Description

Title of the invention: Sieve for cosmetic container and cosmetic container technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a sieve for a cosmetic container, and the cosmetic container itself. art context

[0002] A cosmetic container comprises a body holding a cosmetic composition and a mesh sieve covering the cosmetic composition. A user can take the cosmetic composition through the mesh sieve, for example by pushing an applicator such as a powder puff over the mesh sieve.

[0003] However, the user's pushing force tends to concentrate on a central portion of the mesh sieve, causing the cosmetic composition to overflow through an outer portion, in particular an outer periphery, of the mesh sieve. disclosure of the invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a sieve for a cosmetic container, and the cosmetic container itself, which can reduce overflow at the level of the outer portion of the sieve of the cosmetic container.

[0005] To achieve the object described above, one aspect of the present invention provides a sieve for a cosmetic container. The sieve comprises a mesh-shaped sheet substrate having a plurality of openings. The sheet substrate has a closure pattern consisting of at least one closure domain that at least partially closes the plurality of openings. A closure area in which the at least one closure domain at least partially closes the plurality of openings is larger in an outer portion of the sheet substrate than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate. In this document, "at least partially closes" means partially or completely closing. "Partially closing" means reducing the hole size of an opening by any means, and "completely closing" means blocking the entirety of an opening by any means.By partially closing an opening, the hole size of that opening becomes smaller than that of the other (unclosed) openings.

[0006] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closing domain can be composed of at least one closing portion, each closing portion continuously closing one or more openings on the sheet substrate.

[0007] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closure domain can be composed of a plurality of closure portions which are arranged in an annular fashion on the leaf substrate.

[0008] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closure domain can be composed of a plurality of closure portions which are arranged in series from a center of the sheet substrate to a peripheral end of the sheet substrate.

[0009] According to one aspect of the sieve, the areas of the plurality of closure portions which are arranged in series can increase from the center of the sheet substrate towards the peripheral end of the sheet substrate.

[0010] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closure pattern may include a first closure domain closer to a center of the sheet substrate and a second closure domain further from the center of the sheet substrate, and the closure area of ​​the second closure domain may be larger than that of the first closure domain.

[0011] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closure pattern may consist of a continuous closure portion that closes one or more openings, the closure portion having an inner end oriented towards a center of the sheet substrate and an outer end oriented towards a peripheral end of the sheet substrate, and an area of ​​a portion of the closure portion that is closer to the outer end than to the inner end may be greater than that of an area of ​​a portion of the closure portion that is closer to the inner end than to the outer end.

[0012] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closure area in an outer region composed of a set of points P satisfying dl>d2 can be larger than the closure area in an inner region composed of a set of points P satisfying dl <d2, où dl est une distance entre le point P sur le substrat en feuille et un centre du substrat en feuille, et d2 est une distance entre un point P sur le substrat en feuille et une extrémité périphérique du substrat en feuille, dans une vue en plan du plan de feuille du substrat en feuille.

[0013] According to one aspect of the sieve, a ratio between the closure area in an outer region composed of a set of points P satisfying dl>d2 and an overall area of ​​the outer region can be greater than a ratio between the closure area in an inner region composed of a set of points P satisfying dl <d2 et une aire globale de la région intérieure, où dl est une distance entre un point P sur le substrat en feuille et un centre du substrat en feuille, et d2 est une distance entre le point P sur le substrat en feuille et une extrémité périphérique du substrat en feuille, dans une vue en plan du plan de feuille du substrat en feuille.

[0014] According to one aspect of the sieve, if the sheet substrate is divided into n regions (n ​​is an integer greater than 1) from the first innermost region to the nth outermost region so as to divide equally the distance between a center of the sheet substrate and a peripheral end of the sheet substrate into n sections, the closure area in the kth region (k is an integer between 2 and n) is greater than the closure area in the (k-1)th region.

