An example will be described.

<First embodiment: Cosmetic applicator>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cosmetic applicator according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the cosmetic applicator 100 has a nonwoven fabric 1 and a support 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the nonwoven fabric 1 is made of, for example, a soft sheet, and includes a soaking area 11 soaked with a liquid foundation, and non-soaking areas 12 on both sides of the soaking area 11, for example.

  In addition, the nonwoven fabric 1 may have the non-penetrating area | region 12 only in the one side of the saturating area | region 11, and the liquid foundation may be infiltrated with the whole surface. The nonwoven fabric 1 may be preliminarily impregnated with the liquid foundation, or the liquid foundation may be impregnated after the non-woven fabric 1 is taken out from the case or the like. Details of the material and the like of the nonwoven fabric 1 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (B), when the user applies the liquid foundation, the support 2 has a handle 21 for holding the support 2 and the nonwoven fabric 1 pressed against the user's skin to apply the liquid foundation. And an application portion 22 that enables application while putting or sliding.

  It is preferable that the surface of the application unit 22 has a curved shape such as a circle or an ellipse so that the surface of the application unit 22 does not give excessive irritation to the user's skin and is easy to apply. The specific shape of the support 2 will be described later.

  Further, a fixing portion 23 is provided on the back surface of the application portion 22 so that the nonwoven fabric 1 is not wrinkled on the surface of the application portion 22 when the nonwoven fabric 1 is attached to the application portion 22 of the support 2. ing. In addition, in the example of FIG. 1 (B), the four fixing | fixed parts 23-1 to 23-4 are provided, However About the number of members, a shape, etc., it is not limited to this in this invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1C, the nonwoven fabric 1 has the non-penetrating region 12 at the end of the non-penetrating region 12 and the fixing portion 23-1 of the supporting member 2 so that the soaking region 11 is positioned on the surface of the coating portion 22 of the supporting member 2. It is fixed by being sandwiched between ˜23-4. As described above, here, it is preferable that the nonwoven fabric 1 is attached on the surface of the application part 22 without wrinkling.

  Thus, since the cosmetic applicator 100 can attach and detach the nonwoven fabric 1 from the support body 2 by the fixing portions 23-1 to 23-4, the liquid foundation or the like is infiltrated into the nonwoven fabric 1, and the support body 2 is infiltrated. Can be installed and used. Moreover, after use, the nonwoven fabric 1 can be removed and made disposable. Thereby, the cosmetic applicator 100 can be used in a sanitary manner.

  In addition, by using the cosmetic applicator 100, when applying the liquid foundation, it is possible to finish it cleanly without getting hands dirty.

<About non-woven fabric 1>
Next, the nonwoven fabric 1 used in the first embodiment will be described. The nonwoven fabric 1 uses a nonwoven fabric that is impregnated with a liquid makeup cosmetic such as a liquid foundation. Moreover, the nonwoven fabric 1 uses the nonwoven fabric which made the fiber fineness about 0.01-2.00 dtex, for example, and was produced by the melt blown manufacturing method or the spunlace manufacturing method.

  Here, the melt blown manufacturing method is, for example, melt spinning a thermoplastic resin, arranging it on a smooth surface and forming a sheet, and after spinning, the fibers are bonded only by fixing the fibers when cooling. Indicates The spunlace (water jet) manufacturing method is a method in which a synthetic or natural fiber cut to a certain length is opened, dispersed, mixed, or homogenized uniformly to form a sheet, and then closer to a high-pressure water stream. Shows the entanglement of fibers.

<Type of nonwoven fabric used for use evaluation test>
Next, the kind of nonwoven fabric examined in order to select the nonwoven fabric 1 mentioned above is demonstrated using FIG. Drawing 2 is a figure for explaining the kind of nonwoven fabric used for the use evaluation test.

  As shown in FIG. 2, for example, “air raid”, “PET”, “spun lace”, “extra-wet non-woven fabric”, and “melt brain” were used as representative nonwoven fabrics of different types.

“Air Raid” is, for example, a fiber specification of pulp 3 to 5 dtex (98%), an acrylic binder (2%), a fiber arrangement of air raid, a manufacturing method of air raid manufacturing method, an adhesive method of binder coating, and a basis weight of 100 g / m ^2. It is a nonwoven fabric. Note that the air raid manufacturing method is, for example, synthetically cut natural fibers, air-carrying natural fibers, mixing them, arranging them on a smooth surface, heat, pressure, adhesive, or composite A manufacturing method in which fibers are bonded by the above-described means will be described.

