Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic puff and a method for producing the same.

  Conventionally, cosmetic puffs for applying cosmetics such as foundation and loose powder include sponge sponge puffs with rubber elasticity, and brushed puffs sewn with raised fabric pieces such as pile fabric. These sponge puffs are properly used depending on the finish depending on the part to be used.

  In cosmetics, sponge puffs are used for foundations with a lot of oil and moisture, and brushed puffs are used for powder-type cosmetics with a low amount of oil and moisture. As a method of using the cosmetic and the puff, a foundation for foundation is applied with a sponge puff. Thereafter, a powder foundation is applied with a sponge puff or a raised puff for finishing. In addition, loose powder such as teak is applied with brushed puffs for finishing and accenting. Further, at the time of re-dressing, a sponge puff is used for the T zone of the forehead and nose muscles, and a raised puff is used for the cheek. As described above, in general, several types of cosmetics are used for cosmetics, and two types of puffs are mainly used, and these are carried with them when they go out.

  Under such circumstances, there is known a puff that can be used for both foundation and loose powder by applying electrostatic flocking to one side of a sponge puff (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-339432). However, since this puff is based on a sponge, it is excellent for applying foundation foundations. However, when the flocked part is used for finishing and accenting, it does not reach the raised puff. is there. This is because the pile length that can be flocked is about 1 mm, and it is not possible to achieve a pile state that is excellent in makeup effect and feeling of use by raising 2 mm or more used for a raised puff.

  In addition, there are raised puffs composed of piles having different lengths on the upper and lower surfaces (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 30-10142, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 37-15020), but depending on the length of the pile. It can be used with or without pile, and it is excellent for loose powder, but it cannot be used in common with foundation foundation.

  On the other hand, the sponge puff uses an elastic sponge having a thickness of about 8 mm, and its peripheral portion is cut with a grindstone or the like to form a curved surface (Japanese Patent Publication No. 50-12636). In this sponge puff, the upper and lower planes are used for foundation application to a wide part such as a cheek, and the curved surface of the peripheral part is used for foundation application to an uneven part such as a small nose. Unlike the upper and lower flat surfaces (this surface is formed by slicing, etc.), the peripheral surface has a fine crease, and there is a tingling sensation during use, and the foundation has a phenomenon of striations. There was a problem that the usability was inferior.

Furthermore, the raised puff by sewing is a bag in which a pile is sewn in a bag shape and a cushion material is put inside (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 37-15020), but the cushion material moves inside the puff and feels good. There was a problem of being bad. On the other hand, it has been proposed to bond the outer skin and the cushioning material with an adhesive (Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-7444, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2111018), but a liquid and sticky adhesive is used. It was very difficult to insert from the sewing opening and adhere evenly.

  As described above, there are some combinations of different configurations on both sides, which are selectively used depending on cosmetics and cosmetic applications, but none of them is satisfactory.

  This invention is a puff that can be used on both sides, and can be used for foundation foundations, finishes, accent foundations, and loose powders. It solves the problem.

  The inventors of the present invention believe that by combining a raised fabric piece and a sponge, it is possible to supply a double-sided puff that can be used for foundation foundation application, finishing, and accent, and further improvements are made. A cosmetic puff that can be used on both sides is as good as a sponge puff or brushed puff. That is, the invention according to claim 1 is that the raised fabric piece and the sponge sheet are combined so that the raised surface of the raised fabric piece becomes the outer surface, and a flat cushioning material is inserted inside, and the raised fabric piece and the sponge are inserted. A cosmetic puff was obtained by sewing the periphery of the sheet.

  The invention of claim 2 is the cosmetic puff according to claim 1 in which one surface of the cushion material and the back surface of the sponge sheet are bonded with an adhesive. Moreover, invention of Claim 3 was set as the cosmetic puff of Claim 1 which adhere | attached both the surfaces of the said cushion material, the back surface of the said sponge sheet | seat, and the back surface of the said raising cloth piece with the adhesive agent.

