Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は口紅等の棒状化粧料に使用される繰出容器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
棒状化粧料繰出容器には、外筒の内部に内筒が軸線方向に相対移動不能で周方向に相対回転可能に取り付けられていて、外筒の下部から露出する内筒の下部を摘んで外筒と内筒とを相対回転すると、棒状化粧料を支持するホルダが内筒内を昇降して、棒状化粧料を外筒の先端から突没させることができるようになっているものがある。
【0003】
この種の一般的な棒状化粧料繰出容器は、外筒と内筒とを相対回転すると、ホルダが最下位と最上位の間を連続的に昇降するようになっている。
ところが、棒状化粧料繰出容器においては、種々の理由により最下位と最上位の間の中間位置でホルダの上動を強制的に一旦停止させたい場合がある。その一例を以下に説明する。
【0004】
棒状化粧料繰出容器には、外筒の先端から突出し露出するのは棒状化粧料だけにして、ホルダは外筒から露出させないようにしたい、という意匠上の要請がある。
【0005】
しかしながら、ホルダの先部が外筒の先端よりも引っ込んで位置していると、棒状化粧料の残量が十分にあるうち(即ち、棒状化粧料の長さが長い間)は特に問題ないが、棒状化粧料の残量が少なくなってきた時(即ち、棒状化粧料の長さが短くなった時)に、棒状化粧料が塗りにくくなり、ひいてはホルダの先端から棒状化粧料がまだ突き出ているにも拘わらず塗れなくなって不経済であるという問題が生じる。
【0006】
又、製造段階においては、ホルダを棒状化粧料繰出容器を組み立てた後にホルダに棒状化粧料を装填あるいは装着する場合があるが、この場合にもホルダの先部が外筒の先端よりも引っ込んで位置していると、棒状化粧料を装填あるいは装着しにくかったり、装填あるいは装着できないという問題が生じる。
【0007】
つまり、この種の棒状化粧料繰出容器には、意匠上からはホルダを外筒の先端から突出させたくなく、棒状化粧料の経済性や装填装着の容易性という観点からはホルダを外筒の先端から突出させたいという、相反する要望がある。
【0008】
このような時に、ホルダを最上位に位置させた時にはホルダの先部が外筒の先端から突出し、最上位よりも若干下方の位置でホルダの上動が強制停止せしめられ、この強制停止位置ではホルダの先部が外筒の先端よりも引っ込んで位置するようになっていれば、前記相反する要望を同時に満足させることができ、非常に都合がよい。
【0009】
つまり、製造時において棒状化粧料をホルダに装填あるいは装着する時にはホルダを最上位に位置させることによりホルダの先部を外筒の先端から突出させて棒状化粧料の装填装着作業を行うことができ、通常の棒状化粧料を使用する際にはホルダを最下位と前記強制停止位置の間で昇降せしめることによってホルダの先部を外筒から露出させないようにすることができ、棒状化粧料の残量が少なくなった時にはホルダを最上位に位置させることによりホルダの先部を外筒の先端から突出させて使用することができるからである。
【0010】
尚、ホルダの上動を途中で一旦強制停止させる理由は、これに限るものではない。
【0011】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来は、このような機構を備えた棒状化粧料繰出容器はなかった。
本発明はこのような従来の技術の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、構造が簡単ながら、ホルダを上動の途中で強制的に一旦停止することができ、強制停止後に再び最上位まで上動せしめることが可能な棒状化粧料繰出容器を提供することにある。
【0012】
又、本発明の他の目的は、意匠性もよく、棒状化粧料の使用不能な部分を少なくできて経済性にも優れ、製造段階では棒状化粧料の装填装着がし易い棒状化粧料繰出容器を提供することにある。
【0013】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は前記課題を解決するために、以下の手段を採用した。
[本発明の要旨]
本発明の棒状化粧料繰出容器は、(イ)外筒と、(ロ)内筒と、(ハ)ホルダ、とを備えており、外筒と内筒とを相対回転することによってホルダが内筒内を昇降するようになっている。以下に各構成要素について説明する。
【0014】
〈外筒〉
外筒はその内周面に螺旋溝を有する。この螺旋溝において、ホルダを上動せしめる時にホルダの係合突起を案内する上動ガイド壁の途中には、上動ガイド壁を不連続ならしめる凹部が設けられている。
【0015】
〈内筒〉
内筒は前記外筒内に挿入されており、外筒に対し軸線方向には僅かに移動可能で、且つ周方向に回転可能に取り付けられている。内筒の周壁部には軸線方向へ延びるガイド孔が設けられている。
【0016】
〈ホルダ〉
ホルダは前記内筒内に昇降可能に挿入されていて、棒状化粧料の基部を支持するものである。ホルダの周壁部には、前記内筒のガイド孔を挿通し外筒の螺旋溝に摺動可能に係合する係合突起が設けられている。このホルダは外筒と内筒とを相対回転することにより内筒内を昇降する。
【0017】
本発明の棒状化粧料繰出容器においては、ホルダが上動して係合突起が螺旋溝の凹部に侵入すると、ホルダの上動が強制停止せしめられる。係合突起を前記凹部に侵入させた状態で内筒と外筒とを軸線方向に相対移動すると、係合突起が凹部から脱出する。その後に、外筒と内筒とを相対回転すると係合突起が再び螺旋溝を上動することが可能となって、ホルダが内筒内を更に上動することが可能となる。前記外筒と内筒との間には内筒を上方に付勢する弾性部材が設けられており、前記係合突起が前記凹部に侵入した状態で初めに前記弾性部材に抗して内筒を下方に移動し次に弾性部材の弾性復元力によって内筒を上方に戻すことにより係合突起が凹部から脱出する(請求項1に対応)。
【0018】
又、本発明の棒状化粧料繰出容器においては、ホルダのストロークを次のように設定することができる。即ち、前記係合突起が前記凹部に侵入し前記ホルダが強制停止せしめられた状態ではホルダの先部を外筒内に引っ込めて位置させ、前記外筒と内筒を軸線方向に相対移動して前記係合突起を凹部から脱出させた後、ホルダを再び上動して最上位に位置させた状態では、ホルダの先部を外筒の先端よりも外方に突出せしめる(請求項2に対応)。
【0020】
弾性部材は内筒を上方に付勢すべく外筒と内筒との間に設けられるもので、弾性部材の存在は外筒と内筒との間のがたつきを防止することが可能となり、また、係合突起が前記凹部に侵入した状態で内筒を弾性復元力に抗して下方に移動させ、該弾性復元力によって該内筒を上方に戻すことにより係合突起を凹部から脱出させることができる。
【0021】
前記螺旋溝の凹部の形状は、ホルダの上動途中で係合突起を強制停止させ且つ停止後に外筒と内筒の軸線方向相対移動により係合突起を脱出させる機能さえ有していれば特に限定はないが、略水平壁部と略垂直壁部によって略L字状に形成すると、凹部に対する係合突起の係脱が確実にでき好ましい(請求項4に対応)。
【0022】
【作用】
〈本発明の作用〉
外筒と内筒とを相対回転すると、ホルダが内筒内を上動して棒状化粧料が外筒から突出する。ホルダの上動時、係合突起が螺旋溝の凹部に侵入するまでは、ホルダは連続的に内筒内を上動可能である。
【0023】
係合突起が螺旋溝の凹部に侵入するとホルダは強制的に停止せしめられ、通常の上動操作ではそれ以上ホルダを上動させることはできない。
