Description

  The present invention relates to a puff used for makeup removal and face washing (hereinafter referred to as a face washing puff).

  Conventionally used face-washing puffs are generally flat, for example, oval, entirely covered with a sponge core material with a cloth or the like. However, this conventional face-washing puff mainly removes makeup, dirt, dirt, fat and the like, and little consideration has been given to the effect of the material on the skin.

  There exists patent document 1 as what considered the influence which a raw material has on skin. This is a cushioning material that can remove fats and waste products that are harmful to beauty from the surface of the skin, and provides antibacterial, antifungal and deodorant facial cleansing puffs that do not adversely affect the skin. The face cloth puff is made of a fiber loop pile fabric made by fixing a composite of deacetylated chitin and sericin on the fiber surface. It is characterized by this.

  Adoption of the above fiber is excellent in water absorption, drying, and resistance to mold, and has properties such as acid resistance, alkali resistance, oxidation resistance, reduction resistance, and organic solvent. Is based on the result that it is not affected by cosmetics and face wash, and does not affect the skin.

  And since this fiber is a relatively thin and loop-pile-processed fabric, it has a sweat gland and pores, dirt on the surface such as dirt, and fat and waste products that clog deep in the pores and cause acne. Can be removed. Therefore, the beauty and health of the face will be improved.

  The face-washing puff of the present invention more effectively removes dirt such as dirt and fats and wastes clogging deep in pores and causing acne, further enhancing facial beauty and health. This is achieved by making the fiber fabric a special structure.

  The gist of the present invention is a facial puff comprising 10 to 60 cells / inch of cells, a soft urethane foam material from which cell membranes have been removed as a core material, and the core material encapsulated with a fiber fabric. The textile fabric is a knitted pile knitted fabric, and the pile portion is a knitted or twisted fabric composed of 10 to 90% of microfiber of 1 dtex or less and 90 to 10% of other spun yarn. It is what.

  The constitution of the present invention is as described above, and the object is achieved by using microfiber as a part constituting the fiber fabric, and the ratio is specified without damaging the skin. It has become possible to efficiently remove dirt, fat and waste products on the skin surface.

  The basic structure of the face-washing puff of the present invention is a structure in which a fiber fabric is encapsulated on one side or both sides of a soft urethane foam material. In the former case, the nature of the soft urethane foam is used. It is also possible to wash the face.

  The flexible urethane foam material has a three-dimensional network structure in which the cell film formed at the time of foaming is removed, and has a very excellent foaming effect. The number of cells is about 10 to 60 / inch, and it is preferable that a plurality of flexible urethane foams having different numbers of cells be used in an overlapping manner to improve foaming.

  The essential structure of the fiber fabric is that a microfiber is used. This microfiber is a fiber of 1 dtex or less, and usually a polyester or nylon fiber is preferably used.

  The microfibers are present in the pile portion, and the fibers form a mesh-like microdropper structure or microsponge structure to exhibit effective water absorption and water retention performance. Of course, due to the characteristics of the microfiber, it easily enters between the skin and removes dirt and the like. However, if the pile portion is composed only of microfibers, the skin will be roughened. For this reason, the pile portion is preferably a composite of microfibers and other spun yarns, and the proportion of microfibers is 10 to 90% of the whole. In addition, when various performances are considered, it is preferably 30 to 60%. In the combined use of the microfiber and other spun yarn, either knitting or twisting may be used.

  There are no particular restrictions on the method of manufacturing the microfiber, but (1) direct spinning, (2) sea-island fiber by composite spinning, and (3) cross-sectioned with US-shaped fibers by composite spinning. These are peelable fibers made of a single sheet of fiber, and both require a stretching process. In (2) and (3), there is a method of obtaining ultrafine fibers by dissolving and removing sea components, mechanical chemical peeling, etc. after forming a woven fabric.

  The pile knitted fabric is a knitted fabric having a loop pile shape such as a single-sided or double-sided circular knitted pile structure, tricot knitting, and Russell knitting.

  Other spun yarns are not particularly limited, but for the skin, those using soy protein fiber, polylactic acid fiber, chitin biscose fiber, and cotton are of course well known. Other natural or synthetic fibers may be used.

  For example, soy protein fiber is a regenerated fiber obtained by extracting a globular protein from soybean grains as a raw material and adding a processing agent by a wet prevention method, and is a fiber having moisture permeability, breathability, and soft touch texture.

  The polylactic acid fiber includes, for example, a trade name “Lactron” manufactured by Kanebo Synthetic Co., Ltd., and Patent Document 2 is an example of the manufacturing method. It is a fiber with a silky texture and luster, and is a fiber with little skin irritation.

  Furthermore, as for the chitin bisucose fiber, for example, there is a trade name “Clavion” manufactured by Omikenshi Co., Ltd., and Patent Document 3 is an example of the manufacturing method. This is a product made by fusing chitin and rayon, and is a fiber with excellent heat retention and soft feel.

Japanese Patent No. 2736868

  As described above, the most characteristic feature of the present invention is that the soft urethane foam material from which the cell membrane has been removed is used as a core material, and the knitted or twisted fiber fabric of spun yarn and microfiber that are gentle to the skin. Encapsulated facial cleansing puff, microfiber alone will cause rough skin, but by knitting and twisting the two, the most desirable properties as a facial cleansing puff are expressed. is there.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a face washing puff showing a first embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a face-washing puff, which comprises a soft urethane foam core material 1 from which the cell membrane has been removed, and a pile knitted fabric 2 wrapped around the core material 1. In this example, it is flat and elliptical in plan view. It has a shape. Of course, the shape is not particularly limited.

  The pile knitted fabric 2 is a loop pile processed fabric using 30% of microfiber (polyester fiber) of 1 dtex or less and 70% of normal synthetic fiber (for example, polyester fiber) or natural fiber as other fiber.

  FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the pile knitted fabric 2 is disposed only on one side of a soft urethane foam core material 1. Bonding is performed by any conventional method.

  The flexible urethane foam from which the cell membrane has been removed greatly improves foaming. The number of cells was 25.3 / inch.

  The pile knitted fabric 2 is a fiber in which microfibers (45%) of 1 dtex or less (45%) and lactron (55%) (manufactured by Kanebo Synthetic Fiber) are knitted in a loop shape. Since such a microfiber has a large contact area with the skin, it effectively removes dirt. At the same time, since the cross section of the yarn has a polygonal shape, it has a characteristic that it can remove dirt, that is, has a good effect of removing dirt depending on the soft edge action based on this. Of course, the microfiber alone has a strong effect on the skin, and on the contrary, it will roughen the skin, but this defect is eliminated by making an appropriate amount of knitting or knitting, resulting in a characteristic puff. .

  In other words, due to the presence of an appropriate amount of microfiber, it is possible to remove not only pores, sweat pores, and skin groove dirt but also old horny skin, regain the gloss of the complexion, and make acne keratin. It is also effective in expelling acne.

  The present invention uses polyester as microfiber, polyester as spun yarn, synthetic fiber such as acrylic and nylon, and natural fiber such as cellulose fiber, and uses ultrafine yarn of 1 dtex or less. Since it is a knitted pile knitted fabric, it is soft against the surface of the human skin and exhibits a very good cleaning action. That is, the dirt on the skin surface goes deep into the fine gaps of the skin from the beginning, and effects such as removal of dirt (removal of cosmetics) are achieved. The cleaning operation is simplified by the presence of the soft urethane foam as well as the water retention of the microfiber.
