Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member and a stick-shaped cosmetic material dispensing container. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a cosmetic container (container for feeding stick-shaped cosmetic material) equipped with a core chuck (stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member) that holds a stick-shaped cosmetic material (stick-shaped cosmetic material). In this container, the core chuck is formed by providing multiple slits in a cylindrical core chuck body and dividing the circumferential portion into multiple holding pieces (jaw pieces). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2005-329176 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the container described in Patent Document 1, the core chuck has four holding pieces, each of which is located in a groove in the front part (front tube) of the cartridge body. Therefore, when vibrations are applied due to dropping or the like, the vibrations are directly transmitted to the stick-shaped cosmetic material, which may cause the stick-shaped cosmetic material to come out of the core chuck (core dislodgment) or break (core breakage).

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of these technical problems, and has an object to prevent the core of a rod-shaped decorative material from coming out or breaking. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member that holds a stick-shaped cosmetic material within a stick-shaped cosmetic material dispensing container comprises a cosmetic material holding portion that holds the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material and a base portion from which the cosmetic material holding portion is erected, the cosmetic material holding portion having a plurality of claw pieces that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material, and at least one of the plurality of claw pieces has an elastic portion that is elastically deformable in the axial direction. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the above aspect, at least one of the multiple claw pieces that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material has an elastic portion that is elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the elastic portion. Therefore, the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material is suppressed, and the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material can be prevented from coming out or breaking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] First, with reference to Figs. 1 to 3, a stick-shaped cosmetic material dispensing container (hereinafter simply referred to as "dispensing container") 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0011] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a dispensing container 1, where (a) is a front cross-sectional view showing a state in which the core chuck member 10 is positioned at the forward limit, (b) is a side cross-sectional view showing a state in which the core chuck member 10 is positioned at the backward limit, and (c) is a cross-sectional view along the line IC-IC in Fig. 1(b). Fig. 2 is a diagram showing the core chuck member 10, where (a) is a front view and (b) is a side view. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the cosmetic material holding portion 11, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a side view, and (c) is a cross-sectional view along the line IIIC-IIIC in Fig. 3(b).

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1(a), the dispensing container 1 is a container capable of dispensing a stick-shaped cosmetic material A having a substantially circular cross-sectional shape. The stick-shaped cosmetic material A is a molded core formed into a stick shape and is used, for example, as an eyebrow, eyeliner, lip liner, etc. The outer diameter of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is formed to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of a cosmetic material holding portion 11 (see Fig. 3(c)) which will be described later.

[0013] The dispensing container 1 comprises a leading tube 20 having a through hole 20a through which the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can advance and retreat, a base tube 30 assembled to the leading tube 20 so as to be rotatable relative to the leading tube 20, a core chuck member 10 as a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member that holds the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and a female threaded tube 40 arranged within the base tube 30 so as not to be rotatable relative to the base tube 30.

[0014] In the following, the direction along the central axis of the through hole 20a in the leading tube 20 will be referred to as the "axial direction", the direction around the central axis of the through hole 20a will be referred to as the "circumferential direction", and the radial direction around the central axis of the through hole 20a will be referred to as the "radial direction". Additionally, the movement of the stick type cosmetic material A being dispensed from the dispensing container 1 will be referred to as the "forward movement", the direction in which the stick type cosmetic material A is dispensed will be referred to as the "forward movement", the movement of the stick type cosmetic material A being retracted into the dispensing container 1 will be referred to as the "retraction movement", and the direction in which the stick type cosmetic material A is retracted will be referred to as the "rearward movement".

[0015] The front tube 20 is a tubular member having a through hole 20a that penetrates in the axial direction. The front tube 20 is provided so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be advanced and retreated. The front tube 20 has a gripping portion 24 that is gripped by the user, and an insertion portion 27 that is formed continuous with the gripping portion 24 in the axial direction and is inserted into the base tube 30.

[0016] The through hole 20a guides the core chuck member 10 along the axial direction. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 20a is formed to be substantially circular, similar to the cross-sectional shape of the rod-shaped cosmetic material A. The pinched portion 24 is formed to be tapered in the axial direction so that the outer diameter gradually decreases from the fitting portion 27 side toward the tip.

[0017] On the outer circumferential surface of the fitting portion 27, there are formed an annular fitting protrusion 25 that fits into a fitting recess 32 (described later) formed in the base tube 30, and an O-ring groove 26 in which an O-ring 2 is attached. The O-ring 2 is provided in a compressed state between the front tube 20 and the base tube 30, thereby generating an appropriate resistance when the front tube 20 and the base tube 30 are rotated relative to each other. This improves the operability of the user.

[0018] The through hole 20a extends along the axial direction and has a guide groove 21 that protrudes radially outward to guide the core chuck member 10 along the axial direction, and a wall-shaped portion 22 along which the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped cosmetic material A slides along the axial direction.

[0019] 1(b) and 1(c), the guide groove 21 is composed of a plurality of grooves (two in this example). The two guide grooves 21 are provided on a straight line passing through the central axis, facing each other with the central axis in between. The two guide grooves 21 are disposed at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the plurality of claw pieces 12. As long as a plurality of guide grooves 21 are provided, three or more guide grooves may be provided.

[0020] The inner peripheral surface of the guide groove 21 is formed in a curved shape so as to form a part of an arc about the central axis. In the guide groove 21, the claw pieces 12 of the core chuck member 10, which will be described later, are positioned, and the engaging ridge portion 16, which will be described later, engages with the claw pieces 12.

[0021] 1(b), the guide groove 21 is formed up to the rear end surface 22a of the front tube 20. The guide groove 21 is formed up to just before the front end opening 20b of the through hole 20a without reaching the front end opening 20b.

[0022] The inner peripheral surface of the wall portion 22 is formed in a curved shape so as to form a part of an arc about the central axis. The wall portion 22 supports the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. The wall portion 22 is provided so as to support the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A between adjacent claw pieces 12.

[0023] The base tube 30 is a member formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape that houses the core chuck member 10 and has an accommodation hole 33 into which the fitting portion 27 of the front tube 20 is fitted and into which the female threaded tube 40 is inserted. The accommodation hole 33 is provided with an annular fitting recess 32 into which the fitting protrusion 25 of the front tube 20 is fitted.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1(a) and 1(b), the core chuck member 10 holds a stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the dispensing container 1. As shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), the core chuck member 10 has a cosmetic material holding part 11 that holds the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base part 15 on which the cosmetic material holding part 11 is erected.

[0025] A stick-shaped cosmetic material A that is soft, has a small diameter, and has a circular cross-sectional shape is loaded into the cosmetic material holding portion 11. Here, the outside diameter of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is about φ2.0 [mm].

