Description

  The present invention relates to a wide-mouth container that can contain liquid or powder-like contents and can take them out little by little and use them.

  As a wide-mouthed container that accommodates powder-like contents and uses the contents little by little, for example, a mesh frame that elastically moves up and down via elastic legs is provided in the opening of the container body, and the container body There is known a powder container in which a puff is pressed against the mesh frame from above the opening to take out the inner cosmetic powder little by little (see Patent Document 1).

  However, as described above, when the puff is pressed against the mesh frame and the inner cosmetic powder is taken out, an excessive force is applied to the mesh frame during the pressing, and the mesh frame is tilted or the mesh is detached from the frame and broken. There is a risk of

  Therefore, as a method of elastically and stably supporting the mesh frame, a cylindrical body made of an elastic body such as a sponge is inserted into the container body, and the mesh frame is supported by the cylindrical elastic body. Some have been proposed (see Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the cosmetic container of Patent Document 2 includes a container body 1 that houses a gel cosmetic 10, an elastic member 2 that is provided along the inner wall of the container body 1, And a mesh frame 4 mounted on the elastic member 2 and having a mesh 3 attached thereto. Reference numeral 5 denotes an inner lid that covers the opening of the container body 1, and reference numeral 6 denotes a lid that covers the upper surface thereof.

  According to this cosmetic container, the elastic member 2 that supports the mesh frame 4 has a cylindrical shape along the inner wall of the container main body 1 as shown in FIG. In order to elastically support the mesh frame 4, as shown in FIG. 7C, when the puff 7 is pressed downward from the top of the mesh 3, the container body 1 is not subjected to much load on the mesh 3. The inner gel-like cosmetic 10 can be soaked into the puff 7 side.

  As described above, the use of the cylindrical elastic member 2 to reduce the burden on the mesh 3 has the advantage that the mesh 3 is not easily damaged. However, depending on the pushing operation of the puff 7, the mesh 3 may be elastic. The gel cosmetic 10 may be soaked deeply in the gel cosmetic 10 together with the member 2, and the gel cosmetic 10 may overflow on the eyes of the mesh 3, and an excessive amount of the gel cosmetic 10 may stick to the pressed puff 7. In this case, the puff 7 must be applied to the opening edge of the container body 1 to drain the liquid, which is inconvenient. Moreover, the opening edge of the container main body 1 and its periphery are easily stained with the gel cosmetics 10. Furthermore, there is a problem that the puff 7 is easily caught or caught in the mesh 3 and easily damaged over time. These problems are the same when the contents are powdery or the like.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an excellent wide-mouthed container that can uniformly take out the contents little by little and is easy to use.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container body having a recess for containing contents, and a cylindrical shape having an outer peripheral surface that fits into the recess of the container body and extends along the inner wall surface of the recess. A wide-mouth container comprising a porous elastic body, an inner lid placed on the upper surface of the cylindrical porous elastic body, and a lid body that covers the upper surface of the container main body, the inner lid comprising: A pair of upper and lower annular frames having rigidity, and a substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body sandwiched between the pair of upper and lower annular frames. And having an engaging portion that engages with each other in a state of being overlapped vertically with an open-cell porous elastic body sandwiched therebetween, the annular frame disposed on the lower side of the annular frame is directed downward from the inner peripheral edge thereof A cylindrical guide wall extending into the inside of the cylindrical porous elastic body, and Via an open cell pair of annular frame body sandwiched a substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body, a wide mouth container which is adapted to the contents is taken out from the recess to the first aspect.

  In addition, the present invention includes a container in which the peripheral edge of the substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body protrudes outside the peripheral edges of the pair of upper and lower annular frames, particularly in the inner lid. A wide-mouth container adapted to be in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion of the main body is a second gist.

  Furthermore, the present invention is such that the height H of the guide wall extending downward from the inner peripheral edge of the annular frame disposed on the lower side, particularly in the inner lid, is set to 1 to 8 mm. The wide-mouthed container made into 3rd summary.

  And the present invention makes the 4th gist the wide mouthed container whose above-mentioned cylindrical porous elastic body is a closed-cell porous elastic body especially among them.

