It is equipped with a spray device 6 that sucks water from the hood 2 and sprays it onto the face A using a nozzle 5 protruding inside the hood 2 to clean the face. The present invention relates to a facial beauty device characterized in that a nozzle 5 protruding from the opening 1 is arranged to be shifted toward one side edge of the opening 1.

The object of the present invention is to attach the face A to the hood.
The facial beauty device has a clear contact position so that the forehead side can be placed naturally in a high position and the chin side in a low position, and the spray shower does not enter directly into the nostrils, making it comfortable to use. It is on offer.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. In FIGS. 1 to 6, 7 is a main body case, and a main body bottom plate 8 is provided on the lower surface of the main body bottom plate 8. A suction port 8a is formed in the main body bottom plate 8. The main body case 7 includes a spray device 6 for spraying onto the face A, a water tank 4, a steam generator 10, and the like. Further, an operating handle 11 is rotatably attached to the side surface of the main body case 7, and a nozzle stand 13 that supports the swinging spray mechanism 12 is provided protruding from the upper surface of the main body case 7. The lower part of the nozzle stand 13 is a cylindrical body part 58. Further, a hood 2 having an opening 1 for inserting the face is mounted on the upper surface of the main body case 7. Here, an annular fitting part 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the lower surface of the hood 2, and this fitting part 14
The hood 2 is attached to the upper surface of the main body case 7 by fitting into the annular fitting portion 15 on the outer periphery of the upper surface of the main body case 7. A cylindrical portion 16 is provided on the bottom of the hood 2 and protrudes upward slightly toward the front, and the cylindrical body portion 58 of the nozzle stand 13 that protrudes from the top surface of the main body case 7 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 16 to form a nozzle. The stand 13 protrudes upward from the cylindrical portion 16. The hood 2 is composed of a hood body 17 and a hood cover 18. The hood body 17 is made of transparent plastic (acrylic resin, ABS resin, etc.)
The hood body 17 has a substantially circular bowl shape, and the bottom of the hood body 17 stores water spouted from the nozzle 5. The hood cover 18 is shaped like a bowl lid and is placed on the L-shaped step edge 19 at the upper opening edge of the hood body 17. In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes an air vent hole through which air circulates between the inside of the hood 2 and the outside when the face A is placed against the face insertion opening 1 of the hood cover 18. An opening 1 for inserting the face provided on the upper surface of the hood cover 18 is slightly inclined so that it becomes higher toward one side, so that the face A can be placed against the opening 1 in a comfortable posture. The edge of the opening 1 is curled inward, and the edge of the opening 1 is preferably made of a material that is slightly soft and comfortable to touch the skin (for example, silicone resin) in order to place the face A on it. In this case, the entire hood cover 18 may be made of a soft resin, or only the edge of the opening 1 may be made of a soft material. Here nozzle stand 13
is provided with a nozzle 5, which is placed slightly forward of the center of the hood 2,
It is located on the taller side of the opening 1, which is closer to one edge side (that is, the side where the forehead rests). By arranging the nozzle 5 off to one side edge of the opening 1 in this way, when the face A is placed against the opening 1, the spray shower ejected from the nozzle 5 is prevented from directly entering the nostrils of the face A. It is set as. The nozzle stand 13 has a substantially rectangular shape, and the nozzles 5 are swingably mounted on both sides of the upper part of the nozzle stand 13 while being supported by nozzle holders 21 . As shown in FIG. 11, the distance L between these two nozzles 5 is longer than the width l of the face insertion opening 1 located above them. As will be described later, this has the effect of making it difficult for water to splash outward from the gap between the face A and the opening 1 when the face A is placed against the opening 1. Further, the center lines 0 of the jets from these two nozzles 5 are inclined inward as shown in FIG. 10, and strike the surface of the face A almost perpendicularly. The spray pattern ejected from the nozzle 5 has an oval or horizontally elongated line shape as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, and is moved back and forth so as to hit the entire face A. In FIG. 3, nozzle holders 21 are exposed at the left and right ends of the nozzle stand 13. Here, swing bearings 22 are integrally provided at both ends of the nozzle stand 13 (or a separate part may be fixed using screws, etc.), and the nozzle base 13 is swingably supported by the swing bearings 22 on both sides. A connecting pipe 23 is installed in the connecting pipe 23 as shown in FIG.
Pressurized water is supplied from the nozzle holders 2 provided at both ends of the connecting pipe 23.
