Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and particularly to a single-use type cosmetic container with improved usability.

  A cosmetic container for providing a liquid or cream-like cosmetic or the like as a sample in small portions in a resin-made sachet and hermetically sealed is known.

  Here, in a conventional cosmetic container, a cosmetic material is impregnated in advance with an application member such as a non-woven fabric, and the application member is taken out from the container during use. Therefore, conventionally, problems such as discoloration, odor change and the like have been observed depending on the liquid composition of cosmetics and the like because the content liquid is contained in the nonwoven fabric for a long time. Further, depending on the material of the nonwoven fabric, the antiseptic property of the liquid is lowered, so that a device for prescription or the like is necessary.

  Therefore, cosmetics etc. are stored little by little, and as a single use container intended to be used up once, the contents of cosmetics etc. can be easily discharged with one touch and penetrated into a sheet of cotton etc. A cosmetic container having a configuration that can be used by applying a cosmetic to the skin using a sheet is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, a breaking protrusion capable of pressing and breaking the seal member is formed at the bottom of the storage recess for storing the contents, and the seal member is brought into contact with the contents when not in use. Projecting in the direction of the sealing member at a height with no gap, and when using the contents, the bottom of the storage recess is pressed and deformed in the direction of the opening, thereby breaking the sealing member at the tip of the breaking projection projecting from the bottom, The contents can be discharged to the outside.

  By the way, even in the case of the above-mentioned single-use cosmetics, for example, in the case of the eyes or cheeks, cosmetics to be applied to the left and right are necessary, and the amount of cosmetic use per time may increase. For example, if the amount of cosmetics used in a single use is 2 ml until now, but the volume becomes 5 ml, the container volume and the rupture protrusion will inevitably increase with the increase in the internal volume. In the container, a strong force is required when pressing the fracture protrusion with the seal member, so the finger to be pressed may hurt, the container body may puncture from the end, etc., and the contents may leak and become dirty There is. Furthermore, since the coating member is also large, it is difficult to impregnate the coating member. For example, when the content becomes an emulsion or the like, there is a problem that it is difficult to impregnate the entire coating member.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a single-use type cosmetic container with improved usability.

<Outline configuration diagram of cosmetic container>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container 10 shown in FIG. 1 is roughly configured to include a covering tray 11, a container body (portion) 12, an application member (applicator) 13, and a film member 14.

  In FIG. 1, the cosmetic container 10 is hermetically sealed by holding the container body 12 and the application members 13-1 and 13-2 at predetermined positions by adhesion between the covering tray 11 and the film member 14. In the container body 12, the user or the like presses and deforms the recessed portion 20 of the housing portion with fingers or the like in the container body 12, whereby the sealing member 22 or the like is pressed and broken by the breaking protrusion 21. Due to this pressure break, the contents such as creamy cosmetics such as liquid or emulsion, or medicines contained in the container body 12 are discharged to the outside, and the discharged contents are arranged on the outer surface of the seal member 22. Then, it is impregnated at an appropriate position (for example, a position where the entire center, center of gravity, etc. are easily impregnated) of the application members 13-1, 13-2 such as cotton.

  Here, impregnation means, for example, a state in which the content is impregnated or applied to a sheet-shaped application member, or a state in which moisture is dried and removed from the application member after impregnation with the content, and insufficient removal (concentration of moisture). ) Is also included. In addition, the application members 13-1 and 13-2 are not limited to the above-described cotton, and it is only necessary that the contents can be adsorbed and held on the surface. Specifically, any one or a mixture thereof such as a sponge member, a flocky member, and a nonwoven fabric can be used as the application member.

  In addition, the contents such as cosmetics are impregnated in both of the application members 13-1 and 13-2, and the impregnated application members 13-1 and 13-2 are respectively pasted around either the left or right eye. Cosmetics can be applied to a predetermined part by making it stick.

  In the present embodiment, the coating tray 11 and the container body 12 can be formed of transparent or translucent, thereby easily confirming the color of the contents and the state of impregnation of the coating member from the outside. can do.

