[0005] In view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional eyelash curler, an object of the present invention is to provide an eyelash curler that can change the curvature and / or width dimensions of the first sandwiching piece made of a curved hard member in the forming part that sandwiches the eyelashes with one eyelash curler.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To achieve the above objective, the eyelash curling tool of the present invention comprises a forming part that forms eyelashes by clamping them with a first clamping piece made of a curved rigid material and a second clamping piece made of an elastic material, and a holding part that has an operating part for clamping and manipulating the clamping pieces, wherein the first clamping piece is provided with a plurality of types of clamping pieces with different curvature and / or width dimensions, and the plurality of types of clamping pieces are selected and used.

[0007] In this case, the first clamping piece can be made by arranging two types of clamping pieces with different curvature and / or width dimensions back to back.

[0008] The first clamping piece can be formed by integrally creating multiple types of clamping pieces with different curvatures and / or width dimensions, and arranging them so as to be rotatable on a rotating shaft.

[0009] The first clamping piece can be configured by providing multiple types of clamping pieces with different curvatures and / or widths, and selecting and arranging the clamping piece accordingly. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the eyelash curling tool of the present invention, the first clamping piece, which is made of a curved rigid member, is provided with multiple types of clamping pieces with different curvatures and / or widths, and by selecting and using these multiple types of clamping pieces, the curvature and / or width of the first clamping piece can be changed with a single eyelash curling tool, making it suitable for differences in the size of each individual's eyes and the degree of eyelid fullness. Furthermore, the degree of curl of the eyelashes can be changed and shaped to suit the time, place, and occasion. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Figure 3] This is a side view showing the state in which the eyelashes are being held and shaped by the molding part of the eyelash curling tool. [Figure 4] The eyelash curling tool is shown, with (a) being a front view when using the first clamping piece with the smaller curvature, (b) being a top view, and (c) being a side view. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the eyelash curling tool of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. [Examples]

[0013] Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the eyelash curling tool of the present invention. This eyelash curling tool consists of a molding section 1 that molds the eyelashes by clamping them with a first clamping piece 11 made of a curved rigid material and a second clamping piece 12 made of an elastic material, and a holding section 2 equipped with an operating section 3 for clamping and manipulating the clamping pieces 11 and 12. The first clamping piece 11 is provided with two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b with different curvatures, and these two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b are arranged back to back so that users can select and use whichever they prefer.

[0014] In this case, the first clamping piece 11, which is made of a hard material that constitutes the molded part 1, is made of metal or synthetic resin. As the first clamping piece 11, out of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b arranged back to back, the clamping piece 11a is set to have a large curvature, that is, a deep curve, and the clamping piece 11b is set to have a curvature smaller than that of the clamping piece 11a, that is, a shallow curve. This enables it to adapt to the differences in the swelling degree of the eyelids of individuals, and also allows the curling degree of the eyelashes to be changed and shaped according to the TPO.

[0015] Here, the width dimensions W of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b are formed to be the same. However, for example, the width dimension W of the clamping piece 11a with a larger curvature can be set to be smaller (or larger) than the width dimension W of the clamping piece 11b with a smaller curvature, or the curvatures of the two clamping pieces can be kept unchanged and only the width dimension W can be changed and set. This enables it to adapt to the differences in the size of the eyes and the swelling degree of the eyelids of individuals, and also allows the curling degree of the eyelashes to be changed and shaped according to the TPO, or allows the curling degree of the eyelashes in the center or at the outer corner of the eyes to be partially changed and shaped.

[0016] By the way, in this embodiment, when clamping and shaping the eyelashes with either one of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b arranged back to back that constitute the shaping part 1 and the second clamping piece 12, a switching operation part 13 for switching the vertical position of the clamping piece 11a is provided so that the other clamping piece 11a, 11b does not interfere. And positioning protrusions 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d for stabilizing the position of the switching operation part 13 are formed on the switching operation part 13 and the holding part 2. 。

[0017] The second clamping piece 12 which is an elastic member constituting the shaping part 1 is made of a synthetic resin such as silicone rubber or rubber, and consists of one member shared by the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b. Here, since the second clamping piece 12 is easily soiled, it is preferably configured to be replaceable with a new member. Furthermore, the width dimension of the second clamping piece 12 is set in accordance with the width dimensions W of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b. When the width dimension W of the clamping piece 11a or the clamping piece 11b is set smaller (or larger), the width dimension can be set smaller (or larger) accordingly.

[0018] Next, the usage method of this eyelash curler will be described. From the neutral position shown in FIG. 1(c), as shown in FIG. 1(d), by lowering the switching operation part 13, the position of the clamping piece 11a is lowered. In this state, by raising the operation part 3, the second clamping piece 12 is raised, and the eyelashes can be sandwiched and shaped by the clamping piece 11a and the second clamping piece 12 without interference from the clamping piece 11b.