Pressurized water in the connecting pipe 23 is supplied to the nozzle 5 held at the connecting pipe 23. 26 in the diagram
are steam jet ports, which are provided on the front and rear surfaces of the upper part of the nozzle stand 13. A swing gear 27 on the driven side is fixed to the connecting pipe 23. A rocking gear 28 on the drive side is attached to a position facing the rocking gear 27, a rocking lever 30 is provided on a shaft 29 to which the operating handle 11 is attached, and a rocking gear 28 on the driving side
8 are connected by a swing link rod 31. The swing link rod 31 is swingably attached by link pins 32 and 33. Attached to the shaft 29 are a switch cam 34 and a return lever 35, which are moved continuously by the swinging motion of the operating handle 11. A micro switch 36 is fixed at a position facing the switch cam 34, and the rotation of the switch cam 34 turns the micro switch 36 on and off, thereby turning on and off a motor 37, which will be described later. One end of a return spring 38 is attached to the return lever 35, and the other end of the return spring 38 is attached to a return spring fixing pin 39 fixed to the main body case 7. The spray device 6 is composed of a pump 25 like a gear pump and a motor 37. The motor 37 drives the pump 2 like a gear pump.
Pressurized water for a spray shower is generated by rotationally driving 5, and the drive is controlled by a micro switch 36 which is turned on and off by a switch cam 34. pump 25
The discharge port is connected to the hose connection port of the aforementioned swing pipe joint 24 by a discharge pipe 40 made of a pressure-resistant rubber hose or a pressure-resistant plastic hose. One end of a suction pipe 41 such as a rubber hose or a plastic hose is connected to the suction port of the pump 25, and the suction pipe 41 has a cheese 54 in the middle as shown in FIG. It is connected to the drain port 43 of. The water tank mounting part 42 is composed of a large-diameter cylinder part 44, a medium-diameter cylinder part 45, and a drain port 43. A ring body 48 having a filter 46 and a push-up rod 47 is fitted into the medium-diameter cylinder part 45. It's crowded. A water injection part 50 is screwed into the cylindrical opening 49 of the water tank 4, and a valve 51 is installed inside the water injection part 50 so as to be able to move up and down.
1 is now open. 91 in the figure is valve 5
1 is a fall prevention part that prevents water from falling, and is provided in the water injection part 50. In addition, if necessary, a spring 53 is provided, and the spring 53 always closes the valve 51.
You may also leave it closed. However, by turning the water tank 4 upside down and attaching the water injection part 60 to the water tank mounting part 4,
By removably fitting the valve 5 into the large-diameter cylindrical portion 44 of the valve 5, the push-up rod 47 pushes the contact portion 52.
1 is set to be open. In the figure, 10 is a steam generator. This steam generator 10 has the following structure. That is, the lower cylindrical portion 56 of the steam generation water tank 55 is connected to the cheese 54.
An ultrasonic humidifying unit 57 is provided at the bottom of this water tank 55 for steam generation, and a nozzle stand 1 is provided at the top of the ultrasonic humidifying unit 57.
The lower part of the cylindrical body part 58 at the lower part of No. 3 is attached watertightly, and by generating ultrasonic waves by the ultrasonic humidifying unit 57, the water surface rises in a spiral shape and mist is generated. It's getting old. On the other hand, numeral 59 in the figure is a fan rotated by a fan motor 60, and the air generated by the fan 59 is sent to a hot air duct 62 and a cold air duct 63 in which a heater 61 is installed. There is. The hot air passage 62 communicates with the side of the cylindrical body part 58, and the cold air passage 63 opens downward in line with the lower opening of the cylindrical body part 58. In the figure, reference numeral 64 denotes a steam separation plate, which hangs down from the center of the upper end surface of the cylindrical body 58 to approximately the center of the cylindrical body 58, and divides the cylindrical body 58 into two on both sides. One side is a warm steam passage 67, the other side is a white mist passage 68, and both sides of the upper end of the cylindrical body part 58 are steam outlets 26, one side is a warm steam outlet 65, and the other is a white mist outlet. 6
6. In the figure, 69 is a guide plate, which guides warm air to the warm steam passage 67. In the figure, 70 is a condensed water drainage opening through which condensed water flows into the steam generating water tank 55. 71 in the figure is a power cord;
2 is a cord reel portion of the power cord 71.

