Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cosmetic apparatus which can surely bring a part where a chemical is impregnated into contact with a skin of an operation object part even if the operation object part is a face, etc., having irregularity, and thereby can effectively perform the operation by an iontophoresis to the entire operation object part in a short time.SOLUTION: The cosmetic apparatus for impregnating active components of the chemical in a deep part of the operation object part by the iontophoresis has an operation member 5 that is arranged in contact with the skin of the face in use. The operation member 5 includes: a conductor 50 that has an electrode 2 and is for applying an current to the chemical; and a chemical impregnation section 51 that is located on one side of the conductor 50 and, for impregnating the chemical, at least a portion of which, excluding a portion corresponding to the electrode 2, consists of a foaming low-resilience material.

Description

  The present invention relates to a cosmetic device for allowing an active ingredient of an aqueous solution such as a skin lotion (hereinafter referred to as “medical solution”) to penetrate deep into the skin of a treatment target site such as a face by an iontophoresis method.

  Iontophoresis is a type of beauty method that utilizes the flow of current through the human body. A chemical solution is applied to the skin surface, and either the anode (+ electrode) or the cathode (-electrode) is connected to the aqueous solution. The other electrode conductor is brought into contact with the separated skin (for example, a finger), and a weak current (for example, several mA of direct current) is allowed to flow between the electrode conductors for several minutes, so that the chemical solution Penetrates deep into the skin. The iontophoresis method is a cosmetic method that is recognized medically.

  As a conventional beauty apparatus for realizing such an iontophoresis method, as shown in Patent Document 1, a conductive material such as gold, silver, and carbon is bonded to a chemical solution (medicine) impregnated sheet made of nonwoven fabric, paper, cotton, and the like. The thing of the structure of sticking by methods, such as welding and crimping, and making it contact | adhere to a face is known.

  In the case of such a structure, it is uncertain whether the electrode is surely in contact with or connected to the face. Also, there are irregularities on the face, and each person has different irregularities. Depending on the degree of unevenness, the chemical liquid-impregnated sheet alone or the chemical-impregnated sheet in contact with the conductor may float from the face, or a non-contact portion may occur. In such a case, it is necessary to give up the treatment of the non-contact portion or to perform the further treatment of the non-contact portion using another device.

  Further, as shown in Patent Document 2, a chemical solution container and an ion introduction device portion (electric circuit, battery, etc.) are integrated into a single unit, and a sponge-like chemical solution application unit that impregnates the chemical solution from the container is provided as an ion introducer. There is also known a structure that is provided at the tip of the head and is locally treated.

  However, in such a structure, it is possible to perform treatment only on a portion to be treated, but it is difficult to obtain the effect by uniformly treating the skin when it is desired to perform treatment over a wide range. Further, since it is necessary to perform the treatment while holding the device in the hand, it is difficult to continue the treatment because the hand is tired.

JP 2003-38660 A JP-A-8-266328

  In other words, with the structure disclosed in Patent Document 1, the chemical-impregnated sheet does not completely match the shape of the human face, and an ineffective portion is generated. Need to do. If this treatment is used for a long time, there is a risk of causing a skin trouble, and it is impossible to repeat the treatment for the expected time (it is said to be about 10 minutes with a small iontophoresis device). Therefore, complete the entire face in a short time (for example, 5 minutes), add a partial treatment for a short time (for example, 5 minutes) to the part that has not touched, or stop the entire face slightly before the expected time, and leave a little more It is to add a partial treatment, and in any case, a sufficient treatment is not possible.

  Moreover, the trouble of performing partial treatment using another apparatus part is needed. Although it is a device that performs the partial treatment, even if you want to perform treatment only on the part you care about, the face is very uneven, so it cannot be done well. If you do it to your satisfaction, you may injure the skin.

  In addition, it is desirable that the treatment can be performed with an easy posture such as lying down, but the existing device does not have a structure for supporting the face, and it is necessary to support a small device by itself. Further, in the existing structure, it is necessary to hold the electrode conductor constantly during the operation, or to hold it by fixing it to a finger with a belt or the like, which increases the stress during the operation.

  There is also a demand to use as little chemical as possible.

  Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to ensure that the part impregnated with the chemical solution can be brought into contact with the skin of the treatment target part even if the treatment target part is an uneven face, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide a beauty apparatus that can effectively perform the treatment on the entire place to be treated in a short time, and further enables partial treatment only on the local area.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a beauty apparatus capable of performing such an effective treatment by the iontophoresis method comfortably and comfortably with as little stress as possible. is there.

  Furthermore, another further object of the present invention is to provide a cosmetic device that can keep the amount of a chemical solution used to a small amount when performing an effective treatment by an iontophoresis method.

