[0007] However, in the above cosmetic storage container, a user of the cosmetic storage container may inadvertently push up the operating pin, so that the cosmetic tools are exposed. There is a fear that the items located around the cosmetic storage container may be soiled due to the exposure of the cosmetic tools.

[0008] In addition, in the above cosmetic storage container, after the operating pin starts to be pushed up, the disk member and the inner cylinder member are integrally pushed up relative to the main body member. At this time, when the upper end of the cosmetic tool held by the disk member is located above the upper end of the inner cylinder member, there is a fear that the cosmetic tool may soil the lid. Summary of the Invention

[0009] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a dispensing container that can suppress cosmetics from being exposed against the user's will.

[0010] In addition, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a dispensing container that can suppress cosmetics from adhering to the lid portion.

[0011] Regarding the dispensing container of the present disclosure, (1) the dispensing container includes: a container having a cylindrical accommodating portion for accommodating cosmetics, and the container is formed with a first opening through which the cosmetics are exposed; a lid portion for opening and closing the first opening; and a locking member for locking the lid portion in a state where the lid portion closes the first opening. The lid portion opens and closes the first opening while being connected to at least one of the locking member and the container. When the locking member moves relative to the container in the direction in which the axis of the accommodating portion extends, i.e., the axial direction, the locking of the lid portion by the locking member is released, and the cosmetics are brought into a state where they can be exposed from the first opening.

[0012] In this dispensing container, the container has an accommodating portion for accommodating cosmetics and a first opening through which the cosmetics are exposed, and the first opening is opened and closed by the lid portion. The dispensing container includes a locking member that locks the lid portion in a state where the lid portion closes the first opening. By locking the lid portion with the locking member, the state where the lid portion closes the first opening is maintained, so that it is possible to prevent the first opening of the dispensing container from being opened unintentionally. When the locking member moves relative to the container in the axial direction, the locking of the lid portion is released, and at this time, the cosmetics can be exposed from the first opening. Therefore, if the user does not move the locking member in the axial direction, the locking of the lid portion cannot be released, and at this time, the exposure of the cosmetics from the first opening can be restricted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cosmetics from being exposed unintentionally, and thus it is possible to prevent the items around the dispensing container from being soiled.

[0013] (2) In the above (1), it may be that the locking member is in a cylindrical shape into which the container is inserted. It may be that the container has an operating portion that is operated when the container rotates relative to the locking member for dispensing the cosmetics. It may be that, in a state where the locking member locks the lid portion, the operating portion cannot rotate relative to the locking member. It may be that when the locking of the lid portion by the locking member is released, the operating portion can rotate relative to the locking member. In this case, by locking the lid portion with the locking member, the cosmetics are not easily exposed, and the operating portion cannot rotate relative to the locking member, so that it is possible to prevent the cosmetics from being dispensed unintentionally. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the cosmetics from being exposed against the will of the user.

[0014] (3) In the above (1) or (2), it may also be that the lid portion rotates via a hinge portion provided on the container, or it may be that the first opening is opened and closed by rotating via the hinge portion. It may also be that the locking member has: a second opening through which the cosmetic product sent out from the first opening appears; and a locking portion that abuts against the lid portion to lock the lid portion. In this case, the lid portion can rotate via the hinge portion. The locking member has a locking portion that abuts against the lid portion to lock the lid portion. Therefore, when the lid portion rotates, the locking portion abuts against the lid portion along the direction of blocking the first opening, whereby the lid portion can be easily locked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cosmetic product from being exposed against the user's will. In addition, in a state where the lid portion rotates and the first opening is opened, the cosmetic product passing through the first opening can be exposed via the second opening. Therefore, the cosmetic product can be exposed without removing the locking member.

[0015] Regarding the dispensing container of the present disclosure, (4) the dispensing container includes: a container having a cylindrical accommodating portion for accommodating a cosmetic product and formed with a first opening through which the cosmetic product is exposed; a supporting member that supports the cosmetic product inside the accommodating portion and can move in the axial direction of the accommodating portion; a lid portion that can rotate via a hinge portion and opens and closes the first opening by rotating via the hinge portion; and a pushing member that moves in the axial direction relative to the supporting member and pushes up the lid portion to open the first opening.

[0016] In this dispensing container, the container has an accommodating portion for accommodating a cosmetic product and a first opening through which the cosmetic product is exposed, and a supporting member that can move in the axial direction inside the accommodating portion supports the cosmetic product. The dispensing container includes a lid portion that can rotate via a hinge portion and a pushing member, and the first opening is opened and closed by the rotation of the lid portion. The pushing member moves in the axial direction relative to the supporting member that supports the cosmetic product and pushes up the lid portion to open the first opening. Since the pushing member moves relative to the supporting member that supports the cosmetic product and the first opening is opened, it is possible to bring the lid portion into a state where it is pushed up before the cosmetic product protrudes from the first opening. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cosmetic product from coming into contact with the lid portion, and thus it is possible to prevent the cosmetic product from adhering to the lid portion.

[0017] (5) In the above (4), it may also be that the accommodating portion has a guiding hole that penetrates the accommodating portion and extends in the axial direction. It may also be that the pushing member has a cylindrical shape into which the cosmetic product can enter and can move in the axial direction inside the accommodating portion. It may also be that the pushing member has a first protrusion on its outer periphery that enters the guiding hole. It may also be that the supporting member has a second protrusion on its outer periphery that enters the guiding hole. In this case, the first protrusion and the second protrusion respectively enter the guiding hole provided in the accommodating portion. In addition, the guiding hole extends in the axial direction. Therefore, the pushing member and the supporting member are respectively connected to the accommodating portion in a state where they can move in the axial direction. Therefore, it is possible to use one part for the parts for connecting the pushing member and the supporting member respectively. As a result, it is possible to miniaturize the dispensing container.

[0018] (6) In the dispensing container of the above (5), alternatively, the dispensing container may comprise: a threaded cylinder into which the accommodating portion is inserted, the threaded cylinder having a groove in its peripheral wall. Alternatively, the container may have an operating portion that is operated when the threaded cylinder rotates relative thereto. Alternatively, the groove may include a first groove into which the first protrusion of the pushing member enters and a second groove into which the second protrusion of the supporting member enters. Alternatively, when the threaded cylinder and the operating portion rotate relative to each other in one direction, the first protrusion moves along the first groove, the pushing member pushes up the lid portion to open the first opening, the second protrusion moves along the second groove, the supporting member moves in the axial direction, and the cosmetic is dispensed from the first opening. In this case, when the operating portion rotates relative to the threaded cylinder in one direction, the pushing member pushes up the lid portion to open the first opening, and the cosmetic is dispensed from the first opening. Therefore, the operations of opening the first opening and dispensing the cosmetic from the first opening can be performed with a single operation.

[0019] (7)In the above (6), it may also be that the first groove for the first protrusion of the upward pushing member to enter includes: a first inclined groove extending along a first inclined direction, which is a direction inclined with respect to the axial direction; and a second inclined groove extending along a second inclined direction, which is a direction inclined with respect to both the axial direction and the first inclined direction from the end of the first inclined groove. It may also be that the second groove for the second protrusion of the support member to enter includes a third inclined groove extending along a third inclined direction, which is a direction inclined with respect to the axial direction, the first inclined direction, and the second inclined direction. It may also be that the angle of the third inclined direction with respect to the axial direction is greater than the angle of the first inclined direction with respect to the axial direction and less than the angle of the second inclined direction with respect to the axial direction. It may also be that the first protrusion moves from the first inclined groove toward the second inclined groove before the upward pushing member pushes up the lid portion or while the upward pushing member pushes up the lid portion. In this case, before the upward pushing member pushes up the lid portion or while the upward pushing member pushes up the lid portion, the first protrusion moves in the first inclined groove and the second protrusion moves in the third inclined groove. The angle of the third inclined direction with respect to the axial direction is greater than the angle of the first inclined direction with respect to the axial direction. Therefore, compared with the speed at which the support member moves in the axial direction to deliver the cosmetic, the speed at which the upward pushing member moves in the axial direction to push up the lid portion can be increased. Therefore, the operations can be performed in the order that after the upward pushing member pushes up the lid portion to open the first opening, the support member delivers the cosmetic from the first opening. In addition, the angle of the third inclined direction with respect to the axial direction is less than the angle of the second inclined direction with respect to the axial direction. Therefore, after the upward pushing member pushes up the lid portion, compared with the speed at which the upward pushing member moves in the axial direction, the speed at which the support member moves in the axial direction to deliver the cosmetic can be increased. Therefore, after the first opening is opened, the excessive protrusion of the upward pushing member can be suppressed, and the cosmetic can be quickly delivered from the first opening.

[0020] (8)In the above (6) or (7), it may also be that when the threaded cylinder and the operation portion rotate relative to each other in the opposite direction to one direction, the second protrusion moves along the second groove, the support member moves in the axial direction, and the cosmetic is withdrawn from the first opening. It may also be that before the support member reaches the lower dead point, which is its downward limit, the upward pushing member starts to move in the axial direction toward the support member. In this case, when the operation portion is rotated relative to the threaded cylinder in the opposite direction, before the support member reaches the lower dead point, the upward pushing member starts to move in the axial direction toward the support member. Therefore, compared with the case where the movement of the upward pushing member starts after the withdrawal of the support member is completed, the withdrawal operation after using the delivery container can be performed more quickly.

