Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic device, and more particularly to a cosmetic device that is configured to perform functions such as applying a formulation, stimulating the skin, and massaging in one device. [Background technology]

[0002] Recently, with the expansion of the functional cosmetics market, various cosmetic devices have been developed that not only apply cosmetics but also stimulate the skin, and in particular, cosmetic devices that provide skin stimulation through low frequency or vibration have appeared. These are mainly provided using a separate device with a built-in low frequency or vibration transmission function, and have the problem of reduced user convenience because they require a separate power source or are provided as separate components from the device that stores and / or applies the cosmetic formulation.

[0003] Furthermore, even if the device that stimulates the skin can be combined with a device that stores and / or applies the cosmetic formulation, it is usually required to be stored separately due to the characteristics of the device containing electronic components, and since the devices are combined when in use, there are problems with weight and operability, which often reduce portability and practicality.

[0004] Meanwhile, Gua Sha massage, a popular massage technique, is a traditional therapeutic method known to improve blood flow to the skin and provide a lifting effect. When such a Gua Sha massage is required, it is common to use an additional Gua Sha tool or separate device suitable for Gua Sha massage. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0039] FIG. 1 illustrates a cosmetic device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 1, a cosmetic device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a container 200 configured to contain a cosmetic formulation, and a cap 100 that opens and closes the container 200, which is integrally provided with an applicator 110 for applying the cosmetic formulation to the skin.

[0041] The applicator 110 according to one embodiment of the present invention can be housed in the container 200 together with a cosmetic dosage form when the cap 100 is coupled to the container 200 to close the container 200.

[0042] The cosmetic device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention can be operated to transmit at least one of an electric current and a vibration to the contacted skin through the tip 120 without a separate power switch when at least a portion of the tip 120 formed at one end of the applicator 110 and at least a portion of the cap 100 come into contact with the skin.

[0043] As described above, the applicator 110 that applies the cosmetic formulation and generates skin stimulation such as electric current or vibration is integrally formed in the cosmetic device 10, eliminating the need to bring and assemble a separate device with a skin stimulation function, and allowing the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention to simultaneously apply the formulation and stimulate the skin. This significantly improves portability and convenience for users.

[0044] Here, when the tip 120 and the cap 100 come into contact with the skin, the cosmetic device 10 automatically starts operating to transmit current and / or vibration to the skin contact surface through the tip 120 without a separate power switch operation, and conversely, when at least one of the tip 120 and the cap 100 is released from skin contact, the cosmetic device 10 can automatically stop operating without a separate power switch operation.

[0045] For this purpose, the cap 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include at least one circuit board, at least one dry cell battery, and at least one vibration motor built-in.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the battery capacity may be sufficient to allow use for at least about three months without replacement, assuming that the user uses the skin stimulation function of the cosmetic device 10 for two minutes each day. For example, a 3.7V / 220mAh lithium battery (single cell) may be used.

[0047] Meanwhile, in order to form a closed current loop through skin contact between the cap 100 and the tip 120, the tip 120 may be formed of a conductive material, and the cap 100 may be formed through a deposition and / or plating process using a conductive material. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the tip 120 may be formed of SUS (Steel Use Stainless Steel), and the cap 100 may be formed by chrome deposition and / or chrome plating. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other metal materials or conductive materials that are safe for skin contact and resistant to corrosion may be used. For example, conductive silicone, plated plastic, etc. may be used.

[0048] Furthermore, the cap 100 and the container 200 may all be made of conductive materials, and color spray, holographic coating, etc. may be applied to at least a portion of the cap 100 and / or the container 200 to add design elements.

[0049] Here, the current transmitted to the skin through the tip 120 may be low frequency. By supplying an alternating current similar to the low frequency that flows naturally in the body to the dermis layer of the skin in contact with the tip 120, the production of collagen and elastin is promoted, and the dermis density is increased, ultimately achieving wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and lifting effects.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a 3.7V dry cell battery voltage can be applied, and the voltage can be amplified within the circuit board to transmit current to the chip 120, but this is not limiting.

[0051] In addition, the vibrations transmitted to the skin through the tip 120 may be sonic vibrations. By hitting the skin in contact with the tip 120 with slow vibrations, blood circulation can be promoted, improving skin firmness and, at the same time, promoting easier penetration of the cosmetic formulation applied to the tip 120 into the skin in contact with the tip 120.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when powered, a 9,000 rpm motor can transmit vibrations to the skin at 150 times per second, but this is not limiting.

[0053] Specifically, a vibration motor is operated by a dry cell that is activated by contact of the cap 100 and the tip 120 with the skin, and vibrations can be transmitted through the tip 120 to the user's skin that is in contact with the tip 120.

[0054] As the skin stimulation function is automatically activated by skin contact without a separate power source, user operations such as charging the cosmetic device 10 and button operation are minimized, allowing users to perform skin care easily and conveniently.

