  However, in a conventional hair dyeing device provided with a comb body and a sandwiching member, the operation of sandwiching the hair with the comb body and the sandwiching member and the operation of discharging the hair cosmetic must be performed separately, which is complicated. is there.

  In addition, since the hair cosmetics continue to be discharged while the squeeze container is being pressed by hand or while the aerosol container stem is being pressed in, the maximum discharge amount of one discharge operation is not determined, and the hair makeup The material may be discharged excessively.

  On the other hand, the present invention makes it possible to discharge hair cosmetics by an operation of holding the hair between the comb body and the holding member, and prevents excessive discharge of the hair cosmetics in one discharge operation, An object is to enable an appropriate amount to be easily discharged.

  According to the present invention, a liquid supply tool that takes the form of a comb body and a clamping tool that takes the form of a rod-like member are attached to a container equipped with a pump device, and the hair is held between the liquid supply tool and the gripping tool. It has been found that if the piston of the pump device can be moved, it is possible to simultaneously hold the hair and discharge the liquid hair cosmetic in one operation and to make the maximum discharge amount constant by one operation.

That is, the present invention provides a container body that contains a liquid,
A pump device provided at the mouth of the container body,
A liquid supply tool that communicates with the container body via the pump device and has a discharge hole;
A holding tool rotatably attached to the liquid supply tool, and an operation section extended to the holding tool;
When the operation unit is pressed toward the container body side, the distance between the clamping unit and the liquid supply tool is narrowed, and the piston of the pump device is moved to provide a coating container in which liquid is discharged from the discharge hole of the liquid supply tool. .

  Moreover, this invention provides hair cosmetics, such as a hair dye accommodated in the container main body of this application container.

  According to the application container of the present invention, since the piston of the pump device can be moved by the operation of holding the hair with the liquid supply tool and the holding tool, one operation can be performed by storing the liquid hair cosmetic in the container body. Thus, it is possible to simultaneously hold the hair by the liquid supply tool and the holding tool and to discharge the hair cosmetic from the liquid supply tool.

  In this case, the discharge amount of the hair cosmetic is determined according to the volume change amount due to the movement of the piston of the measuring chamber in the pump device defined by the piston and the cylinder. The discharge amount is constant. Therefore, the problem of excessive discharge, in which the hair cosmetic material continues to be discharged while the hair is held between the liquid supply tool and the holding tool, is solved, and an appropriate amount can be easily discharged.

  Further, in the coating container of the present invention, the liquid supply tool is formed from a rod-shaped member having a liquid passage inside and having discharge holes formed along the longitudinal direction of the liquid passage, and the holding tool is formed from a comb body. By doing so, it becomes possible to supply much hair cosmetics to the base of the hair clamped by the liquid supply tool and the clamping tool. Therefore, such an application container is particularly useful for application of a hair dye that sufficiently performs hair dyeing at the base of the hair.

  On the other hand, in the application container of the present invention, the liquid supply tool is formed from a comb body in which a comb tooth base portion in which a liquid passage is formed and a comb tooth in which discharge holes are formed are arranged, and the holding tool is a rod-shaped member By forming from this, it becomes possible to supply hair cosmetics entirely to the hair clamped with the liquid supply tool and the clamping tool. Therefore, such an application container is particularly useful for application of a hair cosmetic that is applied to the entire hair such as a straight permanent agent or a treatment agent.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same numerals indicate the same or equivalent components.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an initial state of an application container 100A according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 and 3 are front views of a modified embodiment of a rod-shaped liquid supply tool, and FIG. FIG. 5-7 is sectional drawing showing the effect | action of the hair cosmetic applicator 200A which accommodated hair cosmetics in the container main body of the application container 100A.

  The application container 100A is formed of a container body 1 that stores liquid hair cosmetic A, a pump device 20, a rod-shaped liquid supply tool 30, a comb body 40, and a lever-like operation unit 50 that extends to the comb body 40. Has been.

  The container body 1 is a double container in which an inner bag 3 made of a film is laminated and molded inside the outer container 2. An air hole 5 that allows outside air to enter between the outer container 2 and the inner bag 3 is formed in the outer container 2 of the mouth portion 4 of the container body 1. Therefore, the inner bag 3 is always pushed at atmospheric pressure, and the inner volume of the inner bag 3 decreases according to the discharge of the hair cosmetic A. Therefore, the inner bag 3 is peeled off from the outer container 2 as indicated by the broken line, and gradually. It will be crushed.

  A pump device 20 is placed on the mouth portion 4 of the container body 1 via the packing 6, and the cylinder 22 of the pump device 20 is attached to the mouth portion 4 of the container body 1 by a cap 7 screwed into the outer container 2. It is fixed.

