  Here, as in Patent Document 1 described above, when the contents of the container are stirred with a spherical stirring bar, if the contents are liquid, the contents can be stirred well. However, when the content is a powder cosmetic, the powder cosmetic is compressed inside the container due to the movement of the stirrer in the container, and the powder cosmetic is not well stirred and is not easily discharged. There is a problem.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the cosmetics container which can agitate powder cosmetics favorably and can discharge | emit powder cosmetics easily.

  A cosmetic container according to the present invention includes a container body having a housing portion for housing powder cosmetic material, a discharge path for discharging the powder cosmetic material stored in the housing section of the container body, and an outlet of the discharge path. It is characterized by comprising an application body that covers and allows the powder cosmetic to flow out to the outside, and a coiled spring provided in the housing part of the container body.

  According to such a cosmetic container, since the coiled spring is provided in the housing portion, the user shakes the cosmetic container, or vibration is applied to the cosmetic container when the cosmetic container is carried by a handbag or the like. When an external force is applied, the spring expands and contracts in the axial direction, and this expansion and contraction allows the powder cosmetic to be well stirred without being compressed in the container, and the powder cosmetic is easily discharged. it can.

  Here, when the spring is provided so as to be extendable and contractable in the direction in which the discharge path extends and is wound so as to form a rectangular shape in a side view, the powder cosmetics are extended in the extension path when the spring is extended and contracted. It is agitated better in the direction of the direction and is easily guided to the discharge path. Therefore, the powder cosmetic can be discharged more easily.

  In addition, when the spring is provided so as to be expandable and contractable in the direction in which the discharge path extends and is wound so as to form a trapezoidal shape as it approaches the discharge path in a side view, However, it is easily agitated in the extending direction of the discharge path and is easily guided from the lower diameter-reduced portion toward the diameter-expanded portion on the discharge path so as not to come out radially outward of the spring. Therefore, the powder cosmetic can be discharged more easily.

  In addition, when the spring is configured by connecting both ends of the coil spring and having a ring shape in plan view, the powder cosmetic is well stirred in the circumferential direction when the spring expands and contracts. Therefore, the powder cosmetic can be discharged more easily.

  Thus, according to the present invention, the powder cosmetic can be stirred well and the powder cosmetic can be easily discharged.

The upward movement of the (moving unit 3) from the first stop position is stopped. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the convex portion 5h gets over the convex portion 2k of the middle tube portion 2 and enters the concave portion 2g, and comes into contact with the convex portion 2k from below, thereby moving the inner moving body 5 (moving portion 3). ) From the second stop position is stopped.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9 to 11, the discharge cylinder 6 has a cylindrical shape, and its outer diameter is a diameter that can be inserted into the communication hole 2 h of the middle cylinder portion 2, and is inserted into the communication hole 2 h. (See FIG. 5). Further, the discharge tube 6 is provided with an opening (exit) 6a that is open at one end (upper end) and a bottom surface (closed portion) 6b that is closed at the other end (lower end). Further, slits 6c through which the cosmetic A can pass are arranged in parallel along the circumferential direction on the lower side surface of the discharge tube 6 (two in this case). The slit 6c has a substantially rectangular shape that is long in the circumferential direction and laterally long in side view. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, a fitting portion 6 e that fits the projection 5 g of the inner moving body 5 so as not to move in the axial direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the discharge cylinder 6. A seal portion 6d that comes into contact with the receiving portion 2i of the middle tube portion 2 is provided at the lower portion. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the outer diameter of the seal portion 6d of the discharge tube 6 and the inner diameter of the receiving portion 2i of the middle tube portion 2 are substantially the same, and the receiving portion 2i and the seal portion 6d are press-fitted. Due to the fitting, cosmetic A cannot pass therethrough.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the discharge tube 6 is provided with slits 6 f that are vertically long in side view and extend in the upper and lower sides of the upper edge of the slit 6 c so as to communicate with the inside and outside. It has a peripheral wall portion 6g having an arcuate cross section surrounded by a slit 6c having a substantially rectangular shape and slits 6f, 6f that are vertically long in side view. The peripheral wall portion 6g is configured to have radial elasticity with upper end support by slits 6f and 6f on both sides in the circumferential direction. And the claw part 6h which protrudes radially outward along the circumferential direction is provided in the circular arc shape at the lower end of this surrounding wall part 6g. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the claw portion 6 h is disposed so as to be close to the inner peripheral surface of the communication hole 2 h in the middle in the axial direction of the communication hole 2 h of the middle cylinder portion 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the moving part 3 is fitted so that the outer moving body 4 and the inner moving body 5 are immovable in the axial direction by fitting the protruding part 4 d to the fitting part 5 d. 5g is fitted to the fitting part 6e, so that the inner moving body 5 and the discharge cylinder 6 are fitted so as not to move in the axial direction. In this way, the outer moving body 4, the inner moving body 5, and the discharge cylinder 6 are configured to be movable in the same axial direction.

