Description

  The present invention relates to an eyelash curler used for curling eyelashes, and an eyelash curler adapter used by being detachably attached to the eyelash curler.

  Conventionally, the existence of tools used for curling eyelashes, that is, eyelash curlers (also referred to as “Buhler”) is well known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3). The principle structure is that the movable pressing member is pushed up and pressed against the curved plate-shaped fixing member along the front surface of the eyelid, so that the lower edge of the fixing member and the upper surface of the movable pressing member are The eyelashes sandwiched between them are bent and curled.

  On the other hand, by simply pushing up the movable pressing member from below with respect to the fixed member, the eyelashes become a lump or protrude in a disjointed direction between the lower edge of the fixed member and the upper surface of the movable pressing member. As a result of being pinched, there is a case in which it is curled in a state where it protrudes apart. In order to cope with this, it has also been proposed to attach an adapter having a coil-shaped hair-styling part to the upper surface of the movable pressing member (see, for example, Patent Documents 4 and 5).

JP-A-57-152201 JP 11-178629 A JP 2008-272320 A JP 2009-78031 A JP 2010-259539 A

  However, when an adapter having a coiled hair-styling part is attached to the movable pressing member, the coiled hair-styling part is placed close to the eyeball when the fixing member is placed along the front surface of the eyelid or when the eyelashes are sandwiched. Therefore, the user may be afraid or forced to pay more attention than usual to the operation. In addition, when such an adapter is attached to the movable pressing member, the hairpin is pressed against the lower edge of the plate-like fixing member in a state where the tip side of the eyelash is substantially restrained by entering the coiled hair-stitching portion from above. If the movable pressing member is pressed too much as a result of being bent sharply into a shape, all the eyelash tip ends have a curl shape that extends upward in a so-called year-round state, and it is difficult to have a curl shape that extends obliquely forward. On the contrary, when the pressing of the movable pressing member is insufficient, the curl shape becomes unstable.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an eyelash curler that can easily and reliably apply a predetermined curl to eyelashes without causing inconvenience or the like to a user. And it is providing the adapter for eyelash curlers.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the invention according to the eyelash curler, a plate-like fixing member that is curved in the left-right direction along the eyelid, and wider than the plate thickness of the lower edge of the fixing member and below the fixing member. A movable pressing member having an elastic pressing portion extending in the left-right direction in a state of being opposed to each other at a lower position with respect to the edge, and supported so as to be movable up and down toward the lower edge of the fixed member. Thus, the following specific execution is provided for an eyelash curler configured to curl the eyelashes by sandwiching the eyelashes between the elastic pressing portion and the lower edge of the fixing member. That is, the eyelash alignment adapter is detachably attached to the fixing member. A main body having a curved shape that expands in the left-right direction and protrudes forward along the eyelid, and at least a central portion in the left-right direction of the main body and opposite to the movable pressing member It is assumed that it is composed of a bent portion that bends forward from a portion on the upper side that is the side and extends obliquely upward. The adapter has a curved shape extending over a range in the left-right direction of the fixing member, and corresponds to the back surface portion formed in a shape that can be in close contact with the front surface of the main body portion, and the formation range of the bent portion of the back surface portion. A magnet member provided in the left-right direction range for detachably attaching the back surface portion to the front surface of the fixing member by an attracting force based on magnetic force, and an eyelash alignment portion having a serrated uneven shape facing downward Shall be provided. When the upward pressure acting on the adapter is applied to the magnet member when the elastic pressing portion is pressed against the lower edge of the fixing member by the raising operation of the movable pressing member, the back surface portion is applied to the fixing member. While maintaining the adsorbed state, the adapter is allowed to move upward and the upper end side corner portion of the back surface portion is allowed to slide from the main body portion of the fixed member to the bent portion. When the upward pressure is eliminated by the lowering operation, the upper end side corner portion of the back surface portion is slid downward along the bent portion based on the adsorption force, and the back surface portion is in close contact with the main body portion. It was decided to set the magnetic force to such an extent that it could be restored to the maximum (claim 1).

