Description

  The present invention relates to an applicator for applying mascara cosmetics to eyelashes.

  The effects required for mascara cosmetics include a volume-up effect that makes the eyelashes appear thicker and darker, a long effect that makes the eyelashes appear longer, a curl-up effect that curls the eyelashes and makes the eyes look larger and clearer, and the eyelashes adhere to each other with mascara cosmetics. In addition to these, it is very important to give the eyelashes a radial shape so that they spread from the base of the eyelashes in order to give the eyes a more beautiful, attractive and sophisticated appearance. Play an effective role. These effects exert a function by the synergistic effect of the mascara cosmetic and the applicator, but especially the lashing of the eyelashes largely depends on the function of the applicator, and there has never been an applicator that can be easily done. . Conventionally, when the user combs the eyelashes in a radial manner, the parts to be sprinkled are divided into parts, and the eyelashes are crushed in different directions, so the number of times of craving is cumbersome, or each eyelash is crushed between each eyelash Since the eyelashes are parallel, when they are viewed as the whole eyelashes, they do not have a clean radial pattern, or the eyelashes must be further subdivided in order to make them clean, requiring a lot of time. It was.

  In addition, the eyelids have an arc shape along the curved surface of the eyeball. On the other hand, each eyelash grows almost perpendicularly to the edge of the eyelid, so that the entire eyelashes are almost radial as they are. However, as shown in FIG. 9, in the conventional applicator in which the discs extend in parallel, the eyelashes can be spread only in parallel, thereby reducing the angle of radial spread and reducing the attractiveness of the finish. There was a bug.

  As a mascara applicator, one having a large number of disc-shaped comb teeth formed by resin molding is known. For example, in Patent Document 1, the tip of a synthetic resin rod-shaped main body is configured to have a gently constricted center, and multiple independent grooves are arranged in the length direction on the outer periphery of the tip. A mascara brush having a coating portion formed thereon is described. Between adjacent concave grooves is a ridge that extends continuously in the circumferential direction of the rod-shaped main body.

  Patent Documents 2 and 3 describe a disk-type mascara brush in which the brush portion has a large number of plate comb teeth having a shape in which a disk is stacked on the tip of a brush bar.

  The ridge described in Patent Document 1 protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the rod-shaped main body. Similarly, the plate comb teeth described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 also project in a direction perpendicular to the brush bar. Therefore, even if these mascara brushes are rotated around their axes, the distance between adjacent ridges (plate comb teeth) does not change. As a result, even if the eyelashes are combed using these mascara brushes, the eyelashes cannot be spread radially.

  The present invention will be described below based on preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings. The mascara applicator 10 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has an applicator 12 that applies mascara cosmetic at the tip of a support shaft 11. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the support shaft 11 is shown only in the vicinity of the connecting portion with the application portion 12, but the support shaft 11 is entirely composed of a straight rod-shaped body. The support shaft 11 and the application part 12 are formed by integral molding of resin, or the support shaft 11 and the application part 12 manufactured separately are formed by means such as adhesion, fitting, and screwing using an adhesive. It is connected.

  The application unit 12 includes an application unit shaft 20 extending in one direction and a plurality of annular comb teeth 21 arranged along the application unit shaft 20. The application unit shaft 20 is connected to the tip of the support shaft 11 such that the longitudinal direction thereof coincides with the longitudinal direction of the support shaft 11. When the application unit shaft 20 is viewed from the side (that is, when viewed from the direction shown in FIG. 2B), the application unit 12 is longer than the central region 12C in the longitudinal direction of the application unit shaft 20 and the central region 12C. It is roughly divided into a front area 12F located on the front end side and a rear area 12R located on the rear end side (the connecting portion side with the support shaft 11) from the central area 12C.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, the application part shaft 20 in the application part 12 extends linearly in the same manner as the support shaft 11. In the following description, when the application unit shaft 20 is viewed from the side, the upper surface of the application unit shaft 20 is referred to as an upper surface 20A, and the lower surface is referred to as a lower surface 20B. Although the application part axis | shaft 20 in this embodiment is linear, the shape of the application part axis | shaft 20 is not restricted to this, For example, it is convex shape toward the upper surface 20A side (toward upward in FIG.2 (b)). It may be gently curved. In the case where the application part axis is curved in this way, it is preferable that the top of the application part axis 20 is substantially coincident with the position of the central region 12C described above. Since the application part axis | shaft 20 is curving in this way, when the mascara application tool 10 is used and this is moved toward the upper part from the downward direction, the application part 12 will be in the state which follows an eyelid. Because. Moreover, after applying mascara cosmetics and spreading the eyelashes radially (details will be described later), the applicator 10 is inverted 180 degrees so that the concavely curved side of the application part shaft 20 becomes the eyelashes. By pressing and holding the vicinity of the central region from the tip of the eyelash until the mascara cosmetic is dried, the curl-up effect of the eyelash can be expected while maintaining the state where the eyelash spreads radially.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the cross-sectional shape of the application part axis | shaft 20, It can be set as circular, an ellipse, a polygon, etc. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the thickness of an application part axis | shaft, Preferably it is 0.5 mm to 5 mm, More preferably, it is 1-3 mm. The cross-sectional shape and thickness of the application part axis | shaft 20 can be arbitrarily changed according to each site | part (the center area | region 12C, the front area 12F, and the rear area | region 12R) in the application part 12. FIG.

