Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a patch to the skin. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, skin care such as exfoliation, moisturizing, and nutritional supply is performed by evenly applying various cosmetics such as skin lotions, creams, essences, etc. to supply nutrients to the skin. However, since such cosmetics for application are inconvenient to use, patch-type cosmetics that can be easily applied to the skin have been provided recently.

[0003] A patch-type cosmetic may be provided in the form of a thin film, containing a cosmetic on one side, and provided in a form that can be attached to the skin.

[0004] These patch-type cosmetics are generally used by the user peeling them off from the release sheet by hand without any additional tools and applying them to the skin, but when peeling off the patch-type cosmetics by hand, there are problems such as foreign matter adhering to the patch-type cosmetics during the peeling process and the patch-type cosmetics being bent during application.

[0005] Furthermore, when the patch-type cosmetic is applied to the skin, it is difficult to distribute pressure accurately to the patch-type cosmetic, which can result in inaccurate adhesion and problems such as bending or lifting. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0030] The present invention can be modified in various ways and can have various embodiments, and specific embodiments are illustrated and described in detail in the detailed description. However, it is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the present invention includes all modifications, equivalents, or alternatives falling within the spirit and technical scope of the present invention.

[0031] The terms used in the present invention are merely used to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. A singular expression includes a plural expression unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In the present invention, the terms "include" or "have" are intended to specify the presence of features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof described herein, and should be understood not to preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0032] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. At this time, it should be noted that in the accompanying drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible. In addition, detailed description of known functions and configurations that may obscure the gist of the present invention will be omitted. For the same reason, some components are exaggerated, omitted, or illustrated in a schematic manner in the accompanying drawings.

[0033] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall appearance of an applicator for attaching a patch to the skin in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] An overall configuration of an applicator 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to Fig. 1. In an embodiment of the present invention, the applicator 1000 may include a handle 1100, a support part 1200, and a patch application part 1300.

[0035] The handle 1100 is a part that is held by a user, and may be provided so that the user can use the applicator 1000 after holding it. Specifically, the handle 1100 may be formed in a shape that extends long in one direction. In this embodiment, the handle 1100 is shown in a shape that extends long in the up-down direction based on FIG. 1. The handle 1100 may be formed so that the lower side is more convex than the upper side. The handle 1100 may be formed to have a circular cross section. Depending on the embodiment, the handle 1100 may be omitted or may be formed as a part of the support part 1200. Also, the handle 1100 may be formed so that it is not distinguishable from the support part 1200 in appearance, in which case it may be understood that the part that the user arbitrarily holds plays the role of the handle 1100.

[0036] The support part 1200 is a component that is elastically deformed in one direction and then restored in another direction, and can elastically support the patch attachment part 1300. As an example, the support part 1200 may be formed in a curved shape having a preset curvature. Specifically, the support part 1200 may have a cross section that is arc-shaped or "U"-shaped, and may be deformed into a shape in which the curve widens and then restored to its original state.

[0037] As an example, the support 1200 can have a shape that extends from the handle 1100. Depending on the embodiment, the support 1200 can be formed integrally with the handle 1100, or can be formed separately and connected to the support 1200 in various ways, such as by gluing, threading, fusing, etc., such that the support 1200 has a shape that is connected to the handle 1100.

[0038] The support portion 1200 may be formed to extend from one end of the handle 1100. In FIG. 1, the support portion 1200 is shown extending from the upper end of the handle 1100 as an example.

[0039] As described above, the support part 1200 may be provided to be elastically deformable. The support part 1200 may be formed of a material having a first elastic modulus E1. That is, the support part 1200 may have the first elastic modulus E1. As a result, the support part 1200 is elastically deformed when an external force is applied thereto.

[0040] The support part 1200 may include an extension part 1210. The support part 1200 may include the extension part 1210 formed by extending from the handle 1100 to both sides. In this case, the extension part 1210 may have a shape extending in a curved shape having a predetermined curvature from the handle 1100. Furthermore, the extension parts 1210 extending to both sides from the handle 1100 may have a shape symmetrical with respect to the handle 1100. As a result, when an external force is applied to the support part 1200 from above, the support part 1200 may be elastically deformed to expand to both sides, and when the patch P is attached to the center part of the patch attachment part 1300, the force may be evenly distributed to both sides of the support part 1200.

