　マスク本体４を構成する高熱伝導シート５は、絶縁性を有したシートに封入されている。また、高熱伝導シート５は熱伝導性を高めるため、シート基材に高熱伝導性素材を混入した構成とされている。 The high heat conductive sheet 5 constituting the mask body 4 is enclosed in an insulating sheet. Moreover, in order to improve the thermal conductivity, the high thermal conductive sheet 5 is configured such that a high thermal conductive material is mixed into the sheet base material.
　具体的には、本実施形態ではシート基材としてエチレン酢酸ビニル樹脂（ＥＶＡ）を用いると共に、高熱伝導性素材として株式会社帝人製のラヒーマ（商品名）を混入したシートを用いている。また、本実施形態では、ラヒーマの混入量を30％（重量）としているが、これに限定されるものではない。このラヒーマは、約600W/M・kの熱伝導率を有している。 Specifically, in the present embodiment, ethylene vinyl acetate resin (EVA) is used as a sheet base material, and a sheet mixed with Teijin's Lahima (trade name) is used as a high thermal conductivity material. Further, in the present embodiment, the mixing amount of the lahima is set to 30% (weight), but is not limited to this. This Lahima has a thermal conductivity of about 600 W / M · k.
　しかしながら、高熱伝導シート５の材料はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えばアルミニウム、ステンレス，銅等の金属材、或いはアモルファス・ポリエチレンテレフタレート（Ａ－ＰＥＴ），ポリ塩化ビニル（ＰＶＣ）等の樹脂に高熱伝導性素材を混入した材料等を使用することが可能である。また、必要に応じて使用者の鼻及び口に対向する位置に通気孔を設けた構成としてもよい。 However, the material of the high thermal conductive sheet 5 is not limited to this. For example, a metal material such as aluminum, stainless steel or copper, or a resin such as amorphous polyethylene terephthalate (A-PET) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is possible to use a material mixed with a high thermal conductivity material. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provided the vent hole in the position facing a user's nose and mouth as needed.
　電気ヒータ７は、電流を流すことにより発熱する面状の発熱導体により形成されている。この電気ヒータ７は、高熱伝導シート５の外側面に形成されている。また各電気ヒータ７の形状は、本実施形態では図１及び図３に示すようにヒータパッド７ａを有した葉脈形状とされている。電気ヒータ７を複数のヒータパッド７ａを有した葉脈形状とすることにより、マスク本体４に対してヒータパッド７ａを高密度に形成することができる。 The electric heater 7 is formed of a planar heating conductor that generates heat when an electric current is applied. The electric heater 7 is formed on the outer surface of the high thermal conductive sheet 5. In addition, the shape of each electric heater 7 is a leaf vein shape having a heater pad 7a as shown in FIGS. By making the electric heater 7 into a vein shape having a plurality of heater pads 7 a, the heater pads 7 a can be formed with high density on the mask body 4.
　尚、電気ヒータ７の形状は葉脈形状に限定されるものではなく、十字形状を有したヒータ形状としてもよく、また星形形状のヒータ形状等としてもよい。また、電気ヒータ７の形成方法は特に限定されるものではなく、例えばエッチング法、印刷法等を用いて形成することが可能である。これらの方法を用いることにより、複雑な形状の電気ヒータ７であっても容易に形成することができる。 The shape of the electric heater 7 is not limited to the leaf vein shape, but may be a cross-shaped heater shape, a star-shaped heater shape, or the like. Moreover, the formation method of the electric heater 7 is not specifically limited, For example, it can form using an etching method, a printing method, etc. By using these methods, even the electric heater 7 having a complicated shape can be easily formed.
　この電気ヒータ７は、コネクタ８に接続されている。このコネクタ８は高熱伝導シート５の下縁部で、かつ、使用者Ａが温熱マスク２を装着した際に装着の邪魔にならない位置に配設されている。このコネクタ８は、後述するように温熱マスク２が加熱用ホルダ３に装着された際、加熱用ホルダ３に配設されたコンタクト部材１５と電気的に接続するものである。 This electric heater 7 is connected to a connector 8. The connector 8 is disposed at the lower edge of the high thermal conductive sheet 5 and at a position that does not interfere with the mounting when the user A wears the thermal mask 2. The connector 8 is to be electrically connected to a contact member 15 disposed on the heating holder 3 when the thermal mask 2 is mounted on the heating holder 3 as will be described later.
