Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wearing tool. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, containers that have a container body with a bottomed, cylindrical container body and a spout, and a cap (an attachment to the container body) that covers the opening of the spout, have become widely used as containers for cosmetics such as liquid lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, and eyeliner. An insert is attached to the cap and is inserted into the container body through the opening of the spout. The insert includes a stem and an application part located at the tip of the stem. When a user removes the cap of such a container from the container body, the insert is also extracted from the container body. Because the application part of the insert extracted from the container body has cosmetics attached to it, the user can apply the cosmetics to the desired area by holding the cap and placing the application part against the desired area.

[0003] Regarding such a container, Patent Document 1 discloses a cosmetic container in which the length from the cap part to the tip of the applicator increases when the cap including the cap part and the applicator is removed from the container body. Patent Document 1 states that such a cosmetic container is easy to use. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-88516 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] A user basically operates the cap while their hand is floating in the air to apply the cosmetic to the desired area. This operation is therefore prone to instability. In this regard, the larger the contact area between the user's hand and the cap, the more stable and flexible the operation, and the less fatigue they are expected to feel. Meanwhile, there is a need for smaller cosmetic containers. However, for example, miniaturizing the cap portion of the cosmetic container described in Patent Document 1 reduces the contact area between the user's hand and the cap portion, thereby reducing operability.

[0006] The present invention relates to a wearing tool with improved operability for the user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention relates to a mounting device comprising: a tubular portion that engages with a spout portion of a container body that forms a storage space for cosmetics; an inserter having a base portion supported inside the tubular portion and a shaft portion extending from the base and inserted into the storage space through an opening in the spout portion of the container body; and a movable portion whose protruding length from one end of the tubular portion is variable by reciprocating movement of the tubular portion in the axial direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] As described above, the wearing tool of the present invention can improve the operability for the user. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functional configurations are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0011] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a container for cosmetics such as liquid lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, eyeliner, etc. First, the external appearance of the container according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1 .

[0012] <Container appearance configuration> Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the external configuration of a container 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the container 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a container body 20 and a mounting fixture 30. Please refer to Fig. 8 for the cross-sectional configuration of the container 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0013] The container body 20 forms a storage space for cosmetics. Examples of cosmetics include liquid, gel, or paste cosmetics such as liquid lipstick, lip gloss, concealer, beauty serum, massage cream, massage oil, essential oil, mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow. Liquid, gel, and paste forms all have fluidity in common, but liquids do not have a fixed shape, while gels and pastes are semi-solid and can temporarily have a fixed shape.

[0014] The mounting fixture 30 is detachably mounted to the container body 20. As shown in FIG. 1 , the mounting fixture 30 includes a cap 31 and an insert 34. The cap 31 has a cap body 32 that engages with the container body 20, and a movable part 36 that is movable relative to the cap body 32. In this specification, the side on which the cap 31 is located as viewed from the container body 20 is referred to as the upper side, and the opposite side is referred to as the lower side, and the direction in which the container body 20 and the cap 31 are aligned (the axial direction of a main body cylindrical part 322 described below) is sometimes referred to as the up-down direction.

[0015] The insert 34 is a part that is inserted into the cosmetic storage space formed by the container body 20. As shown in FIG. 1, the insert 34 has a shaft 342 formed along the vertical direction and an application part 344 located at the tip of the shaft 342. The cosmetic adheres to the application part 344. Therefore, after removing the wearing tool 30 from the container body 20, the user can apply the cosmetic to the desired area by placing the application part 344 against the desired area.

[0016] (Comparative Example) Before proceeding to a detailed description of the container 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the structure of a container according to a comparative example will be described with reference to FIG.

[0017] Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross-sectional structure of a container according to a comparative example. As shown in Fig. 2, the container according to the comparative example has a container body 80, a cap 92, a stem portion 94, and an application portion 96. The container body 80 includes a container barrel portion 82, a spout portion 84, a shoulder portion 86, and an inner plug 88.

