Here, the cross section of the gripping portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10 being flat may be a rectangle, an ellipse, or a flat circle, but the aspect ratio (ratio of major axis to minor axis) is 11:10 or more. Is preferably 6: 5 or more. Thereby, the request | requirement of thickness reduction of the cosmetic container 1A which accommodates the cosmetic applicator 10 can be met.

  In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the grip part of the cosmetic applicator accommodated in the cosmetic container of the present invention is not limited to a flat shape, and may be, for example, a perfect circle, a square, a triangle, or another polygon.

There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the formation material of the application bodies 12 and 13, For example, it can form from a sponge, the resin material which carried out the flocking process, a brush, etc. The applying bodies 12 and 13 may be made of different materials, or may be formed in different shapes and sizes.
Further, the application body may be formed only at one end of the grip portion 11.

  This cosmetic container 1 </ b> A has two cosmetic applicators 10 on the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 that accommodates two cosmetic applicators 10 in parallel and at two spaced locations in the grip 11. A plurality of pedestals 20A are provided so as to be supported. More specifically, it has a pair of bases 20A (20Aa, 20Ab) on which both ends of the straight rod-shaped gripping part 11 are placed. Here, the both end portions of the grip portion 11 are not limited to the extreme end portions on both sides of the straight rod-shaped grip portion 11. The cosmetic applicator 10 can be supported at two locations, and any portion that is close to both ends from the central portion of the grip portion 11 to the extent that a finger can be inserted between them can be used. Moreover, it is not restricted to two places, You may be supported by three places.

  By having the base 20 </ b> A (20 </ b> Aa, 20 </ b> Ab) on the bottom surface 6, the grip portion 11 is directly placed on the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 in a state where the cosmetic applicator 10 is accommodated in the applicator accommodation chamber 4. However, it is higher than the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4. Thereby, when taking out the cosmetic applicator 10 accommodated in the applicator accommodation chamber 4, a finger is inserted between the adjacent cosmetic applicators 10 and the finger is put on the grip 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10. It becomes easy. Further, since the applicators 12 and 13 are not in contact with the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 in a state where the cosmetic applicator 10 is accommodated in the applicator accommodation chamber 4, the applicators 12 and 13 to which the cosmetic is adhered are provided. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the applicator accommodation chamber 4 from becoming dirty.

  Each pedestal 20Aa, 20Ab has a partition portion 21 protruding between adjacent cosmetic applicators 10 supported by the pedestal. Therefore, according to this cosmetic container 1A, it is easy to put a finger in the gap between the adjacent cosmetic applicators 10 in the region sandwiched between the pair of bases 20Aa and 20Ab.

That is, as shown in FIG. 1B, the grip portion 11 of the adjacent cosmetic applicator 10 has a gap due to the pedestal 20 </ b> A having the partition portion 21, and the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4. Floating from. On the other hand, the partition part 21 does not exist in the region sandwiched between the pair of pedestals 20Aa and 20Ab, and the cosmetic applicator 10 can move between the inner peripheral wall of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 and the partition part 21. it can. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), in the region sandwiched between the pair of bases 20Aa and 20Ab, the cosmetic applicator 10 floats from the bottom surface 6, so that it is between the adjacent cosmetic applicators 10. You can put your finger deeply and further widen the gap. Therefore, it is possible to pick up the gripping part 11 and easily take out the cosmetic applicator 10 from the applicator storage chamber 4, and when the cosmetic applicator 10 is taken out, the hand 12 is carelessly applied. , 13 can be prevented from getting dirty.
In particular, when the width W1 of the partition portion 21 is 1 mm or more in the short direction of the applicator accommodation chamber 4, it becomes easy to put a finger between the adjacent cosmetic applicators 10, and in this case, from the partition portion 21 The difference between the distance W2 to the inner peripheral wall of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 and the width W0 of the gripping part 11 is preferably 3 mm to 30 mm. In addition, it is preferable that the height H1 from the bottom surface 6 of the placement surface of the cosmetic applicator 10 is 2 mm or more because it is easy to put a finger deeply.