　外装カバー９は、電気ヒータ７及びコネクタ８を覆うように高熱伝導シート５に取り付けられる。よって、電気ヒータ７及びコネクタ８は、温熱マスク２の外部からは見えないように構成されている。しかしながら説明の便宜上、図１は外装カバー９を設けてない状態の温熱マスク２を示している。 The exterior cover 9 is attached to the high thermal conductive sheet 5 so as to cover the electric heater 7 and the connector 8. Therefore, the electric heater 7 and the connector 8 are configured not to be visible from the outside of the thermal mask 2. However, for convenience of explanation, FIG. 1 shows the thermal mask 2 in a state where the exterior cover 9 is not provided.
　上記のように本実施形態に係る温熱マスク２は、電気ヒータ７のヒータパッド７ａを葉脈形状とすることにより、マスク本体４に対してヒータパッド７ａを高密度に形成している。また、高熱伝導シート５に高熱伝導性部材であるラヒーマ（商品名）を混入したことにより高熱伝導シート５の熱伝導性を高め、これにより電気ヒータ７で発生した熱を蓄熱材層６の全体に均一に熱伝導させることができる。これにより、本実施形態に係る温熱マスク２では、短時間で蓄熱材層６を均一温度に昇温することができる。 As described above, in the thermal mask 2 according to this embodiment, the heater pads 7a of the electric heater 7 are formed in a vein shape, so that the heater pads 7a are formed with high density on the mask body 4. Moreover, the heat conductivity of the high heat conductive sheet 5 is increased by mixing the high heat conductive sheet 5 with a Lahima (trade name), and thus the heat generated in the electric heater 7 is transferred to the entire heat storage material layer 6. It is possible to conduct heat uniformly. Thereby, in the thermal mask 2 which concerns on this embodiment, the thermal storage material layer 6 can be heated up to uniform temperature in a short time.
　次に、上記構成とされた温熱マスク２が装着される加熱用ホルダ３について説明する。 Next, the heating holder 3 to which the thermal mask 2 configured as described above is mounted will be described.
　加熱用ホルダ３は、基台１０上に装着部１２を設けた構成とされている。基台１０にはＡＣ１００Ｖ電源に接続される電源コード１６、交流を直流に変換するための整流用ダイオード、平滑用コンデンサ等の電子部品からなる電子回路、電子回路からの整流出力を電気ヒータ７の加熱に適した電圧に変換するトランス、及びこのトランスに接続されたコンタクト部材１５等が設けられている。 The heating holder 3 has a configuration in which a mounting portion 12 is provided on a base 10. The base 10 has a power cord 16 connected to an AC 100 V power source, an electronic circuit composed of electronic components such as a rectifier diode for converting alternating current to direct current, and a smoothing capacitor, and a rectified output from the electronic circuit for the electric heater 7 A transformer that converts the voltage into a voltage suitable for heating, a contact member 15 connected to the transformer, and the like are provided.
　装着部１２は、支持部１３と底部１４とにより構成されている。支持部１３と底部１４は図１に示されるようにＬ字状をなし、温熱マスク２の装着性が高められている。また、温熱マスク２が装着部１２に装着された際、温熱マスク２のコネクタ８と対向する位置にはコンタクト部材１５が設けられている。 The mounting portion 12 includes a support portion 13 and a bottom portion 14. The support portion 13 and the bottom portion 14 are L-shaped as shown in FIG. 1, and the mounting property of the thermal mask 2 is enhanced. Further, a contact member 15 is provided at a position facing the connector 8 of the thermal mask 2 when the thermal mask 2 is mounted on the mounting portion 12.
