[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, as shown in FIG. 7, when the notch 34 is formed in the lower half of the plate-like comb teeth 31, the agent retention on the base side of the plate-like comb teeth 31 is lowered, and the hair is applied to the portion with the hair volume. Cosmetics cannot be applied sufficiently.
[0008]
On the other hand, in order to increase the amount of application to the hair, the interval between the plate-like comb teeth 31 may be reduced. However, when the interval between the plate-like comb teeth 31 is reduced, the combing path is lowered.
[0009]
On the other hand, the present invention uses a container with comb-like caps having comb-teeth portions arranged in the thickness direction of the plate-like comb teeth to apply hair cosmetics and other coating solutions. An object of the present invention is to improve combing while ensuring a sufficient amount of application to a coated body when applied to a coated body such as hair.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the comb cap in which a plurality of plate-like comb teeth standing on the cap portion are arranged in the thickness direction of the plate-like comb teeth, the plate-like comb teeth are arranged so as to overlap in a row at the base portion. The tip portion is narrow, and the tip portion of the plate-like comb teeth is narrow and the adjacent plate-like comb teeth are staggered when the narrow tip portions are staggered between adjacent plate-like comb teeth. Since the interval between the plate-like comb teeth is good, the width of the plate-like comb teeth is wide, and the interval between adjacent plate-like comb teeth is narrowed, so that the agent retention is improved. The present inventor has found that the coating amount of a coating solution such as a hair cosmetic does not decrease.
[0011]
That is, the present invention provides a comb tooth portion in which a cap portion attached to a container containing a coating liquid and a plurality of plate-like comb teeth standing on the cap portion are arranged in the thickness direction of the plate-like comb teeth. A comb cap with
The plate-like comb has a fluid passage that communicates with the inside of the container, and one end of the fluid passage opens as a discharge hole for the coating liquid at the tip of the plate-like comb.

[0012]
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.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same numerals indicate the same or equivalent components.
[0014]
FIG. 1A is a partial perspective view of an applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention in which a comb cap 10A according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to a squeeze container 1, and FIG. 1B is a cap with a comb. 10A is a top view, and FIGS. 10C and 10D are cross-sectional views of the comb cap 10A.
[0015]
The comb-attached cap 10 </ b> A includes a cap portion 20 that is attached to the mouth portion of the container 1 containing a coating solution such as a squeeze container by screwing, and a plurality of plate-like comb teeth 31 that stand on the top surface 21 of the cap portion 20. Are composed of comb-teeth portions 30 arranged in the thickness direction of the plate-like comb teeth 31.
[0016]
In the present invention, the plate-like comb teeth are comb teeth made of a plate-like high-rigid material having a sufficiently large area in the width direction as compared with the thickness thereof, as shown in FIG.
[0017]
In the plate-like comb teeth 31, a liquid passage 32 for coating liquid that communicates with the inside of the container 1 is formed. One end of the liquid flow path 32 is opened as a coating liquid discharge hole 33 at the tip 35 of the opposing surface of the adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31, and the opening surface is in the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31. Are parallel. By forming the discharge holes 33 on the opposing surfaces of the adjacent plate-like comb teeth 31 in this way, when the object to be coated such as hair is combed with the plate-like comb teeth 31, the coating liquid is efficiently applied. In addition, when the container 1 is temporarily erected during application, the application liquid adhering to the plate-like comb teeth 31 is efficiently applied to the liquid receiving portion 38 to be described later. I can accumulate well.
