Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] In this invention, an applicator attached to a cap is inserted into the container body, and the applicator is attached by removing the cap and removing the applicator. Make-up can be applied directly with mascara.

[Prior Art] Cosmetic mascara containers are widely known in which an applicator with an applicator brush at the tip of the shaft protrudes from the cap, and when the cap is attached to the container body, the applicator is inserted into the container body. It is being

In such a cosmetic mascara container, when the cap is attached, the applicator brush is immersed in mascara housed in the container body, and when the cap is removed and the applicator is removed, mascara adheres to the applicator brush and is taken out. It is very convenient to use as it can be applied directly to the eyelashes.

However, mascara generally weighs 300 to 3000g/
It has a wide range of viscosities on the order of cm/s, and those with high viscosity will adhere to the applicator in an unnecessarily large amount. For this reason, it has been considered that a handling member such as an inner stopper is attached to the mouth of the container to remove the excess mascara and leave the required amount of mascara to be applied, but with high viscosity mascara, the handling member is It is not possible to remove a large amount of mascara by just passing it through the applicator once, leaving only a small amount, especially when you want to apply a thin layer of mascara, so you have to pass it multiple times to remove the excess mascara.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, adjusting the amount of mascara deposited by moving the applicator in and out of the member multiple times is cumbersome to operate, and it is easy to keep the amount of mascara constant. Not only is it extremely difficult to handle, but when the applicator is directed back into the container and passed through the handling member, a large amount of mascara that is discarded adheres to the outside of the handling member, and this re-adheres to the removed applicator. , or it solidifies as it is and narrows the through hole formed in the center of the handling member, preventing the applicator from passing through, or making it difficult to attach and detach the cap.
Furthermore, there are problems such as unsanitary conditions.

It is also possible to solve the above problem by forming the through hole of the handling member sufficiently narrow in advance and allowing a certain amount of mascara to adhere to the applicator in one handling, but this would significantly limit the amount of mascara that adheres. The disadvantage is that the mascara cannot be applied thickly or thinly according to the user's preference, or that it is difficult to handle because it creates a large resistance to the passage of the applicator.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and the reason is that the rate at which highly viscous mascara adhering to the applicator is removed by the handling member depends on the amount of mascara adhering to the applicator before being removed. A first handling member with a variable removal capacity removes a predetermined amount according to the required amount, and then the desired amount of mascara is deposited by passing the mascara through a second handling member with a constant removal capacity. This was developed with the focus on the fact that the applicator can be removed with a predetermined amount of mascara, and by simply removing the cap and pulling it out, a predetermined amount of mascara can be deposited on the applicator, and the amount of mascara deposited can be easily changed according to preference. To provide a cosmetic mascara container which can be used for cosmetics and which is free from inconveniences such as solidification of mascara that has been handled.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the cosmetic mascara container according to the present invention has a cylinder having a rotary knob connected to the bottom end and a guide hole at the top that decreases toward the top end. an outer cylinder having a fixed handling member having a continuous through hole at the top end of the guide hole; and a cylindrical container in which mascara is housed and which is screwed to the rotary knob; having a plurality of elastic protrusions that are arranged in a cylindrical shape and fit into the guide hole and are in contact with the hole wall; a variable handling member provided at the top end of the cylindrical member; An applicator having an applicator brush protrudes from the tip of the shaft, and when attached to the top end of the outer cylinder, the applicator passes through the two through holes and is inserted into the cylindrical container. It is characterized by being composed of;

[Function] By rotating the rotary knob and reciprocating the cylindrical container in the axial direction, the diameter of the through hole of the variable handling member provided at the top end of the container is continuously changed to adjust the amount of dropping. . The amount of mascara deposited is adjusted in advance by first passing the applicator through the variable handling member, and then when the applicator passes through the fixed handling member, excess mascara is further removed, leaving the desired amount of mascara remaining on the applicator. do.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The drawing shows one embodiment of the present invention, and the cosmetic mascara container 1 includes an outer cylinder 2, a cylindrical container 3 in which mascara is fitted into the outer cylinder 2, and a top end of the outer cylinder 2. The cap 4 is attached to the cap 4.

