Description

  The present invention relates to a dispenser for supplying liquid cosmetics as needed from a bottle storing liquid cosmetics such as cleansing oil and hair treatment, and a dispenser container equipped with the dispenser.

  Conventionally, a dispenser container that stores liquid cosmetics such as cleansing oil or hair treatment in a bottle and supplies it as needed is operated by a user, for example, a downward operation with respect to a head portion constituting the dispenser. When the pump of the dispenser is operated by performing a pressing operation, the positive pressure and the negative pressure generated by the pump are discharged from the discharge hole of the nozzle part of the head part through the pipe containing the liquid cosmetics sucked up, and the like. In preparation for the next use, the liquid cosmetic or the like stored in the bottle is sucked into a pipe built in the nozzle portion (see Patent Document 1).

However, the above-described conventional dispenser containers such as liquid cosmetics have the following disadvantages when the room temperature decreases, such as in winter. That is, when the liquid cosmetic or the like stored in the bottle is cleansing oil, the liquid temperature of the cleansing oil sucked up in advance in the pipe built in the nozzle portion is lowered. And even if this cleansing oil with lowered liquid temperature is applied to the skin as it is, the pores of the skin will shrink due to the low liquid temperature, and the cleansing oil will not reach the back of the pores sufficiently, and the dirt behind the pores may be removed. It is not possible. In addition, if the viscosity is high even at room temperature, such as a hair treatment, the liquid temperature is lowered and the viscosity is further increased and the fluidity is lowered, and the required amount cannot be discharged from the nozzle portion of the dispenser container. Sometimes. If the pressing operation is repeatedly performed on the head portion in an attempt to forcibly discharge, the pressure in the dispenser container abnormally rises, and finally a hair treatment may be ejected from the nozzle portion and the surroundings may be soiled. Furthermore, even if it is made to discharge at a corner, if the viscosity is high and the fluidity is low, it becomes difficult to uniformly apply.
JP-A-9-103717

  The problem to be solved is to make it possible to sufficiently exhibit the effects of the liquid cosmetic stored in the bottle and to enhance the fluidity of the liquid cosmetic and make it easy to use.

  For this purpose, liquid cosmetics and the like stored in the bottle are sucked into the nozzle part constituting the dispenser and heated to an appropriate temperature as needed, and then the heated liquid cosmetics and the like can be supplied. is there.

Therefore, as a first feature, a dispenser attached to an opening of a bottle that stores liquid cosmetics and the like, a pump that sucks up liquid cosmetics stored in the bottle, and a downward pressing operation A head for operating a pump connected via a joint cylinder and a liquid makeup that is integrally held by the head part, and that connects one end of an internal pipe to the pump via the joint cylinder and sucks the other end It is connected to a discharge hole that discharges the material etc. to the outside, and is composed of a nozzle part that stores liquid cosmetics etc. in its interior,
A heating mechanism for heating the liquid cosmetic or the like is provided in the nozzle portion.

  As a result, by performing a downward pressing operation on the head portion of the dispenser, liquid cosmetics or the like stored in the bottle is sucked up by the pump, and part of the liquid cosmetics stays in the nozzle. The material or the like rises to a necessary temperature by being heated by the heating mechanism in the nozzle portion, and is supplied.

  In consideration of the first feature, as a second feature, a heater connected to a power source via a switch mechanism is disposed in a nozzle unit that is integrally held in the head unit.

  As a result, by performing a downward pressing operation on the head portion of the dispenser, the liquid cosmetic material or the like stored in the bottle is sucked up by the pump, and a part of the cosmetic stays in the nozzle portion. And since the liquid cosmetics etc. which remain | survive in a nozzle part are directly heated with a heater, they rise to a required temperature by being heated quickly and efficiently, and will be supplied.

  In consideration of the first feature, as a third feature, the pipe built in the nozzle part integrally held in the head part is a pipe having good heat conductivity and surrounds the outer surface of the pipe. In addition, a heater connected to a power source via a switch mechanism is arranged.

