Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator suitably used for applying lip cosmetics such as lipstick and lip gloss to the lips, and a cosmetic applicator provided with the same.

  As a cosmetic applicator for applying to lips such as lipstick and lip gloss, a structure having an application portion at the tip of a support shaft is generally used. The application part is roughly divided into a type having flocking (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “flock type”) and a type having no flocking (spatula). The flock-type applicator is used to hold a sufficient amount of cosmetics. By increasing the amount of cosmetics held, the area on which cosmetics can be applied by a single operation is increased. , Can reduce the application operation. Reducing the application operation is advantageous in that the cosmetic can be uniformly applied while preventing the application of fading.

  Apart from the above technique, a cosmetic applicator having an application part that is wider than a support shaft and formed in a flat shape is known as a shape of a flock-type application part (see Patent Documents 1 to 3). In these documents, when the application portion is viewed from the front, the application portion has a shape that gradually becomes narrower from the widest width portion toward the tip portion, or is inclined obliquely with respect to the support shaft. It is described that it is provided. As a result, the cosmetic applicators described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are improved in application feel, finish and usability. For example, if the thickness gradually decreases toward the tip of the application part, there is an advantage that the cosmetic can be applied finely, so it is easy to apply the cosmetic along the lip shape and to the corner of the lip It becomes.

The material of the core 28 is not particularly limited, but is preferably made of a thermoplastic plastic having a Shore A hardness of 40 degrees or more, and is preferably made of a thermoplastic plastic having a Shore D hardness of 70 degrees or less. The hardness of the core body 28 is measured by the method described in JIS-K6253.
The core 28 is made of thermoplastic polyester / ester elastomer, thermoplastic polyether / ester elastomer, acrylonitrile, copolymer of butadiene and styrene (ABS), polyoxymethylene (POM) or polybutyl terephthalate (PBT). Is preferred. Polyoxymethylene is a polymer having oxymethylene (—CH ₂ O—) in the unit structure, and may be a homopolymer obtained by polymerizing only formaldehyde or a copolymer containing oxyethylene units.
When the core body 28 is made of the above-described material, for example, even when the liquid cosmetic 4 is applied while being pressed against the lips, the core body 28 is less likely to be deformed and the uniformity of application by the application unit 21 is improved.
In the present embodiment, the core body 28 and the support shaft 22 are formed separately, but the core body 28 and the support shaft 22 may be formed integrally. Even in the case where the core body 28 and the support shaft 22 are integrally formed, it is preferable that the core body 28 and the support shaft 22 are made of a thermoplastic plastic having a Shore A hardness of 40 degrees or more, and a thermoplastic resin having a Shore D hardness of 70 degrees or less. It is preferable to become. Even when the core body 28 and the support shaft 22 are integrally formed, thermoplastic polyester / ester elastomer, thermoplastic polyether / ester elastomer, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene copolymer (ABS), polyoxymethylene (POM) ) Or polybutyl terephthalate (PBT) is preferably used as a constituent resin. Polyoxymethylene is a polymer having oxymethylene (—CH ₂ O—) in the unit structure, and may be a homopolymer obtained by polymerizing only formaldehyde or a copolymer containing oxyethylene units. If the application portion 21 and the support shaft 22 are integrally formed of the above-described material, for example, even when the liquid cosmetic 4 is applied while being pressed against the lips, the support shaft 22 and the core body 28 are deformed irregularly. The uniformity of application by the application unit 21 is improved.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the flocks 29 cover the surface of the cone part 27 of the core body 28. The surface of the cone part 27 of the core body 28 is covered with the flocks 29, so that the liquid cosmetic 4 accommodated in the container 3 easily adheres uniformly to the surface of the cone part 27.
The method for providing the flocks 29 on the surface of the cone 27 is not particularly limited. For example, various flocking processing methods such as electrostatic flocking, spray flocking, and spray flocking can be used. In the invention, it is preferable to use it for electrostatic flocking in which the flocks 29 can be flocked at a higher density and substantially perpendicularly from the core.
Further, the length of the flocks 29 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1 mm or more, preferably 2.5 mm or less, more preferably 2 mm or less, and preferably 0.5 to 2 0.5 mm, and more preferably 1-2 mm. In addition, the flocks 29 are preferably erected substantially vertically from the core body 28. By setting the length of the flock 29 to 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1 mm or more, the application part 21 becomes excellent in the retainability of the liquid cosmetic 4, and the liquid cosmetic can be favorably retained. Become. On the other hand, by setting the length of the flocks 29 to 2.5 mm or less, preferably 2 mm or less, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the retainability of the liquid cosmetic 4 due to the fact that flocking tends to collapse, and the flocks 29 fall down. Since it is not necessary to thicken the flocked hair 29 in order to prevent it from becoming easy, the problem of irritation to the skin does not occur.
From the viewpoint of retention of liquid cosmetics and low irritation to the skin, the flocked hair 29 preferably has a diameter of about 1.7 to 3.3 dtex, and the material for forming the flocked hair 29 is a synthetic resin. Is preferred. Examples of the constituent resin of the flocks 29 include polyamides such as nylon, polyester resins such as PET and PBT, cellulose fibers such as rayon, silk, and cotton, acrylic fibers, urethane fibers, or fibers in which they are mixed. . Among these, polyamide such as nylon is preferable.

  FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B show an example of the usage state of the cosmetic applicator 1 of the present embodiment. When the cosmetic applicator 2 is extracted from the container 3, an excessive amount of the liquid cosmetic 4 attached to the application unit 21 is squeezed off by the squeezing valve 34, and an appropriate amount of the liquid cosmetic 4 is provided in the cone portion of the application unit 21. 27 is held on the surface. In the present embodiment, the diameter D1 of the insertion portion 33 is formed to be equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the cone portion 27 of the application portion 21 and equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the support shaft body 25 of the support shaft 22, and the cone portion 27 is supported. Since it is located on the same axis as the shaft 22, the liquid cosmetic 4 attached to the support shaft main body 25 is removed by the ironing valve 34, but the liquid cosmetic 4 attached to the cone 27 is only in an excessive amount. It is rubbed down. That is, in this embodiment, even after passing through the squeezing valve 34, the state in which the liquid cosmetic 4 is held on the entire surface of the cone portion 27 of the application portion 21 can be maintained.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the liquid cosmetic 4 held on the entire surface of the cone part 27 of the application part 21 is the liquid cosmetic 4 held at the tip part 27b of the cone part 27. By being used, it becomes easy to apply a cosmetic to the edge of the lips and the corners of the lips along the shape of the lips. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the liquid cosmetic 4 held on the outer peripheral surface of the cone part 27 is used, so that the cone part 27 is moved along the lips while rotating. The liquid cosmetic 4 can be applied, and all the liquid cosmetics 4 held by the outer peripheral surface of the cone portion 27 can be used effectively.

  As described above, according to the cosmetic applicator 1 and the cosmetic applicator 2 of the present embodiment, the applicator portion 21 has the conical portion 27 formed in a conical shape, and therefore adheres to the conical portion 27. All liquid cosmetics can be used. For example, in the case where the application part is formed in a flat shape, the liquid cosmetic held only on the first surface is applied, but the application part 21 according to the present embodiment is an outer periphery of the cone part 27. Liquid cosmetics held on the entire surface can be used. Therefore, for example, the holding area capable of holding the liquid cosmetic 4 can be increased as compared with the case where the application part is formed in a flat shape. Thereby, the area which can apply cosmetics by one operation can be enlarged, and operation of application can be reduced. As a result, fading can be prevented and the cosmetic can be applied uniformly.

  Moreover, since the application part 21 of this embodiment has the cone part 27 formed in cone shape, as shown to Fig.5 (a), the front-end | tip part 27b of the tapered cone part 27 is shown, for example. By using this, it becomes easy to apply a border along the shape of the lips and to apply cosmetics to the corners of the lips. Further, since the tapered cone part 27 is provided, it is possible to finish a makeup that is blurred over the entire lips without drawing the outline of the lips. Thus, by forming the application part 21 in a conical shape, the liquid cosmetic can be finely applied to the lips, and the usability of the cosmetic applicator 2 and the cosmetic applicator 1 including the same is improved. .

  Furthermore, since the application part 21 of this embodiment has the cone part 27 formed in cone shape, as shown in FIG.5 (b), liquid cosmetics are used using the outer peripheral surface of the cone part 27, for example. Can be applied to the lips. For example, the cone part 27 can be easily moved along the lips while rotating, and almost all of the liquid cosmetic 4 held by the cone part 27 can be applied to the lips. Thereby, for example, it is suppressed that liquid cosmetic 4 which application part 21 holds is returned in container 3, and liquid cosmetic 4 can be used hygienically.

  Moreover, since the cone part of the application part 21 of this embodiment is formed in cone shape, it is hard to deform | transform. Therefore, the uniformity of application by the application unit 21 can be improved.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the preferable embodiment, this invention is not restrict | limited to the said embodiment.
For example, in this embodiment, the cone part 27 of the application part 21 is formed in a conical shape. However, the cone part 27 is not limited to this, for example, a triangular pyramid shape or a quadrangular pyramid shape, preferably a hexagonal pyramid or more. A cone shape such as a polygonal pyramid shape may be used. The cone part of the application part 21 should just be a shape which can apply | coat the liquid cosmetic 4 to a lip, rotating this cone part centering on an axial direction, when applying the liquid cosmetic 4 to a lip. .

  Moreover, although the application part 21 demonstrated using the structure which inserts an insertion part in a to-be-inserted part and exposes only a cone part in this embodiment, parts other than the cone part 27 were exposed. It may be a configuration. That is, the application unit 21 may be configured to have the cone part 27, and the application unit 21 may have a part other than the cone part 27, for example, a cylindrical part, a prismatic part, or the like. In this case, the length of the cone part 27 in the axial direction is preferably 70% or more, more preferably 90% or more of the axial length of the application part 21 from the viewpoint of usability and usability. is there.
