Description

Applicator delivery container and applicator replacement member

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a coating material sending-out container and a coating material replacement member.

Background

Various kinds of applicator delivery containers have been known. For example, Japanese Kokoku publication Sho-57-44892 discloses a stick type cosmetic cartridge which can be used by replacing the cartridge body with a new stick type cosmetic. In the case of a stick type cosmetic cartridge, a cartridge main body can be detachably attached to a holder. The case body accommodates therein a stick type cosmetic, a rear cover for gripping the stick type cosmetic, and a plurality of magnetic bodies attached to the rear portion of the stick type cosmetic via the rear cover. The stick-shaped cosmetic moves inside the case main body together with the rear cover.

Patent document 1: japanese Kokoku publication Sho 57-44892

In the above-described cartridge-type stick cosmetic, when the stick cosmetic is replaced, the cartridge main body, the stick cosmetic, the rear cover, and the plurality of magnetic materials are discarded. From the viewpoint of environmental protection, it is desired to reduce the number of parts to be discarded in accordance with the replacement of the stick cosmetic.

Disclosure of Invention

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a coating material feeding container and a coating material replacement member, which can reduce the number of discarded parts and can easily replace a coating material.

The disclosed applicator delivery container is provided with: a core holder having a holding part for holding the coating material and a first adsorption member; a front cylinder having an opening through which the core holder can be inserted and removed and a cylinder hole continuous from the opening; a container body which is engaged with the front cylinder along the axial direction of the front cylinder so as to be rotatable relative thereto; a cylindrical female screw member provided so as to be rotatable in synchronization with the container body inside the container body, the female screw member having a female screw on an inner surface; a moving body having an external thread screwed with the internal thread of the internal thread member and moving the core clip in the axial direction; an absorber holder disposed between the moving body and the core clamper, having a second absorbing member absorbed by the first absorbing member, and moving along the axial direction together with the core clamper; and a stopper for stopping the moving adsorbent holder at a predetermined position, wherein the moving body relatively displaces the core clamp with respect to the adsorbent holder stopped by the stopper, thereby separating the core clamp from the adsorbent holder.

In the applicator delivery container, the core holding the applicator is inserted into and removed from the opening of the front cylinder. The front barrel is engaged with the container body in the axial direction of the front barrel so as to be relatively rotatable. An internally threaded member having an internal thread is provided inside the container body. The moving body has an external thread screwed with the internal thread. The moving body moves the core clip in the axial direction by the screwing action of the internal thread and the external thread. The absorbent holder having the second absorbent member absorbed by the first absorbent member of the core holder moves in the axial direction together with the core holder. When the adsorbent holder and the core holder are moved in a direction in which the applicator is pushed out from the opening (hereinafter referred to as "forward"), the adsorbent holder is stopped by the stopper when the adsorbent holder and the core holder are moved to predetermined positions. When the applicator is replaced, the moving body moves the core clamp from the predetermined position further forward. Thereby, the core holder is separated from the adsorbent holder, and the applicator and the core holder are removed from the applicator feed-out container. Therefore, only the coated member and the core clip can be replaced, and thus the number of discarded parts can be reduced. In the applicator delivery container, the moving member moves the core holder relative to the adsorbent holder stopped by the stopper. At this time, the core holder can be moved further forward by relatively displacing the first suction member of the core holder with respect to the second suction member of the suction holder. Therefore, the movement of the moving body separates the core holder from the adsorbent holder, and the applicator and the core holder can be removed from the applicator feed-out container. Thereby, the applicator can be easily replaced.

The inner shape of the cylindrical hole when viewed from the axial direction may be similar to the outer shape of the core holder when viewed from the axial direction. In this case, by making the outer shape of the core holder holding the applicator similar to the inner shape of the cylindrical hole, the replacement of the pre-designated genuine applicator and core holder can be promoted.

The applicator delivery container of the present disclosure may include: and an elastic member which supports the absorber holder and is interposed between the absorber holder and the movable body. In this case, when the core clip with the applicator enters the opening of the front cylinder and the core clip abuts against the adsorbent holder in order to replace the applicator, the impact force applied to the adsorbent holder can be relaxed by the elastic member.

The movable body may have a through hole extending in the axial direction, the adsorbent holder may have a shaft inserted through the through hole, and the stopper may be engaged with the shaft.

The first and second adsorbing members may be magnetic bodies. In this case, the first suction member of the core clip can be attracted to the second suction member of the absorbent body holder. Therefore, even if the core clip and the absorbent body holder do not contact each other, the core clip and the absorbent body holder can be easily absorbed by being brought close to each other.

The applicator replacement member of the present disclosure includes: coating a piece; a core clamp having a holding part for holding the coating material and an adsorption member; and a replacement cartridge accommodating the coating member and the core clip.

In this applicator replacement member, only the applicator and the core clip can be replaced as described above, and therefore the number of parts to be discarded can be reduced, and the applicator can be easily replaced.

Effects of the invention

According to the present disclosure, the number of discarded parts can be reduced, and the coated member can be easily replaced.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the applicator delivery container and the applicator replacement container according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof is omitted.

(first embodiment)

Fig. 1 is a side view of an applicator delivery container 100 according to a first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a side view showing a state where the cover 101 is removed from the applicator delivery container 100 of fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along line a-a of the applicator delivery container 100 of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the applicator delivery container 100 of the present embodiment is, for example, a cylindrical container that delivers the applicator M1 stored in the front tube 2 by the operation of the user.

In the present disclosure, "axis" refers to the axis of the cartridge. In the present embodiment, the axis represents a center line of the applicator feed container extending in the longitudinal direction of the applicator feed container. "axial direction" refers to a direction along an axis. In the present embodiment, the axial direction shows the longitudinal direction of the applicator feeding container. "front", "front side" and "front" show directions from the container main body toward the front barrel in the axial direction, and "rear", "rear side" and "rear" show directions from the front barrel toward the container main body in the axial direction. "radial" shows a direction orthogonal to the axis, and "circumferential" shows a direction along the ring centered on the axis. However, these directions are for convenience of explanation, and the arrangement position and arrangement of the components are not limited to these directions.

The coating material M1 may be, for example, a stick-shaped cosmetic such as a lipstick, a lip gloss, an eyeliner, a eyebrow pencil, a lip liner, a blush, a concealer, a beauty stick, a hair dye, a nail polish, or a painting material including a stick-shaped core in a stationery. The coating material M1 may be a thin rod having an outer diameter of 1.5mm or less, a general rod having an outer diameter of 1.5mm or more and 3.0mm or less, or a thick rod having an outer diameter of 4.0mm or more.

The applicator delivery container 100 includes: a front barrel 2; and a cylindrical container body 3. The core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 is inserted into and removed from the front barrel 2. The container body 3 is coupled to the rear side of the front tube 2 and is engaged with the front tube 2 so as to be rotatable relative thereto. The applicator delivery container 100 further includes a lid 101 for accommodating the front tube 2. When the cover 101 is removed and the front cylinder 2 and the container body 3 are relatively rotated, the applicator M1 is pressed out from the front cylinder 2, and the applicator M1 is used.

The applicator delivery container 100 includes a cylindrical female screw member 4, a moving body 5, and an adsorbent holder 6. The female screw member 4 is provided so as to be rotatable inside the container body 3 in synchronization with the container body 3, and has a female screw 4d on an inner surface. The moving body 5 has a male screw 5a screwed with the female screw 4d of the female screw member 4. The moving body 5 moves the core holder 1 holding the applicator M1 forward in the axial direction, thereby pressing the applicator M1 out of the front barrel 2. In the applicator delivery container 100, only the core clips 1 holding the applicator M1 and the applicator M1 are replaced.

The lid 101 has a bottomed cylindrical shape. The cover 101 internally houses the front barrel 2. The lid 101 has an annular recess 101a on the inner surface thereof, which engages with the container body 3. The container body 3 is engaged with the annular recess 101a, and thereby the position of the cap 101 in the applicator feed container 100 is fixed in a state where the front cylinder 2 is accommodated inside the cap 101.

