Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic container for holding bulk and a method for dispensing bulk. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, bulk products are stored in a cosmetic container, which includes a container body B that holds a bulk product A so that it protrudes, and a cap C that fits over the container body B to store the bulk product A, as shown in Figure 17.

[0003] The container body B has a cylindrical shape, and a holding part E with a hole D is disposed on the upper side of the container body B, and a bottom part F is fitted into the lower side of the container body B. The cap C also has a lower opening that fits into the container body B when storing the bulk A.

[0004] Bulk A is a cosmetic such as hair wax, and is held in container body B via holding portion E. It comprises a main bulk layer a that protrudes outward from container body B, an inner bulk layer b that is formed below main bulk layer a and is positioned in hole D of holding portion E, and a lower bulk layer c that is positioned below inner bulk layer b and covers the underside of holding portion E.

[0005] When using the bulk A, the cap C is removed from the container body B, and the bulk A is used with the container body B as a gripping portion.

[0006] When the bulk A is molded into the container body B, the container body B does not have a bottom F, and the liquid bulk is filled from the outside toward the holding part E, after which it is cooled and solidified to form the container body B. The bottom F is then fitted into the container body B so that the lower bulk layer c on the holding part side and the holding part E are not exposed to the outside.

[0007] Incidentally, examples of documents that describe such cosmetic containers include Patent Document 1 below. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-66241 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] However, when the bulk A is used to the last bit, the retaining part E is exposed and a portion of the bulk A (inner bulk layer b) remains in the hole D of the retaining part E, as shown in Figures 19 and 20, which causes consumers to feel that it is a waste to have the portion of the bulk A remaining in the hole D of the retaining part E. Also, some consumers have resorted to forcibly removing the inner bulk layer b remaining in the hole D of the retaining part E with a thin object, which has resulted in a great deal of effort when removing the inner bulk layer b.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] A first example of a cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Figure 1 shows the concept of a first example of the configuration of a cosmetic container of the present invention. The cosmetic container comprises a plastic container body 2 that holds a bulk 1 so that it protrudes, and a plastic cap 3 that fits over the container body 2 to store the bulk 1.

[0021] The container body 2 has a cylindrical shape, with a holding part 4 disposed on the upper side of the container body 2 and a bottom part 5 disposed on the lower side of the container body 2. As in the conventional example, the cap 3 has a lower opening that fits into the container body 2 when storing the bulk 1.

[0022] The holding portion 4 of the container body 2 is located above the container body 2 so as to leave the upper end periphery of the container body 2, and is located on the inner diameter surface so as to cover the inner diameter of the container body 2. The holding portion 4 is a disk-shaped plate material integrally molded with the container body 2, and has a plurality of holes 6 formed from the top surface to the bottom surface.

[0023] The bulk 1 is a cosmetic such as hair wax with a melting point of 80°C or less and is designed to be usable at room temperature. The bulk 1 comprises a cylindrical main bulk layer 7 that protrudes outward from the top surface of the retaining portion 4 so as to be positioned above the container body 2; an inner bulk layer 8 formed below the main bulk layer 7 and positioned in the hole 6 of the retaining portion 4; and a lower bulk layer 9 that is positioned below the inner bulk layer 8 and forms a thin layer covering the bottom surface of the retaining portion 4. The bulk 1 is held in the container body 2 via the retaining portion 4. Here, the bulk 1 is not limited to a cosmetic such as hair wax, but may be other cosmetic or chemical materials, and the melting point of the bulk 1 may be outside the range of 80°C or less. The shapes of the main bulk layer 7 and the lower bulk layer 9 are not particularly limited, as long as the inner bulk layer 8 remains in the hole 6 of the retaining portion 4. The main bulk layer 7 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, but may be other shapes such as a prism or lipstick, or may be filled only inside the container body 2.

[0024] The bottom 5 of the container body 2 is located below the container body 2, spaced at a distance of 0.1 mm to 50 mm from the retaining portion 4 and the lower bulk layer 9, and is located on the inner diameter surface so as to cover the inner diameter of the container body 2. The bottom 5 is a sealing body made of a single material such as aluminum, paper, or plastic, or a composite material, and is configured to be removable or releasable from the container body 2 using at least one of peeling, bending, pushing off, pushing and tearing, rotating and pulling. Furthermore, the shape of the sealing body bottom 5 is not particularly limited as long as it is located in a predetermined position in the container body 2.

