  • Publication number: 20050178800
    Abstract: To provide a movable body feeding apparatus at a low cost by reducing a number of parts and making manufacturing process such as a molding, an assembling or the like simpler, the apparatus employs a tubular body (8) obtained by integrally forming a thread tube (8a), a ratchet gear (8e) in a side of a main body tube (1) and an elastic body (8b), instead of the conventional structure that a pair of ratchet gears are arranged between an engaging mechanism in a side of a main body tube and a compression coil spring, in which it is necessary to separate the engaging mechanism side and the compression coil spring side, and three parts (a plurality of parts) are required.

  • Patent number: 6811062
    Abstract: It becomes possible for the rotational force generated by an operating member (12, ) to be transmitted to a cylindrical movable body (13) by means of a shaft member (62) inserted slidably in the longitudinal direction in a non-rotatable fashion, inside the movable body (13), and moreover, the shaft member (62) becomes able to pass inside the movable body (13) by penetrating through the inner side of the ratchet spring section (81), a composition being adopted wherein the shaft member (62) passes through the female screw thread (11a) of the main body (11) which screws together with the male screw thread (13a) of the movable body (13).

  • Patent number: 6409402
    Abstract: A cosmetic pencil is provided in which the color tone of its cosmetic material may be distinguished from the outside without marking a cylindrical shaft or a tail cap thereof with the same color, and does not require a secondary processing such as cutting processing for preventing a movement of the cosmetic material when the cylindrical shaft is formed. A transparent cylindrical shaft (2) having a good cutting property is formed from a composite material of olefin-based polymer with polypropylene as the base material, a softened cosmetic material (M) is filled and set in a shaft hole (22) of this cylindrical shaft (2), and the tip end side of the cylindrical shaft (2) is cut to use the cosmetic material (M). The transparent cylindrical shaft (2) has moving prevention measure (5) for the cosmetic material (M) to prevent the filled cosmetic material (M) from moving within the shaft hole (22), and this moving prevention measure (5) may be molded by an injection molding method.

  • Patent number: 6345922
    Abstract: A cartridge type feeding container has a rod-like cosmetic material in which the rod-like cosmetic material is neither damaged nor pulled apart even if a buffering external shock is applied to the container and the cartridge is not pulled apart from the container body or any load is applied in a direction in which the core chucks and the feeding mechanism and dismounted apart from each other even if a torque is further applied to exceed a maximum fed condition. These advantages are the result of an internal member made of flexible material and provided on a part of an inner circumferential surface thereof with a cutaway formed by combining a slit cut in a circumferential direction. The internal member and the container body form a container cover portion such that a shock, applied from the outside of the container cover portion, is buffered in the cutaway in the internal member and is prevented from being transmitted to the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 5836708
    Abstract: The cartridge C and the case body 10 relatively rotate to rotate the extruding rod 13 by engaging the rotary driving hole 24a to the shaft 14. The extruding rod 13 moves back and forward against the exterior case 11 of the case body 10 along an axial direction of the extruding rod 13. The tip end of the shaft 14 of the extruding rod 13 pushes the core chuck 21 against the spring 25 in the cartridge body 20 by back and forward movement of the extruding rod 13. Therefore, a stick-type solid cosmetic 22 held by the core chuck is fed from the tip opening of the cartridge body 20. The extruding rod 13 has applied thereto slide resistance by an elastic ring 39 positioned in the case body 10 and through which this rod extends in friction relationship.

  • Patent number: 5765955
    Abstract: The present invention provides a stick-shaped cosmetic extrusion case in which a stick-shaped cosmetic cartridge is removably attached to a case body so that a stick-shaped cosmetic can be replaced by replacing the cartridge with another one. The stick-shaped cosmetic accommodated in the cartridge is extruded through the case body by rotating the cartridge attached to the case body relative to the case body. The cartridge includes a housing cylinder, a holder, and a spring. The holder holds the stick-shaped cosmetic, and is accommodated in a through hole formed in the housing cylinder. The holder is biased by the spring to retain the stick-shaped cosmetic within the through hole. The holder has a holding portion for holding the base of the stick-shaped cosmetic and a shaft portion projecting downwardly from the bottom of the holding portion.

  • Patent number: 5653338
    Abstract: A cosmetic extrusion case includes a chuck holding a cosmetic, an intermediate cylinder into which the chuck is inserted, a base cylinder into which the intermediate cylinder is inserted. By forming helical grooves in the inner surfaces of the intermediate cylinder and the base cylinder, respectively, the case has a dual structural extruding mechanism. The helical groove of the intermediate cylinder extends to the open end of the intermediate cylinder to allow a projection of the chuck to easily engage with the helical groove from the open end, thereby smoothly inserting the chuck into the intermediate cylinder.
