Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to false eyelashes. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, false eyelashes have been composed of multiple eyelash bodies made of artificial hair or the like, and a stem that supports the base end of each eyelash body, and the stems are attached to the eyelid along the eyelash line with adhesive (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-114952 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, conventional false eyelashes 201 such as those disclosed in Patent Document 1 are formed by arranging a plurality of eyelash main bodies 203 in the extension direction of a stem 202 having a circular cross section, as shown in Fig. 6, and cutting the stem 202 between the connection portions with the eyelash main bodies 203. As a result, burrs 204 are generated on both ends of the stem 202 in the extension direction of each false eyelash 201. As a result, when attaching the stem 202 of the false eyelashes 201 to the eyelashes or after attaching them, there is a risk that the burrs 204 will prick the eyelash root of the eyelid, causing discomfort. Furthermore, conventional false eyelashes 201 are attached by crossing the eyelash body 203 over the stem 202, which means that the part where the false eyelashes are attached to the base of the eyelashes is thick, making the false eyelashes 201 more likely to come into contact with the base of the eyelashes, which can be uncomfortable when blinking.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide false eyelashes that are more comfortable to wear than conventional false eyelashes. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] One aspect of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is false eyelashes having a stem and a plurality of eyelash main bodies, the stem extending in a curved or linear manner in a first direction, the base ends of the eyelash main bodies being connected to the stem and extending from the stem in a direction intersecting the first direction, and the end face of the stem in the first direction forming a single surface continuous with the end face of the eyelash main bodies in the first direction.

[0007] According to this aspect, the end face of the stem and the end face of the main eyelash part in the extension direction of the stem are flush with each other, so the end face of the stem does not protrude beyond the end face of the main eyelash part, preventing the stem from piercing the user's eyelid when or after attaching the eyelash liner to the base of the user's eyelashes. This makes the product more comfortable to wear than conventional products.

[0008] In a preferred aspect, the stem portion has, when viewed in a plane, a second side that forms an end face in the first direction and a first side that is adjacent to the second side on the opposite side of the eyelash main body portion, and the corners of the stem portion formed by the first side and the second side are rounded when viewed in a plane.

[0009] In a preferred aspect, the second side is inclined at an obtuse angle with respect to the first side.

[0010] In a preferred aspect, the stem portion intersects the eyelash body portion in a plane.

[0011] The term "level intersection" here refers to an intersection on the same level.

[0012] In a preferred aspect, the stem portion and the eyelash body portion are integrally molded.

[0013] In a preferred aspect, the shaft portion is flat and has a mounting surface, and the mounting surface is smooth.

[0014] In a preferred aspect, the eyelash body is flat and has an average thickness of 0.05 mm or less.

[0015] The term "average thickness" used here refers to the arithmetic mean of thicknesses measured at three points spaced apart by at least 0.1 mm in any direction. The same applies hereinafter.

[0016] In a preferred aspect, the average thickness of the shaft portion is 0.05 mm or less.

[0017] One aspect of the present invention is a false eyelash having a stem and a plurality of eyelash main bodies, the stem extending in a curved or linear manner in a first direction, the base ends of the eyelash main bodies being connected to the stem and extending from the stem in a direction intersecting the first direction, and the stems intersecting the eyelash main bodies at a plane.

[0018] According to this aspect, the thickness of the eyelash body can be partially or entirely absorbed into the thickness of the stem, making the overall thickness thinner than before and improving the fit compared to before, resulting in a more comfortable fit compared to before.

[0019] The above aspects may be made dependent on each other, or some of the configurations may be quoted or substituted for each other, as long as they are included in the technical scope of the present invention. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] The false eyelashes of the present invention are more comfortable to wear than conventional false eyelashes. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0023] The false eyelashes 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention are suitable for attachment to the base of the eyelashes 102 of the eyelid 101 (101a, 101b) of the user 100, as shown in Figure 1, and are specifically partial false eyelashes that are narrower than the width of the eyelid 101 of the user 100. The false eyelashes 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention can be attached to the base of the eyelashes 102 of the upper eyelid 101a as shown in FIG. 1, and can also be attached to the base of the eyelashes 102 of the lower eyelid 101b. The false eyelashes 1 may be attached to the eyelashes 102 of the user 100 or to the eyelids 101 of the user 100. The false eyelashes 1 may be attached to the upper side of the eyelashes 102 of the user 100 or may be attached to the lower side of the eyelashes 102 of the user 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the false eyelashes 1 have a stem 2 and an eyelash body 3, which are integrally molded.

