Description

  The present invention relates to a beauty apparatus that gives a predetermined cosmetic effect to a user's skin. Note that the term “skin” used in conjunction with “skin” as a target for providing a cosmetic effect in the present invention is treated as synonymous with “skin” on the body surface layer including not only the body surface but also subcutaneous tissue such as subcutaneous fat. Yes.

  Beauty devices that perform various operations related to predetermined beauty and skin beautification on the skin (skin) of the user's face, etc., are simple functions that are used at home and those that are low output, and are multifunctional that are used for business purposes. Various types are used, including those with high output. Among these beauty devices, the simple ones used at home include those that cool or heat the skin, those that apply suction to the skin, those that apply steam or mist to the skin, and light that irradiates the skin. In general, those that transmit ultrasonic vibrations to the skin, and those that perform iontophoresis by passing a weak current through the skin are commonly used.

  Among these, devices using an iontophoresis method capable of obtaining an excellent effect of deeply penetrating various active ingredients for the skin have been attracting attention in recent years. There are some which are indicated by -237545 gazette and JP, 2005-245521, A.

JP 2005-237545 A JP-A-2005-245521

  Conventional beauty devices are configured as described in each of the above patent documents, including devices that perform such ion introduction, cleansing devices that remove harmful components and waste products accumulated in the skin, For devices that promote blood circulation and give a massage effect, or devices that give a skin lifting (lifting) effect, the head part protruding from the body part of the device is usually applied directly to the skin subject to beauty such as the face through a cotton puff. After being applied, the skin is energized or heat or ultrasonic vibration is transmitted to the skin.

  The head part of the conventional various beauty devices has a mechanism in which a tip end surface, which is generally circular on the tip side in the protruding direction, is brought into contact with the skin, and this head part is fixed to the body part of the device. The force applied to the body part of the device held by the hand is applied to the skin as it is from the head part, and especially when the head part is pressed firmly to make it adhere to the skin, the pressing force is applied to the skin as it is. There was a problem that it took a burden.

  Also, when moving the head part along the skin to change the beauty target part, even if you try to move the entire device as it is, the fixed head part is difficult to follow along the skin, so that the entire contact is in good contact In addition to the need to move while adjusting the position, pressure is concentrated on the skin from the head surface, which is not so large, and the head part bites into the skin, causing friction between the head part and the skin. However, there is a problem that the head portion is difficult to move smoothly and is not easy to use.

  In addition, when the face is a target, since the circular tip surface of the head portion is brought into contact with any position of the face, in particular, the raised portion of the skin such as the nose side surface or the nose There is a problem that it is difficult to make the head part closely adhere to the concave corners of the skin such as the boundary part of the cheeks, and the beauty effect cannot be appropriately given to these parts.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems. With the head portion in an appropriate support state and shape, the head portion can be reliably brought into contact with the skin to perform a cosmetic operation, and an excellent cosmetic effect can be obtained. An object is to provide a beauty device.

A beauty device according to the present invention includes a main body portion held by a user, a head portion disposed in a protruding state on a part of the main body portion, and a control unit that adjusts and controls the operating state of the head portion. In the beauty device for performing a predetermined cosmetic operation on the user's skin with the head portion, the head portion is a convex shape having a top surface and a side surface located on the front end side in the protruding direction, and can be tilted. Is.

As described above, according to the present invention, the head portion can be tilted around the top surface near the top surface and separated from the main body portion, and in the state where the head portion is in contact with the user's skin, The force to move the head part with the operating force to move the main body part is greatly related to the tilting of the head part compared to the reaction force that is relatively applied from the skin to the head part as the head part moves. The reaction force applied to the head part from the head tilts the head part so that the resistance force accompanying the movement of the head part against the skin is smaller, that is, the head part does not bite into the skin and the top surface faces the skin. By simply tilting the head part, the top part of the head part can be made to follow the change in the inclination of the skin when the head part is moved along the skin. Contact area between the head and the head Secured to a separatory, even while moving the head portion, it is easily obtained the cosmetic effect is not the same as the stationary state of the head portion. In addition, as in the case where the head part can be tilted around a position close to the main body part away from the top surface, the force to move the head part with the operating force and the movement of the head part The reaction force applied from the skin to the head part acts together to incline the head part in the direction opposite to the moving direction, thereby reliably preventing the head part from getting into the skin. Reduces the burden on the skin .

In addition, the beauty device according to the present invention adjusts the operating state of the head unit, a main body unit held by the user, a head unit disposed in a protruding state on a part of the main body unit, and the head unit as needed. And a convex shape having a top surface and a side surface located on the distal end side in the protruding direction. In addition, an elastic body is interposed between the main body portion, the elastic body is elastically supported in a movable state within a predetermined range in a direction parallel to the protruding direction from the main body portion, and can be tilted.

When the convex head part is elastically supported by the main body part and the head part is brought into contact with the skin of the user, even if the main body part moves slightly and the positional relationship with the skin changes, the head part is By maintaining a proper contact state with the user's skin while being displaced relative to the part, the head part is not excessively pressed, and friction between the skin and the head part is suppressed. When moving the head with respect to the skin, the head is not easily caught on the skin or the head is less likely to rub against the skin, reducing the burden on the skin and the positional relationship between the head and the skin. Therefore, the user does not need to support the main body part while carefully adjusting the head part so that the head part is brought into contact with the skin, and can be used easily. In addition, the side surface of the head unit can be brought into contact with a portion of the skin that is the target of the operation related to the beauty, such as the side surface portion of the nose, where the top surface of the head unit is difficult to approach. It is excellent in terms of usability because it effectively uses each part of the head part and does not hold or change the body part in an unreasonable posture.

In addition, the cosmetic device according to the present invention has a concave portion in which the opening portion is circular on the side surface of the head portion so that an annular holding portion for holding the porous covering is attached to the head portion as necessary. And a plurality of protrusions that engage with the recesses on the side surface of the head unit at a plurality of locations on the inner periphery of the holding unit, and the holding unit is disposed on the side surface of the head unit with respect to the head unit on which the porous covering is mounted It is located outside, and the projection of the holding part is engaged with the concave part on the side surface of the head part so that the holding part is attached to the head part .

Thus, according to the present invention, the holding portion that holds the porous covering can be engaged with the concave portion on the side surface of the head portion.

In addition, the beauty device according to the present invention has a groove shape that is continuous on the entire side surface of the head portion so that an annular holding portion for holding the porous covering is attached to the head portion as necessary. Provided with protrusions that engage with the recesses on the side surface of the head part at a plurality of locations on the inner periphery of the holding part,
With respect to the head portion on which the porous covering is mounted, the holding portion is positioned outside the side surface of the head portion, the protrusion of the holding portion is engaged with the concave portion on the side surface of the head portion, and the holding portion is The head is attached to the head portion .

As described above, according to the present invention, since the concave portion is provided continuously and widely in the circumferential direction, the holding portion can be easily attached to the head portion without fine alignment.

(First embodiment of the present invention)
Hereinafter, a cosmetic device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In each of the drawings, the cosmetic device 1 according to the present embodiment is provided for a cosmetic operation such as ion introduction to the skin (skin) 50 which is disposed near the end of the main body 11 and the main body 11 held by the user. A head portion 12 used; a spring 14 as an elastic body that is disposed in the main body portion 11 and elastically supports the head portion 12; and an auxiliary electrode portion 11c disposed in a grip portion of the main body portion 11 by a user. The holding portion 15 that holds the porous covering 13 with respect to the head portion 12 and the adjustment state of the energization state through the user between the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c disposed in the main body portion 11 are controlled. It is the structure provided with the control part 16 to perform.

  The main body portion 11 is arranged with the head portion 12 protruding toward one end, while the predetermined length range on the other end side is suitable for the user to hold it by hand during use. The grip portion 11a has a thickness, and the longitudinal direction of the grip portion 11a and the front direction of the head portion 12 are inclined by a predetermined angle. As a battery (not shown).

  Further, on the back side of the main body 11 without the head unit 12, an operation unit 11b is provided for switching the cosmetic operation ON / OFF, the type of operation, the strength, etc. in response to a user's input operation. And the auxiliary electrode part 11c which consists of an electroconductive member and was connected to the control part 16 is arrange | positioned by the side surface of the holding part 11a in the main-body part 11, and when a user hold | grips the holding part 11a, the finger and auxiliary electrode The part 11c comes into contact. The main body 11 can incorporate a vibration source such as a vibrator, and can add vibration to the skin 70 along with energization to enhance the beauty effect.

