Description

The present invention relates to a mascara container or the like in which an ironing plug is installed, and more particularly to a liquid cosmetic container in which the amount of liquid cosmetic adhering to an applicator is adjusted with the ironing plug.

Conventionally, in a liquid cosmetic container such as a mascara, the highly viscous liquid cosmetic housed in the container body is attached to the applicator part planted at the tip of the application bar and taken out, and attached to the outer periphery of the applicator part. Liquid cosmetics are applied to the eyelashes.
The applicator section is usually composed of brush hairs arranged radially around the core material planted at the tip of the application rod so that the liquid cosmetic can be efficiently applied to each eyelash.

However, it is difficult to adjust the amount of the liquid cosmetic material adhering to the brush hair to an appropriate amount due to its viscosity, and the liquid cosmetic material is applied in a state where the liquid cosmetic material is adhering to a large amount.
For this reason, the upper eyelash cosmetic easily moves to the lower eyelashes or makes application spots.
Therefore, technique was necessary to apply mascara well.

For this reason, an ironing plug through which the applicator bar and the applicator part penetrate is inserted in the container body, and when the application bar and applicator part pass through, the liquid cosmetic material adhering to the application bar is ironed into the ironing plug. The ironing piece for adjusting the liquid cosmetic material adhering to the applicator portion to an appropriate amount has been provided. However, even if the liquid cosmetic adhering to the applicator part is adjusted to an appropriate amount, the liquid cosmetic remaining on the applicator part is near the root of the brush hair, and this residual liquid cosmetic is effectively used when applied. It could not be said that it could be applied. In addition, the cosmetic material remaining in the applicator portion is returned to the container body when the container body is closed, thereby accelerating the deterioration of the liquid cosmetic material in the container body.

Therefore, in recent years, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, a deformed ironing piece formed in a star shape or the like that is a concave polygon is used for the applicator portion. A device has been devised so that the liquid cosmetic can remain up to the vicinity of the brush hair tip of the applicator portion by using a deformed iron piece formed in a star shape or the like. As a result, the liquid cosmetic adhering to the applicator portion can be effectively applied.

JP 2003-180447 A

Patent Document 1 is an example in which the ironing stopper has ironing pieces having a hole shape such as a star shape, and the liquid cosmetic is left at the center and the outer periphery of the brush portion taken out from the liquid cosmetic container.

However, in the ironing plug having a star-shaped hole different from the application bar, a gap is generated between the outer periphery of the ironing plug and the insertion hole, and a large amount of liquid cosmetic is left in a streak shape on the application bar. For this reason, there arises a problem that not only the application bar is soiled but also the possibility of soiling the hand during makeup is increased. Moreover, when carrying around, there was a fatal inconvenience that the liquid cosmetic container was placed for a long time in a laid state, and the liquid cosmetic came out to the cap side.

In addition, the shape of the insertion hole of the ironing cap shown in Patent Document 1 does not have a function of adjusting the amount of cosmetics attached to the applicator part to an appropriate amount, and the amount of liquid cosmetics attached to the applicator part is the container Depending on the amount of the liquid cosmetic remaining on the main body, techniques are required for adjusting the amount of liquid cosmetic applied to the applicator and applying to the eyelashes, as in the case where no ironing plug is provided.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and the object of the present invention is to prevent the liquid cosmetic material from adhering to the application rod for implanting the applicator part when applying mascara to the eyelashes. It is intended to be able to carry out the application work with care.

Furthermore, the liquid cosmetics attached to the applicator are reduced and adjusted so that the liquid cosmetics can be applied to the eyelashes without any special technique.

Furthermore, the liquid cosmetic material is also applied to the eyelashes by adhering the liquid cosmetic material to the brush tip portion of the applicator unit.

The liquid cosmetic container of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object is a liquid cosmetic that is applied to the outer periphery of the applicator bar or applicator part to adjust the liquid cosmetic to be squeezed off, and the liquid cosmetic left only in the center by the squeeze cap. The amount of the liquid cosmetic adhering to the brush is adjusted while preventing the liquid cosmetic from adhering to the applicator stick by arranging the squeezing stoppers squeezed up and down on the outer periphery of the applicator. Further, the liquid cosmetic is attached to the tip of the brush hair so that the cosmetic can be efficiently applied.

That is, the amount of the liquid cosmetic adhering to the applicator part is adjusted to an appropriate amount by sliding the liquid cosmetic adhering to the outer periphery of the applicator rod with the iron stopper in the container body, and the brush follicle of the applicator part is further adjusted. The liquid cosmetic left in the vicinity of the original is partially squeezed out near the tip of the brush hair by sliding,
A liquid cosmetic necessary for application is partially moved to the surface of the applicator part.

In addition, the rubber stopper has an insertion hole slightly smaller in diameter than the inscribed circle diameter in the cross section perpendicular to the axial length direction of the coating rod, and the rubber that touches the entire circumference of the coating rod weakly so as to slide in the axial length direction Form a squeezing piece made of an elastic body, squeeze out the liquid cosmetic adhering to the outer periphery of the application bar, adjust the amount of liquid cosmetic adhering to the applicator part to an appropriate amount,
An inscribed circle larger than the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the axial length direction of the core material constituting the applicator portion in the cylindrical barrel portion, and the size of the applicator portion before and after the outer peripheral diameter concentric with the inscribed circle A squeezed piece made of a rubber elastic body having a concave polygonal shape or a convex polygonal shape with each circumscribed circle is formed on the circumscribed circle of the liquid, and the liquid cosmetic left in the vicinity of the brush hair root of the applicator portion is partially slid It consists of a squeeze stopper that squeezes out near the brush hair tip,
The squeezing stopper is disposed on the bottom side of the container body, and the squeezing stopper is on the cap side.

Furthermore, it is good also to have the reinforcing rib part which connected between the trunk | drum to the squeezing piece which forms a squeezing stopper.

Moreover, the side arranged in the bottom face side of the container main body of the squeezing piece of the squeezing stopper may be formed in a pointed shape.

The liquid cosmetic container of the present invention has the following effects.
That is, in the state where the cap is closed on the container body containing the liquid cosmetic, the applicator portion implanted in the vicinity of the tip of the application bar fixed to the cap and at the tip of the application bar is immersed in the liquid cosmetic. The liquid cosmetic is attached. However, the applicator bar is lightly sealed so that the outer periphery is slidable by the ironing stopper, thereby preventing the liquid cosmetic from flowing to the cap side. When the cap is further removed, the liquid cosmetic adhering to the application bar is squeezed by the ironing piece when passing through the ironing stopper, and the applicator part is adjusted to an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic and removed. There is no need to worry about getting your hands dirty or the floor around your makeup.

Further, the present invention provides a brush hair root with a squeezing plug having a deformed squeezing piece made of a convex polygon, a substantially star-shaped concave polygon, etc. The liquid cosmetic remaining in the vicinity of the base is moved to the vicinity of the brush root. That is, the applicator part is squeezed with a squeezing stopper to leave the liquid cosmetic near the root of the brush hair, and the remaining liquid cosmetic is squeezed out to the outer peripheral side of the applicator part, that is, near the tip of the brush. Therefore, the liquid cosmetic can be efficiently applied, the amount of the remaining liquid cosmetic returned to the container body is reduced, and the deterioration of the liquid cosmetic in the container body can be minimized.
