Description

  The present invention relates to a stick-shaped cosmetic container for housing cosmetics such as lipsticks, nail polishes, and foundations.

In general, in a stick-shaped cosmetic container in which cosmetics such as lipsticks and foundations are accommodated, the covering lid portion of the container main body is covered with the cap by externally fitting the cap from the upper end of the container main body in which the cosmetic is accommodated. Those configured to cover are known.
In this way, in the stick-shaped cosmetic container that stores cosmetics by fitting the cap from the upper end of the container body, an elastic member having an urging force in the vertical axis direction is attached to the innermost innermost end of the cap. In addition, there is a configuration in which the cap and the container body are engaged and disengaged using the biasing force of the elastic member.
For example, in Patent Document 1, a spring material that is urged toward the opening of the cap at the inner back end of the cap, and an application member that is urged toward the container body by the spring material, When the coating member protruding toward the container body from the back end is urged toward the container body and the top end of the container body is covered with a cap, first the tip of the coating member is the back end of the container body. In this state, the cap is engaged with the engaging portion of the container body while the spring material is contracted. In order to remove the cap from the container body, the cap is circumferentially twisted with respect to the container body so that the engagement is released and the spring is biased to move the cap away from the container body. It is configured to move.
For example, in Patent Document 2, an inner cylinder body (inner cylinder) that is movable in a cap is provided, and a container body is slidably fitted on the inner cylinder body, and is shaken at the lower end of the middle cylinder body. An engagement portion provided on the inner bottom of the cap by pushing the container body in a state where it is fitted in the middle cylinder body, in order to provide a movable posture for accommodating the container body in the cap. On the other hand, by engaging the engagement protrusion with the guide of the guide portion and taking the container body out of the cap so that the container can be taken out, the container body is pushed into the back side of the cap again. The cylindrical body is pushed into the back side of the cap, whereby the engaging projection is released from the engaging portion by the guide of the guide portion, and the middle cylindrical body is moved to the cap opening side so that the container body is in the removal posture. In this case, in order to maintain the storage posture, a spring material is provided between the bottom portion of the cap and the lower surface of the middle cylindrical body, and the engagement from the engagement portion of the engagement protrusion is caused by the biasing force of the spring material. It is not released.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-46680 JP 2007-61393 A

However, in the cosmetic containers as shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, a spring material is attached to the inner end of the cap, and the cover of the cap with respect to the container body is maintained using the biasing force of the spring material. However, since it is configured to be released, it is necessary to prepare a spring material separately, which not only increases the number of parts, but also requires a process of incorporating the spring material inside the cap. There is a problem that leads to an increase. In addition, since these materials use spring materials, there is a problem in that the protruding speed changes as the cosmetic weight is reduced by use.
Further, in Patent Document 1, when the engaging protrusion is engaged with the engaging portion by the spring material, the spring material moves back and must be designed to secure a space for the movement. Moreover, since the spring material is projected using the urging force of the spring material, there is a risk of unexpected sudden projection. In addition, it becomes a cosmetic container having a gap between the container body and the cap, which is not preferable in appearance, and wasteful movement occurs in the operation of attaching and detaching the cap, and the comfort of the operation is impaired. There are problems, and these are the problems that the present invention does not solve.

