Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to cosmetics containing liquid cosmetics such as liquid foundation, a pad impregnated with the liquid cosmetics, and a liquid cosmetics-impregnated body in which the pad is impregnated with the liquid cosmetics. Background Art

[0002] Fig.11 An example of conventional cosmetics is shown. Liquid foundation is impregnated in pad 200. Pad 200 is made of soft sponge. Pad 200 is contained in container 201. Container 201 has opening 202. The upper surface of pad 200 is exposed from opening 202. By pressing a puff (not shown) on the upper surface of pad 200, foundation is taken out from pad 200. However, when the puff is pressed on pad 200, a large amount of foundation is easily transferred to the puff.

[0003] In this regard, Patent Document 1 below proposes a structure in which a filter is fixed to a frame of a container so that the filter is arranged close to the upper surface of a pad, and describes the purpose of adjusting the amount of foundation taken out from the pad by this structure.

[0004] exist Fig.12 (a) schematically shows the structure in which the filter screen 101 is fixed to the frame 100. Fig.12 As shown in (b), when the filter 101 is pressed downward using a powder puff (not shown), the filter 101 is deformed downward, and the pad 102 is deformed. The foundation is transferred from the pad 102 to the powder puff via the filter 101. However, the foundation easily escapes to the peripheral portion of the pad 102, so that the foundation easily remains on the peripheral portion of the pad 102. In addition, since the filter 101 is fixed to the frame 100, there is a limit to the extension of the filter 101. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown in (c), it is difficult to press the peripheral edge of the pad 102, and it is difficult to remove the foundation remaining on the peripheral edge of the pad 102 using a powder puff.

[0008] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0009] An object of the present invention is to provide cosmetics, a pad for liquid cosmetics, and a liquid cosmetics impregnated body that can easily adjust the amount of liquid cosmetics taken out and reduce the residual liquid cosmetics.

[0010] Solutions to Solve Problems

[0011] The cosmetic of the present invention comprises a pad and an outer body. The pad is impregnated with a liquid cosmetic. The pad is accommodated in the outer body. The outer body has an opening for exposing the upper surface of the pad. The pad comprises a pad body and a mesh cover. The pad body is composed of a fiber body having a cushioning property. The mesh cover is composed of a mesh sheet. The mesh cover wraps the pad body. The mesh cover covers at least the entire upper surface of the pad body. The ends of the fibers on the upper surface of the pad body are wound around the mesh cover. The mesh cover is clamped to the upper surface of the pad body.

[0012] According to this structure, the pad body is composed of a fiber body with cushioning properties. Compared with a sponge, a fiber body with cushioning properties is less likely to have liquid cosmetics remaining inside. The liquid cosmetics are transferred to the puff or the like via the mesh cover. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the situation where the liquid cosmetics are excessively taken out from the pad body. In addition, since the pad body is wrapped by the mesh cover, the mesh cover follows the deformation of the pad body. The pad body and the mesh cover are deformed as one, so the residue of the liquid cosmetics can be reduced. In addition, the ends of the fibers in the upper surface of the pad body are entangled with the mesh cover, so that the mesh cover is stuck to the upper surface of the pad body. Therefore, the mesh cover is not easy to float from the upper surface of the pad body, so that the mesh cover follows the changes of the upper surface of the pad body. In other words, the mesh cover will not leave the upper surface of the pad body, so that the upper surface of the pad body and the mesh cover are deformed or restored as one. Therefore, the liquid cosmetics can be evenly attached to the puff, so that the residue of the liquid cosmetics is also reduced. In addition, since the mesh cover is in close contact with the upper surface of the pad body, the upper surface of the pad has an excellent aesthetic appearance.

[0013] Preferably, the mesh cover covers the entire upper surface, the entire side surface and at least the peripheral edge of the lower surface of the pad body. According to this structure, the acquisition amount adjustment function of the mesh cover works effectively. In addition, the residue of the liquid cosmetic is further reduced.

[0014] In addition, the pad for liquid cosmetics of the present invention is a pad impregnated with liquid cosmetics. The pad has a pad body and a mesh cover. The pad body is composed of a fiber body with cushioning properties. The mesh cover is composed of a mesh sheet. The mesh cover wraps the pad body. The mesh cover covers at least the entire upper surface of the pad body. The ends of the fibers on the upper surface of the pad body are entangled and hung on the mesh cover. The mesh cover is stuck to the upper surface of the pad body.

[0015] Furthermore, the liquid cosmetic impregnated body of the present invention is obtained by impregnating the above-mentioned pad with the liquid cosmetic.