Next, the effect will be explained. In use, first fill the water tank 4 with clean water, turn it upside down, fit the water injection part 50 into the large diameter cylindrical part 44 and set it, and supply water. Insert the power cord 71 into the outlet, and in this state place the face A against the hood cover 18 of the hood 2 as shown in FIG. Next, when the operating handle 11 is grasped with a finger and turned, the switch cam 34 shown in FIG. 3 is rotated. Then, Figure 9a
The push button 74 of the micro switch 36, which was in contact with the protrusion 73 of the switch cam 34, falls from the protrusion 73 and becomes as shown in FIG. 57 is turned on, the pump 25, the fan 59, and the ultrasonic humidifying unit 57 are operated, and the heater 61 is heated. When the pump 25 operates here, water in the water tank 4 is sucked up through the suction pipe 41 and pressurized water is sent to the discharge pipe 40. Pressurized water from the discharge pipe 40 is guided into the connecting pipe 23 by the swing pipe joint 24, flows left and right inside the connecting pipe 23, passes through the nozzle holders 21 on both sides, and is injected from the nozzles 5 on both sides. One side operation handle 1
1, the swinging lever 30 rotates steadily and lifts the swinging link rod 31. The movement of this swinging link rod 31 is transmitted as rotational torque to the swinging gear 28 on the driving side via the link pin 32, and the rotation of the swinging gear 28 on the driving side is caused by the swinging of the driven side that meshes with the swinging gear 28 on the driving side. This is transmitted to the gear 27 to rotate the connecting pipe 23 and rotate the nozzle 5. By this operation, the spray shower ejected from the left and right nozzles 5 moves back and forth in the space formed by the hood body 17 and the hood cover 18. Therefore, when the face A is placed against the opening edge of the hood cover 18, the spray shower washes the face A up and down by rotating the operating handle 11. Here, the nozzle 5 is normally in a position where it sprays toward the rear and lower part of the hood 2 (the position indicated by A in FIG. 6), and when the operating handle 11 is rotated, the nozzle 5 moves in the direction B in FIG. 3. , the micro switch 36 is activated and the injection begins. However, the spray direction B at the start of spraying is still at a position where the spray shower does not fly out from the opening 1 of the hood 2. When the operating handle 11 is further rotated, the spray shower starts hitting the face A from the lower part (chin), and as the operating handle 11 is rotated, it gradually moves from the nose to the forehead, and rotates to the position shown in Figure 6 C. . At this position, the operating handle 11 comes into contact with the stopper 89 and stops. (The stopper 89 will be described in detail later.) Next, the operating handle 1
When 1 is rotated in the opposite direction, the spray shower moves in the opposite direction. The above operation is repeated several times. By the way, in the present invention, the return lever 35 is provided on the operation handle 11, and one end of the return spring 38 is attached to this, so that when the operation handle 11 is rotated in the forward direction, the return lever 35 is also rotated, and the return spring 35 is rotated. 38, and when the operating handle 11 is rotated in the opposite direction, the spring energy stored in the return spring 38 automatically returns the nozzle 5 to the original position and stops. (At this time, the microswitch 36 is turned off.) On the other hand, steam is generated as follows. That is, when the micro switch 36 is turned on, the fan motor 60, heater 61, and ultrasonic humidification unit 57 are also energized. Therefore, ultrasonic waves are generated by the ultrasonic humidifying unit 57, the water surface rises in a spiral shape, and mist is generated. In this case Juan 59
A part of the air generated by this is sent to the cold air blowing passage 63, becomes an upward flow from the lower opening of the cylindrical body part 58, enters the cylindrical body part 58, and enters the white mist passage 6.
8 and is spouted into the hood 2 from the white mist spout 66. In this case, the mist condenses in the white mist passage 68 and becomes white, and is ejected from the white mist outlet 66 in a white mist state. On the other hand, the other part of the air generated by the fan 59 is sent to a hot air blowing passage 62, heated by a heater 61, passes through a warm steam passage 67, and produces warm mist into the hood 2 through a warm steam outlet 65. It makes it erupt. The reason why the white mist is ejected here is so that the inside of the hood 2 becomes white mist-like and the user can confirm that the mist is ejected. By the way, in order to generate a white mist, it is possible to not provide the steam separation plate 64, but in this case, the mist will come in contact with warm air and condensation will be intense, so a large amount of mist must be generated, and the ultrasonic wave The humidifying unit 57, steam generating water tank 55, etc. must be made large, and in order to solve this problem, a steam separation plate 64 is provided.

