Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for applying weak electrical stimulation to skin for the purpose of skin health, beauty, and the like, and more particularly, to a device for applying a weak current having a cosmetic effect to skin.

  A living cell, a tissue, a body, etc. have a current called a bioelectric current. Bioelectric currents are involved in many aspects of human biological activities, such as cardiopulmonary function in the body, gastrointestinal peristalsis, and bending and stretching of limbs. The bioelectric current appears based on a potential difference inside and outside the cells constituting each tissue of the body.

  The bioelectric current continues to flow through the human body while maintaining a delicate electrical balance from the deep part of the skin to the surface of the skin, thereby maintaining smooth metabolism and maintaining the skin function. The bioelectric current is affected by an individual's physical condition change, aging, and the like, and the generated force may be weakened. In such a case, the delicate electrical balance in the living body cannot be maintained. If such an unbalanced state continues, the function in the body gradually decreases, the function of cells also declines, and muscle aging is caused, leading to health problems and cosmetic disorders.

  As a method of treating a health disorder, in the field of oriental medicine, electrotherapy is already known in which electrical stimulation is applied to an acupuncture point existing along the meridian of a human body through an electric current. In such electrotherapy, a direct current of 7 to 10 V, which is a voltage much higher than the bioelectric current, is used. The energization is performed with a thin probe similar to that used for acupuncture as a search rod and inserted into an acupuncture point.

  However, in the above-mentioned electrotherapy, since the probe is configured as a thin fold, it takes time to search for acupuncture points with the probe. In addition, since the contact area of the tip is extremely small, there is a high possibility that the position where the probe sticks from the acupuncture point will deviate. Therefore, it is difficult to appropriately perform such electrotherapy unless the skilled person knows the positions of meridians and acupoints sufficiently.

  In addition, a thin probe has a small current-carrying area to the acupuncture point and cannot provide sufficient electric stimulation. Furthermore, when a probe is stabbed, a stinging pain may occur unless it is a skilled person such as an acupuncturist.

  In order to solve this problem, an energizing device is constituted by an earthing rod connected to an energizing circuit whose voltage can be changed and a glove knitted with a copper wire as a knitting yarn and connected to the energizing circuit. A method of energizing acupuncture points by holding a grounding rod, fitting a glove into one insulated hand, and pressing a finger with the glove on the acupuncture point is disclosed (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).

In the disclosed method, the fingertip has a wider contact area with the skin than the thin probe bar, and the meridian range can be covered even if the center position of the meridian is slightly off. A large energizing area can be secured even when the pressing energization is applied, and there is no worry of stinging. Furthermore, five acupuncture points can be pressed at a time using five fingers, and a plurality of energizing acupuncture points can be given at a time.

  However, in the invention according to Patent Document 1, it is a copper wire that is knitted as a knitting yarn, and it is difficult to ensure good current conduction in a state of being formed into a fiber shape. Therefore, the current cannot be conducted to the human body unless the voltage on the energizing circuit side is increased, and there is a risk that a strong electric acupuncture may occur when the operator touches the equipment with wet hands. There is. In addition, the glove in the invention according to Patent Document 1 is in direct contact with the human body, and since it is easy to adhere to sweat, sebum, and germs on the skin surface, no measures are taken to remove the germs. Therefore, there is a problem that germs propagate on the gloves and may cause adverse effects such as skin irritation on the contacted human body.

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

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the beauty tool of the present invention. 2A, 2B, and 2C are waveform diagrams showing examples of the cosmetic AC waveform of the present invention for one period, respectively. FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a face treatment using the beauty tool of the present invention.

  The beauty instrument is composed of a current control device 1, a connection cord 2, and a pair of conductive gloves 3a and 3b serving as beauty energization instruments. In the current control device 1, a current control circuit (not shown) is built-in. For example, a variable control of the output voltage, a plurality of types of AC waveforms obtained by continuously combining different patterns of AC square waves, and more continuously combined. For example, a weak current having a cosmetic AC waveform as shown in FIG. 2 can be output.

