Abstract
A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container 1 comprises a cartridge 2 and a container body 3, and the cartridge 2 rotatably connects a base cylinder 20 and a front cylinder 10 having an opening hole 11 through which a stick-shaped cosmetic material A advances and retreats. The stick-shaped cosmetic material A is retained by claws 32 at a front end of a core chuck member 30 inserted and an O-ring 4 is wound to an outer circumference of the base cylinder 20. Due to a feeding mechanism in the cartridge 2, the stick-shaped cosmetic material A retained by the core chuck member 30 advances and retreats along the front cylinder 10 with rotations of the front cylinder 10 and the base cylinder 20. The feeding mechanism of the cartridge 2 inserted in the container body 3 functions when the base cylinder 20 and the container body 3 synchronously rotate by frictional resistance of an inner circumference of the container body and the O-ring 4 wound to the base cylinder 20. Further, when a rotary load greater than frictional resistance of the O-ring 4 is applied at the feeding limit, the cartridge 2 and the container body 3 begin to make relative rotations so that no further overload greater than the rotary load is applied to the feeding mechanism.
Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The present invention relates to a cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container.




2. Description of the Related Art




A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container comprises a cartridge in which a stick-shaped cosmetic material is equipped and a container body which is rotatably connected with the cartridge. The cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container also feeds out the stick-shaped cosmetic material from the cartridge and houses the stick-shaped cosmetic material therein due to relative rotations of the cartridge and the container body.




However, a further rotary load is applied at an uppermost limit and a lowermost limit of the stick-shaped cosmetic material fed out, the rotary load has an influence on a retaining section of the stick-shaped cosmetic material, so that there is a possibility of being a cause of breaking or chipping of the stick-shaped cosmetic material. Particularly in the case that a stick-shaped cosmetic material having a thin diameter is furnished, it is necessary to have a function of protecting against the rotary load applied at the uppermost limit and the lowermost limit.




JP-A2000-135116 has been disclosed in a Japanese patent gazette as a conventional cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container.




In this feeding container, a leaf spring is installed in a container body, and it is possible to synchronously rotate a cylindrical body and the container body by bringing the cylindrical body which constitutes a cartridge in contact with the container body by the leaf spring in the container body.




Therefore, due to the leaf spring in the container body, it is possible to synchronously rotate the container body and the cylindrical body which constitutes the cartridge, and also the cylindrical body can clutch with respect to the leaf spring when a rotary load is applied at the uppermost limit and the lowermost limit. However, operational expenses for installing the leaf spring in the container body become a cause of increasing the costs of the container body together with a unit cost of the leaf spring, whereby the valuable advantage of capable of providing the container body at a cheap price is spoiled by costs of the leaf spring and operational expenses for installing the leaf spring.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




An object of the present invention is to take measures to secure the stick-shaped cosmetic material by providing a function of not influencing a core chuck member which is protective against a further rotary load applied at the uppermost limit and the lowermost limit of a cartridge and to provide the container body at a cheap price.




A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to the present invention comprises:




a cartridge in which a stick-shaped cosmetic material is stored; and




a container body which the cartridge can freely attach to and detach from,




wherein the stick-shaped cosmetic material in the cartridge is caused to advance and retreat due to relative rotations of the container body and the cartridge attached to the container body; the cartridge is constituted by a front cylinder and a base cylinder which is coaxially and rotatably connected with the front cylinder; a feeding mechanism which moves, due to relative rotations of the front cylinder and the base cylinder, in an axial direction a core chuck member for retaining the stick-shaped cosmetic material is provided in the cartridge; an elastic body which comes into contact with an inner circumference of the container body is wound around an outer circumference of the base cylinder at a part where the base cylinder of the cartridge is attached to the container body; and due to frictional resistance of the elastic body, the container body and the base cylinder are synchronously rotated and also the container body and the base cylinder are allowed to make relative clutch rotations at a travelling limit of the core chuck member.

As shown in FIG.


2


(A), a front end section of the base cylinder


20


is inserted into the front cylinder


10


, and the base cylinder


20


and the front cylinder


10


are rotatably connected to each other. The core chuck member


30


is installed in these front cylinder


10


and base cylinder


20


and a stick-shaped cosmetic material retaining section


31


is installed at a front end of the core chuck member


30


. The stopper member


40


is fixed to a rear end of the core chuck member


30


.




Further, the cartridge


2


is constituted by a container body housed section


2




b


which is housed in the container body


3


and a pinching section


2

which rotates relatively to the container body


3


.




In the cartridge


2


according to the first embodiment, the pinching section


2




a


is the front cylinder


10


and the container body housed section


2




b


is the base cylinder


20


.




