Description

  The present invention relates to a mascara applicator including a mascara container, a mascara liquid application body, and an eyelash shaping body.

  Regarding the mascara applicator of the present invention, the applicator of Patent Document 1 is known. There, an applicator is constituted by a container and a cap for storing mascara liquid, an applicator provided with an application head, a heating device for heating the application head, and the like. A battery serving as a power source for the heating device is arranged inside the cap that also serves as a knob, and a resistance heating element is arranged inside the application head of the applicator integrated with the cap. When the cap screwed into the container is removed from the container, the power supply circuit is closed and the resistance heating element can be heated, and this heat heats the mascara liquid adhering to the base surface of the coating head and diffuses it uniformly. It can be applied to the eyelashes in a fluidized state.

  Similarly, Patent Document 2 discloses a mascara package including a heating element. The mascara package includes a container and a handle (cap) for storing mascara liquid, a brush bar protruding at the lower part of the handle, a heat generating application part provided at the lower part of the brush bar, and a battery stored inside the handle. Is configured. A switch knob is provided on the outer surface of the handle. When this knob is turned on, the heating element is energized to heat the heating application part, and the mascara liquid attached to the bristles on the outer surface of the heating application part is heated. Can be applied to eyelashes. Furthermore, the viscosity of the low-temperature mascara liquid can be reduced by turning on the switch knob while the exothermic application part is housed in the container.

JP 2008-212688 A (paragraph numbers 0031 to 0032, FIG. 2) JP-T 2009-532083 (paragraph numbers 0033 to 0034, FIG. 2)

  According to the mascara applicator of Patent Document 1, the resistance heating element generates heat in conjunction with the operation of removing the cap from the container, and the mascara liquid adhering to the application head is heated and uniformly spread and applied to the eyelashes. it can. However, the mascara applicator of Patent Document 1 only has a function of applying mascara liquid to the eyelashes. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare the eyelash shaping tool and mascara comb separately when curling the front eyelashes and removing the lump (mascara lump) adhering to the back eyelashes. It takes a lot of time to make up.

  In that respect, the mascara applicator of Patent Document 2 is provided with a comb for curling eyelashes and a brush for applying mascara liquid on the exothermic application part, so that a series of operations can be performed with little effort. However, since the comb for curling the eyelashes is immersed in the mascara solution in the container together with the brush, it is necessary to remove the mascara solution adhering to the comb when curling the eyelashes, which takes extra time. . There is also a disadvantage that the mascara liquid is wasted.

  Moreover, the mascara applicator of Patent Document 2 can curl the eyelashes appropriately with a comb by setting the temperature of the heat generating application part to a high temperature. However, when the mascara liquid is heated at a temperature suitable for eyelash curling, the mascara liquid is excessively heated and deteriorates, or the solvent evaporates. Conversely, if the temperature of the exothermic application part is set to a low temperature, the viscosity of the mascara liquid can be reduced while preventing the mascara liquid from deteriorating, but the eyelashes cannot be heated sufficiently. It takes time. This is because there is a large difference between the temperature suitable for the eyelash curl and the temperature suitable for reducing the viscosity of the mascara liquid. Another factor is that the comb and the mascara liquid are directly heated by the heat of the heat application section.

The object of the present invention is to provide a shaping body for shaping and curling eyelashes and an application body for applying mascara liquid, which can be shaped while heating the eyelashes to an appropriate temperature, or deteriorated by heating the mascara liquid to an appropriate temperature.

It is in close contact with the inner surface of the heater 29. In order to visually recognize the color change state of the temperature-sensitive color change element 76, a visual recognition window 83 is opened near the lower end of the left rod body 21a. The user can know that the heat generation state of the heater 29 has reached an appropriate temperature state by checking the coloration state of the temperature-sensitive color changing element 76 through the viewing window 83 after the heater 29 is energized. . As shown in FIG. 4, a lead wire 84 for the heat generating element 80 and a lead wire groove 86 for accommodating the lead wire 85 for the thermistor 75 are formed in the right rod body 21b through a partition wall. is there.