By the way, the nozzle 5 is configured to locally spray the face A as described above, and by sequentially rotating the nozzle 5 to spray the entire face A, the face A can be sprayed with even a small amount of water. By spraying locally and intensively, a powerful facial pine surge effect can be obtained. Since this powerful spray shower is moved sequentially, unlike the type of spray shower that sprays the entire face A at the same time, even if the face A is placed inside the hood 2, the person will not feel breathless.
(If you spray the entire face A at the same time, you will have to hold your breath for the entire time and it will feel like submerging your face underwater while swimming.) Also, in order to strengthen the facial cleansing pine surge effect, a powerful spray shower is required. However, since it is designed to spray locally on the face, the pump can also be used as a powerful spray shower.
The motor etc. can be downsized and the overall weight can be reduced. Here, the pattern of the spray shower ejected from the nozzle 5 is a so-called flat spray pattern, which is long in the width direction of the face A and narrow in the vertical direction of the face A within the space of the hood 2 that is used in contact with the face A. By sequentially moving the ejection direction of the nozzle 5 in the vertical direction of the face A to perform facial cleansing, the operation handle 11 can be adjusted at the eye position and nose area.
Rotate quickly to avoid eye irritation.
This prevents breathing difficulties caused by the spray shower hitting your nose, and since the facial cleansing spray is applied to only a few areas, you can feel the location on your skin, and by rotating the operating handle 11, you can place the spray shower at the desired position. This means that the position of can be moved. The start position of the spray shower is set as shown in FIG. By sequentially moving from the chin to the forehead side, the spray shower does not suddenly hit the center of the face. In other words, if the user puts the face A inside the hood 2 and the spray shower suddenly hits the center of the face, the user will get nervous, and even though it is originally desirable to perform beauty treatments in a calm state, When using the device, you will have to operate it carefully, but by using the method of the present invention, you will not have to worry about this and will be able to make a soft start with peace of mind. By providing a return spring 38 at this time, when you release your hand from the operating handle 11, the spring force will return the nozzle 5 to its original position (starting position), causing the spray shower to accidentally fly out of the hood 2 and surrounding the surrounding area. The desk, tatami mats, etc. will not get wet, and since the operation handle 11 is always returned to the starting position when starting use, the spray shower will hit the face A as soon as the power cord 71 is plugged into the outlet. This prevents the user from getting nervous due to the spray shower hitting the face A immediately after turning on the switch.
Furthermore, a switch cam 34 is provided on the operating handle 11 or a part that rotates in conjunction with the operating handle 11, and the rotating movement of the operating handle 11 causes the switch cam 34 to turn on and off a switch such as a micro switch, thereby turning the pump 25 on and off. By adopting this structure, there is no difference between the movement of the nozzle 5 and the operation of the electric switch, and the user only needs to make one action (rotating the operation handle 11), making it easier to use. Water for use can be pumped up only when necessary (when the nozzle 5 is directed toward the face A), so water can be used effectively, and only a relatively small water tank 4 needs to be built in. Furthermore, two or more nozzles 5 are provided on the side slightly closer to the outer circumferential wall of the hood 2, and the spray direction is directed toward the center of the hood 2 (the face A is placed in the opening 1 of the hood cover 18) as shown in FIG. If you make it face toward the center of your head when it touches you,
The spray shower is applied to the face A as shown in Figure 10.
This means that the spray shower can be applied to the convex face A with a small pump efficiently. In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the width L between the plurality of nozzles 5 is
is set to be longer than the width l of the opening 1 of the hood cover 18, and the nozzle 5 is positioned outward from the side edge of the opening 1, so that the edge of the opening 1 of the hood cover 17 and the face A are This makes it possible to prevent the spray shower from popping out through the gap between the opening 1 and the opening 1 (a gap is created depending on the shape and size of the face when the face A is applied to the opening 1).

Next, one embodiment of the nozzle 5 used in the present invention will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 12, the nozzle 5 is provided with a stepped surface 75 at the top.
A concave part 77 is provided on the side surface of the convex part 76 that protrudes inward, and a spout hole 79 is opened at the bottom surface 78 of the concave part 77. It is starting to gush outside. If the portion of the concave portion 77 that the water collides with is made spherical, the spray shower will be arc-shaped as shown in FIG.