係合突起を螺旋溝の凹部に侵入させた状態で内筒と外筒とを軸線方向に相対移動すると、係合突起が凹部から脱出する。
【0024】
更にその後、外筒と内筒とを相対回転すると係合突起は凹部よりも上位に位置する螺旋溝を上動し、その結果、ホルダは最上位まで上動する。
【0025】
又、係合突起が凹部に侵入した時にホルダの先部が外筒内に引っ込んで位置し、ホルダが最上位に位置した時にホルダの先部が外筒の先端よりも外方に突出して位置するようにした場合には、次のような作用がある。
【0026】
即ち、製造時において棒状化粧料をホルダに装填あるいは装着する時には、ホルダを最上位に位置させてホルダの先部を外筒の先端から突出させる。このようにすると、棒状化粧料の装填作業あるいは装着作業を容易に行うことができる。
【0027】
棒状化粧料を使用する際には、通常はホルダが最下位と強制停止位置の間で昇降する。ホルダがこの間に位置している時には、ホルダの先部が外筒内に引っ込んでいて露出していないので見栄えがよい。
【0028】
一方、棒状化粧料の残量が少なくなった時には、ホルダを最上位に位置させてホルダの先部を外筒の先端から突出させる。これにより、残量が少なくなった時にも棒状化粧料を塗り易くなり、又、棒状化粧料の使用不能部分を極力減らすことができる。
【0029】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の実施例を図1から図14の図面に基いて説明する。
【0030】
〔第1実施例〕
図1から図5の図面は本発明の第1実施例の棒状化粧料繰出容器(以下、繰出容器という)1の断面図である。
【0031】
繰出容器1は、外筒10と、内筒20と、ホルダ40と、ブッシュリング70を備えている。
外筒10は、上下を開口させた中空円筒状の金属製の化粧筒11と、この化粧筒11の内側に固定された円筒状のプラスチック製の螺旋溝筒12とから構成されており、螺旋溝筒12の先端は化粧筒11の先端よりも所定寸法だけ下方に位置している。
【0032】
螺旋溝筒12の内周面には螺旋溝13が形成されている。図7は螺旋溝筒12の縦断面図であり、螺旋溝筒12の内部に視点を置いて見た場合に螺旋溝13は左方向に上り勾配になっている。
【0033】
螺旋溝13の上側の壁面は後述のホルダ40の係合突起42を下動せしめるべく案内する下動ガイド壁14を構成し、螺旋溝12の下側の壁面はホルダ40の係合突起42を上動せしめるべく案内する上動ガイド壁15を構成する。
【0034】
この上動ガイド壁15の終端近傍には略L字状に形成された凹部16が形成されている。凹部16は、略水平方向に延びる水平壁部16aと、略垂直方向に延びる垂直壁部16bとから構成されている。
【0035】
この外筒10の内側に内筒20が挿入されている。図8は内筒20の正面図である。内筒20はプラスチック製で上下を開口させた中空円筒状をなし、その下端に若干大径の操作摘み部21を備え、操作摘み部21から小径筒部(周壁部)22が上方に延びており、小径筒部22の先端縁に掛止環23が設けられている。
【0036】
小径筒部22にはホルダ40の係合突起42を案内するガイド孔31が周方向に180度離れて1つずつ設けられている。
ガイド孔31は、小径筒部22の下端部に沿って周方向に延びる始端横溝32と、掛止環23の近傍に沿って周方向に延びる終端横溝33と、始端横溝32の左端と終端横溝33の右端とを一直線に結ぶ縦溝34とを備えている。ホルダ40の係合突起42はホルダ40が下動する際に縦溝34の右壁面35を摺動し、上動する際に縦溝34の左壁面36を摺動する。
【0037】
内筒20は、先部側を外筒10内に挿入し、先端を外筒10の先端よりも若干下方に位置させ、操作摘み部21を外筒10の下部から突出させ、操作摘み部21と小径筒部22との境に設けた段部24を外筒10の下縁に突き当てて、外筒10に対して周方向に相対回転可能に取り付けられている。
【0038】
又、内筒20の外側であって外筒10の螺旋溝筒12の先端と内筒20の掛止環23との間には、内筒20を上方に付勢するプラスチック製のブッシュリング(弾性部材)70が挟装されている。
【0039】
図10(A)はブッシュリング70の平面図であり、図10(B)は同正面図である。ブッシュリング70は環状をなし、非変形連接部71と変形可能部72が周方向交互にそれぞれ3つずつ設けられている。変形可能部72は正面から見ると略U字状に下方に湾曲しており、非変形連接部71よりも下方に突出している。
【0040】
変形可能部72は軸線方向(図10(B)において上下方向)に弾性圧縮変形可能になっている。
図2及び図4において破線で示すように、ブッシュリング70は変形可能部72が殆ど変形していない形態にされて螺旋溝筒12の先端と掛止環23の間に挟装されており、この状態において外筒10の下縁が内筒20の段部24に突き当たっている。
【0041】
そして、図3において破線で示すように、ブッシュリング70の変形可能部72を弾性圧縮変形することによって、内筒20を外筒10の下方へ若干引き出すことができるようになっている。換言すれば、一方の手で外筒10を持ち、他方の手で内筒20の操作摘み部21を持ち下方に引っ張ると、ブッシュリング70の変形可能部72が弾性圧縮変形可能な範囲で、内筒20を引き出すことができるようになっている。又、引き出した後、操作摘み部21から手を離すと、ブッシュリング70の復元力によって内筒20が自動的に引き込まれるようになっている。
【0042】
尚、ブッシュリング70の形状は図10に示すものに限るものではなく、上述のように内筒20を上方に付勢する機能さえ有していれば、どのような形状であっても構わない。
【0043】
図11及び図12はブッシュリング70の他の例を示している。図11のブッシュリング70は上下2つのリング73を3本の螺旋状アーム74により連結して構成されており、螺旋状アーム74が弾性変形してリング73間の距離を伸縮するようになっている。図12に示すブッシュリング70は通常のコイルスプリングからなるものである。
【0044】
これらブッシュリング70の場合にはいずれも、内筒20の外側であって螺旋溝筒12の先端と内筒20の掛止環23との間に設置するが、弾性部材の設置位置はこの位置に限定されるものではない。要は内筒20を上方に付勢することができるように配置されていればよいのである。
【0045】
内筒20の内側にはプラスチック製のホルダ40が内筒20の内周面との間に所定の摩擦抵抗を付与されて昇降可能に挿入されている。図9はホルダ40の正面図である。ホルダ40は上下を開口させた中空円筒状をなし、その内部に棒状化粧料Aの基部を固定させて棒状化粧料Aを支持している。周壁部41の内面には複数の鍔部43が突設されており、この鍔部43が棒状化粧料Aをホルダ40に強固に固定する。
【0046】
ホルダ40の周壁部41の外面には、係合突起42が周方向に180度離れて1つずつ突設されている。この係合突起42は前記内筒20のガイド孔31を挿通して外筒10の螺旋溝13に摺動可能に係合しており、外筒10と内筒20とを相対回転することによってホルダ40を内筒20内で昇降せしめることができ、棒状化粧料Aを外筒10の先端から突没せしめることができるようになっている。
【0047】
図2はホルダ40を最下限位置に位置せしめた状態を示しており、以下、この状態を初期状態と称して説明する。
初期状態では、ホルダ40の係合突起42が内筒20のガイド孔31の始端横溝32の右端に位置している。又、この初期状態においては、内筒20はもとよりホルダ40及び棒状化粧料Aも外筒10の先端から突き出ていない。
