Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the description of the present invention, along each axis of the orthogonal coordinate system shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the vertical direction is defined, and the upward and downward directions are defined according to the direction of the arrow. Also, the front-back direction is defined, and the frontward and backward directions are defined according to the direction of the arrow. Further, the left-right direction is defined, and the leftward and rightward directions are defined according to the direction of the arrow. The vertical direction is along the vertical plane, and the front-back direction and the left-right direction are along the horizontal plane.

[0022] A line of sight from above, along the vertical direction, is a plan view, and a line of sight from below is a bottom view. Similarly, a line of sight from the front, along the front-to-back direction, is a front view, and a line of sight from the rear is a rear view. Furthermore, a line of sight along the left-to-right direction is a side view. For each component, the surface visible in the plan view is the front surface, the surface visible in the bottom view is the back surface, and the surface visible in the side view is the side surface.

[0023] However, the terms top (front) and bottom (back), front (front) and back (back), and left and right (side) are merely distinctions used to explain the present invention and do not define the direction or orientation from a specific viewpoint when the extension plate according to the present invention is in use.

[0024] (Overall structure) Figure 1 is a front-side perspective view showing the configuration of an extension plate 1 according to an embodiment, as an example of a specific configuration of the extension plate according to the present invention. Figure 2 is a back-side perspective view of the extension plate 1 according to the embodiment.

[0025] The eyelash extension plate according to the present invention is used by attaching it to the lash-parting tweezers 9 when applying eyelash extensions (see Figures 3, 4, and 7). The eyelash extension plate 1 shown in the figure is for right-handed users.

[0026] If the eyelash extension technician is right-handed, the technician will hold the attachment tweezers 8 in their right hand and the separating tweezers 9 in their left hand. In other words, the extension plate 1 shown in the diagram is attached to the separating tweezers 9 held in the technician's left hand when applying eyelash extensions.

[0027] The extension plate 1 according to this embodiment includes a plate body 2, an extension eyelash holding area 21 provided on the surface side of the plate body 2 to which an extension eyelash body 3 is attached, a glue cup 4 attached to the surface side of the plate body 2 to which glue 41 is placed, a silicone pad 5 attached to the surface side of the plate body 2 as an eyelash shaping base used for shaping extension eyelashes 31, and a tweezers receiving part 6 provided on the back side of the plate body 2 to engage with a separating tweezers 9. The plate body 2 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view, the longitudinal direction of the separating tweezers 9 is inclined with respect to each side of the rectangle of the plate body 2, and the extension eyelash holding area 21 is provided on the surface side of the plate body 2 on the side furthest from the practitioner when the extension plate 1 is attached to the separating tweezers 9 and extension eyelashes are being applied.

[0028] The plate body 2 is composed of a rectangular, flat plate-like member in plan view. In addition to a rectangle, the plate body 2 may be formed in a triangular, parallelogram, rhombus, trapezoid, polygon with pentagons or more, circle, ellipse, or the like in plan view.

[0029] When the plate body 2 is formed in a polygonal shape in plan view, each corner of the plate body 2 may be left as is, but it is preferable that the corners be rounded to prevent injury when they come into contact with the face of the person receiving the eyelash extension treatment (referred to as the "person receiving the treatment") or the hands of the person performing the treatment.

[0030] The plate body 2 is not limited to a specific material, but may be molded as plastic using resin as a raw material, for example. The plate body 2 is preferably made of a lightweight material to reduce the burden on the practitioner. The plate body 2 is also preferably made of a transparent material so that the area below the plate body 2 (for example, the face of the person being treated) can be seen.

[0031] The plate body 2 is not limited to specific dimensions, but as an example, in a plan view, it may be formed as a flat plate with a rectangular shape, having a long side dimension of approximately 65 to 85 mm and a short side dimension of approximately 30 to 50 mm, and a thickness of approximately 0.5 to 2 mm.

[0032] An eyelash extension holding area 21 for attaching eyelash extensions 3 is provided on the surface side of the plate body 2.