  The cylinder 22 of the pump device 20 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and has a check valve (suction valve) 23 at the bottom thereof. A piston 21 is fitted inside the cylinder 22 so as to be watertight and slidable. A check valve (discharge valve) 24 is provided at the tip of the piston 21 (on the side opposite to the cylinder 22). As these check valves 23 and 24, a resin spring valve, a one-point valve, a three-point valve, a ball valve, or the like can be used.

  A spring material 25 such as a coil spring is mounted between the bottom of the piston 21 and the bottom of the cylinder 22. When the piston 21 is pushed down to the container body 1 side, the piston 21 is attached in the opposite direction. To force.

  On the upper outer surface of the piston 21, a pair of columnar protrusions 26 are formed perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the piston 21.

  A rod-shaped liquid supply tool 30 extends in the longitudinal direction of the piston 21 at the upper end of the piston 21. The liquid supply tool 30 has a liquid flow path 31 therein, and a plurality of discharge holes 32 are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the liquid flow path 31 on the side surface facing the comb body 40. The formation mode of the discharge holes 32 is not limited to this, and may be a slit-like discharge hole 32b along the liquid passage 31 as shown in FIG. 2, or as shown in FIG. It is good also as what combined the discharge hole 32b and the discharge hole 32a larger diameter than the slit width of this discharge hole 32b.

  On the other hand, the cap 7 is provided with a support wall 8 extending obliquely, and a bearing hole 9 is formed at an end thereof. A shaft 51 formed at one end of the operation unit 50 is inserted into the bearing hole 9, and the operation unit 50 and the comb body 40 formed integrally rotate around the shaft 51. .

  The operation part 50 has an opening 52 through which the piston 21 penetrates, and a rib 53 for pressing down the protruding part 26 formed on the outer surface of the piston 21 is formed on the inner wall (FIG. 4). Therefore, by pressing the operation unit 50 toward the container body 1, the operation unit 50 rotates about the shaft 51, and accordingly, the rib 53 pushes the protrusion 26 downward (suction valve 23 side). The piston 21 moves downward in the cylinder 22. Further, as the operation unit 50 rotates about the shaft 51, the comb body 40 rotates to the liquid supply unit 30 side, and these distances are reduced.

  The comb body 40 is provided as a clamping tool for clamping the hair between the comb body 40 and the rod-shaped liquid supply tool 30 in the coating container 100A. A plurality of comb teeth 41 are arranged in the comb body 40, and this comb tooth row is a liquid supply unit when the comb body 40 is rotated about the shaft 51 until it contacts the liquid supply tool 30. It is provided so as to overlap with the row of ejection holes 32 formed in 30.

  Examples of the hair cosmetic A stored in the container body 1 of the application container 100A include various liquid hair cosmetics such as a hair dye, a permanent agent, a treatment agent, and a hair styling agent. As described later, it is particularly suitable for applying hair cosmetics to the roots of hair, so it contains hair cosmetics such as hair dyes that are required to supply sufficient agents to the hair roots. It is preferable to do.

  A hair cosmetic applicator 200A containing a hair cosmetic A such as a hair dye in the container body 1 can be used as follows. First, a finger is put on the lever-like operation unit 50 to hold the hair cosmetic applicator 200A, and the rod-shaped liquid supply tool 30 is inserted into the root of the hair to which the hair cosmetic is to be applied, as shown in FIG. As described above, the operation unit 50 is pressed toward the container body 1 side. As a result, the operation unit 50 and the comb body 40 rotate about the shaft 51, and accordingly, the ribs 53 formed on the inner wall of the operation unit 50 are formed on the outer surface of the piston 21. Is pushed downward (suction valve 23 side), the piston 21 moves downward in the cylinder 22 against the bias of the spring material 25, and the measuring chamber of the pump device 20 defined by the cylinder 22 and the piston 21. 27 is compressed. Accordingly, the discharge valve 24 is opened, and the air accumulated in the measuring chamber 27 is discharged from the discharge hole 32. Further, the hair is held between the comb body 40 and the liquid supply tool 30.

  FIG. 5B shows a state where the operation unit 50 has been pushed into the container body 1 side. When the pressing of the operation unit 50 is released from this state, the piston 21 moves upward as shown in FIG. 6C by the repulsive force of the contracted spring material 25, and the inside of the measuring chamber 27 is depressurized. Become. Accordingly, the suction valve 23 is opened, and the hair cosmetic A is sucked into the measuring chamber 27. At this time, the protruding portion 26 formed on the outer surface of the piston 21 pushes up the rib 53 formed on the inner wall of the operation portion 50, so that the operation portion 50 and the comb body 40 are centered on the shaft 51. It rotates as follows. Thus, as shown in FIG. 6D, the measuring chamber 27 is enlarged.

