Description

  The present invention relates to a so-called skin care cosmetic sheet used when a cosmetic such as a skin lotion is impregnated and applied to the skin.

  In general, a makeup puff is used for putting off using a lotion or removing makeup using a cleansing liquid. Cosmetic puffs require sufficient absorption and retention performance for lotions, etc., so we mainly use water-absorbing fiber materials (fiber webs) such as cotton or absorbent cotton, rayon, and pulp, considering ease of use. Many of them have a rectangular shape or the like when viewed from a relatively thick plane.

  Such cosmetic puffs include those described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, for example. In the former, in order to prevent deformation during use, etc., the inner layer fiber web constituting the puff is coated with a predetermined surface material (obtained by spraying high-pressure water onto a wet nonwoven fabric), The edge portion is sealed by thermal fusion or pressure bonding. In the latter case, in a rectangular decorative puff formed by laminating a plurality of absorbent cotton webs, joints (hydrogen bonding parts) are formed by pressure bonding along both opposing sides, and absorbent cotton bands are layered on the joints. It can be used as a pack material by peeling.

  Cosmetic puffs using ordinary cotton fibers are superior in water absorption and texture, but have no so-called stiffness (low rigidity), become small in volume when water is absorbed, so-called stickiness, and consequently the amount of water absorption in the center of the puff ( There is a problem in that the amount of impregnation (such as lotion) is reduced. In addition, since there is fluff such as cotton fibers, the skin is not only irritating, but the cotton fibers etc. drop off during use and easily adhere to the face. Furthermore, when the cosmetic is soaked into the puff and applied to the face or putting, only the central part of the puff is often used, and the cosmetic remains relatively unused at the peripheral edge of the puff. Since it is easy to remain, the amount of cosmetics is likely to be wasted.

  In this regard, in the cosmetic puff described in Patent Document 1 described above, a specific surface material is used so as to reduce the deformation of the shape and the adhesion of fibers to the face. A shape in which the thickness of the central portion is relatively thick, in other words, a shape in which the central portion is bulky, and in the cosmetic puff described in Patent Document 2, a structure in which a plurality of absorbent cotton webs having a predetermined thickness are laminated It is said that. These cosmetic puffs have a structure in which the central part of the puff is thicker and bulkier than the peripheral or edge seal part by sealing or joining part or all of the peripheral part. It is thought that securing appropriate stiffness in the water, reducing the settling at the time of water absorption, ensuring the water absorption amount at the central portion of the puff, and the like.

  However, according to the structure in which the edge portion and the peripheral portion are sealed or bonded by thermal fusion or pressure bonding, such as these cosmetic puffs, the seal portion or the bonded portion becomes hard and the portion touches the skin during use. Sometimes it feels painful. Further, if there is a portion where the fibers of cotton or absorbent cotton are exposed at the peripheral edge of the puff, the fibers in the portion are likely to fluff or fall off. Furthermore, in the case of a cosmetic puff often impregnated with cosmetics such as lotion, it is customary to finish it with a certain degree of bulk and thickness. Are often technically difficult compared to the production of sheet bodies such as normal tissue. This is even more so in the case where the peripheral edge and the edge must be sealed or joined, such as the cosmetic puff described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above.

  By the way, the cosmetic puff may be used as a pack material after impregnating the cosmetic with the cosmetic. However, in the conventional cosmetic puff, the middle finger or the middle finger and the ring finger are generally considered in consideration of use during putting. Many of them have a relatively small square size (for example, vertical: 40 to 45 mm × horizontal: 60 to 65 mm) in which one side is applied to the abdomen and both ends are sandwiched by the remaining fingers. Therefore, when a puff impregnated with cosmetics is applied to the face to pack the entire face, it is necessary to use several puffs. In such a case, one puff may be separated in the thickness direction and used as a plurality of pack materials. However, it is troublesome because it is necessary to peel the puff one by one and paste it on the face each time. In addition, in the cosmetic puff also used as a pack material described in Patent Document 2 described above, a plurality of laminated absorbent cotton webs are configured to be easily peeled for each absorbent cotton web when impregnated with lotion or the like. However, since the size of the peeled cotton web is the same as that of the cosmetic puff before peeling, many of them can be worn when packing the whole face. Therefore, the troublesomeness in that respect is not different from the above case.