[0026] The cosmetic material holding portion 11 comprises multiple (here, two) claw pieces 12 which extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion end surface 15a (see Figures 3(a) and 3(b)) which serves as a bottom portion which holds the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0027] As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), the claw piece 12 is erected in the axial direction from the base end face 15a. The outer peripheral surface of the claw piece 12 is formed with a smaller diameter than the outer peripheral surface of the engaging ridge portion 16 of the base portion 15. The inner peripheral surface of the claw piece 12 is formed in a curved shape so as to fit along the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. Multiple claw pieces 12 (two in this case) are provided so as to sandwich the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0028] The claw pieces 12 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Specifically, two claw pieces 12 are arranged at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the multiple guide grooves 21. The number of claw pieces 12 may be the same as the number of guide grooves 21, and therefore, when three or more guide grooves 21 are provided, three or more claw pieces 12 may be provided.

[0029] As shown in Figures 3(a) to 3(c), the two claw pieces 12 are provided so as to face each other across the central axis. The claw pieces 12 are formed to have a radial thickness of about 0.60 mm. Each of the claw pieces 12 has a spring portion 12a as an elastic portion, a tapered surface 12g, and a protrusion 12h.

[0030] The spring portion 12a is provided on each of the plurality of claw pieces 12 so as to be elastically deformable in the axial direction.

[0031] In this way, the multiple claws 12 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A have spring portions 12a that are elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portions 12a. This suppresses the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from coming out or breaking.

[0032] Next, a detailed configuration of the spring portion 12a will be described. The spring portion 12a has a plurality of elastic pieces 12b, a retaining portion 12c as an engagement portion, and a rotation preventing portion 12d.

[0033] The elastic piece 12b deforms when a force is applied in the axial direction of the claw piece 12. The elastic piece 12b is provided by forming a circumferential width of a portion of the axial direction of the claw piece 12 smaller than that of the other portion. Specifically, the elastic piece 12b is formed by providing spaces 12e in which the claw piece 12 is cut out in a U-shape so that both ends in the circumferential direction are alternately cut out. A plurality of elastic pieces 12b are provided in the axial direction.

[0034] The elastic piece 12b has a first engagement piece 12b1 extending in the circumferential direction and a second engagement piece 12b2 axially connected to the first engagement piece 12b1. A plurality of first engagement pieces 12b1 and second engagement pieces 12b2 are provided and are alternately connected in the axial direction.

[0035] The elastic piece 12b can be deformed to expand and contract in the axial direction by the deformation of the first engagement piece 12b1 and the second engagement piece 12b2 while the axial size of the space portion 12e changes. When a force is applied to shrink the claw piece 12 in the axial direction, the elastic piece 12b is deformed so that the axial size of the space portion 12e decreases, causing the spring portion 12a to shrink in the axial direction, and when the force is no longer applied, the elastic piece 12b is restored to its original state, causing the spring portion 12a to expand in the axial direction and return to its original state.

[0036] The space 12e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction partially overlaps in the circumferential direction. That is, the space 12e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction is formed to a length of more than half the width of the claw piece 12. By forming the space 12e large in the circumferential direction, the portion of the first engagement piece 12b1 connected in the axial direction by the second engagement piece 12b2 becomes small, and the second engagement piece 12b2 has a small circumferential width. Therefore, the first engagement piece 12b1 and the second engagement piece 12b2 have a small elastic modulus and are easily deformed. In this way, the larger the overlapping portion where the space parts 12e overlap each other, the easier the elastic piece 12b is to deform. Also, the smaller the circumferential width of the second engagement piece 12b2 is than the other parts of the claw piece 12, the easier the elastic piece 12b is to deform.

[0037] As a result, when the dispensing container 1 is subjected to vibration due to being dropped, for example, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A tries to come out in the forward direction, the multiple elastic pieces 12b deform so that the axial size of the space 12e changes. Therefore, the multiple elastic pieces 12b deform in the axial direction, causing the spring portion 12a to absorb the vibration, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from coming out or breaking.

[0038] Furthermore, when inserting the stick-shaped cosmetic material A into the cosmetic material holding portion 11, as the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is inserted axially from the tip, friction with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A causes the multiple elastic pieces 12b to deform so that the axial size of the space portion 12e becomes smaller, and the claw piece 12 holds the stick-shaped cosmetic material A while the spring portion 12a contracts in the axial direction. Then, when the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A abuts against the base portion end surface 15a, the multiple elastic pieces 12b are restored, causing the spring portion 12a to expand in the axial direction and return to its original state. In this way, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material A has a small diameter, excessive force is not applied to the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be held by the claw piece 12. This makes it possible to prevent the core from breaking when filling the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0039] A plurality of (three in this example) space portions 12e are formed alternately from both ends in the circumferential direction along the axial direction, so that a plurality of elastic pieces 12b are formed continuously in the axial direction, and the amount of deformation of the spring portion 12a in the axial direction can be increased.

[0040] Furthermore, by providing space 12e, the outer peripheral surface of stick-shaped cosmetic material A inserted into cosmetic material holding part 11 bites into space 12e, thereby strengthening the engagement of stick-shaped cosmetic material A with cosmetic material holding part 11. Therefore, even if stick-shaped cosmetic material A is about to move axially forward due to an impact or the like, the outer periphery of stick-shaped cosmetic material A will be caught by anti-slip portion 12c, which will be described later, and stick-shaped cosmetic material A will be prevented from falling out.

[0041] Of the multiple claw pieces 12, a pair of claw pieces 12 facing each other across the central axis have spaces 12e formed in the same circumferential direction. That is, the space 12e formed in one of the pair of claw pieces 12 and the space 12e formed in the other are formed to be rotationally symmetrical around the central axis. This allows the spaces 12e to be regularly arranged, making it possible to make the position at which the stick-shaped cosmetic material A engages within the cosmetic material holding part 11 uniform. This prevents the holding force of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from becoming uneven within the cosmetic material holding part 11, and prevents the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from falling out.

[0042] The retaining portion 12c is provided on the first engagement piece 12b1. The retaining portion 12c is formed at the front end portion in the axial direction of the space portion 12e. In other words, the retaining portion 12c is formed at the rear end portion of the first engagement piece 12b1. The retaining portion 12c is provided along the circumferential direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. The retaining portion 12c engages with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the axial direction. The space portion 12e is formed behind the retaining portion 12c.

[0043] Here, because portions of the space 12e formed from both circumferential ends largely overlap in the circumferential direction, the space 12e is formed beyond the circumferential center of the claw piece 12. This allows the circumferential dimension of the retaining portion 12c to be increased, thereby increasing the range over which the retaining portion 12c circumferentially engages with the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. Furthermore, multiple space portions 12e are provided along the axial direction.

[0044] As a result, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is about to move axially forward due to an impact or the like, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is caught over a wide area in the circumferential direction by the anti-slip portions 12c, and since multiple anti-slip portions 12c are formed in the axial direction, the effect of preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from falling out is increased.

[0045] The rotation stop portion 12d is provided on the second engagement piece 12b2. The rotation stop portion 12d is formed at the circumferential end of the space portion 12e. In other words, the rotation stop portion 12d is formed on the side of the second engagement piece 12b2. The rotation stop portion 12d is provided along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. The rotation stop portion 12d engages with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the circumferential direction. The space portion 12e is formed on the side of the rotation stop portion 12d.

