Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention
[0021] Hereinafter, the beauty tool according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the scope of the invention is not limited to the illustrated examples. In the following description, those having the same functions and configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.
[0022] First, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the configuration of the beauty tool according to the present embodiment will be described.
[0023] FIG. 1 shows a sheet portion 100 constituting the beauty tool. The sheet portion 100 includes a sheet-shaped beauty sheet 110, a tension thread 120, and an elastic cord 130.
[0024] The beauty sheet 110 is composed of a nanofiber sheet spun by a known electrospinning method. Therefore, the beauty sheet 110 is porous and in the form of a thin film. In this embodiment, the beauty sheet 110 uses resins such as polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) as nanofibers, but other materials may also be used. For example, bio-nanofibers, carbon nanofibers, metal fibers, natural fibers, etc. may be used, or a mixture of two or more of these materials may be used. Also, it may be made of synthetic resin, natural resin, or rubber-based material. The beauty sheet 110 is formed in a rectangular shape. Note that the shape of the beauty sheet 110 is not limited to a rectangular shape and may be other shapes, for example, an elliptical shape or a droplet shape. The beauty sheet 110 preferably has a predetermined stretchability. Also, an adhesive is applied to the attachment surface of the beauty sheet 110, and it can be attached to the skin. Therefore, when the beauty sheet 110 is attached to the face, it is easily visible in a transparent state and is less conspicuous. Also, since the beauty sheet 110 is formed as described above, it is easy for cosmetic materials to enter through the gaps in the sheet, and the beauty effect can be enhanced. In this embodiment, the properties of the beauty sheet 110 are those of a nanofiber sheet, but other thin and sheet-like materials may be adopted as long as they are thin and sheet-like. For example, a thin mesh sheet or a film-like sheet may be used. In the state before use, a release paper is attached to the beauty sheet 110 to protect the properties of the beauty sheet 110. Also, the adhesive may be applied to the beauty sheet 110 in advance, or may be applied by the user spraying the beauty sheet 110 with a spray before use. Also, for example, if the beauty sheet 110 is formed by laminating a plurality of thin film sheets, the sheet of the attachment layer of the beauty sheet 110 (for example, a sheet made of PVA (Poly Vinyl Alcohol) etc.) may be made into a water-soluble sheet that exhibits adhesiveness when wetted with water. Also, it is desirable that the beauty sheet 110 is designed to have a strength such that it does not easily break even when pulled by the tension thread 120 in the state of being attached to the face.In addition, the beauty sheet 110 in the present embodiment is spun by the electrospinning method as a method for generating the nanofiber sheet, but other methods may be used. For example, the melt blow method (melt blown method) or the sea-island melt spinning method may be adopted.
[0025] A plurality of tension threads 120 are attached to the beauty sheet 110. More specifically, a substantially triangular mounting base 122 is provided at the proximal ends of the plurality of tension threads 120. In other words, for example, the mounting base 122 is configured such that a part of the plurality of threads constituting the mounting base 122, where the plurality of threads include a mesh cloth, extends from the triangular base side of the mounting base 122, and these constitute the tension threads 120. Here, in the present embodiment, the threads constituting the tension threads 120 among the plurality of threads constituting the mounting base 122 are made to have higher strength than other threads, but they may be the same. Note that the plurality of tension threads 120 may be fixed to the mounting base 122 so as to be arranged at equal intervals. Also, the proximal end portion of the tension thread 120 may be knitted into the mounting base 122. By attaching this mounting base 122 to the front or back surface of the beauty sheet 110, the plurality of tension threads 120 are attached to the beauty sheet 110. In the present embodiment, since the mounting base 122 integrating the plurality of tension threads 120 is attached to the beauty sheet 110, the manufacturing process can be simplified. Also, since the mounting base 122 integrating the plurality of tension threads 120 is attached to the beauty sheet 110, the detachment of the tension threads 120 can be suppressed. Note that the tension threads 120 may be directly woven and attached onto the surface of the beauty sheet 110. Alternatively, the tension threads 120 may be directly woven and attached onto the surface of the mounting base 122. Also, the fibers constituting the beauty