In addition, among the above, the fifth aspect of the present invention is a wide-mouth container in which the substantially plate-like open cell porous elastic body is any one of a dry urethane sponge, a wet urethane sponge, and a latex sponge, Among these, in particular, the substantially plate-like open cell porous elastic body is a dry urethane sponge, its apparent density is 20 to 50 kg / m ³ , its elongation is 80% or more, and its number of cells is 10 to 70. The sixth aspect is a wide-mouth container having a size of 25 mm.

  In the present invention, the term “substantially plate-like” means that the plate is substantially plate-like, has a substantially plate-like shape and has a partially different thickness, or is curved even if the thickness is the same. It is intended to include things.

  That is, in the wide-mouthed container of the present invention, a cylindrical porous elastic body along the inner wall surface of the concave portion is fitted in the concave portion of the container main body, and an inner lid disposed in the opening of the concave portion, It is composed of a substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body and a pair of upper and lower annular frames that are detachably engaged with each other with the substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body sandwiched between the upper and lower sides. It has the feature of being. And the contents are taken out from the inside of the recess via the open cell of the substantially plate-like open cell porous elastic body.

  According to this configuration, the substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body is an elastic body having a shape-retaining property itself, and a large number of open-cells distributed therein are fluid liquid, powder, etc. Therefore, it is convenient to take out the contents little by little uniformly through the open bubbles.

  Moreover, since the substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body is held in a state where the peripheral edge portion is sandwiched between a pair of upper and lower annular frames, even if the open-cell porous elastic body is pressed deeply, The positions of the upper and lower annular frames are lowered in a state where the cylindrical porous elastic body is pressed evenly in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the open-cell porous elastic body does not tilt and fall into the recess, and can be used repeatedly and favorably.

  And since many contents can be contained in the open cells of the open cell porous elastic body, even if it is pushed deeply, the content is placed on the surface side of the open cell porous elastic body like a conventional mesh. Will not overflow and accumulate, and more contents than necessary will not stick to the puff.

  Furthermore, even when the amount of the contents is reduced and only a little at the bottom in the recess, the open-cell porous elastic body supported by the cylindrical porous elastic body is greatly elastically deformed, Since the object can be taken into the continuous bubbles, the contents can be used up to the end without waste.

  And even if such elastic deformation is repeated, the open-cell porous elastic body itself is not easily deformed and does not break, and the upper surface of the cylindrical porous elastic body with cushioning properties It can be used satisfactorily over a long period of time in combination with being placed on. In terms of cost, it is more economical than conventional meshes and has the advantage of high versatility.

  Moreover, in the inner lid used in the present invention, of the pair of upper and lower annular frames that sandwich the open-cell porous elastic body, the annular frame disposed on the lower side is a cylindrical porous elastic body in the recess. This guide wall effectively prevents the cylindrical porous elastic body from tilting inward and falling down during deformation. Therefore, the movement of the entire inner lid becomes even smoother.

  In addition, this guide wall also has an effect that the contents in the recess are less likely to leak laterally from between the lower surface of the lower annular frame and the upper surface of the cylindrical porous elastic body. And the peripheral part of the open-cell porous elastic body which becomes the passage of the contents is sandwiched between the pair of upper and lower annular frames and the open-cell is crushed, and the inner lid and the cylinder The peripheral edge of the porous elastic body is not easily soiled, and as a whole, the periphery of the recess can be maintained in a clean state for a long time.

  Among the wide-mouthed containers of the present invention, in particular, in the inner lid, the peripheral edge of the substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body protrudes outside the peripheral edge of the pair of upper and lower annular frames, The one that comes into pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion of the container body moves while the peripheral edge of the substantially plate-like open-cell porous elastic body is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion of the container main body. For this reason, the posture of the open-cell porous elastic body in the recess is more stable.

  Among the wide-mouth containers of the present invention, the height H of the guide wall that extends downward from the inner peripheral edge of the annular frame disposed on the lower side, particularly in the inner lid, is set to 1 to 8 mm. What has been used is preferable because it is more excellent in the effect of preventing the cylindrical porous elastic body from falling into the inside and the effect of preventing leakage of the contents to the side.

  Furthermore, among the wide-mouthed containers of the present invention, in particular, when the cylindrical porous elastic body is a closed-cell porous elastic body, the contents enter the cylindrical porous elastic body. Therefore, the space between the cylindrical porous elastic body and the inner wall surface of the recess is not easily contaminated with the contents, and the appearance is better.

