  And a user pushes the storage part 4 which has flexibility in the state which stood up the cosmetics container 100, as shown in FIG. Then, the cosmetic L stored in the storage unit 4 passes through the flow path 13 of the communication unit 7 and is discharged from the opening 10 to the outside. The cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 can form a sphere B as shown in FIG. 5 due to surface tension and viscosity. At this time, since the cosmetic L from the opening 10 is received by the receiving portion 11, the cosmetic L is guided (followed) to the receiving surface of the receiving portion 11, so that the spherical B can be easily formed.

  The user may push the storage unit 4 so that the cosmetic L can be recognized as a spherical shape having the same size as the reference protrusion 9 by using the spherical reference protrusion 9 of the sleeve 2 as a guide. Then, when it is recognized that the spherical shape B by the cosmetic L has become the same size as the guide protrusion 9, the pressing of the storage unit 4 is stopped. As a result, a certain amount of cosmetic L suitable for use can be taken out in the form of a sphere B, and the user can apply it to the skin or the like for fingers or hands.

  After use, as shown in FIG. 1, the user attaches the cap 3 to the container body 1 so that the pin 15 of the cap 3 enters the flow path 13 through the opening 10 of the sleeve 2. It can enter and the leakage and volatilization of the cosmetic L in the storage part 4 can be prevented.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when the storage part 4 which has the flexibility of the container main body 1 is pushed by the user, the cosmetic L of the storage part 4 is in the middle of the communication part 7 and the communication part 7 of the sleeve 2. Is discharged from the opening 10 at the tip through the inside of the guide protrusion 9. At this time, the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 can form a sphere B by surface tension and viscosity. The user only has to push the storage unit 4 so that the cosmetic L can be recognized as a spherical shape having the same size as the reference protrusion 9 with the spherical reference protrusion 9 as a guide. As a result, with a simple configuration of the guide protrusion 9, any user can easily take out a certain amount of the spherical B cosmetic L suitable for use, and dissatisfaction with the makeup effect due to variations in the amount of the cosmetic L. The error of the number of times of use can be suppressed.

  Further, since the concave receiving portion 11 that receives the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 is provided in the vicinity of the opening 10 of the sleeve 2, the surface tension of the cosmetic L is received while receiving the cosmetic L from the opening 10 at the receiving portion 11. And the viscosity makes it easier to form a sphere.

  Further, since the concave receiving portion 11 has a bowl shape, the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 can be formed as a beautiful spherical B.

  Incidentally, the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 becomes cylindrical when the viscosity is high, and is deformed and droops when the viscosity is low. In the case of water, the spherical shape can be maintained until it becomes large to some extent.

  6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a cosmetic container according to the second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of the sleeve with the cap removed, and FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of the sleeve shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a state in use of the sleeve shown in FIG. 7, and FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the receiving portion of the sleeve shown in FIG. 11 is a longitudinal sectional view of FIG.

  In the cosmetic container 200 of the second embodiment, the portion above the guide protrusion 9 and the concave receiving portion 11 of the communication portion 7 of the first embodiment are changed. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the basic change is that the receiving portion has the same shape as that of the first embodiment, but is a receiving portion 16 made of an elastic body such as NBR. The receiving portion 16 is provided with an opening 10 similar to that of the first embodiment.

  With this change, as shown in FIG. 7, a cylindrical portion (hereinafter referred to as an outer cylindrical portion) 17 extending to the mounting portion 8 side (the container body 1 side) at a position around the opening 10 on the bottom surface of the receiving portion 16. Are integrally provided (integrated molding). The outer cylindrical portion 17 is sized such that an inner cylindrical portion 19 described later can enter. In addition, the communicating portion 7 of the first embodiment made of a material such as PP is a cylindrical portion (hereinafter referred to as an inner cylindrical portion) 19 whose tip side is reduced in diameter by a step 18 in the middle of the axial direction. , Extending to the bottom of the receiving part 16.

  Then, the outer cylinder part 17 is extrapolated to the inner cylinder part 19, the lower end part of the outer cylinder part 17 abuts on the step 18 of the inner cylinder part 19, and the upper end part of the inner cylinder part 19 abuts the bottom part of the receiving part 16. In the state of contact, the outer cylinder portion 17 and the inner cylinder portion 19 are fitted and fixed. In this state, a portion including the mounting portion 8, the guide protrusion 9, the outer tube portion 17, and the inner tube portion 19 is a communication portion 20. Further, the communication portion 20, the opening 10, and the receiving portion 16 constitute a sleeve 21.

