Description

本発明はマスカラ塗布具に関する。 The present invention relates to mascara applicators.

従来より種々の形状の塗布部を備えたマスカラ塗布具が提案されている。
例えば下記特許文献１では、長手方向に対して曲面からなる少なくとも２つ以上の凸部が、軸部材を軸として対称に配置されたブラシ形状を有する化粧料塗布具が提案されていた。この化粧料塗布具では、ブラシ毛が円弧若しくは楕円弧または放物線等の曲面を有していた。 Conventionally, mascara applicators having applicator portions of various shapes have been proposed.
For example, Patent Literature 1 below proposes a cosmetic applicator having a brush shape in which at least two convex portions each having a curved surface in the longitudinal direction are arranged symmetrically with respect to a shaft member. In this cosmetic applicator, the bristles have a curved surface such as an arc, an elliptical arc, or a parabola.

また下記特許文献２では、弧状に形成された芯部材に、円弧または楕円弧または放物線等の曲面からなる凸部を２つ以上設けるようにブラシ毛を配設した化粧料塗布具が提案されていた。この化粧料塗布具では、弧状に形成された芯部材にブラシ毛を配設することで、カーブした瞼に生えている睫毛に塗布部を当接させ易くして、煩雑な塗布作業を少なくしたり、睫毛全体に平均的に塗布できるようにしたりしていた。 Further, Patent Document 2 below proposes a cosmetic applicator in which brush bristles are arranged such that two or more protrusions each having a curved surface such as a circular arc, an elliptical arc, or a parabola are provided on an arc-shaped core member. . In this cosmetic applicator, since the brush bristles are arranged on the core member formed in an arc shape, the application part can be easily brought into contact with the eyelashes growing on the curved eyelid, thereby reducing complicated application work. Or, it was possible to evenly apply it to the entire eyelashes.

しかしながら、従来のマスカラ塗布具は睫毛の途中位置から先端側にマスカラ液を容易に塗布できるようにブラシ形状が設けられていた。そのため瞼の睫毛に存在する成人毛や産毛など、どんな成長過程の睫毛にも十分に対応できるものではなかった。また人間の睫毛は瞼の粘膜の中から生え出しているが、睫毛の生え際からマスカラ液を塗布することは難しく、手間を要していた。特に 上下の瞼における鼻側の端部付近の短い睫毛や、その睫毛の粘膜内に存在する根元部分からマスカラ液を塗布することが顕著に手間を要していた。 However, the conventional mascara applicator is provided with a brush shape so that the mascara liquid can be easily applied from the midpoint to the tip of the eyelashes. Therefore, it is not suitable for eyelashes in any growth process, such as adult hair and downy hair existing in the eyelashes of the eyelid. In addition, since human eyelashes grow from the mucous membrane of the eyelid, it is difficult and time-consuming to apply the mascara liquid from the hairline of the eyelashes. In particular, applying the mascara liquid from the short eyelashes near the nose-side ends of the upper and lower eyelids and the root portion of the eyelashes existing in the mucous membrane has been remarkably troublesome.

そこで本発明では、瞼の鼻側の端部付近の粘膜内に存在する根元部分から容易にマスカラ液を塗布することができるマスカラ塗布具を提供することを目的とする。 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mascara applicator capable of easily applying mascara liquid from the root portion present in the mucous membrane near the nose-side end of the eyelid.

上記目的を達成する本発明のマスカラ塗布具は、使用者が手指により保持する保持部と、保持部から１軸方向に延びる軸部と、軸部の先端に設けられた塗布部と、を備え、塗布部は、軸部の先端から延びて弧状に湾曲した芯部と、湾曲した芯部全体に略全周囲に突出するように配設された多数のブラシ毛と、を有するマスカラ塗布具であり、芯部の先端が軸部の延長上に一致するように配置されるとともに、芯部の先端側の略全周囲に突出した多数のブラシ毛の毛先からなる立体形状が芯部の先端に向けて先細りとなる錘形状を有することを特徴としている。 A mascara applicator according to the present invention for achieving the above object comprises a holding portion held by a user's fingers, a shaft portion extending in one axial direction from the holding portion, and an application portion provided at the tip of the shaft portion. The mascara applicator has an arc-shaped core extending from the tip of the shaft, and a large number of bristles protruding substantially all around the curved core. The tip of the core is arranged so that it coincides with the extension of the shaft, and the tip of the core has a three-dimensional shape consisting of a large number of bristle tips protruding almost all around the tip of the core. It is characterized by having a conical shape that tapers toward.

