[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a powder container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a powder container 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0010] The powder container 10 comprises a container body 11 for storing the contents (not shown), an inner lid member 12 attached to the top of the container body 11, a puff 13 for applying the contents, and a cap 14 for covering the puff 13 stored in the inner lid member 12 from above.

[0011] The container body 11 includes a container bottom wall 11a, a cylindrical body portion 11b extending upward from the peripheral edge of the container bottom wall 11a, and a mouth portion 11c. The space surrounded by the container bottom wall 11a and the body portion 11b is a storage space 11d for storing the contents, which may be powder, such as, but not limited to, cosmetics.

[0012] The mouth portion 11c is cylindrical and extends upward from the upper end of the body portion 11b. A cap engaging portion 11e is provided on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 11c, with which the cap 14 engages. The cap engaging portion 11e is a male thread portion formed on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 11c. 1, the powder container 10 is shown in an upright position, with the powder container 10 placed upright so that the axis 11f of the mouth portion 11c is oriented vertically. The axis 11f is the center line of the mouth portion 11c and is arranged coaxially with the axis of the body portion 11b.

[0013] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the inner lid member 12 as seen from above. 1 and 2, the inner lid member 12 is disposed in the mouth portion 11c to close the mouth portion 11c. The inner lid member 12 comprises a lower inner lid 21 that is positioned inside the mouth portion 11c and closes the mouth portion 11c, an upper inner lid 22 that overlaps the lower inner lid 21 from above, and a hinge portion 23 that connects the lower inner lid 21 and the upper inner lid 22.

[0014] The inner lid member 12 can be opened and closed by the upper inner lid 22 swinging about the hinge portion 23. 1 shows a closed state in which the upper inner lid 22 overlaps the lower inner lid 21 from above and abuts against the lower inner lid 21. FIG. 2 shows an open state in which the upper inner lid 22 swings about the hinge portion 23 and is separated from the lower inner lid 21. 1 corresponds to the cross section II of FIG. 2 when the inner lid member 12 attached to the container body 11 is in the closed state.

[0015] The lower inner lid 21 includes a disk-shaped lower bottom wall 24, a cylindrical lower peripheral wall 25 extending upward from the peripheral edge of the lower bottom wall 24, and an annular lower flange portion 26 extending radially outward from the upper end of the lower peripheral wall 25. In a plan view, the centers of the lower bottom wall 24 and the lower peripheral wall 25 coincide with the position of the axis 11f. The lower inner lid 21 is fixed to the mouth 11c by the upper end of the lower peripheral wall 25 engaging with the inner periphery of the mouth 11c and the lower surface of the lower flange 26 abutting against the upper surface of the mouth 11c. The lower peripheral wall 25 extends vertically along the inner periphery of the mouth portion 11c. The lower bottom wall 24 is a horizontal plate-like member located at the lower part of the mouth portion 11c and faces the container bottom wall 11a from above. The contents are stored in a storage space 11d located between the lower bottom wall 24 and the container bottom wall 11a.

[0016] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the cross section III-III in FIG. 2 when the inner lid member 12 attached to the container body 11 is in an open state. When the inner lid member 12 is in the open state as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the puff 13 can be stored inside the lower inner lid 21. More specifically, the lower bottom wall 24 and the lower peripheral wall 25 form a lower puff storage section 27 capable of storing the puff 13. The lower bottom wall 24 is the bottom of the lower puff storage section 27. The lower lid 21 has a first spout 31 and a second spout 32 formed in the lower bottom wall 24 .

[0017] 1 to 3, the first spout 31 is a collection of a plurality of holes 31a that penetrate the lower bottom wall 24. The holes 31a are arranged in a cluster at the center of the lower bottom wall 24 in the radial direction of the lower bottom wall 24.

[0018] 2 and 3, the second spout 32 is a single hole that penetrates the lower bottom wall 24. The second spout 32 is disposed radially outward of the first spout 31 in the lower bottom wall 24. The second spout 32 is disposed between the first spout 31 and the lower peripheral wall 25, closer to the lower peripheral wall 25. The second spout 32 is an elongated hole that extends along the lower peripheral wall 25 in the vicinity of the second spout 32 in a plan view. The second spout 32 is preferably larger than the hole 31a of the first spout 31, and is not particularly limited to an elongated hole, and may be, for example, circular.

