This cosmetic container 1A is a compact case-type cosmetic container, and a cosmetic container 3 for accommodating cake-shaped cosmetics A such as eye shadow, eyebrow, and teak in a thin container body 2; The applicator accommodation chamber 4 for accommodating the cosmetic applicator 10 used for applying the cosmetic A is provided. The cosmetic container 1A stores the cosmetic A in the cosmetic storage chamber 3 and the cosmetic applicator 10 in the applicator storage chamber 4 to form a cosmetic product.

  A lid 5 is joined to the container body 2 by a hinge. The engaging rib 7a provided on the lid 5 is detachably engaged with the engaged portion 7b provided on the container body 2 so that the lid 5 is closed. A button 7 is provided on the front surface when the cosmetic container 1A is used, and the engaging rib 7a and the locked portion 7b are engaged by pressing the button 7 toward the applicator accommodating chamber 4 side. The stop state is released.

  The cosmetic applicator 10 includes a straight rod-shaped gripping part 11 having a flat cross section and application bodies 12 and 13 formed at both ends of the gripping part. Here, examples of the flat cross-sectional shape of the grip portion 11 include a rectangle, an ellipse, and a flat circle. The aspect ratio (ratio of major axis to minor axis) is preferably 11:10 or more. : 5 or more is more preferable. By making the cross-sectional shape of the holding part 11 flat, it is possible to meet the demand for thinning the cosmetic container for housing the cosmetic applicator 10, which is preferable.

  When the cosmetic applicator 10 is directly placed on the bottom surface of the applicator storage chamber 4, it is not easy to pick the cosmetic applicator 10 from the applicator storage chamber 4 by grasping the grip portion 11 with a finger. Since the applicator accommodation chamber 4 of the cosmetic container 1A is provided with a pedestal 20A with the mounting surface 21 inclined as described later, the cosmetic applicator 10 can be removed from the applicator accommodation chamber 4. This is easy, and this ease of taking out becomes remarkable when the cross section of the grip portion 11 is flat. Therefore, the significance of the present invention is high when the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10 has a flat cross section.

  In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the grip part of the cosmetic applicator accommodated in the cosmetic container of the present invention is not limited to a flat shape, and may be, for example, a perfect circle, a square, a triangle, or another polygon.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the formation material of the application bodies 12 and 13, For example, it can form from a sponge, the resin material which carried out the flocking process, a brush, etc. The application bodies 12 and 13 may be made of different materials, or may be formed in different shapes and sizes. Further, the application body may be formed only at one end of the grip portion 11.

  This cosmetic container 1 </ b> A has a base 20 </ b> A on which the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10 is placed on the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 of the cosmetic applicator 10. Therefore, in a state where the cosmetic applicator 10 is stored in the applicator storage chamber 4, the grip portion 11 is not placed directly on the bottom surface 6 of the applicator storage chamber 4, but from the bottom surface 6 of the applicator storage chamber 4. Is also in a high position. Thereby, when taking out the cosmetic applicator 10 accommodated in the applicator accommodation chamber 4, it becomes easy to place a finger on the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10.

  In addition, in a state where the cosmetic applicator 10 is accommodated in the applicator accommodation chamber 4, it is preferable that the application bodies 12 and 13 are also lifted from the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 and are not in contact with the bottom surface 6. Thereby, it can suppress that the applicator accommodation chamber 4 becomes dirty with the application bodies 12 and 13 to which cosmetics adhered.

  In the pedestal 20A, the placement surface 21 of the cosmetic applicator 10 has a surface inclined in the short direction of the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10 placed on the pedestal 20A.

  That is, when the cosmetic applicator 10 is placed on the pedestal 20A, the placement surface 21 of the pedestal 20A is parallel to the longitudinal direction D1 of the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10, and the placement surface 21 is The applicator accommodation chamber 4 is inclined with respect to the bottom surface 6. In short, the mounting surface 21 is not inclined in the longitudinal direction D1 of the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10, but is inclined in the short direction.

  More specifically, the mounting surface 21 is flat, and the inclination is such that the height from the bottom surface 6 of the applicator storage chamber 4 to the mounting surface 21 is low on the cosmetic storage chamber 3 side, and the cosmetic storage chamber. 3 is high on the opposite side (button 7 side). Here, the height from the bottom surface 6 of the placement surface 21 on the cosmetics accommodation chamber 3 side is preferably 0% or more and 50% or less of the depth of the applicator accommodation chamber 4, and on the opposite side of the cosmetic accommodation chamber 3. 80% or more and 100% or less of the depth of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 is preferable.

  Regarding this inclination, the angle θ1 (FIG. 1 (b)) formed by the bottom surface 6 of the applicator accommodating chamber 4 and the placement surface 21 is preferably 10 ° or more and 60 ° or less, and particularly 30 ° or more and 50 °. It is preferable that the angle is not more than °.

  The size of the mounting surface 21 is preferably 30% or more and 100% or less, and particularly preferably 60% or more and 80% or less of the length of the gripping part 11 with respect to the length in the longitudinal direction of the gripping part 11 placed there. . However, when the cosmetics applicator 10 is placed on the pedestal 20A, the size of the applicators 12 and 13 is smaller than the cross section of the gripper 11, and the applicators 12 and 13 are placed on the plane of the placement surface 21. When not contacting, the length of the mounting surface 21 may be the full length of the applicator accommodation chamber 4 regardless of the length of the grip portion 11.

  When the cosmetic applicator 10 is taken out from the applicator accommodation chamber 4, as shown in FIG. 2A, the grip portion 11 of the cosmetic applicator 10 is lightly pressed with a finger, and then the grip portion 11 is placed on the placement surface 21.
