Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] <First Embodiment> Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cosmetic tool according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and the outer shape is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape.

[0013] This cosmetic tool 1 has a container 2 for storing a powder cosmetic, and a cylindrical outer lid member 3 detachably attached to the container 2, and a mirror 4 is provided on the top of the outer lid member 3.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the container 2 includes a container body 5 and a frame member 6 detachably attached to the container body 5, and a deformable puff 7 is attached to the upper part of the container 2.

[0015] The frame member 6 includes a large-diameter annular portion 8 and a small-diameter annular portion 9, and the outer lid member 3 is externally fitted to the small-diameter annular portion 9.

[0016] A plurality of protrusions 10 are provided at predetermined intervals on the outer peripheral portion of the small-diameter annular portion 9.

[0017] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, an inner peripheral groove 11 that engages with the protrusion 10 is formed over the entire circumference on the inner peripheral portion of the outer lid member 3, so that the outer lid member 3 is configured not to easily detach from the frame member 6.

[0018] Further, as also shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the container body 5 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape and has a main body opening 12.

[0019] An outer peripheral thread 13 is engraved on the outer periphery of the container body 5 on the side of the main body opening 12.

[0020] On the other hand, internal threads 14 are engraved on the inner circumference of the large-diameter annular portion 8 of the frame member 6.

[0021] Furthermore, the inner circumferential threads 14 of the frame member 6 are screwed into the outer circumferential threads 13 of the container body 5, thereby enabling the frame member 6 to be detachably attached to the container body 5.

[0022] The small-diameter annular portion 9 of the frame member 6 is equipped with an annular flange portion 15 that extends inward, and the container opening 16 of the container 2 is formed in the central part of this flange portion 15.

[0023] Furthermore, an annular projection 17 is formed on this flange portion 15, which engages with the main body opening 12 side of the container body 5.

[0024] Furthermore, when the frame member 6 is attached to the container body 5, the end of the container body 5 on the side of the opening 12 is configured to abut between the small-diameter annular portion 9 and the annular projection 17 of the flange portion 15.

[0025] A cylindrical inner lid member 18, made of an elastically deformable material such as sponge and formed to have a larger diameter than the container opening 16 of container 2, is detachably attached to the container opening 16 so as to close the container opening 16.

[0026] In other words, an outer circumferential groove 19 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner lid member 18, which fits into the flange portion 15.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner lid member 18 is divided into an outer portion 20 located outside the container opening 16 and an inner portion 21 located inside the outer groove 19. The inner portion 21 is elastically deformed to reduce its diameter and inserted into the container body 5 through the container opening 16, causing the outer groove 19 to fit into the flange portion 15.

[0028] The inner lid member 18 has a plurality of discharge holes 22 formed therein for discharging the cosmetic product from inside the container 2.

[0029] The number of these discharge holes 22 is not limited to the nine shown in Figures 4 and 5; it may be one or multiple, such as 25, depending on the amount of cosmetic product to be dispensed.

[0030] Furthermore, the diameter of the discharge holes 22 can be adjusted to match the amount of cosmetic product to be dispensed, and the arrangement pattern of the discharge holes 22 can also be changed in various ways.

[0031] The outer portion 20 of the inner lid member 18 is provided with a puff 7 that covers the inner lid member 18, in order to further uniformly discharge the cosmetic product that has been discharged from the discharge hole 22 to the outside.

[0032] In other words, the puff 7 includes a cap-shaped cap portion 23 that covers the outer portion 20 of the inner lid member 18, and an expandable and contractible peripheral fitting portion 24 provided on the periphery of the cap portion 23 that fits into the outer peripheral groove 19 of the inner lid member 18.

[0033] This peripheral fitting portion 24 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the cap portion 23, and expands when the puff 7 is placed over the outer portion 20 of the inner lid member 18, and contracts when it is fitted into the outer groove 19 of the inner lid member 18.

[0034] With the above configuration, the flange portion 15 of the frame member 6 and the peripheral fitting portion 24 of the puff 7 fit into the outer peripheral groove 19 of the inner lid member 18, making the inner lid member 18 and the puff 7 detachable and difficult to detach.

[0035] In other words, when attaching or detaching the puff 7 to the inner lid member 18, the inner lid member 18 undergoes elastic deformation and the peripheral fitting portion 24 of the puff 7 stretches, making attachment and detachment easy.

[0036] Furthermore, even if an unexpected force is applied in a direction that would cause the puff 7 to detach, the inner lid member 18 will elastically deform together with the puff 7, making it less likely to detach.

[0037] <Second Embodiment> A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0038] Note that components identical to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0039] In this second embodiment, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, a rigid member 26 made of synthetic resin such as plastic is provided between the inner lid member 18 and the puff 7, having a plurality of first discharge holes 25 that guide the cosmetic product discharged from the discharge hole 22 of the inner lid member 18 towards the puff 7.

[0040] Furthermore, an elastic member 28, such as one made of sponge, is provided between the rigid member 26 and the puff 7. This elastic member 28 has a second discharge hole 27 that guides the cosmetic product discharged from the first discharge hole 25 of the rigid member 26 towards the puff 7.

[0041] Even with the above configuration, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved, and moreover, the cosmetic can be discharged to the outside even more uniformly.

[0042] <Third Embodiment> A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0043] Note that components identical to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0044] In this third embodiment, as shown in Figures 8 and 9, a three-dimensional mesh filter 29 is provided between the inner lid member 18 and the puff 7.

[0045] Even with this configuration, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved, and moreover, a space can be secured between the inner lid member 18 and the puff 7, and the three-dimensional mesh structure of the filter 29 is excellent in uniform dispersion of cosmetics, so the cosmetics can be discharged to the outside even more uniformly.

[0046] The thickness of the filter 29 is, for example, formed to be 2 mm to 5 mm, but is not limited to this and can be adjusted in various ways depending on the amount of cosmetic product discharged.

[0047] Furthermore, the mesh size of the filter's 29-dimensional mesh structure can be varied from coarse to fine depending on the application and the amount of cosmetic product being discharged.

[0048] The disclosure relating to the present invention described above can be summarized to at least the following:

[0049] In other words, the cosmetic tool according to the present invention comprises a bottomed cylindrical container having a container opening and containing powdered cosmetics; an elastically deformable inner lid member detachably attached to the container so as to close the container opening and having a discharge hole for discharging the cosmetics contained in the container; a puff covering the inner lid member and further uniformly discharging the cosmetics discharged from the discharge hole to the outside; and an outer lid member detachably attached to the container so as not to expose the puff.
