Abstract

Abstract A cartridge type feeding container has a rod-like cosmetic material in which the rod-like cosmetic material is neither damaged nor pulled apart even if a buffering external shock is applied to the container and the cartridge is not pulled apart from the container body or any load is applied in a direction in which the core chucks and the feeding mechanism and dismounted apart from each other even if a torque is further applied to exceed a maximum fed condition. These advantages are the result of an internal member made of flexible material and provided on a part of an inner circumferential surface thereof with a cutaway formed by combining a slit cut in a circumferential direction. The internal member and the container body form a container cover portion such that a shock, applied from the outside of the container cover portion, is buffered in the cutaway in the internal member and is prevented from being transmitted to the cartridge.
