Description

The present invention relates to a coating container provided with a coating tool for coating the content liquid.

For example, as a container for containing cosmetics such as mascara as a content liquid, a coating container provided with a coating tool for applying the content liquid to eyelashes or the like is used.

As shown in Patent Document 1, such a coating container is generally specified in that a shaft portion is provided on a cap attached to the container and a coating tool is provided at the tip of the shaft portion. ..

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-159005

Such a shaft portion is long enough for the coating tool to reach the bottom of the container so that the content liquid adheres to the coating tool when the cap is closed even if the amount of the content liquid contained in the container is small. It is shaped like a long length. That is, when applying the content liquid, the distance between the portion where the cap is picked with a finger and the coating tool provided at the tip of the shaft portion is separated. For this reason, it becomes difficult to move the coating tool as intended, and the content liquid may not be applied as intended.

In addition, when mascara is applied, it may not be applied properly and may become "lumps". In this case, an application tool (comb, comb, etc.) for loosening the "lumps" is required. Therefore, when trying to use it on the go, it is necessary to carry both the coating container and the comb, which makes the luggage bulky. Also, at the time of use, it is assumed that the comb or the like housed in the bag or the like cannot be found, and it takes time and effort to find it.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and while maintaining the function of adhering the content liquid to the coating tool when the cap is attached to the container, the coating tool is compared with the conventional one. It is an object of the present invention to provide a coating container that facilitates the work of applying the content liquid and does not require carrying a coating tool such as a comb separately.

The present invention is a coating container including a container for accommodating the content liquid inside a mouth portion with an open upper portion and a cap with a coating tool having a coating tool at the tip of a shaft portion and attached to the mouth portion. ,
The cap with the coating tool is
The opening and the axis are provided with an engaged portion that engages with the engaging portion provided in the mouth portion, and is opened along the axis of the mouth portion so that the shaft portion extends downward. A cap body with a vertical hole extending along it,
A rotating cylinder that is rotatably attached to the cap body in a direction that orbits the axis and has a cam groove on the outside of the vertical hole.
A moving body having a base portion to which the shaft portion is connected to the lower portion and a protrusion which penetrates the vertical hole and engages with the cam groove is connected to the side portion, and another coating tool is provided on the upper portion of the base portion. ,
When the rotating cylinder is rotated, the protrusion is guided by the cam groove and the vertical hole, and the moving body moves back and forth with respect to the cap body.

It is preferable that the other coating tool is rotatably held in a direction around the axis with respect to the base portion.

The rotating cylinder includes a top wall that is aligned with the tip of the other coating tool when the moving body is moved downward, and a through hole that is provided on the top wall and has an opening shape corresponding to the tip. It is preferable to have.

According to the coating container of the present invention, since the moving body can be moved back and forth by rotating the rotating cylinder, it is possible to change the length of the shaft portion extending from the opening. That is, by increasing the length of the shaft portion extending from the opening, the content liquid can be adhered to the coating tool as in the conventional case even if the content liquid is reduced. Further, since the length of the shaft portion can be adjusted according to the preference, the work of applying the content liquid with the coating tool becomes easy. Further, by moving the moving body back and forth so that the length of the shaft portion extending from the opening is shortened, another coating tool (for example, a comb) provided on the moving body can be paid out. Therefore, even when the mascara is stored in the coating container of the present invention, for example, it is not necessary to carry the comb separately, and the "lumps" of the eyelashes can be loosened by another coating tool provided in the coating container of the present invention.

It is a cross-sectional view of a side view, a partially enlarged view thereof, and a plan view which show one Embodiment of the coating container according to this invention. It is a cross-sectional view and a plan view in a direction deviated by 90 ° with respect to FIG. (A) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. 1, and (b) is a side view of the cap body shown in FIG. 1 (the virtual line is a cam groove of the rotating cylinder).

