Description

Applicator

The present invention particularly relates to a French nail (applying a coating solution to the front end of a nail) in the nail art field where nail art is applied around the toe, which is associated with makeup of the fingertips of the hand. The present invention relates to an applicator that can be applied with a constant width following the shape of the front end of the nail and can draw a line without depending on the dominant hand or experience, for the purpose of easily and accurately applying the liquid from the end to the front end.

An example of an applicator that takes out the application liquid in the container with an application body and applies it to a target location is a nail polish product that applies a nail polish liquid.

For French manicure, a nail polish is applied around the toes that comes with the makeup of the fingertips.

This French nail is a general example when applied to the nail by an individual. The base solution is applied to the entire surface of the nail immediately before applying the French nail, and after the French nail is applied, a protective coating solution is further applied. . Since many processes are required, there is a demand for a coating method that finishes as cleanly and simply as possible.

Conventionally, generally known methods for applying French nail can be classified into the following four types.

1. Apply with a brush or pen nib.
This is the most common method for applying French nail, and the application operation is performed on the front end of the nail with the same application part (brush or pen core) as the base liquid. At that time, a special sheet having a French nail portion shape or a fixing tool that fixes a finger to facilitate application may be used (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-59035: Patent Document 1).

2. Apply with a specially shaped brush.
This exclusive brush has a brush shape that simulates the round shape of the nail, and the front direction has a U-shape that simulates the front surface of the nail. A French nail operation can be performed by applying it to the nail as it is in the shape of a dedicated brush (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-8826: Patent Document 2).

3. Apply the shaped pen core to the nail.
By pressing and fixing the approximately key-shaped application part (fiber pen core) to the front end of the nail and moving the application part directly to the left and right instead of the guide, the French nail operation can be performed regardless of the dominant hand (for example, JP, 2006-204332, A: Refer to patent documents 3).

4). Affix a shaped seal.
Without using the liquid, a French nail operation can be performed by grasping a thin seal with tweezers or the like and sticking it to the toe (see, for example, JP-A-2006-296620: Patent Document 4).

JP 2004-59035 A JP 2004-8826 A JP 2006-204332 A JP 2006-296620 A

However, the applicator disclosed in Patent Document 1 applies the front end of the nail with a brush or pen core in a normal freehand, but because it is a freehand, its experience and technology are very involved, Among them, positioning was not stable and application was difficult. In addition, even if experience and technology improved, the finish itself was often not satisfactory.

Also, the applicator disclosed in Patent Document 2 is difficult to determine the position to the application destination as described above, and it takes time to learn. The same applies to the application to the dominant hand. Since the brush shape is also fixed in a round shape, it is not suitable for flat toes. Furthermore, since the U-shaped in a plan view, the coating solution hangs down and the coating solution at the center of the nail tends to become thin.

In addition, the applicator disclosed in Patent Document 3 can stably apply to the nails of the left and right hands without affecting the dominant hand, but the position is fixed by pressing against the toes, but if the pressing is strong, the position is fixed. There were many deviations. In particular, at the end of the nail, the application part tends to be partially detached from the fixed part and dirty the nail. Further, since the pen core is pressed against the toe every time it is used, there is a problem in maintaining the pen core shape (durability).

In addition, the applicator disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a tendency to deviate in appearance because the seal is peeled off from the mount with tweezers or the like and set in the vertical and horizontal directions. Therefore, it took time to learn. Further, if the sealing surface is soiled, there is a problem that the adhesion is weakened and easily peeled off. In addition, a thickness step of the seal inevitably occurs between the nail and the seal, which is uncomfortable. Furthermore, it is very fragile compared to the nails, so it is easily damaged and inferior in durability. Although it was a seal, it was expensive.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and can easily and quickly draw a stable line and take a line parallel to the front end of the nail regardless of the person's experience and skill. Thus, an object of the present invention is to provide an applicator that can be prepared and applied in a short time regardless of the curved surface of the nail, that is, satisfying the finish of an individual French nail operation. It is another object of the present invention to provide an applicator that is low in cost and can avoid soiling the nails.

The present invention provides an applicator that allows the application liquid to be applied to an object by contacting the application portion of the application body impregnated with the application liquid.

An applicator characterized in that application is possible.

In the present invention, it can be applied easily and stably. Further, by forming the application surface of the application part on, for example, a U-shaped inner surface, a nail can be inserted, and a stable line can be obtained simply by moving the application part in the direction in which the nail is desired to be applied.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the application body to be applied to the object is a fiber body processed with fibers and resin.

Further, in the present invention, the application body has a flat application surface formed along the axial direction of the application body at a front end, and the application liquid is applied to the toe by the application surface through the slit. It is preferable that the applicator is a French nail applicator configured so that it can be applied.
Therefore, the nail shape can be positioned by processing a U-shape that is the limit of nail entry into the fiber body that is the application body and inserting the nail tip to the limit of entry. As a result, the application part and the nail are fixed, and the tip of the nail serving as the application surface hits the application part of the application body, the liquid is applied, and a stable line can be obtained simply by moving the application part or the nail in the desired direction.

Also, the width of application to the toe can be changed by changing the depth of the U-shaped dent at the front end of the application body.

Also, by changing the U-shaped width at the front end of the coated body, the width can be made appropriate regardless of the thickness of the toe.

