Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a container for a stick-shaped substrate, and more particularly to a container for containing a stick-shaped substrate such as lipstick.

Conventionally, stick-shaped lipsticks have been widely put to practical use. As is well known, this type of lipstick is often handled using a holder having a grip portion to be gripped by the user and a middle tube held by the grip portion. More specifically, one end of the stick-shaped lipstick is housed in the middle cylinder of the holder, and the user holds the gripping part of the holder and pulls the other end of the lipstick out of the middle cylinder. part is used for coating.

In general, this type of holder is used in combination with a cap that accommodates the lipstick together with the middle cylinder so that the lipstick is not exposed when carrying or storing the lipstick. In this case, the lipstick container is composed of the holder and the cap. As a cap constituting such a lipstick container, a cap having a simple bottomed cylindrical shape is often applied, but caps having other shapes have also been proposed for special purposes. .

For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a cap that is formed in the shape of a square box with one end open and configured to receive lipstick held in a holder (container body) through the opening. The cap is box-shaped, as described above, for pivoting on one of its four sides a panel holding a vanity mirror. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a box having an opening at one end for receiving a cylindrical holder (container body) holding lipstick and having a vessel part extending in the general length direction, that is, in the direction for receiving the holder, on one side surface. A shaped cap is shown. The cap has the structure described above in order to fit and accommodate the makeup brush in the vessel and to pivotally support the same end plate as described above.

As described above, the lipstick container having a box-shaped cap has a clear shape of the cap compared to many conventional lipstick containers in which a bottomed cylindrical cap is attached to the lipstick part. Because of the difference, and because the cap can be attached and detached while the box-shaped cap is placed on a table, etc., the product can have a product image of "special" or "luxury". .

However, as described above, a conventional lipstick container having a box-shaped cap with all or part of its side surfaces flat and configured to receive lipstick from an opening at one end of the cap has a table or the like. When the lipstick is stored in the cap placed on top, if the position of the lipstick is slightly misaligned with respect to the opening of the cap, the area around the opening of the cap may be stained with lipstick. There is Therefore, when storing lipstick in the cap of a conventional lipstick container of this type, the position of the lipstick must be accurately aligned with the opening of the cap to some extent. The lipstick is accommodated in the cap in a state in which it is accommodated in the middle cylinder (that is, in a state in which the lipstick is not drawn out from the middle cylinder).

As described above, it is troublesome to pay attention to the position of the lipstick with respect to the opening of the cap and to store the lipstick in the middle cylinder of the lipstick container. It was bad.

Problems with the lipstick container have been described above, but the container consisting of the cap and the holder as described above is also applied as a container for stick-shaped substrates other than lipstick, such as glue sticks. problems can occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. To dispense with troublesome operation when storing a material inside a cap and to improve usability.

The rod-shaped substrate container according to the present invention is
A rod-shaped substrate container comprising: a rod-shaped substrate holder having a middle cylinder for containing a rod-shaped substrate; and a grip portion for holding the middle cylinder; ,
The cap is composed of a storage box having an opening at one end in the length direction and a saucer on which the middle tube of the rod-shaped substrate holder is placed ,
The saucer is slidable in the longitudinal direction with respect to the storage box while maintaining a state in which a part of the tray is in contact with the peripheral wall of the internal space of the storage box so as to move in and out of the opening of the storage box. and
A holder holding means for holding the position of the middle tube of the rod-shaped substrate holder detachably mounted from above is provided at a predetermined position of a part of the saucer,
When the cap is closed, the middle cylinder is held in the receiving tray, and then the grip portion is pushed into the storage box, so that the middle cylinder is accommodated in the storage box.
It is characterized by

In addition, the above-mentioned "pushing the saucer into the storage box" is not limited to directly pushing the saucer into the storage box, but indirectly It also includes pushing the saucer.

