Description

The present invention relates to a cosmetic holder, a method for manufacturing a wet solid cosmetic using the same, and a manufacturing apparatus.

Conventionally, wet solid cosmetics have been known, which are made by filling a container with a slurry of cosmetics mixed with a predetermined solvent and solidifying the cosmetics by absorbing the solvent. A wet solid cosmetic material molded into a three-dimensional shape and a method for producing the same have been proposed.

For example, Patent Document 1 describes a method for three-dimensionally filling a decorative dish with a smooth bottom surface with multicolored powder cosmetics, in which a plate with a centrally projecting partition is fitted into the decorative dish. It is disclosed that cosmetics of different colors are filled into each of the spaces partitioned by plates from the back side of the vanity plate (back filling), and a three-dimensional cosmetic surface that is raised above the upper edge of the vanity plate is formed. has been done.

Further, the wet solid cosmetic described in Patent Document 2 has a surface shape formed in an undulating three-dimensional shape, and the container filled with the cosmetic corresponds to the surface shape of the cosmetic. It has been proposed that the bottom surface is formed into a three-dimensional shape. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 proposes a so-called multicolor filling method in which such a container is filled with cosmetics of different colors (see FIGS. 8 to 13 of Patent Document 2). According to this, the container is provided with filling holes at multiple locations on the bottom surface formed in a three-dimensional shape, and while the inside of the container is partitioned by a partition member, multiple filling holes are opened from the outside. It is disclosed that a slurry-like cosmetic is filled by bringing the filling nozzles of the two into contact with each other.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-143606 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2015-199696

However, the filling method using a container as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 has the following problems.

In the wet solid cosmetic and its manufacturing method described in Patent Document 1, the thickness of the cosmetic filled in the center of the decorative plate and the thickness of the cosmetic filled in the peripheral side of the decorative plate are significantly different. As a result, after filling cosmetics in a cosmetic dish, it is not possible to apply pressure evenly when pressing the surface of the cosmetics, and the amount of solvent absorbed from the filled slurry-like cosmetics is limited. Becomes non-uniform. Furthermore, it takes time for the cosmetics filled thickly in the center of the vanity plate to dry to the inside, and there is a difference in the degree of dryness between the cosmetics filled on the periphery of the vanity plate. will occur. Therefore, such a manufacturing method is susceptible to impact and is prone to cracks. Furthermore, since the bottom surface of the decorative plate is smooth, there is a problem in that the amount of cosmetics used as a whole (bulk) increases, leading to an increase in cost.

Furthermore, in the case of cosmetics in which cosmetics of different colors are filled in the center of the vanity plate and on the periphery of the vanity plate, the amount of each cosmetic varies greatly, making it difficult for the user to use such cosmetics. However, there was a problem in that it was difficult to know the remaining amount of each cosmetic. In addition, in the process of removing the partitioned plate from the cosmetic after filling the center side of the decorative plate and the peripheral side of the decorative plate with cosmetics of different colors, the plate moves while coming into contact with the filled cosmetic. There is also the problem that the stroke amount increases, increasing the risk of defects such as the filled cosmetics adhering to the plate.

On the other hand, according to the wet solid cosmetic and its manufacturing method described in Patent Document 2, a jig for position adjustment is used so that the filling nozzle can reach the position (height) of the filling hole according to the raised shape of the bottom of the container. It was necessary to adjust the position (height) of the filling nozzle by interposing the filling nozzle. Therefore, when producing wet solid cosmetics using containers with this type of structure, each time the container design is changed, the position of the filling nozzle must be adjusted to match the position (height) of the filling hole in the new container. (height), and in turn, it was necessary to prepare a filling unit including a predetermined jig. In addition, when a container with a raised bottom is held in a predetermined container holder and the surface of the cosmetics filled in the container is pressed, downward stress is applied to the raised part of the bottom of the container, causing damage to the peripheral wall of the container. Stress is also applied to the part in the inward direction (in the direction of the filled cosmetic). As a result, when the stress is released after the press process, a slight gap will be created between the inner wall of the container and the filled cosmetic, which may cause the filled cosmetic to fall out of the container. was there. This leads to the problem that filled cosmetics tend to adhere to the partition member when the partition member is removed.

