Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly to a cosmetic container capable of adjusting the amount of adhesion to an applicator during use and having a function of reducing the remaining amount of cosmetic to be stored.

Conventionally, most cosmetic containers for storing cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, lip liner, gloss, eye color, etc. are composed of three parts: a container body, an inner plug and a cap. An applicator is provided for applying. And when using, the inside plug which has a squeeze mechanism which wipes off the excess cosmetics adhering to applicators, such as a brush, is generally used.

However, conventional cosmetic containers for storing cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, lip liner, gloss, and eye color are generally used in bottle types made of metal or hard resin, and the applicator is used at the bottom corner of the container body. Because the amount of cosmetics to be applied is adjusted only by the inner plug with the squeeze function to be attached, the amount of adhesion within the range of the squeeze function that depends on the inner plug structure However, there was a problem that only the adjustment was possible and the cosmetics could not be used up to the end.

Therefore, there have been proposals for cosmetic containers having a device for reducing the amount of remaining cosmetics and a mechanism for achieving an appropriate amount of application, but proposals for sufficiently satisfying cosmetic containers have not yet been made. Not.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, and to freely adjust the amount of cosmetics to be attached to the applicator, and to use up until almost no cosmetics remain in the container. The provision of possible cosmetic containers.

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventor has intensively studied paying attention to the properties of the container main body and the shape and material of the inner stopper having a squeaking mechanism. As a result, it was found that the amount of the cosmetic can be adjusted freely by pressing and deforming the scab portion mounted inside the container main body, thereby completing the present invention.

That is, the present invention applies a finger pressure to the deformable container body to compress and deform the staghorn portion mounted inside the container body, thereby wiping away the excess cosmetic material adhering to the applicator and applying an appropriate amount. A mechanism having a function of adhering the cosmetic material to the applicator was provided. Further, the mechanism is characterized in that the neck portion provided with the squeeze mechanism and the shoulder portion of the container main body cylindrical portion are welded and integrated.

The cosmetic container of the present invention can be used until the amount of the cosmetic to be applied can be easily adjusted by merely applying finger pressure to the container body, and there is almost no remaining cosmetic.

Although the shape of the container main body used for the cosmetic container of the present invention can be arbitrarily set within the range where the effects of the present invention are not impaired, a cylindrical tube or a cylindrical bottle is preferable. The material that can be used for the container body is preferably a three-layer structure material of polyethylene / eval / polyethylene for a tube, and polypropylene for a bottle type. In addition, when using any shape or material, the container body can be deformed inward (acupressure direction) by the acupressure during use, but when the acupressure is released after use, it is restored to the shape before use, and The shape and the material are preferable so that the container body is hardly deformed when being stored or being put in a bag or the like when being carried out.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a bottle type mascara container of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a tube type mascara container of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tube-type eye color container of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional mascara container. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the tube type eye color container of the present invention in a state where finger pressure is applied from the center. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of a tube-type mascara container with a short scab portion of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cosmetic container of the present invention has a neck portion 5 and a container main body cylindrical portion 2b each having a squirrel portion 5a having a squeeze mechanism. It is the container main body 2 which the cylindrical part shoulder part 2a was welded and integrated. The container body 2 and a cap 1 that can be opened include a brush 3a at the tip of a shaft 4 that extends into the container body. In addition, the container body and the cap have a structure in which the neck portion mouth portion 5b and the cap interior 1a welded to the container body have a screw structure, and are sealed when the cap is closed.

In use, the cap is removed from the container body, and a cosmetic such as mascara or eye color attached to the applicator is applied to the eyelashes or eyelashes. At that time, the container body is deformed inward by applying finger pressure to the container body cylindrical portion 2b, and thus the squeaker portion 5a is pressed and deformed inward to reduce the contact resistance between the shaft portion 4 and the brush 3a. increase. By this action, excess cosmetic material adhering to the applicator such as the shaft and the brush is wiped off, and the adhering amount to the applicator such as the brush can be adjusted.

In the cosmetic container of the present invention, the container body cylindrical portion can be arbitrarily deformed by finger pressure from the side surface, and it is possible to change the place where the finger pressure is applied or to increase the area. It is possible to adhere to an applicator such as a brush or a chip even if the remaining amount of the stored cosmetic is small, by applying acupressure so as to decrease the amount. In addition, since the degree of deformation of the squeaking portion can be adjusted by the magnitude of the pressure applied to the finger, the amount of the cosmetic material attached to the applicator can be freely adjusted.

As shown in FIG.2 and FIG.6, regarding the neck part 5 having a squeeze function provided in the container body of the cosmetic container of the present invention, the length of the squeeze part 5a of the neck part is the property of the cosmetic to be stored. Can be set arbitrarily, and a length that can be easily adjusted by the finger pressure mechanism is preferable, and a length that reduces the amount of the remaining cosmetic is more preferable.

Regarding the neck portion 5 having a squealing function provided in the container body of the cosmetic container of the present invention, the inner diameter and shape of the squealing part 5a of the neck portion is appropriate for the cosmetics attached to the applicator such as a brush and a tip. Although it will not be limited if it is the internal diameter and shape which can be wiped off, it is preferable that it is 0.1 mm or more larger than the outer diameter of the axis | shaft 4, and a circular shape is also preferable.

Further, regarding the neck portion 5 having a squeak function provided in the container body of the cosmetic container of the present invention, the inner diameter of the neck portion is not limited as long as the shaft 4 can pass smoothly, but the outer diameter of the shaft and If the interval is increased, the squeak function is inhibited, and if it is too narrow, the shaft cannot be smoothly put in and out and a problem occurs in usability. Therefore, 0.05 to 0.5 mm is preferable.

In addition, the cosmetic container of the present invention has a structure in which the mouth portion having the neck portion provided with the squeeze mechanism is welded to the mouth portion of the container body when the container body is molded as described above. Unlike the conventional mascara container provided with the inner plug 6 having the scab 6a shown in FIG. 4, it can be arbitrarily set, in order to secure the amount of cosmetics applied to the applicator and usability. In addition, it is not necessary to precisely mold the inner diameter of the stagnation portion. That is, it is not necessary to precisely mold the dimensions of the squeeze mechanism, the number of materials can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced including the production process.

The present invention can be widely applied to liquid cosmetic containers such as mascara, eyeliner, lip liner, gloss, and eye color.
