The eye shadow brush that has the shape similar to the paint brush shown in the background art above is stored and used by putting it in another container or standing without protecting the brush part when not in use. Sometimes it is taken out from the container or the like and used. Since the paint brush is washed after use, the surroundings will not be contaminated with paint during storage, but the eye shadow brush is not washed after use. When it is carried in a case, the eye shadow attached to the brush on the inner surface of the bag or the like is contaminated, and such an eye shadow brush has never been easy to carry.
In addition, during storage, when the external force is applied to the brush bristle part of the beat, the entire brush bristle part is deformed, or part of the hair is bent and oriented in a direction different from other hairs. There is a possibility of becoming. And with such a brush, it becomes difficult to make the makeup intended at the time of makeup.

  A liquid cosmetic applicator that stores liquid cosmetic in a cylindrical container, has brush means on the cylindrical container, and can supply the liquid cosmetic in the cylindrical container from the location where the brush means is provided. Although it may be good that liquid cosmetics can be supplied from the inside, it is not possible to store the brush means in the cylindrical container, and the brush means is covered with a lid provided separately at the time of storage. is necessary. In addition, the cosmetics that can be applied by the brush means are limited to liquid cosmetics in a cylindrical container that was integrated at the time of purchase.

  In the cosmetic container with a brush shown in the background art, the brush itself can move with respect to the outer cylinder, but is not housed in the outer cylinder, and is always located outside the outer cylinder. Is. And it is for making it adhere with the cosmetics in a cylindrical lid | cover, and it is necessary to cover so that the cosmetics adhering to the brush at the time of storage may not contaminate the circumference | surroundings.

  In view of the above-mentioned background art, the problem to be solved by the present invention is that the cosmetic brush can be brought into the housed state with a simpler mechanism, and does not particularly require a lid member in the housed state, and quickly. Since the cosmetics to be used are not provided integrally with the cosmetic brush, the brushes can be arbitrarily selected at the time of makeup.

In order to solve the above problems, the following means are adopted.
1. A brush body is accommodated in the cylindrical container so as to be slidable in the length direction of the cylindrical container, and the brush body is disposed at each of a position when the brush body is stored and a position when the brush body is used. A cosmetic brush provided with a mechanism for fixing a body to the cylindrical container.
2. A slit extending in the length direction of the cylindrical container is provided on the side surface of the cylindrical container, and a convex portion is provided on the side surface of the brush body, and the convex portion is directed from the inside to the outside of the cylindrical container of the slit. When the top of the convex portion protrudes from the outer surface of the cylindrical container and the convex portion is located at one end of the slit, the brush body is in a position to be accommodated in the cylindrical container. The cosmetic brush according to 1, wherein when the convex portion is located at the other end, the brush of the brush body is located outside the one end of the cylindrical container and is in a use position.
3. The cosmetic brush according to 1 or 2, wherein a biasing member is provided at the other end of the cylindrical container, and the biasing member biases the brush body toward one end of the cylindrical container.
4). The cosmetic brush according to any one of 1 to 3, which does not have a container for storing cosmetics.

The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The cosmetic brush 1 of the present invention has the appearance shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the cosmetic brush 1 includes a brush body 2 and a cylindrical container 3. A brush 4 is provided at the tip of the brush body 2 to carry cosmetics and apply it on the skin. The brush 4 may be flat or circular as illustrated in FIG.
Furthermore, examples of cosmetics using the cosmetic brush of the present invention include eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and the like, and eye shadow is particularly preferable.
Since the cosmetic brush of the present invention does not store cosmetics in the cosmetic brush, it is necessary to attach the brush part of the cosmetic brush to a container filled with cosmetics prepared separately when used. Become.
The brush body 2 includes a brush 4 and a holding portion 5 for holding the brush 4, and the mechanism for holding the brush 4 by the holding portion 5 is the same means as the brush holding means in a normal cosmetic brush. It is possible to employ a means such as bonding, welding, caulking, or crimping the bundled brush 4 to the tip of the holding portion 5.

