In order to achieve the above object, the compact of the present invention comprises a container body having a decorative dish receiving recess formed on the upper surface, a lid for covering the upper surface of the container body, A makeup dish housed in the makeup dish housing recess, and a groove is formed on the opposing side wall surfaces of the makeup dish housing recess. One side of the U-shape is fixed, and the other side of the U-shape extends downward and inclining from the inner side of the groove toward the outer side of the groove. , And is elastically deformed downward so as to detachably hold the decorative dish with its restoring force.

[0006]

In other words, the compact according to the present invention is such that grooves are formed on opposing side walls of the dish-receiving recess, and a substantially U-shaped elastic pressing piece having a vertical cross-section is formed on the inner surface of the groove. One side of the groove is fixed, and the other side of the U-shape extends downward from the deep side of the groove toward the outside of the groove. Therefore, when a makeup dish is to be stored in the makeup dish storage recess, it is sufficient to position the makeup dish above the makeup dish storage recess and push it into the makeup dish storage recess as it is. In other words, by the pushing, the decorative dish descends in the decorative dish receiving recess, and comes into contact with the other side of the elastic pressing piece provided in the groove part during the lowering, and after the contact, the elastic pressing piece is lowered. It descends while elastically deforming, and is disposed on the bottom surface of the dish receiving recess. In this state, the other side of the elastic pressing piece has a restoring force generated by the elastic deformation, so that the restoring force presses the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish to hold the decorative dish from both sides and hold the decorative dish in a retaining shape. . On the other hand, when removing the decorative dish from the decorative dish receiving recess, the side wall of the decorative dish is lifted upward against the restoring force. Thus, the outer peripheral surface of the decorative dish is separated from the other side of the elastic pressing piece, and can be easily taken out of the decorative dish receiving recess.
