Abstract

A liquid applying container includes a container main body housing an impregnated body impregnated with a liquid, an applying body having an applying portion for applying liquid, and an applying body holder into which the applying body is inserted and which supports the applying body. The applying body holder includes one or more supporting portions in a rear portion of the applying body holder that are disposed so as to be along a direction of insertion of the applying body and supporting the rear portion of the applying body so as to sandwich or wrap the rear portion of the applying body, the one or more supporting portions having an opening formed at a rear end of the one or more supporting portions, with the one or more supporting portions advancing into the impregnated body or the impregnated body advancing into the one or more supporting portions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A liquid applying container comprising:
a container main body housing an impregnated body impregnated with a liquid;
an applying body having an applying portion for applying the liquid, and exhibiting capillarity that takes in the liquid from the impregnated body and guides the liquid to the applying portion; and
an applying body holder into which the applying body is inserted and which supports the applying body,
the applying body including a tip portion in which the applying portion is formed and which projects outward from the container main body and a rear portion that takes in the liquid from the impregnated body, wherein
the applying body is formed in a shape of a plate, and
the applying body holder includes one or a plurality of supporting portions in a rear portion of the applying body holder, the one or a plurality of supporting portions being disposed so as to be along a direction of insertion of the applying body and supporting the rear portion of the applying body so as to sandwich or wrap the rear portion of the applying body, the one or a plurality of supporting portions having an opening formed at a rear end of the one or a plurality of supporting portions, and the one or a plurality of supporting portions advancing into the impregnated body or the impregnated body advancing into the one or a plurality of supporting portions.

2. The liquid applying container according to claim 1 , wherein the applying body is formed of a fibrous material.

3. The liquid applying container according to claim 1 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions advance into the impregnated body, the impregnated body is an inner cotton.

4. The liquid applying container according to claim 3 , wherein the applying body projects rearward from the opening at the rear end of the applying body holder.

5. The liquid applying container according to claim 3 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions support the rear portion of the applying body so as to wrap the rear portion of the applying body, the one or a plurality of supporting portions have a liquid advancing slit in side surfaces of the one or a plurality of supporting portions, the liquid advancing slit communicating with the opening at the rear end and extending frontward.

6. The liquid applying container according to claim 4 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions support the rear portion of the applying body so as to wrap the rear portion of the applying body, the one or a plurality of supporting portions have a liquid advancing slit in side surfaces of the one or a plurality of supporting portions, the liquid advancing slit communicating with the opening at the rear end and extending frontward.

7. The liquid applying container according to claim 1 , wherein when the impregnated body advances into the one or a plurality of supporting portions, the impregnated body is a relay core.

8. The liquid applying container according to claim 7 , wherein the relay core has a projection at a front end of the relay core, and a rear end surface of the applying body has a depression into which the projection of the relay core advances.

9. The liquid applying container according to claim 3 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions support the rear portion of the applying body so as to sandwich the rear portion of the applying body, a slit communicating with the opening at the rear end and extending frontward is provided between the one or a plurality of supporting portions, and the applying body holder has a stopper against which the applying body passing the slit from a rear side to a front side is butted.

10. The liquid applying container according to claim 4 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions support the rear portion of the applying body so as to sandwich the rear portion of the applying body, a slit communicating with the opening at the rear end and extending frontward is provided between the one or a plurality of supporting portions, and the applying body holder has a stopper against which the applying body passing the slit from a rear side to a front side is butted.

11. The liquid applying container according to claim 7 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions support the rear portion of the applying body so as to sandwich the rear portion of the applying body, a slit communicating with the opening at the rear end and extending frontward is provided between the one or a plurality of supporting portions, and the applying body holder has a stopper against which the applying body passing the slit from a rear side to a front side is butted.

12. The liquid applying container according to claim 8 , wherein when the one or a plurality of supporting portions support the rear portion of the applying body so as to sandwich the rear portion of the applying body, a slit communicating with the opening at the rear end and extending frontward is provided between the one or a plurality of supporting portions, and the applying body holder has a stopper against which the applying body passing the slit from a rear side to a front side is butted.

13. The liquid applying container according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid is an eyeliner cosmetic material.
