Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container that accommodates cosmetics such as lipsticks, eye shadows, and blushers, as well as applicators corresponding to the stored cosmetics, such as red brushes, sponge tips, and cheek brushes.

Conventionally, various configurations have been proposed for cosmetic containers that store cosmetics such as lipsticks, eye shadows, and blushers together with cosmetic applicators such as red brushes, sponge tips, and cheek brushes. ing. Among these, as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a structure is known in which a lid that is detachable from the container is used as a part of a cosmetic applicator, and the container is miniaturized for convenient portability. ing.

The cosmetic case (1) of Patent Document 1 includes a case body (2) and lids (5a, 5b) that are detachable from the case body (2). The case body (2) has a cosmetic storage section (3) and a brush storage section (4) connected to each other. This cosmetics storage section (3) has brush insertion grooves (8a, 8b) carved from the front end to the top, and the bottom of the brush insertion grooves (8a, 8b) has depressions (6a, 6b) for storing cosmetics. has been established. The brush storage portion (4) is provided with insertion holes (15a, 15b) that are continuous with the brush insertion grooves (8a, 8b). The lid (5a, 5b) has a main body part (10a, 10b) that fits into the brush insertion groove (8a, 8b) of the case body (2) and covers the recessed part (6a, 6b), and a main body part (10a, 10b). ) An insertion part (11a, 11b) is formed at the tip to which a brush (13a, 13b) is attached to fit into the brush insertion groove (8a, 8b) of the case body (2). Then, protrusions (18a, 18b) are protruded from the side walls (17a, 17b) of the brush insertion grooves (8a, 8b) of the case body (2), and the main body parts (10a, 10b) of the lid (5a, 5b) are provided with protrusions (18a, 18b). Engagement holes (20a, 20b) are formed in the side walls to engage the protrusions (18a, 18b), and locking means (16a, 16b) are configured to removably lock the lid (5a, 5b) to the case body (2). ).

The cosmetic container of Patent Document 2 includes a container body (7) and a makeup brush accommodating body (9) that serves as a lid that is detachable from the container body (7). The container body (7) has a long recess (8) extending from the front end on its upper surface, and a recess (11) in the bottom of the recess (8) for accommodating the inner tray (10a) containing the cosmetic (10). ), and an elastic locking piece (18) is provided upright on the front end side of the bottom surface of the recess (8). The cosmetic brush accommodating body (9) is accommodated in the recess (8) of the container body (7). This cosmetic brush accommodating body (9) slidably accommodates brush bristles (19) inside, and is designed to protrude and retract from the end of the cosmetic brush accommodating body (9). A protrusion (23) that engages with the elastic locking piece (18) of the container body (7) is provided on the front end face of the cosmetic brush accommodating body (9), so that the cosmetic brush accommodating body (9) It is a locking means that is removably locked to the container body (7).

In the case of these configurations, since the lid is used as a part of the applicator, it is easy to downsize the cosmetic container itself. Additionally, the appearance of the cosmetic container itself was prismatic, giving it a simple and clean shape. Furthermore, by using the applicator as a lid, it was possible to prevent the applicator from being lost.

However, as the means for locking the container body to the lid uses the engagement of a protrusion and a recess, that is, an undercut engagement, when the engagement occurs, a snapping sound and a shock are generated, and this shock is There was a risk of damage to cosmetics such as cracks and chips. Furthermore, as the container itself has been made smaller, the part where the lid is pinched has also become smaller, making it difficult to release the lid. This problem can be solved by providing the container body (7) with a push-button-like operating piece (16) that pushes up the cosmetic brush accommodating body (9), as shown in Patent Document 2, but the container itself becomes complicated. It happened.

In the cosmetic container containing the cosmetic applicator of the present invention, the lid 4 having the applicator 42 at the end and the container body 2 containing the cosmetic 1 fit together, and the lid 4 can be moved in one direction. In the configuration in which the lid 4 can be attached and detached by sliding, when the lid 4 is slid between the lid 4 and the container body 2, it engages with the container body 2 to fit and hold the lid 4. The hook portion 232 is provided on one side, and the engagement groove 413 is provided on the other side. Magnets 51 and 52 are arranged on the lower surface of the lid 4 and the upper surface of the container body 2, respectively, with the same polarity facing each other. When the hook portion 232 and the engagement groove 413 are engaged, the magnet 52 of the lid body 4 engages the hook portion 232 and the engagement groove 413 more than the magnet 51 of the container body 2, respectively. direction and when the engagement between the hook 232 and the engagement groove 413 is released, the magnet 52 of the lid 4 engages the hook 232 and the engagement groove 413 more than the magnet 51 of the container body 2. It is provided at a position shifted in the release direction, and the repulsion directions P1 and P2 by the magnets 51 and 52 are reversed.

