Description

Brush and mascara container with same

Technical Field

The invention relates to a brush and a mascara container having the same.

Background

In general, mascara cosmetics applied using a makeup implement may be used in order to exhibit an elegant and dry style to eyelashes.

The prior art mascara makeup tool is provided with a gasket or an inner plug for suppressing the outflow of mascara solution by storing mascara solution inside a container body.

Such a prior art mascara make-up tool has a disadvantage in that the brush itself to which the brush is attached cannot be separated from the barrel when the diameter of the brush, i.e., the brush, is larger than the diameter of the brush rod or the inner diameter of the inner plug, because the inner plug is mounted at the access hole of the barrel.

In addition, the prior art brush or brush set has a shape that is simply extended in the same or similar direction as the axial extension direction of the brush rod or a shape of a line, and thus has a disadvantage that it is inconvenient to apply or makeup mascara solution to eyelashes having various curves.

According to the mascara make-up tool of the prior art, which has a bar shape in which a brush is combined to a brush stick, the contact of eyelash and mascara brush is in a straight line shape, or the range of the brush is narrow so that only a surface contact can be made, with the result that the applying manner may be very limited.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In describing the present invention, when it is determined that specific descriptions of related well-known structures or functions may obscure the gist of the present invention, detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a mascara container having a brush according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is a perspective view of a state where an outer cap and an inner cap are spread by rotation in the mascara container shown in fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a coupling relationship of the brush shown in fig. 1, fig. 4 is a flowchart for explaining a manufacturing method of the brush shown in fig. 3, and fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining a shape of a brush body which can be coupled to the brush bar shown in fig. 3.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, the brush 100 of the present embodiment may mean an application tool for mascara cosmetic itself manufactured separately from the container 10 and capable of being received and integrated in the container 10, or a cosmetic product or a makeup tool set together with the container 10. For example, the container 10 may be constructed to include the brush 100. Although not shown, the container 10 may have a container shape in which only the vessel 11 is contained and can be opened or closed by a rotary lid, and thus is not limited to a specific container shape.

The brush 100 can include a brush bar 110, a bar connection part 120, a brush body 130, and bristles (fibers) 140.

The brush bar 110 may be combined with the brush body 130. The brush bar 110 may be in the shape of a handle, a knob, or a shaft member to support the brush body 130, and the brush bar 110 may have a hole 111 at its distal end surface to be coupled with the bar connecting part 120.

The container 11 is made of a sponge or a porous polymer material, and serves to store the mascara solution contained therein in the pores of the material or to supply the mascara solution to the brush 100 side by contacting the brush 100.

For example, when compared with an oil-based material, i.e., a semisolid or highly viscous liquid material, the mascara cosmetic stored in the vessel 11 may be composed of a color cosmetic material having a relatively low viscosity as compared with such an existing material. The viscosity of the cosmetic may be from 1000cPs to 50000cPs. The mascara composition can be easily contained in the dish 11, and can be easily supplied from the dish 11 to the bristles 140 of the brush body 130.

The present embodiment can also solve the problem of installing the existing cosmetic product in the form of an inner plug by means of the vessel 11 and the brush 100.

For example, when the brush stick 120 and the brush body 130 are combined in a curved form while forming an angle, or when the brush 100 of a ring structure or a closed loop structure is used for an existing general mascara container, it may be difficult to get in and out an inlet and outlet hole of an inner plug provided on an inlet of the general mascara container, and at this time, if the size of the inlet and outlet hole of the inner plug is large, it may be difficult to adjust the amount of mascara material. Even if the access hole of the inner plug is configured to be adjustable in size, the entire brush 100 may be completely immersed in the fluid cosmetic in the general mascara container. In this case, the cosmetics flow into the space portion inside the ring of the brush 100, and the flowed-in cosmetics are bound together along the inner side surface of the brush body 130 due to viscosity (e.g., fluid force between the soap foam sprayer and the soap foam liquid), so that unnecessary outflow of the cosmetics may occur.

However, since the brush 100 of the present embodiment is in contact with the vessel 11, it is possible to easily adjust the amount of the mascara composition, prevent the hairs 140 of the brush 100 and the brush body 130 from being stuck together by being entirely immersed in the mascara composition, and effectively transfer a proper amount of the mascara composition from the vessel 11, thereby facilitating the application work.

The bristles 140 and the brush body 130 around the bristles may further include a surface treatment portion (not shown) such as flocking (flocking) that is suitable for applying or transferring mascara composition. For example, a part or all of the outer surfaces of the brush body 130 and the bristles 140 may be provided by flocking.

The container 11 containing the mascara cosmetic is made of a porous polymer material, is elastically deformable, absorbs fluid, and may be formed in any form of a plate member, a circular block, a rectangular block, or an air cushion. The vessel 11 may contain one or two kinds of mascara cosmetics. In this case, a partition wall (not shown) for dividing one side and the other side of the dish 11 or for dividing a plurality of areas may be further formed inside the center of the dish 11.

