Abstract
A refillable case with a net for containing powdery cosmetic material includes a case body made of an elastic synthetic resin material having an opening opened upward for containing the powdery cosmetic material, and a net frame attached to cover the opening of the case body. The net frame has a net, an annular engagement member on which the net is placed, and an annular coupling portion located above the annular engagement member to set the net at a higher position than the annular engagement member to prevent the cosmetic material from leaking from the refillable case.

A refillable case for a powdery material, comprising:
- an inner case made of an elastic material for containing the powdery material therein, the inner case including,
- a substantially flat bottom surface,
- a side surface extending in an upward direction from the bottom surface and having a curving portion that curves in at least one of inward and outward directions,
- a brim formed at a top edge of the side surface, said brim having a higher rigidity than the bottom surface and the side surface;
- a net frame having an annular engagement member fitted to the brim of the inner case, said net frame further including an annular coupling portion, provided on top of said annular engagement member, for supporting a net at a position higher than said annular engagement member;
- and
- an outer case having a recess of a prescribed depth, into which the inner case is inserted.

A refillable case for a powdery material, comprising:
- an inner case having an upper opening and containing a powdery material therein, the inner case including,
- a substantially flat bottom surface made of an elastic material,
- at least one projection formed on the bottom surface in a downward direction,
- a side surface formed integrally with said flat bottom surface and extending in an upward direction from the bottom surface, said side surface having a curving portion that deforms at least in one of inward and outward directions when a force is applied thereto,
- a brim formed at a top edge of the side surface, said brim having a higher rigidity than the bottom surface and the side surface;
- a net frame having an annular engagement member fitted to the brim of the inner case and a net for covering the upper opening of the inner case;
- and
- an outer case made of a rigid material and having a recess for containing the inner case and slidably receiving said net frame therein, said outer case also having a bottom plate in contact only with the projection of the inner case when no downward force is applied to the net,
- wherein when a downward force is applied to said net, said net frame slides downward inside said outer case, deforms said side surface of the inner case in at least one of the inward and outward directions, and deflects said bottom surface of the inner case such that the bottom surface makes contact with the bottom plate of said outer case.
