Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a container for a flowable cosmetic material. [Background technology]

[0002] A combination of a long, narrow, bottomed container and a rod-shaped applicator that can be inserted and removed through an opening of the bottomed container is known as a container for fluid cosmetics such as mascara and lip gloss. The rod-shaped applicator has a brush-shaped, sponge-shaped, or other applicator part at its tip, and when using the fluid cosmetic, the tip applicator is soaked in the fluid cosmetic inside the bottomed container, the rod-shaped applicator is removed from the bottomed container, and the cosmetic is applied to the desired target.

[0003] It is also known that a squeezing part is provided inside the storage container to squeeze out excess cosmetic material adhering to the application tip. In recent years, various improvements have been made to the squeezing part to prevent a phenomenon in which the pressure inside the container increases when the stick-shaped applicator is inserted into the bottomed container, pushing the stick-shaped applicator back (pump-up phenomenon).

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a configuration in which an elastically deformable ring-shaped squeezing piece through which the rod part of an applicator is inserted is provided inside the container body, and a protrusion is provided on the inner periphery of the squeezing piece that protrudes inward from the inner edge of the squeezing piece. In this configuration, when the applicator is inserted into the container body, the protrusion is pressed down by the rod part of the applicator, and the squeezing piece is elastically deformed so as to be turned down in the axial direction. As a result, a gap is formed between the squeezing piece and the outer periphery of the rod part of the applicator, and pressure can be released through this gap.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-259545 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in a configuration with an annular squeezing piece as described in Patent Document 1, depending on the material of the squeezing piece, sufficient elastic deformation may not occur. In that case, a gap may not be formed between the squeezing piece and the rod part of the applicator, and the pump-up phenomenon may not be sufficiently prevented. Therefore, a configuration that can more reliably prevent an excessive pressure increase in the container when the applicator is inserted is required.

[0007] An object of one aspect of the present invention is to provide a squeezing part that can more reliably prevent an excessive increase in pressure inside a container when an applicator is inserted. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention is a container for fluid cosmetics to be used in combination with a stick-shaped applicator, comprising a bottomed container body with an opening at the top, and a squeezing part provided inside the bottomed container body and into which the tip application part of the stick-shaped applicator can be inserted, the squeezing part has a cylindrical part and one or more squeezing pieces protruding inward from the cylindrical part, the bottomed container body and the squeezing part are integrally molded, and gaps are formed between the multiple squeezing pieces, or between the squeezing piece and the tubular part, connecting the bottom side and the opening side of the bottomed container body. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to one aspect, it is possible to provide a squeezing part that can more reliably prevent an excessive increase in pressure inside the container when the applicator is inserted. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] First Embodiment A first embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a fluid cosmetic container 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, together with a stick-shaped applicator 55. As shown in Fig. 1, a fluid cosmetic container 100 in this embodiment has a long, slender, bottomed, cylindrical container body 102 that contains a fluid cosmetic C, and a squeezing part 110 formed inside the bottomed container body 102. Fig. 1 shows a cross-section taken along a plane including an axis AL of the cylindrical container 100 for the fluid cosmetic material.

[0012] An opening 109 is formed on the upper side (opposite the bottom surface) of bottomed container body 102, and stick-shaped applicator 55 can be inserted (inserted and removed) through this opening 109. Stick-shaped applicator 55 has stick body 56, and a tip application part 58 in the form of a brush, sponge, tip or spatula is formed at the tip of the stick-shaped applicator. In the example of FIG. 1, tip application part 58 is a brush, and the diameter of tip application part 58 is larger than the diameter of stick body 56. Stick-shaped applicator 55 may be attached to cap 51 or integrated with cap 51 to constitute capped stick-shaped applicator 50.

