Description

  The present invention relates to a highly airtight compact for storing cosmetics such as foundations and eye shadows, and intends to improve the usability of the compact.

  In recent years, cosmetics such as foundations and eye shadows are often used that contain volatile components. And since the volatilization of the cosmetics containing such a volatile component is unavoidable, a highly airtight compact is used.

As a specific structure for improving the airtightness, a refill type container (inner dish) with an inner lid is arranged separately inside the compact, and when the lid is closed, the inner lid is closed by the lid. The structure which presses to the opening part of an inner plate was employ | adopted (for example, refer patent document 1).
