles. It becomes. However, since the liquid cosmetics cannot be dried quickly by reducing the viscosity, and the eyes are stimulated for a long time during drying, the liquid cosmetics can be applied quickly and safely. It will not be possible. In addition, since the viscosity is lowered, it becomes difficult to bond the application part and the wrinkles, so that the curling cannot be given to the wrinkles simultaneously with the application of the liquid cosmetic, and the liquid cosmetic is dried appropriately. I have to wait to do it.
As a result, liquid cosmetics can be applied evenly all at once, and the viscosity of liquid cosmetics to be applied can be temporarily reduced by some method to enable curling of wrinkles and the like due to rapid viscosity recovery. As a means for this, a heat generating mechanism such as a heater is to be provided in the liquid cosmetic application body.

Further, the place where makeup is performed outside is usually a place where lighting such as a washroom or a corner of a corridor cannot be obtained sufficiently. Moreover, the makeup work needs to be performed quickly and accurately. Therefore, when applying the liquid cosmetic, a certain amount of illumination is required so that the application location and amount of the liquid cosmetic can be accurately grasped. As a result, the liquid cosmetic container is intended to be attached with a minimum lighting fixture capable of performing makeup work.
Furthermore, the liquid cosmetic container is one of those that are always carried by women because it is downsized and its portability is dramatically improved. However, when carrying, the cap of the liquid cosmetic container is not fastened correctly, and if a gap is formed between the mouth of the cosmetic container body and the cap, the liquid cosmetic container is liquidated. There is a risk of cosmetic leakage. As a result, the interior of the handbag or pouch that carries the liquid cosmetic container becomes dirty. Therefore, it is intended to attach a buzzer, a lighting device, etc. to the cap so that the cap of the liquid cosmetic container is securely fastened not only by hand touch but also visually or audibly. is there.

However, even if it is attempted to attach the above-described device or the like to the liquid cosmetic container as described above, the liquid cosmetic container itself has become very small and thin because it follows portability and design. As a result, it has been difficult to integrally attach an electric power supply mechanism including a power source and a switch mechanism for supplying electricity to the apparatus and the like together with the apparatus and the like.
In particular, the power supply mechanism including the power source and the switch mechanism requires at least a space for accommodating a power source such as a battery, and also supplies electricity to a device or the like that is integrally incorporated in the liquid cosmetic container. When supplying, a switch mechanism for turning on and off the supply of electricity is also required. In the switch mechanism, the operation for fastening or releasing the screwing between the cap as the liquid cosmetic container and the liquid cosmetic container and the electric cutting operation of the electric supply mechanism are completely different. Since the switch mechanism must be provided separately from the original configuration of the liquid cosmetic container, downsizing and diameter reduction for the purpose of improving portability and design are obstructed. .
In addition, since the cosmetic contained in the liquid cosmetic container is in a liquid state, the cap can be sufficiently opened and closed sufficiently to prevent the cap from leaking outside when being carried. is important.

  Therefore, in the case of liquid cosmetic containers, particularly liquid cosmetic containers that have been reduced in size and reduced in diameter to improve portability and designability, the above-mentioned devices and the like should be secured in a conventionally required manner. In addition to the downsizing of the power supply mechanism including a power source for supplying electricity to the device or the like, the switch mechanism for operating the power supply mechanism must be simple and reliable.

  The problem to be solved is, for example, in the case where the above-mentioned device or the like is integrally attached in a small-sized or thin-shaped one such as a liquid cosmetic container containing a liquid cosmetic such as mascara. An electricity supply mechanism including a power source and a switch mechanism that supplies electricity to the liquid prevents the liquid cosmetic container from being reduced in size and diameter.

