BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention of the present application relates to an application container for applying a liquid composition by providing comb teeth for application to a hollow container containing a cosmetic liquid such as a hair dye or a hair conditioner for dyeing or styling hair. An applicator composed of comb teeth that can cleanly and uniformly apply a liquid hair dye, hairdressing agent, and other cosmetics to the hair without contaminating fingers and clothes, and the applicator using the hair dye and The present invention relates to an application container provided on the mouth and neck of a hollow liquid container main body containing a solution such as a hairdressing agent.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When applying makeup to hair using a hair dye or hair styling agent, etc., conventionally, the contents of the hair dye, etc., are taken in small amounts from a container containing the hair dye, etc. Or apply a small amount of hair dye on a small brush or comb for application and apply to the hair part to be applied, and then gently comb the hair with a comb or brush. I was preparing my hair.
However, it is difficult to apply hair dyeing solution easily and evenly to the hair with such a hair makeup method as described above, and not only the hair and the scalp become dirty with the hair dye, but also the content liquid such as hair dye splatters. The clothes may get dirty.
[0003]
Because of the reasons mentioned above, it is more reliable with a simpler method that makes it possible to clean the hair without making your hands and clothes dirty, and without causing uneven makeup. There is a demand for a hair cosmetic container including an application tool that can be applied.
For this reason, a cosmetic containing a cosmetic agent such as a hair comb or a hair styling agent is attached to a container containing a cosmetic agent such as a hair dye or a hair styling agent, and an applicator such as a comb or a brush is applied to the hair. Various cosmetic containers have been developed that can be applied without soiling the fingers by automatically supplying the container to the applicator.
[0004]
Under such circumstances, as a cosmetic container formed by attaching various comb-like applicators to a container containing a cosmetic agent and applying the cosmetic agent directly to the hair, it has been conventionally used. As shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-240904, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-9330, etc., a comb is attached to the mouth and neck of a press-deformable hollow container containing a cosmetic agent such as a hair dye. In addition, a type of pressing the body wall of the container to squeeze and apply the internal cosmetic, and cosmetics such as hair dyes as seen in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-51786 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-131235 There is an aerosol-type coating container in which comb teeth are detachably attached to a hollow container that contains hair, and the hair dye is foamed and applied by the pressure of a high-pressure gas filled therein.
[0005]
All of the above-mentioned types of application containers form a narrow outflow passage for supplying a hair dye into the holding body that holds the comb teeth in a vegetated state, and the comb teeth are aligned in parallel from the tip of the holding body to the hand. And a container having a comb comb-like applicator provided with a hair dye outflow hole in the middle of the comb teeth.
In these comb-shaped applicators, as shown in FIG. 8, the shoulder cover portion 33a of the nozzle portion 33 is screwed to the mouth and neck portion 32 of the hollow container 31 containing a solution such as a hair dye, A comb support 34 is fitted and fixed to the tip of the nozzle, and the barrel 31 of the container 31 is held in the hand and the barrel wall 31a is pressed to be deformed or pressurized. By injecting gas and extruding cosmetics such as hair dyes contained in the container, the gas is discharged from the nozzle tip 33a to the outlet path 35 formed in the support 34 of the comb portion, and the spout 35a The hair coloring agent is applied by discharging between the comb teeth 36 through the discharge ports 36b through the discharge passages 36a formed in the comb teeth 36 and contacting the head teeth with the comb teeth 36.
[0006]
An applicator container using such a comb-like applicator can be applied while supplying a sufficient amount of cosmetics such as a hair dye to the comb teeth part, so that it is possible to apply to the scalp without soiling the hands. It is convenient that operations such as hair dyeing can be performed on the hair without causing adhesion or splashing on clothes.
However, when using a comb-like applicator as described above for an aerosol-type application container, if the gas injection part is pushed too far, the hair dye or the like is scattered by the gas pressure and adheres to the skin, clothes, etc. There are things to do.
Moreover, the applicator having a comb-like shape as described above has a delicate and complicated structure, and is composed of a large number of parts, so its manufacturing cost has to be increased. There is a need for an applicator that has a simple structure and can be manufactured inexpensively.
[0007]
Therefore, in place of the applicator composed of the combed teeth having a complicated structure as described above, the applicator is configured as a coating container using a simpler applicator so that the applicator is made as few parts as possible. It is considered that the manufacturing cost of the coating container is reduced.
And as an application container using the applicator having such a simple structure, those described in Utility Model Registration No. 3058286, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-30980, etc. are known, The applicant has already proposed what is seen in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-275739, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-275552, etc., but the application container found in these is a hollow container containing a solution such as a hair dye. A plurality of comb teeth are arranged in a row on a lid-like body that is screwed into and closely adhered to the mouth-neck portion of the container main body, and is formed so that it can be applied.
[0008]
As shown in FIG. 6, these application containers have a plurality of comb teeth 23 arranged in a row on a top plate portion 22 a of a cylindrical lid body 22, and a container on the upper side surface of the comb teeth. The mouth-and-neck portion of the hollow container 21 in which the body wall 21a containing a solution such as a hair dye can be deformed by pressing the applicator 25 provided with a spout 23a communicating with the internal hair dye so that the hair dye can be applied. It is configured to be screwed and closely attached to each other.
As shown in FIG. 7, the applicator 25 is open to the comb teeth except for the frame comb teeth 23b at both ends, penetrating through the spout 23a on both upper side surfaces, and from the spout to the top plate portion. An extraction path 23c that penetrates the inside of the comb teeth to the lower surface of the comb teeth 23 is formed, and an uneven surface 23d composed of lateral grooves and ribs is formed on the tooth surface above the outlet 23a of each comb tooth 23. It has a simple structure that allows the hair dye in the container body to be applied.
[0009]
The applicator container having the applicator 25 can be manufactured at a low cost because it has a very simple structure as compared with that of the above-mentioned comb-like applicator, but as shown in FIG. Furthermore, when the inner solution is poured out by applying pressure to the body wall 21a of the container while the application container 21 is turned upside down, if the air is present in the container, the content liquid is uniformly applied from each tooth. Without being poured out, the solution discharged from the comb teeth 23 may become uneven and may be discharged in large quantities from one discharge port 23a. Especially, when applying to the hair on the side of the head, When the comb teeth are used sideways, the solution is often ejected and scattered at the same time as the air in the container.
Therefore, in the application container using the applicator in which the comb teeth are erected in a row as described above, even when the applicator is used in the horizontal direction, the hair dye etc. in the container vigorously move with the air. Appearance of an applicator container having an applicator that can be applied uniformly without being discharged and scattered well is desired.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The invention of the present application has been devised as a solution to the above-mentioned problems, and is screwed onto the mouth and neck of a hollow container containing a liquid cosmetic such as a hair dye to apply the internal solution to the hair. By forming the applicator in the simplest possible structure, it can be assembled with a small number of parts to reduce the manufacturing cost of the applicator, and at the same time, the cosmetics in the container are poured out An applicator formed in a structure that can be applied without splashing cosmetics poured into the comb teeth from the container when applied to the part, and an application container for a hair dye or the like provided with the applicator For the purpose.
[0011]
