Description

  The present invention relates to a beauty device.

  Conventionally, as one of the devices used for beauty treatment, the skin such as the face, neck and fingers (hereinafter also referred to as a treatment site) is energized to introduce ionized beauty components into the treatment site, or the treatment site. Beauty equipment that removes the waste products of is known.

  Such a beauty device includes an electrode portion that outputs current in a state of being in contact with the treatment site, and a counter electrode portion that has a polarity opposite to that of the electrode portion and is in contact with the skin separated from the treatment site. I have.

  A liquid agent impregnated material impregnated with water or cosmetic liquid is disposed on the surface of the electrode part, and the electrode part and the counter electrode part are interposed between the liquid agent impregnated material and the human body (skin). By energizing, the waste material at the treatment site is captured by the liquid agent-impregnated material, or cosmetic components in the liquid agent-impregnated material are introduced into the treatment site.

  In particular, in recent years, cosmetic devices that have been made smaller and lighter and easier to carry are provided so that wastes can be easily removed and ions can be easily introduced at any time. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). Moreover, even if it is a large-scale thing with which the main body apparatus was separately provided, there exist some which connected the main body casing which has a holding part via the cord.

  According to such a small and lightweight beauty device, the user can easily perform treatment when desired.

  However, according to the above-described conventional beauty device, although it has become easier to handle due to being reduced in size and weight, the usable size of the liquid-impregnated material to be replaced for each treatment is limited, and it is still highly versatile. It was hard to say that it has.

  Specifically, as the liquid agent-impregnated material, commercially available cosmetic cotton (absorbent cotton) that is preliminarily trimmed to a predetermined size is generally used, but each commercially available cotton has different sizes and thicknesses. Therefore, in order to make it possible to easily use the beauty equipment, it is necessary to be able to flexibly handle these cottons.

  However, for example, as shown in FIG. 16A, in the conventional beauty device 100, means for pressure-bonding a liquid agent-impregnated material (for example, cotton 105 (see FIG. 16B)) to the electrode portion 101. However, there is only the locking means 104 for fixing the cover body 102 to the device main body 103. When the liquid agent-impregnated material is thick, it cannot be locked, and conversely, when the cotton is thin, the locking means is sufficient. There was a possibility that the liquid agent impregnated material could not be fixed to the electrode part 101 by pressure bonding.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is a beauty device capable of pressure-fixing and fixing the liquid agent-impregnated material to the electrode portion without being influenced by the size and thickness of the liquid-impregnated material such as cotton. I will provide a.

  The beauty device according to the present embodiment has an electrode part that outputs current for performing beauty on the surface, a power supply part that supplies current to the electrode part, and a gripping part that extends from the electrode part side. A body casing integrally formed, and a cover body having an opening and holding the liquid agent-impregnated material in a state of covering the electrode exposed from the opening, and the cover body includes the body casing In this state, the cover body is gripped together with the gripping portion, and has a gripping region forming portion that presses and holds the liquid agent-impregnated material between the cover body and the main body casing.

  That is, according to the present invention, the liquid agent-impregnated material is disposed between the electrode portion and the opening, and the gripping portion formed on the main body casing and the gripping region forming portion formed on the cover body are gripped so as to be polymerized. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a handy-type beauty device capable of crimping and fixing the liquid agent-impregnated material to the electrode part regardless of the size and thickness of the liquid-impregnated material. .

  Such a beauty device can be used as, for example, a so-called ion cleansing device that is applied to a beauty device using an electrical force and that, for example, derives waste products of the skin by the force of ions.

  In addition, the beauty device according to the present eight embodiments is not limited to the above-described ion cleansing device, and the ionized component contained in the liquid agent-impregnated material such as cotton is supplied to the treatment portion by the current (pulse current) from the electrode portion. It goes without saying that it is also suitable for a so-called ion introducer to be introduced.

  Here, the treatment site is not particularly limited, but when the beauty device according to the present invention is used as an ion cleansing device as in the present embodiment, for example, the user removes waste from the skin. It will be the place you want. In particular, the skin can be used as long as it does not consist of mucous membranes or the like and is a face or a hand.

  The same applies when the beauty device according to the present invention is used as an iontophoresis device, and the treatment site is not particularly limited, and the face can be particularly effectively mentioned.

