Abstract

A rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container includes a tubular-shaped container with a front part and a rear part, a movable body with a male thread at an outer peripheral part, and supporting a rod-shaped cosmetic material at a distal end, and a female threaded member with a female thread at an inner peripheral part. First and second elastic bodies each accumulate resilient force and have different spring constants. The male thread and the female thread constitute a threaded engagement mechanism that, by relative rotation between the front part and the rear part, advances and retracts the movable body and causes the rod-shaped cosmetic material to appear and disappear from an opening of the container. The first elastic body is sandwiched between the rear part and the female threaded member and the second elastic body is sandwiched between the front part and the female threaded member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container, comprising:
a tubular-shaped container with a front container part and a rear container part, the front container part being mounted rotatable with respect to the rear container part around an axis line and immovable in an axial direction;
a movable body with a male thread at an outer peripheral part, the movable body being unrotatable around the axis line and movable in the axial direction with respect to the front container part, the movable body supporting a rod-shaped cosmetic material at a distal end;
a female thread part with a female thread at an inner peripheral part, the female thread part being unrotatable with respect to the rear container part around the axis line, the female thread being screwed with the male thread;
a first elastic body configured to accumulate resilient force against the rear container part and reduce rearward movement of the female thread part in the axial direction; and
a second elastic body configured to accumulate resilient force against the front container part and reduce frontward movement of the female thread part in the axial direction,
wherein the male thread and the female thread constitute a thread engagement part, the thread engagement part acts by relative rotation of the front container part and the rear container part, the relative rotation advancing and retreating the movable body causes the rod-shaped cosmetic material to appear and disappear from an opening at a distal end of a container, the female thread part is movable in the axial direction,
spring constants of the first and second elastic bodies are different,
the first elastic body is sandwiched between the rear container part and the female thread part and the second elastic body is sandwiched between the front container part and the female thread part, so that the female thread part is disposed in a predetermined position.

2. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1 , wherein displacement amounts of the first and second elastic bodies are different from one another when the female thread part is disposed in the predetermined position.

3. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1 , wherein the spring constant of the first elastic body is larger than the spring constant of the second elastic body.

4. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1 , wherein any one of the first elastic body or the second elastic body is an elastic body having a slit at a circumference surface and another elastic body is a coil spring.

5. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are coil springs.

6. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 1 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are elastic bodies each having a slit at a circumference surface.

7. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 2 , wherein the spring constant of the first elastic body is larger than the spring constant of the second elastic body.

8. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 2 , wherein any one of the first elastic body or the second elastic body is an elastic body having a slit at a circumference surface and another elastic body is a coil spring.

9. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 3 , wherein any one of the first elastic body or the second elastic body is an elastic body having a slit at a circumference surface and another elastic body is a coil spring.

10. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 2 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are coil springs.

11. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 3 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are coil springs.

12. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 2 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are elastic bodies each having a slit at a circumference surface.

13. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 3 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are elastic bodies each having a slit at a circumference surface.

14. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 7 , wherein any one of the first elastic body or the second elastic body is an elastic body having a slit at a circumference surface and another elastic body is a coil spring.

15. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 7 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are coil springs.

16. The rod-shaped cosmetic material feeding container according to claim 7 , wherein the first elastic body and the second elastic body are elastic bodies each having a slit at a circumference surface.
