Description

  The present invention relates to a sponge foundation manufacturing apparatus and a sponge foundation manufacturing method capable of efficiently mass-producing high quality sponge foundation by uniformly impregnating a cosmetic material in a sponge disposed in a container without staining the container. .

  In general, conventional foundations are manufactured by dispersing and mixing a small amount of fats and oils with cosmetic powder, and filling and solidifying the cosmetic powder in a container such as an aluminum dish and a resin dish.

  In such foundations, there are many solid powder cosmetics solidified under pressure, and when it is actually applied to the skin surface using a sponge puff etc., it is difficult to apply uniformly on the skin surface, and there are many powder components. Therefore, there is a problem in the moisturizing property (the feeling of coating surface feeling), and the user who is weak to sebum and sweat etc. has a problem that the entire coating surface becomes dull as time passes after application.

  On the other hand, in the case of a liquid foundation, it becomes possible to use a wide range of formulations such as a dispersed liquid, an emulsified liquid, a gel-like liquid foundation, etc. It has the advantage of being excellent in gender and greatly improving the degree of freedom in formulation, usability and usability.

  By the way, in the case of foundations of a structure which arranges a sponge in a container and impregnates this sponge with a makeup material, the method of impregnating the sponge in a container uniformly with a makeup material is especially difficult.

  For example, in a state where the sponge is incorporated in the container, the cosmetic material is filled at a specified amount or one point from the upper surface of the sponge, and the cosmetic material fills the entire sponge even if it is pushed from the top while adjusting the speed with a cylindrical member. Is not impregnated, it runs over the top and periphery of the upper surface of the sponge, causing the problem that the container does not become a dirty product.

  In addition, there is also a means of providing multiple nozzles such as injection burrs at the time of filling the cosmetic material and inserting this nozzle into the trouserage to fill the cosmetic material. In this case, it is possible that the cosmetic material impregnates the entire sponge It is also difficult to commercialize.

  Furthermore, the sponge fixing ring and the sponge provided in the container may be removed, the cosmetic material may be filled in a specified amount, and then the sponge may be inserted and pushed from the top while adjusting the speed with the cylindrical member. The cosmetic material is not sufficiently impregnated, and the cosmetic material may protrude from the outer peripheral portion of the sponge, and in this case also, it is impossible to produce a product.

  That is, in the various filling methods as described above, it is difficult to uniformly impregnate the sponge in the container with the cosmetic material, and it is impossible to mass-produce foundations of good quality.

  In Patent Document 1, the gel container is filled with a fixed amount of gel foundation, the carrier is placed on the gel foundation, and the overflow preventing member is placed on the cosmetic container in which the carrier is charged. The foundation in the cosmetic container is impregnated with the foundation by adopting a series of steps of moving the compression member disposed in the overflow preventing member up and down, and reciprocating the operation to the upper limit, and then removing the overflow preventing member from the cosmetic container. A method is disclosed.

  However, in the case of this patent document 1, although the number of times of filling of the gel-like foundation is one, it is presumed that the suction repeating method is adopted using the overflow preventing member provided with the pressing member, etc. Is a complicated method of impregnating foundation which takes time to wash the foundation color.
