Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Packaging container technical field
[0001] This application relates to cosmetic product packaging technology, and more particularly to a packaging container. Previous art
[0002] Currently, many cosmetic product packaging containers are equipped with an applicator. During use, the user applies the cosmetic product directly to the skin's surface using the applicator, thus avoiding soiling their fingers and allowing for a more even application of the product. However, since the applicator is in the form of a thin strip, it must be inserted into the inner cap in a specific orientation, which makes the operation very inconvenient. Description of the invention
[0003] To overcome these drawbacks, this application proposes a packaging container in which the application part of the applicator can rotate the inner cap, thus allowing the application part to automatically slide into the second scraping hole of the inner cap and into the body of the bottle, making it very convenient to use.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to resolve its technical problem is as follows:
[0005] A packaging container comprising a lid assembly, an applicator, an outer cap, an inner cap, and a bottle body. The applicator comprises a mounting portion, a connecting portion, and an application portion. The two ends of the connecting portion are attached respectively to the mounting portion and the application portion. The mounting portion is attached to the lid assembly, the lid assembly is closed onto the bottle body, the outer cap is attached to the bottle opening, and the inner cap is rotatably mounted within the outer cap. The inner cap is provided with a first and a second interconnected scraping hole, the first scraping hole serving to scrape the connecting portion, and the second scraping hole serving to scrape the application portion.The application part can cause the inner plug to rotate to facilitate insertion of the application part into the second scraper hole.
[0006] Optionally, by defining the length of the connecting part protruding from the cover assembly as L1, and the dimension of the radial section of the cover assembly as L2, we have L1>0.5*L2.
[0007] Optionally, the structure of the cover assembly includes a cylindrical structure, the radial section of the cover assembly is circular, by defining the radius of the cover assembly as R, we have L1>R.
[0008] Optionally, the structure of the connecting part includes a cylindrical structure, the structure of the application part includes a thin strip-shaped structure, the width H of the application part is greater than the diameter D of the connecting part.
[0009] Optionally, the inner wall of the inner cap is provided with an insertion slot and an inclined surface, the insertion slot and the inclined surface are arranged in a spaced manner, an elastic tab is fixed in the insertion slot, a space between the two elastic tabs forms the second scraping hole.
[0010] Optionally, the shape of the radial section of the first scraper hole is circular, the shape of the radial section of the second scraper hole is square, the width W of the second scraper hole is less than the thickness T of the application part.
[0011] Optionally, 2 to 4 pairs of second scraper holes are arranged around the first scraper hole, each pair of second scraper holes being arranged symmetrically along the central axis of the inner plug.
[0012] Optionally, the inner wall of the outer cap extends radially inwards to form a circular protrusion, the outer wall of the inner cap is provided with a circular locking groove, the protrusion is placed in the locking groove to mount the inner cap in a rotational manner in the outer cap, and the inner cap is axially locked relative to the outer cap; or, the inner wall of the outer cap is provided with a circular groove, the outer wall of the inner cap extends radially outwards to form a circular protrusion, the protrusion is placed in the groove to mount the inner cap in a rotational manner in the outer cap, and the inner cap is axially locked relative to the outer cap.
[0013] Optionally, the applicator material includes a heat-sensitive material, the heat-sensitive material includes metal, an alloy, ceramic, glass or stone.
[0014] Optionally, the lid assembly includes an outer lid and an inner lid fixed inside the outer lid, the mounting part is fixed inside the inner lid, the inner lid is screwed and fixed to the bottle body.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: in this packaging container, the user uses the applicator part to evenly apply the cosmetic product to the skin surface, thus avoiding soiling their fingers during application. This makes use more convenient and allows for a more even application of the cosmetic product, thereby improving the application effect. Since the inner cap can rotate relative to the outer cap, when the applicator part comes into contact with the inner cap, if the application part is not aligned with the second scraping hole in the inner cap, the application part can rotate the inner cap relative to the outer cap, thus allowing the application part to automatically slide into the second scraping hole.Therefore, it is not necessary to deliberately align the application part with the second scraping hole when inserting the applicator into the inner cap, making it more convenient to use and saving time when applying makeup.