  As described above, the moving part 3 has the discharge cylinder 6 inserted into the communication hole 2h, and the bottom surface part 6b of the discharge cylinder 6 is substantially flush without projecting downward from the bottom surface (end face) of the communication hole 2h. The receiving portion 2i and the seal portion 6d are fitted to each other, and the convex portion 5h is in contact with the step portion 2j (there may be a slight gap), so that the moving portion 3 is in the first stop position. Suppose it is located.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the moving part 3 moves downward in the axial direction and the convex part 5h gets over the convex part 2k and enters the concave part 2g, the discharge cylinder 6 protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length. The slit 6c is exposed from the communication hole 2h. In this way, it is assumed that the moving part 3 is located at the second stop position that the discharge cylinder 6 is in the protruding state for a certain length.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stopper 7 surrounds the outer periphery of the outer cylindrical portion 2 c of the middle cylindrical portion 2, and is sandwiched in the axial direction between the outer movable body 4 and the container main body 1. It is attached to. The stopper 7 has an annular shape when attached to the cosmetic container 100, and has a handle 7a on the outer peripheral surface, and a joint 7b that separates when a predetermined force is applied (see FIG. 12). Is preferably provided at a position facing the handle 7a. For example, when the stopper 7 is mounted on the cosmetic container 100, the joint 7 b of the stopper 7 is held by the user holding the handle 7 a and pulling it horizontally with respect to the axis of the cosmetic container 100. The part 7b is separated and can be detached from the cosmetic container 100.

  FIG. 12 is a view of the stopper 7 from which the joint portion 7b is separated. In FIG. 12, the joint portion 7b is provided at a position opposite to the handle 7a when the stopper 7 has an annular shape. The installation position of the joint portion 7b is not particularly limited. If the joint portion 7b can be separated when the user holds the handle 7a and applies a force in the horizontal direction, the annular stopper 7 can be separated. The joint portion 7b may be provided at any position.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 5, the stopper 7 is sandwiched between the outer moving body 4 and the container body 1 and is attached to the cosmetic container 100. The moving part 3 is not allowed to move downward in the axial direction (it is impossible to move to the container body side), and the axis of the moving part 3 due to the engagement of the convex part 5h and the stepped part 2j in the axial direction. With the impossibility of moving upward in the direction, it is possible to place the moving unit 3 in the first stop position.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the application body 10 includes an elastic portion 8 and an applicator 9. The elastic portion 8 is formed of an elastic body made of a porous material such as urethane foam or NBR that allows the cosmetic material A to pass through. An approximately outflow hole 8a, which is a hole that communicates the opening 6a of the discharge cylinder 6 and the applicator 9, is provided at the approximate center of the elastic portion 8, and a main path for allowing the cosmetic A to flow out to the outside. It has become.

  And the elastic part 8 has a part or all of the bottom part of the elastic part 8 radially inward of the upper part 5a of the inner moving body 5 so that the outflow hole 8a is in a position where it communicates with the opening part 6a of the discharge cylinder 6. It is placed on the inner moving body 5 so as to be sandwiched between the two. In the elastic part 8 placed in this way, the cosmetic A that has passed through the opening 6a of the discharge cylinder 6 can flow out mainly through the outflow hole 8a, but the elastic part 8 is porous. Since it is made of a material, outflow is possible from other than the outflow hole 8a.