A further detailed description of the cartridge


2


will be given.




As shown in FIG.


3


(A), the front cylinder


10


has an opening hole


11


at its front end and four pieces of slide grooves


12


are provided in a through hole inside the front cylinder


10


. A spiral section


21


provided at a front section of the base cylinder


20


as shown in FIG.


3


(B) is inserted into a cavity section


13


which is provided at a rear part of the front cylinder


10


and is connected with the through hole. At this time, because a fit-in convex section


23


provided at an upper outer circumference of the base cylinder


20


fits in an annular concave section


14


which is formed at an inner circumference of the cavity section


13


of the front cylinder


10


, the front cylinder


10


and the base cylinder


20


are rotatably connected to each other without coming off.




Further, an O-ring groove


24


located below the fit-in convex section


23


is provided at an outer circumference of the base cylinder


20


. An O-ring


4


is attached to the O-ring groove


24


. Further, at a location below the O-ring groove


24


, there is provided a projection


26


which fits in the container body


3


in such a manner that the projection


26


can freely attach to and detach from the container body


3


.




The core chuck member


30


described above is shown in FIG.


3


(C), and the stick-shaped cosmetic material retaining section


31


provided at a front end of the core chuck member


30


is constituted by four pieces of claws


32


for retaining a stick-shaped cosmetic material A. These claws


32


are installed at positions corresponding to the slide grooves


12


of the front cylinder


10


, respectively. Linear projections


33


are installed at lower parts of the claws


32


, respectively, in such a manner that the linear projections


33


are protruded outward. The linear projections


33


are engaged with the slide grooves


12


of the front cylinder


10


and slide, thereby constituting a rotation regulating mechanism for preventing relative rotations of the core chuck member


30


and the front cylinder


10


.




Further, a stick-shaped axis section


36


which coaxially extends from a lower end of the stick-shaped cosmetic material retaining section


31


is provided at the core chuck member


30


. On a surface of the stick-shaped axis section


36


, projections


34


are arranged at a regular interval on the same lines as the respective lines of the four pieces of claws


32


. And, these projections


34


are spirally engaged with a spiral groove


22


of the spiral section


21


installed at an upper inner circumference of the base cylinder


20


. Thus, the stick-shaped axis section


36


rises or descends under the guidance of the spiral section


21


with the relative rotations of the core chuck member


30


and the base cylinder


20


, thereby constituting a spiral engagement mechanism.




As shown in FIG.


3


(D), an engagement groove


35


is provided at a lower end of the stick-shaped axis section


36


and an engagement section


41


of the stopper member


40


fits in the engagement groove


35


, whereby the stopper member


40


is fixed to the core chuck member


30


.




When the pinching section


2




a


and the container body housed section


2




b


of the cartridge


2


assembled as shown in

FIG. 2

are relatively rotated, due to a feeding mechanism which is constituted by the rotation regulating mechanism between the front cylinder


10


and the core chuck member


30


and the spiral engagement mechanism between the core chuck member


30


and the base cylinder


20


, the core chuck member


30


is fed out in an axial direction and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A begins to project through the opening hole


11


provided at a front end of the front cylinder


10


.




Further, if the pinching section


2




a


and the container body housed section


2




b


are rotated reversely to the above, the core chuck member


30


will retreat and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A will be dragged into the front cylinder


10


.




When the cartridge


2


is inserted into a body cylinder


50


which is the container body


3


shown in FIG.


2


(B), the projection


26


provided at an outer circumference of the base cylinder


20


fits in a fit-in concave section


51


in the body cylinder


50


. At this time, the O-ring


4


comes into contact with an O-ring contact surface


52


provided at an inner circumference of the body cylinder


50


while pressing the O-ring contact surface


52


.




At this time, unless great drawing force to draw the cartridge


2


from the container body


3


is applied, the container body


3


and the cartridge


2


are kept connected to each other. When the pinching section


2




a


of the cartridge


2


and the body cylinder


50


of the container body


3


are relatively rotated in such a state, the base cylinder


20


rotates synchronously with the body cylinder


50


of the container body


3


due to frictional resistance of the O-ring


4


. Therefore, the feeding mechanism composed of the spiral engagement mechanism and the rotation regulating mechanism operates and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A begins to project through the opening hole


11


provided at a front end of the front cylinder


10


of the cartridge


2


.





FIG. 4

shows a state which the cartridge


2


and the container body


3


are rotated up to the feeding uppermost limit. In this state, a front end section


42


of the stopper member


40


which is fixed to a lower end of the core chuck member


30


comes into contact with a spiral section lower end surface


25


of the base cylinder


20


, whereby a further rise of the core chuck member


30


is stopped.




