[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator which is easy to apply such as to hide facial stains and is useful for spot makeup.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, cosmetics have been partially applied to spots (spot makeup) only for the purpose of concealing face spots, freckles, and the like. In this case, the cosmetic is applied using a small brush or an applicator having a tip-shaped application portion made of a foam attached to the tip of a handle.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, it is difficult to apply a small area even by using a small brush or a tip-shaped applicator, and there is a problem that when the cosmetic is applied unevenly, the part is conspicuous. In addition, spots and freckles on the face often appear in soft areas such as around the eyes. Such areas are sensitive to the skin and must not be rubbed or pressed firmly. This must be done with sophisticated techniques.

[0004] Furthermore, when the application part such as a brush or a chip becomes dirty with cosmetics, it is necessary to wash the application part. However, since a normal brush is attached to the tip of the handle, it is difficult to clean the base. On the other hand, since the chip is fixed to the core connected to the handle, that is, the core is inside the chip, it is difficult to wash and it is difficult to sufficiently clean the chip.

The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and makes it possible to apply the cosmetic evenly and densely to a spot-like portion (small area) where the cosmetic is to be applied. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic applicator that can be applied with a soft touch without requiring a special technique.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic applicator that can sufficiently clean the application section of the cosmetic applicator easily.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, in a cosmetic applicator comprising a handle and a cosmetic application section provided at the tip of the handle, an axial hole is provided at the tip of the handle, and the cosmetic application section is provided. Is composed of a rod-shaped sponge body, the rod-shaped sponge body has an outer diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the hole and is longer than the depth of the hole, and the rod-shaped sponge body is detachably attached to the hole. The above object has been achieved by a spot cosmetic applicator characterized by being inserted.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, one end of the rod-shaped sponge body protrudes from the tip of the handle, and the protruding portion is pressed when the rod-shaped sponge body is pressed in the axial direction. It is characterized in that at least a part is pushed into the hole of the handle. When a force is applied, the handle is deformed so as to release the force, so that an extremely soft touch is obtained.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, the rod-shaped sponge has a cylindrical, elliptical or polygonal column shape, and at least one end of the rod-shaped sponge has a tip. It is characterized by being rounded. The rounded tip of the sponge makes the touch softer.

【Example】

 As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the cosmetic applicator of the present invention includes a handle 1 and a cosmetic application section 2 provided at the tip of the handle. An axial hole 11 is provided at the tip of the handle 1. On the other hand, the cosmetic application section 2 is formed of a rod-shaped sponge body, has an outer diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the hole 11 of the handle 1, and is longer than the depth of the hole 11. The rod-shaped sponge body 2 is inserted into the hole 11, but is inserted in a detachable state without using an adhesive. Since the outer diameter of the rod-shaped sponge body 2 is slightly larger than the diameter of the hole 11 of the handle 1, the sponge body 2 does not easily fall off.

The handle 1 has a cross section of any shape such as a circle, an ellipse, and a polygon, and various plastics and metal molded products can be used for the material.

The rod-shaped sponge body 2 has a shape such as a cylindrical shape, an elliptic cylindrical shape, or a polygonal cylindrical shape, and preferably has at least one end rounded. As the material of the rod-shaped sponge body 2, rubber such as synthetic resin elastomer or natural rubber or synthetic rubber can be used. For example, a foam made of a synthetic resin elastomer such as a formalized product or an acetalized product of polyurethane, polyacrylate, or polyvinyl alcohol, or a foam made of a synthetic rubber such as NBR, SBR, epichlorohydrin rubber, or IR, or a natural rubber. Just use your body. Further, the sponge body is preferably an open cell.

In order to manufacture the rod-shaped sponge body 2 of the present invention, an elongated cylindrical shape, an elliptical cylindrical shape, or a polygonal cylindrical shape is preliminarily formed using these materials, cut into desired dimensions, and one end of the cut material is cut. Alternatively, both ends may be polished round.

By inserting the bar-shaped sponge body 2 manufactured as described above into the hole 11 of the handle 1, the cosmetic applicator of the present invention can be obtained. Since the rod-shaped sponge body 2 is longer than the depth of the hole 11 of the handle 1, a part thereof protrudes from the tip of the handle 1, and this part becomes the application section 21.

At the time of makeup, after applying the cosmetic to the tip 21 of the rod-shaped sponge body 2 and pressing the tip 21 of the sponge body 2 against the skin, the sponge body 2 is pushed into the hole 11 of the handle 1. It is. At this time, when the application portion 21 of the sponge body 2 slightly protrudes from the handle 1, the application portion 21 is almost hidden in the hole 11 of the handle 1. When the application portion 21 is considerably protruding, a part of the application portion 21 is hidden in the hole 11. When the sponge body 2 is pushed in, the cosmetics adhered or absorbed on the sponge body 2 are extruded from the sponge body 2 on the contrary, and the cosmetics move onto the skin. For this reason, it is possible to apply cosmetics in a spot-like manner, and it is suitable as a cosmetic applicator for concealing stains.

Example 1 A handle having an axial hole having a diameter of 5.1 mm and a depth of 15 mm at one end was prepared from a molded product of polystyrene. On the other hand, a 5.3 mm thick rubicell (trade name of polyurethane sponge manufactured by Toyo Polymer Co., Ltd.) is cut into a width of 5.3 mm, further cut into a length of 30 mm, and the whole is polished to round corners and tips. Polished to make round sponge tips at both ends. This sponge tip was inserted into the hole of the handle to obtain a cosmetic applicator having a round applicator at the tip. This coating part is partially hidden in the hole of the handle when the sponge at the tip is pressed. Also, the sponge tip is detachable from the hole of the handle, so that both ends can be used, and it can be used for cosmetics of two colors. In addition, the cosmetics are dense in spots and easy to apply, and the cosmetics can be uniformly applied to a small area, which is extremely good as a cosmetic applicator for concealing stains.

Example 2 A handle having an axial hole having a diameter of 8.1 mm and a depth of 20 mm at one end was prepared by molding a polyethylene. On the other hand, an NBR latex sponge having a thickness of 10.0 mm is cut into a width of 10.0 mm, further cut into a length of 35 mm, and the whole is polished. A sponge tip of 3 mmR was used. This sponge chip was inserted into the hole of the handle to form a coating portion. This application part is partially hidden in the hole of the handle when pressing the sponge at the tip. When the cosmetic was applied to the spots on the face with this cosmetic applicator, the cosmetics could be applied to the spots extremely densely, which was extremely good as a cosmetic applicator for concealing stains. .

[0018]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, an axial hole is provided at the tip of the handle, and a rod-shaped sponge body having an outer diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the hole and longer than the depth of the hole is formed as a hole in the handle. The sponge body is pushed into the hole when makeup is applied, and the cosmetics that have adhered or been absorbed by the sponge body are extruded from the sponge body when makeup is applied. Gets on the skin. For this reason, it is possible to apply the cosmetics uniformly and densely to the spot-like portions where the cosmetics are to be applied without requiring advanced techniques.

The cosmetic applicator of the present invention does not have a core in the application section, and the application section is constituted only by the sponge, so that the cosmetic can be applied with a soft touch. In addition, even when the sponge body of the application part is strongly pressed against the skin, at least a part of the sponge body can be pulled into the hole of the handle, so that the pressing force is weakened and a soft touch is achieved.

In addition, according to the present invention, the sponge body of the application section can be removed from the handle, and since there is no core, even if the sponge body is soiled by cosmetics or the like, the sponge body can be easily and easily removed by removing from the handle. It can be cleaned sufficiently and sufficiently.