Furthermore, in containers with multiple filling holes on the bottom of the container for the purpose of multicolor filling, the filling nozzles should be adjusted so that each of the multiple filling nozzles reaches the position (height) of each filling hole, as described above. Since it is necessary to adjust the position (height) of the multicolor filled cosmetics, it is necessary to take these factors into consideration when designing the multicolor filled cosmetics, which limits the freedom of design.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to easily fill the cosmetic material even if the cosmetic holding surface has an undulating shape, and to easily fill the cosmetic material with precision. An object of the present invention is to provide a fillable cosmetic holder, a method for manufacturing a wet solid cosmetic using the same, and a manufacturing device.

In order to achieve the above object, the cosmetic holder of the present invention is a cosmetic holder that holds a wet solid cosmetic, and includes a concave portion and/or a convex portion that holds the wet solid cosmetic. and a flow path formed from an outlet provided in the holding surface toward a lower side of the holding surface.

Furthermore, the cosmetic holder of the present invention is characterized in that each outflow port is provided with two or more of the channels.

Further, in the method for manufacturing a wet solid cosmetic of the present invention, a suction pad corresponding to the shape of the holding surface of the cosmetic holder is arranged on the side of the holding surface of the cosmetic holder to form a filling space. a filling space forming step, a filling step of filling a slurry-like cosmetic from the inlet of the cosmetic holder, and a slurry-like cosmetic flowing out from the outlet of the cosmetic holder and filling the filling space. It is characterized by having a suction step of suctioning the solvent from the cosmetic.

The method for producing a wet solid cosmetic of the present invention may further include a partitioning step of attaching a partition member for partitioning the filling space to the cosmetic holder before the filling space forming step, and after the suction step, the The suction pad is removed from the cosmetic holder, and a partition cutout pad, which is provided with an accommodating portion for the partition member and corresponds to the shape of the holding surface of the cosmetic holder, is placed on the holding surface side of the cosmetic holder. The method further includes a partition cutting step of arranging the partition member and accommodating the partition member in the accommodating portion while jetting air to the filled cosmetic material.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a cosmetic holder according to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a wet solid cosmetic using the same, and a manufacturing apparatus will be described with reference to the drawings.

<First embodiment>
A cosmetic holder according to the present embodiment, a method for manufacturing a wet solid cosmetic using the same, and a manufacturing apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a cosmetic holder according to this embodiment.

[Cosmetic holder]
A cosmetic holder 1 according to the present invention is, for example, a cosmetic holder (vanity plate) for holding a wet solid cosmetic C as shown in FIG. According to the example shown in FIG. 10, the cosmetic C has a square cosmetic Ca disposed in the center of the cosmetic holding part 1 in plan view, and approximately fan-shaped cosmetics with a center angle of 90 degrees on all sides of the cosmetic Ca. The materials Cb to Ce are arranged. Cosmetic material C can form a color pattern on the surface using cosmetic materials Ca to Ce of a plurality of different colors. All of the cosmetics Ca to Ce may be of different colors, or some of them may be of the same color (the cosmetics Cb and Cc are the same color, and the cosmetics Cd and Ce are the same color). Moreover, since each boundary between the cosmetics Ca to Ce is determined by the partition member 30 described below, a desired color pattern can be formed in the cosmetic C according to the design of the partition member 30. It goes without saying that the cosmetic C may be composed of only one predetermined color.

As shown in FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the cosmetic holder 1 includes a peripheral portion 11 and a concave portion and/or a convex portion that holds the wet solid cosmetic C inside the peripheral portion 11. It has a holding surface 12. In the present embodiment, the cosmetic holder 1 is described as a disc-shaped one formed by plastic molding into a shape (dome shape) that bulges toward the center, but the present invention Such a cosmetic holder is not limited to this. For example, it may have a concave surface toward the center, it may have an undulating shape with a mixture of concave and convex portions, or it may have a polygonal peripheral edge when viewed from above. good.

The holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1 according to the present embodiment is a surface that holds the cosmetic C as described above, and is formed in a spherical shape (dome shape) that bulges toward the center. Further, the peripheral edge portion 11 of the cosmetic holder 1 is a flat portion surrounding the holding surface 12. In this embodiment, the peripheral edge portion 11 is formed with a peripheral wall 11a that stands slightly vertically. By providing the peripheral wall 11a, the strength of the cosmetic holder 1 is improved, and handling of the cosmetic holder 1 is facilitated in the manufacturing process of cosmetics using the cosmetic holder 1. It goes without saying that the present invention includes a cosmetic holder that does not have the peripheral wall 11a. As shown in FIG. 1(b), at least a portion of the holding surface 12 has a raised shape higher than the peripheral wall 11a of the peripheral portion 11. As shown in FIG. Thereby, the cosmetic holder 1 can hold the filled cosmetic that is raised high, and it is possible to provide a cosmetic that has a better appearance than before.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the lower side of the holding surface 12 is substantially hollow, and cylindrical portions 18a to 18e extend toward the lower side of the holding surface 12. The inside of the cylindrical parts 18a to 18e is filled with cosmetics (bulk) when the filling nozzle is brought into contact with the lower end side of each of the cylindrical parts 18a to 18e and the cosmetics (bulk) are injected. becomes a flow path that flows toward the holding surface 12 side. Therefore, the fixed end sides of the cylindrical parts 18a to 18e communicate with the holding surface 12, and the holding surface 12 has outlet ports 13a to 13e formed therein.

As described above, the cosmetic holder 1 according to the present invention has a flow path formed from the outlet ports 13a to 13e provided in the holding surface 12 toward the lower side of the holding surface 12. The cosmetic holder 1 according to the present embodiment is configured to have two or more flow paths (see numerals 16a to 16c). Further, in the cosmetic holder 1, the holding surface 12 is provided with two or more outflow ports (13a to 13e), and one flow path is formed from each of the outflow ports (see symbols 13a to 13e). This is a configuration in which two (see reference numerals 16a to 16c) are provided. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the holding surface 12 is provided with outflow ports 13a to 13e, and a flow path formed by each of these outflow ports 13a to 13e extends vertically toward the lower side of the holding part 12. There are five. FIG. 1B shows a flow path 18a formed from the outlet 13a, a flow path 18b formed from the outlet 13b, a flow path 18c formed from the outlet 13c, and a flow path 18c formed from the outlet 13d. Illustrations of the flow path and the flow path formed from the outlet 13e are omitted.

In the present invention, the number of outlet ports provided on the holding surface 12 and the number of channels formed from the outlet ports are not limited. Further, the cylindrical parts 18a to 18c shown in FIG. 1(b) have the same diameter from the fixed end side to the free end (tip) side, but considering that the cosmetic holder 1 is molded from plastic. The cylindrical portions (18a to 18e) may have a configuration in which the diameter gradually decreases from the fixed end side to the free end side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the lower end height Ha of the inlet 14a (the tip of the cylindrical portion 18a) in the flow path 16a from the reference height H is the lower end height Ha of the inlet 14b (the tip of the cylindrical portion 18a) in the flow path 16b. The lower end height Hb of the tip of the portion 18b coincides with the lower end height Hc of the inlet 14c (the tip of the cylindrical portion 18c) in the flow path 16c. That is, the lower end heights of the inlets 14a to 14c of the flow paths 16a to 16c are the same. Further, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the flow paths 16a, 16b, and 16c have different flow path lengths La, Lb, and Lc. That is, the two or more channels of the cosmetic holder 1 include channels having mutually different lengths. This is because when a plurality of outlets are provided on the dome-shaped holding surface 12 in consideration of the filling effect, etc., the lengths of all the channels are not necessarily the same. The same applies to the flow path (cylindrical portion 18d) formed from the outlet 13d and the flow path (cylindrical portion 18e) formed from the outlet 13e, which are not shown.

In this way, even if the flow path lengths are different, by adopting a configuration in which the lower end height of the inlet of each flow path is made the same, the lower end of the inlet of each flow path can be brought into contact with each inlet as described later. This has the effect that the heights of the plurality of filling nozzles can be made the same. In other words, it is necessary to individually adjust the height of a plurality of filling nozzles according to the lower end height of the inlet of each flow path, and to prepare a jig for position adjustment for each filling nozzle. , there is no need to prepare a filling unit including the jig, and it is possible to improve the efficiency of manufacturing operations.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the lower end height Ha at the inlet ports 14a, 14b, 14c (tips of the cylindrical portions 18a, 18b, 18c) of the flow paths 16a, 16b, 16c from the reference height H , Hb, and Hc preferably match the lower end height He of the peripheral edge portion 11.

