Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a suction cleaner for skin configured to remove fats, wastes, cosmetic debris clogged in skin pores by a vacuum suction force. In addition, the present invention relates to a device which gives a responsive suction force to the skin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In order to keep the bare skin beautiful, it is necessary not only to remove aged keratin, but also to stimulate metabolism to constantly regenerate a new keratin layer, and to remove factors that inhibit natural sebum secretion. In particular, the sebum secreted from the sebum line through the skin pores onto the epidermis originally protects the bare skin,
It is also a natural oil given by nature to keep it beautiful, and it fits better on the skin than any artificial nourishing cream, thus giving the bare skin a shine.

By the way, in the surface cleansing method using a general facial cleanser, not only fats, wastes, dirt or fine dusts clogged in skin pores cannot be completely removed, but also sebum circulated on the epidermis is washed away. Will end up. Although such a surface cleansing method can make the skin temporarily clean, it cannot remove the waste products clogged in the pores, which is the most important factor that inhibits the natural secretion of sebum. Not only that, but also sebum that circulates on the epidermis is washed away, so from the viewpoint of maintaining the natural beauty of the bare skin, this is a reverse method.

[0004] When the pores are clogged with waste products, the secretion of sebum is inhibited and the sebum is not circulated to the epidermis, and even respiration is impaired, which leads to a decrease in metabolic function and acne and acne. It also causes breakouts and is extremely inconvenient for bare skin.

Therefore, in so-called aesthetic salons, the vacuum suction force is used to remove the waste products clogged in the skin pores and the like, and at the same time, the skin is appropriately stimulated to function as a metabolic function. The suction facial method that encourages is performed. In addition, suction-type facial devices for performing this at home are commercially available.

By the way, all of the above-mentioned commercially available facial treatment devices are of the electric type, and a simple pump is driven by a motor to generate a negative pressure, which is attached to the hose or the tip thereof. It is designed to act on the epidermis such as the face through the suction cap.

[0007]

However, the above-mentioned conventional commercially available facial device is of the electric type, and therefore has the following problems. First, it cannot be used safely wherever water is used. For example, the face is usually washed in the bathroom or bathroom, but it is not recommended to use an electric facial device in such a place because of the risk of electric shock. On the other hand, it is better and more convenient for the suction cap to slip on the skin when the face is moisturized when washing or bathing, and the blood circulation of the skin is especially promoted during bathing, resulting in skin pores. Because it opens, it makes sense to apply the suction facial treatment at such times. Conventional electric facial devices cannot be used in this way.
Also, it is possible to apply a waterproof seal to the electric facial beauty device, but it is impossible to guarantee the sealing performance for a long time, and it is expected that the entire equipment will be very expensive. .

Secondly, since an electric mechanism etc. is built in the inside, it is not possible to easily clean the wastes etc. that have been removed from the skin and accumulated in the suction cap, and it is not possible to wash the whole thing. Over time, the whole instrument becomes dirty.

On the other hand, at the time of filing of the present application (at the time of filing of the original application), there is nothing commercially available, but a negative pressure is generated by utilizing a water flow, and the negative pressure causes the above facial treatment method. The idea of giving it has been conceived long ago. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 8-15799 discloses a "water pump facial treatment device". This water flow pump facial device utilizes the fact that the static pressure of the inner wall of the water flow channel decreases when water is poured into the flow channel, and this reduced static pressure is guided to the suction cap via a hose, and this suction cap is used. The negative pressure is applied to the skin by pressing the opening portion of the skin against the skin to remove the waste products accumulated in the skin pores as described above.

However, in the "water flow pump facial device" disclosed in the above publication, the suction cap is connected from the site where the negative pressure should be generated through the hose, so that the negative pressure generating section is formed. There is a problem in that the suction force generated in step S cannot be applied to the skin surrounded by the suction cap with good responsiveness. That is, since a predetermined amount of air is present between the negative pressure generating portion and the suction cap, the pressure acting on the skin surrounded by the suction cap as a result of a certain portion of this air being sucked by the negative pressure generating portion. It takes time to reach the desired pressure, especially if the hose is flexible.

The present invention has been conceived under the circumstances as described above, and utilizes the flow of water from a running water source such as a tap without using electricity in a bathroom or a bathroom. It is easy to clean and can be used in a clean state for a long time, and it is compact in size, and it effectively applies negative pressure with good responsiveness to the skin. It is an object of the present invention to provide a suction cleaner for skin which is configured to be capable of performing the action of negative pressure and releasing it conveniently.

