Description

MASCARA PACKAGE WITHHEATING BODY

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a mascara package with a heating body which can shape eyelashes while applying liquid mascara. Background Art

[2] Women apply various colors of liquid mascara on their eyelashes in order to make their eyes look better. A general mascara package is composed of a container for containing liquid mascara, a handle which is held by hand so as to open and close the container, a stick-like brush rod which projects from the lower portion of the handle, and a coating section which is formed on the lower end of the brush rod. When the handle and the container are coupled to and separated from each other, liquid mascara is held by the coating section so as to be applied on eyelashes.

[3] Depending on the length and shape of a brush of the coating section for coating liquid mascara on eyelashes, there are provided various effects such as a volume effect, a curl effect, a long-lash effect, a clean effect and the like. The volume effect is to make eyelashes look full, the curl effect is to make the ends of eyelashes curled upward, the long-lash effect is to make eyelashes look long, and the clean effect is to prevent eyelashes from being massed. Therefore, the coating section is manufactured in various shapes. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[4] As such, liquid mascara is applied on eyelashes by using the coating section, in order to shape a desired eyelash pattern. However, it is inconvenient for a user who is not familiar with the use, and it takes a long time to put on an eyelash make-up.

[5] Further, when liquid mascara applied on eyelashes can drop down with sweats or tears after make-up, it could rather reduce a beauty effect, or the running liquid mascara can stimulate eyes, which is not good for the eyes.

[6] Recently, curling tongs are used for preventing such problems and completing an eyelash make-up for a short time.

[7] That is, eyelashes are previously shaped into a desired pattern by using the curling tongs and are then coated with liquid mascara. Therefore, it is possible to quickly complete an eyelash make-up without the liquid mascara spreading around eyes.

[8] However, it could take a longer time for a user who is not accustomed to the use of curling tongs.

[9] Further, the curling tongs are not provided with liquid mascara which is necessary for an eyelash make-up. Therefore, the curling tongs and a mascara package need to be carried on a trip or going-out, respectively. [10] In order to solve such a problem, Korean Utility Model Registration Publication

No. 397146 has disclosed an eyelash shaper in which curling tongs and a mascara package are integrally formed. [11] The eyelash shaper, in which curling tongs and a mascara package are integrally formed, has an advantage in the portability. However, since liquid mascara should be applied after eyelashes are curled one time by the curling tongs, the mascara package and the curling tongs should be alternately used in order to make an eyelash make-up. [12] Further, in the eyelash shaper, liquid mascara can harden when the mascara is not used for a long time or when it is stored at low temperature. In this case, when the liquid mascara is applied on eyelashes, it can be massed.

Technical Solution [13] An advantage of the present invention is that it provides a mascara package with a heating body which can shape eyelashes while applying liquid mascara. [14] Another advantage of the invention is that it provides a mascara package with a heating body which is provided with a tongs-like shaping member. Therefore, it is possible to easily shape eyelashes.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention [63] Hereinafter, a mascara package with a heating body according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, and like reference numerals will be attached to the same components over the entire specification. [64] Fig. 1 is a perspective view schematically illustrating the structure of a mascara package with a heating body according to a first embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view illustrating the structure of the mascara package according to the first embodiment, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a battery and a support plate of the mascara package according to the first embodiment.

[65] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the mascara package 100 with a heating body includes a handle 11 which is held by a user's hand, a brush rod 23 projecting from the lower portion of the handle 11, a heat-emission coating section 27 formed in the lower portion of the brush rod 23, and a container 31 in which liquid mascara is contained.

[66] The handle 11 has a battery 12 mounted therein so as to supply power and a switch

17 mounted thereon so as to control the supply of power applied from the battery 12. Further, the handle 11 has a female screw portion 22 which is formed inside the lower portion thereof and is coupled to the container 31 for containing liquid mascara.

[67] The battery 12 mounted in the handle 11 supplies power for heating a heating body

25 formed inside the brush rod 23.

[68] As for the battery 12, a consumable battery such as an alkali battery or silver oxide cell is preferably used. In this case, when such a consumable battery is used, the volume of the mascara package 100 can be reduced, which makes it easy to carry the mascara package.

[69] The handle 11 has the support plate 15 formed therein, the support plate 15 extending so as to project through the lower portion of the handle 11.

