Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator, in particular, a tip-like or brush-like cosmetic applicator for partially applying a cosmetic such as an eye shadow.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, in order to apply eye shadow, lipstick, and the like, a stick-shaped cosmetic applicator provided with a chip-shaped application section made of foam or a brush-shaped application section at the tip of a handle has been frequently used.

[0003] In such a cosmetic applicator, the one used at home simply has a coating portion attached to the tip of a rod-shaped handle. However, a portable handle is a tubular body. It is known that the application part is housed in a cylinder when not in use, and protrudes from the cylinder when in use.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 60-10486 discloses a cosmetic applicator having a structure in which a coating portion is retracted or protruded into a cylindrical handle as described above. In this gazette, a groove extending in the longitudinal direction is provided in a cylindrical body, and a protrusion is provided on a handle rod supporting an application portion, the protrusion is fitted in the groove, and the protrusion is slid in the groove to perform coating. The part is moved in and out of the cylinder.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-25943 discloses a cylinder having two nested cylinders (a cartridge cylinder and a cartridge cylinder). The cylinder is composed of a cylinder and a coating portion that enters and exits the cylinder. The cosmetic applicator has a spiral structure that allows the applicator to protrude or retract from the cartridge cylinder by rotating the cartridge cylinder and the outer cylinder relatively. Is disclosed.

[0006] In the cosmetic applicator disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-25942, the applicator is capable of entering and exiting a cylinder, and a spring is provided in the cylinder. A cap provided with a push rod inside is covered at the tip of the cylindrical body. When using this cosmetic applicator, remove the cap from the tip of the cylinder, fit it on the rear end of the cylinder, and push the rod attached to the rear end of the applicator with the push rod inside the cap against the spring. By pushing up, the application part protrudes from the cylinder. When not in use, remove the cap from the rear end of the cylinder, and the application part will retract into the cylinder again by the force of the spring.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In general, if the part of the handle of the cosmetic applicator is too short, when applying the cosmetic, the part to be applied and its surroundings will be hidden by hands, making it difficult to apply makeup. Must be lengthened to some extent. However, in the case of the known portable cosmetic applicator as described above, only the tip of the application section comes in and out of the cylindrical body, so that it is easy to use as a cosmetic applicator. The length of the cylinder must be long, so it is not compact even when not in use, and is inconvenient to carry.

Further, among the above-mentioned known portable applicators, the applicator disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 60-10486 and the applicator disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 58-25943 are used when the dispenser is not used. Is stored in the cylinder, but the end of the cylinder remains open, so if, for example, powdery cosmetics are used, it will adhere to the application section from this open end. There is a problem that the cosmetics that have been spilled fall off and stain the inside of the handbag.

On the other hand, there is conventionally known an applicator in a container together with an eye shadow, a lipstick or the like. In this case, since the applicator is stored in the container, the cosmetic adhered to the application section spills out. No worries, but the container containing the cosmetic was relatively small, and as a result, the applicator housed inside was short, making it difficult to use. .

Further, since the structures disclosed in the above three publications are all very complicated, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is increased.

[0011]

[Purpose of the invention]

 The present invention is a cosmetic applicator that is short in length and compact when not in use, and has a long handle when in use. An object of the present invention is to provide a portable and easy-to-use cosmetic applicator that prevents powder from spilling out even when powdered cosmetics or the like are used.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic applicator that has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a makeup applicator comprising a handle portion and an application portion provided at the tip of the handle portion is housed in the case, and the case is divided into two half portions along the longitudinal direction. The two halves are connected at one end in the longitudinal direction and can be opened and closed, and the end of the handle is rotatable to one half at the case end opposite to the one end. At the ends of the case, the two halves form an opening with the case closed, the opening being about the same size as the end of the handle, The above object is achieved by a cosmetic applicator in a case, characterized in that a handle portion of the cosmetic applicator turned outward is gripped by the case end.

In the present invention, instead of connecting the two halves at the longitudinal ends as described above, the two halves may be connected at one side in the width direction to be openable and closable.

Further, according to the present invention, when the case is closed, both side edges of each half are in contact with each other, and the end opposite to the opening is closed by the connecting member or the edge of each half. The opening is substantially closed by the rear end of the handle.