[0046] As a result, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is about to rotate in the circumferential direction when it is being used, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A gets caught on the rotation stopper portion 12d, thereby preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from rotating.

[0047] Since the claw piece 12 has three spaces 12e in the axial direction, three anti-slip portions 12c that engage with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the axial direction and three anti-rotation portions 12d that engage with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the circumferential direction are also formed. In this way, by providing multiple spaces 12e in one claw piece 12, the number of engagement points where the claw piece 12 engages with the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A increases, and the engagement value in the axial and circumferential directions can be increased. Therefore, even if the number of claw pieces 12 that hold the stick-shaped cosmetic material A (two in this case) is small, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be sufficiently prevented from slipping out and rotating. Also, even if the claw piece 12 holds a stick-shaped cosmetic material A with a small diameter, and the circumferential width dimension of the claw piece 12 is small, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be sufficiently prevented from slipping out and rotating.

[0048] The tapered surface 12g is inclined so as to move away from the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A towards the tip. The tapered surface 12g is provided at a position axially spaced from the tip of the claw piece 12. The tapered surface 12g is formed with an inclination so that the inner diameter, which is the distance between the pair of claw pieces 12, increases towards the tip. The provision of the tapered surface 12g makes it easier to insert the stick-shaped cosmetic material A into the cosmetic material holding portion 11, and also prevents the outer periphery of the rear end of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from being scraped by the claw piece 12 when inserting the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0049] 3(a), the portion of the hook piece 12 on the tip side of the tapered surface 12g is formed to have a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. Therefore, this portion does not come into contact with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0050] The protrusion 12h is a projection that protrudes from the outer periphery of the claw piece 12. When the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is filled, the protrusion 12h abuts radially against the guide groove 21 of the front tube 20. The protrusion 12h is provided at an axial position closer to the tip than the space 12e. The area near the protrusion 12h can suppress the claw piece 12 from expanding outward due to a reaction force from the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, thereby preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from falling out.

[0051] The base end surface 15a is provided at the axial tip of the base portion 15. The bottom surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A comes into contact with the base end surface 15a.

[0052] A wall-like portion 22 along which the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A slides in the axial direction is provided in the through hole 20a of the front tube 20. When the core chuck member 10 is assembled to the front tube 20, the claw piece 12 is positioned in the guide groove 21 as shown in FIG.

[0053] The wall-like portion 22 supports the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. The wall-like portion 22 is formed in all parts of the through-hole 20a except for the guide groove 21. This makes it possible to increase the area in which the clearance between the wall-like portion 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be minimized.

[0054] By providing the wall-like portion 22, in a position where the claw piece 12 is not provided, the distance between the through hole 20a of the tip tube 20 and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is minimized, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be supported. Therefore, the occurrence of core breakage due to the inclination of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be prevented.

[0055] Furthermore, the wall-like portion 22 can constantly support the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A along the axial direction, thereby stabilizing the advancement and retreat of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. Therefore, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is extremely thin and soft and has a long payout stroke that makes it prone to breakage, core breakage due to tilting of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be prevented over the entire length from the retreat limit to the advance limit of the core chuck member 10.

[0056] As shown in Figures 2(a) and 2(b), the base portion 15 has an engagement rib portion 16 that circumferentially engages with the guide groove 21, and a male thread portion 17 that is formed continuously from the engagement rib portion 16 in the axial direction.

[0057] The engagement rib portion 16 is formed on the outer periphery of the portion between the base end face 15a on which the claw piece 12 is erected and the male thread portion 17. The engagement rib portion 16 is formed linearly along the axial direction. The engagement rib portion 16 engages with a guide groove 21 of the front tube 20, thereby restricting the relative rotation in the circumferential direction between the front tube 20 and the core chuck member 10. A groove portion is formed between adjacent engagement ribs 16 up to the end face 19. The end face 19 determines the forward movement limit of the core chuck member 10 when in contact with a rear end face 22a (see FIG. 1(a)) of a wall portion 22 in the front tube 20.

[0058] The male thread portions 17 are provided in a plurality of positions so as to protrude from the engaging rib portion 16 in the axial direction to the outer periphery of a portion formed to have a smaller diameter than the engaging rib portion 16. The male thread portions 17 are provided at a plurality of positions (two positions in this case) in the circumferential direction and at a plurality of positions in the axial direction. The male thread portions 17 are screwed into the female thread portion 43 (see FIG. 1(a)) of the female thread tube 40.

[0059] 1(b), the female threaded tube 40 is a tubular member made of resin and formed with a female threaded portion 43 that is threadedly engaged with the male threaded portion 17 of the core chuck member 10 and penetrates therethrough in the axial direction. The female threaded tube 40 has a rear end surface 44 that abuts against the step portion 35 of the base tube 30 when inserted into the base tube 30, and a front end surface 42 that abuts against the rear end surface 22a of the front tube 20 when the front tube 20 is assembled to the base tube 30.

[0060] A plurality of axially extending vertical ribs (not shown) are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the outer circumferential surface of the female thread tube 40. The vertical ribs engage with knurls (not shown) formed on the inner circumferential surface of the base tube 30 and function as a rotation stopper that prevents the female thread tube 40 from rotating relative to the base tube 30.

[0061] When the leading tube 20 and the base tube 30 are rotated relative to each other in a state in which the male thread portion 17 of the core chuck member 10 is screwed into the female thread portion 43 of the female thread tube 40, the core chuck member 10 rotates integrally with the leading tube 20, and the female thread tube 40 rotates integrally with the base tube 30, so that the core chuck member 10 and the base tube 30 rotate relative to each other. As a result, the male thread portion 17 of the core chuck member 10 rotates relative to the female thread portion 43, so that the core chuck member 10 moves relative to the female thread tube 40 in the axial direction. That is, a payout mechanism is formed that advances and retreats the rod-shaped cosmetic material A held by the core chuck member 10 from the tip opening 20b of the through hole 20a of the leading tube 20 by the relative rotation between the leading tube 20 and the base tube 30.

[0062] In this way, in the dispensing container 1, the female threaded tube 40 and the core chuck member 10 form a dispensing mechanism that dispensing the rod-shaped cosmetic material A in the axial direction, and when the front tube 20 and the base tube 30 are rotated relative to each other, the core chuck member 10 moves axially forward and backward within the front tube 20 and the base tube 30, and the rod-shaped cosmetic material A also moves forward and backward in accordance with the movement of the core chuck member 10.

[0063] Specifically, when the user rotates the leading tube 20 and the base tube 30 relative to each other in the forward direction, the core chuck member 10 moves axially toward the tip opening 20b of the leading tube 20, advancing the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. This causes the stick-shaped cosmetic material A to be fed out from the tip opening 20b. On the other hand, when the user rotates the leading tube 20 and the base tube 30 relative to each other in the reverse direction, the core chuck member 10 moves in the reverse direction, retracting the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. This causes the stick-shaped cosmetic material A to be fed back. The retraction limit of the core chuck member 10 is determined by the rear end face of the core chuck member 10 abutting against the bottom face of the base tube 30.

