  All of the conventional devices described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are arranged so that two rollers are arranged in the axial direction, and in a state where the two rollers are in contact with the skin, one of the rollers passes through the skin. Then, an alternating current flows from the other roller to the other roller through the skin. A region where an alternating current flows between the two rollers is a so-called treatment region. However, since the two rollers are arranged in the axial direction, the treatment region is a limited elongated region on the roller axis.

  In the conventional device, the entire facial skin can be treated by moving the elongated linear treatment region by the rotation of the roller.

  As described above, in the conventional apparatus, since the treatment area is a linear thin area along the roller axis, the treatment efficiency is poor and the roller must be reciprocated many times.

  Therefore, in this type of apparatus, there has been a problem of effectively expanding the treatment area (treatment area).

  The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and a main object thereof is to provide a handy type facial device having a large treatment area.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a handy type facial device capable of performing electrical treatment with a spread on the face.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a handy type facial device that performs treatment with light in addition to flowing an electric current, and exhibits a therapeutic effect synergistically.

Invention of claim 1, wherein a handy type having a grip for the user grips with hand, an arm of the pair, and a working portion which is swingably connected for the grip by the arms The facial device is held by the arm of the action portion , and is formed by a part of the outer peripheral surface of a rotatable metal roller arranged in parallel at a predetermined interval, each having a predetermined length. The two contact surfaces have a contact region and a region sandwiched between the contact surfaces forming a treatment region, and are incorporated in the grip. A voltage application circuit for applying a voltage to one contact surface and the arm of the action part are held in a region sandwiched between the contact faces regardless of the swing position of the action part. Against the given And LED for illuminating the length of the light directly, a handy type facial equipment, which comprises a.

Invention 請 Motomeko second aspect, the outer peripheral surface of the metal roller, wherein the grid pattern of fine smooth irregularities are assigned a facial equipment handy type according to claim 1.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the two contact surfaces that come into contact with the facial skin or the like have a predetermined length, and are arranged substantially in parallel with a predetermined interval. For this reason, the area of the two contact surfaces and the region sandwiched between them is a relatively large area. This relatively wide area forms a treatment area in the present invention.

  Because, when two contact surfaces are in contact with the skin of the face, etc., an electric current flows between the two contact surfaces through the skin, but there is a gap between the contact surfaces and the contact surfaces. This is because current flows in a wide area.

  In other words, in the present invention, the contact surface is two contact surfaces having a predetermined length, and the two contact surfaces are arranged substantially in parallel at a predetermined interval, so that the treatment area can be formed widely. is made of.

  Furthermore, the central part of the treatment area formed widely is a space area sandwiched between the contact surfaces and there is nothing to prevent. This space region is irradiated with light from the LED. Thereby, in the treatment area, current flows and predetermined light is given to the central part from the LED, and the activation of skin cells is promoted by the synergistic effect of current and light. As a result, it is expected to improve the firmness and gloss of the skin.

  In the invention according to claim 2, since the contact surface is formed by a part of the peripheral surface of the roller, the treatment area can be smoothly moved by rotating the roller to perform a good treatment over the entire face. Is possible.

  In addition, it is possible to provide a handy type facial device that is easy to use and has good operability.

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

  FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are illustrative views for explaining the configuration of a handy type facial device according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the treatment area, and FIG. 2 shows a view of the treatment area from the side.

  Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the handy type facial device 1 includes a first contact surface 2 and a second contact surface 3. The first contact surface 2 and the second contact surface 3 are surfaces that are lightly pressed against the skin 4 such as a user's face.

  In this embodiment, both the first contact surface 2 and the second contact surface 3 are formed by part of the peripheral surfaces of the metal rollers 5 and 6.

  Specifically, the metal roller 5 is a roller that is elongated in the axial direction, and is, for example, a roller having an axial length of about 50 mm and a diameter of about 10 mm. The metal roller 5 is made of stainless steel, for example, and has conductivity. The outer peripheral surface of the metal roller 5 is preferably provided with fine and smooth irregularities (lattice pattern).

  The metal roller 6 has the same configuration as that of the metal roller 5. And the metal roller 5 and the metal roller 6 are arrange | positioned in parallel with the predetermined space | interval, for example, the space | interval of about 30-35 mm. Thereby, the space between the metal rollers 5 and 6, in other words, the space region 7 sandwiched between the first contact surface 2 and the second contact surface 3 forms a treatment region.

  Instead of the above configuration, either or either one of the first contact surface 2 and the second contact surface 3 may be an elongated electrode surface of a fixed metal (conductor).

