Description

  The present invention contains powder (powder cosmetics) and contains powdery cosmetics such as body powders, white powders, cheek powders, powder foundations and the like, and powder puffs and other applicators. In a container, it is related with improvement of the powdery cosmetic container which prevents that cosmetics are scattered in and around the container.

  Conventionally, many containers have been proposed in which powdery cosmetics such as white powder and powder foundation are contained in powder form and an applicator such as a puff having a long bristle called a powder puff is placed above the powdery cosmetic. Many of these containers have a form in which an inner lid is placed over the powdery cosmetic and an applicator is placed on the inner lid. A mesh is stretched on the inner lid, and during use, the powdery cosmetic is applied to the applicator through the mesh of the mesh.

  However, the powdery cosmetic material may move more than necessary above the inner lid through the mesh, and the applicator may become powdery. This problem can be solved by fitting the cover above the inner lid to prevent the powdery cosmetics from moving above the cover, but it becomes cumbersome because it requires an operation to remove the cover during use. The number of points also increased, causing a cost increase.

  In recent years, ultrafine particle type powdery cosmetics with finer powders have been provided due to the adhesiveness of the cosmetics, the covering power, and the touch when the cosmetics are applied to the skin. This ultra-fine particle type powdery cosmetic is easier to move toward the applicator storage chamber, and the cosmetic in the applicator storage chamber is more likely to splash outside due to the flow of air when the lid of the container is opened. I was sorry. Patent Document 1 has been proposed as a means for solving such a problem.

JP-A-2005-7093

  In Patent Document 1, a part of the partition part of the inner lid is formed of silicon rubber or the like having excellent elasticity, and innumerable notches that penetrate vertically in the partition part are opened, and the notch is opened by extending the partition part. Makes cosmetics available. Further, the cut is not opened except when the partition is pressed with the applicator, and the powdery cosmetic is prevented from scattering.

  However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, if the partition wall thickness is made thin with emphasis on stretchability, the force for closing the cut becomes weak, which causes the powder to scatter. On the other hand, if the thickness of the partition portion is increased with emphasis on restoring force, the stretchability deteriorates, and there is a problem that the cosmetic cannot be used until the end.

  The present invention forms a thick part continuously or intermittently on the cosmetic housing chamber side of the partition part, and a plurality of cuts in the thick part in a direction crossing the extension direction extending by pushing down the partition part Is provided.

  In addition, the thick portion is formed in a direction crossing the extending direction that extends by pushing down the partition portion.

The powdery cosmetic container of the present invention has the following effects.
The partition portion forming the middle dish of the powdery cosmetic container of the present invention is provided with a thin portion and a thick portion with a notch that intersects the extending direction of the partition portion. When the partition part is pressed with an applicator such as a puff, the partition part is extended to open the notch, and when the partition part is released, the partition part is restored to its original shape to ensure that the notch is closed. can do. Therefore, a necessary amount of the powdery cosmetic material is taken out on the upper surface of the partition part through the perforated slit, and the entire amount is attached to the applicator that presses the partition part. Therefore, the powdery cosmetic is not scattered by the opening / closing operation of the outer lid.

  In addition, since the powder side of the partition portion is uneven in the thin portion and the thick portion, the powdery cosmetic material that has become stale in the cosmetic storage chamber is crushed and returned to the original powdery cosmetic material. Therefore, powdery cosmetics can be taken out to the end.

  Furthermore, the partition part which comprises an inner cover is formed with a stretchable silicon rubber etc., and it has an effect that a cheap inner cover can be provided by cutting a thick part.

Hereinafter, it demonstrates based on the Example of this invention powdery cosmetics.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the container for accommodating the powdery cosmetic container will be described as a container in which the cap fits into the container. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention, and the jar is sealed with a screw cap. Needless to say, the present invention can also be applied to a compact case type in which a container of a type and a lid are connected to the container by a hinge.

  FIG. 1 is a front sectional view of the powdery cosmetic container of the present invention. In the figure, the container 1 for storing the powdery cosmetic material 101 has a bottomed shape with an open top, and an outer lid fitting portion 11 for fitting and fastening the outer lid 3 to the outer periphery of the upper portion is provided. . The container 1 and the outer lid 3 are detachably fitted. An inner lid 5 is fitted to the opening side of the container 1 to partition the cosmetic material storage chamber 13 and the applicator storage chamber 31. The cosmetic storage chamber 13 stores powdery cosmetics 101 such as white powder and powder foundation. The applicator storage chamber 31 stores an applicator 105 such as a puff having a long bristle called a powder puff.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of the back surface of the inner lid according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. The inner lid 5 includes a frame portion 71 fitted to the opening side of the container 1, and a partition portion 51 formed of a stretchable material such as a silicon rubber sheet that is fixed to the frame portion 71 in a tight state. It is made up of. The partition 51 has a smooth upper surface, that is, the side of the applicator storage chamber 31, and a lower surface, that is, the side of the cosmetic storage chamber 13, which is formed with unevenness by a thin portion 55 and a thick portion 53. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the outer periphery of the partition portion 51 forms a fixed portion 59 and is fixed by the frame portion 71. FIG. 2A shows an example in which the thick portion 53 is continuously formed by forming an annular shape. In FIG. 2B, the thick portion 53 and the cut portion 57 are arranged in a spiral shape, and in FIG. 2C, the thick portion 53 and the cut portion 57 are arranged in a star shape, and the thick portion 53 is intermittently formed. An example is shown.

