Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] A cosmetic product dispensing container, a set of cosmetic product dispensing containers, and a cosmetic product body according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 2(a), a cosmetic product dispensing container set 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cosmetic product body 4 composed of a solid, rod-shaped cosmetic product 2 and a tray 3 for holding the same, and a cosmetic product dispensing container 5 for replaceably and dispensably storing the cosmetic product body 4. The cosmetic product dispensing container 5 is composed of a cosmetic product body 4, a cap 6, a skirt 7, a handle 8, a spiral member 9, and a spacer 10. The tray 3 of the cosmetic container 4, the skirt 7, the handle 8, the spiral member 9, and the spacer 10 of the cosmetic dispensing container 5 constitute a cosmetic dispensing mechanism that realizes the operation of dispensing and storing the cosmetic 2 from inside the skirt 7.

[0012] The cap 6 of the cosmetic dispensing container 5 is formed by closing one end of a cylindrical member made of plastic (see Fig. 3(b)). The cap 6 has an inner diameter that can be externally fitted to the small-diameter portion 11, which will be described later, of the skirt 7. The outer diameter of the cap 6 is designed to be the same as the outer diameter of the large-diameter portion 12, which will be described later, of the skirt 7. A groove 6a extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface near the end on the opposite side of the closed end of the cap 6, that is, the end on the open side (the lower end of the cap 6 in Fig. 2(a)). The inner peripheral surface of the open-side end of the cap 6 is an inclined surface whose inner diameter increases toward the outside in the central axis direction of the cosmetic dispensing container 5, facilitating the insertion of the small-diameter portion 11 of the skirt 7 into the cap 6.

[0013] The skirt 7 is made of a cylindrical member made of plastic (see Fig. 3(c)). The skirt 7 integrally includes a small-diameter portion 11 that can be internally fitted to the cap 6 and a large-diameter portion 12 having a larger outer diameter and inner diameter than the small-diameter portion 11, in order along the central axis direction from above in Fig. 1(a). The length of the large-diameter portion 12 in the central axis direction is designed to be slightly larger than that of the small-diameter portion 11. On the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion 11, near the end on the large-diameter portion 12 side (the lower end of the small-diameter portion 11 in Fig. 1(a)), three protrusions 11a are integrally formed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. When the cap 6 is attached to the small-diameter portion 11, the protrusions 11a of the small-diameter portion 11 are fitted into the groove 6a of the cap 6, enabling the cap 6 to be firmly fixed to the small-diameter portion 11.

[0014] The inner peripheral surface of the end portion of the small-diameter portion 11 on the side opposite to the large-diameter portion 12 side (the upper end portion of the small-diameter portion 11 in FIG. 1(a)) is an inclined surface whose inner diameter increases toward the outside in the central axis direction, facilitating the insertion of the tray 3 of the cosmetic body 4 into the small-diameter portion 11. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the small-diameter portion 11 in FIG. 1(a) is an inclined surface whose outer diameter decreases toward the outside in the central axis direction, facilitating the insertion of the small-diameter portion 11 into the cap 6.

[0015] A groove 12a extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface near the end portion of the large-diameter portion 12 on the side opposite to the end portion on the small-diameter portion 11 side (the lower end portion of the large-diameter portion 12 in FIG. 1(a)). The inner peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the large-diameter portion 12 in FIG. 1(a) is an inclined surface whose inner diameter increases toward the outside in the central axis direction, facilitating the insertion of the small-diameter portion 13 of the handle 8 described later into the large-diameter portion 12 of the skirt 7.

[0016] The handle 8 is formed by closing one end of a plastic cylindrical member (see FIG. 3(h)). The handle 8 integrally includes a small-diameter portion 13 that can be fitted into the large-diameter portion 12 of the skirt 7 and a large-diameter portion 14 whose outer diameter is larger than that of the small-diameter portion 13 and whose inner diameter is the same as that of the small-diameter portion 13, in order along the central axis direction from above in FIG. 1(a). The small-diameter portion 13 is designed to have a length in the central axis direction smaller than that of the large-diameter portion 14. On the inner peripheral surfaces of the small-diameter portion 13 and the large-diameter portion 14 of the handle 8, four ridges 8a extending in the central axis direction are integrally formed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 3(h).

