Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously achieve both effects of a volume effect and a curling effect of eyebrows in coating application of a mascara cosmetic material. SOLUTION: This cosmetic brush comprises an extension segment where a fibrous coating application section constituting bristles of the brush extends radially from the outer peripheral surface of a stem section and an intersecting segment where the coating application section extends in an intersecting direction from the extension segment. The brush applies the cosmetic material to the eyebrows with the volume effect by the intersecting segment thereby imparting the curling effect to the eyebrows.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic brush for applying a mascara cosmetic to eyelashes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally known cosmetic brushes for applying mascara cosmetics to eyelashes are generally screw brushes in which fibers constituting a bristle are sandwiched between wires, and then the wires are twisted and fixed to be molded. Widely known and used. As the fibers constituting the bristles, hollow fibers, wavy fibers, or fibers made into fibers have been proposed and put into practical use. As for the shape of the entire brush, in addition to an ordinary cylindrical shape, a tapered shape whose diameter decreases toward the tip, a curled shape, and the like have been proposed. Other than screw brushes, comb-shaped ones, screw-shaped ones, etc. have also been proposed. Cosmetic brushes for applying these various mascara cosmetics all have a volume effect,
It aims at some effects such as curling effect, easiness of judgment, and ease of application to the outer and inner corners of the eyes, but it is not known so far that it can satisfy a plurality of effects at the same time. In particular, there is no cosmetic brush that can satisfy both the volume effect and the curl effect at the same time.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is capable of simultaneously achieving both volume effect and curl effect on eyelashes when applying a mascara cosmetic.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the means adopted by the present invention is such that the fibrous coating portion forming the bristle of the brush extends radially from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion. It is characterized in that it is composed of a portion and an intersecting portion extending in a direction intersecting with the extending portion, and that the intersecting portion is used to apply the cosmetic material to hair with a volume effect and to bring about a curling effect.

The maximum height L ₁ of the extending portion and the minimum height L ₂ of the intersecting portion are in a relationship of L ₁ ≧ L ₂ .

It is characterized in that the extending portion is formed in a linear shape.

It is characterized in that the intersecting portion is plate-like or spherical.

It is characterized in that the intersecting portion is single or plural.

The height positions of the plurality of intersecting portions are different from each other.

The brush portion is characterized in that the brush portion is formed around the shaft portion in a cylindrical shape, a tapered shape, or radially from a part of the shaft portion.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. With reference to FIG. 1, a cosmetic brush of the present invention comprises a plurality of fibrous application portions that form bristles of a brush for holding a mascara and applying it to the eyelashes, and a shaft portion for supporting the application portions. The coating portion (1) has a base portion fixed to the shaft portion (2) and an extending portion (1a) extending in the radial direction from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion, and the extending portion (1a).
It has a crossing portion (1b) extending from the tip of the crossing portion to the extension portion (1a), and the presence of the crossing portion (1b) enables the application of the mascara cosmetic with a volume. It is possible to curl the eyelashes.
Maximum height from the shank center of the extended portion of the coating part (1) (1a) and (L _1), the minimum height from the shank center of intersection (1b) and (L ₂₎ is, L ₁ The relationship is ≧ L ₂ . Also,
The extending portion (1a) is preferably formed in a linear shape. Since the mascara cosmetic can be applied to the intersecting portion (1b) so as to hook the eyelashes, the cosmetic is applied not only to the lower surface of the eyelashes but also to the upper surface of the eyelashes, and a volume effect can be obtained to make the eyelashes look thicker. Moreover, the effect of curling the eyelashes is also achieved by hooking the eyelashes.

The shape of the intersecting portion (1b) may be any shape shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, and is not limited to these shapes. 2 shows an L-shaped crossing portion, and FIG. 3 shows a semi-circular curled shape. The intersecting portion (1b) does not have to be formed in only one direction from the extending portion (1a), but may be formed in a plurality of different directions as shown in FIG. 4, or as shown in FIG. It may be formed in a plate shape from the tip of the protruding portion (1a). Furthermore, FIG.
It may be formed in a spherical shape as shown in FIG. In short, the intersection
The shape (1b) may be any shape as long as it extends laterally from the extending portion (1a) and can catch the eyelashes. Therefore, FIG.
6 to 6 may be combined, or a plurality of shapes may be formed with different heights.

The outer shape of the brush is most generally the cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 7, but it is needless to say that it is not limited to this, and the tapered shape shown in FIG. 8 or a combination of the cylindrical shape and the tapered shape is used. It may be formed into a toothbrush shape in one radial direction of the shaft portion (2) as shown in FIG. The coating part (1) is formed of a soft resin such as polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, nylon, polyethylene. The shaft portion (2) is preferably formed of the same material as that of the coating portion (1) and integrally molded, but the invention is not limited to this.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the fibrous coating portion forming the bristles of the brush has an extending portion extending radially from the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion and an intersecting portion extending in a direction intersecting with the extending portion. Since it is composed of parts, it is possible to apply cosmetics by hooking the eyelashes at the intersecting parts,
The cosmetic can be applied not only to the lower surface of the eyelashes but also to the upper surface thereof to obtain a volume effect, and at the same time, the effect of curling the eyelashes can be achieved.