In addition, the upper and lower surfaces of the U-shape at the front end of the application body are straight lines (the surface itself is a flat surface) or a curve of R10 or more (the cross section is a flat surface) when viewed from the front of the application surface, and there is a difference in curved surface between each finger. However, it can be applied smoothly.

In the present invention, the application body has a flat application surface formed along the axial direction of the application body at a front end portion, and a coating liquid is applied to the toe tip by passing the toe through the slit of the application cover. The applicator for French nail is preferably configured to be able to be applied with a width.

In this way, the application cover is processed with a hole into which the application body can be inserted from the back so as to cover the application body, and the front end is provided with a slit, and by inserting the application body, By applying a cover so that a part of the coated body is exposed from the slit, the coated surface of the coated body is exposed from the top surface of the slit of the coated cover and can be applied to the coated surface on that surface. Become. Further, the exposed surface and the lower surface of the coating cover can be formed so as to have a sufficient gap for inserting a nail.

Also, the slit shape of the coating cover is a flat surface or a curve of R10 or more when viewed from the front direction, and even if there is a difference in curved surface between fingers, it can be applied smoothly.

Also, by changing the slit depth (depth) of the application cover, the entry limit of the nail changes, so that the application width to the nail as the application part can be changed.

In the present invention, in the vicinity of the center in the axial direction of the application body, the diameter is reduced as compared with the front and rear outer diameters, and in the state where the application cover is put on the application body and assembled, the reduced diameter portion is stored in the shaft cylinder. It is suitable.

With this structure, when the coating liquid is sent to the coating body, even if the liquid saturation exceeds the liquid absorption of the coating body such as the fiber body, the liquid can be temporarily retained in the reduced diameter portion, and the liquid overflows. Can be prevented.

In the present invention, the application cover is provided with a hole for exposing the outer surface of the application body in addition to the slit, and the outer surface of the application body exposed in a state where the application cover is mounted on the application body is also provided. It is preferable that application to an object is possible.
Since it can apply | coat to a target object with an application body from the hole exposed on the outer surface of this application body, it is highly convenient.

In the present invention, a hole into which the application body can be inserted from the back of the application cover is formed, two slits having different depths are opened at the front end, and the application surface has an application surface on the inner side where the front end of the application part is cut. It is formed so as to face two surfaces, and by inserting an application body into the application cover, each application surface faces each slit of the application cover, and a nail is provided between the application surfaces through each slit. With a shape that leaves enough space to be inserted, it can be applied only to one surface of the toe at the application surface that faces it, and by selecting one of the two slits, draw lines with different line widths It is preferable to use it for French nails that can be used.

In the present invention, a hole into which the application body can be inserted from the rear of the application cover is formed, two slits having different depths are opened at the front end, and the application surface has two application surfaces outside the front end of the application portion. It is formed with a surface separation, and by inserting the application body into the application cover, each application surface faces from each slit of the application cover, between the U shape and the exposed fiber body With a shape that leaves enough space to put the nail, it can be applied only to one surface of the nail at the application surface facing it, and by selecting one of the two slits, draw lines with different line widths It is suitable to use for French nails that can be used.

By providing two slits at the front end of the application cover as described above and processing the slits to have different depths, the application body is exposed from one side in the width direction of the slit surface of the application cover, There is a sufficient gap between the fiber body to be applied and the lower surface of the slit to allow the nail to be inserted, and the exposed surface can be applied only to one surface of the toe. Because the limit is different, lines with different line widths can be drawn.

In the present invention, the applicator covers the application body with a front shaft at the front and the application cover in front of the front shaft, and the application cover is removable from the front shaft, and It is preferable that the application body is also removable.

In the present invention, the applicator covers the applicator with a front shaft at the front and the application cover in front of the front shaft, and the application cover and the front shaft may be configured integrally. Good. By doing so, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

Is preferred. It is more preferable that the material is resistant to chemicals with respect to the organic solvent-based liquid used for French nails.

The present invention provides an applicator that allows the application liquid to be applied to an object by contacting the application portion of the application body impregnated with the application liquid.
Provided with an application body with slits formed on the surface of the application part,
The application body has an application surface formed along the axial direction of the application body at a front end portion, and is configured so that a toe can be passed through the slit and the application liquid can be applied to the toe with a predetermined width by the application surface. This is an applicator characterized by that.

According to the applicator of the present invention, the applicator, for example, feeds the coating liquid in the container to the applicator by feeding or knocking, and applies it to the object. The application surface of the application part is positioned in the slit with the application cover covering the application part, and an object such as a nail is inserted through the slit so that the application body has a nail shape By moving left and right so as to follow the above, it is possible to easily apply the coating liquid to a predetermined portion of the object, for example, the front end portion of the nail with a certain width by the coating surface.

Because of this simple operation, the wasted time (time required for learning, non-handedness application technology, unstable application drawing, nail smearing due to failure, etc.), which is a conventional dissatisfaction point in nail art, has been greatly improved. it can. In particular, nail art can be enjoyed further because it features a quick and beautiful finish.

In addition, a slit is provided in the coating cover that covers the coated body such as the fiber body, and the coated body is inserted, so that the coated body is exposed from the slit of the coating cover, and the nail is inserted and fixed to the limit of the slit of the coating cover. Thus, it can be applied to one side of the nail.
