Problems the invention is trying to solve

[0004] Since brushes and the like have various shapes and dimensions, it is difficult for a user to grasp the brush and the like by hand, and the size of the container according to the brush and the like is small and thin. Therefore, it may be similarly difficult to grasp by hand. Furthermore, when used in a narrow place, it may be difficult to remove a brush or the like from the container, even if the container has sufficient size. Further, as proposed in the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,135,012, in a structure in which a brush or the like is held in a container by magnetic force, the brush or the like is removed from the container by force. There is power.

[0005] Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic erecting structure of a rod-shaped member that makes it easy to take out a brush or the like from a container while satisfying the requirement that the brush or the like fall from the container and to provide such a structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method capable of easily manufacturing a rod-shaped member. Means for solving the problem

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, an automatic erecting structure of a rod-shaped member according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a rod part having one end and the other end, and an erecting part provided on one end side of the rod part. A rod that can be accommodated in a recumbent state with the rod-shaped member lying thereon, and a lid that can be opened and closed with a mounting surface provided with an erecting operation surface for the erecting action part of the rod-shaped member to perform an erect operation; A container having a body, wherein the upright acting portion of the rod-shaped member has a rolling surface capable of rolling in the upright direction of the rod-shaped member on the upright operation surface, and the rod-shaped member having a more rod-like shape than the rolling surface. An upright support surface is formed adjacent to the tip of one end of the member, and a first magnet is provided near the upright support surface with the first magnetic pole facing one end, and the first magnetic pole is provided. Magnetic force is acting on the upright support surface, and is close to the upright operation surface. Is provided with a second magnet or a ferromagnetic material having a second magnetic pole opposite to the first magnetic pole facing upward, the magnetic force of the second magnetic pole acting on the upright operation surface, and the rod-shaped member is The magnetic attraction between the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the second magnetic pole of the second magnet, or the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the ferromagnetic material, The rolling surface constantly receives an urging force that rotates in the upright direction so that the rolling surface rolls on the upright operating surface and can automatically shift from the lying state to the upright state. When the door is closed, an upright restricting portion is provided which can stake the urging force in the upright direction to maintain the rod-shaped member in a lying state within the mounting surface.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the second magnetic pole of the second magnet, or the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the ferromagnetic material Due to the magnetic attraction force during the period, an urging force rotating in the upright direction is constantly applied to the rolling surface. When the lid is closed, the biasing force causes the rod-shaped member to move in the upright direction in an attempt to rotate in the upright direction, because the upright restricting portion of the lid comes into contact with the other end of the rod-shaped member. . When the lid of the container is opened from this state, the rolling surface rolls on the standing operation surface due to the urging force, and the rod-shaped portion is formed. The material automatically transitions from the lying state to the standing state and stands up. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the bar-shaped member, and can easily take out the container force. Further, since the rod-shaped member is attracted to the container by the magnetic attraction, there is little danger of the rod-shaped member falling due to vibration when the lid is opened or the container being tilted.

[0008] Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, a rod-shaped member having a rod portion having one end and the other end, and a standing action portion provided on one end side of the rod portion, and a rod-shaped member in a reclined state. A container that can be accommodated and has a mounting surface having an erecting operation surface for the erecting action part of the rod-shaped member to perform an erecting operation, and a container having a lid body capable of opening and closing an opening of the mounting surface. The erecting action portion of the rod-shaped member is provided with a rolling surface capable of rolling in the erecting direction of the rod-shaped member on the erecting operation surface, and an end closer to one end of the rod-shaped member than the rolling surface. An upright bearing surface, a ferromagnetic material is provided in the vicinity of the upright bearing surface, and a second magnet is provided in the vicinity of the upright operation surface, and the magnetic force of the second magnet is applied to the upright bearing. Acting on an operating surface, the rod-shaped member includes the ferromagnetic material, the second magnet, Due to the magnetic attraction force, the rolling surface rolls on the upright operating surface and receives an urging force that always rotates in the upright direction so that it can automatically transition from the lying state to the upright state, The lid of the container has an upright restricting portion capable of maintaining the rod-shaped member in a lying state on the mounting surface against a biasing force in the upright direction when the lid is closed. is there.

