Among them, powders and tablets containing whitening vitamin C and the like are mixed with liquid cosmetics. There are things to use. However, in this case, if the powder or the like is preliminarily mixed with the liquid cosmetic, its efficacy is lost due to a chemical change of vitamin C or the like. For this reason, when not in use, the powder or the like and the liquid cosmetic are separately housed in a separated state, and when used, it is necessary to mix and use the two.

Therefore, a container disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-105483 is a container in which a powder or the like and a liquid cosmetic are accommodated separately and can be used by mixing them at the time of use. is there. As shown in FIG. 15 and FIG.
a, and a cap 21 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the lower peripheral wall with a screw portion 21a that engages with the screw portion 20a. A cylindrical body 2 extending from the upper end to the vicinity of the bottom in a hanging manner
The bottom cover 23 on which the solid object 26 is placed is tightly and detachably attached to the inner peripheral surface of the lower end of the cylindrical body 22. Further, a skirt-shaped or other screw advancement stopper 24 is provided on the lower surface of the lower peripheral wall of the cap 21,
A push rod 25 is hung from the inner surface of the ceiling wall.

When the container is used, the cap 21 is screwed strongly while pushing the screwing stopper 24 open. As a result, the push rod 25 is pushed down, and the push-down of the push rod 25 pushes the bottom cover 23 downward, thereby separating from the lower end of the cylindrical body 22. Then, the solid other object 26 on the bottom lid 23 falls into the liquid 27 of the container body 20 and dissolves in and mixes with the liquid 27. After that, the container main body 20 is held down by hand and tilted downward, and the mixed liquid is taken out from the container main body 20.

However, in the above-described container, since the cylindrical body 22 extends downward from the upper end to the vicinity of the bottom of the container main body 20, when the container main body 20 is inclined downward during use, Part of the liquid in the container main body 20 remains in the space between the inner peripheral surface of the container main body 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 22, and the entire amount cannot be taken out. In addition, since the cylindrical body 22 to which the bottom cover 23 is attached is immersed in the liquid 27, if the bottom cover 23 and the cylindrical body 22 are loosely fitted, an external force such as vibration during transportation or transportation may be reduced. For example, when the liquid 27 is added, the liquid 27 infiltrates from the gap between the bottom lid 23 and the cylindrical body 22 or the bottom lid 23 comes off, and the liquid 27 and the other solid object 26 are mixed before use, and the efficacy is reduced. There is a problem that accidents are likely to occur.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and can store powder and the like in a state where the powder and the like are separated from each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-component mixing container in which the contents and the like are not mixed with each other and the whole contents of the container body can be taken out at the time of use.