[0025] The bottom 5 is attached using methods such as solvent welding, which melts the surface of the adherend with a solvent to bond it, ultrasonic bonding, which generates frictional heat to weld specific parts of the adherend, chemical reaction bonding using adhesive, dry-hardening bonding using adhesive, pressure-sensitive bonding using adhesive such as adhesive tape or labels, etc. Here, heat welding that exceeds the melting point of the bulk 1, hot melt type bonding such as hot melt, and attachment methods that change the physical properties, composition, or shape of the bulk 1 are not preferred.

[0026] The bottom 5 may have 1 to 10 gripping portions 10 along the inner circumferential direction of the bottom 5, and the gripping portions 10 have a height of 3 mm or more and 20 mm or less and an area of ​​2 mm 2 More than 30mm 2 It has the following configuration: The ingredients of the cosmetic, precautions, and the procedure for removing the bottom 5 may be written directly on the lower surface of the bottom 5, or may be written using an adhesive sticker or the like.

[0027] 4, the bottom 5 of the container body 2 may be a disk-shaped plate made of plastic, a disk-shaped plate made of cardboard or other materials, or a disk-shaped plate integrally formed with the container body 2, instead of a seal made of a single material such as aluminum, paper, or plastic, as shown in FIG. 4. When the bottom 5 is a plate, it is configured to be removable or releasable from the container body 2 by at least one of bending, pushing off, pushing and tearing, rotating and pulling out. Furthermore, the plate-shaped bottom 5 is not limited to a disk shape, and there are no particular limitations on its shape as long as it is positioned in a predetermined position on the container body 2.

[0028] Next, the process of forming the bulk material 1 and attaching the bottom 5 will be described. First, a liquid bulk material (e.g., hair wax) melted by heat is filled into the inverted container body 2, cooled, and solidified to form the main bulk layer 7, inner bulk layer 8, and lower bulk layer 9. Next, the bottom 5 of the seal body is attached to the container body 2, so that the lower bulk layer 9 and the retaining portion 4 are not visible. If the order of the process were reversed, such as attaching the bottom 5 of the seal body to the container body 2 first and then filling the container body 2 with a liquid bulk material (e.g., hair wax), the oily bulk material 1 would come into contact with the sealing portion of the bottom 5, affecting the seal strength. Furthermore, since the bottom 5 bears the weight of the liquid bulk, there are problems such as the possibility of peeling or removal of the sealing portion of the bottom 5, and the bottom 5 of the seal body would bend during filling, resulting in an unstable filling volume.

[0029] A first example of a bulk extraction method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0030] When using the bulk cosmetic container 1, the cap 3 is removed from the container body 2, and the container body 2 is used as a gripping portion to use the main bulk layer 7. After use, when the main bulk layer 7 is used up to the last drop, the retaining portion 4 and the inner bulk layer 8 are exposed.

[0031] 2, the gripping portion 10 of the bottom 5 is pinched, and the bottom 5 of the seal body is peeled off to completely remove it from the container body 2, exposing the space on the holding portion side of the container body 2 and making the lower bulk layer 9 visible from the bottom side of the container body 2. Here, depending on the configuration of the bottom 5, the bottom side of the container body 2 may be opened by at least one of bending, pushing off, pushing and tearing, rotating and pulling out the bottom 5 of the seal body, thereby exposing the space on the holding portion side of the container body 2.

[0032] Furthermore, if the bottom 5 does not have a tab 10, the bottom 5 of the sealed body can be removed from the container body 2 by at least one of bending, pushing off, pushing torn, rotating to remove, and pulling to remove, exposing the space on the holding part side of the container body 2 and making the lower bulk layer visible from the bottom side of the container body 2. Here, bending or pushing to remove the bottom 5 of the sealed body may be performed to open the bottom side of the container body 2 without removing it.

[0033] 3, the inner bulk layer 8 in the holder is pushed downward, and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are removed from the holder 4 and the container body 2. The inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 can then be used separately.

