Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an agent application tool used for applying various kinds of agents, for example, hair dyes such as color rinse and hair nail polish, or styling agents to hair.

[0002]

In the past, when applying a hair dye or the like to hair, it was necessary to separate an appropriate amount by squeezing the agent from a tube into a dedicated brush. However, such work is troublesome and inconvenient. Therefore, in order to eliminate the above drawbacks, a container containing the agent,
An agent application tool has been conceived in which a brush portion having a large number of comb teeth is integrated and the agent is directly discharged from the comb teeth. As an example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-19923, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-33903, or Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 46604.

However, in these agent applying tools, the agent is to be discharged from the middle of the comb tooth, so that the agent guide path must be formed inside the comb tooth. Therefore, the manufacturing process is complicated and the cost is high. As a different form from the above-mentioned agent applying tool, there is an agent applying tool (registered utility model publication No. 3008926) in which the agent is discharged from the root of the comb tooth. Unlike the above-mentioned agent application tools, this agent application tool has no agent guide path inside the comb teeth, so that the manufacturing process can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

However, in such an agent application tool, the scattering of the agent that occurs when air mixes with the agent in the base agent guide passage becomes more severe. That is, in the agent applying tool for ejecting the agent from the middle of the comb tooth, even if the agent is vigorously ejected, it first collides with the surface of the opposing comb tooth, and therefore the degree of scattering can be ignored. On the other hand, with the agent application tool that discharges the agent from the root of the comb tooth, when the agent is ejected vigorously, there is nothing to block it, so it easily scatters in a wide range and stains hands and clothes. It may happen.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an agent application tool in which the agent is less likely to be scattered.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]
An agent application tool comprising a comb tooth standing upright along the longitudinal direction of the base and an agent discharge hole provided on the root side of the comb tooth, the agent applying tool facing the agent discharge hole. The solution application tool is characterized in that a deenergizing means for reducing the force of the ejected agent is provided at the position where the agent is applied.

In particular, a base portion having an approximately U-shaped cross section with an agent guiding groove formed on the inner surface side, a base plate, a plurality of comb teeth standing on the base plate along its longitudinal direction, and the base plate A comb toothed body provided with a plurality of fitting projections having agent guiding paths, which are provided corresponding to the comb teeth on the surface opposite to the surface on which the comb teeth are erected, In a state in which the comb tooth coupling body is attached to the base portion, the fitting convex portion and the agent guiding groove are fitted to each other, and an agent discharge hole is formed between the fitting portions, and the agent is The agent discharged from the discharge hole collides with the inner surfaces of the base portion facing each other to reduce the momentum, which is solved by the agent applying tool.

[0008] Further, a base portion having an approximately U-shaped cross section with an agent guiding groove formed on the inner surface side, a base plate, a plurality of comb teeth standing on the base plate along its longitudinal direction, and the base plate. A comb tooth connecting body provided with a long fitting projection provided along the longitudinal direction of the base plate on a surface opposite to the surface on which the comb teeth are erected, and the comb is provided on the base portion. In a state where the tooth connecting body is attached, an agent guide path is formed between the end surface of the fitting convex portion and the bottom surface of the agent guide groove, and the agent guide groove is formed at an interval corresponding to the comb tooth. A concave portion is formed, and the fitting convex portion and a portion of the agent guiding groove in which the concave portion is not formed are fitted to each other, and the concave portion existing between the fitted portions causes the agent discharge hole. Are formed, and The discharged material is to collide with the opposed inner surface of the face provided with the fitting protrusion of the base plate and the base, is solved by the features that the application tool by being configured such that momentum is diminished.

In the above-mentioned agent applying tool, it is preferable that barriers are provided on the inner surfaces of the base opening facing each other so as to reduce the force of the discharged agent. This makes it possible to more effectively suppress the scattering of the agent. Further, the above-mentioned problem is that a base portion in which an agent distribution chamber is formed, a plurality of comb teeth erected on the base portion along the longitudinal direction thereof,
It is characterized by comprising an agent discharge hole provided in the base portion and connected to the agent distribution chamber, and a depressurizing member which is located at a position facing the agent discharge hole and reduces the force of the discharged agent. It is solved by the agent application tool.

