Detailed Description of the Invention

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

  The present invention relates to a structure in which a rod-shaped member such as a cosmetic brush stands up automatically and a method for manufacturing such a rod-shaped member.

Conventional technology

  In order to store cosmetic brushes in a container, the brushes are often stored side by side in the storage part, but the containers to be stored tend to be small and thin so that the brushes are convenient to carry. It is in. In use, the user opened the lids of these containers and grabbed the brush or the like in a laid state with his / her finger. However, the stored brush or the like may be dropped due to vibration or the like when the user opens the lid. For example, if the rod-shaped member is a cosmetic brush or tip, dropping to the ground will make the brush unsanitary and unusable, or if the rod-shaped member is easily damaged, it will be damaged by dropping There was a problem such as.

Therefore, conventionally, in order to securely hold the brush etc. in the container without adopting a complicated structure such as a clasp, a brush etc. is provided by a magnet provided on the brush etc. A structure is proposed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,135,012 that prevents the unintentional falling from the container.
US Pat. No. 5,135,012

  However, because there are various shapes and sizes of brushes, it is difficult for the user to grip the brush etc. by hand, and because the size of the container matched to the brush etc. is small and thin, Sometimes it is difficult to grab by hand. Further, when used in a narrow place, it may be difficult to remove a brush or the like from the container even if the container has a sufficient size. Further, as proposed in the above-mentioned US Pat. No. 5,135,012, in a structure in which a brush or the like is held in a container by magnetic force, it may be difficult to take out the brush or the like from the container.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an automatic upright structure of a rod-shaped member that makes it easy to take out a brush or the like from a container while satisfying the request that the brush or the like is difficult to drop from the container, and to provide a rod-shaped member having such a structure. It is to provide a method that can be easily manufactured.

  In order to achieve the above object, a rod-like member automatic standing structure according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a rod portion having one end and the other end, and a rod-like member having a standing action portion provided on one end side of the rod portion. The rod-shaped member can be accommodated in a lying state, and a mounting surface having a standing operation surface for the standing action portion of the rod-shaped member to perform a standing operation and a lid body capable of opening and closing the opening portion of the mounting surface are provided. A container, and the rising action portion of the rod-shaped member includes a rolling surface capable of rolling in the standing direction of the rod-shaped member on the standing operation surface, and one end of the rod-shaped member more than the rolling surface. The first magnet is provided in a state where the first magnetic pole is directed in one end direction in the vicinity of the standing support surface, and the magnetic force of the first magnetic pole is increased. Acting on the standing support surface, in the vicinity of the standing operation surface, A second magnet or a ferromagnetic body with a second magnetic pole opposite to the first magnetic pole facing upward is provided, and the magnetic force of the second magnetic pole acts on the upright operation surface. The rolling contact surface is caused by a magnetic attractive force between the first magnetic pole of one magnet and the second magnetic pole of the second magnet, or a magnetic attractive force between the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the ferromagnetic material. Has a biasing force that always rotates in the standing direction so that it can automatically roll from the lying position to the standing state by rolling on the standing operation surface, and the lid of the container is It has a standing regulation part which can maintain the above-mentioned bar-like member in a lying state within a mounting surface against the energizing force to the above-mentioned standing direction.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the magnetic attractive force between the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the second magnetic pole of the second magnet, or between the first magnetic pole of the first magnet and the ferromagnetic material. Due to the magnetic attractive force, an urging force that rotates in the standing direction always acts on the rolling surface. When the lid is closed, the movement of the rod-shaped member to rotate in the standing direction by the urging force is suppressed by the rise-up regulating portion of the lid contacting the other end of the rod-shaped member. When the lid of the container is opened from this state, the urging force causes the rolling surface to roll on the standing operation surface, and the rod-shaped member automatically shifts from the lying state to the standing state and stands up. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the rod-shaped member and easily remove it from the container. Further, since the rod-shaped member is adsorbed to the container by the magnetic attractive force, there is little risk of the rod-shaped member falling due to vibration when opening the lid or tilting of the container.

  Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the rod-shaped member having the rod portion having one end and the other end and the standing action portion provided on one end side of the rod portion, and the rod-shaped member can be accommodated in a lying state.

The standing action portion includes a rolling surface capable of rolling in the standing direction of the rod-shaped member on the standing operation surface, and a standing support surface adjacent to the tip of one end side of the rod-shaped member from the rolling surface. A ferromagnetic material is provided in the vicinity of the upright support surface, a second magnet is provided in the vicinity of the upright operation surface, and the magnetic force of the second magnet acts on the upright operation surface. The rod-shaped member is a magnetic member between the ferromagnetic material and the second magnet. Due to the suction force, the rolling surface rolls on the standing operation surface and receives a biasing force that always rotates in the standing direction so that it can automatically shift from the lying state to the standing state. The lid has an upright restricting portion capable of maintaining the rod-like member in a recumbent state within the mounting surface against the urging force in the upright direction when the lid is closed.

Also according to this aspect, the same effect as the first aspect can be obtained.
In addition, in the first or second aspect of the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member according to the third aspect of the present invention, the standing action portion of the rod-shaped member is composed of a spherical or elliptical magnet, and the magnet One of the magnetic pole points having the highest magnetic density is arranged as a first magnetic pole of the first magnet so as to be located immediately below when the rod-shaped member is erected, and around the magnetic pole point that acts as the first magnetic pole. The curved surface is a rolling surface. According to this aspect, since the standing action part is spherical or elliptical, the curved surface extending 360 degrees around the magnetic pole is the rolling surface. Therefore, when the rod-like member is accommodated on the placement surface, the rod-like member can be placed without worrying about the direction of the rod-like member.

  Moreover, the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member which concerns on the 4th aspect of this invention can be opened and closed by the said cover body rotating around the rotating shaft, The said standing operation surface is a lid | cover of the mounting surface mentioned above. The rotation direction when the rod-shaped member shifts from the standing state to the recumbent state is close to the rotation axis of the body, and is the same as the rotation direction from the open state to the closed state of the lid body. It is what. According to this aspect, when the placement surface lid is closed, the upright restricting portion of the lid is brought into contact with the other end of the rod-like member only by rotating the lid slightly downward. Thereafter, by further rotating the lid, the rod-shaped member is also rotated in the same direction to be in a lying state on the mounting surface. Therefore, the user does not need to put a hand to determine the direction in which the rod-shaped member falls, and can move the rod-shaped member from the standing state to the lying state only by closing the lid with one hand.

  Further, in the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member according to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the standing action portion is provided on one end side of the cap, and the other end of the cap conforms to the shape of one end of the rod portion. The opening is formed. According to this aspect, the standing action portion can be provided in a cap which is another member without being provided in the rod-shaped member in advance. Therefore, a bar-shaped member and a cap can be manufactured separately, and this cap can be attached to the bar-shaped member later. For example, if a cap is manufactured in accordance with an existing rod-shaped member such as a cosmetic brush, the automatic standing structure of the present invention can be retrofitted to the existing rod-shaped member.

  Moreover, the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member which concerns on the 6th aspect of this invention WHEREIN: In the said 1st and 3rd-5th aspect, a 1st rod-shaped member, a 2nd rod-shaped member, The first and second upright operation surfaces are formed for the first and second rod-shaped members, and the first and second upright operation surfaces are provided for each of the upright operation surfaces. When the upright action portions of the first and second rod-shaped members are located on the surface, the magnets in the first rod-shaped member and the magnets in the second rod-shaped member are separated so as not to attract each other. It is characterized by that. When the two rod-shaped members are placed on the placement surface in a state where the magnet in the first rod-shaped member and the magnet in the second rod-shaped member are close to each other, the magnets of the two rod-shaped members are attracted to each other, as described above. In some cases, the automatic standing action of the rod-like member is not exhibited. According to this aspect, since the two standing operation surfaces are separated to the extent that the magnets of the two rod-shaped members are not attracted to each other, the rod-shaped members stand independently without interfering with each other when the lid is opened. be able to. Therefore, when using each bar-shaped member, the user can take out the two types of bar-shaped members smoothly without confusion.

