Description

The present invention relates to a cartridge-type stick cosmetic dispenser that allows replaceable stick cosmetics such as lipstick, lip liner, and lip balm, as well as its cartridge and cartridge case.

Conventionally, a container for dispensing stick-shaped cosmetics, such as lipstick, lip liner, and lip cream, which stores stick-shaped cosmetics and slides up and down by a dispensing mechanism, is known in which the inner tray that stores the stick-shaped cosmetics and slides up and down by the dispensing mechanism is divided into a receiving tube that holds the stick-shaped cosmetics and a holding tube that slides up and down by the dispensing mechanism, and the holding tube and the receiving tube are detachably connected. As described in Patent Document 1, this container with a double inner tray type can be made into a cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetics dispensing container, in which the stick-shaped cosmetics and the receiving tube are replaceable as a cartridge.

The stick-shaped cosmetic and the fitting tube were stored separately from the container, and the fitting tube was set into the container body as needed to complete the container for dispensing the stick-shaped cosmetic. Also, when the stick-shaped cosmetic and the fitting tube were combined into a cartridge, the cartridge was stored in a cartridge case to prevent the stick-shaped cosmetic from soiling other areas or damaging the stick-shaped cosmetic. Moreover, by using this cartridge case, it was also possible to attach the cartridge without touching the stick-shaped cosmetic.

Because the stick cosmetic and the storage tube are stored separately, they are smaller than when stored in a container, allowing for a reduction in inventory storage space. If the stick cosmetic is defective or if the stick cosmetic is used up, only the storage tube needs to be disposed of, reducing waste and disposal costs. In addition, if the storage tube is made into a cartridge, the container can be reused by replacing it with a new cartridge.

On the other hand, in addition to the configuration shown in Patent Document 1, in which the mechanism for dispensing the stick-shaped cosmetic is arranged around the stick-shaped cosmetic, a configuration shown in Patent Document 2 is also known in which the mechanism for dispensing the stick-shaped cosmetic is arranged below the stick-shaped cosmetic. The container shown in Patent Document 2 has a smaller outer diameter than the container shown in Patent Document 1. In addition, the container shown in Patent Document 2 contains the stick-shaped cosmetic directly inside the pipe-shaped sleeve of the container, making it suitable for containing soft and easily breakable stick-shaped cosmetics that are often used in recent years. The tip of the sleeve and the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic are often cut at an angle to make the stick-shaped cosmetic easier to apply.

Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-154819 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-181813

In the container shown in Patent Document 2, in which the dispensing mechanism is located below the stick-shaped cosmetic, the stick-shaped cosmetic is stored directly inside the pipe-shaped sleeve, so the clearance between the sleeve and the stick-shaped cosmetic is made as small as possible, and the stick-shaped cosmetic is held by the inner wall of the sleeve, making the soft stick-shaped cosmetic less likely to break. On the other hand, when using the double inner plate system to make the stick-shaped cosmetic and the storage tube into a cartridge, it is preferable to have a large clearance between the storage area of the sleeve and the stick-shaped cosmetic so as not to damage the stick-shaped cosmetic when the stick-shaped cosmetic and the storage tube are inserted and removed. In other words, repurposing the inner plate of the double inner plate system shown in Patent Document 1 for the stick-shaped cosmetic dispensing container shown in Patent Document 2 would be accompanied by difficulties such as balancing the protection of the stick-shaped cosmetic with the ease of mounting the cartridge. The present invention aims to provide a cartridge-type stick cosmetic product dispensing container in which the dispensing mechanism is located below the stick cosmetic product as shown in Patent Document 2, and in which the inner tray that holds the stick cosmetic product is made into a cartridge using a double inner tray system, and a cartridge case for the same.

Container B has a feeding mechanism B' arranged below the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 housed in the sleeve 4, which slides the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 up and down. The retaining rouge plate 2 that holds the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 is detachably attached to the receiving rouge plate 3 of container B, which slides up and down by the feeding mechanism B', to constitute a cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic feeding container in which the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 and the retaining rouge plate 2 form a cartridge A. The outer diameters of the receiving rouge plate 3 and the retaining rouge plate 2 are slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve 4, and a pair of gripping claws 314, 316 are erected on the upper surface of the receiving rouge plate 3, and the side of the retaining rouge plate 2 is provided with fitting portions 22, 23 that can be fitted between and overcome the gripping claws 314, 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 to connect the holding rouge plate 2 and the receiving rouge plate 3 together. When the receiving rouge plate 3 is at its upper limit, the gripping claws 314, 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 protrude from the tip of the sleeve 4, making the gripping claws 314, 316 deformable, allowing the gripping claws 314, 316 to fit into, overcome, and disengage from the fitting parts 22, 23 of the receiving rouge plate 3. Also, when the receiving rouge plate 3 is inside the sleeve 4, the gripping claws 314, 316 are prevented from deforming by the sleeve 4, making it impossible for the gripping claws 314, 316 to disengage from the fitting parts 22, 23 of the receiving rouge plate 3.

