By the way, recently, there is a demand for putting in and taking out a plurality of inner trays containing cosmetics in a cosmetic container. Here, in the configuration of Patent Literature 1, it is not possible to insert and remove a plurality of inner trays from the cosmetic container. Moreover, when the structure of Patent Document 2 is adopted, it is necessary to swing the inner plate step by step, which is troublesome to operate. In addition, since the inner plate is shifted one step at a time, there is a problem that the appearance is not good when the inner plate is pulled out. In addition, since the inner plates are stacked in multiple stages, there is a problem that the height is high and it cannot be made compact. Furthermore, there is a problem that the amount of cosmetics to be accommodated is reduced because the inner plates overlap each other when the inner plates are pulled out.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container that is attractive, easy to operate, compact, and capable of accommodating a large amount of cosmetics.

A cosmetic container according to the present invention comprises a base, a relatively rotating part having a lid superimposed on the base and rotatable relative to the base; When a plurality of middle plates having a storage portion containing cosmetics, a lid portion, and a base portion are relatively rotated about a central axis, the plurality of middle plates are swung to move away from the relative rotation portion. and a rocking mechanism for simultaneously appearing in the opposite direction, and when the lid portion and the pedestal portion are relatively rotated in the opposite direction, rocking the plurality of inner trays in the opposite direction and sinking them into the relative rotating portion at the same time. The swinging mechanism is provided so as to protrude from the outside of the facing surface of either the lid portion or the pedestal portion and serve as the swing fulcrum of the inner plate, and the outside of the other facing surface of the pedestal portion or the lid portion. and a long groove or hole provided in the middle plate, in which the pin is loosely fitted so that the middle plate swings around the shaft, and the lid has an opening in the center , and the inner portion of the inner plate from the accommodating portion and the long groove or the long hole closes the opening when the inner plate is immersed.

According to such a cosmetic container, the plurality of inner trays are arranged along the central axis between the lid and the base, and by relative rotation operation between the lid and the base about the central axis, A plurality of inner trays are oscillated by their respective oscillating mechanisms and at the same time appear sideways from or sink into the relatively rotating part consisting of the lid part and the pedestal part, so that the appearance is good and the operation is easy. is. In addition, since the middle plate is not arranged in multiple stages in this way, the height can be lowered and the size can be reduced. In addition, since the swinging mechanism for swinging the inner plate is not configured to overlap and connect the inner plate and the arm connected to the center axis of the cosmetic container and extending outward, for example, the height is divided by the arm. It can be made lower and more compact. In addition, since the shaft serving as the swinging fulcrum is located outside between the lid and the base, the middle plate can be made to protrude further outward, the storage section can be enlarged, and a large amount of cosmetics can be stored. In addition, since the inner trays do not overlap when they are exposed, the storage section can be enlarged, and more cosmetics can be stored.

Here, as a configuration that suitably exhibits the above-described functions and effects, specifically, the lid portion and the base portion are square when viewed in the axial direction, and overlap when viewed in the axial direction when the inner plate is immersed. Consistent configurations are listed. With such a configuration, the appearance can be improved.

Moreover, the cover part and the pedestal part may have a circular shape when viewed in the axial direction, and may overlap and coincide with each other. With such a configuration, the appearance can be improved.

Further, the lid has an opening in the center, and when the inner plate is inserted, the inner portion of the inner plate from the accommodating portion and the long groove or the long hole closes the opening. The accommodating portion and the portion inside the long groove or long hole can also be used as a lid.

In addition, if the pedestal accommodating portion is recessed at a position facing the opening in the pedestal portion, the cosmetics filled in the cosmetic applicator, the mirror, the metal plate, etc. can be accommodated in the pedestal accommodating portion, When the middle plate swings and emerges during use, the opening blocked by the middle plate opens and can be used.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a cosmetic container that has a good appearance, is easy to operate, can be made compact, and can accommodate a large amount of cosmetics. can provide.