When the cartridge


2


and the container body


3


are further rotated in a feeding direction by applying a rotary load in such a state, the O-ring contact surface


52


of the container body


3


begins to slide with respect to the O-ring


4


which is wound to an outer circumference of the base cylinder


20


and has played a role of synchronously rotating the base cylinder


20


and the container body


3


as a frictional resistance member between the outer circumference of the base cylinder


20


and an inner circumferential surface of the container body


3


. Due to a load exceeding the resistance limitation, the base cylinder


20


which constitutes the cartridge


2


rotates with respect to the container body


3


.




In the present invention, such a sliding rotation is called as a clutch rotation, and due to the clutch rotation, it is possible to prevent the feeding mechanism in the cartridge


2


from being damaged which may occur resulting from an overload. It is also possible to prevent the stick-shaped cosmetic material A from breaking or chipping which may occur due to a load applied to the claws


32


of the stick-shaped cosmetic material retaining section


31


.




In the first embodiment, the O-ring


4


is wound to the base cylinder


20


and the feeding operation and the clutch rotation of the cartridge


2


are carried out by utilizing the frictional force. However, the first embodiment is not restricted to the O-ring


4


. It will be sufficient if an elastic body, such as elastomer or silicone rubber, which generates prescribed frictional resistance between the base cylinder


20


of the cartridge


2


and an inner circumference of the container body


3


is used.




When the pinching section


2




a


of the cartridge


2


and the container body


3


are rotated in a direction of withdrawal oppositely to the above, the clutch rotations are stopped and the stick-shaped cosmetic material A is drawn into the cartridge


2


due to the mechanisms including elastic friction of the O-ring


4


. Further, when a rotary load is further applied at the feeding lowermost limit, the base cylinder


20


begins to make a clutch rotation with respect to the container body


3


for the same reason as the above.




Incidentally, by installing the O-ring


4


which is an elastic body on the cartridge side, it is possible to provide the container body


3


at a low price.





FIGS. 5 through 7

show a second embodiment of the present invention in which a cartridge


102


is constituted by the same mechanism as that of the cartridge


2


according to the first embodiment.




In the second embodiment, it is possible to install contact ribs


129


at a rear part of a base cylinder


120


.




And, as it is clearly shown in FIG.


5


(B), a roulette section


153


which comes into contact with the contact ribs


129


of the base cylinder


120


is formed at an inner circumference of a body cylinder


150


which is a container body


103


to house the cartridge


102


.




Further, because the container body


103


is able to also house a cartridge which will be described later and has completely different constitution, a roulette boss section


153


A is installed at a bottom part of the container body


103


in a standing position.




A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container


101


according to the second embodiment differs from the cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container


1


according to the first embodiment in the following points.




The cartridge


2


according to the first embodiment is constituted such that the front cylinder


10


and the base cylinder


20


are rotatably connected as shown in FIG.


2


(A) and the base cylinder


20


is entirely housed in the container body


3


of FIG.


2


(B).




In this case, it is only natural that there is a gap between the front cylinder


10


and the base cylinder


20


of the cartridge


2


because of the rotations. Thus, the front cylinder


10


and the base cylinder


20


are slightly inclined or become unsteady.




Further, in the rotation shown in

FIG. 4

, the base cylinder


20


and the container body


3


make relative rotations via the O-ring


4


at the time of the clutch rotation caused by a rotary load which exceeds the feeding uppermost limit. However, because no special noises arise and no great rotary loads are applied at this time, it is not so easy for a user to know that the core chuck member


30


has already reached the uppermost limit or the lowermost limit.




Thus, in the cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container, another O-ring


4




a


in addition to the O-ring


4


is wound to the base cylinder


120


as shown in FIG.


6


.




As shown in FIG.


5


(A), the O-ring


4




a


is used as a cartridge having slide resistance between a front cylinder


110


and the base cylinder


120


. The O-ring


4




a


minimizes the unsteadiness of the front cylinder


110


and the base cylinder


120


and prevents a core chuck member


130


from being pushed back in a direction of retreat, thereby creating a classy atmosphere in the cartridge.




The O-ring


4


to be wound to a lower part of the base cylinder


120


is used as means for synchronously rotating the base cylinder


120


and the container body


103


by frictional resistance of the O-ring


4


when the cartridge


102


fits in the container body


103


. As a matter of course, it is set such that the frictional resistance of the O-ring


4


is stronger than slide resistance of the O-ring


4




a.