[0009] According to this embodiment, the same operation and effect as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

[0010] Further, the automatic erecting structure of the rod-shaped member according to the third aspect of the present invention is the same as the first or second aspect, wherein the erecting action portion of the rod-shaped member is formed of a spherical or elliptical magnet. And one of the magnetic pole points having the highest magnetic force density of the magnet is arranged as a first magnetic pole of the first magnet so as to be located immediately below when the rod-shaped member stands up. The curved surface around the magnetic pole point acting as one magnetic pole is a rolling surface. According to this aspect, since the upright action portion is spherical or elliptical, a curved surface extending 360 degrees around the magnetic pole point is a rolling surface. Therefore, when storing the rod-shaped member on the mounting surface, the rod-shaped member can be placed without worrying about the orientation of the rod-shaped member.

[0011] Further, in the automatic upright structure of the rod-shaped member according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the lid may be a rotating shaft. Can be opened and closed by pivoting around the periphery of the cover, and the upright operation surface is located near the pivot axis of the lid on the placing surface described above, and the pivotal movement when the rod-shaped member shifts from the upright state to the recumbent state. The direction is the same as the turning direction of the lid from the open state to the closed state. According to this aspect, when closing the mounting surface lid, the upright restricting portion of the lid comes into contact with the other end of the rod-shaped member only by slightly turning the lid downward. Thereafter, when the lid is further rotated, the rod-shaped member is also rotated in the same direction to be in a lying state on the mounting surface. Therefore, the user does not need to assist his hand to determine the direction in which the rod-shaped member falls down. The user can move the rod-shaped member from the upright state to the recumbent state only by closing the lid with one hand.

[0012] Further, in the automatic erecting structure of a rod-shaped member according to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the erecting action part is provided on one end side of a cap, and the other end of the cap is provided with one end of the rod part. An opening conforming to the shape is formed. According to this aspect, the standing action portion can be provided on the cap, which is another member, without being provided on the rod-shaped member in advance. Therefore, the rod-shaped member and the cap can be manufactured separately, and the cap can be attached to the rod-shaped member later. Further, if the cap is manufactured according to an existing rod-shaped member such as a cosmetic brush, the automatic upright structure of the present invention can be retrofitted to the existing rod-shaped member.

[0013] Further, in the automatic upright structure of the rod-shaped member according to the sixth aspect of the present invention, in the first, third and fifth aspects, the first rod-shaped member and the second rod-shaped member are provided on the mounting surface. The first and second upright operation surfaces are formed for the first and second bar members, and the first and second upright operation surfaces are formed for the first and second bar members. The magnets in the first rod-shaped member and the magnets in the second rod-shaped member are not attracted to each other when the upright action portions of the first and second rod-shaped members are located on the respective upright operation surfaces. It is characterized by being placed at a distance from the camera. If the two rod-shaped members are placed on the mounting surface in a state where the magnet in the first rod-shaped member and the magnet in the second rod-shaped member are close to each other, the magnets of the two rod-shaped members are attracted to each other. In some cases, the automatic upright action of the bar-shaped member as described in the above may not be exhibited. According to this aspect, since the two upright operation surfaces are separated to such an extent that the magnets of the two rod-shaped members do not attract each other, each rod-shaped member is opened when the lid is opened. Can stand independently without interfering with each other. Therefore, when using each bar-shaped member, the user can take out the two types of bar-shaped members smoothly without being confused.

[0014] In the automatic upright structure for a bar-like member according to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the above-mentioned sixth aspect, the first rod-like member and the second rod-like member may be in an upright state lying state. Are characterized in that they rotate toward each other when moving to the other. According to this aspect, since one end sides of the first rod-shaped member and the second rod-shaped member can be arranged at both ends of the mounting surface, the mounting surface storage space of the two rod-shaped members can be minimized. can do.

[0015] Further, an automatic erecting structure of a rod-shaped member according to an eighth aspect of the present invention includes a rod-shaped member including a rod part having one end and the other end, and an erecting action part provided at one end of the rod part. A container including a mounting surface and a lid capable of opening and closing a surface facing the mounting surface, wherein the standing action portion has a first magnet having a part of a spherical surface or an elliptical spherical surface, The first magnet is attached to one end of a rod such that a part of the spherical surface or the ellipsoidal surface of the first magnet is oriented toward the mounting surface when the rod-shaped member stands, and the first magnet is mounted on the rod. The surface has an erecting operation surface on which the rod-shaped member performs an erecting operation, and a second magnet that exerts a magnetic force near the erecting operation surface, and the first magnet and the second magnet are formed by the rod-shaped member. The magnetic poles facing when standing on the upright operation surface are different, and the magnetic poles of the first magnet and the second magnet are different. By the force suction force, a biasing force is applied so that the rod-shaped member always rotates in the upright direction so that the rod-shaped member can automatically shift from the lying state to the standing state, and when the lid is opened, the rod-shaped member is caused by the biasing force. The member stands up, and when the lid is closed, the rod-shaped member can be maintained in a lying state in the container against the urging force.