  Each comb tooth 21 is an annular plate-shaped body having two faces facing each other and having a predetermined thickness. This ring is almost a perfect circle. The comb teeth 21 are arranged in a skewered manner along the application portion axis 20 so that the substantially center position of the annular comb teeth 21 and the axis line of the application portion shaft 20 substantially coincide with each other. As shown in FIG. 2B, when the application portion shaft 20 is viewed from the side, each comb tooth 21 includes an upper comb tooth portion 21a protruding upward from the upper surface 20A side of the application portion shaft 20, and an application portion. And a lower comb tooth portion 21b protruding downward from the lower surface 20B side of the part shaft 20. The degree of protrusion of the upper comb teeth 21a and the lower comb teeth 21b is substantially the same.

  The two surfaces of each comb tooth 21 are both substantially flat and are substantially parallel to each other. However, the two surfaces of each comb tooth 21 do not need to have such a form. For example, both of the two surfaces are convex curved surfaces that bulge outward in the thickness direction of the comb tooth 21. Conversely, a concave curved surface that curves inward in the thickness direction of the comb teeth 21 may be used. Alternatively, the two surfaces may be a combination of any two of a plane, a convex curved surface, and a concave curved surface. Regardless of the shape of the surface of the comb teeth 21, the comb teeth 21 are arranged so that the surfaces thereof are substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the application portion shaft 20 when viewed from the direction shown in FIG. ing. The size of the ring of each comb tooth 21 may be the same, or the size may be different depending on each part (the central region 12C, the front region 12F, and the rear region 12R) of the application unit 12. The thickness of each comb tooth 21 is preferably 0.1 to 2 mm, and more preferably 0.2 to 1 mm.

  The mascara applicator 10 of this embodiment has one of the characteristics in the inclined state of the annular comb teeth 21. Details are as follows. The comb teeth 21C located in the central region 12C of the application unit 12 are viewed from the direction shown in FIG. 2B, that is, when the application unit shaft 20 is viewed from the side, the upper surface 20A and the lower surface 20B of the application unit shaft 20. It extends in a substantially normal direction. That is, the comb teeth 21C and the upper surface 20A and the lower surface 20B are substantially orthogonal. On the other hand, the comb teeth 21F located in the front area 12F of the application unit 12 are arranged so that the entire comb teeth 21F are located on the center area 12C side so that the upper comb teeth 21a face the center area 12C side. Inclined towards. On the other hand, the comb teeth 21R located in the rear region 12R of the application unit 12 are inclined so that the entire comb teeth 21R are directed toward the central region 12C so that the upper comb portion 21a is directed toward the central region 12C. doing. Therefore, paying attention to the lower comb tooth portion 21 b, the lower comb tooth portion 21 b of the comb tooth 21 F faces the tip side of the application portion 12. On the contrary, the lower comb tooth portion 21b of the comb tooth 21R faces the support shaft 11 side. As used herein, the term “inclination” means that the surface of the comb tooth 21 made of an annular plate has an angle θ with respect to the normal L of the axis of the application part shaft 20 as shown in FIG. Say. In addition, a large degree of inclination means that the angle θ is large.

  Note that there is no distinction between the upper surface 20A and the lower surface 20B of the application part shaft 20, and the upper surface 20A and the lower surface 20B are a convenient expression for facilitating the explanation of the present invention. It is determined by the inclination direction. That is, the upper side when the applicator shaft 20 is horizontally supported so that the surface in which the comb teeth 21 are inclined inward toward the central region C is on the upper side is defined as upper for convenience. is there. As will be described later, when applying mascara to the eyelashes of the upper eyelid, the upper side of the application part 12 is brought into contact with the eyelashes from the lower side in this arrangement.