Otherwise, the base cylinder


120


does not rotate with respect to the front cylinder


110


, and the base cylinder


120


and the container body


103


relatively rotate. In other words, racing brings about and the feeding mechanism of the cartridge does not function.




Next, the contact ribs


129


are installed at the base cylinder


120


of the cartridge


102


as described above and the roulette section


153


which comes into contact with the contact ribs


129


are installed in the container body


103


.




The container body


103


and the cartridge


102


which fits in the container body


103


synchronously rotate due to the frictional resistance of the O-ring


4


. When the cartridge


102


and the container body


103


begin to relatively rotate at the feeding uppermost limit due to a rotary load, the roulette section


153


of the container body


103


and the contact ribs


129


relatively rotate, thereby generating a clutch noise. Therefore, a user can confirm that the cartridge


102


has already been at the feeding uppermost limit. The clutch noise does not increase due to the O-ring


4


which comes into contact with the container body


103


and the user can feel the clutch noise by vibrations.




Further, the roulette section


153


of the container body


103


may be provided with several engagement ribs as an engagement contact section.




Incidentally, it is set such that contact friction of the roulette section


153


and the contact ribs


129


is smaller than frictional resistance of the O-ring


4


. Thus, it is arranged such that an overload does not transfer from the container body


103


to the base cylinder


120


at the time of clutch rotation.




In the cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container


101


according to the second embodiment, the O-ring


4




a,


namely, a first elastic body is wound to the base cylinder


120


of the cartridge


102


. By using the first elastic body as a cartridge having slide resistance between the first elastic body and the front cylinder


110


, a stick-shaped cosmetic material contained in the core chuck member


130


is prevented from projecting or breaking which may occur due to transportation or vibrations. Also, the core chuck member


130


is prevented from being pushed back in a direction of retreat and the unsteadiness of the front cylinder


110


and the base cylinder


120


is minimized. Thus, the first elastic body is such an important O-ring. Further, a second elastic body which is the O-ring


4


to be provided between the container body


103


and the base cylinder


120


of the cartridge


102


has frictional resistance between the container body


103


and the base cylinder


120


when the base cylinder


120


fits in the container body


103


, and the second elastic body is used as means for synchronously rotating the container body


103


and the base cylinder


120


. Thus, it is designed such that frictional resistance of the second elastic body is greater than slide resistance of the first elastic body.





FIG. 8

shows a third embodiment.




In the third embodiment, mainly the constitution of a cartridge


202


is different.




A cosmetic material retaining section


231


of a core chuck member


230


retains a stick-shaped cosmetic material B using a claw


232


and also a convex section


233


which is situated at the same line as that of the claw


232


is engaged with a slide groove


212


of a front cylinder


210


of the cartridge


202


, whereby a rotation regulating mechanism is constituted.




A cylinder axis section


236


in a cylindrical shape is installed below the cosmetic material retaining section


231


of the core chuck member


230


and a spiral section


239


is formed at an inner circumference of the cylinder axis section


236


.




A base cylinder


220


is inserted into a lower part of the front cylinder


210


and is rotatably connected with the front cylinder


210


. Also, the O-ring


4


is wound to an outer diameter of a cylinder section which is exposed below the front cylinder


210


.




And a stick-shaped section


238


is coaxially installed at an upper part of the base cylinder


220


in a standing position, and a projection


228


to be engaged with the spiral section


239


of the cylinder axis section


236


of the core chuck member


230


is arranged at a front end of the stick-shaped section


238


, whereby a spiral engagement mechanism is constituted.




When the base cylinder


220


and the front cylinder


210


are rotated, the convex section


233


of the core chuck member


230


to be engaged with the slide groove


212


of the front cylinder


210


constitutes a rotation regulating mechanism. A spiral engagement mechanism is constituted by spiral engagement of the spiral section


239


of the core chuck member


230


and the projection


228


of the stick-shaped section


238


of the base cylinder


220


. The core chuck member


230


begins to move in an axial direction along the front cylinder


210


and the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is caused to project through a front end opening hole


211


.




Although the cartridge


202


can be installed at the container body


103


shown in FIG.


5


(B) at which the cartridges


2


and


102


are installed, the cartridge


202


has constitution completely different from that of the cartridge shown in FIG.


2


(A).




More specifically, when the cartridge


202


is inserted into the container body


103


, by fitting in a fit-in concave section


151


a projection


216


which is arranged at a container body fit-in section of the front cylinder


210


, the cartridge


202


is rotatably connected with the container body


103


.