  Further, the liquid agent-impregnated material is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that can be impregnated with the liquid agent, and may be any of cloth, cotton (absorbent cotton), sponge, gel body, non-woven fabric, etc. formed in a substantially sheet shape. There may be.

  Moreover, the liquid agent impregnated in the liquid agent-impregnated material is not particularly limited as long as it is a conductive liquid agent, and water, an ionized component solution (electrolyte solution), lotion, cleansing liquid, or a mixed solution thereof is used. be able to.

  In addition, the liquid agent-impregnated material can have any shape such as a rectangular shape, a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, and the size can be appropriately sized.

  Further, in the conventional cosmetic device, the thickness of the liquid agent-impregnated material that can be disposed in the electrode portion has a limit of, for example, up to 5 mm. However, according to the beauty device according to the present invention, the liquid agent-impregnated material is coated with the liquid agent-impregnated material. As long as the electrode part can be exposed from the opening, the thickness is not limited.

  In particular, examples of the ionization component contained in the ionization component solution include ionized vitamins and minerals.

  The electrode portion provided on the surface of the main casing is formed of conductive metal or resin. Similarly to the electrode part, the counter electrode part is also made of conductive metal or resin, and is configured to be energized, but has a polarity opposite to that of the electrode part.

  And by applying an electrode part to skin (treatment site | part) through a liquid agent impregnation material, the electric current output from the electrode part will flow to a counter electrode part through a human body through a liquid agent impregnation material.

  That is, due to the potential gradient between the electrode part and the skin, the waste product of the skin is adsorbed to the liquid agent-impregnated material, or the ionized component in the liquid agent-impregnated material is allowed to penetrate into the treatment site.

  At this time, the electrode portion may be configured to output a smooth current, but is preferably configured to output a pulse (pulse current). Each condition such as the amplitude and duty ratio of the pulse is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately selected according to specifications and use conditions.

  This pulse may be formed by converting the current supplied from the power supply unit by the pulse output unit. In addition, the power supply unit may be a rechargeable battery other than a dry battery, and it is assumed that the power supply unit is built in even a main body casing that is directly connected to a commercial power supply or that is connected by a cord or the like from a separately provided large device.

  Further, as a characteristic configuration in the present invention, in order to press and hold the liquid agent-impregnated material between the cover body and the main body casing, a grip portion is provided on the main body casing, while a grip region forming portion is provided on the cover body.

  That is, by holding both the grip region forming portion of the cover body and the grip portion of the main body casing together, the liquid agent impregnated material is sandwiched between the cover body and the main body casing, and the liquid agent impregnated material is the electrode portion. It is made to press and fix to.

  Although the cover body and the main body casing may be configured separately, a pivotal support portion is provided as in the embodiments described later, and for example, both the cover body and the main body casing function as a tongue. It is also possible.

Therefore, the liquid agent-impregnated material can be pressure-bonded and fixed to the electrode part relatively without being influenced by the size and thickness of the liquid agent-impregnated material, and the usability can be extremely improved.

  Moreover, it is good to form the counter-electrode part electrically connected with the said electrode part via a user's body in the side wall surface part of a holding part.

  By forming the counter electrode portion not only on the side wall surface portion of the grip portion but also on the back surface side, the grip posture for maintaining the sandwiched state between the cover body and the main body casing ensures that the counter electrode portion contacts the fingers. This leads to a posture and eliminates the need to consciously contact the counter electrode portion visually.

  Further, when the user grips the gripping portion and the gripping area forming portion at the same time, a force that repels the elasticity of the liquid-impregnated material to be sandwiched is generated on the back side of the gripping portion. The counter electrode part comes into contact firmly and can be energized reliably.

  Further, the length of the cover body is preferably at least half the length of the main body casing. With this configuration, the grip region forming portion provided in the cover body can be enlarged, and the liquid-impregnated material placed on the electrode portion by gripping it with fingers can be easily held. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to directly press the liquid agent-impregnated material, the liquid agent-impregnated material can be brought into close contact with the electrode portion without applying excessive tension.

