Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for an ultrasonic facial beauty device that uses an ultrasonic diaphragm in contact with the skin and uses a skin contact surface of a probe head as a soft pad.

  As a simple facial beauty device that does not use ultrasonic waves, hold a stick-shaped grip on one end of a pad molded from foamed resin in your hand, and impregnate the skin with an appropriate amount of lotion or beauty liquid. Techniques and products that strike and treat and massage are known.

  Conventionally, the head of a probe that directly touches the skin of a facial device or a cosmetic device using ultrasonic waves has been made of a material such as a metal with good ultrasonic propagation characteristics. A gel-like substance called a gel having a gel was applied, and the head of the probe was slid to perform treatments and massages.

  As a patent document, in a cup formed of an elastic member and having an opening, a treatment electrode for passing an electric current to the skin, an ultrasonic oscillation means, a liquid absorbing member for absorbing a conductive liquid, and a pair of these for a cosmetic device A probe technique is known (see Patent Document 1).

  In an ion-implanted skin device equipped with an ultrasonic vibration imparting mechanism, an impregnated member impregnated with an active ingredient for skin beautification is sandwiched between the ion-introduced electrode and a part of the impregnated member is exposed from the opening, A technique is known that includes a lid that is detachable from a casing (see Patent Document 2).

  Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-180843   Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-255018

This has the following problems.
Basic treatments and massages are performed by impregnating a soft foamed resin into a disc-like pad with a cosmetic lotion or beauty liquid for facial beauty, and by tapping the skin with the pad to stimulate it. It is a technology, and some effects can be obtained by using lotion and serum, but it promotes metabolic function to the skin, promotes blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and removes and cleans waste products from skin pores. Satisfactory effects were not expected to be realized.

  The head of the conventional ultrasonic facial beauty device probe is designed to be in direct contact with the skin on the premise that gel is used, so it cannot be used directly with facial beauty lotion or liquid. Later, there was the annoyance that the gel on the skin had to be wiped off.

  Patent Document 1 discloses that a sponge used as a liquid-absorbing member in a cup includes a conductive liquid such as skin lotion contained in a sponge in contact with a treatment electrode, so that a current flowing between both cups is brought into contact with the skin. The skin lotion used and the ultrasonic oscillation means used are indirectly related to the promotion of the cosmetic effect, and the ultrasonic oscillation means It is not a technology that actively engages in skin lotions and engages in it.

  Patent Document 2 locks the impregnated member cotton impregnated with an active ingredient for skin beautification with a lid so as to be exposed from the opening. There was a problem with the annoyance of having to.

In addition, in the ultrasonic vibration by the ultrasonic vibration applying mechanism, since the ultrasonic vibration in the impregnated member uses water as the ultrasonic propagation medium, the water content of the impregnated member is greatly related to the ultrasonic propagation effect, and the water content is If it is less, the moisture will be deficient more quickly due to evaporation and the like, and the ultrasonic wave propagation will be affected.
In this patent document 2, since the impregnation member is locked to the casing with the lid in a pressed state, the moisture content of the impregnation member is limited, and sufficient water content cannot be obtained in the impregnation member, and the water in the ultrasonic propagation medium is reduced. There is a problem that the effective area of ultrasonic propagation on the head surface of the ultrasonic vibration plate that propagates ultrasonic vibration is small, and ultrasonic vibration is difficult to propagate to the skin.
In addition, cotton is used as the material for the impregnated member. Since this material is composed of fine cotton filaments, when the impregnated member is attached and fixed to the casing with a lid, the cotton fiber is laid down by pressing with the lid. The capillary action of water in the ultrasonic propagation medium impregnated in the impregnated member is not effective in the direction of the contact surface with the skin, and the ultrasonic propagation is interrupted without being continuously connected. There was a problem of not being propagated to.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

A pad auxiliary tool is detachably provided on the head vibration plate 5 of the probe main body P, and an open cell foam resin is detachably attached as an ultrasonic wave propagation means and treatment or massage means in contact with the pad auxiliary tool.
The present invention is an ultrasonic facial cosmetic device having the above-described configuration.

Facial beauty lotion and beauty fluids that were not possible with conventional ultrasonic facial beauty devices, as well as facial cleansing and medicinal essences can be used directly. It is possible to perform treatments and massages that make full use of.
In particular, since the components of skin lotion and serum that are effective for facial beauty work directly on the skin with the action of ultrasonic vibration, the effect of facial beauty on the skin originally possessed by skin lotion and serum is sufficient. It comes to be.
In addition, using foamed resin as a foam pad as a treatment means enables soft treatments and massages that are gentle on the skin.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
The head vibration plate 5 of the probe main body P is provided with a metal attachment ring 6 as a pad auxiliary tool in a detachable manner, and an open cell foam as an ultrasonic wave propagation means and treatment means inscribed in the fitted state in the attachment ring 6. The foam pad 10 is detachably attached to the resin as a treatment or massage means for the skin.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a male screw 7 is formed on the outer periphery of the head vibration plate 5, and a female screw 8 screwed to the male screw 7 on the outer periphery of the head vibration plate 5 is formed on the inner periphery of the attachment ring 6. Thus, the attachment ring 6 is detachably attached to the head diaphragm 5 with a screw structure.