This cartridge A is housed in a cartridge case A' consisting of a temporary cap 10 and a red plate holder 9. A pair of holding recesses 24 are engraved on the side wall of the cartridge A other than the fitting portions 22, 23 of the holding red plate 2. The lower part of the red plate holder 9 of this cartridge case A' is an insertion portion 91 into which the tip of the sleeve 4 of the container B is fitted so as to be able to slide up and down. The upper part of the red plate holder 9 is a housing portion 92 that houses the holding red plate 2. A pair of engagement pieces 93 that can be deformed outward are cut out and molded on the side wall of this insertion portion 91. A holding engagement portion 931 that engages with the holding recess 24 of the holding red plate 2 and holds the holding red plate 2 in the red plate holder 9 is protruded on the inner wall of the tip of this engagement piece 93. The lower part of this holding engagement portion 931 is molded into a sloping cam surface 932. The temporary cap 10 of the cartridge case A' covers the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 of the cartridge A. When the red plate holder 9 is fitted to the tip of the sleeve 4, the retaining red plate 2 and the receiving middle plate 3 inside the red plate holder 9 engage together, and as the red plate holder 9 slides, the position of the retaining engagement part 931 relative to the retaining red plate 2 moves, and the cam surface 932 of this retaining engagement part 931 disengages from the retaining recess 24, abutting against the tip of the sleeve 4 and pushing the engagement piece 93 outward, releasing the engagement between the retaining red plate 2 and the red plate holder 9, and the engagement of the cartridge A is transferred from the cartridge case A' to the container B.

As described above, the present invention implements a cartridge mechanism using a double inner plate system in a stick-shaped cosmetic dispensing container B configured with a dispensing mechanism B' disposed below the stick-shaped cosmetic 1, and in order to achieve the opposing objectives of making cartridge A easy to insert and remove and protecting the stick-shaped cosmetic 1, the cartridge A replacement position is set at a position where the gripping claws 314, 316 of the receiving plate 3 protrude beyond the tip of the sleeve 4, making it easy to insert and remove cartridge A. At the same time, since cartridge A is inserted and removed at a position protruding beyond the sleeve 4 regardless of the sleeve 4, damage to the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 by the sleeve 4 can be prevented. Therefore, there is no need to provide a large clearance between the sleeve 4 and the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 for inserting and removing cartridge A, and the clearance can be set to the same as the optimal clearance of a stick-shaped cosmetic dispensing container configured with a dispensing mechanism B' disposed below the stick-shaped cosmetic 1. This makes it possible to protect the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 with the sleeve 4, makes it possible to store soft stick-shaped cosmetics 1, and makes it possible to make cartridges of soft, unbreakable stick-shaped cosmetics.

The cartridge A is housed in the cartridge case A' with the temporary cap 10 covering the stick-shaped cosmetic 1, and the retaining red plate 2 engaged and connected within the red plate holder 9, and is not exposed to the outside. To attach this cartridge A to the container B, the red plate holder 9 of the cartridge case A' is fitted to the tip of the sleeve 4 of the container B, and the retaining red plate 2 and the receiving red plate 3 of the cartridge A are engaged and connected. Then, when the red plate holder 9 is pressed down, the engagement and connection between the retaining red plate 2 and the red plate holder 9 is released, and the retention of the retaining red plate 2 is transferred from the red plate holder 9 to the container B. In other words, even for a cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic feeding container in which the cartridge mechanism using the double inner plate method is implemented in the container B in which the feeding mechanism B' is located below the stick-shaped cosmetic 1, the retaining red plate 2 is attached to the container B via the red plate holder 9 of the cartridge case A', and the retaining red plate 2 can be attached hygienically without directly touching the retaining red plate 2 or the stick-shaped cosmetic 1.

Container B has a feeding mechanism B' arranged below the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 housed in the sleeve 4, which slides the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 up and down. The holding rouge plate 2 that holds the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 is detachably attached to the receiving rouge plate 3 of container B, which slides up and down by the feeding mechanism B', making a cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic feeding container in which the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 and the holding rouge plate 2 form a cartridge A. The outer diameters of the receiving rouge plate 3 and the holding rouge plate 2 are slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve 4, and a pair of gripping claws 314, 316 are erected on the upper surface of the receiving rouge plate 3, and fitting portions 22, 23 are provided on the side of the holding rouge plate 2, which can be fitted between and overcome the gripping claws 314, 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 to connect the holding rouge plate 2 and the receiving rouge plate 3 together. When the receiving rouge plate 3 is at its upper limit, the gripping claws 314, 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 protrude from the tip of the sleeve 4, making the gripping claws 314, 316 deformable, allowing the gripping claws 314, 316 to fit into, overcome, and disengage from the fitting parts 22, 23 of the receiving rouge plate 3. Also, when the receiving rouge plate 3 is inside the sleeve 4, the gripping claws 314, 316 are prevented from deforming by the sleeve 4, making it impossible for the gripping claws 314, 316 to disengage from the fitting parts 22, 23 of the receiving rouge plate 3.