Then, by operating the switch mechanism and heating by the heater, the pipe in the nozzle part is heated by the heater, and at the same time, the liquid cosmetics etc. staying in the pipe are heated to the required temperature and supplied. Will be. In addition, since liquid cosmetics and the like are indirectly heated through a pipe, the liquid cosmetics and the like can be kept warm for a certain period of time even after the heater is corroded or heated by the liquid cosmetics.

  The good heat conductive pipe may be made of resin or metal. Resin is excellent in weight reduction and flexibility, and is advantageous in manufacturing operations. Therefore, it is preferable to use a metal pipe because the liquid cosmetics and the like can be efficiently heated and have heat durability.

  Based on the above second or third feature, the fourth feature is that the pipe is built in the nozzle unit that is integrally held in the head unit, and can be flexed between the joint cylinder connected to the pump. And a protruding portion that is integral with the head portion is provided on the lower surface side of the nozzle portion, the nozzle portion is tiltable downward, and the lower surface of the nozzle portion and the protruding portion The switch mechanism connected between the heater and the power source is disposed so as to face the nozzle portion at the protruding portion, and the switch mechanism is pushed by tilting the nozzle portion. The switch mechanism is actuated by force.

  Therefore, since the heater can be heated by tilting the nozzle part held integrally with the head part downward and pushing the switch mechanism, it is possible to rely on vision during face washing or hair washing. Even under such circumstances, it is possible to obtain a liquid cosmetic or the like that has been easily and surely raised to the required temperature with minimal operation.

  Further, based on the above second to fourth characteristics, as a fifth characteristic, the power source is integrally fixed to the dispenser.

  Therefore, since the dispenser including the power source can be integrated, the dispenser can be attached to the replacement bottle for use.

  In addition, a timer, a power supply or a power adapter connected to the power supply is used as a controller together with a switch mechanism to prevent malfunctions that occur when the dispenser is exposed to a large amount of water, or for the convenience of the operator when using it in a beauty salon. In order to improve the properties, the dispenser may be separated from the dispenser.

  In addition, an opening is provided in the upper part, and the bottle comprises a liquid cosmetic stored therein and a heater dispenser having any of the above characteristics, and the heater dispenser is attached to the opening. It is a heater dispenser container.

  Since the present invention can heat liquid cosmetics and the like stored in the bottle to an appropriate temperature immediately before use, the liquid cosmetics etc. can be used with their effects fully exhibited without altering the liquid cosmetics, etc. By heating, the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic or the like can be reduced and the fluidity can be increased, so that the user has an excellent effect that the liquid cosmetic or the like can be used easily and reliably.

  1 shown in FIG. 1 is a heater dispenser container which is Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The heater dispenser container 1 is provided with an opening 3 having a screw portion 4 screwed on the outer surface at the upper portion, a bottle 2 in which liquid cosmetics 5 and the like are stored, and an inside of the bottle 2. A pump 7 that sucks up liquid cosmetics 5 stored in the head, a head portion 19 that operates a pump 7 that is connected through a joint cylinder 20 by a downward pressing operation, and a head portion 19 are integrally held. The dispenser 6 includes a nozzle portion 21 and a power source 28 that is integrally attached to the upper portion of the dispenser 6 and the pump 7.

The pipe housed in the nozzle portion 21 that is integrally held in the head portion 19 is a metal pipe 23 with good heat conductivity such as aluminum, an alloy thereof, or stainless steel, and the metal pipe 23. A heater 24 such as a nichrome wire, which is connected with a power supply 28 that is integrally fixed to the dispenser 6 via a switch mechanism 27 through a switch mechanism 27 and wrapped with a heat insulating material 25, is disposed so as to surround the outer surface of the wire. It is.
In order to heat the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like 5 staying in the nozzle part 21 quickly and reliably, as shown in FIG. 7, the hole 21a drilled in the nozzle part 21 is sealed with a seal packing 21b. A heater 24 such as a nichrome wire covered with a silicon rubber tube or the like may be disposed therein. As a result, since the liquid cosmetic 5 and the heater 24 are in direct contact with each other in the nozzle portion 21, the temperature of the liquid cosmetic 5 and the like rises to a necessary temperature quickly and reliably.

