Description

The present invention relates to a container that accommodates rod-shaped contents, and particularly to a container with a template that is suitable for drawing a predetermined shape with rod-shaped contents.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Containers containing stick-like contents such as eyeliner, eyebrow, lipstick, lip balm, or stick-type glue are known. Such a container can be used without having to wait for the rod-shaped contents with one's fingers, thereby preventing the fingers from getting stained by the contents, and is excellent in usability.

On the other hand, when drawing eyeliner with such a container in hand, it is difficult to move it freehand as intended, and the drawn line tends to be distorted. It is also difficult to finish both the left and right eyes in the same way when using freehand.

Templates having curved portions that match the eyes are also known for use in such cases. When using the template, place the curved part near the eye area and move the container so that the rod-shaped contents follow the curved part. Thereby, it is possible to draw an intended eyeline along the curved part. Patent Document 1 below discloses a cosmetic container package in which a cosmetic container and a template are packaged together.

It is provided with a claw-like piece 6c integrally connected to 6b and having a claw-like upper part. The slide member 6 can slide along the axis O with the presser portion 4c inserted inside the lower peripheral wall 6a.

The elastic body 7 is a coil spring in this embodiment, and is arranged between the upper surface of the receiving portion 4d and the lower surface of the lower peripheral wall 6a. As a result, the slide member 6 is urged upward.

The cap 8 has a cylindrical shape with a lid, and includes a plate-shaped top wall 8a and an outer circumferential wall 8b extending downward from the outer edge of the top wall 8a. As shown in FIG. 1, the cap 8 is attached to the container body 3 so as to accommodate the tapered peripheral wall 3d inside. The outer circumferential wall 8b has an outer shape that is aligned with the circumferential wall 3a of the container body 3 when the cap 8 is attached to the container body 3.

A plate-shaped front wall 8c is integrally connected to the outer surface of the outer peripheral wall 8b. The front wall 8c of this embodiment extends downward to a position overlapping the peripheral wall 3a, as shown. An opposing wall 8d facing the front wall 8c is connected to the lower end of the front wall 8c. Furthermore, side walls 8e are connected to both side edges of the front wall 8c and both side edges of the opposing wall 8d, respectively.

Further, the side wall 8e in this embodiment is provided with a cutout portion 8f that cuts out the side wall 8e from above to below, as shown in FIG. 2(b).

The template main body 10 has a long plate shape, and is formed in a size that fits in the storage space S. A predetermined curved portion or straight portion corresponding to a line drawn by the rod-shaped content N is formed at the longitudinal edge of the template body 10. For example, when eyeliner is used as the rod-shaped content N, the edges 10a and 10b of the template body 10 are provided with curved portions that match the shape of the eyes, as shown in FIG. 5(a). Note that the curved portions and straight portions provided on the edges 10a and 10b of the template body 10 may be of one type or may be of multiple types. Further, the predetermined curved portion or straight portion may be provided on one edge (for example, edge 10a) of the template body 10, or may be provided on both edges 10a and 10b as in the present embodiment. Further, when curved portions or the like are provided on the edges 10a and 10b on both sides, the shapes may be the same on both sides, but the shapes may be different so that more diverse lines can be drawn. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(b), by changing the radius of the curved portion between the edges 10a and 10b on both sides, the shapes of one edge 10a and the other edge 10b are made different. There is. Note that the radius of the illustrated curved portion is only an example, and is not limited to this. Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5(b), a curved portion provided on one edge 10a protrudes toward the other edge 10b (for example, one edge in FIG. 5(b) 10a), the curved portion provided on the other edge 10b (the curved portion indicated with radius R50 in FIG. 5(b)) is located at one edge. It protrudes in a direction away from the portion 10a. In addition, a curved portion provided on one edge 10a projects in a direction away from the other edge 10b (for example, a curved portion indicated by radius R20 of one edge 10a in FIG. 5(b) The curved portion provided on the other edge 10b (the curved portion indicated by radius R25 in FIG. 5(b)) protrudes toward the one edge 10a. In this way, by alternately arranging the curved parts on one edge 10a and the other edge 10b, a large number of curved parts can be arranged without increasing the width of the template body 10.

