[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-285163 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, in order to improve the aesthetic quality of a solid cosmetic product, for example, a glossy surface is sometimes required for the solid cosmetic product.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to produce a solid cosmetic product having a glossy surface. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] For this purpose, the technology disclosed in this specification is a method for producing a solid composition, including the steps of: supplying a composition to a container; pressing a mold for molding the composition against the composition supplied to the container via a cloth; changing the relative positions of the container and the mold so that the mold pressed against the composition moves away from the composition; and rotating the container and rubbing the composition with the cloth. The container may also have a bottom portion that supports the bottom portion of the composition, and a side wall that surrounds the sides of the composition. The container may also be rotated to rub the composition with the cloth and rub the inside surface of the side wall with the cloth. In addition, the composition may be formed into a shape having an upwardly protruding curved surface by pressing the molding die against the composition. The fabric may also be stretchable, allowing the area against which the composition is pressed to twist as the container is rotated. The method may also include a step of conveying the cloth rubbed with the composition and switching the area of ​​the cloth facing the composition. The container may be rotated through an angle of 90 degrees or more and 360 degrees or less. The composition may also contain 40% to 60% of a powder component and 40% to 60% of an oil component.

[0007] From yet another perspective, the technology disclosed in this specification is a method for producing a solid composition, including the steps of: supplying a composition into a container; pressing a pressed portion of a mold for molding the composition against the composition supplied to the container; changing the relative positions of the container and the mold so that the mold pressed against the composition moves away from the composition; and changing the relative angle of the mold with respect to the container, thereby rubbing the composition with the pressed portion of the mold.

[0008] From yet another perspective, the technology disclosed in this specification is an apparatus for manufacturing a solid composition, including a molding section that is pressed against a composition supplied to a container via a cloth to mold the composition, a separating section that changes the relative positions of the container and the molding section in a direction in which the molding section pressed against the composition moves away from the composition, and a rotating section that rotates the container and rubs the composition with the cloth.

[0011] Other embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. <Cosmetics 1> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a cosmetic product 1 produced in this embodiment. First, with reference to FIG. 1, the overall configuration of a cosmetic product 1 produced in this embodiment will be described.

[0012] As shown in FIG. 1(A), the cosmetic product 1 includes a cylindrical container 10 with a bottom, a cosmetic material 30 contained in the container 10, and a lid 50 that covers the container 10.

[0013] Here, the container 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1(B), the container 10 has a disk-shaped bottom 11 and a cylindrical side wall 13 standing up from the outer periphery of the bottom 11. The side wall 13 has a notch 15 formed in the outer periphery on the upper end 18 side, and a thread groove 17 formed therein. The thread groove 17 meshes with a thread groove (not shown) formed on the inner periphery of the lid 50, thereby fixing the lid 50 to the container 10. The inside of the container 10 is a substantially cylindrical space formed by the bottom surface 14 and the inner periphery 16. A cosmetic material 30 is contained inside the container 10. The lower surface of the cosmetic material 30 is supported by the bottom surface 14, and the lateral surfaces of the cosmetic material 30 are surrounded by the inner periphery 16.

[0014] Next, the cosmetic 30 will be described. The cosmetic 30 is, for example, a foundation, eye color, blusher, lip cream, concealer, or other solid cosmetic. More specifically, the cosmetic 30 is a clay-like cosmetic. Here, "clay-like" refers to a viscous state. Also, "clay-like" refers to a state that is in the intermediate region between a powdery state and an oily state. The cosmetic 30 of this embodiment is composed of approximately equal amounts of a powder component and an oily component (oil). More specifically, the composition of the cosmetic 30 is 4:6 to 6:4 powder:oil. The cosmetic 30 can also be regarded as a plastic material.

[0015] Here, the cosmetic material 30 has a dome-shaped shape. More specifically, the cosmetic material 30 has a curved surface that is thicker at the center than at the edges and protrudes upwardly toward the upper surface 31. In this cosmetic material 30, the center of the upper surface 31 is the apex 32 that protrudes most upwardly.

