The blocked state can be maintained. A mirror 19 is fixed to the lower surface of the lid 14.

Reference numeral 15 is a shock absorbing member. The shock absorbing member 15 is made of a flexible elastic material typified by an elastomer, rubber, or the like. The shock absorbing member 15 is integrally provided with a bottom wall 15b at the lower end of a peripheral wall 15a having a substantially rectangular cross section, and a saucer member 12 is housed inside the bottom wall 15b. That is, the peripheral wall 15a surrounds the saucer member 12 from the outside in a plan view, and the bottom wall 15b covers the saucer member 12 from below.

The peripheral wall 15a stands up from the bottom wall 15b and surrounds and holds the side portion 12a of the saucer member 12 from the outside in a plan view. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral wall 15a is formed with an annular protrusion 15p that projects inward over the entire circumference of the inner peripheral surface thereof. The inner peripheral surface of the annular protrusion 15p and the outer peripheral surface of the side portion 12a of the saucer member 12 are fitted tightly to each other. Therefore, by fitting the side portion 12a of the saucer member 12 to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 15a of the shock absorbing member 15, the annular protrusion 15p elastically deforms outward in the plan view and becomes the side portion 12a of the saucer member 12. The saucer member 12 is held by the shock absorbing member 15 (annular protrusion 15p) so as to abut and press inward, and is elastically supported in the front-back and left-right directions. Further, the bottom portion 12b (edge portion 12b2) of the saucer member 12 comes into contact with the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15, so that the saucer member 12 is elastically supported in the vertical direction as well. As a result, even if the container body 13 receives an impact from any direction of front, back, left, right, up and down, the impact is not directly transmitted to the saucer member 12, and the impact is absorbed by the impact absorbing member 15. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the solid cosmetic S contained in the saucer member 12 from being cracked or chipped.

An annular protrusion is also provided on the outer peripheral surface of the side portion 12a of the saucer member 12, and the annular protrusion is locked with respect to the annular protrusion 15p so that the saucer member 12 can be removed from the shock absorbing member 15.

Further, the annular protrusion 15p does not necessarily have to be provided over the entire circumference, and may be provided intermittently in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, a magnet member M is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom wall 15b. In the present embodiment, the magnet member M is a plate-shaped member having a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view, and is magnetized in the vertical direction of FIG. As the magnet member M, for example, a ferrite magnet, a neodymium magnet, or the like can be used. Further, the magnet member M may have a configuration in which the above-mentioned magnet material is combined with another ferromagnetic material as a core material.

In the present embodiment, the magnet member M is fitted and fixed to the recess 15e provided on the lower surface of the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15. The recess 15e into which the magnet member M fits is partitioned by a fitting cylinder portion 15d that surrounds the periphery, and the magnet member M is undercut with an engaging protrusion 15d1 formed at the lower end of the fitting cylinder portion 15d. It is attached so that it cannot be attached or detached by engaging.

In the present embodiment, at least a part of the bottom portion 12b of the saucer member 12 is covered with a ferromagnetic material, and the magnet member M and the ferromagnetic material portion of the saucer member 12 overlap in a plan view. Therefore, since the magnet member M and the ferromagnetic portion of the saucer member 12 are attracted to each other in the vertical direction, even if an impact is applied and the saucer member 12 moves upward in the container body 13, as described later, the magnet is used. The attracting force acting between the member M and the ferromagnetic portion can return and maintain the saucer member 12 in the shock absorbing member 15. The above configuration is particularly effective when an impact is applied to the container body 13 or the like with the lid 14 open.

A through hole 15h (see FIGS. 2 and 4) that vertically penetrates the bottom wall 15b is provided on the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15 toward the rear of the magnet member M. The user inserts a bar or the like through the through hole 15h and the through hole 13h provided in the bottom 13b of the container body 13, and directly presses the bottom 12b of the pan member 12 with the bar or the like to directly press the pan member 12 with the bar or the like. Can be removed from the shock absorbing member 15 and refilled with the solid cosmetic S. The through hole 15h does not necessarily have to be provided. When the through hole 13h is provided in the bottom 13b of the container body 13 and the through hole 15h is not provided in the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15, the user inserts a bar or the like through the through hole 13h. By pressing the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15, the shock absorbing member 15 can be elastically deformed, and the tray member 12 can be pressed from below via the shock absorbing member 15.

It is composed of a bottom wall 15b1. As shown in the figure, by forming the central bottom wall 15b1 thickly with respect to the edge portion 15b2, the bending rigidity of the central bottom wall 15b1 is increased, so that the rigidity of the entire shock absorbing member 15 is increased and the handling of the member is increased. And can be easily transported.

In the present embodiment, the thickness of the corner portion 15c where the peripheral wall 15a and the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15 intersect is made thinner than the average thickness of the bottom wall 15b. As a result, when an impact is applied to the container body 13, the corner portion 15c is deformed, so that the shock absorbing member 15 is deformed while following the movement of the container body 13, and the impact applied to the container body 13 is effectively applied. Can be absorbed.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the edge portion 15b2, the corner portion 15c, and the peripheral wall 15a are formed thinner than the central bottom wall 15b1, so that the edge portion 15b2 is formed when an impact is applied to the container body 13. As the corner portion 15c and the peripheral wall 15a are deformed as a whole, the shock absorbing member 15 is deformed while following the movement of the container body 13, and the shock applied to the container body 13 can be effectively absorbed.

A flange portion 15f extending in the outward direction is formed at the upper end portion of the peripheral wall 15a, and an annular protrusion 15g projects upward from the outer end of the flange portion 15f. In the present embodiment, the shock absorbing member 15 and the middle frame member 17 use different materials (for example, an elastomer for the shock absorbing member 15 and ABS resin for the middle frame member 17) by insert molding or two-color molding (double molding). It is configured as one. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the middle frame member 17 abuts on the stepped portion 13e formed on the side portion 13a of the container body 13 and is fitted to the inner side surface of the fitting wall 13w, whereby the shock absorbing member 15 Is fixed to the container body 13. The shock absorbing member 15 may be fixed to the container body 13 by means such as adhesion instead of being fixed to the container body 13 via the middle frame member 17.

As described above, the saucer member 12 is supported by the shock absorbing member 15 in a state of being separated from the side portion 13a and the bottom portion 13b of the container body 13. Therefore, the impact received by the container body 13 is transmitted to the saucer member 12 through the peripheral wall 15a and the bottom wall 15b of the shock absorbing member 15, so that the saucer member 12 does not directly receive the impact from the container body 13.