  Here, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example in which the cosmetic container shown in FIG. 1 is integrally sealed. 2A shows an example of a top view of the cosmetic container, FIG. 2B shows an example of a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic container in the AA ′ direction, and FIG. , An example of a cross-sectional view in the direction BB ′ is shown, and FIG. 2D is an example of a back view.

  Here, in FIG. 2, the covering tray 11 is formed with an accommodating convex portion 31 for accommodating the container main body 12 therein. Further, the cosmetic container 10 has a recess 20 formed on the covering tray 11 so that the container can be pushed by a user's finger or the like.

  The covering tray 11 accommodates the coating members 13-1 and 13-2, and the contents discharged when the sealing member 22 is broken from the container main body 12 by the breaking protrusion 21 described above are applied to the coating member 13-. 1 and 13-2 has an application member projection 32 having a space for impregnation.

  The film member 14 is formed to have the same dimensions as the coating tray 11 and seals the container body 12 and the coating members 13-1 and 13-2 by being sealed with the coating tray 11. In addition, although the film member 14 is using PE (polyethylene (Polyethylene)) film, for example, you may use another resin film, and the content attached to the coating members 13-1 and 13-2. Depending on the type of object, it may be paper or metal foil. Further, as the material of the back surface (outside) of the film member, PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), NY (Nylon (registered trademark) (Nylon)), and other resin films can be used.

  Further, the cover tray 11 is not ruptured by the rupture protrusion 21 but the end portion which is the seal portion between the container main body 12 and the seal member 22 is ruptured by pressing or the like, and the contents are discharged from the place. In addition, a groove 33 is formed around the container storage portion so that the contents remain at a predetermined position. Thereby, even if it is a case where it breaks from the circumference | surroundings of a storage part and a content is discharged, the leak of a content, etc. can be suppressed. Moreover, the rigidity of the coating tray 11 itself can be ensured by forming the groove portion 33. In addition, the sealing member 22 in the present embodiment can be used by selecting a material that is relatively easy to break, such as a metal foil such as aluminum, paper, or cloth, according to the contents to be stored.

  Further, the cover tray 11 is formed with, for example, a bent portion 34 that can be bent to the left and right with respect to the AA ′ direction. However, the sheet member 22 can be easily broken.

  The bent portion 34-1 is formed on the covering tray 11, and a total of two bent portions 34-2 and 34-3 are formed above and below the arrow AA ′ direction on the groove portion 33. ing. Thereby, it can be made easy to make it fracture | rupture from desired positions (for example, center position of the container main body 12, etc.) by folding the covering tray 11 at the time of use.

  Further, since the covering tray 11 is designed to cover the entire surface of the container body 12 in order to prevent leakage, it is necessary to provide a hole through which air escapes. Therefore, the covering tray 11 may be configured to have at least one air hole discharged from the container body 12. As the position of the air hole, for example, it is preferable to provide the air hole at or around the recess 20. Specifically, for example, air holes 35-1a and 35-1b are provided at predetermined positions on the outer periphery of the recess. By providing an air hole at this position, the container body 12 is the most recessed portion when crushed by pressing deformation, so that leakage of contents from the air hole can be prevented.

  Furthermore, the positions of the air holes are not limited to the above-described air holes 35-1a and 35-1b. For example, the air holes 35-2a and 35-2b may be provided in the ridge line portion formed by the recessed portion 20. Alternatively, the air hole 35-3 may be provided in the center of the recess 20.

  Furthermore, it is sufficient that at least one air hole is formed. Even if two or more air holes are provided, even if one of the air holes may be blocked by a finger, the inside is sealed when being deformed (when opened). By preventing it, smooth penetration of the contents into the application member can be promoted.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 (D), the covering tray 11 and the film member 14 are provided with the four-corner seal areas 36-1 to 36-4. Thereby, the covering tray 11 and the film member 14 can be peeled off smoothly.

  In order to make it easy to peel off from the covering tray 11, grip margins 37-1 and 37-2 may be provided in the gouge-eye seal region 36-1 and the seal member 36-4.

