[0006] Technical problems to be solved by utility models

[0007] In the hair clipper described in Patent Document 1, the shaft portions of the comb and brush, which are inserted through mounting holes in each side wall, are exposed on the surface of each side wall of the cover. Furthermore, there is a concern that dirt or other contaminants may enter the gap between the mounting holes and the shaft portions from the surface side of the cover. Therefore, there are concerns regarding this hair clipper that it has an unattractive appearance and that stains become more noticeable with use. Utility Model Content

[0008] This utility model was made in view of the above-mentioned existing situation, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a beautiful beauty device with a good appearance.

[0009] Technical means for solving problems

[0010] The first utility model of a beauty device,

[0011] It features a handle and a main body for beauty purposes, and can transform into a folded state and a usable state.

[0012] The handle has:

[0013] The wall portion extends in one direction; and

[0014] A pair of sidewalls, which extend in the same direction from two side edges of the wall portion.

[0015] The handle and the main body of the beauty container rotate relative to each other about a rotation axis disposed between the pair of sidewalls, thus transforming into the folded state and the used state.

[0016] The two ends of the rotating shaft are not exposed on the surface of each of the sidewalls.

[0017] The ends of the rotation axis that allows the handle to rotate relative to the body of the beauty device are not exposed on the surface of the side walls of the handle. Therefore, the rotation axis cannot be visually confirmed from the surface of the handle. That is, the beauty device allows the handle and the body of the beauty device to rotate relative to each other around the rotation axis without forming recesses, gaps, or other openings on the surface of the handle that would allow dirt or other contaminants to enter.

[0018] Therefore, the beauty device of the first utility model has a good appearance.

[0019] The second utility model relates to a beauty device.

[0020] It has a handle and a beauty container body, among which,

[0021] A portion of the outer edge of the handle is arranged with two outwardly bulging mountain-shaped sections.

[0022] This beauty device can use the outer edge of the mountain-shaped part to press and massage the user's skin, or use the outer edge of the valley part between the two arranged mountain-shaped parts to glide on the user's skin for a so-called gua sha massage.

[0023] Therefore, the beauty device of the second utility model can be used for skin massage.

[0024] The beauty tools mentioned here include combs, brushes, razors, mirrors, and makeup trays. When the beauty tool is a comb, the main body is a comb body with multiple teeth. When the beauty tool is a brush, the main body is a brush body with multiple bristles. When the beauty tool is a razor, the main body is a razor body with a razor blade. When the beauty tool is a mirror, the main body is a mirror body. When the beauty tool is a makeup tray, the main body is a tray body with a container for holding cosmetics.

[0049] H…heart-shaped part. Detailed Implementation

[0050] The preferred embodiments of the first utility model and the second utility model are described.

[0051] In the beauty device of the first utility model, the main body of the beauty device may be a comb body having multiple comb teeth arranged in a row. In this case, the beauty device is a comb. The comb becomes compact and easy to carry when the handle and the comb body are rotated relative to each other about a rotation axis to form a folded state. Therefore, the comb can be carried to a destination, etc., and used when the handle and the comb body are rotated relative to each other about a rotation axis to form a usage state.

[0052] In the beauty device of the first utility model, the rotating shaft can be integrally formed with each of the side walls. In this case, the beauty device can be connected in a state where the spacing between the side walls is kept constant by means of the rotating shaft, thus preventing deformation of the handle due to widening of the spacing between the side walls.

[0053] In the beauty device of the first utility model, the body of the beauty device may have a bearing portion through which the rotation axis passes. In this case, the handle and the body of the beauty device can rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis.

[0054] In the second utility model of a beauty device, the main body of the beauty device can be a comb body having multiple comb teeth arranged in a row. In this case, the beauty device is a comb. The comb can be used to comb and clean hair using the comb body, or to massage the skin using the mountain-shaped part of the handle.

[0055] In the second utility model of a beauty device, the handle has a heart-shaped portion, and the two mountain-shaped portions can form part of the heart-shaped portion. In this case, the beauty device can enhance its decorative appeal through the heart-shaped portion. Additionally, the beauty device is easy to grip the heart-shaped portion.

[0056] In the second utility model of the beauty device, a portion of the outer edge of the handle can be bent outwards and form part of the outer edge of the heart-shaped portion. In this case, the beauty device can enhance its decorative appeal through the heart-shaped portion.

[0057] In the second utility model of a beauty device, the handle and the body of the beauty device can rotate relative to each other to deform into a folded state. In the folded state, the handle can cover at least a portion of the body of the beauty device. In this case, the beauty device is deformed into a folded state that covers at least a portion of the body of the beauty device, thereby allowing it to be held in a way that is easy to massage or to be easily carried.