The cosmetic container of the present embodiment is used when applying the cosmetic contained in the middle plate to the part to be coated, and is used here as a compact container. In the cosmetic container of the present embodiment, when the user rotates the cosmetic container, the plurality of inner trays appear laterally from the side portion of the cosmetic container (see FIG. 2). A plate is immersed in the cosmetic container (see FIG. 1). A specific description will be given below.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cosmetic container 100 includes a pedestal portion 1, a lid portion 2 facing the pedestal portion 1, a plurality of inner plates 3 disposed between the pedestal portion 1 and the lid portion 2, It has

As shown in FIG. 6, the base portion 1 includes a bottomed tubular portion 6 having rectangular side plates 5 erected on each side surface of a square bottom plate 4 . At the center of the bottom plate 4, a central bearing 7 having a cylindrical shape and receiving a central shaft 12 (described later) of the lid portion 2 is provided. Pins 8 that enter long grooves 20 (described later) of the inner plate 3 project from the four corners of the bottom plate 4 along the side plate 5 at respective positions slightly shifted counterclockwise.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lid portion 2 includes a topped tubular portion 11 in which a rectangular side plate 10 is erected on each side surface of a square upper plate 9 . As shown in FIG. 7, the topped tubular portion 11 has a shape in which the bottomed tubular portion 6 (see FIG. 6) of the base portion 1 is inverted. At the center of the upper plate 9, a central shaft 12 having a cylindrical shape and mounted on the central bearing 7 of the base portion 1 protrudes. At the four corners of the upper plate 9, shaft portions 13 are protrudingly provided as swinging fulcrums of the inner plate 3. As shown in FIG.

The middle plate 3 has a flat plate shape, and as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, has a quadrilateral shape with scalene sides when viewed in the axial direction (vertical view). 3). The inner plate 3 has orthogonal surfaces 14 and 15 orthogonal to each other, an inclined surface 16 connected to the long orthogonal surface 14 at an acute angle, and an inclined surface 17 connected to the short orthogonal surface 15 at an obtuse angle and to the inclined surface 16. and upper and lower surfaces connected to these surfaces.

As shown in FIG. 8 , a container 18 for containing cosmetics is recessed on the upper surface of the inner plate 3 along orthogonal surfaces 14 and 15 and inclined surfaces 16 and 17 that are side surfaces. Cosmetics include, for example, lip gloss, eye shadow, eye color, eyebrow, and the like. In addition, the cosmetic is, for example, a powder cosmetic that is solidified by pressing, or a cosmetic that is fluid when filled but solidifies when cooled. It is a cosmetic that does not flow out from. Note that cosmetics are omitted in the drawings.

A hole 19 through which the shaft portion 13 of the lid portion 2 is inserted penetrates a corner portion between the accommodating portion 18 of the inner plate 3 and the short orthogonal surface 15 and between the orthogonal surfaces 14 and 15 . is provided. As shown in FIG. 9, a long groove 20 extending from a hole 19 along the orthogonal surface 15 toward the inclined surface 17 is formed on the lower surface of the inner tray 3 between the accommodating portion 18 and the orthogonal surface 15. It is recessed so as to loosely fit the pin 8 of the base portion 1 . Although the long groove 20 is provided in communication with the hole 19 here, it does not have to be in communication.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, while placing all the inner plates 3 on the base 1, the pins 8 of the base 1 are loosely fitted in the long grooves 20 (see also FIG. 4), and the inner plate 3 is inclined. The surface 16 and the inclined surface 17 of the adjacent inner plate 3 are brought into contact with each other. In this state, the outer peripheral surface of the side plate 5 of the base portion 1 and the orthogonal surfaces 14 and 15 of the inner plate 3 are flush with each other. In this state, a space through which the central shaft 12 passes is formed between the inner portions of the inner plate 3 . Also, the pin 8 of the base portion 1 is positioned midway in the longitudinal direction inside the long groove 20 here. The pin 8 of the pedestal portion 1 may be positioned at the longitudinal end of the long groove 20 (the end opposite to the rotation limit end described later with which the pin 8 abuts).