[70] On one side of the support plate 15, the switch 17 is formed so as to control the supply of power applied from the battery 12. On the other side thereof, a U-shaped support 16 is formed so as to support the support plate 15.

[71] The plus terminal of the battery 12 is connected to a plus ground terminal formed on the one side of the support plate 15, and the minus terminal of the battery 12 is connected to a minus ground terminal 14 extending from a minus connection terminal 20 formed so as to penetrate through the support plate 15.

[72] The switch 17 has a switch terminal 18 formed in the lower portion of the switch

17. As the switch 17 is moved, the power supply from the battery 12 is turned on and off.

[73] When the switch 17 is moved in the direction of the battery 12, one end of the switch terminal 18 is connected to the minus connection terminal, and the other end thereof is separated from a plus connection terminal 19 formed on the one side of the support plate 15. Then, the power supply is cut off.

[74] When the switch 17 is moved in the direction of the brush rod 23, the one end of the switch terminal 18 is connected to the minus connection terminal, and the other end thereof is connected to the plus connection terminal 19. Then, power is supplied to the heating body 25. [75] Further, when the switch 17 is turned on, an indicating section 21 connected to the plus connection terminal 19 emits light so as to indicate the power supply to a user, the indicating section 21 being formed in the vicinity of the switch 17. The indicating section 21 can be composed of a light-emitting diode. [76] The plus ground terminal 13 and the minus connection terminal 19 are formed on the support plate 15 and are electrically connected to each other by a heating body connection portion 26 for electrically connecting the switch 17 and the heating body

25. [77] The brush rod 23 is formed in the lower end of the handle 11 and has such a length that the brush rod 23 can be inserted into the container 31 so as to coat liquid mascara.

The brush rod 23 is formed in a stick or rod shape which has a smaller diameter than the opening 32 of the container 31 such that the brush rod 23 can be easily put into and drawn from the container 31. [78] The brush rod 23 has the heating body 25 built therein, the heating body 25 receiving power from the battery 12 so as to emit heat. [79] The heating body 25 includes a support portion 25 formed in the center thereof and is formed so as to wrap the support portion 24 in a coil shape. When the switch is turned on, the heating body 25 is electrically connected to the switch 17 and the battery

12 through the heating body connection portion 26 so as to receive power from the battery 12. [80] Then, the coil-shaped heating body 25 emits heat due to resistance to the applied electric current. At this time, the heating body 25 emits heat in the temperature range of 40 to 50 C. [81] The support portion 24 formed in the center of the heating body 25 is heated by the heat generated from the heating body 25, and the heat is transmitted to the heat- emission coating section 27. [82] The support portion 24 is formed separately from the support plate 15 and can be formed of a thermally-conductive material which rapidly transmits heat, which makes it possible to reduce a time required for heating. [83] Therefore, the support portion 24 can be formed integrally with or separately from the support plate 15. [84] The heat-emission coating section 27, formed in the end of the brush rod 23, has a coating shaft 28 which is formed in the center thereof and is coupled to the support portion 24 formed inside the brush rod 23. [85] The heat-emission coating section 27 has a brush 29 and a comb 30 formed on the outer periphery around the coating shaft 28 and receives heat from the support portion

24 and the heating body 25 so as to emit heat. [86] When the switch 17 is turned on, the coating shaft 28 of the heat-emission coating section 27 receives the heat generated by the heated support portion 24 and the heating body 25, thereby emitting heat.

[87] The comb 30 formed on the outer periphery of the coating shaft 28 is heated by the heat of the heated coating shaft 28 so as to emit heat.

[88] When a user using the mascara package 100 shapes her eyelashes by using the heated comb 30, the user can easily shape her eyelashes in a desired shape, such as curled lashes, long lashes and the like, through the heat of the comb 30.

[89] When liquid mascara contained in the container is not used for a long time or is stored at low temperature, it is highly likely that the liquid mascara hardens. In this case, the liquid mascara can be melted by using the heated coating shaft 28 and the heated comb 30. Therefore, it is very economically advantageous.

[90] Meanwhile, the coating shaft 28 is formed separately from the brush rod 23 such that a user can couple a heat-emission coating section 27 formed in a desired shape to the coating shaft 28, which means it is very functionally advantageous. Therefore, the coating shaft 28 can be formed integrally with or separately from the brush rod 23.