[0034] As described above, the first example of the cosmetic container of the present invention is a cosmetic container comprising a container body 2 for holding a bulk 1, wherein the container body 2 comprises a holding section 4 located on the upper side of the container body 2 and having an opening 6, and a bottom 5 located on the lower side of the container body 2, the bulk 1 comprises a main bulk layer 7 located on the upper side of the container body 2 and an inner bulk layer 8 formed below the main bulk layer 7 and located in the opening 6 of the holding section 4, the bottom 5 being configured to be removable or openable from the container body 2 to expose the space on the holding section side, and configured so that after the space on the holding section side is exposed, the inner bulk layer 8 remaining in the opening 6 of the holding section 4 can be pushed out from the container body 2 and the holding section 4. Thus, according to the first example of the cosmetic container and the first example of the bulk removal method, the portion of the bulk 1 (inner bulk layer 8) remaining in the opening 6 of the holding section 4 and the lower bulk layer 9 can be easily removed, and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 can be used. Furthermore, since the inner bulk layer 8 remaining in the hole 6 of the holding portion 4 can be easily removed, consumers will not feel that the portion of the bulk 1 (inner bulk layer 8) remaining in the hole 6 of the holding portion 4 is a waste. Also, there is no need to forcefully remove the inner bulk layer 8 from the hole 6 of the holding portion 4 using a thin object, which reduces the effort required to remove the inner bulk layer b. Furthermore, with the conventional container body B, it was impossible to remove all of the lower bulk layer c, but with the first example of the cosmetic container and the first example of the bulk removal method, the lower bulk layer 9 can be easily removed at the same time as pushing out the inner bulk layer 8.

[0035] In the cosmetic container of the present invention, the bottom 5 is a sealed body and is configured to be removable or openable from the container body 2 by at least one of peeling, bending, pushing off, pushing torn, rotating out, and pulling out, which easily exposes the space on the holding portion side, allowing the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 to be appropriately pushed out of the container body 2 and used.

[0036] In the cosmetic container of the present invention, the bottom 5 is made of a plate material and is configured to be removable or openable from the container body 2 by at least one of bending, pushing off, pushing to break, rotating out, and pulling out, which easily exposes the space on the holding portion side, allowing the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 to be appropriately pushed out of the container body 2 and used.

[0037] In the cosmetic container of the present invention, if the bottom part 5 is provided with a knob 10 so that it can be removed or opened from the container body 2, the bottom part 5 can be easily handled.

[0038] When the bottom 5 is positioned below the container body 2 so as to be spaced 0.1 mm or more and 50 mm or less from the retaining portion 4 and the lower bulk layer 9, the bottom 5 and the lower bulk layer 9 do not come into contact with each other, and deterioration of the bottom 5 and the lower bulk layer 9 can be prevented. Here, if the bottom 5 is located less than 0.1 mm from the retaining portion 4 and the lower bulk layer 9, there is a problem in that the bottom 5 and the lower bulk layer 9 are more likely to come into contact with each other. On the other hand, if the bottom 5 is located more than 50 mm from the retaining portion 4 and the lower bulk layer 9, there is a problem in that the distance between the bottom 5 and the lower bulk layer 9 becomes too large, which increases the size of the container body 2 and results in deterioration of portability, gripping ability, and usability.

[0039] A second example of the bulk extraction method according to the embodiment of the present invention will now be described.

[0040] 5 to 9 show a second example of the bulk removal method of the present invention, in which, after the main bulk layer 7 is used up to the end, the bottom 5 is removed from the container body 2 as in the first example, and prepared as the old container body 2. At the same time, a new container body 2 is prepared with the new bulk 1 exposed. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the old container body 2 is placed over the new container body 2. Here, the bulk 1 of the new container body 2 does not have to be completely new, and may be one that is in the middle of use.

[0041] Next, as shown in Figure 6, the inner bulk layer 8 within the retaining portion of the old container body 2 is pushed from top to bottom, and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are removed from the old container body 2, and as shown in Figure 7, the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are dropped onto the upper surface of the main bulk layer 7 of the new container body 2 and attached thereto.

[0042] Next, as shown in Fig. 8, the old container body 2 is removed from the new container body 2, and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are made available on top of the new main bulk layer 7. It is preferable to press the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 from above to tightly contact the new main bulk layer 7 with the old inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9. It is also preferable to cover the new container body 2 with the cap 3 as shown in Fig. 9 before storing it.

[0043] As described above, according to the second example of the bulk removal method, the inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9 of the old container body 2 are pushed out from the holding portion 4 and attached to the main bulk layer 7 of the new container body 2, so that the inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9 of the old container body 2 can be used without waste. Also, the inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9 of the old container body 2 can be used in the same way as when the main bulk layer 7 is normally used.

[0044] A second example of a cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Figure 10 shows a second example of the configuration of a cosmetic container of the present invention, in which the shape of the hole 6 (see Figure 1) in the holding portion 4 of the first example has been changed. In the second example, the holding portion 11 has multiple arc-shaped holes 12 (three in Figure 10) along the circumferential direction, and the inner bulk layer 8 is located in the arc-shaped holes 12 of the holding portion 11. The second example has the same configuration as the first example, except for the holding portion 11 and the inner bulk layer 8.