sheet 110 may be extended to form the tension threads 120. Also, the tension threads 120 may be directly arranged at equal intervals on the beauty sheet 110. Also, the tension threads 120 may be directly knitted into the beauty sheet 110, or the tension threads 120 may be directly tied to the beauty sheet 110 one by one. As the attachment mode of the tension threads 120 to the beauty sheet 110 or the mounting base 122, other modes may be adopted. For example, ultrasonic welding, welding, adhesion, etc. can be adopted. Also, the shape of the mounting base 122 is not limited to that described above. For example, it may be semi-circular or semi-elliptical.Alternatively, the tension thread 120 and the mounting base 122 may be configured as separate members, and the tension thread 120 may be attached to the mounting base 122. Further, the mounting base 122 is not limited to being composed of a mesh cloth, and may be in the form of a film or may have a porous form such as a nanofiber sheet. Also, the mounting base 122 in the present embodiment uses resin fibers such as polypropylene (PP), polyurethane (PU), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), but other materials may be used, for example, biofibers such as cellulose, carbon fibers, metal fibers such as tungsten, or natural fibers such as cellulose, or a mixture of two or more of these materials may be used. Further, the beauty sheet 110 may be omitted, and a mode of attaching to the skin with the mounting base 122 may be adopted. In this case, it is also possible for the mounting base 122 to function as the beauty sheet 110. Also, for example, a single-threaded yarn is used to create a mesh cloth for the mounting base 122. Alternatively, when the mounting base 122 is made of resin, it may be in the form of a film or a mesh. The mode of attaching or pulling out the tension thread 120 to / from the mounting base 122 is applicable to any of the above-described modes.
[0026] The tension threads 120 attached to the beauty sheet 110 extend from one side edge of the beauty sheet 110. The plurality of tension threads 120 drawn out from the beauty sheet 110 have their tips bundled to form a bundling part 121. The bundling part 121 is connected to one end of the elastic cord 130. In this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which a dozen or so tension threads 120 are attached to the beauty sheet 110, but the number of the tension threads 120 to be configured can be set arbitrarily. In this case, it is desirable that the number of the tension threads 120 be set so that a tensile force is evenly applied to the beauty sheet 110. The fiber diameter of the tension thread 120 is, for example, 2.5 to 20 μm. Note that the fiber diameter of the tension thread 120 can be set arbitrarily, but it is preferably a dimension that is difficult to visually recognize in the use state. The tension thread 120 is composed of a resin thread such as polypropylene (PP) or polycarbonate (PC), but it may be composed of other materials. For example, as the material applied to the tension thread 120, a synthetic thread, a natural thread, a metal thread, or the like can be adopted. Further, it is desirable that the tension thread 120 has a certain strength so as not to be cut when the beauty sheet 110 is pulled.
[0027] Further, in this embodiment, the attachment mode of the tension thread 120 to the beauty sheet 110 is not limited to the above-described one, and other modes may be adopted. For example, it may be attached in a mode in which an attachment base 122 to which the tension thread 120 is fixed is welded to the beauty sheet 110. Further, it may be attached in a mode in which an attachment base 122 to which the tension thread 120 is fixed is woven into the beauty sheet 110. Further, it may be a mode in which the attachment base 122 to which the tension thread 120 is fixed is subjected to a chemical treatment and then attached to the beauty sheet 110. Further, it may be attached in a mode in which the tension thread 120 is directly welded to the beauty sheet 110. Further, it may be a mode in which the tension thread 120 is directly adhered to the beauty sheet 110 with an adhesive.
[0028] The elastic cord 130 is composed of a rubber thread as the core material, and the outer periphery thereof is covered with a plurality of synthetic fibers subjected to wool processing. The elastic cord 130 having such a configuration is also called so-called wool rubber. Note that the material used as the core material may be other than natural rubber as long as it is an elastic material. Further, the elastic cord 130 is not limited to wool rubber, and other materials may be adopted as long as they can be stretched, for example, a material composed only of rubber threads may be applied. One end of the elastic cord 130 is connected to a bundling portion 121 where a plurality of tension threads 120 are bundled, for example, by adhesion. Further, the means for fixing the tension thread 120 and the elastic cord 130 may be other than adhesion, for example, welding or knitting.
