[0027] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily implement the present invention. The present invention can be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. To more clearly illustrate the present invention, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in the drawings, and throughout the specification, the same or similar components are given the same reference numerals.

[0028] Figures 1a to 1c is a schematic view showing a tip applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1a and Figure 1b are views observed from different angles from each other, Figure 1c is a view observed from above, Figure 2 is a view observed from the side Figure 1a thereof.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 1 and Figure 2 , a tip applicator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to apply cosmetics to a user's skin. As an example, the tip applicator 100 can be applied to the skin having a keratinized surface such as the lips.

[0030] Specifically, the tip applicator 100 may include a support part 110, an application part 120, a connection part 130, and a grasping part 132.

[0031] In this embodiment, an example is given where the tip applicator 100 is a cosmetic, especially a lip gloss or the like, for applying cosmetics. However, the idea of the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the tip applicator 100 can also be a beauty product in the form of picking up cosmetics such as lip gloss, eyeshadow, and liquid foundation and applying them to the user's skin.

[0032] The support portion 110 has a predetermined length and is used to support the connection portion 130 and the application portion 120 connected to the end side.

[0033] As described above, the support portion 110 can also be directly connected to the cap 20 that covers the entrance of the storage container 10 storing the cosmetics at one end side, serving as a known brush strip, or it can have a predetermined length and be combined with the brush strip side connected to the cap 20.

[0034] The application portion 120 is used to contact the user's skin and apply the cosmetics adhered to the surface. As described above, the application portion 120 can have flexibility (flexibility) so that when it contacts the user's skin, the cosmetics can be smoothly applied to the user's skin.

[0035] As an example, the application portion 120 can also be composed of a molded product obtained by injection molding a thermoplastic material, or it can be in the form of flocking formed by bonding a plurality of small fibers to the outer surface of the molded product obtained by injection molding a thermoplastic material through flocking processing. However, the application portion 120 is not limited to this, and it should be clear that as long as it has flexibility such as plastic or sponge and can pick up a certain amount of cosmetics and apply them to the user's skin, it can be used without limitation.

[0036] At this time, the tip applicator 100 according to the present invention can be such that the support portion 110 and the application portion 120 are connected to each other through the connection portion 130 having a predetermined length, and a capture portion 132 can be formed through the inner region of the connection portion 130.

[0037] As described above, when the tip applicator 100 is pulled out after being inserted into the storage container 10 containing the cosmetics, the capture portion 132 side further captures a certain amount of cosmetics, so that the overall capture amount of the cosmetics captured by the tip applicator 100 can be increased.

[0038] Furthermore, the capture portion 132 is formed in the inner region of the connection portion 130, so that during the process of removing the tip applicator 100 from the storage container 10, the cosmetics captured by the capture portion 132 can be prevented from being scraped off or removed by the scraping portion ( Figure 5 、12) formed in the storage container 10.

[0039] Therefore, when applying cosmetics using the application unit 120, the cosmetics further captured by the capturing unit 132 slide toward the application unit 120 side, and the cosmetics are further supplied to the application unit 120 side. Thus, through a single capturing operation, a further application operation can be performed.

[0040] As described above, the capturing unit 132 may also be formed only in the inner region of the connecting unit 130. However, an additional capturing unit 123 may be formed through the inner region of the application unit 120 to be able to capture more cosmetics. The additional capturing unit 123 formed in the application unit 120 may be connected to the capturing unit 132 formed in the connecting unit 130.

[0041] At this time, for the tip applicator 100 according to the present invention, at least a part of the application unit 120 and the connecting unit 130 may be formed by twisting in the height direction while maintaining the capturing unit 132.

[0042] As an example, the connecting unit 130 and the application unit 120 may be in a linear strip shape connected to each other to form a capturing unit 132 and an additional capturing unit 123 inside respectively, and the middle part in the height direction may be formed in a twisted shape like a twist drill at a predetermined angle. For example, the application unit 120 and the connecting unit 130 are in a continuous twisted shape and may have a shape twisted more than once.

[0043] Thus, compared with the case where the application unit 120 and the connecting unit 130 are formed by a flat linear strip shape, the tip applicator 100 according to the present invention can increase the overall cross-sectional area of the capturing unit 132 and the additional capturing unit 123 formed inside the connecting unit 130 and the application unit 120, and thus can further increase the amount of cosmetics captured.

[0044] Furthermore, the application unit 120 and the connecting unit 130 may be configured such that, through the twisted part, the edge side of the specified capturing unit and / or the additional capturing unit 123 has a certain angle with respect to a virtual straight line parallel to the height direction. Thereby, the supply time of the cosmetics supplied to the application unit 120 side after being captured by the capturing unit and / or the additional capturing unit 123 can be extended, and thus the cosmetics can be prevented from sliding excessively toward the application unit 120 side.

[0045] Furthermore, compared with a tip applicator in which the application unit 120 and the connecting unit are formed by a flat linear strip shape, the tip applicator 100 according to the present invention is formed such that the application unit 120 and the connecting unit 130 have a twisted part, so that the application surface can be variously formed such as a wide surface, a narrow surface, a curved surface, etc. Therefore, the user can bring various shaped application surfaces into contact with the skin, and thus can feel various application sensations.

[0046] As a specific example, the coating part 120 may include: a first part 121 formed in a strip shape with one side open; and a pair of second parts 122 extending from both end parts of the first part 121.

