Description

  The present invention relates to a facial mask and a beauty instrument to be worn on the face.

  Due to the recent beauty treatment boom, various facial masks to be worn on the face have been developed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a facial mask in which natural ore or ceramic powder is kneaded into a plastic heat-resistant rubber fabric. This is intended to promote facial blood circulation and maintain a beautiful face by the far infrared rays generated by the powder.

  Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a facial beauty apparatus in which an airbag is accommodated in a portion that hits the cheek. This is a device for performing facial massage by sending air to the airbag from a compressor.

Thus, as a method for obtaining a massage effect, a method of energizing a low-frequency electric pulse as described in Patent Document 2 is also used.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-145520 JP 2002-159340 A

  As described above, massaging the face is effective on a beautiful face, but the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a drawback that the airbag is bulky and heavy when worn on the face. Further, the massageable part is limited to the cheeks, and the shape is determined in advance, so it does not necessarily match the shape of each user's face. Furthermore, it can be said that the compressor is noisy.

  Further, in the method using the electric pulse as described above, an electrode is brought into surface contact with the surface of the skin to be massaged through an adhesive pad such as a polymer gel, and a low-frequency electric pulse is transmitted to the skin. In this case, a strong stimulus penetrates deep into the skin (subcutaneous tissue), and the skin may become irritated by prolonged use.

  In Patent Document 2, a configuration including a vibration motor in addition to the above configuration is disclosed, but no consideration is given to a beautiful face such as wrinkle removal or stain removal.

  The present invention has been made from such a viewpoint, and is adapted to the shape of each user's face, can massage each part of the face according to needs, is a safe, lightweight and quiet facial mask that is active. And it aims at providing the beauty instrument which can massage each part of a body.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a facial mask and a beauty instrument that can promote the effect of a beautiful face and a beautiful skin by the massage action.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means.

  First, in a facial mask having an opening in eyes, nose and mouth and covering a face, a vibration element and / or an electromagnetic wave transmission device are provided in the mask ground. This vibration element is provided in a portion where the user wants to massage, and this enables massage according to the user's needs.

  In addition, the electromagnetic wave transmitting device can produce an effect of relaxing by generating negative ions from moisture on the skin surface. If this electromagnetic wave transmission device is a low frequency transmission device that transmits a low frequency of 8 Hz to 13 Hz, which is the frequency of α waves (human brain waves observed in a stable mental state), the effect of relaxing is enhanced. Can do. In addition, from the viewpoint of generating negative ions, tourmaline ore may be contained in the mask ground.

  Furthermore, you may provide the ridge which protrudes toward the face in the face face of the said mask base. Thereby, the effect of massage improves.

  On the other hand, in order to transmit a stimulus by vibration only to the vicinity of the surface of the skin, the vibration element preferably vibrates in a plane substantially parallel to the face. At this time, if the face face of the mask base is a material having skin adhesiveness, the vibration can be efficiently transmitted to the face and the skin can be stretched, so that the effect of wrinkle removal can be obtained.

  In addition, the mask base contains an amino acid having a beautifying effect such as reducing wrinkles and spots, a titanium oxide photocatalyst having a negative ion generating action, a far infrared radiation action, an action for decomposing waste products, and the like. With the configuration, the facial effect can be further enhanced.

  In addition, if the mask base has a heating element, the pores can be opened and the face can be perspired to further enhance the facial effect.

  By the way, if it is set as the structure provided with a vibration element and / or an electromagnetic wave transmitter in a sheet base material instead of the mask base, it is used as a beauty instrument on any part of the body such as cheeks, neck, upper arm, thigh, etc. It is possible.

  Further, if the structure is provided with an opening adapted to the bent portion of the joint such as the elbow or knee, it can be prevented from peeling off from the skin or causing displacement when the joint is moved.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the facial mask which adapts to the shape of each user's face, can massage each part of the face according to needs, is safe, lightweight, and quiet during operation can be provided.

  In addition, if it is composed of a sheet-like sheet base material instead of a mask base that conforms to the face, it can be applied as a beauty instrument that conforms to the shape of any part of the body, and is lightweight and operating. Quiet beauty equipment can be provided.

  Furthermore, the structure which employ | adopts the material which has skin adhesiveness in the contact surface with the skin of the said mask base and a sheet | seat base material can transmit efficiently the vibration which a vibration element generate | occur | produces to skin.

