Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cosmetics, and in particular to a tubular spiral cosmetic container. Background Technology

[0002] The design of the lipstick tube not only cleverly solves the problem of lipstick slipping, but also plays an important role in improving hygiene. Since lipstick is a cosmetic that comes into direct contact with the lips, its hygiene is naturally paramount. The non-rotatable lipstick tube design ensures that the lipstick will not accidentally come into contact with other objects during use, effectively reducing the risk of cross-contamination of bacteria.

[0003] In existing non-rotatable lipstick tubes, the rotation mechanism typically involves a cam perfectly aligned with the spiral's curve. This cam is an ingeniously designed wheel-like component whose curved edge closely matches the spiral. As the lipstick tube rotates, the cam's shape harmonizes with the spiral's curve, ensuring that rotational force is transmitted only along the spiral direction, thus preventing reverse rotation and achieving the lipstick tube's unidirectional rotation characteristic. However, this design is relatively complex, and its rotational stability needs improvement. When controlling the rotation angle, users may accidentally rotate it too much, easily leading to unnecessary waste of lipstick. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a tubular spiral cosmetic container that can rotate unidirectionally and easily control the rotation angle, thereby controlling the amount of cosmetic product dispensed.

[0005] The tubular spiral cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0006] The housing has a plurality of first slots on its inner wall, and the plurality of first slots are arranged along the circumference of the housing;

[0007] A container support is provided on the shell, and the container support is provided with a screw.

[0008] A rotating bracket is rotatably mounted on the housing. The rotating bracket has an internal thread and a first snap-fit ​​block. The screw engages with the internal thread. The first snap-fit ​​block is located on the side wall of the rotating bracket and has an inclined surface. The rotating bracket rotates relative to the housing so that the inclined surface abuts against one side wall of the first slot, allowing the first snap-fit ​​block to pass through the first slot and move to the next first slot.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first snap-fit ​​block is provided with an extension portion, the extension portion extends circumferentially along the rotating bracket, and the inclined surface is provided at the end of the extension portion.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the straight line intersecting the inclined plane and the side wall of the rotating bracket is defined as the first straight line, the plane tangent to the side wall of the rotating bracket and intersecting the first straight line is defined as the first tangent plane, and the angle between the first tangent plane and the inclined plane is defined as an acute angle.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a protrusion is provided between adjacent first slots. The protrusion is one or more of the following shapes: arc, polygon, and trapezoid. The protrusion can abut against the inclined surface.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing is provided with a limiting groove, and the cross-section of the screw is adapted to the limiting groove.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first snap-fit ​​block is provided with a blocking surface, which is located on the side opposite to the inclined surface. The blocking surface is used to abut against the other side wall of the first slot to prevent the first snap-fit ​​block from moving to the other first slot.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the straight line intersecting the inclined plane and the side wall of the rotating bracket is defined as the first straight line, the plane tangent to the side wall of the rotating bracket and intersecting the first straight line is defined as the first tangent plane, and the included angle between the first tangent plane and the blocking surface is a right angle or an obtuse angle.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the screw is provided with a limiting block, which can abut against the housing or the rotating bracket.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a drive handle is also included, which is rotatably disposed on the housing and is used to drive the rotating bracket to rotate.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the drive handle and the rotating bracket is provided with a second slot, and the other is provided with a second locking block. The second slot and the second locking block cooperate to enable the drive handle to drive the rotating bracket to rotate.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the upper part of the rotating bracket (300) is provided with a notch (350) on its periphery.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The rotating bracket and container bracket are threaded together, allowing the container bracket to move vertically by rotating the rotating bracket. The first slot and the first locking block engage, preventing the container bracket from rotating. When the rotating bracket is rotated by external force, the inclined surface of the first locking block abuts against one side wall of the first slot. The first locking block undergoes slight elastic deformation under external force, allowing it to move from the first slot to the next slot. This allows the rotating bracket to rotate in the direction of the inclined surface, but not in the opposite direction. The housing contains multiple first slots, and the first locking component can engage with different slots. When the rotating bracket is rotated, each time the inclined surface abuts against the side wall of the first slot, the user's external force is obstructed, resulting in a lag or a sound. The number of lags or sounds indicates the rotation angle, which helps control the amount of cosmetic product dispensed.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-6 The basic embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a tubular spiral cosmetic container, comprising:

[0043] The housing 100 has a plurality of first slots 110 on its inner wall, and the plurality of first slots 110 are arranged along the circumference of the housing 100;

[0044] A container support 200 is provided on the shell 100, and the container support 200 is provided with a screw 210;

[0045] A rotating bracket 300 is rotatably mounted on the housing 100. The rotating bracket 300 is provided with an internal thread 310 and a first locking block 320. The screw 210 is engaged with the internal thread 310. The first locking block 320 is provided on the side wall of the rotating bracket 300. The first locking block 320 is provided with an inclined surface 321. The rotating bracket 300 rotates relative to the housing 100, so that the inclined surface 321 abuts against one side wall of the first locking groove 110, allowing the first locking block 320 to pass through the first locking groove 110 and move to the next first locking groove 110.

