  • Publication number: 20150030371
    Abstract: An applying material extruding container includes a leading tube and a pipe member inserted into the leading tube so as to be slidable in the axial line direction of the leading tube relative to the leading tube. In the initial state, the front end of the pipe member is located at a position displaced backward a predetermined distance from the front end of the leading tube, and the applying material is filled from in the pipe hole of the pipe member to in the tube hole of the leading tube. The inner surface of the region of the tube hole extends straight in the axial line direction. In the applying material extruding container, when the container main body and the control tube are relatively rotated in one/the other direction, by the screwing action of the first screw part, the pipe member is made to move forward/backward together with the applying material.

  • Publication number: 20150030372
    Abstract: The applying material extruding container includes a movable body and a screw part in the container including a container main body and a control tube, wherein by relatively rotating the container main body and the control tube, the screw part makes the movable body move forward, and the applying material extruding container includes a leading tube. The screw part includes a female screw as a ridge spirally extending on the inner circumferential surface of the leading tube. An opening is formed on the peripheral wall of the leading tube, and the female screw is arranged so as to be continued to the opening. One side constituting the sides of the opening extends along the trajectory drawn by the female screw in the side view facing the opening.

  • Publication number: 20130279965
    Abstract: An application material extruding container has a filling member including a filling area filled with an application material, a piston inward inserted to the filling member in a rear end of the filling area, and a hole portion arranged in the filling member. A front end surface of the piston is arranged in front of a rear end of an opening of the hole portion when the piston is at a backward moving limit, and a part of the application material is flowed out of the filling area while passing through the hole portion. When the piston is assembled in the filling member, the piston is inward inserted to the filling member while securely discharging an air between the application material and the piston out of the filling area via the hole portion, until the application material is flowed out of the filling area via the hole portion.

  • 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: 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.

  • Publication number: 20120076568
    Abstract: The invention provides a cosmetic material application container which can stably and easily draw a cosmetic material line, and is structured to discharge a cosmetic material in a filling region from a pen point portion formed by a soft material. A pen point portion shape is three-dimensionally formed by structuring a flat column body by a flat base end shape and a leading end shape provided closer to a leading end side than the base end shape, setting such an arcuate curve as to incline while heading for a base end side from one intersecting point between an outer edge of the leading end shape and a long axis (L2) and bulge to the leading end side, on a plane including a long axis (L1) and the long axis (L2), and cutting the flat column body by a cut surface passing through the curve.
