JP4051508B2 - Liquid cosmetic container - Google Patents

Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to an improvement of a liquid cosmetic container for applying particularly fine details such as mascara, eyeliner, and manicure.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, liquid cosmetic containers such as mascara, eyeliner, manicia, etc., hang an applicator provided with an application part at the tip from the cap, immerse this applicator in the cosmetic in the container and pull it out. Cosmetics remaining in the application part were applied.
[0003]
However, since cosmetics such as mascara and eyeliner are applied around the eyes, it is necessary to apply them finely, and careful attention is required when applying them. Further, the length of the applicator that is easy to apply varies depending on the individual user, and the user merely endures the applicator provided. Thus, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 56-108807 proposes a compact cosmetic applicator in which an applicator is slidably housed in a cap. In the case of this configuration, the entire length of the applicator can be adjusted to a desired length, that is, a length that is easy to apply by sliding the cap.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since the above-described configuration is intended to be compact when being carried, when adjusting the length of the applicator to your liking, the cap slides unless the cap is fitted to the container body. The operation could not be performed. Further, when the cap is slid in the extending direction, the portion of the container main body that enters the cap and the insertion tube portion are exposed to the outside, which is very unsightly. Accordingly, it is necessary to slide the cap every time the cap is removed, which is very troublesome.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A container body 2 having a bottomed cylinder containing the liquid cosmetic 1, a neck cylinder 3 fastened to the upper end of the container body 2, and a funnel-like wiping portion 8 fastened in the neck cylinder 3 A wiping member 6 formed from a rubber material, an inner cap 10 screwed into the neck tube 3 to seal the inside of the container body 2, and suspended from the ceiling surface 12 of the inner cap 10, and an application portion at the tip The coating rod 16 is provided with an inner cap 10 and the outer cap 17 is provided with an inner cap 10, and the inner cap 10 cannot be rotated into the outer cap 17 but is slidable with some resistance. The inner diameter of the cap 17 is made larger than the outer diameter of the container body 2 so that the outer cap 17 covers the upper part of the container body 2. Further, the outer wall of the container body 2 is decorated to serve as a mark 21 for the slide position of the outer cap 17.
[0006]
[Action]
The outer cap 17 is slidable in a state in which the lid B is fitted to the container main body A. Therefore, by sliding the outer cap 17, the position of the inner cap 10 in the outer cap 17, that is, the length of the application bar 16 protruding from the outer cap 17, can be adjusted, and the optimal protrusion for the user is achieved. Can be adjusted to the amount. Further, since the outer cap 17 has the inner cap 10 slidably mounted with a certain amount of resistance, the sliding position of the outer cap 17 will not be changed carelessly.
[0007]
Further, when the outer cap 17 is rotated, the inner cap 10 is engaged with the outer cap 17 so as not to rotate, so that the screwing of the inner cap 10 and the neck tube 3 is released, and the lid B can be removed. It becomes. When the lid B is pulled out, the application part 18 passes through the wiping part 8 of the wiping member 6, whereby the liquid cosmetic 1 attached to the application part 18 is adjusted to an appropriate amount and extracted.
[0008]
【Example】
As an embodiment of the present invention, a container containing the liquid cosmetic 1 of mascara and eyeliner will be described. First, the container body A will be described. The container body 2 containing the liquid cosmetic 1 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a neck tube 3 is fastened to the upper end.
[0009]
The neck 3 is vertically penetrated, and a portion exposed from the upper end of the container body 2 of the neck 3 is a neck 4 having a reduced outer diameter. A male screw 5 is screwed around the outer periphery of the neck portion 4. A wiping member 6 is housed inside the neck portion 4.
[0010]
The wiping member 6 has a cylindrical shape and is formed of an elastic material such as rubber. The upper end of the wiping member 6 protrudes from the upper end of the neck tube 3 to form a contact portion 7. A funnel-shaped wiping portion 8 is provided on the inner wall of the wiping member 6. A through hole 9 is formed in the center of the wiping portion 8.