  In the case of the eyelash curler of the present invention, if the movable pressing member is lifted, the root portion of the eyelashes can be sandwiched between the elastic pressing member and the lower edge of the fixing member to fix the position. Just before fixing the position by this clamping, the tip side part of the eyelash enters the concave part of the irregularly shaped eyelash alignment part of the adapter, respectively, and is evenly dispersed. Aligned to extend upward. Next, when the movable pressing member is further raised upward, the lower edge of the fixing member bites into the elastic pressing portion deeper and curls against the eyelashes, while the elastic pressing portion acts on the eyelash alignment portion of the adapter. Under the pressure, the adapter is displaced upward while maintaining the suction state with the fixing member. That is, with the upward movement of the elastic pressing portion of the movable pressing member, the adapter is also accompanied by upward displacement with the eyelashes entering the eyelash alignment portion, and the lower edge of the fixing member is inside the elastic pressing portion. Therefore, it is possible to ensure that the curl is performed by allowing deeper penetration. When the curling work for the eyelashes is finished with the pressing for a predetermined time and the movable pressing member is lowered, the upward pressure until then disappears, and the attractive force of the magnet member acts preferentially. The upper end side corner portion of the back surface portion is slid along the bent portion, and the back surface portion is lowered to the original state adsorbed in close contact with the front surface of the fixing member and automatically restored. That is, following the lowering operation of the movable pressing member, the adapter is automatically restored to the original mounting state. As described above, the adapter plays a role of aligning the eyelashes in a dispersed state and extending in a predetermined oblique upward direction during the curling operation, and performs an operation of pressing the elastic pressing portion against the fixed member based on the lifting operation of the movable pressing member. In doing so, it also serves as a shock absorber that follows the application of the pressing force of the elastic pressing member. Accordingly, it is not necessary to perform a pressing operation with care to adjust the force, and uniform curling can be performed. Moreover, when the curling work based on the pressing operation is completed and the operation force is released, the adapter is automatically restored to the original mounting state, so that the next curling operation on the eyelashes can be immediately performed. In other words, overlapping curling operations on the same eyelashes (for example, the same root portion is sandwiched multiple times, or the position where the elastic pressing portion and the lower edge of the fixing member are sandwiched is changed from the root portion of the eyelash to the intermediate portion, Further, it is possible to immediately perform a curling operation on the eyelashes of the adjacent eyes or a curling operation of the eyelashes of the adjacent eyes.

  Further, in the invention relating to the eyelash curler adapter, a plate-shaped fixing member curved in the left-right direction along the eyelid, and wider than the plate thickness of the lower edge of the fixing member and below the lower edge of the fixing member A movable pressing member having an elastic pressing portion extending in the left-right direction in a state of being opposed to each other at a position and supported so as to be movable up and down toward the lower edge of the fixed member. The eyelashes are curled by sandwiching the eyelashes between the upper part and the lower edge of the fixing member, and the fixing member expands in the left-right direction and protrudes forward along the eyelid. A main body having a curved shape, and a bend extending forward and obliquely upward from a portion on the upper side that is at least a central portion and opposite to the movable pressing member with respect to the left-right direction of the main body Targeting curler consisting of, as an adapter for eyelash alignment used detachably mounted to the fixing member of the eyelash curler, it was decided to include the following specific matters. That is, it has a curved shape extending over a range in the left-right direction of the fixing member, and a left-side direction corresponding to the formation range of the bent portion of the back-side portion formed in a shape that can be in close contact with the front surface of the body portion A magnet member for detachably attaching the back surface portion to the front surface of the fixing member by an attractive force based on a magnetic force provided in a range, and an eyelash alignment portion having a serrated uneven shape downward. And When the upward pressure acting on the adapter is applied to the magnet member when the elastic pressing portion is pressed against the lower edge of the fixing member by the raising operation of the movable pressing member, the back surface portion is applied to the fixing member. While maintaining the adsorbed state, the adapter is allowed to move upward and the upper end side corner portion of the back surface portion is allowed to slide from the main body portion of the fixed member to the bent portion. When the upward pressure is eliminated by the lowering operation, the upper end side corner portion of the back surface portion is slid downward along the bent portion based on the adsorption force, and the back surface portion is in close contact with the main body portion. It was decided to set the magnetic force to such an extent that it can be restored to the maximum (claim 2).

