The facial cosmetic treatment device according to the present invention includes a housing 10 having a nozzle 20 and a suction pump (Diaphragm pump) 14 for generating a suction force through the nozzle. The tubular attachment is detachably mounted to the nozzle by forming a first end and a second end at opposite ends of the shaft. The first end forms a first annular edge to contact the face skin to apply a suction force to remove sebum, dust or similar small foreign matter from the face skin. The housing 10 incorporates an electric motor 11 in addition to the suction pump 14 and the nozzle 20 therein. The housing 10 is formed in an elongate shape having a longitudinal axis so that a user can hold it with one hand. The nozzle 20 protrudes from one end in the longitudinal direction of the housing 10 by forming an obtuse angle with the housing with respect to the longitudinal axis. The suction pump 14, together with the nozzle 20, extends on a substantially straight line at the front end of the nozzle in the suction pump to form the suction passage 21. The motor 11 has an output shaft 11A which is coupled to the suction pump 14 and operated, which is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing 10 to be orthogonal to the suction path 21. Is formed in the direction. With this configuration, the suction path does not need to form a bent portion that reduces the efficiency of the suction force acting on the skin, and the nozzle can be formed at an obtuse angle with respect to the housing, thereby facilitating the operation of the facial beauty treatment device. have.

As a preferred embodiment of the facial cosmetic device made as described above, the housing 10 includes a battery 12 for supplying power to the motor 11 and a power switch 17 for energizing the motor 11. The battery 12 is an elongated shape having a longitudinal axis and is disposed in the housing 10 by matching the longitudinal axis with the longitudinal axis of the housing, and spaced between the inclined motor 11 and the battery 12. The space is formed so that one end portion becomes wider than the other end portion in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the housing (10). The power switch 17 is arranged in this widened space. As such, the facial beauty treatment apparatus may be more compactly configured to accommodate the power switch and the wiring components related thereto by making the most of the space generated by the inclined motor. In addition, by securing a space for the power switch and the built-in battery, a more balanced structure with the motor for operating the device can be obtained.

On the other hand, the housing may be composed of a split body (10A) of the upper portion and the split body (10B) of the lower portion. The motor 11 is supported by the support frame 19 fixed to the fastening portion of the divided body of the upper and lower parts of the housing. By using this support frame, the motor can be easily assembled to the housing by inclining its output shaft to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

The above and other objects and advantageous features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment of the present invention that can specifically realize the above object will be described.

Referring to FIG. 1, a facial beauty treatment device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.

The facial cosmetic treatment device according to the present invention comprises a housing 10 in a form that a user can hold by hand, and an attachment 30 for applying a vacuum to the facial skin to remove dust, sebum or similar small foreign substances from the skin. . The housing 10 includes a motor 11 driven by the battery 12 and a suction pump 14 driven by the motor to generate a suction force. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the housing is of elongate shape with a longitudinal axis. A recess 16 is formed at the upper end of the housing 10 so that the attachment 30 and the nozzle 20 can be separated from the bottom of the recess. The nozzle 20 has a tubular structure having a through hole 21 in communication with a vacuum chamber 15 of the pump 14 to transfer suction to the attachment 30. As shown in FIG. 1, the nozzle 20 protrudes at an obtuse angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing 10. The suction pump 14 is driven by the output shaft 11A of the motor 11 to generate a suction force, and is matched in the protruding direction of the nozzle 20 to substantially extend from the suction pump 14 to the front end of the nozzle 20. As a result, a straight suction path 21 is formed.

For example, as already known to those skilled in the art in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-82548 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-37324, the output shaft 11A of the motor 11 is connected to the suction pump 14 to connect the output shaft 11A. The rotational motion is converted into a reciprocating pump motion of the suction pump 14. From the well-known relationship between this output shaft 11A and the suction pump 14, the motor 11 and its output shaft 11A are inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing 10, so that the suction path 21 ) Can satisfy the requirement to make an obtuse angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing 10.

As shown in FIG. 1, as the motor 11 is inclined, a relatively large space may be formed between the battery 11 and the battery 11 disposed along the longitudinal axis of the housing 10. That is, the battery 12 is formed in an elongated form having a longitudinal axis, and once between the motor 11 disposed in the housing 10 and the battery 12 in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the housing 10. The space is formed to be wider than the other end portion. In the wider part of this space, the power switch 17 for connecting the motor 11 and the wiring components associated therewith are installed. This power switch 17 is operated by the switch handle 18.

As shown in FIG. 1, the motor 11 includes a support frame 19 fixed to the housing 10 at a coupling portion of the divided main body 10A of the upper part of the housing 10 and the divided main body 10B of the lower part of the housing 10. Is supported by.

