Description

  The present invention relates to an eyelash forming tool for forming eyelashes.

  For example, in the conventional eyelash forming tool shown in Patent Document 1, for the purpose of easily forming the eyelash root to the tip even if the heat transfer efficiency is improved and the temperature of the eyelash heating unit is set low, The heating parts are arranged in two rows along the longitudinal direction of the eyelash forming tool on the upper surface of the tip of the eyelash forming tool.

However, when mascara is used, the eyelashes may adhere to the eyelash heating portion, and the eyelashes may not be formed well. In addition, when the mascara adheres and the eyelashes become lumpy, it is difficult to scatter the eyelashes radially. In addition, since the eyelash molding part is difficult to clean even if the mascara adheres, if the mascara is accumulated in the eyelash molding part, the heat from the heating part becomes difficult to be transmitted to the eyelashes, and the moldability of the eyelashes decreases. Or it takes time to form the eyelashes.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problem, and even when a mascara is used, the eyelashes can be easily scattered radially, and the roots to the tips of the eyelashes are molded. Further, the present invention has an object to provide an eyelash molding tool that can improve the cleanability, make it difficult for mascara to accumulate, and can maintain the moldability of the eyelashes constant.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention of claim 1 is an eyelash forming tool, a grip portion gripped by a user, an eyelash forming portion provided so as to protrude in the longitudinal direction from the grip portion, A heating part provided in the eyelash forming part, having a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction, and a part of the eyelash forming part, provided detachably so as to face the heating part, and in the longitudinal direction And a comb member having a plurality of combs for separating the eyelashes arranged in the orthogonal width direction.

  The invention of claim 2 is characterized in that, in the eyelash forming tool of claim 1, the comb member is attached and detached along the longitudinal direction from the tip of the eyelash forming portion.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the eyelash forming tool according to the first aspect, the comb member is attached and detached along the thickness direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction and the width direction from the front of the eyelash forming portion. It is characterized by.

  According to the invention of claim 1, since a plurality of combs are arranged on the comb member, the eyelashes can be applied to the heating portion in a state where the eyelashes are scattered, and even when the mascara is used, the eyelashes are radial. From the root to the tip can be formed in a loose state. Furthermore, since the comb member is detachable, when the mascara adheres to the comb member, the comb member can be removed and cleaned, and the cleaning performance is improved. Furthermore, since it is possible to prevent the accumulation of mascara, the moldability of the eyelashes can be maintained.

  According to the invention of claim 2, since the comb member is attached and detached along the longitudinal direction from the tip of the eyelash forming part, for example, along the guide groove or the like, the comb member can be attached and detached smoothly. Moreover, since the attachment / detachment direction of the comb member is orthogonal to the direction of the force applied to the comb member when forming the eyelashes, the comb member can be configured not to easily come off during the eyelash formation.

  According to invention of Claim 3, since a comb member is attached or detached along the thickness direction from the front of the eyelash molding part, the attachment / detachment structure of a comb member can be made simple and small.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. An eyelash forming tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the eyelash forming tool 1 includes a grip portion 2 that is gripped by a user, and an eyelash forming portion 3 that is provided so as to protrude in the longitudinal direction from the grip portion 2. Yes. In the vicinity of the end of the grip portion 2 on the eyelash forming portion 3 side, a switch 4 that is operated with a thumb or the like while the user holds the grip portion 2 with a palm is provided. Moreover, the comb member 5 which makes a part of the eyelash molding part 3 is provided in the front-end | tip part when the eyelash shaping tool 1 is seen from the front so that attachment or detachment is possible. The eyelash forming tool 1 is symmetrical with respect to the central axis in the longitudinal direction, and can be used in the same state regardless of the use state of the user, for example, whether the user is left-handed or right-handed. It corresponds.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the grip 2 is detachably attached to the upper cover 11 formed by resin molding, the lower cover 12 fixed to the upper cover 11, and the upper cover 11. It is composed of a battery chamber lid 13 to be attached. Inside the grip portion 2, metal fittings 51, 52 and 53 connected to the battery 50, a switch piece 54, a switch base 55 and the like are provided.