In the agent applying tool provided with the depressing member, the comb teeth are integrally connected by the depressing member,
The comb-teeth connecting body including the comb teeth and the depressurizing member can be configured to be detachable from the base portion. Further, the comb teeth are integrally provided on the base portion, and the depressing member is separate from the comb tooth, and the depressing member has a hole for inserting the comb tooth corresponding to the comb tooth interval. Can be formed.

Further, the comb tooth is integrally provided on the base portion, and the depressing member is separate from the comb tooth, and the depressing member has a notch having an opening on the side thereof. The teeth may be formed so as to correspond to the distance between the teeth, and a recess may be formed at the root portion of the comb tooth so that the comb tooth can lock the depressing member. In addition, the above-mentioned deenergizing member can be composed of a lattice material having a mesh smaller than that of the agent discharge hole.

That is, in the agent applying tool of the present invention, as described above, since the depressing means is provided at the position facing the agent discharging hole, the depressing means reduces the force of the discharged agent. Therefore, when using the agent application tool,
Even if air is mixed in the agent in the agent guiding groove, and the agent is vigorously ejected from the agent ejection hole, it is possible to suppress the scattering. For example, in the case where a plurality of comb teeth are erected along the longitudinal direction of the base plate to form a comb tooth connection, mainly the inner surfaces of the base plate that sandwiches the base plate and the comb tooth connection function to counteract the force of the agent. However, as a result, the scattering of the agent is suppressed, and the hands and clothes are less likely to be soiled.

The base portion is provided with comb teeth standing upright along the longitudinal direction thereof, and agent discharge holes provided on the root side of the comb teeth, and the agent discharge holes are provided at positions facing the agent discharge holes. It is provided with a de-energizing means for reducing the momentum.

FIGS. 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of the agent applying tool according to the present invention. 1 is an overall view of the agent applying tool, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main part (brush part) of the agent applying tool, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a comb tooth connecting body that constitutes the brush part, and FIG. A front view, FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view of the brush portion, and FIG. 6 is a lateral sectional view of the brush portion between the comb teeth. In each figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a container for containing the agent, which also serves as a handle in the agent application tool of the present embodiment. Reference numeral 2 denotes a brush portion attached to the container 1, and a tube 3 is arranged inside the brush portion. The tube 3 extends to the vicinity of the bottom surface of the container 1, and when the container 1 is pressed, the agent contained therein is supplied to the brush portion 2 through the tube 3.

The brush portion 2 is composed of a comb tooth connecting body 4 and a base portion 5 having a substantially U-shaped cross section as can be seen from FIG. The comb-teeth connecting body 4 is obtained by integral molding, and is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the base plate 6 having a uniform width is provided with a plurality of comb teeth 7 standing along the longitudinal direction thereof. A plurality of fitting projections 8 are provided on the back surface of the base plate 6 (the surface opposite to the surface on which the comb teeth 7 are provided upright). The fitting convex portion 8 is composed of two plates having the same shape. In the agent applying tool of the present embodiment, the gap 8a existing between the two plates causes the agent to move in the longitudinal direction of the comb-teeth coupling body 4. It acts as a drug guideway that guides along.

The base 5 is separate from the comb-teeth connecting body 4 and has a substantially U-shaped cross section as described above. Therefore, the comb-teeth coupling body 4 is attached to the base portion 6 as if it were sandwiched between the base portions 6. Reference numeral 9 denotes an agent guiding groove formed on the innermost side of the base portion 5 and 10a and 10b denote barriers. These barriers 10a and 10b are continuously provided in the vertical direction as shown in FIG.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the agent guiding groove 9 is fitted with a part of each fitting convex portion 8. Therefore, the space from the agent guiding groove 9 to the space on the base plate 6 side is the portion between the fitting protrusions 8 (see FIG. 5).