For this reason, in the liquid cosmetic container, when the above-mentioned device or the like is attached integrally, an electric supply mechanism having the following switch mechanism is first used to supply electricity to the device or the like.
For example, a liquid cosmetic applicator comprising a cosmetic container main body storing liquid cosmetic therein, and a support shaft that is detachably attached to the mouth of the cosmetic container main body and holds the application portion at the tip thereof. In a liquid cosmetic container comprising a cap fixed integrally, a mouth part of a cosmetic container body that is a threaded body, and a cylindrical threaded body that can be screwed together with the mouth part of the cosmetic container body The cap includes a certain inner cap and a cap body that is a rotation switch body that is rotatable and engageable with the inner cap of the screwed body. And, in the cap body, the inner cap that can be screwed together with the mouth portion of the cosmetic container body is internally integrated and fixed,
On the outer wall of the inner cap, a long-width rib that is a locking structure and two short-width ribs having a predetermined interval are formed to project radially outward at positions facing each other,
On the inner wall surface of the cap body, a locking body rib as a locking body is formed to project radially inward at a position facing each other, and a positive / negative electrode plate is provided,
Along with the interior of the threaded body in the switch body, the locking body ribs of the switch body are arranged so as to be movable and lockable between the long-width ribs of the threaded body.
As a result, when the cap body is rotated, the locking rib provided on the inner wall surface of the cap body rotates over the short rib until it engages with the long rib provided on the outer wall of the inner cap. The positive and negative electrode plates of the cap body and the positive and negative contact plates fixed on the outer side of the inner cap are fixed in contact with each other in the rotation direction to supply electricity. It will be. On the other hand, when rotated in the reverse direction, the locking body rib provided on the inner wall surface of the cap body rotates again until it engages with the long-width rib provided on the outer wall of the inner cap. In the direction, the positive / negative electrode plates and the positive / negative contact plates are fixed in a non-contact state, and the supply of electricity is cut off.
That is, when the cap is rotated to remove the cap from the cosmetic container body in the liquid cosmetic container, first, the locking rib on the inner wall surface of the cap body moves from one long rib to the other long rib direction. start. That is, the cap body and the cosmetic container body are not unscrewed, and the cap body moves over the short ribs arranged between the long ribs with respect to the inner cap, and simultaneously with this movement. The energization of the above-described device or the like is started. Then, by further rotating the cap, the locking body rib on the inner wall surface of the cap body that has moved over the short width rib from the one long width rib side comes into contact with the other long width rib. And the engaging body rib on the inner wall surface of the cap body comes into contact with the other long-width rib, so that the rotational force of the cap body is transmitted to the screwing between the inner cap in the cap and the mouth of the cosmetic container body, The cap can be removed from the mouth of the cosmetic container body. Eventually, a series of operations in which the user removes the cap from the mouth portion of the cosmetic container main body can simultaneously perform the operation of supplying electricity to the device or the like.
In addition, after use, in order to attach the cap to the cosmetic container body, by rotating it reversely, first, the locking body rib on the inner wall surface of the cap body is lightly locked to the short-width rib adjacent to the other long-width rib. Therefore, the cap body and the inner cap housed in the cap body rotate together, and the cap is screwed together with the cosmetic container body together with the inner cap. When the cap rotates more than a certain amount, the locking body rib of the cap body that is locked to the short width rib comes into contact with one long width rib over the short width rib. As a result, the supply of electricity in the electricity supply mechanism that supplies electricity to the device or the like is cut off, and by further rotating the cap in the reverse direction, the cap is internally installed in the cap body. Together with the cap, the cosmetic container body is screwed deeply and fixed integrally. That is, the operation of cutting and fixing the cosmetic container body and the cap integrally can simultaneously perform an electrical cutting operation to the above-described device or the like housed in the cosmetic container body.

  As a result, in the liquid cosmetic application body, when a heating mechanism such as a heater is installed in the application portion held at the tip of the support shaft, when applying a high-viscosity liquid cosmetic such as mascara, The coating portion that contacts the heater is heated by a heat generating mechanism built in the coating portion. As a result, the liquid cosmetic applied by the application part easily decreases in viscosity and becomes flexible, so that it can be applied evenly to the wrinkles at once. Furthermore, since the liquid cosmetic material that has been warmed and softened by the application part rapidly becomes thick after cooling after application, the application part can be used to curl or the like by utilizing this increase in viscosity. Become.