In this state, the lid portion 2 is placed over the base portion 1 and the inner plate 3 so as to overlap and match the base portion 1 when viewed in the axial direction. is inserted into the hole 19 of the inner plate 3, and the central shaft 12 of the lid portion 2 is press-fitted into the central bearing 7 of the base portion 1 shown in FIG. 2, a cosmetic container 100 is obtained in which the inner plate 3 is sandwiched and immersed between the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2. As shown in FIG.

A pin 8 provided on the base portion 1, a shaft portion 13 provided on the cover portion 2 and inserted into a hole 19 of the middle plate 3 to serve as a swing fulcrum of the middle plate 3, and a shaft portion 13 provided on the middle plate 3. , and a long groove 20 in which the pin 8 is loosely fitted constitutes a rocking mechanism 21 for rocking the inner plate 3 (see FIGS. 6, 7 and 9). Further, the central shaft 12 and the central bearing 7 constitute a rotation mechanism for relatively rotating the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2 . A relative rotating portion 93 is constituted by the base portion 1 and the cover portion 2 which is superimposed on the base portion 1 and is rotatable relative to the base portion 1 (see FIG. 1).

According to the cosmetic container 100 configured in this way, when using the cosmetic container 100 from the non-use state shown in FIG. The portion 1 is relatively rotated around the central axis P (the central axis of the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2; see FIGS. 4 and 5). Here, it is assumed that the user rotates the lid 2 counterclockwise.

Then, as the lid portion 2 rotates, all of the inner plates 3 move around the shaft portion 13 (see FIG. 5) of the lid portion 2 entering the hole 19 as a swing fulcrum. , and the position of the pin 8 within the long groove 20 moves counterclockwise. As a result, the inner plate 3 emerges from between the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2 to the outside.

Then, when the pin 8 of the base portion 1 abuts against the longitudinal end portion of the long groove 20, the lid portion 2 reaches the limit of rotation, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 2 (see also FIGS. 4 and 5). In this state, almost all of the storage portions 18 of the inner tray 3 are exposed (exposed) to the outside from between the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2 .

In this state, the user applies the cosmetic in the container 18 to a cosmetic applicator such as a puff, tip, brush, or finger, and applies the cosmetic to the applied part such as the skin.

After finishing the application, the user rotates the lid 2 counterclockwise. Then, as the lid portion 2 rotates, all of the inner trays 3 swing around the shaft portion 13 of the lid portion 2 entering the hole 19, and the position of the pin 8 in the long groove 20 moves. , swings clockwise. When the pin 8 of the pedestal 1 moves to the original position of the long groove 20, the inclined surfaces 16 and 17 of the inner plate 3 come into contact with each other (see FIG. 3), and the lid 2 reaches the rotation limit. In this state, all the inner trays 3 are retracted between the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, the plurality of inner plates 3 are arranged along the central axis P between the lid portion 2 and the base portion 1, and the central axis line between the lid portion 2 and the base portion 1 is arranged. By the relative rotation operation around P, the plurality of inner trays 3 are oscillated by the respective oscillating mechanisms 21, and at the same time, emerge laterally from the relative rotation portion 93 consisting of the lid portion 2 and the base portion 1 or move inside the relative rotation portion 93. Because the user is immersed in the game, it looks good and is easy to operate. In addition, since the inner plate 3 is not arranged in multiple stages in this way, the height can be lowered and the size can be reduced. In addition, since the swinging mechanism 21 for swinging the inner plate 3 does not have a configuration in which an arm connected to the central axis of the cosmetic container and extending outward is not arranged to overlap the inner plate in the axial direction, the height of the inner plate is set to the height of the arm. can be lowered by the amount of , and can be made even more compact. Further, the shaft portion 13 serving as the swing fulcrum is located outside between the lid portion 2 and the base portion 1 (more specifically, the shaft portion 13 serving as the swing fulcrum is located radially outside the pin 8). In other words, the line segment connecting the central axis P and the shaft portion 13 is longer than the line segment connecting the central axis P and the pin 8; The plate 3 can be made to appear larger to the outside, the storage part 18 can be enlarged, and a large amount of cosmetics can be stored. In addition, since the inner tray 3 does not overlap with the inner tray 3 when it is exposed, the storage part 18 can be enlarged, and more cosmetics can be stored.

