Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the washing effect of a face washer used to send bubbles into water and wash the skin with the bursting energy of the bubbles, and provide a face washer ensuring a good feeling of use. SOLUTION: In this face washer, a bubble generating filter 2 is mounted on the inner bottom of a vessel 1 formed out of synthetic resin or the like and filled with wash water and the high pressure air is sent to the filter 2 to generate bubbles, thus guiding a bubble flow along a guide 3. In addition, the bubbles are made small with a bubble refining device 4 and the skin is immersed in the bubble flow for eliminating a stain therefrom. Contaminated wash water is filtrated and cleaned via a filter device installed in the vessel 1, and clean wash water is jetted and circulated as a bubble flow. In addition, a pocket 6 is provided for dissolving a suitable amount of a skin cleaning detergent 13 for enhancing the usability of the face washer.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a facial cleanser that cleans the skin using water and air bubbles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a face-washing device of this type creates air bubbles in water by pumping air by an air pump using a commutator motor to a ceramic body having fine continuous air bubbles provided at the bottom of a container containing water. The vibration energy generated at the time of foam rupture collides with the skin soaked in water to remove dirt and fats and oils adhering to the skin to wash the skin.

[0003]

As described above, the high-pressure air obtained from the pump using the commutator motor passes through the ceramic body to create bubbles of small diameter, but the bubbles are expanded and diffused at the same time. Since it starts, there is a drawback that it is not possible to control for colliding a fine bubble flow on the usage site, and the operation sound is high and uncomfortable, and at the same time ozone generated by spark discharge of the brush part is inside the bubble. Since it was enclosed, there was a drawback that a strong ozone odor was felt when the bubbles burst.

Further, there is a drawback in that the dirt that has fallen off the skin floats in the water in which the user's face is dipped, and the dirt that has once fallen on the skin of the user again due to the bubbles generated continuously.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a drawback, and uses a diaphragm type vibration type air pump instead of a commutator motor and a container for storing cleaning water. A cylindrical guide is provided in the central portion, a bubble diameter reducing device is provided therein, a lower portion of the guide is open, and a bubble generating filter is provided at the bottom portion. Further, a filter device composed of a filter is provided on the outer portion of the guide.

[0006]

When the pump is operated by filling this container with water adjusted to an appropriate temperature, the air sucked from the outside air filter becomes a high pressure and passes through the air passage, and when passing through the bubble generating filter, enters the water and becomes bubbles. . The generated bubbles travel only inside the guide while expanding, and become bubbles of a small diameter by the bubble diameter reducing device and are blown up to the center of the container. In this state, when the user dips the skin (face) to be washed in the foam, the foam jet collides with the user's skin (face) and bursts, generating vibration energy. This vibration energy is transmitted to the user's skin through water as a medium, vibrates the skin, and removes dirt adhering to or oozing on the surface thereof into the water. The water containing dirt moves to the bottom along the inner wall of the container due to the pressure of the air and bubbles generated one after another, and when it passes through the filtration device, it filters the dirt and then passes through the opening at the bottom of the guide. As a result, the high-pressure air collects bubbles on the upper part of the bubble generating filter at the inner bottom of the guide to generate a circulating flow.

[0007]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a container made of a water resistant material such as polypropylene resin having a heat resistance limit of about 120 ° C. and having a capacity suitable for accommodating a user's face. Reference numeral 2 is a bubble-generating filter made of ceramic or the like, and is designed so that the generated bubbles have a desired diameter. Reference numeral 3 is a guide formed of a water resistant material such as polypropylene resin, which constitutes a flow path for a bubble flow, and has an opening 3a at the bottom. Reference numeral 4 is a bubble diameter reducing device, which is a net made of stainless steel or nylon. Reference numeral 5 is a filtration device composed of a water filtration filter for catching dirt that has fallen off the skin of the user, and it is preferable to use foam or activated carbon. 6 is a detergent supply pocket, 7 is washing water, 8 is a backflow prevention air passage,
This prevents water from flowing back from the bubble generating filter side to the pump side when the operation of the pump 10 described later is stopped. 9 is a switch and 10 is a diaphragm type pump. Reference numeral 11 is an outside air filter, and 12 is an air filtration filter. Of course, all electric circuits are insulated.

According to the method of use of this embodiment, when the washing water 7 adjusted to an appropriate temperature is put in the container 1 and the power source is connected and the switch 9 is turned on, the pump 10 of this device starts driving and the filter for generating bubbles. Continue to send high pressure air to 2. When the high-pressure air passes through the bubble generating filter 2 and enters the water, it becomes bubbles and rises as a jet inside the guide 3, and the bubbles reduced in diameter by the bubble reducing device 4 overflow from the guide 3 and become fountain-like. Become. The user dips and cleans the skin in this foam jet. The dirty water after cleaning is cleaned when passing through the filtering device 5, passes through the opening 3a provided in the lower part of the guide 3, and is collected on the upper part of the bubble generating filter 2 to become air bubbles by the invasion of air. repeat.

The user dips and cleans the skin in this foam jet. If the detergent 13 for skin is dissolved in water, the cleaning effect is increased, but it is wasteful to put it all at once due to the action of the filtration device 5, so that the detergent 13 for skin cleaning is gradually dissolved in a part of the container 1. With a pocket 6 designed for the detergent 1
Since No. 3 gradually dissolves, effective skin washing (washing) can be performed without waste.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the flow path of the bubbling flow of the washing water is restricted by the guide, the bubbling flow is concentrated and the bubbling flow can be concentrated on the portion to be cleaned, so that the cleaning degree is high.
A bubble-thinning device reduces the bubbles just before use, so the feeling of use is good and fine cleaning is possible. Further, a great effect that the redeposition of dirt can be prevented by the filtering device is obtained. Further, the provision of the skin detergent pocket has the advantage that the cleaning effect is further enhanced and the economical effect is obtained.
