  • Patent number: 8651759
    Abstract: A cylindrical cosmetic container with an inner cap (7) inside a cap (5) fit outside an upper end of a container body (X) uses a first motion resistance at a halfway covering posture to an immediately preceding covering posture and a second motion resistance from the immediately preceding covering posture to a fully cover posture while the container body (X) is covered with the cap (5), in which the inner cap (7) includes a protrusion (7f) to deform towards an outer diameter side while applying the first motion resistance by being pressed into sliding contact with an extending upper end (4c) of the container body (X) and a projection (7d) projecting from an outer circumferential surface for applying the second motion resistance greater than the first motion resistance when a convex rib (4b) moves over the projection (7d).

  • Patent number: 7866905
    Abstract: A thrust-out type container for a rod-like article such as a lipstick comprises, in the order from the outside to the inside as viewed in a diametric direction of the container, an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder and a carrier. The carrier serves to support the rod-like article attached thereto. A control cylinder integrated with the inner cylinder lies outside the outer cylinder. An intermediate cylinder is interposed between the outer cylinder and the control cylinder. The intermediate cylinder comprises an upper portion extending upward beyond an upper end of the control cylinder and a lower portion extending into the control cylinder. A coupling member serving to couple the inner cylinder and the intermediate cylinder to each other is snap-engaged with the lower portion of the intermediate cylinder.

  • Patent number: 7249905
    Abstract: A thrust-out type container for a rod-like article generally comprises a driving cylinder extending in a vertical direction, a cylindrical holder extending in the vertical direction inside the driving cylinder, and a guide cylinder adapted to restrict a movement of the holder so that the holder can not be non-rotatable with respect to the driving cylinder but movable in the vertical direction. The driving cylinder includes an outer cylinder formed on its inner peripheral surface with a first groove and an inner cylinder lying inside the outer cylinder and slidably engaged with the first groove so as to be movable in the vertical direction and formed on its inner peripheral surface with a second groove. An upper portion of the holder defined as a cup is configured so that the rod-like article can be attached thereto and a lower portion of the holder defined as a stem extending downward from the cup is adapted to be slidably engaged with the second groove of the inner cylinder.
