Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid cosmetic application container including an applicator for applying liquid cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, lip gloss and the like.

  Conventionally, as a liquid cosmetic application container provided with a cosmetic application body for applying liquid cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, lip gloss, etc., a cosmetic application body such as a brush or a brush is provided at one end of the shaft body. A liquid cosmetic application comprising a liquid applicator and a container body containing the liquid cosmetic, the cosmetic applicator body of the applicator can be inserted into the container main body, and the applicator also serves as a removable cap on the mouth of the container main body Container is used.

  In such a liquid application container, in order to adjust the amount of the liquid cosmetic adhering to the cosmetic application body when the applicator is extracted from the container main body, the inner wall of the mouth of the container main body is made of rubber or thermoplastic. An ironing member formed of an elastic body is provided around. However, if a squeezing member is provided at the mouth of the container body, a so-called pumping phenomenon occurs in which the pressure in the container body increases when the applicator is inserted into the container body and the applicator is pushed back. There is a problem that it sometimes becomes difficult to remove the applicator due to the negative pressure. In view of this, it has been proposed to form a groove on the contact surface of the liquid amount adjusting member provided at the mouth of the container body with the cosmetic applicator (Patent Document 1).

  In addition, in order to ensure that excess liquid cosmetics adhered to the cosmetics application body are securely ground, a U-shaped ironing member having a cross-section and a ironing member having a cross slit are provided double (Patent Document 2), and a dial. It has been proposed (Patent Document 3) to adjust the internal dimension of the liquid amount adjusting member with a throttle of the type.

  However, in the conventional liquid cosmetic application container, even though the overall amount of liquid cosmetic adhesion on the cosmetic application body pulled out from the container body can be adjusted, excessively adhering to the lower end portion of the cosmetic application body. It is difficult to remove the liquid cosmetic referred to as “tetsu”.

  Therefore, the user of the liquid cosmetic application container pulls out the applicator from the container main body, and then rubs the cosmetic application body on the mouth of the container main body to remove excess liquid cosmetic. When the cosmetic application body is rubbed against the mouth of the main body, the mouth becomes dirty with liquid cosmetic, and even if an applicator is inserted into the container body to close the cap, the cap becomes difficult to fit or the sealing performance decreases. There is a problem that.

  On the other hand, an object of this invention is to provide the liquid cosmetics application container which can eliminate a stickiness.

  The inventor acts like a lever by pulling out the applicator, and when a lever member is provided in the container body to remove the sticking of the cosmetic application body, the cosmetic application body is pulled out from the container body. I found out that I was able to solve the problem.

That is, the present invention includes an applicator having a cosmetic applicator at one end of a shaft body and a container main body in which liquid cosmetic is accommodated, the cosmetic applicator is inserted into the container main body, and the applicator is the container main body. A liquid cosmetic application container that is detachably attached to the mouth,
A lever member swingably mounted in the container body,
The lever member has a protruding portion protruding toward the central axis of the container body,
When the applicator is pulled out from the container body, the applicator displaces the protruding portion of the lever member in the outer peripheral direction of the container body, so that the lever member swings and adheres to the lower end of the cosmetic applicator. A liquid cosmetic application container is provided.

  According to the liquid cosmetic applicator of the present invention, when the applicator is pulled out of the container body, the applicator displaces the protruding portion of the lever member in the container body in the outer peripheral direction of the container body, and thereby the lever member is shaken. The liquid cosmetic sticking to the lower end portion of the cosmetic applicator is moved to remove the sticking from the applicator pulled out from the container body.

  Further, when the protruding portion of the lever member is displaced in the outer peripheral direction of the container main body, a gap is formed to allow communication between the inside and the outside of the container main body, so that the applicator is not easily pulled out by the negative pressure in the container main body.

  Furthermore, since the shaft body of the applicator can be wiped with the protruding portion of the lever member, the shaft body of the applicator can be prevented from being stained with the liquid cosmetic.