Detailed description of the implementation methods
[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and fully described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this application. It is understood that the described embodiments represent only a portion, and not the entirety, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary persons in the field without inventive effort fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the description, claims, and figures below of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that these objects may be interchanged under appropriate circumstances to permit the implementation of embodiments of this application in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," and all their variations, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to the clearly listed steps or units, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or that are inherent in such processes, methods, products or devices.
[0032] To facilitate description, terms of relative position in space such as "on," "above," "on the surface of," "above," etc., may be used here to describe the spatial relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features, as illustrated in the figures. It should be understood that these terms of relative position in space are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation, in addition to the orientation described in the figures.

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the "above" and "below" orientations.The device can also be oriented differently (rotated 90 degrees or placed in other orientations), and the spatial descriptions used here should be interpreted accordingly.
[0033] Embodiment: As illustrated in Figures 1 to 13, a packaging container comprises a lid assembly, an applicator 30, and a cap The applicator 30 comprises an outer part 40, an inner stopper 50, and a bottle body 60. It includes a mounting part 31, a connecting part 32, and an application part 33. The two ends of the connecting part 32 are attached to the mounting part 31 and the application part 33, respectively. The mounting part 31 is attached to the lid assembly, the lid assembly is closed onto the bottle body 60, the outer stopper 40 is attached to the opening of the bottle 60, and the inner stopper 50 is rotatably mounted within the outer stopper 40. The inner stopper 50 has a first scraping hole 52 and a second scraping hole 53 that are interconnected; the first scraping hole 52 is used to scrape the connecting part 32, and the second scraping hole 53 is used to scrape the application part 33.The application part 33 can cause the inner plug 50 to rotate to facilitate the insertion of the application part 33 into the second scraping hole 53.
[0034] In this application, the body of the bottle 60 is used to contain skincare cosmetic products such as face creams, hand creams, moisturizing lotions, etc. When the lid assembly is closed over the opening of the bottle 60, the lid assembly and the opening of the bottle 60 are sealed using the outer cap 40 and the inner cap 50. When the lid assembly is removed from the bottle 60, the application part 33 holds a certain amount of cosmetic product. The user uses the application part 33 to apply the cosmetic product evenly to the skin surface, thus avoiding getting their fingers dirty during application. This makes use more convenient and allows for a more even application of the cosmetic product, thereby improving the application effect.When inserting the applicator 30 into the inner plug 50, the application portion 33 must be inserted into the second scraper hole 53 to pass through the inner plug 50. In this application, since the inner plug 50 can rotate relative to the outer plug 40, when the application portion 33 comes into contact with the inner plug 50, if the application portion 33 is not aligned with the second scraper hole 53, it can rotate the inner plug 50 relative to the outer plug 40, thus allowing the application portion 33 to automatically slide into the second scraper hole 53. Therefore, it is not necessary to deliberately align the application portion 33 with the second scraper hole 53 when inserting the applicator 30 into the inner plug 50, making operation more convenient and saving time. during makeup application.
[0035] Optionally, the applicator 30 is arranged coaxially with the cover assembly, as illustrated in [Fig. 3], defining the length of the connecting portion 32 protruding from the cover assembly as L1, and the dimension of the Given a radial cross-section of the lid assembly as L2, we have L1 > 0.5 * L2. The dimension of the radial cross-section of the lid assembly refers to the maximum dimension of the radial cross-section of the lid assembly. For example, when the radial cross-section of the lid assembly is rectangular, the dimension of the radial cross-section is the length of the radial cross-section; when the radial cross-section of the lid assembly is elliptical, the dimension of the radial cross-section is the length of the major axis of the radial cross-section; when the radial cross-section of the lid assembly is circular, the dimension of the radial cross-section is the diameter of the radial cross-section. Because the length of the connection part of traditional applicators is very short, when the user holds the cover assembly and uses the applicator 30 to apply the cosmetic product, due to the obstruction of the cover assembly, the part of the application part 33 near the cover assembly cannot come into direct contact with the skin, resulting in long-term retention of the cosmetic product in this unusable area, not only wasting the cosmetic product, but also facilitating cross-contamination of the cosmetic product, leading to waste of the cosmetic product.