[0016] By forming the cosmetic 30 into a dome shape, it is possible to give a person who sees the cosmetic 30 an impression of elasticity, reminiscent of a so-called firmness. In addition, as will be described in detail later, in the manufacturing process of the cosmetic 30 in this embodiment, a treatment is performed to increase the gloss of the surface of the cosmetic 30. In other words, the surface of the cosmetic 30 is treated to give a glossy feel. By giving a glossy feel in this way, it is possible to give a person who sees the cosmetic 30 an impression that the cosmetic 30 is of good quality, that is, that it has a luxurious feel. Note that the gloss here is an index indicating the state of the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic 30. Furthermore, the gloss is evaluated by the intensity of the specularly reflected light. To explain further, increasing the gloss means treating the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic 30 so as to increase the specularly reflected light.

[0017] <Forming equipment 100> FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the molding apparatus 100. As shown in FIG. Next, a schematic configuration of the molding apparatus 100 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. In the following description, the up-down direction in Fig. 2 may be simply referred to as the up-down direction. However, this expression "up-down direction" does not limit the orientation in which each functional component of the molding apparatus 100 is arranged.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 2, the molding device 100 includes a filling holder 110 that holds a container 10 to be filled with cosmetic material 30, a molding die 150 that molds the cosmetic material filled in the container 10, a conveying section 170 that conveys a cloth 180 that is sandwiched between the cosmetic material 30 and the molding die 150, and a control section 190 that controls each of these functional components.

[0019] The filling holder 110 has a support table 111 that supports the container 10, and a rotating shaft 115 that supports the support table 111. The support table 111 has a recess 113 on which the container 10 is placed. Here, the rotating shaft 115 is rotatable by being driven by the control unit 190 (see arrow D11 in the figure). The filling holder 110 is not particularly limited, but is made of a metal material such as stainless steel.

[0020] The molding die 150 is a so-called pressing die that is pressed against the cosmetic material 30 filled in the container 10 to mold the cosmetic material 30. This molding die 150 functions as a dome pad. The molding die 150 includes a substantially disk-shaped main body portion 151 and a substantially cylindrical mold portion 153 that is provided continuous with the main body portion 151. The molding die 150 is driven by the control unit 190 and is movable in the vertical direction (see arrows D21 and D23 in the figure).

[0021] To explain further, the mold 150 can be positioned at any one of a standby position P0 where the mold 150 waits before molding, a molding position P1 where the mold 150 molds the cosmetic 30 into a dome shape, and a rotation position P2 where the mold 150 is positioned when rotating the cosmetic 30. In the vertical direction, the standby position P0 is the uppermost position, the molding position P1 is the lowermost position, and the rotation position P2 is between them. Although not particularly limited, the distance between the standby position P0 and the molding position P1 is, for example, 0.01 to 500 mm. The distance between the molding position P1 and the rotation position P2 is, for example, 0.01 to 5 mm.

[0022] Here, the mold part 153 has a recess 154 on its lower surface that defines the outer shape of the cosmetic 30. This recess 154 is generally circular in plan view. The recess 154 is formed by a curved surface 155 whose center is deeper than the edge. Here, the mold part 153 has a lower end 157 which is the tip in the direction toward the cosmetic 30, i.e., the lower end of the mold part 153. The lower end 157 is a portion located on the outer periphery of the recess 154. The molding die 150 is not particularly limited, and is formed from, for example, resin, metal, etc.

[0023] The conveying section 170 includes a payout spindle 171, a winding spindle 173, a first guide roll 175, and a second guide roll 177. The payout spindle 171 is a rotating shaft on which a payout roll 181 around which cloth 180 is wound in a roll shape is attached. The winding spindle 173 is a rotating shaft on which a winding roll 183 that winds up the cloth 180 is attached. The first guide roll 175 guides the cloth 180 paid out from the first guide roll 175 toward the cosmetic 30. The second guide roll 177 guides the cloth 180 pressed against the cosmetic 30 toward the winding roll 183.

[0024] The payout spindle 171 and the winding spindle 173 rotate by being driven by the control unit 190 (arrows D31 and D33 in the figure). With the rotation of the payout spindle 171 and the winding spindle 173, the fabric 180 is transported (see arrow D34 in the figure). To explain further, the payout spindle 171 rotates (see D31 in the figure), so that the fabric 180 is paid out from the payout roll 181. Furthermore, the winding spindle 173 rotates (see D33 in the figure), so that the fabric 180 is wound onto the winding roll 183.

[0025] The cloth 180 has a shape that is long in one direction with the same length in the width direction. More specifically, the cloth 180 is formed in a so-called belt shape. The cloth 180 is a woven fabric made of synthetic fibers such as, but not limited to, polyester, urethane, and acrylic.