本発明のマスカラ塗布具では、塗布部がブラシ毛を芯材間に配置して捻られた捻りブラシからなり、錘形状が、芯材を複数回転以上捻られた区間に配設されたブラシ毛により形成されているのがよい。 In the mascara applicator of the present invention, the applicator part consists of a twisted brush in which the bristles are arranged between the core materials and twisted, and the bristles of the spindle shape are arranged in the section where the core material is twisted multiple times or more. It is preferably formed by

本発明のマスカラ塗布具では、前端側を除く軸部に配設された多数のブラシ毛の毛先からなる立体形状が、芯部の長手方向に沿って凸部と凹部とを繰り返す波形の輪郭を有し、複数の凸部の頂部を結ぶ仮想曲線が芯部の湾曲形状と同じに形成されているのがよい。
その場合、凸部と凹部との高低差が３．９ｍｍ以下であってもよい。 In the mascara applicator of the present invention, the three-dimensional shape made up of the ends of a large number of brush bristles arranged on the shaft portion excluding the front end side has a wavy contour that repeats convex portions and concave portions along the longitudinal direction of the core portion. and an imaginary curve connecting the apexes of the plurality of projections is preferably formed in the same shape as the curved shape of the core.
In that case, the height difference between the convex portion and the concave portion may be 3.9 mm or less.

本発明のマスカラ塗布具によれば、芯部の先端が軸部の延長上に一致するように配置されているので、使用者が保持部を保持して塗布部を上下の瞼の縁に近接させる際、塗布部の先端の位置を使用者が把握しやすいとともに、使用者が保持部を保持した状態で、軸周りに角度がずれていても、塗布部の先端の位置が変化しない。そのため塗布部の先端を上下の瞼の鼻側の端部近傍に接近させ易い。 According to the mascara applicator of the present invention, since the tip of the core portion is arranged to coincide with the extension of the shaft portion, the user can hold the holding portion and bring the applicator portion close to the edges of the upper and lower eyelids. A user can easily grasp the position of the tip of the applying part when the holding part is held, and the position of the tip of the applying part does not change even if the angle deviates around the axis while the user is holding the holding part. Therefore, it is easy to bring the tip of the applicator closer to the vicinity of the nose-side ends of the upper and lower eyelids.

しかも芯部の先端側の略全周囲に突出した多数のブラシ毛の毛先からなる立体形状が、芯部の先端に向けて先細りとなる錘形状を有するので、先端付近のブラシ毛が芯部の先端側程短くなって毛先が一定勾配で傾斜している。そのため塗布部の先端側を瞼の鼻側の端部近傍に接近させたとき、塗布部の先端側のブラシ毛の毛先を端部近傍の瞼の縁に沿って配置させ易い。
従って、瞼の鼻側の端部付近における粘膜内に並んで存在する睫毛の根元部分から容易にマスカラ液を塗布することができるマスカラ塗布具を提供することができる。 Moreover, since the three-dimensional shape consisting of the ends of many bristles protruding almost all around the tip of the core has a conical shape that tapers toward the tip of the core, the bristles near the tip are the same as the core. The tip of the hair becomes shorter toward the tip side, and the tip of the hair is inclined at a constant gradient. Therefore, when the tip side of the application part is brought close to the vicinity of the nose-side end of the eyelid, the tip of the brush bristles on the tip side of the application part can be easily arranged along the edge of the eyelid in the vicinity of the end.
Therefore, it is possible to provide a mascara applicator that can easily apply mascara liquid from the root portion of the eyelashes existing side by side in the mucous membrane near the nose-side end of the eyelid.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図を用いて詳細に説明する。
図１は本実施形態のマスカラ塗布具を示す側面図であり、図２はマスカラ塗布具の塗布部の先端側を示す部分拡大図である。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view showing the mascara applicator of this embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view showing the distal end side of the mascara applicator of the mascara applicator.

図１に示すように、本実施形態のマスカラ塗布具１０は、使用者が手指により保持する保持部１１と、保持部１１から軸線Ｌ方向に直線的に延びる軸部１２と、軸部１２の先端に設けられた塗布部１３と、を備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the mascara applicator 10 of the present embodiment includes a holding portion 11 held by a user's fingers, a shaft portion 12 linearly extending from the holding portion 11 in the direction of the axis L, and a shaft portion 12. and an application part 13 provided at the tip.

