Therefore, when the rod-shaped coating tool 32 is attached to or detached from the cover body 31, the outward flange 33d is gripped and attached / detached. It will be easier.

A recess 36 capable of storing the contents is provided on the outer surface of the coating portion 35 of the rod-shaped coating tool 32. As a result, an appropriate amount of the contents can be attached to the coating portion 35. The recess 36 of this example is composed of a peripheral groove extending in the circumferential direction of the rod-shaped coating tool 32, but is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a recess provided in a part in the circumferential direction, or a shaft portion. It may have a vertical groove shape parallel to the extending direction of 34. Further, the coating portion 35 is not limited to the shape as shown in the illustrated example, and can be appropriately changed as long as it can be inserted inside the tubular portion 24. The coating portion 35 may be, for example, a brush-shaped coating portion having a large number of coated hairs, a comb-shaped body having a plurality of comb-tooth pieces, an impregnated body such as a sponge, or a brush-shaped coating portion, a comb-shaped coating portion, and a comb-shaped coating portion. A composite configuration may be formed in which any two or more of the impregnated bodies are combined.

Next, a method of using the coating container 1 will be described. The contents of the coating container 1 can be coated by two methods depending on the intended use.

The first method of use is a method of applying the contents using the comb-shaped coating tool 21, and this method is suitable for applying the contents in a relatively wide range. Specifically, the overcap 30 is removed from the closed state shown in FIG. 1 to bring it into the state shown in FIG. 2, and the body portion 12 is squeezed to deliver the contents to the comb-shaped coating tool 21. When the body portion 12 is squeezed, the contents in the accommodation space S pass through the contents flow path R including the partition wall hole 26, the first passage 28a, the second passage 28b, and the delivery hole 21c, and the comb of the comb-shaped coating tool 21. It is sent to the space between the tooth pieces 21b. Then, by combing the hair with the comb-shaped coating tool 21, the contents can be efficiently applied to the hair. When the squeeze to the body portion 12 is released, the body portion 12 is restored to its original shape. At this time, the contents stored between the comb tooth pieces 21b of the comb-shaped coating tool 21 are the delivery holes 21c and the delivery holes 21c. It is pulled back (sucked back) to the contents flow path R and the accommodation space S side through the first passage 28a and the second passage 28b. As a result, the contents are less likely to remain in the comb-shaped coating tool 21, so that the contents can be used cleanly, and the delivery holes 21c, the first passage 28a, the second passage 28b, and the like are clogged with the contents, resulting in poor discharge. Can be prevented.

The second method of use is to apply the contents using the rod-shaped coating tool 32, and this method is suitable for applying the contents only to fine parts (small areas) such as hair tips. .. Specifically, only the rod-shaped coating tool 32 is removed from the closed coating container 1 shown in FIG. 1, and the contents attached to the coating portion 35 are applied to the portion to be coated such as hair tips. In this example, only the rod-shaped coating tool 32 can be removed from the cover body 31 by grasping the outward flange 33d of the rod-shaped coating tool 32 and rotating the rod-shaped coating tool 32 in the screw-off direction with respect to the cover body 31. Before removing the rod-shaped coating tool 32, it is preferable to appropriately attach the contents to the coating portion 35 by tilting or shaking the coating container 1 in the closed state shown in FIG.

As described above, in the coating container 1 of the present embodiment, by using the comb-shaped coating tool 21, the contents can be efficiently coated over a relatively wide range, and the rod-shaped coating tool can be applied. By using 32, the contents can be easily applied to a small area such as a hair tip. As described above, the coating container 1 of the present embodiment is suitable not only for a wide range of coating operations but also for local coating operations.

Further, the coating container 1 of the present embodiment is configured so that only the rod-shaped coating tool 32 can be removed while the cover body 31 is still attached to the base cap 20. As a result, the comb-shaped coating tool 21 is covered with the cover body 31 as shown in FIG. 5 even while the contents are being applied using the rod-shaped coating tool 32. Therefore, in the coating container 1 of the present embodiment, dust or other dust adheres to the comb-shaped coating tool 21 while the rod-shaped coating tool 32 is being used, or the comb-shaped coating tool 21 is in contact with the outside. It is possible to prevent the 21 from being damaged.

Further, in the coating container 1 of the present embodiment, in the closed state shown in FIG. 1, the rod-shaped coating tool 32 closes the partition wall hole 26 to close the content flow path R. As a result, leakage of the contents (liquid leakage) when not in use can be suppressed more reliably. In this example, in the closed state shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface of the bottom wall 33c of the mounting portion 33 of the rod-shaped coating tool 32 comes into contact with the upper end surface of the holding cylinder 41 to improve the sealing property. As a result, the effect of suppressing liquid leakage when not in use can be enhanced.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the coating container 1 of the above embodiment, the overcap 30 is attached to the base cap 20, but the overcap 30 may be attached to the container body 10. Further, in the above embodiment, the base cap 20 is screwed to the container body 10 by a screw portion, but the container body 10 and the base cap 20 are engaged in the vertical direction (undercut engagement). It is also possible to provide a convex portion to be attached and attach it by tapping or the like. Further, the means for attaching the overcap 30 to the base cap 20 is not limited to the screw portion, and a convex portion that undercuts and engages in the vertical direction may be provided between the base cap 20 and the overcap 30. Further, the means for attaching the rod-shaped coating tool 32 to the cover body 31 is not limited to the screw portion, and a convex portion that undercuts and engages in the vertical direction may be provided between the cover body 31 and the rod-shaped coating tool 32. ..
