DESCRIPTION
COSMETIC TOOL FOR LASH
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a cosmetic tool for
lash, further specifically to the cosmetic tool for lash
capable of curling lash concurrently with the painting of
eyeblack.
Background Art
Conventionally, this kind of a cosmetic tool is
usually formed by an eyeblack storage container and a paint
brush fitted to the inner side of a cap of this storage
container (for example see JP2002-85149A).
Also, a conventional lush curler includes such a kind
of a lush curler in which a first lever and a second lever
are connected in the form of scissors, and a plate-like
upper clamping-pressure body is vertically fitted to the
tip part of the first lever and a lower clamping-pressure
body having an elastic body is fitted to the tip part of
the second lever (for example, see JP10-295433A).
The lush curler thus given functions to curl lush by
clamping the lush between an upper clamping-pressure body
and a lower clamping-pressure body in the state of the
lower clamping-pressure body being pushed upward by
operating the tip ends of the first and second lever like
CA 02519403 2005-09-16

scissors with fingers to close the tip ends thereof with
the front face of the upper clamping-pressure body put on
an eyelid.
Conventionally, when painting the eyeblack on a lush,
as described above, it was usually the case that with a cap
of the eyeblack storage container held with fingers, the
paint brush fitted to the inside thereof is used. When
curling the lush, it was usually the case that the lush
curler described in JP10-295433A has been used.
Conventionally, when cosmeticizing the lush, it is
necessary to curl the lush first and then paint the
eyeblack thereto. Therefore, according to the existing
tool, there has remained a problem that it takes a lot of
labor to cosmeticize the lush. In addition, when the
conventional cosmetic tool for lush is used, it is
difficult to paint the eyeblack on the inner corner of an
eye and the outer corner of an eye.
Disclosure of the Invention
In view of the above-described circumstances, the
present invention is proposed.
Accordingly, it is technical problems in the present
invention to provide a cosmetic tool for lush capable of
curling lash concurrently with painting an eyeblack on the
lash in every detail, and thereby, reducing labor for
cosmeticizing the lash.
In order to solve the problems, the present invention
CA 02519403 2005-09-16

takes several technical means as follows.
The present invention is characterized in, as shown
in Fig. l, that a pair of operation levers 2 and 3 forming
operation parts 1 at one end sides thereof for applying
fingers thereto are formed in the form of scissors/trowel
by pivotally mounting these levers 2 and 3 at a body part,
meanwhile, that the other end side 2a of one operation
lever 2 inserted into an eyeblack storage container S is
formed into a paint brush manner( claim 1).
In this case, hair 3b for painting an eyeblack 6 on
lash 7 in association with hair 2b at the other end side 2a
of the one operation lever 2 is desirably fitted to the
other end side 3a of the other operation lever 3(claim 2).
Because, according to the above aspect, it is
possible to paint evenly the eyeblack 6 on the whole part
of the lash 7, thus preventing an uneven painting.
In the present invention, preferably hair 2b is
spirally fitted to the other end side 2a of the one
operation lever 2, and hair 3b of the other operation lever
3 is positioned, so that hair end thereof is inserted into
a spiral hairless portion 2c of the one operation lever 2
(claim 3).
Because, according to the above aspect, the eyeblack
6 is granulated by the hair 3b of the other operation lever
3, thus preventing the eyeblack 6 from being painted in a
state of a large drop.
In addition, in the present invention, hair 3'b for
CA 02519403 2005-09-16
painting the eyeblack 6 on the lush 7 in association with
hair 2'b at the other end side 2'a of one operation lever
2' is spirally fitted to the other end side 3'a of the
other operation lever 3'. Hair ends of the hair 2'b and
the hair 3'b are positioned so as to be reciprocally
inserted into the spiral hairless portion. The hair 3'b is
formed in such a state that the outside hair is relatively
longer than the inside (side for painting the eyeblack in
association with the hair 2'b) hair . Preferably, hair 3'd
is fitted to the tip part 3'd of the other end side 3'a.
Because, according to the above aspect, the eyeblack
6 is easily painted on the lush 7, and in addition, the
eyeblack 6 can also be painted on short lush of the inner
corner or outer corner of the eye (claim 4).

