Detailed Description

According to the research of the present inventors, the plastic massage bottle of patent document 1 has room for improvement in the convenience and efficiency of massage.

The present invention relates to a massage container having a structure capable of performing a massage more easily and efficiently.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and overlapping description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[ embodiment 1 ]

First, a massage container 100 according to embodiment 1 will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

The massage container 100 according to the present embodiment includes: a resin container body 10 having a mouth-and-neck portion 11 (fig. 3) and storing a liquid 50 (fig. 3); and a cap 30 attached to the mouth-and-neck portion 11 of the container body 10.

The massage container 100 includes: a small diameter portion 12 which is a portion of the container body 10 adjacent to the mouth-and-neck portion 11 and extends in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11; and a large diameter portion 13 which is formed by a portion of the container body 10 on the side opposite to the mouth-and-neck portion 11 side and has a diameter larger than that of the small diameter portion 12.

The container body 10 is formed in a flat shape having a larger width dimension in the 2 nd direction orthogonal to both the axial direction and the 1 st direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 than the width dimension in the 1 st direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 at least in the large diameter portion 13. That is, the depth direction (the left-right direction in fig. 2) in fig. 1 and 3 is the 1 st direction, and the left-right direction (the depth direction in fig. 2) in fig. 1 and 3 is the 2 nd direction.

At least one of a pair of side portions (1

st side portion

16, 2 nd side portion 17) of the large diameter portion 13 facing each other in the 2 nd direction is formed with a projection portion 20 having a projection height of 1mm to 30 mm.

Here, the protruding height of the protrusion 20 may be defined as follows.

Fig. 5 is a cross section of the container body 10 taken through the apex 24 of the protrusion 20 and along a plane parallel to the 2 nd direction. In fig. 5, the raised position 23 is a boundary between the projection 20 and the other portion of the outer surface of the large diameter portion 13. The rising position 23 is an inflection point existing at the boundary between the protrusion 20 and the other portion of the outer surface of the large diameter portion 13. The straight line L1 is a straight line connecting 2 raised positions 23 in the cross section shown in fig. 5 for one projection 20. The projection height T of the projection 20 is a distance from the straight line L1 to the apex 24.

According to the massage container 100 having such a configuration, the user can easily and efficiently perform a massage by various massage methods such as a light rubbing method, a strong rubbing method, a beating method (tapping method), and a pressing method by holding the small diameter portion 12 or the like.

That is, by massaging so that the protrusions 20 formed on at least one of the pair of side portions (the 1 st side portion 16 or the 2 nd side portion 17), which are narrow portions in the large diameter portion 13, hit the skin, the force applied to the skin can be concentrated in a narrow range.

Further, the force can be efficiently transmitted from the protrusion 20 formed at least in one of the pair of side portions (the 1 st side portion 16 or the 2 nd side portion 17) which is the portion of the large diameter portion 13 that protrudes most laterally, to the skin for massage.

Here, the light rubbing is light rubbing or light stroking. In addition, a strong rub is a strong rub or a strong stroking. In addition, tapping (tapping) is lightly tapping or lightly poking. The compression is pressing.

The following description is made in detail.

In the present embodiment, the massage container 100 is a self-standing container which can stand on its own with the bottom portion 18 described below placed on a horizontal placement surface. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the positional relationship (the vertical relationship and the like) of the respective components of the massage container 100 will be described without particularly describing the positional relationship of the massage container 100 in a self-standing state.

The front side (left side in fig. 2) of the paper surface in fig. 1 and 3 is referred to as the front side, the back side (right side in fig. 2) of the paper surface in fig. 1 and 3 is referred to as the back side, and the depth direction (left-right direction in fig. 2) of the paper surface in fig. 1 and 3 is referred to as the front-back direction. The front-rear direction is the 1 st direction described above. In addition, the left-right direction in fig. 1 and 3 may be referred to as the lateral width direction. The left-right direction is the above-mentioned 2 nd direction.

The massage container 100 is composed of, for example, a container body 10 and a lid 30. The massage container 100 may further include a shrink film (shrink label) (not shown) provided on the outer periphery of the container body 10. The massage container 100 may be provided with a label attached to the container body 10.