In order to achieve the main object described above, the beauty device of the present invention includes:
In a beauty device for penetrating the active ingredient of a chemical solution into the deep part of the skin of the treatment target site by iontophoresis,
Comprising at least one treatment member placed in contact with the skin in use;
The surgical member is
A conductor having a first electrode for passing a current through the chemical solution;
A liquid impregnated portion that is located on the first side of the conductor for impregnating the chemical liquid, and at least a portion of the portion excluding the portion corresponding to the first electrode is made of a foaming low-resilience material. It is characterized by that.

  According to the present invention, at least a part of the liquid impregnated portion (for example, a portion having unevenness in the treatment target portion or a portion corresponding to the peripheral portion thereof) is made of a foaming low-resilience material. The impregnation part is excellent in holding the chemical solution component, and even if the treatment target part includes irregularities such as a face, the impregnation part is deformed according to its shape and the deformation is maintained. As a result, it is possible to keep the chemical solution impregnated portion in good contact with the entire treatment target portion during the treatment. Therefore, the treatment by the iontophoresis method can be effectively performed on the entire treatment target portion in a short time, and the necessity of performing the treatment again can be eliminated.

  In the present invention, of course, all of the portion excluding the portion corresponding to the first electrode of the chemical solution impregnated portion may be a foaming low repulsive material. In this case, since the shape of the chemical solution impregnated portion can be very well matched with the shape of the treatment target portion, the treatment effect by the ion introduction method can be further enhanced.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one treatment member includes a first treatment member for performing treatment on the entire face.

  In this embodiment, the chemical solution impregnated portion of the first treatment member is made of a low repulsion material, and since this low repulsion material is recessed in accordance with the shape of the face, the chemical solution impregnated portion may be shaped along the face. it can. And since it becomes a shape along a face in this way, a chemical | medical solution impregnation part closely_contact | adheres to the whole face favorably. As a result, the chemical solution can be satisfactorily penetrated into the entire face in one treatment by the iontophoresis method, and therefore in a short time (for example, about 2 minutes).

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the chemical-impregnated portion in the first treatment member is locally provided with the foamable low-resilience material at least at a portion corresponding to the uneven portion of the face or the periphery thereof. . Here, the “uneven portion or its periphery” of the face is, for example, a nose, a cheek, or a chin periphery.

  When ion introduction is performed on the entire face, the portion having the most unevenness is the most difficult to adhere, and by using a low repulsion material, the adhesion is improved and the portion where ion introduction cannot be performed can be eliminated. In this embodiment, since the low-repulsive material is locally provided in a portion corresponding to the uneven portion of the face that is most difficult to closely contact or the periphery thereof, while suppressing the usage amount of the low-repulsive material as much as possible, It is possible to maintain a high adhesion effect to the skin of the chemical solution impregnated portion.

  Further, a thin low-resilience material may be provided not only on the concavo-convex part but also on a fringe line that wrinkles on the face, on the forehead, around the eyes, and the like.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the at least one treatment member further includes one or more types of second treatment members for performing treatment on only a part of the face, and the first treatment member and the second treatment member. The treatment member can be used alternatively.

  In this embodiment, by using one or more types of second treatment members, it is possible to perform treatment mainly on the part of interest. And the chemical | medical solution can permeate | transmit a skin favorably by an iontophoresis by the high adhesiveness by the low repulsion material of the chemical | medical solution impregnation part of a 2nd treatment member. Examples of the portion that is likely to be worried include pores around the nose, frying lines around the mouth, fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles between the forehead and eyebrows, and the like.

  In one Embodiment of this invention, the said 1st treatment member is provided with the cover part which has rigidity on the 2nd side opposite to the said 1st side of the said conductor.

  In this embodiment, since the cover part is provided with rigidity, the pressure applied from the outside of the cover part can be uniformly transmitted to the chemical liquid impregnated part. Therefore, the chemical solution impregnated portion can be brought into contact with the entire face with a little force, and the reliability of the treatment effect on the adhesion and the entire face is further increased. Moreover, comfortable treatment is possible because a partial strong pressure is not transmitted to the face.

  In order to achieve one of the above-mentioned further objects, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first treatment member is provided on the opposite side of the cover portion from the conductor, with respect to a certain surface. The support part which supports a part is provided.

  In this embodiment, a cover part is supported by a support part with respect to a certain surface (for example, the surface of a desk). When the treatment is performed in such a state that the cover portion is supported as described above, the treatment can be performed in a prone state, and the treatment can be comfortably received. In addition, since the low repulsion material constituting the chemical solution impregnated portion is compressed by the weight of the head and naturally fits to the shape of the face, the treatment in the prone position can be performed reliably.

  Moreover, in one Embodiment of this invention, the height of the said support part can be changed so that the angle of the said cover part with respect to the said surface in which the said support part is installed can be adjusted.

  In this embodiment, the angle of the cover part can be set according to the place where the treatment is performed, and the treatment can be performed at an angle according to the place of treatment.

