According to this configuration, unlike the conventional configuration in which the lower container can swivel with respect to the upper container, it is possible to prevent the lower container 3 from unexpectedly moving along with the attachment/detachment operation (rotation operation) of the cap 12.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the lower container 3 is slidably supported by the leg portion 22 extending downward from the upper container 2.
According to this structure, since the leg portion 22 can be used as the grounding surface of the compact container 1, the upper container 2 is stably supported by the leg portion 22 even when the lower container 3 is in the open position. Thereby, when the lower container 3 is in the open position, for example, when the first content is taken out from the upper container 2, the upper container 2 is prevented from tilting due to the load acting from above on the container body 11. it can.
As a result, excellent operability can be provided.

In this embodiment, the leg rear wall portion 32 of the leg portion 22 is formed with the exposed portion 35 that exposes the lower container 3.
According to this configuration, by pushing the lower container 3 forward through the exposed portion 35, the lower container 3 can be slid toward the open position. Thereby, the operability can be further improved.
In addition, it is possible to reduce the overall size of the compact container 1 in plan view as compared with the case where a knob projection or the like is provided on the drawer front wall portion 73 of the lower container 3.

In the present embodiment, a protrusion 71 that protrudes rearward from the drawer 61 and is accommodated in the exposed portion 35 at the closed position of the lower container 3 is provided, and the rear surface of the protrusion 71 and the rear surface of the leg rear wall portion 32 are provided. And are arranged so as to be flush with each other.
According to this configuration, by arranging the rear surface of the protrusion 71 and the rear surface of the leg rear wall portion 32 in the same plane, the rear surface of the protrusion 71 and the rear surface of the leg rear wall portion 32 are made smooth. Line up. Thereby, even if the exposed portion 35 is formed, the appearance of the compact container 1 can be maintained.

In this embodiment, the guide portion 33 projects from the lower end portion of the leg side wall portion 31 toward the inner side in the left-right direction L2.
According to this configuration, as compared with the case where the guide portion is formed in the central portion in the vertical direction of the leg side wall portion 31, for example, the ground contact surface of the leg portion 22 can be secured wider, so that the upper container 2 is supported more stably.

As shown in FIG. 7, the lower container support portion 123 projects forward from the container body 11 at the frontmost position of the slide rail 101.

As shown in FIG. 6, the drawer portion 130 of the lower container 3 includes a drawer body 131 and an outer flange portion 132.
The drawer body 131 is formed in a box shape that opens upward. The above-mentioned middle plate 62 is held in the drawer main body 131. In the drawer main body 131, a storage groove 136 that is recessed inward in the left-right direction L2 is formed at the lower end of the side wall portion 135 located on both sides in the left-right direction L2. The inner wall portion 111 described above is housed in the housing groove 136. The inner wall portion 111 described above supports the inner surface of the accommodation groove 136 slidably from below the accommodation groove 136 or from the outside in the left-right direction L2.

The outer flange portion 132 projects from the upper end of the side wall portion 135 of the drawer body 131 to the outside in the left-right direction L2. As shown in FIG. 5, a rail accommodating portion 140 that opens downward is formed in a portion of the outer flange portion 132 excluding the front and rear end portions. The lower container support portion 123 described above is housed in the rail housing portion 140 from below the rail housing portion 140. That is, the lower container support portion 123 supports the lower container 3 in the rail housing portion 140 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction L1. As described above, in the present embodiment, the outer flange portion 132 is supported by the slide rail 101 from below, and the slide rail 101 is supported from below by the guide portion 33 and the inner wall portion 111 described above. That is, the lower container 3, the slide rails 101, and the slide supporting portions of the legs 22 are arranged in the vertical direction. The front and rear end surfaces of the rail accommodating portion 140 function as restriction surfaces that restrict the movement of the lower container 3 with respect to the slide rail 101.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cap 150 of the present embodiment includes a cap 151 during transition, in addition to the cap body 41 and the exterior body 42.
A pull-up cylinder 152 is formed on the top of the cap body 41.

The transitional plug 151 includes a container fitting portion 155 having a bottomed tubular shape, and a cap fitting tube 156 extending upward from the tubular portion of the container fitting portion 155.
The container fitting portion 155 is configured to be fittable in the upper container 2.
The cap fitting cylinder 156 is configured to be fittable between the pull-up cylinder 152 of the cap body 41 and the peripheral wall portion of the cap body 41. The fitting force (friction force) acting between the cap fitting cylinder 156, the pull-up cylinder 152 of the cap body 41, and the peripheral wall portion is generated by the container fitting portion 155 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper container 2. It is set to be larger than the fitting force that acts between them.

As shown in FIG. 7, the transitional stopper 151 is mounted in the upper container 2 separately from the cap main body 41 after the first content is filled in the upper container 2. After that, when the cap body 41 is attached to the upper container 2, when the cap body 41 is rotated in the tightening direction, the pull-up cylinder 152 of the cap body 41 and the peripheral wall portion of the cap body 41 are moved as the cap body 41 moves downward with respect to the upper container 2. The cap fitting cylinder 156 is fitted between the and. As a result, the cap body 41 and the transitional stopper 151 are assembled. Then, when the compact container 1 is used, by rotating the cap body 41 in the loosening direction, the moving plug 151 moves upward with respect to the upper container 2 together with the cap body 41 and the exterior body 42. As a result, the first outlet 2a of the upper container 2 is opened.