The present invention is a cosmetic container incorporating the cosmetic applicator as described above, and when the lid 4 is fitted into the container body 2 and the hook portion 232 and the engagement groove 413 are engaged, the lid 4 The magnet 52 is positioned offset from the magnet 51 of the container body 1 in the engagement direction. As a result, the repulsive force P1 of the magnets 51 and 52 acts on the lid body 4 in the direction in which the hook portion 232 and the engagement groove 413 engage, thereby making the engagement between the hook portion 232 and the engagement groove 413 stronger. Make it into something. Here, when the lid 4 is slid to release the engagement between the hook portion 232 and the engagement groove 413, the magnet 52 of the lid 4 is shifted in the disengagement direction with respect to the magnet 51 of the container body 1. Moving. As a result, the repulsive force P2 of the magnets 51 and 52 acts on the lid 4 in the direction of disengaging the hook portion 232 from the engagement groove 413, thereby preventing the lid 4 from re-engaging.

In other words, since the repulsive force P1 of the magnets 51 and 52 is used to maintain the engagement between the lid 4 and the container body 2 without using a general undercut engagement structure, the impact at the time of engagement is etc., and the cosmetics 1 housed in the container body 2 are not adversely affected. Further, when the repulsive force P2 of the magnets 51 and 52 is directed in the direction of disengaging the container body 2 and the lid 4, the repulsive force P2 causes the lid 4 to rise slightly, making it easier to pick the lid 4.

In addition, since the direction of displacement of the magnet 52 of the lid 4 and the magnet 51 of the container body 1 opposite to each other changes in the middle of sliding the lid 4, the repulsive forces P1 and P2 of the magnets 51 and 52 can be reversed midway. By using cams, links, etc. and springs, the same function as a reversing spring that changes the direction of repulsion depending on the position can be achieved with a simple structure in which magnets facing the same polarity are simply shifted.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The cosmetic container of the embodiment of the present invention is a cosmetic container in which a lid body is removably fitted to a container body, and as shown in FIG. 4, when a lid body is fitted to a container body, an integral It has an elongated, almost rectangular box shape. 1 and 2 are a side sectional view and a perspective view of the container body with the lid removed. FIGS. 3 and 4 are a side sectional view and a perspective view of the lid fitted to the container body.

The container body 2 has a rectangular shape, and has a storage dome 21 projecting from the upper surface of the rear portion in the longitudinal direction. The inside of this storage dome 21 is hollow, and an insertion port 211 is opened in the front side wall. A storage recess 22 for storing contents is provided on the front upper surface of the storage dome 21. In the storage recess 22 of this embodiment, a dish 3 filled with cosmetics 1 is stored. A rail-shaped slide protrusion 23 is provided on the upper surface of the storage recess 22 to protrude along both edges in the longitudinal direction.

This sliding projection 23 starts from the front end of the container body 2 and ends at the storage dome 21. A hook 231 is provided protruding from the inner wall of the front end of the slide projection 23. The upper end of this hook 231 is a hook portion 232 bent toward the front end. The upper surface of this hook 231 forms a tapered cam surface 233 that is inclined toward the front end and has a pointed tip.

The lid body 4 consists of an elongated, substantially plate-shaped lid portion 41 and an applicator 42 connected to an end of the lid portion 41. This lid portion 41 is fitted onto the upper surface of the storage recess 22 of the container body 2 to close the storage recess 22. A recess 411 that engages with the slide protrusion 23 of the container body 2 is formed on the lower surface of the lid portion 41 at both edges in the longitudinal direction. The engagement between the slide protrusion 23 and the recess 411 allows the lid 4 to slide back and forth in the longitudinal direction with the guide of the slide protrusion 23 of the container body 2.

A guide groove 412, which is opened on the lower surface of the lid part 4, is carved in the front end of the inner wall of the recess 411. When the applicator 42 is inserted into the insertion opening 211 of the storage dome 21 and the recess 411 of the lid 4 engages with the slide protrusion 23 of the container body 2, the guide groove 412 allows the hook 231 of the container body 2 to It's becoming more immersive. An engagement groove 413 bent toward the front end is connected to the upper end of the guide groove 412 of the lid portion 41 . When the fitting part 423 of the applicator 42 is fitted into the insertion opening 211 and the lid body 4 is closing the container body 2, the hook part 232 of the hook 231 is caught in this engagement groove 413, and the lid is caught in the engaging groove 413. The body 4 can maintain a closed state.

This guide groove 412 has an engaging groove 413 that is connected to the guide groove 412 so that the hook 232 of the hook 231 can engage and disengage from the engaging groove 413 that is connected to the guide groove 412. 231 can be moved back and forth. Further, the lower end open groove edge 414 of the guide groove 412 is spread out in a funnel shape, and the open groove edge 414 of the guide groove 412 and the cam surface 233 of the hook 231 prevent the hook 231 from entering the guide groove 412. Even if the guide groove 231 is slightly displaced, it comes into contact with the edge of the guide groove 412 and is guided to the insertion position.