The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the invention of claim 1 includes a container main body in which a bar-shaped cosmetic is accommodated, and a container main body that is externally fitted from above the container main body. In the stick-shaped cosmetic container comprising a cap that covers the covering lid portion, the cap is a cylindrical portion with an upper half-side body portion having a dome-like cylindrical shape, and a lower end opened, It is composed of a lower half side dial part that is rotatable about the vertical axis with respect to the body part, and the body part and the dial part are between the vertical groove facing the vertical axis direction and the upper and lower ends of the vertical groove. A guide groove formed of a spiral groove communicating in a circumferential direction and a body part formed at a position corresponding to the longitudinal groove and formed with a longitudinal hole corresponding to the longitudinal groove length. There is an inner cylinder that is slidably fitted into the body cylinder part so that the container body is slid to the uppermost end. A contact portion against which the main body of the container abuts and an engagement protrusion movably engaged with the guide groove and the vertical hole of the body tube portion, and the engagement protrusion is positioned at the upper end of the vertical groove of the guide groove. In addition, when the container main body is in contact with the abutting portion of the inner cylinder and the container main body is accommodated in the cap, the dial portion is relatively rotated with respect to the trunk portion, so that the engagement protrusion is formed in the guide groove. Protrusion posture in which the inner cylinder moves down together with the container body by moving from the upper end of the longitudinal groove to the lower end of the longitudinal groove via the spiral groove, and the container body projects from the lower end of the cap so that the container body can be removed from the cap. On the other hand, by pushing the container body upward from the lower end of the cap in the protruding posture, the engagement protrusion moves from the lower end of the longitudinal groove to the upper end and moves until it hits the abutting part of the container body. Doo is made, is a stick-shaped cosmetic container which is characterized in that so as to Hensugata the container body into the accommodating position with the inner tube.
A second aspect of the present invention is the stick-shaped cosmetic container according to the first aspect, wherein the guide groove is provided with a step portion for preventing the engagement protrusion located at the lower end of the vertical groove and the upper end of the vertical groove from returning. .
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the bar-shaped cosmetic container according to the second aspect, the inner cylinder is flexible so as to assist in exceeding the stepped portion of the engaging projection.
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the stepped portion generates a clicking sound when the engaging protrusion is located at the lower end of the vertical groove and the upper end of the vertical groove. It is a container.
The invention according to claim 5 is characterized in that there are a plurality of longitudinal grooves, and the spiral groove is connected in one direction in the circumferential direction from one upper end to the other lower end of adjacent longitudinal grooves. The stick-shaped cosmetic container according to any one of 1 to 4.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the container body is pushed into the cap from the lower end of the bar-shaped cosmetic container in which the bar-shaped cosmetic is accommodated without incorporating the spring material into the cap, and the container body is accommodated in the cap. The container body can be transformed into a projecting posture in which the container body projects from the lower end of the cap by relatively rotating the body portion and the dial portion constituting the cap from the housing posture and the state of the housing posture. For this reason, it becomes possible to manufacture a bar-shaped cosmetic container configured to accommodate the container body in the cap by pushing the container body into the cap without using a spring material, thereby reducing the number of parts. I can do it.
In addition, even if there is an increase or decrease in the weight of the container body, such as when cosmetics are reduced due to use or when the container body is replaced with a new one, the shape changes from the stowed position to the protruding position as with spring materials. There is no inconvenience that the protruding speed changes.
Further, unlike the case where a spring material is used, it is not necessary to consider the space for the return movement of the spring material when engaging the engaging protrusion with the engaging portion, and the degree of freedom in design is increased. Further, by using the spring material, there is no risk that the container body or the cap suddenly protrudes unintentionally, and a bar-shaped cosmetic container with good operability can be obtained.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the container main body is pushed into the cap so as to be in the accommodation posture, the engagement protrusion positioned at the upper end of the vertical groove returns to the lower end, and the posture is projected from the container posture of the container main body. It is possible to prevent reversion to. Further, when the container body is in a protruding posture by relatively rotating the body portion and the dial portion, the protrusion of the container body is caused by the engagement protrusion positioned at the lower end of the spiral groove returning from the lower end of the spiral groove to the upper end. It is possible to prevent the return from the posture to the stowed posture. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the engagement between the upper and lower ends of the longitudinal grooves of the engaging protrusions in the housing posture and the protruding posture without using a spring material.
By setting it as invention of Claim 3, when an engagement protrusion slides a guide groove, it can be set as the inner cylinder which can exceed a level | step-difference part smoothly. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly change from the stowed posture to the protruding posture and from the protruding posture to the stowing posture.
According to the invention of claim 4, when a change from the stowed posture to the protruding posture and when changing from the protruding posture to the stowing posture, a click sound is generated to make the user's ear comfortable. Moreover, since the user can recognize that the housing posture and the protruding posture are completely changed, it is possible to give the user a sense of security.
According to the invention of claim 5, the distance of the spiral groove can be made different according to the number of longitudinal grooves, and thereby the relative rotation between the trunk portion and the dial portion when changing from the stowed posture to the protruding posture. The amount of movement can be made different.

And when feeding and using the rod-shaped cosmetic from the container main body 2, the inner plate 9 is moved along the guide hole 5a by rotating the gripping cylinder 7 relative to the saddle cylinder 4 or the inner tool 6. In a state where the rotation is restricted, the projection 9a is slidably guided in the spiral groove 8a to move up and down on the inner peripheral surface of the body tube 5.
Reference numeral 11 denotes a ring that is fitted on the body cylinder 5 and slidably contacts the lower end of the spiral cylinder 8.