  Moreover, it is desirable to form a protrusion on the edge of the main body casing or on the inner side of the opening. In this case, the contact force between the liquid agent-impregnated material and the opening is increased, and the wearability is improved. The shape of the protrusion may be continuous, intermittent, or wavy.

  Moreover, you may make it form the length of a cover body in substantially the same length as a main body casing. By setting it as such a structure, it can further prevent that excessive tension | tensile_strength acts on the liquid agent impregnated material mounted in the electrode part, and can make a liquid agent impregnated material contact | adhere to an electrode part.

  In addition, the cover body has a flange portion that is bent inwardly at the outer edge of the cover plate in which the opening is formed, and when the liquid agent-impregnated material is pressed and held, the cover body except the position where the counter electrode portion is disposed. You may prescribe | regulate the width | variety of a cover plate so that a predetermined | prescribed clearance gap may be formed between a collar part and the side wall surface part of a main body casing.

  That is, when the main body casing and the cover plate are polymerized, a gap for introducing the liquid agent-impregnated material may be formed between the peripheral main body casing and the cover plate where the opening is formed.

  With such a configuration, the liquid agent-impregnated material pressed onto the electrode portion by the cover body passes through a gap formed between the main body casing and the collar portion of the cover body depending on the size, and passes through the back surface of the main body casing. For example, when the user brings the electrode part (liquid-impregnated material) into contact with the skin near the eyes of the face, the liquid-impregnated material that protrudes from the cover body enters the eyes. Can be prevented. Furthermore, when the liquid agent-impregnated material enters the gap, the pressure-bonding force to the electrode by the cover body increases.

  Moreover, since the position where the counter electrode part of the side wall surface part is disposed is not covered with the collar part, when the main body casing is gripped with the cover body, the counter electrode part smoothly and reliably comes into contact with the hand. Further, when the cover body is opened / closed and attached / detached to / from the main body case for mounting the liquid agent-impregnated material, the mounting operation of the liquid agent-impregnated material can be performed while holding the side wall surface portion of the main body case.

  Moreover, you may connect the said cover body to the said main body casing so that opening and closing is possible via a pivot.

  With this configuration, the liquid-impregnated material can be easily disposed on the electrode portion by opening the cover body, and the liquid can easily be impregnated by closing the cover body. The material can be crimped and fixed to the electrode part. In addition, it is desirable to press the liquid-impregnated material with the cover body in a substantially horizontal direction with respect to the main body casing from the viewpoint of the tensile force applied to the liquid-impregnated material at the time of clamping, the frictional force with the edge of the opening, and the position shift. . Also in that respect, as described above, when the cover body is at least half the length of the main body casing, the angle of the cover body with respect to the main body casing should be as small as possible when the electrode portion starts to pass through the opening. As a result, the cover body can be brought as close as possible to the state pressed against the main body casing in a substantially horizontal direction.

  As for the position of the pivot portion, it is more preferable that the electrode portion is provided on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the main body casing surface, and the pivot portion is provided on the other end in the longitudinal direction of the main casing. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 7, the recessed part formed in the position which avoided the side wall surface part is also desirable. In this case, the pivotal support portion is hidden from the surface, and the hand does not come into contact with the main casing, so that the cover body can be opened and closed more smoothly. Further, since it is protected against external force, a simplified structure can be adopted when, for example, an engaging portion having a spring property is provided in order to facilitate detachment from the cover body.

  Of course, the pivotal support portion is not limited to the configuration provided at the end portion on the opposite side of the position of the electrode portion as described above, but will be described later with reference to FIG. 13, but may be provided at the end portion on the same side as the electrode portion. . The electrode portion does not need to be provided at the end portion, and may be located slightly away from the end portion. For example, the electrode portion may be formed at the center of the main body casing.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, the position of the pivotal support portion may be provided on a side portion along the longitudinal direction of the main body casing.

  If the position of the pivot part is on the same side as the electrode part, there is an effect that a sufficient clamping force can be applied with a weak gripping force. There is an effect that the amount of movement can be reduced.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment as shown in FIG. 3, the beauty device body and the cover body are curved in order to make the electrode portion easily contact the treatment portion, and the protruding direction of the electrode portion is directed outward. In this case, if the position of the pivot portion is on the same side as the electrode portion, the rotation trajectory centered on the pivot portion and the protruding direction of the electrode portion substantially coincide, which is convenient.