[0064] <First Modification> Next, a cosmetic material holding portion 111 of a core chuck member 110 as a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member according to a first modified example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 4. In each of the following modified examples, the same components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted as appropriate.

[0065] Figure 4 shows a cosmetic material holding portion 111 relating to the first modified example, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a cross-sectional view taken along a plane along the central axis in (a), (c) is a side view, and (d) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IVD-IVD in Figure 4(c).

[0066] A cosmetic material holding portion 111 according to this first modified example differs from the above-described embodiment in that a spring portion 12a is provided on only one of the claw pieces 12.

[0067] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the core chuck member 110 has a cosmetic material holding portion 111 that holds the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion 15 on which the cosmetic material holding portion 111 is erected.

[0068] The cosmetic material holding portion 111 includes multiple (here, two) claw pieces 112 and claw pieces 12 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion end surface 15a as a bottom portion that holds the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0069] The claw pieces 112 and 12 are erected in the axial direction from the end face 15a of the base portion. The outer peripheral surfaces of the claw pieces 112 and 12 are formed with a smaller diameter than the outer peripheral surface of the engaging ridge portion 16 of the base portion 15. The inner peripheral surfaces of the claw pieces 112 and 12 are formed in a curved shape so as to fit along the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0070] The claw pieces 112 and the claw pieces 12 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the claw pieces 112 and the claw pieces 12 are arranged at intervals of 180° in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the multiple guide grooves 21.

[0071] The claw piece 12 has a spring portion 12a, whereas the claw piece 112 does not have a spring portion 12a. The spring portion 12a is provided only on one of the claw pieces 12. That is, the spring portion 12a only needs to be provided on at least one of the multiple claw pieces (the claw piece 112 and the claw piece 12).

[0072] In this way, at least one of the multiple claws (claws 112 and 12) that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A has a spring portion 12a that is elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portion 12a. This suppresses the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from coming out or breaking.

[0073] As described above, the cosmetic material holding portion 111 according to the first modified example also provides the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment.

[0074] <Second Modification> Next, with reference to FIG. 5, a cosmetic material holding portion 211 of a core chuck member 210 serving as a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member according to a second modified example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0075] Figure 5 shows a cosmetic material holding portion 211 for a second modified example, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a side view, and (c) is a cross-sectional view along the line VC-VC in Figure 5(a).

[0076] A cosmetic material holding portion 211 according to this second modified example differs from the above-described embodiment in the shape of an elastic piece 212b that constitutes a spring portion 212a.

[0077] As shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b), the core chuck member 210 has a cosmetic material holding portion 211 that holds the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion 15 on which the cosmetic material holding portion 211 is erected.

[0078] The cosmetic material holding portion 211 includes multiple (here, two) claw pieces 212 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion end surface 15a as a bottom portion that holds the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0079] The claw pieces 212 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Specifically, two claw pieces 212 are arranged at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the multiple guide grooves 21. The number of claw pieces 212 needs to be the same as the number of guide grooves 21, so three or more claw pieces may be provided when three or more guide grooves 21 are provided.

[0080] As shown in Figures 5(a) to 5(c), the two claw pieces 212 are provided so as to face each other across the central axis. The claw pieces 212 are formed to have a radial thickness of about 0.60 [mm]. Each of the claw pieces 212 has a spring portion 212a as an elastic portion, a tapered surface 12g, and a protrusion 12h.

[0081] The spring portion 212a is provided on each of the plurality of claw pieces 212 so as to be elastically deformable in the axial direction.

[0082] In this way, the multiple claws 212 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A have spring portions 212a that are elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portions 212a. This suppresses the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from coming out or breaking.

[0083] Next, a detailed configuration of the spring portion 212a will be described. The spring portion 212a has a plurality of elastic pieces 212b, a retaining portion 12c, and a rotation preventing portion 212d.

[0084] The elastic piece 212b deforms when a force is applied in the axial direction of the claw piece 212. The elastic piece 212b is provided by forming a circumferential width of a portion of the axial direction of the claw piece 212 smaller than that of the other portion. Specifically, the elastic piece 212b is formed at an angle to the axial direction by providing spaces 212e in which the claw piece 212 is cut out in a triangular shape so as to be staggered from both ends in the circumferential direction. That is, the elastic piece 212b is formed to be approximately Z-shaped. A plurality of elastic pieces 212b are provided in the axial direction.

[0085] The elastic piece 212b has a first engagement piece 212b1 extending in the circumferential direction and a second engagement piece 212b2 axially connected to the first engagement piece 212b1. A plurality of first engagement pieces 212b1 and second engagement pieces 212b2 are provided and are alternately connected in the axial direction.

[0086] The second engagement piece 212b2 extends obliquely so as to be inclined in the circumferential direction along the axial direction. The elastic piece 212b can be deformed to expand and contract in the axial direction by the deformation of the first engagement piece 212b1 and the second engagement piece 212b2 while the axial size of the space portion 212e changes. When a force acts to shrink the claw piece 212 in the axial direction, the elastic piece 212b deforms so that the axial size of the space portion 212e decreases, causing the spring portion 212a to contract in the axial direction, and when the force is no longer applied, the elastic piece 212b is restored, causing the spring portion 212a to expand in the axial direction and return to its original state.

[0087] The space 212e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction partially overlaps in the circumferential direction. That is, the space 212e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction is formed to a length of more than half the width of the claw piece 212. By forming the space 212e large in the circumferential direction, the portion of the first engagement piece 212b1 that is axially connected by the second engagement piece 212b2 becomes small, and the second engagement piece 212b2 has a small circumferential width. Therefore, the first engagement piece 212b1 and the second engagement piece 212b2 have a small elastic modulus and are easily deformed. In this way, the larger the overlapping portion where the space portions 212e overlap each other, the easier the elastic piece 212b is to deform. Also, the smaller the circumferential width of the second engagement piece 212b2 is than the other parts of the claw piece 212, the easier the elastic piece 212b is to deform.

[0088] As a result, when the dispensing container 1 is subjected to vibration due to being dropped, for example, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A tries to come out in the forward direction, the multiple elastic pieces 212b deform so that the axial size of the space 212e changes. Therefore, the multiple elastic pieces 212b deform in the axial direction, causing the spring portion 212a to absorb the vibration, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from coming out or breaking.

[0089] A plurality of (here, six) space portions 212e are formed alternately from both ends in the circumferential direction along the axial direction. Therefore, a plurality of elastic pieces 212b are formed continuously in the axial direction, so that the amount of deformation of the spring portion 212a in the axial direction can be increased.