[0047] In addition, the connecting parts 130 may extend from the end part of the supporting part 110 by a certain length and form a pair, and the pair of connecting parts 130 may be staggeredly arranged so that they cross at the middle of the length.

[0048] At this time, the pair of second parts 122 may be arranged to face different directions from the end part of the first part 121. Thus, even if the pair of connecting parts 130 are staggeredly arranged with each other, the coating part 120 can be smoothly connected through the pair of second parts 122.

[0049] Thus, a catching part 132 defined by the pair of connecting parts 130 may be formed in the inner area of each of the pair of connecting parts 130, and an additional catching part 123 defined by the first part 121 and the second parts 122 may be formed in the inner area of the coating part 120.

[0050] Among them, the additional catching part 123 may also be formed only in the inner area corresponding to the pair of second parts 122. That is, the coating part 120 may also be in a form in which the inside of the first part 121 is filled.

[0051] At this time, the coating part 120 may be formed such that at least a part of the coating surface formed along the width direction forms the same plane.

[0052] As an example, the coating part 120 may be formed such that the coating surfaces formed on both sides of the first part 121 form the same plane. Thus, when the user draws a line or coats a relatively narrow area, the required coating operation can be completed by using the first part 121.

[0053] On the one hand, the case where the pair of connecting parts 130 are staggeredly arranged so as to cross each other is shown and described in the drawings and the description. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be clear that the pair of connecting parts 130 may also be arranged in parallel with each other, and the twisted part is only formed on the coating part 120 side.

[0054] Furthermore, in the tip applicator 200 according to the present invention, the connecting part 130 may also be the same as the coating part 120 and be composed of a molded product obtained by injection molding a thermoplastic material, or may be in a form in which flocking is formed. The flocking is formed by bonding a plurality of small fibers to the outer surface of a molded product obtained by injection molding a thermoplastic material through flocking processing.

[0055] As a specific example, as Figures 3a to 4 shown, in the tip applicator 200 according to the present invention, belonging to Figures 1a to 2The portion 230 of the connecting part 130 in Figures 1a to 2 can be formed in the same shape as the coating part 120, and the flocking formed on the outside can also be formed along the entire length of the portion 230 of the connecting part 130 in

[0056] Alternatively, Figures 3a to 4 in the tip applicator 200 illustrated in Figure 2 except for the portion 230 of the connecting part 130 in the tip applicator 100 illustrated in

[0057] As an alternative, although not illustrated, it should be noted that in the tip applicator 200 illustrated in Figures 3a to 4 it is also possible that in the portion of the connecting part 130 in Figures 1a to 2 flocking is not formed, and instead, other forms such as plastics or sponges that are flexible and can pick up a certain amount of cosmetics for application to the user's skin are used. Additionally, it should be noted that the same applies to the first part 121 of the coating part 120, and it can be deformed into various forms such as a rod shape or an oval shape, not just a flat coating surface.

[0058] On the one hand, the connecting part 130 applied in the present invention can be integrally formed at the end of the support part 110 or detachably coupled thereto, and the same applies to the coating part 120, which can be integrally formed with the connecting part 130 or detachably coupled thereto.

[0059] The above tip applicators 100 and 200 can be applied in a cosmetic application device.

[0060] That is, as Figure 5 shown, the cosmetic application device can include a storage container 10 and a tip applicator, and the tip applicators 100 and 200 can be all of the above-described forms of the tip applicators 100 and 200.

[0061] As an example, the tip applicators 100 and 200 can include a rod part 30 having a predetermined length with one end fixed to the cap 20, and the end side of the support part 110 can be connected to the rod part 30. However, the application forms of the tip applicators 100 and 200 are not limited thereto, and it is also possible that the support part 110 extends a predetermined length and is directly connected to the cap 20.

[0062] The storage container 10 is used to store a certain amount of cosmetics 40 for application to the user's skin. The storage container 10 can be in the shape of a box with one side open, and the open side can serve as an entrance for the tip applicators 100 and 200 to enter and exit.

[0063] Furthermore, the open side of the storage container 10 that serves as an inlet can be sealed by a cap 20 detachably coupled to the storage container 10.

[0064] In addition, a scraping part 12 can be provided inside the storage container 10 to remove cosmetics adhering to parts other than the coating part 120 when the tip applicators 100 and 200 enter and exit.

[0065] Thus, when not in use, the tip applicators 100 and 200 are coupled with the fixed cap 20 and the storage container 10, thereby preventing the cosmetics stored in the storage container 10 from being released to the outside. When in use, the tip applicators 100 and 200 can be introduced into the inside of the storage container 10. After the coating part 120 picks up the cosmetics, they are applied to the skin of the user.

[0066] On the one hand, the above storage container 10 is a known content, so detailed description is omitted, and it should be clear that all known general forms applicable to the cosmetic application device can be applied.

[0067] Furthermore, as described above, the cosmetic application device can be a device for applying cosmetics, especially lip cosmetics such as lip gloss. However, it is not limited thereto, and it should be clear that it can also be an application device for lip gloss, eyeshadow, and liquid foundation.

[0068] One embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the idea of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed in this specification, and those skilled in the art who understand the idea of the present invention can easily propose other embodiments within the scope of the same idea by adding, changing, deleting, increasing, etc. of the components. However, these also fall within the scope of the idea of the present invention.