　よつて、温熱マスク２を加熱用ホルダ３に装着することにより、コネクタ８とコンタクト部材１５は電気的に接続される。これにより、加熱用ホルダ３を介して温熱マスク２の電気ヒータ７に給電が行われ、よって電気ヒータ７は加熱される。これにより、蓄熱材層６は高熱伝導シート５を介して加熱される。 Therefore, by attaching the thermal mask 2 to the heating holder 3, the connector 8 and the contact member 15 are electrically connected. Thereby, electric power is supplied to the electric heater 7 of the thermal mask 2 through the heating holder 3, and thus the electric heater 7 is heated. Thereby, the heat storage material layer 6 is heated via the high heat conductive sheet 5.
　この際、蓄熱材層６を電気ヒータ７により適正加熱温度まで加熱する時間（この時間を既定加熱時間という）を予め実験で求めておくと共に、加熱用ホルダ３に電気ヒータ７に対する通電時間を計測するタイマーを設け、通電後に既定加熱時間が経過した後に自動的に電気ヒータ７に対する通電を停止する構成としてもよい。 At this time, a time for heating the heat storage material layer 6 to an appropriate heating temperature by the electric heater 7 (this time is referred to as a predetermined heating time) is obtained in advance by experiments, and the energization time for the electric heater 7 is measured in the heating holder 3. It is good also as a structure which provides the timer which performs and stops electricity supply with respect to the electric heater 7 automatically, after the predetermined heating time passes after electricity supply.
　従来においては、最適温熱温度を維持するためにマスクに設けた電気ヒータ７に直接給電用の電源コードを接続した構成としていた。しかしながら、マスクに直接電源コードを接続した構成では、取り扱いが煩わしくマスクが重たくなってしまうことは前述した通りである。
　そこで、本実施形態では温熱マスク２に蓄熱材層６及びこれを加熱する電気ヒータ７を設けると共に、電気ヒータ７にコネクタ８及びコンタクト部材１５を介して給電を行う構成とした。これにより、使用時には温熱マスク２を加熱用ホルダ３から分離することができ、電源コード１６が装着されていない状態で温熱マスク２を使用することが可能となった。したがって、本実施形態に係る温熱マスク装置１によれば、使用時における温熱マスク２の軽量化を図ることができ、使用性の向上を図ることができる。 Conventionally, a power supply power cord is directly connected to the electric heater 7 provided on the mask in order to maintain the optimum thermal temperature. However, in the configuration in which the power cord is directly connected to the mask, the handling is cumbersome and the mask becomes heavy as described above.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the thermal mask 2 is provided with the heat storage material layer 6 and the electric heater 7 for heating the same, and power is supplied to the electric heater 7 via the connector 8 and the contact member 15. As a result, the thermal mask 2 can be separated from the heating holder 3 during use, and the thermal mask 2 can be used without the power cord 16 attached. Therefore, according to the thermal mask device 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the weight of the thermal mask 2 during use, and to improve usability.
　しかしながら、単に温熱マスク２と加熱用ホルダ３とを分離したのみの構成では、蓄熱材層６を設けていない従来の温熱マスクでは、電気ヒータへの給電を停止すると同時に急速に温熱マスクの温度が低下し、所望する温熱効果を実現することができなかった。そこで、本実施形態に係る温熱マスク２では、蓄熱材層６を設けることにより、電気ヒータ７に対する給電を中止しても温熱マスク２が温熱効果を奏しうる温度に長時間維持できるようにしたことを特徴としている。 However, in the configuration in which the thermal mask 2 and the heating holder 3 are simply separated, in the conventional thermal mask in which the heat storage material layer 6 is not provided, power supply to the electric heater is stopped and the temperature of the thermal mask rapidly increases. The desired thermal effect could not be realized. Therefore, in the thermal mask 2 according to the present embodiment, by providing the heat storage material layer 6, the thermal mask 2 can be maintained for a long time at a temperature at which the thermal mask 2 can exert a thermal effect even if power supply to the electric heater 7 is stopped. It is characterized by.