  With this configuration, the turning radius of the cover body can be increased, and when the electrode portion on which the liquid agent impregnated material is placed passes through the opening of the cover body, the peripheral end portion of the opening is the liquid agent. Since it comes into contact with the impregnated material substantially in parallel, as described above, it is possible to effectively prevent an excessive tensile force from being applied to the liquid agent-impregnated material at the time of clamping and a displacement.

  It should be noted that an elastic body may be disposed on the pivotal support so as to bias the cover body away from the main body casing, or to bias the main body casing and the cover body in the overlapping direction. .

  For example, in the case where an elastic body that biases the cover body away from the main body casing is provided in the pivotal support section, when the liquid agent impregnated material is inserted into the electrode section, the user holds the cover body apart. It can be omitted.

  In addition, when an elastic body that biases the body casing and the cover body in the direction in which the main body casing and the cover body overlap is provided at the pivotal support section, the liquid agent-impregnated material can be securely held between the beauty equipment even when the user's grip is small. Can do.

  In addition, the beauty device according to the present invention is often in a state in which the opening of the cover body and the electrode portion are fitted via an elastic liquid-impregnated material during use, and the gripping force due to gripping is obtained. It is characterized in that unnecessary opening and closing hardly occur even if it is not obtained.

  However, when the beauty equipment is not used, the separation preventing effect due to the fitting with the liquid agent impregnating material may not be obtained. Therefore, in order to prevent unnecessary opening and closing of the main body casing and the cover body, Alternatively, a lock mechanism for locking the cover body to the main body casing may be provided on the pivot support portion. When the lock mechanism is provided in the grip region forming portion, the lock mechanism is reinforced by the grip force during use, and the effect of preventing separation from the liquid-impregnated material is improved.

  In addition, in order to make the lock mechanism act when mating with an actual liquid agent impregnated material other than when not in use, it is necessary to cope with the difference in opening and closing angles due to the difference in thickness of the liquid agent impregnated material. In the case where the portions are in the most distant positional relationship, if a lock mechanism is provided at a position as far as possible from the electrode portion, there is an advantage that the difference in the opening / closing angle is hardly affected. In Example 1 to be described later, a lock mechanism is provided at the pivotal support portion to absorb the difference in thickness of the liquid agent-impregnated material in the electrode portion due to the bending of the cover body, and the force generated by the contact with the skin during treatment in the electrode portion is gripped. It is absorbed by the human body by gripping at the region forming part, and the influence on the lock mechanism is reduced.

  Moreover, the said electrode part can be made into a truncated cone shape. With this configuration, when the electrode part (liquid agent impregnated material) is brought into contact with the face, it can be fitted to curves and irregularities such as the nose and the corners of the eyes, and can be easily treated to every corner. Can do.

  Hereinafter, the beauty device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an appearance of a beauty device A according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the beauty device A according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the beauty device A according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a rear view of the beauty device A according to the present embodiment.

  First, the outline | summary of the beauty apparatus A is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 1, the beauty device A according to the present embodiment has a substantially long rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and has a shape that is slightly curved in an arc shape when viewed from the side. The electrode portion 11 that outputs a current for performing beauty treatment is exposed and formed.

  As will be described in detail later, the electrode part 11 is a part for placing a liquid-impregnated material such as cotton and holding it in the beauty device A so as to contact the user's treatment part for treatment. .

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the beauty device A includes a beauty device body 10 provided with the electrode portion 11 and a substantially elliptical opening 12 that exposes the electrode portion 11. And the cover body 13 curved in an arc along the beauty device body 10, and the pivot portion 22 formed by combining the beauty device body 10 and the cover body 13 and combining the lower ends of both. The beauty device A is constructed by pivoting slightly toward the center in the width direction.

  In addition, as one of the characteristic features of the present invention, the beauty device A forms the gripping portion 17 on the beauty device main body 10 and forms the grip region forming portion 34 on the cover body 13, so that the user can grip The beauty device A is used by holding the part 17 and the cover body 13 at the same time.