[0016] Effects of the Invention

[0017] As described above, the amount of liquid cosmetics taken out can be easily adjusted, and the residual liquid cosmetics can be reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Below, refer to Figures 1 to 10 A cosmetic product according to an embodiment of the present invention and a pad and an impregnation body used therein are described. The cosmetic product comprises: a pad impregnated with a liquid cosmetic material; and an outer body that houses the pad and has an opening for exposing the upper surface of the pad. The outer body comprises: an outer body main body having an opening; and a cover body that can be opened and closed and closes the opening of the outer body main body. A specific example is given below for description.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the cosmetic 1 includes a pad 2 and a container as an outer body. The pad 2 is accommodated in the container. The container in this embodiment is circular. The container includes an outer container 3 and an inner container 4. The container has a double structure.

[0032] The inner container 4 is assembled to the outer container 3 in a detachable manner. The inner container 4 includes an inner container body 10, an inner cover 11, and an anti-slip ring 12. The inner container body 10 accommodates the pad 2. The inner container body 10 has an opening 13 that opens upward. The opening 13 is circular. The upper surface of the pad 2 is exposed from the opening 13. The inner cover 11 is hingedly connected to the inner container body 10. The inner cover 11 closes the opening 13 of the inner container body 10 in a detachable manner. The inner cover 11 blocks the opening 13 of the inner container body 10 and makes the accommodating part of the inner container body 10 airtight. A puff accommodating recess (not shown) for accommodating a puff (not shown) is formed on the upper surface of the inner cover 11. The puff is a coating tool for adsorbing and removing liquid cosmetics from the pad 2 and attaching the liquid cosmetics to the skin of the face, etc. The puff is disc-shaped. The puff accommodating recess corresponds to the shape of the puff. The powder puff receiving recess is circular in a plan view. The anti-slip ring 12 is mounted on the opening edge of the inner container body 10. The anti-slip ring 12 prevents the pad 2 from slipping out of the opening 13 of the inner container body 10. The anti-slip ring 12 is an eaves-shaped protruding toward the center side of the opening 13 and is annular.

[0033] The outer container 3 includes an outer container body 20 and an outer cover 21. The outer container body 20 accommodates the inner container 4. The outer container body 20 has an opening 22 that opens upward. The outer cover 21 closes the opening 22 of the outer container body 20 in a freely openable and closable manner. The outer cover 21 is hingedly connected to the outer container body 20. A mirror 23 is provided on the inner surface of the outer cover 21.

[0034] <Liquid cosmetics>

[0035] Liquid cosmetics include, for example, liquid foundation or blush, beauty serum, and emulsion.

[0036] <Mat 2>

[0037] The pad 2 holds the liquid cosmetic. The liquid cosmetic is impregnated in the pad 2. The pad 2 is soft. The pad 2 can be easily deformed. The shape of the pad 2 corresponds to the shape of the receiving portion of the inner container body 10. Figure 2 As shown in (a), in the present embodiment, the pad 2 is circular in a plan view. However, the pad 2 may also be rectangular in a plan view. In the present embodiment, the pad 2 is cylindrical in which the dimension (thickness) in the direction of the center line is smaller than the diameter. The diameter of the pad 2 is, for example, about 3 to 15 cm. The thickness of the pad 2 is, for example, about 0.5 to 5 cm. The pad 2 comprises: a pad body 30 for holding liquid cosmetics; and a mesh cover 31 for adjusting the amount of liquid cosmetics taken out.

[0038] <Main body 30>

[0039] The pad body 30 is a main part of the pad 2. The liquid cosmetic is impregnated in the pad body 30. Figure 2 As shown in (b), in the present embodiment, the pad body 30 is circular in a plan view. The pad body 30 is cylindrical in shape with a thickness smaller than the diameter. However, the pad body 30 may also be rectangular in a plan view, etc. The pad body 30 has an upper surface 30a, a side surface 30b, and a lower surface 30c. The upper surface 30a and the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 are flat circular shapes. The side surface 30b of the pad body 30 is a circumferential surface. The diameter of the pad body 30 is, for example, about 3 to 15 cm. The thickness of the pad body 30 is, for example, about 0.5 to 5 cm.

[0040] The mat body 30 is made of a fiber body. The fiber body has a cushioning property. The fiber body is a structure in which fibers are three-dimensionally crossed like a jungle gym. The fiber body is a three-dimensional structure. The intersection where the fibers cross each other is a contact portion where the fibers contact each other. At the contact portion, the fibers are fused to each other. The density of the fiber body is, for example, 6 to 50 kg / m 3 About 6 to 30 kg / m 3 The Asker F hardness of the fiber body is preferably about 30 to 60. It should be noted that the Asker F hardness is a value measured at a temperature of 25°C using an Asker rubber hardness meter type F manufactured by Molecular Meter Co., Ltd. It should be noted that the pad body 30 can be a single layer or a multi-layer. In the case where the pad body 30 is multi-layer, the density of the layer constituting the upper surface 30a is preferably greater than the density of the other layers.

