Abstract
The invention provides a stick-shaped cosmetic screw-out container including a holding cylinder fitting and holding a stick-shaped cosmetic and having a screwing projection provided from a side wall. The container also includes a shell cylinder including the holding cylinder vertically slidably, having a guide groove through which the screwing projection penetrates provided on a side wall and having an engagement concave portion provided on a lower side wall. The container further includes a sleeve fitted in the shell cylinder, having a screwing groove for screwing the screwing projection provided on an inner wall and having, on a lower inner wall, an inner peripheral rib engaged rotatably with the engagement concave portion so as not to be dropped out, a body cylinder for holding a lower portion of the shell cylinder so as not to be dropped out, and a fitting cylinder fixed onto the body cylinder and provided with a fitting portion in which a cap is removably fitted. The container is made such that at least one of the holding cylinder, the shell cylinder and the sleeve is formed of a different material. The lower portion of the shell cylinder is connected to the body cylinder unrotatably and removably so as not to be dropped out. The shell cylinder is divided into an upper shell cylinder and a lower shell cylinder. The upper shell cylinder is provided with the guide groove. A diameter increasing portion having an outside diameter increased is provided in a lower portion. A pair of window portions are provided in the vicinity of a lower end in a horizontal direction and a tongue piece-shaped inserting portion to enter from the lower end of the upper shell cylinder is linked to the lower shell cylinder. A hook is protruded from the window portion to an outside over a side wall of a tip portion of the inserting portion, and one of end faces of the hook is cut like a taper to constitute a cam portion, and in such a state that the hook is protruded from the window portion of the upper shell cylinder. The engagement concave portion is formed under the hook, and the hook is retracted into the window portion by the cam portion of the hook and is disengaged from the engagement concave portion when the upper shell cylinder and the lower shell cylinder are rotated relatively in a direction of the cam portion.