[0036] In this application, the length of the connecting portion 32 extending from the cover assembly has been increased; that is, the connecting portion 32 replaces part of the area of the application portion 33. During application, the entire application portion 33 can come into contact with the skin, thus preventing the retention of cosmetic product on the application portion 33. Since the cosmetic product on the connecting portion 32 is scraped off by the first scraping hole 52, there is no retention of cosmetic product on the entire applicator 30. This application solves the problems of cosmetic product waste and cross-contamination by lengthening the connecting portion 32.
[0037] Optionally, as illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the lid assembly structure comprises a cylindrical structure. The radial section of the lid assembly is circular, and by defining the radius of the lid assembly as R, we have L1 > R. The cylindrical design of the lid assembly corresponds to common usage habits. When the length L1 of the connecting portion 32 extending from the lid assembly is greater than or equal to the radius R of the lid assembly, the entire area of the application portion 33 can come into direct contact with the skin, thus preventing the retention of cosmetic product.
[0038] As illustrated in Figures 1, 3, and 5, the connecting portion 32 has a cylindrical structure, the application portion 33 has a thin-strip-shaped structure, and the width H of the application portion 33 is greater than the diameter D of the connecting portion 32. The thin-strip-shaped structure The slit in the application portion 33 means that the width H of the application portion 33 is much greater than its thickness T, which facilitates the dispersion of the cosmetic product. The design of the diameter D of the connecting portion 32, which is smaller than the width of the application portion 33, allows, on the one hand, for a reduction in material usage and a lighter weight of the applicator 30, and on the other hand, facilitates the scraping of the application portion 33 by the second scraping hole 53, thus preventing the application portion 33 from carrying an excessive amount of product, which would lead to waste and contamination of the product.
[0039] As illustrated in Figures 6 to 9, the inner wall of the inner plug 50 is provided with an insertion slot 54 and an inclined surface 55. The insertion slot 54 and the inclined surface 55 are spaced apart. An elastic tab 56 is fixed in the insertion slot 54. A space between the two elastic tabs 56 forms the second scraping hole 53. The insertion slot 54 and the inclined surface 55 are arranged along the circumference of the inner wall of the inner plug 50, with two adjacent insertion slots 54 separated by an inclined surface 55, and similarly, two adjacent inclined surfaces 55 separated by an insertion slot 54.When inserting the applicator 30 into the bottle body 60, if the application portion 33 is aligned with the insertion slot 54, it can pass directly through the second scraper hole 53 in the insertion slot 54 to enter the bottle body 60, and then the cap assembly can be closed onto the bottle body 60. If the application portion 33 initially comes into contact with the inclined surface 55, the inner cap 50 will rotate at a certain angle under the action of the application portion 33, allowing the application portion 33 to slide into the insertion slot 54, and also allowing the application portion 33 to pass through the second scraper hole 53. Therefore, when using this application, it is not necessary to deliberately align the application portion 33 with the second scraper hole 53, which makes the application very convenient. practical. .
[0040] As illustrated in [Fig. 1 1], the shape of the radial section of the first scraping hole 52 is circular, the shape of the radial section of the first scraping hole 52 is identical to that of the radial section of the connecting part 32, and the diameter of the radial section of the first scraping hole 52 is less than the diameter of the radial section of the connecting part 32, which ensures that the edge of the first scraping hole 52 can cleanly scrape the cosmetic product onto the connecting part 32; the shape of the radial section of the second scraping hole 53 is square, the shape of the radial section of the second scraping hole 53 is identical to that of the radial section of the application part 33, in this embodiment, both are square; The width W of the second scraping hole 53 is less than the thickness T of the application part 33, in order to ensure that the edge of the second hole The scraping hole 53 scrapes the product in contact with the application part 33, while the product on the application part 33 that is not in contact with the edge of the second scraping hole 53 is retained, effectively preventing the application part 33 from carrying an excessive amount of cosmetic product.
