BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The details of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a cosmetic container according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic explanatory view showing a housed state of a permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body.

In FIG. 1, the cosmetic container is a container body 1.
It is mainly composed of a bottom lid 2 fixed to the open bottom of the container body 1, a nozzle portion 3 as a cosmetic discharge means, and a lid 4.

Non-solid cosmetics such as liquids and gels such as cosmetics and emulsions are accommodated in the main body 1 and the upper nozzle portion 3
It can be used by being discharged from the discharge port 31 by operating the pump. When not in use, by covering the lid 4 with a cover, it is not only hygienic, but also erroneous operation of the pump can be prevented. Note that the lid 4 is shown as transparent in FIG.

In this embodiment, the so-called airless container is used as the container body 1.

The airless container is a container configured to prevent air from entering the inside of the container body 1 by providing the moving middle bottom portion 11 which varies the contained amount according to the used amount of the stored cosmetic product.

In the case of a normal container that is not an airless container,
In order to use the cosmetic product, which is the content, each time the cosmetic product is taken out of the container, an amount of air corresponding to the usage amount of air enters the container. This inhalation of air is inevitably accompanied by contamination of bacteria in the air, and inhalation of moisture and oxygen in the air, which means that the cosmetics contained in the container are decomposed, oxidized, and volatilized by volatile substances. It has various adverse effects such as changes in its composition, changes in water content, changes in scent and quality and freshness associated with the changes. Furthermore, when the stored cosmetic product has viscosity, it is difficult to reliably remove the viscous cosmetic product from the container to the end, and the cosmetic product cannot be used up, resulting in waste.

The airless container is a container configured to solve the problem of such an ordinary container, and in the present invention, the container body 1 has an amount corresponding to the usage amount of the stored cosmetic product. It is preferable that the airless container has a moving middle bottom portion 11 that is a middle bottom portion that moves so as to reduce the storage amount of the container body 1 (see FIG. 1). As this airless container, a known container can be used without any special limitation except for the thickness of the moving bottom portion 11 which will be described later. A typical example is as follows.

That is, in FIG. 1, (1) the moving middle bottom portion 11 indicated by the solid line at the bottom of the container body 1 is in an unused state,
That is, the position when the cosmetics are full, (2) the moving middle bottom portion 11 indicated by the alternate long and short dash line at the substantially central portion of the container body 1 is in a state where the cosmetics are used for about half, that is, the container body 1 has The position when it is approximately half, (3) the moving middle bottom portion 11 indicated by the chain double-dashed line near the uppermost portion of the container body 1 is in a state where the cosmetics are used up, that is, the storage amount of the container body 1 becomes substantially zero. The time position is shown respectively.

The moving bottom part 11 has a structure that moves while maintaining a liquid-tight state inside the container body 1, and has a double liquid-tight structure at two positions, an upper edge part 12 and a lower edge part 13. Has become.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the central portion of the moving bottom portion 11 has a recess 14 corresponding to the shape of the liquid absorbing portion 32 of the nozzle portion 3, and as shown in (3) of FIG. When the liquid absorbing part 32 is housed in the recess 14 when the state becomes
You can use up all the cosmetics.

The container body 1 is made of a material known as a material of this type of cosmetic container, and it is preferable that the container body 1 is made of a synthetic resin in order to solve the problems of the present invention. When the container body 1 is an airless container as in the present embodiment, in order to exert the function of not sucking the same amount of air as the amount of cosmetics used into the container, the container body 1 is made of a rigid material that does not deform due to changes in internal pressure.

In the present invention, when the container body 1 is an airless container, the thickness of the moving bottom part 11 is 5 over the entire area.
It is preferable that the thickness is less than or equal to mm so that the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5, which will be described later, can be effectively exerted on cosmetics without impeding the far infrared effect.

The bottom lid 2 fixed to the bottom of the container body 1 is
As shown in FIG. 2, the upper side is opened, and the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5 is sealed inside.
The bottom cover 2 may be fixedly attached or may be detachable by fitting or screwing.

The permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5
2 is preferably in the shape of a donut as shown in FIG. 2, and is inserted into and fixed to a protrusion 21 provided on the bottom cover 2.
The permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5 is preferably fixed to the bottom cover 2 and / or the protrusion 21, but may be detachably inserted.

Permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5
Is a mixture of permanent electric dipole crystal mineral, molded and fired. The permanent electric dipole crystal mineral emits negative ions and the ceramic emits far infrared rays.

As the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral, known minerals can be used as long as they can release negative ions, for example,
Natural stones such as tourmaline, taumarin, solar stone, granite, sulfur stone, ruby, or artificial synthetic minerals having a permanent electric dipole moment, or a mixed resin thereof can be used. Of these, tourmaline and taumarin are preferable, and taumarin is particularly preferable because of the large amount of negative ion release.

