ここで、化粧用配合物を染毛料とし、毛髪を部分的に長い範囲に亘って染毛する場合、圧縮可能部分を染毛料に複数回浸漬させることが必要となるため、塗布の際の使い勝手を一層高めることが望まれている。 Here, in the case of using a cosmetic composition as a hair dye and partially dyeing the hair over a long range, it is necessary to dip the compressible portion in the hair dye several times, so the usability at the time of application is reduced. is desired to be further enhanced.

そこで、本発明は、染毛料を毛髪の長い範囲に亘って塗布する際に、使い勝手を高めることができる塗布具付き染毛料容器を提供することを目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair dye container with an applicator that can improve usability when applying a hair dye over a long range of hair.

本発明による塗布具付き染毛料容器は、染毛料を収容する容器本体と、容器本体に着脱可能に装着され染毛料を塗布するための染毛料塗布具と、を備えた塗布具付き染毛料容器であって、染毛料塗布具は、使用者に把持され容器本体に着脱可能に装着されるキャップと、キャップに連結されて軸線方向に延び容器本体の内部に進入する軸体部と、軸体部に外挿され回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着された回転部と、回転部に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着され染毛料を塗布するための筒状の塗布体と、を備え、軸体部は、キャップに対して固定される固定部と、回転部を回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着する回転支持部と、固定部と回転支持部とを連結する連結部と、を備え、回転部は、連結部側において外周面が連結部の外周面に連なるように外部に露出する露出部を備え、容器本体は、連結部及び露出部並びに塗布体が扱き孔を通過する際に扱き孔の周縁部により余分な染毛料を扱き取る扱き部が設けられた扱き部材を有し、連結部の外周面及び露出部の外周面に、軸線方向に延びる空気抜き溝がそれぞれ設けられている。 A hair dye container with an applicator according to the present invention includes a container body for containing a hair dye, and a hair dye applicator detachably attached to the container body for applying the hair dye. The hair dye applicator includes a cap held by a user and detachably attached to the container body, a shaft portion connected to the cap and extending in the axial direction to enter the container body, and a shaft portion. and a cylindrical applicator mounted on the rotating part so as to be synchronously rotatable and immovable in the axial direction for applying the hair dye. , the shaft portion includes a fixed portion that is fixed to the cap, a rotation support portion that mounts the rotation portion so as to be rotatable but immovable in the axial direction, and a connecting portion that connects the fixed portion and the rotation support portion. The rotating part has an exposed part that is exposed to the outside so that the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part on the connecting part side, and the container body includes the connecting part, the exposed part, and the applicator when the applicator passes through the squeezing hole. A shaving member is provided with a shaving portion for shaving excess hair dye from the periphery of the shaving hole, and an air vent groove extending in the axial direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion and the outer peripheral surface of the exposed portion, respectively. there is

このような塗布具付き染毛料容器によれば、染毛料塗布具の軸体部に、回転部が外挿され回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着され、この回転部に、筒状の塗布体が同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着されるため、容器本体に収容された染毛料を、容器本体から取り出した染毛料塗布具により塗布する際に、塗布体及び回転部が軸体部に対して回転することになり、染毛料を毛髪の長い範囲に亘って容易に塗布でき、使い勝手を高めることができる。また、染毛料を塗布体が含浸し膨張しても、塗布体は、軸体部に外挿された回転部に装着されているため、塗布体は、その回転が阻害されることなく円滑に回転し、染毛料を毛髪の長い範囲に亘って容易に塗布でき、使い勝手を高めることができる。 According to such a hair dye container with an applicator, the rotating part is externally fitted to the shaft part of the hair dye applicator so as to be rotatable and immovable in the axial direction, and the cylindrical applicator is attached to the rotating part. is mounted so as to be synchronously rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. Since the hair dye can be easily applied over a long range of the hair, the usability can be improved. In addition, even if the applicator body is impregnated with the hair dye and expands, the applicator body is attached to the rotating part that is externally inserted on the shaft part, so that the applicator body can smoothly rotate without hindrance. The hair dye can be easily applied over a long range of the hair by rotating, and usability can be improved.

ここで、塗布体の先端部は、ドーム形状になっているのが好ましい。 Here, it is preferable that the tip of the applicator has a dome shape.

また、キャップを容器本体に装着する場合、連結部や露出部が扱き孔を通過する際に、扱き部と染毛料との間の空気が加圧状態になり、キャップを容器本体に装着しにくくなる場合があるが、上述のように、連結部及び露出部の外周面に、軸線方向に延びる空気抜き溝がそれぞれ設けられていると、露出部が扱き孔を通過する際に、扱き部と染毛料との間の空気は、露出部の外周面の空気抜き溝を通して容器本体外へ抜けることになる。また、連結部が扱き孔を通過する際に、扱き部と染毛料との間の空気は連結部の外周面の空気抜き溝を通して容器本体外へ抜けることになる。従って、キャップを容易に容器本体に装着できる。 In addition , when the cap is attached to the container body, when the connecting part and the exposed part pass through the handling hole, the air between the handling part and the hair dye becomes pressurized, and the cap is attached to the container body. However, as described above, if air vent grooves extending in the axial direction are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the connecting portion and the exposed portion, when the exposed portion passes through the cleaning hole, Air between the hair dye and the hair dye escapes to the outside of the container body through the air vent grooves on the outer peripheral surface of the exposed portion. Further, when the connecting portion passes through the shaving hole, the air between the shaving portion and the hair dye is discharged out of the container body through the air vent groove on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion. Therefore, the cap can be easily attached to the container body.

また、連結部の空気抜き溝は、キャップを容器本体に装着した状態で、その一方側の端部が、扱き孔より固定部側に位置し、その他方側の端部が、扱き孔より容器本体の底部側に位置していると、簡易な構成で、扱き部と染毛料との間の空気を確実に容器本体外へ抜くことができる。 In addition, the air vent groove of the connection portion has one end positioned closer to the fixing part than the handling hole when the cap is attached to the container body, and the other end of the air vent groove is located closer to the fixing part than the handling hole. If it is located on the bottom side of the container, the air between the handling part and the hair dye can be reliably discharged to the outside of the container body with a simple structure.