[0017] The outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 14 of the handle 8 is subjected to flat knurling as an anti-slip measure when the user of the cosmetic dispensing container 5 grips it. On the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion 13 of the handle 8, three protrusions 13a are integrally formed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. The small-diameter portion 13 of the handle 8 is inserted into the large-diameter portion 12 of the skirt 7, and the protrusions 13a of the small-diameter portion 13 of the handle 8 are fitted into the groove 12a of the large-diameter portion 12 of the skirt 7, whereby the handle 8 is rotatably attached to the large-diameter portion 12 of the skirt 7.

[0018] The spiral member 9 is made of a plastic cylindrical member (see Fig. 3(g)). The spiral member 9 integrally includes a tray guide portion 15, a spiral groove forming portion 16, and a handle fixing portion 17 in order along the central axis direction from above in Fig. 1(a). The spiral member 9 is not limited to a cylindrical member and may be a columnar member.

[0019] The tray guide portion 15 guides the tray 3 of the cosmetic body 4 to the spiral groove forming portion 16. On the outer peripheral surface of the tray guide portion 15, a protrusion 15a having a hemispherical cross-section and extending in the circumferential direction is formed. On the outer peripheral surface of the tray guide portion 15, the portion on the side of the spiral groove forming portion 16 with respect to the protrusion 15a is an inclined surface 15b whose outer diameter increases toward the spiral groove forming portion 16 side. By this inclined surface 15b, a protrusion 22a of an extending portion 22 described later provided on the tray 3 can be guided to a spiral groove 16a described later of the spiral groove forming portion 16. On the outer peripheral surface of the tray guide portion 15, the portion on the opposite side of the spiral groove forming portion 16 with respect to the protrusion 15a has a constant outer diameter.

[0020] The spiral groove forming portion 16 has the same inner diameter as that of the tray guide portion 15, and two spiral grooves 16a are formed on the outer peripheral surface. The handle fixing portion 17 is designed such that its outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the handle 8. As shown in Fig. 3(h), four grooves 17a extending in the central axis direction are formed on the outer peripheral surface at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. When the handle fixing portion 17 is inserted into the handle 8 and four protrusions 8a of the handle 8 are fitted into the four grooves 17a of the handle fixing portion 17, the handle fixing portion 17 is attached to the handle 8 in a non-rotatable manner relative to the handle 8.

[0021] The spacer 10 is for filling the gap between the tray 3 inserted into the hakama 7 and the large-diameter portion 12 of the hakama 7, and is composed of a plastic cylindrical member (see Fig. 3(h)). The outer diameter of the spacer 10 is constant, and on the inner peripheral surface, in order from above in Fig. 1(a) along the central axis direction, a large-diameter portion 18 and a small-diameter portion 19 with an inner diameter smaller than that of the large-diameter portion 18 are provided. On the inner peripheral surface of the spacer 10, at the boundary portion between the large-diameter portion 18 and the small-diameter portion 19, an inclined portion 20 with a decreasing inner diameter toward the small-diameter portion 19 side is provided.

[0022] The large-diameter portion 18 of the spacer 10 is provided on the spacer 10 so as to face the tray guiding portion 15 of the spiral member 9 in the radial direction. The inner diameter of the large-diameter portion 18 is designed to be of a size that allows this deformation when the extending portion 22 of the tray 3 deforms radially outward, as will be described in detail later. The inner diameter of the small-diameter portion 19 of the spacer 10 is designed to be of a size such that the inner peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion 19 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the tray 3. Specifically, the inner diameter of the small-diameter portion 19 is designed to be of a size that prevents the rotation of the tray 3 when the small-diameter portion 19 is externally fitted to the tray 3 and allows the sliding of the tray 3 in the central axis direction.

[0023] The spacer 10 is inserted into the large-diameter portion 12 of the hakama 7, and when the handle 8 is attached to the large-diameter portion 12 of the hakama 7, it is pressed from the outside in the central axis direction by the step portion at the boundary between the large-diameter portion 12 and the small-diameter portion 11 of the hakama 7 and the small-diameter portion 13 of the handle 8, and is non-rotatable within the hakama 7. The outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the spacer 10 in Fig. 1(a) is an inclined surface with a decreasing outer diameter toward the outside in the central axis direction, which facilitates the insertion of the spacer 10 into the large-diameter portion 12 of the hakama 7.