  8 and 3, the switch structure includes a terminal plate 89 that is slid by the switch knob 34, a pair of mountain-shaped movable terminals 90 that are fixed to the terminal plate 89, and a fixed terminal (not shown) provided on the control board 61. Not)) and a moderation structure. The switch knob 34 is guided and supported by a knob seat 92 on the side of the shaping grip 20 so as to be vertically slidable. A bar-like stopper 93 and a pair of operation claws 94 are provided on the inner surface of the switch knob 34. In order to allow the stopper 93 and the operation claw 94 to slide, a slide opening 95 is formed in the knob seat 92. The inner wall of the knob seat 92 also serves as a guide wall that slides the stopper 93.

  At the lower end of the switch knob 34, a regulating piece 96 that prevents the switch knob 34 from being switched to an on state when not in use projects inwardly. The non-use state here means a state in which the screw hole 16 of the application body 2 to which the shaping body 3 is mounted is screwed to the screw shaft 5 of the container 1 to the end, and the regulation piece 96 in this state is It is received by the shoulder wall of the container 1. Further, when the switch knob 34 is switched to the on state, the restriction piece 96 is pushed up by the shoulder wall of the container 1 as the application body 2 is screwed into the screw shaft 5, so that the switch knob 34 is forced. Automatically switched off.

  A rectangular engagement boss 98 that engages with the operation claw 94 is provided on the surface of the terminal plate 89 that faces the switch knob 34, and when the pair of operation claws 94 are engaged with the engagement boss 98, A terminal plate 89 is supported by the switch knob 34. In FIG. 9, the moderation structure is a pair of fixed arms including an elastic arm 99 formed integrally with the long side portion of the terminal plate 89, a moderation protrusion 100 provided on the central outer surface of the elastic arm 99, and three moderation recesses 101. It is composed of a wall 102 and the like. The fixed wall 102 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the shaping grip 20.

  The temperature state of the heating shaping part 22 when shaping the eyelashes using the shaping body 3 and the temperature state of the application part 12 when applying mascara liquid to the eyelashes using the application body 2 are optimized. For this purpose, the switch structure is switched to three stages by the switch knob 34. Specifically, the state of FIG. 8 in which the switch knob 34 is located at the upper end of the knob seat 92 is an off state, and the state of FIG. 13 in which the switch knob 34 is slid down by one step from the off state is the first state. Is on. Further, the state of FIG. 14 in which the switch knob 34 is further pushed down and slid by one step from the first on state is the second on state.

  In the first ON state, a heater drive signal is output from the comparator 105 shown in FIG. 11 to the switching element, a drive current is supplied from the battery 33 to the heating element 80, and the temperature of the heater 29 rises. Along with this, the temperature of the thermistor 75 rises and the resistance value decreases, so the voltage applied to the thermistor 75 decreases and the voltage applied to the control resistor connected in series with the thermistor 75 increases. Then, when the voltage applied to the control resistor exceeds the reference voltage (low-temperature side reference voltage) shown in FIG. 12, the output of the comparator 105 is stopped, the supply of the drive current to the heating element 80 is stopped, and the heater 29 temperature drops. Further, when the temperature of the heater 29 is lowered, the temperature of the thermistor 75 is lowered and the resistance value is increased, so that the voltage applied to the thermistor 75 is increased and the voltage applied to the previous control resistor is decreased. When the voltage applied to the control resistor falls below the reference voltage (low-temperature side reference voltage), a heater drive signal is output from the comparator 105 to the switching element, and supply of drive current to the heating element 80 is resumed. Thereafter, this is repeated to maintain the heat generation state of the heater 29 at a low temperature (40 ° C.). In addition, what is necessary is just to set the heat_generation | fever state of the heater 29 according to a composition, a viscosity characteristic, etc. of a mascara liquid, and a low temperature state may be other than 40 degreeC.

  In the second ON state, the reference voltage is switched to the reference voltage on the high temperature side, and control similar to the above is performed based on this, and the heat generation state of the heater 29 is maintained at the high temperature state (70 ° C.). . The power supply unit that supplies the low temperature side reference voltage and the high temperature side reference voltage, the comparator 105, and the like are provided on the control board 61.

