Description

本発明は、まつげカーラーおよび加熱式まつげカーラーシステムに関し、さらに詳しくは、まつげに負担をかけにくく、操作性が良く、十分なまつげのカール度合いが得られる、まつげカーラーおよび加熱式まつげカーラーシステムに関する。 The present invention relates to an eyelash curler and a heated eyelash curler system, and more particularly to an eyelash curler and a heated eyelash curler system which are less likely to burden the eyelashes, have good operability, and can obtain a sufficient degree of curling of the eyelashes.

従来のまつげカーラーは、例えば、特許文献１に記載されているように、カール作業時に、開閉操作部が作業者の顔の下側に位置する態様が一般的であり、このようなまつげカーラーは、まつげの狭持部の間にまつげを位置させた後、作業者が開閉操作部に力を加えることにより、まつげの狭持部でまつげを狭持し、強い圧力を加えることでまつげを折り曲げ、カールさせる。 As described in Patent Document 1, for example, the conventional eyelash curler generally has an opening / closing operation portion located below the worker's face during curling work, and such an eyelash curler is used. After positioning the eyelashes between the narrowed parts of the eyelashes, the operator applies force to the opening / closing operation part to hold the eyelashes in the narrowed part of the eyelashes and bend the eyelashes by applying strong pressure. , Curl.

そして、近年、特許文献２および特許文献３に記載されたまつげカーラーのように、カール作業時に、顔の横側（一般的に右利きが多いため右側）に開閉操作部が位置するものが考案されているが、作業者の力でまつげを狭持し、まつげに圧力を加えることによってまつげを折り曲げ、カールさせる態様は上記のまつげカーラーと同様である。 In recent years, an eyelash curler described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 has been devised in which the opening / closing operation unit is located on the side of the face (generally on the right side because many people are right-handed) during curling work. However, the mode in which the eyelashes are held by the force of the operator and the eyelashes are bent and curled by applying pressure to the eyelashes is the same as the above-mentioned eyelash curler.

また、特許文献４に記載されているように、過熱されたコームでまつげに熱を加えつつ、まつげを上方に持ち上げる作業を繰り返し、まつげをカールさせるまつげカーラーも普及している。 Further, as described in Patent Document 4, an eyelash curler that curls the eyelashes by repeatedly lifting the eyelashes upward while applying heat to the eyelashes with a superheated comb is also widespread.

しかしながら、従来のまつげカーラーは、例えば、特許文献１〜３に記載されているように、作業者が開閉操作部に強い力を加えることで、それに連動してまつげの挟持部でまつげに圧力を加え折り曲げ、まつげをカールさせるため、必要以上に大きな力がまつげに加わってしまうことが多々ある。このため、まつげに負担がかかりやすく、ひどい場合はまつげが抜けてしまうことなどもあった。 However, in the conventional eyelash curler, for example, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when an operator applies a strong force to the opening / closing operation portion, the pressure is applied to the eyelashes at the eyelash holding portion in conjunction with the force. In addition, because it bends and curls the eyelashes, more force than necessary is often applied to the eyelashes. For this reason, the eyelashes are easily burdened, and in severe cases, the eyelashes may come off.

そして、作業者はカール時に強い力を加えながら作業する必要があるため、手がぶれてしまい、細かい作業ができず、操作性が悪いという問題もあった。特許文献２および３のまつげカーラーは、作業時に顔の横側に開閉操作部が位置するため、視界が遮られにくく、細かい作業が可能となった点で操作性は向上しているが、強い力を加えながら作業する必要がある問題点は従来と同様である。 Further, since the worker needs to work while applying a strong force at the time of curling, there is also a problem that the hand is shaken, detailed work cannot be performed, and operability is poor. The eyelash curlers of Patent Documents 2 and 3 have an opening / closing operation portion located on the side of the face during work, so that the field of vision is not easily obstructed and operability is improved in that fine work is possible, but it is strong. The problem of having to work while applying force is the same as before.

一方、特許文献４に記載されているような加熱されたコームでまつげを上げる作業を繰り返す態様のまつげカーラーは、まつげに圧力を加えないためカール力が弱く、十分なカール度合いが得られにくいという問題がある。したがって、結局は、上述のようなまつげカーラーと併用して用いることが多く、作業効率が悪く、また、上述の問題点は解決されないままであった。 On the other hand, the eyelash curler in which the work of raising the eyelashes with a heated comb as described in Patent Document 4 is repeated has a weak curling force because no pressure is applied to the eyelashes, and it is difficult to obtain a sufficient degree of curling. There's a problem. Therefore, in the end, it is often used in combination with the above-mentioned eyelash curlers, the work efficiency is poor, and the above-mentioned problems remain unsolved.

