Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic product set. [Background technology]

[0002] People who wear makeup often own multiple cosmetics so that they can select cosmetics with their preferred colors and textures depending on their mood or the situation. As a container for carrying multiple cosmetics together in an attractive manner even when out and about, there is one that has a base part on the side of a dish-shaped container body, and a fitting joint part on the base part to connect multiple container bodies and to rotate the container body around the fitting joint part to enable it to be deployed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-013662 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the cosmetic container in Patent Document 1 is made up of multiple connected dish containers of the same shape, and it is necessary to carry other cosmetic tools separately when applying makeup. Carrying multiple cosmetic tools for different uses individually makes the cosmetic box bulky and requires effort to find them.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present disclosure relates to a cosmetic product set that can carry together a plurality of cosmetic products that are used when applying makeup and have different usage patterns. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A cosmetic product set according to a first aspect of the present disclosure comprises a first container containing a first cosmetic product, which is a type of cosmetic product used when applying makeup, and a second container containing a second cosmetic product, which has a different mode of use from the first cosmetic product, and the first container and the second container each have a connecting structure for connecting them to each other. Note that the terms "comprise," "have," and "include" are to be construed as open-ended terms (i.e., meaning "including, but not limited to") unless otherwise specified.

[0007] With this configuration, a plurality of makeup-related products that are used in different ways when applying makeup can be stored together, allowing for efficient application of makeup when in use.

[0008] In addition, a cosmetic-related product set according to a second aspect of the present disclosure is the cosmetic-related product set according to the first aspect of the present disclosure, further comprising one or more additional containers containing cosmetic-related products having a different usage pattern from the first cosmetic-related product and the second cosmetic-related product, and the additional containers have a connecting structure for connecting to at least one of the first container and the second container.

[0009] With this configuration, it is possible to carry a wider variety of cosmetic products in a compact manner.

[0010] Furthermore, a cosmetic-related product set according to a third aspect of the present disclosure is a cosmetic-related product set according to the first or second aspect of the present disclosure, wherein each of the cosmetic-related products is one or more selected from the group consisting of finishing cosmetics, skin cosmetics, perfumes, and cosmetic tools.

[0011] This configuration allows you to carry any cosmetic-related products in a neat and organized manner.

[0012] Furthermore, a cosmetic-related product set according to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure is a cosmetic-related product set according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present disclosure, wherein the connecting structure of each of the plurality of containers includes an axial hole and is provided with a shaft that is passed through the axial hole of each of the plurality of containers, and each of the plurality of containers is connected so as to be rotatable around the shaft independently.

[0013] This configuration allows the plurality of containers to be kept connected together, while making it easy to take out the cosmetic products to be used.

[0014] Furthermore, a cosmetic-related product set according to a fifth aspect of the present disclosure is the cosmetic-related product set according to the fourth aspect of the present disclosure, wherein the shaft has a screw thread formed on the side of the end, and the container that is positioned outermost among the multiple containers when connected has a screw thread formed on the inner surface of the axial hole that engages with the screw thread of the shaft, and is provided with a mirror.

[0015] By configuring it in this manner, the outermost container used to connect multiple containers can also have the function of a mirror, which is a type of cosmetic-related product, and the increase in thickness can be suppressed, thereby preventing the cosmetic-related product set from becoming larger.

[0016] Furthermore, a cosmetic-related product set according to a sixth aspect of the present disclosure is a cosmetic-related product set according to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present disclosure, wherein at least one of the plurality of containers is a palette containing a plurality of cosmetic trays for storing cosmetics.

[0017] With this configuration, a single container can accommodate multiple cosmetic products.

[0018] Furthermore, a cosmetic-related product set according to a seventh aspect of the present disclosure is a cosmetic-related product set according to any one of the first to sixth aspects of the present disclosure, wherein at least one of the plurality of containers has a lid portion provided with the connecting structure and a main body portion detachable from the lid portion, and the main body portion is configured as a dispensing container that can dispense and refill solid cosmetics.

[0019] With this configuration, it is possible to store solid cosmetics such as lip balm, and the convenience of use can be improved by using a dispenser container.

[0020] Furthermore, a cosmetic-related product set according to an eighth aspect of the present disclosure is a cosmetic-related product set according to any one of the first to seventh aspects of the present disclosure, wherein at least one of the plurality of containers has a cap portion provided with the connecting structure and a writing implement-shaped cylindrical portion that can be attached and detached to the cap portion.