[0046] 11 and 12 show a third example of a bulk removal method when using the second example of the cosmetic container. After the main bulk layer 7 is used up to the end, the bottom 5 is removed from the container body 2 as in the first example. Next, the inner bulk layer 8 in the holding portion of the container body 2 is pushed downward from above, and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are removed from the container body 2. Next, the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are inverted and placed on the top surface of the holding portion 11, and the arc-shaped convex portion of the inner bulk layer 8 is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 12 of the holding portion 11 and tightly adhered. After this, the lower bulk layer 9 is positioned on the top surface of the holding portion 11 and is ready for use as usual.

[0047] 13, the new container body 2 may have a stepped notch 13 in the circumferential direction (upper side) of the upper end of the main bulk layer 7, and the shape of the notch 13 may correspond to the shape of the inner bulk layer 8 located in the hole 12 of the retaining portion 11. In this case, after the main bulk layer 7 of the old container body 2 is used up to the last and removed from the old container body 2, the inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9 can be turned upside down and placed on top of the bulk 1 of the new container body 2, and the arc-shaped convex portion of the inner bulk layer 8 can be inserted into the notch 13 of the main bulk layer 7 to ensure close contact.

[0048] As described above, according to the second example of the cosmetic container and the third example of the bulk dispensing method, the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 removed from the container body 2 can be inverted and tightly attached to the holding portion 11 of the container body 2 or the bulk 1 of a new container body 2, making the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 easy to use. Furthermore, since the holding portion 11 is provided with the arc-shaped hole 12 and the inner bulk layer 8 has a convex arc, when the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are placed in the holding portion 11 of the container body 2, the convex portion of the inner bulk layer 8 can be inserted into the hole 12 of the holding portion 11, ensuring stable adhesion. Furthermore, when the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are placed in the bulk 1 of a new container body 2, stable adhesion can be achieved in a similar manner. Furthermore, the second example of the cosmetic container and the third example of the bulk dispensing method can achieve the same effects as the first example of the cosmetic container and the first and second examples of the bulk dispensing method.

[0049] A third example of a cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] 14 shows a third example of the configuration of a cosmetic container of the present invention, in which the shape of the bulk 1 has been changed from that of the second example of the cosmetic container. In the third example of the cosmetic container, as in the second example, the holding portion 11 has a plurality of arc-shaped holes 12 along the circumferential direction, and the inner bulk layer 8 is positioned in the arc-shaped holes 12 of the holding portion 11. In addition, the third example of the cosmetic container has a stepped notch 13 in the circumferential direction (upper side) of the upper end of the main bulk layer 7, and a stepped notch 14 in the circumferential direction (lower side) of the lower end of the lower bulk layer 9. Furthermore, the third example of the cosmetic container has the same configuration as the second example of the cosmetic container except for the holding portion 11 and the bulk.

[0051] 15 and 16 show a fourth example of a bulk removal method when using a cosmetic container. After the main bulk layer 7 is used up to the end, the bottom 5 is removed from the container body 2 as in the first example. Next, the inner bulk layer 8 in the holding portion of the container body 2 is pushed downward, and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are removed from the container body 2. Next, the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are turned upside down and placed on the top surface of the holding portion 11, and the convex portion of the inner bulk layer 8 is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 12 of the holding portion 11 to ensure close contact.

[0052] Then, the other inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9 removed from the other container body 2 are turned upside down and placed on top of the previous lower bulk layer 9, and the convex portion of the other inner bulk layer 8 is inserted into the notch 14 of the previous lower bulk layer 9 to ensure close contact. This process is repeated with the other inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9, and the inner bulk layer 8 and lower bulk layer 9 are stacked together. After this, the container is ready for use in the normal manner.

[0053] As described above, according to the third example of the cosmetic container and the fourth example of the bulk dispensing method, the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 removed from the container body 2 are turned upside down and the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 are stacked, so that the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 can be used without waste. In addition, stacking the inner bulk layer 8 and the lower bulk layer 9 forms a tall layer that can be used in the same way as the main bulk layer 7. Furthermore, the third example of the cosmetic container and the fourth example of the bulk dispensing method can achieve the same effects as the first and second examples of the cosmetic container and the first to third examples of the bulk dispensing method.

[0054] The cosmetic container and bulk dispensing method of the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