  In the unused mascara applicator, the screw hole 16 provided in the cap 10 is screwed into the screw shaft 5, and the applicator 2 is integrated with the container 1. The applicator rod 11 and the applicator 12 in this state are: It is immersed in the mascara liquid stored in the container 1. Further, the shaping rod 21 of the shaping body 3 is accommodated inside the application rod 11 of the application body 2, and the connection groove 55 provided in the connection boss 54 of the application body 2 is engaged by the elastic connection arm 68 of the connection ring 64. Have been captured. Since the shaping rod 21 in this state is accommodated inside the application rod 11 having a closed structure, the entire shaping rod 21 including the heating shaping portion 22 is not immersed in the mascara liquid. Therefore, the mascara liquid in the container 1 does not adhere to the shaping rod 21 in a non-use state. In a non-use state, the restriction piece 96 of the switch knob 34 is received by the shoulder wall of the container 1, and the downward movement is restricted. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the switch knob 34 from being inadvertently switched to the first on state or the second on state. Further, as described above, when the switch knob 34 is switched to the ON state, the regulating piece 96 is pushed up by the shoulder wall of the container 1 as the application body 2 is screwed into the screw shaft 5. Therefore, the switch knob 34 is forcibly switched to the off state shown in FIG.

  When the mascara applicator is used, the shaping body 3 and the application body 2 can be used selectively, so that the operation of shaping and curling the eyelashes and the operation of applying the mascara liquid can be performed. When shaping and curling the eyelashes, as shown in FIG. 15, the shaping body 3 is pulled out from the application body 2 in a direction to release the engagement between the coupling groove 55 of the coupling boss 54 and the elastic coupling arm 68, and the heating shaping section 22 is exposed from the application rod 11. In this state, the switch knob 34 is slid to switch to the second on state, and the heater 29 is heated. After a while, it is confirmed by the change in the color state of the temperature-sensitive color changing element 76 that the heat generation state of the heater 29 has been heated to an appropriate temperature (70 ° C.). In the state where the switch knob 34 is switched to the second ON state, the cap 10 is mounted on the container 1 side together with the application rod 11, so that the stopper 93 is not received by the restricting portion 56 of the cap 10. The restricting piece 96 in this state is positioned below the lower surface opening of the shaping grip 20 as shown in FIG.

  Next, the shaping rod 21 is supported horizontally with the comb teeth 28 facing upward, and the eyelashes are brought into contact with the outer surface of the heater 29 while the curved central portion of the eyelashes is separated by the comb teeth 28. In this state, the eyelashes are scooped upward, and the heating window 77 is rotated toward the eyebrows to curl the eyelashes. Furthermore, the eyelashes can be reliably curled up to the tip of the hair by pushing the entire heating shaping portion 22 upward while heating the curled portion with the heater 29. Similarly, the eyelashes on the side of the eye and the side of the outside of the eye can be curled by the heating shaping unit 22. When the eyelashes are curled, it is possible to restrict the lateral movement of the captured eyelashes along the curled surface 32 by the comb teeth 28, and accordingly, a group of eyelashes captured by the adjacent comb teeth 28 can be appropriately curled.

  When the mascara liquid is applied, the shaping body 3 is connected to the application body 2, the heating shaping portion 22 is accommodated in the application rod 11, and the shaping body 3 is integrated with the application body 2 again. In this state, as shown in FIG. 16, the positioning rib 53 provided on the screw cap 52 is engaged with the positioning groove 58 provided on the shaping grip 20. Therefore, when the shaping grip 20 is rotated in the loosening direction, the screwed state of the screw cap 52 and the screw shaft 5 is released, and the application body 2 can be removed from the container 1 as shown in FIG. The cap 10 at this time is engaged and captured by the elastic connection arm 68 of the connection ring 64.

  When the switch knob 34 is turned on with the application body 2 removed from the container 1, the switch structure is switched to the first on state, the heater 29 generates heat, and the application unit 12 can be maintained at an appropriate temperature (40 ° C.). . Thereby, the temperature of the mascara liquid adhering to the application part 12 is raised, the mascara liquid is uniformly diffused and adjusted to a state in which it flows easily, and the mascara liquid held between the comb teeth 18 is adhered to the eyelashes. Can do. If the mascara liquid is insufficient, the application unit 12 is put in and out of the container 1 several times to allow the mascara liquid to adhere, and the excess mascara adhering to the periphery of the application unit 12 is scrubbed off with the wiper 6, and the mascara again. Adhere the liquid to the eyelashes. Finally, using a mascara comb, the eyelash curl shape can be adjusted by pouring the eyelashes several times. Since the application part 12 at the time of putting in and out in the container 1 is only put in and out with respect to the container 1, it is inserted below from the position where the ends of the screw shaft 5 and the screw hole 16 are in contact with each other. Therefore, the switch knob 34 is not returned to the off position.