[0024] The tray 3 of the cosmetic container 4 is made of a plastic cylindrical member (see Fig. 3(e)). At the end of the tray 3 on the handle 8 side (the lower end in Fig. 1(a)), by forming two slits 21a and 21b extending in the central axis direction, an extending portion (flexible portion) 22 extending in the central axis direction is provided. On the inner surface of the tip of the extending portion 22, a radially inward protrusion 22a that can be screwed into the spiral groove 16a of the spiral member 9 is integrally formed. Such two slits 21a, 21b and the extending portion 22 are provided in a pair so as to sandwich the central axis at the lower end of the tray 3 in Fig. 3(e).

[0025] The inner peripheral surfaces of the lower end of the tray 3 in Fig. 1(a) and the tip of the extending portion 22 are inclined surfaces whose inner diameters increase toward the outside in the central axis direction. Thereby, when the tray 3 is inserted into the hakama 7, the lower end of the tray 3 in Fig. 1(a) and the extending portion 22 can be prevented from being caught by the upper end of the tray guide portion 15 of the spiral member 9 or the ridge 15a of the tray guide portion 15 inside the hakama 7.

[0026] The tray 3 is integrally provided with a circular plate-like portion 23 extending orthogonally to the central axis direction so as to divide the space inside the tray 3 into two. Specifically, the position of the plate-like portion 23 in the central axis direction in the tray 3 is set such that the ratio of the sizes of the space on the handle 8 side (the lower side in Fig. 1(a)) and the side opposite to the handle 8 side (the upper side in Fig. 1(a)) in the space inside the tray 3 is approximately 2 to 1. Inside the upper space of the tray 3 in Fig. 1(a), a cylindrical cosmetic 2 is arranged. On the upper surface of the plate-like portion 23 in Fig. 1(a), a protrusion 23a extending in the central axis direction is integrally formed. By this protrusion 23a piercing the bottom surface of the cosmetic 2, the cosmetic 2 is held non-rotatably in the tray 3. A circular through-hole 23b is formed at the center of the plate-like portion 23.

[0027] For the cosmetic 2 of the cosmetic body 4, a solid cosmetic in a stick shape such as lipstick, lip cream, stick foundation, hair stick, deodorant stick, etc. can be adopted. In this embodiment, a cylindrical lipstick with a slope at the tip is adopted (see Fig. 3(d)). The shape of the cosmetic 2 is not limited to this, and for example, a bullet shape or other cylindrical shapes may be used. Also, the shape of the cross-section of the cosmetic 2 is not limited to a circle, and for example, an ellipse or the like may be used.

[0028] Under the configuration described above, when the user of the cosmetic delivery container set 1 removes the cap 6 from the skirt 7 of the cosmetic delivery container 5 and rotates the handle 8, the spiral member 9 rotates together with the handle 8, whereby the tray 3 of the cosmetic body 4 is fed upward in Fig. 2(a), and the cosmetic 2 can be exposed outside the skirt 7 as shown in Fig. 1(a) (see Fig. 3(a)). Then, when the user rotates the handle 8 in the reverse direction, the spiral member 9 rotates in the reverse direction and the tray 3 is returned downward in Fig. 1(a), and the cosmetic 2 can be stored in the skirt 7 as shown in Fig. 2(a). Note that a cap 6 is attached to the skirt 7 to prevent dust from adhering to the cosmetic 2 in the skirt 7.

[0029] The procedure for replacing the cosmetic body 4 in the cosmetic delivery container set 1, that is, the removal of the cosmetic body 4 from the cosmetic delivery container 5 and the attachment of the cosmetic body 4 to the cosmetic delivery container 5 will be described. <Removal of the cosmetic body 4 from the cosmetic delivery container 5> Procedure 1-1: The user of the cosmetic delivery container set 1 rotates the handle 8 of the cosmetic delivery container 5 to maximize the amount of the tray 3 fed out from the skirt 7 (see Figs. 1(a) and 3(a)).

[0030] Step 1-2: The user holds the tray 3 exposed from the hakama 7 and rotates the handle 8 while pulling it upward in Fig. 1(a). As a result, the protrusion 22a of the extending portion 22 of the tray 3 escapes from the spiral groove 16a of the spiral groove forming portion 16 of the spiral member 9. At this time, as shown in Fig. 1(b), the protrusion 22a is positioned on the inclined portion 15b between the protrusion 15a of the tray guiding portion 15 of the spiral member 9 and the spiral groove forming portion 16. In this state, even if the user turns the hakama 7 upside down, the protrusion 22a is caught by the protrusion 15a, so that the tray 3 can be prevented from accidentally falling out of the hakama 7.

