Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a screen for a cosmetic container and to the cosmetic container itself. Background Technology

[0002] A cosmetic container comprises a main body that accommodates a cosmetic composition and a mesh screen that covers the cosmetic composition. A user can take the cosmetic composition through the mesh screen by pressing an applicator, such as a puff, against the mesh screen.

[0003] However, the user's pressing force tends to be concentrated in the center of the mesh screen, causing the cosmetic composition to overflow through the outer parts of the mesh screen, particularly the outer periphery. The problem to be solved

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a screen for a cosmetic container and a cosmetic container itself, which can reduce overflow at the outer portion of the screen of the cosmetic container. means of solving the problem

[0005] To achieve the above objective, one aspect of the present invention provides a screen for a cosmetic container. The screen comprises a mesh-shaped sheet substrate having a plurality of openings. The sheet substrate has a closing pattern composed of at least one closing region that at least partially closes the plurality of openings. The closing area in which the at least one closing region at least partially closes the plurality of openings is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate than in the inner part of the sheet substrate. Here, "at least partially closed" means closing partially or completely. "Partially closed" means reducing the hole size of the opening by any means, and "completely closed" means blocking the entire opening by any means. By partially closing the openings, the hole size of the openings becomes smaller than that of other (unclosed) openings.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closed area may be composed of at least one closed portion, and each closed portion continuously closes one or more openings on the sheet material.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closed area may be composed of a plurality of closed parts arranged in a ring shape on a sheet substrate.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closed area may be composed of a plurality of closed parts arranged in a series from the center of the sheet material toward the perimeter edge of the sheet material.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the screen, the area of ​​a plurality of closed portions arranged in a series may increase from the center of the sheet material toward the perimeter edge of the sheet material.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closing pattern may include a first closing area closer to the center of the sheet substrate and a second closing area further from the center of the sheet substrate, and the closing area of ​​the second closing area may be larger than the closing area of ​​the first closing area.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closing pattern may be composed of one continuous closing portion that closes one or more openings, and the closing portion has an inner end facing toward the center of the sheet material and an outer end facing toward the periphery edge of the sheet material, and the area of ​​the portion of the closing portion that is closer to the outer end than the inner end may be larger than the area of ​​the portion of the closing portion that is closer to the inner end than the outer end.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closed area in the outer region, which is composed of a set of points P satisfying d1≥d2, may be larger than the closed area in the inner region, which is composed of a set of points P satisfying d1<d2, where d1 is the distance from point P on the sheet substrate to the center of the sheet substrate in the plan view of the sheet plane of the sheet substrate, and d2 is the distance from point P on the sheet substrate to the perimeter edge of the sheet substrate.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the screen, the ratio of the closed area in the outer region, which is composed of a set of points P satisfying d1≥d2, to the total area of ​​the outer region may be greater than the ratio of the closed area in the inner region, which is composed of a set of points P satisfying d1<d2, to the total area of ​​the inner region, where d1 is the distance from point P on the sheet substrate to the center of the sheet substrate in the plan view of the sheet plane of the sheet substrate, and d2 is the distance from point P on the sheet substrate to the perimeter edge of the sheet substrate.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the screen, when the sheet material is divided into n regions (where n is an integer greater than 1) from the innermost first region to the outermost n region so as to equally divide the distance from the center of the sheet material to the perimeter edge of the sheet material into n sections (where n is an integer greater than 1), the closed area of ​​the k-th region (where k is an integer between 2 and n) is larger than the closed area of ​​the k-1-th region.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the screen, the sheet substrate may be made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyolefin, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylidene chloride, polyether ester, polyacrylonitrile, metal, glass fiber, and carbon fiber.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the screen, the sheet substrate may be made from a fabric material.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the screen, at least one closed area may include a welded portion in which a portion of a plurality of openings is closed by welding.

[0018] According to one embodiment of the screen, the closing pattern may be composed of a plurality of closing regions arranged in a radial shape on a sheet substrate.