This cosmetic container 1A is improved in ease of use also by the following configuration.
First, pedestals 20Aa and 20Ab are formed symmetrically with respect to a center line L1 that bisects the longitudinal direction of the applicator accommodating chamber 4. Thereby, it becomes easy to arrange | position the holding part 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10 in the longitudinal direction center of the applicator accommodation chamber 4, and it becomes easy to accommodate the cosmetic applicator 10 in the applicator accommodation chamber 4 reliably.

  Second, the pair of pedestals 20Aa and 20Ab are arranged in parallel. As a result, the cosmetic applicator 10 can be easily placed on the bases 20Aa and 20Ab, and the space for putting a finger becomes uniform in each applicator, making it easier to pick.

  3rdly, in each base 20Aa and 20Ab, the surface which supports the cosmetic applicator 10 is flat. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the finger is put between the adjacent cosmetic applicators 10 to pick up the grip portion 11, the cross section of the grip portion 11 is elliptical or flat. If it is, as shown with the broken line, the holding part 11 can be inclined and it can be made easy to pick.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), a slope is provided on the side wall of the applicator accommodation chamber, and the gripping portion of the cosmetic applicator is placed directly on the bottom surface of the applicator accommodation chamber ( Since the finger does not enter under the gripping part 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10, the gripping part 11 is difficult to move, and even if the gripping part 11 is pulled in the direction of the arrow with the finger, the gripping part 11 is inclined. It hits 23 and gets caught there, making it difficult to take out the cosmetic applicator 10.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, when a pair of rib-shaped pedestals 20 </ b> X having no partition portion are provided on the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 (see Patent Document 2), two applicator accommodation chambers 4 are provided. A large shakiness occurs in the cosmetic applicator 10. In some cases, the two cosmetic applicators 10 are biased to one side in the applicator accommodation chamber 4, making it difficult to put a finger between the two cosmetic applicators 10. On the other hand, in order to suppress rattling of the cosmetic applicator 10, the width of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 in the short direction may be narrowed. It becomes difficult to put your finger in the.

  As a material for forming the pedestal 20A, synthetic resins such as polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, AS resin, ABS resin, and the like can be given.

The present invention can take various forms.
For example, in the cosmetic 1A described above, the pedestal 20A may be formed integrally with the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 of the container main body 2, or formed as a separate member from the container main body 2, and the applicator accommodation chamber. 4 may be fixed to the bottom surface 6 of the container 4, and the base 20B may be detachable from the container body 2. For example, like the cosmetic container 1B shown in FIG. 3, the pedestal 20B is applied simply by providing the pedestal 20B on the plate 24 by integral molding or the like and inserting the plate 24 into the applicator accommodation chamber 4 and placing it. It can be arranged at a predetermined position in the tool storage chamber 4. In this case, it is preferable that the plate 24 has substantially the same shape and size as the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4. The plate 24 provided with the base 20 </ b> B may be temporarily fixed to the bottom surface of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 with an adhesive or the like in order to make it difficult to come off.

  If the base 20B is detachable, when changing the shape and dimensions of the cosmetic applicator 10 stored in the applicator storage chamber 4, it is possible to cope with the change of the base 20B without changing the container body 2. This is preferable because it becomes possible. In addition, making the pedestal 20B detachable allows the applicator accommodation chamber 4 and the pedestal 20B to be washed, or changes the appearance and impression of the cosmetic container 1B by changing the color of the pedestal 20B. This is also preferable. When changing the color, the visibility of the cosmetic applicator 10 or the grip portion 11 is improved by making the color of the base 20B different from the color of the cosmetic applicator 10 or the grip portion 11 thereof. In addition, the pedestal 20B can be removed and used according to the user's preference.

  The cosmetic container 1C shown in FIG. 4 includes a height (that is, a position in the vertical direction) of the support surface 22 on which the first cosmetic applicator 10a is supported and a second position on the pair of bases 20C (20Ca, 20Cb). The height of the support surface 22b on which the cosmetic applicator 10b is supported is different. Thereby, in the region sandwiched between the pair of pedestals 20Ca and 20Cb, there is a gap formed between the grip portion 11 of the first cosmetic applicator 10a and the grip portion 11 of the second cosmetic applicator 10b. It becomes wider and it becomes easier to put a finger in this gap.

