Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention classifies the skin type of the skin surface by measuring the amount of sebum secreted from sebaceous glands on the face, hands, feet, etc., and provides guidelines for selecting cosmetics, etc. The present invention relates to a sebum collector in a sebum amount measuring device that can be used as a sebum amount measuring device.

Prior art The applicant of the present application has already disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 59-22344, a sebum absorbing paper is attached to the tip of a sebum collector, the sebum is collected by pressing the sebum absorbing paper against the skin surface, and then the sebum is collected. We have proposed a sebum amount measuring device in which a sebum sampler is inserted into a measuring section of a measuring device body that includes a built-in detector and a display, and the amount of sebum is measured by the transmittance of the light beam projected onto the oil-absorbing paper.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The sebum amount measuring device according to the above application has excellent features such as being able to measure sebum amount extremely accurately with simple operations and also being capable of digital display. but,
Pressing the oil-absorbing paper against the skin surface is likely to cause measurement errors if the force is not constant. Also, when attaching the oil-absorbing paper to the sebum collector, if your fingers touch the oil-absorbing paper, the sebum on your fingers will become oily. There was a problem in that it adhered to the absorbent paper and caused measurement errors.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to improve the sebum collector in the sebum amount measuring device according to the above application, and to improve the sebum collecting device so that the sebum-absorbing paper attached to the sebum collector can be attached and removed without touching the sebum amount measuring device. To provide a sebum collector which can eliminate individual errors in measurement values and accurately measure the amount of sebum with a simpler operation by using a collection cap that can be easily and quickly carried out.

Composition of the invention Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 to 3 show a sebum collector 1 according to the present invention. The sebum collector 1 includes a cylindrical main body 2 having a push spring 3 (see FIG. 3) inside, a guide cylinder 4 connected to the front part of the cylindrical main body 2, and a guide cylinder 4 connected to the guide cylinder 4 in the axial direction. A movable member 5 is fitted in a slidable manner and is biased to protrude by the push spring 3; The collecting surface 6a at the tip of the head 6 is colored black. Further, a locking lever 8 is tiltably attached to an elongated lower opening provided at the upper part of the cylindrical body 2 via a support shaft 9, and as shown in FIG. 8
When a is pushed down and engaged with the 7-rank part 10 connected to the rear end of the movable member 5, the head 6 is pressed by the push spring 3 and the movable member 5 becomes cylindrical at the fixed position protruding from the guide tube 4. The movable member 6 is fixed to the main body 2, and when the rear part 8b of the lever 8 is pushed down to release the lever 8 from the seventh rank part 10, the movable member 6 becomes movable in the axial direction.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a knob connected to the rear part of the cylindrical main body 2.

Note that a notch step 12 is provided on the lower side of the guide tube 4 in order to keep the directionality constant when inserting it into the measuring section 31 of the measuring device main body 30 (see FIG. 9). FIG. 5 shows a sebum collecting camp 15 that is attached to the head 6 of the sebum collecting device 1 described above. The sebum collecting cap 16 consists of an inner tube 16 that fits over the head 6, an outer tube 17 that fits into the inner tube 16, and a fat-absorbing paper 18. By fitting the outer cylinder 17 into the inner cylinder 16 with the oil-absorbing paper 18 placed thereon, the oil-absorbing paper 18
is stretched so as to cover one opening of the inner cylinder 16, and its peripheral edge 18a is sandwiched between the inner cylinder 16 and the outer cylinder 17. If glue or other adhesive is used to stretch the fat-absorbing paper 18, the liquid in the ingredients will be absorbed by the fat-absorbing paper 18, causing measurement errors.However, if the above-mentioned tensioning structure is adopted, This is advantageous because not only can such inconveniences be completely eliminated, but also the fingers do not come into direct contact with the oil-absorbing paper 18. The above inner cylinder 16 and outer cylinder 1
7 is molded from paper or plastic. In addition, the outer cylinder 17
The outer diameter of the guide tube 4 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the guide tube 4, so that when it is fitted onto the head 6, the guide tube 4
It is configured to be retractable inside.

Note that the oil-absorbing paper 18 is so-called oil-absorbing paper (for cosmetic use) or cigarette vapor.

As shown in FIG. 6, the sebum collecting cap 15 having the above structure is fitted onto the head 6 of the sebum collecting device 10 and the sebum absorbing paper 18
However, if the movable member 5 is fixed to the cylindrical body 2 with the locking lever 8 as shown in FIG. 3, the cap 15 can be attached easily and securely. can be done.

Next, push down the rear part 8b of the locking lever 8 and move the movable member 5.
With the lock unlocked, press the cap 15 against the skin surface 20 of the measurement site such as the cheek or forehead, and
As shown in the figure, push the cap 15 against the spring 3 until the end surface 4a of the guide tube 4 comes into contact with the skin surface 20.
and press it into the guide cylinder 4 for about 10 seconds.

At this time, the pressure of the cap 15 against the skin surface 20 is kept constant by the spring pressure of the pressure spring 3, and the pressure of the author operating the sebum collector 1 is not affected by the force. do not have.

Sebum absorbing paper 1 of sebum collection cap 15 as described above
At step 8, the sebum collector 1 that has collected the sebum at the measurement site is inserted into the measuring section 31 of the measuring device main body 30 as shown in FIG. 9, and the amount of sebum is measured. The measured amount of sebum is converted into a digital signal and digitally displayed on the display window 32. Regarding the measurement principle and the configuration and operation of the measuring device main body 30,
Since it is explained in detail in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Application No. 59-22344, it will be omitted here.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a cap for collecting sebum with a sebum-absorbing paper stretched over one opening of a cylindrical body is fitted over the head of the collector. Because of this, the oil-absorbing paper can be easily and quickly attached to and removed from the head without directly touching the oil-absorbing paper with fingers, and the amount of sebum can be accurately measured with an even simpler operation. In addition, when the collector is pressed against the measurement site, the pressure of the sebum collection cap against the skin surface is kept constant by the spring pressure, so there is little individual error in the measurement value and it remains constant. Easy to live in.

Note that, as in the above embodiment, the sebum collection cap 15 is arranged so that the peripheral edge 18a of the oil-absorbing paper 18, which is disposed so as to cover one opening of the inner tube 16, connects the inner tube 16 and the outer tube fitted therein. 1
7, the oil-absorbing paper 18
No glue or other adhesives are required to install the
This is more convenient because it is easier to maintain the oil-absorbing paper 18 homogeneously and there is less risk of fingers touching the oil-absorbing paper 18.
