Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a cosmetic brush with multiple functions.

``Prior Art'' Some cosmetic brushes are used to apply makeup cosmetics to adjust skin tone and three-dimensional appearance depending on the color tone.

For example, cheek brushes are used to apply cosmetics to cheeks and foreheads, eyebrow brushes are used to make up and care for eyebrows, eye shadow brushes are used to make up eyelids, and eyeliner brushes are used to apply make-up to the eyelids. It is used to accent the eyes, the lip brush is used to outline the lips and set lipstick, and the finishing brush is used to remove excess cosmetics at the end of applying makeup.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' By the way, conventional cosmetic brushes like this one only perform their original brush function, so there was a problem that a large number of them had to be prepared. . In addition, since the tips of the hair are always exposed, there is a problem that the tips of the hair are not protected, and that cosmetics adhering to the tips of the hair can stain clothes and the like. To solve the latter problem, some devices have removable caps, but there are problems in that it is troublesome to remove and install the caps, and moreover, the caps may be lost.

This idea was made in consideration of these circumstances, and it can perform multiple brush functions.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cosmetic brush that is easy to operate and has a cap function that is not likely to be lost.

"Means for solving the problem" This invention includes a cylindrical brush case with a flat inner wall of the front opening, a plurality of locking recesses formed at at least three locations on the inner wall of the brush case, A slider that is slidably housed in a brush case, a bundle of hair that is provided at the tip of the slider and that is taken in and out from the tip of the brush case as the slider slides, and the tip is connected to the slider. a substantially annular operating wire whose rear end protrudes from the rear end of the brush case; and a tongue piece provided at the rear end of the brush case for locking the slider and the operating wire during operation. A cosmetic brush is provided with a makeup brush, and a part of the operating wire is configured to be locked in one of the plurality of locking recesses by its elastic action.

According to this invention, by manipulating the operating wire to lock a portion of the wire into one of the plurality of locking recesses, the slider position within the brush case changes, thereby causing a bundle of hair to be fixed, for example. The brush can be used as a cheek brush or finishing brush, or it can be completely housed in the brush case.

"Example" This invention will be described in detail below with reference to an example.

1 to 3 show a cosmetic brush according to an embodiment of this invention.

This cosmetic brush includes a flat cylindrical brush case 11 made of synthetic resin and having a flat front opening inner wall. Thereby, the brush case 11 of the bundle of bristles 23 at the front end of the brush case
Part of the bristles that are exposed from the brush case is no longer caught on the inner wall of the brush case, and the bristles can be exposed and protected without being disturbed. First to third hemispherical locking recesses 13 to 15 are formed at three predetermined locations facing each other on the wall of the cavity 12 of the brush case 11, respectively. Also,
A circular hole 1 is provided on one side near the rear end of the brush case 11.
6 is formed.

A slider 21 is installed in the cavity 12 of the brush case 11.
is slidably housed. The slider 21 is
In order to connect the tip end of the operating wire 31, which will be described later, with some play, the structure is such that two halves having a groove 22 corresponding to the lower half of the Ω-shape are glued together. A bundle of bristles 23 is provided at the tip of the slider 21, and is fixed with a metal ring 24 and adhesive.

In the groove 22 of the slider 21, there is a slight play in the tip of a substantially annular operating wire 31, whose tip has a shape that corresponds to the lower half of an Ω-shape and whose rear end is shaped like an inverted U. It is fitted with . Both ends of the operating wire 31 have convex surfaces and are adapted to slightly protrude from the groove 22. The rear end portion of the operating wire 31 passes through the rear end opening of the brush case 11 and protrudes appropriately to the outside.

A circular cover 32 is fitted into the circular hole 16 of the brush case 11. The cover 32 has a tongue piece 33
is formed. Brush case 1 is attached to tongue piece 33
This prevents the slider 21 from popping out due to the operation wire 31 being inserted too much or the operation wire 31 being pulled out too much. The tongue piece 33 may be integrally molded in advance at the rear end opening of the brush case 11 to close off the excess portion, but in this case, the brush case 33 is closed so that the wire can be inserted. The brush case 11 must be formed by vertically dividing the brush into two halves and fitting them together.

In this cosmetic brush, the bristle bundle 23 can be placed either in a state where it can be used as a cheek brush or a finishing brush, or in a state where it is completely accommodated in the brush case 11.

First, when using this cosmetic brush as a cheek brush, both ends of the operating wire 31 are elastically engaged with the first locking recess 13, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. When the hair is stopped, the hair bundle 23 can be used as a cheek brush.

Next, when using this cosmetic brush as a finishing brush, as shown in Figure 4,
When both ends of the operating wire 31 are elastically locked in the second locking recess 14, the hair bundle 23 can be used as a finishing brush.

Next, when this cosmetic brush is not used, as shown in FIG. This means that the bundle 23 can be completely accommodated within the brush case 11.

In this cosmetic brush, the groove 22 of the slider 21
Since both the operating wire 31 and the operating wire 31 have a symmetrical shape, the operating wire 31 does not rattle due to its own elastic action, and can be operated smoothly.

"Effects of the invention" As explained above, according to this invention, the position of the slider in the brush case is adjusted by manipulating the operation wire to lock a part of it in one of the plurality of locking recesses. This allows the bundle of bristles to be either used as a cheek brush or finishing brush, or completely housed in the brush case, so that one brush can perform multiple functions. In addition to being able to protect the tips of the bristles, the brush case can also serve as a cap, so you won't lose the cap alone.