[0019] The opening area of ​​the second pouring outlet 32 ​​is larger than the opening area of ​​one hole 31a. Moreover, the overall opening area of ​​the first pouring outlet 31 is larger than the opening area of ​​the second pouring outlet 32. The first pouring outlet 31 is provided over a wider area than the second pouring outlet 32.

[0020] Furthermore, the inner lid member 12 is provided with a lower cylindrical protrusion 33 that extends upward from the peripheral edge of the second pouring outlet 32. The inner periphery of the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 is continuous with the inner periphery of the second pouring outlet 32.

[0021] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the cross section III-III in FIG. 2 when the inner lid member 12 attached to the container body 11 is in a closed state. The upper inner lid 22 includes a disk-shaped upper bottom wall 41, a cylindrical upper peripheral wall 42 extending upward from the peripheral edge of the upper bottom wall 41, and an annular upper flange portion 43 extending radially outward from the upper end of the upper peripheral wall 42. In a plan view, the centers of the upper bottom wall 41 and the upper peripheral wall 42 coincide with the position of the axis 11f.

[0022] The upper bottom wall 41 is disk-shaped and has a smaller outer diameter than the lower bottom wall 24. The upper peripheral wall 42 is cylindrical and has a smaller diameter than the lower peripheral wall 25. When the inner lid member 12 is in the closed state as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the upper bottom wall 41 and the upper peripheral wall 42 of the upper inner lid 22 are housed in the lower puff housing portion 27 of the lower inner lid 21. When the inner lid member 12 is in the closed state, the lower surface of the upper bottom wall 41 abuts against the upper surface of the lower bottom wall 24, and the upper inner lid 22 is supported from below by the lower inner lid 21. Furthermore, when the inner lid member 12 is in the closed state, the upper peripheral wall 42 is disposed inside the lower peripheral wall 25, and the upper flange portion 43 faces the lower flange portion 26 from above.

[0023] When the inner lid member 12 is in the closed state, the puff 13 can be stored inside the upper inner lid 22, as shown in FIG. More specifically, the upper bottom wall 41 and the upper peripheral wall 42 form an upper puff storage section 44 capable of storing the puff 13. The upper bottom wall 41 is the bottom of the upper puff storage section 44. The puff 13 is cylindrical with a diameter greater than its height. The puff 13 is stored in the upper puff storage section 44 with the lower surface of the puff 13 abutting against the upper surface of the upper bottom wall 41 and the outer periphery of the puff 13 fitting into the inner periphery of the upper peripheral wall 42. Note that, as will be described later, the outer periphery of the puff 13 does not have to fit into the inner periphery of the upper peripheral wall 42 as long as the puff 13 can close the hole 52 when stored in the upper puff storage section 44.

[0024] The upper inner lid 22 has a plurality of protrusions 51 that protrude downward from the underside of the upper bottom wall 41. The protrusions 51 are arranged so that when the inner lid member 12 is in the closed state, the protrusions 51 overlap the holes 31a of the first spout 31 from above.

[0025] Additionally, the upper inner lid 22 has a hole 52 formed in the upper bottom wall 41. The hole 52 is a hole that penetrates the upper bottom wall 41. The hole 52 is positioned so that the hole 52 overlaps the second spout 32 from above when the inner lid member 12 is in the closed state. Hole 52 is an elongated hole that extends along second pouring outlet 32 ​​and has a larger diameter than second pouring outlet 32. Hole 52 is disposed outward of protrusion 51 in the radial direction of upper bottom wall 41. Hole 52 is disposed between protrusion 51 and upper peripheral wall 42, close to the upper peripheral wall 42.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 2, the hinge portion 23 connects the lower flange portion 26 and the upper flange portion 43 at a position offset by approximately 90° in the circumferential direction of the lower bottom wall 24 from the second spout 32. The upper inner lid 22 has a notch 53 formed by cutting out the upper flange 43 at a position opposite the hinge 23, and a band-shaped grip 54 extending from the notch 53.

[0027] 1, the cap 14 includes a top wall portion 14a that covers the puff 13 and the inner lid member 12 from above, a cylindrical cap peripheral wall portion 14b that extends downward from the peripheral edge of the top wall portion 14a, and an engaging portion 14c that is provided on the inner periphery of the cap peripheral wall portion 14b. The engaging portion 14c is a female thread portion that screws into the cap engaging portion 11e of the mouth portion 11c. The cap 14 can be attached to and detached from the opening 11c by screwing the engagement portion 14c into the cap engagement portion 11e.

