Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、睫毛に癖付けを行うための睫毛成形具に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来から、例えば、特開２００１−１９０３２１号公報に開示されているように、睫毛に癖付けを行うための睫毛成形具として、睫毛の一方を保持する規定部と、規定部に対して相対的に接離自在に設けられ規定部との間で睫毛を挟み込む第１挟持部と、睫毛を規定部と第１挟持部とで挟持した状態で、突出した睫毛を規定部側へ押し付ける第２挟持部と、第１挟持部及び第２挟持部を移動せしめる操作ハンドルとを備えたものが知られている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記睫毛成形具では、規定部及び第１挟持部による睫毛挟持動作の邪魔にならないように第２挟持部を動作させることは使い勝手上必要不可欠であるため、睫毛挟持前に規定部と第１挟持部との間に睫毛の挿し入れが可能になる程度の間隔を有し、第２挟持部は第１挟持部よりも規定部から離れた位置にあり、かつ、第１挟持部及び規定部が睫毛を挟持した後は、第２挟持部が規定部及び第１挟持部が睫毛を挟持する部分を通り越すような構造が採られる。しかし、そのためには、第２挟持部を移動させる操作ハンドルの操作量が必然的に長くなって使いづらく、睫毛成形具をコンパクトに構成することができないという問題がある。
【０００４】
本発明は、上述した問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、少ない操作ハンドルの操作量によって大きな第２挟持部の移動量が得られて使い勝手が良く、コンパクトに構成することができる睫毛成形具を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために請求項１に記載の発明は、睫毛の一方を保持する規定部と、規定部に対して相対的に接離自在に設けられて規定部との間に睫毛を挟み込む第１挟持部と、睫毛を規定部と挟持部で挟み込んだ状態で睫毛の突出した毛先側の部分を規定部側へ押し付ける第２挟持部と、第１挟持部と第２挟持部とを移動せしめる操作ハンドルとを備えた睫毛成形具において、第２挟持部は第１挟持部上に設けられて第１挟持部に伴って移動し、第２挟持部には操作ハンドルの動作を直接伝達する伝達部から更なる駆動力が付与される構成としたものである。
【０００６】
また、請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の睫毛成形具において、前記伝達部は、第１挟持部の移動に伴って回転するように第１挟持部に設けられた歯車が回転駆動力を第２挟持部に付与するものである。
【０００７】
また、請求項３に記載の発明は、請求項２に記載の睫毛成形具において、前記伝達部は、前記歯車からなるピニオンギアと、前記第１挟持部の移動時に前記歯車と噛合するように成形具本体に形成された第１のラックと、前記歯車に噛合して当該歯車の回転駆動力が伝達されるように前記第２挟持部に設けられた第２のラックとで構成されるものである。
【０００８】
これらの構成によれば、第２挟持部の移動量は、第１挟持部の移動動作と、伝達部から付与される駆動力とを合わせたものになるので、第２挟持部の移動量は操作ハンドル操作量よりも大きくなる。そのため、操作ハンドルの操作量が少なくても第２挟持部の移動量を大きくすることができるので、使い勝手を向上させることができると共に、当該成形具をコンパクトに構成することができる。
【０００９】
また、請求項４に記載の発明は、請求項３に記載の睫毛成形具において、前記ピニオンギアの歯数を、第１のラックに噛合する側と第２のラックに噛合する側とで異ならせたものである。
【００１０】
この構成によれば、第１のラックに噛合する側と第２のラックに噛合する側とでピニオンギアの歯数を異ならせることによって、操作ハンドルの操作量に対する第２挟持部の移動量を細かく調整することが可能になる。
【００１１】
また、請求項５に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の睫毛成形具において、前記伝達部は、成形具本体に回転軸が設けられ、前記第１挟持部及び第２挟持部の端部に連結されたリンク部材であって、第１挟持部との連結部を第２挟持部との連結部よりも前記回転軸側に設け、操作ハンドルによって第１挟持部が移動した時に第１挟持部よりも第２挟持部の移動量を大きくすることによって、前記第２挟持部への更なる駆動力を付与する構成としたものである。
【００１２】
この構成によれば、操作ハンドルの操作により第１挟持部を移動させてリンク部材を回転軸回りに回転させると、第２挟持部の移動量が第１挟持部の移動量及び操作ハンドルの操作量よりも大きくなるので、使い勝手を向上させることができると共に、当該成形具をコンパクトに構成することができる。
【００１３】