The cylindrical container 3 and the holding part 5 are not particularly limited as long as they are materials that can give the necessary strength to the cosmetic brush of the present invention, and are independently selected from any of polyolefin, polyester, polyamide, ABS, etc. These resins and metals such as aluminum and stainless steel can be selected and used.
If possible, pottery, wood, bamboo, etc. can be used.

  The material that can be used as the brush 4 is the same as that of a normal cosmetic brush, and polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, animal hair, and the like can be used.

The holding part 5 of the brush body 2 is accommodated in the cylindrical container 3 so as to be slidable.
FIG. 1B shows a state in which a part of the brush body 2 is inserted and stored in the cylindrical container 3 when not in use.

  At this time, a slit 6 is formed in the cylindrical container 3 shown in FIG. The slit 6 is a hole provided in the wall of the cylindrical container 3 in the length direction of the cylindrical container.

1A and 1B show a convex portion 7 formed on the brush body 2, and the convex portion 7 is formed in the cosmetic brush 1 when the cosmetic brush is used, as shown in FIG. 1C. The brush body 2 is biased toward the outside of the cosmetic brush 1 by a biasing member 8 such as a provided spring. This biased state is one of the mechanisms for fixing the brush body 2 to the cylindrical container.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the cosmetic brush of the present invention can simply provide the slit 6 in a straight line without bending both ends of the slit 6 in a right angle direction.

The cosmetic brush 1 according to the present invention is such that the brush body 2 is inserted into the cylindrical container 3. When the brush body 2 is inserted when not in use, for example, a protrusion urged by the urging member is used. The brush body 2 is inserted into the cylindrical member 3 while the brush body 2 is pushed into the cylindrical member 3 with the fingertip or the like.
When the brush body 2 moves in the cylindrical container 3, as a result, the projection 7 can only move in the slit 6 by fitting the projection 7 into the slit 6. Further, the movement range of the brush body 2 with respect to the cylindrical member 3 is limited.

When the cosmetic brush is not used, the lid 9 is put on the brush body 2, and in this state, the opening end of the lid 9 is the other end of the slit 6 while pushing the projection 7, and the brush body 2 Move to the storage position.
As a result, when the brush body 2 is housed in the cylindrical container 3 and the lid 9 is made of resin, the brush body 2 is provided near the opening end of the lid 9 by utilizing the flexibility and elasticity of the lid 9. The cylindrical container 3 can be provided with a convex portion 9a and a convex portion 3a that can be fitted to the convex portion 9a at a position where the brush body 2 can be sealed with the lid 9. And these convex part 9a and convex part 3a are one of the mechanisms which fix the brush body 2 with respect to this cylindrical container 3 at the time of non-use. In addition, it is preferable that the convex part 9a and the convex part 3a are each formed over the perimeter.
Moreover, as a modification, one of the convex portion 9a and the convex portion 3a can be a concave portion instead of the convex portion, and in this case, the brush body 2 is fixed to the cylindrical container 3 when not in use. In this case, one convex portion is located in the other concave portion.
By providing a convex portion and / or a concave portion in the vicinity of the opening end and providing the cylindrical container 3 with a convex portion and / or a concave portion that can be engaged with the convex portion and / or the concave portion, the brush body 2 is accommodated, and the lid 9 is fixed to the cylindrical container 3 at a place where the lid 9 reliably covers the cylindrical container 3. At the same time, the brush body 2 is also fixed to the cylindrical container 3 at a non-use position. The mechanism for fixing the brush body 2 to the cylindrical container 3 at this time is fixing the convex portion 7 by the slit 6 and the lid 9. This fixed state is one of the mechanisms for fixing the brush body 2 to the cylindrical container 3 when not in use.
In use, the lid 9 is gripped by a fingertip and moved in a direction away from the cylindrical container 3 with a slight force, so that the convex part and / or the concave part of the lid 9 and the cylindrical container 3 are provided. Engagement with the above-mentioned convex part and / or concave part is released, the lid 9 is opened, and the convex part 7 moves through the slit 6 so that the brush body 2 is fixed at the position in use. As a mechanism for fixing the brush body 2 to the cylindrical container 3 at this time, the slit 6 is biased by a spring 8.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, an enlarged diameter portion 10 is provided in the vicinity of the end of the slit 6 of the cylindrical container 3, and the end of the lid 9 is moved to move the brush body 2 to the storage position after use. While pushing the convex portion 7, the open end of the lid 9 is positioned at the enlarged diameter portion 10. At this time, when at least one of the opening end and the enlarged diameter portion 10 has elasticity or can be deformed by force, by pressing the opening end of the lid 9 against the enlarged diameter portion 10, Both can be fixed to each other. This is one of the mechanisms for fixing the brush body 2 to the cylindrical container 3 when not in use. The force caused by the fixation at this time is inadvertently expanded from the open end when the cosmetic brush is not in use. It is necessary that the diameter portion 10 is not separated and that the fixed state between the open end and the diameter-expanded portion 10 is eliminated with an appropriate force of the fingertip during use.