[0013] The bottomed container body 102 includes a cosmetic storage section 103 in which a fluid cosmetic is stored, and a neck section 106 formed on the upper part of the cosmetic storage section 103 and having an outer diameter and / or inner diameter smaller than that of the cosmetic storage section 103. The outer peripheral surface of the neck section 106 may be formed with, for example, a screw thread so as to screw into a screw thread formed on the inner peripheral surface of the cap 51 of the capped stick-shaped applicator 50. The bottomed container body 102 and the cap 51 may also be capable of engaging with each other by another means such as fitting.

[0014] The fluid cosmetic C contained in the fluid cosmetic container 1 in this embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it has fluidity and can be applied to a target by being attached to the application part at the tip of a stick-shaped applicator, and may be in a form called an emulsion, suspension, gel, cream, etc. Specific examples of cosmetics include mascara, lip gloss, concealer, liquid eye shadow, liquid blush, etc.

[0015] Fig. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the fluid cosmetic container 100 with the capped stick-shaped application tool 50 removed. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view cut along a different cutting plane from the cross-sectional view shown in Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a top view of the fluid cosmetic container 100. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II in Fig. 4.

[0016] 2 to 4, a squeezing part 110 is formed integrally with the bottomed container body 102 inside the bottomed container body 102 of the fluid cosmetic container 100. The squeezing part 110 has a cylindrical part 118 and a plurality of squeezing pieces 112A, 112B, 112C, and 112D (FIG. 4) that protrude inwardly from the cylindrical part 118, more specifically, from an inner peripheral surface 118i of the cylindrical part 118.

[0017] The position in the direction of the axis AL at which the squeezing part 110 is provided in the bottomed container body 102 is not particularly limited. It may be provided in a position close to the opening 109 of the bottomed container body 102, for example, inside the neck part 106, or it may be provided at any position inside the cosmetic storage part 103 of the bottomed container body 102. In that case, a part of the cosmetic storage part 103 and / or the neck part 106 may be the tubular part 118. However, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3, it is preferable that the squeezing part 110 is formed at the transition part from the cosmetic storage part 103 to the neck part 106 of the bottomed container body 102, or from the cosmetic storage part 103 to the neck part 106, because the volume of the squeezing part 110 does not reduce the volume of the cosmetic that can be stored, and the cosmetic can be prevented from scattering outside the opening 109. Furthermore, because the inner diameter of neck portion 106 is smaller than the inner diameter of bottomed container body 102, the inner diameter of the transition portion may be configured to gradually decrease toward the top. In this case, the inner circumferential surface of the transition portion, i.e., inner circumferential surface 118i of tubular portion 118 of squeezing portion 110, may be substantially frustum-shaped. Inner circumferential surface 118i of tubular portion 118 of squeezing portion 110 may be cylindrical, regardless of the position in the direction of axis AL where squeezing portion 110 is provided.

[0018] In the embodiment shown in Figs. 2 to 4, four separate and independent squeezing pieces 112A, 112B, 112C, and 112D (sometimes collectively referred to as the squeezing piece 112) are formed. The number of such independent squeezing pieces may be two or more, but it is preferable that the number of the squeezing pieces is six or less, since this does not complicate the manufacturing process. Each of the squeezing pieces 112 may be a partially annular plate formed over a part of the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 118i of the cylindrical portion 118. The thickness of each of the squeezing pieces 112 gradually decreases from the outer end fixed to the inner peripheral surface 118i to the inner end close to the center (axis line AL) (toward the radially inward direction) (Figs. 2 and 3). Each of the squeezing pieces 112 is inclined so as to descend (approach the bottom surface) as it approaches the radially inward direction, and has a curved plate shape or a part of a hollow cone with a vertex at the bottom. The upper and lower surfaces of the squeezing piece 112 may each have a shape that is a part of a truncated cone whose axis is the axis AL (FIGS. 2 and 3).

[0019] Since the squeezing pieces 112 are separate and not directly connected to each other, each of the squeezing pieces 112 can move more freely. Therefore, the squeezing pieces 112 can be made not only of highly elastic materials such as rubber, but also of materials with relatively low elasticity, providing good flexibility, thereby expanding the range of material choices. In addition, since materials with high rigidity and strength can be used, a sturdy squeezing part 110 with high durability can be produced.

