Description

  The present invention relates to a container for liquid cosmetics provided with an applicator.

  As a container for liquid cosmetics such as liquid lipstick, mascara, and nail polish, it consists of a bottomed cylindrical container body that contains liquid cosmetics and a cap. A shaft is attached to the cap and applied to the end of the shaft. The application container is provided with a portion, the application portion is inserted into the container body with the container body closed with the cap, and the cap is attached to the end of the shaft portion with the cap removed from the container body. What is used as a holding part of the applicator used as an application part is widely used.

  In such an application container, when the liquid cosmetic material has a high viscosity and low fluidity, the liquid cosmetic material that cannot be attached to the application part and cannot be used up easily tends to remain in the container body. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of residual cosmetics, it has been proposed that a spherical bulge is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth of the container body so that the cap can be swung while the cap is attached to the container body. (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2).

  However, in the above-described liquid cosmetic application container, with the cap attached to the container body, the shaft inserted into the container body swings but does not have a sufficient length. The liquid cosmetic remaining in the corner cannot adhere to the application part. Therefore, liquid cosmetics still remain in the corners of the container body bottom.

  On the other hand, the present invention is a cosmetic body application container in which the application portion at the end of the shaft portion attached to the cap is inserted into the container body, and the liquid cosmetic material accommodated in the container body is attached. An object of the present invention is to make it possible to adhere the liquid cosmetic material accumulated in the corners of the container to the application part, and to reduce the liquid cosmetic material remaining in the container body without being used up.

  The inventor makes it possible to elastically deform the top portion of the cap to which the shaft portion of the applicator is attached and to allow the shaft portion of the applicator to be pushed into the container body with the cap closed with the cap. The liquid cosmetics accumulated in the bottom corners can be attached to the application part at the end of the shaft part, and this can reduce the residual liquid cosmetics that cannot be used at the corners in the container body. I found it.

That is, the present invention has a bottomed cylindrical container main body that stores liquid cosmetics, a cap that seals the upper end opening of the container main body, a shaft portion that is provided with an application portion at one end, and the cap is closed A cosmetic application container in which the application part is inserted into the container body in a state,
A cosmetic applicator container having a cylindrical portion in which a cap is detachably attached to the container body, a top portion that is elastically deformable and has a shaft base attached thereto, and a packing that slidably supports the shaft portion. provide.

  According to the present invention, the top portion of the cap is elastically deformable, and the base portion of the shaft portion is attached thereto, so that the top portion of the cap is pushed in the direction of the container body while the container body is closed with the cap. The shaft portion can be pushed into the container main body, the application portion at the end of the shaft portion can reach the bottom of the container main body, and the shaft portion can be pushed diagonally to reach the corner of the bottom portion. Therefore, the liquid cosmetics accumulated at the corners of the bottom of the container body can be attached to the application part, and the liquid cosmetics remaining in the use body can be reduced.

  Moreover, since the shaft portion can be pushed in by elastic deformation of the top portion of the cap with the cap closed, the liquid cosmetic material does not unnecessarily adhere to the upper end opening of the container body. Furthermore, the shaft portion can be easily pushed with one hand.

  On the other hand, when the pushing of the top part of the cap is released, the top part returns to the position before pushing by elasticity and the shaft part also returns. For this reason, the liquid cosmetics accumulated in the corner of the bottom of the container main body can be easily attached to the application part by simply pushing it in again.

FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a cosmetic application container according to an embodiment with a cap closed. FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view of the cosmetic applicator container of FIG. 1A. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cosmetic application container with the cap removed. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the top of the cap is pushed in the cosmetic application container.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same numerals indicate the same or equivalent components.

  FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a cosmetic application container 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view of the cosmetic application container 1, and FIG. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the state which removed the cap.

  This cosmetic application container 1 is suitably used as a liquid cosmetic such as liquid lipstick, mascara and nail polish, particularly as a container with an application tool for liquid lipstick with high viscosity and low fluidity in order to improve functionality.

  The cosmetic applicator container 1 is provided with a container body 2 having a bottomed cylindrical shape and having an opening at the upper end, a cap 10 that detachably seals the upper end opening of the container main body 2, and an applicator 21 at one end. The shaft portion 20 is provided. In other words, the application portion 21 is connected to one end portion of the shaft portion 20, and the cap 10 is connected to the other end portion.

  The cap 10 has a cylindrical portion 11 that is detachably attached to the container body 2 by screwing, and a substantially hemispherical top portion 12 that is attached to the cylindrical portion 11. The base portion of the shaft portion 20 is fitted and fixed to the cylindrical projecting portion.

  As shown in FIG. 2, when the cap 10 is removed from the container main body 2, an applicator having the cap 10 as a grip portion is configured from the cap 10, the shaft portion 20, and the application portion 21.

  The length of the shaft portion 20 is adjusted so that the tip portion of the application portion 21 is slightly away from the bottom surface of the container body 2 with the cap 10 closing the container body 2. Thereby, at the time of storage of the liquid cosmetics with the container body 2 closed with the cap 10, it is possible to prevent unnecessary deformation such as the application part 21 coming into contact with the bottom part of the container body 2 and bending.