  The applicator 9 is for applying the cosmetic A flowing out through the elastic portion 8 to the skin with a good feeling of application, and, like the elastic portion 8, its outer surface bulges outward to form a hemispherical shape. . The applicator 9 has a hemispherical lower portion that is in close contact with the outer side of the elastic portion 8. The outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 5 f of the inner moving body 5 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper cylindrical portion 4 a of the outer moving body 4. Thus, the applicator 9 and the elastic part 8 are mounted on the moving part 3.

  Similar to the elastic part 8, the applicator 9 is made of an elastic body made of a porous material such as foamed urethane or NBR through which the cosmetic A can pass. The applicator 9 is formed by flocking one side of the porous material such as sponge or puff.

  The application body 10 having such a configuration allows the cosmetic A to flow out to the outside and allows the cosmetic A to be applied to the skin or the like that is the surface to be applied. Moreover, since the application body 10 is attached to the moving unit 3, the moving unit 3 moves in the same way when the moving unit 3 moves in the axial direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cap 11 is a cylindrical lid with the upper part closed, and has a female screw (not shown) that engages with the male screw 4 c of the outer moving body 4 on the inner peripheral surface thereof. When the female screw and the male screw 4c are screwed together, the moving screw 3 is mounted.

  Moreover, in the cosmetic container 100 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the coil-shaped spring 30 is provided in the accommodating part 1e of the container main body 1, especially.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 13, the spring 30 is a coil spring having, for example, about 10 turns, and is wound so as to form an annular shape in a plan view and a rectangular shape in a side view.

  The spring 30 has an upper end in contact with the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 2n of the middle tube portion 2 and a lower end in contact with the bottom surface of the storage portion 1e in the container portion 1e of the container body 1, and is radially outward from the discharge tube 6. Direction in which it enters the cosmetic material A while being sandwiched between the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 2n and the bottom surface of the housing portion 1e (axial direction; vertical direction in the figure) It can be stretched.

  In the cosmetic container 100 having the configuration described so far, first, before the start of use, the stopper 7 is mounted as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the moving part 3 is moved downward in the axial direction by the stopper 7. In the first stop position due to the inability to move and the inability to move upward in the axial direction by the convex portion 5h and the step portion 2j.

  In this first stop position, as shown in FIG. 6, the seal portion 6d of the discharge tube 6 of the moving portion 3 and the receiving portion 2i of the cylindrical portion 2a of the middle tube portion 2 are fitted, and the cosmetic A Is impossible to pass. Further, since the closed bottom surface portion 6b of the discharge tube 6 does not protrude downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h, the cosmetic A contained in the container body 1 passes through the communication hole 2h or the discharge tube 6. It is impossible to do. That is, in a state where the stopper 7 is mounted on the cosmetic container 100, the moving part 3 is retained at the first stop position, and the bottom face part 6b serves as a valve for closing the communication hole 2h, and the seal part 6d. And the receiving part 2i are fitted together, so that the cosmetic A contained in the container body 1 is sealed. Thereby, it is at the time of conveyance and preservation | save of cosmetics container 100, and it can prevent cosmetics A being discharged | emitted carelessly from the container main body 1 outside.

  Next, at the start of use, the stopper 7 is first removed while the cap 11 is attached to the cosmetic container 100, and the user pushes the moving part 3 downward with a force of a predetermined magnitude or more. Thereby, as shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8, the moving part 3 is 2nd which the convex part 5h of the inner side moving body 5 gets over the convex part 2k of the intermediate | middle cylinder part 2, enters into the recessed part 2g, and abuts against the container main body 1. Cannot move downward in the axial direction (container main body side) by hitting the container main body 1, and upward in the axial direction by the convex portions 5h and the convex portions 2k (opposite to the container main body side). Is left in the second stop position.

  By the movement of the moving part 3 to the second stop position, the discharge tube 6 protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length, and the slit 6c is exposed from the communication hole 2h. Thereby, cosmetics A will be in the state which can pass the slit 6c, the discharge cylinder 6, and the opening part 6a.