  The current control device 1 is provided with an operation panel 1a. As shown in FIG. 1, a touch-type ON main switch 4a and an OFF main switch 4b are provided. By pressing the ON main switch 4a, the current control device 1 is brought into a state where a weak current having a cosmetic AC waveform can be output. In this state, the conductive gloves 3 a and 3 b are connected to the current control device 1 with the connection cord 2.

  The conductive gloves 3a and 3b are both made by knitting a conductive material in which silver is contained in a fiber such as an acrylic fiber. By including silver as a conductive material, the conductivity of the glove can be improved. The silver content may be mixed so that the electrical resistance of the conductive gloves is 1 kΩ or less. Compared with the case where copper is used as the conductive material, the amount of contamination can be suppressed to a small amount.

  By using silver as described above, it is possible to reduce the voltage load when an alternating current is passed through the conductive gloves 3a as compared with the case of using a conductive material having a conductivity lower than that of silver. The working potential for acupuncture can be kept low.

  Beauty instruments are usually used in the home and can be considered to be touched with wet hands. Therefore, by reducing the operating voltage as much as possible in the present invention, a strong electric acupuncture will not run. As such, it is possible to operate beauty instruments with peace of mind.

  Further, by using silver as a conductive material, it is possible to bring out a gentle silver-white color in design compared to the case where carbon is used as a conductive material. Furthermore, when using a beauty tool, it is usually used in contact with the face or other body. Since it is used as a conductive material, conductive gloves 3a and 3b that easily adhere to sweat, sebum, and germs on the skin surface. Because of its antibacterial properties, it can protect against the propagation of various bacteria. Therefore, it is possible to prevent skin irritation and the like based on the propagation of bacteria on the surfaces of the conductive gloves 3a and 3b.

  The conductive gloves 3a and 3b having the above-described configuration are provided with hooks 5a and 5b serving as connection terminals for the connection cord 2 on the hand insertion port side. The connection cord 2 has lead wires 2a and 2b for the conductive gloves 3a and 3b, and is detachable from the hooks 5a and 5b of the conductive gloves 3a and 3b on one end side of the lead wires 2a and 2b. Hooks 6a and 6b to be fitted are provided. The other ends of the lead wires 2a and 2b are joined to each other on the way and connected to the common jack 7.

AC having the cosmetic AC waveform shown in FIG. 2 can be supplied to the conductive gloves 3a and 3b.

In the current control device 1, the AC voltage range to be generated can be changed. For example, the AC voltage can be switched between two series of ± 0.3 V to ± 1.2 V and ± 0.9 V to ± 3.9 V. Each series can further change the voltage in a plurality of stages. Such a series may be appropriately selected according to the skin site to which current acupuncture is applied, and the above-mentioned low voltage series is used for a place where the skin such as the face is sensitive, and the skin skin layer such as the body is relatively thick. A high voltage series (for example, a voltage range about three times the low voltage range) can be applied. In the case shown in FIG. 1, it is configured so that it can be switched in eight stages.

  The operation panel 1a of the current control device 1 is provided with a volume up switch 9a that can increase the voltage step by step and a volume down switch 9b that decreases the voltage step by step. As to which stage the set voltage is in, the level lamp 10 according to the light emission instruction of the LED is provided for the number of voltage switching so that the voltage level can be known at the light emission position.

  In addition, a facial select switch 11a and a body select switch 11b for changing the voltage series are provided so that the mode setting can be selected depending on whether the voltage series is set for the face or the body. Yes.

  A timer start / release switch 12 and a timer setting switch 13 for setting a timer time are provided. For example, the timer setting switch 13 can set three types of timer times of 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and 20 minutes. After setting the desired time with the timer setting switch 13, the timer can be started with the timer start / release switch 12. The timer that has been started can be canceled halfway by pressing the timer start / release switch 12 in the middle. The set time of the timer is configured such that the remaining time is digitally displayed on the timer display window 14 so as to be understood.

