JP 2001-204535 A

The eyelash curl device of Patent Document 1 is thin as a whole, and the lever is also foldable. Therefore, the eyelash curler is compact overall, convenient for storing in a handbag, and has a good reputation. However, since it is thin as a whole, it is somewhat unstable during use, and it is desired to make handling more convenient when it is necessary to perform work in a short time while away from home. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an eyelash curler that can be used stably during use and is easy to handle .

Claim 1 of the present invention has an upper pressing part that presses the eyelashes from above and a lower pressing part that presses the eyelashes from below. An eyelash curler in which at least a part of the front surface of the pressing portion is provided with a hooking portion having a coefficient of friction larger than that of the upper pressing portion, and the bridge portion around which the hooking portion is wound presses the upper pressing portion. A winding part formed so as to extend around the entire circumference of the bridge part by injection of the material of the hitting part is formed at least a part of the hitting part. Is configured.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, an element in which the butting portion extends in a series over the lateral direction of the upper pressing portion is added to the first aspect.

A third aspect of the present invention is a configuration in which elements existing at both end portions and a central portion in the lateral direction of the abutting portion in which the winding portion extends in the lateral direction of the upper pressing portion are added to the second aspect.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the bridge portion is formed by providing a vertical hole penetrating in the length direction of the eyelash curl device and a horizontal hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the eyelash curl device in the upper pressing portion provided with the hook contact portion. The formed element is the structure added to any one of Claim 1 thru | or 3.

Claim 1 is a bridge portion in which at least a part of the front surface of the upper pressing portion that comes into contact with the heel during use is provided with a butt portion having a larger coefficient of friction than the upper pressing portion, and the urging portion is wound around the upper pressing portion. A wrapping portion formed so as to extend in the lateral direction of the eyelash curler, and wound around the entire circumference of the bridge portion by injection of the material of the heel contact portion, At least part of it . Therefore, when the front of the upper pressing portion is directed to the heel when curling the eyelashes, the heel contact portion has a large coefficient of friction, so that a large frictional force is generated between the heel contact portion and the heel. As a result, since the hook contact portion is fixed relative to the eyelid, the eyelashes can be reliably attached to a predetermined position. In addition, since a large frictional force is generated between the padding part and the paddle, not only the padding part is addressed to the paddle, but also the padding part pushes the padding upward at the padding part, The padding part can be assigned to push up the paddle from the beginning. In this way, when the eyelashes are pushed up, the eyelashes can be curled from the root. This is particularly effective when used by people with deep doubles or heavy bags. Moreover, since the winding part is wound around the bridge part of the upper press part, it can prevent that a part or all of the padding part remove | deviates from the predetermined position of the upper press part.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the flange contact portion extends in a series over the lateral direction of the upper pressing portion. Therefore, a large frictional force is generated substantially over the entire length between the padding part and the paddle, and the padding part can be fixed relatively securely to the paddle.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the wrapping portion is present at both ends and the central portion in the lateral direction of the flange portion extending in the lateral direction of the upper pressing portion. Therefore, the padding portion is securely held at a predetermined position of the upper pressing portion.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the bridge portion is formed by providing a vertical hole penetrating in the length direction of the eyelash curl device and a horizontal hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the eyelash curl device in the upper pressing portion provided with the hook contact portion. Is formed. Therefore, since the winding part is wound around the upper pressing part through the vertical hole and the horizontal hole, it is possible to prevent a part or all of the padding part from being removed from a predetermined position of the upper pressing part.

Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the eyelash curler is made of a relatively hard plastic such as acrylic resin, ABS resin, or polycarbonate resin, and is relatively thin as a whole. The lever 1 is pivotably attached and normally folded. . The base portion 3 is attached to the grip portion 2 so as to be slidable up and down, and a rubber lower pressing portion 5 is fitted into a groove 12 provided at the upper end. The base part 3 is formed of hard plastic such as acrylic resin, but is not limited to plastic. Of course, the material of the lower pressing portion 5 is not limited to rubber, and any elastic material, for example, a material having elasticity such as rubber such as an elastomer may be used. As shown in FIG. 5, the lower pressing portion 5 has a head portion 14 integrally formed on the body portion 13, a step 15 is formed at the boundary between them, and the lower end of the head portion 14 protrudes beyond the body portion 13. Yes. The lower pressing portion 4 extends in the length direction in an arc shape. This is so that the lower pressing portion 4 can be easily performed when the groove 12 is mounted. As shown in FIG. 2, the lower pressing portion 4 is mounted such that the body portion 13 is fitted in the groove 12 and the head portion 14 is exposed above the groove 12. A spare groove 27 for accommodating the spare 32 of the upper pressing portion 4 is formed along the bottom arcuate peripheral surface of the grip portion 2, and the clamping portion and the bottom portion of the spare 32 are in pressure contact with both inner side surfaces of the spare groove. That is, it is fitted and stored so as to lie down sideways. As shown in FIG. 5, the spare 32 extends in an arc shape, and the spare groove 27 is also formed along the arc-shaped peripheral surface, so that both arcs are formed. There is no risk of protruding. Further, as indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 1, the spare groove 27 is biased toward the bulging portion 29. The vertical length of the eyelash curler is about 60 mm, the thickness is 16 mm, and the lateral width of the upper pressing portion 6 is about 35 mm. The width in the left-right direction of the grip portion 2 including the bulging portion 29 is about 40 mm. However, the eyelash curl of the present invention is not limited to this value.

