Skin cleaning can be performed softly while preventing the skin surface from being rubbed with a brush. Therefore, even though the skin is cleaned using the brush body 20, the skin surface does not become red or the skin surface is damaged. Even users who are sensitive and responsive can perform a gentle washing operation (claim 26).

  When the switch 26 is turned on, the operation mode becomes the foaming mode, and the brush body 20 can be rotationally driven by the motor 28 for a predetermined time. After the foaming mode is completed, the operation mode is automatically switched to the skin cleaning mode. As the switch 26 is turned on again, the brush body 20 can be vibrated for a certain period of time with the vibration generating structure. According to such a cleaning brush 2, a series of operations from foaming work to skin cleaning can be continuously performed. Therefore, the brush body 20 can be prevented from being rotated more than necessary, or the brush body 20 can be prevented from vibrating for a long time, and the skin surface can be reliably prevented from being damaged.

  If the relationship between the width D3 of the gripping portion 79 and the vertical height dimension H3 is set so as to satisfy the inequality (D3> H3), the gripping portion 79 can be easily grasped with fingers, so that the brush body 20 can be used alone. The brush body 20 can be operated lightly when used in (Claim 28).

  If the gripping portion 79 includes a measuring container 85 that is detachably attached to the brush base 60, a foaming liquid such as water can be measured by the measuring container 85 and included in the brush bundle 61. The amount of foaming liquid such as water to be contained in the brush bundle 61 is always optimized to suitably generate bubbles and foam lump (Claim 29).

  When the finger-hanging piece 83 protrudes from the outer surface of the gripping portion 79, the finger holding the gripping portion 79 can be received at the periphery of the finger-hanging piece 83 and the finger can be prevented from slipping, so the brush body 20 is used alone. Thus, the gripping and holding of the brush body 20 can be reliably performed (claim 30).

  When the finger-hanging piece 83 protrudes from the measuring container 85, the cosmetic cover 80 can be easily separated from the brush base 60 by removing and operating the measuring container 85 with the fingertip applied to the finger-holding piece 83. Further, when the foaming liquid is measured with the measuring container 85 separated from the brush base 60, the measuring container 85 can be easily operated by picking the finger hook piece 83 with the fingertip (claim 31).

  When the hanging hole 84 is formed in the finger hanging piece 83, the surface of the finger hanging piece 83 is uneven, so that the fingertip applied to the finger hanging piece 83 is difficult to slip and the finger hanging piece 83 is easily picked. Moreover, if the hanging hole 84 is formed in a penetrating shape, the brush bundle 61 can be dried by hanging the entire brush body 20 using the hanging hole 84 (claim 32).

In FIG. 2, the foaming device includes a foaming container 1, a cleaning brush (stirring body) 2 attached to the foaming container 1, and a holder 3 that supports the cleaning brush 2 in a stirring posture. The foaming container 1 includes a foam generating unit 4 that is circular in plan view and opens upward, a stand 5 that supports the foam generating unit 4, and a holder 3 that is continuously formed at the upper rear part of the foam generating unit 4. It consists of a curry pot-shaped plastic molded product.

  The holder 3 is formed in a housing shape having a U-shaped cross section by a holder bottom wall 8 that is smoothly continuous and a holder side wall 9 that extends continuously upward from the holder bottom wall 8. The holder bottom wall 8 and the holder side wall 9 are inclined downward from the rear end toward the bubble generating unit 4, and a brush body 20 described later is suspended and supported on the lower surface side of the rear end of the holder bottom wall 8. A round shaft-shaped brush support 10 projects downward. In a state where the main body case 21 of the cleaning brush 2 is mounted on the holder 3 and held in a stirring posture (see FIG. 10), the lower half peripheral surface of the main body case 21 is firmly supported by the holder bottom wall 8 and the holder side wall 9. Accordingly, the rotational reaction force acting on the main body case 21 during foaming can be received by the holder side wall 9 and the cleaning brush 2 can be supported in a stable state by the holder 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an inverted V-shaped partition wall 11 is formed between the internal space of the holder 3 and the internal space of the foam generating unit 4 to divide both spaces in the front and rear directions. A communication groove 12 that communicates with the space is formed to be recessed in a state orthogonal to the partition wall 11. Of the partition walls 11 facing the inner space of the holder 3, the inclined wall surrounding the communication groove 12 functions as a restricting portion 13 for receiving the cleaning brush 2 attached to the holder 3. The restricting portion 13 is located at the inclined lower end of the internal space of the holder 3. The internal space of the holder 3 and the internal space of the foam generation unit 4 that are divided forward and backward by the partition wall 11 communicate with each other below the upper opening surface of the foam generation unit 4.

