Description

【0001】
【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は化粧道具の一つで、睫毛にマスカラ液を塗布するためのマスカラブラシに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般にマスカラブラシは、マスカラ液を収納するマスカラ容器本体に指し込んだ状態で販売さている。従来のマスカラブラシは、ブラシ部、マスカラ棒、キャップで構成されており、これらが一直線状に配置されているのものが一般的である。
【0003】
一直線状に配置されているマスカラブラシは、マスカラ容器本体に収納する上では扱いやすいが、マスカラ液を睫毛に塗布する上では扱いにくい点があり、それを改良するための出願がなされている。例えば、マスカラ棒の先端を30度前後傾斜させてブラシ部を装着したものとしては、実開昭55―136409が出願されている。
【0004】
さらに手間をかけないで簡単に睫毛にマスカラ液を塗布する事が出来るマスカラブラシの提案としては、マスカラブラシを円弧状にした特開2001―286340が出願されている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の直線状のマスカラブラシは、睫毛にマスカラ液を塗る際に、ブラシ部のところだけが睫毛に接触すればいいのであるが、直線状のマスカラ棒までにもマスカラ液が付着しているために、ブラシ部以外の余分な部分に付着したマスカラ液が、頬骨、鼻柱、髪の毛等に付着することが多かった。又ブラシ部は、ほぼ目の横幅の長さと同じで、それより長いマスカラ棒が目の周りの頬など凹凸部分に接触してその部分を汚すなど扱いにくかった。
【0006】
直線状のマスカラブラシを改良した、実開昭55−136409の考案は、ブラシ部を30度傾斜させることにより直線状のものより、マスカラ棒と頬骨との間隔を広く保つことが出来るので、頬骨、鼻、髪の毛等にマスカラ液が付着し難くなった。しかし30度前後ぐらいの傾斜では凹凸の多い目の周辺などでは、睫毛に塗るときにはマスカラ棒が、邪魔になって塗りにくかった。
【0007】
円弧状のブラシは特開2001―286340があるが、これは瞼のカーブに沿わせる為にブラシの形状を円弧状にしたもので、一見使いやすそうであるが、瞼のカーブは個人個人で異なっているし、同じ人でも左右の目の曲率も異っている。例えばカーブのきつい目頭や、目じりにブラシ部の先端を合わせて塗布しようとすると、睫毛に接触していないブラシ部が睫毛以外のところにマスカラ液を塗布したりしたりするし、又瞼のカーブに合わせて円弧状のブラシを動かして睫毛の隅々まで塗ろうとすると、マスカラ棒が目の横幅より外側で大きく動かすことになり、不必要な部分に塗布してしまう危険が多かった。
本発明はこれら従来のマスカラブラシではやりにくい点を解決することを課題としている。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1の本発明のマスカラブラシはマスカラ棒とブラシ部との間にほぼ90度に曲げることが出来る屈折部を持つことを特徴とする。
【0009】
請求項2の本発明は、請求項1の屈折部がほぼ90度に曲がるように記憶させた形状記憶材料であることを特徴とする。
【0010】
請求項1及び請求項2の本発明のマスカラブラシは容器本体に挿入しているときには、ほぼ直線状に収納されてマスカラ液に浸されているが、マスカラブラシを容器本体から取り出すときに、請求項1の本発明では容器本体の挿入口でマスカラブラシのキャップを持つ手でマスカラブラシの屈折部に力を加えて、ブラシ部とマスカラ棒との角度をほぼ90度に曲げることが出来ることを特徴としている。また、請求項2の本発明では請求項1の屈折部がほぼ90度に曲がるように記憶させた形状記憶材料を使用するので、マスカラブラシを容器本体から取り出すと、ブラシ部とマスカラ棒との角度は記憶させておいた90度になる。
【0011】
このように、本発明のマスカラブラシはマスカラ棒に付着したマスカラ液によって目の周辺を汚さないようにするにするために、又、睫毛の隅々まで塗りやすくするために、使用時にブラシとマスカラ棒がほぼ90度となることを特徴としている。
【0012】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を実施例に基づき添付図面を参照して以下詳細に説明する。
【0013】
図1は、本発明のマスカラブラシを示す図であり、図4は本発明のマスカラブラシの屈折部3を容器本体10の挿入口10aで、ほぼ90度に曲げている状態を示す図である。
本発明の第一実施例は、図1に示したが、マスカラ棒2は合成樹脂製で外径が4mmの中空管状の棒であり、ブラシ部4との間に設けられた屈折部3は蛇腹構造とすることにより、その部分で容易に曲げる事が出来るものである。図4に示すマスカラ棒2を、マスカラ液11の入っている容器本体10から取り出す際に、挿入口10aでブラシ部4に力を加えて、屈折部3でほぼ90度に曲げることにより、マスカラ棒2に対してブラシ部4をほぼ90度に曲げることが出来る。
【0014】
本発明のマスカラブラシは、睫毛にマスカラ液を塗る際に、ブラシ部4がマスカラ棒2に対して、ほぼ90度の関係になっている。
【0015】
睫毛にマスカラ液を塗布しやすいマスカラブラシの条件としては、睫毛に接触するブラシ部3の長さは2cm未満が好適で、それ以上長くなると塗りづらくなる。
【0016】
図3は本発明の使用状況を示す図である。
本発明の使用状況を図3に示したが、睫毛全体にわたってマスカラ液を塗布させるために、キャップ1を握る手を動かしながらブラシ部4のマスカラ液を睫毛の隅々まで塗布する。本発明のマスカラブラシを用いる場合は、ブラシ部4を瞼のカーブに沿わせて睫毛の隅々まで塗布するには、マスカラブラシのキャップ1を操作して、睫毛の端から端までブラシ部4を動かし塗布するが、マスカラブラシを動かす範囲は、目の両端から垂直に下ろした線Aと線Bの平行線の範囲にほぼ収まるので、従来のマスカラブラシのように塗布する位置によってマスカラブラシを持ち替えたり、マスカラ棒2が鼻柱と交差したり、睫毛の上方から塗布せねばならないことも無くなり、不用意にマスカラ液が鼻柱や、頬、髪の毛等に付着することを防ぐことが出来る。
【0017】
また、キャップ1を持つ指以外は頬にあてがうことが出来るのでマスカラブラシの動きを安定させることが出来、慣れない人でも安心して容易に塗ることが出来る。
【0018】
