Curling mascara

Abstract

A curling mascara apparatus is disclosed. The curling mascara apparatus has a barrel for holding mascara liquid therein, a cover coupled to a mouth of the barrel, a makeup unit provided on an end of a support cylinder which extends inside the cover along a central axis thereof, and a button manipulating part for manipulating the makeup unit. The makeup unit includes a slide bar which is slidably inserted into the support cylinder and operated in conjunction with the button manipulating part, a lower tong which is integrally provided at an end of the slide bar, an upper tong which is hinged at an end thereof to the lower tong so as to perform a clamping operation, and an elastic member which provides elastic force such that the lower and upper tongs are rotated around a hinge axis to be opened.

1 . A curling mascara apparatus, having a barrel for holding mascara liquid therein, a cover coupled to a mouth of the barrel, a makeup unit provided on an end of a support cylinder which extends inside the cover along a central axis thereof, and a button manipulating part for manipulating the makeup unit, wherein the makeup unit comprises:
 a slide bar slidably inserted into the support cylinder and operated in conjunction with the button manipulating part;   a lower tong integrally provided at an end of the slide bar;   an upper tong hinged at an end thereof to the lower tong so as to perform a clamping operation; and   an elastic member for providing elastic force such that the lower and upper tongs are rotated around a hinge axis to be opened.   
   
   
       2 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the lower tong comprises:
 a pressurizing base part having a V-shaped groove;   a shaft coupling guide groove extending from an inside end of the pressurizing base part; and   an elastic-member mounting hole formed in a bottom of the pressurizing base part in such a way as to be located in front of the shaft coupling guide groove.   
   
   
       3 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein combs having a plurality of teeth are provided on both inclined surfaces on an inner portion of the pressurizing base part. 
   
   
       4 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein an elastic pad is provided in the bottom of the pressurizing base part. 
   
   
       5 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein an inner surface of the shaft coupling guide groove which is adjacent to the slide bar comprises an inclined surface. 
   
   
       6 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein a pinhole is formed to pass transversely through a center of the shaft coupling guide groove. 
   
   
       7 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper tong comprises:
 a pressure wing for linearly pressurizing the bottom of the pressurizing base part of the lower tong;   a shaft coupling plate extending from an end of the pressure wing, and engaged with the shaft coupling guide groove of the lower tong; and   an elastic-member mounting hole formed in the pressure wing in such a way as to be located in front of the shaft coupling plate.   
   
   
       8 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein combs having a plurality of teeth are provided on both inclined surfaces on an outer portion of the pressure wing. 
   
   
       9 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein an outer surface of the shaft coupling plate which is adjacent to the slide bar comprises an inclined surface. 
   
   
       10 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein a pinhole is formed to pass transversely through a center of the shaft coupling plate. 
   
   
       11 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein a cross section of the pressure wing has an acute angle of 45° or less. 
   
   
       12 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the V-shaped groove of the pressurizing base part makes an angle from 45° to 180°. 
   
   
       13 . The curling mascara apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the lower and upper tongs is formed to be bent at a predetermined curvature.