  In the case of the present invention, if the adapter is attached to the fixing member, the same effects as those of the invention according to claim 1 can be obtained.

  As described above, according to the eyelash curler of the first aspect, when the movable pressing member is lifted, the tip side portion of the eyelashes is dispersed and inserted into the concave portions of the irregular-shaped eyelash alignment portion of the adapter. In the state where the eyelashes are uniformly dispersed, the base portion of the eyelashes can be sandwiched between the elastic pressing member and the lower edge of the fixing member, and the eyelashes can be fixed to the concave portions. By entering, it can be aligned so as to extend obliquely upward with respect to the front. As the elastic pressing portion of the movable pressing member moves upward, the adapter can also be displaced and accompanied with the eyelashes entering the eyelash alignment portion. It is possible to ensure that the curl is performed by allowing deep intrusion. In this way, it is possible to perform a pressing operation for curling after aligning the eyelashes in a uniformly dispersed state. On the other hand, when the curling work for the eyelashes is finished with the pressing for a predetermined time and the movable pressing member is lowered, the upward pressure up to that point disappears, and instead the attracting force of the magnet member that acts predominantly, the back surface of the adapter The adapter can be automatically restored by sliding the upper end side corner portion of the portion along the bent portion to the original state where the back surface portion is adhering to the front surface of the fixing member in a close contact state. That is, the adapter can be automatically restored to the original mounting state following the lowering operation of the movable pressing member. As described above, the adapter can play the role of aligning the eyelashes in a dispersed state and extending in a predetermined oblique upward direction during the curling operation, while the elastic pressing portion is fixed to the fixing member based on the lifting operation of the movable pressing member. When the pressing operation is performed, the shock absorber that follows the application of the pressing force of the elastic pressing member can also play a role. Accordingly, it is not necessary to perform a pressing operation with care to adjust the force, and uniform curling can be performed. Moreover, when the curling work based on the pressing operation is completed and the operation force is released, the adapter is automatically restored to the original mounting state, so that the next curling operation on the eyelashes can be immediately performed.

  Further, according to the adapter for eyelash curlers of the second aspect, by mounting the adapter on the fixing member, it is possible to obtain the same effect as that of the invention according to the first aspect.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows the eyelash curler 3 with the adapter 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention attached (adapter attached state), FIGS. 2 to 4 show the eyelash curler 3 without the adapter attached, and FIGS. Each is shown. The left side view of the adapter 2 appears symmetrically with the right side view of FIG. The adapter 2 is detachably attached to a fixing member 33 (to be described later) of the eyelash curler 3 by the attraction force of the magnet members 22, 22, and the eyelashes to be curled are dispersed in a predetermined state by the serrated eyelash aligning portion 25 on the lower surface side. It is used for alignment so as to extend obliquely upward.