  In addition, if the mask base and the sheet base material contain an amino acid or a titanium oxide photocatalyst, or have a heating element that generates heat when energized, the effect on the beautiful face (skin) can be promoted.

(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a facial mask according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the facial mask in FIG. 1A-A (the head is indicated by a dotted line). 3 is an enlarged view of a portion indicated by a circle C in FIG.

  First, molds such as gypsum and silicon are applied to the user's face to mold the face. Then, silicone rubber is poured into the created mold to form a mask base 1 having openings 8, 9, and 10 at positions corresponding to the eyes, mouth and nose.

  Next, the vibration element 2 is disposed at a portion of the mask base 1 where massage is desired. In FIG. 1, two vibration elements 2 are provided in the center portion, but this is an example, and a necessary number of vibration elements 2 are disposed at necessary portions. Then, a button battery 3 for driving the vibration element 2 is disposed in a portion that does not require massage, and a conductive wire 4 is further wired from the button battery 3 to the vibration element 2.

  Note that the vibration element 2 preferably vibrates substantially parallel to the face surface. In this way, since the stimulation by vibration is only transmitted to the skin surface via the mask base 1, it does not cause irritation unlike the method using the electric pulse described above. As the vibration element 2 that vibrates substantially parallel to the face surface in this way, for example, in a button-type case, the center of gravity is centered on the rotation axis in the thickness direction of the case (substantially perpendicular to the face surface). It is possible to use a vibration motor or the like having a structure that generates vibration by rotating the rotor with the biased.

  Similarly to the vibration element 2, the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5 is disposed in a portion where massage is not required, and a conductor 4 ′ is further wired from the button battery 3 to the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5. In FIG. 1, the conductor 4 ′ is wired via the vibration element 2, but this is not intended to be limited to this shape, and wiring without waste is performed according to the part to be massaged.

  In addition to this, as shown in FIG. 3, a mask base 6 having ridges 7 on one side is prepared. This is formed, for example, by applying silicon rubber to a base having a large number of holes. The size of the ridge 7 is not particularly limited, but if the main purpose is to remove wrinkles on the face, a diameter of about 1 mm and a height of about 1.5 mm are suitable. Then, the mask base 6 is appropriately cut and pasted from above the vibration element 2, the button battery 3, the conductive wires 4, 4 ′, and the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5 so as to cover the face of the mask base 1. The pasting is performed in such a direction that the heel 7 is in contact with the face.

  Finally, the mask bases 1 and 6 are bonded and integrated by heating the created mask. This completes the facial mask of the present invention.

  According to the above configuration, a desired portion of the face is massaged by the vibration element 2. Since the muscle of the desired location can be stimulated by the vibration of the vibration element 2, there is also an effect that the muscle can be tightened by burning fat as in the case of exercising.

  Further, the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5 generates negative ions from moisture on the skin surface, and can have an effect of relaxing. In addition, when the mask base 1 and the mask base 6 are formed, the generation of negative ions can be further increased by mixing the tourmaline ore in the form of granules into the mask base.

  In the above description, the mask base 6 having the ridges 7 on one side is used. However, it is needless to say that a mask base having no ridges may be attached.

  By the way, when performing the above-described mold making, instead of the face, for example, if the mold is taken for any part of the body, such as the neck, the upper arm, the thigh, etc., it closely adheres to the part where the mold was made, It is possible to configure a beauty instrument that can massage a desired location.

  In this beauty instrument, for example, when a part including a joint such as an elbow or a knee is molded, if the structure is provided with an opening that matches the bent part of the joint, the skin is moved when the joint is moved. It can be prevented from peeling off or causing displacement.

  In addition, when wearing the facial mask or the beauty tool, for example, a cosmetic agent containing lotion, collagen, or vitamin C is applied to the contact surface with the skin. The effect that it can permeate more can also be acquired.

  In addition, although the material of the said mask base and a sheet | seat base material is not specifically limited, It is preferable to use the material which has skin adhesiveness. As such a material having skin adhesiveness, an acrylic or polyurethane polymer gel can be used in addition to a silicone resin.

