[0022]

[Effects of the Invention] The front case 7 joined in a lid-to-lid shape
And the rear case 8 to form the case 1 and the pressing tool 6
And the operating mechanism is assembled into the front case 7 in an operable state to form a unit part. Therefore, with the pressing tool 6 and the operating mechanism temporarily assembled in the front case 7, the operating mechanism and the pressing tool 3 can be normally operated. It is possible to confirm whether or not to operate. Therefore, as compared with the conventional eyelash curler, the operation failure of the operating mechanism and the pressing tool 6 can be found at an early stage of the assembling process. Can be reduced.

Since the pressing tool 6 and its operating mechanism are assembled into the front case 7 to form a unit, the labor required for assembling the front case 7 to the rear case 8 can be significantly reduced, and the subsequent assembling work can be performed easily and quickly. I can do it. The work of temporarily assembling the pressing tool 6 and its operating mechanism to the front case 7 can also be facilitated.

According to the eyelash curler in which the operating mechanism is constituted by the operating tool 3, the motion converting mechanism, the return spring 35 and the like, and one of the components of the motion converting mechanism is fastened and fixed to the front case 7 by the fastener 42. By simply fastening and fixing the previous fastener 42, the operation conversion mechanism can be held in a temporarily assembled state, the operation of the operation mechanism can be confirmed, and if an operation failure is found, the fastener 42 can be simply removed. Thus, the time and effort for disassembling the entire operation mechanism from the front case 7 can be further reduced.

In a state where the pressing tool 6 and its operation mechanism are temporarily assembled into the front case 7 to form a unit, the pressing tool 6 can move in a direction away from the front case 7 by its own weight. Providing a restricting body 46 for preventing the pressing member 6 from floating facilitates the subsequent handling of the front case 7 which has been made into a unit, and improves the workability when assembling the front case 7 and the rear case 8. And the operation of the pressing tool 6 can be confirmed more reliably.

According to the operating mechanism using the spring 35 for urging the pressing member 6 toward the standby position to return to the standby position, the spring 35 also serves as the restricting body 46. Since the movement of the pressing tool 6 can be regulated without accompanying,
Accordingly, the structure of the operation mechanism can be simplified, and the cost can be reduced.

According to the operation mechanism for preventing the pressing member 6 from floating by the restricting member 46 provided in a part of the front case 7, the floating member can be moved only by inserting the pressing member 6 into the restricting member 46 during the temporary assembly. In addition to being able to regulate, the molding of the regulating body 46 integrally with the front case 7 can prevent an increase in the number of parts.

When the operation tool 3 is assembled to the front case 7 so that a part of the outline of the operation tool 3 overlaps with the outline of the battery 17, the vertical dimension is reduced by an amount corresponding to the overlap of the two outer lines. Thus, the eyelash curler can be made smaller and more compact.

According to the eyelash curler in which the operating tool 3 is formed in a push button shape and a part of the stroke of the operating tool 3 overlaps the upper outer line of the battery 17, the operating tool 3
The front and rear dimensions of the case 1 can be shortened by an amount corresponding to the overlapping stroke of the projecting and retracting stroke and the upper outer line of the battery 17, and the operating tool 3 exceeds the stroke limit by receiving the pushed operating tool 3 with the battery 17. Excessive pushing operation can be prevented. Therefore, a failure due to excessive operation of the operating tool 3, for example, a failure such as a rubber bristle receiver 49 provided on the pressing tool 6 being excessively pressed against the shaping frame 5 and the end thereof being torn can be prevented. .

The operating tool 3 is supported on the front case 7 so as to be able to move back and forth in the front-rear direction and swing.
According to the eyelash curler which is received by the bearing seat 40 of the front case 7 and further held and fixed by the regulating body 46 provided at a position facing the bearing seat 40, the temporary assembling of the operating tool 3 to the front case 7 can be easily performed. In the assembled state, the support shaft 38 is reliably prevented from floating away from the bearing seat 40,
The operation of moving the operating tool 3 forward and backward can be performed smoothly.