  The eyelash curler 3 shown in FIG. 1 has a characteristic configuration in which a bent portion 332 formed in a fixing member 33 described later exhibits a shock absorber function (details will be described later) of the adapter 2 in relation to the adapter 2 according to the present invention. On the other hand, the other configuration is similar to the well-known one and is illustrative. That is, the eyelash curler 3 includes a pair of operation levers 31 and 32 that are rotatably coupled around the rotation axis X1 by a pin 30, a fixing member 33 that is fixed to the distal end side of the first operation lever 31, and a second operation lever. And a movable pressing member 34 that is moved up and down by 32. The first operating lever 31 is formed with a finger hooking portion 310 at the base end position, and the tip end side is divided into a bifurcated shape from the pin 30 and a pair of support rods 35 and 35 are integrally formed. The fixing member 33 is fixed so as to be spanned between the distal ends of the pair of support rods 35, 35, and is movable with respect to the pair of support rods 35, 35 in a lower range than the fixing member 33. Both end portions of the pressing member 34 are supported so as to be movable up and down. Further, the second operating lever 32 has a finger hooking portion 320 formed at the proximal end position, and an insertion hole 36 parallel to the rotation axis X1 is formed at a portion on the distal end side from the pin 30, and is linked to the insertion hole 36. A base end portion of a member 37 (a pair of two parts shown in the figure is illustrated) is rotatably inserted around and supported by a rotation axis X2 parallel to the rotation axis X1. If the distal end portion of the link member 37 is connected to the lower surface of the movable pressing member 34 and the second operation lever 32 is operated to be closed like a scissors so as to approach the first operation lever 31 around the rotation axis X1, Ascending operation force acts on the movable pressing member 34 via the link member 37, and the movable pressing member 34 rises from the solid line in FIG. 1 to the state of the one-dot chain line. It comes to descend.

  Next, the fixed member 33 and the movable pressing member 34 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The fixing member 33 is formed of a curved strip-shaped metal thin plate, and expands in the same direction as the extending direction of the support rods 35, and is curved in a forwardly convex arc shape between the support rods 35 and 35. 331 and a central range R between the left and right support rods 35, 35 of the main body 331 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 4) and about 1/3 in the vertical direction in relation to the adapter 2 described later. In the upper range, a bent portion 332 that is bent obliquely forward from the main body portion 331 and extends obliquely upward is provided. Such a bent portion 332 may be formed at least at the center position of both support rods 35 and 35. The movable pressing member 34 has a receiving portion 341 which is connected to the lower surface of the upper end of the link member 37 and opens upward while being curved in the same manner as the main body portion 331. And an elastic pressing part (for example, made of rubber) 342 that protrudes from the side. When the support rods 35 are inserted into both ends of the receiving portion 341, and the lifting operation force is transmitted from the link member 37, the movable pressing member 34 is guided to move up and down along the support rod 35. When the second operating lever 32 is closed to the closing operation position P1 (see FIG. 1) with respect to the first operating lever 31, the movable pressing member 34 is lifted and the upper surface of the elastic pressing portion 342 is fixed to the fixing member. 33, the lower edge 333 of the main body portion 331 is in close contact with a slightly bited state (for example, about 0.5 mm) (see FIGS. 2 and 3), and the second operation lever 32 is made elastically restoring force of the elastic pressing portion 342. If the closing operation position P2 (see FIG. 1) on the first operation lever 31 side is applied to perform the closing operation, the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 bites into the elastic pressing portion 342 more deeply. At the same time, the elastic pressing portion 342 pushes up the adapter 2 as will be described later.

  FIG. 3 illustrates the state of eyelashes when the curl operation is performed only with the eyelash curler 3 without mounting the adapter 2 according to the present invention. In this case, curling is performed with the leading ends of the eyelashes K, K,... After being bent at the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 extending in a disjoint direction.

