Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic container. [Background technology]

[0002] A cosmetic container (compact container) is known that includes a bottomed cylindrical container body in which contents are stored and a stretchable mesh body that covers the upper opening of the storage space for the contents inside the container body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Publication No. 8-11 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] A problem with this type of cosmetic container is that it is difficult to provide a mesh body without causing wrinkles (waviness). If wrinkles occur in the mesh body, not only will the appearance be deteriorated, but when the applicator is pressed against the upper surface of the mesh body and slid to deposit the contents onto the applicator through the mesh of the mesh body, the wrinkles may fold, making it difficult to deposit the contents within the storage space evenly across the entire area of ​​the applicator.

[0005] The present invention provides a cosmetic container that can be provided with a mesh body without causing wrinkles. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A cosmetic container according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottomed cylindrical container body in which contents are stored, a frame body inserted and fixed into the container body, and a stretchable mesh body provided between the lower end of the frame body and the bottom of the container body and covering the lower end opening of the frame body, wherein the space surrounded by the mesh body and the bottom of the container body is used as a storage space for the contents, and the mesh body is fixed to the lower end of the frame body and comprises a cylindrical body inserted inside the frame body with the mesh body pushed in.

[0007] Since the frame is provided with a cylindrical body inserted into the inside of the frame with the mesh body fixed to the lower end of the frame pressed in, even if the mesh body has wrinkles, when the cylindrical body is inserted into the inside of the frame with the mesh body pressed in, a tensile force is applied to the mesh body along the front and back surfaces, and the wrinkles in the mesh body can be stretched out and eliminated. The cylinder is inserted inside the frame with the mesh body pressed in, and the mesh body and the open end edge of the cylinder are in an unfixed state, so that the stretchability of the mesh body can be ensured.

[0008] A cosmetic container according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a bottomed cylindrical container body in which contents are stored, a frame body inserted and fixed into the container body, a tubular storage section extending upward from the bottom of the container body and storing the contents inside, and a mesh body having elasticity provided between the lower end of the frame body and the upper end of the tubular storage section and covering the lower opening of the frame body and the upper opening of the tubular storage section, wherein the space surrounded by the mesh body, the inside of the tubular storage section, and the bottom of the container body is the storage space for the contents, and the mesh body is fixed to either the lower end of the frame body or the upper end of the tubular storage section, and the other of the frame body and the tubular storage section is inserted into the inside of the other while pushing the mesh body.

[0009] Since either the frame body or the containing tube portion is inserted into the inside of either of the members while pushing the mesh body into the inside of the other of the members, even if wrinkles occur in the mesh body fixed to one of the members, when the other member is inserted into the inside of either of the members while pushing the mesh body into the inside of the other of the members, a tensile force is applied to the mesh body along its front and back surfaces, and the wrinkles in the mesh body can be stretched out and eliminated. The other member is inserted into the inside of the one member while pushing the mesh body, and the mesh body and the open edge of the other member are in an unfixed state, thereby ensuring the elasticity of the mesh body.

[0010] A connection portion between an outer peripheral surface of the other of the frame body and the tubular housing portion and the open end edge may present a curved shape that protrudes radially outward when viewed in vertical cross section.

[0011] The connection portion between the outer peripheral surface and the open edge of the other member presents a curved shape that protrudes radially outward when viewed in vertical cross section, so that it is possible to suppress the load generated on the portion of the mesh body that is pressed in by the connection portion of the other member, thereby preventing the mesh body from becoming more prone to tearing.

[0012] The mesh body may be fixed to the lower end of the frame body, and the accommodating tube portion may be inserted into the inside of the frame body while pushing the mesh body upward, and the connection portion between the inner surface of the accommodating tube portion and the upper end opening edge may present a curved shape protruding radially inward when viewed in a vertical cross section along the up-down direction.