[0018] The spout 84 is provided on the opening side of the container body 82 and detachably engages with the cap 92. The shoulder 86 is the part that connects the container body 82 and the spout 84. The inner plug 88 is an annular member that is fixed by sandwiching the upper end of the spout 84 and the shoulder 86. The inner plug 88 is made of rubber and squeezes off any cosmetic material adhering to the stem 94, applicator part 96, etc. when the cap 92 is removed from the container body 80.

[0019] Even with this type of container, a user can apply the cosmetic to a desired area by removing the cap 92 from the container body 80 and, while holding the cap 92, placing the applicator part 96 on the desired area. However, with this container, the length of the cap 92 that the user can reach is fixed. Therefore, if the cap 92 is made smaller, the area of ​​contact between the user's hand and the cap 92 also becomes smaller, reducing operability.

[0020] The present inventors have taken the above circumstances into consideration and have come up with an embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, it is possible to achieve a compact design and improved operability. The configuration of the container 10 according to this embodiment, including the container body 20, cap body 32, insert 34, and movable portion 36, will be described in detail below.

[0021] <Configuration of container body 20> 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a cross-sectional configuration of a container body 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the container body 20 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a bottom 210, a container body 220, a spout 230, a shoulder 240, and an ironing member 250.

[0022] The bottom 210 closes the lower opening of a pair of openings formed by the container body 220. The container body 220 is a cylindrical member that forms a compartment for storing the cosmetic material. The cylindrical shape may be a cylindrical shape, a prismatic shape, a truncated cone, or a truncated pyramid.

[0023] The spout 230 is located above the container body 220 and has a cylindrical hollow shape. The opening on the lower side of the spout 230 connects to the opening of the container body 220 (i.e., connects to the space for storing the cosmetic), and the opening on the other side connects to the external space of the container body 20. As shown in FIG. 3 , the spout 230 has a threaded portion 232 on its outer periphery. The attachment 30 is threadedly attached to the container body 20 by being threaded onto the threaded portion 232. The shoulder 240 is the portion that connects the container body 220 and the spout 230.

[0024] The squeezing member 250 is an example of an annular member. A ring shape is a shape that surrounds a certain area. The squeezing member 250 may be formed from a resin material. As shown in FIG. 3 , the squeezing member 250 has a protruding portion 252, a tubular inner plug portion 254, and a tapered portion 256. The protruding portion 252 protrudes outward from the upper end of the tubular inner plug portion 254. The squeezing member 250 is supported by the spout portion 230 when the protruding portion 252 is placed on the upper end of the spout portion 230. The tubular inner plug portion 254 has a cylindrical shape. A rib may be formed on the outer periphery of the tubular inner plug portion 254, and a groove may be formed on the inner periphery of the spout portion 230. The rib and groove may fit together to prevent the squeezing member 250 from coming off the spout portion 230.

[0025] The tapered portion 256 has a tapered shape in which the inner diameter decreases toward the bottom. When the attachment 30 is pulled out of the container body 20, the tapered portion 256 rubs off any cosmetic adhering to the shaft portion 342 and the application portion 344 of the insert 34.

[0026] <Configuration of cap body 32> Fig. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the external configuration of the cap body 32. Fig. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross-sectional configuration obtained by cutting the cap body 32 along line II shown in Fig. 4. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the cap body 32 has a main body tubular portion 322 and a pair of wall regions 326.

[0027] The tubular main body portion 322 is an example of a tubular portion and has a tubular shape. The axial direction of the tubular main body portion 322 is the same as the up-down direction. A threaded portion 323 is formed on the inner periphery of the tubular main body portion 322. The cap main body 32 is attached to the container main body 20 by threading the threaded portion 323 into a threaded portion 232 formed on the spout portion 230 of the container main body 20.

[0028] Furthermore, the tubular main body portion 322 has a main body top surface 322C in which an upper opening 322U (second opening) is formed. The tubular main body portion 322 also has a lower opening 322L (first opening) that faces the upper opening 322U.