[0026] Here, it is preferable that the fabric 180 has elasticity. Here, having elasticity means that the fabric 180 can stretch to an extent that allows the area against which the cosmetic 30 is pressed to be twisted as the container 10 is rotated, as described below. Note that having elasticity may mean that the stretch recovery rate is 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more.

[0027] In addition, it is preferable that the fabric 180 has low bending rigidity. Here, low bending rigidity means that the fabric 180 is deformable to such an extent that the area against which the cosmetic 30 is pressed can be twisted when the container 10 is rotated, as described below. Note that low bending rigidity means that the bending rigidity (B value) according to the KES method is 0.08 gf cm2 / cm or less, preferably 0.06gf cm 2 It is preferable that the thickness is less than / cm.

[0028] <Forming operation> FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the molding operation of the cosmetic material 30. As shown in FIG. Next, the molding operation of the cosmetic material 30 will be described with reference to Fig. 3. This molding operation is part of the manufacturing method of the cosmetic product 1.

[0029] First, as shown in FIG. 3(A), a prescribed amount of bulk cosmetic material 30 is filled into container 10 by a filling unit (not shown). At this time, cosmetic material 30 is in a state before being molded. The prescribed amount is set based on the size of the container. Furthermore, mold 150 is disposed above container 10, more specifically, at standby position P0. Cloth 180 is disposed between mold 150 and container 10. More specifically, mold 150 and container 10 are disposed in positions facing each other with cloth 180 therebetween. Furthermore, cloth 180 is not being transported and is in a stopped state.

[0030] Next, as shown in Fig. 3(B), the mold 150 descends (see arrow D23 in the figure). At this time, the cloth 180 is supported by the lower end 157 of the mold 150. Then, as shown in Fig. 3(C), the mold 150 is placed at the molding position P1. At this molding position P1, the recess 154 of the mold 150 is pressed against the cosmetic material 30, and the cosmetic material 30 is molded into a dome shape. More specifically, the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic material 30 has a curved shape.

[0031] Next, as shown in Fig. 3(D), the mold 150 rises. Then, the mold 150 is disposed at the rotation position P2. Then, as shown in Fig. 3(E), the container 10 rotates together with the filling holder 110 (see the arrow D11 in the figure). As a result, the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic material 30 filled in the container 10 is rubbed by the cloth 180.

[0032] Next, as shown in Fig. 3(F), the forming mold 150 rises (see arrow D21 in the figure). Then, the forming mold 150 is placed in the standby position P0. This makes it possible to remove the container 10. Then, the cloth 180 is conveyed (see arrow D34).

[0033] Additionally, in the illustrated example, the cloth 180 is transported each time it is pressed against the cosmetic material 30. That is, after the cloth 180 is pressed against the cosmetic material 30, the area of ​​the cloth 180 that faces the cosmetic material 30 is switched. This makes it possible to maintain the quality of the formed cosmetic material 30 even if the above-mentioned molding operation is repeated when manufacturing the cosmetic material 30.

[0034] <Rubbing action> Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating the operation of the cloth 180 rubbing the cosmetic material 30. Fig. 4(A) is a diagram illustrating a state in which the mold 150 is disposed at the molding position P1, and Fig. 4(B) is a diagram illustrating a state in which the mold 150 is disposed at the rotation position P2. Next, the rubbing action of the cloth 180 against the cosmetic 30 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

[0035] 4(A), when the mold 150 is placed at the molding position P1, the curved surface 155 of the mold 150 is pressed against the cosmetic material 30. At this time, the position of the lower end 157 of the mold 150 is the first position P11 where the cosmetic material 30 is pressed. In addition, the cloth 180 is sandwiched between the cosmetic material 30 and the mold 150.

[0036] 4(B), the mold 150 is raised (see arrow D21 in the figure) and placed at rotational position P2. At this rotational position P2, the lower end 157 of the mold 150 is at a second position P12 where it is released from the cosmetic material 30. To explain further, a space GP is formed between the cosmetic material 30 and the cloth 180 supported by the lower end 157 of the mold 150.

[0037] Here, the ascent of the mold 150 from the molding position P1 to the rotation position P2 is an operation that increases the distance between the curved surface 155 of the mold 150 and the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic material 30. In addition, this ascent of the mold 150 is an operation that increases the distance between the lower end 157 of the mold 150 and the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic material 30.

