[0009] (overview) In this embodiment, some specific examples of the eyelash extension tool are described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings for describing the embodiment of the eyelash extension tool, the same parts are generally given the same reference numerals, and the repeated description is omitted. The eyelash extension tool can be used mainly for hardening glue during eyelash extension treatment. The eyelash extension tool may be defined as an eyelash extension device or an eyelash extension attachment.

[0010] As shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4, the eyelash extension tool 10 includes a tool body 11, a light 12, an electric wire 13, and the like. The eyelash extension tool 10 can have tweezers 14 attached and detached. The tool body 11 is formed by, for example, covering the surface of a synthetic resin case with soft silicone rubber. The tool body 11 includes a grip 15 and a light support part 16 connected to the grip 15. The grip 15 is a part that the practitioner holds with the hand H1 as shown in Fig. 5, and has a shaft shape. The light support part 16 is connected to a first end in the longitudinal direction of the grip 15. The electric wire 13 is connected to a second end in the longitudinal direction of the grip 15. For example, a USB-C cable is used as the electric wire 13. The electric wire 13 is connected to a power source 18 via an adapter 17 shown in Fig. 6. The adapter 17 has a function of converting AC power to DC power.

[0011] 1 and 2, the grip 15 is provided with a retaining hole 19. The retaining hole 19 is provided for attaching and detaching the tweezers 14. The retaining hole 19 is configured by making a part of the grip 15 into an arch shape. The retaining hole 19 is provided over a range of more than half of the grip 15 in the longitudinal direction.

[0012] The light 12 is a light source that irradiates light A1 as shown in FIG. 5, and the light 12 is, for example, a UV-LED light (ultraviolet-light-emitting diode light). The light 12 is attached to the outer surface of a light support part 16. In addition, a pressure sensor 20 is provided on the outer surface of the grip 15. The pressure sensor 20 and the holding hole 19 are disposed at opposite positions in the thickness direction of the grip 15. The pressure sensor 20 is pressed by the fingers of the practitioner's hand H1 that is holding the grip 15. The pressure sensor 20 detects the pressure applied by the fingers and outputs a signal.

[0013] 5 shows an example in which the eyelash extension device 10 is held by the hand H1 with the thumb 30 of the hand H1 pressing the tweezers 14 and the index finger 31 of the hand H1 pressing the pressure sensor 20. The eyelash extension device 10 may also be held by the hand H1 with the index finger 31 pressing the tweezers 14 and the thumb 30 pressing the pressure sensor 20.

[0014] FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the control system of the eyelash extension device 10. A control device 21 is provided inside the device body 11. The control device 21 is a microcomputer having an input port, an output port, an arithmetic processing circuit, and a timer. A storage device 22 is also provided inside the device body 11. The storage device 22 stores non-temporary programs started by the processing performed by the control device 21, and data, information, etc. used in the processing performed by the control device 21. Furthermore, a power supply circuit 23 and a light control circuit 24 are provided inside the device body 11. The power supply circuit 23 is an electric circuit that electrically connects the light 12 and the power source 18. The light control circuit 24 has a function of connecting and disconnecting the power supply circuit, and a function of changing the illuminance of the light 12.

[0015] An operation unit 28 is provided on the surface of the device body 11. The operation unit 28 is a button embedded in the surface of the device body 11 or attached to the surface of the device body 11. The practitioner can operate the operation unit 28 to change the illuminance of the light 12 and the predetermined time from when the light 12 is turned on until when it is turned off. A display unit 29 is provided on the outer surface of the device body 11. The display unit 29 is, for example, a liquid crystal panel that can be visually observed by the practitioner, and the display unit 29 can display the illuminance of the light 12 and the predetermined time from when the light 12 is turned on until when it is turned off in numbers. The display unit 29 is activated by the power of the power source 18.

[0016] The control device 21 is connected to the pressure sensor 20, the storage device 22, the light control circuit 24, the operation unit 28, and the display unit 29. The control device 21 reads a non-transient program stored in the storage device 22, and controls the light control circuit 24 and the display unit 29 based on a signal input from the pressure sensor 20, a signal input from the operation unit 28, the elapsed time counted by a timer, and the like.

[0017] The tweezers 14 are tweezers used in eyelash extension treatment, such as for gripping eyelash extensions 25 and for parting the subject's own eyelashes, as shown in FIG. 5. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the tweezers 14 have a first component piece 26 and a second component piece 27. The first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are made of metal, such as stainless steel. Both the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are plate-shaped. The tweezers 14 is a V-shaped tool in which the longitudinal end of the first component piece 26 and the longitudinal end of the second component piece 27 are connected.

