Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention uses titanium steel, which has excellent antibacterial properties, in the fields of beauty, hairdressing, and aesthetics, thereby adjusting skin disharmony such as metal allergies and atopic dermatitis, and comprehensively adjusting the body. In addition, it aims to provide unprecedented superior whole-body beauty techniques by enhancing the effect of cosmetic massage on the face and body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, an ultrasonic generation technology using a ceramic vibrator has used ultrasonic vibration of 1 MHz. As for the material used for the probe head, stainless steel is mainly used in consideration of strength, corrosion resistance (no rust, etc.) and cost.

[0003] The effect of this 1 MHz ultrasonic vibration using a stainless steel probe head is to improve the flow of blood and lymph by rubbing and softening muscles and muscle stiffness throughout the body, thereby activating metabolism. It is intended to aim at.

[0004] As cosmetic and esthetic effects, there are a tightening effect such as slimming and a beautifying effect, and various cosmetic effects have been announced, such as an improved stickiness of makeup. However, the probe head using stainless steel has the following problems.

When stainless steel receives 1 MHz of ultrasonic vibration generated by a ceramic vibrator, the amplitude of the vibration transmitted between the ceramic vibrator and the stainless steel is different. The problem is that ultrasonic waves are not transmitted well because interference waves similar to the above noise are generated.

[0006] The interference wave similar to the noise has an adverse effect on the ecology and the accompanying generation of heat, which adversely affects the skin and the like.

[0007] In recent years, hospital-acquired infections in medical institutions have been given utmost importance, and measures are being taken, but in the fields of beauty, barbers and aesthetics, there is no effective measure against bacteria. At present, it is not considered enough.

However, HIV. O157. Bacteria control and infection control, with MRSA as a representative bacterium, are considered to be very important as the biggest challenges in the future in the fields of beauty, hairdressing and aesthetics.

Furthermore, in recent years, measures for comprehensive allergy countermeasures (in the present invention, indicating metal allergies) have been required, including atopic dermatitis. However, as a realistic situation, such countermeasures are not considered at all. The better the better, the lesser is the fact.

[0010] Titanium (hereinafter referred to as titanium) is a metal element of Group IV of the periodic table, and in 1790 Gregor of England discovered its existence as an element.

[0011] Titanium has a small specific gravity, about 1/2 that of copper, and about 2/3 that of steel. Its strength is comparable to steel, its corrosion resistance is superior to stainless steel, and it has excellent properties such as excellent heat resistance. Have.

It accounts for 0.44% of the earth's crustal composition, and is the ninth of all elements, and the second largest in practical metals, after iron, aluminum and magnesium.

Although it has been used for a long time as a white pigment in the form of titanium oxide, its use as a single metal was made after World War II, and the scientific formula was Ti, formula weight 47.90, specific gravity 4.50 (20 ° C) · melting point 1800 ° C · boiling point> 3000 ° C.

[0014] The ore there is a rutile (rutile) TiO ₂ and ilmenite FeO · TiO _2, and Chitansura grayed separating the iron of titanium iron ore, such as the Tohoku region (titanium-containing iron sand) in our country, the imported gold red stone It is used as a raw material for refining.

In the refining, carbon is added to the raw material by a chlor method developed in the United States, and the material is heated through chlorine in a chloride furnace to form liquid titanium tetrachloride, which is refined to remove impurities, and sodium or magnesium is removed in a vacuum reduction furnace. To make titanium sponge.

A material obtained by compressing the material into a rod shape is used as an electrode to be melted in an arc in a vacuum, formed into an ingot, and processed into a plate, a rod, a tube, or the like by rolling, extrusion, or the like.

Titanium production began in the United States in 1948, and production in Japan began in 1952. Currently, industrial production is in the United States, Russia, and Japan, and the United Kingdom has been testing on a trial basis since 1965. Production has begun.

As described above, titanium is a metal that has been relatively long discovered, but has not been used in practical use for about 150 years until a refining method was discovered by Dr. Kroll of the United States.

However, once the refining technology has been established, aircraft jet engines have begun to be used mainly in large quantities because of their light, strong, and rust-free characteristics. It is in the spotlight as a metal that is at the forefront of modern technology such as deep sea exploration vessels and materials for nuclear power generation.

In recent years, in particular, metals have been used in a wide variety of fields, and their use has grown dramatically. Due to their strength and durability, they have begun to be used in the field of modern architecture. ing.

In addition, due to its light and strong characteristics, it has come to be used around us in more familiar forms such as golf heads, glasses and watches. One of the special features of titanium in recent years is that titanium has been recognized as a non-allergic metal and has been prized as much as gold.

Furthermore, in the medical field, it has been recognized that the compatibility with the living body is very high, and it has been proved that no allergic reaction occurs, including rejection reactions. It is used as a base material for brands and the like, and its use is rapidly increasing.

[0023]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the past, probes used for aesthetics have generally used stainless steel in consideration of rust, strength, and cost because they come into direct contact with the human body. However, its use for people who fear skin damage, such as those with metal sensitivity or patients with atopic dermatitis, has long been concerned.

Further, since the amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration transmitted between the ceramic vibrator and the stainless steel is different, it is difficult to transmit the sine wave generated by the vibrator correctly and without loss. The problem is that an interference wave is generated between them, and the ultrasonic wave is not transmitted correctly due to a slight deviation of the vibration, and a distorted vibration wave is generated.

