JP7377198B2 - Cosmetic applicator and how to use the cosmetic applicator - Google Patents

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator capable of discharging and applying cosmetic to a user's skin, and a method of using the cosmetic applicator.

When applying cosmetics or medicines such as lotions, emulsions, beauty creams, etc., generally, the cosmetics contained in a package such as a bottle, plastic container, tube, or can are poured into the palm of the hand and spread over both hands. Apply the cosmetic to the desired area of the skin or apply the massage to the desired area, and then spread the cosmetic with your hands. Therefore, when applying cosmetics, the cosmetics sometimes adhere to the hands, making it necessary to wash the hands.

Also, when using a roller massage tool, it is possible to use it in conjunction with a beauty serum,
(1) Remove the serum from the container and take it in your hand.
(2) Apply beauty serum,
(3) Applying the roller is a three-step process, which is cumbersome.
This method of use has the disadvantage that if the beauty tool is held with hands covered with beauty serum, it will become sticky or dirty.

Therefore, Cited Document 1 discloses a device for applying a liquid or cream to the lips without getting the hands dirty, in which a rotating body is impregnated with liquid in advance and the liquid is applied.

Further, Cited Document 2 discloses a configuration in which a highly viscous liquid is applied to a roller and then transferred.

Patent No. 5700737 Patent No. 5841254

However, the configuration of Patent Document 1 is intended to be applied to the lips, and the application range is narrow. Additionally, because the rotating body and liquid are constantly in contact with each other inside the device, if you forget to close the removable lid, there is a risk that the liquid inside will evaporate through the rotating body for liquid impregnation. .

Further, in the configuration of Patent Document 2, since the liquid is spread uniformly on the roller before being applied, it is necessary to apply the liquid many times when it is desired to apply a large amount of liquid to a certain area. Furthermore, because the liquid is applied from a bottle onto the roller surface, there is a limitation in that the viscosity of the liquid that can be used must be high so that it does not run off when transferred to the roller. In addition, with this configuration, since the liquid is spread and stretched over the roller surface before being applied, there is a possibility that the number of rollers becomes two, which increases the size of the apparatus.

A beauty cosmetic applicator according to the following embodiment of the present invention is a beauty device used for applying cosmetics such as lotion, emulsion, massage liquid, liquid foundation, etc., or for massage purposes. (Beauty roller, discharge container with roller).

<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is an external view of a cosmetic application device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view of the cosmetic applicator 1 of FIG. 1 when it is not in use (standby). FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the cosmetic applicator of FIG. 1 in use.

The overall structure of the cosmetic application device 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

The cosmetic applicator 1 includes a main body 10 and a lid 11. The main body part 10 includes a bottle part 2 (see FIG. 3), a dispenser 3, a first joint 4, a second joint 5, an application roller 6, an engagement stopper 7, a grip part 8, Equipped with

The bottle part 2 is a bottomed container body that stores a content L that is a liquid (cosmetic). A small diameter mouth part 21 is provided at the top of the bottle part 2. A male screw 22 is provided around the mouth 21.

The dispenser 3 is a spray member (mist spray) having a mist nozzle that sprays the contents in a mist by pressing the upper part. This dispenser 3 sprays a fixed amount of mist by one pushing operation. In the embodiment of the present invention, the dispenser 3 and the bottle part 2 function as an injection device (discharge device).

In the embodiment of the present invention, an example is shown in which the cosmetic is made into a mist and is sprayed (sprayed) onto the application roller, but the sprayed liquid may be in the form of drops instead of a mist. Furthermore, the liquid applied to the application roller may be in the form of discharged foam. "Discharging the cosmetic" includes discharging the cosmetic in the form of mist or droplets and discharging the cosmetic in the form of foam from a discharge hole that does not come into contact with the application roller.

The lower part of the dispenser 3 is fitted onto the mouth part 21 of the bottle part 2, and the upper end is provided with a discharge hole (injection hole, spray hole) O for discharging (spraying) the contents in a mist form. .