“PET” is, for example, a fiber specification of cotton 4 to 10 dtex (80%), low melting point PET (polyethylene terephthalate) (20%), a fiber arrangement is dry, a production method is a dry spunlace method, an adhesion method is a water jet (hydroentanglement) ), A nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 60 g / m ² . The dry spunlace manufacturing method means, for example, that synthetic, natural fibers cut to a certain length are opened, mixed, and quantitatively homogenized without using a liquid to form a sheet, and then closer to a high-pressure water stream. The manufacturing method which entangles the fibers to perform is shown.

"Spunlace" is, for example, cotton specification 4 to 10 dtex (60%), rayon 4 dtex (40%), fiber arrangement is dry, production method is dry spunlace, adhesion method is water jet (hydroentanglement), mesh pattern is applied The nonwoven fabric has a basis weight of 40 g / m ² .

The “ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric” has, for example, a fiber specification of about 0.1 dtex (100%) of PET, a fiber arrangement of wet, a manufacturing method of wet spunlace, a bonding method of water jet (hydroentanglement), and a basis weight of 50 g / m ^2. It is a nonwoven fabric. The wet spunlace manufacturing method means, for example, that synthetic and natural fibers cut to a certain length are dispersed and mixed in a liquid, and are quantitatively homogenized and formed into a sheet while being rolled up, and then closer to a high-pressure water stream. The manufacturing method which entangles the fibers to perform is shown.

“Meltblown” has a basis weight of, for example, approximately 0.05 dtex (100%) of fiber specification, melt blown (melt spinning) of fiber arrangement, meltblown manufacturing method, no bonding method, that is, self-adhesion during cooling from the melted state Is a nonwoven fabric of 15 g / m ² . As described above, the melt blown manufacturing method is, for example, a method in which a thermoplastic resin is melt-spun, arranged on a smooth surface, and formed into a sheet shape. After spinning, the fibers are bonded together only by fixing the fibers during cooling. The production method is shown.

  The five types of samples mentioned above have a lower density of “air raid” and a lower “melt blown” due to differences in fiber specifications, fiber arrangement, manufacturing method, bonding method, basis weight, etc. High density. Moreover, when compared with the smoothness of the nonwoven fabric surface, it can be said that “air raid” is inferior while “melt blown” is more excellent.

<Selection of optimum conditions by use evaluation test of nonwoven fabric 1>
Next, the use evaluation test implemented in order to select the optimal nonwoven fabric 1 in 1st Embodiment using five types of samples mentioned above is demonstrated. FIG. 3 shows the results of a use evaluation test when the nonwoven fabric shown in FIG. 2 is used.

  In addition, the use evaluation test is a general evaluation of the 20s to 30s when the liquid foundation is applied to the support 2 of the cosmetic applicator 100 described above using the nonwoven fabric shown in FIG. It was conducted for women.

  In this use evaluation test, the “smoothness during application”, “per touch of the applicator skin”, “roughness of the applicator”, “streaks of finished streaks”, “uniformity of the finish” when applying the liquid foundation ”And“ Overall evaluation ”were evaluated. Specifically, for the above-mentioned 10 general women in their 20s to 30s (n = 10), seven stages (−3, −2, −1, 0) of −3 to +3 for each examination item. , 1, 2 and 3), calculate the average score of the evaluation points for each of the examination items, and calculate “less than −3 to −1.5 → evaluation ×”, “less than −1.5 to 0 → The evaluation criteria are “Evaluation Δ”, “0 to less than 1.5 → Evaluation ○ Δ”, and “1.5 to 3 → Evaluation ○”.

  As the support 2, a wooden support having a shape shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 described later was used. For the liquid foundation, a foundation having an oil phase of 20 to 40%, a powder of 10 to 30%, and an aqueous phase of 20 to 50% was used.

  As shown in FIG. 3, “smoothness during coating” is “evaluation ○ (1.5 to 3)” for “extra fine wet nonwoven fabric” and “evaluation ○ Δ (0 to 1.5) for“ melt blown ”. The evaluation result that “extra fine wet nonwoven fabric” and “melt blown” are smooth against the skin was obtained.

