Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable hair removing device for removing body hair by utilizing heat generated by an electrically conductive resistance wire and a method for removing body hair using the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device and a method for removing body hair other than head hair, a laser scalpel, hair removal, a razor, scissors and the like have been known.

[0003]

In recent years, due to so-called cleanliness and changes in swimwear design, a part of body hair near the groin has been temporarily or permanently removed irrespective of gender and age due to beauty or hygiene. It has come to be required to remove it. However, laser scalpels can only be operated by certain qualified personnel, and
At present, the equipment and cost are large and expensive, and have hardly spread to the general public to young people. Therefore, what has actually become widespread is a removal method applied to a subject's own body using a hair remover, a razor or scissors.

[0004] However, removing hair one by one by hair removal is not only inefficient and painful, but also often causes various skin diseases caused by damage to the hair root. In addition, in the case of hair removal, there is a choice of whether or not to remove the hair, and the hair tips cannot be aligned.

[0005] Removal of body hair near the inguinal region with a razor has the disadvantage of causing various dermatological or urological injuries. That is, first, the razor may cause a minute wound on the skin or mucous membrane, and may exhibit a so-called razor-losing symptom.

[0006] Next, when completely removing the hair at a specific site by using a razor, the cut surface of the hair becomes sharp, so that the cut surface of the subject's own skin or mucous membrane rubs against each other, causing damage. In addition, at the time of sexual intercourse or the like, the skin or mucous membrane of the partner may be damaged, or the partner may feel itching or discomfort accompanied by pain. Wounds caused by such sharp cross-sections of body hair have become a breeding ground for infectious dermatological diseases and sexually transmitted diseases along with changes in sexual morals.

[0007] Furthermore, it has not been easy, at least in a short time, to remove a part of the body hair with a razor and trim the tip of the hair to an appropriate length. Thus, when using a razor, it is often an option to remove individual hair completely or not at all.

[0008] In addition, the body hair which is left without being removed at all is
Depending on its length, there is a risk of being caught between mucous membranes during sexual intercourse and causing a so-called hair breakage phenomenon that damages the genitals. It is easy to see that such hair breaks become a hotbed where various diseases are further spread.

[0009] Even when scissors are used, the body hair is generally not straight hair, so that it is not suitable for trimming it to a very short length or cutting it to a length that does not cause hair breakage.
In addition, the harmful effect of the cut surface being sharp was the same as that of a razor.

Regardless of whether the work is performed on the go or at home, special care must be taken to remove the hair fragments from the inside and outside of the clothes in the case of hair removal, razor or scissors. But it was.

[0011] Further, when removing body hair in a closed environment where lighting is insufficient while avoiding the eyes of people on the road, it is uncertain and dangerous to use a method using a razor or scissors. Therefore, it was desirable to use auxiliary lighting equipment such as a flashlight.

An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive, easy and safe portable hair removing device which contributes to prevention of various injuries and diseases such as a dermatological system or a urological system, and a hair removing method using the device.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above object, in the apparatus and method according to the present invention, a comb-shaped part having a tooth part and a connecting part connected to the comb-shaped part by a connecting part. Grip part 3, power supply part 31 built in grip part 3, and electrically conductive resistance wire 1 sequentially penetrating teeth 111 of tooth part 11
2. A body hair removing device is configured with a cord member 32 that supplies a current to the resistance wire 12 while penetrating the comb-like portion 1, the connecting portion 2, and / or the grip portion 3, and the hair removal device is formed from the power supply unit 31 via the cord member 32. The resistance wire 12 is energized to generate heat, and the hair that comes into contact with the heat is cauterized and removed. The comb portion 1 and the grip portion 3 may have a hollow structure or a filling structure filled with a material.

There is no particular limitation on the length of the teeth of the tooth portion 11, but in order to remove the hair so that the hair can be prevented from breaking,
15 to 30 mm is preferable, and 20 to 25 mm is more preferable.

The spacing between the teeth 111 of the tooth portion 11 is not particularly limited. However, too close together makes it difficult to comb the hair, while too far apart can cause human tissue to enter between the teeth 111 and contact the resistance wire 12. Therefore, in general, the interval between the teeth 111 is
0.5 to 5.0 mm, preferably 0.5 to 3.0 mm.
mm, more preferably 0.5 to 2.0 mm.

A current is supplied to the small resistance wire 12a from the power supply unit 31 via the cord member 32 and the cord member 32a. Small resistance wire 1
The mechanism by which the body hair is removed by 2a is the same as that by the resistance wire 12.

The spacing between the small teeth 111a of the small teeth 11a is the same as that of the teeth 111 of the teeth 11. The length of the small teeth 111a is not particularly limited, but is preferably 4 to 10 mm in order to achieve the purpose of finishing.
2-5 mm is more preferred.

Although there is no particular limitation on the position where the small resistance wire 12a penetrates, the small teeth 11
It is preferably 1 to 3 mm from the branch position a toward the tooth tip, and more preferably 1.5 to 2.0 mm. Small resistance wire 12
The material of “a” and the electric mortgage characteristics are the same as those of the resistance wire 12.

In order to prevent the current flowing through the resistance wire 12 or the small resistance wire 12a or the heat generated by the resistance wire from being directly transmitted to the human body, the material of the entire comb-like portion 1 is made of heat-resistant synthetic resin or ceramic. Is desirable. Only the portion of the tooth 111 through which the resistance wire 12 penetrates is made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin, and the rest is made of a conductive, electro-thermal or non-heat-resistant material such as metal, wood, or a non-heat-resistant synthetic resin. You can also. Further, a ring-shaped ceramic member or the like may be fitted into the through portion of the resistance wire 12 or the small resistance wire 12a.

According to the portable hair removing device and the hair removing method using the device of the present invention, the hair can be removed efficiently in a short time. In addition, it does not cause pain or damage to the hair root during removal.

Further, according to the present invention, since the body hair is cauterized and cut, the cut surface of the body hair is smooth, and the skin is not rubbed and damaged. In particular, at the time of sexual intercourse or the like, the skin or mucous membrane of the partner is not damaged, and the partner does not feel itching with pain or the like. Therefore, the spread of infectious dermatological diseases and venereal diseases can be prevented beforehand.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the hair tips of the body hair can be easily aligned, so that the body hair left unmaintained is caught between mucous membranes during sexual intercourse, etc. It is possible to prevent a so-called hair breakage phenomenon that causes damage.

In the case where the dust collecting filter portion 343 is provided, it is not necessary to use special consideration for cleaning the removed hair pieces. In addition, when the deodorizing filter section 344 is provided, it is possible to prevent the spread of an unusual odor generated by cauterization of body hair.