[0038] Here, the position of the lower end 157 of the mold 150 will be described. When the container 10 rotates, the lower end 157 of the mold 150 moves to a second position P12 that is higher than the first position P11 before the mold 150 rises (molding position P1). The second position P12 is a position lower than the apex position P13 of the apex 32 of the cosmetic 30. In other words, the second position P12 is located between the first position P11 and the apex position P13 in the vertical direction. In addition, the second position P12 is a position where the cloth 180 is maintained in contact with the cosmetic 30. In other words, the second position P12 is a position where the cloth 180 can cover the apex 32 without moving away from the apex 32.

[0039] It should be noted that the force with which the molding die 150 presses the cosmetic material 30 is reduced by the movement of the molding die 150 from the molding position P1 to the rotation position P2. Furthermore, when the molding die 150 is disposed at the rotation position P2, a space GP is formed between the cloth 180 and the cosmetic material 30 as described above. It should be noted that in this state, the molding die 150 does not necessarily press the cosmetic material 30 directly. That is, an embodiment may be such that the lower end 157 of the molding die 150 supports the cloth 180, so that the cloth 180 under tension presses the cosmetic material 30.

[0040] (Glossy) Now, as the container 10 rotates (see arrow D11 in FIG. 4(B)), the cosmetic 30 filled in the container 10 also rotates. As the cosmetic 30 rotates, the cosmetic 30 is rubbed by the cloth 180. That is, the cloth 180 moves along the surface of the cosmetic 30. This smooths the surface of the cosmetic 30, and the smoothness of the cosmetic 30 increases. In addition, the increased smoothness of the surface of the cosmetic 30 gives the cosmetic 30 a glossy appearance. In other words, the cosmetic 30 is polished by the cloth 180.

[0041] Furthermore, when the mold 150 is placed at the molding position P1 to mold the cosmetic 30, the cloth 180 is sandwiched between the mold 150 and the cosmetic 30. As the cloth 180 is sandwiched in this way, a mark of the cloth 180, a so-called texture, may be formed on the surface of the cosmetic 30. Even if the texture is formed on the surface of the cosmetic 30 in this way, the cosmetic 30 rotates as described above to smooth the surface of the cosmetic 30, so that the texture disappears or becomes difficult to see.

[0042] (Space GP) In the illustrated example, before the container 10 rotates as described above (see arrow D11 in the figure), the mold 150 rises (see arrow D21 in the figure) and is placed at rotation position P2. At this rotation position P2, the fabric 180 is pressed against the cosmetic material 30. When the container 10 rotates in this state, a part of the cosmetic material 30 that is subjected to stress from the fabric 180 moves toward the outer periphery (see arrow D50 in the figure). The moved cosmetic material 30 is then contained within the space GP.

[0043] Here, in a mode in which the mold 150 is not elevated before the container 10 rotates (see arrow D11 in the figure), unlike the present embodiment, the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10 may become soiled with the cosmetic material 30. To explain further, in a mode in which the mold 150 is not elevated, a portion of the cosmetic material 30 that is subjected to stress from the cloth 180 and moves to the outer peripheral side may get into between the outer peripheral surface 158 of the mold 150 and the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10. The cosmetic material 30 that gets into between the outer peripheral surface 158 of the mold 150 and the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10 adheres to the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10, impairing the aesthetics of the cosmetic product 1.

[0044] On the other hand, in this embodiment, a space GP is formed by the mold 150 rising as described above. By forming this space GP, the cosmetic material 30 that has moved to the outer periphery is accommodated within the space GP, and the cosmetic material 30 is prevented from entering between the outer periphery surface 158 of the mold 150 and the inner periphery surface 16 of the container 10. In other words, after pressing with the mold 150, a certain gap (clearance) is provided between the mold 150 and the cosmetic material 30, and then the mold 150 is rotated, thereby preventing the inner periphery surface 16 of the container 10 from becoming dirty.

[0045] (Wipe off) In this embodiment, when the container 10 rotates (see arrow D11 in the figure), the cloth 180 is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface 158 of the mold 150 and the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10. When the container 10 rotates with the cloth 180 sandwiched therebetween (see arrow D11 in the figure), the cloth 180 rubs the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10, that is, the cloth 180 wipes the inside surface of the container 10. Therefore, even if the cosmetic material 30 adheres to the inner peripheral surface 16, the cosmetic material 30 is wiped off by the cloth 180. This prevents the aesthetics of the cosmetic product 1 from being impaired by dirt on the inner peripheral surface 16 of the container 10.