  Moreover, the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member according to the seventh aspect of the present invention is the above-described sixth aspect, wherein the first rod-shaped member and the second rod-shaped member shift from the standing state to the lying state. In some cases, they rotate relative to each other toward the other rod-shaped member. According to this aspect, since the one end side of the 1st rod-shaped member and the 2nd rod-shaped member can be arrange | positioned at the both ends of a mounting surface, respectively, the mounting surface storage space of two rod-shaped members is minimized. Can do.

  Moreover, the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member according to the eighth aspect of the present invention includes a rod-shaped member including a rod portion having one end and the other end, and a standing action portion provided at one end of the rod portion, a mounting surface, A container including a lid that can open and close a surface facing the placement surface, wherein the standing action portion includes a first magnet having a part of a spherical surface or an elliptical surface, The first magnet is attached to one end of the rod such that a part of the spherical surface or an ellipsoidal surface faces the mounting surface when the rod-shaped member stands, and the mounting surface includes the rod-shaped member. Has a standing motion surface that performs a standing motion and a second magnet that exerts a magnetic force in the vicinity of the standing motion surface, and the first magnet and the second magnet have the rod-shaped member standing on the standing motion surface. The magnetic poles facing each other are different, and the magnetic force between the first magnet and the second magnet Due to the attractive force, the rod-shaped member exerts an urging force so as to always rotate in the standing direction so that it can automatically shift from the lying state to the standing state, and when the lid is opened, the rod-shaped member is The rod-like member can be maintained in a lying state in the container against the urging force when standing and closing the lid.

  According to this aspect, the urging force that rotates in the standing direction always acts on the rolling surface by the magnetic attractive force between the first magnet and the second magnet. When the lid is closed, the movement of the rod-shaped member to rotate in the standing direction by the urging force is suppressed by the rise-up regulating portion of the lid contacting the other end of the rod-shaped member. When the lid of the container is opened from this state, the urging force causes the rolling surface to roll on the standing operation surface, and the rod-shaped member automatically shifts from the lying state to the standing state and stands up. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the rod-shaped member and easily remove it from the container. Further, since the rod-shaped member is adsorbed to the container by the magnetic attractive force, there is little risk of the rod-shaped member falling due to vibration when opening the lid or tilting of the container. Further, since the standing action part has a part of a spherical surface or an ellipsoidal surface, a curved surface extending 360 degrees around the magnetic pole is a rolling surface. Therefore, when the rod-like member is accommodated on the placement surface, the rod-like member can be placed without worrying about the direction of the rod-like member.

  A method of manufacturing the rod-shaped member according to the ninth aspect of the present invention is a method of attaching the first magnet to one end of the rod-shaped member, and when the rod-shaped member stands on the standing support surface, Preparing a work surface having a magnetic pole opposite to the magnetic pole of the first magnet facing two magnets, and placing a first magnet having a part of a spherical surface or an ellipsoid on the work surface in a natural state And a step of bringing one end side of the rod part into contact with the upper surface side of the first magnet from directly above the first magnet placed on the work surface and bonding with an adhesive. It is.

  According to this aspect, when the first magnet is naturally placed on the prepared work surface, the magnetic pole of the first magnet that attracts the upward magnetic pole of the work surface is naturally downward. Therefore, by sticking one end of the rod to the upper surface of the first magnet with an adhesive or the like in this state, a rod-like member with the first magnet can be easily created.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state where an automatic upright structure of a bar-shaped member according to the present invention is applied to a compact case 1 for makeup. The compact case 1 for makeup is used mainly by women when they go out, and includes a case body 3 corresponding to a container and a makeup brush 5 corresponding to a rod-shaped member.