More specifically, the dispenser 3 includes a nozzle portion 31, a pressing collar portion 32, a nozzle-side annular body 33, a base cap 34, a female screw portion 35 for bottle engagement, a cylinder 36, a suction rod 37, Equipped with

Details will be described later in conjunction with FIG. 4, but in the dispenser 3, the nozzle part 31, the pressing collar part 32, and the nozzle side annular body 33 function as a pushing movement part 38, and the base cap 34 and the bottle engaging female The threaded portion 35, cylinder 36, and suction rod 37 function as a fixing portion 39. Note that, of the fixing portion 39, the base cap 34 excluding the lower cylinder 36 and the suction rod 37, and the portion surrounding the female screw portion 35 for engaging the bottle function as an attachment cap.

In the dispenser 3 of the present embodiment, the push-moving section 38 is disposed to be freely movable downward when the pushing collar section 32 is pushed downward by the user. The fixing part 39 sucks a predetermined amount of the content L contained in the bottle part 2 and sends it to the nozzle part 31 when the pushing movement part 38 moves downward. Note that a spring (not shown) causes the push-in moving portion 38 to return to its original position after being pushed.

The nozzle section 31 functions as a spray section that converts the sent liquid into a mist and sprays it from the discharge hole O. A discharge hole O is provided at the top of the tip (upper end, tip) of the nozzle portion 31 for discharging (spouting) the contents into the outside world in the form of mist.

The pressing flange 32 is a flange for pressing that is provided below the nozzle portion 31 and protrudes laterally from a part of the outer wall of the pushing movement portion 38 . In this configuration, the pressing flange 32 is fitted into the first joint 4.

The nozzle-side annular body 33 is a lower portion of the pressing flange 32. The nozzle-side annular body 33 functions as an annular inner wall portion that enters inside the base cap 34 when the pressing collar portion 32 is pressed.

In this embodiment, the user's finger does not come into direct contact with the pressing collar 32, but the first joint 4 is fitted from above. With this configuration, by pressing down the application roller 6, a pressing force is transmitted to the dispenser 3 via the joint parts 4 and 5, and the mist-like contents are ejected from the dispenser 3. The internal structure of the dispenser 3 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

A cylinder 36 is provided below the pump part PP (see FIG. 4A) in the center of the base cap 34. The suction rod 37 is fitted inside the lower part of the cylinder 36 and sucks the contents L contained in the bottle part 2.

Furthermore, a female threaded portion 35 for engaging a bottle is provided below the outer wall portion that is the wall portion of the base cap 34 . The dispenser 3 is attached to the mouth part 21 of the bottle part 2 by engaging the female thread part 35 for bottle engagement with the male thread 22 of the bottle part 2 .

The first joint 4 includes a pressing portion 41 that is fitted onto the pressing flange 32 of the dispenser 3 and a female screw portion 42 . The first joint 4 is fitted into the dispenser 3 from above so that the pressing part 41 moves the pressing collar part 32 downward.

The second joint 5 is fitted into the first joint 4 and holds the application roller 6 from the side so that the lower surface of the application roller 6 is separated from the discharge hole O. Specifically, the second joint 5 includes a male screw portion 51, an extension portion 52, and a roller holding portion 53. The male threaded portion 51 fits into the female threaded portion 42 of the first joint 4 . The roller holding section 53 supports both ends of the cavity at the center of the cylinder of the application roller 6 as bearings. The extending portion 52 extends from the male screw portion 51 and is connected to an end of the roller holding portion 53.

Further, the second joint 5 may be provided with a beam portion 54 that is a reinforcing portion in order to increase the strength. The beam portion 54 connects the two extension portions 52. A through hole 55 is formed in the beam portion 54 so as not to obstruct passage of the mist liquid discharged from the discharge hole.

In this embodiment, the application roller 6 is supported only at both ends by the roller holding parts 53, and is not supported at the center in the axial direction, and the application roller 6 is made of a hollow elastic body (such as a sponge). . Therefore, the vicinity of the center of the application roller 6 can be deformed to match the unevenness of the skin of the face, neck, joints, etc. Therefore, the liquid can be applied and massaged more softly without putting a burden on the skin.

