[0012] Hereinafter, a mode for carrying out the beauty device according to the present application (hereinafter referred to as "embodiment") will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the beauty device according to the present application is not limited by this embodiment.

[0013] (First Embodiment) The beauty device 1 introduces the beauty components impregnated and ionized in the liquid agent impregnated material 200 into the treatment site (hereinafter referred to as "treatment site") by energizing in a state where the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is in contact with the skin surface of the user. Further, the beauty device 1 may remove waste products from the treatment site.

[0014] The liquid-impregnated material 200 is formed by impregnating a material of the liquid-impregnated material 200 with a liquid. The material of the liquid-impregnated material 200 is, for example, cosmetic cotton, cloth, sponge, gel body, non-woven fabric, etc. The liquid impregnated in the material of the liquid-impregnated material 200 is a liquid having conductivity, such as an ionized component solution (electrolyte solution), lotion, creaming liquid, and water. Note that the liquid impregnated in the material of the liquid-impregnated material 200 may be a mixed solution in which the above-mentioned liquids are mixed. The liquid-impregnated material 200 is, for example, rectangular in shape.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the beauty device 1 includes a main body portion 2 and a cover body 3. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of the beauty device 1 according to the first embodiment. The main body portion 2 includes a main body casing 4 and a head portion 5.

[0016] The main body casing 4 is formed in a vertically long shape so that the user can hold it. For example, the main body casing 4 is formed in a size and shape that allows the user to hold it with one hand.

[0017] Hereinafter, the longitudinal direction of the main body casing 4 will be described as the vertical direction. Among the vertical directions, the direction in which the head portion 5 is provided will be referred to as "upward", and the side opposite to the upward will be referred to as "downward". Also, when treatment is performed on the treatment site by the beauty device 1, the side of the main body casing 4 facing the treatment site will be referred to as "front", and the front-rear direction opposite to the front will be referred to as "rear". Further, the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction and the front-rear direction will be referred to as the left-right direction. One side of the left-right direction will be referred to as "left side", and the other side will be referred to as "right side". Also, the left-right direction may be referred to as the side direction.

[0018] The main body casing 4 houses a power supply unit, a circuit board, etc. The main body casing 4 is provided with an operation unit 4a for operating the beauty device 1 and a display unit indicating the state of the beauty device 1. The operation unit 4a is, for example, a button and a switch. The display unit is, for example, an LED (Light Emitting Diode).

[0019] For example, the main body casing 4 is provided with a counter electrode portion having a polarity opposite to that of the electrode portion 10 described later. The counter electrode portion is provided at a location where the user's hand touches when the user grips the main body portion 2. For example, the counter electrode portion is provided on the upper end side and the rear end side of the main body casing 4. The counter electrode portion is composed of a conductive material. Note that the counter electrode portion may be provided on the head portion 5.

[0020] When viewed from the treatment site side, the head portion 5 is circular. Note that the shape of the head portion 5 when viewed from the treatment site side may not be circular.

[0021] The head portion 5 is provided on the distal end side of the main body casing 4, specifically, on the upper end side of the main body casing 4. The head portion 5 is provided so as to project obliquely upward from the front surface of the main body casing 4. Note that the head portion 5 may be provided so as to project forward from the distal end side of the main body casing 4. The head portion 5 may be provided so as to project upward from the distal end of the main body casing 4.

[0022] The head portion 5 applies beauty treatment to the user's treatment site. The head portion 5 includes an electrode portion 10, an engagement portion 11, and a stopper 12. The electrode portion 10 is provided at the tip in the direction in which the head portion 5 projects from the main body portion 2. The electrode portion 10 is composed of a conductive material.

[0023] The engagement portion 11 is provided so as to project in the left - right direction from the side surface of the head portion 5. A plurality of engagement portions 11 are provided. Specifically, two engagement portions 11 are provided. One engagement portion 11 is provided so as to project leftward from the left - hand side surface of the head portion 5. The other engagement portion 11 is provided so as to project rightward from the right - hand side surface of the head portion 5. A step portion 20b of the fixing portion 20 of the cover body 3 described later engages with the engagement portion 11.