[0041] When the support part 1200 is formed extending from both sides of the handle 1100, the support part 1200 can support the patch application part 1300 on both sides. The included angle formed between the upper ends of the extension parts 1210 of the support part 1200 with the upper end of the handle 1100 as the center may be less than 180 degrees. For example, the included angle formed between the upper ends of the extension parts 1210 may be 120 degrees, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] The applicator 1000 having such a shape may have a structure in which the handle 1100 is formed on one side of the support part 1200 and the patch attachment part 1300 is formed on the other side.

[0043] The support part 1200 may be formed concavely toward the patch sticking part 1300. In other words, the support part 1200 may be formed convexly toward the handle 1100. That is, the support part 1200 and the patch sticking part 1300 may form a "D" shape as a whole when viewed from the side. In this case, even if the patch sticking part 1300 is deformed due to atypical facial bending, the deformation of the patch sticking part 1300 may be induced within the concave space of the support part 1200, so that the user can conveniently use the applicator 1000.

[0044] The patch affixing part 1300 is supported by the support part 1200. One side of the patch affixing part 1300 can be disposed downward toward the support part 1200. A first adhesive surface S1 is formed on the other side of the patch affixing part 1300. A patch P can be temporarily adhered to the first adhesive surface S1 of the patch affixing part 1300.

[0045] The patch sticking part 1300 may be formed of a material having adhesive properties, and may be provided in a form in which an adhesive is applied to a portion corresponding to the first adhesive surface S1, or an adhesive film is attached. As an example, the patch sticking part 1300 may be an adhesive sheet. In addition, the patch sticking part 1300 may be formed of a material having elasticity so that it can elastically deform in response to bending of the user's face when the applicator 1000 is used, and then return to its original state. At this time, when the support part 1200 is elastically deformed and pulled, the patch sticking part 1300 is also pulled, and when the support part 1200 is restored to its original state, the patch sticking part 1300 can also be restored to its original state.

[0046] As an example, the patch application portion 1300 can be a silicone sheet with an adhesive film attached to one side.

[0047] The patch P may have a second adhesive surface S2 on one side that may be adhered to the skin. The second adhesive surface S2 may contain a cosmetic material, etc. The other side of the patch P may be temporarily adhered to the first adhesive surface S1 of the patch attachment portion 1300.

[0048] FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the joint portion of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an enlarged front view of a modified joint portion in another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged front view of the joint portion in yet another embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] The support part 1200 and the patch application part 1300 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

[0050] A connecting portion 1220 may be formed in the support portion 1200. A patch attachment portion 1300 may be connected to the connecting portion 1220. Both ends 1310 of the patch attachment portion 1300 may be connected to the connecting portion 1220.

[0051] The coupling portion 1220 may be a part of the extension portion 1210. The coupling portion 1220 may be formed on the outer or upper end of the extension portion 1210, respectively.

[0052] The thickness T1 of the coupling part 1220 can be formed thicker than the thickness T2 of the remaining part of the support part 1200. In this case, when a certain amount of external force is applied to the support part 1200, the elastic deformation amount of the coupling part 1220 is smaller than the elastic deformation amount of the remaining part of the support part 1200. As a result, the coupling part 1220 is hardly elastically deformed, and only the remaining part of the support part 1200 excluding the coupling part 1220 may be elastically deformed. Meanwhile, as the thickness T1 of the coupling part 1220 is formed thicker, the rigidity of the coupling part 1220 is increased, and even if an external force is applied to the support part 1200, the patch attachment part 1300 may be maintained in a state where it is firmly supported by the coupling part 1220.

[0053] The coupling part 1220 may include a fitting groove 1230. An end 1310 of the patch sticking part 1300 may be sandwiched and coupled to the fitting groove 1230. At least a portion of the fitting groove 1230 may be open to the outside. That is, the fitting groove 1230 may have a form that is open toward one surface constituting the coupling part 1220. For example, the fitting groove 1230 may be open in an upward direction based on FIG. 2. Also, the fitting groove 1230 may be open toward at least one of the front and rear directions of the coupling part 1220 based on FIG. 2. As at least a portion of the fitting groove 1230 is formed to be open to the outside, the end 1310 of the patch sticking part 1300 may be slidably coupled to the fitting groove 1230. That is, the end 1310 of the patch sticking part 1300 may be slidably inserted into the fitting groove 1230 at the open position and coupled to the coupling part 1220. In this case, the end 1310 of the patch application portion 1300 can be forcefully fitted into the fitting groove 1230 .