The applicator 42 is inserted through the insertion opening 211 of the container body 2 and stored in the storage dome 21 when the lid portion 41 is fitted into the upper surface of the storage recess 22 of the container body 2. A fitting portion 423 that fits into the insertion opening 211 of the container body 2 is provided at a portion where the lid portion 41 and the applicator 42 are connected. Further, the applicator 42 is made by bundling brush bristles 421 with a base 422, and the lid portion 41 can be used as a handle of the applicator 42.

This sliding along the longitudinal direction of the lid 41 serves as a guide for safely inserting and removing the applicator 42 of the lid 4 into and from the storage dome 21 through the insertion opening 211. This slide stops when the end of the lid 41 comes into contact with the edge of the insertion opening 211 of the storage dome 21 of the container body 2. At this time, the lid part 41 covers the storage recess 22 of the container body 2, the fitting part 423 of the applicator 42 fits into the insertion opening 211, and the inside of the storage dome 21 is closed, and the lid part 4 covers the storage recess 22 of the container body 2. The top of the lid is closed.

When the lid 4 closes the top surface of the container body 2, the outer surfaces of the container body 2 and the lid 4 are almost flush with each other, forming an integral elongated substantially rectangular box shape ( (See Figure 4). This closed lid can be released by sliding the lid body 102 in a direction opposite to the storage dome 106 using the slide protrusion 107 as a guide. Furthermore, a finger hook 424 is formed on the top surface of the lid portion 41 of the lid 4 exposed to the outside to facilitate sliding of the lid 4 in the longitudinal direction.

Further, a magnet 51 is embedded in the upper surface of the front end of the storage recess 22 of the container body 2. This magnet 51 has two poles magnetized at both ends in the axial direction, and one pole is directed toward the upper surface of the storage recess 22 . Furthermore, a magnet 52 is embedded in the lower surface of the lid part 41, at the front end thereof. This magnet 52 is similarly magnetized with two poles at both ends in the axial direction, with one pole facing the lower surface of the lid part 41. The polarity of the upper surface of the storage recess 22 of the magnet 51 of the container body 2 and the polarity of the lower surface of the lid part 41 of the magnet 52 of the lid body 4 are the same polarity, and when the lid body 4 is fitted into the container body 2, The magnets 51 and 52 face each other to generate a repulsive force.

The positions of the magnets 51 and 52 are such that the recess 411 of the lid 4 engages with the slide protrusion 23 of the container body 2, the fitting portion 423 of the applicator 42 fits into the insertion opening 211, and the lid 4 is placed in the container. When the main body 2 is closed (see FIGS. 5 and 9), the magnet 52 of the lid 4 is shifted toward the back with respect to the magnet 51 of the container main body 2. Moreover, when the lid body 4 slides forward and the hook part 232 of the hook 231 of the container body 2 is disengaged from the engagement groove 413 of the lid body 4 (see FIGS. 6 and 8), the container body The magnet 52 of the lid 4 is shifted toward the front with respect to the magnet 51 of No. 2.

The embodiment of the present invention has the above configuration. Next, the operation of attaching and detaching the lid 4 of the cosmetic container containing the cosmetic applicator according to the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. 5 to 7 are explanatory diagrams of the state of each part when the lid 4 is removed from the container body 2. FIGS. 8 and 9 are diagrams illustrating the state of each part during the fitting operation of the lid body. In the figure, P1 to P2 indicate the direction of the repulsive force of the magnets 51 and 52, and F1 to F5 indicate the direction of the stress applied to the lid 4.