Further, the O-ring


4


wound to the base cylinder


220


of the cartridge


202


comes into contact with an O-ring contact surface


152




a


which is provided below the roulette section


153


of the container body


103


, whereby the base cylinder


220


and the container body


103


synchronously rotate.




Further, a roulette section


153


A which is installed at a bottom section of the container body


103


in a standing position comes into contact with a contact rib


229


which is formed at an inner circumference of a cavity section provided at a bottom section of the base cylinder


220


. Thus, at the time of clutch rotation, in other word, when the container body


103


and the cartridge relatively rotate, a clutch noise similar to that of the second embodiment is generated, thereby clearly notifying a user of the uppermost limit or the lowermost limit of the core chuck member


230


.




Further, similarly to the cartridge in FIG.


5


(A), in the cartridge


202


, the O-ring


4




a


is provided between the front cylinder


210


and the base cylinder


220


, whereby the core chuck member


230


is prevented from being pushed back in a direction of retreat and the stick-shaped cosmetic material B is prevented from projecting which may occur due to the transportation and the vibrations.




The cartridge


202


retains therein the stick-shaped cosmetic material B having a thick core material. In other words, the cartridge has constitution suitable for containing a stick-shaped cosmetic material having a thick core material.




A cartridge according to the present invention does not restrict its feeding mechanism as long as the cartridge is such that a front cylinder and a base cylinder are rotatably connected, a core chuck member having a cosmetic material retaining section for retaining a stick-shaped cosmetic material is inserted therein, a feeding mechanism operates due to rotations of the front cylinder and the base cylinder, and the stick-shaped cosmetic material inserted advances and retreats along the front cylinder. An elastic body is wound to an outer circumference of a base cylinder portion of the cartridge to be housed in a container body, by synchronously rotating the base cylinder and the container body due to frictional resistance which arises between an inner circumference of the container body and the base cylinder, the feeding mechanism in the cartridge operates, the stick-shaped cosmetic material is caused to advance and retreat, and also due to a rotary load at the feeding uppermost limit or the feeding lowermost limit, the base cylinder and the container body make clutch rotations so as to protect the feeding mechanism in the cartridge and the stick-shaped cosmetic material. Further, it is also possible to generate a clutch noise at the time of the clutch rotation and notify a user of the fact.




In the present invention, the length of the base cylinder to be inserted in the container body may be equivalent to a total length or a partial length of a container body insertion section. Further, generation of a clutch noise due to contact of the base cylinder and the container body at the time of the clutch rotation may bring about at an outer circumference of the base cylinder and an inner circumference of the container body or an inner circumference of the base cylinder and an outer circumference of a spline section which is installed at a bottom section of the container body in a standing position.




As described above, the present invention provides a cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container in which a single container body can be applied to cartridges having different core diameters and constitution and which can provide the container body at a low price and has a function of protecting a mechanism in the cartridge and a core material.



Claims
  • 1. A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container comprising:a cartridge having a stick-shaped cosmetic material therein; and a container body which the cartridge can freely be attached to and detached from, wherein the stick-shaped cosmetic material in the cartridge is caused to advance and retreat due to relative rotations of the container body and the cartridge attached to the container body; the cartridge is constituted by a front cylinder and a base cylinder which is coaxially and rotatably connected with the front cylinder; a feeding mechanism which moves in an axial direction a core chuck member for retaining the stick-shaped cosmetic material by relative rotations of the front cylinder and the base cylinder is provided in the cartridge; an elastic body which comes into contact with an inner circumference of the container body is wound around an outer circumference of the base cylinder at a part where the base cylinder of the cartridge is attached to the container body; and due to frictional resistance of the elastic body, the container body and the base cylinder are synchronously rotated and also the container body and the base cylinder are allowed to make relative clutch rotations at a travelling limit of the core chuck member.
  • 2. A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1, wherein the feeding mechanism comprising:a mutual rotation regulating mechanism constituted between the front cylinder and the core chuck member; and a spiral engagement mechanism constituted between the base cylinder and the core chuck member.
  • 3. A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1, wherein a first elastic body which comes into contact with an inner circumference of the front cylinder is wound to an outer circumference of a front part of the base cylinder of the cartridge and it is set such that a second elastic body, which is wound to the base cylinder and is to be in contact with an inner circumference of the container body, comes into contact with the inner circumference of the container body with frictional resistance greater than slide resistance of the first elastic body.
  • 4. A cartridge type stick-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1, wherein a contact rib is installed at the base cylinder, a roulette section which comes into contact with the contact rib is formed in the container body, and at the time of the clutch rotations, the contact rib and the roulette section generate a clutch noise with relative rotations.
