Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a viewer for curling eyelashes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional viewer, the one shown in FIG. 8 is generally used. The burer 31 includes a plate-shaped upper pressing body 33 arranged vertically and a lower pressing body 34 provided below the upper pressing body 33 and provided with an elastic material 34b. The clamping body 33 has a bifurcated support rod 35 at both left and right ends.
The left and right ends of the lower pressing member 34 are guided by a support rod 35 so as to be movable up and down, and are supported by the upper pressing member 33 so as to be movable toward and away from the upper pressing member 33.

The support rod 35 is formed above the first lever 38, a finger ring 42 is formed at the lower end of the first lever 38, and the middle part of the second lever 39 is turned halfway. The upper end of the second lever 39 is connected to the lower clamping body 34 via an interlocking member 40, and a finger ring 43 is formed at the lower end similarly to the first lever. Then, the front surface of the upper clamping body 33 is positioned by contacting the upper eyelid M, and the first and second levers 33 and 34 are rotated in a direction of closing like scissors to move the lower clamping body 34 upward. The lashes m are pushed between the upper and lower pressing members 33 and 34 so as to be curled by being pressed.

[0004]

In the above prior art, the upper and lower pressure members 33, 34 have a shape in which the left and right central portions are curved backward along the shape of the eyelid M, and the left and right end portions are opposed to the central portion. Is projected forward. Therefore, the support rod 35 that supports the left and right ends of the upper and lower pressing bodies 33 and 34 is naturally arranged at the forefront position of the upper and lower pressing bodies 33 and 34.

[0005] However, when the support rod 35 is at the foremost position as described above, the support rod 35 also hits the periphery of the eye when the upper clamping body 33 is applied to the eyelid M (FIG. 8B).
(See (c)), the support rod 35 hinders the eyelashes m from being pinched as desired, making it particularly difficult to curl the eyelashes and the eyelashes near the inner corner of the eye.

[0006] In addition, if the eyelids are thin or the eyes are deeply carved, it is difficult to curl eyelashes not only in the vicinity of the inner corner of the eye but also in the center of the eye.
Unless 5 is pressed strongly, curling cannot be performed, making it difficult to operate. Among the above-mentioned buhlers, there is a buhler for a portion in which the left and right widths of the sandwiching members 33 and 34 are set to about half or 1/3 between the inner and inner corners of the eye to facilitate curling of the eyelashes near the inner and inner corners. However, even when this is used, the same is true in that the support rod 35 hinders, and the support rod 35 separates the curled part and the non-curled part of the eyelashes m to the left and right. It was difficult to shape eyelashes.

In the conventional buhler, the front surface of the upper pressing member 33 which contacts the eyelid and the vertical movement trajectory of the lower pressing member 34 are substantially parallel. When the lower pinching member 34 is moved upward by contacting the eyelid with the eyelid, there is a problem that the distance between the lower pinching member 34 and the eyes becomes short and operation becomes difficult. If the lower pressing body is kept away from the eyes by inclining the upper pressing body 33, the upper pressing body 33 cannot be reliably brought into contact with the eyelid, and positioning becomes difficult.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention enables the support for supporting the upper and lower pressing members for holding the eyelashes to properly curl the eyelashes without hindering the movement of the lower pressing member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a viewer that is farther away and has improved operability.

[0009]

The present invention employs the following technical means to achieve the above object. That is, the viewer according to the present invention includes a pair of upper and lower pressing members 3 and 4, a supporting member 5 that fixes the upper pressing member 3 and guides and supports the lower pressing member 4 so as to be vertically movable. Operating means 6 for vertically moving the side pressing body 4 with respect to the upper pressing body 3 in the up-down direction, and the upper and lower pressing bodies 3 and 4
The upper and lower pressing members 15 and 18 are provided between the upper and lower pressing members 15 and 18, and the upper pressing member 15 has a contact surface 15 a for positioning by contacting the eyelid M.
By disposing at least the left and right end portions of the support members 5 and 18 in front of the support member 5, the support member 5 is disposed at a position retracted from the periphery of the eyes, and the upper clamping member 15 is brought into contact with the support member 5. The surface 15a is inclined rearward and obliquely upward with respect to the vertical movement locus of the lower clamping member 18.

According to this, the contact surface 1 of the upper clamping member 15
5a is applied to the upper eyelid, the upper and lower pressing members 3, 4 are brought close to each other by the operating means 6, and the eyelashes m are sandwiched and pressed by the opposing end surfaces of the upper and lower pressing members 15, 18 to curl upward. At this time, since the left and right ends of the pressing members 15 and 18 are disposed forward of the support 5 and the support 5 is retracted, the support 5 almost hits the periphery of the eyes. In addition, it is possible to prevent the support 5 from hindering curling by the pressing members 15 and 18, and it is possible to preferably curl even eyelashes or eyelashes near the inner corners of the eyes, and to reduce fat in the eyes. It can operate well even for thin people and people with deep eyes.