The cartridge A is accommodated in a cartridge case A' consisting of a temporary cap 10 and a red plate holder 9. A pair of retaining recesses 24 are carved into the side wall of the cartridge A other than the fitting portions 22, 23 of the retaining red plate 2. The lower portion of the red plate holder 9 of the cartridge case A' is an insertion portion 91 into which the tip of the sleeve 4 of the container B is fitted so as to be able to slide up and down. The upper portion of the red plate holder 9 is an accommodation portion 92 that accommodates the retaining red plate 2. A pair of engagement pieces 93 that can be deformed outward are cut out and molded into the side wall of the insertion portion 91. A retaining engagement portion 931 that engages with the retaining recesses 24 of the retaining red plate 2 and holds the retaining red plate 2 within the red plate holder 9 is protruded from the inner wall of the tip of the engagement piece 93. The lower portion of the retaining engagement portion 931 is molded into a sloping cam surface 932. The temporary cap 10 of the cartridge case A' covers the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 of the cartridge A. When the red plate holder 9 is fitted to the tip of the sleeve 4, the retaining red plate 2 and the receiving middle plate 3 inside the red plate holder 9 engage together, and as the red plate holder 9 slides, the position of the retaining engagement part 931 relative to the retaining red plate 2 moves, and the cam surface 932 of this retaining engagement part 931 disengages from the retaining recess 24, abutting against the tip of the sleeve 4 and pushing the engagement piece 93 outward, releasing the engagement between the retaining red plate 2 and the red plate holder 9, and the engagement of the cartridge A is transferred from the cartridge case A' to the container B.

The tip of the sleeve 4 of the container B is a cut portion 43 cut at an angle, and the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 of the cartridge A has a diagonal tip shape following the cut portion 43 of the sleeve 4. A guide groove 421 is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 4 in the axial direction, and a guide protrusion 311 protruding from the receiving rouge plate 3 is engaged with this guide groove 421. This engagement guides the receiving rouge plate 3 within the sleeve 4 so that it can slide up and down but cannot rotate, and positions the receiving rouge plate 3 and the sleeve 4 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. A guide boss 313 is provided on the upper surface of the receiving rouge plate 3. A guide tube portion 21 is provided on the lower surface of the holding rouge plate 2 of the cartridge A, which fits non-rotatably into the guide boss 313 of the receiving rouge plate 3. The guide boss 313 and the guide tube portion 21 engage with each other to guide the gripping claws 314, 316 of the receiving red plate 3 to fit into the fitting portions 22, 23 of the holding red plate 2, while at the same time positioning the holding red plate 2 and the receiving red plate 3 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. The holding recess 24 of the holding red plate 2 of the cartridge A engages with the holding engagement portion 931 of the red plate holder 9 of the cartridge case A' to house and hold the holding red plate 2 within the red plate holder 9, while at the same time positioning the red plate holder 9 and the holding red plate 2 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. A positioning rib 94 is protruded from the outer wall of the red plate holder 9 of the cartridge case A', and the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 of the cartridge A is attached to the holding red plate 2 within the red plate holder 9, using the positioning rib 94 as a positioning guide at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction.

By aligning and engaging the rouge plate holder 9 of cartridge case A' and the retaining rouge plate 2 of cartridge A at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, aligning and attaching the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 of cartridge A and the retaining rouge plate 2 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, aligning and engaging the retaining rouge plate 2 of cartridge A and the receiving rouge plate 3 of container B at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, and aligning and engaging the receiving rouge plate 3 of container B and the sleeve 4 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, the cartridge A and container B are aligned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, so that the inclination of the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 matches the inclination of the cut portion 43 at the tip of the sleeve 4 when cartridge A is attached to container B.

In a cartridge-type stick cosmetic dispenser configured with a dispenser mechanism B' disposed below the stick cosmetic 1, when the tip of the sleeve 4 is cut at an angle, it is necessary to align the tip of the stick cosmetic 1 to be attached as cartridge A with the sleeve 4. There is only one coincident point along the entire circumference between the tip of the stick cosmetic 1 of cartridge A and the tip of the sleeve 4 of container B, and some sort of alignment means is required at 1/360° when attaching cartridge A to container B. In the present invention, the sleeve 4 and receiving red plate 3 of container B, the receiving red plate 3 and holding red plate 2 of cartridge A, the holding red plate 2 and red plate holder 9, and the red plate holder 9 and stick cosmetic 1 are aligned and engaged at predetermined angular positions in the circumferential direction. This is the main component of the cartridge-type stick cosmetic dispenser B and cartridge A of the present invention, and all of these main components are aligned and joined at a specified angular position in the circumferential direction, so if the stick cosmetic 1 is attached to the holding plate 2 using the alignment rib 94 of the red plate holder 9 as a positioning guide at a specified angular position in the circumferential direction, the tip of the stick cosmetic 1 and the slope of the cut portion 43 of the sleeve 4 will automatically align.

First, the cartridge type stick cosmetic material dispenser and cartridge case of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 13. This cartridge type stick cosmetic material dispenser and cartridge case is composed of a cartridge A, a cartridge case A' that houses the cartridge A, and a container B in which the cartridge A is attached. This container B is configured such that a dispenser mechanism B' that slides the stick cosmetic material 1 up and down is disposed below the storage space for the stick cosmetic material 1. The retaining rouge plate 2 that holds the stick cosmetic material 1 and the receiving rouge plate 3 that slides up and down by the dispenser mechanism B' are detachably engaged to form a cartridge A in which the stick cosmetic material 1 and the retaining rouge plate 2 can be replaced.

As shown in Figures 1 and 3, container B consists of a receiving plate 3, a sleeve 4, a base tube 5, a hakama tube 6, and a cap 7.