Among the wide-mouth containers of the present invention, in particular, the open-cell porous elastic body is any one of a dry urethane sponge, a wet urethane sponge, and a latex sponge, and among them, in particular, the open-cell porous material. The elastic material is a dry urethane sponge, the apparent density is 20-50 kg / m ³ , the elongation is 80% or more, and the number of cells is 10-70 / 25 mm. It can be taken out evenly and is easy to use.

It is.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

  FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of the wide-mouth container of the present invention. This wide-mouthed container is a jar-type container having a relatively short height for containing the viscous liquid cosmetic 11 (see FIG. 2) such as a liquid foundation. And the container main body 13 which has the recessed part 12 for accommodating the liquid cosmetics 11, and the cylindrical porous elastic body (henceforth a "tubular elastic body") 14 inserted in this recessed part 12 are provided. Yes. A substantially disc-shaped inner lid 15 is disposed on the upper surface of the cylindrical elastic body 14 in the opening of the recess 12.

  More specifically, the container body 13 is made of a substantially bottomed cylindrical injection-molded product, and the inside thereof is a recess 12 that accommodates the liquid cosmetic material 11. As shown in FIG. 2, a male thread portion 17 for threading engagement with the lid body 16 is formed in the upper portion of the peripheral wall 18 of the container body 13. Moreover, the outer cylinder wall 19 is provided in the lower part of the said external thread part 17 from the point of reinforcement and appearance of the container main body 13, and it is a double wall.

  A cylindrical elastic body 14 is fitted along the inner wall surface of the container body 13. The cylindrical elastic body 14 has a cylindrical shape with a cylindrical wall thickness of 5 mm, and is formed of polyurethane foam in which closed cells are dispersedly formed. As shown in FIG. 2, the height of the cylindrical elastic body 14 is set so that the liquid cosmetic 11 is higher than the liquid level when the liquid cosmetic 11 is full. Therefore, the liquid cosmetic 11 accommodated in the recess 12 is substantially accommodated in the hollow portion inside the cylindrical elastic body 14.

  The inner lid 15 disposed on the upper surface of the cylindrical elastic body 14 includes a plan view of FIG. 3A, a front view of FIG. 3B, and a bottom view of FIG. ), A pair of upper and lower annular frames (hereinafter, the upper one is called “annular upper frame 15a” and the lower one is called “annular lower frame 15b”), It is comprised with the disk-shaped open-cell porous elastic body (henceforth "disk-shaped elastic body") 15c pinched (refer FIG. 2).

  The annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b are both made of an injection molded product of polypropylene so that they can be detachably engaged with each other with the disk-like elastic body 15c sandwiched between them. It has become.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (a), the annular upper frame 15a is formed by extending the annular horizontal surface portion 21 and the inner and outer peripheral edges of the horizontal surface portion 21 downward. And flange portions 22 and 23. These flange portions 22 and 23 increase the rigidity of the horizontal surface portion 21 and improve the shape retention of the entire annular upper frame 15a.

  Then, six engaging projections 24 protruding downward are evenly provided on the lower surface of the horizontal surface portion 21 in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 4, which shows an enlarged portion surrounded by a chain line P in FIG. 2, the distal end portions of these engaging protrusions 24 are larger in diameter than the root portion, and the distal end surface of the enlarged diameter portion 24a. Is partially spherical.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIGS. 3B and 3C, the annular lower frame body 15b has an annular horizontal surface portion 25 and a cylindrical shape extending downward from the inner peripheral edge of the horizontal surface portion 25. The guide wall 26 is provided. The outer peripheral surface of the guide wall 26 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical elastic body 14 fitted in the recess 12 of the container body 13. The horizontal surface portion 25 is provided with six through-holes 27 for engaging with the six engaging protrusions 24 of the annular upper frame body 15a evenly in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the opening edge of these through holes 27 is provided with a reduced diameter portion 27a for engaging with the engaging protrusion 24 on the annular upper frame 15a side.