  Further, the holding part 15 is attached to the front side of the main body part 11 where the head part 12 is located so as to be tiltable with respect to the main body part 11. The attachment part of the holding part 15 in the main body part 11 is completely cut off from the inside of the main body part 11, and it is possible to prevent the liquid for ion introduction and the like from entering the inside from this part.

  The head portion 12 is made of a conductive material such as metal, and has a convex shape, specifically, a generally elliptical shape having a gently curved top surface 12a capable of surface contact with the skin 70 and an inclined side surface 12b. It has a frustum shape, is configured to protrude from the front side of one end of the main body 11 with the top side as a tip, and is in contact with the skin 70 directly or via the porous covering 13, A cosmetic operation related to energization such as ion introduction is performed on 70.

  The head portion 12 includes an elliptical long axis direction on the top surface 12a having an elliptical shape, that is, a longitudinal edge portion 12c serving as an end of the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 11, and an elliptical short axis direction, that is, the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 11. In the horizontal edge portion 12d serving as an end portion in the direction orthogonal to each other, the intersecting portions with the side surfaces are rounded and chamfered. Then, the curvature of the round chamfered shape at the intersection of the vertical edge portion 12c and the side surface is made smaller (the radius of the roundness is larger) than the curvature of the rounded chamfered shape at the intersection of the lateral edge portion 12d and the side surface (see FIG. 4).

  Inside the head portion 12, a spring 14 as the elastic body is interposed between the head portion 12 and the main body portion 11, and a rod-like support shaft portion 14 a is attached to the main body portion 11 as the head support portion. It is attached in a direction parallel to the protruding direction of the portion 12 so that it can advance and retract within a predetermined range. The support shaft portion 14 a is biased by the spring 14 in a direction away from the main body portion 11. The head portion 12 is a fulcrum portion 12f at the center of the back surface close to the top surface 12a on the inner side, and slidably contacts the tip of the support shaft portion 14a, and is moved away from the main body portion 11 by the spring 14 through the support shaft portion 14a. It is elastically supported while being biased in the direction (see FIG. 7), and can be tilted with respect to the support shaft portion 14a and the main body 11 (see FIGS. 8A and 9B).

  As described above, the head portion 12 can be tilted around the fulcrum portion 12f near the top surface 12a and away from the main body portion 11, and the head portion 12 is used in a state where the head portion 12 is in contact with the skin 70. Compared to the reaction force applied to the head unit 12 from the skin 70 with the movement of the head unit 12, the force for moving the head unit 12 with the operation force to move the body unit 11 is compared with the head unit. The reaction force applied to the head portion 12 from the skin 70 inclines the head portion 12 so that the resistance force accompanying the movement of the head portion 12 against the skin 70 is further reduced, that is, the head portion 12 is It only tilts so that the top surface 12a faces the skin 70 (see FIG. 8A).

  For this reason, when moving the head part 12 along the skin 70, the head part top surface 12a can be made to follow the change of the inclination of the skin 70, and the top surface 12a can always be along the skin 70. Even when the head portion 12 is moved while ensuring a sufficient contact area between the head portion 12 and the head portion 12, a cosmetic effect that is the same as when used without moving the head portion 12 can be easily obtained. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8B as a comparative example, if the head portion 18 can be tilted around a position close to the main body portion 17 away from the top surface 18a, the head is accompanied by an operating force. Both the force for moving the portion 18 and the reaction force applied from the skin 70 to the head portion 18 along with the movement of the head portion 18 act to tilt the head portion 18 in the direction opposite to the moving direction. As a result, the head portion 18 enters the skin 70. By enabling the head portion 12 to tilt around the fulcrum portion 12f near the top surface 12a as in the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent such head portion from biting into the skin and to suppress the burden on the skin. .

  An edge of the head portion 12 on the bottom surface side of the frustum is shaped like a bowl having a slightly larger outer diameter than other portions, and is housed in the main body portion 11, and a gap that partially accommodates the head portion 12 in the main body portion 11. This is a mechanism that prevents the head portion 12 from being detached from the main body portion 11 by making the inlet opening portion of the portion have a smaller diameter than the bottom side edge portion of the head portion 12. In addition, since the edge portion of the head portion 12 on the bottom surface side of the frustum is constrained by the main body portion 11, the movement range in the protruding direction of the head portion 12 biased in the direction away from the main body portion 11 by the spring 14 In this mechanism, the tilt angle range of the head portion 12 with respect to the support shaft portion 14a is limited.

  In addition, the head unit 12 is electrically connected to the control unit 16 in the main body unit 11, and can be energized via the user's body with the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in the grip unit 11a. It is. When the spring 14 and the support shaft portion 14a are made of a conductive material, the spring 14 and the support shaft portion 14a may be used as a part of the current-carrying wiring from the main body portion 11 side to the head portion 12. Absent.

  For energization, the control unit 16 applies a voltage between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c so that energization can occur, and the porous covering is impregnated with a liquid agent such as skin lotion containing an electrolyte component. 13 or directly when the head part 12 contacts the skin 70 such as the face and the auxiliary electrode part 11c comes into contact with the palm or the finger of the hand having the grip part 11a, the head part 12 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c. Is a mechanism that is energized through the user's body. In this case, the human body becomes a conductor. The head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c are sufficiently separated from each other, so that a hand or the like touching the auxiliary electrode portion 11c is not in contact with the head portion 12 and no current is generated.

  With the energization of the skin 70 in contact with the head portion 12, an ionic active ingredient contained in a liquid such as lotion that has been applied to the skin surface in advance or has been soaked in the porous covering 13, This is a mechanism capable of executing ion introduction (iontophoresis) introduced into the skin by ion movement based on current from the control unit 16. Since the ion introduction method itself is known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, as cleansing during face washing, it is also possible to obtain a state in which dirt components such as charged wastes are transferred from the skin side to the head unit 12 side by energization and taken into the porous coating 13.

  The porous covering 13 is used as a cover for covering the head portion 12 by forming cotton fibers processed by degreasing, such as cut cotton and cotton puff, into a non-woven sheet larger than the head portion 12. It has the property that it can be absorbed and retained as it is. In addition, as long as this porous covering body 13 can be impregnated with skin lotion or the like and has a flexible porous soft sheet shape, those other than cotton can be used.

  The head portion 12 is desirably made of a material that is stable with respect to energization, such as titanium, in terms of ion introduction and the like. That is, if the head part 12 is made of a plating surface such as chromium, metal ions are eluted on the surface of the head part 12 by electrolysis when ions are introduced, and the eluted metal ions have an adverse effect on the skin. However, if titanium having high stability is used on the electrode surface, metal ions of titanium are not eluted by electrolysis in the head portion 12 even when energized, and can be used safely. The electrode surface material is preferably pure titanium, but may be a titanium compound. In addition to using metal such as gold in addition to titanium, it may have a structure formed by attaching a conductor such as metal to the surface of an elastic body such as conductive resin, conductive rubber, or rubber, or arranging a thin film of conductor. it can.

  The holding part 15 is formed in a shape that covers a part of the main body part 11 along the front side of the main body part 11, and is provided with an opening hole 15 a that exposes the head part 12 at one end part, and the other end part is a tilt center. It is attached to the other end part of the main body part 11 so as to be tiltable, and can be tilted from a position overlapping the front side of the main body part 11 to a position where the head part 12 protrudes from the main body part 11. The holding portion 15 may be in a shape that does not cover the auxiliary electrode portion 11c of the main body portion 11. For example, the holding portion 15 may be a substantially narrow rod shape other than the periphery of the head portion.

  The opening hole 15a of the holding portion 15 is an elliptical or oval hole that is slightly larger than the head portion 12. When the holding portion 15 is tilted, the head portion 12 is relatively opened. It will be in the state to enter and exit. When the holding portion 15 is tilted to a position where it overlaps the main body portion 11, the head portion 12 protrudes forward from the opening hole 15 a of the holding portion 15, and when the head portion 12 is applied to the skin 70, a more rear holding portion is provided. 15 is in a state where it is difficult to touch the skin 70.

  A protrusion 15b is formed on the edge of the opening hole 15a so as to protrude toward the main body 11 side. In addition to being continuous along the edge of the opening hole 15a, the protrusion 15b may have an intermittent shape or a wave shape.