Bubbling ribs 17 are provided at a plurality of locations on the front circumferential surface of the peripheral wall 16 of the vessel so that a strong pressure is applied to the brush body 20 and foaming is performed while applying a strong pressure to the foaming element. In this example, continuous-wave-type foaming ribs 17 were formed from the opening edge of the peripheral wall 16 to the bottom wall 15 at six locations on the front peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 16. A portion extending from the vessel bottom wall 15 to the vessel surrounding wall 16 where the foaming ribs 17 are formed functions as a foaming portion F that generates bubbles in cooperation with a brush bundle 61 described later. In addition, the second half peripheral surface of the container surrounding wall 16 facing the foaming rib 17 is formed by a smooth two-dimensional plane. As described above, the foaming rib 17 is formed with a chevron-shaped rib whose cross section is continuous in the vertical direction, but may be formed with a chevron-shaped cross section that is intermittent in the vertical direction.

  The stand 5 is continuously extended from the lower side of the foam generating unit 4 to the lower side of the holder 3 and is formed in the shape of an ellipse that is long in the front-rear direction, and the stand 5 that opposes the brush support 10 described above vertically. A circular cover storage portion 18 for storing and storing a decorative cover 80 described later is provided on the wall surface. The rear end of the elliptical stand 5 is located behind the rear end of the holder 3. Thus, by forming the stand 5 long in the front-rear direction from the lower part of the foam generating unit 4 to the lower part of the holder 3, the foaming container 1 and the cleaning brush 2 attached to the holder 3 can be supported in a stable state. The overall impression of the stand can be elegant and simple.

The main body case 21 also serves as a grip, an upper half upper case 22, a bottomed cylindrical lower case 23 that is attached to and detached from the upper case 22, and an end cover 24 that is fixed to the upper end of the upper case 22 It consists of A switch recess 25 is formed in the right side surface of the upper case 22, and a main switch (switch) 26 for switching a power supply state to the motor 28 is provided below the switch recess 25.

  As shown in FIG. 4, an inner frame 27 is accommodated in the main body case 21, and the motor 28, the battery 29, the vibration generating structure, and the rotational power of the motor 28 are output to the inner frame 27 in a decelerated state. The transmission structure is built in. The brush drive structure includes a motor 28, a transmission structure, and a vibration generating structure. As shown in FIG. 5, the motor 28 is disposed at a position offset from the central axis Q in the vertical direction of the main body case 21 toward the shoulder 34. Reference numeral 30 denotes an LED lamp that emits light according to the operation mode of the cleaning brush 2. Although not shown, a control board for controlling the drive state of the motor 28 and the vibration generating structure (first and second vibration motors 51 and 52) is arranged inside the upper case 22 facing the switch recess 25. ing. The control board is fixed to the inner frame 27.

  The upper case 22 is formed in an elliptic cylinder shape that is long in the front-rear direction, and the major axis dimension of the ellipse at the upper end of the case is set to be larger than the major axis dimension of the ellipse at the lower end of the case. It is formed in a shape. As shown in FIG. 6, the end cover 24 is fastened with a screw 32 to a seal lid 43 described later in a state of closing the upper opening of the upper case 22, and a boss wall 33 for connecting the brush body 20 to the upper surface thereof is expanded. A crescent-shaped shoulder 34 is projected forward along the lower front edge of the boss wall 33. As shown in FIG. 10, in the state where the main body case 21 is mounted on the holder 3 and held in the stirring posture, the peripheral surface of the main body case 21 is received and supported by the holder bottom wall 8 and the holder side wall 9 and at the same time The portion 34 is received and positioned by the previous restricting portion 13. In this way, by positioning the cleaning brush 2 attached to the holder 3 with respect to the foam generating part 4, the amount of elastic deformation of the brush bundle 61 in contact with the instrument bottom wall 15 and the instrument surrounding wall 16 of the foaming part F can be reduced. It is always constant and uniform. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the brush bundle 61 from being excessively deformed and deteriorated in a state where the cleaning brush 2 is mounted on the holder 3. Most of the weight of the cleaning brush 2 in the mounted state is received by the restricting portion 13 joined to the shoulder portion 34.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the grip free end of the main body case 21 protrudes from the protruding end (rear end) of the holder 3 in a state where the main body case 21 is attached to the holder 3 and held in the stirring posture. Specifically, when the length in the central axis Q direction of the main body case 21 supported by the holder 3 is W1, and the length in the central axis Q direction of the grip free end protruding from the protruding end of the holder 3 is W2. The holder 3 and the body case 21 are formed so as to satisfy the inequality (W1> W2). When the center of gravity G of the cleaning brush 2 is in the vicinity of the main switch 26, the grip free end protrudes from the protruding end of the holder 3 by the horizontal distance H2, and the center of gravity G extends from the protruding end of the holder 3 by the horizontal distance H1. Only the position close to the brush body 20 is located. The relationship between the horizontal distance H1 and the horizontal distance H2 is set so as to satisfy the inequality (H1> H2). In this way, most of the main body case 21 is held by the holder 3, and the center of gravity G of the cleaning brush 2 is positioned closer to the foam generating unit 4 than the protruding end of the holder 3, thereby cleaning the holder 3. The brush 2 can be supported in a stable state by the holder 3. Further, even when a rotational reaction force acts on the main body case 21 during foaming, the main body case 21 is prevented from tilting in a direction in which the brush body 20 floats away from the vessel bottom wall 15 of the foam generating unit 4, and the cleaning brush 2 can be kept in a stirring posture in a stable state.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the rotational power of the motor 28 is reduced by a transmission structure comprising a driving gear 35 fixed to the output shaft, a first reduction gear 36, a second reduction gear 37, and a final gear 38. And output from the drive shaft 39 fixed to the final gear 38. The first reduction gear 36 and the second reduction gear 37 are integrally provided with a large-diameter gear and a small-diameter gear, respectively, and are rotatably supported by the first intermediate shaft 40 and the second intermediate shaft 41. The first intermediate shaft 40 is pivotally supported by an inner frame 27 and a gear frame 42 fixed to the upper end of the frame 27, and the second intermediate shaft 41 has a gear frame 42 and an upper opening of the upper case 22. It is pivotally supported by a sealing lid 43 that closes.

