Description

The present invention relates to a comb-teeth cap for applying the contents of a container body, such as a hair cosmetic, to hair, and an applicator container equipped with the comb-teeth cap.

Teeth-equipped caps for applying contents such as hair dye, hair manicure, and other hair cosmetics to hair, as well as applicator containers equipped with such teeth-equipped caps, are known. For example, the teeth-equipped cap disclosed in Patent Document 1 has an internal dispensing passage and an applicator section equipped with multiple main teeth pieces with dispensing holes opening to the left and right at the tip (top end) of the cap, and multiple solid, thin, rod-shaped secondary teeth pieces.

The comb-teeth cap disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a sub-comb tooth row with multiple sub-comb tooth pieces arranged on the outside of two main comb tooth rows with multiple main comb tooth rows. This provides appropriate resistance when combing hair with the comb-teeth cap, allowing the contents to be applied smoothly to hair.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-313588

However, in the comb-teeth cap disclosed in Patent Document 1, the sub-comb teeth are arranged at a height opposite the dispensing hole of the main comb teeth. Therefore, when dispensing highly viscous contents or contents in a foamy form, the contents dispensed from the dispensing hole may accumulate at the tips of the main and sub-comb teeth. As a result, while combing hair, excess contents may not move to the base end of the main comb teeth but may be pushed outward from between the sub-comb teeth, resulting in problems such as the contents sticking to unintended areas such as the face or hands, or dripping onto the floor. As a result, the contents may not be sufficiently retained at the base end of the main and sub-comb teeth, making it difficult to apply the contents efficiently.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a comb-teeth cap and applicator container that can effectively apply the contents using the applicator part and prevent the contents from adhering to unintended areas.

In order to solve the above problems, the comb-teeth cap of the present invention comprises an attachment part having an attachment cap body that is attached to the mouth of a container body that contains the contents and a connecting cylindrical body that is connected to the attachment cap body, a handle part that is held by the attachment part and has an outlet path inside for discharging the contents through the connecting cylindrical body, and an application part that is held by the handle part and has a main comb-teeth row in which multiple main comb-teeth pieces are arranged, and a small comb-teeth row in which multiple small comb-teeth pieces are arranged, and the small comb-teeth row is arranged, and is characterized in that the small comb-teeth row is positioned outside the base end of the main comb-teeth row, and the tip of the small comb-teeth piece is located closer to the base end than the outlet hole provided in the main comb-teeth piece.

In the comb-teeth cap according to the present invention, it is preferable that the arrangement pitch of the small comb teeth in the small comb teeth row is narrower than the arrangement pitch of the main comb teeth in the main comb teeth row.

In the comb-teeth cap according to the present invention, the small comb-teeth pieces are thinner than the main comb-teeth pieces, are elastically deformable, and are preferably provided in numbers at least twice the number of the main comb-teeth pieces.

In the comb-teeth cap according to the present invention, when the length of the main comb-teeth piece is _{L_A} and the length of the small comb-teeth piece is _{L_B} , it is preferable that the following relational expression be satisfied.
1/4≦L _B /L _A ≦3/4

In the comb-teeth cap according to the present invention, when the length of the main comb-teeth piece is L _A , the discharge hole is preferably provided between the tip of the main comb-teeth piece and L _A ×1/4.

In the comb-teeth cap according to the present invention, it is preferable that the applicator part is detachably held on the handle part.

To solve the above problem, the applicator container of the present invention is characterized by comprising a container body that contains the contents and the comb-teeth cap, and the contents contained in the container body are discharged from the discharge hole.

The comb-teeth cap of the present invention comprises an attachment part that is attached to the opening of the container body, a handle part that is held by the attachment part and has an outlet path for discharging the contents, and an applicator part that is held by the handle, and the contents can be applied using the applicator part. The applicator part has a main comb tooth row in which multiple main comb tooth pieces are arranged, and has a discharge hole at its tip that leads to the outlet path. Therefore, when applying the contents to hair, for example, the contents can be applied to hair by ejecting the contents from the tip of the main comb tooth piece and combing the hair with the main comb tooth row.

The comb-teeth cap also has a small comb-teeth array consisting of multiple small comb-teeth pieces arranged on the outside of the main comb-teeth array. The tips of the small comb-teeth pieces are located closer to the base end than the discharge hole provided in the main comb-teeth piece. Therefore, when applying the contents while combing hair or the like with the comb-teeth cap, the contents discharged from the discharge hole move toward the base end of the main comb-teeth piece without being blocked by the small comb-teeth piece. Furthermore, the contents that do not adhere to the hair or the like move toward the base end and are retained or stored in the space between the main comb-teeth array and the small comb-teeth array. Therefore, when combing hair from the top of the head toward the tips using the comb-teeth cap, for example, the contents move from the tips of the main comb-teeth pieces toward the base end, allowing the contents to be applied smoothly to the tips of the hair or the like, preventing the contents from dripping or adhering to unintended locations.