また、キャップを容器本体に装着する際に、連結部の空気抜き溝と露出部の空気抜き溝とが連通するように構成されていると、扱き部と染毛料との間の空気が容器本体外へ一層抜けやすくなり、キャップを一層容易に容器本体に装着できる。 Further, when the cap is attached to the container body, if the air vent groove of the connecting portion communicates with the air vent groove of the exposed portion, the air between the handling portion and the hair dye will flow out of the container body. It becomes easier to remove the cap, and the cap can be attached to the container body more easily.

ここで、連結部の空気抜き溝と露出部の空気抜き溝とが連通する構成としては、具体的には、連結部の空気抜き溝及び露出部の空気抜き溝の端部は相手部側へ開放されており、連結部の空気抜き溝又は露出部の空気抜き溝の何れか一方の空気抜き溝は、周方向に沿って複数が並設され、連結部の空気抜き溝又は露出部の空気抜き溝の他方の空気抜き溝が何れか一方の空気抜き溝側へ面する端部の周方向の幅Ｌ１と、連結部の空気抜き溝又は露出部の空気抜き溝の何れか一方の空気抜き溝の他方の空気抜き溝側へ面する端部同士の周方向の離間間隔Ｌ２との関係は、Ｌ１＞Ｌ２に設定されている構成が挙げられる。この構成によれば、連結部の空気抜き溝と露出部の空気抜き溝とが確実に連通することになる。 Here, as a configuration in which the air vent groove of the connecting portion communicates with the air vent groove of the exposed portion, specifically, the ends of the air vent groove of the connecting portion and the air vent groove of the exposed portion are open to the counterpart side. A plurality of air vent grooves of either one of the air vent groove of the connecting portion and the air vent groove of the exposed portion are arranged in parallel along the circumferential direction, and the other air vent groove of the air vent groove of the connecting portion or the air vent groove of the exposed portion The circumferential width L1 of the end facing one of the air vent grooves, and the distance between the ends of either the air vent groove of the connecting portion or the air vent groove of the exposed portion facing the other air vent groove. A configuration in which L1>L2 is set as a relationship with the circumferential spacing L2 can be mentioned. According to this configuration, the air vent groove of the connecting portion and the air vent groove of the exposed portion are reliably communicated with each other.

また、上記作用を効果的に奏する構成としては、具体的には、回転部は、回転支持部に外挿されると共に塗布体に内挿され、回転支持部に回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着され、且つ、連結部側の外周面が拡径された拡径部を有する回転筒体と、回転筒体の拡径部及び塗布体に外挿され、拡径部に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着された露出部としての塗布体ホルダと、を備え、塗布体は、回転筒体及び塗布体ホルダの少なくとも塗布体ホルダに、同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着され構成が挙げられる。 Further, as a configuration for effectively exhibiting the above action, specifically, the rotating portion is externally inserted into the rotation support portion and inserted into the applicator body, and is attached to the rotation support portion so as to be rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. and a rotating cylinder having an enlarged diameter portion whose outer peripheral surface on the connecting part side is enlarged; an applicator holder as an exposed portion that is immovably mounted, and the applicator is mounted to at least the applicator holder of the rotary cylinder and the applicator holder so as to be synchronously rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. be done.

このように本発明によれば、染毛料を毛髪の長い範囲に亘って容易に塗布でき、使い勝手を高めることができる塗布具付き染毛料容器を提供できる。 As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a hair dye container with an applicator capable of easily applying a hair dye over a long range of hair and enhancing usability.

回転支持部１９は、連結部２０に段差部３７を介して連設され当該連結部２０より縮径された丸棒状に構成され、下方へと延出している。回転支持部１９は、段差部３７に連設された基部２１と、基部２１に段差部２２を介して連設され基部２１より縮径された軸部２３と、を備える。軸部２３の先端部２４は、段差部２５を介して拡径され、下方に向かって凸となるように半球状に丸められている。すなわち、回転支持部１９の先端部２４の段差部２５と段差部２２との間には、径方向に凹設され軸線方向に延びる断面円環状の凹部３６が形成されている。凹部３６の深さ（図示左右方向の長さ）は、後述する回転筒体２８の本体部３２の径方向厚みとほぼ同程度となっている。そして、軸部２３には、先端部２４の先端から基部２１側（図示上方）へ向かって２つ割りとするスリット２６が所定長設けられている。 The rotation support portion 19 is connected to the connecting portion 20 via a stepped portion 37, and is formed in a round bar shape having a diameter smaller than that of the connecting portion 20, and extends downward. The rotation support portion 19 includes a base portion 21 connected to the stepped portion 37 , and a shaft portion 23 connected to the base portion 21 via the stepped portion 22 and having a smaller diameter than the base portion 21 . A distal end portion 24 of the shaft portion 23 is expanded in diameter via a stepped portion 25 and rounded into a hemispherical shape so as to protrude downward. That is, between the stepped portion 25 and the stepped portion 22 of the tip end portion 24 of the rotation support portion 19, a recessed portion 36 having an annular cross section is formed which is recessed in the radial direction and extends in the axial direction. The depth of the concave portion 36 (the length in the left-right direction in the drawing) is approximately the same as the radial thickness of the main body portion 32 of the rotary cylinder 28, which will be described later. The shaft portion 23 is provided with a predetermined length of a slit 26 that divides the shaft portion 23 into two from the tip of the tip portion 24 toward the base portion 21 side (upward in the figure).

