As disclosed in Patent Document 1, a container with an applicator of this type is provided with a male screw and a female screw between the container body and the cap, and the cap can be removed by rotating the cap with respect to the container body. I have to. By the way, since the content liquid of the ironing member adheres by scraping off the content liquid of the applicator, when the cap is attached to the container body, the content liquid of the ironing member also adheres to the connecting member and solidifies as it is. It may end up. In this state, when the cap is rotated to remove it from the container body, the connecting member that rotates in conjunction with the cap causes the ironing member to co-rotate through the solidified content liquid, whereby the ironing member is deformed and the container is deformed. It sometimes came off from the main body. In particular, when a quick-drying liquid such as mascara is used as the content liquid, such a problem tends to occur.

The present invention has an object to solve such a problem, and prevents the problem that the ironing member is detached from the container body even if the content liquid attached to the ironing member is solidified between the connecting member and the ironing member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a container with an applicator that can be used.

The present invention is directed to a container body that contains a content liquid and has a male screw at its mouth, a cap that has a female screw that matches the male screw and is detachably attached to the container body, and one end of which is held by the cap. And a connecting member having an applicator for applying the content liquid to the other end of the container body, and the connecting member provided in the mouth part and having the cap attached to the container body. A container with an applicator, which has an opening through which the squeezing member and an squeezing member having an elastic inclined wall capable of scraping off the content liquid adhering to the applicator at the edge of the opening,

The application part 4a is provided in, for example, a brush shape, a sponge shape, or a brush shape, and an optimum one is appropriately selected according to the type of the content liquid and the part to which the content liquid is applied.

The ironing member 5 is provided at the mouth 1d of the container body 1. Further, the ironing member 5 is provided with an elastic inclined wall 5a that inclines downward as it goes radially inward, and the cap 2 is provided at the center of the elastic inclined wall 5a as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. There is provided an opening 5b through which the main body portion 3b of the connecting member 3 is inserted in the state of being attached to 1. According to such an elastic inclined wall 5a, the cap 2 is removed and the applicator 4 is pulled out from the opening 5b, or the applicator 4 once pulled out is attached to the applicator 4 by being inserted into or removed from the opening 5b. The unnecessary content liquid thus formed can be scraped off at the edge of the opening 5b. Further, when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 1, the bulging portion 3c of the connecting member 3 is positioned along the elastic inclined wall 5a, so that there is a problem that the elastic inclined wall 5a is rolled and deformed. It can be prevented.

Further, the ironing member 5 includes a cylindrical tubular wall 5c extending along the inner peripheral surface of the mouth portion 1d, and the elastic inclined wall 5a is integrally connected to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall 5c. ing. The tubular wall 5c has a lower end portion integrally connected with a claw portion 5d that engages with the inner surface of the shoulder portion 1c, and has an upper end portion that extends radially outward and has an upper end of the mouth portion 1d. The flange 5e covering the part is integrally connected. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, an annular seal portion 5f is provided on the upper portion of the flange 5e. As shown in FIG. 1, the seal portion 5f is crushed and comes into close contact with the lower surface of the fitting wall 3a when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 1, so that the inside of the container body 1 is kept airtight. It Here, the elastic inclined wall 5a, the tubular wall 5c, the claw portion 5d, the flange 5e, and the seal portion 5f of the present embodiment are formed of a soft member such as rubber or elastomer.

Further, the squeezing member 5 of the present embodiment includes a second convex portion 5g that fits the first concave portion 1f provided in the container body 1. As shown in FIG. 2B, a total of eight second convex portions 5g of this embodiment are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. The second convex portion 5g is integrally provided with the cylindrical annular wall 5h provided on the outer peripheral surface side of the cylindrical wall 5c. Here, the second convex portion 5g and the annular wall 5h are formed of a hard member (for example, synthetic resin such as polyethylene) having a hardness higher than that of the soft member described above.

The soft member and the hard member are joined by, for example, fitting the hard member into the soft member, welding by laser, or insert molding. Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, a plurality of third convex portions 5j projecting downward are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction on the annular wall 5h formed of a hard member, and the third convex portions 5j are made of a soft material. The cylindrical wall 5c formed of a member is provided with a plurality of fourth recesses 5k adapted to the third protrusions 5j. As a result, the soft member can be more firmly held and held against the hard member.

Thus, the ironing member 5 is held against rotation with respect to the container body 1 by the cooperation of the first concave portion 1f and the second convex portion 5g, and the soft member of the ironing member 5 includes the third convex portion 5j and the fourth convex portion 5j. It is held by a hard member in a rotation-stop manner in cooperation with the recess 5k. Therefore, even if the content liquid scraped off by the elastic inclined wall 5a is fixed between the squeezing member 5 and the connecting member 3, it is possible to prevent the squeezing member 5 from rotating together with the rotation of the cap 2. Therefore, the ironing member 5 is prevented from being deformed, and is unlikely to come off the container body 1. Since the movement of the ironing member 5 of the present embodiment along the central axis O is restricted by the claw portion 5d and the flange 5e as shown in FIG. 1, the problem of coming off the container body 1 is less likely to occur.

Next, another embodiment of the container with an applicator according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. It should be noted that parts having the same functions as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals in the drawings and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, the container body 11 is provided instead of the container body 1 and the squeezing member 15 is provided instead of the squeezing member 5 in the above-described embodiment.

The container body 11 has a plurality of square-shaped first recesses 11a, which are open at the top, at the upper end of the mouth 1d at intervals in the circumferential direction.

Further, the ironing member 15 has a plurality of second convex portions 15a that fit into the first concave portions 11a at the connecting portion between the tubular wall 5c and the flange 5e. In the ironing member 15, the elastic inclined wall 5a, the tubular wall 5c, the claw portion 5d, the flange 5e, the seal portion 5f, and the second convex portion 15a are all formed of a soft material.

Also in this embodiment, the ironing member 15 is prevented from rotating with respect to the container body 11 by the first concave portion 11a and the second convex portion 15a. Therefore, even if the content liquid is fixed between the squeezing member 15 and the connecting member 3, it is possible to prevent the squeezing member 15 from rotating together with the rotation of the cap 2, so that the container body 11 is squeezed. The problem that the member 15 comes off can be prevented.

In addition, in the embodiment of FIG. 3, the first concave portion 11a and the second convex portion 15a have a rectangular shape, but as shown in FIG. 4, the first concave portion 11b and the second convex portion 15b having a triangular shape may be used. .. In the present embodiment, the direction in which the cap 2 is loosened is counterclockwise in a plan view, and therefore the counterclockwise sides 11c and 15c of the first concave portion 11b and the second convex portion 15b are opposite to the rotational direction of the cap 2. It is assumed that they are oriented in a direction that becomes a right angle (vertical direction in FIG. 4). With this configuration, the first concave portion 11b and the second convex portion 15b function as anti-clockwise rotation stoppers for the ironing member 15, so that in the embodiment shown in FIG. Can be prevented.