Embodiments of the comb-teeth cap 100 and applicator container 100A according to the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. First, the schematic configuration of the comb-teeth cap 100 and applicator container 100A will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The applicator container 100A shown in FIG. 1 comprises a container body 10 that contains the contents, and a comb-teeth cap 100 that is attached to the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10, and is configured so that the contents contained in the container body 10 can be applied by an applicator portion 40 that has comb teeth (main comb teeth 41 and small comb teeth 42).

In this embodiment, the container body 10 contains hair cosmetics such as gray hair dye, hair manicure, or treatment, and the comb cap 100 is used to apply the contents to hair. However, in the comb cap 100 and applicator container 100A of the present invention, the contents applied by the applicator 40 are not limited to hair cosmetics. They may be, for example, glue, adhesive, detergent, dye, paint, or any other fluid such as liquid, cream, or gel. Furthermore, the liquid contents may be foamed and dispensed in a foamed form. Furthermore, the area to which the contents are applied is not limited to hair, and the type, state, dispense form, and application area of the contents are not particularly limited.

In this specification, "bottom" and "top" indicate relative positional relationships, and when the application container 100A is placed on a placement surface in the upright position shown in Figure 1, the direction toward which the bottom surface 12a of the container body 10 is located is referred to as the "bottom" direction, and the direction toward which the comb-teeth cap 100 is attached to the container body 10 is referred to as the "top" direction. Furthermore, the direction along the central axis O of the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10 is referred to as the axial direction. The configuration of each part will be explained below.

As shown in Figure 1, the container body 10 comprises, in order from bottom to top in the axial direction, a body 12 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, a shoulder 13, and a mouth 11. The body 12 has the bottom surface 12a and a peripheral side wall surface 12b, and is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom. The shoulder 13 tapers in diameter from bottom to top in the axial direction, and is connected to the body 12 and mouth 11. The mouth 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a smaller diameter than the body 12, and the comb-teeth cap 100 is attached to the mouth 11.

The container body 10 (application container 100A) can be configured as, for example, a squeeze bottle or an aerosol container.
Here, a squeeze bottle refers to a container in which the contents are dispensed by pressing the container body 10. When the container body 10 (applicator container 100A) is configured as a squeeze bottle, it is preferable that the container body 10 has a double structure including an outer layer and an inner layer that shrinks and deforms as the contents decrease, and that the contents contained in the inner layer are dispensed by pressing the outer layer, while introducing outside air between the outer layer and the inner layer, while preventing outside air from entering the inner layer. However, when the container body 10 (applicator container 100A) is configured as a squeeze bottle, its specific form is not particularly limited.

An aerosol container is a container in which the mouth 11 of the container body 10 is closed and a discharge valve is provided, the container body 10 is filled with liquefied gas or compressed gas along with the contents, and the contents are discharged using the force of the gas by opening the discharge valve. Therefore, when the container body 10 (applicator container 100A) is configured as an aerosol container, the container body 10 is configured as a pressure-resistant container that can withstand internal pressure, and is equipped with various components required to realize an aerosol container, such as a discharge valve and a stem. However, when the container body 10 (applicator container 100A) is configured as an aerosol container, its specific form is not particularly limited.

Next, the configuration of the comb-teeth cap 100 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. As shown in Figure 1, the comb-teeth cap 100 comprises an attachment part 20 that is attached to the mouth part 11 of the container body 10, a handle part 30 that is held by the attachment part 20 and has an outlet path 31 (see Figure 3) for discharging the contents therein, and an applicator part 40 that is held by the handle part 30.

The mounting portion 20 includes a mounting cap body 21 and a connecting cylinder body 22 connected to the mounting cap body 21 .
The attachment cap body 21 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and its inner peripheral surface is provided with a threaded groove (not shown). Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the mouth portion 11 is provided with a threaded ridge (not shown). These are screwed together, so that the comb-toothed cap 100 is detachably attached to the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10 via the attachment portion 20. The connecting cylinder 22 has a hollow structure. By pressing the container body 10, the contents are discharged through the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10 to the attachment portion 20 side. The contents are discharged through the inside of the connecting cylinder 22 to the discharge path 31 provided inside the handle portion 30.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, in this embodiment, the handle portion 30 includes a long, axially elongated comb tooth-holding cylinder 32 and handle-side comb tooth pieces 33 provided at the upper and lower end portions of the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32.

