Summary of the Invention

Problem to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When performing a pack by covering skin such as the face with a cosmetic mask such as a face mask, it is necessary to increase the adhesion between the mask and the skin in order to allow the beauty serum to sufficiently penetrate into the skin. However, conventional cosmetic masks have a problem that sufficient adhesion cannot be obtained, so that the expected cosmetic effect cannot be achieved.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic mask that can obtain a sufficient cosmetic effect by increasing the adhesion between the mask and the skin.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0006] The beauty mask according to the present invention is made of an elastic sheet-like material and is used with the surface facing outwards and the back side in close contact with the skin, and includes a covering portion that covers the skin. This covering portion includes a face covering portion, a head covering portion, a neck covering portion, etc., which will be described later. Furthermore, the covering portion has a number of through holes that penetrate from the surface to the back side. The diameter of the opening on the back side of these through holes is larger than the diameter of the opening on the surface side of the through hole.

[0007] In a beauty mask with the structure described above, the perforations widen from the front to the back, so when the back of the covering is in close contact with the skin, the perforations of the mask exert a suction effect. This increases the degree of adhesion of the face mask to the face, thereby enhancing the beauty effect.

[0008] The beauty mask of the present invention can be realized as a face mask used in close contact with the face. In this case, the face mask can consist of a face covering portion that covers the face and first ear loops provided on both the left and right sides of the face covering portion. The face covering portion has the aforementioned number of through holes. The first ear loops are provided with openings corresponding to the position of the user's ears. In addition, a chin covering portion that covers the chin may be provided below the face covering portion, and second ear loops having openings corresponding to the position of the user's ears may be provided on both the left and right sides of the chin covering portion.

[0009] The beauty mask of the present invention can be realized as a head mask used in close contact with the head. In this case, the head mask can consist of a head covering portion that covers the head and ear loops provided on both the left and right sides of the head covering portion. The head covering portion has the aforementioned number of through holes. The ear loops are provided with openings corresponding to the position of the user's ears.

[0010] The beauty mask of the present invention can be realized as a neck mask that is worn in close contact with the neck. In this case, the neck mask can consist of a neck covering portion that covers the neck and ear loops provided on the upper side of the neck covering portion. The neck covering portion has the aforementioned number of through holes. The ear loops are provided with openings corresponding to the position of the user's ears.

[0011] In the present invention, it is preferable that the through hole be formed with a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, but the cross-sectional shape of the through hole can be arbitrarily selected as long as it is a flared shape.

[0012] In the present invention, for example, an elastomer resin can be used as the material for the mask. This elastomer resin may contain powder of natural minerals that emit far-infrared rays or negative ions. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present invention, the numerous through-holes formed in the mask have a shape that widens from the front to the back surface. As a result, the suction effect of these through-holes increases the degree of adhesion between the mask and the skin, thereby providing sufficient beauty benefits.

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the cosmetic mask of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Throughout the drawings, the same or corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0016] Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. The cosmetic mask of the first embodiment is a face mask 100 that covers the face. Fig. 1 is a front view showing the shape of the front side of the face mask 100, and Fig. 2 is a back view showing the shape of the back side of the face mask 100. This face mask 100 is used with the front surface A shown in Fig. 1 facing outward and the back surface B shown in Fig. 2 in close contact with the skin.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 1, the face mask 100 includes a first mask 10 and a second mask 20, and these masks 10 and 20 are integrally formed. In the present embodiment, the material of the face mask 100 is an elastomer resin. The elastomer resin is a polymer material having rubber-like elasticity, and has the property of deforming when an external force is applied and returning to its original shape when the external force is removed.

[0018] As such an elastomer resin, for example, Arneston® manufactured by Kuraray Plastics Co., Ltd. can be used. This is a thermoplastic elastomer resin that is easy to injection mold and extrude mold, and has the advantage of easily producing a material with a softness that cannot be achieved with ordinary rubber. Face mask 100 is made by molding this thermoplastic elastomer resin into a sheet. As an example, the thickness of face mask 100 is 1.5 mm.

[0019] The first mask 10 comprises a face covering portion 11 that covers the face, and first ear loops 12a and 12b provided on both the left and right sides of the face covering portion 11. The face covering portion 11 has openings 13a and 13b corresponding to the user's eye position and an opening 14 corresponding to the user's mouth position. The face covering portion 11 also has a nose cover 15 and a slit 16 corresponding to the user's nose position. The first ear loop 12a has an opening 17a corresponding to the user's ear position. The first ear loop 12b also has an opening 17b corresponding to the user's ear position.