また、軸部２３の凹部３６を形成する外周面には、姿勢制御リブ２７が軸線方向に複数個離間して設けられている。姿勢制御リブ２７は、円環状をなす突部であり、回転部１５の姿勢を制御する（径方向に支持する）ものである。姿勢制御リブ２７は、軸線方向に沿って等間隔に４個設けられ、下方の２個が、スリット２６の外周側に位置している。姿勢制御リブ２７は、断面半円状の突部とされているが、例えば断面３角形状等であっても良い。また、姿勢制御リブ２７の個数は、４個に限定されるものではなく、複数個であれば良い。 A plurality of posture control ribs 27 are provided in the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface forming the concave portion 36 of the shaft portion 23 so as to be spaced apart from each other. The posture control rib 27 is an annular protrusion that controls the posture of the rotating portion 15 (supports it in the radial direction). Four posture control ribs 27 are provided at equal intervals along the axial direction, and the lower two are positioned on the outer peripheral side of the slit 26 . The posture control rib 27 is a protrusion with a semicircular cross section, but may have a triangular cross section, for example. Also, the number of posture control ribs 27 is not limited to four, and may be any number.

図１に示すように、回転部１５は、内側の回転筒体２８と、回転筒体２８に装着された外側の塗布体ホルダ２９と、を備える。 As shown in FIG. 1 , the rotating portion 15 includes an inner rotating cylinder 28 and an outer applicator holder 29 attached to the rotating cylinder 28 .

図１、図１１及び図１２に示すように、回転筒体２８は、回転支持部１９の基部２１に外挿される円筒形状の基部３０と、基部３０に段差部３１を介して連設され基部３０より縮径されると共に回転支持部１９の軸部２３に外挿される円筒形状の本体部３２と、を備える。換言すれば、回転支持部１９の軸部２３に外挿される円筒形状の本体部３２の連結部２０側に、段差部３１を介して拡径された基部３０が拡径部として形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1, 11, and 12, the rotary cylinder 28 includes a cylindrical base 30 externally inserted into the base 21 of the rotation support 19, and a base 30 connected to the base 30 via a stepped portion 31. and a cylindrical main body portion 32 having a diameter smaller than that of 30 and externally fitted onto the shaft portion 23 of the rotation support portion 19 . In other words, the base portion 30 whose diameter is enlarged through the stepped portion 31 is formed as an enlarged diameter portion on the connecting portion 20 side of the cylindrical body portion 32 externally fitted onto the shaft portion 23 of the rotation support portion 19 . .

基部３０の外周面には、塗布体ホルダ２９を装着するための凹部３３が円環状に設けられている。また、本体部３２の外周面で基部３０寄りの位置には、塗布体１６を装着するための凸部３４が円環状に設けられている。 A concave portion 33 for mounting the application body holder 29 is provided in an annular shape on the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 30 . A convex portion 34 for mounting the application body 16 is provided in an annular shape at a position near the base portion 30 on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 32 .

図１、図１３及び図１４に示すように、塗布体ホルダ２９は、円筒状に構成されて外部に露出する露出部であり、回転支持部１９の１／３程度の長さを有する。塗布体ホルダ２９の上部の内周面には、回転筒体２８の基部（拡径部）３０の凹部３３に嵌合する凸部３５が円環状に設けられている。また、塗布体ホルダ２９の内周面で下端部寄りの位置には、断面鉤状の凸部３９が、塗布体１６を装着するものとして円環状に設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 , 13 and 14 , the applicator holder 29 is a cylindrical exposed portion that is exposed to the outside and has a length of about ⅓ of the rotation support portion 19 . On the inner peripheral surface of the upper portion of the applicator holder 29, a convex portion 35 that fits into the concave portion 33 of the base portion (enlarged diameter portion) 30 of the rotary cylinder 28 is provided in an annular shape. A protruding portion 39 having a hook-shaped cross-section is provided in an annular shape on the inner peripheral surface of the applicator holder 29 at a position closer to the lower end thereof for mounting the applicator 16 thereon.

図１に示す塗布体１６は、ここでは、染毛料Ｌに対して特に好適であるとして、染毛料Ｌを含浸可能なスポンジが用いられている。図１、図１５及び図１６に示すように、塗布体１６は、回転筒体２８と塗布体ホルダ２９との間に挿入可能な円筒状に構成され、その先端部３８は、軸部２３の先端部２４を密着して覆うドーム形状に構成されている。 The applicator 16 shown in FIG. 1 uses a sponge that can be impregnated with the hair dye L because it is particularly suitable for the hair dye L. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1, 15 and 16, the applicator 16 is configured in a cylindrical shape that can be inserted between the rotary cylinder 28 and the applicator holder 29, and the distal end 38 of the applicator 16 extends from the shaft 23. It is configured in a dome shape that tightly covers the tip portion 24 .

そして、図１に示すように、回転筒体２８に塗布体ホルダ２９が外挿され、回転筒体２８の凹部３３に塗布体ホルダ２９の凸部３５が嵌合することにより、塗布体ホルダ２９が回転筒体２８に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着され、回転部１５が構成される。 Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the applicator holder 29 is fitted onto the rotary cylinder 28, and the protruding part 35 of the applicator holder 29 is fitted into the concave part 33 of the rotary cylinder 28, whereby the applicator holder 29 is is attached to the rotary cylinder 28 so as to be synchronously rotatable and immovable in the axial direction, thereby forming the rotating portion 15 .

