Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic carrier and a cosmetic container. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container includes an impregnated body impregnated with a cosmetic composition and a container for accommodating the impregnated body, the impregnated body being made of polyether-based urethane foam. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Special Publication No. 2013-530252 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned cosmetic container, an applicator may be pressed against the impregnated body to remove the cosmetic composition from the impregnated body. When the applicator is pressed against the impregnated body and the impregnated body is compressed, the cosmetic composition seeps out from the impregnated body. Some of the exuded cosmetic composition may find its way between the container and the impregnated body. The cosmetic composition that has entered between the container and the impregnated body is difficult to re-impregnate into the impregnated body. Therefore, there is a concern that the amount of cosmetic that can be removed from the impregnated body will decrease depending on the amount of cosmetic composition that has entered between the container and the impregnated body. Therefore, it is desirable to suppress the decrease in the amount of cosmetic that can be removed from the impregnated body.

[0005] An object of the present disclosure is to provide a cosmetic holder and a cosmetic container that can prevent a decrease in the amount of cosmetic that can be taken out. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The cosmetic support according to the present disclosure is (1) a cosmetic support that is impregnated with and supports cosmetics therein. The cosmetic support has an upper surface, a lower surface facing the opposite side of the upper surface, and an outer circumferential surface connecting the upper surface to the lower surface. Slits are formed in the lower surface and the outer circumferential surface, extending inward. When the lower surface is viewed from below, one end of the slit located at the edge of the lower surface, opposite the other end, is spaced apart from the edge of the lower surface.

[0007] This cosmetic holder has slits extending inward from the lower surface and outer peripheral surface. The slits extending inward from the lower surface and outer peripheral surface act on the cosmetic near the slits of the cosmetic holder, causing the cosmetic to enter the interior of the cosmetic holder through the slits. Because the slits extend into the interior of the cosmetic holder, the cosmetic that has entered the slits is easily re-impregnated into the interior. In this way, the cosmetic that has seeped out of the cosmetic holder can be returned to the interior of the cosmetic holder through the slits, making it easier for the cosmetic to be re-impregnated. As a result, a decrease in the amount of cosmetic that can be removed is suppressed. Furthermore, the other end of the slit, opposite to the one end located on the edge of the lower surface, is spaced from the edge of the lower surface. This suppresses the cosmetic holder from breaking apart.

[0008] (2) In the above (1), the slit may extend inward from the upper surface, and when viewed from above, one end of the slit located at the edge of the upper surface may be spaced apart from the edge of the upper surface. With this configuration, the cosmetic re-impregnated into the cosmetic holder can move toward the upper surface through the portion of the slit formed on the upper surface side. This makes it easier to position the cosmetic near the applicator body pressed against the cosmetic holder.

[0009] (3) In the above (1) or (2), multiple slits may be formed radially on the lower surface. According to this configuration, multiple slits are formed radially, extending from the edge of the lower surface toward the center of the lower surface. Therefore, cosmetics that have entered each slit from the edge of the lower surface can be moved toward the center of the lower surface. This allows the cosmetics to gather at the center of the lower surface. As a result, when a user presses the applicator body against the center of the cosmetic holder, the user can easily remove the cosmetics.

[0010] A cosmetic container according to the present disclosure (4) comprises a cosmetic holder according to any one of (1) to (3) above, and a container having an inner bottom surface and an inner peripheral surface connected to the inner bottom surface, and housing the cosmetic holder. When the cosmetic holder is housed in the container, the lower surface faces the inner bottom surface, and the outer peripheral surface faces the inner peripheral surface. This cosmetic container has the cosmetic holder described above. Because the lower surface faces the inner bottom surface and the outer peripheral surface faces the inner peripheral surface, it is easy to position the slit near the cosmetic accumulated on the inner bottom surface and the inner peripheral surface. Therefore, the cosmetic can be returned to the interior of the cosmetic holder through the slit. Therefore, this cosmetic container can achieve the same effects as the cosmetic holder described above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of cosmetic that can be taken out. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of a cosmetic holder and a cosmetic container according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, identical or corresponding elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted as appropriate. The drawings may be partially simplified or exaggerated for ease of understanding, and the dimensional proportions and the like are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0014] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a cosmetic container 1. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a cosmetic support 10. The cosmetic support 10 is impregnated with and supports a cosmetic. The cosmetic support 10 is made of, for example, PP (polypropylene) or PB (polybutene). The cosmetic is, for example, a viscous liquid cosmetic. The viscosity of the cosmetic is, for example, 3000 mPa·s or more and 25000 mPa·s or less.