[0020] The second mask 20 comprises a chin covering portion 21 that covers the chin, and second ear loops 22a and 22b provided on both sides of the chin covering portion 21. The second ear loop 22a has an opening 23a that corresponds to the position of the user's ear. The second ear loop 22b also has an opening 23b that corresponds to the position of the user's ear.

[0021] Slits 25a and 25b are formed between the first mask 10 and the second mask 20. The presence of these slits 25a and 25b allows the second ear loops 22a and 22b of the second mask 20 to be overlapped with the first ear loops 12a and 12b of the first mask 10 when the face mask 100 is worn, and also allows the openings 23a and 23b of the second ear loops 22a and 22b to be aligned with the openings 17a and 17b of the first ear loops 12a and 12b.

[0022] The first mask 10 and the second mask 20 have numerous through-holes 30 that penetrate from the surface A to the back surface B over a wide area. Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of these through-holes 30. The through-holes 30 have an opening 30a on the surface A of the mask and an opening 30b on the back surface B of the mask. The hole diameter Xb of the opening 30b on the back surface B side is larger than the hole diameter Xa of the opening 30a on the surface A side (Xb > Xa). For example, the hole diameter Xa is 2 mm and the hole diameter Xb is 5 mm. Therefore, the through-holes 30 have a shape that widens from the surface A to the back surface B. More specifically, the cross-section of the through-holes 30 in the thickness direction of the mask (vertical direction in Figure 3) is trapezoidal. Therefore, the shape of the through-holes 30 as seen from the back surface B side is as shown in Figure 2.

[0023] By making the through-hole 30 the shape described above, the degree of contact between the face mask 100 and the skin can be improved. Specifically, after covering the face with the face covering part 11 and the chin with the chin covering part 21, when the first ear loops 12a, 12b and the second ear loops 22a, 22b are placed over both ears, the back surface B of the face covering part 11 will be in close contact with the face, and the back surface B of the chin covering part 21 will be in close contact with the chin.

[0024] In this close-fitting state, the through-holes 30 formed in the face covering portion 11 and the chin covering portion 21 have a shape that widens toward the back surface B. As shown in Figure 4(a), the periphery of the opening 30b on the back surface B bites into the skin SK, and a suction cup effect is exerted by the through-holes 30. Therefore, compared to the case where the openings 30a and 30b of the through-holes 30 have the same diameter (Xa=Xb in Figure 3), as shown in Figure 4(b), the degree of adhesion to the face and chin is increased, and the cosmetic effect can be enhanced.

[0025] Next, with reference to Figure 5, the optimal values ​​for the dimensions and angles of each part of the through-hole 30 will be explained. In Figure 5, as in Figure 3, the diameter of the opening 30a on the surface side of the through-hole 30 is Xa, and the diameter of the opening on the back side of the through-hole 30 is Xb. Also, let Y be the thickness of the sheet-like material that makes up the face mask 100. Furthermore, let θ be the angle between the base and the side of the trapezoidal cross-sectional shape of the through-hole 30.

[0026] In this case, for the aforementioned suction effect by the through-hole 30 to be effectively exerted, it is preferable that Xa, Xb, Y, and θ each satisfy the following conditions (1) to (4). 3.0 ≥ Xa ≥ 1.0 (unit: millimeters) ··· (1) 6.0 ≧ Xb ≧ 4.0 (same as above) ··· (2) 2.0 ≥ Y ≥ 1.0 (Same as above) ... (3) 50°≧ θ ≧ 40° (4)

[0027] In the example in Figure 5, as mentioned above, Xa = 2 mm, Xb = 5 mm, and Y = 1.5 mm, so conditions (1) to (3) above are satisfied. Furthermore, θ can be geometrically calculated from the values ​​of Xa, Xb, and Y using tanθ = 2Y / (Xb-Xa), from which θ = 45°. Therefore, condition (4) above is also satisfied.

[0028] In contrast, if the above conditions (1) to (4) are not met, the cross-sectional shape of the through-hole 30 will be as shown in Figure 6, for example. Figure 6(a) is an example where the flaring is insufficient, and Figure 6(b) is an example where the flaring is excessive; in both cases, a proper suction cup effect cannot be obtained from the through-hole 30.

[0029] Figure 3 shows an example where the cross-sectional shape of the through-hole 30 is trapezoidal, but the through-hole 30 is not limited to a trapezoidal shape; it just needs to have a shape that widens from the surface A to the back surface B. For example, as shown in Figure 7, the inner surface of the through-hole 30 may be curved inward, or as shown in Figure 8, the inner surface of the through-hole 30 may be curved outward.