[0058] <Example 1>

[0059] Next, referring to the accompanying drawings, embodiment 1 of the comb 1, which is a beauty tool embodied as both a first utility model and a second utility model, will be described. Figures 1-4 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the comb 1 has a handle 10 and a comb body 30. The handle 10 and the comb body 30 can rotate relative to each other about a rotation axis 50 to change into a folded state and a use state. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the folded state is when the handle 10 and the comb body 30 extend in the same direction from the rotation axis 50 and overlap. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the usage state is when the handle 10 and the comb body 30 extend in opposite directions from the rotation axis 50.

[0060] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the handle 10 has a wall portion 11, a pair of side walls 13, and a rotating shaft 50, and forms a grip portion 10A and a handle connecting portion 10B. The grip portion 10A is the part that the user grips in the use state. The handle connecting portion 10B is continuous with the grip portion 10A and is provided at the rear end opposite to the front end of the handle 10. The pair of side walls 13 are integrally formed with the rotating shaft 50 at the handle connecting portion 10B.

[0061] like Figures 1-6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the comb body 30 has a base 31 and multiple comb teeth 33, and forms a comb section 30A and a comb connecting section 30B. The comb section 30A is the portion from which multiple comb teeth 33 extending in the same direction from the base 31 are arranged in a row. The comb connecting section 30B is provided at the rear end opposite to the front end 31F of the base 31. The base 31 has a bearing section 37 at the comb connecting section 30B for the passage of a rotation shaft 50.

[0062] For ease of explanation, regardless of the folded or used state, taking the comb body 30 as a reference, the direction in which each comb tooth 33 extends from the base 31 of the comb body 30 is defined as the downward direction, and its opposite direction as the upward direction. The direction from the comb connector 30B to the front end of the comb body 30 is defined as the left direction, and its opposite direction as the right direction. The directions orthogonal to the upward and downward and left and right directions are defined as the front and back directions. In the three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system shown in each figure, the positive direction of the X-axis is the "left direction", the negative direction of the X-axis is the "right direction", the positive direction of the Y-axis is the "up direction", the negative direction of the Y-axis is the "down direction", the positive direction of the Z-axis is the "front direction", and the negative direction of the Z-axis is the "back direction".

[0063] <Structure of handle 10>

[0064] like Figure 9 As shown, the wall portion 11 of the handle 10 has a predetermined width, along one direction (in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The folding state shown Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the usage configuration shown, the handle 10 extends in a relatively straight line (left-right direction). The left-right dimension is 126 mm, the up-down dimension is 21 mm, and the front-back dimension is 10 mm. The wall portion 11 extends along the tangent to a circle centered on the rotation axis 50, as described later. Figure 3 ,and Figure 6 As shown, the wall portion 11 extends from the front end of the handle 10 to the middle of the handle connection portion 10B. The surface 11F of the wall portion 11... Figures 1-3 The lower surface in the folded state shown. Figure 4 , Figure 6 ,and Figure 7 The upper surface shown in the usage state extends slightly outward in the front-back direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the wall portion 11 (in...). Figures 1-3 The folded state shown is the bottom, in Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The shape shown is bulging out from the top (in the usage state shown).

[0065] The area near the rear end of the wall portion 11 of the handle 10 (the end on the handle connection portion 10B side) slopes slightly along the outer periphery of each side wall 13. That is, as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the area near the rear end of the wall portion 11 tilts slightly upwards and to the right when folded. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the thickness near the front end of the wall portion 11 increases compared to the thickness of the wall portion 11 extending towards the rear end. The back surface 11B of the portion of the wall portion 11 where the thickness increases (in...) Figure 3In the folded state shown, the upper surface can contact the lower end of the front end of the base 31 of the comb body 30. The comb 1 contacts the back surface 11B of the thickened portion of the wall portion 11 through the lower end of the front end 31F of the base 31 of the comb body 30. Thus, in the folded state, the front end of the comb teeth 33 of the comb body 30 does not contact the back surface 11B of the wall portion 11.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the folded state, the front end of the handle 10 is further forward than the front end of the comb body 30 (in... Figure 1 and Figure 3 (In the folded state shown, it protrudes to the left). The wall portion 11, which protrudes further forward than the front end of the comb body 30, has a bulge 15. In the folded state, this bulge 15 protrudes towards the comb body 30 (in...). Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the folded state shown, the comb 1 is bulging out from the top. The bulge 15 forms the front end of the handle 10. Thus, the front end of the handle 10 is formed by a curved surface, so the comb 1 can effectively comb and clean hair using the front end of the handle 10.

