- the sheath portion forming an outer periphery of the fiber is in contact with the cosmetic impregnated in the cosmetic carrier and the inner core portion surrounded by the sheath portion is not in contact with the cosmetic. Therefore, at least the core portion can be prevented from being influenced by the cosmetic, and swelling of the entire cosmetic carrier can be suppressed.
- the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure is formed by fusing the fibers having a core-sheath structure at a part of the sheath portion, a gap can be formed between fibers and the impregnating and holding property can be improved.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure comprises the eccentric sheath-core type conjugate fiber having a spiral shape
- the fiber assembly is excellent in elasticity and returnability after shape deformation, and can be used continuously and successfully.
- the cosmetic carrier does not swell due to a liquid cosmetic composition.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure have a thickness of 2.0 dtex to 15 dtex, the cosmetic can be easily impregnated into the cosmetic carrier, and the required capacity can be maintained.
- the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure has an apparent density of 0.03 g/cm 3 to 0.10 g/cm 3 , appropriate elasticity can be given for transferring the cosmetic with a coating member of the cosmetic.
- the cosmetic container in accordance with the present invention houses the cosmetic carrier formed of the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure, the cosmetic carrier is impregnated with the cosmetic, which is convenient for portability and storage, and swelling of the cosmetic carrier due to the impregnated cosmetic is suppressed, which is convenient for continued use.
- a cosmetic carrier 10 according to an embodiment as shown in Fig. 1 is one for impregnating and holding a cosmetic having flowability, and is formed of a fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure.
- a sheath portion forming an outer periphery of the fiber is in contact with a cosmetic impregnated in the cosmetic carrier 10 and an inner core portion surrounded by the sheath portion is not in contact with the cosmetic. Therefore, at least the core portion can be prevented from being influenced by the cosmetic, and swelling of the entire cosmetic carrier 10 can be suppressed.
- This assembly is formed of only fibers having a core-sheath structure.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure are formed of a fiber in which a periphery of the core portion is surrounded by the sheath portion.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure are formed of a thermoplastic resin, and the core portion is formed of a thermoplastic resin having a melting point higher than that of the sheath portion. According to this constitution, even if the fibers having a core-sheath structure are fused at a part of the sheath part at the melting point of the sheath part, the core portion is not fused and the fiber assembly can be produced efficiently by cooling from a low melting point.
- Materials of the core portion are limited to polypropylene, and those of the sheath portion are limited to polybutene-1, both polyolefin resins that show no deterioration over time due to components of the cosmetic.
- the polyolefin-based resin is preferable since swelling does not occur due to a liquid cosmetic composition.
- the core portion consists of polypropylene (having a melting point of 165°C), and the sheath portion consists of polybutene-1 (having a melting point of 115°C to 130°C in accordance to JIS K7121) which a high molecular weight and thus is excellent in bulkiness recovery performance when heat is applied.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure have a thickness of 2.0 dtex to 15 dtex, since the cosmetic can be easily impregnated into the cosmetic carrier 10, and the required capacity can be maintained.
- the thickness of the fibers having a core-sheath structure is still more preferably 2.0 dtex to 10 dtex, and particularly preferably 2.0 dtex to 7.0 dtex.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure may be either actual crimp exhibiting steric crimp, or latent crimp exhibiting steric crimping by heating, and the crimp may be either a wave shape or a spiral shape.
- the crimp may be either a wave shape or a spiral shape.
- a fiber in which the spiral shape and the wave shape are combined is preferable since the fiber assembly is excellent in elasticity and returnability after shape deformation.
- an eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fiber is preferable for steric crimp thereof.
- a cross section of a core portion of the eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fiber may have a different shape other than a circle, such as an elliptical shape, a Y shape, and an X shape.
- a cross section of the eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fiber may also have a different shape other than a circle, such as an elliptical shape, a Y shape, an X shape, a #-shape, a polygon shape and a star shape, or a hollow shape.

- a thermal bond method, a needle punch method, a hydroentangling method, and the like can be mentioned.
- the fibers having a core-sheath structure are fused at a part of the sheath portion to form the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure.
- a gap can be formed between fibers and the impregnating and holding property can be improved.
- the producing method thereof is not limited, and can be carried out by, for example, a hot air conveyor furnace type method, a molding type method, a method using a mesh belt (a method described in Japanese Patent No.
- fusing of the fiber is performed at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the sheath portion and lower than the melting point of the core portion.
- the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure has an apparent density of 0.03 g/cm 3 to 0.10 g/cm 3 (in accordance with JIS K6400-1), since it can give appropriate elasticity for transferring the cosmetic with a coating member of the cosmetic.
- a size of the assembly of the core-sheath structure fibers is not particularly limited, and is determined depending on the ease of use or the size of a container to be housed or the like.
- the cosmetic carrier 10 is carried and kept in a state of being housed in an inner tray of a cosmetic container 30. That is, the cosmetic container 30 has a structure in which the cosmetic carrier 10 is housed in a container body 20.