[0021] (9) In the dispensing container of the above (6) or (7), alternatively, the dispensing container may include: a cylindrical locking member that covers the lid portion, houses the threaded cylinder, and is engaged with the threaded cylinder in a manner that allows synchronous rotation. Alternatively, the locking member may have: a second opening through which the cosmetic product dispensed from the first opening is exposed; a locking portion that locks the lid portion by abutting against the lid portion; and a guiding portion that projects radially inward from the peripheral wall of the locking member for guiding the lid portion. In this case, since the locking member covers the lid portion, the lid portion is protected by the locking member and is less likely to be damaged. In addition, since the locking member has a second opening through which the cosmetic product dispensed from the first opening is exposed, the cosmetic product can be exposed without removing the locking member. Therefore, the lid portion is even less likely to be damaged. Further, since the lid portion is guided by the guiding portion that projects radially inward from the peripheral wall of the locking member, the lid portion can be easily closed before the locking portion abuts against the lid portion. Moreover, since the locking member houses the threaded cylinder and is engaged with the threaded cylinder in a manner that allows synchronous rotation, relative rotation can occur with respect to the operation portion. Therefore, the user can grasp the locking member and easily rotate the operation portion relative to it.

Detailed implementation manner

[0047] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the delivery container of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are appropriately omitted. For ease of understanding, the accompanying drawings sometimes omit or exaggerate a part, and the dimensional ratios and the like are not limited to the content described in the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Figure 1 is a perspective view of the delivery container 1. Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of the delivery container 1. The delivery container 1 is capable of delivering cosmetics M (refer to Figure 3) and a container that can retrieve cosmetic M. For example, a part of the components constituting the dispensing container 1 is cylindrical. Hereinafter, the direction in which the axis of this part of the dispensing container 1 extends may sometimes be referred to as the axis direction D1, and the direction along the ring centered on the axis of the dispensing container 1 may be referred to as the circumferential direction D2. Hereinafter, the state in which cosmetic M is dispensed from the dispensing container 1 may sometimes be referred to as the "use state", and the state in which cosmetic M is not exposed from the dispensing container 1 and cosmetic M is accommodated in the dispensing container 1 may be referred to as the "accommodation state".

[0049] The dispensing container 1 has an operation part 21 that is a part of the dispensing container 1 that can be contacted by the user and a locking member 7. The operation part 21 and the locking member 7 are arranged along the axis direction D1. In the following description, the direction from the operation part 21 toward the locking member 7 in the axis direction D1 may sometimes be referred to as "front", "front side" or "front direction", and the direction from the locking member 7 toward the operation part 21 in the axis direction D1 may sometimes be referred to as "rear", "rear side" or "rear direction".

[0050] The dispensing container 1 includes: a container 2 that accommodates cosmetic M; a support member 3 that is accommodated in the container 2 and supports cosmetic M; a pushing member 4 that is accommodated in the container 2; a threaded cylinder 5 to which the support member 3 and the pushing member 4 are attached; an inner lid 6 that is connected to the threaded cylinder 5; a locking member 7 that is located on the front side of the container 2; and a restricting part 8 into which the threaded cylinder 5 is inserted. As Figure 1 shown, in the accommodation state, the container 2, the inner lid 6, and the locking member 7 are exposed. More specifically, the operation part 21 of the container 2, the lid part 61 of the inner lid 6, and the locking member 7 are exposed. The locking member 7 has a second opening 7a. The second opening 7a is located, for example, at the front end of the locking member 7.

[0051] Next, with reference to Figure 3 (a) of Figure 3 (b) of Figure 3 (c) of Figure 3 (a) of Figure 3 (b) of Figure 3 (c) of Figure 3 (a) of

[0052] When the lid part 61 closes the first opening 221a (refer to Figure 4) In the state of [[ID=]], the locking member 7 locks the lid portion 61. Hereinafter, the state where the operation portion 21 of the container 2 and the locking member 7 approach each other is sometimes referred to as the "locked state". In the locked state, the operation portion 21 cannot rotate relative to the locking member 7 in the circumferential direction D2. In the present embodiment, "synchronous rotation" means that a plurality of parts rotate integrally, and "relative rotation" means that one part rotates relative to another part. In the locked state, the opening of the lid portion 61 is restricted, and the lid portion 61 is exposed from the second opening 7a. In the locked state, the locking member 7 is in contact with the lid portion 61, and the lid portion 61 cannot be opened.

[0053] The locking member 7 can move relative to the operation portion 21 in the axial direction D1. Hereinafter, as Figure 3 shown in (b) of [[ID=]], the state where the locking member 7 moves forward relative to the operation portion 21 of the container 2 is sometimes referred to as the "unlocked state". In the unlocked state, the operation portion 21 can rotate relative to the locking member 7 in the circumferential direction D2. By relatively rotating the operation portion 21 relative to the locking member 7 in one direction D2a in the circumferential direction D2, the cosmetic M is delivered. One direction D2a is, for example, the direction in which the operation portion 21 rotates clockwise relative to the locking member 7 when observing the locking member 7 along the axial direction D1 from the operation portion 21. The second opening 7a exposes the cosmetic M delivered from the first opening 221a (refer to Figure 4 ). The second opening 7a causes the cosmetic M delivered from the first opening 221a to appear. In the unlocked state, since a space is formed between the inner surface of the front end of the locking member 7 and the lid portion 61, the lid portion 61 can be opened.

[0054] As Figure 3 shown in (c) of [[ID=]], by relatively rotating the operation portion 21 relative to the locking member 7 in one direction D2a, the cosmetic M protrudes relative to the locking member 7. Next, a method for returning from the use state to the accommodation state and a method for returning from the unlocked state to the locked state will be described. In the use state, by relatively rotating the operation portion 21 relative to the locking member 7 in the opposite direction D2b, the cosmetic M is retracted. The opposite direction D2b is the direction opposite to one direction D2a. The retracted cosmetic M sinks into the second opening 7a. By the cosmetic M sinking into the second opening 7a, the delivery container 1 returns from the use state to the accommodation state. Next, by moving the locking member 7 in the axial direction D1 (rearward) so that the locking member 7 approaches the operation portion 21, the delivery container 1 returns from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0055] Next, each component included in the delivery container 1 and the internal structure of the delivery container 1 will be described. Figure 4 is Figure 1IV-IV line cross-sectional view, showing the delivery container 1 in the accommodation state and in the locked state. For example, the container 2 has an operation part 21 that is operated when relatively rotating with respect to the locking member 7 for delivering the cosmetic M, and an accommodation cylinder 22 inserted into the operation part 21. The support member 3 and the upward pushing member 4 are accommodated inside the accommodation cylinder 22. For example, in the accommodation state, the support member 3 is located behind the upward pushing member 4. For example, an inner lid 6 is arranged inside the locking member 7, and a threaded cylinder 5 is arranged inside the inner lid 6.

[0056] For example, the operation part 21 is separated from the accommodation cylinder 22. However, the operation part 21 can also be integrated with the accommodation cylinder 22. For example, the operation part 21 is cylindrical, and the accommodation cylinder 22 is accommodated inside the operation part 21. An insertion space for inserting the threaded cylinder 5 is formed between the operation part 21 and the accommodation cylinder 22. For example, a part at the rear side of the threaded cylinder 5 is inserted into this insertion space. The accommodation cylinder 22 is accommodated inside the threaded cylinder 5.

[0057] The operation part 21 surrounds a part of the accommodation cylinder 22 (for example, a part at the rear side of the accommodation cylinder 22). Figure 5 Is a perspective view of the operation part 21. Figure 6 Is a front view of the operation part 21. As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the operation part 21 has: a main body part 211, which is a part for the user to grip when operating the operation part 21; and a neck part 212, which extends forward from the main body part 211. The main body part 211 extends along the axial direction D1. The main body part 211 is non-circular (for example, rectangular) when viewed from the axial direction D1. For example, the shape of the main body part 211 when viewed from the axial direction D1 is a polygon with rounded corners (as an example, a rounded square). In this case, the sliding of the finger relative to the main body part 211 can be suppressed, and it is easy to grip the main body part 211 with the finger.

[0058] The length of the neck part 212 in the axial direction D1 is shorter than the length of the main body part 211 in the axial direction D1. The rear end of the neck part 212 is non-circular (for example, rectangular) when viewed from the axial direction D1. The front end of the neck part 212 is a rectangle with a larger roundness of the corner than the rear end of the neck part 212, and is approximately circular in shape, but can also be circular, so that it can smoothly transition from the unlocked state to the locked state. The neck part 212 has an outer peripheral surface extending from the rear end of the neck part 212 towards the front end of the neck part 212. When viewed from the axial direction D1, the area of the part surrounded by the outer peripheral surface of the neck part 212 is smaller than the area of the part surrounded by the outer peripheral surface of the main body part 211. The operation part 21 has a stepped part 21a that protrudes radially outward from the rear end of the outer peripheral surface of the neck part 212 between the front end of the outer peripheral surface of the main body part 211 and the rear end of the outer peripheral surface of the neck part 212.

[0059] The operation unit 21 has a front inner peripheral surface 21b, a rear inner peripheral surface 21c, and a fitting portion 21d that respectively define a through hole penetrating the operation unit 21 along the axial direction D1. The front inner peripheral surface 21b extends rearward from the front end of the operation unit 21. The fitting portion 21d is provided at the rear end of the operation unit 21. The rear inner peripheral surface 21c is disposed between the front inner peripheral surface 21b and the fitting portion 21d. For example, the front inner peripheral surface 21b is circular when viewed from the axial direction D1. For example, the rear inner peripheral surface 21c and the fitting portion 21d are rectangular when viewed from the axial direction D1. The inner diameter of the front inner peripheral surface 21b is smaller than the length of the rear inner peripheral surface 21c that intersects the axial direction D1. The operation unit 21 has an inner peripheral surface convex portion 21g on the front inner peripheral surface 21b. For example, the inner peripheral surface convex portion 21g is a convex portion that protrudes radially inward on the front inner peripheral surface 21b and extends along the circumferential direction D2. The operation unit 21 has a plurality (for example, four) of inner peripheral surface convex portions 21g. The plurality of inner peripheral surface convex portions 21g are arranged along the circumferential direction D2 and are disposed at intervals from each other. The inner peripheral surface convex portion 21g is located at the rear end of the front inner peripheral surface 21b.

