The present disclosure relates to a facial mask kit, and more particularly, a facial mask kit that can stably keep a skincare agent absorbed in facial mask sheets for beauty and provide an enhanced skincare function when the skincare agent is used.
The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
Facial mask sheets for skin beauty etc. are formed by soaking sheets designed and cut to be fitted to faces with a skincare agent and are usually packed in a pouch for sale on the market after being soaked with a skin care agent. Accordingly, users use the facial masks by opening a pouch, taking out a facial mask soaked with a skincare agent, and the putting the facial mask on their faces.
However, there are the following issues when using facial masks.
First, an excessive amount of skincare agent is applied to a sheet in a process of sufficiently soaking the sheet with the skincare agent when a product is manufactured, so when a user opens a pouch, the skincare agent flows down from the sheet, thereby causing inconvenience.
Second, facial masks are generally used for various purposes such as supplying nutrients, supplementing moisture, and stabilizing skin, and the components of skincare agents are changed in accordance with the purposes. However, when several components are mixed and time passes, the components generate a reaction, so the effective components may be disrupted or deteriorated.
There is Korean Patent No. 1176723 (“Cosmetic pack,” Aug. 17, 2012, hereafter, referred to as “prior art document”) for solving the first one of the issues in the related art. According to the prior art document, a space of a facial mask pouch is divided into two sections by a breakable membrane so that a sheet is kept in one of the sections and a skincare agent is kept in the other section. Further, when a user presses the space keeping the skincare agent, the breakable membrane is ruptured and the sheet is soaked with the skincare agent. Accordingly, the amount of skincare agent to soak the sheet can be adjusted in accordance with the pressing degree by the user. However, according to the prior art document, after the breakable membrane between the skincare agent space and the sheet space is ruptured, the skincare agent flows out of the skincare agent space without stopping, so even though the user does not press the skincare agent space, the skincare agent keeps naturally flowing out, and accordingly, the sheet is soaked with an excessive amount of skincare agent. Further, the prior art document does not consider a measure for solving the second issue.
Further, as for the second issue, that is, the issue that when a plurality of skincare agents are used, the effects are deteriorated due to reaction of the components of the skincare agents, so currently, all manufacturers attempt to solve the issue by separately manufacturing products for each component. Accordingly, customers have to purchase several products and separately used the products, depending on the desired skincare functions, so economical and time waste is increased.
Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a facial mask kit that can increase convenience in use of a facial mask and reduce waste of a skincare agent by uniformly soaking a facial mask sheet with an appropriate amount of skincare agent. Furthermore, the present disclosure provides a facial mask kit that can enhance the effects of the components of a plurality of skincare agents by soaking a sheet with the skincare agents immediately before using sheet.
The facial mask kit includes a pouch having a sheet space for keeping a sheet therein, an injector including a cylinder having an outlet at a first side and keeping a first skincare agent therein and a piston inserted in the cylinder from a second side of the cylinder. An injection port is disposed on a first side of the pouch to connect an inside and outside of the sheet space, in which the skincare agent is injected into the sheet space through the injection port by the injector to uniformly soak the sheet.
The injector may include a first cylinder, a second cylinder inserted in the first cylinder, and a piston inserted in the second cylinder. A first skincare agent may be kept in a space between the first cylinder and the second cylinder, and a second skincare agent may be kept in a space between the second cylinder and the piston.
The first cylinder may have: a first body having a first space therein and having a first side and a second side communicating with each other; an outlet formed at a first end of the first body; a first flange formed at a second end of the first body; and a first locking portion protruding in a ring shape from an inner side of the first body. The first locking portion may be formed in a pair of ring shapes protruding from the inner side of the first body and positioned close to each other.
The second cylinder may have: a second body having a second space therein, having a first side and a second side communicating each other, and inserted in the first body; an outlet formed at a first end of the second body and having a larger diameter at an end than a diameter of the second body; a second flange formed at a second end of the second body; a breakable membrane formed like a separation membrane closing the outlet; and at least one second locking portion protruding in a ring shape from an inner side of the second body. The second locking portion may be formed in a pair of ring shapes protruding from the inner side of the second body and positioned close to each other.
The piston may have: a piston body inserted in the second body; a breaking portion formed at a first end of the piston body and pointed at an end thereof; a piston flange formed at a second end of the piston body; and at least one piston locking portion protruding in a ring shape from an outer side of the piston body. The piston body may have a space connecting a first side and second side of the piston body and may have a closing wall formed like a separation wall to close the space at a position closer to the first side of the piston body.
