Abstract:
1. A container for a viscous cosmetic comprising: a cylindrical receiving body that receives a viscous cosmetic therein; a lid body that is detachably connected to an upper end of the receiving body and air-tightly seals off communication between the inside of the receiving body and the outside air; a rotation body that is connected and placed at a lower end of the receiving body in a rotatable manner; a screw shaft that is placed at the center of the rotation body coaxially with a shaft direction of the receiving body and is inserted into the receiving body; an inner tray that defines an upper and a lower section and that is connected to an outer periphery of the screw shaft by means of screw thread and, an outer periphery of which is placed so as to be slidable on and in intimate contact with an inner surface of the receiving body; and an annular packing that is placed in intimate contact with the surface on the screw thread connection section side of the inner tray, an inner peripheral end of which is placed so as to be in intimate contact with the outer periphery of the screw shaft and a outer peripheral end of which is placed so as to be in intimate contact with an inner surface of a packing presser, the packing presser having an outer surface in contact with an inner tray wall of the inner tray that is positioned between the outer periphery of the screw shaft and the outer periphery of the inner tray, and the annular packing being slidable along the screw shaft by sliding the inner tray, wherein the inner tray is installed and is tightened toward the screw shaft with the outer periphery thereof placed in intimate contact with the outer periphery, a torque on the outer peripheral side placed in intimate contact with the receiving body is larger than a torque on the screw thread section side of the inner tray with the inner peripheral surface placed in intimate contact with the outer periphery of the inner tray, the inner tray is slidable in an axial direction with the inner tray hardly rotated in the receiving body, the screw shaft has a flat section having no screw groove in the axial direction, and the upper section and the lower section are air-tightly sealed off by allowing the flat section and the inner peripheral end surface of the packing be in intimate contact with each other.
