Description

  The present invention relates to an applicator-equipped container having a container body that contains a content liquid and an applicator for applying the content liquid.

  Conventionally, in a container for storing a content liquid such as a mascara or an eyeliner, for example, a container main body that stores the content liquid, a cap that is detachably attached to the container main body, and one end portion held by the cap inside the container main body And a connecting member having an applicator such as a brush for applying the content liquid to the other end of the container. In such a container with an applicator, a container having an ironing member having an elastic inclined wall capable of scraping off the content liquid adhering to the applicator is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). According to the applicator-equipped container provided with such a squeezing member, the applicator can be removed by pulling out the applicator from the opening of the elastic inclined wall or removing the applicator once extracted from the opening when removing the cap. Since an unnecessary content liquid adhering to the surface can be scraped off, an appropriate amount of the content liquid can be applied.

JP-A-11-155629

  As disclosed in Patent Document 1, this type of applicator-equipped container is provided with a male screw and a female screw between the container main body and the cap, and the cap can be removed by rotating the cap with respect to the container main body. I have to. By the way, since the content liquid adheres to the ironing member by scraping off the content liquid of the applicator, when the cap is attached to the container body, the content liquid of the ironing member also adheres to the connecting member and solidifies as it is. May end up. When the cap is rotated to remove the cap from the container main body in this state, the connecting member that rotates in conjunction with the cap rotates the ironing member together through the solidified liquid, thereby deforming the ironing member and deforming the container. Sometimes it came off the main body. In particular, when a quick-drying liquid such as mascara is used as the content liquid, such a problem tends to occur.

  An object of the present invention is to solve such problems, and prevents a problem that the ironing member is detached from the container body even when the content liquid adhering to the ironing member is solidified with the connecting member. It aims at providing the container with an applicator which can do.

The present invention includes a container main body that contains the content liquid and has a male screw at the mouth, a cap that has a female screw that fits the male screw, and is detachably attached to the container main body, and one end portion held by the cap. A connecting member that is suspended in the container body and has an applicator for applying the content liquid to the other end, and the connecting member that is provided at the mouth and the cap is attached to the container body An applicator-equipped container having an opening that allows the content liquid attached to the applicator to be scraped off at the edge of the opening,
One of the connecting member and the cap presses against the other peripheral surface of the connecting member and the cap to hold the connecting member against the cap while the cap from the container body The container with the applicator has a first protrusion that allows the cap to idle with respect to the connecting member when a resistance of a predetermined level or more acts between the connecting member and the ironing member when removing the cap.

  It is preferable that either one of the connecting member and the cap has a second protrusion that is linked to the first protrusion and holds the connecting member against the cap.

The cap has at least one third protrusion on the inner peripheral surface of the cap;
The connecting member preferably has a fourth protrusion that protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface of the cap, and that climbs over the third protrusion with a predetermined resistance when the cap idles with respect to the connecting member.

  In the container with an applicator according to the present invention, either the connecting member or the cap is pressed against one of the other peripheral surfaces to hold the connecting member against the cap, and from the container body. When removing a cap, when the resistance more than predetermined acts between a connection member and an ironing member, the 1st protrusion which accept | permits idling of a cap with respect to a connection member is provided. That is, even if the content liquid adhering to the ironing member is solidified with the connecting member, when removing the cap, only the cap can be idled without rotating the connecting member. There is nothing to do. Thereby, since a deformation | transformation of an ironing member can be prevented, the malfunction from which an ironing member remove | deviates from a container main body can be prevented. Further, since the first protrusion normally holds the connecting member against the cap, the cap does not run idle when the content liquid adhered to the applicator is applied.

  When the second protrusion is provided on the other of the connecting member and the cap, the connecting member can be held against the cap. In addition, since the cap rises with respect to the container body when the cap is loosened, the connecting member also rises due to the linkage of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. That is, since the connecting member can be pulled up without rotating, the connecting member and the ironing member can be peeled off without twisting the ironing member.

  At least one third protrusion is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cap, and the connecting member protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface of the cap so that the third protrusion gets over the third protrusion with a predetermined resistance when the cap idles with respect to the connecting member. When the fourth protrusion is provided, even when a slightly strong sliding resistance is applied between the connecting member and the ironing member when the cap is attached to the container body, the third protrusion and the fourth protrusion are linked together, so that the cap And the connecting member can be integrally rotated. Thereby, compared with the case where a cap idles with respect to a connection member, a cap can be mounted | worn with a smaller force. On the other hand, when the content liquid is solidified and a resistance of a predetermined level or more acts between the connecting member and the ironing member, the third protrusion gets over the fourth protrusion, so the cap idles with respect to the connecting member and the ironing member Will not be deformed.