[0067] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the wall portion 11 of the handle 10 has a portion facing the comb body 30 at the rear end (in... Figure 3 The folded state shown is the top, in Figure 6 The projecting wall 11T (shown as the lower part in the usage configuration) protrudes in a direction approximately right-angled with the wall portion 11. For example... Figure 3 As shown, in the folded state of the handle 10 and the comb body 30, the front end of the protruding wall 11T approaches the front end of the first protrusion 35A of the comb body 30 (described later). When the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are to rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis 50 in the direction of deformation from the folded state to the use state, the front ends of the protruding wall 11T and the first protrusion 35A respectively contact each other to suppress rotation. In this way, the protruding wall 11T and the first protrusion 35A are a locking mechanism that locks the handle 10 and the comb body 30 in the folded state. When the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are rotated relative to each other about the central axis by a rotational force greater than a predetermined value, the front ends of the protruding wall 11T and the first protrusion 35A pass over each other, allowing deformation from the folded state to the use state. Furthermore, as... Figure 6As shown, in the use state, the front end of the protruding wall 11T approaches the front end of the second protrusion 35B of the comb body 30, which will be described later. When the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are to rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis 50 in the direction of deformation from the use state to the folded state, the front ends of the protruding wall 11T and the second protrusion 35B respectively come into contact with each other and inhibit rotation. In this way, the protruding wall 11T and the second protrusion 35B are a locking mechanism that locks the handle 10 and the comb body 30 in the use state. When the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are rotated relative to each other about the central axis by a rotational force of more than a specified value, the front ends of the protruding wall 11T and the second protrusion 35B pass over each other and can deform from the use state to the folded state.

[0068] like Figures 1-4 ,and Figures 6-9 As shown, the pair of sidewalls 13 of the handle 10 extend in the same direction from the two edges of the wall portion 11. Figures 1-3 The folded state shown is the top, in Figure 4 and Figures 6-8 The usage state shown is the lower extension. For example... Figure 3 , Figure 6 ,and Figure 8 As shown, compared to the rear end of the wall portion 11 with the protruding wall 11T, the pair of side walls 13 are directed toward the rear end opposite to the front end of the handle 10 (in... Figure 3 The folded state shown is the right side. Figure 6 and Figure 8 (As shown in the usage state, the left side is extended.) The rear ends of each sidewall 13 (in...) Figure 1 and Figure 3 The folded state shown is the right end. Figure 4 The left end (shown in the usage state) has a curved shape protruding in the opposite direction to the front end of the handle 10. The rear ends of each sidewall 13 are also curved, making it less prone to snagging compared to combs with angled rear ends when the comb 1 is folded and carried around. Therefore, the handle 10 and comb body 30 of this comb 1 are less likely to be accidentally rotated into the usage state.

[0069] The rear ends of a pair of sidewalls 13 form a handle connection portion 10B. The opposing inner surfaces 13B of each pair of sidewalls 13 are planar at the handle connection portion 10B and extend parallel to each other at a predetermined interval. Figure 7As shown, the spacing between the opposing inner surfaces 13B of the pair of sidewalls 13 at the handle connector 10B is slightly wider than the thickness of the comb connector 30B of the comb body 30 described later. The surfaces 13F of each of the pair of sidewalls 13 at the handle connector 10B bulge slightly outward, forming a heart-shaped portion H in the front and rear views. Two mountain-shaped portions 13M, bulging outward in the front and rear views, are arranged along the outer edges of each of the pair of sidewalls 13 at the handle connector 10B. The two arranged mountain-shaped portions 13M of each pair of sidewalls 13 constitute part of the outer edge of the heart-shaped portion H. In the front and rear views, the outwardly bulging, curved portions of the rear ends of the pair of sidewalls 13 are continuous with the rear ends of the mountain-shaped portions 13M, constituting part of the outer edge of the heart-shaped portion H.

[0070] In each of the pair of sidewalls 13, an edge 13E extending away from the wall portion 11 (in) Figure 1 The folded state shown is the top edge. Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the usage state shown, the lower edge gradually moves away from the wall portion 11 from the front end of the handle 10 toward the handle connection portion 10B. Therefore, the comb 1 is easy to grip the handle 10 when in use. Compared to the front end of the handle 10, the width of each side wall 13 near the handle connection portion 10B varies more in the vertical direction. That is, the edge 13E of each side wall 13 extending away from the wall portion 11 curves in a way that it is concave toward the wall portion 11, and the curvature near the handle connection portion 10B at the rear end is greater than that at the front end of the handle 10.