また、請求項６に記載の発明は、請求項１乃至請求項５のいずれかに記載の睫毛成形具において、前記第１挟持部を、前記規定部に接する先端部と、前記第２挟持部及び伝達部に連結された本体部の２部材に分割した構成とし、これら両部材を弾性体を介して連結したものである。
【００１４】
この構成によれば、第１挟持部の先端部は本体部に対して伸縮自在に動くので、操作ハンドルの操作によって第１挟持部が移動して先端部が規定部に接した後も、操作ハンドルの操作に伴って第１挟持部の本体部及び第２挟持部は規定部側へ移動可能となる。そのため、第１挟持部の先端部が規定部に接した後、第２挟持部が当該第１挟持部の先端部と規定部との接触部分を追い越して更に成形具先端方向に移動する動作が可能になる。これにより、第２挟持部を、第１挟持部と規定部とで睫毛を挟持する際に邪魔にならないように移動させることができる。
【００１５】
また、請求項７に記載の発明は、請求項６に記載の睫毛成形具において、前記操作ハンドルの操作により前記第１挟持部が前記規定部に接触して前記弾性体が縮んだ時に、本体部及び先端部の剛体部分同士が接するように構成したものである。
【００１６】
この構成によれば、操作ハンドルに加えた力が、伝達部を介して第１挟持部の本体部から上記剛体部分同士の接触部分を通じて先端部に伝わり、操作ハンドルに加えた力が第１挟持部の先端部と規定部による睫毛挟持部分に効率よく伝達される。これにより、操作ハンドルに加えた力が効率よく睫毛を挟む力となり、睫毛にカールを付けやすくなる。
【００１７】
また、請求項８に記載の発明は、請求項１乃至請求項７のいずれかに記載の睫毛成形具において、前記規定部、第１挟持部又は第２挟持部の少なくとも一つにヒータを内蔵したものである。
【００１８】
この構成によれば、規定部、第１挟持部又は第２挟持部のいずれかに内蔵したヒータから付与される熱によって、睫毛にカールが付けやすくなり、この睫毛カールを長時間維持することができる。
【００１９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。
【００２０】
睫毛成形具１０は、図１乃至図５に示すように、睫毛の一方を保持するための規定部１と、この規定部１に対して相対的に接離自在に設けられて規定部１との間に睫毛を挟み込む第１挟持部２と、睫毛を規定部１と第１挟持部２とで挟み込んだ状態で睫毛の突出した毛先側の部分を規定部１側へ押し付ける第２挟持部３と、第１挟持部２と第２挟持部とを移動せしめる操作ハンドル４とを備えたものである。
【００２１】
睫毛成形具１０の成形具本体１７には、手で掴むことができるように上下に延びる細長の把持部１８が設けられ、図１（ａ）に示す把持部１８の背面側には上下方向に移動自在な操作ハンドル４が設けられている。成形具本体１７背面側の先端両側には、図１の上方に延びる支柱部１９が突設されており、この両支柱部１９間に規定部１が架設されている。成形具本体１７上部と両支柱部１９と規定部１とに囲まれた部分は窓部２０となっている。図１に示すように、規定部１は目の形状に沿うように湾曲しており、正面視で中央部が上となる形状とされている。
【００２２】
成形具本体１７には、第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３が各々規定部１方向への移動自在に内装されている。第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３はそれぞれ成形具本体１７の先端部に設けられた開口から窓部２０に突出し、第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３がそれぞれ窓部２０内を規定部１側に移動して規定部１に押し当たるようになっている。規定部１との接触部では、第１挟持部２よりも第２挟持部３が図１（ｂ）において右側にずれるように配置されている。
【００２３】
第１挟持部２は、目の形状に沿うように湾曲した形状とされ、正面視で中央部が規定部１側に近づく形状とされている。睫毛成形具１０を瞼に密着させた時に、湾曲した規定部１が睫毛の上側に位置し、上記窓部２０内に睫毛を挿し入れて、規定部１の下部と第１挟持部２とで睫毛の根元を挟持するようになっている。第１挟持部２には、図３の手前側から奥行方向に延びるようにして側面視Ｖ字状の溝２７が形成されており、規定部１の下部には当該溝２７が嵌まり込む突部２８が形成されている。この第１挟持部２のＶ字状の溝２７と突部２８とで睫毛の根元から中間部を挟持することによって、睫毛の根元から中間部が癖付けされる。図３に示すように、上記溝２７の溝底部分は鋭角でなく丸みを持った形状とされ、溝２７と突部２８とで睫毛を挟持することにより、睫毛が丸みを持った形状に癖付けされるようになっている。
【００２４】