【0048】
次に、この繰出容器の作用について説明する。
〈 通常の繰り出し操作:棒状化粧料の残量が十分にある場合 〉
図2に示す初期状態から、外筒10を非回転側とし操作摘み部21を持って内筒20を回転すると、係合突起42が始端横溝32の上辺に接触している間はホルダ40は上動を規制されるので、係合突起42は始端横溝32の左端に向かって相対的に水平移動することとなり、即ち、ホルダ40が内筒20内を相対的に水平回転することとなる。
【0049】
そして、係合突起42が始端横溝32の上辺左縁部に接触する位置に達すると、ホルダ40の上動規制が解除されてホルダ40は上動し始め、係合突起42が縦孔34の左壁面36に突き当たると内筒20とホルダ40との相対回転が停止せしめられ、係合突起42が縦孔34の左壁面36及び螺旋溝13の上動ガイド壁15を摺動して上動する結果、ホルダ40は内筒20内を上動する。このホルダ40の上動により棒状化粧料Aが外筒10の先端から突出し露出する。
【0050】
尚、縦孔34を上動する時、ホルダ40は内筒20に対して相対回転がなく、外筒10に対してだけ相対回転することとなる。
【0051】
螺旋溝13の上動ガイド壁15を摺動して上動する係合突起42は上動ガイド壁15の終端手前で凹部16に侵入する。そして、係合突起42が凹部16の垂直壁部16bに突き当たるとホルダ40は強制的に停止せしめられる。
【0052】
図6(A)はこの時の螺旋溝13とガイド孔31と係合突起42の位置関係を示した拡大図であり、図中二点鎖線は外筒10の外側から透視した状態で示した螺旋溝13である。
【0053】
この状態で外筒10を非回転側とし内筒20を図中矢印X方向に回転しても、係合突起42が凹部16の垂直壁部16bに突き当たった状態に保持されて、ホルダ40は外筒10及び内筒20に対して回転不能、及び上動不能となる。
【0054】
以上の如くして、ホルダ40は係合突起42が凹部16の垂直壁部16bに突き当たった時点で強制的に停止せしめられ、内筒20を外筒10に対して相対回転させるだけの通常の繰り出し操作ではこれ以上ホルダ40を上動させることができなくなる。以下、このホルダ位置を途中強制停止位置と称す。
【0055】
図1はホルダ40が途中強制停止位置に位置した状態を示しており、この時、ホルダ40の先端が外筒10の先端よりも引っ込んで位置するように、凹部16の位置設定がなされている。即ち、ホルダ40が最下限位置と途中強制停止位置の間に位置している場合には、常にホルダ40の先端が外筒10内に引っ込んで位置することとなる。したがって、通常の繰り出し操作時の使用状態においては、外筒10の先端から突出するのは棒状化粧料Aだけとなり、非常に見栄えがよく、意匠性に優れたものとなる。
【0056】
尚、棒状化粧料Aを引き込む場合には、前述とは逆方向に外筒10と内筒20を相対回転させる。すると、ホルダ40が若干水平回転して、係合突起42がガイド孔31の右壁面35及び螺旋溝13の下動ガイド壁14に突き当たり、その後、下動ガイド壁14に沿って摺動し下動することにより、ホルダ40が下動することとなる。
【0057】
〈 残量減時の繰り出し操作:棒状化粧料の残量が少なくなった場合 〉
棒状化粧料Aの残量が少なくなり、ホルダ40を途中強制停止位置に位置させても外筒10の先端から突出する棒状化粧料Aの突出量が短く使いにくくなった時には次のように操作する。
【0058】
まず、前述の通常繰り出し操作により、ホルダ40を途中強制停止位置まで上動し、係合突起42を凹部16の垂直壁部16bに突き当てる。
次に、外筒10と内筒20とを相対回転させないようにしながら内筒20の操作摘み部21を下方に引っ張り、図3に示すようにブッシュリング70の弾性に抗して内筒20を外筒10に対して下方に相対移動させる。
【0059】
ホルダ40の係合突起42は螺旋溝13の凹部16の水平壁部16aに掛止しているので、内筒20を外筒10に対して下方移動しても、係合突起42すなわちホルダ40は外筒10に対して上下動することはなく、内筒20だけが外筒10及びホルダ40に対して下方移動することとなる。
【0060】
この後、内筒20を下方に引っ張る力を取り除くと、図4に示すように、ブッシュリング70の弾性復元力によって内筒20は再び外筒10内に引き戻される。その際に、内筒20の内周面とホルダ40との間に作用する摩擦によって、ホルダ40は内筒20と一体となって外筒10に対し上方移動する。図6(B)はこの状態を示しており、ホルダ40の係合突起42は凹部16の水平壁部16aから離間し、垂直壁部16bの上縁側方に位置する。そしてこの時に、図4に示すようにホルダ40の先端が外筒10の先端から若干突出する。
【0061】
この後、再び外筒10を非回転側として前述の通常繰り出し操作の場合と同じ方向(図6(B)においてX方向)に内筒20を回転すると、係合突起42が凹部16よりも上位に位置する上動ガイド壁15に当接し、この上動ガイド壁15を摺動して上動する。その結果、ホルダ40が内筒20内を再び上動し、ホルダ40は外筒10の先端からの突出寸法を徐々に大きくしていく。
【0062】
内筒20の回転操作によりホルダ40の係合突起42は上動ガイド壁15を登り切り、連続して終端横溝33内に進入し、終端横溝33の上辺に突き当たる。これによって、ホルダ40の上動が阻止される。
【0063】
その後、係合突起42が終端縦溝33の上辺を摺動して左端部に向かって相対移動する結果、ホルダ40は内筒20に対して相対水平回転する。そして、図5に示すように、係合突起42が終端横溝33の左端部に突き当たると、ホルダ40の相対水平回転も阻止される。これがホルダ40の終点であり最上位である。
【0064】
このように、ホルダ40の係合突起42を螺旋溝13の凹部16よりも上位に位置させると、ホルダ40の先部を外筒10の先端から突出せしめることができるので、ホルダ40の先端からの突出量が少なくなった棒状化粧料Aを塗り易くすることができる。又、棒状化粧料Aの残量が少なくなった時に、ホルダ40内に収容されている棒状化粧料Aをリップブラシで拭い取って使う場合にも非常に使い易い。
【0065】
尚、このようにホルダ40を最上位に位置せしめた後、棒状化粧料Aを内筒20内に引き込むには、通常の繰り出し操作後に棒状化粧料Aを引き込む操作と同じであり、内筒20を繰り出し操作の時とは逆方向に回転する。
【0066】
すると、ホルダ40が内筒20に対して若干相対水平回転し、係合突起42がガイド孔31の縦孔33の右壁面35に突き当たるとホルダ40の相対回転が阻止され、それ以後は係合突起42が縦孔33の右壁面35及び螺旋溝13の下動壁部14を摺動して下動する。その結果、ホルダ40が下動する。そして、係合突起42は縦孔33を降りきると始端横溝32内に進入し、その右端部に突き当たって停止する。
【0067】
〈 棒状化粧料を装填する場合 〉
この繰出容器1では、その製造工程において、外筒10、内筒20、ホルダ40、及びブッシュリング70を組み立てた後、棒状化粧料Aの装填作業を非常に容易に行うことができる。
【0068】
即ち、図13に示すように、ホルダ40を最上位に位置させることにより、ホルダ40の先部を外筒10の先端から最大限突出させ、このホルダ40の突出端に棒状化粧料充填用の仮キャップ50を取り付ける。そして、繰出容器1を倒立させて内筒20の操作摘み部21の底部開口25からホルダ40及び仮キャップ50内に液状の棒状化粧料原料を注入する。
【0069】
