The present invention also provides an application tool in which the above-mentioned cap with a comb is attached to a container containing an application liquid.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent components.
[0012]
FIG. 1A is a partial perspective view of an application tool according to an embodiment of the present invention in which the comb cap 10A according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the squeeze container 1, and FIGS. Are cross-sectional views of the cap with comb 10A.
[0013]
The cap 10A with a comb includes a cap portion 20 which is screwed to a mouth of a container 1 containing a coating liquid such as a squeeze container, and a plurality of plate-like comb teeth 31 standing on a top surface 21 of the cap portion 20. Are composed of the comb teeth portions 30 arranged in the thickness direction of the plate-like comb teeth 31.
[0014]
In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A, a plate-shaped comb tooth is a comb tooth made of a plate-shaped high-rigidity material whose area in the width direction is sufficiently larger than its thickness.
[0015]
The plate-shaped comb teeth 31 are formed with a liquid passage 32 for the application liquid, which communicates with the inside of the container 1. One end of the liquid passage 32 is opened at the tip of the plate-shaped comb tooth 31 as a coating liquid discharge hole 33, and the opening surface is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped comb tooth 31. By forming the discharge holes 33 on the opposing surfaces of the adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31 in this manner, when the object to be coated such as hair is combed by the plate-shaped comb teeth 31, the coating liquid can be efficiently applied to the object to be coated. In addition, when the container 1 is temporarily erected during application, the application liquid adhering to the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 can be efficiently stored in the liquid receiving portion 38. Can be.
[0016]
The liquid receiving portion has a characteristic configuration of the cap with comb 10A, and has a central portion recessed with respect to the edge side of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 on the base surface 37 of the comb teeth between the adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31. It was not. Thereby, while the coating liquid is applied in the container 1 to which the cap with comb 10A is attached, even if the container 1 is temporarily left standing for a while after erecting, the coating liquid adhering to the surface of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 Since the liquid accumulates in the liquid receiving portion 38 as indicated by the arrow P, it is possible to prevent the liquid from dripping on the side surface of the container 1. Furthermore, when the application liquid is applied again using the cap with comb 10A after the application liquid has accumulated in the liquid receiving section 38, the application liquid accumulated in the liquid receiving section 38 can be applied to the object to be applied such as hair. The waste of the coating solution can be eliminated.
[0017]
Here, when the height L1 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 from the top surface 21 of the cap portion 20 is 30 to 40 mm, the height L2 of the side wall 39 of the liquid receiving portion 38 from the top surface 21 of the cap portion 20 is set. Is preferably 10 to 20 mm, and the depth L3 of the liquid receiving portion 38 is preferably 3 to 10 mm from the viewpoint of preventing dripping and improving combability. If the depth L3 of the liquid receiving portion 38 is too small, dripping cannot be effectively prevented, and if it is too deep, the accumulated coating liquid may not be easily discharged. On the other hand, if the height L2 of the side wall 39 of the liquid receiving portion 38 is too high, the length of the tip portion of the comb teeth required by L1-L2 becomes short, and the function as a comb for wiping or separating hair is reduced. Conversely, if it is too low, the depth L3 of the liquid receiving portion 38 cannot be sufficiently secured.
[0018]
The width L4, thickness L5, and interval L6 of the central portion of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 are not particularly limited, and are, for example, 10 to 20 mm in width L4, 1 to 3 mm in thickness L5, and 1 to 3 mm in interval L6.
[0019]
Also, on the top surface 21 of the cap portion 20 of the cap with comb 10A, a ridge 22 having a height L71 of 1 to 5 mm surrounding the comb tooth portion 30 is formed. Without the ridges 22, a small amount of liquid dripping along the edge of the plate-shaped comb tooth 31 as shown by the arrow Q cannot be prevented from reaching the side surface of the container 1, but by providing the ridges 22, In addition, it is possible to prevent the dripping of the liquid on the side surface of the container 1.

FIG. 2A is a perspective view of a comb cap 10B according to a different embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2B and 2C are cross-sectional views of the comb cap 10B. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one plate-shaped comb tooth 31 forming the comb tooth portion 30 of the cap with comb 10B.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 3, in the cap with comb 10B, the plate-shaped comb teeth portion 31 is thinner in a region on the tip side than the discharge hole 33, and the discharge hole 33 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped comb tooth 31. It has an opening surface perpendicular to the direction.
[0022]
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a rib 40 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed on the opposing surface of the adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31. Since the surface area of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 is increased by the ribs 40 and the agent holding property between the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 is improved, it is possible to sufficiently spread the coating solution onto the object to be coated such as hair and uniformly apply the coating solution. It will be easier. In addition, when the container 1 is erected, the ribs 40 can efficiently guide the coating liquid adhering to the surface of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 to the liquid receiving portion 38.
[0023]
