2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a cosmetic filling apparatus, there is an apparatus which automates from a cosmetic filling step to a discharge through a pressing step.

[0003] In general, in this type of apparatus, the powdery cosmetic is overfilled to a position higher than the upper limit of the container, and then compacted in a pressing step to be flush with the upper limit of the container.

[0004] In this case, if the cosmetic is simply overfilled to a position higher than the upper limit of the container, the cosmetic spreads out at the time of pressing, so that a ring-shaped jig (adapter) is used. The jig was removed after fitting around the area, filling with cosmetics and pressing.

The used jigs are collected in a dedicated container for the jigs, and are returned to the jig replenishing section when the filling of a predetermined lot is completed.

On the other hand, in the filling step and the pressing step, powdery cosmetics spill around, but conventionally, the dust suction nozzle was manually moved to remove the dusty nozzle.

However, the above-mentioned conventional apparatus has a problem in achieving automation. That is, the jigs used in the filling step and the pressing step are to be recycled for the time being, but a large amount of jigs was replenished to the automatic feeder in advance, and all the jigs were used and discharged first. Since replenishment of the jig is repeated, many jigs are required, which is uneconomical, and it is difficult to achieve full automation because this replenishment must rely on humans.

Further, cosmetics spilled around in the filling step and the pressing step have to be manually sucked, which is an obstacle to labor saving.