The vessel 11 may be mounted on the container body 12. For example, the container body 12 may have a first trough portion 13 for receiving the vessel 11 and a second trough portion 14 for receiving the brush 100. The first groove portion 13 and the second groove portion 14 may be manufactured or injection-molded in a circular or quadrangular groove shape.

At this time, the container body 12 may have the first tank portion 13 disposed on one side of the top surface of the container body 12 and the second tank portion 14 disposed on the other side of the top surface of the container body 12.

Such a container body 12 may have a structure similar to that of a compact-type cosmetic product, and the shape and structure thereof may be injection molded in various forms according to the use or function of the container 10.

In addition, the container main body 12 may include an inner cap 16, and the inner cap 16 may be rotatably coupled to one side hinge portion 15 of the container main body 12 to shield the first groove portion 13.

The shape of the inner lid 16 may be formed in the same or similar shape (e.g., circular) as the shape of the first groove portion 13. Such an inner cover 16 can be kept sealed or shielded by being in contact with the rim top surface of the first groove portion 13. In addition, the inner lid 16 may include a single hinge portion 16a rotatably coupled to the one side hinge portion 15.

In addition, the container body 12 may include an outer cap 18, and the outer cap 18 may be rotatably coupled to the other side hinge portion 17 of the container body 12 at R1 to cover the inner cap and the second groove portion 14.

The outer lid 18 may include a double hinge portion 18a protruding from a corner of the rectangular lid rim, and rotatably coupled to the other side hinge portion 17.

In addition, a mirror 19 may be attached to the inner side surface of the outer cover 18 for user convenience.

In addition, the second groove portion 14 may have a volume capable of accommodating a single or a plurality of brushes 100 including the bristles 140, the brush body 130, the rod connecting portion 120, and the brush rod 110.

Referring to fig. 3, the rod connecting part 120 of the brush 100 may have one side part 121 formed of a twisted wire 33 and a plurality of other side parts 123 branched from the one side part 121. The twisted wire 33 may be a wire-shaped workpiece formed by twisting two hairpin-shaped wires 30 in a state where the hair 140 is implanted.

In addition, the brush body 130 extends from the branched other side portion 123 of the lever connection part 120 to form a ring structure or a closed loop structure, and at this time, is integrally formed with the branched other side portion 123.

Additionally, the plurality of bristles 140 may be secured by the twisted wires 33 of the brush body 130. At this time, the middle portion of each of the bristles 140 may be pressed by the twisted wire 33, and the distal end portion of each of the bristles 140 may be disposed inside or outside the brush body 130. That is, the plurality of bristles 140 may be fixed by the twisted wires 33 of the brush body 130 and protrude in the inner and outer directions of the brush body 130.

The rod connecting part 120, the brush body 130, and the bristles 140 can be mass-produced efficiently by the production method shown in fig. 4.

First, the operator or the brush manufacturing apparatus may perform the raw material supplying step (S10) to obtain the supply of the plurality of aligned hairs 140 and the two lines of the hair clip 30 bent in the "U" shape.

At this time, one side of the wire 30 may be a closed terminal part 31 in a ring shape closed by bending of a "U" shape. In addition, the other side of the wire 30 may be an open end portion 32 in the form of two free ends that are formed and branch off from each other.

The open tip portion 32 has a rough surface such as burrs (burr) caused by wire cutting.

In contrast, the closed end portion 31 has a smooth curved surface due to the bending of the "U" shape.

Thereafter, a hair and thread arranging step (S20) may be performed, in which the hairs 140 are arranged in an aligned state along the gap between the upper and lower sides of the thread 30.

The brush manufacturing apparatus may include: a fixing unit 41 press-fixing the open distal end portion 32 so as not to move; and a rotating unit 42 that grips the closed tip portion 31 to rotate, thereby manufacturing the twisted wire 33.

With this brush manufacturing apparatus, step S30 can be completed to manufacture the twisted wire 33 including the bristles 140.

The wire 30 or the twisted wire 33 may serve to fix or support the hair 140, and may be made of any one of stainless steel, synthetic resin, and plastic.

Thereafter, a brush molding step (S40) may be performed to bend the twisted wire 33 including the bristles 140. In the brush forming step (S40), a general wire or wire bender (not shown) may be used.

In addition, as shown in fig. 3, the wire bender may function to bend the rod connecting part 120 to a predetermined angle T.

When thus twisted, bent or curved, one side portion 121 of the rod connecting part 120 may be inserted into the hole 111 of the distal end of the brush rod 110 in an interference insertion manner, and the other side portion 123 thereof is disposed outside the hole 111. At this time, the rod connecting part 120 may include a bent part 122 connecting the other side part 123 and the one side part 121 to each other in a state where the bent part 122 is bent corresponding to the inclination angle T with reference to the extending direction of the one side part 121.

