  • Publication number: 20170101235
    Abstract: When the temperature of an external environment is decreased, for example, a heat radiating portion 12a whose surface area is increased by convex portions 12b and 12c provided on the external surface of a cap body 12 actively radiates heat of the external surface of the cap body 12 and thus promotes cooling. Consequently, condensation forms on the inner surface of the cap body 12 before condensation forms on the external surface of a container covered by the cap body 12. The condensed drops are trapped, by surface tension, in a concave portion 12d of a liquid trapping portion 12k provided on the inner surface of the cap body 12. The drops can be prevented from adhering to the external surface of the container covered by the cap body 12.

  • Publication number: 20170036478
    Abstract: Supporting portions 2t and 2t of a rear portion 2z of an applying body holder 2 are advanced into an impregnated body 3 impregnated with a liquid L while a rear portion 4z of an applying body 4 having a plate shape and exhibiting capillarity is supported so as to be sandwiched or wrapped by the supporting portions 2t and 2t. The rear portion 4z of the applying body 4 can therefore be easily inserted into the impregnated body 3 without being bent, while protected by the supporting portions 2t and 2t. The liquid L in the impregnated body 3 is surely moved to the applying body 4, and the liquid L flows straight forward through an opening 2u at a rear end of the supporting portions 2t and 2t, so that the liquid L in the impregnated body 3 is moved smoothly.

  • Publication number: 20170000240
    Abstract: A rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container in which a leading tube and a container main body are relatively rotated in one direction, an action of a screw part moves a rod-shaped cosmetic material supporting body to reach a movement limit, and then the leading tube and the container main body are further relatively rotated in the one direction. With movement of the rod-shaped cosmetic material supporting body stopped, while a spring portion in a rotation stopper tube shrinks, the screw part screws forward to release screwing of the screw part. Additionally, the movement of the rod-shaped cosmetic material supporting body is stopped and therefore the rod-shaped cosmetic material supporting body does not move back and forth in an axial direction. Accordingly, a rod-shaped cosmetic material does not move back and forth in the axial direction as well, thereby ensuring minimizing an impact to the rod-shaped cosmetic material.

  • Publication number: 20160166043
    Abstract: In the liquid cosmetic container of the present invention, the operation portion 2 is provided on side surface of the container body 1. When the operation portion is pressed from the outside, the valve body 5 seating on the valve seat portion 6a is moved in the axial direction by the valve pressing portion 6h and seats away from the valve seat portion 6a, so that the flow path, in which the liquid cosmetic flows, is opened and then, the liquid cosmetic is supplied to the application body 4. Thus, it is not necessary to push the application body into the container 1. Further, the opening/closing of the flow path are performed by moving the valve body 5 in the axial direction by pressing the operation portions from the outside, so that the diameter of the container body 1 can be reduced, comparing with the conventional container.

  • Patent number: 8821059
    Abstract: To make a cosmetic container convenient, a closing part 6b of a discharge cylinder 6 closes an insertion hole 2h of a middle cylinder part 2 and seals a cosmetic A when a moving part 3 is positioned at a first stopping position, the discharge cylinder 6 protrudes by a predetermined length from an end face of the insertion hole 2h and slits 6c of the discharge cylinder 6 are exposed when the moving part 3 is moved from the first stopping position to a second stopping position separating in an axial direction, so that a user can visually confirm that the cosmetic can flow out through the slits 6c, the discharge cylinder and a discharge cylinder opening part 6a, and the moving part 3 is left at the second stopping position, so that the cosmetic A can securely flow out without variation when in use.

  • Patent number: 8328447
    Abstract: When rotating a main body tube and an operation tube in a disclosed container toward a first direction, a moveable screw tube advances a predetermined amount. When further rotating toward the first direction, a screwing part urges a moving body forward. A female thread of the screwing part in the moveable screw tube is radially outwardly expandable via a slit. When the moveable screw tube advances toward the first direction, the outer diameter of the front end part is restricted and expansion thereof is prevented. When further rotating toward the first direction and the screwing part urges the moving body forward, expansion of the front end part and the female thread of the screwing part may be suppressed. Accordingly, the screwing part reliably exerts screw function when the moving body advances.

  • Patent number: 8277137
    Abstract: To generate a sense of click according to the movement of a moving member, reset screwing sections to screw in when a screwing action of the screwing sections is released, and reduce the number of components. In a container 100, when a main body cylinder 2 and an operation cylinder 3 are relatively rotated in an extending direction and relatively rotated in a retracting direction, a female screw member 5 and a moving member 4 relatively rotate, the moving member 4 moves forward and moves backward according to a screwing action of screwing sections 8, and click teeth 54 and 64 also relatively rotate in synchronization with each other. Since an elastic body 61 urges the click teeth 64 toward the click teeth 54, a sense of click is given when the moving member 4 moves forward and moves backward.

  • Patent number: 8277136
    Abstract: A stick-shaped material extruding container for performing forward and backward movements of a stick-shaped material without trouble and prevent detachment of the stick-shaped material by an impact. A movable body having a piston-like extruding portion, closely attached within a filling member, is arranged within a container. The stick-shaped material is loaded in the filling member so as to be closely attached to the filling member and the piston-like extruding portion. When the stick-shaped material is pushed by a forward movement of the piston-like extruding portion to appear from an opening of the container, a sucking action is generated due to decompression between the piston-like extruding portion and the stick-shaped material by a backward movement of the piston-like extruding portion to retract the stick-shaped material, and the decompression prevents falling off of the stick-shaped material from the container.