[0024] The engagement portion 11 is provided with a guide portion 11a that projects along the projecting direction of the head portion 5. The guide portion 11a is inserted into a guide hole 20c of the cover body 3 described later.

[0025] The stopper 12 is provided so as to protrude in the left - right direction from the side surface of the head portion 5. A plurality of stoppers 12 are provided. Specifically, two stoppers 12 are provided. One stopper 12 is provided so as to protrude leftward from the left - side surface of the head portion 5. The other stopper 12 is provided so as to protrude rightward from the right - side surface of the head portion 5.

[0026] The stopper 12 is provided behind the engaging portion 11. Specifically, the stoppers 12 are respectively provided behind the engaging portion 11. The stopper 12 abuts on the bottom surface 3a (see FIG. 4), which is the surface of the cover body 3 on the side opposite to the treatment site, and restricts the cover body 3 from moving toward the main body portion 2, specifically, toward the main body casing 4 side.

[0027] Note that the engaging portion 11 and the stopper 12 may be provided on the main body casing 4. Also, the stopper 12 may be provided on the main body casing 4.

[0028] The cover body 3 is attached to the main body portion 2. The cover body 3 arranges the liquid agent - impregnated material 200 on the head portion 5. Specifically, the cover body 3 arranges the liquid agent - impregnated material 200 on the head portion 5 such that the liquid agent - impregnated material 200 covers the electrode portion 10 of the head portion 5. The cover body 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 - 4. FIG. 2 is a view of the cover body 3 seen from the treatment site side. FIG. 3 is a cross - sectional view taken along line III - III of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a view of the cover body 3 seen from the main body casing 4 side.

[0029] The cover body 3 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The cover body 3 is made of, for example, resin or the like. The cover body 3 is formed with a first opening 15a and a second opening 15b. The first opening 15a is an opening on the main body casing 4 side. The second opening 15b is an opening on the treatment site side. The first opening 15a and the second opening 15b are larger than the electrode portion 10 and the mounting surface 10a (see FIG. 5) of the electrode portion 10.

[0030] The cover body 3 is formed with cutout holes 16. Two cutout holes 16 are formed. The cutout holes 16 are formed to open toward the main body casing 4 side. The cutout holes 16 are formed on the upper end side and the lower end side of the cover body 3.

[0031] The cover body 3 includes a holding portion 18, a pressing portion 19, a fixing portion 20, and a protecting portion 21.

[0032] A plurality of holding portions 18 are formed. Specifically, four holding portions 18 are provided. The holding portions 18 are provided on the main body casing 4 side. The holding portions 18 are provided to project into the cutout holes 16 along the circumferential direction of the cover body 3. Two holding portions 18 are provided for one cutout hole 16. That is, a pair of holding portions 18 are provided for one cutout hole 16. The pair of holding portions 18 are provided to project in opposite directions in the circumferential direction of the cover body 3. That is, the pair of holding portions 18 project so as to reduce the opening width of the cutout holes 16.

[0033] The holding portion 18 holds the liquid agent impregnated material 200 when the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is inserted into the cutout hole 16. For example, when the holding portion 18 is placed on a horizontal surface such as a desk with the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the cutout hole 16, the surface of the holding portion 18 on the treatment site side (the second opening 15b side) contacts the liquid agent impregnated material 200 and holds the liquid agent impregnated material 200. Note that the holding portion 18 on the main body casing 4 side forms the first opening 15a. When the holding portion 18 is placed on a horizontal surface such as a desk with the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the cutout hole 16, the surface of the holding portion 18 on the main body casing 4 side contacts the horizontal surface. Note that the holding portion 18 may be provided to project toward the main body casing 4 side.