  As for “per skin of applicator”, “melt blown” is “evaluation ○ (1.5-3)”, “spun lace” and “extra-wet non-woven fabric” are “evaluation ○ △ (0-1.5) Evaluation results were obtained that “Meltblown” had good skin contact, followed by “Spunlace” and “Ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric” had good skin contact.

  For “roughness of the applicator”, “melt blown” is “evaluation ○ (1.5 to 3)”, “ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric” is “evaluation ○ Δ (0 to 1.5)”, “ Evaluation results were obtained that “Meltblown” had no roughness and good feel, and “Ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric” had no roughness and good feel.

  In addition, as for “finished stripe unevenness”, “melt blown” is “evaluation ○ (1.5-3)”, and “melt blown” has an evaluation result that stripe unevenness does not occur in the finish after liquid foundation application. Obtained.

  In addition, regarding “uniformity of finish”, “extra fine wet nonwoven fabric” and “melt blown” are “evaluation ○ △ (0 to 1.5)”, and “extra fine wet nonwoven fabric” and “melt blown” are liquid foundation. The evaluation result that it can apply | coat to a skin uniformly was obtained.

  Furthermore, regarding “overall evaluation” that summarizes the evaluation for each of the above-mentioned examination items, “melt blown” is “evaluation ○ (1.5 to 3)” and “very fine wet nonwoven fabric” is “evaluation ○ Δ (0 to 1). .5) "," Meltblown "was the highest, followed by" Ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric ".

  Here, the above-mentioned “melt blown” is a thin fiber (about 0.05 dtex), is a continuous fiber for manufacturing reasons, and has high surface smoothness because there is no fiber end face. In addition, there is no bonding process after fiber placement in the manufacturing method, and there is no disturbance in the distance between fibers, so the unevenness of the fibers in the sheet cross section is small, and the uniform gaps also contribute to micro smoothness is doing.

  Therefore, “melt blown” has less “streaks of the finished line” due to this surface smoothness, and even when impregnated with the liquid foundation, the dynamic friction when sliding on the skin is low, so it feels smooth against the skin. It can be said that the highest evaluation was obtained.

  In addition, the “ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric” has thin fibers (about 0.1 dtex) and relatively high surface smoothness. However, since the fiber end faces that have been cut are present on the surface at a certain rate for manufacturing reasons, roughness on the skin tends to occur. Further, the inter-fiber distance varies due to the hydroentanglement treatment, and the smoothness at the micro level is inferior. Thus, it is estimated that the evaluation of “extra fine wet nonwoven fabric” was lower than that of “melt blown”.

  “Spunlace” and “PET” have thick cotton fibers (about 4 to 10 dtex) and relatively low surface smoothness. Moreover, since the fiber end surface cut | disconnected from the reason for the manufacturing method exists in the surface in a fixed ratio, it is easy to produce roughness with respect to skin. Moreover, since the interfiber distance varies due to the hydroentanglement process, it is estimated that the microscopic smoothness is inferior and the evaluation is low.

  The fiber surface property of “PET” is less hydrophilic than “spunlace”. Therefore, when considering compatibility with the above-mentioned liquid foundation (the outer phase is an oil phase, that is, having a hydrophobic property), “PET” has a characteristic that is less likely to become familiar with the foundation than “spunlace”.

  Therefore, it was assumed that “PET” was easier to apply to the skin and contributed to “uniformity of the finish” because it was easier to release the foundation than “spun lace” and moved to the skin with a weak force. The effect on was not seen. From this, the smoothness factor of the non-woven fabric has a greater effect on the “uniformity of the finish” than the compatibility of the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity that are compatible with the foundation and the non-woven fabric, etc. Guessed.

  “Air Raid” has pulp fibers thinner than cotton. However, the fiber length is considerably short in order to make it easy to convey with an air flow in the manufacturing method, and the cut fiber end faces are present on the surface in a considerable proportion, so that roughness is likely to occur. In addition, “Air Raid” is highly appreciated by both the “smoothness during application” and “streaks of finished stripes” because the unevenness of unevenness is difficult to eliminate even with the use force due to the high rigidity of the pulp fiber. It is estimated that the result was low.

