Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simply and accurately apply a liquid cosmetic to a surface to be applied which has a wide range and is formed of a complicated curve surface.SOLUTION: A liquid cosmetic applicator includes a shaft part 11 and an application part 12 having elasticity. The application part 12 is integrally formed to have an angle relative to the axis of the shaft part 11. In an all over application surface 13 of the application part 12, a planar surface part 14 and a recessed part 15 continuing the planar surface part 14, the whole surface of which is a curved surface 16, are formed, so that the planar surface part corresponds to a planar surface to be applied, and the recessed part corresponds to a surface to be applied formed of a complicated curved surface. Thus, the application surface of the application part surely closely adheres to the surface to be applied so that the liquid cosmetic can be applied thoroughly and simply.

Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid cosmetic application body used for application of liquid cosmetics (hereinafter referred to as “liquid cosmetics”) such as liquid lipstick and lip gloss.

  Conventionally, in a liquid cosmetic application body used for application of a liquid cosmetic material, at least an application portion of the liquid cosmetic application body is a soft material such as a soft resin, an elastomer, or rubber (hereinafter, “soft material”). ), And the application surface of the application part has a spatula shape, or the end face of the cylinder has an oblique plane, that is, the application surface of the application part has a flat surface. As a result, the application surface of the application part is in close contact with the application surface, and the liquid cosmetic can be applied thinly and widely.

  However, since the surface of the application part is formed with a complicated curved surface, such as a lip, for example, if the application surface of the application part is the above-mentioned spatula shape or oblique plane shape, the surface of the lip or the like is elastic. Therefore, the coated portion is in contact with a slight deformation, but cannot be in contact with the entire surface. Furthermore, when the application surface of the application part is flat, the liquid cosmetic cannot be sufficiently held in the application part. As a result, when the liquid cosmetic is applied to a wide range of coated surfaces, the liquid cosmetic must be repeatedly applied, which is very troublesome for the user.

  Therefore, for example, the liquid holding amount in the application part is increased so that the liquid cosmetic can be easily applied over a wide range with a reliable adhesion to a surface to be applied having a complicated curved surface such as a lip. A spatula-shaped application part in a cosmetic application body has a curved surface (see Patent Document 1), and an application surface of the application part is configured by a curved surface and a recess is formed in the center (see Patent Document 2). Proposed.

  Therefore, in the case where the spatula-shaped application part in the liquid cosmetic application body has a curved surface, the application part is a surface to be applied formed of a complicated curved surface, and the curved surface of the application part and the application surface match. While being able to adhere, the amount of liquid cosmetics retained can also be increased.

  However, since it is formed on the extension line of the axis of the shaft part constituting the liquid cosmetic application body together with the application part, in application to the lips, particularly the upper lip, the angle of the application part with respect to the upper lip which is the application surface is set. Since it cannot be taken freely and the curved surface of the application part cannot be fully utilized, the application part does not adhere tightly. Therefore, it is very difficult to apply the liquid cosmetic using the curved surface of the application surface. In addition, in the case where the application surface of the application part is constituted by a curved surface and the concave part is formed in the central part, the angle of the application part can be freely set with respect to the application surface, so that the application surface having a complicated curved surface is formed. While being able to make it adhere | attach firmly with respect to a surface, the holding | maintenance amount of liquid cosmetics can be increased. However, since the periphery of the application surface of the application part is a curved surface, it is difficult to apply the liquid cosmetic so as to clarify the outline of the lips, for example.

JP 2011-125421 A JP 2010-131329 A

  The problem to be solved is that not only a flat surface but also a liquid cosmetic can not be applied evenly and accurately by ensuring that the application part is in close contact with the application surface formed from a complex curved surface. At the same time, the amount of liquid cosmetics retained in the application section is increased and cannot be easily applied over a wide range.

As the first feature,
It is composed of a shaft part and an application part having elasticity,
The application part is integrally formed so as to have an angle with respect to the axis of the shaft part, and one surface of the application part is used as an application surface,
On the coating surface, a planar portion that is planar and a recessed portion that is continuous with the planar portion and has a curved surface as a whole surface or a part thereof are formed.

Therefore, when applying the liquid cosmetic, the angle of the application part can be freely set with respect to the surface to be applied. As a result, the application surface of the application portion, that is, the flat surface portion and the recessed portion are securely adhered to the surface to be coated with elasticity, so that the liquid cosmetic can be easily and uniformly applied.
In particular, in the flat part forming the application surface of the application part, the outline of the outer shape is clear, and the entire flat part is securely adhered to the application surface. As a result, while supplying the liquid cosmetic in the recessed portion, the liquid cosmetic can be applied widely and thinly on the surface to be applied, and the liquid cosmetic can be accurately applied along the details and contours of the mouth corner. .
And in the recessed part which forms the application surface of an application part, while holding liquid cosmetics in this recessed part, the curved surface of all or a part of this recessed part is a to-be-coated surface formed from a complicated curved surface. It will be in close contact with each other. As a result, a large amount of the liquid cosmetic material retained in the recessed portion can be easily applied over a wide range to the surface to be coated.

  Here, the concave part formed on the application surface of the application part adheres firmly to the application surface formed from a complex curved surface while holding the liquid cosmetic, so that the curved surface is the whole of the concave part or It may be a part of it. Furthermore, when increasing the holding amount of the liquid cosmetic material held in the recessed portion, the volume in the recessed portion may be increased by using the inner bottom portion of the recessed portion as a flat surface (see FIG. 5).

  In addition, the elasticity of the application part is necessary for deformation so that the application surface of the application part is in close contact with the surface to be applied. Therefore, the material itself forming the application part may have elasticity, or the application part may have elasticity with the shape of the application part, for example, so that the application part has a thin plate shape. Further, the elasticity of the application part may be made non-uniform so that the elasticity of the application part is made thinner, for example, so that the thickness of the entire application part is reduced toward the tip and the elasticity of the tip is increased.

As the second feature,
In the application surface of the application part having elasticity, the curved surface in the recessed part formed continuously with the flat part is a plurality of curved surfaces having different curvatures.

  For this reason, any curved surface in the concave portion of the application portion is surely adhered to the application surface formed from curved surfaces having different curvatures. As a result, a large amount of the liquid cosmetic material retained in the recessed portion can be easily applied over a wide range to the surface to be coated.

Based on the first feature or the second feature, as the third feature,
In the application surface of the application part having elasticity, the entire surface or a part thereof is subjected to flocking flocking.

  Therefore, more liquid cosmetics are held on the entire or part of the application surface of the application part formed by flocking the application part. As a result, the amount of liquid cosmetic retained in the entire application part is significantly increased, so that a large amount of liquid cosmetic retained in the recessed part with respect to the surface to be applied is uniformly distributed over a wider range. Thus, it can be easily applied.

  In the present invention, the application surface of the application part is formed from a flat part having a flat surface and a concave part that is a curved surface continuous to the flat part, so that the application surface is not only a flat surface but also a complicated curved surface. Even if it is formed, the application surface is firmly adhered, and the liquid cosmetic material is sufficiently retained in the recessed portion, so that the application surface can be applied uniformly and accurately over a wide range. It has an excellent effect that a liquid cosmetic can be easily applied.