[0019] Another aspect of the present invention provides a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container comprises a main body configured to receive a cosmetic composition and a screen according to any one of the embodiments, mounted on the main body to cover the cosmetic composition. Brief explanation of the drawing

[0020] To better understand the present invention, non-limiting and representative embodiments of the present invention are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container (1) according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a plan view of a screen (20) for a cosmetic container (1) according to one embodiment. FIGS. 3 to 19 are plan views of modified examples of a screen (20) for a cosmetic container (1) according to one embodiment. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The XYZ coordinate system is defined as shown in the drawings, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Screens for cosmetic containers and cosmetic containers are explained below through examples.

[0023] <Cosmetic Container>

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2, a cosmetic container (1) according to one embodiment will be described. FIGS. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic container (1) according to one embodiment. FIGS. 2 is a plan view of a screen (20) for a cosmetic container (1) according to one embodiment.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 1, a cosmetic container (1) comprises a main body (10) and a screen (20) mounted on the main body (10). The cosmetic container (1) contains a cosmetic composition C within the main body (10). The screen (20) covers the cosmetic composition C so that a user can take the cosmetic composition C through the screen (20).

[0026] It should be noted that the shape of the cosmetic container (1) in FIG. 1 is merely an example, and the cosmetic container (1) may be any type of container of any shape. For example, the cosmetic container (1) may be a cosmetic bottle having a cylindrical body that contains the cosmetic composition C.

[0027] (Cosmetic composition C)

[0028] Cosmetic composition C is made of any type of cosmetic material. A user takes cosmetic composition C through a screen (20) and applies it to the skin. Cosmetic composition C may be in any form, such as a liquid, a cream, a liquid cream foundation, a powder (e.g., heat-infused powder, compressed powder, or loose powder), or a solid. In particular, when cosmetic composition C is a liquid or a cream, the force applied by the user tends to cause cosmetic composition C to easily overflow through the screen (20) from the peripheral portion of the receiving portion (12).

[0029] (Main body (10))

[0030] The main body (10) is a main part of a cosmetic container (1) for receiving cosmetic composition C. The main body (10) has a receiving portion (12), an inner lid (14), and an outer lid (16).

[0031] The receiving portion (12) has a recess for placing cosmetic composition C therein. The receiving portion (12) functions as the base portion of the main body (10). The upper end of the receiving portion (12) is provided with a screen (20).

[0032] The inner lid (14) is a cover for the receiving portion (12). The inner lid (14) is connected to the side of the receiving portion (12) by a hinge and is configured to open and close the recess of the receiving portion (12). The inner lid (14) covers the screen (20) and the cosmetic composition C to prevent leakage of the cosmetic composition C.

[0033] The outer lid (16) is an outer cover of the main body (10). The outer lid (16) is connected by a hinge to the side of the receiving portion (12) at a position different from that of the inner lid (14). The outer lid (16) covers the inner lid (14) to seal the internal space of the main body (10). A mirror (18) may be provided on the inner side of the outer lid (16) for use when the user performs makeup. There may be a space between the inner lid (14) and the outer lid (16) in a closed state to accommodate an applicator, such as a puff, used to take cosmetic composition C through the screen (20).

[0034] (Screen (20))

[0035] The screen (20) covers the cosmetic composition C contained in the receiving portion (12) to prevent the cosmetic composition C from coming out of the receiving portion (12). The screen (20) has a mesh structure so that a user can take the cosmetic composition C through it while controlling the supply amount of the cosmetic composition C. A mesh structure refers to a structure having many openings, such as a net or a sieve.

[0036] The screen (20) includes a sheet substrate (22). The sheet substrate (22) is formed into a mesh structure having a plurality of openings (24) thereon. The openings (24) are arranged on the sheet substrate (22) in any manner, for example, regularly or randomly.

