Description

False eyelash holder and false eyelash holder case

[0001] The present invention relates to a false eyelash holder and a false eyelash holder case.

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a holder for holding false eyelashes. This holder has a structure in which recesses or the like are provided on the holding surface, which allows for non-adherence of the false eyelashes to the adhesive surface. This structure makes it possible to quickly remove the false eyelashes from the holder without reducing the adhesive strength of the false eyelashes.

[0003] Utility Model Registration No. 3177775

[0004] The adhesive strength of the false eyelashes to the holder is not uniform throughout, and there may be strongly adhesive portions. As an example, Patent Document 1 discloses a holder having two recessed structures that can serve as non-adherent portions (see, for example, Figure 5 of Patent Document 1), but inserting the tips of tweezers into the gaps formed by these recessed structures is itself a cumbersome task, and even if the tips of the tweezers are inserted into the gaps to pinch the false eyelashes, if there are strongly adhesive portions, there is a risk of damaging the false eyelashes by applying a large force when trying to pinch and pull off part of the false eyelashes with the tweezers.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a false eyelash holder and a holding case that allow false eyelashes to be easily peeled off from the holder.

[0006] The false eyelash holder of the present invention comprises a base extending in a first direction on a fixing surface and having a flat surface on one side thereof along the first direction, and three or more holding portions arranged in parallel in the first direction on the fixing surface, each of which is connected to the flat surface of the base and extends in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the flat surface, and each of which has a curved surface to which a portion of the false eyelash is adhered on the opposite side of the connecting portion with the base in the second direction, the curved surfaces being spaced apart. The holding portion in the center in the first direction is longer in the second direction than the holding portions at the ends.

[0007] The false eyelash holder of the present invention has one or more of the above-mentioned holders fixed to a fixing surface.

[0008] According to the false eyelash holder and holding case of the present invention, the false eyelash holder is composed of two or more holding parts arranged side by side, and each holding part has a curved surface to which a part of the false eyelash is adhered, and the curved surfaces are arranged side by side with a space between them.

[0009] By including multiple holding parts in the holder base, the width of the curved surface of each holding part to which the false eyelashes are attached is shortened, thereby preventing the occurrence of strongly adhesive parts. Furthermore, even if strongly adhesive parts exist on the curved surface of the holding parts, it is easy to insert a member such as a rod into the gap between the holding parts, and this member can be used to apply additional force to the false eyelashes in the direction of peeling them off, making it easy to peel the false eyelashes off the holder base.

[0023] The following detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention will be given with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components will be given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted. In the following description, the top, bottom, left, right, and height directions in the drawings will be used, but these directions are used for convenience of explanation and do not limit the arrangement of the false eyelash holder and the false eyelash holder case.

[0012] (First embodiment) Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a false eyelash holding case 1 according to the first embodiment. The holding case 1 has a decorative area 2 at the top where product descriptions are printed or stickers are attached, and a holding area 3 below the decorative area 2 where false eyelash holders 5, 6 are provided. A hook 4 is provided near the center of the top of the decorative area 2, which is used for displaying the false eyelashes in a store. The holding area 3 has two types of holders 5, 6, two horizontally (left and right) and five vertically (top and bottom), for a total of ten holders. The holding area 3 is an example of a fixing surface for fixing the holders 5, 6.

[0013] The holding case 1 as a whole is configured so that the decorative area 2 and the holding bases 5 and 6 protrude a predetermined length in the height direction from the holding area 3. The holding case 1 can be made of any material. As an example, the holding case 1 may be constructed by embossing the decorative area 2 and the holding bases 5 and 6 in the height direction from the back side of a plastic plate-shaped member.

[0014] The holding area 3 is provided with two types of holding tables 5, 6: two holding tables 5 that are integrally formed with the decorative area 2 and aligned in the horizontal direction, and eight holding tables 6 that are aligned in the vertical direction from each of these two holding tables 5. Furthermore, as will be described in detail with reference to Figures 2A to 4 and 6A to 6B, the holding tables 5, 6 are composed of a plurality of holding members 51 to 57, 61 to 67.

[0015] Fig. 2A is a perspective view of the holding table 6. Fig. 2B is a top view of the holding table 6 as viewed from the height direction. In the illustrated example, the holding table 6 is configured by seven holding members 61 to 67 arranged side by side in the horizontal (left-right) direction.