  The eyelash forming part 3 includes a base member 14 sandwiched and fixed between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 of the grip part 2, a heating part 6 held on the base member 14 by a rib 14A, and the comb member. 5 or the like. The comb member 5 faces the heating unit 6 while being attached to the base member 14. The heating unit 6 includes a heater wire 61, a heater core 62, a heater cover 63, and the like. The heating unit 6 has a predetermined length suitable for forming the eyelashes in the longitudinal direction of the eyelash forming tool 1, specifically, a length that is about a fraction of the width of the human eye. Yes. The heater wire 61 and the heater core 62 are bent in a substantially U shape, and are substantially arranged in two rows in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the eyelash forming tool 1. The heater wire 61 and the switch piece 55 are connected by a lead wire 64, and power supply is turned on / off according to the operation of the switch 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the comb member 5 has a plurality of combs 21 and 22 arranged in the width direction of the eyelash forming tool 1 so as to protrude outward from the heating unit 6. As described above, since the eyelash forming tool 1 is symmetric with respect to the central axis in the longitudinal direction, the combs 21 and 22 are formed on both sides of the comb member 5. Further, the protruding amounts in the width direction of the two combs 21 and 22 adjacent to each other in the longitudinal direction are different. Furthermore, the tips of the combs 21 and 22 are formed at an acute angle. In this way, by setting the tips of the combs 21 and 22 to an acute angle, the eyelashes can be easily scattered radially even when a mascara is used. In FIG. 5, the combs 21 and 22 arranged on the right side of the comb member 5 and the combs 21 and 22 arranged on the left side are joined by ribs (joining portions) 23 that are curved outward. . Further, the length in the longitudinal direction of the comb member 5 and the number of the combs 21 and 22 arranged are determined so that the rib 23 covers the entire heating unit 6.

  Next, specific dimensions of each part of the eyelash forming part 3 configured as described above will be examined with reference to FIGS. 5, 6, and 7. First, the distance D1 from the end of the heating unit 6 to the tips of the combs 21 and 22 in the width direction (X direction) of the eyelash forming tool 1 shown in FIG. When the distance D1 is increased, the heat from the heating unit 6 is not easily transmitted to the tips of the combs 21 and 22, the heat transfer efficiency is lowered, the width of the eyelash forming part 3 is widened, and the usability of the eyelash forming tool is reduced. . Therefore, it is preferable that the distance D1 is in the above range.

  The protrusion amount D2 from the bases of the combs 21 and 22 in the width direction shown in FIG. 5 is set to a range of 0.5 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less. In general, the comb member 5 is formed by resin molding. However, in order to ensure the strength of the comb member 5, the base portion 5 </ b> A of the comb member 5 needs a certain resin thickness. Therefore, when the protrusion amount D2 is increased, the distance D1 is relatively long, and the heat transfer efficiency is lowered. Therefore, in order to maintain the strength of the comb member 5 without reducing the heat transfer efficiency without increasing the width of the eyelash forming portion 3, it is preferable to set the protruding amount D2 within the above range. The difference in protrusion amount between the comb 21 having the larger protrusion and the comb 22 having the smaller protrusion is not particularly limited, but even when the eyelashes are attached and become lumpy after using the mascara, The difference may be such that the longer comb 21 having the larger protrusion functions as a guide and the eyelash can be separated by the shorter comb 22 having the smaller protrusion therebetween.

  Further, the arrangement pitch P of the combs 21 and 22 in the longitudinal direction (Z direction) is set to a range of 0.7 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less. Each comb 21 and 22 also needs a certain thickness in order to ensure a certain strength. On the other hand, the combs 21 and 22 are required to have a function of spreading the eyelashes radially even when the mascara is used as described above. Therefore, it is preferable that the arrangement pitch P is in the above range.

  In the thickness direction (Y direction) orthogonal to the longitudinal direction (Z direction) and the width direction (X direction) shown in FIG. 7, from the upper end of the heating unit 6 to the tips (points F) of the combs 21 and 22 in the width direction. The height H1 is set to a range of not less than −0.5 mm and not more than 1.0 mm. The eyelashes radially scattered by the combs 21 and 22 are further heated by the heating unit 6 and curled by rotating the eyelash forming tool 1, but the heating unit 6 in the thickness direction and the tips of the combs 21 and 22 are curled. When the height H1 becomes higher, the distance from the heating unit 6 to the eyelashes becomes longer, and heat becomes difficult to transmit. As a result, it takes time to curl the eyelashes. Therefore, it is preferable that the height H1 from the upper end of the heating unit 6 in the thickness direction to the tips of the combs 21 and 22 in the width direction is in the above range.