[0060] The fitting portion 21d has a recess 21e located at the front end of the fitting portion 21d and an opening 21f located at the rear end of the fitting portion 21d. The recess 21e is, for example, a recess that depresses radially outward from the neck portion 212. The fitting portion 21d has four recesses 21e. When viewed from the axial direction D1, one recess 21e is provided on each side of the rectangle formed by the inner contour of the fitting portion 21d. The opening 21f forms a step that protrudes radially outward.

[0061] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the accommodating cylinder 22. Figure 8 is a front view of the accommodating cylinder 22. As Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the accommodating cylinder 22 has: an accommodating portion 221 that accommodates the cosmetic M; an insertion portion 222 that is a portion inserted into the operation unit 21; and a fitting portion 223 that extends rearward from the rear end of the insertion portion 222. Moreover, the accommodating cylinder 22 has: an accommodating cylinder convex portion 224 provided at the boundary between the accommodating portion 221 and the insertion portion 222; and a rear end portion 225 that closes the rear end of the accommodating cylinder 22. The accommodating portion 221 is cylindrical. The accommodating portion 221 is, for example, cylindrical. The axis of the accommodating portion 221 extends along the axial direction D1. The outer diameter of the accommodating portion 221 is smaller than the inner diameter of the front inner peripheral surface 21b of the operation unit 21.

[0062] The accommodating portion 221 has a first opening 221a through which the cosmetic M is exposed. The first opening 221a is located at the front end of the accommodating portion 221. The accommodating portion 221 has a first guiding hole 221b and a second guiding hole 221c formed at a position different from the first guiding hole 221b. The first guiding hole 221b and the second guiding hole 221c penetrate through the accommodating portion 221. The first guiding hole 221b and the second guiding hole 221c extend along the axial direction D1 respectively.

[0063] The first guiding hole 221b extends rearward from the front end of the accommodating portion 221. An opening of the first guiding hole 221b may also be formed at the front end of the accommodating portion 221. For example, the first guiding hole 221b is a cut formed in the accommodating portion 221. The accommodating portion 221 has a pair of first guiding holes 221b. The pair of first guiding holes 221b are arranged at positions separated by the axis of the accommodating cylinder 22.

[0064] The second guiding hole 221c is located closer to the rear end of the accommodating portion 221 than the first guiding hole 221b. For example, the distance from the second guiding hole 221c to the rear end of the accommodating portion 221 is shorter than the distance from the second guiding hole 221c to the front end of the accommodating portion 221. The front end of the second guiding hole 221c is located at a position in front of the rear end of the first guiding hole 221b. The length of the second guiding hole 221c in the axial direction D1 is longer than the length of the first guiding hole 221b in the axial direction D1. The accommodating portion 221 has a pair of second guiding holes 221c. The pair of second guiding holes 221c are arranged at positions separated by the axis of the accommodating cylinder 22.

[0065] The insertion portion 222 extends rearward from the rear end of the accommodating portion 221. The insertion portion 222 is, for example, cylindrical. The outer diameter of the insertion portion 222 is less than or equal to the inner diameter of the rear inner peripheral surface 21c of the operating portion 21.

[0066] The fitting portion 223 is fitted to the fitting portion 21d of the operating portion 21. The fitting portion 223 is rectangular in shape and surrounds the insertion portion 222 when viewed from the axial direction D1. The fitting portion 223 has a thickness along the axial direction D1. The fitting portion 223 has a stepped portion 223a on the rear end side of the fitting portion 223, a convex portion 223b on the front end side of the fitting portion 223, and a concave portion 223c constituting the side surface of the fitting portion 223. The concave portion 223c is a portion recessed compared to the stepped portion 223a and the convex portion 223b. The stepped portion 223a surrounds the concave portion 223c when viewed from the axial direction D1. The stepped portion 223a is fitted to the opening portion 21f. The convex portion 223b is provided to protrude radially outward from the concave portion 223c. Each convex portion 223b enters each concave portion 21e.

[0067] The convex portion 224 of the receiving cylinder extends circumferentially D2 along the boundary between the receiving portion 221 and the insertion portion 222. The convex portion 224 of the receiving cylinder is configured to abut against the rear end of the threaded cylinder 5 to inhibit the rearward movement of the threaded cylinder 5. For example, the convex portion 224 of the receiving cylinder is annular when viewed from the axial direction D1. The rear end portion 225 is rectangular, for example. For example, the length (thickness) of the rear end portion 225 in the axial direction D1 is slightly shorter than the length of the fitting portion 223 in the axial direction D1.

[0068] The receiving cylinder 22 has a groove 22a provided at the rear end of the receiving portion 221. The groove 22a extends circumferentially D2, for example. As an example, the groove 22a extends throughout the entire circumference of the receiving cylinder 22. The outer diameter of the receiving cylinder 22 at the groove 22a is smaller than the outer diameters of the receiving portion 221 and the insertion portion 222. An O-ring R is disposed in the groove 22a. The O-ring R is composed of an elastic member. The O-ring R surrounds the receiving cylinder 22 so as to fill the groove 22a. By means of the O-ring R, a moderate rotational resistance is imparted to the relative rotation between the receiving cylinder 22 and the threaded cylinder 5, and the user can feel a good tactile sensation and a sense of premiumness accompanying the rotation operation.

[0069] For example, the receiving cylinder 22 may also have a front inner peripheral surface 22b extending rearward from the front end of the receiving cylinder 22 and a rear inner peripheral surface 22c extending from the front inner peripheral surface 22b to the rear end portion 225. In this case, the inner diameter of the front inner peripheral surface 22b may be larger than the inner diameter of the rear inner peripheral surface 22c. The receiving cylinder 22 may also have a stepped portion 22d protruding radially inward of the receiving cylinder 22 from the rear end of the front inner peripheral surface 22b between the rear end of the front inner peripheral surface 22b and the front end of the rear inner peripheral surface 22c. The stepped portion 22d may extend circumferentially D2.

[0070] A configuration in which the receiving cylinder 22 is connected to the operation portion 21 will be described. The insertion portion 222 of the receiving cylinder 22 is inserted into the internal space of the operation portion 21 formed by the rear inner peripheral surface 21c. The fitting portion 223 of the receiving cylinder 22 is fitted to the fitting portion 21d of the operation portion 21. More specifically, the fitting portion 223 is fitted to the fitting portion 21d by the convex portion 223b of the fitting portion 223 entering the concave portion 21e of the operation portion 21. Thus, the receiving cylinder 22 and the operation portion 21 are engaged in the axial direction D1. When the fitting portion 223 of the receiving cylinder 22 enters the fitting portion 21d, the fitting portion 223 and the fitting portion 21d are non-circular when viewed from the axial direction D1, so that the receiving cylinder 22 and the operation portion 21 are engaged in the circumferential direction D2 and can rotate synchronously with the operation portion 21.

[0071] Next, the support member 3 will be described. Figure 9 is a perspective view of the support member 3. Figure 10 is Figure 9 the X-X line cross-sectional view of. As Figure 4 、 Figure 9 andFigure 10 As shown, the support member 3 is accommodated inside the accommodation cylinder 22. The support member 3 supports the cosmetic M. The support member 3 has a main body portion 31 in a cylindrical shape (as an example, a cylindrical shape) and a second protrusion 32 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 31. The cosmetic M is accommodated inside the main body portion 31. More specifically, in a state where the cosmetic M protrudes from the opening at the front end of the main body portion 31, a portion on the rear side of the cosmetic M is accommodated in the main body portion 31.

[0072] The second protrusion 32 enters the second guide hole 221c of the accommodation cylinder 22 (refer to Figure 7 ). The second protrusion 32 is in a columnar shape (as an example, a cylindrical shape). The second protrusion 32 protrudes, for example, from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 31 toward the radially outer side of the main body portion 31. The support member 3 has, for example, a pair of second protrusions 32. The pair of second protrusions 32 are arranged at positions separated by the axis of the main body portion 31. By the second protrusion 32 moving along the second guide hole 221c, the support member 3 can move in the axial direction D1 inside the accommodation cylinder 22. By the second protrusion 32 entering the second guide hole 221c, the support member 3 engages with the container 2 (accommodation portion 221) in the circumferential direction D2. The support member 3 can rotate synchronously with the accommodation cylinder 22 of the container 2.

[0073] The support member 3 has an accommodation portion 3a for accommodating the cosmetic M inside thereof. The accommodation portion 3a is, for example, a part of the inner peripheral surface of the support member 3. The accommodation portion 3a is, for example, circular when viewed from the axial direction D1. For example, the length of the accommodation portion 3a in the axial direction D1 is shorter than half of the length of the support member 3 in the axial direction D1. The support member 3 has a bottom portion 3b provided at the rear end of the accommodation portion 3a. The cosmetic M accommodated in the accommodation portion 3a contacts the bottom portion 3b, for example. The support member 3 has a claw portion 33 provided in the accommodation portion 3a. The claw portion 33 sinks into the cosmetic M accommodated in the accommodation portion 3a. By the claw portion 33 sinking into the cosmetic M, the cosmetic M can be firmly supported by the support member 3. The claw portion 33 extends along the axial direction D1, for example. The claw portion 33 protrudes toward the radially inner side of the main body portion 31 in the accommodation portion 3a.