  “Air Raid” has a short fiber length and a small distance between fibers, so it is difficult to include a high-viscosity foundation. On the other hand, “air raid” is released once the foundation is included due to capillary action due to the dense structure. It has a feature that it is difficult to move to the skin. On the other hand, the above-mentioned “spun lace” has characteristics that it is difficult to contain a foundation and is easy to release due to its capillary phenomenon.

  The ease of inclusion and release of the foundation due to the capillary phenomenon of such a nonwoven fabric was considered to affect the “uniformity of the finish”, but no effect on the evaluation was seen. From this, it is surmised that the smoothness factor of the nonwoven fabric acts more on the “uniformity of the finish” than the difference in capillary action of the nonwoven fabric.

  As described above, in the use evaluation test, “melt blown” obtained the highest evaluation among the nonwoven fabrics shown in FIG. Therefore, for example, “melt blown” may be used as the optimum nonwoven fabric 1.

<About selection of nonwoven fabric 1>
Next, selection of the nonwoven fabric 1 will be described. When the “melt blown” (fiber specification: PP about 0.05 dtex) shown in FIG. 2 and the “air raid” (fiber specification: pulp 3 dtex) shown in FIG. 2 are compared, the “air raid” is inferior in the smoothness of the nonwoven fabric surface. .

  Here, the smoothness of the surface of the nonwoven fabric means, for example, the state of unevenness on the surface of the nonwoven fabric, and when there is unevenness on the surface of the nonwoven fabric, a local difference occurs in the way of contact with the skin, so the liquid foundation Is applied more or less, so-called unevenness is generated.

  The smoothness of the surface of the nonwoven fabric is affected by the fiber fineness of, for example, thick and thin fibers. For example, when the fiber fineness exceeds about 2.00 dtex, stripe unevenness often occurs.

  On the other hand, the strength of the nonwoven fabric generally decreases as the fibers become thinner. That is, since the strength of each fiber is lowered, fiber breakage or entanglement is locally generated, a part of the nonwoven fabric is stretched or cut, and the slack portion is wrinkled, so that the entire sheet Concavities and convexities occur in the film, leading to unevenness during application. Specifically, when the fiber fineness is less than about 0.01 dtex, elongation and breakage occur remarkably.

  Therefore, the fiber fineness used for the nonwoven fabric 1 is preferably set to about 0.01 to 2.00 dtex.

  The above-mentioned “spun lace” and “PET” in FIG. 2 are manufactured by a dry spunlace manufacturing method. The dry spunlace manufacturing method and the “ultrafine wet nonwoven fabric” wet spunlace manufacturing method are liquids. The manufacturing method differs depending on whether the fiber is dispersed using

  In the case of the dry spunlace manufacturing method, synthetic and natural fibers that have been cut to a certain length are loosened and evenly placed without using water. Disperse the fiber while physically scraping. In this process, if the fiber used in the dry spunlace manufacturing method is too thin, it hardens or breaks, so the fiber fineness is about 1.00 dtex. However, if it is a dry spunlace using fine fibers with a fiber fineness of about 1.00 to 2.00 dtex, a nonwoven fabric with a smoother surface of the nonwoven fabric than “spunlace” or “PET” can be obtained. Is possible.

  From the above, for the nonwoven fabric 1 in the first embodiment, for example, a nonwoven fabric having a fiber fineness of about 0.01 to 2.00 dtex and manufactured by a melt blown manufacturing method or a spunlace manufacturing method is used. In addition, when using the nonwoven fabric produced by the dry spunlace manufacturing method among the spunlace manufacturing methods, it is preferable to use a fiber fineness of about 1.00 to 2.00 dtex.

  By using the above-mentioned non-woven fabric 1, while applying the liquid foundation, the liquid foundation is applied evenly and cleanly without causing unevenness, with a smooth feel, no roughness, feel and good feeling of use. It can be finished.

<About support>
Next, the support 2 will be specifically described. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of an overview of the entire support in the first embodiment. Moreover, FIG. 5 is a figure for demonstrating the specific shape of a support body.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the support 2 in the first embodiment is formed in a shape in which the application part 22 is curved. In the example of FIG. 4, the support 2 is made of wood, but is not limited to this in the present invention, and may be a resin, metal, earthenware or the like that is not impregnated with a liquid makeup cosmetic such as a liquid foundation.

