It has a second locking projection 84.

A convex portion 57 that engages with the engaging portion 8 is provided on the inner peripheral edge of the opening of the lid 5. The convex portion 57 hits the locking portion 82 (the first locking projection 83 and the second locking projection 84) as it rotates in the direction of closing the lid 5. Further, when a rotational force is applied to the lid 5, the convex portion 57 gets over the locking portion 82 and hits the detent portion 81 to restrict rotation. On the other hand, in this state, when a rotational force is applied to the lid 5 in the opening direction, the convex portion 57 hits the locking portion 82 and the rotation is restricted, but when a stronger rotational force is applied, the convex portion 57 is locked. After overcoming the portion 82, the rotation restriction by the locking portion 82 is released.

The external preparation 1 is housed in the container 2 having such a structure. The external preparation 1 is held by the support 3. The external preparation 1 is composed of a solidified external composition. As the external composition, for example, a deodorant composition for suppressing axillary odor is used.

The external preparation 1 contains a solid oil component and a liquid oil component and / or a semi-solid oil component. As the solid oil content, plant-derived and / or animal-derived oil content is used. The consistency of the external preparation 1 is about 10 to 40.

As the solid oil content derived from plants or animals, waxes, solid fats and oils and the like are used. Specific examples of the waxes include beeswax, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, jojo wax, cellac wax, and rice bran wax, and one or more of these can be used. Specific examples of solid fats and oils include Japan wax and cacao fats and oils. The solid oil content preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of beeswax, candelilla wax, and carnauba wax.

As the liquid oil or semi-solid oil, liquid oils or semi-solid oils, hydrocarbon oils, ester oils, chain silicone oils, cyclic silicone oils, triglycerin, fluorine-modified oils and the like can be used. The external preparation 1 preferably contains at least one liquid oil component and at least one semi-solid oil component.

An external product having such a configuration is manufactured, for example, as follows.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the support 3 and the lid 5 are turned upside down, and in this state, the male screw portion 33 of the support 3 is screwed into the female screw portion 52 of the lid 5. After that, as shown in FIG. 7B, the liquid external composition is injected from above the lid 5 in the upside down state toward the inside of the molding die 53, and the liquid level of the external composition is set on the support 3. It is positioned until it is located above the holding portion 34. At this time, it is preferable to inject the external composition into the through hole 36 of the support 3 through the injection nozzle. As a result, the temperature drop of the liquid external composition can be suppressed as much as possible by preventing the external composition from coming into contact with the support 3, and the generation of bubbles can be suppressed to inject the external composition.

Next, in this state, as shown in FIG. 7, the container body 21 that has been turned upside down is placed above the support 3 that has been turned upside down. At this time, when the plurality of protrusions 62 of the support 3 are inserted into the plurality of grooves 61 of the container body 21, the second ridge 72 of the container body 21 is placed on the first ridge 71. In this state, as shown in FIG. 7D, since the second ridge 72 is placed over the entire length of the first ridge 71, the gap between the container body 21 and the lid 5 is omitted over the entire length. The width is the same, and the container body 21 is stably supported.

Next, the container body 21 is pressed toward the support 3 side. At this time, the protrusion 62 moves along the groove 61 to guide the relative movement between the container body 21 and the support 3, so that it is possible to prevent the protrusion 62 from moving relative to the container while being tilted. When the container body 21 is pushed toward the support 3, the first ridge 71 gets over the second ridge 72. As a result, the support 3 is fitted into the container body 21.

After this, the liquid external composition is solidified into a solid state. The liquid external composition prepared under heating conditions becomes solid by cooling. As a result, the external product is completed. The step of solidifying the liquid external composition may be performed before the step of fitting the support 3 into the container body 21.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the external product of the present embodiment has a substantially circular shape in a plan view and a substantially spherical shape (including a shape having a spherical surface in most parts such as an egg shape). The external product has a plurality of ridge lines 9 continuous from the upper end of the lid 5 to the bottom of the container body 21 when the lid is attached. The plurality of ridge lines 9 are arranged radially in a plan view. Therefore, when the lid 5 of the present embodiment is rotated to a predetermined position with respect to the container body 21 and is restricted from rotating (that is, when the lid is attached), the ridge line 9 is formed from the upper end of the lid 5 to the container body 21. It is configured to be continuous to the bottom of the.

Therefore, when the lid 5 is not sufficiently rotated and the lid 5 is not rotated to a predetermined position, the ridge lines 9 are not continuous in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 8B. Therefore, the user can find the lid 5 improperly attached at first glance. Moreover, since the ridge lines 9 are arranged radially in a plan view, the user can immediately find them no matter where they look.

Further, since the outer shape of the external product of the present embodiment is composed of a substantially spherical container 2, the feel and the fit to the fingers are good. Thereby, the usability can be improved.

Although the plurality of grooves 61 of the present embodiment are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the container body 21, they may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the support 3. In this case, the plurality of protrusions 62 inserted into the plurality of grooves 61 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the container body 21. As a result, the guide unit 6 can be configured as in the present embodiment.

(Characteristics of this embodiment)

It includes a lid 5 that is detachably attached. The lid 5 is provided with a molding mold 53 of the external preparation 1 on the inner surface thereof. The container 2 has a plurality of grooves 61 provided on either the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the container body 21 or the outer peripheral surface of the support 3, and either the inner peripheral surface of the opening or the outer peripheral surface of the support 3. It is provided with a plurality of protrusions 62 provided in the above. The plurality of grooves 61 are formed so as to be spaced in the circumferential direction of the peripheral surface and along the vertical direction. The plurality of protrusions 62 are inserted into the plurality of grooves 61. The plurality of grooves 61 and the plurality of protrusions 62 are configured to guide the relative movement of the container body 21 and the support 3 in the vertical direction when the container body 21 and the support 3 are fitted.