The container body 10 is configured to include a mouth-and-neck portion 11, a small-diameter portion 12, and a large-diameter portion 13. The mouth-and-neck portion 11, the small diameter portion 12, and the large diameter portion 13 are each hollow. The small diameter portion 12 is formed by being connected to the lower side of the mouth-and-neck portion 11, and the internal space of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 and the internal space of the small diameter portion 12 communicate with each other. The large diameter portion 13 is formed by being connected to the lower side of the small diameter portion 12, and the internal space of the small diameter portion 12 and the internal space of the large diameter portion 13 communicate with each other.

The mouth-and-neck portion 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape. A thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 11, and the mouth-and-neck portion 11 is formed in a male thread shape. An opening 11a is formed at the upper end of the mouth-and-neck portion 11.

A bottom 18 is formed at the lower end of the large diameter portion 13, and the lower end of the large diameter portion 13 is closed by the bottom 18.

The large diameter portion 13 includes a 1 st main surface portion 14, a 2 nd main surface portion 15 (fig. 2, 4(a), 4(b)) disposed to face the 1 st main surface portion 14, a 1 st side portion 16 connecting one side ends (left ends) of the 1 st main surface portion 14 and the 2 nd main surface portion 15 to each other, and a 2 nd side portion 17 connecting the other side ends (right ends) of the 1 st main surface portion 14 and the 2 nd main surface portion 15 to each other.

Further, the relative distance between the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17 is wider than the relative distance between the 1 st main surface portion 14 and the 2 nd main surface portion 15. That is, the width dimension of the large diameter portion 13 in the 2 nd direction (left-right direction) is larger than the width dimension in the 1 st direction (front-rear direction).

The large-diameter portion 13 is formed with a protrusion 20. The large diameter portion 13 is constituted by a portion other than the projection portion 20 (hereinafter referred to as a large diameter base portion) of the large diameter portion 13 and the projection portion 20.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the small-diameter portion 12 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, for example. In the case of the present embodiment, in detail, the size of the small diameter portion 12 in the front-rear direction is set to be slightly larger than the size of the small diameter portion 12 in the lateral width direction.

For example, the portion of the container body 10 on the side of the mouth-and-neck portion 11, the portion having a circumferential length (the length of the outer circumferential surface of the container body 10 around the axis of the mouth-and-neck portion 11) of 160mm or less, is defined as the small-diameter portion 12.

As shown in fig. 1, the size of the large diameter base portion in the lateral width direction gradually increases from the boundary portion between the large diameter portion 13 and the small diameter portion 12 downward toward the left and right sides.

Further, the dimension of the large diameter base portion in the lateral width direction is gradually reduced downward at the lower portion of the large diameter portion 13.

In the case of the present embodiment, the dimension in the lateral width direction of the lower end of the large diameter portion 13 is larger than the maximum dimension of the small diameter portion 12 in the lateral width direction.

The maximum dimension of the large diameter portion 13 in the lateral width direction (the entire large diameter portion 13 including the protrusion portion 20) is preferably 1.5 times or more, and more preferably 2 times or more the maximum dimension of the small diameter portion 12 in the lateral width direction.

As shown in fig. 2, the front-rear direction dimension of the large diameter portion 13 is slightly enlarged downward. However, the maximum size of the large diameter portion 13 in the front-rear direction is set to be slightly larger than the maximum size of the small diameter portion 12 in the front-rear direction. For example, the maximum size of the large diameter portion 13 in the front-rear direction is set to 1.2 times or less the maximum size of the small diameter portion 12 in the front-rear direction.

In the present embodiment, the large diameter portion 13 having a larger diameter than the small diameter portion 12 means that the large diameter portion 13 has a larger size than the small diameter portion 12 in the lateral width direction.

The left and right contours of the container body 10 when the container body 10 is viewed from the front (in this case, the contours of the portions of the container body 10 other than the protrusions 20) are curves that are continuous and smooth across the small diameter portion 12 and the large diameter portion 13.

In addition, the front and rear contours of the container body 10 when the container body 10 is viewed in side view are curves that are continuous and smooth over the small diameter portion 12 and the large diameter portion 13.

A ridge 19 extending in the circumferential direction of the small diameter portion 12 is formed on the small diameter portion 12.

The projection 19 is disposed at the upper end of the small diameter portion 12, for example. In the present embodiment, the ridge 19 surrounds the small diameter portion 12 by 360 degrees. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the ridge 19 may be formed in a partial region in the circumferential direction of the small-diameter portion 12. Further, a plurality of ridges 19 may be intermittently formed in the circumferential direction of the small diameter portion 12.

