[Mode for Invention]

The terms and wordings used in the specification and claims should not be construed to be limited to common or lexicographic meanings, but be construed as the meanings and concepts in agreement with the technical spirits of the present invention based on the principle that the inventor can define the concepts of terms in a suitable way to explain his or her invention in the best way.
Hereinafter, a mascara product 100 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mascara product 100 according to the present invention includes a container body 110, a knob 120 coupled to the container body 110, and an applying member 130 having a brush 134 rotatably installed at an end of a brush wand 122 of the knob 120.
Mascara liquid is stored within the container body 110 for volumizing, curling, lengthening, and cleaning of the eyelashes. The container body 110 may have various shapes such as a cylinder and a rectangular box. The container body 110 may be made of various materials, such as plastic and aluminum, which are harmless to human bodies.
The knob 120 is air-tightly coupled to an opening 112 of the container body 110. The knob 120 may have a shape the same as an outer periphery of the container body 110 and may have various patterns to make the mascara product appealing.
The brush wand 122 extending by a predetermined length is formed at one side of the knob 120, i.e. a portion of the knob 120 coupled to the container body 110. The brush wand 122 is located within the container body 110 when the knob 120 is coupled to the container body 110.
The applying member 130 is mounted to an end of the brush wand 122. The applying member 130 includes a support body 132 having a support prop 132a and rotation guide holes 132b, and a brush 134 rotatably installed in the rotation guide holes 132b.
The support body 132 may be made of, for example, a metal or a plastic material which is not bent and harmless to human bodies.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the support prop 132a of the support body 132 may be widened at both sides thereof (forming a substantially elliptical shape). The ends of the support prop 132a gather at opposite sides thereof and the rotation guide holes 132b are formed at the sides where the ends of the support prop 132a gather.
As illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6, the support prop 132a of the support body 132 may have a semi-elliptical shape that is selectively provided at one side of the support body 132. The rotation guide holes 132b may be provided at opposite ends of the support prop 132a. In this case, since the support prop 132a is provided only at one of the left and right sides of the support body 132, a user can easily apply mascara liquid to eyelashes by using the brush 134 without any interference with the eyelashes on one of the left and right sides.
The brush 134 is rotatably installed in the rotation guide holes 132b. The brush 134 has a contact brush part 134b contacting an eyelash, and a fixing rod 134a opposite ends of which are rotatably installed in the rotation guide holes 132b. The brush is inserted into the container body 110 when the knob 120 is coupled to the container body 110. The brush 134 helps a user selectively perform an operation for volumizing, curling, lengthening, and cleaning of the eyelashes while being rotated when the user applies mascara liquid to the eyelashes.
Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described as an example, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, but it should be understood that the scope obvious to those skilled in the art to which the prevent invention pertains falls in the scopes of the claims.