[91] Preferably, the coating shaft 28 and the comb 30 are formed of a thermally- conductive material which rapidly transmits heat generated by the heating body 25.

[92] The container 31 contains liquid mascara which is applied on eyelashes and has the opening 32 and a male screw portion 33 to be coupled to the handle 11. The opening 32 has such a predetermined diameter that the brush rod 32 can be easily inserted into and drawn out of the opening 32.

[93] The container 31 for containing liquid mascara can be separated from the handle 11 and can be individually sold. Consumers can buy various colors of liquid mascara for point make-up as well as black liquid mascara which is usually used.

[94] A method of putting on a make-up by using the mascara package 100 with a heating body having such a structure is as follows. First, when the switch 17 is moved in the direction of the brush rod 23 so as to be turned on, the heating body 25 receives power from the battery 12 so as to emit heat, and the support portion 24, the coating shaft 28 of the heat-emission coating section 27, and the comb 30 sequentially receives the heat generated from the heating body 25 so as to emit heat.

[95] Then, a user shapes her eyelashes in a desired shape by using the heated comb 30 and applies liquid mascara on the eyelashes by using the brush 29 so as to shape the eyelashes in a desired shape.

[96] Therefore, when the brush 29 and the comb 30 of the mascara package are used at the same time, a user can shape her eyelashes in various shapes having such effects as a volume effect, a curl effect, a long-lash effect, a clean effect and the like. Further, liquid mascara, which hardens when it is not used for a long time, can be melted so as to be used. Therefore, the liquid mascara can be used more economically. [97] Fig. 22 is a perspective view illustrating a modified example of the battery according to the invention. As shown in Fig. 22, the mascara package 100 having a charging battery as the battery 12 is held in a free holder 40 such that it can be charged before and after make-up. In this case, it is more economically advantageous than when a consumable battery is used.

[98] Accordingly, the battery 12 can be composed of a consumable battery or a charging battery.

[99] Now, the types of the heat-emission coating section 27 which can be applied to the invention will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 4 to 12.

[100] First Modification of First Embodiment

[101] Fig. 4 is a bottom view illustrating the structure of a heat-emission coating section according to a first modification of a first embodiment of the invention, and Figs. 5 and 6 are sectional views illustrating the structure thereof.

[102] As shown in Fig. 4, the heat-emission coating section 27 according to the first embodiment of the invention includes the brush 29 and the comb 30 which are implanted in a hemispherical shape around the coating shaft 28 formed in the lower end of the brush rod 23. When the switch 17 is turned on so that the heating body 25 emits heat, the coating shaft 28 is heated by the heat generated by the heating body 25. Then, the comb 30 is heated by the heated coating shaft 28.

[103] When a user applies liquid mascara on her eyelashes by using the brush 29 after shaping the eyelashes in a desired shape by using the heated comb 30, the liquid mascara is rapidly dried so as not to drop down. Therefore, it is possible to prevent liquid mascara from spreading or running with sweats or tears.

[104] When the heated comb 30 is used, the liquid mascara can be closely adhered on the eyelashes due to the heat, and various effects such as a curl effect, a long-lash effect and the like can be applied on the eyelashes.

[105] As shown in Fig. 5, the brush 29 and the comb 30 of the heat-emission coating section 27 are respectively implanted at the same height such that the ends of the brush 29 and the comb 30 form a flat surface. The lower portions of the brush 29 and the comb 30 are gradually shortened so that the heat-emission coating section can be easily inserted into and drawn out of the opening 32 of the container 31.

[106] Fig. 6 illustrates a modification of the heat-emission coating section 27 shown in

Fig. 5. In this case, the length of the comb 30 is not varied, but the brush 29 is implanted at various heights. In other words, the brush 29 is gradually shortened toward the middle thereof and is then gradually lengthened toward the lower end thereof, which can make it possible to give a volume effect on short eyelashes.

[107] Preferably, the comb 30 is formed of a thermally-conductive material in order to rapidly receive heat generated by the heating body 25. [108] Although not shown, the brush 29 and the comb 30 of the heat-emission coating section 27 can be implanted on portions of the outer periphery around the coating shaft 28.

