Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator, and in particular to the structure of a bristle comb.
  • a type of applicator includes an applicator section for applying a mascara liquid on eyelashes and a comb section for removing so-called "lumps" of the mascara liquid from the eyelashes with the mascara liquid applied thereon with the applicator section, or for separating the individual eyelashes adhering to each other (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-095091 ).
  • the applicator section has, for example, a brush or grooves provided at the outer circumferential surface of a head of a cylindrical shaft.
  • the comb section has a plurality of bristles provided at the outer circumferential surface of the head on the side opposite from the applicator section via the shaft.
  • This type of applicator is usually sealed with the head of the shaft being dipped in the mascara liquid contained in a container body.
  • the head of the shaft is pulled out from the container body with the mascara liquid adhered thereto, and the amount of the adhering mascara liquid is controlled with a limiting member formed at the container body when the head is pulled out to be used.
  • the mascara liquid adheres around the comb section or into the spaces between the bristles when the comb section is pulled out from the container body, making it difficult to comb the eyelashes in a successful manner.
  • the present applicant has proposed to reduce the size of a limiting aperture 6a of the limiting member 6, as shown in FIG. 12A for example, to increase a force to remove the mascara liquid adhering to the comb section.
  • root portions of bristles 3a' abut the limiting aperture 6a and the bristles 3a' bend at the root portions in alternating directions, as shown in FIG. 12C . This may cause the bristles 3a' to become rough and spread.
  • the present invention is directed to providing a cosmetic applicator having bristles thereof prevented from becoming rough and spreading.
  • the cosmetic applicator of the invention includes: a shaft section having a cylindrical shaft body and at least one recess formed in an outer circumferential surface of a head of the cylindrical shaft body along a longitudinal direction of the shaft section; and a plurality of bristles arranged in at least one row along the longitudinal direction and projecting from interior of the recess beyond the outer circumferential surface.
  • a distance from base ends of the bristles to the outer circumferential surface is preferably 0.5 mm or more, and more preferably within the range from 0.5 to 2.0 mm.
  • the recess is preferably a groove extending along the longitudinal direction.
  • the shaft section preferably includes, at an area on the outer circumferential surface of the head of the shaft body other than the recess, an applicator section for applying a cosmetic.
  • the bristles are preferably disposed at a base member for holding basal portions of the bristles.
  • spacing between the bristles in the longitudinal direction is preferably in the range from 0.1 to 2.0 mm, and is more preferably 0.2 ⁇ 0.02 mm.
  • the bristles preferably project from the outer circumferential surface by a length ranging from 2 to 5 mm.
  • an entire length of each bristle is preferably in the range from 3 to 6 mm.
  • the bristles preferably comprise a thermoplastic elastomer as a main component, and it is more preferable that the thermoplastic elastomer is a polyester elastomer. It should be noted that, in the invention, the bristles may contain inevitable impurities.
  • the cosmetic applicator according to the invention includes: a shaft section including a cylindrical shaft body and at least one recess formed along the longitudinal direction in the outer circumferential surface of the head of the cylindrical shaft body; and a plurality of bristles arranged in at least one row along the longitudinal direction and projecting from interior of the recess beyond the outer circumferential surface. Therefore, the base ends of the bristle can be positioned lower than the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body, and when the head of the shaft section with the cosmetic adhered thereto is pulled out from the container body, the base ends of the bristles do not abut the limiting member formed at the container body. Thus, a load imposed on the base ends of the bristles can be reduced.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a mascara applicator 1 of this embodiment
  • FIG. 2 is an exploded view corresponding to FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view with a partial section taken along line A-A in FIG. 1
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the main part of a comb section 3 shown in FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 5A shows another embodiment of bristles
  • FIG. 5B shows yet another embodiment of the bristles
  • FIG. 6 shows a head of the mascara applicator 1 being pulled out from a container body.
  • the side to which the tips of bristles 3a face i.e., the upper side in FIGs. 1 to 4
  • the upper side is referred to as the upper side.
  • the mascara applicator 1 of this embodiment includes a shaft section 2, a comb section 3, an applicator section 4 and a cap 5.