  That is, the beauty device A according to the present embodiment rotates the cover body 13 away from the beauty device body 10 with the pivotal support portion 22 as the center, and the liquid agent impregnated material previously impregnated with the liquid agent is applied to the electrode portion 11. After the placement and rotation of the cover body 13 to polymerize the beauty device body 10, the user grasps the grasping portion 17 and the grasping region forming portion 34 together, and applies the liquid-impregnated material (electrode portion) to the treatment site. 11) is contacted to perform treatment.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, the beauty device A shown here is formed by curving the main body shape in a bow shape so as to protrude toward the electrode portion 11 side. ) Is in contact with the treatment site, the hand holding the beauty device A does not come into contact with the skin in the vicinity of the treatment site.

  That is, the hand holding the beauty device A during treatment is separated as much as possible from the skin surface. Moreover, when the electrode part 11 (liquid agent impregnation material) is made to contact a face, there exists an advantage that the beauty apparatus A can be hold | gripped, making a wrist as natural an angle as possible, without imposing a burden on a user's wrist.

  Next, the configuration of the beauty device body 10 and the cover body 13 constituting the beauty device A will be described individually.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the beauty device body 10 includes a body casing 14 that forms an appearance. Further, the main body casing 14 is provided with an electrode portion 11 for outputting a current for performing cosmetics on the surface 15.

  The electrode part 11 is arrange | positioned in the main body upper end part 18 vicinity of the beauty apparatus main body 10, and is formed in the external appearance substantially frustoconical shape with the electroconductive material.

  The main body casing 14 is formed by integrally forming a grip portion 17 extending from the electrode portion 11 side toward the lower end portion 19 of the main body, and the length of the grip portion 17 in the longitudinal direction is that of an adult palm. It is almost the same as the width.

  Concave portions 20 and 20 are formed in the width direction of the end portion of the main body lower end portion 19 of the main body casing 14 slightly from the center, and in the concave portions 20 and 20, pivot support holes 21 and 20 provided in the cover body 13 are formed. Pivot support shafts 23, 23 are formed so as to be loosely fitted to 21 and form a pivotal support portion 22 (described later).

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, an operation unit 25 for operating the beauty device A is disposed on the back surface of the main casing 14.
As shown in FIG. 3, a counter electrode portion 26 that is electrically connected to the electrode portion 11 via the user's body is disposed on the side wall surface portion 49 of the main body casing 14.

  The power supply unit 16 is provided as a rechargeable battery (not shown) in the main body casing 14 and can be charged via a charging connection port 60 shown in FIG. The power supply unit 16 supplies power to a circuit board disposed inside the main casing 14.

  The operation unit 25 is disposed on the main body upper end 18 side on the back surface of the main body casing 14, and the operation unit 25 includes a power lamp 30 that displays ON / OFF of the power supply of the beauty device A, and the beauty device A. A power switch 31 for switching on / off of the power source and a strength switch 32 for switching the magnitude of the current conducted between the electrode unit 11 and the counter electrode unit 26 are provided.

  The power lamp 30 and the switches 31 and 32 are also connected to a circuit board built in the main casing 14 in the same manner as the power supply unit 16, and various signals are sent from the switches 31, 32 and 33 to the circuit board 29. By transmitting, the beauty device A can be controlled. The circuit board 29 will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Two counter electrode portions 26 are arranged from the back surface 24 of the main body casing 14 along the side wall surface portion 49 of the main body casing 14, and the user grips both the grip portion 17 and the grip region forming portion 34. By doing so, the finger is brought into contact with the counter electrode portion 26.

  Further, when focusing on the side wall surface portion of the beauty device main body 10 (main body casing 14), the main body shoulder portion 35 is formed by slightly narrowing the left and right width direction of the beauty device main body 10, and the lower side of the main body shoulder portion 35 is defined as a boundary. Is the gripping part 17 and the upper part is the narrow part 36.

  Further, the shape of the narrow portion 36 in the front view is a substantially similar shape that is slightly smaller than the shape of the upper portion of the cover body 13 in the front view (about the thickness of the liquid-impregnated material).