  Furthermore, the height H2 from the upper end of the heating unit 6 to the upper end of the rib 23 in the thickness direction (Y direction) is set to a range of 1 mm or more and 2 mm or less. Since the rib 23 contacts the eyelashes separated by the combs 21 and 22, the heat transferred from the heating unit 6 to the rib 23 and further accumulated is further transmitted to the eyelashes. At this time, if the upper end of the rib 23 is too high, the heat from the heating unit 6 is not sufficiently transmitted to the rib 23 and the amount of heat accumulated in the rib 23 is also reduced. Therefore, it is preferable that the height H2 from the upper end of the heating unit 6 to the upper end of the rib 23 is in the above range. Furthermore, since the heating unit 6 is separated from the user's skin and eyeball by a certain distance or more by the rib 23, the heating unit 6 can be prevented from coming into direct contact with the skin or eyeball. Further, since the ribs 23 are curved outward, even if the eyelash forming tool 1 is rotated when curling the eyelashes, the eyelash forming portion 3 can be smoothly rotated without interfering with the eyelashes.

  Next, the attachment / detachment structure of the comb member 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. As shown in FIG. 9, guide grooves 14B are formed on both side surfaces 14E of the base member 14 of the eyelash forming portion 3 along the longitudinal direction (Z direction) of the eyelash forming tool 1, and further, Partly formed with an engaging protrusion 14C protruding in the width direction. Correspondingly, the base 5A of the comb member 5 is also formed with an engagement recess 5C that engages with the flange 5B that slides inside the guide groove 14B and the engagement protrusion 14C. With such a configuration, since the comb member 5 is attached to and detached from the base member 14 along the longitudinal direction from the tip of the eyelash forming portion 3 along the guide groove 14, the comb member 5 is smoothly attached and detached. Can do. Moreover, since the attachment / detachment direction of the comb member 5 is orthogonal to the direction of the force applied to the comb member 5 (or the eyelash forming portion 3) when forming the eyelashes, the comb member 5 is difficult to come off during the eyelash forming. .

  Another attachment / detachment structure of the comb member 5 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, two engaging recesses 14 </ b> D are formed on both side surfaces 14 </ b> E of the base member 14 of the eyelash forming portion 3 with a predetermined distance therebetween in the longitudinal direction. Correspondingly, two engaging projections 5D that are respectively engaged with the engaging recesses 14D are formed on the base portions 5A on both sides of the comb member 5. When the comb member 5 is mounted on the base member 14, the engagement protrusion 5D is engaged with the engagement recess 14D and functions as a retaining member, and the comb member 5 is unlikely to come off during the formation of the eyelashes. With such a configuration, the comb member 5 is attached to and detached from the base member 14 along the thickness direction (Y direction) from the front surface of the eyelash forming portion 3, so that the comb member 5 has a relatively simple structure. Detachable. In addition, the comb member attaching / detaching structure can be reduced in size.

  As described above, according to the eyelash forming tool 1 of the present embodiment, even when the mascara is used, the eyelashes are scattered radially without becoming lumpy and the eyelashes are efficiently heated. be able to. Moreover, since the eyelash shaping | molding part 3 can be made small, the eyelash shaping tool 1 can be rotated smoothly at the time of eyelash shaping. As a result, the eyelashes can be curled efficiently. Furthermore, since the comb member 5 can be attached to and detached from the base member of the eyelash forming portion 3, when the mascara adheres to the comb member 5, the comb member can be removed and easily cleaned. Therefore, the moldability of the eyelashes of the eyelash forming tool 1 can be maintained.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where the protrusion amount of the combs 21 and 22 arranged on the both sides of the comb member 5 was changed was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The combs 21 and 22 The protruding amounts may all be the same. Further, the combs 21 and 22 do not necessarily have to protrude in the width direction, and may have other shapes as long as the eyelashes can be scattered radially.
