Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tools for scooping and applying creams and ointments, and particularly to applicators. Background Technology
[0002] When using creams and ointments such as face cream and hand cream, some people scoop out the cream from the container with their bare hands and apply it directly. This method can easily introduce contamination into the container and shorten the product's lifespan. To address this, some cream products come with a spatula or applicator. Consumers can use the spatula to scoop out the cream and then use the applicator to apply and massage it in, or use the spatula directly as an application and massage tool.
[0003] Correspondingly, if the size of the spatula is set too small, the area of the application surface (massage surface) of the spatula will also be small, making it inconvenient to use; if the size of the spatula is set too large, when dealing with products with small bottle openings, the spatula will not be able to reach into the small bottle opening container. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address or mitigate at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides an application stick.
[0005] The application stick provided in this embodiment includes: an application stick body, which is straight-walled; and a movable sleeve, which is sleeved on the outside of the application stick body. The movable sleeve is movable relative to the application stick body in the axial direction of the application stick body. When the movable sleeve moves to one end of the application stick body, one end surface of the movable sleeve and the end surface of the same end of the application stick body together form the massage surface of the application stick. When the movable sleeve moves to the other end of the application stick body, one end of the application stick body can be used as a tool for scooping out creams or ointments.
[0006] In one embodiment, the end surface of the movable sleeve and the end surface of the main body are formed as arc surfaces with the same radius of curvature.
[0007] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the applicator body and the inner peripheral surface of the movable sleeve abut against each other over the entire circumference, such that after the cream-like product is scooped up at one end of the applicator body, when the movable sleeve moves to one end of the applicator body, the movable sleeve can push the cream-like product on the outer peripheral surface of the applicator body to the massage surface formed by the end surface of the movable sleeve and the end surface of the body.
[0008] In one embodiment, the two ends of the applicator body are respectively provided with stop structures, and when the movable sleeve moves to the two ends of the applicator body, it can abut against the stop structures in the axial direction.
[0009] In one embodiment, the stop structure located at one end of the body of the applicator is formed as a digging portion, the digging portion having an outer peripheral surface and a first end surface formed as a plane, the first end surface constituting the end surface of the body, and the outer peripheral surface being a bowl-shaped outer peripheral surface with a larger radius as it is closer to the first end surface.
[0010] In one embodiment, the other end of the movable sleeve has an axial contact plane located outside the stop structure, the contact plane having a movable sleeve groove. After the movable sleeve moves toward the other end of the applicator body, the other end of the applicator body is located in the movable sleeve groove, and the contact plane can extend beyond the second end face of the other end of the applicator body. Furthermore, when the stop structure is placed on a placement plane while the movable sleeve is moved to the other end of the applicator body, the axial contact plane also abuts against the placement plane.
[0011] In one embodiment, at least one end of the applicator body is provided with a snap-fit structure, and the movable sleeve is configured such that after the movable sleeve moves to one end of the applicator body, the movable sleeve and the snap-fit structure can be locked at least in the axial direction and can be unlocked in a controlled manner.
[0012] In one embodiment, the movable sleeve includes a movable sleeve main body portion fitted onto the body of the applicator stick and a massage plate integrally formed with the movable sleeve main body portion and located on the outside of the body of the applicator stick. The axial length of the massage plate is not less than 1 / 2 of the axial length of the body of the applicator stick, and the two sides of the massage plate also constitute the massage surface.
[0013] In one embodiment, the movable sleeve includes a first movable sleeve portion and a second movable sleeve portion. The first movable sleeve portion is formed as a cylindrical structure that is movably sleeved on the outside of the body of the applicator stick. The first movable sleeve portion protrudes from the second movable sleeve portion in a direction toward the other end of the body of the applicator stick so that it can be held. The second movable sleeve portion is used to form the massage surface.
[0014] In one embodiment, the massage surface formed by the end surface of the movable sleeve and the end surface of the main body is made of resin, bamboo, ceramic, metal, or stone, or the movable sleeve includes a makeup puff or beauty sponge at one axial end.