[0071] The grip portion 10A is formed near the handle connection portion 10B from the front end to the rear end of the handle 10. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the respective surfaces 13F of the pair of sidewalls 13 at the gripping portion 10A are planar and extend parallel to each other. The opposing inner surfaces 13B of the pair of sidewalls 13 at the gripping portion 10A are slightly larger than the width in the front-rear direction of the inserted comb teeth 33. The opposing inner surfaces 13B of the pair of sidewalls 13 at the gripping portion 10A face away from the wall portion 11 (in... Figure 2 The spacing gradually increases from top to bottom. Therefore, when the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are rotated relative to each other around the rotation axis 50 to deform into a folded state, the comb teeth 33 can be smoothly inserted between the pair of side walls 13 of the handle 10. That is, when the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are rotated relative to each other around the rotation axis 50 to deform into a folded state, the wall portion 11 of the handle 10 and the pair of side walls 13 become a state that covers part of the comb body 30, namely the front end portion of the comb teeth 33.

[0072] like Figure 7As shown, the two ends of the rotating shaft 50 are integrally formed with the inner surfaces 13B of a pair of sidewalls 13 at the handle connection portion 10B. The rotating shaft 50 extends in a direction orthogonal to the inner surfaces 13B of the pair of sidewalls 13. The rotating shaft 50 is cylindrical.

[0073] <Structure of comb body 30>

[0074] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 ,and Figure 10 As shown, the comb body 30 is a horizontally elongated flat plate, longer in the left-right direction and thinner in the front-back direction. The left-right dimension of the comb body is 116mm, the top-bottom dimension is 27mm, and the front-back dimension of the upper edge is 3mm. Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the thickness of the comb body 30 in the front-to-back direction is thinner than the thickness of the handle 10 in the front-to-back direction. Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 ,and Figure 10 As shown, the base 31 of the comb body 30 has an upper edge 31U, a front end 31F, and a rear end 31B. The upper edge 31U extends in a straight line in the left-right direction. The front end 31F extends diagonally downward to the left from the front end (left end) of the upper edge 31U. The rear end 31B extends rearward and downward from the rear end of the upper edge 31U. The rear end 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30 constitutes the comb connecting portion 30B.

[0075] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 ,and Figure 10 As shown, the upper surface of the upper edge 31U of the base 31 of the comb body 30 extends in the left-right direction. The upper surface of the upper edge 31U of the base 31 is a curved surface that bulges slightly upward in the front-back direction (see reference). Figure 2 The upper surface of the upper edge 31U of the base 31 slopes slightly downwards and to the left at the left end. The lower end of the upper edge 31U of the base 31 extends in a straight line along the horizontal direction. Figure 2 As shown, the lower surface of the upper edge portion 31U of the base 31 has a pair of inclined surfaces 31S and a lower surface 31D. The pair of inclined surfaces 31S are inclined downward from the lower edge of the front and rear surfaces of the upper edge portion 31U of the base 31 towards the front and rear center. The lower surface 31D is inclined slightly downward from the lower end of each inclined surface 31S towards the front and rear center.

[0076] The left surface of the front end portion 31F of the base 31 of the comb body 30 is continuous with the upper surface of the upper edge portion 31U of the base 31 (see reference). Figure 9 ).like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the left surface of the front end portion 31F of the base 31 is an inclined surface that slopes downwards to the left. The left surface of the front end portion 31F of the base 31 curves upwards and to the left at the top. The right surface of the front end portion 31F of the base 31 is an inclined surface that slopes downwards to the left. The width of the front end portion 31F of the base 31 gradually decreases from left to right as it faces downwards. Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the front end portion 31F of the base 31 faces downwards and its width gradually decreases. The lower end portion of the front end portion 31F of the base 31 is located in the leftmost direction in the comb body 30.

[0077] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figures 8-10 As shown, the upper left end of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30 is continuous with the right end of the upper edge portion 31U. The left end of the rear portion 31B of the base 31, which extends further downward than the lower end of the upper edge portion 31U, extends parallel to the comb teeth 33, which are located on the far right and extend in the vertical direction, at a predetermined interval. The vertical length of the left end of the rear portion 31B, which extends further downward than the lower end of the upper edge portion 31U of the base 31, is the same as the vertical length of the comb teeth 33.