そこで、上記課題を解決するため、本発明のまつげカーラーは、基端部で互いに固定された第１のアームと第２のアームを有する。そして、第１のアームは、基端部より先端部側に弾性体よりなる第１の開閉操作部と、第１の開閉操作部から所定の間隔をおいてさらに先端部側に第１のまつげ狭持部とを備える。また、第２のアームは、基端部より先端部側に弾性体よりなる第２の開閉操作部と、第２の開閉操作部から所定の間隔をおいてさらに先端部側に第２のまつげ狭持部とを備える。第１の開閉操作部と第２の開閉操作部は、所定の間隙を有しつつ互いに対峙する。第１のアームと第２のアームは、各アームの開閉操作部とまつげ狭持部との間隔領域で互いに交差する。第１のまつげ狭持部と第２のまつげ狭持部は、第１の開閉操作部と第２の開閉操作部が互いに離れる方向に与えられた開閉操作部の弾性力により接合され、互いに閉じた状態となっている。 Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the eyelash curler of the present invention has a first arm and a second arm fixed to each other at the proximal end portion. The first arm has a first opening / closing operation portion made of an elastic body on the tip end side from the base end portion, and a first eyelash on the tip end portion side at a predetermined distance from the first opening / closing operation portion. It has a narrow holding part. Further, the second arm has a second opening / closing operation portion made of an elastic body on the tip end side from the base end portion, and a second eyelash on the tip end portion side at a predetermined distance from the second opening / closing operation portion. It has a narrow holding part. The first opening / closing operation unit and the second opening / closing operation unit face each other with a predetermined gap. The first arm and the second arm intersect each other in the interval region between the opening / closing operation portion and the eyelash narrowing portion of each arm. The first eyelash holding portion and the second eyelash holding portion are joined by the elastic force of the opening / closing operation portion given in the direction in which the first opening / closing operation portion and the second opening / closing operation portion are separated from each other, and are closed to each other. It is in a state of being.

また、第１のまつげ狭持部が、先端部側に向かって二股状となっており、第１のまつげ狭持部と第２のまつげ狭持部が接合され閉じた状態の時に、第２のまつげ狭持部が、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部の間隙にはめ込み接合される。
Further, when the first eyelash holding portion has a bifurcated shape toward the tip end side and the first eyelash holding portion and the second eyelash holding portion are joined and closed, the second eyelash holding portion is formed. The eyelash narrowing portion is fitted and joined in the gap of the bifurcated first eyelash narrowing portion.

そして、第１のまつげ狭持部と第２のまつげ狭持部が接合され閉じた状態のとき、まつ毛の根元に沿うように湾曲した形状である態様も好適である。 Then, when the first eyelash holding portion and the second eyelash holding portion are joined and closed, an aspect in which the shape is curved along the root of the eyelashes is also preferable.

また、第１のまつげ狭持部と第２のまつげ狭持部が接合され閉じた状態のとき、右目または左目のまつ毛の根元に沿うように湾曲した形状である右目用または左目用まつげカーラーよりなる態様も好適である。 Also, from the right eye or left eye eyelash curler, which has a curved shape along the root of the eyelashes of the right or left eye when the first eyelash holding part and the second eyelash holding part are joined and closed. Is also suitable.

そして、まつげカーラーを脱着可能な加熱器を有し、加熱器は加熱部を備え、加熱部はまつげカーラーを加熱器に装着した時、まつげカーラーのまつげ狭持部の近傍に位置する態様も好適である。 It is also preferable that the eyelash curler has a heater that can be attached and detached, the heater is provided with a heating unit, and the heating unit is located near the eyelash curler's eyelash holding portion when the eyelash curler is attached to the heater. Is.

