A feeding container includes a container body capable of accommodating contents, and a nozzle provided in an upper portion of the container body, and the contents accommodated in the container body is discharged from the nozzle. The nozzle extends in a horizontal direction, and pushes out the contents in the horizontal direction via a discharge hole opening in the horizontal direction, and a projection which projects in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the nozzle is provided on an extending side surface of the nozzle.

Feeding container, discharge device, and customized discharge system

A feed drive mechanism includes multiple feed containers configured to feed contents with rotation of rotatable feed tubes provided in lower portions of container tubes containing the contents, multiple gears connected to the feed tubes of the feed containers, and a single drive gear configured to mesh with the gears. The drive gear is configured to selectively mesh with and rotate the gears to cause the feed containers to feed the contents with timing that differs between the feed containers.

A massaging device includes a base part, vibrators configured to be brought into contact with target parts of a user and to massage the target parts with vibration, and springs each including a first end fixed to the base part and a second end attached to the corresponding one of the vibrators. The spring constants of the springs are set based on skin stress of the target parts.

Massaging device

A container for a viscous cosmetic, in which upper and lower sections respectively positioned above and below an inner tray are air-tightly sealed off from each other so as to reduce leakage of a viscous cosmetic received in a receiving body from the upper section to the lower section.

Container for viscous cosmetic

A propelling container with an inner cylinder, a dispenser head, an inner plate, an annular sealing member, a rotator and a lid body. The rotator has a bottom wall part connected to a lower end of the connecting rod, and a circumferential wall part extending from a periphery of the bottom wall part along an outer face of the inner cylinder and surrounding the inner cylinder, thereby rotatably held by the inner cylinder. The rotator is provided with an elastic body repeatedly contacted with and moved away from a projection of the inner cylinder upon rotation of the rotator to generate a click feeling. A stopper is arranged on a base part of the screw rod and associated with a lower part of the inner plate when the inner plate is positioned at the lowest end of the content filling space, so that rotation of the rotator is prevented.

Propelling container

A stick cosmetic advancing container has a stick type cosmetic, an interior plate, a tubular sleeve having an application opening at its tip portion from which the stick type cosmetic is advanced, and a moving mechanism for moving the interior plate within the sleeve. A user holds the stick cosmetic advancing container to apply the stick type cosmetic. The sleeve is arranged to have a uniform internal cross-sectional shape throughout the moving range of the stick type cosmetic. Further, the surface of the application opening is inclined at an angle of &#x3b8;with respect to the central axis A of the sleeve. Also, an outer side wall thickness Wof an outer side wall portionis arranged to be less than an inner side wall thickness Wof an inner side wall portion

Stick cosmetic advancing container

A viscous cosmetic product that realizes smooth application thereof to application target areas and that prevents liquid dripping thereof onto a surface of a viscous cosmetic substance container and is free from stickiness at use thereof, enabling clean use thereof. A viscous cosmetic substance containing 1.0 to 10.0 wt % of silicic anhydride is accommodated in a tubular accommodation part. A front edge wall of the accommodation part is furnished with one or more distribution ports for the viscous cosmetic substance, and an application face is provided outside the front edge wall. Furthermore, the accommodation part thereinside is fitted with an inner tray that enables pressing the viscous cosmetic substance accommodated in the accommodation part so as to enable the viscous cosmetic substance to be pushed outward through the distribution ports.

Viscous cosmetic

The outer face of a distal end part having a discharge openingat the distal end of an applicatoris a sloped face, so that skin or another surface to be coated can be coated favorably, and when a moving bodyadvances as far as it can, an elastic bodyprovided to the distal end of the moving bodyhits a sloped facethat is the inner face of the distal end part having the discharge openingat the distal end of the applicator, and elastically deforms along said sloped face, and an application material L that could not be pushed out with a conventional piston and would remain in a substantially hoof-shaped (sloped cylindrical) space (a space including the sloped facewithin the applicator distal end) can be completely pushed out by the elastic body, leaving almost none behind, so that all of it can be consumed.