  In addition, if the lever member is formed of an elastic body, and the protrusion amount of the lever member is adjusted so that it functions as the ironing portion of the cosmetic application body, it is not necessary to provide a separate ironing member, and cost performance Will improve.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, in each figure, the same code | symbol represents the same or equivalent component.

  FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the action of the lever member 30A from the state in which the applicator 10 is inserted into the container body 20 to the state in which the applicator 10 is pulled out, which is a liquid cosmetic application container 1A according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2A to 2D are enlarged sectional views in the vicinity of the lever member 30A in the middle of pulling out the applicator 10 from the container body 20, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view (a) and a sectional view (b) of the lever member 30A. (C).

  This liquid cosmetic applicator container 1A has a cosmetic applicator 12 at one end of a shaft 11, and an applicator 10 having a grip 13 at the other end, and liquid such as mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, and lip gloss. A container body 20 in which cosmetics are stored is provided.

  The applicator 10 is inserted into the inside of the container body 20 from the mouth and becomes a cap of the container body 20, and is detachably attached to the mouth of the container body 20.

  Inside the container main body 20, a lever member 30A shown in FIG. The lever member 30A is formed of a rigid plastic material and has a pair of opposed strip-shaped members 31a and 31b. Each of the strip-shaped members 31a and 31b is a semi-annular type in which the upper part is fitted to the mouth of the container body 20, and the lower part is a substantially strip shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the container body 20, and the container body 20 is closer to the upper part. It has the protrusion part 32 which protruded toward the center axis | shaft. Each of the strip-shaped members 31 a and 31 b has a bent portion 33 a that protrudes toward the central axis of the container body 20 at the lower end portion 33. Here, the distance between the bent portions 33a facing each other is such that the cosmetic applicator 12 passes therethrough so that the liquid cosmetic excessively attached to the cosmetic applicator 12 can be removed to some extent. When 12 is comprised from the flocking brush, it is set as the minimum diameter at the time of pushing the cosmetics application body 12 in the diameter direction in the state (FIG. 1 (a)) which the lever member 30A is not rock | fluctuated. It is preferable.

  The lever member 30A has a rib-like portion 34 that protrudes in a curved manner in the outer circumferential direction of the container body 20 in the cross section of the lever member 30A (FIG. 3B) on the side surface between the protruding portion 32 and the bent portion 33a. The rib-like portion 34 is rotatably engaged with the inner wall of the container body 20. Moreover, as shown in FIG.3 (c), the junction part 34a of the rib-shaped members 34 of a pair of strip-shaped members 31a and 31b can be rotated.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the projecting portion 32 is pressed and displaced in the outer peripheral direction of the container body 20 as indicated by an arrow, the lever member 30A becomes a rib-like portion 34 as indicated by a broken line in FIG. With the fulcrum as a fulcrum, the lower end 33 is displaced in the direction of the arrow as shown by a broken line and operates like a lever.

  On the other hand, the shaft 11 of the applicator 10 is provided with a convex portion 14 above the cosmetic applicator 12. The diameter of the convex portion 14 is larger than the diameter of the cosmetic applicator 12, the diameter of most of the shaft body 11 other than the convex portion 14, and the inner dimension of the protruding portion 32 facing the lever member 30 </ b> A. It has become. Then, when the applicator 10 is pulled out of the container main body 20, if the convex portion 14 passes between the opposing protruding portions 32 of the lever member 30 </ b> A, the protruding portion 32 opposed to the convex portion 14 becomes the outer periphery of the container main body 20. The lower end 33 of the lever member 30 is swung as will be described later. Further, the diameter of most of the shaft body 11 and the diameter of the cosmetic application body 12 are also formed larger than the inner dimensions of the pair of protrusions 32, but the shaft body between the convex portion 14 and the cosmetic application body 12. 11 is formed with a small-diameter portion 15 that is thinner than the inner dimensions of the pair of protrusions 32.