棒状化粧料Aが固化した時点で仮キャップ50を取り外し、ホルダ40を最下限位置に戻すと、図2のように棒状化粧料Aが外筒10及び内筒20内に収容される。
【0070】
このように、棒状化粧料充填の際には、ホルダ40の先部を外筒10の先端から十分に突出させることができるので、ホルダ40に対する仮キャップ50の着脱が極めて容易にでき、充填作業が容易にできる。
【0071】
又、棒状に固化した棒状化粧料Aをホルダ40に差し込んで装着する場合にも、ホルダ40の先部を外筒10の先端から突出させて行うことができ、装着作業が容易である。
【0072】
〔第2実施例〕
前記第1実施例においては螺旋溝13の凹部16を略L字状に形成したが、凹部16の形状はこれに限るものではなく、例えば凹部16を円弧状に形成することも可能である。
【0073】
図14は円弧状の凹部16に係合突起42が侵入して強制停止せしめられた時の螺旋溝13とガイド孔31と係合突起42の位置関係を示した図であり、図中二点鎖線は、外筒10の外側から透視した状態で示した螺旋溝13である。
【0074】
凹部16を円弧状にした繰出容器1においても第1実施例の繰出容器1と同じ作用効果が奏される。
尚、凹部16を円弧状にする場合には、凹部16の上位側の端部17における凹部16壁面に対する接線Tの方向を略鉛直方向にするのが好ましい。このようにすると、係合突起42を確実に強制停止せしめることができるとともに、外筒10と内筒20を軸線方向に相対移動した時に係合突起42を凹部16から容易に脱出させることができる。
【0075】
〔第3実施例〕
前記第1実施例及び第2実施例では、ホルダ40を途中強制停止位置に位置させた後、初めに内筒20を外筒10に対して下方に移動し、次に内筒20を外筒10に対して上方に移動して外筒10と内筒20の軸線方向の相対位置関係を元の状態に戻し、これによってホルダ40の係合突起42を螺旋溝13の凹部16から脱出するようにしている。
【0076】
これを、ホルダ40が途中強制停止位置に位置した状態において内筒20を外筒10に対して上方に移動できるように構成しておき、ホルダ40を途中強制停止位置に位置させた後、内筒20を外筒10に対して上方に移動することによりホルダ40の係合突起42を螺旋溝13の凹部16から脱出せしめ、引き続いて内筒20を外筒10に対して回転することにより係合突起42をして螺旋溝13の上動ガイド壁15を摺動させホルダ40を最上位まで上動させるようにすることも可能である。
【0077】
この場合にも外筒10と内筒20との間に弾性部材を装着することが可能であり、その際には内筒20を外筒10に対して下方に付勢するように装着する。
【0078】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、外筒に対して内筒を軸線方向へ僅かに移動可能に取り付け、外筒の螺旋溝における上動ガイド壁の途中に、上動ガイド壁を不連続ならしめる凹部を設けるという構成を、従来の一般的な棒状化粧料繰出容器の構成に付加するだけの極めて簡単な構造で、ホルダを途中強制停止せしめることができるという優れた効果が奏される。
【0079】
又、ホルダの係合突起が螺旋溝の凹部に侵入した時にホルダの先部が外筒内に引っ込んで位置し、ホルダが最上位に位置した時にホルダの先部が外筒の先端よりも外方に突出して位置するようにした場合には、以下の効果が奏される。
【0080】
棒状化粧料繰出容器を組み立てた後に棒状化粧料をホルダに装填あるいは装着する作業が極めて容易にできる。
又、棒状化粧料を繰り出して使用する際におけるホルダの通常の上動限界を途中強制停止位置に設定すると、通常使用状態では外筒の先端から突出して露出するのが棒状化粧料だけとなるので、美観がよく、棒状化粧料繰出容器の意匠性がよくなる。
【0081】
更に、棒状化粧料の残量が少なくなった時には、ホルダを最上位に位置させるとホルダの先部を外筒の先端から突出させることができるので、棒状化粧料が塗り易くなり、且つ、棒状化粧料の使用不能部分を極力減らすことができて経済的である。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a feeding container used for stick-shaped cosmetics such as lipstick.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the stick-shaped cosmetic supply container, the inner cylinder is attached inside the outer cylinder so as not to be relatively movable in the axial direction but relatively rotatable in the circumferential direction. The lower part of the inner cylinder exposed from the lower part of the outer cylinder is picked and removed. When the cylinder and the inner cylinder are rotated relative to each other, a holder that supports the bar-shaped cosmetic can be moved up and down in the inner cylinder so that the bar-shaped cosmetic can protrude from the tip of the outer cylinder.
[0003]
In this type of general bar-shaped cosmetic material supply container, when the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are relatively rotated, the holder continuously moves up and down between the lowest and highest positions.
However, in the stick-shaped cosmetic material supply container, there are cases where it is desired to forcibly temporarily stop the upward movement of the holder at an intermediate position between the lowest level and the highest level for various reasons. One example will be described below.
[0004]
The stick-shaped cosmetic material supply container has a design requirement that only the stick-shaped cosmetic material protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder and is exposed, and the holder is not exposed from the outer cylinder.