[0033] The eyelash extension holding area 21 is located on the left side of the surface of the plate body 2 in a plan view. Specifically, the eyelash extension holding area 21 is located on the outer side (i.e., the side furthest from the practitioner) in a plan view when the extension plate 1 is attached to the parting tweezers 9 and the eyelash extension procedure is being performed.

[0034] The eyelash extension holding area 21 may be provided, for example, in an area of ​​3 / 5 to 4 / 5 of the entire surface of the plate body 2 from the left edge.

[0035] The eyelash extension body 3 is composed of multiple (or, in fact, many) eyelashes 31 for extensions.

[0036] The eyelash extensions 31 are attached to a strip-shaped fixing sheet 32 ​​in a manner that allows them to be separated one by one (in other words, picked up individually) while multiple lashes are arranged in a line.

[0037] The length of the eyelash extensions 31 is, for example, about 9mm to 14mm. Specifically, the eyelash extensions 31 are, for example, artificial eyelashes made of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

[0038] The back of the fixing sheet 32 ​​is an adhesive seal. The eyelash extension body 3 is attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 on the front side of the plate body 2 via the adhesive seal on the back of the fixing sheet 32. The adhesive seal on the back of the fixing sheet 32 ​​is configured to be removable from the surface of the plate body 2. In other words, the eyelash extension body 3 is attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 in a removable manner.

[0039] The eyelash extension holding area 21 may have a surface treatment or a predetermined film attached to it so that the fixing sheet 32 ​​for the eyelash extension body 3 can easily adhere to or peel off, or it may remain as the bare surface of the plate body 2.

[0040] The eyelash extension body 3 is positioned so that the longitudinal direction of the strip-shaped fixing sheet 32 ​​is aligned with the left-right direction, and is attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 of the plate body 2. That is, with the eyelash extension body 3 attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 of the plate body 2, the multiple eyelash extensions 31 are aligned along the left-right direction.

[0041] In the example shown in the figure, six rows of eyelash extensions 3 are attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 of the plate body 2 in the front-to-back direction. However, the number of rows of eyelash extensions 3 attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 in the front-to-back direction is not limited to six rows; it may be five rows or less, or seven rows or more.

[0042] In other words, the dimensions of the plate body 2 and the eyelash extension holding area 21 in plan view are not limited to dimensions that allow for the attachment of up to 6 rows of eyelash extension bodies 3 in the front-to-back direction, but may be dimensions that allow for the attachment of up to 5 rows or less of eyelash extension bodies 3 in the front-to-back direction, or they may be dimensions that allow for the attachment of up to 7 rows or more of eyelash extension bodies 3 in the front-to-back direction.

[0043] The glue cup 4 is attached to the upper right corner of the surface of the plate body 2 in a plan view (the right side of the plate body 2 is the side closer to the practitioner when the extension plate 1 is attached to the separating tweezers 9 and the extension eyelash procedure is being performed).

[0044] In the example shown in the figure, a through hole 22 is formed that penetrates the plate body 2 in the vertical direction, and the glue cup 4 is attached to the plate body 2 by fitting a part of the bottom side (back side) of the glue cup 4 into the through hole 22.

[0045] During the procedure for applying eyelash extensions, adhesive 41 (also called "glue") is placed in the glue cup 4 to attach the eyelash extensions 31 to the client's natural eyelashes (see Figure 5).

[0046] The glue cup 4 may be replaced after each treatment or after multiple treatments. For this reason, the glue cup 4 may be attached to the plate body 2 in a way that allows it to be detachably attached. Specifically, in the example shown in the figure, for example, a part of the bottom side (back side) of the glue cup 4 may be fitted to the through hole 22 of the plate body 2 in a way that allows it to be detachably attached to the plate body 2.

[0047] A silicone pad 5 is attached to the rear of the glue cup 4 (that is, an intermediate position in the front-to-back direction near the right edge in a plan view of the surface side of the plate body 2; this is the side closer to the practitioner when the extension plate 1 is attached to the separating tweezers 9 and the extension eyelash procedure is being performed).