  In other words, if the angle of the cover part is constant and not adjustable, it is a treatment that puts a face in accordance with the angle of the cover part, and the treatment is performed in an unnatural posture depending on the place of the cover part. May be. In the above embodiment, since the cover portion can be changed to a desired angle according to the place where the cover portion is placed, there is no such inconvenience, and a comfortable treatment with a comfortable posture is possible.

  Moreover, in one Embodiment of this invention, the said 1st treatment member is provided with the member which has cushioning properties on the opposite side to the said conductor of the said cover part.

  In this case as well, treatment is performed in a prone state. At this time, a certain degree of angle and unevenness can be absorbed by the member having cushioning properties, and the treatment can be performed easily.

  The member having cushioning properties may be the support member, or may be a member different from the support member.

  Moreover, in one Embodiment of this invention, the said 1st treatment member is equipped with the 2nd electrode of the counter electrode of the said 1st electrode in the surface which does not contact a face.

  Usually, when sleeping on a prone face, it is not uncomfortable to bring your hand near the face, such as putting your hand on a pillow or bringing your hand near the pillow. Therefore, by providing the second electrode on the surface of the first treatment member that does not come into contact with the face, for example, the support portion or the member having cushioning properties, a hand that is in the vicinity of the face without a burden in an uncomfortable posture. Thus, the stress can be relieved and the treatment can be performed in a more relaxed state as compared with the case where the second electrode can be contacted and the second electrode is gripped or fixed to a finger with a belt or the like.

  Further, in order to achieve another further object described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the chemical solution impregnated portion is located on the side close to the skin and has a water-absorbing low resilience material, and on the side far from the skin. It has a low-rebound material that has been waterproofed.

  In this embodiment, the chemical-impregnated portion has a two-layer structure as described above, so that the low-resilience material having water absorption can be made thin. Therefore, since the amount of the chemical solution that can be absorbed by the entire chemical solution impregnated portion is suppressed, the amount of the chemical solution used can be minimized.

  Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the chemical solution impregnated portion comprises a low repulsion material having water absorption on the side close to the skin and a high repulsion material on the side far from the skin and subjected to waterproofing treatment. I have. This configuration is suitable if applied to an embodiment in which the treatment member includes a rigid cover portion and a support portion or a cushioning member that supports the cover portion.

  In this embodiment, similarly to the above-described embodiment, the chemical-impregnated portion has a two-layer structure, so that the low-resilience material having water absorption can be made thin. Therefore, since the amount of the chemical solution that can be absorbed by the entire chemical solution impregnated portion is suppressed, the amount of the chemical solution used can be minimized.

  In addition, the low resilience material has high adhesion to uneven faces, but since it slowly deforms and recovers with changes in load, there is a risk that response will be delayed when the face position moves during surgery due to lying down is there. However, since there is a high repulsion material on the side far from the skin, it is possible to respond quickly with the repulsion of the material. Therefore, especially when performing treatment with lying down, even if the face moves, it is possible to make it difficult for the drug solution impregnated portion to be displaced from the face.

  As is clear from the above, the cosmetic device of the present invention has at least a part of the chemical solution impregnated part in the treatment member (for example, a part having unevenness in the treatment target part or a part corresponding to the peripheral part). By using a material with low resilience, the chemical solution impregnated part is excellent in holding chemical solution components, and even if the treatment target part contains irregularities such as a face, it deforms according to its shape, and the deformation is retained. Is done. As a result, the medical solution impregnated portion can be reliably kept in contact with the entire treatment target portion during the treatment. Therefore, the treatment by the iontophoresis method can be effectively performed on the entire treatment target portion, for example, the entire face in a short time, and the necessity of performing the treatment again can be eliminated.

  In addition to the first treatment member for treating the entire face, the beauty device of the present invention includes a second treatment member that performs treatment by contacting only a part of the face, and the first treatment member and the above-described treatment device. By allowing the second surgical member to be used alternatively, it is possible to perform the treatment locally with a focus on only the part of interest.

  In addition, the beauty device of the present invention includes a cover portion in which the first treatment member for treating the entire face has rigidity, a support portion for supporting the cover portion, and a member having cushioning properties. Therefore, it is possible to perform treatment in a prone state, and it is possible to realize a comfortable treatment with an easy posture. Further, since the first treatment member is provided with the second electrode on the surface that does not come into contact with the face, the stress is relieved as compared with the case where the second electrode is gripped or fixed to a finger with a belt or the like. It is possible to perform a comfortable treatment in a more relaxed state.

  Furthermore, the cosmetic device of the present invention has two layers of a liquid-impregnated portion consisting of a low-resilience material having water absorption on the side close to the skin and a waterproof material on the side far from the skin. By adopting a structure, the chemical solution to be included can be reduced. In addition, when the treatment member includes a rigid cover portion and a support portion or cushioning member that supports the cover portion, a material that is waterproof from the side far from the skin is treated with low repulsion. By using a highly repulsive material instead of the material, in addition to the effect of reducing the amount of chemical liquid to be contained, the chemical liquid-impregnated portion can be made difficult to shift from the face, particularly when performing treatment with lying down.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In the drawings and the following description, parts and members having the same or similar basic functions will be denoted by common reference numerals regardless of differences in shapes and materials.