A cylindrical inner peripheral wall 3e is provided on the upper portion of the top wall 3c, and a first convex portion 3f protruding outward in the radial direction is provided on the lower outer peripheral surface of the inner peripheral wall 3e. (See the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1). Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner peripheral wall 3e is provided with a vertical hole 3g extending along the axis O (extending in the vertical direction). As shown in FIG. 3B, the vertical hole 3g of the present embodiment is provided with a lower horizontal hole 3h that penetrates the inner peripheral wall 3e clockwise in a plan view at the lower end thereof, and the upper end of the vertical hole 3g.

As shown in FIG. 3A, such a vertical hole 3g, a lower horizontal hole 3h, and an upper horizontal hole 3j are also provided at positions displaced by 180 ° around the axis O. As shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1, the inner peripheral wall 3e is provided with vertical ribs 3k provided at intervals in the circumferential direction.

The cap-side ironing member 4 has a substantially cylindrical shape having a diameter smaller than that of the first tubular portion 2a described above, and includes a second tubular portion 4a having a reduced diameter at the lower end portion. When the second tubular portion 4a of the present embodiment is attached to the cap body 3 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower end portion thereof is located below the engaged portion 3b formed in a female screw shape. It is formed like this. A second flange portion 4b extending radially outward is provided at the upper end portion of the second tubular portion 4a, and a third flange portion 4c is provided below the second flange portion 4b. (See the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1). Further, the inner peripheral surface of the second tubular portion 4a is provided with a seal portion 4d that bulges inward in the radial direction and presses against the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 5c described later. The cap-side ironing member 4 of the present embodiment is formed of a soft member like the container-side ironing member 2, and can be elastically deformed.

In such a cap-side ironing member 4, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the top wall 3c is formed by the second flange portion 4b and the third flange portion 4c while inserting the second tubular portion 4a into the opening 3d. Is held by the cap body 3 so as to sandwich the.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the moving body 5 includes a base portion 5a having a bottomed tubular shape. As shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1, the base portion 5a of the present embodiment is configured such that the above-mentioned vertical ribs 3k are pressed against the outer peripheral surface thereof. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a protrusion 5b having a columnar shape and protruding outward in the radial direction is provided on the side portion of the base portion 5a. As shown in FIG. 3A, the protrusion 5b is also provided at a position shifted by 180 ° around the axis O. A cylindrical shaft portion 5c whose center line coincides with the axis O is provided in the center of the lower portion of the base portion 5a, and a fitting hole portion 5d for attaching the coating tool 6 is provided in the lower portion of the shaft portion 5c. Has been done. A second concave portion 5e forming an annular shape is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the base portion 5a (see the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1).

The coating tool 6 is used for applying the content liquid contained in the storage space S, and in the present embodiment, a brush-like one suitable for applying mascara to the eyelashes is adopted. As the coating tool 6, various tools such as a brush shape and a brush shape are adopted depending on the type of the content liquid, the coating destination, and the like. Further, a cylindrical fitting shaft portion 6a is provided on the upper portion of the coating tool 6, and the coating tool 6 is attached to the shaft portion 5c by pushing the fitting shaft portion 6a into the fitting hole portion 5d. Can be done.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the comb member 7 has a plate shape that is substantially triangular in a plan view, and has a shape like a comb in which a plurality of notches are provided at intervals in the vertical direction. It is provided with a comb portion 7a. At the lower part of the comb portion 7a, a support portion 7b that has a columnar shape and is inserted inside the base portion 5a that has a bottomed tubular shape is provided. A second convex portion 7c that engages with the second concave portion 5e is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the support portion 7b, and the comb member 7 is held rotatably with respect to the base portion 5a and cannot be pulled out. The comb member 7 is a portion referred to as "another coating tool" in the present specification and the like.

In such a moving body 5 and the comb member 7, for example, the support portion 7b is inserted into the bottomed tubular base portion 5a to engage the second convex portion 7c with the second concave portion 5e, and the protrusion 5b shown in FIG. 3 is formed. The shaft portion 5c is inserted into the cap main body 3 to which the cap side ironing member 4 is attached while aligning the cap main body 3 so as to fit in the vertical hole 3g, so that the cap main body 3 can be attached to the cap main body 3.

