BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a brush such as a hair dyeing brush used for dyeing hair, eyebrows, and the like, and a hairdressing and cosmetic brush (hereinafter referred to as “brush”) used for makeup.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, hair is dyed using dyes such as gray hair dye, various hair colors, hair manicure and the like. For such hair dyeing, various hair dyeing brushes that are devised so that the dye can be easily placed thereon are used. In addition, brushes such as teak brushes and face brushes are used when applying foundation, white powder, etc. to the face. When drawing eyebrows or blurring lines, brushes such as eyebrow brushes are used. When applying lipstick, a brush such as a lip brush is used.
[0003]
As a brush used for makeup or the like, the present applicant has previously disclosed a brush shown in Japanese Patent Application No. 11-301601. According to the brush disclosed by the present applicant, by devising how to hold the curved gripping part, the brush part can be easily moved in an arc shape along the shape of the eyebrows and lips. It is easy to use. In addition, since this brush can be placed so that the brush portion does not come into contact with the desk, it has an advantage that the desk does not have to be contaminated with a decorative material.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention relates to an improvement of the conventional brush as described above, and an object thereof is to provide a brush that can easily change the way of holding a gripping portion formed in a curved shape.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a brush in which a brush part in which hair is bundled is attached to the tip of a rod-like gripping part, the gripping part being curved, and in the middle of the gripping part. A rotation holding portion having substantially the same thickness and width is formed. In this brush, the grip portion may have a flat cross-sectional shape except for the rotation holding portion. In addition, a constriction may be formed in the grip portion at a predetermined interval.
[0006]
The brush of the present invention is embodied as, for example, a hair dyeing brush used for dyeing hair or eyebrows, a hairdressing cosmetic brush used for makeup, and the like. In the brush of the present invention, since the grip portion is curved, the brush can be placed on the desk in a state where the brush portion is separated upward from the surface of the desk. In addition, since the gripping portion is curved, there is no worry of rolling when the brush is placed on a desk or the like, and there is no problem that the brush falls from the desk.
[0007]
Also, when dyeing hair with a brush, the gripping part is curved, so rotating the gripping part changes the angle of the brush part at the tip of the gripping part so that the brush part can be raised or laid down. It is possible to For this reason, for example, when applying dye to hair at the hairline etc., stand the brush part and apply dye at the tip of the brush part, or conversely, when applying dye to hair at other parts of the hairline, lay down the brush part. It can be used properly by applying dye on the belly of the brush.
[0008]
Also, when you draw eyebrows with your brush or apply cosmetics such as lipstick on your face, rotate the gripping part that is gripping so that the gripping part is curved, so the brush part at the tip of the gripping part An arc is drawn. For this reason, there is an advantage that the brush part can be easily moved along the shape of the eyebrows and lips forming an arc shape, and makeup is easy. The curved gripping part is easy to apply along the face, which is a spherical body, and when applying blusher, apply a line to paint blusher or draw eyebrows by applying the gripping part to the face. Easy to check.
[0009]
In such a case, in the brush of the present invention, a rotation holding portion having substantially the same thickness and width is formed in the middle of the gripping portion. It is possible to rotate the brush easily by moving back and forth relatively. For this reason, when performing hair dyeing, the grip part can be rotated with a fingertip to change the angle of the brush part, and the brush part can be easily laid or laid. In addition, when applying the cosmetic material to the face, the brush part can be easily moved along the shape of the eyebrows or lips by rotating the grip part with the fingertip.
[0010]
If the gripping part has a flat cross-sectional shape, the contact area between the desk surface and the gripping part when the brush is placed on the desk with the brush part spaced upward from the desk surface. Will increase so that the brush can be placed stably. In addition, when the cross-sectional shape of the gripping portion is flat as described above, the orientation of the brush portion can be known with the sense of a fingertip when the brush is held by hand. For this reason, in the case of a flat brush, it is not necessary to visually confirm the orientation of the brush portion. The gripping portion may be flat in a direction orthogonal to the radius direction of the curve, for example, may be flat in a direction coinciding with the radius direction of the curve, for example, 45 ° with respect to the radius direction of the curve. It may be flat in the forming direction. In this case, for example, a brush part may be attached to the tip of the grip part via a universal joint or the like, and the angle between the grip part and the brush part may be configured to be variable.
[0011]
In addition, if the grip portion is formed with a constriction at a predetermined interval, it becomes difficult to slip when the grip portion is gripped, and there is less concern about accidentally dropping the brush by sliding the hand. In addition, when the gripping part is applied to the face, the length of the face and the positions of the eyes, nose, mouth, cheekbones and the like can be confirmed based on the constriction.
[0012]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a brush 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The brush 1 is, for example, a hair dyeing brush used for dyeing hair or eyebrows, a hairdressing / beauty brush used for makeup, and the like. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along lines AA and BB in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in FIG.