  The foam pad 10 formed in a columnar shape has a slightly longer dimension so that the edge of the ring opening 9 of the attachment ring 6 protrudes from the edge.

  The foam pad 10 is attached to the attachment ring 6 so as to be pushed in from the ring opening 9, but the removal from the attachment ring 6 is performed by picking and pulling the protruding portion of the edge of the ring opening 9 with a finger. And leave.

In the present invention, the foam pad 10 uses a foamed resin having an open cell structure, but the foamed resin having the open cell structure has a structure in which the bubbles inside the foam are connected to each other in a chain form. Although it is possible to impregnate the liquid to the inside, the foam of the closed cell structure is formed individually, so that lotion and cosmetic liquid will adhere to the foam surface just inside the foam. It is not suitable for use because it cannot be impregnated.
Even if a foamed resin having an open cell structure is used, emulsions and creams are not suitable for use in the present invention because of poor impregnation into foams.

When using the present invention, the attachment ring 6 is attached to the head diaphragm 5 of the probe main body P, and the foam pad 10 is inserted through the ring opening 9 of the attachment ring 6 so that a beautiful face according to the purpose of use. An appropriate amount of a cosmetic lotion or cosmetic liquid, as well as a facial cleanser or medicinal cosmetic liquid, is poured directly into the foam pad 10 from a cosmetic bottle or a dedicated container and impregnated.
In the treatment and massage, the head diaphragm 5 is not moved so as to be slid by contacting the head with the skin as in the conventional case, but the treatment is performed by moving the foam pad 10 slightly from the skin.

  For those using conventional gels, face washing etc. was necessary after use, but since the face washing is basically unnecessary in the present invention, the active ingredients such as used lotion and cosmetic liquid as well as medicated cosmetic liquid are on the skin. Stay on face and maintain the beauty effect for a long time.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the ultrasonic vibration of the present invention is propagated to the foam pad 10 from the head diaphragm 5 and through the attachment ring 6 screwed to the head diaphragm 5 with a screw structure. The propagation of ultrasonic vibration within the foam pad 10 depends on the water component as a propagation medium.
In the present invention, the urethane foam used for the foam pad 10 is impregnated with liquid such as skin lotion or cosmetic liquid, but the water component impregnated in the open cells of the urethane foam acts as a propagation medium for ultrasonic vibration. Since the propagation of the sonic vibration is performed, the decrease in moisture results in the attenuation of the propagation of the ultrasonic vibration and affects the ultrasonic cosmetic effect during treatment and massage.

Accordingly, since the lotion and the cosmetic liquid in the foam pad 10 are absorbed by the skin or partially evaporated during use, timely rehydration to the foam pad 10 is required.
When the wet feeling of the foam pad 10 is lost during use, the ultrasonic vibration can be obtained by replenishing or replenishing the foam pad 10 with a daily lotion or cosmetic liquid suitable for the skin. It is possible to continue use after the attenuation of propagation is restored.
Although the ultrasonic vibration is partially absorbed and attenuated by the urethane foam, there is almost no influence on the function as a beauty cosmetic device.

Although it is a cosmetic action of ultrasound, it is known that the action of ultrasound on the skin promotes the metabolic function to the skin to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and make it flexible. It is known that the function has the effect of removing wrinkles, slackness and even stains.
It is also known that this metabolic function to the skin has a cleansing effect of sterilizing the skin surface, peeling off wastes, etc., and removing and purifying sebum from the pores of the skin.
Furthermore, it is known that the ultrasonic vibration is converted into thermal energy, thereby improving the flow of blood and lymph and improving metabolism.

  In the present invention, the ultrasonic vibration propagated to the foam pad 10 through the head diaphragm 5 and the attachment ring 6 causes the skin lotion and cosmetic liquid components effective for the beauty of the face to work directly on the skin along with the action of the ultrasonic vibration. Therefore, the effect of the facial beauty on the skin originally possessed by the skin lotion or beauty liquid is fully utilized.

In addition, as a negative cosmetic effect of ultrasonic waves, cavitation occurs due to ultrasonic vibration, and water molecules collide with each other by this cavitation, so that a small amount of peroxide is generated, which rarely causes mild inflammation on the skin. It is known that
Even in the present invention, cavitation occurs inside the foam pad 10, but the soft resin foam structure absorbs the cavitation energy and attenuates or dissipates it, thereby eliminating the influence of the cavitation phenomenon and invalidating it. .