The injection port may have: an injection port body having an empty space therein and having a first side and a second side communicating with other; an injection port flange formed at a first end of the injection port body and attached and fixed to the first side of the pouch; a muzzle formed at a second end of the injection port body; and a cap disposed over the muzzle to be opened and closed.
The injection port body may be inclined with respect to a surface of the pouch. In the facial mask kit, the sheet may be positioned closer to the bottom in the sheet space and the injection port may be positioned closer to the top in the sheet space. The injection port body may be declined downward.
The pouch may further have an injector space separated from the sheet space. The pouch may be formed by stacking a pair of packaging materials and then thermally bonding edges to form the sheet space. The injector space separated from the sheet space of the pouch may be formed by further thermally bonding centers of the pair of packaging materials with the edges thermally bonded.
A perforated crease may be formed at the bonded portion between the sheet space and the injector space.
A pair of notched opening portions may be formed at left and right ends of an upper portion of the pouch.
In the pouch, a packaging material for the sheet space is opaque, and a packaging material for the injector space is transparent at least on one side.
The injector may have an injector cap sealing the outlet. The injector cap may be thread-fastened to the outlet. The injector cap may have wings to be turned when being thread-fastened to the outlet.
According to the present disclosure, there is provided a facial mask that is soaked with a skincare agent and attached to the face to improve the status of the skin. A pouch keeping a sheet and an injector keeping a skincare agent are separately provided, so a user can appropriately adjust the amount of a skincare agent to be applied to a sheet as the user wants. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate inconvenience for a user due to the phenomenon that a sheet is soaked with an excessive amount skincare agent and the skincare agent flows down from the sheet. Further, according to the present disclosure, when a skincare agent is injected, the skincare agent spreads around the center portion of a sheet, so the skincare agent is uniformly distributed in the sheet. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively inhibit a skincare agent from flowing down and apply the function of the skincare agent uniformly to the entire skin. In addition, it is possible to inhibit an excessive amount of skincare agent from being provided for one facial mask, so manufactures can reduce the manufacturing cost and customers can obtain an economical effect through a reduced product price.
Further, according to the present disclosure, there is a remarkable effect that it is possible to use a plurality of skincare agents having different components. In detail, in the related art, when skincare agents are mixed, the components are mixed and the functions are deteriorated or the effective components are disrupted or deteriorated by reaction of the components. However, according to the present disclosure, since two or more components are separately kept in the injector, it is possible to inhibit mixing and deterioration of the components when keeping them. Further, a sheet is soaked with a plurality of skincare agents having different components immediately before being used, so the components can be applied to the skin before reaction of the components occurs, and accordingly, it is possible to enhance the effects of the skincare agents. In addition, according to the present disclosure, since it is possible to simultaneously use a plurality of components, a user can reduce economical and time waste that is caused by separately purchasing a plurality of facial masks and use them for a long time. Manufacturers can also change the contents of a product by changing the components to be kept in the injector, so no separate manufacturing line for each component is involved and the cost for facilities can be remarkably reduced.
Further areas of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. It should be understood that the description and specific examples are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
In order that the disclosure may be well understood, there will now be described various forms thereof, given by way of example, reference being made to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The drawings described herein are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure in any way.
The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses. It should be understood that throughout the drawings, corresponding reference numerals indicate like or corresponding parts and features.
A sheet space 110 is formed in the pouch 100 and a sheet 400 is stored in the sheet space 110. As described above, the present disclosure addresses the issue in the related art that an excessive amount of skincare agent is absorbed in a sheet, thereby causing inconvenience, and to enable a user to soak a sheet with an appropriate amount of skincare agent, as the user wants. Accordingly, the sheet 400 is kept without a skincare agent absorbed therein in the sheet space 110.
The injector 200, which is similar to a syringe carrying a skincare agent therein, includes a cylinder having an outlet at a first side and a piston inserted in a second side of the cylinder. Similar to a common syringe, when a user pushes the piston into the cylinder, the skincare agent in the cylinder is discharged through the outlet. The detailed shape of the injector 200 will be described in detail below.
The injection port 300 is formed on a first surface of the pouch 100 and connects the inside and outside of the sheet space 110 to each other. A cap that can cover/open the injection port 300 is provided for the injection port 300. The cap is closed at normal times and a user opens the cap when injecting a skincare agent, using the injector 200.
According to the facial mask kit 1000 having this configuration of the present disclosure, a skincare agent is injected into the sheet space 110 through the injection port 300 by the injector 200 and permeated into the sheet 400, whereby the sheet 400 is soaked with the skincare agent. That is, the sheet 400 is in a dried state before a skincare agent is injected by the injector 300 and a user can inject a desired appropriate amount of skincare agent, using the syringe-shaped injector 200. Accordingly, the sheet 400 is not soaked with an excessive amount of skincare agent and the skincare agent does not flow down when in use, thereby reducing inconvenience.
