BEAUTY CARE APPARATUS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beauty device, and more particularly, to an apparatus for skin beauty.

In recent years, interest in appearance has been increasing. In particular, interest in facial skin is increasing. In order to manage facial skin, it is possible to steadily supply nutrients to the skin, to remove waste products or toxins accumulated on the skin, or to allow smooth circulation of stagnant hormones.

The method of supplying nutrients to the facial skin is to infiltrate the skin with cosmetics or vitamins, and the method of removing waste products or toxins can be carried out through cosmetics, massage, fomentation, and the like. In recent years, skin beauty devices that can be used easily to develop more effective skin care have been developed. Such a skin-beauty device may be a device for scanning a skin with a specific light source, a device for performing a massage and lifting function using a vibration motor, or a massage device for facilitating blood circulation using ions or currents emitted from a probe Lt; / RTI >

However, as described above, various cosmetics and hairdressing machines have been known in connection with the facial skin. However, the use of cosmetics or hairdressing machines for facial skin has been ineffective. In particular, the skin of the neck has a relatively thin thickness compared to the face skin, so that the skin elasticity of the neck is reduced or neck wrinkles are likely to occur. Also, once reduced skin elasticity or formed neck wrinkles is extremely difficult to restore or alleviate.

Accordingly, the skin care for the neck can not be solved by conventional cosmetics, skin beauty equipment, and the like, and a beauty device for effectively managing skin aging of the neck is required.

The present invention is directed to a cosmetic device for preventing or delaying aging of the skin, which is likely to be wrinkled and / or jawed due to aging of the skin, such as a neck.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a cosmetic device comprising: a stretching part contacting a skin to stretch the skin; A supporting part coupled to the stretching part in a bar shape and supporting the stretching part; And a housing coupled to one end of the support and functioning as a handle of a user.

According to the present invention, the skin elasticity of the neck region can be restored by causing the skin elongation and skin contraction of the neck region in accordance with the reciprocating motion of the stretching unit, thereby leading to the elimination or reduction of neck wrinkles or tucks. . In addition, by applying a high-frequency current or a fine current to the dermal layer of the skin where the neck wrinkles or the jaw flesh are generated, it is possible to activate the biological current of the dermal layer and thereby to decompose the fat cells in the dangling chin or double- Improve blood circulation and promote endocrine function, thereby leading to elimination or reduction of neck wrinkles. In particular, by applying an electric current to the skin along with the action of stretching and contracting the skin of the neck, it is possible to double the effect of removing or reducing the neck wrinkles or jaw flesh.

The curved structure may include a curved shape that stretches the skin in contact with the skin. The curved structure may include curved shapes to wrap the skin of the neck or face in the skin. For example, the curved structure may include a symmetrical curved body, an asymmetric curved body, or a dividing curved body that surrounds at least part of the skin of the neck. The coupling structure may include a structure connected to the curved structure and capable of engaging with the supporting portion 120.

2A is a perspective view showing a stretching part 110a of an embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a reference view viewed from various angles with respect to the stretching part 110a shown in FIG. 2A.

Referring to FIGS. 2A and 2B, the stretching portion 110a may include a curved surface structure 110a-1 and a coupling structure 110a-2, which are curved structures of an embodiment. The symmetrical curved body 110a-1 may include a plate-like curved surface S to cover at least a part of the skin. In this symmetrical curved surface 110a-1, both end portions 110a-11 and 110a-12 of the plate end contacting with the skin may be symmetrical to each other. For example, the symmetric curved surface 110a-1 may be a C-shaped or U-shaped symmetrical curved surface.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, both end portions 110a-11 and 110a-12 of the symmetrical curved surface 110a-1 are curved in a curved surface S formed by a constant curvature, So that the opposite ends 110a-11 and 110a-12 may face each other. The symmetrical curved body 110a-1 is in a state of being in the standby state before starting the reciprocating motion of the stretching part 110a so as to minimize the distance D between both ends 110a-11 and 110a-12 of the curved body, And the distance between both ends 110a-11 and 110a-12 of the curved body can be extended according to the contact with the skin in the operating state according to the reciprocating motion.

The other side of the symmetrical curved body 110a-1 is connected to the coupling structure 110a-2. The other side of the symmetrical curved body 110a-1 (for example, the central portion of the outer peripheral surface of the symmetrical curved body 110a-1) may be integrally connected to the coupling structure 110a-2, . For example, the symmetric curved body 110a-1 may be coupled with the coupling structure 110a-2 by a screw member (not shown) or an insertion member (not shown).

The coupling structure 110a-2 is connected to the symmetric curved surface 110a-1 and includes a structure capable of engaging with the supporting portion 120. [ As described above, the coupling structure 110a-2 may be integrally connected to the symmetric curved surface 110a-1, or may be connected by inserting or screwing. At this time, the coupling structure 110a-2 may include a rotating member that allows the symmetric curved body 110a-1 to freely rotate while the symmetrical curved body 110a-1 is connected.

