Description

  The present invention relates to a gel stick, and more particularly to a gel stick that allows a gel sheet to be attached without peeling off a film on the back surface.

  For example, in the case of a woman, there are cases where the skin may be stained, wrinkled, sagging, etc. due to aging, stress, or disruption of life rhythm. In such cases, skin care agents such as creams, lotions, emulsions and lotions are often given to the skin, but the active ingredients of the skin care agents are easily washed away by sweat or attached to clothing such as underwear, and are easily administered. It is difficult to maintain the effect for a long time.

  On the other hand, a method has been proposed in which a skin care agent is contained in a gel sheet and the effect of administering the skin care agent is maintained over a long period of time by attaching the gel sheet to the skin (Patent Documents 1 and 2). Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, Patent Document 5).

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-228340 JP 2002-249422 A JP 2000-212074 A JP 2000-297909 A JP 2001-104468 A

  However, in the gel sheet described in the above-mentioned conventional publication, the adhesive force decreases when the back surface is contaminated. Therefore, it is necessary to put a film on the back surface. As a result, the back film must be peeled off each time when used. Not very annoying.

  This invention makes it a subject to enable it to use a gel sheet, without peeling the film of a back surface in view of this problem.

  The inventors of the present invention have intensively studied to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, a plurality of gel sheets whose back surfaces are adhesive surfaces are laminated in a peelable manner to form a stick, and this is the tip of the adhesive surface in a cylindrical case. The present invention has been completed by focusing on the fact that it can be stored toward the side and pushed out of the case so that it can be attached one by one.

  Therefore, the gel stick according to the present invention is a gel stick that allows the gel sheet to be pushed out and pasted from the case, wherein the case has a cylindrical shape with an open end, and the back surface of the stick body is an adhesive surface. The plurality of gel sheets thus formed can be peeled from each other and laminated in a rod shape, and the stick body is accommodated in the case with the adhesive surface facing the tip opening side, while the case has A feed mechanism for feeding the stick body from the tip opening is provided.

  One of the features of the present invention is that a plurality of gel sheets are laminated in a stick shape, the stick body of this gel sheet is stored in a cylindrical case with its adhesive surface facing the tip side, and the stick body is pushed out of the case. The gel sheet can be attached one by one.

  As a result, the adhesive surfaces of the plurality of gel sheets are adhered to the surface of the gel sheet on the leading end side, so that the adhesive force is not damaged due to soiling without sticking the film, and the trouble of peeling the film at the time of use is eliminated. Can be resolved.

  The opening at the tip of the case may be left open as it is, but in that case, there is a risk that dirt will adhere to the adhesive surface of the gel sheet at the tip. Therefore, it is preferable that the front end opening of the case is sealed with a cap.

  Also, cosmetics such as perfumes and skin care agents can be mixed in the gel sheet, and skin care can be performed through the gel sheet, or drugs can be administered. In other words, the functional material can be contained in the gel sheet so as to diverge. Examples of the functional material include perfume, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, L cysteine, sericin, vitamins (for example, vitamin C), and hemostatic agents. Thereby, the effect of a functional material, for example, the effect of a perfume or skin care can be maintained over a long period of time, and a hemostatic agent can be administered in a dot-like manner only at a necessary location.

  Moreover, the shape of a gel sheet is not specifically limited, Circular, ellipse, polygon, star shape, and other arbitrary shapes can be adopted. Further, the gel sheet can be colored or patterned on its surface and used as a decorative seal for the face, hands and arms.

  Since the gel sheets are laminated so as to be peeled from each other by the adhesive surface, it is preferable that the gel sheet at the tip is smoothly peeled from the next gel sheet. Therefore, it is preferable that the stick main body is configured such that when the gel sheet at the tip is adhered to the target surface, the adhesive strength thereof is greater than the adhesive strength between the gel sheet at the tip and the next gel sheet.

  For example, the gel sheet can be configured such that the back surface of the gel sheet is flat and the surface is uneven, and the adhesive area between the gel sheet at the tip and the target surface is larger than the adhesive area between the gel sheet at the tip and the next gel sheet.

  The material of the gel sheet is not particularly limited, and for example, urethane gel or silicon gel can be used.