[0029] The pair of wall regions 326 are an example of a connecting portion that connects the movable portion 36 to the main body tubular portion 322 so as to be rotatable relative to the main body tubular portion 322. The pair of wall regions 326 face each other and extend upward from the main body top surface 322C. Each of the pair of wall regions 326 has a hole 327 that runs along the up-down direction on the surface facing the other wall region 326. A protrusion 363 (described later) of the movable portion 36 fits into the hole 327, thereby forming a rotation axis that runs along a direction perpendicular to the up-down direction, and the movable portion 36 becomes rotatable around the rotation axis.

[0030] <Configuration of insert 34> 6 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross-sectional configuration of the insert 34. As shown in FIG.

[0031] The base 346 is a portion that is supported inside the tubular main body portion 322. The base 346 has a hollow first region 347a. The stem 342 extends from the base 346 and is inserted into the cosmetic storage space through the opening of the spout 230 of the container body 20 and the squeezing member 250. The stem 342 has a hollow second region 347b. The hollow first region 347a of the base 346 and the hollow second region 347b of the stem 342 are connected to integrally form the hollow region 347.

[0032] Application portion 344 is located on the tip side of shaft portion 342. The tip of application portion 344 may be rounded, or may be formed at an obtuse or acute angle. Application portion 344 may also be inclined relative to shaft portion 342. Application portion 344 and shaft portion 342 may also be integrally molded, in which case a constriction may be formed between application portion 344 and shaft portion 342. Application portion 344 may also be flocked, or a liquid reservoir may be formed in application portion 344.

[0033] <Configuration of the Movable Part 36> 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the external configuration of the movable portion 36. As shown in FIG. 7, the movable portion 36 has an extension portion 362, a movable portion tubular portion 365, and a movable portion top surface 366. The extension portion 362 is a portion formed along a linear direction. A protrusion 363 is formed on each of two opposing surfaces of the extension portion 362.

[0034] The movable part cylindrical part 365 has a cylindrical shape and is located outside the extension part 362. The movable part cylindrical part 365 is an example of a fitting part that surrounds the pair of wall regions 326 and fits into the cap main body 32. The outer diameter of the movable part cylindrical part 365 is equal to the outer diameter of the main body cylindrical part 322. The movable part top surface 366 is a surface that connects the upper end of the extension part 362 and the upper end of the movable part cylindrical part 365.

[0035] <Use of the container 10> Above, we have explained the components of the container 10. Next, we will explain how to use the container 10 with reference to Figs.

[0036] Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross-sectional configuration of the container 10 when the wearing device 30 is attached to the container body 20. The state shown in Fig. 8 is also the state in which the movable part 36 is inserted deepest into the main body tubular part 322. In the state shown in Fig. 8, the threaded part 323 of the wearing device 30 and the threaded part 232 of the container body 20 are threadedly engaged. In addition, the insert 34 is inserted into the cosmetic storage space formed by the container body 20.

[0037] 8, a portion of the extension 362 of the movable part 36 is located within the hollow first region 347a of the base part 346. Furthermore, a portion of the extension 362 of the movable part 36 is located within the hollow second region 347b of the shaft part 342. In addition, the extension 362 protrudes from the lower opening 322L of the main body tubular part 322.

[0038] 8, the user can remove the wearing device 30 from the container body 20 by releasing the threaded portion 323 of the wearing device 30 from the threaded portion 232 of the container body 20. Here, the protruding length of the movable part 36 from the upper end of the main body tubular part 322 can be changed by the reciprocating movement of the movable part 36 in the up and down direction. The reciprocating movement of the movable part 36 in the up and down direction is achieved by the user moving the movable part 36.

[0039] 9 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the movable part 36 protrudes a predetermined length from the cap main body 32. When a user pulls up the movable part 36 in the state shown in FIG. 8, the movable part 36 rises relative to the main body tubular part 322 with the convex part 363 of the extension part 362 fitted into the hole 327 of the wall region 326. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the rise of the movable part 36 stops at a position where the convex part 363 of the extension part 362 abuts against the upper end of the hole 327 of the wall region 326.

[0040] 9, the protrusion 363 and the hole 327 form a rotation axis, and the movable part 36 can rotate around the rotation axis relative to the main body cylindrical part 322. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the movable part 36 can rotate so as to be inclined relative to the main body cylindrical part 322.