  The holding part 15 is tilted in a direction away from the head part 12 so as to be in a protruding state on the front side of the main body part 11 (see FIG. 5), and then the top surface 12a of the head part 12 is covered. When the porous covering 13 is positioned on the head portion surface, and the holding portion 15 is tilted so as to approach the head portion 12 with respect to the main body portion 11 and overlapped with the main body portion 11, the peripheral edge of the porous covering body 13 is obtained. The portion is sandwiched between the holding portion 15 and the main body portion 11 so that the porous covering 13 is not easily detached (see FIG. 6), and the porous covering 13 is positioned on the head portion 12 surface. It is a mechanism that can be maintained. In the use state, when the user holds the grip portion 11a and the holding portion 15 of the main body portion 11 together, the holding portion 15 and the main body portion 11 are not separated from each other, and the porous covering body 13 sandwiched between them is held. Can be securely held.

  The length from the tilting center of the holding portion 15 to the opening hole 15a is set as long as possible, and the holding of the main body portion 11 when the head portion 12 enters the opening hole 15a and the holding portion 15 overlaps the main body portion 11 is performed. The inclination angle of the portion 15 is made as small as possible, and the holding portion 15 is pressed substantially in parallel with the main body portion 11 so that the state in which the porous covering 13 is uniformly held can be obtained.

  The control unit 16 is built in the main body unit 11 and controls energization between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in response to an input operation to the operation unit 11b by the user. The control unit 16 sets a mode of energization operation for each cosmetic application. In this embodiment, a cleansing mode for removing harmful components and waste accumulated in the skin, and a lotion or the like in the deep part of the skin. There are three modes: an iontophoresis mode for penetrating active ingredients, and a blood circulation promotion mode for switching the electrode polarity when energized to promote blood circulation of the skin.

  In the cleansing mode, the iontophoresis mode, and the blood circulation promotion mode, although the point where the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c are energized is common, the direction and waveform of the current during energization are different. The blood circulation promotion mode has two modes, massage and lifting, with the same energization waveform but different energization times. The massage mode mainly promotes blood circulation of the skin and maintains its elasticity by energization after the cleansing mode. On the other hand, the lifting mode is intended to bring about the effect of raising the skin while mainly promoting the blood circulation of the skin and fixing and penetrating the active ingredient by energization after the iontophoresis mode.

  Switching between these energization modes is performed based on a user input operation to the mode switch 11d of the operation unit 11b. When the user first operates the mode changeover switch 11d immediately after the power is turned on, the control unit 16 is in a state where it can execute any one of the cleansing mode, the iontophoresis mode, and the blood circulation promotion mode. In addition, each mode may be continuously executed in a predetermined order (for example, cleansing, massage, iontophoresis, and lifting). In that case, it is preferable that the control unit 16 notifies the end of each mode by lighting a display lamp or the like, temporarily stops the energization operation of each mode, and shifts to the next mode after a predetermined time.

  In addition, when the control unit 16 energizes between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c corresponding to each operation mode, the control unit 16 adjusts the intensity of the current flowing through the user's skin by the energization. May be. In this case, the adjustment is performed based on a user's input operation to a strength change switch provided separately in the operation unit 11b.

  The control unit 16 is a computer having a CPU, a memory, an input / output interface, and the like as its hardware configuration, and is a mechanism that causes the computer to operate as a control means by a program stored in the memory or the like. The computer constituting the control unit 16 is usually mounted as a microcomputer integrally formed with a CPU, a memory, a ROM, and the like.

  In addition, the control unit 16 detects a state where the head unit 12 is in contact with the skin 70 and can be energized via the body or the like between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c using a pulse, and the energization related to the beauty It is the structure provided with the function to start. In order to determine the energization possible state, if any pulse can be output from one electrode, each electrode portion is in contact with the skin because this pulse is detected by the other electrode. Therefore, when this pulse is no longer detected by the other electrode, it can be determined that energization is impossible. Then, energization related to beauty is stopped when energization is impossible, and energization is resumed when energization is possible again.

  Whether a detection pulse is output to the head unit 12 or the auxiliary electrode unit 11c differs depending on each mode, but the pulse output from one electrode passes the other through the human body. It is necessary to drop the potential of the electrode on which the pulse is not output to the GND level so as to pass through the other electrode. For example, when a pulse is output from the head unit 12, the potential of the auxiliary electrode unit 11c is lowered to the GND level. On the other hand, when outputting a pulse from the auxiliary electrode part 11c, the electric potential of the head part 12 is dropped to the GND level.

  Next, the energization operation state of the beauty device according to the present embodiment will be described. As a premise, it is assumed that the beauty device 1 is activated by the user's operation of the power switch 11e of the operation unit 11b, and the user is in a state where the user holds the grip unit 11a and is directed to the skin site where the head unit 12 is desired to be used. If the operation mode is selected and input by the user, the control unit 16 enters a state in which execution of each operation mode can be started.

  When performing cleansing, first, the user tilts the holding portion 15 away from the head portion 12 and protrudes to the front side of the main body portion 11, and soaks in the wiping lotion containing the electrolyte component. The porous covering 13 is positioned on the surface of the head portion 12 (see FIG. 5). Further, the holding portion 15 is tilted in a direction approaching the head portion 12 with respect to the main body portion 11, and the head portion 12 is relatively advanced into the opening hole 15 a in the upper portion of the holding portion 15, and the holding portion 15 is moved to the front side of the main body portion 11. , The peripheral portion of the porous covering 13 is sandwiched between the holding portion 15 and the main body portion 11 so that the porous covering 13 is held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 12, and the porous covering The head portion 12 covered with the body 13 is projected from the opening hole 15a of the holding portion 15 (see FIG. 6).

  The porous covering 13 is relatively pressed by receiving a reaction force due to the elastic force of the spring 14 on the inner side from the head 12 by the amount that the head 12 is slightly pushed down toward the main body 11 while being held. The porous covering 13 is given tension by being pushed from the head portion 12, and adheres to the surface of the head portion 12 in a stretched state without wrinkles, and can contact the skin in this stretched state. The contact area with the head portion 12 and the skin can be sufficiently secured without difficulty.

  In the state where the porous covering 13 is held by the holding portion 15 while covering the head portion 12, the end of the porous covering 13 extends along the main body 11, and the porous covering 13 is porous outward from the main body 11. For example, when the user projects the head portion 12 toward the skin near the eyes, the end portion of the porous covering 13 enters the eyes, or the operation relating to the beauty is performed. It can be prevented from becoming an obstacle.

  When the user operates the mode selector switch 11d of the operation unit 11b to select the cleansing mode, the control unit 16 first outputs a detection signal. In the state where the head part 12 is separated from the skin, since the circuit between the head part 12 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c is not closed through the body, there is no energization, but the user moves the main body part 11 to move the head When the part 12 is brought into close contact with the skin 70 through the porous covering 13, the energization through the body and the skin lotion in the porous covering 13 becomes possible, and this state is detected by receiving the output detection signal. Then, the control part 16 transfers to the electricity supply state which concerns on cleansing.

  That is, the control unit 16 executes energization having a short-cycle pulse waveform between the head unit 12 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c, and the charged fine dirt component on the skin surface and inside (the cosmetic component that could not be removed, the tobacco) The smoke component, the aging skin, etc.) are attracted to the head portion 12 and are transferred from the skin side to the porous coating body 13 side, so that the dirt component is taken into the porous coating body 13. Dirt can be removed by suction.

  Thus, in a state where the head portion 12 is in close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 13, the head portion 12 is elastically supported with respect to the main body portion 11 and can be tilted. Even if the support state of the part 11 is slightly changed, the positional relationship between the head part 12 and the skin is maintained, and the porous covering 13 on the surface of the head part can be applied to the skin without difficulty while maintaining an appropriate contact pressure to the skin. The user does not need to support the main body portion 11 with careful fine adjustment so that the head portion 12 is brought into contact with the skin.

  Of the skin 70 to be cleansed, the side surface 12b of the head portion 12 can be used for a portion where the top surface 12a of the head portion 12 is difficult to approach, such as the side surface portion of the nose, and the side surface 12b is interposed via the porous covering 13. By contacting the skin 70 at such a location, the user does not have to hold or change the main body 11 in an unreasonable posture. For the concave corners of the skin such as the boundary between the nose and cheeks, the porous covering 13 is formed by using a round chamfered shape portion having a large curvature of the lateral edge portion 12d of the top surface 12a of the head portion 12. Thus, the head portion 12 can be reliably brought into contact with the corner portion of the skin 70, and cleansing can be performed without deviation (see FIG. 10).