[0018]
Further, as a feature of the comb cap 10A, the plate-like comb teeth 31 are formed to have the same width in the base portion 36 and are arranged so as to overlap each other, but the tip portion 35 has a top portion 35a on the right side. Alternatively, the tip portions 35 that are formed narrow so as to be eccentric to the left and are eccentric to the right or left of the adjacent plate-like comb teeth 31 are staggered. For this reason, the pitch W1 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 adjacent to the tip portion 35 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 is twice the pitch W2 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 adjacent to the base portion 36 of the plate-like comb teeth 31. Yes. Accordingly, when the coating liquid is applied to an object to be applied such as hair using the comb cap 10A, the comb-like pitch W1 of the tip portion 35 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 is good. On the other hand, while combing hair using the comb cap 10 </ b> A, the hair etc. can also pass through the base portion 36 of the plate-like comb tooth 31, and the application held on the base portion 36 of the plate-like comb tooth 31. When the liquid is applied to hair or the like, at the base portion 36 of the plate-like comb teeth 31, the comb-tooth pitch W2 is narrow and the plate-like comb teeth 31 are wide. Therefore, the application amount of the coating liquid to the coated body such as hair is improved. On the other hand, when the base portion 36 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 is formed narrow like the tip portion 35, the plate-like comb teeth 31 form a staggered arrangement not only at the tip portion 35 but also as a whole comb teeth, and the base portion 36 is formed. Is widened in the same manner as the pitch W1 of the tip 35. For this reason, the amount of application to an object to be coated such as hair is not preferable because it decreases not only by narrowing the base 36 but also by increasing the pitch of the base 36.
[0019]
In the comb-attached cap 10A, 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 L0 of the base portion 36 where each plate-like comb tooth 31 has the same width. Is preferably 10 to 20 mm, and the width of the tip portion 35 is preferably ½ or less of the width of the base portion 36 in the vicinity of the discharge hole 33, particularly 3 to 7 mm. Further, when narrowing the width of the distal end portion 35 with respect to the base portion 36, the width may be gradually reduced from the base portion having a predetermined height L2 to the top portion 35a of the distal end portion 35. It is preferable to narrow it abruptly as described above.
[0020]
Further, in the comb-attached cap 10 </ b> A, a liquid receiving portion 38 whose central portion is recessed with respect to the edge side of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 is formed on the comb-tooth base surface 37 between the adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31. Has been. Thereby, while applying the coating liquid in the container 1 with the comb cap 10A attached, the coating liquid adhering to the surface of the plate-shaped comb teeth 31 is indicated by an arrow even if the container is temporarily left standing for a while after being erect. Since it collects in the liquid receiving part 38 like P, the dripping to the side surface of the container 1 can be prevented. Furthermore, after the application liquid has accumulated in the liquid receiving portion 38, when the application liquid is applied again using the cap 10A with a comb, the application liquid accumulated in the liquid receiving portion 38 can be applied to an object to be applied such as hair. Waste of the coating solution can be eliminated.
[0021]
Here, when the height L1 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 from the top surface 21 of the cap part 20 is set to 30 to 40 mm as described above, the side wall 39 of the liquid receiving part 38 from the top surface 21 of the cap part 20 is used. It is preferable that the height L2 is 10 to 20 mm and the depth L3 of the liquid receiving portion 38 is 3 to 10 mm from the viewpoint of preventing dripping and improving the combing. If the depth L3 of the liquid receiving portion 38 is too shallow, the dripping cannot be effectively prevented. On the other hand, if the depth L3 is too deep, the accumulated coating liquid may not be easily discharged. Further, if the height L2 of the side wall 39 of the liquid receiving portion 38 is too high, the length of the tip of the comb teeth required by L1 -L2 is shortened, and the function as a comb for scrubbing or scraping hair is reduced. On the other hand, if it is too low, the depth L3 of the liquid receiving portion 38 cannot be secured sufficiently.
[0022]
There are no particular restrictions on the width L4, thickness L5, and distance L6 of the central portion of the plate-like comb teeth 31. For example, the width L4 is 10 to 20 mm, the thickness L5 is 1 to 3 mm, and the distance L6 is 1 to 3 mm.
[0023]
Further, on the top surface 21 of the cap portion 20 of the comb cap 10A, a ridge 22 having a height L7 of 1 to 5 mm surrounding the comb tooth portion 30 is formed. If this ridge 22 is not present, it cannot be prevented that a small amount of liquid dripping the edge of the plate-like comb tooth 31 as shown by the arrow Q reaches the side surface of the container 1, but by providing this ridge 22 , Such dripping can be prevented from reaching the side surface of the container 1.
