Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an eye face mask with an eye makeup protection function that protects eye makeup (makeup applied to the eyes) such as false eyelashes, eyelash extensions, mascara, and eye shadow. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, face masks that protect makeup applied to the face have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a three-dimensional sleeping face mask that is three-dimensionally formed so as to protrude forward from the face in order to prevent the basic cosmetic applied to the facial skin from evaporating while sleeping. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-137036 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, face masks such as those described in Patent Document 1 always cover the front of the face, which can make users feel short of breath or make them hesitant to use them in some situations because they are too bulky, making them difficult to use.

[0005] The present invention has been made in response to such problems in the prior art, and aims to provide a user-friendly eye face mask with eye makeup protection function that can serve as both a face mask with eye makeup protection function and an eye mask in one product, allowing users to use both as a face mask while protecting eye makeup such as false eyelashes, eyelash extensions, mascara, eye shadow, etc., or as a convenient eye mask depending on the situation or circumstances. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve such problems, the eye face mask with eye makeup protection function of the present invention is a cover part made of a flexible material and covering at least a part of the front of the face, the first surface of which is formed in a size and shape to face the part of the front of the user's face from above the eyes to below the nose or around the mouth, and a cover part that is arranged above the first surface side of the cover part and extends in the left and right direction as seen from the user so as to face or abut the part above the eyes or the forehead of the user, and has a "space to prevent the cover part from contacting the user's eye makeup or preventing the cover part from interfering with the user's eye makeup" at least in front of the eye makeup on the front side of the user's face. and an attachment part attached to the upper part of the cover part for attaching or mounting the upper part of the cover part to the user's forehead or head, the gap forming part is positioned so that when a virtual line extending in the left-right direction as seen from the user approximately 2 to 7 cm (more desirably, approximately 2.5 to 6 cm or approximately 3 to 5 cm) below the upper edge of the cover part or its surrounding area is considered to be a folding part, the vertical height of the lower end of the gap forming part as seen from the user is approximately the same as the folding part, and the gap forming part is capable of being folded or rotated via the folding part (with the folding part as the center of rotation) in the direction of a second surface opposite the first surface of the cover part.

[0007] Furthermore, in the eye-face mask with eye makeup protection function according to the present invention, it is desirable that the attachment portion is configured so that the cover portion can be attached or secured to the user's forehead or head, even when the gap forming portion is positioned closer to the front of the user's face than the cover portion, or even when the gap forming portion is positioned on the opposite side of the cover portion from the front of the user's face.

[0008] In addition, in the eye face mask with eye makeup protection function of the present invention, the cover portion may be provided with a first locking portion for temporarily fixing the band portion to both left and right ends above the second surface when the gap forming portion is positioned closer to the front side of the user's face than the cover portion, and a second locking portion for temporarily fixing the band portion to both left and right ends of the gap forming portion folded or rotated toward the second surface when the gap forming portion is positioned on the opposite side from the front side of the user's face via the cover portion.

[0009] Furthermore, in the eye-face mask with eye makeup protection function of the present invention, it is preferable that the lower end of the gap forming portion is located in an area approximately 2 to 5 cm below the upper end of the cover portion. Effect of the Invention

[0010] As described above, in the present invention, the gap forming portion is provided above the first surface side (the side facing the front of the user's face) of the cover portion, so that when the cover portion is attached by the attachment portion so that the first surface and the space portion of the cover portion face the front of the user's face and forehead, the cover portion can cover the area on the front of the user's face from above both eyes to the area around the mouth, while creating a predetermined space on the front side of the user's face (in front of the eye makeup). Thus, the user can use the present invention as a face mask while preventing the cover portion from contacting the user's eye makeup or preventing the cover portion from interfering with the user's eye makeup.

[0011] Furthermore, when used as a face mask in this manner, the lower end of the cover portion extends to the area around the user's nose or mouth, so that even if there is space near the user's eyes due to the gap forming portion, sufficient darkness can be ensured around the user's eyes for sleep or rest.