(First embodiment)
First, the basic configuration of the beauty device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The beauty device of the present invention has an electric circuit unit 1 having an operation knob and the like, and a plurality of (only two are shown in the figure, but may be more) first electrodes 2. The treatment member 5 connected to the electric circuit unit 1 via the electric path (wire) 3 and the first electrode 2 are counter electrodes, and are electrically connected via the electric path (wire) 3 of another system. A second electrode 6 connected to the circuit portion 1 is included. The second electrode 6 has a shape that can be easily grasped with the finger 7 and is hereinafter referred to as a body electrode 6.

  The electric circuit section 1 has a function of flowing a weak current (about several mA) and can flow a direct current, an alternating current, a pulse current, or the like. Moreover, it has battery functions, such as a battery, and can also take power from AC power supply.

  The treatment member 5 is an example of a first treatment member for performing treatment on the entire face, and includes a conductor 50 for passing an electric current through the drug solution, and a side closer to the treatment target portion of the conductor 50 (first side). ) And a cover portion 52 (on the side farther from the treatment target location of the conductor 50 (second side) and covering the entire face that is the treatment target location ( 3 and 4). And these chemical | medical solution impregnation part 51, the conductor 50, and the cover part 52 are adhering mutually, and the opening part 53 is provided in the position corresponding to eyes, nose, and a mouth, respectively. The chemical solution impregnation part 51 is attached to the cover part 52. In addition, the said 1st electrode 2 is formed in the conductor 50, and is hereafter called the electrode 2 for conductors.

  The chemical liquid impregnated portion 51 is made of a foaming low-resilience material, at least a portion of the portion excluding the portion corresponding to the conductor electrode 2. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the entire portion excluding the portion corresponding to the conductor electrode 2 is made of a foaming low-resilience material, and accordingly, the conductor 50 is also substantially the entire region excluding the outer peripheral portion of the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51. Is provided.

  By using the low repulsion material for the portion that comes into contact with the face, the low repulsion material is deformed in accordance with the shape of the face, so that the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51 can be shaped along the face. Since it becomes possible to eliminate a portion where ions cannot be introduced by forming a shape along the face, ion introduction of the entire face can be performed by one treatment. On the other hand, if the material of the chemical solution impregnated portion 51 is repellent like an ordinary sponge, the cover portion 52 is lifted up or partially lifted by the repulsive force. In addition, there is a high possibility that a portion such as a nose where ions cannot be introduced into a part of a portion having unevenness is severe. In the present invention, such a problem can be avoided. As for the ion introduction time, it is usually said that the time for performing the treatment with a small cosmetic device is about 10 minutes. However, the small cosmetic device performs partial ion introduction on the entire face, as in the present invention. In addition, when ion introduction is performed on the entire face, the treatment can be performed in about 2 minutes.

  The low resilience material constituting the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51 is often in the form of a foamable material. For example, it is called flexible urethane foam (Reference 1), cross-linked foam of styrenic elastomer (Reference 2), and low resilience foam. Like general urethane foam, it has polyol and polyisocyanate as the main components. A material (reference document 3) that foams by stirring and mixing a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer, a catalyst and the like is desirable. All materials are soft, feel good, stretchable, difficult to tear even when stretched, have both air permeability and cushioning properties, and are excellent in flexibility, so they are suitable for the liquid impregnation part 51 of the present invention. ing. Such a material is characterized by low resilience, and once pressed against the face shape, the same shape can be maintained by the weight of the conductor 50 including the electrode portion 2 and the cover portion 52.

  The chemical liquid impregnation unit 51 can include the chemical liquid in a portion that comes into contact with the face without specially providing the chemical liquid impregnation sheet.

  The conductor 50 may be provided in a portion of the chemical liquid impregnated portion 1 that contacts the face, but may be provided in the cover portion 52 so as to contact the cosmetic liquid that has penetrated the chemical liquid impregnated portion 1. good. Any portion of the cover portion 52 may be used, but in order to ensure that the conductor 50 is brought into contact with the cosmetic liquid, it is desirable that the low repulsion material constituting the chemical liquid impregnation portion 1 is thin. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, it is a low resilience material portion at a position corresponding to the cheek.

  The portion where the face and the conductor electrode 2 are in contact with each other is preferably made of a material that is highly impregnated and easily flows current (for example, non-woven fabric or cotton). A material (for example, titanium, platinum, carbon, etc.) is desirable.

