[Usage examples and effects]
An example of a beauty method using the beauty instrument 10 is as follows. A user of the beauty instrument 10 first attaches the controller 12 to the outer component piece 15 of the glove body 11 . Specifically, by engaging the engaging piece 50 and the engaging piece 32 and engaging the engaging piece 51 and the engaging piece 33 shown in FIG. It is attached.

In step S<b>1 of FIG. 7 , the user applies beauty essence to the back 18 of the hand 14 before wearing the glove body 11 on the hand 14 . The purpose of the serum is to moisturize the skin and to obtain additional cosmetic effects by blending appealing ingredients for different purposes. Serums include liquids, gels, milks, oils and the like.

Next, after the first step, the user wears the glove body 11 on the hand 14 and exposes the thumb 23, the index finger 25, the middle finger 26, the ring finger 27, and the little finger 28 to the outside 24, respectively. Further, both ends 38A of the adjustment belt 38 are folded back so as to approach the inner component piece 16, and the inner component piece 16 is shrunk in the width direction. This operation presses the conductive pads 30 and 31 against the back 18 of the hand 14, respectively. That is, the conductive pads 30 and 31 are in surface contact with the back 18 of the hand 14, respectively.

Furthermore, in step 2 of FIG. 7, the user can supply current to the conductive pads 30 of the glove body 11 by operating the controller 12 . Specifically, when the operation button 40 is pressed for a predetermined time or more, for example, two seconds or more, the controller 44 is activated and the lamp 42 is turned on. After the control unit 44 is activated, when the operation button 40 is pressed for less than a predetermined period of time, for example, less than 2 seconds, the control unit 44 starts controlling the current of the power supply unit 45 to be supplied to the conductive pads 30 and 31 . In this way, electric lines of force are formed in the depth direction from the surface of the back 18 of the hand 14 toward the deep part (inside), reach the muscles 36 of the hand 14 , and stimulate the muscles 36 . Here, the depth of the formed electric lines of force, that is, the range reached by the electric lines of force, is about 1/2 of the predetermined interval L1 described with reference to FIG.

Since the electric current supplied from the power supply unit 45 to the conductive pads 30 and 31 is a weak electric current, the user does not feel a tingling sensation in the hand 14 and can relax with comfortable muscle stimulation. In this way, cosmetic effects such as tension relief and relaxation of the muscles 36, promotion of blood circulation, and the like can be expected. In addition, when the muscle 36 is stimulated and expands and contracts, neural stem cells are activated and the brain can be stimulated. There are many papers that have verified that electrical stimulation of the hand muscles affects the brain. Furthermore, since the beauty essence is applied to the back 18 of the hand 14, in step S3 of FIG. Permeation of cosmetic ingredients into the stratum corneum of the surface (skin) of the skin is promoted, and skin moisture (moisturizing effect) can be obtained. Note that steps S2 and S3 in FIG. 7 are performed in parallel.

By operating the operation buttons 40 and 41, the EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) level for supplying current to the conductive pads 30 and 31 to stimulate the muscles 36 can be changed in multiple levels, for example, seven levels. A plurality of types of EMS levels differ in frequency and voltage control contents. For example, higher EMS levels are accompanied by higher frequencies and higher voltages.

FIGS. 8A and 8B respectively show examples of voltage waveform control. The example shown in FIG. 8(A) is an example in which iontophoresis is mainly performed on cosmetic ingredients. Here, it is an example in which the frequency is 10 Hz, the voltage is 10 V, the constant current control is performed with a current of 200 μA±10 μA, and 20 pulses are set as one set. Specifically, the negative pulse wave is 19 times and the positive pulse wave is 1 time. The direction of the current flowing through the conductive pads 30 and 31 and the hand 14 is reversed between the negative pulse wave and the positive pulse wave. The width (interval) of one pulse is controlled to, for example, 100 μs, and a standby time is provided during which the voltage becomes “0”.

That is, the control unit 44 intermittently supplies current in the first direction to the conductive pads 30, 31 and the back 18 of the hand 14, and then supplies the current to the conductive pads 30 and 31 and the back 18 of the hand 14. Control is performed to supply current in the second direction. The first control is the control that generates 19 negative pulse waves that alternate between the voltage "0" and the negative voltage. After the first control, the second control is to increase the voltage from "0" to the positive voltage and to decrease the voltage from the positive voltage to "0".