回転部１５は、回転支持部１９の軸部２３のスリット２６を狭めながら回転支持部１９に外挿され、回転支持部１９の先端部２４の段差部２５と段差部２２との間の凹部３６に、回転筒体２８の先端から段差部３１までの部分が収められることにより、回転筒体２８（回転部１５）が回転支持部１９に軸線方向移動不能に装着される。この状態で、回転支持部１９の複数の姿勢制御リブ２７が回転筒体２８の内周面に接触し、回転筒体２８（回転部１５）が回転支持部１９に回転可能に装着される。また、塗布体ホルダ２９と連結部２０の外径はほぼ同一で、塗布体ホルダ２９の外周面と連結部２０の外周面とが軸線方向に連なるように（ほぼ面一となるように）構成されている。 The rotating part 15 is fitted onto the rotating support part 19 while narrowing the slit 26 of the shaft part 23 of the rotating supporting part 19 , and the recessed part 36 between the stepped part 25 and the stepped part 22 of the tip part 24 of the rotating support part 19 . In addition, since the portion from the tip of the rotary cylinder 28 to the stepped portion 31 is accommodated, the rotary cylinder 28 (rotating portion 15) is attached to the rotation support portion 19 so as not to move in the axial direction. In this state, the plurality of attitude control ribs 27 of the rotation support portion 19 are in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the rotation cylinder 28, and the rotation cylinder 28 (rotation portion 15) is rotatably attached to the rotation support portion 19. In addition, the applicator holder 29 and the connecting portion 20 have substantially the same outer diameter, and are configured so that the outer peripheral surface of the applicator holder 29 and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 20 are connected in the axial direction (substantially flush with each other). It is

そして、塗布体１６は、回転筒体２８と塗布体ホルダ２９との間に挿入され、そのドーム状の先端部３８が、回転支持部１９の軸部２３の先端部２４に密着した状態で、塗布体１６の外周面に、塗布体ホルダ２９の断面鉤状の凸部３９が押し込まれると共に、塗布体１６の内周面で凸部３９より軸線方向上方にずれた位置に、回転筒体２８の凸部３４が押し込まれる。 Then, the applicator 16 is inserted between the rotary cylinder 28 and the applicator holder 29, and the dome-shaped tip 38 is in close contact with the tip 24 of the shaft 23 of the rotation support 19. A protruding portion 39 having a hook-shaped cross section of the applicator holder 29 is pushed into the outer peripheral surface of the applicator body 16 , and the rotary cylinder 28 is displaced upward in the axial direction from the protruding portion 39 on the inner peripheral surface of the applicator body 16 . is pushed in.

これらの塗布体ホルダ２９の凸部３９及び回転筒体２８の凸部３４により、塗布体１６は、軸線方向に互い違いに圧縮され軸線方向から挟まれた状態で、回転部１５に同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着される。塗布体１６は、この状態（初期状態：染毛料Ｌを含浸していない状態）で、露出している部分の外径は、塗布体ホルダ２９の外径より小径とされている。なお、塗布体ホルダ２９の円環状の凸部３９や回転筒体２８の円環状の凸部３４を、周方向に離間する複数の突起（凸部）にすると、突起の各々が塗布体１６に突き刺さった格好になり、塗布体１６の回転部１５に対する同期回転の確実性を一層高めることができる。 The applicator 16 is alternately compressed in the axial direction by the protrusions 39 of the applicator holder 29 and the protuberances 34 of the rotating cylinder 28, and is synchronously rotatable with the rotary unit 15 while being sandwiched from the axial direction. It is mounted immovably in the axial direction. In this state (initial state: state in which the hair dye L is not impregnated), the outer diameter of the exposed portion of the applicator 16 is made smaller than the outer diameter of the applicator holder 29 . In addition, if the circular convex portion 39 of the applicator holder 29 and the circular convex portion 34 of the rotary cylinder 28 are formed into a plurality of protrusions (convex portions) spaced apart in the circumferential direction, each of the protrusions is attached to the applicator body 16. It becomes sticky, and the reliability of synchronous rotation of the applicator 16 with respect to the rotating part 15 can be further enhanced.

そして、染毛料塗布具２のキャップ１３が、容器本体１の開口頚部４に螺子７，１７の螺合により装着されると、染毛料塗布具２の連結部２０及び塗布体ホルダ２９並びに塗布体１６が、扱き部材８の扱き孔１２、スリット１０を含む貫通孔４０を通して容器本体１の収容部３内に進入し、塗布体ホルダ２９の上部より下方部分及び塗布体１６は、収容部３に収容されている染毛料Ｌに浸漬する。塗布体１６は、染毛料Ｌに浸漬し染毛料Ｌを含浸すると膨張し、その外径は、塗布体ホルダ２９の外径とほぼ同一となる。 When the cap 13 of the hair dye applicator 2 is attached to the opening neck portion 4 of the container body 1 by screwing the screws 7 and 17, the connecting portion 20 of the hair dye applicator 2, the applicator holder 29, and the applicator are connected. 16 enters into the accommodating portion 3 of the container body 1 through the squeezing hole 12 of the squeezing member 8 and the through hole 40 including the slit 10 , and the upper and lower portions of the applicator holder 29 and the applicator 16 enter the accommodating portion 3 . It is immersed in the stored hair dye L. When the applicator 16 is immersed in the hair dye L and impregnated with the hair dye L, the applicator 16 expands, and its outer diameter becomes substantially the same as the outer diameter of the applicator holder 29 .

このように構成された塗布具付き染毛料容器１００を使用する場合、図１に示す状態から、使用者は、キャップ１３を把持し回しながら螺子７，１７の螺合を解除していく。すると、染毛料塗布具２の連結部２０及び塗布体ホルダ２９並びに塗布体１６が、扱き部材８のスリット１０を含む貫通孔４０、扱き孔１２を通過し、扱き部１１における扱き孔１２の周縁部により、塗布体ホルダ２９及び塗布体１６の外周面に付着した余分な染毛料Ｌが扱き落とされる。 When using the hair dye container 100 with the applicator configured as described above, the user holds the cap 13 and unscrews the screws 7 and 17 from the state shown in FIG. Then, the connecting portion 20 of the hair dye applicator 2, the applicator holder 29, and the applicator 16 pass through the through holes 40 including the slits 10 of the shaving member 8 and the shaving holes 12, and the peripheral edge of the shaving holes 12 in the shaving portion 11. The excess hair dye L adhering to the outer peripheral surfaces of the applicator holder 29 and the applicator 16 is scraped off by the portion.