As shown in FIG. 3, the comb tooth holding cylinder 32 is formed hollow, and the inner hollow portion thereof serves as the lead-out path 31 .
1 to 3, the handle-side comb tooth piece 33 has the same appearance as the main comb tooth piece 41 provided in the applicator part 40. However, unlike the main comb tooth piece 41, the handle-side comb tooth piece 33 does not have a discharge hole for discharging the contents.

As shown in Figure 4, the handle 30 also has a protruding groove 34 that protrudes from the outer surface of the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32 toward the comb tooth-arrangement wall 43a of the applicator 40, and a locking projection 35 (see Figure 1) that protrudes radially outward from the outer surface of the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32. These components will be described later.

Next, the applicator unit 40 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. As shown in Figure 1 and other figures, the applicator unit 40 has a main comb tooth array 41A in which multiple main comb tooth pieces 41 are arranged, a small comb tooth array 42A in which multiple small comb tooth pieces 42 are arranged, and an attachment base unit 43 having a comb tooth arrangement wall 43a on which the main comb tooth array 41A and the small comb tooth array 42A are arranged. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, the small comb tooth arrays 42A are arranged on both sides (outside) of the main comb tooth array 41A in the direction in which hair is combed by the applicator unit 40. Note that while all main comb tooth pieces 41 are given reference numerals in Figure 1, reference numerals for all main comb tooth pieces 41 are omitted in Figures 2 and 3. Furthermore, in Figures 1 to 3, reference numerals are given to only one small comb tooth piece 42, and reference numerals for the other small comb tooth pieces 42 are omitted.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the main comb tooth pieces 41 have an elongated tapered shape in a direction approximately perpendicular to the axial direction. As shown in Figure 2, the main comb tooth pieces 41 are formed with an oval cross section that is long in the direction of combing, and in this embodiment, are formed with a thin axial thickness. As shown in Figure 3, the main comb tooth pieces 41 are hollow, and this hollow portion serves as a discharge channel 41a that communicates with the outlet channel 31. In addition, a discharge hole 41b for discharging the contents is provided at the tip of each main comb tooth piece 41. The discharge hole 41b is formed so that it passes through the main comb tooth piece 41 in the axial direction up and down in the state shown in Figure 3 (see Figures 4(a) to (c)), and communicates with the discharge channel 41a.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the small comb tooth pieces 42 are thinner than the main comb tooth pieces 41. Furthermore, the small comb tooth pieces 42 are solid, and do not have any discharge paths or discharge holes for discharging the contents.

1 and 4(a), the small comb tooth pieces 42 are shorter than the main comb tooth pieces 41, and the tips of the small comb tooth pieces 42 are set to a length that is positioned closer to the base end than the discharge holes 41b provided in the main comb tooth pieces 41. Here, when the length of the main comb tooth pieces 41 is L _A and the length of the small comb tooth pieces 42 is L _B , the relationship L _A > L _B is satisfied.
In this case, it is preferable that the discharge hole 41b is provided within a range of approximately L _A × 1/4 length from the tip of the main comb tooth piece 41, where L _A is the length of the main comb tooth piece 41, and further, it is particularly preferable that the length L _B of the small comb tooth piece 42 is set so as to satisfy the following relational expression (1).
1/4≦L _B /L _A ≦3/4...(1)

In the comb-teeth cap 100 of this embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and 4(a), the length of the small comb-teeth piece 42 is set relative to the main comb-teeth piece 41 so that L _B =L _A ×½.
Furthermore, "A" and "B" shown in Fig. 4(b) correspond to the length L _A of the main comb tooth piece 41 and the length L _B of the small comb tooth piece 42, respectively, and indicate a state where L _B (B) = L _A (A) × 1/4. Furthermore, A and B' shown in Fig. 4(c) correspond to L _A and L _B , respectively, and indicate a state where L _B (B') = L _A (A) × 3/4.

The small comb tooth row 42A is arranged outside the main comb tooth row 41A. Here, the outside of the main comb tooth row 41A mainly refers to the side in the arrangement direction of the main comb tooth pieces 41. The comb tooth cap 100 of this embodiment has one main comb tooth row 41A. When the comb tooth cap of the present invention has multiple main comb tooth rows 41A, the small comb tooth row 42A is arranged in a position that is not inside the main comb tooth row 41A.