  • the shaft section 2 includes a substantially cylindrical shaft body 2a.
  • the shaft section 2 further includes, at the head portion of the shaft body 2a, an opening 2b which is provided along the longitudinal direction for receiving a later-described applicator section 4 attached thereto, an attachment section 2c, which is in fluid communication with the opening 2b and receives a base member 3b of the comb section 3 attached thereto, as shown in FIG. 3 , and a groove 2d which is provided in the outer circumferential surface of the head of the shaft body 2a to extend along the longitudinal direction and in fluid communication with the attachment section 2c.
  • a depth d of the groove 2d is preferably 0.5 mm or more, since, when the head of the mascara applicator 1 was inserted and pulled out a hundred times into and from a container body (not shown) including the limiting member 6 (see FIGs. 12A, 12B and 12C ) described above in the "BACKGROUND ART" section, the bristles 3a, which will be described later, became somewhat rough when the depth d was 0.2 mm, and did not become rough when the depth d was 0.5 mm.
  • the depth d is preferably 2 mm or less so that the diameter of the shaft body 2a does not become too large. Therefore, the depth d of the groove 2d may be in the range from 0.5 to 2 mm.
  • the depth d is 0.5 mm in this embodiment.
  • the cap 5 is connected to the tail of the shaft body 2a.
  • the cap 5 is removably attached to the opening of the container body (not shown) containing the mascara liquid, and the cap 5 is adapted to be usable as a handle to be held by the user.
  • the container body includes the above-described limiting member 6 (see FIGs. 12A, 12B and 12C ).
  • the shaft section 2 is formed, for example, through injection molding from a material containing any one of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PA (polyamide) and PP (polypropylene) as the main component.
  • the material is selected as appropriate depending on the ingredient of the cosmetic.
  • the comb section 3 is used to remove so-called "lumps" of the mascara liquid from the eyelashes with the mascara liquid applied thereon, or to separate the individual eyelashes adhering to each other.
  • the comb section 3 is formed, for example, through injection molding from a material containing polyester thermoplastic elastomer (TPE: Thermoplastic Elastomer) as the main component.
  • TPE polyester thermoplastic elastomer
  • PELPRENE registered trademark
  • P-280B and/or E-450B available from Toyobo Co., Ltd.
  • the material used to form the comb section 3 will be described in detail later.
  • the comb section 3 includes the plurality of bristles 3a arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction, and a base member 3b having a rectangular cuboidal shape, which holds basal portions of the bristles 3a vertically arranged on the base member 3b.
  • the spacing D between the bristles 3a in the longitudinal direction is 0.1 to 2.0 mm, preferably 0.2 ⁇ 0.02 mm. Since the thickness of each eyelash of a human is generally around 0.15 mm, although there are differences among individuals, only one eyelash enters each space D between bristles 3a when the comb section 3 is used to treat the eyelashes, and thus the individual eyelashes can be separated from each other.
  • the bristles 3a of this embodiment have the circular sectional shape as described above, the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
  • a larger width may be provided in the direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the bristles 3a are arranged, i.e., in the application direction.
  • the bristles may have a sectional shape with rounded corners where the width A2 is 0.2 mm, and a width A3 in the substantially perpendicular direction to the width A2 is 0.3 mm or 0.4 mm, as shown in FIG. 5A , or may have an ellipsoidal sectional shape having the similar dimensions as those described above, as shown in FIG. 5B , or may have a rhomboidal or triangular sectional shape.
  • the bristles 3a of this embodiment have a straight shape, i.e., have the same sectional shape from the upper end to the lower end.
  • the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
  • the bristles may be tapered to have pointed tips.
  • the applicator section 4 is used to apply the mascara liquid on the eyelashes, and is formed, for example, through injection molding from a material containing any one of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PA (polyamide) and PP (polypropylene) as the main component.
  • the material is selected as appropriate depending on the ingredient of the cosmetic.
  • the applicator section 4 has a substantially semicircular sectional shape, and extends in the longitudinal direction by a length attachable in the opening 2b of the shaft body 2, as shown in FIGs. 1 and 2 .