[0005]
However, if the tip of the holder is positioned to be retracted from the tip of the outer cylinder, there is no particular problem while the remaining amount of the stick-shaped cosmetic is sufficient (that is, while the length of the stick-shaped cosmetic is long). When the amount of sticky cosmetic material is low (that is, when the length of the sticky cosmetic material is shortened), it becomes difficult to apply the sticky cosmetic material, and the sticky cosmetic material still protrudes from the tip of the holder. In spite of the fact that it is not possible to paint, it is uneconomical.
[0006]
In addition, in the manufacturing stage, there is a case where the holder is loaded with or attached with the stick-shaped cosmetic after the stick-shaped cosmetic feed container is assembled. In this case, the tip of the holder is retracted from the tip of the outer cylinder. If it is positioned, there is a problem that it is difficult to load or mount the stick-shaped cosmetic material, or that it cannot be loaded or mounted.
[0007]
In other words, this type of bar-shaped cosmetic material supply container does not want the holder to protrude from the tip of the outer cylinder in terms of design, and from the viewpoint of economics of bar-shaped cosmetics and ease of loading and mounting, There is a conflicting desire to make it protrude from the tip.
[0008]
In such a case, when the holder is positioned at the uppermost position, the tip of the holder protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder, and the upward movement of the holder is forcibly stopped at a position slightly below the uppermost position. If the tip of the holder is positioned so as to be retracted from the tip of the outer cylinder, the conflicting demands can be satisfied at the same time, which is very convenient.
[0009]
In other words, when loading or mounting the stick-shaped cosmetic into the holder at the time of manufacturing, the holder can be positioned at the uppermost position so that the tip of the holder protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder and the stick-shaped cosmetic can be loaded and mounted. When using a normal bar-shaped cosmetic, the tip of the holder can be prevented from being exposed from the outer cylinder by raising and lowering the holder between the lowest position and the forcible stop position. This is because when the amount decreases, the tip of the holder can be protruded from the tip of the outer cylinder by positioning the holder at the top.
[0010]
The reason for forcibly stopping the upward movement of the holder is not limited to this.
[0011]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, there has been no stick-shaped cosmetic material supply container having such a mechanism.
The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art as described above. The purpose of the present invention is to make it possible to forcibly stop the holder in the middle of its upward movement while the structure is simple. Another object is to provide a stick-shaped cosmetic material supply container that can be moved up to the top again.
[0012]
Another object of the present invention is to provide a stick-shaped cosmetic feed container that has good design, can reduce the number of unusable portions of the stick-shaped cosmetic, is economical, and can be easily loaded with the stick-shaped cosmetic at the manufacturing stage. Is to provide.
[0013]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems.
[Summary of the present invention]
The stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container of the present invention comprises (a) an outer cylinder, (b) an inner cylinder, and (c) a holder, and the holder is moved by relative rotation between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. It is designed to move up and down in the cylinder. Each component will be described below.
[0014]
<Outer cylinder>
The outer cylinder has a spiral groove on its inner peripheral surface. In this spiral groove, a concave portion is provided in the middle of the upward movement guide wall that guides the engaging protrusion of the holder when the holder is moved upward, so that the upward movement guide wall becomes discontinuous.
[0015]
<Inner cylinder>
The inner cylinder is inserted into the outer cylinder, and is attached to the outer cylinder so as to be slightly movable in the axial direction and rotatable in the circumferential direction. A guide hole extending in the axial direction is provided in the peripheral wall portion of the inner cylinder.
[0016]
<holder>
The holder is inserted into the inner cylinder so as to be movable up and down, and supports the base of the bar-shaped cosmetic. On the peripheral wall portion of the holder, there is provided an engagement protrusion that is slidably engaged with the spiral groove of the outer cylinder through the guide hole of the inner cylinder. This holder moves up and down in the inner cylinder by relatively rotating the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.
[0017]
  In the stick-shaped cosmetic material supply container of the present invention, when the holder moves upward and the engaging projection enters the concave portion of the spiral groove, the upward movement of the holder is forcibly stopped. When the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are relatively moved in the axial direction in a state where the engagement protrusion is inserted into the recess, the engagement protrusion escapes from the recess. Thereafter, when the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are rotated relative to each other, the engaging projection can again move up the spiral groove, and the holder can further move up in the inner cylinder.An elastic member that urges the inner cylinder upward is provided between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, and the inner cylinder is first resisted against the elastic member in a state in which the engagement protrusion enters the recess. The engaging projection escapes from the recessed portion by moving the inner cylinder downward and then returning the inner cylinder upward by the elastic restoring force of the elastic member.(Corresponding to claim 1).
[0018]
Moreover, in the stick-shaped cosmetic material supply container of the present invention, the stroke of the holder can be set as follows. That is, in a state where the engaging protrusion has entered the recess and the holder is forcibly stopped, the tip of the holder is retracted into the outer cylinder, and the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are moved relative to each other in the axial direction. After the engagement protrusion is escaped from the recess, the holder is moved up again and positioned at the uppermost position so that the tip of the holder protrudes outward from the tip of the outer cylinder (corresponding to claim 2). ).
[0020]
The elastic member is provided between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder to urge the inner cylinder upward, and the presence of the elastic member can prevent rattling between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. In addition, with the engagement protrusion entering the recess, the inner cylinder is moved downward against the elastic restoring force, and the inner protrusion is returned upward by the elastic restoring force, so that the engagement protrusion is escaped from the recess. Can be made.
[0021]
The shape of the concave portion of the spiral groove is particularly limited as long as it has a function of forcibly stopping the engaging protrusion during the upward movement of the holder and allowing the engaging protrusion to escape by the relative movement in the axial direction of the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder after stopping. Although there is no limitation, it is preferable to form a substantially L shape by a substantially horizontal wall portion and a substantially vertical wall portion, because the engagement protrusion can be reliably engaged with and disengaged from the recess (corresponding to claim 4).
[0022]
[Action]
<Operation of the present invention>
When the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are rotated relative to each other, the holder moves up in the inner cylinder and the stick-shaped cosmetic protrudes from the outer cylinder. During the upward movement of the holder, the holder can continuously move up in the inner cylinder until the engaging protrusion enters the concave portion of the spiral groove.
[0023]
When the engaging protrusion enters the concave portion of the spiral groove, the holder is forcibly stopped, and the holder cannot be further moved up by a normal upward operation.
When the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are relatively moved in the axial direction in a state in which the engagement protrusion is inserted into the recess of the spiral groove, the engagement protrusion escapes from the recess.
[0024]
After that, when the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder are rotated relative to each other, the engaging protrusion moves upward in the spiral groove positioned higher than the recess, and as a result, the holder moves up to the uppermost position.
[0025]
Also, when the engagement protrusion enters the recess, the tip of the holder is retracted into the outer cylinder, and when the holder is positioned at the uppermost position, the holder tip protrudes outward from the tip of the outer cylinder. When this is done, the following effects are obtained.
