Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a coating container. Background Technology

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes an applicator assembly for cosmetic compositions. The applicator assembly includes a bottle containing an article of liquid cosmetic and a bottomed cylindrical cap attached to the bottle. The cap has a shaft extending in an axial direction along the axis of the cap and an applicator element located at the top of the shaft.

[0003] The bottle has a bottomed cylindrical shell into which a coating element is inserted. The shell has an opening through a side portion, through which a product enters the interior of the shell. The product is housed inside the shell. When the cap is attached to the bottle, the coating element is inserted into the interior of the shell. With the cap attached to the bottle, the coating agent, serving as the coating element, is immersed in the product.

[0004] Existing technical documents Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-501871 As mentioned above, when the coating is immersed in liquid cosmetic while the cap is attached to the bottle, a large amount of liquid cosmetic may adhere to the coating when the cap is removed. If a large amount of liquid cosmetic adheres to the coating, it may cause problems such as difficulty in evenly applying the liquid cosmetic, making it unusable. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic adheres to the coating to improve usability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a coating container that allows an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic to adhere to the coating body and improves usability.

[0006] (1) The coating container of this disclosure comprises: a lid for containing liquid cosmetic; a container body for attaching the lid; a coating body assembled to the container body and in contact with the liquid cosmetic contained inside the lid when the lid is attached to the container body; and a cylindrical wiper assembled inside the lid for inserting the coating body when the lid is attached to the container body. The wiper has: an opening located at the end of the wiper opposite to the container body, extending through the wiper in an axial direction extending as the axis of the wiper; and a through hole extending through the side of the wiper, allowing the liquid cosmetic to pass from the outside of the wiper to the inside of the wiper.

[0007] In this coating container, a cap containing liquid cosmetic is attached to the container body, and a coating body is also attached to the container body. The coating body comes into contact with the liquid cosmetic contained inside the cap when the cap is attached to the container body. A cylindrical wiper is installed inside the cap. The coating body is inserted into the wiper when the cap is attached to the container body. The wiper has: an opening extending through the wiper along its axial direction and located at the end of the wiper opposite to the container body; and a through-hole extending through the side of the wiper. The liquid cosmetic can pass through the opening and the through-hole from the outside of the wiper to the inside of the wiper. Therefore, when the cap is attached to the container body and when it is removed from the container body, the liquid cosmetic can flow through the opening and the through-hole, thus allowing a suitable amount of liquid cosmetic to adhere to the coating body. For example, when the cap is removed from the container body, the liquid cosmetic can flow from the outer surface of the coating body through the through-hole to the outside of the wiper, thus preventing a large amount of liquid cosmetic from adhering to the coating body. Therefore, allowing an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic to adhere to the coating can improve usability.

[0008] (2) In (1) above, the inner surface of the wiper may have a similar shape extending along the outer surface of the coating body. Alternatively, a through-hole may be formed in the similar shape. In this case, when attaching and removing the cap, the outer surface of the coating body moves along the similar shape, thereby allowing an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic to adhere to the outer surface of the coating body. Furthermore, it can suppress the expansion of the coating body caused by excessive liquid cosmetic, thus further improving usability.

[0009] (3) In (2) above, the inner surface of the wiper may have a dissimilar shape portion located on the side opposite to the container body of the similar shape portion, forming a space between it and the outer surface of the coating body inserted into the wiper. Alternatively, the distance from the dissimilar shape portion to the outer surface of the coating body may increase as it approaches the opening. In this case, the dissimilar shape portion, when viewed from the similar shape portion, is located on the side opposite to the container body, and the spatial distance between the dissimilar shape portion and the outer surface of the coating body increases as it approaches the opening. Therefore, the insertion of the coating body into the wiper is smooth, and coating body scattering is suppressed.

[0010] (4) In any of (1) to (3) above, the cap may be screwed onto the container body. Alternatively, when the cap is screwed onto the container body, the coating material moves along the axial direction inside the wiper. In this case, the coating material can reliably move along the axial direction as the cap is screwed onto the container body. That is, movement of the coating material in a direction inclined relative to the axial direction can be suppressed. Therefore, contact between the coating material and the inner surface of the wiper, preventing the coating material from scattering, can be suppressed.