On the other hand, the cap 3 has a dome-like cylindrical shape so as to be externally fitted from the upper end side of the container main body 2 so as to cover the container main body 2. Although the part 12 and the lower half part are comprised by the cylindrical dial part 13, the dial part 13 is relatively rotatable with respect to the trunk | drum 12 about the vertical axis | shaft.
A cylindrical guide tube 14 is integrally fixed to the body portion 12 on the inner peripheral surface side of the upper end portion of the body portion 12. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the guide cylinder 14 has a pair of longitudinal grooves 15 and 15 which are formed at opposite positions with an axis therebetween and which are adjacent to each other, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. A guide groove 17 is formed which includes spiral grooves 16 and 16 that connect the upper end portion 15a of the vertical groove 15 and the lower end portion 15b of the other vertical groove 15 in one circumferential direction. In the embodiment of the present invention, the spiral groove 16 is connected so as to rotate rightward in the drawing view, but it goes without saying that it may be counterclockwise. Moreover, although the vertical groove 15 is two as a pair, it may be one or three or more. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the guide groove 17 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the guide tube 14 provided integrally with the inner peripheral surface of the trunk portion 12. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may form directly on a surrounding surface.

  An upper end portion 15 a of the vertical groove 15 is an upper end portion 16 a of the spiral groove 16, and a lower end portion 15 b of the vertical groove 15 is a lower end portion 16 b of the spiral groove 16. The vertical groove 15 is formed such that the lower end portion 15b is a deep groove, and the groove becomes shallower as it approaches the upper end portion 15a from the lower end portion 15b of the deep groove, but the step shape formed in front of the upper end portion 15a. The upper end 15a is a deep groove with the first stepped portion 17a as a boundary. The spiral groove 16 is such that the upper end portion 16a of the spiral groove 16 overlapping the upper end portion 15a of the longitudinal groove 15 is a deep groove, and the groove becomes shallower as it approaches the spiral groove lower end portion 16b from the spiral groove upper end portion 16a. Although formed, the spiral groove lower end portion 16b is a deep groove with a second step portion 17b which is a stepped portion formed in front of the spiral groove lower end portion 16b. The spiral groove lower end portion 16b overlaps the lower end portion 15b of the vertical groove 15, and is a deep groove of the lower end portion 15b of the vertical groove 15 with the second stepped portion 17b as a boundary.

  Below the guide tube 14, a support tube 18 is attached that is integrally fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 12 and whose outer peripheral surface is in contact with the lower end side and the inner peripheral surface side of the guide tube 14. The guide cylinder 14 is supported in a state of being sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the support cylinder 18 and the inner peripheral surface of the body portion 12, so that the guide cylinder 14 is not displaced. . As shown in FIG. 5, the support cylinder 18 is formed so that the upper end edge 18 a has the same shape as the lower end edge 17 c of the guide groove 17. The movement of the engagement protrusion 21 a is not hindered by the upper end edge portion 18 a of the support cylinder 18 when moving 17.

  On the inner peripheral surface side of the dial portion 13, a cylindrical body portion 19 that covers the entire inner peripheral surface of the dial portion 13 and extends to the inner peripheral surface of the trunk portion 12 is integrally fixed to the dial portion 13. Has been. As shown in FIG. 6, two vertical holes 19 a having a length corresponding to the groove length of the vertical groove 15 are formed at the upper end portion of the body tube portion 19 at a position corresponding to the vertical groove 15. Yes.

  On the inner peripheral surface side of the upper end portion of the body tube portion 19, an inner tube 21 in which a pair of engaging projections 21a that engage with the vertical holes 19a project from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion is engaged with the engaging projection 21a. It is internally fitted so as to be slidable with respect to the body part 19 by the length of the longitudinal groove 15. As shown in FIG. 7, the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 21 is formed such that the lower half portion has a larger diameter than the upper half portion, and a step shape formed between the upper half portion and the lower half portion. The part is a contact part 21b against which the upper end part 2b of the container body 2 abuts when the container body 2 is pushed into the cap 3.

The inner cylinder 21 is formed of a flexible member so that the engagement protrusion 21a easily exceeds the first and second stepped portions 17a and 17b. Longitudinal elongated holes 21c and 21c penetrating through the cylinder 21 are formed, so that the engagement protrusion 21a can be more easily passed over the first and second stepped portions 17a and 17b.
Further, the engaging protrusion 21a and the guide groove 17 are arranged such that the engaging protrusion 21a gets over the first and second stepped portions 17a and 17b, and the upper end portion 15a (spiral groove upper end portion 16a) and lower end portion 15b (spiral groove lower end portion 16b). At the moment when it is moved so as to fall down, the engaging protrusion 21a and the upper end 15a or the lower end 15b collide with each other to generate a click sound.
The lower end edge 13a of the dial portion 13 of the present embodiment is inclined when viewed from the side, but this is intended to facilitate removal of the container body 1 from the cap 10 and to improve design. However, it is not particularly limited to this shape.