- the container body 20 includes a housing container forming the container body 20 and a lid body 21 combined with the housing container so as to be openable and closable.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. -
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention. - A
cosmetic carrier 10 according to an embodiment as shown inFig. 1 is one for impregnating and holding a cosmetic having flowability, and is formed of a fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure. In thecosmetic carrier 10, a sheath portion forming an outer periphery of the fiber is in contact with a cosmetic impregnated in thecosmetic carrier 10 and an inner core portion surrounded by the sheath portion is not in contact with the cosmetic. Therefore, at least the core portion can be prevented from being influenced by the cosmetic, and swelling of the entirecosmetic carrier 10 can be suppressed. This assembly is formed of only fibers having a core-sheath structure. - The fibers having a core-sheath structure are formed of a fiber in which a periphery of the core portion is surrounded by the sheath portion. The fibers having a core-sheath structure are formed of a thermoplastic resin, and the core portion is formed of a thermoplastic resin having a melting point higher than that of the sheath portion. According to this constitution, even if the fibers having a core-sheath structure are fused at a part of the sheath part at the melting point of the sheath part, the core portion is not fused and the fiber assembly can be produced efficiently by cooling from a low melting point. Materials of the core portion are limited to polypropylene, and those of the sheath portion are limited to polybutene-1, both polyolefin resins that show no deterioration over time due to components of the cosmetic. In addition, the polyolefin-based resin is preferable since swelling does not occur due to a liquid cosmetic composition.
- Further, among the polyolefin-based resin, according to some embodiments, the core portion consists of polypropylene (having a melting point of 165°C), and the sheath portion consists of polybutene-1 (having a melting point of 115°C to 130°C in accordance to JIS K7121) which a high molecular weight and thus is excellent in bulkiness recovery performance when heat is applied. Further, it is preferable since compression set is small and compatibility with polypropylene as the core portion is good. In addition, it is preferable that the fibers having a core-sheath structure have a thickness of 2.0 dtex to 15 dtex, since the cosmetic can be easily impregnated into the
cosmetic carrier 10, and the required capacity can be maintained. Further, from a viewpoint of impregnating and holding the cosmetic, the thickness of the fibers having a core-sheath structure is still more preferably 2.0 dtex to 10 dtex, and particularly preferably 2.0 dtex to 7.0 dtex. - The fibers having a core-sheath structure may be either actual crimp exhibiting steric crimp, or latent crimp exhibiting steric crimping by heating, and the crimp may be either a wave shape or a spiral shape. Of these, a fiber in which the spiral shape and the wave shape are combined is preferable since the fiber assembly is excellent in elasticity and returnability after shape deformation.
- Further, an eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fiber is preferable for steric crimp thereof. A cross section of a core portion of the eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fiber may have a different shape other than a circle, such as an elliptical shape, a Y shape, and an X shape. A cross section of the eccentric core-sheath type conjugate fiber may also have a different shape other than a circle, such as an elliptical shape, a Y shape, an X shape, a #-shape, a polygon shape and a star shape, or a hollow shape.
- For the above crimped conjugate fiber and the fiber assembly using the same, reference can also be made with Japanese Patent and Japanese Patent Publication,
JP-A-2011-021300 - As the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure, those produced by a known method can be used. For example, a thermal bond method, a needle punch method, a hydroentangling method, and the like can be mentioned. Particularly, it is more preferably that the fibers having a core-sheath structure are fused at a part of the sheath portion to form the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure. In this assembly, a gap can be formed between fibers and the impregnating and holding property can be improved. In addition, the producing method thereof is not limited, and can be carried out by, for example, a hot air conveyor furnace type method, a molding type method, a method using a mesh belt (a method described in
Japanese Patent No. 4195043 - It is more preferable that, from a viewpoint of obtaining the impregnating and holding property of the cosmetic, the fibrous aggregate having a core-sheath structure has an apparent density of 0.03 g/cm3 to 0.10 g/cm3 (in accordance with JIS K6400-1), since it can give appropriate elasticity for transferring the cosmetic with a coating member of the cosmetic. In addition, a size of the assembly of the core-sheath structure fibers is not particularly limited, and is determined depending on the ease of use or the size of a container to be housed or the like.
- As shown in
Fig. 2 , thecosmetic carrier 10 is carried and kept in a state of being housed in an inner tray of acosmetic container 30. That is, thecosmetic container 30 has a structure in which thecosmetic carrier 10 is housed in acontainer body 20. Thecontainer body 20 includes a housing container forming thecontainer body 20 and alid body 21 combined with the housing container so as to be openable and closable. The housing container is provided with a housing recess 22 whose upper surface is open, and the cosmetic inner tray is housed in the housing recess 22. - The
lid body 21 is connected to an upper portion of the housing container by a hinge or the like, or is openable and closable as a screw. The housing recess 22 and the cosmetic inner tray can be covered by covering the housing container with thelid body 21. In this example, thecosmetic carrier 10 is housed in the inner tray, and further a liquid cosmetic is impregnated and held in thecosmetic carrier 10. - In addition, the container body may be one that can house cosmetic tools such as puffs together with the cosmetic carrier. For example, one in which a housing portion of the cosmetic carrier and a housing portion of the cosmetic tools provided side by side in the container body, one in which puffs or the like can be stacked and housed on the cosmetic carrier, or the like can be mentioned.
- The cosmetic to be impregnated in the cosmetic carrier is not particularly limited as long as it is a cosmetic having flowability. A cosmetic containing an ultraviolet absorber is one of the suitable cosmetics. In addition, use of the cosmetic impregnated in the cosmetic carrier is performed by rubbing a surface of the cosmetic carrier with a finger or a cosmetic tool such as a puff, and sticking the cosmetic impregnated and held in the cosmetic carrier to the finger or the cosmetic tool.
- In order to confirm the swelling resistance in the cosmetic carrier of the present invention, the swelling resistance was examined for the following examples and comparative examples.
