Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container with an applicator having a high-viscosity liquid with low fluidity as a content, and the remaining amount of the content is reduced by moving the applicator in a main body. The present invention relates to a container with an applicator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a container for filling a liquid with high viscosity and low fluidity such as cosmetics, a stick-shaped applicator is provided on a cap so that a high-viscosity content can be easily taken out and applied as it is. A container with a so-called applicator is known.

[0003] In the above-mentioned container with an applicator, even if the contents are reduced as the product is used and the liquid level is lowered, the high-viscosity liquid has little fluidity, so that it adheres to the inner surface of the container body and can be removed. Do not migrate. For this reason, there is a disadvantage that the liquid cannot be adhered to the applicator in the region of the container body that the applicator does not reach, and a lot of contents must be discarded while remaining in the container.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a container with an applicator having a high-viscosity, low-fluidity liquid as a content. It is an object of the present invention to reduce the content remaining in a product.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention adopts a method in which a container main body is formed to be elastically deformable, and the movable area of the applicator is enlarged by the elastic deformation of the container main body. Features.

Further, the elastically deformable portion formed on at least a part of the container body is formed of a bellows-like elastic structure or a bendable thin portion.

[0007] Further, the portion formed so as to be elastically deformable,
It is characterized in that it is provided on the trunk wall or shoulder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The present invention makes it possible to elastically deform a part of the container main body, thereby increasing the movable area of the applicator attached to the cap and reducing the area where the applicator does not reach by the elastic deformation of the container main body. Is reduced. For elastic deformation, a bellows-like expansion / contraction structure is formed on a part of the container body, or a bendable thin part is formed on a part of the container body, and a part of the container body is bent or curved and attached to the cap. The movable area of the application part at the tip of the application tool is enlarged. The elastically deformed part is applied to the body wall of the container because the bellows-like elastic structure cannot be applied to the shoulder of the container,
If the thin portion is bendable, it can fulfill its function regardless of whether it is the body wall or the shoulder of the container. Therefore, the thin portion may be provided not only on the body wall of the container but also on the shoulder.

FIG. 1 is an overall view of a container with an applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a bellows-shaped expansion / contraction structure (hereinafter, referred to as a "bellows portion") is formed on a part of a body wall of a container body. Show. The container with an applicator (1) has a mouth (2) opening upward,
A bottomed cylindrical container body (4) having a body wall (3), and a mouth
The applicator extending into the container body (4) through (2)
It comprises a cap (6) provided with (5). A cap mounting screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth (2) of the container (4). In addition, the applicator (5) provided on the cap (6) only needs to extend into the container body from the mouth to the vicinity of the bottom, and is limited to an applicator having a brush attached to the tip of a rod-shaped handle. Instead, a rod-like one such as a dropper may be used.

A bellows (7) is provided on the body wall (3) of the container (4) to allow the container body to be elastically deformed, so that the cap (6) is moved in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. When pressed,
The bellows part is bent in the vertical direction, and the applicator (5) in the container moves to the vicinity of the bottom of the container body, and efficiently removes the contents (8) near the bottom that cannot be attached to the applicator when the bellows is extended. Adhere to.

When the cap (6) is pressed in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 3, the bellows (3) bends so that the applicator (5) draws an arc inside the container so that the lower part of the container is drawn. Contents attached to the inner surface of the lower part of the container that cannot be attached to the applicator when the bellows is extended by moving to the inner surface (8)
Adhere efficiently.

FIG. 4 is an overall view of a container with an applicator according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is provided with a bendable thin portion (hereinafter simply referred to as a "thin portion") at a part of a shoulder portion of a container body. Is shown. The container with the applicator (21) has an opening that opens upward.
(22), a bottomed cylindrical container body (24) having a shoulder (23), and an applicator extending into the container body (24) through the mouth (22).
It comprises a cap (26) provided with (25). Note that a cap mounting screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth (22) of the container (24). Further, the applicator (25) provided on the cap (26) may be any applicator that extends into the container body from the mouth to the vicinity of the bottom, and is not limited to an applicator having a brush attached to the tip of a rod-shaped handle. Instead, a rod-like one such as a dropper may be used.

A thin portion (27) is provided on a shoulder (23) of the container (24). Referring to FIG. 5, the thin portion (27) is formed by forming the inner wall surface of the shoulder portion of the container main body into a concave shape, thereby enabling the container main body to be elastically deformed. for that reason,
Pressing the cap (26) in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 6 causes the thin portion to bend in the interior direction of the container,
The applicator (25) moves to the inner surface of the lower part of the container so as to draw an arc in the container, and the contents (28) attached to the inner surface of the lower part of the container that cannot adhere to the applicator when the container body is upright. Attaches efficiently.

It should be noted that since the thin portion is provided on a part of the body wall of the container main body, it performs the same function as that provided on a part of the shoulder of the container main body. It may be provided in the unit.

[0015]

According to the present invention, there is provided a bottomed cylindrical container body having a mouth and a body wall, and a cap having an applicator extending from the mouth into the container body. In the container with an applicator described above, the container body is formed to be elastically deformable, so that the elastic deformation of the container main body makes the movable area of the applicator inside the container wide, so that the height adhered to the bottom and the inner surface in the container Contents having low viscosity and low fluidity can be efficiently attached to the applicator. In addition, the contents in the container can be effectively taken out, and the remaining contents can be reduced.
