JP 11-178629 A

Since the eyelash curler is simple to use, it is generally considered that there is no need to provide the curler with an element that suggests usage.
However, since the eyelash curler is used for the details of the eyelashes, it is easy to go wrong. In reality, it is actually difficult to pinch the roots of the eyelashes accurately between the molding plate and the moving body. For this reason, there is a problem in that the base of the eyelashes cannot be pinched accurately, and a portion near the tip of the eyelashes is pinched up and curled up sufficiently.

  Also, the intention to pinch the roots of the eyelashes, but the hand was crazy and pinched the eyelids, which sometimes hurt the eyelids. In particular, the experience of damaging it through the eyelids also caused the problem of becoming a trauma and making the eyelash curl more difficult to perform.

Further, even if the base plate of the eyelashes is precisely placed on the base of the eyelashes and the base of the eyelashes is sandwiched between the base plate and the moving body, the curled state of the eyelashes varies depending on how it is rolled up. For example, if the pinched eyelashes are rolled up while pulling forward, they will not be sufficiently curled.
Thus, even if the base plate of the eyelashes is accurately applied to the base of the eyelashes and the base of the eyelashes is sandwiched between the base plate and the moving body, there is a problem that the finish is not always satisfactory for the user.

The problem described above is also shown in FIG. 5, which is a 100% stacked bar graph showing the results of the monitor test for 150 people. Although FIG. 5 will be described in detail later, the ratios shown in the upper bar graph are those when a conventional eyelash curler having no elements suggesting how to use is used.
Only 40% of people feel “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with conventional eyelash curlers. This shows that even the eyelash curls that seem simple are actually a reality that many people are not satisfied with their technique.
An object of the present invention is to provide an eyelash curler and attachment thereof that most people are satisfied with their eyelash curls.

  The first invention includes an arc shaped molded plate and a movable body that is movable relative to the molded plate, and lashes that curl with eyelashes between the molded plate and the movable body In the curler, on one side of the molded plate facing the mirror, a visual recognition part is displayed on the side of the eyelashes along the base of the eyelashes.

  In addition, the visual recognition part in this invention will not ask | require the form, if the said case can be recognized. For example, in addition to continuous lines and broken lines, the molded plate may be made of a plurality of materials, and the visual recognition part may be expressed by the difference in color or texture of the materials. Furthermore, you may make it affix a tape and a seal | sticker in the case of the above of a shaping | molding board.

2nd invention displays the mark which shows the rotation fulcrum which maintained the space | interval with the visual recognition part on the said one side surface of a shaping | molding board and facing the visual recognition part.
In the second aspect of the invention, the mark indicating the rotation fulcrum is not only a continuous line and a broken line, but also a molded plate made of a plurality of materials, and the mark is indicated by the difference in the color and texture of the material. It may be expressed, or a tape or a sticker may be attached as a mark.

  In the third invention, the visual recognition part and the mark indicating the rotation fulcrum are displayed in parallel over the entire length in the width direction of the molded plate.

The fourth invention is displayed in a color different from the mark indicating the visual recognition part and the rotation fulcrum.
In the fourth aspect of the invention, different colors include those in which any of hue, saturation, brightness, and luminance is different.

5th invention displays the visual recognition part and the mark which shows a rotation fulcrum in a different form.
The above-mentioned different forms may be any form difference as long as the visual recognition part is made a straight line, for example, the mark is made of a continuous small pattern, and the difference between the two can be clearly recognized.

The sixth invention includes an arc shaped molded plate and a movable body movable relative to the molded plate, and the eyelash curled with eyelashes between the molded plate and the movable body It is related with the attachment used for a curler.
A covering body that covers at least the surface of the molding plate that faces the mirror is provided, and the covering body displays a visual recognition portion along the base of the eyelashes (wrinkle) in a state of covering the molding plate. A mark indicating a rotation fulcrum spaced from the viewing portion is displayed on the side facing the viewing portion.

