Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To scrape off cosmetics stuck on the inner surface and slope of a container opening part even when the length of a screw part is not enough by attaching a scraping member to an applying rod of which the applying part is attached to its top end, and providing two elastically deformable scrape parts at the scraping member. SOLUTION: A scraping member 6 formed of a soft elastic material is fixed to an applying rod 5 of which an applying part 4 is attached to its top end. The scraping member 6 is provided with two scraping parts of 1st and 2nd scraping parts 6a and 6b and both two scraping parts have the cylindrical form of opening part or the ring-shaped form along the cross-sectional circular form of the slope. The 1st scraping part 6a is positioned at the top end part of the scraping part 6a and in contact with the inner surface of a cylindrical part 10 of a squeeze member 3 fixed on the inner surface of a container opening part 2, the cosmetics stuck on the inner surface are scraped off. The 2nd scraping part 6b is positioned at the rear end part of the scraping member and in contact with a slope 8 at the outer end of the opening part, the cosmetics stuck on the slope are scraped off.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid cosmetic container provided with a stain preventing mechanism for preventing the cosmetic from adhering to the container mouth and the shaft of the applicator during use and becoming dirty.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Liquid cosmetic containers, such as mascara and eyeliners, having a stain prevention mechanism for preventing the cosmetic from adhering to the container mouth and the shaft of the applicator during use have been known. It is. FIG. 6 shows an example of a liquid cosmetic container provided with such a stain prevention mechanism. Referring to FIG. 6, the container body for cosmetics (1) is provided with a squeeze member (4) for adjusting an appropriate amount of the cosmetic adhered to the application part (3) at the mouth (2).
A scraping member (6) having an elastically deformable scraping portion (6a) for scraping the cosmetic adhered to the inner surface of the mouth portion (2) into the container is provided on the application shaft (5) supporting the (3). Is fixed. The cosmetic adhered to the inner surface of the mouth is scraped off at the scraping portion (6a) when the application shaft is inserted into the container.

However, the contact between the scraping portion and the inner surface of the mouth causes a large resistance when the application shaft is inserted into the container. Therefore, the cap (9) to which the application shaft is fixed and the outer surface of the container mouth are connected. The application shaft is inserted into the container while the scraping portion is brought into contact with the inner surface of the mouth portion by using the torque of the screw (7) to oppose the resistance force. Therefore, the screw part (7) needs to be long enough to correspond to the length of the inner surface of the mouth, but in practice, the screw part cannot be made long enough due to restrictions on the design of the container. There is. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the outer end of the mouth (2) is formed on the slope (8) so as to prevent the scraped portion from coming into contact with the inner surface of the mouth early. For this reason, the cosmetics adhered to the slope (8) could not be scraped off, and there was a disadvantage that the mouth of the container mouth gradually became dirty.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention effectively scrapes both the cosmetics adhered to the inner surface of the container mouth and the cosmetics adhered to the slope even when the length of the screw portion is not sufficient. They want to be able to drop it.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a means adopted by the present invention is to dispose an appropriate amount of cosmetics adhering to an application portion in a mouth portion of a container, arrange a squeegee member extremely, and place the application portion at the tip. A scraping member is attached to the applied application shaft, and the scraping member is provided with two elastically deforming scraping portions. The first scraping portion can scrape off the cosmetics attached to the inner peripheral surface of the container opening, The scraping portion 2 is characterized in that the cosmetics attached to the slope formed at the outer end of the container mouth can be scraped off.

[0006] Further, the first scraping portion is characterized in that it reaches at least a position of a sword member arranged in the container mouth.

Further, the invention is characterized in that the first scraping portion reaches a position over the sword member disposed in the container mouth.

Further, the second scraping portion has an outer diameter at least equal to the maximum inner diameter of the slope.

Further, the second scraping portion is formed so as to be located inward from the inner end of the slope by a distance commensurate with the amount of elastic deformation thereof.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a mouth member (2) of a container body (1) is provided with a sword member (3) as in the prior art.
Is attached, so that the amount of the cosmetic adhered to the application section (4) can be reduced to an appropriate amount. The sword member (3) is formed of a soft elastic material such as rubber or polyethylene. Coating part (4)
May be any of a spiral brush, a brush, a tip, and the like. The coating unit (4) is connected to a cap (9) via a coating shaft (5), and the cap (9) is detachably screwed to an outer surface of the container opening (2) with a screw (7). You. In the illustrated structure, the sword member (3) has a cylindrical portion (10) that forms the inner surface of the container mouth (2), and the outer end of the cylindrical portion (10) has a slope.
(8). However, it is a matter of course that the container mouth portion need not be covered with the cylindrical portion of the sword member. In this case, the outer end of the container mouth portion (2) is inclined.

An application shaft (5) having an application section (4) attached to the tip.
A scraping member (6) formed of a soft elastic material such as rubber or polyethylene is fixed on the surface. The scraping member (6)
It has two scraping portions, a first scraping portion (6a) and a second scraping portion (6b), and both of these two scraping portions are rings that follow the cylindrical shape of the mouth or the circular cross-sectional shape of the slope. Shape. The first scraping portion (6a) is located at the tip of the scraping portion (6), that is, on the inner side of the container, and has a container opening portion.
The cosmetics adhered to the inner surface of the cylindrical portion (10) of the sword stick member (3) fixed to the inner surface of (2) can be scraped off. The second scraping portion (6b) is located at the rear end of the scraping member, that is, on the outer side of the container, and comes into contact with the slope (8) at the outer end of the mouth and adheres to the slope. Can be scraped off.

The first scraping portion (6a) has an outer diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the mouth portion (2), and is capable of elastically contacting the inner peripheral surface of the mouth portion and scraping off the cosmetics adhering thereto. When the cap (9) is completely closed to the mouth (2), the cap (9) is positioned so as to reach at least the position of the squeeze part (3). Also, the second scraping portion (6b) has a slightly larger or at least the same outer diameter as the maximum diameter of the slope (8), and when the cap (9) is in the closed position, as shown in FIG. The tip of the second scraping portion elastically deformed at least reaches the inner end of the slope. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, the second scraped portion (6b) has a slope (8).
Is located inward from the inner end by a distance corresponding to the amount of elastic deformation (a) at the tip.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the first scraping portion (6a) is positioned so as to reach the outside of the sword portion (3), but as shown in FIG. It goes without saying that it may be positioned so as to get over the inside of the squeezing part (3) after getting over.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the cosmetics adhering to both the inner peripheral surface of the container mouth and the slope formed at the outer end are effectively scraped off, and the mouth of the container mouth becomes dirty. Can be prevented.