  The present invention addresses the above-described problems, and as a cosmetic sheet for skin care that can be used as a makeup puff (putting material) or as a pack material, it is possible to ensure an appropriate stiffness during use, or to absorb water (make-up) Not only is it possible to reduce the settling time when the material is impregnated) and to secure the amount of water absorption (the amount of cosmetic material impregnated) at the center of the sheet, but also the suppression of waste of the cosmetic material and the effort required when using it as a pack material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a decorative sheet that can be realized as compared with conventional cosmetic puffs.

In order to achieve the above object, a skin care decorative sheet according to the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the decorative sheet is composed of a rectangular sheet having water absorption, with a long side of 120 to 200 mm, a short side of 40 to 90 mm, and a basis weight of 32 to 100 g / m ² . Then, by folding the sheet so that a crease is formed only in a direction parallel to the short side (short direction), the sheet center portion side in the direction orthogonal to the crease is sheet laminated than the both end sides. This is a large and bulky sheet overlapping portion. In this case, the long side and the short side refer to the long side and the short side of the sheet in a state where the sheet is not yet folded (the unfolded state).

  Specifically, the decorative sheet of the present invention first folds both side portions from the center in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet to the left and right ends, respectively, with a pair of left and right first folds, and then folds the same. It can be set as the structure which folded the front end side of the part further toward the outer side by a pair of left and right second creases, respectively.

  The rectangular sheet can be composed of non-woven fabric or tissue paper. These may have a single-layer structure composed of one sheet, or may have a laminated structure composed of a plurality of sheets.

  The rectangular sheet may be either a sheet that is impregnated with cosmetics during use or a sheet that is pre-impregnated with cosmetics. Therefore, it can be composed of a dry nonwoven fabric or tissue paper, or a nonwoven fabric or tissue paper impregnated with cosmetics.

  The decorative sheet of the present invention can be accommodated in a container in a folded state as described above. The container is provided with a sheet outlet for taking out the decorative sheet. The container may be a flexible bag-type container or a box-type container having shape retention. In the case of an impregnation type decorative sheet impregnated with a cosmetic material in advance, a container having airtightness and liquid tightness is used so that the decorative sheet does not dry.

  The number of decorative sheets accommodated in the container is arbitrary. When storing multiple sets of decorative sheets in a container, the decorative sheets may be stored in a state where they are stacked in the vertical direction, or stored in a state where the sheet surfaces of the decorative sheets are arranged in the vertical direction. Also good.

  Since the decorative sheet of the present invention is composed of a predetermined sheet having water absorbency, it can be easily impregnated with the cosmetic during use. In that case, the sheet is folded so that a crease is formed only in one predetermined direction, and the sheet center portion side is a bulky sheet overlapping portion having a larger number of stacked sheets than both end side portions. The part can be sufficiently impregnated with cosmetics.

  On the contrary, the amount of impregnation of the cosmetic is relatively small on the both end portions of the sheet where the number of laminated sheets is smaller than the sheet overlapping portion. However, since such a part is a part that is not often used at the time of putting or the like, waste of cosmetics can be reduced by the amount that the amount of impregnation is relatively reduced.

  In addition, since a bulky sheet overlap portion is formed on the center side of the sheet as described above, not only a proper stiffness is ensured when used, but also a normal cosmetic puff that uses absorbent cotton or the like without stiffness. Compared to, there is little settling at the time of water absorption.

  When putting, the decorative sheet of the present invention is usually used by impregnating a cosmetic in a folded state, but by expanding the entire sheet from that state, one sheet having a larger area than a conventional decorative puff is used. It can also be used as a pack material. Therefore, it is not necessary to repeat the operation of separating them in the thickness direction and pasting them one by one like a conventional makeup puff, and it is possible to pack the entire face with a smaller number of sheets. Become.

  In particular, the both sides of the rectangular sheet from the center in the longitudinal direction to the left and right ends are first folded inward by a pair of left and right first folds, and then the leading end of the folded part is further paired by a pair of left and right firsts. In the case of a configuration in which each fold is folded outward, the original rectangular shape can be obtained simply by holding the both ends of the sheet outside the second fold and spreading it outward. In addition, a rectangular sheet that can be used as a single pack material having a large area can be easily obtained.

