Description

Microcurrent and vibration mask

The present invention relates to a micro-current and vibration mask, and more preferably, to a micro-current and vibration mask that provides vibration to the entire face by vibrating the vibrating element while worn in close contact with the face.

In general, a pack is originally meant to be'cold,' and it wraps the active substance on the face to remove dirt from the pores and effectively supplies moisture and beauty ingredients to the skin to maintain blood circulation smoothly and restore skin physiological functions. It is a kind of functional cosmetics. Since the pack can effectively provide various nutrients to the skin, various effects such as moisturizing, soothing, aging, removing dead skin cells and wastes, restoring tired skin, enhancing elasticity and whitening can be expected.

Natural materials such as herbal extracts, cucumbers, tangerines, aloe, carrots, mugwort, seaweed, ginseng, red ginseng, potatoes, cactus, plums, etc. for removing wastes from damaged skin, whitening, wrinkle relief, skin moisturizing, and nutrition supply Packs such as massage creams, nutrition packs, cleansing packs, and whitening packs are used.

Massagers or vibration stimulators are classified into a general-purpose massage device that massages the entire body and a local massage device that massages a part of the body according to the area of massage. The local massage device is manufactured to be suitable for various and local body parts. For example, the local massage device for a body part having a belt type, such as a waist, neck, and limbs, is mainly produced in a belt shape. do.

On the other hand, in the case of the face, a local massage should be used, but unlike the massager described above, it is necessary to irritate sensitive skin tissue, and therefore, it should operate as lightly and gently as possible due to its characteristics. In particular, not only the belt cannot be worn on the face, but also various massage sites such as temples, chin, nose, and cheekbones are scattered, making it unsuitable for the use of belt or rod-shaped massage equipment, and excessive massage. As a result, there is a problem that side effects of the facial skeleton and skin side effects occur.

To solve this problem, two types of facial massage apparatus have been proposed. One of them is a technique of manufacturing a mask shape with an injection material made of a hard material resembling a face shape, installing a vibration motor inside the mask shape, and transmitting the vibration of the vibration motor to the face through a pressing protrusion (Patent Document 1). However, in this method, the facial contour shape is different for each person, and masks of various sizes and shapes must be prepared, and even if the masks of various sizes and shapes are provided, it is very difficult to use a pressure projection to be consistent with a specific user's face. There was a ship. In addition, a vibration element is installed at a plurality of positions of a mask made of an injection material made of a hard material resembling a face shape, and it is necessary to electrically connect the vibration element.

Another method is a method of forming a two-dimensional planar mask as disclosed in Patent Document 2 below, and fixing it to the contour of the face using a fastener such as Velcro and applying vibration. This method has an advantage that it is easier to arrange circuit elements including a vibration element than the first method, but it has a problem that it is difficult to manufacture to adhere to various face sizes and shapes. In particular, in order to be appropriately worn for various face sizes and shapes, a two-dimensional mask shape must be formed of a resilient material and configured to be elongated when worn, but there is a problem in that disconnection occurs in circuit elements when worn.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1998-087763 (released on December 05, 1998)

The object of the present invention is to produce a circuit element including a vibration element in a two-dimensional planar form so that it can be constructed easily, inexpensively, and does not break the circuit element even when it is stretched when worn, and can be washed freely in water and worn on the face surface. It is an object of the present invention to provide a micro-current and vibration mask that can be easily deformed in various embodiments by separately providing a circuit board that is in close contact and provides a vibration function and a circuit board that provides a micro-current function.

It is not provided in the second interstitial area connecting the lower right eye, the mask mold is provided to be connected between the first and the second, and the fitting part is formed in the mask mold formed on the upper part of which the second printed circuit board is exposed. , It is formed to cover the upper and side parts of the third printed circuit board and the third printed circuit board having a matching electrode mounted on a control element and having a matching electrode in contact with the connecting electrode of the second printed circuit board, and fitting the mask mold It can be achieved by a micro-current and vibration mask, characterized in that it comprises a control element portion having a coupling case coupled to the forcibly fitted portion.