[0074] The support member 3 has an opening 3c provided in the bottom portion 3b. The opening 3c penetrates the bottom portion 3b along the axial direction D1. For example, the center of the opening 3c coincides with the axis of the support member 3. When the cosmetic M is accommodated in the accommodation portion 3a, the air present between the cosmetic M and the bottom portion 3b is discharged from the opening 3c, whereby the cosmetic M can be easily pressed onto the bottom portion 3b.

[0075] For example, the support member 3 may also have ribs 34 extending from the bottom 3b to the rear end of the main body portion 31. The ribs 34 extend, for example, from the inner peripheral surface of the bottom 3b to the outer peripheral surface of the bottom 3b when viewed in the axial direction D1. The support member 3 may also have a pair of ribs 34. The pair of ribs 34 may also be disposed at positions spaced apart from each other across the axis of the main body portion 31.

[0076] Figure 11 is a perspective view of the pushing member 4. As Figure 4 and Figure 11 shown, the pushing member 4 is accommodated inside the accommodating portion 221 of the accommodating cylinder 22. The pushing member 4 is located on the front side of the accommodating cylinder 22. The pushing member 4 has a cylindrical shape for the cosmetic M to enter. More specifically, the pushing member 4 has a main body portion 41 having a cylindrical shape (a cylindrical shape as an example) and first protrusions 42 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 41. Both ends of the main body portion 41 in the axial direction D1 are open. The inner diameter of the main body portion 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the cosmetic M. The cosmetic M can enter the main body portion 41. The opening surface of the opening at the front end of the main body portion 41 may be inclined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the axial direction D1. The opening surface of the opening at the rear end of the main body portion 41 extends along a plane orthogonal to the axial direction D1.

[0077] The first protrusions 42 enter the first guide holes 221b of the accommodating cylinder 22 (refer to Figure 7 ). The first protrusions 42 have a columnar shape (a cylindrical shape as an example). The first protrusions 42 protrude, for example, from the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 41 toward the radially outer side of the main body portion 41. The pushing member 4 has, for example, a pair of first protrusions 42. The pair of first protrusions 42 are disposed at positions spaced apart from each other across the axis of the main body portion 41. By moving the first protrusions 42 along the first guide holes 221b, the pushing member 4 can move in the axial direction D1 inside the accommodating cylinder 22. By the first protrusions 42 entering the first guide holes 221b, the pushing member 4 engages with the container 2 (accommodating portion 221) in the circumferential direction D2. The pushing member 4 can rotate synchronously with the accommodating cylinder 22 of the container 2.

[0078] Figure 12 is a perspective view of the threaded cylinder 5. Figure 13 is Figure 12 a sectional view taken along line XIII - XIII of Figure 4 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, the threaded cylinder 5 accommodates the accommodating portion 221 of the accommodating cylinder 22. The accommodating portion 221 is inserted into the threaded cylinder 5. The threaded cylinder 5 has, for example, a cylindrical shape. The threaded cylinder 5 has a front insertion portion 51 inserted into the front side of the inner lid 6, a rear insertion portion 52 inserted into the operation portion 21, and an intermediate portion 53 located between the front insertion portion 51 and the rear insertion portion 52. The front insertion portion 51, the rear insertion portion 52, and the intermediate portion 53 have, for example, a cylindrical shape.

[0079] The threaded cylinder 5 has an annular convex portion 54 extending along the circumferential direction D2 and a convex portion 55 extending along the axial direction D1. The annular convex portion 54 is located at the boundary portion between the front insertion portion 51 and the intermediate portion 53. The annular convex portion 54 and the convex portion 55 project outward in the radial direction of the threaded cylinder 5 on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded cylinder 5. The convex portion 55 intersects the annular convex portion 54. For example, the convex portion 55 crosses the annular convex portion 54 along the axial direction D1. The convex portion 55 is provided to straddle the front insertion portion 51 and the intermediate portion 53.

[0080] The threaded cylinder 5 has convex portions 56 and 57 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate portion 53. The convex portion 57 is provided near the front end of the rear insertion portion 52. The convex portion 56 and the convex portion 57 are arranged along the axial direction D1. The convex portion 56 is located behind the convex portion 57. The convex portions 56 and 57 project from the outer peripheral surface of the rear insertion portion 52. For example, the convex portions 56 and 57 are elliptical when viewed from the radial outside of the threaded cylinder 5. For example, the protruding amount of each of the convex portions 56 and 57 from the outer peripheral surface of the rear insertion portion 52 is larger toward the center of each of the convex portions 56 and 57. The convex portion 56 has the same shape as the convex portion 57. The threaded cylinder 5 has three convex portions 56 and three convex portions 57 arranged along the circumferential direction D2.

[0081] The threaded cylinder 5 has a flange portion 58 located between the rear insertion portion 52 and the intermediate portion 53. The flange portion 58 is, for example, an annular convex portion extending along the circumferential direction D2. The outer diameter of the flange portion 58 is larger than the outer diameter of the intermediate portion 53 and the outer diameter of the rear insertion portion 52. The protruding amount of the flange portion 58 radially outward with respect to the rear insertion portion 52 and the intermediate portion 53 is larger than the protruding amount of the convex portion 57 from the outer peripheral surface of the rear insertion portion 52. The outer diameter of the flange portion 58 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface convex portion 21g. By the flange portion 58 abutting against the inner peripheral surface convex portion 21g along the axial direction D1, the forward movement of the threaded cylinder 5 relative to the operation portion 21 is restricted.

[0082] The threaded cylinder 5 has a diameter-expanded portion 59 at the rear end of the rear insertion portion 52. The diameter-expanded portion 59 has a cylindrical shape. The inner diameter of the diameter-expanded portion 59 is, for example, larger than the inner diameter of the rear insertion portion 52. The outer diameter of the diameter-expanded portion 59 is smaller than the inner diameter of the rear inner peripheral surface 21c. The O-ring R contacts the inner peripheral surface of the diameter-expanded portion 59. By the diameter-expanded portion 59 abutting against the receiving cylinder convex portion 224, the backward movement of the threaded cylinder 5 relative to the receiving cylinder 22 is restricted. By the abutment of the flange portion 58 against the inner peripheral surface convex portion 21g and the abutment of the diameter-expanded portion 59 against the receiving cylinder convex portion 224, the threaded cylinder 5 is engaged with the container 2 in the axial direction D1.

[0083] The threaded cylinder 5 has a groove in the peripheral wall. The groove provided in the peripheral wall of the threaded cylinder 5 includes a first groove 5a into which the first protrusion 42 of the upward pushing member 4 (refer to Figure 11 ) enters and a second groove for the second protrusion 32 of the support member 3 (refer to Figure 9)The second groove 5b into which it enters. The first groove 5a is provided in the front insertion portion 51. The first groove 5a penetrates the front insertion portion 51. The first groove 5 includes: a first inclined groove 5c extending along a first inclined direction D3, which is a direction inclined with respect to the axial direction D1; and a second inclined groove 5d extending along a second inclined direction D4, which is a direction inclined toward both the axial direction D1 and the first inclined direction D3 from the end of the first inclined groove 5c. In the present embodiment, the second inclined groove 5d extends along the circumferential direction D2. That is, the second inclined direction D4 is the same direction as the circumferential direction D2. One end of the second inclined groove 5d is connected to the front end of the first inclined groove 5c. The threaded cylinder 5 has, for example, a pair of first grooves 5a. The pair of first grooves 5a are arranged at positions separated by the axis of the threaded cylinder 5. One of the pair of first grooves 5a overlaps with the other of the pair of first grooves 5a when the threaded cylinder 5 rotates 180° around the axis.

[0084] The second groove 5b is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the threaded cylinder 5. The second groove 5b is, for example, a spiral shape extending around the axis of the threaded cylinder 5. In this case, the second groove 5b is a spiral groove. For example, the second groove 5b does not penetrate the threaded cylinder 5. The threaded cylinder 5 has a pair of second grooves 5b. The pair of second grooves 5b are arranged at positions separated by the axis of the threaded cylinder 5. One of the pair of second grooves 5b overlaps with the other of the pair of second grooves 5b when the threaded cylinder 5 rotates 180° around the axis. The second groove 5b includes a third inclined groove 5e extending along a third inclined direction D5, which is a direction inclined toward the axial direction D1, the first inclined direction D3, and the second inclined direction D4. The angle of the third inclined direction D5 with respect to the axial direction D1 is greater than the angle of the first inclined direction D3 with respect to the axial direction D1 and less than the angle of the second inclined direction D4 with respect to the axial direction D1.

[0085] The inclination angle of the first inclined direction D3 with respect to the axial direction D1 is, for example, 20° or more and 30° or less. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle of the first inclined direction D3 with respect to the axial direction D1 is, for example, 25°. The inclination angle of the second inclined direction D4 with respect to the axial direction D1 is, for example, 70° or more and 90° or less. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle of the second inclined direction D4 with respect to the axial direction D1 is, for example, 90°. The inclination angle of the third inclined direction D5 with respect to the axial direction D1 is, for example, 30° or more and 45° or less. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle of the third inclined direction D5 with respect to the axial direction D1 is, for example, 37.8°.