  The case main body 3 includes a base 7 and a lid 11 that is connected to the base 7 so as to be rotatable around the rotation shaft 9. As shown in FIG. 11 is rotated approximately 90 degrees to bring the upper surface side of the base 7, that is, the open portion 8 into an open state, and when not in use, the cover 11 is rotated in the direction indicated by arrow B to form the cover 11. The lid 11 can be maintained in a closed state by snapping the locking piece 13 to a locking lock portion 15 formed on the base 7.

  On the upper surface side of the base 7, a makeup pad 17 is provided near the rotation shaft 9, and a mounting surface 19 for housing the makeup brush 5 is provided on the locking lock portion 15 side. Further, a mirror 21 is provided on the surface of the lid 11 on the spread side. Incidentally, such a compact case for cosmetics 1 itself is known in the art, and the cosmetic powder solidified in the cosmetic pad 17 by the user using the cosmetic brush 5 is applied to the brush portion of the cosmetic brush 5. It is also known in the art to take 29 and apply it to the face.

  The characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described below. The feature of the present invention is that when the lid 11 is opened, the cosmetic brush 5 accommodated in the placement surface 19 automatically stands as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, in order to describe a configuration for producing such an action, in this specification, a state in which the cosmetic brush 5 is accommodated in a state substantially parallel to the placement surface 19 is referred to as a “recumbent state”. The state in which the makeup brush 5 is turned up from the lying state will be referred to as the “standing state”. The recumbent state does not necessarily mean a horizontal state. In addition, the standing state does not mean only a state where it is turned 90 degrees from the recumbent state, but it is turned within the range of, for example, 10 degrees to 90 degrees from the recumbent state, and the end portion is lifted on the rod-shaped member. It is a concept that includes a state.

  Cylindrical magnets 23 are provided below the placement surface 19 of the base 7 at both left and right ends when viewed from the front. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cylindrical magnet 23 is built in the thick portion on the lower side of the mounting surface 19, and the N pole 24 of the cylindrical magnet 23 is located above, that is, the mounting surface 19. It is arranged to face the side. In the present invention, the N pole of the cylindrical magnet 23 has a range on the mounting surface 19 (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1) in which the S pole of another magnet or a ferromagnetic material can be attracted. Define. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical magnets 23 are provided at both ends of the mounting surface 19, and a configuration in which two upright operation surfaces 25 are formed corresponding to the cylindrical magnets 23 is adopted. This is because, when the brush 5 is stored again on the mounting surface 19 after use, the standing brush 5 can stand up even if the user stores the cosmetic brush 5 in any direction. . Therefore, if such convenience is not taken into consideration, the configuration may be such that the cylindrical magnet 23 is provided only at one end of the mounting surface 19. In the present embodiment, the cylindrical magnet 23 corresponds to a second magnet, and the N pole of the cylindrical magnet 23 corresponds to a second magnetic pole. The shape of the magnet corresponding to the second magnet may be any shape other than a cylindrical shape, and the position where such a magnet is provided may be on the placement surface, directly below the placement surface, the back side of the case body 3, and the like. Any location where a magnetic force acts on the standing operation surface can be used.

  The makeup brush 5 includes a rod portion 27 having one end and the other end, a brush portion 29 formed on the other end side of the rod portion 27, and a spherical magnet 31 corresponding to a first magnet. The spherical magnet 31 is bonded to one end side of the rod portion 27 using an adhesive 33 so that the south pole faces directly below in the standing state. The S pole of the spherical magnet 31 corresponds to the first magnetic pole of the first magnet. Since the lower half side of the spherical magnet 31 is a hemispherical surface when the cosmetic brush 5 is in the standing state, the hemispherical surface rolls when the cosmetic brush 5 shifts from the lying state to the standing state. A surface that causes a rolling action between the recumbent state and the standing state is referred to as a rolling surface 32 in the present invention. In the present embodiment, all the lower hemispherical surfaces in the standing state of the cosmetic brush 5 can be rolling surfaces.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the makeup brush 5 is in the standing state, the portion where the spherical magnet 31 is in contact with the standing operation surface 25 and supports the makeup brush 5 is particularly called “standing support” in the present invention. It will be referred to as “surface 35”. In this embodiment, since the spherical magnet 31 is used, the standing support surface 35 theoretically exists in a dot shape. However, when the standing state of the cosmetic brush 5 is desired to be stabilized, the standing support surface 35 is provided. It may be flat. In the present invention, the standing support surface 35 is positioned adjacent to the rolling surface 32 closer to the tip on the one end side of the cosmetic brush 5 than the rolling surface 32.

