Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid cosmetic application container integrally including a liquid cosmetic application body for applying liquid cosmetic such as mascara.

  For example, a liquid cosmetic application body for applying mascara is provided in a liquid cosmetic application container for mascara. The liquid cosmetic application body includes a plastic core and a brush made of hair extending radially from the core, or a plurality of comb teeth having through holes on the upper surface of the support member. In general, these are integrally formed (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

  However, since the liquid cosmetic applicator is formed integrally, the direction and pitch of the hair or comb teeth forming the brush cannot be changed, and the liquid cosmetic applied by the user to the brush is applied. It is necessary to adjust the direction and the amount of the liquid cosmetic appropriately.

That is, since the direction in which the eyelash grows varies, when applying the mascara uniformly to the eyelash, the liquid cosmetic application body should be arranged so that the hair forming the brush or the comb teeth is along the direction in which the eyelash grows. It is necessary to change the direction to move or move appropriately.
In addition, when applying mascara to eyelashes, even if the hair or comb tooth pitch is optimal for applying mascara thickly, when applying mascara thinly, the hair or comb forming brush is appropriate. The amount of mascara to treat and impregnate the teeth must be adjusted. On the other hand, even if the pitch of the hair or comb teeth that is the best brush for applying mascara thinly, when mascara is applied thickly, it must be repeatedly applied to the required thickness. .

The part division body 12a moves forward or backward, and the two application part division bodies 12a and 12b are positioned so as to be displaced from each other. As a result, the comb teeth 13 formed between the two application part divided bodies 12a and 12b constituting the application part 12 are arranged in the right downward or right upward direction with respect to the holding shaft 9 axis tip direction. By moving the application part 12 linearly, the comb teeth 13 move along the eyelashes growing obliquely with respect to the eyes, so that the mascara 3 can be applied uniformly [FIG. (See (b) and (c)).

  FIG. 6 shows a liquid cosmetic application container 1 ′ according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and the configuration of the liquid cosmetic container according to the first embodiment is almost the same including the application container main body 2 and the cap 7 ′. 1 in common.

  However, the liquid cosmetic application container 1 ′ according to the second embodiment of the present invention is different in the structures of the advance / retreat mechanism 10 ′ provided in the cap 7 ′ and the comb teeth 13 ′ formed in the application part 12 ′. It is.

  Here, the advance / retreat mechanism 10 'in the liquid cosmetic application container 1' according to the second embodiment is as shown in FIG. That is, a rotation switch 10'a that is rotatable in the circumferential direction between the marks is disposed at the end of the cap 7 '. The base portion 9 a of the holding shaft 9 is held in the cap 7 ′, and the rear end portion 11 b of the advancing / retracting shaft 11 inserted through the holding shaft 9 is packed inside the base portion 9 a of the holding shaft 9. The holding shaft 9 is held so as to be able to advance and retract in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the rotation switch 10′a of the cap 7 ′ and the rear end portion 11b of the advance / retreat shaft 11 are fixed to be non-rotatable via a screw rod 14 in which a male screw portion 14a is screwed on the outer peripheral surface. The male screw portion 14a of the screw rod 14 and the female screw portion 9b screwed on the inner peripheral surface of the base portion 9a of the holding shaft 9 are screwed together. As a result, by the rotation of the rotary switch 10'a, the male screw portion 14a of the screw rod 14 integrated with the rotary switch 10'a and the female screw portion 9b screwed on the inner peripheral surface of the root portion 9a of the holding shaft 9 are obtained. The screw rod 14 is retracted or advanced along the axial direction of the holding shaft 9, and the advancing / retracting shaft 11 having the rear end portion 11 b integrated with the screw rod 14 is also retracted together. Or move forward. Accordingly, one application part divided body 12'a constituting the application part 12 'integrally connected to the advance / retreat shaft 11 moves backward or forward relative to the other application part divided body 12'b, and both application parts The divided bodies 12′a and 12′b are positioned symmetrically or so as to be displaced from each other.

  Further, a plurality of needle-like comb teeth 13 ′ of the application part 12 ′ are erected at a fixed pitch on each application part divided body constituting the application part 12 ′ (see FIG. 9).

Since the liquid cosmetic application container 1 ′ according to the second embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, the mascara 3 is applied as follows.
First, in the application section 12 ′, the two coating division bodies 12′a and 12′b are positioned symmetrically, so that the two coating section division bodies 12′a and 12′b have a constant pitch. A plurality of comb teeth 13 ′ are arranged so as to coincide with each other when viewed from the side. As a result, when applying the mascara 3 to the eyelashes, the pitch between the comb teeth 13 ′ of the application part 12 ′ becomes maximum, so that the mascara 3 can be held between the comb teeth 13 ′, and the eyelashes On the other hand, the mascara 3 can be applied thickly. Furthermore, since the mascara 3 can be applied while collecting several eyelashes between the comb teeth 13 ′ by maximizing the pitch between the comb teeth 13 ′ of the application part 12 ′, a volume effect that makes the eyelashes appear thicker is provided. (See FIG. 10 (a)).

  When thinly applying the mascara 3 to the eyelashes, by rotating the rotary switch 10'a, one application part divided body that is integrally connected to the advance / retreat shaft 11 of the advance / retreat mechanism 10 '. 12'a moves backward or forward, and the two application part divided bodies 12'a and 12'b are positioned so as to be displaced from each other. That is, a plurality of comb teeth 13 ′ standing upright at a constant pitch in the two application part division bodies 12 ′ a and 12 ′ b are comb teeth formed on one application part division body 12 ′ a from the side surface direction. The comb teeth 13 ′ formed on the other application part divided body 12 ′ b are located between the 13 ′. As a result, when the mascara 3 is applied to the eyelashes, the pitch between the comb teeth 13 ′ of the application part 12 ′ becomes smaller when viewed from the side, so that the comb teeth 13 ′ are easily contacted by the eyelashes. The mascara 3 can be applied thinly. Furthermore, since the pitch between the comb teeth 13 ′ of the application part 12 ′ is minimized when viewed from the side, the comb teeth 13 ′ can comb the eyelashes one by one when applying the mascara 3. A separate effect can be given (see FIG. 10B).

  Since the liquid cosmetic application container of the present invention can change the direction and pitch of the comb teeth forming the application part, the application container having comb teeth that can apply not only cosmetics but also hair dyes and the like Can be applied to.