The small diameter portion 12 is formed with the ridge 19, and the ridge 19 serves as an anti-slip function. Therefore, even if the liquid 50 such as gel adheres to the hand holding the protrusion 19, the small diameter portion 12 can be stably held by the hand.

The container body 10 is formed, for example, in a left-right symmetrical manner and a front-rear symmetrical manner except for a portion of the thread formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 11.

However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the container body 10 may be asymmetrical to the left and right, or asymmetrical to the front and back, except for the portion of the thread formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth-and-neck portion 11. For example, in fig. 3, the positions of the plurality of protrusions 20 provided on the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17 may be asymmetric in the left-right direction. That is, in the case where the protrusions 20 having the same shape and size are provided on the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17, the arrangement of the protrusions 20 on the 1 st side portion 16 and the arrangement of the protrusions 20 on the 2 nd side portion 17 may be different from each other, and the number of the protrusions 20 arranged on the 1 st side portion 16 and the number of the protrusions 20 arranged on the 2 nd side portion 17 may be different from each other.

In order to obtain a sufficient massage effect by the protrusions 20, the protrusion height of the protrusions 20 is preferably 3mm or more. In order to appropriately suppress the massage intensity by the protrusions 20, the protrusion height of the protrusions 20 is preferably 30mm or less.

The top of the protrusion 20 is preferably a convex curved surface. That is, the tip of the projection 20 is preferably not sharp but curved. In this way, the feeling of the skin when massaged by the protrusions 20 can be made soft.

Examples of the shape of the top of the protrusion 20 include a three-dimensional curved surface such as a hemispherical shape, and a two-dimensional curved surface such as a semi-cylindrical shape.

In the case of the present embodiment, the protrusion 20 is a shape obtained by cutting a ball at a height smaller than a radius.

The outer diameter of the protrusion 20 when the protrusion 20 is viewed in the protruding direction of the protrusion 20 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1mm or more and 50mm or less, preferably 3mm or more and 30mm or less, and more preferably 5mm or more.

The protrusion 20 is formed on at least one of the 1 st side portion 16 or the 2 nd side portion 17, and is not formed on, for example, the 1 st main surface portion 14 and the 2 nd main surface portion 15. The protrusion 20 is not formed on the small diameter portion 12, for example.

The number of the protrusions 20 provided in the massage container 100 may be 1, but is preferably 2 or more.

When the massage container 100 includes a plurality of protrusions 20, the protrusions 20 are preferably arranged at a distance from each other (in a dot-like arrangement).

When a plurality of protrusions 20 are arranged on one side portion (the 1 st side portion 16 or the 2 nd side portion 17) and the protrusions 20 are spaced apart from each other, the massage container 100 is moved relative to the skin in the arrangement direction of the protrusions 20 in a state where the protrusions 20 are in contact with the skin, whereby the skin can be massaged while intermittently applying vibration thereto.

The distance between the apexes of the adjacent protrusions 20 is preferably 10mm or more, and more preferably 15mm or more. In this way, when the massage container 100 is moved in the arrangement direction of the protrusions 20 and the protrusions 20 sequentially hit the massage parts, the respective protrusions 20 can be felt. The distance between the apexes of the adjacent protrusions 20 is preferably 50mm or less, and more preferably 30mm or less.

The interval between the adjacent protrusions 20 is preferably 1mm or more, and more preferably 2mm or more. The interval between the adjacent protrusions 20 is preferably 50mm or less, and more preferably 30mm or less.

In the case of the present embodiment, 2 or more protrusions 20 are formed on one side portion of the large diameter portion 13.

Therefore, when one side portion of the large diameter portion 13 is pressed against the skin to perform massage, the plurality of projecting portions 20 can perform massage in sequence or at a time, thereby further improving the massage effect.

In the present embodiment, the protrusion 20 is formed on each of the pair of side portions (each of the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17) of the large diameter portion 13.

Therefore, when the massage container 100 is changed from one hand (for example, the right hand) to the other hand (for example, the left hand), the protrusions 20 of the 1 st side portion 16 or the protrusions 20 of the 2 nd side portion 17 can be easily massaged by being hit against the skin without rotating the massage container 100 around the axis of the mouth-and-neck portion 11.

In the present embodiment, 3 protrusions 20 are formed on each of the pair of side portions (each of the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17) of the large diameter portion 13.

However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and the protrusion 20 may be formed only in one of the pair of side portions of the large diameter portion 13.