The mask mold is formed by a combination of a lower mask mold provided on the lower portion of the mounted first printed circuit board and an upper mask mold provided on the upper portion, and the lower mask mold is a first conductive mold part formed to be separated to maintain mutual insulation. And a second conductive mold portion, the second printed circuit board having first and second contacts, and the first conductive mold portion is electrically connected only to the first contact without being electrically connected to the second contact. It is preferable that the second conductive portion is formed to be electrically connected only to the second contact without being electrically connected to the first contact.

The upper mask mold has a shape in which the upper surface protrudes and the lower surface has a flat shape so as to have a space (room) in which N vibration elements are accommodated. The thickness of the lower mask mold was implemented to be formed to have at least two different thicknesses in the lower direction according to the position of the mold. The lower mask mold is preferably implemented to have a lower three-dimensional portion formed thickest downward between the wearer's eyes and nose.

The third printed circuit board is provided with a control unit for generating a control signal for on/off control of each vibrating element, and the second printed circuit board is provided with a microcurrent generator for generating an operation signal for generating a microcurrent. It is preferred.

The control element unit further includes an operation mode switch that receives a user's input, and the control unit stores a plurality of vibration patterns for operating the vibration element, and selects one of the plurality of vibration patterns according to the output of the operation mode switch. It is preferable to generate a control signal for controlling the N vibration elements.

When the control unit receives the control data related to the micro-current, the control data related to the micro-current is transmitted to the micro-current generating unit using a contracted protocol, and a plurality of micro-current patterns are stored and stored in the micro-current generating unit. It is preferable that the current generator selects and provides one of a plurality of fine current patterns using control data sent from the control unit.

It is desirable to form it.

The lower mask mold has a first non-conductive mold portion between the first conductive mold portion and the second conductive mold portion, and the first non-conductive mold portion is preferably formed below the region between the first and second contacts.

The second printed circuit board is provided with one ground terminal and N power terminals, and the ground terminal is commonly connected to N vibration elements through the mounted first printed circuit board to supply ground power, and each of the N power terminals is It is preferable to implement such that power is supplied independently by being connected to each vibrating element through the mounted first printed circuit board. In addition, since the first printed circuit board must be mounted inside between the upper and lower mask molds, the mounted first printed circuit board is preferably formed to have a thickness thinner than the second printed circuit board.

According to the microcurrent and vibration mask according to the present invention, since it has a two-dimensional planar shape, an oscillating element is mounted on the first printed circuit board, and an upper mask coupled by fusion bonding the mounted first printed circuit board on which the vibration element is mounted. Since most of the mold and lower mask molds are embedded in the mold, the production process and labor cost can be reduced compared to the conventional vibrating mask, which is a manual process for wiring between the vibrating element and the controller. It is possible to provide a microcurrent and vibration mask having this.

In addition, the micro-current and vibration mask according to the present invention is formed in a single size of two-dimensional plane (if necessary, at most three sizes or less), so that the user needs to be stretched according to the face size when worn. During this expansion and contraction process, there is a possibility that the mounted first printed circuit board embedded in the upper mask mold and the lower mask mold is damaged or a short circuit may occur in the connection of the circuit elements. In order to solve this problem, in the present invention, the first printed circuit board is mounted on the left eye and on the right side by using the characteristic that the forehead region is most enlarged and the chin portion is only slightly increased when the user wears a two-dimensional planar mask. It is not provided in the first inter-region connecting the upper eye and the second inter-region connecting the lower left eye and the lower eye, and the mask mold is configured to be connected between the first and second eyes. Therefore, even if a person with a large face wears a two-dimensional planar mask, it is possible to solve the problem of a short circuit of the internal circuit element or damage to the mounted first printed circuit board. Since the lower mask mold has a three-dimensional shape protruding downward, vibrations and micro-currents can be transmitted more effectively because the two-dimensional planar mask is kept in close contact when worn on the face.

Since the microcurrent and vibration mask according to the present invention are embedded in the upper mask mold and the lower mask mold in which most circuit elements are fused and integrated, the control element portion is also designed to be fitted to the fitting portion of the upper mask mold while maintaining airtightness. Even if the mask according to the present invention is used overlaid on a mask pack containing nutrients or the like or washed in water after use, there is an advantage in that it is easy to maintain and manage because moisture does not penetrate.

The microcurrent and vibration mask according to the present invention can be manufactured in various embodiments because the circuit board providing the vibration function and the circuit board providing the microcurrent function are used as separate third printed circuit boards and second printed circuit boards, respectively. It is possible to faithfully respond to various needs of consumers.

