Description

Thin film layer supply equipment

The present invention relates to an instrument that supplies a thin film layer to be attached to the body surface of a human body such as skin for attachment.

Conventionally, as shown in

Patent Documents

1 and 2, for example, a sheet body in which a thin film layer attached to a body surface of a human body is releasably supported on one surface of a sheet-like carrier is known. It has become. Many of the above thin film layers are known, such as those for cosmetics and those for medical use. For example, as a thin film layer for makeup, a thin film layer for hiding stains can be mentioned.

Such a thin film layer is difficult to handle by itself because it is thin before being attached to the body surface. Further, since the area of the thin film layer for concealing stains is usually quite small, it is difficult to handle from this point as well. Therefore, as shown in

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2005-261847 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2006-102485

The use of the sheet body as described above is effective in facilitating the handling of the thin film layer, but may cause another problem. That is, this sheet body may be stored or carried in a state where a plurality of sheets are stacked on each other for sale or personal use, but in such a case, the two thin film layers are directly or thinly formed between them. It may overlap through a protective layer or the like. Then, the two overlapping thin film layers are strongly adhered to each other due to the action of static electricity in some cases, so that when they are separated from each other, both or only one of them may be damaged. Further, even if the sheet body does not have the above-mentioned adhesion, the thin film layer may be damaged by inadvertently receiving an external force when the sheet body is stored or carried.

It is relatively easy to prevent the thin film layer from being damaged due to the above-mentioned adhesion, and a plurality of sheet bodies may be stored or carried in a state where they do not overlap each other. However, in such a case, since the plurality of sheet bodies are all arranged in substantially one plane, the plurality of sheet bodies to be stored or carried have an extremely large area, which is extremely inconvenient for practical use.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and in a thin film layer supply device for supplying a thin film layer to be attached to the body surface of a human body such as skin for attachment, a plurality of thin film layers are overlapped with each other. The purpose is to prevent damage to the thin film layer even if it is held in such a state, and to improve operability of the user.

The thin film layer supply device according to the present invention
A sheet body in which a thin film layer attached to the surface of the human body is detachably supported on one surface of a sheet-like carrier, and a sheet body.
A case to put this sheet inside and
It is a thin film layer supply device composed of
The carrier constituting the sheet body is composed of a utilization region including a portion supporting the thin film layer and a holding region separated from the utilization region by a cutting line that makes the carrier easily cutable.
Inside the case, there is provided a sheet body holding means for holding a plurality of sheet bodies arranged so as to overlap each other in the case by fixing a holding area of the carrier.
It is characterized by that.

Note that the above-mentioned "easily cutable" means that an adult can cut it by pulling it by hand normally. Further, "arranging a plurality of sheet bodies in a direction in which they overlap each other" means that at least a part of each sheet body is arranged so as to overlap each other, and all the sheet bodies are arranged when viewed from the overlapping direction. It does not necessarily have to be consistent.

In the thin film layer supply device of the present invention, the thin film layer is preferably composed of a layer printed on the surface of the carrier.

Further, it is desirable that the carrier has a plurality of minute convex portions distributed in the plane on the surface opposite to the surface supporting the thin film layer.

Further, in the thin film layer supply device of the present invention, while the sheet body is held by the sheet body holding means, only one utilization region may exist in the case within the layer expansion surface of the carrier. ..

Alternatively, while the sheet body is held by the sheet body holding means, the utilization region may exist in the n-plane (2 <n) case within the layer expansion plane of the carrier. When the utilization area exists in the n-plane (2 <n) case in this way, the sheet body holding means sets the n-plane holding area existing in the case and the n-plane holding area separated by the cut line. It is desirable that they are configured to sandwich each other.

Further, it is desirable that the sheet body holding means is fixed by sandwiching the holding area of the carrier from both the front and back sides of the carrier.

On the other hand, the thin film layer is preferably a layer containing a component that is applied to the surface of the human body and exerts a beauty effect or a health effect.

