Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator whose applicator is a brush, brush, sponge, etc. More specifically, it is of a length that is easy to use, The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator that is convenient to carry and has a compact length when not in use.

[Prior art and its problems]

Such a conventional cosmetic applicator consists of a main body housing a brush or the like and a cap, and when used, the cap is removed from the tip of the main body and attached to the rear end of the main body. At this time, the guide rod attached to the brush is pushed and the brush protrudes from the tip of the main body. However, in order to make this conventional cosmetic applicator long enough to make it easy to use, the cap must be long, and therefore, the applicator remains long even when not in use, making it inconvenient to carry. .

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been made to eliminate such drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a cosmetic applicator that is easy to carry and has a convenient length when in use and a compact length when not in use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic applicator in which the applicator, such as a brush, protrudes from the tip of the main body only when the cap is removed from the barrel housing the applicator, such as a brush, and the cap is attached to the rear end of the barrel. The goal is to provide the following.

Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic applicator for the above-mentioned purpose in which the barrel and the cap are integrated into one body and there is no difference in level even when the cap is attached to the front or rear end of the barrel. be.

[Summary of the idea]

This invention basically consists of a guide rod with an application section at the tip, a main body that stores the guide rod inside, a spring that stores the application section inside the main body when not in use, and a main body that stores the application section inside the main body. It consists of a shaft cylinder which is housed in the main body and fixed in contact with the central part thereof, and a cap having a fitting cylinder which can be inserted into the gap between the main body and the shaft cylinder.

[Example of the invention]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view of a compact cosmetic applicator with a cap attached thereto.
The main body 1 is a cylindrical body that is open at both ends, has a slot 2 along the axial direction at one end, has a shoulder 4 on the inner surface of the other end, and further has an engaging portion A on the outer surface approximately at the center. . A guide rod 5 is housed within its body, which has a projection 6 projecting out of the slot 2 at one end and is fitted with a root 7 having a brush 7' at the other end. In order to store the brush 7 in the main body 1 when not in use, a coil spring 12 is installed between the shoulder 4 and the protrusion 6 so as to surround the guide rod 5, and to prevent the guide rod 5 from jumping out. , a tail plug 3 is fitted and bonded to one end of the main body 1. The shaft tube 8 is a cylindrical body with both ends open, and is joined to the main body 1 through an engaging portion A. This engaging portion A forms gaps B (see FIG. 2) and C between the main body 1 and the barrel 8. In order to form two similar gaps, a protrusion may be provided at the center of the inner wall of the shaft tube 8 instead of providing the engaging portion A on the main body 1.

The cap 9 is a cylindrical body with only one end open, and a part of the fitting cylinder 10 is fitted and fixed inside the cap 9. The other part of the fitting tube 10 projects outward from the cap 9, and a leaf spring 11 is fitted inside the outwardly projecting part. When attaching the cap 9 having the fitting tube 10 to the tip of the shaft tube 8,
The fitting tube 10 is inserted into the gap B between the shaft tube 8 and the main body 1. Since the leaf spring 11 fitted inside the fitting tube 10 holds down the main body 1, the cap 9 and the main body 1, and thus the cap 9 and the shaft tube 8, are integrated. By making the outer diameter of the cap 9 and the outer diameter of the barrel 8 equal, the outer surface of the cap 9 and the outer surface of the barrel 8 can be aligned when the cap 9 is completely attached to the main body 1. In one embodiment, the cap 9 and the fitting tube 10 are made separately, but they may be formed integrally, and instead of the leaf spring, a protrusion extending radially inward inside the fitting tube may be used. may be provided.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the cosmetic applicator in use. When using the cosmetic applicator, the cap 9 is removed from the tip of the barrel 8, and the cap 9 is attached to the barrel 8 from behind. At that time, the fitting cylinder 10 is inserted into the gap C, and the main body 1
Push the protrusion 6 of the guide rod 5 protruding from the slot 2. When the fitting tube 10 is further inserted, the guide rod 5
moves toward the tip, and the brush 7 is pushed out from the main body 1. When the fitting tube 10 is completely inserted,
The outer surfaces of the barrel 8 and the cap 9 coincide, and their lengths are such that they are easy to use when using a brush. Spring 12 connects guide rod 5 to tail plug 3
Since the main body 1 is being pushed in the direction of , the leaf spring 11 needs to be strong enough to withstand the tension of the spring 12 and press the main body 1 down.

When not in use, pull out the cap 9 from the rear end of the barrel 8. At that time, the brush 7 is returned into the main body 1 by the spring 12. Connect cap 9 to barrel 8
When attached to the tip of the fitting tube 10 as described above,
is inserted into the gap B, and the length of the entire applicator becomes compact.

FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of another embodiment in which the position of the spring is changed. In this embodiment, the spring 12' is connected to the engagement portion A' and the protrusion 6 protruding from the slot 2 of the body 1.
It is installed so as to surround the main body 1 between the two. When the spring 12' is installed in this way, the main body 1
There is no need to form a gap between the main body 1 and the guide rod 5', so the main body 1 can be made thinner, and the guide rod 5' does not wobble within the main body 1. However, since a minimum length always exists when the spring is compressed, a space must be provided between the engaging portion A and the protrusion 6. Therefore, the total length of the applicator must be increased accordingly.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the cosmetic applicator according to the present invention, the brush is stored inside the main body when not in use, and the fitting tube of the cap can be inserted into the gap between the shaft tube and the main body, so the overall length of the applicator can be reduced. It can be made shorter. Furthermore, since the outer peripheries of the cap and barrel coincide, the overall diameter can be made thinner. When in use, the fitting tube is inserted into the gap between the barrel and the main body, causing the brush to protrude from the main body, and since the cap and the barrel are integrated, the overall length of the applicator becomes longer, making it easier to use. . Furthermore, even when in use, the outer peripheries of the cap and the barrel coincide with each other, as they do when not in use, so there is no difference in level between them, making it easier to use.