  Since the user of the cosmetic container 1C normally holds the cosmetic container with the applicator storage chamber 4 of the cosmetic applicator facing the front of the cosmetic storage chamber 3 rather than the cosmetic storage chamber 3 when applying the cosmetic. When the height of the support surface 22a of the first cosmetic applicator 10a is different from the height of the support surface 22b of the second cosmetic applicator 10b, the support surface 22a on the peripheral wall side of the cosmetic container 1C is used as the cosmetic. It is preferable that the height is lower than the support surface 22b on the storage chamber 3 side. This makes it easier for the user to see the gap formed between the gripping part 11 of the first cosmetic applicator 10a and the gripping part 11 of the second cosmetic applicator 10b.

  The cosmetic container 1D in FIG. 5 supports the holding portion 11 of the second cosmetic applicator 10b with a distance of a pair of bases 20D (20Da, 20Db) from the cosmetic container 1C shown in FIG. This is narrowed at the portion of the supporting surface 22b.

  Thus, in each base 20Da, 20Db, the longitudinal position of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 between the support surface 22a of the first cosmetic applicator 10a and the support surface 22b of the second cosmetic applicator 10b is shifted. Alternatively, depending on the shape of the cosmetic applicator, the applicator of the support surface 22a of the first cosmetic applicator 10a and the support surface 22b of the second cosmetic applicator 10b is similarly provided on at least one base. By shifting the position of the storage chamber 4 in the longitudinal direction, the support position of each cosmetic applicator stored in the applicator storage chamber 4 can be optimized.

  The cosmetic container 1E of FIG. 6 separates the pedestal 20Ea from the cosmetic container 1D shown in FIG. 5 into two parts, a part having the support surface 22a and a part having the support surface 22b. Is. That is, the pedestal 20 </ b> Ea is separated into two parts by separating the pedestal 20 </ b> Ea in the partition portion 21 in the longitudinal direction of the applicator accommodation chamber 4. Thus, in the present invention, it is not always necessary to provide a pair of pedestals.

  The cosmetic container 1F in FIG. 7 has a cross-sectional shape in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the gripping part 11 as shown in FIG. The ridge line where the adjacent support surfaces 22 come into contact with each other is defined as the partition portion 21. In this case, the degree of curvature of the adjacent support surfaces 22 may be varied. By curving the support surface 22 of the cosmetic applicator, the fit of the grip portion 11 can be improved. Further, by curving the support surface 22 of the gripping portion downward, the gripping portion 11 tilts when the gripping portion 11 is slid along the curved support surface 22 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. Therefore, it becomes easy to pick up the grip portion 11.

Further, the cosmetic container 1G shown in FIG. 8 has the lowermost portion of the curved support surface 22 biased toward the peripheral wall portion of the applicator accommodating chamber 4 with respect to the cosmetic container 1F shown in FIG. This is similar to the cosmetic container 1F shown in FIG.
Thereby, the gap formed between the grip portion 11 of the first cosmetic applicator 10a and the grip portion 11 of the second cosmetic applicator 10b becomes wider, and it is further possible to put a finger into this gap. It becomes easy.

The various aspects described above can be modified or combined as appropriate.
For example, in the aspect of FIG. 1, the support surface of the base on which the cosmetic applicator on the button 7 side is placed may be curved as in the aspect shown in FIG.
Moreover, you may form three or more support surfaces in each base so that three or more cosmetics application tools may be accommodated in the applicator accommodation chamber of the cosmetic container.
Further, the pedestals may not be parallel to each other, but may be arranged in a letter C or a reverse letter C, and the distance between the pedestals may be adjusted.

  Cosmetics are not limited to the compact case type. For example, an applicator accommodation chamber for a cosmetic applicator such as a spatula may be provided in the inner lid of the jar container, and a base used by the present invention may be provided in the applicator accommodation chamber.