The detailed configuration of the pouch 100 and the injection port 300 for smoothly and uniformly distributing a skincare agent into sheet 300 is described in detail with reference to
Further, according to the facial mask kit 1000, as shown in
According to the configuration of the present disclosure, it is possible to separately keep a sheet 400 and a skincare agent and the user can smoothly and uniformly soak the sheet 400 with the skincare agent by adjusting the amount of the skincare to be injected at a desired level. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the issue of excessively soaking the sheet with a skincare agent and thereby inhibiting the skincare agent from flowing down while in use.
Referring to
The injector 200 was described as being formed similar to a syringe. Common syringes have one space therein, so they can keep only one kind of skincare agent. An injector 200 according to one form of the present disclosure shown in
The configuration of the injector 200 is described in more detail.
The injector 200, as shown in
First, the first cylinder 210 is described. As show in
The first body 211 is formed in a tube shape that can keep liquid, similar to the cylinder of a common syringe, that is, the first body 211 has a first space 211s therein and has first and second sides communicating each other. When the injector 200 is assembled by combining the components, a first skincare agent is kept in the first space 211s.
The outlet 213 is formed at a first end of the first body 211 and the flange 212 is formed at a second end of the first body 211. Similar to a common syringe, the outlet 213 is formed with a diameter very smaller than that of the first body 211 so that fluid is not easily discharged unless pressure is applied to the first space 211s. Further, similar to a common syringe, the first flange 212 functions as a support that supports the hand of a user pressing the first cylinder 210.
As described above, liquid is not easily discharged through the outlet 213 unless pressure is applied to the first space 211s, but if the injector is stored for a long period of time with the outlet 213 open, a very small amount of air comes in contact with the first skincare agent in the first space 211s, so there is a possibility of deterioration or disruption of the first skincare agent. Further, there is a possibility that pressure is instantaneously applied to the first space by unexpected external force and the liquid is discharged through the outlet 213. In order to inhibit these issues, as shown in
The injector cap 230 may be thread-fastened to the outlet 213, as shown in
The part that pressurizes the first space 211s to discharge the first skincare agent is, as shown in
The first locking portion 215 is provided as the measure. The first locking portion 215 is formed in a ring shape protruding from the inner side of the first body 211 and fixes the position of the second cylinder 220 so that the second cylinder 215 is not inserted deeper. Obviously, if pressure over a critical level is applied, the second cylinder 220 may be inserted deeper beyond the first locking portion 215 and the first skincare agent in the first space 211s may be naturally discharged through the outlet 213. However, when pressure under the critical level is applied, the second cylinder 220 is locked to the first locking portion 215 and fixed at the position, so it is possible to effectively inhibit the first skincare agent from being unnecessarily discharged.
The locking portion 215 is provided, as described above, to fix the position of the second cylinder 220 so that the second cylinder 220 is inhibited from being inserted deeper than a predetermined position and unnecessarily discharging the skincare agent, so the locking portion 215 may be formed in one ring shape at the predetermined position where the second cylinder 220 has to be stopped. However, if the second cylinder 220 is moved beyond the predetermined position, the pressure in the first space 211s may drop and air may flow through the outlet 213. Therefore, the first locking portion 215 may be formed in a pair of ring shapes protruding from the inner side of the first body 211 and positioned close/proximate to each other, as shown in
Next, the second cylinder 220 is described. As show in
The second body 221, similar to the first body 211 of the first cylinder 210, has a second space 221s therein and has first and second sides communicating with each other. The second body 221 is inserted in the first body 211 to function as a piston of the first cylinder 210.
The second flange 222 is formed at the second end of the second body 221, and similar to the first flange 212, functions as a support that supports the hand of a user pressing the second cylinder 220. The second flange 222 can also limit the insertion depth of the second cylinder 220 by being locked to the first flange 212 when the second cylinder 220 is inserted at a predetermined depth in the first cylinder 210.
A second skincare agent is kept in the second space 221s. As described above, the second skincare agent can be discharged when the first and second sides of the second space 221s are opened, so the parts of the second cylinder 220 should be configured to inhibit leakage of the second skincare agent. Since the piston 230 is inserted in the second side of the second cylinder 220, as shown in
The outlet 223 is formed at the first end of the second body 221 and has a diameter larger than that of the second body 221. Accordingly, the second body 221 is not fully in contact with the inner side of the first body 211 (except for the outlet 223), but the outlet 223 is in close contact with the inner side of the first body 211, so the second side of the first space 211s, which is formed when the first body 211 and the second body 221 are combined, can be sealed. Further, the outlet 223 is formed to sharply protrude at the end, so it can be effectively locked to the first locking portion 215 on the inner side of the first body 211.