[0041] The fibers constituting the fiber body may be various, but preferably contain composite fibers. The composite fibers contain two resins having different melting temperatures. The resin having the lower melting temperature of the two resins melts, so that the fibers are fused to each other at the contact portion. The resin having the higher melting temperature is called a high-temperature melting resin, and the resin having the lower melting temperature is called a low-temperature melting resin.

[0042] The composite fiber is, for example, a core-sheath composite fiber, a side-by-side composite fiber, an island-in-the-sea composite fiber, etc. From the viewpoint of efficiently integrating the contacting parts of the fibers, a core-sheath composite fiber is preferred. When the fibers are crimped by heating, a side-by-side composite fiber is preferred.

[0043] The core-sheath type composite fiber has a core component as a central component and a sheath component covering the core component. The core component uses a high-temperature melting resin. The sheath component uses a low-temperature melting resin. At the contact portion between the fibers, the composite fibers are firmly integrated with each other by the low-temperature melting resin. The volume ratio of the core component to the sheath component (core component: sheath component) is preferably 30:70 to 70:30.

[0044] Examples of low-temperature melting resins include polyesters and thermoplastic elastomers. Specifically, polyesters include polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyhexylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate. In addition, examples of thermoplastic elastomers include polyester elastomers such as polyethylene terephthalate elastomers, and polyether-ester block copolymers having polyester as a hard segment and poly(alkylene oxide) glycol as a soft segment.

[0045] Examples of the high temperature melting resin include thermoplastic polyesters, etc. Examples of the thermoplastic polyesters include polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyhexamethylene terephthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate.

[0046] The fineness of the composite fiber is preferably 0.5 to 15 deniers, more preferably 1 to 10 deniers. If the fineness is within this range, the liquid cosmetic stored in the pad body 30 can be efficiently taken out to the outside. In addition, the pad body 30 with excellent mechanical strength can be obtained. It should be noted that the fineness of the fiber is the mass (g) of the fiber (filament) per 9000m of fiber length.

[0047] The fiber length of the composite fiber is preferably about 20 to 150 mm. If the fiber length is within this range, the liquid cosmetic stored in the pad body 30 can be efficiently taken out to the outside, and the pad body 30 with excellent mechanical strength can be obtained. The composite fiber can also be processed, such as antibacterial processing and antimicrobial processing, as needed.

[0048] The fiber body contains composite fibers as constituent fibers. The fiber body may be composed of composite fibers alone, or may be composed of composite fibers and other fibers other than composite fibers. Other fibers include natural fibers such as cotton, linen, and silk, regenerated fibers such as rayon, and synthetic fibers, and synthetic fibers are particularly preferred. The composite fibers and the synthetic fibers are preferably fused at the contact portions with each other.

[0049] As synthetic fibers, for example, polyester fibers such as polyethylene terephthalate fibers, polybutylene terephthalate fibers, and polytrimethylene terephthalate fibers, polyvinyl chloride fibers, polyvinylidene chloride fibers, polypropylene fibers, polyvinyl alcohol fibers, polyamide fibers represented by nylon 6, polyimide fibers, polyamide-imide fibers, and cellulose acetate fibers can be cited, but the present invention is not limited to such illustrations. These fibers can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these synthetic fibers, polyester fibers and polyamide fibers are preferred, and polyester fibers are more preferred. The synthetic fibers can also be processed, such as antibacterial processing and antimicrobial processing, as required.

[0050] From the viewpoint of preventing the elasticity of the composite fiber from being weakened and the elasticity from being reduced, the melting temperature of the synthetic fiber is preferably 20°C or higher than the melting temperature of the low-temperature melting resin of the composite fiber, and more preferably 30°C or higher. From the viewpoint of preventing the elasticity of the composite fiber from being weakened and efficiently thermally fusing the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber at the contact portion between the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber, the melting temperature of the synthetic fiber is preferably 150 to 270°C, and more preferably 160 to 270°C. Similar to the composite fiber, the fineness of the synthetic fiber is preferably 0.5 to 15 deniers, and more preferably 1 to 10 deniers. Similar to the composite fiber, the fiber length of the synthetic fiber is preferably about 20 to 150 mm.

[0051] It is preferred to use the composite fiber and synthetic fiber as other fibers in combination. It is more preferred to use the composite fiber and polyester fiber or polyamide fiber as synthetic fibers in combination. It is further preferred to use the composite fiber and polyester fiber in combination. The mass ratio of the composite fiber to the synthetic fiber (composite fiber: synthetic fiber) is preferably 10:90 to 100:0, and more preferably 30:70 to 80:20.

