Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for storing powder such as loose powder, and more particularly to a refill by screwing a perforated inner plate into an opening of a container body. And a removable cosmetic container. 2. Description of the Related Art A refill type powder cosmetic container is a type of powder container in which cosmetic powder is filled in a refill and the refill is refillably stored in a container body. Cosmetic containers that store cosmetic powders such as loose powder include cosmetic containers that directly store the cosmetic powder and discard it when the cosmetic powder runs out, but this is uneconomical and protects the global environment. At present, the type in which cosmetic powder is filled in a refill and the refill is stored in a refillable manner is now mainstream. FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a cosmetic container using a conventional refill. Cosmetic container 50 has a peripheral wall formed by attaching a middle frame 52 to a bottom plate 51, and a flange portion 53 a of a refill 53 is formed on a step portion 52 a formed on the inner periphery of the middle frame 52.
Put. Then, the inner lid 54 is detachably attached to the inner frame 52, and the inner lid 54 is arranged above the refill 53. A mesh body 55 and a puff 56 are placed above the inner cover 54, and an outer cover 57 is attached to the middle frame 52, and the mesh body 55
The puff 56 is stored between the outer lid 57 and the inner lid 54. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a conventional refill.
The refill 53 has a flange 53a at the upper end and a filling port 53b at the bottom. An upper seal 60 is attached to the flange portion 53a to seal an upper opening of the refill 53, and the upper seal 60 is provided with a tab 60a.
The tab 60a is used to attach the upper seal 60 to the flange 53a.
Remove from A filling port 53b at the bottom of the refill 53
Is filled with the lower seal 61, so that the filling port 53b is sealed. The filling port 53b is an opening for filling the loose powder 62 into the refill 53. In order to fill loose powder 62 into refill 53, when performing a filling operation from an upper opening of refill 53,
The formation of the filling port 53b becomes unnecessary. When replacing the refill 53, the outer lid 57 is opened, the puff 56 and the mesh body 55 are taken out, the inner lid 54 is removed from the middle frame 52, and the refill 53 without the loose powder 62 is removed from the cosmetic container. Remove from 50,
Next, a new refill 53 is stored in the cosmetic container 50. [0007] However, the cosmetic container 50 described above is provided with a flange 53 a of the refill 53.
Is mounted on the step 52a of the middle frame 52, and the middle lid 54 is attached to the middle frame 52, and the packing 70 of the middle lid 54 prevents the refill 53 from coming off. In this case, the inner lid 54 contacts the upper end of the inner frame 52 to seal the space 71 for accommodating the refill 53. 53 flange 53a and packing 70
The loose powder 62 may leak from the gap between the two. The loose powder 62 leaked from the gap between the flange portion 53a of the refill 53 and the packing 70
Exist near the flange portion 53a of the refill 53 and are accumulated and remain. The place where the loose powder 62 is accumulated is between the refill 53 and the inner lid 54, that is, a place hidden by the inner lid 54. Therefore, when the flange 53a of the refill 53 is separated from the step 52a of the middle frame 52 to replace the refill 53, the powder adhering and accumulating on the peripheral edge of the refill 53 scatters around. However, there is a risk that the clothes and the like of the user will be stained. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems and to prevent powder from accumulating on the periphery of the refill by recovering the powder that has leaked to the periphery of the refill during use. An object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic container which can prevent powder from scattering at times. [0012] In order to achieve the above object, a cosmetic container according to the present invention is provided with a perforated inner plate screwed into an opening of a container main body, and a refill capable of being detachably replaced. In the material container, an inner peripheral wall shorter than the outer peripheral wall is provided inside the container main body, and a space for powder accumulation is formed between the inner peripheral wall and the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall, and a space above the space is formed. A plurality of ribs are provided in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall of the container body so as to protrude, the top surfaces of these ribs are formed flush with each other, and the flange portion of the refill is placed on the top surface of the rib. Then, the flange portion is configured to be pressed and clamped by the lower end of the inner edge of the perforated inner plate. When the cosmetic container of the refill type powder is used or carried, the powder leaks from a gap between the flange portion of the refill and the lower end of the inner edge of the perforated inner plate. Conventionally, this powder is accumulated and remains near the periphery of the refill. However, in the case of the present invention, a space for storing powder is formed between the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall of the container body,
Since the space for the powder pool exists below the flange portion of the refill, the powder leaked from between the flange portion of the refill and the perforated plate falls into the space for the powder pool below and is collected. Is done. At the time of replacing the refill, the powder has already been collected in the space for storing the powder, and only a small amount of the powder is on the flange portion of the refill. Even when the flange portion of the refill is separated, the powder does not scatter around. Therefore, when the refill is replaced, there is no fear that the powder scatters in and out of the cosmetic container and stains the clothes and the like of the user. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of main components thereof, and FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view of each component of the cosmetic container. FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, a cosmetic container 1 has an outer peripheral wall 4 and an inner peripheral wall 5 erected from a bottom 3 and a container main body 2 containing a refill 6 therein, and an outer peripheral wall of the container main body 2.

Absent. As shown in FIG. 1, the container body 2 is hermetically covered by a lid 8 screwed around its outer periphery, and a space for accommodating a puff 18 and a mesh body is formed between the container body 2 and the internal refill 6. Next, the operation of the space 9 for storing the powder when the refill is replaced will be described. From the state shown in FIG. 1, the lid 8 is opened to take out the puff 18 and the mesh body. 3 is pushed out by inserting an appropriate jig into a small hole 3a provided in the cosmetic container 1 and taken out of the cosmetic container 1.
At this time, when the flange portion 6a of the refill is separated from the top surface 11 of the rib 10, the powder is scattered around in the conventional cosmetic container, but in this embodiment, the powder is used for powder accumulation. Since the powder collected in the space 9 and on the flange portion 6a is slight,
When the refill 6 is replaced, the powder does not scatter around. Therefore, there is no fear that the powder scatters inside and outside the refill-type powder cosmetic container 1 and stains the clothes and the like of the user. After the used refill 6 of the loose powder 12 is removed from the cosmetic container as described above, a new refill 6 is stored in the cosmetic container 1. Next, a perforated inner plate 7 is attached to the outer peripheral wall 4, and the flange portion 6 a of the refill 6 is attached to the top surface 1 of the rib 10.