[0020] When the squeezing part 110 is viewed from above (FIG. 4), the squeezing pieces 112A, 112B, 112C, and 112D are each provided over a range that covers a portion of the entire inner circumference of the tubular part 118. In this example, the squeezing pieces 112A, 112B, 112C, and 112D are all in the shape of an annular sector that extends over an angle of 45° or more when viewed from above, and are arranged so as to overlap adjacent squeezing pieces on both sides in the circumferential direction with a space therebetween in the vertical direction. For example, the squeezing piece 112A is arranged so as to overlap the squeezing piece 112B in the vertical direction on one side in the circumferential direction, and to overlap the squeezing piece 112C in the vertical direction on the other side in the circumferential direction.

[0021] In the illustrated example, the angle ranges in top view in which the four squeezing pieces 112A, 112B, 112C, and 112D are provided are all the same, but the angle ranges (sizes) in which the squeezing pieces 112 are provided may be different for one or more of the squeezing pieces. Also, in this example, overlapping portion 114a is formed by the vertical overlapping of squeezing piece 112A and squeezing piece 112B, which are adjacent in the circumferential direction, overlapping portion 114b is formed by the vertical overlapping of squeezing piece 112B and squeezing piece 112C, overlapping portion 114c is formed by the overlapping of squeezing piece 112C and squeezing piece 112D, which are adjacent in the circumferential direction, and overlapping portion 114d is formed by the overlapping of squeezing piece 112D and squeezing piece 112A, which are adjacent in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the ranges of overlapping portions 114a, 114b, 114c, and 114d (sometimes collectively referred to as 114) in a top view may be the same, or one or more of them may be different. The angle range in a top view in which overlapping portion 114 is provided may be, for example, greater than 0° and less than or equal to 15°. When viewed as a whole from above, the multiple squeezing pieces 112A, 112B, 112C, and 112D arranged in this manner form an annular shape that extends without gaps along inner circumferential surface 118i of cylindrical portion 118. An insertion hole (central hole) 117 through which rod-shaped applicator 55 can be inserted and removed is formed in the center of squeezing portion 110.

[0022] In this way, each of the squeezing pieces 112 overlaps with an adjacent squeezing piece in the circumferential direction and is spaced apart in the up-down direction. More specifically, the squeezing piece 112A is disposed spaced apart above the adjacent squeezing pieces 112B and 112D. As a result, vertical gaps G1, G1 are formed between the squeezing piece 112A and the squeezing piece 112B, and between the squeezing piece 112A and the squeezing piece 112D, respectively (FIG. 2). Similarly, the squeezing piece 112C (FIG. 3) that faces the squeezing piece 112A across the axis AL is disposed above the adjacent squeezing pieces 112B and 112D, and vertical gaps are formed between the squeezing piece 112C and the squeezing piece 112B, and between the squeezing piece 112C and the squeezing piece 112D, respectively.

[0023] In the overlapping portion 114 between the squeezing pieces 112, the gaps G1, G1 formed by the separation of the two squeezing pieces 112 can become an air passage that vertically connects the bottom side of the bottomed container body 102 to the opening 109 side. This configuration of the present embodiment differs from the conventional configuration in which a gap for venting air is formed by deforming the squeezing piece. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent an increase in pressure inside the fluid cosmetic container 100 when the stick-shaped applicator 55 is pushed through the insertion hole 117 of the squeezing part 110, regardless of the configuration of the stick-shaped applicator 55 (the diameter of the stick-shaped body 56 or the tip application part 58), the diameter of the insertion hole 117 in the squeezing part 110, the material of the squeezing piece 112, etc. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the so-called pump-up phenomenon in which the stick-shaped applicator 55 is pushed back, and it is also possible to prevent the cosmetic from scattering to the outside due to the increased pressure inside the container when the stick-shaped applicator 55 is removed.

