Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator, and more particularly to a puff suitable for applying a liquid cosmetic (liquid foundation).

[Conventional technology]

Liquid foundation is a kind of so-called liquid cosmetics, which is a low viscosity paste-like or emulsion-like foundation, and is preferred because it gives a good spread and natural makeup. When applying a liquid foundation, it is common to spread it with a finger. However, if the liquid foundation is applied with fingers, the fingers may get dirty or the cosmetic may get between the nails, and the cosmetics between the nails are hard to wash even if the hand is washed.
In addition, recently, it has become popular to extend nails for nail polish or to attach long artificial nails.In such cases, trying to apply cosmetics with fingers not only soils the hands but Or use artificial nails to damage the skin. Therefore, as a practical matter, it is not possible to apply cosmetics with the fingers.

It is also conventional to use a puff instead of applying the liquid foundation with a finger. In this case, the puff made of ordinary foam that is usually used to apply pressed powder foundation or creamy foundation will make the cosmetic penetrate into the puff, so it will be used as a liquid cosmetic puff. It is known that cosmetics are designed so that they do not penetrate into the puff.

For example, a liquid-tight layer is provided at a position slightly inside the outer surface of the puff so that the cosmetic does not penetrate deep inside the puff. The liquid-tight layer may be a synthetic resin film or a hot-melt resin film, may be formed by coating a synthetic resin liquid or an adhesive, or may use a mold surface film of a foamed material (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-355). Bulletin,
JP-B-61-27528, JP-B-58-4651
No. 2, etc.).

Alternatively, the surface of the puff made of foam is treated to prevent the cosmetic from penetrating into the puff. For example, the foam may be heat-treated to crush the bubbles to make it liquid-tight.
44263, JP-A-58-97305),
The foam is compressed and fixed to increase the apparent density to prevent penetration of the cosmetic into the inside (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-37121).

In addition, there are many ones in which a liquid-tight coating is provided on the surface of an elastic body which is a core of a puff to prevent internal penetration of cosmetics.
For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-21925 discloses that a fibrous resin is sprayed to form a continuous film on the surface of an elastic core body.
Japanese Patent No. 20249 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-33870 disclose that a synthetic resin coating is attached to the surface of an elastic core.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

As described above, applying the liquid foundation using a finger has a problem of soiling the finger or damaging the skin.

Further, when the conventional liquid cosmetic puff is used, the cosmetic does not enter the puff, but coating spots occur. Liquid cosmetic puffs have a smoother surface than other foundation puffs, while liquid foundations have better spread than other foundations, i.e. skin when applied. Therefore, when the cosmetic is spread, it is scraped off by the smooth surface of the puff, and the cosmetic moves with the puff on the skin, resulting in spotting. Fine irregularities are formed on the surface coating of a liquid cosmetic puff, fluffing, and short fibers are transplanted (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-97305).
No.), but the fluff and short fibers attach streaks to the cosmetics, or the liquid cosmetics lay down the fluff and short fibers, that is, the same as those without fluff and short fibers. As a result, there is still no satisfactory result for spotting.

[Purpose of device]

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can be applied without smearing the fingers or scratching the skin when applying the liquid foundation, and the liquid foundation does not penetrate into the puff, and the coating spots of the cosmetic are not applied. It is an object of the present invention to provide a puff that can be spread with a cosmetic so as to prevent the occurrence of blisters.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the present invention, a cosmetic puff is characterized in that one side of the puff is provided with both a portion that prevents the permeation of the cosmetic into the puff and a portion that is flocked or granulated. Solved.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of the cosmetic puff of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG.

According to the cosmetic puff of the present invention, a portion (hereinafter, referred to as a cosmetic permeation prevention portion) 2 which prevents the permeation of the cosmetic into the puff is provided on the surface of the core 1 having a proper elasticity such as foam. To be A flocked part 4 is provided on the surface of the puff on the same side as the cosmetic penetration preventing part 2.

In the present invention, the cosmetic permeation preventing portion 2 is used for rough spreading of cosmetics (that is, rough coating for lightly spreading cosmetics), and the flocked portion 4 is a portion used for finishing spreading.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 is provided on both sides of the puff, and the flocked portion 4 is provided only on one of the surfaces.
However, the flocked portions 4 may be provided on both sides of the puff.
As another embodiment, the cosmetic material penetration preventing portion 2 may be provided only on one surface of the cosmetic puff, and the hair transplant portion 4 may be provided on that one surface.

In the first embodiment, the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 is made of a thin film having fine pores manufactured by a wet process. The thin film 2 is attached to the elastic core body 1 with the adhesive 3.

