When the lid body 16 is closed, the lower peripheral edge of the lid 16 is dimensioned to be in close contact with the upper peripheral edge of the recess 8 in which the cosmetic 9 of the inner tray 10 is accommodated.

Further, a mirror 18 is glued to the inner surface of the lid body 16,
Further, a claw piece 19 is integrally formed to hang down from the inner surface of the front end portion of the lid body 16, and a second claw piece 19 is formed on the inner surface of the front end portion of the lid body 16.
An engaging protrusion 20 is integrally formed. Lid body 16
When it is closed from the open state, the claw piece 19 will close the inner plate 1.
The claw piece 19 extends downward through the window hole 15 of 0.
The second engaging protrusion 20 formed on the inner surface of the puff storage tray 2 engages with the first engaging protrusion 7 formed on the inner surface of the notch 6 of the puff storage tray 2, and the lid body 16 is locked. The outer surface of the inner plate 10 is continuous and flush with the outer surface of the inner plate 10, and occupies the state shown in FIG. At this time, as described above, a substantially annular cavity 14 is formed between the upper surface of the puff storage tray 2 and the lower surface of the inner tray 10, except for the hinged portion. This cavity 14 forms part of a ventilation path that communicates the inside of the puff storage tray 2 with the outside air, and the opening area of this cavity 14 is large, and the interior of the puff storage tray 2 is directly connected to the outside without any obstruction. Because it has a configuration that allows it to face the outside and communicate with the outside air,
The air permeability is good and it is possible to quickly dry the damp puff 5 inside. Further, in the compact container of this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the inner tray 10 is connected to the puff storage tray 2.
Since the outer circumferential surface of the plates 2 and 10 is formed on a surface that is substantially the same as or continuous with the outer circumferential surface of the plates 2 and 10, it is possible to assemble the plates 2 and 10 by simply aligning their outer shapes and overlapping them. Good manufacturability can be ensured without requiring any special consideration.

In the present invention, when the inner tray 10 is closed with respect to the puff storage tray 2, the peripheral end surface A or B of at least one of the inner tray and the puff storage tray 10 or 2.
However, the inner plate 10 and the puff storage plate 2 are connected so as to form a space spaced vertically from the surface of the other plate facing the inner plate 10, and for this purpose, a method other than the above-mentioned embodiment is required. Various modifications are possible.

5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the central lower surface 10a of the inner plate 10 is
is located below the level of the upper peripheral end surface B of the puff storage tray 2, but there is a rear end pivoting portion between the lower peripheral end surface A of the inner tray 10 and the upper peripheral end surface B of the puff storage tray 2. and a horizontal substantially annular cavity 1 excluding the front end engaging portion.
4 is formed. The interior of the puff storage tray 2 is communicated with the outside air through this cavity 14. The rest of the configuration is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, so a description thereof will be omitted.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show a third embodiment of the present invention, in which a large number of ventilation holes 21 are bored at the bottom of the puff storage tray 2 in the compact container shown in the first embodiment. ing. The other configurations are substantially the same as in the first embodiment. In the case of this embodiment, air enters the interior of the puff storage tray 2 from below through the small ventilation hole 21, and from there, air enters the air space 1 between the puff storage tray 2 and the inner tray 10 located above.
4, the wet puff 5 can be quickly dried.

In the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, in order to maintain the inner tray 10 horizontally and spaced apart from the puff storage tray 2, the front end of the hinge piece 12 of the inner tray 10 is connected to the rear end wall of the puff storage tray 2. However, there are various other methods that can be considered.For example, a small protrusion with a height corresponding to the height of the cavity 14 is formed on the upper surface of the front end of the puff storage tray 2, and a medium is attached to this protrusion. The lower surface of the front end of the plate 10 may be brought into contact with the plate 10 to maintain the gap.

<<Effects>> As described above, in the compact container according to the present invention, by closing the inner plate to the puff storage plate, the circumferential end surfaces of these plates, which are stacked on top of each other and face each other, are vertically separated from each other, and puffs can be stored. The inner plate and the puff storage plate are connected to each other so as to form a cavity that defines a ventilation path that allows the inside of the plate to directly face the outside in a horizontal direction and communicates with the outside air. A cavity can be formed with a large opening area all around the puff storage tray except for the inside of the puff storage tray, and the inside of the puff storage tray can directly face the outside without any obstruction in this cavity forming the ventilation path. It can communicate with the outside air, improve breathability, and improve ventilation effects.

In addition, since the outer peripheral surface of the inner tray is formed to be substantially the same as or continuous with the outer peripheral surface of the puff storage tray, the two can be assembled by simply aligning the outer shapes of these trays and overlapping them. Therefore, good manufacturability can be ensured without requiring any special consideration for securing a gap during assembly work.
