Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates the entire coating container.

As shown in FIG. 2, the coating container 1 includes a body 2, an applicator member 3, and a cap 4.

The body 2 is formed by enclosing a coating agent such as a liquid deodorant composition, a cosmetic agent, or a drug inside, and is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an open upper side.

A tubular portion (2a, 2b) having a smaller diameter in two stages is provided above the predetermined position in the middle in the central axis direction of the body 2. The outer diameter of the small diameter tubular portion 2a on the base side is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter tubular portion 2b on the tip side.

The applicator member 3 is attached to the tip side small diameter tubular portion 2b by, for example, press fitting, and the cap 4 is detachably attached to the base side small diameter tubular portion 2a by, for example, a screw (reference numeral omitted). It has become.

The applicator member 3 takes out the coating agent in the body 2 and transfers it to the coating partner, and has a configuration in which the ball 3a is rotatably attached to the holder 3b.

The cap 4 conceals the applicator member 3 when not in use and exposes it when in use, and is formed in a shape that gradually narrows from the lower opening toward the upper side.

The step wall surface 2c on the upper side of the body 2 and the outer periphery of the small diameter tubular portion 2a on the base side is used as a dripping surface for receiving the coating agent when the coating agent drips from the applicator member 3.

The coating container 1 of this embodiment is devised so as to be hard to shake and easy to hold when the body 2 is grasped from below with one hand, and will be described in detail below.

Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the eagle grip is a hill portion in the palm of one hand, for example, the palm (mainly Saturn hill, Jupiter hill, and sun hill, which is also referred to as the base portion of each finger). This is a form in which the bottom surface of the body 2 of the coating container 1 is touched and the outer peripheral predetermined position of the body 2 is grasped by each fingertip of the one hand. For example, the bottom surface of the body 2 of the coating container 1 is applied to Saturn Hill, Jupiter Hill, or an intermediate portion thereof, and the outer peripheral predetermined position of the body 2 is grasped mainly by the tips of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger. Can be mentioned.

The coating container 1 of the above embodiment is provided with a hook portion 5 for hooking each fingertip of one hand at a predetermined position below the step wall surface 2c of the body 2, and the height from the bottom surface of the body 2 to the hook portion 5. The dimension H and the maximum outer diameter dimension R of the body 2 are set. Further, the lower part of the body 2 (lower side from a predetermined position in the middle in the central axis direction) is formed into a curved surface shape in which the diameter is gradually reduced toward the lower end (bottom surface).

In this embodiment, the hook portion 5 is an annular groove, and the groove bottom of the annular groove is a concave portion having a curved surface shape such as a partially spherical shape.

The height dimension H can be set to "42 to 58 mm", preferably "45 to 55 mm". Further, the maximum outer diameter dimension R can be set to "40 to 55 mm", preferably "42 to 50 mm".

Further, the hooking allowance of each fingertip with respect to the hooking portion 5 (for example, the maximum depth of the annular groove) is "0.35 mm or more" so that the state can be easily maintained when each fingertip is hooked on the hooking portion 5. , Preferably "0.4 to 2 mm".

With such a device, when the body 2 of the coating container 1 is grasped from below with one hand as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hill portion of the palm of one hand comes into contact with the bottom surface of the body 2. Then, each fingertip is caught on the hook portion 5 of the body 2.

As a result, the torso 2 is sandwiched between the hill portion of the palm and each fingertip. Therefore, the pinching force, that is, the force to support the torso 2 at the hill portion and the palm of the hand holding the torso 2 with each fingertip. The body 2 can be firmly grasped by the force of pulling it to the side.

As a result, the coating container 1 can be held firmly and stably in one hand without shaking. In other words, the coating container 1 can be held with a good fit.

Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when applying the coating agent to the axilla of the body, the arm is bent in a natural posture while holding the coating container 1 firmly and stably so as not to shake. , The ball 3a of the applicator member 3 can be accurately pressed against the armpit. In this way, it is possible to easily and accurately apply the coating agent to a desired position (curvature, etc.) of the body without overdoing the posture of the body.

On the other hand, when the application container 1 is held in a form of being gripped from the side of the body 2, the stability is excellent, but the application is free to apply to hard-to-see or hard-to-reach parts such as the armpits and back. It may be inferior.

However, the method of holding the coating container 1 of the present invention is not limited to eagle gripping, and it is also possible to hold the body 2 so as to be gripped from the lateral direction depending on the part to be used and the like.

It should be noted that the reason why the hooking portion 5 is intentionally provided below the step wall surface 2c instead of the hooking destination of each fingertip being the step wall surface 2c of the body 2 will be described.

