Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a rod-shaped cosmetic container for holding rod-shaped cosmetics such as lipsticks.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, in a rod-shaped cosmetic container, it is generally known that a cylindrical lid member is engaged and attached to the upper part of a hakama member. Also, magnets are built into the hakama member and the lid member respectively, and the hakama member and the lid member are attracted and joined by the magnetic force of the magnets, which is also described in Patent Document 1.

[0003] On the other hand, the outer peripheral surfaces of the hakama member and the lid member may be decorated continuously to improve their aesthetics. However, with the engagement by general protrusions or the like or the coupling by magnetic force as described above, the user cannot attach the lid member while maintaining the continuity of the pattern unless they consciously do so. Also, there is a drawback that the lid member rotates during storage (when carried), and the pattern becomes discontinuous.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail according to the embodiments for carrying out the present invention shown in the drawings. In a first embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, 1 is a rod-shaped cosmetic container of the present invention in which a dish member 3 holding a rod-shaped cosmetic 2 moves in the vertical direction by a feeding mechanism 4, and the rod-shaped cosmetic 2 is retractably stored (hereinafter referred to as "storage container").

[0012] This storage container 1 includes a hakama member 6 having a first magnetic body 13 on the upper end side, and a lid member 12 that joins with the hakama member 6 and has a second magnetic body 19 that attracts each other according to the polarity of the first magnetic body 13 on the lower end side. The first magnetic body 13 is formed in an annular shape having one protruding portion 13a in the circumferential direction, and has opposite magnetisms so as to be divided by a line passing through the protruding portion 13a and its center O1. The second magnetic body 19 is formed in an annular shape having one protruding portion 19a in the circumferential direction, that is, substantially the same shape as the first magnetic body 13. In a state where the protruding portions 13a and 19a of the first magnetic body 13 and the second magnetic body 19 are substantially opposed (continuous) in the vertical direction, the first magnetic body 13 and the second magnetic body 19 attract each other, and the lid member 12 and the hakama member 6 are always attached in a predetermined orientation.

[0013] More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, for example, this storage container 1 is provided with a lid member attachment portion 5 at the upper part, a hakama member 6 whose outer peripheral surface is exposed to the outside, a spiral member 8 that is inserted and fixed into the hakama member 6 and has a spiral groove 7 formed on its inner wall surface, an inner cylinder member 10 provided inside the spiral member 8 and having a notch 9 extending substantially vertically in the vertical direction, a dish member 3 that is provided movably up and down inside the inner cylinder member 10 and has an engaging portion 11 that engages with the notch 9 and the spiral groove 7, and supports a rod-shaped cosmetic 2 such as a lipstick, and a lid member 12 that is detachably attached to the lid member attachment portion 5 and covers the outer peripheral portion on the upper side of the inner cylinder member 10.

[0014] On the upper side of the hakama member 6, in this embodiment, a lid member attachment portion 5 is formed at the upper end portion. A first magnetic body 13 is provided inside the lid member attachment portion 5, and a first pattern 14 is formed on its outer peripheral surface.

[0015] Incidentally, in this embodiment, the hakama member 6 includes a hakama member main body 16 having a first pattern 14 (or shape) formed on its outer peripheral surface and a first magnetic body attachment portion 15 formed on the inner peripheral surface on the upper end portion side thereof, a first magnetic body 13 provided on the first magnetic body attachment portion 15, and a first magnetic body fixing member 17 that is inserted into the hakama member main body 16 and fixes the first magnetic body 13 to the first magnetic body attachment portion 15.

[0016] Therefore, in this embodiment, the first magnetic body attachment portion 15 is a portion for storing the first magnetic body 13. It should be noted that the first pattern 14 is formed on substantially all portions of the outer peripheral surface when substantially all of the outer peripheral surface is exposed to the outside as in this embodiment. However, when only a part of the outer peripheral surface of the hakama member 6 is exposed to the outside, it may be formed only on that part.

[0017] In a plan view, the first magnetic body 13 is formed in a circular shape with a substantially circular inner diameter side and a substantially water droplet shape on the outer diameter side, that is, having one protruding portion (for example, a corner portion) 13a in the circumferential direction (outer circumferential direction in this embodiment), and is formed in a substantially annular shape. Also, the first magnetic body mounting portion 15 is formed in a similar shape so that the first magnetic body 13 can be exactly accommodated therein.

[0018] The first magnetic body 13 is configured to have opposite magnetic poles such that the S pole and the N pole are divided left and right by a line L1 passing through the protruding portion 13a and the center O1 of the first magnetic body. For example, it is conceivable to set the magnetic pole on the left side of this L1 as the S pole and the magnetic pole on the right side as the N pole, and of course, there is also the reverse mode. It is desirable to provide the first magnetic body 13 in an embedded state in the inner part of the bottom surface of the lid member mounting portion 5 so that it cannot be visually recognized from the outside.