[0048] The method of attaching the silicone pad 5 to the plate body 2 is not limited to any particular method, but may be, for example, by double-sided tape or by adhesive. The silicone pad 5 may be attached to the plate body 2 in a way that makes it removable (i.e., replaceable).

[0049] During the application of eyelash extensions, the silicone pad 5 is used to shape the eyelash extensions 31, which are picked up one by one from the eyelash extension body 3 using the application tweezers 8. The silicone pad 5 is, in other words, the eyelash shaping base for the eyelash extensions 31. The eyelash shaping base for the eyelash extensions 31 is not limited to being made of silicone, but may be formed as a pad or block of other materials.

[0050] Due to the relative positions of the eyelash extension holding area 21, the silicone pad 5, and the glue cup 4 on the surface side of the plate body 2, the workflow for attaching eyelash extensions 31 to the client's natural eyelashes is simplified and shortened by using the attachment tweezers 8 to pick up one eyelash extension 31 from the eyelash extension body 3 attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21, shaping the eyelash extension 31 on the adjacent silicone pad 5 (if necessary), and applying the adhesive 41 (glue) contained in the adjacent glue cup 4 to the eyelash extension 31. This streamlines the eyelash extension procedure.

[0051] In other words, when the extension plate 1 is attached to the parting tweezers 9 and the extension eyelash procedure is performed, an extension eyelash holding area 21 is provided on the outer side of the surface of the plate body 2 in a plan view (i.e., the side farther from the practitioner and the face of the person being treated), and a glue cup 4 and a silicone pad 5 are attached to the inner side in a plan view (i.e., the side closer to the practitioner and the face of the person being treated). This simplifies and shortens the movement path for attaching the extension eyelashes 31 to the person's natural eyelashes, thereby making the extension eyelash procedure more efficient.

[0052] (Tweezers receiving part) A tweezers receiving portion 6 is provided on the back side of the plate body 2. When the extension plate 1 is used for eyelash extension procedures, one of the pair of interlocking portions 91A and 91B of the separating tweezers 9 is inserted into the tweezers receiving portion 6. The tweezers receiving portion 6 is a structure that engages with the separating tweezers 9 to attach the extension plate 1 to the separating tweezers 9 in a way that allows it to be attached and detached from the separating tweezers 9.

[0053] The extension plate 1 shown in the figure is for right-handed users, and of the pair of interlocking parts 91A and 91B of the lash-parting tweezers 9 held in the left hand of the lash extension technician, the interlocking part 91A that is on the left side in a plan view (in other words, the outer side, the side furthest from the technician) is inserted into the tweezers receiving part 6 (see Figure 4).

[0054] The tweezers receiving section 6 is configured to allow the extension plate 1 to be attached to and detached from the tweezers 9 used for separating eyelashes during the procedure of applying eyelash extensions, and includes a restraint 61 and an elastic member 62.

[0055] The restraint device 61 is fixed to the back surface of the plate body 2 and restrains and holds the pair of interlocking parts 91A and 91B of the separating tweezers 9 that are on the outside in a plan view during the procedure of applying eyelash extensions (in other words, the side furthest from the practitioner) (specifically, interlocking part 91A in the example shown in the figure).

[0056] The restraint device 61 is attached in such a manner that a flat plate-shaped member is folded back into a U-shape, with the apex of the fold protruding downward from the back surface of the plate body 2. The restraint device 61 may be a narrow strip-shaped member as shown in the example in Figure 2, or a wide rectangular plate-shaped member as shown in the example in Figure 4.

[0057] The restraint device 61 may be made of, for example, rubber.

[0058] The elastic member 62 is a component that ensures the plate body 2 (and by extension, the extension plate 1) is stably attached to the tweezers 9 inserted into the tweezers receiving portion 6 so that it does not rattle.

[0059] The elastic member 62 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate and is attached to the plate body 2 in such a manner that it protrudes downward from the back surface with its shorter side aligned with the vertical direction. The elastic member 62 is arranged so as to penetrate the inside of the restraint device 61, which is formed in the shape of a flat plate and folded back into a U shape, along the longitudinal direction of the elastic member 62.