In this example, an example is shown in which the extending portion 52 has two ends that support the shaft portion and is reinforced by the beam portion 54, but the extending portion 52 surrounds the lower part of the application roller 6. It may be configured as follows.

By pressing down the application roller 6, a pressing force is transmitted to the dispenser 3 via the joint parts 4 and 5, and mist-like contents are ejected from the dispenser 3. The content L contained in the bottle part 2 is preferably a liquid that becomes atomized by applying pressure inside the dispenser 3, has a high static viscosity, and causes a decrease in viscosity due to shearing.

In the present invention, the content contained as a liquid includes, for example, gellan gum, xanthan gum, crystalline cellulose, etc. as a thickener, but the type of thickener is not limited to these as long as it satisfies the above conditions. .

In particular, it is preferable that the content L stored as a liquid, such as a cosmetic, has a complex viscosity of 10,000 mPa·s or more in a low shear region and a loss tangent of 1 or more in a high shear region. The low shear region here refers to a strain of 1% or less and an angular frequency of 1 rad/s or less when measuring oscillation with a stress-controlled rheometer, and the high shear region refers to a strain of 50 rad/s or less at an angular frequency of 100 rad/s. % or more.

Further, mist-like contents are discharged onto the lower surface of the application roller 6 from the discharge holes O of the dispensers 3 arranged at a distance.

The engagement stopper 7 connects the dispenser 3 and the grip portion 8 . By releasing the engagement state between the engagement stopper 7 and the grip part 8, the grip part 8 can be removed from the bottle part 2 and the dispenser 3.

The application roller 6 is a rotating application body that comes into contact with the user's skin. The application roller 6 is spaced apart from the discharge hole O of the dispenser 3 by the joint parts 4 and 5, and serves as a target for ejection (discharge target) from the dispenser 3. In this example, the coating roller, which is an example of a coating rotating body, is arranged so that the axial direction indicated by the arrow A in FIG. 2 is approximately perpendicular to the discharge direction of the contents sprayed from the discharge hole O. .

Therefore, the application roller 6 is rotatable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction A of the roller. Therefore, when the application roller 6 is used in contact with the user's skin, the device 1 is moved in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the roller, and the rotating roller is moved in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. It is moved on the skin surface in the direction of arrow R in FIG.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the content L sprayed onto the surface of the application roller 6 is applied to the user's skin as the application roller 6 rotates.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the size of the application roller is, for example, 20 mm in diameter and 20 mm in width. Further, the surface of the cylindrical side surface of the application roller is made of an elastic member such as a sponge. In this example, the material of the elastic member such as the sponge that constitutes the application roller is, for example, urethane (e.g. Ruby Cell (registered trademark)), NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) rubber, natural rubber (latex, e.g. Acrylic Nitrile Butadiene Rubber), Composed of silicone, vinyl acetate (PVA), etc.

Furthermore, examples of the elastic members that make up the application roller include porous elastic bodies represented by sponges, aggregates of fibers such as nonwoven fabric (sewn pile), and flocked materials (flocked with nylon, rayon, etc.). , and other specially processed products.

With the above configuration, an appropriate massage effect can be given to the skin.

Furthermore, mist-like contents are discharged onto the lower surface of the application roller 6 from the discharge hole O of the dispenser 3 .

The grip part 8 is a part that is gripped by the user's hand, and in FIG. 1, it has a substantially octagonal cylinder shape with a bottom. Note that the grip portion 8 may have a substantially cylindrical shape or another substantially polygonal cylindrical shape. Furthermore, the holding portion 8 having a substantially cylindrical or substantially polygonal tube shape may be provided with a depression, a protrusion, etc. to make it easier for the user to hold it. Additionally, a strap hole may be provided in the grip portion 8 to prevent loss.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lid part 11 and the grip part 8 have a substantially octagonal tube shape, so in this example, when the lid part 11 is tightened, the entire device 1 has a substantially octagonal prism shape. . Note that this example is just an example, and the entire device 1 may have a substantially cylindrical or substantially polygonal column shape.