  In addition, although the curved shape of the application part 22 in the support body 2 is, for example, 127 ° in the example of FIG. 5, it is not limited to this in the present invention. Further, R on the surface of the application part 22 is formed with preset values (in the example of FIG. 5, the front surface side R19 and the back surface side R17). By attaching the support 2 so as to cover the nonwoven fabric 1 along the surface of the application part 22 on which the surface R is formed, it is possible to apply the foundation using the surface of the application part 22. Become.

  Further, the handle portion 21 having the support body 2 is provided with a predetermined R (R23 in the example of FIG. 5), but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, the usability may be improved by providing a predetermined R at the corner of the support 2.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the nonwoven fabric 1 is attached to the surface of the application portion 22 of the support 2 and is infiltrated into the surface of the nonwoven fabric 1 by bringing it into contact with a makeup target site such as the user's skin. It becomes possible to apply the liquid foundation to the site to be applied.

  In addition, since the nonwoven fabric 1 has a smooth feel and good skin feel, the feeling of use is good, and a liquid makeup cosmetic can be uniformly applied to the skin. In addition, the cosmetic applicator 100 can be used in a sanitary manner by making the nonwoven fabric 1 disposable by allowing the nonwoven fabric 1 infiltrated with a liquid makeup cosmetic material to be detachably attachable to the support 2. Become.

  In the above-described example, the nonwoven fabric 1 has been described as a soft sheet shape. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the nonwoven fabric 1 may have, for example, a cylindrical shape that covers the support 2. . Alternatively, an adhesive such as a seal may be attached to the non-penetrating region 12 on the back surface of the nonwoven fabric 1, and the adhesive or the like of the nonwoven fabric 1 may be attached to the back surface of the support 2.

  Further, for example, the two nonwoven fabrics 1 described above may be used to overlap each other so that the nonwoven fabric 1 wound around the outer periphery of the carrier 2 is sandwiched and fixed. In that case, it is good to make the handle part 21 of the two support bodies 2 into a structure which can be opened and closed by joining with a hinge or a hinge part like a tong for cooking. Further, a non-penetrating region 12 on both sides of the nonwoven fabric 1 is sandwiched between the two supports 2 that are overlapped, and a fitting portion is provided at the front end portion of the back surface of the two supports 2, It may be used while holding the support 2 in a closed state.

<Second Embodiment: Cosmetic Applicator>
Next, the cosmetic applicator in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cosmetic applicator according to the second embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 (A) to 6 (D), the cosmetic applicator 101 of the second embodiment is provided with the adhesive portion 10 on the nonwoven fabric 1 as compared to the cosmetic applicator 100 of the first embodiment. The cosmetic coating sheet 30 is different in that it is attached to a predetermined position of the coating part 22 in the support 2.

  FIG. 6A shows the appearance of the cosmetic application sheet 30 (contact surface side with the application part 22). FIG. 6B shows the support 2 to which the cosmetic application sheet is attached. FIG. 6C shows a state in which the cosmetic application sheet 30 is attached to the application part 22 of the support 2. FIG. 6D shows a cross-sectional view of the cosmetic application sheet 30.

  As illustrated in FIG. 6A, the cosmetic application sheet 30 is configured to include the nonwoven fabric 1 and the adhesive portion 10. The nonwoven fabric 1 has a fiber fineness of 0.01 to 2.00 dtex in the first embodiment, and uses a nonwoven fabric produced by a melt blown manufacturing method or a spunlace manufacturing method. The adhesive portion 10 is provided in a region slightly inside (for example, about several millimeters) from the nonwoven fabric 1, but may be provided in the same region as the nonwoven fabric 1, and only a part thereof is provided in a region inside the nonwoven fabric 1. May be.

  As shown in FIG. 6C, the cosmetic applicator 101 uses the cosmetic application sheet 30 by being detachably attached to the surface of the application part 22 of the support 2 by the adhesive part 10. Thus, the adhesion surface covered with the nonwoven fabric 1 is formed on the surface of the application part 22 of the support 2 by affixing the adhesive part 10 to the surface of the application part.

  The cosmetic applicator 101 is used by impregnating the liquid foundation into the nonwoven fabric 1 when the user applies the liquid foundation to the face. Further, after use, the cosmetic application sheet 30 is removed from the support 2 to be disposable. Thereby, the cosmetic applicator 101 can be used in a sanitary manner.