[0011] (5) In (2) above, the opening may be formed at the end of a similar shaped part on the side opposite to the container body, or the coating body may protrude from the opening.

[0012] Invention Effects According to this disclosure, an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic can be adhered to the coating body, thereby improving usability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the coating container of this disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are labeled with the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted where appropriate. In the drawings, for ease of understanding, some parts may be simplified or exaggerated, and dimensions, ratios, etc., are not limited to those shown in the drawings.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a side view showing the coating container 1 according to this embodiment. The coating container 1 has a lid 2 and a container body 3 for attaching the lid 2. The coating container 1 is, for example, rod-shaped. As an example, the coating container 1 is cylindrical. The lid 2 is cylindrical with a bottom.

[0023] In the coating container 1, a component including a portion of the cover 2 is cylindrical. For example, in the coating container 1, the axis X of the cover 2 extends in the same direction as the axis of the component other than the cover 2. Hereinafter, the direction in which the axis X extends is defined as the axial direction D1. In this embodiment, the axial direction D1 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the coating container 1. In the coating container 1, the cover 2 and the container body 3 are arranged along the axial direction D1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the cap 2 is assembled to the container body 3 by rotating relative to the container body 3. Sometimes, the direction in which the components of the coating container 1 rotate about the axis X is referred to as the circumferential direction or rotational direction, and the direction orthogonal to both the circumferential and axial directions D1 is referred to as the radial direction. In a plane orthogonal to the axial direction D1, the direction away from the axis X is sometimes referred to as the radially outer direction, and the direction closer to the axis X is sometimes referred to as the radially inner direction. However, these directions are for ease of explanation and do not limit the arrangement or orientation of the components.

[0025] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the coating container 1 when it is cut along a plane including the X-axis. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the container body 3 includes, for example, a main body cylinder 4 arranged along the axial direction D1 with the cover 2, a front cylinder 6 protruding from the main body cylinder 4 into the interior of the cover 2, and a middle cylinder 5 located inside the front cylinder 6.

[0026] The cap 2 is attached to the container body 3 by screwing it in. More specifically, the front cylinder 6 has external threads 6b on its outer circumference, and the cap 2 has internal threads 2f on its inner circumference. The cap 2 is attached to the container body 3 by screwing the internal threads 2f into the external threads 6b. The material of the front cylinder 6 is, for example, polypropylene (PP). However, the material of the front cylinder 6 can also be other than PP, without particular limitation.

[0027] The cap 2 has an opening 2b for inserting the container body 3 (front cylinder 6), a side portion 2c, and a bottom 2d. The cap 2 contains a liquid cosmetic L. In this embodiment, the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic L is higher than that of an impregnated liquid cosmetic. For example, the viscosity of an impregnated liquid cosmetic is 5 Pa·s or more and 50 Pa·s or less, while the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic L is 50 Pa·s or more and 2200 Pa·s or less. The viscosity of the liquid cosmetic L may also be 100 Pa·s or more. In this embodiment, the liquid cosmetic L includes a pearlescent agent.

[0028] The coating container 1 has a wiper 7 fitted inside the lid 2 and a coating body 9 fitted to the container body 3. In this embodiment, the coating body 9 is a brush. The wiper 7 is cylindrical. When the lid 2 is attached to the container body 3, the coating body 9 is inserted into the wiper 7. The coating body 9 comes into contact with the liquid cosmetic L contained inside the lid 2 by, for example, shaking the coating container 1 after the lid 2 is attached to the container body 3. When the lid 2 is screwed into the container body 3, the coating body 9 moves along the axial direction D1 inside the wiper 7.

[0029] The coating container 1 has a stirring member 8 located between a wiper 7 inside the lid 2 and a bottom 2d. The stirring member 8 is located inside the liquid cosmetic L. When the coating container 1 is shaken, the stirring member 8 moves inside the liquid cosmetic L, thereby stirring the liquid cosmetic L. The stirring member 8 is, for example, spherical. The material of the stirring member 8 is, for example, metal (as an example, SUS (Steel Use Stainless)).