As shown in FIG. 10, the receiving tube 3 is composed of a receiving tube 31 and a threaded rod 32 that hangs down from the bottom surface 312 of the receiving tube 31. A number of guide protrusions 311 protrude from the outer peripheral wall of the receiving tube 31. The guide protrusions 311 are irregularly arranged on the outer periphery of the receiving tube 31. A guide boss 313 protrudes from the upper surface of the receiving tube 31, leaning to one side of the receiving tube 31. A first gripping claw 314 is erected on the upper surface of the guide boss 313 along the side of the receiving tube 31. A first gripping protrusion 315 that is elongated horizontally is erected on the inner wall at the tip of the first gripping claw 314. A second gripping claw 316 is erected along the side of the upper surface of the receiving tube 31 opposite the first gripping claw 314. The tip of the second gripping claw 316 is at the same height as the tip of the first gripping claw 314. A second gripping protrusion 317 is provided on the inner wall of the tip of the second gripping claw 316 so as to face the first gripping protrusion 315 of the first gripping claw 314.

The threaded rod 32 is pipe-shaped, with a male screw 321 screwed into the outer wall. The lower end side wall of the threaded rod 32 is provided with a pair of tongue-shaped stopper pieces 322 that are cut into an inverted U shape and have upper ends that can bend inward. The pair of stopper pieces 322 are wedge-shaped and gradually protrude outward as they go upward, with the upper ends being the maximum outer diameter parts 323.

The base tube 5 is a pipe-shaped tube with a through hole 51 that penetrates vertically. The threaded rod 32 of the receiving red plate 3 is inserted into this through hole 51. The through hole 51 has an inner diameter that allows the threaded rod 32 to move up and down with ease. The upper part of the through hole 51 has a narrower inner diameter, and a female screw 512 that screws into the male screw 321 of the threaded rod 32 is screwed into the inner wall, forming a step 511 at the lower end. As shown in Figure 1, the lower surface 312 of the receiving tube 31 abuts against the upper end of the base tube 5, which is the lower limit, and as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the maximum outer diameter portion 323 of the stopper piece 322 of the threaded rod 32 abuts against the step 511 in the through hole 51, which is the upper limit, thereby regulating the vertical sliding range. The circumscribed circle diameter of the maximum outer diameter portion 323 of the stopper piece 322 of the threaded rod 32 should be at least larger than the inner diameter of the female thread 512 in the through hole 51, and is preferably larger than the root diameter of the female thread 512.

The upper outer wall of the base tube 5 is an insertion section 52 with a diameter approximately equal to the circumscribed circle diameter of the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving tube 31 of the receiving red plate 3. The lower outer wall of the base tube 5 is a base section 53 with an outer diameter larger than that of the insertion section 52. A stepped section 531 is formed at the joint between the insertion section 52 and the base section 53. A fitting groove 521 and an engagement groove 522 are engraved on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion section 52, arranged vertically. An O-ring 8 made of an elastic material such as elastomer or NBR is fitted into the fitting groove 521.

The receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 and the insertion part 52 of the base tube 5 are inserted from below the sleeve 4, and the lower end of the sleeve 4 abuts against the stepped part 531 of the base tube 5. The part of the sleeve 4 facing the insertion part 52 becomes the support part 41, and the inner diameter of this support part 41 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the insertion part 52 of the base tube 5. The part above the support part 41 becomes the storage part 42 that stores the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 and the cartridge A. The inner diameter of this storage part 42 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3. As a result, when the receiving rouge plate 3 is stored in the sleeve 4, the first gripping claw 314 and the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 prevent deformation in the outer diameter direction. The outer diameter of the base part 53 of the base tube 5 is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the sleeve 4.

The O-ring 8 fitted to the insertion portion 52 of the base tube 5 elastically abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the support portion 41 of the sleeve 4. As a result, when the sleeve 4 and the base tube 5 are rotated relative to each other, sliding friction resistance is generated between the sleeve 4 and the base tube 5 by the O-ring 8, and this sliding friction resistance creates a good, heavy feeling of rotational operation. Furthermore, an engagement rib 411 is molded to protrude from the outside toward the inside at a position opposite the engagement groove 522 of the insertion portion 52 on the support portion 41, and the engagement rib 411 engages with the engagement groove 522, connecting the sleeve 4 and the base tube 5 so that they can rotate freely and cannot fall off.

As shown in Figure 10, the tip of the sleeve 4 is cut at an angle to form a diagonal cut section 43. A guide groove 421 is engraved long in the axial direction on the inner wall of the storage section 42 of the sleeve 4, which engages with the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 and guides the receiving rouge plate 3 up and down freely within the sleeve 4 without rotating. This guide groove 421 corresponds to the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3, and the cut valley section 431 of the diagonal cut section 43 of the sleeve 4 faces the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3, and the cut peak section 432 faces the first gripping claw 315.

The base 53 of the base tube 5 and the lower part of the sleeve 4 are inserted from above the hakama tube 6, with the upper part of the sleeve 4 protruding from the upper end of the hakama tube 6. The upper part of the hakama tube 6 serves as a fitting part 62 into which the cap 7 fits so as to be freely removed. When the cap 7 fits into the fitting part 62 of the hakama tube 6, it covers the upper part of the sleeve 4. The lower part of the hakama tube 6 serves as a fastening part 61 that fastens the base 53 of the base tube 5.

