Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a solid cosmetic product and a base for producing a solid cosmetic product used therein. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional manufacturing method for producing solid cosmetics involves placing the container on a base having a flat surface with a plurality of insertion holes into which the open end of the container is inserted, inserting the container into each of the insertion holes, filling each of the container's storage compartments with cosmetics via the insertion holes in the base, and then sliding a plate-shaped body along the flat surface of the base to remove the cosmetics along the open end of the container via the plurality of insertion holes.

[0003] For example, the manufacturing method described in Patent Document 1 involves placing a container in a hopper (base) equipped with a hopper body (flat surface) having multiple discharge ports (insertion holes), filling each of the container's storage sections with cosmetics through the hopper's discharge ports, and then removing the cosmetics along the open edge of the container via the multiple discharge ports by sliding a rubber spatula (plate-shaped body) along the hopper body.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-145764 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the manufacturing method described in Patent Document 1, the spatula is slid along the arrangement direction of multiple outlets that are arranged in a predetermined direction. Therefore, when manufacturing solid cosmetics designed to fill multiple colored cosmetics into the storage section of a container, the multiple colored cosmetics scraped off at one outlet will come into contact with the adjacent outlet with the spatula and will be transferred to the filled cosmetics via the adjacent outlet, which will ultimately result in a loss of aesthetic appeal to the surface of the solid cosmetic.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing solid cosmetics that can produce solid cosmetics containing cosmetics of multiple colors in a container without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the surface, and a base for producing solid cosmetics to be used therefor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The method for producing a solid cosmetic product of the present invention is a method for producing a solid cosmetic product in which cosmetics of multiple colors are accommodated in a container, and includes a container placement step of placing the container on a base having a flat surface with multiple insertion holes into which the open end of the container is inserted by inserting the container into each of the insertion holes; a filling step of filling the cosmetics of multiple colors into each of the storage sections of the container through the insertion holes of the base; and a removal step of removing the cosmetics of multiple colors along the open end of the container through the multiple insertion holes by sliding a plate-like body along the flat surface of the base, wherein the removal step is carried out in a predetermined direction. In a row The device is characterized in that the plate-like body is slid in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the plurality of insertion holes are arranged, thereby removing cosmetics of multiple colors at once through the plurality of insertion holes.

[0008] According to this configuration, the removing step is performed in a predetermined direction. In a rowBy sliding the plate-like body in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the arranged insertion holes, the cosmetics of multiple colors are removed at once through the insertion holes, so that the cosmetics of multiple colors scraped off through one insertion hole do not come into contact with the adjacent insertion hole on the plate-like body, and do not transfer to the cosmetics filled through the adjacent insertion hole. Therefore, the method for manufacturing a solid cosmetic product can manufacture a solid cosmetic product in which cosmetics of multiple colors are stored in a container without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the surface.

[0009] In the present invention, it is preferable that the filling step fills the multi-colored cosmetics into the storage section of the container in such a way that the longest boundary line among the boundary lines appearing on the surface of the multi-colored cosmetics is positioned along the direction in which the plate-shaped body is slid in the removal step.

[0010] According to this configuration, the filling step fills the multi-colored cosmetics into the storage section of the container by aligning the longest boundary line among those appearing on the surface of the multi-colored cosmetics along the direction in which the plate-shaped body is slid in the removal step, thereby preventing the color of one cosmetic among the multi-colored cosmetics filled through one insertion hole from being transferred to an adjacent cosmetic of a different color.

[0011] In the present invention, it is preferable that the filling step fills the multiple color cosmetics into the storage section of the container by arranging the light color cosmetics and the dark color cosmetics in order along the direction in which the plate-shaped body is slid in the removal step.

[0012] According to this configuration, in the filling step, the multi-color cosmetics are filled into the storage portion of the container by arranging the light-color cosmetics and the dark-color cosmetics in order along the direction in which the plate-shaped body is slid in the removing step, so that the color of the light-color cosmetics in the multi-color cosmetics filled through one insertion hole is transferred to the adjacent dark-color cosmetics. This makes color transfer less noticeable compared to when the filling step is configured to fill the storage portion of the container with the multi-color cosmetics by arranging the dark-color cosmetics and the light-color cosmetics in order along the direction in which the plate-shaped body is slid in the removing step.