ここで、使用者は、塗布体１６の外周面に付着した染毛料Ｌをさらに取りたい場合には、塗布体１６を扱き部材８の上端内周面の平面視円弧状の上端縁４４（図５及び図６参照）に擦り付ける。すると、塗布体１６のさらに取りたい染毛料Ｌは、上端縁４４に擦り取られる。この上端縁４４には、断面への字状のへこみ部４５が続いているため、上端縁４４で擦り取られた染毛料Ｌは、上方へ出ることなく、断面への字状の空間であるへこみ部４５に円滑に垂れ流れ落ちていく。 Here, when the user wishes to further remove the hair dye L adhering to the outer peripheral surface of the applicator 16, the user can wipe the applicator 16 and scrape the upper end edge 44 (Fig. 5 and FIG. 6). Then, the hair dye L to be further removed from the applicator 16 is scraped off by the upper edge 44 . Since the top edge 44 is followed by a recessed portion 45 shaped like a cross section, the hair dye L scraped off by the top edge 44 does not come out upward, but remains in a space shaped like a cross section. It smoothly drips down into the dented portion 45 .

特に、本実施形態のように、塗布体１６が軸線方向に長い場合、塗布体１６の上部側の染毛料Ｌを擦り取る際に、染毛料塗布具２を少ししか傾けることができないため、その下に、断面への字状のへこみ部４５が存在する上端縁４４で擦り取るのが特に有効である。なお、上端縁４４下のへこみ部４５が存在せず、上端縁が上下方向に延びる鉛直内周面、又は、下方へ行くに従い軸線方向に向かって傾斜する傾斜内周面の場合には、塗布体１６が軸線方向に長いと、塗布体１６の上部側の染毛料Ｌを擦り取るのは難しく、うまく擦り取れない。 In particular, when the applicator 16 is long in the axial direction as in this embodiment, the hair dye applicator 2 can only be tilted slightly when scraping off the hair dye L on the upper side of the applicator 16. It is particularly effective to scrape with the top edge 44, which has a cross-sectional indentation 45 underneath. In addition, in the case where the recessed portion 45 below the upper edge 44 does not exist and the upper edge is a vertical inner peripheral surface extending in the vertical direction, or an inclined inner peripheral surface inclined toward the axial direction as it goes downward, the coating If the body 16 is long in the axial direction, it is difficult to rub off the hair dye L on the upper side of the application body 16, and it cannot be rubbed off well.

そして、染毛料塗布具２を容器本体１から取り出している間にあっては、扱き部材８の底部のスリット１０は閉じているため、容器本体１を倒しても、扱き部材８の底部を通して染毛料Ｌが流れ出てしまうことが妨げられている。 While the hair dye applicator 2 is being removed from the container body 1, the slit 10 at the bottom of the wiping member 8 is closed. is prevented from flowing out.

使用者は、染毛料塗布具２を取り出したら、塗布体１６を塗布したい毛髪の部分に当て、染毛料塗布具２を毛髪に沿って移行させる。すると、回転部１５及び塗布体１６が回転し、塗布体１６に含浸している染毛料Ｌが毛髪に塗布されていく。 After taking out the hair dye applicator 2, the user applies the applicator 16 to the part of the hair to be applied, and moves the hair dye applicator 2 along the hair. Then, the rotating part 15 and the applicator 16 are rotated, and the hair dye L impregnated in the applicator 16 is applied to the hair.

このとき、回転支持部１９の外周面に設けられ、回転部１５の回転筒体２８の内周面に接触する姿勢制御リブ２７が、軸線方向に複数個離間して設けられているため、これらの姿勢制御リブ２７により、回転部１５はガタつかないようにその姿勢が制御され、回転部１５に装着された塗布体１６は、円滑に回転する。この塗布体１６の回転により、染毛料Ｌが毛髪の長い範囲に亘って塗布される。 At this time, since a plurality of posture control ribs 27 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotation support portion 19 and in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the rotating cylindrical body 28 of the rotating portion 15 are spaced apart in the axial direction, these The attitude control rib 27 controls the attitude of the rotating part 15 so that it does not rattle, and the applicator 16 mounted on the rotating part 15 rotates smoothly. By rotating the applicator 16, the hair dye L is applied over a long range of the hair.

塗布が終わったら、使用者は、染毛料塗布具２のキャップ１３を、取り外し時とは逆方向に回しながら螺子７，１７を螺合させていく。すると、染毛料塗布具２の塗布体１６及び塗布体ホルダ２９並びに連結部２０が、扱き部材８のスリット１０を含む貫通孔４０、扱き孔１２を通過し、塗布体１６が染毛料Ｌに浸漬し、染毛料塗布具２が容器本体１に装着される。 When the application is finished, the user screws the screws 7 and 17 while turning the cap 13 of the hair dye applicator 2 in the direction opposite to that when removing it. Then, the applicator 16, the applicator holder 29, and the connecting portion 20 of the hair dye applicator 2 pass through the through holes 40 including the slits 10 of the shaving member 8 and the shaving holes 12, and the applicator 16 is immersed in the hair dye L. Then, the hair dye applicator 2 is attached to the container body 1 .

