More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the fixing base 7 is formed in a substantially U-shape, and has a plate-shaped upper piece 7a with side edges formed in an arc shape, and the upper piece 7a. Similarly, a plate-shaped lower piece 7c whose side edges are formed in an arc shape (the front-rear width is smaller than the upper piece 7a, and the left-right width is formed to be the same as the upper piece 7a), and both pieces 7a, 7b And a vertical piece 7c for connecting with each other. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the fixing base 7 is provided with a fitting groove 9 on its outer surface, which is connected from the rear portion of the upper piece 7a to the vertical center of the lower piece 7b through the vertical piece 7c. There is. The puff 3 is detachably mounted between the upper and lower pieces 7a and 7b of the fixing table 7, and in this mounting state, the vertical piece 7c is on the lower side and the fixed table 7 is mounted on the upper surface of the table or the like. When placed, the puff 3 will be in an upright position.

As shown in FIG. 7, the puff holder 8 is integrally formed with an engaging portion 10 formed in a substantially U-shape, and on an upper portion of the U-shaped vertical piece 10 c of the engaging portion 10. It is composed of an inverted L-shaped support portion 11 formed. The engaging portion 10 is formed in such a size that it can be removably slidably fitted into the fitting groove 9 of the fixed base 7. A lower end portion of the support portion 11 is formed in a semicircular shape, and a shaft hole 12 for inserting the hinge shaft 13 is formed in a central portion of the semicircular shape. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, an engaging protrusion 14 is formed on the left side surface of the semicircular portion so as to project therefrom. When the upper and lower pieces 10a, 10b of the engaging portion 10 are in a horizontal state, the engaging convex portion 14 has an upper surface 14a formed in a horizontal plane extending forward from the peripheral edge of the shaft hole 12 as shown in FIG. The side surface 14b is formed as an inclined surface that extends rearward at an angle of 15 degrees from the peripheral edge of the shaft hole 12.

As shown in FIG. 3, the puff holder 8 as described above is rotatably connected to the hinge shaft 13 of the container body 1 while being arranged on the right side of the lid body 2. The engaging convex portion 14 formed on the support portion 11 is adapted to engage with the notch portion 15 formed on the rear end portion 2a of the lid body 2. That is, the lower end portion of the rear end portion 2a of the lid body 2 is formed in the same semicircular shape as the lower end portion of the support portion 11 of the puff holder 8 and the central portion of the semicircular shape has the above-mentioned shape. A shaft hole 16 through which the hinge shaft 13 is inserted is opened. In this semicircular portion, as shown in FIG. 10, a cutout portion 15 is formed on the right side surface thereof. As shown in FIG. 11, when the cutout portion 15 is in the closed state, the front side portion 15a of the upper surface thereof is formed in a horizontal plane extending forward from the peripheral edge of the shaft hole 16, and the rear side portion 15b is formed. It is formed as an inclined surface extending upward by 15 degrees from the peripheral edge of the shaft hole 16. In FIG. 3, 6 is a ventilation hole.

In the compact thus configured, as shown in FIG. 1, in the closed state, the front portion 15a of the upper surface of the cutout portion 15 formed in the rear end portion 2a of the lid body 2 becomes horizontal, The upper surface 14a of the engaging convex portion 14 formed on the support portion 11 of the puff holder 8 is pressed by the front portion 15a of the upper surface of the cutout portion 15 to be horizontally fixed and held. Therefore, the upper and lower pieces 10a and 10b of the engaging portion 10 of the puff holder 8 are held horizontally in the puff housing recess 1b, whereby the puff 3 mounted on the fixed base 7 is held in the puff housing recess 1b.