  Moreover, in the above description, from the viewpoint of improving the adhesion, the mask base and the sheet base material dedicated to each user are formed by performing the molding of each user. Of course, it may be used.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 4 is a front view of a facial mask according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the facial mask in FIGS. 4B-B.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the face mask of the present embodiment employs a substantially elliptical sheet-like mask base 11 that can be bent along the face, instead of the above-described three-dimensionally formed mask base 1.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the mask base 11 has a structure in which an adhesive layer 11a having skin adhesiveness and an outer skin layer 11b having no skin adhesiveness are adhered to each other, and the adhesive layer 11a is used on the face. The

  Any material can be adopted as the material of the adhesive layer 11a and the outer skin layer 11b as long as the material has the above-mentioned properties. In the present embodiment, the material of the adhesive layer 11a and the outer skin layer 11b is used. Silicon resin is used. Note that whether or not the silicone resin has skin adhesiveness is caused by the difference in the polymerized structure of the polymer constituting the silicone resin, and the technology for selectively producing such silicone resin is well known. It is not detailed here.

  Further, the thicknesses of the adhesive layer 11a and the outer skin layer 11b are not particularly limited and may be arbitrarily designed. In the present embodiment, the vibration element 2 disposed on the surface of the outer skin layer 11b described later is provided. In order to avoid attenuation of the generated vibration, the thickness of the adhesive layer 11a is set to 1 mm, and the thickness of the outer skin layer 11b is set to 3 mm.

  As in the example shown in FIG. 1, the mask base 11 includes openings 8, 10, and 12 at positions corresponding to the eyes, mouth, and nose. In particular, in the example shown in FIG. 4, in order to increase the contact area between the surface of the nose and the mask base 11, the opening 12 at the position corresponding to the nose corresponds to the ridgeline of the nose and the contour when the nose is viewed from the front. It is a slit. Further, a plurality of cuts 13 for fitting the mask base 11 to the face are provided on the outer periphery of the mask base 11.

  After the mask base 11 having the above shape is formed using, for example, a press die or the like, the vibration element 2, the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5, and the conductive wire 4 are formed on the surface of the outer skin layer 11b as in the first embodiment. Arrange. Then, a mask face 14 created separately from the mask base 11 is pasted on the vibrating element 2, the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5, and the conductive wire 4 disposed on the outer skin layer 11 b of the mask base 11, so that the facial mask Is completed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the above-described vibration motors that are the vibration elements 2 are arranged at four locations of the left and right eyes and the mouth, and the conductor 4 is wired to each vibration element 2 (the electromagnetic wave transmission device 5 is arranged). Not set up.) In addition, the button battery is not disposed on the mask base 11, and the driving power of the vibration element 2 is supplied from the outside of the mask base 11 through the conductor 4.

  According to this configuration, the vibration in the direction parallel to the face generated by the vibration motor is transmitted through the outer skin layer 11b and the adhesive layer 11a of the mask base 11, and vibrates the skin at the position in a direction parallel to the face. At this time, since the adhesive layer 11a adheres to the face, the vibration generated by the vibration element 2 is efficiently transmitted to the face, and in addition to the massage action, the wrinkle removing action due to the skin being stretched by the adhesive layer 11a. Can be obtained. For this reason, it is preferable to arrange | position the said vibration element 2 in the position where wrinkles, such as eyes, a mouth, and a forehead, are easy to produce especially.

  The other actions and effects of the facial mask in the present embodiment are the same as the actions and effects of the facial mask described in the first embodiment.

  In the above description, the vibration element 2 and the like are disposed on the surface of the outer skin layer 11b. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be disposed between the outer skin layer 11b and the adhesive layer 11a. .

  In the example shown in FIG. 4, the conducting wire 4 is connected to the vibrating element 2 disposed at the eye via the vibrating element 2 disposed at the mouth, but the conducting wire 4 is individually connected to each vibrating element 2. Alternatively, different driving power may be supplied to vibrate each vibrating element 2 at a different frequency.

  By the way, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the mask base 11 can be set as the structure containing the amino acid which has a beautiful face (beautiful skin) effect, for example, alanine, leucine, cystine, arginine, glutamic acid, etc. At this time, the amino acid contained in the mask base 11 may be either a single type or a plurality of types.