[0013] In the present invention, the base is provided on a flat surface along the arrangement direction of the multiple insertion holes, and has a wall portion provided on the tip side without being provided on the base end side in the sliding direction of the plate-shaped body, and it is preferable that the filling step involves inclining the flat surface so as to lower the wall portion vertically downward, and filling the multiple colors of cosmetics into the storage portion of the container.

[0014] According to this configuration, the removal step involves inserting the plate-shaped body from the base end side in the sliding direction, i.e., the side without the wall portion, and sliding the plate-shaped body along the flat surface of the base, thereby removing multiple colors of cosmetics along the opening edge of the container through the multiple insertion holes, making it easy to remove multiple colors of cosmetics. Furthermore, since the base is provided on a flat surface along the arrangement direction of the multiple insertion holes and has a wall portion provided at the tip side in the sliding direction of the plate-shaped body, the filling step can prevent the cosmetics from leaking from the side without the wall portion by tilting the flat surface so as to lower the wall portion vertically downward and filling the multiple colors of cosmetics into the storage portion of the container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an oily solid cosmetic according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, an oily solid cosmetic 1 is contained in a dispensing container 2 formed in an elliptical cylindrical shape. The dispensing container 2 has a storage section 21A for storing the oily solid cosmetic 1, and is equipped with a cylindrical main body 21 with a bottom, a neck 22 formed on the open end side of the main body 21, a placement section (not shown) that is stored inside the main body 21 and on which the oily solid cosmetic 1 is placed, a rotating section (not shown) attached to the bottom surface of the main body 21 so as to be rotatable around the central axis of the main body 21, and a cap 23 that is attached to the neck 22 to close the storage section 21A of the main body 21.

[0021] This feeding container 2 is designed so that the placement portion can be raised and lowered along the central axis of the main body portion 21 by rotating the rotation portion. A user of the oily solid cosmetic 1 can expose the oily solid cosmetic 1 from the main body 21 and use it by rotating the rotating part in the forward direction (see Figure 1), and can store the oily solid cosmetic 1 in the main body 21 by rotating the rotating part in the reverse direction.

[0022] Here, the oil-based solid cosmetic 1 is a cosmetic containing an oily component. Specifically, the oil-based solid cosmetic 1 is a cosmetic obtained by blending a solid fat such as candelilla wax or a liquid oil such as a hydrocarbon, with a pigment or the like as needed. This oil-based solid cosmetic 1 has good affinity with the skin and is used, for example, in makeup cosmetics such as gloss, lipstick, eye shadow, eyeliner, and oil-based foundation. It also comes in a variety of dosage forms, including solid, liquid, paste, and emulsion. In this embodiment, the oil-based solid cosmetic 1 maintains a solidity sufficient to maintain its shape at room temperature, but melts and becomes fluid when heated to 70°C or higher (more preferably 75°C or higher). In this embodiment, the oily solid cosmetic 1 is described as an example of the solid cosmetic of the present invention, but the present invention may also be applied to cosmetics other than oily ones.

[0023] This oil-based solid cosmetic 1 is formed in a stick shape as a whole, and includes a milky white cosmetic 11 (first cosmetic) arranged at one end (upper left in the figure) and a brown cosmetic 12 (second cosmetic) of a different color from the milky white cosmetic 11 and arranged at the other end (lower right in the figure) continuous with the milky white cosmetic 11. In other words, the oil-based solid cosmetic 1 has multiple colors (milky white and brown) of cosmetics 11, 12 containing oily ingredients arranged continuously from one end to the other.

[0024] If the surface of the elliptical oily solid cosmetic 1 is cut into four sections along the major and minor axes, the milky white cosmetic 11 has a shape corresponding to three of the four sections. If the surface of the oval-shaped oily solid cosmetic 1 is cut into four sections along the major and minor axes, the brown cosmetic 12 has a shape corresponding to one of the four sections. Therefore, the oily solid cosmetic 1 has a major axis side boundary line 13A which is the boundary line between the multiple colored cosmetics 11, 12 extending along the major axis on the surface of the elliptical oily solid cosmetic 1, and a minor axis side boundary line 13B which is the boundary line between the multiple colored cosmetics 11, 12 extending along the minor axis.

[0025] Here, cosmetics of different colors refer to cosmetics that can be distinguished from one another based on human vision, and include cosmetics with different brightness, saturation, and hue, as well as cosmetics of the same color but with different glossiness, such as those with and without pearlescent or the like.