[0034] The pressing part 19 is provided on the treatment site side. The pressing part 19 is provided at the end on the treatment site side. Specifically, the pressing part 19 is provided in the second opening 15b. The pressing part 19 is provided so as to protrude inward from the inner wall of the cover body 3. A plurality of pressing parts 19 are provided. Specifically, two pressing parts 19 are provided. The pressing parts 19 are provided at the ends of the second opening 15b in the left-right direction. Note that two or more pressing parts 19 may be provided. Also, the pressing part 19 may be formed on the entire circumference of the second opening 15b. The pressing part 19 is formed so as to hide the fixing part 20 when the cover body 3 is viewed from the second opening 15b side in a state where the cover body 3 is not attached to the main body part 2.

[0035] The fixing part 20 is provided on the inner wall of the cover body 3. The fixing part 20 fixes the cover body 3 to the head part 5. A plurality of fixing parts 20 are provided. Specifically, two fixing parts 20 are provided. The fixing parts 20 are provided on the inner walls at the ends of the cover body 3 in the left-right direction. The fixing part 20 is provided so as to be engageable with the engaging part 11 of the head part 5.

[0036] The fixing part 20 includes an engaging hole 20a, a stepped part 20b, and a guide hole 20c. The engaging hole 20a is formed such that a part of the inner wall of the cover body 3 is recessed outward. By forming the engaging hole 20a, the stepped part 20b is formed. The stepped part 20b is formed closer to the main body casing 4 side than the engaging hole 20a. When the cover body 3 is attached to the head part 5, the engaging part 11 of the head part 5 is inserted into the engaging hole 20a.

[0037] When a force is applied to the cover body 3 toward the treatment site side with the engaging part 11 of the head part 5 inserted into the engaging hole 20a, the stepped part 20b and the engaging part 11 engage with each other, thereby suppressing the cover body 3 from coming off the head part 5. Also, when a force is applied to the cover body 3 in the circumferential direction of the cover body 3 with the engaging part 11 of the head part 5 inserted into the engaging hole 20a, the stepped part 20b abuts against the circumferential wall forming the engaging hole 20a, thereby preventing the cover body 3 from rotating with respect to the head part 5.

[0038] The guide hole 20c communicates with the engagement hole 20a. The guide hole 20c is formed so as to extend from the engagement hole 20a toward the treatment site side (the second opening 15b side). When the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5, the guide portion 11a of the head portion 5 is inserted into the guide hole 20c.

[0039] The protection portion 21 is provided so as to protrude outward from the side wall of the cover body 3. The protection portion 21 is provided so as to protrude in the left - right direction from the outer wall of the cover body 3. A plurality of protection portions 21 are provided. Specifically, two protection portions 21 are provided. One protection portion 21 is provided so as to protrude leftward from the outer wall on the left side of the cover body 3. The other protection portion 21 is provided so as to protrude rightward from the outer wall on the right side of the cover body 3.

[0040] The protection portion 21 is provided outside the fixing portion 20. The protection portion 21 is provided so as to cover the side wall of the cover body 3 where the fixing portion 20 is formed. A gap 22 is formed between the protection portion 21 and the side wall at the location where the fixing portion 20 is formed. That is, a double - wall is provided outside the fixing portion 20.

[0041] Next, the attachment and detachment of the cover body 3 to and from the head portion 5 will be described.

[0042] When the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5, first, the liquid - agent - impregnated material 200 is inserted into the notch hole 16 of the cover body 3. The liquid - agent - impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16 of the cover body 3 is held by the holding portion 18. For example, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid - agent - impregnated material 200 is placed on a horizontal plane such as a desk, the liquid - agent - impregnated material 200 is separated from the horizontal plane by the holding portion 18. Therefore, the adhesion of the liquid agent to the horizontal plane is suppressed.

[0043] Next, the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is attached to the head portion 5. Specifically, alignment is performed such that the guide portion 11a of the head portion 5 is inserted into the guide hole 20c of the cover body 3. At this time, the user can easily insert the guide portion 11a into the guide hole 20c by bringing the cover body 3 close to the head portion 5 so that the positions of the protection portion 21 and the stopper 12 match in the left - right direction.

