A dispensing container with a pump includes a neck, a manual pump of a push-down type disposed in the neck, a push-down head fitted to the top of the pump, and a cap having an attaching cylinder fitted around the neck. A rotary cylinder is disposed on the outside of the attaching cylinder coaxially on central axis. A cover cylinder having a cover wall is disposed coaxially between the attaching cylinder and the rotary cylinder in a manner capable of going up and down under the condition that an elevating system has been established with the attaching cylinder and the rotary cylinder by the rotary movement of the rotary attachment. The cover cylinder is disposed so the push-down head is exposed out of the cover cylinder at its lower-limit position and cannot be pushed down at the upper-limit position of the cover cylinder to prevent contents from being erroneously discharged.

Dispensing container with a pump

A plate-exchangeable compact container having a mounting chamber which can store a large plate or a pair of small plates, and a plate spring that applies a force in a forward direction. The spring force applies a pressure to both the left and right sides of the large plate or to the small plates. When the small plates are mounted in the mounting chamber, engagement protrusions are attached in a manner which allows them to contact the side regions of each small plate back panel.

Plate exchangeable compact container

A refill case that includes a middle plate, the middle plate has a bottomed short cylinder shape that contains a cosmetic item and an outward brim along the periphery, a case body that accepts and keeps the middle plate, and a cap that is fitted around the case body detachably in screw engagement. The refill case also includes a ring-shaped gasket made of a soft, elastic material used to seal the middle plate through tight contact of the brim, and a butting wall disposed on either one of the case body or the cap to butt against the other one at a position in which screw engagement of the cap is complete and in which soft contact deformation of the gasket is controlled within a range of elastic deformation. The gasket is fitted to the cap in an undetachable manner but having play relative to the roof.