[0015] The cosmetic container 1 contains a cosmetic support 10 impregnated with a cosmetic. The cosmetic container 1 containing the cosmetic support 10 is portable. The cosmetic container 1 includes a container 2 and the cosmetic support 10 contained in the container 2. The container 2 has a container body 21, a lid 22 that closes the container body 21, and a hinge 23 that rotatably supports the lid 22 relative to the container body 21. The container body 21 has a bottomed tubular shape (for example, a cylindrical shape with a bottom). The container body 21 has a plate-shaped bottom 21a and a side wall 21b that stands up from the periphery of the bottom 21a. The bottom 21a has a disk shape, for example.

[0016] In the following description, the direction perpendicular to the bottom 21a may be referred to as the up-down direction D1. The direction from the bottom 21a toward the side wall 21b may be referred to as "up," "upper," or "upper," and the direction from the side wall 21b toward the bottom 21a may be referred to as "down," "lower," or "lower." With respect to a cylindrical part such as the container body 21, in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the part, the direction toward the axis or the direction away from the axis may be referred to as the "radial direction." "Radially outward" refers to the radial direction away from the axis, and "radially inward" refers to the radial direction toward the axis. "Circumferential direction" refers to the direction along a ring centered on the axis.

[0017] The bottom 21a has an inner bottom surface 21c facing the inside of the container body 21. The container body 21 is arranged so that the inner bottom surface 21c faces upward. The side wall 21b has an inner circumferential surface 21d facing the inside of the container body 21. The inner circumferential surface 21d faces radially inward. The inner circumferential surface 21d extends upward from the outer edge of the inner bottom surface 21c.

[0018] The lid portion 22 has, for example, a bottomed tubular shape (a bottomed cylindrical shape as an example). The lid portion 22 has a top surface 22a and a side wall 22b standing upright from the periphery of the top surface 22a. For example, the top surface 22a has a disk shape. For example, the outer diameter of the top surface 22a is equal to the outer diameter of the bottom portion 21a. When the lid portion 22 is closed, the top surface 22a faces the bottom portion 21a, and the side wall 22b is aligned with the side wall 21b in the vertical direction D1. When the lid portion 22 is closed, the length of the side wall 22b in the vertical direction D1 is shorter than the length of the side wall 21b in the vertical direction D1.

[0019] Hinge 23 is made up of, for example, a combination of multiple cylindrical parts. When lid 22 rotates relative to container body 21 via hinge 23, these parts rotate relative to each other. For example, when lid 22 is fully opened relative to container body 21, top surface 22a is not positioned vertically above bottom 21a, but is positioned diagonally above bottom 21a.

[0020] The cosmetic material holder 10 has, for example, a cylindrical (disc-like) shape. For example, the diameter of the cosmetic material holder 10 is 30 mm or more and 60 mm or less. As an example, the diameter of the cosmetic material holder 10 is 46.5 mm. The cosmetic material holder 10 has an axis AX. The length of the cosmetic material holder 10 in the up-down direction D1 is longer than, for example, the length of the side wall 21b in the up-down direction D1. In this case, when the cosmetic material holder 10 is contained in the container body 21, a portion of the cosmetic material holder 10 protrudes from the container body 21. Note that the length of the cosmetic material holder 10 in the up-down direction D1 may be shorter than the length of the side wall 21b in the up-down direction D1.

[0021] The cosmetic holder 10 has an upper surface 10a facing upward and a lower surface 10b located on the opposite side of the upper surface 10a. The lower surface 10b faces the inner bottom surface 21c. For example, the lower surface 10b contacts the inner bottom surface 21c. When the lid portion 22 is closed, the upper surface 10a faces the top surface 22a. The sum of the length of the side wall 21b in the vertical direction D1 and the length of the side wall 22b in the vertical direction D1 is longer than the length of the cosmetic holder 10 in the vertical direction D1. When the lid portion 22 is closed, a space is formed between the upper surface 10a and the top surface 22a.

[0022] The cosmetic material holder 10 has an outer peripheral surface 10c. The outer peripheral surface 10c connects the upper surface 10a to the lower surface 10b. The outer peripheral surface 10c faces the inner peripheral surface 21d. The outer diameter of the cosmetic material holder 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the side wall 21b. A space S1 is formed between the outer peripheral surface 10c and the inner peripheral surface 21d.