  As the comb teeth 21 (21C, 21F, 21R) move from the central region 12C of the application unit 12 toward the front region 12F and the rear region 12R, the inclination angle θ gradually increases. That is, the comb teeth 21 are arranged such that the upper comb teeth portion 21a of the comb teeth 21 approaches the upper surface 20A of the application portion shaft 20 as the arrangement position of the comb teeth 21 moves away from the central region 12C toward the front end side and the rear end side. Similarly, the lower comb teeth 21b of the comb teeth 21 are placed on the lower surface 20B of the application portion shaft 20 as the disposition positions of the comb teeth 21 move away from the central region 12C toward the front end side 12F and the rear end side 12R. Approaching. The inclination angle θ is preferably gradually increased in the range of 0 ° <θ ≦ 75 °, and particularly gradually increased in the range of 0 ° <θ ≦ 45 ° when the eyelashes spread radially. It is preferable from the viewpoint of beauty and the low frictional force that the eyelashes receive from the comb tooth slope. The increment of the tilt angle does not necessarily have to be equal. Further, for example, the angle can be set according to the expression intention of the mascara makeup, for example, by increasing the inclination angle of several comb teeth on the tip side or the root side of the application part shaft 20 to emphasize the radial spread feeling. . The comb teeth 21 basically increase the inclination angle gradually toward the tip side or the base side of the application part shaft 20, but partially decrease the inclination angle or partially reduce the inclination angle. May be. By doing so, it is possible to add density to the radially spreading eyelashes, and to express different eyelashes.

  In the applicator 12, the size, inclination, and inclination of each comb tooth 21 so that the three-dimensional envelope formed by connecting the peripheral edges of each comb tooth 21 (21C, 21F, 21R) becomes the side surface of the cylinder. The shape etc. are adjusted. Further, the axis of the cylinder corresponding to the side surface of the cylinder that is the envelope surface is substantially coincident with the axis of the application portion axis 20 and the axis of the support shaft 11. Due to such a configuration, according to the mascara applicator 10 of the present embodiment, the application unit 12 can be easily rotated around the axis while the eyelashes are held between the comb teeth 21, and Since the eyelashes are unintentionally detached from between the comb teeth 21 and are not likely to be free, the user can easily and quickly apply the mascara cosmetic. The envelope surface formed by connecting the peripheral edges of the comb teeth 21 (21C, 21F, 21R) does not have to be a side surface of a cylinder, and the rotation axis coincides with the axis of the application portion shaft 20 in addition. It may be a surface (elliptical surface) of a substantially spheroid. Further, the rotation axis may be a substantially rotating hyperboloid (single leaf hyperboloid) whose axis coincides with the axis of the application part axis 20.

  In the application part 12, the pitch of the arrangement | positioning of the adjacent comb tooth 21 is so large that the comb tooth 21 located in the site | part with a large grade of the comb tooth 21 is large. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the front area 12F of the application unit 12 has a greater degree of inclination of the comb teeth 21 than the central area 12C, and the pitch P1 of the arrangement of the comb teeth 21F located in the front area 12F, When compared with the pitch P2 of the arrangement of the comb teeth 21C located in the central region 12C, P1 is larger than P2. Since P1 and P2 have such a relationship, the distance Da1 between the tips of the lower comb teeth portion 21b in the comb teeth 21F located in the front area 12F and the comb teeth 21C located in the center area 12C When the distance Da2 between the tips of the lower comb teeth 21b is compared, Da1 is larger than Da2. The same applies to the upper comb tooth portion 21a, and the distance Db1 between the upper comb tooth portions 21a in the comb teeth 21F located in the front region 12F and the distance between the upper comb tooth portions 21a in the comb teeth 21C located in the central region 12C. In contrast to Db2, Db1 is larger than Db2.

