A cylindrical cosmetic container, comprising: - a container body for accommodating a cylindrical cosmetic; - an inner cap incorporated into a cap for covering the container body by fitting from an upper end of the container body, and - a middle tool provided to the container body including: * a convex rib formed to project from an outer circumferential surface of the middle tool, and * an upper end portion of the middle tool that extends upward further than the convex rib, and wherein: - the inner cap includes: * an opened lower end portion; * a protrusion that protrudes vertically long from an inner circumferential surface of the inner cap and is deformable toward an outer diameter side of the inner cap in response to sliding contact with an upper end of the upper end portion for applying a first motion resistance from a halfway covering posture to a fully covering posture through an immediately preceding covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap; and * a projection that projects from an outer circumferential surface of the inner cap for applying a second motion resistance larger than the first motion resistance while the convex rib moves over the projection from the immediately preceding covering posture to the fully covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap, characterized in that: the protrusion is positioned on the inner cap further from the opened lower end portion than the projection. - a container body for accommodating a cylindrical cosmetic; - an inner cap incorporated into a cap for covering the container body by fitting from an upper end of the container body, and - a middle tool provided to the container body including: * a convex rib formed to project from an outer circumferential surface of the middle tool, and * an upper end portion of the middle tool that extends upward further than the convex rib, and wherein: * a convex rib formed to project from an outer circumferential surface of the middle tool, and * an upper end portion of the middle tool that extends upward further than the convex rib, and wherein: - the inner cap includes: * an opened lower end portion; * a protrusion that protrudes vertically long from an inner circumferential surface of the inner cap and is deformable toward an outer diameter side of the inner cap in response to sliding contact with an upper end of the upper end portion for applying a first motion resistance from a halfway covering posture to a fully covering posture through an immediately preceding covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap; and * a projection that projects from an outer circumferential surface of the inner cap for applying a second motion resistance larger than the first motion resistance while the convex rib moves over the projection from the immediately preceding covering posture to the fully covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap, * an opened lower end portion; * a protrusion that protrudes vertically long from an inner circumferential surface of the inner cap and is deformable toward an outer diameter side of the inner cap in response to sliding contact with an upper end of the upper end portion for applying a first motion resistance from a halfway covering posture to a fully covering posture through an immediately preceding covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap; and * a projection that projects from an outer circumferential surface of the inner cap for applying a second motion resistance larger than the first motion resistance while the convex rib moves over the projection from the immediately preceding covering posture to the fully covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap, the protrusion is positioned on the inner cap further from the opened lower end portion than the projection.