The container body 3 has a front barrel 3a and a rear barrel 3b having a larger outer diameter than the front barrel 3 a. As an example, the container body 3 has a stepped cylindrical shape having a step between the front cylinder 3a and the rear cylinder 3 b. The front tube 3a has a plurality of projections 3c and annular projections 3d on the outer periphery from the rear side. The projections 3c are arranged in a circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the front barrel 3 a. The number of the projections 3c is, for example, three. The annular projection 3d extends in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the front barrel 3 a. The front barrel 3a is accommodated in the lid 101 together with the front barrel 2. When the front barrel 3a is housed in the lid 101, the projection 3c of the front barrel 3a engages with the annular recess 101a of the lid 101. At this time, the annular projection 3d abuts against the inner periphery of the lid 101. The annular projection 3d abuts against the inner periphery of the lid 101, thereby maintaining the airtightness of the container body 3. In fig. 2, the annular convex portion 3d is disposed on the front side of the protrusion 3 c. However, the position where the annular convex portion 3d is arranged is not limited to the front side of the protrusion 3 c. The annular projection 3d may be disposed at a position on the front tube 3a and in contact with the inner periphery of the lid 101. Instead of the annular projection 3d, an O-ring separate from the container body 3 may be disposed on the front cylinder 3 a. In the drawings other than fig. 2, the annular projection 3d is omitted. In the rear tube 3b, a groove 3e is formed in the inner surface of the rear tube 3 b. The groove 3e extends in the axial direction at the rear end of the container body 3, for example. The number of the grooves 3e is, for example, two. The grooves 3e are provided so as to face each other across the axis of the container body 3.

The applicator delivery container 100 further includes a tail plug 104. The tail plug 104 engages with the container body 3 to close the rear end of the container body 3. The tail plug 104 includes a seal portion 104a, a rear cylinder 104b, and a front cylinder 104c from the rear side. The tail plug 104 has, for example, a stepped cylindrical shape. A plate-like portion (a seal portion 104a described later) extending along a plane orthogonal to the axial direction, for example, is formed at the rear end of the tail plug 104.

As an example, the sealing portion 104a has a disc shape. The outer diameter of the seal portion 104a is smaller than the outer diameter of the rear cylinder 3b of the container body 3 and larger than the inner diameter of the rear cylinder 3 b. The outer diameter of the seal portion 104a may be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the rear cylinder 3 b. The sealing portion 104a abuts on the rear end of the rear tube 3b to close the rear end of the container body 3. When the tail plug 104 is engaged with the container body 3, the rear cylinder 104b and the front cylinder 104c are accommodated in the container body 3, and only the seal portion 104a is exposed.

The rear cylinder 104b is provided on the front side of the seal portion 104 a. The rear cylinder 104b has, for example, a convex portion 104d and an O-ring support portion 104e on the outer periphery, and the convex portion 104d and the O-ring support portion 104e are arranged from the rear side. The number of the convex portions 104d is, for example, two. The convex portions 104d are located at positions facing each other across the axis of the rear cylinder 104 b. The projection 104d engages with the groove 3e of the container body. The projection 104d engages with the groove 3e in the circumferential direction (rotational direction), and thereby the plug 104 and the container body 3 rotate in synchronization.

The O-ring support 104e is provided on the front side of the projection 104 d. The O-ring support portion 104e protrudes from the outer periphery of the rear cylinder 104b, and extends annularly in the circumferential direction. A groove recessed from the outer periphery of the O-ring support portion 104e and extending in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer periphery of the O-ring support portion 104 e. The groove of the O-ring support portion 104e is a portion into which the O-ring 105 enters. In a state where the O-ring 105 enters the groove of the O-ring support 104e, the tail plug 104 engages with the container body 3.

The rear barrel 104b has a groove 104f on the inner surface of the rear barrel 104 b. The number of the grooves 104f is, for example, four. The grooves 104f are arranged in the inner surface of the rear barrel 104b in the circumferential direction. As an example, the grooves 104f are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The groove 104f is disposed on the front side of the rear cylinder 104b, for example. The groove 104f extends in the axial direction.

The front cylinder 104c is provided on the front side of the rear cylinder 104 b. The front barrel 104c has a larger outer diameter and inner diameter than the rear barrel 104 b. A step 104g for connecting the front cylinder 104c and the rear cylinder 104b to each other is provided on the inner surface of the tail plug 104. The step 104g extends radially between the front barrel 104c and the rear barrel 104 b.

An engaging portion 104h for engaging with the front barrel 2 is provided on the inner surface of the front barrel 104 c. The engaging portion 104h is located on the front side of the front barrel 104 c. The engaging portion 104h is recessed in the inner surface of the front barrel 104c, and extends in the circumferential direction. The engaging portion 104h extends rearward from the front end of the front tube 104 c. The engaging portion 104h expands the inner diameter of a part of the front portion of the front tube 104 c.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 and the applicator M1. The applicator M1 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape extending in the axial direction and curved so that both sides in the width direction of the applicator M1 protrude outward. The core clip 1 includes a grip portion 1b, a first suction member holding portion 1a, and a first suction member a1 (see fig. 3). The grip 1b grips the applicator M1 so as to press the corner of the applicator M1 extending in the axial direction. The first adsorption member holding part 1a holds the first adsorption member a 1.

The shape of the applicator M1 when viewed from the axial direction is a rectangular shape including long sides facing each other and short sides facing each other. The short sides facing each other are bent so as to bulge toward the outside of the applicator M1. In the present embodiment, the rectangular shape includes not only a strict rectangle but also a shape in which the short sides of the rectangle are bent outward.

The grip portion 1b has a plurality of claws 1 c. The plurality of claws 1c extend in the axial direction along the applicator M1. For example, the number of the claws 1c is four. The four claws 1c extend along the corners of the applied member M1, respectively. The four claws 1c are located on the extension of the diagonal line of the cross section of the applicator M1 in the cross section of the applicator M1 orthogonal to the axial direction. A slit 1d is formed between a pair of claws 1c adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. As an example, the number of the slits 1d is four. The applicator M1 held by the core clip 1 is exposed in each slit 1 d. The slit 1d is a through hole through which the applicator M1 is exposed.

The first suction member holding portion 1a is disposed on the rear side of the grip portion 1 b. The first adsorbing member holding portion 1a has a bottomed cylindrical shape, for example. The first suction member holding portion 1a holds therein the first suction member a 1. A hole of the first suction member holding portion 1a (a hole that cuts out the inner surface of the first suction member holding portion 1a having a bottomed cylindrical shape) extends forward from the rear end of the first suction member holding portion 1 a. The first adsorption member a1 is fixed in a state of being entered into the inside of the hole. For example, the first suction member a1 is disposed at the rear end of the core clip 1.

The first absorbing member a1 is, for example, a magnetic body, but may be a hook and loop fastener (surface ファスナー). The magnetic material applied to the first adsorption member a1 is, for example, a metal member (iron as an example) or a magnet. The magnet applied to the first adsorption member a1 is, for example, a neodymium magnet. When the first adsorbing member a1 is a magnetic body, a second adsorbing member a2 described later is also a magnetic body. The magnetic body used as the second adsorption member a2 is the same as that of the first adsorption member a 1. When the first adsorption member a1 and the second adsorption member a2 are magnetic bodies, the first adsorption member a1 and the second adsorption member a2 are arranged to adsorb each other.

Fig. 5 (a) is a perspective view of the front barrel 2. Fig. 5 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the front barrel 2. As shown in fig. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the front tube 2 has an opening 2a and a tube hole 2 b. The core holder 1 and the applicator M1 held by the core holder 1 are inserted into and removed from the opening 2 a. The cylindrical hole 2b continues from the opening 2a in the axial direction. The core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 is accommodated in the barrel hole 2b in the axial direction. The inner shape of the cylindrical hole 2b is, for example, a rectangular shape when viewed from the axial direction. The cylindrical hole 2b is defined by four faces extending in the axial direction.

The cylindrical hole 2b has a plurality of ribs 2 c. A plurality of ribs 2c extend in the axial direction on the inner surface of the cylindrical hole 2 b. The number of the ribs 2c is, for example, four. The ribs 2c are provided on four surfaces defining the cylindrical hole 2b, respectively. When the core holder 1 is accommodated in the cylindrical hole 2b, the slit 1d (see fig. 4) of the core holder 1 slides along the protrusion 2 c. The inner shape of the cylindrical hole 2b as viewed from the axial direction is similar to the outer shape of the core holder 1 as viewed from the axial direction.

