[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] (overview) This embodiment describes several specific examples included in an eyelash extension device with reference to the drawings. In the drawings illustrating embodiments of the eyelash extension device, the same parts are generally denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted. The eyelash extension device 50 shown in Figure 5 can be used primarily for curing glue during eyelash extension procedures. The eyelash extension device 50 includes an eyelash extension tool 10, a foot pedal 51, and a controller 52.

[0012] (Eyelash extension device) The eyelash extension device 10 may be defined as an eyelash extension device or an eyelash extension attachment. As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, the eyelash extension device 10 includes a device body 11, a light 12, etc. The eyelash extension device 10 can be fitted with and detached tweezers 14. The device body 11 is constructed, for example, by covering the surface of a synthetic resin case with soft silicone rubber. The device body 11 includes a grip 15 and a light support part 16 connected to the grip 15. The grip 15 is the part that the practitioner holds with their hand H1, as shown in Figure 5, and is shaft-shaped. Hand H1 may be either the right or left hand. The light support part 16 is connected to the first end of the grip 15 in the longitudinal direction. A wire 13 is connected to the second end of the grip 15 in the longitudinal direction. For example, a USB-C cable is used as the wire 13. As shown in Figure 6, the wire 13 is connected to the controller 52, and the controller 52 is connected to the power supply 54 via the wire 53. The wire 13 has a configuration that serves both the function of supplying power and the function of transmitting signals.

[0013] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the grip 15 is provided with a retaining hole 19. The retaining hole 19 is provided for attaching and detaching the tweezers 14. The retaining hole 19 is formed in an arch shape in part of the grip 15. The retaining hole 19 extends over more than half of the length of the grip 15.

[0014] The light 12 is a light source that irradiates light A1 as shown in FIG. 5. The light 12 is, for example, a UV-LED light (ultraviolet light-emitting diode light). The light 12 is attached to the outer surface of the light support portion 16. Further, a pressure sensor 20 is provided on the outer surface of the grip 15. The pressure sensor 20 and the holding hole 19 are arranged at positions opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the grip 15. The pressure sensor 20 is operated, specifically pressed, by the finger of the operator's hand H1 that holds the grip 15. The pressure sensor 20 outputs a signal corresponding to the pressure applied from the finger.

[0015] The pressure sensor 20 may be, for example, either a capacitance type or a piezoelectric element type. The capacitance type includes a panel and an electrode. The capacitance generated in the electrode changes according to the pressure received by the panel, and the output signal corresponding to the capacitance changes. The piezoelectric element type converts the pressure applied to the piezoelectric body into a voltage (signal).

[0016] FIG. 5 shows an example in which the tweezers 14 are pressed with the thumb 30 of the hand H1 and the pressure sensor 20 is pressed with the index finger 31 of the hand H1, and the eyelash extension device 10 is held by the hand H1. The orientation in which the eyelash extension device 10 is held by the hand H1 may be such that the index finger 31 presses the tweezers 14 and the thumb 30 presses the pressure sensor 20.

[0017] (Configuration of Tweezers) The tweezers 14 are forceps used for operations such as grasping the eyelash extension 25 and separating the subject's own eyelashes as shown in FIG. 5 in the eyelash extension procedure. As shown in FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B), the tweezers 14 have a first component piece 26 and a second component piece 27. The materials of the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are metal, for example, stainless steel. Both the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are plate-shaped. The tweezers 14 are a V-shaped tool in which the longitudinal end of the first component piece 26 and the longitudinal end of the second component piece 27 are connected.

[0018] The operator can attach the tweezers 14 to the instrument main body 11, for example, by inserting the tip 26A of the first component piece 26 from the side of the electric wire 13 into the holding hole 19. When the tweezers 14 are attached to the instrument main body 11 and the operator holds the grip 15 and the tweezers 14 with the hand H1 as shown in FIG. 5, the pressure sensor 20 and the holding hole 19 are arranged at positions opposite to the direction B1 in which the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 are overlapped in the thickness direction of the grip 15. The operator can remove the tweezers 14 from the instrument main body 11 by pulling out the first component piece 26 from the holding hole 19.

[0019] (Overall Configuration of Eyelash Extension Device) FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the eyelash extension device 50. The foot pedal 51 is placed on the floor at the location where the treatment is performed. The foot pedal 51 is operated by being stepped on by the operator's foot H2 as shown in FIG. 5. The foot H2 can be either the right foot or the left foot. The foot pedal 51 has a foot pedal switch 64, and the foot pedal switch 64 can be either a contact switch or a non-contact switch. The foot pedal switch 64 is turned on when the foot pedal 51 is stepped on and turned off when the foot pedal 51 is not stepped on.