  In the sleeve 21, the receiving part 16 and the outer cylinder part 17 made of an elastic body and the other parts may be formed by two-color molding.

  According to such a cosmetic container 200, the cosmetic L is normally moved from the opening 10 to the outside by the pressing of the flexible storage unit 4 (see FIG. 6) by the user, as in the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 9, a sphere B can be formed by discharging and surface tension and viscosity. And a user should just push the storage part 4 until cosmetics L recognizes it as a spherical shape of the same magnitude | size as the guide protrusion 9, using the guide protrusion 9 of a spherical shape as a guide. As a result, as in the first embodiment, with a simple configuration of the guide protrusion 9, any user can easily take out a certain amount of the spherical B cosmetic L suitable for use, and the amount of the cosmetic L Dissatisfaction of makeup effects and errors in the number of times of use due to variations in the number of times can be suppressed. Similarly to the first embodiment, since the concave receiving portion 16 that receives the cosmetic L is provided in the vicinity of the opening 10 of the sleeve 21, a spherical shape is generated due to surface tension and viscosity while receiving the cosmetic L at the receiving portion 16. Is easier to form. Further, since the concave receiving portion 11 has a bowl shape, the cosmetic L can be formed as a beautiful spherical shape B.

  Here, according to the second embodiment, as another usage pattern, it can also be used as follows. That is, first, the user moves the receiving portion 16 shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 11, an umbrella-shaped umbrella portion 23 is formed in a curved shape (turned over) toward the mounting portion 8 side. As shown in FIG. 7, since the outer cylinder part 17 is located in the bottom part of the receiving part 16, and the hard inner cylinder part 19 is located in the outer cylinder part 17, the receiving part 16 is shown in FIG. In this way, it is turned over to the mounting portion 8 side while being curved from above the outer cylinder portion 17.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the umbrella portion 23 is formed with a small concave receiving portion 22 smaller than the concave receiving portion 16 in the vicinity of the opening 10 of the sleeve 21. Accordingly, the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 by the pressing of the flexible storage unit 4 by the user is smaller in size than the receiving unit 16 due to the surface tension and viscosity of the cosmetic L according to the size of the small receiving unit 22. Can be formed. As a result, the cosmetic L can be taken out in the form of a small sphere, and the user can apply it to the skin or the like for the finger or hand.

  As another form of use, the cosmetic L from the opening 10 can be applied while the umbrella part 23 made of an elastic body, in particular, the tip of the umbrella part 23 is directly applied to the skin or the like.

  And if a user turns the umbrella part 23 upside down, it can return to the bowl-shaped receiving part 16 shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, the receiving portion 11 of the first embodiment is used as the receiving portion 16 that is an elastic body, and the umbrella portion 23 is formed by turning over, so that it is different from the first embodiment. It can correspond to the usage pattern.

  The present invention has been specifically described based on the embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the first embodiment, the tip of the sleeve 2 is particularly preferable. A concave receiving portion 11 for receiving the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 is provided in the vicinity of the opening 10, and the spherical shape B is easily formed by the surface tension and viscosity of the cosmetic L while receiving the cosmetic L at the receiving portion 11. In the second embodiment, the concave receiving portion 16 is made of an elastic body and turned upside down to form the umbrella-shaped umbrella portion 23, thereby forming a small concave receiving portion 22 smaller than the concave receiving portion 11. While receiving L, it is easy to form a spherical shape smaller than the receiving portion 16 due to the surface tension and viscosity of the cosmetic L according to the size of the small receiving portion 22, but the receiving portions 11, 16 and the small receiving portion 22. May or may not. That is, the cosmetic L discharged from the opening 10 at the tip of the sleeves 2 and 21 can form a spherical shape depending on the surface tension and viscosity even if the sleeves 2 and 21 do not have the receiving portions 11 and 16 at the tip.

  Further, the size of the spherical shape of the cosmetic L can be dealt with by changing the radius of the inner surfaces of the receiving portions 11 and 16 according to the location to be used. At this time, it is necessary to change the size of the guide protrusion 9 in accordance with the size of the spherical shape of the cosmetic L.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the container main body 1 is made into the tube type as being especially preferable, for example, it may be a squeeze type container main body such as a soft bottle.