  The energization in the cleansing mode is repeated at a period corresponding to the low frequency while the head portion 12 is in close contact with the skin 70 through the porous covering 13, and the entire energization waveform is changed to a low frequency waveform. A high-frequency pulse waveform is superimposed.

  When the head portion 12 is moved little by little on the skin while the porous covering 13 is in contact with the skin 70, the target position of dirt removal can be changed in the energized state, but the head portion 12 is near the top surface. The reaction force applied to the head portion 12 from the skin acts so that the top surface of the head portion 12 faces the skin by being tiltable about a fulcrum portion 12f at a high position away from the main body portion 11. In addition, the state in which the top surface of the head portion 12 is along the skin is always obtained, and the porous covering 13 can be surely brought into contact with the skin (see FIG. 9B). The cleansing effect can be demonstrated without changing the condition.

  When the head unit 12 is separated from the skin 70 in order to interrupt the cleansing operation or change the removal position, the pulse accompanying the energization cannot be detected by the other electrode, and the control unit 16 separates the head unit 12 from the skin. The power supply related to cleansing is stopped. When the energization is stopped in this way, the detection signal is output again. When the head unit 12 is brought into close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 13 again, the energized state can be detected by receiving a detection signal, and the control unit 16 shifts to the energized state related to cleansing. And resume energization. When cleansing is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by using the operation unit 11b or turn off the power.

  After the cleansing mode ends, the gripping state is released by releasing the hand gripped from the gripping part 11a and the holding part 15 of the main body part 11, and the holding part 15 overlapping the main body part 11 can be tilted. Then, the holding unit 15 is tilted in a direction away from the head unit 12 to protrude to the front side of the main body unit 11, and the porous covering 13 released from the holding state by releasing the holding unit 15 is placed on the head unit 12. To remove the head portion 12 and clean the head portion 12. In addition, the user cleans the face and removes the dirt remaining on the skin.

  When ion introduction is performed, the user tilts the holding portion 15 away from the head portion 12 and protrudes to the front side of the main body portion 11 so as to soak the protective lotion containing the electrolyte component, as described above. The porous covering 13 is placed on the surface of the head portion 12. Further, the holding portion 15 is tilted in a direction approaching the head portion 12 with respect to the main body portion 11, and the holding portion 15 is superimposed on the front side of the main body portion 11, so that a porous covering is provided between the holding portion 15 and the main body portion 11. 13 is held, and the porous covering 13 is held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 12. In this case, after the porous covering 13 is held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 12, lotion may be soaked into the porous covering 13.

  As in the case of the cleansing, the retained porous covering 13 is relatively pressed by receiving a reaction force due to the elastic force of the spring 14 from the head portion 12, and the head portion is stretched without wrinkles. In addition to being in close contact with the surface, the skin can be contacted in this stretched state.

  When the user operates the mode switch 11d of the operation unit 11b to select the ion introduction mode, the control unit 16 first outputs a detection signal. In the state where the head part 12 is separated from the skin 70, the circuit between the head part 12 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c is not closed with the body interposed therebetween, so there is no energization.

  When the user moves the main body part 11 to bring the head part 12 into close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 13, the energization via the body and the lotion in the porous covering 13 becomes possible, and the output detection When this state is detected by receiving a signal for use, the control unit 16 shifts to an energization state related to ion introduction, which has a polarity opposite to that in the cleansing case, and performs energization with a short-period pulse waveform with the head unit 12. It is executed between the auxiliary electrode portions 11c, and the ionic active ingredient (such as provitamin C) in the skin lotion is transferred to the skin side with the current flowing through the porous covering 13, and the ions are easily penetrated by the current. The active ingredient penetrates quickly into the skin. As in the case of cleansing, the rounded chamfered shape portion having a large curvature of the top side lateral edge portion 12d of the head portion 12 is also formed on the surface of the concave corner portion of the skin such as the boundary between the nose and cheeks of the skin 70. It can be made to contact reliably through the porous coating 13, and ion introduction can be performed evenly.

  Also in this ion introduction mode, the energization is repeated at a cycle corresponding to the low frequency while the head portion 12 is in close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 13, and the entire energization waveform is low frequency. A pulse waveform having a higher frequency is superimposed on the waveform.

  If the head portion 12 is moved little by little on the skin while the porous covering 13 is in contact with the skin 70, the target position for ion introduction can be changed while the energized state is reached. Since it is tiltable about a fulcrum part 12f at a high position away from the main body part 11, the reaction force applied from the skin to the head part 12 is applied to the skin on the top surface of the head part 12 as in the case of cleansing. A state in which the top surface of the head portion 12 is kept in line with the skin, acting so as to face each other, the porous covering 13 can be surely brought into contact with the skin, and the head portion is stationary The effect of ion introduction can be demonstrated as ever.

  If the head part 12 is separated from the skin 70 in order to interrupt ion introduction or greatly change the introduction position, a pulse accompanying energization cannot be detected by the other electrode, so that the control part 16 separates the head part 12 from the skin. It is determined that the current has been applied, and the energization related to the ion introduction is stopped. When the energization is stopped in this way, the detection signal is output again. When the head unit 12 is brought into close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 13 again, the energizable state can be detected by receiving a detection signal, and the control unit 16 enters the energized state related to ion introduction. Move on and resume energization. When ion introduction is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by using the operation unit 11b or turn off the power.

  After completion of this ion introduction mode, the holding part 15 is tilted from the peripheral position of the electrode part vicinity of the main body part 11 to the front side of the head part 12 so as to protrude from the main body part 11, and the porous state released from the holding state. The quality covering 13 may be removed and the head portion 12 may be cleaned as necessary.

  When energizing the skin such as massage or lifting, the porous cover 13 is not used and the holding part 15 is overlapped with the front side of the main body part 11 to bring the head part 12 into contact with the skin. It is assumed that the holding unit 15 does not become an obstacle. At the same time, apply a lotion or milky lotion to the skin as needed.

  When the user operates the mode switch 11d of the operation unit 11b to select the massage mode or the lifting mode, the control unit 16 first outputs a detection signal. In a state in which the head part 12 is separated from the skin, there is no energization because the circuit between the head part 12 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c is not closed via the body.

  When the user moves the main body part 11 to bring the head part 12 into close contact with the skin 70, energization through the body becomes possible, and when this state is detected by receiving the output detection signal, the control part 16 massages. In the massage mode, the controller 16 switches the positive and negative pulses to a low-frequency waveform that alternately appears with the same pulse width with a predetermined pause time in between. Is performed between the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c, and the body 70 is energized between the head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c. The skin 70 is energized at a low frequency, and the skin 70 is activated to have a massage effect. Will promote blood circulation.

  Further, in the lifting mode, the control unit 16 executes energization with a waveform having a frequency lower than that of the massage mode, in which the positive and negative pulses alternately appear with the same pulse width across a predetermined pause time, The head portion 12 and the auxiliary electrode portion 11c are energized through the body, the skin 70 is energized at a low frequency, promotes penetration of the active ingredient into the skin 70, and lifts and lifts the skin. It will give an effect.

  When the head portion 12 is moved little by little on the skin while being in contact with the skin 70, the target position of energization can be changed. However, the head portion 12 is a fulcrum at a high position away from the main body portion 11 near the top surface. Since it is possible to tilt around the portion 12f, the reaction force applied from the skin to the head portion 12 acts so that the top surface of the head portion 12 faces the skin, as in the case of cleansing and ion introduction, A state in which the top surface of the head portion 12 is kept along the skin is always obtained, the head portion 12 can be surely brought into contact with the skin, and various effects associated with energization are exhibited as in the state where the head portion is stationary. Be made.

  When the head unit 12 is separated from the skin 70 in order to interrupt energization or change the energization position, a pulse accompanying the energization cannot be detected by the other electrode, so that the control unit 16 has separated the head unit 12 from the skin. Determine and stop energization related to massage and lifting. When the energization is stopped in this way, the detection signal is output again. When the head unit 12 is brought into close contact with the skin 70 again, the energized state can be detected by receiving a detection signal, and the control unit 16 shifts to an energized state related to massage or lifting and resumes energization. To do. Further, when the user switches the operation mode to another one by the operation unit 11b or turns off the power, the energization is completely terminated.