[0078] The upper surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30 is continuous with the upper surface of the upper edge portion 31U of the base 31. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the upper surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 is a curved surface that bulges upwards slightly in the front-rear direction. (As shown...) Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figures 8-10 As shown, the upper surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 has an inclined surface 31K that slopes upwards and to the right at its right end. The rear portion 31B of the base 31 has an upper rear end surface 31X that is continuous with the right end of the inclined surface 31K and extends downwards. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the upper rear end face 31X contacts the protruding wall 11T of the wall portion 11 of the handle 10 in the use state. Therefore, in the front view, the handle 10 in the use state position does not rotate counterclockwise relative to the comb body 30 about the rotation axis 50.

[0079] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figures 8-10As shown, the right side and lower right side surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30 are curved surfaces that are continuous with the lower end of the upper rear end face 31X and extend along an arc around the center of the bearing portion 37 (described later). The lower right side surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 is continuous with the lower end of the right side surface. The lower right side surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 has a first protrusion 35A near its left end, which protrudes radially relative to the center of the bearing portion 37. The first protrusion 35A is generally semi-cylindrical and extends in the front-rear direction. The right side surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 has a second protrusion 35B near its upper end, which protrudes radially relative to the center of the bearing portion 37. The second protrusion 35B is generally semi-cylindrical and extends in the front-rear direction.

[0080] A bearing portion 37 extending in the front-rear direction is formed at the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30. A rotating shaft 50 extending in the front-rear direction is disposed in the bearing portion 37. In the rear portion 31B of the base 31, a passage 39 connecting to the bearing portion 37 from an insertion opening 39I formed on the lower surface extends in the front-rear direction. The width of the passage 39 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 50. The passage 39 has a first passage 39A, a second passage 39B, and a third passage 39C. The first passage 39A extends upward from the insertion opening 39I, the second passage 39B extends obliquely upward to the right from the upper end of the first passage 39A, and the third passage 39C extends to the right from the upper end of the second passage 39B and connects to the bearing portion 37. The third passage 39C is transversely cut in the vertical direction by a C-shaped pin 41 at its boundary with the bearing portion 37.

[0081] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 ,and Figure 8 As shown, a first through hole 32A is formed at the rear portion 31B of the base 31, located to the right of the first protrusion 35A. This first through hole 32A extends from the lower right surface to the lower surface of the third passage 39C. The first through hole 32A extends linearly in the vertical direction. At the rear portion 31B of the base 31, a second through hole 32B is formed extending upward from the upper surface of the third passage 39C. This second through hole 32B has a central axis extending in the same straight line as the central axis of the first through hole 32A. The upper part of a C-pin 41, inserted from the lower end of the first through hole 32A, passes through the third passage 39C and is inserted into the second through hole 32B from the lower end of the second through hole 32B. The C-pin 41, which cuts across the third passage 39C in the vertical direction, prevents the rotating shaft 50, which is disposed in the bearing portion 37, from moving towards the third passage 39C. That is, the C-shaped pin 41, which cuts across the third passage 39C in the vertical direction, is used to prevent the handle 10 from separating from the comb body 30.

[0082] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figures 9-11 As shown, a groove 34 is formed at the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30, located to the right of the bearing portion 37. A sliding adjustment spring 43 is embedded in this groove 34. The groove 34 opens on the front surface side of the rear portion 31B of the base 31. The groove 34 extends vertically. The spring 43 is disposed in the left and right center portions of the groove 34, extending vertically. The groove 34 has alternating concave and convex shapes facing opposite sides on its left and right inner wall surfaces, so that the spring 43 will not fly forward during assembly. That is, the left inner wall surface of the groove 34 has a concave portion, a convex portion, a concave portion, and a convex portion in sequence from top to bottom, and the right inner wall surface of the groove 34 has a convex portion, a concave portion, a convex portion, and a concave portion in sequence from top to bottom.

[0083] like Figure 11 As shown, the spring 43 is formed by bending a spring wire so that both ends extend in a straight line and the central portion protrudes from both ends in a mountain-shaped manner. Both ends of the spring 43 contact the bottom surface of the groove 34, and the central portion of the spring 43 protrudes from the front surface of the rear portion 31B of the base 31 and is embedded in the groove 34. Through multiple protrusions provided on the left and right inner walls of the groove 34, the spring 43 embedded in the groove 34 is clamped from the left and right directions and held within the groove 34.

[0084] With the handle 10 and the comb body 30 assembled, and the rotating shaft 50 integrally formed with the handle connection portion 10B of the handle 10 placed in the bearing portion 37 of the comb body 30, the central portion of the spring 43 embedded in the groove portion 34 contacts the inner surface 13B of the side wall 13 in the front handle connection portion 10B. By the contact between the central portion of the spring 43 and the inner surface 13B of the side wall 13 of the handle 10, the handle 10 and the comb body 30 can achieve appropriate rotational resistance when rotating around the rotating shaft 50.

