Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly to a portable container containing a fluid cosmetic.

  In recent years, makeup cosmetics such as foundations having liquid or gel-like fluidity have gained popularity due to the feeling of use, makeup effect, etc. that cannot be obtained with conventional solid foundations and powder foundations. There is an increasing demand for cosmetic containers that can store cosmetics.

  By the way, when the cosmetic having such fluidity is transferred to an application body such as a puff and used, it is not easy to attach an appropriate amount to the application body. In some cases, unevenness may occur due to variations in the amount taken off.

  Therefore, in a case where a screen net is arranged on a support for the purpose of adjusting the amount of cosmetic discharge (Patent Document 1) or a type of container in which a gel cosmetic is directly filled in a container, (Patent Document 2) in which a mesh is provided to make the amount of the cosmetic material attached to the applicator uniform.

  However, in the case of using a screen net, a mesh or the like, the amount to be applied to the application body varies depending on the size of the mesh, and it is necessary to adjust according to the viscosity of the cosmetic. In addition, when the viscosity of the cosmetic is low, the cosmetic may overflow from the storage portion by applying vibration to the container, and it adheres to the container and causes dirt. In the case of cosmetics with high fluidity, when strong vibration is applied to the container, the mesh may come into contact with the surface of the cosmetic, and the cosmetic may liquefy from that portion.

  In addition, in order to improve the portability of cosmetics having fluidity such as liquid or gel, it is impregnated in a porous impregnated body made of foamable urethane resin, etc., instead of directly filling the container. The container accommodated in is known (Patent Document 3).

  In the case of this type of container, when the cosmetic impregnated in the impregnated body is transferred to an application body such as a puff and used, the user who is accustomed to using the compact container of the powder cosmetic is puffed like the powder cosmetic. May cause the cosmetic to be scraped off the impregnated body.

  However, when trying to scrape off the cosmetic from the surface of the impregnated body by the puff, resistance due to friction between the impregnated body and the puff occurs, and it is difficult to transfer the cosmetic smoothly to the puff because the puff feels caught. Become.

  Therefore, in order to smoothly transfer the cosmetic material from the impregnated body to the puff, a method of causing the cosmetic material to ooze out on the surface of the impregnated body by pressing a part of the impregnated body with the puff and then adhering to the puff is recommended. The

  However, when the cosmetic is transferred by such a method, the stress concentrates only on the portion pressed by the puff, so that the content oozes locally from the impregnated body and the amount of puff taken out is not stable. It was. In addition, even if the impregnated body is uniformly filled with cosmetics at the beginning of manufacture, if the part transferred by the puff is the same during use, the remaining amount varies in the part of the impregnated body due to repeated use. In a normal method of use, it is difficult to re-disperse the cosmetic material uniformly in the impregnated body, and it is difficult to visually recognize where the cosmetic material is contained in a large amount and where it is contained in a small amount. There was a problem that it was difficult to understand.

  Furthermore, the present invention is a cosmetic container characterized in that a permeation adjusting material is adhered to the upper surface of the rigid plate.

  The cosmetic container according to the present invention is provided with a rigid plate in the opening of the storage portion so as to cover the surface of the cosmetic, and the cosmetic is transferred to the applied body through the rigid plate. The pressure applied to the coated body is moderately dispersed and the amount taken on the coated body can be made uniform.

  Further, in the present invention, when the permeation adjusting material is attached to the upper surface of the rigid plate, the permeation adjusting material can be appropriately dispersed and adhered to the applicator without the content transmission direction being constant. In addition, there is no risk of the contents overflowing, and there is no risk of the cosmetic material adhering to the container.

  In the present invention, an elastic member is provided in the storage portion, and the rigid plate placed on the upper surface of the elastic member is held by the elastic member so that it can move up and down in the storage portion. The amount of the cosmetics transferred to the applicator can be easily adjusted by adjusting the amount.

The permeation adjusting material 22 can be integrally formed with the rigid plate 2 by a method such as insert molding, ultrasonic welding, heat welding, or the like, in addition to bonding with an adhesive. By affixing the permeation adjusting material 22 to the upper surface of the rigid plate 2, the permeation speed of the contents can be moderated without causing the permeation direction of the contents to be constant.

  In the present embodiment, the rigid plate 2 is held by the holding frame 18 so as not to be detached from the storage portion 13. The restraining frame 18 includes a peripheral wall 181 formed in a frame shape and a top wall 182 projecting horizontally from the upper end of the peripheral wall 181 into the frame. When the adjustment material 22 is affixed, the transmission adjustment material 22) is exposed. The peripheral wall 181 is formed in a frame shape whose height is substantially the same as or lower than the height in the storage portion 13, and whose outer size is substantially the same as the opening size of the storage portion 13. The holding frame 18 is inserted from the opening of the storage portion 13, and is fixed by pressing the peripheral wall 181 against the inner peripheral surface of the inner wall 14. Note that the method of fixing the holding frame 18 is not limited to this, and fixing means that can be locked to each other are provided on both the peripheral wall 181 and the inner wall 14, and both may be fixed by such a locking portion. You may fix by well-known fixing means, such as welding.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the edge of the rigid plate 2 is placed on the upper surface 32 of the elastic member 3 provided in the storage portion 13. In the storage portion 13, a peripheral wall 181 is inserted between the inner wall 14 and the elastic member 3 from above, and a holding frame 18 is attached so that the top wall 182 is hooked on the edge of the rigid plate 2. In this way, it is possible to prevent the rigid plate 2 from falling out of the storage portion 13 by the holding frame 18 fixed in the storage portion 13 hanging on the edge. The means for preventing the rigid plate 2 from falling off is not limited to this, and a locking claw portion may be provided on the rigid plate 2, and the elastic member 3 may be locked by the claw portion to prevent the falling off.