  Next, the adapter 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The adapter 2 is formed using a transparent or translucent synthetic resin so as to have a shape corresponding to the shape of the main body 331 of the fixing member 33 of the eyelash curler 3. That is, the entire shape viewed from the front (see FIG. 5A) is curved so as to draw a convex curve slightly upward, and the entire shape viewed from the plane (see FIG. 6A) is convex forward. Curved to draw a curve. The back surface portion 21 (see FIG. 5B) has a vertical dimension that is substantially the same as that of the main body portion 331 of the fixing member 33, and is a curved surface that can be in close contact with the substantially entire surface of the main body portion 331. An appropriate number (one or two or more) of magnet members (for example, neodymium magnets) 22 and 22 are embedded so as to exert a predetermined attracting force (magnetic force) on the main body portion 331 at an upper position within the range R near the center. ing. In the illustrated example, two magnet members 22, 22 elongated in the left-right direction are arranged at a predetermined interval and embedded so that the surface is exposed. In addition to this, a predetermined number of button-shaped magnet members may be disposed so as to exert a predetermined magnetic force, or only one elongated member may be disposed if a predetermined magnetic force is exhibited. Or, it may be arranged in an embedded state inside. As an arrangement method, insert molding may be performed at the time of synthetic resin molding, or a predetermined recess may be formed at the time of synthetic resin molding and bonded after molding. The forming material is preferably a transparent or translucent synthetic resin, but may be opaque. It is considered that a material that transmits light, such as transparent or translucent, improves the visibility when performing the curling operation along the eyelid with the fixing member 33, and facilitates the curling operation.

  The upper surface side of the adapter 2 has a mountain shape in cross section with an inwardly inclined surface portion 23a having an oblique downward slope toward the back surface portion 21 side and an outwardly inclined surface portion 23b having an obliquely downward gradient toward the front surface portion 24 side. It is formed to be a mold (see FIG. 8). A sawtooth-shaped eyelash aligning portion 25 is formed on the lower surface side of the adapter 2. The eyelash aligning portion 25 is formed by repeatedly forming a concave groove 251 and a convex portion 252, and the illustrated example has an inverted V-shaped cross-sectional shape and a large number of concave portions extending in the radial direction in plan view. Are arranged so as to be continuous in the arc direction via a convex portion 252 having a V-shaped cross-sectional shape, and are formed in a sawtooth shape. The concave groove may be formed to have an inverted U-shaped cross section. In addition, each concave groove 251 is formed such that the depth on the front surface portion 24 side (vertical direction from the lower surface side to the upper surface side) is larger than that on the rear surface portion 21 side. The groove bottom is formed so as to be inclined obliquely upward from the back surface portion 21 to the front surface portion 24. Accordingly, as described later, the eyelashes can be aligned so that the eyelashes extend obliquely forward in the curling operation. In particular, the left and right end portions 23c and 23c of the outward slope portion 23b of the adapter 2 are set to have a rounded shape in consideration of contact with an eyelid or the like.

  Next, the curl operation using the eyelash curler 3 to which the adapter 2 is attached will be described. First, the adapter 2 is attached to the front surface of the main body 331 of the fixing member 33 of the eyelash curler 3 (see FIGS. 1 and 9). When the back surface portion 21 of the adapter 2 is brought closer to the fixing member 33 main body portion 331, the back surface portion 21 is brought to the front surface of the main body portion 331 by the magnetic force of the magnet members 22 and 22 (for example, see FIG. 5B). It will be automatically attracted and put on. In this mounted state, the back surface portion 21 is maintained in close contact with the front surface of the main body portion 331 (see FIGS. 10A and 10B), and the corner portion between the back surface portion 21 of the adapter 2 and the inwardly inclined surface portion 23a. However, it will be located in the inclination conversion part of the main-body part 331 and the bending part 332 (refer Fig.10 (a)). In this mounted state, the lowermost portion of the adapter 2 (the tip portion of the convex portion 252 of the eyelash aligning portion 25) is at the same position as the lower edge 333 position of the fixing member 33 or slightly (for example, 0). It is preferable that it is positioned at the upper position. Therefore, the vertical dimension of the back surface portion 21 is set such that the lowermost portion of the adapter 2 is positioned slightly above the lower edge 333 position. That is, if the movable pressing member 34 is lifted, the base portion of the eyelashes can be sandwiched between the elastic pressing member 342 and the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33, and the position can be fixed. This is because the tip side portion of the eyelashes enters the respective concave grooves 251 of the irregularly shaped eyelash aligning portion 25 of the adapter 2 immediately before or before the position fixing so as to be uniformly dispersed. In addition, when the movable pressing member 34 is further moved upward, the adapter 2 is also moved upward and displaced, so that the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 bites into the elastic pressing portion 342 more deeply. This is to allow the curling to the eyelashes more reliably. The reason why the lowermost position of the adapter 2 is not positioned below the position of the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 is as follows. If the lowermost part of the adapter 2 is positioned below the lower edge 333, the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 is hidden at the lowermost part of the adapter 2, and usually around the eyes using a mirror. This is because it becomes difficult for the user who performs the curling operation while confirming the above. Further, the inclination changing portion (see FIG. 10A) between the main body portion 331 and the bent portion 332 has some corner portions remaining in accordance with the corner portions of the back surface portion 21 and the inwardly inclined surface portion 23a of the adapter 2. However, it is preferable that the adapter 2 has a moderation feeling at the time of return follow-up of the adapter 2 as will be described later. .