[0052] <Method of Manufacturing Pad Body 30>

[0053] Next, a method for manufacturing the pad body 30 is exemplified. However, the method described below is for illustrative purposes only, and other methods may be used. It should be noted that the fiber body is composed of a composite fiber and a synthetic fiber. However, only the composite fiber may be used, or other fibers other than the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber may be used in combination.

[0054] exist Figure 3 to Figure 5 In the figure, an example of the manufacturing method is shown in a schematic diagram. First, the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are respectively defibrated. The composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are weighed in a manner to form a predetermined ratio. The composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are mixed in a manner to form a uniform composition. When the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are mixed, the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the fiber. The composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are used to form a fiber sheet 40 of a predetermined thickness.

[0055] Then, if Figure 3 As shown in (a), a plurality of fiber sheets 40 are stacked. It should be noted that the thickness of the fiber sheet 40 is exaggerated. When stacking a plurality of fiber sheets 40, the directions of the fibers of the fiber sheets 40 are aligned in one direction. The direction of the fiber is referred to as the fiber direction and is indicated by an arrow X. The direction orthogonal to the fiber direction in the plane of the fiber sheet 40 is referred to as the fiber orthogonal direction and is indicated by an arrow Y. The stacking direction of the fiber sheet 40 is indicated by an arrow Z.

[0056] Next, the stacked fiber sheets 40 are sandwiched in the stacking direction using, for example, two flat pressing bodies (not shown) facing each other in the stacking direction. The fiber sheets 40 are pressed by the two pressing bodies to a predetermined thickness, and the fiber sheets 40 are heated in the pressed state. The low-temperature melting resin of the composite fiber is melted by the heating. As the low-temperature melting resin melts, the contacting parts of the fibers are fused and integrated by the low-temperature melting resin, such as Figure 3 As shown in (b), a laminate 41 consisting of a fiber body with a three-dimensional structure is formed. Due to the melting of the low-temperature melting resin of the composite fiber, the composite fibers are fused to each other, and the composite fibers are fused to the synthetic fiber. Figure 3 In (b), the contact portion 41a formed by the fibers being fused together is indicated by marking dots. The temperature at which the fiber sheet 40 is heated is a temperature that is not less than the melting temperature of the low-temperature melting resin of the composite fiber and is lower than the melting temperature of the high-temperature melting resin of the composite fiber and the melting temperature of the synthetic fiber. The plurality of fiber sheets 40 are integrated by such a pressing and heating process. It should be noted that, instead of using two pressing bodies for pressing, the fiber sheet 40 may be placed in a forming mold and compressed and heated. It should be noted that in Figure 3 (b) and Figure 4 In FIG. 1 , overlapping portions of the fiber sheets 40 are shown using double-dashed lines instead of solid lines.

[0057] Next, if Figure 4 As shown, the laminate 41 is cut into a specified thickness along the stacking direction and the fiber orthogonal direction, thereby forming a plate-like fiber body 42. The cut surfaces of the plate-like fiber body 42 become the upper surface and the lower surface of the plate-like fiber body 42. That is, the cut surfaces become the plate surface of the plate-like fiber body 42. The thickness direction of the plate-like fiber body 42 is the fiber direction in the laminate 41. The plate-like fiber body 42 has a large resilience against the force in the thickness direction, has excellent cushioning properties, and its elastic force is not easily weakened. And, as Figure 5 As shown, the mat body 30 is formed by cutting a plate-like fiber body 42 into a predetermined shape.

[0058] <Mesh cover 31>

[0059] The mesh cover 31 is composed of a mesh sheet such as a woven fabric, a textile, or a net. The mesh sheet may be stretchable or not. If the mesh sheet is stretchable, the mesh cover 31 is better able to follow the deformation of the pad body 30, so it is preferred. The mesh sheet may also have a pattern. The mesh sheet may also be given, for example, antibacterial properties. The material of the mesh sheet is preferably a resin such as polyester, but it may also be a natural material. In the case of a net, the intersection where the wires intersect each other may be in a state of only contact, a state of fusion, or a state where the wires are wound around each other. It may also be a net made of resin formed into a mesh by molding. The thickness of the wires constituting the mesh sheet is, for example, 0.01 to 0.5 mm. In the case of a woven fabric, the thickness of the wire is, for example, 0.01 to 0.1 mm, preferably 0.02 to 0.07 mm. In the case of a textile, the thickness of the wire is, for example, 0.01 to 0.1 mm, preferably 0.02 to 0.07 mm. In the case of a mesh, the thickness of the wire is, for example, 0.01 to 0.3 mm, preferably 0.02 to 0.25 mm.