  In FIG. 7, the brush body 20 is fixed to a brush bundle 61 composed of a group of brush hairs extending vertically, a cylindrical holding ring 75 that fixes and holds the lower end of the brush bundle 61, and an outer peripheral surface of the holding ring 75. And a brush base 60. The brush bundle 61 is configured by bundling a group of synthetic fibers having a fiber diameter of 50 to 70 μm in a circular cross section, and a lower end portion thereof is fixed to an inner peripheral surface of a holding ring 75 made of a metal plate. The brush base 60 includes a bottomed round cylindrical brush support 62, an adjustment ring 63 that is supported by the brush support 62 so as to be slidable up and down, and a joint body 64 that projects from the center of the lower surface of the brush support 62. The brush ring 61 and the holding ring 75 are integrated with the brush support body 62 by fitting and fixing the holding ring 75 to the inner surface of the cylindrical wall of the brush support body 62. The adjustment ring 63 is slid to the normal position (the state shown in FIG. 7) covering the peripheral surface of the brush support 62 and close to the upper end of the brush support 62 to reduce the diameter of the brush bundle 61 in the reduced diameter position ( The slide operation can be performed in the state shown in FIG. The joint body 64 also serves as a mounting structure 93 for engaging and mounting the brush body 20 to the brush support 10.

  In order to guide the adjustment ring 63 so that it can only slide up and down, a flat slide surface 65 is provided on each of the opposed peripheral surfaces of the brush support 62 and the adjustment ring 63 as shown in FIG. 66 and a slide groove 67 are provided. Further, in order to hold the adjustment ring 63 in the normal position and the reduced diameter position, the upper and lower surfaces of the brush support 62 at a position shifted by 90 degrees from the slide surface 65 and the inner peripheral surface of the adjustment ring 63 are arranged. Engaging ribs 68 and 69 are provided at the lower end. As shown in FIG. 11, the joint body 64 is formed in a hexagonal cylindrical shape by alternately arranging three passive walls 70 that receive rotational force and three elastic arms 71 that engage with the drive piece 46. Engagement pieces 72 project from the lower end of the inner surface of each elastic arm 71.

  The brush bundle 61 includes a rod-shaped brush shaft portion 76 extending upward from the upper edge of the holding ring 75, an outwardly curved brush tip portion 77 formed at the tip of the brush shaft portion 76, and the center of the brush tip portion 77. And holding recesses (recesses) 78 formed in the recesses. In this embodiment, the brush bundle 61 is formed so as to expand upward from the brush base 60 side toward the brush tip portion 77, the brush shaft portion 76 is formed in an inverted truncated cone shape, and the brush tip portion 77 is partially formed. It was formed into a spherical shape. The holding recess 78 is formed of a partially spherical concave curved surface so that a foaming agent such as a facial cleanser can be held therein. The brush shaft portion 76 serves to contain more foam and cleaning agent, and the brush tip portion 77 serves to effectively foam the cleaning agent.

