Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to containers for liquid cosmetics such as lipstick and nail polish, and proposes a cosmetic container that is designed to be convenient to carry and use. It is.

[Conventional technology]

Cosmetics such as liquid lipstick, nail polish, mascara, or eyeliner are conventionally stored in regular containers such as small bottles and carried in handbags or accessory cases, but the posture of the container The container is not always held vertically, but is held horizontally or upside down, and if the liquid outlet of the container is facing sideways or downwards, and the lid is poorly secured, the liquid outlet There is also a risk that cosmetics may ooze out from between the lid and the inner surface of the liquid outlet, and when the makeup brush is inserted into the container, cosmetics may adhere to parts other than the tip of the makeup brush. , As a result, it becomes impossible to apply fine makeup,
In addition, there is a problem in that it adheres to the grip of the makeup brush and stains the hands.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

This idea was designed to ensure that the container containing liquid cosmetics is always kept in an orientation with the liquid outlet facing upwards without being tipped over or turned upside down, so that the cosmetics do not ooze out. Since cosmetics do not stick to the inner surface of the liquid outlet, the makeup brush is designed to be finely applied.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention takes the following technical measures.

That is, a container 9 has a liquid outlet 5 and a lid 6 for closing it at the upper part, and a weight 2 is fixed at the lower part, and the container 9 is installed so as to be rotatable around its center. This cosmetic container has a case 10 configured so that the container 9 can be held in a position where the liquid outlet 5 is always on the upper side by the action of the weight 2.

[Example and operation]

Next, one embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal front view of the whole, Fig. 2 shows a perspective view, Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal front view of the lid, Fig. 4 shows a longitudinal front view of the container body, and Fig. 5 shows a front view of the container. of,
As shown, the container body 1 has a weight 2 made of a material with high specific gravity such as lead at the bottom, and a liquid chamber 3 above it, and a screw in the upper part of the liquid chamber 3. 4 is provided, and the outer shape of the weight 2 and the liquid chamber 3 is formed into a partial shape.

The lid 6 is formed into a partially spherical shape using a light material such as synthetic resin or light alloy, and has a female thread 7 at the bottom, and the female thread 7 of the lid 6 is screwed into the male thread 4 of the container body 1. For example, when the ceiling part 7 of the female screw 7
a is in close contact with the liquid outlet 5 either directly or through the packing 8 to seal the liquid outlet 5. In this sealed state, the lid 6 and the container body 1 are combined to form a substantially spherical container 9. be configured as follows.

Then, the container 9 is installed inside the case 10 so as to be rotatable around the center of the container 9, and due to the action of the weight 2, the weight 2 is always at the bottom and the liquid outlet 5 is at the top. The case 10 illustrated in the figure has a cubic shape and is screwed to the case body 11 with screws 12 so that it can be opened and closed. It has a case lid 13 and at least six balls 14 which are rotatably arranged at front and rear, left and right, and up and down positions to support the container 9 housed in the case 10. The balls 14 are inserted into the case body 11 at the front, left, right, and lower portions thereof and are attached to the case body 11 through ball holes 15a of the inner box 15, which is open at the top.
The ball 14 on the ceiling is loosely fitted into the ball hole 16a of the inner lid 16 which is fitted into the case lid 13 and is attached to the inner box 15. The container 9 is rotatably supported with extremely low friction by balls 14, each of which partially protrudes inward from the inner surface of the inner lid 16.

In the illustrated example, since the ball 14 is supported using the inner box 15 and the inner lid 16 in this way,
The supporting structure of the ball 14 has become extremely simple, and the inner box 15 and inner lid 16 are separated by the spacer piece 15.
b, 16b, case body 11 and case lid 13
can be easily fixed using means such as adhesive, respectively.

In addition to the above-mentioned support structure for the container 9, for example, the inner surfaces of the case body and the case lid are formed into partially spherical recessed holes, and the upper and lower parts of the container,
Even if the ball is rotatably supported left and right, front and back, and the container is formed to be rotatable together with the ball relative to the case, the structure of this invention is also followed.

Furthermore, if the case 10 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped as shown in the illustrated example, the volume of the case 10 will be minimized, making it convenient to carry.

Further, in the illustrated example, the makeup brush 17 is removably fitted into a fitting spring 18 provided on the inner surface of the inner lid 16, for example.

Next, to explain how to use it, in mobile mode,
In the container 9 supported by the respective balls 14, the weight 2 is always at the lowest position, and therefore the lid 6 and the liquid outlet 5 are always supported at the upper position.

When in use, hold the case lid 13 in the upper position and open the case lid 13 to reveal the lid 6. Unscrew the lid 6 to remove the lid 6 from the container body 1, and use the tip of the makeup brush 17. is inserted into the liquid outlet 5 to impregnate the tip with cosmetics.

[Effect of idea]

The liquid cosmetics container according to this invention is constructed as described above, and the container 9, which has a liquid outlet 5 in the upper part and a weight 2 fixed in the lower part, is placed in a case 1.
Since the interior is designed to be able to freely rotate around the center of the container 9, the weight 2 is always in the lower position, and therefore the liquid outlet 5 is always in the upper position, no matter what position the case 10 is in. The cosmetics in the container 9 will not adhere to the inner surface of the liquid outlet 5. Therefore, when the makeup brush is inserted into the container 9 from the liquid outlet 5, the cosmetics in the container 9 will not stick to the area other than the tip. This invention eliminates the drawbacks of conventional brushes, such as the inability to apply fine makeup due to adhesion of brushes, making it possible to use fine brush strokes.

In addition, since cosmetics do not get stuck near the liquid outlet 5, even in the unlikely event that the cosmetics ooze out from the contact area between the liquid outlet 5 and the lid 6, it can be stored in a handbag or accessory case. This eliminates the risk of contaminating cosmetics, etc., making it possible to create a container for liquid cosmetics that is suitable for carrying.