[0026] The following describes a method for producing the oily solid cosmetic 1. All steps of the method for producing the oily solid cosmetic 1 may be performed using a production device, or each step may be performed manually by an operator.

[0027] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a production base for oily solid cosmetics used in the method for producing oily solid cosmetics. The production base 3 for the oily solid cosmetic 1 comprises a rectangular plate-shaped base plate 4 to be placed on the floor, two pillar members 5 standing on both sides of the base plate 4 in the longitudinal direction, and a rectangular plate-shaped top plate 6 spanning the pillar members 5.

[0028] The base plate 4 includes a support plate 41 that supports each of the pillar members 5, and a rectangular plate 42 that is arranged between each of the pillar members 5. This plate 42 is formed in a shape that corresponds to the bottom end of the main body 21 of the aforementioned dispensing container 2 (see FIG. 1), and has four recesses 42A that position the dispensing container 2 relative to the plate 42 by inserting the bottom end of the main body 21. Each of the pillar members 5 is fixedly attached to the support plate 41. Each of the pillar members 5 also includes a clip 51 attached to the side opposite to the plate 42, and an annular member 52 connected to the clip 51.

[0029] The top plate 6 is detachably attached to each of the pillar members 5. The top plate 6 includes a rectangular flat portion 61, a wall portion 62 attached to stand along the periphery of one long side and two short sides of the flat portion 61, and two hooks 63 that are provided at positions corresponding to the clips 51 and annular members 52 of each of the pillar members 5 and that cooperate with the clips 51 and annular members 52 of each of the pillar members 5 to fix the top plate 6 to each of the pillar members 5.

[0030] The flat surface portion 61 has four insertion holes 61A arranged along the longitudinal direction of the flat surface portion 61. Each insertion hole 61A is provided at a position corresponding to each recess 42A of the plate 42, and is designed so that the neck portion 22 (open end portion) of the aforementioned propelling container 2 (see FIG. 1) can be inserted into each insertion hole 61A.

[0031] The wall portion 62 has two short-side wall portions 62A arranged to stand along the short sides of the flat portion 61, and a long-side wall portion 62B arranged to stand along the long sides of the flat portion 61. The wall portion 62 is fixed to the flat portion 61 by fixing each short-side wall portion 62A to the flat portion 61 with two screws 62C.

[0032] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which a dispensing container is placed on a production base for an oily solid cosmetic product. To manufacture the oily solid cosmetic 1, first, as shown in FIG. 3, the dispensing containers 2 are placed on the manufacturing base 3 by inserting them into the insertion holes 61A formed in the top plate 6 of the manufacturing base 3 (container placement step).

[0033] Specifically, by opening the clips 51 of each pillar member 5, the annular member 52 is detached from the hooks 63, and the top plate 6 is removed from the substrate 4 and each pillar member 5.Then, the bottom side end of the main body 21 is inserted into the four recesses 42A formed in the plate 42 of the substrate 4 to position the four dispensing containers 2. Next, the neck 22 of the dispensing container 2 is inserted into each of the insertion holes 61A formed in the top plate 6 of the manufacturing base 3, and the top plate 6 is placed on each pillar member 5.Then, the annular member 52 is hooked onto the hook 63, and the clips 51 of each pillar member 5 are closed, thereby fixing the top plate 6 to the substrate 4 and each pillar member 5. This allows the dispensing container 2 to be placed on the production base 3 in the container placement step.

[0034] Here, the thickness of the flat portion 61 is set to be the same as the height of the neck portion 22 of the dispensing container 2. In addition, the height from the bottom surface of the four recesses 42A formed in the plate 42 of the substrate 4 to the flat portion 61 is set to be the same as the height of the main body 21 of the dispensing container 2. Therefore, by placing the dispensing container 2 on the manufacturing base 3 in the container placement step, the open end of the dispensing container 2 becomes flush with the flat portion 61. In this embodiment, by placing the dispensing container 2 on the production base 3 in the container placement step, the open end of the dispensing container 2 is flush with the flat surface 61, but it does not have to be flush. Specifically, it is sufficient that the open end of the dispensing container 2 does not protrude from the flat surface 61.

[0035] FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a production base for an oily solid cosmetic product and a partition member of a propelling container. The partition member 7 of the dispensing container 2 is a member made of silicone rubber. This partition member 7 includes a rectangular plate-shaped base 71, four through holes 72 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base 71, and four shafts 73 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base 71 so as to correspond to each through hole 72.