Generally, in order to produce a thin film having fine pores by a wet process, a coating consisting of a solute (film forming substance) that forms a film and a solvent (solvent) that forms bubbles is applied to a base fabric to form a film. The substance to be formed is not dissolved, but it is immersed in a liquid (coagulating liquid) that is compatible with the solvent. The solvent elutes in the coagulation liquid, and conversely the coagulation liquid penetrates into the solvent, so that the solubility of the film-forming substance decreases and a film is formed. When this is dried, a thin film having fine pores is obtained on the base cloth. The size of the fine pores in the thin film can be appropriately adjusted by appropriately selecting the solvent, coagulation conditions, pore-forming agent and the like.

Polyurethane, polyamino acid, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyester and the like can be used as the kind of the thin film 2 (that is, the film forming substance) that can be used in the cosmetic puff of the present invention.

In the present invention, this thin film is used by peeling it from the base cloth. In this case, the elastic core 1 is made so that the air surface film (that is, the surface not in contact with the base cloth) of the thin film becomes the outer surface of the puff.
There are two methods of attaching the thin film to the elastic core body 1 so that the surface of the thin film that was in contact with the base cloth becomes the outer surface of the puff and the air surface film is the inner surface of the puff. However, any of them may be used.

In the above case, since the permeation of the cosmetics is mainly prevented by the air surface film on the outer surface of the puff, it is preferable to use the one having the pore size of about 0.25 to 30 μm on the surface of the air surface film. Since the size of the pigment (approximately 5 to 40 μm) differs depending on each cosmetic, it may be appropriately selected according to the pigment.

In the above case, the air surface film in the thin film is located inside the puff, and the air surface film is thinly coated with an adhesive and bonded to the elastic core 1. When an adhesive is applied to a normal foam used for a cosmetic applicator, the adhesive will penetrate into the pores of the foam, but the air surface film of the thin film by the wet method is extremely fine, so the air surface film The adhesive applied to the film does not penetrate into the thin film and closes the pores of the air surface film. Therefore, in this aspect, the synergistic action of the air surface film and the adhesive can prevent the cosmetic from penetrating into the puff.

In the above case, the pore size in the thin film is 0.25 to 2
It is preferable to use the one of 00μ.

Further, in the above case, since the surface in contact with the base cloth becomes the outer surface of the puff, the unevenness of the cloth of the base cloth transferred to the thin film appears on the surface of the puff. Preferably, the base fabric used in the production of the thin film is a fabric having fine texture (for example, nylon fabric).
Then, the dough is passed through a calendar roll to smooth the surface of the base fabric before use. By doing so, it is possible to obtain the fine pattern of the thin film texture on the surface of the puff.

Further, as a modification of the above, a compressed thin film can be used. In order to produce a compressed thin film, it is convenient to press while heating and fix it in a compressed state before peeling the thin film from the base fabric. The compression conditions are a treatment temperature of 50 to 230 ° C., preferably 80 to 180 ° C., a treatment time of 1 to 300 seconds, preferably 3 to 180 seconds, and a compression rate of 10 to 90%, preferably 40 to 80%. is there. The thickness of the coating before compression is 10 to 500 μ, preferably 20 to 3
The thickness of the coating after compression is 3 to 170 μ, preferably 7 to 100 μ. For example, a film having a thickness of 160 μm is heated and compressed to form a film having a thickness of 60 μm. Since such a compressed thin film reduces the permeation of the cosmetic into the thin film, it is particularly suitable for applying a liquid foundation having a low viscosity.

In order to attach the thin film 2 to the elastic core body 1, it is only necessary to thinly apply a usual solvent type or emulsion type adhesive. As the adhesive 3, for example, chloroprene,
A rubber type such as nitrile, or an emulsion type or a solvent type such as a polyurethane type, a polyester type, a polyacrylic copolymer type, a polyamide type, a polyolefin type, or a polyvinyl type can be used.

The flocked portion 4 is formed by flocking, and synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester are used for the bristles, and the bristles have a length of 1.5 mm or less, preferably about 0.2 to 0.6 mm. If the length of the hair is too long, the hair may collapse when the cosmetic material adheres, or the cosmetic material may remain adhered between the hairs, and the hair may harden when the cosmetic material dries. Therefore, it is preferable that the hair length is not too long.