  In the present embodiment, a description will be given of a case where water storage means for keeping the foam pad 10 always wet is provided in the probe body P.

As shown in the exploded cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, a small water storage tank 16 is provided in the probe main body P, and a tube-shaped water conduit 17 penetrates the head vibration plate 5. The tip of 18 is slightly protruded.
With the above structure, since the tip of the water replenishing port 18 is always in contact with the foam pad 10, it is possible to reliably refill the foam pad 10 by capillarity, and through the water conduit 17, fresh water and The foam pad 10 is always kept moist and is kept in use by being always refilled with ionic water or the like.

Water injection into the water storage tank 16 is preferable even with fresh water, but by adding functional water such as ionic water from the water injection port 19, a new effect is given to facial beauty on the skin.
In particular, weakly acidic ionic water is known to have astringent and whitening effects on the skin due to an astringent effect, as well as acne, buckwheat, and stains. By using such weakly acidic functional water, The effect of the beauty of the face is further promoted by the synergistic effect of the ultrasonic effect together with the lotion impregnated in the foam pad 10.

As shown in the exploded cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, a ring-shaped permanent magnet 11 is fixed partially and fitted inside the attachment ring 6a to constitute the attachment ring 6a.
Although not shown, the attachment ring 6 itself is a magnetic body.

The ring-shaped permanent magnet 11 fitted and fixed to the inside of the attachment ring 6a has a magnet configuration in which both ends of the ring have different N or S poles, and a lightweight, high magnetic density ferrite magnet or the like is used. Suitable, but not necessarily a ferrite magnet.
Ultrasonic vibrations are reliably transmitted to the foam pad 10 if it is a hard magnet, but soft ones such as bonded magnets are not suitable for use because of their poor absorption and propagation efficiency of ultrasonic vibrations.
In addition, in the display of the magnetic force line 12 from the permanent magnet 11 of FIG. 4, since it becomes complicated in the figure, a part of the display is omitted.

The ring-shaped permanent magnet 11 inside the attachment ring 6 and the embodiment in which the attachment ring 6 itself is a magnetic material give a direct magnetic action to the skin.
It is known that the direct action of this magnetism on the skin promotes blood circulation by promoting electrolyte dissociation (ionization) of blood and promotes blood circulation. A synergistic effect that removes wrinkles, slackness, and stains, and a beauty and beauty effect that synergizes the sterilization action of the skin surface layer and the cleaning action of wastes, etc. are obtained.

  When the foam pad 10 is impregnated with the facial cleanser or the like of the present invention, the ultrasonic vibration promotes the penetration into the skin, and waste products and makeup residues clogged in the skin pores, as well as excess Sebum and the like are released and these are attached to the foam pad 10 and taken into and adsorbed into the open cells of the urethane foam.

  In this way, it is difficult to completely remove the waste and the like once adsorbed and collected in the open cells of the urethane foam, and it is difficult to completely remove the foam pad 10 from the structure of open cells. If the amount of water is small, it may be reused after it has been thoroughly rinsed and washed with fresh water and dried.

  The urethane foam used for the foam pad 10 is a suitable material because it has moderate hardness and cushioning properties. However, it can be a material other than urethane foam as long as it is a foam-friendly resin with open cells and is gentle to the skin. Or soft materials may be selected and used.

  Since the attachment ring 6 is detachable from the head diaphragm 5 with a screw structure, the attachment ring 6 is detached so that the inner surface of the attachment ring 6 and the head surface of the head diaphragm 5 can be cleaned. Maintenance and management of cleanliness and hygiene are easy with daily cleaning.

  In the present invention, a screw structure is preferable as a method of attaching the attachment ring 6 to the head diaphragm 5 for reliable fitting and ultrasonic wave propagation. If it is easy, a mounting method other than the screw structure may be used.

  In the embodiment in which the probe main body P is not provided with the water storage tank 16, the conventional usage using the gel by detaching the attachment ring 6 from the head diaphragm 5 is also possible.

Conventionally, the existing facial lotion and cosmetic liquid could not be used with the facial cosmetic device using the ultrasonic technology, but the present invention makes use of the best effect of the cosmetic lotion and cosmetic liquid with the ultrasonic technology. It contributes to skin beauty and health.
In addition, the sense of security that you can use lotions and beauty liquids that you use everyday will also motivate you to purchase, and you will uncover the potential needs for facial beauty to enable usage according to the purpose of use. Can expect new demand and purchases by women of a wide range of ages.

  It is a perspective view of the present invention.   It is sectional drawing of FIG. 1 of this invention.   It is an exploded sectional view showing other examples of the present invention.   It is a partial exploded sectional view showing an example of attachment ring 6a of the present invention.