  In addition, as a kind of cosmetics application body 12, various aspects can be taken, for example, it can be set as a flocking brush type, a shaping | molding brush type, a chip type, a brush type, a comb type, a coil type etc. The shape of the cosmetic application body 12 can be a straight type, a shell type, a taper type, a peanut type, a Tyco type, etc. Bending may be performed.

  In this liquid cosmetic applicator container 1A, the lever member 30 acts as follows during use to remove excess liquid cosmetic adhering to the shaft body 11 and the cosmetic applicator 12, and the cosmetic applicator 12 The sticking that accumulates at the lower end 12a is removed, and the usability of the applicator 10 is improved.

  That is, when the applicator 10 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 1B from the state where the applicator 10 is mounted on the container body 20 as shown in FIG. 1A, the protruding portion 32 of the lever member 30A is shown in FIG. 2A. Is in sliding contact with the shaft body 11 of the applicator 10. Thereby, the excess liquid cosmetics adhering to the shaft body 11 can be removed. In addition, when the distance between the bent portions 33a is smaller than the diameter of the cosmetic applicator 12, excess liquid cosmetic adhering to the cosmetic applicator 12 can be removed.

  Subsequently, when the applicator 10 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the stress of the protruding portion 32 of the lever member 30A is released at the small diameter portion 15 as shown in FIG. 2B, and negative pressure caused by pulling out the applicator 10 is prevented. it can.

  Further, when the applicator 10 is pulled out as shown in FIG. 1D, the convex portion 14 of the shaft body 11 presses the protruding portion 32 of the lever member 30A toward the outer periphery of the container body 20, and the rib-like portion as shown in FIG. 2C. The bent portion 33a of the lower end portion 33 of the lever member 30A swings toward the central axis of the container body 20 with the fulcrum 34 as a fulcrum, and abuts directly below the lower end portion 12a of the cosmetic applicator 12 of the container body. Accordingly, it is possible to remove the lip caused on the lower end portion 12a of the cosmetic application body 12. At this time, the swinging movement of the lever member 30A opens the contact portions above the protrusions 32 of the pair of strip-shaped members 31a and 31b constituting the lever member 30A, as shown by a broken line in FIG. Therefore, the negative pressure in the container body 20 due to the withdrawal of the applicator 10 is eliminated. Therefore, the applicator 10 is not easily pulled out by the negative pressure in the container body 20.

  When the applicator 10 is further pulled out as shown in FIG. 1 (e), the protruding portion 32 of the lever member 30A squeezes the cosmetic applicator 12 as shown in FIG. 2D, and excess liquid cosmetic adhering to the cosmetic applicator 12 is obtained. Can be removed.

  Therefore, the applicator 10 pulled out from the container main body 20 as shown in FIG. 1 (f) has a liquid cosmetic material appropriately attached to the cosmetic applicator 12 and has no stickiness, and is easy to use.

  The liquid cosmetic application container of the present invention can take various forms.

  For example, in the liquid cosmetic application container 1B of FIG. 4, the lever member 30B has a protruding portion 32, a lower end portion provided with a bent portion 33a, and a rib-like portion 34, similar to the liquid cosmetic application container 1A described above. However, the lever member 30B is formed from an elastic body. Thereby, when the applicator 10 is attached to the container main body 20, the applicator 10 is pulled out, and when the convex portion 14 of the shaft body 11 presses the protruding portion 32 of the lever member 30A in the outer peripheral direction of the container main body 20, As shown in FIG. 4, the lever member 30B bends, the lower end portion 33 of the lever member 30B swings toward the central axis of the container body 20 with the rib-shaped portion 34 as a fulcrum, and the bent portion 33a of the lower end portion 33 It contacts just under the lower end part 12a of the coating material body 12. Accordingly, it is possible to remove the lip caused on the lower end portion 12a of the cosmetic application body 12.

  Further, since the lever member 30B is formed of an elastic body, the protruding portion 32 squeezes the cosmetic applicator 12 and removes excess liquid crystal cosmetic adhering to the cosmetic applicator 12 (FIG. 1 (e )) Can be improved.