[0012] On the other hand, in the present invention, the gap forming portion is configured to be able to be folded or rotated toward the second surface side opposite to the first surface of the cover portion via the folding portion (a virtual line extending in the left-right direction as seen from the user about 2 to 7 cm, about 2.5 to 6 cm, or about 3 to 5 cm below the upper edge of the cover portion or its surrounding portion, with the part at which the height in the up-down direction as seen from the user is approximately the same as the lower end of the gap forming portion) as the center of rotation. Therefore, when the cover portion is folded back (folded or rotated) in this manner, the lower end of the cover portion moves upward by about 2 to 7 cm, about 2.5 to 6 cm, or about 3 to 5 cm compared to the form when used as a face mask, resulting in a form that is just suitable for an eye mask (a form in which the vertical length of the cover portion as seen from the user is sufficiently shorter than the form as a face mask). Therefore, in the present invention, when the cover part after folding back the gap forming portion as described above is attached by the attachment part so that the first surface of the cover part faces the front of the user's face and forehead, the lower end of the first surface will be positioned around the user's nose (because the folding or rotating of the gap forming portion shortens the vertical length, as seen from the user, of the first surface of the cover part facing the front of the user's face and forehead by the amount that the gap forming portion is folded or rotated), and the user can use the present invention as a convenient eye mask rather than as a face mask.

[0013] Furthermore, when used as an eye mask in this manner, the gap-forming portion is not present on the front side of the cover part on the user's face, and any space between the cover part and the area around the user's eyes is very small, so sufficient darkness can be ensured around the user's eyes (in contrast, if the gap-forming portion is positioned on the front side of the cover part on the user's face when used as an eye mask in which the cover part has a short vertical length as described above, the space formed in front of the user's eyes by the gap-forming portion will make it impossible to ensure sufficient darkness around the user's eyes for sleep or rest).

[0014] As described above, according to the present invention, users can use both a face mask with eye makeup protection function and an eye mask depending on the situation and circumstances, such as using it as a face mask while protecting eye makeup such as false eyelashes, eyelash extensions, mascara, eye shadow, etc., or using it as a convenient eye mask depending on the individual situation or situation.This allows for the realization of a very convenient eye face mask that can serve as both a face mask with eye makeup protection function and an eye mask in one product.

[0015] In addition, in the present invention, when the cover portion is provided with a first locking portion for temporarily fixing the band portion to both left and right ends above the second surface when the gap forming portion is positioned closer to the front of the user's face than the cover portion, and a second locking portion for temporarily fixing the band portion to both left and right ends of the gap forming portion folded or rotated toward the second surface when the gap forming portion is positioned on the opposite side from the front of the user's face via the cover portion, the cover portion can be stably attached to the user's head whether the present invention is used as a face mask or an eye mask.

[0016] Furthermore, in the present invention, when the gap forming portion is configured so that its lower end is positioned in a region approximately 2 to 5 cm below the upper end of the cover portion, by folding the gap forming portion (at the boundary between the cover portion and the gap forming portion or its surrounding area) toward the second surface opposite the first surface of the cover portion, the first surface of the cover portion faces the front of the user's face, and when the cover portion is worn, the lower end of the first surface is positioned in the area around the nose on the front of the user's face, so that the cover portion can be made to have an appropriate size and shape for use as an eye mask.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] Next, an eye-face mask with eye makeup protection function according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the eye-face mask according to this embodiment, (a) is a perspective view showing the second side, (b) is a perspective view showing the first side, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the state when the embodiment is worn on the face of a user (not shown) to use it as a face mask, (a) is a perspective view showing the second side, and (b) is a perspective view showing the first side.

[0019] 1 and 2, 1 denotes a cover portion made of a flexible material such as cloth or resin. The cover portion 1 is formed in a size and shape such that a first surface 1a of the cover portion 1 faces at least a portion below the nose or around the mouth of the user's head and covers the portion. That is, the cover portion 1 is formed so that, when it faces the front of the user's face, its lower end portion 1ba is located at the height of the vicinity of the user's mouth, and its lower end central portion 1bb is located at the height of the vicinity below the user's nose.

[0020] 1 and 2, 2 denotes a gap forming part attached above the first surface 1a of the cover part 1. As shown in the figure, the gap forming part 2 is a rod-shaped body that is disposed on the first surface 1a side facing the user's head and extends in the left-right direction as seen from the user. The gap forming part 2 has a soft core material such as sponge or cloth disposed therein, and its outer periphery is covered with a soft sheet such as cloth or resin. The gap forming part 2 is disposed so that when a virtual line (line indicated by A in FIG. 1(a)) extending in the left-right direction as seen from the user, for example, at a distance of about 3 to 5 cm (distance indicated by B in FIG. 1(a)) below the upper edge of the cover part 1, or its surrounding portion is defined as a folded part A (in this specification, the folded part is given the same symbol as the above-mentioned virtual line A), the vertical height of the lower end of the gap forming part as seen from the user is approximately equal to the folded part A (=virtual line A).