  The dimensional relationship among the brush bundle 61, the holding ring 75, and the brush base 60 constituting the brush body 20 is preferably set as described below. As shown in FIG. 1, when the horizontal maximum horizontal width of the inner peripheral surface of the holding ring 75, that is, the inner diameter is D0, and the protruding dimension of the brush bundle 61 from the holding ring 75 is H0, the inner diameter D0 of the holding ring 75 is shown. And the protruding dimension H0 of the brush bundle 61 are set so as to satisfy the inequality (D0 / 2 <H0). As shown in FIG. 7, when the diameter (horizontal width) of the brush base 60 is D and the protruding dimension of the brush bundle 61 from the brush base 60 is H, the horizontal width D of the brush base 60 and the protruding dimension of the brush bundle 61 are shown. H is set so as to satisfy the inequality (D / 2 <H). As will be described later, when face washing is performed, the face of the brush shaft 76 is washed with the axial peripheral surface applied to the face skin. As described above, the face from the holding ring 75 or the brush base 60 of the brush bundle 61 is used. When the protruding dimensions H0 and H are increased, the strength of the waist of the brush shaft portion 76 when the facial skin is washed with the brush bundle 61 can be reduced, so that the touch feeling of the brush shaft portion 76 on the face skin is soft and smooth. It can be. Moreover, it is possible to prevent the face skin from being damaged by making the contact between the brush shaft portion 76 and the face skin smooth by including more bubbles in the vertically long brush bundle 61.

  Further, when the inner diameter of the holding ring 75 is D0 and the protruding dimension of the brush bundle 61 from the holding ring 75 is H0, the inner diameter D0 of the holding ring 75 and the protruding dimension H0 of the brush bundle 61 are inequalities (D0 < H0) is set to be satisfied. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the vertical height dimension of the brush base 60 is H4, the horizontal width of the brush base 60 is D, and the projecting dimension of the brush bundle 61 from the brush base 60 is H, the brush base 60 The vertical height H4 and the horizontal width D and the protruding dimension H of the brush bundle 61 are set so as to satisfy the inequality (H4 <D <H). According to such a brush body 20, the projecting dimensions H 0 · H from the holding ring 75 or the brush base 60 of the brush bundle 61 can be further increased. Therefore, the contact feeling of the brush shaft portion 76 with respect to the facial skin can be further softened and smooth, and more bubbles are included in the brush bundle 61 that is vertically long so that the contact between the brush shaft portion 76 and the facial skin is achieved. Can be made smooth. If the vertical height dimension H4 of the brush base 60 is set smaller than the horizontal width D (H4 <D), the overall vertical height dimension of the brush body 20 including the brush base 60 can be reduced. As a result, the entire cleaning brush 2 including the main body case 21 that supports the brush body 20 can be accommodated in a compact manner with the long brush bundle 61 provided vertically.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the vertical height dimension of the main body case 21 is H5, the vertical height dimension H4 and the horizontal width D of the brush base 60, the protruding dimension H of the brush bundle 61, and the vertical dimension of the main body case 21 The height dimension H5 is set so as to satisfy the inequality (H4 <D <H <H5). According to such a cleaning brush 2, the main body case 21 that also serves as a grip can be easily held up and down for a long time while the entire cleaning brush 2 is compactly accommodated as described above.

  Regarding the brush bundle 61, when the inner diameter of the holding ring 75 is D0, the diameter (horizontal width) of the brush base 60 is D, and the diameter (horizontal width) at the upper end of the brush shaft portion 76 is D1, the inner diameter D0 of the holding ring 75. The diameter (width) D of the brush base 60 and the diameter (width) D1 of the brush shaft portion 76 are set so as to satisfy the inequality (D0 <D <D1). Thus, when the brush shaft portion 76 is formed in an inverted truncated cone shape, the diameter in the vicinity of the boundary between the brush shaft portion 76 and the brush tip portion 77 is increased. In addition, the cleaning effect when cleaning the facial skin on the axial peripheral surface of the brush shaft portion 76 can be enhanced. Further, since the brush tip portion 77 is formed in a partial spherical shape, the contact area of the vessel bottom wall 15 and the vessel surrounding wall 16 with the brush tip portion 77 at the time of foaming can be increased to generate bubbles more effectively. .

  As shown in FIG. 6, the brush body 20 configured as described above is used by connecting the joint body 64 of the brush base 60 to the drive piece 46 and integrating the brush body 20 with the main body case 21. In a state where the brush body 20 is connected to the drive shaft 39, the engagement piece 72 of each elastic arm 71 is engaged with the lower end surface of the drive piece 46 to prevent the brush body 20 from being separated from the drive shaft 39. ing. Unlike the above, the brush body 20 can be used alone with the brush base 20 removed from the drive shaft 39 and the brush base 60 held with one hand. Thus, in order to improve the appearance of the brush body 20 when used alone, and to protect the joint body 64 protruding from the lower surface of the brush base 60, the decorative cover 80 is provided on the lower surface of the brush base 60. Is detachably mounted (see FIG. 7). The brush base 60 and the decorative cover 80 constitute a grip portion 79 when the brush body 20 is used alone.