[0028] Next, an example of how to use the powder container 10 will be described. 1, when the powder container 10 is not in use and is stored, the inner lid member 12 is closed, the puff 13 is stored in the upper puff storage compartment 44, and the cap 14 is attached to the opening 11c. The grip portion 54 of the inner lid member 12 is folded and sandwiched between the puff 13 and the top wall portion 14a of the cap 14, and the puff 13 is pressed against the upper puff storage compartment 44 by the top wall portion 14a. In this storage state, all holes 31a of the first spout 31 of the lower inner lid 21 are covered and blocked from above by the upper bottom wall 41 of the upper inner lid 22. In detail, the protrusions 51 enter the holes 31a from above, thereby effectively blocking the holes 31a.

[0029] In addition, in the above-mentioned storage state, as shown in Figure 4, the hole portion 52 of the upper inner lid 22 overlaps the second spout 32 of the lower inner lid 21 from above, and the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 of the lower inner lid 21 fits into the inner circumference of the hole portion 52 from below. Furthermore, in the above-described storage state, the hole 52 is covered and blocked from above by the puff 13 stored in the upper puff storage section 44, as shown in FIG. In this way, in the above-mentioned storage state, the first spout 31 is blocked by the upper bottom wall 41, and the hole 52 leading to the second spout 32 is blocked by the puff 13, so that the contents can be kept sealed within the storage space 11d.

[0030] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the contents P are being poured out from the second pouring outlet 32 ​​through the hole 52. As shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows a first use state in which the content P can be poured only from the second pouring outlet 32. When the cap 14 and the puff 13 are removed from the state shown in Fig. 1 and the inner lid member 12 is closed, the powder container 10 enters the first use state shown in Fig. 5. When the puff 13 is removed from the state shown in Fig. 4, the powder container 10 enters the first use state.

[0031] In the first state of use, the first spout 31 is blocked by the upper bottom wall 41, and the second spout 32 is exposed to the outside of the container body 11 through the hole 52 in the upper bottom wall 41. Therefore, in the first state of use, the contents P are not poured out from the first spout 31, but can be poured out from the second spout 32 via the hole 52.

[0032] In FIG. 5, the cap 14 is placed upside down so that the inner surface of the cap 14 faces upward, and is used as a tray for the contents P poured out from the hole 52. When the user wishes to apply the contents P to the target using an applicator such as a brush instead of the puff 13, the contents P can be poured out from the hole 52 and collected on the inner surface of the cap 14, which is placed upside down as shown in Figure 5. The user can then bring the brush into contact with the contents P collected on the inner surface of the cap 14, causing the contents P to adhere to the brush.

[0033] 5, the user holds the portion of upper inner lid 22 opposite to hinge portion 23 to keep inner lid member 12 in the closed state, and tilts powder container 10 so that hole 52 is located at the bottom of powder container 10, and shakes powder container 10. Then, a portion of content P in storage space 11d moves due to the vibration, is poured out through second pouring outlet 32 ​​and hole 52, falls downward, and is collected in cap 14, which serves as a tray. In this way, since the contents P can be poured only from the second pouring outlet 32 ​​while the first pouring outlet 31 is closed, scattering of the contents P can be prevented, and the contents P can be easily poured out. In addition, excessive pouring of the contents P can be prevented. Furthermore, since the contents P are poured out from the hole portion 52, which has an opening area larger than the opening area of ​​one hole 31a in the first pouring outlet 31, the contents P can be poured out in a consolidated state, the contents P can be poured out efficiently, and the scattering of the contents P can be effectively suppressed.

[0034] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the inner lid member 12 is in an open state and the contents are attached to the puff 13. FIG. 6 shows a second use state in which the contents can be dispensed from the first and second spouts 31 and 32 to the puff 13. When the cap 14 is removed from the state shown in Fig. 1, the inner lid member 12 is opened, and the puff 13 is stored in the lower puff storage compartment 27, the powder container 10 enters the second use state shown in Fig. 6. Fig. 3 also shows the second use state.