  The mask base 11 containing an amino acid can be prepared by kneading an amino acid into the raw material of the resin when forming a resin or the like that is a material of the mask base 11. For example, when an amino acid is contained in a silicon resin as described above, since the silicone resin is lipophilic, an amino acid such as an amino acid dissolved in a vegetable oil such as soybean oil containing a large amount of amino acid or a solvent such as silicon oil Knead oil containing.

  At this time, since the amount of the amino acid-containing oil to be kneaded varies depending on the composition of the mask base 11, it cannot be generally stated, but may be in the range of several wt% to several tens wt% with respect to the entire raw material of the mask base 11. preferable. This is because if the content is small, the effect of containing amino acids cannot be obtained, and if the content is large, the hardness of the mask base 11 decreases.

  In this way, the amino acids contained in the mask base 11 are present in a dispersed state in the mask base 11 without binding to the polymer that is the main body of the mask base 11. For this reason, the amino acid in the mask base 11 moves by the action of external force such as bending or vibration applied to the mask base 11. At this time, the amino acid that has reached the surface of the mask base 11 is released from the mask base 11 to the outside.

  Therefore, if the mask base 11 includes an amino acid, amino acids are supplied from the surface of the mask base 11 to the face by the vibration generated by the vibration element 2. A beautiful face (skin) effect can be obtained. In particular, at the position where the vibration element 2 is disposed, the supply of amino acids is promoted, and a higher beauty (skin) effect can be obtained.

  Moreover, since the amino acid contained in the mask base 11 is supplied from the surface of the mask base 11 by an external force applied to the mask base 11 as described above, from the mask base 11 when not in use, the external force is not applied. , Hardly released to the outside. For this reason, according to the said structure, it is possible to maintain the effect | action which the mask base 11 supplies an amino acid for a long period (several years).

  The amino acid may be contained in either the adhesive layer 11a or the outer skin layer 11b. However, if the amino acid is contained in the adhesive layer 11a, the skin adhesiveness may be lowered. It is preferable to contain. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the outer skin layer 11 b includes a convex portion 16 on the surface facing the face (skin) and the adhesive layer 11 a includes a through hole 15 at a position corresponding to the convex portion 16. The mask layer 11 is configured by adhering the adhesive layer 11a and the outer skin layer 11b in a state where the tip of the convex portion 16 inserted into the through hole 15 is exposed on the face. According to this structure, it becomes possible to supply an amino acid from the outer skin layer 11b to the face (skin) without impairing the skin adhesiveness of the adhesive layer 11a.

  On the other hand, in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the mask base 11 may include the heating element 21. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the mask base 11 includes one heating element 21 that passes through the cheek, temple, and forehead on the surface of the outer skin layer 11 b, and generates heat through the electrodes 22 provided at both ends of the heating element 21. Electric power is supplied to the body 21. The configuration of the heating element 21 is not particularly limited, and a thin film resistor such as carbon, a heating wire, or the like can be designed in any arrangement position and shape. Moreover, you may employ | adopt the heat generating body which does not require electricity supply.

  In the above configuration, when electric power is supplied to the heating element 21 from the outside of the facial mask, the heating element 21 generates heat, and this heat is transmitted to the face. That is, by energizing the heating element 21, it is possible to open facial pores and promote sweating.

  In this state, when the vibration element 2 is driven to generate vibration, a beauty effect that removes wastes and the like causing stains from the pores by a synergistic effect of the vibration and the action of the heating element. Can be obtained.

  In the above description, the heating element 21 is configured separately from the mask base 11 and disposed on the mask base 11. However, a resistor powder such as carbon is contained in the mask base 11, and the mask base 11 is included. 11 may be a resistor.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure where the mask base and sheet | seat base material demonstrated above contain a titanium oxide type photocatalyst. Titanium oxide-based photocatalysts emit light and irradiate light to generate negative ions, action to decompose waste on the skin surface, and generate far-infrared rays by receiving heat from the outside. Has an effect.

  For this reason, according to the above configuration, the effect of relaxing by negative ions, the effect of cleaning the skin surface, the effect of opening pores by far infrared rays and promoting sweating, and the vibration generated by the vibration element 2 can be obtained. Due to this synergistic effect, it is possible to obtain a higher beauty (skin) effect.

  Furthermore, if the mask base and the sheet base material are configured to contain an antibacterial agent, propagation of various bacteria can be prevented, and the contact surface with the skin can be kept clean.