  As described above, when the brush body 20 of the cleaning brush 2 is detachably connected to the main body case 21, the brush body 20 can be used alone with the brush body 20 removed from the main body case 21. Therefore, the foam scooped with the brush body 20 can be carefully applied to the skin surface. When applying the foam, it is only necessary to hold the brush body 20 that is lighter than the main body case 21, so that the foam can be applied without being lifted. Also, by stroking the brush body 20 in contact with the skin surface, the skin surface can be actively cleaned in a cleaning state that suits the user's preference, and it can be lifted in the same way as when foam is applied. Can clean the skin without any problems. No power is consumed when washing the skin. In addition, when the brush body 20 is washed with water, there is also an advantage that bubbles can be surely washed out by carefully washing every corner of the brush body 20.

  In FIG. 7, a decorative cover 80 includes a circular container-shaped cover main body 81 that opens upward, a mounting portion 82 provided at the center of the inner surface of the cover main body 81, and a tongue-like finger-hanging piece 83 that is formed to project from the periphery of the opening. It consists of a plastic molded product that is integrated with The mounting portion 82 is formed in a hexagonal cylindrical shape corresponding to the joint body 64 of the brush support body 62, and the decorative cover 80 is attached to the brush support body 62 by fitting the mounting portion 82 to the joint body 64. And the cover body 81 can cover the outer surface of the joint body 64 (mounting structure 93). The brush body 20 can be used by holding the brush base 60 (gripping portion 79) in this state with one hand.

  As described above, when the brush body 20 is removed from the main body case 21 and the outer surface of the mounting structure 93 is covered with the decorative cover 80, the appearance when the brush body 20 is separated from the main body case 21 and used is the decorative cover. 80 can be arranged. Further, since the mounting structure 93 is covered with the decorative cover 80, it is possible to prevent the fingers from hitting the mounting structure 93 when the brush body 20 is used while holding the brush base 60 (gripping portion 79) with one hand. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the joint body 64 that also serves as the mounting structure 93, and to always properly connect the joint body 64 and the drive piece 46.

  Since the finger-hanging piece 83 in a state where the decorative cover 80 is mounted on the brush base 60 protrudes outward from the joint surface between the brush base 60 and the decorative cover 80, the decorative cover with the fingertip applied to the finger-holding piece 83 is provided. By removing and operating 80, the decorative cover 80 can be easily separated from the brush support 62. In addition, it is possible to prevent the finger from slipping by receiving the finger holding the brush base 60 (the gripping portion 79) at the periphery of the finger hanging piece 83. A hanging hole 84 is formed in the finger hanging piece 83 in a penetrating manner. When the hanging hole 84 is formed, irregularities are generated on the surface of the finger hanging piece 83, so that the fingertip hung on the finger hanging piece 83 is difficult to slip and the finger hanging piece 83 is easily picked. Thereby, separation operation from the brush base 60 of the decorative cover 80 can be performed more simply. Further, if a hook or the like is passed through the hanging hole 84 in a state where the decorative cover 80 is attached to the brush base 60, the entire brush body 20 can be suspended and the brush bundle 61 can be dried.

  The decorative cover 80 in this embodiment also serves as a measurement container 85 for foaming liquid such as water or hot water, and a measurement display is provided on the inner surface thereof. Specifically, the hexagonal cylindrical mounting portion 82 provided on the inner surface of the cover main body 81 constitutes a measuring portion for measuring the foamed liquid, and a measurement display is printed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall, or the cylinder The weighing display is formed by concave ribs or convex ribs formed on the outer peripheral surface of the wall. Therefore, the periphery of the weighing display can be protected by being covered with the cover body 81. When the foaming liquid is measured with the measuring container 85, the measuring container 85 can be gripped by gripping the finger hook 83 with the fingertip. Moreover, if the measuring container 85 is suspended through a hook or the like in the hanging hole 84 provided in the finger hanging piece 83, the measuring container 85 after the measurement can be dried. In addition, when it is necessary to measure more water or hot water, the cover main body 81 can be used as the measuring unit, or both the cover main body 81 and the mounting unit 82 can be used as the measuring unit.

  The diameter (lateral width) D <b> 3 of the grip portion 79 matches the diameter (lateral width) D of the brush base 60. The diameter D3 and the vertical height dimension H3 of the gripping portion 79 are set so as to satisfy the inequality (D3> H3). As described above, when the diameter (width) D3 of the gripping portion 79 is set to be relatively large, the gripping portion 79 can be easily grasped with fingers, so that the brush body 20 is operated lightly when the brush body 20 is used alone. be able to. In addition, the diameter (horizontal width) D3 and vertical height dimension H3 of the gripping portion 79, the diameter (horizontal width) D and vertical height dimension H4 of the brush base 60, the protruding dimension H of the brush bundle 61 from the brush base 60, The diameter (width) D1 at the upper end of the brush shaft portion 76 is that when the adjustment ring 63 is in the normal position.

