Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a powder puff combined with a spatula and a cosmetic applicator including the same. Background Technology

[0002] Cosmetic materials with a certain viscosity, such as gels or creams, are typically sold in cosmetic containers. These containers mainly consist of a wide-opening body and a screw-on lid that allows the opening of the body to be opened and closed for easy use.

[0003] In order to use the cosmetics contained in the cosmetic container as described above, the user opens the lid, scoops out the cosmetics contained inside the main body with their fingers, and then applies them to their face.

[0004] In such cases, foreign objects stuck to the user's fingers may get into the cosmetics. When these foreign objects are mixed in, bacteria may grow, causing the cosmetics to spoil. Furthermore, the heat generated by the fingers may also cause the cosmetics to deteriorate.

[0005] To solve this problem, a spatula is used instead of fingers to apply makeup to the face. The advantage of a spatula is that it can apply foundation and other base makeup in a thin layer, thus attracting attention not only from professionals but also from non-professionals for its ability to highlight skin texture and create a natural base.

[0006] However, when using a spatula to apply foundation, if the makeup material is simply applied to the face without adhering well to the skin, the foundation may not achieve a high level of finish.

[0007] Therefore, to improve the finish of your base makeup, it's not enough to just apply the makeup material from the spatula to your face; you also need to use a powder puff to blend the makeup material evenly onto your face after applying it from the spatula.

[0008] However, users need to carry a spatula and powder puff separately to perform these processes, which reduces portability and causes inconvenience to users.

[0009] Therefore, there is a need to develop a technology for a cosmetic applicator that combines a spatula and a powder puff into one unit, thereby improving portability and solving user inconvenience.

[0051] This invention can be modified in various ways and has multiple embodiments; therefore, specific embodiments will be exemplified and described in detail in the description. However, this does not mean that the invention is limited to the specific implementation, but should be understood to cover all modifications, equivalents, and even substitutions included in the spirit and scope of the invention.

[0052] The terminology used in this invention is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this invention, terms such as "comprising" or "having" are intended to specify the presence of features, numbers, steps, operations, constituent elements, components, or combinations thereof as described in the specification, without precluding the presence or additional possibilities of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, constituent elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0053] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same reference numerals are used to denote the same constituent elements in the drawings as much as possible. Furthermore, detailed descriptions of well-known functions and structures that may affect the spirit of the invention will be omitted. For the same reason, some constituent elements in the drawings are exaggerated, omitted, or schematically illustrated.

[0054] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 4 A cosmetic applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0055] Figure 1 This is a rear view of a cosmetic applicator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Front view of a cosmetic applicator. Figure 3 It is a diagram. Figure 1 A 3D diagram of a makeup applicator puff combined with a spatula. Figure 4 The diagram is in Figure 1 The image shows the user's finger inserted into the connecting part of the powder puff when the spatula of the makeup applicator is attached to the powder puff.

[0056] refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cosmetic applicator 1 may include a powder puff combined with a spatula 10 and a powder puff 20.

[0057] The powder puff combined with the spatula 10 can apply makeup to the user's face.

[0058] Therefore, the spatula 10 for use with powder puffs may include a spatula body 11 that is attached to the powder puff 20. The spatula body 11 may be made of a material with higher strength than the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, which will be described later.

[0059] The spatula body 11 can be formed into a predetermined shape. The shape of the spatula body 11 can be formed by the top 111, the bottom 112 and the side 113.

[0060] The upper part 111 may include a first upper part 1111, a second upper part 1112, and a third upper part 1113. The first upper part 1111, the second upper part 1112, and the third upper part 1113 may be integrally formed.

[0061] The first upper surface 1111 can be configured with a first distance D1 between it and the lower surface 112. The first upper surface 1111 can have a coating surface 115 for applying cosmetics.

[0062] When the band 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the band connecting portion 114 formed on the side 113 (described later), the application surface 115 can be positioned further outward than the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Therefore, cosmetics can be applied only to the application surface 115 and not to the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Even when the powder puff combining spatula 10 is combined with the powder puff 20, a portion can be provided to prevent the powder puff combining spatula 10 and the powder puff 20 from interfering with each other.

[0063] The second upper surface 1112 can be configured with a second distance D2, which is different from the first distance D1, as a reference to the lower surface 112. For example, the second distance D2 can be smaller than the first distance D1.