　次に、温熱マスク２の蓄熱材層６に使用している蓄熱材について説明する。この蓄熱材は、電気ヒータ７による蓄熱材層６の加熱処理が終了した後も、温熱マスク２の温度を使用者Ａに対して温熱効果を奏しうる温度に維持するために設けられている。 Next, the heat storage material used for the heat storage material layer 6 of the thermal mask 2 will be described. This heat storage material is provided in order to maintain the temperature of the thermal mask 2 at a temperature at which a thermal effect can be exerted on the user A even after the heat treatment of the heat storage material layer 6 by the electric heater 7 is completed.
　温熱マスクを用いて美容に適した温熱処理を行う場合、最適な温熱効果を奏しうるマスク温度は３８℃～４２℃（以下、最適温熱温度という）である。また、温熱処理を効果的なものとするには、最適温熱温度を１０分間程度維持させることが望ましい。 When performing a thermal treatment suitable for cosmetics using a thermal mask, the mask temperature at which the optimal thermal effect can be achieved is 38 ° C. to 42 ° C. (hereinafter referred to as the optimal thermal temperature). Further, in order to make the heat treatment effective, it is desirable to maintain the optimum heat temperature for about 10 minutes.
　蓄熱材の材料としては、３８℃以上５０℃以下の温度領域で固相－液相間の相転移する材料であれば特に制限なく使用することができ、例えば、高級脂肪酸と一価又は二価の高級アルコールとのエステル、非環状炭化水素を単独で、もしくは2種類以上を混合した混合物で、３８℃以上５０℃以下の温度領域で固相－液相間の相転移する材料を使用することができる。更に、３８℃以上５０℃以下の温度領域で固相－液相間の相転移する範囲で、上記材料にワセリンを混合することもできる。 Any material can be used as the material for the heat storage material as long as it undergoes a phase transition between a solid phase and a liquid phase in a temperature range of 38 ° C. or more and 50 ° C. or less. Use a material that undergoes a phase transition between a solid phase and a liquid phase in a temperature range of 38 ° C. to 50 ° C., in the form of an ester with a higher alcohol, an acyclic hydrocarbon alone, or a mixture of two or more types. Can do. Furthermore, petrolatum can be mixed with the above material within a temperature range of 38 ° C. or more and 50 ° C. or less so that the phase transition between the solid phase and the liquid phase occurs.
　具体的には、ミリスチン酸ミリスチル、パラフィンワックス１１５（商品名、日本精蝋株式会社製）、ＥＭＷ－００３（商品名、日本精蝋株式会社製）及び、上記化合物の混合物が使用できる。また、パラフィンワックス１１５にワセリン（エイコサンやテトラコンタンなどの直鎖炭化水素の混合物）を混合して使用することができる。 Specifically, myristyl myristate, paraffin wax 115 (trade name, manufactured by Nippon Seiwa Co., Ltd.), EMW-003 (trade name, manufactured by Nippon Seiwa Co., Ltd.), and a mixture of the above compounds can be used. Further, it is possible to use paraffin wax 115 by mixing petrolatum (a mixture of linear hydrocarbons such as eicosane and tetracontane).
　本実施形態では、蓄熱材としてミリスチン酸ミリスチル（クローダジャパン株式会社製）及び、パラフィンワックス１１５（日本精蝋株式会社製）を用いた。ミリスチン酸ミリスチル及びパラフィンワックス１１５は、３８℃以上５０℃以下の温度領域で固相－液相間の相転移する材料である。また、このミリスチン酸ミリスチル及びパラフィンワックス１１５は、いずれも安全性の高い材料であり、化粧品の原料としても用いられるものである。 In this embodiment, myristyl myristate (manufactured by Croda Japan Co., Ltd.) and paraffin wax 115 (manufactured by Nippon Seiwa Co., Ltd.) were used as heat storage materials. Myristyl myristate and paraffin wax 115 are materials that undergo a phase transition between a solid phase and a liquid phase in a temperature range of 38 ° C. or more and 50 ° C. or less. The myristyl myristate and the paraffin wax 115 are both highly safe materials and are used as a raw material for cosmetics.
　本実施形態のように、温熱効果を実現しうる温度範囲内で相変化を行う材料を蓄熱材として使用することにより、温熱マスク２の温度低下を防止できる理由について、図４を用いて説明する。 The reason why the temperature drop of the thermal mask 2 can be prevented by using a material that changes the phase within a temperature range in which the thermal effect can be achieved as in the present embodiment can be prevented with reference to FIG. .
