ABRASIVE
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an abrasive having an abrasive layer including stone powder and pearl powder, wherein the abrasive layer is bound to the abrasive by an adhesive. More particularly, the present invention relates to an abrasive having figures and patterns and emitting fragrance, thus having various aesthetic effects which conventional abrasives including grindstones cannot provide.
PRIOR ART
It is well known that abrasive materials such as grindstones are used in preparing a variety of products .
Such products are typically made of stone powder that cannot exhibit diverse colors, and are thus limited in their colors.
Without distinction of their use, abrasive materials for use in general polishing, which have simple colors and limited design, are' generally utilized in cosmetic preparations .
In spite of the fact that abrasives are used as cosmetic materials, they still do not offer diverse colors, figures, patterns, fragrance and design, which are required
in cosmetic products for use on skin. Moreover, without taking properties of its applied materials into consideration, abrasives are widely used for polishing of furniture, metals and plastics . Because of having limits in their use and being applied to both industrial and cosmetic products without particular distinction, the conventional abrasives cannot support specific features required in each of a variety of products . Moreover-, products prepared using such problematic abrasives are dominant in the market. Therefore, there is a need for development of abrasives capable of exhibiting diverse colors, figures, design, etc., and thus improving qualities of industrial and cosmetic products .
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, to solve the problems encountered in the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide an abrasive forming figures and patterns and thus having improved aesthetic appearance, and including materials not harmful to a body and thus allowing its use on skin of the human body.
To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is directed to an abrasive such as a grindstone, for use in cosmetic preparations and polishing of furniture,
metals and plastics, comprising a base, an adhesive layer formed on the base using an adhesive, and an abrasive layer obtained by coating an adhesive and an abrasive agent including pearl powder, stone powder and a perfume on a surface of the adhesive layer. Special figures and patterns are formed on the abrasive layer of the abrasive according to the present invention. In addition, according to applied products of the abrasive, a perfume may be added to the abrasive. The abrasive according to the present invention may be used in preparing industrial and cosmetic products . For example, special color, figure, pattern and perfume may be added to lumber using the abrasive of the present invention. Also, metals may be molded by an abrasive having a special figure, pattern, color and perfume according to the present invention.
To be used in cosmetic preparations for skin applications, the abrasive is prepared using a thermosetting silicon adhesive, which is not harmful to the body. When applied to the skin, cosmetic products including the resulting abrasive function to protect the skin from pollutants. In addition, the cosmetic products may be visually distinguished by their unique figures, patterns or perfumes exhibited by the abrasive contained therein.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The above and other objects, features and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a schematic view showing an adhesive layer formed on a base according to the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing an abrasive layer coated on the adhesive layer of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a schematic view showing a process of producing three dimensional figures and patterns on the abrasive layer of Fig. 2 to produce an abrasive according to the present invention; and
Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing the structure of an abrasive according to an embodiment of the present invention.
BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the following example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, as follows.
Fig. 1 shows an adhesive layer formed on a base according to the present invention, while Fig. 2 shows an abrasive layer coated on the adhesive layer of Fig. 1. To prepare an abrasive of the present invention, an
adhesive layer 11 is formed on a base 10 by coating an adhesive on the base 10, and an abrasive layer 12 is formed on the adhesive layer 11 of the base 10.
The abrasive layer 12 includes stone powder, pearl powder, a perfume, and a thermosetting silicon adhesive.
In addition, hologram figures are engraved on a surface of the abrasive layer 12, with the result that the surface of the abrasive layer 12 becomes uneven.
Desired designs and perfumes may be obtained by forming the abrasive layer 12 using an abrasive agent including pearl powder, a coloring agent and a perfume.
With reference to Fig. 3 showing a process of producing three dimensional figures and patterns on the abrasive, special figures and patterns are partially or entirely imprinted on the abrasive layer 12, thereby producing an abrasive having desirable visual and olfactory effects .
Fig. 4 shows an abrasive for cosmetic or industrial applications, in which a buffering pad 40 is fixed between an adhesive layer 12 and a resin 30 supplying physical strength by an adhesive contained in the adhesive layer 12.
Taken together, the abrasive according to the present invention is prepared in a form of having special figures and patterns, and optionally perfumes, thereby exhibiting diverse designs and providing a unique aroma.
The present invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology used is intended to be in the nature of description rather than of limitation. Many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in light of the above teachings. Therefore, it is to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY
As described hereinbefore, the abrasive according to the present invention is not harmful to the body, and provides diverse colors, perfumes, figures and patterns to industrial and cosmetic products to which the abrasive is applied, resulting in improvement of olfactory and visual effects .