[0044] With the guide portion 11a inserted into the guide hole 20c, the cover body 3 is moved toward the head portion 5, so that the stepped portion 20b of the cover body 3 contacts the engaging portion 11 of the head portion 5. Then, as the cover body 3 is pressed toward the head portion 5, the stepped portion 20b deforms outward and the stepped portion 20b gets over the engaging portion 11. After the stepped portion 20b gets over the engaging portion 11, the stepped portion 20b returns to its original shape, so that the stepped portion 20b and the engaging portion 11 engage with each other, and the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5. When the stepped portion 20b gets over the engaging portion 11, a sound is generated, enabling the user to confirm the attachment of the cover body 3 to the head portion 5.

[0045] Note that the cover body 3 can be attached to the head portion 5 even when rotated 180 degrees in the circumferential direction. That is, the cover body 3 can be attached to the head portion 5 even with the left - right direction reversed.

[0046] The cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5 with the liquid agent impregnated material 200 exposed from the second opening 15b. When the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5, the positional relationship between the cover body 3 and the head portion 5 is as shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the positional relationship between the cover body 3 and the head portion 5 in a state where the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5.

[0047] The second opening 15b of the cover body 3 is larger than the electrode portion 10 and the mounting surface 10a of the electrode portion 10. Therefore, the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5 with the second opening 15b on the side of the main body casing 4 rather than the mounting surface 10a of the electrode portion 10.

[0048] When the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5, the electrode portion 10 protrudes toward the treatment site side from the cover body 3. Therefore, the liquid agent impregnated material 200 held by the cover body 3 is in a curved state so as to protrude toward the treatment site side by the electrode portion 10. That is, the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is in a state of being pushed by the electrode portion 10 toward the treatment site side. Further, the liquid agent impregnated material 200 covers the entire electrode portion 10 on the treatment site side.

[0049] Therefore, when the liquid agent impregnated material 200 comes into contact with the treatment site, the contact area between the liquid agent impregnated material 200 in contact with the electrode portion 10 and the treatment site becomes large. The beauty device 1 can perform treatment with the entire electrode portion 10.

[0050] When the cover body 3 is removed from the head portion 5, the protection portion 21 is pushed upward toward the second opening portion 15b side. By pushing the protection portion 21 upward toward the second opening portion 15b side, the stepped portion 20b is deformed outward, and the engagement between the stepped portion 20b and the engaging portion 11 is released. Thereby, the cover body 3 can be removed from the head portion 5.

[0051] Since the protection portion 21 is provided outside the fixing portion 20, when the protection portion 21 is pushed upward toward the second opening portion 15b side, the stepped portion 20b is easily deformed outward. That is, the user can push up the protection portion 21 with a small force to release the engagement between the stepped portion 20b and the engaging portion 11, and the cover body 3 can be removed from the head portion 5.

[0052] The liquid agent impregnated material 200 is removed from the cover body 3 by, for example, pulling out the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from the notch hole 16 of the cover body 3 removed from the head portion 5. The user can remove the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from the cover body 3 without touching the vicinity of the center of the used liquid agent impregnated material 200.

[0053] When the cover body 3 with the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16 is viewed from the treatment site side, as shown in FIG. 6, the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is inside the liquid agent-impregnated material 200. That is, the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is provided inside both ends 18a of the holding portion 18. Specifically, the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is provided inside both ends 18a of the holding portion 18 in the left-right direction. FIG. 6 is a view of the cover body 3 with the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16 viewed from the treatment site side.

[0054] When the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is attached to the head portion 5 and the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is pushed toward the treatment site side by the electrode portion 10, the left and right ends of the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 in the cover body 3 abut against the pressing portion 19. Thereby, even when the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is pushed toward the treatment site side by the electrode portion 10, the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is prevented from being curled at the left and right ends in the cover body 3.

[0055] Also, when the cover body 3 with the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16 is viewed from the treatment site side, the fixing portion 20 is outside the liquid agent-impregnated material 200. That is, the fixing portion 20 is provided outside both ends 18a of the holding portion 18. Specifically, the fixing portion 20 is provided outside both ends 18a of the holding portion 18 in the left-right direction.

[0056] Therefore, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is attached to the head portion 5, the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is prevented from being pinched between the fixing portion 20 and the engaging portion 11. That is, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is attached to the head portion 5, the biting-in of the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is suppressed.