  Next, as shown in FIG.7 (e), the operation part 50 is again pressed to the container main body 1 side. As a result, the piston 21 moves downward as described above, the measuring chamber 27 is compressed, and the discharge valve 24 is opened. Then, the hair cosmetic material A accumulated in the measuring chamber 27 is discharged from the discharge hole 32. At this time, the hair is sandwiched between the liquid supply tool 30 and the comb body 40. Accordingly, the hair cosmetic A can be discharged and the hair can be sandwiched at the same time by one operation of pressing the operation unit 50 toward the container body 1. Furthermore, in this case, the maximum discharge amount of the hair cosmetic A is a constant amount according to the volume change amount of the measuring chamber 27 due to the vertical movement of the piston 21. Therefore, the problem that the hair cosmetic material continues to be discharged while the operation unit 50 is pressed toward the container body 1 does not occur, and an appropriate amount can be easily applied to the hair at all times. Further, the hair cosmetic A is discharged from the root of the hair held between the liquid supply tool 30 and the comb body 40, and after the hair cosmetic A is discharged, the hair is held between the liquid supply tool 30 and the comb body 40. You can comb your hair. Therefore, it is possible to spread the hair cosmetic throughout the entire hair while sufficiently supplying the hair cosmetic A to the base of the hair.

  Thereafter, a certain amount of hair cosmetic A can be repeatedly discharged by repeatedly pressing and releasing the operation unit 50. With the discharge of the hair cosmetic A, the remaining amount of the hair cosmetic A stored in the inner bag 3 of the container body 1 decreases, but the inner bag 3 peels off from the outer container 2 and is removed from the air hole 5. Since air enters between the container 2 and the inner bag 3 and atmospheric pressure is constantly applied to the inner bag 3, the inner bag 3 is crushed according to the remaining amount of the hair cosmetic A. Therefore, the hair cosmetic applicator 200A can discharge the hair cosmetic A in any direction when in use.

  FIG. 8 is a sectional view of an initial state of a hair cosmetic applicator 200B according to a different embodiment of the present invention. In the above-described hair cosmetic applicator 200A, a double container comprising the outer container 2 and the inner bag 3 is used as the container body 1, whereas in the hair cosmetic applicator 200B, the hair cosmetic A is discharged. The other difference is the same, except that a piston bottle provided with a movable inner tray 10 that gradually rises from the bottom of the container to the pump device 20 side is used.

  In the present invention, as the container body 1, a tube container or a pouch container made of a soft flexible material such as polyethylene or polypropylene can be used. However, the container can be kept upright. Double containers and piston containers are preferred.

  FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view (a) in an initial state of a hair cosmetic applicator 200C in a different mode and the operation unit 50 is pressed against the container body 1 side to bring the comb body 33 and the rod-shaped member 42 into contact with each other. It is sectional drawing (b) of a state.

  In the hair cosmetic applicator 200C, the liquid supply tool is composed of the comb body 33, the sandwiching tool is composed of the rod-shaped member 42, and the comb body 33 and the rod-shaped member 42 can sandwich the hair. The comb body 33 includes a comb tooth base 35 having a liquid passage 34 formed therein, and a plurality of comb teeth 36 arranged on the comb tooth base 35. A discharge hole 37 communicating with the liquid path 34 is formed. Further, when the operation unit 50 is pressed so that the hair can be clamped between the comb body 33 and the rod-shaped member 42, a groove 43 is formed on the surface of the rod-shaped member 42 that contacts the comb tooth row of the comb body 33. .

  As a method of using this hair cosmetic applicator 200C, first, the rod-like member 42 is inserted into the base of the hair to which the hair cosmetic A is to be applied, and the operation unit 50 is pressed toward the container body 1 side. Accordingly, a predetermined amount of the hair cosmetic A is discharged from the discharge holes 37 formed in the comb teeth 36 of the comb body 33, and the hair can be held between the comb body 33 and the rod-shaped member 42. In this case, since the hair cosmetic A is discharged from the vicinity of the rod-like member 42 inserted into the hair root, the hair cosmetic applicator 200C supplies sufficient hair cosmetic to the hair root. be able to. Therefore, the hair cosmetic applicator 200C is also suitable for application of a hair dye or the like that is required to supply the agent to the base of the hair.

  The hair cosmetic applicator of the present invention can further take various aspects. For example, in the hair cosmetic applicator 200C of FIG. 9, the formation position of the discharge hole 37 in the comb tooth 36 may be on the center portion side or the comb tooth base portion 35 side of the comb tooth 36. As a result, when the hair is sandwiched between the comb body 33 and the rod-shaped member 42, the hair cosmetic is discharged slightly on the tip side from the base of the hair. Therefore, the hair cosmetic applicator in which the discharge holes 37 are formed in such a manner is suitable for application of a straight permanent agent, a treatment agent and the like that are required to apply the agent uniformly to the entire hair.

  The application container of the present invention can be applied as an application container for various liquid hair cosmetics such as a hair dye, a permanent agent, a treatment agent, and a hair styling agent.