[0060] The elastic member 62 may be made of, for example, rubber or sponge material. By making the elastic member 62 of a material with a relatively high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, the tweezers 9 for separating the weeds can be prevented from slipping against the tweezers receiving portion 6.

[0061] Since the restraint device 61 is made of rubber material and the elastic member 62 is made of rubber material or sponge material, the extension plate 1 can be attached to various types of tweezers 9 of various shapes and dimensions.

[0062] Furthermore, the tweezer receiving portion 6 is not limited to the configuration and structure shown in the figure, as long as it has a structure that can engage with the tweezer 9 in a detachable manner. By configuring the tweezer receiving portion 6 to include an elastic member, the extension plate 1 can be attached to various tweezers 9 of various shapes and dimensions, and the plate body 2 (and consequently the extension plate 1) can be stably attached to the tweezer 9 inserted into the tweezer receiving portion 6 without rattling.

[0063] Specifically, with the separating tweezers 9 (specifically the interlocking portion 91A in the example shown in the figure) inserted between the restraint 61 and the elastic member 62, the elastic member 62 presses the separating tweezers 9 (specifically the interlocking portion 91A in the example shown in the figure) against the restraint 61 due to its elastic force.

[0064] In the example shown in the figure, the tweezer holder 6 is fixed and attached to the back surface of the plate body 2 by a film 63 that has adhesive properties on one side.

[0065] Specifically, the film 63 is attached to an area that spans the left side of the bottom surface of the plate body 2 and the left side of the elastic member 62.

[0066] Furthermore, the restraint 61 is attached by fixing one end of the restraint 61 to the film 63 which is attached to the left side of the elastic member 62, and the other end of the restraint 61 is attached by spanning the lower end of the elastic member 62 and fixing it to the back surface of the plate body 2 (where the film 63 is not attached). The restraint 61 is attached to the film 63 and the plate body 2 by bonding them together, for example, with an adhesive.

[0067] The manner in which the tweezer receiving portion 6 is attached to the plate body 2 is not limited to the method using the film 63 as shown in the figure. For example, one end of the restraint 61 may be fixed to the back surface of the plate body 2, and the other end of the restraint 61 may be fixed to the back surface of the plate body 2, straddling the lower end of the elastic member 62. In this case, at least a portion of the left side of the elastic member 62 is fixed to the restraint 61. Other methods of attachment are also possible.

[0068] The dimensions and mounting state of the restraint 61 are adjusted so that there is a small gap between the right side of the elastic member 62 and the restraint 61.

[0069] In other words, a gap is provided between the inner surface of the elastic member 62 in a plan view (in other words, the side closer to the practitioner) and the restraint device 61. The outer (in other words, the side further from the practitioner) interlocking portion 91A of the pair of interlocking portions of the separating tweezers 9 is inserted into this gap and penetrates the inside of the U-shaped restraint device 61.

[0070] Here, the lash-parting tweezers 9 are used during the application of eyelash extensions with one of the pair of interlocking parts, 91A, of the lash-parting tweezers 9 penetrating the inside of the restraint 61. For this reason, the tweezers receiving part 6 is configured so that the elastic member 62 is not positioned between the pair of interlocking parts 91A and 91B, so as not to obstruct the opening and closing of the lash-parting tweezers 9. Furthermore, it is preferable that the restraint 61 be made of a thin material.

[0071] In plan view and bottom view, the longitudinal direction of the elastic member 62, and consequently the direction in which the outer (in other words, the side furthest from the practitioner) interlocking portion 91A of the pair of interlocking portions of the separating tweezers 9 is inserted into the tweezers receiving portion 6 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the separating tweezers 9), is inclined with respect to the direction of each side of the rectangular plate body 2 (in other words, the front-to-back and left-to-right directions for the plate body 2).

[0072] The magnitude of the angle θ formed by the front-rear direction Dfb of the plate body 2 and the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9 for separating debris) (see Figure 6) is such that the lower limit may be 20° or more, preferably 25° or more, more preferably 30° or more, and even more preferably 35° or more, and the upper limit may be 60° or less, preferably 55° or less, more preferably 50° or less, and even more preferably 45° or less. And the angle θ is most preferably 40°. That is, the angle θ may be, for example, 20° or more and 60° or less, and preferably 25° or more and 55° or less.