[0054] The patch application portion 1300 may include a bent portion 1320. The bent portion 1320 may be formed on the inside of the patch application portion 1300 relative to the end portion 1310. The bent portion 1320 is a portion formed by bending, and the end portion 1310 may be a portion formed on the outside based on the bent portion 1320. As an example, the bent portion 1320 may be bent at a right angle. When the fitting groove 1230 is formed to be open on the upper side of the coupling portion 1220, the patch application portion 1300 may be provided in a form in which the central portion is horizontally arranged and the end portion 1310 bent from each of the bent portions 1320 is inserted into the fitting groove 1230 from the upper side to the lower side.

[0055] Hereinafter, with particular reference to FIG. 3, a coupling portion 1220 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present invention, the end 1310 of the patch attaching part 1300 may include a portion formed to be convex in a predetermined direction relative to other portions. As an example, in Fig. 3, when the applicator 1000 is viewed from the front, the end 1310 is formed to be convex in the extension direction of the patch attaching part 1300, and the end 1310 is shown to have an overall bulb shape. This can also be expressed as the cross section of the patch end 1310 being formed to protrude in a first shape.

[0057] Therefore, the fitting groove 1230 can have a shape in which the convex shape of the end 1310 can be applied in a direction in which an elastic restoring force is applied when the patch affixing part 1300 is elastically deformed. This can prevent the end 1310 from coming off the fitting groove 1230 even if the patch affixing part 1300 is elastically deformed by using the applicator 1000. As an example, the fitting groove 1230 can be formed in a concave shape corresponding to the convex shape of the end 1310, and the end 1310 and the fitting groove 1230 can be fitted to each other with corresponding shapes. This can also be expressed as the cross section of the fitting groove 1230 being formed in a second shape corresponding to the first shape of the end 1310.

[0058] When the end 1310 of the patch attachment portion 1300 is provided in a first shape and the engaging groove 1230 is provided in a second shape, the end 1310 sandwiched between the engaging grooves 1230 can be effectively prevented from escaping to the outside.

[0059] For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the end 1310 of the patch affixing part 1300 may be formed to protrude outward in a first shape having a convex cross section, and the fitting groove 1230 may be formed to have a second concave shape corresponding to the first shape. In this case, even if an external force is applied to the patch affixing part 1300 in the upward direction, such as pulling the patch affixing part 1300 upward, the patch affixing part 1300 may be prevented from coming off the coupling part 1220 in the upward direction. However, the first and second shapes are not limited thereto, and any shape may be used as long as the end 1310 of the patch affixing part 1300 is prevented from coming off the fitting groove 1230 in the upward direction.

[0060] Hereinafter, the coupling part 1220 according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with particular reference to Fig. 4. In another embodiment of the present invention, the coupling part 1220 may further include a pressure block 1240 disposed therein.

[0061] The pressure blocks 1240 may be disposed on both sides of the end 1310 in the fitting groove 1230. The pressure blocks 1240 may be disposed on the inside and outside of the fitting groove 1230 with the end 1310 as the center. Before the end 1310 and the pressure blocks 1240 are fitted into the fitting groove 1230, the sum of the thickness of the end 1310 and the thickness of the pressure blocks 1240 on both sides may be formed to be slightly larger than the inner width of the fitting groove 1230. When such an end 1310 and the pressure blocks 1240 on both sides are inserted into the fitting groove 1230, the pressure blocks 1240 on both sides are pressed toward the end 1310, while the end 1310 is pressed, and the end 1310 may be compressed and fixed. Therefore, when the end 1310 and the pressure blocks 1240 on both sides are coupled to the fitting groove 1230, as the end 1310 is compressed, the end 1310 of the patch application portion 1300 can be tightly fitted and coupled to the fitting groove 1230.

[0062] In this embodiment, the pressure block 1240 is described as being disposed on both sides of the end 1310, but it may be provided on only one side. In this case, the pressure block 1240 may act to press the end 1310 toward the inner wall on one side of the fitting groove 1230. That is, one or more pressure blocks 1240 may be provided. In either case, the sum of the thickness of the end 1310 and the thickness of the one or more pressure blocks 1240 may be formed to be larger than the inner width of the fitting groove 1230, thereby obtaining the effect of pressing and fixing the end 1310.

[0063] Meanwhile, although the cross-sectional shapes of the pressure block 1240 and the fitting groove 1230 are shown as rectangular in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional shapes of the pressure block 1240 and the fitting groove 1230 are not limited thereto.

[0064] FIG. 5 is a plan view separately showing the appearance of a patch attachment part on which suction grooves are formed in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] Hereinafter, the patch application part 1300 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 5. In an embodiment of the present invention, the patch application part 1300 may be formed with a suction groove 1330. At least one suction groove 1330 may be formed. The suction groove 1330 may be formed on a first adhesive surface S1 of the patch application part 1300.