[0060] The mesh size of the mesh sheet is, for example, 0.01 to 2 mm. In the case of a woven fabric, the mesh size is, for example, 0.01 to 1.5 mm, preferably 0.02 to 0.8 mm, and more preferably 0.03 to 0.5 mm.

[0061] In the case of textiles, the mesh size is, for example, 0.01 to 1.5 mm, preferably 0.02 to 0.8 mm, more preferably 0.03 to 0.5 mm. In the case of nets, the mesh size is, for example, 0.01 to 1.5 mm, preferably 0.02 to 0.8 mm, more preferably 0.03 to 0.5 mm.

[0062] The mesh cover 31 covers the pad body 30. The mesh cover 31 covers the entire pad body 30 or a part of the pad body 30. At least the entire upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 is covered by the mesh cover 31. Preferably, the entire upper surface 30a and the entire side surface 30b of the pad body 30 are covered by the mesh cover 31. More preferably, the entire upper surface 30a, the entire side surface 30b, and at least the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 are covered by the mesh cover 31. Preferably, the entire pad body 30 is covered by the mesh cover 31. That is, it is also preferred that the entire upper surface 30a, the entire side surface 30b, and the entire lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 are covered by the mesh cover 31. Preferably, the mesh cover 31 is not bonded or fused to the upper surface 30a and the side surface 30b of the pad body 30.

[0063] exist Figure 6 2 shows a typical example of a structure in which the pad main body 30 is covered with a mesh cover 31 . Figure 6(a) shows a structure in which the pad body 30 is partially wrapped by the mesh cover 31. In detail, the mesh cover 31 covers the entire upper surface 30a and the entire side surface 30b of the pad body 30, and covers only the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30. The central portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 is not covered by the mesh cover 31 and is exposed. The mesh cover 31 is formed into a bag shape by a mesh sheet. The pad body 30 is inserted into the bag-shaped mesh cover 31, and the opening of the bag-shaped mesh cover 31 is located at the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30. The mesh cover 31 is annular and covers the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30, for example, with a width of 3 mm or more. It is preferred that the wire 32 passes through the mesh of the inner edge portion (opening edge portion) of the mesh cover 31 that covers the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30, so as to close the opening edge portion of the mesh cover 31 and reduce the diameter of the opening portion. This structure prevents the mesh cover 31 from peeling off or shifting in position. It should be noted that the mesh cover 31 is not bonded or welded to the pad body 30 .

[0064] Figure 6 (b) is also related to Figure 6 (a) similarly shows a structure in which the mesh cover 31 covers the entire upper surface 30a and the entire side surface 30b of the pad body 30 and covers only the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30. The portion of the mesh cover 31 covering the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 is bonded or welded to the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30. Figure 6 In (b), in the mesh cover 31, the portion that is not bonded or welded to the pad body 30 is indicated by a dotted line, and the portion 31a that is bonded or welded to the pad body 30 is indicated by a solid line. In this structure, the upper surface 30a and the side surface 30b of the pad body 30 are not bonded or welded to the mesh cover 31. With this structure, the mesh cover 31 is also prevented from peeling off or positional displacement.

[0065] Figure 6 (c) shows a structure in which the entire pad body 30 is wrapped by a mesh cover 31. The mesh cover 31 is formed by two upper and lower mesh sheets. The peripheral edges of the two mesh sheets are joined together to form an integration. The reference numeral 31b is used to represent the joining portion. As a method for joining the peripheral edges of the two mesh sheets together to form an integration, for example, in addition to welding based on ultrasound or high frequency, heat pressing, etc., bonding, sewing, etc. can also be cited. The joining portion 31b between the peripheral edges of the two mesh sheets is located on the outside of the side 30b of the pad body 30 and surrounds the outside of the side 30b.

[0066] exist Figure 7 An example of a method for wrapping the pad body 30 with two upper and lower mesh sheets is shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown in (a), two mesh sheets 50 are arranged in a vertically separated manner. The two mesh sheets 50 can be in a long strip shape or cut into a predetermined size. The pad body 30 is arranged between the two mesh sheets 50. Then, as shown in Figure 7 As shown in (b), the two mesh sheets 50 are brought close to each other, so that the pad body 30 is sandwiched by the two mesh sheets 50 from top to bottom. The pad body 30 is compressed and deformed by the two mesh sheets 50 pressing up and down. The two mesh sheets 50 are melted to each other around the pad body 30. After melting, the pad body 30 returns to its original state. When the pad body 30 returns to its original state, the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 presses the upper mesh sheet 50 upward, and the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 presses the lower mesh sheet 50 downward. Due to the elastic restoring force of the pad body 30, the upper surface 30a and the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 are in close contact with the mesh cover 31. It should be noted that the peripheral portions of the upper and lower mesh sheets can be integrated with each other by bonding instead of welding. That is, the joint 31b can be a welding portion or a bonding portion. It should be noted that, similarly, the pad body 30 may be wrapped with the mesh sheet by sewing two upper and lower mesh sheets 50 using a sewing machine or the like.