[0030] The main body cylinder 4 is a bottomed cylindrical shape. The front cylinder 6 has a flange portion 6c located between the cap 2 and the container body 3 when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 3, and a conical portion 6f protruding from the flange portion 6c to the side opposite to the main body cylinder 4. For example, the outer diameter of the conical portion 6f decreases as it moves away from the flange portion 6c. The conical portion 6f is cylindrical, and the coating body 9 is held inside the conical portion 6f 6d.

[0031] The middle cylinder 5 extends along the axial direction D1 inside the front cylinder 6, 6d. The middle cylinder 5, for example, has an annular recess 5b recessed into its outer periphery. For example, the coating container 1 has an O-ring (not shown) embedded in the annular recess 5b and in close contact with the inner surface of the front cylinder 6. In this case, leakage of liquid cosmetic L from between the middle cylinder 5 and the front cylinder 6 can be more reliably prevented.

[0032] Next, refer to Figure 3 Details of the composition of the wiper 7 and its surroundings are described. For example... Figure 3As shown, the coating body 9 has a brush holding portion 9b sandwiched between the front cylinder 6 and the middle cylinder 5, and a brush portion 9c extending from the brush holding portion 9b into the interior of the wiper 7. The brush portion 9c is a portion formed by bundling together multiple bristles that constitute the coating body 9. The thickness of the brush portion 9c decreases as it moves away from the brush holding portion 9b.

[0033] The wiper 7 has the function of preventing leakage of liquid cosmetic L inside the cover 2. The wiper 7 is made of, for example, a soft resin that can prevent leakage of liquid cosmetic L. As an example, the material of the wiper 7 is polypropylene (PP). However, the material of the wiper 7 can also be polyethylene (PE), as long as it can prevent leakage of liquid cosmetic L, there is no particular limitation.

[0034] Figure 4 This is a side view of the wiper 7. Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional view representing the wiper 7. (Example) Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the wiper 7 has an opening 7p located at the end of the wiper 7 opposite to the container body 3. As an example, the opening 7p is circular. The opening 7p extends through the wiper 7 along the axial direction D1. Liquid cosmetic L flows through the opening 7p. For example, liquid cosmetic L is supplied from the opening 7p to the coating body 9 located inside the wiper 7, and liquid cosmetic L that is not completely contained in the coating body 9 and remains inside the wiper 7 is discharged.

[0035] The wiper 7 has a fixing portion 7b, which is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 2, and a liquid flow portion 7c extending from the fixing portion 7b toward the opening 7p. The wiper 7 may also have a cylindrical portion 7d extending from the liquid flow portion 7c to the opening 7p. For example, the thickness of the liquid flow portion 7c decreases as it approaches the opening 7p. For example, the cross-section of the liquid flow portion 7c obtained by cutting with a plane orthogonal to the axial direction D1 is annular. In this case, the outer diameter of the liquid flow portion 7c decreases as it approaches the opening 7p.

[0036] The wiper 7 is fixed inside the cover 2 by being pressed into it. At this time, a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the fixing part 7b abuts against and adheres tightly to the inner surface of the cover 2. By ensuring that the fixing part 7b adheres tightly to the inner surface of the cover 2, leakage of liquid cosmetic L from the cover 2 is prevented.

[0037] The fixing part 7b is, for example, cylindrical. The minimum outer diameter of the fixing part 7b is larger than the maximum outer diameter of the liquid flow part 7c. The fixing part 7b has a first annular protrusion 7b1 located at the end of the wiper 7 opposite to the opening 7p, a second annular protrusion 7b3 located at the boundary between the fixing part 7b and the liquid flow part 7c, and an annular recess 7b2 located between the first annular protrusion 7b1 and the second annular protrusion 7b3. The fixing part 7b is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 2 by the first annular protrusion 7b1 and the second annular protrusion 7b3 being in close contact with the inner surface of the cover 2.