  In the meantime, when the user opens from the gouge eye seal area 36-1 or 36-4, the goose eye seal areas 36-2 and 36-3 are not provided with a finger in consideration of easiness of opening. In other words, the opening from the side of the gouge eye seal areas 36-2 and 36-3 is applied with a force substantially parallel to the seal portion, so that the unsealing strength is considerably increased. . Further, by lowering the entire portion by, for example, about several millimeters, a large area of the finger hold can be secured so that the user can easily open it.

  Here, it is preferable that the radius of the chamfered portion R1 of the ridge line portion obtained by providing the recessed portion 20 shown in FIG. 2B is 2.0 to 3.0 mm. If the radius is smaller than 2.0 mm, the tip will be sharp when crushed, and the finger will hurt. If the radius is larger than 3.0 mm, the ridge will be less noticeable and This is because it is difficult to recognize as a place to press.

  Further, it is preferable that the radius of the chamfered portion R2 of the ring seal 38 shown in FIG. Thereby, when opening from one side, a seal part can be peeled off smoothly without changing the direction of hand-handling or peeling off in the middle.

  The radius at this time is preferably larger than about 10 mm, for example, and preferably smaller than about 15 mm. This is because when the radius of the chamfered portion R2 is smaller than 10 mm, it is difficult to peel it off once unless the hand is changed. When it is larger than 15 mm, the recessed portion of the covering tray 11 becomes larger. This is because the application member 13 is greatly deviated from the original set position, for example, during transportation. Therefore, specifically, the radius of the chamfered portion R2 may be in the range of, for example, about 10 to 15 mm, and particularly preferably in the range of about 12 to 14 mm.

  Furthermore, the seal width of the ring seal 39 that seals the inside by adhering the storage portion of the container main body 12 and the seal member 22 shown in FIG. In order to prevent this, the ring seal width of the potion can be arbitrarily changed according to the capacity of the contents. The ring width of the ring seal 39 is preferably about 2 to 3 mm, for example. This is because if the ring width is smaller than 2 mm, the frequency of punctures increases due to insufficient sealing strength. If the ring width is larger than 3 mm, it is difficult to remove the remaining contents with a finger. It is.

  For example, when the seal width is 1.5 mm, the seal peel strength is about 10 N, and when the seal width is 3.0 mm, the seal peel strength is about 15 to 20 N. That is, by increasing the width of the ring seal 39 in the container body 12, the seal strength is increased and the frequency of punctures can be suppressed. In the present embodiment, even if the container is punctured, the back surface of the container main body 12 is covered with the covering tray 11, so that leakage due to rebounding can be prevented, and no contamination to the surroundings occurs.

<Another embodiment of coating tray 11>
Next, another embodiment of the covering tray described above will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example for explaining an example of another embodiment of the covering tray.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the coating tray 41 has a “PUSH” mark 42 in the center, and has at least one predetermined shape so that the pressing position becomes clear. A convex portion 43 is provided. Accordingly, by using the covering tray 41 as shown in FIG. 3, the user can clearly know the position to push and can be surely pushed by pressing. In the example shown in FIG. 3, three round-shaped convex portions are arranged in parallel. However, in the present invention, the number, position, shape, and the like of the convex portions are not limited to this.

  Here, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of another convex shape in the covering tray. The convex shape in the present embodiment may be, for example, a triangular convex portion 44-1 or a rectangular convex portion 44-2 as shown in FIG. The convex portion 44-3 may be used.

  In addition, although the “PUSH” mark 42 is engraved on the covering tray 41 shown in FIG. 4, other characters (including other languages) may be written, and no mark is written. Also good. Furthermore, only the mark may be engraved and the convex portion may not be formed, or the concave portion may be formed instead of the convex portion.

  Moreover, FIG. 5 is a figure which shows an example of other embodiment of the back surface of a coating | coated tray. In the case of the covering tray 51 shown in FIG. 5, the goby eye seal regions 36-1 and 36-4 shown in FIG. 2D may be curved inward to make it easier for a finger to grasp.

  Further, the covering tray 11 shown in FIG. 2 (D) does not have a grip margin (finger grip) in the gouge seal areas 36-2 and 36-3, but as shown in FIG. A gripping allowance may be provided in the areas 36-2 and 36-3.

