Abstract

A cosmetic material feeding-out container includes an outer tube, an inner tube disposed inside the outer tube, a cosmetic material container disposed in the inner tube with relatively moveable along a tube axial direction, an intermediate tube formed with a helical groove repeatedly on an inner circumferential face along a tube axial direction and disposed between the outer tube and the inner tube, an engagement member protruded from a portion of the cosmetic material container and engageable with the helical groove, and an operation unit including a knocking operation piece protruded from the outer tube and a rotating cam mechanism configured to rotate the intermediate tube in response to a knocking operation of the knocking operation piece, and the intermediate tube is configured to be rotated by the rotating cam mechanism to move the cosmetic material container along the tube axial direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cosmetic material feeding-out container comprising:
an outer tube of cylindrical shape;
an inner tube disposed inside the outer tube in a state of protruding a portion of the inner tube from one end of the outer tube, being integrated with the outer tube so as not movable relative to the outer tube;
a cosmetic material container disposed inside the inner tube, movable relative to the inner tube along a tube axial direction, accommodating a base end portion of cosmetic material of stick shape, and accommodating and holding the cosmetic material such that a tip end portion of the cosmetic material directing into a direction opposite with respect to another end of the outer tube;
an intermediate tube made of a member of cylindrical shape, disposed between the outer tube and the inner tube, formed with a helical groove extended in a circumferential direction and repeating along a tube axial direction on an inner circumferential face of the member of cylindrical shape;
an engagement member protruded from a portion of the cosmetic material container and engageable with the helical groove; and
an operation unit including a knocking operation piece protruded from the another end of the outer tube, and a rotation cam mechanism configured to rotate the intermediate tube in response to a knocking operation of the knocking operation piece,
wherein the intermediate tube is configured to be rotated by the rotating cam mechanism in response to the knocking operation of the knocking operation piece to move the cosmetic material container into a direction opposite with respect to the another end of the outer tube.

2. The cosmetic material feeding-out container according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating cam mechanism is configured, in response to the knocking operation of the knocking operation piece, to rotate the intermediate tube and to move the intermediate tube relative to the inner tube along the tube axial direction.

3. The cosmetic material feeding-out container according to claim 2 , wherein the inner tube is provided with a guide space, formed by cutting away a portion of a tube wall of the inner tube and being extended along a tube axial direction, and the engagement member is moveable within the guide space.

4. The cosmetic material feeding-out container according to claim 3 , wherein the engagement member includes two engagement members being protruded in opposite directions with the center of a cosmetic material container interposed between the two engagement members.

5. The cosmetic material feeding-out container according to claim 2 , wherein the engagement member includes two engagement members being protruded in opposite directions with a center of the cosmetic material container interposed between the two engagement members.