Next, the payout mechanism B' in the container B will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3. The payout mechanism B' is configured by engaging the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 with the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4 so as to be non-rotatable and slidable up and down, connecting the lower end of the sleeve 4 to the base tube 5 so as to be rotatable, and screwing the male screw 321 of the receiving rouge plate 3 with the female screw 512 of the base tube 5. In the container B of the first embodiment of the present invention, the base tube 5 is fixed in the hakama tube 6. Therefore, when the sleeve 4 and the hakama tube 6 are rotated relative to each other, the base tube 5 fixed in the hakama tube 6 and the sleeve 4 also rotate relative to each other. The receiving rouge plate 3 follows the sleeve 4 because the guide protrusion 311 is engaged with the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4, and the male screw 321 of the receiving rouge plate 3 is screwed into the female screw 512 in the base tube 5 with which it rotates relative to itself, so that the receiving rouge plate 3 slides up and down in the sleeve 4 due to the screwing action. As shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface 312 of the receiving tube 31 abuts against the upper end 524 of the insertion portion 52 of the base tube 5, and as shown in FIG. 2, the stopper piece 322 of the threaded rod 32 abuts against the step 511 in the through hole 51 of the base tube 5, and the upper and lower sliding is restricted. When the receiving tube 3 is at the upper limit of the upper limit, as shown in FIG. 3, the second gripping claw 316 on the upper surface of the receiving tube 31 protrudes upward from the cut valley portion 431 at the tip of the sleeve 4, and can bend in the outer diameter direction, making it possible to attach and detach the holding tube 2 of the cartridge A.

Next, we will explain how to assemble this container B. When assembling the receiving rouge plate 3 and the base tube 5, the lower end of the threaded rod 32 of the receiving rouge plate 3 is inserted into the female thread 512 of the through hole 51 of the base tube 5. The stopper piece 322 of the threaded rod 32 is made larger in diameter than at least the inner diameter of the female thread 512, but is wedge-shaped and can bend inward due to the notch, so if it is forcibly pushed in, it will be forced to narrow inward and pass through the female thread 512 and enter the through hole 51. When the stopper piece 322 reaches the through hole 51, the stopper piece 322 returns to its original shape, and the upper end of the stopper piece 322 abuts against the step 511 of the female thread 512, making it impossible to disassemble again. The receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 and the inserting part 52 of the base tube 5 are inserted from the rear end of the sleeve 4, and the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 is engaged with the guide groove 421 of the storage part 42 of the sleeve 4, so that the receiving tube 31 is connected to be non-rotatable and vertically slidable. By engaging the guide protrusion 311 with the guide groove 421, as shown in FIG. 10, the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving tube 31 is positioned at a circumferential angle position corresponding to the cut valley part 431 of the oblique cut part 43 of the sleeve 4. In addition, the inner peripheral rib 411 of the support part 41 of the sleeve 4 is engaged with the engagement groove 522 of the inserting part 52 of the base tube 5, so that the base tube 5 and the sleeve 4 are connected to be rotatable and non-detachable. Furthermore, the base part 53 of the base tube 5 protruding from the lower end of the sleeve 4 is inserted into the hakama tube 6 and fastened to the fastening part 61 in the hakama tube 6. Then, with the upper part of the sleeve 4 protruding from the fitting portion 62 of the hakama tube 6, the payout mechanism B' is connected to the hakama tube 6.

The inner rib 411 of the sleeve 4 may be molded on the sleeve 4 after the base tube 5 is attached, or the inner rib 411 may be molded after the base tube 5 is attached to the sleeve 4. If the base tube 5 is attached after the inner rib 411 is molded, the sleeve 4 is molded alone, so the shape of the inner rib 411 can be made sharp, but the base tube 5 will be forced in when assembled after the protrusion molding. If the inner rib 411 is molded after the base tube 5 is assembled, there is no effect on the base tube 5 during assembly, but the base tube 5 serves as the receiving mold when molding the inner rib 411, so the shape of the inner rib 411 cannot be made sharp.

Next, the cartridge A of the first embodiment of the present invention and the cartridge case A' that houses this cartridge A will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. The cartridge A consists of a stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 and a holding plate 2 that holds the end of this stick-shaped cosmetic material 1.

As shown in Figure 11, the holding rouge plate 2 is cup-shaped to hold the lower end of the stick-shaped cosmetic 1, and has the same diameter as the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 of the container B. A cylindrical guide tube portion 21 hangs down from the lower end of this holding rouge plate 2. This guide tube portion 21 has its lower end cut out to provide a notched engagement portion 211. When the cartridge A is attached to the container B, this guide tube portion 21 fits into the guide boss 313 of the receiving tube 31, and the notched engagement portion 211 serves as a guide for positioning the holding rouge plate 2 and receiving rouge plate 3 at a specified angular position in the circumferential direction.