また、加熱器が、まつげカーラーのまつげ狭持部を挿入する挿入部を備え、挿入部にまつげカーラーのまつげ挟持部を挿入することによりまつげカーラーを加熱器に装着可能となっている態様も好適である。 It is also preferable that the heater is provided with an insertion portion for inserting the eyelash curler's eyelash holding portion, and the eyelash curler can be attached to the heater by inserting the eyelash curler's eyelash holding portion into the insertion portion. Is.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明するが、本発明は下記実施例に限定されるものではない。
図１に示すように、本発明のまつげカーラー１は、基端部２，２’で互いに固定されている第１のアーム３と第２のアーム３’を有する。ここで、固定とは、例えば、金属製よりなる第１のアーム３の基端部２と第２のアーム３’の基端部２’を溶接等により固定する場合などに限られず、例えば、金属性の１本のアームを折り曲げ、この折り曲げ部分を基端部２，２’として、第１のアーム３の基端部２と第２のアーム３’の基端部２’が固定されているような場合も含む。第１のアーム３は、基端部２より先端部４側に第１の開閉操作部５を備えている。また、第２のアーム３’は、基端部２’より先端部４’側に第２の開閉操作部５’を備えている。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
As shown in FIG. 1, the eyelid curler 1 of the present invention has a first arm 3 and a second arm 3'fixed to each other at base end portions 2, 2'. Here, the fixing is not limited to, for example, the case where the base end portion 2 of the first arm 3 made of metal and the base end portion 2'of the second arm 3'are fixed by welding or the like, for example. One metallic arm is bent, and this bent portion is used as the base end portion 2, 2', and the base end portion 2 of the first arm 3 and the base end portion 2'of the second arm 3'are fixed. Including cases where there is. The first arm 3 includes a first opening / closing operation portion 5 on the tip end portion 4 side of the base end portion 2. Further, the second arm 3'is provided with a second opening / closing operation portion 5'on the tip end portion 4'side of the base end portion 2'.

第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’は、間隙を有しつつ互いに対峙している。第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’は、手の親指と人差し指で挟んで操作することが想定されるため、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’の間隙の距離は、このことを考慮した上で、当業者が適宜設計することができる。
図示例では第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’は、先端部４，４’側に向かうほど互いの距離が離れるように間隙を有しつつ対峙している。つまり、両開閉操作部５，５’は、先端部４，４’側に向かってＶ字状に拡がっている。このように本明細書でいう間隙を有しつつ互いに対峙しているとは、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’が互いに平行な状態で対峙している場合に限られない。 The first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'face each other with a gap. Since it is assumed that the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'are operated by being sandwiched between the thumb and index finger of the hand, the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5 The distance between the gaps can be appropriately designed by those skilled in the art in consideration of this.
In the illustrated example, the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'face each other with a gap so that they are separated from each other toward the tip portions 4, 4'. That is, both opening / closing operation units 5, 5'expand in a V shape toward the tip portions 4, 4'. As described above, facing each other while having a gap as described in the present specification is limited to the case where the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'are facing each other in a parallel state. I can't.

開閉操作部５，５’は、金属製や樹脂製などの弾性体よりなっており、作業者が手（一般的に親指と人差し指）でつまみ、力を加えることで互いに接近させることが可能となっている。そして、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’は、作業者により力が加えられ接近させられたとき、元の形状に戻ろうとする力が蓄えられ、互いに離れようとする力が強くなる。したがって、作業者が開閉操作部５，５’をつまむ力を緩めると、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’は、互いの距離が離れ、元の位置に戻る。 The opening / closing operation parts 5 and 5'are made of elastic bodies such as metal and resin, and the operator can pinch them with their hands (generally the thumb and index finger) and apply force to bring them closer to each other. It has become. Then, when the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'are brought close to each other by applying a force by the operator, the force to return to the original shape is stored and tends to separate from each other. The power becomes stronger. Therefore, when the operator loosens the force of pinching the opening / closing operation units 5 and 5', the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'are separated from each other and return to their original positions.

作業者は、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’のできるだけ先端部４，４’側に力を加えることで、基端部２，２’近くで力を加える場合と比べて少ない力で第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’を接近させることができる。開閉操作部５，５’の長さや素材の弾性などを適宜選択することによって、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’を接近させるために必要な力や、力を抜いたときに第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’が離れようとする力をあらかじめ設定しておくことが可能である。 When the operator applies a force to the tip portions 4, 4'sides of the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'as much as possible, the force is applied near the base end portions 2, 2' The first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'can be brought close to each other with a smaller force. By appropriately selecting the length of the opening / closing operation units 5 and 5'and the elasticity of the material, the force required to bring the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'approaching is released. It is possible to set in advance the force that causes the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'to separate from each other.