[0046] According to the embodiments of this utility model, by such a configuration, at least the following effects can be achieved: Through the threaded engagement of the rotating bracket 300 and the container bracket 200, rotating the rotating bracket 300 allows the container bracket 200 to move vertically; through the engagement of the first slot 110 and the first engaging block 320, the first engaging block 320 can engage with the first slot 110, preventing the container bracket 200 from rotating; when the rotating bracket 300 is rotated by external force, the inclined surface 321 of the first engaging block 320 abuts against one side wall of the first slot 110, and the first engaging block 320 can slightly elastically deform under external force. The shape allows the first locking block 320 to pass through the original first locking slot 110 to the next first locking slot 110, enabling the rotating bracket 300 to rotate in the direction of the inclined plane 321, but not in the opposite direction. The housing 100 is provided with multiple first locking slots 110, and the first locking member can cooperate with different first locking slots 110 respectively. When rotating the rotating bracket 300, each time the inclined plane 321 and the side wall of the first locking slot 110 abut and deform, the user's external force will be obstructed, resulting in a sense of lag or a sound. The number of times the sense of lag or sound is generated can be used to judge the rotation angle, which is helpful to control the amount of cosmetic product dispensed.

[0047] It is understandable that the circumferential direction refers to the circular sidewalls of the corresponding structure, forming a circle along the circumferential direction.

[0048] It is understandable that the inclined surface 321 can be a plane, an arc surface or an irregular surface. Here, the inclined surface 321 refers to a plane with a certain inclination relative to the first tangent surface, so that the resistance can be reduced after the inclined surface 321 comes into contact with the side wall of the first slot 110.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first latching block 320 is provided with an extension 330, which extends circumferentially along the rotating bracket 300, and an inclined surface 321 is provided at the end of the extension 330. The extension 330 can extend the circumferential length of the first latching block 320, which is beneficial for the latching block to deform and move in a direction close to or away from the center of the rotating bracket 300, and is beneficial for the first latching block 320 to move through the first latching slot 110 to the next first latching slot 110.

[0050] In some embodiments, the straight line intersecting the inclined plane 321 and the side wall of the rotating bracket 300 is designated as the first straight line, and the plane tangent to the side wall of the rotating bracket 300 and intersecting the first straight line is designated as the first tangent plane. The angle between the first tangent plane and the inclined plane 321 is an acute angle. The smaller angle of the inclined plane 321 helps to reduce the resistance between the inclined plane 321 and the side wall of the rotating bracket 300, making it easier for the user to rotate the rotating bracket 300 and facilitating its use.

[0051] In some embodiments, a protrusion 120 is provided between adjacent first slots 110. The protrusion 120 is a combination of one or more of the following: arc shape, polygon shape, and trapezoid shape. The protrusion 120 can abut against the inclined surface 321. The shape of the protrusion 120 can be various. An arc shape helps to reduce the resistance between the first latching block 320 and the first slot 110. A polygon or trapezoid can have an inclined side, which can also reduce resistance. A polygon or trapezoid can have a vertical side, which can increase resistance and prevent reverse rotation. With various combinations, it is understood that setting one side of the polygon or trapezoid to be arc shape helps to reduce rotational resistance.

[0052] In some embodiments, the housing 100 is provided with a limiting groove 130, and the cross-section of the screw 210 is adapted to the limiting groove 130. The limiting groove 130 is used to prevent the container support 200 from rotating, so that the rotating support 300 cannot drive the container support 200 to rotate, but the rotating support 300 can move up and down under the cooperation of the screw 210 and the internal thread 310.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first latching block 320 is provided with a blocking surface 322, which is located on the side opposite to the inclined surface 321. The blocking surface 322 is used to abut against the other side wall of the first latching slot 110, preventing the first latching block 320 from moving to the other first latching slot 110. The blocking surface 322 is used to increase the resistance between the side wall and the blocking surface 322, preventing the rotating bracket 300 from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0054] In some embodiments, the straight line intersecting the inclined plane 321 and the side wall of the rotating bracket 300 is designated as the first straight line, and the plane tangent to the side wall of the rotating bracket 300 and intersecting the first straight line is designated as the first tangent plane. The angle between the first tangent plane and the blocking surface 322 is either a right angle or an obtuse angle. The right angle or obtuse angle can increase the resistance between the side wall and the blocking surface 322, preventing the rotating bracket 300 from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, the screw 210 is provided with a limiting block 211, which can abut against the housing 100 or the rotating bracket 300. The container bracket 200 moves upward until the limiting block 211 abuts against the housing 100, preventing the container bracket 200 from detaching from the housing 100 and causing structural damage.

[0056] In some embodiments, a drive handle 400 is further included. The drive handle 400 is rotatably disposed on the housing 100 and is used to drive the rotating bracket 300 to rotate. The drive handle 400 is used to rotate the housing 100 and to enclose the rotating bracket 300, so that the rotating bracket 300 is not directly exposed to external forces, thus providing protection.

[0057] In some embodiments, the drive handle 400 and the rotating bracket 300 each have a second slot 340 and a second engaging block 410, respectively. The second slot 340 and the second engaging block 410 cooperate to enable the drive handle 400 to drive the rotating bracket 300 to rotate.

[0058] refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the upper part of the rotating bracket 300 has a notch 350 on its periphery. There may be one or more notches, which are distributed around the axis of the rotating bracket, so that the upper part of the rotating bracket is divided into multiple individual parts and connected to the lower part of the rotating bracket, so that the upper part of the rotating bracket has the ability to deform slightly, which is beneficial to the installation and assembly of lipstick.

[0059] It should be noted that in this specification, terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "basic embodiment", and "extended embodiment" may be used to describe several embodiments of the present invention, and the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics of the several embodiments may be combined in accordance with the principles and spirit of the present invention.

[0060] Although some embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described in this specification, the present utility model should not be limited to the above embodiments. As long as they achieve the technical effects of the present utility model by the same or equivalent means, any changes, modifications, equivalent substitutions and equivalent variations of these embodiments within the spirit and principles disclosed in the present utility model, without departing from the principles and purpose of the present utility model, should be included within the scope of protection disclosed in the present utility model and should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