[0086] Next, the positional relationship among the container 2 (the operation portion 21 and the accommodation cylinder 22), the support member 3, the pushing member 4, and the threaded cylinder 5 inside the delivery container 1 will be described. As Figure 4As shown, the rear insertion portion 52, flange portion 58, and diameter-expanded portion 59 of the threaded cylinder 5 are arranged in the radial direction of the container 2 between the accommodation cylinder 22 and the operation portion 21. The threaded cylinder 5 is located radially outside the accommodation cylinder 22. The container 2 (for each of the operation portion 21 and the accommodation cylinder 22) can rotate relative to the threaded cylinder 5.

[0087] As Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 shown, in the accommodation cylinder 22, the first guide hole 221b and the second guide hole 221c extend in the axial direction D1. Therefore, the first protrusion 42 of the upward push member 4 entering the first guide hole 221b and the second protrusion 32 of the support member 3 entering the second guide hole 221c are not restricted from moving in the axial direction D1 relative to the container 2 (accommodation cylinder 22). Therefore, the support member 3 and the upward push member 4 can move relative to the container 2 (accommodation cylinder 22) in the axial direction D1.

[0088] As Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, the first protrusion 42 passing through the first guide hole 221b of the container 2 (accommodation cylinder 22) enters the first groove 5a of the threaded cylinder 5 extending along the first inclined direction D3. The upward push member 4 rotates synchronously with the container 2 (for each of the operation portion 21 and the accommodation cylinder 22). When the operation portion 21 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5, the container 2 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5 together with the upward push member 4. When the upward push member 4 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5, the first protrusion 42 moves along the first groove 5a. The first inclined direction D3 is inclined relative to the axial direction D1. Therefore, in the state where the first protrusion 42 enters the first inclined groove 5c, when the upward push member 4 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5, the upward push member 4 moves relative to the threaded cylinder 5 in the axial direction D1. In the present embodiment, the second inclined direction D4 is the same as the circumferential direction D2. Therefore, in the state where the first protrusion 42 enters the second inclined groove 5d, even if the upward push member 4 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5, the upward push member 4 does not move relative to the threaded cylinder 5 in the axial direction D1.

[0089] The second protrusion 32 of the support member 3 passing through the second guide hole 221c of the container 2 (the accommodating cylinder 22) enters the second groove 5b of the threaded barrel 5 extending along the third inclined direction D5. The support member 3 rotates synchronously with the container 2. When the operating portion 21 rotates relative to the threaded barrel 5, the container 2 rotates relative to the threaded barrel 5 together with the support member 3. When the support member 3 rotates relative to the threaded barrel 5, the second protrusion 32 moves along the second groove 5b. The third inclined direction D5 is inclined relative to the axial direction D1, so when the second protrusion 32 enters the third inclined groove 5e, when the support member 3 rotates relative to the threaded barrel 5, the support member 3 moves relative to the threaded barrel 5 in the axial direction D1.

[0090] As described above, the inclination angle of the first inclination direction D3 relative to the axial direction D1 is smaller than the inclination angle of the third inclination direction D5 relative to the axial direction D1. Therefore, when the first protrusion 42 enters the first groove 5a, the second protrusion 32 enters the second groove 5b, and the threaded barrel 5, the push-up member 4, and the supporting member 3 rotate, the movement amount of the push-up member 4 relative to the threaded barrel 5 in the axial direction D1 is greater than the movement amount of the supporting member 3 relative to the threaded barrel 5 in the axial direction D1.

[0091] Figure 14 It is a three-dimensional view of the inner cover 6. Figure 15 6 is a rear view of the inner cover. Figure 4 , Figure 14 as well as Figure 15 As shown, the inner cover 6 surrounds the threaded tube 5. The inner cover 6 has: a cover portion 61, which opens and closes the first opening 221a of the container 2 (containing tube 22); and a main body portion 62, which is located behind the cover portion 61. The main body portion 62 is, for example, cylindrical. The main body portion 62 has a pair of flange portions 62a and a pair of side portions 62b. The pair of flange portions 62a are arranged at positions across the axis of the inner cover 6. The flange portion 62a has a smooth surface facing radially outward. The smooth surface is, for example, rectangular. A pair of side portions 62b are arranged at positions across the axis of the inner cover 6. The pair of side portions 62b are respectively sandwiched by a pair of flange portions 62a in the circumferential direction D2.

[0092] For example, the outer surface of the side surface portion 62b is composed of three curved surfaces. The three curved surfaces are arranged along the circumferential direction D2 when viewed from the axial direction D1. When viewed from the axial direction D1, the curvature of each of the upper curved surface and the lower curved surface of the three curved surfaces is greater than the curvature of a circle centered on the axis of the inner cover 6 and having a line segment from the axis of the inner cover 6 to the side surface portion 62b as a radius. The curvature of the curved surface sandwiched by the upper curved surface and the lower curved surface is smaller than the curvature of the circle.

[0093] The main body portion 62 has: a front opening 62c provided at the front end of the main body portion 62; and a rear opening 62d provided at the rear end of the main body portion 62. For example, the inner diameter of the front opening 62c is smaller than the inner diameter of the rear opening 62d. The inner diameter of the front opening 62c is larger than the outer diameter of the push member 4. Inside the main body portion 62, the front portion of the threaded cylinder 5 is inserted through the rear opening 62d. By inserting the threaded cylinder 5 through the rear opening 62d into the inside of the main body portion 62, the front insertion portion 51 of the threaded cylinder 5 is disposed inside the inner lid 6.

[0094] The main body portion 62 has: an inner peripheral surface 62e extending forward from the rear opening 62d; and a groove 62f provided on the inner peripheral surface 62e. The groove 62f corresponds to a recessed portion in the inner peripheral surface 62e. The groove 62f extends in the axial direction D1. For example, the main body portion 62 has a plurality (two as an example) of grooves 62f. For example, a pair of grooves 62f are arranged along the radial direction of the main body portion 62. The convex portion 55 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the threaded cylinder 5 (refer to Figure 12 ) enters the groove 62f. When the threaded cylinder 5 is inserted into the inner lid 6, the convex portion 55 enters the groove 62f. Thereby, the threaded cylinder 5 and the inner lid 6 are engaged in a manner that enables synchronous rotation.

[0095] The main body portion 62 has a fitting portion 62k on the inner peripheral surface 62e for fitting the threaded cylinder 5. The fitting portion 62k is, for example, a fitting recess extending in the circumferential direction D2. The annular convex portion 54 of the threaded cylinder 5 enters the fitting portion 62k. Thereby, the threaded cylinder 5 is fitted to the inner lid 6 in a manner that it cannot move in the axial direction.

[0096] The lid portion 61 opens and closes the first opening 221a in a state of being connected to the container 2. The lid portion 61 has: a lid body 61a that closes the front opening 62c; and a hinge portion 61b to which the lid body 61a is connected. The lid body 61a is, for example, semicircular. For example, the lid portion 61 has a pair of lid bodies 61a. For example, the pair of semicircular lid bodies 61a are arranged along the radial direction of the main body portion 62. Thereby, the lid portion 61 is circular when viewed from the axial direction D1.

[0097] As described above, in the lid portion 61, the pair of lid bodies 61a are arranged in a circular shape. By rotating the pair of lid bodies 61a via the respective hinge portions 61b, the front opening 62c is opened and closed. The hinge portion 61b extends, for example, in the width direction of the main body portion 62 (a flange portion 62a as an example). The hinge portion 61b is, for example, cylindrical. For example, the main body portion 62 has a pair of hinge fixing portions 62j to which each of the two ends of the hinge portion 61b is connected.

[0098] The hinge fixing part 62j is provided at the front end of the flange part 62a. The hinge fixing parts 62j are respectively provided at the end parts in the width direction of the flange part 62a. The hinge part 61b is connected to the hinge fixing part 62j in a rotatable state relative to the hinge fixing part 62j. The hinge part 61b is provided in front of the container 2 (accommodating cylinder 22). The lid part 61 can be rotated via the hinge part 61b provided in the front of the container 2 (for example). The lid part 61 opens and closes the first opening 221a of the container 2 (accommodating cylinder 22) by rotating via the hinge part 61b.

[0099] Figure 16 is a perspective view of the locking member 7. Figure 17 is Figure 16 a sectional view taken along line XVII-XVII of Figure 4 . Figure 16 As well as Figure 17 shown, the locking member 7 is cylindrical. For example, the inner lid 6 is inserted into the locking member 7. The locking member 7 covers the lid part 61. For example, the locking member 7 is rectangular when viewed from the axial direction D1. More specifically, the shape of the locking member 7 when viewed from the axial direction D1 is a rounded rectangle (a rounded square as an example). For example, the locking member 7 houses the threaded cylinder 5 and engages with the threaded cylinder 5 in the circumferential direction D2. The locking member 7 can rotate synchronously with the threaded cylinder 5.

[0100] Figure 18 is a rear view of the locking member 7. As Figure 4 . Figure 17 As well as Figure 18 shown, an inner lid accommodation area R1 extending rearward from the front end of the locking member 7 is provided inside the locking member 7. The inner lid 6 is accommodated in the inner lid accommodation area R1. For example, when viewed from the axial direction D1, the inner peripheral surface of the locking member 7 and the outer peripheral surface of the inner lid 6 have the same shape. The locking member 7 has: a pair of flat surfaces 7g respectively opposed to the flange part 62a of the inner lid 6 (refer to Figure 15 ); and a pair of inner peripheral side surfaces 7h respectively opposed to the side surface parts 62b of the inner lid 6. The inner lid 6 is accommodated inside the locking member 7 from the rear side opening 7b located at the rear end of the locking member 7.