塗布部１３は、軸部１２の先端から円弧、楕円弧、放物線等の弧状に湾曲して延びる芯部１４と、芯部１４から略直交方向に突出するように、芯部１４に沿って配設された多数のブラシ毛１５と、を有している。 The application portion 13 is arranged along the core portion 14 so as to protrude from the core portion 14 in a direction substantially orthogonal to the core portion 14 extending from the tip of the shaft portion 12 in an arc such as a circular arc, an elliptical arc, or a parabola. and a large number of brush bristles 15.

芯部１４は、成人の上下の瞼の粘膜の形状に略対応した湾曲形状を有し、その湾曲部分の幅が成人の上下の瞼の粘膜の幅と同等に形成されている。
この塗布部１３では、芯部１４の先端が軸部１２の延長上、好ましくは軸Ｌ上に一致するように配置されている。 The core part 14 has a curved shape substantially corresponding to the shape of the mucous membranes of the upper and lower eyelids of an adult, and the width of the curved portion is formed to be the same as the width of the mucous membranes of the upper and lower eyelids of an adult.
In the application portion 13, the tip of the core portion 14 is arranged so as to coincide with the extension of the shaft portion 12, preferably on the axis L. As shown in FIG.

本実施形態の塗布部１３は、金属細線等からなり先端で連結した一対の芯材１４ａ，１４ａ間に多数のブラシ毛１５が連続して配置されて捻られることで形成された捩りブラシからなる。
この塗布部１３では、芯部１４の湾曲部分の全体に連続するようにブラシ毛１５が配置され、各ブラシ毛１５が芯部１４に対して略直交方向両側に放射状に突出している。芯材１４ａ，１４ａが捩られることで、多数のブラシ毛１５がらせん状に略全周に突出して配置されている。そのため芯部１４の周囲の略全周囲に配設された多数のブラシ毛１５の毛先が立体形状を有している。 The application part 13 of the present embodiment is a twisted brush formed by twisting a large number of brush bristles 15 arranged continuously between a pair of core members 14a, 14a which are made of thin metal wires or the like and connected at their ends. .
In this application portion 13, brush bristles 15 are arranged so as to be continuous with the entire curved portion of the core portion 14, and the respective brush bristles 15 protrude radially to both sides of the core portion 14 in a substantially orthogonal direction. By twisting the core members 14a, 14a, a large number of brush bristles 15 are arranged to protrude in a helical shape substantially around the entire circumference. Therefore, the ends of a large number of brush bristles 15 arranged substantially all around the core 14 have a three-dimensional shape.

多数のブラシ毛１５の毛先からなる立体形状は、概略で芯部１４を中心とした回転体形状を有する。
実施形態では、芯部１４の先端側の略全周囲において 一対の芯材１４ａ，１４ａを複数回転以上捻られた区間に配設された多数のブラシ毛１５の毛先からなる立体形状が、芯部１４の先端に向けて先細りとなる錘形状を有している。錘形状としては、円錐形状であっても、多角錘形状であってもよいが、本実施形態では角錐形状の所謂ピラミッド状に形成されている。 The three-dimensional shape formed by the tips of the numerous brush bristles 15 has a general shape of a body of revolution centered on the core portion 14 .
In the embodiment, a three-dimensional shape consisting of the ends of a large number of brush bristles 15 arranged in a section where a pair of core materials 14a, 14a are twisted a plurality of times or more around the tip side of the core part 14 is the core. It has a conical shape that tapers toward the tip of the portion 14 . The pyramid shape may be a cone shape or a polygonal pyramid shape, but in the present embodiment, it is formed in a so-called pyramid shape of a pyramid shape.

芯部１４の先端側の全周囲に角錐形状を形成するには、例えば、ろくろを使って仕上げる陶芸の一輪挿しのようにすることで形成することができる。 In order to form the pyramid shape around the entire periphery of the tip side of the core part 14, for example, it can be formed by using a potter's wheel to finish a pottery vase.