[0024] The squeezing pieces 112 may be formed so that there are no overlapping portions 114 in top view, that is, so that the squeezing pieces 112 are in contact with each other or so that there are gaps between the squeezing pieces in top view. However, it is preferable that there are no gaps or that the gaps are small in top view, because at least one of the squeezing pieces 112 can be in contact with the entire circumferential direction of the tip application part 58 when the rod-shaped applicator 55 is pulled out, and therefore the cosmetic can be uniformly handled along the circumferential surface of the tip application part 58. Furthermore, the configuration with the overlapping portions 114 can prevent the fluid cosmetic C from spilling out above the squeezing part 110.

[0025] In this example, the four squeezing pieces 112 of the squeezing unit 110 are arranged such that squeezing piece 112A and squeezing piece 112C face each other across the center (axis line AL) and squeezing piece 112B and squeezing piece D face each other across the center (axis line AL) in top view. The four squeezing pieces 112 are arranged in point symmetry with the axis line AL as the point of symmetry in top view. The four overlapping portions 114 are also arranged in point symmetry with the axis line AL as the point of symmetry in top view. This makes the squeezing effect uniform in the circumferential direction.

[0026] Furthermore, when viewed in the vertical direction, squeezing piece 112A and squeezing piece 112C are arranged on the upper side, and squeezing piece 112B and squeezing piece 112D are arranged on the lower side. In this case, the height (position in the vertical direction) at which squeezing piece 112A is arranged and the height at which squeezing piece 112C is arranged may be the same or different. The height at which squeezing piece 112B is arranged and the height at which squeezing piece 112C is arranged may be the same or different. However, as in the illustrated example, when opposing squeezing pieces 112A and 112C are arranged at the same height, and opposing squeezing pieces 112B and 112D are arranged at the same height, the force applied to rod-shaped applicator 55 from squeezing piece 112 when rod-shaped applicator 55 is inserted or removed through insertion and exit hole 117 can be made more uniform in the circumferential direction, so that rod-shaped applicator 55 is less likely to tilt from axis AL when inserted or removed, making it easier to insert or remove rod-shaped applicator 55.

[0027] Each of the squeezing pieces 112 may be formed horizontally or nearly horizontally, that is, in a direction perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the axis AL. More specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 2, the lower end 112At of the squeezing piece 112A may extend in a direction perpendicular to the axis AL. In that case, when the rod-shaped applicator 55 is pulled out, the tip applicator 58 can contact the lower end of one of the squeezing pieces 112 in a line, so that the direction of the rod-shaped applicator 55 does not deviate significantly from the axis AL, and the rod-shaped applicator 55 can be stably pulled out.

[0028] Furthermore, when the lower ends of two opposing squeezing pieces 112 are positioned at the same vertical position, the stable pulling-out action of rod-shaped applicator 55 can be more reliably achieved. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, it is preferable that squeezing part 110 is configured so that lower end 112Bt of squeezing piece 112B and lower end 112Dt of squeezing piece 112D are positioned at the same vertical position. Similarly, it is preferable that lower end 112At of squeezing piece 112A and the lower end of opposing squeezing piece 112C are configured so that they are positioned at the same vertical position.

[0029] The fluid cosmetic container 100 according to this embodiment can be formed by additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is a modeling method for forming a three-dimensional object by stacking thin layers of material one by one based on three-dimensional model data (3D data), and is also called 3D printing. Examples of additive manufacturing include fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA, DLP), inkjet printing, and powder sintering additive manufacturing, and fused deposition modeling (FDM) is preferably used.

[0030] The container 100 for fluid cosmetics is preferably made of a resin formed by additive manufacturing. Examples of the resin include polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), polyester (PET, PBT), styrene (PS, AS, ABS), nitrile (PAN), polycarbonate (PC), polylactic acid (PLA), etc., and among them, polyamide or polypropylene is preferable.

