  • Patent number: 11980276
    Abstract: A rod-shaped object feeding container includes a cartridge unit and a knock mechanism unit. The cartridge unit includes a movable body and a female screw member. The knock mechanism unit includes a coupling member, a knock member, a spring member, a main body tube, and a rotary member. When the knock member is pressed, the knock member converts a force with which the knock member is pressed into a rotational force and causes the coupling member and the female screw member to be rotated in one direction so as to advance the movable body and the rod-shaped object. When the rotary member is rotated relative to the main body tube in an opposite direction, the rotary member causes the coupling member and the female screw member to be rotated in the opposite direction so as to retract the movable body and the rod-shaped object.

  • Publication number: 20230313581
    Abstract: A sliding door driving device is fixed to a body panel of a vehicle and operates a sliding door of the vehicle in an opening direction and a closing direction. The sliding door driving device includes an elongated guide frame, a first driven pulley and a second driven pulley that are rotatably supported at both ends in a longitudinal direction of the guide frame, a belt that is wound around the first driven pulley and the second driven pulley, and a cover that covers the belt. The cover has an upper wall that covers the belt from above, an outer wall that extends downward from an outer end of the upper wall in a width direction of the vehicle, and an inner wall that extends downward from an inner end of the upper wall in the width direction.

  • Publication number: 20230157436
    Abstract: A bar-shaped cosmetic material feeding container includes a front tube, an inner tube arranged inside the front tube and forming an opening to dispense a bar-shaped cosmetic material, a screw member that is rotatable relative to the front tube, a moving body that is accommodated inside the inner tube and that includes a core chuck for gripping the bar-shaped cosmetic material. The inner tube is movable in the axial direction through an opening of the front tube. The moving body is coupled to the screw member to move the bar-shaped cosmetic material in the axial direction through the opening of the inner tube. The feeding container further includes a first spring to buffer a movement of the inner tube, and a second spring to buffer a movement of the core chuck of the moving body, that has a spring constant different from a spring constant of the first spring.

  • Patent number: 11369181
    Abstract: A cosmetic material feeding container includes a cylindrical tube that accommodates a cosmetic material, a leading cylinder to removably accommodate the tube, a container body that is detachably coupled with the leading cylinder, a cylindrical female screw member located inside the container body that is rotationally fixed with the container body, a pusher bar located inside the leading cylinder to push the cosmetic material in an axial direction to an outside of the tube when the pusher bar is rotated to screw into the female screw member, and a rotation stopper member located inside the leading cylinder to rotationally fix the pusher bar relative to the leading cylinder in the circumferential direction. The tube may be replaced when the leading cylinder is detached from the container body.