このように、本実施形態によれば、染毛料塗布具２の軸体部１４に、回転部１５が外挿され回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着され、この回転部１５に、筒状の塗布体１６が同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着されるため、容器本体１に収容された染毛料Ｌを、容器本体１から取り出した染毛料塗布具２により塗布する際に、塗布体１６及び回転部１５が軸体部１４に対して回転することになり、染毛料Ｌを毛髪の長い範囲に亘って容易に塗布でき、使い勝手を高めることができる。また、染毛料Ｌを塗布体１６が含浸し膨張しても、塗布体１６は、軸体部１４に外挿された回転部１５に装着されているため、塗布体１６は、その回転が阻害されることなく円滑に回転し、染毛料Ｌを毛髪の長い範囲に亘って容易に塗布でき、使い勝手を高めることができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the rotating portion 15 is externally fitted to the shaft portion 14 of the hair dye applicator 2 so as to be rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. Since the applicator 16 is mounted so as to be synchronously rotatable and immovable in the axial direction, when the hair dye L stored in the container main body 1 is applied by the hair dye applicator 2 taken out from the container main body 1, the applicator 16 can be removed. And the rotating part 15 rotates with respect to the shaft body part 14, so that the hair dye L can be easily applied over a long range of the hair, and usability can be improved. Further, even if the application body 16 is impregnated with the hair dye L and expands, the rotation of the application body 16 is inhibited because the application body 16 is attached to the rotating portion 15 that is externally inserted into the shaft body portion 14. The hair dye L can be easily applied over a long range of the hair, and usability can be improved.

また、本実施形態によれば、以下の作用・効果も奏する。すなわち、軸体部１４の回転支持部１９の外周面に、回転部１５の回転筒体２８の内周面に接触するように突出する姿勢制御リブ２７が設けられ、この姿勢制御リブ２７が、軸線方向に複数個離間して設けられているため、これらの姿勢制御リブ２７により、回転部１５はガタつかないようにその姿勢が制御される。このため、回転部１５に装着された塗布体１６は、円滑に回転し、染毛料Ｌを毛髪の長い範囲に亘って容易に塗布できる。また、軸線方向に離間する姿勢制御リブ２７のみが回転部１５の回転時の摩擦抵抗となるため、摩擦抵抗は低く、一層円滑に回転し、染毛料Ｌを毛髪の長い範囲に亘って一層容易に塗布できる。 Moreover, according to this embodiment, the following functions and effects are also obtained. That is, an attitude control rib 27 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotation support portion 19 of the shaft portion 14 so as to protrude so as to come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the rotary cylindrical body 28 of the rotating portion 15. The attitude control rib 27 Since a plurality of ribs 27 are spaced apart in the axial direction, the posture of the rotating portion 15 is controlled by these posture control ribs 27 so as not to rattle. Therefore, the applicator 16 attached to the rotating part 15 rotates smoothly, and the hair dye L can be easily applied over the long range of the hair. In addition, since only the posture control ribs 27 spaced apart in the axial direction serve as frictional resistance when the rotating part 15 rotates, the frictional resistance is low, the rotation is smoother, and the hair dye L can be applied more easily over the long range of the hair. can be applied to

なお、本実施形態においては、より好適であるとして、塗布体１６は、塗布体ホルダ２９及び回転筒体２８の両方に、同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着されているが、塗布体１６は、塗布体ホルダ２９及び回転筒体２８の少なくとも塗布体ホルダ２９に、同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着されていれば良い。また、その装着手段は、例えば接着等の他の手段であっても勿論良い。 In this embodiment, the applicator 16 is attached to both the applicator holder 29 and the rotary cylinder 28 so as to be synchronously rotatable and axially immovable. may be attached to at least the applicator holder 29 of the applicator holder 29 and the rotary cylinder 28 so as to be synchronously rotatable and immovable in the axial direction. Moreover, the mounting means may of course be other means such as adhesion.

図１７は、本発明の第２実施形態に係る塗布具付き染毛料容器の染毛料塗布具を上方から見た斜視図であり、キャップを取り外した図、図１８は、図１７から塗布体を取り外した正面図である。 FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the hair dye applicator of the hair dye container with the applicator according to the second embodiment of the present invention, with the cap removed, and FIG. It is the removed front view.

この第２実施形態の染毛料塗布具が第１実施形態の染毛料塗布具と違う点は、連結部２０の外周面及び回転部１５の塗布体ホルダ（露出部）２９の外周面に、軸線方向に延びる空気抜き溝５０，５１をそれぞれ設けた点である。連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０は、上下方向に沿って周方向同一幅とされ、周方向に沿って複数個（ここでは６個）が等間隔に離間して設けられている。塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１は、上下方向に沿って周方向同一幅で且つ連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０の幅よりも狭くされ、周方向に沿って連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０より多数が等間隔に並設されている。 The hair dye applicator of the second embodiment differs from the hair dye applicator of the first embodiment in that the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the applicator holder (exposed portion) 29 of the rotating portion 15 are provided with an axis line. The difference is that the air vent grooves 50 and 51 extending in the direction are provided. The air vent grooves 50 of the connecting portion 20 have the same width in the circumferential direction along the vertical direction, and a plurality (six in this case) of the air vent grooves 50 are provided at regular intervals along the circumferential direction. The air vent grooves 51 of the application body holder 29 have the same width in the circumferential direction along the vertical direction and are narrower than the width of the air vent grooves 50 of the connecting portion 20, and are wider than the air vent grooves 50 of the connecting portion 20 along the circumferential direction. They are arranged at regular intervals.

連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０は、図１を参照すれば、キャップ１３を容器本体１に装着した状態で、その上端部（一方側の端部）５２が、扱き孔１２より固定部１８側に位置し、その下端部（他方側の端部）５３が、扱き孔１２より容器本体１の底部側に位置している。また、図１７及び図１８に示すように、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０の下端部５３は、相手部である塗布体ホルダ２９側へ開放され、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１の上端部５６は、相手部である連結部２０側へ開放されている。 1, when the cap 13 is attached to the container body 1, the upper end (one side end) 52 of the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 is positioned closer to the fixing portion 18 than the handling hole 12. Its lower end (the other end) 53 is located closer to the bottom of the container body 1 than the handling hole 12 is. Further, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the lower end 53 of the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 is open to the application body holder 29 side, which is the mating part, and the upper end 56 of the air vent groove 51 of the application body holder 29 is open. is open to the connecting portion 20 side, which is the counterpart portion.