[0073] The angle θ between the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2 and the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9) is the degree of inclination of the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9) with respect to the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2, which occurs when the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9) rotates clockwise in a plan view (counterclockwise in a bottom view) from a state where it is aligned with the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2.

[0074] In particular, when the plate body 2 is formed in a rectangular shape, the extension plate 1 is attached diagonally to the separating tweezers 9, making it easier for the practitioner to see the area to be treated (i.e., the eyelashes) of the person being treated.

[0075] (Storage method) After the eyelash extension procedure is completed, the extension plate 1 may be removed from the separating tweezers 9, with the eyelash extension body 3 still attached to the eyelash extension holding area 21 and the glue cup 4 removed, and then stored in the case 7 (see Figure 8).

[0076] In this case, individuals who have received eyelash extension treatment (i.e., those receiving the treatment) often undergo the treatment repeatedly. In this case, the individuals receiving the treatment repeatedly use the same eyelash extension body 3.

[0077] Therefore, by storing the extension plate 1 used for the extension eyelash treatment for each client in a case 7 that displays the client's ID, the extension eyelash body 3 used for each client is centrally managed, eliminating the need to prepare the extension eyelash body 3 for each client for each treatment.

[0078] (Effects and Benefits) According to the embodiment of the extension plate 1, the surface side of the plate body 2 has an extension eyelash holding area 21, a glue cup 4, and a silicone pad 5. This allows the face of the person being treated and the set of tools for applying extension eyelashes to be brought close together, improving the efficiency of the extension eyelash application process. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the burden on the practitioner and shorten the treatment time, thereby reducing the burden on the person being treated.

[0079] According to the embodiment of the extension plate 1, the surface side of the plate body 2 has an extension eyelash holding area 21, a glue cup 4, and a silicone pad 5. This allows the entire process of applying extension eyelashes to be performed in the shortest and most efficient movements, prevents the adhesive (glue 41) from drying out, and consequently saves time and avoids waste of materials.

[0080] According to the embodiment of the extension plate 1, since the tweezer receiving portion 6 includes an elastic member, it can be attached to a variety of tweezers, ensuring versatility.

[0081] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments described above. The present invention also includes forms in which modifications and changes are made to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0082] (For left-handed users) For example, the above embodiment uses a right-handed extension plate 1 as an example, but the extension plate according to the present invention may be configured for left-handed use. Figure 9 is a rear side perspective view showing a left-handed extension plate 1A with a separating tweezers 9 attached. If the eyelash extension technician is left-handed, the technician will hold the attachment tweezers 8 in their left hand and the separating tweezers 9 in their right hand. That is, the left-handed extension plate 1A shown in Figure 9 is used by being attached to the separating tweezers 9 held in the right hand by the technician when applying eyelash extensions.

[0083] In the left-handed extension plate 1A, the extension eyelash holding area 21 is located on the outer side (i.e., the side furthest from the practitioner) in a plan view when the extension plate 1A is attached to the separating tweezers 9 and the extension eyelash procedure is being performed, and the glue cup 4 and silicone pad 5 are attached to the inner side (i.e., the side closer to the practitioner) in a plan view when the extension plate 1A is attached to the separating tweezers 9 and the extension eyelash procedure is being performed.

[0084] In the case of the left-handed extension plate 1A, that is, when the extension plate 1A is attached to the parting tweezers 9 and the extension eyelash procedure is performed, an extension eyelash holding area 21 is provided on the outer side of the surface of the plate body 2 in a plan view (i.e., the side farther from the practitioner and the side farther from the face of the person being treated), and a glue cup 4 and a silicone pad 5 are attached to the inner side in a plan view (i.e., the side closer to the practitioner and the side closer to the face of the person being treated). This simplifies and shortens the movement path of the action of attaching the extension eyelashes 31 to the person's natural eyelashes, thereby making the extension eyelash procedure more efficient.