[0019] The first pattern 14 is formed in a three-dimensional diamond cut pattern with slightly unevenness. Also, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the hakama member 6 has a first convex line pattern 18 in a convex line shape extending obliquely in the vertical direction. The first magnetic body 13 is provided such that its protruding portion 13a coincides with the first convex line pattern 18.

[0020] The outer peripheral surface of the lid member 12 is exposed to the outside, covers the outer peripheral portions of the upper sides of the inner cylindrical member 10 and the spiral member 8, and the lower end portion is attached to the lid member mounting portion 5 in a joined state. When this lid member 12 is attached, a second magnetic body 19 is provided on the lower end portion side so as to face the first magnetic body 13, and a second pattern 20 (or shape) is formed substantially entirely on its outer peripheral surface.

[0021] Incidentally, in this embodiment, the lid member 12 includes a lid member main body 22 having a second pattern 20 formed on its outer peripheral surface and a second magnetic body mounting portion 21 formed on the inner peripheral surface on the lower end portion side thereof, a second magnetic body 19 accommodated in the second magnetic body mounting portion 21, and a second magnetic body fixing member 23 inserted into the lid member main body 22 and fixing the second magnetic body 19 to the second magnetic body mounting portion 21.

[0022] Therefore, in the present embodiment, the second magnetic body mounting portion 21 serves as a portion for housing the second magnetic body 19.

[0023] This second magnetic body 19 has, in a plan view, in the circumferential direction (in the present embodiment, the outer circumferential direction), one protruding portion 19a having a shape and size corresponding to the above-described protruding portion 13a. The N pole and the S pole are formed to have opposite magnetic properties so as to be divided left and right by a line L2 passing through the protruding portion 19a and the center O2 of the second magnetic body 19. The magnetism of this second magnetic body 19 is such that when a lid member is attached to the lid member attachment portion 5, the protruding portions 13a and 19a of the first magnetic body 13 and the second magnetic body 19 are substantially opposed (substantially continuous) in the vertical direction (in a state where the protruding portions 13a and 19a are located at substantially the same position in a plan view), and the first magnetic body 13 and the second magnetic body 19 are formed to attract each other according to their polarities. That is, in the present embodiment, the magnetism on the left side of the line L2 passing through the center of the protruding portion 19a and its center O2 is defined as the N pole, and the magnetism on the right side is defined as the S pole.

[0024] By providing the first and second magnetic bodies 13 and 19 in this way, when the lid member 12 is attached to the hakama member 6, the lid member 12 and the hakama member 6 are always attached in a predetermined orientation.

[0025] Also, a second pattern 20 of a three-dimensional diamond cut pattern with slightly unevenness is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the lid member 12, and this second pattern 20 also has a linear second convex line pattern 24 extending in an oblique state in the vertical direction.

[0026] As described above, in a state where the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body attract each other according to their polarities, the first pattern 14 (or shape) and the second pattern 20 (or shape) are continuous in the vertical direction, and the upper end portion of the first convex line pattern 18 and the lower end portion of the second convex line pattern 24 are configured to be substantially continuous.

[0027] Since the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 19 are attracted to each other, the lid member 12 and the hakama member 6 are always in a predetermined orientation. Therefore, the first pattern 14, the second pattern 20, the first convex line pattern 18, and the second convex line pattern 24 are automatically in a substantially continuous state respectively.

[0028] Here, it should be noted that "the pattern or shape is continuous" is not limited to the case where the first pattern 14, the second pattern 20, the first convex line pattern 18, and the second convex line pattern 24 are continuous with almost no steps or gaps as in this embodiment. For example, even if there are steps (there is a difference in the outer diameters of the lid member 12 and the hakama member 6), or the shapes of the upper and lower lid members and the hakama member 6 are different, as long as the first magnetic member 13 and the second magnetic member 19 are attracted to each other and express one pattern or shape that is desired to be expressed by the upper and lower patterns or shapes, it is included in the state of "the pattern or shape is continuous".

[0029] The inner cylinder member 10 has a fitting portion 25 at its lower end that fits with the hakama member 6. Further, in this embodiment, the spiral member 8 is rotatably attached in a state of substantially contacting the outer peripheral surface of the upper side of the inner cylinder member 10 (the portion above the fitting portion 25). In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 4 is composed of the spiral member 8, the inner cylinder member 10, and the dish member 3.

[0030] The engaging portion 11 of the dish member 3 is engaged with the spiral groove 7 of the spiral member 8 and the notch 9 of the inner cylinder member 10. By rotating the hakama member 6, the dish member 3 moves upward along the spiral groove 7 due to the spiral groove 7 of the spiral member 8 that rotates integrally with the hakama member 6. At this time, since the engaging portion 11 is also engaged with the substantially vertical notch 9, it is displaced straight upward without rotating in the left - right direction.

