Description

makeup puff

technical field

The present invention relates to a makeup puff for applying cosmetics and the like.

Background technique

Cosmetic puffs for applying cosmetics such as foundation creams to the skin generally use cosmetic puffs 1X as shown in FIG. Thickness, its top 2 and bottom 3 are flat. In addition, in the makeup puff shown in FIG. 8 (Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 11-206447 ) 1Y, a part of its upper surface 2 protrudes, and a thick wall portion 4 and a thin wall portion 5 are formed on one makeup powder puff. The thick wall portion 4 Cosmetics can be easily applied to flat and large areas such as the forehead, and the thin-walled part 5 can easily apply cosmetics to small and uneven areas such as around the nose, and the flat bottom surface 3 is used as an application surface. In addition, in order to easily smear large areas and small areas, there is also a cosmetic powder puff (Japanese Unexamined Publication No. 64-33918) 1Z as shown in FIG. 9 , which is made of cotton, rayon, etc. The fibers intertwine and form a conical shape.

The cosmetic powder puff of the prior art shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 needs to be rolled up on the fingers to form a curved shape to apply cosmetics. The cosmetic powder puff 1Y shown in Fig. 8 has a thick wall locally. Part 4, but the overall thickness is thin, so it is not easy to pinch the makeup puff.

In addition, in these cosmetic powder puffs, the upper surface 2 or the bottom surface 3 is the surface for applying cosmetics, but the upper surface 2 and the bottom surface 3 are also surfaces that are pinched by fingers, so when one cosmetic puff is used repeatedly, it will adhere to the cosmetic powder puff. makeup can stain fingers.

Make-up powder puff 1Z shown in Fig. 9 also similarly carries out smear operation by pinching the front end portion 2z of acute angle on bottom surface 3 side, by pinching front end portion 2z and carrying out smear operation with bottom surface 3, so, front end portion 2z is cosmetics The application surface is also the surface that is pinched by fingers, and fingers are easy to get dirty. In addition, since the conical shape of the makeup puff 1Z is formed by winding cotton fibers or the like around an iron pin as a core, the makeup puff 1Z has poor elasticity and is difficult to apply cosmetics on. In addition, cosmetics are easy to seep into the cosmetic puff 1Z, and the cosmetics are not easily left on the application surface of the cosmetic puff 1Z, so it is not easy to apply the cosmetics.

The object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic powder puff, which is easy to pinch when applying cosmetics with the cosmetic powder puff. Nose, around the eyes, etc. have a lot of bumps and small parts. In addition, when you use a makeup puff repeatedly, your fingers will not be stained.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The inventors of the present invention have studied that the side of the makeup puff is formed into a slope, and the slope is used to apply cosmetics. When applying cosmetics, the cosmetic application surface of the makeup puff can be separated from the surface pinched by fingers. Powder puff for make-up, also keeps fingers from getting dirty. In addition, when applying cosmetics, it is not necessary to wrap the makeup puff around the fingers to bend it, and the gripability of the makeup puff is improved.

That is, the cosmetic puff of the present invention is characterized by comprising a bottom surface and a non-concave-convex slope as a cosmetic application surface, and the thickness of the cosmetic puff gradually increases from the peripheral portion of the bottom surface toward the central portion on the slope.

The best form for carrying out the invention

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, the same code|symbol represents the same or the same structural element. In Fig. 1, (a) is a perspective view of a cosmetic powder puff 1A according to an embodiment of the present invention, (b) is a top view, and (c) is a cross-sectional view along X-X in (a). Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram of a method of using the puff shown in Fig. 1 .

This makeup puff 1A is composed of a flat top surface 2, a flat bottom surface 3, and a flat slope 6, and edges 7 of the bottom surface 3 and the slope 6 are rounded. On the inclined surface 6, the thickness of the makeup puff gradually increases from the peripheral portion of the bottom surface 3 toward the central portion, and the inclined surface 6 is formed in a flat shape without a partially protruding portion.

In the present invention, the fact that there are no irregularities on the slope of the cosmetic puff does not mean that the slope is strictly flat, but that no local protrusions or depressions are formed on the slope. Therefore, as shown in the slope 6 of this makeup puff 1A, the slope without unevenness|corrugation which forms the whole surface into a curved surface is also included.

If a convex portion or a concave portion is formed locally on the forming surface of the makeup puff, cosmetics will remain on the sides of the convex portion or in the concave portion, and this can be prevented by making each forming surface flat.