The cylindrical hole 2b has a plurality of grooves 2 d. The groove 2d extends in the axial direction. The number of the grooves 2d is, for example, four. For example, two grooves 2d are provided on a pair of surfaces that define the cylindrical hole 2b and face each other. The grooves 2d are adjacent to the ridge 2c, and the pair of grooves 2d are disposed with the ridge 2c therebetween.

The cylindrical hole 2b has a stopper 8 for restricting the advance of the adsorbent holder 6 described later. The stopper 8 is formed, for example, on the rear side of the opening 2a (inner surface of the cylindrical hole 2 b). As an example, the stopper 8 is provided in each groove 2 d. I.e. the number of stops 8 is four. The stopper 8 is located at a portion of the groove 2d on the front side of the groove 2 d. The stopper 8 protrudes from the bottom surface of the groove 2 d. The stopper 8 forms a step intersecting with the direction in which the groove 2d extends (axial direction). The stopper 8 has a contact surface that contacts the absorbent body holder 6. The abutment surface is, for example, orthogonal to the axial direction. The abutment surface is, for example, a flat surface.

An inclined surface 2e is formed on the front side of the outer periphery of the front cylinder 2. The inclined surface 2e is inclined so as to become thinner toward the front tip. The inclined surface 2e is connected to the opening 2a at the front end of the front tube 2. A curved surface 2f and an engaging surface 2g that engages with the container body 3 are formed on the outer periphery of the rear side of the inclined surface 2 e. The engaging surface 2g is formed on the rear side of the curved surface 2 f. The outer diameter of the engaging surface 2g is smaller than the outer diameter of the curved surface 2f, for example. The engaging surface 2g has a first annular recess 2h, a second annular recess 2i, a third annular recess 2j, and an annular projection 2k formed from the front side.

The first annular recess 2h is a portion into which the O-ring 102 (see fig. 3) enters. In a state where the O-ring 102 enters the first annular recess 2h, the front cylinder 2 engages with the container body 3 and the tail plug 104 at the engagement surface 2 g. The first annular recess 2h and the second annular recess 2i of the engagement surface 2g are portions to be engaged with the container body 3. The third annular recessed portion 2j and the annular projecting portion 2k are portions that engage with the engagement portion 104h of the tail plug 104. The front barrel 104c of the tail plug 104 accommodates the rear side of the front barrel 2 and the container body 3. That is, front cylinder 104c is sandwiched between front cylinder 2 and container body 3 in the radial direction of front cylinder 104 c.

Fig. 6 (a) is a perspective view of the female screw member 4. Fig. 6 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the internally threaded member 4. As shown in fig. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the female screw member 4 includes a front cylinder 4a, a flange 4b, and a rear cylinder 4c from the front side. The flange portion 4b protrudes outward in the radial direction of the internally threaded member 4 between the front cylinder 4a and the rear cylinder 4c, and extends in the circumferential direction.

The female screw member 4 has a female screw 4d and a ridge 4 e. The female screw 4d is provided on the inner surface of the front barrel 4 a. The female screw 4d is formed in a spiral shape centering on the axis of the front barrel 4 a. The protrusion 4e extends in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the rear cylinder 4 c. The number of the ribs 4e is, for example, four. The ribs 4e are arranged in a circumferential direction.

As shown in fig. 3, an elastic member 103 is interposed between the front cylinder 2 and the female screw member 4. The elastic member 103 is, for example, a coil spring. One end of the elastic member 103 abuts against the flange portion 4b of the female screw member 4, and the other end of the elastic member 103 abuts against the rear end of the front tube 2. The female screw member 4 engages with the tail plug 104. The female screw member 4 is urged by the elastic member 103 so as to press against the tail plug 104 in the axial direction. The elastic member 103 urges the flange portion 4b of the internally threaded member 4 toward the step 104 g. The elastic member 103 maintains the state in which the ridge 4e of the female screw member 4 is engaged with the groove 104f of the tail plug 104. The ridge 4e of the female screw member 4 is engaged with the groove 104f of the tail plug 104 in the axial direction, whereby the female screw member 4 is engaged with the tail plug 104 so as to be rotatable in synchronization therewith. The tail plug 104 is engaged so as to be rotatable in synchronism with the container body 3, and therefore the female screw member 4 is rotated in synchronism with the container body 3. The elastic member 103 is interposed between the female screw member 4 and the front barrel 2, thereby protecting the applicator M1 held in the core holder 1 from impact and vibration inside the front barrel 2.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the moving body 5. As shown in fig. 7, the moving body 5 has a male screw 5a screwed into the female screw 4d and a contact piece 5b contacting the core clip 1. The male screw 5a is in the shape of a rod extending in the axial direction and is located on the rear side of the contact piece 5 b. The contact piece 5b has, for example, a claw 5c extending in the axial direction. The number of the claws 5c is, for example, two. The claw 5c has a U shape (for example, an arc shape) when viewed from the axial direction.

The claw 5c has a groove 5d on the outer periphery. The groove 5d extends in the axial direction at the outer periphery of the claw 5 c. The groove 5d of the pawl 5c engages with the protrusion 2c (see fig. 5) of the front barrel 2 and slides in the axial direction with respect to the protrusion 2 c. The groove 5d is a guide groove that guides the movable body 5 so as to move in the axial direction with respect to the front barrel 2.

The claw 5c has an inner peripheral surface. The inner peripheral surface of the claw 5c is curved in an arc shape with the axis of the moving body 5 as the center, for example, and extends in the axial direction. The claw 5c has a slit 5e and a projection 5 f. The slit 5e penetrates from the inner periphery to the outer periphery of the claw 5c, and extends in the axial direction. The slit 5e has, for example, a rectangular shape having a long side extending in the axial direction when viewed from the direction in which the slit 5e penetrates. A projection 5f is formed on the front side of the slit 5 e. The projection 5f projects on the inner periphery of the claw 5 c.

Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the adsorbent holder 6. As shown in fig. 8, the adsorbent holder 6 has an adsorbent holder main body 6a and a second adsorption member a 2. The second adsorption member a2 adsorbs to the first adsorption member a 1. The second adsorption member a2 is, for example, a magnetic body. The shape of the suction body holder main body 6a is a rectangular shape including straight sides facing each other and extending parallel to each other and sides facing each other and curved when viewed from the axial direction. The curved side is curved so as to bulge outward of the suction body holder main body 6 a. That is, the absorbent holder body 6a has, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape including flat surfaces facing each other and curved outward. The suction body holder body 6a has a hole for fixing the second suction member a2 at the front end and a support portion 6b at the rear end for supporting an elastic member 7 described later.

The suction material holder body 6a has, for example, a cylindrical hole extending rearward from the front end of the suction material holder 6. The second suction member a2 is fixed in a state of entering the cylindrical hole of the suction body holder body 6 a. The second suction member a2 projects forward from the front end of the suction body holder body 6a, for example.

The absorber holder body 6a has a groove 6c in the outer periphery. The groove 6c extends in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the adsorber holder body 6 a. The adsorbent holder body 6a has, for example, a plurality of grooves 6 c. As an example, the number of the grooves 6c is two. The grooves 6c are provided on the curved surfaces of the respective suction body holder bodies 6a facing each other. The groove 6c of the adsorber holder body 6a is engaged with the projection 5f of the claw 5c of the moving body 5 (see fig. 7). The absorber holder main body 6a slides in the axial direction with respect to the projection 5 f. A projection 6d projecting from the bottom surface of the groove 6c is formed on the rear side of the groove 6 c.

The absorbent holder body 6a has a plurality of wing portions 6e on the outer periphery. The wing portion 6e protrudes on the outer periphery of the absorber holder main body 6a, and extends rearward from the front end of the absorber holder 6. The number of the wing portions 6e is, for example, four. Two wing portions 6e are provided on the curved surfaces of the suction body holder main body 6a facing each other. The wing portions 6e protrude in a direction in which the flat surfaces of the absorber holder main body 6a face each other. The wing portions 6e of the suction body holder main body 6a engage with the grooves 2d (see fig. 5 b) of the front tube 2, and slide in the axial direction with respect to the front tube 2. When the absorbent holder 6 moves to a predetermined position (advances) in the axial direction, the wing portions 6e of the absorbent holder main body 6a come into contact with the stopper 8 of the front tube 2.

Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the applicator M1, the core holder 1 holding the applicator M1, the moving body 5, the adsorbent holder 6, and the elastic member 7. As shown in fig. 3 and 9, the moving body 5, the elastic member 7, the adsorbent holder 6, the core holder 1, and the applicator M1 are arranged in an axial direction from the rear side. The absorbent holder 6 is disposed with the second absorbent member a2 facing forward, and the core clip 1 is disposed with the first absorbent member a1 facing rearward. The first adsorption member a1 and the second adsorption member a2 contact each other and adsorb each other.

The elastic member 7 supports the absorber holder 6 and is interposed between the absorber holder 6 and the moving body 5. The elastic member 7 is, for example, a coil spring. One end of the elastic member 7 is engaged with the supporting portion 6b of the absorber holder 6, and the other end of the elastic member 7 abuts against the contact piece 5b of the moving body 5. The elastic member 7 is accommodated in a space inside the contact piece 5b formed radially inside the plurality of claws 5 c. The elastic member 7 urges the absorbent holder 6 forward.

The elastic member 7 and the suction body holder 6 are disposed between the pair of claws 5c of the contact piece 5 b. The suction body holder 6 slides along the axis in a state where the groove 6c (see fig. 8) of the suction body holder 6 is engaged with the projection 5f (see fig. 7) of the claw 5 c. The absorbent holder 6 is biased by the elastic member 7 so that the projection 6d of the absorbent holder 6 abuts against the projection 5f of the claw 5 c. The wing portion 6e of the adsorbent holder 6 projects from between the pair of claws 5c, for example. The wing portions 6e of the absorber holder 6 protrude radially outward from the outer shape of the moving body 5 when viewed in the axial direction.

The core clip 1 abuts on the front end of the moving body 5. More specifically, the front ends of the claws 5c of the contact pieces 5b abut against the rear ends of the claws 1c of the core holder 1. The slit 1d of the core holder 1 and the groove 5d of the moving body 5 are continuous in the axial direction. The slit 1d and the groove 5d engage with the projection 2c of the cylindrical hole 2b and slide in the axial direction with respect to the projection 2 c. The moving body 5 moves the core holder 1 by pushing forward.

The procedure for using the applicator delivery container 100 configured as described above will be described. First, the lid 101 is detached from the front tube 2, and the front tube 2 and the container body 3 are rotated in one direction relative to each other. When the front cylinder 2 and the container body 3 are relatively rotated in one direction, the container body 3 and the female screw member 4 are rotated in synchronization, and the screwing action of the female screw 4d of the female screw member 4 and the male screw 5a of the movable body 5 acts to move the movable body 5 forward. The moving body 5 moving forward moves the core clamp 1 holding the applicator M1 forward. As described above, the applicator M1 is fed out by the relative rotation of the front cylinder 2 and the container body 3 in one direction, and the applicator M1 protrudes forward from the opening 2a of the front cylinder 2. The applicator M1 protruding forward from the opening 2a of the front tube 2 is applied to a part to be applied (for example, the skin of a user when the applicator M1 is a cosmetic product) and used.

When the front cylinder 2 and the container body 3 are relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the one direction after the applicator M1 is used, the moving member 5 moves rearward. When the moving body 5 moves backward, the suction body holder 6 moves backward together with the moving body 5. The first suction member a1 of the core clip 1 and the second suction member a2 of the absorbent holder 6 are sucked to each other, and therefore, when the absorbent holder 6 moves rearward, the core clip 1 moves rearward. Therefore, the applicator M1 protruding forward from the opening 2a of the front cylinder 2 is inserted into the cylinder hole 2 b.

Fig. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the applicator feed container 100 in which the core holder 1 holding the applicator M1 is moved forward. In fig. 10, the applicator M1 is at the limit of advancement of the applicator M1. At this time, the core holder 1 moves until the adsorbent holder 6 moving together with the core holder 1 stops moving at a predetermined position. In the present disclosure, the "predetermined position" indicates a position of the absorber holder where the moving body is allowed to advance but the advance of the absorber holder is restricted by the stopper. In the present embodiment, the "predetermined position" is a position at which the wing portion 6e (see fig. 8) of the absorbent body holder 6 contacts the stopper 8 (see fig. 5) of the front tube 2. That is, the stopper 8 stops the movement of the adsorbent holder 6 located at a predetermined position toward the front.

Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the applicator feed container 100 in which the core holder 1 holding the applicator M1 is separated from the adsorbent holder 6. In fig. 11, the core clamp 1 is located forward of the position of the core clamp 1 in fig. 10. The moving body 5 moves forward relative to the adsorber holder 6 stopped by the stopper 8. Specifically, the movable body 5 and the core clip 1 move forward relative to the absorber holder 6 in which the wing portion 6e abuts against the stopper 8 and stops. With this advance, the elastic member 7 sandwiched between the absorber holder 6 and the moving body 5 contracts. The moving body 5 pushes out the core holder 1 forward so that the core holder 1 is separated from the adsorber holder 6.

When the first adsorption member a1 held in the core clip 1 is separated from the second adsorption member a2 held in the adsorbent holder 6, the magnetic force between the first adsorption member a1 and the second adsorption member a2 varies according to the distance of the first adsorption member a1 and the second adsorption member a 2. When the first adsorption member a1 is separated from the second adsorption member a2, the magnetic force between the first adsorption member a1 and the second adsorption member a2 gradually weakens, and the core clip 1 can be separated from the front barrel 2. For example, when one of the first suction member a1 and the second suction member is a metal member (iron as an example) and the other is a magnet, if the distance between the first suction member a1 and the second suction member a2 is 4.5mm or more, the magnetic force between the first suction member a1 and the second suction member a2 is very weak, and the core clip 1 can be separated from the front barrel 2.

As described above, the applicator M1 is fed forward by the operation of relatively rotating the front barrel 2 and the container body 3 in one direction, and the applicator M1 is supplied for use. After the adsorbent holder 6 has moved to a predetermined position (i.e., after the applicator M1 has moved to the advance limit), the front barrel 2 and the container body 3 are further rotated relative to each other in one direction, whereby the applicator M1 and the core clamps 1 holding the applicator M1 are separated from the adsorbent holder 6, and the applicator M1 and the core clamps 1 holding the applicator M1 are removed from the front barrel 2. The applicator feed container 100, from which the applicator M1 and the core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 are detached from the front barrel 2, is attached with a new applicator M1 and the core clip holding the new applicator M1, thereby completing the replacement of the applicator M1. The method of replacing the applicator M1 will be described in detail later.

Next, the operational effects obtained by the applicator delivery container 100 of the present embodiment will be described in detail. In the applicator delivery container 100, the core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 is inserted into and removed from the opening 2a of the front tube 2. The front barrel 2 is engaged with the container body 3 in the axial direction of the front barrel 2 so as to be relatively rotatable. A female screw member 4 having a female screw 4d is provided inside the container body 3. The moving body 5 has a male screw 5a screwed with the female screw 4 d. The moving body 5 moves the core clip 1 in the axial direction by the screwing action of the internal thread 4d and the external thread 5 a. The absorbent holder 6 having the second absorbent member a2 absorbed by the first absorbent member a1 of the core clip 1 moves in the axial direction together with the core clip 1.

When the adsorbent holder 6 and the core holder 1 move in the direction of pushing out the application material M1 from the opening 2a, the adsorbent holder 6 stops moving due to the stopper 8 when the adsorbent holder 6 and the core holder 1 move to predetermined positions. When the applicator M1 is replaced, the moving member 5 moves the core holder 1 further forward from the predetermined position. Thereby, the core holder 1 is separated from the adsorbent holder 6, and the applicator M1 and the core holder 1 gripping the applicator M1 are removed from the applicator delivery container 100.

Therefore, only the applicator M1 and the core clip 1 that grips the applicator M1 can be replaced, and therefore the number of parts to be discarded can be reduced. In the applicator delivery container 100, the moving body 5 moves the core holder 1 relative to the adsorbent holder 6 stopped by the stopper 8. At this time, the core holder 1 can be moved further forward by relatively displacing the first suction member a1 of the core holder 1 with respect to the second suction member a2 of the absorbent body holder 6. Therefore, the movement of the moving body 5 separates the core holder 1 from the adsorbent holder 6, and the applicator M1 and the core holder 1 can be removed from the applicator delivery container 100. Thereby, the applicator M1 can be easily replaced.