[0021] With this configuration, it is possible to store and carry writing implement-type makeup products such as pencil eyebrow pencils and pencil eyeliners. [Effects of the Invention]

[0022] According to the present disclosure, multiple makeup-related products that are used when applying makeup and have different usage patterns can be stored together, allowing for efficient makeup application when used. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] 1A is a plan view of a base constituting a cosmetic product set according to one embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a side view of the base. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, identical or similar reference numerals are used to designate identical or corresponding components, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0025] First, a makeup product set 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "makeup set 1") according to one embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1, 2(A), and 2(B). Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the makeup set 1, showing the containers in an unfolded (unfolded) state. Fig. 2(A) is an exploded side view of the makeup set 1, and Fig. 2(B) is a cross-sectional view of the makeup set 1. The makeup set 1 allows multiple makeup products with different usage patterns to be neatly packed and carried.

[0026] Here, makeup-related products are products used in applying makeup, including cosmetics and cosmetic tools. Cosmetics are sometimes called cosmetics, and include finishing cosmetics, skin cosmetics, and perfumes. Examples of finishing cosmetics include foundation, concealer, makeup base, face powder, lipstick (including lipstick, lip balm, lip liner, lip pencil, and lip gloss), eye makeup (including eye shadow, eye color, eyeliner, and eyebrow makeup), and cheek cosmetics (also called blush and blush). Examples of skin cosmetics include lotions, cosmetic liquids (including moisturizers and essences), creams, and emulsions. Fragrances include parfum, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne. On the other hand, cosmetic tools are tools used in applying makeup, including applicators (cosmetic application brushes) for applying powders and the like, combs, scissors, tweezers, and mirrors.

[0027] Furthermore, the usage mode of a cosmetic product refers to the state of using the cosmetic product. Examples of different usage modes include cosmetics that are applied using an applicator, cosmetics filled in a writing implement-type container and applied using a writing implement, and cosmetics contained in a dispenser-type container and applied by dispensing the required amount. For example, eyebrow powder and pencil eyebrows are both cosmetics that are applied to the eyebrows and have the same purpose, but their usage modes are different because eyebrow powder is applied to the eyebrows using an applicator, while pencil eyebrows are applied by directly contacting the eyebrows. Furthermore, cosmetic tools such as applicators (brushes), combs, scissors, tweezers, and mirrors have different purposes, and therefore their usage modes are also different.

[0028] As mentioned above, there are many types of makeup-related products, and the more types of makeup-related products used when applying makeup, the more likely it is that a desired finish will be achieved. This explains why an increasing number of people own multiple types of makeup-related products. Meanwhile, makeup-related products typically exist as individual items for different uses. While some products are advertised as "multi-palettes," they merely contain multiple similar items, such as a variety of colors of cosmetics with the same use, or the ability to apply the same cosmetics to multiple areas of the face, such as the cheeks and eyes. Therefore, makeup-related products such as pencil-type or powder-type cosmetics, or mirrors for checking the makeup finish, which have different uses from the cosmetics contained in each palette, are typically kept separately. However, owning different makeup-related products individually not only takes up space in a makeup box or pouch, but also requires the effort of searching for the desired makeup-related product. Therefore, this disclosure describes a makeup set 1 that allows users to carry multiple makeup-related products with different uses in a cohesive and portable manner.

[0029] The makeup set 1 shown in FIGS. 1, 2A, and 2B includes a palette 10, a retractable product 20, a writing implement product 30, and a base 40. In this embodiment, the palette 10, the retractable product 20, the writing implement product 30, and the base 40 that make up the makeup set 1 are each independent and have a basic stick-like appearance (a long, thin, rectangular parallelepiped shape). Here, "a basic stick-like appearance" refers to a shape that can be considered stick-like when viewed broadly, ignoring details, even if it is not strictly stick-shaped. In this embodiment, the makeup set 1 is formed by stacking the palette 10, the retractable product 20, the writing implement product 30, and the base 40, each of which is roughly stick-shaped, in the thickness direction of the sticks and connecting them via a shaft 50 to form a single unit.

