DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for accommodating cosmetics such as mascara and eyeliner, and more particularly, to construct this cosmetic container, directly apply the cosmetic, and blur and adjust the applied cosmetic. And a cosmetic applicator.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a cosmetic container for accommodating a cosmetic such as a mascara or an eyeliner, in particular, a cosmetic container comprising such a cosmetic container, applying the cosmetic, and blurring and adjusting the applied cosmetic. The applicator is a brush that directly applies cosmetics and blurs and adjusts the applied cosmetics.
Since it is common that this application body is fixed on the axis of a shaft that is integrated with a cap that is screwed and fixed to a cosmetic container main body containing cosmetics, for example, a right-handed user There is no inconvenience when applying cosmetics to the right eye part, but when performing to the left eye part, since the shaft with the brush approaches the nose, application of the cosmetic In addition to difficulties, in the worst case, the cosmetic may adhere to the nose, etc., so the application of the cosmetic directly, and the applied cosmetic is blurred and adjusted. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-12314 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 4-45626 have proposed a structure in which an application body can be bent in an arbitrary direction with respect to a shaft body having the application body at the tip. .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION However, in the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, in the case of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-12314,
By loosely fitting the ball formed integrally with the coating body into the ball receiving portion at the tip of the coating rod, the coating body is connected to the coating rod so as to be freely bent. With the universal joint consisting of the part and the ball receiving part at the tip of the application rod, the application body is bent in an arbitrary direction with respect to the application rod, and the inconvenience caused in operations such as application of cosmetics can be sufficiently eliminated. However, appropriate friction is required at the universal joint to secure the bending of the application body, but the universal joint that integrally connects the application body and the application rod is located at the ball portion of the application body and the ball receiving portion at the tip of the application rod. Because of the simple configuration, it is difficult to perform sufficient dimensional control, and it is not possible to secure an appropriate resistance to keep the applied body in a bent state. Or bend more than
Conversely, if the resistance is excessive, it becomes difficult to bend the coated body, and the coated body and the like are likely to be damaged.
Because it is a simple configuration in which the ball portion of the coating body is loosely fitted to the ball receiving portion at the tip of the coating rod, the ball receiving portion at the tip of the coating rod cannot exert sufficient gripping force on the ball portion of the coating body, There is a drawback that problems such as falling off occur.

[0004] In the case of Japanese Utility Model No. 4-45626,
A plurality of cutout holes are provided radially at the bottom of the holding cylinder integrated with the cap, and inside the holding cylinder, the cutout holes at the bottom of the holding cylinder are provided, and a coating shaft having an application body at the tip thereof is provided. The spherical base arranged at the rear end is pressed and held via the axis with the elasticity of the spring to be installed, and indeed, the cosmetic is directly applied to the tip, and the applied cosmetic is blurred. The application shaft having the application body formed by the adjustment is easily bent by the spherical base provided at the rear end, and further includes the application body with respect to the radially provided cutout hole at the bottom of the holding cylinder. In addition to the application shaft being fitted, the spherical base provided at the rear end of the application shaft is pressed and held by the shaft having elasticity provided by the built-in spring. Bend and its shape However, the bending structure of the coating body with respect to the holding cylinder becomes complicated, resulting in a remarkable increase in manufacturing cost due to an increase in the number of components and manufacturing steps, and disposable is generally used. There is a problem that is very disadvantageous for cosmetic containers.

Furthermore, in a coating shaft having a coating body at the tip, the fixing is performed by fitting the base of the coating shaft into a cutout hole provided radially at the bottom of the holding cylinder. It is not possible to fix the shaft in any direction, and if the orientation of the application body needs to be changed during use, adjust the hand, etc., in the direction required by the user instead of the application body. It is necessary to obtain the direction of the application body by
In particular, when the makeup work is performed in a hurry, it may be troublesome. In addition, the application shaft may be caught on the side edge of the cutout hole and may not be bent.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional disadvantages and the like, and it is possible to directly apply a cosmetic by directly using a simple structure, and to apply an applied body obtained by blurring and adjusting the applied cosmetic. , And the state can be fixed and maintained.