[0023] The cosmetic support 10 has a plurality of (e.g., eight) slits 11. The slits 11 are, for example, cuts extending from the surface of the cosmetic support 10 into the interior of the cosmetic support 10. A portion of the cosmetic support 10 is not integrated with another portion on either side of the slit 11. The portion of the cosmetic support 10 is separated from the other portion via the slit 11. At least a portion of the portion may be in contact with the other portion.

[0024] The slits 11 will be described in more detail with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III in Figure 2. Line III-III in Figure 2 extends along the two slits 11 that sandwich the axis line AX. For convenience, the portion where the slits 11 are provided is surrounded by a dashed line in Figure 3.

[0025] The slit 11 has, for example, a lower slit 12 located below the slit 11 and an upper slit 13 located above the slit 11. The lower slit 12 is the lower part of the slit 11, and the upper slit 13 is the upper part of the slit 11. In this embodiment, the lower slit 12 and the upper slit 13 are integrated (one slit 11). That is, the slit 11 passes through the cosmetic holder 10 in the up-down direction D1. However, the lower slit 12 and the upper slit 13 do not have to be integrated. That is, the lower slit 12 may be separated from the upper slit 13 in the up-down direction D1.

[0026] The slits 11 extend from the outer peripheral surface 10c of the cosmetic support 10 to a midpoint of the cosmetic support 10. The multiple slits 11 are formed at positions spaced apart from one another. For example, the lengths of the multiple slits 11 are equal when viewed from below. In this embodiment, the lower slits 12 extend from the lower surface 10b and the outer peripheral surface 10c into the cosmetic support 10. The upper slits 13 extend from the upper surface 10a and the outer peripheral surface 10c into the cosmetic support 10. The lower slits 12 have a lower edge 12a located on the lower surface 10b and an upper edge 12b located opposite the lower edge 12a. In this embodiment, the upper edge 12b is located at the boundary between the lower slit 12 and the upper slit 13. The lower slit 12 has an outer edge 12c located on the outer peripheral surface 10c and an inner edge 12d aligned radially with the outer edge 12c.

[0027] The inner edge 12d is spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface 10c. The inner edge 12d does not reach the outer peripheral surface 10c. In other words, when the lower surface 10b is viewed from below, the other end (inner edge 12d) of the slit 11 opposite to one end (outer edge 12c) located on the edge (outer peripheral surface 10c) of the lower surface 10b is spaced apart from the edge of the lower surface 10b.

[0028] The multiple lower slits 12 are formed radially on the lower surface 10b. "Radially" refers to a state in which multiple lines extend in directions away from a single point on the cosmetic holder. When the cosmetic holder 10 is viewed from below, the multiple lower slits 12 extend from the periphery of the lower surface 10b toward the axis AX. The lower slits 12 do not reach the axis AX. The axis AX, inner edge 12d, and outer edge 12c are aligned radially in this order.

[0029] When the cosmetic carrier 10 is viewed from below, one end of the lower slit 12 located on the edge of the lower surface 10b, the other end of the lower slit 12 opposite to the one end, and the axis AX (in other words, the center of the lower surface 10b) are aligned in this order. The multiple lower slits 12 do not intersect with each other. The multiple lower slits 12 are formed at positions spaced apart from each other. The multiple lower slits 12 do not cross the cosmetic carrier 10. In other words, the lower slits 12 do not penetrate the cosmetic carrier 10 in the radial direction.

[0030] For example, when the lower slit 12 is extended radially inward, it overlaps with the axis AX. However, when the lower slit 12 is extended radially inward, it may be offset from the axis AX. The length of the lower slit 12 when viewed from below is shorter than the radius of the cosmetic holder 10. The length of the lower slit 12 when viewed from below is, for example, 50% or more and 80% or less of the radius of the cosmetic holder 10.

[0031] The upper slit 13 has an upper edge 13a located on the upper surface 10a and a lower edge 13b located opposite the upper edge 13a. In this embodiment, the lower edge 13b is located at the boundary between the lower slit 12 and the upper slit 13. The upper slit 13 has an outer edge 13c located on the outer peripheral surface 10c and an inner edge 13d aligned radially with the outer edge 13c. The inner edge 13d is spaced apart from the outer peripheral surface 10c. When the upper surface 10a is viewed from above, the other end (inner edge 13d) of the slit 11 opposite to one end (outer edge 13c) located on the edge (outer peripheral surface 10c) of the upper surface 10a is spaced apart from the edge of the upper surface 10a.