[0026]
That is, when the stick-shaped cosmetic material is loaded or attached to the holder at the time of manufacture, the holder is positioned at the uppermost position and the tip of the holder projects from the tip of the outer cylinder. If it does in this way, loading operation | work or mounting | wearing operation | work of stick-shaped cosmetics can be performed easily.
[0027]
When using a stick-shaped cosmetic, the holder usually moves up and down between the lowest position and the forced stop position. When the holder is positioned between them, the tip of the holder is retracted into the outer cylinder and is not exposed, so that the appearance is good.
[0028]
On the other hand, when the remaining amount of the bar-shaped cosmetic material is reduced, the holder is positioned at the uppermost position so that the tip of the holder protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder. Thereby, it becomes easy to apply the stick-shaped cosmetic even when the remaining amount is reduced, and the unusable portion of the stick-shaped cosmetic can be reduced as much as possible.
[0029]
【Example】
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings of FIGS.
[0030]
[First embodiment]
1 to 5 are sectional views of a stick-shaped cosmetic material delivery container (hereinafter referred to as a delivery container) 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
[0031]
The feeding container 1 includes an outer cylinder 10, an inner cylinder 20, a holder 40, and a bush ring 70.
The outer cylinder 10 is composed of a hollow cylindrical metal decorative cylinder 11 having an open top and bottom, and a cylindrical plastic spiral groove cylinder 12 fixed inside the decorative cylinder 11. The tip of the groove cylinder 12 is located below the tip of the decorative cylinder 11 by a predetermined dimension.
[0032]
A spiral groove 13 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the spiral groove cylinder 12. FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of the spiral groove cylinder 12, and the spiral groove 13 is inclined upward in the left direction when viewed from the inside of the spiral groove cylinder 12. FIG.
[0033]
The upper wall surface of the spiral groove 13 constitutes a downward movement guide wall 14 for guiding an engagement protrusion 42 of a holder 40 described later to move downward, and the lower wall surface of the spiral groove 12 has an engagement protrusion 42 of the holder 40. An upward movement guide wall 15 for guiding the upward movement is configured.
[0034]
A concave portion 16 formed in a substantially L shape is formed in the vicinity of the terminal end of the upper moving guide wall 15. The recess 16 includes a horizontal wall portion 16a extending in a substantially horizontal direction and a vertical wall portion 16b extending in a substantially vertical direction.
[0035]
An inner cylinder 20 is inserted inside the outer cylinder 10. FIG. 8 is a front view of the inner cylinder 20. The inner cylinder 20 is made of plastic and has a hollow cylindrical shape with an upper and lower opening, and has a slightly larger diameter operation knob 21 at its lower end. A small diameter cylinder (peripheral wall) 22 extends upward from the operation knob 21. In addition, a retaining ring 23 is provided at the tip edge of the small diameter cylindrical portion 22.
[0036]
The small diameter cylindrical portion 22 is provided with guide holes 31 for guiding the engaging protrusions 42 of the holder 40 one by one in the circumferential direction.
The guide hole 31 includes a starting end lateral groove 32 extending in the circumferential direction along the lower end portion of the small-diameter cylindrical portion 22, a terminal lateral groove 33 extending in the circumferential direction along the vicinity of the retaining ring 23, and the left end and terminal lateral groove of the starting end lateral groove 32. And a vertical groove 34 that connects the right end of 33 in a straight line. The engaging protrusion 42 of the holder 40 slides on the right wall surface 35 of the vertical groove 34 when the holder 40 moves downward, and slides on the left wall surface 36 of the vertical groove 34 when moving upward.
[0037]
The inner cylinder 20 is inserted at the front side into the outer cylinder 10, the tip is positioned slightly below the tip of the outer cylinder 10, the operation knob 21 is projected from the lower part of the outer cylinder 10, and the operation knob 21 A step portion 24 provided at the boundary between the small cylinder portion 22 and the small diameter cylinder portion 22 is abutted against the lower edge of the outer cylinder 10 and is attached to the outer cylinder 10 so as to be relatively rotatable in the circumferential direction.
[0038]
Also, a plastic bush ring (on the outer cylinder 10) between the tip of the spiral groove cylinder 12 of the outer cylinder 10 and the retaining ring 23 of the inner cylinder 20 urges the inner cylinder 20 upward ( An elastic member 70 is sandwiched.
[0039]
FIG. 10A is a plan view of the bush ring 70, and FIG. 10B is a front view thereof. The bush ring 70 has an annular shape, and three non-deformable connecting portions 71 and three deformable portions 72 are provided alternately in the circumferential direction. The deformable portion 72 is curved downward in a substantially U shape when viewed from the front, and projects downward from the non-deformable connecting portion 71.
[0040]
The deformable portion 72 can be elastically deformed in the axial direction (vertical direction in FIG. 10B).
As shown by broken lines in FIGS. 2 and 4, the bush ring 70 has a form in which the deformable portion 72 is hardly deformed and is sandwiched between the tip of the spiral groove cylinder 12 and the retaining ring 23. In this state, the lower edge of the outer cylinder 10 abuts against the step portion 24 of the inner cylinder 20.
[0041]
Then, as indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3, the inner cylinder 20 can be slightly pulled out below the outer cylinder 10 by elastically compressing and deforming the deformable portion 72 of the bush ring 70. In other words, holding the outer cylinder 10 with one hand and holding the operation knob 21 of the inner cylinder 20 with the other hand and pulling it downward, the deformable part 72 of the bush ring 70 is within the range in which elastic deformation is possible. The inner cylinder 20 can be pulled out. Further, when the hand is released from the operation knob 21 after being pulled out, the inner cylinder 20 is automatically pulled in by the restoring force of the bush ring 70.
[0042]
The shape of the bush ring 70 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 10, and any shape may be used as long as it has a function of urging the inner cylinder 20 upward as described above. .
[0043]
11 and 12 show another example of the bush ring 70. The bush ring 70 in FIG. 11 is configured by connecting two upper and lower rings 73 by three spiral arms 74, and the spiral arm 74 is elastically deformed to expand and contract the distance between the rings 73. Yes. The bush ring 70 shown in FIG. 12 is a normal coil spring.
[0044]
In the case of these bush rings 70, each is installed outside the inner cylinder 20 and between the tip of the spiral groove cylinder 12 and the retaining ring 23 of the inner cylinder 20, but the installation position of the elastic member is this position. It is not limited to. In short, it is only necessary that the inner cylinder 20 be arranged so as to be urged upward.
[0045]
Inside the inner cylinder 20, a plastic holder 40 is inserted between the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 20 with a predetermined frictional resistance so as to be movable up and down. FIG. 9 is a front view of the holder 40. The holder 40 has a hollow cylindrical shape that is open at the top and bottom, and supports the stick-shaped cosmetic A by fixing the base of the stick-shaped cosmetic A inside thereof. A plurality of flanges 43 project from the inner surface of the peripheral wall 41, and the flanges 43 firmly fix the bar-shaped cosmetic material A to the holder 40.
