JP2019-92907

In the eyelash curler 1, the movable clamping body 5 moves up and down in accordance with the opening and closing operations of the levers 10 and 11, and the eyelashes are clamped between the clamping end 9c of the fixed clamping body 3 and the rubber 6 of the movable clamping body 5. It is curled by applying pressure.

However, since the pinching end 9c has a uniform thickness along the circumferential direction, the same force is applied to all eyelashes during pinching, which may prevent the eyelashes from curling in a natural shape. Further, since the pinching end 9c is formed thin and sharp, there is a risk of damaging the rubber 6.

The present invention was made in order to solve the problems of the conventional technology, and it is possible to achieve a natural and beautiful curl by increasing the bending width of the eyelashes, and to curl the eyelashes without damaging the rubber of the movable clamping body. The problem to be solved is to provide equipment.

The eyelash curler according to this embodiment will be described below. This eyelash curler is an item that curls your eyelashes to make your eyes look bigger and more gorgeous.

21 in FIG. 1 indicates the eyelash curler. This eyelash curler 1 includes a pair of support rods 22 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, a fixed clamping body 25 fixed to the upper ends 23 of both support rods 22, and a vertical direction (arrow) along both support rods 22. The movable clamping body 26 is mounted so as to be movable in S and T directions), and front and rear (arrows P and Q) operation levers 27 and 28 are provided to operate the vertical movement of the movable clamping body 26.

The operating levers 27 and 28 are each composed of a pair of levers 27a, 27b, 28a, and 28b. Each support rod 22 extends in a split-leg shape from the upper end of each of the levers 27a, 27b, while a movable clamping body 26 is supported at the upper end of each lever 28a, 28b.

When the opening angle between the operating levers 27 and 28 is increased, the movable clamping body 26 moves downward, while when the opening angle is decreased, the movable clamping body 26 is moved upward, and the fixed clamping body 25 is moved downward. and the movable clamping body 26, and curling becomes possible.

≪Fixed clamping body 25≫
The fixed clamping body 25 will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixed clamping body 25 includes a plate-shaped main body 30 curved into an arc shape and insertion parts 31 formed at both ends 35 of the plate-shaped main body 30.

Each insertion portion 31 is inserted into an insertion hole (not shown) formed in the upper end portion 23 of the support rod 22 and then fixed by caulking. In addition, the insertion part 31 in FIG. 2 represents the state after the said caulking.

The lower part 32 of the plate-like main body 30 serves as a pinching part that pinches the eyelashes when the movable pinching body 26 rises (hereinafter referred to as the pinching part 32). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a wide portion 33 that protrudes in an arc shape in the outer circumferential direction (direction of arrow Q) is bent at approximately the center of the clamping portion 32 in the circumferential direction.

Therefore, the width of the pinching portion 32 in the front-rear direction (P-Q direction) is not uniform, but is maximum at the wide portion 33, and gradually narrows from the wide portion 33 toward both ends 35.

≪Movable clamping body≫
The movable clamping body 26 will be explained based on FIG. 1 and FIGS. 4 and 5. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower ends of the pair of support parts 36 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the levers 28a, 28b, and the movable clamping body 26 is fixed to the upper ends of the support parts 36. .

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the movable clamping body 26 includes an arc-shaped main body 37 curved to have approximately the same curvature as the plate-like main body 30, and insertion holes 39 formed in both ends 38 of the main body 37. , and a rubber tube 40 removably fitted to the main body 37, and the support rod 22 is slidably inserted into the insertion hole 39.

The main body 37 is formed as a rubber case for the rubber tube 40, and has a groove 41 formed in the upper part to accommodate the rubber tube 40. A hole 41a is formed at the bottom of the groove 41, into which the upper end of the support 36 is inserted and fixed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), the rubber tube 40 is formed into a hollow cylindrical shape having a through hole 40a in the axial direction, and as shown in FIG. ing.

However, the groove width of the groove portion 41 (the interval between the groove walls 42 and 43) is different from the conventional example such as Patent Document 1. A dashed-dotted line C in FIG. 4 indicates the formation position of the groove wall in the conventional example, and the groove width is approximately uniform.

On the other hand, the groove width of the groove part 41 is formed to be approximately equal to the width of the pinching part 32 in the front-rear direction, being wide at approximately the center and gradually becoming narrower toward both ends. Therefore, when the rubber tube 40 is accommodated and fitted into the groove 41, it elastically deforms in an arc shape similar to the inside of the groove 41, and although the width at the center in the longitudinal direction is wide, the width gradually becomes narrower toward both ends. transform.

≪Effect≫
In the eyelash curler 21, when the opening angle of the operating levers 27 and 28 is reduced, the movable clamping body 26 rises, and the movable clamping body 26 moves up between the clamping part 32 of the fixed clamping body 25 and the rubber tube 40 of the movable clamping body 26. is compressed, making it possible to curl the eyelashes. At this time, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) In conventional examples such as Patent Document 1, as described above, the thickness of the fixed clamping body 3 is uniform, so the same force is applied to all eyelashes during clamping, making it difficult to curl them in a natural shape.

On the other hand, in the eyelash curler 21, the pinching part 32 is formed wide at substantially the center by the wide part 33, and the substantially center of the rubber tube 40 is also wide. This increases the area that hits the center of the eyelash when it is compressed, making it possible to increase the bending width, which makes it possible to achieve beautiful curls.

In addition, since the wide portion 33 is provided in the pinching portion 32, the rubber tube 40 is soft in contact with the rubber tube 40, and the effect that the rubber tube 40 is not easily damaged can also be obtained.

(2) Normally, human eyelashes are long in the middle of the eyelid and short at the edge of the eyelid. Regarding this point, in the conventional example, since the width of the rubber 6 is uniform, it is possible to curl the eyelashes at the center of the eyelid, but the curling of the eyelid edge tends to be insufficient.

On the other hand, since the rubber tube 40 of the eyelash curler 21 is deformed to have a narrow width at both ends when it is fitted into the groove 41, it is possible to create a small curl in the eyelashes at the edge of the eyelid. You can achieve an overall natural curl.

(3) In the conventional example, since the eyelashes are pinched with the solid rubber 6, the load is strong and the eyelashes may break. On the other hand, the eyelash curler 21 applies pressure using the hollow rubber tube 40, so the contact is gentle and there is no risk of cutting the eyelashes.

(4) If the rubber tube 40 is damaged, a replacement can be easily accommodated and fitted into the groove 41 of the main body 37, so there is no need for gluing or the like, and replacement is easy.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented with modifications within the scope of each claim. For example, the rubber tube 40 may be formed into a hollow quadrangular prism shape, as shown in FIG.