[0090] By providing the space 212e, the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A inserted into the cosmetic material holding part 211 bites into the space 212e, thereby strengthening the engagement of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A with the cosmetic material holding part 211. Therefore, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is about to move axially forward due to an impact or the like, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is caught by the stopper part 12c and the rotation stopper part 212d, so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is prevented from falling out.

[0091] The spaces 212e formed in the same circumferential direction in a pair of claw pieces 212 facing each other across the central axis among the multiple claw pieces 212 are formed to have the same shape. That is, the space 212e formed in one of the pair of claw pieces 212 and the space 212e formed in the other are formed to be rotationally symmetrical about the central axis. As a result, the spaces 212e are regularly arranged, so that the position at which the stick-shaped cosmetic material A engages within the cosmetic material holding part 211 can be made uniform. This prevents the holding force of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from becoming uneven within the cosmetic material holding part 211, and prevents the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from falling out.

[0092] The retaining portion 12c is provided on the first engagement piece 212b1. The retaining portion 12c is formed at the axial end of the space 212e. In other words, the retaining portion 12c is formed at the rear end of the first engagement piece 212b1. The retaining portion 12c is provided along the circumferential direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. The retaining portion 12c engages with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the axial direction. The space 212e is formed behind the retaining portion 12c.

[0093] The rotation stopper 212d is provided on the second engagement piece 212b2. The rotation stopper 212d is formed at the circumferential end of the space 212e. That is, the rotation stopper 212d is formed on the side (here, the front end and the rear end) of the second engagement piece 212b2. The rotation stopper 212d is provided obliquely so as to be inclined in the circumferential direction along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A. The front end and the rear end of the rotation stopper 212d engage with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the circumferential direction, and the rear end also engages with the stick-shaped cosmetic material A in the axial direction. That is, the second engagement piece 212b2 has not only the function of the rotation stopper 212d, but also the function of the removal prevention portion 212c similar to the removal prevention portion 12c. A space 212e is formed on the side of the rotation stopper 212d.

[0094] As a result, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is about to rotate in the circumferential direction when it is being used, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A gets caught on the rotation stopper portion 212d, thereby preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from rotating.

[0095] As described above, the cosmetic material holding portion 211 according to the second modified example also provides the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment.

[0096] <Third Modification> Next, with reference to FIG. 6, a description will be given of a cosmetic material holding portion 311 of a core chuck member 310 serving as a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member according to a third modified example of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0097] FIG. 6 is a front view of a cosmetic material holding portion 311 according to a third modified example.

[0098] The cosmetic material holding portion 311 according to the third modified example differs from the cosmetic material holding portion 211 according to the second modified example in that the orientation of some of the second engagement pieces 212b2 is different.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 6, the core chuck member 310 has a cosmetic material holding portion 311 that holds the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion 15 on which the cosmetic material holding portion 311 stands.

[0100] The cosmetic material holding portion 311 includes multiple (here, two) claw pieces 312 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, and a base portion end surface 15a as a bottom portion that holds the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A.

[0101] The claw pieces 312 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Specifically, two claw pieces 312 are arranged at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the multiple guide grooves 21. The number of claw pieces 312 may be the same as the number of guide grooves 21, and therefore, when three or more guide grooves 21 are provided, three or more claw pieces may be provided.

[0102] The two claw pieces 312 are provided so as to face each other across the central axis. The claw pieces 312 are formed to have a radial thickness of about 0.60 [mm]. Each of the claw pieces 312 has a spring portion 312a as an elastic portion, a tapered surface 12g, and a protrusion 12h.

[0103] The spring portion 312a is provided on each of the plurality of claw pieces 312 so as to be elastically deformable in the axial direction.

[0104] In this way, the multiple claws 312 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A have spring portions 312a that are elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portions 312a. This suppresses the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from coming out or breaking.

[0105] Next, a detailed configuration of the spring portion 312a will be described. The spring portion 312a has a plurality of elastic pieces 312b, a retaining portion 12c, and a rotation preventing portion 212d.

[0106] The elastic piece 312b deforms when a force is applied in the axial direction of the claw piece 312. The elastic piece 312b is provided by forming a circumferential width of a portion of the axial direction of the claw piece 312 smaller than that of the other portion. Specifically, the elastic piece 312b is formed at an angle to the axial direction by providing a space portion 212e in which the claw piece 312 is cut out in a triangular shape from both ends in the circumferential direction. A plurality of elastic pieces 312b are provided in the axial direction.

[0107] The elastic piece 312b has a first engagement piece 212b1 extending in the circumferential direction and a second engagement piece 212b2 axially connected to the first engagement piece 212b1. A plurality of first engagement pieces 212b1 and second engagement pieces 212b2 are provided and are alternately connected in the axial direction.

[0108] One of the multiple second engagement pieces 212b2 is provided so as to be inclined in the opposite direction to the other second engagement pieces 212b2 adjacent thereto in the axial direction. Specifically, the second engagement piece 212b2 closest to the base portion end surface 15a is inclined so that the elastic piece 312b is substantially Z-shaped, whereas the other second engagement pieces 212b2 adjacent thereto in the axial direction are inclined so that the elastic piece 312b is substantially inverted Z-shaped. That is, the second engagement pieces 212b2 formed in a substantially Z-shape and the second engagement pieces 212b2 formed in a substantially inverted Z-shape are alternately provided in the spring portion 312a in the axial direction.

[0109] The function of the second engagement piece 212b2, the function of the space 212e, and the function of the anti-slip portion 12c and the anti-rotation portion 212d are similar to those of the cosmetic material holding portion 211 in the second modified example described above, so detailed explanations will be omitted here.

[0110] As described above, the cosmetic material holding portion 311 according to the third modified example also provides the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment.

[0111] <Fourth Modification> Next, with reference to FIG. 7, a cosmetic material holding portion 411 of a core chuck member 410 serving as a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member according to a fourth modified example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0112] Figure 7 shows a cosmetic material holding portion 411 relating to the fourth modified example, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a side view, (c) is a cross-sectional view corresponding to Figure 1(c), and (d) is a cross-sectional view along line VIID-VIID in Figure 7(b).

[0113] A cosmetic material holding portion 411 according to this fourth modified example differs from the above-described embodiment and modified examples in that it holds a stick-shaped cosmetic material B having a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape.

[0114] The front tube 420 is a cylindrical member having a through hole 420a that passes through in the axial direction. The front tube 420 is provided so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material B can be advanced and retreated.

[0115] The through hole 420a guides the core chuck member 410 along the axial direction. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole 420a is similar to the cross-sectional shape of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B and is formed in a substantially elliptical shape. The through hole 420a extends along the axial direction and has a guide groove 421 that protrudes radially outward to guide the core chuck member 410 along the axial direction, and a wall-like portion 422 along which the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B slides along the axial direction (see FIG. 7(c)).

[0116] 7(c), the guide groove 421 is composed of a plurality of grooves (two in this example). The two guide grooves 421 are provided on a line passing through the central axis, facing each other with the central axis in between. The two guide grooves 421 are disposed at intervals of 180° in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the plurality of claw pieces 412. As long as a plurality of guide grooves 421 are provided, three or more guide grooves 421 may be provided.