  When the environmental temperature is low, the shaping grip 20 is rotated several times in the loosening direction to secure a gap in which the regulating piece 96 can move downward between the screw cap 52 and the shoulder of the container 1. The switch knob 34 is turned on to cause the heater 29 to generate heat and heat the application unit 12. In this case, since the application unit 12 is heated to 40 ° C. by the heater 29, the mascara liquid in the container 1 can be heated to lower the viscosity and to impart fluidity.

  As described above, when the switch knob 34 is switched to the first ON state, the tip of the stopper 93 is received by the restricting portion 56 provided on the shoulder portion of the screw cap 52 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the switch knob 34 is not switched to the second on state beyond the first on state, and the temperature of the application unit 12 can be maintained at 40 ° C.

  As described above, when the heating temperature of the heater 29 in a state where the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2 is set to a low temperature state and the output of the heater 29 is suppressed, the temperature of the application unit 12 becomes unnecessarily high. Can be prevented. Moreover, in the state which apply | coated part 12 was immersed in the mascara liquid in the container 1, the viscosity can be reduced, preventing volatile components, such as a solvent, evaporating mischievously and a mascara liquid changing and deteriorating. Therefore, the mascara liquid with appropriate fluidity can be attached to the application part 12 to suitably apply the mascara liquid to the eyelashes. Further, when the heating temperature of the heater 29 in a state where the shaping body 3 is separated from the application body 2 and shaping the eyelashes is set to a high temperature state, the temperature of the heating shaping unit 22 is increased to effectively heat the eyelashes. While shaping, it can be curled accurately.

  The heating temperature of the heater 29 when the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2 is set to the same high temperature as the heating temperature of the heater 29 when the shaping body 3 is separated from the application body 2. When the application unit 12 is inserted into the container 1 to heat the mascara liquid, the amount of heating heat becomes excessive, and the mascara liquid is easily deteriorated and deteriorated. In order to avoid such a situation, for example, the inner space of the application rod 11 can be increased or the thickness of the application rod 11 can be increased. However, the application rod 11 becomes thicker or the diameter becomes larger. , Usability worsens. In order to eliminate such problems, the heat generation temperature of the heater 29 in a state where the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2 is set to a low temperature state so that the output of the heater 29 can be suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, the switching operation of the switch knob 34 when the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2 is regulated by the regulation unit 56, and the heat generation temperature of the heater 29 is set to a low temperature state. There is no. For example, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, a detection switch 110 that detects that the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2 is provided at a contact portion between the cap 10 and the shaping grip 20. Based on the detection signal of the switch 110, the heat generation state of the heater 29 can be set to a low temperature state. Specifically, the detection switch 110 is configured by the conduction ring 111 fixed to the upper end of the rod boss 57 and the pair of contacts 112 supported by the connection ring 64 so as to be able to protrude and retract. Both contacts 112 are urged and advanced by springs 113 respectively. In a state where the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2, the pair of contacts 112 are brought into contact with the conduction ring 111 and are conducted, so that the control circuit receiving the conduction signal lowers the heat generation temperature of the heater 29. The drive current is supplied as follows. In this case, the switch knob 34 may be formed of a push button switch that simply switches between an on state and an off state.

  In the above embodiment, the restricting portion 56 is provided on the shoulder wall of the screw cap 52, but it is not necessary, and the restricting portion 56 can be formed around the connecting boss 54. Further, when the switch knob 34 is pushed upward from the off position, the first on state can be set. In that case, the restriction piece (stopper) 96 described in the previous embodiment is received by the restriction portion 56 provided on the cap 10 to restrict the switch knob 34 from being pushed up to the second ON state. can do. The heater 29 does not have to be a planar heater, and may be configured using a nichrome wire as a heating element. The application element 18 may be a bristle bundle other than the comb teeth. In addition to the first and second on states, the heat generation state of the heater 29 can be appropriately set to a temperature state intermediate between the two states or a temperature state higher than the second on state. The beauty tool according to the present invention can be configured by the application body 2 and the shaping body 3 without the container 1. In that case, it is preferable to cover the outer surface of the application body 2 with a protective cap.