[0046] (stretchability) Now, the fabric 180 has elasticity that allows the container 10 to be rotated as described above. The elasticity of the fabric 180 further increases the smoothness of the cosmetic 30. To explain further, unlike the illustrated example, if the fabric 180 does not have elasticity, wrinkle patterns may be formed on the surface of the cosmetic 30. In the illustrated example, the fabric 180 stretches even when part of the fabric 180 is twisted, thereby suppressing the formation of wrinkle patterns on the cosmetic 30.

[0047] (Rotation angle) In addition, the angle at which the cosmetic 30 rotates (see arrow D11 in the figure) is preferably 90 degrees or more and 360 degrees or less. If the rotation angle is smaller than the above range, the cosmetic 30 will not be sufficiently smoothed. If the rotation angle is larger than the above range, the production efficiency of the cosmetic 30 will decrease. In the illustrated example, the rotation angle is 180 degrees. This makes it possible to smooth the cosmetic 30 while preventing a decrease in the production efficiency of the cosmetic 30. In addition, the first guide roll 175 and the second guide roll 177 (see FIG. 2) that support the cloth 180 support the cloth 180 with a tension that allows the cloth 180 to expand and contract as the container 10 rotates in the range of 90 degrees or more and 360 degrees or less, more preferably 180 degrees.

[0048] <Modification> FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining a modified example. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining another modified example. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating yet another modified example. Next, a modified example of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 7. In the following description, the same components as those in the above embodiment will be designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof may be omitted.

[0049] In the above description, it has been described that the lower end 157 of the mold portion 153 supports the cloth 180. However, the manner in which the cloth 180 is supported is not limited to this, so long as the cloth 180 can rub the surface of the cosmetic 30 in a state in which the cosmetic 30 is pressed against the cloth 180.

[0050] For example, a configuration as shown in Fig. 5(A) may be used. The container 210 shown in Fig. 5(A) has a side wall portion 213. An upper end 218 of the side wall portion 213 is located below the outer edge 34 of the cosmetic material 30. In other words, the cosmetic material 30 is disposed so as to protrude above the upper end 218.

[0051] Moreover, the first guide roll 275 and the second guide roll 277 are movable in the vertical direction. To explain further, the first guide roll 275 and the second guide roll 277 can be disposed below the upper surface 31 of the cosmetic 30. By disposing the first guide roll 275 and the second guide roll 177 below the upper surface 31, the cloth 180 is pressed against the cosmetic 30. In this arrangement, the cosmetic 30 is rubbed by the cloth 180 by rotating the container 10.

[0052] Also, the mold 350 may be configured as shown in FIG. 5(B). More specifically, the mold 350 includes a main body 351 and a mold part 353 in the shape of a substantially truncated cone that is continuous with the main body 351. The mold part 353 includes a recess 354 and a lower end 357. The mold part 353 has a shape in which the outer diameter decreases toward the upper side. That is, the outer circumferential surface 358 of the mold part 353 is inclined in a direction away from the inner circumferential surface 16 of the container 10 toward the upper side. This prevents the cosmetic material 30 from advancing to the upper side of the inner circumferential surface 16 even if a part of the cosmetic material 30 gets between the outer circumferential surface 358 of the mold 350 and the inner circumferential surface 16 of the container 10.

[0053] In the above description, the cosmetic material 30 has a dome-shaped shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, the upper surface 531 may be flat, as in the cosmetic material 530 shown in FIG. 5(C). To further explain, the container 510 shown in FIG. 5(C) has a side wall portion 513. The upper end 518 of the side wall portion 513 is located below the outer edge 534 of the cosmetic material 530. The mold 550 has a main body portion 551 and a substantially cylindrical mold portion 553 provided continuously with the main body portion 551. The lower surface 555 of the mold portion 553 is flat. The first guide roll 575 and the second guide roll 577 are movable in the vertical direction. The first guide roll 575 and the second guide roll 577 can be arranged at a position where the cosmetic material 30 is pressed against the cloth 180. In this arrangement, the cosmetic material 530 is rubbed by the cloth 180 by rotating the container 510.

[0054] In the above description, the cosmetic material 30 is molded by pressing the mold 150 against the cosmetic material 30 with the cloth 180 sandwiched between the mold 150 and the cosmetic material 30, but this is not limiting. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, the cloth 180 may be sandwiched after the cosmetic material 30 is molded.