Taumarin is a natural ore (a type of quartz schist) that produces a slight amount of static electricity, and has a large amount of negative ions (5 times that of Bincho charcoal and 5 times that of black tourmaline) due to its excellent electrostatic characteristics and advanced weathering. 3 times). In addition to the reaction of negative ions around it, taumarin also reacts to external pressure and heat such as current collection and piezoelectricity, generating weak static electricity. Further, by making it ceramic, far infrared rays (growing light ray region) are also generated.

By the way, synthetic resin, which is generally used as a cosmetic container, is charged with positive ions, and the positive ions bias the stable electrons of the cosmetic contained in the container, thereby weakening the performance of the cosmetic. It has the property.

Therefore, the performance of cosmetics can be maintained by neutralizing the positive ions in the container with the negative ions emitted by the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral. still,
In the conventional technology of powdering tourmaline and kneading it into the resin body, negative ions are weak when kneading into the resin body, and it is insufficient to neutralize the positive ions charged in the resin container. This is because the powder is subdivided into smaller pieces and the effect is diminished by dividing it into units, and when kneading into the resin, only a few percent of the total amount of the tourmaline is used due to molding problems. Because you cannot do it.

Since the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5 formed by mixing, shaping, and firing the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral is used, in the present invention, the synthesis for forming the container body 1 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. By mixing a sufficient amount of permanent electric dipole crystalline minerals necessary to neutralize the positive ions of the resin, the permanent electric dipole crystalline minerals emit a sufficient amount of negative ions as described above, and the ceramics emit far infrared rays. Radiates.

Explaining far infrared rays, far infrared rays are generally light having a wavelength of 3 to 1000 μm.
Above all, light having a wavelength of 4 to 14 μm is called a growing light beam. Growing rays are known to play an important role and action in activating cells of animals and plants and synthesizing proteins. Further, it is also known that the water population of water easily absorbs the growing light, and the water molecules receive a weak energy to be in an oscillating state, so that the molecular population becomes small. Therefore, liquid cosmetics such as lotion also have a small molecular population, and the performance of the cosmetics can be exhibited more finely.

Of the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramics, the far-infrared region radiated by taumarin ceramic, which is preferable, includes the above-mentioned growing light ray region, and the far-infrared ray emitted by the taumarin ceramic (including the growing light ray region). , Which delays the deterioration and oxidation rate of cosmetics, and exerts the effect of maintaining the quality and freshness of cosmetics.

Cosmetics irradiated with far infrared rays are activated, and the far infrared rays act to maintain the quality and freshness of the cosmetics. Further, according to the present invention, since the negative ions are also scratched by the radiation of the far infrared rays and spread to every corner of the cosmetics in the container body 1 to activate the entire cosmetics without leakage, the effects of the negative ion radiation and the far infrared radiation are independent. Not only the effect of being summed up, but also exerting a synergistic effect.

To make the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral into a ceramic, the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral should have an average particle size of 0.3 to 1
00.0 μm powder, necessary and sufficient amount (eg 5
˜70% by weight) and the clay for a ceramic body (average particle size: 1 to 200 μm, eg 30 to 95% by weight) are mixed. As the clay, kibushi clay, frog eye clay, and kaolin are preferable.

After mixing the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral powder and the viscosity, the mixture is molded into a desired shape (a donut shape in this embodiment), followed by a drying step and firing. The firing temperature is preferably in the range of 700 to 1300 ° C. In addition, the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5 of the present invention is 0.1 to 10
It may contain aluminum powder by weight, metal powder such as stainless steel, and other additives.

Although the embodiments of the cosmetic container according to the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments,
For example, the following other modes can be adopted.

In the present embodiment, the container main body 1 has a moving middle bottom portion 11 in which the storage amount can be varied according to the usage amount of the stored cosmetic product.
Although the embodiment which is an airless container configured so that air does not enter by providing is described, the present invention is not limited to the airless container, and is a cosmetic container (bottle type, spray type, Tube type). In this case, the bottom of the container body is a closed space, and its thickness may be 5 mm or less.

In this embodiment, the mode in which the container body 1 is an airless container has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a normal bottle-shaped container or a tube-shaped container. Good. When the container body 1 is a mode other than the airless container, the nozzle portion 3 which is a discharge means of cosmetics is not limited to the pump type of the present embodiment, and may be a discharge port formed of a general through hole, or a roller or ball type. Alternatively, a sponge-type coating type discharge part may be used. In these cases as well, the bottom of the container body is a closed space, but the thickness may be 5 mm or less.

Further, in this embodiment, the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5 is formed in a donut shape as shown in FIG. 2, but the present invention has other shapes such as a disk shape, a plate shape, It may have another shape such as a columnar shape.
In the case where the doughnut-like shape of this embodiment does not have a hollow hole portion, needless to say, the protrusion 21 of the bottom lid 2 is not necessary, and the permanent electric dipole crystal mineral ceramic body 5 is formed in the bottom lid 2. A structure may be adopted in which the bottom cover 2 is internally sealed by being directly or indirectly attached to the bottom surface or the like via another member.
