Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention is a cosmetic applicator, and more specifically, the applicator is detachably attached to a support and the applicator can be easily replaced. The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator that is economical and easy to use.

[Prior Art] Various devices have been devised as this type of cosmetic applicator. For example, a brush (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-47912) consisting of a bag-shaped brush body, a support body having a clamping piece at its base, and a handle having an engaging hole that engages with a protrusion of the clamping piece; Cosmetic applicator consisting of a roughly elliptical elastic attachment part with a hole and a bag-shaped sliding brush (publication of Utility Model Publication No. 53-24438), a brush tip with a brush tip at the tip and an insertion piece at the base. A cosmetic brush consisting of a support and a handle with an insertion hole at the tip (publication of Utility Model Publication No. 61-38499), an elastic bifurcated clamping piece, a sponge brush, and a bifurcated sponge brush. There is a cosmetic tool (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 108708/1983) consisting of a diaphragm tube that is clamped and fixed between shaped clamping pieces.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, in the brush of Utility Model Publication No. 51-47912, it is not easy to replace the brush body due to the complicated structure of the support and handle, and it is uneconomical in terms of manufacturing cost. It had some drawbacks. Next, in the cosmetic applicator of Utility Model Publication No. 53-24438, when removing the bag-shaped sliding brush from the brush holder, the sliding brush is picked up with the fingertips and pulled lightly, and the engaging protrusion of the brush holder is removed. The engagement between the contact brush and the sliding brush is released. Another drawback was that the sliding brush was deformed in the same way as the brush holder and could not be removed properly. Next, in the cosmetic writing instrument of Utility Model Publication No. 61-38499, when attempting to replace the brush font, it is not possible to replace only the font, but the brush tip support must be replaced, which is extremely uneconomical. It was something. In the cosmetic tool disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-108708, a part of the sponge brush part is clamped and fixed between the bifurcated clamps, so there is a core inside the sponge brush part. Without,
The disadvantage was that there was a lot of play when applying the cosmetic, making it unstable and difficult to use.

As described above, it has been desired to provide a cosmetic applicator that allows the applicator to be replaced more easily and is excellent in economy and usability.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the above points, the present inventor has devised the present invention as a result of intensive study.

That is, the present invention is a cosmetic applicator comprising a bag-shaped applicator and an elastic support, in which one end of the support is used as an attachment part for the bag-shaped applicator,
An insertion hole is provided at the other end of the support so that the attachment portion can be locked when the support is bent approximately at the center, and the base of the applicator attached to the attachment portion is inserted into the attachment hole. This cosmetic applicator is characterized in that it can be held by an insertion hole.

[Operation] Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when replacing the applicator, the support can be further pressed in the direction of bending and the base of the applicator can be released from being held between the insertion hole and the attachment part, and the applicator can be replaced. It can be removed from the mounting part. To install a new applicator, when the attachment part is inserted into the insertion hole, perform the operation opposite to the removal of the applicator described above, and when the attachment part is not inserted into the insertion hole, attach the applicator to the attachment part. Next, the attachment part to which this applicator is attached can be inserted into the insertion hole and attached.

As described above, the base of the application body is reliably held between the attachment portion and the insertion hole due to the elasticity of the support, and can be stably attached to the support without falling off.

[Example] The structure of the present invention will be explained below based on the drawings showing the example.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a bag-shaped coating body made of sponge, elastomer, nonwoven fabric, or the like.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a support body made of an elastic material and formed to be bendable at approximately the center portion 4, and one end of which is a tapered attachment portion 3 for the applicator 1; The shape of the portion 3 may be any shape as long as it can be inserted into the applicator 1. An insertion hole 5 is bored at the other end of the support body 2. The insertion hole 5 allows the mounting portion 3 to be inserted and locked when the support body 2 is bent at approximately the center portion 4. In addition, the insertion hole 5 is inserted into the bag-shaped application body 1.
When the support 2 with the attached support 2 is inserted and locked, the base 6 of the applicator 1 can be held.

The application body 1 is reliably attached to the support body 2 by the elastic force of the support body 2.

In the cosmetic applicator of the present invention, when replacing the applicator 1, first press the support 2 in the direction of further bending to release the base 6 of the applicator 1 from the grip between the attachment part 3 and the insertion hole 5. Next, apply body 1
When you pick it up with your fingertips and pull it lightly, the base 6 of the applicator 1 has already come out of the clamped state between the attachment part 3 and the insertion hole 5 due to the elastic force of the support 2, so the applicator 1 is removed from the support 2. It can be easily removed from the attachment part 3.

To attach a new applicator 1, when the attachment part 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 5, the operation for removing the applicator 1 described above may be performed in the reverse order. In addition, if the mounting part 3 is not inserted into the insertion hole 5 (for example, the state shown in Fig. 2), first attach the application body 1 to the mounting part 3, and then attach this application body 1. The support body 2 may be bent at approximately the center portion 4 and the mounting portion 3 may be inserted into the insertion hole 5. By releasing the force that presses the support 2 in the bending direction, a force that causes the support 2 to return to its original state due to its elastic force acts on the attachment portion 3 and the locking portion of the insertion hole 5. The base 6 of the applicator 1 is securely held, and the applicator 1 is stably attached to the support 2 without falling off.

[Effects of the invention] As detailed above, the cosmetic applicator of the present invention utilizes the elasticity of the support, and not only can the applicator be replaced extremely easily, but also the applicator can be replaced easily by locking the attachment part and the insertion hole. can be securely attached to the support. Furthermore, the present invention can be constructed from two types of parts, and each part has a simple structure, making it extremely economical.

In addition, the present invention allows the applicator to be attached to the support without using adhesives, and not only is it easy to mold the support, but it is also easy to manufacture the cosmetic applicator. Because it is economical,
It has the advantage that it can be used not only as a cosmetic applicator with a replaceable applicator, but also as a regular cosmetic applicator and as a disposable cosmetic applicator.

Furthermore, when using the cosmetic applicator of the present invention, the attachment part is inserted inside the bag-shaped applicator, so there is no play in the applicator, making it stable and easy to use. Are better.