[0029] FIG. 2 shows the hook-and-loop fastener constituting the beauty tool, (a) is a view showing the single-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200, and (b) is a view showing the double-sided hook-and-loop fastener 250.
[0030] The single-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200 is configured to include a flexible thin substrate 210 and innumerable engaging elements 220 protruding from the surface side of the substrate 210.
[0031] The substrate 210 is formed of, for example, polypropylene (PP), but any material applicable to a known hook-and-loop fastener may be adopted as the material applied to the substrate 210.
[0032] The engaging element 220 includes a shaft portion 221 integrally formed with the substrate 210 at the base end and a substantially hemispherical head portion 222 formed at the tip of the shaft portion 221. That is, the engaging element 220 has a mushroom shape. Innumerable engaging elements 220 are irregularly arranged with respect to the substrate 210. Note that the engaging elements 220 may be arranged in a row with respect to the substrate 210 or in a staggered grid pattern. The shaft portion 221 has a predetermined hardness and flexibility, and elastically deforms when pressed by the head portion 222.
[0033] The double-sided fastener 250 is composed of a flexible and thin base material 260 and innumerable engaging elements 220 protruding from the front surface 251 and the back surface 252 of the base material 260 respectively. Note that since the double-sided fastener 250 has the same configuration as the single-sided fastener 200 except that the engaging elements 220 are arranged on both sides of the base material, detailed description thereof is omitted.
[0034] Since the single-sided fastener 200 and the double-sided fastener 250 are configured as described above, when a pair of fasteners 200, 250 are pressed such that the surfaces on which the engaging elements 220 are formed face each other, the engaging elements 220 engage with each other and the pair of fasteners 200, 250 are adhered. At this time, the interval between adjacent shaft portions 221 becomes smaller than the thickness of a bundle of hair or the shaft diameter of the elastic cord 130. Therefore, as will be described in detail later, when the bundle of hair or the elastic cord 130 sandwiched by the pair of fasteners 200, 250 is pulled, slippage between the bundle of hair or the elastic cord 130 and the engaging elements 220 due to frictional sliding is suppressed, preventing the bundle of hair or the elastic cord 130 from slipping out of the fasteners 200, 250. That is, when the elastic cord 130 is pulled and extended and then sandwiched by the pair of fasteners 200, 250, slippage between the elastic cord 130 and the engaging elements 220 due to frictional sliding suppresses contraction of the elastic cord 130, enabling the pair of fasteners 200, 250 to hold the tensile force of the elastic cord 130.
[0035] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an auxiliary cord 300 constituting a beauty tool.
[0036] The auxiliary string 300 includes a string portion 310 and an annular insertion portion 320 formed at the tip of the string portion 310. The string portion 310 is composed of a rubber thread as a core material, and its outer periphery is covered with a plurality of synthetic fibers processed with wool. That is, the string portion 310 is composed of stretchable wool rubber. The insertion portion 320 can be attached to the human head by inserting, for example, bundled hair. The other end of the string portion 310 is fixed to the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 attached to the human head by being clamped by the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 as described later.
[0037] The procedure for performing beauty treatment using the beauty tool configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7. In the following description, in order to show the attachment procedure of the beauty tool to the human head, some parts such as hair may be described without illustration.
[0038] First, as shown in FIG. 4(A), the beauty sheet 110 constituting the sheet portion 100 is attached near the portion where beauty improvement is to be performed. In FIG. 4(A), the beauty sheet 110 is attached to the cheek CH.
[0039] Next, as shown in FIG. 4(B), the position for fixing the one-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200 is determined, and a predetermined amount of hair HR in the vicinity is separated and bundled. At this time, in order to prevent the hair HR other than the separated hair HR from getting in the way, for example, a hairpin HP may be used. The hair HR separated and bundled as described above is attached to the one-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200. Then, as shown in FIG. 4(C), due to the sliding friction between the engaging element 220 of the one-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200 and the bundle of hair HR, the one-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200 is in a state of engaging and holding the bundle of hair HR. That is, it can be said that the one-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200 is detachably fixed to the head HD of the human body HM via the bundle of hair HR.