第２挟持部３も、目の形状に沿うように湾曲した形状とされ、正面視で中央部が上となり、かつ、側面視で中央部が手前となる形状とされている。規定部１と第２挟持部３とで睫毛の根元を挟持するようになっている。第２挟持部３には、図３の手前側から奥行方向に延びるようにして側面視Ｖ字状の溝２９が形成されており、規定部１の上部には当該溝２９が嵌まり込む突部３０が形成されている。この第２挟持部３のＶ字状の溝２９と突部３０とで睫の根元から中間部を挟持することによって、睫毛の根元から中間部が癖付けされる。なお、この溝２９の形状も、図３に示すように、その溝底部分は鋭角でなく丸みを持った形状とされている。
【００２５】
また、規定部１を金属やプラスチック材料等の剛性を有する材料で構成し、第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３が規定部１に接する部分をゴム等の弾性体で形成すると、睫毛の規定部１への押圧を高めることができ、より容易に睫毛の癖付けができる。
【００２６】
第１挟持部２の内部にはニクロム線等をコイル状に巻いたヒータ１２が内蔵され、第２挟持部３内部にもニクロム線等をコイル状に巻いたヒータ１３が内蔵されている。これらヒータ１２、１３は成形具本体１７内の乾電池（不図示）と接続されており、睫毛を加熱して容易に且つ確実に癖付けができるようになっている。なお、規定部１内にもニクロム線等をコイル状に巻いたヒータを設けてもよく、その場合は、睫毛の癖付けがより容易に且つ確実に行える。
【００２７】
第１挟持部２は、その後端部が操作ハンドル４と連結されており、操作ハンドル４を成形具本体１７に対してスライド移動させると、当該操作ハンドル４の移動動作に伴って第１挟持部２も同じ方向に移動するようになっている。第１挟持部２には、ピニオンギア５が回転自在に設けられており、このピニオンギア５は成形具本体１７内壁部に設けられたラック６（第１のラック）と噛み合い、第１挟持部２の移動動作に合わせて回転するようになっている。操作ハンドル４の突部４１と成形具本体１７とは張力をもった引きバネ２５により連結されている。
【００２８】
第２挟持部３は、第１挟持部２の上部に取り付けられており、第１挟持部２が移動すると共に第２挟持部３も移動するようになっている。第２挟持部３が第１挟持部２に対向する部分には、第１挟持部２に設けられたピニオンギア５と噛み合うラック７（第２のラック）が設けられている。これらピニオンギア５及びラック６，７が、第２挟持部３に操作ハンドル４の動作を直接伝達する伝達部を構成する。
【００２９】
図３に示すように、操作ハンドル４、第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３が成形具本体１７の最も尾端側に位置する初期位置状態では、ピニオンギア５は、ラック６の後端位置（図３で右端）に噛合し、ラック７の先端位置（図３で左側）に噛合するように設定されている。この状態から操作ハンドル４を規定部１側にスライド移動させると、第１挟持部２の移動動作に伴ってピニオンギア５がラック６との噛合により回転し、このピニオンギア５の回転駆動力がラック７から第２挟持部３に伝達される。そのため、操作ハンドル４を操作したときの第２挟持部３の動作は、第１挟持部２の移動動作と、ピニオンギア５から伝達される回転駆動力とを足したものとなり、第２挟持部３の移動量は操作ハンドル４の操作量よりも増大する（本実施形態では、第２挟持部３の移動量は操作ハンドル４の操作量の略倍となる）。この結果、少ない操作ハンドル４の操作量であっても、大きな第２挟持部の移動量を得ることができるので、睫毛成形具１０の使い勝手を向上させることができると共に、当該成形具１０をコンパクトに構成することができる（本実施形態では、操作ハンドル４の操作量は第２挟持部３の移動量の略半分で足りる）。
【００３０】
上記構成でなる睫毛成形具１０による睫毛の癖付けは次のようにして行う。まず、成形具本体１７の把持部１８を手で掴んで規定部１を瞼に当てて規定部１を睫毛の上側に位置させ、この状態で操作ハンドル４を指により規定部１側に移動させる。操作ハンドル４を規定部１側に移動させると、第１挟持部２が規定部１側に移動し、第１挟持部２が規定部１の後部に睫毛の付け根から中間部を介して押し当たる。操作ハンドル４を上記のように移動させると、第２挟持部３も規定部１側に移動する。操作ハンドル４の移動に伴って、図３の状態から図４のように第１挟持部２と第２挟持部３とが協働して上昇し、第１挟持部２は規定部１との間で睫毛の根元から中間部を挟持した状態となる。そして、これ以上操作ハンドル４を移動させると、押しバネ２６が縮んで第１挟持部２は規定部１に当接した状態に保持された状態のままで、第２挟持部３のみが更に規定部１側に移動して、図５のように、第２挟持部３が第１挟持部２及び規定部１が睫毛を挟持する部分を通過して睫毛の中間部から先端部を押し、規定部１の突部３０との間で当該睫毛部分が挟持される。
【００３１】
このようにして、第１挟持部２と規定部１とによって睫毛の根元から中間部が挟持され、第２挟持部３と規定部１とによって睫毛中間部から先端部が挟持された状態となり、各ヒータ１２，１３から睫毛に熱が付与されることによって、睫毛全体が癖付けされる。このように、ユーザは成形具本体１７の把持部１８を手で掴んで操作ハンドル４を指で規定部１側に移動させると、その後、操作ハンドル４から指を離すだけで睫毛全体に滑らかな曲線の癖付けをすることができる。