  The cover 52 is made of an insulating material and has no water absorption. Therefore, the chemical liquid absorbed by the chemical liquid impregnation part 51 does not ooze out to the opposite surface of the cover part 52 to which the chemical liquid impregnation part 51 adheres. For such a cover portion 52, for example, a rubber material such as silicon rubber can be used. Further, the thickness does not necessarily need to be a thin sheet, and a certain thickness is better for keeping the shape of the low repulsion material by pressing the low repulsion material.

  In order to match the chemical-impregnated portion 51, the conductor 50, and the cover portion 52 constituting the treatment member 5 to a shape closer to the structure of the face, as shown in FIGS. May be.

  When using the beauty device having the above-described configuration, the conductor electrode 2 is connected to the electric circuit unit 1 through the electric path 3, and the body electrode 6 is connected to the electric circuit unit 1. The practitioner) The person's finger 7 is fixed to the body electrode 6. As a fixing method, it may be fixed by a belt or the like, or the user himself / herself may hold it as shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, the wavy line extending from the finger 7 assumes a circuit flowing through the body, and if connected as described above, one circuit is established when the user's body is considered a resistor. Also, there are various ways of passing the current through which the essence efficiently penetrates, but there are methods suitable for each person, and it cannot be said which method is generally good. As an example, if a positive charge is applied to the body electrode 6, a negative charge is applied to the conductor 50. If a positive charge is applied to the body electrode 6 now, look at the vicinity of the face from a macro viewpoint. The face has a positive charge from the body electrode 6. On the other hand, the cosmetic liquid contained in the paper sheet has a negative charge from the conductor 50. This bipolar charge attracts each other, and the essence penetrates deeply into the skin.

  The beauty device having the above-described configuration can introduce ions into the entire face and is very convenient. In the cosmetic device shown in FIG. 1, the chemical liquid impregnation part 51 is excellent in retaining chemical liquid components by making all the parts of the chemical liquid impregnation part 51 excluding the conductor electrode 2 made of foaming and low repulsive materials. The shape is deformed according to the shape of the face having many uneven portions, which is a treatment target portion, and the deformation is maintained. As a result, it is possible to keep the chemical solution impregnated portion 51 in good contact with the entire face during facial treatment. Therefore, the chemical liquid can be satisfactorily penetrated into the entire face only by performing one treatment by the iontophoresis method. That is, the treatment by the iontophoresis can be effectively performed on the entire face in a short time (for example, about 2 minutes), and the necessity of performing the treatment again can be eliminated. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of facial skin troubles.

(Second Embodiment)
In 1st Embodiment, the chemical | medical solution impregnation part 51 of the treatment member 5 is equipped with the low repulsion material in the whole area | region except the electrode 2 for conductors, and a shape is made according to the shape of the whole face. Yes. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, in order to reduce the amount of use of the low repulsion material as much as possible, local areas 511 corresponding to the periphery of the nose, cheeks, and chin where the irregularities in the face are large are locally applied. The material used is low repulsion.

  When ion introduction is performed on the entire face, the portion having the most unevenness is the most difficult to adhere, and by using a low repulsion material, the portion that cannot be ion-implanted can be removed because the adhesion is improved. In the second embodiment, the low repulsion material in the chemical solution impregnated portion 51 is locally provided at a portion 511 corresponding to the uneven portion of the face that is most difficult to be intimately adhered or the periphery thereof. It is possible to maintain a high adhesion effect to the skin of the chemical solution impregnated portion while suppressing the amount of the material used as much as possible.

  Further, not only the uneven portion, but also a thin rebound material is provided not only on the constricted portion but also on the constriction line 511 where the wrinkles are worried on the face, the forehead, the area around the eyes and the like.

  In the second embodiment, as the material of the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51, a low repulsion material and a repellent sponge can be combined. The repulsive material may cause the cover 52 to be lifted by the repulsive force. However, if the amount used is reduced, the cover 52 is kept in a deformed state due to the weight of the cover 52 rather than the repulsive force. Can do.

(Third embodiment)
In addition to the treatment member 5 (see FIGS. 1 to 3) as a first treatment member for treating the entire face of the beauty device according to the first embodiment, the beauty device according to the third embodiment It is a beauty device characterized by having at least one type of topical treatment member as a second treatment member that performs treatment by contacting only a part of the face, and is used by connecting to the treatment member 5 that performs treatment on the entire face. . Here, the description about the treatment member 5 mentioned above is abbreviate | omitted.

  This beauty device treats a part of the face, but is different from a conventional small beauty device as disclosed in Patent Document 2. The conventional small beauty apparatus moves the beauty apparatus according to the shape of the face and performs treatment, and the treatment surface is also almost flat. Such a treatment is difficult to move the beauty device, and it is difficult to reliably perform the treatment by aligning the treatment surface with the fine parts of the facial irregularities. On the other hand, the beauty apparatus according to the third embodiment performs a treatment around a portion that is likely to be anxious, such as pores around the nose, frying lines around the mouth, fine lines around the eyes, and forehead. You can perform treatments such as wrinkles between the eyebrows.

  FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 each show an operation example of the beauty device when a topical treatment member 5a for treating the vicinity of the eyes or the vicinity of the nose is connected.

  The configuration of the topical treatment member 5a is basically the same as the configuration of the treatment member 5 shown in FIG. 1, and includes a chemical solution impregnated portion 51, a conductor 50 including one or more conductor electrodes 2, and a cover portion. 52 (not shown in FIGS. 6 and 7). For the detailed description of these portions, the description in the first embodiment is applied as appropriate, and is omitted here.

  The topical treatment member 5a may be provided as a separate part from the treatment member 5, or the treatment member 5 may be configured to be divided, and the divided portion may be used as the local treatment member 5a. .

  In each of the local treatment members 5 a, the dimensions of the chemical liquid impregnated part 51 are slightly larger than the cover part 52, and the outer peripheral part of the chemical liquid impregnated part 51 is slightly from the edge of the cover part 52, although it is not clear from FIGS. It is supposed to stick out. Thereby, when the local treatment member 5a is connected, the chemical liquid impregnated portion 51 has a structure in which no gap is generated.

  When the treatment member 5 can be divided, the beauty device is configured by connecting the terminal of the electric path 3 connected to the electric circuit unit 1 to the conductor 50 of each local treatment member 5a. When the parts for the local treatment member 5a are separately provided, the terminal of the electric path 3 connected to the electric circuit unit 1 may be connected to the conductor 50 of each local treatment member 5a. The terminal of the electrical path 3 connected to the conductor 50 of the treatment member 5a may be connected to the electrical circuit unit 1.

  In the third embodiment, by providing the local treatment member 5a, when it is desired to perform treatment only on the portion of interest, it is possible to reliably perform treatment of the portion of interest.

  Here, FIG. 5 shows the local portion 511 that is actually required to be provided with the low repulsion member of the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51 in the second embodiment, but this figure is borrowed for convenience. Then, in this 3rd Embodiment, the multiple types of local treatment member 5a for treating only these local parts 511 is prepared. Therefore, by using these topical treatment members 5a, it is possible to perform a treatment that concentrates only on the part of interest as shown in FIG. As for the treatment method, it is possible to treat only each part or to treat a plurality of places simultaneously. When a plurality of locations are used, the electrical path 3 can be connected to each of the local portions 511. In addition, the electric circuit unit 1 has a structure capable of connecting a plurality of electric paths 3.

(Fourth embodiment)
The fourth embodiment is different from the first to third embodiments in that the cover portion 52 of the treatment member 5 of the first to third embodiments is made of a soft material such as silicon rubber. The fourth embodiment is different in that the cover 52 is made of a hard material such as resin and has rigidity. Hereinafter, in order to distinguish from the soft cover portion 52, the hard (that is, rigid) cover portion 52 in the fourth embodiment is referred to as a resin cover 52 for convenience. However, this name does not limit the material of the hard cover portion 52. Other configurations are basically the same as those of the first embodiment or the third embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

  Thus, by the cover part 52 being comprised with the hard resin cover 52, the pressure given from the side which is not equipped with the chemical | medical solution impregnation part 51 of the resin cover 52, what is called the outer side, is uniformly transmitted to the chemical | medical solution impregnation part 51. Is possible. Therefore, the chemical solution impregnated portion can be brought into contact with the entire face with a little force, and the reliability of the treatment effect on the adhesion and the entire face is further increased. On the other hand, if the cover portion 52 is soft, the pressure applied from the outside is partially transmitted. For example, when pressing with one finger, the pressure is transmitted only to the pressed portion or the periphery thereof, and the pressure is not transmitted as the distance increases. However, in the case of the resin cover 52, if the pressure is transmitted with one finger, the pressure can be transmitted uniformly throughout. In practice, it is difficult to balance with one finger, so it is desirable to apply pressure from multiple locations. In this way, not only a uniform pressure is applied, but also a strong treatment is possible because a partial strong pressure is not transmitted to the face. The resin cover 52 is preferably made of, for example, ABS (acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene), PS (polystyrene), PP (polypropylene), or the like having excellent rigidity, strength, and workability. Also, it may be a material in which a metal is sandwiched between resins, such as a laminate of resin and metal, or a sheet laminated on one side of the metal, and metal if it is insulated on one side, such as painting. There is no problem even if the material is used. If one side is a metal, the role of the conductor 50 can be played by the metal portion.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic view of the resin cover 52 of the fourth embodiment, and the soft cover portion 52 shown in FIG. 2 needs to be cut in order to match the shape of the face. Since the 52 itself is three-dimensionally like a mask, a cut or the like is not necessarily required.

(Fifth embodiment)
The principal part of the beauty device according to the fifth embodiment is shown in FIG. In the beauty device of the fourth embodiment, the fifth embodiment is provided with legs 56 as support portions for supporting the resin cover 52 on the side of the resin cover 52 where the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51 is not provided, that is, outside. It is characterized by that. Hereinafter, a configuration different from the fourth embodiment will be described mainly.