第１のアーム３は、第１の開閉操作部５から間隔をおいて先端部４側に第１のまつげ挟持部６を備えている。また、第２のアーム３’は、第２の開閉操作部５’から間隔をおいて先端部４’側に第２のまつげ挟持部６’を備えている。開閉操作部５，５’とまつげ挟持部６，６’の間隔は、少なくとも第１のアーム３と第２のアーム３’が交差するために必要な長さを有する。 The first arm 3 is provided with a first eyelash holding portion 6 on the tip end portion 4 side at a distance from the first opening / closing operation portion 5. Further, the second arm 3'is provided with a second eyelash holding portion 6'on the tip end portion 4'side at a distance from the second opening / closing operation portion 5'. The distance between the opening / closing operation portions 5, 5'and the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'has at least the length required for the first arm 3 and the second arm 3'to intersect.

第１のアーム３と第２のアーム３’は、各アームの開閉操作部５，５’とまつげ狭持部６，６’との間隔領域Ｃで互いに交差している。つまり、第１のアーム３は、第１の開閉操作部５と第１のまつげ狭持部６の間で第２のアーム３‘と交差している。また、第２のアーム３’は、第２の開閉操作部５’と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の間で第１のアーム３と交差している。第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’は、弾性体である第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’の互いに離れる方向に与えられている弾性力により、常時は互いに接合し、閉じた状態となっている。各アーム３，３’の開閉操作部５，５’とまつげ狭持部６，６’はそれぞれ連結しているため、また、両アーム３，３’が各開閉操作部５，５’と各まつげ狭持部６，６’の間隔領域Ｃで交差しているため、弾性力による第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’の互いに離れようとする力は、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の互いに接近しようとする力に変換され、この接近しようとする力により、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’は、互いに接合されている。したがって、まつげ狭持部６，６’が互いに接合する力、閉じる力、つまりまつげを狭持する力は、開閉操作部５，５’の素材や長さによりあらかじめ設定することが可能である。 The first arm 3 and the second arm 3'intersect each other in an interval region C between the opening / closing operation portions 5, 5'and the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'of each arm. That is, the first arm 3 intersects the second arm 3'between the first opening / closing operation portion 5 and the first eyelash narrowing portion 6. Further, the second arm 3'intersects the first arm 3 between the second opening / closing operation portion 5'and the second eyelash holding portion 6'. The first eyelash narrowing portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'have elasticity given to the elastic bodies of the first opening / closing operation portion 5 and the second opening / closing operation portion 5'in directions away from each other. Due to the force, they are always joined to each other and are in a closed state. Since the opening / closing operation parts 5, 5'of each arm 3, 3'and the eyelash narrowing parts 6, 6'are connected to each other, both arms 3, 3'are connected to each opening / closing operation part 5, 5', respectively. Since the eyelash narrowing portions 6 and 6'intersect in the interval region C, the force of the first opening / closing operation portion 5 and the second opening / closing operation portion 5'due to the elastic force to separate from each other is the first. It is converted into a force that tries to approach each other of the eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6', and the force that tries to approach each other causes the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion. The 6'are joined to each other. Therefore, the force for joining the eyelash narrowing portions 6 and 6'to each other, the closing force, that is, the force for holding the eyelashes can be set in advance depending on the material and length of the opening / closing operation portions 5 and 5'.

本発明のこのような態様により、まつげ狭持部６，６’によりまつげに与える力の最大値があらかじめ設定される。したがって、余分な力をまつげに与えることなく、まつげの損傷を抑えることが可能となる。また、開閉操作部５，５’を構成する弾性体の素材や長さを適宜選択、調整することにより、適度なカール度合いを得るために必要かつ十分な力をまつげに与えることが可能となる。 According to such an aspect of the present invention, the maximum value of the force applied to the eyelashes by the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'is preset. Therefore, it is possible to suppress damage to the eyelashes without applying extra force to the eyelashes. Further, by appropriately selecting and adjusting the material and length of the elastic body constituting the opening / closing operation portions 5, 5', it is possible to apply the necessary and sufficient force to the eyelashes to obtain an appropriate degree of curl. ..

次に本発明のまつげカーラー１を用いたまつげカール作業の一例を説明する。図２に示すように、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’に力が与えられると、第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’が互いに接近し、これにともない第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’は互いに離れ、開いた状態となる。すなわち、作業者が、開閉操作部５，５’を手に持ち、一般的に親指と人差し指で開閉操作部５，５’をつまみ、力を加えて第１の開閉操作部５と第２の開閉操作部５’を互いに接近させることにより、これに連動して、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’が互いに離れ、開いた状態となる。 Next, an example of eyelash curling work using the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, when a force is applied to the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5', the first opening / closing operation unit 5 and the second opening / closing operation unit 5'approach each other. As a result, the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6'are separated from each other and are in an open state. That is, the operator holds the opening / closing operation units 5, 5'in his hand, generally picks up the opening / closing operation units 5, 5'with his thumb and index finger, and applies force to the first opening / closing operation units 5 and the second. By bringing the opening / closing operation unit 5'close to each other, the first eyelid holding portion 6 and the second eyelid holding portion 6'are separated from each other and are in an open state in conjunction with this.