  According to 1st invention, it was one side of the said shaping | molding board made to oppose a mirror, Comprising: The visual recognition part along the (wrinkle) was displayed on the part of the (wrinkle) along the root of an eyelash Therefore, the user of the curler can easily check the position of the visual recognition part while looking at the mirror, and can accurately apply the visual recognition part to the root of the eyelashes.

Then, if the moving body is moved in a state where the visual recognition part is applied to the base of the eyelashes, the root of the eyelashes can be reliably sandwiched between the forming plate and the moving body, and the moving with the forming plate in that state. If you roll up your body, you can curl your eyelashes from the root.
Further, as described above, it is easy to confirm the position of the visual recognition part while looking at the mirror, and the visual recognition part can be accurately applied to the root of the eyelashes, so that the hand is out of order and the eyelid is not pinched as in the prior art.

  According to the second invention, since the mark indicating the rotation fulcrum of the molding plate is displayed at the position facing the visual recognition part, the user of the curler can display the above-mentioned marking on the molding plate sandwiching the base of the eyelashes. It can rotate with consciousness. In this way, if you try to rotate with the mark in mind, you will naturally press the mark part against your eyelids slightly stronger. , And the eyelashes can be curled from its roots.

After fixing the pivot point of the molding plate as above and curling the eyelashes from the root,
With the rotation fulcrum fixed, the pinching force between the forming plate and the moving plate is once released, and this time, the tip of the eyelashes is sandwiched between the forming plate and the moving plate and fixed as described above. The molded plate is rotated again around the rotation fulcrum. In this way, the curls are sequentially curled beyond the base of the eyelashes, and the curling from the base of the eyelashes is repeated as necessary.
This makes it possible to curl the eyelashes by drawing an ideal arc from the root to the tip.

  In addition, coupled with the first invention, it is easy to teach how to use the eyelash curler. For example, place the eyelashes on the base of the eyelashes, put the eyelashes between the molding plate and the moving body, and in that state, press the part of the mark indicating the pivot point on the eyelids, and rotate around the mark. If you do, you can teach verbally that you can easily curl your eyelashes.

  According to the third invention, since the visual recognition portion and the mark indicating the rotation fulcrum are displayed in parallel over the entire length in the width direction of the molded plate, the visual recognition portion of the molded plate and the mark indicating the rotation fulcrum are It appears as a clear line in the mirror, preventing the user of the curler from going crazy.

According to the 4th and 5th invention, the visual recognition part and the mark which shows a rotation fulcrum can be distinguished clearly, and operation becomes easy by that much.
According to the sixth invention, if the existing eyelash curler is covered with the attachment of this invention, the same effects as those of the first and second inventions can be exhibited.

FIG. 6A is a pie chart showing the result of visual evaluation of whether or not the eyelash has been curled, and FIG. It is a circle graph of the visual evaluation result for. It is a 100% stacked bar graph showing the ease of use of the present invention. It is a pie chart which shows the ease of use of the person in the position who teaches how to use the present invention. It is a perspective view of the principal part of 2nd Embodiment.

In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, two support rods 2 and 2 are provided at the tip of the first arm 1, and a molding plate 3 is fixed between the support rods 2 and 2. The molded plate 3 has a curved shape in which the surface facing the mirror in use is a convex surface and the surface corresponding to the eyelid is a concave surface.
The support bars 2 and 2 are provided with a moving body 4, and the moving body 4 is provided so as to be movable with respect to the support bars 2 and 2.

One end of the movable connecting shaft 5 is fixed to the movable body 4, and the other end of the movable connecting shaft 5 is connected to the tip of the second arm 6 that is rotatable with respect to the first arm 1. .
When the first and second arms 1 and 6 are opened and closed like scissors, the moving body 4 moves along the support rods 2 and 2 and approaches the molding plate 3, and the eyelashes are brought into contact with them. Try to pinch.