  19 to 25 show another embodiment of the mascara applicator according to the present invention. 19 and 20, the mascara applicator is composed of a container 1 that contains mascara liquid, an applicator 2 that is attached to and detached from the container 1, and a shaped body 3 that is attached to and detached from the applicator 2. The container 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and an entrance / exit 4 of the application body 2 is opened at the upper end thereof. A screw shaft 5 is formed on the peripheral surface of the entrance / exit 4, and a wiper 6 is provided on the inner surface of the entrance / exit 4 for squeezing off the excessively adhered mascara liquid. The wiper 6 is formed of a cylindrical body made of rubber or plastic material, and an ironing opening 7 is formed on the bottom wall thereof.

  The application body 2 is provided at a cylindrical application grip (cap) 10 that is attached to and detached from the entrance 4 of the container 1, a hollow-shaft application rod 11 that is inserted into the container 1, and a lower end portion of the application rod 11. It is comprised with the application part 12. FIG. The inside of the application grip 10 is divided into a lower section 14 and an upper section 15 by a partition wall 13, and a screw hole 16 corresponding to the screw shaft 5 is formed in the inner periphery of the lower section 14. A similar screw hole 17 is formed in the inner periphery of the upper section 15. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the application unit 12 is configured by radially arranging a group of bristle bundles (application elements) 18 around the application rod 11, and the bristle bundles 18 constituting the bristle bundle 18 are formed. The mascara liquid can be held between the gap or the proximal end portion of the bristle bundle 18.

  The shaping body 3 includes a cylindrical shaping grip 20, a hollow shaping rod 21 that protrudes downward from the lower end of the shaping grip 20, a heating shaping portion 22 provided at the lower end (protruding end) of the shaping rod 21, and the like. The shaping grip 20 includes a cylindrical grip body 23 and a cap (battery cover) 24 that opens and closes an opening at the upper end of the grip body 23, and corresponds to the screw hole 17 at the lower end of the grip body 23. A screw shaft 25 is formed. The cap 24 is screwed onto the grip body 23.

  In FIG. 21, the heating shaping section 22 is composed of a group of partial arc-shaped comb teeth 28 arranged in a multi-stage shape, and a heater 29 is arranged therein. The heater 29 is composed of a single heater wire that is folded in a U shape at the lower end inside the heating shaping section 22, and this heater wire is surrounded by a nichrome wire 31 around a heater support shaft 30 formed of an insulating material. Is spirally wound (see FIG. 22). A curled surface 32 for curling the eyelashes is formed between the comb teeth 28. A part of the previous heater 29 is exposed between the curled surfaces 32, so that the eyelashes can be brought into contact with the heater 29 when the eyelashes are curled by the heating shaping unit 22. A battery 33 serving as a power source for the heater 29 is housed inside the grip body 23, and a switch knob 34 for turning on / off the energization state of the heater 29 is provided on the peripheral surface of the grip body 23. The battery 33 can be replaced by removing the cap 24 from the grip body 23.

  The application rod 11 of the application body 2 is inserted into the container 1 from the inlet / outlet 4, and the screw hole 16 provided in the application grip 10 is screwed into the screw shaft 5, thereby closing the inlet / outlet 4 with the application body 2 and sealing the container 1. it can. The most part of the application part 12 and the application rod 11 in this state is immersed in the mascara liquid accommodated in the container. Further, the heating shaping portion 22 and the shaping rod 21 of the shaping body 3 are inserted into the inside of the application rod 11 from the upper section 15, and the screw shaft 25 provided on the grip body 23 is screwed into the screw hole 17 provided on the application grip 10. Thus, the shaping body 3 can be integrated with the application body 2.

  As described above, in order to simplify the appearance of the mascara applicator in a state where the container 1, the application body 2, and the shaping body 3 are integrated, the container 1, the application body 2, and the shaping body 3 have the same cross-sectional shape and diameter (see FIG. 23). Furthermore, the container 1, the application body 2, and the shaping body 3 are arranged linearly so as to be adjacent in the order described from the bottom. The vertical length of the container 1 excluding the screw shaft 5 is substantially the same as the vertical length of the shaping grip 20 excluding the screw shaft 25, and the vertical length of the application grip 10 is the vertical length of the container 1 excluding the screw shaft 5. One third of the above.