[0085] Regarding the left-handed extension plate 1A, of the pair of interlocking parts 91A and 91B of the lash-parting tweezers 9 held in the right hand by the technician, the interlocking part 91A that is on the right side in a plan view (in other words, the outer side, the side furthest from the technician) during the application of eyelash extensions is inserted into the tweezers receiving part 6 (see Figure 9).

[0086] With respect to the left-handed extension plate 1A, and also in plan view and bottom view, the longitudinal direction of the elastic member 62, and consequently the direction in which the outer (in other words, the side furthest from the practitioner) biting portion 91A of the pair of biting portions of the separating tweezers 9 is inserted into the tweezers receiving portion 6 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the separating tweezers 9), is inclined with respect to the direction of each side of the rectangular plate body 2 (in other words, the front-to-back and left-to-right directions for the plate body 2).

[0087] For the left-handed extension plate 1A, the magnitude of the angle θ formed by the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2 and the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9 for separating) (see Figure 10) is such that the lower limit may be 20° or more, preferably 25° or more, more preferably 30° or more, and even more preferably 35° or more, and the upper limit may be 60° or less, preferably 55° or less, more preferably 50° or less, and even more preferably 45° or less. And the angle θ is most preferably 40°. That is, the angle θ may be, for example, 20° or more and 60° or less, and preferably 25° or more and 55° or less.

[0088] For the left-handed extension plate 1A, the angle θ between the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2 and the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9) is the degree of inclination of the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9) with respect to the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2, which occurs when the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (the longitudinal direction of the tweezers 9) rotates counterclockwise in a plan view (clockwise in a bottom view) from a state where it is aligned with the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2.

[0089] (Another form of the tweezer receiver 1) Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the tweezer receiving portion 6 is fixed and attached to the back surface of the plate body 2 by the film 63, but the configuration of the tweezer receiving portion 6 is not limited to the configuration in the above embodiment. For example, as shown in Figure 11, the tweezer receiving portion 6 may be configured to include a support plate 64 without including the film 63 (Note that Figure 11 is an extension plate for right-handed users. Also, Figure 11 does not show the glue cup 4 that fits into the through hole 22).

[0090] In this case, the support plate 64 is attached to the back surface of the plate body 2 in a position where the surface of the support plate 64 is aligned vertically, that is, in a position where the surface of the support plate 64 is perpendicular to the back surface of the plate body 2. The support plate 64 may be joined to the back surface of the plate body 2 with an adhesive or the like, or it may be integrally molded with the plate body 2, or it may be attached or molded by other methods or embodiments. An elastic member 62 is attached to the inner surface of the support plate 64 in a plan view (in other words, the side closer to the practitioner).

[0091] In the example shown in Figure 11, the support plate 64 is provided extending from the front to the rear end of the back surface of the plate body 2, while being inclined with respect to the front-rear direction of the plate body 2, and the elastic member 62 is provided extending from a position near the front end to the rear end. By providing the elastic member 62 (and the support plate 64) as relatively long members (in other words, over a relatively long area), it becomes possible to attach the plate body 2 (and by extension, the extension plate 1) to the tweezers 9 inserted into the tweezers receiving portion 6 in a more stable and better manner, and especially when the elastic member 62 is made of a material with a relatively high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, it becomes possible to prevent the tweezers 9 from slipping against the tweezers receiving portion 6.

[0092] In the example shown in Figure 11, one end of the strip-shaped restraint 61 is fixed to the back surface of the plate body 2, and the other end of the restraint 61 is fixed to the back surface of the plate body 2, straddling the lower ends of the elastic member 62 and the support plate 64. The dimensions and mounting of the restraint 61 are adjusted so that there is a small gap between the inner surface of the elastic member 62 in a plan view (in other words, the side closer to the practitioner) and the restraint 61. The outer (in other words, the side further from the practitioner) interlocking portion 91A of the pair of interlocking portions of the hair-parting tweezers 9 is inserted into the gap between the inner surface of the elastic member 62 in a plan view (in other words, the side closer to the practitioner) and the restraint 61, and passes through the inside of the U-shaped folded restraint 61. In this way, the extension plate 1 is detachably attached to the hair-parting tweezers 9.

