Abstract
A cylindrical cosmetic container includes an inner tubular member (1) formed with axially extending slots (2); an outer tubular member (7) formed with a spiral groove (9) and rotatably fitted to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tubular member; and a movable cup member (11) for mounting thereon a cylindrical cosmetic (15) to be accommodated within the inner tubular member, and the movable cup member having projection pins (13) attached on an outer circumferential surface thereof and engaged with the spiral groove of the outer tubular member through the slots of the inner tubular member. The inner tubular member (1) is formed with a bridge portion (101) at a base end portion thereof; and the bridge portion is further formed with a projection portion (103) which is brought into elastic contact with the base end portion of the outer tubular member. Since the sliding frictional resistance between the inner and outer tubular members can be increased, both the tubular members are not rotated easily relative to each other, even when a force is applied to the movable cup member through the cylindrical cosmetic in the direction in which the cup member is pushed into the container, thus preventing the retractive phenomenon from occurring. Further, since the clearances between the movable cup member and the inner and outer tubular members can be increased, it is possible to eliminate the use of any lubricant.