[0012]

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, the skin suction type cleaner of the present invention has a running water channel having one end communicating with a running water source via a hose and a drain port at the other end, and a suction path communicating with an intermediate portion of the running water channel. The negative pressure generating portion including, while the housing is housed so that the end of the suction passage faces the appropriate portion of the outer surface of the housing in a grip-shaped housing that is easy for the user to grip, at the end of the suction passage, While a suction cap capable of pressing an end opening so as to surround a certain range of the skin is detachably connected, the outer surface of the housing can be closed by a user's finger holding the housing and It is characterized in that a suction force releasing pipe communicating with the suction passage is exposed.

[0013]

When the water guided from the flowing water source is caused to flow through the hose to the flowing water channel of the negative pressure generating portion, the static pressure in the dynamic pressure dividing water channel decreases. Since the drainage port of the running water channel is open to the atmosphere, the above static pressure is surely a negative pressure. And, since the middle part of the running water channel communicates with the suction cap through the suction passage, when the terminal opening of this suction cap is pressed against a desired site on the skin, the negative pressure on the surface of the skin, That is, suction force can be applied.

For example, in the bathroom, when blood circulation is promoted during bathing or immediately after bathing and the suction force is applied to the skin with open pores as described above, waste products clogged in the pores, etc. Is quickly sucked out. Then, applying suction force to the skin also serves as a massage for the skin, which can further promote blood circulation and metabolic functions of the skin.

As described above, the skin suction cleaner according to the present invention utilizes only the static pressure reduction due to the fluid flow in the conduit and does not use the power of the motor or the like at all.
It can be used easily and safely in the bathroom or bathroom. Then, since it will be used in a place with a water supply, it is very convenient to apply a suction facial treatment when washing the face. Especially, it is very convenient to apply the suction facial treatment after taking a bath in the bathroom.

Further, in the suction cleaner of the present invention, the above negative pressure generating portion is incorporated in a grip-shaped housing which is shaped to be easily gripped by the user, and the negative pressure generating portion incorporated in this housing is The suction passage communicating with the flowing water passage and the suction cap supported by the appropriate portion on the outer surface of the grip-shaped housing are connected by an extremely short suction passage. Therefore, the desired suction force can be applied to the certain area of the skin surrounded by the suction cap with extremely high responsiveness, the efficiency in applying the facial treatment is further increased, and the suction force is applied and By repeating the release, the massage effect given to the skin is further enhanced.

In addition, in the suction type cleaner of the present invention, since the suction force releasing tube which can be closed by the finger of the user who holds the housing is exposed on the outer surface of the housing, while holding the housing, For example, the suction force releasing tube can be closed or opened by moving the thumb or the index finger. Therefore, in combination with the housing having a shape that can be easily grasped by the user, it is effective that the suction cap is repeatedly applied and released while the suction cap is slid back and forth with respect to the skin. You can perform facials very well and often. And, since it has a simple structure and does not have any built-in electrical mechanical parts, it is unlikely to cause a failure and can withstand long-term use.
It is possible to wash the whole thing and keep the equipment clean at all times.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. As is clear from FIG. 1, the suction cleaner 1 for skin of the present invention has a negative pressure generating section 3 for generating a negative pressure due to running water inside a grip-shaped housing 2 having a shape that is easily gripped by a user. Has been done.
The negative pressure generating portion 3 has a cylindrical outer case having a cylindrical portion 4a having a predetermined length in the up-down direction and having a closed upper end, and a diameter-reducing portion 4b having a tapered diameter from the lower end of the cylindrical portion 4a. Four
And a water guiding pipe 5 that enters the inside of the tubular outer case from the side surface near the upper end of the cylindrical portion 4a and extends downward along the axis of the tubular outer case 4 so that the tip thereof is near the reduced diameter portion. It is generally configured with. The end portion of the water conduit 5 is L downward in the grip-shaped housing 2.
It is bent in a letter shape and reaches the bottom surface of the grip-shaped housing 2. A hose 7 whose one end is connected to a running water source 6 such as tap water is connected to the water conduit 5 in the grip-shaped housing 2.

