BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pulse beauty device for providing a beauty treatment by providing an electrode inside an underwear worn on the skin and supplying a pulse current to electrically stimulate a living body.

[0002]

In the human body, in order to maintain the living body, a bioelectric current flows without a break to perform cell activity and muscle contraction. The pulse beauty device artificially supplies a pulse current from the outside to stimulate a living body, thereby activating cell activity in the same manner as a bioelectric current, and evoking muscle contraction to enhance biological functions. .

In order to pass this pulse current through a living body, it is necessary to place electrodes in contact with various parts of the body. For this reason, conventionally, a band-shaped wearing tool with a sheet-shaped flat electrode attached to the inside is wrapped around the body, or a special tights or suit with a flat electrode attached to the inside is attached to the body and the electrode is attached to each part of the body. Had been in contact.

[0004] However, these wearing equipment and clothing are made by attaching electrodes to a thick cloth such as urethane rubber, and are heavy and fit tightly to the body to restrict movement.
It was not easy to put on and take off, was uncomfortable, had a bad fit, and did not look good. Of course, when wearing it, I couldn't go out and had to stay still. In addition, there was resistance because it had to be naked when worn.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention has no resistance when the electrodes are mounted, can go out with the electrodes mounted, can act freely, and can perform pulse treatment anytime and anywhere, anytime and anywhere, without hesitation. It is intended to provide a pulse beauty device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

[0007] That is, a pulse beauty device in which electrodes to be electrically conductively contacted with various parts of the body are provided inside underwear worn on the skin, and a pulse power source is connected to the electrodes.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an electrode underwear (bra) embodying the present invention. In the electrode underwear, a planar electrode E made of a flexible material is attached to the inside of the brassiere A so as to correspond to the pectoralis major muscle of the chest and the front saw muscle of the side, respectively. Further, the planar electrode E is electrically connected to the outer hook H, and is connected to a cable connected to a pulse power source (not shown) via the hook H. The pulse power supply is a one-chip ultra-compact and lightweight power supply driven by a lithium battery.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show a front view and a rear view of an electrode underwear (shorts) embodying the present invention. In the electrode underwear, the planar electrode E is attached to the inside of the shorts B, and the front underwear corresponds to the external oblique muscle and the inferior portion of the lower abdomen at the front, and the gluteus maximus muscle at the back at the back. Similarly, it is connected to a cable connected to a pulse power source (not shown) via the hook H.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show a front view and a rear view of an electrode undergarment (body suit) embodying the present invention. The electrode underwear has a planar electrode E attached to the inside of the body suit D, and, in front, the pectoralis major muscle of the chest, the front saw muscle of the side, the rectus abdominis muscle of the abdomen, and the external oblique muscle of the lower abdomen and the groin. , On the back,
Correspond to the latissimus dorsi of the back and the gluteus maximus of the butt. Similarly, it is connected to a cable connected to a pulse power source (not shown) via the hook H.

The electrode underwear may be constructed by attaching a sheet electrode E to the inside of men's underwear.

The planar electrode E is formed by coating the surface of a flexible sheet of urethane resin with carbon ink, and is attached to the inside of the electrode undergarment with the coated surface facing up by sewing or joining with a surface fastener.

The planar electrode E may be formed by multi-layer printing of carbon ink directly on the inside of the electrode undergarment in order to eliminate the feeling of unevenness and the curving of the edges. Further, in order to fit the planar electrode E to the body, a pressing body such as air or sponge may be inserted on the back side.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a pulse power supply embodying the present invention. The pulse power source reads out a treatment type and a power supply pattern specified by the operation unit 1 from the memory 3 by the CPU 2, and outputs a digital trigger signal obtained by dividing a clock pulse of the reference clock generator 4 based on the treatment type and the power supply pattern into I. The pulse is input to a pulse generator 7 via an I / O interface 5 and a D / A converter 6 to generate a pulse having a predetermined width and frequency, and
To the primary side.

A transformer T2 is connected in parallel with the transformer T1, and a current detection circuit 8 is connected to the transformer T2 to measure a current value and monitor whether an overcurrent is flowing. The detection current detected by the current detection circuit 8 is input to the CPU 2 via the A / D converter 9 and the I / O interface 5, and when the current value exceeds the reference, the current protection circuit 1
When 0, the cutoff switch 11 is operated to cut off the circuit.

One ends of switching circuits 12A and 12B are connected to one end and the other end on the secondary side of the transformer T1, respectively.
The planar electrodes E are branched and connected via a connector C with the other ends of the switching circuits 12A and 12B common. The switching circuits 12A and 12B are photocoupler-connected switching circuits, and perform switching by energizing an arbitrary photocoupler according to an output signal of the corresponding switching unit 13A or 13B. As a result, a predetermined pulse current is caused to flow by arbitrarily combining the planar electrodes E based on the specified type of treatment and power supply pattern.

The type of treatment is 5 to 10 Hz
Stimulates the deep part of the body with low-frequency pulses, exercises skeletal muscles to stimulate blood circulation, and toning that has the effect of rubbing and loosening the body, and stimulating the surface of the body with high-frequency pulses of 20 to 100 Hz. There is a drainage that has the effect of exercising the muscles of the upper layer to promote the flow of lymph and remove edema.

Drainage and toning include special drainage and special toning in which the stimulus is changed by cyclically raising and lowering the pulse voltage. In addition to normal drainage and toning, in which pulses are simultaneously applied to a plurality of electrodes, time-series drainage in which pulses are applied to a plurality of electrodes in a time-sequential manner and time-sequential toning, or multiple simultaneous operations in a time-division manner. There are time division drainage and time division toning in which a pulse is applied between the electrodes.