  When using the eyelash curler, as shown in FIG. 3, the lever 1 is inverted, the finger is placed on the lever 1 and the grip 2, and the base 3 is moved by pushing the lever 1 toward the grip 2. Slide upward. When the base part 3 slides upward, the pressing part 5 of the rubber lower pressing part 4 attached to the upper end of the base part and the pressing part 7 of the upper pressing part 6 come into pressure contact to curl the eyelashes. . The configuration in which the base portion 3 slides upward by pushing the lever 1 in the direction of the grip portion 2 is as described in JP-A-2001-204535. Briefly describing this configuration, the base portion 3 extends from the upper end portion to which the lower pressing portion 4 is attached to the bottom portion 8, and a coil spring 9 is provided therein. The lower end of the coil spring 9 is in contact with the inner surface of the bottom portion 8, and the upper end of the coil spring 9 is in contact with an upper wall 10 formed integrally with the grip portion 2. Overhanging portions (not shown) protrude laterally on both sides of the base portion 3, and the claws 11 are placed below the overhanging portions. The claw 11 is rotatably attached to the grip portion 2. The lever 1 is rotated by reversing the lever 1 and pushing the lever 1 in the direction of the grip portion 2. 2 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 2, and the tip of the claw 11 pushes up the protruding portion of the base 3 from below. By this operation, the base part 3 slides upward against the elastic force while contracting the coil spring 9.

  A padding portion 16 is provided in front of the upper pressing portion 6. A material having a relatively large friction coefficient, for example, a material having rubber elasticity such as an elastomer or silicone rubber is used for the padding portion 16. The padding portion 16 is provided from an upper portion spaced from the pinching portion 7 of the upper pressing portion 6 to the upper surface of the upper pressing portion 6. The surface of the padding portion 16 is formed flush with the surface of the upper pressing portion 6, but is not limited to this, and the surface of the padding portion 16 may be slightly higher than the surface of the upper pressing portion 6. It may be good or slightly lower.

Next, a method for providing the padding portion 16 on the upper pressing portion 6 will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, a predetermined thickness is provided from the upper portion spaced from the pinching portion 7 of the upper pressing portion 6 to the upper surface of the upper pressing portion 6 in order to provide the padding portion 16 on the front side of the upper pressing portion 6. A recess 18 is formed as if it was scraped off. Further, the bottom surface 20 of the recess is formed to be higher than the pinching portion 7. Vertical holes 21, 21, 22 that pass downward along the wall surface 19 of the recess are provided at both ends and the center of the recess 18, and horizontal holes that penetrate along the bottom surface 20 of the recess in the thickness direction of the upper pressing portion 6. 23, 23, 24 are provided. As shown in FIG. 7, bridge portions 25 and 26 are formed by providing these vertical holes and horizontal holes. Since the vertical holes and the horizontal holes intersect, the back and bottom surfaces of the bridge portions 25 and 26 form a right angle . Further, as shown in FIG. 2, by removing the right-angled corners of the bridge portion 26, the bridge portion 26 can be made thinner accordingly. The hitting portion 16 is formed by injecting a material such as an elastomer into the recess 18 formed in this way. The injected elastomer is integrally connected through a pair of vertical holes 21 (22) and horizontal holes 23 (24) to form a winding portion 28, and the winding portion 28 is wound around the bridge portions 25 and 26. There is no possibility that the padding portion 16 is detached from the upper pressing portion 6. As shown in FIG. 8, the other portions where the bridge portions 25, 26 are not formed are in a state in which the padding portion 16 is stuck to the upper pressing portion 6. As shown in FIG. 6, since the recessed part 18 is extended in the horizontal direction of the upper press part, the padding part 16 is also extended in a row in the horizontal direction.

  The hitting part 16 of the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and a plurality of hitting parts may be arranged in the horizontal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a bulging portion 29 bulging outward from one side portion of the grip portion 2 is formed. When using a conventional eyelash curl device in which the bulging portion 29 does not exist in the grip portion, the thumb is directed to the grip portion 2, the index finger is directed to the lever 1, and the eyelash curl device is operated with two fingers. . At this time, the eyelash curl held in the hand becomes slightly unstable. When the bulging portion 29 exists as in the present invention, the bulging portion 29 is held by the thumb 30 and the index finger 31 as shown in FIG. 4, and the lever 1 is rotated by the middle finger. At this time, since the bulging portion 29 is firmly held by two fingers, the eyelash curl device can be used in a stable state. Moreover, since the index finger 31 is addressed to the bulging portion 29, the lever 1 does not hit the index finger 31 when the lever 1 is pressed, and does not get in the way. As another way of holding the grip portion 2, since the recess 33 is formed on the back surface of the grip portion 2 as shown in FIG. 2, the index finger can be applied to this portion and used.
