Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a powder container having a retractable applicator tip for applying powder or solid cosmetics such as eyeshadow or blusher. be.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

A cosmetic container in which a powdered cosmetic is stored in a container, a cap is equipped with an applicator (for example, a tip), and the cosmetic is elastically pressed against the applicator to facilitate adhesion of the cosmetic is known, for example, from Utility Model Publication No. 58-18809. No., or Utility Model No. 56-22808, etc.

However, in these conventional cosmetic containers, the applicator is rubbed against the cosmetic when the cap is twisted and removed, and the applicator cannot be simply pulled out or inserted in a straight line when used. However, the operation is troublesome, and the adhesion of the cosmetic to the tip of the applicator is not sufficient, and the inner tray filled with the cosmetic must be elastically held within the cap, which requires a complicated structure. However, there are many drawbacks such as an increase in the number of parts and complicated assembly work.

Therefore, Utility Application No. 18403 (Sho 58-)
No. 122513) discloses a rod-shaped cosmetic container in which when the actuating rod of the applicator is pushed in, the applicator rotates and is pressed against the cosmetic. This is because there is no need to twist the cap by hand and rub the application body onto the cosmetic as in the above-mentioned known examples.
Although the operation seems simple, the actuating rod 21 for pushing the application member 29 around is configured to rotate by itself at the same time as it is pushed linearly. Therefore, if the fingers pushing the protruding end 24 of the actuating rod 21 are in strong contact with each other, the rotation of the actuating rod may be inhibited by the frictional resistance. It is difficult to adjust the amount of pressing force enough to cause this. Furthermore, if the rotation is not inhibited, there is a problem that the protruding end 24 rubs against the finger in contact with the protruding end of the actuating rod, giving a ticklish rubbing sensation, which is not necessarily comfortable to use.

[Purpose of invention]

Therefore, the present invention allows the necessary and sufficient amount of cosmetics to be deposited on the application body continuously and quickly with a purely linear operation, and also prevents the linear operation part from rotating as if rubbing against the fingertips. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a powder container with a retractable tip.

[Summary of the idea]

The powder container of the present invention has a cylindrical main body long enough to be gripped with three to four fingers, and a tapered cylinder that can be rotated and moved forward and backward by a linear pressing operation from the rear end. is constantly pressed in the distal direction within the cylindrical body so that it extends and protrudes beyond the tip of the cylindrical body, and an applicator tip is provided at the tip of the tapered cylinder, and a cosmetic material is placed inside the cap to be applied to the tip of the cylindrical body. An inner tray filled with the cosmetic is fixedly attached, and when the cap is applied, the applicator chip contracts and comes into pressure contact with the cosmetic.

In the powder container of the present invention, once the cap is attached to the applicator tip, the applicator tip is compressed and comes into strong pressure contact with the cosmetic. Since the body tip rotates and is strongly rubbed against the cosmetics, enough cosmetics can be applied to the tip with a simple operation, and when knocking the rear end of the cylindrical body, the rear end itself does not rotate, so the tip of the fingertip It does not cause discomfort such as tickling. When in use, the cylindrical body can be straightly pulled out of the cap and immediately applied to make-up, making it possible to apply make-up very simply and quickly.

[Embodiment of the invention] An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a powder container with an extensible tip of the present invention with a cap placed on it, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the elongated applicator tip when the cap is removed.

The powder container with a retractable tip of the present invention basically consists of two parts: a part that expandably holds the applicator and a part that holds the cosmetic in a fixed manner.

As shown in FIG. 1, the part that holds the applicator in an extendable manner has a cylindrical body 1 with open ends,
Preferably, the main body 1 is long enough to be grasped with three or four fingers of one hand. A fixed cylinder 3 having a stepped portion on the inner periphery is fixed to the rear end (left end in the figure) of the main body 1, and inside the fixed cylinder 3, a slide shaft 2 is slidable linearly. It is inserted so that it does not fall out from 3. The outer end of the slide shaft 2 protrudes from the rear end of the main body 1 as a knock cover 2a, so that it can be pressed (knocked) with fingers. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the inner end of the slide shaft 2 is provided with a driven protrusion 4a that is a slanted cam surface of the rotating shaft 4 housed inside the fixed shaft 3.
(The diagonal cam surface is shown in cross-section at different heights in FIG. 1). Therefore, when the slide shaft 2 is pushed in linearly, the rotary shaft 4, which is pressed by the spring 5 from the opposite side of the cam surface, attempts to rotate and escape, causing a rotational movement around the axis.