Further, a flexible tube 26 that can be bent is interposed between one end of a metal pipe 23 housed in the nozzle portion 21 that is integrally held in the head portion 19 and the joint cylinder 20 connected to the pump 7. Thus, the nozzle portion 21 can be tilted downward with respect to the head portion 19, and the other end of the metal pipe 23 is a discharge hole 22 for discharging the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like sucked from the bottle 2 to the outside. Connect to
On the other hand, the lower surface side of the nozzle portion 21 is provided with a projecting portion 19a integrated with the head portion 19 while the front end side is inclined downward, and the lower surface of the nozzle portion 21 and the front end of the projecting portion 19a are repelled in the opening direction. By connecting with the spring 35, the nozzle portion 21 can be tilted downward and can be restored by the spring 35 repulsion.
Incidentally, the switch mechanism 27 connected between the heater 24 and the power source 28 includes a switch body 27a, a switch plate 27b, and a switch button 27c. The switch button 27c is provided so as to protrude upward from the switch body 27a. One end side is fixed to the upper part of the switch body 27a, and the other end side can be freely pressed by a switch plate 27b. The switch mechanism 27 is arranged in the protruding portion 19a integrated with the head portion 19 so as to face the nozzle portion 21 with the fixed end side of the switch plate 27b as the upper side of the inclined surface. As a result, the nozzle part 21 and the switch plate 27b are substantially parallel with the nozzle part 21 not tilted.
Therefore, by tilting the nozzle portion 21 downward, the switch plate 27b is pressed, the switch pot 27b strikes the switch button 27c, and the switch mechanism 27 is operated. It automatically returns to its original position by force.
The electric circuit including the switch mechanism 27 incorporates a timer circuit and a constant voltage circuit (not shown) to control the heater 24 to enable stable heating of the liquid cosmetic 5 and the like. In addition to this, the heating temperature of the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like is arbitrarily changed according to the operation of the nozzle unit 21, for example, the number of times the nozzle unit 21 is pressed against the switch plate 27b, that is, the number of times the switch button 27c is struck. In addition, when the operation is not performed for a long time, a circuit for automatically cutting off the main power supply and protecting the power supply 28 without using manual operation can be incorporated.

  Further, the timer 28 ″, the switch mechanism 27, the power supply 28 or the power supply adapter 28 ′ may be integrated into the controller 37 and separated from the dispenser 6 (see FIG. 6 (A)). Further, the switch mechanism 27 may be provided in the nozzle portion 21, and the timer 28 ", the power source 28, etc. may be provided separately. At this time, a connector 38 that can be attached and detached is provided in the middle of the lead wire 36, so that when the dispenser 6 is attached to and detached from the bottle 2, the connector 38 is separated to shorten the lead wire 36. 6 can be easily rotated with respect to the bottle 2 and can be quickly and easily attached and detached (see FIG. 6B). As described above, by disposing at least the dispenser 6 and the timer 28 ", the power supply 28, etc., even if the heater dispenser container 1 is exposed to a large amount of water, the influence of moisture on the electrical system is minimized. In addition, it is possible to sufficiently prevent malfunctions, and, in addition, the convenience of work can be improved by installing the controller 37 at a position convenient for the practitioner when used in a beauty salon or the like. .