  The heating shaping part 22 in a state where the container 1, the application body 2 and the shaping body 3 are integrated is housed in the application rod 11 together with the shaping rod 21 and is located inside the application part 12, as shown in FIG. Yes. Accordingly, when the switch knob 34 is turned on, the heater 29 generates heat to heat the heating shaping unit 22, and the heat of the heating shaping unit 22 can be conducted to the coating unit 12 through the cylindrical wall of the coating rod 11. . The temperature of the heat shaping unit 22 in the heat generation state is about 70 ° C., and the temperature of the peripheral surface of the application rod 11 in the application unit 12 is 40 to 50 ° C. When the heater 29 is heated while the application unit 12 is loaded in the container 1, the solidified mascara liquid can be heated to about 40 ° C.

  The mascara applicator configured as described above can be used when performing operations of shaping and curling eyelashes and applying mascara liquid. When shaping and curling the eyelashes, as shown in FIG. 25A, the shaping body 3 is removed from the application body 2, the heating shaping section 22 is exposed, and the switch knob 34 is turned on in that state. The heater 29 is caused to generate heat. Next, the shaping rod 21 is supported horizontally with the comb teeth 28 facing upward, and the curled surface 32 is applied to the eyelashes while the curved central portion of the eyelashes is being separated by the comb teeth 28. In this state, the eyelashes are scooped upward while being heated by the heater 29, and the curled surface 32 is further rotated toward the eyebrows to curl the eyelashes. While holding this state and heating the curled portion with the heater 29, the entire heat shaping portion 22 is pushed upward, so that the eyelashes can be curled to the tip portion reliably. Similarly, the eyelashes on the side of the eye and the side of the outside of the eye can be curled by the heating shaping unit 22. When the eyelashes are curled, it is possible to restrict the lateral movement of the captured eyelashes along the curled surface 32 by the comb teeth 28, and accordingly, a group of eyelashes captured by the adjacent comb teeth 28 can be appropriately curled. In this case, even if the shaping body 3 is removed from the container side, the mascara liquid will not spill if the application body 2 is attached to the container 1.

  When the eyelash shaping and curling operations are finished, the mascara liquid is applied using the application body 2. At this time, when the environmental temperature is low, as shown in FIG. 25B, the shaping body 3 is loaded inside the application body 2, the switch knob 34 is turned on, and the heater 29 is heated. By performing the coating operation, the coating unit 12 can be heated by the heating shaping unit 22. Therefore, the temperature of the mascara liquid adhering to the application part 12 is raised, and the mascara liquid in a state of being uniformly diffused and fluidized can be applied. When the environmental temperature is high, it is not necessary to turn on the switch knob 34. Further, in the state in which the shaping body 3 is integrated with the application body 2, as shown in FIG. 24, the application grip 10 and the shaping grip 20 can be held like a pencil, so that the application portion 12 is stabilized. The mascara solution can be simply applied while being held in a state.

  Finally, using a mascara comb, the eyelash curl shape can be adjusted by pouring the eyelashes several times. As described above, when it is not necessary to heat the application unit 12, the switch knob 34 is turned off. Alternatively, the mascara liquid can be applied by picking the application grip 10 while the shaped body 3 is separated from the application body 2, and in this case, the picking posture and inclination of the application grip 10 can be freely changed. . For example, it is possible to apply the mascara solution to the short eyelashes located at the eyes and the corners of the eye using the bristles of the bristle bundle 18 at the tip, or to adjust the application state of the applied mascara solution. In this way, the user can apply the mascara liquid by the application body 2 and the eyelashes by the shaping body 3 with the grips 10 and 20 in a favorite state, so that the usability of the mascara application tool can be improved.

  As described above, when the shaping body 3 for shaping the eyelashes is arranged inside the application body 2 to which the mascara liquid is applied, and the heating shaping section 22 provided on the shaping body 3 is heated by the heater 29, the heating shaping section 22 is The eyelash curl can be suitably performed at a temperature suitable for shaping the eyelashes. Further, in a state where the application unit 12 and the heating shaping unit 22 are accommodated in the container 1, the mascara liquid and the application unit 12 can be indirectly heated by the heat conducted from the heating shaping unit 22. The temperature can be prevented from becoming unnecessarily high, and thus the viscosity of the mascara liquid can be lowered while preventing the mascara liquid from being excessively heated and deteriorated. As described above, according to the mascara applicator in which the shaping body 3 is arranged inside the application body 2, the eyelash can be shaped and curled while heating at an appropriate temperature, or the mascara liquid is heated to an appropriate temperature to prevent deterioration. Can be reduced.