連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０が塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１側へ面する下端部５３の周方向の幅Ｌ１と、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１が連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０側へ面する上端部５６，５６同士の周方向の離間間隔Ｌ２との関係は、Ｌ１＞Ｌ２に設定されている。すなわち、固定側となる連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０と回転側となる塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１とは、必ず上下方向に連通するようになっている。 The width L1 in the circumferential direction of the lower end portion 53 where the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 faces the air vent groove 51 side of the application body holder 29, and the air vent groove 51 of the application body holder 29 face the air vent groove 50 side of the connecting portion 20. The relationship between the upper end portions 56, 56 and the circumferential interval L2 is set to L1>L2. That is, the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 on the fixed side and the air vent groove 51 of the application body holder 29 on the rotating side are always communicated in the vertical direction.

ここで、空気抜き溝５０，５１が設けられていないとすると、図１を参照すれば、キャップ１３を容器本体１に装着する場合、連結部２０や塗布体ホルダ２９が扱き孔１２を通過する際に、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気が加圧状態になり、キャップ１３を容器本体１に装着しにくくなる場合がある。しかしながら、本実施形態においては、連結部２０及び塗布体ホルダ２９の外周面に、軸線方向に延びる空気抜き溝５０，５１がそれぞれ設けられているため、塗布体ホルダ２９が扱き孔１２を通過する際に、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気は、塗布体ホルダ２９の外周面の空気抜き溝５１を通して容器本体１外へ抜けることになる。また、連結部２０が扱き孔１２を通過する際に、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気は連結部２０の外周面の空気抜き溝を５０通して容器本体１外へ抜けることになる。従って、キャップ１３を容易に容器本体１に装着できる。 Here, assuming that the air vent grooves 50 and 51 are not provided, referring to FIG. In addition, the air in the space S between the handling part 11 and the hair dye L is pressurized, which may make it difficult to attach the cap 13 to the container body 1 . However, in the present embodiment, since the air vent grooves 50 and 51 extending in the axial direction are provided on the outer peripheral surfaces of the connecting portion 20 and the applicator holder 29, respectively, when the applicator holder 29 passes through the squeezing hole 12, In addition, the air in the space S between the handling part 11 and the hair dye L is discharged out of the container body 1 through the air vent groove 51 on the outer peripheral surface of the applicator holder 29 . Further, when the connecting portion 20 passes through the shaving hole 12, the air between the shaving portion 11 and the hair dye L passes through the air vent groove 50 on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 20 and escapes to the outside of the container body 1. Become. Therefore, the cap 13 can be easily attached to the container body 1 .

また、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０は、キャップ１３を容器本体１に装着した状態で、その上端部５２が、扱き孔１２より固定部１８側に位置し、その下端部５３が、扱き孔１２より容器本体１の底部側に位置しているため、簡易な構成で、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気を確実に容器本体１外へ抜くことができる。 The air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 has an upper end portion 52 located closer to the fixed portion 18 than the handling hole 12 when the cap 13 is attached to the container body 1 , and a lower end portion 53 located closer to the handling hole 12 . Since it is located closer to the bottom side of the container body 1, the air in the space S between the handling part 11 and the hair dye L can be reliably discharged to the outside of the container body 1 with a simple structure.

また、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０が塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１側へ面する下端部５３の周方向の幅Ｌ１と、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１が連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０側へ面する上端部５６，５６同士の周方向の離間間隔Ｌ２との関係は、Ｌ１＞Ｌ２に設定されているため、キャップ１３を容器本体１に装着する際に、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０と塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１とが連通することになり、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気が容器本体外へ一層抜けやすくなり、キャップ１３を一層容易に容器本体１に装着できる。 In addition, the width L1 in the circumferential direction of the lower end portion 53 where the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 faces the air vent groove 51 side of the application body holder 29, Since the relationship between the upper end portions 56, 56 and the circumferential distance L2 between the upper end portions 56, 56 facing toward each other is set to satisfy L1>L2, when the cap 13 is attached to the container body 1, the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 is removed. and the air vent groove 51 of the applicator holder 29 are communicated with each other, so that the air in the space S between the handling part 11 and the hair dye L is more easily discharged to the outside of the container body, and the cap 13 can be more easily attached to the container body 1. Can be worn.

図１９は、本発明の第３実施形態に係る塗布具付き染毛料容器の染毛料塗布具の正面図であり、キャップ及び塗布体を取り外した図である。 FIG. 19 is a front view of the hair dye applicator of the hair dye container with applicator according to the third embodiment of the present invention, with the cap and the applicator removed.

この第３実施形態の染毛料塗布具が第２実施形態の染毛料塗布具と違う点は、塗布体ホルダ２９において、上下方向に沿って周方向同一幅の空気抜き溝５１に代えて、その上部５４の周方向の幅が、上部５４より下の周方向の幅より拡径された空気抜き溝５５を用い、この空気抜き溝５５の個数を、第２実施形態の空気抜き溝５１より少なくした点である。上部５４は、ここでは、上部に行くに従い台形を逆さにした形状で拡径している。 The difference between the hair dye applicator of the third embodiment and the hair dye applicator of the second embodiment is that instead of the air vent groove 51 having the same width in the circumferential direction in the applicator holder 29, a 54 is wider than the circumferential width below the upper portion 54, and the number of air vent grooves 55 is smaller than that of the air vent grooves 51 of the second embodiment. . Here, the upper portion 54 has a shape of an inverted trapezoid that expands in diameter toward the upper portion.