According to the thin film layer supply device of the present invention, the sheet body is held in the case so as not to receive an external force, and the sheet body is held on a holding area different from the utilization area of the carrier. Since it is performed by using it, even if a plurality of sheet bodies are arranged so as to overlap each other, it is possible to prevent the plurality of thin film layers in the utilization area from being strongly adhered to each other. Therefore, the thin film layer is effectively prevented from being damaged.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a thin film layer supply device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and here shows a state in which the case is opened. 2 and 3 are perspective views and partial cross-sectional views showing the thin film layer supply device 1 in a state different from that of FIG. 1, respectively. The thin film layer supply device 1 is basically composed of a sheet body 10 and a case 30 in which the sheet body 10 is housed. 1 to 3 show a state in which the sheet body 10 is held in the case 30. Hereinafter, the sheet body 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the sheet body 10, and FIG. 5 shows the cross-sectional shape of the portion along the VV line in FIG. Note that FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross-sectional shape, and the thickness of each part of the cross section is different from the actual one. As shown in the drawing, the sheet body 10 has a thin film layer 12 detachably supported on one surface (upper surface in FIG. 5) of the sheet-shaped carrier 11. The sheet body 10 of this example is also provided with a protective layer 13 with a thin film layer 12 in between so as to face the carrier 11.

The carrier 11 and the protective layer 13 are formed of, for example, a non-woven fabric. On the other hand, the thin film layer 12 has a printed portion 12a formed on a transparent base film having a thickness of, for example, about 30 to 200 nm. The printed portion 12a is used as a stain hiding in this example, and is colored in skin color. The base film is composed of, for example, a material containing polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polycaprolactone, or a copolymer thereof. A detailed description of this type of material is given in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 6033771.

The carrier 11, the thin film layer 12, and the protective layer 13 are separated into a utilization area A and a holding area B with a linearly extending cut line C as a boundary. The portion of the thin film layer 12 on which the printed portion 12a is formed is included in the utilization area A. In this example, two utilization areas A are continuous from one common holding area B via a cut line C. As an example, three holding circular holes 10a are formed in the holding region B so as to penetrate from the carrier 11 to the protective layer 13. The cut line C is a perforated cut that penetrates from the carrier 11 to the protective layer 13, and the use area A can be easily cut with respect to the holding area B at the cut line C. The meaning of this "easily cuttable" is as described above.

The holding of the sheet body 10 in the case 30 will be described later, but if this holding is performed by holding only the carrier 11, the cut line C may be provided only on the carrier 11. In that case, the carrier 11 is separated from the utilization area A and the holding area B by the cut line C as a boundary.

Next, returning to FIGS. 1 to 3, the case 30 will be described. The case 30 is composed of a case main body 31 and a case lid 32. The case body 31 is formed in the shape of a shallow open container including a square bottom plate 31a having rounded four corners and a side wall 31b rising from the periphery of the bottom plate 31a. Similarly, the case lid 32 is also formed in the shape of a shallow open container including a square bottom plate 32a having rounded four corners and a side wall 32b rising from the periphery of the bottom plate 32a. The case body 31 and the case lid 32 are connected by a hinge 33 (see FIG. 3) at one end of each of the

side walls

31b and 32b. The case body 31, the case lid 32, and the hinge 33 are integrally formed of, for example, synthetic resin.

Since the case lid 32 is connected to the case body 31 via the hinge 33 as described above, the case lid 32 can swing with respect to the case body 31 in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1 with the hinge 33 as the axis. .. FIG. 1 shows that the swingable case lid 32 is in an open state, that is, a state in which the upper part of the case body 31 is opened. When the case lid 32 is swung in the direction approaching the case body 31 from this open state, the tip surface of the side wall 32b of the case lid 32 is finally closed in contact with the tip surface of the side wall 31b of the case body 31. It becomes a lid state. The cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 shows the closed state.