  As described above, in the beauty device according to the present embodiment, the substantially elliptic frustum-shaped head portion 12 is elastically supported by the main body portion 11 and can be tilted with respect to the main body portion 11. Even if the body part 11 moves slightly and the positional relationship with the skin 70 changes, the head part 12 is displaced relative to the body part 11 while the body part 11 moves slightly. Maintains an appropriate contact state, the head portion 12 is not excessively pressed, and the head portion 12 is moved when the head portion 12 is moved relative to the skin 70 while suppressing friction between the skin 70 and the head portion 12. The state where 12 is caught on the skin 70 or the head part 12 is difficult to rub the skin 70 is obtained, and the burden on the skin 70 can be reduced. Further, in the skin 70 of the target portion such as cleansing or ion introduction, for example, a portion where the top surface 12a of the head portion 12 is difficult to approach, such as a side surface portion of the nose, The side surface 12b can be brought into contact with each other, and the user can effectively use each part of the head part 12 to avoid holding or changing the main body part 11 in an unreasonable posture, which is excellent in terms of usability.

  In the beauty device according to the embodiment, the inclined side surface of the head unit 12 is formed as a simple elliptical conical surface having a linear cross-sectional shape. May be formed as a rounded curved surface that is recessed toward the inside of the head portion at an intermediate position in the protruding direction of the head portion, for example, a curved surface having a circular cross section as shown in FIG. Further, the concave roundness of the side surface 19b can correspond to the rounded three-dimensional shape of the skin 70 such as the nose side surface (see FIG. 12), etc., so that the fit can be enhanced and the contact area between the head portion 19 and the skin 70 is sufficient. It can be ensured and the beauty effect on the skin can be given more efficiently.

  In the beauty device according to the embodiment, the head portion 12 is a fulcrum portion 12f at the center of the back surface near the top surface 12a, and slidably contacts the tip of the support shaft portion 14a, thereby supporting the support shaft portion 14a and the main body portion. In addition to this, the head portion and the support shaft portion are engaged and connected while forming a joint having a degree of freedom of tilting in each direction at the fulcrum portion position in the head portion. In this case, the head portion can be configured to be tiltable with respect to the support shaft portion and the main body portion. In this case, the head portion is connected and integrated with the support shaft portion, and the main body portion together with the support shaft portion. Therefore, it is not necessary to form the edge portion of the head portion on the bottom surface side of the frustum in a bowl shape so that the head portion is not detached from the main body portion.

(Second embodiment of the present invention)
In the beauty device according to the first embodiment, the holding portion 15 is attached to the main body portion 11 so as to be tiltable and is always handled integrally. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the porous portion along the head portion is used. As long as the peripheral portion of the covering body can be pressed and held, the holding portion may be separated from the main body portion and detachable from the main body portion. For example, as a second embodiment, FIG. And as shown in FIG. 14, the holding | maintenance part 25 is made into the cover shape which can be attached or detached on the front side of the main-body part 21, and the direction attached to the main-body part 21 of this holding | maintenance part 25 is changed with use at the time of use. It can also be set as the structure which enables.

  In this case, the holding portion 25 is symmetrical with respect to the central portion in the longitudinal direction except for the opening hole 25a for exposing the head portion 22, and the opening hole 25a of the holding portion 22 is used when the head portion 22 is used. The holding part 25 is overlapped on the front side of the main body part 21 with the head part 22 while the head part 22 relatively enters the opening hole 25a so that the holding part 22 is placed on the main body part. 21 is attached and integrated. When using the porous covering, the holding portion 25 is overlapped after the porous covering is positioned in front of the head portion 22, and the peripheral portion of the porous covering is sandwiched between the holding portion 25 and the main body portion 21. The porous coating can be held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 22.

  On the other hand, when the storage unit is not in use, the opening 25a of the holding part 22 is set to the side away from the head part 22, and the holding part 25 is superimposed on the front side of the main body part 21, and the holding part 22 is attached to the main body part 21 and integrated. (See FIG. 14B), the head portion 22 that is elastically supported as in the first embodiment is pushed down by the holding portion 25 and sinks into the holding portion 25 without difficulty. Is obtained.

  The head unit 22 that is elastically supported and movable in the beauty device 2 is configured to be housed inside the holding unit 25 in a non-use state, so that a strong external force is applied to the head unit accidentally and the head unit is damaged. Can be avoided. In addition, regardless of the use or non-use of the porous coating, the holding part 25 is attached to the main body part 21 and integrated for use. Therefore, the risk of leaving the holding part 25 unattended and losing it can be reduced. .

  In addition, in the configuration in which the holding portion is detachable from the main body as in the above case, the holding portion is made of an elastically deformable material so that the holding portion can be engaged with and attached to the main body with some deformation. This is preferable in that the structure can be simplified. In addition, the holding part that can be attached to and detached from the main body part does not need to be sized to cover the whole main body part. If the porous covering can be held on the head part surface, the vicinity of the head part of the main body part There is no problem even if the size can be attached only to the body, and it may be attached to the main body only when the porous covering is used, such as cleansing or ion introduction, so that the porous covering can be held.

(Third embodiment of the present invention)
In the beauty device according to the first embodiment, the head unit 12 is configured to have a substantially elliptic frustum shape having a substantially elliptical top surface 12a and an inclined side surface 12b. For example, the head portion may be formed as another frustum shape such as a truncated cone having a circular cross section, a long truncated cone having a circular cross section, or a truncated pyramid having a polygonal cross section. You can also.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 15, in the third embodiment, when the head portion 32 has a substantially truncated pyramid shape, the horizontal length of the head portion is ensured in the same manner as in the case of other truncated cone shapes. The direction dimension can be narrowed, and by sufficiently securing the vertical dimension, the apparatus can be reduced in size and slim while maintaining the efficiency of cleansing and ion introduction performed by moving the head portion 32 in the lateral direction. Further, by making the top surface of the head portion 32 a gentle curved surface and making the lengths of both ends in the vertical direction different from each other, a finger-like contact feeling can be obtained, so that the head portion 32 is directly or porous. It is possible to reduce a sense of incongruity when contacting the skin through the quality covering.

  In addition, of the vertical edge portions 32c and 32d of the top surface 32a of the head portion 32, the curvature of the rounded chamfered shape at the intersection between the one vertical edge portion 32c and the side surface 32b is set as the other vertical edge portion 32d and the side surface 32b. It is made small with respect to each curvature of the round chamfering shape in the intersection part and the round chamfering shape in the intersection part of the horizontal edge part 32e and the side surface 32b. For example, with respect to the concave corners of the skin such as the boundary between the nose and the cheek, a rounded chamfered portion having a larger curvature such as the lateral edge portion 32e of the head portion 32 is directly or via a porous covering. Therefore, it can reach the back of the corner and reliably come into contact, and cleansing and ion introduction can be performed without unevenness in such a corner. Further, the round chamfered shape portion having a small curvature at the vertical edge portion 32c can improve the feel by making the contact when the top surface 32a of the head portion 32 abuts the skin smooth.

(Fourth embodiment of the present invention)
In the beauty device according to the first embodiment, the top surface 12a of the head portion 12 is a gently curved surface and is not particularly provided with irregularities. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as a fourth embodiment, FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, a plurality of small concave portions 42 c whose opening portions are circular can be provided on the top surface 42 a of the head portion 42. The bottom surface of the recess 42c has a curved surface that is deepest at the center, and when the top surface 42a of the head part 42 is directly applied to the skin 70 with the skin lotion 80 applied to the skin 70, the pressure does not contact the skin 70. The lotion 80 can be held in the concave portion 42 c that is not applied (see FIG. 17), and energization can be performed while the lotion 80 is located between the head portion 42 and the skin 70.

  In particular, when energization stimulation to the skin such as massage or lifting is performed in a state where skin lotion or milky lotion is applied to the skin, the recess 42c where the skin lotion applied to the skin does not contact the skin and is not pressurized. Thus, it is difficult for the liquid to flow down, and the state in which the lotion or the like is positioned between the head portion 42 and the skin 70 can be maintained. Thus, it is possible to appropriately exert the effect on the skin without wastefully consuming the lotion or the like that has been extruded and flowed down with the contact between the skin and the head portion.