先端側を除く芯部１４の周囲の立体形状では、芯部１４の長手方向に沿って３～５個の略同形状の凸部１６及び凹部１７が繰り返して設けられていて、波側の側周囲から見た輪郭形状が波形を有している。各凸部１６の輪郭が円弧、楕円弧、放物線等の凸曲線に形成されて、隣接する凸部１６間の凹部１７も円弧、楕円弧、放物線等の凸曲線に形成されている。 In the three-dimensional shape around the core portion 14 except for the tip side, three to five substantially identically shaped convex portions 16 and concave portions 17 are repeatedly provided along the longitudinal direction of the core portion 14. The outline shape seen from the surroundings has a waveform. The outline of each convex portion 16 is formed in a convex curve such as a circular arc, an elliptical arc, or a parabola, and the concave portions 17 between adjacent convex portions 16 are also formed in a convex curve such as a circular arc, an elliptical arc, or a parabola.

本実施形態で使用するブラシ毛１５としては、ストレート状のナイロン毛を用いることができる。
従来よりコーム型の構造は存在するが、本実施形態では、コーム型ではなく芯材１４にこのようなナイロン毛を付けることで、マスカラ液１８をたくさん抱き込んで保持し易くでき、それをくまなく産毛のような柔らかくて細い、生まれたての睫毛にまで塗布することができるようにしている。また、粘膜構造に特に適したマスカラ塗布具であるため、コーム型よりも粘膜部分への肌当たりが優しく、傷つけ難くできるからである。 As the brush bristles 15 used in this embodiment, straight nylon bristles can be used.
Conventionally, a comb type structure exists, but in this embodiment, by attaching such nylon bristles to the core material 14 instead of the comb type, it is possible to easily hold and hold a large amount of the mascara liquid 18, which can be used as a dark circle. It can be applied even to newly born eyelashes that are soft and thin like downy hair. In addition, since the mascara applicator is particularly suitable for the mucous membrane structure, it is gentler on the skin than the comb-type mucous applicator, and is less likely to damage the mucous membrane.

本実施形態の立体形状の輪郭の芯部１４からの距離、即ち、芯部１４から直交方向に突出した多数のブラシ毛１５の突出長さは、０．１ｍｍ～４ｍｍとするのがよい。芯部１４からのブラシ毛の突出長さが過剰に長いと、マスカラ液１８を塗布する際、塗布部１３を睫毛の根元に接近させ難くなる。一方、過剰に短いと、マスカラ液１８を抱き込む含力が弱まり塗布に手間を要する。このため、適度な長さが必要である。 The distance from the core 14 of the contour of the three-dimensional shape of the present embodiment, that is, the length of projection of the numerous brush bristles 15 projecting in the orthogonal direction from the core 14 is preferably 0.1 mm to 4 mm. If the protruding length of the brush bristles from the core portion 14 is excessively long, it becomes difficult to bring the application portion 13 close to the roots of the eyelashes when applying the mascara liquid 18 . On the other hand, if it is excessively short, the force containing the mascara liquid 18 will be weakened, and the application will be troublesome. Therefore, an appropriate length is required.

また本実施形態では、立体形状の輪郭の凹部１７と凸部１６とが交互に繰り返される波形の高低差、詳細には各凸部１６における芯部１４から最も離間した距離、即ち芯部１４から直交方向に最大に突出したブラシ毛１５の長さと、各凹部１７における芯部１４から最も接近した距離、即ち芯部１４から直交方向に最小に突出したブラシ毛１５の長さと、の最大幅を３．９ｍｍ以下としている。 Further, in this embodiment, the height difference of the waveform in which the concave portions 17 and the convex portions 16 of the three-dimensional outline are alternately repeated, more specifically, the distance from the core portion 14 in each convex portion 16, that is, the distance from the core portion 14 The maximum width of the length of the brush bristles 15 protruding to the maximum in the orthogonal direction and the distance closest to the core 14 in each recess 17, that is, the length of the brush bristles 15 protruding to the minimum from the core 14 in the orthogonal direction. 3.9 mm or less.