[0066] The suction grooves 1330 can be formed as depressions in the patch application part 1300. As the suction grooves 1330 are formed as depressions, when the patch P comes into contact with the suction grooves 1330 and deforms, negative pressure can be applied to the patch P, and the patch P can be attached to the patch application part 1300 more firmly.

[0067] In this case, the size of the suction groove 1330 may be formed smaller than the size of the patch P. The size of the suction groove 1330 may be formed smaller than the size of the other side of the patch P. Preferably, the maximum width of the suction groove 1330 may be formed smaller than the minimum width of the other side of the patch P.

[0068] For example, when both the patch P and the suction groove 1330 are provided in a circular shape, the diameter of the suction groove 1330 may be formed to be smaller than the diameter of the patch P. In this case, one or more suction grooves 1330 may be arranged on one patch P, and a stronger suction force may be applied to the patch P. In addition, when the patch P is provided in an oval shape and the suction groove 1330 is provided in a circular shape, the diameter of the suction groove 1330 may be formed to be smaller than the minimum width of the patch P.

[0069] FIG. 6 shows a deformation process of the support part and the patch application part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Hereinafter, a detailed description will be given with reference to Fig. 6, comparing the state before and after deformation of the support part 1200 and the patch affixing part 1300. Fig. 6(a) shows the state before the support part 1200 and the patch affixing part 1300 are deformed, and Fig. 6(b) shows the state after the support part 1200 and the patch affixing part 1300 are deformed.

[0071] For example, when the patch attachment portion 1300 comes into contact with a target area for patch attachment, such as an irregularly curved part of the face, and is then pressed, the patch attachment portion 1300 can elastically deform to correspond to the target area.

[0072] Then, when the patch sticking part 1300 is further brought into contact with the target site, the upper end side of the support part 1200 may also come into contact with the target site. At this time, the upper end side of the support part 1200 that comes into contact with the target site may be elastically deformed to spread outward. The support part 1200 that spreads outward pulls the patch sticking part 1300, and at the same time, the patch sticking part 1300 is further pressed toward the target site. This allows the patch P to be pressed in perfect contact with the atypical target site, and prevents the patch P from floating up due to inaccurate contact with the user's skin.

[0073] Furthermore, since the patch P can be brought into surface contact with the patch attachment portion 1300 on a surface, it is possible to effectively prevent the patch P from bending during the process of separating it from the release paper or during the process of attaching it to the user's skin.

[0074] Meanwhile, the first elastic modulus E1 of the support part 1200 may be provided to be greater than the second elastic modulus E2 of the patch affixing part 1300. In this case, when the same magnitude of external force is applied to the applicator 1000, the deformation amount of the patch affixing part 1300 may be greater than that of the support part 1200. This has the advantage that the patch affixing part 1300 can easily deform in response to the surface shape of the target part, which is irregular, while the support part 1200 can strongly support the patch affixing part 1300.

[0075] FIG. 7 illustrates the process of attaching and detaching a patch from an applicator in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0076] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 7, a process of attaching the patch P to the patch attachment part 1300 and separating the patch P from the patch attachment part 1300 will be described in detail.

[0077] Figure 7(a) shows the process of peeling off the patch P and adhering it to the patch application part 1300, Figure 7(b) shows the state in which the patch P is adhered to the patch application part 1300, and Figure 7(c) shows the process in which the patch P is separated from the patch application part 1300.

[0078] A first adhesive surface S1 is provided on one side of the patch application portion 1300. A second adhesive surface S2 is provided on one side of the patch P. The other side of the patch P can adhere to the first adhesive surface S1.

[0079] The patch P may be provided to a user in a state where a plurality of patches are arranged on a release paper (not shown). The patch P may be provided in a state where the patch P is adhered to the release paper. In this case, the adhesive force between the second adhesive surface S2 and the release paper may be formed to be smaller than the adhesive force between the first adhesive surface S1 and the other side of the patch P. Therefore, when the first adhesive surface S1 is brought into contact with the other side of the patch P while the patch P is adhered to the release paper, and then the applicator 1000 is separated from the release paper, the other side of the patch P can be separated from the release paper while adhering to the first adhesive surface S1 (FIGS. 7(a) and (b)).

[0080] The adhesive force between the first adhesive surface S1 and the other side of the patch P may be provided to be smaller than the adhesive force between the second adhesive surface S2 and the skin. In other words, the adhesive force applied by the first adhesive surface S1 to the patch P may be smaller than the adhesive force applied by the patch P to the user's skin.