[0064] The third upper part 1113 can connect the first upper part 1111 and the second upper part 1112 to form a powder puff exposure space between the first upper part 1111 and the second upper part 1112 for at least a portion of the powder puff 20 to be exposed when combined with the spatula body 11.

[0065] The lower 112 can be positioned relative to the upper 111. The lower 112 can connect a pair of connecting side portions 1133 of the side portion 113 described later to each other.

[0066] A connecting portion 114 may be formed on the side 113. The connecting portion 114 serves as the part for connecting the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 to insert the user's finger, which will be described later.

[0067] Side 113 may include a rear side portion 1131, a front side portion 1132, and a connecting side portion 1133 connecting the rear side portion 1131 and the front side portion 1132. The rear side portion 1131, the front side portion 1132, and the connecting side portion 1133 may be integrally formed.

[0068] The rear side portion 1131 can be configured to face the wide side of the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 when the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connecting portion 114. At least a portion of the rear side portion 1131 can support the user's fingers inserted into the strap 22 of the powder puff 20. The rear side portion 1131 can be understood as the side of the powder puff 20 that does not face the cushion body 21 when it is combined with the spatula body 11.

[0069] When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connector 114, at least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can overlap and be exposed with the exposed space formed between the first upper surface 1111 and the second upper surface 1112. "Exposed" can be understood as the powder puff 20 not being covered by the spatula body 11 when viewed from behind the makeup applicator 1. The user can apply the makeup material adhered to at least a portion 211 of the exposed cushion body 21 to the skin.

[0070] At least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 exposed through the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper part 1111 and the second upper part 1112 can be deformed by pressure applied by the user's fingers.

[0071] like Figure 4As shown, when a user moves their finger from the rear side portion 1131 towards the front side portion 1132, pressure can be transmitted to at least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 exposed through the powder puff exposure space. The pressure transmitted to the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can cause the shape of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 to deform. Because the shape of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 is deformed, the makeup can easily adhere to the undulating areas of the user's face.

[0072] The front side portion 1132 is the part where the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 is positioned when the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connecting portion 114, and can be positioned opposite to the rear side portion 1131. That is, the front side portion 1132 can be understood as the part facing the cushion body 21 when the spatula body 11 and the powder puff 20 are combined.

[0073] When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connecting portion 114, at least a portion of the front side portion 1132 can support the remaining portion of the air cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Therefore, even if the user's fingers apply pressure to the remaining portion of the air cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, the remaining portion of the air cushion body 21 will not deform. Here, the remaining portion of the air cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 refers to the portion other than the portion exposed in the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper portion 1111 and the second upper portion 1112.

[0074] The connecting side portion 1133 can connect the rear side portion 1131 and the front side portion 1132. A connecting portion 114 can be formed on the connecting side portion 1133. The connecting portion 114 can be formed by cutting at least a portion of the connecting side portion 1133. The connecting portion 114 can be a cutting groove 1141 formed by cutting at least a portion of the connecting side portion 1133.

[0075] The connecting side portions 1133 can be provided as a pair configured to face each other. The cutting groove 1141 may include a pair of recessed sidewall portions 1141-1 formed by recessing from either of the pair of connecting side portions 1133 in a direction toward the other, and a connecting sidewall portion 1141-2 connecting the pair of recessed sidewall portions 1141-1.

[0076] A pair of recessed sidewall portions 1141-1 can be spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the direction facing the pair of connecting sidewall portions 1133. Thus, the pair of recessed sidewall portions 1141-1 can prevent the band 22 of the powder puff 20 from moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction facing the pair of connecting sidewall portions 1133.

[0077] The powder puff 20, in conjunction with the spatula 10, allows the makeup applied to the user's face to adhere smoothly to the face.

[0078] Therefore, the powder puff 20 may include: a cushion body 21 made of a material with a strength lower than that of the spatula body 11; and a strap 22 connected to the cushion body 21 and to a strap connection portion 114 formed on the side 113 of the spatula body 11 for the user's fingers to insert.

[0079] The cushion body 21 can be used to gently pat the makeup applied to the user's face with the spatula body 11, so that the makeup adheres to the user's face.

[0080] When the band 22 is connected to the band connector 114 formed on the side 113 of the spatula body 11, at least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21 can be configured not to overlap with the spatula body 11. Overlap can be understood as the state where the powder puff 20 overlaps with the spatula body 11 when viewed from the rear. The shape of at least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21, configured not to overlap with the spatula body 11, can deform in response to pressure applied by the user's fingers. The shape of at least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21 can be bent and deformed from the rear in a forward direction, so that at least a portion 211 of the cushion body 21 fits snugly against the undulating areas of the user's face.