[0015] When the movable sleeve of this application is located at the other end of the applicator body, the applicator body can be used as a digging tool; after the movable sleeve moves to one end of the applicator body, the surface of the movable sleeve and the end surface of the applicator body together form a massage surface. That is, by changing the position of the movable sleeve, a larger application and massage area can be achieved, and it can also handle cosmetics such as face cream with small bottle openings.

[0050] Exemplary embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific descriptions are for teaching those skilled in the art how to implement this application only, and are not intended to exhaustively describe all possible methods of this application, nor to limit the scope of this application.
[0051] See Figure 1 This application provides an applicator, which may include an applicator body 100 and a movable sleeve 200.
[0052] The body 100 of the applicator stick can be straight-walled, and its cross-section can be circular (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (as shown), square, oval (as shown) Figure 5 (as shown) or various styles of irregular shapes.
[0053] See Figure 2 , Figure 3The movable sleeve 200 is fitted onto the outside of the applicator body 100, and the outer peripheral surface 220 of the movable sleeve 200 is formed into various shapes such as a conical surface or a curved surface. The axes of the applicator body 100 and the movable sleeve 200 can be collinear, or they can be set to be non-collinear.
[0054] Along the axial direction of the applicator body 100, the movable sleeve 200 can move relative to the applicator body 100. When the movable sleeve 200 moves to one end of the applicator body 100, the movable sleeve end surface 210 of the movable sleeve 200 and the same end body end surface 110 of the applicator body 100 together form the massage surface of the applicator. When the movable sleeve 200 moves to the other end of the applicator body 100, one end of the applicator body 100 can be used as a tool for scooping out creams and ointments.
[0055] Therefore, when the movable sleeve 200 is located at the other end of the applicator body, the applicator body 100 can be used as a scooping tool; and when the movable sleeve 200 moves to one end of the applicator body 100, the end surface 210 of the movable sleeve and the end surface 110 of the applicator body together form a massage surface, which can achieve a larger application and massage area and can also handle cosmetics such as face cream with small bottle openings.
[0056] In one embodiment, the movable sleeve end surface 210 and the main body end surface 110 are formed as arc surfaces with the same radius of curvature, making the massage process smoother and minimizing the risk of cosmetics such as face cream getting stuck in the gap between the movable sleeve end surface 210 and the main body end surface 110. Of course, the radius of curvature can also be slightly different to achieve a smooth transition.
[0057] In one embodiment, the movable sleeve end surface 210 and / or the main body end surface 110 are formed as planes. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the end surface 210 of the movable sleeve can be formed as a plane. For example... Figure 14 As shown, the end surface 110 of the main body can be formed as a plane. Of course, the end surface 210 of the movable sleeve and the end surface 110 of the main body can also be curved surfaces.
[0058] In one implementation, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8The movable sleeve 200 includes a first movable sleeve portion 201 and a second movable sleeve portion 202. The first movable sleeve portion 201 is formed as a cylindrical structure that is movably sleeved on the outside of the applicator body 100. The first movable sleeve portion 201 protrudes from the second movable sleeve portion 202 in the direction toward the other end of the applicator body 100 so that it can be held. The second movable sleeve portion 202 is used to form a massage surface. Exemplarily, the second movable sleeve portion 202 is formed as a cylindrical structure fixedly disposed at one end of the first movable sleeve portion 201, and the diameter of the first movable sleeve portion 201 is smaller than the diameter of the second movable sleeve portion 202. Of course, this application does not limit the specific shape of the first movable sleeve portion 201 and the second movable sleeve portion 202.
[0059] In one implementation, see Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 14 The outer circumferential surface of the applicator body 100 and the inner circumferential surface of the movable sleeve 200 are in contact throughout the entire circumference, so that after the applicator body 100 scoops out a cream or ointment product at one end, when the movable sleeve 200 moves to one end of the applicator body 100, the movable sleeve 200 can push the cream or ointment product on the outer circumferential surface of the applicator body 100 to the massage surface jointly formed by the end surface 210 of the movable sleeve and the end surface 110 of the body.
[0060] In one implementation, see Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 14 The two ends of the applicator body 100 are respectively provided with stop structures 300. When the moving sleeve 200 moves to the two ends of the applicator body 100, it can abut against the stop structures 300 in the axial direction.