[0032] The multiple upper slits 13 are formed radially on the upper surface 10a. When the cosmetic holder 10 is viewed from above, the multiple upper slits 13 extend from the periphery of the upper surface 10a toward the axis AX. The upper slits 13 do not reach the axis AX. The axis AX, inner edge 13d, and outer edge 13c are aligned in this order along the radial direction. When the cosmetic holder 10 is viewed from above, one end of the upper slits 13 located on the edge of the upper surface 10a, the other end opposite to that end of the upper slits 13, and the axis AX (in other words, the center of the upper surface 10a) are aligned in this order.

[0033] For example, when the upper slit 13 is extended radially inward, it overlaps with the axis AX. However, when the upper slit 13 is extended radially inward, it may be offset from the axis AX. The multiple upper slits 13 do not intersect with each other. The multiple upper slits 13 do not cross the cosmetic holder 10. Like the lower slits 12, the upper slits 13 do not penetrate the cosmetic holder 10 in the radial direction. The length of the upper slit 13 when viewed from above is, for example, the same as the length of the lower slit 12 when viewed from below.

[0034] For example, when viewed along the up-down direction D1, the multiple slits 11 are arranged so as to surround the axis AX. As an example, the multiple slits 11 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. For example, the angle formed between two adjacent slits 11 along the circumferential direction is 45 degrees. However, this angle does not have to be 45 degrees and is not particularly limited. The multiple slits 11 do not have to be arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction.

[0035] The impregnation of the cosmetic material holder 10 with the cosmetic material will be described with reference to Figures 4(a) and 4(b). Figure 4(a) is a schematic diagram showing how the cosmetic material located at the boundary between the outer peripheral surface 10c and the lower surface 10b penetrates into the interior of the cosmetic material holder 10. Figure 4(b) is a schematic diagram showing how the cosmetic material located at the lower surface 10b penetrates into the interior of the cosmetic material holder 10. The cosmetic material located at the boundary between the outer peripheral surface 10c and the lower surface 10b is, for example, the cosmetic material that has accumulated at the bottom of the space S1 (see Figure 1). The cosmetic material is located near the outer edge 12c. The cosmetic material enters the lower slit 12 via the outer edge 12c, for example. The lower slit 12 has a corner R, which is the portion where the outer edge 12c intersects with the lower edge 12a. A capillary force acts on the cosmetic material that has entered the lower slit 12 via the outer edge 12c, causing the cosmetic material to spread radially into the inside of the slit 11 with the corner R as the center.

[0036] 4(a) and 4(b), the direction of movement of the cosmetic is indicated by arrows. A portion of the cosmetic reaches the upper edge 13a, for example, by moving upward from the corner R and radially inward. If the color of the cosmetic differs from the color of the cosmetic support body 10, the state of the cosmetic being impregnated into the cosmetic support body 10 can be seen by observing the cosmetic passing through the slit 11. A portion of the cosmetic reaches the inner edge 12d and the inner edge 13d, for example, by moving radially inward from the corner R and upward.

[0037] The cosmetic located on the lower surface 10b is, for example, the cosmetic accumulated between the lower surface 10b and the inner bottom surface 21c (see FIG. 1). The cosmetic is located near the lower edge 12a. Capillary force acts on the cosmetic at the lower edge 12a, causing it to spread linearly along the lower edge 12a. The cosmetic enters the lower slit 12 via the lower edge 12a, for example. Capillary force acts on the cosmetic that has entered the lower slit 12 via the lower edge 12a, causing the cosmetic to move upward from the lower edge 12a.

[0038] Next, the effects obtained from the cosmetic holder 10 and cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The cosmetic holder 10 has slits 11 (e.g., lower slits 12) that extend inward from the lower surface 10b and the outer peripheral surface 10c. The slits 11 that extend inward from the lower surface 10b and the outer peripheral surface 10c act on the cosmetic located near the portion of the cosmetic holder 10 where the slits 11 are formed, causing the cosmetic to enter the interior of the cosmetic holder 10 through the slits 11. Because the slits 11 extend into the interior of the cosmetic holder 10, the cosmetic that has entered the slits 11 is easily re-impregnated into the interior.

