  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gel-like cosmetic container that is suitable for a usage in which a puff having an application surface is pressed down lightly from above.

  The inventor can use the gel almost uniformly from the beginning until it is used up by pressing down lightly with a puff having a flat surface or a coating surface almost similar to this, and allows the cosmetic to uniformly adhere on the puff. The shape cosmetic container was examined and trial production was repeated. As a result, if the mesh attached to the container has a characteristic way of bending, it can be used with almost the same feeling from the beginning until it is used up. It was found that the ease of use was improved by installing an intermediate dish having a structure, and the present invention was completed.

That is, the present invention

  As shown in FIG. 2, the gel cosmetic container 1 of the above aspect is threaded to be screwed onto the lid 3 on the upper outer surface, and the mesh member 4 described later is locked on the upper inner surface. The locking projection 7 is provided. Further, the bottom portion of the container is formed with a bottom levee-like structure 9 so as to gradually increase from the center toward the periphery to the elastic member 5, and then falls to form the elastic member storage portion 8. Yes. The elastic member 5 is held on the inner peripheral portion of the container body 2 by the elastic member storage portion 8 and the mesh member 4 locked by the locking protrusion 7.

  FIG. 1 shows the shape of the gel cosmetic container 1 according to the present invention when viewed from above, that is, its planar shape, with the lid 3 removed. In this embodiment, although it is a circle, the planar shape of the container is not limited to this, and may be an ellipse, a rectangle, or a regular polygon. The container body 2 preferably has a flat shape with a diameter larger than the height, and the material thereof is generally used as a cosmetic container, for example, plastic, glass, metal, or the like is used. be able to. In addition, the bottom part bank-like structure 9 of the container main body 2 has not only the function of forming the elastic member accommodating part 8 as described above, but also the function of making it easy to take the filled gel cosmetic A to the end.

  The mesh member 4 installed on the upper part of the gel cosmetic A filled in the container body 2 includes a mesh 4a and a holding frame 4b. Among these, the mesh 4a is a sheet formed of elastic fibers, for example, polyester, polyurethane, nylon, rayon, silk, etc. having a density of about 10 to 100 denier, and the mesh opening is about 0.3 mm to 5 mm. Is preferred. On the other hand, the holding frame 4b for holding the mesh 4a has a plane shape that is substantially the same as the plane shape of the container body 2, and has a mesh 4a attached to the central opening thereof. Instead, it is locked by the locking projection 7 of the container body 2 by the upper flange 6. The holding frame 4b has sufficient strength to push down the elastic member 5 described later.

  The mesh 4a may be attached to the holding frame 4b by bonding with an adhesive or the like, or by integrating both by heat melting. The holding frame 4b of the mesh member 4 may have a flat upper surface, but may be provided with an inward taper so that the cosmetics dropped from the puff can easily return to the mesh 4a.

  In the container main body 2 of FIG. 1, the elastic member 5 is held on the inner peripheral portion of the container main body 2 by the elastic member storage portion 8 and the mesh member 4 as described above. When the puff presses the mesh 4a, the elastic member 5 is elastically compressed by the holding frame 4b that is pushed down in conjunction with the mesh 4a, and has greater elasticity than the mesh 4a in use. is there.

In FIG. 1, as the elastic member 5, a cylindrical material formed of a foamable polymer resin material such as polyurethane, polystyrene, polypropylene, or silicone is used. However, the elastic member 5 is not limited to this as long as it has appropriate elasticity. It may be a coil type formed of plastic or metal or a spring-like object using a leaf spring, or a bellows structure. In addition, when using the foamable resin made of polyurethane as the elastic member 5, it has open cells, the number of cells (number of bubbles) is about 5 to 80 per 25 mm of the surface, and the density is 20 to 70 kg / m. It is preferable to use about ^three .

  Finally, the lid 3 covering the container body 2 will be described. In this case, a screw for screwing with the thread on the upper outer surface of the container body is formed inside. The lid 3 may have a double structure or a sealing in order to increase the sealing degree.

  Although FIG. 1 shows a jar type (cream bottle type) in which the lid and the container body can be separated, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is a compact type in which the lid and the container body can be attached via a hinge part. May be.

  Next, the gel cosmetic container according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of a gel cosmetic container according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view showing a side surface of an intermediate dish used for the container. In the figure, 1 to 9 and A are the same as described above, 10 is an intermediate dish, 10a is a flange portion, and 10b is a bellows structure.

  This aspect is basically the same as the above-described aspect in terms of each member and its function, but differs in that an inner dish 10 for storing the gel cosmetics A is installed inside the container body 2. The inner tray 10 is made of a material having a certain degree of elasticity, such as plastic, and has a flange portion 10a on its upper portion and a bellows structure 10b on its side surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the flange portion 10a of the inner tray 10 is held by the elastic member 5 and the holding frame 4b. This holding may be simple pinching or may be fixed to the holding frame 4b by adhesion, fusion, or the like. In addition, in FIG. 3, although the inner tray has the flange part 10a, it is not restricted to this, The inner tray which has only the bellows structure 10b may be sufficient.