The side wall 31b of the case body 31 is provided with cuts 31c on the left and right, respectively, and a recess 31d is formed at the end opposite to the hinge 33. When the case lid 32 that has been closed as described above is to be opened, the fingertip to be operated is addressed from the notch 31c or the recess 31d to the tip surface of the side wall 32b of the case lid 32. Therefore, the lid opening operation can be easily performed. Here, it is desirable that the case body 31 and the case lid 32 are provided with a known mechanism capable of maintaining the closed state of the case lid 32. Specifically, as such a mechanism, the case body 31 and the case lid 32 are engaged with each other on the tip side (the side opposite to the connecting portion by the hinge 33), and when pushed in, they are elastically deformed to release the engagement. Mechanism, etc. can be applied.

The case body 31 and the case lid 32 are connected by the following configuration in addition to the hinge 33 described above. This configuration will be described below. A connecting member 40 is arranged in the case 30. The connecting member 40 is formed of, for example, synthetic resin, and is laterally lateral to the central portion 41 extending substantially in the length direction of the case body 31 and one end portion (the end portion on the side far from the hinge 33) of the central portion 41. It has a pair of guide portions 42 extending to the center and a tubular portion 43 fixed to the other end of the central portion 41. In order to hold the connecting member 40, the case main body 31 is formed with a pair of guide plates 31e that are folded inward from the upper ends of the left and right side portions of the side wall 31b and extend substantially parallel to the bottom plate 31a. Each of the pair of guide portions 42 is placed between the bottom plate 31a and the guide plate 31e, and is positioned from above and below by the bottom plate 31a and the guide plate 31e in the direction of arrow Y in FIG. It is possible to move to.

On the other hand, a pair of shaft support portions 35 standing up from the bottom plate 32a are provided on the inner surface of the bottom plate 32a of the case lid 32. These shaft support portions 35 are also integrally formed with the case lid 32, for example, by using synthetic resin. Each shaft support 35 has a rod-shaped shaft (not shown) protruding inward from the tip, that is, toward each other, and these shafts are housed in the tubular portion 43 from one end and the other end of the tubular portion 43. Has been done. The shaft support portion 35 changes its direction according to the swing of the case lid 32, and when the case lid 32 is in the above-mentioned open state, the shaft takes the highest position (the state of FIG. 1), and the case lid 32 is closed as described above. When in the lid state, the shaft is displaced so as to take the lowest position (state in FIG. 3).

The connecting member 40, which is connected to these shaft support portions 35 via the tubular portion 43, moves the guide portion 42 in the direction of the arrow Y in FIG. 1 as described above, and these shaft support portions 35. Follows the displacement of. Therefore, when the case lid 32 is in the open state, the connecting member 40 is in an oblique posture in which the tubular portion 43 is at a higher position, and when the case lid 32 is in the closed state, the tubular portion 43 is compared. It is in a low sleeping posture (a posture that is substantially parallel to the bottom plate 31a of the case body 31) at a target low position.

Next, the holding of the sheet body 10 will be described. In the present embodiment, the seat body 10 is held in the case 30 by the seat body holding unit 50 as the seat body holding means. As shown in FIG. 1, the seat body holding unit 50 is composed of a main body 51 and a lid 52 combined with the main body 51. FIG. 2 shows a state in which a predetermined combination (display state of FIG. 1) of the main body 51 and the lid 52 is released. The seat body 10 receives the work of holding the seat body holding unit 50 in the state shown in FIG. 2 and holding the seat body holding unit 50 in the seat body holding unit 50. In addition, in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the sheet body 10 is shown by a two-dot chain line in order to avoid complication of the drawing.

