Patent ID: 8651759

Claim:
A cosmetic container comprising: a cylindrical container body including: a cylinder main body, a spiral cylinder body having upper and lower ends and incorporating the cylinder main body so as to rotate relative to the cylinder main body, a middle plate body configured for accommodating a cylindrical cosmetic, the middle plate body being movable up and down corresponding to the relative rotation of the cylinder main body and the spiral cylinder body, a middle tool having opposite upper and lower ends and an outer circumferential surface extending between the ends, the upper end of the middle tool extending farther up than the upper end of the spiral cylinder body, a convex rib protruding out from the outer circumferential surface of the middle tool at a position between the upper end of the middle tool and the upper end of the spiral cylinder body; and a cap assembly fit outside the upper end of the cylinder main body for covering the upper end of the middle tool above the upper end of the spiral cylinder body, the cap assembly including: an outer cap, and an inner cap incorporated into the outer cap, the inner cap having at least one protrusion protruding from an inner circumferential surface of the inner cap and being deformable outwardly in response to contact with the upper end of the middle tool for applying a first motion resistance from a halfway covering posture to an immediately preceding covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap assembly, at least one projection projecting from an outer circumferential surface of the inner cap at a position lower than the protrusion, and portions of the inner circumferential surface of the inner cap aligned with the projection moving together over the convex rib for applying a second motion resistance larger than the first motion resistance while the projection moves past the convex rib from the immediately preceding covering posture to a fully covering posture in the course of covering the container body with the cap assembly, and the second motion resistance is applied while the first motion resistance is maintained.