  When the claw portion 6h of the discharge cylinder 6 passes through the receiving portion 2i having a smaller diameter than the other hole diameter of the middle cylinder portion 2, the claw portion 6h bends radially inward, and the moving portion 3 is the second When the claw portion 6h passes through the receiving portion 2i, the claw portion 6h is elastically returned to the original position and is hooked on the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 2n of the middle cylinder portion 2 to be engaged in the axial direction. The moving part 3 cannot be moved to the side opposite to the container body 1 side (upper side in the axial direction). In addition, the moving part 3 may be made immovable to the opposite side to the container main body side only by engagement between the claw part 6h and the bottom surface of the flat plate part 2n. It may be made to function as an auxiliary of engagement with the convex part 2k of the middle cylinder part 2, and furthermore, the engagement by the claw part 6h is mainly used, and the convex part 5h of the inner moving body 5 and the middle cylinder part 2 are used. You may make it function as an auxiliary | assistant engagement with the convex part 2k.

  Thus, by moving the moving part 3 to the 2nd stop position, closure of the communicating hole 2h by the bottom face part 6b is opened (the valve is opened), and the cosmetic A sealed in the container body 1 is used. However, it is possible to be discharged out of the cosmetic container 100 through the slit 6c serving as a discharge path, the discharge cylinder 6, and the opening 6a. And after the moving part 3 moves to the 2nd stop position, the cap 11 is removed from the cosmetics container 100, and preparations for use are completed.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, when the stopper 7 is removed from the cosmetic container 100 and the moving part 3 is in the first stop position, a part of the middle cylinder part 2 is visible. As shown in FIG. 4, after the moving part 3 has moved to the second stop position, the intermediate cylinder part 2 is hidden behind the moving part 3. Therefore, the user determines that the cosmetic container 100 is capable of discharging the cosmetic A by judging from the appearance of the cosmetic container 100 that the moving unit 3 has moved downward in the axial direction (the discharge cylinder 6). Can be confirmed to protrude downward from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length and to expose the slit 6c). Furthermore, when a part or all of the container main body 1 is transparent, it can be directly visually confirmed whether or not the discharge tube 6 protrudes from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h by a certain length.

  Note that when the moving part 3 is moved to the second stop position, the length of the discharge tube 6 protruding from the bottom surface of the communication hole 2h is such that the slit 6c is exposed and an appropriate amount of cosmetic A is available for use by the user. It is sufficient if the length is such that can be discharged. Further, when the cap 11 is removed, the outer movable body 4 (moving part 3) and the middle cylinder part 2 are coupled so as not to be circumferentially rotatable, and the middle cylinder part 2 and the container body 1 are not circumferentially rotatable. Since they are coupled, even if the user holds the container body 1 and rotates the cap 11 in the direction to release the screwing, the moving portion 3 and the middle cylinder portion 2 do not rotate synchronously with the cap 11 and can be easily The cap 11 can be removed from the cosmetic container 100.

  In use, when the application body 10 is lightly struck and pressed against the skin such as the face, the cosmetic A in the container body 1 enters the discharge cylinder 6 through the slit 6c, and the inside of the discharge cylinder 6 It passes through the opening 6a to the applicator 10 and flows out through the elastic portion 8 and the applicator 9 of the porous material constituting the applicator 10, and is used for application. At the time of application, the applicator 9 that is elastically pressed against the skin through the applicator 9 improves the feeling of application and is directly pressed against the skin. Since the application surface (surface) is flocked, the user's feeling of application is further improved.

  At the time of application, since the moving unit 3 is kept at the second stop position, the moving unit 3 unexpectedly stops the first stop while the user is using the cosmetic container 100. Therefore, it is possible to prevent problems such as variations in the discharge amount of the cosmetic A and the cosmetic A not being discharged, and a certain amount of the cosmetic A is always discharged.

  In addition, an outflow hole 8a that communicates the opening 6a and the applicator 9 is formed in the approximate center of the elastic portion 8, and the cosmetic A passes through the outflow hole 8a as a main route and passes through the applicator 9 Out of the material container 100. Since the outflow hole 8a is provided in the elastic portion 8 in this way, the collected amount of the cosmetic A can be guided to an arbitrary place on the surface of the applicator 9, so that the convenience for the user is improved. .

  Moreover, since the elastic part 8 is comprised with the porous material which the cosmetics A can pass, naturally cosmetics A passes through the inside of the elastic parts 8 other than the outflow hole 8a, and passes through the applicator 9. Outflow to the outside of the cosmetic container 100 is also possible.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when an external force is applied to the cosmetic container 100 when the user shakes the cosmetic container 100 or vibration is applied to the cosmetic container 100 when the user carries it with a handbag or the like. The coiled spring 30 in the accommodating portion 1e expands and contracts in the axial direction due to its elastic force. And the cosmetics A are favorably agitated by the expansion and contraction of the spring 30 without being compressed in the housing portion 1e. Therefore, the cosmetic A can be easily discharged.