The rotating cylinder 8 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and includes an outer peripheral wall 8a that surrounds the inner peripheral wall 3e. An annular first recess 8b that engages with the first convex portion 3f is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the lower portion of the outer peripheral wall 8a (see the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 3 (b), the upper portion of the first recess 8b on the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral wall 8a extends spirally (circling clockwise from the bottom to the top by about half a circumference). As shown in FIG. 2, a groove (cam groove) 8c is provided so as to reduce the thickness of the outer peripheral wall 8a from the inner side in the radial direction to the outer side. As shown in FIG. 3A, the cam groove 8c of the present embodiment is also provided at a position displaced by 180 ° around the axis O.

Further, the rotary cylinder 8 includes a disk-shaped top wall 8d extending inward in the radial direction in the upper part of the outer peripheral wall 8a. The top wall 8d is provided with a substantially triangular through hole 8e as shown in the plan views of FIGS. 1 and 2. The opening shape of the through hole 8e corresponds to the tip of the comb portion 7a, and the inside of the rotating cylinder 8 can be hidden by the top wall 8d, so that the appearance is also excellent.

When assembling such a rotating cylinder 8, the outer peripheral wall 8a is inserted into the inner peripheral wall 3e while aligning the protrusion 5b so as to enter the cam groove 8c. Then, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1, by engaging the first concave portion 8b with the first convex portion 3f, the rotary cylinder 8 is held rotatably and irreversibly with respect to the cap body 3.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the coating container 100 composed of the above-mentioned members is formed into the container 101 by screwing the female-thread-shaped engaged portion 3b into the male-thread-shaped engaging portion 1d. A cap 102 with a coating tool can be attached. As shown in the figure, the shaft portion 5c of the present embodiment has a long length, and the tip portion of the coating tool 6 is located in the vicinity of the bottom portion 1a of the container body 1 in a state where the cap 102 with the coating tool is attached to the container 101. Therefore, the content liquid can be adhered to the coating tool 6 even if the content liquid in the accommodation space S is low. Further, in this state, since the top wall 3c of the cap body 3 is in contact with the first flange portion 2b of the container-side ironing member 2, outside air invades the accommodation space S and the content liquid from the accommodation space S is charged. Leakage can be prevented.

The cap 102 with the coating tool can be removed from the container 101 as shown in FIG. 4 by rotating the cap 102 with the female screw in the loosening direction with respect to the male screw-shaped engaging portion 1d. Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lower end portion of the container-side ironing member 2 is in contact with the upper outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 5c, so that the content liquid of the accommodation space S adheres to the shaft portion 5c. However, it can be scraped off when the cap 102 with the coating tool is removed from the container 101. When the cap 102 with the coating tool is removed from the coating container 100, if the content liquid adheres too much to the coating tool 6, the coating tool 6 is rubbed against the ironing member 2 on the container side to remove excess content liquid. Since it can be scraped off, an appropriate amount of the content liquid can be applied to the coating destination. As described above, in the moving body 5, the vertical rib 3k is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 5a, and the seal portion 4d of the cap-side ironing member 4 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 5c. Does not rotate easily with respect to. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the problem that the coating tool 6 rotates during the coating of the content liquid and the orientation of the coating tool 6 changes, so that the workability is improved.

The cap 102 with a coating tool removed from the container 101 can be coated with the content liquid in the state shown in FIG. 4, but the cap body 3 and the rotary cylinder 8 to the coating tool 6 picked by fingers can be applied. Since the distance becomes long, it becomes difficult to move the coating tool 6 as intended. In this case, when the rotating cylinder 8 is rotated in the direction of the arrow as shown in FIG. 5 (rotated counterclockwise in a plan view), the cam groove 8c is displaced in the circumferential direction with respect to the vertical hole 3g. The vertical hole 3g and the protrusion 5b that has entered the cam groove 8c rise, and the length of the shaft portion 5c can be shortened with respect to the cap body 3. This makes it easier to move the coating tool 6 as intended. Since the length of the shaft portion 5c with respect to the cap body 3 can be arbitrarily changed according to the amount of rotation of the rotating cylinder 8, the content liquid can be applied to a desired length.