[0021] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as described above, the cover part 1 is formed from a flexible material such as cloth or resin, so that the lower part of the gap forming part 2 of the cover part 1 (the boundary between the cover part 1 and the gap forming part 2 or the surrounding area) can be folded and rotated to fold (flip) the gap forming part 2 from the first surface 1a side to the second surface 1b side of the cover part 1 (details will be described later with regard to the operation of this embodiment).

[0022] In addition, in Figures 1 and 2, 3 denotes a locking portion (button) attached to both left and right ends of the second surface 1b of the cover portion 1 at the upper part in the figure, and 4 denotes a locking portion (button) attached to both left and right ends of the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1 at the upper part in the figure (both left and right ends of the gap forming portion 2).

[0023] When a user wears the eye-face mask of Fig. 1 on his / her face as a face mask, it is curved slightly left and right so as to fit the front of the user's face as shown in Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, 5 is a ring-shaped band part made of, for example, rubber, attached to the fastening part (button) 3.

[0024] Next, the operation when the present embodiment is used as a face mask will be described. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the eye face mask according to the present embodiment is worn as a face mask on the front of the user's face. When wearing the present embodiment as a face mask, as shown in FIGS. 3(a) and (b), the cover part 1 is arranged so that its first surface 1a faces the front of the user's face, its lower end 1ba covers up to the height position around the user's mouth, and its lower end central part 1bb covers up to the lower peripheral position of the user's nose. At this time, since the gap forming part 2 is arranged on the first surface 1a side (the side facing the user's face) above the cover part 1, a space 6 is formed between the front of the user's face and the cover part 1. This space 6 prevents the cover part 1 from coming into contact with the user's eye makeup as shown in FIG. 3(c), so that the cover part 1 does not come into contact with the user's eye makeup and the eye makeup is not ruined, and the user's eye makeup is protected.

[0025] Next, the operation of the eye mask according to this embodiment when used as an eye mask will be described. When using this embodiment as an eye mask instead of a face mask, the user first folds and rotates the gap forming part 2 (along with the peripheral part in the cover part 1 to which the gap forming part 2 is attached) from the form of the face mask shown in FIG. 4(a) (the same state as FIG. 1(b)) in a direction from the first surface 1a side of the cover part 1 to the second surface 1b side, that is, in the direction indicated by the arrow α in FIG. 4(a) and FIG. 4(b). That is, the space part 2 and a part of the cover part 1 to which it is attached are folded back in the direction indicated by the arrow α in FIG. 4(a) and FIG. 4(b) with the folded back part A (= virtual line A) in FIG. 4(a) as the center of rotation. FIG. 4(b) is a diagram showing the middle of this rotation. Then, as shown in FIG. 4(c), the gap forming part 2 is rotated (folded back) until the part of the second surface 1b of the cover part 1 to which the gap forming part 2 is attached abuts against the second surface 1b of the cover part 1. By folding, rotating and folding back (flipping) the gap forming portion 2 to the state shown in Figure 4(c), this embodiment 1 takes on a form suitable for use as an eye mask (a form in which the vertical length of the cover portion as seen by the user is sufficiently shorter than the form used as a face mask).

[0026] FIG. 5 shows the state when the present embodiment in the form shown in FIG. 4(c) is worn on the user's face. When the user wears the present embodiment as an eye mask, the user removes the rubber ring-shaped band part 5 from the locking part (button) 3 on the second surface 1b side to which it was locked when used as the face mask, and attaches it to the locking part (button) 4 on the first surface 1a side (since the gap forming part 2 is bent and rotated toward the second surface 1b side as described above, the locking part 4 located around the gap forming part 2 is also present on the second surface 1b side of the cover part 1). Then, as shown in FIG. 5(a), the user wears the present embodiment by the band part 5 in a state where it is slightly curved in the left-right direction along the user's face. In this way, the present embodiment is used as an eye mask.