Further, in the present embodiment, the deenergizing means for reducing the momentum of the discharged agent is mainly the base plate 6 and the inner surface 5 of the base portion 5 facing each other.
a, 5b, and barriers 10a, 10b.

In the agent applying tool constructed as described above,
When the container 1 is pressed to discharge the agent from the inside, the discharged agent is guided to the tube 3 and the agent guide groove 9 of the base 5 is introduced.
Sent to. Then, the fitting convex portion 8 which is the agent guiding path
The agent is guided in the longitudinal direction of the comb tooth-connected body 4 through the gap 8a. At the same time, the agent overflowing from the agent guide groove 9 reaches the application surface of the comb tooth 7 along the path indicated by the arrow in FIG. More specifically, the agent first flows into the space between the side end surface of the base plate 6 and the opposing inner surfaces 5a and 5b of the base 5 through the agent discharge hole C. Then, it reaches the application surface of the comb tooth 7 through the gap between the base plate 6 and the barriers 10a and 10b.

As described above, in the agent applying tool of this embodiment,
Through a complex path where the agent can bend its course many times,
Since it reaches the application surface of the comb tooth 7, the momentum of the agent is diminished in the process. That is, the momentum of the ejected agent is canceled by colliding with the opposing inner surfaces 5a and 5b of the base plate 6 and the base 5, and further against the barriers 10a and 10b. Therefore, even if air is mixed in the agent in the agent guide groove 9, the agent is suppressed from scattering and the hands and clothes are prevented from being soiled at the time of application.

7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the agent applying tool according to the present invention. 7 is a perspective view of the comb tooth assembly, FIG. 8 is a front view of the base portion, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the brush portion between the comb teeth. In the agent applying tool of the second embodiment, the basic technical idea is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the shapes of the comb tooth connecting body 11 and the base portion 12 (particularly the agent guiding groove 13) are the first. This is different from the embodiment.

That is, regarding the agent applying tool of the second embodiment, as in the case of the first embodiment, the comb tooth connecting body 1 is used.
1 includes a plurality of comb teeth 14, a base plate 15, and a fitting convex portion 16. However, the fitting convex portion 16 is a long continuous body as can be seen from FIG. 7. Further, in the first embodiment, the fitting protrusion is composed of two plates, but in the second embodiment, it is a single plate.

Further, in the second embodiment, the comb tooth connecting body 1 is used.
When 1 is attached to the base portion 12, the height dimension of the fitting convex portion 16 is reduced so that a gap is formed between the end surface of the fitting convex portion 16 and the bottom surface of the agent guiding groove 13. In the agent applying tool of the present embodiment, this gap serves as an agent guide path for guiding the agent in the longitudinal direction of the comb tooth coupling body 11. Instead of the comb-teeth coupling body 11 having the above-described configuration, the agent guide groove 13 of the base 12 has a shape in which irregularities are alternately repeated at intervals corresponding to the comb teeth 14, as shown in FIG. And
The concave portions 17a and 17b have the same function as the discontinuous fitting convex portion in the first embodiment, that is, in the agent applying tool of the second embodiment, the concave portions 17a and 17b become the agent discharge holes. .

The state in which the comb tooth coupling body 11 is attached to the base portion 12 is as shown in FIG. In this state, the fitting convex portion 16 and the concave portions 17a and 17b in the agent guiding groove 13 are formed.
It is fitted with the part where is not formed. The agent discharged from the recesses 17a and 17b existing between the fitting portions flows in the path indicated by the arrow in the figure and is supplied to the application surface of the comb tooth 14. At this time, the momentum of the agent is reduced by colliding with the inner surfaces 12a and 12b of the base plate 15 and the base portion 12 which face each other.

FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show a third embodiment of the agent applying tool according to the present invention. 10 is a perspective view of the brush portion, and FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the comb-teeth connecting body removed from the base portion. In FIGS. 10 and 11, reference numeral 18 is a base portion, and 19 is a comb-teeth connecting body that constitutes a brush portion together with the base portion 18.