[0016] The holder 6 is composed of holders 63-61 and 65-67, which are arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides of the centrally located holder 64 and extend in the height direction. The holders 61-67 have curved surfaces 611-671 that bulge downward, and are arranged so that these curved surfaces 611-671 as a whole form an arc that protrudes downward. These curved surfaces 611-671 form the surfaces to which the false eyelashes are attached.

[0017] For ease of explanation, FIG. 2B shows a line A-A' connecting the outer ends A, A' of the curved surfaces 611, 671 of the holding members 61, 67 provided at the left and right ends in the horizontal direction. The holding members 61, 67 are arranged so that the line A-A' substantially coincides with the horizontal direction (left and right) of the holding case 1. Furthermore, the holding members 61, 67 have end faces 612, 672 that extend in the height direction, similar to the curved surfaces 611, 671. The end faces 612, 672 are adjacent to the curved surfaces 611, 671 via the height-direction edge at the horizontal end. The end faces 612, 672 are configured to be substantially perpendicular to the line A-A', i.e., aligned vertically, within the plane of the holding area 3.

[0018] Scale portions 31, 32 are formed on the left outer side of end face 612 of holding member 61 and on holding area 3 on the right outer side of end face 672 of holding member 67. Scale portions 31, 32 are made up of a plurality of straight lines spaced apart at a predetermined length, and these multiple straight lines are arranged at an angle of 45 to 90 degrees with respect to the lateral extension plane of curved surfaces 611, 671, more preferably approximately perpendicular.

[0019] The scales 31 and 32 are an example of a measuring means. By providing the scales 31 and 32, when the false eyelashes held on the holder 6 extend beyond the ends A and A' of the curved surfaces 611 and 671, it becomes possible to measure the distance from the ends A and A' of the curved surfaces 611 and 671 to the tip of the false eyelashes. The effect of providing the scales 31 and 32 will be described with reference to Figures 3A and 3B.

[0020] 2B also shows dimensions for explaining the size of the holder 6. Let L be the width of the attachment area on the holder 6 where the false eyelashes are attached, n be the number of holder members 61 to 67 (seven in this embodiment), w be the width of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of each holder member 61 to 67, and d be the spacing between the holder members 61 to 67. These design values ​​will be explained using FIGS. 5A and 5B.

[0021] Fig. 3A is a perspective view of the holder 6 on which the false eyelashes 7 are held. Fig. 3B is a top view of the holder 5 on which the false eyelashes 7 are held. The false eyelashes 7 include a shaft 71 and bristles 72, with multiple bristles 72 attached to the shaft 71. An adhesive member is attached to the entire shaft 71, and the false eyelashes 7 are held on the holder 6 by having parts of the shaft 71 attached to the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the holders 61 to 67 with the adhesive member.

[0022] In this embodiment, the holder 6 holds the false eyelashes 7 that are laterally longer than the holding surface formed by the curved surfaces 611 to 671. For example, since the width L of the attachment area of ​​the holder 6 formed by the holding members 61 to 67 is 26 to 31 mm, if the length of the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 is 30 to 35 mm, the shaft 71 will protrude 2 mm on both the left and right sides from the attachment area of ​​the holder 6. In other words, the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 is held by the holder 6 so that it exceeds the ends of the curved surfaces 611 and 671 (A and A' in FIG. 2B ) by 2 mm each.

[0023] In this state where the shaft 71 protrudes 2 mm on each side from the attachment area of ​​the holder 6, the provision of the scales 31 and 32 makes it possible to measure the distance from the ends A and A' of the curved surfaces 611 and 671 to the tip of the false eyelash 7. During the manufacturing process, the false eyelash 7 is attached to the holder 6 manually or automatically (manually in most cases) using an adhesive member, and the provision of the scales 31 and 32 makes it easier to position the false eyelash 7 when it is attached beyond the ends of the holder 6.

[0024] The scales 31 and 32 are an example of a measuring means, and any configuration is possible as long as it is possible to measure the distance from the ends A and A' on a line extending laterally outward from the curved surfaces 611 and 671. For example, recessed or protruding marks may be formed at predetermined intervals on a line extending laterally from the curved surfaces 611 and 671. As another example, a grid pattern may be formed over the entire holding area 3, and the distance from the ends A and A' may be measured using the grid pattern. The pattern may be formed in any manner, such as by printing or by forming grooves.