12, the side of the holding rouge plate 2 is engraved with a first insertion portion 22 and a second insertion portion 23. The upper side wall of the first insertion portion 22 is provided with a first gripping recess 221, and the upper side wall of the second insertion portion 23 is provided with a second gripping recess 231. When the holding rouge plate 2 is connected to the receiving rouge plate 3, the first insertion portion 22 and the second insertion portion 23 are inserted from above into the first gripping claw 314 and the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving tube 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first gripping protrusion 315 of the first gripping claw 314 engages with the first gripping recess 221, and the second gripping protrusion 317 of the second gripping claw 316 engages with the second gripping claw 316. When the holding red plate 2 is inserted into the receiving red plate 3, the holding red plate 2 and the receiving tube 31 of the receiving red plate 3 become a single cylinder. In addition, a pair of holding recesses 24 are carved into the outer wall of the holding red plate 2 between the first insertion portion 22 and the second insertion portion 23.

As shown in Figure 13, the cartridge case A' is composed of a red plate holder 9 that holds the retaining red plate 2 and a temporary cap 10 that covers the stick-shaped cosmetic 1, and contains the cartridge A. As shown in Figure 12, the red plate holder 9 is a pipe-like shape that penetrates from top to bottom. The lower part of this red plate holder 9 is an insertion part 91 whose inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve 4, into which the tip of the sleeve 4 can be inserted. The upper part of the red plate holder 9 is a storage part 92 whose inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the retaining red plate 2. This storage part 92 faces the outer wall of the retaining red plate 2 when the retaining red plate 2 is stored in the red plate holder 9. At the joint between the insertion part 91 and the storage part 92, a stepped abutment part 96 is provided due to the difference in inner diameter.

As shown in FIG. 12, the side wall of the insertion portion 91 of the red plate holder 9 is provided with a pair of engagement pieces 93 that are cut out in an inverted U shape and can be deformed outward at symmetrical positions. The engagement pieces 93 have the same inner diameter as the insertion portion 91, but the upper inner wall of the engagement pieces 93 forms a holding portion 97 that protrudes to the same diameter as the inner diameter of the storage portion 92. A holding engagement portion 931 that engages with the holding recess 24 of the holding red plate 2 is protruded from the inner wall of this holding portion 97. The engagement between this holding recess 24 and the holding engagement portion 931 positions and holds the holding red plate 2 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction within the red plate holder 9. The lower surface of this convex holding engagement portion 931 is a cam surface 932 that is inclined in an inclined manner, as shown in FIG. 5. The cam surface 932 abuts against the lower side of the holding recess 24.

Furthermore, as shown in Figure 13, a single long alignment rib 94 is provided on the outer wall of the red plate holder 9 in the axial direction. This alignment rib 94 reaches the upper and lower ends of the red plate holder 9. A pair of notches are provided in the upper side wall of the red plate holder 9 in the axial direction from the upper end surface, and a deformable tongue-shaped connecting piece 95 is provided between them. A pair of these connecting pieces 95 are arranged at symmetrical positions, and an engaging protrusion 951 is provided on the upper outer wall. A temporary cap 10 is fitted onto the upper part of this red plate holder 9.

This temporary cap 10 is made of a transparent synthetic resin, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 of the stored cartridge A can be seen from the outside. The temporary cap 10 consists of a fitting part 101 that fits onto the top of the red plate holder 9, and a cover part 102 that covers the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 of the stored cartridge A. The side wall of this fitting part 101 is provided with an engagement window part 104 that engages with the connecting protrusion 951 of the connecting piece 95 of the red plate holder 9 and positions the red plate holder 9 and the temporary cap 10 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, an alignment slit 103 that engages with the alignment rib 94 of the red plate holder 9 is engraved on the side wall of the fitting part 101. As a result, the engagement of the alignment rib 94 of the red plate holder 9 and the alignment slit 103 of the temporary cap 10 can be used as a positioning guide for a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, allowing the connection protrusion 951 of the red plate holder 9 to engage with the engagement window part 104 of the temporary cap 10. Similarly, the alignment rib 94 of the red plate holder 9 can also be used as a positioning guide for a specific angular position in the circumferential direction when attaching the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 to the retaining red plate 2 engaged and held within the red plate holder 9. In addition, a certain amount of space 105 is provided between the ceiling of the cover part 102 of the temporary cap 10 and the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic 1.

Next, the method of mounting cartridge A in container B will be explained with reference to Figures 3 and 6 to 9. As shown in Figure 3, container B is positioned so that the receiving plate 3 is raised to its upper limit, and the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving tube 31 protrudes above the cut valley portion 431 of the cut portion 43 of the sleeve 4.

As shown in Figure 6, the insertion portion 91 of the red plate holder 9 of cartridge A is inserted into the tip portion of the sleeve 4 of container B. At this time, as shown in Figure 11, the guide tube portion 21 of the retaining red plate 2 housed in the red plate holder 9 of cartridge A engages with the guide boss 313 of the receiving red plate 3 of container B, positioning the retaining red plate 2 at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction relative to the receiving red plate 3, guiding it in an unrotatable state. Then, the first gripping claw 314 fits into the first fitting portion 22 of the retaining red plate 2, and the second gripping claw 316 fits into the second fitting portion 23 of the retaining red plate 2. The second gripping claw 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 protrudes upward from the cut valley portion 431 at the tip of the sleeve 4 and can bend outward, so the first gripping protrusion 315 of the first gripping claw 314 and the second gripping protrusion 317 of the second gripping claw 316 ride over and engage with the first gripping recess 221 of the first insertion portion 22 and the second gripping recess 231 of the second insertion portion 23, respectively. As a result, the holding rouge plate 2 of the cartridge A and the receiving cylinder 31 of the receiving rouge plate 3 are joined and connected into a single cylindrical shape without any irregularities.

