And FIGS. 6 and 7 are configuration diagrams of assembled status of this invention shown in FIG. 1. And FIGS. 8 and 8 illustrate the operation of the embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 8, this invention has an elastic tube(10) that stores nail polish, is compressed by external force, restores elasticity when external force is removed, and has a joint(11) extending to the bottom; a tube shape internal and external connector that makes the neck(41) of the container(40) to be screwed on by inserting the module type brush rod(200), which consists of the joint of elastic tube(10) and elastic liquid cutoff device(100), into the inside and outside of connector(20,25) by using the female and male undercut(22,23) and aligning the neck(41) of the container(40) at the top and bottom of the middle hole(21).
And a module type brush rod(200) that joins the joint(39 a, 39 b), which is extended and bended toward the inside and outside of brush support(30 a. 30 b), is fixed as it is inserted into the bottom parts of the joint(11) and the joint(27), forms a tapered outlet toward the bottom, forms receiving groove(32) at the center of outlet(31 b) by inserting the elastic liquid cutoff device(100) in the inside of receiving groove(35) of module type brush, which consists of elastic support(51 a), elastic support spring(51 b), liquid cutoff plate(53), liquid cutoff projection(52), and elastic body fixing projection(55), when the joint(13) of the cap(15) is inserted into the joint(12) of the elastic tube(10) and the joint(11) of the elastic tube(10) is inserted into the top part of the connector.;
And a tube shape module type brush rod(300) of the module type brush outlet that inserts the outlet pin(60) with outlet(42,43) into the module type outlet hole brush(70) with outlet hole and inserting the outlet pin(60) into the outlet(44);
And a container(40) that stores nail polish and prevents it from getting hardened and whose bottle neck(41) is screwed on the connector(20); and a liquid cutoff device(100) that is located in the elastic tube(10), performs the buffering function when external force is exerted, and stops the supply of nail polish to the brush(34) temporarily.
And the elastic tube(10) has a cap that extends the joint(12) with the thread at the top and is screwed on it.
And a band type liquid cutoff device(100) that has a ring structure and is compressed by air pressure and liquid pressure and restores elasticity when the pressure is removed and has an elastic liquid cutoff device(100), an elastic support(51 a), and an elastic support spring(51 b) vertically in the joint(39 a. 39 b) that is projected on the surface of module type brush rod(200),
And a liquid cutoff projection(52) that projects and extends from the bottom center, an elastic body fixing projection(55) and a liquid cutoff pressure plate(53) at the center of the liquid cutoff device(100).
It is desirable for the liquid cutoff device(100) to be a rotary type where several elastic supports are arranged in a cross or a radial shape, or the elasticity support has a separate spring.
The elastic tube(10) shows elasticity characteristics as it ejects nail polish stored inside when it is compressed by external force, and it is desirable for it to be made of synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber, silicone, or nylon.
The elastic support(51 a), elastic spring(51 b), and elastic liquid cutoff device(100) show elasticity characteristic as they stop the flow of nail polish stored in the elastic tube to the brush when they are compressed by air pressure and external force, and it is desirable for them to be made of synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber, plastic, silicone, nylon, or elastic metal material.
The operation of the nail polish container is as follows.
First, hold and rotate the connector(20) to unscrew the container(40). Then the elastic tube(10) that stores nail polish and the container(40) are separated.
At the time, nail polish is ejected while the module type brush is immersed in nail polish as the outlet pin(60) with outlet(42,43) is inserted into the module type outlet brush(70) with the outlet hole(44), which is joined to the module type brush(300) and outlet pin(60) is inserted into the outlet hole(44), or the module type brush rod(200) is immersed in the container(40). Therefore, the brush is covered with nail polish. Leave appropriate amount of nail polish on the brush(34) by shaking off a few times at the rim of the container(40). And hold and press the elastic tube(10) with fingers, then nail polish flows through the interior of the brush(34) through the outlet (31 a. 31 b. 31 c) and outlet(42,43) of the module type brush rod(200) because of the external force and enters into the brush(34) and nail polish is automatically supplied to the brush(34).
When the elastic tube(10) is pressed, the elastic support(51 a), elastic spring(51 b) and elastic liquid cutoff device(100) perform buffering function so that too much nail polish is not ejected even though strong force is exerted. Moreover, as the outlet(31 a) of the brush support(30 b) is tapered, abrupt ejection is prevented and it is easy to deal with different pressure on the elastic tube(10).
According to the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 9, the liquid cutoff device(100) pressurized by the air in the elastic tube(10) and the pushing force of the liquid stops the ejection passage as the elastic support(51 a) is compressed and its length is extended, and the liquid cutoff projection(52) is inserted into the outlet(31 a) of brush support(30 b) and joined to the liquid cutoff projection(52) and receiving groove(35) as it consists of elastic support spring(51 b), and stops the ejection passage as the elastic support spring(51 b) is compressed and elongated and the liquid cutoff projection(52) that is extended and projected at the bottom is inserted into the outlet(31 a) of brush support(30 b).
This invention induces automatic supply of nail polish by pressurizing the elastic tube(10). And a certain amount of nail polish is supplied to the center of the interior of brush(34) by stopping the flow of nail polish temporarily by interlocking the liquid cutoff device(100) using the air inside and the force of liquid. And the user can apply the nail polish on the nails of the fingers or toes with the brush(34).
And the brush(34) gets to be immersed in the nail polish stored in the container(40) after the connector(20) is screwed on the container(40) to prevent the brush(34) from getting hardened and to preserve the nail polish.
This invention enables automatic supply of nail polish by using the pressurization of elastic tube(10) and stopping the flow of nail polish through the pressurization of elastic tube(10) along with the buffering action due to the force of inside air and liquid in the elastic tube(10) using the liquid cutoff device(100) and stops too much nail polish from being ejected to the center of the interior of the brush(34) and allows a certain amount of nail polish to be supplied.
In other words, this invention enables the control of nail polish supply by using the elastic tube and module type brush(300) and the liquid cutoff device(100) located inside the module type brush rod(200).
An embodiment of this invention is explained in detail but it is possible for anyone with the general knowledge in this area can make variations of this invention within the limit of this invention.
Therefore, the scope of this invention is not limited to the embodiment explained in detail above and similar category should be decided based on the technical aspect of claim to be discussed below.