[0019] Also, from the neutral position shown in FIG. 1(c), as shown in FIG. 1(g), by raising the switching operation part 13, the position of the clamping piece 11a is raised. In this state, by raising the operation part 3, the second clamping piece 12 is raised, and the eyelashes can be sandwiched and shaped by the clamping piece 11b and the second clamping piece 12 without interference from the clamping piece 11a.

Embodiment

[0020] FIGS. 2 to 4 show a second embodiment of the eyelash curler of the present invention. This eyelash curler includes a molding part 1 that sandwiches and shapes eyelashes with a first clamping piece 11 made of a curved hard member and a second clamping piece 12 made of an elastic member, and a holding part 2 including an operation part 3 composed of scissor-shaped operation handles 31 and 32 for sandwiching the clamping pieces 11 and 12. As the first clamping piece 11, two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b with different curvatures are provided. These two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b are integrally formed and arranged to be rotatable about a rotation axis 11c so that they can be selectively used.

[0021] In this case, the first clamping piece 11 made of a hard member constituting the molding part 1 is made of metal or synthetic resin. Furthermore, as the first clamping piece 11, of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b that are positioned at 180° rotationally symmetrical positions around the rotation axis 11c, clamping piece 11a is set to have a large curvature, i.e., a deep curve, while clamping piece 11b is set to have a smaller curvature than clamping piece 11a, i.e., a shallow curve. This allows the eyelashes to adapt to individual differences in eyelid shape and to be shaped to change the degree of curl according to the occasion.

[0022] Here, the width dimensions W of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b are formed to be the same, but for example, the width dimension W of the clamping piece 11a with a larger curvature can be set to be smaller (or larger) than the width dimension W of the clamping piece 11b with a smaller curvature, or the curvature of the two clamping pieces can be kept the same and only the width dimension W can be changed. This allows for adaptation to individual differences in eye size and eyelid fullness, as well as the ability to adjust the degree of curl of the eyelashes to suit different occasions, or to partially adjust the curl of the eyelashes in the center or at the outer corners of the eyes.

[0023] By the way, in this embodiment, the first clamping piece 11 constituting the molding section 1 is composed of two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b, which are positioned at 180° rotationally symmetrical positions on the rotation axis 11c. Although this was done, it is also possible to arrange three types of clamping pieces at positions 120° rotationally symmetrical to the rotation axis 11c. In either case, the rotating shaft 11c is provided with positioning means (not shown) for stabilizing its position at a predetermined rotation angle, so that the eyelashes can be clamped and shaped between the first clamping piece 11 and the second clamping piece 12.

[0024] Furthermore, the second clamping piece 12, which is made of an elastic material that constitutes the molded part 1, is made of a synthetic resin such as silicone rubber or rubber, and consists of a single component that is shared by the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b. Here, since the second clamping piece 12 is prone to soiling, it is preferable to configure it so that it can be replaced with a new member. Furthermore, the width dimension of the second clamping piece 12 can be set to match the width dimension W of the two types of clamping pieces 11a and 11b, and if the width dimension W of clamping piece 11a or clamping piece 11b is set to be smaller (or larger), the width dimension of the second clamping piece 12 can be set to be smaller (or larger) accordingly.

[0025] Next, I will explain how to use this eyelash curling tool. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the clamping piece 11a is rotated around the rotation axis 11c so that it faces the second clamping piece 12. In this state, by operating the operating handles 31 and 32, the second clamping piece 12 is raised, and the eyelashes can be clamped and shaped between the clamping piece 11a and the second clamping piece 12.

[0026] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, by rotating the pivot shaft 11c so that the clamping piece 11b faces the second clamping piece 12, and operating the operating handles 31 and 32 in this state, the second clamping piece 12 can be raised, and the eyelashes can be clamped and shaped between the clamping piece 11b and the second clamping piece 12.

[0027] Although the eyelash curling tool of the present invention has been described above based on several embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described above. For example, multiple types of clamping pieces with different curvature and / or width dimensions may be prepared as the first clamping piece, and one of these multiple types of clamping pieces may be selected and placed, for example, via a detachable mechanism (not shown) provided at the tip of the operating handle 31 provided on the holding part 2. The configuration can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit of the invention. [Industrial applicability]

[0028] The eyelash curling tool of the present invention can be suitably used for various eyelash curling applications because it allows for changing the curvature and / or width of the first clamping piece, which is made of a curved hard material and is part of the molding section that clamps and shapes the eyelashes, using only one eyelash curling tool.