　図４は、温熱効果を実現しうる温度範囲内で相変化を行う材料と、相変化を行わない材料との間における蓄熱量の違いを示すための図である。同図では、横軸に熱量を取り、縦軸に温度を取り、また温熱効果を実現しうる温度範囲を使用範囲Ｔと示している。また、図中矢印Ａで示す蓄熱材（蓄熱材Ａという）は、ミリスチン酸ミリスチル及びパラフィンワックス１１５のように使用範囲Ｔ内で固相から液相に相変化を行うものである。これに対し、図中矢印Ｂで示す材料（比較材料Ｂという）は、使用範囲Ｔ内で相変化を起こさないものである。 FIG. 4 is a diagram for showing a difference in the amount of heat storage between a material that undergoes a phase change within a temperature range in which a thermal effect can be realized and a material that does not undergo a phase change. In this figure, the horizontal axis indicates the amount of heat, the vertical axis indicates the temperature, and the temperature range in which the thermal effect can be realized is indicated as a use range T. Further, a heat storage material (referred to as a heat storage material A) indicated by an arrow A in the figure performs a phase change from a solid phase to a liquid phase within a use range T like myristyl myristate and paraffin wax 115. On the other hand, the material indicated by arrow B in the figure (referred to as comparative material B) does not cause a phase change within the use range T.
　図４に示すように、比較材料Ｂでは、印加される熱量の変化に伴い温度は常に一定の割合で上昇し、よってその軌跡は略直線状となる。よって、使用範囲Ｔ内において比較材料Ｂに蓄熱される蓄熱量は図中ＥBとなる。 As shown in FIG. 4, in the comparative material B, the temperature always rises at a constant rate with the change in the amount of heat applied, and thus the locus becomes substantially linear. Therefore, the heat storage amount of heat storage in the comparison material B within the operating range T is drawing E B.
　これに対して使用範囲Ｔ内で相変化を行う蓄熱材Ａでは、相変化を行う際には熱エネルギー（潜熱）が必要となる。このため、蓄熱材Ａでは使用範囲Ｔ内で大きな蓄熱量ＥAが蓄熱される（ＥB＜ＥA）。よって、蓄熱された熱量が放出される場合、比較材料Ｂに比べて蓄熱材Ａの方が長時間にわたり高い温度を維持することができる。 On the other hand, in the heat storage material A that undergoes a phase change within the use range T, thermal energy (latent heat) is required when the phase change is performed. For this reason, in the heat storage material A, a large heat storage amount E A is stored within the use range T (E B <E A ). Therefore, when the amount of stored heat is released, the heat storage material A can maintain a higher temperature for a longer time than the comparative material B.
　上記の理由に基づき本実施形態では、蓄熱材層６に含有させる蓄熱材として、使用者Ａの肌に対して温熱効果を実現しうる温度範囲（使用範囲）内で相変化を行う特性を有するミリスチン酸ミリスチル又はパラフィンワックス１１５を用いた。具体的には、本実施形態では、蓄熱材としてミリスチン酸ミリスチルを用いた場合には、蓄熱材層６に含まれるミリスチン酸ミリスチルの含有量を15g/35cm2とした。また、蓄熱材としてパラフィンワックス１１５を用いた場合には、蓄熱材層６に含まれるパラフィンワックス１１５の含有量を15g/50cm2とした。 Based on the above reason, in the present embodiment, the heat storage material to be contained in the heat storage material layer 6 has a characteristic of performing a phase change within a temperature range (use range) that can realize a thermal effect on the skin of the user A. Myristyl myristate or paraffin wax 115 was used. Specifically, in this embodiment, when myristyl myristate is used as the heat storage material, the content of myristyl myristate contained in the heat storage material layer 6 is 15 g / 35 cm 2 . When paraffin wax 115 was used as the heat storage material, the content of paraffin wax 115 contained in the heat storage material layer 6 was set to 15 g / 50 cm 2 .