  The decorative sheet of the present invention is obtained by folding a rectangular sheet having water absorption along one direction. Such a relatively simple decorative sheet is a bulky makeup using conventional cotton or the like. Manufactured easier than a puff.

  When the rectangular sheet is made of non-woven fabric or tissue paper, not only is it easy to ensure proper stiffness in the folded state compared to using bulky absorbent cotton, etc., but the sheet is unidirectional during production. The folding operation can be performed particularly easily.

  Examples of the present invention will be described below.

Example 1 FIG. 1 shows a decorative sheet 1 according to Example 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows a rectangular sheet 2 constituting the decorative sheet 1. The rectangular sheet 2 is composed of a non-woven fabric having water absorption, and in this embodiment, the length of the long side 2a is 200 mm, the length of the short side 2b is 90 mm, and the basis weight is 60 g / m ² . Things are used.

  The decorative sheet 1 is folded so that the folds 21 and 22 are formed only in the yy ′ direction (short direction) parallel to the short side 2 b of the rectangular sheet 2, and is orthogonal to the folds 21 and 22. The sheet central portion 11 side in the −x ′ direction (longitudinal direction) is a bulky sheet overlapping portion 13 having a larger number of laminated sheets than the both end portions 12 and 12 side.

  Specifically, in the rectangular sheet 2 shown in FIG. 2, first, both side portions 23 and 23 respectively reaching the left and right ends (each short side 2a) from the center in the longitudinal direction (xx ′ direction) are first formed. The pair of left and right first folds 21, 21 is folded inward, and then the tip (short side 2 a) side of the folded portion is further directed outward by the pair of left and right second folds 22, 22. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the sheet on which the second folds 22 and 22 are positioned by folding the second folds 22 and 22 so that they are positioned closer to the first folds 21 and 21 by a predetermined amount than the second folds 22 and 22. The central portion 11 side has a sheet structure in which a bulky sheet overlapping portion 13 having a larger number of stacked sheets than the sheet end portions 12 and 12 where the first folds 21 and 21 are located is formed. In the case of the decorative sheet 1 in the illustrated example, the number of laminated sheets is three layers on the sheet central portion 11 side and two layers on the sheet both end portions 12 side, and the former is one sheet more than the latter. Only thick and bulky.

  FIG. 4 shows a state in which a large number (in a large number) of the decorative sheets 1 are accommodated in the container 3. In the illustrated example, a plastic container 5 having a container body 3 having an upper end opened to form a sheet outlet 3a and an open / close lid 4 detachably attached to the sheet outlet 3a is used. Has been. A partition wall 3b is provided at the center of the container body 3, and a plurality of the above-described folded decorative sheets 1 are stacked on the left and right storage spaces 3c and 3c formed on both sides of the partition wall 3b. Each is stored in a state.

  When using the decorative sheet 1 accommodated in the container 5, the lid 4 is opened and the uppermost decorative sheet 1 passes through the container main body 3. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the middle finger F and the ring finger G By putting one side of the decorative sheet 1 on the abdomen side and sandwiching both end portions 12 and 12 of the sheet between the finger H and the little finger I, putting becomes easy. In this case, the decorative sheet 1 can be sandwiched so that the direction of the folds 21 and 22 and the direction of the middle finger F and the like are orthogonal to each other (in the case of FIGS. 5A and 5B). It is also possible to sandwich the direction so that the direction of the middle finger F or the like is the same direction (in the case of FIGS. 6A and 6B). In addition, it cannot be overemphasized that the way of holding the decorative sheet 1 is not limited to these.

  The putting is performed by impregnating the cosmetic sheet 1 sandwiched between fingers as described above with a cosmetic and tapping the face with the sheet 1. In that case, the part sandwiched between the finger H and the middle finger F and the part sandwiched between the ring finger G and the little finger I in the decorative sheet 1, that is, both ends 12 and 12 of the decorative sheet 1 are not used for putting. A portion between the finger H and the little finger I and exposed to the palm side, that is, the central portion 11 of the decorative sheet is used. At this time, in the decorative sheet 1 of the present invention, the number of stacked sheets on the central portion 11 side is larger than that on the both end portions 12 and 12 side, and the central portion 11 side is bulky. More cosmetics can be impregnated and held on the 11 side than on both ends 12 and 12 side. In other words, a large amount of cosmetic can be impregnated / held on the side of the sheet center 11 used for putting, while the amount of cosmetic impregnation on the both ends 12/12 of the sheet not used for putting can be suppressed. it can. In this way, the amount of the cosmetic material impregnated in the actually used sheet portion is large, and the amount of the cosmetic material impregnated in the unused sheet portion can be reduced, so that the waste of the cosmetic material can be saved correspondingly.

