Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic applicator for applying mascara to eyelashes, and more particularly to a cosmetic applicator for improving mascara applicability to eyelashes.

  Traditional mascara is a mixture of mucous pigments such as black, and is widely used as a cosmetic for eyelashes. It can look attractive.

  Therefore, as a tool for applying mascara to the eyelashes, the brush material is sandwiched between the two metal wires so as to intersect the metal wire, and the metal wire is spirally twisted to fix the brush material between the winding rings. Widely used application brushes having a shaped shape. In such a coating brush, the lengths of the brush members extending radially from the metal wire are generally the same.

  In such a conventional application brush, the mascara attached to the brush is removed by inserting the application brush into the container containing the mascara, immersing it in the mascara, removing it and wiping it at the mouth of the container. Although it can be done, the mascara for applying to the eyelashes at that time will also be removed and the mascara will not adhere uniformly to the entire application brush, so it will not adhere uniformly to the eyelashes when applying There was a problem that they had to be mottled and have to splice many times.

  In order to solve such a problem, as proposed in Patent Document 1, mascara can be applied to the eyelashes in an appropriate amount, and the mascara adhered to the eyelashes can be prepared, Cosmetic applicators and cosmetic applicators that can easily replenish mascara have been proposed.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the cosmetic applicator disclosed in Patent Document 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the cosmetic applicator 10 is composed of an application portion 13 in which brush hairs 11 are provided on a shaft member 12 and a holding portion 15 connected to the core wire 12, and is provided on the core wire 12. The brush bristles 11 have at least two or more convex portions 14 that are curved with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shaft, and the convex portions 14 are arranged symmetrically about the shaft member 12 as an axis. .

According to the above configuration, since a sufficient amount of mascara is held between the convex portions 14, there is no need to repeat the liquid joining operation, and the cosmetic applicator 10 is applied from the base of the eyelashes to the tip of the eyelashes. The mascara held between the convex portions 14 can be stably supplied to the eyelashes only by moving it.
JP 2005-334094 A

Thus, according to the cosmetic applicator disclosed in Patent Document 1, since a sufficient amount of mascara is held between the convex portions, there is no need to repeat the liquid joining operation, and the mascara is stabilized. Although it could be supplied to the eyelashes, there were the following problems.
That is, the eyelids are originally curved along the eyeball in a spherical shape, and eyelashes grow on the spherically curved eyelids. In the cosmetic applicator proposed in Patent Document 1, Since the structure is linear, in order to apply mascara along the curved eyelashes, the procedure of applying the brush hairs 11 to the left end portion, the central portion and the right end portion of the eyelashes and lifting them upwards must be repeated a plurality of times. In other words, there is a problem that the coating operation becomes complicated. For this reason, it takes time to apply or curl mascara on the eyelashes on average, which is not convenient.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic applicator that can reduce the cumbersome work related to mascara application and can apply mascara on the entire eyelashes on average.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises an application part in which brush bristles are provided on a core member, a shaft part connected to the core member, and a holding part connected to the shaft part. A cosmetic applicator for holding and applying a fixed amount of cosmetic, wherein the core member is formed in an arc shape, and at least two or more of the application portions are in the longitudinal direction of the core member. The present invention provides a cosmetic applicator characterized by being provided.

  In the above configuration, it is desirable that the application part has a curved surface that is a circular arc, an elliptical arc, or a part of a parabola.

  Moreover, it is desirable that the application part has a substantially spherical shape or a substantially elliptical spherical shape with respect to the longitudinal direction of the core member.

  According to the present invention, since the core member is formed in an arc shape and at least two application portions are provided in the longitudinal direction of the core member, the application portion is surely provided on the entire eyelashes growing on the curved eyelids. Can be applied. For this reason, an appropriate amount of mascara can be averagely applied in a small number of times. In addition, since the mascara is held between the plurality of application units, it is possible to eliminate the troublesome work of supplying the application unit with the mascara many times.

Hereinafter, a cosmetic applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is an external view of a cosmetic applicator according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration thereof.
As shown in FIG. 1, this cosmetic applicator 100 is used by being connected to the shaft portion 102, an application portion 101 for applying mascara to the eyelashes, a shaft portion 102 for holding the application portion 101, and the like. And a holding unit 103 that holds the mascara when the person applies mascara to the eyelashes.