[0117] The inner peripheral surface of the guide groove 421 is formed in a curved shape so as to form a part of an arc about the central axis. The claw piece 412 is positioned within the guide groove 421, and engages with the engaging ridge portion 16 described later.

[0118] Guide groove 421 is formed up to the rear end surface (not shown) of front tube 420. Guide groove 421 is formed up to just before the front end opening (not shown) of through hole 420a without reaching it. Guide groove 421 is provided on both ends of the short axis of through hole 420a so as to sandwich the long axis of through hole 420a.

[0119] The inner peripheral surface of the wall portion 422 is formed in a curved shape so as to form part of the arc that constitutes the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. The wall portion 422 supports the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. The wall portion 422 is provided so as to support the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A between adjacent claw pieces 412.

[0120] 7(a) to 7(c), the core chuck member 410 has a cosmetic material holding portion 411 that holds the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B, and a base portion 15 on which the cosmetic material holding portion 411 is erected. The core chuck member 410 holds the stick-shaped cosmetic material B.

[0121] A stick-shaped cosmetic material B having a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape is loaded into the cosmetic material holding portion 411. The stick-shaped cosmetic material B is a molding core formed into a stick shape and is used, for example, as an eyebrow, eyeliner, lip liner, etc. The outer diameter of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is formed slightly larger than the inner diameter of the cosmetic material holding portion 411. The ratio of the minor axis to the major axis of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is approximately 3 when the minor axis is 1.

[0122] As shown in Figures 7(a) and 7(b), the claw piece 412 stands upright in the axial direction from the base end face 15a. The outer peripheral surface of the claw piece 412 is formed with a smaller diameter than the outer peripheral surface of the engaging ridge portion 16 of the base portion 15. The inner peripheral surface of the claw piece 412 is formed in a curved shape so as to fit along the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. Multiple claw pieces 412 (two in this case) are provided so as to sandwich the stick-shaped cosmetic material B in the minor axis direction.

[0123] The claw pieces 412 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Specifically, two claw pieces 412 are arranged at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the multiple guide grooves 421. The number of claw pieces 412 needs to be the same as the number of guide grooves 421, so three or more claw pieces may be provided when three or more guide grooves 421 are provided.

[0124] The two claw pieces 412 are provided so as to face each other across the central axis. The claw pieces 412 are formed to have a radial thickness of about 0.90 [mm]. Each of the claw pieces 412 has a spring portion 412a as an elastic portion, a tapered surface 12g, and a protrusion 12h.

[0125] The spring portion 412a is provided on each of the plurality of claw pieces 412 so as to be elastically deformable in the axial direction.

[0126] In this way, the multiple claws 412 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B have spring portions 412a that are elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material B can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portions 412a. This suppresses the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material B, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from coming out or breaking.

[0127] Next, a detailed configuration of the spring portion 412a will be described. The spring portion 412a has a plurality of elastic pieces 12b, a retaining portion 12c, and a rotation preventing portion 12d.

[0128] The elastic piece 12b deforms when a force is applied in the axial direction of the claw piece 412. The elastic piece 12b is provided by forming a circumferential width of a portion of the axial direction of the claw piece 412 smaller than that of the other portion. Specifically, the elastic piece 12b is formed by providing spaces 12e in which the claw piece 412 is cut out in a U-shape so that both ends in the circumferential direction are alternately cut out.

[0129] The elastic piece 12b has the same configuration as the elastic piece 12b in the above-described embodiment, and differs only in that the number of spaces 12e is four, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0130] The space 12e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction overlaps in part in the circumferential direction. That is, the space 12e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction is formed to a length of more than half the width of the claw piece 412. By forming the space 12e large in the circumferential direction, the portion of the first engagement piece 12b1 that is axially connected by the second engagement piece 12b2 becomes small, and the width of the second engagement piece 12b2 in the circumferential direction becomes small. Therefore, the first engagement piece 12b1 and the second engagement piece 12b2 have a small elastic modulus and are easily deformed. In this way, the larger the overlapping portion of the space 12e, the easier the elastic piece 12b is to deform. Also, the smaller the circumferential width of the second engagement piece 12b2 is than the other parts of the claw piece 412, the easier the elastic piece 12b is to deform.

[0131] As described above, the cosmetic material holding portion 411 according to the fourth modified example also provides the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment.

[0132] Furthermore, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material B tilts when the core chuck member 410 advances and retreats, the angle of inclination is small because the area that can minimize the clearance between the stick-shaped cosmetic material B and the wall-shaped portion 422 is large. Therefore, the wall-shaped portion 422 can constantly support the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B along the axial direction with a sufficient area, preventing breakage of the core due to inclination of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B and stabilizing the advancement and retreat of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. Therefore, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is extremely thin and soft and has a long payout stroke that makes it prone to breakage, breakage of the core due to inclination of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B can be prevented over the entire length from the retreat limit to the advance limit of the core chuck member 410.

[0133] <Fifth Modification> Next, with reference to FIG. 8, a cosmetic material holding portion 511 of a core chuck member 510 serving as a stick-shaped cosmetic material holding member according to a fifth modified example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0134] Figure 8 is a diagram showing a cosmetic material holding portion 511 relating to the fifth modified example, where (a) is a front view, (b) is a side view, (c) is a cross-sectional view corresponding to Figure 1(c), and (d) is a cross-sectional view along line VIIID-VIIID in Figure 8(b).

[0135] A cosmetic material holding portion 411 according to the fifth modified example differs from that of the fourth modified example described above in the shape of an elastic piece 512b constituting a spring portion 512a.

[0136] As shown in Figures 8(a) to 8(c), the core chuck member 510 has a cosmetic material holding portion 511 that holds the outer peripheral surface of the rod-shaped cosmetic material B, and a base portion 15 on which the cosmetic material holding portion 511 is erected.

[0137] The cosmetic material holding part 511 includes a plurality of (two in this example) claw pieces 512 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B, and a base end surface 15a serving as a bottom surface part that holds the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. A stick-shaped cosmetic material B having a substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape is loaded into the cosmetic material holding part 511.

[0138] The claw pieces 512 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. Specifically, two claw pieces 512 are arranged at 180° intervals in the circumferential direction so as to correspond to the positions of the multiple guide grooves 421. The number of claw pieces 512 may be the same as the number of guide grooves 421, and therefore, when three or more guide grooves 421 are provided, three or more claw pieces may be provided.

[0139] The two claw pieces 512 are provided so as to face each other across the central axis. The claw pieces 512 are formed to have a radial thickness of about 0.90 [mm]. Each of the claw pieces 512 has a spring portion 512a as an elastic portion, a tapered surface 12g, and a protrusion 12h.

[0140] The spring portion 512a is provided on each of the plurality of claw pieces 512 so as to be elastically deformable in the axial direction.

