Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic compact container, and more particularly, to a cosmetic compact container capable of absorbing an impact on a dish during filling of a solidified cosmetic and preventing cracking and scattering of the solidified cosmetic at the time of impact. .

Conventionally, in cosmetics such as foundations, eye colors, and blushers, these cosmetics are generally provided by filling and solidifying these cosmetics in an intermediate dish for filling the cosmetics, and then mounting the cosmetics in a compact container. Solid cosmetics stored in compact containers, for example, may cause some of the cosmetics to peel off if the compact container is subjected to vibrations when it is carried, or if the user gives an impact by dropping the compact container while carrying it. There is a problem that cracks occur or cosmetics fall off from the dish while the cosmetic is being filled, and once solid cracks have occurred, some lumps and the whole peel off from the inner dish. When puffing and rubbing, it becomes difficult to use and cannot be used.
As a method for solving such a problem, for example, in a synthetic resin container body, a cushioning material sheet such as urethane foam that elastically supports the bottom of the cosmetic dish and absorbs a longitudinal impact, and a cosmetic dish A cosmetic compact incorporating a shock-absorbing ring made of rubber or the like that elastically supports the peripheral side portion of the rubber and absorbs a shock in the lateral direction (for example, see Patent Document 1). In addition, a solid cosmetic is stored in a cosmetic storage tray, and the cosmetic storage tray is press-fitted and held in a compact case via an elastic material for shock absorption (see, for example, Patent Document 2). A method of interposing a silicone gel in a buffering manner between the dish and the outer case (for example, see Patent Document 3) has been proposed. Furthermore, it is known that a cushion plate member is provided on the upper surface of the cosmetic dish or the cosmetic (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

However, according to the above method, the number of parts is increased and the cost is increased. Also, the assembly and productivity are not good, and the vibration and impact are absorbed to some extent by the elastic material, but a large impact force is applied. In such a case, the press-fitting engagement between the cosmetic storage tray and the compact case is released, and the cosmetic storage tray may fall out of the compact case. Although it may have a certain effect when it first comes into contact with an object to be dropped (in many cases it is a floor, but it can be a desk, etc.), it falls so that the side of the container collides with the floor. In such a case, there was a problem that the effect was low.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present invention is to reduce the size and weight of the cosmetics and to reduce cracks and scattering of the cosmetics no matter what direction the compact container filled with the solidified cosmetics is dropped. The object is to provide a cosmetic compact container that can be prevented.

  As a result of intensive studies to solve such problems, the present inventor made a spherical silicone gel intervene between the inside of the container body and the dish container during filling of the cosmetic, thereby cracking the solidified cosmetic at the time of impact and its The present invention has been completed by discovering that scattering can be prevented and that the weight and volume of the entire container can be reduced.

  That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, in a compact container used by accommodating a solidified cosmetic filling medium dish in the container main body, the middle dish containing portion for mounting the cosmetic filling medium dish is floated in the container main body. A cosmetic compact container is provided, characterized in that a spherical silicone gel is interposed between the container main body and the intermediate dish container.

  According to the second invention of the present invention, the cosmetic compact according to the first invention, characterized in that the spherical silica gel is arranged in the lower four corners between the inside of the container body and the inner dish container. A container is provided.

  According to the third invention of the present invention, in the first or second invention, the spherical silica gel is formed by chamfering the lower four corners of the middle dish accommodating portion between the container body and the middle dish accommodating portion. A cosmetic compact container is provided which is characterized in that it is disposed between.

  According to the fourth invention of the present invention, in any one of the first to third inventions, the spherical silicone gel is made of a silicone gel having a penetration of 10 to 120 (JIS K 2207-1980 50 g load). A cosmetic compact container is provided.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cosmetic compact container according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the spherical silicone gel has a diameter of 3.0 to 10.0 mm. Is done.

  Since the cosmetic compact container of the present invention uses spherical silicone gel as a cushioning material, it is a container that can prevent cracking and scattering of the solidified cosmetic, regardless of the orientation of dropping.

  The present invention is a cosmetic compact container that absorbs impact with a spherical silicone gel. The structure, performance, etc. will be described in detail below.

The cosmetic compact container of this invention is demonstrated in detail with reference to drawings which show one Embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a solidified cosmetic filling middle dish is accommodated in the cosmetic compact container of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the solidified cosmetic filling middle dish, and FIG. 3 is a cosmetic. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a medium dish container, and FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the order in which the solidified cosmetic filling middle dish is attached to the medium dish container and then the medium dish container is installed in the cosmetic compact container body. It is. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic compact container when the solidified cosmetic filling middle dish is attached to the middle dish container, the middle dish container is installed in the container body, and the lid is capped. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a portion where a spherical silicone gel is disposed. In each figure, 1 is a cosmetic compact container, 2 is a container body, 3 is a lid, 4 is a dish-filling dish, 5 is a medium dish container, 6 is a spherical silicone gel, 7 is a mirror, 8 is a cover, 9 is a puff and 10 is a solidified cosmetic.