[0057] Also, when the cover body 3 with the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16 is viewed from the treatment site side, the fixing portion 20 is provided outside the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19.

[0058] Therefore, when the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5 while holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200, the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is prevented from having its left and right ends in the cover body 3 curled, and is also prevented from being pinched between the fixing portion 20 and the engaging portion 11.

[0059] The beauty device 1 includes a main body portion 2 having a head portion 5 that applies a beauty treatment to a treatment site of a user on the tip side, and a cover body 3 that is attached to the main body portion 2 and attaches the liquid agent impregnated material 200 to the head portion 5. The cover body 3 includes a holding portion 18 that holds the liquid agent impregnated material 200. The cover body 3 is attached to the main body portion 2 while holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 by the holding portion 18.

[0060] Thereby, when the cover body 3 is attached to the main body portion 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from shifting with respect to the head portion 5. Further, when the cover body 3 is attached to the main body portion 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from curling. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can, for example, attach the cover body 3 to the main body portion 2 in a state where the entire electrode portion 10 provided on the head portion 5 is covered with the liquid agent impregnated material 200. Accordingly, the beauty device 1 can reduce the mounting error of the liquid agent impregnated material 200. For example, the user can easily attach the cover body 3 to the main body portion 2 in a state where the entire electrode portion 10 is covered with the liquid agent impregnated material 200.

[0061] The cover body 3 is cylindrical and is attached to the main body portion 2 in a state where the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is exposed from the second opening portion 15b on the treatment site side. A notch hole 16 into which the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is inserted is formed on the cover body 3 on the side opposite to the second opening portion 15b. The holding portion 18 projects into the notch hole 16 and holds the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16.

[0062] As a result, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the holding portion 18 does not protrude toward the treatment site side, and it is possible to prevent the cover body 3 from protruding toward the treatment site side. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can suppress contact between the treatment site and the cover body 3. Further, since there is no portion protruding toward the treatment site side on the cover body 3, the design can be improved. Further, the user can attach the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 to the cover body 3 through the notch hole 16, and can easily attach the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 to the cover body 3.

[0063] The cover body 3 is configured such that when the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is held by the holding portion 18 and placed on a horizontal plane without being attached to the head portion 5, the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 does not contact the horizontal plane.

[0064] As a result, when the cover body 3 is placed on a horizontal plane while holding the liquid agent-impregnated material 200, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated in the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 from adhering to the horizontal plane.

[0065] The cover body 3 includes a pressing portion 19 that protrudes inward from the inner wall of the cover body 3.

[0066] As a result, the beauty device 1 can hold the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 by the pressing portion 19, and can suppress the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 from being rolled up when the cover body 3 is attached to the main body 2.

[0067] The inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is provided inside both ends 18a of the holding portion 18 when viewed from the treatment site side.

[0068] As a result, the beauty device 1 can hold the end portion of the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 held by the holding portion 18 by the pressing portion 19, and can suppress the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 from being rolled up.

[0069] The main body portion 2 is provided with a stopper 12 that abuts against the bottom surface 3a of the cover body 3 and restricts the movement of the cover body 3 toward the main body portion 2 side.

[0070] Thereby, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from slipping out of the cover body 3 toward the treatment site side by the stopper 12 restricting the movement of the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 toward the main body portion 2 side.

[0071] The cover body 3 is provided with a fixing portion 20 provided on the inner wall of the cover body 3 for fixing the cover body 3 to the main body portion 2.

[0072] Thereby, the beauty device 1 can suppress the rotation of the cover body 3 attached to the main body portion 2. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from being displaced after the cover body 3 is attached to the main body portion 2.

[0073] The fixing portion 20 is provided outside both ends 18a of the holding portion 18 when viewed from the treatment site side.

[0074] Thereby, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from being pinched between the fixing portion 20 and the main body portion 2 when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body portion 2. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from being displaced when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body portion 2.

[0075] The cover body 3 is provided with a pressing portion 19 protruding inward from the inner wall of the cover body 3. The fixing portion 20 is provided outside the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 when viewed from the treatment site side.