[0030] Referring also to FIG. 3, the palette 10 will be described. In this embodiment, the palette 10 primarily contains cosmetics such as powder and includes a stick-shaped palette container 11. The palette container 11 has two sides with the largest area, and multiple cosmetic trays 12 are provided on one of these sides. The cosmetic trays 12 are typically depressions formed on the corresponding side of the palette container 11 and capable of containing cosmetics. In this embodiment, six cosmetic trays 12 are arranged in a row, but the number of cosmetic trays 12 can be determined as appropriate. In this embodiment, each cosmetic tray 12 is formed as a square with sides of approximately 1 cm. However, the size and shape can be determined as appropriate. For example, the shape may be a square, a rectangle, a diamond, a polygon such as a pentagon or hexagon, or a circle or an ellipse.

[0031] Each cosmetic tray 12 can contain any of a variety of powder cosmetics, such as eye shadow, blush, eyebrow powder, shading, and highlighting. The cosmetics contained in each cosmetic tray 12 are not limited to powders, but may also be cream-like or solid. Each cosmetic tray 12 of a single palette container 11 may contain cosmetics for different purposes, cosmetics for the same purpose but in different colors, or cosmetics for the same purpose and color. In this embodiment, the palette container 11 has a storage groove 13 formed on the surface on which the cosmetic trays 12 are formed, for accommodating an applicator 18. The storage groove 13 extends along the longitudinal direction of the palette container 11 (along the direction in which the multiple cosmetic trays 12 are arranged). The surface of the palette container 11 opposite the surface on which the cosmetic trays 12 are formed is typically flat.

[0032] The pallet container 11 has an axial hole 14 formed at one end in the longitudinal direction. The axial hole 14 is formed so as to penetrate from the surface on which the decorative trays 12 are formed to the back surface. In other words, the axial hole 14 is formed so as to penetrate the stick-shaped pallet container 11 in the thickness direction. The axial hole 14 is typically formed in a circular shape. As viewed from the axial hole 14, the end of the pallet container 11 opposite the side on which the decorative trays 12 are provided may be formed in an arc shape concentric with the axial hole 14.

[0033] In this embodiment, the pallet 10 has a cover 15 that covers the decorative trays 12. The cover 15 is a thin plate-like member formed in a roughly rectangular shape large enough to cover each of the decorative trays 12 and the storage grooves 13, excluding the axial holes 14. The cover 15 has a fitting groove 16 formed on the side facing the pallet container 11. The fitting groove 16 is a groove that fits into the portion of the applicator 18 stored in the storage groove 13 that protrudes from the surface of the pallet container 11. The depth of the fitting groove 16 is smaller than the thickness of the thin plate-like member that constitutes the cover 15. The fitting groove 16 is typically formed in a position and size that corresponds to the storage groove 13 when the cover 15 is placed on the pallet container 11 in a plan view. The cover 15 is attached to the pallet container 11 by a pin 17. The pin 17 is typically provided near the axial holes 14 and near the longitudinal side opposite the storage groove 13. The cover 15 is adapted to move about the pin 17 in an arc along (parallel to) the surface of the pallet container 11 on which the decorative trays 12 are formed. The aforementioned fitting groove 16 is provided to prevent unintended movement of the cover 15 about the pin 17. The depth of the fitting groove 16 can be determined from this perspective; a shallower fitting groove 16 is preferable to prevent a decrease in the strength of the cover 15, while a deeper fitting groove 16 is preferable to prevent the cover 15 from opening unintentionally. Note that a portion of the cover 15 (e.g., a short side adjacent to the pin 17) may be configured to abut against a portion of the pallet container 11 (e.g., a raised portion provided on the outside of the shaft hole 14) to prevent the cover 15 from sliding in only one direction after covering the pallet container 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the palette 10 includes an applicator 18. The applicator 18 is used to apply the cosmetics contained in each cosmetic tray 12 to the skin. In this embodiment, the applicator 18 is a brush-type applicator, with a brush attached to one end of a rectangular prism-shaped shaft that is wide enough to fit into the storage groove 13 and the fitting groove 16. In this embodiment, where each cosmetic tray 12 contains powder cosmetics, a brush-type applicator 18 is preferred. However, shapes other than a brush-type applicator are also possible as long as they are compatible with the characteristics of the cosmetics contained in each cosmetic tray 12. The applicator 18 has a larger outer circumference at the other end (terminal end) of the shaft opposite the end where the brush is attached. Since the terminal end of the applicator 18 shaft is larger than the rest of the shaft, the corresponding portion of the palette container 11 has a deeper (larger) storage groove 13 and a corresponding portion of the cover 15 is cut out to accommodate the terminal end.