  The brush body 2 is inserted into the cylindrical container 3, the convex part 7 is located at the end of the slit 6 on the front end side of the cylindrical container 3, and the slit 6 is locked and fixed at a location where the slit 6 bends substantially at a right angle. FIG. 3 shows this state. This state is a state where the cosmetic brush 1 can be used, and the brush 4 at the tip of the brush body 2 is located outside the cylindrical container 3. In this state, the brush 4 is exposed to the outside, and makeup can be performed with the brush 4.

  FIG. 4A shows the cylindrical container 3 when both ends of the slit 6 are bent at substantially right angles in the cosmetic brush 1 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4B shows the brush body 2 positioned therein. The structure of the brush body 2 shown in FIG. 4B is the same as that of the brush body used in the cosmetic brush of FIGS. 1 and 2, but the cylindrical container 3 shown in FIG.

In FIG. 5, the brush body 2 is accommodated in the cylindrical container 3, the convex portion 7 is located at the end of the slit 6 on the rear end side of the cylindrical container 3, and the slit 6 is bent at a substantially right angle. The locked and fixed state is shown. This state is a state in which the makeup brush 1 is not used, and the brush 4 at the tip of the brush body 2 is located in the cylindrical container 3. In this state, the brush 4 is not exposed to the outside. Therefore, especially when the brush body 2 is not exposed from the cylindrical container 3, even if the cosmetic brush 1 is stored in a bag or the like, the inside of the bag is not contaminated by the attached cosmetic material.
Moreover, since the convex part 7 is latched in the slit 6 bent at a right angle, the brush body 2 does not move carelessly, so the brush body 2 is unintentionally exposed from the cylindrical container 3. There is nothing. The state in which the convex portion 7 is locked to both end portions of the slit 6 during such use and non-use is one of the mechanisms for fixing the brush body 2 to the cylindrical container 3 in the present invention.

Next, the figure which shows the inside of the cosmetic brush 1 of this invention is shown as FIG. 6A and B. FIG.
FIG. 6A is a diagram in a state where the brush 4 is out and the cosmetic brush 1 is used, and FIG. 6B is a diagram in a state where the cosmetic brush 1 is not used because the brush 4 is not out.
A spring 8 is provided in the cylindrical container 3. One end of the spring 8 is located at the end where the end of the cylindrical container 3 is closed, and the other end is attached to the end of the brush body 2. Close contact.
In FIG. 6A, the brush body 2 is urged against the outside of the cylindrical container 3 by the spring 8, and the convex portion 7 is positioned at the end of the slit 6, thereby further increasing the outside of the cylindrical container 3. The brush body 2 is never located on the surface. The brush body 2 is urged by the spring 8 so that the brush body 2 is fixed with respect to the cylindrical container 3. It can be carried out.

