A cosmetic product includes a mascara composition and a treatment device, whereby the mascara composition is applied to the eyelashes by softening the mascara composition via heat. The mascara composition is solid at room temperature, however is softened at elevated temperature, so it may be applied to the eyelashes. The treatment device includes an applicator for receiving, heating to soften, and applying the softened mascara composition to the eyelashes. Once the softened mascara composition is applied to the eyelashes, the mascara composition is quickly cooled and thus solidified by the atmosphere. The mascara composition thus applied to the eyelashes provides a firm film covering the eyelashes, which is not softened at body temperature, and thus provides enhanced wearability. A cap detachable to the applicator is provided with a loading mechanism for delivering pieces of the mascara composition one by one to the applicator.

An electrostatic spraying device has a removable cartridge with a reservoir containing a volume of liquid compositions to be electrically sprayed. The device includes a nozzle for dispensing the liquid and an emitter electrode disposed adjacent to the nozzle for charging the liquid composition just being dispensed from the nozzle. A field electrode surrounds the reservoir in order to charge the liquid composition within the reservoir, thereby avoiding an occurrence of electric current which would deteriorate the composition remaining in the reservoir. The reservoir is at least partially made of deformable material such that the reservoir is capable of receiving pressure to deform and thus supply the liquid composition out of the reservoir. Thus, the reservoir can be designed into a simple and compact structure, thereby providing an increased liquid containing volume in relation to the bulk of the removable cartridge.

Electrostatic spraying device

An electrostatic spraying device having a removable cartridge with a reservoir containing a volume of liquid compositions to be electrically sprayed on a user's skin. The device includes a nozzle for dispensing the liquid as well as an emitter electrode disposed adjacent to the nozzle for charging the liquid composition just being dispensed from the nozzle. A field electrode surrounds the reservoir in order to charge the liquid composition within the reservoir, thereby avoiding an occurrence of electric current which would otherwise flow in the liquid composition and would deteriorate the composition remaining in the reservoir. The reservoir is devoid of the field electrode, and therefor can be designed into a simple and compact structure without being restricted by the field electrode, assuring to have an enhanced liquid containing volume in relation to the bulk of the removable cartridge.

An electrostatic spraying device has a capability of confirming that the device is ready for making an electrostatic spraying of the liquid composition on a user's skin. The device includes a nozzle and a pump for dispensing the liquid composition out through the nozzle. An emitter electrode is disposed to electrostatically charge the liquid composition being dispensed for making the electrostatic spraying. The device is provided with a power switch and a selector for selection between a spraying mode and a dripping mode. In the dripping mode, the pump is alone actuated to dispense the liquid composition absent electrostatic charge. In the spraying mode, both of the pump and the emitter electrode are activated to make the electrostatic spraying. Thus, the user can be easy to drip the liquid composition by simply manipulating the selector prior to initiating the electrostatic spraying.

Toner cartridge

An electrostatic spraying device has a removable cartridge with a reservoir containing a volume of liquid compositions to be electrically sprayed. The reservoir is deformable according to inner pressure and configured to provide a removable cartridge. The device includes a dispensing unit for spraying the liquid composition. The dispensing unit includes a nozzle for dispensing the liquid composition and an emitter electrode which charges the liquid composition for electrostatically spraying the liquid composition out through the nozzle. A suction pump is integrated into the dispensing unit in an immediately upstream relation with the reservoir for feeding the liquid composition from the reservoir to the nozzle. Thus, the suction pump can be concentrated together with the emitter electrode and the nozzle into the dispensing unit on one end of the reservoir, enabling to realize the cartridge of a compact design.

A method and device for curling eyelashes in several bunches includes a positioning frame, a pressing frame mounted opposing the positioning frame and configured to move relative to the positioning frame, the pressing frame having an elastic surface, and an operating handle configured to move the elastic surface of the pressing frame in and out of contact with the positioning frame and to thereby curl eyelashes positioned between the positioning frame and elastic surface. A combing member divides the eyelashes into multiple bunches prior to curling the eyelashes. The pressing frame may be configured to curl a lash line region or a middle region of the eyelashes, or an auxiliary pressing frame can be included so that the device curls both the lash line and middle region of the lashes.

A depilating device including a housing, a depilation head detachably attached to the housing and including a hair removing device configured to remove hairs, a driving unit provided in the housing and configured to drive the hair removing device, and at least one overload clutch provided in the housing to transmit driving output by the driving unit to the hair removing device and configured to interrupt transmission of the driving when a torque required to operate the hair removing device is beyond a predetermined value.

Depilating device

An eyelash curler that can selectively perform all-eyelashes curling and localized eyelashes curling is disclosed. The eyelash curler includes a curler main body, an immobilizing member attached to a top of the curler main body for immobilizing eyelashes, a plurality of first sandwiching-holding members attached to the curler main body underneath the immobilizing member and adapted to sandwich the eyelashes against the immobilizing member, and an operating handle attached to the curler main body for causing the plurality of first sandwiching-holding members to sandwich the eyelashes against the immobilizing member. By selecting a operation mode by a mode-switching switch, each of the plurality of first sandwiching-holding members can be independently pressed against and released from the immobilizing member so that a user can easily perform localized curling of the eyelashes.

Eyelash curler

An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a driving unit for transmitting a driving force to the image carrier via a driving spline, and a plurality of members to be driven for driving the driving force transmitted from the driving unit via the image carrier. A shaft is disposed coaxially with a rotation shaft of the image carrier in one end of the image carrier. An involute spline-shaped follower spline to which the driving force is transmitted from the driving unit via the driving spline is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the flange, and a driving force transmitter for transmitting the driving force to at least one of the member to be driven is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the flange.