In the cosmetic compact container 1 shown in FIG. 1, a lid 3 having a mirror 7 mounted therein is rotatably attached to the container body 2. A cosmetic filling middle dish 4 filled with the solidified cosmetic 10 shown in FIG. 2 is placed in a concave portion inside the container body 2 made of synthetic resin that is opened and closed by the lid 3. The inner dish accommodating portion 5 is installed in the concave portion of the container body 2.
As shown in FIG. 4, the cosmetic filling medium tray 4 filled with the solidified cosmetic material 10 is engaged with the locking part 51 of the middle dish storage part 5 by the locking part 41 of the cosmetic filling medium dish 4. The inside dish accommodating part 5 is installed in the concave part 21 of the container main body 2 in which the spherical silicone gel 6 is arranged at the four corners.
Furthermore, when the compact container 1 of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 5 which is a cross-sectional view of the container body 2 and the lid 3 closed, the solidified cosmetic 10 is filled in the dish 4 during the cosmetic filling, and the cosmetic filling is performed. The intermediate dish 4 is engaged with and attached to the intermediate dish container 5, and the intermediate dish container 5 is composed of four spherical silicone gels 6 in the recess 21 in the container body 2 and the bottom and side surfaces of the recess 21 in the container body 2. It is installed in a floating structure in a floating state without touching.

  By adopting a floating structure, the effect of mitigating the impact force from any of the three directions of the left and right sides and the bottom of the compact container is exerted. There will be no cracking of the material. In particular, the present invention is characterized in that the floating structure is realized using a spherical silicone gel. Normally, it is often the case that an elastic member is interposed between the object to be protected and the housing to obtain a buffering effect while transferring external vibration or impact from point contact or line contact to surface contact. What is being done is that there is a limit to the deformation of the elastic body at the contact surface of a line or surface, and a sufficient buffering effect has not always been obtained. However, the spherical elastic member has an advantage that even if the size of the elastic member is changed, the spherical elastic member can evenly absorb vibrations and shocks from all directions and can sufficiently cope with deformation of the elastic body. . In particular, a spherical silicone gel, which has a penetration of 10 to 120, has a characteristic that the elastic deformation and the buffering action are maximized even in a lightly loaded container. Yes.

  The spherical silicone gel 6 provided in the recess 21 of the container body 2 is preferably disposed at the four corners 22 of the recess 21. Moreover, it is preferable that the lower four corners of the inner dish container 5 in contact with the spherical silicone gel are chamfered at an angle of 45 to 60 degrees. At each corner between the corner 22 of the recess 21 and the four chamfered corners 52 of the inner dish accommodating portion 5, the spherical silicone gel 6 has four points as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, which are enlarged views of the corner. Contact the surface to reduce the impact. That is, FIG. 6 is an enlarged plan view of one corner where the spherical silicone gel 6 is disposed in the concave portion 21 of the container body 2 and the inner tray accommodating portion 5 is installed, and FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view thereof. The spherical silicone gel 6 is in contact with the side surface of the concave portion 21 at 61 and 62, is in contact with the bottom surface of the concave portion 21 and 63, and is further in contact with the chamfered portions 52 and 64 of the inner tray accommodating portion 5. By contacting at four points in this way, the elastic deformation and buffering action of the spherical silicone gel are exerted to the maximum with respect to the impact from the lower and side surfaces to the compact container. In addition, it is preferable that the diameter of the spherical silicone gel 6 is slightly larger than the space formed by the four corners of the concave portion 21 of the container body 2 and the chamfered portion 52 of the inner dish containing portion 5.

  In addition, since the cosmetic filling middle dish 4 filled with the solidified cosmetic 10 is attached to the middle dish container 5 and is in a floating state, a puff 9 is put in the space between the cosmetic filling middle dish 4 and the mirror 7. In the state where the compact lid 3 is closed, the dish 4 during cosmetic filling is in a state of being pressed downward, and the puff 9 acts as a cushioning material, and the impact force from the direction of the lid portion of the compact container. Is alleviated. Further, when using the compact container, when the solidified cosmetic 10 is wiped off with the puff 9, in order to prevent the cosmetic from entering the gap between the recess 21 of the container body 2 and the inner tray container 5. The cover 8 is preferably provided. The cover 8 preferably has a shape whose outer periphery is larger than the outer periphery of the recess 21 of the compact container and whose inner periphery is slightly smaller than the inner periphery of the cosmetic filling tray 4, and is locked to the inner wall surface of the recess 21 of the compact container. Any part can be used without particular limitation as long as it can be removed by providing 81 in FIG.

  With the above-described configuration, the cosmetic filling middle dish 4 and the middle dish container 5 are floated between the four spherical silicone gels 6 and the puff 9 provided in the container body recess 21. It becomes a structure, and the buffer action against the impact force from the outside is exhibited to the maximum.