  The legs 56 are provided for the purpose of supporting the resin cover 52 and may be provided on the outside of the resin cover 52 at four or more places like the legs of a table, or may be donut-shaped legs. . Further, the legs 56 may be integrally connected to the resin cover 52 or may be removable.

  By providing the legs 56 in this way, the resin cover 52 can be supported. When the treatment is performed in such a supported state, the treatment can be performed in a prone state on a surface such as a desk, and the treatment can be comfortably received. Further, the prone treatment can be reliably performed because the low resilience material constituting the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51 is compressed by its own weight and naturally fits to the shape of the face.

  The resin cover 52 normally has a three-dimensional shape. However, in the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 8 (hatching is omitted), a single flat plate is shown for simplicity.

(Sixth embodiment)
In the beauty device according to the fifth embodiment, the sixth embodiment can change the length (height) of the legs 56, that is, can be expanded and contracted, and the angle of the resin cover 52 with respect to the installation surface is an arbitrary angle. Can be adjusted.

  FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view (hatching is omitted) of the main part of the beauty device according to the sixth embodiment (corresponding to the part shown in FIG. 8). As shown in FIGS. The angle of the resin cover 52 with respect to the installation surface can be freely changed by changing the length of one side of the leg 56.

  Thus, since the angle of the resin cover 52 can be changed to an arbitrary angle, it becomes possible to perform the prone treatment at a set angle comfortable for the user. On the other hand, when the length of the leg 56 cannot be expanded and contracted, the treatment is performed such that the face is put on according to the angle of the resin cover 52 regardless of the position of the resin cover 52, and the posture is unnatural. Treatment may be performed.

  FIG. 10 shows an example of a structure for changing the length of the leg 56. In this example, the leg 56 includes a lower part A having a plurality of pin insertion openings C at equal intervals, and a cylindrical upper part B that movably accommodates the lower part, and has a length depending on the position where the pin D is inserted. Can be changed.

  There are various structures for changing the length of the leg 56, and any structure may be used.

(Seventh embodiment)
In the beauty device according to the seventh embodiment, in the beauty device according to the fifth embodiment (the treatment member 5 includes the resin cover 52), the resin cover 52 is on the side opposite to the conductor 50. A member having cushioning properties is provided. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 16, points different from the fifth embodiment will be mainly described.

  FIG. 11 shows a hollow or solid donut-shaped cushion 57 attached to the outer peripheral portion of the outer surface (opposite the face) of the resin cover 52 as a member having cushioning properties. FIG. 12 is a schematic sectional view thereof.

  FIG. 13 shows an example in which the legs 56 (see the fifth and sixth embodiments) for supporting the resin cover 52 have cushioning properties. The leg 56 incorporates a spring, and the leg 56 itself can move up and down, left and right to some extent. Instead of such a spring, the leg 56 itself is made of rubber or the like, so that the leg 56 itself can have cushioning properties. Since the leg 56 has a cushioning property, small unevenness of the base can be absorbed, and rattling of the leg 56 can be prevented.

  In the structure in which the legs 56 are provided on the resin cover 52 that can be adjusted to a certain degree, the face is placed on the resin cover 52 while the face is placed. Although it can be performed very easily, the prone face makes it easy for the sensitive face to feel rattling due to vibrations and unevenness, and makes it uncomfortable. As in this embodiment, the leg 56 is provided with cushioning properties, maintains a state in which the user can easily perform treatment, and is not affected by the unevenness of the base (installation surface), thereby enabling more comfortable treatment.

  FIG. 14 shows that the leg 56 itself has cushioning properties, and a cushion 57 is further provided at the tip of the leg 56. Specifically, the leg 56 has a bellows structure, and can be adjusted up and down and left and right freely to some extent. In this configuration, the angle of the face and the like can be adjusted with the leg 56 having cushioning properties, and the unevenness of the base can be absorbed by the cushion 57.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the treatment member 5 may include a cushion 57 such as a pillow outside the resin cover 52. In this case, however, the cushion 57 is configured to be able to breathe, for example, by providing a hole.

  FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of a pillow-shaped cushion 57 or a cushion 57 made of, for example, a rubber material in a cylindrical shape. Further, the cushion 57 enables the treatment to be performed at a desired angle.

(Eighth embodiment)
In the eighth embodiment, in the sixth or seventh embodiment in which the angle of the resin cover 52 can be changed, the treatment member 5 for the entire face, which is the first treatment member, is on a surface that does not contact the face. The body electrode 6 is provided.