In the state shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the protrusion 5b is located below the vertical hole 3g, but the rotating cylinder 8 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow shown in FIG. 5 (rotated clockwise). Thereby, the protrusion 5b can be moved to the lower lateral hole 3h (see FIG. 3B). In this state, the protrusion 5b does not move upward even if an upward force is applied to the coating tool 6. In other words, the length of the shaft portion 5c is not shortened even if an upward force is applied to the coating tool 6, so that when the shaft portion 5c is used with the lengths shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the rotating cylinder is used. It is preferable to rotate 8 to move the protrusion 5b to the lower lateral hole 3h.

By the way, if the content liquid adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 5c, when the rotary cylinder 8 is rotated to change the feeding amount of the shaft portion 5c, the adhered content liquid enters the inside of the cap body 3. It will solidify as it is, and there is a concern that it will hinder the feeding of the shaft portion 5c. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since the lower end of the second tubular portion 4a of the cap-side ironing member 4 is in contact with the shaft portion 5c, even if the content liquid adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 5c, this can be removed. Since it can be scraped off, such a problem can be prevented. Further, in the present embodiment, the seal portion 4d (see the partially enlarged view of FIG. 1) provided on the inner peripheral surface of the second tubular portion 4a abuts on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 5c, so that the adhered content liquid is capped. It is possible to more reliably prevent a problem of getting inside the main body 3.

Here, if the length of the second tubular portion 4a is short and the lower end portion thereof is located above the engaged portion 3b formed in the shape of a female screw, it is scraped off by the second tubular portion 4a. There is a concern that the content liquid adheres to the engaged portion 3b, and when the cap 102 with the coating tool is reattached to the container 101, the content liquid adhering to the engaged portion 3b solidifies. On the other hand, by increasing the length of the second tubular portion 4a as in the present embodiment and positioning the lower end portion of the second tubular portion 4a below the engaged portion 3b formed in the shape of a female screw. , Such a defect can be suppressed.

When the moving body 5 rises by rotating the rotary cylinder 8, the comb member 7 also rises while rotating as shown in FIG. 5, so that the comb portion 7a can be extended outward from the through hole 8e. As a result, when mascara is applied to the eyelashes with the coating tool 6, even if "lumps" are formed on the eyelashes, they can be loosened by the comb portion 7a. Further, it is not necessary to carry a coating tool for loosening the "lump" separately from the coating container 100, which improves convenience. By rotating the rotating cylinder 8 counterclockwise to the end, the protrusion 5b shown in FIG. 3B moves to the upper lateral hole 3j. In this state, the comb portion 7a does not retract even if a downward force is applied to the comb portion 7a. Therefore, when the comb portion 7a is used, the rotary cylinder 8 is rotated until the protrusion 5b moves to the upper lateral hole 3j. Is preferable.

The comb portion 7a can be extended from the through hole 8e by rotating the rotary cylinder 8 even when the cap 102 with the coating tool is attached to the container 101 (the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). .. Therefore, even if the cap 102 with the coating tool is attached to the container 101 and the “lump” is anxious, the cap 102 with the coating tool can be quickly arranged by the comb portion 7a without removing the cap 102.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such a specific embodiment, and unless otherwise specified in the above description, the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Various modifications and changes are possible within the range of. In addition, the effects in the above embodiments merely exemplify the effects resulting from the present invention, and do not mean that the effects according to the present invention are limited to the above effects.

For example, the "other coating tool" in the present invention uses the comb member 7 with the intention of loosening the mascara that has become "lumpy" with the eyelashes in the present embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to this. The form can be appropriately changed depending on the intended use, for example, in the form of a brush. Further, although the comb member 7 of the present embodiment is formed differently from the moving body 5, it may be provided integrally with the moving body 5. In this case, in order to prevent the tip of the comb member 7 provided integrally with the moving body 5 from interfering with the rotating through hole 8e, for example, the size of the through hole 8e provided in the top wall 8d. The top wall 8d and the through hole 8e may be provided on the inner peripheral wall 3e of the cap body 3.