[0039] Cosmetic that seeps out of the cosmetic support body 10 can be returned to the interior of the cosmetic support body 10 through the slits 11, making it easier for the cosmetic to be re-impregnated. As a result, a decrease in the amount of cosmetic that can be removed can be suppressed. Furthermore, the other end of the slit 11 opposite to one end located on the edge of the lower surface 10b (outer peripheral surface 10c) is separated from the edge of the lower surface 10b. This prevents the cosmetic support body 10 from being separated. In this embodiment, the cosmetic support body 10 is not separated, so it can be treated as a single cosmetic support body 10.

[0040] The slits 11 (e.g., upper slits 13) extend inward from the upper surface 10a. When the upper surface 10a is viewed from above, one end of the slit 11 is located on the edge of the upper surface 10a, while the other end is spaced apart from the edge of the upper surface 10a. With this configuration, the cosmetic that has re-impregnated into the interior of the cosmetic holder 10 can move toward the upper surface 10a via the portion of the slit 11 that is formed on the upper surface 10a side. This makes it easier to position the cosmetic near the applicator that is pressed against the cosmetic holder 10.

[0041] A plurality of slits 11 are formed radially on the lower surface 10b. According to this configuration, a plurality of slits 11 are formed radially, extending from the edge of the lower surface 10b toward the center of the lower surface 10b. Therefore, the cosmetic that has entered each slit 11 from the edge of the lower surface 10b can be moved toward the center of the lower surface 10b. This causes the cosmetic to gather at the center of the lower surface 10b. As a result, when the user presses the applicator body against the center portion of the cosmetic holder 10, the user can easily remove the cosmetic.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 1 , the cosmetic container 1 includes a cosmetic holder 10 and a container 2 that houses the cosmetic holder 10 and has an inner bottom surface 21c and an inner circumferential surface 21d connected to the inner bottom surface 21c. When the cosmetic holder 10 is housed in the container 2, the bottom surface 10b faces the inner bottom surface 21c, and the outer circumferential surface 10c faces the inner circumferential surface 21d. This cosmetic container 1 includes the cosmetic holder 10 described above. Because the bottom surface 10b faces the inner bottom surface 21c and the outer circumferential surface 10c faces the inner circumferential surface 21d, it is easy to position the slit 11 near the cosmetic accumulated on the inner bottom surface 21c and the inner circumferential surface 21d. Therefore, the cosmetic can be returned to the interior of the cosmetic holder 10 through the slit 11. Therefore, this cosmetic container 1 provides the same effects as the cosmetic holder 10 described above.

[0043] A cosmetic carrier according to a first modified example will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a bottom view of a cosmetic carrier 10A according to the first modified example. The cosmetic carrier 10A differs from the cosmetic carrier 10 described above in that it has 16 slits 11. For example, the angle between two circumferentially adjacent slits 11 is 22.5 degrees.

[0044] The cosmetic material holder 10A has a greater number of slits 11 extending inward from the outer peripheral surface 10c than the cosmetic material holder 10 described above, and the cosmetic material accumulated in the container body 21 is more likely to be located near the slits 11. As a result, more cosmetic material can easily enter the slits 11, allowing more cosmetic material to be re-impregnated into the cosmetic material holder 10A. Note that, like the cosmetic material holder 10A, the number of slits 11 can be changed as appropriate. The number of slits 11 may be 7 or less, 9 to 15, or more, or 17 or more.

[0045] A cosmetic carrier according to a second modified example will be described with reference to Figure 6. Figure 6 is a bottom view of a cosmetic carrier 10B according to the second modified example. The cosmetic carrier 10B differs from the cosmetic carrier 10 in that it has slits 14 that are different from the slits 11. The slits 14 extend, for example, parallel to one another. For example, the cosmetic carrier 10B extends from the edge of the lower surface 10b (the outer peripheral surface 10c) to a position where it intersects with an imaginary line L. The imaginary line L is an imaginary straight line that passes through the axis AX and extends radially of the cosmetic carrier 10B.

[0046] When viewed from below, the slits 14 have one end 14a located at the edge of the cosmetic support 10B and the other end 14b located opposite the one end 14a. The other end 14b is spaced apart from the edge of the cosmetic support 10B. That is, the other end 14b does not reach the edge of the cosmetic support 10B. For example, an imaginary line L is located between the one end 14a and the other end 14b. For example, some of the multiple slits 14 are first slits extending from the outer peripheral surface 10c located on one side of the imaginary line L toward the imaginary line L, and the remaining multiple slits 14 are second slits extending from the outer peripheral surface 10c located on the other side of the imaginary line L toward the imaginary line L. For example, the first slits and the second slits are arranged alternately along the imaginary line L.