Since the microcurrent and vibration mask according to the present invention can individually control on/off of the vibration element, there is an advantage in that the vibration effect can be locally adjusted to the massage function. In addition, in the present invention, since it can be controlled independently, even if a disconnection occurs in a circuit board connected to some vibration elements, since the rest of the vibration elements can be individually controlled, stability against disconnection is increased.

The microcurrent and vibration mask 100 according to the present invention is mounted between the control element 10, the upper mask mold 20, the lower mask mold 70, the upper mask mold 20 and the lower mask mold 70. It is formed of a mounted first printed circuit board 50 and a second printed circuit board 40. The term mounted first printed circuit board 50 refers to a first printed circuit board on which a vibration element is mounted, and is a term used to distinguish it from the first printed circuit board before the vibration element is mounted. 1 and 2, the upper mask mold 20 and the lower mask mold 70 are injection molded to be embedded in the mounted first printed circuit board, and the second printed circuit board includes the connection electrode. The insert is injected between the upper mask mold 20 and the lower mask mold 70 so that at least a portion of the upper surface is exposed. The upper mask mold 20 and the lower mask mold 70 are made of a mask mold that is combined with each other to open the eye, nose, and mouth shapes and form along the periphery. The mask mold is provided with earwheel engaging portions E1 and E2 that are coupled to the wearer's earwheel. Of course, the mask mold can be formed in various forms except for the shape of opening the shape of the eyes, nose and mouth. For example, it is of course possible to form the velcro that removes both the earwheel engaging portions E1 and E2 and binds both sides to the back of the head.

The mask mold formed along the periphery while opening the shape of the eyes, nose and mouth is provided with N vibration elements, and each vibration element is formed at a position where vibration is required. The mask of FIG. 1 is provided with nine vibration elements, and each vibration element is implemented to be driven independently. The control element unit 10 stores various vibration patterns determined to drive the vibration element therein, and controls one of various vibration patterns according to control data received from the external device 200 or an operation signal of the operation mode switch 11. It is a device that selects and transmits a control signal to each vibrating device. In addition, if the control element unit 10 is determined that the control data transmitted from the external device 200 is not the control data for controlling the vibrating element, but the control data related to the micro-current, it is used as a micro-current generating unit using a communication protocol. It also transmits. Similarly, the control element unit 10 also performs a function of determining that the operation signal of the operation mode switch 11 is related to the generation of micro-current and transmitting the operation signal to the micro-current generation unit using a communication protocol.

The external device 200 may be implemented as a battery pack (not shown) and/or a dedicated device for generating control data (not shown) connected through a terminal (for example, a USB terminal) provided in the control element unit 10, When the control element unit 10 is provided with a wireless communication module, there is a portable communication device 200 (eg, a smart phone) capable of wireless communication capable of transmitting and receiving control data through wireless communication.

In FIG. 1, the control element 10 is implemented to be detachably coupled to the fitting portion 21 formed in the upper mask mold 20 to be used. The control element unit 10 is provided with a communication module (BLE, etc.), a battery, a USB terminal, and the like, and is implemented to charge a battery coupled therein in a detached state from the upper mask mold 20.