[0035] As described above, when applicator 18 is housed in housing groove 13, the shaft thereof protrudes slightly from the surface of pallet container 11. With this configuration, when applicator 18 is housed in housing groove 13 and fitting groove 16 with cover 15 covering pallet container 11, the side wall of fitting groove 16 provided in cover 15 (the portion corresponding to the depth of fitting groove 16) catches on the shaft of applicator 18, preventing cover 15 from rotating and sliding (moving in an arc). In other words, fitting groove 16 provided in cover 15 and applicator 18 work together to lock cover 15. The pallet 10 is configured such that when the applicator 18 is housed in the storage groove 13 and the fitting groove 16 while the cover 15 covers the pallet container 11, and the applicator 18 is pulled out of the storage groove 13 and the fitting groove 16, there is no longer anything interfering with the fitting groove 16 provided in the cover 15, and the cover 15 can rotate and slide relative to the pallet container 11.

[0036] The dispensing product 20 will be described with reference to both Figures 4(A) and 4(B). In this embodiment, the dispensing product 20 contains a stick-shaped lipstick container 21 that contains a lipstick 26, a cosmetic to be applied to the lips, in a solid stick form. The lipstick container 21 has a lid 22 and a main body 23. As shown in Figure 4(B), the main body 23 is detachable from the lid 22. The lipstick container 21 (dispensing product 20) with the main body 23 fitted into the lid 22 has substantially the same external shape and size as the pallet 10 (see Figure 3). Here, "substantially the same external shape and size" means that, even if there are differences in details due to differences in use and / or function, they have the same overall design concept and a sense of unity.

[0037] The lid portion 22 occupies approximately two-fifths of the longitudinal length of the lip container 21. An axial hole 24 penetrating the lid portion 22 in the thickness direction is formed in the end of the lid portion 22 opposite the side to which the main body portion 23 is connected. In other words, the axial hole 24 is provided in the lid portion 22. The axial hole 24 is typically formed to have the same shape and size as the axial hole 14 of the pallet 10 (see FIG. 3). Furthermore, the axial hole 24 is formed in a position that communicates with the axial hole 14 of the pallet 10 when the dispensable product 20 is stacked on the pallet 10. The end of the lid portion 22 on the side where the axial hole 24 is formed may be formed in an arc shape concentric with the axial hole 24, similar to the pallet container 11 (see FIG. 3). An opening is formed in the end face of the lid portion 22 on the side to which the main body portion 23 is connected, and a cavity is formed from the opening toward the interior (toward the axial hole 24).

[0038] The main body 23 is the portion that houses the solid, stick-shaped lipstick 26. The main body 23 has a fitting portion 25 formed at one longitudinal end and a rotating top 28 attached to the other end. The fitting portion 25 fits into the cavity of the lid 22 and is smaller than the portion of the main body 23 adjacent to the fitting portion 25. The fitting portion 25 fits into the lid 22 to such an extent that it will come off the lid 22 when an external force of a predetermined magnitude or greater is applied to the fitting portion 25 while it is fitted into the lid 22. The predetermined magnitude may be approximately the same as the force required to remove the cap of a known cylindrical lipstick.

[0039] The lip 26 housed in the main body 23 is held by a holding member 27. The holding member 27 is formed to hold the lip 26 by clamping it at the end opposite the lid 22, and has a shaft extending opposite the lip 26. The shaft of the holding member 27 is inserted into a cylindrical rotating top 28. Although a portion of the rotating top 28 is exposed, most of it penetrates the end face of the main body 23 and extends into the main body 23. A screw thread is formed on the outer surface of the shaft of the holding member 27 and on the cylindrical inner surface of the rotating top 28, and the two are interlocked. With this configuration, by rotating the exposed portion of the rotating top 28 forward or backward around the cylindrical axis, the holding member 27, and therefore the lip 26, can be moved toward or away from the rotating top 28.