  A side wall surface portion 49 of the narrow portion 36 is provided so that a gap (leading space V) is formed between the side wall surface portion 49 of the cover body 13 described later and the liquid-impregnated material protrudes to the back side of the beauty device A. It is what was done. As is apparent from FIGS. 3 and 10, the flange portion 42 is formed so as to avoid the position where the counter electrode portion 26 of the side wall surface portion 49 is disposed. When the body casing 14 and the cover body 13 are gripped simultaneously, the flange portion 42 is formed. The collar part 42 of the cover body 13 does not disturb the contact between the fingers and the counter electrode part 26.

  In addition, 60 shown in FIG. 10 is a connection port with the commercial power supply for charge.

  Next, the cover body 13 that makes a pair with the beauty device body 10 will be described. The cover body 13 includes a cover plate 41 having an upper end 40 formed in a substantially semicircular arc shape, and an outer edge of the cover plate 41 facing inward. It is comprised with the collar part 42 formed by bending.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the length of the cover body 13 in the longitudinal direction is substantially the same as the length of the main body casing 14 in the longitudinal direction, and the electrode portion 11 starts to pass through the opening portion 12. The angle θ of the cover body 13 with respect to the main body casing 14 can be made as small as possible, and is as close as possible to the state in which the cover body 13 is pressed against the main body casing 14 in a substantially horizontal direction.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the beauty device main body 10 and the cover body 13 are curved so that the electrode portion 11 is easily brought into contact with the treatment portion, and the protruding direction of the electrode portion 11 is directed outward.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the rotation trajectory of the opening 12 around the pivotal support portion 22 and the protruding direction of the electrode portion 11 do not coincide with each other, but the shape of the electrode portion 11 is a frustoconical shape and the opening 12 is smooth. Promotes insertion.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the cover plate 41 has a circular or substantially elliptical opening 12 in the vicinity of the upper end portion 40 with the long axis in the longitudinal direction in front view in order to expose the electrode portion 11. The opening 12 is located at a position corresponding to the electrode portion 11 disposed in the beauty device main body 10.

  That is, the electrode part 11 is formed so as to protrude from the opening part 12 when the beauty device main body 10 and the cover body 13 are in a superposed state.

The elliptical shape of the opening 12 can be appropriately set depending on the length from the electrode part 11 to the pivotal support part 22 and the size of the electrode part 11.

  In the present embodiment, the top planar shape of the opening 12 and the electrode portion is an elliptical shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the cover body. A protrusion 61 is formed on the edge of the opening 12, and in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the protrusion is smaller than the flange 42 in the same direction as the flange 42. The shape of the protrusion 61 may be continuous, intermittent, or wavy.

  Further, the collar portion 42 in the vicinity of the lower end portion 43 of the cover body is provided with pivot holes 21 and 21 for loosely fitting pivot shafts 23 and 23 projecting into the recesses 20 and 20 of the beauty device body 10. In addition, the pivotal support portion 22 is formed by inserting the pivotal support shafts 23 and 23 into the pivotal support holes 21 and 21.

  The beauty device A according to the present embodiment is formed by pivotally supporting the cover body 13 on the beauty device body 10 having the above-described configuration.

  In other words, the beauty device main body 10 and the cover body 13 are connected to each other at the lower end portion thereof via the pivotal support portion 22, and the cover body 13 is in the left-right direction (the width of the beauty device A). It is formed so as to be rotatable (openable and closable) within a predetermined range in the arc direction of the axis toward the direction. In the following description, the state where the cover body 13 is rotated with respect to the beauty device body 10 about the pivot portion 22 and the beauty device body 10 and the cover body 13 are superposed is called a closed state. The state where 10 and the cover body 13 are separated is referred to as an open state.

  Characteristically, when the user grips the cover body 13 and the grip portion 13 in the grip region forming section 34, the cover body 13 is closed with respect to the beauty device main body 10. That is, the beauty device A according to the present embodiment places the liquid agent-impregnated material on the electrode part 11 and the user grips the grip region forming part 34, so that the beauty device body 10 and the cover with the pivotal part 22 as an axis are covered. The body 13 is closed and the liquid-impregnated material is sandwiched between tongs (tweezers). The shape of the cover body only needs to be a shape that does not cover the counter electrode portion 26 of the side wall surface portion 49 in the grip region forming portion 34, and those having a narrower width or a rod shape than the present embodiment are conceivable. In the case of a rod, there may be one pivot.