[0061] In one implementation, see Figure 14 One end of the body 100 of the applicator ( Figure 14 The stop structure 300 at the upper end of the container can be formed as a digging part 310. The digging part 310 has an outer peripheral surface 311 and a first end surface 312 formed as a plane. The first end surface 312 is configured as the main body end surface 110. The outer peripheral surface 311 can be a bowl-shaped outer peripheral surface with a larger radius as it is closer to the first end surface 312. The transition edges of the outer peripheral surface 311 and the first end surface 312 facilitate digging at the corners of the container, improving the digging effect.
[0062] In one implementation, see Figure 14 The other end of the movable sleeve 200 ( Figure 14The lower end of the applicator 200 has an axial contact plane 230 located outside the stop structure 300. The contact plane has a movable sleeve groove 260. After the movable sleeve 200 moves towards the other end of the applicator body 100, the other end of the applicator body 100 is located in the movable sleeve groove 260. The contact plane 230 can extend beyond the second end face 313 of the other end of the applicator body 100. The design of the movable sleeve groove 260 allows the movable sleeve 200 to be as far away from the application surface as possible, thereby making full use of the length of the applicator body 100. Correspondingly, the design length of the applicator body 100 can be shorter, resulting in higher portability.
[0063] When the movable sleeve 200 is moved to the other end of the applicator body 100, and the stop structure 300 is placed on a placement surface (e.g., a table), the axial contact surface 230 also contacts the placement surface, so that the applicator can be placed vertically on the table when not in use, increasing stability.
[0064] In one embodiment, at least one end of the applicator body 100 is provided with a snap-fit structure. The movable sleeve 200 is configured such that after the movable sleeve 200 moves to one end of the applicator body 100, the movable sleeve 200 and the snap-fit structure can be locked at least axially and can be unlocked in a controlled manner. Thus, in the application and massage scenario, the position of the movable sleeve 200 can be restricted, facilitating the application and massage process. For example, the snap-fit structure may include a groove provided on the outer peripheral surface 220 of the applicator body 100, in which a radially extending spring pin is provided. For instance, after the movable sleeve 200 moves to one end of the applicator body 100, the spring pin pops out from the groove and locks the movable sleeve 200. By manually or otherwise pressing the spring pin, the locking state can be released, allowing the movable sleeve 200 to move to the other end. Of course, this application does not limit the specific form of the snap-fit structure; a snap-fit structure may also be omitted, and the user can manually restrict the position of the movable sleeve 200.
[0065] In one embodiment, an axially extending spring may be embedded within the applicator body 100, which abuts against a movable sleeve 200, thereby confining the movable sleeve 200 to one end of the applicator body 100. When cosmetics need to be scooped out, the movable sleeve 200 can be manually moved, compressing the spring; after the cosmetics are scooped out, the movable sleeve 200 is confined to one end of the applicator body 100 under the action of the spring, providing a massage surface.
[0066] In one implementation, see Figure 15 , Figure 16The movable sleeve 200 may include a movable sleeve main body 240 fitted onto the applicator body 100 and a massage plate 250 integrally formed with the movable sleeve main body 240 and located on the outside of the applicator body 100. The axial length of the massage plate 250 is not less than half the axial length of the applicator body 100, and the two sides 251 of the massage plate 250 also constitute massage surfaces. The area of the side surfaces 251 can be set to be large, and the shape can conform to the facial contours to improve massage comfort. The bottom surface of the massage plate 250 also forms a planar axial contact surface 230 to facilitate horizontal placement of the applicator.
[0067] In one embodiment, the massage surface formed by the movable sleeve end surface 210 and the main body end surface 110 can be made of a hard material such as resin, bamboo (bamboo, wood or existing composite materials), ceramic, metal, or stone. Alternatively, one axial end of the movable sleeve 200 may include a makeup puff (such as...). Figure 8 (as shown) or beauty blender (such as) Figure 11 As shown in the figure, its material can be soft materials such as foam sponge and silicone.
[0068] Of course, the technical features of the aforementioned embodiments can be combined in a reasonable manner.
[0069] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