[0024] <Shaft 2> As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the shaft portion 2 is a flat sheet-like body having a front main surface 5 and a back main surface 6 (mounting surface). The shaft portion 2 has a width in the second direction Y (width direction) and extends in a curved or linear shape in the first direction X (length direction). The shaft portion 2 is made of elastic resin and is elastically deformable. The average thickness of the shaft portion 2 is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 0.035 mm or more and 0.07 mm or less. The average thickness of the shaft portion 2 is preferably 0.05 mm or less, and more preferably 0.04 mm or less. As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed in a plane, the shaft portion 2 has first sides 10, 11 whose outer peripheral edge extends in a first direction X, and second sides 12, 13 which extend in a second direction Y (a direction perpendicular to the first direction X and perpendicular to the thickness direction). In addition, corners of the shaft portion 2 formed by the first side 11 and the second sides 12, 13 on the side opposite to the eyelash main body portion 3 are rounded into arc-shaped portions 15, 16, respectively.

[0025] 4(b), the second sides 12 and 13 extend in an inverted V shape and are inclined with a first direction component and a second direction component relative to the first side 11. That is, the second sides 12 and 13 are inclined at an obtuse angle relative to the first side 11 and gradually become more spaced apart from the first side 11 toward the first side 10. The inclination angles θ1 and θ2 of the second sides 12 and 13 relative to the first side 11 shown in FIG. 4(b) are preferably greater than 90 degrees and equal to or less than 120 degrees.

[0026] The front main surface 5 is an exposed surface that is exposed to the outside when the device is attached to the base of the eyelashes 102 of the eyelid 101 of the user 100. The rear main surface 6 is a mounting surface that is attached to the eyelid 101 of the user 100 in the vicinity of the base of the eyelashes 102, and is a smooth surface that is substantially free of irregularities.

[0027] <Eyelash main body 3> The eyelash main body 3 is an artificial hair made of resin, and extends in a curved shape when viewed from the side. The eyelash main body 3 is made of elastic resin and is elastically deformable. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the base end of the eyelash main body 3 is connected to the end face of the stem 2 to which the first side 10 belongs. The eyelash body 3 is flat, has a width in the first direction X, and extends in the second direction Y from the stem 2 . The cross section of the eyelash main body 3 perpendicular to the extension direction is a square or rounded square, tapering from the base end to the tip end. In this embodiment, the cross section of the eyelash main body 3 at a position 1 mm from the base end (the connection part with the stem 2) is a rectangle with a long side in the first direction X and a short side in the thickness direction. The average thickness of the eyelash body 3 is preferably 0.05 mm or less, and more preferably 0.04 mm or less. The false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment have 18 eyelash bodies 3, including eyelash bodies 3 of multiple lengths and eyelash bodies 3 of multiple positions relative to the shaft 2. The eyelash body 3 is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1.2 mm or more and 35 mm or less.

[0028] Next, the positional relationship of each part of the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment will be described.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the false eyelash 1 has an end face (shaft-side end faces 50a, 50b) in the first direction X of the shaft portion 2 that forms a single surface (side surface) that is continuous with the end faces (hair-side end faces 60a, 60b) in the first direction X of the eyelash main bodies 3A, 3B that are located outermost among the multiple eyelash main bodies 3. The side surfaces of the false eyelash 1 extend in a curved shape from the shaft-side end faces 50a, 50b of the shaft portion 2 toward the hair-side end faces 60a, 60b of the eyelash main bodies 3A, 3B. In the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the thickness of each eyelash body 3 is approximately the same as the thickness of the stem 2, the front main surface 5 of the stem 2 and the front surface of each eyelash body 3 form the same plane and are flush, and the back main surface 6 of the stem 2 and the back surface of each eyelash body 3 form the same plane and are flush. In the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, each eyelash body 3 partially protrudes in the second direction Y from the end face of the stem 2 to which the first side 10 belongs.

[0030] According to the false eyelash 1 of this embodiment, the shaft-side end faces 50a, 50b of the stem 2 in the first direction X (longitudinal direction) form a single continuous surface with the hair-side end faces 60a, 60b of the eyelash main body 3 in the first direction X. That is, the shaft-side end faces 50a, 50b of the stem 2 in the extension direction of the stem 2 are flush with the hair-side end faces 60a, 60b of the eyelash main body 3. This prevents the stem 2 from protruding beyond the hair-side end faces 60a, 60b of the eyelash main body 3, preventing the stem 2 from piercing the eyelid 101 when or after attaching the false eyelash 1 to the base of the eyelash 102 of the eyelid 101 of the user 100. This results in a more comfortable fit than conventional false eyelashes.

[0031] According to the false eyelash 1 of this embodiment, the stem 2 has, in plan view, second sides 12, 13 that constitute the stem-side end faces 50a, 50b in the first direction X, and a first side 11 that is adjacent to the second sides 12, 13 on the opposite side of the eyelash main body 3, and the stem 2 has rounded corners formed by the second sides 12, 13 and the first side 11 in plan view. That is, the corners formed by the second sides 12, 13 and the first side 11 of the stem 2 are rounded to form arc-shaped portions 15, 16, so that the corners are not sharp and the arc-shaped portions 15, 16 of the stem 2 are unlikely to injure the skin of the eyelid 101 even if they come into contact with the eyelid 101.

