Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roller for skin contact, and more particularly to a roller for transferring fine pearl powder to human skin.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Pearl powder has long been used as a cosmetic material and the like, and in China, it has been used as a Chinese medicine not only for application to the skin but also for taking it. The pearl powder contains calcium carbonate as a main component and contains conchiolin amino acid, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, copper, magnesium, zinc, germanium, and the like. It is thought that it is absorbed by skin cells due to the synergistic effect with conchiolin amino acid and exerts its effect.

[0003] In general, when the pearl powder is used for cosmetics or the like, it is common to mix it with water or other liquid to make it a milky liquid and apply it to the skin, and then wash away excess powder. In this case, at present, most of the actual amount of the pearl powder applied by the above method is washed away as surplus powder that does not remain on the skin.

[0004] However, the pearl powder is obtained by crushing pearls generally used for decoration, which are collected from pearl oysters, and are very expensive. It has been desired to efficiently transfer to the skin with a small amount of use, and development of such means has been eagerly desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a skin contact roller capable of easily transferring pearl powder to the skin with a minimum necessary amount of use. For that purpose.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a roller member having at least a layer containing pearl powder formed on a cylindrical substrate, and a roller member rotatably mounted on the roller member. And a roller holding member having a grip portion. Further, according to the present invention, there is provided a skin contact roller characterized in that the layer containing the pearl powder is formed by solidifying a substance containing the pearl powder by compressing under pressure.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The skin contact roller of the present invention will be described below. The roller for skin contact of the present invention is a roller holding member having at least a layer containing pearl powder formed on a cylindrical substrate, and a roller holding member having the gripping portion and rotatably attaching the roller member. And characterized by the following. The skin contact roller transfers the pearl powder to the skin by the user holding the grip of the roller holding member by hand, bringing the surface of the roller member into contact with the skin, and rotating the roller member back and forth. . By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to transfer the pearl powder of the roller member in an appropriate amount and uniformly, thereby achieving the intended purpose.

The type of the pearl powder used in the roller member of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a crushed pearl, and natural freshwater pearl is preferably used from the viewpoint of quality.

The average particle size of the pearl powder used for the roller of the present invention is usually 10 to 300 μm, preferably 50 to 200 μm, more preferably 80 to 100 μm.
It is. Those having such a range are excellent in that a rough feeling is not left after transferring to the skin.

The pearl powder-containing layer component of the roller of the present invention is most desirably 100% of the pearl powder. , Calcium carbonate, silica fine particles, mica and the like can also be added. When a powder component other than pearl powder is added, it is preferable that these particles have a particle size equal to or less than that of pearl powder in consideration of the roughness after transfer to the skin.

The pearl powder-containing layer of the present invention can be formed by a method conventionally used for forming tablets of drugs or the like, for example, a dry method or a wet method. The dry method is a method in which the powder is pressed and compressed as it is, and the wet method is a method in which the powder is wetted with, for example, an ethanol solution containing a binder such as polyethylene glycol to obtain fine granules. This is a method in which the fine granules are dried, sized, pressed and molded. In the present invention, of the above methods, a dry method can be suitably used.

In the present invention, as a method of forming a pearl powder-containing layer on a cylindrical substrate, a layer formed by the pearl powder forming method is cut into a cylinder, covered with the cylindrical substrate, and fixed with an adhesive or the like. And a method of pressurizing and compressing the pearl powder-containing layer including the cylindrical substrate when forming the pearl powder-containing layer.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are views showing a skin contact roller 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The skin contact roller 10 basically includes a roller member 11 and a roller holding member 12 that holds the roller member 11. The roller member 11 is formed of a thick cylindrical body, has a through hole 15, and a pearl powder-containing layer 14 is formed on the outer periphery thereof. On the other hand, the roller holding member 12 has a grip 16. It is desirable that the grip portion 16 is formed in a shape having appropriate comfort when held by the user, and in this example, is formed as a rod having a diameter of 10 mm and a length of 12 to 13 cm. The axis of the grip 16 is in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the roller member 11, and is arranged like an elongated T-shape. The axis of the grip portion 16 may be near the center of the axial length of the roller member 11, or may be slightly displaced. The shape and dimensions of the grip portion are not limited to those illustrated here, but may be any appropriate shapes and dimensions. At one end of the holding portion 16, a connecting portion 17 in which a metal rod smaller in diameter than the holding portion 16 is bent as shown in the drawing is attached. The connecting portion initially extends slightly along the axial direction of the gripping portion 16, and extends upward therefrom at a distance from the circumferential surface of the roller member 11 and along the circumferential direction. Near the upper part of the upper part, it extends rightward at a right angle and further connects to the rotating shaft 18 in a circular arc. The rotation shaft 18 is inserted into the through hole 15 of the roller member 11 and slightly protrudes from the through hole 15. Roller member 1
At both ends of 1, stoppers 19 and 20 are attached to the rotating shaft 18 to restrict the axial movement of the roller member 11. And the roller member 11 is the rotating shaft 1