If the portion of the concave portion 77 that the water collides with is formed into an inclined flat surface as shown in the figure, the spray shower will be linear as shown in FIG. 14. Note that if the spray shower is arcuate, it will have a slight width h as shown in FIG. By the way, by using the impingement type nozzle 5 instead of ejecting directly to the outside from the ejection hole 79, the water flow direction inside the nozzle 5 and the ejection direction are not in a straight line, and as a result, the nozzle 5 is affected by water pressure. If the nozzle 5 accidentally comes off, the nozzle 5 will not fly out in the jetting direction and will be less likely to hit the face, improving safety.
If the concave portion 77 is formed into a spherical shape, the spray shower will have an arcuate shape and the irritation to the face A will be reduced compared to a straight spray shower. By the way, the nozzle 5 is attached in the following manner, for example. A nozzle holder 21 is attached to both ends of the connecting pipe 23, a cap attachment part 81 having a nozzle fitting hole 80 opening upward is provided in the nozzle holder 21, and a locking groove 82 is provided in the protruding base of the cap attachment part 81.
, fit the lower part of the nozzle 5 into the nozzle fitting hole 80 , fit the cap 83 into the cap attachment part 81 from the side, and insert the edge of the large diameter part 85 of the split groove 84 in the upper part of the cap 83 into the center part of the nozzle 5 . The nozzle 5 is attached by elastically fitting into the locking annular recess 86 and elastically locking the engagement protrusion 87 at the tip of the edge of the split groove 84 into the locking groove 82 . In the figure, it is a 92O ring. Here, the attachment/detachment direction of the nozzle 5 is the C direction in FIG. 16, and the spray shower direction from the nozzle 5 is the D direction in FIG. Even if it jumps out, the possibility of hitting the straight face A is reduced, and the nozzle 5 can be easily changed by simply removing the cap 83.

In the figure, 88 is a push button switch for draining water.
As shown in Figure 7, press the push button switch 88 for draining water.
This circuit is provided in parallel with a switch circuit such as the microswitch 36 described above. By the way, when you finish using the facial beauty device and want to pump out the remaining water in the water tank 4 and drain it, if you use the spray switch, even if the water in the water tank 4 runs out, the switch will remain on and the device will run dry. If the condition continues, there is a risk of failure such as pump seizure, but the 17th
As shown in the figure, if a push button switch 88 for draining is provided in parallel with the circuit of the micro switch 36 for operating the pump 25, the push button switch 88 for draining must be kept pressed with a finger to drain water. As a result, dry running can be prevented. Further, when the swing position of the nozzle 5 is related to the on/off position of a switch such as a micro switch as in the present invention, when the operation handle 11 is rotated to drain water using a switch such as the micro switch 36. The water jetted from the nozzle 5 will come out from the opening 1 of the hood 2, but operate the drain push button switch 88 with the nozzle 5 facing downward (in the direction of jetting water into the hood 2). This allows for drainage.

Note that when the operation handle 11 is rotated, the nozzle 5
The rotation angle of the operating handle 11 is regulated so that it rotates only within the range from A to C in Figure 6.The mechanism for this regulation is, for example, as shown in Figure 18, on the back side of the operating handle 11. Two abutting portions 90 are provided in the main body case 7, and a stopper 89 is provided on the main body case 7 so that the abutting portions 90 abut against the stopper 89 at the position A in FIG. 6 and the position C in FIG. 6. Of course, there are two stoppers 89, and a contact part 90.
You may provide one.

Next, the effects of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, as described above, the opening for inserting the face is inclined so as to be higher on one side, and the nozzle protruding into the hood is arranged offset to the edge of one side of the opening. The position of the face in contact with the hood becomes clear, allowing the forehead side to be placed naturally in a high position and the mandible side in a low position.Also, the direction of the spray shower ejected from the nozzle is aligned with the nostrils. The spray shower does not match the opening direction, and the spray shower hits from above the nose, preventing the spray shower from directly entering the nostrils, making it comfortable without the discomfort caused by the spray shower directly entering the nostrils. Facial pine surgery is possible. Moreover, the nozzle's swing start point is set at the lower end of the hood, and the nozzle can swing freely from the lower end of the hood to the higher end. It is possible to start spraying from the side, preventing the sudden flow of water caused by suddenly spraying into the eyes and nose at the beginning of spraying, and moreover, it is possible to spray from the higher forehead to the lower eyes and nose at the beginning of spraying. There are advantages in that flow can be avoided, discomfort can be reduced, and usability can be further improved.