In this configuration, the application rotating body does not come into contact with the nozzle portion and the upper tip of the second joint portion both when in use and when not in use. Therefore, since it is only necessary to discharge the contents to the application rotary body in an amount to be used, it is possible to prevent the contents such as cosmetics applied to the application rotary body from deteriorating due to oxidation.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, by pushing down the application roller 6 with the lid part 11 removed, a part of the pushing movement part 38 of the dispenser 3 moves so as to enter the fixed part 39. By this operation, the dispenser 3 pressurizes the contents and discharges them in the form of mist, thereby causing the contents L in the form of mist to adhere to the coating roller 6 .

4A and 4B are cross-sectional views of the dispenser 3, with FIG. 4A showing the normal state and FIG. 4B showing the state when being pressed.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, a vertically extending stem (cylindrical base) 381 is provided inside the push-moving portion 38 of the dispenser 3 and has a shaft hole SH formed therein. An upper rod 382, a nozzle tip 383, and an operating rod 384 are provided inside the stem 381, and a piston 385 is provided in a part of the lower portion inside the operating rod 384. The upper rod 382 can increase the flow rate of the liquid flowing in from the lower end of the shaft hole SH and cause it to be ejected from the nozzle tip 383 in the form of mist.

Furthermore, since an inner guide tube portion 391 is formed inside the attachment cap of the fixing portion 39, the attachment cap has a double annular standing portion formed by the base cap 34 and the inner guide tube portion 391. . The inner guide cylinder portion 391, the operating rod 384, and the piston 385 function as a pump portion PP.

The push-in moving part 38 is elastically supported by the fixed part 39 so as to be pressable. When the pressing flange 32 operates in the downward direction as shown in FIG. 4B, the nozzle-side annular body 33, which is a part of the pushing moving part 38, enters inside the base cap 34 on the fixed part 39 side. The outer wall portion of the base cap 34 becomes an outer wall portion into which the nozzle-side annular body 33, which is a part of the lower end of the push-in moving portion 38, enters when the push-in moving portion 38 is pushed downward.

In addition, by operating the pressing flange 32 in the downward direction and moving the pushing moving part 38 downward, when the operating rod 384 and the piston 385 descend, the contents in the cylinder 36 are transferred to the shaft hole SH. It is fed and discharged in a mist form from the discharge hole O through the upper rod 382.

Then, when the spraying (discharge operation) is finished and the force to push the pressing flange 32 downward disappears, the pushing moving part 38 returns to the state from FIG. 4B to FIG. 4A due to the elastic force of the elastic member (not shown). At this time, a predetermined amount of content L is sucked into the cylinder 36 from inside the bottle part 2.

The configuration of the dispenser 3 described above allows the liquid sprayed from the dispenser 3 to the application roller 6 to be quantitative. For example, the injection amount in the operation of FIG. 4A⇒FIG. 4B is, for example, 50 μL, 70 μL, 100 μL, etc., and it is preferable to set a predetermined amount in advance.

Here, in this specification, mist discharge (spraying) refers to a state in which a liquid is turned into mist droplets with a diameter of several tens of micrometers or less, and the mist droplets are ejected and moved while being dispersed in the atmosphere. .

In the embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic is atomized and sprayed onto the application roller, but the liquid to be discharged may be in the form of drops or foam instead of a mist.

Droplet jetting refers to a state in which liquid droplets with a diameter of several tens of μm or more and several millimeters are ejected and move approximately linearly in the atmosphere. The amount of pressurization of the contents (liquid) in the nozzle portion 31 is greater when the liquid is ejected in the form of a mist than when it is ejected in the form of drops.

Based on the dispenser used, the size of the ejected liquid droplets (mist or droplets) is preset. Alternatively, the size of the sprayed mist or droplets may be changed by adjusting the diameter of the nozzle that sprays the liquid, the internal structure of the nozzle, etc.

In addition, when discharging foam, the foam discharge nozzle of the dispenser has a small chamber between the pump head (discharge section) and the pipe that sucks up the liquid. It is compressed in a small chamber, mixes air with the sucked up liquid, turns it into a foam, and pushes it out. The pump pipe of the foam discharge nozzle is thinner than that of a normal pump bottle in order to increase air pressure, and it accommodates cosmetics that have a lower viscosity than the contents that are discharged in the form of drops or mist. . When discharging foamy liquid, settings are made in advance based on a dedicated dispenser for foam discharging.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the cosmetic applicator 1 of the first embodiment is used.