Further, according to the present invention, the planting portion 4 may be planted by planting instead of planting hair. The types of granules to be planted include foamed rubber (NBR, SBR, urethane rubber, butyl rubber, acrylic rubber, silicone rubber, etc.), foamed plastic (PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, etc.), protein (amino acids, sponges, etc.) , Fiber (cotton,
Rayon, silk, hemp, PVA, cork, cellulose acetate, etc.) and inorganic powders (ceramics, hirucite, carbon, silica, zeolites, etc.) and the like; nylon,
Beads of silicone, styrene, polyethylene, glass, methyl methacrylate, calcium carbonate, barium carbonate, calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, iron oxide, silica or the like can be used.

The average particle size of the powder or granules is 1 to 1000 μ, preferably about 5 to 30 μ.

In order to form the seedling portion, an adhesive is applied to the portion to be the seedling portion, and the powder or granular material is seeded thereon by an appropriate method (for example, spraying, vibration spraying, electrostatic spraying, etc.). do it.

Since the hairs or granules are fixed by the adhesive (not shown) at the flocked or planted part 4, the part below the flocked or planted part 4, that is, the part to which the adhesive is applied is not necessarily the puff of the cosmetic. Although it does not have to be a portion that prevents penetration into the interior, it is preferably a thin film 2 (that is, a portion that prevents penetration of the cosmetic into the puff) as shown in FIG.

When applying cosmetics using the puff shown in FIG.
First, hold the cosmetic penetration prevention part 2 on top (that is, the flocked part 4 is hidden under the thumb) with the thumb in the middle of the puff, and hold the other finger on the back side. A cosmetic is applied to the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 and the cosmetic is lightly spread on the face, and then the puff is rotated halfway in the same plane so that the flocked portion 4 is upward (that is, the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 is Gently spread the above cosmetics so that it hides under your thumb. In this way, the cosmetic can be applied without soiling the hands.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of another embodiment of the cosmetic puff of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an embodiment along IV-IV of FIG.

In this embodiment, the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 is a liquid-tight synthetic resin film 2 laminated on the surface of the elastic core body 1.
1 and a thin foam layer 22 laminated thereon. The foam layer 22 preferably has bubbles smaller than the bubbles of the foam constituting the elastic core 1.

In this embodiment, the flocked portions 4 are formed diagonally on both ends of the puff.

The cosmetic material permeation preventive portion 2 of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and a structure that is conventionally known to prevent permeation of the cosmetic material into the puff can be used.

In addition, in the present invention, the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 and the hair-implanted or grain-implanted portion 4 may be provided on both front and back surfaces of the cosmetic puff. In the case of this makeup puff, if you use both sides of the puff at the time of one makeup, you will use the puff inside out with one side of the puff wet due to the liquid foundation, and your hands will get dirty. , It is good to apply cosmetics using only one side at each makeup.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of still another embodiment of the cosmetic puff of the present invention. In this embodiment, the shape of the puff is triangular, and the hair-implanted portion 4 is formed at each vertex of the triangle, and the other portion is the cosmetic material penetration preventing portion 2.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of another embodiment of the cosmetic puff of the present invention. In this embodiment, the shape of the puff is a quadrangle, the hair-implanted portions 4 are formed at the two vertexes of the quadrangle, and the other portion is the cosmetic material permeation prevention portion 2.

When applying the cosmetics using the cosmetic puffs shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the cosmetics are prevented from permeating the cosmetics 2 by holding the cosmetics and holding the puffed portions 4 or the edges of the puffs. Lightly spread the cosmetics, and then put your thumb on the part of the cosmetic permeation preventive part 2 without cosmetics or on one of the hair-implanted parts 4, and apply your other finger to the back side to apply the other hair-implanted parts 4 The finish may be extended using.

FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of the cosmetic puff of the present invention.
The puff of this embodiment has a heart shape, the pointed portion 5 of the heart shape is the thumb pressing portion, and the upper two rounded tip portions of the heart shape are the cosmetic penetration preventing portion 2 on one side, The other part is the flocked part 4. The cosmetic material penetration preventing portion 2 and the hair-implanted portion 4 have the same configurations as those in the above-described embodiments. The fan-shaped thumb pressing portion 5 may be the same as the elastic core body 1, or may be the same structure as the cosmetic material penetration preventing portion 2. The same configuration as the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 is preferable because the cosmetic does not permeate into the puff even when the cosmetic permeates from the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 or the flocked portion 4. Further, it is preferable that the cosmetic material penetration preventing portion 2, the hair transplant portion 4 and the thumb pressing portion 5 are made different in color because the appearance is beautiful and it is possible to see by function at a glance.