As described above, the inner shape of the cylindrical hole 2b when viewed from the axial direction may be similar to the outer shape of the core clip 1 when viewed from the axial direction. In this case, by making the outer shape of the core holder 1 holding the applicator M1 similar to the inner shape of the cylindrical hole 2b, the replacement of the pre-designated genuine applicator M1 and the core holder 1 can be facilitated.

The applicator delivery container 100 of the present embodiment may include: and an elastic member 7 which supports the absorber holder 6 and is interposed between the absorber holder 6 and the moving body 5. In this case, in order to replace the applicator M1, when the core clip 1 with the applicator M1 enters the opening 2a of the front tube 2 and the core clip 1 abuts against the absorbent holder 6, the impact force applied to the absorbent holder 6 can be relaxed by the elastic member 7.

The first suction member a1 and the second suction member a2 may be magnetic bodies. In this case, the first suction member a1 of the core clip 1 can be attracted to the second suction member a2 of the absorbent body holder 6. Therefore, even if the core holder 1 and the absorbent body holder 6 do not contact each other, the core holder and the absorbent body holder can be easily absorbed by being brought close to each other.

The first embodiment of the applicator delivery container of the present disclosure is explained above. However, the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment described above, and may be modified within the scope not changing the gist described in the claims. That is, the shape, size, number, material, and arrangement of the respective members constituting the applicator delivery container 100 may be appropriately changed within the scope not departing from the gist described above.

(second embodiment)

Fig. 12 is a sectional view showing an applicator delivery container 200 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Since a part of the configuration of the applicator delivery container 200 overlaps with a part of the configuration of the applicator delivery container 100 described above, a description overlapping with the above description will be appropriately omitted below.

The applicator delivery container 200 includes: a front barrel 22; and a cylindrical container body 23. The core holder 21 holding the applicator M2 is moved into and out of the front barrel 22. The container body 23 is coupled to a rear end portion of the front tube 22, and is engaged with the front tube 22 so as to be rotatable relative thereto. The applicator delivery container 200 further includes: and a lid 201 accommodating the front barrel 22. The applicator delivery container 200 includes a cylindrical female screw member 24 and a moving body 25. The female screw member 24 is engaged with the container body 23 in the container body 23 so as to be rotatable in synchronization therewith. The internally threaded member 24 has an internal thread 24d on the inner surface. The moving body 25 has a male screw 25b screwed with the female screw 24d of the female screw member 24.

Fig. 13 (a) is a perspective view of the front barrel 22. Fig. 13 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the front barrel 22. As shown in fig. 13 (a) and 13 (b), the front cylinder 22 has an opening 22c and a cylinder bore 22 d. The core holder 21 and the applicator M2 held by the core holder 21 are inserted into and removed from the opening 22 c. The cylindrical hole 22d continues from the opening 22c in the axial direction. As an example, the front cylinder 22 has a shape in which two cylinders having different outer diameters are connected in front of each other. The front barrel 22 has a front barrel 22a and a rear barrel 22b having a smaller outer diameter than the front barrel 22 a. As an example, the front cylinder 22 has a stepped cylindrical shape having a step between the front cylinder 22a and the rear cylinder 22 b. The rear cylinder 22b is engaged with the container body 23 in a state of being accommodated in the container body 23.

The cylinder hole 22d is provided in the front cylinder 22 a. The rear cylinder 22b is provided with a through hole 22e communicating with the cylinder hole 22 d. The shape of the cylindrical hole 22d and the through hole 22e is, for example, circular when viewed from the axial direction. The inner diameter of the through hole 22e is smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical hole 22 d. Thereby, a step that connects the cylinder hole 22d and the through hole 22e to each other and extends in the radial direction is formed at the front cylinder 22.

The bore 22d has a protrusion 22 g. The projection 22g extends in the axial direction on the inner surface of the cylindrical hole 22 d. The number of the ribs 22g is four, for example. The ribs 22g are arranged in a circumferential direction. As an example, the ribs 22g are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The inner shape of the cylindrical hole 22d is, for example, a circular shape provided with a convex portion formed by four ridges 22g when viewed from the axial direction. Note that the cylinder bore 22d does not have a stopper.

The through hole 22e has a protrusion 22 h. The projection 22h projects from the inner surface of the rear cylinder 22b defining the through hole 22 e. The number of the projections 22h is, for example, two. For example, the pair of projections 22h are disposed so as to face each other with the axis of the front cylinder 22 interposed therebetween. An annular concave portion 22i and an annular convex portion 22j are formed on the rear side of the projection 22 h. The annular recessed portion 22i and the annular projecting portion 22j extend in the circumferential direction on the inner surface of the rear cylinder 22b defining the through hole 22 e. The annular concave portion 22i and the annular convex portion 22j are portions to be engaged with the female screw member 24.

Fig. 14 (a) is a perspective view of the container body 23. Fig. 14 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the container main body 23. The container body 23 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, for example. As an example, the container body 23 has a cylindrical shape having no step on the outer peripheral surface. The rear end of the container main body 23 is closed by a bottom surface 23 a. The bottom surface 23a is provided with a through hole penetrating in the axial direction. As an example, the inner surface of the container body 23 has a stepped cylindrical shape.

The front cylindrical surface 23b has an engagement portion 23d, an annular projection 23e, and a knurled surface 23f from the front side. The engaging portion 23d is located at the front end of the container body 23. The engaging portion 23d is recessed in the front cylindrical surface 23b and extends in the circumferential direction. The engaging portion 23d extends rearward from the front end of the front tubular surface 23 b. A part of the front side portion of the front cylindrical surface 23b is expanded in diameter by the engaging portion 23 d. The annular projection 23e is disposed behind the engagement portion 23 d. The annular projection 23e extends in the circumferential direction on the front cylindrical surface 23 b. The knurled surface 23f is disposed on the rear side of the annular projection 23 e. The knurled surface 23f is formed by a plurality of grooves recessed in the front cylindrical surface 23b and extending in the axial direction.

The rear cylindrical surface 23c has a plurality of ribs 23 g. The plurality of ribs 23g extend in the axial direction on the inner surface of the rear cylindrical surface 23 c. The number of the ribs 23g is, for example, four.

Fig. 15 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the spring member 202. As shown in fig. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the spring member 202 has a cylindrical shape as an example. The spring member 202 has a spring portion 202a, a rear tube 202b, a flange portion 202c, and a front tube 202d from the rear side. When the spring member 202 is engaged with the container main body 23, the spring portion 202a and the rear cylinder 202b of the spring member 202 are accommodated in the container main body 23.

The spring portion 202a is formed of a resin spring that is stretchable in the axial direction. The spring portion 202a includes a main body portion 202e and a slit 202f along the circumferential surface of the main body portion 202e and communicating the inside and outside of the main body portion 202 e. The slit 202f has a first extending portion 202g extending in the circumferential direction of the spring member 202, an inclined portion 202h extending obliquely rearward from an end portion in the circumferential direction of the first extending portion 202g, and a second extending portion 202i extending in the circumferential direction of the spring member 202 from a rear end of the inclined portion 202 h.

The rear cylinder 202b is a portion engaged with the container main body 23. The rear cylinder 202b has a ridge 202j, an annular projection 202k, and an annular recess 202 m. The projection 202j is located on the front side of the spring portion 202 a. The rib 202j extends in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the rear cylinder 202 b. The number of the ribs 202j is, for example, four. The ribs 202j are arranged in the circumferential direction of the rear cylinder 202 b. The projection 202j engages with the knurled surface 23f (see fig. 14) of the container body 23.

The annular projection 202k is located forward of the ridge 202 j. The annular projection 202k extends in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the rear cylinder 202 b. The annular recess 202m extends in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the rear cylinder 202 b. The annular recessed portion 202m engages with the annular projecting portion 23e of the container body 23 in the axial direction.

The flange portion 202c protrudes outward in the radial direction of the spring member 202 between the rear cylinder 202b and the front cylinder 202d, and extends in the circumferential direction. The flange 202c abuts against the engagement portion 23d of the container main body 23 from the front.

