Description

  The present invention relates to a cleansing tool for removing eye makeup cosmetics.

  In recent years, eye makeup has been diversified and not only cosmetics such as eye shadow, eye line and mascara, but recently, false eyelashes have also become common. At the time of cleansing these cosmetics, many users make the cosmetics float by applying the cleansing charges with their fingers to the cosmetics applied around the eyes. Thereafter, the user flushes the floated cosmetic together with the cleansing fee with water.

  However, in the above cleansing, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, when the cleansing material is applied to the cosmetic material, the cosmetic material spreads around the eyes and the surroundings of the eyes become black. In this case, unless the user flushes with water, the user does not know whether the cosmetic has fallen cleanly. If the cosmetic is not dropped, the user must cleanse again. As a result, the skin is burdened. Furthermore, it can cause even eye diseases.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleansing tool that can cleanly remove eye makeup cosmetics.

  In order to achieve the above object, one aspect of the present invention is a cleansing tool for removing eye makeup cosmetics, comprising an elastically deformable puff body, the puff body, and a predetermined reference surface. Eyelash cosmetic removal means comprising at least two surfaces having substantially the same height from each other and facing each other.

By the upper Symbol form state, it is possible to provide a clean washable cleansing tool eye makeup cosmetic.

  Hereinafter, a cleansing tool according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the above drawings. In some drawings, the X, Y, and Z axes are shown. The X axis, Y axis, and Z axis indicate the lateral direction, depth direction, and height direction of the cleansing tool.

(Configuration of cleansing tools)
1 to 4, the cleansing tool includes a puff body 1 and an attached puff 2. In this embodiment, both the puff body 1 and the attached puff 2 are used for cleansing, and are sponge-like or fluffy tools for removing cosmetics applied to the skin or eyelashes. Puff materials include natural and synthetic materials that can be elastically deformed. Examples of natural materials include sponge and konjac. Examples of the synthetic material include urethane, latex, PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) and the like. As described above, various materials are used for the puff, but in this embodiment, a urethane sponge which is an example of a synthetic material is employed. The reason why urethane sponge is used is that it has many excellent properties such as complete yellowing and no discoloration, antifungal and antibacterial properties, odorlessness, high durability, and comfortable touch.

  The puff body 1 is used to drop cosmetics applied around the eyes (including eyelashes), and includes a main surface 11, a back surface 12, front and back main side surfaces 13 and 14, and a sub side surface. 15-18.

  The main surface 11 and the back surface 12 are flat surfaces having a size and shape suitable for cleansing around the eyes. In the present embodiment, for example, the main surface 11 and the back surface 12 have substantially the same shape as each other, and have a shape imitating a fish. About the main surface 11 and the back surface 12, the x-axis direction length is about 8 cm (maximum value), and the y-axis direction width is about 4 cm (maximum value). Further, each of the main surface 11 and the back surface 12 specifically includes curves C1 and C2 and line segments L1 to L4.

  The curves C1 and C2 are substantially symmetric with respect to a central plane P (see FIGS. 2 and 4) parallel to the zx plane. The ends of the curves C1 and C2 are connected to form an angle θ1, but the other ends of the curves C1 and C2 are separated by a distance of about 1.5 cm.

  One end of the line segment L1 is connected to the other end of the curve C1, and the line segment L1 extends obliquely about 2.0 cm from this connection point. One end of the line segment L2 is connected to the other end of the line segment L1, and the line segment L2 extends obliquely to the center plane P from this connection point. The length of the line segment L2 is about 1.5 cm. Here, the line segments L1 and L2 are connected to form an angle θ2. The angle θ2 may be the same as the angle θ1, but is preferably smaller than the angle θ1.

  Since the line segments L3 and L4 are substantially symmetric with respect to the line segments L2 and L1 with respect to the center plane P, detailed description of each is omitted.

  The main surface 11 as described above is formed to be approximately 2 cm apart in the z-axis direction with respect to the back surface 12 and parallel to the back surface 12. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the puff body 1 is viewed from the top, the main surface 11 and the back surface 12 overlap so as not to protrude.

  The main side surface 13 is formed between the curve C1 of the main surface 11 and the curve C1 of the back surface 12, and the main side surface 14 is formed between the curve C2 of the main surface 11 and the curve C2 of the back surface 12. These main side surfaces 13 and 14 are curved surfaces substantially orthogonal to the xy plane. These main side surfaces 13 and 14 intersect at an angle θ1 on one end side of the curves C1 and C2. The intersecting portion of the main side surfaces 13 and 14 becomes the tip portion 110 of the puff body 1. Although details will be described later, the distal end portion 110 is used when cleansing details around the eyes. In that sense, the tip 110 is a first example of a cosmetic removing means.

  The sub-side surface 15 is formed between the line segment L1 of the main surface 11 and the line segment L1 of the back surface 12, and the sub-side surface 16 is formed between the line segment L2 of the main surface 11 and the back surface 12. These sub-side surfaces 15 and 16 are substantially orthogonal to the xy plane and intersect at an angle θ2 as described above.

  Since the sub-side surfaces 17 and 18 are substantially symmetrical with the sub-side surfaces 16 and 15 with respect to the center plane P, detailed description of each is omitted.

  A protrusion 111 from the puff body 1 is formed by the sub-side surfaces 15 and 16, and a protrusion 112 from the puff body 1 is formed by the sub-side surfaces 17 and 18. Although the details will be described later, these protrusions 111 and 112 are used for cleansing the details around the eyes, like the tip portion 110. In this sense, the protrusions 111 and 112 are a second example of the cosmetic material removing unit.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the puff body 1 having the above outer shape is formed with a through-hole h having a substantially elliptical shape when viewed from above. The through hole h has a length (maximum value) in the x-axis direction of about 4.5 cm and a length (maximum value) in the y-axis direction of about 1.5 cm.