In addition, the lid portion 2 and the base portion 1 are square when viewed in the axial direction, and when the inner tray 3 is inserted, the lid portion 2 and the base portion 1 overlap and match when viewed in the axial direction, so the appearance is good.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. 10 is a perspective view showing a cosmetic container according to a second embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the inner tray is retracted, and FIG. 11 is a state in which the inner tray has emerged from the state shown in FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the pedestal portion and the inner plate in the state of FIG. 10, a partially exploded perspective view of the pedestal portion and the inner plate, and FIG. 13 is the pedestal portion in the state of FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the lid portion in the state of FIG. 11 as seen from below together with the middle plate indicated by the dotted line, FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the base portion, and FIG. 16 is the lid portion. FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are perspective views of the inner plate as seen from below.

As shown in FIG. 10, the cosmetic container 200 of the second embodiment differs from the cosmetic container 100 of the first embodiment in that the square shape in plan view is changed to a circular shape in plan view. A base portion 31 is used instead of 1, a lid portion 32 is used instead of the lid portion 2, and an inner plate 33 is used instead of the inner plate 3, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 15, the pedestal portion 31 includes a bottomed cylindrical portion 36 in which a cylindrical side plate 35 is erected on the side surface of a circular bottom plate 34 . A center bearing 7 similar to that of the first embodiment is provided at the center of the bottom plate 34, and a long groove 50 (described later) of the inner plate 33 is fitted in the outer peripheral side of the bottom plate 34 along the side plate 35 at a slightly inner position. Four entering pins 38 are protruded at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 10, the lid portion 32 includes a topped tubular portion 41 having a cylindrical side plate 40 erected on the side surface of a circular upper plate 39 . As shown in FIG. 16 , the topped tubular portion 41 has a shape obtained by inverting the bottomed tubular portion 36 of the pedestal portion 31 . At the center of the upper plate 39, a central shaft 12 similar to that of the first embodiment is projected. On the outer peripheral side of the upper plate 39 , four shaft portions 43 are projected along the side plate 40 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction and serve as the swing fulcrum of the middle plate 33 . The shaft portion 43 is located outside the pin 38 when viewed in the axial direction. Further, when the inner plate 33 is inserted between the lid portion 32 and the base portion 31 (see FIG. 10), the shaft portion 43 is slightly shifted clockwise from the pin 38 as viewed in the axial direction. .

17 and 18, the middle plate 33 has a substantially fan-like shape when viewed in the axial direction (vertical view), and here, four are provided (see FIG. 12). . The middle plate 33 includes an outer circular arc surface 44, connecting surfaces 46 and 47 connecting both sides of the circular arc surface 44 and the apex of the sector (sides in the axial direction including the vertex), respectively, and an upper surface connected to these surfaces. , with an underside.

As shown in FIG. 17, on the upper surface of the inner plate 33, a container 48 for containing cosmetics is recessed along the arcuate surface 44 and the connecting surface 46, and extends from the top of the fan toward the arcuate surface 44. It is recessed so as to gradually separate from the connecting surface 47 while curving accordingly.

Further, a hole 49 through which the shaft portion 43 of the lid portion 32 enters is provided at a position closer to the arc surface 44 and closer to the receiving portion 48 between the accommodating portion 48 and the connecting surface 47 of the inner plate 33 . ing. As shown in FIG. 18, a long groove 50 extending obliquely from the hole 49 toward the connecting surface 47 is formed on the lower surface of the inner plate 33 between the accommodating portion 48 and the connecting surface 47. It is recessed so as to loosely fit the pin 38 of the base portion 31 . Although the long groove 50 is provided in communication with the hole 49 here, it does not have to be in communication.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, while placing all the inner plates 33 on the base portion 31, the pins 38 of the base portion 31 are loosely fitted in the long grooves 50 (see also FIG. 13), and the inner plates 33 are connected. The surface 46 and the connecting surface 47 of the adjacent inner plate 33 are brought into contact with each other. In this state, the outer peripheral surface of the side plate 35 of the base portion 31 and the arcuate surface 44 of the inner plate 33 are flush with each other. In this state, a space through which the central shaft 12 passes is formed between the inner portions of the inner plate 33, as in the first embodiment. Further, the pin 38 of the base portion 31 is positioned midway in the longitudinal direction inside the long groove 50 here. The pin 38 of the pedestal portion 31 may be positioned at the longitudinal end of the long groove 50 (the end opposite to the rotation limit end described later with which the pin 38 abuts).