[0024]
FIG. 2 (a) is a perspective view of a comb cap 10B according to an embodiment of the present invention in a different mode, and FIGS. 2 (b) and (c) are cross-sectional views of the comb cap 10B. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of one plate-like comb tooth 31 forming the comb tooth portion 30 of the comb cap 10B.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 3, the comb-shaped cap 10 </ b> B has a thin plate-like comb tooth 31 in a region closer to the tip than the discharge hole 33, and the discharge hole 33 is formed in the longitudinal direction of the plate-like comb tooth 31. And an opening surface perpendicular to the surface.
[0026]
Moreover, the rib 40 extended in the longitudinal direction is formed in the opposing surface of adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31. FIG. The ribs 40 increase the surface area of the plate-like comb teeth 31 and improve the retention of the agent between the plate-like comb teeth 31. Therefore, it is possible to apply the coating solution to the coated body such as hair sufficiently and uniformly. It becomes easy. Further, when the container 1 is upright, the rib 40 can efficiently guide the coating liquid adhering to the surface of the plate-like comb teeth 31 to the liquid receiving portion 38.
[0027]
When such a rib 40 is formed, it is preferable to use a mold structure that is divided into upper and lower parts as indicated by arrows in FIG.
[0028]
FIG. 4 is a perspective view (a), a top view (b), a sectional view (c), and a side view (d) of a comb cap 10C of still another embodiment.
[0029]
Also in this comb cap 10 </ b> C, the base portions 36 of the plate-like comb teeth 31 are arranged in a line, and the tip portion 35 is narrower than the base portion 36. Moreover, although the front-end | tip part 35 of the adjacent plate-shaped comb tooth 31 shifts | deviates to the left and right alternately as a whole, it overlaps partially in the thickness direction, and the top part 35a is arranged in a line.
[0030]
Since the top portions 35a are arranged in a row in this way, it becomes easy to aim at a desired position when an object to be coated such as hair is combed with the plate-like comb teeth 31.
[0031]
In addition, even if a part of tip part 35 has overlapped in the thickness direction between adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31 like this comb cap 10C, the pitch of the adjacent plate-shaped comb teeth 31 in the tip part 35 is substantially. W1 is twice the pitch W2 at the base 36. Accordingly, a wide pitch at the tip 35 improves the combing, and a narrow pitch at the base 36 and a wide width of the plate-like comb teeth 31 enhances the liquid retention and allows the application to the coated body. The amount can be improved.
[0032]
The comb cap 10D in FIG. 5 is the same as the comb cap 10C in FIG. 4 except that the apex portion 35a of the tip portion 35 of the plate-like comb tooth 31 is formed into a thin cylindrical shape. In this way, when the top portion 35a of the plate-like comb teeth 31 is formed into a thin cylindrical shape, it is even easier to aim at a desired position when the coated object such as hair is combed with the plate-like comb teeth 31. It becomes. In addition, it becomes easy to understand the feeling that the plate-like comb teeth 31 are hitting the scalp, and it is easy to sufficiently apply the application liquid to the base of the hair while suppressing the application liquid from adhering to the scalp as much as possible.
[0033]
The container 1 to which the cap with a comb of the present invention is attached may be a synthetic resin squeeze container, for example, as long as it can store the coating solution and can be attached with the comb cap.
[0034]
The type of the coating liquid to be applied using the cap with a comb of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a liquid having a viscosity that can be discharged from the discharge hole 33 through the liquid passage 32, and is applied to human hair or animal hair. Various hair colors, hair dyes such as hair manicure, depigmenting agents, shampoos, rinses, treatments, cosmetics such as styling agents, chemicals such as hair removal agents applied to animal hair or epidermis such as dogs and cats, natural or It can be used for application of a dyeing solution, a decoloring solution, a masking solution, etc. of a synthetic yarn bundle or tufted product.
[0035]
In particular, when used for the application of hair dyes or hair bleaching agents, the combs can be applied in a sufficient amount, and when the liquid receiving portion 38 is provided on the cap with a comb, they can be applied. Is preferable because it prevents liquid from dripping on the side of the container and prevents the surroundings from being unnecessarily stained or decolored. Therefore, the applicator of the present invention in which the cap with the comb of the present invention is attached to a container containing a hair dye or a hair bleaching agent is easy to use as a hair cosmetic product and has high product value.
[0036]