Further, (a) is an enlarged view showing the relationship between the cap and the connecting member in the half sectional view, and (b) is an enlarged view showing the relationship between the connecting member and the ironing member. It is a half sectional view in side view which shows other embodiment of the container with an applicator according to this invention. It is sectional drawing which follows AA shown to the enlarged view of FIG.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a container with an applicator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the relationship between “upper” and “lower” in the present specification, claims, and abstract is the state in which the container with applicator is in an upright posture as shown in FIG. 1 (the container body is on the lower side, The positional relationship in a state where the cap is located on the upper side. Further, the circumferential direction is a direction around the central axis (indicated by symbol O in FIG. 1) of the container with applicator, and the radial direction is a direction perpendicular to the central axis O.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the container with an applicator according to this embodiment includes a container main body 1, a cap 2, a connecting member 3, an applicator 4, and an ironing member 5.

  The container main body 1 has a bottomed cylindrical shape and accommodates the content liquid. Examples of the content liquid stored in the container body 1 include cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss, as well as chemicals, adhesives, and cleaning liquids. The container main body 1 of this embodiment has a cylindrical barrel portion 1b connected to a disc-shaped bottom portion 1a, and a mouth portion having a smaller diameter than the barrel portion 1b via a shoulder portion 1c above the trunk portion 1b. 1d is connected. A male screw 1e is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mouth 1d.

  The cap 2 has a covered cylinder shape and is detachably attached to the container body 1. The cap 2 of the present embodiment includes an outer peripheral wall 2a that is cylindrical and has a shape continuous with the body portion 1b, and a top wall 2b that closes the upper end of the outer peripheral wall 2a. A female screw 2c that fits the male screw 1e is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 2a.

  The connecting member 3 has a substantially rod shape, and has a large-diameter cylindrical wall 3a at an upper portion (one end portion of the connecting member 3), and a cylindrical main body 3b at the lower end of the cylindrical wall 3a. . The main body portion 3b includes a bulging portion 3c that protrudes radially outward at the upper portion thereof, and a fitting hole 3d extending along the central axis O at the lower portion (the other end portion of the connecting member 3). I have.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1A, the connecting member 3 includes a protrusion (first protrusion) 3 e that presses against the inner peripheral surface of the cap 2 with a flat surface. The cap 2 includes a protrusion (second protrusion) 2d that is located immediately below the first protrusion 3e and whose curved surface is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 3a. When the first protrusion 3e and the second protrusion 2d are linked, the connecting member 3 is prevented from coming off by the cap 2 and is suspended and held in the container body 1. The cap 2 is provided above the step 2e that contacts the upper surface of the cylindrical wall 3a and the first protrusion 3e with a space therebetween, and a protrusion (backlash) whose curved surface contacts the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 3a. 2f). As a result, the connecting member 3 is held against the cap 2 without rattling.

  The applicator 4 includes an application part 4a for applying the content liquid and a rod-like connection part 4b connected to the application part 4a. The connection part 4b is inserted into the fitting hole 3d to be connected to the connection member 3. Retained. The application unit 4a is provided in, for example, a brush shape, a sponge shape, or a brush shape, and an optimum one is appropriately selected according to the type of the content liquid and the portion to which the content liquid is applied.

  The ironing member 5 is provided at the mouth 1d of the container body 1 and is formed of a soft member such as rubber or elastomer. Moreover, the ironing member 5 is provided with the elastic inclination wall 5a which inclines downward as it goes inside radial direction, and as shown to FIG.1 (b), the cap 2 is attached to a container main body in the center part of the elastic inclination wall 5a. 1 is provided with an opening 5b through which the main body 3b of the connecting member 3 is inserted. According to such an elastic inclined wall 5a, the cap 2 is removed and the applicator 4 is pulled out from the opening 5b, or the applicator 4 once pulled out is inserted into and removed from the opening 5b, thereby adhering to the applicator 4. The unnecessary content liquid can be scraped off at the edge of the opening 5b. Further, when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 1, the bulging portion 3c of the connecting member 3 is positioned along the elastic inclined wall 5a, so that the elastic inclined wall 5a is rolled and deformed. Can be prevented.