[0031] When the fluid cosmetic container 100 according to this embodiment is molded by additive manufacturing, a support material is required to support the molded object during molding, depending on the molding method. The support material needs to be removed after the molding process is completed, but depending on the three-dimensional shape of the molded object, the support material may be impossible or difficult to remove. In contrast, in the squeezing unit 110 according to this embodiment, the squeezing pieces 112 are spaced apart at least in the vertical direction, so that the support material can be easily removed or discharged from the gaps G1, G1. From the viewpoint of making it even easier to remove the support material, the squeezing pieces 112 may be spaced apart in the circumferential direction when viewed from above.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the container 100 for fluid cosmetics in which the squeezing part 110 and the bottomed container body 102 are integrally molded, a structure (such as a stopper) for preventing the squeezing part 110 from detaching is not required, and therefore the inner circumferential surface 118i of the tubular part 118 of the squeezing part 110 and the inner circumferential surface of the bottomed container body 102 can be formed continuously and without steps. If there are steps or other irregularities on the inner circumferential surface of the container, the cosmetic will be more likely to adhere and solidify, which may reduce the amount of cosmetic that can be used or may affect the quality of the cosmetic if the solidified cosmetic is mixed in; however, by integrally molding the squeezing part 110 and the bottomed container body 102, such possibilities can be reduced.

[0033] <Second embodiment> Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5 to Fig. 7. Fig. 5 is a partially enlarged view of a cross section of a container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material according to the second embodiment, taken along a plane including the axis line AL, Fig. 6 is a cross section of the container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material taken along a different cut plane from the cross section shown in Fig. 5, and Fig. 7 is a top view of the container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material. Fig. 5 is a cross section taken along line II-II in Fig. 7. Figs. 5 to 7 correspond to Figs. 2 to 4, respectively, shown for explaining the first embodiment.

[0034] 5 to 7, the container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material is shown alone, but like the container 100 for a fluid cosmetic material of the first embodiment, the container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material is used in combination with a stick-shaped applicator 55 or a stick-shaped applicator with a cap 50 (FIG. 1). In the second embodiment, the configuration of the stick-shaped applicator with a cap 50 and the engagement structure with the stick-shaped applicator with a cap 50 are the same as those in the first embodiment. The configuration of the bottomed container body 202 (the configuration of the cosmetic storage section 203 and the neck section 206) in the container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material according to the second embodiment is also the same as that described in the first embodiment. The container 200 for a fluid cosmetic material according to the second embodiment differs from the container 100 for a fluid cosmetic material according to the first embodiment in that the configuration of the squeeze section 210 is different.

[0035] In the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 to 7, a squeezing part 210 is formed integrally with a bottomed container body 202 inside a bottomed container body 202 of a fluid cosmetic container 200. The squeezing part 210 has a cylindrical part 218 and squeezing pieces 212 that protrude inward from the cylindrical part 218.

[0036] The squeezing piece 212 is connected to the lower end of the cylindrical portion 218 and has a continuous ring shape in top view (FIG. 7). The central hole of the ring of the squeezing piece 212 serves as the insertion and exit hole 117 for the rod-shaped applicator 55. The squeezing piece 212 may be in the shape of a substantially hollow cone with an apex on the axis line AL. That is, when viewed in a cross section cut along the axis line AL, the squeezing piece 212 is formed in a shape that slopes downward as it approaches the radially inward side. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the squeezing piece 212 has a predetermined thickness, and is formed so that the thickness gradually decreases as it approaches the center (axis line AL) (as it moves radially inward).