[0037] The sheet substrate (22) may be made of any material. For example, the sheet substrate (22) may be made of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyester, polyamide, polyurethane, polyolefin, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylidene chloride, polyether ester, polyacrylonitrile, UV-curable resin, metal, glass fiber, and carbon fiber. Preferably, the sheet substrate (22) is made from a fabric material. The sheet substrate (22) may be manufactured, for example, by 3D printing from a UV-curable resin.

[0038] The screen (20) has a closing pattern (30) that closes a portion of the opening (24). The closed opening (24) prevents the cosmetic composition C from passing through. Thus, the cosmetic composition C can pass through the screen (20) at a location where the opening (24) is not closed by the closing pattern (30). The closing pattern may also serve as an aesthetic decoration on the screen (20) to attract the consumer.

[0039] In FIGS. 1 and 2, the closed pattern (30) is a radial pattern composed of regularly arranged circles. The closed pattern (30) includes three types of circles. The first circle (40) is the smallest, the second circle (42) is the second smallest, and the third circle (44) is the largest. The first circle (40) is arranged in a ring shape on the innermost side, the third circle (44) is arranged in a ring shape on the outermost side, and the second circle (42) is arranged in a ring shape between the first circle (40) and the third circle (44).

[0040] Here, each circle may be called a closing part (34) that continuously closes one or more openings (24). The term "continuously closing" used here means closing only one opening or closing two or more openings, and each closed opening is adjacent to another closed opening. The closing part (34) is formed in a predetermined shape and arranged in a predetermined pattern to form a closing pattern (30) overall. In this case, the further the closing part (34) is located from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22), the larger the area of ​​the closing part (34).

[0041] Here, a "closed area" is defined as an intermediate element between the "closed part" and the "closed pattern." The closed area (32) is a group of one or more closed parts (34), forms a predetermined shape overall, and functions as part of the entire closed pattern. For example, in the example shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a ring-shaped set of the first circle (40) forms the first closed area (32a), a ring-shaped set of the second circle (42) forms the second closed area (32b), and a ring-shaped set of the third circle (44) forms the third closed area (32c). In other words, the closed area (32) is composed of one or more closed parts, and the closed pattern (30) is composed of one or more closed areas (32). In this case, the closed area (32) is composed of closed parts (34) arranged in a ring shape on the sheet substrate (22). Unlike a continuous closed section (34), the closed area (32) may include several closed sections (34) spaced apart from each other, and thus the closed area (32) may include not only the closed sections (34) but also a part of the opening (24).

[0042] In this embodiment, the closed area of ​​the third closed area (32c) is larger than the closed area of ​​the second closed area (32b), and the closed area of ​​the second closed area (32b) is larger than the closed area of ​​the first closed area (32a). The term "closed area" used here refers to the sum of the areas of the closed portions in any area (each closed portion is a continuous portion in which the opening (24) is continuously closed). For example, the closed area of ​​the first closed area (32a) is calculated by summing all the areas of the first circle (40) included in the first closed area (32a). Accordingly, the closed area in which the closed area (32) closes the opening (24) is larger in the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner portion of the sheet substrate (22). In this case, the closed area of ​​the closed region (32) further from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) is larger than the closed area of ​​the closed region (32) closer to the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22). In other words, the further the closed region (32) is located from the center (26) on the sheet substrate (22), the larger the closed area of ​​the closed region (32).

[0043] Alternatively, each closed area (32) may consist of one closed portion (34). For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the first closed area (32a') may be identical to one first circle (40) (one closed portion (34)), the second closed area (32b') may be identical to one second circle (42) (one closed portion (34)), and the third closed area (32c') may be identical to one third circle (44) (one closed portion (34)). Even in this way, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32') that closes the opening (24) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22).