The 2 or more protrusions 20 formed on one side portion of the large diameter portion 13 include a plurality of protrusions 20 arranged at different positions in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11.

The plurality of protrusions 20 protrude radially.

In the case of the present embodiment, 3 projections 20 are disposed at different positions in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 in each of the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17, and the projecting directions of these 3 projections 20 are radial. In fig. 1, the projecting directions (projecting directions D1, D2, and D3) of the 3 projections 20 formed on the 2 nd side portion 17 are indicated by the arrows of the one-dot chain line, and these 3 directions are radial. The same applies to the projecting direction of the projecting portion 20 formed on the 1 st side portion 16.

Therefore, when the user holds the massage container 100 with the hand and performs a massage by a light rubbing method or a strong rubbing method using a natural motion of rotating the region of the arm in front of the elbow with the elbow as a fulcrum, that is, a motion of moving the massage container 100 in an arc shape, the massage can be sequentially performed by the plurality of protrusions 20 disposed on one side portion (the 1 st side portion 16 or the 2 nd side portion 17).

More specifically, in each of the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2

nd side portion

17, 3 protrusions 20 are arranged in an arc along the curved surfaces of the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17.

Therefore, when the user holds the massage container 100 with the hand and massages the massage container 100 by the light rubbing or the strong rubbing in such a manner that the massage container 100 moves in an arc shape, the massage can be sequentially performed with the same strength by the plurality of protrusions 20 arranged in an arc shape on one side portion (the 1 st side portion 16 or the 2 nd side portion 17).

As shown in fig. 3, a recess 21 having a shape corresponding to the protrusion 20 is formed in the inner surface of the container body 10 at a position corresponding to the protrusion 20.

Therefore, when the massage container 100 is moved to perform a massage, the movement of the liquid 50 can be suppressed. This improves the integrity of the overall operation of the massage container 200 containing the liquid including the massage container 100 and the liquid 50, and thus enables a stable and easy massage operation.

In particular, as described above, when the plurality of protrusions 20 protrude radially, the liquid 50 can receive resistance in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the inner surface of the protrusion 20 from the inner surface of the protrusion 20 located on the side of the movement direction of the liquid 50 when the liquid 50 attempts to move, and therefore, the movement of the liquid 50 can be further appropriately suppressed. Therefore, the massage can be performed more easily.

The entire container body 10 is integrally molded by blow molding or the like.

Here, the range of the force (stress at the time of pressing 10 mm) required to press the center portion of the 1 st main surface portion 14 of the container body 10 into the container body 10 at 20 ℃ at a speed of 20 mm/min for 10mm is preferably 10N to 100N, and more preferably 15N to 70N from the viewpoint of facilitating discharge of the content (liquid 50) from the container body 10.

Here, an example of the relationship among the thickness of the protrusion 20 (hereinafter, referred to as the 1 st thickness), the thickness of the portion of the large diameter portion 13 other than the protrusion 20 (hereinafter, referred to as the 2 nd thickness), and the thickness of the small diameter portion 12 (hereinafter, referred to as the 3 rd thickness) will be described.

For example, the 1 st wall thickness is thinner than the 2 nd wall thickness. In this case, the rigidity of the protrusion 20 can be appropriately suppressed, and massage with the protrusion 20 can be performed with appropriate strength.

The 1 st wall thickness may also be thicker than the 2 nd wall thickness. In this case, sufficient rigidity of the protrusion 20 can be obtained, and massage by the protrusion 20 can be performed more intensively.

The 1 st and 2 nd wall thicknesses may also be equal to each other. In this case, the rigidity of the large diameter portion 13 can be made uniform as a whole.

For example, the 2 nd wall thickness is thinner than the 3 rd wall thickness. In this case, while the rigidity of the small-diameter portion 12 held by hand is sufficiently ensured, the rigidity of the large-diameter portion 13 other than the protrusions 20 is appropriately suppressed, and thus the massage by the protrusions 20 can be performed with appropriate strength. Further, good squeezability of the large diameter portion 13 can be achieved, and the liquid 50 can be discharged from the container body 10 with a slight force.

The 2 nd wall thickness may also be thicker than the 3 rd wall thickness. In this case, since the small diameter portion 12 held by a hand can be properly suppressed in rigidity and the small diameter portion 12 can be flexed, the snap fastener can be operated to tap by the protrusion 20. In addition, sufficient rigidity of the portion other than the projection 20 in the large diameter portion 13 can be obtained, and massage by the projection 20 can be performed more intensively.