When the cap is closed, the end of the gripping portion of the rod-shaped substrate holder is configured to be in contact with and close to the end of the opening of the storage box in which the middle cylinder is housed. desirable.
Further, in one embodiment, the rod-shaped substrate holder has an outer cylinder having a diameter larger than that of the middle cylinder near the holding part, and the saucer of the cap has an approximately U-shaped cross section. a middle cylinder mounting portion on which the middle cylinder is mounted, a stepped portion having a diameter smaller than that of the middle cylinder mounting portion, and an outer cylinder mounting portion on which the outer cylinder is mounted; It is preferable that the end surface of the outer cylinder is in contact with the end surface of the stepped portion when the middle cylinder and the outer cylinder are held by the saucer. Further, the holder holding means is composed of a magnet that is attracted by magnetic force, the magnet is provided on the stepped portion of the receiving plate, and an iron member is provided inside the outer cylinder of the rod-shaped substrate holder. It is desirable to have
In another aspect, the rod-shaped base material holder has an outer cylinder having a diameter larger than that of the middle cylinder near the holding part, and when the middle cylinder is held by the saucer, the outer cylinder is It is desirable that the end face of the outer cylinder abuts against the front end face of the saucer without resting on the saucer. In addition, the holder holding means is composed of a magnet that is attracted by magnetic force, and the magnet is provided in a frame shape near the front end surface of the receiving plate and inside the outer cylinder of the rod-shaped substrate holder. is preferably provided with an iron member.

On the other hand, a tool related to the use of the rod-shaped substrate may be attached to the back surface of the saucer. Specifically, when the rod-shaped base material is the above-described lipstick, a cosmetic product such as a mirror or a brush for applying lipstick may be attached. In that case, the cosmetics are naturally attached so as not to interfere with the sliding of the tray with respect to the storage box.

In the rod-shaped base material container according to the present invention, the cap has an opening at one end in the length direction, and the cap is slidable in the length direction with respect to the storage box so as to move in and out through the opening. Since the tray is composed of the tray, the tray can be housed in the housing box while maintaining its correct position without being particularly positioned with respect to the housing box. Since holder holding means for holding the rod-shaped substrate holder placed at a predetermined position on a part of the receiving tray is provided, the rod-shaped substrate holder can be placed at a predetermined position on the receiving tray before being housed in the storage box. The rod-shaped substrate holder is held at a predetermined position with respect to the saucer only by itself. Therefore, by pushing the tray into the storage box next, the rod-shaped substrate holder can be accommodated in the cap while maintaining its correct position without performing troublesome positioning with respect to the cap. In this case, since the area around the opening of the cap is not soiled with the rod-shaped base material such as lipstick, the rod-shaped base material can be accommodated in the middle cylinder when the rod-shaped base material is accommodated inside the cap. becomes unnecessary.

Moreover, since the rod-shaped base material container according to the present invention is configured so that the cap is provided with a storage box having an opening at one end in the length direction, it is similar to a conventional rod-shaped base container having a box-shaped cap (for example, a lipstick container). Similar to , it can have a product image such as "special" or "luxury". In the rod-shaped substrate container according to the present invention, in addition to that, the rod-shaped substrate holder can be detachably placed on a predetermined position of a part of the saucer from above, so that the rod-shaped substrate can be accommodated inside the cap. In this case, the rod-shaped substrate holder does not need to be passed through the opening of the storage box, and can be arranged at a predetermined position simply by placing it on the tray. The feeling of operation at this time also makes it possible to make the image of the product more conspicuous.

FIG.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a rod-shaped substrate container 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The rod-shaped substrate container 1 is, for example, a lipstick container, and is composed of a rod-shaped substrate holder 10 and a cap 20 that accommodates part of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 inside. The rod-shaped substrate holder 10 and the cap 20 are made of synthetic resin, for example. The rod-shaped substrate holder 10 includes a substantially cylindrical outer cylinder (middle part) 12, a holder main body 13 holding the outer cylinder 12, a middle cylinder 14 whose one end side is held inside the outer cylinder 12, and a middle cylinder. 14 and a substantially cylindrical inner plate 15 disposed inside the inner cylinder 14 coaxially therewith.

The middle plate 15 holds a stick-shaped lipstick 16, which is an example of a stick-shaped substrate. A known spiral feed mechanism (not shown) connected to the holder body 13 and the inner plate 15 is arranged in the holder body 13 . When the lipstick user rotates the holder body 13 while gripping the middle cylinder 14 with the fingertips, the middle plate 15 moves in the middle cylinder 14 in the cylinder axis direction due to the action of the spiral feeding mechanism. The moving direction of the inner plate 15 is switched according to the direction in which the holder body 13 is rotated. In this way, the lipstick user can make the lipstick 16 attached to the inner plate 15 protrude from the inner cylinder 14 and, conversely, be accommodated in the inner cylinder 14 . As is clear from the above description, in this embodiment, the holder body 13 functions as a gripping portion for the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 .

On the other hand, the cap 20 is composed of a storage box 22 formed in a substantially elongated box shape and a saucer 23 that can be stored in the internal space of this storage box 22 . The bar-shaped substrate holder 10 is moved in the direction of arrow A with respect to the cap 20 and combined therewith. This point will be detailed later. The cap 20 is shown in FIG. 2 as viewed upside down from that in FIG. The description will be continued below with reference to FIG. 2 as well.