[0038] The liquid flow section 7c, for example, has a curved surface 7c1 located at the boundary with the fixed section 7b, an inclined surface 7c2 extending from the curved surface 7c1 toward the cylindrical section 7d, and a conical surface 7c3 located at the boundary with the cylindrical section 7d. The curved surface 7c1 is curved in a way that it is concave away from the fixed section 7b. The inclined surface 7c2, for example, is curved in a way that it is concave away from the curved surface 7c1 when viewed from the side. However, the inclined surface 7c2 may also extend in a straight line when viewed from the side. The conical surface 7c3 is the portion of the liquid flow section 7c that expands in diameter as it approaches the cylindrical section 7d.

[0039] The cylindrical portion 7d is, for example, cylindrical. The cylindrical portion 7d has an enlarged diameter relative to the liquid flow portion 7c. For example, the cylindrical portion 7d has an enlarged diameter portion 7d1 as the portion with an enlarged diameter relative to the liquid flow portion 7c and a curved surface 7d2 located between the enlarged diameter portion 7d1 and the opening 7p. The outer diameter of the curved surface 7d2 decreases as it approaches the opening 7p.

[0040] The wiper 7 has a through hole 7j that penetrates the side of the wiper 7. The through hole 7j is formed in the liquid flow section 7c. For example, the wiper 7 has an inclined surface 7k that slopes in a recessed manner from the outer peripheral surface of the liquid flow section 7c and extends in an annular shape to facilitate the flow of liquid cosmetic L. The through hole 7j is formed inside the inclined surface 7k.

[0041] The wiper 7, for example, has multiple through holes 7j. These through holes 7j are arranged radially. At the through holes 7j, liquid cosmetic L can pass from the outside of the wiper 7 through its interior. The through holes 7j are, for example, rounded trapezoidal. The length of the through hole 7j in the axial direction D1 is longer than its circumferential length. The circumferential length of the through hole 7j decreases as it approaches the opening 7p.

[0042] Examples of the lengths of the wiper 7 and the through-hole 7j will be explained. For example, the length of the wiper 7 in the axial direction D1 is 15 mm or more and 16 mm or less (15.45 mm as an example). The length of the through-hole 7j in the axial direction D1 is 3.0 mm or more and 4.8 mm or less. When the through-hole 7j is a rounded trapezoid as described above, the length of the upper bottom of the through-hole 7j is 0.6 mm or more and 1.0 mm or less, and the length of the lower bottom of the through-hole 7j is 1.0 mm or more and 1.4 mm or less. When the lengths of the wiper 7 and the through-hole 7j meet the above examples, a suitable amount of liquid cosmetic L can be supplied through the coating body 9 located inside the wiper 7. However, the lengths of the wiper 7 and the through-hole 7j are not limited to the above examples.

[0043] The inner surface of the wiper 7 has an abutment portion 7f for insertion into the top end of the front cylinder 6 of the cover 2, a similarly shaped portion 7g extending from the abutment portion 7f toward the opening 7p and along the outer surface of the coating body 9, and a dissimilarly shaped portion 7h located on the side of the similarly shaped portion 7g opposite to the container body 3. The abutment portion 7f is an annular recessed portion recessed on the inner surface of the wiper 7.

[0044] A similar-shaped portion 7g is formed inside the liquid flow portion 7c. A through hole 7j is formed in the similar-shaped portion 7g. The similar-shaped portion 7g is a portion that extends along the outer surface of the coating body 9 inserted into the interior of the wiper 7. The inner diameter of the similar-shaped portion 7g decreases as it approaches the opening 7p. For example, the similar-shaped portion 7g extends approximately parallel to the outer surface of the coating body 9. As a result, an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic L can be supplied to the coating body 9, the insertion of the coating body 9 into the interior of the wiper 7 can be performed smoothly, and the scattering of the brush portion 9c can be prevented, allowing for the tidying up of the unfolded brush after use. For example, the length of the similar-shaped portion 7g in the axial direction D1 can also be more than 50% of the length of the coating body 9 in the axial direction D1.