[0011]
Next, the lid B that fits into the container main body A will be described. The inner cap 10 is configured to be fitted to the neck portion 4 of the container main body A, and a female screw 11 into which the male screw 5 of the neck portion 4 is screwed is screwed to the inner wall. In addition, a ceiling surface 12 is provided in the inner cap 10, and when the neck tube 3 is screwed, the contact portion 7 of the wiping member 6 comes into contact to seal the inside of the container body 2. On the outer wall of the inner cap 10, rotation prevention pieces 13 are provided at one place or a plurality of places. Further, a concave groove 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the inner cap 10. An O-ring 15 formed from a rubber material, an elastomer, or the like is wound around the concave groove 14. An application rod 16 is suspended from the ceiling surface 12 of the inner cap 10. The inner cap 10 is slidably mounted in the outer cap 17.
[0012]
An application part 18 corresponding to the liquid cosmetic 1 accommodated in the container body 2 is provided at the tip of the application bar 16. When the application bar 16 is inserted into the container body 2, the application bar 16 penetrates the through hole 9 of the wiping unit 8 and is immersed in the liquid cosmetic 1. When the application bar 16 is removed, the liquid cosmetic 1 attached to the application bar 16 is wiped off by the wiping unit 8 and the liquid cosmetic 1 attached to the application unit 18 is wiped off to an appropriate amount. It has become so.
[0013]
The outer cap 17 has a guide groove 19 corresponding to the rotation preventing piece 13 which engages with the inner wall with the rotation preventing piece 13 of the inner cap 10 and guides the inner cap 10 so as not to rotate. It is engraved. Further, the O-ring 15 of the inner cap 10 has elasticity and is in contact with the inner wall of the outer cap 17 so that the inner cap 10 slides in the outer cap 17 with an appropriate resistance. Further, a retaining ring 20 is fixed to the opening of the outer cap 17 so that the inner cap 10 cannot be removed. The length of the outer cap 17 is such that at least the application portion 18 protrudes outward from the lower end of the outer cap 17 when the inner cap 10 contacts the ceiling surface of the outer cap 17. The inner diameter of the outer cap 17 is larger than the outer diameter of the container body 2, and the upper portion of the container body 2 also enters the outer cap 17 when the container body A is fitted. As a result, the outer cap 17 is slidable in a state in which the lid B is fitted to the container main body A, and the protruding amount of the application bar 16 from the outer cap 17 can be adjusted. In the embodiment of the present invention, the sliding resistance of the outer cap 17 is given by the elasticity of the O-ring 15, but an elastic tongue piece is provided on the outer wall of the inner cap 10, and this tongue piece is attached to the outer cap 17. Sliding resistance can also be imparted by sliding on the inner wall.
[0014]
If the outer wall of the container body 2 of the container main body A is provided with a pattern, a dot, or the like, or a mark 21 or a mark 21, a mark of the protrusion amount of the user's favorite application bar 16 is provided. 21, so that it can be quickly adjusted to the desired amount of protrusion the next time it is used. This is also an accent on design and decoration.
[0015]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention is configured so that the inner diameter of the outer cap 17 configured to be slidable is larger than the outer diameter of the container body 2 and covers the upper portion of the container body 2. Even if it is slid to the position, only the amount of protrusion from the outer cap 17 of the container body 2 changes, so that a large change in appearance does not appear, so that the user does not feel uncomfortable. . Moreover, if the design of the container body 2 is made such that the mark 21 is a dot or a striped pattern, the amount of protrusion of the application bar 16 can be confirmed even with the lid B left on. Further, since the O-ring 15, which is an elastic material, is interposed between the outer cap 17 and the inner cap 10, the outer cap 17 requires a certain amount of resistance, and the outer cap 17 slides carelessly. Is prevented.