[0040] The main body 23 is provided with a stopper 29 on the end face of the fitting portion 25. The stopper 29 has an opening for inserting and removing the lip 26. In this embodiment, the lip 26 is formed in a thin rectangular parallelepiped shape, so the opening is formed in a rectangular shape, but the shape and size of the opening can be changed as appropriate depending on the shape and size of the lip 26. The stopper 29 has the function of preventing the holding member 27 from slipping out of the end face of the fitting portion 25 and suppressing wobble of the lip 26 protruding from the opening of the stopper 29.

[0041] A writing implement-type product 30 will be described with reference to both Figures 5(A) and 5(B). In this embodiment, the writing implement-type product 30 contains cosmetics such as an eyeliner and an eyebrow pencil, and has a writing implement-type container 31. The writing implement-type container 31 has a cap portion 32, a pencil eyeliner 35, and a pencil eyebrow pencil 36. The cap portion 32 has an external shape and size that is generally the same as the lid portion 22 of the dispensing product 20 (see Figure 4(A)). Therefore, the cap portion 32 has an axial hole 34 that is similar to the axial hole 24 of the lid portion 22 (see Figure 4(A)). In other words, the axial hole 34 is provided in the cap portion 32. The axial hole 34 is formed in a position that communicates with the axial hole 14 and / or the axial hole 24 when the writing implement-type product 30 is stacked on the dispensing product 20 and / or the pallet 10. On the other hand, the cap portion 32 differs from the lid portion 22 (see Figure 4(A)) in that two openings, one to which the pencil eyeliner 35 is connected and the other to which the pencil eyebrow 36 is connected, are formed on the end face opposite the end where the axial hole 34 is formed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the pencil eyeliner 35 is a cosmetic product in liquid form contained in a writing implement-shaped container, corresponding to a cylindrical portion. The pencil eyeliner 35 has a brush tip at one end of the writing implement-shaped container, and the liquid eyeliner filled inside the container is transferred to and held by the tip. On the other hand, the pencil eyebrow 36 is a cosmetic product in the form of a solid, round rod contained in a writing implement-shaped container, also corresponding to a cylindrical portion. The pencil eyebrow 36 has a two-part structure in which the writing implement-shaped container is connected approximately midway along its length, and the round rod-shaped eyebrow can be advanced from the tip by rotating the rear end around its axis. In other words, the pencil eyebrow 36 serves as both a writing implement-shaped container and an advance-type container.

[0043] The pencil eyeliner 35 and the pencil eyebrow 36 are each detachably attached to the cap portion 32. When the pencil eyeliner 35 and the pencil eyebrow 36 are fitted into the cap portion 32, they each fit into an opening formed in the cap portion 32. The external force required to remove the pencil eyeliner 35 and the pencil eyebrow 36 from the cap portion 32 may be the same as the external force required to remove the main body 23 of the dispensing product 20 from the lid portion 22. In this embodiment, one cap portion 32 serves as a cap for two types of cosmetics: the direct-liquid pencil eyeliner 35 and the dispensing-type pencil eyebrow 36. As shown in FIG. 5(A), when the pencil eyeliner 35 and the pencil eyebrow 36 are fitted into the cap portion 32, the writing implement-type container 31 is formed so that its external shape and size are similar to those of the palette 10 (see FIG. 3) and the lip container 21 (see FIG. 4(A)). In addition, the combination of use (eyeliner, eyebrow) and container (writing implement type, dispensing type) can be selected at will.

[0044] The base 40 will be described with reference to both Figures 6(A) and 6(B). The base 40 is one of the outermost containers of the cosmetic set 1, which is composed of multiple connected containers. The base 40 includes a base container 41, a mirror 42, and a shaft receiver 43. The base container 41 is made of a generally thin plate-like member, and its external shape and size in a plan view (see Figure 6(A)) are substantially the same as those of the pallet 10 (see Figure 3). The mirror 42 is provided on the surface of the base container 41. The mirror 42 is sized to occupy most of the surface of the base container 41. The mirror 42 is typically embedded in the surface of the base container 41, and the surface of the base container 41 other than the portion where the mirror 42 is embedded is flush with the surface of the mirror 42. The mirror 42 itself is thin, which prevents the thickness of the base container 41 from increasing when the mirror 42 is embedded.