  The liquid cosmetic applicator container 1C shown in FIG. 5 is provided with the ironing member 21 below the lever member 30B of the liquid cosmetic applicator container 1B described above. Here, the ironing member 21 is a known ironing member such as a plate-like member made of an elastic body with a hole having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the cosmetic application body 12 or a radial slit formed in the hole. The member 21 can be used.

  By providing the ironing member 21 in this way, when the applicator 10 is pulled out from the container body 20, as shown in FIG. As shown in (b), since the lower end portion 33a of the cosmetic material applying body 12 can be removed with the lower end portion 33 of the lever member 30B, it is possible to more effectively remove the stickiness.

  The liquid cosmetic applicator container 1D of FIG. 6 omits the convex portion 14 of the shaft body 11 from the liquid cosmetic applicator container 1A of FIG. 1, increases the outer diameter of the cosmetic applicator body 12, and protrudes the lever member 30C. The distance L between 32 and the lower end 33 is shortened. Also in this liquid cosmetic application container 1D, as shown in FIG. 6A, when the applicator 10 is pulled out, the protruding portion 32 of the lever member 30C is in sliding contact with the shaft body 11 and is attached to the shaft body 11. It is preferable to enable removal of liquid cosmetics. Further, when the cosmetic applicator 12 passes through the protrusion 32 of the lever member 30C, as shown in FIG. 6B, the upper shoulder 12b of the cosmetic applicator 12 connects the protrusion 32 of the lever member 30C to the container. The lower end 33 of the lever member 30C swings toward the central axis of the container main body 20 with the rib-shaped portion 34 as a fulcrum, and the lower end 12a of the cosmetic applicator 12 is the lever. Immediately after passing through the lower end 33 of the member 30C, as shown in FIG. Thus, when the convex part 14 of the shaft body 11 is omitted and the outer diameter of the cosmetic application body 12 is increased so that the protrusion 32 of the lever member is pressed by the cosmetic application body 12, the container body 20 While the applicator 10 is pulled out, the cosmetic applicator 12 is squeezed by the protrusion 32 and the lower end 33 of the lever member 30 </ b> C, so that excess liquid cosmetic can be removed from the cosmetic applicator 12. Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), after the bottom end 12a of the cosmetic applicator 12 is rubbed and removed, the lower end 12a of the cosmetic applicator 12 is the protruding portion of the lever member 30C. Since the distance L to pass through 32 is short, it is possible to prevent the bottom end portion 12a of the cosmetic applicator 12 from dropping again during that time.

  The lever member 30D of FIG. 7 moves like a lever by pressing only the one of the members 31a of the pair of strip-shaped members 31a and 31b constituting the lever member 30a in the outer peripheral direction of the container body, The lower end portion 33 is designed to remove the bottom end portion of the cosmetic application body.

  By moving only one member 31a of the pair of strip-shaped members 31a and 31b, the user can insert and remove the applicator along the other member 31b that does not move. It can correct so that 10 may not incline with respect to an axial direction. In this aspect, in order to make the movable range of the lever member sufficient, the burden on the moving member 31a increases. From the viewpoint of preventing this burden, the lever member is as shown in the aspect of FIG. It is preferable to comprise a pair of strip-shaped members 31a and 31b.

  As shown in FIG. 8 (a), the lever member 30E of FIG. 8 is composed of four strip-shaped members 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d, and protruding portions of the members 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d. When 32 is pressed by the applicator in the outer peripheral direction of the container body, the lower end portion 33 of each member 31a, 31b, 31c, 31d is inclined upward with the rib-shaped portion 34 as a fulcrum as shown in FIG. The side 36 is displaced and gathers directly below the lower end of the cosmetic applicator, and the stick attached thereto is removed.

  In this way, by scraping the sides 36 of the component parts of the lever member 30E, it is possible to prevent the application of the cosmetic application body from being crushed and prevented from being sticky at the same portion of the lever member 30E.

