The cover has a female screw formed at one end of the cover in the axial direction. The application container includes a main body that has an application tool that is configured to be inserted into the filling unit, and a male screw that is configured to be screwed into the female screw. Additionally, the application container includes a soft material wiper that is fixed to the opening of the filling unit. The wiper has a first protruding portion which protrudes outward from the opening in a radial direction of the filling unit to contact an inner surface of the cover. The first protruding portion is interposed in the axial direction between a wall portion disposed on the inner surface of the cover and the end of the filling unit which includes the opening. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An application container comprising: a cylindrical filling unit that has an opening in one end in an axial direction; a cover that has a cylindrical shape for accommodating the filling unit, and that has a female screw formed at one end of the cover in the axial direction; a main body that has an application tool that is configured to be inserted into the filling unit, and a male screw that is configured to be screwed into the female screw; and a soft material wiper that is fixed to the opening of the filling unit, wherein the wiper has a first protruding portion which protrudes outward from the opening in a radial direction of the filling unit to contact an inner surface of the cover, wherein the first protruding portion is interposed in the axial direction between a wall portion disposed on the inner surface of the cover and the end of the filling unit which includes the opening, and wherein the wiper has a second protruding portion which protrudes in the axial direction towards the end of the cover which includes the female screw. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The application container according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of wall portions are disposed on the inner surface of the cover along a circumferential direction of the cover. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The application container according to claim 1, further comprising: a bar-shaped application material that is located at an opposite end of the main body from the application tool, wherein the main body includes a feeding mechanism which feeds the bar-shaped application material in the axial direction. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The application container according to claim 1, wherein the cover is removably connectable to the main body via the female screw, and wherein the application tool is removed from the fitting unit through the wiper when the cover is removed from the main body. ### Claim 5 An application container comprising: a cylindrical filling unit that has an opening in one end in an axial direction; a cover that has a cylindrical shape for accommodating the filling unit, and that has a female screw formed at one end of the cover in the axial direction; a main body that has an application tool that is configured to be inserted into the filling unit, and a male screw that is configured to be screwed into the female screw; and a soft material wiper that is fixed to the opening of the filling unit, wherein the wiper has a first protruding portion which protrudes outward from the opening in a radial direction of the filling unit to contact an inner surface of the cover, wherein the first protruding portion is interposed in the axial direction between a wall portion disposed on the inner surface of the cover and the end of the filling unit which includes the opening, and wherein a plurality of wall portions are disposed on the inner surface of the cover along a circumferential direction of the cover. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The application container according to claim 5, further comprising: a bar-shaped application material that is located at an opposite end of the main body from the application tool, wherein the main body includes a feeding mechanism which feeds the bar-shaped application material in the axial direction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The application container according to claim 5, wherein the filling unit and the wiper are fixed to the cover to form a unitary accommodation portion that is removable from the main body via the female screw of the cover. ### Claim 8 An application container comprising: a main body having an application tool to apply an application material; and an accommodation portion to accommodate the application material, wherein the accommodation portion is removably connectable to the main body, and wherein the accommodation portion includes: a cover that extends in a longitudinal direction, wherein the cover includes an open end to receive the application tool of the main body, a longitudinal wall that extends substantially in the longitudinal direction, and an inner wall portion that extends inwardly from the longitudinal wall; a filling unit that is fixed inside the cover, wherein the filling unit extends in the longitudinal direction inside the cover, wherein the filling unit includes a first end forming an opening to receive the application tool and a second end opposite the first end; and a wiper that is at least partially located between the first end of the filling unit and the inner wall portion of the cover, in the longitudinal direction, wherein the wiper includes a protrusion that extends from the opening at the first end of the filling unit, outwardly toward the longitudinal wall of the cover, and wherein the protrusion is interposed in the longitudinal direction between the first end of the filling unit and the inner wall portion of the cover. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the wiper is mounted at the opening formed at the first end of the filling unit. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, comprising a plurality of inner wall portions including the inner wall portion, wherein the plurality of inner wall portions are arranged along an inner periphery of the cover to position the protrusion of the wiper between the plurality of inner wall portions and the filling unit. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the protrusion includes a first protruding portion that extends from the opening at the first end of the filling unit in a lateral direction that is orthogonal to the longitudinal direction toward the longitudinal wall of the cover, and a second protruding portion that extends from the first protruding portion in the longitudinal direction toward the opening of the cover. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The application container according to claim 11, wherein the inner wall portion of the cover extending from the longitudinal wall includes an inclined surface that extends inwardly away from the open end of the cover, to engage the second protruding portion of the wiper. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The application container according to claim 12, wherein the second protrusion includes an inclined surface to contact the inclined surface of the inner wall portion of the cover. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the wiper includes an inward extension portion that extends from the first end of the filling unit inwardly into the opening of the filling unit to form a through-hole for the application tool of the main body. ### Claim 15 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the second end of the filling unit is closed so as to form a container to store the application material. ### Claim 16 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the filling unit includes a longitudinal inner surface that extends substantially linearly in the longitudinal direction, from the first end to the second end of the filling unit. ### Claim 17 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the wiper is recessed relative to the open end of the cover, in the longitudinal direction. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The application container according to claim 17, wherein the main body includes a first screw thread, and wherein the cover includes a second screw thread located between the wiper and the open end, to engage the first screw thread on the main body. ### Claim 19 (depends on 8) The application container according to claim 8, wherein the wiper includes a flexible material.