さらに、瞼の中心部分の睫毛に対しては、本発明のマスカラブラシは、ブラシ部4をほぼ垂直に押し上げることが出来るので、睫毛の両隅から全体にわたって、生え際から毛先まで充分カールさせることが出来る。
【0019】
本発明の第一実施例は屈折部3に、蛇腹の機能を利用する方法をこれまでに説明してきたが、容器本体10の挿入口10aなどを利用してマスカラ棒2とブラシ部4の角度をほぼ直角に曲げることが出来る材料であれば合成樹脂だけでなく金属も利用する事が出来るが、繰り返し曲げたり伸ばしたりするので、耐久性のある材料と構造を選択するのがよい。
【0020】
請求項2の本発明は、第一実施例の屈折部3に形状記憶材料を用いたもので、第一実施例のように90度曲げるための面倒な作業をしなくてもよいように、屈折部3にあらかじめほぼ90度に曲げて記憶させた形状記憶材料を用いたマスカラブラシであり、その作用及び使用上の取り扱いは第一実施例で説明した通りである。
【発明の効果】
【0021】
本発明の試作品を実際に数人の女性に試してもらった結果、マスカラ棒2などに付着したマスカラ液で目の周辺を汚すこともなく、目の両隅まで奇麗に塗布出来て、ブラシ部4が睫毛を押し上げる感じになるので睫毛のカール状態が長く持続すると喜ばれた。さらに、一人一人違う睫毛のカーブにも対応できると、大変喜ばれた。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mascara brush for applying mascara liquid to eyelashes, which is one of makeup tools.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, mascara brushes are sold in a state of being inserted into a mascara container main body that stores mascara liquid. A conventional mascara brush is composed of a brush part, a mascara bar, and a cap, and these are generally arranged in a straight line.
[0003]
Mascara brushes arranged in a straight line are easy to handle when housed in a mascara container body, but are difficult to apply when applying mascara liquid to eyelashes, and an application has been filed to improve it. For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 55-136409 has been filed as an application of a mascara rod in which the tip of the mascara rod is inclined about 30 degrees and a brush part is mounted.
[0004]
Further, as a proposal of a mascara brush that can easily apply a mascara liquid to eyelashes without any trouble, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-286340 in which the mascara brush is formed in an arc shape is filed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
With a conventional linear mascara brush, when applying mascara liquid to the eyelashes, only the brush part needs to contact the eyelashes, but since the mascara liquid adheres even to the linear mascara stick In addition, the mascara liquid adhering to an extra portion other than the brush portion often adhered to the cheekbones, nose column, hair, and the like. Also, the brush portion was almost the same as the width of the eyes, and a longer mascara stick was difficult to handle, for example, by contacting the irregularities such as the cheeks around the eyes and soiling the portions.
[0006]
The invention of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 55-136409, in which a straight mascara brush is improved, can maintain the space between the mascara bar and the cheekbone wider than the straight one by inclining the brush part by 30 degrees. The mascara liquid did not easily adhere to the nose, hair, etc. However, at an inclination of about 30 degrees, the mascara stick hindered the application of the eyelashes to the eyelashes around the eyes having many irregularities.
