The brush holder container 160 is formed long in the longitudinal direction, one side is sealed and the other side is formed with a thread 161 to be coupled to the sub-body 120 on the outer peripheral surface.

Electric mascara 100 having the above-described configuration is operated as follows.

When the user rotates the rotating body 130 to the right or left until it clicks in the axial direction, the connecting portion 141 of the control plate 140 mounted on the rotating body 130 also returns to the same direction. After that, the first and second connection terminals 144 and 145 or the third and fourth connection terminals 146 and 147 come into contact with the contact pin 114.

At this time, any one of the two display lamps (149a, 149b) is lit, the user checks the rotation direction of the brush 162 through the display lamps (149a, 149b) and then press the operation switch 148 motor Assembly 150 is driven to rotate the handle 162 in the desired direction.

This operation is described in detail in comparison with the circuit diagram of FIG.

In this circuit diagram, the "opening and closing switch" corresponds to the opening and closing switch 176 in FIG. 1, and the "switch 1", "switch 2", "switch 3", and "switch 4" are opened and closed, respectively. The first connecting terminal 144, the second connecting terminal 145, the third connecting terminal 146, and the fourth connecting terminal 147 formed in the form of contact with the contact pin 114. Opening and closing of the actuating switch " corresponds to actuating the actuating switch 148 of the switch / lamp portion 142.

First, when the user opens the brush storage container 160, the opening and closing switch 176 is restored and the power can be supplied to the motor assembly 150 and the control plate 140, the rotating body 130 of Figure 4 In the "A" direction, the control board 140 of FIG. 5 also returns to the "A" direction, which is the same direction, so that the first connection terminal 144 and the second connection terminal 145 are the main body 110. Each of the two contact pins 114 installed in the contact. This means that the "open / close switch" is closed in the circuit diagram and the "switch 1" and "switch 2" are closed and electrically connected. At this time, the "lamp 1" lights up to inform that the handle 162 is to be turned clockwise in the forward direction.

In this state, when the user presses the operation switch 148, the motor assembly 150 is operated in the forward direction to rotate the pole 162 in the forward direction. This means that in the circuit diagram the "operation switch" is short-circuited and electrically connected and the "motor" rotates in the forward direction.

Next, when the user rotates the rotating body 130 in the direction B of FIG. 4 while the brush storage container 160 is opened, the control plate 140 of FIG. 5 also returns to the direction “B”. At this time, the third connecting terminal 146 and the fourth connecting terminal 147 are in contact with the two contact pins 114 provided on the main body 110, respectively. This means that the "open and close switch" in the circuit diagram is closed and the "switch 3" and "switch 4" are closed and electrically connected. At this time, the "lamp 2" lights up to inform that the brush rod 162 is returned to the counterclockwise direction.

In this state, when the user presses the operation switch 148, the motor assembly 150 is operated in the reverse direction to rotate the pole 162 in the reverse direction. This means that in the circuit diagram the "operation switch" is short-circuited and electrically connected and the "motor" rotates in the reverse direction.

On the other hand, when the user closes the brush storage container 160 after the work, the opening and closing switch 176 is pressed, the power is not supplied to the motor assembly 150 and the control board 140. This means that the "open and close switch" in the circuit diagram is opened and electrically disconnected.

As mentioned above, although the electric mascara of this invention was demonstrated with reference to the preferred embodiment of this invention, it is clear for those skilled in the art that correction, a change, and various modifications are possible without departing from the idea of this invention.

According to the electric mascara of the present invention, since the rotation direction of the handle can be known in advance according to the rotation of the rotating body, the user can easily clean the eyebrows.

In addition, since the motor operates only when the operation switch is pressed after the display lamp is turned on by rotating the rotating body, the switch is turned on without the user's knowledge as in the related art, so that the battery is not consumed unnecessarily.

In addition, when the brush storage container is closed, the on / off switch is always opened, and the power supplied to the motor assembly and the control board is cut off at the source. Therefore, mascara cannot be used without opening the brush storage container. There is also no risk that the switch will be turned on and the battery will be unnecessarily drained.
