Cosmetic material is filled in the refill container body 6. As a cosmetic, unlike a powder cosmetic, a solid cosmetic P having a hard and brittle property that can be crushed into small pieces when an impact or the like is applied is targeted. The solid cosmetic P filled in the refill container main body 6 is attached to the cosmetics to be rubbed through the opening 5 of the refill container main body 6.

  The lid 7 is formed of a synthetic resin material, and a hinge block 23 provided at the left end thereof is a second portion between a pair of left and right hinge pieces 24 provided on the upper outer side of the left wall 6e of the refill container body 6. By being connected via the hinge pin 20, the refill container body 6 is rotatably connected to cover the opening 5. The lid body 7 is provided with a collar portion 25a protruding rightward at the right end portion thereof, and a claw piece 25b is formed by hanging down integrally from the collar portion 25a. The claw piece 25b is provided with a locking projection 26 protruding toward the right side wall portion 6d of the refill container body 6, and the lid body is formed by the locking projection 26 and a locking groove 27 formed on the right side wall portion 6d. A locking portion 9 is configured to detachably lock 7 to the refill container body 6. The lid 7 is locked to the refill container body 6 by the locking protrusions 26 being locked in the locking grooves 27. The lid 7 is closed by pressing the right end of the lid 7 downward from above to lock the locking portion 9, and the lid 7a is lifted upward with a finger attached to the collar 25a. The stop is released and released.

  When the refill container 8 is stored in the storage portion 2, a hinge piece 24 connected to the hinge block 23 is stored in the cutout portion 19 of the container body 4, and the flange portion 25 a of the lid body 7 is stored in the recess portion 22 of the container body 4. Is stored. The lid 7 is formed with a window 10 that faces the opening 5 of the refill container main body 6 and opens larger than the inner diameter of the opening 5.

  A mesh-shaped cover 11 is stretched over the window 10. The mesh cover 11 is attached to the lid 7 so as to cover the window portion 10 by insert molding or by an adhesive or the like. The mesh cover 11 is formed of a synthetic resin material having a stretchable elasticity. Specifically, for example, a cloth-like material knitted in a mesh shape so as to stretch and shrink ultrafine fibers is used. Thin synthetic fiber materials used for female stockings are preferred. This type of material has an elastic property that when it is released from the stretched and stretched state, it shrinks and restores to its original state. The size of the mesh is in the order of microns to millimeters so as to prevent the passage of the strip. The mesh cover 11 may be formed such that the shape of the formed mesh becomes irregular and the mesh size becomes finer, for example, by double-folding the cloth-like material forming the mesh cover 11. The mesh cover 11 may be a porous rubber sheet.

  The mesh-shaped cover 11 is fixed to the lid body 7 in a tensioned state with an appropriate tension applied. The mesh cover 11 is provided so as to extend into the refill container body 6 so as to cover the entire opening 5 of the refill container body 6 when the lid 7 is closed.

  Next, the operation of the compact container 1 according to this embodiment will be described. In manufacturing, the mesh cover 11 is attached to the window portion 10 of the lid body 7 in advance. On the other hand, the refill container main body 6 is filled with the solid cosmetic P, the lid body 7 is attached to the refill container main body 6 with the second hinge pin, and the refill container 8 is completed. The container 8 is stored in the storage unit 2 of the container body 4. In use, the outer lid 3 is opened, and the cosmetic tool is rubbed from above the mesh cover 11. Thereby, the solid cosmetic P in the refill container 8 can be attached to the cosmetic.

  In this embodiment, since the cover 7 is locked to the refill container body 6 so that the mesh cover 11 can cover the opening 5, an impact is applied when the compact container 1 is dropped. For example, even if the solid cosmetic P is crushed and broken into pieces, these pieces can be prevented from scattering. Further, the crushed pieces can be held in the refill container body 6 as they are. Since the mesh-shaped cover 11 has a stretchability that extends toward the inside of the refill container main body 6, even if the solid cosmetic P is fragmented, it is appropriately attached by rubbing the cosmetics on the mesh-shaped cover 11. The solid cosmetic P can be used without waste.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the cover body 7 is attached to the refill container main body 6 so that opening and closing is possible, not only the solid cosmetic P is attached to the cosmetics via the mesh cover 11, but also the locking portion. When it is desired to increase the amount of the solid cosmetic P to be adhered to the cosmetic by removing the 9 and opening the lid 7 and directly adhering the solid cosmetic P to the cosmetic without passing through the mesh cover 11. The amount of adhesion can be adjusted, so that it can be flexibly adapted to the way of makeup. Similarly, by opening the lid 7, the solid cosmetic P remaining in every corner inside the refill container body 6 can be used without waste. When the use is finished, the lid 7 is closed and the outer lid 3 is further closed.

  Of course, even when the lid 7 is in a closed state, the mesh cover 11 is stretchable, so that the mesh cover 11 is stretched when a cosmetic tool is pressed against the corner inside the refill container body 6. The cosmetics can be rubbed to various extents, and the solid cosmetic P can be used without waste. Further, when the pressed cosmetic tool is separated from the mesh cover 11, the mesh cover 11 contracts and returns to its original state, and the appearance around the opening 5 of the refill container body 6 can be maintained beautifully.

  Further, since the mesh cover 11 is attached to the refill container 8 without being attached to the container main body 4, when the refill container 8 is replaced, the mesh cover 11 is inevitably replaced with a new one. For this reason, the old cosmetic material does not remain in the mesh cover 11 and can always be kept fresh and clean, and even if it is used continuously for many years, the mesh cover 11 is made of cosmetic material. There are few problems such as clogging and good usability. In addition, since the lid body 7 is opened to the left of the container body 4, the lid body 7 does not interfere with the mirror 12 of the outer lid 3 opened to the rear of the container body 4, and the mesh-like cover of the lid body 7 It is possible to prevent the cosmetic material adhering to 11 from being scattered and the mirror 12 from becoming dirty, and the mirror 12 can be seen without obstructing the lid 7 when applying makeup.
