Description

Devices for storing and applying products

Technical field

The present invention relates to a device for storing and applying products, in particular cosmetic products or cosmetic formulations. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device to be used by a user to apply a product, in particular a cosmetic product or cosmetic formulation, stored in the device to a desired area, in particular to the user's own body or the body of another person.

In this specification, the term "cosmetic formulas" shall be understood to mean formulas as defined in Regulation 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 concerning cosmetic formulas.

Background technique

Eyeliner is roughly divided into powder type, pencil type, liquid type and gel type. Among them, liquid eyeliner is most preferable for reasons such as having good gloss and excellent coloring, enabling the user to freely draw thick or thin lines, and being easy to use on small body parts.

Typically, pen-type applicators are used to apply liquid eyeliner. Such applicators typically include an elongated stem and an applicator tip mounted at its distal end. The elongated stem has a chamber within it, and the chamber is filled with liquid eyeliner (also known as "eyeliner ink"). An appropriate amount of liquid eyeliner in the chamber is supplied to the applicator tip via the liquid eyeliner delivery member.

However, these existing applicators have the disadvantage that they cannot handle liquid eyeliners containing large or glittery particles. This is because large particles or glitter particles cannot be transported by the liquid eyeliner delivery member. Therefore, another type of applicator (device) has been proposed in which the end of the applicator is immersed in liquid eyeliner stored in a container before use, thereby adhering an appropriate amount of liquid eyeliner to the application end of the device.

With such an applicator, the above disadvantages are eliminated. However, such immersion-type applicators have the problem of being inconvenient to store and carry since they require a container in which to store liquid eyeliner. Therefore, there is a need for a compact immersion-type applicator that is as easy to store and carry as existing slender pen-type applicators.

Conventional techniques considered to be relevant to the present invention to some extent are disclosed in, for example, WO2020/043816, WO2019/045224, KR20-0488671, US10278476, US10499720, US4974980 and US5054946. WO2020/043816 discloses an applicator for applying cosmetic products, which includes a clamping cap and an applicator element. WO2019/045224 discloses a container for cosmetic products, which includes: a container body; a spatula; a cap; a brush bar; and an applicator end, which is installed on the brush bar. KR20-0488671 discloses a cosmetic tool including a clamping portion, a stem and an applicator end mounted on the stem. US10278476 discloses a device comprising: a closure part that holds an eyeliner mechanism; and a bottle part. US10499720 discloses an applicator for applying eyeliner, which includes: an application member; a support carrying the application member; and a handle defining a clamping surface. US4974980 discloses an assembly comprising: a reservoir containing a liquid; and an applicator equipped with a flexible, elastically deformable pen. US5054946 discloses an applicator device comprising: an envelope having an open bottom and a top formed with a neck; and a squeeze member. However, these articles related to the prior art do not fully meet the above requirements.

Contents of the invention

In view of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel device for storing and applying products, in particular cosmetic products, which can overcome or at least alleviate the above-mentioned problems associated with prior art articles. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a compact submersible device that can be used with various types of products and is as easy to store and carry as existing slender pen-type applicators.

To achieve these objects, the present invention provides a device for storing and applying a product, comprising: (i) an applicator for applying a product, comprising: a handle having a longitudinal central axis; and an applicator end mounted on the distal end of the handle, and (ii) a container for storing the product, which includes: a longitudinal central axis; a top opening orthogonal to the longitudinal central axis; and a tubular peripheral wall defining the top an opening; and a bottom opening facing the top and closing the lower end of the tubular peripheral wall. The tubular peripheral wall and the bottom together define a space for storing product. The applicator and the container are configured: (i) to be coupled to each other such that the applicator end is located in the space of the container and the applicator seals the container; and (ii) to be separable from each other so that the applicator can be used for use The end of the applicator applies the product. In the present invention, the container further includes a scraper protruding inwardly from the tubular peripheral wall toward the longitudinal central axis of the container. The scraper may be positioned in the space of the container so that when the applicator and container are coupled to each other, the applicator end is at the same level as or below the scraper.

The present invention is based on the new concept of using the cap of a submersible applicator as a container for storing the product to be applied and incorporating a scraper inside the container to remove excess product stuck to the end of the applicator . That is, according to the present invention, the cap of the submersible applicator is repurposed as a container for storing the product to be applied, with a scraper incorporated therein. Therefore, according to the present invention, unlike conventional submersible articles, no separate bulk container is required to store the product to be coated. Therefore, the device according to the invention can be used for various types of products and is as easy to store and carry as existing slender pen-type applicators.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the container may be made of plastic, and the scraper may be integrally formed on the tubular peripheral wall of the container by integral molding. This provides a particularly simple structure for the container.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the scraper may extend circumferentially about the longitudinal central axis of the container such that it forms the side surfaces of a virtual frustum, the diameter of which decreases towards the bottom of the container. This makes it possible to insert the applicator tip into the scraper more smoothly and to more efficiently remove excess product that adheres to the applicator tip or the distal end of the handle.