[0035] In the second state of use, the upper inner lid 22 swings via the hinge portion 23 to separate from the lower inner lid 21, and the first spout 31 and the second spout 32 of the lower inner lid 21 are blocked by the underside of the puff 13 stored in the lower puff storage portion 27. The user can easily open the inner lid member 12 by pulling the upper inner lid 22 upward via the grip portion 54. Since the puff 13 is made of a highly elastic material, the portion of the underside of the puff 13 that overlaps the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 elastically deforms so as to come into close contact with the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 as shown in FIG.

[0036] 6, the user holds the powder container 10 in the second use state while pressing the puff 13 against the lower puff storage compartment 27, and shakes the powder container 10. As a result, some of the contents in the storage space 11d are moved by the vibration and directly adhere to the underside of the puff 13 from the first and second outlets 31 and 32. In this way, by switching to the second use state, the contents can be attached to the puff 13 from both the first and second outlets 31 and 32, and the contents can be attached over a wide area of ​​the puff 13.

[0037] 4, the puff 13 is provided to fit into the upper puff storage compartment 44. The inner diameter of the upper puff storage compartment 44 is smaller than the inner diameter of the lower puff storage compartment 27. Therefore, when the puff 13 is stored in the lower puff storage compartment 27 in the second use state as shown in FIG. 3, a gap D1 is formed between the inner periphery of the lower puff storage compartment 27 and the outer periphery of the puff 13. Here, when the puff 13 is placed in the center of the lower puff storage section 27 in a plan view, as shown in FIG. 3, the distance D2 between the outer edge of the second spout 32 and the outer periphery of the puff 13 is larger than the gap D1. As a result, even if the puff 13 moves radially by the distance of the gap D1 within the lower puff storage section 27, the puff 13 remains covering the second outlet 32. Therefore, when the contents are attached to the puff 13 in the second use state, the contents are prevented from leaking out from the second outlet 32 ​​beyond the puff 13.

[0038] As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, powder container 10 includes container body 11 that stores powdered contents, and inner lid member 12 that closes opening 11c of container body 11. Inner lid member 12 includes lower inner lid 21 that is disposed inside opening 11c and closes opening 11c, and upper inner lid 22 that can be positioned in a closed state in which it overlaps lower inner lid 21 from above and abuts against lower inner lid 21, and an open state in which it is detached from lower inner lid 21. Lower inner lid 21 includes lower puff storage section 27 that can store puff 13 for applying the contents inside lower inner lid 21 in the open state, and first and second spouts 31 and 32 formed in lower bottom wall 24 (bottom) of lower puff storage section 27. The upper inner lid 22 includes an upper puff storage section 44 that can store a puff 13 inside the upper inner lid 22 in the closed state, and a hole 52 provided in the upper bottom wall 41 (bottom) of the upper puff storage section 44. In the closed state, the first spout 31 is blocked by the upper bottom wall 41 of the upper puff storage section 44, and the second spout 32 is exposed through the hole 52. In the open state, when a puff 13 is stored in the lower puff storage section 27, the first spout 31 and the second spout 32 are blocked by the puff 13. According to this configuration, when the puff 13 is stored in the lower puff storage section 27 in the open state, the first and second outlets 31 and 32 are blocked by the puff 13, and therefore, by shaking the powder container 10 in this state, the contents can be attached to the puff 13 in the lower puff storage section 27 through the first and second outlets 31 and 32. Furthermore, in the closed state, the first outlet 31 is blocked by the upper bottom wall 41 of the upper puff storage section 44, and the second outlet 32 ​​is exposed through the hole 52. Therefore, when the powder container 10 is shaken in this state, the contents are not dispensed through the first outlet 31 but are dispensed through the second outlet 32. Therefore, in the open state, the contents can be attached to the puff 13 through the first and second outlets 31 and 32 of the inner lid member 12, and in the closed state, the contents can be poured out only through the second outlet 32, making it easy to pour the contents out of the powder container 10.

[0039] Furthermore, when the puff 13 is stored in the upper puff storage section 44 in the closed state, the hole 52 is blocked by the puff 13 . According to this configuration, in the closed state, the hole 52 can be blocked with a simple structure by using the puff 13 stored in the upper puff storage portion 44.