第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’が開いた状態で第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の間にまつげを位置させ、その後、作業者が手の力を抜くと、図３に示すように、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’が互いに接合し、閉じた状態となり、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の間にまつげが狭持された状態となる。したがって、まつげを狭持しているときに、作業者は、まつげに圧力を与えるための力を加える必要がなく、力を抜いた状態でカール作業を実施できる。そして、前述したとおり、開閉操作部５，５’の素材や長さなどにより、あらかじめまつげ狭持部６，６’が接合する力、つまり、まつげを狭持する力が設定されているため、まつげのカールに十分な力がまつげに加えられる。このように、開閉操作部５，５’は、作業者が、まつげ狭持部６，６’の開閉操作を行う役割を持つとともに、まつげカーラー１本体を保持するための把持部としての役割も持ち、さらにはまつげ挟持部６，６’に開閉操作部５，５’に由来する弾性力による力を与え、まつげに圧力を加える役割も持つ。また、本発明のまつげカーラー１は、カール作業時にまつげ狭持部６，６’を顔の横側からまつげに近づけ位置させ、また、まつげを狭持する際にも、開閉操作部５，５’や作業者の手は顔の横側に位置するため、作業者の視界を遮らない。さらに、作業者が手をひねる操作を行うことにより、まつげのカール度合いの微調整をすることも可能である。 With the first eyelash holding part 6 and the second eyelash holding part 6'open, position the eyelashes between the first eyelash holding part 6 and the second eyelash holding part 6', and then position the eyelashes. When the operator relaxes his / her hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6'join each other and become closed, and the first eyelash The eyelashes are held between the narrowed portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowed portion 6'. Therefore, when the eyelashes are held tightly, the operator does not need to apply a force for applying pressure to the eyelashes, and the curling operation can be performed in a relaxed state. As described above, the force for joining the eyelash narrowing portions 6 and 6', that is, the force for holding the eyelashes is set in advance depending on the material and length of the opening / closing operation portions 5 and 5'. Sufficient force is applied to the lashes to curl the lashes. In this way, the opening / closing operation units 5, 5'have a role of the operator opening / closing the eyelash narrowing portions 6, 6', and also a role of a gripping part for holding the eyelash curler 1 main body. It also has the role of applying pressure to the eyelashes by applying force due to the elastic force derived from the opening / closing operation parts 5, 5'to the eyelash holding parts 6, 6'. Further, in the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention, the eyelash narrowing portions 6 and 6'are positioned closer to the eyelashes from the side of the face during curling work, and the opening / closing operation portions 5 and 5 are also used when holding the eyelashes. 'And the worker's hands are located on the side of the face, so they do not block the worker's view. Further, it is possible to finely adjust the degree of curl of the eyelashes by the operator twisting the hand.

そして、本発明の実施の形態として、図１および図２に示すように、本発明のまつげカーラー１は、第１のまつげ狭持部６を、先端部４側に向かって二股状とし、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の接合時、つまり閉じた状態のとき、第２のまつげ狭持部６’が二股状となっている第１のまつげ狭持部６の間隙にはめ込まれる構成とすることができる。つまり、第１のまつげ狭持部６を２本歯フォーク状とし、第２のまつげ狭持部６’を１本歯状として、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’が互いに接合し、閉じた状態となるときに、１本歯状の第２のまつげ狭持部６’が、第１のまつげ狭持部６の２本歯フォーク状の歯の間に位置して接合するように設計することができる。 Then, as an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention has a first eyelash narrowing portion 6 having a bifurcated shape toward the tip portion 4 side. When the 1st eyelash narrowing portion 6 and the 2nd eyelash narrowing portion 6'are joined, that is, when the eyelash narrowing portion 6'is in the closed state, the 2nd eyelash narrowing portion 6'is bifurcated. It can be configured to be fitted in the gap of the portion 6. That is, the first eyelash narrowing portion 6 has a two-tooth fork shape, the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'has a single-tooth shape, and the first eyelash narrowing portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowing portion have a single tooth shape. When the 6'joins each other and becomes closed, the one-toothed second eyelash holding portion 6'is between the two-tooth fork-shaped teeth of the first eyelash holding portion 6. It can be designed to be positioned and joined.