Furthermore , a cosmetic container main body for storing the liquid cosmetic inside thereof, and a liquid cosmetic application body comprising a support shaft that is detachably attached to the mouth portion of the cosmetic container main body and holds the application section at the tip thereof. Te liquid cosmetic container smell consisting cap formed by persist together, while interior a heating mechanism in the coating portion to be held on the tip of the support shaft to be fixedly held integrally with the cap, is furnished in a coating cloth part heating By incorporating a mechanism and an electric supply mechanism including a power supply that can be turned into the cap into the cap, a power supply and a switch mechanism that supply electricity to the heat generation mechanism are included together with the heat generation mechanism in the application unit. By integrating the electric supply mechanism integrally, the liquid cosmetic applicator can be kept portable even when going out because the liquid cosmetic application body maintains the same diameter reduction, size reduction and sealed structure as before.

  In addition, since the switching operation of the switch mechanism is performed along with the rotation due to the attachment / detachment of the cap for supplying electricity, the power supply switching operation can be performed easily and reliably.

The cap body is provided with a window portion communicating with the engagement hole, and connected to the positive and negative contact plates connected to the heat generating mechanism in the coating portion, and the positive and negative electrodes of the power source built in the cap body. A display is arranged on the outer periphery of the inner cap mounted in the engagement hole so as to correspond to the connection with the positive and negative electrode plates, and the inner peripheral surface of the engagement hole of the cap main body and the engagement of the cap main body. On the outer peripheral surface of the inner cap mounted in the joint hole, by providing a protrusion that becomes a resistance by engaging with each other at the start of rotation and / or at the end of rotation, the indication is displayed when the power is connected. It can be seen through the window of the cap body, or the operational feeling during rotation of the cap body is directly felt and transmitted to the user. Accurately and It is possible to reliably grasp.

  In addition, in the application part of the cosmetic application body of the liquid cosmetic container, instead of incorporating a heating mechanism such as a heater, the cosmetic application body is made transparent with a support shaft forming the cosmetic application body transparent. If the lighting device is built in the edge of the support shaft in the cap formed by holding the lens, it can be as follows. That is, by installing the electricity supply mechanism having the switch mechanism, when the threaded engagement between the mouth portion of the cosmetic container body and the cap is released, the cosmetic application body can be used simultaneously. The support shaft forming the cosmetic application body shines by receiving light from the lighting device in the cap, and the user can perform the makeup work while obtaining the necessary illumination by the support shaft shining, After the use, by screwing the cap with the mouth of the cosmetic container body, the supply of electricity can be cut off at the same time, and the lighting device in the cap can be turned off.

  In addition, in the application part of the cosmetic applicator of the liquid cosmetic container, a buzzer for confirming the fastening of the cap, a lighting device, etc. , “Confirming device etc.”) can be installed as follows. In other words, by installing the electricity supply mechanism having the switch mechanism in the cap, when the mouth of the cosmetic container body and the cap are unscrewed and the cover of the cosmetic container is open, The confirmation device, etc. provided in the device is energized and a buzzer sound and light are lit, notifying the user of the released state, and conversely, the mouth of the cosmetic container body and the cap are completely screwed together. At the same time, the power supply can be cut off to stop the buzzer sound and the lighting fixture can be turned off. Thus, the user can easily and surely confirm the screwed state of the cap by hearing or vision in addition to the tactile sensation by the confirmation device or the like.

  As described above, the switch mechanism is simple in structure and can be manufactured at low cost, and has an effect that the operation can be easily and reliably performed in synchronization with the operation of fastening and releasing the screw. By using an electric supply mechanism having the switch mechanism, particularly in a liquid cosmetic container in which a heating mechanism is internally provided in the application part, the application part applies high-viscosity liquid cosmetics such as mascara. In this case, the liquid cosmetic can be applied easily and surely by reducing its viscosity appropriately and having extensibility, and the structure of the electric supply mechanism including the switch mechanism is simple. In addition, it is easy to manufacture, and since all of the heat generating mechanism is housed in the cap, it has an excellent effect that it does not impair the convenience of a liquid cosmetic container that requires a small diameter, a small size, and a sealed structure. It is what has. Furthermore, since various devices can be incorporated not only in the liquid cosmetic application body but also in liquid or simple cosmetic containers, it is possible to remarkably improve the convenience in the liquid cosmetic containers. Have the same effect.