[0036] The base 71 is formed in a shape that fits inside the wall portion 62 of the top plate 6. The thickness of the base 71 is set to be slightly thinner than the height of the wall portion 62 (which is set to a height of 10 mm to 40 mm in this embodiment). Each through hole 72 has a cross-sectional shape that corresponds to the opening of the dispensing container 2 placed on the production base 3 in the container placement step. Also, each through hole 72 has a cross-sectional shape that corresponds to the surface shape of the milky white cosmetic 11. Each shaft 73 is formed in a columnar shape that protrudes outward from the plane of the base 71 (downward in the figure). Each shaft 73 has a cross-sectional shape that corresponds to the surface shape of the brown cosmetic 12.

[0037] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the partition member of the propelling container is attached to a production base for oily solid cosmetics. After the feeding container 2 is placed on the manufacturing base 3 in the container placement step, the partition member 7 is attached to the manufacturing base 3 as shown in FIG. As described above, each through-hole 72 has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the surface shape of the milky white cosmetic 11, and each shaft 73 has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the surface shape of the brown cosmetic 12, so that the storage section 21A of the propelling container 2 is divided by the shaft 73. This divides a portion of the storage section 21A into areas 21A1 (see FIG. 6) (partitioning step). When the partition member 7 is attached to the manufacturing base 3 at the partition step, the shaft 73 comes into contact with the bottom surface of the storage section 21A. In other words, the height of the shaft 73 corresponds to the depth of the storage section 21A.

[0038] Therefore, the partition step divides the storage section 21A into an area having the same shape as the brown cosmetic material 12 and the other area (an area having the same shape as the milky white cosmetic material 11). In this embodiment, the partition member 7 is made of silicone rubber, but it may be made of metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, or synthetic resin, or may be made of other materials. In short, the partition member only needs to be able to be inserted into the storage section of the container and separate the storage section, and may be selected appropriately depending on the formulation of the cosmetic, etc.

[0039] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the propelling container and the production base showing the state in which a milky white cosmetic material is being filled. By carrying out the partitioning step, the storage section 21A of the propelling container 2 is partitioned by the shaft body 73, as shown in FIG. 6(A). After the partitioning step is performed, the milky white cosmetic 11 containing oily ingredients is heated to melt it and make it fluid, and as shown in Figure 6(B), the milky white cosmetic 11 is filled through a nozzle N1 into a portion 21A1 of the storage section 21A divided in the partitioning step (first filling step).

[0040] Here, in the first filling step, the flat surface portion 61 is tilted so that the wall portion 62 is lowered vertically downward, and the storage portion 21A of the propelling container 2 is filled with the milky white cosmetic material 11. After the first filling step is performed, as shown in FIG. 6(C), the milky white cosmetic material 11 filled in the first filling step is cooled and solidified (first cooling step).

[0041] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the dispensing container and the production base showing the state in which brown cosmetic material is filled. After the first cooling step is performed, as shown in FIG. 7(A), the partition member 7 inserted into the storage section 21A in the partitioning step is removed (removal step). In the removal step, the partition member 7 is removed while restricting the movement of the milky white cosmetic material 11 that has solidified in the cooling step. Then, by removing the partition member 7 in the removal step, an area 21A2 having the same shape as the brown cosmetic material 12 can be formed in the storage section 21A.

[0042] After the removal step is performed, the brown cosmetic material 12 containing oily ingredients is heated to melt it and make it fluid, and as shown in Figure 7(B), the partition member 7 is removed in the removal step, thereby filling the brown cosmetic material 12 into the area 21A2 formed in the storage section 21A through the nozzle N2 (second filling step). Here, in the second filling step, the flat surface portion 61 is tilted so that the wall portion 62 is lowered vertically downward, and the storage portion 21A of the propelling container 2 is filled with the brown cosmetic 12. After the second filling step is performed, as shown in FIG. 7(C), the brown cosmetic material 12 filled in the second filling step is cooled and solidified (second cooling step).

[0043] Thus, in this embodiment, the partitioning step, first filling step, first cooling step, removal step, second filling step, and second cooling step are filling steps in which multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 are filled into each of the storage sections 21A of the dispensing container 2 through the insertion holes 61A of the production base 3.