　図５は、ミリスチン酸ミリスチル及びパラフィンワックス１１５を上記のように含有させた熱材層６の経時的な温度変化を示す図である。同図では、横軸に時間を取り、縦軸に蓄熱材層と使用者Ａの皮膚との間の温度を示している。
　また、図中矢印Ａで示すのはパラフィンワックス１１５を含有した蓄熱材層の特性であり、図中矢印Ｂで示すのはミリスチン酸ミリスチルを含有した蓄熱材層の特性である。また、同図に示す実験結果では、夫々の蓄熱層を50℃の恒温槽に一晩聖地し、その後の肌負荷後の温度推移を測定した。尚、温度を50℃に設定したのは、電気ヒータ７により蓄熱材層６が加熱される温度が約50℃であるからである。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the temperature change with time of the heat material layer 6 containing the myristyl myristate and the paraffin wax 115 as described above. In the figure, time is taken on the horizontal axis, and the temperature between the heat storage material layer and the skin of the user A is shown on the vertical axis.
Also, the arrow A in the figure indicates the characteristics of the heat storage material layer containing paraffin wax 115, and the arrow B in the figure indicates the characteristics of the heat storage material layer containing myristyl myristate. Further, in the experimental results shown in the figure, each heat storage layer was sacred in a 50 ° C. constant temperature bath overnight, and the temperature transition after the subsequent skin load was measured. The temperature is set to 50 ° C. because the temperature at which the heat storage material layer 6 is heated by the electric heater 7 is about 50 ° C.
　同図に示すように、ミリスチン酸ミリスチル及びパラフィンワックス１１５のいずれを用いた場合であっても、１０分以上にわたり38℃～42℃の温度（温熱効果を実現しうる温度範囲）に蓄熱材層の温度を保つことができた。温熱マスクを用いた通常の温熱処理時間は、5分～10分である。よって、本実施形態に係る蓄熱材層６を用いることにより、温熱マスク２を加熱用ホルダ３と分離し、電源コード１６を温熱マスク２に設けない構成としても、使用者Ａに対して確実な温熱処理を行うことができることが実証された。 As shown in the figure, regardless of whether myristyl myristate or paraffin wax 115 is used, the heat storage material layer is kept at a temperature of 38 ° C. to 42 ° C. (temperature range in which a thermal effect can be realized) for 10 minutes or more. Was able to keep the temperature. The normal heat treatment time using a heat mask is 5 to 10 minutes. Therefore, by using the heat storage material layer 6 according to the present embodiment, the thermal mask 2 is separated from the heating holder 3 and the power cord 16 is not provided on the thermal mask 2. It has been demonstrated that thermothermal treatment can be performed.
　以上、本発明の好ましい実施形態について詳述したが、本発明は上記した特定の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲に記載された本発明の要旨の範囲内において、種々の変形・変更が可能なものである。 The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. It can be modified and changed.
　例えば、蓄熱材層６に含有させる蓄熱材は上記したミリスチン酸ミリスチル，パラフィンワックス１１５に限定されるものではなく、上記した温熱効果を実現しうる温度範囲（使用範囲）内で相変化を行う特性を有する材料であれば、他の材料を用いることも可能である。この際、蓄熱材層６は使用者Ａの肌に触れる可能性がある部位となるため、安全性の高い材料であることが必要である。 For example, the heat storage material to be contained in the heat storage material layer 6 is not limited to the above-described myristyl myristate and paraffin wax 115, but has a characteristic of performing a phase change within a temperature range (usage range) in which the above-described thermal effect can be realized. Other materials can be used as long as they have a material. At this time, since the heat storage material layer 6 becomes a part that may touch the skin of the user A, it is necessary to be a highly safe material.
　また上記実施形態では、蓄熱材層６を使用者Ａの肌に直接接触させる構成を示したが、蓄熱材層６と使用者Ａの肌との間に化粧料を含浸した化粧シート等を設け、より温熱効果を高めることとしてもよい。 Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the structure which makes the thermal storage material layer 6 contact the user A's skin directly was shown, the decorative sheet etc. which impregnated cosmetics were provided between the thermal storage material layer 6 and the user's A skin. It is good also as raising a thermal effect more.