In this state, the shaping grip 20 can be stored inside the upper section 15. Further, in order to easily take out the shaped body 3, the pair of knobs 43 are formed in a bulging state at positions opposed to the peripheral surface of the cap 24. In the state where the shaping body 3 is mounted on the application body 2, the knobs 43 are exposed from the grooves 44 formed at two locations on the upper peripheral surface of the upper section 15, so that the pair of knobs 43 are gripped with the thumb and index finger. The shaped body 3 can be taken out from the application body 2. The switch knob 34 is disposed on the upper end surface of the cap 24. In the state where the shaping body 3 is mounted on the application body 2, the mounting state of the shaping body 3 can be maintained by lightly fitting the shaping grip 20 to the inner surface of the upper section 15.

  In the mascara applicator shown in FIG. 28, the shaping rod 21 includes a round shaft-shaped heat transfer shaft 46 formed of a heat pipe or aluminum, and a plastic covering 47 having heat insulation covering the outer surface of the heat transfer shaft 46. The heating shaping unit 22 is provided below the heat transfer shaft 46 exposed from the covering body 47. Further, a PTC heater (heater) 29 is arranged inside the shaping grip 20 so that the heat receiving portion 48 provided at the upper end of the heat transfer shaft 46 is brought into close contact with the PTC heater 29. Furthermore, a group of circumferential grooves was formed on the heat transfer shaft 46, and the heating shaping section 22 was configured with multi-stage comb teeth 28 formed between the grooves. As described above, the heating shaping unit 22 can be heated by heat indirectly transmitted from the heater 29 via the heat transfer shaft 46.

  In the mascara applicator shown in FIG. 29, the cross sections of the outer surfaces of the container 1, the application grip (cap) 10 of the application body 2, and the shaping grip 20 of the shaping body 3 are formed so that each side becomes a square with an outward bulge shape. did. Thus, the cross-sectional shapes of the container 1, the application grip 10, and the shaping grip 20 can be selected from arbitrary shapes such as an ellipse, an ellipse, a polygon, and a heart shape. Further, the application grip 10 and the shaping grip 20 can be freely selected irrespective of the difference in the outer shape or the thickness of the outer shape as long as they can be coupled.

  In addition to the above-described embodiment, the heating shaping unit 22 in a state where the shaping body 3 is attached to the application body 2 can be arranged in a state of being located in the vicinity of the application unit 12 inside the application rod 11. The application unit 12 can be formed in a state where the bristle bundle 18 and the comb teeth 38 are mixed. On the outer surface of the shaping grip 20, there can be provided an indicator lamp that lights up when the heater 29 is energized, an indicator lamp that lights up when the electromotive force of the battery 33 falls below a predetermined value, and the like. Moreover, the battery 33 can be comprised with a secondary battery, and it can be set as a rechargeable mascara applicator. In particular, if the secondary battery and the contact for charging are arranged on the shaping grip 20, charging can be performed with the shaping body 3 removed from the application body 2, so that the high temperature environment unfavorable for the mascara liquid in the container 1 or Even in an environment such as a low temperature environment, the secondary battery can be charged without exposing the container 1 and the mascara liquid to an unfavorable environment. Since the container 1 in this case is sealed with the application body 2, the mascara liquid does not flow out.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 19, the length of each of the rods 11 and 21 is set so that the application part 12 of the application body 2 and the heating shaping part 22 of the shaping body 3 can face each other. When the temperature is high and preheating of the mascara liquid is not required, the length of the shaping rod 21 can be shortened, and accordingly, the thermal diffusion of the heater 29 by the shaping rod 21 can be suppressed. The shaping rod 21 is preferably made of a material or shape having low thermal conductivity as long as it can satisfy the structure that can supply power to the heater 29. For example, polypropylene, ABS, vinylidene fluoride, soft PVC, Polystyrene, acrylic polystyrene, etc. can be applied. Furthermore, the shaping rod 21 is preferably formed of a foamed molded product, especially an independent foamed molded product.

  The cross-sectional shapes of the application rod 11 and the shaping rod 21 may be elliptical or polygonal. The application rod 11 can be formed of a flexible resin tube having high water repellency, such as silicon, fluorine, polypropylene, and polyethylene, which is difficult to fix the mascara liquid. In that case, the outer shape of the application rod 11 can be straightened along the axial direction by inserting the shaping rod 21 having rigidity and hardness higher than that of the application rod 11 into the application rod 11 having flexibility. There will be no trouble in use.