[0040] Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5(A), the back surface 252 of the double-sided fastener 250 is attached to the front surface of the single-sided fastener 200 that has already been attached. At this time, the bundle of hair HR engaged and held by the single-sided fastener 200 is sandwiched between the front surface of the single-sided fastener 200 and the back surface 252 of the double-sided fastener 250. That is, it can be said that the front surface of the single-sided fastener 200 as the fourth fastener surface portion and the back surface 252 of the double-sided fastener 250 as the third fastener surface portion are detachably adhered, and the bundle of hair HR is sandwiched between them.
[0041] Next, as shown in FIG. 5(B), the elastic cord 130 is extended to apply a predetermined tensile force to the beauty sheet 110, and as shown in FIG. 5(C), the extended elastic cord 130 is attached to the front surface 251 of the double-sided fastener 250 attached to the single-sided fastener 200. Then, as shown in FIG. 6(A), the double-sided fastener 250 is in a state of engaging and holding the elastic cord 130. That is, it can be said that the elastic cord 130 is fixed to the head HD of the human body HM via the fasteners 200 and 250. In this embodiment, the bundle of hair HR and the elastic cord 130 are sandwiched by different fastener surfaces, but they may be sandwiched by the same fastener surface. That is, the bundle of hair HR and the elastic cord 130 may be sandwiched between the first fastener surface portion and the second fastener surface portion.
[0042] Subsequently, the auxiliary cord 300 is attached to the temple SB in the manner shown in FIGS. 6(a) to 6(c). That is, as shown in FIG. 6(a), a predetermined quantity is separated from the temple SB of the hair HR, bundled, and sandwiched by a pair of single-sided fasteners 200. Then, as shown in FIG. 6(b), the bundle of the temple SB separated is inserted into the insertion portion 320 of the auxiliary cord 300, and the insertion portion 320 is moved to a position closer to the hair root side than the pair of single-sided fasteners 200 attached to the temple SB. Then, as shown in FIG. 6(c), when the cord portion 310 of the auxiliary cord 300 is pulled to narrow the hole diameter of the insertion portion 320, the auxiliary cord 300 becomes difficult to detach from the temple SB. In this way, the auxiliary cord 300 can be attached to the temple SB.
[0043] As described above, after the auxiliary string 300 is attached to the temple SB, by pulling the string portion 310, a tensile force can be applied to the skin in the vicinity of the temple SB. When the beauty sheet 110 is attached and a tensile force is applied to the beauty sheet 110 by the elastic string 130, the skin in the vicinity of the beauty sheet 110 is pulled, and thus wrinkles and slackness can be stretched. However, wrinkles and slackness may occur in other parts. In that case, by pulling the auxiliary string 300 attached to the temple SB, the wrinkles and slackness caused by the tensile force of the beauty sheet 110 can be stretched, and the beauty effect can be further improved.
[0044] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6(B), the auxiliary string 300 attached to the temple SB extends its string portion 310 and engages it with the surface 251 of the double-sided fastener 250 to which the elastic string 130 of the sheet portion 100 is attached, as shown in FIG. 7(A). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7(B), the single-sided fastener 200 is attached to the surface 251 of the double-sided fastener 250. At this time, the elastic string 130 and the auxiliary string 300 engaged and held by the double-sided fastener 250 are sandwiched between the surface 251 of the double-sided fastener 250 and the single-sided fastener 200. That is, it can be said that the double-sided fastener 250 has a surface 251 as a second fastener surface portion and a back surface 252 as a third fastener surface portion that are integrally formed on the front and back. Also, the surface of the single-sided fastener 200 as the first fastener surface portion and the surface 251 of the double-sided fastener 250 as the second fastener surface portion are detachably adhered, and it can be said that the elastic string 130 and the auxiliary string 300 are sandwiched therebetween. When the auxiliary string 300 is not used, the elastic string 130 is sandwiched between the surface 251 of the double-sided fastener 250 and the single-sided fastener 200.