  On the other hand, the bottle 2 and the dispenser 6 constituting the heater dispenser container 1 in the first embodiment of the present invention are provided around the outer surface of the pump body cylinder 13 together with the packing 33 at the edge of the opening 3 of the bottle 2. The screw portion 32 of the housing 29 of the power supply 28 including the housing upper portion 29a and the housing lower portion 29b for housing the battery 31 held by the battery holder 30 and the opening of the bottle 2 are mounted. By screwing the screw part 4 screwed on the outer surface of the part 3, the pump main body cylinder 13 is disposed between the upper peripheral edge 34 of the screw part 32 and the edge of the opening 3 of the bottle 2. The flange 13b provided around the outer side surface is integrally clamped together with the packing 33 and fixed.

Here, the pump 7 constituting the dispenser 6 is conventionally well-known, and is configured as follows.
That is, the pump 7 has an opening 8 that is closed by a fixed lid 9 at the top, and a taper that narrows toward the inner bottom of the bottle 2 at the bottom and can be closed by a ball valve 11. A pump body cylinder 13 having a suction hole 10 and a tube 12 connected to the suction hole 10, and a joint cylinder 20 connected integrally with the head part 19 passes through the fixed lid 9 and at its end. The introduction cylinder 15 is fixedly inserted into the space 14 in the pump body cylinder 13, and an elastic piston 16 having an H-shaped circumferential cross section is provided at the end of the joint cylinder 20 and the outer surface of the introduction cylinder 15. The pump body cylinder 13 is mounted so as to be in close contact with the inner wall surface. For this reason, the space 14 has a space between the fixed lid 9 and the joint cylinder 20 penetrating the fixed lid 9 with the piston 16 as a boundary, and an upper space 14a that can be vented to the outside. It is divided into a space lower part 14b in which airtightness is maintained between the inner wall surface. In addition, an air hole 17 communicating with the inside of the bottle 2 is formed in the pump body cylinder 13 in the upper space 14a, and the air hole 17 maintains and releases the hermeticity between the outside and the inside of the bottle 2. For this purpose, it can be opened and closed by contact or separation between the hanging edge 9a connected to the fixed lid 9 and contacting the inner wall surface of the pump body cylinder 13 and the piston upper portion 16a. A spring 18 is provided in the space lower part 14 b between the holding part 15 a of the introduction cylinder 15 fixed to the end of the joint cylinder 20 and the locking step part 13 a of the pump body cylinder 13.
Since the pump 7 is configured as described above, it operates as follows when the heater dispenser container 1 is used. The dispenser 6 is normally filled with the liquid cosmetic 5 etc. in the bottle 2 from the tube 12 to the tip of the nozzle portion 21 except when not in use.
First, by performing a downward pressing operation with respect to the head portion 19, an introduction tube fixed to the end portion of the joint tube 20 integrated with the head portion 19 in the space lower portion 14 b of the pump body tube 13. 15 and the piston 16 are pushed down to compress the spring 18 and to compress the volume in the lower space 14b. Therefore, the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like 5 in the space lower portion 14b closes the space valve 14b by pressing the ball valve 11 against the suction hole 10 of the pump body cylinder 13 in the space lower portion 14b. The pressure of the liquid cosmetic 5 etc. will rise. On the other hand, in the space upper part 14a of the pump body cylinder 13, the drooping edge 9a connected to the fixed lid 9 that is in contact with the piston 16 being pushed down and the piston upper part 16a are separated from each other. The air hole 17 is opened, that is, the airtightness is released, and the outside and the inside of the bottle 2 can be ventilated.
Then, the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like whose pressure has increased in the space lower part 14 b flows to the metal pipe 23 provided in the introduction cylinder 15, the joint cylinder 20, the flexible tube 26 and the nozzle portion 21, and finally. Pushes out the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like stored in the nozzle portion 21 and discharges it from the discharge hole 22.
Thereafter, by releasing the pressing operation to the head portion 19, the spring 18 compressed in the space lower portion 14 b is expanded by its elastic force, so that the piston 16, the introduction cylinder 15, the joint cylinder 20, and further the joint The head portion 19 integrated with the cylinder 20 is raised to return to the original position. Therefore, since the negative pressure is generated when the volume of the space lower portion 14 b of the pump body cylinder 13 is expanded, the ball valve 11 that has closed the suction hole 10 rises due to the negative pressure and is stored in the bottle 2. The liquid cosmetic 5 or the like is appropriately sucked up from the suction hole 10 of the pump body cylinder 13 through the tube 12. At that time, until the piston upper part 16a comes into contact with the hanging edge 9a connected to the fixed lid 9 and the sealing performance is maintained, the air hole 17 opened from the space upper part 14a of the pump body cylinder 13 is used. Since air is sucked into the bottle 2 in accordance with the volume of the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like sucked up from the bottle 2, no negative pressure is generated in the bottle 2, and the liquid cosmetic is always in the dispenser 6. Etc. 5 is filled up to the tip of the nozzle portion 21.