[0025] 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which a user peels off the false eyelashes 7 from the holder 6. For example, the user holds the left end of the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 with tweezers 81 and moves the tweezers 81 in a direction away from the holder 6 (downward) and in the direction in which the false eyelashes 7 are attached (to the right), thereby peeling off the shaft 71 from the curved surfaces 611 and 621. This figure shows a state in which the shaft 71 is completely peeled off from the curved surface 611 and then peeled off from the curved surface 621.

[0026] Here, it is assumed that the curved surface 621 has a strong adhesive portion that provides a strong adhesive force to the shaft 71. In such a case, if the false eyelashes 7 are pulled off by applying force only to the left end of the shaft 71 with the tweezers 81, the false eyelashes 7 may be damaged. Therefore, the user can insert a rod 82 between the holding member 62 and the holding member 63 to push the false eyelashes 7 outward.

[0027] In this way, a force can be applied by the tweezers 81 to the left side of the strong adhesive portion on the curved surface 621 in a direction away from the curved surface 621, and a force can be applied by the rod 82 to the right side of the strong adhesive portion in a direction away from the curved surface 621. As a result, since multiple points of application of force to the strong adhesive portion are provided, the applied force is dispersed, and therefore the false eyelashes 7 can be peeled off from the curved surface 621 while preventing damage to the false eyelashes 7.

[0028] Furthermore, the end faces 612, 672 of the holding members 61, 67 are configured to be perpendicular to the line A-A', i.e., aligned vertically. With this configuration, when the user pinches the end of the shaft 71 of the false eyelash 7 with the tweezers 81, the user can move the tip of the tweezers 81 up and down along the end faces 612, 672, making the pinching operation easier.

[0029] Here, the details of the configuration of the holder 6 will be described. As shown in Fig. 2B, the width of the area on the holder 6 where the false eyelashes 7 are attached is L, the number of holders 5 is n, the curved surface width of the curved surfaces 611-671 of each of the holder members 61-67 is w, and the separation width between the holder members 61-67 is d. In the following description, the design will be described assuming that the curved surface width w and the separation width d are equal, but the curved surface width w and the separation width d of the holder members 61-67 may be configured arbitrarily, and if they are not equal, the description will be understood as referring to average values.

[0030] First, the axis 71, which determines the length of the false eyelashes 7 in the inter-eye width direction, is approximately 30 to 35 mm. Therefore, when the axis 71 is approximately 30 mm, the width L of the attachment area of ​​the false eyelashes 7 on the attachment base 6 is preferably approximately 26 mm in order to hold the false eyelashes 7 so that they protrude laterally from the attachment base 6. When the axis 71 is approximately 35 mm, the width L of the attachment area of ​​the attachment base 6 is preferably approximately 31 mm. By designing the attachment area L of the attachment base 6 to be shorter than the axis 71 of the false eyelashes 7, the false eyelashes 7 can be fixed so that they protrude 2 mm from the left side of the attachment member 61 and the right side of the attachment member 67. As a result, the user can pinch the 2 mm protruding portion with tweezers 81 and pull off the false eyelashes 7.

[0031] Furthermore, because the end faces 612, 672 of the holding members 61, 67 are configured to be perpendicular to the line A-A', i.e., aligned vertically, when the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 is peeled off and then reattached to the holder 6, the end of the shaft 71 can be attached to the end faces 612, 672 without causing significant bending of the shaft 71. In this way, the possibility of dust or the like adhering to the end of the shaft 71 is reduced, and the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 can be reattached to the holder 6 while preventing significant bending of the shaft 71.

[0032] Next, the width w of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the holding members 61 to 67 is preferably 2 to 4 mm. This is because, when cyanoacrylate, which is often used as an adhesive material (glue tape) for the false eyelashes 7, is used, the width w should be 4 mm or less to significantly reduce the frequency of occurrence of strong adhesive portions, and 2 mm or more to ensure a certain level of adhesive strength.

[0033] Similarly, the separation width d between the holding members 61 to 67 is preferably 2 to 4 mm. This is because the diameter of a member that can be used as the stick 82 and that can be held by a user of the false eyelashes 7 is thought to be about 3 mm. Note that, as the separation width d increases, the possibility of dust and the like adhering to the non-contact portion of the shaft 71 increases, so it has been experimentally determined that a width exceeding 5 mm is undesirable.