  When the eyelashes pass between the inclined comb teeth 21 from the tip of the comb teeth to the root, the eyelashes receive a frictional force along the slope of the comb teeth 21. When this frictional force is received, the progress of the eyelashes is delayed, the eyelashes are unintentionally detached from between the comb teeth near the tip of the comb teeth 21 and become free, or the eyelashes jump over the comb teeth 21 and become adjacent. May move between the comb teeth 21 and the arrangement of the radial eyelashes may be disturbed. This defect becomes more prominent as the inclination angle of the comb teeth 21 increases. However, in the present embodiment, since Db1 is larger than Db2, when the eyelashes are combed, the eyelashes easily enter between the adjacent comb teeth 21, and the above-described problems can be solved. From this viewpoint, the value of Db2 is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and the value of Db1 / Db2 is preferably 1 or more and 10 or less. The above distance relationship and the effects produced thereby are similarly applied to the rear region 12R.

  In the present embodiment, the application portion shaft 20 of the application portion 12 is linear, but as described above, the application portion shaft 20 may be formed in a curved shape that is convex upward instead. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the application unit shaft 20 is viewed from the side, the upper surface 20A of the application unit shaft 20 in the front region 12F of the application unit 12 has the comb teeth 21F. It inclines in the direction (direction shown by arrow B in FIG. 5A) opposite to the direction of inclination (direction shown by arrow A in FIG. 5A). Since the comb teeth 21F and the upper surface 20A are in such a positional relationship, the mascara applicator 10 is used and is directed in the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. When the eyelashes are combed, the eyelashes move along the surface and the upper surface 20A of the comb teeth 21F in FIG. That is, in the figure, it moves in the order of EL1 → EL2 → EL3. As a result, the amount of horizontal movement of the eyelashes from the beginning to the end of the eyelashes is increased, and the effect of spreading the eyelashes radially is further improved. This effect is similarly achieved in the rear region 12R of the application unit 12. This is because also in the rear region 12R, the upper surface 20A is inclined in the direction opposite to the direction in which the comb teeth 21R are inclined. In addition, in the central region 12C of the application part 12, since the upper surface 20A and the comb teeth 21C are substantially orthogonal to each other, there is no great difference in the extent of eyelash spread between the start and end of eyelashes. Therefore, the horizontal movement amount of the eyelashes from the start to the end of the eyelashes becomes larger as it approaches the front and rear ends of the application unit 12.

  Instead of the above-described embodiment, the application unit shaft 20 of the application unit 12 is substantially linear as shown in FIG. 5B, but the upper surface 20A of the application unit shaft 20 is inclined. It is good also as the shape which is. In this shape, the application part shaft 20 partitioned by the annular comb teeth 21 is not a cylinder but has an inclined substantially truncated cone shape (a truncated oblique cone), or a substantially right cone is formed into a mascara applicator. It is arranged so as to be inclined with respect to the axis of 10 axes, and has a shape in which the apex is cut off in accordance with the annular comb teeth 21. By making the application part axis | shaft 20 into such a shape, it can spread an eyelash to a wider angle similarly to the effect demonstrated in Fig.5 (a). From the viewpoint of making this effect more prominent, in FIG. 5B, the angle α formed between the upper surface 20A of the application portion shaft 20 and the horizontal axis is preferably 0 ° ≦ α ≦ 90 ° −θ, It can be set appropriately according to the degree of spread of desired eyelashes.

  Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the shape of the lower surface 20B of the application | coating part axis | shaft 20, It is preferable at a point that it can hold down and can fix a curl, without destroying the shape of the lashes which spread radially.

  Instead of the above-described embodiment, when the application part shaft 20 of the application part 12 is viewed from the direction shown in FIG. 6, that is, when the application part is supported horizontally and the application part shaft 20 is viewed from above, the application part The shaft 20 can be shaped such that the central region is thinner than the end region. By making the application part axis | shaft 20 into such a shape, the application part axis | shaft 20 can be adapted to the natural curve of an eyelid, and an eyelash can be finished in the shape which naturally expanded three-dimensionally.

  Further, instead of the above embodiment, when the application part shaft 20 of the application part 12 is viewed from the direction shown in FIG. 7, that is, when the application part is supported horizontally and the application part shaft 20 is viewed from the side, The application part axis | shaft 20 can be made into a shape where a center area becomes thicker than an edge part area. Even with such a shape, the application part axis 20 can be adapted to the natural curve of the eyelid, and the eyelashes can be finished in a shape that naturally spreads three-dimensionally.

  Each of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 5A, 5B, 6 and 7 can be combined with each other. Particularly, the combination of the forms shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is preferable because the eyelashes can be finished in a more three-dimensional and naturally expanded shape.