In this state, similarly to the first embodiment, the cover portion 32 is placed on the base portion 31 and the inner plate 33 so as to overlap and match the base portion 31 when viewed in the axial direction. , the shaft portion 43 of the lid portion 32 is inserted into the hole 49 of the inner plate 33, and the central shaft 12 of the lid portion 32 is press-fitted into the central bearing 7 of the base portion 31 shown in FIG. 10, the cosmetic container 200 in which the inner plate 33 is sandwiched between the base portion 31 and the lid portion 32 is obtained.

A pin 38 provided on the pedestal portion 31, a shaft portion 43 provided on the lid portion 32 and inserted into a hole 49 of the middle plate 33 to serve as a swing fulcrum of the middle plate 33, and a shaft portion 43 provided on the middle plate 33. , and a long groove 50 in which the pin 38 is loosely fitted constitutes a swinging mechanism 51 (see FIGS. 15, 16 and 18) for swinging the intermediate plate 33. As shown in FIG. Also, the base portion 31 and the lid portion 32 constitute a relative rotation portion 94 (see FIG. 10).

According to the cosmetic container 200 configured in this way, when using it from the non-use state shown in FIG. The portion 31 is relatively rotated around the central axis P (the central axis of the base portion 31 and the lid portion 32; see FIGS. 13 and 14). Here, it is assumed that the user rotates the lid portion 32 counterclockwise.

Then, as the cover portion 32 rotates, all of the inner plates 33 move around the shaft portion 43 (see FIG. 14) of the cover portion 32 entering the hole 49 as a swing fulcrum. , and the position of the pin 38 within the long groove 50 is moved and oscillated counterclockwise. As a result, the inner plate 33 emerges from between the pedestal portion 31 and the lid portion 32 to the outside.

When the pin 38 of the pedestal 31 abuts against the longitudinal end of the long groove 50, the lid 32 reaches the limit of rotation, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 11 (see also FIGS. 13 and 14). In this state, almost all of the housing portions 48 of all the inner plates 33 are exposed (exposed) to the outside from between the base portion 31 and the lid portion 32 .

Application is performed in this state, and when the application is completed, the user rotates the lid 32 counterclockwise. Then, as the lid portion 32 rotates, all of the inner trays 33 swing around the shaft portion 43 of the lid portion 32 entering the hole 49, and the pin 38 moves in the long groove 50. , swings clockwise. When the pin 38 of the base portion 31 moves to the original position of the long groove 50, the connecting surfaces 46 and 47 of the inner plate 33 come into contact with each other (see FIG. 12), and the lid portion 32 reaches the rotation limit. In this state, all the inner plates 33 are retracted between the pedestal portion 31 and the lid portion 32, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

Even in the cosmetic container 200 of the second embodiment, the same functions and effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. That is, a plurality of inner plates 33 are arranged along the central axis P between the lid portion 32 and the pedestal portion 31, and relative rotation operation between the lid portion 32 and the pedestal portion 31 about the central axis line causes the plurality of inner trays 33 to rotate. The inner plate 33 is oscillated by each of the oscillating mechanisms 51, and at the same time, it emerges sideways from the relatively rotating portion 94 consisting of the lid portion 32 and the pedestal portion 31 or sinks into the relatively rotating portion 94. Moreover, it is easy to operate. In addition, since the middle plate 33 is not arranged in multiple stages in this way, the height can be lowered and the size can be reduced. In addition, since the swinging mechanism 51 for swinging the inner plate 33 does not have a structure in which an arm connected to the central axis of the cosmetic container and extending outward is not arranged to overlap and connect the inner plate in the axial direction. can be lowered by the amount of , and can be made even more compact. In addition, since the shaft portion 43 serving as the swinging fulcrum is located outside between the lid portion 32 and the base portion 31, the inner plate 33 can be made to protrude further outward, and the storage portion 48 can be enlarged to increase the size of the cosmetic. can accommodate a lot of In addition, since the inner tray 33 does not overlap when the inner tray 33 is exposed, the storage section 48 can be enlarged, and more cosmetics can be stored.