[0027] As described above, in this embodiment, a gap forming portion 2 is provided on the first surface 1a side of the upper part of the cover portion 1, so that when the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1 is worn facing the front of the user's face using the band portion 5, the cover portion 1 covers the area up to the mouth area on the front of the user's face, while creating a predetermined space 6 (see Figure 3(c)) between the cover portion 1 and the user's face. Therefore, this embodiment can be used as a face mask while preventing the cover portion 1 from coming into contact with the user's eye makeup or interfering with the user's eye makeup.

[0028] Furthermore, when this embodiment is used as a face mask in this manner, the lower end of the cover portion 1 extends to the area around the user's nose or mouth, so even if there is space near the user's eyes due to the gap forming portion 2, it is possible to ensure sufficient darkness around the user's eyes for sleep or rest, as shown in FIG. 3(c), for example.

[0029] In addition, in this embodiment, the gap forming portion 2 can be folded back by folding it around the fold-back portion A (= virtual line A) in FIG. 4(a) as the center of rotation (at the boundary between the cover portion 1 and the gap forming portion 2 or its surrounding area) toward the second surface 1b opposite the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1. When the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1 in the folded back state is worn facing the front of the user's face via the band portion 5, the folding reduces the illustrated vertical length of the cover portion 1 (the vertical length becomes suitable for an eye mask), and as a result, the lower end portion of the first surface 1a is positioned around the user's nose. This allows the user to use this embodiment as a convenient eye mask rather than a face mask.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gap forming portion 2 is configured so that its lower end portion is positioned in a region of the cover portion 1 that is approximately 3 to 5 cm (or approximately 2.5 to 6 cm, or approximately 2 to 7 cm) below the upper end of the cover portion 1. Therefore, by folding and rotating the gap forming portion 2 (at the boundary between the cover portion 1 and the gap forming portion 2 or its surrounding area) toward the second surface 1b opposite the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1, when the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1 is placed facing the front of the user's face and worn, the lower end of the first surface 1a of the cover portion 1 is positioned in the area around the nose on the front of the user's face, so that the cover portion can be made to an appropriate size and shape as an eye mask.

[0031] Furthermore, when this embodiment is used as an eye mask in this manner, the gap forming portion 2 is not present on the front side of the user's face of the cover part 1, and any space between the cover part 1 and the area around the user's eyes is very small, so that sufficient darkness can be ensured around the user's eyes (in contrast, if the gap forming portion 2 is positioned on the front side of the user's face of the cover part 1 when used as an eye mask in which the vertical length of the cover part 1 is short as described above, the space formed in front of the user's eyes by the gap forming portion 2 will make it impossible to ensure sufficient darkness around the user's eyes for sleep or rest).

[0032] In this embodiment, the cover part 1 is provided with locking parts 3 and 4 for temporarily fixing the band part 5 on both the first surface 1a and the second surface 1b at both left and right ends of the upper part, respectively. When the first surface 1a of the cover part 1 is opposed to the front of the user's face while the gap forming part 2 is disposed on the first surface 1a of the cover part 1 (when this embodiment is used as a face mask), the band part 5 is locked to the locking part 3 provided on the second surface 1b side, and when the gap forming part 2 is folded toward the second surface 1b side of the cover part 1, rotated, and folded back, and the first surface 1a of the cover part 1 is opposed to the front of the user's face (when this embodiment is used as an eye mask), the band part 5 is locked to the locking part 4 provided on the first surface 1a side. Thus, according to this embodiment, whether this embodiment is used as a face mask or an eye mask, the cover part can be stably attached to the user's head.

[0033] In the above embodiment, a rubber band 5 in the form of a string (ring) is used as a means for attaching or wearing the upper part of the cover 1 to the forehead and back of the head of the user, but the attachment part in the present invention is not limited to this, and may be, for example, a belt-like member attached to both the upper left and right ends of the cover 1, or a metal strip-like sheet built into the upper edge of the cover 1 and extending in the left and right direction as seen from the user (for example, a leaf spring strip-like sheet built into the upper edge of the cover 1, which can be elastically curved in the longitudinal direction along the shape of the user's forehead or head above it, and when elastically curved as described above, biases the upper edge of the cover 1 in a direction slightly reducing the curvature of the curved state). When the attachment part of the present invention is configured using a metal strip-like sheet (for example, a leaf spring strip-like sheet) built into the upper edge of the cover 1 as described above, the advantage of not requiring a string-like or belt-like member to be worn on the back of the head of the user is obtained.