Furthermore, although the visual recognition part 7 is displayed on the convex surface side of the molding plate and along the base of the eyelashes (wrinkle), the visual recognition part 7 is displayed over the entire length in the width direction of the molding plate 3. Made of vermilion lines.
In addition, on the convex surface side of the molded plate 3 and on the side facing the visual recognition part 7, a mark 8 indicating a rotation fulcrum spaced from the visual recognition part 7 is displayed. It consists of a blue line displayed over the entire length in the width direction of the molded plate 3.

  When the eyelash curler made as described above is used, the visual recognition part 7 indicated by a vermilion line is placed along the virtual line 9 indicating the root of the eyelash shown in FIG. At this time, the vermilion visual recognition part 7 is clearly reflected in the mirror, so the user should apply it to the root of his eyelashes reflected in the mirror while paying attention to the visual recognition part 7 reflected in the mirror. Can do.

  When the visual recognition part 7 is applied to the root of the eyelashes as described above, the second arm 6 is rotated with respect to the first arm 1 to move the moving body 4, and the eyelashes are moved between the moving body 4 and the molding plate 3. Between. At this time, since the portion corresponding to the visual recognition portion 7 of the molded plate 3 is applied to the root of the eyelashes, the root is sandwiched between the molded plate 3 and the movable body 4. .

Once the root of the eyelashes is firmly sandwiched between the molding plate 3 and the moving body 4, this time, while keeping the mark 8 indicating the pivotal support point lightly pressed against the eyelid, the entire eyelash curler Rotate in the direction of eyelash winding.
When the rotation fulcrum of the molding plate 3 is fixed and the eyelashes are curled from the base as described above, the pinching force between the molding plate 3 and the movable plate 4 is once released while the mark 8 indicating the rotation fulcrum is fixed. This time, the tip of the eyelashes is sandwiched between the forming plate 3 and the moving plate 4, and the forming plate 3 is rotated again around the mark 8 indicating the rotation fulcrum fixed as described above. In this way, the curls are sequentially curled beyond the base of the eyelashes, and the curling from the base of the eyelashes is repeated as necessary.
As a result, the eyelashes are curled in an ideal state from the root.

The greatest feature of the first embodiment is that the visual recognition portion 7 and the mark 8 are displayed on the molded plate 3, and the background of the development is as follows.
The present inventors paid attention to the fact that the number of mascara users has increased rapidly due to the eyelash boom in recent years, and investigated the degree of satisfaction of the eyelash finish for the monitor. The target person of the monitor test at that time is as shown in FIG.

As is clear from FIG. 4, women in their 20s to 60s were targeted and stratified according to whether they were interested in mascara. The level of interest in mascara was used as the standard for stratification because people who were wearing mascara were more interested in eye makeup, and those who were more interested in eye makeup were more interested in eyelash curls.
The reason why the number of women in their 60s is small is that the degree of interest in eye makeup decreases with age.

  Then, 150 people were randomly selected from the monitor test subjects shown in FIG. 4, and the degree of satisfaction with the eyelash curl was investigated. As can be seen from the conventional display in FIG. 5, those who answered very satisfied or satisfied. There was only 40%.

Therefore, after investigating the cause, it was particularly noteworthy that even when trying to apply the shape of the molded plate 3 to the base of the eyelashes while looking at the mirror, it was difficult to accurately place it at hand. Was that.
Also, there is little knowledge of how to wind up the eyelash curler, even if the root of the eyelash is pinched correctly, and in extreme cases, pinch the eyelash and then pull it forward Some people rolled up.

  Under these circumstances, the present inventors have examined various measures, and as a result, the portion of the molded plate 3 applied to the base of the eyelashes is used if it is firmly copied in the mirror. The person was able to be clearly conscious while visually recognizing that (kiwa), and thought that it would not be so difficult to apply it to the root of the eyelash if it was conscious.

