Container

Abstract

There is provided a container capable of preventing detachment of a cap body from a case main body before outward advancement of a drawer member when the cap body is turned in the direction for unscrewing it from the case main body. By turning all or part of the case main body or cap body except the drawer member, about the screwing axis of the external and internal threads, the drawer member is advanced outward by the cam mechanism disposed within the container. The resistance applying means is provided to impart resistance to rotation between the case main body and the cap body for prevention of rotation of the cap body in the direction for unscrewing it from the case main body before advancement of the drawer member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container comprising:
 a case main body;   a cap body which is openably screwed on the case main body through an engagement between an external thread and an internal thread; and   a drawer member disposed in the case main body or in the cap body for free outwardly advancing motion and retracting motion, the drawer member being caused to advance outward by a cam mechanism attached to the container interiorly thereof when all or part of the case main body or the cap body, other than the drawer member, is turned about a screwing axis of said external thread and internal thread, and further comprising:   resistance applying means for providing resistance to rotation between the case main body and the cap body to restrain rotation of the cap body in a direction for unscrewing it from the case main body until after outward advancement of the drawer member.   
     
     
         2 . A container according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 advancement securing means for holding the drawer member securely in an outwardly-advanced position.   
     
     
         3 . A container according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 retraction securing means for holding the drawer member securely in a retracted position in the case main body or the cap body.   
     
     
         4 . A container according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein said cap body includes an outer cap and an inner cap,   and wherein loading means is further provided to allow the drawer member to be loaded into the cap body from outside even under a condition where the outer cap and the inner cap are integrated with each other.   
     
     
         5 . A container according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein said case main body includes an outer case and an inner case,   and wherein loading means is further provided to allow the drawer member to be loaded into the case main body from outside even under a condition where the outer case and the inner case are integrated with each other.   
     
     
         6 . A container according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein a top plate is rotatably disposed on a top side of the cap body, and the drawer member is caused to advance outward by relative rotation of the top plate,   and wherein loading means is further provided to allow the drawer member to be loaded into the top plate from outside even under a condition where the cap body and the top plate are integrated with each other.   
     
     
         7 . A container according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 unloading means capable of ejecting the drawer member loaded in said cap body.   
     
     
         8 . A container according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 unloading means capable of ejecting the drawer member loaded in said case main body.   
     
     
         9 . A container according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 unloading means capable of ejecting the drawer member loaded in said top plate.   
     
     
         10 . A container according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein, by turning the cap body in a direction for screwing it on the case main body, the drawer member in an outwardly-advanced state is caused to retract into the case main body or the cap body, and simultaneously the cap body is screwed on the case main body.   
     
     
         11 . A container according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein said case main body is designed to store cosmetic products therein, and said drawer member is configured as a housing case capable of accommodating a mirror or a comb, or configured in itself as a cosmetic tool for application of cosmetic products, a mirror, or a comb.