[0041] <Action and effect> According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, various operational effects can be obtained. For example, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the protruding length of the movable part 36 from the upper end of the tubular main body part 322 can be varied by the reciprocating movement of the movable part 36 in the up-down direction. Therefore, the length of the cap 31 in the up-down direction can be varied between length L1 (i.e., the minimum length of the cap 31) in the state shown in FIG. 8 where the movable part 36 is inserted deepest into the tubular main body part 322, and length L2 (i.e., the maximum length of the cap 31) in the state shown in FIG. 9 where the movable part 36 protrudes the most from the tubular main body part 322.

[0042] With this configuration, when using the container 10, the user can pull the movable portion 36 out from the main body tubular portion 322, thereby increasing the contact area between the user's hand and the cap 31. For example, the cap 31 can contact not only the fingertips but also the palm of the hand. As a result, the sense of stability when operating the wearing device 30 is improved. Furthermore, the longer cap 31 allows the user to freely change the position in which the cap 31 is held within a wider range. Furthermore, the longer cap 31 allows the user to easily change the orientation of the wearing device 30 within a wider range of angles relative to the target area. For example, the user can use the wearing device 30 in either a lying or standing position relative to the target area. As such, the container 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention can achieve excellent operability with a simple structure and without compromising design, even with the minimum length L1 of the cap 31. That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to achieve a compact container 10 while minimizing or maintaining and improving operability. Therefore, the container 10 also has excellent portability.

[0043] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the movable part 36 is inserted deepest into the tubular main body part 322, a portion of the extension part 362 of the movable part 36 is located within the hollow first region 347a of the base part 346. Furthermore, a portion of the extension part 362 of the movable part 36 is located within the hollow second region 347b of the shaft part 342. In addition, the extension part 362 protrudes from the lower opening 322L of the tubular main body part 322. Therefore, a sufficient insertion length of the movable part 36 is ensured. As a result, it is possible to increase the maximum length L3 (see FIG. 9) over which the movable part 36 can reciprocate and the maximum length L2 of the cap 31.

[0044] For example, if the minimum length L1 of cap 31 is 20.7 mm, the maximum length L3 over which movable part 36 can reciprocate can be set to 18.5 mm, and the maximum length L2 of cap 31 can be set to 39.2 mm. That is, in the comparative example, the operability could only be achieved by setting cap 92 to a length of 39.2 mm. In one embodiment of the present invention, the minimum length L1 of cap 31 can be set to 20.7 mm. Furthermore, if the thread pitch of threaded portion 323 of tubular main body 322 is 2 mm, the length of threaded portion 323 can be reduced by 2 mm by changing the number of turns from two to one. Furthermore, if the bottom distance from the bottom end of threaded portion 323 to the bottom end of tubular main body 322 is reduced by 2 mm, the minimum length L1 of cap 31 can be set to 16.7 mm, and the maximum length L2 of cap 31 can be set to 35.2 mm, which is more than double the minimum length L1. If the number of turns of the screw portion 323 of the main body cylindrical portion 322 is changed to one turn, the number of turns of the screw portion 232 of the spout portion 230 also becomes one turn, so that the height of the spout portion 230 can also be reduced.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, a hollow region 347 is formed inside the shaft 342 to allow insertion of the extension portion 362 up to a position where it protrudes from the lower opening 322L of the tubular main body portion 322. For this reason, if the shaft 342 is made thicker, the volume of the storage space within the container body 20 may be reduced. However, in one embodiment of the present invention, a squeezing member 250 is used instead of the inner plug 88 used in the comparative example shown in Figure 2. Because the squeezing member 250 can be designed to be smaller than the inner plug 88, it does not occupy the volume of the storage space as much as the inner plug 88, and this can offset the reduction in volume of the storage space caused by the thicker shaft 342.