[0047] As described above, in the cosmetic holder 10B, each of the multiple slits 14 passes through the axis AX and intersects with an imaginary line L that extends in the radial direction of the cosmetic holder 10B. With this configuration, the length of the slits 14 when viewed from below can be made longer than when the slits do not intersect with the imaginary line L. When the length of the slits 14 when viewed from below is longer, the area in which the slits 14 are provided becomes larger, and therefore the cosmetic that has entered the interior of the cosmetic holder 10B through the slits 14 can be distributed over a wider area.

[0048] The above describes embodiments and various modifications of the cosmetic holder and cosmetic container according to the present disclosure. However, the cosmetic holder and cosmetic container according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described embodiments or modifications, and may be further modified within the scope of the gist described in the claims. In other words, the shape, size, material, number, and arrangement of each part of the cosmetic holder and cosmetic container according to the present disclosure can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the gist described above.

[0049] In each of the above-described embodiments, the lengths of the multiple slits 11 when viewed from below are equal to one another. However, the length of one slit 11 when viewed from below may be different from the length of another slit 11. In other words, the lengths of the multiple slits 11 may be different from one another.

[0050] In the above-described embodiment, the slit 11 has a lower slit 12 and an upper slit 13. However, the slit 11 may have a lower slit 12 without having an upper slit 13. The length of the lower slit 12 in the up-down direction D1 may be longer than half the length of the cosmetic holder 10 in the up-down direction D1, or may be less than half the length of the cosmetic holder 10 in the up-down direction D1.

[0051] When the slits 11 do not have an upper slit 13 but have a lower slit 12, the lower slits 12 may intersect with each other. With this configuration, the slits 11 do not divide the cosmetic holder 10, and the area in which the slits 11 are provided can be widened.

[0052] In the above-described embodiment, the inner edge 13d is aligned with the inner edge 12d in the up-down direction D1. However, the inner edge 13d may be positioned radially inward of the inner edge 12d in the cosmetic holder 10. That is, the length of the upper slit 13 when viewed from above may be longer than the length of the lower slit 12 when viewed from below. With this configuration, the strength of the cosmetic holder 10 can be maintained by shortening the length of the lower slit 12 when viewed from below. Furthermore, the area in which the slits 11 are provided can be widened by increasing the length of the upper slit 13 when viewed from above. Conversely, the inner edge 13d may be positioned radially outward of the cosmetic holder 10 in the inner edge 12d. That is, the length of the lower slit 12 when viewed from below may be longer than the length of the upper slit 13 when viewed from above.

[0053] In the cosmetic holder 10B according to the second modified example described above, each of the multiple slits 14 intersects with the imaginary line L. However, each of the multiple slits 14 does not have to intersect with the imaginary line L. With this configuration, the length of the slits 14 when viewed from below is shortened, thereby maintaining high strength of the cosmetic holder 10B.

[0054] In the above-described embodiment, the cosmetic support 10 is described as having slits 11 extending inward from the lower surface 10b and the outer peripheral surface 10c. However, the cosmetic support may have slits extending inward from the upper surface 10a and the outer peripheral surface 10c, instead of the slits 11 extending inward from the lower surface 10b and the outer peripheral surface 10c. In other words, the lower surface 10b may not have slits. The cosmetic support according to the present disclosure may be as follows. A cosmetic material holder that is impregnated with and holds a cosmetic material therein, The top surface and a lower surface facing opposite to the upper surface; an outer circumferential surface connecting the upper surface to the lower surface; and slits are formed extending from the upper surface and the outer circumferential surface to the interior, When the upper surface is viewed from above, one end of the slit located on the edge of the upper surface is opposite to the other end thereof, and the other end is spaced apart from the edge of the upper surface.

[0055] The above-described cosmetic holder has slits extending inward from the top surface and outer periphery. The slits extending inward from the top surface and outer periphery act on the cosmetic located near the slits of the cosmetic holder, causing the cosmetic to enter the interior of the cosmetic holder through the slits. Furthermore, the other end of the slit, opposite to the one end located on the edge of the top surface, is spaced apart from the edge of the top surface. Therefore, the above-described cosmetic holder achieves the same effects as the cosmetic holder 10 described above. [Explanation of symbols]
