Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disposable puff to which powder cosmetics are attached.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, disposable puffs that can be easily carried when going out or the like and that can be distributed as a sample of a new product have been circulating. As such a disposable puff, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-15006 proposes an applicator in which a powder cosmetic is adhered to the surface of a foam such as a sponge.

[0003]

However, in this case, since the powder cosmetic is adhered to the surface of the foam, only a small amount of the powder cosmetic corresponding to a single use amount is adhered to the puff. You have to carry a few puffs when you go out. Moreover, when the powder cosmetic is attached to the foam, the powder cosmetic also adheres to the inside of the pores of the foam, so that the required amount (the amount to be attached to the surface of the foam) of the powder cosmetic is required. The use amount of powdered cosmetics increases and the price increases.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is only necessary to carry one puff when going out, etc.
An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive disposable puff that can be used multiple times.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a disposable puff according to the present invention comprises a flexible puff main body and a flocking layer formed on the surface of the puff main body. The configuration is such that powder cosmetics are attached to the layer.

That is, in the disposable puff of the present invention, since the powder cosmetic is adhered to the flocking layer formed on the surface of the puff main body, the surface area to which the powder cosmetic can be adhered is a conventional example (the puff main body). (The surface of which powder cosmetics adhere to the surface), and a large amount of powder cosmetics can be adhered. Therefore, the amount of powder cosmetics corresponding to the usage amount of 2 to 3 times can be adhered to the puff, and it can be used for 2 to 3 times just by carrying one puff when going out. Become like Moreover, as described above, since the powder cosmetic is adhered to the flocking layer, the powder cosmetic hardly adheres to the puff body. Therefore, even when the foam is used for the puff body, the powder cosmetic does not adhere to the pores of the foam, and only the required amount (the amount to be adhered to the flocked layer) of the powder cosmetic needs to be used. , Will be cheaper.

In the present invention, when the flocking layer is composed of a large number of fibrous bodies, and the fibrous bodies are adhered to the adhesive layer formed on the surface of the puff body in an upright state, the flocking is performed. , The fibrous body is not complicatedly entangled,
The work of attaching the powder cosmetic to the puff body becomes easy.

The present invention will be described in detail.

[0009] The disposable puff of the present invention comprises:
It consists of a flocking layer.

The puff body is made of a flexible and resilient foam such as a synthetic resin such as polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl chloride and polyurethane, and a synthetic rubber such as acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and ethylene polybrene rubber. An elastic body made of an elastic material is used, or an elastic body made of a soft and elastic non-foamable material such as silicone rubber is used.

The flocked layer is composed of a large number of fibrous bodies (thickness of 0.
5 to 2 denier, preferably 1 to 1.52 denier,
And artificial fibers such as polyamide, polyethylene, and polyacrylate having a length of 0.4 to 1 mm, and short fibers made of natural fibers such as cotton. Such a flocking layer is usually formed by applying an adhesive to the surface (entire or partial) of the puff main body and applying static electricity to the surface (entire or partial) of the adhesive layer (with the adhesive layer). It is formed by bonding and flocking the fibrous body in an upright state (by applying static electricity between short fibers).

As the adhesive, an emulsion adhesive such as an acrylic ester emulsion or a resin adhesive such as a vinyl acetate resin is used.

As a method of adhering the powder cosmetic to the flocking layer, a mud is prepared by mixing the powder cosmetic and a volatile organic solvent into a mud, and the mud is then adhered to the flocking layer. And a method of drying.

As the above-mentioned powder cosmetics, there are used those generally called makeup cosmetics, such as foundation, eye shadow, blusher, lipstick and the like.

As the volatile organic solvent, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol,
Solvents such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, low-boiling hydrocarbons, and fluorinated hydrocarbons are used. As the above-mentioned fluorinated hydrocarbon, trichlorotrifluoroethane (boiling point 47.6)
° C), dichloromethane (boiling point 39.8 ° C), trichloromonofluoromethane (boiling point 23.8 ° C), tetrachlorodifluoroethane (boiling point 92.8 ° C), etc., and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Used as a mixed solvent. When preparing the above-mentioned muddy material, the mixing ratio of the powder cosmetic and the volatile organic solvent is selected in the range of 3: 7 to 5: 5.

As a method of adhering the mud to the flocking layer, methods such as dipping, spraying, dripping, and coating are used.
For immersion, after pouring the mud in the saucer in advance,
The flocking layer is immersed in this mud. Alternatively, after the puff main body provided with the flocking layer is placed in the tray, mud may be poured into the tray. The spraying is performed by spraying a muddy material on the flocking layer using a sprayer. Dropping is performed by using a dropper, sucking a muddy substance into the dropper, and then dropping the dropper on the flocking layer. Application is
After the mud is attached to the brush or the like using a brush or the like, the mud is directly applied to the flocking layer.