When using this puff, apply cosmetics to the cosmetic penetration prevention part 2, put your thumb on the thumb pressing part 5, and put other fingers on the back side of the cosmetic penetration prevention part 2 to lightly apply the cosmetics to your face. After spreading, the thumb pressing part 5 is pressed with the thumb, the puff is slightly rotated in the same plane, another finger is attached to the back side of the flocked part 4, and the flocked part 4 may be used for finishing spreading. . In this way, the cosmetic can be applied without having to change the puff greatly, which is convenient, and since the thumb pressing portion 5 is secured, the thumb and other fingers can be used without special care. Don't stain your cosmetics.

Further, when the cosmetic applied to the cosmetic penetration preventing portion 2 moves and adheres to the hair-implanted portion 4 as it is,
A large amount of cosmetic is attached to the hair of the
The hair will fall asleep and the function of spreading the hair will be impaired. However, in the puff shown in FIG. 7, the cosmetic material penetration preventing portion 2 and the flocked portion 4 are separated by the notch 6 in the center of the heart shape, so if the cosmetic material is attached to the rounded portion of the heart shape, The cosmetic applied to the material permeation prevention part 2 is prevented from moving to the hair transplant part 4. Therefore,
Even with a relatively small puff, the hands are not soiled, and the cosmetic material attached to the cosmetic material permeation prevention portion 2 does not transfer to the hair of the flocked portion 4, and anyone can apply the cosmetic material well.

FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a modification of the puff shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the thumb pressing portion 5 is wide, and the cosmetic permeation preventing portion 2 and the hair-implanted portion 4 are each formed into a substantially rounded rounded tip in a heart shape. Therefore, the hair-implanted portion 4 of the cosmetic material attached to the cosmetic-penetration prevention portion 2
Is more reliably prevented from moving to.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the puff has a heart shape and is divided into a cosmetic penetration preventing portion 2 and a hair transplanting portion 4 from the center. In this embodiment, the thumb pressing portion 5 as shown in FIG. 7 is not specially provided, but the thumb is hung on the lower pointed portion of the heart shape, which is explained in the embodiment of FIG. It can be used like a puff.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 10 is a cosmetic puff shaped like two finger cots joined together. A cosmetic permeation preventive portion is adhered onto the elastic core body 1 with an adhesive 3, one finger portion of the elastic core body 1 is the cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2 as it is, and the other finger portion is cosmetic permeation preventive portion 2. The hairs are planted on the upper part, which is the hair transplant part 4. When this makeup puff is used, for example, the index finger and the middle finger may be put in the cosmetic penetration preventing portion 2 and the hair transplant portion 4, respectively, and the cosmetic may be applied.

In the present invention, in the same manner as described in the first embodiment, in the other embodiments as well, instead of the hair being planted, the planting portion 4 is planted.

[Effect of device]

According to the cosmetic puff of the present invention, since the cosmetic permeation preventive portion and the hair transplant portion are provided on one surface of the puff, both can be effectively used when applying the liquid cosmetic, and clean makeup can be achieved. That is, a rough spread of the cosmetic is performed by the cosmetic permeation preventive portion (that is, a rough spread of the cosmetic is lightly spread), and a final spread is performed by the flocking and planting portions, so that the liquid cosmetic is clean and uneven. Can be painted without.

When applying the cosmetic to the skin (face) using the puff, apply the thumb of the hand to the lower part of the surface of the puff to which the cosmetic is applied. Is usually not applied), the three fingers of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are applied to the back surface of the puff, and the latter three fingers press the puff against the skin to spread the cosmetic. If the part that prevents the permeation of cosmetics and the part that has been planted with hair and the part that has been planted are provided separately on the front and back of the puff, it will be necessary to use both the front and back of the puff for rough coating and finish coating. The three fingers being pressed always hit the surface to which the cosmetics are applied, and the hands become dirty. On the other hand, according to the present invention, the cosmetic permeation preventive portion, the flocked hair, and the grained portion are provided on the same surface of the puff, and the cosmetic is not attached to the back surface, so that the cosmetic can be kept clean. Can be applied.

In addition, the cosmetic puff of the present invention has a cosmetic coating on the cosmetic permeation-preventing portion so that the cosmetic is roughly coated, which prevents the cosmetic from penetrating into the interior of the puff. Consumption is prevented.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the liquid cosmetic is first applied to the cosmetic permeation preventive portion and roughly applied, and then the final spreading can be performed at the hair transplanting and the seeding portion, an excess cosmetic product is applied to the hair transplanting and the seeding portion. Does not adhere and the flock does not fall asleep.
