Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the facial mask by which an overall beauty treatment effect can be obtained. CONSTITUTION:A Peltier element 2 is embedded in a sheet material 1 for covering the face and adhering closely thereto. A changeover switch 3 for switching polarity of a DC voltage applied to the Peltier element 2 is provided so as to heat or cool the sheet material 1. When the Peltier element 2 is set to an endothermic state, the skin is cooled and the skin is tightened, and also, a pain in the case of getting sunburnt, etc., is softened. Also, when the Peltier element 2 is set to heating state, the skin blood flow quantity is increased by a physiological action by which a blood vessel contracted once due to a fact that it is cooled is expanded as a secondary reaction, and a mental refreshing sense is obtained, and moreover, muscles come loose, and simultaneously, moisture is given to the skin.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A facial mask according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The facial mask 10 has a Peltier element 2 embedded in a sheet material 1 that covers and adheres to the face,
The sheet material 1 is heated and cooled by providing a changeover switch 3 for changing the polarity of the DC voltage applied to the Peltier element 2.

A plurality of Peltier elements 2 are linear and are embedded along the longitudinal direction of the sheet material 1. The changeover switch 3 is provided in the power supply unit 4. The power supply unit 4 is
A thermocouple 11 for monitoring that detects the temperature of the sheet material 1, a rectifier (not shown), and a control unit (not shown) that controls the DC voltage applied to the Peltier element 2 so that the sheet material 1 reaches a desired temperature. , And the temperature of the sheet material 1 can be set arbitrarily. The sheet material 1 is a skin material 1a.
And a cushion material 1b that also serves as a heat insulating material, and an interior material 1c having the Peltier element 2 and the monitor thermocouple 11 inserted thereinto. An opening 7 is formed on the front surface of the sheet material 1,
8 and 9 are formed. The openings 7, 8 and 9 are for inserting the eyes, nose and mouth when the face is covered with the sheet material 1.

When using the facial mask 10, first,
The plug 5 of the power supply unit 4 is inserted into a household outlet, and the changeover switch 3 is operated to put the Peltier element 2 into a heat absorbing state. The temperature setting operation unit 12 of the power supply unit 4 is operated to set the temperature. Then, the face is covered with the sheet material 1. As a result, the skin on the face is cooled, the skin is tightened, and the pain caused by sunburn or the like is relieved. Further, when the change-over switch 3 is operated to bring the Peltier element 2 into a heat-generating state, the blood flow in the skin increases due to the physiological action of expanding the blood vessels that have once contracted due to cooling, as a secondary reaction, which gives a refreshing feeling. can get. In addition, warming of the skin on the face promotes blood circulation, so that the muscles are loosened and the skin is moisturized. The above procedure may be repeated multiple times. Reference numeral 6 is an electric wire for applying a DC voltage to the Peltier device 2.

Next, a facial mask according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Face mask 20
Is a water heater 2 that forms a water conduit 22 inside the sheet material 21 that covers and adheres to the face and circulates hot water in the water conduit 22.
4 and a chiller 25 that circulates chilled water, and a switching valve 23.
The sheet material 21 is heated by alternately circulating hot water and cold water in the water conduit 22 by communicating with each other through a and 23b.
It is designed to be cooled.

A plurality of water conduits 22 are formed along the longitudinal direction of the sheet material 21. A hose 26 communicates between the water heater 24 and the water conduit 22 and between the water cooler 25 and the water conduit 22, respectively. The switching valve 23a allows either hot water discharged from the outlet 24a of the water heater 24 or cold water discharged from the outlet 25a of the water cooler 25 to flow into the inlet 22a of the water conduit 22. The switching valve 23b causes the drainage discharged from the discharge port 22b of the water conduit 22 to flow into either the inflow port 24b of the warm water heater 24 or the inflow port 25b of the cold water cooler 25. Adjusting valves 27a and 27b are provided near the inflow port 24b and the inflow port 25b, respectively. The sheet material 21 includes a skin material 21a, a cushion material 21b also serving as a heat insulating material, and an interior material 21c having a water conduit 22 formed therein.

When using the facial mask 20, first,
The water heater 24 and the water cooler 25 are activated. Switching valve 2
3a is operated so that the cold water discharged from the discharge port 25a can flow into the inlet 22a, and the switching valve 2
3b is operated so that the waste water discharged from the discharge port 22b can flow into the inflow port 25b. Next, adjusting valve 27
By adjusting b, the flow rate of the cold water circulating in the water conduit 22 is adjusted to adjust the temperature of the sheet material 21, and then the face is covered with the sheet material 21. This will cool the skin on the face with cold water. Furthermore, the switching valve 23a is operated to bring hot water discharged from the discharge port 24a into the inlet 22a, and the switching valve 23b is operated to allow waste water discharged from the discharge port 22b to flow into the inlet 24b. State. By adjusting the adjusting valve 27a, the flow rate of the hot water circulating in the water conduit 22 is adjusted to adjust the temperature of the sheet material 21. This will warm the skin on the face with warm water.

The other construction and effects are similar to those of the first embodiment. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, by forming a water conduit 22 'having branch portions 28 and 29 at the portions corresponding to the outer corners of the eyes and cheeks, redness of the cheeks and fine wrinkles of the outer corners of the eyes can be effectively healed. Good.
Further, ethylene glycol or the like may be used as a heat exchange medium instead of water.

[0015]

According to the facial mask of the first aspect, the Peltier element is embedded in the sheet material that covers and adheres to the face, and the changeover switch that switches the polarity of the DC voltage applied to the Peltier element is provided to heat the sheet material. Since it is cooled, when the changeover switch is operated to put the Peltier element into the heat absorbing state, the skin of the face is cooled, the skin is tightened, and the pain caused by sunburn etc. is alleviated. further,
When the Peltier element is made to generate heat by operating the changeover switch, the blood flow volume on the skin is increased by the physiological action of expanding the blood vessels that have once contracted due to cooling, as a secondary reaction, and a refreshing feeling is obtained. In addition, warming of the skin on the face promotes blood circulation, so that the muscles are loosened and the skin is moisturized.

In the facial mask according to a second aspect of the present invention, the sheet material is heated and cooled by alternately circulating hot water and cold water in a water conduit formed inside the sheet material that covers and adheres to the face. Therefore, when the switching valve is operated to circulate cold water in the water conduit, the skin on the face is cooled, the skin is tightened, and the pain caused by sunburn or the like is relieved. Further, when hot water is circulated in the water conduit through the switching valve, the blood flow in the skin is increased by the physiological action of expanding the blood vessels that have been contracted once they have been cooled as a secondary reaction. In addition, warming of the skin on the face promotes blood circulation, so that the muscles are loosened and the skin is moisturized.