  The details of the foaming action by the foaming container 1 and the cleaning brush (stirring body) 2 and the details of the skin cleaning action by the cleaning brush 2 are described below for the face washing using the foaming device configured as described above. explain. First, the brush body 20 is connected to the drive shaft 39, an appropriate amount of cream-like cleansing agent is attached to the holding recess 78, and the main body case 21 is attached to the holder 3 as shown in FIG. The body 20 is impregnated with an appropriate amount of water or hot water. At this time, by measuring water or hot water with the measuring container 85 (decorative cover 80), the brush body 20 can contain water or hot water for the cleaning agent without excess or deficiency. The metering container 85 (decorative cover 80) after the water supply is stored and stored in the cover storage unit 18 with its opening surface facing upward. In a state where the main body case 21 is mounted on the holder 3, the motor 28 is located at a position offset from the central axis Q of the main body case 21 toward the shoulder 34. Therefore, the center of gravity of the main body case 21 supported by the holder 3 is positioned on the side close to the holder bottom wall 8 so that the entire cleaning brush 2 can be supported in a stable state. In the case of the brush body 20 that does not include the holding recess 78, the cleaning agent may be attached to the brush tip 77 on the partial spherical surface.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the body case 21 attached to the holder 3 is positioned in an obliquely downward recumbent posture with its shoulder portion 34 received by the restricting portion 13. Therefore, the rotation center axis P of the brush body 20 is inclined downward from the outer peripheral side of the foam generating unit 4 toward the container center. Thus, in a state where the main body case 21 is mounted on the holder 3, most of the main body case 21 is held by the holder 3, and the center of gravity G of the cleaning brush 2 is closer to the bubble generating unit 4 than the protruding end of the holder 3. Therefore, the cleaning brush 2 attached to the holder 3 can be supported in a stable state by the holder 3. Further, in a state where the main body case 21 is in the stirring posture, the brush bundle 61 contacts the foaming portion F extending from the vessel bottom wall 15 to the vessel surrounding wall 16, and the tip thereof is elastically deformed by a certain amount. When the main switch 26 is turned on in this state, as shown in FIG. 12, the motor 28 is activated and the rotational power is decelerated by the transmission structure and then transmitted to the brush body 20. The motor 28 at this time is set to rotate at a low speed (5000 rpm), and maintains that state until one minute has elapsed since the motor 28 was started. When the low-speed rotation time reaches 1 minute, the motor 28 is increased in speed and rotated at a high speed (10000 rpm). Further, when 1 minute has passed since the transition to the high speed rotation mode, the motor 28 is stopped and the foaming mode is terminated. The drive shaft 39 and the brush body 20 are driven at a rotational speed of 150 rpm when the motor 28 is driven at a low speed, and the drive shaft 39 and the brush body 20 are driven at a rotational speed when the motor 28 is driven at a high speed. The number is 300 rpm.

  When the foaming mode ends, the main body case 21 is removed from the holder 3. At this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the grip free end side of the main body case 21 attached to the holder 3 protrudes largely obliquely backward from the protruding end of the holder 3, so that the main body with the protruding case portion as a clue. The case 21 can be easily removed from the holder 3. A large amount of generated foam is held in the brush bundle 61 of the brush body 20 in a state separated from the holder 3. In particular, the brush shaft portion 76 swells with a lot of bubbles, and moreover, bubbles having a fine texture are attached to the peripheral surfaces of the brush shaft portion 76 and the brush tip portion 77. Therefore, after separating the cleaning brush 2 from the holder 3, excess foam is squeezed at the opening edge of the peripheral wall 16 to adjust the outer shape of the brush body 20, and the foam held on the brush body 20 is removed from the face skin and skin. Can be applied directly to the surface. When the remaining amount of foam contained in the brush body 20 is reduced, the foam mass in the foam generating unit 4 is scooped with the brush body 20 and applied to the face skin such as the cheek, forehead, chin, and nose.

  When the main switch 26 is turned on again after the foaming mode ends, the control board mounted on the cleaning brush 2 starts the skin cleaning mode. In the skin cleaning mode, the vibration generating structure, that is, the first vibration motor 51 and the second vibration motor 52 are driven while the motor 28 is stopped. When the shaft peripheral surface of the brush body 20 of the brush body 20 (the peripheral side surface of the brush bundle 61) is applied to the skin to be cleaned and the main switch 26 is turned on, the first vibration motor 51 and the second vibration motor 52 are activated. Then, the main body case 21 and the brush body 20 vibrate in all circumferential directions including front and rear. As a result, sebum adhering to the facial skin, old keratin, or dirt and cosmetics entering the pores can be washed away without damaging the skin. When one minute has elapsed since the start of the skin cleaning mode, the skin cleaning mode is terminated, and the first vibration motor 51 and the second vibration motor 52 are stopped. Wash with part 76. Finally, the main body case 21 is reattached to the holder 3, the bubbles adhering to the face skin are washed away using water or hot water, and skin water is applied to the face skin with moisture removed. Finish face washing. At the time of washing, the facial skin can be massaged by the vibration action of the brush body 20, so that blood circulation can be promoted. If necessary, the skin cleaning mode can be forcibly terminated by operating the main switch 26 during the skin cleaning mode.