Under such an idea, over the entire length in the width direction of the molding plate 3 shown as the first embodiment, on the convex surface side of the molding plate 3 reflected in the mirror and at the part of the wrinkle along the root of the eyelashes. I tried to display vermilion visual recognition part 7.
Moreover, the mark which shows the rotation fulcrum which consists of the blue line displayed over the full width direction full length of the shaping | molding board 3 shown as 1st Embodiment in the convex surface side of the shaping | molding board 3 and the side facing the said visual recognition part 7 is shown. I tried to display 8.

  Then, 66 people are randomly extracted from the monitor test subjects shown in FIG. 4, and the visual recognition part 7 is set to the base of the eyelashes, and the mark 8 indicates the rotation fulcrum. The result was shown as the present invention in FIG. 5 and 95,5% of people showed the result that they were very satisfied or satisfied.

In addition, 55 people were randomly selected from the monitor test subjects, and the conventional eyelash curler without the visual recognition portion 7 and the mark 8 was examined to see if the curls were actually curled from the root of the eyelashes. As shown in 6 (a), “not done” was 52.7%.
On the other hand, 65 people were randomly extracted from the monitor test subjects, and the eyelash curlers of the present invention showing the visual recognition part 7 and the mark 8 were investigated. %, And it has shown tremendous results in terms of whether or not it is curled.

  Further, regarding the curl state of how the curl is made, the same investigation was conducted as shown in FIG. 6 (b). However, for the conventional eyelash curler without the visual recognition part 7 and the mark 8, "curve" "Is only 25.5%, but in the present invention," curve "is increased to 53.8%.

Also, regarding the ease of curl, 66 people were randomly selected from the monitor test subjects, and as a result, “very easy to do” or “easy to do” reached 89.4%. (See FIG. 7).
In addition, eyelash curlers are sometimes demonstrated to customers by so-called specialists who give instructions on makeup at cosmetic stores. And “very clean” and “can be clean” have been obtained (see FIGS. 8A and 8B).
Although the above results are all amazing, the present inventors have shown that the idea of the present inventors was appropriate for the visual recognition part 7 and the mark 8 indicating the rotation fulcrum.

In addition, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the mark 8 which shows the visual recognition part 7 and a rotation fulcrum was displayed over the width direction full length of the shaping | molding board 3, if a user can recognize them clearly, it will not necessarily display over the full length. You don't have to.
The visual recognition part 7 and the mark 8 indicating the rotation fulcrum include, for example, a continuous line and a broken line, as well as the molding plate 3 made of a plurality of materials, and the visual recognition part 7 and the mark depending on the color and texture of the material. 8 may be expressed. Furthermore, a tape or a seal may be attached to the forming plate 3 (kiwa), and these may be used as the visual recognition part 7 or the mark 8.

Further, the reason why the visual recognition unit 7 and the mark 8 indicating the rotation fulcrum are color-coded is to make it possible to clearly recognize the difference between the visual recognition unit 7 and the mark 8 indicating the rotation fulcrum. Therefore, any color coding may be used as long as the user can recognize the difference. Moreover, the shaping | molding board 3 may be comprised with a some material, and the difference of the color of these materials may be utilized.
Further, in the sense that it is only necessary to recognize the difference between the visual recognition unit 7 and the mark 8, the forms may be made different. For example, if the visual recognition part 7 is a straight line, the mark 8 may be a continuous pattern of small patterns, and any form difference may be used as long as the difference between the two can be clearly recognized.

  Moreover, in the said 1st Embodiment, although both the visual recognition part 7 and the mark 8 were displayed on the shaping | molding board 3, in this invention, although the visual recognition part 7 is an absolute essential matter, the mark which shows a rotation fulcrum Although 8 is necessary for obtaining a better effect, it is not an absolute necessity. This is because it has been found in the experimental results that many people cannot curl well due to the fact that many people cannot apply the base of the eyelashes to the base of the eyelashes.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the molded plate 3 is covered with a cover 10 on the cap. The cover 10 displays a visual recognition part 7 and a mark 8 indicating a rotation fulcrum. doing.
The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the cover 10 is used as described above, but the visual recognition portion 7 and the mark 8 displayed on the cover 10 are different from those in the first embodiment. The same.
