Description

Applicator for hair and cosmetic container with same

technical field

The present invention relates to a hair applicator installed in a container main body for use while combing hair (including hair of humans and other pet animals) and a cosmetic container provided with the applicator. The application solution (hair dye, hair conditioner, hair conditioner, etc.) contained in the container is applied to the hair.

Background technique

Conventionally, the following cosmetic container with hair applicator is known, it installs comb member on the container that accommodates hair dye etc. The comb part combs the hair to dye the hair.

For example, there has been proposed a cosmetic container with a hair applicator consisting of a storage container for a medicinal solution as a handle and a comb connected to the container, wherein the comb consists of a hollow shaft and a comb mounted on the shaft. It is composed of a plurality of hollow comb teeth, on which non-discharge comb teeth and discharge comb teeth protrude alternately (refer to Patent Document 1). The closer the non-discharge combs and the discharge combs are to the top, the narrower the width becomes, forming a roughly triangular plate shape, and the discharge port for discharging the liquid medicine is formed through the discharge comb. The distance from the front end of the discharge comb to the discharge port Set in the range of 5 to 60% relative to the length from the front end of the discharge comb to the tail (shaft portion), and set the intervals of the discharge combs in the range of 4 to 8 mm, so that The amount of the chemical solution held between the comb teeth is suitable, and at the same time, the chemical solution can be easily and uniformly applied to the hair.

In addition, a container with a comb for coating has also been proposed, which has a hollow handle mounted on the container body to form a guide passage for the liquid agent and a comb portion with a plurality of hollow comb teeth arranged in a row. The comb teeth are formed with a liquid injection channel that communicates with the guide channel of the handle and extends along the length direction of the tooth, and a discharge port that communicates with the front end of the injection channel and penetrates the inside and outside of the comb teeth (for example, refer to Patent Document 2). Since the position of the spout is staggered in the length direction of the teeth between adjacent comb teeth, it can be applied uniformly over a wide range from the vicinity of the hair root to the hair tip, and the liquid agent can be easily applied. Cloth operation.

In addition, a cap with a comb mounted on the mouth of the container main body has also been proposed, wherein the main comb tooth pieces arranged in a row are provided with a spout that communicates with the container and opens to the side of the main comb tooth. , the two sides of the main comb-teeth are provided side by side with the front ends of the sub-comb-teeth (without openings) having the same height or more (for example, refer to Patent Document 3).

According to this configuration, the user can comb while maintaining the comb part or the comb body at approximately right angles to the scalp, and it is possible to prevent color unevenness caused by changes in the angle of the comb body when combing the hair, especially near the hair. The root part is uneven in color.

However, in these cosmetic containers for hair application, too much liquid leaks from the injection port or opening of the comb body itself, and uniform liquid cannot be supplied from the communication path or the handle path, etc., resulting in unevenness in hair dyeing. Therefore, it has been proposed to arrange a storage carrier in the container, to pre-adsorb and retain the coating liquid on the carrier, and to arrange the coating pen cores with capillary action as comb-shaped hair applicators on the comb portion ( For example, refer to Patent Documents 4 and 5). Since the comb teeth of the comb portion do not have the above-mentioned spout or opening, grooves are not formed in the passages between the comb teeth. Therefore, since the hair applicator provided with such a pen-type applicator core can uniformly supply the liquid to each comb tooth, that is, each applicator core, unevenness or the like does not occur in hair dyeing.

However, with such a conventional hair applicator, sometimes the coating liquid cannot be properly supplied to the hair, or excessive leakage (direct flow) of the coating liquid occurs, and the coating from the container cannot be The liquid is sufficiently supplied to the tip of the coating pen core. In addition, since the coating liquid from the pen core for coating is directly brought into contact with the scalp or the like, in the case of a hair dye, there is a risk of causing pain to the scalp. Moreover, if the comb part has a conventional structure, it cannot fully ensure the applicability to hair. In addition, hair loss and the like are attached to the comb member, and since trimming such as removing the hair loss and the like from the comb member cannot be easily performed, there may be disadvantages such as discarding when the coating liquid remains in the container.

When the hair is combed by this comb portion 30, the applicator can 10 Apply the coating liquid in the container main body 2 to the hair.