[0030] In this embodiment, the elastomer resin constituting the face mask 100 contains approximately 10% powder of a natural mineral that emits far-infrared rays (e.g., Onkoseki) or powder of a natural mineral that emits negative ions (e.g., tourmaline). Either one or both may be included. The same applies to the second to fourth embodiments described later.

[0031] Far-infrared rays are known to penetrate deep into the skin, improving blood circulation and activating cells. Negative ions are known to prevent cell oxidation, maintain skin health, and help prevent blemishes and wrinkles through their antioxidant properties. Therefore, using Face Mask 100, which contains substances that emit these, can further enhance the beauty benefits.

[0032] Figure 9 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The beauty mask of the second embodiment is also a face mask 200 that covers the face. Figure 9 is a front view showing the shape of the front side of the face mask 200, and Figure 10 is a rear view showing the shape of the back side of the face mask 200.

[0033] The face mask 200 in Figure 9 is a disc-shaped mask that covers a portion of the face (the area above the mouth). Specifically, the face mask 200 has openings 41a and 41b corresponding to the user's eye positions, and a nose cover 42 and slit 43 corresponding to the user's nose position. The material of the face mask 200 is the same elastomer resin as in the first embodiment.

[0034] This face mask 200 also has numerous through-holes 50 that penetrate from the surface A to the back surface B over a wide area. These through-holes 50 are the same as the through-holes 30 in the first embodiment (Figure 1), and the cross-sectional shape of the through-holes 50 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the through-holes 30 shown in Figure 3. That is, as can be seen from Figure 10, the diameter of the opening 50b on the back surface B side of the face mask 200 is larger than the diameter of the opening 50a on the surface A side. Note that the cross-sectional shape of the through-holes 50 may be the shape shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0035] Therefore, even when the face is covered with such a face mask 200, the through-holes 50 have a shape that widens from the surface A to the back surface B, so the suction effect of the through-holes 50 is exerted. As a result, the degree of adhesion to the face is increased compared to when the openings 50a and 50b of the through-holes 50 have the same diameter, and the beauty effect can be enhanced.

[0036] Figure 11 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. The beauty mask of the third embodiment is a head mask 300 that covers the head. Figure 11 is a front view showing the shape of the front side of the head mask 300, and Figure 12 is a rear view showing the shape of the back side of the head mask 300. This head mask 300 is used with the surface A shown in Figure 11 facing outwards and the back side B shown in Figure 12 in close contact with the scalp.

[0037] As shown in Figure 11, the head mask 300 comprises a head covering portion 60 that covers the head, and ear loops 62a and 62b provided on both the left and right sides of the head covering portion 60. The head covering portion 60 has numerous through holes 63, which will be described later. The ear loops 62a and 62b have openings 63a and 63b that correspond to the position of the user's ears. The material of the head mask 300 is the same elastomer resin as in the first embodiment.

[0038] When attaching the head mask 300 to the head, the head covering portion 60 is used to cover the head so that the front end 61 of the head covering portion 60 is positioned near the hairline, and the ear hooks 62a and 62b are placed over both ears.

[0039] This head mask 300 also has numerous through-holes 63 that penetrate from the surface A to the back surface B across a wide area of ​​the head covering portion 60. These through-holes 63 are the same as the through-holes 30 in the first embodiment (Figure 1), and the cross-sectional shape of the through-holes 63 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the through-holes 30 shown in Figure 3. That is, as can be seen from Figure 12, the diameter of the opening on the back surface B side of the through-holes 63 is larger than the diameter of the opening on the surface A side of the through-holes 63. Note that the cross-sectional shape of the through-holes 63 may be the shape shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0040] Therefore, even when the head is covered with such a head mask 300, the through-holes 63 have a shape that widens from the surface A to the back surface B, so the suction effect of the through-holes 63 is exerted. As a result, compared to the case where the openings on the front and back sides of the through-holes 63 have the same diameter, the degree of adhesion to the scalp is increased, and the beauty effect can be enhanced.

[0041] Figure 13 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The beauty mask of the fourth embodiment is a neck mask 400 that covers the neck. Figure 13 is a front view showing the shape of the front side of the neck mask 400, and Figure 14 is a rear view showing the shape of the back side of the neck mask 400. This neck mask 400 is used with the front surface A shown in Figure 13 facing outwards and the back surface B shown in Figure 14 in close contact with the neck.