Best Mode for carrying out the Invention
Preferable embodiments of the present invention will
be explained, in conjunction with the attached drawings.
As shown in Fig.l or the like, a pair of operation
levers 2 and 3 (2' and 3') forming operation parts l at one
end sides thereof for applying fingers thereto are formed
in the form of scissors/trowel by pivotally mounting these
levers at a body part. Here, the form of scissors/trowel
means the state of the trowel in the configuration of.
scissors to be used for trimming hair. More specifically,
in a pair of operation levers 2 and 3 (2' and 3') which, if
the one end sides thereof are opened with fingers, operate
to open the other end sides thereof, and operate, if the
one end sides thereof are closed, to close the other end
sides thereof, the form of scissors/trowel means, the
configuration in which the lush 7 is clamped between the
other end sides 2a and 3a (2'a and 3'a) thereof, when, in
conjunction with the one end sides thereof closed, the
other end sides 2a and 3a (2'a and 3'a) thereof are closed.
The indicated at 4 is a pivotally mounting pin. The
operation parts 1 are annularly formed so that fingers are
passable through there. The indicated at 5 is an eyeblack

storage container. The other end sides 2a, 2'a, and 3'a of
the operation levers 2, 2' and 3' to be inserted into the
eyeblack storage container 5 are formed in a paint brush
form.
In the case of the first embodiment of the present
invention, hair 2b at the other end side 2a of the one
operation lever 2 is spirally fitted. Also, hair 3b for
painting the eyeblack 6 on the lash 7 in association with
the hair 2b at the other end side 2a of the operation lever
2 is fitted to the other end side 3a of the other operation
lever 3. The hair 3b of the other operation lever 3 is
fitted so as to be positioned in such a state that hair end
is inserted into a spiral hairless portion 2c of the one
operation lever 2.
In the second embodiment of the present invention,
hair 2'b at the other end side 2'a of the one operation
lever 2' is spirally fitted. Also, hair 3'b is spirally
fitted to the other end side 3'a of the other operation
lever 3'. The eyeblack 6 is painted on the lush 7 by using
inside hair of the hair 3'b in association with the hair
2'b at the other end side 2'a of the one operation lever 2'
and concurrently by using the outside hair independently.
The hair 3'b of the operation lever 3' is fitted so
as to be positioned in such a state that the hair end of
the hair 3'b may be inserted into a spiral hairless portion
2'c of the operation lever 2'. Also, the hair end of the
hair 2'b of the operation lever 2' is inserted into a
CA 02519403 2005-09-16
g _
spiral hairless portion 3'c of the operation lever 3'. In
the hair 3'b of the operation lever 3', inside hair is
relatively longer than outside hair. In addition, hair 3'd
is fitted to a tip part.
Next, an example of use of a product in the present
invention will be explained.
Firstly, the first embodiment of the present
invention will be explained.
As shown in Fig.lB, a user firstly inserts the other
end side 2a of the one operation lever 2 into the eyeblack
storage container 5, and then the eyeblack 6 is painted on
the hair 2b. Next, the user pushes and opens the operation
parts 1, to open each of the other end sides 2a and 3a of
the one operation lever 2 and the other operation lever 3,
respectively. In this condition, the lush 7 is arranged
between the other end sides 2a and 3a, respectively. In
this case, the lush 7 is arranged in such a state that the
inside hair of the hair 2b of the one operation lever 2
touches on the lower side of the lush 7 (front side of the
lush when it is curled upward). Then, the operation parts
1 are closed, and the lush 7 is clamped by each of the
other end sides 2a and 3a (see Fig.4).
Thereafter, the user turns out the wrist backward,
and as shown in Fig.6, operates the operation levers so
that the other end sides 2a and 3a are turned back to the
side of an eyelid 8. In this way, the eyeblack 6 painted
on the hair 2b of the other end side 2a of the one
CA 02519403 2005-09-16
- 9 -
operation lever 2 is painted on the lower side of the lush
7 (front side of the lush 7 when it is turned back to the
side of the eyelid 8), and simultaneously the tip end of
the lush 7 is bent and curled to the side of the eyelid 8.
In this case, in this embodiment, the hair end of the hair
3b at the other end side 3a of the operation lever 3 is
inserted into the spirally hairless portion 2c of the other
end side 2a of the one operation lever 2 (see Fig. S).
Therefore, the eyeblack 6 is prevented from sticking to the
lush 7 in a state of a large drop.
Subsequently, the second embodiment of the present
invention will be explained.
Firstly, the other end side 2'a of the one operation
lever 2' and the other end side 3'a of the other operation
lever 3' are inserted into the eyeblack storage container 5,
and the eyeblack 6 is painted on the hair 2'b and the hair
