BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for containing cosmetics such as powder and paste.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a cosmetic plate containing powdery cosmetics such as face powder and body powder scatters around the cosmetics when carried, or a large amount of cosmetics adheres to the puff during use. In order to prevent this, the cosmetic material in the makeup tray is covered with the mesh provided at the upper end opening. However, in this case, it is difficult for all the cosmetics to adhere to the puff because the mesh is an obstacle, and it is the actual situation that the cosmetics are discarded with the cosmetics left on the bottom of the makeup plate. Therefore, the mesh can be brought close to the bottom of the decorative plate, and as a result, a compact container that allows cosmetics to be used to the end without waste is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-184.
No. 06 publication. This compact container is
As shown in FIG. 11, in the recess 31a of the outer container 31,
A bowl-shaped drum 32 (decorative dish) made of a synthetic resin material having elasticity is housed, and an outer frame 34 of a mesh 34 is attached to a support frame 33 attached to an upper end opening of the drum 32.
It is designed to support and fix a. In the figure, 35
Is a puff and 36 is a powder. In this device, the puff 35 pushes the upper surface of the mesh 34 with the puff 35 to push the powder 36 onto the mesh 34, and a proper amount of the powder 36 is attached to the puff 35. Also,
When the powder 36 on the bottom of the drum 32 is attached to the puff 35, as shown in FIG. 12, the mesh 34 is strongly pressed by the puff 35 (or the fingers are used) to push down the upper end opening of the drum 32. As a result, the mesh 34 is brought close to the bottom of the drum 32, and an appropriate amount of powder 36 is attached to the puff 35.
After the powder 36 is attached to the puff 35 in this way, the puff 35 is separated from the mesh 34, and the elastic restoring force of the drum 32 causes the drum 32 to return to its original shape.

[0003]

However, in this one, when the mesh 34 is strongly pressed by the puff 35 and the upper end opening of the drum 32 is pushed down, the mesh 34 is pressed.
A large external force resulting from the pressing force acts on the outer frame 34a and the support frame 33, and these are damaged early. In addition, since the drum 32 is made of an elastic synthetic resin material, when the drum 32 is held in the recess 31a of the outer container 31 by holding the drum 32 with fingers or the like, a small force holding the drum 32 is exerted. However, the drum 32 is easily deformed, and the powder 36 in the drum 32 is pushed out onto the mesh 34 by this deformation and scattered around. Furthermore, even when the mesh 34 is pressed by the puff 35 during use,
It is difficult to deform the desired portion of the drum 32, and it is difficult to use all the cosmetics.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances and is not easily damaged, and the cosmetic material is not pushed out onto the mesh at the time of storage work, and is easy to handle. Its purpose is to provide a cosmetic container.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the cosmetic container according to the present invention is formed in a U-shaped cross-section having a decorative plate for accommodating cosmetics inside and double walls inside and outside. A ring-shaped frame body attached to the upper end opening of the decorative plate, a ring-shaped elastic expansion / contraction portion extending elastically inward from the inner peripheral portion of the frame body, and a tip end portion of the elastic expansion / contraction portion. and the mounting portion of the annular coupled consists of a porous sheet which peripheral portion is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting portion, the heat-friendly to the aforementioned frame and elastically stretchable portion and the attachment portion has elasticity
It is integrally molded with plastic elastomer, and it is a puff with the above porosity.
When pressing the upper surface of the sheet-like sheet to extend the elastic stretchable part,
The porous sheet can be brought into contact with the bottom of the decorative plate.
When the puff is released from the porous sheet body, the elastic stretchable part
Shrinks and the porous sheet returns to its original state.
A configuration that has been.

That is, the cosmetic container of the present invention comprises a decorative plate, an annular frame body attached to the upper end opening, and an annular elastic expansion / contraction portion extending inwardly from the inner peripheral portion of the frame body. And a porous sheet body fixed to the inner peripheral portion of the elastic stretchable portion. Therefore, by use,
When the surface of the cosmetic is lowered and there is a gap between the surface of the cosmetic and the porous sheet body such as a mesh, the elastic expansion / contraction portion is turned inward downward by pressing the porous sheet body from above with a puff. Extend and push down the porous sheet body,
Contact the surface of the cosmetic. For example, when the cosmetic material in the center of the bottom of the makeup plate is attached to the puff, the porous sheet body is pressed almost directly by the puff to approach the center of the bottom of the makeup plate. Further, when the cosmetics at the bottom corner of the makeup plate are attached to the puff, the puff is moved in the direction of the corner while the porous sheet body is pressed by the puff, whereby the elastic stretchable portion is The porous sheet member is moved in the direction of the corner by expanding and contracting in the direction of the corner. In this way, after moving the porous sheet body to the desired portion of the decorative plate together with the puff,
The upper surface of the porous sheet body is pressed with a puff to push the cosmetic material onto the porous sheet body, and an appropriate amount of the cosmetic material is attached to the puff. Thus, in the cosmetic container of the present invention, since the porous sheet body can be brought close to the desired portion of the decorative dish, all the cosmetics in the decorative dish can be attached to the puff and used up. Moreover, even if the puff presses the porous sheet body with a strong force, this pressing force is absorbed by the elastic contraction portion and is not transmitted to the annular frame body attached to the upper end opening portion of the decorative plate, so that the frame body Etc. will not be damaged early. Further, since the decorative plate can be made of a material having a predetermined rigidity, even if the decorative plate is held by fingers during storage work, the decorative plate will not be deformed by this force,
The cosmetic will not be extruded onto the porous sheet body.
Furthermore, since the porous sheet body can be easily moved to a desired portion of the decorative dish, it is very easy to handle and all the cosmetics can be attached to the puff. Moreover, since the frame body and the elastic expansion / contraction part are integrally formed of a thermoplastic elastomer having elasticity, the elastic expansion / contraction part can be easily manufactured, and the number of parts is reduced, and inventory management is performed. Management aspects such as are simplified.

Further, in the present invention, when the elastic expansion / contraction part is formed in a bellows shape, it is very easy to move the elastic expansion / contraction part in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.