  Then, the eyelash curler 3 (see FIG. 1) with the adapter 2 attached is gripped by placing the thumb and index finger of the user on the finger rests 310 and 320, and the rear surface side of the fixing member 33 is the front surface of the user's eyelid. By adjusting the position so as to follow, the eyelashes are projected forward from the upper and lower portions of the fixed member 33 and the movable pressing member 34. Next, by holding the first operating lever 31 at the same position and closing the second operating lever 32 to the closing operation position P1, the movable pressing member 34 is raised and the elastic pressing portion 342 is fixed to the fixed member 33. So as to be in close contact with the lower edge 333 (see FIGS. 11A and 11B). As a result, the eyelash K has its root portion sandwiched between the elastic pressing portion 342 and the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 and is fixed in position, and the tip side portion from this root portion is the eyelash alignment portion 25 of the adapter 2. Each of the grooves 251 individually enters the groove 251 and is guided by the groove bottom of each groove 251 so as to extend obliquely upward with respect to the front. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the eyelashes K from being fixed in the disoriented direction or to be agglomerated, and to align the eyelashes K in a dispersed state and in substantially the same direction. During this operation, since the adapter 2 is mounted on the front surface of the fixed member 33, there is no particular dive into the user's field of view, and there is a fear as if attached to the conventional movable pressing member side. It doesn't make the user feel the heart.

  Next, the movable pressing member 34 is further lifted by applying a force to the second operating lever 32 against the elastic restoring force of the elastic pressing portion 342 and closing the second operating lever 32 to the closing operation position P2. By operating, the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 is further bitten into the elastic pressing portion 342 (see FIGS. 12A and 12B). By further raising of the elastic pressing portion 342, upward pressure (pressure to be raised) from the elastic pressing portion 342 is also applied to the eyelash alignment portion 25, which is the lower surface of the adapter 2, in the shear direction with respect to the attracting force of the magnet members 22 and 22. Act on. As a result, the adapter 2 is displaced in the upward direction from the main body portion 331 of the fixing member 33 toward the bent portion 332. That is, the corner portion between the back surface portion 21 and the inwardly inclined surface portion 23 a of the adapter 2 passes over the inclination conversion portion of the main body portion 331 and the bending portion 332 and slides on the bending portion 331. At this time, the adapter 2 is kept attracted to the fixing member 33 by the magnet members 22 and 22. As described above, the adapter 2 is maintained in the attracted state with respect to the fixed member 33 when the movable pressing member 34, that is, the upward pressing force is applied from the elastic pressing portion 342 based on the closing operation force up to the closing operation position P <b> 2 by the user. However, the magnet members 22 are set so as to have a magnetic force that allows the upward displacement toward the bent portion 332 side.

