  Below, the eyelash curl tool which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to drawings.

  1 to 5 show an eyelash curling tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  The eyelash curling tool 1 is provided with finger members 7 and 8 formed with finger hooks 7a and 8a on the ring at one end, and both finger members 7 and 8 are rocked by a fulcrum member (pin) 6 at an almost middle portion thereof. It is connected freely. A bar-shaped arm member 2 is attached to an intermediate portion of the finger member 7 so as to be swingable around a fulcrum member 6. An eyelash friction mechanism 4 is connected to the distal end portion 7 b of the finger member 7 via a swing mechanism 5.

  The eyelash friction mechanism 4 has a function of rubbing and rubbing the eyelashes toward the front end side of the eyelashes while holding the eyelashes in the vertical direction. The friction plate 4a whose tip is pressed against the surface, the receiving member 4b which is fixed to the tip of the finger member 8 and holds the eyelash between the friction plate 4a, and the friction plate 4a and the receiving member 4b hold the eyelash. In this state, there is provided a swing mechanism 5 that swings the friction plate 4a toward the tip end side of the eyelash so that the tip of the friction plate 4a draws a substantially arc-shaped locus.

  The oscillating mechanism 5 is configured such that the link member 5c is arranged so as to span between the distal end portion 7b of the finger member 7 and the proximal end portion of the friction plate 4a, and is slidably attached by pins 5a and 5b. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5, when the finger hook portions 7a and 8a of the finger members 7 and 8 are brought close to each other, the link member 5c is pushed out by the tip portion 7b of the finger member 7, and the friction plate 4a is centered on the pin 5d. The friction plate 4a is swung by being swung.

  A clamping plate 3a that clamps the base end portion of the eyelashes with the receiving member 4b is fixed to the most distal end portion of the arm member 2. The clamping plate 3a and the receiving member 4b constitute the clamping mechanism 3 of the present invention, and the clamping mechanism 3 and the eyelash friction mechanism 4 constitute the curling mechanism of the present invention.

  The receiving member 4b is inserted into a support member 4e having a U-shaped cross section fixed to the tip of the finger member 8, and is fixed by an adhesive or by a fitting structure. The receiving member 4b has a block shape in which a covering material made of an elastic material such as rubber is arranged on the surface of a base material 4c of, for example, an elastically deformable foam (for example, sponge, urethane foam, etc.). Thereby, an eyelash can be elastically clamped between the receiving member 4b and the friction plate 4a. In addition, the block on the rubber cube which has elasticity can also be used as the receiving member 4b without using a foam.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the friction plate 4a is formed into a concave curved surface in a direction toward the tip of the eyelashes, and a three-dimensional curved surface shape formed into a concave curved surface in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction toward the tip of the eyelashes ( Spoon shape). Such a three-dimensional curved surface shape is most preferable, but the outer shape of the friction plate 4a may not be a three-dimensional curved surface shape but may be a flat plate shape, and the direction of curvature of the friction plate 4a may be reversed ( It may also be a convex curved surface on the tip side of the eyelashes.

  Next, the usage method of the eyelash curl tool 1 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the finger members 7 and 8 are spread around the fulcrum member 6 so that the finger rests 7a and 8a are separated. Thereby, the friction plate 4a is ready to curl the false eyelashes in the vicinity of the sandwiching plate 3a. In this state, since the finger members 7 and 8 can still swing around the fulcrum member 6, the finger members 7 and 8 are swung to widen the gap between the holding plate 3a and the receiving member 4b, and the holding plate 3a. The eyelash M is interposed between the holding member 4b, the finger hooks 7a, 8a of the finger members 7, 8 are brought close to each other, and the eyelash M is held between the holding plate 3a and the receiving member 4b. Complete the set of tool 1.

  Next, when the finger hook portions 7a and 8a of the finger members 7 and 8 are further brought closer, the tip end portion 7b of the finger member 7 falls so as to be close to the arm member 2 and is linked via the pin 5a. 5c is pushed forward (face side). As a result, the friction plate 4a swings backward (on the anti-face side, the tip side of the eyelashes) around the pin 5d. By this swinging operation, the surface of the eyelash is rubbed and rubbed while the tip of the friction plate 4a is in contact with the eyelash, and the eyelash is curled. When mascara is applied, the mascara is uniformly applied to the eyelashes by the swinging motion of the friction plate 4a.

  The friction plate 4a is swung around the pin 5d so that the locus of the tip of the friction plate 4a moves in a circular arc, and can exert the same action on the eyelash as that curled manually. Natural curls similar to manual work can be effectively applied even if is used.

  After the eyelash clamping operation is performed by the proximity of the finger members 7 and 8, the finger members 7 and 8 are further brought close to each other to swing the friction plate 4a in an interlocked manner, thereby curling the eyelashes. It can be operated with a single touch compared to those with separate operation (separate mechanism).

  Next, FIG. 6 shows an eyelash curling tool 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

  In the eyelash curling tool 10 according to this embodiment, an arm portion 7c is formed integrally with a finger member 7, and a friction plate 4a is swingably connected to the arm portion 7c by a pin 15d. A lever member 15c is swingably connected to the end portion via a pin 15b, and a lever member 15c is swingably connected to a link member 15f that is swingably attached to the arm portion 7c by a pin 15e. It is.

  The base end portion of the eyelash is clamped by the clamping plate 3a and the receiving member 4b by the swinging of the finger members 7 and 8. In the eyelash curling tool 10 of the present invention, the friction plate 4a is not swung only by swinging the finger members 7 and 8, but the tip 15g of the lever member 15c is swung downward as indicated by an arrow in the figure. Then, the friction plate 4a is swung by the swing of the lever member 15c, and the eyelashes are curled.

  That is, in the present eyelash curling tool 10, the friction plate 4a is driven by an operation that is independent of the operation of pinching the eyelashes, so that the curling can be performed by the friction plate 4a at a different timing from the pinching of the eyelash. Can be flexibly adapted to the preferences of the user.

  Next, FIG. 7 shows an eyelash curling tool 20 according to still another embodiment of the present invention.

  The eyelash curling tool 20 has a compact structure with a fingertip size, and a rod member 24 having a finger receiving part 22 formed on the lower side of the box-shaped frame member 21 and a finger receiving part 23 formed on the upper side. It is attached to the frame member 21 so as to be able to advance and retreat. A receiving member 27 made of an elastic member is fixed to the lower inner side of the frame member 21. A friction plate 25 is swingably attached around the pin 26 in the space inside the frame member 21. An inclined surface 24 a is formed at the lower end of the rod member 24, and an arc surface 26 a that contacts the inclined surface 24 a is formed at the upper end of the friction plate 25.

  In the eyelash curling tool 20 of the present invention, the eyelashes are inserted between the friction plate 25 and the receiving member 27 of the frame member 21 and the finger receiving portions 22 and 23 are put in contact with each other. Press in the direction. The rod member 24 enters the frame member 21, the inclined surface 24a contacts the arc surface 26a, and the friction plate 25 is pressed downward. As a result, the eyelash is clamped between the friction plate 25 and the receiving member 27, and when the rod member 24 is further advanced, the friction plate 25 is swung around the pin 26 toward the tip end side of the eyelash. By this swinging operation, the eyelashes are rubbed and curled by the friction plate 25.

  The present eyelash curling tool 20 can be basically compact in volume corresponding to the box-shaped frame member 21, and is more portable than the eyelash curling tool provided with crossing long finger members. Convenient to.
