  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the applicator main body 4 holds the brush 2 at the tip thereof, and also corresponds to the tapered inner surface 8 of the guide member 9 of the cap 6. A brush holding portion 18 having a tapered outer surface 17 that gradually reduces its outer diameter toward the tip is provided. On the tapered outer surface 17, a plurality of engagement protrusions 19 are provided so as to enter between the engagement protrusions 12 of the cap 6 and engage with these. The engaging protrusions 12 and 19 constitute an engaging portion. When the cap 6 and the applicator main body 4 are mounted, the engaging protrusions 12 are in proximity to the tapered outer surface 17, and the engaging protrusions 19 are in proximity to the tapered inner surface 6. Further, the tapered inner surface 8 of the guide member 9 of the cap 6 and the tapered outer surface 17 of the brush holding portion 18 of the applicator main body 4 have a plurality of engaging protrusions between the engaging protrusions 12. Since 19 corresponds to the corresponding position and can move in the direction of the center line, insertion of the applicator main body 4 into the cap 6 is not prevented. On the other hand, when the applicator main body 4 is rotated around the center line of the cap 6, that is, when the applicator main body 4 and the cap 6 are screwed together, the engaging protrusions 12 and 19 are engaged with each other. Therefore, the guide member 9 and the wiper member 11 of the cap 6 rotate together with the applicator main body 4.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a metal stirring ball 20 is movably contained in the coating liquid container 7. The stirring ball 20 is used to stir and homogenize a high-viscosity cosmetic such as lame-containing liquid cosmetic that is a coating liquid stored in the coating liquid storage unit 7 by shaking and moving the applicator 1. belongs to.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the stirring ball 20 hits the tip of the brush 2 protruding from the wiper hole 10 on the guide solution 9 on the side of the coating liquid container 7 of the wiper member 11, and the guide member 9 is scattered or damaged. And a protective member 21 for preventing the movement of the stirring ball 20 is integrally provided. The protective member 21 has a cylindrical peripheral wall that is in close contact with the inner wall of the guide member 9, and rotates together with the guide member 9. The protective member 21 has a diameter smaller than that of the stirring ball 20 in the center, and the coating liquid is stored in the inner liquid reservoir 22. It has a partition plate 23 provided with a coating liquid passage hole 23a that can be passed therethrough. The stirring ball 20 hits the most distal portion of the brush 2 protruding from the partition plate 23 to prevent the final end portion from solidifying with the coating liquid and to allow the coating liquid to penetrate to the center.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the wiper member 11 is disposed so as to be adjacent to the liquid reservoir 22 side of the protective member 21, has a wiper hole 10 at the tip, and the other end is the guide described above. The member 9 has a tapered inner surface 24 continuous with the tapered inner surface 8. The wiper member 11 is made of a flexible silicon material. The wiper member 11 is disposed so as to close the liquid reservoir 22 of the protection member 21, and the wiper hole 10 at the tip thereof is located in the liquid reservoir 22 of the protection member 21.

  The usage mode of the applicator 1 configured as described above will be described below. First, in the cap mounting state (screwed state), the top and bottom of the applicator 1 are replaced, and the stirring ball 20 is moved in the coating solution storage unit 7 to thereby apply the coating solution (not shown) in the coating solution storage unit 7. ) Is agitated and the lamé is evenly distributed in the coating solution. The stirring ball 20 that moves in the coating liquid container 7 has a diameter larger than that of the coating liquid passage hole 23a of the protection member 21, and therefore does not enter the liquid reservoir 22 of the protection member 21. On the other hand, the coating liquid filled in the coating liquid storage section 7 is in a state of entering the liquid reservoir 22 of the protective member 21 through the coating liquid passage hole 23a, and the tip of the brush 2 is applied in the liquid reservoir 22. It will be in the state immersed in the liquid, and a coating liquid adheres to this brush 2 front-end | tip part. The user can remove the cap 2 and draw an eyeline using the brush 2 to which the coating liquid is attached. At this time, as will be described later, since the tip end portion of the brush 2 does not come apart, a thin line can be drawn.

  Subsequently, when the brush 2 at the tip of the applicator main body 4 is inserted into the cap 6 from its open end after the makeup is finished, the applicator main body 4 side is interposed between the plurality of engaging protrusions 12 on the cap 6 side. The plurality of engaging protrusions 19 are made to correspond and inserted into the female spiral 5 until the male spiral 3 reaches. Next, when the applicator main body 4 is rotated around the center line of the cap 6, the engaging protrusions 12 and 19 are engaged with each other, and the guide member 9, the wiper member 11, and the protection member 21 of the cap 6 are connected to the applicator main body. 4 and rotate. Thus, when the guide member 9 and the wiper member 11 of the cap 6 rotate together with the applicator main body 4, even if the brush 2 contacts the guide member 9 and the wiper member 11, the brush bristles move without being twisted. Instead, the tip of the brush 2 is guided to the wiper hole 10. Further, since the wiper member 11 is made of silicon which is a flexible material, even if the tip end portion of the brush 2 abuts on the taper inner surface 24, the taper inner surface 24 is deformed and force is applied to the tip end portion of the brush 2. Is difficult to add. When the screwing is completed, the tip end portion of the brush 2 is inserted through the coating liquid passage hole 23a, and the leading edge thereof is located in the liquid reservoir 22 of the protection member 21, and the coating liquid newly adheres.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment at all, For example, the coating liquid to apply may be other cosmetics not for eyelines. Also. The engagement protrusions 12 and 19 may be single instead of plural. Further, the protection member 21 may not be provided integrally with the guide member 9, and in this case, the protection member 21 does not rotate together with the guide member 9.