図４（ａ）に示すように、開閉操作部５，５’に力を加え、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’を開いた状態とし、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部６がまつげの下側に位置し、第２のまつげ狭持部６’がまつげの上側に位置するように、まつげＩを第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の間に位置させた後、開閉操作部５，５’に加えていた力を抜く。すると、図４（ｂ）に示すように、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’が接合し、閉じた状態となり、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部６が、まつげＩを下から第２のまつげ狭持部６’の形状に沿わせる形となる。 As shown in FIG. 4A, a force is applied to the opening / closing operation portions 5 and 5'to make the first eyelash narrowing portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'open, and the bifurcated first. Eyelash I is placed on the first eyelash holding part 6 and the second eyelash holding part 6'so as to be located on the lower side of the eyelash and the second eyelash holding part 6'is located on the upper side of the eyelash. After locating it between the eyelash narrowing portions 6', release the force applied to the opening / closing operation portions 5 and 5'. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6'are joined and closed, and the bifurcated first eyelash holding portion 6 is formed. However, the eyelash I is shaped to follow the shape of the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'from the bottom.

このような構成により、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部６が、まつげＩを第２のまつげ狭持部６’に沿わせることによって、まつ毛をカールさせるため、まつげに必要以上の圧力が加わることがなく、まつげに負担がかかりにくい。 With such a configuration, the bifurcated first eyelash holding portion 6 curls the eyelashes by aligning the eyelash I with the second eyelash holding portion 6', so that excessive pressure is applied to the eyelashes. It doesn't add, and it doesn't put a burden on the eyelashes.

また、図４（ｂ）に示すように、第２のまつげ狭持部６’の下端部周辺を第１のまつげ狭持部６と接合しない構成とすれば、第２のまつげ狭持部６’の下端部周辺に沿わされたまつげには、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’による挟み圧力がかからない。したがって、第２のまつげ狭持部６’の下端部周辺のカーブを強め（Ｒを小さめ）の形状とすることにより、まつげに負担がかかりにくく、かつ、十分なカールを与えることが可能となる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, if the periphery of the lower end portion of the second eyelash holding portion 6'is not joined to the first eyelash holding portion 6, the second eyelash holding portion 6 is formed. No pinching pressure is applied to the eyelashes along the lower end of the eyelashes by the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'. Therefore, by making the curve around the lower end of the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'stronger (smaller R), it is possible to reduce the burden on the eyelashes and give sufficient curl. ..

そして、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の接合時の形状、つまり閉じた状態の形状は、まつげの根元に沿うように湾曲していることが好ましい。まつげ狭持部６，６’を平均的な女性のまつ毛の根元に沿うような湾曲形状とすることにより、より多量のまつげを一度の狭持作業で、まつげの根元からカールすることが可能となり、作業効率が向上する。 The shape of the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6'at the time of joining, that is, the shape in the closed state is preferably curved along the root of the eyelash. By making the eyelashes 6 and 6'curved along the roots of the average female eyelashes, it is possible to curl more eyelashes from the roots of the eyelashes with a single pinching operation. , Work efficiency is improved.

また、図５に示すように、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’の接合時の形状が、一般的な女性のまつ毛の右目または左目のまつ毛の根元に沿うように湾曲している右目用Ｒまたは左目用Ｌのまつげカーラー１とすることもできる。右目用Ｒのまつげカーラー１は、作業者の顔の右側からまつげ狭持部６，６’を右目のまつげに接近、狭持し、カール作業を行うことが可能である。また、左目用Ｌのまつげカーラー１は、作業者の顔の左側からまつげ狭持部６，６’を左目のまつげに接近、狭持し、カール作業を行うことが可能である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'at the time of joining is along the root of the right eye or left eye eyelash of a general female eyelash. The eyelash curler 1 for the right eye or L for the left eye, which is curved as described above, can also be used. The eyelash curler 1 for the right eye can approach and hold the eyelash narrowing portions 6 and 6'from the right side of the worker's face to and hold the eyelashes of the right eye to perform curling work. Further, the eyelash curler 1 for the left eye can approach and hold the eyelash narrowing portions 6, 6'from the left side of the worker's face to the eyelashes of the left eye to perform curling work.