[0020] The controller 52 is provided in the path for supplying power from the power source 54 to the eyelash extension instrument 10. That is, the controller 52 is electrically connected to the electric wire 13 and the electric wire 53. The power source 54 can be either an AC power source or a DC power source. The controller 52 includes a main body, a processor 55, a light control circuit 56, a brightness adjustment button 57, a sensitivity adjustment button 58, a communication device 59, a memory 60, etc. The main body is, for example, a casing made of synthetic resin.

[0021] The processor 55 is located inside the main unit and consists of a central processing unit (CPU) that integrates an arithmetic unit (arithmetic circuit) and a control unit (control circuit). The processor 55 is connected via a bus 61 to communicate with the light control circuit 56, brightness adjustment button 57, sensitivity adjustment button 58, communication device 59, memory 60, etc.

[0022] The light control circuit 56 is located inside the main unit and has a configuration for electrically connecting and disconnecting the power supply 54 and the light 12, and a configuration for changing the brightness of the light 12. The light control circuit 56 is composed of, for example, an electrical circuit and a switching circuit.

[0023] The brightness adjustment button 57 is located on the outer surface of the main unit and is operated by the operator to adjust the brightness of the light 12, for example, the light intensity [lumens (lm)]. The operation signal from the brightness adjustment button 57 is sent to the processor 55.

[0024] The sensitivity adjustment button 58 is located on the outer surface of the main unit and is operated by the operator to adjust the reference value used to determine whether or not the pressure sensor 20 has been pressed by a finger. The operation signal from the sensitivity adjustment button 58 is sent to the processor 55.

[0025] The communication device 59 is an interface that receives signals output from the pressure sensor 20 and signals output from the foot pedal switch 64. The communication device 59 consists of a communication circuit, antenna, communication line, etc. The signal output from the pressure sensor 20 is sent to the communication device 59 via the signal cable 63. The foot pedal switch 64 and the communication device 59 are connected to communicate via a network 62. The network 62 may be either a wireless communication system or a wired communication system.

[0026] As a wireless communication system, for example, a short-range communication system is used. The short-range communication system may or may not have a repeater. Repeaters include, for example, Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, access points, beacons, etc. The wired communication system is configured to connect the communication device 59 and the foot pedal switch 64 by a communication line. Signals received by the communication device 59 are sent to the processor 55 via the bus 61.

[0027] Memory 60 is located inside the main unit and is a non-temporary storage device. Memory 60 stores non-temporary applications and various types of information. Applications include programs, configuration files, data storage files, various libraries, etc. The various types of information stored in memory 60 include the information itself acquired by the processor 55, data, signals, processing results of the processor 55, judgment results of the processor 55, etc. The information stored in memory 60 includes, for example, data for adjusting the light intensity of the light 12 based on the operation of the brightness adjustment button 57, a threshold that serves as a criterion for determining whether or not the pressure sensor 20 has been pressed by a finger and data for changing the threshold, data for turning the light 12 on and off, etc.

[0028] The processor 55 is configured to perform various processes by running non-temporary applications stored in memory 60. The various processes performed by the processor 55 include the processing itself, judgment, control, time measurement, etc. For example, the processor 55 is configured to perform processes to turn the light 12 on and off based on the signal from the pressure sensor 20, the signal from the foot pedal switch 64, and the measured time, and to adjust the light intensity of the light 12 to be turned on based on the operation of the brightness adjustment button 57. The processor 55 can adjust the light intensity of the light 12 to be turned on in a stepless manner or in multiple steps based on the operation of the brightness adjustment button 57. For example, if the light intensity level of the light 12 can be adjusted in 5 steps from light intensity level 1 to light intensity level 5, then the light intensity of the light 12 increases relatively as the number indicating the light intensity level is relatively larger.

[0029] The processor 55 and the light control circuit 56 can perform, for example, a pulse width modulation control method, an analog dimming method, etc., to adjust the light intensity of the light 12. The pulse width modulation control method is a method of adjusting the light intensity of the light 12 by repeatedly switching the light 12 on and off alternately for short periods of time within a predetermined time for the light 12 to be lit. When the pulse width for short periods of time for the light 12 becomes relatively longer, the light intensity of the light 12 increases. The analog dimming method adjusts the current value flowing through the light 12. The higher the current value flowing through the light 12, the greater the light intensity of the light 12.

[0030] Furthermore, the processor 55 determines whether or not to light up the light 12 based on the operating state of the pressure sensor 20 and a threshold value stored in the memory 60. For example, if the pressure sensor 20 is a capacitive type, the processor 55 determines that the pressure sensor 20 has been pressed if the capacitance of the pressure sensor 20 exceeds a threshold value, and determines that the pressure sensor 20 has not been pressed if the capacitance of the pressure sensor 20 is below a predetermined value.