  By the closing operation to the closing operation position P <b> 2, the eyelashes K are bent greatly at the base portion from the lower edge 333 of the fixing member 33 that has digged deeper into the elastic pressing portion 342, and the tip side portion is connected to the elastic pressing portion 342. , It is sandwiched between the concave grooves 251 of the eyelash alignment portion 25 and protrudes obliquely upward with respect to the front. At this time, the adapter 2 is displaced upwardly following the rise of the elastic pressing portion 342, so that a restraining pressing force that bows to the tip side portion of the eyelash K is eliminated, and the eyelash K The shock absorber function that keeps the curl in almost the same direction will be exhibited.

  If the closing operation force is loosened after curling the eyelashes K by maintaining the closing operation state to the closing operation position P2 for a predetermined time, the movable pressing member 34 moves away from the lower edge 333 of the fixed member 33. Descend. As the movable pressing member 34 is lowered, the upward operating force with respect to the adapter 2 is lost, so that the attracting force by the magnet members 22 and 22 dominates. The corner portion with the inwardly inclined surface portion 23 a is lowered along the bent portion 332 of the fixing member 33, reaches the position of the inclined conversion portion between the main body portion 331 and the bent portion 332, and the back surface portion 21 of the adapter 2 is the front surface of the main body portion 331. At the time of close contact, the original suction state is restored and the descent stops (see FIG. 13). As described above, the adapter 2 follows the lifting and lowering operation of the elastic pressing portion 342 (movable pressing member 34) while maintaining the suctioned state with respect to the fixed member 33, and fulfills the function as a shock azosober for the eyelashes K.

  The adapter 2 is detachable so that it can be easily pulled off from the fixing member 33 if it is pinched by the user or can be attached again by the magnet members 22, 22. For example, a mascara is attached. Later, when a curling operation is performed on the mascara, the adapter 2 can be removed and only the eyelash curler 3 can be used for convenience.

<Other embodiments>
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, Various other embodiments are included. That is, for replacement of the adapter 2, a plurality of types having different sawtooth pitches of the eyelash alignment portion 25 on the lower surface side are formed, and other adapters 2 having different pitches from the adapter 2 used so far are formed. You may make it replaceable and can be used.

  As the eyelash alignment portion 25, the groove bottom of each concave groove 251 is formed so as to be inclined obliquely upward with respect to the front.

Claims (1)

A plate-like fixing member that is curved in the left-right direction along the eyelid, and is wider than the thickness of the lower edge of the fixing member and is opposed to the lower edge of the fixing member in the left-right direction. A movable pressing member having an elastic pressing portion that extends and supported so as to be movable up and down toward the lower edge of the fixed member, and when the movable pressing member is lifted, the elastic pressing portion and the lower edge of the fixing member An eyelash curler configured to curl the eyelashes by sandwiching the eyelashes in the vertical direction,
An adapter for aligning eyelashes detachably attached to the fixing member;
The fixing member extends in the left-right direction and has a main body portion having a curved shape that protrudes forward along the eyelid, and is at least a central portion in the left-right direction of the main body portion and is opposite to the movable pressing member It consists of a bent part that bends forward from the upper part that is the side and extends obliquely upward,
The adapter has a curved shape extending over a range in the left-right direction of the fixing member, and corresponds to a back surface portion formed in a shape that can be in close contact with the front surface of the main body portion, and a formation range of the bent portion of the back surface portion. A magnet member provided in the left-right direction range for detachably attaching the back surface portion to the front surface of the fixing member by an attracting force based on magnetic force, and an eyelash alignment portion having a serrated uneven shape facing downward Prepared,
When the magnet member receives an upward pressure acting on the adapter when the elastic pressing portion is pressed against the lower edge of the fixing member by the raising operation of the movable pressing member, the magnet member attracts the back portion to the fixing member. The upper end side corner of the back portion is allowed to slide from the main body portion of the fixed member to the bent portion while the adapter is allowed to move upward while maintaining the held state, while the movable pressing member is lowered. When the upward pressure is eliminated, the upper end side corner portion of the back surface portion is slid downward along the bent portion based on the attraction force, and the back surface portion is restored to a state of being in close contact with the main body portion. Set to a magnetic force
Eyelash curler characterized by that.