[0044] Here, a point P on the sheet substrate (22) is given as shown in FIG. 2. In the plan view of the sheet plane of the sheet substrate (22) shown in FIG. 2, the distance (d1) is defined as the distance from point P to the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22), and the distance (d2) is defined as the distance from point P to the perimeter edge (28) of the sheet substrate (22). The inner region (22a) of the sheet substrate (22) is defined as an area composed of a set of points P satisfying d1 < d2, and the outer region (22b) of the sheet substrate (22) is defined as an area composed of a set of points P satisfying d1 ≥ d2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the sheet substrate (22) has a circular shape with radius r, the inner region (22a) is an inner circular portion with radius r / 2, and the outer region (22b) is an outer ring portion with width r / 2. Since all of the closed regions (32a, 32b, 32c) are located in the outer region (22b), the closed area in the outer region (22b) is larger than the closed area in the inner region (22a) where no closed region is formed.

[0046] "Closed density," that is, the ratio of the closed area in a certain region to the total area of ​​a certain region, can also be calculated. In this embodiment, the closed density in the outer region (22b) is greater than the closed density in the inner region (22a).

[0047] Alternatively, the sheet substrate (22) may be divided into three or more parts, for example, according to distance from the center (26). For example, the sheet substrate (22) may be divided into four parts by dividing the straight line from the center (26) to the perimeter edge (28) into four equal sections. In this case, the sheet substrate (22) may be divided into an innermost circular part with a radius r / 4, a first ring part with a width r / 4 around the innermost circular part, a second ring part with a width r / 4 around the first ring part, and a third ring part (outermost part) with a width r / 4 around the second ring part. More generally, the sheet substrate (22) may be divided into n parts (n is an integer greater than 1). The closing pattern (30) may have a gradient from the inner part to the outer part of the sheet substrate (22). For example, when the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the perimeter edge (28) is divided equally into n sections, from the innermost first region to the outermost n region, the area of ​​closure and / or closure density in the k-th region (k is an integer between 2 and n) is greater than the area of ​​closure and / or closure density in the k-th region. In other words, the further the divided area is from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22), the larger the area of ​​closure and / or closure density the divided area has.

[0048] The opening (24) is closed by any method to form a closed pattern (30), for example, by heat treatment of a specific portion of the sheet substrate (22). For example, the opening (24) may be partially closed by welding, such as ultrasonic welding of a mesh-shaped fabric sheet substrate, or by hot stamping. In this case, the closed portion (34) may be a welded portion in which the opening (24) is closed by welding of the sheet substrate (22). Alternatively, the opening (24) may be closed by the application of an adhesive, such as ink or glue, to a specific portion of the sheet substrate (22), for example, by silk screening of ink. The closed pattern (30) may be formed by adding something to block the opening (24), for example, by embroidery, patching, or thin printing, or by blocking the opening (24) with a laminated double-layer sheet.

[0049] <Examples of Screen Variations>

[0050] FIGS. 3 to 19 show variations of a screen (20) having various closed patterns (30).

[0051] The modified example shown in FIG. 3 has a closed pattern (30) composed of a plurality of triangular closed portions (34) arranged radially on a sheet substrate (22). The outer triangular closed portions (34) are larger than the inner triangular closed portions (34). The first (inner) closed area (32a) is composed of a ring-shaped set of inner closed portions (34), and the second (outer) closed area (32b) is composed of a ring-shaped set of outer closed portions (34). As with the modified example in FIG. 2, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22).

[0052] Alternatively, the first closed area (32a') may be one inner closed portion (34) of a smaller triangular shape, and the second closed area (32b') may be one outer closed portion (34) of a larger triangular shape. The closed pattern (30) consists of 16 inner closed areas (32a') and 16 outer closed areas (32b'). Even in this way, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32') is larger in the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner portion of the sheet substrate (22).

[0053] In addition, similar to the variation of FIG. 2, the closed area in the outer region (22b) is larger than the closed area in the inner region (22a). The closed density in the outer region (22b) is also larger than the closed density in the inner region (22a).

