Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an eyelash curler capable of neatly curling eyelashes. SOLUTION: The eyelash curler includes a body 2 with an upper holding part 1 for holding eyelashes from above, and a sliding member 4 with a lower holding part 3 for holding the eyelashes from below. The sliding member 4 is mounted to the body 1 in such a manner as to be capable of sliding vertically over a certain range of sliding movement. A guide means for guiding the sliding member 4 in sliding is interposed between the sliding member 4 and the body 2 and is not present at each end of the lower holding part 3 but below the lower holding part 3. The guide means therefore does not project to the outside from near each end of the holding part 3, and each end of the lower holding part 3 is directly exposed without being blocked by the guide means.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a commonly used eyelash curler.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional eyelash curling device has, as shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-446913, a hole serving as a guide means for vertically guiding a lower holding portion. Frame rods are provided on both sides of the main body, and the frame rods are inserted into the holes, and the holes slide along the frame rods. ing.

[0003]

As described above, since the guide means of the lower holding part in the conventional eyelash curling device is provided at both ends of the lower holding part, both ends of the lower holding part are connected to the guide means. It was blocked and not exposed. For this reason, for a woman with relatively large eyes, there has been an inconvenience that the eyelashes cannot be curled cleanly because the end portions of the eyelashes come into contact with the frame rods and holes serving as the guide means of the lower holding portion. .

The present invention provides an eyelash which can prevent the eyelashes from touching the guide means during use by providing the guide means for the lower presser portion below the lower presser portion, so that the eyelashes can be completely curled. It is an object to provide a curling device.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a sliding member having a main body having an upper pressing portion for pressing the eyelashes from above and a lower pressing portion for pressing the eyelashes from below.
The sliding member 4 is attached to the main body 1 so as to be slidable up and down by a certain range, and a sliding member is provided between the sliding member 4 and the main body 2. The guide means for guiding the sliding of the slide 4 is interposed, and the guide means does not exist at both ends of the lower holding part 3, but exists below the lower holding part 3, so that the guide means is provided at the lower holding part. It is characterized in that it does not protrude from the vicinity of both ends of the portion 3 and both ends of the lower holding portion 3 are exposed without being interrupted by the guide means.

[0006]

The present invention is constructed as described above, and the guide means for guiding the sliding of the sliding member 4 does not exist at both ends of the lower holding part 3, but is provided below the lower holding part 3. The guide means does not protrude from the vicinity of both ends of the lower holding part 3, and both ends of the lower holding part 3 are exposed without being interrupted by the guide means. Therefore, even if the end of the eyelash protrudes outside the end of the lower presser portion 3 during use, the eyelash can be cleanly curled without touching the guide means.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. The sliding member 4 has a thick plate shape and is integrally formed of plastic. The overall shape is substantially T-shaped, and the upper end is a lower holding portion 3, which is provided with an elongated rubber. An elongated guide hole 7 is provided in the center longitudinal direction of the body 13 below the lower holding portion 3. The guide holes 7 serve to guide the sliding member 4 when sliding up and down. By providing the guide holes 7, the pillars 25, 25 extending on both sides of the guide holes 7 are formed in the body 13. The width | variety of the support | pillar 25, 25 is substantially the same as the guide hole 7, and is wide. Conventionally, the guide means of the sliding member 4 is provided at both ends of the lower holding part 3 in order to stably support the lower holding part 3, but here, the lower holding part 3 has two wide columns 25, Since the support is provided by the support 25, the lower holding portion 3 is stably supported even if the support is provided closer to the center than both ends of the lower holding portion 3.

The main body 2 is made of plastic,
The main body front part 5 and the main body rear part 6 are separately formed, and they are connected and assembled. A hollow portion 8 is provided inside the main body 2 for housing a body portion 13 of a sliding member and sliding the body portion 13 up and down.
Is provided. Side walls 9, 9 at the center of the inner surface of the front part 5 of the main body
And the upper wall 10 are integrally provided so that the spring storage portion 1 is provided.
1 is formed. There is no wall on the lower surface of the spring housing 11 and it is open. A coil spring 12 is housed inside the spring housing 11, and the coil spring 12 is longer than the length of the spring housing 11. The main body 2 and the sliding member 4 are assembled such that the upper wall 10, the side walls 9, 9 forming the spring housing 11, and the coil spring 12 housed in the spring housing 11 are accommodated in the guide hole 7. .

Since the side walls 9, 9 are in contact with the inner surface of the guide hole 7 at a slight interval, the sliding of the sliding member 4 can be made stable and smooth.

Since the lower end of the coil spring 12 housed in the spring housing 11 is pressed against the bottom surface 14 of the guide hole, the sliding member 4 is constantly pressed downward by the elastic force of the coil spring 12. However, when the sliding member 4 moves downward, the lower surfaces 15, 15 of the lower holding portion 3 projecting left and right come into contact with the upper surface of the front portion 5 of the main body. Is regulated.

The main body rear portion 6 extends above the main body front portion 5 and is bent forward to form the upper holding portion 1. When the above-mentioned sliding member 4 slides upward, the lower pressing portion 3 of the sliding member presses against the upper pressing portion 1 to curl the eyelashes.

The members for moving the sliding member 4 upward are the lever 16 and the claw member 17. These members are rotatably mounted on the rear part 6 of the main body by the same shaft 22. The lever 16 is formed in a plate shape.
When the lever is rotated downward, the back surface of the lever 16 gives moment to the claw member to rotate the claw portion 18, and the claw portion 18 presses the notch upper surfaces 19, 19 of the sliding member from below. Then, the sliding member 4 is pushed up.

The lever 16 is formed in a plate shape as described above, and has a width smaller than the width of the rear view of the main body in FIG. In addition, a hole 23 is provided in the upper half part of the back part 6, and the rear end face 24 of the upper holding part is cut out and retracted from the surface of the back part 6. When the lever 16 is fully rotated upward after use, the claw portion 18 is separated from the rear surface of the lever 16, and the lever 16 is stored in the lever storage portion 20 formed by the hole 23, so that the entirety is provided. It is compact and easy to carry. The length of the lever 16 is set such that the end of the lever 16 hits the rear end face 24 of the upper holding portion. For this reason, the rotation of the lever 16 can be restricted. If a locking means such as a concave portion and a projection is provided between the lever 16 and the lever storage portion 20, the lever 16 can be securely stored without naturally rotating outward. . Reference numeral 21 is a rubber spare.