The rotating shaft 4 is pressed toward the left end by a ring-shaped stopper 6 via a spring 5, and the inner end 4b of the rotating shaft 4 extends deeply into the hollow part of the tapered cylinder 9 and is connected to the vertical groove 9a thereof via a vertical rib 4c. The rotary motion and the forward motion are transmitted to the tapered cylinder 9. The rotation and axial sliding of the tapered tube 9 is guided by a fitting tube 11 fixed to the tip of the main body 1 (the right end in FIG. 1). Fitting tube 1
A pressing spring 8 is interposed between the inner end of the tapered tube 1 and the rear end of the tapered tube 9 to constantly press the tapered tube 9 to the right in FIG. Therefore, when the cap is removed, the tapered tube 9 slides on the rotating shaft 4 due to the expansion of the spring 8 and extends and protrudes more than the main body 1, as shown in FIG.

A tip 11, which is a cosmetic applicator, is supported at the tip of the tapered tube 9.

In this way, the applicator according to the present invention is always elastically biased in the direction of the cap, and also pushes (knocks) the knock cover 3a in a short straight line.
A slide shaft 2 that moves mostly straight,
This allows it to rotate through the rotating shaft 4 which is rotated via the oblique cam surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cosmetic holding portion to be attached to the applicator tip 11, which is constantly pressed and made slidable, is fixed to the inner bottom of the cap 12, which is a cylindrical body with a bottom. It is sufficient to fill the inner tray 13 with cosmetics 14 such as powder. The inner plate 13 may be a simple cylindrical body and may be fixed to the bottom of the cap, so the structure is simple and the volume can be made relatively large.

When using, for example, use the index finger of the right hand or less.
When the main body 1 is gripped with a book or four and the knock cover 3a is knocked with the thumb, the tip 10 is rotated while elastically pressing the cosmetic 14, and the cosmetic is sufficiently rubbed onto the tip. When the cap 12 is held down with the other hand, for example, the left hand, and the main body 1 is pulled out with the right hand, the tip 10 is coated with enough cosmetics to be used immediately. When it is necessary to apply more cosmetics, simply insert the tip 10 straight into the cap 12 again, and the tip 10 will be pushed against the force of the pressure spring 8, making strong pressure contact with the cosmetics 14. Therefore, the cosmetic will adhere to the tip, but if a larger amount of cosmetic is required, it is sufficient to knock the knock cover 2a and pull it out. All of these movements are simply linear and do not require any twisting or twisting, so not only can makeup be applied extremely easily and quickly, but there is no need to adjust the pressure with your fingers when applying the knot. There is no discomfort caused by the rotating knob cover sliding against the pad of the finger.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, simply by attaching the cap to the cylindrical body, the applicator tip and the cosmetic come into elastic pressure contact, and by further knocking the knock cover at the rear end of the body two or three times, Since the applicator tip rotates while being in pressure contact with the cosmetic material, sufficient cosmetic material can be positively adhered to the tip with a simple operation. To apply makeup, it is sufficient to simply pull out the cylindrical body from the cap in a straight line, and there is no need for the user to twist or twist the applicator tip at all.
If the amount applied in one application is not enough, simply place the cap over the application tip again, knock it down, and pull it out.
The operation required at this time is only a linear movement, so it is extremely simple, and once you get used to the operation, you can insert and knock the cylindrical body into the cap almost simultaneously with one movement (one touch). Therefore, makeup can be applied extremely quickly, and since there is no discomfort when sliding on the fingertips, it is suitable for continuously pressing the knob cover if necessary. Despite having such excellent operability, the powder container with a retractable tip of the present invention has the advantage that the cosmetic holding portion has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost with a small number of parts.