3'b (not shown). At this time, the other end side 2'a of
the one operation lever 2' and the other end side 3'a of
the other operation lever 3' may be inserted into the same
eyeblack storage container 5, or may be inserted into two
separate eyeblack storage containers 5, respectively.
In the first stage, the user arranges the hair 3'b at
the other end side 3'a of the operation lever 3' at the
lower side of the lush 7 (the front side of the lush 7 when
it is curled upward), with the operation parts 1' closed.
At this time, the outside hair of the hair 3'b is pressed
against the lush and moved in this state toward the hair
CA 02519403 2005-09-16
- 10 -
end, thereby to paint the eyeblack 6 on the lush (see
Fig.9A and Fig.llA).
Next, in the second stage, the user pushes and opens
the operation parts 1', thereby also opening each of the
other end sides 2'a and 3'a of the operation lever 2' and
the opezation lever 3', respectively and the lush 7 is
arranged between each of the other end sides 2'a and 3'a.
The user also arranges the lush 7 so that the inside fair
of the hair 2'b of the operation lever 2' touches on the
lower side of the lush 7 (front side of the lush 7 when it
is curled upward). Then, operation parts 1' are closed,
and the lush 7 is clamped by each of the other end sides
2'a and 3'a (see Fig.9B).
Thereafter, the user turns out the wrist backward,
and operates the operation levers, so that the other end
sides 2'a and 3'a are turned back to the side of the eyelid
8 (see Fig.llB). Thus, the eyeblack 6 painted on the hair
2'b at the other end side 2'a of the operation lever 2' is
painted on the lower side of the lush 7 (front side of the
lush 7 when it is turned back to the side of the eyelid 8),
and also the eyeblack 6 painted on the inside hair of the
hair 3'b at the other end side 3'a of the operation lever
3' is painted on the upper side of the lush 7 (backside of
the lush 7 when it is turned back to the side of the eyelid
8). Simultaneously, the tip end of the lush 7 is bent and
curled to the side of the eyelid 8. At this time, the hair
3'b at the other end side 3'a of the other operation lever
CA 02519403 2005-09-16
- 11 -
3' is inserted into the spiral hairless portion 2'c of the
other end side 2'a of the one operation lever 2' (see
Fig.lO). Accordingly, the eyeblack 6 is prevented from
sticking to the lush 7 in a state of a large drop.
In the third stage, as shown in Fig.9C, by using the
hair 3'd fitted to the tip part 3'c of the other end side
3'a of the operation lever 3', the user paints the eyeblack
6 on the lush 7 of the inner corner and the outer corner of
an eye. The lush 7 of the inner corner and the outer
corner of the eye are the parts where painting of the
eyeblack is hardly possible with this kind of cosmetic tool
according to the conventional art, or labor is required.
However, according to the present invention, the eyeblack
can easily be painted on these parts.
With regard to the matters mentioned above, the
operation parts 1 for applying fingers thereto are not
limited to an annular shape in a case of the first and the
second embodiments of the present invention. In addition,
as shown in Fig. l2, each of the other end sides 2a (2'a)
and 3a (3'a) of the one operation lever 2 (2') and the
other operation lever 3 (3'), respectively may be formed in
a shape of a curve along the curve of the eyelid 8. In
this case, the lush 7 is easily arranged between each of
the other end sides 2a (2'a) and 3a (3'a), thereby
facilitating the painting of the eyeblack 6 and the curling
operation.

Industrial Applicability
As described above, in the embodiment 1 according to
the present invention, a pair of operation levers are
formed in the form of scissors/trowel by pivotally mounting
these levers at a body part, and the other end side of the
one operation lever to be inserted into an eyeblack storage
container is formed in a paint brush shape.
Accordingly, by using the product of the present
invention, painting of the eyeblack on lush and curling of
lush can concurrently be performed, thus reducing labor
required for cosmeticizing the lash.
In addition, in the second embodiment according to
the present invention, a pair of operation levers are
formed in the form of scissors/trowel by pivotally mounting
these levers at a body part, and the other end sides of
both operation levers are formed in a paint brush shape,
and also hair is fitted to the tip part of the other end
side of the one operation lever.
Therefore, by using the product of the present
invention, the painting of the eyeblack on the lush and the
curling of the lush can concurrently be performed, thereby
not only being able to reduce the labor required for
consmeticizing the lash, but also to paint evenly the
eyeblack on the whole parts of the lush in every detail.
Further, since the eyeblack is painted on the upper side
and the lower side of the lush, it is possible to create
impressive eyes accentuating the lush.
