Abstract

A cosmetic container with application body, a liquid cosmetic accommodated in the container being supplied to an application body provided to a tip of the container through an intermediate core, the liquid cosmetic being applied by the application body, in which the application body is disc-shaped, rotatably provided at an outlet of the liquid cosmetic at the tip of the container, and in contact with the intermediate core.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cosmetic container with an application body, a liquid cosmetic accommodated in the cosmetic container being supplied to the application body provided at a tip of the cosmetic container through an intermediate core, the liquid cosmetic being applicable by the application body;
wherein the application body is disc-shaped, and corresponds to a shape of a convex lens,
wherein the application body is rotatably provided at an outlet of the liquid cosmetic at the tip of the container, and in contact with the intermediate core,
wherein the application body includes a central mounting portion for mounting the application body at the tip, an annular outer peripheral portion, an outer peripheral surface, and one or more support ribs extending between the annular outer peripheral portion and the central mounting portion,
wherein the central mounting portion defines a rotation axis of the application body, and
wherein the one or more support ribs has a height greater than the outer peripheral surface and smaller than the annular outer peripheral portion, in the direction of the rotation axis.

2. The cosmetic container with application body according to claim 1 , wherein the disc-shaped application body includes a groove for liquid accumulation in an annular shape along a circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the application body.

3. The cosmetic container with application body according to claim 1 , wherein one or more space portions are formed between the central mounting portion and the annular outer peripheral portion.

4. The cosmetic container with application body according to claim 1 , further comprising an accommodation portion for accommodating the liquid cosmetic, wherein the intermediate core comprises a first intermediate core component and a second intermediate core component, the second intermediate core component being softer than the first intermediate core component and being interposed between the application body and the first intermediate core component, and wherein the first intermediate core component is inserted in the accommodation portion in order to draw the cosmetic liquid from the accommodation portion, and partially extends out of the accommodation portion in order to space apart the second intermediate core component from the accommodation portion.

5. The cosmetic container with application body according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more support ribs are at least partially indented relative to the annular outer peripheral portion, in the direction of the rotation axis.

6. A cosmetic applicator comprising:
an accommodation portion for containing a liquid cosmetic;
an application body provided at a tip of the cosmetic applicator for dispensing the liquid cosmetic; and
an intermediate core extending from the accommodation portion to the application body, the intermediate core having an outlet for supplying the liquid cosmetic to the application body;
wherein the application body is disc-shaped and includes:
an outer peripheral surface,
a central mounting portion configured to rotatably mount the application body at the tip of the cosmetic applicator and defining a rotation axis of the application body,
an annular outer portion operably connected to the central mounting portion and configured to contact the outlet of the intermediate core,
one or more openings are provided between the central mounting portion and the annular outer portion, and
one or more support ribs extending between the central mounting portion and the annular outer portion and forming the one or more openings,
wherein the one or more support ribs has a height greater than height of the outer peripheral surface and smaller than height of the annular outer portion, in the direction of the rotation axis.

7. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 6 , wherein the one or more support ribs are at least partially indented relative to the annular outer portion, in a direction of the rotation axis.

8. A cosmetic applicator comprising:
a container for storing a liquid cosmetic;
an intermediate core provided in the container, for drawing the liquid cosmetic; and
an application body provided at a tip of the container for dispensing the liquid cosmetic, the application body being disc-shaped and comprising:
an outer peripheral surface,
a central mounting portion configured to rotatably mount the application body to the container, and defining a rotation axis of the application body,
an outer portion being annular-shaped and configured to receive the liquid cosmetic from the intermediate core, the outer portion having a thickness in a direction of the rotation axis, and
a support structure spanning between the central mounting portion and the outer portion, the support structure having a thickness in the direction of the rotation axis, wherein the thickness of the support structure is less than the thickness of the outer portion and greater than the outer peripheral surface.

9. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 8 , wherein the support structure is at least in part indented relative to the outer portion in the direction of the rotation axis.

10. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 8 , wherein the support structure comprises one or more support ribs.

11. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 8 , wherein one or more openings are provided between the outer portion and the central mounting portion.

12. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more openings passes completely through the application body.

13. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 8 , wherein the outer portion comprises an outer coating side configured to apply the liquid cosmetic, and an inner side opposite the outer coating side, and wherein the support structure is at least in part indented relative to the inner side of the outer portion, in the direction of the rotation axis.

14. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 13 , wherein the support structure comprises a first end adjacent the central mounting portion and a second end adjacent the outer portion, and wherein the second end is indented relative the inner side of the outer portion, in the direction of the rotation axis.

15. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 13 , wherein the inner side forms an inner circumference of the outer portion, the support structure comprises a plurality of support ribs spaced apart along the inner circumference, and a plurality of openings are provided between the plurality of support ribs.

16. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 8 , wherein the container comprises an accommodation portion for containing the liquid cosmetic, and wherein the intermediate core is partially inserted in the accommodation portion to transfer the cosmetic liquid from the accommodation portion to the outer portion of the application body.

17. A cosmetic applicator according to claim 16 , wherein the container further comprises an elastic body to maintain contact between the intermediate core and the outer portion of the application body.
