Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a double-barreled brush suitable for applying blush to the cheeks and around the eyes, and particularly concerns the width of the brush and the width of the brush. This invention relates to a double brush whose direction can be changed as appropriate.

[Prior Art] Generally, when applying cosmetics such as blush, a wide brush and a wide brush are used for areas where the application area is relatively wide, such as the cheeks, and areas where the application area is relatively narrow, such as around the eyes. I use it with a narrow brush.

For this reason, users of cosmetics such as blushers are required to store two types of brushes, a wide brush and a narrow brush, in a compact manner, which causes problems such as inconvenience in carrying them. .

In order to solve these problems,
−As shown in Publication No. 81639, the left side has hair implanted;
The base part on the right side is connected by a V-shaped groove so as to be expandable and foldable, and the base parts on the left and right sides are connected by other V-shaped grooves located on the same line as the V-shaped groove. By providing left and right handles and expanding the left and right bases and handles through the V-shaped grooves,
The left and right bristles can be used as a flat, wide brush, while the left and right bases and handles can be folded over each other through the V-shaped grooves to create a narrow, thick brush. It is known that it can be used as

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the prior art disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-81639 has the following problems.

First, since the brush is used narrowly, when the left and right bases and handles are folded over each other through the V-shaped groove, the bristles on the left and right also overlap, creating a thick brush. It ends up. For this reason, there is a problem in that a thick brush is inconvenient for application when it is intended to be applied to areas where the application area is relatively narrow, such as around the eyes.

Second, since the hairs are only planted in the same direction on the left and right bases, only the same cosmetic can be applied whether the brush is used wide or narrow. For example, even if you want to use the brush on the left for blushing and the brush on the right for eyeshadow, there is a problem that the colors will be mixed and cannot be applied selectively.

Thirdly, the left and right base parts, which are made of flocked hair, are connected through a V-shaped groove, so when you try to expand the left and right base parts for wider use, the V There is a problem in that a gap between the bristles occurs at the position of the mold groove, leaving unpainted areas at the position of the gap, making it impossible to apply uniformly.

The present invention was developed in view of the problems of the conventional technology, and allows the brush to be used as a wide brush or a narrow brush depending on the purpose of use without changing the thickness of the brush, and the direction of the brush can be changed. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-barreled brush.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the configuration adopted by the present invention includes a pair of substantially rectangular support members each having a brush attached to one end thereof, and a pair of substantially rectangular support members each having a brush attached to the other end thereof, Vertical contact surfaces that come into contact with each other when the support members are arranged in series so as to selectively use the brushes; At the corner between the horizontal abutment surfaces that contact each other when the support members are arranged in parallel so as to be used in a wide width manner, and the other end surface and one side surface of each support member. a guide surface formed in an arc shape and arranged between the vertical contact surface and the horizontal contact surface; and a shaft hole located at the center of the arc of each guide surface and provided in the support member. , a connecting rod attached to each shaft hole so as to rotatably connect each support member, and allowing each support member to rotate between a series position and a parallel position along the guide surface.