The breakable membrane 224 is a film closing the outlet 223. Accordingly, the second side of the second space 221s is sealed by the piston 230 and the first side is sealed by the breakable membrane 224, so leakage of the second skincare agent can be inhibited. Further, since the first side of the second space 221s is sealed by the breakable membrane 224, the second skincare agent in the second space 221s and the first skincare agent in the first space 211s can be stably kept therein without mixing. Further, (as described in detail below), if desired, the breakable membrane can be rupture and opened, so the second skincare agent can be discharged out of the second space 221s and consequently discharged out of the outlet 213 through the first space 211s.
The second locking portion 225, similar to the first locking portion 215, is formed in a ring shape protruding from the inner side of the second body 221, and if a user doesn't want, the second locking portion 225 fixes the position of the piston 230 so that the piston 230 is not inserted further than a predetermined position and the second skincare agent is not discharged. Similar to the first locking portion 215, the second locking portion 225 may be formed in one ring shape, or as show in
Further, the second locking portion 225 may be formed at two or more positions on the second body 221.
Finally, the piston cylinder 230 is described. As shown in
The piston body 231 is inserted in the second body 221 and functions as the piston of a common syringe. The piston body 231 may be a solid member without a space therein. However, since the second skincare agent is kept in the empty space formed by combining the second cylinder 220 and the piston 230, an additional space may be formed at a first end portion of the piston body 231 to keep the second skincare agent. To this end, the piston body 23, as shown in
The piston flange 222 is formed at a second end of the piston body 231, and similar to the first flange 212 and the second flange 222, functions as a support that supports the hand of a user pressing the piston 230. Further, the piston flange 232 can also limit the insertion depth of the piston 230 by being locked to the second flange 222 when the piston 230 is inserted at a predetermined depth in the second cylinder 220.
The breaking portion 223 is formed at a first end of the piston body 231 to correspond to the breakable membrane 224 and is pointed at the end to be able to effectively rupture the breakable membrane 224. As described above, the first side of the second space 221s is sealed by the breakable membrane 224 and the second side is sealed by the piston 230 in the second cylinder 220. When the piston 230 is pushed over a predetermined depth in the second cylinder 220, the breaking portion 233 penetrates and ruptures the breakable membrane 224, so the first side of the second space 221s is opened. Accordingly, the second skincare agent kept in the second space 221s can flow into the first space 211s, and consequently, it can be discharged through the outlet 213.
The piston locking portion 235 corresponds to the second locking portion 225 and functions similar to the end of the outlet 233 having a diameter larger than that of the second body 221. That is, the piston locking portion 235 is formed in a ring shape protruding from the outer side of the piston body 231, and if user doesn't want, it fixes the position of the piston 230 to inhibit the piston 230 from being inserted over a predetermined depth and unnecessarily rupturing the breakable membrane 224.
Further, as described above, the piston locking portion 235 corresponds to the second locking portion 225 and the second locking portion 225 may be formed at two or more positions, so the piston locking portion 235 may also be formed at two or more positions on the piston body 231.
Further, an additional configuration for more easily keeping the parts of the facial mask kit 1000 is described.
The pouch 100 may further have an injector space 120 separated from the sheet space 110, as shown in
A pair of notched opening portions 140 may be formed at the left and right ends of the upper portion of the pouch 100, so a user can easily open the pouch 100 by holding the portion over the opening portions and the tearing the pouch 100. Further, a perforated crease may be formed at the bonded portion 130 between the sheet space 110 and the injector space 120 so that the sheet space 110 and the injector space 120 can be easily separated when the injector 200 is used. According to this configuration, it is possible to inhibit the sheet space 110 from unnecessarily opening when the pouch 100 is opened to use the injector 220.
Further, the pouch 100 can be made of a common opaque material. In this case, the packaging material for the sheet space 110 may be opaque, but the packaging material for the injector space 120 may be transparent at least on one side. According to this configuration, it is a possible to visually check whether a skincare agent has leaked from the injector 200.
The present disclosure is not limited to the forms described above, may be used for various fields, and may be modified in various ways by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.
According to the present disclosure, manufacturers also can change the contents of a product by changing the components to be kept in the injector, so no separate manufacturing line for each component is involved and the cost for facilities can be remarkably reduced.
The description of the disclosure is merely exemplary in nature and, thus, variations that do not depart from the substance of the disclosure are intended to be within the scope of the disclosure. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.
