Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a container with an applicator for mascara cosmetics.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, there has been a trend to shorten the overall length of containers with mascara applicators in consideration of their portability. Therefore, it is not an exception to have a structure in which a brush is attached to the tip of the shaft and is attached to a cap-like holder, and this holder is attached to and detached from the container body to store the brush. A trend can be seen.

When the applicator is short, the user holds the applicator too close to the face, which makes it awkward and difficult to apply mascara to the eyelashes. For example, if you hold the holder with your effective hand and apply makeup to the eyelashes on the opposite side of the effective hand, there is a problem that the applicators may intertwine and the holder may hit your nose, etc. .

In order to solve this problem, the practical application method shown in FIG. 3 was proposed by the applicant.
There is a container with a mascara applicator described in Japanese Patent No. 61-174515.

In the case of this container with mascara applicator, brush shaft 1
A brush 2 for application is attached to the tip of the brush shaft, and a spherical portion 3 is formed at the rear end of the brush shaft. The cap 4 can be tilted freely over the entire angular range of 360 degrees.

This structure allows the hand holding the cap 4 to be positioned slightly in front of the face to avoid the hand holding it hitting the nose, and conversely to prevent the hand holding the cap 4 from being too far away from the face. This makes it easy to get a sense of the distance when bringing the brush 2 close to the eyelashes.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, while this container with mascara applicator has excellent usability in that the angle of the brush shaft 1 can be adjusted in any desired direction,
There is a problem in that it lacks a sense of fixity at the adjusted position.

The object of the present invention is to further improve the container with a mascara applicator made by the applicant of the present application, and to provide a container with a mascara applicator that has an improved feeling of fixation in any direction.

[Means for solving problems]

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

That is, a brush shaft 13 having a brush 14 at the tip is engaged with a cylindrical holder 12 that can be attached to and removed from the mouth and neck of the container body 10, and when the holder 12 is attached to the mouth and neck, the brush 14 is attached to the holder 12. This is a mascara applicator that stores the inside of the container body 10.

The holder 12 is provided with a shaft seat 12a and a locking seat 16, and the brush shaft 13 is inserted into one shaft seat 12a and is locked so that it can be tilted at a predetermined angle θ in all directions with respect to the longitudinal axis. has been done. Further, the brush shaft 13 is urged by a spring 17 so that the spherical locking end 13b formed at the rear end of the brush shaft 13 is pressed against the inner surface of the other locking seat 16. A fixed positioning recess 16a in which the locking end portion 13b is engaged with and disengaged from the center position of the inner surface of the stop seat 16, and this fixed positioning recess 16a
A plurality of tilt positioning recesses 16b are respectively provided on a predetermined circumference in the radial direction.

[Effect]

The holder 12 is removed, the brush shaft 13 is extracted from the container body 10, and the brush shaft 13 is bent relative to the axis of the holder 12. That is, the locking end 13b is intuitively engaged with one of the tilt positioning recesses 16b, and the angle of the brush shaft 13 relative to the holder 12 is adjusted in any desired direction. When applying mascara to the eyelashes, the hand holding the holder 12 is diagonally in front of the brush shaft 13, and is positioned slightly in front of the face to avoid hitting the nose or the like.

〔Example〕

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

In FIGS. 1a and 1b and FIG. 2, a cap-shaped holder 12 is removably attached to the mouth and neck part 10a of the bottomed container body 10, and the tip of a brush shaft 13 is fixed to this holder 12. Application brush 14
is stored inside the container body 10. Further, a rubber squeezing member 15 is fixed along the inner circumferential surface of the mouth and neck portion 10a, and this squeezing member 1
The brush shaft 13 is slidably inserted into a flange-like straining portion 15a formed in the brush 5, and is squeezed by the straining portion 15a as the brush 14 is inserted or removed.

On the other hand, the locking structure of the brush shaft 13 to the holder 12 side is such that the rear end of the brush shaft 13 is formed as a stepped part 13a that is thicker and has a larger outer diameter than the shaft main body, and the rearmost end of this stepped part 13a is shaped like a spherical shape. It is a processed locking end 13b. Moreover, on the holder 12 side,
A flange-shaped shaft seat 12a through which the brush shaft 13 is inserted is provided, and a through hole 12b having a hole diameter sufficiently larger than the outer diameter of the brush shaft 13 is provided in the center of the shaft seat 12a. Further, a locking seat 16 is fitted to the head which is an open end to close it off, and the locking end 13b of the brush shaft 13 comes into contact with the inner surface of this locking seat 16 and is engaged. I'm starting to do that. That is, a positioning recess 16a is formed at the center of the inner surface of the locking seat 16, with which the spherical surface of the locking end 13b is firmly engaged. Furthermore, on a predetermined circumference in the radial direction centering on this fixed positioning recess 16a, there is also a brush shaft 13.
A plurality of tilting positioning recesses 16b are formed in a radial manner, with which the locking end portions 13b of the locking end portions 13b engage.

That is, when the locking end 14b is engaged with the central positioning recess 16a, this means that the axis C-C of the brush shaft 13 is not tilted and is aligned with the axis of the holder 12, and the locking When the end portion 13b is engaged with one of the tilt positioning recesses 16b, the axis C-C of the brush shaft 13 is tilted at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the axis of the holder 12, as shown in FIG. It is when

In addition, the stepped portion 13a of the brush shaft 13 and the holder 1
A spring 17 is interposed between the spring 1 and the shaft seat 12a on the second side via a retainer 18.
7 urges the entire brush shaft 13 toward the locking seat 16 on the holder 12 side, and pressing the locking end portion 13b against the locking seat 16. In addition, the retainer 18
An annular packing 20 made of an O-ring or the like is interposed between the and the shaft seat 12a, and this packing 2
0 allows the brush shaft 13 to tilt and rotate smoothly around its axis C--C.

Next, in the operation mode and effect of the embodiment, when applying mascara, the holder 12 is removed from the container body 10, and the brush shaft 13 and the brush 14 are taken out. When the brush shaft 13 is bent in any direction with respect to the holder 12 during or after being pulled out, the locking end 13b is bent into one of the tilt positioning recesses 16b of the locking seat 16, as shown in FIG. is engaged with and positioned. At this time, the locking end 13b
When it is moved from one of the tilting positioning recesses 16b to another, the urging force of the spring 17 provides a feeling of fixation and wearing similar to that of a locking method.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the container with a mascara applicator according to the present invention allows the locking end 13b of the brush shaft 13 to be intuitively engaged with one of the tilting positioning recesses 16b, and the brush shaft 13 is held relative to the holder 12. The angle can be adjusted in any desired direction,
When applying mascara to the eyelashes, the hand holding the holder 12 is diagonally in front of the brush shaft 13, and is positioned slightly in front of the face to avoid hitting the nose or the like. Moreover, since the hand holding the cap 6 is not too far away from the face, it is easy to grasp the distance when bringing the brush 14 close to the eyelashes, and the application operation is easy to perform, resulting in excellent usability.

In this way, the angle of the brush shaft 13 can be adjusted in any desired direction, which provides excellent usability, and
It has an excellent effect on the feeling of fixation at any adjustment position.