[0042] As shown in Figure 13, the neck mask 400 comprises a neck covering portion 70 that covers the neck and a holding portion 80 located above the neck covering portion 70 to hold the neck covering portion 70. Numerous through holes 78, which will be described later, are formed in the neck covering portion 70 and the holding portion 80. The neck covering portion 70 consists of a first covering portion 74 and a second covering portion 75. The shape of the first covering portion 74 is a horizontally elongated rectangle, and the shape of the second covering portion 75 is a trapezoid. A pair of through holes 76 are formed near the right end of the first covering portion 74, and a pair of buttons 77 are provided near the left end of the first covering portion 74.

[0043] The holding portion 80 comprises a curved portion 71 and ear hooks 72a and 72b provided on both the left and right sides of the curved portion 71. The ear hooks 72a and 72b have openings 73a and 73b that correspond to the position of the user's ears. The material of the neck mask 400 is the same elastomer resin as in the first embodiment.

[0044] To put on the neck mask 400, first, wrap the first covering portion 74 of the neck covering portion 70 around the neck, and fasten the button 77 into the through-hole 76 at the back of the neck, so that the neck is covered by the first covering portion 74, as shown in Figure 15. At this time, the second covering portion 75 also covers a part of the neck. Next, place the left and right ear loops 72a and 72b of the holding portion 80 over both ears, as shown in Figure 15. This covers the area under the chin and part of the cheeks with the curved portion 71 of the holding portion 80, completing the wearing of the neck mask 400.

[0045] This neck mask 400 also has numerous through holes 78 that penetrate from the surface A to the back surface B across a wide area of ​​the neck covering portion 70 and the holding portion 80. These through holes 78 are the same as the through holes 30 in the first embodiment (Figure 1), and the cross-sectional shape of the through holes 78 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the through holes 30 shown in Figure 3. That is, as can be seen from Figure 14, the diameter of the opening on the back surface B side of the through holes 78 is larger than the diameter of the opening on the surface A side of the through holes 78. Note that the cross-sectional shape of the through holes 78 may be the shape shown in Figures 7 and 8.

[0046] Therefore, even when the neck is covered with such a neck mask 400, the through-holes 78 have a shape that widens from the surface A to the back surface B, so the suction effect of the through-holes 78 is exerted. As a result, compared to the case where the openings on the front and back sides of the through-holes 78 have the same diameter, the degree of adhesion to the skin is increased, and the beauty effect can be enhanced.

[0047] In Figure 13, through holes 78 are formed in both the neck covering portion 70 and the holding portion 80. However, through holes 78 may be formed only in the neck covering portion 70, and the through holes 78 in the holding portion 80 may be omitted. Alternatively, through holes 78 may be formed only in the first covering portion 74 of the neck covering portion 70, and the through holes 78 in the second covering portion 75 may be omitted.

[0048] The face masks 100 and 200 of the first and second embodiments described above, the head mask 300 of the third embodiment, and the neck mask 400 of the fourth embodiment may be used individually or together with other masks.

[0049] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various other embodiments can be adopted as follows.

[0050] Figure 1 shows an example of a face mask 100 comprising a first mask 10 including a face covering portion 11 and a second mask 20 including a chin covering portion 21. However, the second mask 20 may be omitted, and the face mask may be constructed using only the first mask 10.

[0051] In Figure 9, the face mask 200 does not have ear loops, but ear loops similar to those shown in Figure 1 (12a, 12b) may be provided. Furthermore, the face mask 200 may be a vertically elongated oval shape extending below the nose. In this case, an opening corresponding to the mouth position should be provided. Additionally, a chin covering portion similar to the chin covering portion 21 in Figure 1 may be provided on the face mask 200.

[0052] In Figure 13, a retaining portion 80 is provided above the neck covering portion 70, but the retaining portion 80 may be omitted, and the neck mask 400 may be constructed using only the neck covering portion 70. Also, in Figure 13, the neck covering portion 70 is composed of a first covering portion 74 and a second covering portion 75, but the second covering portion 75 may be omitted, and the neck covering portion 70 may be constructed using only the first covering portion 74.

[0053] In the embodiments described above, elastomer resin was used as an example material for the beauty masks 100 to 400. However, the material of the mask is not limited to elastomer resin, but may be other elastic polymer materials (for example, silicone resin).

[0054] In the embodiments described above, cosmetic masks 100 to 400 that cover the face, head, and neck were given as examples, but the present invention can also be applied to cosmetic masks that have covering parts of the body other than these. [Explanation of Symbols]