3 is a perspective view as viewed from the upper direction of the upper mask mold, FIG. 4 is a front view as viewed from the thickness direction, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the a-a', b-b', and c-c' directions of FIG. 3 to be. The upper mask mold 20 is formed of a non-conductive and stretchable material (eg, non-conductive silicone). The upper mask mold 20 has a shape that is formed along the periphery while opening the shape of the eyes, nose, and mouth, and is provided with earwheel engaging portions E1 and E2 that are coupled to the wearer's earwheel. The upper mask mold 10 has a shape protruding upward to provide a space for mounting the first printed circuit board 50 and the second printed circuit board 40 on the lower part. For example, a vibration element room 23a, 23b, ..., 23i for a plurality of vibration elements mounted on the first printed circuit board 51 is provided. On the other hand, the lower surface of the upper mask mold 10 is formed flat to have the same height. In addition, the lower left portion is provided with a fitting portion 21, and the fitting portion 21 is implemented in a detachable structure so that the control element portion 10 can be inserted or withdrawn as described above. As shown in FIG. 5(a), the fitting portion 21 has a control element portion 10 in the fitting portion 21 because the inner space is formed of silicon to resemble the shape of the coupling case of the control element portion 10. In the fitted state, airtightness was maintained to prevent fluids, etc. from entering from the outside. The second printed circuit board is placed on the area indicated by '1' on the cross-section of the fitting portion 21, and the area indicated by '2' indicates the area where the control element 10 is fitted. The control element portion 10 coupled to the fitting portion 21 has a relatively heavy weight, so that the fitting portion 21 can be stably felt even when the user moves while wearing the micro-current and vibration mask according to the present invention. ) Was formed in the lower left or right. When the fitting part 21 is formed on the upper part of the microcurrent and vibration mask (for example, the forehead part), when the user wakes up and moves, considerable pressure is applied to the microcurrent and vibration mask due to the weight of the control element 10 It can be peeled off if it is lost or severe. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 3, it was formed at the lower end as possible as the mouth height. When considering weight distribution, the fitting portion 21 is preferably formed near the central chin, but the mask mold according to the present invention has a flat shape formed in one size and is relatively close to the face surface even when worn by a user having various face sizes It must be flexible so that it can be. However, when the fitting portion 21 is formed in the vicinity of the central jaw, it is preferable to avoid installing the fitting portion 21 at the corresponding position, if possible, since the jaw portion does not expand or contract. FIG. 5(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along the direction bb' of FIG. 4, and the space indicated by '3' indicates the space occupied by the first printed circuit board, and the space indicated by '4' indicates the space occupied by the vibration element. Display. Similarly, FIG. 5(c) is a cross-sectional view taken along the direction c-c' of FIG. 4, and the space indicated by '3' represents the space occupied by the first printed circuit board.

6 is a front perspective view and a defecation perspective view of a control element according to the present invention. The control element unit 10 is provided with a circuit element mounted on a third printed circuit board inside the coupling case 17, and an operation mode switch 11 and a USB terminal 13 are provided on the outside surface of the coupling case 17. , The lower surface of the third printed circuit board 19 is provided under the coupling case 17. When the third printed circuit board 19 is formed, a matching electrode 15 is formed on a part.

7 is an embodiment of a circuit configuration of a control element according to the present invention. The control element unit 10 includes an antenna 117 and a wireless communication module 115, a control unit 110, a USB terminal unit 13, a power control module 120, an operation mode switch 11, and a micro-current generator. 140, a matching electrode 15 and a battery 130. The antenna 117, the wireless communication module 115, the micro-current generator 140 and the battery 130 are not necessarily provided on the third printed circuit board and are optional. In particular, the inventors of the present application have found that it is preferable to implement a circuit for generating a microcurrent on a second printed circuit board instead of mounting it on a third printed circuit board. It has been considered that the configuration for providing the current can be configured by separating in hardware, so that it can be implemented in various embodiments. Specifically, when mounting the microcurrent generator on the second printed circuit board, it is preferable to mount the microcurrent generator 140 on the lower surface of the second printed circuit board. In the present invention, although the term microcurrent generation unit 140 is used, substantially the microcurrent generation unit 140 may be implemented as one programmable control chip (CPU), and the second printed circuit board is a third printed circuit. After receiving power from the substrate, the micro current generation unit 140 is driven using the same, and the first contact point is generated after generating the micro current pattern using the control data transmitted using the protocol from the control unit (110 of FIG. 7 ). And through the second contact, to the conductive mold portion (eg, composed of conductive silicon).

The microcurrent means a small size of current supplied to the body through two electrodes that are in contact with the body while being spaced apart from each other. Accordingly, various microcurrent patterns may be formed by using the size of the supplied microcurrent, the interval at which the microcurrent is applied, and the size change per hour of the supplied microcurrent. The micro-current generating unit 140 stores and stores a plurality of micro-current patterns that generate micro-current in advance. When an operation signal or control data for selecting a plurality of fine current patterns is input from an operation mode switch or an external device, one of the stored plurality of fine current patterns is selected to be supplied to the first conductive mold part and the second conductive mold part described later. do. Of course, in the case of receiving control data by wire or wireless with an external device, the micro-current generator 140 receives control data for controlling each conductive mold part from an external device instead of selecting and using the pre-stored micro-current pattern. Needless to say, after analysis, it is possible to provide a microcurrent to each conductive mold portion.

