Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a container for dispensing an applicator such as a makeup brush.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the container body is filled with cosmetics such as eye shadow, and the cap is equipped with an applicator such as a makeup brush, and the cosmetic is attached to the applicator during use, and when stored, the cap is placed in the container body. An example of a pencil-type cosmetic container in which the applicator comes into contact with the cosmetic when worn is the powder cosmetic container described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-45532, shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b. be.

In this powder cosmetic container, powder cosmetic 2 is filled in the inner part of the container body 1, and an applicator stick 4 having a sponge applicator 5 on the head is attached to the cap 3. is urged by a spring 6 in the direction of popping out from the cap 3. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4a, during storage,
By fitting the cap 3 to the container body 1, the application part 5 is pressed against the powder cosmetic 2 by the biasing force of the spring 6 and comes into contact with the powder cosmetic 2 inside.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in this powder cosmetic container, when an applicator such as a normal brush-type makeup brush is attached to the tip structure instead of the sponge applicator 5, the flexibility of the makeup brush and Due to its poor shape, it is difficult to insert it into the container body 1,
The problem is that it is difficult to use.

That is, when attaching the cap 3 to the container body 1 from the detached state as shown in FIG. In some cases, it is cumbersome to insert the makeup brush into the container body 1 while aligning the tip each time, and since it is flexible, if you forcefully push it repeatedly, it will damage the application part and shorten its lifespan. let

The present invention was made in view of the problems of conventional powder cosmetic containers, and even when a brush-type makeup brush is used as the application part, it is possible to use the makeup brush in a suitable usage state. The object of the present invention is to provide an applicator dispensing container that can be put in and out of storage.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve this objective, the applicator delivery container according to the present invention has the following configuration.

That is, a push-out tube 17 is provided inside the exterior tube 10 of the container body 1, and an applicator such as a makeup brush is attached to the tip of the push-out tube 17.

Further, a feeding mechanism is installed inside the exterior cylinder 10, and this feeding mechanism allows the extruded cylinder to
Move applicator 7 forward and backward along the axis to attach the applicator to outer tube 1.
It is designed to be loaded and unloaded from 0. This feeding mechanism and the pushing cylinder 17 are urged in the forward direction by a spring 14, and as the feeding mechanism moves forward by this spring 14, the guide sleeve 19, which advances to this moving position, moves the outer cylinder 1.
It is fitted so as to protrude from the open end of the 0. The applicator is inserted into the guide sleeve 19 to guide its movement in and out of the outer cylinder 10.

On the other hand, a cap C is provided at the open end of the exterior cylinder 10.
is capped, and the inside of this cap C contains cosmetics 1.
1 is filled. When the cap C is attached to the outer tube 10 so that the tip of the applicator comes into contact with the cosmetic 11, the extrusion tube 17 and the feeding mechanism are moved against the biasing force of the spring 14 to the outer tube 10. It seems to be pushed inward.

[Effect]

When the applicator is being stored, the tip of the applicator is in contact with the cosmetic 11 in the cap C, and the tip of the applicator is applied from the guide sleeve 19 to the rearmost part through the applicator.
In the embodiment, the entire series of feeding mechanism leading to the groove pipe 15 is pushed into the interior of the outer cylinder 10 against the biasing force of the spring 14.

As a result, when using the cap
When the applicator is removed from the outer tube 10, the above-mentioned feeding mechanism is pushed out of the outer tube 10 by the spring 14, and the applicator is also pushed out of the outer tube 10 via the guide sleeve 19 and protrudes. At this point, only a small portion of the tip of the applicator is peeking out from the guide sleeve 19, and the applicator is not ready for use.