[0045] After the beauty appliance is worn as described above, as shown in FIG. 7(C), by covering the beauty appliance with the hair HR, it becomes less noticeable that the beauty appliance is worn.
[0046] In the present embodiment, the elastic cord 130 and the auxiliary cord 300 are fixed to the head HD of the human body HM by the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 to reduce the discomfort during wearing. However, fixing members other than the hook-and-loop fasteners may be used. For example, hairpins used when gathering hair, or so-called wig pins used when attaching a wig or a hairpiece to the head of the human body may be used. Further, instead of the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250, for example, clips or sleepins (sometimes called "patch fasteners") may be used. In the present embodiment, the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 are used to fix the beauty tool to the head HD of the human body HM, but they may also be used when fixing a wig, a hairpiece, or hair extensions to the head HD of the human body HM. In this case, for example, an elastic cord may be attached to a wig, a hairpiece, or hair extensions, and in a state where this elastic cord is extended, the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 according to the present embodiment may be used to fix them to the head HD to attach the wig, the hairpiece, or the hair extensions to the head HD. Alternatively, without using an elastic cord, hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 may be directly attached to a wig, a hairpiece, or hair extensions, and they may be attached to the head HD by fixing them to the hair HR with these hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250.
[0047] Also, in the present embodiment, the insertion portion 320 is provided in the auxiliary cord 300, and the auxiliary cord 300 is attached to the temple SB by inserting it through the temple SB. However, the insertion portion 320 may not be provided in the auxiliary cord 300, and the auxiliary cord 300 and the temple SB may be sandwiched by the single-sided hook-and-loop fastener 200 to attach the auxiliary cord 300 to the temple SB.
[0048] The effects when performing a beauty treatment using the beauty tool configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 8.
[0049] FIG. 8 shows the states before and after performing a beauty treatment (e.g., stretching wrinkles and sagging) using the beauty tool according to this embodiment. FIG. 8(A) shows the appearance of the face before the beauty treatment. Wrinkles are formed respectively below the eyes EY and at the lower part of the cheeks CH on the face of the human body HM shown in FIG. 8(A). Here, the wrinkle below the eyes EY is referred to as wrinkle WK1, and the wrinkle (also called nasolabial fold) at the lower part of the cheeks CH is referred to as wrinkle WK2.
[0050] FIG. 8(B) shows a state in which a beauty treatment is being performed using the beauty tool according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8(B), the beauty sheet 110 of the sheet part 100 is attached to the left and right cheeks CH respectively. In that state, when the elastic cord 130 is pulled and attached to the hair by the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250, a tensile force is applied to the cheeks CH, and the wrinkle WK1 below the eyes EY and the wrinkle WK2 or sagging at the lower part of the cheeks CH are stretched. In that state, the beauty effect can be enhanced by repeatedly performing the operation of continuously wearing the beauty tool for a predetermined time (e.g., 6 hours). That is, the effect of stretching wrinkles and sagging of the facial skin is enhanced. Also, since a tensile force is applied to the beauty sheet 110, the adhesion to the skin is increased, for example, the beauty material applied to the beauty sheet 110 can easily penetrate the skin, and the beauty effect can be enhanced.
[0051] In this embodiment, a tensile force is applied to the beauty sheet 110 by pulling the elastic cord 130 and attaching it to the hair by the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250, thereby enhancing the beauty effect. However, the tension thread 120 may be directly wound around the hair HR in a state where a tensile force is applied to the beauty sheet 110 attached to the skin.
[0052] As described above, according to the present embodiment, the beauty tool includes a beauty sheet 110 to be attached to the face, an elastic string 130 that is stretchable and applies a tensile force to the beauty sheet 110, and a plurality of tension threads 120 extending from the end of the beauty sheet 110. The elastic string 130 is formed by converging and connecting the tips of the plurality of tension threads 120. The beauty tool applies a tensile force to the beauty sheet 110 by stretching the elastic string 130. As a result, it becomes possible to provide a beauty tool that can further enhance the beauty effect by increasing the tensile force on the beauty sheet.
