A nail 28 is provided. Further, a mirror 29 having a size covering substantially the entire area is attached to the inner side surface of the lid 15.

  In this embodiment, the lid opening mechanism 18 to which the engaging claws 28 of the lid 15 are detachably locked is a known opening mechanism described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-72506, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-256825, and the like. The position corresponding to the engaging claw 28 of the lid 15 is provided at the center of the other long side portion of the container body 11 opposite to the hinge portion 14. The lid opening mechanism 18 is provided inside the engagement cutout portion 30 that is a region in which the central portion of the peripheral wall 11b of the other long side portion of the container main body 11 is cut out (region where the peripheral wall 11b is recessed inside the container main body). It is arranged. Further, the lid opening mechanism 18 is a part of the peripheral wall 11b, and on the upper side of the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31 that divides the engaging cutout portion 30 and the concave portion 23 of the container body 11 from the engaging cutout portion 30 side (recessed portion 23). The hook piece 21 that protrudes toward and away from the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31 (towards the recess 23) against the urging force from the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31 side. Etc. are configured.

  Then, the lid opening mechanism 18 is configured so that the hook piece 21 is hooked from the outside to the hook-facing peripheral wall portion from the state in which the engaging claw 28 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the engaging claw 28 is pushed up by the push-up piece 33 of the hook piece 21 and released from the engaging projection 32 by pushing the operation toward the 31 side. The lid 15 can be opened by rotating upward.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the engaging cutout portion 30 and the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31 extend over the applicator storage portion 13 and the refill storage recess 25 on both sides of the partition wall 24 in the recess 23 of the container body 11. Now, it is provided in the central part of the other long side part of the container main body 11. In addition, a pressing insertion opening 35 through which the pressing protrusion 34 of the hook piece 21 is inserted so as to be able to advance and retract is formed through the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31 that divides the refill housing recess 25.

In the present embodiment, the hook piece 21 as a pressing piece constituting the operation unit 19 has a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional shape including a pressing piece 36 and a slide piece 37 and projects obliquely upward from the slide piece 37. The push-up piece 33 is provided. Further, a pressing protrusion 34 is provided in a portion corresponding to the pressing insertion opening 35 formed on the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31 of the slide piece 37 so as to be able to be inserted into the pressing insertion opening 35. The pressing protrusion 34 penetrates the pressing insertion opening 35 and projects its tip into the inside of the refill housing recess 25 by the pressing operation of the hook piece 21 by pressing the pressing piece 36 toward the hook-facing peripheral wall 31. . As a result, the pressing protrusion 34 of the hook piece 21 forms the outer surface of the side wall 22a that constitutes the surface of the refill container 22 fitted in the refill storage recess 25 that faces the pressing direction X of the pressing protrusion 34. It abuts on a portion of the surface adjacent to the hook-facing peripheral wall portion 31.

  And in this embodiment, it is an outer peripheral surface of the side wall part 22a of the refill container 22 with which the pressing protrusion 34 abuts, and a position (partition wall 24) facing the pressing insertion opening 35 formed in the hook opposing peripheral wall part 31. A fragrance sheet piece 20 holding a large number of pressure-collapseable microcapsules enclosing a fragrance is attached to a portion adjacent to the fragrance. Therefore, in this embodiment, by pressing the hook piece 21 for opening the lid 15, a part of the many microcapsules held by the fragrance sheet piece 20 attached to the refill container 22 is collapsed, The scent by the encapsulated fragrance can be emitted.

  The fragrance sheet piece 20 attached to the outer surface of the side wall portion 22a of the refill container 22 has a gap between the materials constituting the sheet, such as woven fabric, non-woven fabric, perforated paper, and the like described in, for example, registered utility model No. 3054251. A large number of microcapsules, which are pressure-disintegrating particles in which a fragrance is encapsulated, are held on the surface portion or inside of a base sheet having a surface, and by applying pressure to the sheet, the microcapsules are disintegrated partly Thus, the pressure-sensitive aroma sheet capable of releasing the scent of the encapsulated fragrance can be cut into an appropriate size and used. Moreover, the fragrance sheet piece 20 can be easily attached to a desired position on the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 22 through, for example, an adhesive.