On the other hand, in FIG. 6B in which the cosmetic brush 1 is not used, for example, from the time of use shown in FIG. 6A, the user moves the convex portion 7 along the slit 6 along the slit 6 with the fingertip or the like. The brush body 2 itself is also moved so as to be inserted into the cylindrical container 3 by being moved toward the end of the cylindrical container 3. Then, the brush body 2 is completely inserted into the cylindrical container 3, and the convex portion 7 is formed at the end of the slit 6 on the rear end side of the cylindrical container 3 and a portion bent at a substantially right angle. positioned.
In this state, the spring 8 is sufficiently compressed to urge the brush body 2 to such an extent that the brush body 2 does not move unnecessarily in the cylindrical container 3, and the slit 6 is bent at a substantially right angle. At the same time, the brush body 2 is fixed.
In this state, when the cosmetic material adhering to the brush 4 is more strictly held in the cylindrical container 3 of the cosmetic brush 1, a separate lid or the like is prepared, although not shown. In the state of 6B, the brush side end of the cylindrical container 3 can be covered.

  FIGS. 7A and 7B and FIGS. 8A and 8B show another example of attaching the lid 9 to the brush side end. In the drawing, the opening end of the lid 9 and the opening end on the side where the cosmetic brush 1 is housed can be formed obliquely. At this time, the lid 9 is moved to the right from the state of FIGS. 7A and 8A so that the lid 9 is placed on the cosmetic brush 1 from the brush body 2 side of the cosmetic brush 1. At this time, the open end of the lid 9 that is in contact with the convex portion 7 moves to the right together with the convex portion 7 so as to push the convex portion 7 while moving to the right. As a result, the brush body 2 provided with the convex portion 7 also moves in the right direction together with the lid 9, so that the brush body 2 is accommodated in the cylindrical container 3 as shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B. become.

  Further, when the lid 9 is removed from the state in which the cosmetic brush 1 shown in FIGS. 7B and 8B is covered and put into use, the process of covering may be reversed.

Similarly to the case shown in FIG. 7, the opening end of the lid 9 in FIGS. 8A and 8B and the opening end on the side where the cosmetic brush 1 is housed can be formed obliquely. At this time, the lid 9 is moved to the right from the state shown in FIG. 8A so as to cover the cosmetic brush 1 from the brush body 2 side of the cosmetic brush 1. In addition, the convex part 7 is made into the state shown to FIG. 8A from the state which moved the convex part 7 to the location which bends in the substantially right angle direction from the slit 6 edge part beforehand with a finger etc. in the slit 6 edge part by the side of the brush 4. Can do. At this time, the open end of the lid 9 that is in contact with the convex portion 7 moves to the right together with the convex portion 7 so as to push the convex portion 7 while moving to the right. As a result, the brush body 2 provided with the convex portion 7 also moves in the right direction together with the lid 9, so that it is accommodated in the cylindrical container 3.
When the convex portion 7 reaches the right end of the slit 6, the opening end of the lid 9 that is moved so as to push the convex portion 7 is provided obliquely. The convex portion 7 can be pushed by changing the direction from the end of the slit 6 toward a portion that bends in a substantially right angle direction.
The lid 9 is fixed when the convex portion 7 is moved from the end of the slit 6 in a substantially perpendicular direction and positioned at the end, and the cosmetic brush 1 is covered with the lid 9 as shown in FIG. 8B. It will be in the state.

Further, when the lid 9 is removed from the state in which the cosmetic brush 1 is covered as shown in FIG. 8B and is put into use, the process of covering may be reversed. It is also possible to bend the bent portion with respect to the slit 6 in the same direction. In FIG. 8, the portions that are bent substantially at right angles to the slit 6 are provided in opposite directions.
Of course, when the cover 9 is put on the cosmetic brush 1, the convex portion 7 can be moved in advance by a finger or the like to store the brush body 2 in the cylindrical container. Furthermore, the convex part 7 provided at the both ends of the slit 6 and extending at a substantially right angle can be positioned at the end of the slit 6 with a finger or the like.
As described above, when the convex portion 7 at the slit end is moved by a finger or the like, the opening end of the lid 9 does not need to be formed obliquely as shown in FIG. It can also be formed.