  The ironing member 5 includes a cylindrical tubular wall 5c extending along the inner peripheral surface of the mouth portion 1d, and the elastic inclined wall 5a is integrally connected to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 5c. ing. The cylindrical wall 5c is integrally connected at its lower end with a claw 5d that engages with the inner surface of the shoulder 1c. The upper end of the cylindrical wall 5c extends radially outward and extends at the upper end of the mouth 1d. The flange 5e covering the part is integrally connected. As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the flange 5 e is in close contact with the lower surface of the cylindrical wall 3 a so as to be crushed when the cap 2 is mounted on the container body 1. A seal portion 5f is provided to keep the airtight. Note that the seal portion 5f shown in phantom in FIG. 1B shows a state before the cap 2 is attached (before being crushed).

  According to the container with an applicator of the present embodiment, the first protrusion 3e presses against the inner peripheral surface of the cap 2 with a flat surface, so that the connecting member 3 is held against the cap 2 by rotation. On the other hand, when the cap 2 is rotated to remove the cap 2 from the container body 1, if the content liquid adhering to the ironing member 5 is solidified with the connecting member 3, the solidified content liquid is applied to the connecting member 3. Since the resistance from the ironing member 5 works through the cap 2, the cap 2 idles relative to the connecting member 3. That is, since it is possible to prevent the ironing member 5 from rotating together with the rotation of the cap 2, deformation of the ironing member 5 is suppressed and it is difficult to come off the container body 1. Since the movement along the central axis O is regulated by the claw portion 5d and the flange 5e as shown in FIG. 1, the ironing member 5 of the present embodiment is less likely to be detached from the container body 1. In addition, while the connection member 3 is prevented from rotating with respect to the cap 2, the function of causing the cap 2 to idle when the internal solution is solidified between the connection member 3 and the ironing member 5 is the area of the first protrusion 3e, It is possible to adjust to the optimum state by changing the amount of pressing.

  Next, another embodiment of the container with an applicator according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the site | part which has the same function as above-mentioned embodiment attaches | subjects the same code | symbol in drawing, and abbreviate | omits detailed description.

  The first protrusion 3e of the present embodiment has a flat surface smaller than the first protrusion 3e in the above-described embodiment. Even in this case, the connecting member 3 is prevented from rotating with respect to the cap 2 when the inner solution is applied by the applicator 4. The cap 2 has at least one protrusion (third protrusion) 2g that protrudes while being curved inward in the radial direction (in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. There are a total of 8). A protrusion (fourth protrusion) 3 f that protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface of the cap 2 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 3. Here, the fourth protrusion 3f is provided in the form of a vertical rib extending along the central axis O. Further, the protruding amounts of the third protrusion 2g and the fourth protrusion 3f are adjusted so that the cap 2 can get over with a predetermined drag force when the cap 2 idles with respect to the connecting member 3.

  According to the container with an applicator having such a configuration, when a slightly strong sliding resistance is generated between the connecting member 3 and the ironing member 5 when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 1, the first protrusion 3e is Although the third protrusion 2g and the fourth protrusion 3f are linked with a predetermined drag force, the connecting member 3 can be rotated together with the cap 2, although there is a risk of slipping with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the second member. That is, when the cap 2 is idle with respect to the connecting member 3 when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 1, the cap 2 and the connecting member 3 move differently (the cap 2 is at the center). The connecting member 3 is lowered along the central axis O without rotating, but the loss is generated and an extra force is required. When the protrusion 2g and the fourth protrusion 3f are linked, the cap 2 and the connecting member 3 move together, so that the cap 2 can be tightened with a smaller force. When removing the cap 2 from the container body 1, when the content liquid adhering to the ironing member 5 is solidified and a resistance greater than a predetermined value acts between the connecting member 3 and the ironing member 5, the third protrusion 2 g Since the cap 2 slips over the connecting member 3 over the fourth protrusion 3f, the ironing member 5 can be prevented from being deformed.

  The container with an applicator according to the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described so far, but includes those with various modifications within the scope of the claims. For example, the first protrusion 3e provided on the connecting member 3 is provided on the cap 2 and pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 3 (the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 3a), and the second protrusion 2d provided on the cap 2 is provided. You may make it provide in the connection member 3. FIG. In this case, in order to prevent the connecting member from coming off from the cap, the second protrusion of the connecting member is preferably provided immediately above the first protrusion of the cap. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the backlash protrusion 2 f provided on the cap 2 may be provided on the connecting member 3. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the fourth protrusion 3f is in the form of a vertical rib. However, the length along the central axis O may be shortened to be the same as the third protrusion 2g.