In this way, by adopting a configuration in which the lower end height of each inlet of the flow path matches the lower end height of the peripheral edge, the cylindrical portions (18a, 18b, 18c) forming the flow path are shaped like pillars. play a role. Therefore, when the cosmetic holder 1 is used by a user while being housed in a compact case etc., when the cosmetic C held in the cosmetic holder 1 is scraped off by the user, the cosmetic can also be removed. Deformation of the holder 1 can be suppressed, and falling off of the cosmetic C from the cosmetic holder 1 can be prevented.

[Manufacturing method and manufacturing device for wet solid cosmetics]
Hereinafter, a method and apparatus for manufacturing a wet solid cosmetic using the cosmetic holder 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship between the cosmetic holder and the holder, FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship between the cosmetic holder and the partition member, and FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship between the cosmetic holder and the partition member. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship between the cosmetic holder, the suction pad, and the filling nozzle unit, and FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the cosmetic filling process. Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship between the cosmetic holder and the partitioning pad, Fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the process of removing the partition member, and Fig. 9 is a press for the filled cosmetic. FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram showing the process, and is a schematic diagram showing a cosmetic holder holding cosmetics.

A wet solid cosmetic using the cosmetic holder 1 is produced by filling the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1 with slurry-like cosmetics Ca to Ce (see FIG. 10) of the same or different colors. It is manufactured by sucking the volatile solvent contained in the cosmetics Ca to Ce filled in the holder 1 and subjecting the cosmetics Ca to Ce to a press treatment. Here, the slurry-like cosmetics Ca to Ce are fluids that are a mixture of a cosmetic base material of solid powder cosmetics such as face powder, foundation, and eye shadow, and a volatile solvent such as ethanol and water.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the cosmetic holder 1 is fixed to a holder 20 at a first station (not shown) of the manufacturing apparatus. The fixing method is not particularly limited, but as an example, it is desirable to use positioning means provided on the holder 20. The holder 20 shown in FIG. 2 has a recess 21 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the peripheral edge 11 of the cosmetic holder 1 (a ring shape in this embodiment) and a cylindrical part of the cosmetic holder 1 as positioning means. Recesses 24a to 24c are formed in shapes corresponding to the shapes of the tips of the tips 18a to 18c. In addition, each of the recesses 24a to 24c of the holder 20 is provided with fitting holes 22a to 22c, into which a nozzle head of a filling nozzle, which will be described later, comes into contact and fits. It passes through 20. Needless to say, the holder 20 is configured to correspond to a cylindrical portion 18d communicating with the outlet 13d and a cylindrical portion 18e communicating with the outlet 13e, which are not shown. Also in the following description, for convenience of explanation, description of the structures corresponding to the cylindrical portion 18d and the cylindrical portion 18e will be omitted.

By fitting the peripheral part 11 of the cosmetic holder 1 into the recess 21 of the holder 20 and fitting the tips of the cylindrical parts 18a to 18c of the cosmetic holder 1 into the recesses 24a to 24c of the holder 20, The cosmetic holder 1 is fixed to the holder 20 (see FIG. 3). Fixing of the cosmetic holder 1 to the holder 20 can be performed by a predetermined fixing device (not shown) at the first station.

[Partition installation equipment/partition process]
Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a partition member 30 is attached onto the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1 at the first station or another station of the manufacturing apparatus. The partition member 30 has a frame 31 and a partition part 32 connected to the frame 31. As shown in FIG. 3, the entire circumference of the lower end of the frame 31 is formed so as to abut against the peripheral edge 11 of the cosmetic holder 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower end side of the partition portion 32 is formed in a shape that matches the surface shape of the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition portion 32 is designed to be filled with cosmetics Ca to Ce in a desired color pattern. The frame 31 and the holder 20 may be provided with arbitrary positioning means (not shown). By attaching the partition member 30 to the cosmetic holder 1, the holding surface 12 is partitioned into a plurality of sections (partitioning step).

Note that in the case where the cosmetics Ca to Ce have the same color or the same properties, it is not necessary to attach the partition member 30. Further, the partition member 30 can be attached to the cosmetic holder 1 and the holder 20 by a partition device (not shown) at the first station or the like.

[Filling equipment/filling process]
The holder 20 to which the cosmetic holder 1 and the partition member 30 are attached is moved to a second station (not shown) of the manufacturing apparatus. The second station is provided with a filling space forming device/filling device (no reference numeral, hereinafter referred to as the filling device), and as shown in FIG. 5, this filling device is fixed to the holder 20 and moves. The filling nozzle unit 60 fills the cosmetic holder 1 with the slurry cosmetic C, and the filling nozzle unit 60 fills the cosmetic holder 1 with the slurry cosmetic C while blocking the upper part of the cosmetic holder 1. It has a suction pad 40 that suctions the solvent contained in the liquid.