In addition, the pedestal portion 31 and the lid portion 32 have a circular shape when viewed in the axial direction, and are overlapped and coincident with each other, so that they look good.

In addition, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, since there is no arm for swinging the inner plates 3, 33, the inner plates 3, 33 can be immersed up to the vicinity of the central axis 12, resulting in the large inner plates 3, 33. As a result, the storage portions 18 and 48 can be enlarged, and more cosmetics can be stored.

Incidentally, in the first and second embodiments, the central shaft 12 is provided in the lid portions 2 and 32 and the central bearing 7 is provided in the pedestal portions 1 and 31, but the central shaft 12 is provided in the pedestal portions 1 and 31. , the central bearing 7 may be provided in the cover portion 2,32.

Further, in the first and second embodiments, the pedestals 1 and 31 are configured to include the bottomed cylindrical portions 6 and 36, and the cover portions 2 and 32 are configured to include the topped cylindrical portions 11 and 41. The pedestals 1, 31 and the lids 2, 32 may be flat plates having a predetermined thickness.

Next, a third embodiment will be described. 19 is a perspective view showing a cosmetic container according to a third embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the inner tray is retracted, and FIG. 20 is a state in which the inner tray has emerged from the state shown in FIG. 21 is a perspective view showing the pedestal portion and the inner plate in the state of FIG. 19, a part of which is an exploded perspective view of the pedestal portion and the inner plate, and FIG. 22 is the pedestal portion in the state of FIG. 23 is a perspective view of the lid portion and the middle plate in the state of FIG. 20 as seen from below, FIG. 24 is a perspective view of the base portion, and FIG. 25 is a bottom view of the lid portion. 26 and 27 are views showing the inner plate, and FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVIII--XXVIII in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 19, the cosmetic container 300 of the third embodiment differs from the cosmetic container 200 of the second embodiment in that a base portion 61 is provided instead of the base portion 31, and a lid portion is provided instead of the lid portion 32. 62 and a middle plate 63 are used in place of the middle plate 33. Generally speaking, the middle plate 63 also functions as a lid, and the rotation mechanism for relatively rotating the pedestal portion 61 and the lid portion 62 is It differs from the second embodiment in that it is located on the outer peripheral side from the position of the central axis P of the second embodiment.

Also, the pin 68 of the pedestal portion 61 is positioned midway in the longitudinal direction inside the elongated hole 80 here. The pin 68 of the pedestal portion 61 may be positioned at the longitudinal end of the elongated hole 80 (the end opposite to the rotation limit end, which will be described later, with which the pin 68 abuts).

In this state, the cover portion 62 is placed on the base portion 61 and the inner plate 63 so as to overlap and match the base portion 61 when viewed in the axial direction. is inserted into the hole 79 of the inner plate 63, and as shown in FIG. As shown in 19, the cosmetic container 300 with the inner plate 63 immersed in the opening 84 is obtained.

A pin 68 provided on the pedestal portion 61, a shaft portion 73 provided on the cover portion 62 and inserted into a hole 79 of the middle plate 63 to serve as a swing fulcrum of the middle plate 63, and a shaft portion 73 provided on the middle plate 63. A long hole 80 in which a pin 68 is loosely fitted constitutes a swinging mechanism 81 (see FIGS. 24 and 25 to 27) for swinging the middle plate 63. As shown in FIG. Also, the base portion 61 and the lid portion 62 constitute a relative rotation portion 95 (see FIG. 19).

According to the cosmetic container 300 configured in this way, in the non-use state shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 19 and 28, the opening 83 of the lid portion 62 is closed from the pedestal portion 61 side.