  The invention according to claim 4, wherein a heat-sensitive adhesive is used as the adhesive, and the heat-sensitive adhesive is applied to one or both surfaces of the cushion material, and then heat is applied from the outside of the cosmetic puff to provide the cushion material. The cosmetic puff according to claim 2 or 3, wherein one surface or both surfaces of the sponge sheet and the back surface of the sponge sheet or the back surface of the raised fabric piece are adhered.

  The invention of claim 5 uses a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet as the adhesive, and the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is disposed between one surface or both surfaces of the cushion material and the back surface of the sponge sheet or the back surface of the raised fabric piece. 4. After being inserted into the cosmetic puff, heat is applied from the outside of the cosmetic puff to adhere one surface or both surfaces of the cushion material to the back surface of the sponge sheet or the back surface of the raised fabric piece. A cosmetic puff was obtained.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the method for producing a cosmetic puff, the raised fabric piece is formed by combining the raised fabric piece and a sponge sheet, inserting a cushion material therein, and sewing the periphery of the fabric piece and the sponge sheet. A piece and a sponge sheet are sewed with the raised surface of the raised fabric piece on the outer side and the outer edges thereof are removed except for the opening, and one surface of the cushion material and the back surface of the sponge sheet or one surface of the cushion material and the raised fabric. A heat-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on at least one of the back surfaces of the piece, a cushion material is inserted from the opening portion of the raised fabric piece and the sponge sheet, and then heat is applied from the outside of the cosmetic puff. It was set as the manufacturing method of the cosmetic puff which adhere | attaches the surface and the back surface of the said sponge sheet, or 1 surface of the said cushion material, and the back surface of the said raising cloth piece.

  According to invention of Claim 1, it can be used by one puff with respect to foundation | foundation foundation, finishing foundation, and loose powder. Moreover, according to this cosmetic puff, despite having a raised surface, the thickness of the entire puff can be kept small, so that it can easily fit into a compact case and is convenient to carry. Also, according to this cosmetic puff, it is convenient to carry one puff without carrying two sponge puffs and raised puffs.

  According to the invention of claim 2 or 3, since one surface or both surfaces of the cushion material and the back surface of the sponge sheet are bonded, the cushion material does not stably move in the cosmetic puff, and there is a feeling of hollowness. It is easy to use.

  According to the invention of claim 4, 5 or 6, since the heat-sensitive adhesive layer is provided on at least one of the one surface of the cushion material and the back surface of the sponge sheet or one surface of the cushion material and the back surface of the raised fabric piece. The conventional operation of inserting an adhesive from the narrow opening of the cosmetic puff during the manufacturing process is unnecessary, and the workability during the manufacturing is excellent and the productivity is high. In particular, those using a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet are further excellent in workability and high in productivity.

  The cosmetic puff of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cosmetic puff according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a cosmetic puff according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  Two pieces of the fabric piece 1 and the sponge sheet 2 which become the puff skin material are put together, and the peripheral portions thereof are sewn, and about 15 mm is set as an unsewn opening. Then, the inside and outside of the puff skin material is reversed using the unsewn opening, the cushion material 3 is inserted therein, the opening is sewn, and the cosmetic puff A shown in FIGS. Create

  As the fabric piece 1, a raised fabric piece can be used. The pile length to be raised is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 5 mm or less, more preferably 2 mm or more and 5 mm or less from the fabric piece base material. This gives a soft finish when used for finishing and accents. As the material of the pile, various fibers such as synthetic fibers and natural fibers can be used. Examples of these include nylon, polyester, acrylic, rayon, acetate, cotton, hemp, silk, and a blend of two or more animal hairs.

  As the raised fabric piece base fabric, woven fabric and knitted fabric can be used, but woven fabric is preferred. A piece of fabric that is raised only on one side to be used can be preferably used. Adhesion is facilitated when the cushion material and the fabric piece are adhered by the adhesion described later. As such a raised fabric piece, cotton velvet woven fabric, nylon velvet woven fabric, polyester velvet woven fabric, and rayon velvet woven fabric can be particularly preferably used. As a raising method, various methods such as cut pile and weaving can be used.