[0015] According to one aspect of the sieve, the sheet substrate can be made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyolefin, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylidene chloride, polyether ester, polyacrylonitrile, metal, glass fiber and carbon fiber.

[0016] According to one aspect of the sieve, the sheet substrate can be made of a fabric material.

[0017] According to one aspect of the sieve, at least one closing domain may include welded portions in which part of the plurality of openings is closed by welding.

[0018] According to one aspect of the sieve, the closure pattern can be composed of a plurality of closure domains arranged radially on the sheet substrate.

[0019] Another aspect of the present invention provides a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container comprises a body configured to hold a cosmetic composition, and a sieve according to any one of the above aspects, which is mounted on the body to cover the cosmetic composition. Brief description of the drawings

[0020] Non-limiting and representative embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail below, with reference to the accompanying drawings in order to better understand the present invention.

[0021] [Fig-1] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the cosmetic container 1 according to a method of implementation.

[0022] [Fig.2] The [Fig.2] is a plan view of the sieve 20 for the cosmetic container 1 according to the embodiment.

[0023] [Figs. 3 - 19] Figures 3 to 19 are plan views of variations of the sieve 20 for the cosmetic container 1 according to the embodiment. Best embodiment of the invention

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The XYZ coordinate system is defined as shown in the drawings, but this is not intended to limit the invention.

[0025] A sieve for a cosmetic container and the cosmetic container will be described below through an example. Cosmetic container

[0026] A cosmetic container 1 according to one embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cosmetic container 1 according to the embodiment. Figure 2 is a plan view of the sieve 20 for the cosmetic container 1 according to the embodiment.

[0027] With reference to [Fig. 1], the cosmetic container 1 comprises a body 10 and a sieve 20 mounted on the body 10. The cosmetic container 1 contains a cosmetic composition C in the body 10. The sieve 20 covers the cosmetic composition C to allow a user to take the cosmetic composition C through the sieve 20.

[0028] It should be noted that the shape of the cosmetic container 1 in [Fig. 1] is only an example, and that the cosmetic container 1 can be any type of container in any shape. For example, the cosmetic container 1 can be a cosmetic jar having a cylindrical body containing the cosmetic composition C.

[0029] (Cosmetic composition C)

[0030] The cosmetic composition C consists of any type of cosmetic material. The user dispenses the cosmetic composition C through the sieve 20 and applies it to the skin. The cosmetic composition C can be in any form, such as a liquid, a cream, a liquid cream foundation, a powder (e.g., hot-poured powder, pressed powder, or loose powder), or a solid. In particular, if the cosmetic composition C is a liquid or a cream, the force exerted by the user tends to easily cause the cosmetic composition C to overflow at a peripheral portion of the receptacle 12 through the sieve 20.

[0031] (Body 10)

[0032] The body 10 is a main portion of the cosmetic container 1 for receiving the cosmetic composition C. The body 10 includes a receptacle 12, an inner lid 14, and an outer lid 16.

[0033] The receptacle 12 has a recess to receive the cosmetic composition C inside. The receptacle 12 serves as the base portion of the body 10. The upper end of the receptacle 12 is provided with the sieve 20.

[0034] The inner cover 14 is a covering element for the receptacle 12. The inner cover 14 is hinged on the side of the receptacle 12 and configured to open and close the cavity of the receptacle 12. The inner cover 14 covers the sieve 20 and the cosmetic composition C to prevent any leakage of the cosmetic composition C.

[0035] The outer cover 16 is an external covering element of the body 10. The outer cover 16 is hinged to the side of the receptacle 12 in a different position from that of the inner cover 14. The outer cover 16 covers the inner cover 14 to hermetically seal the interior space of the body 10. A mirror 18 may be provided on the inner side of the outer cover 16 so that the user can use it for applying makeup. In a closed state, there may be a space between the inner lid 14 and the outer lid 16 to accommodate an applicator such as a powder puff, which is used to pick up the cosmetic composition C through the sieve 20.