[0013] The accommodating tube portion is inserted into the inside of the frame body while pushing the mesh body upward, so that when the mesh body is pressed down, the mesh body elastically deforms as it slides over the upper opening edge of the accommodating tube portion, thereby ensuring the elasticity of the mesh body. The connection portion between the inner surface of the accommodating tube and the upper opening edge presents a curved shape that protrudes radially inward when viewed in vertical cross section. Therefore, when the mesh body is pressed down, it is possible to reduce the load applied to the mesh body from the connection portion between the inner surface of the accommodating tube and the upper opening edge, thereby preventing the mesh body from becoming easily torn. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to one aspect of the present invention, a mesh body can be provided without causing wrinkles. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] Hereinafter, a cosmetic container according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the cosmetic container 1 according to this embodiment includes a bottomed cylindrical container body 11, a frame body 12, a cylindrical storage portion 13, and a mesh body . The container body 11, the frame body 12, and the housing cylinder portion 13 (cylinder body) are arranged coaxially with a common axis.

[0017] Hereinafter, the common axis will be referred to as the container axis O, the open end side of the container body 11 along the container axis O will be referred to as the upper side, the bottom 11a side of the container body 11 along the container axis O will be referred to as the lower side, the direction along the container axis O will be referred to as the vertical direction, the direction that intersects the container axis O when viewed from the vertical direction will be referred to as the radial direction, and the direction that rotates around the container axis O when viewed from the vertical direction will be referred to as the circumferential direction.

[0018] The contents are contained in the container body 11. A lid body 15 is removably attached to the top of the container body 11. The top opening of the container body 11 is releasably closed by the lid body 15. A male thread portion to which the lid body 15 is removably screwed is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the top of the container body 11.

[0019] The frame 12 is inserted into and fixed in the container 11. The frame 12 may be connected to the upper end of the container 11 via a hinge and formed integrally with the container 11. A flange portion 12a is formed at the upper end of the frame 12, protruding radially outward and positioned around the upper opening edge of the container body 11. The flange portion 12a extends continuously over the entire length in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the upper portion of the frame 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the lower portion of the frame 12. The outer peripheral surface of the upper portion of the frame 12 abuts against the inner peripheral surface of the container body 11, and the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion of the frame 12 is spaced radially inward.

[0020] The storage cylinder portion 13 extends upward from the bottom portion 11a of the container body 11, and stores the contents therein. In the illustrated example, the accommodating tube portion 13 is formed integrally with the container body 11. The accommodating tube portion 13 is located radially inwardly away from the inner circumferential surface of the container body 11 and radially inwardly of the frame body 12. The upper end portion of the accommodating tube portion 13 is inserted into the lower end portion of the frame body 12.

[0021] In addition, as the housing cylinder portion 13, an inner plate formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom and separated from the container body 11 may be used. Alternatively, the container body 11 may have a configuration including a cylindrical container body with a bottom and an inner dish that is housed within the container body and contains the contents. In this configuration, the frame body 12 may be connected to the upper end of the inner plate via a hinge portion and formed integrally with the inner plate, or a configuration may be adopted in which the accommodating cylindrical portion 13 is formed integrally with the container body, the inner plate is stored within the accommodating cylindrical portion 13, and the upper end of the inner plate is located below the upper end of the accommodating cylindrical portion 13.

[0022] The mesh body 14 is elastic and formed to be elastically deformable. The mesh body 14 is formed in a sheet shape having a mesh formed by weaving elastic fibers. Examples of the fiber material include a mixture of polyethylene terephthalate and urethane resin.

[0023] The mesh body 14 is provided between the lower end of the frame body 12 and the bottom 11a of the container body 11, and covers the lower end opening of the frame body 12. In the illustrated example, mesh body 14 is provided between the lower end of frame body 12 and the upper end of tubular storage portion 13, and covers the lower end opening of frame body 12 and the upper end opening of tubular storage portion 13. The space surrounded by mesh body 14, the inside of tubular storage portion 13, and bottom portion 11a of container body 11 is used as storage space X for the contents. Applicator Y is stored in the space surrounded by mesh body 14, the inside of frame body 12, and lid body 15.