As shown in FIG. 5, the suction pad 40 has a plurality of suction holes 42 formed through the interior of the suction pad 40 in order to suction the solvent contained in the slurry-like cosmetic C. . The lower surface 41 of the suction pad 40 has a shape that substantially corresponds to the three-dimensional shape of the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1. Further, the lower surface 41 is formed in a shape that matches the upper end side of the partition portion 32 of the partition member 30. The suction pad 40 absorbs the solvent of the cosmetic C through an absorbent sheet (not shown) such as highly absorbent paper or nonwoven cloth on the lower surface 41.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the filling nozzle unit 60 includes a plurality of filling nozzles 62a to 62c fixed by a support 61. The plurality of filling nozzles 62a to 62c are fixed to the support 61 so that the head of each filling nozzle can be fitted into the nozzle fitting holes 22a to 22c on the lower surface side of the holder 20. In this embodiment, a filling nozzle for filling the cosmetic Ca is 62a, a filling nozzle for filling the cosmetic Cb is 62b, and a filling nozzle for filling the cosmetic Cc is 62c.

Here, in the cosmetic holder 1 according to the present invention, since the lower end heights of the inflow ports 14a to 14c of the flow paths 16a to 16c are made to match, the filling nozzle 62a that contacts the inflow ports 14a to 14c, respectively 62c to 62c can be made the same height. This makes it possible to individually adjust the height of multiple filling nozzles according to the lower end height of the inlet of each flow path, and to prepare a jig for position adjustment for each filling nozzle. There is no need to prepare a filling unit including the jig, and it is possible to improve the efficiency of manufacturing operations. Moreover, since individual height adjustment of a plurality of filling nozzles is not required, it is possible to design a multicolored filling cosmetic without considering these factors, and a degree of freedom in design can be ensured.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the holder 20 to which the cosmetic holder 1 and the partition member 30 are attached is placed below the absorbent pad 40, the filling device lowers the absorbent pad 40 (see FIG. (see downward arrow), the lower surface 41 of the absorbent pad 40 is brought into contact with the upper end of the partition part 32 of the partition member 30, and the space above the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1 is closed (filling space forming step). Further, the filling device raises the filling nozzle unit 60 (see upward arrow in FIG. 5) and inserts the heads of the filling nozzles 62a to 62c into the nozzle fitting holes 22a to 22c of the holder 20. Thereby, the filling space on the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1 is sealed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the filling device discharges the cosmetics Ca to Cc from the filling nozzles 62a to 62c using a pump (not shown) and fills the inlets 14a to 14c of the cosmetic holder 1. Cosmetics Ca to Cc are filled from each (filling step). As a result, each of the cosmetics Ca to Cc flows through the channels 16a to 16c, reaches the outflow ports 13a to 13c, and is filled into each of the plurality of compartments formed on the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holding part 1. Ru. Further, the filling device uses a pump (not shown) to suck the solvent contained in the cosmetics Ca to Cc filled in the cosmetic holder 1 from the suction hole 42 of the suction pad 40 (suction step).

When the filling of the cosmetics Ca to Cc is completed, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the filling device raises the suction pad 40 (see the upward arrow in FIG. 6(b)) and lowers the filling nozzle unit 60. (See the downward arrow in FIG. 6(b)).

[Partition cutting device/partition cutting process]
The holder 20 with the cosmetic holder 1 attached thereto is moved to a third station (not shown) of the manufacturing device. The third station is provided with a partition-cutting device (no reference numeral), and as shown in FIG. , has a partition punching pad 50 for removing the partition member 30.

As shown in FIG. 7, the partition pad 50 has a plurality of jets formed by penetrating the inside of the partition pad 50 to inject air to the filled cosmetics C (Ca to Cc). It has a hole 52. The lower surface 51 of the partition pad 50 has a shape that substantially corresponds to the three-dimensional shape of the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1. Further, on the lower surface 51 side, an accommodating portion 53 capable of accommodating the partition portion 32 of the partition member 30 is formed. The accommodating part 53 is formed as a slit formed corresponding to the shape and thickness of the partition part 32, for example.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the holder 20 to which the cosmetic holder 1 is attached is placed below the partition-cutting pad 50, the partition-cutting device lowers the partitioning pad 50 (downward in FIG. 7). (see arrow), the lower surface 51 of the partition pad 50 is brought into contact with the surface of the filled cosmetics C (Ca to Cc).