[0045] The shaft bearing 43 is provided at one end of the surface of the base container 41 on which the mirror 42 is provided. The shaft bearing 43 is a cylindrical member that protrudes perpendicularly to the surface of the base container 41 on which the mirror 42 is provided. The outer diameter of the shaft bearing 43 is formed to be sized to fit exactly into the shaft hole 14 of the pallet container 11 (see FIG. 3), the shaft hole 24 of the lipstick container 21 (see FIG. 4(A)), and the shaft hole 34 of the writing implement-type container 31 (see FIG. 5(A)). The shaft bearing 43 has a shaft hole 44 formed therein. In this embodiment, the shaft hole 44 extends from the shaft bearing 43 to the base container 41, and is formed to penetrate the entire base container 41 in the direction in which the axis of the shaft bearing 43 extends and in the direction of the thickness of the base container 41. However, if necessary, the axial hole 44 may be formed partway along the axis of the shaft bearing 43, or the entire axial direction of the shaft bearing 43 and partway along the thickness direction of the base container 41. Threads are formed on the surfaces of the shaft bearing 43 and base container 41 that form the boundary with the axial hole 44.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B), the pallet 10, the payout product 20, the writing implement-type product 30, and the base 40 configured as described above are connected via a shaft 50 to form the cosmetic set 1. The shaft 50 has a main portion 51, a threaded portion 52, and a head portion 53. In this embodiment, the main portion 51 is a cylindrical portion that accounts for the majority of the shaft 50. The cylindrical outer diameter of the main portion 51 is typically formed to fit snugly into the axial hole 14 of the pallet container 11 (see FIG. 3), the axial hole 24 of the lipstick container 21 (see FIG. 4(A)), and the axial hole 34 of the writing implement-type container 31 (see FIG. 5(A)). In other words, the outer diameter of the main portion 51 is typically the same as the outer diameter of the shaft receiver 43 of the base 40. In this embodiment, the axial length of the main portion 51 is formed to be greater than the combined thickness of the pallet container 11 and the lipstick container 21.

[0047] The threaded portion 52 extends axially from one end face of the cylindrical main portion 51 and constitutes the end of the shaft 50. The threaded portion 52 is formed in a cylindrical shape with an axis extending in the same straight line as the axis of the main portion 51, and has a screw thread formed on its outer surface. The screw thread of the threaded portion 52 is formed to engage with the screw thread formed on the inner surface of the axial hole 44 of the base 40 (see FIG. 6(A)). The axial length of the threaded portion 52 is set to a length such that when the pallets 10, the dispensable products 20, the writing implement-type products 30, and the bases 40 are stacked and connected by the shaft 50, the threaded portion 52 threaded into the axial hole 44 does not protrude from the back surface of the base container 41. The head portion 53 is provided on the other end face of the cylindrical main portion 51 and serves to hold the stacked pallets 10, the dispensable products 20, the writing implement-type products 30, and the bases 40 when the threaded portion 52 is threaded into the axial hole 44. The head 53 is larger than the diameter of the shaft hole 14 of the pallet container 11 and is formed to a size that prevents it from entering the inside of the shaft hole 14. As shown in FIG. 1, the head 53 may be formed with a groove into which a tool such as a screwdriver can be fitted.

[0048] Any one of the palette container 11, lipstick container 21, writing implement container 31, and base container 41 described above corresponds to the first container, the container adjacent to the first container corresponds to the second container, and any container other than the first container and the second container corresponds to the additional container. The makeup-related products contained in the first container correspond to the first makeup-related products, and the makeup-related products contained in the second container correspond to the second makeup-related products. For example, if the palette container 11 corresponds to the first container and the lipstick container 21 corresponds to the second container, the powder cosmetics contained in the cosmetic tray 12 correspond to the first makeup-related products, and the lipstick 26 corresponds to the second makeup-related products. Alternatively, if the writing implement container 31 corresponds to the first container and the base container 41 corresponds to the second container, the pencil eyeliner 35 and pencil eyebrow pencil 36 correspond to the first makeup-related products, and the mirror 42 corresponds to the second makeup-related products. The axial holes 14, 24, 34, 44 formed in the respective containers 11, 21, 31, 41 are structures for interconnecting the containers via the shaft 50, and correspond to connecting structures.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 2(A) and 2(B), the makeup set 1 according to this embodiment has a base 40 disposed at the outermost part (the bottom part in the plane of FIG. 2(B)). The writing implement product 30 is placed on top of the surface of the base 40 on which the mirror 42 is provided. At this time, the shaft receiver 43 of the base 40 is fitted into the shaft hole 34 of the writing implement container 31, and the writing implement product 30 is placed on top of the base 40. The retractable product 20 is then placed on top of the writing implement product 30, and the pallet 10 is placed on top of the retractable product 20. In this way, the makeup set 1 according to this embodiment has the pallet 10 disposed on the top tier and the base 40 disposed on the bottom tier, with the retractable product 20 and writing implement product 30 placed between them. The stacked pallet 10, the retractable product 20, the writing implement-type product 30, and the base 40 are connected by inserting the shaft 50 into each of the axial holes 14, 24, 34, and 44 from the pallet 10 side and screwing the threaded portion 52 into the axial hole 44. It is preferable to connect the pallet 10, the retractable product 20, and the writing implement-type product 30 sandwiched between the head 53 of the shaft 50 and the base container 41 so that they can move about the axis of the shaft 50 while minimizing gaps as much as possible to prevent movement in the axial direction of the shaft 50. In the cosmetic set 1 configured in this manner, each of the containers 11, 21, 31, and 41 can independently rotate about the axis of the shaft 50 (independently of the movement of the other containers). Furthermore, the cosmetic set 1 is typically sized to be held in one hand. When the cosmetic set 1 is carried in a bag or the like, the containers 11, 21, 31, and 41 are aligned (with their respective sides aligned to the same plane) to make it compact.