In this cosmetic puff 1A, the cosmetic puff has a sufficient thickness and the inclined surface 6 has a sufficient width so that the inclined surface 6 can be used as a surface for applying cosmetics. Therefore, when applying cosmetics with this makeup puff 1A, as shown in Figure 2, press the top 2 of the makeup puff 1A with your thumb, and press the bottom surface 3 with your index finger and middle finger, so that you can pinch the makeup puff 1A and put it on. The slope 6 is used as an application surface to apply cosmetics. Therefore, the cosmetic application surface and the finger pressing surface are separated, and even if the cosmetic puff 1A is used repeatedly, the fingers are not stained with the cosmetic adhering to the cosmetic puff 1A. In addition, there is no need to bend the makeup puff 1A around your fingers, and the gripability of the makeup puff 1A can be improved when applying cosmetics. In addition, the central part of the inclined surface 6 is suitable for applying flat and large areas such as the forehead, and the vicinity of the edge 7 of the inclined surface 6 is suitable for applying uneven and small parts such as the nose and around the eyes. Therefore, a makeup puff can be used Compatible with various surfaces to be coated.

When the slope 6 is used as a cosmetic application surface, in order to pinch the cosmetic puff 1A relatively easily, and considering the touch when pinching the cosmetic puff and the ease of applying cosmetics, the maximum thickness L of the cosmetic puff 1A is between 10 and 10. 40mm. In order to be easier to hold and carry, the above-mentioned thickness L is preferably 10-25mm, more preferably 12-16mm.

The included angle θ between the inclined surface 6 and the bottom surface 3 is preferably 30°-60°. In order to make the application surface large and maintain the firmness of the puff, the above-mentioned included angle θ is preferably 45°.

From the point of view of being easy to hold, the size of the bottom surface 3 should be 25mm×25mm～80mm×80mm. From the perspective of ease of use and portability, the size of the bottom surface 3 should be 35mm×35mm～60mm×60mm.

The cosmetic powder puff of the present invention can take various forms as long as it is used as a surface for applying cosmetics without unevenness. For example, the cosmetic powder puff 1A in FIG. 1 has a substantially trapezoidal truncated conical cross section, but it may also have a substantially trapezoidal square truncated cone shape as in the cosmetic powder puff 1B shown in FIG. 3 .

In the cosmetic powder puff 1A shown in FIG. 1 , in the cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the bottom surface 3, the slope 6 is a straight line, but it is also possible to make the slope 6 straight in the cross-sectional shape as the cosmetic powder puff 1C shown in FIG. 4 . Make it into a curved shape. In this case, the radius of curvature R of the inclined surface 6 near the top two sides may be larger than the radius of curvature R of the edge portion 7 .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5(a)(b), the ratio of the upper surface 2 and the bottom surface 3 may be changed, or the fillet curvature of the edges of the bottom surface 3 and the inclined surface 6 may be changed. As shown in the figure (c), it can also be made into a hemispherical shape without a flat top. When the hemispherical makeup puff is used to apply cosmetics, the inclined surface of the cosmetic application surface and the area near the apex of the hemisphere pinched by fingers cannot be separated as the formation surface of the cosmetic puff, but they can be clearly distinguished as areas. Prevents dirty fingers. At this time, the radius of curvature R near the top is reduced to about 2mm, which is similar to the conical shape of the conventional cosmetic puff 1Z shown in FIG. The inclined surface of the surface is not easy to separate from the area near the top pinched by fingers, which will impair the gripability of the puff. Therefore, the radius of curvature R near the top should be greater than the arc R whose diameter is the width of the cosmetic puff. The minimum should be 10mm.

The cosmetic puff of the present invention may have a left-right asymmetric cross-sectional shape. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5(d), several inclined surfaces 6a, 6b having different inclinations can be formed. In addition, the slope as the cosmetic application surface does not necessarily have to be formed on the entire side of the makeup puff, and may be formed on the side 8 perpendicular to the bottom surface 3 as shown in FIG. 8( e ).

In addition, the makeup powder puff of the present invention is not limited to the shape of truncated cone, truncated square, other cones or hemispherical shapes, as shown in Figure 5(f)(g), in its cross-sectional shape, parallel opposing The bevel 6.

As shown in Figure 5(h)(i), the bottom surface 3 can also be made into a concave curved surface, and as shown in Figure (j), the bottom surface 3 can also be made into a convex curved surface.

The cosmetic powder puff of the present invention is preferably made of polyurethane rubber, silicone rubber, nitrile rubber, foam or sponge made of other resins. These foams, sponges, etc. can also be used as foaming materials of known makeup puffs. When fibers such as cotton are wound to form a puff, cosmetics such as powder, ointment, and foundation cream are not easy to adhere to the puff and are not easy to apply.

The manufacturing method of the cosmetic powder puff of the present invention can be the same as that of the powder puff in the prior art. Since the cosmetic powder puff of the present invention has no protrusions or recesses on the upper surface, the bottom surface, or the inclined surface, it is easy to manufacture.

In addition, the storage form of the makeup puff of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, the storage form shown in FIG. 6 may be used. The foundation container 25 is composed of a container 21 , an inner cover 23 and an outer cover 24 . The container 21 is filled with a foundation 20 . The inner lid 23 is connected to the container 21 by a hinge 22 . When the outer cap 24 is screwed onto the container 21, the peripheral portion of the inner cap 23 is pressed against the container 21 to seal the container 21. As shown in FIG. 6( b ), the makeup puff 1A is placed on the inner lid 23 of the foundation container 25 .