On the other hand, the lower end of the cylindrical outer case 4 of the negative pressure generating portion 3 extends to the bottom surface of the grip-shaped housing 2 through a suitable pipe 8, and this pipe 8 is a suitable drainage hose. 9 are connected.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, the negative pressure generator 3 is
It has a double pipe structure of a cylindrical outer case 4 and a water guiding pipe introduced therein, and is formed by an inner peripheral surface of these cylindrical outer case 4 and an outer peripheral surface of the water guiding pipe 5. The tubular space 10 has a flowing water passage 11 extending from the water pipe 5 to the pipe 8.
Will be connected to. Further, in the tubular outer case 4 of the negative pressure generating portion 3, a suction pipe 12 whose distal end faces the front head portion 2a of the grip-shaped housing 2 is extended and formed, while on the back surface of the grip-shaped housing 2. A suction force releasing tube 13 is formed so as to extend so that its tip is exposed at a position convenient for closing it with a user's finger gripping the housing 2, for example, an index finger.

The inside of the suction pipe 12 is connected to the tubular space 10 or the flowing water passage 11 as a suction passage, and the inside of the suction force releasing pipe 13 is also connected to the tubular space 10 or the flowing water passage 11. Can be communicated. Therefore, the suction force release pipe 13 is substantially communicated with the suction passage, and by closing and opening the suction force release pipe 13, the negative pressure in the suction passage is substantially turned on and off. be able to. A suction cap 14 is detachably attached to the end of the suction pipe 12. The suction cap 14 includes a cap 14a that expands like a trumpet, and a tapered insertion tube 14b that extends from the base end of the cap portion 14a and can be inserted into the suction tube 12. . As shown in FIG. 2, the water conduit 5 introduced inside the negative pressure generating portion.
The diameter near the end of the taper is tapered.

In the above structure, when the water from the running water source is made to flow into the running water channel 11 through the water guiding pipe 5, the diameter of the water guiding pipe 5 is reduced at the lower end thereof in the shape of a taper. The velocity of running water at the lower end of 5 is the highest.
On the other hand, since the end of the drainage hose 9 is open to the atmosphere, the static pressure on the flow surface is reduced by the dynamic pressure of the flowing water due to the increased flow velocity at the lower end of the water conduit 5. This reduced static pressure, that is, negative pressure, is transmitted to the internal space of the suction cap 14 via the annular space 10 and the suction pipe 12.

To use the suction suction cleaner for skin of this embodiment, the user holds the grip-shaped housing 2 while
For example, while moving only the index finger to block the end opening of the suction release tube 13 thereby, the suction cap 14
Press the end opening of the to the skin. Then, on the surface of the skin surrounded by the suction cap 14, the negative pressure generating portion 3
The above-mentioned suction force generated by
This suction force effectively sucks out waste products, makeup dust, fine dust, and the like that are clogged in the skin pores.

On the other hand, in order to release the suction force acting on the skin as described above, it is only necessary to release the finger which has blocked the suction force releasing tube 13. By doing so, the negative pressure is released from the suction force releasing tube 13 to the atmosphere, so that the negative pressure does not occur in the suction cap 14, and the suction cap 14 that has been brought into close contact with the skin can be easily separated from the skin. You can When the tap water is used as the source of the running water, the suction force can be adjusted to a desired size by twisting the currant of the tap water to adjust the flow rate steplessly.

Further, the suction cleaner 1 for skin of the present invention
Incorporates the negative pressure generating portion 3 inside the grip-shaped housing 2 and connects the suction cap 14 to the suction pipe 12 extending from the negative pressure generating portion 3, so that the negative pressure generating portion 3 sucks the suction cap 14 The distance to the end opening of
Therefore, the time from when the suction force releasing tube 13 is blocked with a finger until a predetermined suction force is actually applied to the surface of the skin surrounded by the suction cap 14 is shortened, and a responsive suction facial treatment method is performed. You can Then, the suction release pipe 13
It is possible to effectively achieve this even when a massage effect is given to the skin by repeatedly applying intermittent suction force to the skin by closing or opening the.

Further, since the suction cap 14 can be detachably attached to the negative pressure generating portion 3, a plurality of suction caps having different end openings are prepared in advance. In accordance with the part of the skin to be sucked, the suction facial treatment can be performed by appropriately changing the suction cap. That is, when sucking a cheek with relatively few irregularities, a suction cap with a large end opening is used, and when applying suction force to a recessed part such as the edge of the nose, suction with a small end opening is used. It's like using a cap.

As described above, the suction cleaner for skin of the present invention has a compact structure, is easy to handle, and can give a responsive suction force to the skin. Even an effective suction facial can be done. In addition to using tap water as a source of running water, for example, hot water stored in a bathtub is used to generate a circulating flow, and the running water generated in this way is stored in the grip-shaped housing 2 using a hose or the like. It may be configured to lead to the negative pressure generator 3.