  In the skin cleaning mode of the present embodiment, the brush body 20 is vibrated with the vibration generating structure, but this is not always necessary. For example, the facial skin can be cleaned by rotating the brush body 20 again in the skin cleaning mode. In this case, the rotational speed of the brush body 20 is preferably rotationally driven at a rotational speed smaller than the rotational speed of the brush body 20 in the foaming mode to reduce irritation to the facial skin. The driving time of the brush body 20 in the skin cleaning mode is preferably about 1 minute. When it is necessary to perform skin cleaning in a state where a stronger stimulus is applied, the skin cleaning can be performed with the brush body 20 vibrated by the vibration generating structure and the brush body 20 being rotationally driven. In this embodiment, the skin cleaning mode is started by turning on the main switch 26, but this is not always necessary. For example, after the foaming mode is finished, when a certain time has elapsed, the mode automatically shifts to the skin cleaning mode, and the first vibration motor 51 and the second vibration motor 52 are activated to perform skin cleaning, and further, After a lapse of time, both the motors 51 and 52 can be stopped to automatically end the skin cleaning mode.

  When the face washing is completed, the brush body 20 and the foaming container 1 removed from the main body case 21 are washed with water, and the foam adhering to the foaming container 1 and the brush body 20 is washed away and drained. Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the joint body 64 of the brush body 20 is engaged with the brush support 10 of the holder 3, and the brush body 20 is fixed to the holder 3 with the brush bundle 61 facing downward. The brush bundle 61 is dried and stored in that state. In this embodiment, the decorative cover 80 accommodated in the cover accommodating portion 18 of the stand 5 is positioned below the brush body 20 that is suspended and supported by the brush support 10, and receives water drops falling from the brush bundle 61. It was made to serve also as the brush water receiver 101. As described above, when the brush water receiver 101 is provided below the brush body 20, it is possible to prevent water droplets dripping from the brush bundle 61 from being scattered around the stand 5. Further, the water accumulated in the decorative cover 80 can be easily discharged by removing the decorative cover 80 from the cover housing portion 18. The main body case 21 may be attached to the holder 3 or stored in a state separated from the foaming container 1.

  The outline of the method of using the foaming device at the time of washing the face is as described above. In the washing brush 2 according to the present invention, the brush body with the axial peripheral surface of the brush shaft portion 76 of the brush body 20 applied to the face skin. It is characterized in that cleaning and massage are performed by vibrating 20 in the entire circumferential direction including the front-rear direction. As described above, when the facial skin is washed by applying the axial peripheral surface of the brush shaft portion 76 to the facial skin, the facial skin can be washed while preventing the facial skin from being rubbed with the brush. It does not damage the face skin, such as redness or irritation. In addition, an experiment was carried out in which the flat brush tip of the disk-shaped brush bundle was applied to the face skin and the face skin was washed while the brush body was driven to rotate. It was confirmed that it was rubbed excessively and caused skin damage as described above. Also, in the process of cleaning the facial skin while rotating the brush body, it seems that the hair bundle located at the center of rotation of the disk-shaped brush bundle is pressed against the skin surface in a bar-like state. If the method of using the electric facial cleansing brush is inappropriate, it is expected that the skin damage is likely to occur.

  In the state where the cleaning brush 2 is operated in the foaming mode, the rotation center axis P of the brush body 20 is inclined downward as shown in FIG. 15 and the peripheral wall 16 with the tip of the brush bundle 61 facing the foaming part F The tip of the brush is elastically deformed upward in contact with the vessel bottom wall 15 at the same time. Further, on the vessel bottom wall 15 on the holder 3 side of the bubble generation unit 4, there is a bubble return wall 88 that slopes downward toward the foaming portion F continuously from the vessel bottom wall 15 in the range indicated by the arrow in FIG. 15. Is provided. Further, the brush body 20 that is in contact with the peripheral wall 16 and the bottom wall 15 facing the foaming portion F is held at the center of the left and right sides of the foam generating portion 4 and has a brush bundle 61 formed in a circular cross section. Is set to be smaller than the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the concavely curved vessel bottom wall 15, so that air is introduced between the right half circumferential surface of the brush bundle 61 and the vessel peripheral wall 16. A gap 89 is formed (see FIG. 16). As shown by an arrow S in FIG. 16, the brush body 20 in this state is foamed in a state in which pressure is applied to the brush bundle 61 by rotating in the clockwise direction when viewed from the side facing the foaming portion F. The element can be foamed, and the foam tip can be repeatedly stirred by causing the brush tip 77 and part of the brush shaft 76 to collide with the foaming rib 17.