  On the other hand, the bellows structure 10b provided on the side surface of the inner plate 4 is compressed and contracted simultaneously when the elastic member 5 is compressed by the downward movement of the mesh member 4 when pushed down by the puff. Therefore, even if the inner tray 10 is provided inside the container main body 2, it does not interfere with taking the gel cosmetics into the puff.

  In this embodiment, as described above, the gel cosmetic A is filled in the inner dish 10 and is not adsorbed to other parts, for example, the elastic member 5. Can be maintained in a clean state, and can also be a refill type.

  The gel-like cosmetic container 1 of the present invention or the gel-like cosmetic A filled in the inner dish 10 accommodated therein is not particularly limited, but as an example of a preferred one, the following composition is used. The thing which has.

Component (%)
(1) Titanium oxide 4.0
(2) Iron oxide 0.5
(3) Talc 1.0
(4) 1,3-butylene glycol 12.0
(5) Mineral oil 2.0
(6) Ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate 2.0
(7) Triethanolamine stearate 1.0
(8) Settleteallyl alcohol 0.5
(9) Methyl paraoxybenzoate (10) Agar 2.0
(11) Hydrophobic modified polyether urethane ^{* 1} 0.3
(12) Purified water remaining amount * 1: Adecanol GT-700 (manufactured by ADEKA Corporation)

  The gel cosmetic of the above composition is a non-flowable gel in a state where no special force is applied. For example, the coated surface is flat or close to this, that is, it is not a simple flat surface, but has a curvature. When the surface is pushed down through the mesh 4a so as to tap lightly from above with a puff formed of an elastic material such as a sponge having a large curved surface, the gel collapses to form a liquid, which adheres uniformly to the application surface of the puff. Therefore, it can be applied evenly and cleanly on the skin.

  In addition, as an example of the puff which can be preferably used in the gel cosmetic container of the present invention, a sponge puff 20 as shown in FIG. 5 can be exemplified. The puff 20 is formed in an approximately darling axisymmetric shape having an upper surface 21, a lower surface (application surface) 22, and side surfaces 23. Further, a constricted portion 24 is formed on the upper surface 21 side from the center of the side surface 23 so that the area value of the cross section is smaller than that of the other portions. Are formed with an upper waist portion 25 that bulges in the expanding direction, and a lower waist portion 26 that bulges in the expanding direction is formed between the neck portion 24 and the lower surface 22.

  The puff 20 has a constricted portion 24 having a minimum cross-sectional area value between the upper surface 21 and the lower surface 22, and the lower surface 22 is configured by a flat surface serving as an application surface. An area between the lower waistline portion 26 closest to the surface and the application portion is formed, and the lower surface 22 forms an application surface. As shown in FIG. By gently tapping the surface of the gel cosmetic material A on the lower surface 22 of 20 through the mesh 4a, the gel cosmetic material can be taken uniformly.

  The feature of the container 1 of the present invention is that the mesh 4a and the elastic member 5 (and the bellows structure 10b of the inner tray 10 if necessary) are used as members having elasticity and bending. That is, when the cosmetic container 1 of the present invention is used, the application surface of the puff 20 is in contact with the surface of the gel cosmetic A while maintaining its shape, and is made liquid to adhere to the surface of the application surface. There is a need. However, if the elastic member 5 is not provided and only the mesh 4a is formed, the degree to which the mesh 4a bends while maintaining the shape of the coating surface is limited by the elasticity even when pressure is applied by a puff from above. If the pressure exceeds this limit, the shape of the coated surface cannot be maintained, and the cosmetic material cannot be uniformly adhered to the coated surface of the puff. Therefore, the amount (filling height) of the gel cosmetic A filled in the container is limited.

  On the other hand, in the container of the present invention, as schematically shown in FIG. 7, for example, even when the filled gel cosmetic A is reduced, when force is applied with a puff from above, First, when the mesh 4a is bent (FIG. 7B) and does not reach the surface of the gel cosmetic A, a downward force is applied to the elastic member 5 via the holding frame 4b of the mesh 4a (FIG. 7). (C)), it is possible to reach the surface of the underlying gel cosmetic A while maintaining the puff application surface, and evenly liquid on the puff application surface. Therefore, it becomes possible to apply the cosmetic material. That is, the mesh 4a has a smaller elastic value than the elastic member 5 in the use state.

  And when the bottom part bank-like structure 9 which becomes high in order from the center to the circumference to the place of the elastic member 5 is formed in the bottom part, reduce the residual amount of the gel cosmetic A at the end of use. Is economical.

  According to the present invention, in combination with the characteristics of the gel-like cosmetic A filled in the container body 2, the liquid makeup which has not been envisaged in the past and has been formed into a liquid shape by an operation of pushing down lightly from above. It is possible to provide a new cosmetic method in which the material is uniformly taken and applied.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide a new field in the cosmetic industry as a technology that supports a new cosmetic method that has not existed before.
