A projection is provided on the shaft of the brush, a guide corresponding to the projection is provided on the sheath, and the projection is fitted into the guide, and a lid is provided. The cosmetic container with a brush is characterized in that the protrusion moves up and down in the guide portion by being pushed by a rib in accordance with the opening and closing of the brush, and the brush tip protrudes and retracts from the sheath portion.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments of the present invention.
[0009]
FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the appearance of one embodiment of a cosmetic container with a brush of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cosmetic container body with a brush, and FIG. It is. In the figure, 1 is a cosmetic container with a brush, 2 is a cosmetic container body, 3 is a lid, 4 is a rib, 5 is a sheath, 6 is a brush, 7 is a protrusion, 8 is a guide, and 9 is a liquid outlet. Are respectively shown.
[0010]
The container main body 2 of the cosmetic container with a brush 1 of the present invention has an opening at an upper part thereof and is externally threaded. Further, a rib 4 is provided in this opening. The rib 4 is an annular projection protruding inside the opening, and also serves as an ironing portion for dropping the cosmetics attached to the sheath 5 and the extra cosmetics on the brush tip 6a.
[0011]
Various materials can be used as the material of the container body, and for example, plastic, metal, glass, and the like can be used. Further, a transparent or translucent material such as plastic or glass can be used so that the color and the remaining amount of the cosmetic can be determined. On the other hand, as the material of the ribs 4, it is necessary to remove excess cosmetics and to push the protrusions 7 as described later and to allow the protrusions 7 to pass therethrough. For example, it is preferable to use plastic, elastomer, rubber, or the like having a certain degree of strong elasticity.
[0012]
On the other hand, the lid 3 is provided with a sheath 5 in which a brush 6 is stored at the lower part. The sheath portion 5 is provided with two guide portions 8 which are cut out at a fixed length in the axial direction of the sheath portion 5 at positions at an angle of 180 degrees. The brush 6 housed in the sheath 5 is composed of a brush tip 6a and a shaft 6b, and two protrusions 7 are provided on the shaft 6b at an angle of 180 degrees. These projections 7 are fitted into the two guides 8 respectively, and move up and down in the guides 8. Further, the sheath portion 5 is provided with a liquid outlet 9 through which cosmetics contained therein can flow freely.
[0013]
Next, a mechanism in which the brush 6 in the above-described cosmetic container 1 with a brush according to the present invention protrudes and retracts from the sheath 5 with the opening and closing of the lid 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
[0014]
FIG. 4A shows a state in which the brush tip 6a of the brush 6 is protruding from the sheath portion 5, and FIG. 4B shows a relationship between the rib 4 and the protrusion 7 for achieving this state. is there. When the lid is rotated from the state where the sheath portion 5 (and the brush 6) is stored in the cosmetic container main body 2, the lid 3 starts to be opened by a screwing action of a screw cut inside the lid. Simultaneously with the opening of the lid, the sheath 5 attached thereto starts to move upward. When the sheath 5 moves upward, the projection 7 which is fitted into the guide 8 and projects from the sheath 5 hits the rib 4 provided at the opening of the container body 2 and moves downward in the guide 8. I do.
[0015]
When the protrusion 7 reaches the lower end of the guide portion 8, it does not move any further. However, since the rib 4 has elasticity, the sheath 5 can be pulled out from the opening despite the presence of the protrusion 7. When the sheath 5 is pulled out from the opening of the container body 2, the brush tip 6a is in a state of coming out of the sheath 5, and can be used for makeup.
[0016]
On the other hand, FIG. 5A shows a state in which the brush tip 6a of the brush 6 is housed in the sheath 5, and FIG. 5B shows the relationship between the rib 4 and the protrusion 7 for achieving this state. It is shown. The brush 6 used for makeup is put into the opening of the container body 2 with the brush tip 6a protruding. When the sheath 5 is properly inserted, the protrusion 7 protruding from the guide 8 hits the rib 4. . At first, the protrusion 7 is pushed by the rib 4 and moves to the upper end of the guide portion 8, the brush 6 to which the protrusion is attached moves upward, and the brush tip 6 a enters the sheath 5. For this reason, the brush tip 6a hardly receives resistance from the cosmetic which tries to bend it. The protrusion 7 that has moved to the upper end of the guide portion 8 stops there, but when the cover 7 is rotated in the closing direction, the protrusion 7 receives a downward force due to the screwing action of the screw, and the rib 4 has elasticity. Therefore, the sheath 5 can further enter the container body 2. Then, the lid 3 is finally closed.
[0017]
With the mechanism as described above, the brush tip 6a protrudes and retracts from the sheath portion 5 provided on the lid 3. By designing the guide portion 8 and the projection portion 7 to have appropriate friction, the brush tip in use is designed. Since the pressure applied to 6a is mainly in the horizontal direction, it is not stored in the sheath 5 even when used for makeup.
[0018]
Further, in the present embodiment, two projections 7 are provided, but one or three or more projections 7 may be provided. However, in order to smoothly move the brush 6 in the sheath 5 up and down, it is preferable to provide two or more protrusions. Further, the length (x in FIG. 4) of the guide portion 8 is set to the length of the brush tip 6a (x in FIG. 4) so that the brush tip 6a is completely accommodated in the sheath portion 5 when the cosmetic container with brush 1 is closed. It is preferably longer or equal to y).
[0019]
If the sheath 5 is provided with the liquid outlet 9 through which the cosmetic contained therein can flow out freely, the resistance of the cosmetic can be reduced, and the brush 6 can be smoothly moved out of the sheath 5. Become.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
Since the brush-equipped cosmetic container of the present invention described above has a brush tip only when used, when storing the brush tip in the cosmetic container after use, the brush point of the brush is bent by the cosmetic in the container. It does not get twisted or twisted, and the tip of the hair fits in the sheath portion, so that it can be easily stored.
[0021]
Therefore, cosmetics to be applied with a brush, for example, liquid eyeliner, lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish, etc., can be used as containers for liquid cosmetics and powdery cosmetics, and especially as containers for highly viscous liquid cosmetics. It can be used advantageously.
