Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair-care applicator (applicator for hair) and a cosmetic container with the applicator, and relates to a hair-care applicator which is attached to a container body to apply an applicator liquid (hair dye, hair liquid, hair tonic etc.) stored in the container while combing hair (including hairs of humans and others such aspetanimals, etc.) as well as to a cosmetic container equipped with that applicator.
  • an applicator liquid hair dye, hair liquid, hair tonic etc.
  • the non-ejecting comb teeth and ejecting comb teeth each are formed in an approximately triangular plate-like configuration so that the width becomes narrower as it goes toward its top, and the ejecting comb teeth are each formed with an ejection through hole from which medical fluid is ejected.
  • the distance from the tip of the ejecting comb tooth to the ejection hole is specified to fall within a range of 5 to 60 % of the length from the tip of the ejection comb tooth to the proximal end (shaft) while the interval between ejecting comb teeth is specified to fall within a range of 4 to 8 mm.
  • This specification makes optimal the amount of medical fluid held between comb teeth and makes application of medical fluid over hair easy and uniform.
  • a comb-equipped application container which is a container having a hollow handle portion attached to a container body and serving as a fluid guiding passage and a comber having a large number of hollow comb teeth arranged longitudinally, wherein each tooth has a fluid ejection path connected to the guiding passage of the handle portion and extended along the tooth length and ejection holes that are connected to the front end of the ejection path and penetrate through the comb tooth from the front to rear(see patent document 2, for example).
  • the ejection holes are arranged so that their positions are shifted between adjacent comb teeth with respect to the tooth length direction.
  • a comb-equipped cap to be attached to a brim of a container body, in which a row of main comb teeth is provided, the main comb teeth being formed with ejection holes that open on the side faces thereof and are connected to the container interior.
  • the comb-equipped cap also has sub comb teeth (without holes) which are arranged on both sides along the main comb-teeth with their tips as high as or higher than those of the main comb teeth (see patent document 3, for example).

  • the present inventors hereof have found that in the comber structure of a hair applicator, use of a porous application body is more excellent than direct provision of feed openings or ejection openings for comb teeth themselves. They also have found that when such a porous application body is used, a comb member (a normal comb) arranged along with it is supplementally needed. They have further found that in order to prevent liquid leakage (forward leakage) of the application liquid and supply the application liquid to the comber appropriately, the used porous application body should have a porosity (Vd) ranging from 70 to 85%, particularly preferably from 68 to 85 %, and have completed the present invention.
  • Vd porosity
  • the present inventors hereof have found that when the aforementioned comb member is provided supplementally, the tips of comb teeth of the comb member are adapted to stick further out from the top end of the porous application body by the range of 0.2 to 3.0 mm, whereby it is possible to avoid the application liquid from the application body being directly applied to and dirtying the scalp and apply the hairline from, essentially, the hair roots so as to make the unpainted place along the hairline unrecognizable.
  • the comb applicator of the present invention and applicator-equipped cosmetic container are characterized by the following configurations and means described in (1) to (8).
  • the porous application body including comb-shaped, bar-shaped and other plate-like porous application bodies
  • examples of application bodies including sliver pen cores, felt-like materials, continuous-foamed sponge-like materials, etc.
  • Vd porosity
  • a hair care applicator of the present invention and a cosmetic container equipped with the applicator will be described in detail based on the best mode for carrying out the present invention.
  • the hair care applicator of the present invention and the applicator-equipped cosmetic container should not be limited to the following embodiment.
  • an applicator-equipped cosmetic container 1 of the present embodiment is specifically composed of a comber 30 can a container body 2.
  • Comber 30 as the hair care applicator is composed of comb members 11 and a plate-shaped porous application body 10 arranged with the comb members 11, and is constructed such that an application fluid in a container body 2 can be applied over hair by way of application body 10 as hair is combed with comber 30.
  • resin container body 2 is formed in a cylindrical shape.
  • a rear end 2A of container body 2 is made open so that a reservoir support member 4 shown in FIG. 3 can be inserted and stored into container body 2.
  • Support member 4 supports an application fluid or cosmetic substance.
  • the inner wall at rear end 2A is formed with a thread while a lid member 5B is also formed with a thread so that the two are screw fitted to each other to seal off the opening.
  • Lid member 5B is fixed pressing the rear end 4B of support member 4.
  • a lid member 5A for design purposes is attached to lid member 5B.
  • the material should not be particularly limited as long as it can support the applicator liquid. For example, padding etc., can be considered.
  • a rectangular cylindrical attachment hole 6, socket holes 7 and a threaded portion 9 are formed, the attachment hole 6 being formed at the approximate center.
  • Plate-shaped porous application body 10 is inserted into attachment hole 6 while comb members 11 made of resin are attached to socket holes 7 arranged on both sides. Threaded portion 9 is screw fitted to a threaded portion of an aftermentioned cap.
  • Porous application body 10 is mounted into attachment hole 6 by means of a rectangular support member 12, so that porous application body 10 is arranged in an upright position along the axial direction of container body 2.
  • the proximal end 10A of porous application body 10 is inserted into part of the top end 4B of the aforementioned support member 4 and coupled when it is mounted.
  • the exterior wall surface of rectangular support member 12 is put in fluid-tight contact with the cylindrical interior wall surface of attachment hole 6, and support member 12 may be fitted either removably to, or totally fixed to, attachment hole 6.
  • the aforementioned porous application body 10 has a porosity (Vd) ranging from 70 to 85%, particularly preferably from 68 to 85 %.