[0016] According to the present aspect, the biasing force that rotates in the upright direction always acts on the rolling surface due to the magnetic attraction between the first magnet and the second magnet. When the lid is closed, the biasing force causes the rod-shaped member to try to rotate in the upright direction because the upright restricting portion of the lid comes into contact with the other end of the rod-shaped member. . When the lid of the container is opened, the urging force causes the rolling surface to roll on the standing motion surface, and the rod-shaped member to lie down. Automatically transitions from the standing state to the standing state. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the rod-shaped member, and can easily take out the container force. In addition, since the rod-shaped member is attracted to the container by magnetic attraction, there is little danger of the rod-shaped member falling due to vibration when the lid is opened or the container being tilted. In addition, since the standing action portion has a part of a spherical surface or an elliptical spherical surface, a curved surface extending 360 degrees around the magnetic pole point is a rolling surface. Therefore, when the bar-shaped member is accommodated on the mounting surface, it can be placed without worrying about the orientation of the bar-shaped member.

[0017] Further, a method of manufacturing a rod-shaped member according to a ninth aspect of the present invention is a method of attaching the first magnet to one end of the rod-shaped member, wherein the rod-shaped member stands on an upright support surface. A step of preparing a work surface having a magnetic pole opposite to the magnetic pole of the first magnet facing the second magnet, and placing the first magnet having a part of a spherical surface or an ellipsoidal spherical surface on the work surface in a natural state And a step of bringing one end side of the rod portion into contact with the upper surface of the first magnet from directly above the first magnet mounted on the work surface and bonding the same with an adhesive. It is characterized by the following.

According to this aspect, when the first magnet is placed on the prepared work surface in a natural state, the magnetic pole of the first magnet that is attracted to the upward magnetic pole of the work surface naturally faces downward. Accordingly, in this state, by sticking one end of the rod to the upper surface of the first magnet with an adhesive or the like, a rod-shaped member with the first magnet can be easily produced.

[0019] Further, in the automatic erecting structure of the rod-shaped member according to the tenth aspect of the present invention, in any one of the above-described first to thirteenth and fifth aspects, the lid may rotate around a rotation axis. The upright support surface of the rod-shaped member is flat, and when the upright support surface is facing the upright operation surface, the upright support surface of the bar-shaped member is flat. The rod-shaped member is inclined toward the rotation axis of the lid, and the rod-shaped member falls down from the upright state to the rotation axis side in interlocking with the closing operation of the lid to lie on the mounting surface. The feature is that it can be transferred to

[0020] According to this aspect, when the lid is to be closed by rotating around the rotation axis, the distal end side of the rod-shaped member comes into contact with the inner surface of the lid so that the rod-shaped member is pressed from above. Thus, the state can be automatically shifted to the lying state on the mounting surface.

[0021] Further, the automatic upright structure of the rod-shaped member according to the eleventh aspect of the present invention includes the above-described first to eleventh embodiments. In any one of Embodiments 5 and 5, the lid can be opened and closed by rotating around a rotation axis, and the upright operation surface is such that the upright support surface of the rod-shaped member faces the upright operation surface. When it is standing upright, the bar-shaped member is formed so as to be inclined or curved linearly so as to be inclined toward the rotation axis of the lid, and interlocked with the closing operation of the lid. The rod-shaped member falls down from the upright state toward the rotating shaft, and can be shifted to the reclined state on the placement surface.

According to this aspect, in the upright state of the rod-shaped member, the upright operation surface is formed to be inclined or curved, so that the rod-shaped member stands up while being inclined toward the rotation axis of the lid. ing . In this state, when the lid is rotated around the rotation axis to close the lid, the distal end of the rod-shaped member comes into contact with the inner surface of the lid and presses the rod-shaped member from above, so that the mounting surface is automatically placed. Can be shifted to the lying state.