FIG. 5 shows that the recess 411 of the lid 4 engages with the slide protrusion 23 of the container body 2, the applicator 42 is accommodated in the storage dome 21 from the insertion opening 211, and the fitting part 423 of the applicator 42 is inserted into the insertion opening. 211, and the lid body 4 is in a state of closing the container body 2. At this time, since the magnet 52 of the lid body 4 is shifted toward the back with respect to the magnet 51 of the container body 2, the repulsive force of the magnets 51 and 52 is directed in the direction of P1. However, the hook 231 of the container body 2 enters the guide groove 412 of the lid 41, and the hook 232 of the hook 231 is caught in the engagement groove 413 connected to the guide groove 412, so the lid 4 is held horizontally. It is possible to move only in the direction. As a result, the repulsive force P1 applied to the lid 4 acts in the F1 direction in which the lid 4 can move. This direction is the direction in which the hook 232 of the hook 231 of the lid 4 and the engagement groove 413 of the container body 2 are hooked, thereby making the closing of the lid 4 and the container body 2 stronger.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the lid 4 of FIG. 5 has been slid in the forward direction F2 from the state in which the container body 2 is closed. When the lid 4 is slid toward the front, the hook 232 of the hook 231 of the lid 4 is released from the engagement groove 413 of the container body 2. At this time, the magnet 52 of the lid part 4 is shifted closer to the front than the magnet 51 of the container book 2, and the repulsive force is reversed in the P2 direction. However, since the lid body 4 is held down by the sliding operation, it does not move due to the repulsive force P20.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which the sliding operation on the lid 4 of FIG. 6 has been stopped. The lid 4, which can no longer be held down, is now free because the hook 232 of the hook 231 and the engagement groove 413 of the container body 2 are no longer caught, so the lid 4 is held down by the repulsive force P2 of the magnets 51 and 52. 4 is pushed up in the F3 direction, and the lid body 102 is slightly raised. This lifting makes it easier to remove the lid 4. At this time, the lid body 4 is pushed up in the direction in which the hook part 232 and the engagement groove 413 are unlatched, so that the hook part 232 and the engagement protrusion 120 are caught again and cannot be removed. Nothing happens.

FIG. 8 shows that after using the applicator 42 of the lid 4, the slide protrusion 23 of the container body 2 is engaged with the recess 411 of the lid 41, and the applicator 42 is inserted into the storage dome 21 from the insertion opening 211. The storage recess 22 is covered with the lid part 41 and closed in the F4 direction against the repulsive force P2 of the magnets 51 and 52. At this time, the lid 4 contacts the container body 2 while being shifted toward the front.

FIG. 9 shows a state in which the lid body 4 is slid in the F5 direction from the state shown in FIG. At this time, the engagement groove 413 of the lid 4 is caught by the hook 232 of the container body 2. At the same time, the fitting portion 423 of the lid 4 fits into the insertion opening 211 of the storage dome 21 of the container body 2, and the lid 4 closes the top surface of the container body 2. At this time, the magnet 52 of the lid 4 moves toward the back with respect to the magnet 51 of the container body 2, causing a shift, and the repulsive force of the magnets 51 and 52 is reversed in the direction of P1. However, the hook 231 of the container body 2 enters the guide groove 412 of the lid 41, and the hook 232 of the hook 231 is caught in the engagement groove 413 connected to the guide groove 412, so the lid 4 is held horizontally. It is possible to move only in the direction. As a result, the repulsive force P1 applied to the lid 4 acts in the F5 direction in which the lid 4 can move. This direction is the direction in which the hook 232 of the hook 231 of the lid 4 and the engagement groove 413 of the container body 2 are hooked, thereby making the closing of the lid 4 and the container body 2 stronger.

Although the cosmetic container containing the cosmetic applicator according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in the cosmetic container containing the cosmetic applicator of the embodiment, an applicator 42 having brush bristles 421 bundled with a cap 422 was provided on the lid 4, but a cosmetic applicator such as a sponge tip or a twisted brush was used. You can choose not only the ingredients, but also spatula-shaped, spoon-shaped, etc.

Further, the arrangement of the hook portion 232 of the container body 2 and the engagement groove 413 of the lid 4, which are hooked between the container body 2 and the lid 4 to close the lid, can be reversed. Similarly, the cam surface 233 provided on the hook portion 232 can also be provided on the guide groove 412 of the lid body 4.

The magnet 51 of the container body 2 and the magnet 52 of the lid 4 may be arranged so that the same poles face each other, and the N poles may be placed together or the S poles may be placed together. Moreover, not only the magnets 51 and 52 with two poles magnetized on the axial end described in the embodiment, but also the magnets with two poles magnetized on one side can be used perpendicularly to the sliding axis of the lid 4. The repulsive force can be utilized by arranging the magnets 51 of the container body 2 and the magnets 52 of the lid 4, which are opposite to each other, so that both poles of the magnets straddle the sliding axis, and so that the opposite poles face each other. Note that general magnets such as alnico magnets, ferrite magnets, neodymium magnets, and samarium cobalt magnets can be used as the magnets.

As described above, in the present invention, the direction of displacement of the opposing magnets (the magnet 51 of the container body 2 and the magnet 52 of the lid 4) changes to the opposite direction during the sliding of the lid 4, so that the repulsive force of the magnets 51 and 52 is reversed. The direction of the sliding member can be reversed from the middle, and it is used like a reversal spring where the direction of the sliding member changes from the middle. In other words, the repulsive force of the magnets 51 and 52 is controlled by controlling the direction of the repulsive force by the direction of deviation between the opposing magnets 51 and 52, and controlling the inclination of the repulsive direction with respect to the axis by the amount of deviation between the opposing magnets 51 and 52. The strength of the repulsive force can be set by the distance between the opposing magnets 51 and 52.