  As described above, the cosmetic brush 5 is used for the rolling operation from the recumbent state to the standing state due to the presence of the rolling surface 32 and the spherical magnet 31 that acts so as to be attracted to the cylindrical magnet 23 that acts on the standing operation surface. Due to the magnet attracting action, a biasing force that automatically rotates from the recumbent state to the standing state, that is, in the standing direction is received. In the present invention, the portion of the rod-shaped member that generates a magnet attracting action between the above-described rolling operation and the magnet on the upright operation surface side is referred to as an “erection action portion 34”.

  As shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1, on the spread surface of the lid body 11, that is, the surface on which the mirror 21 is provided, an upright restricting portion 37 is formed on the upper right portion of the mirror 21 and its periphery. When the lid 11 is closed as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the standing restriction portion 37 puts the cosmetic brush 5 on the placement surface 19 against the urging force of the cosmetic brush 5 in the standing direction. It is a surface that acts to maintain a recumbent state.

  The cosmetic compact case 1 has the configuration as described above. Hereinafter, the operation of the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member of the present invention will be described while explaining the usage state of the cosmetic compact case 1.

  When the compact case 1 for makeup is not in use, the lid 11 is rotated on the opening 8 of the base 7 and is in a closed state as shown in FIG. At this time, the makeup brush 5 is in a lying state on the mounting surface 19 with the erection action portion 34 positioned on the erection operation surface 25, and the above-mentioned rolling operation and the magnet on the erection operation surface side The movement to automatically rotate in the standing direction caused by the magnet attracting action between the two is restricted by the presence of the standing restricting portion 37 of the lid 11.

  When the user starts to open the lid 11 from this state as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the restriction on the movement of the makeup brush 5 in the standing direction by the standing restriction portion 37 is released, and the makeup brush 5 is automatically Get up in the standing direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 3C and 2, when the lid body 11 is rotated approximately 90 degrees to the open state, the cosmetic brush 5 is brought into a substantially vertical state by the urging force in the standing direction of the cosmetic brush 5. Stand up. At this time, since the S pole 36 of the spherical magnet 31 faces the N pole 24 of the cylindrical magnet 23 and is in an attracted state by the mutual magnetic force, vibration when the lid 11 is opened, shaking of the makeup brush 5 due to standing operation, etc. Even if this occurs, the cosmetic brush 5 is prevented from being accidentally dropped from the placement surface 19.

