FIG. 9 shows a modified example of the storage container constituting the compact set. The storage container 3' shown here includes a flat rectangular cylindrical box 36 and a partition wall 26 that partitions the storage section 26. It is composed of three members: a partition plate 37 having a locking mechanism _G2 , and an end plate 39 having an opening 38 for inserting the cartridge 2.

As explained above, the present invention has the following excellent effects.

(b) When the cartridge is inserted into the storage chamber of the container body that constitutes the compact container and pushed all the way in, the cartridge is locked by the locking mechanism provided in the storage chamber, so when using the compact container, The cartridge does not easily fall out of the container body, and when the lid is closed with the cartridge stored in the container body, the peripheral wall of the lid engages with the protruding edge on the top surface of the cartridge. In addition to the locking mechanism provided in the storage chamber, the cartridge is prevented from coming off in the drawing direction by the peripheral wall of the lid. As a result, the cartridge can be reliably prevented from falling out even if vibrations are applied when carrying the compact container, or even if a force in the pulling direction is applied to the cartridge through the partition of the container body. .
Therefore, even if the compact container is carried around in a bag or the like, it is possible to reliably eliminate the inconvenience of the cartridge locking mechanism coming off and the cartridge inadvertently falling out of the container body.

In particular, in the present invention, the peripheral wall of the lid is engaged with the protruding edge on the top surface of the cartridge, so that one end of the cartridge is exposed from the opening of the container body. In addition to being able to check the storage status of the container without opening the lid, the cartridge is inserted through an opening formed in the peripheral wall of the container body and attached via a locking mechanism. It has excellent effects such as being able to be applied to thin compact containers.

(b) In addition, in the compact set of the present invention, when pulling out a cartridge from a compact container or a storage container, each of these storage parts is formed with a partition part that serves as a handle part when pulling out a cartridge. The cartridge can be pulled out with a fingertip or the like through the partition, and the cartridge can be easily taken out. Moreover, in this invention, since the compact container and the storage container each have a cartridge locking mechanism of the same structure, it is possible to use the cartridge only in combination with these, and it is possible to use a cartridge with a different structure by mistake. In addition, when storing cartridges in these containers, insert the cartridge through the insertion opening in each container, slide it, and secure it using the locking mechanism. Since the operation is simple, the cartridge can be attached and detached easily and reliably. Therefore, in the compact set of the present invention, the operation when replacing the cartridge is extremely simple, and the usability can be improved.

(C) In addition, in the present invention, the cartridge storage sections of the storage container are partitioned into parallel sections by internal partition walls, and are fixed in each storage section via a locking mechanism. So,
There is no risk of the cartridges flapping or rattling when they are stored, and since each cartridge can be taken out individually, the cartridges have the advantage of being easy to organize and easy to use. .