  Here, as the fragrance ingredients enclosed in the microcapsule, “fragrance chemistry” (Ryoichi Akahoshi, edited by the Chemical Society of Japan, industrial chemistry series, published on September 16, 1983) and “synthetic fragrance chemistry and product knowledge” "Amendment revised edition" (Motoichi Indo, Chemical Industry Daily, published on March 22, 2005) and "Actual knowledge of fragrances and incense" (by Motoki Nakajima, Sangyo Tosho Co., Ltd., June 21, 1995) Can be used. Specific examples thereof include limonene, linalool, geraniol, citronellol, phenylethyl alcohol, 3-methyl-5-phenylpentanol, 2-methyl-4- (2,2,3-trimethyl-3-cyclopentene-1- Yl) -2-buten-1-ol (trade name = Sandal Mysol Core / Kao), hexamethylhexahydrocyclopentabenzopyran (trade name = Garaxolide / IFF), citral, vanillin, hexylcinnamaldehyde, 3- (3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl) -2-methylpropanal (trade name = Helional / IFF), 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde (common name = Heliotropin), 4-tert-3- (4-tert-Butylphenyl) -propanal (Product = Lilyal / Dibodan), a mixture of 2,4-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde and 3,5-dimethyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde (trade name = Tripal / IFF or trade name) = Ligstral / Quest), 7-acetyl-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-1,1,6,7-tetramethylnaphthalene (trade name = Iso E Super / IF Corporation), 1- (2,2-dimethyl-6-methylenecyclohexyl) -1-penten-3-one (α-isomethylionone), benzyl acetate, geranyl acetate, linalyl acetate, methyl dihydrojasmonate, O-tert-Butylcyclohexyl acetate, γ-decalactone, 1,4-dioxacycloheptadecane-5,1 Examples include 7-dione (ethylene brush rate), lavender oil, lemon oil, patchouli oil, and the like. Moreover, various fragrance | flavors, such as herb oils, such as lavandin, pine, citronella, and clary sage described in registration utility model No. 3054251 can be used.

  And according to the cosmetic container 10 of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, every time an operation of opening the lid 15 is performed, the fragrance is released and the scent is drifted without requiring any other special operation. In particular, when trying to apply makeup, it is possible to enhance the feeling of comfort due to the scent and to make the makeup comfortably.

  That is, the cosmetic container 10 of the present embodiment has a fragrance sheet piece in which a large number of microcapsules having pressure collapse properties are held in the movement region of the pressing protrusion 34 of the hook piece 21 so as to face the pressing direction X of the hook piece 21. 20 is attached, and each time the lid 15 is opened by the hook piece 21, a large number of microcapsules are partly collapsed by the pressure from the operation unit 19 to release the fragrance. The fragrance will be released with the opening operation of the lid 15 that is inevitably performed when applying makeup, and the microcapsules can repeatedly release the fragrance without forgetting the operation of releasing the fragrance. In particular, every time makeup is applied, the fragrance of the fragrance is surely drifted, and it becomes possible to make the makeup comfortably while enhancing the comfort.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as a means for intermittently releasing the fragrance, since the sheet-like fragrance sheet piece 20 holding a large number of microcapsules in which the fragrance is enclosed is used, for example, a generally commercially available compact The cosmetic container 10 can be formed with the same shape and size as the case. Furthermore, since the fragrance encapsulated in microcapsules with pressure collapse is released by a switch called pressure, it does not release until pressure is applied, thereby avoiding the loss of fragrance before use. Thus, the scent can be surely drifted during use. Furthermore, since the fragrance sheet piece 20 can be easily attached to a portion that is difficult to touch other objects such as the outer peripheral surface of the refill container 22 fitted in the refill storage recess 25, pressure is applied when it is not expected. It is possible to effectively avoid the release of the fragrance.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the cosmetic container 12 is a container by the refill container 22 that is detachably attached to the container body 11, and the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 22 a of the refill container 22. Since the cosmetic sheet 16 is repeatedly used a predetermined number of times and all the microcapsules held by the aromatic sheet piece 20 collapse and cannot release the fragrance, for example, a refill container When the cosmetic 16 accommodated in 22 is lost and replaced with a new refill container 22, the fragrance sheet piece 20 can be periodically replaced with a new one. Thus, it is possible to maintain the function of releasing the fragrance.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the operation part of the lid opening mechanism for opening the lid does not necessarily have to be a pressing operation of the pressing piece, for example, the operating part is a sliding operation of the slide piece, and the fragrance sheet piece is It may be provided in the slide movement area of the slide piece. Moreover, the cosmetics accommodation part of a container main body does not necessarily need to be an exchangeable accommodation part by a refill container, and may be an accommodation part fixed to the container main body. Furthermore, the container main body may be one in which the cosmetic container storage section and the applicator storage section are disposed adjacent to each other, and the applicator storage section may be provided above the cosmetic storage section with an intermediate plate interposed therebetween. For example, like a two-stage compact container described in JP-A-9-75129, a main body including a cosmetic container, a lid covering the upper surface, and an applicator container on the lower surface side of the cosmetic container In the case where the middle frame is hinged, the operation part of the lid opening mechanism is a pressing piece or a slide piece, and an aromatic sheet piece is provided in the movement area of the operation part in the cosmetic container or the refill container of the cosmetic container It may be. In addition, like the cosmetic container described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-46613, two operation parts are provided on both sides, for example, and the pressing piece as the operating part has a U-shape in plan view. In the case where the pressing direction front end portions are provided at two places, the aromatic sheets may be arranged at 1 to 4 positions among the four moving areas in the pressing direction which are pressed by the front end portions in the four pressing directions. it can.