[0036] (Sieve 20)

[0037] The sieve 20 covers the cosmetic composition C housed in the receptacle 12 to prevent the cosmetic composition C from escaping the receptacle 12. The sieve 20 has a mesh structure to allow the user to collect the cosmetic composition C through it while controlling the amount of cosmetic composition C supplied. The mesh structure means a structure having many small openings like a net or a sieve.

[0038] The sieve 20 comprises a sheet substrate 22. The sheet substrate 22 is formed into a mesh structure with a plurality of openings 24 on it. The openings 24 are arranged in any way on the sheet substrate 22, for example regularly or randomly.

[0039] The sheet substrate 22 can be made of any material. For example, the sheet substrate 22 is made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyolefin, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylidene chloride, polyether ester, polyacrylonitrile, UV-curable resin, metal, glass fiber, and carbon fiber. Preferably, the sheet substrate 22 is made of a fabric material. The sheet substrate 22 can be manufactured by 3D printing, for example, from a UV-curable resin.

[0040] The sieve 20 has a closure pattern 30 that partially closes the openings 24. The closed openings 24 prevent the cosmetic composition C from passing through. Consequently, the cosmetic composition C can pass through the sieve 20 at positions where the openings 24 are not closed by the closure pattern 30. The closure pattern can also serve as an aesthetic decoration on the sieve 20 to attract consumers.

[0041] In Figures 1 and 2, the closure motif 30 is a radial motif composed of regularly arranged circles. The closure motif 30 includes three types of circles. The first circles 40 are the smallest, the second circles 42 are the second smallest, and the third circles 44 are the largest. The first circles 40 are the innermost and arranged in a ring, the third circles 44 are the outermost and arranged in a ring, and the second circles 42 are arranged in a ring between the first circles 40 and the third circles 44.

[0042] Here, each circle can be called a closing portion 34 which continuously closes one or more openings 24. As used here, "continuously closes" means closing a single opening or the closure of two or more openings, each closed opening being adjacent to another closed opening. The closure portion 34 is formed according to a predetermined shape and arranged in a predetermined pattern to form the closure pattern 30 as a whole. In this case, the further the closure portion 34 is positioned from the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22, the larger the area of ​​the closure portion 34.

[0043] In this document, a "closure domain" is defined as an intermediate element between the "closure portion" and the "closure pattern." The closure domain 32 is a group of one or more closure portions 34, which together form a predetermined shape and serve as part of the entire closure pattern. For example, in the example shown in Figures 1 and 2, the annular set of the first circles 40 forms the first closure domain 32a, the annular set of the second circles 42 forms the second closure domain 32b, and the annular set of the third circles 44 forms the third closure domain 32c. In other words, the closure domain 32 is composed of one or more closure portions, and the closure pattern 30 is composed of one or more closure domains 32.In this case, the closure domain 32 is composed of the closure portion 34 arranged in an annular manner on the sheet substrate 22. Unlike the continuous closure portion 34, the closure domain 32 can include several closure portions 34 spaced apart from each other, and thus the closure domain 32 can include not only the closure portions 34 but also a part of the openings 24.

[0044] In this embodiment, the closure area of ​​the third closure domain 32c is larger than that of the second closure domain 32b, and the closure area of ​​the second closure domain 32b is larger than that of the first closure domain 32a. As used in this document, "closure area" means the total area of ​​closure portions (each closure portion being a continuous portion in which the openings 24 are continuously closed) within a certain domain. For example, the closure area of ​​the first closure domain 32a is calculated by adding the areas of all the first circles 40 that are included in the first closure domain 32a. Consequently, the closure area in which the closure domain 32 closes the openings 24 is larger in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.In this case, the closure area of ​​the closure domain 32 further from the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 is larger than the closure area of ​​the closure domain 32 closer to the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22. In other words, the further the closure domain 32 is positioned from the center 26 on the sheet substrate 22, the larger the closure area of ​​the closure domain. 32 is large.