[0046] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cap body 32 is provided with a pair of wall regions 326 that connect the movable part 36 to the tubular main body portion 322 so that the movable part 36 is rotatable relative to the tubular main body portion 322. Each of the pair of wall regions 326 has a hole 327 formed in the surface facing the other wall region 326, extending along the vertical direction. When the protrusion 363 of the movable part 36 fits into the hole 327, a rotation axis extending along a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is formed, and the movable part 36 becomes rotatable around the rotation axis. Therefore, as described with reference to FIG. 10 , the user can use the container 10 by changing the attitude of the movable part 36 relative to the cap body 32, i.e., the shape of the cap 31.

[0047] <Modification> An embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Below, several modified examples of the above-described embodiment will be described. Note that each modified example described below may be applied alone to the above-described embodiment, or may be applied in combination with the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, each modified example may be applied in place of the configuration of the above-described embodiment, or may be applied in addition to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.

[0048] (First Modification) Fig. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross-sectional configuration of a container 10-1 according to a first modified example. As shown in Fig. 11, the container 10-1 according to the first modified example has a container body 20-1, a cap body 32, an insert 34-1, and a movable part 36-1. The following mainly describes the configuration that differs from the above-described embodiment.

[0049] The container body 20-1 has an inner plug portion 260 inside the spout portion 230. The inner plug portion 260 is an annular member that is fixed by sandwiching the upper end of the spout portion 230 and the shoulder portion 240. The inner plug portion 260 is made of rubber, and squeezes off any cosmetic material adhering to the shaft portion 342-1, the application portion 344, etc.

[0050] The insert 34-1 has a shaft 342-1, an application portion 344, a pusher portion 345, and a base 346-1. The shaft 342-1 does not have the hollow region formed in the shaft 342 of the above-described embodiment. The pusher portion 345 is provided on the outer periphery of the shaft 342-1. The pusher portion 345 has the function of pushing out the cosmetic material accumulated on the spatula of the inner plug portion 260 toward the storage space inside the container body 20-1. The base 346-1 has a hollow region.

[0051] The movable portion 36-1 has an extension portion 362-1. As shown in Fig. 11, when the movable portion 36-1 is inserted to the deepest extent into the main body tubular portion 322, at least a portion of the extension portion 362-1 is located within the hollow region of the base portion 346-1.

[0052] Even in this first modified example, when using container 10-1, the user can increase the contact area between the user's hand and cap 31-1 by pulling out movable part 36-1 from main body tubular part 322. In other words, even in the first modified example, it is possible to achieve miniaturization and improved operability.

[0053] (Second Modification) Fig. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing the cross-sectional configuration of a container 10-2 according to a second modified example. As shown in Fig. 12, the container 10-2 according to the second modified example has a container body 20-1, a cap body 32, an insert 34-2, and a movable part 36-2. The following mainly describes the configuration that differs from the above-described embodiment and modified examples.

[0054] The insert 34-2 has a shaft 342-2, an application portion 344, and a base 346-2. The shaft 342-2 and the base 346-2 have a hollow region that connects them. The shaft 342-2 has a first portion 351, a second portion 352, and an inclined portion 353. The second portion 352 is located between the first portion 351 and the base 346-2 and is spaced apart from the first portion 351 in the up-down direction. The outer diameter of the second portion 352 is larger than the outer diameter of the first portion 351. The inclined portion 353 connects the first portion 351 and the second portion 352 and has a greater inclination in the up-down direction than the first portion 351 and the second portion 352.

[0055] 12, when the movable part 36-2 is inserted to the deepest extent into the main body tubular part 322, at least a part of the extension part 362-2 is located within the hollow region of the base part 346-2 and the hollow region of the shaft part 342-2.

[0056] In the second modified example, the insertion length of the movable part 36-2 into the tubular main body part 322 is longer than in the first modified example, and therefore the protruding length of the movable part 36-2 from the tubular main body part 322 when it protrudes from the tubular main body part 322 is also longer. Therefore, the contact area between the user's hand and the cap 31-2 can be made larger than in the first modified example. Furthermore, in the second modified example, the shape of the inclined part 353 enables the inclined part 353 to push out the cosmetic material accumulated on the spatula of the inner plug part 260, so that the design without the pushing part 345 described in the first modified example can be realized.