Furthermore, the cap body (13) has a power source (12) such as an internal battery and a positive electrode plate (13a) having a U-shaped cross section that is in contact with and sandwiched between the positive and negative electrodes of the power source (12). And a power source part (14) composed of a negative electrode plate (13b) integrally forming a spring part (13b '') formed by pressing and holding the power source (12), and the positive and negative electrode plates (13a) (13b). The positive and negative electrode portions (13a ′) and (13b ′) serving as one end of the cap are provided so as to be exposed to the inner wall of the bottom surface of the engagement hole (13c) opened on the distal end side of the cap body (13) through the partition wall (13e). The positive and negative electrode portions (13a ′) and (13b ′) of the positive and negative electrode plates (13a) and (13b) exposed on the bottom inner walls of the engagement holes (13c) are the rear ends of the support shaft base portion (7 ′). When the support shaft base (7 ') is fitted and fixed to the inner cap (10). The flat positive and negative contact plates (7a) (7b) exposed also from the rear end side of the inner cap (10) are arranged so as to be in surface contact with each other, outside the engagement hole (13c). The wall surface serves as a gripping portion (13 ′), and the inner wall surface is provided with a locking rib (13c ′) serving as a locking body in the axial direction.
Then, the gripping portion (13 ′) of the cap body (13) is screwed into the outer periphery of the mouth portion (4) of the liquid cosmetic container (1) and the inner cap (10). ) Is rotated in a direction to release the threaded engagement with the female thread portion (6a) screwed on the inner wall on the front end side, the axial direction relative to the cap body (13), that is, the cap body (13) is moved to the inner cap. (10) Even if force is applied in the direction of extraction, the fitting groove (10d) provided around the tip of the inner cap (10) and the inner wall surface of the cap body (13) are projected. The locking rib (13c ′) provided on the inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) of the cap main body (13) is not pulled out by fitting with the circumferential rib (13f). Only the cap body (13) rotates over the short rib (10a) provided on the outer wall. Further contact with the major width ribs (10c) at the other position over the short width ribs (10b) of the opposite direction of rotation in the cap body (13) inside the cap (10) is engaged and fixed. At this time, the positive and negative electrode portions (13a ′) and (13b ′) of the positive and negative electrode plates (13a) and (13b) exposed on the bottom inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) and the rear end side of the support shaft base portion (7 ′) The flat positive and negative contact plates (7a) (7b) exposed and exposed from the rear end side of the inner cap (10) are positioned so as to be in surface contact with each other (see FIG. 5).
When the cap body (13) is further rotated in the same direction, the inner cap (10) is rotated in the same direction while being engaged and fixed to the cap body (13), and is screwed onto the inner wall on the front end side of the inner cap (10). The screw connection between the female screw part (6a) provided and the male screw part (4a) screwed on the outer periphery of the mouth part (4) of the liquid cosmetic container (1) is completely released, and the liquid cosmetic application The body (A) can be used.
On the other hand, the holding part (13 ′) of the cap body (13) is screwed into the outer periphery of the mouth part (4) of the liquid cosmetic container (1), and the inner cap (10). When the threaded engagement with the female thread portion (6a) threaded on the distal end side inner wall is rotated in the fastening direction, the locking body rib (13c) provided on the inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) of the cap body (13) ') Engages with the short-width rib (10b) provided on the outer wall of the inner cap (10), and the inner cap (10) rotates together with the cap body (13) in the direction of fastening the screw. And when it rotates to a certain extent, the plug packing (5) built in the inner cap (10) starts to be compressed by the tip of the mouth (4) of the liquid cosmetic container (1), so the liquid cosmetic container (1) Friction resistance between the male screw part (4a) screwed on the outer periphery of the mouth part (4) and the female screw part (6a) screwed on the inner wall on the front end side of the inner cap (10) is increased, The locking rib (13c ′) provided on the inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) gets over the short rib (10b) provided on the outer wall of the inner cap (10), and only the cap body (13) rotates. To come. Further, the cap body (13) and the inner cap (10) are engaged and fixed toward the rotation direction in contact with the long width rib (10c) at a position over the other short width rib (10a). . At this time, the positive and negative electrode portions (13a ′) and (13b ′) of the positive and negative electrode plates (13a) and (13b) exposed on the bottom inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) and the rear end side of the support shaft base portion (7 ′) The flat positive and negative contact plates (7a) and (7b) exposed from the rear end side of the inner cap (10) are positioned so as not to contact each other.
When the cap body (13) is further rotated in the same direction, the inner cap (10) is rotated in the same direction while being engaged and fixed to the cap body (13), and is screwed onto the inner wall on the front end side of the inner cap (10). The threaded engagement between the provided female screw (6a) and the male screw (4a) screwed on the outer periphery of the mouth (4) of the liquid cosmetic container (1) presses the plug packing (5). The liquid cosmetic container main body (2) and the cap (6) are completely integrated.
In this way, the inner cap (10) is configured so that the cap body (13) idles with respect to the inner cap (10) only at an interval where the long-width rib (10c) of the inner cap (10) is not provided. ) In the engagement hole (13c), and contact plates (7a) (7b) connected to the heater (9) housed in the application part (8) as the cap body (13) rotates. The positive and negative plates (13a ′) and (13B ′) connected to the power supply unit (12) serve as an electric supply mechanism (B) that can be freely cut.