[0067] exist Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 Schematically shows a perspective cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the upper surface of the pad 2. Figure 8 The case where the mesh cover 31 is a textile is shown. Fig. 9 The mesh cover 31 is a woven fabric. The ends of the fibers 43 constituting the fiber body are present on the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30. The ends of the fibers 43 are entangled with the mesh cover 31. The ends of the fibers 43 are randomly bent. The ends of the bent fibers 43 pass through the mesh of the mesh cover 31 and are entangled with the thread of the mesh cover 31 like Velcro. In this way, the ends of the fibers 43 are entangled with the mesh cover 31, so that the mesh cover 31 is locked to the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30. The mesh cover 31 is in close contact with the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 by the locking force of the ends of the fibers 43 on the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30.

[0068] As described above, the pad body 30 is wrapped by the mesh cover 31, and at least the entire upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 is covered by the mesh cover 31. The liquid cosmetic impregnated in the pad body 30 is transferred to the puff via the mesh cover 31. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the excessive removal of liquid cosmetics from the pad body 30. In particular, the effect is greater in the initial stage of use. The mesh cover 31 is not fixed to the inner container 4, so the mesh cover 31 has a high degree of freedom. The mesh cover 31 can easily follow the deformation of the pad body 30. The mesh cover 31 and the pad body 30 are deformed as one body. Therefore, the residue of liquid cosmetics impregnated in the pad body 30 can be reduced. In addition, the discharge amount and the removal amount of liquid cosmetics can be adjusted for a long time.

[0069] Compared with a sponge, a fiber body having a cushioning property is less likely to retain liquid cosmetics. The mesh cover 31 is not bonded or welded to the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30. Therefore, the mesh of the mesh cover 31 is not clogged, so that the liquid cosmetics can easily pass through the mesh of the mesh cover 31 from the pad body 30. In addition, the fibers in the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 also maintain their original state. Therefore, the liquid cosmetics are smoothly transferred from the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 to the puff via the mesh cover 31.

[0070] The ends of the fibers 43 in the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 are entangled with the mesh cover 31, so that the mesh cover 31 is stuck to the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30. Therefore, the mesh cover 31 is not easy to float from the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30, so that the mesh cover 31 can easily follow the deformation of the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30. The mesh cover 31 is not easy to leave the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30, so that the mesh cover 31 and the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30 are deformed as a whole and restored to the original state. Therefore, the liquid cosmetic material is uniformly attached to the puff, and the residual liquid cosmetic material is reduced. In addition, since the mesh cover 31 is in close contact with the upper surface 30a of the pad body 30, the beauty of the upper surface of the pad 2 is excellent. Even in the state where the liquid cosmetic material is reduced, the beauty of the upper surface of the pad 2 is maintained by the mesh cover 31.

[0071] exist Fig.10 (a) schematically shows a state where the pad 2 is accommodated in the inner container body 10. Fig.10 As shown in (b), when the pad 2 is pressed downward using a powder puff (not shown), the pad 2 is deformed. The mesh cover 31 is not fixed to the inner container body 10, so the mesh cover 31 has a large degree of freedom. Therefore, the mesh cover 31 can be integrated with the pad body 30 and easily deformed. Fig.10 As shown in (c), it is also easy to use the puff to press the peripheral edge of the pad 2. The liquid cosmetic remaining on the peripheral edge of the pad 2 can also be easily taken out.

[0072] Example

[0073] Hereinafter, further description will be given with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples.

[0074] [Example 1]

[0075] <Main body 30>

[0076] The fiber body is composed of a mixture of composite fiber and synthetic fiber. The composite fiber is a core-sheath type. The core component (high temperature melting resin) is polyethylene terephthalate. The sheath component (low temperature melting resin) is thermoplastic polyethylene terephthalate. The fineness of the composite fiber is 6 denier. The synthetic fiber is polyethylene terephthalate fiber. The fineness of the synthetic fiber is 3 denier. The mass ratio of composite fiber to synthetic fiber is 70:30. Figure 3 to Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , the composite fiber and the synthetic fiber are blended in parallel to form a fiber sheet 40. A plurality of fiber sheets 40 are stacked and pressed in the stacking direction, and heated at the same time to melt the sheath component of the composite fiber, thereby producing a stack 41. The stack 41 is cut into a predetermined thickness to form a plate-like fiber body 42. The plate-like fiber body 42 is cut to form a pad body 30 having a diameter of about 5 cm and a thickness of about 1 cm. It should be noted that the density of the pad body 30 is 18.0 kg / m 3 .