FIG. 8(B) is an example in which the muscle 36 is mainly stimulated. It is alternately controlled between the voltage Vmax and the voltage -Vmax with "0" as the boundary. That is, the voltage is switched between the voltage "0" and the voltage -Vmax (negative voltage) a plurality of times at predetermined time intervals. Voltage -Vmax causes current to flow through conductive pads 30, 31 and hand 14 in a first direction, and voltage Vmax causes current to flow through conductive pads 30, 31 and hand 14 in a second direction. When the direction of the current is switched, it is lowered from voltage Vmax to voltage “0” and increased from voltage “0” to voltage −Vmax after time t2 has passed at voltage “0”. The voltage -Vmax is held for time t6. Further, the voltage is decreased from the voltage -Vmax to the voltage "0", and when the time t2 elapses at the voltage "0", the voltage is increased from the voltage "0" to the voltage Vmax. In other words, switching control between the voltage Vmax and the voltage -Vmax is performed in two steps. Times t1 (μs), t2 (μs) and t3 (ms) are the same even if the frequency is changed according to the EMS level. A time t2 is a waiting time when the voltage is set to "0". Therefore, the stimulus applied to the muscle 36 can be suppressed from changing rapidly between the voltage Vmax and the voltage -Vmax without changing in one step. Also, when the frequency is changed, the times t4 (ms) and t5 (ms) are changed, specifically shortened. An example of the third control is control in which the voltage is alternately changed between the voltage Vmax (positive pole) and the voltage −Vmax (minus pole), as shown in FIG. 8B. Then, in the process of performing the third control, the control to keep the voltage at "0" for the time t2 is an example of the fourth control.

For example, if the frequency is set to about 4 Hz, the deep muscle (slow twitch muscle) 36 can be slowly moved and loosened. Setting the frequency to about 10 Hz improves the effect of introducing ions into the beauty ingredients. When the frequency is set within the range of 20 Hz to 80 Hz, the superficial muscles (fast-twitch muscles) 36 can be rapidly moved and trained. In particular, when the frequency is set to about 20 Hz, more oxygen is consumed than at other frequencies, so energy sources for nerve cells are easily produced in the body.

The control unit 44 performs control to raise the EMS level each time the operation button 40 is operated while current is being supplied to the conductive pads 30 and 31 . The control unit 44 performs control to lower the EMS level each time the operation button 41 is operated while current is being supplied to the conductive pads 30 and 31 . Furthermore, the control unit 44 may alternately perform the voltage control shown in FIG. 8A and the voltage control shown in FIG. 8B. By doing so, it is possible to alternately switch between a state in which the beauty liquid is mainly permeated into the back 18 of the hand 14 and a state in which the muscle 36 is mainly stimulated. Note that when the operation button 41 is pressed for a predetermined period of time or more, the control unit 44 controls the inverter circuit 46 to stop the current supply to the conductive pads 30 and 31 and turn off the lamp 42. Section 44 is shut down.

On the other hand, a user other than the user wearing the glove body 11 operates the remote controller 13 to set the EMS level via the controller 12 by supplying current to the conductive pads 30 and 31. It can be controlled indirectly. Specifically, when the main switch 58 is operated, the controller 60 is activated and the lamp 57 is lit. Furthermore, when the operation button 55 is pressed while the controller 12 is activated, the operation signal is sent from the remote controller 13 to the controller 12, and the control unit 44 transmits the power of the power supply unit 45 to the conductive pads 30 and 31. Start feed control.

In addition, when the operation button 55 is pressed while current is being supplied to the conductive pads 30 and 31, the control unit 60 sends an operation signal from the remote controller 13 to the controller 12, and the control unit 44 controls the EMS. Control to raise the level. On the other hand, when the operation button 56 is pressed while current is being supplied to the conductive pads 30 and 31 , the control unit 60 sends the operation signal from the remote controller 13 to the controller 12 and the control unit 44 performs control to lower the EMS level. Further, when the main switch 58 is pressed while the main switch 58 is turned on, the control section 60 turns off the lamp 57 and then shuts down the control section 60 .

In this way, when another user operates the remote controller 13, control of current supply to the conductive pads 30 and 31 and current supply to the conductive pads 30 and 31 are performed without the user operating the controller 12. Control to stop and control to change the EMS level can be performed. Furthermore, when the glove body 11 is not used, the glove body 11 can be removed from the hand 14 and washed with a washing machine. Since the cover 34 is joined to the outer component piece 15 by hot pressing, the cover 34 will not come off. It should be noted that an operation of putting the glove body 11 on the hand 14 and folding back the adjustment belt 38, supplying current to the conductive pads 30 and 31 with the glove body 11 worn on the hand 14, and putting the glove body 11 on the hand. Both left hand glove body 11A and right hand glove body 11B can be removed from 14 and washed in a washing machine.