このような構成により、カール作業の作業効率が向上し、また、右目または左目のまつげの根元に的確にカールを与えることが可能となる。なお、当然、右目用Ｒのまつげカーラー１と左目用Ｌのまつげカーラー１をセットとする構成も可能である。 With such a configuration, the work efficiency of the curling work is improved, and it is possible to accurately curl the base of the eyelashes of the right eye or the left eye. Of course, it is also possible to set the R eyelash curler 1 for the right eye and the L eyelash curler 1 for the left eye as a set.

そして、図５に示すように、本発明のまつげカーラー１は、本発明のまつげカーラー１を脱着可能な別体よりなる加熱器７を有する加熱型まつげカーラーシステムとすることも可能である。この加熱器７は、まつげカーラー１を装着したときに加熱部８がまつげ狭持部６，６’の近傍に位置するように設計されており、まつげ狭持部６，６’を加熱部８により加熱することが可能である。例えば、図５のように、まつげカーラー１を寝かした状態で加熱器７にはめ込む態様が考えられる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention can be a heating type eyelash curler system having a heater 7 made of a detachable separate body of the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention. This heater 7 is designed so that the heating portion 8 is located in the vicinity of the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'when the eyelash curler 1 is attached, and the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'are placed in the vicinity of the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'. It is possible to heat with. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, it is conceivable that the eyelash curler 1 is fitted into the heater 7 in a laid state.

加熱部８の熱源は、例えばセラミックヒーターなどを採用することが可能である。また、電源としては電池に限られず、ＵＳＢ電源などを用いることも考えられる。そして、まつげ狭持部６，６’の過加熱を防止するため、所定の時間が経過すると点灯する安全ランプ部を設けること可能である。これらは、当業者によれば、適宜設計可能な態様で構成することができる。 For the heat source of the heating unit 8, for example, a ceramic heater or the like can be adopted. Further, the power source is not limited to a battery, and a USB power source or the like may be used. Then, in order to prevent overheating of the eyelid holding portions 6, 6', it is possible to provide a safety lamp portion that lights up after a predetermined time has elapsed. According to those skilled in the art, these can be configured in a manner that can be appropriately designed.

加熱器７を用いることにより、まつげ狭持部６，６’に熱を与えることが可能となり、加熱されたまつげ狭持部６，６’により、まつげに熱を加えながらカール作業を行うことが可能となる。周知のとおり、まつげに熱を加えつつカールを行うと、熱を加えない場合と比較して、少ない力でカールが可能となる。したがって、本発明のまつげカーラー１と組み合わせることにより、まつげの適切なカール度合いを簡単に得られるため、まつげに対する負担も少なくなる。 By using the heater 7, it is possible to apply heat to the eyelash holding portions 6, 6', and the heated eyelash holding portions 6, 6'can perform curling work while applying heat to the eyelashes. It will be possible. As is well known, curling while applying heat to the eyelashes enables curling with less force than when no heat is applied. Therefore, by combining with the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention, an appropriate degree of curling of the eyelashes can be easily obtained, and the burden on the eyelashes is reduced.

また、加熱器７は、まつげカーラー１と別体とされており、まつげカーラー１自体は、加熱部８や電源部などを有せず、軽量かつコンパクトであるため、作業者のカール作業時におけるまつげカーラー１を把持する力が低減され、操作性に優れ、細かな作業が可能となる。 Further, the heater 7 is separate from the eyelash curler 1, and the eyelash curler 1 itself does not have a heating unit 8 or a power supply unit, and is lightweight and compact, so that it can be used during curling work by an operator. The force for gripping the eyelash curler 1 is reduced, the operability is excellent, and fine work is possible.

なお、できるだけ長い時間、まつげ狭持部６，６’の温度を維持すべく、まつ毛狭持部の素材を比熱の高い、例えば金属製などにすることが考えられる。そして、さらに、まつげ狭持部６，６’を熱伝導率の低い素材、例えばシリコン樹脂などで覆うことにより、加熱された熱伝導率の高い金属製などよりなる狭持部６，６’が、直接作業者のまぶたに当たることによるやけどや作業者の不快感を低減することが可能となる。 In order to maintain the temperature of the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'for as long as possible, it is conceivable that the material of the eyelash holding portion is made of metal or the like having a high specific heat. Further, by covering the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'with a material having a low thermal conductivity, for example, silicon resin, the narrow holding portions 6, 6'made of a heated metal having a high thermal conductivity, etc. , It is possible to reduce burns and discomfort of the operator due to direct contact with the eyelids of the operator.