  The current control device 1 of the present invention can be operated with a rechargeable built-in battery as a power source. The built-in battery can be operated as a power source by using an AC charging adapter that is connected to the current control device 1 and is charged by connecting the other to a household power outlet. A battery checker 15 is provided as an indication of the remaining battery level, and the current status can be seen by color-coded light emission display of LEDs.

  Next, how to use the beauty device of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, insulating gloves 16a and 16b made of an insulating material such as polyethylene or vinyl chloride are fitted into both hands to secure the insulating properties of both hands. Or you may employ | adopt the structure which backs an insulating material inside the conductive gloves 3a and 3b. A conventionally known method for ensuring the insulation of both hands may be employed as appropriate.

  As described above, the insulating gloves 16a and 16b are fitted into both hands to secure the insulation of both hands, and then the conductive gloves 3a and 3b are fitted. As described above, a weak current having a low output voltage is passed through the fitted conductive gloves 3a and 3b. However, in order to ensure sufficient conductivity, the conductive gloves 3a and 3b are not washed with water. It is better to wet it with a conductive liquid.

  On the other hand, the hooks 6a and 6b of the lead wires 2a and 2b of the connecting cord 2 into which the jack 7 has been inserted in advance into the outlet of the output terminal 8 of the current control device 1 are fitted into the hooks 5a and 5b of the conductive gloves 3a and 3b. Then, the conductive gloves 3a and 3b are prepared so as to be electrically conductive.

  In this state, the main switch for ON 4a is pressed, and then the facial select switch 11a or the body select switch 11b is selected and pressed in accordance with the part to be treated. In addition, the setting of the output voltage may be changed as necessary.

  The output voltage is changed by pressing the volume up switch 9a and the volume down switch 9b. When the use of the beauty tool is terminated by pressing the OFF main switch 4b, the current control device 1 is configured so that the output voltage can be automatically returned to the lowest voltage, and the voltage setting is performed each time the use is started. Even without confirmation, high energization stimulation at the end of the previous time is not generated.

  For example, when performing facial treatment using the conductive gloves 3a and 3b set as described above, the facial select switch 11a is selected. After selection, the palm sides of the conductive gloves 3a and 3b fitted in both hands are brought into close contact with the face surface. Gently touch the palm side of the glove to the entire face while moving your hand slowly. By doing in this way, a weak current will be sent to the skin of the face from the conductive gloves 3a, 3b.

  The treatment for the entire face as described above has an effect of promoting the activation of the skin. At this stage, the cosmetic AC is a combination of a plurality of AC square waves of different patterns shown in FIG. 2 (A). The use of waveform WA1 was preferred.

  In the cosmetic AC waveform WA1, when the AC waveform is displayed as a positive-side potential and a negative-side potential centered on the reference potential, the potentials of both levels at the time interval of the first reference time are displayed. A single pattern W1 indicating an AC square wave pattern that alternately indicates one level of potential and the other level of potential once, a three-time continuous pattern W2 including three single patterns W1, and a reference potential. The pause P1 indicating the time twice as long as the first reference time is set to a three-time continuous pattern W2, a pause P1, a three-time continuous pattern W2, a pause P1, a single pattern W1, a pause P1, a single pattern W1, a pause P1, and a single pattern W1. , A combination AC waveform formed by successively combining the pause P1, the single pattern W1, and the pause P1 in this order.

  In particular, the case shown in FIG. 2A is a case where the first reference time is set to 0.4 seconds, that is, the potential of one level of both potentials at intervals of 0.4 seconds, A single pattern W1 that indicates an alternating square wave pattern that alternately indicates a level potential once, a three-time continuous pattern W2 that continues the single pattern three times, and a pause P1 that indicates the reference potential for 0.8 seconds, 3 times continuous pattern W2, pause P1, 3 times continuous pattern W2, pause P1, single pattern W1, pause P1, single pattern W1, pause P1, single pattern W1, pause P1, single pattern W1 and pause P1 in this order It is formed in combination.