[0141] In this way, the multiple claws 512 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B have spring portions 512a that are elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic material B can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to being dropped, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portions 512a. This suppresses the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic material B, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from coming out or breaking.

[0142] Next, a detailed configuration of the spring portion 512a will be described. The spring portion 512a has an elastic piece 512b, a retaining portion 12c, and a rotation preventing portion 512d.

[0143] The elastic piece 512b deforms when a force is applied in the axial direction of the claw piece 512. The elastic piece 512b is provided by forming a circumferential width of a portion of the axial direction of the claw piece 512 smaller than that of the other portion. Specifically, the elastic piece 512b is formed by providing spaces 512e in which the claw piece 512 is cut out in a U-shape so as to be staggered from both ends in the circumferential direction. That is, the elastic piece 512b is formed to be approximately S-shaped.

[0144] The elastic piece 512b has a single first engagement piece 512b1 extending in the circumferential direction, and a single second engagement piece 512b2 axially connected to the first engagement piece 512b1 and extending in the axial direction.

[0145] The second engagement piece 512b2 extends in an approximately S-shape, inclined alternately in different circumferential directions along the axial direction. The elastic piece 512b can be deformed to expand and contract in the axial direction by the deformation of the first engagement piece 512b1 and the second engagement piece 512b2 while the axial size of the space portion 512e changes. When a force acts to shrink the claw piece 512 in the axial direction, the elastic piece 512b deforms so that the axial size of the space portion 512e decreases, causing the spring portion 512a to contract in the axial direction, and when the force is no longer applied, the elastic piece 512b is restored, causing the spring portion 512a to expand in the axial direction and return to its original state.

[0146] The space 512e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction overlaps in part in the circumferential direction. That is, the space 512e formed from both ends in the circumferential direction is formed to a length of more than half the width of the claw piece 512. By forming the space 512e large in the circumferential direction, the portion of the first engagement piece 512b1 that is axially connected by the second engagement piece 512b2 becomes small, and the second engagement piece 512b2 has a small circumferential width. Therefore, the first engagement piece 512b1 and the second engagement piece 512b2 have a small elastic modulus and are therefore easily deformed. In this way, the larger the overlapping portion of the space 512e, the easier the elastic piece 512b is to deform. Also, the smaller the circumferential width of the second engagement piece 512b2 is than the other parts of the claw piece 512, the easier the elastic piece 512b is to deform.

[0147] As a result, when the dispensing container 1 is subjected to vibration due to being dropped, for example, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material B tries to come out in the forward direction, the elastic piece 512b deforms such that the axial size of the space 512e changes. Therefore, the elastic piece 512b deforms in the axial direction, and the spring portion 512a absorbs the vibration, preventing the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from coming out or breaking.

[0148] A plurality of (four here) space portions 512e are formed alternately from both ends in the circumferential direction along the axial direction. Therefore, the elastic piece 512b is formed in a substantially S-shape in the axial direction, so that the amount of deformation of the spring portion 512a in the axial direction can be increased.

[0149] By providing the space 512e, the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B inserted into the cosmetic material holding part 511 bites into the space 512e, thereby strengthening the engagement of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B with the cosmetic material holding part 511. Therefore, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is about to move axially forward due to an impact or the like, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is caught by the stopper part 12c and the rotation stopper part 512d, so that the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is prevented from falling out.

[0150] The spaces 512e formed in the same circumferential direction in a pair of claw pieces 512 facing each other across the central axis among the multiple claw pieces 512 are formed to have the same shape. That is, the space 512e formed in one of the pair of claw pieces 512 and the space 512e formed in the other are formed to be rotationally symmetrical about the central axis. As a result, the spaces 512e are regularly arranged, so that the position at which the stick-shaped cosmetic material B engages within the cosmetic material holding part 511 can be made uniform. This prevents the holding force of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from becoming uneven within the cosmetic material holding part 511, and prevents the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from falling out.

[0151] The retaining portion 12c is provided on the first engagement piece 512b1. The retaining portion 12c is formed at the axial end of the space 512e. In other words, the retaining portion 12c is formed at the rear end of the first engagement piece 512b1. The retaining portion 12c is provided along the circumferential direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. The retaining portion 12c engages with the stick-shaped cosmetic material B in the axial direction. The space 512e is formed behind the retaining portion 12c.

[0152] The rotation stopper 512d is provided on the second engagement piece 512b2. The rotation stopper 512d is formed at the circumferential end of the space 512e. That is, the rotation stopper 512d is formed on the side (here, the front end and the rear end) of the second engagement piece 512b2 formed in a substantially S-shape. The rotation stopper 512d is provided obliquely so as to be inclined in the circumferential direction along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B. The front end and the rear end of the rotation stopper 512d engage with the stick-shaped cosmetic material B in the circumferential direction, and the rear end also engages with the stick-shaped cosmetic material B in the axial direction. That is, the second engagement piece 512b2 has not only the function of the rotation stopper 512d, but also the function of the removal stopper 512c similar to the removal stopper 12c. A space 512e is formed on the side of the rotation stopper 512d.

[0153] As a result, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is about to rotate in the circumferential direction when it is being used, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B gets caught in the rotation stopper portion 512d, thereby preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from rotating.

[0154] Furthermore, by increasing the space 512e, the number of retaining portions 512c of the second engagement piece 512b2 increases. Therefore, even if there is only one first engagement piece 512b1 having a retaining portion 512c, the number of engagement points where the claw piece 512 engages with the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic material B in the axial direction can be increased, thereby improving the effect of preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic material B from falling out.

[0155] As described above, the cosmetic material holding portion 511 according to the fifth modified example also provides the same effects as the above-mentioned embodiment and each modified example.

[0156] According to the above embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

[0157] The core chuck member 10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510 which holds the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B in the dispensing container 1 includes a cosmetic material holding portion 11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511 which holds the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B, and a base portion 15 on which the cosmetic material holding portion 11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511 is erected. 11, 311, 411, 511 have a plurality of claw pieces 12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B and hold the outer peripheral surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B, and at least one of the plurality of claw pieces 12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512 has a spring portion 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a that is elastically deformable in the axial direction.

[0158] The dispensing container 1 also has cosmetic material holding sections 11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511 that hold the outer peripheral surfaces of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B, and a base section 15 on which the cosmetic material holding sections 11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511 are erected. The dispensing container 1 also has core chuck members 10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510 that hold the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B, and the core chuck members 10, 110, 210, 310 The front tube 20, 420 has a through hole 20a, 420a that guides the core chuck member 10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510 in the axial direction, and the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B can be advanced and retreated through the front tube 20, 420, and a base tube 30 is assembled to the front tube 20, 420 so as to be capable of relative rotation. and a payout mechanism for advancing and retracting the cosmetic material from the tip opening 20b of the through hole 20a, 420a. The cosmetic material holding portion 11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511 has a plurality of claw pieces 12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, B and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A, B. At least one of the plurality of claw pieces 12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512 One has a spring portion 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a that is elastically deformable in the axial direction, and a guide groove 21, 421 is provided in the through hole 20a, 420a of the front tube 20, 420 to guide the core chuck member 10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510 along the axial direction, and a claw piece 12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512 is positioned in the guide groove 21, 421.