The front barrel 202d is a portion that accommodates the front barrel 22 and is accommodated in the cover 201. The front tube 202d has a projection 202n, a ridge 202p, and an inclined surface 202q from the rear side. The projections 202n are arranged in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the front cylinder 202 d. The number of the projections 202n is, for example, three. The projection 202p extends in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the front cylinder 202 d. The number of the ribs 202p is, for example, three. The ribs 202p and the projections 202n are arranged in the axial direction. The ribs 202p are arranged so as to be aligned in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the front cylinder 202 d. The inclined surface 202q extends in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the front barrel 202 d. The inclined surface 202q is inclined such that the outer diameter of the front barrel 202d becomes smaller as the front end of the front barrel 202d is closer.

A chamfer 202r and an annular recess 202s are formed on the inner surface of the front cylinder 202 d. The chamfer 202r is provided on the front side of the annular recess 202 s. The chamfer 202r is inclined so that the inner diameter of the front tube 202d increases as the front end of the front tube 202d approaches. The annular recess 202s extends in the circumferential direction on the inner surface of the front barrel 202 d.

As shown in fig. 12, a cylindrical female screw member 24 is provided inside the container body 23. Fig. 16 (a) is a perspective view of the female screw member 24. Fig. 16 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the internally threaded member 24. As shown in fig. 16 (a) and 16 (b), the female screw member 24 includes a front cylinder 24a, a flange 24b, and a rear cylinder 24c from the front side. The flange portion 24b protrudes to the radially outer side of the internally threaded member 24 between the front cylinder 24a and the rear cylinder 24c, and extends in the circumferential direction.

The female screw member 24 has a female screw 24d, a ridge 24e, an annular projection 24f, and an annular recess 24 g. The female screw 24d is provided on the inner surface of the front barrel 24 a. The protrusion 24e extends in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the rear cylinder 24 c. The number of the ribs 24e is, for example, eight. The ribs 24e are arranged in the circumferential direction of the female screw member 24. The front barrel 24a is accommodated inside the front barrel 22. The portion of the front barrel 22 that accommodates the front barrel 24a is accommodated inside the spring member 202. The annular convex portion 24f and the annular concave portion 24g are provided on the outer periphery of the front tube 24a, and the annular concave portion 22i and the annular convex portion 22j of the front tube 22 are engaged with each other in the axial direction. As shown in fig. 12, the spring member 202 urges the flange portion 24b of the female screw member 24 toward the container main body 23 (the ridge 23 g). The ridge 24e of the female screw member 24 is engaged with the ridge 23g of the container body 23 in the axial direction.

Fig. 17 (a) is a perspective view of the moving body 25. Fig. 17 (b) is a cross-sectional perspective view of the moving body 25. As shown in fig. 17 (a) and 17 (b), the moving body 25 has a contact cylinder 25a and an external thread 25 b. The contact cylinder 25a has a flange portion 25c and a hole 25 d. The male screw 25b has a through hole 25e and a groove 25 f. The external thread 25b has, for example, a plurality of grooves 25 f. The hole 25d extends in the axial direction from the front end of the contact cylinder 25 a. The hole 25d accommodates the adsorbent holder 26 and the elastic member 27. The shape of the hole 25d is, for example, circular when viewed from the axial direction.

The contact tube 25a has a bottomed tubular shape, for example. The flange portion 25c is disposed at the front end of the contact cylinder 25 a. The flange portion 25c protrudes radially outward from the outer periphery of the contact cylinder 25a and extends in the circumferential direction. The flange portion 25c is provided with a plurality of concave portions 25 g. The recess 25g is recessed radially inward on the outer periphery of the flange 25 c. The number of the recesses 25g is, for example, four. The recesses 25g are arranged in the circumferential direction of the flange 25 c. The recess 25g engages with the projection 22g (see fig. 13 (b)) of the front tube 22. The recess 25g functions as a guide for guiding the movable body 25 so that the movable body 25 moves in the axial direction with respect to the front cylinder 22.

The male screw 25b is rod-shaped and extends in the axial direction, and is located on the rear side of the contact cylinder 25 a. The external thread 25b has an outer diameter smaller than that of the contact cylinder 25 a. The external thread 25b is provided with a through hole 25 e. The through hole 25e penetrates the entire male screw 25b in the axial direction, for example. The through hole 25e penetrates from the bottom surface of the hole 25d of the contact cylinder 25a to the rear end of the male screw 25 b. A shaft 26b of an absorber holder 26 described later is inserted into the through hole 25 e.

The groove 25f extends in the axial direction on the outer periphery of the external thread 25 b. The groove 25f extends, for example, along the entirety of the male screw 25b, and continues in a recess formed in the rear end of the contact cylinder 25 a. The number of the grooves 25f is, for example, two. The pair of grooves 25f are arranged to face each other in the radial direction of the male screw 25 b. The groove 25f engages with the projection 22h (see fig. 13 b) of the front tube 22 and slides along the projection 22 h. The groove 25f functions as a stopper for the front cylinder 22 by the movable body 25.

Fig. 18 is a perspective view of the adsorbent holder 26. As shown in fig. 18, the absorber holder 26 includes an absorber holder main body 26a, a shaft 26b, and a second absorbing member a 2. The adsorbent holder main body 26a has, for example, a cylindrical shape. The suction body holder main body 26a is accommodated in the hole 25d of the moving body 25 (see fig. 17 (a) and 17 (b)). An elastic member 27 is accommodated in the hole 25d of the moving body 25 on the rear side of the suction body holder main body 26a (see fig. 12). A shaft 26b is inserted through the elastic member 27. One end of the elastic member 27 abuts on the rear end of the absorber holder main body 26a, and the other end of the elastic member 27 abuts on the bottom surface of the hole 25 d. The absorber holder main body 26a has a hole at the front end for holding the second adsorption member a 2. The second suction member a2 is fixed in a state of entering the inside of the hole of the suction body holder 26. The shaft 26b extends rearward from the rear end of the suction body holder body 26 a. The shaft 26b has a cylindrical shape, for example. The outer diameter of the shaft 26b is smaller than the outer diameter of the adsorbent holder body 26 a. An annular recess 26c is provided at a rear end portion (a region including a certain range from the rear end) of the shaft 26 b. The annular recess 26c extends in the circumferential direction of the shaft 26 b.

Fig. 19 is a perspective view of the core clip 21. The core holder 21 is cylindrical as an example. The core clip 21 includes a grip 21b, a first suction member holding portion 21a, and a first suction member a1 (see fig. 12). The grip 21b grips the applicator M2 in a manner of pinching in the radial direction. The first adsorption member holding part 21a holds the first adsorption member a 1.

The grip portion 21b has a plurality of claws 21 c. The plurality of claws 21c extend in the axial direction. For example, the number of the claws 21c is four. The claws 21c are arranged to be aligned in the circumferential direction of the core holder 21. For example, the claws 21c are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. The inner surfaces of the claws 21c are curved in an arc shape in the circumferential direction of the core holder 21 as an example when viewed in the axial direction. The claw 21c has a projection 21d and an inclined surface 21e on its inner surface.

The inclined surface 21e constitutes a part of the inner surface of the claw 21 c. The inclined surface 21e is inclined so as to widen outward in the radial direction of the core holder 21 as it goes forward. The inner diameter of the inner surface of the claw 21c is different before and after the inclined surface 21 e. The inner diameter of the front side of the claw 21c is larger than the inner diameter of the rear side of the claw 21 c. The inclined surface 21e connects the front inner surface (front inner surface) of the inclined surface 21e and the rear inner surface of the inclined surface 21e having a smaller inner diameter than the front inner surface.

The projection 21d extends in the axial direction on the inner surface of the claw 21 c. The height of the ridge 21d in the inner surface of the claw 21c is constant. That is, the height of the ridge 21d in the radial direction is constant at the inner surface of the rear side of the claw 21c, the inclined surface 21e, and the inner surface of the front side of the claw 21 c. In other words, the upper surface of each of the ribs 21d is a smooth surface extending in the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the core holder 21. When the grip portion 21b grips the applicator M2, the ridge 21d bites into the applicator M2. Thereby, the applicator M2 is firmly held by the grip portion 21 b.