[0077] <Mesh cover 31>

[0078] The mesh sheet uses a tricot fabric made of 20 denier nylon thread. The warp density of the tricot fabric is 35 threads / inch, and the weft density is 43 threads / inch. The tricot fabric is cut into a size of φ74 mm, and the peripheral portion is sewn with elastic thread to produce a bag-shaped mesh cover 31 with a retractable opening.

[0079] <Mat 2>

[0080] The mat 2 is manufactured by enlarging the opening of the mesh cover 31 so that the mesh cover 31 covers the mat body 30 , but does not cover the lower surface 30 c of the mat body 30 but only covers the entire upper surface 30 a and the entire side surface 30 b of the mat body 30 .

[0081] <Cosmetics 1>

[0082] 15 g of a liquid cosmetic having a viscosity of 2000 mP·s was impregnated into the pad 2, and the pad 2 was placed in Figure 1 The inner container 4 is formed as shown, thereby producing a sample A of the cosmetic 1.

[0083] [Example 2]

[0084] The pad body 30 is the same as that in Example 1. The mesh sheet uses the same warp knitted fabric as in Example 1. The size of the warp knitted fabric is φ80 mm. A bag-shaped mesh cover 31 is used to cover the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 in a 3 mm wide ring shape, thereby producing a pad 2. The pad 2 is used to produce a sample B of the cosmetic 1. The liquid cosmetic and the container are the same as those in Example 1.

[0085] [Example 3]

[0086] The pad body 30 is the same as that in Example 1. The mesh sheet uses the same warp knitted fabric as in Example 1. The size of the warp knitted fabric is φ82 mm. A bag-shaped mesh cover 31 is used to cover the peripheral portion of the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 in a 5 mm wide ring shape, thereby producing a pad 2. The pad 2 is used to produce a sample C of the cosmetic 1. The liquid cosmetic and the container are the same as those in Example 1.

[0087] [Example 4]

[0088] The pad body 30 is the same as that in Example 1. The mesh sheet uses the same warp knitted fabric as in Example 1. The size of the warp knitted fabric is φ125 mm. The entire lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 is covered with a bag-shaped mesh cover 31 to produce a pad 2. Sample D of the cosmetic 1 is produced using the pad 2. The liquid cosmetic and the container are the same as those in Example 1.

[0089] [Example 5]

[0090] The pad body 30 is the same as that in Example 1. The mesh sheet uses the same warp knitted fabric as in Example 1. Two mesh sheets are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the pad body 30, and the upper and lower mesh sheets are welded and melted to each other by ultrasonic waves. A pad 2 in which the entire pad body 30 is covered by a mesh cover 31 is produced. Sample E of the cosmetic 1 is produced using the pad 2. The liquid cosmetic material and the container are the same as in Example 1.

[0091] [Examples 6 to 8]

[0092] The pad body 30 is the same as that of Example 1. The mesh sheet uses a warp knitted fabric made of 40 denier nylon yarn. The density of the warp yarn of the warp knitted fabric is 33 yarns / inch, and the density of the weft yarn is 36 yarns / inch. Samples F to H of the cosmetics 1 in Examples 6 to 8 are respectively produced by the same production method as samples B to D of the cosmetics 1 in Examples 2 to 4.

[0093] [Examples 9 to 12]

[0094] The mat body 30 is different from that in Example 1 only in density. The density of the mat body 30 in Examples 9 to 12 is 24.0 kg / m 3 Samples I to L of the cosmetics 1 in Examples 9 to 12 were prepared by the same preparation method as Samples B to E of the cosmetics 1 in Examples 2 to 5, respectively.

[0095] [Examples 13 to 15]

[0096] The pad body 30 is the same as that in Examples 9 to 12. The mesh sheet uses the same warp knitted fabric as in Examples 6 to 8. Samples M to O of the cosmetics 1 in Examples 13 to 15 are prepared by the same method as that of samples F to H of the cosmetics 1 in Examples 6 to 8.

[0097] [Comparative Example 1]

[0098] The pad 2 was used by directly placing it in the inner container 4 without using the mesh cover 31 to cover the pad body 30 of Example 1. The mesh sheet same as that of Examples 6 to 8 was ultrasonically welded to the upper surface of the anti-drop ring 12 to obtain a sample P of the cosmetic 1.