  In the above configuration, the application unit 101 applies mascara to the eyelashes, removes excessively attached mascara and its lump, and has the effect of allowing the mascara to conform to the eyelashes. Used for combing. As shown in FIG. 2, the application unit 101 has an arc shape. In this arc shape, the core wire 101 a is formed from the connecting portion with the shaft portion 102 toward the tip of the coating portion 101. This arc shape is a shape having a size along the shape of the eyelid that is curved into the spherical shape of the eyeball. Therefore, when applying mascara to the eyelashes, the arc-shaped application part 101 is fitted to the base of the eyelashes.

  The application unit 101 is obtained by winding a bristles 101b around a core wire 101a made of resin, metal, or a metal material in a spiral shape. Here, the material of the core wire 101a is not limited to resin, metal, or a metal material, and other various materials can be used, but generally a rod-shaped material is used. Further, various thicknesses can be adopted and are not particularly limited.

  Further, as the material of the brush hair 101b, various materials and soft materials can be adopted depending on the mascara finish and the type of mascara used. As the material, any material such as nylon can be used, and the cross section may be solid or hollow. For example, if the hair is soft and the amount of the brush hair 101b is large, the brush hair 101b is often entangled with the eyelashes, resulting in a delicate finish. In addition, when the volume is increased by overlapping mascara, it is generally preferable that the hair is hard and the amount of the brush hair 101b is small.

The bristles 101b are provided such that the tips are directed radially outward from the core wire 101a. Then, the plurality of convex portions 101c are formed by cutting the bristles 101b into appropriate lengths. As a cutting method, cutting is performed so as to form at least two or more convex portions 101c including a curved surface that is a part of a circular arc, an elliptical arc, or a parabola in the longitudinal direction of the core wire 101a. Thereby, the application part 101 has at least 2 or more convex part 101c which consists of a curved surface with respect to the longitudinal direction of the core wire 101a, and the convex part 101c is arrange | positioned symmetrically centering | focusing on the core wire 101a.
The number of the convex portions 101c is not particularly limited, but preferably at least three substantially spherical or substantially elliptical convex portions 101c are provided on the core wire 101a.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the shaft portion 102 has a portion of the core wire 101 a inserted into one end thereof, and holds the core wire 101 a. Further, a part of the other end is inserted into the holding unit 103, so that it is connected to the holding unit 103.

  The holding portion 103 is provided with a screwing portion 103a on the inner side, and is screwed with a storage container (not shown) in which a mascara is stored. The holder 103 is formed in a cylindrical or polygonal shape so as to be easily held by the user in accordance with the shape of the receiving container, and the thickness and material thereof are not particularly limited.

Next, the operation of the cosmetic applicator 100 will be described.
The cosmetic applicator 100 is inserted into a storage container in which the mascara is stored, the application unit 101 is immersed in the mascara, and is extracted from the storage container. At this time, when the bristles 101b are squeezed at the mouth of the receiving container 101, the mascara adhering to each convex portion 101c is squeezed to an appropriate amount, and between the convex portions 101c. A sufficient amount of mascara is held by the surface tension.

  Then, a mascara is applied by the application unit 101 to the eyelashes that grow on the eyelid that is curved in a spherical shape along the eyeball. At this time, since the shape of the application part 101 is arcuate and the eyelashes growing along the eyelashes are also arcuate, they can be applied to the entire base of the eyelashes on average and reliably. For this reason, mascara can be applied to the entire eyelashes in an appropriate amount on average. Further, since a sufficient amount of mascara is held between the convex portions 101c due to the surface tension, it is possible to meet the demand for the volume of the mascara. Furthermore, even when scooping or combing the mascara that has adhered to the eyelashes, the entire application of the eyelashes can be averaged since the application part 101 is arcuate.

  In addition, since the mascara is held between the convex portions 101c, it is not necessary to replenish the coating portion 101 with the mascara by putting it in the storage container many times. Since the held mascara can be replenished to the eyelashes, a complicated liquid splicing operation is not required.

  As described above, since the cosmetic applicator according to the present embodiment can reliably apply the arc-shaped application portion to the curved eyelash shape, an appropriate amount of mascara can be applied with a small number of times. It can be applied on average throughout. Therefore, it is easy to curl up the eyelashes, the mascara can be applied to each eyelash, and the effect of the mascara can be maintained for a long time. Furthermore, it is not necessary to wipe off too much mascara by providing a plurality of convex portions. Further, since a sufficient amount of mascara is held between the convex portions, the mascara can be supplied to the eyelashes without frequently replenishing from the storage container.

It is an external view of the cosmetic applicator according to the present embodiment. It is a figure which shows the cross section of the cosmetics applicator shown in FIG. It is the figure which showed the structure of the conventional cosmetics applicator.