【００３２】
なお、本発明は上記実施の形態の構成に限られず種々の変形が可能である。例えば、ピニオンギア５の歯数を、成形具本体１７側のラック６に噛み合う側と、第２挟持部３のラック７に噛み合う側とで変えて構成してもよい。例えば、図６（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、ピニオンギア５０のラック６との噛合部５０ａの半径を小さくし、ラック７に噛合部５０ｂの半径を大きく形成したり、図７（ａ）〜（ｃ）に示すように、ラック６又はラック７に噛み合うピニオンギア５２として同軸回転するそれぞれ別個のピニオンギアを設け、ラック６に噛み合うピニオンギアの径を小さくし、ラック７に噛み合うピニオンギアの径を大きくするようにしてもよい。このように成形具本体１７側のラック６に噛合する側と、第２挟持部のラック７に噛合する側とでピニオンギアの歯数を異ならせることによって、操作ハンドル４の操作量に対する第２挟持部３の移動量を細かく調整することが可能になる。
【００３３】
また、ピニオンギア５及びラック６，７に代えて、図８（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、成形具本体１７に回転軸８１が設けられ、第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３の後端部に連結されたレバー部材８（リンク部材）によって、操作ハンドル４の動作を第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３に直接伝達する構成としてもよい。このレバー部材８は、第１挟持部２の後端部に設けられた突部２１に係合する長孔８２と、第２挟持部３の後端部に設けられた突部３１に係合する長孔８３とを有する。長孔８３は、長孔８３内での突部３１移動量を長孔８２内での突部３１の移動量よりも多くするために長孔８２よりも長く形成されている。さらに、第１挟持部２側の長孔８２が第２挟持部３側の長孔８３よりも回転軸８１側に設けられている。この構成において、操作ハンドル４の操作により第１挟持部２を規定部１側に移動させてレバー部材８を回転軸回りに回転させると、第２挟持部３に操作ハンドル４の操作による駆動力に加えて、更にレバー部材８による駆動力が付与され、第２挟持部３の移動量が第１挟持部２の移動量よりも大きくなる。これにより、使い勝手を向上させることができると共に、当該成形具１０をコンパクトに構成することができる。
【００３４】
また、図３乃至図５に示すように、第１挟持部２は、規定部１に接する先端部２２と、第２挟持部３が取り付けられてピニオンギア５が噛合する本体部２３との２部材から構成されている。これら先端部２２及び本体部２３は、圧縮コイルバネ等からなる押しバネ２６（弾性体）を介して連結されており、先端部２２は伸縮自在に動くようになっている。そのため、第１挟持部２が規定部１に接して移動が停止した後も、操作ハンドル４、本体部２３及び第２挟持部３は規定部１側に移動する。その結果、操作ハンドル４を操作すると、まず第１挟持部２の先端部２２が規定部１に接し、その後に第２挟持部３の先端部分が第１挟持部２の先端部２２と規定部１との当接部を追い越して規定部１の突部３０に接するように動作する。これにより、第１挟持部２と規定部１とで睫毛を挟む際に、第２挟持部３の動作が邪魔になることがないので使い勝手がよい。
【００３５】
さらに、図５に示すように、第１挟持部２の先端部２２が規定部１に当接して本体部２３が更に規定部１側に移動して、押しバネ２６が縮んだときには、本体部２３と先端部２２の剛体同士が接するようにしておけば（図５のＡ部分参照）、この剛体同士が接する状態となった後は、操作ハンドル４に加えた力が押しバネ２６に吸収されることなく効率よく睫毛を挟む力となるので、睫毛にしっかりとカールを付けることができる。
【００３６】
また、上記実施形態では、第１挟持部２と第２挟持部３の双方にヒータ１２，１３を内蔵しているが、第１挟持部２又は第２挟持部３のいずれか一方のみに内蔵するものでもよく、また、規定部１のみにヒータを内蔵してもよい。また、上記実施形態では、規定部１を剛体により構成した例を示したが、規定部１（特に第１挟持部２及び第２挟持部３に接する部分）を弾性体としてもよい。
【００３７】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、第２挟持部の移動量は、第１挟持部の移動動作と、伝達部から付与される駆動力とを合わせたものになるので、第２挟持部の移動量は操作ハンドル操作量よりも大きくなる。そのため、操作ハンドルの操作量が少なくても第２挟持部の移動量を大きくすることができるので、使い勝手を向上させることができると共に、当該成形具をコンパクトに構成することができる。
【００３８】
また、ピニオンギアの歯数を、第１挟持部に設けられた第１のラックに噛合する側と、第２挟持部に設けられた第２のラックに噛合する側とで異ならせるようにすれば、操作ハンドルの操作量に対する第２挟持部の移動量を細かく調整することが可能になる。
