Abstract: An inner plug mounted to the neck of the flexible container has a cylindrical hollow portion that contains a valve element, a valve seat disposed below the valve element, a permanent magnet disposed below the valve seat that attracts the valve element to the valve seat, and a discharge outlet in the top of the inner plug to allow discharge of fluid contents of the container via a flow path extending from the discharge outlet to the container body via a void formed between the valve element and the valve seat. The valve element is movable between a closed valve state, in which the valve element contacts the valve seat, and the bottom of the discharge outlet. An open valve state is achieved once pressure inside the container overcomes the magnetic attraction of the valve element to the valve seat and forces the valve element away from the valve seat.

Abstract: A cosmetic container 1a has a container body having an opening above and being configured to store a cosmetic; an inner lid being configured to be attached to the container body; and a sealing lid being configured to hermetically seal the container body in a state having the inner lid attached. The inner lid includes a flat hollow cylindrical frame and a cosmetic penetrable fiber sheet having elasticity and attached to the frame under tension. The frame is fitted to the container body with a lower end of the frame being apart from a bottom surface of the container body. The fiber sheet has a peripheral rim adhered from either an upper end surface or a lower end surface of the frame and along an inner circumferential face of the frame.