  The metal rollers 5 and 6 are electrically connected by an AC power supply circuit 8 as a voltage application circuit and lead wires 9 and 10 or the like. The AC power supply circuit 8 is a circuit that outputs an AC voltage, for example, an AC square wave of about +1 V and −1 V, and the AC voltage is applied to the metal rollers 5 and 6 connected via the lead wires 9 and 10. Thus, when the metal rollers 5 and 6 are in contact with the skin 4, an alternating current flows between the metal rollers 5 and 6 through the skin 4. That is, in the treatment region 7 between the first contact surface 2 of the metal roller 5 and the second contact surface 3 of the metal roller 6, a minute alternating current flows through the skin 4, thereby promoting the activation of skin cells. Is done. As a result, improvement of skin gloss and firmness can be expected.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the first contact surface 2 (the metal roller 5) and the second contact surface 3 (the metal roller 6) have a predetermined length (for example, about 50 mm), and they are both at a constant interval (for example, 30). Since the region 7 between them is a treatment region, an alternating current can flow in a relatively wide range region 7, and the treatment region for the skin 4 is effectively widened. can do.

  Furthermore, the face device 1 according to this embodiment includes a plurality of LEDs 11. The light emitted from the LED 11 is disposed so as to irradiate the region 7 sandwiched between the first contact surface 2 and the second contact surface 3. In this embodiment, a configuration in which four LEDs 11 are arranged at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the region 7 so that the light of the LED 11 is irradiated to the entire region 7 is shown. It is not limited.

  For example, a configuration may be adopted in which a large number of LEDs 11 are arranged in an LED array extending in the axial direction of the metal rollers 5 and 6, and light from a large number of LEDs arranged in the LED array is irradiated onto the region 7. Moreover, LED11 may be arrange | positioned in multiple rows instead of 1 row. Further, when the area of the region 7 is small, the number of the LEDs 11 may be one.

  If LED11 which emits near infrared rays having a wavelength of, for example, about 850 to 950 nm is used, it is effective in activating skin cells. In addition, when the LED 11 that emits orange light or red light having a wavelength of 600 to 700 nm is used, a warm image is given to the user. In addition, when using LED which emits near infrared rays, since the light which LED emits cannot be confirmed visually, a user cannot confirm whether LED is lighting. Therefore, LEDs that emit near-infrared light and LEDs that emit orange light or red light are alternately arranged, for example, so that both the activation of skin cells by near-infrared light and the warm image given to vision can be realized. preferable.

  Each LED 11 is connected in series via a DC power supply circuit 12 and lead wires 13 and 14, and emits light when power is supplied from the DC power supply circuit 12.

  Further, for example, interlockable switches 15 and 16 are inserted in the lead wire 9 of the AC power supply circuit 8 and the lead wire 13 of the DC power supply circuit 12, and when these switches 15 and 16 are switched, the metal The configuration may be such that the supply of the AC voltage to the rollers 5 and 6 and the supply of the DC voltage to the LED 11 are performed in conjunction.

  The skin 4 on the user's face is supplied with an alternating current in the region 7 when an alternating voltage is applied to the metal rollers 5 and 6, and light is irradiated from the LED 11 around the central portion of the region 7. In other words, the skin 4 is activated in the treatment region 7 by flowing an alternating current, and at the same time, activation of the skin cells and metabolism are promoted by light. Thus, a handy type facial device with improved facial effect can be obtained by the synergistic action of alternating current and light.

  In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the AC voltage is applied to the metal rollers 5 and 6 has been described. However, instead of this, a configuration may be adopted in which a DC voltage is applied to the metal rollers 5 and 6. When a DC voltage is applied between the metal rollers 5 and 6 and the metal rollers 5 and 6 are in contact with the skin, a DC current flows through the skin between the metal rollers 5 and 6. It is also possible to activate the skin cells by passing a direct current through the skin instead of the alternating current.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of an external configuration of the handy type facial device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The face device 1 has a grip 20 for a user to hold with a hand, and an action portion 21 coupled to one end side of the grip 20. In this embodiment, the action part 21 has a pair of arms 22 and 23, the two metal rollers 5 and 6 are rotatably supported by the arms 22 and 23, and The LED array 24 in which the LEDs 11 are arranged is held.

  The pair of arms 22 and 23 are connected to an upper portion of the grip 20 by a support shaft 25, and an upper portion thereof can swing back and forth with respect to the grip 20 around the support shaft 25. With such a configuration, the position of the action portion 21 with respect to the grip 20 can be displaced, and the action portion 21 can be oriented in an easy-to-use direction in accordance with the orientation of the face on which the user operates, and there is an advantage that usability is improved. .

  At that time, since the positional relationship between the metal rollers 5 and 6 and the LED 11 does not change and is constant, the current and light from the LED can be supplied to the treatment region 7 in a satisfactory manner.

  The grip 20 is provided with an operation / display panel 26, and the panel 26 is preferably provided with the operation keys 27 of the interlocked switches 15 and 16 described above.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims.