[0023] Further, in the automatic erecting structure of the rod-shaped member according to a twelfth aspect of the present invention, in the seventh aspect, the lid can be opened and closed by rotating around a rotation axis. On the inner surface side of the lid, when the lid is closed, the first and second rod-shaped members are brought into contact with the distal end sides of the first and second rod-shaped members so as to rotate the first and second rod-shaped members toward each other. The present invention is characterized in that a rotation guide surface for guiding the vehicle is provided.

[0024] According to this aspect, when the lid is to be rotated around the rotation axis and is to be closed, the distal end sides of the first and second rod-shaped members abut on the rotation guide surface and the first and second rod-shaped members are brought into contact. The two rod members are rotated toward each other. Therefore, by the closing operation of the lid, the first and second rod-shaped members can be automatically shifted to the reclining state on the mounting surface.

[0025] Further, in the automatic erecting structure of the bar-shaped member according to the thirteenth aspect of the present invention, in the first to twelfth aspects, the container is a case main body of a cosmetic compact case, and the rod-shaped member is a decorative body. Or a cosmetic tip.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the automatic standing structure of a bar-shaped member according to the present invention is applied to a compact case for makeup 1. The makeup compact case 1 is mainly used for women to make up when going out, etc., and the case body 3 corresponding to a container and the makeup bracket corresponding to a rod-shaped member are used. And five.

The case body 3 includes a base 7 and a lid 11 that is rotatably connected to the base 7 around a rotation axis 9. When the case body 3 is used, as shown by an arrow A in FIG. The lid 11 is rotated by approximately 90 degrees to open the upper surface side of the base 7, that is, the open portion 8, while the lid 11 is rotated in the direction shown by the arrow B when not in use, and The locking piece 13 formed is snap-fastened to a locking lock portion 15 formed on the base 7 so that the lid 11 can be maintained in a closed state.

[0028] A makeup pad 17 is provided on the upper surface side of the base 7 near the rotation shaft 9, and a mounting surface 19 for accommodating the makeup brush 5 is provided on the locking lock 15 side. I have. A mirror 21 is provided on the facing side of the lid 11. By the way, such a cosmetic compact case 1 itself is conventionally known, and the cosmetic powder solidified in the cosmetic pad 17 by the user using the cosmetic brush 5 is used by the brush portion of the cosmetic brush 5. It is also known in the art to use it after applying it to the face.

Hereinafter, a characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described. A feature of the present invention is that, when the lid 11 is opened, the cosmetic brush 5 housed on the mounting surface 19 automatically stands up as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, in order to explain a configuration for producing such an effect, in this specification, the state in which the cosmetic brush 5 is stored in a state substantially parallel to the mounting surface 19 is referred to as a “lying state”. The state in which the brush 5 for makeup is turned up from the reclined state is referred to as a “standing state”. The lying state does not necessarily mean the horizontal state. In addition, the standing state does not mean only the state in which the robot is turned 90 degrees from the recumbent state and rises up. It is a concept that includes a state.

[0030] Under the mounting surface 19 of the base 7, cylindrical magnets 23 are provided at both left and right ends as viewed from the front. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cylindrical magnet 23 is built in the lower thick portion of the mounting surface 19, and the N pole 24 of the cylindrical magnet 23 is located above, that is, the mounting surface 19. It is arranged to face the side. In the present invention, the N pole of the cylindrical magnet 23 is set up in a range (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1) on the mounting surface 19 on which the S pole or ferromagnetic material of another magnet can be attracted. Defined as face 25. In this embodiment, both ends of the mounting surface 19 are respectively cylindrical magnets. A stone 23 is provided, and correspondingly, two upright operation surfaces 25 are formed, but this is used to store the makeup brush 5 on the mounting surface 19 again after use. In this case, the standing operation of the cosmetic brush 5 occurs even if the user stores the cosmetic brush 5 in any direction. Therefore, unless such convenience is taken into consideration, a configuration in which the cylindrical magnet 23 is provided only at one end of the mounting surface 19 may be employed. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical magnet 23 corresponds to the second magnet, and the N pole of the cylindrical magnet 23 corresponds to the second magnetic pole. The shape of the magnet corresponding to the second magnet may be any shape other than the cylindrical shape, and such a magnet may be provided on the mounting surface, directly below the mounting surface, or on the rear surface side of the case body 3. For example, any point where magnetic force acts on the standing operation surface may be used.