[0034] Here, if the total number of holding members 61 to 67 is n, then the number of spaced portions is (n-1). Therefore, the width L of the attachment area satisfies the relationship "nw + (n-1)d = L" when the width w of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the n holding members 61 to 67 and the spaced width d of the (n-1) spaced portions are used.

[0035] 5A is a graph showing the relationship between the curved surface width w and the separation width d when L = 26 mm and n = 3 to 8. As shown in this figure, in order for the curved surface width w and the separation width d of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 to be 2 to 4 mm, n must be one of 4 to 7. That is, when n = 4, w = 3.5 to 4 mm and d = 4 to 3.3 mm; when n = 5, w = 2 to 3.6 mm and d = 4 to 2 mm; when n = 6, w = 2 to 2.7 mm and d = 2.8 to 2 mm; and when n = 7, w = 2 mm and d = 2 mm. However, when n is 3 or less or 8 or more, it is not possible to design the curved surface width w and the separation width d to be 2 to 4 mm when the attachment area width L is 26 mm.

[0036] FIG. 5B is a graph showing the relationship between the curved surface width w and the separation width d when L = 31 mm and n = 3 to 9. As shown in this figure, in order for the curved surface width w and the separation width d of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 to be 2 to 4 mm, n must be one of 5 to 8. That is, when n = 5, w = 3.5 to 3 mm and d = 4 to 2.8 mm; when n = 6, w = 2 to 3.5 mm and d = 3.8 to 2 mm; when n = 7, w = 2 to 2.8 mm and d = 2.7 to 2 mm; and when n = 8, w = 2 to 2.1 mm and d = 2.1 to 2 mm. However, when n is 4 or less or 9 or more, it is not possible to design the curved surface width w and the separation width d to be 2 to 4 mm when the attachment area width L is 31 mm.

[0037] 5A and 5B, when L is 26 to 31 mm, it is preferable that n is 5 to 7. In this way, the curved surface width w of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 and the length of the separation width d therebetween are determined according to the attachment area width L and the number n of the holding members 61 to 61.

[0038] Fig. 6A is a perspective view showing the detailed structure of the holder 5. Fig. 6B is a top view of the holder 5. Compared to the holder 6, the holder 5 has the same configuration as the holder 6 in terms of the curved surfaces 511 to 571 to which the false eyelashes 7 are attached, but there are some differences.

[0039] As shown in the figure, the holder 5 is composed of holding members 51 to 57 arranged in parallel in the left-right direction, and the holding members 51 to 57 have curved surfaces 511 to 571 that form holding surfaces for the false eyelashes 7. For ease of explanation, a line B-B' is shown connecting the outer widthwise ends B and B' of the curved surfaces 511 and 571 of the holding members 51 and 57 provided at the widthwise ends.

[0040] The left and right side surfaces of the holding members 61 to 67 of the holding base 6 are configured to radiate from the top of the central holding member 64, while the holding members 51 to 57 of the holding base 5 are configured so that their side surfaces are perpendicular to the line B-B', i.e., aligned in the vertical direction. The holding members 51 to 57 of the holding base 5 are longer in the vertical direction than the holding members 61 to 67 of the holding base 6, and are formed integrally with the decorative area 2.

[0041] Despite these differences, the curved surfaces 511 to 571 of the holding members 51 to 57 have the same configuration as the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the holding members 61 to 67. That is, the curved surface width w and the separation width d of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 are the same. As a result, the attachment area width L of the holding bases 5 and 6 is the same, and the false eyelashes 7 are held in the same way on both the holding bases 5 and 6.

[0042] Similarly to the end faces 612, 672 of the holding members 61, 67 provided at the horizontal ends, the holding members 51, 57 have end faces 512, 572 that are continuous with the curved surfaces 611, 671. The end faces 512, 572 are configured to be substantially perpendicular to the line B-B', i.e., aligned vertically, within the plane of the holding area 3. As a result, when the user pinches the end of the shaft 71 of the false eyelash 7 with the tweezers 81, the user can move the tip of the tweezers 81 vertically along the end faces 512, 572, making the pinching operation easier.

[0043] The end faces 512 and 572 may be configured to have a rougher surface than the curved faces 611 to 671. This configuration can prevent the shafts 71 of the false eyelashes 7 that protrude from the left side of the holding member 61 and the right side of the holding member 67 from sticking to the end faces 512 and 572.