When the cartridge case A' containing cartridge A is further pushed down as shown in Figure 7 with the retaining rouge plate 2 of cartridge A and the receiving rouge plate 3 of container B connected and joined, cartridge A is connected and joined to the receiving rouge plate 3 of container B and does not move, but the cartridge case A' tries to slide downwards on its own. At this time, the retaining engagement part 931 of the rouge plate holder 9 of cartridge case A', which engages with the retaining recess 24 of the retaining rouge plate 2 of cartridge A, tries to shift downwards. In addition to this stress of shifting, the cam surface 932 provided on the retaining engagement part 931 bends the engagement piece 93 of the rouge plate holder 9 outward, and the retaining engagement part 931 comes out of the retaining recess 24 and is pushed apart to contact the outer wall of the retaining rouge plate 2. In the state shown in Figure 7, the retaining recess 24 of cartridge A and the retaining engagement portion 931 of cartridge case A' are disengaged, but the retaining engagement portion 931 of the engagement piece 93 of cartridge case A' is in elastic contact with the outer wall of the retaining plate 2 of cartridge A, and cartridge A has not been completely removed from cartridge case A'.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the cartridge case A' is continued to be pushed down, the retaining engagement portion 931 of the engagement piece 93 of the cartridge case A' moves downward while contacting the outer wall of the retaining red plate 2 of the cartridge A. When the cam surface 932 of this retention engagement portion 931 abuts against the tip of the sleeve 4 of the container B, the cam action pushes the engagement piece 93 of the red plate holder 9 further outward, and the engagement piece 93 bends outward. Then, the retention engagement portion 931 of the engagement piece 93 abuts against the outer wall of the sleeve 4, and the retention of the red plate holder 9 of the cartridge case A' and the retaining red plate 2 of the cartridge A is completely lost. The tip of the sleeve 4 abuts against the abutment portion 96 of the red plate holder 9, making it unable to descend, and informing the user that the operation of pushing down the cartridge case A' to mount the cartridge A in the container B is complete.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 9, when the container B is lowered, the retaining rouge plate 2, which is connected and engaged with the receiving rouge plate 3, is released from the cartridge case A' and is accommodated in the sleeve 4 together with the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 held by the retaining rouge plate 2. When the receiving rouge plate 3 is positioned in the sleeve 4, the first gripping claw 314 and the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 are positioned on the back side of the inner wall of the sleeve 4, preventing the outward deformation and holding the retaining rouge plate 2 so that it cannot fall off. When the receiving rouge plate 3 is lowered to its lower limit, the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 held by the retaining rouge plate 2 is accommodated in the sleeve 4. Then, the cartridge case A' is removed from the container B. When the cartridge case A' is removed, the engaging piece 93 of the rouge plate holder 9 returns to the engaged and held state of the retaining rouge plate 2 of the cartridge A, but the holding engaging part 931 does not damage the stick-shaped cosmetic 1. After the cartridge case A' is removed, the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 can be used in the same way as a normal stick-shaped cosmetic dispenser.

To remove the retaining rouge plate 2, for example when the stick-shaped cosmetic 1 has been used up, the receiving rouge plate 3 is raised to its upper limit as shown in FIG. 2, so that the retaining rouge plate 2 protrudes from the tip of the sleeve 4, and the second gripping claw 316 of the receiving rouge plate 3 protrudes upward from the cut valley portion 431 of the sleeve 4. As a result, the second gripping claw 316 can be bent outward, and the retaining rouge plate 2 can be released from its engagement with the receiving rouge plate 3 and removed simply by pinching and pulling the retaining rouge plate 2 upward.

Next, a method of assembling the cartridge A and cartridge case A' of the present invention will be described. As shown in Figure 12, the retaining red plate 2 of cartridge A is inserted into the red plate holder 9 of cartridge case A', and the retaining engagement portion 931 of the red plate holder 9 is engaged with the retaining recess 24 of the retaining red plate 2, so that the retaining red plate 2 is aligned and held at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction within the red plate holder 9. In this state, when the lower end of the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 is inserted into the retaining red plate 2 using the alignment rib 94 of the red plate holder 9 as a positioning guide for the angular position in the circumferential direction, as shown in Figure 13, the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 and the retaining red plate 2 are aligned and held at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. After the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 is attached, the alignment rib 94 of the red plate holder 9 is used as a positioning guide for the angular position in the circumferential direction, the temporary cap 10 is fitted onto the top of the red plate holder 9, and the engagement protrusion 951 of the red plate holder 9 is engaged with the engagement window portion 104 of the temporary cap 10, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 is housed within the cover portion 102 as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Through the above steps, the cartridge A is housed within the cartridge case A', making it safe to carry and hold.