  Moreover, since the bulky sheet overlap part 13 is formed on the sheet center part 11 side of the decorative sheet 1 made of a non-woven sheet as described above, only a moderate stiffness is ensured when used. There is little settling at the time of water absorption compared with the normal makeup puff using non-absorbent cotton. Since the operation of folding the sheet in one direction can be easily performed at the time of manufacture, the manufacture is easier than the conventional decorative puff in which the seal portion and the joint portion are provided at the peripheral edge portion and the edge portion.

  The decorative sheet 1 is not only used for putting as described above, but also used for packing the entire face, for example. When the decorative sheet 1 is used as a pack material, the above-described folded decorative sheet 1 is impregnated with cosmetics, and then spread and pasted on the face in the form of a single rectangular sheet 2. At this time, in the decorative sheet 1 of the present embodiment, the decorative sheet 1 is folded at the first and second fold lines 21 and 22 extending in the short side direction (y ′ direction) parallel to the short side of the original rectangular sheet 2. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, the original rectangular sheet 2 can be easily obtained simply by holding both ends of the sheet on the outside of each second fold line 22 and spreading outward in the direction indicated by the arrows in FIG. In other words, a rectangular sheet 2 that can be used as a single pack material having a larger area than a conventional decorative puff can be obtained. Therefore, it is not necessary to repeat the operation of separating them in the thickness direction and sticking them one by one to the face like a conventional makeup puff, and packing the entire face with a smaller number of sheets 2 Is possible.

(Other Example) FIGS. 8-11 each shows the other folding form example of the decorative sheet 1. Each decorative sheet 1 is formed by folding a rectangular sheet 2 made of a non-woven fabric having water absorption into a predetermined state. In FIGS. 8 to 11, the direction (longitudinal direction) parallel to the long side in the state of the rectangular sheet 2 before folding is indicated by an arrow xx ′, and the direction parallel to the short side (short) The hand direction is indicated by yy ′.

  Among these, the decorative sheet 1 shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B has a pair of left and right folds 21 and 21 parallel to the short side 2b at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet 2 having water absorption. The sheet is folded inward to form a three-layer sheet overlapping portion on the sheet central portion 11 side.

  The decorative sheet 1 shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b) is parallel to the short side 2b so that both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet 2 having water absorption overlap with each other on the sheet central portion 11 side. Folded inward by a pair of left and right first folds 21, 21, one end of which is folded further outward by a second fold 22 parallel to the short side 2 b, and the other folded first The sheet overlap portion 13 is formed in four layers on the sheet center portion 11 side by folding so that the end portions of the sheet overlap.

  The decorative sheet 1 shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 10 is parallel to the short side so that both end sides in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet 2 having water absorption overlap on the sheet central portion 11 side. The sheet center portion 11 is folded inward by a pair of left and right first folds 21 and 21 and the front end side of the folded portion is folded to the opposite side by a pair of left and right second folds 22 and 22 parallel to the short side. A five-layer sheet overlapping portion 13 is formed on the side.

  The decorative sheet 1 shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 11 has both ends (both short sides 2b) in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular sheet 2 having water absorption, one on the upper surface side of the sheet central portion 11, The other is folded in a fold-like manner at the folds 21 to 24 parallel to the short side 2b so as to overlap while gradually reducing the width on the lower surface side of the sheet center part 11, so that the sheet center part 11 side A sheet overlapping portion 13 having a plurality of layers (9 layers in the illustrated example) is formed.

  In each of the above embodiments, a nonwoven fabric is used as the sheet material of the decorative sheet 1 (rectangular sheet 2), but tissue paper may be used. The material of the fibers constituting these may be fibers having water absorption, and examples thereof include cotton, rayon, and pulp.