As the sponge sheet 2, a sponge sheet made of a rubber elastic material can be used. As the rubber elastic material, synthetic rubber, natural rubber, or polyurethane can be used, and preferably NBR, SBR, NR latex sponge and polyurethane foam (sponge) can be used. The sponge has an open cell structure, and a sponge having a cell structure with an average cell diameter of 50 μm to 250 μm is particularly preferable because it has a cosmetic effect excellent in application for foundation foundation.
The surface of the sponge sheet is preferably smooth and non-pleasant because of its excellent cosmetic effect. As such a surface, a sliced surface obtained by slicing from a sponge raw material can be preferably used.

  The thickness of the sponge sheet 2 can be 1 mm or more, preferably 2 mm or more and 4 mm or less. If the thickness of the sponge sheet 2 is large, the elasticity of the sponge itself is exhibited, and the cosmetic effect and feeling of use are excellent. However, when a sheet having a thickness exceeding 4 mm is used, the sponge-side application part of the created puff tends to be convexly curved. In this state, the inside becomes hollow, there is no resistance against pressing, and there is no so-called waist, and it is difficult to wear the foundation. In addition, it is difficult to apply to a fine portion due to the large curved surface and lack of stiffness when applying the foundation.

  If the sponge sheet 2 is 4 mm or less, the convex curve of the sponge-side application portion of the created puff is reduced, and a flat shape is formed from the central portion to the peripheral portion. By using a plane in the vicinity of the peripheral portion, the foundation can be easily attached and the amount of attachment can be increased. In addition, the flat portion of the sponge sheet 2 is excellent in application to a relatively large area such as a cheek or forehead during application. Further, the curved portion at the peripheral portion is excellent in application of uneven portions such as the nose.

  Further, the curved portion at the periphery of the sponge sheet 2 is a surface formed by slicing, and unlike the sharpened curved surface of the sponge puff, it is excellent in usability. Further, it is more preferable that the flat surface can be made wider by bonding with a cushion material 3 to be described later. If the sponge sheet 2 has a thickness of less than 1 mm, the original cosmetic effect of the sponge does not appear, the texture of the cushion material 3 inside is felt, and it is not preferable because there is a phenomenon that the durability is inferior. The sponge sheet 2 is more preferable because it can further widen the flat portion of the cosmetic puff by adhering to the cushion material 3 described later.

  A normal sewing method can be used for sewing the fabric piece 1 and the sponge sheet 2. That is, by using a thread and a needle, hand sewing and sewing can be performed. The stitch pitch is preferably 2.5 mm to 5 mm, more preferably 3 mm to 4 mm.

  The fabric piece 1 and the sponge sheet 2 are cut into a circular shape or a square shape according to the finished shape of the cosmetic puff A, the surfaces used for makeup are opposed to each other, and the peripheral portion or the peripheral portion is sewn. To do. Sewing is about 15 mm unsewn and an opening is provided. Thereafter, the fabric piece 1 and the sponge sheet 2 are pulled out from the opening and inverted inside and outside. Thereafter, the cushion material 3 is inserted from the opening, and the opening is sealed. The sealing can be performed by sewing or bonding. The opening is preferably 10 mm to 20 mm. If the opening is large, the reversal and insertion operations are easy to perform, but the subsequent sealing operation is difficult. The sealing part is not a little different from the peripheral sewing part, and when the size exceeds 20 mm, the discomfort on the appearance and the usability on use are different, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if it is smaller than 10 mm, the work of inversion and insertion becomes extremely difficult and the workability is poor. The cushion material 3 can be made of sponge, fiber cotton, nonwoven fabric or the like. The cushion material 3 is cut into a shape that matches the finished shape of the puff, and is inserted into the puff from the opening.