In this state, the guide sleeve 19 provided at the open end of the outer tube 10 is gripped and fixed, and the outer tube 10 is
When rotated in a predetermined direction, the rotation of this outer cylinder 10 activates the internal feeding mechanism, and in conjunction with the operation of this feeding mechanism, the extruded cylinder 17 receives a propulsive force in the forward direction and moves. . By the forward movement of the push-out tube 17, the applicator at the tip is drawn out from the guide sleeve 19 forward, and when the applicator is a makeup brush as in the embodiment, the applicator is drawn out from the guide sleeve 19 until then. The tip expands and becomes ready for use.

Further, when the applicator is housed in the guide sleeve 19, when the outer cylinder 10 is rotated in the opposite direction, the feeding mechanism operates in the reverse order of the previous feeding. After storing the applicator in the guide sleeve 19, when the cap C is engaged with the mouthpiece 12 at the open end of the outer tube 10 and pushed in, the entire guide sleeve 19 and the feeding mechanism move against the spring 14 and move into the outer tube. 10
The cap C is pushed inward, and the cap C is attached to the outer cylinder 10.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the applicator dispensing container according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In Figures 1 to 3, the outer cylinder 1 of the container body
0 has a built-in feeding mechanism, and a brush-type makeup brush B, which is an applicator, is fed out by this feeding mechanism. Cosmetics 11 such as eye shadow are inserted into the tip of the outer tube 10 through the cap 12.
The cap C filled with the makeup brush B can be freely attached, and as shown in FIG.
is stored in contact with cosmetics 11.

Here, the configuration of the feeding mechanism on the container body side is such that on the input side of external force, a tail plug 13 is fitted and fixed to the rear open end of the exterior cylinder 10 and closed.
3 also serves as a retainer member that holds the spring 14. A transmission rod 13a having a rectangular cross section or the like is provided to protrude inward from the outer cylinder 10 from the center. A groove tube 15 is provided coaxially and outwardly of the transmission rod 13a, and the spring 14 is interposed between the rear end 15a of the groove tube 15 and the tail plug 13. The spring 14 urges the groove tube 15 forward toward the open end of the outer cylinder 10. That is, the rear end 15a of the groove tube 15 can be inserted into the transmission rod 13a of the tail plug 13 and slidably contact it in the axial direction, but rotation around the axis is limited to the fact that the transmission rod 13a has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. It's become impossible to do it because it matches. Also,
The groove tube 15 is provided with slits 15b extending in the longitudinal direction at two locations on the upper and lower sides of its periphery.

A slit 15 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the grooved pipe 15.
A helical tube 16 having a length approximately equal to b is fitted so as to be able to slide in the circumferential direction, and a helical concave groove 1 formed by, for example, a multithread screw is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the helical tube 16.
6a is bored.

In addition, a linear extruded tube 1 is provided inside the groove tube 15.
7 are provided on the same axis, and a threaded projection 17a protruding from the rear end engages and is inserted into the slit 15b of the groove tube 15 from inside, and the tip of the inserted threaded projection 17a is inserted into the helical tube 16. It is screwed into a spiral groove 16a on the inner peripheral surface. That is, one spiral tube 16
When the groove tube 15 is fixed and a rotational force is applied to the other groove tube 15, a propulsive force in the forward and backward directions on the spiral acts on the extrusion tube 17 screwed together via the screw projection 17a, and this extrusion The movement of the tube 17 is done using the groove tube 15.
It is designed to be guided by a slit 15b.

The above-mentioned members constitute a feeding mechanism with the extrusion cylinder 17 as the output side member, but this feeding mechanism is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings, and various other types may be used. The structure can be considered. For example, in the embodiment, the tail plug 13 is fitted and fixed to the rear open end of the outer cylinder 10, and the rotational force of the outer cylinder 10 is transmitted and inputted to the tail plug 13 of the feeding mechanism. Exterior tube 10 and tail plug 13
It is also possible to have a structure in which the tail plug 13 is directly rotated by separating the tail plug 13 from the tail plug 13.

Further, the transmission rod 13a is separated from the tail plug 13, and the transmission rod 13a is attached to the extruded tube 1 of the embodiment.
7, the makeup brush B may be attached to and detached from the tip of the rod. As such a dispensing mechanism, there are various dispensing containers such as the one disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 61-179100 previously proposed by the applicant of this application.