[0037] The cylindrical portion 218 is formed at the transition between the cosmetic storage portion 203 and the neck portion 206, and protrudes downward (towards the bottom surface) within the cosmetic storage portion 203, with the squeezing piece 212 connected to its lower end. The cylindrical portion 218 is not a cylinder with a continuous material in the circumferential direction, and there are portions where there is no material when viewed in the circumferential direction. Such portions where there is no material are gaps G2, G2 that connect the inside and outside of the cylindrical portion 218 in the radial direction. In other words, the cylindrical portion 218 has a plurality of legs 218Pa, 218Pb, 218Pc, 218Pd, 218Pe, ... (which may be collectively referred to simply as legs 218P) extending from the bottomed container body 202 (the cosmetic storage portion 203 and / or the neck portion 206), and these legs 218P are spaced apart from each other. The circumferential distance between the legs 218P is the above-mentioned gap G2, G2 that communicates the inside and outside of the cylindrical portion 218. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the legs 218Pb and 218Pc adjacent to each other are spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and a gap G2 is formed between them. Similarly, the legs 218Pc and 218Pd adjacent to each other are spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and a gap G2 is formed between them. The squeezing piece 212 is connected to the lower ends of the multiple legs 218P, preferably to the lower ends of all of the multiple legs 218P. Thus, in this embodiment, there is only one squeezing piece 212 and no gaps are formed between the squeezing pieces, but a gap is formed between the cylindrical portion 218 and the squeezing piece 212.

[0038] The gaps G2, G2 formed in the tubular portion 218 can serve as air passages connecting the opening side and the bottom side of the squeezing portion 210. Therefore, the squeezing portion itself does not need to be deformed to form the air passages. Therefore, regardless of the configuration of the stick-shaped applicator 55 (the diameter of the stick body 56 or the tip applicator 58), the diameter of the insertion hole 217 in the squeezing portion 210, the material of the squeezing piece 212, etc., it is possible to reliably prevent an increase in pressure inside the fluid cosmetic container 200 when the stick-shaped applicator 55 is pushed through the insertion hole 217 of the squeezing portion 210. This makes it possible to prevent the stick-shaped applicator 55 from being pushed back, that is, the so-called pump-up phenomenon, and also to prevent the cosmetic from scattering to the outside due to the increased pressure inside the container when the stick-shaped applicator 55 is removed.

[0039] The configuration (shape, size) of the legs 218P constituting the cylindrical part 218 is not particularly limited as long as they are spaced apart from each other, but the legs 218P may be plate-shaped with a thickness in the circumferential direction, or may be cylindrical, prismatic, or the like, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. The number of the legs 218P included in the cylindrical part 218 may be preferably about 4 to 10. In addition, it is preferable that the legs 218P are uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction, that is, arranged in point symmetry with respect to a point passing through the axis line AL in a top view (Fig. 7). It is also preferable that the gaps G2, G2, ... formed by the legs 218P are arranged in point symmetry with respect to a point passing through the axis line AL.

[0040] The total area occupied by the portions where leg parts 218P are provided relative to the entire peripheral length of squeezing piece 212 may be preferably 5 to 50%, and more preferably 10 to 40%. This range ensures that gaps G2, G2, ... through which air can pass are formed, and also improves the flexibility of tubular part 218. When the flexibility of tubular part 218 is improved, squeezing piece 212 connected to the lower end of tubular part 218 can move in response to the force from stick-shaped applicator 55, allowing for smooth insertion and removal of stick-shaped applicator 55.

[0041] As described above, the squeezing piece 212 is formed in a continuous ring shape, and the inner peripheral edge of the squeezing piece 212 (the lower end of the squeezing piece 212) is also continuous. Therefore, when the rod-shaped applicator 55 is pulled out, when the tip application portion 58 reaches the squeezing piece 212, the inner peripheral edge of the squeezing piece 212 can contact the tip application portion 58 continuously in the circumferential direction, so that a high squeezing effect can be obtained. Also, the inner peripheral edge of the squeezing piece 212 may be formed so that the height varies depending on the location, but it is preferable that the inner peripheral edge of the squeezing piece 212 is formed at the same height, that is, so that it extends horizontally.

[0042] The material of the fluid cosmetic container 200 according to the second embodiment can be the same as that of the fluid cosmetic container 100 according to the first embodiment. The fluid cosmetic container 200 according to this embodiment can also be formed by additive manufacturing, and has the same advantage as the fluid cosmetic container 100 according to the first embodiment in terms of removal of the support material.