  Furthermore, since the cap body (13) is idled within a certain range with respect to the inner cap (10) mounted in the engagement hole (13c), the engagement hole of the cap body (13). The positive and negative electrode portions (13a ′) and (13b ′) arranged in (13c) are accurate and reliable with respect to the positive and negative contact plates (7a) and (7b) protruding from the rear end of the inner cap (10). Some operation confirmation means may be provided so as to be able to come into contact. Therefore, for example, a window portion (13d) communicating from the inside of the engagement hole (13c) of the cap body (13) to the gripping portion (13 ′) side is formed, and a heater (9 in the application portion (8) is provided. When connecting the positive and negative contact plates (7a) and (7b) connected to the positive and negative electrodes (13a ′) and (13b ′) connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power source (12) housed in the cap body (13). Correspondingly, the display (11) is arranged on the outer periphery of the inner cap (10) mounted in the engagement hole (13c) of the cap body (13). For this reason, when rotating the cap body (13), the user passes the window (13d) drilled in the grip (13 ′) of the cap body (13) to the outer periphery of the inner cap (10). By visually recognizing the display (11) to be arranged, it is possible to accurately and reliably grasp the connection state of the power source (12) that supplies electricity to the heater (9) included in the application part (8).

Since the liquid cosmetic container (1) according to the first embodiment of the present invention has the above-described configuration, when the user uses the liquid cosmetic container (1), the liquid cosmetic container (1) is as follows.
First, when the user removes the cap (6) from the liquid cosmetic container (1), the cosmetic container main body (2) maintaining the hermeticity in the liquid cosmetic container (1) by the cap (6). In order to unscrew the male screw portion (4a) screwed on the outer periphery of the mouth portion (4) and the female screw portion (6a) screwed inside the inner cap (10), a cap ( 6) is rotated with respect to the cosmetic container body (2). At this time, in the cap (6), the support shaft (7) holding the application part (8) at the tip is attached integrally with the inner cap (10) at the rear end, and the inner cap (10) is attached. The cap body (13) is mounted so as to be rotatable within a certain range in the engagement hole (13c). That is, when the user holds and rotates the grip portion (13 ′) in order to remove the cap (6) from the cosmetic container body (2), it is provided on the inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) of the cap body (13). The locking rib (13c ′) thus moved over the short rib (10a) provided on the outer wall of the inner cap (10) and only the cap body (13) is rotated, and the other short rib ( It will abut on the long-width rib (10c) at a position over 10b). Therefore, the cap body (13) and the inner cap (10) are engaged and fixed in the rotational direction. That is, the cap body (13) rotates with respect to the inner cap (10) by an interval where the long rib (10c) is not provided. Moreover, the user feels resistance when the locking rib (13c ') gets over the short ribs (10a) (10b) provided on the outer wall of the inner cap (10). . As a result, the user connects the electric power supply mechanism (B) including the power source (12) for supplying electricity to the heater (9) provided in the coating part (8) with the resistance transmitted to the finger as a guide. The state can be grasped accurately and reliably.