In this way, by closing the upper container 2 (first outlet 2a) with the transitioning stopper 151 in advance after filling the first contents into the upper container 2, the cap is filled after filling the first contents. It is possible to secure a period until the main body 41 is attached. As a result, the degree of freedom in selecting the cap body 41 can be improved, and the filling work of the first content can be performed regardless of the manufacturing state of the cap body 41.

Next, a method of using the compact container 100 of this embodiment will be described. In the following description, a method for taking out the second content will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, when taking out the second contents, the protrusion 71 is pushed forward through the exposed portion 35. Then, the lower container 3 moves forward with respect to the container body 11 and the slide rail 101, and the slide rail 101 moves forward with respect to the container body 11. As a result, the second outlet 62a is opened, so that the second content can be taken out through the second outlet 62a. When the lower container 3 is opened, the lower container 3 is pushed until the front end surface of the rear-side main body support portion 122 comes into contact with the rear surface of the restriction protrusion 110 from the rear of the restriction protrusion 110. Movement is restricted. Further, when the lower container 3 is opened, the lower container 3 is pushed until the rear end surface of the rail housing portion 140 abuts the rear end surface of the lower container support portion 123 from the rear of the lower container support portion 123 (in the slide rail 101). The forward movement of the lower container 3 with respect to the container body 11 and the slide rail 101 is restricted. In the open position of the lower container 3, the lower container support portion 123 projects forward with respect to the container body 11.

In this embodiment, in addition to the same operational effects as the above-described embodiments, the following operational effects are achieved.
That is, at the foremost position of the slide rail 101, the lower container support portion 123 projects forward from the leg portion 22, and the lower container 3 slides to the leg portion 22 via the slide rail 101 (lower container support portion 123). It is configured to be possible. Therefore, it is not necessary to secure an engagement margin between the lower container 3 and the leg portion 22, so that the leg portion 22 of the lower container 3 in the open position can be compared with a configuration in which the lower container 3 is directly supported by the leg portion 22. The amount of protrusion from can be secured. Therefore, it becomes easy to secure the opening width of the second outlet 62a in the front-rear direction L1 at the open position. As a result, the volume of the second contents can be increased and the second contents can be easily taken out through the second take-out port, so that the operability can be further improved.

In the present embodiment, the lower container 3 is supported from below by the lower container support portion 123 via the outer flange portion 132.
According to this configuration, compared with the configuration in which the lower container 3 is supported by the slide rail 101 by the unevenness in the left-right direction L2, the width of the second outlet 62a in the left-right direction L2 is secured, and the lower container 3 slides. It is possible to suppress rattling and the like during operation.

In this embodiment, a guide portion 33 is formed in a portion of the leg portion 22 located below the slide rail 101 so as to project inward in the left-right direction L2 and support the slide rail 101 from below.
According to this configuration, since the outer flange portion 132, the slide rail 101, and the guide portion 33 are arranged in the vertical direction, compared to the configuration in which the lower container 3, the slide rail 101, and the leg portion 22 are supported by the unevenness in the left-right direction L2 or the like. It becomes easy to secure the opening width of the second outlet 62a in the left-right direction L2. As a result, the volume of the second content can be increased and the second content can be easily taken out through the second outlet, so that the operability can be further improved.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other changes can be made to the configuration without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above description, but only by the appended claims.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the rear surface of the leg rear wall portion 32 and the rear surface of the protruding portion 71 are flush with each other has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this. The protrusion 71 may be positioned in front of the rear surface of the leg rear wall portion 32 as long as the protrusion portion 71 is housed in the exposed portion 35. By accommodating the protrusion 71 in the exposed portion 35, a step difference between the rear surface of the lower container 3 (the protrusion 71) and the rear surface of the leg rear wall portion 32 can be reduced. Thereby, even if the exposed portion 35 is formed, the appearance of the compact container 1 can be maintained.
Further, the compact container may have a configuration having only the exposed portion 35, or may have a configuration not having both the exposed portion 35 and the protruding portion 71.

In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the leg portion 22 is opened forward and downward has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this configuration. The leg portion 22 may be closed at least below as long as it is open to the front. Further, the leg portion 22 may be formed intermittently with respect to the bottom portion of the upper container 2.
In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the lower surface of the lower container 3 and the lower end surface of the leg portion 22 are flush with each other has been described, but the configuration is not limited to this. The lower end surface of the leg portion 22 may extend below the lower surface of the lower container 3.
In each of the above-described embodiments, a case has been described in which the cap 12 having no transitional plug 151 is adopted in the first embodiment, and the cap 150 having the transitional plug 151 is adopted in the second embodiment. It is not limited to only. That is, the cap 150 having the transition plug 151 may be adopted in the first embodiment, and the cap 12 not having the transition plug 151 may be adopted in the second embodiment.

Besides, it is possible to appropriately replace the constituent elements in the above-described embodiments with known constituent elements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-described modified examples may be appropriately combined.