Next, as shown in FIG. 8(a), the partition cutting device injects the cosmetics Ca to Cc filled into the cosmetic holder 1 through the injection holes 52 of the partition cutting pad 50 using a pump (not shown). The partition member 30 is raised while injecting air (see the upward arrow in FIG. 8(a)). After the partition part 32 in contact with the cosmetics Ca to Cc filled in the cosmetic holder 1 is gradually pulled out and accommodated in the storage part 53 of the partition cutout pad 50, the partition cutout device removes the partition part 32. The pad 50 is raised together with the partition member 30 (see the upward arrow in FIG. 8(b)) (partition cutting process), and the partition cutting pad 50 and the partition member 30 are removed from the cosmetic holding part 1 as shown in FIG. to leave.

As described above, in the apparatus and method for producing wet solid cosmetics according to the present invention, by employing the partition cutting device and the partition cutting process as described above, the partitions buried in cosmetics C (Ca to Cc) can be removed. Even when the part 32 is removed, the cosmetics C (Ca to Cc) are held in the cosmetics holding part 1 by the air jetted at the same time as the part 32 is removed. Thereby, when the partition member 30 is removed, defects such as the cosmetic C (Ca to Cc) peeling off from the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holding section 1 and adhering to the partition section 32 can be prevented.

[Press equipment/pressing process]
The holder 20 with the cosmetic holder 1 attached thereto is moved to a fourth station (not shown) of the manufacturing device. The fourth station is provided with a press device (no reference numeral), and as shown in FIG. , has a molded pad 70 for adding the desired surface design.

As shown in FIG. 9, the molded pad 70 has a plurality of suction holes 72 formed through the inside of the molded pad 70 in order to suck the solvent contained in the cosmetics C (Ca to Cc). ing. The lower surface 71 of the molded pad 70 has a shape that substantially corresponds to the three-dimensional shape of the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 1, and the surface of the cosmetic C (Ca to Cc) filled on the holding surface 12. A shape for molding a desired three-dimensional shape is formed on the surface.

As shown in FIG. 9(a), when the holder 20 to which the cosmetic holder 1 is attached is placed below the molding pad 70, the press device lowers the molding pad 70 (FIG. 9(a) ), the filled cosmetics C (Ca to Cc) are pressed on the lower surface 71 of the molding pad 70 (pressing step). Further, as shown in FIG. 9(b), the press device uses a pump (not shown) to remove the solvents contained in the cosmetics Ca to Cc filled into the cosmetics holder 1 from the suction hole 72 of the molding pad 70. (suction process). When the pressing of the cosmetics Ca to Cc is completed, as shown in FIG. 9(c), the press device raises the molding pad 70 (see the upward arrow in FIG. 9(c)).

Here, the cosmetic holder 1 according to the present invention adopts a configuration in which the lower end height of each inlet of the flow path matches the lower end height of the peripheral edge, and the cylindrical part forming the flow path (18a, 18b, 18c) serve as pillars. Therefore, even when the cosmetic holder 1 is fixed to the holder 20 and press processing is performed using the molding pad 70 (see FIG. 9(b)), deformation of the cosmetic holder 1 can be suppressed. , does not adversely affect the holding power of the cosmetic C by the cosmetic holder 1.

[Drying equipment/drying process]
The holder 20 with the cosmetic holder 1 attached thereto is moved to a fifth station (not shown) of the manufacturing device. A drying device (no reference numeral) is provided at the fifth station, and this drying device dries the cosmetics C (Ca to Cc) filled in the cosmetics holding section 1 (drying step). Thereafter, the holder 20 to which the cosmetic holder 1 is attached is moved to a sixth station (not shown) of the manufacturing apparatus, and the cosmetic holder 1 is recovered from the holder 20.

