Sunscreen applicator

Abstract

To provide a sunscreen applicator that can easily apply a sunscreen directly to the skin without soiling the hands. [Solution] A sunscreen applicator (100) comprises a storage container (110) that stores sunscreen (150), an applicator sphere (120) for applying the sunscreen, and a holder (130) that rotatably holds the applicator sphere. The holder has a first opening (132) that partially exposes the applicator sphere to the inside of the storage container so that it can come into contact with the sunscreen stored in the storage container, and a second opening (134) that partially exposes the applicator sphere to the outside.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification discloses technology relating to sunscreen applicators. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, sunscreens are packaged in tubes or pump-type containers. Users apply the sunscreen by taking it from the container with their hands. However, there are problems with using these containers, such as dirtying the hands, difficulty in controlling the amount applied, and difficulty in applying it evenly.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a sunscreen applicator that has both a large-surface applicator for applying a liquid sunscreen and a small-surface applicator for applying a semi-solid stick-shaped sunscreen. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-120632 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The sunscreen applicator of Patent Document 1 has the problem that it is cumbersome and difficult to use because it has to use two different applicator parts. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One form of sunscreen applicator disclosed herein includes a container for storing sunscreen, an applicator sphere for applying the sunscreen, and a holder for rotatably holding the applicator sphere. The holder has a first opening that partially exposes the applicator sphere to the inside of the container so that it can come into contact with the sunscreen stored in the container, and a second opening that partially exposes the applicator sphere to the outside. With this form of sunscreen applicator, the sunscreen is supplied to the surface of the applicator sphere as the applicator sphere rotates, allowing the user to easily apply the sunscreen directly to their skin without getting their hands dirty. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the appearance of a sunscreen applicator. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a sunscreen applicator. [Figure 3] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing how to use a sunscreen applicator. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Fig. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the appearance of a sunscreen applicator 100. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the sunscreen applicator 100. The cross-sectional view of Fig. 2 shows the sunscreen applicator 100 cut along the F2-F2 cross section of Fig. 1.

[0009] The sunscreen applicator 100 is a tool for applying a sunscreen agent 150. The sunscreen applicator 100 comprises a container 110, an applicator ball 120, and a holder .

[0010] The storage container 110 of the sunscreen applicator 100 is a container that stores a liquid sunscreen 150. The storage container 110 has an opening 112 that allows the sunscreen 150 to be put in and taken out. The storage container 110 has a cylindrical shape. The shape of the storage container 110 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be any shape that can store the sunscreen 150.

[0011] The applicator sphere 120 of the sunscreen applicator 100 is a sphere for applying the sunscreen agent 150.

[0012] The holder 130 of the sunscreen applicator 100 is a component that rotatably holds the applicator ball 120. The holder 130 fits into the opening 112 of the storage container 110. The holder 130 has a first opening 132 and a second opening 134.

[0013] The first opening 132 in the holder 130 is a portion that partially exposes the applicator sphere 120 to the inside of the container 110 so that it can come into contact with the sunscreen 150 contained in the container 110 .

[0014] The second opening 134 in the holder 130 is a portion that partially exposes the applicator ball 120 to the outside.

[0015] 3 is an explanatory diagram showing how the sunscreen applicator 100 is used. When using the sunscreen applicator 100, the user grasps the container 110 with their hand and positions the applicator ball 120 so that it faces the direction of gravity. In this state, the user presses the applicator ball 120 against the skin 800 and moves the sunscreen applicator 100 back and forth on the skin 800 so that the applicator ball 120 rolls.

[0016] According to the sunscreen applicator 100 described above, the sunscreen 150 is supplied to the surface of the applicator sphere 120 as the applicator sphere 120 rotates, allowing the user to easily apply the sunscreen 150 directly to the skin 800 without getting their hands dirty.

[0017] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features of the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features of each form described in the Summary of the Invention section can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-described problems or achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Furthermore, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted. [Explanation of symbols]
