DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In order to facilitate understanding of the description, the same reference numerals are attached to the same components in each drawing, and duplicated description may be omitted. In addition, the scale of each member in the drawings may differ from the actual one. In Figs. 1 to 11, a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system of three axial directions (X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis) is used, and the longitudinal direction of the spatula is the X-axis direction, the thickness direction is the Y-axis direction, and the short side direction is the Z-axis direction. Note that these three axial directions are for convenience, and for example, in Fig. 1, the positive direction of the Z axis is the upward direction and the negative direction is the downward direction, and Fig. 2 is a plan view and Fig. 3 is a bottom view, but the top and bottom directions may be reversed, and Fig. 2 may be treated as a bottom view and Fig. 3 as a plan view.

[0011] A spatula according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 is a front view of the spatula according to an embodiment, Figure 2 is a plan view of the spatula according to an embodiment, Figure 3 is a bottom view of the spatula according to an embodiment, Figure 4 is a right side view of the spatula according to an embodiment, Figure 5 is a left side view of the spatula according to an embodiment, and Figure 6 is a rear view of the spatula according to an embodiment. Figure 7 is a view showing a II cross section of Figure 2.

[0012] The spatula 1 is a tool for applying a cosmetic or other application material. Hereinafter, a case will be described in which the application material is a cosmetic and the spatula 1 is a spatula for applying the cosmetic. Specifically, for example, when the cosmetic is contained in a wide-mouthed container, the spatula 1 can scoop up the cosmetic and apply it to the skin (the surface to be applied), and when the cosmetic is contained in a tube-shaped container, the cosmetic can be squeezed out of the tube and placed on the spatula to apply it to the skin. As shown in Figs. 1 to 6, the spatula 1 has a gripping part 11, a first application part 12 extending from one side of the gripping part 11 in the longitudinal direction (X-axis direction), and a second application part 13 extending from the other side of the gripping part 11 in the longitudinal direction. In addition, a first identification part 14 is provided on the first application part 12 side, and a second identification part 15 is provided on the second application part 13 side.

[0013] The grip portion 11 is a portion that is gripped by the user, and has a long and thin rod-like shape, and the bottom surface (lower surface) preferably has a flat surface 16 parallel to the XY plane. As shown in FIG. 7, the cross-sectional shape of the grip portion 11 has a flat surface 16 and bulging portions 18, 18 that bulge outward on both sides in the thickness direction (Y-axis direction). Note that the protrusions 17 and the first application portion 12 are omitted in FIG. 7. Furthermore, the thickness gradually decreases from the bulging portions 18, 18 toward the opposite side to the flat surface 16 in the short direction (Z-axis direction), and a rounded tip portion 19 is provided at the end opposite to the flat surface 16 in the short direction. In other words, the cross-sectional shape of the grip portion 11 is a substantially pentagon with rounded corners. Since the grip portion 11 has the bulging portions 18, 18, the user can easily grip the bulging portions 18, 18 with his / her fingers. Furthermore, because the grip portion 11 has the flat surface 16, it is possible to prevent the grip portion 11 from rotating in the gripping fingers, and the user can maintain a grip of the bulging portions 18, 18, allowing for fine application. In particular, the user can apply the product finely with the spatula 1, even to small areas of the face, such as under the eyes. It is also possible to temporarily place the product on a dressing table or table surface with the flat surface 16 facing down.

[0014] The first application part 12 and the second application part 13 have a function of applying the cosmetic, and also have a function of scooping the cosmetic when the cosmetic is contained in a wide-mouthed container, and a function of placing and holding the cosmetic when the cosmetic is contained in a tube-shaped container. As the spatula 1 has two application parts (the first application part 12 and the second application part 13), one spatula 1 can be used for two types of cosmetics (materials to be applied).