[0031] The cosmetic brush 5 includes a rod portion 27 having one end and the other end, a brush portion 29 formed on the other end side of the rod portion 27, and a spherical magnet 31 corresponding to a first magnet. I have. The spherical magnet 31 is adhered to one end of the rod portion 27 using an adhesive 33 so that the S pole faces directly downward in the upright state. The S pole of the spherical magnet 31 corresponds to the first magnetic pole of the first magnet. Since the lower half side of the spherical magnet 31 is made up of a hemispherical surface in the upright state of the cosmetic brush 5, the hemispherical surface rolls when the cosmetic brush 5 transitions from the lying state to the upright state. . The surface that produces a rolling action between the lying state and the standing state in this manner is referred to as a rolling surface 32 in the present invention. In the present embodiment, the entire lower hemispherical surface of the makeup brush 5 in the upright state can be a rolling surface.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, when the cosmetic brush 5 is in the upright state, the portion where the spherical magnet 31 is in contact with the upright operating surface 25 and supports the cosmetic brush 5 is particularly used in the present invention. It will be referred to as “standing bearing surface 35”. In this embodiment, since the spherical magnet 31 is used, the upright bearing surface 35 is theoretically present in a point shape. However, if it is desired to further stabilize the upright state of the cosmetic brush 5, the upright bearing surface 35 is used. 35 may be flat. In the present invention, the upright support surface 35 is located closer to the tip of the one end side of the cosmetic brush 5 than the rolling surface 32 and adjacent to the rolling surface 32.

[0033] As described above, the makeup brush 5 is used for the rolling operation from the lying state to the standing state due to the presence of the rolling surface 32, and the sphere acting to attract the cylindrical magnet 23 acting on the standing operation surface. Due to the magnet attracting action of the shaped magnet 31, the urging force is automatically applied to the body from the lying state to the standing state, that is, to automatically rotate in the standing direction. In the present invention, the portion of the rod-shaped member that generates a magnet attracting action between the above-described rolling operation and the magnet on the upright operation surface side is referred to as an “upstanding operation section 34”.

As shown by a dashed line in FIG. 1, an upright surface of the lid 11, that is, a surface on which the mirror 21 is provided, is provided with an upright restricting portion 37 at an upper right portion of the mirror 21 and around the mirror 21. When the lid 11 is closed as shown in FIG. 3A, the upright restricting section 37 stakes the urging force of the makeup brush 5 in the rising direction and places the makeup brush 5 on the mounting surface 19. It is a surface that acts to maintain a recumbent state.

[0035] The cosmetic compact case 1 has the above-described configuration. Hereinafter, the operation of the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member of the present invention will be described while describing the use state of the cosmetic compact case 1. I do.

When not in use, the cosmetic compact case 1 is in a closed state in which the lid 11 is turned on the open portion 8 of the base 7 as shown in FIG. 3 (a). At this time, the makeup brush 5 is lying on the mounting surface 19 with the upright action portion 34 positioned on the upright operation surface 25, and the above-mentioned turning operation and the magnet on the upright operation surface side The movement to automatically rotate in the upright direction caused by the magnet attraction action between the two is restricted by the presence of the upright restricting portion 37 of the lid 11.

When the user starts to open the lid 11 from this state as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the restriction on the movement of the makeup brush 5 in the rising direction by the rising regulation section 37 is released, and the makeup brush 5 automatically rises upright.

[0038] As shown in Fig. 3 (c) and Fig. 2, when the lid 11 is turned approximately 90 degrees to be in the open state, the cosmetic brush 5 is turned by the urging force in the upright direction of the cosmetic brush 5. It stands almost vertically. At this time, since the S pole 36 of the spherical magnet 31 faces the N pole 24 of the cylindrical magnet 23 and is attracted by the mutual magnetic force, the vibration when the lid 11 is opened, the shaking of the makeup brush 5 due to the standing motion, etc. This prevents the makeup brush 5 from accidentally dropping from the mounting surface 19.