  As shown in FIG. 6D, in the cosmetic application sheet 30, the adhesive portion 10 is configured to include an adhesive layer 10A, a core material 10B, and an adhesive layer 10C.

  The adhesive part 10 makes the nonwoven fabric 1 detachable from the support 2 by adhering the adhesive layer 10 </ b> A to the application part 22 of the support 2. The core material 10B is sandwiched between the adhesive layer 10A and the adhesive layer 10C and blocks the penetration of the liquid foundation impregnated in the nonwoven fabric 1 so that the support 2 is not soiled. The adhesive layer 10 </ b> C adheres to the nonwoven fabric 1 and integrates the adhesive portion 10 and the nonwoven fabric 1.

  In addition, the adhesion part 10 is not restricted to the structure mentioned above, For example, you may comprise only the adhesion layer 10C. In this case, the cosmetic application sheet 30 is used by attaching the nonwoven fabric 1 to the application part 22 of the support 2 with the adhesive layer 10C.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, when applying the liquid foundation, by using the cosmetic applicator 101, it is possible to finish the hand cleanly without getting dirty.

<About the material of the core material 10B of the adhesion part 10>
Next, the core material 10B of the adhesive portion 10 described above will be described. The core material 10B of the adhesive portion 10 is made of a material that blocks penetration of the liquid makeup cosmetic such as a liquid foundation and does not impregnate the liquid makeup cosmetic.

  For example, the core material 10B may be made of hydrocarbon plastic (nonpolar plastic), polar vinyl plastic (monomer polymer having a vinyl group), linear structure plastic (engineering plastic), cellulose plastic (cellulose derivative). ), A silicone resin, a thermoplastic elastomer, or the like may be used.

  For the hydrocarbon-based plastic, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polymethylpentene, polybutene, crystalline polybutadiene, or the like is preferably used as the crystalline one. Further, as an amorphous material, for example, polystyrene, polybutadiene, styrene / butadiene resin, or the like may be used.

  Polar vinyl plastics include polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA, AS, ABS, ionomer, AAS, ACS), polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic), polytetra Fluoroethylene, ethylene polytetrafluoroethylene copolymer or the like may be used.

  Linear structural plastics include polyacetal (polyoxymethylene), polyamide, polycarbonate, polyphenylene ether, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyarylate (U polymer), polystyrene, polyethersulfone, polyimide, polyamideimide, polyphenylene sulfide. Polyoxybenzoyl, polyetheretherketone, polyetherimide, and other liquid crystal polyesters may be used.

  In addition, for example, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellophane, celluloid, or the like may be used as the cellulose plastic. As the thermoplastic elastomer, styrene / butadiene, polyolefin, urethane, polyester, polyamide, 1,2-polybutadiene, polyvinyl chloride, ionomer, or the like may be used.

  As described above, by using a material that blocks the penetration of the liquid makeup cosmetic and does not impregnate the liquid makeup cosmetic in the core material 10B of the adhesive portion 10, the cosmetic application sheet 30 is used as the cosmetic application tool 101. Even when pasted and used, the liquid makeup cosmetic can be applied without staining the cosmetic applicator 101.

<About the adhesion layer 10A and the adhesion layer 10C of the adhesion part 10>
Next, the material of the adhesion layer 10A and the adhesion layer 10C of the adhesion part 10 mentioned above is demonstrated. For example, a rubber-based adhesive may be used for the adhesive layer 10A and the adhesive layer 10C. General compositions of rubber adhesives include, for example, polystyrene / polyisoprene block copolymers, polystyrene / polybutadiene block copolymers, and various styrene thermoplastic block copolymers including hydrogenated products thereof. It is preferable to use a material that contains an elastomer having a main component and blended with a tackifier, a softener, an anti-aging agent, and the like.

  As the tackifier, for example, an aliphatic petroleum resin, an aliphatic / aromatic petroleum resin, a cyclopentadiene resin, a rosin ester resin, a terpene resin, or the like may be used. As the softening agent, adipic acid ether ester, adipic acid polyester, polyether ester, fatty acid alkyl ester, or the like may be used.

  The anti-aging agent is added for the purpose of preventing, for example, rubber or tackifier as a main component of the rubber-based adhesive from deteriorating with the passage of time, such as di-tert-butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), N N′-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPPD) or the like may be used.