[0101] As described above, inside the locking member 7, the flange part 62a of the inner lid 6 is opposed to the flat surface 7g, and the side surface part 62b of the inner lid 6 is opposed to the inner peripheral side surface 7h. At this time, the inner lid 6 and the locking member 7 rotate synchronously in the circumferential direction D2. The locking member 7 can move relative to the inner lid 6 in the axial direction D1.

[0102] Furthermore, in the locked state where the opening of the cover 61 is restricted, the front end of the hinge fixing portion 62j abuts against the inner surface of the front end of the locking member 7. The locking member 7 has a locking portion 7c that restricts the opening of the cover 61. The locking portion 7c is, for example, located at the front end of the locking member 7. The locking portion 7c extends in the circumferential direction D2 so as to surround the second opening 7a. The locking portion 7c defines the second opening 7a.

[0103] The locking portion 7c abuts against the cover 61 to lock the cover 61. In the present embodiment, locking refers to a state in which the locking portion 7c abuts against the cover 61 to restrict the opening of the cover 61. When the locking member 7 moves forward relative to the cover 61, the locking portion 7c leaves the cover 61. When the locking portion 7c leaves the cover 61, the locking of the cover 61 by the locking member 7 is released. Since the locking of the cover 61 by the locking member 7 is released, the cover 61 becomes openable, and thus the cosmetics M can be exposed from the first opening 221a of the container 2.

[0104] The locking member 7 has a guide portion 7f for guiding the cover portion 61. The guide portion 7f protrudes from the peripheral wall of the locking member 7 toward the radial inner side of the locking member 7. Figure 17 As shown, for example, the guide portion 7f has a shape having an inclined portion inclined relative to the axial direction D1 (as an example, a right triangle). The guide portion 7f extends in a direction intersecting (as an example, orthogonal) with the flat surface 7g. The guide portion 7f is connected to the flat surface 7g. The guide portion 7f in the shape of a right triangle has a hypotenuse and a pair of adjacent sides extending from both ends of the hypotenuse. One of the pair of adjacent sides is connected to the flat surface 7g. The guide portion 7f extends from the inner peripheral surface of the locking member 7 to the second opening 7a, for example. The length of the guide portion 7f in the axial direction D1 is longer as it is closer to the inner peripheral surface of the locking member 7.

[0105] The locking member 7 has, for example, a plurality of guide portions 7f. For example, two guide portions 7f are arranged at positions across the flat surface 7g. In addition, two guide portions 7f are arranged along a direction in which a pair of flat surfaces 7g are opposite. For example, the locking member 7 has four guide portions 7f. In this case, the four guide portions 7f may be arranged to be rectangular when viewed from the axial direction D1.

[0106] The locking member 7 has a convex portion 7 e provided to be connected to the rear end of the inner cover accommodating region R1 .

[0107] The protrusion 7e is a stopper 8 (see Figure 2) engaging portion. The locking member 7 has, for example, a plurality of convex portions 7e. In the present embodiment, the locking member 7 has eight convex portions 7e. For example, when viewed from the axial direction D1, eight convex portions 7e are provided in a manner that two convex portions 7e sandwich each corner of the locking member 7. The convex portion 7e protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the locking member 7 toward the axis of the locking member 7. The convex portion 7e extends in the circumferential direction D2.

[0108] In the present embodiment, the outer contour of the cross section intersecting the axial direction D1 in the rear side of the neck 212 of the operating portion 21 is non-circular (rectangular). Therefore, when the locking member 7 approaches the operating portion 21, even if the locking member 7 is intended to rotate relative to the operating portion 21, the locking member 7 cannot rotate relative to the operating portion 21 because the inner surface of the locking member 7 abuts against the non-circular portion of the neck 212. On the other hand, the outer contour of the cross section intersecting the axial direction D1 in the front side of the neck 212 is circular. Therefore, when the locking member 7 moves away from the operating portion 21 to the front, when the locking member 7 is intended to rotate relative to the operating portion 21, the inner surface of the locking member 7 does not abut against the operating portion 21, so the locking member 7 can rotate relative to the operating portion 21.

[0109] Figure 19 8 is a three-dimensional diagram of the limiting portion 8. Figure 4 and Figure 19 As shown, the limiting portion 8 is sandwiched between the threaded barrel 5 and the locking member 7. The limiting portion 8 limits the movement of the locking member 7 in the axial direction D1 relative to the container 2, so as to limit the movement of the locking member 7 relative to the container 2 by more than a certain amount. For example, the limiting portion 8 is opposite to the front end of the operating portion 21 along the axial direction D1.

[0110] For example, the limiting portion 8 is annular. The limiting portion 8 has: a pair of flat portions 8a, which are opposite to each other; and a pair of flat portions 8b, which are opposite to each other in a direction different from the direction in which the pair of flat portions 8a are opposite to each other. The pair of flat portions 8a are arranged at positions across the axis of the limiting portion 8. The pair of flat portions 8b are arranged at positions across the axis of the limiting portion 8. For example, the pair of flat portions 8a and the pair of flat portions 8b are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction D2. For example, in the pair of flat portions 8a and the pair of flat portions 8b, all of the four flat portions may have the same shape and size.

[0111] The limiting portion 8 has a plurality of corner portions 8c. In the present embodiment, the limiting portion 8 has four corner portions 8c. Each corner portion 8c is disposed between the flat portion 8a and the flat portion 8b. The limiting portion 8 has an outer groove 8d provided at the corner portion 8c. The outer groove 8d extends along the circumferential direction D2. The outer groove 8d extends from the flat portion 8a to the flat portion 8b. The outer groove 8d has a convex portion 7e (see Figure 17)The entering shape. The convex portion 7e enters the outer groove 8d, and the restricting portion 8 engages with the locking member 7 in the axial direction D1.

[0112] That is, since the convex portion 7e enters the outer groove 8d, when the locking member 7 moves along the axial direction D1, the locking member 7 and the restricting portion 8 move together along the axial direction D1. When the locking member 7 rotates along the circumferential direction D2, the convex portion 7e contacts the flat portion 8a (or the flat portion 8b), so the locking member 7 and the restricting portion 8 rotate together along the circumferential direction D2. Thus, the restricting portion 8 can rotate synchronously with the locking member 7.

[0113] The restricting portion 8 has an inner groove 8e provided on the inner peripheral surface of the restricting portion 8. The inner groove 8e extends along the circumferential direction D2 on the inner peripheral surface of the restricting portion 8, for example. The convex portion 56 or the convex portion 57 of the threaded cylinder 5 (refer to Figure 12 ) enters the inner groove 8e. The inner groove 8e has a bottom surface 8e1 and an inclined surface 8e2. The bottom surface 8e1 has a surface parallel to the outer peripheral surface of the rear insertion portion 52. The depth of the inner groove 8e is fixed on the bottom surface 8e1. The inner groove 8e has a pair of inclined surfaces 8e2. The pair of inclined surfaces 8e2 are arranged at positions separated by the bottom surface 8e1 along the axial direction D1. The inclined surface 8e2 approaches the axis of the restricting portion 8 more as it moves away from the bottom surface 8e1 in the axial direction D1. That is, the depth of the inner groove 8e in the inclined surface 8e2 becomes shallower as it moves away from the bottom surface 8e1 along the axial direction D1.

[0114] The convex portion 56 or the convex portion 57 entering the inner groove 8e moves relative to the inner groove 8e along the axial direction D1. When the convex portion 56 or the convex portion 57 moves relative to the inner groove 8e, the convex portion 56 or the convex portion 57 moves on the inclined surface 8e2, so it can easily escape from the inner groove 8e. Thus, the restricting portion 8 can be moved relative to the threaded cylinder 5 along the axial direction D1.

[0115] However, unless an external force in the axial direction D1 is applied to the locking member 7, the convex portion 56 or the convex portion 57 entering the inner groove 8e will not escape from the inner groove 8e. For example, in the delivery container 1 in the unlocked state, even if a weak external force in the axial direction D1 is applied to the locking member 7, the locking member 7 will not approach the operation portion 21. For example, when the user uses a finger to make the locking member 7 approach the operation portion 21, an external force is applied to the delivery container 1, and the convex portion 57 escapes from the inner groove 8e, and the delivery container 1 changes from the unlocked state to the locked state. For example, when the user uses a finger to move the locking member 7 forward, an external force is applied to the delivery container 1, and the convex portion 56 escapes from the inner groove 8e, and the delivery container 1 changes from the locked state to the unlocked state.

[0116] The restricting portion 8 has a front end face 8f that intersects (orthogonal as an example) the axial direction D1. When the locking member 7 moves forward relative to the threaded cylinder 5 together with the restricting portion 8, the front end face 8f contacts the rear end of the inner lid 6. When the front end face 8f contacts the rear end of the inner lid 6, the locking member 7 and the restricting portion 8 cannot move further forward relative to the threaded cylinder 5. Thus, the region that can move in the axial direction D1 of the locking member 7 and the restricting portion 8 is restricted to the range where the restricting portion 8 is located between the front end of the operation portion 21 and the rear end of the inner lid 6.

[0117] Next, refer to Figure 20 (a) of Figure 20 and Figure 20 (c) of Figure 20 (a) of Figure 20 (b) of Figure 20 (c) of Figure 4 and Figure 20 As shown in (a) of

[0118] In the delivery container 1 in the housed state and in the unlocked state, when the operation portion 21 is rotated relative to the locking member 7 in one direction D2a, the operation portion 21 rotates relative to the locking member 7 and the threaded cylinder 5.