The third printed circuit board 17 and the second printed circuit board are electrically connected to each other using a matching electrode 15 and a connection electrode, to implement operation power and/or control data. 8 and 9, reference numeral '49' denotes a substrate coupling groove for coupling the second printed circuit board with the upper mask mold 20. The matching electrode 15 and the connection electrode are composed of a plurality of plate springs and elastic It was formed in a structure that is interconnected while having.

The vibration element may be implemented as a piezo, a voice coil motor (VCM), and a vibration motor having an eccentric shaft. As a result of the experiment conducted by the inventors of the present application, when comparing price and performance, a vibration motor having an eccentric shaft was most suitable for application to a vibration mask.

The antenna 117 and the wireless communication module 115 are modules that transmit and receive data through wireless communication with external devices. For example, Bluetooth Low Energy (hereinafter referred to as BLE) may be used as wireless communication, and the wireless communication module 115 implements modulation and demodulation for BLE communication in hardware or software. The power control module 120 converts the unstable power supplied from the USB terminal unit 13 into a stable power source, and optionally, if the battery 130 is provided, uses power supplied from the USB terminal unit 13 or This module manages whether to use the power supplied from the battery and controls charging and discharging of the battery. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the wireless communication module 115 and the power control module 120 are illustrated as having separate configurations from the control unit 110, but when implemented using a CPU chip having good performance as the control unit 110, wireless Of course, the communication module 115 and the power control module 120 can be provided, so that they can be implemented in one hardware. Control data may be transmitted from an external device through the wireless communication module 115, and the received control data is stored in the control unit 110 to control each vibration element.

After receiving the control data through the wireless communication module 115 or the USB terminal, the control unit 110 determines whether the control data is for controlling a vibration element or whether it is control data for generating a microcurrent, and controlling the vibration element In the case of control data for generating a control signal for driving the vibrating element, it is transmitted to each vibrating element sequentially through the third printed circuit board, the second printed circuit board and the first printed circuit board. When it is determined that the control data input through the wireless communication module 115 is for generating a micro-current, the control unit 110 transmits it to the micro-current generating unit 140 mounted on the second printed circuit board using a communication protocol. To perform the function.

The control unit 110 may store various vibration patterns driving N vibration elements in advance, and may be operated by receiving an operation signal or control data for selecting one of the stored vibration patterns from an operation mode switch or an external device. As a vibration pattern, for example, 1) a first vibration pattern that applies vibration only to vibrating elements disposed around the eyes, 2) a second vibration pant that vibrates all vibration elements simultaneously, and 3) vibrate sequentially one vibration element. There may be a third vibration pattern. When receiving control data through an external device or wired or wireless, the control unit 110 receives control data for controlling each vibrating device from an external device instead of using a pre-stored vibration pattern, analyzes it, and analyzes each vibrating device. Of course, it can be turned on/off.

When the microcurrent generator is mounted on the second printed circuit board 40 without being mounted on the third printed circuit board, the functions in charge of controlling the vibration element and controlling the microcurrent can be separated, thereby providing various embodiments. There is an advantage.

For example, in order to manufacture a mask that provides only a vibration function in order to widen a range of consumer choices, manufacturing is performed by modifying the second printed circuit board so that the function related to the generation of microcurrent is removed and only the function of transmitting the driving voltage to the vibration element is taken. The lower cost embodiment can be easily implemented. Alternatively, in order to provide only the micro-current supply function, it is possible to easily construct a modified embodiment by removing the mounted first printed circuit board.