On the other hand, a straight tube-shaped brush holder 18 is integrally connected to the open end of the extruded tube 17, and the above-mentioned makeup brush B is held in this brush holder 18. Further, a long guide sleeve 19 can slide in the circumferential direction and the axial direction between the inner circumferential surface of the base 12 and the outer circumferential surface of the brush holder 18, and the front part of the stiff guide sleeve 19 It protrudes forward from the exterior cylinder 10. A diameter step portion 19a is provided at the boundary with the rear portion, and the rear portion is fitted and fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the spiral tube 16 on the feeding mechanism side. Therefore, the spring 14 of the feeding mechanism
When the guide sleeve 19 moves forward, the guide sleeve 19 is integrated with this.
can move forward a distance until its stepped portion 19a abuts against the rear end of the base 12.

Next, the operational mode and effect of the embodiment will be explained. As shown in FIG. 1, when the makeup brush B is being stored, the tip of the makeup brush B is in contact with the cosmetic material 11 in the cap C, and a series of rearward lines from the makeup brush B and the guide sleeve 19 are in contact with the cosmetic material 11 in the cap C. The entire feeding mechanism is
It is pushed into the exterior cylinder 10 against the biasing force of the spring 14.

As a result, when using the cap
When removed from the outer tube 10, the feeding mechanism and the makeup brush B are pushed out from the outer tube 10 by the spring 14 as before, and are in the initial state as shown in FIG. That is, due to the extrusion of the feeding mechanism by the spring 14, the guide sleeve 19 as well as the spiral tube 16 also protrudes further forward from the outer tube 10. At this point, the tip of the makeup brush B is slightly peeking out from the guide sleeve 19, and although it is bundled, it is not ready for use.

Next, when the vicinity of the tip of the guide sleeve 19 is gripped and supported and the outer cylinder 10 is rotated in a predetermined direction, the tail plug 13 rotates together with the outer cylinder 10. At this time, since the guide sleeve 19 is supported and in a fixed state, the spiral cylinder 16 on the feeding mechanism side is in a state where rotation in the circumferential direction is prevented. When the rotation of the tail plug 13 is transmitted to the groove tube 15, the extruded tube 17, which is engaged with the slit 15b of the groove tube 15 via the screw protrusion 17a, rotates and is screwed into the spiral groove 16a of the spiral tube 16. Due to the action of the screw protrusion 17a, a propulsive force in the forward direction acts on the extrusion cylinder 17. As the push-out tube 17 moves forward, the makeup brushes B are pushed forward from the guide sleeve 19 via the brush holder 18, as shown in FIG. Then, the tip gradually expands and becomes ready for use.

On the other hand, if you want to store the makeup brush B again by capping it with the cap C as shown in Fig. 1, by rotating the outer cylinder 10 in the reverse direction from the state shown in Fig. In this step, the makeup brush B is moved back and is housed inside the guide sleeve 19. From this, the cosmetic material 11 is brought into contact with the tip of the makeup brush B,
The cap C is pushed into the base 12 to attach it. By pushing the cap C, the guide sleeve 19 and the entire feeding mechanism are pushed back into the outer cylinder 10 against the force of the spring 14.

Therefore, as is clear from the above configuration and operation, in the embodiment of the present invention, instead of the makeup brush B, it is also possible to use a sponge applicator like the conventional example.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the case of a makeup brush that is worn as an applicator, the applicator feeding container according to the present invention allows the tip of the guide sleeve to be aligned with the guide sleeve when the makeup brush is fed out and retracted by the feeding mechanism. Since this is done by the guide, it is no longer necessary to take the makeup brush in and out while aligning the tip of the makeup brush each time during storage and use.

In addition to this, instead of using flexible makeup brushes,
It is possible to obtain a product that is structurally versatile and can be applied with a solid applicator made of sponge, for example.