[0045] Alternatively, each closure domain 32 can be composed of a closure portion 34. For example, as shown in [Fig. 2], the first closure domain 32a' can be identical to a first circle 40 (a closure portion 34), the second closure domain 32b' can be identical to a second circle 42 (a closure portion 34), and the third closure domain 32c' can be identical to a third circle 44 (a closure portion 34). Even in this way, the closure area in which the closure domain 32' closes the openings 24 is larger in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.

[0046] Here, a point P on the sheet substrate 22 is given as shown in [Fig. 2]. In a plan view of the sheet plane of the sheet substrate 22 as in [Fig. 2], the distance dl is defined as the distance between point P and the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22, and the distance d2 is defined as the distance between point P and the peripheral end 28 of the sheet substrate 22. An interior region 22a of the sheet substrate 22 is defined as a region composed of a set of points P that satisfy dl <d2, et une région extérieure 22b du substrat en feuille 22 est définie comme une région composée d’un ensemble de points P qui satisfont dl> d2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the sheet substrate 22 has a circular shape with a radius r, the inner region 22a is a portion of an inner circle with a radius r / 2, and the outer region 22b is a portion of an outer ring with a width r / 2. Since all the closure domains 32a, 32b, 32c are positioned in the outer region 22b, the closure area in the outer region 22b is larger than the closure area in the inner region 22a, in which no closure domain is formed.

[0048] A "closure density," which is a ratio between a closure area in a certain region and an overall area of ​​that region, can also be calculated. In this embodiment, the closure density in the outer region 22b is greater than the closure density in the inner region 22a.

[0049] Alternatively, the sheet substrate 22 can be divided into three or more portions, for example, according to the distance from the center 26. For example, the sheet substrate 22 can be divided into four portions by dividing the lines from the center 26 to the peripheral end 28 equally into four sections. In this case, the sheet substrate 22 can be divided into an innermost circular portion with a radius r / 4, a first ring portion with a width r / 4 around the innermost circular portion, a second ring portion with a width r / 4 around the first ring portion, and a third ring portion (outermost portion) with a width r / 4 around the second ring portion. More generally, Gradually, the sheet substrate 22 can be divided into n pieces (n is an integer greater than 1). The closure pattern 30 can exhibit a gradation from an inner portion to an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22. For example, if the sheet substrate 22 is divided into n regions (n ​​is an integer greater than 1; for example, n is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8) from the first innermost region to the nth outermost region so as to divide the distance between the center 26 and the peripheral end 28 equally into n sections, the closure area and / or closure density in the kth region (k is an integer between 2 and n) are greater than the closure area and / or closure density in the (kl)th region. In other words, the further the divided region is from the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22, the larger the closure area and / or closure density of the divided region.

[0050] The openings 24 are closed by any process that forms the closure pattern 30, for example, by heat treatment of predetermined portions of the sheet substrate 22. For example, the openings 24 may be partially closed by welding, such as ultrasonic welding or hot stamping of a mesh-shaped fabric sheet substrate. In this case, the closure portions 34 may be welded portions in which the openings 24 are closed by welding to the sheet substrate 22. Alternatively, the openings 24 may be closed by applying ink or an adhesive such as glue, for example, by screen printing ink, to predetermined portions of the sheet substrate 22.The closure pattern 30 can be formed by adding something that blocks the opening 24, for example by embroidery, sealing or printing of aluminum foil, or by blocking the opening 24 with double layers of laminated foil. Variations of the sieve

[0051] Figures 3 to 19 show variations of the sieve 20 with different closure patterns 20.

[0052] The variation shown in [Fig. 3] features a closure pattern 30 composed of a plurality of triangular closure portions 34, which are arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. The outer triangular closure portion 34 is larger than the inner triangular closure portion 34. The first closure domain 32a (inner) is composed of an annular set of inner closure portions 34, and the second closure domain 32b (outer) is composed of an annular set of outer closure portions 34. As in the variation of [Fig. 2], the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is larger in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.