  Next, the procedure for actually using the beauty device A will be described further to describe the characteristic configuration of the beauty device A. First, as shown in FIG. A liquid agent impregnated material preliminarily impregnated with the liquid agent is disposed on the electrode portion 11. FIG. 5 is a perspective view when the beauty device A according to the present embodiment is opened.

  Next, when the cover body 13 is gradually approached to the beauty device main body 10, the cover body 13 comes into contact with the liquid agent-impregnated material 44.

  Further, the user grips the gripping part 17 and the cover body 13 together in the gripping area forming part 34, whereby the liquid agent impregnated material 44 is pressed against the electrode part 11 and at the same time the liquid agent impregnated material 44 covers the electrode part 11. In this state, it is exposed from the opening 12 while being fixed by crimping.

  At this time, when a cross section in the left-right width direction in the vicinity of the electrode portion 11 is seen, a lead-out space V is formed between the beauty device body 10 and the cover body 13 as shown in FIG. Due to this lead-out space V, it protrudes toward the back side along the side wall surface portion 49 of the beauty device main body 10.

  Here, referring to the sandwiching form of the liquid agent impregnated material in the conventional beauty device, since the lead-out space V is not formed as shown in FIG. 16B, the liquid agent impregnated material 105 is formed on the outer surface of the beauty device 100. It turns out that it protrudes toward.

  When the liquid agent impregnated material 105 protrudes from the outer surface of the beauty device 100 in this way, for example, when the user is treating the vicinity of the eyes, the end of the liquid agent impregnated material 105 protruding to the side enters the eyes. There is a risk of getting in the way or getting in the way.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, according to the beauty device A according to the present embodiment, the back space side of the beauty device A is provided by providing the lead-out space V and the surplus portion of the liquid-impregnated material 44 by the collar 42 and the protrusion 61 described above. Therefore, even if the user performs treatment near the eyes, the liquid-impregnated material 44 is not likely to enter the eyes and is safe. Treatment can be performed. In particular, the protrusion 61 described above has an effect of increasing the holding force of the liquid agent impregnating material 44 to the electrode 11.

  As described above, according to the beauty device A according to the present embodiment, the user grips the grip region forming portion 34 and simultaneously contacts the counter electrode portion 26, and the user touches the liquid-impregnated material (electrode portion 11). ) Is brought into contact with the treatment site, and electrical conduction is made between the electrode part 11 and the counter electrode part 26 through the liquid-impregnated material and the human body, and the waste products of the skin are removed, or ionized components are applied to the skin. Can penetrate.

  The structure of the pivot portion 22 will be described more specifically with reference to FIGS. The pivot portion 22 is configured by engaging a pivot hole 21 and a pivot shaft 23 with a recess 20 provided in the main body casing 14, and extends so that the pivot shaft 23 is easily bent in the axial direction with respect to the main body casing 14. Has been issued. Since the pivot shaft 23 bends, the engagement with the pivot hole 21 can be removed relatively easily. Further, since the pivot shaft 23 is provided in the recess 20, it is not directly touched by fingers and the like. Even if the spring pivot shaft 23 is formed with a simple structure as in the present embodiment, it is strong. No problem. Further, the recess 20 is completely cut off from the inside of the main body casing 14, and it is possible to prevent a cosmetic material or the like from entering through the pivot shaft 23. That is, the recess 20 functions as a makeup intrusion prevention reservoir. As can be clearly seen in FIG. 7, the collar portion 42 of the cover body 13 is set so as not to cover the counter electrode portion 26 in the grip region forming portion 34 and is inclined so as to be easily gripped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent finger scissors when the cover body 13 is opened and closed, to make contact with the finger of the counter electrode part 26 more reliable, and to form the cover body 13 along the appearance of the main body casing 14. Further, the lateral displacement of the cover body 13 can be prevented.

FIG. 8 shows an open / close lock mechanism 46 between the cover body 13 and the main body casing 14, and a lock recess 47 provided around the pivotal support hole 21 of the cover body 13 and a lock piece formed in the recess 20 of the main body casing 14. 48 is engaged.
Two lock recesses 47 are provided on the circumference so that the cover 13 can be locked in a substantially open state (a state in which the liquid agent-impregnated material is placed on the electrode portion) and in a substantially closed state (a state in which the liquid agent-impregnated material is sandwiched). I have to.