[0044] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the propelling container and the manufacturing base showing the state in which the multi-colored cosmetics are being removed along the open edge of the propelling container. Specifically, Fig. 8(A) is a view showing the state immediately before the multi-colored cosmetics are removed, and Fig. 8(B) is a view showing the state immediately after the multi-colored cosmetics have been removed. Fig. 9 is a view of the manufacturing base seen from the top plate side showing the state immediately before the multi-colored cosmetics are removed. Fig. 10 is a view of the manufacturing base seen from the top plate side showing the state immediately after the multi-colored cosmetics have been removed.

[0045] After the second cooling step is performed, as shown in Figures 8(A) and 9, a rectangular plate-shaped spatula 8 (plate-shaped body) is brought into contact with the flat surface 61 of the top plate 6. Then, as shown in Figures 8(B) and 10, the spatula 8 is slid along the flat surface 61 of the production base 3 in the direction of the arrow in the figure, thereby removing the multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 along the open edge of the dispensing container 2 through the multiple insertion holes 61A (removing step). Note that the multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 after removal are not shown in Figure 10.

[0046] Here, the spatula 8 has a width slightly narrower than the distance between the short side wall portions 62A of the wall portion 62. Therefore, in the removal step, the spatula 8 is slid along a direction (the short side direction of the flat surface portion 61) perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the multiple insertion holes 61A arranged along the longitudinal direction (predetermined direction) of the flat surface portion 61, thereby removing the multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 at once through the multiple insertion holes 61A. In this embodiment, the spatula 8 is used as the plate-like body, but other plate-like bodies may also be used. In short, it is sufficient for the plate-like body to be able to remove multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 at once through the multiple insertion holes 61A.

[0047] Thus, in this embodiment, the manufacturing base 3 is provided on the flat portion 61 along the arrangement direction of the multiple insertion holes 61A (the longitudinal direction of the flat portion 61), and is provided with a wall portion 62 that is not provided on the base end side (one end side) of the sliding direction of the spatula 8 (a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the flat portion 61) but on the tip end side (the other end side). According to this, the filling step involves tilting the flat portion 61 so as to lower the wall portion 62 vertically downward, thereby filling the storage portion 21A of the dispensing container 2 with multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12, thereby preventing the cosmetics 11, 12 from leaking from the side without the wall portion 62 (see Figure 9).

[0048] In addition, in this embodiment, the filling step fills the storage section 21A of the dispensing container 2 with the multiple-color cosmetics 11, 12 in such a way that the longest boundary line, i.e., the long-axis side boundary line 13A, among the boundary lines (long-axis side boundary line 13A and short-axis side boundary line 13B) appearing on the surface of the multiple-color cosmetics 11, 12 is positioned along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removal step. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the filling step fills the storage section 21A of the dispensing container 2 with the multiple color cosmetics 11, 12 by arranging the light color cosmetics (milky white cosmetics 11) and the dark color cosmetics (brown cosmetics 12) of the multiple color cosmetics 11, 12 in order along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removal step.

[0049] According to this embodiment, the following actions and effects can be achieved. (1) In the removal step, the spatula 8 is slid in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the plurality of insertion holes 61A arranged in a predetermined direction, thereby removing the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors at once through the plurality of insertion holes 61A, so that the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors scraped off through one insertion hole 61A do not come into contact with the adjacent insertion hole 61A by the spatula 8, and are not transferred to the cosmetics 11, 12 filled through the adjacent insertion hole 61A. Therefore, the method for manufacturing a solid cosmetic can manufacture an oily solid cosmetic 1 in which the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors are accommodated in the feeding container 2 without impairing the aesthetic appearance of the surface.

[0050] (2) In the filling step, the cosmetics 11, 12 of the multiple colors are filled into the storage section 21A of the dispensing container 2 in such a way that the longest major axis side boundary line 13A among the boundary lines appearing on the surface of the cosmetics 11, 12 of the multiple colors is positioned along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removal step. This prevents the color of one cosmetic (e.g., brown cosmetic 12) among the cosmetics 11, 12 of the multiple colors filled through one insertion hole 61A from being transferred to an adjacent cosmetic of a different color (e.g., milky white cosmetic 11).

[0051] (3) In the filling step, the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors are filled into the storage section 21A of the propelling container 2 by arranging the light-colored cosmetic (milky white cosmetic 11) and the dark-colored cosmetic (brown cosmetic 12) of the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors in order along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removing step, so that the color of the light-colored cosmetic 11 of the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors filled through one insertion hole 61A is transferred to the adjacent dark-colored cosmetic 12. This makes color transfer less noticeable compared to when the filling step is configured to fill the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors into the storage section 21A of the propelling container 2 by arranging the dark-colored cosmetic 12 and the light-colored cosmetic 11 of the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors in order along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removing step.