[0053] Alternatively, the first closure domain 32a' can be a portion of closure The inner closure domain 34 is smaller and triangular in shape, while the second closure domain 32b' can be a larger, outer, triangular portion of closure domain 34. The closure pattern 30 consists of 16 inner closure domains 32a' and 16 outer closure domains 32b'. Even in this configuration, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32' is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.

[0054] Moreover, as in the variation of [Fig. 2], the closure area in the outer region 22b is larger than that in the inner region 22a. The closure density in the outer region 22b is also greater than that in the inner region 22a.

[0055] The variation of [Fig. 4] has a closure pattern 30 composed of more triangular closure portions 34 than that of [Fig. 3]. The triangular closure portions 34 are arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. Four triangular closure portions 34 are arranged in series along the radial direction with sizes increasing from the innermost closure portion to the outermost closure portion.

[0056] As in the variation of [Fig. 3], a closure domain 32 can be an annular set of closure portions 34 or a single closure portion 34. In the first case, four concentric annular closure domains 32 are defined. In the second, the number of closure domains 32 is 16 x 4 = 64. In both cases, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0057] The variation in [Fig. 5] is similar to that in [Fig. 4], but there are two types of columns of triangular closure portions 34. The first is an inner column of four smaller triangles, forming the first closure domain 32a, and the second is an outer column of four larger triangles, forming the second closure domain 32b. The closure area of ​​the second closure domain 32b is larger than that of the first closure domain 32a. Consequently, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0058] In this case, the closure domain 32 is composed of closure portions 34 which are arranged in series from a center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 to a peripheral end 28 of the sheet substrate 22. The areas of the plurality of closure portions 34 which are arranged in series increase from the center 26 to peripheral end 28.

[0059] The variation of [Fig.6] has a closure pattern 30 composed of heart-shaped closure portions 34 arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. Three heart-shaped closure portions 34 are arranged in series along the radial direction with sizes increasing from the inner closure portion to the outer closure portion.

[0060] As in the variation of Figures 3 and 4, a closure domain 32 can be an annular set of closure portions 34 or a single closure portion 34. In the first case, three concentric annular closure domains 32 are defined. In the second, the number of closure domains 32 is 16 x 3 = 48. In both cases, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0061] The variation of [Fig.7] has a closure pattern 30 composed of circular closure portions 34 arranged radially in a twisted manner on the sheet substrate 22. Six circular closure portions 34 are arranged in series in a twisted manner from the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 to the peripheral end 28, the sizes increasing from the inner closure portion to the outer closure portion.

[0062] As in the variation of Figures 3, 4, and 6, a closure domain 32 can be an annular set of closure portions 34 or a single closure portion 34. In the first case, six concentric annular closure domains 32 are defined. In the second, the number of closure domains 32 is 16 x 6 = 96. In both cases, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0063] The variation of [Fig.8] has a closure pattern 30 consisting of teardrop-shaped closure portions 34a arranged radially in the inner portion of the sheet substrate 22 and a ring-shaped closure portion 34b covering the outer portion of the sheet substrate 22. Since the ring-shaped closure portion 34b covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, the closure pattern 30 can remarkably reduce the overflow of the cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the sieve 20.

[0064] A first closure domain 32a may be an annular set of teardrop-shaped closure portions 34a or a single closure portion 34a. A second closure domain 32b is composed of the closure portion 34b. The area of The closure of the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0065] The variation of [Fig.9] has a closure pattern 30 composed of teardrop-shaped closure portions 34a arranged radially in the inner portion of the sheet substrate 22, wide arc-shaped closure portions 34b and a thin arc-shaped closure portion 34c.

