Description

The present invention relates to a coated product in which a coated material having a polygonal cross section is housed in a container.

Conventionally, a coated product including a coated material having a quadrangular cross section and a container in which the coated material is extrudably housed in a container body provided with an extrusion mechanism is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, in the case described in Patent Document 1, since the entire container body is a square columnar shape, the holding region held by the user's fingers so as to be pinched from both sides is also square in cross section. Therefore, only a certain holding posture can be taken, and a coating mode other than pressing one side of the coated object having a rectangular cross section against the object to be coated has not been considered. That is, there was no idea of changing the coating width.

It is designed so that it can be placed. In other words, the shape of the container 3 gradually changes from the rear end side to the front end side, and the cross-sectional area on the front end side is set to be larger than the cross-sectional area on the rear end side. This makes it possible to keep the container 3 standing upright in a stable manner.

With such a configuration, by rotating the operation unit 8, the tip end portion of the coating material 2 stored in the container body 4 can be projected from the front end of the container body 4 by a desired amount. Therefore, with the cap 5 removed, the holding area 9 of the container body 4 is held by being pinched from both sides with, for example, the thumb and the index finger, and the tip of the coated object 2 is pressed against an object to be coated such as paper to move. By allowing the coating material 2 to be applied, the coating material 2 can be applied to a desired portion of the coating object. Since the coating material 2 of this embodiment has a prismatic shape, as shown in FIG. 10, the tip corner portion 2a of the coating material 2 is pressed against the coating object to apply the coating material 2 to a thin linear region. As shown in FIG. 11, the coating material 2 can be applied to a wide band-shaped region by pressing the tip end side portion 2b of the coating material 2 against the coating object. At that time, the holding region 9 picked by the user with the thumb T and the index finger F is composed of a cylindrical surface having a circular cross section, and the holding region 9 has a constant anteroposterior dimension. It can be held without discomfort even when the coating work is performed. Moreover, even when switching from the first usage mode shown in FIG. 10 to the second usage mode shown in FIG. 11, the container body 4 is moved to the axis L by finely moving the thumb T and the index finger F without separating them from the container body 4. Since it is only necessary to rotate it around, various coating actions can be efficiently performed. Further, since the container body 4 can be rotated around the axis L in the middle of the coating work to change the coating angle, there is also a request to apply the coating material 2 to the margin of the envelope, which is the coating target, without any gaps. It is possible. Further, it is easy to take an intermediate usage pattern between the usage pattern shown in FIG. 10 and the usage pattern shown in FIG. 11, and it is possible to proceed with the coating operation while finely adjusting the coating width. In addition, when the coating material 2 is applied to the wide strip-shaped region, not only the tip side portion 2b of the coating material 2 is pressed against the coating object as shown in FIG. 11, but also the tip of the coating material 2 is pressed. It is also possible to apply the coated object 2 to the coated object by pressing it face-to-face against the coated object and applying the coated object 2 to the coated object with the width of the diagonal line of the coated object 2. Further, by devising the cross-sectional shape of the coating material 2, the coating width can be changed in a plurality of stages or can be changed continuously. Moreover, since the rear end side of the container body 4, more specifically, the rear end side 6b of the body 6 has a polygonal cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the coating material 2, the coating material is coated even when the cap 5 is attached. Not only can the shape of 2 be suggested to the user, but also the coated material 2 can be accommodated without a gap inside the coating material 2, and the dead space can be minimized to make the entire coated product 1 compact.

The coated material is not limited to glue, and may be any material to be applied, and includes, for example, a core material for writing, cosmetics, and the like.

Further, the shape of the container is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment, but as in the above-described embodiment, the shape gradually changes from the rear end side to the front end side, and the shape of the container gradually changes from the rear end side to the front end side. If the cross-sectional area of is larger than the cross-sectional area of the rear end, it can be stably erected in a posture with the front end side facing down. In particular, if the cross-sectional shape of the container body gradually and smoothly changes from the rear end side toward the holding region, it is possible to realize a cross-sectional shape suitable for each location without causing discomfort in the outer shape. can.

In addition, the shape of the coated material and the rear end side of the container body is not limited to a square cross section, and may be any shape such as a triangular cross section or a hexagonal cross section as long as it has a polygonal cross section.

In addition, various changes may be made as long as the gist of the present invention is not impaired.