The containing box 22 has an opening 22a at one longitudinal end, and the internal space extends inwardly from the opening 22a. That is, this internal space extends between one end 22b and the other end of the containing box 22 having the opening 22a. An end plate 22c is formed at the other end of the storage box 22 to close the internal space. In general, it is desirable to form such an end plate 22c, but the other end of the storage box 22 may also have an open internal space. The housing box 22 is formed with a flat bottom plate 22d. When the rod-like substrate holder 10 is put into the cap 20 or taken out from the cap 20, for example, the container box 22 is arranged such that the bottom plate 22d is placed on a table or the like (the state shown in FIG. 1). can work with

The saucer 23 has a cross-sectional shape that is generally U-shaped with an open top. A mounting portion 23a, a stepped portion 23b, and an outer cylinder mounting portion 23c on which the outer cylinder 12 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is mounted are formed. Magnets 24 are fixed to the left and right side portions of the stepped portion 23b near the upper end of the stepped portion 23b. The receiving plate 23 is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the receiving box 22, that is, in the direction of arrow B in FIGS. The peripheral wall of the internal space of the housing box 22 is shaped to be in slidable contact with not only the outer bottom surface and the left and right outer surfaces of the tray 23, but also parts of the upper surfaces of the left and right side plates. As a result, the receiving plate 23 can move smoothly in the arrow B direction without moving greatly in the direction crossing the arrow B direction.

The middle cylinder 14 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 holding the lipstick 16 is accommodated in the accommodation box 22 of the cap 20 as follows. For example, the stick-shaped base material holder 10 after being used for makeup is moved in the direction of arrow A in FIG. It is placed at a predetermined position on a portion of the receiving tray 23 that is placed thereon. In this embodiment, the predetermined position is a position where the end face of the outer cylinder 12 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 comes into contact with the end face of the stepped portion 23b of the receiving plate 23 . When the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is placed at this predetermined position, the inner end face 13a of the holder body 13 also contacts the front end face 23d of the receiving plate 23. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 can be correctly and easily placed at a predetermined position on the tray 23 only by confirming that the end surfaces are in contact with each other at these two locations.

Here, as described above, the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is placed on the tray 23 after the lipstick 16 is accommodated in the middle cylinder 14, but the lipstick 16 is drawn out of the middle cylinder 14. The rod-shaped substrate holder 10 may be placed on the tray 23 in this state. In other words, since the rod-shaped base material holder 10 can be correctly placed on the predetermined position on the receiving tray 23 as described above, even if the lipstick 16 is pushed out of the inner cylinder 14, the lipstick 16 will not reach the opening 22a of the storage box 22. It does not contaminate the surrounding parts of the

As described above, the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 can be moved in the direction of arrow A in FIG. and that the storage box 22 can be placed on a table or the like with the bottom plate 22d placed thereon, as described above, making the rod-shaped substrate container 1 "special" and "luxury." It can give a product image such as

When the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is placed at a predetermined position on the receiving plate 23, the iron holder 10 is fixed inside the outer cylinder 12 with one end face aligned with the end face of the outer cylinder 12 on the middle cylinder 14 side. A ring (not shown) attracts two magnets 24 attached to the pan 23 . Thereby, the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is held at the predetermined position on the tray 23 . The attraction between these iron rings and magnets can also help to confirm that the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is placed at a predetermined position on the tray 23 . Thus, in this embodiment, the iron ring and the magnet 24 constitute holder holding means. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is placed and held at a predetermined position on the tray 23 in this way. In this FIG. 3, elements equivalent to those in FIGS. 1 and 2 described above are denoted by the same numbers, and description thereof will be omitted unless particularly necessary (the same applies hereinafter). .

Next, for example, by pushing the holder main body 13 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 toward the storage box 22 , the saucer 23 is completely pushed into the internal space of the storage box 22 . This state is shown in FIG. In this state, the middle tube 14 holding the lipstick 16 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 is housed in the housing box 22 of the cap 20 . Also, in this state, the end surface 13a of the holder body 13 contacts the one end 22b of the container box 22, and the holder body 13 closes the opening 22a of the container box 22. As shown in FIG. Therefore, dust and dirt are prevented from entering the storage box 22. - 特許庁Next, when the lipstick 16 is to be used, the rod-shaped base material holder 10 can be removed from the tray 23 of the cap 20 and used by performing the operation in reverse order to the above-described procedure.