[0046]
On the outer surface of the peripheral wall portion 41 of the holder 40, engagement protrusions 42 are provided so as to protrude one by one in the circumferential direction. The engaging protrusion 42 is slidably engaged with the spiral groove 13 of the outer cylinder 10 through the guide hole 31 of the inner cylinder 20, and by rotating the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 relative to each other. The holder 40 can be moved up and down in the inner cylinder 20, and the bar-shaped cosmetic material A can be protruded from the tip of the outer cylinder 10.
[0047]
FIG. 2 shows a state in which the holder 40 is positioned at the lowest limit position. Hereinafter, this state will be described as an initial state.
In the initial state, the engagement protrusion 42 of the holder 40 is located at the right end of the start end lateral groove 32 of the guide hole 31 of the inner cylinder 20. In this initial state, not only the inner cylinder 20 but also the holder 40 and the bar-shaped cosmetic material A do not protrude from the tip of the outer cylinder 10.
[0048]
Next, the operation of the feeding container will be described.
<Normal feeding operation: When there is sufficient remaining amount of stick-shaped cosmetic>
From the initial state shown in FIG. 2, when the outer cylinder 10 is set to the non-rotating side and the inner cylinder 20 is rotated while holding the operation knob 21, the holder 40 is in contact with the engaging protrusion 42 while being in contact with the upper side of the start end lateral groove 32. Since the upward movement is restricted, the engagement protrusion 42 moves relatively horizontally toward the left end of the start end lateral groove 32, that is, the holder 40 relatively rotates in the inner cylinder 20.
[0049]
When the engagement protrusion 42 reaches a position where it comes into contact with the left edge of the upper edge of the starting end lateral groove 32, the upper movement restriction of the holder 40 is released, and the holder 40 starts to move upward. When it abuts against the left wall surface 36, the relative rotation between the inner cylinder 20 and the holder 40 is stopped, and the engaging projection 42 slides on the left wall surface 36 of the vertical hole 34 and the upward guide wall 15 of the spiral groove 13 to move upward. As a result, the holder 40 moves up in the inner cylinder 20. The upward movement of the holder 40 causes the stick-shaped cosmetic material A to protrude from the tip of the outer cylinder 10 and be exposed.
[0050]
When the vertical hole 34 is moved upward, the holder 40 does not rotate relative to the inner cylinder 20 but rotates relative to the outer cylinder 10 only.
[0051]
The engaging protrusion 42 that slides and moves upward along the upward guide wall 15 of the spiral groove 13 enters the recess 16 before the end of the upward guide wall 15. When the engaging protrusion 42 hits the vertical wall 16b of the recess 16, the holder 40 is forcibly stopped.
[0052]
FIG. 6A is an enlarged view showing the positional relationship among the spiral groove 13, the guide hole 31, and the engaging projection 42 at this time, and the two-dot chain line in the drawing is shown in a state seen through from the outside of the outer cylinder 10. This is a spiral groove 13.
[0053]
In this state, even if the outer cylinder 10 is set to the non-rotating side and the inner cylinder 20 is rotated in the direction of the arrow X in the drawing, the engagement protrusion 42 is held in a state of abutting against the vertical wall portion 16b of the recess 16, and the holder 40 is The outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 cannot rotate and cannot move upward.
[0054]
As described above, the holder 40 is forcibly stopped when the engaging protrusion 42 hits the vertical wall portion 16b of the concave portion 16, and the holder 40 is normally rotated only relative to the outer tube 10. In the feeding operation, the holder 40 can no longer be moved up. Hereinafter, this holder position is referred to as a midway forced stop position.
[0055]
FIG. 1 shows a state in which the holder 40 is located at a midway forced stop position. At this time, the position of the concave portion 16 is set so that the tip of the holder 40 is positioned to be retracted from the tip of the outer cylinder 10. . That is, when the holder 40 is located between the lowest limit position and the midway forced stop position, the tip of the holder 40 is always retracted into the outer cylinder 10. Therefore, in the state of use at the time of normal feeding operation, only the bar-shaped cosmetic A protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder 10, which is very attractive and has excellent design.
[0056]
In the case where the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is drawn, the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 are relatively rotated in the opposite direction to the above. Then, the holder 40 rotates slightly horizontally, and the engaging protrusion 42 hits the lower wall guide wall 14 of the guide hole 31 and the spiral groove 13, and then slides along the lower guide wall 14. By moving, the holder 40 moves down.
[0057]
<Feeding operation when the remaining amount is low: When the amount of stick-shaped cosmetic material is low>
When the remaining amount of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A becomes small and the protruding amount of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A protruding from the tip of the outer cylinder 10 is short and difficult to use even when the holder 40 is positioned at the forced stop position on the way, the following operation is performed. To do.
[0058]
First, the holder 40 is moved up to the forcible stop position halfway by the above-described normal feeding operation, and the engaging protrusion 42 is abutted against the vertical wall portion 16 b of the recess 16.
Next, the operation knob 21 of the inner cylinder 20 is pulled downward while preventing the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 from rotating relative to each other, and the inner cylinder 20 is moved against the elasticity of the bush ring 70 as shown in FIG. It is moved relative to the outer cylinder 10 downward.
[0059]
Since the engaging protrusion 42 of the holder 40 is hooked on the horizontal wall portion 16 a of the concave portion 16 of the spiral groove 13, the engaging protrusion 42, that is, the holder 40, even if the inner cylinder 20 is moved downward relative to the outer cylinder 10. Does not move up and down relative to the outer cylinder 10, and only the inner cylinder 20 moves downward relative to the outer cylinder 10 and the holder 40.
[0060]
Thereafter, when the force pulling the inner cylinder 20 downward is removed, the inner cylinder 20 is pulled back into the outer cylinder 10 again by the elastic restoring force of the bush ring 70 as shown in FIG. At that time, the holder 40 moves upward relative to the outer cylinder 10 together with the inner cylinder 20 by friction acting between the inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 20 and the holder 40. FIG. 6B shows this state, and the engaging protrusion 42 of the holder 40 is separated from the horizontal wall portion 16a of the recessed portion 16 and is positioned on the upper edge side of the vertical wall portion 16b. At this time, the tip of the holder 40 slightly protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder 10 as shown in FIG.
[0061]
After that, when the inner cylinder 20 is rotated again in the same direction (X direction in FIG. 6B) as in the above-described normal feeding operation with the outer cylinder 10 as the non-rotating side, the engagement protrusion 42 is positioned above the recess 16. The upper moving guide wall 15 is in contact with the upper moving guide wall 15, and the upper moving guide wall 15 slides up. As a result, the holder 40 moves up again in the inner cylinder 20, and the holder 40 gradually increases the protruding dimension from the tip of the outer cylinder 10.