[0081] When the strap 22 is connected to the strap connection portion 114 formed on the side surface 113 of the spatula body 11, the remaining portion of the cushion body 21 can be supported by the front side surface portion 1132 in the side surface 113 of the spatula body 11. Therefore, even if the user's fingers apply pressure to the remaining portion of the cushion body 21, the remaining portion of the cushion body 21 may not deform. That is, the remaining portion of the cushion body 21 can be compressed while substantially maintaining its overall shape (approximately circular). Here, the remaining portion of the cushion body 21 refers to the portion excluding the part exposed in the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper surface portion 1111 and the second upper surface portion 1112 of the spatula body 11.

[0082] The strap 22 can be connected to the strap connection portion 114 formed on the side 113 of the spatula body 11. As an example, the strap 22 can be made of an elastic material. With the strap 22 elastically fixed to the strap connection portion 114, the strap 22 can elastically support the user's fingers.

[0083] The following will refer to Figures 5 to 8 A cosmetic applicator according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0084] Figure 5 This is a rear view of a cosmetic applicator according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Front view of a cosmetic applicator. Figure 7 The diagram is in Figure 5The image shows the user's finger inserted into the connecting part of the powder puff when the spatula of the makeup applicator is attached to the powder puff. Figure 8 It is a diagram. Figure 5 A front view of an example of a powder puff combined with a spatula for applying makeup, featuring a connecting part.

[0085] refer to Figures 5 to 8 According to another embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic applicator 1a may include a powder puff combined with a spatula 10a and a powder puff 20. However, in addition to the powder puff combined with the spatula 10a, Figures 5 to 8 The cosmetic applicator 1a shown is the same as the reference. Figures 1 to 4 The cosmetic applicator 1 described herein is essentially the same, so repeated descriptions will be omitted below. Instead, the description will focus on the powder puff combined with the spatula 10a, which is a point of difference.

[0086] The powder puff-attached spatula 10a may include a spatula body 11a attached to the powder puff 20. The spatula body 11a may have a predetermined shape, which may be surrounded by a top surface 111a, a bottom surface 112, and a side surface 113a. However, the bottom surface 112 is related to a reference surface. Figures 1 to 4 The following description is essentially the same as 112 below, therefore repeated descriptions will be omitted below, and the descriptions of 111a above and 113a on the side will be provided.

[0087] The upper surface 111a may include: a first upper surface 1111a, configured with a first distance D3 separated from the lower surface 112; a second upper surface 1112a, configured with a second distance D4 different from the first distance D3 separated from the lower surface 112; and a third upper surface 1113a, connecting the first upper surface 1111a and the second upper surface 1112a to form a powder puff exposure space between the first upper surface 1111a and the second upper surface 1112a for exposing at least a portion of the powder puff 20 that is combined with the spatula body 11a. The first upper surface 1111a, the second upper surface 1112a, and the third upper surface 1113a may be integrally formed.

[0088] A connecting portion 114a may be formed on the first upper surface 1111a, to which a strap 22 for inserting the user's fingers of the powder puff 20 is connected. The connecting portion 114a may be a pair of first slits 1142 extending from the upper surface 111a toward the lower surface 112. The pair of first slits 1142 can connect the rear side portion 1131a and the front side portion 1132a of the side portion 113a (described later) in a front-rear configuration. The pair of first slits 1142 can space the length of the strap 22 of the powder puff 20.

[0089] Side 113a may include a rear side portion 1131a, a front side portion 1132a, and a connecting side portion 1133a. The rear side portion 1131a, the front side portion 1132a, and the connecting side portion 1133a may be integrally formed.

[0090] When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connecting part 114a, the rear side portion 1131a is the part where the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is positioned in front, and at least a portion of the rear side portion 1131a can support the user's fingers inserted into the strap 22 of the powder puff 20.

[0091] When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connection portion 114a, at least a portion 211a of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can be exposed by overlapping with the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper part 1111a and the second upper part 1112a.

[0092] At least a portion 211a of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 exposed through the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper part 1111a and the second upper part 1112a can be deformed by pressure applied by the user's fingers.

