Abstract:
A container for a stick type cosmetic material having a mechanism for feeding the stick type cosmetic material, said container comprising:a front cylinder; a base cylinder which can be connected with the front cylinder; an outer shell section which is constituted by coaxially and rotatably connecting the front cylinder and the base cylinder; a travelling section installed in the outer shell section, the travelling section having a retaining section for retaining the stick type cosmetic material and travelling in an axial direction in the outer shell section; a rotation regulating mechanism which allows the travelling section only to relatively slide in an axial direction with respect to one of the front cylinder and the base cylinder which constitute the outer shell section; a spiral cylinder which has a female screw section to be spirally engaged with a male screw section installed at the travelling section; a spiral engagement mechanism which is constituted by spiral engagement of the male screw section and the female screw section; synchronously rotating means for rotating, by slide resistance, the spiral cylinder synchronously with the other one of the front cylinder and the base cylinder which constitute the outer shell section; and travel regulating means for regulating travel of the travelling section at its travelling limit in the outer shell section, wherein when the front cylinder and the base cylinder are relatively rotated, the travelling section is fed out by the feeding mechanism, and when rotary torque which causes the front cylinder and the base cylinder to relatively rotate when the travelling section reaches an uppermost limit exceeds a value of the slide resistance of the synchronously rotating means, the synchronously rotating means are released and the spiral cylinder and the male screw section are synchronously rotated.