Slits 21f are formed between a pair of claws 21c adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. As an example, the number of the slits 21f is four. The applicator M2 held by the core clip 21 is exposed in each slit 21 f. The slit 21f is a through hole through which the applicator M2 is exposed. The slit 21f slides along the projection 22g (see fig. 13 b) of the cylindrical hole 22d of the front cylinder 22. The shape of the core holder 21 as viewed from the axial direction is similar to the shape of the cylindrical hole 22d as viewed from the axial direction.

Fig. 20 (a) is a perspective view of the stopper 28. Fig. 20 (b) is a sectional perspective view of the stopper 28. As shown in fig. 20 (a) and 20 (b), the stopper 28 has a front barrel 28a and a rear barrel 28b having a larger outer diameter than the front barrel 28 a. As an example, the stopper 28 has a stepped cylindrical shape. The stopper 28 has a through hole 28c extending in the axial direction. The through hole 28c penetrates the entire stopper 28 (the front tube 28a and the rear tube 28b) in the axial direction, for example.

The stopper 28 has a reduced diameter portion 28d protruding radially inward of the rear cylinder 28b and a slit 28e opening in the rear cylinder 28 b. The reduced diameter portion 28d protrudes radially inward in the through hole 28c of the rear cylinder 28 b. The reduced diameter portion 28d extends in the circumferential direction of the rear cylinder 28 b. The reduced diameter portion 28d is engaged in the axial direction in the annular recess 26c of the shaft 26 b. The stopper 28 moves in the axial direction together with the adsorbent holder 26 (shaft 26 b).

The slit 28e penetrates the rear tube 28b in the radial direction of the rear tube 28 b. The slit 28e is, for example, a rectangular hole including long sides that face each other and extend in the axial direction and short sides that face each other. The slit 28e penetrates the reduced diameter portion 28d, for example.

Fig. 21 is a sectional view of the applicator delivery container 200 in which the core holder 21 holding the applicator M2 is moved forward. In fig. 21, the applicator M2 is at the advance limit of the applicator M2. The core clamp 21 is moved until the movement of the adsorbent holder 26, which moves together with the core clamp 21, is stopped at a predetermined position. In the present embodiment, the "predetermined position" refers to a position of the absorbent material holder 26 when the stopper 28 engaged with the shaft 26b of the absorbent material holder 26 in the axial direction is in contact with the rear end of the female screw member 24. The stopper 28 stops the movement of the adsorbent holder 26 located at a predetermined position toward the front.

Fig. 22 is a sectional view of the applicator delivery container 200 in which the core holder 21 holding the applicator M2 is separated from the adsorbent holder 26. In fig. 22, the core clamp 21 is located forward of the position of the core clamp 21 in fig. 21. The moving body 25 moves forward relative to the stopper 28 and the adsorbent holder 26, which are stopped by the stopper 28 abutting against the female screw member 24. With this advance, the first suction member a1 of the core clip 21 is separated from the second suction member a2 of the absorbent body holder 26, and the elastic member 27 contracts. The moving body 25 pushes out the core holder 21 forward so that the core holder 21 is separated from the suction body holder 26.

As described above, the applicator M2 is fed forward by the operation of relatively rotating the front cylinder 22 and the container body 23 in one direction, and the applicator M2 is used. After the adsorbent holder 26 is moved to a prescribed position (i.e., after the applicator M2 is moved to the advance limit), the front barrel 22 and the container body 23 are relatively rotated in one direction, whereby the applicator M2 and the core gripper 21 holding the applicator M2 are separated from the adsorbent holder 26 and the applicator M2 and the core gripper 21 holding the applicator M2 are detached from the front barrel 22. For example, the first suction member a1 held by the core clip 21 is separated from the second suction member a2 held by the absorbent holder 26, and the core clip 21 can be separated from the front tube 22. The core holder 21 is detached from the front barrel 22, and a new applicator M2 and a core holder holding a new applicator M2 are attached to the applicator delivery container 200 from which the core holder 21 is detached from the front barrel 22, whereby the replacement of the applicator M2 is completed.

Next, the operational effects obtained by the applicator delivery container 200 of the present embodiment will be described. In the applicator delivery container 200, the core holder 21 holding the applicator M2 is inserted into and removed from the opening 22c of the front tube 22. The front cylinder 22 is engaged with the container main body 23 in the axial direction of the front cylinder 22 so as to be relatively rotatable. A female screw member 24 having a female screw 24d is provided inside the container body 23. The moving body 25 has a male screw 25b screwed with the female screw 24 d. The moving body 5 moves the core clip 21 in the axial direction by the screwing action of the internal thread 24d and the external thread 25 b. The absorbent holder 26 having the second absorbent member a2 absorbed by the first absorbent member a1 of the core clip 21 moves in the axial direction together with the core clip 21.

When the adsorbent holder 26 and the core holder 21 move in the direction of pushing out the application material M2 from the opening 22c, the adsorbent holder 26 stops moving due to the stopper 28 when the adsorbent holder 26 and the core holder 21 move to predetermined positions. When the applicator M2 is replaced, the moving member 25 moves the core clamp 21 further forward from the predetermined position. Thereby, the core holder 21 is separated from the adsorbent holder 26, and the applicator M2 and the core holder 21 holding the applicator M2 are removed from the applicator delivery container 200.

Therefore, only the applicator M2 and the core clip 21 holding the applicator M2 can be replaced, and the number of parts to be discarded can be reduced. In the applicator delivery container 200, the moving member 25 moves the core holder 21 relative to the adsorbent holder 26 stopped by the stopper 28. At this time, the core holder 21 can be moved further forward by relatively displacing the first suction member a1 of the core holder 21 with respect to the second suction member a2 of the absorbent body holder 26. Therefore, the movement of the moving body 25 separates the core holder 21 from the adsorbent holder 26, and the applicator M2 and the core holder 21 can be removed from the applicator delivery container 200. Thereby, the applicator M2 can be easily replaced.

In the applicator delivery container 200, the stopper 28 is disposed behind the moving body 25. This makes it possible to reduce the diameter of the applicator delivery container 200 compared to the case where the stopper 28 is disposed radially outward of the moving body 25. Therefore, the size reduction of the applicator delivery container 200 is facilitated.

(applicator replacement member)

Fig. 23 is a side view of the applicator replacement member 300 of the present embodiment. Fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view of a coating element replacement member 300. The applicator replacement member 300 is used, for example, for replacement of the applicator M1 of the applicator delivery container 100 and the core clip 1 that grips the applicator M1. The applicator replacement member 300 includes: coating member M1; a core holder 1 holding the coating member M1 and having a first adsorption member a1 (adsorption member); and a replacement magazine 31. The applicator replacement member 300 further includes a cover 301. In the present embodiment, "front" indicates a direction from the cover toward the replacement cassette in the axial direction, and "rear" indicates a direction from the replacement cassette toward the cover in the axial direction.

As shown in fig. 24, the replacement magazine 31 is, for example, a cylindrical shape having a long dimension in the axial direction. As an example, the replacement magazine 31 extends in the axial direction, and has a diameter-enlarged portion that is enlarged radially outward from the rear side of the replacement magazine 31. As an example, the shape of the applicator replacement member 300 as viewed from the axial direction is a rectangular shape including long sides facing each other and short sides facing each other. The short sides facing each other are curved so as to bulge outward of the replacement cassette 31. The exchange cassette 31 is transparent, for example. This makes it possible to visually confirm the applicator M1 and the core clip 1 inside the replacement magazine 31.

The replacement magazine 31 has a housing portion 31 a. The accommodating portion 31a accommodates the applicator M1 and the core clip 1 gripping the applicator M1. As an example, the accommodating portion 31a extends forward from the rear end of the replacement cassette 31. The accommodating portion 31a is formed in a step shape gradually expanding outward in the radial direction toward the rear side of the replacement cartridge 31. The replacement box 31 has a flange portion 31b and a plate material 31 c. The flange portion 31b is located at the tip of the replacement cartridge 31, protrudes radially outward from the outer periphery of the replacement cartridge 31, and extends in the circumferential direction. The plate 31c closes the tip of the flange 31 b. The plate member 31c extends in the radial direction of the replacement box 31 along the flange portion 31 b.