Furthermore, the arrangement pitch of the small comb tooth pieces 42 in the small comb tooth row 42A is preferably narrower than the arrangement pitch of the main comb tooth pieces 41 in the main comb tooth row 41A, for example, 2/3 or less, 1/2 or less, 1/3 or less, etc. Furthermore, the number of small comb tooth pieces 42 in one row of the small comb tooth row 42A is preferably 1.5 times or more, 2 times or more, the number of main comb tooth pieces 41 constituting the main comb tooth row 41A. In this embodiment, the arrangement pitch of the small comb tooth row 42A is 1/2 or less and the number of small comb tooth pieces 42 is more than twice that of the main comb tooth row 41A, so the small comb tooth pieces 42 are arranged more densely than the main comb tooth pieces 41. That is, in the comb-teeth cap 100 of this embodiment, the main comb-teeth array 41A has a coarse comb shape, while the small comb-teeth array 42A has a fine comb shape (or a brush shape).

The mounting base portion 43 has the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a (see Figures 1 to 4), a through hole 43b (see Figures 3 and 4(a)) that penetrates the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a in the thickness direction, mounting walls 43d that are provided to cover part of the peripheral wall surface of the comb tooth holding cylinder 32 of the handle portion 30 from both sides of the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a as shown in Figures 1 and 4(a), and a locking hole groove 43e that is provided in the mounting wall 43d and locks onto the locking protrusions 35 provided on the outer surface of the comb tooth holding cylinder 32.

As described above, the main comb tooth array 41A and the small comb tooth arrays 42A arranged on both sides of the main comb tooth array 41A are provided on the outer surface of the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a (see FIG. 2). As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4(a), the through holes 43b provided in the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a communicate with the discharge passages 41a in each main comb tooth piece 41.
4(a) to 4(c), a communication hole 32a communicating with the outlet passage 31 is provided in the peripheral wall surface of the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32. The protruding groove 34 is provided in the peripheral wall surface of the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32 so as to surround the communication hole 32a. The contents discharged from the outlet passage 31 inside the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32 are discharged from the communication hole 32a through the through-hole 43b to the discharge passage 41a inside the main comb tooth piece 41. Although not shown, a protruding piece may be configured to protrude from the inner surface of the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a toward the comb tooth-holding cylinder 32, and the protruding piece may be fitted into the protruding groove 34.

As shown in Figures 1 to 3, when the applicator 40 configured in this manner is pushed from one axial side to the other on the handle 30 so that the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a is housed between the handle-side comb tooth pieces 33 provided at both axial ends, the mounting wall 43d covers the peripheral wall surface of the comb tooth holding cylinder 32 and the locking protrusion 35 locks into the locking hole groove 43e, thereby holding the applicator 40 to the handle 30. Furthermore, while the applicator 40 is held on the handle 30, for example, by grasping the mounting wall 43d with one hand or the like and pulling it toward one axial side, the lock between the applicator 40 and the handle 30 is released, and the applicator 40 can be removed from the handle 30.

The application part 40 is molded from a soft, elastically deformable material such as soft polyethylene, elastomer, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, silicone rubber, and urethane, so that the main comb tooth pieces 41 and small comb tooth pieces 42 can come into gentle contact with the scalp and hair.
In particular, by molding the small comb-tooth pieces 42 from these soft materials, the small comb-tooth pieces 42 can be easily elastically deformed, and the small comb-tooth row 42A can be made bristle-shaped or brush-shaped.
In this embodiment, the applicator portion 40 is integrally molded from these materials, but the main comb tooth pieces 41 and the small comb tooth pieces 42 may be configured separately. Specifically, only the main comb tooth pieces 41 may be configured separately from the mounting base portion 43, and the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a may be provided with insertion holes for inserting the main comb tooth pieces 41, and the main comb tooth row 41A may be arranged on the comb tooth arrangement wall 43a by inserting the main comb tooth pieces 41 into the insertion holes, with the remaining configuration being the same as above.

Next, referring to Figure 5, the procedure for applying the contents to hair H using the comb-teeth cap 100 and applicator container 100A of the above embodiment will be described. However, Figures 5(a) to 5(c) only show the portion corresponding to the B-B cross section of Figure 1, and only show the main components and reference numerals of the handle 30 and applicator 40. Furthermore, in Figures 5(a) to 5(c), the contents C are represented by hatching, and hair H is represented by multiple curved lines.

First, as shown in Figure 5(a), the container body 10 is pressed to eject the contents C from the ejection hole 41b provided at the tip of the main comb tooth piece 41. Then, as shown in Figure 5(b), the tip of the main comb tooth piece 41 (main comb tooth row 41A) is inserted into the hair H, and the applicator 40 is used to comb the hair H along the direction of the hair flow, causing the contents C to come into contact with the hair H and be applied to the hair H.

