[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cosmetic container in which the cosmetic is cut into powder.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, powdery cosmetics such as powder are solidified by compression, stored in a cosmetic container called compact and carried, and the cosmetics are scraped off with a puff when the cosmetics are used. . However, in order to scrape off the cosmetic material, it is necessary to shorten the flocked portion of the puff, for example, to make it harder, and the use of this hard puff makes the makeup feel worse. Thus, the cosmetic material is scraped and powdered each time, and by using the powdered cosmetic material, it becomes possible to use a soft puff, for example, by lengthening the hairs.
[0003]
A cosmetic container in which cosmetics are scraped off is proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-38661. That is, such a cosmetic container stores cosmetics so as not to rotate with respect to the container body, and is configured by rotatably providing a cutting plate above the cosmetics, while rotating the cutting plate. The cosmetics are scraped off. The cutting plate is configured by radially forming a large number of cutting teeth that are elongated holes in the radial direction, and the radial center is decentered from the rotation center of the cutting plate.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a conventional cosmetic container, the cutting teeth formed radially on the cutting plate are simply decentered from the center of rotation of the cutting plate as described above, The directing direction of each cutting tooth varies depending on the eccentric direction, and the directing direction is arranged in a portion inclined forward, a portion inclined backward, and radially arranged with respect to the center of rotation of the cutting plate. Various parts are generated. For this reason, the sharpness of scraping off the cosmetic with the cutting teeth is not constant for each cutting tooth, and as a result, the overall cutting efficiency deteriorates and a relatively large force is required to rotate the cutting plate, There was a problem that uneven cutting of the cosmetic material occurred.
[0005]
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and the cutting teeth arranged radially are inclined to increase the cutting force by the individual cutting teeth, and the inclination directions of all the cutting teeth are made the same. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic container in which the cutting efficiency of each cutting tooth is made equal to improve the overall cutting efficiency.
[0006]