The 2 nd and 3 rd wall thicknesses may also be equal to each other. In this case, uniform rigidity from the small diameter portion 12 to the large diameter portion 13 can be achieved.

As shown in fig. 3, the lid 30 includes: a mounting portion 31 having a discharge port 32 through which the liquid 50 can be discharged, and mounted to the mouth-and-neck portion 11; a hinge lid 33 openably and closably connected to the mounting portion 31 via a hinge portion 34 (fig. 2 and 4(a)), and closing the discharge port 32 in a closed state.

The mounting portion 31 is formed in a cylindrical shape with one end closed. A screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the mounting portion 31, and the mounting portion 31 is formed in a female screw shape to be screwed with the mouth-and-neck portion 11.

A discharge port 32 is formed at one closed end of the mounting portion 31.

In a state where the hinge lid portion 33 is closed, the discharge port 32 is closed by the hinge lid portion 33. In the state where the hinge lid 33 is opened, the discharge port 32 is opened to the outside, and the liquid 50 in the container body 10 can be discharged through the discharge port 32.

A catching part 35 to which a finger is hooked when the hinge cover part 33 is opened is formed at an end part of the hinge cover part 33 opposite to the hinge part 34 side.

Here, the grip portion 40 that can be gripped by the user when massaging with the massage container 100 includes the small diameter portion 12 and the lid portion 30.

Further, the hinge portion 34 extends in the 2 nd direction in the axial direction. That is, the gripping portion 35 is located at one end portion of the hinge cover portion 33 in the 1 st direction. In the present embodiment, the handle 35 is located at the front end of the hinge cover 33.

Therefore, for example, as shown in fig. 6, in a state where the grip portion 40 (the small diameter portion 12 and the cap portion 30) is gripped by the hand 70 so that the protrusion portion 20 formed on the 2 nd side portion 17 easily touches the skin, the hand 70 can naturally grip a portion of the grip portion 40 that avoids the gripping portion 35.

Thereby, even if the hand 70 is deviated from the grip portion 40 when massaging with the massage container 100, the hinge lid portion 33 can be suppressed from being opened.

Further, even in a state where the grip portion 40 is gripped by the hand 70 so that the projection portion 20 formed on the 1 st side portion 16 is likely to hit the skin in the direction opposite to the direction of fig. 6, the fingertips are less likely to be caught by the hand catching portion 35, and therefore, even if the hand 70 is displaced from the grip portion 40 during the massage using the massage container 100, the hinge lid portion 33 can be suppressed from being opened.

In the present embodiment, the diameter of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 is smaller than the small-diameter portion 12, and the outer diameter of the cap portion 30 is set to be equal to the outer diameter of the small-diameter portion 12.

More specifically, for example, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the diameter of the cap 30 is slightly smaller than the small-diameter portion 12. Thus, for example, as shown in fig. 6, the cover 30 can be firmly held by the ring finger and the little finger which are shorter than the middle finger.

The size of the massage container 100 in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11, that is, the height of the massage container 100 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 90mm to 400mm, and preferably 150mm to 200 mm.

Since the height of the massage container 100 is 150mm or more, the user can easily massage the back by himself/herself using the massage container 100.

The size of the large diameter portion 13 in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 is not particularly limited, and may be 50mm to 200mm, and preferably 70mm to 150 mm.

The size of the grip portion 40 in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 is not particularly limited, and may be 40mm to 200mm, and preferably 60mm to 100 mm.

The size of the large diameter portion 13 in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11 is preferably equal to or larger than the size of the grip portion 40 in the axial direction of the mouth-and-neck portion 11.

The outer diameter of the grip portion 40 is preferably 20mm or more and 50mm or less, and more preferably 25mm or more and 45mm or less, from the viewpoint of easy grasping of the grip portion 40. Typically, the minimum outer diameter of the small-diameter portion 12 is set to about 35mm, and the outer diameter of the small-diameter portion 12 at the formation portion of the ridge 19 is set to about 38 mm.

The circumferential length of the grip portion 40 is preferably 60mm or more and 160mm or less, and more preferably 80mm or more and 140mm or less, from the viewpoint of the easy grip of the grip portion 40. Typically, the minimum circumferential length of the small diameter portion 12 is set to about 110mm, and the circumferential length of the small diameter portion 12 at the formation portion of the ridge 19 is set to about 120 mm.