[0050] The makeup set 1 configured as described above can typically be used as follows. To use the powder cosmetics contained in the palette 10, the applicator 18 engages with the fitting groove 16 of the cover 15, locking the cover 15. First, move the applicator 18 away from the shaft 50 and pull it out of the palette container 11. This releases the fitting groove 16, allowing the cover 15 to be rotated about the axis of the pin 17 and opened. Opening the cover 15 reveals the powder cosmetics contained in each cosmetic tray 12. The user simply picks up the desired cosmetic with the brush of the applicator 18 and applies it to the skin. At this time, rotate the base 40 about the axis of the shaft 50 relative to the other containers 11, 21, and 31, shifting it in a plan view (in the direction of the axis of the shaft 50) to reveal the mirror 42, allowing the user to check the application status of the cosmetics. In this way, since the makeup set 1 is provided with the mirror 42 on the base 40, the mirror 42 can be used quickly without having to search for a separate mirror. When the use of the pallet 10 is finished, the cover 15 is closed to align the cover 15 with the pallet container 11, and then the applicator 18 is inserted into the storage groove 13. Once the applicator 18 is inserted, the cover 15 is locked.

[0051] When using the reel-type product 20, first, hold the lid portion 22 directly or indirectly with one hand, grasp the body portion 23 with the other hand, and move the grasped body portion 23 away from the shaft 50 to pull it out of the lid portion 22. Here, an example of indirectly holding the lid portion 22 is to hold the shaft 50 or a part of another container connected to the lid portion 22 by the shaft 50. When pulling out the body portion 23 from the lid portion 22, it is preferable to rotate the reel-type product 20 around the axis of the shaft 50 and shift the reel-type product 20 from the pallet 10 and / or the writing implement-type product 30 in a plan view, as this makes it easier to grasp the body portion 23. After pulling out the body portion 23 from the lid portion 22, rotate the rotating top 28 by hand around its axis, and the lip 26 housed in the body portion 23 will be pulled out through the opening of the stopper 29. Once the appropriate amount of lipstick 26 has been dispensed from stopper 29, rotation of rotating top 28 is stopped. In this state, the lipstick 26 can be applied to the lips by holding the main body 23 in one's hand and moving the dispensed lipstick 26 along the lips while placing it against the lips. At this time, by popping out mirror 42, as when using palette 10, the progress of application of lipstick 26 can be quickly confirmed through mirror 42. Once application of lipstick 26 to the lips is complete, the lipstick 26 dispensed from stopper 29 can be returned into main body 23 by rotating rotating top 28 in the opposite direction to the dispensing direction. Once the lipstick 26 has been returned into main body 23, it can be stored in its designated position by fitting main body 23 into lid 22. Note that with repeated use, the lipstick 26's volume decreases and its length shortens, eventually causing the retaining member 27 to come into contact with stopper 29. When the holding member 27 hits the stopper 29, the rotating top 28 cannot be rotated any further and the holding member 27 is stopped by the stopper 29, so that the holding member 27 can be prevented from slipping out of the main body part 23.