Further, the glove body 11 according to the present embodiment exposes the thumb from the first finger-extending portion 20, exposes the index finger 25 from the second finger-extending portion 21, and exposes the middle finger 26, the ring finger 27 and the little finger 28 from the third finger-extending portion. 22 can be exposed. Therefore, fingers can be used while the glove body 11 is worn on the hand 14 . For example, the operation buttons 40, 41, 55, 56 and the main switch 58 can be directly operated with fingers. Also, the user can perform an operation of turning over a book or the like with a finger.

Also, the conductive pads 30 and 31 through which the current flows contact the back 18 of the hand 14 at the portions exposed through the two openings 35 . Therefore, some of the electric lines of force formed inside the back 18 of the hand 14 are formed along the first direction A1 along which the muscles 36 of the back 18 of the hand 14 shown in FIG. 6 extend. In other words, electric lines of force are generated along the fiber direction of the muscle 36 inside the back 18 of the hand 14, and the expansion and contraction of the muscle 36 and blood flow are promoted.

Furthermore, since the conductive pads 30 and 31 are made of silver fiber, the electrical conductivity is good, and the resistance value can be lowered when the conductive pads 30 and 31 contact the back 18 of the hand 14 . Therefore, the ionization of the beauty essence is further promoted. Furthermore, a cushion 37 is interposed between the controller 12 and the portion of the conductive pads 30 and 31 that contacts the back 18 of the hand 14 . Therefore, when the user operates the controller 12 and the operating force is applied to the outer component piece 15 , part of the load is absorbed and relieved by the cushion 37 . Therefore, the load received by the back 18 of the hand 14 can be reduced.

Furthermore, even if the size of the hand 14 , for example, the thickness or the total circumference of the hand 14 changes depending on the user, by changing the position where the fold-back portion of the adjustment belt 38 is fixed with the Velcro, the narrowing of the inner constituent piece 16 can be adjusted. You can adjust the amount. Therefore, when the size of the user's hand 14 changes, even a person with a small hand 14 in particular can bring the conductive pads 30 and 31 into close contact with the back 18 of the hand 14 from the opening 35, that is, feel comfortable when worn. can improve. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a decrease in conductivity with respect to the back 18 of the hand 14 . Furthermore, the thumb 23 and the other fingers can be exposed to the outside 24 from different finger extensions. Therefore, it is possible to ensure wearability for wearing the glove body 11 on the hand 14 .

In the present embodiment, fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles have different reaction speeds to stimuli. Also, the predetermined interval L1 corresponding to the distance between the conductive pads 30 and the conductive pads 31 is set based on verification results such as experiments and simulations. More specifically, it has been found from verification results that if the predetermined distance L1 between the conductive pads 30 and the conductive pads 31 is 8 mm or less, stimulation in the depth direction does not occur. Moreover, it has been verified that the stimulus actually penetrates to a depth of 1/2 of the predetermined interval L1 between the conductive pads 30 and 31 . Therefore, in this embodiment, the predetermined distance L1 between the conductive pads 30 and 31 is set to about 12 mm. That is, it is calculated that the stimulus reaches a depth of about 6 mm. Hooks 52 and 53, which have been used for clothes and the like, are used for connection between the conductive pads 30 and 31 and the controller 12. FIG. These hooks 52 and 53 have already been verified for durability. It should be noted that a connection method using a conductive member other than the hooks 52 and 53 is also possible for the connection between the conductive pads 30 and 31 and the controller 12 .

In supplying current to the conductive pads 30 and 31 in this embodiment, it is also possible to execute the following control example. This control example is performed for a total of 12 minutes. A frequency of 8 Hz is performed for 30 seconds, followed by a frequency of 20 Hz for 90 seconds, followed by iontophoresis. Then, a frequency of 4 Hz is applied for 30 seconds, followed by a frequency of 10 Hz for 60 seconds, followed by a frequency of 30 Hz for 90 seconds, and then iontophoresis. Then, the frequency is 10 Hz for 30 seconds, then the frequency is 80 Hz for 90 seconds, then the frequency is 20 Hz for 90 seconds, iontophoresis is then performed, and the control ends. In this embodiment, a total of seven waveforms are available. However, the number of types of waveforms is not limited to seven types, and may be six types or less, or may be eight types or more.