  Specifically, the brush front end 77 faces the foaming portion F and successively passes over the adjacent foaming ribs 17 while elastically deforming, while the tip of the brush bundle 61 is greatly elastically deformed, and the foaming ribs 17 are The foam bundle can be more effectively foamed while applying a strong pressure to the foamed element by moving the brush bundle 61 every time it gets over. Furthermore, while the brush bundle 61 is elastically deformed, it is possible to generate a bubble mass while taking in the surrounding air. Therefore, compared with the foam production | generation part 4 which is not equipped with the foaming rib 17, the production | generation of a foam lump and the fragmentation of a foam can be performed more effectively. At this time, in the periphery of the brush on the right half side as viewed in FIG. 16, bubbles adhering to the brush bundle 61 are pressed against the foaming ribs 17, the peripheral wall 16 and the bottom wall 15 and shaken, and the air It is forcibly mixed. Further, in the vicinity of the brush on the left half side as viewed in FIG. 16, the generated foam mass is splashed around by the rotational force of the brush body 20 and received by the peripheral wall 16 facing the foaming portion F. Stopped and flows down along the wall 16 to the bottom wall 15. Thus, the vessel peripheral wall 16 on the left half side functions as the bubble flow lower wall 90.

  In the foaming mode, since the cross-sectional shape of the vessel bottom wall 15 facing the foaming portion F is formed by a curved surface having a concave curved surface, the peripheral surface of the brush bundle 61 in contact with the foaming portion F and the vessel bottom The air around the air introduction gap 89 formed between the wall 15 and the air can be wound into the foam bundle F by the brush bundle 61. That is, by providing the air introduction gap 89, the foam lump and air generated by the brush bundle 61 can be simultaneously taken in from the air introduction gap 89 and can be wound between the brush bundle 61 and the vessel bottom wall 15. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively perform the generation of the foam mass and the fragmentation of the foam.

  Furthermore, since the radius of the brush bundle 61 formed in a circular cross section is set to be smaller than the radius of curvature of the curved surface of the concave bottom wall 15, the peripheral wall 16, the left and right peripheral surfaces of the brush bundle 61, and A free space is formed between them, and air can be efficiently wound by the bunch of brushes 61 passing through the free space. Can be produced.

  As the amount of foam generated increases, a part of the foam flows toward the bubble reflux wall 88 through the air introduction gap 89 on the right half side toward FIG. However, since the entire vessel bottom wall 15 including the bubble return wall 88 is inclined downward toward the foaming portion F, the bubble lump positioned between the brush body 20 and the bubble return wall 88 is the brush bundle 61. It flows toward the tip of the brush and is stirred again by the brush bundle 61. In this way, by repeatedly stirring the foam block with the brush bundle 61 while generating the foam, it is possible to efficiently generate a foam block having a small foam diameter and a fine texture. Therefore, compared to conventional foam generators that rotate and rotate the rotating brush at a constant speed, the foam generation and the bubble diameter are effectively reduced, and the mousse-like foam mass is more efficient. Can be generated well.

  As described above, the motor 28 is rotated at a low speed in the first half of the foaming mode, and the motor 28 is rotated at a high speed in the second half of the foaming mode. As described above, when the motor 28 is rotated at a low speed, the cleaning agent adhered to the holding recess 78 of the brush bundle 61 and the water contained in the brush shaft portion 76 are well blended, and the cleaning agent and water are brought into contact with the brush shaft. The bubbles can be generated evenly by being uniformly included in the portion 76 and the brush tip portion 77. Further, by rotating the motor 28 at a high speed, more air can be taken in, so that a bubble mass can be generated effectively. Furthermore, a foam lump can be repeatedly stirred with the brush bundle 61, the bubble diameter of the produced | generated foam can be made small, and the texture can be made fine.

  In the first embodiment, the main switch 26 is turned on in the foaming mode to rotate the brush body 20 at a low speed and a high speed to perform foaming. The timer detects that a predetermined time has elapsed, and performs foaming. The mode is ended, and the main switch 26 is turned on again to shift to the skin cleaning mode to operate the vibration generating structure, but this is not necessary. For example, when the user turns on the main switch 26 to rotate the brush body 20 at a constant speed to enter the foaming mode, the user visually confirms the foaming condition and determines that a sufficient amount of foam has been generated. Then, the cleaning brush 2 is removed from the holder 3 and the brush body 20 is rotationally driven, the peripheral surface of the brush bundle 61 is applied to the face skin, and foam lump application and skin cleaning are performed in parallel. Can do. In that case, the timer and the vibration generating structure can be omitted. When it is determined that a sufficient amount of foam has been generated, the user operates the main switch 26 to stop the motor 28. In this state, the cleaning brush 2 is removed from the holder 3, and the foam is removed from the facial skin. Can be applied to. After applying the foam mass, the main switch 26 may be operated again to clean the facial skin with the motor 28 or the vibration generating structure activated.