In the cosmetic container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 , the resin container body 2 is formed into a cylindrical shape. The tail end 2A of the container main body 2 is open, and the storage carrier 4 shown in FIG. 3 is inserted into the container main body 2 and accommodated. A coating liquid as a cosmetic is carried on the carrier 4 . Threads are formed on the inner wall of the tail end 2A, and threads are also formed on the cover part 5B. After the two are screwed together, the opening is sealed, and the cover part 5B squeezes the end 4A of the carrier 4 to fix it. In addition, a cover member 5A having a decorative effect on the cover member 5B is mounted on the cover member 5B.

The storage carrier 4 is not limited as long as it is a carrier capable of carrying the coating liquid, and the material thereof is not limited, and examples thereof include center-cut cotton and the like.

A rectangular cylindrical mounting hole 6 , an insertion hole 7 , and a threaded portion 9 are formed at the front end 2B of the container body 2 , and the mounting hole 6 is formed approximately at the center. The plate-shaped porous application body 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 6, and the comb member 11 made of resin is mounted and fixed in the insertion hole 7 provided in both sides. The screwing portion 9 is screwed to a screwing portion of a cap described later. The porous coating body 10 is filled in the installation hole 6 via the rectangular support member 12 , and the plate-shaped porous coating body 10 is arranged along the axial direction of the container main body 2 . In addition, the rear end 10A of the porous application body 10 is inserted into the front end 4B of the above-mentioned carrier 4 for connection during filling.

In addition, the outer wall surface of the rectangular support member 12 and the simple inner wall surface of the mounting hole 6 are in close contact with each other so as to be liquid-tight, and the rectangular support member 12 can be attached and detached from the mounting hole 6, and can also be completely fixed.

The porosity (Vd) of the porous coated body 10 is preferably in the range of 70 to 85%, particularly preferably in the range of 68 to 85%. Wherein, the porosity is Vd={1-(w/(ρsh))}×100, w is the mass of the porous coating body, s is the cross-sectional area of the porous coating body, and ρ is the mass of the porous coating body. Average density, h is the length of the porous coating body.

If the porous coating body 10 having the porosity in the above range is used, the leakage (direct flow) of the coating liquid can be prevented, and an appropriate coating liquid can be supplied to the comb portion 30 . If the porosity of the coating liquid is lower than the above range, it will be difficult to supply an appropriate coating liquid from the container. On the other hand, if it exceeds the above range, it will be difficult to prevent direct current.

As the material of the porous coating body that can be used within the above-mentioned range, elongated pen cores, felt-like objects, open-cell sponge-like objects, and the like are preferable.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the comb member 11 is formed of a resin molded member, and includes a bottom 13 and a plurality of comb teeth 14 provided at regular intervals on the front end surface of the bottom 13 .

In the inner cap 16, an opening 22 that is in contact with the top surface of the front end 2B of the container main body 2 is formed. In addition, the front end of the inner cap 16 is provided with a molded part that separates the comb teeth 14 from the porous coating body 10, And hold the guide holes 21 of the guide protrusions at their front ends. A coil spring 23 is arranged in the middle cap 17 .

As for the cosmetic container 1 with an applicator constituted in this way, since the porous applicator 10 is used in the structure of the comb part 30, its applicability is better than that of directly providing the coating liquid on the comb itself. The outlet is more excellent. In addition, by setting the porosity of the porous coating body 10 within a predetermined range, it is possible to sufficiently prevent leakage (direct flow) of the coating liquid and to supply an appropriate and uniform coating liquid to the comb portion 30 .

In addition, the comb teeth 14 of the comb member 11 are arranged adjacent to such a porous coating body 10, and by making the front ends of the comb teeth of the comb member protrude within a predetermined range, the coating liquid from the coating body can be prevented from Works directly on the scalp. Therefore, it does not pollute the skin. In addition, by setting the adjacent range within a predetermined range, it is possible to prevent the comb member 11 from being stained with the coating liquid, and to ensure a good combing state and ensure sufficient coating properties.

In the above embodiment, the front end 2B of the container body 2 is formed integrally with the container body 2 as a part of the comb portion 30, and the hair applicator of the present invention is used as the comb portion 30 of the cosmetic container 1 with an applicator. to set, but not limited to.