連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０が塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５５側へ面する下端部５３の周方向の幅Ｌ１と、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５５が連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０側へ面する上端部５７，５７同士の周方向の離間間隔Ｌ２との関係は、Ｌ１＞Ｌ２に設定されている。また、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５５の上部５４を除く部分同士の周方向の離間間隔Ｌ３は、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０の周方向の幅Ｌ１より大きくなっている。このような構成であっても、固定側となる連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０と回転側となる塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５５とは、必ず上下方向に連通することになる。 The width L1 in the circumferential direction of the lower end portion 53 where the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 faces the air vent groove 55 side of the application body holder 29, and the air vent groove 55 of the application body holder 29 face the air vent groove 50 side of the connecting portion 20. The relationship between the upper end portions 57, 57 and the circumferential interval L2 is set to L1>L2. A circumferential distance L3 between portions of the air vent groove 55 of the application body holder 29 excluding the upper portion 54 is larger than the circumferential width L1 of the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 . Even with such a configuration, the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 on the fixed side and the air vent groove 55 of the application body holder 29 on the rotating side are always communicated in the vertical direction.

このような第３実施形態にあっても、第２実施形態と同様な作用・効果を奏するというのはいうまでもない。 Even in such a third embodiment, it goes without saying that the same functions and effects as those of the second embodiment are obtained.

なお、上記第２、第３実施形態においては、連結部２０に空気抜き溝５０を、塗布体ホルダ２９に空気抜き溝５１，５５を設けているが、それとは逆に、連結部２０に空気抜き溝５１，５５を、塗布体ホルダ２９に空気抜き溝５０を設けるようにしても良い。 In the second and third embodiments, the connecting portion 20 is provided with the air vent groove 50 and the application body holder 29 is provided with the air vent grooves 51 and 55 . , 55 may be provided with an air vent groove 50 in the applicator holder 29 .

また、上記第２、第３実施形態あっては、特に空気抜きの効果が高いとして、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０と、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１，５５とを連通するようにしているが、連通していなくても良い。この場合、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気（図１参照）は、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１，５５を抜けた後、塗布体ホルダ２９の上端面と連結部２０の下端面との間の隙間を周方向に回り込み、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０から容器本体１外へ抜けることになる。従って、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１，５５、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０のそれぞれの個数は限定されるものではなく、連結部２０又は塗布体ホルダ２９の何れか一方に複数あれば良い。また、空気抜きの効果が高いとして、塗布体ホルダ２９の空気抜き溝５１，５５は、固定部１８側（上方）へ開放され、連結部２０の空気抜き溝５０は、容器本体１の底部側（下方）へ開放されているが、開放されていなくても良い。この場合、空気抜き溝５０、５１，５５同士の上下方向の離間間隔を、扱き部１１と染毛料Ｌとの間Ｓの空気が加圧状態になりキャップ１３を容器本体１に装着しにくくなる範囲外に設定するのが好ましい。 In addition, in the second and third embodiments, the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 and the air vent grooves 51 and 55 of the application body holder 29 communicate with each other because the effect of air vent is particularly high. , may not be communicated. In this case, the air (see FIG. 1) in the space S between the handling portion 11 and the hair dye L passes through the air vent grooves 51 and 55 of the application body holder 29, and then passes between the upper end surface of the application body holder 29 and the connecting portion 20. Circumferentially around the gap between the lower end surface and the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20, the air is discharged out of the container body 1. - 特許庁Therefore, the number of each of the air vent grooves 51 and 55 of the application body holder 29 and the number of the air vent grooves 50 of the connecting part 20 is not limited. In addition, the air vent grooves 51 and 55 of the application body holder 29 are open toward the fixed portion 18 (upward), and the air vent groove 50 of the connecting portion 20 is open toward the bottom portion of the container body 1 (downward). is open to, but does not have to be open. In this case, the space between the air vent grooves 50, 51, 55 in the vertical direction is set to a range in which the air between the handling portion 11 and the hair dye L is pressurized and the cap 13 is difficult to attach to the container body 1. It is preferable to set it outside.

以上、本発明をその実施形態に基づき具体的に説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、例えば、上記実施形態においては、特に好適であるとして、塗布体１６をスポンジとしているが、スポンジ以外の他の発泡体でも良い。また、塗布体１６は、樹脂材にフロッキー植毛したものや、ゴム材にフロッキー植毛したもの等であっても良い。 The present invention has been specifically described above based on the embodiments thereof, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. However, foam other than sponge may be used. Also, the applicator 16 may be a flocky flocked resin material, a flocked rubber flocked material, or the like.

また、上記実施形態においては、回転支持部１９の外周面に、回転筒体２８の内周面に接触する姿勢制御リブ２７を設けているが、これとは逆に、回転筒体２８の内周面に、回転支持部１９の外周面に接触する姿勢制御リブを設けても良い。 In the above embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the rotation support portion 19 is provided with the attitude control rib 27 that contacts the inner peripheral surface of the rotary cylinder 28. Attitude control ribs that contact the outer peripheral surface of the rotation support portion 19 may be provided on the peripheral surface.

また、上記実施形態においては、回転部１５が、回転筒体２８及び塗布体ホルダ２９を備えているが、回転筒体２８のみとすることもできる。この場合には、回転筒体２８に塗布体１６を例えば接着や係止等により同期回転可能且つ軸線方向移動不能に装着することになる。また、この場合、回転筒体２８の基部３０の外周面は、軸体部１４の連結部２０の外径とほぼ同一径に拡径されることになる。すなわち、この拡径された基部３０が、連結部２０側において外部に露出する露出部となり、この露出部の外周面に、空気抜き溝が設けられることになる。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rotating portion 15 includes the rotating cylinder 28 and the applicator holder 29, but the rotating cylinder 28 alone may be provided. In this case, the applicator 16 is attached to the rotary cylinder 28 by, for example, adhesion or engagement so as to be synchronously rotatable and axially immovable. Further, in this case, the outer peripheral surface of the base portion 30 of the rotary cylinder 28 is expanded to have substantially the same diameter as the outer diameter of the connecting portion 20 of the shaft portion 14 . That is, the base portion 30 having the enlarged diameter becomes an exposed portion exposed to the outside on the connecting portion 20 side, and an air vent groove is provided on the outer peripheral surface of this exposed portion.