[0062]
By the rotation operation of the inner cylinder 20, the engaging protrusion 42 of the holder 40 climbs up the upper moving guide wall 15, enters the terminal lateral groove 33 continuously, and hits the upper side of the terminal lateral groove 33. This prevents the holder 40 from moving up.
[0063]
Thereafter, as a result of the engagement protrusion 42 sliding on the upper side of the end vertical groove 33 and moving relatively toward the left end portion, the holder 40 rotates relative to the inner cylinder 20 in a horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 5, when the engaging protrusion 42 hits the left end portion of the terminal lateral groove 33, the relative horizontal rotation of the holder 40 is also prevented. This is the end point of the holder 40 and the highest position.
[0064]
As described above, when the engagement protrusion 42 of the holder 40 is positioned higher than the recess 16 of the spiral groove 13, the tip of the holder 40 can be protruded from the tip of the outer cylinder 10. It is possible to easily apply the stick-shaped cosmetic material A with a reduced protrusion amount. Further, when the remaining amount of the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is reduced, it is very easy to use even when the stick-shaped cosmetic material A stored in the holder 40 is wiped with a lip brush.
[0065]
Note that after the holder 40 is positioned at the top in this way, the rod-shaped cosmetic A is drawn into the inner cylinder 20 in the same manner as the operation of pulling the rod-shaped cosmetic A after a normal feeding operation. Rotate in the opposite direction to that during the feeding operation.
[0066]
Then, the holder 40 rotates relatively horizontally with respect to the inner cylinder 20, and when the engagement protrusion 42 hits the right wall surface 35 of the vertical hole 33 of the guide hole 31, the holder 40 is prevented from rotating relative to the inner cylinder 20. The protrusion 42 slides down on the right wall surface 35 of the vertical hole 33 and the downward moving wall portion 14 of the spiral groove 13. As a result, the holder 40 moves down. The engaging protrusion 42 enters the starting end lateral groove 32 when it gets down the vertical hole 33, and abuts on the right end portion to stop.
[0067]
<When loading stick-shaped cosmetics>
In this delivery container 1, in the manufacturing process, after assembling the outer cylinder 10, the inner cylinder 20, the holder 40, and the bush ring 70, the loading operation of the bar-shaped cosmetic material A can be performed very easily.
[0068]
That is, as shown in FIG. 13, by positioning the holder 40 at the uppermost position, the tip of the holder 40 protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder 10 to the maximum, and the protruding end of the holder 40 is filled with a rod-shaped cosmetic material. A temporary cap 50 is attached. Then, the feeding container 1 is inverted and the liquid bar-shaped cosmetic raw material is injected into the holder 40 and the temporary cap 50 from the bottom opening 25 of the operation knob 21 of the inner cylinder 20.
[0069]
When the temporary cap 50 is removed when the bar-shaped cosmetic material A is solidified and the holder 40 is returned to the lowest position, the bar-shaped cosmetic material A is accommodated in the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 as shown in FIG.
[0070]
In this way, when filling the stick-shaped cosmetic material, the tip of the holder 40 can be sufficiently protruded from the tip of the outer cylinder 10, so that the temporary cap 50 can be attached to and detached from the holder 40 very easily, and the filling work Can be easily done.
[0071]
Further, even when the stick-shaped cosmetic material A solidified into a stick shape is inserted into the holder 40 and attached, the tip of the holder 40 can be protruded from the tip of the outer cylinder 10 and the attachment work is easy.
[0072]
[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the concave portion 16 of the spiral groove 13 is formed in a substantially L shape. However, the shape of the concave portion 16 is not limited to this, and the concave portion 16 can be formed in an arc shape, for example.
[0073]
FIG. 14 is a diagram showing the positional relationship among the spiral groove 13, the guide hole 31, and the engaging protrusion 42 when the engaging protrusion 42 enters the arcuate recess 16 and is forcibly stopped. A chain line is the spiral groove 13 shown in a state seen through from the outside of the outer cylinder 10.
[0074]
Even in the feeding container 1 in which the recess 16 is formed in an arc shape, the same effects as the feeding container 1 of the first embodiment are exhibited.
When the concave portion 16 is formed in an arc shape, the direction of the tangent line T with respect to the wall surface of the concave portion 16 at the upper end portion 17 of the concave portion 16 is preferably substantially vertical. In this way, the engaging protrusion 42 can be surely stopped forcibly, and the engaging protrusion 42 can be easily escaped from the recess 16 when the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 are relatively moved in the axial direction. .
[0075]
[Third embodiment]
In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, after the holder 40 is positioned at the midway forced stop position, the inner cylinder 20 is first moved downward with respect to the outer cylinder 10, and then the inner cylinder 20 is moved to the outer cylinder. 10, the relative positional relationship in the axial direction between the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20 is returned to the original state, and thereby the engagement protrusion 42 of the holder 40 is released from the recess 16 of the spiral groove 13. I have to.
[0076]
This is configured so that the inner cylinder 20 can be moved upward with respect to the outer cylinder 10 in a state where the holder 40 is positioned at the midway forced stop position, and after the holder 40 is positioned at the midway forced stop position, By moving the cylinder 20 upward with respect to the outer cylinder 10, the engagement protrusion 42 of the holder 40 is released from the recess 16 of the spiral groove 13, and subsequently the inner cylinder 20 is rotated with respect to the outer cylinder 10. It is also possible to slide the upward guide wall 15 of the spiral groove 13 with the mating protrusion 42 to move the holder 40 up to the uppermost position.
[0077]
Also in this case, it is possible to attach an elastic member between the outer cylinder 10 and the inner cylinder 20, and in this case, the inner cylinder 20 is attached so as to be biased downward with respect to the outer cylinder 10.
[0078]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the inner cylinder is attached to the outer cylinder so as to be slightly movable in the axial direction, and the upper movement guide wall is not placed in the middle of the upper movement guide wall in the spiral groove of the outer cylinder. An excellent effect is achieved in that the holder can be forcibly stopped halfway with a very simple structure that is simply added to the configuration of the conventional general bar-shaped cosmetic material dispensing container, in which a concave portion for continuous adjustment is provided. .
[0079]
Also, when the engaging projection of the holder enters the concave portion of the spiral groove, the tip of the holder is positioned by being retracted into the outer cylinder, and when the holder is positioned at the uppermost position, the tip of the holder is outside the tip of the outer cylinder. When projecting in the direction, the following effects are produced.
[0080]
After assembling the stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container, the work of loading or mounting the stick-shaped cosmetic material on the holder can be performed very easily.
Also, if the normal upper limit of the holder when the stick-shaped cosmetic material is fed out and used is set to the forced stop position on the way, only the stick-shaped cosmetic material protrudes from the tip of the outer cylinder and is exposed in the normal use state. The appearance is good and the design of the stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container is improved.
[0081]
Furthermore, when the remaining amount of the stick-shaped cosmetic material is reduced, the tip of the holder can be protruded from the tip of the outer cylinder by positioning the holder at the uppermost position. It is economical to reduce the unusable part of cosmetics as much as possible.