  • the applicator section 4 includes, at the lower end thereof, a plurality of application grooves 4a arranged along the longitudinal direction. Each application groove 4a is formed along the circumferential surface in the direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
  • the applicator section 4 includes, at the upper end thereof, at least one protrusion 4b formed along the longitudinal direction to protrude from the upper surface.
  • the base member 3b of the comb section 3 is inserted into the attachment section 2c from below the shaft body 2a such that the bristles 3a project from the interior of the groove 2d of the shaft body 2a beyond the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 2a, to position the base ends of the bristles 3a lower than the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 2a. Since the depth d of the groove 2d is 0.5 mm and the upper surface of the base member 3b abuts the upper surface of the attachment section 2c, as shown in FIG. 3 , the distance from the base end of each bristle 3a to the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 2a is 0.5 mm.
  • the base ends of the bristles 3a are positioned lower than the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 2a, the base ends of the bristles 3a do not abut the limiting aperture 6a of the limiting member 6 when the head of the shaft section 2 with the mascara liquid adhered thereto is pulled out from the container body, as shown in FIG. 6 , and thus the load imposed on the base ends of bristles 3a can be reduced.
  • the bristles 3a can be prevented from being bent at the root portions in alternating directions by the limiting member 6 when the shaft section 2 is pulled out from the container body, thereby preventing the bristles 3a from becoming rough and spreading.
  • the applicator section 4 is attached in the opening 2b from below the shaft section 2 with the protrusion 4b facing upward.
  • the applicator section 4 and the shaft body 2a are removably secured to each other via engaging sections (not shown) which are formed, for example, in the form of depressions and protrusions that engage with each other.
  • the applicator section 4 and the shaft body 2a may further be welded through ultrasonic welding or radio-frequency welding, for example. As shown in FIG.
  • the comb section 3 is held by shaft body 2a and the applicator section 4 from above and below with the upper surface of the base member 3b abutting the upper surface of the attachment section 2c and the lower surface of the base member 3b abutting the upper end of the protrusion 4b.
  • the mascara applicator 1 of this embodiment is assembled as described above.
  • the base ends of the bristles 3a can be positioned lower than the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 2a, and the base ends of the bristles 3a do not abut the limiting aperture 6a of the limiting member 6 formed at the container body when the head of the shaft section 2 with the mascara liquid adhered thereto is pulled out from the container body.
  • the load imposed on the base ends of the bristles 3a can be reduced.
  • the bristles 3a are prevented from being bent at the root portions in alternating directions by the limiting member 6, thereby preventing the bristles 3a from becoming rough and spreading.
  • FIG. 7 shows results of roughening of the bristles 3a and 3a' of the mascara applicator 1 and the conventional mascara applicator 1' when the mascara applicator 1 and the conventional mascara applicator 1' were inserted and pulled out a hundred times into and from the container body including the limiting member 6.
  • Each of the mascara applicator 1 and the conventional mascara applicator 1' has the comb section 3 made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), PA (polyamide resin) such as nylon, or polyester thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the base ends of the bristles 3a' stand from the outer circumferential surface of the shaft body 2a', as shown in FIGs. 12A, 12B and 12C .

  • the shaft section 2 of the mascara applicator 1 is preferably made of a relatively hard material.
  • the comb section 3 is preferably made of a resilient material in order to remove the mascara liquid adhering to the bristles 3a. Therefore, forming the comb section 3 of different materials containing PELPRENE (registered trademark) of different grades, comparison was made between the different materials similarly to the above by inserting and pulling out the comb section 3 a hundred times into and from the container body. The results of the comparison are shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the grades of the PELPRENE (registered trademark) were P-150B, P-280B and E-450B in the order of the hardness from the lowest.
  • the bristles 3a and 3a' made of P-150B had somewhat insufficient elasticity, i.e., resiliency, and further, it was difficult to open the mold when they were molded. Therefore, in view of ease of molding and resiliency, the grades P-280B and/or P-450B are considered to be more preferable than the grade P-150B.