[0055] To explain further, as shown in Fig. 6(A), the mold 150 is pressed against the cosmetic 30 to mold the cosmetic 30 without sandwiching the cloth 180 between the mold 150 and the cosmetic 30. Then, as shown in Fig. 6(B), the cosmetic 30 and the mold 150 are separated from each other. Then, the cloth 180 is passed between the cosmetic 30 and the mold 150. Then, as shown in Fig. 6(C), the cosmetic 30 and the mold 150 are brought closer to each other, so that the cosmetic 30 is pressed against the cloth 180. In this state, by rotating the cosmetic 30, the smoothness of the cosmetic 30 is increased, and the cosmetic 30 has a glossy feel.

[0056] The cosmetic material 30 and the mold 150 may have the following shapes, for example. For example, the cosmetic material 30 and the mold 150 may be configured as shown in FIG. 7(A). To explain further, the cosmetic material 630 has an upper surface 631 that is a flat surface (top surface) and an inclined surface 637 located on the outer periphery of the upper surface 631. That is, the cosmetic material 630 may have a convex shape in which a vertical cross section with respect to the upper surface 631 is a trapezoid. The cosmetic material 630 can be considered as having a shape in which the upper surface 631 is horizontal with the bottom surface of the container. The mold 650 has a bottom surface 655 that is a flat surface and an inclined surface 657 located on the outer periphery of the bottom surface 655. That is, the mold 650 may have a concave shape in which a vertical cross section with respect to the bottom surface 655 is a trapezoid.

[0057] Alternatively, the cosmetic material 730 and the mold 750 may be configured as shown in FIG. 7(B). More specifically, the cosmetic material 730 has a concave portion 731 formed by a curved surface. That is, the cosmetic material 730 has a so-called bowl shape. The mold 750 has a convex portion 755 formed by a curved surface. That is, the mold 750 has a dome shape.

[0058] Alternatively, the cosmetic material 830 and the mold 850 may be configured as shown in Fig. 7(C). More specifically, the cosmetic material 830 includes a convex portion 831 formed of a curved surface and a concave portion 837 located on the outer periphery of the convex portion 831. That is, the cosmetic material 830 has a shape in which the convex portion 831 and the concave portion 837 are mixed. The mold 850 includes a concave portion 855 formed of a curved surface and a convex portion 857 located on the outer periphery of the concave portion 855.

[0059] In the above description, the fabric 180 is used, but the fabric is not limited to this so long as it is an elastically deformable sheet-like member. The fabric 180 may be, for example, a nonwoven fabric, paper, film, or the like.

[0060] Also, unlike the above description, the cloth 180 does not need to be used. To explain further, if the angle of the cosmetic 30 relative to the mold 150 is changed (rotated) after the mold 150 is pressed against the cosmetic 30, the cloth 180 does not need to be provided between the mold 150 and the cosmetic 30. Specifically, after the mold 150 is pressed against the cosmetic 30, the cosmetic 30 and the mold 150 are moved in a direction to separate from each other within a range in which the mold 150 maintains a state in which it is in contact with the cosmetic 30. Then, the cosmetic 30 may be rotated relative to the mold 150 at the separated position, so that the cosmetic 30 is rubbed by the mold 150.

[0061] In the above description, the mold 150 is pressed against the cosmetic 30, and then the mold 150 is moved to separate the cosmetic 30 from the cosmetic 30. However, this is not limited to the above. As long as the relative position of the mold 150 with respect to the cosmetic 30 changes, the cosmetic 30 may move, or both the cosmetic 30 and the mold 150 may move. This also applies to other moving operations in the above description. For example, the cosmetic 30 is rubbed with the cloth 180 by rotating the cosmetic 30 after the mold 150 is separated from the cosmetic 30, but this is not limited to the above. As long as the relative angle of the cloth 180 with respect to the cosmetic 30 changes, the cloth 180 may rotate, or both the cosmetic 30 and the cloth 180 may rotate.

[0062] In the above description, the cosmetic material 30 is molded, but the present invention is not limited to this as long as the cosmetic material 30 is a solid composition. For example, the above configuration may be used in the manufacturing process of foods such as bean paste and ice cream, stationery such as adhesives and inks, toys such as clay and dolls, and medicines such as ointments.

[0063] Although various embodiments and modifications have been described above, it is of course possible to combine these embodiments and modifications. Furthermore, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be embodied in various forms without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.