[0044] Scale portions 33 and 34 are formed on the left side of the end surface 512 of the holding member 51 and on the holding area 3 on the right side of the end surface 572 of the holding member 57. Similar to the scale portions 31 and 32, the scale portions 33 and 34 enable measurement of the distance from the end portions B and B' of the curved surfaces 511 and 571 to the tip of the false eyelash 7.

[0045] According to the holders 5 and 6 of the first embodiment, by being configured with a plurality of holding members 51-57, 61-67, the width of the curved surfaces 511-571, which are the adhered portions of the shafts 71 of the false eyelashes 7, of each holding member 51-57, 61-67, is shortened, thereby suppressing the occurrence of strongly adhesive portions. Furthermore, even if strongly adhesive portions exist on the curved surfaces 511-571, 611-671 of the holding members 51-57, 61-67, the rod 82 can be inserted into the gaps between the holding members 51-57, 61-67 to apply additional force to the false eyelashes 7 in the peeling direction, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the false eyelashes 7 due to a large force acting on the strongly adhesive portions, and the false eyelashes 7 can be easily peeled off from the holders 5 and 6.

[0046] Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, an example in which the holding members 61 to 67 of the holding base 6 are configured to have a substantially equal width has been described, but this is not limiting. In the second embodiment, an example in which the holding members 61 to 67 of the holding base 6 are not configured to have a uniform width will be described.

[0047] Fig. 7A is a perspective view of a holder 6A of the second embodiment. Fig. 7B is a top view of the holder 6A. The holder 6A is composed of holder members 61A to 67A, and the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the holder members 61A to 67A have the same shapes (height and width w) as the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the holder members 61 to 67 of the holder 6 of the first embodiment.

[0048] However, while the holding members 61 to 67 of the first embodiment are configured with equal widths, the holding members 61A to 67A of the second embodiment are configured with the curved surfaces 611 to 671 (lower sides) being wider than their opposing surfaces (upper sides), resulting in the separation width d between the holding members 61A to 67A being narrower on the curved surfaces 611 to 671 (lower sides) than on the opposing surfaces (upper sides).

[0049] In the holder 6 of the second embodiment, the distance d between the holder members 61A to 67A is narrower on the curved surfaces 611 to 671 side (lower side) than on the opposing surface side (upper side). Therefore, when inserting the rod 82 from the opposing surface side (upper side) of the curved surfaces 611 to 671 of the holder members 61A to 67A, the insertion is easy, and the side surfaces of the holder members 61A to 67A guide the rod 82, which makes it easier to press the shaft 71 of the false eyelash 7 between the curved surfaces 611 to 671 from the inside.

[0050] Third Embodiment In the first embodiment, an example in which the scales 31 and 32 are provided as measuring means in the holding area 3 has been described, but the example of the measuring means is not limited to this. In the third embodiment, an example in which another type of measuring means is provided will be described.

[0051] Fig. 8A is a perspective view of the holder 9 of the third embodiment. Fig. 8B is a top view of the holder 9. The holder 9 is composed of holder members 91 to 95. The holder members 91 to 95 have curved surfaces 911 to 951 that can hold the false eyelashes 7.

[0052] A scale member 96 is provided on the left side of the holding member 91 located at the left end of the holding base 9, and a scale member 97 is provided on the right side of the holding member 95 located at the right end. The scale members 96, 97 have scales provided on their upper surfaces. Similar to the scale portions 31, 32 of the first embodiment, these scales are provided so as to form an angle of 45 to 90 degrees (preferably approximately perpendicular) with respect to the lateral extensions of the curved surfaces 911, 971. The scale members 96, 97 are an example of a removable measuring member.

[0053] As a result, when the false eyelashes 7 held on the holder 9 extend beyond the ends of the curved surfaces 911, 951, it is possible to measure the distance from the ends of the curved surfaces 911, 951 to the tip of the false eyelashes 7. The scale members 96, 97 may be provided on end surfaces 962 (not shown), 972 that are continuous with the curved surfaces 911, 951 of the holders 91, 95. The scale members 96, 97 are configured to be removable from the holder area 3.