  It is preferable that the cushion material 3 and the cloth piece 1 and / or the sponge sheet 2 as the puff skin material are bonded. By bonding, the swelling of the cosmetic puff A can be suppressed and the upper and lower surfaces can be made flat. By making the upper and lower surfaces flat, on the sponge side, by using a flat part near the outer peripheral part, the amount of foundation wear increases, and the application to a relatively large area such as cheeks is smooth It can be carried out. Further, the cushion material 3 does not move inside the puff, and the feeling of use is improved.

  As an adhesion method, an adhesion method using an adhesive can be used. The adhesive can be applied to the surface of the cushion material 3. Further, the adhesive sheet can be inserted between the cushion material 3 and the puff skin material. It is also possible to apply an adhesive to the side that will be the inner surface of the puff skin material in advance, and then reverse the inside and outside. Thereafter, the puff skin material and the cushion material 3 are bonded by applying pressure from the upper and lower surfaces.

  As the adhesive, a heat-sensitive adhesive that does not have adhesiveness at room temperature and can be bonded by heat can be used. In this case, heat can be applied from the outside and pressure can be applied to securely adhere, and adhesive can be inserted from a narrow opening to prevent unnecessary parts from being contaminated with adhesive, improving workability and yield. To do.

  Further, as another method, a method in which the cushion material 3 is bonded in advance to the side to be the inner surface of the puff and the inside and outside are reversed from the opening can be used. In this case, either one of the puff skin materials is bonded, but it is preferable to bond the sponge sheet 2 and the cushion material 3 together. This is because the flat part of the sponge surface of the completed puff can be widened as will be described later.

  The cushion material 3 and the puff skin material can be bonded at least to the sponge sheet 2 side. The sponge sheet 2 has elasticity and is extensible, but has a repulsive force against bending, and therefore, when the peripheral portion is sewn and reversed, the center portion of the surface tends to be convexly curved. This is because the elasticity of the internal cushion material 3 does not work effectively, and it becomes difficult to attach the foundation only by softening. Moreover, it becomes difficult to apply an appropriate amount according to fine undulations such as a small nose. Further, if at least the cushion material 3 is bonded to the sponge sheet 2, even when the raised side is used, the cushion material 3 can be substantially prevented from moving inside, and the usability is improved.

  The fabric piece 1 and the cushion material 3 are also preferably bonded. By bonding the fabric piece 1 and the cushion material 3, it is possible to completely prevent the cushion material 3 from moving inside, and the usability is further improved.

A method of using the cosmetic puff A of the present invention will be described.
The sponge sheet 2 is used for the foundation foundation and the powder foundation for finishing. Using the flat portion at the end of the cosmetic puff A, wear the foundation and apply evenly over the entire face. It can apply | coat to uneven | corrugated | grooved parts, such as a small nose, uniformly along an unevenness | corrugation, if it extends using the curved surface part of a puff end part. Since the amount of foundation is large, it is possible to cover the entire surface without repeating the coating and coating many times. Brushed surfaces are used for powder foundation and loose powder. It can be used for a wide range of cheeks and can be finished softly. In this way, the cosmetic puff of the present invention can be used as a base, finish and accent puff.

A polyester velvet woven fabric having a pile length of 3 mm was prepared as a raised fabric piece. As a sponge sheet, a 2.5 mm thick sheet of Yukiron sponge (registered trademark, NBR sponge manufactured by Yukigaya Chemical Industry, open cell structure, density 180 kg / m ³ , average cell diameter 160 μm) was prepared. As a cushioning material, a urethane foam (density 70 kg / m ³ ) having a thickness of 5 mm was prepared. As the adhesive, a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 was used, and specifically, an EVA hot melt adhesive sheet was prepared. Two sheets of a raised fabric piece and a sponge sheet were cut into 68 mm × 53 mm in accordance with the size of the cosmetic puff to be created, 50 mm × 45 mm. The urethane foam and the adhesive sheet were cut into 47 mm × 42 mm according to the size of the cosmetic puff to be created.