[0054] A variation of FIG. 4 has a closure pattern (30) composed of more triangular closure portions (34) than the triangular closure portion of FIG. 3. The triangular closure portions (34) are arranged radially on the sheet substrate (22). Four triangular closure portions (34) are arranged in a series along the radial direction, with the size increasing from the inner closure portion to the outer closure portion.

[0055] As with the variation of FIG. 3, the closed region (32) may be a ring-shaped set of closed parts (34) or a single closed part (34). In the former case, four ring-shaped concentric closed regions (32) are defined. In the latter case, the number of closed regions (32) is 16 × 4 = 64. In either case, the closed area of ​​the closed region (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). Additionally, the closed area and closed density in the outer region (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner region (22a).

[0056] The variation of FIG. 5 is similar to the variation of FIG. 4, but has two types of rows of triangular closed portions (34). The first row is an inner row of four smaller triangles forming the first closed area (32a), and the second row is an outer row of four larger triangles forming the second closed area (32b). The closed area of ​​the second closed area (32b) is larger than the closed area of ​​the first closed area (32a). Therefore, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). Additionally, the closed area and closed density in the outer area (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner area (22a).

[0057] In this case, the closed area (32) consists of a series of closed portions (34) arranged from the center (26) of the sheet material (22) toward the perimeter edge (28) of the sheet material (22). The area of ​​the series of closed portions (34) increases from the center (26) toward the perimeter edge (28).

[0058] A variation of FIG. 6 has a closed pattern (30) composed of heart-shaped closed portions (34) arranged radially on a sheet substrate (22). The three heart-shaped closed portions (34) increase in size from the inner closed portion to the outer closed portion and are arranged in a series along the radial direction.

[0059] As with the variations of FIGS. 3 and 4, the closed region (32) may be a ring-shaped set of closed parts (34) or a single closed part (34). In the former, three ring-shaped concentric closed regions (32) are defined. In the latter, the number of closed regions (32) is 16 × 3 = 48. In either case, the closed area of ​​the closed region (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). Additionally, the closed area and closed density in the outer region (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner region (22a).

[0060] A variation of FIG. 7 has a closed pattern (30) composed of circular closed portions (34) arranged radially in a twisted shape on a sheet substrate (22). Six circular closed portions (34) increase in size from the inner closed portion to the outer closed portion and are arranged in a series in a twisted shape from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the perimeter edge (28).

[0061] As with the variations of FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, the closed region (32) may be a ring-shaped set of closed parts (34) or a single closed part (34). In the former, six ring-shaped concentric closed regions (32) are defined. In the latter, the number of closed regions (32) is 16 × 6 = 96. In either case, the closed area of ​​the closed region (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). Additionally, the closed area and closed density in the outer region (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner region (22a).

[0062] A modified example of FIG. 8 has a closing pattern (30) composed of a teardrop-shaped closing portion (34a) arranged radially on the inner part of the sheet substrate (22) and a ring-shaped closing portion (34b) covering the outer part of the sheet substrate (22). Since the ring closing portion (34b) covers the entire outer part of the sheet substrate (22), the closing pattern (30) can significantly reduce the overflow of cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the screen (20).

[0063] The first closed area (32a) may be a ring-shaped set of teardrop-shaped closed portions (34a) or a single closed portion (34a). The second closed area (32b) is composed of closed portions (34b). The closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). Additionally, the closed area and closed density in the outer area (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner area (22a).

[0064] A variation of FIG. 9 has a closed pattern (30) composed of a teardrop-shaped closed portion (34a) arranged radially on the inner part of the sheet substrate (22), a wide arc-shaped closed portion (34b), and a thin arc-shaped closed portion (34c).

[0065] The first closed area (32a) is a single teardrop-shaped closed portion (34a). The second closed area (32b) is a set of adjacent arc-shaped closed portions (34b, 34c). Since the closed area of ​​the second closed area (32b) is larger than the closed area of ​​the first closed area (32a), the closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). Additionally, the closed area and closed density in the outer area (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner area (22a).

