Definitions
- the invention relates to a mechanical device for cleaning the skin pores from sebum, dirt and bacteria substances deposited there, so-called white and black comedomas and their consequences in the form of pimples and blackheads.
- a number of vacuum-based suction devices have become known, as described in the following documents: FR-2626179; U.S. 4,292,971; U.S. 4,900,316; U.S. 3,794,035; DE-26 11 721 B2; U.S. 4,609,368; DE-32 16 523 AI; AB-353 395; U.S. 722,019; US 948,005; U.S. 1,141,373; U.S. 1,225,244; U.S. 2,571,398; U.S. 4,141,379; US 4,765,316, which is applicable to various Propose suction of the skin and pore substances and are given here as a technological background.
- the object of the presented invention is to provide an effective, technical solution for cleaning the skin pores, in particular for freeing the skin pores from blockages due to sebum deposits, comedomas, etc., and thereby reliably preventing any skin damage.
- the basic idea for the solution according to claim 1 is that the skin parts, preferably sucked in according to DE-40 29 326, are subjected to a mechanical pressure effect in the lower region of the raised skin area, which then causes the pore contents to be pressed out.
- the suction of the skin into the nozzle openings only serves to lift the skin pore into the advantageous position and to open the pore, after which the pressure effect around the pore is used as the actual cleaning action.
- the pressure effect is further subdivided into short pressure pulses, the time and amplitude parameters of which are varied such that an optimum effect can be combined with reliable properties with regard to the prevention of bruising.
- a narrow gap is preferably installed in the suction nozzle, which contains a plurality of smaller suction openings, so that the nozzle is divided into two superimposed disks, which contain suction openings arranged one above the other.
- the narrow gap is connected to a channel and connected to the pressure generator, while the inner openings of the suction openings are connected to a vacuum generator.
- the vacuum is first used and sucks some of the (relaxed) pressure medium from the narrow gap, but at the same time pulls the skin into the suction openings, which in turn closes the narrow gap when the depth corresponding to the gap is reached (valve Effect).
- the pressure is then built up in the gap, which then acts on the pores of the skin and presses out the deposits which are fixed there. Compressed air, which is controlled by an electromagnetically actuated valve, is advantageously proposed as the pressure medium.
- liquid media advantageously water
- a hydraulic control unit being controlled in such a way that, in addition to the drain parameters described above, the loss of liquid through the open suction openings is taken into account and corrected by inflow.
- the invention proposes a mechanical solution, that is, to implement the pressure effect by means of moving parts.
- An abundance of constructive solutions are conceivable here, two particularly advantageous constructions being presented here.
- two pliers-like pressure pieces are connected to a unit by a hinge and the channel formed by both parts is connected to the suction unit by the control valve.
- the movable pliers part is preferably driven by an electromagnet.
- the shape and surface properties of the two pressure pieces are designed so that the skin treatment can be carried out as gently as possible: that is, the greatest possible surface contact with the skin areas to be treated for low surface pressure values, and rounded edges against skin marks. So that several smaller suction-pressure units can be realized with just one moving part, the pressure pieces are formed in length and divided with narrow inserts.
- this design also allows the slot width between the two pressure pieces to be controlled, which means that they can be different thick and elastic skin types allowed.
- Figure 1 shows a suction opening with sucked skin pore and the gap to apply force
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through the suction nozzle
- Figure 3 shows the suction nozzle in the form of pliers for mechanical
- Figure 4 shows the suction nozzle in the form of pliers, in plan view
- FIG. 5 shows the suction nozzle in the form of pliers with two movable pressure parts, in a top view
- Figure 7 control diagram suction and pressure pulses with superimposed pressure vibration.
- a skin pore 6 with comedomas 3 in the sucked-in position in the suction opening 2 is shown in a greatly enlarged illustration in FIG.
- the inner channel of the suction opening 2 is connected to the vacuum generator 9 together with other suction openings.
- the nozzle body is composed of two superimposed disks 1, which form a delimited gap 4 between each other, which encloses the suction openings and is connected to the pressure generator (not shown) by means of channel 8.
- the pressure medium in the gap 4, as well as the suction medium in the nozzle chamber 9 can be compressed air and vacuum, or can also be a liquid medium, in particular if a harder (flank steepness) action is required.
- the liquid By controlling the pressure in the gap 4 and the negative pressure in the nozzle chamber 9 through the suction openings 2 and the gap 4, the liquid will act on the skin pores in the same way. Some liquid will inevitably emerge and will therefore have to be constantly replaced by supply, which can be done by appropriately defined control. This also enables the washing away of extracted substances and thus a practical hygiene device, but will probably limit the area of application to bathrooms and washrooms, and preferably water as the medium.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through a suction-pressure nozzle with a plurality of suction openings 2 according to FIG. 1.
- the annular groove 10 indicates use with the elastic membrane 19 according to DE-40 29 326.
- FIG. 3 A further advantageous mechanical solution is shown in FIG. 3, wherein the sucked-in skin area is pressed like a pair of pliers by the two (or more) lips 14 surrounding and forming the suction opening for a brief pulse with a predetermined pressure and movement path.
- Figure 4 shows a longitudinal suction pressure nozzle, which makes it possible to only one moving part 12 restrict.
- the nozzle receives separator sheets 15, which they divide into several smaller suction openings 2. This division into several smaller suction openings brings its advantages when using an elastic membrane 19 drawn over the nozzle according to DE-40 29 326, which then ensures the vacuum distribution to all suction openings even if one or more of them are not closed by skin contact.
- FIG. 5 shows an advantageous further development of the construction according to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, two rows of suction openings 2 being formed here by the use of two movable parts 12a and 12b and the rigid fusion of the separating sheets to form a divider 15.
- the possible advantageous embodiment with the offset rows (without illustration) of suction openings 2 and floating divider 15 should also be added.
- the optimal action is achieved by a suitable choice of the pressure amplitude, duration of the pressure action and resting phase and in the last described case with mechanical "pliers" by the adjustment path of the pliers lips.
- FIG. 6 shows, by way of example, an idealized control signal curve for the suction action 18 with the amplitude P L and pressure action 17 with the amplidute P H.
- the period T is initiated by the start of the suction action 18, which here takes a certain amount of time due to the inclined edges.
- a suction time t a the skin is drawn in and the pressure 17 is released. Both control signals remain active for the predetermined experimentally determined time, after which a rest phase for the time t r is initiated.
- FIG. 7 shows, in addition to the signal curve shown in FIG. 6, an oscillation, preferably superimposed on the pressure action 17, which is caused by the amplitude difference (P H - P v ) is shown.
- a construction developed according to the invention as a side effect, is able to thoroughly ascertain the treated skin in a new way, which contributes positively to the supply of the skin cells with nutrients. If one considers that cosmetic skin cleansing is often desired by consumers, such a thorough skin massage would automatically be carried out with it each time, and the regularity would then lead to the expectation that the treatment would work and that the skin would be healthy and vital for longer overall preserved.