[0119] The support member 3, the upward pushing member 4, and the receiving cylinder 22 rotate synchronously. Therefore, when the operating portion 21 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5 in one direction D2a, the threaded cylinder 5 rotates relative to the support member 3 and the upward pushing member 4. When the operating portion 21 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5 in one direction D2a, the first protrusion 42 of the upward pushing member 4 moves forward along the first groove 5a. The first protrusion 42 moves from the first inclined groove 5c toward the second inclined groove 5d before the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61 or while the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61. In the feeding container 1 in the received state, the first protrusion 42 moves forward along the first inclined groove 5c, and the second protrusion 32 of the support member 3 moves forward along the third inclined groove 5e. The angle of the first inclined direction D3, which is the direction in which the first inclined groove 5c extends, relative to the axis direction D1 is smaller than the angle of the third inclined direction D5, which is the direction in which the third inclined groove 5e extends, relative to the axis direction D1. Therefore, the upward pushing member 4 moves (moves forward) in the axis direction D1 relative to the support member 3. That is, when the first protrusion 42 is located in the first inclined groove 5c, the moving speed of the upward pushing member 4 in the axis direction D1 is faster than the moving speed of the support member 3 in the axis direction D1. When the upward pushing member 4 moves forward relative to the support member 3, the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61 to open the first opening 221a.

[0120] When the operating portion 21 is further rotated relative to the locking member 7, as shown in (b) of Figure 20 , the upward pushing member 4 is sent out from the second opening 7a of the locking member 7. The first protrusion 42 of the upward pushing member 4 moves from the first inclined groove 5c toward the second inclined groove 5d before the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61 or while the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61. That is, when the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61 (reaches the lid portion 61), the first protrusion 42 is located in the first inclined groove 5c and starts to move from the first inclined groove 5c toward the second inclined groove 5d.

[0121] After the first projection 42 moves from the first inclined groove 5c to the second inclined groove 5d, when the operation part 21 rotates relative to the locking member 7, the first projection 42 moves along the second inclined groove 5d, and the second projection 32 of the support member 3 moves along the third inclined groove 5e. The angle of the second inclined direction D4 in which the second inclined groove 5d extends with respect to the axis direction D1 is greater than the angle of the third inclined direction D5 in which the third inclined groove 5e extends with respect to the axis direction D1. Therefore, the support member 3 moves in the axis direction D1 (moves forward) with respect to the pushing member 4. That is, when the first projection 42 is located in the second inclined groove 5d, the moving speed of the support member 3 in the axis direction D1 is faster than the moving speed of the pushing member 4 in the axis direction D1. When the support member 3 moves forward with respect to the pushing member 4, the cosmetic M is sent out from the opening formed at the front end of the pushing member 4.

[0122] Thus, when the threaded cylinder 5 and the operation part 21 rotate relative to each other in one direction D2a, the first projection 42 of the pushing member 4 moves along the first groove 5a of the threaded cylinder 5, and the pushing member 4 pushes up the lid part 61 to open the first opening 221a. And the second projection 32 of the support member 3 moves along the second groove 5b of the threaded cylinder 5 and the support member 3 moves forward, whereby the cosmetic M is sent out from the first opening 221a. Thus, the dispensing container 1 changes from the accommodated state to the use state.

[0123] When the threaded cylinder 5 and the operation part 21 rotate relative to each other in the opposite direction D2b, as shown in (c) of Figure 20 , the second projection 32 of the support member 3 moves backward along the second groove 5b of the threaded cylinder 5, the support member 3 moves in the axis direction D1, and the cosmetic M sinks into the first opening 221a. The first projection 42 of the pushing member 4 moves from the second inclined groove 5d of the threaded cylinder 5 toward the first inclined groove 5c, and the second projection 32 moves backward along the third inclined groove 5e. At this time, the first projection 42 is located in the second inclined groove 5d, and the moving speed of the support member 3 in the axis direction D1 is faster than the moving speed of the pushing member 4 in the axis direction D1. Therefore, the support member 3 moves in the axis direction D1 (moves backward) with respect to the pushing member 4. The support member 3 moves backward with respect to the pushing member 4, whereby the support member 3 and the cosmetic M move backward with respect to the pushing member 4 together.

[0124] When the screw cylinder 5 and the operation part 21 are further relatively rotated in the opposite direction D2b, the first protrusion 42 moves from the second inclined groove 5d to the first inclined groove 5c. And the first protrusion 42 moves rearward along the first inclined groove 5c, and the second protrusion 32 moves rearward along the third inclined groove 5e. At this time, the first protrusion 42 is located in the first inclined groove 5c, and the moving speed of the pushing member 4 in the axial direction D1 is faster than the moving speed of the supporting member 3 in the axial direction D1. Therefore, the pushing member 4 moves (moves rearward) relative to the supporting member 3 in the axial direction D1. Before the supporting member 3 reaches the bottom dead center which is its descending limit, the pushing member 4 starts to move (move rearward) in the axial direction D1 toward the supporting member 3. In this specification, the "bottom dead center" refers to the position of the supporting member 3 at the limit where the supporting member 3 can move rearward.

[0125] When the screw cylinder 5 and the operation part 21 are further relatively rotated in the opposite direction D2b, the cosmetic M is accommodated in the accommodation cylinder 22, and the pushing member 4 moves away rearward from the lid part 61, whereby the lid part 61 is closed. Thus, the delivery container 1 changes from the use state to the accommodation state. And by pressing the locking member 7 toward the operation part 21, the delivery container 1 changes from the unlocked state to the locked state. The guiding part 7f protrudes radially inward of the locking member 7. Therefore, when the locking member 7 is pressed toward the operation part 21, the guiding part 7f contacts the lid part 61 of the inner lid 6. The guiding part 7f has the function of guiding the lid part 61 to the locking part 7c and gradually blocking the lid part 61. Therefore, by the contact between the guiding part 7f and the lid part 61, the first opening 221a is gradually blocked. In the present embodiment, the guiding part 7f is in a right triangle shape. Therefore, as the contact between the front end of the guiding part 7f and the lid part 61 progresses from the rear end of the guiding part 7f, the lid part 61 gradually closes the first opening 221a.

[0126] Next, the effects obtained from the delivery container 1 of the present embodiment will be described. As Figure 4 、 Figure 20 (a) of Figure 20 (b) of Figure 20As shown in FIG. (c), in the dispensing container 1, the container 2 has a receiving portion 221 for containing the cosmetic M and a first opening 221a for the cosmetic M to be exposed, and the first opening 221a is opened and closed by the lid portion 61. The dispensing container 1 includes a locking member 7, and the locking member 7 locks the lid portion 61 in a state where the lid portion 61 closes the first opening 221a. By locking the lid portion 61 with the locking member 7 and maintaining the state where the lid portion 61 closes the first opening 221a, it is possible to prevent the first opening 221a of the dispensing container 1 from being inadvertently opened by the user. When the locking member 7 moves in the axial direction D1 relative to the container 2, the locking of the lid portion 61 is released, and at this time, the cosmetic M becomes a state where it can be exposed from the first opening 221a. Therefore, if the user does not move the locking member 7 in the axial direction D1, the locking of the lid portion 61 cannot be released, and at this time, the exposure of the cosmetic M from the first opening 221a can be restricted. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cosmetic M from being inadvertently exposed from the first opening 221a, and thus it is possible to prevent the items located around the dispensing container 1 from being soiled.

[0127] The locking member 7 has a cylindrical shape into which the container 2 is inserted. The container 2 has an operation portion 21 that is operated when the container 2 rotates relative to the locking member 7 in order to dispense the cosmetic M. In a state where the locking member 7 locks the lid portion 61, the operation portion 21 cannot rotate relative to the locking member 7. When the locking of the lid portion 61 by the locking member 7 is released, the operation portion 21 can rotate relative to the locking member 7. By locking the lid portion 61 with the locking member 7, the cosmetic M is not easily exposed, and the operation portion 21 cannot rotate relative to the locking member 7, so that it is possible to prevent the cosmetic M from being inadvertently dispensed. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the cosmetic M from being exposed against the will of the user.

[0128] The lid portion 61 can rotate via a hinge portion 61b provided on the container 2. The lid portion 61 opens and closes the first opening 221a by rotating via the hinge portion 61b. The locking member 7 has: a second opening 7a through which the cosmetic M dispensed from the first opening 221a appears; and a locking portion 7c that abuts against the lid portion 61 to lock the lid portion 61. The lid portion 61 can rotate via the hinge portion 61b. The locking member 7 has a locking portion 7c that abuts against the lid portion 61 to lock the lid portion 61. Therefore, when the lid portion 61 rotates, the locking portion 7c abuts against the lid portion 61 along the direction of blocking the first opening 221a, whereby the lid portion 61 can be easily locked. As a result, it is possible to prevent the cosmetic M from being exposed against the will of the user. In addition, in a state where the lid portion 61 rotates and the first opening 221a is opened, the cosmetic M passing through the first opening 221a can be exposed via the second opening 7a. Therefore, the cosmetic M can be exposed without removing the locking member 7.