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the first and second applicators 12 and 13 have arc-shaped longitudinal edges in a front view, and as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the first and second applicators 12 and 13 have a flat shape with a thickness that decreases toward both longitudinal ends. This structure makes it easy to scoop up the cosmetic with the first and second applicators 12 and 13, and allows the cosmetic to be held on the first and second applicators 12 and 13. Furthermore, when applying the cosmetic to the skin, the cosmetic can be spread thinly and evenly on the skin, allowing fine application. If the cosmetic is applied by mistake to an area other than the desired area, the unnecessary cosmetic can be removed by moving the first or second applicator 12 or 13 that has been wiped off with the cosmetic in contact with the skin. In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the first and second applicators 12 and 13 have skewed shapes (symmetrical with respect to the center line 10), but they may have different shapes.

[0016] The first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 have the function of distinguishing the first applicator part 12 from the second applicator part 13. The first distinguishable part 14 can be provided at any position on the first applicator part 12 side (one side in the longitudinal direction) with respect to the center line 10 of the spatula 1, and the second distinguishable part 15 can be provided at any position on the second applicator part 13 side (the other side in the longitudinal direction) with respect to the center line 10 of the spatula 1. With this configuration, the user can distinguish the first applicator part 12 from the second applicator part 13, and can use the first applicator part 12 and the second applicator part 13 for two types of cosmetics without confusing them. Note that the center line 10 is a convenient reference indicating the central part, and does not necessarily mean a line passing through the center of gravity or centroid of the spatula 1.

[0017] It is preferable that the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 have a protrusion 17 having a ring-like shape. For example, the first distinguishable part 14 has one protrusion 17, and the second distinguishable part 15 has two protrusions 17, 17. This configuration allows the user to distinguish the first applicator part 12 and the second applicator part 13 by both sight and touch, and the first applicator part 12 and the second applicator part 13 can be used more reliably for two types of cosmetics. The shape of the protrusion is not limited to a ring shape and may be any shape, and the number of protrusions may be any number as long as the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 are different. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of protrusions 171 having a circular shape in front view may be provided around the spatula 1. Furthermore, the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have different shapes of the protrusions 17. For example, the first distinguishable part 14 may have a protrusion 17 having a ring shape, and the second distinguishable part 15 may have a configuration in which a plurality of protrusions 171 having a circular shape in front view are provided around the spatula 1. Furthermore, the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have different shapes and numbers of the protrusions 17. In other words, it is preferable that the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 have different numbers and shapes of the protrusions 17.

[0018] The first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have a recess. For example, the first distinguishable part 14 may have one recess, and the second distinguishable part 15 may have two recesses. The shape of the recess may be any shape, and the number of recesses may be any number as long as the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 are different. In addition, the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have different shapes of recesses. The first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have different shapes and numbers of recesses. In other words, the first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have different numbers and shapes of recesses. Furthermore, the first distinguishable part 14 may be a protrusion, and the second distinguishable part 15 may be a recess.

[0019] The first distinguishable portion 14 and the second distinguishable portion 15 may differ in at least one of hue, saturation, and brightness. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, the first distinguishable portion 14 may be a first color 172, and the second distinguishable portion 15 may be a second color 173. When the first distinguishable portion 14 and the second distinguishable portion 15 are formed in different colors, for example, they may be the same color as the cosmetic container, and an applicator having the same color as the cosmetic container may be used.

[0020] The first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may have different characters or symbols, and either the first distinguishable part 14 or the second distinguishable part 15 may have a character or symbol. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, only the first distinguishable part 14 may have an arrow symbol. The character or symbol may be directly written on the spatula 1, may be engraved, or a sticker or the like with the character or symbol may be attached. The first distinguishable part 14 and the second distinguishable part 15 may be configured by combining different types of distinguishable parts. For example, the first distinguishable part 14 may be configured by combining one protrusion 17 and a first color 172, and the second distinguishable part 15 may be configured by combining two protrusions 17, 17 and a second color 173.