[0052] (4) In the removal step, the spatula 8 is inserted from the base end side in the sliding direction of the spatula 8, i.e., the side without the wall portion 62, and slid along the flat portion 61 of the production base 3, thereby removing the multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 along the opening end of the dispensing container 2 through the multiple insertion holes 61A, so that the multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 can be easily removed. (5) The manufacturing base 3 is provided on the flat surface 61 along the arrangement direction of the multiple insertion holes 61A, and is equipped with a wall portion 62 provided on the tip side in the sliding direction of the spatula 8. Therefore, the filling step involves tilting the flat surface 61 so as to lower the wall portion 62 vertically downward, thereby filling the storage portion 21A of the dispensing container 2 with multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12, thereby preventing leakage of the cosmetics 11, 12 from the side without the wall portion 62.

[0053] (6) Since the wall portion 62 is set to a height of 10 mm to 40 mm, when the flat portion 61 is tilted so as to lower the wall portion 62 vertically downward in the filling step and the storage portion 21A of the dispensing container 2 is filled with the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors, the risk of the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors leaking beyond the wall portion 62 can be reduced. (7) The wall portion 62 is set to a height of 10 mm to 40 mm, so that when filling the storage portion 21A of the dispensing container 2 with multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12 during the filling step, it is possible to prevent interference with other devices such as a filling device and getting in the way.

[0054] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications and improvements within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention are included in the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, two colors of cosmetics, milky white cosmetic 11 and brown cosmetic 12, were used as the multiple-color cosmetics, but cosmetics of other colors may also be used, or multiple cosmetics of three or more colors may also be used.

[0055] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the manufacturing base 3 is provided on the flat surface 61 along the arrangement direction of the multiple insertion holes 61A (longitudinal direction of the flat surface 61), and is provided with a wall portion 62 that is not provided on the base end side (one end side) in the sliding direction of the spatula 8 (direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the flat surface 61) but on the tip end side (other end side); however, the manufacturing base 3 does not have to be provided with a wall portion 62. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the filling step involves tilting the flat portion 61 so as to lower the wall portion 62 vertically downward and filling the storage portion 21A of the dispensing container 2 with multiple colors of cosmetics 11, 12, but the flat portion 61 does not have to be tilted. In the above embodiment, the wall portion 62 is set to a height of 10 mm to 40 mm, but may be set to a height other than this.

[0056] In addition, in the above embodiment, the filling step fills the storage section 21A of the advancing container 2 with the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12 by arranging the longest boundary line, i.e., the long axis side boundary line 13A, among the boundary lines (long axis side boundary line 13A and short axis side boundary line 13B) appearing on the surface of the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12 along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removal step, and the storage section 21A of the advancing container 2 is filled with the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12 by arranging the light-colored cosmetics (milky white cosmetic 11) and the dark-colored cosmetics (brown cosmetic 12) of the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12 in order along the direction in which the spatula 8 is slid in the removal step. In contrast, the filling step may fill the container with cosmetics of multiple colors into the storage portion of the container regardless of the boundary lines that appear on the surfaces of the cosmetics of multiple colors or the color saturations of the cosmetics of multiple colors.

[0057] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the boundary lines appearing on the surface of the multi-colored cosmetic material, the color depth of the multi-colored cosmetic material, and the sliding direction of the plate-shaped body. For example, as shown in Figures 11(A) and (B), the filling step may be performed by filling the storage section 21A of the dispensing container 2 with the cosmetics 11 and 12 of multiple colors, taking into consideration only the boundary lines that appear on the surfaces of the cosmetics 11 and 12 of multiple colors (see arrows in the figures). Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 11(C), the filling step may fill the storage section 21A of the propelling container 2 with the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors, taking into consideration only the darkness of the cosmetics 11, 12 of multiple colors (see arrows in the figure). Furthermore, for example, in the filling step, similar to the present embodiment, the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12 may be filled into the storage section 21A of the dispensing container 2, taking into consideration both the boundary lines appearing on the surfaces of the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12 and the saturation of the multi-colored cosmetics 11, 12, as shown in Figures 11(D) and (E) (see arrows in the figures).