  Note that the compact container of the present invention may be a substantially rectangular container having two recesses for storing the cosmetic filling middle dish and the cosmetics. However, in this case, it is desirable to put a cushioning material or the like on the sheet between the cover 9 and the tray 4 during cosmetic filling. Further, the cosmetic filling middle dish 4 and the middle dish container 5 may have a circular shape as well as a square shape as shown in the figure. When the inner tray container is circular, it is preferable to chamfer the outer corner of the location where the spherical silicone gel is disposed at the lower part of the inner tray container.

The spherical silicone gel used in the present invention is easily deformable due to the characteristics of siloxane bonds, has low creep properties, has high heat resistance, is thermally stable, has high chemical stability, and has a light transmittance of 90% or more. High transparency can be easily obtained, the refractive index can be easily adjusted and the distribution thereof can be easily adjusted. Therefore, it has a function of imparting adhesiveness to the molded product and adhering to any end face when pressed.
As the silicone gel, those conventionally used and commonly used as various commercially available silicone materials can be appropriately selected and used. Therefore, any of a heat curing type or a room temperature curing type, a condensation type or an addition type, etc. can be used. Further, the group bonded to the silicon atom is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include alkyl groups such as methyl group, ethyl group, and propyl group, cycloalkyl groups such as cyclopentyl group and cyclohexyl group, vinyl groups, and allyl groups. In addition to aryl groups such as alkenyl groups, phenyl groups, and tolyl groups, those in which the hydrogen atoms of these groups are partially substituted with other atoms or linking groups can be mentioned.

In the silicone gel used in the present invention, the penetration of JIS K2207-1980 (50 g load) after curing is preferably 10 to 120, more preferably 20 to 100. If the penetration is less than 10, it is too hard to obtain a sufficient shock buffering effect, and if it exceeds 120, it is too soft to obtain a sufficient shock buffering effect, and the deformation is so large that the floating surface is bottomed. Wake up.
Here, the penetration is a value obtained in accordance with JIS K 2207-1980.

  The spherical silicone gel used in the present invention can be produced by a known method of curing in a constant temperature fluid. The diameter of the spherical silicone gel is preferably 3.0 to 10.0 mm, more preferably 5.0 to 8.0 mm. When the diameter of the spherical silicone gel exceeds 10.0 mm, the compact container body becomes large, and when it is less than 3.0 mm, the floating surface is bottomed against a strong impact, which is not preferable.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited by these examples without departing from the gist thereof. In addition, the physical property measuring method is as follows.
(1) Penetration: Determined according to JIS K 2207-1980 (50 g load).
(2) Impact force: A compact container is fixed on a dropping table whose falling direction is constant by a guide rail, and an acceleration sensor is attached to the falling direction surface of the concave portion of the inner tray container for filling cosmetics (bottom direction) In the case of the bottom, in the case of the side, on the side), the drop height is 10 cm and the object to be dropped is dropped as a steel plate with a thickness of 25 mm. The impact force (acceleration G) was measured. In addition, 15 g of oil clay was packed in the concave portion of the cosmetic filling middle dish storage portion as a weight equivalent of the marketed cosmetic filling middle dish, and it was simulated that the cosmetic filling middle dish was mounted.

(Iii) Medium tray container for filling cosmetic: outer dimensions 55 mm × 63 mm × 11 mm, recess dimensions 45 mm × 53 mm × 8 mm
(Iv) Chamfering of the bottom of the inner tray container: chamfering of the bottom corner at a 30 degree angle from a point 4.3 mm in height from the bottom of the corner Further, as a spherical silicone gel, silicone with a penetration of 45.0 One gel ball having a diameter of 6 mm made of gel was disposed at each of the four corners of the container body recess of the compact container. Further, a sponge puff (outside dimensions 42 mm × 50 mm × 8 mm) was accommodated, covered with a container lid, and fixed with an adhesive tape.
A drop test in the bottom direction and a drop test in the short side direction of the compact container provided with the spherical silicone gel and the puff were performed. The results are shown in Table 1.

(Example 2)
A drop test in the bottom direction and a drop test in the short side direction of the compact container were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a spherical silicone gel having a penetration of 10 was used. The results are shown in Table 1.

(Comparative Example 1)
A drop test in the bottom direction and a drop test in the short side direction of the compact container were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a spherical silicone rubber ball [rubber hardness: 35 (JIS A)] was used instead of the spherical silicone gel. . The results are shown in Table 1.

(Comparative Example 2)
A drop test in the bottom direction and a drop test in the short side direction of the compact container were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the spherical silicone gel was not used. The results are shown in Table 1.

  As apparent from Table 1, the impact force received by the cosmetic in the compact container of the present invention was reduced to about 3 to 1/8 when the spherical silicone gel was not used. In addition, even if it dropped from the height of 30 cm in the drop test equipped with the commercially available solidified cosmetic filling medium tray under the conditions of Example 1, the solidified cosmetic did not crack or break.