[0021] The shape of the spatula 1 is preferably such that the first application part 12 and the second application part 13 are curved relative to the grip part 11. As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the spatula 1 is more preferably such that the first application part 12 and the second application part 13 are curved in the same direction relative to the grip part 11, and the shape when viewed from the front is substantially U-shaped. With this configuration, the first application part 12 or the second application part 13 can be directed upward while holding the grip part 11, so that when applying to a surface to be applied, it is not necessary to tilt the wrist or elbow, and it is possible to easily apply in a posture that puts less strain on the body. In particular, when applying a cosmetic to a narrow area such as an eye bag, it is not necessary to tilt the wrist or elbow, and it is possible to easily apply in a posture that puts less strain on the body.

[0022] In addition, since the first application part 12 and the second application part 13 are curved in the same direction relative to the grip part 11, it is possible to prevent one application part from touching the other application part when using the other application part. Furthermore, when the spatula 1 is placed in the case 2 described later, it can be placed stably. Note that the shape of the spatula 1 may be such that the first application part 12 and the second application part 13 are curved in different directions relative to the grip part 11, and the shape when viewed from the front may be substantially S-shaped, as shown in FIG.

[0023] The material constituting the spatula 1 is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include resin materials, metal materials, wood products, etc. Examples of resin materials that can be used include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), melamine resin, epoxy resin, silicone resin, etc. These resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0024] Metallic materials include iron, aluminum, titanium, tin, silver, copper, and alloys thereof (stainless steel, bronze, brass, etc.) Wood products include wood, paper crafts, etc.

[0025] The method for manufacturing the spatula 1 made of a resin material is not particularly limited, but examples include injection molding, compression molding, cutting, etc. Among these, injection molding is preferable, and in the case of injection molding, by providing a gate on the flat surface 16, the resin can be uniformly and quickly filled into the mold, and the gate mark also becomes the bottom surface, which improves the appearance.

[0026] The method for manufacturing the spatula 1 made of a metal material is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include casting, die casting, investment casting, cutting, etc. The method for manufacturing the spatula 1 made of a wooden product includes cutting from wood, molding using pulp, etc.

[0027] The length of the spatula 1 in the longitudinal direction is not particularly limited, but may be 60 mm to 90 mm, and preferably 65 mm to 85 mm. The length of the spatula 1 in the lateral direction is not particularly limited, but may be 5 mm to 35 mm, and preferably 10 mm to 20 mm. The thickness of the grip part 11 in the II cross section is not particularly limited, but may be 1 mm to 10 mm, and preferably 2 mm to 4 mm. The height of the grip part 11 in the II cross section (length in the Z-axis direction) is not particularly limited, but may be 1 mm to 10 mm, and preferably 2 mm to 4 mm. The width of the first application part 12 and the second application part 13 in the front view shape is not particularly limited, but may be 2 mm to 10 mm, and preferably 4 mm to 6 mm. The length of each part described above is the maximum length of each part. Furthermore, the thickness of the thinnest portion of first application part 12 and second application part 13 is not particularly limited, but can be from 0.1 mm to 2.0 mm, and is preferably from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0028] FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a case on which a spatula can be placed according to an embodiment. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing a spatula according to an embodiment, a case on which the spatula can be placed, and a set of a container with a spatula in use, which is an example of a state in which the spatula is placed on the case and used. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a spatula (not shown), a case on which the spatula can be placed, and a set of a container with a spatula in one embodiment, with a lid placed on them. However, in the example shown in FIG. 14, the spatula is held in any space in the set in which the spatula can be stored. In FIGS. 12 to 14, a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system with three axes (X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction) is used, and the width direction of the case is the X-axis direction, the depth direction is the Y-axis direction, and the height direction is the Z-axis direction.

[0029] A case 2 on which the spatula 1 can be placed will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, the case 2 has a top surface 21 and a side surface 22, and the top surface 21 has two recesses (container recesses) 23, 23 capable of holding two containers for containing cosmetics, and a groove portion 24 capable of holding the spatula 1. In this embodiment, an example in which two container recesses 23 are provided is shown, but for example, one container recess 23 may be provided and a partition may be provided on the bottom surface of the container recess 23 so that two containers can be held. The number of container recesses 23 is not limited to two, and may be any number according to the number of containers as long as at least two containers can be contained.

