BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container with an applicator provided with an applicator on a cap.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Cosmetic containers for storing nail polish,
Some office containers and the like that store correction fluid and the like include a cap having an applicator attached thereto. In these containers with an applicator, the top surface of the mouth of the container body or the top surface 4 of the inner plug 3 installed at the mouth 2 of the container body 1 as in the first conventional example shown in FIG. The content liquid 6 (such as a nail polish or a correction liquid) attached to the applicator 5 is scraped off, and the amount of the content 6 attached to the applicator 5 is adjusted and used. Reference numeral 7 is a cap.

However, when using this container with an applicator,
When the cap 7 is attached, the contents 6 attached to the top surface of the mouth portion 2 of the container body 1 or the top surface 4 of the inner plug 3 may be pushed out to the screw portion 8 of the mouth portion 2. The content liquid 6 extruded into the screw portion 8 is then dried and solidified, and the cap 7 may not be able to be removed. Further, the contents 6 attached to the mouth portion 2 and the top surface 4 of the inner plug 3 are dried while the cap 7 is attached, and the dried matter enters the container body 1 at the next use, and becomes the contents 6. It may be mixed.

Therefore, a container 10 with an applicator described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 61-59553 (FIG. 10; second conventional example),
The container with an applicator described in JP-A-62-8826 (third conventional example) or the container 11 with an applicator described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-5845.
(FIG. 11; fourth conventional example) and the like have been proposed.

[0005] The container with an applicator 10 of the second conventional example is formed by forming a horizontally extending liquid drain portion 13 on an inner stopper 12. In the container with an applicator of the third conventional example, a liquid drainage cylinder is installed on the upper part of the container body 1 via a spring. Furthermore, the container 11 with an applicator of the fourth prior art is
The inside stopper 14 is provided with a liquid draining section 15 inclined inward and downward, and the applicator 5 is slid into contact with the liquid drainer 15 to adjust the amount of the content liquid 6 attached to the applicator 5. Things.

[0006]

However, in the container with an applicator 10 of the second conventional example shown in FIG. 10, the liquid drain 13 of the inner plug 12 is provided horizontally, so that the applicator 5 is drained. When the amount of the content liquid 6 is adjusted by sliding on the part 13, the content liquid 6 attached to the liquid draining part 13 accumulates on the liquid draining part 13 and is dried. As described above, the dried product may fall from the liquid draining unit 13 into the container body 1 or adhere to the applicator 5 at the next use, and the finish of the application surface may not be clean.

Further, in the container with a coating tool of the third conventional example, the content liquid 6 adheres to the spring and dries, and like the container 10 with the coating tool, the dried product falls into the content liquid 6. Adhere to the applicator 5.

Further, in the container 11 with an applicator of the fourth conventional example shown in FIG. 11, although the liquid drain portion 15 of the inner plug 14 is provided obliquely downward, the general use of the applicator 5 is as follows. Since the applicator 5 is operated in parallel to the top surface 4 of the inner plug 14, the operation causes the content liquid 6 attached to the applicator 5 to adhere to the top surface 4 of the inner stopper 14. Therefore, also in the container 11 with an applicator, there is a risk that the content liquid 6 dries on the top surface 4 of the inner plug 14 and the dried product falls into the container body 1.

For example, as shown in a container 10 with an applicator of the second conventional example (FIG. 10), the inner plug 12 generally has a lower inner hole formed to have a smaller diameter than an upper inner hole. Is configured so that the contents liquid 6 does not leak even if the user falls down. However, with such a configuration, when the container 10 is used many times, and the application tool 5 is pulled out and inserted many times into the inner stopper 12, the content liquid 6 adhered to the application tool 5 is removed as shown in FIG. B)
As shown by the two-dot chain line,
Eventually, there is a possibility that the liquid will overflow out of the container body 1.

[0010] The present invention is intended to provide or mixed into the container body as a dry product was liquid content dried in the container body, the coating with tool container cap can be prevented from being not removed.

[0011]

[0012]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a container body capable of containing a content liquid and having a mouth, an inner plug attached to the mouth, and an applicator, and is provided outside the mouth. A container with an applicator having a cap that is detachably attached, wherein the inner plug extends parallel to a top surface of a mouth portion of the container main body, and a top surface seal that allows the cap to come into contact with the container body in a close contact state. And a liquid-out projection protruding toward the side opposite to the container body inside the cap contacting contact surface of the top surface seal portion.

[0013]

[0014]

According to the coating with tool container according to the present invention, when using the applicator to remove the cap from the mouth portion of the container body, it is moved in parallel to the sprayer on the top surface of the inner plug, the coating The tool is slid into contact with the drainage protrusion of the inner plug to adjust the amount of the liquid in the container body attached to the applicator. At this time, since the liquid-out projection is protruded from the inner surface of the ceiling seal portion of the inner plug toward the side opposite to the container body, when the applicator is slid into contact with the liquid-out projection, the applicator is in the top position. The liquid content adhering to the liquid drainage projections does not reach the surface seal portion, but flows down into the container body. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the content liquid from drying while being attached to the inner plug, and it is possible to prevent the dried product from dropping into the container body.

Further, the excess content liquid that has adhered to the applicator and has been scraped off by the liquid-out projection does not adhere to the top surface sealing portion of the inner plug, and therefore does not flow out of the mouth of the container body. . Therefore, it is possible to prevent a phenomenon in which the cap attached to the outside of the mouth cannot be removed due to solidification of the content liquid.