  In addition, the opening shape of the plurality of recesses provided on the top surface of the head portion is not limited to the configuration in which all of them are formed as a circular shape having the same diameter as shown in FIG. 16, but in addition, as shown in FIG. The circular shape of the plurality of concave portions 42d provided on the surface 42a is such that the diameter decreases as it progresses outward from the central portion of the top surface 42a, or the concave portions 42e are arranged and formed in a lattice shape as shown in FIG. Further, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the opening shape of the recess is changed. Further, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 18, the depth of the recesses is changed such that the depths of the recesses 42c and 42d increase from the central portion of the top surface 42a to the outside. You can also

  Furthermore, in addition to providing a concave portion on the top surface, as shown in FIG. 20, a concave portion 42f is provided on the side surface 42b so that the contour shape viewed from the front of the head portion 42 has a constriction, or the top surface It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a plurality of small concave portions as provided in the above are provided on the side surface. As in the case of the top surface, when the side surface 42b is brought into contact with the skin, the concave portion 42f that does not come into contact with the skin and is not pressurized holds the lotion, and the lotion is interposed between the head portion 42 and the skin. The skin can be energized in a wet state.

  In this way, in addition to the configuration in which the concave portion is provided on the top surface or the side surface of the head portion, as shown in FIG. 21, it is also possible to have a configuration in which the concave portion 42g is provided on either the top surface 42a or the side surface 42b in the head portion 42. Even when any position of the portion 42 is brought into contact with the skin, the concave portion 42g holds the lotion or the like and can maintain the state in which the lotion or the like is interposed between the head portion 42 and the skin. .

  The concave part provided in such a head part does not apply pressure from the skin, and wipes off dirt adhered to the surface after use while ensuring a state that can retain the skin lotion attached to the skin. The size of the recess opening is preferably 1 mm or more so that it can be easily cleaned, and the intersection of the recess and the top surface or side surface at the outer edge of the recess is rounded and chamfered (see FIG. 17). It is preferable that the top surface or the side surface and the recess are smoothly continuous. Furthermore, the concave portion has a long hole shape extending linearly to the side or a groove shape that is longer and continuous, for example, concave portions 42h and 42i that are continuous on the top surface 42a as shown in FIG. Although a shape like a concave portion 52g of the side surface 52b as shown in FIG. 29 described later may be used, in that case, the width of the opening (the dimension in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction) is preferably 1 mm or more.

(Fifth embodiment of the present invention)
A beauty device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In each of the drawings, the beauty device 5 according to the present embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that the main body unit 11, the head unit 52, the spring 14, the auxiliary electrode unit 11c, the holding unit 55, and the control unit 16 are used. However, as a different point, the head portion 52 has a substantially frustoconical shape and is rotatable with respect to the main body portion 11, and the holding portion 55 engages with the head portion 52 to form a porous covering 53. It has the structure which hold | maintains.

  The control unit 16 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. Moreover, the said main-body part 11 is the structure similar to the said 1st Embodiment except the point which does not attach the holding | maintenance part 55 to the front side with the head part 52 so that tilting is possible, and abbreviate | omits description.

  The head portion 52 is made of a conductive material such as metal, and has a substantially truncated cone shape having a gently curved top surface 52a capable of surface contact with the skin 70 and an inclined side surface 52b. It is the structure arrange | positioned by making it protrude from the one end part front side of the main-body part 11 by using as a front-end | tip.

  The head portion 52 includes a vertical edge portion 52c that is an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 11 on the circular top surface 52a, and a horizontal edge portion 52d that is an end portion in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 11. Each of the intersections with the side surfaces is rounded and chamfered. Then, the curvature of the round chamfered shape at the intersection between the vertical edge 52c and the side surface is made smaller (the radius of the roundness is increased) than the curvature of the rounded chamfered shape at the intersection between the horizontal edge portion 52d and the side surface.

  On the side surface 52b of the head portion 52, a plurality of small concave portions 52e having a circular opening portion are provided with the bottom surface of the concave portion having a curved surface shape that is deepest at the central portion. When the face 52b of the head part 52 is directly applied to the skin with the lotion applied to the skin, the lotion can be held in the recess 52e that does not come into contact with the skin and is not pressurized, and the lotion is less likely to flow down. It can be energized with the lotion positioned between the skin. The concave portion 52e of the head portion side surface 52b is also used for engaging the holding portion 55 that holds the porous covering 53.

  Inside the head portion 52, as in the first embodiment, a rod-like support shaft portion 14a that can be advanced and retracted within a predetermined range with respect to the main body portion 11 is attached. It is biased in a direction away from the part 11. The head portion 52 is slidably brought into contact with the tip of the support shaft portion 14a at an inner fulcrum portion 52f that is just behind the center portion of the top surface, and the main body portion 11 is pressed by the spring 14 through the support shaft portion 14a. It is elastically supported while being urged away from it. Further, the head portion 52 is slidable with respect to the tip of the support shaft portion 14a at the fulcrum portion 52f, so that the head portion 52 can be tilted with respect to the support shaft portion 14a and the main body portion 11, and the center of the truncated cone passing through the fulcrum portion 52f. It can be rotated around its axis.

  An edge of the head portion 52 on the bottom surface side of the frustum is shaped like a bowl having an outer diameter slightly larger than that of the other portion, and is accommodated in the main body 11, and a gap that partially accommodates the head 52 in the main body 11. Since the inlet opening portion of the portion has a smaller diameter than the flange-like edge of the head portion 52, the head portion 52 is prevented from being detached from the main body portion 11 as in the first embodiment. . Note that the range of movement of the head portion 52 in the protruding direction with respect to the main body portion 11 and the tilt angle range of the head portion 52 with respect to the support shaft portion 14a are the same as those in the first embodiment, but the flange-like edge of the head portion 52 is Although restricted by being constrained by the main body part 11, the outer shape of each part on the bottom surface side of the frustum of the head part 52 is circular, and the inner peripheral shape including the inlet opening part of the inner space part of the main body part 11 that accommodates this is also available. By making it circular, the rotation of the head portion 52 relative to the main body portion 11 is allowed.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, the head unit 52 is electrically connected to the control unit 16 in the main body unit 11 and is connected to the auxiliary electrode unit 11c in the grip unit 11a via the user's body. This is a configuration that can be energized. For energization, the control unit 16 applies a voltage between the head unit 52 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c so that energization can occur, and the porous covering is impregnated with a liquid agent such as skin lotion containing an electrolyte component. 53, or directly when the head part 52 contacts the skin 70 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c comes into contact with the hand having the grip part 11a, the head part 52 and the auxiliary electrode part 11c pass through the user's body. It is a mechanism that becomes energized.

  The porous covering 53 is formed on a surface of the head portion 52 by molding cotton fibers processed by degreasing, such as cut cotton and cotton puff, into a non-woven sheet bag shape corresponding to the outer shape of the head portion 52. It is used as a cover that covers this along the surface, and has the property of sufficiently absorbing and retaining the skin lotion. The porous covering 53 covers the surface of the head portion 52 tightly and does not protrude greatly toward the main body portion 11, so that the porous covering 53 is covered with this without disturbing the rotation of the head portion 52. Even in this state, the head portion 52 is rotatable with respect to the main body portion 11.

  The holding portion 55 is formed as an annular body made of an elastically deformable material, and is provided with protrusions 55b that engage with the concave portions 52e of the head portion side surface 52b at a plurality of locations on the inner periphery facing the central opening portion. The structure is detachably attached to the outside of the side surface 52b of the head portion 52 near the end portion away from the top surface 52a with the quality covering 53 interposed. The opening portion at the center of the holding portion 55 has an opening shape slightly larger than the side surface 52 b of the head portion 52.

  With respect to the head portion 52 to which the porous covering 53 corresponding to the shape of the head portion 52 is mounted, the holding portion 55 is positioned on the outside of the side surface of the head portion 52, and each protrusion 55b of the holding portion 55 is located on the head portion 52 side. When the holding portion 55 is attached to the head portion 52 by engaging with the recess 52e, the porous covering 53 is sandwiched between the holding portion 55 and the head portion 52 and is not easily detached. In this mechanism, the porous covering 53 can be held on the surface of the head portion 52.

  Next, the energization operation state of the beauty device according to the present embodiment will be described. As a premise, it is assumed that the beauty device 5 is activated by the user's operation of the power switch 11e of the operation unit 11b, and the user is in a state where the user holds the grip unit 11a and is directed to the skin site where the head unit 52 is desired to be used. If the operation mode is selected and input by the user, the control unit 16 enters a state in which execution of each operation mode can be started.