In the brush forming step (S40), a process of determining the brush type according to the number of the bristles 140 or the bristle arrangement length L (S41) may be performed.

That is, when a relatively large amount of the bristles 140 is used and the bristle array length L is prepared to be relatively long in correspondence thereto, the bending process of the overall bristle arrangement type is performed (S42).

For example, the twisted wire 33 other than the rod connection part 120 may be bent into any one of the shapes described with reference to fig. 5, and as a result, a semi-finished product in which the bristles 140 are distributed or dispersed throughout the entire section of the brush body 130 may be manufactured.

In contrast to this, when a relatively small number of bristles 140 is used, and a bristle array length corresponding thereto is prepared to be relatively short, a partial bristle arrangement type bending process is performed (S43).

That is, it may be manufactured in the form of other types of semi-finished products in which the bristles 140 are distributed or dispersedly arranged only in the partial section 131 except for the rod connecting portion 120 and the partial section 132 of the brush body 130 connected thereto.

That is, the bristles 140 may be provided in the entire section or a partial section of the brush body portion 130 according to the product type.

At this time, one side portion 121 of the lever connection part 120 may include: an open end portion 32 corresponding to the other side of the twisted wire 33; and a closed end portion 31 corresponding to one side of the twisted wire 33. Here, the open distal end portion 32 and the closed distal end portion 31 are disposed at the distal end of one side portion 121 of the lever connecting portion 120 facing the hole 111 of the brush lever 110 in a state of being close to each other.

In particular, the smooth curved surface of the closed distal end portion 31 functions as an insertion guide surface or a sliding contact surface when the lever connecting portion 120 and the brush bar 110 are assembled, thereby functioning to increase the assembling performance of the lever connecting portion 120 and the brush bar 110.

On the other hand, the open distal end portion 32 folded in a state of being close to the closed distal end portion 31 is first guided by the closed distal end portion 31 to be relatively easily inserted into the hole 111 of the brush rod 110. Thereafter, when a process of rotating the lever connecting part 120 in a state where the brush bar 110 is fixed is performed, burrs (burr) of the open distal end part 32 scrape against the inner surface of the hole 111 to be fixed, thereby acting to increase the fixing force of the lever connecting part 120 and the brush bar 110.

On the other hand, a rod assembling step (S50) is performed to assemble the bristles 140, the brush body 130, and the rod connecting part 120, which are formed in a semi-finished product, with the brush rod 110.

Referring to fig. 5, the brush body 130 integrated with the bristles 140 may have a ring shape made by bending or curving, respectively, to have a ring structure or a closed-loop structure. For example, as shown in fig. 5 (a), the brush body 130, which is supported by the rod connecting part 120 and integrated with the bristles 140, may have an oval or circular shape (not shown).

Further, as shown in fig. 5 (b), the brush body 130 may have a shape in which a plurality of loops are overlapped, that is, a shape such as a multi-loop shape or a crown shape which is manufactured by folding the twisted wire 33 to be overlapped.

Of course, when the twisted wire 33 is relatively much folded to manufacture the crown-shaped brush body 130 having two or more ring structures as shown in fig. 5 (b), it is also necessary to change the diameter and length of the brush rod 110, the diameter and depth of the hole 111 of the brush rod 110, and the like. Of course, in this embodiment, the design of the container 10 may also be varied as the size or shape of the brush 100 is varied.

Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 5 (c) to (i), the brush body 130 may have any one shape of a spoon shape, an inverted triangle shape, an inverted pentagon shape, a fan shape, a rectangle shape, a triangle shape, and a cactus shape.

As described above, the brush body 130 of the present embodiment can be easily formed in a loop structure, or a closed loop structure by bending or curving the twisted wire 33, and thus can apply mascara to the central side of the upper eyelashes, the caudal part, the canthus part, or the eyelashes of a user in various ways. For example, the oval or circular brush body 130 shown in fig. 5 (a) may be in contact with the mascara-applying portion in a circular or arc shape with respect to the front surface of the brush body 130 shown in fig. 5. Further, when the side portion of the brush body 130 is used, the contact may be performed in a straight line or a curved line. In this manner, the brush body 130 can apply the mascara cosmetic to the upper eyelashes or the lower eyelashes of the user in various ways.

Further, since the brush body 130 is formed to be inclined with respect to the brush bar 110 or the bar connecting portion 120, there is an advantage in that the angle can be easily adjusted and the feeling of touch to the dish 11 can be improved.

In the above, the brush according to the embodiment of the present invention and the mascara container having the same have been described through the embodiments, but they are only examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and should be construed as having the widest scope based on the basic concept disclosed in the present specification. Those skilled in the art can combine and substitute the embodiments to implement a pattern of an unspecified shape without departing from the scope of the present invention. In addition, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure that various changes and modifications can be made in the disclosed embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention.