In the first place, as described above, the step wall surface 2c has a role as a dripping surface for receiving the coating agent when the coating agent drips from the applicator member 3. This is because if the coating agent adheres to the step wall surface 2c, the fingertips will slip and many people will feel uncomfortable to touch.

Next, as described above, the height dimension H is set to "42 to 58 mm", preferably "45 to 55 mm", and the maximum outer diameter dimension R is set to "40 to 55 mm", preferably "42". We are investigating the reason why the hooking allowance is set to 0.35 mm or more, preferably "0.4 to 2 mm" by setting it to "~ 50 mm", so this will be explained.

(A) Experiment for setting the range of the height dimension H The experiment for setting the range of the height dimension H was performed as follows. The maximum outer diameter dimension R of the body 2 is 44.3 mm, and the height to the apex of the ball 3a is 113 mm. A separate belt (made of low-density polyethylene, width) is formed on the outer circumference of the body 2 of the coating container having no step. A sample was prepared in which a step (hooking allowance, 1.1 mm) was provided as the hooking portion 5 by winding the hook (15 mm, thickness 1.1 mm). Although the form of the sample is not shown, it is the same as that of FIG. 7, and the maximum outer diameter dimension R of the sample is “46.5 mm”.

In the sample, the belt was fixed by shifting it in the direction of the central axis of the body 2, and the position of the step as the hooking portion 5 was appropriately changed in the direction of the central axis of the body 2 to change the height dimension H. The height dimension H is set to 9 levels of "38 mm", "40 mm", "42 mm", "45 mm", "50 mm", "55 mm", "58 mm", "60 mm", and "62 mm".

Then, 10 subjects evaluated the ease of holding the sample on a five-point evaluation score, and calculated the average value thereof. Regarding the evaluation score, "1" is "easy to hold", "2" is "somewhat easy to hold", "3" is "neither", "4" is "somewhat difficult to hold", and "5" is "holding". It's difficult. "

Here, as a result of the average value of the evaluation scores for each height dimension H, as shown in FIG. 12, when "38 mm", the standard deviation is "5.0" and the standard deviations are "0.00" and "40 mm". When "4.6", the standard deviation is "0.66", when "42mm", the standard deviation is "3.0", when the standard deviation is "0.77", and when "45mm", the standard deviation is "2.5". When "0.67" and "50mm", it is "1.8" and the standard deviation is "0.60", and when it is "55mm", it is "2.3" and the standard deviation is "1.10" and "58mm". When it is "2.9", the standard deviation is "1.45", when it is "60 mm", it is "3.7" and the standard deviation is "1.27", and when it is "62 mm", it is "4.5" and the standard deviation is "4.5". It was "0.81".

From this result, after using the evaluation score of "3" as a guide, when the height dimension H is "42 mm", the average value of the evaluation score is "3.0", and when the height dimension H is "40 mm". Since it deviates from the average value "4.6" of the evaluation score of, this was judged as the boundary point.

Similarly, after using the evaluation score of "3" as a guide, the average value of the evaluation scores when the height dimension H is "58 mm" is "2.9" and the height dimension H is "60 mm". Since it deviates from the average value "3.7" of the evaluation score at that time, it was judged that this was the boundary point.

Based on these results, the height dimension H was set to "42 to 58 mm" as described above, and as a more preferable range, the average value of the evaluation scores was 2.5 or less, "45 to 55 mm".
Set to.

(B) Experiment for setting the range of the maximum outer diameter dimension R Further, the experiment for setting the range of the maximum outer diameter dimension R was performed as follows. Although not shown, the body 2 is provided with an annular groove (hooking allowance, 1.0 mm) as a hooking portion 5 to set the height dimension H to "50 mm", and further to set the maximum outer diameter dimension R of the body 2 to "33 mm". , "36 mm", "38 mm", "40 mm", "44 mm", "50 mm", "53 mm", "55 mm", "60 mm" 9 types of samples were prepared. The height of each sample to the apex of the ball 3a is 99 mm.

Then, 10 subjects evaluated the ease of holding the sample on a five-point evaluation score, and calculated the average value thereof. Regarding the evaluation score, "1" is "easy to hold", "2" is "somewhat easy to hold", "3" is "neither", "4" is "somewhat difficult to hold", and "5" is "holding". It's difficult. "

Here, as a result of the average value of the evaluation scores for each maximum outer diameter dimension R, as shown in FIG. 13, when it is "33 mm", it is "3.3" and the standard deviations are "1.00" and "36 mm". At "3.4", the standard deviation is "0.66", at "38 mm", "3.1", the standard deviation is "1.14", and at "40 mm", the standard deviation is "2.4". Is "0.80" and "44 mm" with "1.5" and standard deviation is "0.50", and "50 mm" is "2.6" and standard deviation is "0.80" and "53 mm". At "2.8", the standard deviation is "0.87", at "55 mm", "3.2", the standard deviation is "1.08", and at "60 mm", the standard deviation is "4.3". Was "0.78".