When using from this state, the user holds the lid portion 62 and the pedestal portion 61, respectively, and aligns the lid portion 62 and the pedestal portion 61 with the central axis P (the central axis of the pedestal portion 61 and the lid portion 62; 21 and FIG. 28). Here, it is assumed that the user rotates the lid 62 counterclockwise.

Then, as the cover portion 62 rotates, all the inner plates 63 rotate with the shaft portion 73 of the cover portion 62 entering the hole 79 as a swinging fulcrum. The position of the pin 68 within the elongated hole 80 moves and swings counterclockwise. come.

When the pin 68 of the pedestal portion 61 abuts against the longitudinal end of the long hole 80, the lid portion 62 reaches the limit of rotation, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 20 (see also FIGS. 22 and 23). In this state, almost all of the accommodating portions 78 of all the inner plates 63 are exposed (exposed) to the outside through the openings 84 .

In this state, the opening 83 closed by the inner plate 63 is opened, and the cosmetic applicator, the mirror, and the cosmetic in the pedestal housing portion 66 can be used.

Then, after the end of use, the user rotates the lid portion 62 counterclockwise. Then, as the lid portion 62 rotates, all the inner trays 63 pivot on the shaft portion 73 of the lid portion 62 entering the hole 79, and the position of the pin 68 in the elongated hole 80 moves. while rotating clockwise. When the pin 68 of the base portion 61 moves to the original position of the long hole 80, the connecting surfaces 76 and 77 of the inner plate 63 come into contact with each other (see FIG. 21), and the lid portion 62 becomes the rotation limit. In this state, all the inner trays 63 are retracted into the openings 84 of the lid portion 62 forming the relative rotation portion 95, resulting in the state shown in FIG.

The opening 84 of the lid portion 62 can also be provided in the pedestal portion 61 that constitutes the relative rotation portion 95 .

That is, a plurality of inner trays 63 are arranged along the central axis P between the lid portion 62 and the pedestal portion 61, and the lid portion 62 and the pedestal portion 61 are rotated relative to each other about the central axis P. Since the inner plate 63 is oscillated by each of the oscillating mechanisms 81 and at the same time emerges laterally from or sinks into the relatively rotating portion 95 consisting of the lid portion 62 and the base portion 61, the appearance is good. and easy to operate. In addition, since the middle plate 63 is not arranged in multiple stages in this way, the height can be lowered and the size can be reduced. In addition, since the swinging mechanism 81 for swinging the inner plate 63 does not have a configuration in which an arm connected to the central axis of the cosmetic container and extending outward is not arranged to overlap and connect the inner plate in the axial direction. can be lowered by the amount of , and can be made even more compact. In addition, since the shaft portion 73 serving as the swinging fulcrum is located outside between the lid portion 62 and the base portion 61, the inner plate 63 can be made to protrude further outward, and the storage portion 78 can be enlarged to increase the size of the cosmetic. can accommodate a lot of In addition, since the inner tray 63 does not overlap with the inner tray 63 when it is exposed, the storage portion 78 can be enlarged, and a larger amount of cosmetics can be stored.

In addition, the lid portion 62 has an opening 83 in the center, and when the middle plate 63 is inserted, the opening 83 is closed by the housing portion 78 of the middle plate 63 and the inner portion 92 of the elongated hole 80 . Therefore, the housing portion 78 of the middle plate 63 and the inner portion 92 of the elongated hole 80 can also be used as a lid.

In addition, since the pedestal housing portion 66 is recessed at a position facing the opening portion 83 in the pedestal portion 61, the cosmetics filled in the cosmetic applicator, the mirror, the metal plate, or the like can be placed in the pedestal housing portion 66. When the inner tray 63 swings and appears during use, the opening 83 closed by the inner tray 63 is opened, and can be used.

It should be noted that the rotation mechanism of the third embodiment can also be applied to the first and second embodiments. According to this, the outer shape of the inner trays 3, 33 of the first and second embodiments can be expanded toward the central axis P similarly to the inner trays 63, and the storage portions 18, 48 can be enlarged, so that the cosmetics can be stored even more. Can accommodate a lot.