[109] Second Modification of First Embodiment

[110] Fig. 7 is a bottom view illustrating the structure of a heat-emission coating section according to a second modification of the first embodiment of the invention, and Figs. 8 and 9 are sectional views illustrating the structure thereof.

[Ill] As shown in Fig. 7, the heat-emission coating section 27 includes only the brush 29 implanted around the coating shaft 28.

[112] The coating shaft 28 is heated by the heat transmitted from the heating body 25.

When liquid mascara is applied on eyelashes by using the brush 29, the eyelashes are shaped and dried by the heated coating shaft 28. Therefore, the same effect as the comb 30 of the first embodiment can be obtained.

[113] As shown in Fig. 8, the brush 29 is implanted at the same height such that the ends of the brush 29 form a flat surface. The lower portions of the brush 29 are gradually shortened so that the heat-emission coating section can be easily inserted into and drawn out of the opening 32 of the container 31.

[114] As shown in Fig. 9, the brush 29 is implanted at various heights. In other words, the brush 29 is gradually shortened toward the middle thereof and is then gradually lengthened toward the lower end thereof. Therefore, liquid mascara can be effectively coated on short eyelashes, and simultaneously, such effects as a curl effect and a long lash effect can be applied by using the coating shaft 28.

[115] Third Modification of First Embodiment

[116] Fig. 10 is a bottom view illustrating the structure of a heat-emission coating section according to a third modification of the first embodiment of the invention, and Figs. 11 and 12 are sectional views illustrating the structure thereof.

[117] As shown in Fig. 10, the heat-emission coating section 27 includes a plurality of combs 30, which are implanted at even intervals around the coating shaft 28, and a plurality of brushes 29 which are implanted between the respective combs 30. When liquid mascara is applied on eyelashes by using the heat-emission coating section 27, the eyelashes are easily shaped by the combs 30, and simultaneously, the liquid mascara can be applied on the eyelashes by using the brushes 29.

[118] As shown in Figs. 11 and 12, the brushes 29 are implanted at the same height such that the ends of the brush 29 form a flat surface. Alternately, the brushes 29 can be implanted at various heights. In other words, the brushes 29 are gradually shortened toward the middles thereof and are then gradually lengthened toward the lower ends thereof.

[119] Preferably, the combs 30 are formed of a thermally-conductive material in order to rapidly receive heat generated by the heating body 25.

[120] The shapes of the brushes 29 of Figs. 6, 9, and 12, which are shortened toward the middles thereof and are then lengthened toward the ends thereof, have been exemplified for convenience of description. Further, the lengths of the brushes 29 are not limited thereto but can be varied.

[121] The types of the heat-emission coating section 27 are not limited to the first to third modifications of the first embodiment. Further, all replaceable brushes can be provided depending on users' tastes.

[122] Hereinafter, a mascara package with a heating body according to a second embodiment of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[126] The handle 211 has a battery 212 mounted therein, the battery 212 supplying power. Further, the handle 211 includes a switch 217 and the moving member 222 installed thereon. The switch 217 controls the supply of power applied from the battery 212, and the moving member 222 is transferred upward and downward.

[127] Inside the handle 211, a support plate 215 is formed so as to extend along the inside of the brush rod 225.

[128] The moving member 222 is formed in a portion corresponding to the switch 217.

Between the lower end of the handle 211 and the moving member, a first elastic member 223 is mounted to provide an elastic force such that the moving member 222 is transferred upward and downward.

[129] On the surface of the moving member 222, which comes in contact with the first elastic member 223, a transfer member 226 is formed. The transfer member 226 is connected to the moving member 222 and is transferred upward and downward by the operation of the moving member 222. [130] The transfer plate 226 has a hollow portion in which the support member 215 extends. On the support plate 215, a heating body connection portion 227 is formed so as to provide power from the battery 212 to the heating body 233 which is coupled to the shaping member 230 so as to emit heat.

[131] The shaping member 230 formed like tongs is coupled to the front end of the transfer member 226. Further, the shaping member 230 is opened and closed by the transfer member 226, which is transferred by the movement of the moving member 222, so as to pick up the eyelashes of a user. Therefore, it is possible to easily shape eyelashes.

[132] Hereinafter, the types of a shaping member, which can be applied to the second embodiment of the invention, will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