[0031] On the other hand, if the pressure sensor 20 is a piezoelectric element, an electric charge is generated on its surface when pressure is applied to the pressure sensor 20. The magnitude of the charge changes in proportion to the force applied to the pressure sensor 20. The processor 55 determines that the pressure sensor 20 has been pressed when the charge on the pressure sensor 20 exceeds a threshold, and determines that the pressure sensor 20 has not been pressed when the charge on the pressure sensor 20 is below a predetermined value. When the sensitivity adjustment button 58 is operated, the processor 55 changes the threshold stored in the memory 60.

[0032] The processor 55 can adjust the threshold values ​​stored in the memory 60 in a stepless manner or in multiple steps. For example, if the threshold level can be adjusted in five steps from threshold level 1 to threshold level 5, the higher the number indicating the threshold level, the higher the pressing force required to determine that the pressure sensor 20 has been operated.

[0033] Furthermore, the processor 55 is configured to measure time using a built-in timer or application functions. Additionally, the processor 55 is configured to store the results of various processes in the memory 60.

[0034] (Example of using eyelash extension tools) The following is an example of how the eyelash extension device 10 is used. First, with the patient's eyes closed, protective tape is applied to the skin below the eyes. Next, any foreign matter attached to the patient's natural eyelashes is wiped away. Also, as shown in Figure 3, the tweezers 14 are attached to the device body 11. The tip 26A of the first component 26 and the tip 27A of the second component 27 are located in front of the light 12 in the longitudinal direction of the device body 11.

[0035] As shown in Figure 5, the technician grasps one eyelash extension 25 with tweezers 14 and applies an appropriate amount of glue to the end of the grasped eyelash extension 25. The glue is a photocurable resin. Photocurable resin is a synthetic organic material that hardens by changing from a liquid state to a solid state in the action of light energy. For example, ultraviolet curing resin is used as a photocurable resin. Then, the eyelash extension 25 with the glue attached is brought into contact with one of the patient's natural eyelashes.

[0036] The technician can then operate the eyelash extension device 50 to turn the light 12 on and off. As shown in Figure 5, the hardening of the glue is accelerated while light A1 is irradiated from the light 12, and the eyelash extensions 25 adhere to, or are fixed to, the natural eyelashes. The technician uses the device and repeats the above process to adhere each eyelash extension 25 to the client's natural eyelashes one by one. After that, the technician blows air onto the area where the natural eyelashes and eyelash extensions 25 are attached to completely dry the glue.

[0037] The eyelash extension tool 10 can be held by the user by gripping the grip 15 and tweezers 14 with the user's fingers. The pressure sensor 20 and the retaining hole 19 are located at opposite positions on the grip 15. Specifically, the pressure sensor 20 and the retaining hole 19 are positioned at opposite positions in the direction B1 in which the first component piece 26 and the second component piece 27 overlap, within the thickness direction of the grip 15. Therefore, the user can turn on the light 12 by increasing the pressure applied by the index finger 31 that is in contact with the pressure sensor 20, without having to move the thumb 30 and index finger 31, which are gripping the grip 15 and tweezers 14, to another location. Thus, the operability of turning on the light 12 is improved.

[0038] Furthermore, since the practitioner does not need to move their thumb 30 and index finger 31 to another location, vibration of the instrument body 11 can be suppressed. Therefore, the tip 26A of the first component piece 26 and the tip 27A of the second component piece 27 shown in Figure 5 can be prevented from separating from the target natural eyelash, and the adhesion work of the eyelash extension 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently.

[0039] Furthermore, comparing the light 12 of the eyelash extension device 10 of this disclosure with a comparative example of a stand-type light, the light 12 can irradiate light A1 from a point closer to the eyelash extension 25 than the comparative example's stand-type light. Therefore, the bonding work of the eyelash extension 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently.

[0040] Furthermore, the tweezers 14 have a first component piece 26 inserted into a holding hole 19, allowing the practitioner to hold the instrument body 11 and the tweezers 14 in one hand H1. Thus, the eyelash extension bonding work 25 can be performed accurately and efficiently. In addition, the power wire 13 is provided with an adapter 17. Thus, it can receive power from various power sources 54, resulting in a convenient and reliable eyelash extension instrument 10.

[0041] Furthermore, if the surface of the grip 15 is made of soft silicone rubber, fatigue in the practitioner's hand H1 can be suppressed, and the grip 15 can be prevented from slipping against the hand H1. Therefore, the eyelash extension 25 can be bonded accurately and efficiently. In addition, the practitioner can change the brightness of the light 12 and change the predetermined time from when the light 12 is turned on until it is turned off by operating the control unit 28. Therefore, the eyelash extension 25 can be bonded accurately and efficiently.