According to a preferred aspect of the present invention, the container may include: a tubular member forming a tubular peripheral wall; and a plug member forming a bottom, and the plug member may be fitted in the bottom opening of the tubular member so as to close the lower opening. This allows the product to be filled into the container at the final stage, ie after the applicator and container have been coupled. Therefore, there is no need to handle the container filled with the product, and as a result, the manufacturing work can be significantly simplified.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the applicator and container may be configured to be coupled to each other by a snap fit. This makes coupling the applicator and container particularly easy for the user. Of course, instead of a snap fit, for example an interference fit or a threaded connection may be used as a means for coupling the applicator and the container.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the handle may comprise: an elongated body; and an insert mounted on the distal end of the elongated body, and the applicator tip may be fixedly retained by the insert. In this case, the insert may include a base portion embedded within the elongated body; and a nose portion protruding from the elongated body, and the applicator tip may be mounted on the insert so as to be distal to the nose portion Protruding end. Furthermore, in this case, the nose portion of the insert preferably tapers gradually towards the applicator tip.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the applicator and container may be configured such that the insert of the applicator's handle is fully received in the container when the applicator and container are coupled to each other. This is useful for improving the aesthetics of the entire device.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the scraper may be configured such that the distal end of the nose portion of the insert moves through the scraper and is in peripheral contact with the scraper. This also makes it possible to remove excess product adhering to the nasal portion of the insert of the applicator more efficiently.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the handle of the applicator may have a circular cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal center axis of the handle, and the container may also have a circular cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal center axis of the container. Of course, both the applicator handle and the container may have other cross-sections than circular cross-sections, for example, oval cross-sections or polygonal cross-sections. In the case where both the handle of the applicator and the container have circular cross-sections, when the applicator and container are coupled to each other, the outer diameter of the distal end of the elongated body in contact with the container may be equal to the outer diameter of the top open side end of the container. The outer diameter is basically the same. Additionally, the outer diameter of the elongated body of the applicator's handle may gradually decrease toward its proximal end, and the outer diameter of the container may be substantially constant. This makes it possible to achieve a smooth, continuous and polished appearance without steps at the seam between applicator and container.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, at least one annular rib extending circumferentially about the longitudinal central axis of the handle may be formed on the outer surface of the insert of the applicator handle, and on the inner surface of the tubular peripheral wall of the container At least one annular groove is formed extending circumferentially about the longitudinal center axis of the container, and the annular rib of the handle can fit into the annular groove of the container when the applicator and container are coupled to each other. This makes it possible to implement a particularly simple and reliable coupling mechanism between applicator and container. The coupling mechanism between the applicator and the container using a snap fit described above may be achieved by such a rib and groove coupling mechanism.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the applicator tip may be constructed from compacted man-made fibers such as, for example, polyester fibers or compacted natural fibers, such as, for example, cotton fibers.

According to a preferred aspect of the invention, the product to be stored in the container may be a liquid cosmetic product such as, for example, liquid eyeliner (eyeliner ink), liquid eyebrow product, liquid blush and liquid concealer.

Applicator tip 120 is mounted on insert 114 so as to project from the distal end of nasal portion 114b. In this embodiment, applicator 100 and container 200 are configured such that insert 114 of handle 110 of applicator 100 is fully received within container 200 when applicator 100 and container 200 are coupled to each other.

With further reference to FIG. 4 , an annular rib 116 is formed on the outer surface of the insert 114 of the handle 110 and extends circumferentially about the longitudinal center axis X ₁ of the handle 110 . Furthermore, an annular groove 222 extending circumferentially around the longitudinal center axis X ₂ of the container 200 is formed on the inner surface of the tubular peripheral wall 220 of the container 200 . Annular rib 116 and annular groove 222 are formed to complement each other. Thus, when the applicator 100 and container 200 are coupled to each other, the annular rib 116 of the handle 110 fits (snap-fits) into the annular groove 222 of the container 200 . In this embodiment there is only one rib/groove pair, but in another embodiment there could be multiple rib/groove pairs.