  The disk-like elastic body 15c sandwiched between the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b is obtained by punching a foamed polyurethane sheet (open cell type) having a thickness of 5 mm into a disk shape. . The outer diameter of the disk-like elastic body 15c is set to be the same as the outer diameters of the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b, and these outer diameters are porous elastic bodies below it. It is set substantially the same as the body 14.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a packing 20 that prevents liquid leakage is affixed to the lid 16 that covers the upper surface of the container body 13 from above the inner lid 15. The packing 20 is a punched molded product of a foamed polyethylene sheet having a thickness of 1 mm. When the lid body 16 is screwed into the container body 13 and tightened, the packing 20 comes into close contact with the upper end surface of the container body 13. The liquid-tightness is improved.

  The wide-mouth container can be used, for example, as follows. That is, first, the lid body 16 is opened, and the inner lid 15 disposed at the upper part in the opening of the container body 13 is exposed. Then, the center side of the disk-like elastic body 15c of the inner lid 15 is pushed downward with a puff or the like, and the liquid cosmetic 11 in the recess 12 is taken into the continuous bubbles of the disk-like elastic body 15c. This time, the disk-like elastic body 15c can be lightly tapped with a puff or the like, and a necessary amount of the liquid cosmetic 11 can be held in the puff or the like for use in makeup.

  Thus, according to the wide-mouthed container, the disc-like elastic body 15c provided in the inner lid 15 is an elastic body having a shape-retaining property itself, and a large number of open cells distributed in the inside thereof are Since it becomes the way of the liquid cosmetic 11, the liquid cosmetic 11 can be taken out gradually little by little through this open cell.

  Further, even if the amount of the liquid cosmetic 11 is reduced and the disc-like elastic body 15c pushed into the recess 12 does not reach the liquid cosmetic 11 in the recess 12 sufficiently, the pushing operation and the releasing operation are performed. The elastic deformation of the accompanying disc-shaped elastic body 15c causes the liquid cosmetic 11 to be taken in as if it was sucked into the continuous bubbles, so that the liquid cosmetic 11 can be used up to the end without waste.

  Even if such elastic deformation is repeated, the disc-like elastic body 15c is guided by the annular frame and is placed on the cylindrical elastic body 14 having a cushioning property in a stable state. It can be used repeatedly and without losing its shape or tearing. In terms of cost, it is more economical than a conventionally used mesh [see FIG. 7 (a)] and has the advantage of high versatility.

  In addition, in the inner lid 15, the cylindrical guide wall 26 provided on the lower annular lower frame body 15 b among the annular frame bodies that sandwich the disk-shaped elastic body 15 c is formed by the cylindrical elastic body 14. It has entered into the inside and effectively prevents the cylindrical elastic body 14 from inclining and falling down during deformation. Therefore, the movement when the entire inner lid 15 moves up and down becomes very smooth.

  The guide wall 26 also has an effect of preventing the liquid cosmetic 11 from leaking sideways from between the lower surface of the annular lower frame body 15 b and the upper surface of the cylindrical elastic body 14. And the peripheral part of the disk-shaped elastic body 15c used as the passage of the liquid cosmetic 11 is pinched between the cyclic | annular upper frame 15a and the cyclic | annular lower frame 15b, and it is in the state where the open cell was crushed. In combination, the inner lid 15 and the peripheral edge of the cylindrical elastic body 14 are less likely to get dirty, and as a whole, the periphery of the recess 12 can be maintained in a clean and long state.

  In addition, it is preferable from the point of an effect that the height H (refer FIG. 2) of the said guide wall 26 is set to 1-8 mm, and 2-5 mm is more preferable. That is, if the height H of the guide wall 26 is smaller than the above range, the guide function for the cylindrical elastic body 14 may be insufficient. Conversely, if the height H is larger than the above range, the guide wall 26 This is because there is a possibility that it becomes bulky and the usability may deteriorate.

  Furthermore, in this invention, if the cylindrical elastic body 14 inserted in the container main body 13 has an outer peripheral surface along the inner wall face of the recessed part 12 of the container main body 13, it is a closed-cell porous elastic body. Alternatively, an open-cell porous elastic body may be used. However, the closed-cell porous elastic body is more convenient in the container body 13 because the liquid cosmetic 11 does not leak around the recess 12 through the cylindrical elastic body 14.