[0159] According to these embodiments, at least one of the multiple claws 12, 112, 212, 312, 412, 512 that extend along the axial direction of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B and hold the outer circumferential surface of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B has a spring portion 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a that is elastically deformable in the axial direction. Therefore, the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B can be elastically supported in the axial direction, and even if vibrations are applied due to dropping, etc., the vibrations are absorbed by the spring portion 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a. Therefore, the transmission of vibrations to the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B is suppressed, and the core of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B can be prevented from coming out or breaking.

[0160] Further, the spring portion 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a has an elastic piece 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b that deforms when a force is applied in the axial direction of the claw piece 12, 212, 312, 412, 512. The elastic piece 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b is provided by forming the circumferential width of a part of the axial direction of the claw piece 12, 212, 312, 412, 512 to be smaller than the other part.

[0161] Further, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b are formed by providing spaces 12e, 212e, 512e formed by cutting out the claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512 from the circumferential ends.

[0162] According to these embodiments, when the dispensing container 1 is subjected to vibration due to being dropped, for example, and the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B attempt to come out in the forward direction, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform so that the axial size of the spaces 12e, 212e, 512e changes. Therefore, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform in the axial direction, causing the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a to absorb the vibration, thereby preventing the cores of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from coming out or breaking.

[0163] Further, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b have first engagement pieces 12b1, 212b1, 512b1 extending in the circumferential direction, and second engagement pieces 12b2, 212b2, 512b2 connected to the first engagement pieces 12b1, 212b1, 512b1 and extending in the axial direction.

[0164] According to this embodiment, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b can deform so as to expand and contract in the axial direction as the first engagement pieces 12b1, 212b1, 512b1 and the second engagement pieces 12b2, 212b2, 512b2 deform while the axial size of the space portions 12e, 212e, 512e changes. When a force is applied that shrinks the claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512 in the axial direction, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform so that the axial size of the space portions 12e, 212e, 512e becomes smaller, causing the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a to shrink in the axial direction, and when the force is no longer applied, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b restore their original shape, causing the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a to expand in the axial direction and return to their original state.

[0165] Further, a plurality of spaces 12e, 212e, 512e are formed from both circumferential ends along the axial direction.

[0166] According to this embodiment, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b are formed continuously in the axial direction, and the elastic piece 512b is formed substantially in an S-shape, so that the amount of deformation of the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a in the axial direction can be increased.

[0167] Furthermore, among the plurality of claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512, a pair of claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512 opposing each other across the central axis have spaces 12e, 212e, 512e formed in the same circumferential direction.

[0168] According to this embodiment, the space 12e, 212e, 512e formed in one of the pair of claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512 and the space 12e, 212e, 512e formed in the other are formed to be rotationally symmetrical about the central axis. As a result, the spaces 12e, 212e, 512e are regularly arranged, so that the positions at which the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B engage within the cosmetic material holding part 11, 211, 311, 411, 511 can be made uniform. This prevents the holding force of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from becoming biased within the cosmetic material holding part 11, 211, 311, 411, 511, and prevents the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from falling out.

[0169] The spaces 12e, 512e are formed by cutting out the claw pieces 12, 412, 512 in a U-shape from both circumferential ends so as to be staggered in the axial direction.

[0170] The space 212e is formed by cutting out a triangular shape from both circumferential ends of the claw pieces 212 and 312.

[0171] According to these embodiments, when the dispensing container 1 is subjected to vibration due to being dropped, for example, and the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B attempt to come out in the forward direction, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform so that the axial size of the spaces 12e, 212e, 512e changes. Therefore, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform in the axial direction, causing the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a to absorb the vibration, thereby preventing the cores of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from coming out or breaking.

[0172] Furthermore, the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a have retaining portions 12c, 212c, 512c that are provided facing the axial direction of the spaces 12e, 212e, 512e and axially engage with the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B. A plurality of retaining portions 12c, 212c, 512c are provided so as to face each of the plurality of spaces 12e, 212e, 512e.

[0173] According to this embodiment, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B are about to move axially forward due to an impact or the like, the outer circumference of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B will catch on the anti-slip portions 12c, 212c, and 512c, thereby preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from falling out.

[0174] Furthermore, the spaces 12e, 212e, and 512e formed from both circumferential ends partially overlap each other in the circumferential direction.

[0175] According to this embodiment, the space 12e, 212e, 512e is formed large in the circumferential direction, so that the portion of the first engagement piece 12b1, 212b1, 512b1 that is axially connected by the second engagement piece 12b2, 212b2, 512b2 becomes small, and the width of the second engagement piece 12b2, 212b2, 512b2 becomes small in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the first engagement piece 12b1, 212b1, 512b1 and the second engagement piece 12b2, 212b2, 512b2 have a small elastic modulus and are easily deformed.

[0176] As a result, when the dispensing container 1 is subjected to vibration due to being dropped, for example, and the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B attempt to come out in the forward direction, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform so that the axial size of the spaces 12e, 212e, 512e changes. Therefore, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b deform in the axial direction, causing the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a to absorb the vibration, preventing the cores of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from coming out or breaking.

[0177] In addition, when inserting stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B into the cosmetic material holding portion 11, 111, 211, 311, 411, 511, as the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B are inserted axially from the tip, friction with the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B causes the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b to deform so that the axial size of the space portions 12e, 212e, 512e becomes smaller, and the spring portions 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a contract in the axial direction while the claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512 hold the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B. When the bottom of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B abuts against the base end face 15a, the elastic pieces 12b, 212b, 312b, 512b restore, causing the spring parts 12a, 212a, 312a, 412a, 512a to expand in the axial direction and return to their original state. In this way, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B are thin, excessive force is not applied to the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B, and the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B can be held by the claw pieces 12, 212, 312, 412, 512. This makes it possible to prevent the core from breaking when filling the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A, B.

[0178] In addition, the space 12e, 212e, 512e is formed beyond the circumferential center of the claw piece 12, 212, 312, 412, 512. Therefore, the circumferential dimension of the retaining portion 12c, 212c, 512c can be increased, so that the range in which the retaining portion 12c, 212c, 512c engages with the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B in the circumferential direction is increased. Furthermore, a plurality of the space 12e, 212e, 512e is provided along the axial direction. As a result, even if the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B are about to move axially forward due to an impact or the like, the outer periphery of the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B is caught over a wide range in the circumferential direction by the retaining portion 12c, 212c, 512c, and since a plurality of the retaining portions 12c, 212c, 512c are formed in the axial direction, the effect of preventing the stick-shaped cosmetic materials A and B from falling out is increased.

[0179] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above-mentioned embodiments merely show some of the application examples of the present invention, and it is not intended that the technical scope of the present invention be limited to the specific configurations of the above-mentioned embodiments.