In the following, container 200 will be described in more detail. Container 200 includes a tubular member 250 forming a tubular peripheral wall 220 and a plug member 260 forming a bottom 230 . As mentioned above, both the tubular member 250 and the plug member 260 are made of plastic such as polypropylene (PP). The plug member 260 fits in the lower opening 252 of the tubular member 250 so as to close the lower opening 252 . For this purpose, an interference fit or threaded connection can be used. Alternatively, it is possible to use adhesive-gluing to fit the plug member 260 in the lower opening 252 of the tubular member 250 .

As shown in FIG. 2 , the applicator 100 and the container 200 are configured to be coupled to each other such that the applicator tip 120 is located in the space V of the container 200 and the applicator 100 seals the container 200 . In this embodiment, the applicator 100 and the container 200 are configured to be coupled to each other by a snap fit (the mechanism for this will be explained in detail below). Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3 , the applicator 100 and the container 200 are configured to be detachable from each other so that the applicator 100 can be used to apply the cosmetic product P using the applicator tip 120 .

In this embodiment, the stem 110 of the applicator 100 has a circular cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal center axis X ₁ of the stem 110 . Similarly, container 200 has a circular cross-section orthogonal to the longitudinal center axis X ₂ of container 200 . As best seen in FIG. 4 , when applicator 100 and container 200 are coupled to each other, the outer diameter D ₁ of the distal end of elongated body 112 in contact with container 200 is equal to The outer diameter D is the same as ₂ . Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the elongated body 112 of the handle 110 of the applicator 100 tapers toward its proximal end. On the other hand, the outer diameter of container 200 is constant. As a result, a smooth, continuous and elegant appearance without steps at the seam between the applicator 100 and the container 200 is achieved. Of course, the handle 110 and container 200 of the applicator 100 may have any cross-sectional shape as long as they are ergonomic.

Turning to FIGS. 2 and 3 , in the exemplary embodiment, the container 200 further includes a scraper 240 for removing adhesion to the applicator tip 120 or the distal end of the handle 110 (i.e., mounted on the applicator).

In this embodiment, the scraper 240 is integrally formed on the tubular peripheral wall 220 of the container 200 by integral molding. Of course, the scraper 240 may be a separate member from the main body of the container 200, but since this increases the number of parts and the number of manufacturing processes, it is preferable that the scraper 240 is provided integrally with the main body of the container 200.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the scraper 240 is positioned in the space V of the container 200 such that when the applicator 100 and the container 200 are coupled to each other, after the applicator end 120 has passed through the scraper 240 , the applicator 240 is The scraper tip 120 is located below the scraper 240. More specifically, the scraper 240 extends _{circumferentially} about the longitudinal central axis . This configuration makes it possible to insert the applicator tip 120 smoothly into the scraper 240. In this embodiment, scraper 240 is also configured such that when the distal end of nose portion 114b of insert 114 moves through scraper 240, the distal end of nose portion 114b contacts scraper 240 on all sides. As a result, as can be seen from FIG. 6 illustrating the operation of the scraper 240, excess product adhering to the applicator tip 120 or the nose portion 114b of the insert 114 of the handle 110 can be efficiently removed. The angle of the scraper 240 relative to the tubular peripheral wall 220 of the container 200 (ie, the angle θ in FIG. 4 ) is not particularly limited, but in some embodiments, the angle θ is in the range of, for example, 30° to 60°. In another preferred embodiment, the scraper 240 may be positioned in the space V of the container 200 such that the applicator end 120 is at the same level as the scraper 240 when the applicator 100 and the container 200 are coupled to each other.

As described above, in this embodiment, the cap of the immersion type applicator is used or repurposed as a container for storing the cosmetic product to be applied, and the scraper is incorporated inside the container to remove adhesion to the Excess makeup product on the end of the applicator. Therefore, unlike conventional immersion-type articles, the device does not require a separate bulky container to store the cosmetic product to be applied. The device is therefore as easy to store and carry as existing slim pen-type applicators, while being able to be used with various types of makeup products, especially liquid eyeliners that may contain large or glittery particles. In addition to this, as a result of the construction as described above, the device according to this embodiment has a smooth, continuous and elegant appearance without steps at the seam between the applicator and the container.

Although a single-use device has been described with reference to Figures 1 to 6, it is also contemplated that the device may be constructed so that liquid cosmetic formulations (such as liquid eyeliner) can be replenished as needed. In this case, for example, the stopper closing the bottom of the container would need to be configured to be removable from the body of the container. Of course, such embodiments are also included in the scope of the present invention.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been explained above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the gist and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and changes are included in the scope of the present invention.