  The fixed portion 59 is formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the partition portion 51, and is fitted and fixed to a fixing portion 77 formed by combining the upper frame 73 and the lower frame 75 as shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, a locking portion 79 that locks to the upper end of the outer lid fitting portion 11 is provided on the upper portion of the upper frame 73 to prevent the inner lid 5 from falling to the cosmetics storage chamber 13 side. 3, symbol 1 is a container, symbol 3 is an outer lid shown in FIG. 1, and symbol 11 is a part of an outer lid fitting portion. 1, 3, and 4, the inner lid 5 is locked to the opening of the container 1 and the distance from the bottom of the container 1 is kept constant. However, the inner lid is not limited to this. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the fixing position of 5 is arbitrarily adjusted or a drop lid structure.

The cut portion 57 is opened by extending the partition portion 51 so that the powdery cosmetic 101 can be taken out. The cut portion 57 is formed in the thick portion 53 and is provided in a perforated manner. It is formed so as to penetrate the upper surface and the lower surface.
Further, the cut portion 57 is arranged in a direction intersecting with an extending direction that expands and contracts in the normal use state of the partition portion 51. As an example of arrangement, the cut portion 57 is spirally arranged from the center of the partition portion 51 as shown in FIG. 2 (A), and of course, the cut portion 57 is formed in a star shape as shown in FIG. 2 (B). There are means such as placement. Furthermore, it is also possible to employ means for arranging the cut portions 57 concentrically and arbitrarily selecting the cut angle within a range intersecting the extending direction of the partition portion 51. Therefore, since the arrangement of the cut portions 57 and a plurality of adjustment elements such as the number, length, and interval can be freely set, adjustment can be made according to the state of the powdery cosmetic 101, the specification of the applicator 105, and the like.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an operation for attaching cosmetics to a powdery cosmetic container, and shows a state where the applicator 105 is pressed from above the inner lid 5. When the applicator 105 is pressed above the inner lid 5, that is, from the upper surface of the partition portion 51 toward the cosmetic storage chamber 13, the partition portion 51 is curved so as to press the powdery cosmetic 101 in the cosmetic storage chamber 13. Elongate. The partition 51 is elongated mainly by the thin portion 55 and easily extends to the bottom. Further, as the partition portion 51 extends, a force that opens the cut portion 57 acts on the thick portion 53 adjacent to the thin portion 55. At that time, the cut portion 57 is opened, and the powdery cosmetic 101 can be arbitrarily taken out from the upper surface of the partition portion 51. The powdery cosmetic 101 taken out on the upper surface of the partition 51 can be efficiently attached by wiping including the pressing force of the applicator 105.

  On the other hand, when the pressing force of the applicator 105 applied to the partition part 51 is released, the partition part 51 closes the notch part 57 with a strong restoring force because the shrink notch part 57 is provided in the thick part. Therefore, the cut portion 57 is completely closed when no pressing force is applied from the application unit 105, such as when not in use or when being carried, and separates the cosmetic material storage chamber 13 and the applicator storage chamber 31 from each other. Further, since the cut portion 57 is formed in the thick portion 53, the cut portion 57 is less likely to be salvaged and a stable closed hole can be realized.

  The powdery cosmetic 101 taken out on the upper surface of the partition 51 as described above is all attached to the applicator 105 that presses the partition 51 from the upper surface. Furthermore, when carrying a powdery cosmetic container, the applicator 105 presses the inner lid 3 only slightly, and even if the powdery cosmetic 101 moves in the cosmetic container 13, the cut portion 51 is opened. Without moving from the cosmetic storage chamber 13 to the applicator storage chamber 31. Therefore, since there is no excess powdery cosmetic material 101 in the applicator accommodation chamber 31, the powdery cosmetic material 101 is not scattered every time the outer lid 3 is opened and closed.

  Moreover, since the undersurface side of the partition part 51 forms an unevenness by the thin part 55 and the thick part 53, the powdery cosmetic 101 that is lumped in the cosmetic storage chamber 13 is crushed and returned to the original powder form. . Therefore, the powdery cosmetic can always be kept in a predetermined powder state, and the adhesive force, the covering power, and the good touch when the cosmetic is applied to the skin can be reproduced for each makeup.

It is front sectional drawing of this invention powdery cosmetics container. It is back surface explanatory drawing of the inner cover concerning this invention. It is AA sectional drawing of FIG. 2 (A) concerning this invention. It is explanatory drawing of operation which makes the cosmetics concerning this invention powdery cosmetic container adhere.