As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment 30 is formed with a central barrel 31, the central barrel having an axial bore 32, a larger front tubular diameter than the central barrel 31. A flange 33 and a rear tubular flange 43 are provided. Opposite ends of the axial bore 32 are tapered slightly so that the nozzle 20 can slide onto either of the front and rear ends of the axial bore 32. 1 shows the attachment 30 in such a way that the rear end of the attachment is mounted to the nozzle and FIG. 2 shows the attachment of the front end of the attachment to the nozzle in the same manner as in FIG. 1. have. The front tubular flange 33 forms the front annular edge 34 in a position where it can be intimately in contact with the facial skin so as to exert a suction force on the area defined by the front annular edge.

As shown in FIG. 6, the front end of the center barrel 31 extends in the axial direction to a point that is axially inward of the front annular edge 34 and overlaps with the front tubular flange 33. The buffer edge 35 is defined to be in pressure contact with the expanded skin area S by the suction force of the attachment. As shown in FIG. 4, the buffer edge 35 is formed concentrically with the front annular edge 34 to form an annular space between the tubular flange 33 and the front end of the central barrel 31. do. The front annular edge 34 has a circular opening having a diameter D1 of 15 mm, and the buffer edge 35 has a circular opening having a diameter D2 of 8 mm. The attachment 30 has a length L of 35 mm. A ring 39, which can be held by a user's finger, protrudes radially outward from the center of the length of the center barrel 31 so that the user can handle the attachment 30. The rear tubular flange 43 also defines a rear annular edge 44 such that the front end of the central barrel 31 fits into the nozzle 20 and thus alternatively comes into contact with the skin. As shown in FIG. 5, the rear annular edge 44 has a shape having an elliptical opening smaller than the circular opening defined in the circular front annular edge 34. The elliptical opening defined in the rear annular edge 44 has dimensions of 12 mm in diameter D3 of the major axis and 9.0 mm of diameter D4 of the minor axis. The front annular edge 34 covers a wide range of facial skin areas, and the rear annular edge 43 with smaller openings is particularly provided for handling the nose wing.

Operation to the device is first described from using the anterior annular edge 34 for facial skin. It is desirable to repeatedly tap the attachment so that the anterior annular edge 34 can be intermittently contacted with the skin to protect the skin from pain or fish blood that may be caused by applying suction to the skin for an excessive amount of time. In addition, the tapping operation is preferably a manner in which the front annular edge is preferentially disengaged from the skin at one peripheral portion and the other portion of the front annular edge 34. This simply requires the user holding the housing 10 to twist the wrist when detaching the attachment 30 from the skin. As shown in Fig. 6, with the front annular edge 34 in contact with the skin, the skin area S defined by the edge is pulled into the attachment 30 due to vacuum to form an inflation portion. And the base of the inflation portion is limited by the buffer edge 35. In this way, an abrupt displacement is formed in the skin region S in a separate region, which is the region near the front annular edge 34 and the other region near the buffer edge 35. Sebum or similar small foreign bodies in this area most easily separate from the skin. The dust separated from the skin by vacuum is attached to the inner wall of the attachment adjacent the front annular edge 34 and the buffer edge 35. The dust remaining on the skin is collected and removed from the annular edge during the tapping operation performed when the user twists the wrist and the last scraping of the skin surface near the front annular edge 34. The front end of the nozzle 20 is covered with a filter 22 to prevent dust from entering the pump 14. In the absence of the buffer edge 35 at the contact, the wide skin area covered by the front annular edge 34 is widened due to the flexible and elastic properties of the skin and is large as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 6. Particular attention should be paid to the formation of deformed swelling which may cause pain or flattening blood on the skin.

The rear annular edge 44 with a relatively small opening can be used without tapping the skin and in such a way as to slide the edges along the skin over the nostrils. Due to the elliptical configuration applied to the rear annular edge 44, the attachment 30 can slide more easily along the minor axis direction than the major axis. That is, the swollen skin area has less resistance when the deposit moves in the minor axis direction than the main axis. As the rear annular edge 44 slides along the skin, the dust that has escaped from the skin is successfully peeled off and collected on the edge of the attachment. Therefore, the rear annular edge 44 having an elliptical configuration is particularly advantageous in that it can facilitate the sliding operation to effectively remove dust, thereby providing a wider treatment area.

As described above, the present invention can be easily removed by scraping the sebum from the skin with the first annular edge, and the attachment according to the present invention is formed to have a wide suction area, so that pain or purge traces can be surely avoided and sebum or Similar small foreign matter can be effectively removed.

In addition, it is possible to efficiently operate the suction force and is easy for the user to operate with one hand.