The present inventor intends to solve these problems by using titanium steel. Titanium has been elucidated to have various properties, and it has been confirmed that titanium is an indispensable metal in fields such as medical care and construction.

[0026] The aesthetic industry has developed in recent years, has been adopted in the fields of beauty and barber, and the demand as a general therapy industry in daily life is also diversifying. The 1 MHz ultrasonic wave used in the present invention will be described here.

Ultrasound of this wavelength has already begun to be used at present, and this technology is permeating the industry. However, since probe heads made of stainless steel are forming the mainstream, their functions are not sufficiently used. It has not been fully demonstrated.

The inventor believes that the use of titanium steel as the main material of the probe head can improve the safety and enhance the effect of massage and therapy.

[0029] The general beauty industry, including aesthetics, has traditionally been created mainly for beautiful faces, beautiful skin, whitening, and slimming. Beauty is its main focus.

[0030] From that fact, measures for comprehensive allergy countermeasures (in the present invention, indicating metal allergy) such as atopic dermatitis are required as one of the modern needs. Most of the probe heads I use are stainless steel.

Therefore, there are almost no measures against atopic dermatitis and metal allergy, which have become major social problems these days. However, regarding hospital-acquired infections in medical institutions, HIV. O157. Bacteria control and infection control are regarded as important for MRSA and other representative bacteria, and countermeasures are being taken.

As described above, in the field of beauty, hairdressing, and aesthetics, effective measures against bacteria have not been considered at all, but they are very important. It is considered something.

[0033]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Conventionally, probes used for aesthetic treatments are in direct contact with the human body, so stainless steel is generally used in consideration of strength and corrosion resistance.However, skin such as atopic dermatitis, metal allergy symptoms, etc. Stainless steel could not respond to the hypersensitive.

In the fields of beauty, hairdressing and aesthetics, effective measures against bacteria have not been considered at all, and there is a demand for such measures.

In recent years, there is staphylococcus as a bacterium for which antibacterial measures are required. Staphylococci are found in purulent and wounded areas of the skin, in severely rough areas of the skin and in the nasal passages, and are usually killed by heat or antibiotics. Exert.

In the case of infection with staphylococci, it has been possible to treat with an antibiotic called methicillin. However, a strong staphylococcus that methicillin does not show any effect occurs. Called MRSA.

[0037] MRSA is M (a kind of methicillin / antibiotic) R (resistant / competent) SA (Staphylococcus staphylococcus), a bacterium that is regarded as a very serious problem in hospital infections. is there.

The present inventors have attempted to solve these concerns by using titanium steel. As indicated above, titanium is used as a non-allergic metal along with gold in the medical field as well as in daily necessities, and is also effective for people with hypersensitivity who have an allergic skin reaction. Measures.

The titanium steel probe according to the present invention uses a high-performance antibacterial titanium, which has been developed as an antibacterial titanium alloy, as a measure against bacteria that could not be dealt with at all by the conventional stainless steel probe.

[0040] High-performance antibacterial titanium is a substance in which the photocatalytic reaction is dramatically improved by controlling the titanium composition and oxidizing the surface, and has antibacterial properties as well as deodorant and antifouling effects. .

[0041]

【Example】

Assuming that the probe head diameter K of the probe head B using titanium steel is 50 mm and the vibrator pasting allowance diameter L of the vibrator pasting allowance F is 36.4 mm, the surface area of the vibrator pasting allowance F is 1040 mm. ^2, which is assumed to be 100%.

Assuming that the total height T of the probe head is 18 mm, the thickness N of the probe head side surface is 6.8 mm, the thickness S of the probe head skin contact surface is 8 mm, and the diameter M of the vibrator of the ceramic vibrator C is 32 mm to 28 mm. The surface area of the ceramic vibrator C is 77% to 59%.

By assembling the above into a probe main body A and providing a sine wave vibration via the lead wire D, the built-in ceramic vibrator C generates vibration and ultrasonic vibration to generate a probe head skin contact surface. Transmit to G.

The vibration and electric output of the ceramic vibrator C generate slight heat, and a heat source for the probe head B is required. The temperature of the probe head skin contact surface G is set to 40 ° C. to 45 ° C. slightly higher than the body temperature. To increase the comfort.

The reason why the temperature of the probe head skin contact surface is made flexible from 40 ° C. to 45 ° C. is that some errors occur due to seasonal temperature differences, room temperature differences, and turning on / off the air conditioner. Temperature differences also occur depending on the type and nature of the gel (emulsion serum).

Therefore, it is necessary to provide the ceramic resonator C with an option to change the temperature of the skin contact surface G to about 38 ° C. to 48 ° C. depending on the type and strength of vibration and electric output.

[0047]

[Effects of the Invention] In the present invention, a probe head using titanium and a ceramic vibrator are used as main materials. Ultrasonic vibration is generated by vibrating the ceramic vibrator.

The generated ultrasonic vibration enhances the metabolic activity in skin cells, particularly in the epidermis and dermis layer, by 4 to 5 times through the titanium head, so that the whole body is beautiful, beautiful skin, whitening, Promotes comprehensive beauty effects such as allergic effects.

Furthermore, the excellent antibacterial action of titanium makes it possible to take measures against bacterial infections in public facilities, which has been a problem in recent years, and therefore, it is possible to provide more clean and safe beauty techniques. Things.