In this embodiment, the knob 11 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is thicker and wider than the template body 10. Here, the side surfaces of the knob 11 that are opposite in the thickness direction are referred to as first side surfaces 11a, and the side surfaces that are opposite to each other in the width direction are referred to as second side surfaces 11b. As illustrated, a first convex portion 11c and a second convex portion 11d are provided on the first side surface portion 11a and the second side surface portion 11b, respectively. The knob 11 is configured such that when the template main body 10 is housed in the storage space S as shown in FIG. Fitted and retained. Further, in this state, the second side surface portion 11b is exposed from the notch portion 8f as shown in FIG. 2(b).

The template body 10 may be made of a transparent (semi-transparent) material so that the skin or the like can be visually recognized through it, or may be made of an opaque material. Further, the template body 10 and the knob 11 may be made of different materials, for example, the template body 10 is made of hard synthetic resin, while the knob 11 is made of soft synthetic resin, or they may be made of the same material. It may be integrally formed of a material. In addition, when the template body 10 and the knob 11 are made of different materials, they may be formed into a predetermined shape and then combined (by fitting them together or fixing them with adhesive, etc.). , these may be combined in a mold by insert molding or the like.

After removing the cap 8 from the template-equipped container 1 constructed of such members, the rod-shaped contents N can be drawn out as shown in FIG. FIG. 4(a) shows a state in which the opposing operation pieces 3g are pressed inward. When the operating piece 3g is pressed in this manner, a downward force acts on the slide member 6. Here, since the shaft body 5 is prevented from moving downward by the holding portion 4c, only the slide member 6 moves downward by one heap of the spiral inclined portion 5a.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4(b), when the pressure on the operating piece 3g is released, the slide member 6 is moved upward by the biasing force of the elastic body 7. Here, since the claw-like piece 6c of the slide member 6 is engaged with the spiral inclined portion 5a, the shaft body 5 rises while being guided by the rib 3f. Therefore, the rod-shaped contents N held by the shaft body 5 can be drawn out from the outlet 3e.

In the template-equipped container 1 of this embodiment, the template main body 10 can be stored in the storage space S provided in the cap 8. Therefore, if it is desired to use the template 9 when drawing a line using the rod-shaped content N, the template 9 can be taken out immediately. In this embodiment, when the template 9 is housed in the cap 8, the second side surface portion 11b of the knob 11 is exposed from the cutout portion 8f, as shown in FIG. 2(b). Therefore, since the opposing second side surface portions 11b can be held between two fingers, the template 9 can be easily removed from the cap 8. In particular, in this embodiment, the second protrusion 11d is provided on the second side surface portion 11b, and the second protrusion 11d functions as a fingerhold, so that the template 9 can be removed more easily. Note that when the template 9 is housed in the cap 8, the front wall 8c and the opposing wall 8d press against the first convex portion 11c to fit and hold the knob 11, so that it may accidentally fall off when being carried. There's nothing to do.

When drawing an eyeline around the eyes using the removed template 9, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the most suitable curved line provided on both edges is selected and applied to the eye area. By moving the container 2 while causing the rod-shaped contents N to follow this curved line, an intended eyeline can be drawn.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiment, and unless specifically limited by the above explanation, the gist of the present invention described in the claims Various modifications and changes are possible within the range. Furthermore, the effects of the embodiments described above are merely illustrative of the effects resulting from the present invention, and do not mean that the effects of the present invention are limited to the above effects.

For example, in the container 2 of this embodiment, the rod-shaped contents N are fed out by pressing the operation piece 3g, but the configuration is not limited to this, and the contents are fed out by rotating the lower part of the container. It may be something that can be done. Further, the front wall 8c in this embodiment extends downward to a position where it overlaps with the peripheral wall 3a, but if the length of the template main body 10 may be short, the front wall 8c may have a length that does not overlap with the peripheral wall 3a. Good too.