[0054] According to the holder 9 of the third embodiment configured in this manner, the user can remove the scale members 96, 97 from the holding area 3 before peeling the false eyelashes 7 off the holder 9. As a result, the portions of the false eyelashes 7 held on the holder 9 that extend beyond the ends of the curved surfaces 911, 951 are exposed, making it easier for the user to grip the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 with the tweezers 81. Furthermore, the provision of the scale members 96, 97 makes it difficult for dust to adhere to the end of the shaft 71, thereby preventing a decrease in adhesive strength.

[0055] (Fourth Embodiment) The holder 5 described in the first embodiment was formed integrally with the decorative area 2. In the present embodiment, a different type of holder will be described, which is composed of a base (the decorative area 2 in the first embodiment) extending in a first direction and a plurality of holders (the holder members 51 to 57 in the first embodiment) connected to the base and extending in a second direction.

[0056] 9 is a perspective view of the holding case 1 of the fourth embodiment. In this figure, the left-right direction in the figure is referred to as the first direction (or X-axis), the up-down direction is referred to as the second direction (or Y-axis), and the height direction is referred to as the third direction (or Z-axis).

[0057] The holding case 1 includes a holding base 5 formed integrally with the decorative area 2 at the top of the holding area 3, and a holding base 12 located below the holding base 5. The holding base 5 located at the top is configured by integrally forming the decorative area 2, which serves as the base, and a plurality of holding members 51 to 57 (holding portions) connected to the decorative area 2 (base portion). As shown in the figure, two holding bases 5 are arranged side by side in the first direction for one decorative area 2.

[0058] A plurality of holding tables 12 are provided below the two holding tables 5. In the illustrated example, a total of eight holding tables 12 are provided, two in the first direction and four in the second direction. The two holding tables 12 are configured using a base configured to span the entire holding area 3 in the first direction.

[0059] In this embodiment, an example will be described in which two holders 12 extending in the first direction are configured using one base, but this is not limiting. One, three or more holders 12 may be configured for one base. Furthermore, the base does not need to be configured to span the entire first direction of the holding area 3, as long as it extends in the first direction.

[0060] Fig. 10A is a perspective view of the holder 12 according to this embodiment, and Fig. 10B is a top view thereof. The holder 12 is formed to protrude in the third direction from the holding area 3, and includes a base 121 extending in the first direction, and a plurality of holders 122 to 128 connected to the base 121 and extending in the second direction. The base 121 extends along the first direction and protrudes from the holding area 3 in the height direction (third direction). The base 121 has a side surface (flat surface 1211) facing the second direction.

[0061] The plurality of holding portions 122 to 128 arranged side by side in the first direction are connected to the flat surface 1211 of the base 121, and the holding base 12 is integrally formed as a whole. In the illustrated example, the holding base 12 is composed of the base 121 and seven holding portions 122 to 128. The holding portions 122 to 128 are rod-shaped members with rectangular cross sections that extend in the second direction, and have curved surfaces 1221 to 1281, to which false eyelashes are adhered, at the ends opposite to the side connected to the flat surface 1211 of the base 121.

[0062] A feature of this embodiment is that the lengths in the second direction of the holding portions 122 to 128 are different from one another. Specifically, the holding portion 125 located in the center is the longest, and the lengths become gradually shorter toward both ends, with the order of length being holding portion 125 > holding portions 124, 126 > holding portions 123, 127 > holding portions 122, 128.

[0063] The curved surfaces 1221 to 1281 at the tips of the holders 122 to 128 on the opposite side of the base 121 are arranged to form a downward arc that conforms to the shape of the false eyelashes. The shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 (not shown) is attached and held to this curved surface with an adhesive member.

[0064] Furthermore, scales 33 and 34 can be formed on the left side of the outermost holding portion 122 and on the holding area 3 on the right side of the holding portion 128. Similar to the scales 31 and 32 in the above-described embodiment, these scales 33 and 34 make it possible to measure the length of the false eyelashes that extend beyond the ends of the curved surfaces 1221 to 1281, and make it easier to position the false eyelashes 7 when attaching them.

[0065] The support table 12 of the fourth embodiment having such a configuration provides the following effects.

[0066] First, operability is improved. As shown in Figure 4 in the previous embodiment, even if the false eyelashes 7 have a strongly adhesive portion on a portion of the curved surfaces 1221 to 1281, the false eyelashes can be easily removed without being damaged by inserting the rod 82 into the gaps between the holding portions 122 to 128 and pushing them out. In this embodiment, the holding portions 124 to 126 in the center are particularly long, ensuring ample space for inserting the tool, making this operation even easier.