Embodiments of the present invention allow cosmetics to be applied to the skin and massaged with the application roller using one hand without getting the hands dirty. In addition, since the application roller 6 is sprayed and applied without being spread on the application roller 6, the part that the application roller 6 contacts becomes the application position of the contents such as cosmetics on the skin, and the user does not want to touch the skin. The location can be determined by Therefore, even when applying cosmetics to the face, massage can be performed without using a mirror.

As a result of the above, it is possible to freely perform the massage motion while watching TV, DVD, etc., or while reading a magazine. Furthermore, since the injection devices 2 and 3 of this configuration can be operated with one hand, the injection devices can be operated while using the other hand to talk on a mobile phone, surf the Internet, pick up food, or perform other activities. It is possible to perform motions and application motions on the skin.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the cosmetic applicator of the first embodiment is spraying during use.

The cosmetic application device of this embodiment is configured to spray onto the application roller 6 from the bottom to the top. Therefore, for example, when using the roller by rolling it on the skin, the user can place the applicator roller 6 under the chin and move the grip part 8 upward, so that the applicator roller 6 can move against the grip part 8. When the dispenser 3 approaches, a part of the push-moving part 38 enters the fixed part 39 to activate the spraying function, and the contents are sprayed onto the application roller 6.

In this way, the user can spray the content onto the applicator roller 6 with one action and then spread the content by moving the applicator roller 6, so the user can spray the content over a wide range of skin with one hand. You can massage while applying cosmetics.

In this configuration, the application rotating body does not come into contact with the tip of the nozzle portion both when in use and when not in use. Therefore, since it is sufficient to discharge only the amount to be used onto the coating rotary body, deterioration due to oxidation of the cosmetic applied to the coating rotary body can be prevented.

Moreover, since the dispenser 3 is airtight inside when not in use, the contents in the bottle part 2 can be prevented from volatilizing even if the dispenser 3 is left without being closed with the lid part 11 closed.

In addition, although FIG. 6 shows the usage state during normal upward discharge (top injection), the cosmetic application device 1 can be It is more preferable to configure it so that the spray can be sprayed onto the surface of the application roller 6 regardless of the orientation of the dispenser 3 in a tilted state or an upside down state.

FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view when replacing the bottle part 2 of the cosmetic applicator 1 of the first embodiment.

First, by twisting the engagement stopper 7 while pushing it from the side, the engagement between the engagement stopper 7 and the grip portion 8 is released. Then, by lifting the engagement stopper 7 with respect to the gripping part 8, the gripping part 8 is removed from the bottle part 2, the dispenser 3, and the engagement stopper 7.

By rotating the bottle part 2 with respect to the dispenser 3, the engagement between the male thread 22 of the bottle part 2 and the bottle engaging female thread part 35 of the dispenser 3 is released, and the bottle part 2 is rotated with respect to the dispenser 3. 2 is removed. After removing the bottle part 2, the bottle part 2 can be replaced by attaching a new bottle part.

In the embodiment of the present invention, even if the liquid content is used up, the cosmetic application device 1 Other parts of the device can be used for a longer period of time.

Further, the application roller can be removed from the second joint 5 by deforming the side surface of the outer peripheral portion of the second joint 5 of the application roller 6 so as to crush it from the lateral direction to the center side. It is. Since the application roller 6 is removable from the second joint 5, the application roller 6 can be replaced with another type of application rotating body.

When replacing a coating roller, which is an example of a coating rotary body, it may be replaced with the same type of coating rotary body, or may be replaced with a different type of coating rotary body. In the embodiment of the present invention, even if the applicator rotor becomes dirty or worn out, by replacing the applicator rotor, other parts of the cosmetic applicator can be used for a long time, and even if the applicator is By changing the type, the cosmetic applicator can be applied to multiple uses.

Here, FIGS. 8A to 10B show an example in which the coating rotating body is replaced with a different type from the configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 described above.