[0052] When using the pencil eyeliner 35 of the writing instrument-type product 30, first hold the cap portion 32 directly or indirectly with one hand, grasp the pencil eyeliner 35 with the other hand, and move it away from the shaft 50 to remove it from the cap portion 32. The manner in which the cap portion 32 is indirectly held is the same as for the lid portion 22. When removing the pencil eyeliner 35 from the cap portion 32, it is preferable to rotate the writing instrument-type product 30 around the axis of the shaft 50, thereby shifting the writing instrument-type product 30 from the retractable product 20 and / or base 40 in a plan view, making it easier to grasp the pencil eyeliner 35. Once the pencil eyeliner 35 is removed from the cap portion 32, the liquid eyeliner is held by the tip, so the tip can be brought into contact with the desired area around the eye to apply the liquid eyeliner to the skin. At this time, by popping out the mirror 42 in the same way as when using the palette 10 and the advance-type product 20, the status of the eyeliner application can be quickly checked using the mirror 42. Once the application of the eyeliner is complete, the pencil eyeliner 35 can be placed back into the cap portion 32 to keep it in place. When using the pencil eyebrow 36, just as when using the pencil eyeliner 35, it is simply pulled out from the cap portion 32 and placed back into the cap portion 32 after use. In this embodiment, the pencil eyebrow 36 is applied to the eyebrows by rotating the rear end of its two-part structure around its axis to extend the rod-shaped eyebrow pencil from the tip end, and then rotating the rear end in the opposite direction to retract it and place it back into the cap portion 32 after application is complete.

[0053] As described above, with the makeup set 1 according to this embodiment, by connecting the various makeup-related products for multiple usage modes together, the storage location of each makeup-related product is established, allowing users to use any item without confusion. Furthermore, since the multiple makeup-related products are neatly connected, space is saved and portability is enhanced. Furthermore, by providing the mirror 42 on the base 40, users do not need to carry a separate mirror, eliminating the need to search for a mirror while out and about, allowing users to apply makeup at any time and place. Thus, the makeup set 1 is compact and easy to carry, and since each makeup-related product has a designated storage location, it prevents clutter.

[0054] In the above explanation, the cover 15 of the pallet 10 is configured to be able to rotate around the axis of the pin 17, but it may also be configured to be able to open and close by sliding longitudinally away from and towards the shaft 50.

[0055] In the above description, the mirror 42 is provided on the surface of the base 40 on which the shaft receiver 43 is attached. However, the mirror 42 may also be provided on the back surface of the base 40 (the back surface of the container placed at the bottom). Alternatively, the cover 15 of the pallet 10, which is the container placed at the top, may be configured as a mirror (or may double as a mirror). If a mirror is provided on the back surface of the container placed at the bottom and / or on the surface of the container placed at the top, the mirror can be used without rotating the container around the axis of the shaft 50. On the other hand, if the mirror 42 is provided on the surface facing (covered by) the adjacent container, as in the cosmetic set 1 according to the present embodiment, the mirror 42 can be protected from damage such as scratches and cracks. If the mirror 42 is not necessary, the mirror 42 does not have to be provided on the base 40.

[0056] In the above description, the connecting structures are the axial holes 14, 24, 34, 44 formed in each container for passing the shaft 50 through, but other structures, such as a snap fit structure, may also be used.

[0057] In the above explanation, the pallet 10, the dispensing product 20, the writing implement product 30, and the base 40 are capable of rotatable movement around the shaft 50. However, if the cosmetic products 10, 20, 30, and 40 can be used without being shifted in a plan view, they do not have to be configured to be rotatable movement around the shaft 50. In this case, the axial holes 14, 24, 34, and 44 may have a shape other than a circle.

[0058] In the above description, the makeup set 1 is configured by connecting four makeup-related products, namely, the palette 10, the advance-type product 20, the writing implement product 30, and the base 40, in this order, but the order of arrangement can be changed as appropriate. Furthermore, the makeup-related products used in the makeup-related product set are not limited to these types, and other types can be selected as needed. Furthermore, the number of connected makeup-related products that make up the makeup-related product set may be five or more or three or less, as needed. When connecting a number of makeup-related products other than four, the length of the shaft 50 can be adjusted according to the number of makeup-related products to be connected. In other words, the types and numbers of the connected makeup-related products can be combined as desired. [Explanation of symbols]