[0067] Furthermore, improved strength and durability can be expected. When manufacturing the holder by, for example, injection molding, if each holding portion is independent, structural integrity is reduced. In particular, the strength of the central holding portion 125, which requires length, can be an issue. In this embodiment, a base 121 extending in the first direction is provided, and holding portions 122 to 128 are integrally connected to it. This increases the integrity of the entire holder 12, ensuring sufficient strength. Furthermore, by designing the holding portions 122 and 128 at the ends, which are more susceptible to external forces, to be short, the durability of the entire holder 12 is further improved.

[0068] Furthermore, there is an advantage in manufacturability. In plastic embossing molding, etc., in a configuration in which each holding portion protrudes independently, as in the holding base 6 of the first embodiment, if the gap between the holding portions 122 to 128 is narrow, the wall thickness becomes thin (thin walls), which may cause insufficient strength or molding defects. In the configuration of this embodiment, the base 121 and the holding portions 122 to 128 are connected, and the holding base 12 is configured as an integrated whole, so the occurrence of such thin walls can be suppressed, contributing to stable quality manufacturing.

[0069] Fifth Embodiment The scale portions 33 and 34 are provided on the holding base 12, which is composed of the base 121 and holding portions 122 to 128 as in the fourth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, an example will be described in which the scale portions 33 and 34 are replaced with the removable scale members disclosed in the third embodiment.

[0070] 11 is a perspective view of the support base 13 according to the fifth embodiment. In this figure, the left-right direction in the figure is referred to as the first direction (or X-axis), the up-down direction is referred to as the second direction (or Y-axis), and the height direction is referred to as the third direction (or Z-axis).

[0071] The holder 13 is composed of a base 131 and five holders 132 to 136 arranged side by side in a first direction. The holders 132 to 136 have curved surfaces 1321 to 1361 capable of holding the false eyelashes 7. The base 131 has a flat surface 1311 facing the second direction on the side of the first direction, and the holders 132 to 136 are connected to the flat surface 1311 and are provided with the holders 132 to 136 extending in the second direction. The holders 132 to 136 hold the false eyelashes 7 on the curved surfaces 1321 to 1361 on the side opposite to the side connected to the base 131.

[0072] A scale member 137 is provided on the left side of the holding portion 132 located at the left end of the holding base 13, and a scale member 138 is provided on the right side of the holding portion 136 located at the right end. The scale members 137, 138 are configured to protrude from the holding region 3 and have side surfaces 1371, 1381 that are continuous with the curved surfaces 1321, 1361 of the adjacent holding portions 132, 136 and form holding surfaces for the false eyelashes 7. The scale members 137, 138 have a side surface that faces the side surface 1311 of the base 131. In the illustrated example, the scale members 137, 138 do not have a side surface that faces the end surface of the holding portion 132, 136 facing outward in the first direction, but may have such a side surface.

[0073] Furthermore, scales are provided on the upper surfaces of the scale members 137 and 138. As shown in the previous embodiment, these scales are a plurality of straight lines provided at angles of 45 to 90 degrees (preferably approximately perpendicular) with respect to the lateral extensions of the curved surfaces 1321 and 1361. The scale members 137 and 138 are an example of a removable measurement member.

[0074] As a result, when the false eyelashes 7 held on the holder 13 extend beyond the ends of the curved surfaces 1321 and 1361, it becomes possible to measure the distance from the ends of the curved surfaces 1321 and 1361 to the tip of the false eyelashes 7. Furthermore, the scale members 137 and 138 are configured to be detachable from the holding area 3.

[0075] According to the holder 13 of the fifth embodiment configured in this manner, the user can remove the scale members 137, 138 from the holding area 3 before peeling the false eyelashes 7 off the holder 13. As a result, the portions of the false eyelashes 7 held on the holder 13 that extend beyond the ends of the curved surfaces 1321, 1361 are exposed, making it easier for the user to grip the shaft 71 of the false eyelashes 7 with the tweezers 81. Furthermore, the provision of the scale members 137, 138 makes it difficult for dust to adhere to the end of the shaft 71, thereby preventing a decrease in adhesive strength.

[0076] The present invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. That is, the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims, not the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and within the scope of the meaning of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