[0057] (Third Modification) Fig. 13 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a mounting fixture 30-3 according to a third modified example. As shown in Fig. 13, the mounting fixture 30-3 according to the third modified example has a side split structure and includes a cap body 42, an insert 44, and a movable part 46. The following mainly describes the configuration that differs from the above-described embodiment and modified examples.

[0058] The cap body 42 is an example of a cylindrical portion having a cylindrical shape. The cap body 42 supports the insert 44 on its inner periphery. The insert 44 has a base 446. The base 446 has a hollow region, and an elastic member 448 is disposed within the hollow region. The elastic member 448 is located between the movable portion 46 and the insert 44, and urges the movable portion 46 upward when the movable portion 46 is inserted into the cap body 42. In the example shown in FIG. 13 , the elastic member 448 is a coil spring.

[0059] The movable part 46 includes an extending part 462 having a cylindrical shape. A part of the extending part 462 is located within the hollow region of the base part 446. A threaded portion is formed on the inner periphery of a movable part 465 of the movable part 46. The cap body 42 also has a threaded portion at the upper end (threaded portion 423 shown in FIG. 14 ), and the threaded portion on the inner periphery of the movable part 465 and the threaded portion 423 threadably engage with each other, thereby maintaining the movable part 46 inserted into the cap body 42.

[0060] 13, when the user rotates the movable part 46 relative to the cap body 42 while the movable part 46 is inserted into the cap body 42, the cap body 42 and the movable part 46 are unscrewed from each other. Then, the biasing force of the elastic member 448 pushes the movable part 46 upward, and the length of protrusion of the movable part 46 from the cap body 42 increases.

[0061] 14 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the movable portion 46 is pushed up by the elastic member 448. As shown in FIG. 14, when the movable portion 46 is pushed up by the elastic member 448, the length of the cap 41 in the vertical direction increases. Therefore, similar to the above-described embodiment and modified example, it is possible to achieve a reduction in size of the wearing device 30-3 and improvement in operability. Note that by connecting the extension portion 462 and the cap main body 42 using a hinge notched pin and a rotation mechanism, it is also possible to make the movable portion 46 rotatable within a hemispherical range relative to the cap main body 42.

[0062] (Fourth Modification) Fig. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing the appearance of a mounting fixture 30-4 according to a fourth modified example. Fig. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the mounting fixture 30-4 according to the fourth modified example. As shown in Figs. 15 and 16, the mounting fixture 30-4 according to the fourth modified example has a split top surface structure and includes a cap main body 52, an insert 54, and a movable part 56. The following mainly describes the configuration that differs from the above-described embodiment and modified examples.

[0063] The cap body 52 is an example of a cylindrical portion having a cylindrical shape. The cap body 52 supports the insert 54 on its inner periphery.

[0064] FIG. 17 is a plan view of cap body 52. ​​FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional perspective view of cap body 52. ​​As shown in FIG. 17, tubular top surface 522C of cap body 52 includes step surface 524 formed at a position having a step with the upper end of cap body 52. ​​Step surface 524 has top surface opening 522U formed therein, which has a non-circular shape in plan view. Top surface opening 522U includes long diameter opening region 523 whose diameter is larger than the other regions. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 18, two protrusions 527 are formed on the back surface of step surface 524.

[0065] The insert 54 has an insert 546. The insert 546 has a hollow region, and an elastic member 548 is disposed in the hollow region. The elastic member 548 is positioned between the movable part 56 and the insert 54, and urges the movable part 56 upward when the movable part 56 is inserted into the cap body 52.

[0066] The movable portion 56 has an extension portion 562, a movable portion top surface 565, and a handle portion 566. The extension portion 562 has a cylindrical shape and is located within the hollow region of the insert 546. The movable portion top surface 565 is located above the extension portion 562 and is flush with the tube portion top surface 522C. The handle portion 566 is located above the movable portion top surface 565. The handle portion 566 is a portion that is gripped by a user. In the example shown in FIG. 19, the handle portion 566 is a sphere. However, the handle portion 566 may be a rectangular parallelepiped, cube, pyramid, cone, or octahedron, or may have a design shape such as a crown, a jewel, an animal's face, or a hand. The configuration of the movable portion 566 will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20.