そして、カール作業時にまつげの下側に位置する予定のまつげ狭持部６，６’についてのみ熱伝導率の低い例えばシリコン樹脂などで覆い、上側に位置する予定のまつげ狭持部６，６’については、熱伝導率の高い金属などの素材がむき出しとなった状態とする構成も可能である。まつげをカールさせるためには、まつげの下側よりも上側の方がカーブを強く（Ｒを小さく）する必要がある。したがって、上記構成をとることにより、強いカーブが必要なまつげの上側に、より多くの熱を加え、弱いカーブで十分なまつげの下側には少なめの熱を加えることが可能となり、効率的にきれいなまつげカールを実現可能となる。 Then, only the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'planned to be located on the lower side of the eyelashes during curling work are covered with, for example, silicon resin having low thermal conductivity, and the eyelash holding portions 6, 6'scheduled to be located on the upper side It is also possible to have a structure in which a material such as a metal having a high thermal conductivity is exposed. In order to curl the eyelashes, it is necessary to make the curve stronger (smaller R) on the upper side than on the lower side of the eyelashes. Therefore, by adopting the above configuration, it is possible to apply more heat to the upper side of the eyelashes that require a strong curve, and to apply less heat to the lower side of the eyelashes that are sufficient with a weak curve, which is efficient. A beautiful eyelash curl can be achieved.

つまり、例えば、図４に示すように、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部６を採用した場合、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部６をシリコン樹脂Ｓで覆い、第２のまつげ狭持部６’は、比熱の高い金属などの素材がむきだしのままとする。そして、このような第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’でまつげを狭持すると、まつげの上側は、二股状の第１のまつげ狭持部６により第２のまつげ狭持部６’に沿わされつつ、まつげの下側よりも多くの熱が与えられる。このような構成により、第２のまつげ狭持部６’の形状に基づいた、きれいなカールを実現することが可能となる。 That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, when the bifurcated first eyelash holding portion 6 is adopted, the bifurcated first eyelash holding portion 6 is covered with the silicone resin S, and the second eyelash narrowing portion 6 is used. In the holding part 6', a material such as a metal having a high specific heat is left exposed. Then, when the eyelashes are narrowed by the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash holding portion 6', the upper side of the eyelash is seconded by the bifurcated first eyelash holding portion 6. More heat is given than the underside of the eyelashes while being along the eyelash pinch 6'. With such a configuration, it is possible to realize a clean curl based on the shape of the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'.

なお、変形例として、図６に示すような、加熱器７が、まつげ狭持部６，６’を挿入することが可能な挿入部９を有し、加熱部８が挿入部９の周辺に配置されている構成を採用することも可能である。すなわち、まつげカーラー１と別体よりなる加熱器７の筐体内部にまつげ狭持部６，６’を挿入する挿入部９を設けて、まつげカーラー１のまつげ狭持部６，６’を挿入部９に挿入することで、まつげカーラー１を加熱器７に装着可能となる。 As a modification, as shown in FIG. 6, the heater 7 has an insertion portion 9 into which the eyelash holding portions 6 and 6'can be inserted, and the heating portion 8 is located around the insertion portion 9. It is also possible to adopt the arranged configuration. That is, an insertion portion 9 for inserting the eyelash narrowing portions 6, 6'is provided inside the housing of the heater 7 which is separate from the eyelash curler 1, and the eyelash narrowing portions 6, 6'of the eyelash curler 1 are inserted. By inserting it into the portion 9, the eyelash curler 1 can be attached to the heater 7.

本発明のまつげカーラー１は、第１のまつげ狭持部６と第２のまつげ狭持部６’が接合し、閉じた状態であるため、作業者がまつげ狭持部６，６’を挿入部９に挿入するとき、まつげ狭持部６，６’を閉じる作業が必要なく、簡単にまつげカーラー１を加熱器７へ挿入、装着することが可能となる。また、このような態様をとることにより、非常にコンパクトな加熱式のまつげカーラーシステムが実現する。 In the eyelash curler 1 of the present invention, since the first eyelash holding portion 6 and the second eyelash narrowing portion 6'are joined and closed, the operator inserts the eyelash narrowing portions 6 and 6'. When inserting into the portion 9, it is not necessary to close the eyelash holding portions 6 and 6', and the eyelash curler 1 can be easily inserted and attached to the heater 7. Further, by taking such an aspect, a very compact heating type eyelash curler system is realized.