[0032] According to the false eyelash 1 of this embodiment, the second sides 12, 13 are inclined at an obtuse angle relative to the first side 11. In other words, the angles θ1, θ2 formed by the second sides 12, 13 and the first side 11 are obtuse angles, which allows the eyelash main body 3 to be wider in the extension direction of the stem 2, resulting in a better design than conventional false eyelashes.

[0033] According to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the stem 2 intersects the eyelash main body 3 in a plane. This allows the thickness of part of the eyelash main body 3 to be absorbed by the thickness of the stem 2, making the overall average thickness thinner than conventional false eyelashes, and improving the fit compared to conventional false eyelashes. As a result, the false eyelashes are more comfortable to wear than conventional false eyelashes.

[0034] In the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the stem 2 and the eyelash main body 3 are integrally molded. That is, in the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the stem 2 and the eyelash main body 3 are integrally formed with no interface between them, so the stem 2 and the eyelash main body 3 can be connected without using adhesive, and the eyelash main body 3 is less likely to peel off from the stem 2 than conventional false eyelashes.

[0035] According to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the stem 2 is flat and has a smooth back main surface 6 that serves as the attachment surface. That is, according to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the back main surface 6 can be attached in a planar manner to the base of the eyelashes 102 of the eyelid 101, so the stem 2 can be securely attached without freely rotating in the circumferential direction. In addition, adhesives and the like can be easily applied to the back main surface 6.

[0036] According to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the eyelash main body 3 is flat and has an average thickness of 0.05 mm or less. That is, according to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the thickness of the eyelash main body 3 is thin, so the tip side of the eyelash main body 3 can flutter in the wind, and it is light and comfortable to wear.

[0037] According to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the average thickness of the stem 2 is 0.05 mm or less. That is, according to the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment, the average thickness of the stem 2 is thin, so when worn on the eyelid 101 at the base of the eyelashes 102, a better fit is obtained, and the false eyelashes 1 of this embodiment are comfortable to wear.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the thickness of the eyelash main body 3 is the same as the thickness of the stem 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. The thickness of the eyelash main body 3 may be thicker than the thickness of the stem 2.

[0039] In the above-described embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the eyelash main body 3 is a square or a rounded square, but the present invention is not limited to this. The cross-sectional shape of the eyelash main body 3 may be a circle, an ellipse, or an oval. The cross-sectional shape of the eyelash main body 3 may also be a polygonal shape such as a triangle, a pentagon, or a hexagon. In this case, each corner may be rounded.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the thickness of the eyelash main body 3 is equal to the thickness of the stem 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. The thickness of the eyelash main body 3 may be thicker or thinner than the thickness of the stem 2. When the thickness of the eyelash main body 3 is thicker than the thickness of the stem 2, it is preferable that a portion of the eyelash main body 3 overlaps the stem 2, as shown in Figure 5. This increases the connection area between the eyelash main body 3 and the stem 2, making it less likely that the eyelash main body 3 will tear off from the stem 2.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the eyelashes are provided with 18 eyelash bodies 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of eyelash bodies 3 is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the length of the eyelash body 3 and its position relative to the shaft 2 are not particularly limited.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the rear main surface 6 of the stem portion 2 is a smooth surface, but the present invention is not limited to this. The rear main surface 6 of the stem portion 2 may have minute irregularities formed thereon.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the corners formed by the first side 11 and the second sides 12, 13 are rounded, but the present invention is not limited to this. The corners formed by the first side 11 and the second sides 12, 13 may be angular.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the second sides 12 and 13 are inclined with respect to the first side 11, but the present invention is not limited to this. The second sides 12 and 13 may be perpendicular to the first side 11, or may be inclined so that the inclination angles θ1 and θ2 with respect to the first side 11 are acute angles.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the shaft-side end faces 50a, 50b of the false eyelash 1 form a single flat surface that is continuous with the hair-side end faces 60a, 60b of the eyelash main body portions 3A, 3B that are located on the outermost side of the multiple eyelash main body portions 3, but the present invention is not limited to this. The shaft-side end faces 50a, 50b of the false eyelash 1 may also form a single curved surface that is continuous with the hair-side end faces 60a, 60b of the eyelash main body portions 3A, 3B that are located on the outermost side of the multiple eyelash main body portions 3.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the false eyelashes 1 are partial false eyelashes, but the present invention is not limited to this. They may be full false eyelashes that are approximately the same width as the eyelid 101 of the user 100.

[0047] In the above-described embodiments, each component can be freely substituted or added between the respective embodiments as long as it falls within the technical scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