In the embodiment of the present invention configured as described, first, in the housing posture (the posture of FIGS. 8A and 8C) in which the container body 2 in which cosmetics are housed is housed in the cap 3, the container body 2 The upper end 2a of the inner cylinder 21 is in contact with the abutting portion 21b of the inner cylinder 21. At this time, the engaging projection 21a passes through the upper end 19b of the vertical hole 19a formed in the body cylinder portion 19. The upper end 15a of the longitudinal groove of the guide groove 17 formed in the guide cylinder 14 is located.
At this time, the middle tray 9 of the container main body 2 is in a state where the cosmetics accommodated in the accommodating portion 9b of the middle tray 9 are fed back downward so as not to protrude upward from the upper end portion 2a of the container main body.

Next, when removing the cap 3 of the cosmetic container 2 from the container body 2 from the accommodation posture described above, the body portion 12 and the dial portion 13 of the cap 3 are respectively held as shown in FIG. To make a relative rotation in one direction. The rotation direction in this case is the direction of the arrow in the drawing of the body portion 12 with respect to the dial portion 13 in the present embodiment.
When the trunk portion 12 is thus rotated with respect to the dial portion 13, the engaging protrusion 21a that has been positioned at the upper end portion 15a of the vertical groove 15 through the upper end portion 19b of the vertical hole 15 in the accommodated posture is The second stepped portion is moved from the spiral groove upper end portion 16a which is the longitudinal groove upper end portion 15a toward the spiral groove lower end portion 16b which is the lower end portion 15b of the other longitudinal groove 15 in a state where the rotation is restricted by the longitudinal hole 19a. It is located in the lower end part 15b of the other vertical groove 15 in the state which does not reverse by exceeding 17b. Due to the movement of the engagement protrusion 21 a along the guide groove 17, the engagement protrusion 21 a moves the vertical hole 19 a of the body part 19 from the upper end part 19 b to the lower end part 19 c, and the inner cylinder 21 has a groove length of the vertical groove 15. Thus, it moves relative to the cap 3 downward. Then, the upper end portion 2b of the container body 2 is pushed downward by the downward movement of the abutting portion 21b, whereby the container body 2 is, as shown in FIGS. 8B and 9B, The lower end 2c is in a protruding posture protruding from the lower end 3a of the cap 3.

  In this state, the container main body 2 can be taken out from the cap 3 by grasping the lower end 2c of the container main body 2 protruding from the lower end of the cap 3 and pulling it out from the cap 3 (see FIG. 9C). The container body 2 removed from the cap 3 rotates the gripping cylinder 7 relative to the rod cylinder 4 or the inner tool 6 so that the spiral groove 8a is formed in a state where the protrusion 9a is restricted in rotation along the guide hole 5a. While being guided by sliding, the inner tray 9 moves up and down on the inner peripheral surface of the body tube 5, and the mechanism for feeding and returning such cosmetic is the same as that for a general bar-shaped cosmetic. is there.

And after using cosmetics, in order to cover and store the container main body 2 containing the cosmetics with the cap 3, the upper end 2 b of the container main body 2 is pushed into the cap from the lower end 3 a of the cap 3. It is sufficient that the upper end 2b of the container main body 2 is brought into sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 21, and the engagement protrusion 21a located at the lower end 19c of the vertical hole 19a is pushed by further pushing. While moving to the upper end portion 19b, the upper end portion 2b of the container main body 2 comes into contact with the abutting portion 21b, and the cosmetic container 1 has the housing posture shown in FIGS. 8 (A), (C), and FIG. 9 (A). Become.
Note that the inner tube 21 and the gripping cylinder are changed depending on the sliding resistance between the inner tube 21 and the gripping tube 7 of the container body 2 and the sliding resistance between the inner tube 21 and the support tube 18. 7 and the sliding tip of the inner cylinder 21 and the supporting cylinder 18 are determined at the same time or at the same time.
Moreover, in this Embodiment, when accommodating the container main body 2 in the cap 3, it comprised so that the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 21 and the holding cylinder 7 of the container main body 2 might slide, However, It is limited to this. It is good also as what the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the center tool 6 slide instead of a thing, and the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the collar cylinder 4 slide. It is also good.
Furthermore, the inner cylinder 21 may be configured such that the outer peripheral surface of the gripping cylinder 7 and the inner peripheral surface of the body cylinder part 19 slide, assuming that the lower end edge is formed with the abutting part 21b. The outer peripheral surface of the tool 6 and the inner peripheral surface of the body tube portion 19 may be configured to slide, or may be configured to allow the saddle tube 4 and the body tube portion 19 to slide. As described above, when the gripping cylinder 7 and the body tube portion 19, the inner tool 6 and the body tube portion 19, and the heel tube 4 and the body tube portion 19 are configured to slide, the inner tube 21 is the container body 2. When the upper end portion 2b comes into contact with the abutting portion 21b, it is pushed up to the upper end portion of the cap 3 to be in the accommodated posture.