[0085] like Figures 1-6 , Figure 9 ,and Figure 10 As shown, multiple comb teeth 33 extend parallel downwards from the upper edge 31U and the front end 31F of the base 31 of the comb body 30. Each comb tooth 33 is arranged in a row along the left-right direction. That is, the comb body 30 has multiple comb teeth 33 arranged in a row. Each comb tooth 33 extending downwards from the upper edge 31U of the base 31 has the same shape. Each comb tooth 33 extending downwards from the front end 31F of the base 31 gradually shortens towards the front end (left). The shape of each comb tooth 33 is the same when projected from either the left or right direction.

[0086] Each comb tooth 33 is a flat shape whose side surface area is wider when viewed from either the left or right direction than when viewed from either the front or back direction. For example... Figure 5 As shown, each comb tooth 33 has an outwardly bulging elliptical shape in its horizontal cross-section. Figure 2 As shown, each comb tooth 33 has a tapering shape, gradually narrowing in width from the root (continuous with the upper edge 31U and front end 31F) towards the tip. The tip of each comb tooth 33 is a curved surface. This shape of the comb teeth 33 helps to suppress friction between hairs during combing and cleaning. The comb body 30 is coated with a plating solution containing an antistatic agent. Therefore, this comb 1 can reduce static electricity generation during combing and cleaning.

[0087] Assembly of handle 10 and comb body 30

[0088] First, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the spring 43 is embedded in the groove 34 formed at the rear part 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30. Next, as... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 50, integrally formed with the handle connecting portion 10B, is disposed in the bearing portion 37 via the insertion opening 39I formed at the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30, through the first passage 39A, the second passage 39B, and the third passage 39C. Next, a C-pin 41 is inserted into the first through hole 32A and the second through hole 32B formed at the rear portion 31B of the base 31 of the comb body 30. Thus, the rotating shaft 50 disposed in the bearing portion 37 is prevented from moving towards the third passage 39C by the C-pin 41 which cuts across the third passage 39C in the vertical direction, and the assembly of the handle 10 and the comb body 30 is completed.

[0089] <Example 2>

[0090] Referring to the accompanying drawings, Embodiment 2, which embodies the comb 101 as a beauty tool of the second utility model, will be described. Figures 12-15 As shown, in Embodiment 2, the handle 110 of the comb 101 is integrally formed with the comb body 130 and cannot be deformed into a folded or usable state, which differs from the comb 1 of Embodiment 1. Structures identical to those in the comb 1 of Embodiment 1 are labeled with the same symbols, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0091] For ease of explanation, the direction in which each comb tooth 33 extends from the base 131 of the comb body 130 is designated as the downward direction, and its opposite direction as the upward direction. The direction from the handle 110 to the front end of the comb body 130 is designated as the left direction, and its opposite direction as the right direction. Directions orthogonal to the upward and downward and left and right directions are designated as the front and back directions. In the three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system shown in the figures, the positive direction of the X-axis is the "left direction", the negative direction of the X-axis is the "right direction", the positive direction of the Y-axis is the "up direction", the negative direction of the Y-axis is the "down direction", the positive direction of the Z-axis is the "front direction", and the negative direction of the Z-axis is the "back direction".

[0092] <Structure of handle 110>

[0093] The handle 110 is integrated with the comb body 130. The handle 110 is continuous with the opposite end of the front end (left end) of the comb body 130, which is longer in the left-right direction. Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the handle 110 is formed into a heart-shaped portion H in both the front and rear views. Two upward-bulging mountain-shaped portions 113M are arranged along the upper edge of the handle 110 in both the front and rear views. These two mountain-shaped portions 113M constitute part of the outer edge of the heart-shaped portion H. The outwardly bulging, curved portion of the rear end edge of the handle 110 is continuous with the rear end edge of the mountain-shaped portions 113M, thus forming part of the outer edge of the heart-shaped portion H. Figure 15 As shown, the front and rear surfaces of the heart-shaped part H bulge slightly outwards. Therefore, it is easy for the user to grip the heart-shaped part H.

[0094] <Structure of Comb Body 130>

[0095] like Figures 12-15 As shown, the comb body 130 has a base 131 and multiple comb teeth 33. In the comb body 130, the multiple comb teeth 33 extending from the base 131 in the same direction are arranged in a row. The comb body 130 has a horizontally elongated flat shape, longer in the left-right direction and thinner in the front-back direction. The left-right dimension of the comb 101 is 144 mm. The vertical dimension of the comb body 130 is 34 mm, and the front-back dimension of the upper edge 131U is 10 mm. Figure 15 As shown, the thickness of the comb body 130 in the front-to-back direction is thinner than the thickness of the handle 110 in the front-to-back direction.