[0031] Step 1-3: The user holds the tray 3 and pulls it upward in Fig. 1(a). As a result, the protrusion 22a of the extending portion 22 of the tray 3 climbs over the protrusion 15a of the tray guiding portion 15 of the spiral member 9, and the user can remove the tray 3 from the hakama 7. Thereby, the removal operation of the cosmetic body 4 from the hakama 7 is completed.

[0032] Here, as described above, a large-diameter portion 18 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the spacer 10 so as to face the protrusion 15a of the tray guiding portion 15 of the spiral member 9, and thereby a space is provided between the tray guiding portion 15 and the spacer 10. In this Step 1-3, when the protrusion 22a of the extending portion 22 of the tray 3 climbs over the protrusion 15a of the tray guiding portion 15 of the spiral member 9, the extending portion 22 elastically deforms radially outward. This space enables the elastic deformation of the extending portion 22.

[0033] According to the above procedure, when the user has used up the cosmetic 2 of the cosmetic body 4, the user can easily remove the cosmetic body 4 from the hakama 7.

[0034] <Attachment of the Cosmetic Body 4 to the Cosmetic Feeding Container 5> Step 2-1: The user inserts the tray 3 of the cosmetic body 4 into the hakama 7. Step 2-2: The user pushes the tray 3 inserted into the hakama 7 downward in Fig. 1(a). As a result, the protrusion 22a of the extension part 22 of the tray 3 gets over the protrusion 15a of the tray guide part 15 of the spiral member 9. At this time, similar to the above-mentioned Step 1-2, the protrusion 22a is positioned on the inclined part 15b between the protrusion 15a of the tray guide part 15 of the spiral member 9 and the spiral groove forming part 16 as shown in Fig. 1(b). In this state, even if the user turns the hakama 7 upside down, the protrusion 22a is caught by the protrusion 15a, so that the tray 3 can be prevented from accidentally falling out of the hakama 7.

[0035] Also, as described in the above-mentioned Step 1-3, by forming the large-diameter part 18 on the inner peripheral surface of the spacer 10 and providing a space between the tray guide part 15 and the spacer 10, when the protrusion 22a of the extension part 22 of the tray 3 gets over the protrusion 15a of the tray guide part 15 of the spiral member 9, the elastic deformation of the extension part 22 in the radially outer direction becomes possible.

[0036] Step 2-3: The user holds the tray 3 exposed from the hakama 7 and rotates the handle 8 while pushing it downward in Fig. 1(a). As a result, the protrusion 22a of the extension part 22 of the tray 3 is guided by the inclined surface 15b of the tray guide part 15 of the spiral member 9 and enters the spiral groove 16a of the spiral groove forming part 16. Thereby, the attachment operation of the cosmetic body 4 to the hakama 7 is completed.

[0037] In this Step 2-3, when the tray 3 is inserted between the small-diameter part 19 of the spacer 10 and the spiral groove forming part 16 of the spiral member 9, the lower end part and the extension part 22 on the lower side in Fig. 1(a) of the tray 3 are guided by the inclined part 20 of the spacer 10. Therefore, the user can insert the tray 3 more smoothly between the spacer 10 and the spiral member 9.

[0038] According to the above steps, when the user has used up the cosmetic 2 of the cosmetic body 4, the user can easily attach a new cosmetic body 4 to the hakama 7. Also, since the user can hold the tray 3 and easily perform the attachment operation, it is possible to prevent the user's hand from coming into contact with the cosmetic 2 and damaging the cosmetic 2 or soiling the hand.

[0039] As described above, the user can easily replace the emptied cosmetic body 4 of the cosmetic 2 with a new cosmetic body 4. Although plastic is used as the material for components other than the cosmetic 2 in the cosmetic body 4 and the cosmetic dispensing container 5 as described above, the material of each component is not limited to this, and other materials such as metals may be appropriately adopted.

[0040] The cosmetic dispensing container 5 is configured to include the spacer 10 within the skirt 7 as described above. By separating the skirt 7 and the spacer 10 in this way, the skirt 7 and the spacer 10 can be accurately and easily manufactured by injection molding. However, it is not limited to this, and the skirt 7 and the spacer 10 may be integrated, that is, a configuration similar to the large-diameter portion 18, the small-diameter portion 19, and the inclined portion 20 of the spacer 10 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 12 of the skirt 7.

