Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to red brushes and other cosmetic applicators that are mainly used in beauty salons, cosmetics retailers, and the like.

[Background and issues]

When applying makeup at a beauty salon or selling cosmetic tools, the lipstick color should be selected from the customer's favorite color, or the most desirable color in balance with other factors such as eye shadow. It is being done.

For this reason, we show many colors to one customer,
You have to choose.

Choosing a lipstick color depends on its relationship with light and skin tone, so you won't know for sure until you actually apply it on your lips.

By the way, it is not hygienic to use a single red brush repeatedly for customers who come one after another due to the risk of AIDS. For this reason, when checking the color of lipstick, I sometimes apply it on my hands instead of applying it directly to my lips, but it is difficult to judge the subtle differences in color, and sometimes I am required to actually try applying it on my lips. many.

For this reason, in the past, the red brushes used by each customer were disposable, but in some cases, a single customer may use several to more than a dozen brushes for different colors, and cosmetics stores have discontinued the use of red brushes. However, there is a strong demand for red brushes that can be purchased at lower prices and save resources, as they do not lead to sales.

It was against this background that the inventor came up with this invention, which is an alternative to the traditional brush made of horse hair tied together at the base, and which is durable enough to apply lipstick. The aim is to provide something that can benefit people.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention provides an applicator member made of a rod-shaped cosmetic applicator material such as a single-cell foam material, the tip of which is formed into a cosmetic applicator shape, and the base end of which is formed into a V-shaped constriction at the center. and a cylindrical body having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the applicator, the base end of the applicator being pushed into the cylindrical body.

Cosmetic application materials include single-cell foam, open-cell foam, EPT (ethylene propylene terpolymer),
NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene), nonwoven fabric,
It can be made of paper or the like, has enough elasticity to be soft when pressed with a finger, and can be used to apply cosmetics such as lipstick.

Most rods are solid, but some have a small hole in the center. A diameter of 4 mm to 10-odd mm is used.

The cosmetic application shape, in the case of lipstick, is a shape with a pointed tip to draw fine lines, and the shape is determined depending on the cosmetic.

A V-shaped constriction is a shape in which the center is constricted and both sides remain. The opening angle of the V-shaped constriction is preferably 40 to 60°.

The fact that the inner diameter of the cylinder is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the application member means that it is small enough that it cannot be inserted into the cylinder unless it is forcibly pushed into the cylinder by crushing the base end of the application member with your fingers. It's big enough to fit in if you push it into the room.

The inner diameter and outer diameter refer to the size of the end surface, and the end surfaces of the application member and the cylinder are mainly circular, but elliptical and polygonal shapes can also be used.

[Effect]

The application member only needs to be a single foam material or other bar-shaped cosmetic application material, so urethane, EPT,
Mass production is easy using materials such as NBR. Furthermore, since this material only needs to be rod-shaped, it is easy to mold and can be provided as an extremely inexpensive material.

Moreover, since the base end of the application member is simply pushed into the cylinder, after the application member is used, it can be removed from the cylinder, thrown away, and used by pushing in a new application member.

Furthermore, since the applicator member is formed with a V-shaped constriction at the center of the base end, when the circumferential surface of the base end having the V-shaped constriction is pushed in the direction in which the V-shape closes, the base end will move forward. It has a tapered cannonball shape and can be easily inserted into the cylinder, and when you release your hand after insertion, the V-shape opens back to its original shape, and the outer peripheral surface of the constriction of the V-shape is symmetrical to the inner surface of the cylinder. Since it is pressed and held, the time required to replace the application member can be shortened. In addition, since the V-shaped constriction opens and presses against the cylinder from the inner surface, the stiffness necessary for applying the cosmetic with the application member was also obtained.

〔Example〕

The drawings show an embodiment of the present invention, and in the drawings, 1 indicates an applicator member, and 2 indicates a cylindrical body. The application member 1 in this example is suitable for lipstick.

The application member 1 is made of a rod-shaped cosmetic application material made of foamed EPT resin, and has a V-shaped protrusion at its tip and a V-shaped constriction 3 at its base. The V-shape at the tip and the V-shape at the base are the same shape.

The V-shaped slope 4 at the tip is used when applying lipstick. The V-shaped tip 5 is used for drawing thin lines.

The V-shaped constriction at the base end is inserted into the cylindrical body 2.

In this example, the length a of the applicator 1 was 15 mm, the diameter b was 5 mm, the inner diameter c of the cylinder 2 was 4.5 mm, and the opening angle d of the V-shape was 50°.

To insert the application member 1 into the cylinder 2, the base end of the application member 1 is pushed into the cylinder 2 with the base end pressed in a direction that crushes the V-shaped constriction 3, and then the hand is released. This allows the application member to reach the bottom of the V-shape and be used as a red brush. Furthermore, V
You can also push it in a little harder after inserting it all the way to the bottom of the glyph.

Next, a method for manufacturing the coating member of this example will be explained.

First, while foaming the EPT resin,
A long and thin rod-shaped cosmetic application material 10 is formed. Next, the rod-shaped cosmetic application material is cut into application members 1 having a length of 15 mm by a cutting means having a plurality of V-shaped cutting blades 11 arranged in parallel. As a result, the distal end is formed into a cosmetic application shape having a V-shaped protrusion, and the base end is formed into a V-shaped constriction.

Figure 8 shows another embodiment, in which the V-shaped tip at the tip is rounded, and by forming the V-shaped tip at the tip into a round shape, it can be applied to a wide area such as a foundation. Suitable for applying paints.

FIG. 9 also shows another embodiment, in which a stepped portion 13 is formed at the opening end of the V-shaped constriction at the base end.

[Effect of idea]

Since the present invention is as described above, it has been possible to provide a cosmetic application member that can be manufactured at extremely low cost and that can be easily replaced.