  The dimension of the application part 12 (the length when the application part 12 is viewed from the side) varies depending on the intended effect and the properties of the mascara, but is 15 to 40 mm from the viewpoint of the effect of spreading the entire eyelashes radially. Is preferable, and it is more preferable that it is 20-35 mm. 5-40 are preferable and, as for the number of the comb teeth 21 in the application part 12, 8-30 are more preferable.

  By spreading the eyelashes using the mascara applicator 10 having the above configuration, the eyelashes can be spread radially and neatly. This will be described together with the method of using the mascara applicator of this embodiment with reference to FIGS.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8A, the application part 12 holding mascara cosmetic (not shown) is brought into contact with the eyelashes, and the eyelashes EL are inserted between the comb teeth 21 of the application part 12. The eyelash EL represents a single eyelash or a bundle of several eyelashes. When inserting the eyelashes EL, the eyelashes EL are inserted between the annular comb teeth from the upper side (the narrowest part of the pitch between the comb teeth 21) of the application unit axis. In the case of this embodiment, the eyelashes EL are inserted between the annular comb teeth from the upper surface 20A side (see FIG. 2B) of the application part shaft 20 in the application part 12. That is, the eyelashes EL are inserted between the annular comb teeth from the direction shown in FIG. Therefore, the state shown in FIG. 8A is a state in a line of sight when the head of the user who raised his / her upper body is looked down from above (the same applies to FIGS. 8B and 8C). .)

  Next, the application unit 12 is rotated around the application unit axis 20. Simultaneously with the rotation, the mascara application unit 10 may be moved upward. Due to the inclination of the comb teeth 21 in the application part 12, the eyelash EL that has entered the adjacent comb teeth 21 is inclined by rotating the application part 12 around the application part axis 20. It moves along the comb teeth 21 in the front end direction and the rear end direction of the application part shaft 20. As a result, as compared with the initial time point shown in FIG. FIG. 8B shows a state where the eyelash EL is widened by rotating the application unit 12 from the state shown in FIG. 8A to 45 degrees. The state where the rotation is further continued and the application unit 12 is rotated from the state shown in FIG. 8A to 90 degrees is the state where the eyelash EL is most spread. This state is shown in FIG. By performing the above operation, the mascara cosmetic is applied to the eyelash EL in a state of spreading radially. The result is a voluminous, beautifully finished eyelash.

  Returning to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, a plurality of protrusions 22 extending in the longitudinal direction of the application part 12 are formed at the tip of the application part 12. The angle formed between the extending direction of the cone projection 22 and the horizontal line (axis line of the support shaft 11) is 0 degree or a relatively small angle within 30 degrees. The protrusion 22 has an elongated triangular plate shape. The protrusions 22 are arranged in a protrusion row from the upper surface 20A to the lower surface 20B of the application portion shaft 20. As shown in FIG. 2B, the protrusion rows 22A are formed in two rows. In each projection row 22A, the plate surface of the projection 22 is orthogonal to the direction from the upper surface 20A to the lower surface 20B of the application portion shaft 20.

  In the state where the application part shaft 20 is viewed from the side, as shown in FIG. 2B, in each protrusion row 22A, the tip of the protrusion 22 moves in the direction from the upper surface 20A to the lower surface 20B of the application part shaft 20. It protrudes toward the tip of the application part 20. The envelope surface P (see FIG. 2B) formed by connecting all the protrusions 22 is a flat surface, and this envelope surface P is directed toward the longitudinal central region of the application portion 12 in the same manner as the comb teeth 12F. Inclined.

  The protrusions 22 are suitable for applying mascara cosmetics to fine portions, for example, eyelash portions near the eyes and corners of the eye, and portions having a small number of eyelashes, for example, lower eyelash portions.

  The mascara application part 10 can be manufactured by molding a thermoplastic resin. Further, the comb teeth 21 may be formed into a desired shape by forming a rough shape by molding and then performing post-processing such as cutting. Furthermore, holes are made in both the disk member that becomes the comb teeth and the cylindrical member that becomes the application part axis, and the two types of members are stacked alternately, and they are skewed and fixed with separate thin wires. You may form by doing. Resins that can be used are the same as the resins that have been used in the art.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on the preferable embodiment, this invention is not restrict | limited to the said embodiment. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the annular comb teeth 21 are arranged so that the center position of the annular comb teeth 21 coincides with the position of the axis of the application portion shaft 20. Alternatively, the center positions of all the annular comb teeth may be deviated from the axis of the application part shaft 20.

  Further, the annular comb teeth 21 do not need to be a perfect circle, and for example, a part or all of them may be an annulus having an elliptical outline.