[0041] Due to the provision of the inclined portion 20 on the spacer 10 in the cosmetic dispensing container 5 as described above, in the above procedure 2-3, the end portion and the extending portion 22 on the lower side of the tray 3 in FIG. 1(a) are guided by the inclined portion 20 of the spacer 10 and can be smoothly inserted between the spacer 10 and the spiral member 9. In addition to such a configuration, the outer peripheral surface of the end portion and the tip of the extending portion 22 on the lower side of the tray 3 in FIG. 1(a) may be an inclined surface whose outer diameter decreases toward the outside in the central axis direction, so as to further exhibit such an effect. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the end portion and the tip of the extending portion 22 on the lower side of the tray 3 in FIG. 1(a) may be an inclined surface, and the inclined portion 20 of the spacer 10 may be omitted, that is, the boundary portion between the large-diameter portion 18 and the small-diameter portion 19 of the spacer 10 may be a stepped portion to achieve an effect similar to the above effect.

[0042] When the user rotates the handle 8 to expose the cosmetic 2 from the skirt 7 or to retract it into the skirt 7, i.e., when moving the tray 3 in the central axis direction, the small-diameter portion 19 of the spacer 10 presses against the outer peripheral surface of the tray 3 so that the tray 3 does not rotate. The cosmetic dispensing container 5 is not limited to this configuration, and may be configured such that the outer peripheral surface of the tray 3 is provided with a protrusion extending in the central axis direction, and the inner peripheral surfaces of the small-diameter portion 11 of the skirt 7 and the small-diameter portion 19 of the spacer 10 are provided with groove portions extending in the central axis direction that fit with the protrusion. With this configuration, it is possible to more reliably prevent the rotation of the tray 3 while allowing the tray 3 to move in the central axis direction.

[0043] In the above procedures 1-3 and 2-2, the ease of the protrusion 22a of the extending portion 22 of the tray 3 overcoming the protrusion 15a of the tray guiding portion 15 of the spiral member 9 depends on the ease of the extending portion 22 deforming radially outward (easiness of bending). Therefore, the form of the extending portion 22 is not limited to that described above, and for example, the ease of deformation of the extending portion 22 may be adjusted by changing the size and shape of the extending portion 22, the slits 21a and 21b, the size of the protrusion 22a, the material of the tray 3, etc. As described above, two extending portions 22 are provided on the tray 3, but the number of extending portions 22 is not limited to this. The number of extending portions 22 may be one or three or more, and correspondingly, the number of spiral grooves 16a of the spiral member 9 may be one or three or more.

[0044] Here, as described above, in a conventional dispensing container in which the cosmetic can be replaced, when replacing the cosmetic, it is necessary to discard the entire dispensing mechanism that holds the cosmetic, and only some parts of the cosmetic dispensing container can be continuously used. And since the discarded dispensing mechanism is composed of plastics or metals of different materials, it is difficult to separate them during disposal and recycling, which has been a problem from the viewpoints of resource saving and environmental consideration. Also, such problems are more prominent in a conventional dispensing container in which the cosmetic cannot be replaced because the entire container needs to be discarded when the cosmetic is used up.

[0045] In contrast, in the cosmetic delivery container set 1 according to this embodiment, only a part of the old tray 3 is discarded when the cosmetic body 4 is replaced. Therefore, separate disposal and recycling are easy, and the components other than the tray 3 can be continuously used like a fountain pen or a ballpoint pen. For this reason, the discharge of plastic and metal waste can be minimized, contributing to the reduction of global warming, the depletion of oil resources, and ocean pollution. Therefore, the cosmetic delivery container set 1 can contribute particularly to Reduce and Reuse in the concept of 4R, namely Refuse (generation avoidance), Reduce (discharge suppression), Reuse (reuse), and Recycle (resource recovery), and can also contribute to the ethical consumption of users.

[0046] Moreover, since the cosmetic body 4 is composed of only the cosmetic 2 and the tray 3, a dramatic cost reduction can be achieved. Thereby, it can contribute to reducing the economic burden on the user when replacing the cosmetic body 4.

[0047] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to realize an environmentally friendly cosmetic delivery container 5 with a small number of parts to be discarded when replacing the cosmetic 2, a cosmetic body 4 suitable for replacement for the cosmetic delivery container 5, and a cosmetic delivery container set 1 composed of the cosmetic delivery container 5 and the cosmetic body 4.