<Modification example 1 of application roller>
FIGS. 8A and 8B are explanatory diagrams of a first modification of the application roller of the cosmetic application device of the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 8A is a sectional view of the application roller 6A and the second joint 5, and FIG. 8B is a sectional view of the application roller 6A and the second joint 5, and FIG. 8B is a view taken from the direction of the arrow in FIG. 8A. 8A and 8B show an example in which the application roller 6A is constituted by a hard roller 61.

The hard roller 61, which is the cylindrical portion of the application roller 6A, is made of, for example, thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene or polyethylene, or metal.

A plurality of striped protrusions 62 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the hard roller 61 of this configuration. As shown in FIG. 8A, the striped projections 62 extend in the width direction of the cylinder, and as shown in FIG. 8B, a plurality of striped projections 62 are provided in the circumferential direction.

The striped protrusions 62 that form the unevenness on the surface of the hard roller 61 have a height Pt of about 0.5 mm and a width Pw of about 18 mm.The material of the striped protrusions 62 is different even if it is the same as that of the hard roller. It may be a material.

When the applicator roller 6A configured in this modified example performs an applicator operation, stimulation due to the unevenness of the roller surface reaches the muscles deep inside the skin. It is effective when used for massage to stimulate muscles.

In this example, the hard roller is provided with striped protrusions on its surface, but for example, rounded, approximately cylindrical granular protrusions, or hemispherical protrusions arranged in the width direction may be used. Alternatively, a configuration may be adopted in which a plurality of them are provided in the circumferential direction.

<Modification example 2 of application roller>
9A and 9B are explanatory diagrams of a second modification of the application roller of the cosmetic application device of the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 9A is a cross-sectional view of the application roller 6B and the second joint 5, and FIG. 9B is a view in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 9A. 9A and 9B, the application roller 6B shows an example in which a plurality of puffs 63 are provided on the surface of the shaft portion 64.

In addition, in this example, an example in which three puffs are provided as the plurality of puffs is shown, but one puff may be wrapped directly around the shaft portion 64, and the number of the plurality of puffs may be 2 or more. There may be one or four or more.

This puff may be made of a gel-like material. With this configuration example, for example, when the puff hits the skin during use, it is possible to obtain a soft feel as if it is touching the skin, and it can be used without impregnating it with liquid, unlike porous materials such as sponges. This has the effect of reducing the need for cleaning, etc.

Regarding the replacement of the application roller in FIGS. 8A to 9B, we have explained the replacement of only the application roller part, but when replacing the type of application rotating body, it is also possible to replace the second joint 5 that holds the application roller at the same time. good.

<Coating rotor: Modification 3>
FIGS. 10A and 10B are explanatory diagrams of a third modification of the application rotating body of the cosmetic application device of the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view of the coating rotary body 6C and the second joint 5C, and FIG. 10B is a view taken from the direction of the arrow in FIG. 10A. 10A and 10B show an example in which the coating rotating body 6C is a sphere.

The coating sphere 65, which is the coating rotating body of this embodiment, is made of, for example, polypropylene, polyethylene, metal, or the like. Alternatively, the surface portion of the application sphere 65 that comes into contact with the skin may be wrapped with a sponge or the like.

Further, the second joint 5C of this embodiment is fitted into the first joint 4, and holds the lower surface and upper edge of the application sphere 65 so that the lower surface of the application sphere 65 is spaced from the discharge hole O. . Specifically, the second joint 5C includes a male screw portion 51, an extension portion 52C, a beam portion 54C, a roller slip-off prevention portion 56, and a roller mounting portion 57.

In this embodiment, the application sphere 65 is placed on the roller placement part 57 provided on the beam part 54C with the extension part 52C pulled outward. Then, by returning the stretching portion 52C to its original state, the roller slip-off prevention portion 56 protects the edge of the portion above half of the coating sphere 65 so that a portion of the coating sphere 65 pops out from the stretching portion 52C. Insert.

In this way, since the application rotating body 6C is the application sphere 65 and the periphery of the upper edge is held by the second joint 5C, the rotation direction of the application sphere 65 is not limited. Therefore, since the application sphere 65 can rotate freely, the user can move the cosmetic application device to which this modification is applied in any direction on the skin surface.