In addition, the coupling structure 110a-2 may include a structure that can be coupled to the support portion 120 by insertion or screw coupling. As shown in FIG. 2A, the coupling structure 110a-2 includes a nut structure for threaded engagement with the support 120, but this is merely exemplary and may include a bolt structure for engagement with the support 120 Or it may include a protruding structure for insertion bonding. Further, the coupling structure 110a-2 may include a structure that is coupled and separated by a one-touch method other than a screw coupling or an insertion coupling. The coupling structure 110a-2 shown in FIG. 2A shows a circular column shape, but is merely an example, and may include various polygonal column shapes such as a square column and a hexagonal column.

FIG. 3A is a perspective view showing a stretching portion 110b of another embodiment according to the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a reference view viewed from various angles with respect to the stretching portion 110b shown in FIG. 3A.

In this symmetrical curved surface 110b-1, both end portions 110b-11 and 110b-12 of the plate end which are in contact with the skin may be symmetrical to each other.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, both end portions 110b-11 and 110b-12 of the symmetric curved surface 110b-1 are bent (B) once or more than twice in a curved surface formed by a constant curvature It can be extended later so that both ends face each other. The number of times of bending and the angle of bending can be changed according to the curved shape of the skin that the stretching part 110b contacts. Like the symmetrical curved body 110a-1 shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the symmetrical curved body 110b-1 has both end portions 110b-11 of the curved body 110b-1 in a standby state before starting the reciprocating motion of the stretching portion 110b And 110b-12 of the curved body in accordance with the contact with the skin in the operating state according to the reciprocating motion, and the distance D between the both ends 110b-11 and 110b-12 of the curved body The distance can be stretched.

For example, both ends 110c-11 and 110c-12 of the dividing curved body 110c-1 can be separated into two divided ends, respectively, so that the divided curved body has four divided ends 110c-111, 110c-112, 110c-121, 110c-122. However, it is merely an example that both ends of the dividing curved body 110c-1 are divided into two divided end portions, and both ends of the dividing curved body 110c-1 are each divided into three or more divided ends May be separated.

Even in the case of the divided curved surface 110c-1, the contraction state is set such that the distance between the both ends 110c-11 and 110c-12 of the curved body is minimized in the waiting state before the start of the reciprocating motion of the stretching portion 110c And the distance between both ends 110c-11, 110c-12 of the curved body can be elongated in contact with the skin in the operating state according to the reciprocating motion. At this time, the distance D1 between the divided end portions 110c-111 and 110c-112 forming the one end portion 110c-11 of the dividing curved surface 110c-1 is also maintained to be the minimum in the standby mode And the distance between the split ends 110c-111, 110c-112 can be stretched in contact with the skin in the operating mode. The distance D2 between the divisional end portions 110c-121 and 110c-122 forming the other end portion 110c-12 of the divided curved surface 110c-1 is also minimized in the standby mode And the distance between the split ends 110c-121, 110c-122 can be stretched in contact with the skin in the operating mode.

The dividing curved surface 110c-1 is formed by dividing the curved surface 110c-1 so that the distance between the dividing end portions 110c-111, 110c-112, 110c-121 and 110c- And a cutting groove G may be formed at one side of the side surface of the cutting insert. The cutting gap G can be increased or decreased in the case where the split ends are elongated or contracted by contact with the skin. The number of the incision grooves G may include at least one or more each of the divisional ends. The other side of the dividing curved surface 110c-1 is connected to the coupling structure 110c-2.

The coupling structure 110c-2 is connected to the dividing curved surface 110c-1 and includes a structure capable of engaging with the supporting portion 120. [ The characteristics of the coupling structure 110c-2 are also the same as those of the coupling structure 110a-2 shown in Figs. 2a and 2b, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the curved surface structure may include an asymmetric curved surface in addition to the symmetric curved surface and the divided curved surface. The asymmetric curved body is constituted by a surface for wrapping at least part of the skin, and the end of the surface may be one or two. The asymmetric curved body having two ends may have an asymmetrical shape of the ends.

Both ends of the various curved structures described above may further include an abutting member in contact with the skin. The material of the contact member may be a metal material or a biocompatible material. In addition, both ends of the curved structures may include at least one or more rotating rollers. The rotating roller may include a freewheel that stops when the curved structure moves in the first direction and rotates when the curved structure moves in the second direction. The first direction may be a movement direction in which the curved structure surrounds the neck, and the second direction may be a movement direction opposite to the direction in which the curved structure surrounds the neck.

The curved structures may be formed of a material including at least one of an elastic material, a silicone material, a synthetic resin material, a polymer elastic material, and a metal material. However, the material of the above-described curved structures is merely an example, and may be formed of any material capable of elongating or contracting.

The control unit 250 can control the output of the current supplied to the electrode unit 270 in the current output unit 260 by controlling the power supplied to the current output unit 260. [ For this, the controller 250 may be electrically connected to the power supply 240 and the current output 260.

Accordingly, the current generated in the current output unit 260 can be output to the electrode unit 270 intermittently. In addition, the controller 250 may control the output current of the current output unit 260 to be constant. That is, if the detected current value is greater than the reference current value, the control unit 250 controls the output voltage of the driving voltage supply module to reduce the current amount.