  The cosmetic AC waveform WA1 is a waveform in which the series of combinations are repeated for a predetermined time with a period of 12.8 seconds. While the weak current due to the repetition of the cosmetic AC waveform WA1 is energized, the preparatory treatment on the face surface may be performed as described above.

  After the preparatory treatment as described above, a wide-area lift-up treatment is performed to lift wrinkles on a relatively wide area of the face. In such a wide area lift-up treatment, for example, with the palm side of the conductive gloves 3a and 3b in close contact with the face surface, for example, the entire cheek is pulled up and left as it is for a while. The parts of the eyes, the eyebrows, the chin, the corners of the mouth, and the corners of the mouth, which are commonly called crow's footprints, are lifted in the same way using palms and fingers, and in that state, that is, lifted up for a while. To. For such a wide area lift-up treatment, in the experiment of the present inventor, the AC of the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 shown in FIG.

  In the cosmetic AC waveform WA2, when the AC waveform is displayed with a positive-side potential and a negative-side potential centered on the reference potential, the potential of one of the two levels is set to the second reference time. An AC square wave first repeating pattern W3 indicating the other level potential for 1/2 hour of the second reference time, and one level potential indicating 1/2 hour of the second reference time, A second repeating pattern W4 of AC square wave indicating the reference potential for 1/2 hour of the second reference time and the other level of potential for 1/2 hour of the second reference time, and the reference potential as the second reference The pose P2 for indicating 1/2 hour of time is the first repeat pattern W3, pause P2, first repeat pattern W3, pause P2, second repeat pattern W4, pause P2, second repeat pattern W4, Continuously combined in the order of pose P2 It may be used a combination AC waveform.

  In the case shown in FIG. 2B, the second reference time is set to 1.6 seconds in the cosmetic AC waveform WA2. That is, the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 shown in FIG. 2B is one of the two levels when the AC waveform is displayed with a positive-level potential and a negative-level potential around the reference potential. The alternating current square wave first repeating pattern W3 for instructing the other potential for 1.6 seconds and the other level potential for 0.8 seconds, and the one level potential for 0.8 seconds, and the reference potential The second repeating pattern W4 of AC square wave that indicates the second level potential for 0.8 seconds and the pause P2 that indicates the reference potential for 0.8 seconds are first repeated. The return pattern W3, the pause P2, the first repeat pattern W3, the pause P2, the second repeat pattern W4, the pause P2, the second repeat pattern W4, and the pause P2 are sequentially combined.

  The cycle of the AC waveform WA2 for beauty combined with such a series of AC square wave patterns is also configured to have a cycle of 12.8 seconds, similar to the above-described AC waveform WA1 for beauty. It may be performed while being repeated for a predetermined time.

  After the wide area lift-up treatment is completed, a narrow area lift-up treatment is performed in which the details of the face are partially pressed with one hand and lifted up with one hand. For such a narrow area lift-up treatment, a cosmetic AC waveform WA3 in which AC square waves having different patterns shown in FIG. 2C are continuously combined is effective.