However, in the configuration of this modified example, force is concentrated at the center of contact with the skin during application, and the contact area per position is smaller compared to the first embodiment where the contact is uniform on the surface. . Therefore, it is preferable to select and install the type of coating rotor as appropriate depending on the application.

In addition, in the first embodiment and modifications 1 to 3, the first joint 4 and the second joint 5 are constructed as separate bodies, but the joint is constructed as one part and is used for pressing. It may be directly fitted to the collar portion 32.

<Second embodiment>

In this embodiment, the dispenser 30 is provided with a press head section 31E that atomizes the liquid content and sprays it sideways instead of a nozzle section that sprays the liquid upward. The press head portion 31E has a discharge hole P formed on the side (side end portion).

In the dispenser 30 of this embodiment, the pressing collar portion 32 protrudes laterally from the lower side of the pressing head portion 31E. The pushing moving part 38E is arranged to be freely movable downward when a downward force is applied to the pushing collar part 32. Furthermore, the fixed part 39E has a pump function that sucks a predetermined amount of the content L contained in the bottle part 2 and sends it to the pressing head part 31E when the pushing movement part 38E moves downward.

In this embodiment, the rotary joint 9 (9E) is further connected to the second joint 50 and pivots about an axis as a joint portion.

Further, in the present embodiment, the extending portion 52E, which is the supporting portion of the second joint 50, is opened as a through hole 59 at a portion facing the application roller 60 during use, and the upper end portion of the second joint 50 is opened as a through hole 59. When the head 58 is pressed down, a downward force is applied to the pressing flange 32 via the first joint 4, and the pushing moving part 38E of the dispenser 30 is arranged to be moved downward. There is. Therefore, in this embodiment, the mist-like content L is ejected (discharged) onto the application roller 60 by pressing down the head 58 of the second joint 50 with the user's finger.

In addition, in the case of a configuration in which the rotary joint 9 is located directly above during use as shown in FIG. 11, the contents may be ejected by pressing down the rotary joint 9, which is the upper end.

In this embodiment, the dispenser 30 is provided with a rotary joint 9 (9E) that can pivot about an axis. When in use, the user turns the rotary joint 9 (9E) sideways so that the application roller 60 is located on the side. When not in use, the rotary joint 9 (9E) is turned upward so that the application roller 60 is positioned upward.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the application roller 6 can be moved laterally only when in use, and the application roller 60 can be moved upward, so that the space can be made more compact when not in use.

In this embodiment, for sideways ejection (injection), for example, the user can press the head 58 of the second joint 50 with his or her finger while pressing the head 58 of the second joint 50 against the forehead or cheek of the face while sitting. Can be sprayed. Therefore, when adding liquid to the applicator roller 60, it is possible to apply the liquid to the applicator roller 60 without changing the pressure of the applicator roller 60 against the user's skin. Skin care becomes possible.

Although the above example has been explained using a liquid as an example, the content (cosmetic) L that can be accommodated in the storage section of the cosmetic cosmetic applicator of the present invention may be other liquids. For example, it may be an emulsion, a beauty cream, a massage agent, a scalp massage agent, a diet massage agent, a refreshing agent, a warming agent, and the like. Furthermore, the cosmetic according to the present invention includes a pollen adsorption inhibitor.

Further, in the above example, the container main body is a bottomed bottle part, but the container main body may have a tube shape. Furthermore, in the above example, the bottle part 2 is a general bottle with a suction rod 37, but the container body is an airless bottle that creates a vacuum state inside the bottle by providing a bottom piston inside the bottle. There may be. Alternatively, the container body is a double-walled airless bottle that creates a vacuum inside the inner bag by providing a flexible inner bag that is removably attached to the outer container of the bottle. There may be.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various modifications may be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention as described in the claims. It is something that can be transformed and changed.

For example, the cosmetic applicator 1 does not necessarily need the engagement stopper 7, the grip part 8, and the lid part 11, but rather includes the bottle part 2, dispenser 3, first joint 4, second joint 5, and application roller (application roller). (rotating body) 6.