[0045] The coating body 9 inserted into the wiper 7 does not protrude from the opening 7p, but is located on the side closer to the container body 3 than the opening 7p. That is, the coating body 9 inserted into the wiper 7 is submerged in the opening 7p. For example, the tip of the coating body 9 inserted into the wiper 7 is located inside the cylindrical portion 7d, opposite the dissimilar shape portion 7h.

[0046] The dissimilar shape portion 7h is located inside the cylindrical portion 7d. The dissimilar shape portion 7h is a part of the inner surface of the wiper 7 whose shape is dissimilar to the outer surface of the coating body 9. The dissimilar shape portion 7h forms a space between itself and the outer surface of the coating body 9 inserted into the wiper 7. The distance from the dissimilar shape portion 7h to the outer surface of the coating body 9 increases as it approaches the opening 7p.

[0047] Next, the effects obtained by the coating container 1 of this embodiment will be explained. In the coating container 1, a cap 2 containing liquid cosmetic L is attached to a container body 3, and a coating body 9 is attached to the container body 3. After the cap 2 is attached to the container body 3, the coating body 9 comes into contact with the liquid cosmetic L contained inside the cap 2, for example, by shaking the coating container 1 after the cap 2 is attached to the container body 3. A cylindrical wiper 7 is mounted inside the cap 2. When the cap 2 is attached to the container body 3, the coating body 9 is inserted into the wiper 7. The wiper 7 has an opening 7p that penetrates the wiper 7 along the axial direction D1 and is located at the end of the wiper 7 on the side opposite to the container body 3, and a through hole 7j that penetrates the side of the wiper 7. The liquid cosmetic L can pass through the inside of the wiper 7 from the outside of the wiper 7 via the opening 7p and the through hole 7j.

[0048] Therefore, when the cap 2 is attached to the container body 3 and when the cap 2 is removed from the container body 3, the liquid cosmetic L can flow through the opening 7p and the through hole 7j, thus allowing an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic L to adhere to the coating body 9. For example, when the cap 2 is removed from the container body 3, the liquid cosmetic L can flow from the outer surface of the coating body 9 through the through hole 7j to the outside of the wiper 7, thus preventing a large amount of liquid cosmetic L from adhering to the coating body 9. Therefore, an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic L can adhere to the coating body 9, improving usability. By shaking the coating container 1 during use, the liquid cosmetic L flows from the through hole 7j of the wiper 7 through the interior of the wiper 7, allowing the liquid cosmetic L to penetrate into the coating body 9.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the wiper 7 has a similar-shaped portion 7g extending along the outer surface of the coating body 9. A through-hole 7j is formed in the similar-shaped portion 7g. In this case, when the cover 2 is attached and removed, the outer surface of the coating body 9 moves along the similar-shaped portion 7g, thereby allowing an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic L to adhere to the outer surface of the coating body 9. This suppresses the expansion of the coating body 9 due to excessive content of liquid cosmetic L, thus further improving usability. Furthermore, because the similar-shaped portion 7g extends along the outer surface of the brush portion 9c, it suppresses the scattering of the brush portion 9c when the coating body 9 is inserted into the wiper 7, allowing for the tidying up of the spread-out brush after use. Since the expansion of the coating body 9 at the similar-shaped portion 7g is suppressed, only an appropriate amount of liquid cosmetic L can be contained in the coating body 9. When the cover 2 is attached to the container body 3, the outer surface of the coating body 9 can be closed along the similar-shaped portion 7g.