[0041] Optionally, 2 to 4 pairs of second scraping holes 53 are arranged around the first scraping hole 52, each pair of second scraping holes 53 being arranged symmetrically along the central axis of the inner plug 50. Figure 11 shows 2 pairs of second scraping holes 53, forming a cross. Of course, it is also possible to design 3 or 4 pairs of second scraping holes 53. This ensures both that the inner plug 50 has a certain resistance to ensure the scraping effect, while also facilitating the insertion of the applicator 30.
[0042] As illustrated in [Fig.2], in one embodiment, the inner wall of the outer plug 40 extends radially inwards to form a circular protrusion 41, the outer wall of the inner plug 50 is provided with a circular locking groove 51, the protrusion 41 is placed in the locking groove 51 to mount the inner plug 50 in a rotational manner in the outer plug 40, and the inner plug 50 is axially locked relative to the outer plug 40.
[0043] In another embodiment, the inner wall of the outer plug 40 is provided with a circular groove, the outer wall of the inner plug 50 extends radially outwards to form a circular protrusion, the protrusion is placed in the groove to mount the inner plug 50 in a rotational manner within the outer plug 40, and the inner plug 50 is axially locked relative to the outer plug 40. Of course, it is also possible to provide a circular rib on each of the outer plug 40 and the inner plug 50, using the mutual interlocking of the two ribs to axially lock the inner plug 50 relative to the outer plug 40 while allowing circular movement.
[0044] Optionally, the material of the applicator 30 includes a heat-sensitive material, such as metal, an alloy, ceramic, glass, or stone. The applicator 30 made with the aforementioned heat-sensitive materials can provide a cooling sensation to the user upon contact with the skin, dilating the pores, facilitating the penetration of the skincare product into the pores and then their contraction, thus improving the absorption of the skincare product by the skin.
[0045] As illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the cover assembly comprises an outer cover 10 and an inner cover 20 fixed inside the outer cover 10. The outer cover 10 and the inner cover 20 can be fixed together by snap-fitting, gluing, ultrasonic welding, etc. The part of The mounting part 31 is fixed inside the inner cover 20. The inner cover 20 has a mounting groove. The mounting part 31 is secured in the mounting groove by snap-fitting, bonding, etc. The inner cover 20 is screwed and fixed to the bottle body 60. The inner wall of the inner cover 20 has an internal thread, and the outer wall of the bottle body 60 has an external thread. The inner cover 20 and the bottle body 60 are removably fixed by screwing the internal and external threads together. In this embodiment, the radius of the radial cross-section of the cover assembly is the radius of the outer cover 10, and the length of the connecting part 32 extending from the cover assembly is greater than or equal to the radius of the outer cover 10.
[0046] The process of using this application includes the following steps: First, the user turns the outer cover 10 to separate the cover assembly from the bottle body 60, and removes the cover assembly, also taking the applicator 30 with it. The inner cap 50 scrapes the product onto a part of the connecting part 32 and the application part 33. Next, the user applies the cosmetic product evenly via the application part 33 to the skin surface. Once the application is complete, the applicator 30 is inserted into the inner cap 50. As the inner cap 50 can rotate relative to the outer cap 40, the application part 30 passes easily through the second scraping hole 53 to enter the bottle body 60. Finally, the cover assembly is screwed onto the bottle body 60.
[0047] It should be noted that, for ordinary people in the technical field, without departing from the idea of this application, it is still possible to make several modifications and improvements, all of which fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of this application must be determined by the attached claims.