The lid 52 is swingably attached to the main body 51 via a hinge 54. At the end opposite to the end on which the hinge 54 is interposed, the main body 51 and the lid 52 are formed with the following engaging mechanism for maintaining the combined state of the two. When the seat body holding unit 50 holds the seat body 10, the lid body 52 opens wide above the main body 51 after the engagement between the main body 51 and the lid body 52 by the engagement mechanism is released. It is rocked. As an example, three small cylindrical sheet insertion portions 53 are erected on the bottom surface of the main body 51. These sheet insertion portions 53 together with the three columnar convex portions 55 erected on the lid 52 form the above-mentioned engaging mechanism. In addition, instead of the cylindrical sheet insertion portion 53 and the columnar convex portion 55, the engagement mechanism may be configured from a cylindrical sheet insertion portion having another shape and a columnar convex portion fitted inside the cylindrical sheet insertion portion 53. , Each of them may be other than three. Further, as will be described later, the sheet insertion portion 53 and the columnar convex portion 55 have the function of being inserted into the holding circular hole 10a of the sheet body 10 to hold the sheet body 10, but the sheet body holding unit 50 has a sheet. A means for simply sandwiching a part of the body 10 from above and below may be provided so as to hold the sheet body 10.

It should be noted that such a main body 51, a lid 52, and a hinge 54 can also be integrally formed using synthetic resin as an example. Further, the main body 51 is attached to the upper surface of the central portion 41 of the connecting member 40 described above, but this attachment may be removable via an engagement mechanism provided between the central portion 41 and the main body 51. Alternatively, the central portion 41 and the main body 51 may be integrally formed so as to be non-removable.

In the seat body 10 whose detailed shape is shown in FIG. 4, after the seat body holding unit 50 is in the state shown in FIG. 2, the three seat insertion portions 53 of the main body 51 are inserted into the three holding circular holes 10a of the seat body 10. By inserting it, it is held by the main body 51 (that is, by the seat body holding unit 50). After that, the lid 52 is engaged with the main body 51 by fitting the three convex portions 55 formed on the lid 52 into the circular holes of the sheet insertion portion 53, respectively. In this state, the seat body 10 held by the seat body holding unit 50 is prevented from falling off from the seat body holding unit 50. Note that FIGS. 1 and 2 show a state in which only one sheet body 10 is held by the sheet body holding unit 50, but the sheet insertion portion 53 is considerably longer than the thickness of the sheet body 10. Therefore, it is also possible to have the sheet body holding unit 50 hold the plurality of sheet bodies 10 in a state of being overlapped with each other.

Even if the plurality of sheet bodies 10 are held by the sheet body holding unit 50 in a state of being overlapped with each other as described above, the thin film layer 12 is effectively prevented from being damaged due to the adhesion of the thin film layers 12. The detailed reason is as described above.

Further, in the present embodiment, the work of causing the seat body holding unit 50 to hold the seat body 10 is performed with the thin case lid 32 opened. In this state, as described above, since the connecting member 40 is in an oblique posture in which the tubular portion 43 is in a relatively high position, the seat body holding unit 50 is also in a relatively high position, which facilitates the above work.

Next, the supply and use of the thin film layer 12 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. In using the thin film layer 12, the user sets the thin film layer supply device 1 in the state shown in FIG. 1, that is, the case lid 32 is open. Then, the user can use a thin film in a range in which one printing portion 12a is formed from the plurality of sheet bodies 10 held on the sheet body holding unit 50 so as to overlap each other, or the sheet body 10 holding only one sheet. The layer 12 is grasped together with the upper and lower carriers 11 and the protective layer 13, and pulled so as to separate them from the sheet body holding unit 50. Then, the carrier 11, the thin film layer 12, and the protective layer 13 in the above range are easily cut from the cut line C. Since the sheet body 10 is held by the sheet body holding unit 50 as shown in FIG. 2, it is the portion of the utilization area A shown in FIG. 5 that is cut from the cutting line C and gripped by the user. , The holding area B remains held by the sheet body holding unit 50.