Accordingly, the container body 2 is pushed into the cap 3 by inserting the container body 2 from the lower end 3a of the cap 3 without incorporating the spring material into the cap 3 into the container 3 containing the rod-shaped cosmetic material. The container body 2 is transformed into a projecting posture in which the main body 12 and the dial portion 13 constituting the cap 3 are rotated relative to each other from the housing posture and the housing posture to be projected from the lower end 3 a of the cap 3. I can do it. For this reason, the stick-shaped cosmetic container 1 configured to cover the container body 2 with the cap 3 by pushing the container body 2 into the cap 3 can be manufactured without using the spring material. There is no need to prepare, and the number of parts can be reduced.
In addition, since the present invention is implemented, the user himself / herself operates the transformation to the protruding posture and the housing posture due to the relative rotation and pushing of the trunk portion 12 and the dial portion 13, It is possible to change the shape according to the user's intention and not to change suddenly at an unintended speed unlike those using spring materials.
Further, as in the case of using a spring material, it is not necessary to consider the space for the return movement of the spring material when engaging the engaging protrusion with the engaging portion, and thus the degree of freedom in design is increased.

  Further, when the container main body 2 is pushed into the cap 3 to be in the storage posture, the engagement protrusion 21a located at the upper end portion 15a of the longitudinal groove 15 returns to the lower end portion 15b side from the storage posture of the container main body 2. It is possible to prevent the return to the protruding posture. Furthermore, when the body portion 12 and the dial portion 13 are relatively rotated to bring the container body 2 into a projecting posture, the engagement protrusion 21 a located at the lower end portion 16 b of the spiral groove 16 is separated from the lower end portion 16 b of the spiral groove 16. It is possible to prevent the container body 2 from returning from the protruding posture to the storing posture due to returning to the upper end portion 16a side. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the engagement between the upper end 15a and the lower end 15b of the vertical groove of the engaging projection 21a in the housing position and the protruding position without using a spring material.

Further, the inner cylinder 21 is formed of a flexible member, and when the left and right of the engagement protrusion 21a slide on the guide groove 17, the first and second stepped portions 17a and 17b can be smoothly exceeded. The inner cylinder 21 can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly change from the stowed posture to the protruding posture and from the protruding posture to the stowing posture.
In addition, when the engagement protrusion 21a exceeds the first and second stepped portions 17a and 17b, a clicking sound is generated to make it comfortable to the user's ear and completely transformed into a storage posture and a protruding posture. The user can recognize that he / she has done, giving the user a sense of security.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the guide tube 14 in which the guide groove 17 is formed and the body portion 12 are integrally rotated, and the body portion 19 in which the vertical hole 19a is formed and the dial portion 13 are integrally rotated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the guide groove 17 is formed in the body portion 19 and rotates integrally with the dial portion 13, and the vertical hole 19 a is formed in the guide tube 14. You may comprise in what rotates integrally with the part 12. FIG.

  Moreover, although the embodiment of the present invention is configured to have two longitudinal grooves 15 as a pair, the number of longitudinal grooves 15 may be one as described above, or may be three or more. If there is only one, the spiral groove 16 has a length that makes one round of the circumference, so that the relative rotation between the body portion 12 and the dial portion 13 is also equivalent to one rotation. Further, since the distance between the spiral grooves 15 is shortened by increasing the number of the longitudinal grooves 15, the relative rotation amount between the body portion 12 and the dial portion 13 can be shortened by doing so.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be used in the field of a stick-shaped cosmetic container for storing cosmetics such as lipstick, nail polish, and foundation.