[0066] A first closure domain 32a is a teardrop-shaped closure portion 34a. A second closure domain 32b is a set of adjacent arc-shaped closure portions 34b, 34c. Since the closure area of ​​the second closure domain 32b is larger than that of the first closure domain 32a, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0067] The variation in [Fig. 10] is similar to that in [Fig. 9], but three small teardrop-shaped closure portions 34a, 34b are formed instead of the teardrop-shaped closure portions 34a of [Fig. 9]. A first closure domain 32a is a teardrop-shaped closure portion 34a. A second closure domain 32b is a set of two adjacent closure portions 34b, 34b. A third closure domain 32c is a set of adjacent arc-shaped closure portions 34c, 34d. Since the closure area of ​​the third closure domain 32c is larger than that of the second closure domain 32b and the closure area of ​​the second closure domain 32b is larger than that of the first closure domain 32a, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is larger in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are larger than those in the inner region 22a.

[0068] The variation of [Fig. 11] has a closure motif 30 composed of circular closure portions 34a and 34b. The closure portions 34a form Y-shaped patterns that are arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. The closure portions 34a have sizes increasing from the inner to the outer portion of the sheet substrate 22. The closure portions 34b are arranged between two Y-shaped patterns.

[0069] A first closure domain 32a is a set of 10 closure portions 34a, which form the Y-shaped motif. A second closure domain 32b is a closure portion 34b. The closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a. Consequently, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the leaf substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the leaf substrate 22.

[0070] The variation in [Fig. 12] is similar to that in [Fig. 11], but crescent-shaped closure portions 34b are formed inwardly instead of the circular closure portions 34b of [Fig. 11]. A first closure domain 32a is a set of 10 closure portions 34a, which form the Y-shaped pattern. A second closure domain 32b is a crescent-shaped closure portion 34b. The closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a. Consequently, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.

[0071] The variation in [Fig. 13] is similar to that in [Fig. 12], but outwardly crescent-shaped closure portions 34b are formed instead of inwardly crescent-shaped closure portions 34b in [Fig. 12]. A first closure domain 32a is a set of 10 closure portions 34a, which form the Y-shaped pattern. A second closure domain 32b is a crescent-shaped closure portion 34b. The closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a. Consequently, the closure area of ​​the closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22.

[0072] The variation of [Fig. 14] has a closure pattern 30 composed of teardrop-shaped closure portions 34. The closure portions 34 are all the same size and are arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. The closure portion 34 has an inner end (an upper point of the teardrop) directed or oriented towards the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and an outer end (a lower point of the teardrop) directed or oriented towards the peripheral end 28 of the sheet substrate 22. If the teardrop-shaped closure portion 34 is divided into an inner portion 34a that is closer to the inner end than to the outer end and an outer portion 34b that is closer to the outer end than to the inner end, then the outer portion 34b of the closure portion 34 is larger than the inner portion 34a of the closure portion 34.

[0073] A closure domain 32 is a portion of closure 34. As indicated above, closing the outer portion of the closure domain 32 (the The outer portion (34b) is larger than that of the inner portion of the closure domain (34a). Consequently, the closure area of ​​the closure domains (32) is larger in an outer portion of the substrate in sheet 22 than in an inner portion of the substrate in sheet 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region (22b) are greater than those in the inner region (22a).

[0074] The variation of [Fig. 15] has a closure motif 30 composed of teardrop-shaped closure portions 34a, 34b. The closure portions 34b are teardrop-shaped like the closure portions 34 of [Fig. 14], while the closure portions 34a also have a teardrop shape, but only as a teardrop outline. In other words, the closure portions 34b close all the openings 24 surrounded by the teardrop outline, whereas the closure portions 34a only close the openings 24 on the teardrop outline, but do not close the openings 24 surrounded by the teardrop outline. The closure portions 34a are closer to the center 26 of the leaf substrate 22 than the closure portions 34b.