For example, a portion of the massage container 100, which includes a continuous portion including the small diameter portion 12 and has a circumferential length of 160mm or less, may be used as the grip portion 40.

On the other hand, the portion of the container body 10 on the side opposite to the mouth-and-neck portion 11 with respect to the small diameter portion 12 may be referred to as a large diameter portion 13.

By storing the liquid 50 in the container body 10, the massage container 100 constitutes the massage container 200 containing the liquid together with the liquid 50.

In the case of the present embodiment, the liquid 50 is a massage agent. The massage agent contains a sensate.

As the sensate, for example, a sensate containing at least one of a heat-sensitive agent and a cold-sensitive agent described in japanese patent laid-open nos. 2012 and 153675 is used, and preferably a skin cosmetic containing both the heat-sensitive agent and the cold-sensitive agent and capable of repeatedly imparting a heat sensation and a cold sensation to the skin described in japanese patent laid-open nos. 2012 and 153675 is used.

The viscosity of the massage agent at 25 ℃ before dilution is, for example, 500 mPas to 300000 mPas. When the massage agent is diluted 2 times with water, the viscosity of the massage agent at 25 ℃ decreases to 50 mPas to 15000 mPas.

The viscosity can be measured using a B-type digital viscometer (TVB-10M, manufactured by Toyobo industries Co., Ltd.) at 25 ℃ under conditions of a spindle No.2 at a rotation speed of 60rpm (in the viscosity range of 50 to 500 mPas), a spindle No.3 at a rotation speed of 12rpm (in the viscosity range of 500 to 10000 mPas), a spindle No.4 at a rotation speed of 12rpm (in the viscosity range of 10000 to 50000 mPas), a spindle No.4 at a rotation speed of 1.5rpm (in the viscosity range of 50000 to 300000 mPas), and a holding time of 60 seconds.

As described above, the massage container 200 containing liquid according to the present embodiment includes the massage container 100 according to the present embodiment and the liquid 50 stored in the container body 10. The liquid 50 is a massage agent containing a sensory agent, and has a viscosity of 500 mPas to 300000 mPas at 25 ℃ before dilution, and a viscosity of 50 mPas to 15000 mPas at 25 ℃ after dilution to 2 times with water.

Since the viscosity of the massage agent stored in the container body 10 at 25 ℃ before dilution is high, i.e., the viscosity is 500mPa · s or more, the movement of the liquid 50 in the container body 10 can be suppressed when the massage container 100 is used for massage, the movement integrity of the entire massage container 200 containing the liquid including the massage container 100 and the liquid 50 can be improved, and the massage operation can be stably and easily performed.

The massage using the massage container 200 containing liquid is performed after the liquid 50 discharged from the massage container 200 containing liquid is applied to a portion to be massaged by hand, and further, the liquid 50 is spread on the surface of the skin by the outer surface of the massage container 100. By performing massage with the massage agent, the massage container 100 can smoothly slide with respect to the skin, and thus massage can be performed while suppressing excessive irritation to the skin. Further, since the massage agent contains a sensory agent, it is possible to massage the skin while giving a hot or cold feeling, and the massage effect can be improved.

When the liquid 50 is spread on the surface of the skin by the outer surface of the massage container 100, the liquid 50 is hung on the protrusions 20, and the liquid can be spread evenly and easily.

In addition, by applying the massage agent using the massage container 100, the massage agent can be easily applied to a portion which is difficult to reach by hand, such as the back.

The specific gravity of the massage agent is preferably 1.1 or more, more preferably 1.15 or more, and further preferably 1.18 or more.

Since the weight of the massage container 100 is sufficiently ensured by the specific gravity of the massage agent stored in the container body 10 being 1.1 or more, massage by various methods can be efficiently performed. Particularly, when massaging by tapping or the like, sufficient kinetic energy can be imparted to the skin. In addition, the massage by the light rubbing, the strong rubbing, the pressing, and the like can be easily performed by the weight of the massage container 100.

However, in the present invention, the liquid 50 is not limited to the massage agent. The liquid 50 may be a drinking or edible liquid such as a beverage, an edible oil, or a liquid supplement, a hair care agent such as a skin care agent, a shampoo, a rinse, or a detergent for living.