[0076] As a result, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid agent impregnated material 200 held by the pressing portion 19 from being sandwiched between the fixing portion 20 and the main body 2. Therefore, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from shifting.

[0077] The cover body 3 includes a fixing portion 20 provided on the inner wall of the cover body 3 for fixing the cover body 3 to the main body 2, and a protection portion 21 protruding outward from the outer wall of the cover body 3. The protection portion 21 is provided outside the fixing portion 20.

[0078] As a result, when the user attaches the cover body 3 to the main body 2, the user can attach the cover body 3 to the main body 2 by the fixing portion 20 by bringing the cover body 3 close to the main body 2 using the position of the protection portion 21 as a mark. That is, it becomes easy for the user to align the cover body 3 with respect to the main body 2. Further, when the cover body 3 is removed from the main body 2, the protection portion 21 is pushed up, so that a force is transmitted to the fixing portion 20 inside the protection portion 21, and the fixing of the cover body 3 to the main body 2 is released by a small force. That is, the user can remove the cover body 3 from the main body 2 with a small force.

[0079] The protection portion 21 is formed so as to cover the outer wall outside the fixing portion 20.

[0080] As a result, the beauty device 1 can protect the fixing portion 20 by the protection portion 21. Therefore, for example, when the cover body 3 drops with the fixing portion 20 side facing downward, the beauty device 1 can reduce the impact applied to the fixing portion 20.

[0081] In the above-described embodiment, an example in which four holding portions 18 are provided in the cover body 3 has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the number of the holding portions 30 may be two. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a cover body 32 according to a modified example. FIG. 8 is a view of the cover body 32 according to the modified example as seen from the main body casing 4 side.

[0082] One holding portion 30 is provided for each notch hole 31. The two holding portions 30 are provided so as to protrude in the same direction in the circumferential direction of the cover body 32, for example.

[0083] Thereby, the cover body 32 can hold the liquid agent impregnated material 200 with a small number of holding portions 30.

[0084] Note that the two holding portions 30 may be provided in one notch hole 31. The two holding portions 30 are provided so as to protrude in opposite directions in the circumferential direction of the cover body 32, for example.

[0085] Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the holding portion 33 may include a protruding portion 34 that protrudes toward the second opening portion 15b side (treatment site side). FIG. 9 is a schematic view of a cover body 35 according to a modified example. Thereby, the cover body 35 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from falling by the protruding portion 34.

[0086] The cover body 3 may be attached to the head portion 5 using a magnet. For example, a magnet is provided on at least one of the cover body 3 and the head portion 5, and the cover body 3 is fixed to the head portion 5 by magnetic force. Further, the cover body 3 may be attached to the head portion 5 by being press-fitted into the head portion 5. The cover body 3 may be attached to the head portion 5 by being engaged therewith. For example, a female screw is formed on the cover body 3, and a male screw is formed on the head portion 5. Further, an L-shaped groove may be formed on one of the cover body 3 or the head portion 5, and a protruding portion that engages with the groove may be formed on the other of the cover body 3 or the head portion 5.

[0087] The cover body 3 may have an anti-slip process applied to at least a part of the surface that contacts the liquid agent impregnated material 200, specifically, at least a part of the surface facing the liquid agent impregnated material 200. For example, the surface of the holding part 18 facing the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is subjected to an anti-slip process. The anti-slip process is, for example, a process that forms irregularities on the surface. The anti-slip process only needs to be able to increase the frictional force with the liquid agent impregnated material 200 compared to before the process.

[0088] Thereby, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from falling off the cover body 3.

[0089] The lengths of the two notch holes 16 in the left-right direction may be different. For example, the notch hole 16 with a shorter length in the left-right direction is formed to be shorter than the length of the liquid agent impregnated material 200 in the left-right direction to be inserted. Thereby, the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 16 with a shorter length in the left-right direction is held in a state of being compressed in the left-right direction by the cover body 3. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can suppress the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from falling off the cover body 3. When the user removes the liquid agent impregnated material 200 held by the cover body 3 from the cover body 3, the user can easily remove the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from the cover body 3 by pulling out the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from the side of the notch hole 16 with a longer length in the left-right direction.

