Press and operate.

  When the push button portion 26 is pressed, the ring body 21 of the operation member 12 is elastically deformed, and an operation reaction force is applied to the tapered protrusion 14 to operate the inclined surfaces 14a and 21a between the tapered protrusion 14 and the ring body 21. The force can be converted into the moving force of the moving member 6, and as a result, the slide protrusion 22 can be slid in the slide groove 15, and the moving member 6 slides relative to the lid 2, and the connecting rod 20 Can also be slid in the hollow cylindrical portion 5, thereby adjusting the entrance / exit of the brush portion 3 a from the entrance / exit 4 narrower than the extent of the brush 3 to adjust the degree of constriction and extent of the brush 3, Application operability can be improved. In particular, in the present embodiment, since the ironing member 9 is mounted, the amount of the nail enamel liquid adhering to the brush portion 3a when the brush 3 is extracted from the container body 1 can be adjusted, and the application is higher. Convenience of operation can be ensured.

  The degree of constriction of the brush 3 may be performed before the lid 2 is loosened. In this case, first, the movable member 6 is appropriately slid by the operation member 12 to adjust the spread of the brush portion 3a in advance, and then the movable member 6 is rotated in the circumferential direction to remove the lid 2 from the container body. What is necessary is just to make it detach | leave from 1. During the coating operation, since the O-ring 24 is in frictional contact with the hollow cylindrical portion 5, the sliding position of the connecting rod 20 and consequently the moving member 6 can be held, and the brush portion 3 a can be squeezed and spread. It can be kept almost constant. If necessary, the position of the moving member 6 may be maintained by holding down the push button portion 26, thereby maintaining the degree of constriction of the brush portion 3a.

  When the brush 3 is inserted into the container body 1 and returned, the push button portion 26 is further pushed to slide the moving member 6 so that the slide protrusion 22 is locked to the stopper 23 in the slide groove 15. Thereby, the whole brush 3 can be pulled up and accommodated in the hollow cylinder part 5, and when inserting in the container main body 1, it can prevent that the brush part 3a is scattered by the ironing member 9.