  • Vd porosity
  • the porosity of the application body is lower than the above range, it becomes difficult to provide a suitable supply of the application liquid from the container. On the contrary, it exceeds the above range, it becomes difficult to prevent forward leakage.
  • a porous application body material usable within the aforementioned range sliver pen cores, felt-like materials, continuous-foamed sponge-like materials, etc., are preferable.
  • Comb member 11 is formed of a molded member of resin as shown in FIG. 4, and is constructed of a base 13 and a plurality of comb teeth 14 arranged on the top end face of base 13 at regular intervals.
  • Base 13 is formed to be an engaging portion to be detachably engaged into the aforementioned socket hole 7.
  • the distal part of comb tooth 14 is made round.
  • this amount of projection (L) makes it possible to apply the application liquid to most of the hairs only from their roots without delivering the application liquid to the scalp and others.
  • the amount of projection is lower than the above range, there is a risk that porous application body 10 directly comes into contact with the scalp.
  • it exceeds the above range it is difficult to supply sufficient application to the hair roots.
  • porous application body 10 and comb teeth 14 are preferably arranged closely along side each other so that they are kept out of contact from each other with a spacing S of 5.0 mm or lower, and are particularly preferably arranged apart from each other a distance falling within the range of 0.5 to 3.5 mm.
  • comber 30 as the hair care applicator according to the present invention is constituted of top end 2A of container body 2, porous application body 10, rectangular support member 12 and comb members 11 of base 13 and comb teeth 14.
  • Cap 15 is composed of an inner cap 16, a middle cap 17 and an outer cap 18.
  • Inner cap 16 is formed with an opening portion 22 that abuts the top face of top end 2B of container body 2. Further, in the top end part of inner cap 16 guide hollows 21 with guide projections for separating comb teeth 14 and porous application body 10 and for holding the distal ends of these are formed.
  • a coil spring 23 is arranged inside middle cap 17.
  • porous application body 10 is used in the structure of comber 30, this structure presents more excellent application performance than that where ejection holes of the application liquid are formed in the comb teeth themselves.
  • specifying for porous application body 10 its porosity within the predetermined range makes it possible to sufficiently prevent liquid leakage (forward leakage) of the application liquid and provide a suitable and uniform supply of the application liquid to comber 30.
  • rows of comb teeth 14 of comb members 11 are arranged close to the thus formed porous application body 10, and the distal ends of the comb teeth of the comb members are projected with the predetermined amount, whereby it is possible to prevent the application liquid from the application body from being directly delivered to the scalp. Accordingly, there is no risk of dirtying the scalp.
  • specifying the closeness within the predetermined range makes it possible to prevent the application liquid from dirtying comb members 11 as well as to assure a good combing condition and a sufficient application performance.
  • top end 2B of container body 2 is formed as part of comber 30 integrally with container body 2 so that the hair care applicator according to the present invention is provided as comber 30 of applicator-equipped cosmetic container 1.
  • the top end part of container body 2 may be formed as a detachable lid member so that the hair care applicator may be provided as a separate part from the cosmetic container.
  • support member 12 of porous applicationbody 10 and combmembers 11 maybe detachable from container body 2, they may be configured so as to be fixed to container body 2. In this case, it is preferred that at least one of porous body 10 and comb members 11 is adapted to be detachable.
  • comb members 11 are made of resin, other materials than this can be used.
  • metal, natural resin, other natural comb material etc. may be used.
  • resin and metal which are material having precision formability, are preferable.
  • lid member 5B is removable from reservoir support 4, however lid member 5B may be totally fixed thereto, if required, so as not to be detachable.
  • the application liquid is a hair dye but should not be limited thereto. Examples may include a hair liquid, a hair tonic, a hair shining agent for pets and other animals, and others. Also, these application liquids should meet the relationship as to liquid retention force with the aforementioned porous application body.
  • FIG. 5 shows another mode of an applicator-equipped cosmetic container according to the present invention.
  • the porous application body is made up of a plurality of pen type porous application elements 41, and these porous application elements 41 are arranged in a row by a binding member 42 along the adjoining comb teeth.
  • These pen type porous application elements 41 have a porosity (Vd) falling within the range of 70 to 85 %, similarly to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
  • front ends of comb teeth 14 of comb members 13 are arranged so as to stick further out from the front ends of pen type porous application elements 41, by 0.2 to 3.0 mm while comb teeth 14 and porous application elements 41 are kept out of contact with each other with a spacing of 5.0 mm or lower.
  • Porous application elements 41 supported by binding member 42 are arranged so as to be apart from each other a distance ranging from 0.4 to 4.0 mm, more preferably, a distance ranging from 0. 6 to 2.0 mm.
  • a distance smaller than the above range causes difficulty in combing with a greater number of shed hairs entangled.
  • a distance greater than the above range makes the contactness between hair and pen type porous application elements 41 per unit mass worse, resulting in insufficient application performance.
  • the hair-care applicator of the present invention and its applicator-equipped cosmetic container, when an application liquid (hair dye, hair liquid, hair tonic, etc.) stored in a container is applied to hair while coming the hair with the comber provided for the container body, it is possible to provide a suitable supply of the application liquid without causing any liquid leakage of the application liquid as well as to secure sufficient application performance without causing direct contact of the application liquid with the scalp, hence the invention presents high industrial usability while keeping excellent performance.
  • an application liquid hair dye, hair liquid, hair tonic, etc.