An agent distribution chamber (not shown) is provided inside the base portion 18.
The agent sent to this agent distribution chamber is
The material is discharged to the outside through the agent discharge hole 20 formed in the belly of the base portion 18 (the surface on the side where the comb tooth coupling body 19 is attached). In addition, a concave portion 21 is formed on the antinode of the base portion 18. A root portion of a comb-shaped toothed body 19 described later fits into the recess 21.

The comb tooth connecting body 19 is obtained by integral molding, and is composed of a plurality of comb teeth 22, a lattice-shaped damping portion 23 connecting them, and a root portion 24. In addition, in the root portion 24, the one located at the upper end in FIG. 11 is formed with a hooking convex portion 24a at the tip. Further, the one located at the upper end of the concave portion 21 is the convex portion 24.
Corresponding to a, the cross-sectional shape is recessed downward.

The size of the grid of the deenergizing unit 23 is
It is smaller than the diameter of the agent discharge hole 20. Therefore, the force of the agent discharged from the agent discharge hole 20 is attenuated while passing through the small eyes of the depressurizing portion 23. Therefore, even if air is mixed in the agent in the base portion 18, the agent is suppressed from scattering. 12 and 13 show a fourth embodiment of the agent applying tool according to the present invention. 12 is a perspective view of the brush portion, and FIG.
[Fig. 3] is a perspective view showing a state in which a damping plate is removed from a brush main body.

In FIGS. 12 and 13, reference numeral 25 denotes a brush portion main body, which is composed of a base portion 26 and a plurality of comb teeth 27 integrally provided on the base portion 26 along the longitudinal direction thereof. Similar to the third embodiment, the base portion 26 has an internal agent distribution chamber, and the agent sent to the agent distribution chamber is
It is adapted to be discharged to the outside through a hole 28 formed in the belly of the base portion 26.

Reference numeral 29 designates a depressurizing plate, and holes 30 (though not the upper ones are not holes at the upper end) are formed at positions corresponding to the intervals between the comb teeth 27 so that the comb teeth 27 can be inserted therethrough. With this structure, the damping plate 29 can be attached to and detached from the brush main body 25 as shown in FIG.
Also in the agent applying tool of the fourth embodiment, the size of the grid of the damping plate 29 is smaller than the diameter of the agent discharge hole 28. Therefore, the force of the agent discharged from the agent discharge hole 28 is reduced while passing the eyes of the depressurizing plate 29, and the agent is suppressed from scattering.

14 and 15 show a fifth embodiment of the agent applying tool according to the present invention. Note that FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the brush portion, and FIG. 15 is a perspective view in a state in which the damping plate is removed from the brush portion main body. The agent applying tool of the fifth embodiment is basically the same as that of the fourth embodiment, but is characterized in that the damping plate 31 can be pulled out from the side of the brush portion main body 32. That is, the damping plate 31 has
A notch 33 having an opening on the side is formed corresponding to the interval between the comb teeth 34. Further, a concave portion 34a is formed at the root portion of the comb tooth 34 so that the damping plate 31 can be hooked.

With such a structure, the agent applying tool of this embodiment exhibits the same effects as those of the third and fourth embodiments, and the damping plate 31 can be securely fixed. There is no problem that the depressurizing plate 31 is disengaged from the brush main body 32 due to the discharge pressure. The agent application tool of the present invention has been specifically described above with reference to the drawings, but the overall configuration and detailed configuration thereof are not limited to the above embodiment, and can be changed as appropriate.

For example, in the first embodiment described above, the case where the squeeze container is combined is described, but an aerosol container may be used instead. Further, even when combined with the same squeeze type container, not only a so-called dip tube-equipped container in which the tube is extended to the vicinity of the bottom surface of the container but also a container having no tube can be used.

Further, it is not necessary that all the agent discharge holes have the same size, and the size can be appropriately changed so that the agent can be uniformly supplied to all the comb teeth.

[0034]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Since the depressing means for diminishing the force of the agent is interposed in the route until the agent reaches the application surface of the comb tooth,
It is possible to suppress the scattering of the agent due to the inclusion of air, and to reduce the adhesion to the face and clothes.