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown, when a user moves their finger from the rear side portion 1131a towards the front side portion 1132a, pressure can be transmitted to at least a portion 211a of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 exposed through the powder puff exposure space. The pressure transmitted to the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can cause the shape of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 to deform. Because the shape of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 is deformed, the makeup can easily adhere to the undulating areas of the user's face.

[0094] The connecting side portion 1133a can have an application surface 115a for applying cosmetics. When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is inserted and engaged with the first slit 1142, the application surface 115a can be positioned further outward than the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Therefore, the cosmetic can be applied to the application surface 115a before the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Thus, even if the powder puff-attaching spatula 10a and the powder puff 20 are integrated, the powder puff-attaching spatula 10a and the powder puff 20 can remain independent of each other.

[0095] The following will refer to Figure 9 This invention describes a modified example of a powder puff combined with a spatula for a cosmetic applicator, with a connecting portion, according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0096] Figure 9 It is a diagram. Figure 5 A front view of a modified example of a powder puff combined with a spatula for applying makeup, featuring a connecting part.

[0097] refer to Figure 9 The connecting portion 114b may include a pair of first slits 1143. Each first slit 1143 may be divided into a first extension 1143-1 extending from the top 111a in a direction toward the bottom 112, and a second extension 1143-2 extending from the end of the first extension 1143-1 in a direction toward the bottom 112. The first extension 1143-1 and the second extension 1143-2 may be integrally formed.

[0098] To attach the powder puff 20 to the powder puff attachment spatula 10a, the strip 22 of the powder puff 20 can enter the first extension 1143-1 and move to the second extension 1143-2. ​​When it is necessary to replace the powder puff 20 attached to the powder puff attachment spatula 10a, the strip 22 of the powder puff 20 can pass through the second extension 1143-2 and the first extension 1143-1 in sequence, and completely detach through the first extension 1143-1.

[0099] The second extension 1143-2 can be formed to be wider than the first extension 1143-1. Therefore, the movement of the band 22 of the powder puff 20 located in the second extension 1143-2 can be more free than the movement of the band 22 of the powder puff 20 located in the first extension 1143-1.

[0100] The movement of the band 22 of the powder puff 20 located in the second extension 1143-2 allows the pressure applied by the user's fingers to be better transmitted to at least a portion 211a of the exposed cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 through the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper part 1111a and the second upper part 1112a (see reference). Figure 7 As pressure is effectively transmitted to the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can also smoothly complete the shape deformation. Therefore, due to the shape deformation of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, the makeup can also easily adhere to the uneven areas of the user's face.

[0101] The following will refer to Figures 10 to 13 A cosmetic applicator according to yet another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0102] Figure 10 This is a rear view of a cosmetic applicator according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11 yes Figure 10 Front view of a cosmetic applicator. Figure 12 The diagram is in Figure 10 The image shows the user's finger inserted into the connecting part of the powder puff when the spatula of the makeup applicator is attached to the powder puff. Figure 13 It is a diagram. Figure 10 A front view of an example of a powder puff combined with a spatula for applying makeup, featuring a connecting part.

[0103] refer to Figures 10 to 13 According to another embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic applicator 1b may include a powder puff combined with a spatula 10b and a powder puff 20. However, in addition to the powder puff combined with the spatula 10b, Figures 10 to 13 The cosmetic applicator 1b shown is the same as the reference. Figures 1 to 4 Instructions for use with a cosmetic applicator 1 or reference Figures 5 to 8 The makeup applicator 1a described herein is essentially the same, so repeated descriptions will be omitted below. Instead, the description will focus on the powder puff combined with the spatula 10b, which is a point of difference.

[0104] The powder puff-attached spatula 10b may include a spatula body 11b attached to the powder puff 20. The spatula body 11b may have a predetermined shape, which may be surrounded by a top 111b, a bottom 112, and a side 113b. However, the bottom 112 is related to a reference... Figures 1 to 4 The following description is essentially the same as 112 below, so repeated descriptions will be omitted. Instead, the descriptions of 111b above and 113b on the side will be provided.

[0105] The upper part 111b may include: a first upper part 1111b, configured with a first distance D5 separated from the lower part 112; a second upper part 1112b, configured with a second distance D6 different from the first distance D5 separated from the lower part 112; and a third upper part 1113b, connecting the first upper part 1111b and the second upper part 1112b to form a powder puff exposure space between the first upper part 1111b and the second upper part 1112b for exposing at least a portion of the powder puff 20 that is combined with the spatula body 11a. The first upper part 1111b, the second upper part 1112b and the third upper part 1113b may be integrally formed.

