Abstract
A stick-type cosmetic container including an outer cylinder, a sleeve, an inner container in which a stick-type cosmetic can be filled, one or more small projections provided on the inner container being guided by an inner container guiding groove formed on the sleeve, the small projection moving upward and downward along a helical groove formed on the inner surface of the outer cylinder, and the stick-type cosmetic filled in the inner container being projected and retracted. The lower end of the inner container guiding groove formed on the sleeve is opened and a retaining mechanism for the small projection is provided at the lower portion of the inner container guiding groove. Refilling and replacement of the stick-type cosmetic container can be performed by the use of a simple jig, and there is no problem of dropping of the inner container when in use.