As shown in FIG. 8, it can be seen that the first printed circuit board is implemented such that the first inter-region and the second inter-region are not connected to each other. In contrast, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 10, it can be seen that the upper mask mold and the lower mask mold are configured such that the first inter-region and the second inter-region are also connected to each other. This is because the microcurrent and vibration mask according to the present invention are manufactured in a flat shape and manufactured to have a single size (or at most three sizes). The microcurrent and vibration mask according to the invention should be increased to match the size of the face when worn by the user. However, since the printed circuit board is provided to be recessed therein, it should be designed so that a short circuit does not occur in the printed circuit board. In addition, it is advantageous in terms of manufacturing that the first printed circuit board applied in the present invention is configured to be connected as much as possible. In general, if you look at the face of a person, it can be seen that even if they have various face sizes, the size difference of the chin portion is relatively small and the size of the forehead portion is relatively large. Therefore, in consideration of such an environment, the first printed circuit board 50 provided in the recess is formed to be connected in an integrated configuration through the chin side, and implemented so that the first inter-region and the second inter-region are not connected to each other. In consideration of the expansion of the forehead portion, the upper mask mold and the lower mask mold were formed to be connected to each other with elastic silicone so that the size could be easily increased.

As shown in FIG. 9, a microcurrent generating unit 140 and a microcurrent supply pattern were provided on the rear surface of the second printed circuit board. As described above, the micro-current generator 140 receives a control signal for micro-current generation through protocol communication with a control unit provided on the third printed circuit board. The micro-current generator 140 receives the control data through the protocol communication through the matching electrode and the connection electrode through the control unit provided on the third printed circuit board in the state in which these various micro-current patterns are stored, and then analyzes them and selects them. The current according to the pattern is provided to the first contact 41 and the second contact 43 through the

As illustrated in FIG. 9, the first contact 41 and the second contact 43 are provided in a through-hole shape, and the inside of the through-hole can be coated with an electrically conductive material to form an electrode. The configuration connected to the mold part will be described with reference to the drawings to be described later. Alternatively, as illustrated by reference numerals 41' and 43' in FIG. 9, the first contact and the second contact may be formed in the form of a flat electrode formed on the lower surface. The planar electrode form may be disposed so as to be in contact with the first conductive mold part and the second conductive mold part coupled to the lower portion, so that detailed description of the connection will be omitted.

The upper surface of the lower mask mold 70 is composed of a flat shape having the same height, and the lower surface has a three-dimensional shape that is formed so that some regions protrude downward to be in close contact with the face. Particularly, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, it can be seen that the lower three-dimensional portion 77 is formed to protrude in the lower direction (downward) in the region between the nose and the eye. The lower three-dimensional portion 77 allows the mask to be in close contact with the face surface when the user wears the mask according to the present invention similar to the nose ring attached to the spectacle frame. The lower mask mold 70 includes a first conductive mold portion 72 and a second conductive mold portion 76 formed on both sides with the first non-conductive mold portion 74 interposed therebetween. The lower mask mold 70 is installed to be disposed on the lower surfaces of the second printed circuit board and the third printed circuit board. In particular, the first non-conductive mold portion 74 is placed along the center region of the second printed circuit board, and the first conductive mold portion 72 and the second conductive mold are respectively along the regions on both sides of the remaining second printed circuit board. A portion 76 is provided. When the first contact and the second contact provided on the second printed circuit board are provided in a through-hole shape as shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, the first conductive mold part 72 and The second conductive mold portion 76 was provided with a first protruding electrode portion 71 and a second protruding electrode portion 73 at positions for insertion into the first and second contacts, respectively.

It is formed of.

Although it has been described that the control element unit 10 is provided with a battery, in an embodiment in which the price is lowered, a form without a battery may also be implemented. In the case of a mask that does not have a built-in battery, power must be supplied from the outside, and can be implemented to receive power from a battery pack (not shown) provided separately connected to a USB terminal provided in the control element. Also, in the case of an expensive embodiment, it has been described that a wireless communication module is provided inside and control data for vibration and micro-current for controlling a mask according to the present invention can be implemented to be supplied from an external device through wireless communication. Suitable external devices include portable communication devices, and smart phones as specific examples. However, since some users, such as the elderly, have poor smartphone operation, it may be difficult to transmit control data to an app provided in the smartphone. It is needless to say that such a problem can be implemented to separately provide a control data generation device (not shown) connected to a USB terminal provided in the control element unit 10 and control it. A dedicated device for generating control data is connected to a mask according to the present invention and is implemented as a terminal equipped with at least one operation button and a display as a dedicated terminal for supplying operating power and transmitting data for controlling vibration and/or microcurrent. Can. The external device in the present invention means a separate electric device other than a mask, and should be understood as a term collectively referring to the battery pack, control data fish dedicated device, and portable communication device.