  Further, when two or more gel sheets are exposed from the opening at the tip of the case, there is a possibility that the two or more gel sheets are peeled off from the stick main body while being adhered and adhered to the skin or the like. Therefore, it is preferable that the delivery mechanism is configured to feed the stick body from the opening of the tip of the case so that the gel sheets are exposed one by one as shown in the following embodiment, for example.

  Furthermore, when a protrusion is formed on the inner edge surface of the case opening to press and hold the next gel sheet adhered to one gel sheet exposed from the tip opening, the gel sheet is peeled off one by one to adhere to the skin and the like. Can be made.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on specific examples shown in the drawings. 1 to 4 show a preferred embodiment of the gel stick according to the present invention.

The guide protrusion 12C is slidably fitted into the annular guide groove 10B of the case 10 so that the operation knob 12 is prevented from coming off and can be rotated.

  Further, one (or a plurality of) protrusions 12E are formed on the outer surface of the lower end of the cylinder portion 12A of the operation knob 12, and a plurality of recesses 10C correspond to the thickness of one gel sheet 14A on the lower end of the inner surface of the case 10. Is formed over the entire inner surface of the case 10 at an interval such that the stick body 14 advances by the thickness of one gel sheet 14A, and one recess portion 10C of the plurality is provided with one of the cylinder portions 12A. The protrusion 12E is removably inserted, and the operation knob 12 is rotated so that the protrusions 12E are successively inserted into the plurality of adjacent recesses 10C. It protrudes from the tip opening one after another.

  A pair of long grooves 12B are formed in the cylinder portion 12A of the operation knob 12 so as to extend in the direction of the central axis at positions facing each other, and a receiving base 13 is accommodated in the cylinder portion 12A.

  The cradle 13 is manufactured in a circular concave shape using, for example, a plastic material. On the outer surface of the cradle 13, ridges 13A are formed to extend in the vertical direction at positions facing each other, and the ridges 13A have guides. A protrusion 13B is formed, the protrusion 13A is slidably fitted in the long groove 12B of the cylinder part 12A, and the guide protrusion 13B is slidably fitted in the spiral guide groove 10A of the case 10.

  Further, a pedestal 13D is fitted into the cradle 13, and an adhesive is applied to the surface of the pedestal 13D to stick the stick body 14 composed of a plurality of gel sheets 14A.

  This gel sheet 14A is manufactured in a circular shape with a predetermined thickness, for example, about 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm, using, for example, urethane gel or silicon gel, and the front side of the gel sheet 14A is made harder than the back side. The stick body 14 is formed by laminating the plurality of gel sheets 14A in a stick-like manner so that the back surface of the gel sheet 14A is directed forward, and the pedestal 13D. It is sticked to.

  The gel sheet 14A contains a functional material such as perfume so that it can diverge depending on body temperature. Furthermore, a plurality of recesses 14B are formed on the surface of the gel sheet 14A, and the adhesive area between the gel sheet 14A at the tip of the stick body 14 and the skin (target surface) is larger than the adhesive area between the gel sheet 14A at the tip and the next gel sheet 14A. It is supposed to be.

  When using the gel stick of this example, the cap 11 is removed, and the operation knob 12 is rotated so that the protrusion 12E of the cylinder portion 12A moves only one recess 10C on the inner surface of the case 10.

  Therefore, when the tip of the stick body 14 is projected from the tip opening of the case 10, the tip of the stick body 14 is pressed against the skin, and the stick body 14 is separated from the skin, only one gel sheet 14A at the tip of the stick body 14 is peeled off. This single gel sheet 14A can be attached to the skin.

  For example, when a woman applies perfume, it is common to take the perfume from a bottle etc. once and put it on the skin such as the back of the ear or the neck. In such a case, the perfume flows with sweat or is worn with clothes. The scent is lost immediately. If a large amount of perfume is added to maintain the scent for a long time, the scent becomes too strong and may cause trouble to the surroundings.

  On the other hand, in the gel stick of this example, the gel sheet 14A containing perfume can be attached to the skin one by one, and even if sweating or rubbing with clothes, the scent of perfume will not be lost. The scent can be maintained for a long time, and the scent becomes too strong and does not disturb the surroundings.

  In addition, when the end opening of the case 10 is sealed with the cap 11 after the use is completed, dirt is attached to the back surface of the gel sheet 14A at the end of the stick main body 14, and the adhesiveness is not impaired. It is also possible to reverse the operation knob 12 and retract the cradle 13 to immerse the stick body 14 in the case.