[0050] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the wiper 7 has a dissimilar shape portion 7h, which is located on the side opposite to the container body 3 of the similar shape portion 7g, forming a space between it and the outer surface of the coating body 9 inserted into the wiper 7. The distance from the dissimilar shape portion 7h to the outer surface of the coating body 9 increases as it approaches the opening 7p. In this case, the dissimilar shape portion 7h, which is located on the side opposite to the container body 3 when viewed from the similar shape portion 7g, has a spatial distance from the outer surface of the coating body 9 that increases as it approaches the opening 7p. Therefore, the insertion of the coating body 9 into the interior of the wiper 7 is smooth, and the scattering of the coating body 9 is suppressed. For example, the inner diameter of the dissimilar shape portion 7h is less than 150% of the outer diameter of the coating body 9 excluding the liquid cosmetic L. In this case, a suitable gap can be formed between the outer surface of the coating body 9 and the dissimilar shape portion 7h, and the expansion and scattering of the coating body 9 can be suppressed.

[0051] In this embodiment, the wiper 7 includes a cylindrical portion 7d, which has an enlarged portion 7d1 that is larger in diameter relative to the liquid flow portion 7c. Compared to the internal space of the similar-shaped portion 7g, the internal space of the dissimilar-shaped portion 7h is enlarged. Therefore, by enlarging the opening 7p, clogging of the liquid cosmetic L at the periphery of the opening 7p is prevented, thereby avoiding bending of the coating body 9. Therefore, even when the viscosity of the liquid cosmetic L is high and it contains pearlescent agents, the coating container 1 can be used without any problems, thus further improving the usability of the coating container 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cap 2 is screwed onto the container body 3. When the cap 2 is screwed onto the container body 3, the coating body 9 moves along the axial direction D1 inside the wiper 7. In this case, the coating body 9 can reliably move along the axial direction D1 as the cap 2 is screwed onto the container body 3. That is, movement of the coating body 9 in a direction inclined relative to the axial direction D1 can be suppressed. Therefore, contact between the coating body 9 and the inner surface of the wiper 7, thereby preventing the coating body 9 from scattering, can be suppressed.

[0053] Next, the coating container of the modified example will be described. A portion of the coating container of the modified example described below is the same as a portion of the coating container 1 described above. Therefore, hereafter, the same reference numerals will be used for the same components as described above, and descriptions will be omitted as appropriate. Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of the periphery of the wiper 7A of the coating container 1A in a modified example.

[0054] Wiper 7A has a cylindrical portion 7r with a different shape from the cylindrical portion 7d described above. The cylindrical portion 7r extends from the end of the liquid flow portion 7c along the axial direction D1. Wiper 7A has a dissimilar shape portion 7s located inside the cylindrical portion 7r. The dissimilar shape portion 7s extends from the end of the similar shape portion 7g along the axial direction D1. An opening 7q is formed at the end of the dissimilar shape portion 7s on the side opposite to the similar shape portion 7g.

[0055] Figure 7 It means and Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of the periphery of the wiper 7B of a coating container 1B in a different variant. The wiper 7B differs from the wiper 7 described above in that it does not have a dissimilar shape portion 7h. In the wiper 7B, an opening 7t is formed at the end of the similar shape portion 7g on the side opposite to the container body 3, and the coating body 9 can protrude from the opening 7t. As an example, the amount by which the coating body 9 protrudes from the opening 7t is 2 mm.

[0056] The embodiments and various modifications of the coating container of this disclosure have been described above. However, the coating container of this disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments or modifications, and can be further modified within the scope of the spirit of the claims. That is, the shape, size, material, quantity, and arrangement of the various parts of the coating container of this disclosure can be appropriately changed within the scope of the above spirit.

[0057] For example, in the above embodiment, a coating container 1 in which the cap 2 is screwed onto the container body 3 has been described. However, a coating container in which the cap is not screwed onto the container body may also be used. For example, the container body may have a protrusion on its outer surface and the cap may have a recess on its inner surface, with the cap being attached to the container body by fitting the protrusion into the recess. Thus, there are no particular limitations on the configuration used to attach the cap to the container body.

[0058] In the above embodiments, the container body 3, including the main body 4, the middle body 5, and the front body 6, has been described. However, the types and numbers of components constituting the container body can be appropriately changed. In the above embodiments, the coating body 9, which serves as a brush, has been described. However, the coating body can also be a structure other than a brush. For example, the coating body can also be a pen tip formed by curing bundled fibers. Thus, the type of coating body can also be appropriately changed.