[0090] As shown in FIG. 10, the side wall 36a forming the left and right ends of the notch hole 36 in the left-right direction may be an inclined surface that inclines so that the length of the notch hole 36 in the left-right direction becomes longer as it approaches the second opening 15b side. FIG. 10 is a schematic view showing a part of the cover body 37 according to a modified example.

[0091] Thereby, the left and right ends of the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the notch hole 36 are guided and held along the side wall 36a toward the treatment site side. Therefore, when the cover body 37 is attached to the head part 5 (see FIG. 1), the movement of the liquid agent impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) within the notch hole 36 is suppressed, and the winding of the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is suppressed.

[0092] Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the side wall 38a that forms the left and right ends of the notch hole 38 may be an inclined surface that inclines such that the length of the notch hole 38 in the left and right direction becomes shorter as it approaches the second opening 15b side. FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing a part of the cover body 39 according to a modified example.

[0093] When the cover body 39 is attached to the head portion 5 (see FIG. 1) and the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is pushed toward the treatment site by the electrode portion 10 (see FIG. 1), the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 deforms along the side wall 38a. Therefore, the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 deforms such that the entire liquid agent-impregnated material 200 gently protrudes toward the treatment site side. Accordingly, the liquid agent impregnated at the end of the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 easily moves toward the electrode portion 10 side. For example, when the amount of the liquid agent impregnated in the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 in contact with the electrode portion 10 decreases due to treatment, the liquid agent impregnated at the end of the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 easily moves toward the electrode portion 10 side. In this way, the liquid agent impregnated in the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 is effectively used and treatment is performed.

[0094] In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the side wall 40a that forms the left and right ends of the notch hole 40 may be a bent surface that bends. FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing a part of the cover body 41 according to a modified example. The side wall 40a inclines such that the length of the notch hole 40 in the left and right direction becomes longer once, and then inclines such that the length of the notch hole 40 in the left and right direction becomes shorter as it approaches the second opening 15b side.

[0095] Further, as shown in FIG. 13, an insertion hole 42a may be formed in the notch hole 42. That is, the notch hole 42 may be formed to include the insertion hole 42a. FIG. 13 is a schematic view showing the notch hole 42 according to a modified example. The insertion hole 42a is formed so that the left and right ends of the liquid agent-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) can be inserted. The insertion hole 42a has a smaller width than the other notch holes 42. Note that the width is the length in the protruding direction of the head portion 5 (see FIG. 1). When the insertion hole 42a is formed, the ends of the holding portion 44 in the left and right direction become the tips of the insertion hole 42a in the left and right direction.

[0096] By inserting the end portion of the liquid agent impregnated material 200 into the insertion hole 42a, the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is prevented from falling off the cover body 3.

[0097] The head portion 5 may be formed such that the area orthogonal to the protruding direction of the head portion 5 decreases as it approaches the treatment site side. That is, the head portion 5 may be formed in a trapezoidal shape, for example, when viewed from the side. Thereby, when the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5, the beauty device 1 can guide the attachment of the cover body 3 by the head portion 5.

[0098] The above-described modifications can be applied in combination. For example, the insertion hole 42a shown in FIG. 13 may be formed in the side wall of the notch hole 16 of the first embodiment. The insertion hole 42a may be formed in the side wall 38a shown in FIG. 11 or the like. Further, the above-described modifications can be applied to other embodiments described below.

[0099] (Second Embodiment) Next, the beauty device 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. Here, the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as the first embodiment will be omitted. The beauty device 1 according to the second embodiment is different from the cover body 3 of the first embodiment in that the cover body 50 is different. The cover body 50 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 14. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the cover body 50 according to the second embodiment.

[0100] A through hole 51 is formed in the cover body 50. The through hole 51 is formed in the side wall of the cover body 50. A plurality of through holes 51 are formed. Specifically, two through holes 51 are formed. The liquid agent impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is inserted into the through hole 51.