  As the material of the cylindrical elastic body 14, a material that does not change even when it comes into contact with the contents such as the liquid cosmetic 11 and does not lose elasticity even when repeatedly compressed is preferably used. Specifically, dry urethane sponge (polyester type) made mainly of polyurethane, wet urethane sponge (polyester type, polyether type) also made of polyurethane, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) latex, natural rubber (NR) ) Latex, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex, isoprene rubber (IR) latex, latex sponge such as chloroprene rubber (CR) latex as the main raw material. Among these, dry urethane sponge is preferable from the viewpoint of cell size selectability, chemical resistance, and the like.

Among the above-mentioned dry urethane sponges, in particular, those having the characteristics of an apparent density of 15 to 90 kg / m ³ , an elongation of 70% or more, and the number of cells of 10 to 70/25 mm are particularly excellent cushions. This is suitable. Incidentally, examples of commercially available products having such characteristics include Color Foam EMM (manufactured by Inoac Corporation) and Maltoprene SF (manufactured by Inoac Corporation).

  In the present invention, the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b of the inner lid 15 do not need to be polypropylene injection-molded products as in the above example, and various resin molded products are used. Can do. However, it is desirable that the resin material of the resin molded product is a material that does not change or deteriorate in contact with the liquid cosmetic 11 or the like that is the content. Moreover, it is not limited to a resin molded product as long as it has a certain rigidity and can be molded. For example, stainless steel and various ceramic molded products may be used.

  The rigidity of the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b depends on the engagement structure between them, the material of the disk-like elastic body 15c, the material of the cylindrical elastic body 14 on which the inner lid 15 is placed, and the like. Thus, the rigidity is set appropriately. That is, the disk-like elastic bodies 15c can be engaged with each other while being sandwiched, and in use, even if the disk-like elastic bodies 15c are repeatedly pressed downward to expand and contract, the above-mentioned engagement is disengaged or the overall shape is reduced. It is desirable to have rigidity to such an extent that does not deform or break.

  On the other hand, the disc-like elastic body 15c sandwiched between the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b has open cells and is altered even when it comes into contact with the contents such as the liquid cosmetic 11 or the like. In addition, those that do not lose their elasticity even when repeatedly compressed are preferably used. Specifically, dry urethane sponge (polyester type) made mainly of polyurethane, wet urethane sponge (polyester type, polyether type) also made of polyurethane, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) latex, natural rubber (NR) ) Latex, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex, isoprene rubber (IR) latex, latex sponge such as chloroprene rubber (CR) latex as the main raw material. Among these, dry urethane sponge is preferable from the viewpoint of cell size selectability, chemical resistance, and the like.

Among the above-mentioned dry urethane sponges, in particular, those having the characteristics of an apparent density of 20 to 50 kg / m ³ , an elongation of 80% or more, and a number of cells of 10 to 70/25 mm are particularly liquid makeup. It is suitable because it is excellent in the power to take in the contents such as the material 11 and the action of adhering the taken-in contents to the puff or the like when the compression is released. Incidentally, as a commercial product of dry urethane sponge having such characteristics, there are Malt filter MF-20 (manufactured by Inoac Corporation), Malt filter CFH-30 (manufactured by Inoac Corporation), and the like.

  In addition, the thickness (indicated by T in FIG. 2) of the disk-like elastic body 15c is appropriately set according to the size of the container, the material of the liquid cosmetic 11, and the like. Considering the ease of the operation of taking out the liquid cosmetic 11 from the inside, it is preferable to set it to 1 to 20 mm, especially about 2 to 5 mm. That is, if the thickness of the disk-shaped elastic body 15c is too thin, the elastic deformation of the disk-shaped elastic body 15c may be poor and the usability may be deteriorated. Conversely, if it is too thick, it is difficult to take out the contents. In addition, the container becomes too bulky, which is not preferable.

  Furthermore, the disk-like elastic body 15c does not have to be a disk having a uniform thickness as a whole, and may be in a swelled shape with a thickness increasing toward the center, for example. The bulged portion may be upward or downward, but it is preferable in terms of usability to have a shape bulging downward from the opening of the annular lower frame 15b.