[0096] The base 131 of the comb body 130 has an upper edge 131U, a front end 131F, and a rear end 131B. The upper edge 131U extends linearly in the left-right direction. The upper surface of the upper edge 131U extends in the left-right direction. The upper surface of the upper edge 131U is a curved surface that bulges slightly upward in the front-rear direction. The upper surface of the upper edge 131U is slightly inclined downward to the left at the left end. The lower end of the upper edge 131U extends linearly in the left-right horizontal direction. The lower surface of the upper edge 131U has a pair of inclined surfaces 131S and a lower surface 131D. The pair of inclined surfaces 131S are inclined downward from the lower edge of the front and rear surfaces of the upper edge 131U towards the front-rear center, and the lower surface 131D is inclined slightly downward from the lower end of each inclined surface 131S towards the front-rear center.

[0097] The left surface of the front end portion 131F is continuous with the upper surface of the upper edge portion 131U. The left surface of the front end portion 131F is an inclined surface that slopes downwards to the left. The left surface of the front end portion 131F is curved in a manner that slightly bulges upwards to the left. The right surface of the front end portion 131F is continuous with the lower surface of the upper edge portion 131U. The right surface of the front end portion 131F is an inclined surface that slopes downwards to the left. The right surface of the front end portion 131F is curved in a manner that slightly bulges upwards to the left. The front end portion 131F faces downwards and its width gradually decreases from left to right. The front end portion 131F faces downwards and its width gradually decreases from front to back. The lower end of the front end portion 131F is located in the leftmost direction within the comb body 130.

[0098] The left end of the rear portion 131B is continuous with the right end of the upper edge portion 131U. The upper surface of the rear portion 131B is continuous with the upper surface of the upper edge portion 131U. The upper surface of the rear portion 131B extends in the left-right direction. The upper surface of the rear portion 131B is a curved surface that bulges slightly upward in the front-back direction. The right end of the upper surface of the rear portion 131B is continuous with the left end of the upper surface of the mountain-shaped portion 113M of the handle 110. The left end of the lower end of the rear portion 131B is continuous with the right end of the lower end of the upper edge portion 131U. The lower end of the rear portion 131B extends while gradually curving downward to the right.

[0099] Multiple comb teeth 33 extend parallel downwards from the upper edge 131U, front end 131F, and rear end 131B of the base 131 of the comb body 130. Each comb tooth 33 is arranged in a row along the left-right direction. That is, the comb body 130 has multiple comb teeth 33 arranged in a row. Each comb tooth 33 extending downwards from the base 131 has the same shape. Each comb tooth 33 extending downwards from the front end 131F gradually shortens towards the front end (left). Each comb tooth 33 extending downwards from the rear end 131B gradually shortens towards the right. The shape of each comb tooth 33 is the same when projected from either the left or right direction.

[0100] As described above, the beauty tool of Embodiment 1 is a comb 1, which has a handle 10 and a comb body 30, and can be transformed into a folded state and a use state. The handle 10 has a wall portion 11 extending in one direction and a pair of sidewalls 13 extending in the same direction from the two side edges of the wall portion 11 extending in one direction. The handle 10 and the comb body 30 rotate relative to each other about a rotation axis 50 disposed between the pair of sidewalls 13, transforming into a folded state and a use state. The two ends of the rotation axis 50 are not exposed on the surface 13F of each sidewall 13.

[0101] In Embodiment 1, the two ends of the rotation axis 50 that causes the handle 10 and the comb body 30 to rotate relative to each other are not exposed on the surface 13F of each side wall 13 of the handle 10. Therefore, the rotation axis 50 cannot be visually confirmed from the surface 13F of the handle 10. That is, the comb 1 allows the handle 10 and the comb body 30 to rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis 50 without forming recesses, gaps, or other openings on the surface 13F of the handle 10 that allow dirt or the like to enter.

[0102] Therefore, the comb 1 of Example 1 has a good appearance.

[0103] In the comb 1 of Embodiment 1, the comb body 30 has multiple comb teeth 33 arranged in a row. Therefore, the comb 1 becomes compact and easy to carry when the handle 10 and the comb body 30 are rotated relative to each other about the rotation axis 50 to form a folded state. Thus, the comb 1 can be carried to a destination, etc., and can be used in a usage state by rotating the handle 10 and the comb body 30 relative to each other about the rotation axis 50.