  In addition, if the lock mechanism 46 is provided on the pivot portion 22 farthest from the electrode portion 11 in this way, the difference in the state between both the state where the liquid agent impregnated material is closed without sandwiching the liquid agent impregnated material and the state where the thick liquid agent impregnated material is interposed is provided. The cover body 13 can be absorbed by bending and can maintain the locked state.

  Next, the internal configuration of the electrode unit 11 provided on the distal end side of the beauty device body 10 will be described. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the inside of the electrode portion 11. In the electrode portion 11, there is an electrode material 54 made of a conductive rubber material and a space S that is recessed in the central portion of the electrode material 54. A vibrating portion 56 is provided. The vibration part 56 includes a motor 52, an eccentric part 53 provided on the front end side of the motor 52, and a motor casing 57. The motor casing 57 and the electrode material 54 are connected to the conductive screw receiving part 55 which is insert-molded in the electrode material. It is fixed by being screwed together with 14.

The screw 58 has conductivity, and thus the circuit board inside the beauty device body 10 and the electrode unit 11 are electrically connected.
The vibration part 56 is screwed at a plurality of positions by screws 58, and the motor 52 and the circuit board are also connected. The vibration of the vibration part 56 adversely affects the locking force of the lock mechanism. However, as described above, the lock mechanism 46 is disposed in the pivotal part 22 farthest from the vibration part 56 and is gripped during use. The vibration is absorbed by the human body, and the influence of the vibration on the lock mechanism 46 can be minimized.

  That is, in the beauty device according to the present embodiment, when the cover body 13 is gripped in a state of being superposed on the main body casing, the electrode portion 11 is disposed above the grip region forming portion 34 and the lock mechanism 46 is disposed below. Therefore, the external force received by the electrode part due to contact with the skin being treated is absorbed by the human body by gripping, and the influence is not transmitted to the lock mechanism 46. However, the vibrating part 56 is provided in the electrode part 11. In this case, the vibration does not affect the lock mechanism 46, and the lock effect during use is particularly excellent.

  Next, a circuit board for controlling the beauty device A housed in the beauty device body 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the circuit board.

  When the pulse output unit 39 receives a signal instructing pulse output from the control unit 38, the pulse output unit 39 receives a current from the power supply unit 16 through the control unit 38, converts it into a pulse, and outputs the pulse to the electrode unit 11.

  The pulse passes through the human body from the electrode part 11 through the liquid agent-impregnated material, and is conducted to the counter electrode part 26 having a polarity opposite to that of the electrode part 11.

  At this time, the waste material impregnated with the liquid agent impregnated material disposed on the surface of the electrode part 11 is sucked from the treatment site and captured.

  Further, here, when the polarity reversing switch 33 is turned ON, the control unit 38 sends a signal for switching the polarities of the electrode unit 11 and the counter electrode unit 26 to the pulse output unit 39.

  As a result, for example, when the liquid agent impregnated material is impregnated with an ionized component, the ionized component having a polarity opposite to the polarity of the electrode portion 11 flows toward the human body side, and the liquid agent impregnated material (electrode portion 11) and The ionized component can be infiltrated into the treatment area to be in contact.

  When the strength changeover switch 32 is turned on, the control unit 38 switches the magnitude of the current supplied from the power supply unit 16 to the pulse output unit 39, and the amplitude of the pulse output from the electrode unit 11 is changed. Become.

  As a result, the adsorbing force when adsorbing the wastes on the liquid agent-impregnated material is adjusted, or the supply amount when supplying the ionized component contained in the liquid agent-impregnated material from the electrode part 11 to the treatment part is increased or decreased Can do. When the vibration switch 59 is turned on, the motor drive unit 29 is driven to apply vibration to the electrode unit 11.

  After performing the treatment in this way, the user shuts off the current supplied from the power supply unit 16 by turning off the power switch 31 to adsorb the waste matter at the treatment site or treat the treatment from the liquid-impregnated material. The flow of ionized components supplied to the site can be stopped.