According to the massage container 100 of embodiment 1, as described above, the protrusion 20 having a protruding height of 1mm or more and 30mm or less is formed on at least one of the pair of side portions (the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17) of the large diameter portion 13 facing each other in the 2 nd direction. Therefore, the user can perform various massages by holding the small diameter portion 12 or the like, thereby concentrating the force applied to the skin in a narrow range and efficiently transmitting the force from the protrusion portion 20 to the skin.

This makes it possible to perform massage more easily and efficiently.

A modified example of the above embodiment will be described below.

< modification 1 >

Fig. 7 shows a modification of the shape of the protrusion 20. The lower end portion of the protrusion 20 shown in fig. 7 rises smoothly. In this case, the rising position 23 is also an inflection point generated at a boundary between the protrusion 20 and a portion other than the protrusion in the outer surface of the large diameter portion 13, and the protrusion height T of the protrusion 20 is a distance from the straight line L1 connecting the 2 rising positions 23 to the apex 24.

[ 2 nd embodiment ]

Next, a massage container 100 according to embodiment 2 will be described with reference to fig. 8 and 9.

The massage container 100 according to the present embodiment is different from the massage container 100 according to embodiment 1 in the following description, and is configured in the same manner as the massage container 100 according to embodiment 1 in other respects.

In the present embodiment, the protrusions are also formed on both of the pair of side portions (the 1 st side portion 16 and the 2 nd side portion 17) of the large diameter portion 13. That is, the projection 20 is formed on the 1 st side portion 16, and the projection 22 is formed on the 2 nd side portion 17.

Further, the shape of the projection 20 formed on one side portion (1 st side portion 16) of the pair of side portions is different from the shape of the projection 22 formed on the other side portion (2 nd side portion 17).

For example, the protrusion 20 has a shape in which a part of the ball is cut out, as in embodiment 1, whereas the protrusion 22 is formed in a rib shape extending in the 1 st direction as shown in fig. 9. Further, a plurality of (e.g., 5) protrusions 22 are formed at different heights (e.g., at equal intervals in the vertical direction) on the 2 nd side portion 17.

By thus forming the protrusions 20 on one side portion (the 1 st side portion 16) and the protrusions 22 on the other side portion (the 2 nd side portion 17) in different shapes, different stimuli can be given to the skin by the massage using the protrusions 20 and the massage using the protrusions 22.

Thus, any one of the protrusion 20 or the protrusion 22 can be selectively touched to the skin to perform massage according to the massage part or the preference of the user.

The protrusion heights of the protrusion 20 and the protrusion 22 are different from each other. That is, the protrusion height of the protrusion 20 is larger than the protrusion height of the protrusion 22. Therefore, the skin can be strongly stimulated in the case of massaging with the protrusions 20 as compared with the case of massaging with the protrusions 22.

[ embodiment 3 ]

Next, a massage container 100 according to embodiment 3 will be described with reference to fig. 10.

The massage container 100 according to the present embodiment is different from the massage container 100 according to embodiment 1 or embodiment 2 described above in the following description, and is configured in the same manner as the massage container 100 according to embodiment 1 or embodiment 2 described above in other respects.

In the case of the present embodiment, the grip portion 40 that can be gripped by the user when massaging with the massage container 100 is also configured to include at least the small diameter portion 12.

Further, an indicator 60 indicating a method of grasping is attached to the outer surface of the grasping portion 40.

As an example, the indicator 60 includes a tab position indicator 61 and a rib 62, which will be described below.

The gripping position display 61 is a pattern attached to the outer surface of the grip portion 40 by printing or the like, and simulates fingers gripping the grip portion 40. Therefore, the user can appropriately hold the holding portion 40 by holding the holding portion 40 so that the fingers overlap the clasper position indication 61.

The ribs 62 are formed at positions extending along the gaps between the adjacent fingers when the grip portion 40 is held. The number of ribs 62 is preferably 1 or more, and more preferably 2 or more. In the present embodiment, 3 ribs 62 are formed on the grip portion 40, and each rib 62 is easily positioned between the index finger and the middle finger, between the middle finger and the ring finger, and between the ring finger and the little finger. Therefore, the user can appropriately hold the holding portion 40 by holding the holding portion 40 so that the ribs 62 fall between the fingers.

The present invention is not limited to this example, and the indicator 60 may include only one of the grip position indicator 61 and the rib 62.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and modifications, and includes various changes, modifications, and the like within a range that can achieve the object of the present invention.
