Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a powder supply tool capable of supplying a small amount of cosmetic powder stored in a storage chamber of a main body to an application body.

(Prior Art) As a powder feeder related to the above, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-2494, an external pressure is applied to the powder by shrinking the containing portion containing the powder, and the puff is performed from the through hole. It is known to drop the powder into the body and discharge the dropped powder to the outside through an opening.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the structure described above, when the containing portion is contracted,
Although it is possible to suppress the amount of powder falling into the puff body through the through holes, it is still possible that a large amount of powder may fall into the puff body and be discharged to the outside depending on how the shrinkage is adjusted. easy.

Therefore, the present invention is to provide a powder supply tool capable of surely supplying a small amount of powder stored in a storage chamber of a main body to an application body.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention provides an applicator that holds powder and can be discharged to the outside, in an opening of a main body having a storage chamber for storing powder.
An outlet pipe having a lead-out hole on the wall surface is inserted into the storage chamber so that its front end faces the rear side of the applicator body, and an air chamber communicating with the outside by a closable hole at the rear portion of the lead-out pipe. A gist of the present invention is a powder supply tool having a compression part made of an elastically recoverable wall material, which has an inside thereof and is continuously provided.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on examples.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a tubular main body having a storage chamber 2 for storing various powders for makeup. Reference numeral 3 denotes an applicator attached to the opening 4 of the main body 1, and the applicator 3 holds the powder stored in the storage chamber 2 and can be discharged to the outside. It is appropriately selected from a focusing body, a sponge and the like. Reference numeral 5 denotes a lead-out pipe that is inserted into the center of the storage chamber 2 and fixedly arranged in the main body 1 with its front end opening 5a facing the rear side of the coating body 3. A plurality of lead-out holes 6 that allow the storage chamber 2 and the applicator body 3 to communicate with each other are formed. Reference numeral 7 denotes an elastically recoverable compression portion formed integrally with the rear portion of the lead-out pipe 5, the compression portion 7 having an air chamber communicating with the outside through a hole 8 and closing the hole 8 with a fingertip. Then, the compression portion 7 is compressed against the elasticity so that air can be sent into the outlet pipe 5. In the illustrated example, the bellows-shaped one is shown as the compression part 7, but as shown in FIG. 2, the compression part 7 is composed of an elastic portion having a semicircular longitudinal section.
Also good.

Next, the powder supplying operation in the above-mentioned embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

When the powder stored in the storage chamber 2 is supplied to the coating body 3, first, the hole 8 of the compression portion 7 protruding from the rear portion of the main body 1 is closed with a fingertip and the compression portion 7 is pressed and compressed to lead out the pipe 5. Send air into the inside. Due to this air feeding, a leftward air flow is generated in the discharge pipe 5, and thus the powder in the storage chamber 2 is drawn out into the discharge pipe 5 from the discharge hole 6, and rides on the flow to the leftward direction. Move and apply 3
Will be supplied to. Release the compression of the compression part 7,
If the fingertip is released further, the lead-out pipe 5 communicates with the outside air, so that the air flow is stopped and the powder is not pulled out.

The above-described supply of powder can be performed in the same manner as long as at least one lead-out hole 6 is formed in the lead-out pipe 5.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the present invention, air is sent into the lead-out pipe by compressing the compression portion at the rear part of the main body, and the powder in the storage chamber is introduced into the lead-out pipe from the lead-out hole by the air. Since it can be pulled out and moved, the powder stored in the storage chamber can be reliably supplied to the applicator in small amounts by a simple operation of pressing the compression portion.