In this embodiment, means for holding the outer cylinder 12 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 (magnet 24 and iron ring) serves as holder holding means for holding the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 placed on the predetermined position of the receiving plate 23 . However, as the holder holding means, means for holding a portion other than the outer cylinder 12 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10, such as the middle cylinder 14, may be used. Further, the holder holding means itself is not limited to a means for attracting each other by magnetic force, but a mechanical means such as a clip formed of elastic thin steel wire or the like and holding a portion of the rod-shaped substrate holder 10 can be applied. be. Further, as the means for attracting each other by magnetic force, in addition to the magnet 24 and the iron member in the present embodiment, it is also possible to apply a means consisting of two magnets.

Next, a rod-shaped substrate container 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 shows a state before the lipstick 36 held by the rod-shaped substrate holder 30 is accommodated in the cap 40 constituting the rod-shaped substrate container 2, and FIG. 6 shows a state after the lipstick 36 is accommodated in the cap 40. state. When compared with the rod-shaped substrate container 1 of the first embodiment, the rod-shaped substrate container 2 differs from the outer cylinder 12 in the shape of the outer cylinder 32, and accordingly, the method of holding the rod-shaped substrate holder in the saucer 43 is different. is different from that in the saucer 23 .

In the following, mainly the points related to the above differences will be described. The rod-shaped substrate container 2 is composed of a rod-shaped substrate holder 30 and a cap 40 that accommodates part of the rod-shaped substrate holder 30 inside. The rod-shaped substrate holder 30 includes an outer cylinder 32 formed in a substantially rectangular tubular shape, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped holder main body 33 holding the outer cylinder 32, and a middle cylinder 34 held inside the outer cylinder 32 at one end side. and A middle plate similar to the middle plate 15 described above is arranged inside the middle cylinder 34, and the lipstick 36 is held in the middle plate, but the middle plate is omitted in FIG. It shows a state in which it has come out of the cylinder 34 .

On the other hand, the cap 40 is composed of a storage box 42 and a saucer 43 that can be stored in the internal space of the storage box 42 . The containing box 42 has an open opening 42a at one longitudinal end 42b, and the internal space extends inwardly from this opening 42a. An end plate 42c is formed at the other end of the storage box 42 to close the internal space. The receiving plate 43 is slidable in the direction of arrow B in FIG. Also in this embodiment, the peripheral wall of the internal space of the container box 42 is formed on the inner side of the container box 42 from the portion shown in FIG. 5, similarly to the container box 22 of the first embodiment. As a result, the tray 43 can move in the arrow B direction without moving greatly in the direction crossing the arrow B direction.

After the tray 43 is pulled out from the storage box 42 as shown in FIG. The tube 34 is put on a predetermined position on the receiving plate 43 . FIG. 5 shows this state. Also in this embodiment, although illustration is omitted, a magnet similar to the magnet 24 in the first embodiment and a frame-shaped iron member attracted thereto are attached to the receiving plate 43 and the outer cylinder 32, respectively. More specifically, one surface of the magnet is aligned with the end surface of the outer cylinder 32 side of the receiving plate 43, and one surface of the iron member is aligned with the end surface of the outer cylinder 32 on the receiving plate 43 side. Mounted in matching condition. The middle tube 34 is held at a predetermined position on the receiving plate 43 by attraction between the magnets and the iron member.

However, in this embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the outer cylinder 32 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 30 does not rest on the tray 43 when the middle cylinder 34 is held at a predetermined position on the tray 43 . Without doing so, it abuts against the front end face of the receiving plate 43 . The mounting positions of the magnets provided on the receiving plate 43 and the middle cylinder 34 are set so that the middle cylinder 34 is held at the predetermined position on the receiving plate 43 .

After the middle tube 34 is thus held at a predetermined position on the tray 43, for example, the holder main body 33 of the rod-shaped substrate holder 30 is pushed toward the housing box 42, and the tray 43 is pushed into the housing box 42, whereby the middle tube 34 is The cylinder 34 is closed and the lipstick 36 is stored in the storage box 42 . FIG. 6 shows this state. In this state, the holder main body 33 closes the opening 42a of the storage box 42 by contacting the end surface 33a of the holder main body 33 and the one end 42b of the storage box 42 (see FIG. 5 for both). Therefore, also in this case, dust and dirt are prevented from entering the storage box 42 .

As described above, an embodiment of a rod-shaped base material container configured as a container for containing stick-shaped lipstick has been described. It is also possible to configure it, and even in such a case, the same effect can be obtained.