The receiving portion 31a of the replacement magazine 31 is provided with a support portion 31d and a tapered surface 31 f. The support portion 31d is recessed radially outward in the accommodating portion 31a, and extends in the circumferential direction. The support portion 31d extends in the axial direction. The support portion 31d expands a part of the rear portion of the housing portion 31 a. A step 31e extending in the radial direction is provided between the support portion 31d and a portion on the front side of the support portion 31d (the inner surface of the accommodating portion 31a where the support portion 31d is not provided). The step 31e connects the front portion and the support portion 31d to each other. The core holder 1 for holding the applicator M1 is disposed on the support portion 31 d. The core holder 1 slides with respect to the support portion 31d, and moves in the axial direction. The core clip 1 is supported by the support portion 31d in a state where the tip of the core clip 1 abuts on the step 31 e.

The tapered surface 31f is inclined so as to expand outward in the radial direction from the support portion 31d toward the rear end of the replacement pocket 31. The inclination of the tapered surface 31f may be set to substantially coincide with the inclination of the inclined surface 2e of the front tube 2, for example. When the inclined surface 2e (see fig. 5 (a)) of the front tube 2 abuts against the tapered surface 31f, for example, the axis of the front tube 2, the axis of the replacement cassette 31, and the axis of the core holder 1 supported by the replacement cassette 31 may be arranged so as to overlap on a straight line.

For example, the lid 301 has a bottomed cylindrical shape. The cover 301 is engaged with the rear side of the replacement cassette 31. The cover 301 abuts on the rear end of the replacement cassette 31 and seals the accommodation portion 31a of the replacement cassette 31. The cover 301 has, for example: a bottom surface extending in a radial direction; and an outer tube portion 301a and an inner tube portion 301b that protrude forward from the bottom surface and extend in the circumferential direction. The outer tube 301a engages with the outer periphery of the replacement cassette 31. The inner tube portion 301b is located between the axis of the cover 301 and the outer tube portion 301 a. The inner tube portion 301b enters between the tapered surface 31f and the core holder 1 (first suction member holding portion 1 a). The core clip 1 is sandwiched between the cover 301 (inner tube portion 301b) and the replacement magazine 31 (step 31 e).

Fig. 25 (a), 25 (b), 25 (c), 26 (a), 26 (b) and 26 (c) show the steps of the method for replacing the applicator M1 according to the present embodiment. Fig. 25 (a) is a view showing a step of separating the core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 from the applicator delivery container 100. In this step, after the applicator M1 is moved to the advance limit, the front barrel 2 and the container body 3 are further relatively rotated in one direction. At this time, the moving body 5 moves the core clamper 1 forward relative to the adsorbent holder 6 stopped by the stopper 8, and separates the core clamper 1 from the adsorbent holder 6. As shown in fig. 25 (a), the applicator delivery container 100 is disposed such that the opening 2a of the front tube 2 faces downward. The core holder 1 is separated from the adsorbent holder 6 by the relative rotation in the above-described one direction, and falls downward from the applicator delivery container 100 (front barrel 2) by gravity.

Fig. 25 (b) shows a previous process of attaching a new applicator M1 and the core clip 1 to the applicator delivery container 100. In the state shown in fig. 25 (b), the front cylinder 2 and the container body 3 are relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the one direction. The front tube 2 and the container body 3 are relatively rotated in the direction opposite to the one direction, and the adsorbent holder 6 and the moving body 5 are moved rearward. In this step, for example, as shown in fig. 3, the adsorbent holder 6 and the moving body 5 are moved to a position (initial position) before the application M1 is sent out.

Fig. 25 (c) is a diagram showing a step of preparing the applicator replacement member 300. As shown in fig. 25 (c), the applicator delivery container 100 is disposed such that the opening 2a of the front barrel 2 faces downward. The applicator replacement member 300 is configured to detach the cover 301 and orient the first adsorption member a1 of the core clip 1 upward. In the example of fig. 25 (c), the outer shape of the core holder 1 as viewed in the axial direction is similar to the inner shape of the front barrel 2 as viewed in the axial direction, and the outer shape of the front barrel 2 as viewed in the axial direction is similar to the inner shape of the applicator replacement member 300 (replacement magazine 31) as viewed in the axial direction. These shapes are those having long sides facing each other and short sides facing each other and curved so as to protrude outward. For example, the front tube 2 is opposed to the applicator replacement member 300 such that the long side of the front tube 2 is positioned directly above the long side of the applicator replacement member 300 and the short side of the front tube 2 is positioned directly above the short side of the applicator replacement member 300.

Fig. 26 (a) is a view showing a process of inserting the front barrel 2 into the replacement cassette 31. As shown in fig. 26 (a), the front cylinder 2 facing the applicator replacement member 300 is lowered toward the applicator replacement member 300, and the front cylinder 2 is inserted into the replacement magazine 31 of the applicator replacement member 300. At this time, the inclined surface 2e of the front tube 2 abuts against the tapered surface 31f of the replacement box 31. In the step of inserting the front barrel 2 into the replacement magazine 31, the position of the front barrel 2 with respect to the core holder 1 and the replacement magazine 31 may be adjusted so that the axis of the core holder 1, the axis of the replacement magazine 31, and the axis of the front barrel 2 overlap. In this case, the front barrel 2 can be lowered toward the replacement cassette 31 and the replacement cassette 31 can be easily inserted into the front barrel 2, so that attachment of a new applicator M1 and the core clip 1 to the front barrel 2 can be easily performed.

Fig. 26 (b) is a view showing a process of vertically reversing the applicator delivery container 100 and the replacement magazine 31. As shown in fig. 26 (b), in a state where the front cylinder 2 is inserted into the replacement cassette 31, the vertical positions of the front cylinder 2 and the replacement cassette 31 are reversed such that the front cylinder 2 is positioned below the replacement cassette 31. At this time, the applicator delivery container 100 is disposed such that the opening 2a of the front tube 2 faces upward, and the applicator replacement member 300 is disposed such that the first suction member a1 of the core clip 1 faces downward.

Fig. 26 (c) is a view showing a step of attaching the applicator M1 to the applicator delivery container 100 and the core holder 1 which holds the applicator M1. As shown in fig. 26 (b) and 26 (c), the core holder 1 holding the applicator M1 is arranged such that the first adsorbing member a1 faces downward, and then the core holder 1 is inserted into the front barrel 2 and falls down through the barrel hole 2b of the front barrel 2. Through this attaching process, as shown in fig. 3, the core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 is accommodated in the barrel hole 2b, and the first adsorbing member a1 is adsorbed to the second adsorbing member a 2. Through the above steps, the replacement of the applicator M1 and the core clip 1 holding the applicator M1 is completed.

As described above, in the applicator replacement member 300 of the present embodiment, only the applicator M1 and the core clip 1 can be replaced as described above, and therefore, the number of parts to be discarded can be reduced and the applicator M1 can be easily replaced. Specifically, the core holder 1 can be detached from the applicator delivery container 100 (front barrel 2) (the core holder 1 is dropped) by relatively rotating the front barrel 2 and the container body 3 in one direction and directing the opening 2a of the front barrel 2 downward, and the applicator M1 can be attached to the applicator delivery container 100 by entering the core holder 1 into the barrel hole 2b of the front barrel 2. Therefore, the work of replacing the applicator M1 and the core holder 1 can be easily performed.

The embodiments of the applicator delivery container and the applicator replacement member according to the present disclosure have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be modified within a range not changing the gist described in each embodiment.

For example, the applicator replacement member 300 described above can be used for replacement of the applicator M2 of the applicator delivery container 200 and the core clip 21 that grips the applicator M2.

In the above embodiments, the description has been given of the example in which the first suction member a1 and the second suction member a2 are magnetic bodies. However, the first and second adsorbing members may be of a structure other than a magnetic body. For example, the first and second suction members may be gel-like adherends or hook-and-loop fasteners. As described above, the material and the structure of the first and second suction members are not limited to the above embodiments, and may be appropriately modified.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the replacement magazine 31 of the applicator replacement member 300 is a cylindrical body has been described. In the case where the replacement magazine 31 is a cylindrical body in this manner, the core holder and the applicator can be stably arranged inside the replacement magazine 31. Therefore, the core holder and the applicator can be stably held in the interior of the replacement cartridge 31 without rattling. However, the shape of the replacement cartridge may be other than the cylindrical body, and may be appropriately changed. In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the replacement cassette 31 is transparent is described. However, the replacement cartridge may be opaque, and the color of the replacement cartridge may be changed as appropriate.
