Abstract

A liquid cosmetic container which has a secure mechanism for defining the limit of the aperture regulation of a remover 13 is provided. In addition, the degree of aperture of the remover 13 is not influenced by the operation of putting or removing a cap 3. The liquid cosmetic container is provided with the cap 3, and an aperture-regulating ring 7 engages with an upper outer face of a container main body 19. A neck 5 which has an aperture regulating section 11 on the rear end moves in an axial direction in response to rotations of the aperture-regulating ring 7, thereby varying the diameter of a central aperture 119 of the remover 13. Furthermore a rotation-limiting piece 103 extends from a lower end of the aperture-regulating ring 7 and a rotation-limiting projection 136 is provided on an outer face of the container main body 19 which is under an engaging surface of the aperture-regulating ring 7. The rotation of the aperture-regulating ring 7 is regulated by the contact of the rotation-limiting piece 103 with the rotation-limiting projection 136.