[0013]
In the illustrated example, a brush portion 11 in which a large number of hairs are bundled by means such as flocking is attached to the tip of the grip portion 10. The grip portion 10 has a rod shape but is curved as a whole. In this example, the grip portion 10 has a shape curved with a curvature that is substantially the same as that of a human face. As shown in FIG. 2, the gripping part 10 has a flat cross-sectional shape in a direction S perpendicular to the radial direction R of the curvature, except for the rotation holding part 12 described below.
[0014]
In the middle of the grip portion 10, a rotation holding portion 12 having a narrower width than that of the other portion of the grip portion 10 (portion formed in a flat cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 2) is formed. As shown in FIG. 3, the rotational holding portion 12 has a cross-sectional shape in which the thickness T and the width L are substantially equal, and in the illustrated example, a cross-sectional shape in which a corner portion of a substantially square is formed into a smooth curved surface. have.
[0015]
In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear end side of the gripping portion 10 has a tapered shape so as to become thinner toward the rear end side (opposite side of the brush portion 11) of the gripping portion 10. In addition, an annular constriction 13 is formed at a plurality of locations at predetermined intervals in the grip portion 10.
[0016]
When the brush 1 is a hair dyeing brush used when, for example, hair or eyebrows are dyed, the brush unit 11 has a lot of elastic hair made of resin or plastic suitable for applying the dye to the hair. It is made up of bundles. On the other hand, when the brush 1 is a hairdressing and beauty brush used for makeup or the like, the brush 1 is configured by bundling a large number of hairs such as flexible animals suitable for applying a makeup material such as a foundation to the face.
[0017]
In the illustrated example, the brush portion 11 is formed in a flat brush shape with a flat cross-sectional shape. The flattening direction S ′ of the cross section of the brush part 11 is also orthogonal to the radial direction R of the curve, similarly to the flattening direction S of the cross section of the gripping part 10 described above. 'And the flat direction S of the cross section of the gripping part 10 are in the same direction (parallel).
[0018]
In the brush 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, since the grip portion 10 is curved, the tip brush portion 11 is removed from the surface of the desk 15 as shown in FIG. The brush 1 can be placed on the desk 15 while being separated upward. For this reason, even if a dye or a makeup material such as a foundation that dyes hair is attached to the brush portion 11, the brush portion 11 does not directly touch the surface of the desk 15, so there is no concern about the dye or the makeup material. There is an advantage that the surface is not soiled. Further, as described above with reference to FIG. 2, the gripping portion 10 has a flat cross-sectional shape in the direction S perpendicular to the radius direction R of the curvature (radial direction R is shown in FIG. 2) except for the rotation holding portion 12. Therefore, when the brush 1 is placed on the desk 15 as shown in FIG. 4, the contact area between the surface of the desk 15 and the grip portion 10 is large, so that the brush 1 can be placed stably. it can. Moreover, there is no worry that the brush 1 placed on the desk 15 rolls.
[0019]
When the brush 1 is a hair dyeing brush, for example, when dyeing hair or eyebrows, the gripping portion 10 is curved. Therefore, when the gripping portion 10 being gripped is rotated, the gripping portion 10 The angle of the brush part 11 attached to the tip changes, and the brush part 11 can be erected or laid down. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, in the case where a dye is applied to the hairline of the hair 20, by holding the grip portion 10 with the hand 21 from the inside of the curve, the brush 1 is held with the brush portion 11 in an upright posture, It is convenient to apply a dye to the hair 20 at the tip of the brush part 11.
[0020]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, when dye is applied to the hair 20 in a portion other than the hairline, the brush 1 is held in a posture in which the brush portion 11 is laid by holding the grip portion 10 with the hand 21 from the outside of the curve, It is convenient to apply a dye to the hair 20 at the belly portion of the brush portion 11. In this way, when holding the grip portion 10, by changing the direction of the curve, the posture of the brush portion 11 can be set up or laid down to be used properly.
[0021]
Further, when the direction of bending of the gripping portion 10 is changed in this way, in the illustrated brush 1, the rotation holding portion 12 having substantially the same thickness and width is formed in the middle of the gripping portion 10. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the rotation holding unit 12 is held from both sides so as to be picked by the thumb 21a and the index finger 21b, and the picked fingers 21a and 21b are moved relatively back and forth (moved so as to rub the fingers 21a and 21b). The brush 1 can be easily rotated. Thus, by rotating the gripping part 10 with the fingertips of the thumb 21a and the index finger 21b or the like, the angle of the brush part 11 can be easily changed and the brush part 11 can be laid or laid down.