【００３９】
また、伝達部を、成形具本体に回転軸が設けられ、第１挟持部及び第２挟持部の端部に連結されたリンク部材であって、第１挟持部との連結部を第２挟持部との連結部よりも回転軸側に設け、操作ハンドルによって第１挟持部が移動した時に第１挟持部よりも第２挟持部の移動量を大きくすることによって、前記第２挟持部への更なる駆動力を付与する構成とした場合は、操作ハンドルの操作により第１挟持部を移動させてリンク部材を回転軸回りに回転させると、第２挟持部の移動量が第１挟持部の移動量及び操作ハンドルの操作量よりも大きくなるので、使い勝手を向上させることができると共に、当該成形具をコンパクトに構成することができる。
【００４０】
また、第１挟持部を、規定部に接する先端部と、第２挟持部及び伝達部に連結された本体部との２部材に分割した構成とし、これら両部材を弾性体を介して連結した構成とした場合は、第１挟持部の先端部は本体部に対して伸縮自在に動くので、操作ハンドルの操作によって第１挟持部が移動して先端部が規定部に接した後も、操作ハンドルの操作に伴って第１挟持部の本体部及び第２挟持部は規定部側へ移動可能となる。そのため、第１挟持部の先端部が規定部に接した後、第２挟持部が当該第１挟持部の先端部と規定部との接触部分を追い越して更に成形具先端方向に移動する動作が可能になる。これにより、第２挟持部を、第１挟持部と規定部とで睫毛を挟持する際に邪魔にならないように移動させることができる。
【００４１】
また、操作ハンドルの操作により第１挟持部が規定部に接触して弾性体が縮んだ時に、本体部及び先端部の剛体部分同士が接するように構成した場合は、操作ハンドルに加えた力が、伝達部を介して第１挟持部の本体部から上記剛体部分同士の接触部分を通じて先端部に伝わり、操作ハンドルに加えた力が第１挟持部の先端部と規定部による睫毛挟持部分に効率よく伝達される。これにより、操作ハンドルに加えた力が効率よく睫毛を挟む力となり、睫毛にカールを付けやすくなる。
【００４２】
また、規定部、第１挟持部又は第２挟持部の少なくとも一つにヒータを内蔵するようにすれば、規定部、第１挟持部又は第２挟持部に内蔵したヒータから付与される熱によって、睫毛にカールが付けやすくなり、この睫毛カールを長時間維持することができる。

The distal end portion 22 and the main body portion 23 are connected via a pressing spring 26 (elastic body) formed of a compression coil spring or the like, and the distal end portion 22 is configured to move in a stretchable manner. Therefore, even after the first holding portion 2 comes into contact with the defining portion 1 and stops moving, the operation handle 4, the main body portion 23, and the second holding portion 3 move to the defining portion 1 side. As a result, when the operating handle 4 is operated, first, the distal end portion 22 of the first holding portion 2 comes into contact with the defining portion 1, and then the distal end portion of the second holding portion 3 comes into contact with the leading end portion 22 of the first holding portion 2 and the defining portion 1. It operates so as to pass the contact portion with the first portion 1 and come into contact with the projection 30 of the defining portion 1. Accordingly, when the eyelashes are sandwiched between the first holding portion 2 and the defining portion 1, the operation of the second holding portion 3 does not hinder the user's eyelash, so that the usability is good.