波形の高低差が最大幅が過剰に大きいと、各凸部１６の立体形状における曲率が大きくなる結果、瞼の縁に近接させられる領域が狭くなり、マスカラ液１８を睫毛の根元部分に塗布できる範囲が狭くなる。
一方、波形の高低差が過剰に小さいと、マスカラ液１８を塗布する際に塗布部１３にマスカラ液１８を蓄える量が少なくなり、図示しない容器内に収容されたマスカラ液１８に頻繁に接触させなければならず、塗布操作に手間を要する。 If the maximum width of the height difference of the waveform is excessively large, the curvature of the three-dimensional shape of each convex portion 16 becomes large, and as a result, the area brought close to the edge of the eyelid becomes narrow, and the mascara liquid 18 can be applied to the root portion of the eyelashes. narrower range.
On the other hand, if the height difference of the waveform is excessively small, the amount of the mascara liquid 18 stored in the application portion 13 when applying the mascara liquid 18 decreases, and the mascara liquid 18 is frequently brought into contact with the mascara liquid 18 stored in a container (not shown). Therefore, the coating operation requires time and effort.

さらに塗布部１３を構成する多数本のブラシ毛１５の立体形状の輪郭は凹部１７と凸部１６とが交互に繰り返される波形を有するが、複数の凸部１６における芯部１４周りの同一位相における各凸部１６の頂部を結ぶ仮想曲線Ｃが、芯部１４の湾曲形状と同じ形状に略平行となるように形成されている。 Furthermore, the three-dimensional outline of the numerous brush bristles 15 constituting the application portion 13 has a waveform in which the concave portions 17 and the convex portions 16 are alternately repeated. A virtual curve C connecting the tops of the projections 16 is formed substantially parallel to the curved shape of the core 14 .

以上のような本実施形態のマスカラ塗布具１０によれば、芯部１４の先端が軸部１２の延長上に一致するように配置されているので、使用者が保持部１１を保持して塗布部１３を上下の瞼の縁に近接させる際、塗布部１３の先端の位置を使用者が把握しやすいとともに、使用者が保持部１１を保持した状態で、軸周りに角度がずれていても、塗布部１３の先端の位置が変化しない。そのため塗布部１３の先端を上下の瞼の鼻側の端部近傍に接近させ易い。 According to the mascara applicator 10 of the present embodiment as described above, the tip of the core portion 14 is arranged so as to coincide with the extension of the shaft portion 12, so that the user can hold the holding portion 11 to apply the mascara. When the portion 13 is brought close to the edges of the upper and lower eyelids, the user can easily grasp the position of the tip of the application portion 13, and even if the angle is deviated around the axis while the user holds the holding portion 11. , the position of the tip of the application portion 13 does not change. Therefore, it is easy to bring the tip of the applicator 13 closer to the vicinity of the nose-side ends of the upper and lower eyelids.

また芯部１４の先端側の略全周囲に配設された多数のブラシ毛１５の毛先からなる立体形状が、芯部１４の先端に向けて先細りとなる錘形状を有するので、先端付近のブラシ毛１５が芯部１４の先端側程短くなって毛先が一定勾配で傾斜している。そのため塗布部１３の先端側を上下の瞼の鼻側の端部近傍に接近させたとき、塗布部１３の先端側のブラシ毛１５の毛先を端部近傍の瞼の縁に沿って配置させ易い。
従って、上下の瞼の鼻側の端部付近における粘膜内に並んで存在する睫毛の根元部分から容易にマスカラ液１８を塗布することができる。 In addition, since the three-dimensional shape formed by the ends of a large number of brush bristles 15 arranged substantially all around the tip of the core 14 has a conical shape that tapers toward the tip of the core 14, The brush bristles 15 become shorter toward the tip side of the core part 14, and the tips of the bristles are inclined at a constant gradient. Therefore, when the tip side of the application part 13 is brought close to the vicinity of the nose-side end of the upper and lower eyelids, the tip of the brush bristles 15 on the tip side of the application part 13 is arranged along the edge of the eyelid in the vicinity of the end. easy.
Therefore, the mascara liquid 18 can be easily applied from the root portions of the eyelashes existing side by side in the mucous membrane near the ends on the nose side of the upper and lower eyelids.