From this result, after using the evaluation score of "3" as a guide, the average value of the evaluation score when the maximum outer diameter dimension R is "40 mm" is "2.4", and the maximum outer diameter dimension R is "38 mm". Since the average value of the evaluation score at the time of "3.1" is different from that of "3.1", this was judged as the boundary point.

Similarly, based on the evaluation score of "3" as a guide, the average value of the evaluation score when the maximum outer diameter dimension R is "55 mm" is "3.2" and the maximum outer diameter dimension R is "60 mm". Since the average value of the evaluation score "4.3" at the time of "" is different, this was judged as the boundary point.

Based on these results, the maximum outer diameter dimension R was set to "40 to 55 mm" as described above, and was set to "42 to 50 mm" as a more preferable range.

(C) Experiment for setting the range of the hooking allowance Next, as described above, the reason why the catching allowance is set to 0.35 mm or more, preferably "0.4 to 2 mm" is investigated, and will be described.

The experiment for setting the range of the catching allowance was performed as follows. The maximum outer diameter dimension R of the body 2 is 44.3 mm, and the height to the apex of the ball 3a is 113 mm. A separate belt (made of polyethylene terephthalate, width 22 mm) is formed on the outer circumference of the body 2 of the coating container having no step. ) Was wound around the sample to provide a step as the hooking portion 5. The form of the sample is not shown, but is the same as in FIG. 7, and the height dimension H of the sample is “50 mm”.

In the sample, the catching allowance was changed by changing the thickness of the belt. The catching allowance is "0.2 mm", "0.25 mm", "0.3 mm", "0.35 mm", "0.4 mm", "0.45 mm", "0.5 mm", "0.55 mm". , "0.6 mm" 9 types of samples were prepared.

Then, 10 subjects evaluated the ease of holding the sample with a four-level evaluation score, and calculated the average value thereof. Regarding the evaluation score, "1" means "you can feel a sufficient catch and hold it firmly with your palm and fingertips", "2" means "you can feel a catch and hold it with your palm and fingertips", and "3" means "hold it with your palm and fingertips". I can feel it, but I can't hold it between my palm and my fingertips. "

Here, as a result of the average value of the evaluation scores for each catching allowance, as shown in FIG. 14, when "0.2 mm", the standard deviation is "3.8" and the standard deviations are "0.40" and "0.25 mm". When "3.1", the standard deviation is "0.54", when "0.3 mm", "2.8" and the standard deviation is "0.40", and when "0.35 mm", "2. 3 ”, the standard deviation is“ 0.46 ”,“ 0.4 mm ”is“ 1.9 ”, the standard deviation is“ 0.70 ”, and“ 0.45 mm ”is“ 1.7 ”, and the standard deviation is When "0.64" and "0.5 mm", it is "1.6" and the standard deviation is "0.49", and when it is "0.55 mm", it is "1.2" and the standard deviation is "0.40". When it was "0.6 mm", it was "1.2" and the standard deviation was "0.40".

From this result, after using the evaluation score of "2" as a guide, the average value of the evaluation scores when the catching allowance is "0.3 mm" is "2.8" and the evaluation score when the evaluation score is "0.35 mm". Since the average value of "2.3" is different from that of "2.3", this was judged as the boundary point.

Based on this result, the catching allowance was set to "0.35 mm or more" as described above. Then, in consideration that the evaluation score is less than "2" and the dent of the hooking portion 5 serving as the hooking allowance does not become too large, a more preferable range is set to "0.4 to 2 mm".

(D) Experiment to evaluate the influence of the shape of the lower part of the fuselage The shape is the same as that of FIG. 2, the maximum outer diameter dimension R is 44.3 mm, the height to the apex of the ball 3a is 113 mm, and the catching allowance is 1. Four types of samples (d-1), (d-2), (d-3) and (d-4) having an annular groove (groove width 8.8 mm) having a height dimension H of 0.0 mm and a height dimension H of 50 mm. I prepared. Samples (d-1), (d-2), and (d-3) are all formed in a rounded shape so that the lower part of the body 2 gradually shrinks in diameter toward the bottom surface. The diameters of were "23 mm", "25 mm", and "30 mm", respectively. The sample (d-4) was formed in a cylindrical shape in which the lower portion of the body 2 did not shrink in diameter toward the bottom surface.

Then, when five subjects evaluated the ease of holding the sample, the samples (d-1), (d-2) and (d-3) of the sample were more than the sample (d-4). The fit was excellent.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately modified within the scope of claims and within the scope equivalent to the scope.