The outer cylinder 2 has a rotary knob 5 fitted to the bottom end of the cylinder body 9, which is rotatably connected to the shaft center, and has a guide hole 8 formed at the top part, which decreases toward the top end. is fitted and fixed,
A through hole 6 that overlaps the top end opening of the guide hole 8 is formed in this cylindrical body 9.
A fixed handling member 7 having a central part and serving also as an inner stopper is attached.

Moreover, the cylindrical container 3 fitted into the outer cylinder 2 is
By fitting the protrusion 10 protruding on the outer circumferential surface of the outer cylinder 2 into the groove 11 extending in the axial direction formed on the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder 2, it is made non-rotatable and movable in the axial direction. A male thread 12 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the proximal end of the cylindrical container 3 is screwed into a female thread 14 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the rotary knob 5. Further, a plurality of projecting pieces 15 having a cylindrical shape are protruded in a cylindrical shape on the side surface of the cylindrical base 18, and a handling piece 15a having elasticity and protruding toward the center of the guide hole 8 is formed at the top end. A variable handling member 17 is provided with a base 18 fixed to the top end of the cylindrical container 3. The variable handling member 17 has a through hole 16 formed in the central portion surrounded by the guide hole 15a. to change the diameter of the through hole 16.

Furthermore, the cap 4 has an applicator 21 projecting from the tip of the shaft 19 and having an applicator brush 20 attached thereto. 16 and inserted into the cylindrical container 3.

In the cosmetic mascara container 1 having such a configuration, when the cap 4 is attached to the outer cylinder 2, the applicator brush 2
0 is dipped in mascara contained in a cylindrical container 3. When the outer cylinder 2 is grasped to remove the cap 4 from the outer cylinder 2 and the applicator 21 is removed, the through hole 1 whose diameter changes depending on the position of the variable handling member 17
6 and the fixed diameter through hole 6 of the fixed handling member 7, each time the applicator brush 20 is handled and removes mascara, an appropriate amount of mascara remains attached to the applicator brush 20. By grasping and rotating the rotary knob 5 to move the cylindrical container 3 in the axial direction, the protruding piece 15 at the top of the container 3 moves together, and the through hole is opened according to the contact position with the hole wall of the guide hole 8. 1
The diameter of 6 changes.

That is, when the cylindrical container 3 is located at the bottom side, the protruding piece 15 is in the most expanded state and the through hole 16 has a maximum diameter, which is larger than the through hole 6 of the fixed handling member 7. have. When the rotary knob 5 is rotated to move the cylindrical container 3 toward the top end, the through hole 16 is gradually narrowed as the protruding piece 15 enters deeper into the guide hole 8.
Increase the amount of drop by 6. Then, when passing through the through hole 6 of the fixed handling member 7, an amount of mascara that has adhered is further removed, so that the mascara is taken out as the hole diameter of the through hole 16 is reduced. quantity decreases.

As shown in FIG. 5, a position indicator 22 corresponding to the amount of mascara deposited on the applicator 21 taken out from the rotary knob 5 and the outer tube 2 is provided so that the user can adjust the amount of mascara to his/her preference. The amount can be set very easily.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention having the above configuration, a desired amount of mascara can be accurately deposited on the applicator with a simple operation of removing the cap and pulling out the applicator as it is.
The coating can be applied in a desired amount or thickness, and the coating amount can also be changed steplessly by a simple operation of rotating a rotary knob. In addition, since there is no need to take the applicator in and out to adjust the amount of adhesion, the removed mascara will not stick to the outside of the two handling members, but to the inside, and as it flows down into the cylindrical container, it will solidify as it is. This method does not cause inconveniences such as narrowing the through hole in the center of the handling member to prevent passage of the applicator or making it difficult to attach and detach the cap.