[0104] In the comb 1 of Embodiment 1, the rotating shaft 50 is integrally formed with each sidewall 13. Therefore, the comb 1 can be connected in a state in which the spacing of each sidewall 13 is kept constant by the rotating shaft 50, and thus, deformation of the handle 10 that widens the spacing of each sidewall 13 can be prevented.

[0105] In the comb 1 of Embodiment 1, the comb body 30 has a bearing portion 37 through which the rotation axis 50 passes. Therefore, the comb 1 is capable of rotating the handle 10 and the comb body 30 relative to each other about the rotation axis 50.

[0106] The beauty tools of Embodiments 1 and 2 are combs 1 and 101 having handles 10 and 110 and comb bodies 30 and 130. Two outwardly bulging mountain-shaped parts 13M and 113M are arranged on a part of the outer edge of the handles 10 and 110.

[0107] Combs 1 and 101 in Examples 1 and 2 can perform a pressing massage on the user's skin by using the outer edges of the mountain-shaped parts 13M and 113M, or perform a so-called scraping massage by using the outer edges of the valley part between the two mountain-shaped parts 13M and 113M.

[0108] Therefore, the combs 1 and 101 of Examples 1 and 2 can be used for skin massage.

[0109] In the combs 1 and 101 of Embodiments 1 and 2, the comb bodies 30 and 130 have multiple comb teeth 33 arranged in a row. Therefore, these combs 1 and 101 can be used to comb and clean hair using the comb bodies 30 and 130, or to massage the skin using the mountain-shaped portions 13M and 113M of the handles 10 and 110.

[0110] In the combs 1 and 101 of Embodiments 1 and 2, the handles 10 and 110 have a heart-shaped portion H, and two mountain-shaped portions 13M and 113M constitute part of the heart-shaped portion H. Therefore, these combs 1 and 101 can enhance their decorative appeal through the heart-shaped portion H. In addition, the heart-shaped portion H is easy to grip in these combs 1 and 101.

[0111] In the combs 1 and 101 of Embodiments 1 and 2, a portion of the outer edge of the handles 10 and 110 bends outward and forms part of the outer edge of the heart-shaped portion H. Therefore, these combs 1 and 101 can enhance their decorative appeal through the heart-shaped portion H.

[0112] In the comb 1 of Embodiment 1, the handle 10 and the comb body 30 can be rotated relative to each other to deform into a folded state. In the folded state, the handle 10 covers a part of the comb body 30. Therefore, the comb 1 is deformed into a folded state that covers a part of the comb body 30, thereby making it easy to hold in a massage manner or easy to carry.

[0113] This utility model is not limited to the embodiments 1 and 2 described above and illustrated in the drawings. For example, the following embodiments are also included in the technical scope of this utility model.

[0114] (1) The rotating shaft may not be integrally formed with the sidewalls. In this case, recesses are formed on the inner surface of each sidewall to allow the two ends of the rotating shaft to be inserted. Thus, the rotating shaft can be in a state where it is not exposed on the surface of each sidewall.

[0115] (2) It can also be beauty tools such as brushes, razors, mirrors and makeup trays.

[0116] (3) Alternatively, a magnet can be placed on either the body of the beauty device or the handle, and a magnetic body such as metal can be placed on the other, thereby locking the body of the beauty device and the handle in a folded state and a use state.

[0117] (4) The handle and the body of the beauty device can also be detachable structures. In this case, the passage connected to the bearing portion formed in the body of the beauty device can also have a protrusion at the boundary with the bearing portion, the protrusion protruding in such a way that the width of the passage is slightly narrower than the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft can move between the bearing portion and the passage over the protrusion. Alternatively, a C-shaped ring can be provided in the bearing portion of the body of the beauty device, the C-shaped ring being elastically deformable and opening towards the passage side, allowing the rotating shaft to be easily inserted into the C-shaped ring.

[0118] (5) Alternatively, a recess may be provided on either the outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft or the inner circumferential surface of the bearing portion, and a protrusion may be provided on the other side, so that the rotation of the handle can be stopped at a specified position between the folded state and the use state.

[0119] (6) At least one of the handle and the body of the beauty container can be aluminum oxide. In this case, the comb can improve chemical resistance and durability compared to resin.

[0120] (7) The side wall of the handle may also cover the body of the beauty container. In this case, the body of the beauty container can be protected from the outside. Alternatively, only the upper edge of the body of the beauty container may be exposed from the side wall of the handle. In this case, it is easy to rotate the handle and the body of the beauty container around the axis of rotation.
