DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an application container with a roller for applying a depilation lotion or a cosmetic lotion to the surface of human skin or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various types of hair removal lotions and the like have been circulated on the surface of human skin and the like, but they have been disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-11202 as those manufactured for disposable use. There is a lotion dispenser. As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the lotion dispenser is provided with a dewatering lotion 31 in a housing 30. Side walls 34 are erected on both right and left sides of the opening 33, the distribution opening 33 is sealed with a distribution seal 36, and a large number of independent annular ribs 35a are formed on the left and right side walls 34 on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Roller 35 is rotatably mounted. At the time of use (for example, at the time of hair removal processing before a surgical operation, etc.), the dispensing seal 36 is peeled off to open the dispensing opening 33, and then the housing 30 is turned upside down and the roller 35 is moved to the surface of human skin or the like. Rolling on is done. As a result, the hair removal lotion 31 accommodated in the above 32 flows down from the distribution opening 33 and flows down onto the roller 35, and the rotation of the roller 35 applies the hair removal lotion 31 to the surface of human skin or the like. I have to. Such a lotion dispenser is discarded after use.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned lotion dispenser, since a large number of annular ribs 35a are independently formed on the outer peripheral surface of the roller 35, they are formed between adjacent annular ribs 35a. Grooves 35b are independent of each other. For this reason, the hair removal lotion 31 flowing down from the distribution opening 33 is
In order to spread the distribution opening 33, the width of the distribution opening 33 is made substantially the same as the width of the roller 35,
The hair removal lotion 31 that flows down from the roller 35 must flow down into the grooves 35 b formed on the outer peripheral surface of the roller 35. For this reason, a large space for forming the distribution opening 33 is required, and there is a problem that the degree of freedom in designing is small. Therefore, it is conceivable to open the distribution opening 33 only at the center of the upper wall. In this case, the hair removal lotion 31 flowing down from the distribution opening 33 does not reach the entire roller 35, but only at the center. get together. For this reason, there is a problem that the application liquid must be spread right and left by the finger after the roller 35 is rolled.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even when a through-hole for flowing out a coating liquid is provided in the center, a coating container with a roller capable of uniformly spreading the coating liquid to the left and right is provided. Its purpose is to provide.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an application container with a roller according to the present invention comprises: a container body having an upper portion formed at a neck; and a horizontally long lid attached to the neck. A horizontally-long recess formed in the upper end ceiling of the lid,
A roller rotatably disposed laterally in the recess; and a spiral groove which is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the roller so as to rotate in a direction opposite to each other from a substantially central portion to an end portion in the axial direction of the roller. Is provided with a through-hole for flowing out the coating liquid at the center of the.

[0006]

In other words, the roller-equipped coating container of the present invention has a container body having an upper portion formed at the neck, a horizontally long lid attached to the neck, and a ceiling at the upper end of the lid. A horizontally long recess, and a roller rotatably disposed in the recess in a lateral direction are provided. On the outer peripheral surface of the roller, spiral grooves that rotate in opposite directions from substantially the center to the end in the axial direction of the roller are provided. Is formed. Further, a through-hole for flowing out the coating liquid is formed in the center of the recess. At the time of use, the container body is in an inverted posture, and the roller is rolled on the surface of human skin or the like. As a result, the coating liquid such as the depilatory lotion contained in the container body flows down, and the roller is rotatably disposed in the recess through a through hole formed in the center of the recess of the lid. Runs over the center. After that, almost half of the coating solution that has flowed down
With the rotation of the roller, the coating liquid that has flowed to one end (right side) through one (right) spiral groove formed from substantially the center of the outer peripheral surface of the roller to one end (right end). The other half (left side) is formed from substantially the center of the outer peripheral surface of the roller to the other end (left end) and passes through the other (left side) spiral groove that turns in the opposite direction to the one spiral groove. ) While being applied to the surface of human skin. Therefore, according to the roller-equipped application container of the present invention, the application liquid flowing down to the center of the roller can be uniformly spread right and left with the rotation of the roller. In addition, by rotating the roller in the opposite direction, the application liquid is collected at the center of the roller, and is applied in a thicker part,
Unnecessary portions of the coating liquid can be removed.

In the coating container with a roller according to the present invention, when the spiral grooves on the left and right sides are formed to have the same width, the amount of the coating solution passing through each spiral groove can be made uniform. In addition, when the through hole is formed in a horizontally long shape and the width is formed to be substantially the same as the sum of the widths of the spiral grooves on the left and right sides, the coating liquid flowing down substantially in the center of the roller is always placed in both spiral grooves. Can flow down. In the case where an annular concave portion is formed in the horizontally long concave portion so as to surround the through hole, the application liquid adhered to the roller may be removed from the horizontally long concave portion even after the roller-equipped application container is placed in the upright posture after use. After flowing down, the water flows along the bottom surface of the horizontally long recess, flows into the annular recess and accumulates, and hardly adheres to the through hole. For this reason,
The solidified coating solution does not block the through-holes or reduce the opening area.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments.