[0030] The shape of the container recess 23 is not limited to a circle in plan view, but may be a polygon, and may be any shape that matches the shape of the container. In addition to the container recess 23, the case 2 may have a box recess 27 for accommodating a box for storing paper products or the like that are used together with the cosmetic.

[0031] The case 2 has a convex portion 25 protruding outward and a concave portion 26 recessed in the depth direction (Y-axis direction) from the convex portion 25, and a groove portion 24 is provided linearly on the top surface 21 of the convex portion 25. When viewed from the top surface 21 side, one end of the groove portion 24 is located between the convex portion 25 and the concave portion 26. With this configuration, when the spatula 1 is placed on the groove portion 24, the first application portion 12 and the second application portion 13 do not touch the side surface 22 of the case 2. In other words, the spatula 1 is held in the groove portion 24, and the first application portion 12 and the second application portion 13 are separated from the case 2. Therefore, the spatula 1 can be kept hygienic.

[0032] The case 2 can provide a place for the spatula 1, so that the first application part 12 and the second application part 13 do not come into contact with other places such as a desk, and it is possible to prevent other places from getting dirty. In addition, by placing the spatula 1 in a dedicated case 2, it is possible to prevent the spatula 1 from being lost. Furthermore, the case 2 allows the spatula 1 and the container 3 to be moved together.

[0033] The material constituting the case 2 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include resin materials, wood products, and the like. As with the spatula 1, examples of the resin material that can be used include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), melamine resin, epoxy resin, silicon resin, and the like. These resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Examples of wood products include wood and paperwork. By using paperwork as the material constituting the case 2, the case 2 can be made environmentally friendly. Examples of the method for manufacturing the case 2 include injection molding, as well as a method for press-molding a heated resin sheet or paper sheet.

[0034] Next, a spatula set 100 including a spatula 1, a case 2 on which the spatula 1 can be placed, and a container 3 will be described. As shown in FIG. 13, the spatula set 100 includes the spatula 1, the case 2, and two containers 3 for containing cosmetics. Different cosmetics can be contained in the two containers 3. In this embodiment, an example in which there are two containers 3 is shown, but the number of containers 3 may be any number as long as it is two or more. In addition, the shape of the container is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be any shape.

[0035] For example, if the spatula-equipped set 100 has four containers 3, there may be four container recesses 23 for storing the containers 3, two spatulas 1, and two grooves 24 for placing the spatulas 1. In this case, there may be two types of identification parts for each spatula 1, for a total of four types (for example, one, two, three, or four ring-shaped protrusions).

[0036] The cosmetic product is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a milky lotion, a face cream, a beauty essence, a foundation, a makeup base, a concealer, or the like.

[0037] The set 100 with spatula may have another case 4 that covers the container 3, as shown in FIG. 14. The other case 4 is a lid for the set 100 with spatula. The other case 4 has the same shape as the case 2 that holds the container 3. By making the other case 4 that serves as a lid have the same shape as the case 2 that holds the container 3, the manufacturing costs of the case 2 and the lid (other case) 4 can be reduced. Furthermore, if a part of the case 2 is damaged or soiled, it is possible to replace the case 2 with the other case 4 and use it.

[0038] In this embodiment, the case where the applied object is a cosmetic has been described, but the applied object is not particularly limited as long as it can be applied to the surface to be applied. The applied object may be a liquid, for example, a liquid of a pure substance or a liquid mixture. Furthermore, the applied object may be, for example, a solution, and a dispersion such as an emulsion or a suspension, and may be in a state called a gel, a slurry, a paste, a cream, or the like. The applied object may contain a powder, may mainly contain a powder, or may be substantially composed of a powder or may consist of a powder. The applied object may be a food, an adhesive, or the like. In addition, in this embodiment, the case where the spatula 1 is a spatula for applying a cosmetic has been described, but the spatula 1 can be applied to any applied object.

[0039] As described above, the embodiment has been described, but the above embodiment is presented as an example, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The above embodiment can be implemented in various other forms, and various combinations, omissions, substitutions, modifications, etc. can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the scope of the invention and its equivalents described in the claims.