As described above, as shown in FIG. 10, the wet solid cosmetic produced using the cosmetic holder 1 has a substantially uniform thickness of the filled cosmetic C, so that bulk consumption is reduced during production. In addition to being able to suppress the amount, it is possible to achieve uniform absorption of the added solvent, uniform application of pressure in the pressing process, and uniform drying in the drying process. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly accurate wet-type solid cosmetic that maintains strength and does not easily cause cracks or the like. In addition, even if the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holding part 1 has an undulating shape, it is easy to fill both monochrome and multicolored cosmetics, increasing the degree of freedom in design, and creating a more attractive appearance than before. We can provide good cosmetics. Furthermore, since the thickness of the filled cosmetic is approximately uniform, the user using such a wet solid cosmetic can easily grasp the remaining amount of the cosmetic.

<Modified example>
The cosmetic holder 1 according to the first embodiment described above has a configuration in which the lower side of the holding surface 12 is substantially hollow and the cylindrical parts 18a to 18e extend toward the lower side of the holding surface 12. The invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the cosmetic holder 1a may have a solid structure as a whole. In this cosmetic holder 1a, flow paths 16a to 16c are formed by through holes that vertically pass through the cosmetic holder 1a. Note that the same configurations as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations will be omitted.

<Second embodiment>
A cosmetic holder according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 12. FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing a cosmetic holder according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a schematic cross-sectional view, (b) is a conceptual plan view of the cylindrical part, and (c) is a holder and FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship with a filling nozzle unit. Note that in the following description, detailed descriptions of the same configurations as in the first embodiment will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 12(a), the lower side of the holding surface 12 of the cosmetic holder 100 is substantially hollow, and cylindrical parts 118a to 118c extend toward the lower side of the holding surface 12. There is. As shown in FIG. 12(c), filling nozzles 62a to 62c are brought into contact with the lower end sides of the cylindrical parts 118a to 118c to inject cosmetics (bulk) into the interiors of the cylindrical parts 118a to 118c. At times, the cosmetics (bulk) form channels 116a to 116c through which the cosmetic material (bulk) flows toward the holding surface 12 side. The flow paths 116a to 116c merge into one at the fixed end sides of the cylindrical portions 118a to 118e and communicate with the holding surface 12, and the holding surface 12 has an outlet 113 formed therein.

In this way, the cosmetic holder 100 has a configuration in which each outlet (see numeral 113) is provided with two or more channels (see numerals 116a to 116c). In FIG. 12, only one outlet indicated by reference numeral 113 is shown, but it goes without saying that two or more outlets may be provided. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the holding surface 12 is provided with an outlet 113, and among the three channels formed from the outlet 113, the channel 116a is directed toward the lower side of the holding part 12. The channels 116b and 116c are provided vertically, and are provided so as to be inclined toward the lower side of the holding portion 12. Note that the number of channels formed from the outlet 113 is not limited.

As shown in the conceptual plan view of FIG. 12(b), the cylindrical parts 118b and 118c are connected to each other in a slightly shifted manner in a plan view at the confluence part, and different cosmetics in the form of slurry are caused by convection or It has a structure that generates vortices. As a result, the cosmetic Cb injected from the filling nozzle 62b and flowing through the flow path 116b and the cosmetic Cc injected from the filling nozzle 62c and flowing through the flow path 116c merge to create convection or a vortex, and the filling Cosmetics Ca injected from the nozzle 62a and flowing through the flow path 116a further merge, and the cosmetics Ca to Cc are further mixed together and flowed from the upper outlet 113 in a marble-like color pattern. Cosmetic material C is filled onto the holding surface 12.

Conventionally, the method used was to fill a container with cosmetics of multiple colors and then directly mix the filled cosmetics before solidification with a stirring rod to form a marble-like color pattern, but this increased the number of manufacturing steps. In addition, this method is difficult in the case of cosmetics that are formed three-dimensionally, such as the cosmetic holder 1 and the cosmetic holder 100. In some cases, cosmetics of multiple colors are placed in a hopper in advance, and the cosmetics are stirred appropriately in the hopper and then filled into the container from a filling nozzle, but the appearance of the marble-like color pattern is due to chance. It was expensive. On the other hand, according to the present invention, since the cosmetic holder is equipped with a cosmetic mixing structure, it is possible to save the trouble of mixing multiple colors of cosmetics in advance, and the appearance of the marble-like color pattern can be reduced. It can also be stabilized. Further, by adjusting the filling speed of each of the filling nozzles 62a to 62c, there is an advantage that it is easy to obtain a desired marble-like color pattern.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and improvements or changes can be made within the scope of the purpose of improvement or the idea of the present invention.
