  • Patent number: 8206051
    Abstract: A cosmetic-containing applicator. The applicator is mounted, at its tip end, with an applicator body in which a flange-shaped engagement part is formed at an outer periphery at a rear end of a fiber bundle, comprising an accommodating part accommodating liquid cosmetics, a tip casing mounted on a tip end side of the accommodating part and formed with an insertion hole in which the applicator body (30) is mountable, a guiding part for guiding the cosmetics from the accommodating part to the applicator body, and a reduced-diameter part formed as an inwardly facing flange and reducing in diameter between the insertion hole and the guiding part. The reduced-diameter part is divided into claw-shaped holding pieces by slits, and its smallest-diameter part has a diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the engagement part.

  • Patent number: 7044673
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a cartridge type applicator which can prevent the application liquid from flowing back from the applying portion into the cartridge and which is suitable for use with a high viscosity application liquid. This applicator includes an advancing mechanism or piston mechanism made up of a sealing plug disposed inside a cylindrical cartridge tank for constituting the rear end wall of the tank, and a rod member attached to the sealing plug for causing the sealing plug to move in the axial direction of the tank; and an actuator (actuating member) for causing the rod member to move or advance in the axial direction by rotation thereof, and is constructed such that, when the actuator is turned, the rod member causes the sealing plug to move in the axial direction so as to reduce the volume of the space inside the tank.

  • Patent number: 6244769
    Abstract: A cartridge includes a cartridge body and a holder for holding a stick cosmetic and movable forward/backward in accordance with a screw movement. A container body includes an outer cylinder for rotatably holding the cartridge body, a clicking rod movable forward/backward, a rotor rotated by a cam mechanism while moving forward together with the clicking rod when a clicking operation is performed, and a rotation rod for transmitting the rotational force of the rotor to the holder. The holder and the rotor engage with the rotation rod in the rotating direction and are slidable forward/backward. When a clicking operation is performed, the holder rotates to move forward in accordance with the screw movement. When a clicking operation is not performed, the cartridge body is rotated to move the holder forward/backward.

  • Patent number: 5803640
    Abstract: An applicator includes: a barrel cylinder; an application portion in front of the barrel cylinder; a tank placed behind the application portion for storing liquid inside the barrel cylinder; a pipe (conduit) for conducting the liquid ejected from the tank to the application portion; a piston which is fitted in the tank as to slide in the axial direction ensuring a watertight contact; and a liquid pushing device placed in the rear part of the barrel cylinder for pushing the liquid from the tank to the application portion via the pipe by moving the piston forwards. In this applicator, the bore of the pipe is set between 0.2 mm and 1.7 mm, and the viscosity of the liquid measured by the E-type viscometer within an temperature range for operation is set between 20 mpa.sec and 100,000 mpa.sec. Further, the barrel cylinder is formed of PP, and the piston is formed of HDPE or LLDPE.