[0093] In the example shown in Figure 11, the angle θ between the front-to-back direction Dfb of the plate body 2 and the longitudinal direction Dle of the elastic member 62 (in other words, the longitudinal direction of the shaving tweezers 9) is determined by how the support plate 64 is attached (specifically, in the direction along the surface of the support plate 64, in other words, the longitudinal direction).

[0094] (Another form of the tweezer receiver 2) Figures 12 to 16 show the configuration of other examples of specific configurations of the extension plate according to the present invention. In the examples shown in Figures 12 to 16, the shape of the tweezer receiver and the manner in which it is attached to the plate body differ in particular from the examples shown in Figures 1 to 11.

[0095] In the examples shown in Figures 12 to 16, the tweezer receiver 6B is detachably attached to the back side of the plate body 2B.

[0096] In the examples shown in Figures 12 to 16, the plate body 2B is provided with an eyelash extension holding area 21 on its surface side, similar to the embodiment described above, but does not have a through hole 22 for attaching the glue cup 4. In the examples shown in Figures 12 to 16, the glue cup 4 is attached to the plate body 2B in a detachable manner by interposing double-sided adhesive tape (not shown in the drawings) between the back surface of the glue cup 4 and the surface of the plate body 2B.

[0097] When the extension plate 1B is used in the procedure for applying eyelash extensions, one of the pair of interlocking parts 91A and 91B of the separating tweezers 9 is inserted into the tweezers receiving part 6B. The tweezers receiving part 6B is structured to engage with the separating tweezers 9 and attach the extension plate 1B to the separating tweezers 9 in a detachable manner.

[0098] The extension plate 1B shown in the figure is for right-handed users, and of the pair of interlocking parts 91A, 91B of the lash-parting tweezers 9 held in the left hand of the lash extension technician, the interlocking part 91A that is on the left side in a plan view (in other words, the outer side, the side furthest from the technician) is inserted into the tweezers receiver 6B (see Figure 13).

[0099] The tweezers receiving portion 6B is configured to allow the extension plate 1B to be attached to and detached from the tweezers 9 used for separating eyelashes during the procedure of applying eyelash extensions, and has an attachment portion 65 and a restraining portion 66.

[0100] The mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiver 6B is structured to serve as a connecting portion with the plate body 2B when the tweezer receiver 6B is detachably attached to the plate body 2B.

[0101] The mounting portion 65 is formed in a generally circular plate shape when viewed from above. The upper surface of the mounting portion 65 is flat, and a restraining portion 66 is provided on the lower side.

[0102] The plate body 2B has a recess 23 and a pair of engaging pieces 24 on its back side as a structure for connecting the mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B.

[0103] The recess 23 of the plate body 2B is formed as a circular depression when viewed from the bottom. In the example shown in the figure, the recess 23 is formed on the back side of the plate body 2B, at approximately the center when viewed from the bottom.

[0104] The recess 23 is formed so that its size in bottom view is slightly larger than the size of the mounting portion 65 in plan view, and its depth is slightly greater than the thickness of the mounting portion 65. The shape and dimensions of the recess 23 on the back side of the plate body 2B are adjusted so that the mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B can fit into it (in other words, fit snugly without any gaps).

[0105] A pair of engaging protrusions 231 are provided at the opening end (i.e., the lower end) of the opening periphery of the recess 23, at positions that are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the opening and facing each other in the horizontal direction. Each pair of engaging protrusions 231 is provided so as to partially project inward from the opening periphery of the recess 23 toward the center of the circular recess 23 when viewed from the bottom.

[0106] Furthermore, a pair of recesses 651 are provided on the periphery of the mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B, at positions that are spaced apart from each other in the periphery direction and facing each other in the horizontal direction. Each pair of recesses 651 is provided in such a manner that the periphery end of the mounting portion 65 is partially cut out.