[0075] The closure portions 34a are all the same size and are arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. The closure portions 34b are also all the same size and are arranged radially on the sheet substrate 22. As with the closure portions 34 of [Fig. 14], each of the closure portions 34a, 34b has an inner end and an outer end. If the closure portions 34a, 34b are divided into an inner portion that is closer to the inner end than to the outer end and an outer portion that is closer to the outer end than to the inner end, the area of ​​the outer portion of the closure portions 34a, 34b is greater than the area of ​​the inner portion of the closure portions 34a, 34b.

[0076] A first closure domain 32a is a portion of closure 34a. A second closure domain 32b is a portion of closure 34b. As stated above, the closure area of ​​the outer portion of closure domains 32a, 32b (the outer portion of closure portions 34a, 34b) is larger than that of the inner portion of closure domains 32a, 32b (the inner portion of closure portions 34a, 34b). Consequently, the closure area of ​​closure domains 32 is greater in an outer portion of the sheet substrate 22 than in an inner portion of the sheet substrate 22. Furthermore, the closure area and closure density in the outer region 22b are greater than those in the inner region 22a.

[0077] The variation of [Fig. 16] has a closure motif 30 consisting of a ring-shaped closure portion 32 covering the outer portion of the leaf substrate 22. Since the ring-shaped closing portion 32 covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, the closing pattern 30 can remarkably reduce the spillage of the cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the sieve 20. For example, the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the inner edge of the ring-shaped closing portion 32 can be 27.8 mm, and the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the outer edge of the ring-shaped closing portion 32 (i.e. the radius of the sheet substrate 22) can be 54.4 mm.

[0078] The variation of [Fig. 17] has a closure motif 30 consisting of a ring-shaped closure portion 32 covering the outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, as in the variation of [Fig. 16]. Since the ring-shaped closure portion 32 covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, the closure motif 30 can significantly reduce the overflow of the cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the sieve 20. For example, the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the inner edge of the ring-shaped closure portion 32 can be 29 mm, and the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the outer edge of the ring-shaped closure portion 32 (i.e., the radius of the sheet substrate 22) can be 49 mm.

[0079] The variation of the [Fig.

[18] features a closure pattern 30 consisting of a ring-shaped closure portion 32 partially covering the outer portion of the sheet substrate 22. The outermost ring-shaped portion of the sheet substrate 22 does not have the closure portion 32. Since the ring-shaped closure portion 32 covers most of the outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, the closure pattern 30 can significantly reduce the overflow of the cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the sieve 20. For example, the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the inner edge of the ring-shaped closure portion 32 can be 27.8 mm, the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the outer edge of the ring-shaped closure portion 32 can be 51.6 mm, and the radius of the sheet substrate 22 can be 56.2 mm.

[0080] The variation in [Fig. 19] has a closure motif 30 consisting of a ring-shaped closure portion 32 covering the outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, as in the variation in Figures 16 and 17. Since the ring-shaped closure portion 32 covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate 22, the closure motif 30 can significantly reduce the overflow of the cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the sieve 20. For example, the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the inner edge of the ring-shaped closure portion 32 can be 31.6 mm, and the distance between the center 26 of the sheet substrate 22 and the outer edge of the ring-shaped closure portion 32 (i.e. the radius of the sheet substrate 22) can be 51.6 mm. Effects

[0081] According to at least one of the embodiments described above, the outer portion of the sieve is more fully covered by the closure area than the inner portion of the sieve. Consequently, it is possible to reduce overflow at the outer portion of the sieve of the cosmetic container.

[0082] A test was carried out using a cosmetic container comprising a sieve with the closure pattern as shown in [Fig. 8] and a comparative cosmetic container comprising a sieve without a closure pattern. By pushing on the center of the sieve without a closure pattern, the cosmetic composition overflowed from the periphery of the sieve. In contrast, no overflow (or very limited overflow) was observed at the periphery of the sieve with the closure pattern, with no impact on the makeup result.