Further, since the contact surface 15a of the upper clamping member 15 is inclined obliquely upward and rearward with respect to the movement locus of the lower clamping member 18, the contact surface 15a is in contact with the eyelid. When the lower pressing member 18 is moved upward, the lower pressing member 18
Can pass through a position away from the eyes, which facilitates operation. As described above, the structure in which the upper and lower pressing members 15 and 18 are disposed in front of the support 5 includes the pressing members 3 and 4.
Are composed of the pressing members 15 and 18 for holding the eyelashes m, and supported members 16 and 19 projecting rearward from the left and right ends of the pressing members 15 and 18 and supported by the support 5. This enables a very simple structure.

Further, when the pressing members 3 and 4 are integrally formed by bending the pressing members 15 and 18 and the supported members 16 and 19, the pressing members 3 and 4 can be formed by simple processing.
4 can be manufactured. In this case, the upper clamping body 3
Notch 1 cut out upward at the lower edge of supported member 16
When 6a is formed, the lashes that curl upwards,
It hardly comes into contact with the supported member 16 and is suitable for forming eyelashes in a desired shape.

As another configuration in which the upper pressing body 3 is disposed in front of the support 5, the upper pressing body 3 is composed of an upper pressing member 15 for holding the eyelashes m, and the support 5 is provided in the front. A protruding member 20 that protrudes from and supports the upper clamping member 15, and the rear surface of the upper clamping member 15 can be fixed to the front end of the protruding member 20. Can have a simple structure.

Further, by forming the projecting member 20 by bending the upper end of the support 5, the projecting member 20 can be formed by simple processing. Conventionally known various means can be used as the operation means 6, and a first lever 8 having the support 5, a second lever 9 pivotally supported on the first lever 8, and It is preferable that the lower holding member 4 and the second lever 9 be constituted by an interlocking member 10 that interlocks with the second lever 9.

The lower clamping body 4 is supported by the support rod 5 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. As described above, the upper and lower pressure members 3 and 4 are provided with the upper and lower supported members 16 and 19, so that the left and right ends of the upper and lower pressure members 15 and 18 are disposed at the front position with respect to the support rod 5. Is available.

The longitudinal length t of the upper supported member 16 of the upper clamping body 3 is about 3 mm to 8 mm (preferably about 5 mm).
The lower supported member 19 of the lower holding member 4 is formed in accordance with the upper supported member 16. Also, the upper and lower pressure members 15, 1
The left-right width of 8 substantially corresponds to the interval between the inner edge and the inner corner of the eye. In addition, about the front-back length t of the upper supported member 16,
The dimensions are not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate. The lower supported member 19 can also be changed accordingly.

The front surface of the upper clamping member 15 is a contact surface 15a to the eyelid, and the contact surface 15a is
8 is inclined rearward and obliquely upward with respect to the vertical movement trajectory 8. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the contact surface 15a of the upper clamping member 15 abuts on the eyelid M, the support rod 5 tilts forward, the lower clamping member 18 moves away from the eye, and the path away from the eye. To move up and down. Thus, even in a state where the contact surface 15a of the upper clamping member 15 is securely brought into contact with the eyelid M and positioned, the lower clamping member 18 does not become too close to the eyes and is easy to operate.

The lower pressing member 18 of the contact surface 15a
Is preferably 5 ° to 15 ° with respect to the movement trajectory, but may be more or less than this range. The left and right central portions of the upper and lower pressure members 15 and 18 may be located at a position forward of the support rod 5 or at a position retracted from the support rod 5, although they differ depending on the radius of curvature.

Further, the above-mentioned buhler 1 comprises a pressing member 1.
Various types of 5, 18 having different radii of curvature are prepared so that the user can select a viewer 1 that suits the user according to the thickness of the eyelids, the depth of the carving, and the like. In the above configuration, in order to curl the eyelashes, the fingers are inserted through the finger rings 12 and 13 of the first and second levers 8 and 9 and held, and the front surface (the contact surface) of the upper pressing member 15 of the upper pressing member 3 is held. ) 1

According to this, similarly to the buhler shown in the above-described embodiment, the contact surface 33a of the upper pressing member 33 with the eyelid is inclined rearward and obliquely upward with respect to the vertical movement locus of the lower pressing member 34,
This is advantageous in that it can be operated in a state where the lower pinching member 34 is kept away from the eyes, but it is useful in that the support rod 35 (particularly near the left and right ends of the upper pinching member 33) abuts on the periphery of the eyes. It is difficult.

[0037]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention,
Since at least the left and right ends of the upper and lower pressing members of the upper and lower pressing members are disposed in front of the supporting member that supports the upper and lower pressing members and the support is retracted, the supporting members hit the periphery of the eyes. There is almost no hindrance to curl,
Even if the eyelashes are near the eyelashes or the inner corners of the eye, the pinching member can securely pinch the eyelashes and appropriately curl them. Can operate. Also, since the contact surface of the upper clamping member with the eyelid is inclined obliquely upward and rearward with respect to the vertical movement trajectory of the lower clamping member, when the contact surface is applied to the eyelid, Since the pressure member moves away from the eyes and moves along a locus away from the eyes, there is no need to incline the entire viewer and move the lower clamping member away from the eyes, which facilitates the operation.
