  The present invention relates to a patterned container provided with an uneven pattern by laser processing.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, using a laser processing technique, fine characters and concavo-convex patterns are engraved on the surface of glass or the like to make a decorative product. Recently, by laser processing, three-dimensional solid sculpture is decorated on the inside of a transparent material such as crystal or glass to decorate personal items (see Patent Document 1). Alternatively, a glass or resin is made opaque by forming an engraving portion by laser processing inside transparent glass or transparent resin (see Patent Document 2).

  However, as described above, the laser processing technology for engraving the inside of the material is only used in limited fields such as the manufacture of decorative products and frosted glass, and its application in various technical fields is strongly desired. It is rare.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a patterned container having a concavo-convex pattern formed by laser processing on the outer side of a concave portion for filling contents, and exhibiting a beautiful appearance. And

  To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a container body provided with a recess for filling translucent contents, and a lid that covers the recess, and at least a part of the recess includes: The first gist is a patterned container in which a light-transmitting portion made of a transparent material or a translucent material is formed, and an uneven pattern is given to the outer surface of the light-transmitting portion by laser processing.

  In addition, the present invention has, in particular, a patterned container to which the uneven pattern is given by carbon dioxide laser processing as a second gist, and among them, in particular, the container is a compact container, The patterned container according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the concave portion is filled with a transparent or translucent gel cosmetic.

  That is, in the patterned container of the present invention, a light transmitting portion is formed in at least a part of the concave portion for filling the light transmitting content, and a concave and convex pattern is given to the outer surface by laser processing. ing. Therefore, even when the concave portion is filled with the light-transmitting content, the light-transmitting content and the light-transmitting portion of the container can be seen through, and this is very interesting. It is rich. And since the uneven | corrugated pattern is provided in the recessed part outer surface of the container, when a finger is applied to this uneven | corrugated pattern part, there exists an effect that a finger is hard to slip at the time of opening and closing of a container, and use, and it is easy to handle.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the best mode for carrying out the patterned container of the present invention. This container is a compact container for containing lip gloss as cosmetics, and a container body 1 made of transparent acrylic resin and a lid body 2 made of acrylic resin colored in red are freely rotatable by a hinge structure 3. It is connected to. Reference numeral 4 denotes a mirror.

  The container body 1 is provided with four recesses 5 on the front, rear, left and right sides so that four kinds of translucent gel-like lip glosses having different colors can be filled. And the fine uneven | corrugated pattern 6 shaped like a star is given to the part used as the outer surface of each recessed part 5 of the container main body 1 back surface by laser processing. The concavo-convex pattern 6 is irradiated with laser light as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 2 and sequentially moved to a position for forming the concavo-convex pattern 6 while aligning the laser light to melt and vaporize the resin in that portion. ,Obtainable.

  According to the patterned container, since the lip gloss is translucent and translucent even after filling the recess 5 with the lip gloss, through the filled lip gloss, The concavo-convex pattern 6 given to the outer surface can be seen. Therefore, every time the customer opens and uses this container, the customer can see the uneven pattern 6, which is interesting. And since the uneven | corrugated pattern 6 is provided in the back surface of the container main body 1, when a finger | toe is applied to the provision part of this uneven | corrugated pattern 6, a finger will be hard to slip at the time of opening and closing of a container, and there exists an effect that it is easy to handle.

  In the above example, a star-shaped shape is given as the concavo-convex pattern 6, but the pattern shape may be any shape. For example, it may be a character, a symbol, or the like, or may be a strip or a continuous pattern extending in all directions. However, the concavo-convex pattern 6 must be formed on the outer surface of the concave portion 5 without fail. That is, the concave-convex pattern 6 formed on the outer surface of the concave portion 5 can be seen through the concave portion 5 of the container main body 1 made of a transparent acrylic resin and the translucent lip gloss. By the way, when the concave / convex pattern 6 is formed on the inner surface of the concave portion 5 and the transparent or translucent content is filled, the content enters the concave portion of the concave / convex pattern 6 and the pattern collapses, and the concave / convex pattern passes through the content. 6 cannot be seen clearly and clearly.

  Of course, as long as it is the outer surface of the recess 5, the uneven pattern 6 can be formed in any part. For example, a small uneven pattern may be given to the outer side surface of the recess 5, but in this example When the concave portion 5 is shallow like a compact container, the width in the height direction of the side surface is narrow. Therefore, when the lip gloss filled with the lid 2 opened is viewed, the uneven pattern formed on the outer side surface of the side surface Is not so noticeable. Therefore, it is preferable to form the uneven pattern 6 on the outer bottom surface of the recess 5 as in the above example.

  And in said example, although the container main body 1 whole is made from transparent acrylic resin, it is not necessarily required to make the container main body 1 whole transparent, and at least uneven | corrugated pattern 6 (in FIG. 3, 12) in the recessed part 5 It is sufficient that the portion to be imparted is formed in the light-transmitting portion with a transparent material or a translucent material. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, a large opening 10 is formed in the bottom of the container body 1, and the opening 10 is a concave member 11 formed of a transparent material or a translucent material such as a transparent acrylic resin. You may make it insert what attached the uneven | corrugated pattern 12 to the bottom by laser processing.

  In the present invention, the translucency of the translucent portion to which the uneven pattern 6 or the like is imparted is not particularly limited as long as the light change in the uneven pattern 6 or the like can be recognized. And as a transparent material or semi-transparent material which forms the said translucent part, an acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin, glass etc. are mention | raise | lifted.

  On the other hand, the translucent content to be filled in the recess 5 is not particularly limited as long as it has translucency such as a transparent or translucent liquid, a gel, or a transparent bead.

  In the above example, the present invention is applied to a compact container that accommodates four colors of lip gloss. However, the shape and configuration of the container are not limited to the above example, and may be any shape. There is no problem. For example, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), in a bottle-type container filled with a transparent or translucent face-wash gel or the like, a concavo-convex pattern 14 is provided by laser processing on the outer bottom surface of a container body 13 made of glass. can give. Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 (b), you may give the uneven | corrugated pattern 15 to the outer peripheral surface of the same container main body 13 by laser processing.

  Further, the laser processing in the present invention is preferably one in which a transparent material or a semi-transparent material is melted and vaporized to form a concavo-convex pattern, and a carbon dioxide laser, an excimer laser, or the like is suitable as a laser for performing such processing It is.

It is a perspective view of one Example of this invention. It is AA 'sectional drawing of FIG. It is sectional drawing of the other Example of this invention. (A), (b) is a perspective view which shows the other Example of this invention.
