- the lid member 313 is tightly fitted into an annular recess formed at the opening end of the main body 300. Further, the top surface of the lid member 313 abuts, for example, through a packing, the bottom surface of the covering member 320 which is bonded by screwing to the main body 300.
- the cage 310 is supported in a suspended state within the main body 300.
- An opening 313 a is provided in the center of the lid member 313. In the assembled state, the outlet 321 , the opening 313a, and the opening of an inner space S 6 of the core 312 overlap each other.
- the user can discharge the cosmetic formula F including the active ingredient of the natural material M to the outside.
- the cosmetic formula F passes through the space S 5 of the cage 310 in which the natural material M is accommodated and then flows to the outlet 321 through the inner space S 6 of the core 312. This means that the cosmetic formula F is made to actively contact the natural material M before being discharged from the container assembly 30. Therefore, in the container assembly 30, an even better mixed state of the cosmetic formula F and the active ingredient of the natural material M can be realized.
- FIG. 11 schematically shows an alternative embodiment of a kit according to the present invention, which is used for forming a container assembly 40 for a cosmetic formula F (see FIG. 13E).
- FIG. 11 also schematically shows an embodiment of a cartridge according to the present invention.
- the kit denoted by "K" comprises a main body (a container main body) 400 for accommodating the cosmetic formula F, a cartridge (also called an infuser) 410 in which a natural material M is accommodated, and a dispensing (pump) device 420 for dispensing the cosmetic formula F accommodated within the main body 400.
- the main body 400 and the dispensing device 420 are separated for explanation, they remain coupled at the time of, for example, storage, transportation and sale.
- the main body 400 has an opening 401 at a top end thereof.
- the opening 401 is surrounded by a threaded annular wall 402 which has a smaller diameter than that of the reminder of the main body 400.
- the dispensing device 420 is configured to be able to detachably engage with the top end of the main body 400, i.e., the threaded annular wall (also called a neck) 402 of the main body 400.
- the cartridge 410 forming the kit K together with the main body 400 and the dispensing device 420 can be accommodated within the main body 400 through the opening 401 so as to extend within the main body 400.
- the cartridge 410 is configured to be able to detachably engage with the top end of the main body 400, i.e., the threaded annular wall 402 of the main body 400 when the dispensing device 420 does not engage with the top end of the main body 400. In this embodiment, such an engagement is made by screw fastening, but other suitable techniques are also available.
- the cartridge 410 is also configured to allow the cosmetic formula F to flow into and flow out of a space within the cartridge 410 so that the cosmetic formula F can contact the natural material M. Furthermore, the cartridge 410 is configured so as to prevent the natural material M accommodated within the cartridge 410 from exiting to the outside thereof.
- the cartridge 410 comprises an elongated tube (a cage) 411 for accommodating the natural material M, and a cap 412 for closing an opening 413 present at a top end of the tube 411.
- the elongated tube 411 is closed at a bottom end thereof and has a large number of pores 414 in an annular wall 415 forming a major part of the tube 411.
- the diameter of the pores 414 is sufficiently smaller than the average grain diameter (the size) of the natural material M.
- the pores 414 allow the cosmetic formula F to flow into and flow out of the space within the cartridge 410.
- the cap 412 forming the cartridge 410 together with the tube 411 comprises an inner annular wall 416 and an outer annular wall 417.
- the inner annular wall 416 engages with the tube 411, in particular, permanently fits into the opening 413 of the tube 411.
- the outer annular wall 417 can engage with the top end of the main body 400, i.e., the threaded annular wall 402 of the main body 400.
- the kit K is provided in a state where the dispensing device 420 is engaged with the main body 400 filled with the cosmetic formula F. Therefore, at first, the dispensing device 420 is removed from the main body 400, and instead, the cartridge 410 is accommodated within the main body 400 through the opening 401 thereof as shown in FIG 13B. That is, the cartridge 410 is detachably engaged with the top end of the main body 400. As a result, the cartridge 410 extends within the main body 400 and the natural material M accommodated within the cartridge 410 is immersed in the cosmetic formula F. During this immersion, the active ingredients are extracted from the natural material M as shown in FIG 13C.
- the cartridge 410 is removed from the main body 400 and thereafter, the dispensing device 420 is engaged with the main body 400 once again, as shown in FIG. 13D.
- the container assembly 40 filled with the cosmetic formula F containing the active ingredient extracted from the natural material M is obtained.