  The two sheets are stacked with the sides used as cosmetic puffs facing each other, and stitched at a stitch pitch of 3.5 mm and cotton thread along the inner 2.0 mm of the peripheral edge, and a portion of 15 mm An unsewn opening was provided. The fabric piece and the sponge sheet were pulled out from the opening, the inside and outside were inverted, the use surface was set to the outside, and the curved surface of the sponge sheet was constituted by a slice surface instead of a cutting surface. The cushion material was inserted from the opening, and then the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 was inserted, and the opening was sewn and sealed.

  The puff was pressed with an iron plate heated at 120 ° C., the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 was melted, and the cushion material and the puff skin material were bonded. The finished cosmetic puff had a thickness of 10 mm (including pile) and 75% of the upper and lower surfaces were almost flat.

  The finished puff was monitored with an in-house tester. The use of the foundation was monitored on the sponge surface of the finished cosmetic puff, and the use of loose powder was monitored on the raised surface. As a result, in using the foundation, there was no tingling or rough feeling in using the curved surface portion seen in conventional sponge puffs, and the other portions were excellent in smooth use feeling without any steps. Moreover, even when loose powder was used, the result was that the puff was more rigid than the conventional raised puff and could be applied to a well-targeted site.

  A sponge sheet having a thickness of 4 mm was produced in the same manner as in Example 1.

Comparative Example 1
A sponge sheet having a thickness of 4.5 mm was produced in the same manner as in Example 1.

  A sponge sheet having a thickness of 2.5 mm was used, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 of Example 1 was not used, the heat bonding step was not performed, and the cushion material and the puff skin material were not bonded. The finished puff was thick and the flat surface on the sponge side was shrinking.

  A sponge sheet having a thickness of 4 mm was used, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 of Example 1 was not used, the heat bonding step was not performed, and the cushion material and the puff skin material were not bonded. The finished puff was thick and the flat surface on the sponge side was shrinking.

Comparative Example 2
A sponge sheet having a thickness of 4.5 mm was used, the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet 4 of Example 1 was not used, the heat bonding step was not performed, and the cushion material and the puff skin material were not bonded.
The finished puff was thick and had no flat surface on the sponge side, and curved in a convex shape.

The results of comparing Examples 1, 2, 3, 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are summarized in Table 1.

  In Table 1, “excellent” in the sponge-side planarity indicates that the area of the plane portion is 71% or more, “good” indicates 50% to 70%, and “poor” indicates less than 50%. In addition, “excellent” on the raised surface of the tester evaluation has a puff firmly and can be applied as intended, and the feeling of use is excellent. “Good” indicates a good feeling of use similar to a conventional sewing puff. “Inferior” is difficult to use. Although it is soft, there is a feeling of cavities and it cannot be pressed firmly. In addition, “excellent” on the sponge surface has a puff that allows you to make the makeup you want, and has a great feeling of use. “Good” indicates that the flat portion is slightly less, but there is no tingling sensation and a good feeling of use. “Inferior (1)” is difficult to use. There is a feeling of cavities and cannot be pressed firmly. “Inferior (2)” is difficult to use. There is a feeling of cavities and cannot be pressed firmly. The core (cushion material) moves and is difficult to use.

  The makeup puff of the present invention can be used in one puff for the foundation foundation, the finishing foundation, and the loose powder by adopting the above-described configuration. Further, since the curved surface of the sponge sheet is constituted by a sliced surface instead of a cutting surface, it is excellent in the feeling of use and has a high cosmetic effect without causing a streak when using the foundation foundation. In addition, according to the cosmetic puff of the present invention, the thickness of the entire puff can be kept small despite having a raised surface, so that it can easily fit in a compact case and is convenient to carry. Further, according to the cosmetic puff of the present invention, it is only necessary to carry one puff without carrying two sponge puffs and raised puffs, which is convenient for carrying. In addition, by using a heat-sensitive adhesive, the workability at the time of manufacture is excellent and the productivity is high.
