Artificial eyelash and method of manufacturing the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to artificial eyelashes and a method of manufacturing the same, and the artificial eyelashes include: a column member which extends in a direction of a central axis by a predetermined length; a tape which has a first surface which is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the column member in a circumferential direction of the column member in a state in which the first surface is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the column member, and a second surface which is opposite to the first surface; and a plurality of yarns each of which has a fixed end which is separably attached to the second surface of the tape, and a free end which extends from the fixed end.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Artificial eyelashes comprising:
 a column member which extends in a direction of a central axis by a predetermined length;   a tape which has a first surface which is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the column member in a circumferential direction of the column member in a state in which the first surface is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the column member, and a second surface which is opposite to the first surface; and   a plurality of yarns each of which has a fixed end which is separably attached to the second surface of the tape, and a free end which extends from the fixed end.   
     
     
         2 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein the tape is helically attached in the circumferential direction of the column member. 
     
     
         3 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein an interval between the free ends of two adjacent yarns is greater than an interval between the fixed ends. 
     
     
         4 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein the fixed ends of the plurality of adjacent yarns are attached by a separate adhesive so as to be integrally separated from the tape. 
     
     
         5 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein the free ends of the plurality of adjacent yarns are attached by a separate adhesive so as to be integrally separated from the tape. 
     
     
         6 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein the yarn is curled so as to become far away from the column member in a direction from the fixed end to the free end. 
     
     
         7 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein a cross section of the column member, which is orthogonal to the central axis, is circular, elliptical, or polygonal. 
     
     
         8 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein the tape is attached to a partial region of the column member in the direction of the central axis, and the tape is not attached to the remaining region. 
     
     
         9 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 8 , wherein the column member is divided, in the direction of the central axis, into a first region to which the tape is attached, and a second region to which the tape is not attached, and a diameter of the second region is smaller than a diameter of the first region. 
     
     
         10 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 2 , wherein a guide member, which helically protrudes in the circumferential direction of the column member, is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the column member. 
     
     
         11 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 10 , wherein the guide member is formed continuously or intermittently in a helical direction. 
     
     
         12 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein a ring member, which has an enlarged diameter, is provided on at least one end portion of the column member in the direction of the central axis. 
     
     
         13 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein at least two yarns have different lengths. 
     
     
         14 . The artificial eyelashes of  claim 1 , wherein at least two yarns have different colors. 
     
     
         15 . A method of manufacturing artificial eyelashes, comprising:
 (a) preparing a tape which has a first surface, and a second surface which is opposite to the first surface, in which a plurality of yarns is separably attached to the second surface; and   (b) attaching the first surface of the tape to an outer circumferential surface of the column member in a circumferential direction of the column member in a state in which the first surface of the tape is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the central axis of the column member.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein in step (b), the tape is helically attached in the circumferential direction of the column member. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of yarns has a fixed end which is attached to the second surface of the tape, and a free end which extends from the fixed end, and in step (a), the fixed ends of the plurality of adjacent yarns are attached by a separate adhesive so that the corresponding yarns are integrally separated from the tape. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein each of the plurality of yarns has a fixed end which is attached to the second surface of the tape, and a free end which extends from the fixed end, and in step (a), the free ends of the plurality of adjacent yarns are attached by a separate adhesive so that the corresponding yarns are integrally separated from the tape.