[0066] The variation of FIG. 10 is similar to the variation of FIG. 9, but instead of the teardrop-shaped closure portion (34a) of FIG. 9, three small teardrop-shaped closure portions (34a, 34b) are formed. The first closure area (32a) is one teardrop-shaped closure portion (34a). The second closure area (32b) is a set of two adjacent closure portions (34b, 34b). The third closure area (32c) is a set of adjacent arc-shaped closure portions (34c, 34d). Since the closure area of ​​the third closure area (32c) is larger than the closure area of ​​the second closure area (32b), and the closure area of ​​the second closure area (32b) is larger than the closure area of ​​the first closure area (32a), the closure area of ​​the closure area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22). In addition, the closed area and closed density in the outer region (22b) are greater than the closed area and closed density in the inner region (22a).

[0067] A variation of FIG. 11 has a closed pattern (30) composed of circular closed portions (34a, 34b). The closed portion (34a) forms a Y-shaped pattern arranged radially on the sheet substrate (22). The size of the closed portion (34a) increases from the inner portion to the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22). The closed portion (34b) is placed between the two Y-shaped patterns.

[0068] The first closed area (32a) is a set of 10 closed portions (34a) forming a Y-shaped pattern. The second closed area (32b) is one closed portion (34b). The closed area and closed density in the outer area (22b) are greater than the closed area and closed density in the inner area (22a). Therefore, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22).

[0069] The variation of FIG. 12 is similar to the variation of FIG. 11, but instead of the circular closure portion (34b) of FIG. 11, an inwardly oriented crescent closure portion (34b) is formed. The first closure area (32a) is a set of 10 closure portions (34a) forming a Y-shaped pattern. The second closure area (32b) is one crescent closure portion (34b). The closure area and closure density in the outer area (22b) are greater than the closure area and closure density in the inner area (22a). Therefore, the closure area of ​​the closure area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22).

[0070] The variation of FIG. 13 is similar to the variation of FIG. 12, but instead of the inner crescent closure portion (34b) of FIG. 12, an outer crescent closure portion (34b) is formed. The first closure area (32a) is a set of 10 closure portions (34a) forming a Y-shaped pattern. The second closure area (32b) is one crescent closure portion (34b). The closure area and closure density in the outer area (22b) are greater than the closure area and closure density in the inner area (22a). Therefore, the closure area of ​​the closure area (32) is larger in the outer part of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner part of the sheet substrate (22).

[0071] A variation of FIG. 14 has a closed pattern (30) composed of a teardrop-shaped closed portion (34). The closed portions (34) have the same size and are arranged radially on the sheet substrate (22). The closed portion (34) has an inner end (upper tip of the teardrop) oriented toward or facing the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22), and an outer end (bottom point of the teardrop) oriented toward or facing the periphery edge (28) of the sheet substrate (22). When the teardrop-shaped closed portion (34) is divided into an inner portion (34a) closer to the inner end than the outer end and an outer portion (34b) closer to the outer end than the inner end, the area of ​​the outer portion (34b) of the closed portion (34) is larger than the area of ​​the inner portion (34a) of the closed portion (34).

[0072] The closed area (32) is a single closed portion (34). As described above, the closed area of ​​the outer portion (outer portion (34b)) of the closed area (32) is larger than the closed area of ​​the inner portion (inner portion (34a)) of the closed area (32). Therefore, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner portion of the sheet substrate (22). Furthermore, the closed area and closed density in the outer area (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner area (22a).

[0073] A variation of FIG. 15 has a closed pattern (30) composed of teardrop-shaped closed portions (34a, 34b). While the closed portion (34b) is formed in a teardrop shape in the same way as the closed portion (34) of FIG. 14, the closed portion (34a) also has a teardrop shape, but is merely a teardrop outline. In other words, the closed portion (34b) closes the entire opening (24) surrounded by the teardrop outline, whereas the closed portion (34a) closes only the opening (24) along the teardrop outline and does not close the opening (24) surrounded by the teardrop outline. The closed portion (34a) is closer to the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) than the closed portion (34b).