  In the present embodiment, the spring 30 is provided so as to be extendable and contractable in the direction in which the discharge path extends, and is wound so as to form a rectangular shape in a side view. Is better agitated in the extending direction of the discharge path and easily guided to the discharge path. Therefore, the cosmetic A can be discharged more easily.

  In this way, when the spring 30 is used, the stirrer does not collide with the inner wall of the housing portion 1e as in the case of using a spherical stirrer, for example, so the user shakes the container body 1. When the external force is applied, the collision sound can be eliminated. Further, when a spherical stirring bar is used, the slit 6c of the discharge tube 6 may be blocked. However, when the spring 30 is used as in this embodiment, such a situation does not occur.

  FIG. 14 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a cosmetic container according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a side view of the spring in FIG.

  The cosmetic container 200 according to the second embodiment is different from the cosmetic container 100 according to the first embodiment in that, instead of the coiled spring 30, the discharge path (slit 6 c, inside the discharge cylinder 6, opening) in the side view. 6a) is a point using a coiled spring 40 which is wound so as to spread and form a trapezoidal shape as it approaches (upward).

  This spring 40 is a conical coil spring formed in a spiral shape in plan view. Like the spring 30, the upper end of the enlarged diameter portion is located on the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 2 n of the middle cylinder portion 2 in the housing portion 1 e of the container body 1. The lower end of the reduced diameter portion is in contact with the bottom surface of the housing portion 1e, and is sandwiched between the bottom surface of the flat plate portion 2n located radially outside the discharge tube 6 and the bottom surface of the housing portion 1e. It enters the cosmetic A in a state and can be expanded and contracted in the direction (axial direction) in which the discharge path extends.

  According to the cosmetic container 200 having such a spring 40, when an external force is applied to the container main body 1 by a user shaking the container main body 1, the spring 40 extends the discharge path by the elastic force. By expanding and contracting in the present direction, the cosmetic 40 is well stirred in the extending direction of the discharge tube 6 without being compressed in the housing portion 1e by the expansion and contraction of the spring 40, and the lower diameter-reduced portion Is easily guided from the radial direction of the spring 40 toward the enlarged diameter portion on the discharge path side. Therefore, the cosmetic A can be discharged more easily.

  Further, when the spring 40 is used, it is possible to eliminate a collision sound such as when the user shakes the container body 1, and the same effect as that of the spring 30 that the situation where the slit 6c of the discharge cylinder 6 is not blocked occurs. can get.

  16 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a cosmetic container according to a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 17 is a side view of the spring in FIG. 16, and FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the configuration of the spring in FIG. It is explanatory drawing and a top view.

  The cosmetic container 300 according to the third embodiment is different from the cosmetic container 100 according to the first embodiment in that a coiled spring 50 that is ring-shaped in plan view is used instead of the coiled spring 30. It was a point.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the spring 50 is configured by connecting both ends 50 a and 50 b of a linearly extending coil spring, and has a ring shape in plan view. The spring 50 is accommodated inside the accommodating portion 1e of the container body 1 together with the cosmetic A.

  According to the cosmetic container 300 provided with such a spring 50, when an external force is applied to the container main body 1 by a user shaking the container main body 1, the spring 50 is moved in the circumferential direction (spring 50), the cosmetic A is well stirred in the circumferential direction without being compressed in the housing portion 1e. Therefore, the cosmetic A can be discharged more easily.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was concretely demonstrated based on the embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, the springs 30, 40, and 50 of the above embodiment may be fixed and supported in a retractable manner inside the housing portion 1 e, for example, or may be expanded and contracted in the horizontal direction or a plurality of springs may be used. Good. In short, the shape, expansion / contraction direction, arrangement mode, and number of springs can be changed as appropriate.

  In addition, the shape of the slit 6c is configured in a substantially rectangular shape that is horizontally long when viewed from the side. However, the shape is not limited to this shape. A rhombus etc. may be sufficient.
