  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view showing a configuration of a nail art brush 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. As shown in FIG. 1, the nail art brush 1 according to the present embodiment mainly includes a handle portion 10 and a brush portion 11 attached to one end of the handle portion 10, and the brush portion 11 has long hair. A bundle 11a and a short hair bundle 11b are provided. A means for attaching the long hair bundle 11a and the short hair bundle 11b to the handle portion is not particularly limited, and for example, it may be adhered and fixed, or may be provided with a base portion.

  Examples of the material of the handle 10 include wood, resin material, metal, and the like. Although it does not specifically limit as a shape of the handle | pattern part 10, For example, cylindrical rod shape etc. are mentioned.

  The brush portion 11 includes a long hair bundle 11a and a short hair bundle 11b that is shorter and wider than the long hair bundle 11a. In the brush part 11, the central part of the long hair bundle and the central part of the short hair bundle are located on the same plane passing through the axis of the handle part 10. The hair used for the long hair bundle 11a and the short hair bundle 11b is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include natural fibers and synthetic fibers. Examples of natural fibers include animal fibers and plant fibers. Although it does not specifically limit as animal fiber, For example, horse hair, pig hair, goat hair, gray squirrel hair, etc. are mentioned. Although it does not specifically limit as plant fiber, For example, palm etc. are mentioned. Although it does not specifically limit as a synthetic fiber, For example, nylon, polyester, etc. are mentioned.

  The long hair bundle 11a is more preferable when the hair tips are formed in a substantially arc shape since the hair tips can be more reliably aligned with the base of the nail. In particular, it is easy to handle for elderly people and men who are not used to nail art.

  The short hair bundle 11b is curved toward the long hair bundle side or bent toward the long hair bundle side at the center. Therefore, it can be applied in accordance with the shape of any wide nail. Further, it is more preferable that the short hair bundle is bent or bent so that both ends of the short hair bundle cover the long hair bundle so that the long hair bundle does not expand beyond the width of the short hair bundle at the time of application.

  The length of the long hair | bristle bundle 11a is 8-22 mm, and 10-20 mm is preferable. The difference in length between the long hair bundle 11a and the short hair bundle 11b is 1 to 8 mm, preferably 3 to 6 mm. In the case of these lengths, the amount of the nail cosmetic to be applied becomes an appropriate amount, and the application work is easy.

Width _{W 1} of the bristle tips of long hair bundle 11a is a 1~10mm, 2~8mm is preferable. Width _{W 2} of the bristles of short hair bundle 11b is a 6~22mm, 8~20mm is preferable. In the case of these widths, the nail cosmetic can be applied to all nails of the limbs at once, regardless of age or sex.

  When applying nail cosmetics to narrow nails 101, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), it is often possible to apply only one long hair bundle 11a at a time, in which case the short hair bundle 11b touches the nail. Without applying the nail cosmetic.

  On the other hand, when the nail cosmetic is applied to the wide nail 102, the width of the nail is wider than the width of the long hair bundle 11a when the hair tip of the long hair bundle 11a is applied to the base of the nail at a time. If this is not possible, the short hair bundle 11b is long as shown in FIGS. 3 (b) and 3 (c) by pressing the long hair bundle 11a against the base of the nail while standing the handle in a direction substantially perpendicular to the nail. It hits the base of the nail so as to cover from the top of the hair bundle 11a. At this time, the long hair bundle 11a is hidden by the short hair bundle 11b when the nail is viewed from above. Then, the nail art brush 1 is moved toward the tip of the nail while the handle is pressed against the nail until the width of the short hair bundle 11b matches the width of the nail. With this operation, the nail cosmetic can be applied at once even with the wide nail 102. Further, for example, it can be easily applied even to elderly people or men with little experience in nail art.

Yes.

  By making the short hair bundle 21b into a plurality of parts, the nail cosmetic adheres to each part of the short hair bundle 21b, so that the amount of nail cosmetic attached to the entire short hair bundle 21b is reduced and used. The amount of nail cosmetic can be reduced. In addition, although embodiment which divided the short hair | bristle bundle 21b into 2 was shown in FIG.6 and 7, it is not limited to this, You may divide into 3 or more.