[0040] Furthermore, when the puff 13 is placed in the center of the lower puff storage section 27 in the open state, a gap D1 is formed between the inner circumference of the lower puff storage section 27 and the outer circumference of the puff 13, and the second outlet 32 ​​is positioned radially inward from the outer circumference of the puff 13, so that even if the puff 13 moves radially by the amount of the gap D1, the puff 13 blocks the second outlet 32. According to this configuration, even if a gap D1 is formed between the inner periphery of the lower puff storage section 27 and the outer periphery of the puff 13 in the open state, the second outlet 32 ​​can be blocked by the puff 13. Therefore, the contents can be attached to the puff 13 through the second outlet 32, and leakage of the contents from the second outlet 32 ​​can be suppressed.

[0041] Furthermore, since the second spout 32 is positioned further outward than the first spout 31 in the radial direction of the lower inner lid 21, it is easy to pour the contents out from the second spout 32 even when the amount of contents remaining in the container body 11 is low or when the contents have settled at the edge of the container body 11.

[0042] In addition, a lower cylindrical protrusion 33 is provided that protrudes upward from the periphery of the second spout 32, and the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 fits into the hole 52 in the closed state. According to this configuration, the engagement between the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 and the hole 52 allows the second spout 32 and the hole 52 to be appropriately aligned, allowing the contents to be poured out smoothly from the second spout 32. Furthermore, because the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 extends into the hole 52, the contents are prevented from getting between the second spout 32 and the hole 52. Therefore, the contents can be poured out smoothly through the second spout 32 and the hole 52.

[0043] The upper inner lid 22 also has a protrusion 51 that protrudes downward, and the protrusion 51 fits into the first spout 31 in the closed state. According to this configuration, the protrusion 51 can block the first spout 31, effectively blocking the first spout 31. Furthermore, the protrusion 51 of the upper inner lid 22 fits into the first spout 31 of the lower inner lid 21, so the upper inner lid 22 and the lower inner lid 21 can be positioned and the second spout 32 can be properly exposed from the hole 52. Therefore, the contents can be poured out well through the second spout 32 and the hole 52.

[0044] Furthermore, the powder container 10 is provided with a cap 14 that is detachably attached to the opening 11c, and the cap 14 covers the puff 13 stored in the upper puff storage section 44 from above. According to this configuration, the cap 14 can hold the puff 13 in the upper puff storage section 44, and the puff 13 can effectively block the hole 52. Furthermore, when dispensing the contents from the second spout 32 in the closed state, the cap 14 removed from the container body 11 can be used as a tray for the contents dispensed from the second spout 32. Therefore, there is no need to prepare a separate tray, and the contents can be easily dispensed from the second spout 32.

[0045] The inner lid member 12 also has a hinge portion 23 that connects the lower inner lid 21 and the upper inner lid 22, and the upper inner lid 22 swings around the hinge portion 23 to open and close between an open state and a closed state. With this configuration, the inner lid member 12 can be easily changed between an open state and a closed state via the hinge portion 23, and the upper inner lid 22 and the lower inner lid 21 can be positioned by the hinge portion 23, so that the second spout 32 can be properly exposed from the hole portion 52 in the closed state.

[0046] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiment, and unless otherwise limited in the above description, various modifications and variations are possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the claims. For example, the configurations of the above-described embodiment may be added or deleted as appropriate, and the configurations of one embodiment may be incorporated into other embodiments. Furthermore, the effects of the above-described embodiment are merely examples of the effects resulting from the present invention, and do not mean that the effects of the present invention are limited to the above-described effects. In the above embodiment, the lower cylindrical protrusion 33 is described as fitting into the hole 52 in the closed state, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the lower cylindrical protrusion 33, an upper cylindrical protrusion protruding downward from the periphery of the hole 52 may be provided, and in the closed state, the upper cylindrical protrusion may fit into the inner periphery of the second spout 32. With this configuration, the fit between the upper cylindrical protrusion and the second spout 32 makes it possible to appropriately align the positions of the second spout 32 and the hole 52. Furthermore, because the upper cylindrical protrusion extends into the second spout 32, the contents are prevented from entering between the second spout 32 and the hole 52. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the lower inner lid 21 and the upper inner lid 22 are connected by the hinge portion 23, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the upper inner lid 22 may be formed as a separate part from the lower inner lid 21 without providing the hinge portion 23, and the state in which the upper inner lid 22 is assembled to the lower inner lid 21 by stacking it from above may be defined as the closed state, and the state in which the upper inner lid 22 is detached from the lower inner lid 21 may be defined as the open state.