[0007]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-286340 discloses an arc-shaped brush. The brush is shaped like an arc in order to conform to the curve of the eyelid. They are different, and even the same person has different curvatures for the left and right eyes. For example, if you try to apply the tip of the brush part to the sharp inner corner of the curve or the edge of the eye, the brush part that is not in contact with the eyelashes may apply mascara liquid to other parts than the eyelashes, and the eyelid curve If you try to apply the arc-shaped brush to every corner of the eyelashes according to, the mascara stick will move greatly outside the width of the eyes, and there is a high risk of applying it to unnecessary parts.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the difficult points of the conventional mascara brush.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The mascara brush according to the first aspect of the present invention is characterized in that the mascara brush has a bending portion that can be bent at substantially 90 degrees between the mascara bar and the brush portion.
[0009]
The present invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the refraction section according to claim 1 is a shape memory material stored so as to be bent at substantially 90 degrees.
[0010]
When the mascara brush of the present invention is inserted into the container main body, the mascara brush is stored substantially linearly and immersed in the mascara liquid. Item 1 of the present invention is that the angle between the brush portion and the mascara rod can be bent to approximately 90 degrees by applying a force to the bending portion of the mascara brush with the hand holding the mascara brush cap at the insertion opening of the container body. Features. Further, in the present invention of claim 2, since the shape memory material in which the refracting portion of claim 1 is stored so as to be bent at substantially 90 degrees is used, when the mascara brush is taken out of the container main body, the brush portion and the mascara rod are connected. The angle becomes the stored 90 degrees.
[0011]
As described above, the mascara brush of the present invention is designed so that the mascara liquid attached to the mascara stick does not stain the periphery of the eyes and that the eyelashes can be easily applied to all corners. The rod is characterized by being approximately 90 degrees.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0013]
FIG. 1 is a view showing a mascara brush of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which a bending portion 3 of the mascara brush of the present invention is bent at substantially 90 degrees at an insertion opening 10a of a container body 10. .
Although the first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, the mascara rod 2 is a hollow tubular rod made of synthetic resin and having an outer diameter of 4 mm, and the bending part 3 provided between the mascara rod 2 and the brush part 4 is By having a bellows structure, it can be easily bent at that portion. When the mascara stick 2 shown in FIG. 4 is taken out of the container body 10 containing the mascara liquid 11, a force is applied to the brush part 4 at the insertion opening 10a and the bending part 3 bends the mascara rod to approximately 90 degrees. The brush part 4 can be bent to about 90 degrees with respect to the rod 2.
[0014]
In the mascara brush of the present invention, when applying the mascara liquid to the eyelashes, the brush part 4 has a substantially 90-degree relationship with the mascara rod 2.
[0015]
As a condition of the mascara brush that is easy to apply the mascara liquid to the eyelashes, the length of the brush portion 3 that is in contact with the eyelashes is preferably less than 2 cm, and if it is longer, it becomes difficult to apply.
[0016]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a use situation of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows the state of use of the present invention. In order to apply the mascara liquid over the entire eyelashes, the mascara liquid of the brush unit 4 is applied to all corners of the eyelashes while moving the hand holding the cap 1. In the case of using the mascara brush of the present invention, in order to apply the brush portion 4 along the curve of the eyelid to every corner of the eyelashes, the user operates the cap 1 of the mascara brush to move the brush portion 4 from end to end of the eyelashes. Is applied, but the range of moving the mascara brush is almost within the range of the parallel line of the line A and the line B vertically lowered from both ends of the eyes. This prevents the mascara stick 2 from crossing the nose column or having to be applied from above the eyelashes, thereby preventing the mascara liquid from inadvertently adhering to the nose column, cheeks, hair, and the like.
[0017]
In addition, since a finger other than the finger having the cap 1 can be applied to the cheek, the movement of the mascara brush can be stabilized, and even an unfamiliar person can easily apply it with confidence.
[0018]
Furthermore, for the eyelashes at the center of the eyelid, the mascara brush of the present invention can push up the brush part 4 almost vertically, so that the curls are sufficiently curled from the hairline to the hair tips from both corners of the eyelashes. Can be done.
[0019]
In the first embodiment of the present invention, the method of using the function of the bellows in the bending portion 3 has been described so far. As long as the material can be bent almost at a right angle, not only a synthetic resin but also a metal can be used. However, since the material is repeatedly bent and stretched, it is preferable to select a durable material and structure.
[0020]
The present invention of claim 2 uses a shape memory material for the bending portion 3 of the first embodiment, so that it is not necessary to perform the troublesome work of bending by 90 degrees as in the first embodiment. This is a mascara brush using a shape memory material which is stored in the bending portion 3 by being bent at about 90 degrees in advance, and its operation and handling in use are as described in the first embodiment.
【The invention's effect】
[0021]
As a result of actually having several women try the prototype of the present invention, it is possible to cleanly apply to both corners of the eyes without smearing the periphery of the eyes with the mascara liquid adhered to the mascara sticks 2 and the like, Since part 4 had a feeling of pushing up the eyelashes, it was pleased that the curl state of the eyelashes lasted for a long time. Furthermore, I was very pleased to be able to adapt to different eyelash curves.