[0035]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, when the distal end portion 22 of the first holding portion 2 comes into contact with the defining portion 1 and the main body portion 23 further moves toward the defining portion 1 and the pressing spring 26 is contracted, If the rigid bodies 23 and the tip 22 are in contact with each other (see the portion A in FIG. 5), after the rigid bodies come into contact with each other, the force applied to the operation handle 4 is absorbed by the push spring 26. It can effectively pinch the eyelashes without causing the eyelashes to be firmly curled.
[0036]
In the above-described embodiment, the heaters 12 and 13 are built in both the first holding section 2 and the second holding section 3. However, the heaters 12 and 13 are built in only one of the first holding section 2 and the second holding section 3. The heater may be built in only the defining part 1. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the defining portion 1 is formed of a rigid body is shown, but the defining portion 1 (particularly, a portion in contact with the first holding portion 2 and the second holding portion 3) may be an elastic body.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the moving amount of the second holding portion is the sum of the moving operation of the first holding portion and the driving force applied from the transmission portion. The movement amount is larger than the operation amount of the operation handle. Therefore, even if the operation amount of the operation handle is small, the movement amount of the second holding portion can be increased, so that the usability can be improved and the molding tool can be made compact.
[0038]
Further, the number of teeth of the pinion gear is set to be different between the side meshing with the first rack provided on the first holding section and the side meshing with the second rack provided on the second holding section. This makes it possible to finely adjust the amount of movement of the second holding portion with respect to the amount of operation of the operation handle.
[0039]
Further, the transmitting portion is a link member provided with a rotating shaft in the molding tool main body and connected to the ends of the first holding portion and the second holding portion, and the connecting portion with the first holding portion is held in the second holding portion. The second holding portion is provided closer to the rotation shaft than the connection portion with the second holding portion, and the amount of movement of the second holding portion is larger than that of the first holding portion when the first holding portion is moved by the operation handle. In the case where the configuration is such that a further driving force is applied, when the first holding portion is moved by operating the operation handle to rotate the link member around the rotation axis, the movement amount of the second holding portion is reduced by the first holding portion. Since the amount of movement is greater than the amount of movement and the amount of operation of the operation handle, the usability can be improved and the molding tool can be made compact.
[0040]
In addition, the first holding portion is configured to be divided into two members, a tip portion in contact with the defining portion, and a main body portion connected to the second holding portion and the transmission portion, and these two members are connected via an elastic body. In the case of the configuration, since the distal end of the first holding portion moves telescopically with respect to the main body, even after the first holding portion is moved by operating the operation handle and the distal end comes into contact with the defining portion, the operation is continued. With the operation of the handle, the main body portion and the second holding portion of the first holding portion can be moved to the defining portion side. For this reason, after the tip of the first holding portion comes into contact with the defining portion, the operation of the second holding portion overtaking the contact portion between the tip of the first holding portion and the defining portion and further moving in the forming tool tip direction is performed. Will be possible. Accordingly, the second holding portion can be moved so as not to be in the way when the eyelashes are held between the first holding portion and the defining portion.
[0041]
In addition, when the first holding portion contacts the defining portion and the elastic body contracts due to the operation of the operating handle, the main body portion and the rigid body portion at the tip end are configured to contact each other. The force applied to the operation handle is transmitted from the main body of the first holding portion to the tip portion through the contact portion between the rigid portions via the transmitting portion, and the force applied to the operating portion is efficiently applied to the eyelash holding portion by the tip portion and the defining portion of the first holding portion. Well communicated. Thereby, the force applied to the operation handle becomes a force for efficiently pinching the eyelashes, and the eyelashes are easily curled.
[0042]
Further, if a heater is incorporated in at least one of the defining portion, the first sandwiching portion or the second sandwiching portion, heat generated from the heater incorporated in the defining portion, the first sandwiching portion or the second sandwiching portion causes In addition, the eyelashes can be easily curled, and the eyelash curls can be maintained for a long time.