As described above, in the container 2 of the external preparation of the present embodiment, when the support 3 is fitted into the container body 21, the container body 21 and the support 3 are connected by inserting the plurality of protrusions 62 into the plurality of grooves 61. It can guide relative movement. Therefore, even if the container body 21 and the support 3 are pressed in the approaching direction, it is possible to prevent the container body 21 from being pressed in an inclined state. As a result, it is possible to prevent the container body 21 and the support 3 from being deformed.

Further, in the container 2 of the present embodiment, since a plurality of protrusions 62 and grooves 61 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the support 3 at intervals in the circumferential direction, the container 2 is in an assembled state. High strength can be maintained even with respect to the relative stress in the circumferential direction between the container body 21 and the support 3.

Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the support 3 of the container 2 of the present embodiment, a first ridge 71 provided over the entire circumference is provided. A second ridge 72 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21 over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction. When the container body 21 and the support 3 are turned upside down and the plurality of protrusions 62 are inserted into the plurality of grooves 61, the second ridge 72 is placed on the first ridge 71. Then, when the support 3 is fitted into the opening of the container body 21, the second ridge 72 and the first ridge 71 are engaged with each other, and the container body 21 and the support 3 move relative to each other in a direction away from each other. Is configured to regulate.

As described above, in the container 2 of the present embodiment, when the container body 21 is placed on the support 3, the second ridge 72 is placed on the first ridge 71. Because the first ridge 71 is provided over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the support 3, and the second ridge 72 is provided over the entire circumference of the inner peripheral surface of the container body 21. When the container body 21 is placed on the support 3, the container body 21 is unlikely to tilt. As a result, it is possible to prevent the container body 21 from being pressed in an inclined state.

Further, the container 2 of the present embodiment has a substantially circular shape in a plan view when the lid is attached. The lid 5 is configured so that it can be attached to and detached from the support 3 by rotating around the vertical axis 91. In the lid-mounted state, a plurality of ridge lines 9 continuous from the upper end of the lid 5 to the bottom of the container body 21 are provided radially in a plan view. In the lid-mounted state, the lid 5 is attached to the support 3, and the upper end edge of the container body 21 and the lower end edge of the lid 5 face each other in close proximity to each other.

The term "closely opposed" includes not only a state in which the container body 21 and the lid 5 face each other through a gap, but also a state in which they are in contact with each other. Further, the "planar view substantially circular shape" does not mean only a circular shape in a strict sense, but also includes a shape that can be regarded as a circle. For example, the substantially circular shape in the plan view includes a hexadecagon.

In the container 2 of the present embodiment, the ridge line 9 is not continuous when the lid 5 is not sufficiently rotated and the lid 5 is not rotated to a predetermined position. Therefore, the user can find the lid 5 improperly attached at first glance. Moreover, since the ridge lines 9 are provided in a radial pattern in a plan view, the user can immediately find a mounting defect no matter where he looks at the position.

Further, the lid 5 of the present embodiment is configured so that it can be attached to and detached from the support 3 by rotating around the vertical axis 91. The molding surface 54 of the molding die 53 has a circular shape in a cross section perpendicular to the vertical shaft 91, and its inner diameter becomes smaller toward the upper side.

When the container 2 of the present embodiment is rotated in the direction of opening the lid 5 after the external preparation 1 is molded using the lid 5, all the molding surfaces 54 of the molding mold 53 are separated from the surface of the external preparation 1. Therefore, according to the container 2 of the present embodiment, when the lid 5 is opened, the inner surface of the lid 5 can be prevented from rubbing against the molded external preparation 1.

Further, the protrusion 62 of the present embodiment is provided at the same position as the first protrusion 71 in the vertical direction of the support 3. Therefore, according to the container 2 of the present embodiment, the length of the support 3 in the vertical direction can be shortened as compared with the structure in which the fixing portion 7 and the guide portion 6 are provided side by side in the vertical direction, and the container body can be shortened. The total length of the 21 in the vertical direction can also be shortened. As a result, a compact external product can be obtained. In particular, since the external product of the present embodiment is an axillary deodorant product, a compact external product is easy for the user to apply to the axilla through the collar and is easy to use.

Each bulging portion 39a has a pair of bulging surfaces 40a.

The bulging surface 40a extends in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction around the vertical axis 91. In particular, the bulging surface 40a of the present embodiment is configured by a vertical plane orthogonal to the circumferential direction around the vertical axis 91.

When the external preparation 1 is solidified, the holding portion 34a is embedded in the external preparation 1. As a result, the support 3a holds the external preparation 1. At this time, since the holding portion 34a has a bulging surface 40a that extends in a direction intersecting the circumferential direction around the vertical axis 91, the external preparation 1 can be held more strongly. In particular, according to the external product of the present modification, it is effective against the force applied to the external preparation 1 around the vertical axis 91 (for example, the force applied to the external preparation 1 when the lid 5 is rotated to open and close). Can be reinforced.

The container 2 of the present embodiment has a substantially spherical shape, but is not limited to this, and may have, for example, a columnar shape, a conical shape, a truncated cone shape, a prismatic shape, or a prismatic shape.

Further, the container 2 of the present embodiment is configured so that the lid mounting state can be visually recognized by a plurality of ridge lines 9 continuous from the upper end of the lid 5 to the bottom of the container body 21, but the lid 5 is not limited to this. A decorative portion such as a pattern or a recess may be provided so as to straddle the container body 21 so that the lid-mounted state can be visually recognized.

Further, the external product of the present embodiment was a deodorant product for the axilla, but it may be applied to an application-type cosmetic such as a solid lip balm for the lips, and the external preparation in the present invention is used. There is no particular limitation.