  In the case of cleansing, the user first attaches the porous covering 53 soaked with the wiping lotion containing the electrolyte component to the head portion 52, and further the head portion 52 in the opening portion of the holding portion 55. When the holding portion 55 is positioned outside the side surface 52b of the head portion 52 and the protrusions 55b of the holding portion 55 are engaged with the recess portions 52e of the head portion side surface 52b, the holding portion 55 and the head portion are moved. The porous covering 53 is sandwiched between the head 52 and the porous covering 53 is held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 52 (see FIG. 26).

  Since the porous covering 53 has a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the head portion 52, the porous covering 53 comes into close contact with the surface of the head portion 52 in a stretched state without any wrinkles, and can contact the skin in the stretched state. The contact area with the head part 52 and the skin can be sufficiently ensured without difficulty.

  When the user operates the mode selector switch 11d of the operation unit 11b to select the cleansing mode, the control unit 16 first outputs a detection signal as in the first embodiment. When the user moves the main body portion 11 to bring the head portion 52 into close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 53, energization via the body and the skin lotion in the porous covering 53 becomes possible, and the output detection is performed. When this state is detected by receiving a signal for use, the control unit 16 shifts to an energized state related to cleansing.

  That is, the control unit 16 performs energization having a short-cycle pulse waveform between the head unit 52 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c, and the charged fine dirt components on the skin surface and inside are attracted to the head unit 52 and the skin. By moving from the side to the porous covering 53 side and the dirt component is taken into the porous covering 53, the dirt on the skin can be removed by suction.

  Thus, in a state where the head portion 52 is in close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 53, the head portion 52 is elastically supported with respect to the main body portion 11 and can be tilted. Even if the support state of the part 11 is slightly changed, the positional relationship between the head part 52 and the skin is maintained, and the porous covering 53 on the surface of the head part is applied to the skin without difficulty while making the contact pressure to the skin appropriate. The user does not need to support the main body portion 11 with careful fine adjustment so that the head portion 52 is brought into contact with the skin.

  Of the skin 70 to be cleansed, the side surface 52 b of the head portion 52 can be used for a portion where the top surface 52 a of the head portion 52 is difficult to approach, such as the side surface portion of the nose, and this side surface 52 b is interposed via the porous covering 53. By contacting the skin 70 at such a location, the user does not have to hold or change the main body 11 in an unreasonable posture.

  Further, for a portion having a concave corner such as a boundary portion between the nose and cheek, a porous chamfered shape portion having a large curvature of the lateral edge portion 52d of the top surface 52a of the head portion 52 is used. The head portion 52 can be reliably brought into contact with the corner portion of the skin 70 through the body 53, and cleansing can be performed without deviation.

  When the head portion 52 is moved little by little on the skin while the porous covering 53 is in contact with the skin 70, the target position of dirt removal can be changed while being energized. At this time, when the end portion and the side surface 52b except for the center of the top surface 52a of the head portion 52 are in contact with the skin through the porous covering 53, the head portion 52 receives frictional resistance from the skin 70 as it moves. Due to the rotational moment generated around the fulcrum part 52f due to the force, the fulcrum part 52f rotates around the fulcrum part 52f, and the porous covering 53 is brought into a rolling contact with the skin 70 (see FIG. 28).

  Thus, the porous covering 53 can be reliably brought into contact with the skin without causing the head 52 or the porous covering 53 to be caught or rubbed against the skin, and the skin can be moved even while the head 52 is moved. The effect of cleansing can be demonstrated without putting a burden on. In addition, the porous covering 53 is rolled and contacted with the skin to change the contact position, so that the same portion of the porous covering 53 is intensively used and the removed dirt component is excessively accumulated. In other words, the clean portion of the porous covering 53 is used to the maximum, and the ability to take in the dirt component into the porous covering 53 can be appropriately exhibited.

  In addition, when moving the head part 52 on the skin, if a wide area including the center of the top surface 52a in the head part 52 is in contact with the skin via the porous covering 53, the rotation of the head part 52 is performed. The rolling contact of the porous covering 53 due to does not occur. However, also in this case, the head portion 52 can be tilted around the fulcrum portion 52f at a high position in the vicinity of the top surface and away from the main body portion 11, so that the skin portion 70 can be separated from the skin 70 as in the first embodiment. The reaction force applied to the head portion 52 acts so that the top surface of the head portion 52 faces the skin 70, and a state in which the top surface 52a of the head portion 52 is along the skin 70 is always obtained. While preventing the porous covering 53 from being caught on the skin 70, the porous covering 53 can be reliably brought into contact with the skin, and the cleansing effect can be exhibited as in the state where the head portion is stationary.

  When the head unit 52 is separated from the skin 70 in order to interrupt the cleansing operation or change the removal position, the control unit 16 determines that the head unit 52 has been separated from the skin, as in the first embodiment. Stop energization. And if the head part 52 is again closely_contact | adhered to the skin 70 through the porous coating body 53, the control part 16 will transfer to the energization state which concerns on cleansing, and will resume energization. When cleansing is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by using the operation unit 11b or turn off the power.

  After completion of the cleansing mode, the holding portion 55 is removed from the head portion 52, and the porous covering 53 released from the holding state is removed from the head portion 52 to clean the head portion 52. In addition, the user cleans the face and removes the dirt remaining on the skin.

  When performing iontophoresis, the user attaches the porous covering 53 soaked with the protective lotion containing the electrolyte component to the head portion 52 as described above, and further attaches the holding portion 55 to the side surface of the head portion 52. 52 b is located outside, and each protrusion 55 b of the holding portion 55 is engaged with the concave portion 52 e of the head portion side surface 52 b, and the porous covering 53 is sandwiched between the holding portion 55 and the head portion 52, The body 53 is held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 52. In this case, after the porous covering 53 is held and fixed on the surface of the head portion 52, lotion may be soaked into the porous covering 53.

  As in the case of the cleansing, the retained porous covering 53 has a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the head portion 52. The porous covering 53 is in close contact with the surface of the head portion 52 in a stretched state without any wrinkles. You can touch the skin in the state.

  When the user operates the mode changeover switch 11d of the operation unit 11b to select the ion introduction mode, the control unit 16 first outputs a detection signal as in the first embodiment. When the user moves the main body portion 11 to bring the head portion 52 into close contact with the skin 70 via the porous covering 53, energization via the body and the skin lotion in the porous covering 53 becomes possible, and the output detection is performed. When this state is detected by receiving a signal for use, the control unit 16 shifts to an energization state related to ion introduction that has a polarity opposite to that in the cleansing case.

  In this energized state, the control unit 53 executes energization having a short cycle pulse waveform between the head unit 52 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c, and the ionic active ingredient in the skin lotion is supplied by the current flowing through the porous covering 53. The active ingredient quickly penetrates into the skin which is shifted to the skin side and is in a state where ions are easily penetrated by electric current. As in the case of cleansing, the round chamfered shape portion having a large curvature of the top side lateral edge portion 52d in the head portion 52 is also provided for the portion of the skin 70 that is a concave corner portion such as the boundary portion of the nose and cheek. The surface can be reliably brought into contact with the porous coating 53, and ions can be introduced without unevenness.

  When the head portion 52 is moved little by little on the skin while the porous covering 53 is in contact with the skin 70, the target position of ion introduction can be changed while being energized, but the head is interposed via the porous covering 53. When the end portion and the side surface 52b except for the center of the top surface 52a in the portion 52 are in contact with the skin, the head portion 52 rotates around the fulcrum portion 52f as the cleansing is performed, and is porous. The covering 53 rolls against the skin and comes into contact. Thus, the porous covering 53 can be reliably brought into contact with the skin without causing the head 52 or the porous covering 53 to be caught or rubbed against the skin, and the skin can be moved even while the head 52 is moved. The effect of ion introduction can be exhibited without imposing a burden on the substrate.

  In addition, when moving the head part 52 on the skin, if a wide area including the center of the top surface 52a in the head part 52 is in contact with the skin via the porous covering 53, the rotation of the head part 52 is performed. The rolling contact of the porous covering 53 due to does not occur. However, in this case as well, the head portion 52 can be tilted about the fulcrum portion 52f located at a high position in the vicinity of the top surface and away from the main body portion 11, so that the head portion 52 is removed from the skin as in the case of cleansing. The reaction force applied to the head part 52 acts so that the top surface of the head part 52 faces the skin, and a state where the top surface of the head part 52 is along the skin is always obtained. While preventing the skin from being caught, the porous covering 53 can be brought into contact with the skin with certainty, and the effect of ion introduction can be exhibited as in the state in which the head portion is stationary.