  In the cosmetic AC waveform WA3, when the AC waveform is displayed with a positive level potential and a negative level potential centered on the reference potential, one potential of both levels is indicated for the third reference time. The other level potential is indicated for the third reference time, one potential is indicated for the third reference time, the other level potential is indicated for the third reference time, and the reference potential is indicated twice as long as the third reference time. One level of potential is indicated for 1/4 hour of the third reference time, the reference potential is indicated for 1/2 hour of the third reference time, and one level of potential is indicated for 1/4 hour of the third reference time. Instructing the reference potential for the third reference time, instructing the other level potential for 1/4 hour of the third reference time, indicating the reference potential for 1/2 hour of the third reference time, Specify the potential for 1/4 hour of the third reference time, and specify the reference potential for the third reference time The third repeating pattern W5 of the alternating current square wave, the reference potential is indicated for the third reference time, the potential of one level is indicated for 1/4 hour of the third reference time, and the reference potential is 1 of the third reference time. 1/2 time, one repeat pattern W6 indicating one level of potential for ¼ hour of the third reference time, the reference potential indicating the third reference time, and the other level of potential for the third reference time , And the reference potential is indicated for 1/2 hour of the third reference time, the other level potential is indicated for 1/4 hour of the third reference time, and the reference pattern is The pose P3 instructing the third reference time is set to the third repeating pattern W5, the third repeating pattern W5, the one repeating pattern W6, the other repeating pattern W7, the pause P3, the one repeating pattern W6, and the other repeating pattern. W7, pause P3, one of repeated pattern W6 In may be combined AC current waveform formed by combining continuously.

  In the case shown in FIG. 2 (C), in the cosmetic AC waveform, the third reference time is set to 0.4 seconds like the first reference time, that is, one of both levels. The potential is indicated for 0.4 seconds, the other level is indicated for 0.4 seconds, the one potential is indicated for 0.4 seconds, the other level is indicated for 0.4 seconds, and the reference potential is specified. Is indicated for 0.8 seconds, the one level potential is indicated for 0.1 second, the reference potential is indicated for 0.2 seconds, the one level potential is indicated for 0.1 second, and the reference potential is indicated. For 0.4 seconds, the other level potential for 0.1 seconds, the reference potential for 0.2 seconds, the other level potential for 0.1 seconds, and the reference potential AC square wave third repeating pattern W5 for indicating 0.4 seconds, and the reference potential is set to 0 A repeating pattern W6 indicating for 4 seconds, indicating the potential of the one level for 0.1 second, indicating the reference potential for 0.2 seconds, and pointing the potential of the one level for 0.1 seconds; The other side of pointing the reference potential for 0.4 seconds, pointing the other level potential for 0.1 seconds, pointing the reference potential for 0.2 seconds, and pointing the other level potential for 0.1 seconds A repeat pattern W7 and a pause P3 for instructing the reference potential for 0.4 seconds include a third repeat pattern W5, a third repeat pattern W5, one repeat pattern W6, the other repeat pattern W7, a pause P3, One repeating pattern W6, the other repeating pattern W7, a pause P3, and one repeating pattern W7 are sequentially combined in this order. The cosmetic AC waveform WA3 is also repeated for a predetermined time with a period of 12.8 seconds, and it is preferable to perform the narrow area lift-up treatment within the energization time based on the cosmetic AC waveform.

  To output the three different cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2 and WA3, the current control device 1 outputs the cosmetic AC waveform WA1 as a waveform that is repeated for a predetermined time at a period of 12.8 seconds, and then automatically uses the cosmetics. The output is changed so as to output the AC waveform WA2. After that, after the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 is output as a waveform that is repeated for a predetermined time at a period of 12.8 seconds, the output is changed so that the cosmetic AC waveform WA3 is automatically output. Furthermore, the output is automatically stopped after the cosmetic AC waveform WA3 is output as a waveform that is repeated for a predetermined time at a cycle of 12.8 seconds.

  The change of the AC waveform WA1, WA2, WA3 for beauty may be repeated for the time required for the preparation treatment, the wide-area treatment, and the narrow-area treatment. For example, when the whole is finished in 15 minutes, What is necessary is just to set so that three types of treatment may be performed for 5 minutes each.

  The change in the output of the combination cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, and WA3 can be understood by checking the wave lamp 17 composed of three LEDs corresponding to each cosmetic AC waveform to determine which type of output is currently being performed. , You can do treatments commensurate with it.

In the above description, as shown in FIG. 2, the case where each potential of the combination cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, and WA3 is set to ± 0.3V is shown, but the potential is, for example, ± 0.3V. It may be possible to change the voltage in 8 steps within a range of up to ± 1.2V. The voltage change width may be about 0.1 to 0.2 V, for example.