[0074] The closed portions (34a) have the same size and are arranged radially on the sheet substrate (22). The closed portions (34b) also have the same size and are arranged radially on the sheet substrate (22). Similar to the closed portion (34) of FIG. 14, each of the closed portions (34a, 34b) has an inner end and an outer end. When the closed portions (34a, 34b) are divided into an inner portion that is closer to the inner end than the outer end and an outer portion that is closer to the outer end than the inner end, the area of ​​the outer portion of the closed portions (34a, 34b) is larger than the area of ​​the inner portion of the closed portions (34a, 34b).

[0075] The first closed area (32a) is one closed portion (34a). The second closed area (32b) is one closed portion (34b). As described above, the closed area of ​​the outer portion of the closed areas (32a, 32b) (the outer portion of the closed portion (34a, 34b)) is larger than the closed area of ​​the inner portion of the closed areas (32a, 32b) (the inner portion of the closed portion (34a, 34b)). Therefore, the closed area of ​​the closed area (32) is larger in the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22) than in the inner portion of the sheet substrate (22). Furthermore, the closed area and closed density in the outer area (22b) are larger than the closed area and closed density in the inner area (22a).

[0076] A modified example of FIG. 16 has a closed pattern (30) composed of a ring-shaped closed portion (32) that covers the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22). Since the ring closed portion (32) covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate (22), the closed pattern (30) can significantly reduce the overflow of cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the screen (20). For example, the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the inner edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) may be 27.8 mm, and the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the outer edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) (i.e., the radius of the sheet substrate (22)) may be 54.4 mm.

[0077] The modified example of FIG. 17, like the modified example of FIG. 16, has a closed pattern (30) composed of a ring-shaped closed portion (32) that covers the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22). Since the ring closed portion (32) covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate (22), the closed pattern (30) can significantly reduce the overflow of cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the screen (20). For example, the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the inner edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) may be 29 mm, and the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the outer edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) (i.e., the radius of the sheet substrate (22)) may be 49 mm.

[0078] A modified example of FIG. 18 has a closed pattern (30) composed of a ring-shaped closed portion (32) that partially covers the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22). The outermost ring-shaped portion of the sheet substrate (22) does not have a closed portion (32) formed therein. Since the ring closed portion (32) covers most of the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22), the closed pattern (30) can significantly reduce the overflow of cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the screen (20). For example, the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the inner edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) may be 27.8 mm, the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the outer edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) may be 51.6 mm, and the radius of the sheet substrate (22) may be 56.2 mm.

[0079] The modified example of FIG. 19, like the modified examples of FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, has a closed pattern (30) composed of a ring-shaped closed portion (32) that covers the outer portion of the sheet substrate (22). Since the ring closed portion (32) covers the entire outer portion of the sheet substrate (22), the closed pattern (30) can significantly reduce the overflow of cosmetic composition C at the periphery of the screen (20). For example, the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the inner edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) may be 31.6 mm, and the distance from the center (26) of the sheet substrate (22) to the outer edge of the ring-shaped closed portion (32) (i.e., the radius of the sheet substrate (22)) may be 51.6 mm.

[0080] <Effect>

[0081] According to at least one of the embodiments described above, the outer portion of the screen is covered by a closed area more than the inner portion of the screen. Therefore, it is possible to reduce overflow from the outer portion of the screen of the cosmetic container.

[0082] A test was performed using a cosmetic container equipped with a screen having a closed pattern as shown in Fig. 8 and a comparative cosmetic container equipped with a screen without a closed pattern. By pressing the center of the screen without a closed pattern, the cosmetic composition overflowed through the periphery of the screen. On the other hand, at the periphery of the screen with a closed pattern, no overflow was observed (or very limited overflow was observed) and did not affect the makeup result.