In the state shown in FIG. 3 (c), the user can easily pinch the cosmetic brush 5 with his finger. Therefore, the cosmetic brush 5 can be taken out from the mounting surface 19 and used as appropriate. After the user uses the cosmetic brush 5, the user turns the lid 11 to the closed state while pressing the cosmetic brush 5 on the mounting surface 19 with a finger, as shown in FIG. It can be returned to the unused state shown. Note that, as described above, in the present embodiment, since the two standing operation surfaces 25 are formed at both ends of the mounting surface 19, the cosmetic brush 5 is mounted on the mounting surface 19 in any direction. You can put it.

As described above, one embodiment of the automatic upright structure of the bar-shaped member of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention can adopt various other embodiments. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the magnetic poles of the S-pole 36 of the spherical magnet 31 and the N-pole 24 of the cylindrical magnet 23 may be replaced with each other, or the mounting surface 19 or the upright working portion 34 One of the magnets may be replaced with a ferromagnetic material. When the mounting surface 19 is replaced with a ferromagnetic material, the area where the erecting portion 34 can be attracted to the mounting surface 19 by the action of the magnet on the erecting portion 34 becomes the erecting operation surface 25. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the force S can be applied to dispose the upright operation surface 25 at the end of the mounting surface 19 near the rotation axis 9. According to such an embodiment, since the turning direction when the cosmetic brush 5 shifts from the standing state to the lying state is the same as the turning direction when the lid 11 is closed, the lid 11 is closed. When it starts, the upright restricting portion 37 of the lid 11 abuts on the cosmetic brush 5, and the cosmetic brush 5 rotates in the same direction as the lid 11 and lies on the mounting surface 19. Therefore, there is no need for the user to press down the cosmetic brush 5 with a finger to determine the rotation direction when the lid 11 starts closing.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), it is possible to store the makeup brush 5a and the makeup tip 5b side by side. In this case, the upright operation surface 25a for the cosmetic brush 5a is arranged on one end side of the mounting surface 19, and the upright operation surface 25b for the cosmetic tip 5b is installed on the other end side of the mounting surface 19. By arranging the standing operation surface 25a and the standing operation surface 25b apart in this way, the spherical magnet 31a of the cosmetic brush 5a and the spherical magnet 31b of the cosmetic chip 5b are not attracted to each other by magnetic force, so that the lid The standing operation can be performed without any trouble when the eleventh opening is performed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), a force S can be exerted to provide the upright operating surface 25 on the member that is turned up and raised. In this example, for convenience, the member on the side that is rotated and opened upward is used as the base 7 and The member that is in a horizontal state when moving will be referred to as a lid 11. In this example, the mounting surfaces 19a and 19b are formed on the left side and the right side of the base 7 which rises by rotating when viewed from the front, respectively, and the erecting operation surfaces 25a and 25b are engaged with the mounting surfaces 19a and 19b. It is formed at the end near the piece 13.

And then closed. The two makeup brushes 5a and 5b are arranged side by side along an imaginary line substantially parallel to the rotation axis 9 of the lid 11. On the inner surface side of the lid 11 (the surface on the mirror 21 side), a turning guide surface 45 is formed above the mirror 21 so as to be curved so that the center side is upward when viewed from the front.

When the lid 11 is closed, the rotation guide surface 45 is provided with the two standing makeup brushes 5a, 5a. The brush makes contact with the brush portion 29 of b, and guides the two makeup brushes 5a and 5b to rotate toward each other as shown by the arrow 47 toward the other makeup brushes 5a and 5b. As shown in FIG. 10 (b), when the lid 11 is closed by rotating the lid 11 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 10 (b), the two makeup brushes 5a and 5b are The side opposite to the rotation shaft 9 as viewed from the side is curved so as to extend further downward so as to restrict the leftward rotation of 10 (b).

With such a configuration, when closing the lid 11 from the upright state of the cosmetic brushes 5a and 5b indicated by phantom lines in FIG. 10A, the inner surface of the lid 11 (the surface on the mirror 21 side) Abuts the brush portions 29 of the makeup brushes 5a and 5b, and then further rotates the lid 11 in the closing direction, so that the makeup brushes 5a and 5b gradually rise up in conjunction with the closing operation of the lid 11. When the state is shifted from the state to the lying state, and the lid 11 is finally closed, the makeup brushes 5a and 5b are lying in the placing surface 19. In this embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9, the makeup brushes 5a and 5b may be configured to be inclined in the upright state.