[0053] Further, according to the present embodiment, the beauty sheet 110 is composed of a nanofiber sheet spun by an electrospinning method. Therefore, the thickness of the sheet can be reduced, and it can be made less conspicuous when the beauty tool is worn.
[0054] Further, according to the present embodiment, the elastic string 130 is formed by covering the outer periphery of a rubber thread with a plurality of fibers that are wool-processed with the rubber thread as a core material. Therefore, it becomes possible to effectively apply a tensile force to the beauty sheet.
[0055] Further, according to the present embodiment, the beauty tool includes surface fasteners 200 and 250 for fixing the elastic string 130 to the head HD of the human body HM. The elastic string 130 is fixed to the head HD of the human body HM by sandwiching the elastic string 130 and the hair HR with the surface fasteners 200 and 250. Therefore, the discomfort when wearing the beauty tool can be reduced.
[0056] Further, according to the present embodiment, the surface fasteners 200 and 250 are configured to include the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200 in which innumerable engaging elements 220 are irregularly arranged with respect to the surfaces of the base materials 210 and 260, and the surface 251 of the double-sided surface fastener 250. The engaging element 220 is in the shape of a mushroom. The surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200 is detachably adhered to the surface 251 of the double-sided surface fastener 250. When the stretchable string 130 in the extended state is sandwiched between the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200 and the double-sided surface fastener 250, the contraction of the stretchable string 130 is suppressed by the sliding friction between the stretchable string 130 and the engaging element 220. Therefore, the beauty effect by the beauty sheet can be further improved.
[0057] Further, according to the present embodiment, the surface fasteners 200 and 250 are further configured to include the back surface 252 of the double-sided surface fastener 250 and the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200. The back surface 252 of the double-sided surface fastener 250 and the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200 are such that innumerable engaging elements 220 are irregularly arranged with respect to the surfaces of the base materials 210 and 260. The back surface 252 of the double-sided surface fastener 250 is detachably adhered to the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200. The back surface 252 of the double-sided surface fastener 250 is integrally formed on the back surface of the base material 260 of the surface 251 of the double-sided surface fastener 250. By sandwiching the hair HR between the back surface 252 of the double-sided surface fastener 250 and the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200, and sandwiching the stretchable string 130 between the surface of the single-sided surface fastener 200 and the surface 251 of the double-sided surface fastener 250, the stretchable string 130 is fixed to the head HD of the human body HM. Therefore, the beauty tool can be firmly fixed to the head.
[0058] Further, according to the present embodiment, a sheet-like mounting base 122 is provided at the proximal end portions of the plurality of tension strings 120. By attaching the mounting base 122 provided with the plurality of tension strings 120 to the beauty sheet 110, the plurality of tension strings 120 are connected to the beauty sheet 110. Therefore, the tension strings can be easily attached to the beauty sheet, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0059] In addition, the mounting base 122 includes a mesh cross formed by arranging a plurality of threads in a cross shape. The plurality of tension threads 120 are formed by extending the threads constituting the mesh cross of the mounting base 122. Therefore, the tension threads and the mounting base can be integrated, reducing the number of parts and the manufacturing cost.
[0060] In addition, the mounting base 122 is formed in a substantially triangular shape. Therefore, the tensile force applied to the mounting base can be dispersed, improving the strength.
[0061] In addition, the plurality of tension threads 120 are respectively attached to the mounting base 122. Therefore, the tension threads can be provided on the mounting base in a simple manner, reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0062] In addition, the plurality of tension threads 120 are directly attached to the beauty sheet 110 respectively. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0063] In addition, according to the present embodiment, the auxiliary string 300 is stretchable. One end of the auxiliary string 300 is attached to the temple, and the other end is fixed to the hook-and-loop fasteners 200 and 250 to stretch the slack generated on the face by the tensile force of the beauty sheet 110. Therefore, the beauty effect can be further enhanced.
[0064] It should be noted that the actions and effects described in the embodiments of the present invention only list the most preferable actions and effects resulting from the present invention, and the actions and effects according to the present invention are not limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention.