  In the sixth or seventh embodiment, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the body electrode 6 is grasped with the fingers 7, or the body electrodes 6 are fixed to the fingers 7 with a belt or the like. Is. In such a body electrode 6 fixing method, the body electrode 6 may be continuously held during the treatment, or the belt may be uncomfortable, which can be stressful. Usually, when sleeping on a prone face, it is not uncomfortable to bring your hand near the face, such as putting your hand on a pillow or bringing your hand near the pillow. Therefore, in the eighth embodiment, the body electrode 6 is provided on the leg 56, the cushion 57, etc. of the body to be prone, so that the body electrode 6 can be contacted with a hand near the face. Yes. The usage pattern will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 17A is a schematic cross-sectional view of the main part of the treatment member 5 provided with a hollow pillow-like cushion 57, and a hand can be put inside the cushion 57. Since the cushion 57 includes the body electrode 6 in the vicinity of placing the hand, the cushion 57 can be brought into contact with the body electrode 6 simply by placing the hand there. FIG. 17B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the main part of the treatment member 5 provided with a donut-shaped cushion 57, and the body electrode 6 is provided on a part of the cushion 57. If the cushion 57 is soft, it may be left as it is, but if it is a little hard, the portion provided with the body electrode 6 may be recessed so that the fingers 7 and the wrist can enter. The body electrode 6 can be contacted by inserting a finger 7 or a wrist into the body electrode 6 portion.

  As described above, in the eighth embodiment, it is possible to make contact with the body electrode 6 with no burden in an uncomfortable posture, and it is possible to perform treatment in a more relaxed state without stress.

(Ninth embodiment)
18 and 19 are cross-sectional views showing specific examples of the positional relationship between the chemical liquid impregnation portion 51 and the cover portion 52 in the treatment members 5 and 5a of the present invention.

  In the example shown in FIG. 18 (a), in more detail than the beauty device of the present invention, there is a cover portion 52 that becomes a base for the treatment members 5 and 5a, and a chemical solution impregnation portion 51 and a paper sheet S are mounted thereon. . The chemical liquid impregnation part 51 is a low repulsion material, and when the wet low repulsion material is pressed against the face when it is brought into close contact with the face, the chemical solution penetrates the skin from the conductor 50 through the moisture. Therefore, if the cover portion 52 has conductivity, when the hand is pressed against the cover portion 52, the circuit is short-cut and the chemical solution does not penetrate into the face. Insulation 52 is required. Basically, the cover portion 52 is provided with a conductor 50. When the insulating cover 52 is provided, a conductor is provided in a portion close to the face of the chemical solution impregnation unit 51, and the paper sheet S has an advantage that the chemical solution is small.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the paper sheet S may not be provided. In this case, the cosmetic liquid impregnated portion 51 of the low repulsion material is directly included in the cosmetic liquid and brought into close contact with the face.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, the chemical solution impregnation portion 51 made of a low repulsion material has a two-layer structure, and the low repulsion material 51a on the side close to the cover portion 52 is waterproofed, By providing the low-rebound material 51b with a thin material having high water absorption, it is possible to reduce the amount of chemicals to be contained even without the paper sheet S. For example, the waterproof treatment may be a coating treatment with a waterproof paint or a water repellent paint, or a water-impervious material such as vinyl. As a material having high water absorption, it is desirable to use, for example, a highly water-absorbing urethane resin.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 17, in the beauty device in which the treatment member 5 includes a leg (support portion) 56 and a cushion 57 for supporting the resin cover 52 and can be operated on the prone surface, as shown in FIG. 19B. The liquid impregnation part 51 is provided with a high repulsion material 51c that has been subjected to waterproofing on the side close to the cover part 52, and a low repulsion material 51b with high water absorption on the side close to the face, thereby performing treatment with prone face down. In some cases, the surgical member is not easily displaced from the face. High resilience materials include, for example, foamed rubber materials that have a soft feel even if they have resilience, high-density urethane, such as high resilience, high elasticity, and hard urethane sponge. Ordinary urethane sponge may be used.

  By providing the low repulsion material 51b with high water absorption on the side close to the face, it adheres to the entire face regardless of the unevenness of the face. However, when performing treatment with lying down, the body and face may move slightly. The low resilience material has high adhesion to an uneven face, but it slowly deforms and recovers with changes in load, so there is a risk that the response will be delayed when the face moves during surgery due to lying down. However, since the high resilience material 51c is waterproofed on the side close to the cover portion 52, the resilience of the high resilience material 51c is high, so the resilience of the material is fast against the movement when the face is displaced. Correspondence becomes possible.

  Further, in the case of performing treatment with lying down, since the face is naturally pressed against the side impregnated with the chemical solution, the material 51b having high water absorption may be made of a highly repulsive material.

  With the specifications described above, a beauty device that can solve the problems of the present invention can be realized.

  The above-described various embodiments are not limited, and various shapes, materials, and the like can be changed. In the above-described various embodiments, the face is a treatment target. However, the beauty apparatus of the present invention can be used for other than the face, for example, the back of the hand, legs, feet, and the like to obtain a beauty effect. be able to.