[0042] (Control example 1) An example of control that can be performed with the eyelash extension device 50 is shown in Figure 8(A). In step S10, the processor 55 determines whether the pressure sensor 20 has been switched from off to on. When the operator increases the force with which they grip the grip 15 and tweezers 14 with their fingers, the pressure sensor 20 is turned on. If the processor 55 determines Yes in step S10, in step S11, it performs the process of turning on the light 12, specifically the process of connecting the light control circuit 24. As a result, power from the power supply 54 is supplied to the light 12, and the light 12 is turned on. In step S12, following step S11, the processor determines whether a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds, has elapsed since the process of turning on the light 12 was executed.

[0043] If the processor 55 determines Yes in step S12, it proceeds to step S13, where it shuts off the light control circuit 24 and resets the timer. As a result, the light 12 is turned off. If the processor 55 determines No in step S12, it continues to step S11. Furthermore, if the processor 55 determines No in step S10, it proceeds to step S13.

[0044] (Control example 2) An example of control that can be performed with the eyelash extension device 50 is shown in Figure 8(B). In step S20, the processor 55 determines whether or not the foot pedal 51 has been pressed. If the processor 55 determines Yes in step S20, in step S21, it executes the process of turning on the light 12. In step S22, following step S21, the processor 55 determines whether or not a predetermined time, for example 5 seconds, has elapsed since the process of turning on the light 12 was executed.

[0045] If processor 55 determines Yes in step S22, it proceeds to step S23 and executes the process of turning off light 12. If processor 55 determines No in step S22, it continues the process of step S21. Furthermore, if processor 55 determines No in step S20, it proceeds to step S23.

[0046] (Control example 3) An example of control that can be performed with the eyelash extension device 50 is shown in Figure 9(A). In step S30, the processor 55 determines whether or not the brightness adjustment button 57 has been operated to adjust the brightness of the light 12. If the processor 55 determines Yes in step S30, in step S31, it sets the brightness of the light 12 to be lit to the "adjusted brightness". If the processor 55 determines No in step S30, it proceeds to step S32 and sets the brightness of the light 12 to be lit to the original brightness, that is, the "brightness that was set before the determination in step S30".

[0047] (Control example 4) An example control 4 that can be performed with the eyelash extension device 50 is shown in Figure 9(B). An example control 4 determines whether or not an operation has been performed to change the criterion for determining whether or not the pressure sensor 20 has been pressed, that is, a predetermined value stored in the memory 60. In step S40, the processor 55 determines whether or not the sensitivity adjustment button 58 has been operated. If the processor 55 determines Yes in step S40, in step S41, it changes the predetermined value stored in the memory 60 according to the operation of the sensitivity adjustment button 58. The processor 55 also determines whether or not to turn on the light 12 based on the changed predetermined value. If the processor 55 determines No in step S40, in step S42, it determines whether or not to turn on the light 12 based on the original predetermined value.

[0048] (Effects of the embodiment) In this embodiment, the eyelash extension device 50 has the pressure sensor 20 and the controller 52 positioned separately. This allows the technician to hold the eyelash extension 25 between the tweezers 14 with their hand H1 and operate the brightness adjustment button 57 or sensitivity adjustment button 58 with their other hand. This prevents changes in the force applied to the eyelash extension 25 from the tweezers 14 when operating the brightness adjustment button 57 or sensitivity adjustment button 58. Consequently, it prevents the eyelash extension 25 from falling off the tweezers 14 or becoming deformed when operating the brightness adjustment button 57 or sensitivity adjustment button 58, improving the technician's operability.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the eyelash extension device 50 allows the light 12 to be turned on by pressing the foot pedal 51. Therefore, when the practitioner operates the foot pedal 51 while holding the eyelash extension 25 with the tweezers 14 in their hand H1, it is possible to suppress changes in the force applied to the eyelash extension 25 from the tweezers 14. Thus, the same effects as described above can be obtained.

[0050] Furthermore, by operating the sensitivity adjustment button 58 to change the threshold at which the pressure sensor 20 stored in memory 60 is turned on, the practitioner can arbitrarily change the pressing force required to illuminate the light 12 according to their preference. Therefore, the operability by the practitioner is improved.

[0051] Furthermore, if the practitioner wants to switch the light 12 on and off simply by operating the foot pedal 51 with their foot H2, they can set a predetermined value stored in memory 60 to a relatively high value. This prevents the light 12 from turning on unintentionally due to changes in the gripping force of the tweezers 14.
