Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mascara container, and is intended to achieve uniform application of maracas by simplifying adjustment of the bending degree and stabilizing the application posture of the application chip provided in the container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The mascara container is composed of a container body that contains the mascara and a cap that is integrally provided with a rod having an application tip that seals the container body and can take out an appropriate amount of the mascara in the container body.
[0003]
Such a container can be applied with mascara by removing the cap and pulling the rod out of the container body, but the application tip for applying the mascara is easier and moreover uniform coating is possible. In this regard, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-45626 is referred to as a document relating to this point.
[0004]
By the way, the conventional mascara container requires a large force when bending the application tip, and the degree of bending of the application tip can easily change during the application of the mascara. Is leaving a problem.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to propose a mascara container having a good posture stability that can be bent easily with an appropriate force and that can maintain its posture as it is during application of the mascara.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a mascara container comprising a container main body for storing mascara, and an applicator for removing and applying an appropriate amount of mascara in the container main body with a cap that is screwed and sealed to the mouth of the container main body,
The applicator is held by a cap and is accommodated in the container body when the cap is screwed, and an opening that surrounds the elastic rod along the longitudinal direction thereof and is connected to the tip of the elastic rod at the tip. And a spherical body that is rotatably held between the distal end of the elastic rod and the inner distal end portion of the annular rod, and is pivotally supported by the spherical body through the opening of the annular body. Consisting of coating chips,
A spring member (region) that presses the spherical body against the inner wall of the annular body with a certain force is integrally provided in the vicinity of the tip of the elastic rod ,
The spherical body is a mascara container characterized in that it has a rounded portion at the tip and has a convex portion that is locally brought into contact with the tip of the elastic rod .
[0007]
The annular body preferably has a spherical surface that contacts the spherical body.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an entire maraca container according to the present invention.
[0009]
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container main body for storing maracas, and 2 denotes a member that is fitted in the liquid-tight state to the opening of the container main body 1 to form a mouth portion of the container main body 1, and has a threaded portion on its outer periphery. ing.
[0010]
Further, 3 is a pressing member that is held between the container main body 1 and the member 2 and adjusts the degree of adhesion of maracas to the coating tip, and 4 is a cap having a screw portion that engages with the screw portion of the member 2. .
[0011]
Reference numeral 5 denotes an applicator. One end of the applicator 5 is fixedly held to the cap 4 and is elastically accommodated in the container main body 1 when the cap 4 is screwed, and around the elastic rod 5a in the longitudinal direction. And an annular body 5b having an opening h that surrounds and is connected to the tip of the elastic rod 5a at the front end portion, and is rotatably supported by pressing between the front end of the elastic rod 5a and the inner wall of the front end portion of the annular body 5b. A coating tip 5c that is supported by the spherical body K through the opening h of the annular body 5b. The spherical body K protrusions K ₁ which sinks locally contact with the tip of the elastic rod 5a has such curved surface of radius is provided at the tip.
[0012]
In the maraca container having the above-described configuration, a spring member s integrated with the elastic rod 5a is provided in the vicinity of the tip of the elastic rod 5a so that the spherical body K has a spherical surface that fits the spherical body K. The annular body 5b is pressed against the inner wall with a certain force (a force that can rotate the spherical body with an appropriate force to bend the coating tip).
[0013]
FIG. 2 is an enlarged view showing a main part of the container shown in FIG. The coating tip 5c can be easily bent by simply rotating the spherical body K within the inner wall of the annular body 5b, and the spherical body K holding the coating tip 5c is integrated with the elastic rod 5a. since being pressed against the inner wall of the annular member 5b with a constant force by the spring member s tip of the protrusion K ₁ regardless of differences in the degree of flexing of the tip to the sinking coating chip 5c of the elastic rod 5a its attitude Always kept stable.
[0014]
The spring member s can be used separately from the elastic rod 5a, but there is an advantage that the number of parts can be reduced by using the structure shown in FIG.
[0015]
The spherical body K, an example is shown in which a convex portion K _1, in the present invention, possible to sink into and spheroids K in direct contact with the elastic rod 5a by changing the rigidity of the elastic rod 5a There is no particular limitation on this point.
[0016]
Since the pressing force of the elastic rod 5a acts on the tip of the annular body 5b through the spherical body K, it is desirable to use a highly rigid material such as a metal tube so that it does not easily deform.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the bending degree of the coating tip can be easily changed, and the posture can be stably maintained regardless of the difference in the bending degree.