As the applicator 40 combs the hair H, the main comb tooth pieces 41 are gradually inserted deeper, for example, toward the scalp, as shown in Figures 5(b) and (c). During this process, excess contents C that do not adhere to the hair H are pushed by the hair H and move toward the base end of the main comb tooth pieces 41. When the main comb tooth pieces 41 are inserted deeper, for example, toward the scalp, the tips of the small comb tooth pieces 42 (small comb tooth row 42A) are also inserted into the hair H, as shown in Figure 5(c), and the small comb tooth pieces 42 come into contact with the hair H after the main comb tooth pieces 41. After the main comb tooth pieces 41 have passed, the excess contents C that have adhered to the hair H are retained or stored in the space between the small comb tooth pieces 42 and the main comb tooth pieces 41 as the small comb tooth pieces 42 pass. Additionally, the small comb tooth pieces 42, which are positioned forward in the combing direction of the main comb tooth pieces 41, hold the contents C applied to the hair H by the main comb tooth pieces 41 so that they are not pushed out (e.g., downward) of the applicator 40. Therefore, when combing the hair H with the comb tooth cap 100, the contents C can be applied efficiently and well to the tips of the hair H, with the contents C held in the space between the main comb tooth pieces 41 (main comb tooth row 41A) and the small comb tooth pieces 42 (small comb tooth row 42A).

Furthermore, for example, if the length L _B of the small comb tooth pieces 42 becomes longer than the example shown in Figure 4(c) (L _B = B'), that is, if the length L _B of the small comb tooth pieces 42 becomes longer than the length L _A × 3/4 of the main comb tooth pieces 41 and the tip of the small comb tooth pieces 42 reaches the discharge holes 41b provided at the tip portion of the main comb tooth pieces 41 (L _B >B'), the contents C discharged from the discharge holes 41b to the tip portion of the main comb tooth pieces 41 will be blocked by the small comb tooth pieces 42, making it difficult for them to move toward the base end while combing the hair H, or it will become difficult for the small comb tooth pieces 42 to comb out and collect the excess contents C, which may be pushed out of the applicator part 40 while combing the hair H, resulting in problems such as the contents sticking to unintended places such as the face or hands, or dripping onto the floor, etc.

Furthermore, for example, if the small comb tooth row 42A is not provided on the outside of the main comb tooth row (a row consisting of multiple main comb tooth pieces 81 shown in FIG. 6), as in the applicator part 80 shown in FIG. 6 as a comparative example of the present invention, the contents C discharged from the discharge hole 81b provided at the tip of the main comb tooth piece 81 while combing the hair H will be applied to the hair H, and then the excess contents C will be pushed out by the hair and adhere to the peripheral wall surface of the comb tooth holding cylinder 82, which may again result in problems such as the contents adhering to unintended places such as the face or hands, or dripping onto the floor, etc.

In contrast, as described above, the comb-teeth cap 100 of the present invention has the small comb-teeth row 42A located outside the main comb-teeth row 41A. This allows excess contents to be held between the main comb-teeth row 41A and the small comb-teeth row 42A, allowing the contents to be applied efficiently to the hair, and preventing the contents from moving to the outside of the application part 40 and adhering to unintended areas.

The comb-teeth cap 100 and applicator container 100A of the above-described embodiment are one form of the comb-teeth cap and applicator container according to the present invention, and it goes without saying that the comb-teeth cap and applicator container according to the present invention can be modified as appropriate within the scope that does not deviate from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiment, the handle portion 30 has a comb tooth holding cylinder 32 that is long in the axial direction, and the applicator portion 40 has long main comb tooth pieces 41 and small comb tooth pieces 42 that are oriented approximately perpendicular to the axial direction, but the configuration of the handle portion 30 and the applicator portion 40 may be appropriately changed so that the main comb tooth pieces 41 and small comb tooth pieces 42 are oriented long, for example, in the axial direction of the container body 10.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the application container 100A is described as a squeeze bottle, but as mentioned above, the application container 100A may of course be an aerosol container, and in that case, the configuration of the handle portion 30 and the application portion 40 may be appropriately modified to make the above-mentioned discharge valve depressible.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the small comb tooth pieces 42 are densely arranged to form a brush-like or bristle-like small comb tooth row 42A, but as mentioned above, the number and arrangement pitch of the small comb tooth pieces 42 can of course be changed as appropriate, and the same applies to the main comb tooth pieces 41.