When the cap body (13) and the inner cap (10) are engaged and fixed in the rotational direction, the positive and negative electrode portions (inside the engagement holes (13c) of the cap body (13) ( 13a ′) (13b ′) are in surface contact with the positive and negative contact plates (7a) and (7b), respectively, protruding rearward from the inner cap (10), and both are electrically connected. . As a result, the positive and negative electrode plates (13a) of the power supply unit (14) from the power supply (12) sandwiched by one ends of the positive and negative electrode plates (13a) and (13b) in the power supply unit (14) of the cap body (13). ) (13b) via the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrode portions (13a ') (13b') at the other end and the positive and negative contact plates (7a) (7b) protruding rearward from the inner cap (10). Then, electricity is supplied to the heater (9) provided in the coating part (8), the heater (9) generates heat, and the coating part (8) is warmed. Furthermore, when the application part (8) is warmed by the heater (9), the liquid cosmetic (2) adhering to or impregnating the application part (8) is also warmed at the same time. At this time, since the presence of the display (11) arranged on the outer periphery of the inner cap (10) can be visually recognized from the window (13d) of the cap body (13), the user can connect the heater (9) and the power source ( 12) The electrical connection with 12) can be accurately and reliably grasped.

And since the said locking body rib (13c ') is engaging with the long width rib (10c) provided in the outer wall of the inner cap (10) toward this rotation direction, as long as it rotates in the same direction. The cap body (13) rotates integrally with the inner cap (10) without idling. Therefore, when the user further rotates the cap (6), the cap body (13) rotates together with the inner cap (10) on which the support shaft (7) is integrally attached. In other words, the internal thread (6a) is threadedly engaged with the internal thread (6a) and the external thread (4a) threaded around the mouth (4) of the cosmetic container body (3). Acts and dissociates from each other. As a result, the male screw part (4a) of the mouth part (4) of the cosmetic container body (3) and the female screw part (6a) screwed inside the inner cap (10) are unscrewed. The cap (6) holding the application part (8) via the support shaft (7) can be detached from the cosmetic container body (3).
At this time, the application part (8) of the liquid cosmetic application body (A) that is already held by the cap (6) is appropriately warmed by the heater (9) built therein, and the application part (8). Similarly, the liquid cosmetic (2) adhering to or impregnating the liquid is indirectly warmed by the heat of the heater (9). For this reason, the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic (2) attached or impregnated on the application part (8) is also reduced, so that it will not adhere inadvertently. The cosmetic (2) can be applied.
Further, when the warmed liquid cosmetic (2) is applied to the candy, the temperature of the liquid cosmetic (2) rapidly decreases and its viscosity increases. By appropriately handling the wrinkles by the part (8), it is possible to give a moderate curl to the wrinkles.

On the other hand, after the user finishes applying the liquid cosmetic (2) such as mascara to the bag, the liquid cosmetic (2) in the cosmetic container body (3) leaks to the outside by the cap (6). In order to maintain hermeticity so that there is no such a problem, the cap (6) is put on the cosmetic container body (3) again. Therefore, with respect to the male screw part (4a) screwed on the outer periphery of the mouth part (4) of the cosmetic container body (3), the female screw part (6a) screwed on the inner circumference of the inner cap (10). The application part (8) held at the tip of the support shaft (7) to which the cap (6) is held is screwed into the cosmetic from the mouth part (4) of the cosmetic container body (3). After storing in a container main body (3), it tightens, rotating a cap (6) with respect to the opening | mouth part (4) of a cosmetics container main body (3). That is, when the user rotates the holding part (13 ′) to screw the cap (6) into the cosmetic container body (2), the inner wall of the engagement hole (13c) of the cap body (13).
