Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a compact container in which a liquid cosmetic can be stored in the main body.

(Prior art and its problems) A compact container that stores liquid cosmetics in a storage chamber inside the container body and discharges the liquid cosmetics into a saucer on the top of the main body, with an operation knob provided on one side of the main body. A known device is known in which a pressing member screwed into a screw rod connected to the operating knob is moved by rotating the operating knob, and the pressing member pressurizes the liquid cosmetic in the storage chamber and discharges it from the discharge hole into the saucer. ing.

However, with such a structure, it is necessary to rotate the operation knob with a fingertip each time to discharge the liquid cosmetic into the saucer, which makes the operation cumbersome and also makes it difficult to adjust the amount of discharge. It was hot.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a compact container that can dispense an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetics into a saucer with the simple operation of pressing the operating knob. It is something to do.

(Summary of the invention) A tray with a saucer is fitted onto the upper part of the main body, a storage chamber made of a soft material is placed in the space between the tray and the main body, and a normally closed valve is provided on the top surface of the storage chamber. a cylinder that fits into the hole of the saucer; a piston that has a normally closed valve on its top surface and a passage on its wall that fits slidably into the cylinder; an elastic member having an elastic force to urge the cylinder; and when the piston is moved in a direction to push the piston into the cylinder, a valve of the cylinder opens; When the piston is moved in the direction of pulling it out from the cylinder, the valve of the piston is opened, and furthermore, an operating knob facing the piston is exposed from a hole in the bottom of the main body, and the operating knob is moved by the repulsive force of the elastic member. The gist of the compact container is such that the liquid cosmetic stored in the storage chamber can be discharged into the saucer by pressing the operation knob against the pressure, and an appropriate amount of the liquid cosmetic in the storage chamber can be discharged into the tray by pressing the operation knob. This is what I did.

(Example) In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a compact container, and the compact container 1 includes a bottomed cylindrical main body 2 and a disc-shaped tray 3 fitted on the upper part of the main body 2. and a lid 4 which is removably fitted to the main body 2 via the tray 3. 5 is a mirror attached to the inner wall of the lid body 4;
A cosmetic puff 6 is housed in a space 7 between the mirror 5 and the tray 3. Reference numeral 8 denotes a bag-shaped storage chamber made of a soft material, disposed in a space 9 between the main body 2 and the tray 3, and various liquid cosmetics are stored in the storage chamber 8. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cylindrical cylinder having a normally closed valve 11 on the upper surface.The cylinder 10 is sandwiched around the opening 12 at the upper part of the storage chamber 8 between a collar 13 and the lower surface of the tray 3, and its upper end is held in the center of the tray 3. The tray 3 is fixed to the tray 3 by being fitted into a hole 15 of a saucer 14 formed in the tray 3 . 16 is a cylindrical piston whose lower surface is fixed to the inner surface of the storage chamber 8 and whose upper surface is slidably fitted into the cylinder 10. The piston 16 has a normally closed valve 17 on the upper surface and is housed in the wall surface. It has a passage 18 leading into the chamber 8. Reference numeral 19 denotes a resilient member such as a spring stretched between the cylinder 10 and the piston 16. Reference numeral 20 denotes an operating knob that faces the piston 16 and is fixed to the outer surface of the storage chamber 8. The operating knob 20 protrudes from a hole 21 at the bottom of the main body 2 and can be pushed in with a fingertip.

In the illustrated example, an O-ring 22 is externally fitted to the upper part of the piston 16 to slidably fit the upper part of the piston 16 into the cylinder 10, but depending on the material of the piston 16, the O-ring 22 is not necessarily necessary, and the number of passages 18 provided in the wall surface of the piston 16 may be provided not only at one location but also at a plurality of locations.

Hereinafter, the operation of discharging the liquid cosmetic stored in the storage chamber 8 into the saucer 14 in the above-mentioned embodiment will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

Operation knob 20 that can be exposed from the hole 21 at the bottom of the main body 2
If you push into the main body 2 with your fingertip, the operating knob 20
The piston 16 facing the cylinder 10 can be raised against the repulsive force of the repellent member 19. When the cylinder 17 is filled with liquid cosmetics in advance, the valve 17 on the top surface is closed when the piston 16 rises, so the liquid cosmetics filled into the cylinder 10 is pressurized by the piston 16. , cylinder 10 with the liquid cosmetic.
The valve 11 on the top surface can be pressed open to discharge the liquid into the saucer 14.

If the push-in of the operating knob 20 is released here, the piston 17 will return to its original position due to the elastic force of the elastic member 19, but since the pressure inside the cylinder 10 becomes negative due to the lowering of the piston 17, this is different from the above. Conversely, the valve 11 on the top surface of the cylinder 10 is closed, while the valve 17 on the top surface of the piston 10 is pressed open by the liquid cosmetic flowing in from the passage 18, and the cylinder 10 is filled with liquid cosmetic again. Since the storage chamber 8 shrinks and deforms as the stored liquid cosmetic is consumed, the stored liquid cosmetic is reliably filled into the cylinder 10 to the end.

In this way, by pushing the operation knob 20 into the main body 2, an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetics filled in the cylinder 10 can be discharged into the saucer 14, and when the operation knob 20 is released from being pushed, the cylinder 10 can be discharged again. Since the liquid cosmetic can be filled in the container 10, a desired amount of the liquid cosmetic can be continuously discharged into the saucer 14.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic can be discharged into a saucer with an extremely simple operation of only pressing the operating knob.