[0024] The mesh body 14 is fixed to the lower end of the frame body 12. The housing tube portion 13 (cylinder) is inserted into the inside of the frame body 12 with the mesh body 14 pressed in. In the illustrated example, the housing tube portion 13 is inserted into the inside of the frame body 12 while pressing the mesh body 14 upward. The mesh body 14 is not fixed to the housing tube portion 13, and when the mesh body 14 elastically deforms in response to pressing and releasing, it slides on the upper end opening edge of the housing tube portion 13. The mesh body 14 is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the housing tube portion 13 and the inner peripheral surface of the frame body 12 and is compressed and deformed in the radial direction. Note that the portion of the mesh body 14 located between the outer peripheral surface of the housing tube portion 13 and the inner peripheral surface of the frame body 12 does not need to be compressed and deformed in the radial direction.

[0025] 2, a connection portion 13a between the outer peripheral surface and the upper end opening edge (open end edge) of the tubular housing 13 is curved to protrude radially outward in a vertical cross section. A connection portion 13b between the inner peripheral surface and the upper end opening edge of the tubular housing 13 is curved to protrude radially inward in a vertical cross section. The mesh body 14 is bonded, welded, fused, or the like to the lower end opening edge of the frame 12. The mesh body 14 may be bonded integrally to the lower end opening edge and the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the frame 12.

[0026] As described above, according to the cosmetic container 1 of this embodiment, the holding tube portion 13 is inserted into the inside of the frame body 12 while pushing the mesh body 14 upward. Therefore, even if wrinkles are formed in the mesh body 14 fixed to the frame body 12, when the holding tube portion 13 is inserted into the inside of the frame body 12 while pushing the mesh body 14, a tensile force is applied to the mesh body 14 along the front and back surfaces, and the wrinkles in the mesh body 14 can be stretched out and eliminated. The housing tube part 13 is inserted into the frame body 12 while pushing the mesh body 14 inside, and the mesh body 14 and the upper end opening edge of the housing tube part 13 are in a non-fixed state, so that the elasticity of the mesh body 14 can be ensured.

[0027] Since the connection portion 13a between the outer peripheral surface and the upper opening edge of the accommodating tube portion 13 presents a curved shape that protrudes radially outward when viewed in a vertical cross section along the up-down direction, it is possible to suppress the load generated on the portion of the mesh body 14 that is pressed in by the connection portion 13a between the outer peripheral surface and the upper opening edge of the accommodating tube portion 13, thereby preventing the mesh body 14 from becoming easily torn.

[0028] The housing tube portion 13 is inserted into the inside of the frame body 12 while pushing the mesh body 14 upward. Therefore, when the mesh body 14 is pressed down with an applicator Y or the like, the mesh body 14 elastically deforms as it slides over the upper opening edge of the housing tube portion 13, thereby ensuring the elasticity of the mesh body 14. Since the connection portion 13b between the inner peripheral surface and the upper opening edge of the accommodating tube portion 13 presents a curved shape that protrudes radially inward when viewed in vertical cross section, when the mesh body 14 is pressed down with an applicator Y or the like, it is possible to reduce the load applied to the mesh body 14 from the connection portion 13b between the inner peripheral surface and the upper opening edge of the accommodating tube portion 13, thereby preventing the mesh body 14 from being easily torn.

[0029] Next, a cosmetic container 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted, with only the differences being described.