[0031] When using the storage container 1 of this embodiment, the lid member 12 is removed from the hakama member 6 against the magnetic force of the first and second magnetic members 13 and 19, and with one hand holding the outer peripheral surface of the spiral member 8 as described above, the hakama member 6 is rotated to operate the feeding mechanism 4.

[0032] Thereby, the stick-shaped cosmetic 2 is exposed, and after using the stick-shaped cosmetic 2, the hakama member 6 is rotated in the opposite direction to store the stick-shaped cosmetic 2. Then, the lid member 12 covers the outer peripheral portion of the inner cylinder member 10 and the like, and the lid member 12 is attached to the hakama member 6. At this time, since the hakama member 6 and the lid member 12 are provided with the first magnetic body 13 and the second magnetic body 19 as described above, they automatically rotate to a predetermined position (orientation) without the user aligning them, and enter the attached state.

[0033] [Different Modes for Carrying Out the Invention] Next, different modes for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 will be described. In the description of these different modes for carrying out the present invention, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the first mode for carrying out the present invention, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0034] In the second mode for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, the main difference from the first mode for carrying out the present invention is that a hakama member 6A provided with a lid member attachment portion 5 at the upper part, a spiral member 8A inserted and fixed in the hakama member 6A and having a pair of spiral grooves 7 formed on its inner wall surface, an inner cylinder member 10A rotatably attached inside the spiral member 8A, having a notch 9 extending in the vertical direction and having its upper end portion notched obliquely, and a cylindrical dish member 3A provided movably up and down inside the inner cylinder member 10A, and a storage container 1A is constituted by using a first magnetic body 13A and a second magnetic body 19A provided with concave portions 13b and 19b on their inner peripheral surfaces. Even with such a storage container 1A, the same operational effects as those of the storage container in the first mode for carrying out the present invention can be obtained.

[0035] As a feeding mechanism of the present invention, a rod member can be provided on the bottom surface of the dish member, and the dish member can be moved up and down by screwing the rod member with a driving member or the like using a screw on the outer peripheral surface of the rod member, or other known feeding mechanisms can be used.

[0036] Also, regarding the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body, although those having one protrusion or recess on their outer peripheral surfaces have been described, for example, a protrusion protruding inward may be formed on the inner peripheral surface, or a substantially triangular recess-shaped recess that is concave inward may be formed on the inner peripheral surface. Regarding the magnetism of the first and second magnetic bodies, although the form divided by a line passing through the center of the protrusion has been described, it is sufficient that the magnetism of the magnetic body is divided through the center and the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body attract each other in a form where the protrusion or recess is continuous in the vertical direction. Therefore, the line dividing the magnetism does not necessarily have to pass through the protrusion or recess.

[0037] The magnetic body is described as being annular, but this annular shape includes deformed ellipses and the like. Also, the upper surface of the first magnetic body and the lower surface of the second magnetic body include those formed according to the shape of the portion where the hakama member and the lid member are joined, and do not necessarily have to be substantially horizontal. (For example, in the case of a shape where the lower part of the lid undulates, a cylinder that undulates the surface of the magnetic body to match this shape.) The shapes of the lid member and the hakama member are not limited to the substantially cylindrical ones described in the drawings and the like, and may be rugby ball-shaped or prismatic, and the shapes of the lid member and the hakama member may be different. Additionally, in a state where the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are attracting each other, patterns and shapes may be formed so as to be continuous vertically. Even if the outer diameters and the like of the lid member and the hakama member are different, it is sufficient that they are formed so as to be continuous vertically as patterns and shapes.

[0038] Also, in this embodiment, the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are provided so that the patterns are continuous vertically, but the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body can also be provided so that such characteristic shapes can be expressed continuously vertically.

[0039] That is, in a state where the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are attracting each other, the first shape provided on the hakama member and the second shape provided on the lid member may be formed so as to be continuous vertically.

[0040] Incidentally, the convex line pattern described in the embodiment of the present invention has a pattern and a shape. Naturally, in a state where the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body are attracted to each other, only the pattern may be formed so as to be continuous vertically.

[0041] In the present invention, since the magnetic body is annular, the magnetic force can be increased by reducing the thickness of the magnetic body in the circumferential direction and increasing the width in the vertical direction. Therefore, even when there is no space between the skirt member and the feeding mechanism, it is possible to sufficiently adjust the attracting force.

[0042] As an effect, if the diameters are matched, it can be commonly used regardless of the shape of the rod-shaped cosmetic container.

Industrial Applicability

[0043] The rod-shaped cosmetic container of the present invention is used in the field of manufacturing containers for storing solid rod-shaped cosmetics such as lipsticks, lip creams, stick eyeshadows, stick blushes, stick foundations, concealers, lip liners, eyeliners, eyebrows, sunscreen cosmetics, eye creams, hair styling products, etc., and in the cosmetics industry.