  Further, the inner peripheral surface 19 is formed in the puff body 1 by the through hole h. The distance from the main side surfaces 13, 14 to the inner peripheral surface 19 is about 1.0 cm. Although the details will be described later, the inner peripheral surface 19 is used for cleansing cosmetics applied to the eyelashes. From this point of view, the inner peripheral surface 19 serves as eyelash cosmetic removal means. The inner peripheral surface (eyelash cosmetic removal means) 19 is composed of two surfaces facing each other with the central surface P in between. The upper ends of the two surfaces have substantially the same height with respect to the xy plane, for example. The same applies to the lower end.

  The attached puff 2 is used, for example, to drop cosmetics (lipstick or lip gloss) applied around the mouth and has an outer shape that fits into the through hole h.

(How to use cleansing tools)
The cleansing tool according to the embodiment is used when removing cosmetics for eye makeup. Hereinafter, specific examples of usage will be described.

  When cleansing eyebrows and eyelids, the user includes a cleansing fee on one or both of the main side surfaces 13 and 14 of the puff body 1 and blends in. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5A, the user performs the cleansing by applying the part containing the cleansing charge to the part (eyebrows and eyelids) to which the cosmetic (the eyelashes or the eye shadow) is applied.

  In addition, when cleansing the eyelashes, the user causes the eyelash cosmetic removal means (inner peripheral surface) 19 of the puff body 1 to apply the cleansing fee. Next, the user touches the main surface 11 or the back surface 12 of the puff body 1 around the eyes. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5 (B), the user presses both the main side surfaces 13 and 14 with a plurality of fingers and sandwiches the eyelashes with the eyelash cosmetic removing means 19 from above and below for cleansing. Thereby, cosmetics such as mascara are removed.

  In addition, when cleansing details around the eyes (for example, a site where an eyeliner is applied), the user causes the tip part 110 or the protrusions 111 and 112 of the puff body 1 to apply cleansing charges. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5C, the user performs cleansing by applying the cleansing fee included portions (projections 111 and 112) to the eyeline portion.

  In addition, when the eyelash extension is applied, it is not preferable to rub around the eyes with the main side surfaces 13 and 14 or the eyelash cosmetic removal means 19, so that the details around the eyes can be obtained using the protrusions 111 and 112. Cleansing is preferred.

  In addition, for example, when cleansing the periphery of the mouth, the user causes a cleansing fee to be applied around the attached puff 2. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5D, the user performs the cleansing by applying the cleansing fee-containing portion to the cosmetic (lipstick or lip gloss) applied around the mouth.

(Operation and effect of cleansing tools)
Next, the action and effect of the cleansing tool will be described. FIG. 6A shows a state where the eyeliner and the eye shadow are applied to the back of the hand. When cleansing this, the main side surfaces 13 and 14 to which the cleansing material has been applied are applied to the application site of the cosmetic material. During this time, as shown in FIGS. 6 (B) to 6 (D), the puff body 1 absorbs the cosmetic from an early stage and also absorbs the cleansing material at the same time. Thus, since the cosmetics and cleansing materials are absorbed, the user can check how the cosmetics are removed before flowing with water. Since it can be washed with water after this confirmation, the cosmetics will be cleaned cleanly once.

  Moreover, since the main side surfaces 13 and 14 of the puff main body 1 are curved, the puff body 1 can be easily applied to the application site around the eye (eyebrows and eyelids). This makes it easier to remove cosmetics around the eyes.

  Moreover, the through-hole h is formed in the puff main body 1, and it is formed so that an eyelash can be pinched | interposed by the cosmetics removal means 19 for eyelashes which has the above structures. This makes it easier to remove eyelash cosmetics.

  Further, the puff body 1 is formed with a tip portion 110 and projecting portions 111 and 112. If these are used, the user can easily remove the cosmetics in the details around the eyes. Further, by setting the angle θ1 of the tip 110 and the angle θ2 of the protrusions 111 and 112 to be different from each other, it is possible to provide a cleansing tool suitable for cleansing various parts.

  Moreover, the through-hole h is formed in the puff body 1 for cleansing the eyelashes. For example, the accessory puff 2 is fitted into the through hole h for cleansing another part (for example, around the mouth). The attached puff 2 can be used not only for cleansing around the mouth but also for various purposes. Such an attached puff 2 makes it possible to provide an easy-to-use cleansing tool.

  In this embodiment, urethane sponge is adopted as a material. As a result, it is possible to provide a cleansing tool suitable for a delicate region around the eyes.

(Appendix)
In the description of the above embodiment, the puff body 1 and the attached puff 2 have been described as having symmetrical outer shapes with respect to the center plane P. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the outer shapes of the puff body 1 and the attached puff 2 may be asymmetric.

  In the description of the above embodiment, at the time of cleansing, the user drops the eyelashes and eyelid cosmetics using the main side surfaces 13 and 14, and uses the eyelash cosmetic removal means 19 to remove the eyelash cosmetics. At the protrusions 111 and 112, the cosmetics in detail around the eyes are dropped. Therefore, it may be selected in consideration of the size of each part of the puff body 1 and the size of the eyes of the user. In other words, the dimensions of each part of the puff body 1 are not limited to the above specific values and are appropriately selected.

  In the description of the above embodiment, the through hole h is formed in the puff body 1. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the puff body 1 may be formed with a non-through hole as long as the eyelashes can be cleansed.

  The cleansing tool according to the present invention can remove cosmetics cleanly and is suitable for eye makeup.
