COSMETIC CASING CAPABLE OF PROTRUDING COSMETIC MATERIAL

摘要

A casing capable of opening a lid and protruding a cosmetic material contained in the casing by one operation, having a simple and improved overall appearance and capable of being reduced in size when the cosmetic material is retracted, the casing having: a tubular main body having an elongated aperture extending in the axial direction; a closed inner tube fitted in the tubular main body so that it can slide therein in the axial direction, the inner tube having an engaging projection projecting to the outside of the tubular main body through the elongated aperture; a screw tube rotatably fitted around the tubular main body, the screw tube having an inner screw groove in which the engaging projection of the inner tube is fitted so that the inner tube can be lifted as the screw tube rotates in one direction; a tubular member fitted around the screw tube so that the screw tube can rotate relative to the tubular member, the tubular member being fixed to the tubular main body; and a lid pivotally mounted for closing an opening of the tubular member while being urged by a spring in the direction of closing movement. When the inner tube is moved toward the opening of the tubular member by the rotation of the screw tube, the lid recedes toward the lower end of the casing so as to turn and open by contacting at its inner surface with an upper end portion of the casing.