[0022]
When the brush 1 is a hairdressing and beauty brush, when drawing eyebrows or applying cosmetics such as lipstick on the face, a cosmetic material such as foundation, white powder, blusher, or lipstick is attached to the brush part 11, and the gripping part By holding 10 with the hand 21 and operating it, the cosmetic material attached to the brush part 11 can be applied to the face. For example, when drawing eyebrows or applying a cosmetic material such as lipstick on the face, the gripping part 10 held by the hand 21 is operated to rotate with the fingertip as shown in FIG. In this case, similarly to the case described above with reference to FIG. 7, the grip portion 10 may be rotated by the fingertip having the rotation holding portion 12. When the gripping part 10 is rotated in this way, the gripping part 10 is curved, so that the brush part 11 at the tip of the gripping part 10 draws an arc. If the gripping part 10 is rotated with the fingertip in this way, the brush part 11 can be easily moved along the shape of the eyebrows, lips and the like that are arcuate, and there is an advantage that makeup is easy. Further, when the grip portion 10 is rotated in this manner to move the brush portion 11 in an arc shape, the brush portion 11 can be made to have a small radius if the grip portion 10 is rotated by holding the tip end side (side closer to the brush portion 11). Can be moved in a circular arc shape, and conversely, if the holding portion 10 is rotated while holding the proximal end side (opposite the brush portion 11), the brush portion 11 can be moved in an arc shape with a large radius. It becomes like this. In this case, for example, the curvature of the gripping portion 10 is made smaller on the distal end side (side closer to the brush portion 11) and larger on the proximal end side (opposite side of the brush portion 11). It may be changed on the proximal side. Also, by changing the position and way of holding the gripping part 10 by hand, the hand 21 can be moved away from the face when applying cosmetics on the face, and the hand 21 does not touch the face and is applied to the face. It becomes possible to prevent the decorative material from adhering to the hand 21.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 9, the gripping portion 10 formed in a curved shape is easy to be applied along the face 17 which is a spherical body, and when applying blusher or the like, the gripping portion 10 is applied to the face 17 by applying it. It is easy to check the line to paint blusher. Similarly, a line for drawing eyebrows can be easily confirmed.
[0024]
When applying the cosmetic material to the face 17, as described above with reference to FIG. 1, the flat direction S ′ of the cross section of the brush portion 11 and the flat direction S of the cross section of the grip portion 10 are the same direction (parallel). Therefore, it is possible to know the orientation of the brush part 11 with the sensation of the fingertip holding the grip part 10. For this reason, it is possible to grasp the orientation of the flat brush-like brush portion 11 as shown in the example with the sense of a fingertip without bothering to confirm with eyes.
[0025]
In addition, in this brush 1, since the holding part 10 is formed with a rotation holding part 12 and a plurality of constrictions 13, when gripping the holding part 10, they are caught and are difficult to slip, There is little worry about dropping the brush 1 carelessly.
[0026]
FIG. 10 is a side view of the brush 1 in a state of being inserted into the cup 26 in which the dye 25 is placed. In the brush 1 according to this embodiment, the constriction 13 formed in the gripping portion 10 is caught on the edge of the cup 26 and is not easily slipped when inserted into the cup 26, so that the brush 1 falls out of the cup 26. It has the feature of being difficult. For this reason, the situation where the brush 1 falls in the cup 26 carelessly and the dye 25 adheres to the holding part 10 can be avoided.
[0027]
As mentioned above, although preferable embodiment of this invention was illustrated, this invention is not limited to the form demonstrated above. For example, in the brush 1 according to the illustrated embodiment, the integrated configuration in which the brush portion 11 is directly attached to the tip of the grip portion 10 has been described. However, the brush portion 11 is fastened to the tip of the grip portion 10 with a fastener or the like. A configuration that is used and mounted is also possible. Further, the gripping part 10 may be flat in a direction that coincides with the radius direction R of the curve, for example, or may be flat in a direction that forms 45 ° with the radius direction R of the curve, for example. In this case, for example, the brush portion 11 may be attached to the tip of the grip portion 10 via a universal joint or the like, and the angle between the grip portion 10 and the brush portion 11 may be configured to be variable. In addition, the brush of the present invention is used for applying a foundation, white powder, etc. to a cheek brush or face brush used for painting eyebrows or blurring lines, and for applying lipstick. It can also be applied to various hairdressing and cosmetic brushes, such as lip brushes and hair dye brushes used to apply hair dies to hair.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, even when the brush is placed on a desk or the like, there is no worry that the desk is soiled with a cosmetic material or the like, and the problem that the brush falls from the desk does not occur. In addition, by holding the gripping part, it is possible to change the angle of the brush part and use the brush part by standing or lying down. Further, the brush portion can be easily moved in an arc shape along the shape of the eyebrows and lips, so that makeup is easy. In addition, the curved gripping part is easy to apply along the face, and it is easy to check blusher and eyebrow lines. And how to hold a holding part can be easily performed by picking the rotation holding part formed in the middle of the holding part with a finger from both sides, and moving a finger back and forth.
[0029]
If the gripping part has a flat cross-sectional shape, the brush can be placed more stably on the desk. If the cross-sectional shape of the grip portion is flat, the orientation of the brush portion can be known with the sense of a fingertip when the brush is held by hand.
[0030]
In addition, if the constriction is formed in the gripping portion, it becomes difficult to slip when the gripping portion is gripped, and there is less fear of slipping the hand and inadvertently dropping the brush. When the gripping part is placed on the face, the length of the face and the positions of eyes, nose, mouth, cheekbones, etc. can be confirmed based on the constriction.