  In the above description, the facial surface treatment is performed by selecting the facial select switch 11a. However, by selecting the body select switch 11b, a treatment for a body other than the face, such as a bust or a hip, is performed. Can be applied.

According to the experiment, it was confirmed that a cosmetic effect can be obtained for the body even when the cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, WA3 similar to those used for the face or a combination waveform thereof are used. When used for such a body, the set potential may be set in a range of, for example, ± 0.9 V to ± 3.9 V so that the voltage can be changed in eight stages. The voltage width to be changed may be, for example, about 0.4 to 0.6V.

  Table 1 below shows the effect of improving facial wrinkles and sagging when the face is energized and stimulated using the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 shown in FIG. 2B.

  From Table 1, the state before conducting the energization stimulation is shown as a comparative example, and the state when the energization stimulation is performed is shown as an example of using the cosmetic AC waveform WA2. The wrinkle was evaluated separately on the left and right sides of each subject based on the evaluation scale shown in Table 1.

  In Table 1, it can be seen that, for example, in the subject 1, there is no change between when the skin treatment is performed using the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 and before the skin treatment is performed. On the other hand, in the test subject 2, the wrinkles that were initially observed to the normal level on the left side of the face were eliminated to the extent that they were only slightly visible after the treatment using the cosmetic AC waveform WA2. On the right side of the face, it can be seen that the wrinkles are reduced to the extent that the initial evaluation of the wrinkles is between a normal level and a slight level.

  It was found that such evaluation shows the same improvement effect even in the case of the cosmetic AC waveforms WA1 and WA3. Furthermore, by continuously combining the cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, and WA3, the cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, and WA3 can be visually confirmed immediately after the treatment more clearly than when the cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, and WA3 are used alone. It has been found that the duration of the improvement effect becomes longer.

  Table 2 below shows the results of verifying the sagging improvement effect. The numerical values in the table are obtained by examining the elasticity of the skin by pinching the skin so that it is folded, then releasing the hand, and returning to the original state before the pinched skin is pinched. If the skin has elasticity, the time required to return to the original state can be shortened, and sagging is less likely to occur. Therefore, the effect of improving the sagging can be evaluated by evaluating the elasticity of the skin.

  From Table 2, it can be seen that when the facial treatment is performed using the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 of the present invention, the elasticity of the skin is higher than before the test subject 1 except for the right side of the test subject 1 and the test subject 3. It can be seen that is improved. That is, the “sagging” of the skin based on the decrease in the elasticity of the skin is also improved by performing the treatment while performing the energizing stimulation with the weak current of the cosmetic AC waveform WA2 of the present invention.

  As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, and WA3 described above are ON main switches for the operation panel 19 connected to the central processing unit (CPU) 18 provided in the current control device 1. The central processing unit (CPU) 18 incorporated in the current control device 1 is operated by the input signal from 4a, and the current control circuit is controlled by the program previously installed in the central processing unit 18, and the amplification unit 20 Then, the signal is output to the output unit 21 configured in the output terminal 8. By connecting the conductive gloves 3a, 3b to the output terminal 8, cosmetic AC waveforms WA1, WA2, WA3 are supplied to the conductive gloves 3a, 3b.

  In addition, the operation status based on the input signal from the operation panel 19 can be confirmed by the display of the voltage adjustment status, the timer setting status, the mode setting status, etc., for example, by the signal from the central processing unit 18 to the operation panel 19. Yes. The timer display unit 22 may display the remaining amount of the timer. Furthermore, a voice display unit 23 such as a buzzer may be provided so as to direct the user's attention to the operating status or mode switching. Of course, you may make it suggest the operation procedure using an artificial voice.

  The power supply unit 24 configured as an AC adapter is connected to the central processing unit 18 and configured so that the beauty tool of the present invention can be used by a power source from a household power outlet.