As mentioned above, since the heater dispenser container 1 which is Example 1 of this invention is comprised, a user uses as follows.
If the heater dispenser container 1 is not used at all, the dispenser 6 is not filled with the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like stored in the bottle 2, so that the head portion 19 is repeatedly pressed. Then, the pump 7 is operated and the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like needs to be filled up to the tip of the nozzle portion 21 in advance.

  First, when the user intends to discharge the heated liquid cosmetic 5 or the like from the heater dispenser container 1, the switch 21 of the switch mechanism 27 is switched by the lower surface of the nozzle unit 21 by tilting the nozzle unit 21 downward. The plate 27b is pressed, the switch button 27c is hit by the switch plate 27b, and the switch mechanism 27 is operated. As a result, the switch is turned on, and electricity is supplied from the power supply 28 to the heater 24 arranged so as to surround the outer surface of the metal pipe 23 housed in the nozzle portion 21. The pipe 23 is also heated. As a result, the liquid cosmetic 5 and the like staying in the metal pipe 23 is also heated. At this time, since the supply of electricity to the heater 24 is controlled by a timer circuit or a constant voltage circuit, the heater 24 can be heated for a predetermined time at a preset temperature, and the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like is brought into a temperature state suitable for use. In addition, since the metal pipe 23 is packaged by the heat insulating material 25 together with the heater 24 arranged so as to surround the outer surface thereof, the temperature of the heated liquid cosmetic 5 or the like can be easily lowered. In addition, safety can be maintained even if the nozzle part is touched carelessly during heating.

  Then, after heating for a preset time, the user performs a pressing operation on the head portion 19, so that the user stays in the metal pipe 23 provided in the nozzle portion 21 by the operation of the pump 7 described above. In addition, the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like heated to an appropriate temperature by the heater can be discharged from the discharge hole 22 of the nozzle portion 21.

  Further, once the heated liquid cosmetic 5 or the like has been ejected from the ejection hole 22 of the nozzle portion 21, the operation of the pump 7 described above is stopped by stopping the downward pressing operation on the head portion 19. A new liquid cosmetic 5 or the like is sucked up from the bottle 2 by the negative pressure generated in the space lower part 14 b of the pump body cylinder 13, and the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like is filled up to the tip of the nozzle portion 21 again.

  When all of the liquid cosmetic 5 or the like stored in the bottle 2 has been exhausted, the screw portion 32 of the power source 28 and the screw portion 4 screwed on the outer surface of the opening 3 of the bottle 2 are screwed. Since the dispenser 6 and the bottle 2 can be separated by solving the match, the dispenser 6 can be removed from the opening 3 of the bottle 2, and a refillable liquid cosmetic 5 or the like can be injected from the opening 3.

  Liquid cosmetics stored in the bottle can be heated to the required temperature as needed, for example, just before use, so the effect is lowered at low temperatures, and the viscosity is increased and the fluidity is increased. The present invention can be applied to a dispenser container that stores liquid cosmetics that are lowered and difficult to use.