[0030] In the cosmetic container 2 of this embodiment, the tubular storage portion 13 is located radially outward from the frame body 12, the lower end of the frame body 12 is inserted into the upper end of the tubular storage portion 13, the mesh body 14 is fixed to the upper end of the tubular storage portion 13, and the frame body 12 is inserted into the inside of the tubular storage portion 13 while pushing the mesh body 14 downward. A connection portion 12b between the outer peripheral surface and the lower opening edge (open end edge) of the frame 12 presents a curved shape that protrudes radially outward in a vertical cross section. A connection portion 12c between the inner peripheral surface and the lower opening edge of the frame 12 presents a curved shape that protrudes radially inward in a vertical cross section. A connection portion 13b between the inner peripheral surface and the upper end opening edge of the accommodating tube portion 13 has a curved shape that protrudes radially inward in a vertical cross section along the up-down direction. The accommodating tube portion 13 protrudes radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the container body 11 and is formed integrally with the container body 11. Note that the accommodating tube portion 13 may be spaced radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the container body 11. The mesh body 14 is adhered, welded, fused, or the like to the edge of the upper opening of the tubular housing portion 13. The mesh body 14 is not fixed to the frame body 12. The mesh body 14 is sandwiched between the inner peripheral surface of the tubular housing portion 13 and the outer peripheral surface of the frame body 12 and is compressed and deformed in the radial direction.

[0031] As described above, in the cosmetic container 2 of this embodiment, the frame body 12 is inserted into the inside of the tubular storage portion 13 while pushing the mesh body 14 downward. Therefore, even if wrinkles are formed in the mesh body 14 fixed to the tubular storage portion 13, when the frame body 12 is inserted into the inside of the tubular storage portion 13 while pushing the mesh body 14, a tensile force is applied to the mesh body 14 along the front and back surfaces, and the wrinkles in the mesh body 14 can be stretched out and eliminated. The frame body 12 is inserted into the inside of the housing cylinder part 13 while pushing the mesh body 14, and the mesh body 14 and the lower end opening edge of the frame body 12 are in a non-fixed state, so that the elasticity of the mesh body 14 can be ensured.

[0032] Since the connection portion 12b between the outer peripheral surface and the lower opening edge of the frame body 12 presents a curved shape that protrudes radially outward when viewed in a vertical cross section along the up-down direction, it is possible to suppress the load generated on the portion of the mesh body 14 that is pressed in by the connection portion 12b between the outer peripheral surface and the lower opening edge of the frame body 12, thereby preventing the mesh body 14 from becoming easily torn.

[0033] Next, a cosmetic container 3 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the third embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted, with only the differences being described.

[0034] The cosmetic container 3 of this embodiment does not have a cylindrical storage portion 13, but has a cylindrical body 16 that is fitted and fixed inside the frame body 12. The cylindrical body 16 is inserted inside the frame body 12 with the mesh body 14 pressed in. The lower end of the cylindrical body 16 is located lower than the lower end of the frame body 12. The cylindrical body 16 presses the mesh body 14 downward. A connection portion 16a between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 16 and the edge of the lower end opening presents a curved shape that protrudes radially outward in a vertical cross section along the up-down direction. The cosmetic container 3 may have at least one of a container tube and an inner tray.

[0035] As described above, the cosmetic container 3 of this embodiment is provided with a cylindrical body 16 which is inserted inside the frame body 12 with the mesh body 14 fixed to the lower end of the frame body 12 pressed in. Therefore, even if wrinkles are formed in the mesh body 14, when the cylindrical body 16 is inserted inside the frame body 12 with the mesh body 14 pressed in, a tensile force is applied to the mesh body 14 along the front and back surfaces, and the wrinkles in the mesh body 14 can be stretched out and eliminated. The cylinder 16 is inserted into the frame 12 with the mesh body 14 pressed in, and the mesh body 14 and the lower end opening edge of the cylinder 16 are in a non-fixed state, so that the stretchability of the mesh body 14 can be ensured.

[0036] The connection portion 16a between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 16 and the lower end opening edge presents a curved shape that protrudes radially outward when viewed in vertical cross section. This makes it possible to suppress the load generated in the portion of the mesh body 14 that is pressed in by the connection portion 16a between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 16 and the lower end opening edge, thereby preventing the mesh body 14 from becoming easily torn.

[0037] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0038] For example, the connection portions 12b, 12c, 13a, and 13b of the frame 12 and the housing cylinder portion 13, respectively, may be formed into an angular shape or a chamfered shape. The cosmetic containers 1, 2, and 3 are not limited to jar containers, and other shapes such as compact containers may also be adopted.

[0039] In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described embodiments and the above-described variations may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