When the battery 17 is used as the regulating body 46, there is no need to separately provide the regulating body 46.
This can contribute to simplification of the structure. Also, instead of the battery 17,
When a commercial power supply is used, by providing the rear case 8 with the regulating body 46, the support shaft 38 can be reliably prevented from floating.

A heater 50 for accelerating the hammering is disposed inside the pressing member 6, and a circuit board 19 for controlling the heater 50 is attached to the pressing member 6.
If it is arranged in the space in the case between the rear case 8 and the rear case 8, the length of the lead wire connecting the heater 50 and the circuit board 19 can be reduced, so that there is a margin for the pressing tool 6 to contact and separate from the shaping frame 5. If you take the lead into consideration,
The structure for fixing to the case can be omitted, and the case structure can be simplified accordingly.

The lighting device 2 for the shaping frame 5 is provided above the rear case 8.
According to the embodiment in which the lead wire is directly connected to the circuit board 19 and the lighting device 20 is supported by the circuit board 19, the structure for supporting and holding the lighting device 20 so as to be non-movable is omitted. By this, the internal structure of the rear case 8 can be simplified.

The front case 7 and the rear case 8 which are joined together in a lid-fitting state
And the makeup case 10 is detachably attached to the rear case 8 projecting from below the sleeve 9.
According to the case structure in which the eyelash curler can be held by holding the upper part of the case including the sleeve 9 when removing the makeup case 10 for battery replacement, the removal operation of the makeup case 10 can be performed. It can be done reliably and easily. Further, since the front and rear cases 7.8 are inseparably held by the sleeve 9, it is possible to prevent the joint surfaces of the front and rear cases 7.8 from being separated when the decorative case 10 is attached or detached, thereby preventing a fingertip or the like from being pinched there. Even if the eyelash curler is dropped off with the makeup case 10 removed, it is possible to prevent the front and rear cases 7, 8 from falling apart due to a drop impact.

According to the eyelash curler in which the makeup case 10 is formed into a double cylindrical shape by the inner case 25 and the transparent or translucent outer case 26, and the decorative sheet 27 is interposed between the two cases 25 and 26. , Just by changing the decoration sheet 27,
A series product having a different apparent impression can be provided at a low price, and since the decorative sheet 27 is viewed through the outer case 26, a deep color tone similar to that of the colored case can be expressed.

A flat wall 14a is provided in a part of the battery accommodating portion 14 of the rear case 8, and the lead plate 4 is formed along the flat wall 14a.
Since the lead plate 7 is disposed, the lead plate 47 can be stably held, and the lead plate 47 can be prevented from floating when the battery 17 is taken in and out. Further, the inner case 2 corresponds to the flat wall 14a.
By providing the flat wall 25a on the inner case 25, a gap larger than the gap between the outer case 26 and the flat wall 25a of the inner case 25 can be formed. The peripheral edges of the decorative sheet 27 wound on the sheet can be easily overlapped inside and outside.

When the fine irregularities 28 are formed on either the inner surface of the outer case 26 or the outer surface of the decorative sheet 27, the decorative sheet 27 comes into close contact with the outer case 26, thereby preventing the occurrence of a moire-like contact pattern. The appearance of the decorative sheet 27 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 11, it is arranged in a space between the pressing tool 6 and the rear case 8 and is fixed to the rear case 8. In this manner, the circuit board 19 is arranged near the pressing tool 6, and the lead wires derived from the heater 50 and the thermistor 51 are connected to the circuit board 1.
When the connection is made to 9, the length of the lead wire can be made as small as possible, so that there is no need to provide a claw or presser for fixing the lead wire inside the case 1, and the internal structure of the case can be simplified accordingly.

The circuit board 19 also serves as a support for the lighting device 20. Specifically, the lighting fixture 20 composed of a light emitting diode
After directly soldering the lead wire to the circuit board 19,
By bending the lead wire upward and inserting the light emitting portion into the light emitting hole 61 provided in the rear case 8, the lighting device 20 is fixedly held non-movably.