Next, the positioning at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction of the present invention will be explained. The red plate holder 9 of cartridge case A' and the retaining red plate 2 of cartridge A are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction by the retaining engagement portion 931 of the red plate holder 9 engaging with the retaining recess 24 of the retaining red plate 2. The stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 and retaining red plate 2 of cartridge A are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction when the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 is attached to the retaining red plate 2 using the alignment rib 94 as a positioning guide for the angular position in the circumferential direction. The retaining red plate 2 of cartridge A and the receiving red plate 3 of container B are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction by the gripping protrusions 315, 317 of the receiving red plate 3 engaging with the gripping recesses 221, 231 of the retaining red plate 2. The receiving rouge plate 3 and sleeve 4 of container B are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction by the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 and the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4 engaging freely up and down but not rotating. As a result, the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 of cartridge A and the sleeve 4 of container B in cartridge case A' are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, and when cartridge case A' is attached to container B, the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 and sleeve 4 are automatically positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction, and the shape of the tip of the sleeve 4 matches the shape of the tip of the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the mechanism B' housed in the container B is described as being composed of the guide protrusion 311 and male screw 321 on the receiving rouge plate 3, the female screw 512 into which the male screw 321 of the receiving rouge plate 3 on the base tube 5 screws, and the guide groove 421 into which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 on the sleeve 4 engages. However, the mechanism B' is not limited to this, and it can be implemented in a different configuration from that of the first embodiment as long as the mechanism B' is placed below the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 and the stick-shaped cosmetic material 1 is directly housed in the sleeve 4. Below, other embodiments equipped with the mechanism B' are described. Note that the description of the parts that correspond to those described in the first embodiment of the present invention is omitted.

The cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic dispenser of the second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 14. The dispenser mechanism B' of the second embodiment is composed of the guide protrusion 311 and male screw 321 on the receiving rouge plate 3, the intermediate female screw 111 and intermediate male screw 112 with which the male screw 321 of the receiving rouge plate 3 on the intermediate pipe 11 screws, the female screw 512 with which the intermediate male screw 112 on the base tube 5 screws, and the guide groove 421 with which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 on the sleeve 4 engages. This configuration allows the intermediate pipe 11 to be placed between the receiving rouge plate 3 and the base tube 5 of the dispenser mechanism B' of the first embodiment, and the dispenser mechanism B' to be folded into an antenna shape to shorten the overall length.

The feeding mechanism B' of the cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic feeding container described in Examples 1 and 2 is the same in that the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 engages with the guide groove 421 engraved on the inner wall of the sleeve 4, and the receiving rouge plate 3 is housed within the sleeve 4 in a manner that allows it to slide up and down but not to rotate. In this configuration, when only one guide groove 421 is engraved on the inner wall of the sleeve 4, one guide protrusion 311 is also protruded on the side wall of the receiving rouge plate 3 in line with the guide groove 421, and the sleeve 4 and the receiving rouge plate 3 are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. When multiple guide grooves 421 are engraved around the entire inner wall of the sleeve 4, multiple guide protrusions 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 are also protruded in correspondence with the guide groove 421. The groove width of the guide groove 421 and the width of the guide protrusion 311 are made uniform, and the intervals between the guide groove 421 and the guide protrusion 311 are arranged unequal, so that the sleeve 4 and the receiving robe 3 are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. Conversely, the intervals between the guide groove 421 and the guide protrusion 311 are made uniform, and the groove width of the guide groove 421 and the width of the guide protrusion 311 are arranged unequal, so that the sleeve 4 and the receiving robe 3 are positioned at a predetermined angular position in the circumferential direction. The number of the guide grooves 421 and the number of the guide protrusions 311 do not necessarily have to be the same, but the number of the guide protrusions 311 must be less.

The cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic dispenser of the third embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 15. The dispenser mechanism B' of the third embodiment is composed of the guide protrusion 311 and female screw 512 of the receiving rouge plate 3, the male screw 321 of the base tube 5 which screws with the female screw 512 of the receiving rouge plate 3, and the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4 which engages with the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 to guide the receiving rouge plate 3 so that it cannot rotate. The receiving rouge plate 3 has a pipe-shaped leg tube 33 hanging down from the lower end of the receiving tube 31. The leg tube 33 has a female screw 512 screwed into the inner wall and a guide protrusion 311 protruding from the outer wall. The threaded rod 32 which enters the leg tube 33 of the receiving rouge plate 3 is erected on the upper surface of the base tube 5. The outer wall of the threaded rod 32 has a male screw 321 screwed into the female screw 512 of the leg tube 33. A slit-shaped guide groove 421 is drilled into the side wall of the sleeve 4, into which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving bronze plate 3 engages.

Figure 16 shows a cartridge-type stick-shaped cosmetic dispenser according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The dispenser mechanism B' of the fourth embodiment is composed of the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3, the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4 through which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 passes and guides the receiving rouge plate 3 so that it cannot rotate, and the helical groove 513 of the helical tube 12 into which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 that passes through the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4 is screwed. The receiving rouge plate 3 is attached to a pipe-shaped leg tube 33 that hangs down from the lower end of the receiving tube 31. The leg tube 33 has a guide protrusion 311 protruding from its outer wall. A slit-shaped guide groove 421 is drilled in the side wall of the sleeve 4, through which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving rouge plate 3 passes. The lower part of the sleeve 4 is rotatably inserted into the helical tube 12, and a female-threaded helical groove 513 is screwed into the inner wall into which the guide protrusion 311 of the receiving brim 3, which penetrates the guide groove 421 of the sleeve 4, screws.