また本実施形態のマスカラ塗布具１０においては、人間の瞼の粘膜は平均２ｍｍ程度であるが、この粘膜の形状に沿わせているので、本当の根元の根元部分の睫毛の生え際からマスカラ液１８を塗布できる。本実施形態では、瞼の粘膜の形状に沿った弓を描いており、その粘膜の厚みにフィットするようにブラシ毛１５を設けていて、さらにブラシ毛１５に凸凹形状を付けてマスカラ液１８を含みやすくしている。しかも先端先細りの所謂ピラミッド型にすることにより、従来届かなかった目頭の産毛部分に直接届くように構造している。つまり最大限に瞼の粘膜に適した構成にしているため、粘膜から生え出ている睫毛の生え際から塗布することが可能である。 In addition, in the mascara applicator 10 of the present embodiment, the mucous membrane of the human eyelid has an average thickness of about 2 mm. can be applied. In this embodiment, a bow is drawn along the shape of the mucous membrane of the eyelid, and the brush bristles 15 are provided so as to fit the thickness of the mucous membrane. Makes it easy to include. Moreover, by making it a so-called pyramid shape with a tapered tip, it is structured so that it can directly reach the downy hair part of the inner corner of the eye that could not be reached in the past. In other words, since the composition is optimized for the mucous membrane of the eyelid, it can be applied from the hairline of the eyelashes protruding from the mucous membrane.

また本実施形態のマスカラ塗布具１０では、塗布部１３がブラシ毛１５を一対の芯材１４ａ，１４ａ間に配置して捻られた捻りブラシからなり、錘形状が、一対の芯材１４ａ，１４ａを複数回転以上捻られた区間に配設されたブラシ毛１５により形成されている。そのため塗布部１３の錘形状の先端部分において、十分な量のブラシ毛１５を芯材１４ａ，１４ａ周囲の全方向に突出させることができる。これにより塗布時における軸周りの角度が多少ずれたとしても、上下の瞼における鼻側の端部付近の粘膜内に存在する睫毛の根元部分により容易にマスカラ液１８を塗布することができる。 Further, in the mascara applicator 10 of the present embodiment, the applicator portion 13 is a twisted brush in which the brush bristles 15 are arranged between the pair of core members 14a, 14a and twisted, and the weight shape is formed by the pair of core members 14a, 14a. are formed by brush bristles 15 arranged in a section twisted more than a plurality of times. Therefore, a sufficient amount of brush bristles 15 can be protruded in all directions around the core members 14a, 14a at the conical tip portion of the application portion 13. As shown in FIG. As a result, even if the angle around the axis during application is slightly deviated, the mascara liquid 18 can be easily applied to the base of the eyelashes present in the mucous membranes near the nose-side ends of the upper and lower eyelids.

さらに本実施形態のマスカラ塗布具１０では、塗布部１３に配設された多数のブラシ毛１５の毛先からなる立体形状の輪郭が、芯部１４の長手方向に沿って凹凸を繰り返す波形を有しているので、塗布部１３の立体形状をストレートの円柱形状に形成する場合に比べて、マスカラ液１８を塗布部１３に蓄え易くできる。しかも複数の凸部１６の頂部を結ぶ仮想曲線Ｃが芯部１４の湾曲形状と同等に設けられているため、塗布部１３のより広い範囲を瞼の縁に存在するより多くの睫毛に接触させて纏めて塗布し易くでき、睫毛への塗布操作の手間を省き易い。 Furthermore, in the mascara applicator 10 of the present embodiment, the contour of the three-dimensional shape formed by the tips of the numerous brush bristles 15 arranged in the applicator portion 13 has a waveform that repeats unevenness along the longitudinal direction of the core portion 14. Therefore, the mascara liquid 18 can be easily stored in the application portion 13 as compared with the case where the three-dimensional shape of the application portion 13 is formed in a straight columnar shape. Moreover, since the imaginary curve C connecting the apexes of the plurality of convex portions 16 is provided in the same manner as the curved shape of the core portion 14, a wider range of the application portion 13 is brought into contact with more eyelashes present on the edge of the eyelid. It can be easily applied together, and it is easy to save the trouble of applying to the eyelashes.

特に波形の凹部１７と凸部１６との最大幅を３．９ｍｍ以下にすれば、塗布部１３のより広い範囲を瞼の縁の粘膜内に存在するより多くの睫毛の根元部分に接触させ易く、粘膜内のより多くの睫毛の根元部分に纏めてマスカラ液１８を塗布し易くでき、塗布操作の手間を一層省くことができる。 In particular, if the maximum width of the wavy concave portions 17 and convex portions 16 is set to 3.9 mm or less, a wider range of the application portion 13 can be easily brought into contact with more root portions of eyelashes present in the mucous membrane of the edge of the eyelid. , the mascara liquid 18 can be easily applied collectively to more eyelash roots in the mucous membrane, and labor for the application operation can be further reduced.
