Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention consists of a device for applying an eyelash curler,
This invention relates to an improvement of a so-called eyelash curler.

A conventional eyelash curler has a pair of handle bodies 1,
2 and its annular parts 1a, 2a are integrally constructed of metal wire, and even in the position where the spread of the handle part is minimized (i.e., the position where the curler part is closed), the distance W between the outer edges of the annular parts 1a, 2a of the handle part is the same. ₁ (first
(Fig.) is large, and the curler part 3 has a distance between its outer edges in a plane perpendicular to the plane including the handle part.
W ₂ (Figure 2) occupies a large space. Therefore, a packaging box or a portable container for accommodating the eyelash curler is a rectangular parallelepiped with a cross-sectional area of W ₁ ×W ₂ and a length equal to the length L of the eyelash curler. As a result, the product occupies a large amount of space during storage and transportation, resulting in uneconomic results. Moreover, when the user carries it around, it is inconvenient as it is a so-called bulky device, which prevents it from being easily carried.

Furthermore, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-25954 discloses a handle body in which the handle body can be bent near the pivot point, but in this publication, since the handle body is bent outward, the distance W between the outer ends of the finger rests is ₁ remains almost unchanged, and the size of W ₁ ×W ₂ (width of the curled eyelash portion) does not change much. For this reason,
When placed in a bag or the like, the thickness cannot be reduced and the product remains bulky. Furthermore, when transporting for export, etc., it must be placed in a nearly cubic box. Moreover, in order to stretch the folded part and curl the eyelashes, the folded part must have a sophisticated structure, which complicates the structure, increases the manufacturing process, and causes many failures.
The cost will also be higher.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages of the eyelash curler, make it economical to transport and store, and make it convenient for users to carry, thereby promoting demand.

To explain the structure of the present invention with reference to an embodiment, in FIG. 3, a pair of rod-shaped handle bodies 4 and 5 of an eyelash curler are provided with separate finger ring bodies 11 and 12 whose inner diameters are larger than those of the rod-shaped handle bodies 4 and 5. Slightly larger tubular parts 7 and 8 are rotatably fitted. Therefore, the lower end portion of each rod-shaped handle body 4, 5 has a bent portion 13,
14 is formed to prevent the finger rings 11, 12 from falling off and to prevent the finger rings 11, 12 from falling off from the handle bodies 4, 5. Partly cut out part 9,1
Set to 0.

FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional plan view along the line of FIG. Tubular parts 7, 8 in the above embodiment
Although shown as being embedded in the finger rings 11 and 12, it goes without saying that this may be omitted and the tubular holes may be formed directly in the finger rings 11 and 12.

To explain the effect of the present invention with respect to the above embodiment, the finger rings 11 and 12 are used by inserting the thumb and index finger into the finger rings 11 and 12, respectively, in the state shown in FIG. Main body 4, 5
Move it upward in directions A' and B', and then move it approximately clockwise or counterclockwise around the main bodies 4 and 5.
When rotated 180 degrees, each finger ring 11, 12
The spreading width W is approximately 1/3 of the conventional spreading width _W1 .

Instead of the notches 9, 10, etc. of the finger rings 11, 12, holes 16, 1 that fit into the bent portions 13, 14 are provided.
7 may be provided.

As described above, in the present invention, the finger hook part is formed separately from the rod-shaped handle body having an eyelash curl part at the tip, and the finger hook part is attached to the handle body so as to be rotatable about the handle body as an axis. It is inserted so that it can be moved in any direction, and the base end of the handle body is bent to form a retainer that also serves as a rotation stopper that stops the rotation of the finger rest and prevents the finger rest from coming off. When the handle body is pulled toward the proximal end with the handle facing in the opposite direction, it engages with the retainer and is prevented from coming off, and rotation is stopped. When the finger hook is pushed up toward the distal end of the handle body, the handle Since it can be rotated inward against the other hand, it is convenient to put it in a handbag or the like, and it is also suitable to put it in a case for transportation such as exporting, and it is also easy to manufacture and can be made at low cost.

In other words, the finger hook is fitted so as to be rotatable around the handle body, and the finger hook can be rotated inward relative to the handle body, so that the width W ₁ of the handle is
can be reduced to about half. Moreover, the width (approximately W1/2) when the handle part is turned inward is the width that the bar-shaped handle must necessarily be open for eyelash curling work, and W ₁ is the minimum width of the handle part. It can be width.

And the width of the eyelash curl part of the eyelash curler
W ₂ is a width that cannot be made smaller, but we were able to reduce the width of the handle part W ₁ by about half, making it possible to store the eyelash curler in a thinner overall shape, and to reduce thickness such as bumps. It has become very convenient to carry around in things you don't have.

Moreover, since the entire eyelash curler has become thinner, it can be easily packaged without having to be packaged in a nearly cubic box as in the past, allowing it to be carried around or exported in a long, thin bag. It is.

Further, the finger hook is formed separately from the rod-shaped handle body having an eyelash curl portion at the tip, and the finger hook is fitted into the handle body in the axial direction, and the base end of the handle body is bent. Since it is designed to prevent it from coming off, the production process is extremely simple, as it can be made by making the finger hook separately, inserting it into the rod-shaped handle body, and then bending the base end of the handle body. It can be manufactured easily and is suitable for mass production, and furthermore, since the finger rest is inserted into the handle body, the handle body is reinforced.

Furthermore, the finger hook is rotatably and axially movably fitted into the handle body, and is engaged with the retainer when pulled toward the proximal end of the handle body with the finger hook facing outward. When the finger hook is pushed up toward the tip of the handle body, it can be rotated inward relative to the handle body, so when using the eyelash curler, the handle Simply turn the eyelash curler outward and then pull it toward the base of the handle. To store the eyelash curler, all you have to do is push up the handle and turn it inward, making it quick and easy. It can be put into a used state or a stored state.

As described above, the present invention has extremely excellent effects as an eyelash curler.
