Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator used for applying cosmetics to an object.

  Conventionally, for example, as a cosmetic applicator used for applying eye shadow to a wrinkle, an application body provided at the tip of a shaft body of the cosmetic applicator is formed of a material such as urethane resin or synthetic resin. A cosmetic applicator is known in which the applicator is elastically deformable (Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3).

  For example, in Patent Document 1, the shape of the tip of the shaft body to which the application body is attached is formed in an elliptical rotating body, and is formed of a material such as urethane resin that covers the tip of the elliptical shaft body. A cosmetic applicator is described in which the shape of the application body is an elliptical sphere. Patent Documents 2 and 3 describe cosmetic applicators in which the tip of a shaft body to which an application body is attached is formed in a bifurcated shape.

  According to the cosmetic applicator described in Patent Document 1, since the shape of the application body is elliptical, the cosmetic can be applied in an application amount according to the purpose. However, since the shaft body of the cosmetic applicator to which the application body is attached is formed in a single rod shape, when applying the cosmetic material to the wrinkle having a convex curve, the application body is made to conform to the shape of the wrinkle. It was difficult. If the coated body cannot be made to follow the shape of the ridge in this way, the heel is given a hard and uncomfortable feeling.

  On the other hand, in the cosmetic applicator described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the bifurcated shape of the tip of the shaft body to which the application body is attached is formed symmetrically. Therefore, if the application body is slid along the curve of the wrinkle, force is evenly applied to the application body by the tip of the bilaterally symmetric shaft, and the cosmetics carried on the application surface cannot be shaded and applied. It was difficult to finish cosmetics with a natural gradation. In addition, many women have problems such as poor eye shadow and time consuming, and an improvement for easily finishing the eye shadow into a natural gradation is desired.

  Therefore, this invention relates to the cosmetic applicator which can eliminate the fault which the prior art mentioned above has.

  The present invention is a cosmetic applicator including a gripping part and an application part, wherein the application part includes a shaft body extending from the gripping part, and a deformable member that covers the shaft body on a distal end side of the shaft body The shaft body includes a branch portion where the shaft body branches on the side opposite to the grip portion, and a first branch extending from the branch portion to one side. A shaft portion and a second shaft portion that branches and extends from the branch portion to the other, and the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion are partially or entirely covered with the application body. The first shaft portion and the second shaft portion provide a cosmetic applicator formed asymmetrically around the shaft of the shaft body at the branch portion.

  According to the present invention, for example, when used as a cosmetic applicator for eye shadows, the applied body can be deformed along the curve of the eyelid, it is difficult to give a feeling of discomfort to the eyelid, and it has an excellent fit to the three-dimensional shape of the eyelid. With this application, it is possible to apply eye shadow cosmetics to most of the eyelids from the eyes to the corners of the eyes, and finish the applied cosmetics with a natural gradation. As a result, the makeup time can be shortened.

  The shape of the application body 5 will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 2, the one side edge 5s1 of the application body 5 is in the longitudinal direction (X direction) on the basis of the state where the projected area when viewed in plan is the largest. It is formed in a straight line shape extending in parallel with. Similarly, the other side edge 5s2 of the application body 5 is formed in a straight line shape extending parallel to the longitudinal direction (X direction). Further, the position of the lower end portion in the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the one side edge 5s1 and the position of the lower end portion in the longitudinal direction (X direction) of the other side edge 5s2 are the same position in the longitudinal direction (X direction). It is arranged. Next, the upper end edge 5e1 of the application body 5 is recessed inward in the vicinity of the virtual application body center line IL2, and the portions located on the extensions of the first shaft portion 44 and the second shaft portion 45 of the shaft body 4 are outside. It is formed in an S shape that is convex in the direction. Moreover, the lower end edge 5e2 of the application body 5 is formed in a straight line shape extending in parallel with the width direction (Y direction). The left and right ends of the upper edge 5e1 are smoothly connected to the upper edge of the one side edge 5s1 and the upper edge of the other side edge 5s2. The left and right end portions of the lower end edge 5e2 are smoothly connected to the lower end portion of the one side edge 5s1 and the lower end portion of the other side edge 5s2.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cosmetic applicator 1 is based on a state where the projected area when viewed in plan is the largest, and the full width (W) of the wide part at the widest part of the application body 5. Of the distance (d) between the center position (width center position) P1 of the first shaft portion 44 of the shaft body 4 and the center position (width center position) P2 of the second shaft portion 45 (d / W), when using the cosmetic applicator 1 to make up, it is possible to rub the cosmetics upward from the eyes and achieve a natural gradation make-up, 0.3 or more Preferably 0.5 or more, more preferably 0.95 or less, still more preferably 0.85 or less, specifically 0.3 or more and 0.00. It is preferably 95 or less, more preferably 0.5 or more and 0.85 or less. . In addition, when the shaft body 4 does not extend to the widest part of the application body 5, a state in which the shaft body 4 is extended in the X direction from the distal end portion is virtually determined.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the cosmetic applicator 1 uses the projected area of the application body 5 as the application body area (At) with reference to the state where the projected area when the application body 5 is viewed in plan is the largest. And the area of the portion corresponding to the portion 41 of the shaft body covered with the application body 5 (the portion including the first shaft portion 44, the second shaft portion 45 and the branch portion 43 in the cosmetic applicator 1) When the area corresponding to the part where the shaft body 4 does not exist in the application body 5 is defined as the body area (Aj), and the area corresponding to the shaft body non-existence area (At-Aj), the shaft body non-existence area relative to the application body area (At) ( The ratio of (At-Aj) ((At-Aj) / At) is preferably 0.2 or more and 0.9 or less, more preferably 0.3 or more and 0.85 or less, and 0.4 or more.

When the ratio ((At−Aj) / At) is within such a range, the shaft body is used when the application body 5 is slid on the surface of the cosmetic material and the cosmetic material is attached to the application body 5 and removed. As the distance from the part 41 to the application body 5 increases, the pressure tends to decrease, and as the distance from the shaft part 41 to the application body 5 increases, the amount of cosmetics that can be taken tends to decrease. Furthermore, when applying makeup, as the distance from the portion 41 of the shaft body to the application body 5 increases, the pressure tends to decrease, and the amount of the cosmetic material that shifts from the application body 5 to the eyelid tends to decrease. Therefore, if the cosmetic applicator 1 within the above range is used, for example, the cosmetic can be applied upward from the eyes, and a natural gradation makeup can be realized.

  Moreover, as for the cosmetic applicator 1, as shown in FIG. 1, both application surfaces 5f and 5f of the application body 5 become a substantially planar shape. The substantially flat surface referred to here may be in a flat state, and may have a fine wave shape or unevenness.