[0107] When the tweezer receiving portion 6B is attached to the plate body 2B, the positions of the pair of engaging protrusions 231 in the recess 23 of the plate body 2B and the positions of the pair of recesses 651 in the mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B are aligned with each other, and then the mounting portion 65 enters into the recess 23 by passing each of the pair of engaging protrusions 231 through each of the pair of recesses 651.

[0108] With the mounting portion 65 inserted into the recess 23, the tweezer receiving portion 6B is rotated. As a result, the peripheral portion of the mounting portion 65 other than the pair of recesses 651 partially overlaps with the pair of engaging protrusions 231 of the recess 23, and the mounting portion 65 is gripped (in other words, clamped) by the pair of engaging protrusions 231.

[0109] Recesses 652 are formed near each of the pair of recesses 651 in the mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B.

[0110] Furthermore, protrusions 232 (hidden by the engaging protrusions 231 and not visible in the drawing) are formed inside the recess 23 of the plate body 2B at positions that overlap with the pair of engaging protrusions 231 in a bottom view of the recess 23. The protrusions 232 are provided in such a manner that they project inward from the inner circumferential surface forming the recess 23 toward the center of the circular recess 23 in a bottom view.

[0111] The tweezer receiving portion 6B is rotated with the mounting portion 65 inserted into the recess 23, passing through each of the pair of engaging protrusions 231 and each of the pair of recesses 651, so that each of the pair of recesses 652 of the mounting portion 65 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B engages with each of the pair of protrusions 232 of the recess 23 of the plate body 2B. This prevents the plate body 2B from rotating relative to the tweezer receiving portion 6B or from falling off the tweezer receiving portion 6B while the extension plate 1B is in use.

[0112] The restraining portion 66 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B is formed as a plate-shaped projection extending downward from the lower surface of the mounting portion 65. The plate surface of the mounting portion 65 follows the horizontal plane, while the plate surface of the restraining portion 66 follows the vertical plane.

[0113] The restraining portion 66 is provided on the back side of the plate body 2B via the mounting portion 65, and restrains and holds the pair of interlocking portions 91A, 91B of the separating tweezers 9 that are on the outside in a plan view (in other words, the side furthest from the practitioner) when applying eyelash extensions (specifically, the interlocking portion 91A in the example shown in the figure).

[0114] A mounting recess 661 is formed on the side of the restraining portion 66 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B that is closer to the practitioner, and a restraining portion 662 is also provided.

[0115] The mounting recess 661 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B is formed as a band-shaped groove whose longitudinal direction is aligned with the horizontal direction.

[0116] The biting portion of the pair of biting portions 91A and 91B of the parting tweezers 9 that is furthest from the practitioner (specifically, biting portion 91A in the example shown in the figure) fits into the mounting recess 661 (in other words, it snaps into place). The biting portion 91A fits into the mounting recess 661 in a position where its longitudinal direction is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the recess shape of the mounting recess 661 (i.e., aligned with the horizontal direction).

[0117] The restraining portion 662 of the tweezer receiving portion 6B is a structure for restraining one of the pair of interlocking portions 91A and 91B of the tweezer separating 9 (specifically, the interlocking portion 91A in the example shown in the figure) when it is inserted into the mounting recess 661.

[0118] The restraining portion 662 is provided so as to straddle the mounting recess 661, which is a strip-shaped groove, in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the mounting recess 661. In other words, the restraining portion 662 is provided so as to straddle the mounting recess 661, which is a strip-shaped groove, in the vertical direction.

[0119] In the example shown in the figure, the restraining portions 662 are provided as a pair, spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the mounting recess 661.

[0120] One of the pair of interlocking portions 91A and 91B of the tweezers 9 (specifically, interlocking portion 91A in the example shown in the figure) enters the mounting recess 661 in a position along the longitudinal direction of the mounting recess 661 and penetrates the portion that the restraining portion 662 straddles. As a result, the tweezers receiving portion 6B engages with the tweezers 9, and consequently, the extension plate 1B is detachably attached to the tweezers 9. [Industrial applicability]

[0121] The extension plate according to the present invention is useful, for example, as a tool or instrument used in the procedure of applying eyelash extensions, and is useful in the field of beauty. [Explanation of Symbols]