[0067] FIG. 19 is a perspective view of the movable part 56. FIG. 20 is a partially enlarged view of the movable part 56. As shown in FIG. 19, two claws 568 extend from the back surface of the movable part top surface 565. As shown in FIG. 20, the claws 568 have a region 568a that extends in the vertical direction and a region 568b that protrudes outward from the lower end of region 568a. Furthermore, a protrusion 569 is formed on the upper surface of region 568b. When the protrusion 569 engages with a protrusion 527 formed on the back surface of the stepped surface 524, the rotation of the movable part 56 with respect to the cap body 52 is locked. In other words, the protrusions 569 and 527 cooperate to function as a locking mechanism.

[0068] 15 and 16, when the movable part 56 is inserted into the cap body 52, a user pinches the handle 566 and rotates the movable part 56 relative to the cap body 52 in the direction D2 shown in FIG. 17, causing the protrusion 569 of the claw 568 to climb over the protrusion 527 formed on the back surface of the stepped surface 524. Then, the claw 568 moves to the long diameter opening region 523 shown in FIG. 17. When the claw 568 moves to the long diameter opening region 523, the biasing force of the elastic member 548 pushes the movable part 56 upward, increasing the protruding length of the movable part 56 from the cap body 52.

[0069] FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which the movable part 56 is pushed up by the elastic member 548. As shown in FIG. 21, when the movable part 56 is pushed up by the elastic member 548, the length of the cap 51 in the vertical direction is increased. Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment and modified example, it is possible to achieve a smaller size and improved operability of the wearing device 30-4. Note that the user can return the state of the wearing device 30-4 to the state shown in FIGS. 15 and 16 by pressing the movable part 56 down against the cap body 52 and rotating the movable part 56 in the D1 direction shown in FIG. 17 after the claw part 568 enters the major diameter opening region 523.

[0070] (Fifth Modification) Fig. 22 is an explanatory diagram showing a container 10-5 according to a fifth modified example. As shown in Fig. 22, the container 10-5 includes a container body 20, a cap body 32-5, and a movable part 36-5. The following mainly describes the configuration that differs from the above-described embodiment and modified examples.

[0071] The movable part tubular portion 365-5 of the movable part 36-5 is translucent. Therefore, even when the movable part 36-5 is inserted deepest into the cap body 32-5, as shown on the left in FIG. 22, the wall region 326-5 is visible. A pattern P1 is formed on the outer periphery of the wall region 326-5. In the example shown in FIG. 22, the pattern P1 represents the stems and leaves of a plant.

[0072] As shown on the right side of Fig. 22, pattern P2 is also formed on extension portion 362-5 of movable portion 36-5. In the example shown in Fig. 22, pattern P2 represents the stems, leaves, and flowers of a plant. When a user pulls out movable portion 36-5 in the state shown on the left side of Fig. 22, pattern P2 formed on extension portion 362-5 appears as shown on the right side of Fig. 22. Pattern P2 and pattern P1 form a single design together.

[0073] Thus, according to the fifth modified example, when the user pulls out the movable portion 36-5, the previously hidden pattern P2 appears, which can give the user a sense of surprise and drama, etc. Note that, although an example in which a pattern is formed on the wall region 326-5 and the extension portion 362-5 has been described in Fig. 22, letters may be formed on the wall region 326-5 and the extension portion 362-5 instead of or in addition to a pattern.

[0074] <Supplementary information> Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples. It is clear that a person skilled in the art of the present invention can conceive of various modifications or alterations within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims, and it is understood that these also naturally fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0075] For example, in the third modified example, an example was described in which elastic member 448 is used to protrude movable portion 46, but movable portion 46 may be configured to protrude using another mechanism. Examples of other mechanisms include a helical or screw mechanism, a knock-slide mechanism, or various extension mechanisms that cause movable portion 46 to protrude as movable portion 46 rotates. These mechanisms can also be applied to the fourth modified example. [Explanation of symbols]