[0106] A connecting portion 114c may be formed on the first upper surface 1111b and the second upper surface 1112b, to which the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 for the user's fingers to be connected. The connecting portion 114c may be a pair of second slits 1144 extending from the upper surface 111b toward the lower surface 112. The pair of second slits 1144 can connect the rear side portion 1131b and the front side portion 1132b of the side portion 113b (described later) in a front-rear configuration. The pair of second slits 1144 can be configured to separate the length of the strap 22 of the powder puff 20.

[0107] like Figure 13 As shown, the extent E1 of one of the pair of second slits 1144 extending from the top 111b in the direction toward the bottom 112 can be different from the extent E2 of the other of the pair of second slits 1144 extending from the top 111b in the direction toward the bottom 112.

[0108] Side 113b may include a rear side portion 1131b, a front side portion 1132b, and a connecting side portion 1133b. The rear side portion 1131b, the front side portion 1132b, and the connecting side portion 1133b may be integrally formed.

[0109] When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connecting part 114c, the rear side portion 1131b is the part where the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is positioned in front, and at least a portion of the rear side portion 1131b can support the user's fingers inserted into the strap 22 of the powder puff 20.

[0110] When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is connected to the strap connection portion 114c, at least a portion 211b of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can be exposed by overlapping with the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper part 1111b and the second upper part 1112b.

[0111] At least a portion 211b of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, exposed through the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper surface 1111b and the second upper surface 1112b, can be deformed by pressure applied by the user's fingers. For example, as Figure 10 As shown, the user moves their finger from the rear side portion 1131b toward the front side portion 1132b to press at least a portion 211b of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 exposed through the powder puff exposure space, thereby deforming the shape of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Because the shape of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 is deformed, the makeup can easily adhere to the undulating areas of the user's face.

[0112] The connecting side portion 1133b can have an application surface 115b for applying cosmetics. When the strap 22 of the powder puff 20 is inserted into the second slit 1144, the application surface 115b can be positioned further outward than the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Therefore, the cosmetic can be applied to the application surface 115b before the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20. Thus, even if the powder puff-attaching spatula 10b and the powder puff 20 are integrated, the powder puff-attaching spatula 10b and the powder puff 20 can remain independent.

[0113] The following will refer to Figure 14 This invention describes a modified example of a powder puff combined with a spatula for applying cosmetics according to another embodiment of the present invention, which includes a connecting portion.

[0114] Figure 14 It is a diagram. Figure 10 A front view of a modified example of a powder puff combined with a spatula for applying makeup, featuring a connecting part.

[0115] refer to Figure 14The connecting portion 114b may include a pair of second slits 1145, which may be divided into a first extension 1145-1 and a second extension 1145-2.

[0116] The second slit 1145 can be divided into a first extension 1145-1 extending from the top 111b in a direction toward the bottom 112 and a second extension 1145-2 extending from the end of the first extension 1145-1. The first extension 1145-1 and the second extension 1145-2 can be integrally formed.

[0117] To attach the powder puff 20 to the powder puff attachment spatula 10b, the strip 22 of the powder puff 20 can enter the first extension 1145-1 and move to the second extension 1145-2. When it is necessary to replace the powder puff 20 attached to the powder puff attachment spatula 10b, the strip 22 of the powder puff 20 can pass through the second extension 1145-2 and the first extension 1145-1 in sequence, thereby completely detaching itself through the first extension 1145-1.

[0118] The second extension 1145-2 can be formed to be wider than the first extension 1145-1. Therefore, the movement of the band 22 of the powder puff 20 located in the second extension 1145-2 can be more free than the movement of the band 22 of the powder puff 20 located in the first extension 1145-1.

[0119] The movement of the band 22 of the powder puff 20 located in the second extension 1145-2 allows for better transmission of pressure applied by the user's fingers to at least a portion 211b of the exposed cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 through the powder puff exposure space formed between the first upper part 1111b and the second upper part 1112b (see reference). Figure 12 As pressure is effectively transmitted to the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20 can also smoothly complete the shape deformation. Therefore, due to the shape deformation of the cushion body 21 of the powder puff 20, the makeup can also easily adhere to the uneven areas of the user's face.