  The lever member 30F in FIG. 9 is formed of an elastic body. The lever member 30F has double cylindrical bodies 37a and 37b at the top, which are continuous at the upper end. Further, a protruding portion 32 is formed on the inner cylindrical body 37a.

  The lever member 30F is bent as shown by the broken line in FIG. 5B when the protruding portion 32 is pressed in the outer peripheral direction of the container main body as shown by the arrow by the applicator, and the lower end portion 33 thereof swings. Remove the bottom of the coating material.

  In this lever member 30F, the inner cylindrical body 37a is not provided with a portion that engages with the container main body, and the outer cylindrical body 37b is provided with a rib-like portion 39 that engages with the container main body. Yes. Thereby, the lever member 30F can be prevented from coming off from the container main body.

  The lever member 30G in FIG. 10 is also formed from an elastic body. This lever member 30G has double cylindrical bodies 37a and 37b, and an inner cylindrical body 37a is located in the middle in the vertical direction of the outer cylindrical body 37b, and an upper portion of the inner cylindrical body 37a. The inner cylindrical body 37a and the outer cylindrical body 37b are connected to each other at the connecting portion 38 at the side. In addition, an inward protruding portion 32 is formed at the upper end portion of the inner cylindrical body 37a. As shown in FIG. 6B, in this lever member 30G, the protruding portion 32 is pressed in the outer peripheral direction as shown by an arrow by an applicator, so that the inner cylindrical body 37a is connected by a broken line. The lower end 33 is bent toward the central axis of the lever member 30G, and the lower end of the cosmetic applicator is attached to the bottom.

  In this case, since the distance L between the protrusion 32 and the lower end 33 is formed shorter than the length of the application body, the cosmetic application body 1D is similar to the liquid cosmetic application container 1D of FIG. After the bottling is paid directly below the lower end, the lower end of the cosmetic applicator is again applied to the lower end of the cosmetic applicator before the lower end of the cosmetic applicator passes through the protrusion 32 of the lever member 30G. Can be prevented.

  Similarly to the lever member 30F in FIG. 9, the lever member 30G in FIG. 10 is not provided with a portion that engages with the container body in the inner cylindrical body 37a, and the outer cylindrical body 37b has a container. Since the rib-like portion 39 that engages with the main body is provided, the lever member 30G can be prevented from coming off from the container main body.

  Of the lever members described above, in the embodiments 30A to 30E in which the strip-shaped members 31a and 31b of the lever member swing with the rib-shaped portion 34 as a fulcrum, the lever member is pulled out when the applicator 10 is pulled out from the container body 20. In order to prevent this, in the joint portion 34a where the strip members 31a and 31b of the lever member are engaged with each other, the sliding surface is not a spherical surface. For example, as shown in FIG. P may be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the applicator 10. 11 is a cross-sectional view in which the lever member is longitudinally cut at the joint 34a, as in FIG. 3C, and FIG. 12A is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the joint 34a. From these figures, when the strip-shaped members 31a and 31b are swung and the joint portion 34a is rotated as shown by an arrow, the container body side end of the rib-shaped portion 34 and the portion P that becomes a fulcrum at the time of swinging are shown. Since the horizontal distance from S0 increases to S1, the side surface of the rib-like portion 34 is pressed against the inner wall of the container body as indicated by the arrow Q. Accordingly, the lever member can be prevented from coming off. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), when the sliding surface of the joint portion 34a is a spherical surface, the strip-shaped member swings, and the joint portion 34a rotates as shown by an arrow. Since the horizontal distance between the end of the portion 34 on the container body side and the portion P that becomes a fulcrum when swinging is reduced from S0 to S1, the fitting between the lever member and the container body becomes loose.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 13, in the joint portion 34 a of the lever member, one side 34 aa that engages with each other may be formed into a disk shape, and a drop prevention member 40 may be provided. Thereby, the operation | movement of the bearing by the junction part 34a can be suppressed to a single direction.

  The present invention is useful as an application container for various liquid cosmetics such as mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, and lip gloss.