  When the head portion 52 is separated from the skin 70 in order to interrupt ion introduction or greatly change the introduction position, the controller 16 determines that the head portion 52 has been separated from the skin, as in the first embodiment, and the ion introduction is performed. The energization concerning is stopped. And if the head part 52 is again closely_contact | adhered to the skin 70 via the porous coating body 53, the control part 16 will transfer to the electricity supply state which concerns on ion introduction, and will restart electricity supply. When ion introduction is completed completely, the user may switch the operation mode to another by using the operation unit 11b or turn off the power.

  After the end of the ion introduction mode, the holding part 55 is removed from the head part 52, the porous covering 53 released from the holding state is removed, and the head part 52 may be cleaned as necessary.

  When energizing the skin, such as massage or lifting, the porous covering 53 is not used and the head 52 is used without the holding portion 55 attached. It should be noted that the skin should be familiarized with lotion or milky lotion if necessary.

  When the user operates the mode switching switch 11d of the operation unit 11b to select the massage mode or the lifting mode, the control unit 16 first outputs a detection signal as in the first embodiment. When the user moves the main body unit 11 to bring the head unit 52 into close contact with the skin 70, energization through the body becomes possible, and the control unit 16 shifts to an energized state related to massage or lifting.

  In the case of the massage mode, similarly to the first embodiment, the control unit 16 performs energization with a low-frequency waveform in which pulses of different polarities alternately appear between the head unit 52 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c, and the head unit 52 The auxiliary electrode portion 11c is energized through the body, and the skin 70 is energized at a low frequency, which activates the skin 70 to give a massage effect and promote blood circulation.

  Also in the lifting mode, similarly to the first embodiment, the control unit 16 performs energization with a waveform in which pulses having different polarities at lower frequencies than the massage mode alternately appear, and the head unit 52 and the auxiliary electrode unit 11c is energized through the body, and the skin 70 is energized at a low frequency, which promotes the penetration of the active ingredient into the skin 70 and provides the lifting effect of tensioning and lifting the skin.

  In the massage mode and the lifting mode, in a state where the head portion 52 is in close contact with the skin 70, the head portion 52 is elastically supported with respect to the main body portion 11 and can be tilted. It is possible to contact the skin comfortably with the proper contact pressure (see FIG. 27 (B)), and the user needs to support the main body portion 11 with careful fine adjustment so that the head portion 52 contacts the skin. There is no.

  The side surface 52b of the head portion 52 is provided with a plurality of small concave portions 52e. When the side surface 52b is in contact with the skin, the skin lotion applied to the skin does not come into contact with the skin and the pressure is reduced. It is held in the concave portion 52e that does not apply and is difficult to flow down, and energization can be performed with the lotion or the like positioned between the head portion 52 and the skin. Thus, it is possible to appropriately exert the effect on the skin without wastefully consuming the lotion or the like that has been extruded and flowed down with the contact between the skin and the head portion.

  When the head portion 52 is moved little by little on the skin while being in contact with the skin 70, the target position for energization can be changed. At this time, when the end portion and the side surface 52b except for the center of the top surface 52a of the head portion 52 are in contact with the skin, the head portion 52 is generated by the frictional resistance force received from the skin 70 as it moves. The head portion 52 is brought into a rolling contact state with respect to the skin 70 by rotating around the fulcrum portion 52f by the surrounding rotational moment. In this way, the head portion 52 can be brought into contact with the skin without causing the head portion 52 to be caught or rubbed, and even when the head portion 52 is moved, the energization can be performed without imposing a burden on the skin. The effect is demonstrated.

  When the head portion 52 is moved on the skin, if a wide area including the center of the top surface 52a of the head portion 52 is in contact with the skin, rolling contact of the head portion 52 due to the rotation of the head portion 52 occurs. Absent. However, also in this case, the head portion 52 can be tilted around the fulcrum portion 52f at a high position away from the main body portion 11 in the vicinity of the top surface thereof, so that the skin can be removed from the skin as in the case of cleansing and ion introduction. The reaction force applied to the head portion 52 acts so that the top surface of the head portion 52 faces the skin, and a state in which the top surface of the head portion 52 is along the skin is always obtained. While preventing the catch, the head portion 52 can be reliably brought into contact with the skin, and the effect of energization can be exhibited as in the state where the head portion is stationary.

  When the head unit 52 is separated from the skin 70 in order to interrupt the energization or change the energization position, the control unit 16 determines that the head unit 52 has been separated from the skin, as in the first embodiment, and is used for massage and lifting. This energization is stopped. And if the head part 52 is again closely_contact | adhered to the skin 70, the control part 16 will transfer to the electricity supply state which concerns on a massage and lifting, and will resume electricity supply. Further, when the user switches the operation mode to another one by the operation unit 11b or turns off the power, the energization is completely terminated.

  As described above, in the beauty device according to the present embodiment, the head portion 52 can be rotated with respect to the main body portion 11, and a portion other than the central portion of the top surface 52 a of the head portion 52 can be directly or via the porous covering 53. When the user tries to move the head part 52 by moving the main body part 11 in a state of being in contact with the user's skin 70, the head part 52 is caused by a rotational moment generated along with the frictional resistance force received from the skin 70. The head portion 52 and the porous covering 53 are in a state of rolling contact with the skin 70, so that the head portion 52 and the porous covering 53 are not caught on or rubbed against the skin 70. The skin 70 can be reliably brought into contact with the skin 70, and beauty effects such as cleansing and ion introduction can be exhibited without causing a burden on the skin even when the head portion 52 is moved. Further, when the porous covering 53 is disposed on the surface of the head portion 52 and used, the porous covering 53 is brought into rolling contact with the skin 70 to change the contact position. The same part of 53 is used intensively and the dirt component of the skin 70 is not excessively adhered, and the porous part 53 is used by maximally using the clean part of the porous cover 53. Cleansing, iontophoresis and the like can be performed in a more favorable state for the user.

  In the beauty device according to the fifth embodiment, a plurality of recesses 52e capable of holding lotion or the like are provided on the side surface 52b of the head part 52, and the head part 52 attached with the porous covering 53 is held. Each of the protrusions 55b of the portion 55 is engaged with the recess 52e with the porous covering 53 interposed therebetween, and the holding portion 55 is attached to hold the porous covering 53 on the surface of the head portion 52. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 29, a groove-like recess 52g that is continuous over the entire circumference is provided on the side surface 52b of the head portion 52, and the toner 52 is retained in the recess 52g. In addition, it is possible to securely place the skin lotion between the head portion 52 and the skin, and when the porous covering 53 is used, the protrusion 55b of the holding portion 55 is engaged with the groove-like recess 52g. Combine In this manner (see FIG. 29A), or the inner peripheral portion of the holding portion 56 is directly engaged with the recess 52g (see FIG. 29B), the holding portion is attached to the head portion 52, and the porous portion The covering material 53 can also be held, and the holding portions 55 and 56 can be easily attached to the head portion 52 without being finely aligned because the concave portions 52g are continuously provided in the circumferential direction. .

  Further, in the beauty apparatus according to each of the first to fifth embodiments, when ion introduction is performed, the porous covering body soaked with the protective lotion is held so as to cover the head portion, The active ingredient contained in the skin lotion in the covering is transferred to the skin side, and the active ingredient is infiltrated into the skin. The head part can be brought into close contact with the skin and the body is energized to allow the active ingredient contained in the skin lotion to penetrate into the skin with the current flowing from the head part to the skin. In particular, when a plurality of small concave portions are provided on the top surface of the portion, the concave portion retains the skin lotion attached to the skin to make it difficult to flow down, and in combination with the fact that lotion can be used effectively, Skin surface with current flowing to the skin The ionic active ingredient in the skin lotion can be appropriately transferred to the skin side, and as in the case of each of the above embodiments, the active ingredient penetrates deeply into the skin that is in a state in which ions are likely to permeate due to current. Is given a beauty effect.

  In the beauty device according to each of the first to fifth embodiments, each beauty operation involving energization between the head portion and the auxiliary electrode portion is executed. It is also possible to perform a cosmetic operation such as an operation for stimulating the skin by transmitting ultrasonic waves from the head portion to the skin, or an operation for applying a stimulation by heat to the skin from the head portion, and elastically supporting the head portion. In addition, the head part can be tilted, and the head part can be rotated as necessary, so that in any cosmetic operation, the adhesion of the head part to the skin, when the head part is moved. The followability of the head part to the skin is improved, and the burden on the skin is reduced, so that a cosmetic effect can be given more reliably.