  The application part 21 is formed so as to be insertable into the container body 2 through the packing 13 and the ironing part 3 described later. The specific shape of the application part 21 is appropriately determined depending on whether the cosmetic application container 1 is used for application of liquid lipstick or mascara, and the physical properties of the liquid cosmetic. For example, when used for application of liquid lipstick, it can have a flat ridge shape with a flocked surface.

  On the other hand, the outer shape of the top portion 12 of the cap 10 is made elastically deformable because the base material is formed of an elastically deformable resin.

  Here, the elastically deformable resin forming the base material of the top portion 12 is preferably a resin that can be deformed by pressing the top portion 12, and the cap 10 is applied to the applicator depending on the size of the top portion 12 fitted to the cap 10. It is preferable to have rigidity suitable for use as a gripping portion. If it is too soft, it will be difficult to use the cap 10 as a grip part, and if it is too hard, it will be difficult to deform the top part 12 by pushing. Therefore, the Shore A hardness of the top 12 base material is preferably 60 to 95 Hs, and more preferably 70 to 80 Hs. Examples of the resin that forms the top 12 with such a hardness include rubbers such as nitrile rubber (NBR), butyl rubber (IIR), and silicone rubber, and thermoplastic elastomer resins.

  Further, the cylindrical portion 11 of the cap 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape so as to extend the trunk portion 2b of the container main body 2, and the cylindrical portion 11 has a shaft on the upper end opening of the container main body 2. A packing 13 that slidably supports the portion 20 is attached. By supporting the shaft portion 20 slidably with the packing 13, as shown in FIG. 3, the application portion 21 at the tip end of the shaft portion 20 is moved greatly only by slightly moving the base portion of the shaft portion 20 at the top portion 12. It becomes possible. Further, by supporting the shaft portion 20 with the packing 13, leakage of the liquid cosmetic material from the container body 2 can be reliably prevented.

  It is preferable that the container body 2 is formed of at least the body portion 2b with a transparent resin material so that the remaining state of the liquid cosmetic material inside can be seen through.

  An ironing portion 3 is provided in the upper end opening of the container body 2. The ironing portion 3 is formed of an elastic material into a funnel shape that is reduced in diameter from the upper end portion of the container body toward the inside. The squeezing part 3 is provided to squeeze excess liquid cosmetic from the shaft part 20 and the application part 21 inserted in the container main body 2 and attach an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic to the tip part of the application part 21. .

  The cosmetic application container 1 is used to apply the liquid cosmetic attached to the application part 21 to the application part by removing the cap 10 from the container body 2 and using the cap 10 as a gripping part. , The container body 2 is sealed with the cap 10 and used to store the liquid cosmetic in the container body 2. However, the remaining amount of the liquid cosmetic in the container body 2 decreases, and the application unit 21 When the liquid cosmetic becomes difficult to adhere, the liquid cosmetic remaining in the container body 2 can be used as follows.

  That is, the top portion 12 of the cap 10 can be elastically deformed, the base portion of the shaft portion 20 is fixed thereto, and the shaft portion 20 is slidably supported by the packing 13, so that as shown in FIG. When the cap 10 is pushed into the container body 2 side, the shaft part 20 is pushed into the bottom part side of the container body 2 and the tip part of the application part 21 reaches the corner part 2a of the container body bottom part. At this time, it can also be pushed diagonally. Further, since the top portion 12 is slidably supported by the packing 13, the application portion 21 at the tip end of the shaft portion 20 can be moved greatly only by slightly moving the base portion of the shaft portion 20 with the top portion 12. For this reason, the front-end | tip part of the application part 21 can be easily reached to the bottom part in the container main body 2, and the corner part 2a. Furthermore, by changing the direction of the cap 10 when the container body 2 is closed with the cap 10, the tip of the application part 21 can reach the entire periphery of the corner 2 a in the container body 2. Accordingly, the liquid cosmetic remaining in the corner 2a can be used by adhering to the application portion 21, and the liquid cosmetic remaining without being used up in the container body 2 can be significantly reduced.

  Further, the top portion 12 of the cap 10 can be pushed in easily with one hand as shown by a broken line in FIG. When the pushing of the top portion 12 of the cap 10 is released, the top portion 12 returns to the shape before pushing due to the elasticity of the top portion 12, so that the liquid cosmetic remaining in the container body 2 can be easily removed only by pushing the cap 10 with one hand. Can be reduced.

  The present invention can take various aspects. For example, the shaft portion 20 is provided with a large-diameter portion 22 having an axial symmetry and a polygonal cross section in the axial direction at a position between the ironing portion 3 and the packing 13 in a state where the container body 2 is closed with the cap 10. Is preferred. As the axisymmetric polygonal shape of the large-diameter portion 22, for example, an abacus bead shape in which cones are vertically stacked can be used. As the cosmetic application container 1 is used, when the insertion of the application part 21 into the container main body 2 and the lifting from the container main body 2 are repeated, liquid cosmetics gradually accumulate on the container main body side of the ironing part 3, but the cap The large-diameter portion 22 moves below the ironing portion 3 by pushing the top portion 12 of the ten, so that the liquid cosmetic accumulated on the container main body side of the ironing portion 3 can be moved to the bottom side of the container main body 2. .

  Moreover, the top part 12 of the cap 10 should just be able to push the axial part 20 in the container main body side, and does not need to be a hemispherical type.