[0099] [Comparative Example 2]

[0100] Polyurethane foam (manufactured by Kurabo Boiler Co., Ltd., trade name: 301WH) was used as pad 2. The size of pad 2 was the same as that of Example 1. As in Comparative Example 1, the pad 2 was placed directly in the inner container 4 without being covered with a mesh cover 31. As in Comparative Example 1, the mesh sheet same as that of Examples 6 to 8 was ultrasonically welded to the upper surface of the anti-slip ring 12, thereby obtaining a sample Q of the cosmetic 1.

[0101] [Test and evaluation]

[0102] Each sample was subjected to a test for taking out liquid cosmetics and a test for the residual rate of liquid cosmetics, and evaluated. The test for taking out liquid cosmetics is a test for investigating the amount of liquid cosmetics obtained, its uniformity, etc. In the test for taking out, a puff is used to pat the upper surface of the pad 2 via the opening 13 of the inner container 4, so that the liquid cosmetics of the pad 2 are attached to the coating surface of the puff. Then, the coating surface of the puff is pressed against a separately prepared paper, so that the liquid cosmetics are transferred from the coating surface of the puff to the paper. The amount of attachment and uniformity of the liquid cosmetics attached to the paper are investigated. The amount of attachment can be measured by comparing the weight of the paper before attachment with the weight of the paper after attachment.

[0103] [Evaluation of the adjustment of the amount of acquisition]

[0104] The adjustment status of the obtained amount was evaluated in three stages of "○", "△", and "×" according to the following criteria.

[0105] ○: The amount of cosmetic material collected is uniform. Specifically, when the above-mentioned operation of the powder puff is repeated 1 to 30 times, 31 to 60 times, 61 to 90 times, or 91 to 120 times, the amount of cosmetic material collected by the paper is 2.0 g or more and 4.0 g or less (appropriate amount).

[0106] △: The amount of cosmetic material collected is substantially uniform. Specifically, when the above-mentioned operation of the powder puff is repeated 1 to 30 times, 31 to 60 times, 61 to 90 times, or 91 to 120 times, the amount of cosmetic material collected by the paper is 1.0 g or more and less than 2.0 g (slightly less), or more than 4.0 g and less than 6.0 g (slightly more).

[0107] ×: The amount of cosmetic material collected is uneven. Specifically, when the above-mentioned operation of the powder puff is repeated 1 to 30 times, 31 to 60 times, 61 to 90 times, or 91 to 120 times, the amount of cosmetic material collected by the paper is less than 1.0 g (less) or more than 6.0 g (more).

[0108] [Evaluation of Survival Rate]

[0109] The amount of cosmetic material remaining on the pad 2 was evaluated by the residual rate. The residual rate was evaluated in four stages, A to D, as described below. The case where the residual rate was 5% or more and less than 10% was evaluated as A. The case where the residual rate was 10% or more and less than 15% was evaluated as B. The case where the residual rate was 15% or more and less than 20% was evaluated as C. The case where the residual rate was 20% or more was evaluated as D. Table 1 shows the evaluation results of the Examples and Comparative Examples.

[0110] [Table 1]

[0111] Adjustment of the amount of acquisition Survival rate Example 1 Sample A △ B Example 2 Sample B ○ A Example 3 Sample C ○ A Example 4 Sample D ○ A Example 5 Sample E ○ A Example 6 Sample F ○ A Example 7 Sample G ○ A Example 8 Sample H ○ A Example 9 Sample I ○ A Example 10 Sample J ○ A Embodiment 11 Sample K ○ A Example 12 Sample L ○ A Example 13 Sample M ○ A Embodiment 14 Sample N ○ A Embodiment 15 Samples ○ A Comparative Example 1 Sample P △ C Comparative Example 2 Sample Q × D

[0112] As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 15, the adjustment of the amount of cosmetic material obtained is a good result. Among them, the adjustment of the amount of cosmetic material obtained in Examples 2 to 15 is particularly good. In addition, the residual rate of Examples 1 to 15 is also low, which is a good result. Among them, the residual rate of Examples 2 to 15 is particularly low. It is believed that the main reason for the difference in the adjustment of the amount obtained and the residual rate between Example 1 and Examples 2 to 15 is that only the lower surface 30c of the pad body 30 of the pad 2 of Example 1 is not covered by the mesh cover 31. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the amount of cosmetic material obtained is roughly uniform, but the residual rate is high. In Comparative Example 2, the amount of cosmetic material obtained is uneven, and the residual rate is also very high.

[0113] It should be noted that the case where the container has a double structure including the outer container 3 and the inner container 4 has been described, but the container may be a container without the outer container 3. In addition, the outer body is not limited to a container, and may be a packaging bag.
