Description

  The present invention relates to an eyelash curler for imparting curl to eyelashes, and a rubber elastic pad used therefor.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, eyelash curlers that squeeze lashes between a press head and a horizontally long rubber elastic pad so as to freely come in contact with the lashes and impart curls to the lashes have been widely known.
In such a conventional eyelash curler, the rubber elastic pad is elastically deformed by pressing the rubber elastic pad with the press head in a state where the eyelash is sandwiched between the press head and the rubber elastic pad, The rubber elastic pad bites in with the eyelashes sandwiched by the press head. However, at that time, the rubber elastic pad is compressed in the pressing direction by the press head and elastically deformed into a concave shape, and at the same time, a deformation extending in the lateral direction, that is, in the length direction is also generated. For this reason, the eyelashes sandwiched between the two are displaced and twisted in the lateral direction along with the deformation of the rubber elastic pad, and are curled in a direction different from the natural direction in which the eyelashes grow and extend. There was a risk of hurting.
In addition, as a prior art document of this invention, the following are mentioned, for example.

The second finger hanging lever 5 is composed of a single metal plate material, and includes an extending portion 5a that extends slightly upward from the shaft 6, and a lower portion from the shaft 6. The operation part is provided with the finger hole 5d. A slider member 8 for holding the rubber elastic pad 3 constituting the second embossing portion is rotatably connected to the tip of the extending portion 5a via a shaft 11.
As shown in FIG. 1, the slider member 8 holds a rubber elastic pad 3 that is curved so as to face the curved press head 2 along the ridge at the tip thereof, and the slider member 8 is supported by the bifurcated support member. By sliding along the parallel portions of 4a and 4b, the rubber elastic pad 3 can be moved in the direction of contacting and separating from the press head 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c), the slider member 8 is integrally formed of a transparent synthetic resin plate having a curved surface 8c suitable for coming into contact with the skin near the heel or cheekbone. In addition, a peep hole 8a is formed in the center thereof, and a curved groove portion 8b for holding the rubber elastic pad 3 is formed in the upper side thereof. Sliding portions 8d and 8d that are inserted into the groove portions 14a and 14b of the cylindrical support members 4a and 4b and slide are projected.

Here, the groove 8b is formed in a substantially U-shaped cross section that opens in a direction (upward) facing the press head 2, and extends in a lateral direction while curving so as to face the press head 2. The left and right ends are open. The groove 8b has substantially the same width and length as the rubber elastic pad 3, and the rubber elastic pad 3 formed in a straight line follows the curve of the groove 8b. It is bent and fixed so as to be detachable.

The rubber elastic pad 3 is formed by laminating a plurality of horizontally long rubber layers 30 and 31 having different hardness in the pressing direction of the press head 2 as shown in FIGS. Specifically, the rubber elastic pad 3 includes a first rubber layer 30 (see FIG. 6) that is elastically deformed so that the press head 2 bites in when the press head 2 is pressed, and the first rubber layer. 30, and a second rubber layer 31 made of hard rubber having a hardness higher than that of the first rubber layer 30. The first rubber layer 30 is disposed on the side facing the press head 2, and the second rubber layer 31 is disposed on the bottom side of the groove 8b, and is fitted and fixed in the groove 8b. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable that a part or all of the first rubber layer 30 protrudes from the opening surface of the groove 3b. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the second rubber layer 31 is almost elastically deformed when the press head 2 is elastically deformed to the extent that the press head 2 bites into the first rubber layer 30. It is desirable for the hardness to be such that it does not cause the problem.
In addition, as a rubber material which forms these 1st rubber layers 30 and the 2nd rubber layers 31, a silicone type rubber | gum etc. are each suitably used, However It is not limited to it in particular. The rubber elastic pad 3 can be formed by simultaneously extruding the rubber materials forming the rubber layers 30 and 31.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the first rubber layer 30 is formed in a plate shape having a thin cross section and a substantially rectangular shape, while the second rubber layer 31 is formed on the upper surface of the first rubber layer 31. 30 has two orthogonal inclined surfaces 31a and 31b corresponding to two orthogonal surfaces extending in the length direction, and the other three surfaces extending in the length direction of the second rubber layer 31 are the groove portions. It is a plane along the inner surface of 8b. Then, the rubber elastic pad 3 is formed by integrally laminating the two rubber layers 30 and 31 in contact with the two inclined surfaces 31a and 31b of the second rubber layer 31 and the corresponding two surfaces of the first rubber layer. On the side facing the press head 2, an inclined pressing surface 30 a made of a wide surface extending in the length direction of the first rubber layer 30 and against which the press head 2 is pressed is provided on the rubber elastic pad 3. It is formed toward the inside of the curve. A narrow flat surface 31 c is formed by the upper surface of the second rubber layer 31 at the lower end of the inclined pressing surface 30 a in the rubber elastic pad 3.

  According to the eyelash curler 1 having such a configuration, the rubber elastic pad 3 is elastically deformed so that the press head 2 bites by pressing with the press head 2, and the first rubber layer 30. Since the second rubber layer 31 made of harder rubber and in contact with the first rubber layer 30 is integrally laminated, the pair of first and second finger latch levers 4 and 5 are As shown in FIG. 6, when the eyelash 60 is sandwiched between the head edge 2b of the press head 2 and the inclined pressing surface 30a of the rubber elastic pad 3, the rubber elastic pad 3 is pressed by the press head 2 as shown in FIG. The first rubber layer 30 of the rubber elastic pad 3 is compressed in the pressing direction and elastically deformed into a concave shape, and bites into the rubber elastic pad 3 together with the eyelashes 60 sandwiched by the press head 2. , The deformation that the first rubber layer 30 tends to elongate along with the concave elastic deformation is restricted (that is, suppressed as much as possible) by the hard second rubber layer 31, and thus sandwiched It is possible to prevent the eyelashes 60 from being twisted when being pressed by the press head 2 and thereby damaging the eyelashes 60 as much as possible, and to impart a more natural curl to the eyelashes 60. It becomes possible.

Fig.7 (a) has shown the 1st modification of the rubber elastic pad in the said Example. In the first modified example, the rubber elastic pad 3A is formed by integrally laminating a first rubber layer 32 having a substantially right-angled cross section and a second rubber layer 33 having a substantially rectangular cross section. Specifically, the first rubber layer 32 has one surface out of two surfaces extending in the length direction and perpendicular to each other in contact with the upper surface 33a of the second rubber layer 33 so that the second rubber layer 33 are integrally laminated. By doing so, on the side facing the press head 2 in the rubber elastic pad 3A, a pressing surface 32a consisting of a slope extending in the length direction of the first rubber layer 32, against which the press head 2 is pressed, It is formed toward the inside of the curve of the rubber elastic pad 3A. In addition, at the lower end of the inclined pressing surface 32a of the rubber elastic pad 3A, a corner portion of the first rubber layer 32 extends horizontally to form a narrow flat surface 32b. Further, the width of the upper surface 33a of the second rubber layer 33 and the width of the surface of the first rubber layer 32 in contact therewith are formed approximately equal.
Since the matters relating to the other configurations and operational effects in the first modified example are the same as those in the above embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here in order to avoid duplication of explanation.

FIG.7 (b) has shown the 2nd modification of the rubber elastic pad in the said Example. In the second modification, the rubber elastic pad 3B is formed by integrally laminating a first rubber layer 34 having a substantially rectangular cross section and a second rubber layer 35 having a substantially rectangular cross section.
