In this case, the opening / closing door 83 is first maintained in an open state and the intermediate tray F is inserted from the passage hole 74 by a method opposite to the method of taking out the intermediate tray F described above. Thereafter, the open / close door 83 is closed, and the recess 96 of the open / close door 83 and the engagement protrusion 95 of the flange portion 43 are undercut fitted.
Finally, the lid body 3 is closed, and the engagement piece 97 of the open / close door 83 and the side wall portion 57a of the lid body 3 are engaged with each other, whereby the replacement operation of the inner tray F is completed.

Thus, according to this embodiment, by forming the passage hole 74 through which the intermediate dish F can pass through the peripheral wall part 32 (side wall part 36 a) of the container body 2, Exchange work can be performed. In particular, after taking out the intermediate dish F that has used up the cosmetic, when supplying the intermediate dish F filled with a new cosmetic, the first recess 21 without damaging the new cosmetic and the intermediate dish F. Can be supplied within. The passage hole 74 can be opened and closed by the opening / closing member 81 (opening / closing door 83), so that the opening / closing member 81 and the container body 2 constitute the exterior body 6 when the inside tray F is not replaced. become.
Therefore, compared with the case where the hole for taking out the inner tray F is formed in the container main body 2 as in the prior art, the replacement operation of the inner tray F can be performed efficiently while maintaining the appearance.

Further, when both the door 83 and the lid 3 are closed, the door 83 is unexpectedly opened when the lid 3 is closed by engaging the door 83 with the lid 3. Can be suppressed.
Furthermore, by making the part corresponding to the engagement piece 97 in the side wall 57a of the lid 3 the inclined surface 98, the closing state of the open / close door 83 is incomplete during the closing operation of the lid 3 Even so, the engagement piece 97 of the open / close door 83 can slide on the inclined surface 98 to guide the open / close door 83 to the closed state. Thereby, the opening / closing door 83 can be reliably closed.

  Further, since the passage hole 74 of the present embodiment is formed so that the height in the vertical direction gradually decreases as it goes inward in the lateral direction as described above, when the intermediate tray F is taken out, it passes from the passage hole 74. It is easy to pick up and take out the protruding intermediate dish F, and to easily insert the intermediate dish F into the passage hole 74 when the intermediate dish F is supplied.