[0018] The practitioner can attach the tweezers 14 to the tool body 11, for example, by inserting the tip 26A of the first component piece 26 into the retaining hole 19 from the electric wire 13 side. When the practitioner grasps the grip 15 and the tweezers 14 with the hand H1 in a state in which the tweezers 14 are attached to the tool body 11 as shown in Fig. 5, the pressure sensor 20 and the retaining hole 19 are disposed at positions opposite to the direction B1 in which the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are overlapped in the thickness direction of the grip 15. The practitioner can remove the tweezers 14 from the tool body 11 by pulling out the first component piece 26 from the retaining hole 19.

[0019] (Example of using eyelash extension equipment) An example of how to use the eyelash extension device 10 is as follows. First, with the subject's eyes closed, a protective tape is applied to the skin below the eyes. Next, any foreign matter on the subject's natural eyelashes is wiped off. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the tweezers 14 are attached to the device body 11. The tip 26A of the first component piece 26 and the tip 27A of the second component piece 27 are located forward of the light 12 in the longitudinal direction of the device body 11.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 5, the practitioner holds one eyelash extension 25 with the tweezers 14 and applies an appropriate amount of glue to the end of the held eyelash extension 25. The glue is a photocurable resin. Photocurable resin is a synthetic organic material that changes from a liquid state to a solid state and hardens when exposed to light energy. For example, an ultraviolet-curable resin is used as the photocurable resin. Then, the practitioner brings the eyelash extension 25 with the glue attached into contact with one of the subject's own eyelashes.

[0021] Furthermore, when the practitioner increases the force with which he or she grips the grip 15 and the tweezers 14 with his or her fingers, the pressure sensor 20 is turned on. When the control device 21 detects that the pressure sensor 20 is turned on, it connects the light control circuit 24. As a result, power from the power source 18 is supplied to the light 12, and the light 12 is turned on. The timer of the control device 21 measures the elapsed time from the point in time when the pressure sensor 20 was turned on. When a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds, has elapsed, the control device 21 cuts off the light control circuit 24 and resets the timer. Then, power from the power source 18 is not supplied to the light 12, and the light 12 is turned off.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 5, the glue hardens while being irradiated with light A1 from light 12, and eyelash extension 25 is adhered, i.e., fixed, to the natural eyelashes. The practitioner repeats the above steps using eyelash extension tool 10 to adhere eyelash extension 25 to the subject's natural eyelashes one by one. After that, the practitioner blows air onto the adhesion points between the natural eyelashes and eyelash extension 25 to completely dry the glue.

[0023] (Effects of the embodiment) The eyelash extension device 10 can be held by the practitioner's fingers by pinching the grip 15 and the tweezers 14. The pressure sensor 20 and the holding hole 19 are provided at opposite positions on the grip 15. Specifically, the pressure sensor 20 and the holding hole 19 are arranged at opposite positions in the direction B1 in the thickness direction of the grip 15, in which the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are overlapped. Therefore, the practitioner can turn on the light 12 by increasing the pressure applied by the index finger 31 in contact with the pressure sensor 20 without moving the thumb 30 and index finger 31, which are pinching the grip 15 and the tweezers 14, to another position. Therefore, the operability of turning on the light 12 is improved.

[0024] Furthermore, since the practitioner does not need to move the thumb 30 and the index finger 31 to another location, vibration of the tool body 11 can be suppressed. Therefore, the tip 26A of the first component piece 26 and the tip 27A of the second component piece 27 shown in Fig. 5 can be prevented from moving away from the target natural eyelash, and the bonding work of the eyelash extensions 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently.

[0025] Furthermore, when comparing the light 12 of the eyelash extension device 10 of the present disclosure with a stand-type light of the comparative example, the light 12 can irradiate the light A1 of the light 12 from a position closer to the eyelash extensions 25 than the stand-type light of the comparative example. Therefore, the bonding work of the eyelash extensions 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently.

[0026] Furthermore, the first component piece 26 of the tweezers 14 is inserted into the holding hole 19, allowing the practitioner to hold the tool body 11 and the tweezers 14 with one hand H1. This allows the adhesive application of the eyelash extensions 25 to be performed accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, the electric wire 13 is provided with an adapter 17. This allows the tool 10 to be supplied with power from a variety of power sources 18, making it possible to obtain a convenient and reliable eyelash extension tool 10.

[0027] Furthermore, if the surface of the grip 15 is made of soft silicone rubber, it is possible to prevent the practitioner's hand H1 from getting tired and to prevent the grip 15 from slipping relative to the hand H1. Therefore, the adhesive work of the eyelash extensions 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, the practitioner can operate the operation unit 28 to change the illuminance of the light 12 and the predetermined time from when the light 12 is turned on to when it is turned off. Therefore, the adhesive work of the eyelash extensions 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently.