<About the shape of the container body>
Next, a specific example of the shape of the container body will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the container body shape in the present embodiment. 6A to 6C show a view of the container body 50 from above and a cross-sectional view thereof. Here, the shape of the container main body shown in FIG. 6 is preferably a shape that is pushed straight during use because the cause of the puncture is that the container main body is pushed obliquely. In use, the finger is not hurt when the portion is pushed in with the user's finger or the like.

  Here, in each of the container main bodies 50-1 to 50-3 shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the contents 52 are accommodated in the accommodating portions 51-1 to 51-3 and sealed by the seal member 53. ing. Here, the storage units 51-1 to 51-3 are pressed from the outside of the storage units 51-1 to 51-3 with a finger or the like, for example, in the direction of arrow F shown in FIGS. The outer shape is deformed, and the tip of the breaking protrusion 54 at the center breaks through the seal member 53 to discharge the contents.

  Here, it is preferable that the thickness of the accommodating parts 51-1 to 51-3 is 0.1 to 0.3 mm. Thereby, it can prevent that a finger becomes painful at the time of the press deformation of the accommodating part 51. FIG. The accommodating part 51 is formed of, for example, a PP (polypropylene) sheet or other resin. In addition, if the buckling strength when pushing the corner portion at a speed of 50 (mm / min) is 30 N or less, no pain is felt.

  For example, in the container main body 50-1 shown in FIG. 6A, the dent 55 is provided at the center, and both the thumbs of the user are placed on the dent 55, so that the breaking protrusion 54 can be made substantially vertical. The seal member 53 is reached, the seal member is broken, and the contents 52 can be discharged (dotted line portion in FIG. 6A).

  Furthermore, in the recessed part 55 of FIG. 6 (A), it is preferable that the radius of the chamfered part R3 is about 1.5 to 2.0 mm. This is because when the radius of the chamfered portion R3 is smaller than 1.5 mm, the tip of the ridge line portion of the container body and the covering tray is sharp when pressed and deformed during use, and it hurts when hit with a finger. Further, when the radius of the chamfered portion R3 is larger than 2.0 mm, the ridge line is not conspicuous and is difficult to recognize as a place to be pressed with a finger.

  Furthermore, the radius of the chamfered portion R4 is preferably about 20 to 30 mm. Thereby, the concave shape corresponding to the shape of the finger can be formed.

  In addition, the radius of the chamfered portion R5 in FIG. 6A and the chamfered portion R6 in FIG. 6B is preferably about 1.5 to 2.5 mm. This is because if the radius of the chamfered portions R5 and R6 is smaller than 1.5 mm, it will hurt when the finger hits during use. If the radius is larger than 2.5 mm, the straight portion of the corner projection becomes shorter and the corner becomes shorter. This is because the strength of the part increases and it becomes difficult to be crushed, and it also hurts when hitting the finger.

  In addition, the shape of the accommodating part in this invention is not limited to this, For example, as shown to FIG. 6 (B), you may make it the structure which does not have the recessed part 54, and FIG. ), A finger print portion 56 may be formed and a finger placed on the place to be pressed.

  In addition, the container main body shape can accommodate a suitable amount of contents according to the purpose of use and provide it to the user or the like by providing a concave portion corresponding to the amount of the contents as appropriate.

  In addition, it is easy to give the container body airtightness and liquid-tightness by using resin material, aluminum foil, etc. for the storage part and the sealing member. Provision without leakage or the like is possible.

  Two or more breaking protrusions 54 shown in FIG. 6 may be provided, and the tip shape may be, for example, a conical shape or a polygonal pyramid shape.

  As described above, according to the present invention, a single-use type cosmetic container with improved usability can be provided. In addition, according to the present invention, a cosmetic container with good usability can be provided even when the content volume of the contents is increased.

  Moreover, since the cosmetic container mentioned above is a transparent or semi-transparent container main body, especially the content in which a color is important, such as a lipstick and a foundation, can confirm the color of a content from the outside easily. Therefore, it becomes possible for the user and the user or the like to make a selection according to his / her preference, and a product having excellent functionality as a product or a sample can be obtained.

  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention described in the claims for utility model registration. Modifications and changes are possible.