[0129] As Figure 4 、 Figure 20 in FIG. (a),Figure 20 as shown in (b) of Figure 20 and (c) of

[0130] As Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 shown, the accommodating portion 221 has a first guiding hole 221b and a second guiding hole 221c that penetrate the accommodating portion 221 and extend in the axial direction D1. The pushing member 4 is in a cylindrical shape into which the cosmetic M can enter and is movable in the axial direction D1 inside the accommodating portion 221. The pushing member 4 has a first protrusion 42 on its outer circumference that enters the first guiding hole 221b. The supporting member 3 has a second protrusion 32 on its outer circumference that enters the second guiding hole 221c. In this case, the first protrusion 42 enters the first guiding hole 221b of the accommodating portion 221, and the second protrusions 32 enter the second guiding holes 221c of the accommodating portion 221, respectively. In addition, the first guiding hole 221b and the second guiding hole 221c extend in the axial direction D1. Therefore, the pushing member 4 and the supporting member 3 are respectively connected to the accommodating portion 221 in a state where they can move in the axial direction D1. As a result, the parts for connecting the pushing member 4 and the supporting member 3 respectively can be made into one part (accommodating cylinder 22). As a result, miniaturization of the dispensing container 1 can be achieved.

[0131] The dispensing container 1 includes a threaded cylinder 5 into which the accommodating portion 221 is inserted and that has a groove on its peripheral wall. The container 2 has an operating portion 21 that is operated when the container 2 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5. As Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 13As shown, the groove of the threaded cylinder 5 includes a first groove 5a for the first protrusion 42 of the upward pushing member 4 to enter and a second groove 5b for the second protrusion 32 of the supporting member 3 to enter. When the threaded cylinder 5 and the operating portion 21 rotate relative to each other in one direction D2a, the first protrusion 42 moves along the first groove 5a, the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the cover portion 61 to open the first opening 221a, the second protrusion 32 moves along the second groove 5b, the supporting member 3 moves in the axial direction D1, and the cosmetic M is sent out from the first opening 221a. In this case, when the operating portion 21 rotates relative to the threaded cylinder 5 in one direction D2a, the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the cover portion 61 to open the first opening 221a, and the cosmetic M is sent out from the first opening 221a. Therefore, the action of opening the first opening 221a and the action of sending out the cosmetic M from the first opening 221a can be performed by one operation.

[0132] The first groove 5a for the first protrusion 42 of the upward pushing member 4 to enter includes: a first inclined groove 5c extending along a first inclined direction D3, which is a direction inclined with respect to the axial direction D1; and a second inclined groove 5d extending along a second inclined direction D4, which is a direction inclined with respect to both the axial direction D1 and the first inclined direction D3 from the end of the first inclined groove 5c. The second groove 5b for the second protrusion 32 of the supporting member 3 to enter includes a third inclined groove 5e extending along a third inclined direction D5, which is a direction inclined with respect to the axial direction D1, the first inclined direction D3, and the second inclined direction D4. The angle of the third inclined direction D5 with respect to the axial direction D1 is greater than the angle of the first inclined direction D3 with respect to the axial direction D1 and less than the angle of the second inclined direction D4 with respect to the axial direction D1. The first protrusion 42 moves from the first inclined groove 5c toward the second inclined groove 5d before or at the same time as the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the cover portion 61. In this case, before the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the cover portion 61, the first protrusion 42 moves in the first inclined groove 5c and the second protrusion 32 moves in the third inclined groove 5e. The angle of the third inclined direction D5 with respect to the axial direction D1 is greater than the angle of the first inclined direction D3 with respect to the axial direction D1.

[0133] Therefore, compared with the speed at which the support member 3 moves in the axial direction D1 to deliver the cosmetic M, the speed at which the upward pushing member 4 moves in the axial direction D1 to push up the lid portion 61 can be increased. Therefore, the operations can be performed in the order that after the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61 to open the first opening 221a, the support member 3 delivers the cosmetic M from the first opening 221a. In addition, the angle of the third inclined direction D5 with respect to the axial direction D1 is smaller than the angle of the second inclined direction D4 with respect to the axial direction D1. Therefore, after the upward pushing member 4 pushes up the lid portion 61, compared with the speed at which the upward pushing member 4 moves in the axial direction D1, the speed at which the support member 3 moves in the axial direction D1 to deliver the cosmetic M can be increased. Therefore, after the first opening 221a is opened, the excessive protrusion of the upward pushing member 4 can be suppressed, and the cosmetic M can be quickly delivered from the first opening 221a.

[0134] When the threaded cylinder 5 and the operation portion 21 rotate relative to each other in the opposite direction D2b, the second protrusion 32 moves along the second groove 5b, the support member 3 moves in the axial direction D1, and the cosmetic M is withdrawn from the first opening 221a. Before the support member 3 reaches the lower dead point which is its descending limit, the upward pushing member 4 starts to move in the axial direction D1 toward the support member 3. In this case, when the operation portion 21 is rotated relative to the threaded cylinder 5 in the opposite direction D2b, before the support member 3 reaches the lower dead point, the upward pushing member 4 starts to move in the axial direction D1 toward the support member 3. Therefore, compared with the case where the movement of the upward pushing member 4 starts after the withdrawal of the support member 3 is completed, the withdrawal operation after using the delivery container 1 can be performed quickly.

[0135] As Figure 4 and Figure 17As shown, the dispensing container 1 includes a cylindrical locking member 7 that covers the lid portion 61, houses the threaded cylinder 5, and is engaged with the threaded cylinder 5 so as to be rotatable synchronously. The locking member 7 has: a second opening 7a through which the cosmetic M dispensed from the first opening 221a is exposed; a locking portion 7c that locks the lid portion 61 by abutting against the lid portion 61; and a guiding portion 7f that projects radially inward of the locking member 7 from the peripheral wall and is used to guide the lid portion 61. In this case, since the locking member 7 covers the lid portion 61, the lid portion 61 is protected by the locking member 7 and is not easily damaged. In addition, since the locking member 7 has the second opening 7a through which the cosmetic M dispensed from the first opening 221a is exposed, the cosmetic M can be exposed without removing the locking member 7. Therefore, the lid portion 61 is even less likely to be damaged. Further, the lid portion 61 is guided by the guiding portion 7f that projects radially inward of the locking member 7 from the peripheral wall and is locked to the locking portion 7c, so the lid portion 61 is easily closed before the locking portion 7c abuts against the lid portion 61. In addition, the locking member 7 houses the threaded cylinder 5 and is engaged with the threaded cylinder 5 so as to be rotatable synchronously, so it can rotate relative to the operation portion 21. Therefore, the user can grasp the locking member 7 and easily rotate the operation portion 21 relatively.

[0136] As described above, the embodiments of the dispensing container of the present disclosure have been described. However, the dispensing container of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be further deformed within the scope of the gist described in the claims. That is, the shape, size, material, number, and arrangement of each part of the dispensing container of the present disclosure can be appropriately changed within the scope of the above-described gist.

[0137] The lid portion may also open and close the first opening 221a in a state of being connected to at least any one of the locking member 7, the container 2, and the threaded cylinder 5. For example, the lid portion may open and close the first opening 221a in a state of being connected to the locking member 7. In the dispensing container of the modified example, a lid portion connected to the locking member 7 may be provided instead of the inner lid 6 having the lid portion 61 and the locking member 7 having the guiding portion 7f. This lid portion may also be rotatable through a hinge portion provided on the inner peripheral surface of the locking member 7. This lid portion may also be closed by the front end of at least any one of the front end of the inner lid 6, the front end of the threaded cylinder 5, and the front end of the container 2 abutting against the front end of the locking member 7. On the other hand, this lid portion may also be opened by the front end of the inner lid 6, the front end of the threaded cylinder 5, and the front end of the container 2 moving away from the front end of the locking member 7.

[0138] The timing at which the first protrusion 42 moves can be appropriately changed. The same applies to the second protrusion 32 of the support member 3.

[0139] In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the accommodating portion 221 of the container 2 has a first guiding hole 221b and a second guiding hole 221c, the upward pushing member 4 has a first protrusion 42 inserted into the first guiding hole 221b, and the supporting member 3 has a second protrusion 32 inserted into the second guiding hole 221c. However, the accommodating portion may not have a guiding hole, and the upward pushing member and the supporting member may not have protrusions. Thus, the configurations of the container, the upward pushing member, and the supporting member can be appropriately changed. Regarding the configuration of the threaded cylinder, it is not limited to the above-described threaded cylinder 5 and can be appropriately changed.

[0140] In the above-described embodiment, the inner lid 6 having a hinged lid portion 61 that can rotate via the hinge portion 61b has been described. However, the lid portion is not limited to a hinged lid portion, and any structure that can open and close the first opening of the container is acceptable, and the type of the lid portion is not particularly limited. Moreover, the lid portion may not be provided on the inner lid 6. For example, the locking member 7 may have a lid portion instead of the inner lid 6. In this case, the locking of the lid portion may also be released when the locking member 7 is moved in the axial direction D1 with respect to the container 2 (operation portion 21), and the lid portion may be opened by the self-weight of the lid portion. Thus, the type of the part having the lid portion and the opening and closing method of the lid portion can be appropriately changed.

[0141] In the above-described embodiment, the dispensing container 1 has been described, which includes a container 2 having an operation portion 21 that can rotate relative to the locking member 7, and in the locked state, the operation portion 21 cannot rotate relative to the locking member 7, and in the unlocked state, the dispensing and retracting of the cosmetic M are performed by the relative rotation of the operation portion 21 with respect to the locking member 7. However, the screwing action may also be exerted by the relative rotation of the locking member 7 and the operation portion 21, so that the locking member 7 moves in the axial direction D1 with respect to the container 2, and the locking of the lid portion 61 is released. Moreover, the dispensing container may not be a dispensing container that dispenses cosmetics by relative rotation. The dispensing container may be a dispensing container having a dispensing mechanism such as a pressing type mechanical pushing mechanism and pushing out the cosmetics through this dispensing mechanism, or may be a dispensing container equipped with a squeezing type dispensing mechanism instead of relative rotation. Thus, the type of the dispensing mechanism can be appropriately changed.