The eyelash curler configured as described above
The pressing tool 6, the operating tool 3, and the motion converting mechanism are assembled to the front case 7 so that they can be handled as one unit component. The terminal plate 18, the lighting device 20, the power switch 4, the circuit board 19, and the like are assembled in the rear case 8. Next, after the lead wires of the heater 50 and the thermistor 51 are soldered to the circuit board 19, the front case 7 is joined to the rear case 8 and engaged and mounted. For the first time in this joined state, the pressing tool 6 is sandwiched back and forth by the front and rear cases 7.8 to be guided and supported so as to be able to slide up and down.

The sleeve 9 is externally fitted from below the integrated front and rear cases 7.8 to fix the two cases 7.8 inseparably. Further, the decorative case 10 is externally fitted to the rear case 8 projecting downward from the sleeve 9, and the engaging spring 30 on the inner bottom thereof is provided.

At the time of use, the makeup case 10 is removed from the rear case 8 to expose the battery accommodating portion 14, two batteries 17 are loaded in a serial connection state, and the makeup case 10 is reloaded.

In the present invention, the arrangement of each component is set as follows to realize the downsizing and compactness of the eyelash roller. The battery 17 is accommodated in the lower half of the rear case 8, but when the operating tool 3 is pushed into the case as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. A part of the outer line of the operating tool 3 enters the inside and overlaps with the outer line of the battery 17 so that the front-rear dimension of the case 1 can be reduced by the overlap of the outer line. The operating tool 3 in this case may be a slide knob that reciprocates up and down.

The relationship between the operating tool 3 and the battery 17 also helps to reduce the vertical dimension of the case 1.
For example, when the operation tool 3 is disposed above the upper end of the upper battery 17, the vertical length of the case 1 needs to be increased accordingly. Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 11, a part of the stroke of the operating tool 3 formed in the shape of a push button overlaps with the upper outer line of the battery 17,
The vertical dimension of the case 1 is reduced by the overlapping portion, and the front and rear dimensions of the case 1 are also reduced. The battery 17 also receives the operating tool 3 that has been pushed in, and also functions as a stopper that defines the pushing limit of the operating tool 3. Therefore, an excessive pushing operation of the operating tool 3 can be reliably prevented, and a failure based on the excessive pushing operation can be prevented. For example, a rubber bristle receiver 49 provided on the pressing tool 6.
Can be prevented from being excessively pressed against the shaping frame 5 to break the end thereof. Operating tool 3 in this case
May be a push-button-type operating tool supported to be slidable back and forth. In a state where the operating tool 3 is properly pushed in and the pressing tool 6 is brought into contact with the shaping frame 5, FIG.
As shown by a solid line in FIG. 1, a part of the operating tool 3 and the outer line of the battery 17 overlap each other, but when the operating tool 3 is further pushed in, the upper and lower sides of the opening both side edges are opened. The part contacts the surface of the battery 17 and prevents further pushing operation, so that the battery 17 functions as a stopper.

The battery 17 is a restricting tool 6 for reliably preventing the support shaft 38 of the operating tool 3 from dropping off from the bearing seat 40 of the front case 7.
Also serves as 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, in a state where the battery 17 is housed in the battery housing portion 14, the peripheral surface of the upper battery 17 is brought into contact with the center of the lower end of the operating tool 3, and the support shaft 38 is moved to the bearing seat 40. To prevent separation from Note that the restricting tool 63 can protrude from the inner surface of the rear case 8 facing the bearing seat 40.

In the above embodiment, the spring 35 for urging the pressing tool 6 to return also serves as the regulating body 46, but this is not necessary. For example. As shown in FIG. 15, a pair of right and left regulating bodies 46 for receiving the holder 48 is protruded from the inner surface of the upper end facing the slide surface 45 of the front case 7 so that the temporarily assembled holder 48 is separated from the front case 7. Can be blocked. In this case, the spring 35 is formed of a torsion coil type spring, and the spring 35 pushes down and urges the link 34. One spring arm of the spring 35 contacts the front case 7, and the other spring arm contacts an intermediate wall of the relay piece 33.

The fine irregularities 28 can be formed by processing the surface of the decorative sheet 27 into a satin finish, or can be formed by processing the inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the outer case 26 into a satin finish.