Next, the protective layer 13 is peeled off by the user from the portion of the utilization area A shown in FIG. The state is shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the remaining carrier 11 and the thin film layer 12 are arranged so that the thin film layer 12 including the printing portion 12a is in close contact with the body surface portion (for example, skin) S. Then, in this state, while pressing the carrier 11 with a finger, the thin film layer 12 is adapted to the body surface portion S. After that, when the carrier 11 is peeled off as shown in FIG. 8, only the thin film layer 12 including the printed portion 12a remains on the body surface portion S. In this way, for example, the printing unit 12a that hides stains can be used.

Next, the thin film layer supply device 2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9 showing its perspective shape. In FIG. 9, the same elements as those in FIGS. 1 to 8 described above are given the same numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted unless otherwise specified (the same applies hereinafter). .. The thin film layer supply device 2 is configured by accommodating the sheet body 110 in the case 130 composed of the case main body 131 and the case lid 132. The thin film layer supply device 2 of the present embodiment is basically different from the thin film layer supply device 1 in that the sheet body 110 has a different shape from the above-mentioned sheet body 10. That is, the sheet body 110 is composed of the carrier 11, the thin film layer 12, and the protective layer 13 like the sheet body 10, but includes four printing portions 12a in one thin film layer 12.

Each sheet body 110 has a holding area similar to the holding area B shown in FIG. 4 and a usage area similar to the usage area A. A total of four used areas are formed from one holding area, two on the right side and two on the left side, and each of the used areas including the printing unit 12a can be cut out from the holding area. In the case 130, a sheet body holding unit 150 having basically the same structure as the sheet body holding unit 50 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is arranged. The holding area of the sheet body 110 is held by the sheet body holding unit 150. The sheet body 110 is held in the sheet body holding unit 150 in a state where a plurality of sheets are stacked, for example, and the used area including the printing unit 12a can be cut out from the holding area one by one and used.

Next, the thin film layer supply device 3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11 showing its perspective shape. The thin film layer supply device 3 is basically different from the thin film layer supply device 2 of FIG. 9 described above in that the configuration of the case 230 is different. That is, in the present embodiment, the case body 231A and the case body 231B are attached to the left and right sides of the seat body holding unit 250 so as to be swingable in the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 10, for example, via a hinge mechanism (not shown). The case 230 is composed of the case body 231A, the case body 231B, and the seat body holding unit 250.

The seat body holding unit 250 is composed of a unit body 251 and a unit lid body 252 having basically the same structure as the main body 51 and the lid body 52 of the seat body holding unit 50 shown in FIG. 2, respectively. When the case main body 231A and the case main body 231B are swung in the direction of approaching each other along the direction of the arrow R shown in FIG. 10 with respect to the seat body holding unit 250, the two sides of the seat body holding unit 250 The case body 231A and the case body 231B are in close contact with one of the ends and the other, respectively, and the case 230 is in the closed state, that is, the state shown in FIG. When the case main body 231A and the case main body 231B are swung in the direction away from each other from this closed state, the lid is opened in FIG. 10 in which the inside of the case 230 is exposed.

As shown in FIG. 10, disk-shaped guide plates 240 are fixed to the left and right sides of the unit lid 252 constituting the seat body holding unit 250. When the case body 231A and the case body 231B are close to the seat body holding unit 250 from the side, these guide plates 240 guide the case body 231A and the case body 231B, respectively, and position their upper surfaces with the seat body holding unit. It acts to align with the top surface position of 250. Also in the configuration of the present embodiment, it is desirable to provide the seat body holding unit 250 with known means for keeping the case body 231A and the case body 231B in the closed state.

In the thin film layer supply device 3 according to the third embodiment, the same sheet body 210 as the sheet body 110 applied to the thin film layer supply device 2 of the second embodiment is applied. The sheet body 210 is held by the sheet body holding unit 250, for example, in a state where a plurality of sheets are stacked. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, after the case 230 is set to the lid open state shown in FIG. 10, the utilization area including the printing portion 12a is cut out one by one from the sheet body 210 held by the sheet body holding unit 250. Can be used.
