Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container with an applicator, and relates to a hair dye container with an applicator that includes a container body for containing a hair dye, a hair dye applicator for applying the hair dye that can be inserted into the container body, and a cap to which the hair dye applicator is attached. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, a compounding package (compounding container) has been known which comprises a main body containing a compounding agent such as a fluid cosmetic compounding agent, and an applicator (applicator) which is removably attached to the main body (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In the compound package including this applicator, the applicator has a gripping portion that is held by a user and an applicator main portion extending from the gripping portion, and the applicator main portion is provided with a compressible portion made of a sponge that enters the main body when the applicator is attached to the main body and is soaked in the compound. In use, the applicator is removed from the main body and the compressible portion is applied to a desired area, such as the user's face, to apply the composition impregnated in the compressible portion.

[0003] However, when the cosmetic composition is a hair dye and long sections of hair are dyed, it is necessary to immerse the compressible portion in the hair dye multiple times, and it is therefore desirable to improve ease of application.

[0004] In order to meet this demand, a hair dye container with an applicator has been proposed and put into practical use, which comprises an axial portion that is connected to a cap, extends axially and enters the inside of the container body, a rotating portion that is inserted around the axial portion and attached so as to be rotatable but immovable in the axial direction, and a cylindrical applicator body that is attached to the rotating portion so as to be rotatable in synchronous with the rotating portion but immovable in the axial direction, for applying the hair dye (see Patent Document 2).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a hair dye container with an applicator of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] 1 to 4 show a hair dye container with an applicator according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This hair dye container with applicator comprises a container body 1 for storing hair dye M, a hair dye applicator 2 for applying hair dye M which is insertable into the container body 1, a cap 3 to which the hair dye applicator 2 is attached, and a handle 4. The hair dye applicator 2 comprises an applicator body 21 having a circular cross-sectional shape for applying hair dye M, and a shaft portion 22 which extends in the axial direction from the applicator body 21 and has one end 22c located inside the cap 3. A shaft 22 rotatably supporting the shaft portion 22 is provided inside the cap 3. A receiving portion 5 is provided.

[0017] Here, the applicator body 21 of the hair dye applicator 2 is made of a sponge (open cell structure) that can be impregnated with the hair dye M, and covers the outer periphery of the other end 22a of the shaft portion 22 and is attached to the middle portion 22b of the shaft portion 22 via a holder 23.

[0018] One end 22c of the shaft portion 22 is formed to have a smaller diameter than the middle portion 22b of the shaft portion 22 and is positioned inside the cap 3, and the supported portion 22d formed on one end 22c of the shaft portion 22 is supported by the shaft support portion 51 of the bearing portion 5 arranged inside the cap 3 and which rotatably supports the shaft portion 22. Here, the diameter of one end 22c of the shaft portion 22 is set to about 2 to 10 mm, preferably 2.5 to 8 mm, and more preferably 3 to 5 mm. As a result, even if the hair dye M penetrates into the bearing portion 5, which is the rotating portion, and solidifies or becomes highly viscous, the solidified state can be eliminated by rotating the applicator body 21 side.

[0019] The shaft support portion 51 of the bearing portion 5 is formed into a cap structure that is fitted into a cylindrical portion 52 formed so as to hang down from the inner top surface of the cap 3, and is provided with a plurality of spring pieces 51a (in this embodiment, the structure is divided into four parts by inserting slits, but the number of parts is not limited as long as it is two or more parts). As shown in Figure 3, when one end 22c of the shaft portion 22 is inserted into the spring piece 51a of the shaft support portion 51 of the bearing portion 5, the spring piece 51a opens and the tip of the spring piece 51a can support the supported portion 22d formed on one end 22c of the shaft portion 22.

[0020] Here, the shaft support portion 51 of the bearing portion 5 can be configured with a support portion 51b that does not have spring properties, as in the second embodiment of the hair dye container with an applicator of the present invention shown in FIG. 5(a). In this case, one end 22c of the shaft portion 22 is manufactured from a separate member, and during assembly, one end 22c of the shaft portion 22 is attached to the middle portion 22b of the shaft portion 22 with one end of the supporting portion 51b supporting the supported portion 22d formed at one end 22c of the shaft portion 22. This makes it possible to prevent the hair dye M from entering into the cylindrical portion 52 to which the shaft support portion 51 having a cap structure is fitted.

[0021] In addition, the shaft support portion 51 of the bearing portion 5 can also be configured with a support portion 51c having an undercut structure formed at the lower end portion of the cylindrical portion 52 formed so as to hang down from the inner top surface of the cap 3, as in the third embodiment of the hair dye container with applicator of the present invention shown in Figure 5 (b). The support portion 51c of the bearing portion 5 is configured so that the one end portion 22c of the shaft portion 22 is inserted into the support portion 51c, thereby enabling the support portion 51c to support the supported portion 22d formed on the one end portion 22c of the shaft portion 22.

[0022] Furthermore, one end 22e of the shaft portion 22 is supported by a pivot bearing portion 53 formed on the inner top surface of the cap 3, thereby supporting the shaft portion 22 so as to be immovable in the axial direction.

[0023] According to this hair dye container with applicator, the hair dye applicator 2 comprises an applicator body 21 having a circular cross-sectional shape for applying the hair dye M, and an axis portion 22 extending axially from the applicator body 21 with one end portion 22c located inside the cap 3, and a bearing portion 5 for rotatably supporting the axis portion 22 is disposed inside the cap 3. This has the advantage that the hair dye M can be easily applied over a long range of the hair, improving usability, while preventing the hair dye M from penetrating the bearing portion 5, which is the rotating part, and solidifying or becoming highly viscous, thereby preventing the applicator body 21 from ceasing to rotate or becoming difficult to rotate, and the rotation performance of the applicator body 21 can be maintained at a good level.

[0024] Furthermore, by making the bearing portion 5 include an axial support portion that supports the supported portion formed on the axial portion, and further making the axial support portion 51 include a plurality of spring pieces 51a, the structure of the bearing portion that rotatably supports the applicator body is simple, and assembly work can be easily performed.

[0025] The above describes the hair dye container with applicator of the present invention based on its embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and the configuration can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the spirit of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]

[0026] The hair dye container with applicator of the present invention has the advantage of being able to easily apply hair dye over long areas of hair, thereby increasing ease of use, without reducing the rotational performance of the applicator body, and the bearing part that rotatably supports the applicator body has a simple structure and can be easily assembled, making it ideal for use as a hair dye container with applicator used to dye long areas of hair in partial sections when the cosmetic composition is a hair dye.