  In the above example, the outer diameter of the disk-shaped elastic body 15c is set to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b to which the disk-shaped elastic body 15c is attached. The outer peripheral diameter of the disk-shaped elastic body 15c may be set to protrude laterally from the outer peripheral surfaces of the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b. An example thereof is shown in FIG. 5 as a partial cross-sectional view.

  In FIG. 5, the portion of the disk-like elastic body 15c that protrudes to the side is shown to overlap the inner peripheral surface of the recess 12, but in reality, the protruding edge of the disk-like elastic body 15c is Then, it comes into pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the recess 12. Therefore, according to this configuration, when the disc-shaped elastic body 15 c of the inner lid 15 is pushed downward to take out the liquid cosmetic 11, the inner lid 15 moves up and down in a stable state along the inner peripheral surface of the recess 12. Has the advantage of A plan view of the inner lid 15 is shown in FIG. 6A, and a front view thereof is shown in FIG.

  In the above example, as shown in FIG. 3, in the inner lid 15, the projection 24 for engagement is provided on the lower surface of the annular upper frame body 15a, and the through hole 27 that engages with these is provided in the annular lower frame body 15b. Although provided, the engagement means of the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b is not limited to this, and if both are detachably engaged with the disc-like elastic body 15c interposed therebetween, in particular It is not limited. For example, the through hole 27 may be provided in the horizontal plane portion 21 of the annular upper frame body 15a, and the engaging protrusion 24 protruding upward may be provided on the upper surface of the annular lower frame body 15b. In that case, instead of the through-hole 27, a cylindrical portion that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the annular upper frame 15a is formed, and a reduced diameter portion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion, and the engaging projection 24 is engaged. You may make it match.

  Further, a plurality of engaging protrusions 24 and through holes 27 are not provided uniformly in the circumferential direction, but an annular ridge extending along the frame is provided in one frame, and the other frame is provided in the other frame. Further, an annular concave strip extending along the frame body may be provided and engaged with each other.

  In the wide-mouthed container of the present invention, the disc-shaped elastic body 15c is sandwiched between the container main body 13 in which the cylindrical elastic body 14 is fitted in the recess 12, and the annular upper frame body 15a and the annular lower frame body 15b. Other configurations are not particularly limited as long as the inner lid 15 and the lid body 16 that covers the upper surface of the container body 13 are provided. For example, in the above example, the container main body 13 and the lid body 16 are opened and closed by screw engagement, but the container main body 13 and the lid body 16 are connected by a hinge so as to be a so-called compact container type. May be. Alternatively, the container body 13 and the lid body 16 may slide in the horizontal direction to open the upper surface of the container body 13.

  Further, the wide-mouth container of the present invention does not have to be a circular container in plan view as in the above example, and may be an elliptical or polygonal container in plan view. In this case, the planar shape of the cylindrical elastic body 14 and the inner lid 15 is also set to an appropriate shape according to the planar shape of the container body 13.

  Furthermore, the wide-mouth container of the present invention can also be applied to a simple sample container that distributes a small amount of a cosmetic sample or sends it by direct mail. In that case, each part can also be made into the molded article which provided the uneven | corrugated shape by vacuum forming. Further, the content is not limited to the liquid cosmetic 11 but may be a powder cosmetic such as loose powder. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to cosmetics but also to wide-mouth containers that contain various liquid materials and powders.

  When the content is powder, the container is turned upside down several times while pressing a puff or the like on the upper surface of the disk-shaped elastic body 15c, and the powder is continuously transferred from the recess 12 to the disk-shaped elastic body 15c. It can be shaken out to a puff or the like via bubbles and used for makeup or the like using the puff.

  In addition, when the contents are powder, even if the powder is aggregated or the like and it is difficult to take out from the recess 12, if the disk-shaped elastic body 15 c is pushed into the recess 12 using a puff or the like, the circle The plate-like elastic body 15c is elastically deformed to come into contact with the contents and can be directly scraped off. Even if the powder-like contents are scraped off in a lump state, the elastic elastically deformed disk-like elastic body 15c returns to its original state, and the contents pass through the open cells while being loosened. When coming, it has the advantage that the contents are finely loosened and taken out in a uniform state. Therefore, the taken-out contents can be used satisfactorily with no unevenness.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be widely used as a wide-mouth container that contains liquid or powder-like contents and can be used by taking them out little by little.