[0101] The cover body 50 holds the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the through hole 51 by a holding portion 52. The holding portion 52 is provided on the side of the main body casing 4 (see FIG. 1) rather than the through hole 51, and holds the liquid agent impregnated material 200 inserted into the through hole 51. The holding portion 52 is the cover body 50 on the side of the main body casing 4 rather than the through hole 51.

[0102] The beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid agent impregnated material 200 from falling off the cover body 50 because the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is held by the holding part 52 in a state where the liquid agent impregnated material 200 is inserted into the through hole 51.

[0103] Note that, as shown in FIG. 15, the cover body 54 may have one through hole 51 and one notch hole 55 formed therein. The liquid agent impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is inserted into the through hole 51 and the notch hole 55. FIG. 15 is a view of the cover body 54 according to the modified example as seen from the side.

[0104] (Third Embodiment) Next, the beauty device 1 according to the third embodiment will be described.

[0105] The holding part 61 is provided so as to protrude inward from the inner wall of the cover body 60. A plurality of holding parts 61 are provided. Specifically, four holding parts 61 are provided. The holding part 61 is provided between the first opening 15a and the second opening 15b. The pressing part 19 is provided on the second opening 15b side rather than the holding part 61. Note that two holding parts 61 may be provided. For example, when the cover body 60 is viewed from the treatment site side, the two holding parts 61 are provided at positions that are point-symmetrical with respect to the central axis of the cover body 60. That is, the two holding parts 61 are provided at diagonal positions.

[0106] A liquid agent impregnated material 201 conforming to the shape of the inner wall of the cover body 60 is disposed in the cover body 60 and supported by the holding part 52. For example, the shape of the liquid agent impregnated material 201 is circular. The liquid agent impregnated material 201 is accommodated in the cover body 60.

[0107] When the liquid agent impregnated material 201 is accommodated in the cover body 60 and the cover body 60 is attached to the main body portion 2 (see FIG. 1), it is possible to suppress the end portion of the liquid agent impregnated material 201 from being exposed outside the beauty device 1 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the beauty device 1 can improve the design property when the liquid agent impregnated material 201 is attached.

[0108] In addition, the material of the liquid agent impregnated material 201 accommodated in the cover body 60 can be sold as a dedicated product for the beauty device 1. That is, the beauty device 1 can contribute to the promotion of the sale of the material of the liquid agent impregnated material 201 which is a consumable.

[0109] (Fourth Embodiment) Next, the beauty device 1 according to the fourth embodiment will be described. Here, the parts different from those in the first embodiment will be described, and the description of the same configuration as that in the first embodiment will be omitted. The beauty device 1 according to the fourth embodiment is different from the cover body 3 in the first embodiment in that the cover body 70 is different. The cover body 70 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 18. FIG. 18 is a perspective view of the cover body 70 according to the fourth embodiment.

[0110] The cover body 70 includes a first cover 71 and a second cover 72. The cover body 70 is configured by combining the first cover 71 and the second cover 72.

[0113] The first cover 71 and the second cover 72 have, for example, an engagement mechanism. The second cover 72 is attached to the first cover 71 by the engagement mechanism. The engagement mechanism is, for example, a claw portion and an engagement portion that engages with the claw portion. Also, the engagement mechanism is, for example, an L-shaped groove and a protrusion that engages with the groove. Note that the second cover 72 may be attached to the first cover 71 by, for example, a magnet or the like. Also, the second cover 72 may be attached by meshing with the first cover 71. For example, a female thread is formed on the first cover 71 and a male thread is formed on the second cover 72. Also, the second cover 72 may be rotatably attached to the first cover 71 by a hinge or the like.

[0114] The second cover 72 includes a pressing portion 19 and a protruding portion 75. The protruding portion 75 protrudes toward the first cover 71 and is formed so as to close the opening of the notch hole 73 on the second cover 72 side. The protruding portion 75 is inserted into the notch hole 73 when the second cover 72 is attached to the first cover 71.

[0115] The cover body 70 has the second cover 72 attached to the first cover 71 with the liquid agent impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) inserted into the notch hole 73 of the first cover 71.