  If it will be in the state shown in FIG.3 (c), since the user can pick up the cosmetic brush 5 with a finger easily, it can take out the cosmetic brush 5 from the mounting surface 19, and can use it suitably. After the user uses the cosmetic brush 5, if the lid 11 is rotated on the placement surface 19 with the finger pressed against the cosmetic brush 5 so as to be closed, the state shown in FIG. It can be returned to the unused state shown. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the two standing operation surfaces 25 are formed at both ends of the mounting surface 19, the cosmetic brush 5 is mounted on the mounting surface 19 in any direction. You may make it.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of the automatic standing structure of the rod-shaped member of this invention was described, this invention can take various embodiment besides this. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the magnetic poles of the S pole 36 of the spherical magnet 31 and the N pole 24 of the cylindrical magnet 23 may be changed, or the magnets on the placement surface 19 side or the standing action portion 34 side may be changed. One may be replaced with a ferromagnetic material. When the mounting surface 19 side is replaced with a ferromagnetic material, the range in which the standing action portion 34 can be attracted on the placement surface 19 by the action of the magnet on the standing action portion 34 side becomes the standing operation surface 25.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the standing operation surface 25 can be disposed at an end portion of the mounting surface 19 near the rotation shaft 9. According to such an embodiment, since the rotation direction when the cosmetic brush 5 shifts from the standing state to the recumbent state becomes the same as the rotation direction when the lid body 11 is closed, the lid body 11 starts to close. Then, the standing restricting portion 37 of the lid body 11 comes into contact with the cosmetic brush 5, and the cosmetic brush 5 rotates in the same direction as the lid body 11 to be in a lying state on the placement surface 19. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to press the makeup brush 5 with a finger at the start of closing of the lid 11 in order to determine the rotation direction.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 (b), the makeup | decoration brush 5a and the makeup | decoration chip | tip 5b can be accommodated side by side. In this case, the standing operation surface 25 a for the makeup brush 5 a is disposed on one end side of the placement surface 19, and the standing operation surface 25 b for the makeup chip 5 b is disposed on the other end side of the placement surface 19. Since the standing motion surface 25a and the standing motion surface 25b are arranged apart from each other in this manner, the spherical magnet 31a of the cosmetic brush 5a and the spherical magnet 31b of the cosmetic tip 5b are not attracted to each other by magnetic force. The standing operation can be performed without any trouble when the door is opened.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 (c), the standing operation surface 25 can be provided in the member of the side which turns and rises. In this example, for the sake of convenience, the member that rotates and opens upward is referred to as the base 7, and the member that is in the horizontal state when rotated is referred to as the lid 11. In this example, the mounting surfaces 19a and 19b are respectively formed on the left side and the right side of the base 7 that rises by rotating when viewed from the front, and the standing operation surfaces 25a and 25b are locking pieces of the mounting surfaces 19a and 19b. It is formed at an end close to 13. Thus, in this invention, the mounting surface and the standing operation surface are formed on the side of the member that is rotated and opened, and the rod-like member includes a form in which the rod-like member shifts from the lying state to the standing state on the opening member side.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, various forms of the standing action portion 34 provided on one end side of the rod 27 can be considered. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the standing action portion 34 is configured by a magnet 38 having a shape in which the upper and lower surfaces form a spherical surface or a part of an ellipsoid, and the periphery between the upper and lower surfaces is a cylindrical shape. You may be made to do. Moreover, as shown in FIG.5 (b), the shape which flattens the standing support surface 35 of the spherical magnet 31 may be sufficient.

  Further, in another embodiment of the standing action portion 34 shown in FIG. 5C, the rolling direction restriction is substantially fan-shaped in a side view having the rolling surface 32 that can roll only in one direction instead of the spherical magnet 31. A member 40 is provided, and a magnet 42 is provided inside the lower end of the rolling direction regulating member 40 with the south pole facing downward. In such an embodiment, the direction in which the cosmetic brush 5 rotates from the recumbent state to the standing state is specified, and the direction of the cosmetic brush 5 on the placement surface 19 is also specified.

  Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 (d), the standing action portion 34 is not provided in advance at one end of the cosmetic brush 5, but as a form of a cap 39 that is adapted to the shape of one end of the cosmetic brush 5 as a separate member. Create it. That is, the rolling surface 32 is formed on the lower end side of the cap 39, and the magnet 43 is stored at the inner lower end of the cap with the south pole facing downward. By inserting such a cap 39 into one end of the cosmetic brush 5, the standing action portion 34 is formed at one end of the cosmetic brush 5. Thus, by making the standing action part 34 into the form of a cap, a cap can be attached to one end side of the other stick-shaped member which is the existing cosmetic brush, and the standing action part 34 can be easily given to the stick-shaped member. .

  The automatic standing structure of the bar-shaped member of the present invention has been described above by taking the cosmetic compact case 1 as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to various containers that accommodate the bar-shaped member. For example, when the pencil case is opened, the writing instrument accommodated therein may be raised from the lying state. In addition to the cosmetic brush, the rod-shaped member includes various articles such as a writing instrument and a toothbrush that are easily held by the user by standing in the container. Further, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, the lid body 11 is a pivoting type. However, the lid body 11 is not necessarily a pivoting type.