  Cosmetic material 4 is directly filled in the opening 31 of the elastic member 3. As a filling method of the cosmetic 4, first, the rigid plate 2 is placed on the elastic member 3 outside the container body 1, and further, the ceiling wall 182 is hung on the edge of the rigid plate 2 from above. Set the frame 18. And it should just turn over so that the rigid board 2 may become a bottom in that state, and should just fill with cosmetics in the opening 31 of the elastic member 3. FIG. The cosmetic filling method is not limited to this. For example, the elastic member 3 is first set in the storage portion 13 of the container body 1, and then the cosmetic is filled in the opening 31 of the elastic member 3, Thereafter, the rigid plate 2 and the holding frame 18 may be set. Furthermore, cosmetic material may be filled in the opening 31 of the elastic member 3 in advance, this may be set in the storage portion 13, and finally the rigid plate 2 and the holding frame 18 may be set.

  As the cosmetic 4 stored in the cosmetic container of the present invention, a cosmetic having fluidity is preferable. For example, foundation, blusher, eye shadow, concealer, base cosmetic, milky lotion, cream, cosmetic liquid, hair cream, BB cream or the like can be used. Here, the “fluidity” of the cosmetic means a state having the following viscosity when measured at a room temperature of 25 ° C. Specifically, the viscosity of the cosmetic measured using a Brookfield rotational viscometer at a room temperature of 25 ° C. is preferably in the range of 1,000 to 1,000,000 mPa · s, and more preferably 3,000. A range of ˜100,000 mPa · s is more preferable. When the viscosity is within this range, the effects of the present invention can be realized without impairing the feeling of use of the liquid cosmetic. Further, it can be used even in a harder region, and specifically, a material having a consistency value of 360 mm or more (consistency value measured using No. 2 aluminum cone based on JIS K2220) at a room temperature of 25 ° C. Preferably, the fluidity is increased by the rigid plate so that the amount taken on the coated body can be made uniform, and the feeling of use can be improved.

  Next, the usage method of the cosmetic container of this invention is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 6, the application body 6 such as a puff is pressed against an arbitrary portion of the transmission adjusting material 22 attached to the upper surface of the rigid plate 2. When the applying body 6 is pressed against the rigid plate 2 with a certain strength, when the rigid plate 2 has bending elasticity, it bends toward the storage portion 13 side from the pressed portion. Further, the elastic member 3 on which the rigid plate 2 is placed is also pressed from above by the rigid plate 2 and compressed downward. Accordingly, the rigid plate 2 is also pushed down into the storage portion 13.

  In such a state, the lower surface of the rigid plate 2 is already in contact with the surface of the cosmetic 4. Then, the cosmetic 4 having fluidity passes through the hole 21 of the rigid plate 2 and oozes out to the upper surface of the rigid plate 2, gently permeates the permeation adjusting material 22, and then enters the application body 6. Transferred.

  According to the cosmetic container of this embodiment, the compression degree of the elastic member 3 is adjusted by adjusting the pressure applied to the rigid plate 2 by the application body 6, and the amount of cosmetic discharged to the upper surface of the rigid plate 2 can be adjusted. it can. And since the pressure to cosmetics is moderately disperse | distributed by the rigid board 2, it concentrates on a part of application body 6, and cosmetics are not absorbed, and also the application body moderately by the permeation | transmission adjustment material 22. Therefore, the cosmetic can be adhered to the coated body 6 without unevenness.

  Furthermore, as a different usage method of the cosmetic container of the present invention, the rigid plate 2 to which the permeation adjusting material 22 is attached can be turned over and used. That is, when the rigid plate 2 is placed on the elastic member 3, the surface to which the permeation adjusting material 22 is attached may be disposed on the lower side (cosmetic side). By reversing the front and back of the rigid plate 2 in this way, the smooth surface of the rigid plate 2 is raised and the frictional resistance decreases with the application body. Therefore, when transferring cosmetics to the application body, There is little catching, and it becomes possible to scrape off cosmetics smoothly as in the case of powder cosmetics.

  Further, as a different embodiment of the cosmetic container according to the present invention, a cosmetic having fluidity may be stored in the storage unit 13 in a state where the impregnated body 5 is impregnated. The impregnated body 5 is formed in a shape and size that can be accommodated in the storage portion 13. When the impregnated body 5 is impregnated with the cosmetic and stored, the elastic member 3 does not have to be provided in the storage portion 13, and the rigid plate 2 is directly placed on the upper surface of the impregnated body 5.

  The impregnated body 5 is formed of a porous material that can be impregnated with a cosmetic material having fluidity such as liquid or gel. Specifically, those listed as materials for the elastic member can be used, and nonwoven fabrics and foamable polymer resin materials are preferable, nonwoven fabrics are particularly preferable, and polyolefin fibers such as polypropylene and polyethylene, and mixed fibers are used. More preferred is a non-woven fabric. Moreover, in order to increase the internal volume of the cosmetic impregnated in the impregnated body 5, a plurality of holes 51 may be formed in the impregnated body 5 (FIG. 5). The size and number of the punched holes 51 can be arbitrarily formed, but it is preferable to form the punched holes 51 within a range in which the contents are not leaked while maintaining the impregnated body 5 impregnated with the cosmetic.

  In this embodiment, the rigid plate 2 is placed on the upper surface of the impregnated body 5, but the method of use is the same as that of the first embodiment described above. In this embodiment as well, by using the rigid plate 2 upside down, there is little catching between the impregnated body 5 and the coated body, and the cosmetic can be scraped off smoothly as in the case of powder cosmetics. It becomes possible.