[0055] Meanwhile, at least a portion of the vibration motor, the dry battery, and the circuit board according to an embodiment of the present invention may be mounted in the inner cap together with the applicator 110, and the inner cap may be inserted into the cap 100. In this case, the inner cap may further include a coupling structure for detachably coupling the cap 100 to the container 200.

[0056] Here, the cap 100 can be coupled to or separated from the container 200 by a coupling structure 201 formed at the open end of the container 200 (the upper end of the container 200 in FIG. 1). To this end, a coupling structure corresponding to the coupling structure 201 can be formed on the inner cap. While FIG. 1 shows an example in which the coupling structure 201 is a thread structure, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the coupling structure 201 can be formed using various coupling methods such as a slide coupling, a clip coupling, or a magnetic coupling.

[0057] The inner cap according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG.

[0058] However, without being limited thereto, the cap 100 itself may be fitted with at least a portion of the vibration motor, dry battery, and circuit board together with the applicator 110, and / or the cap 100 itself may be provided with a coupling structure for detachably coupling with the container 200.

[0059] Meanwhile, the tip 120 formed at one end of the applicator 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include two or more protrusions formed continuously in the axial direction. Here, the protrusions may be formed to have an elliptical cross section oblique to the axial direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the protrusions may be formed to have an elliptical cross section perpendicular to the axial direction.

[0060] The protrusions are the part that comes into contact with the skin most when applying a dosage form to the skin or delivering skin stimulation through the tip 120. Therefore, as in one embodiment of the present invention, the protrusions are formed in a shape with an oval cross section, which not only provides a soft massage function to the contacted skin but also provides appropriate stimulation during the rolling massage action, thereby promoting absorption of the dosage form.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a groove may be formed between two or more protrusions. By forming a groove between the protrusions, a sufficient amount of the dosage form can be applied to the tip 120 simply by separating the cap 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention from the container 200. This eliminates the need for the user to stir the cap 100 or repeatedly attach and detach the cap 100 to the container 200 in order to obtain a sufficient amount of the dosage form, and also minimizes loss of the cosmetic dosage form during application.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the tip 120 may include two or more protrusions and one or more grooves, for example, three protrusions and two grooves, but is not limited thereto. The shape of the tip 120 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2.

[0063] The tip 120 according to one embodiment of the present invention may be configured to apply a cosmetic formulation to at least a portion of the facial skin (eg, the skin around the eyes or the skin around the mouth) or to the entire facial skin.

[0064] When configured to apply the cosmetic formulation to a portion of the facial skin, the cosmetic formulation according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a lip serum or an eye serum, etc.

[0065] For example, the user can apply the cosmetic formulation to the skin area around the eyes by dotting it with the tip 120 on which the formulation has been applied, and then use two or more protrusions formed on the tip 120 to massage the skin area from the hair in front of the eye to the tail of the eye, from the tail of the eye to the temple, eyelid, eyebrow, and between the eyebrows, transmitting low frequency and / or vibrations.

[0066] Alternatively, the user can apply the cosmetic formulation to the skin area around the lips in a dotted manner using the tip 120 to which the formulation has been applied, and then use two or more protrusions formed on the tip 120 to massage skin areas such as from the mouth to the nasolabial fold, from under the nose to the mouth, or from the middle of the lower lip to the mouth, thereby transmitting low frequency and / or vibrations.

[0067] However, without being limited thereto, the cosmetic formulation according to one embodiment of the present invention may be configured to be applicable to the entire facial skin.

[0068] One embodiment of a method for using the chip 120 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG.

[0069] The cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has an outer surface with a continuous wave curved shape, and at least a portion of the surface is configured to come into contact with the body to perform a Gua Sha massage. As a result, the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used as a massage tool without a separate Gua Sha tool, even when the user is not applying a formulation.

[0070] For example, a user can perform a facial massage using the curved portion of the cap 100 of the cosmetic device 10. Before or after applying a cosmetic formulation, or regardless of whether or not a cosmetic formulation has been applied, a Gua Sha (Gua Sha) massage can be performed on body parts (temples, parotid glands, nasolabial folds, mouth, corners of the eyes, between the eyebrows, etc.) using only the cosmetic device 10 without any additional equipment.

[0071] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic device 10 has an outer surface with a continuous wave curved shape, which improves the grip when the user holds the cosmetic device 10 and reduces hand fatigue during use. For example, even if the cosmetic device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is used for a long time, the user will not feel any discomfort in the hand, and even users with small hands can use the cosmetic device 10 stably.

[0072] The shape of the outer surface of the cosmetic device 10, which is suitable for performing Gua Sha massage and has the effect of improving grip, is more clearly seen when the cap 100 of the cosmetic device 10 is attached to the container 200 to close the container 200, and will be described in more detail below with reference to Figure 3.

[0073] As such, the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the user to perform various skin care procedures, including applying cosmetic formulations, stimulating the skin, and Gua Sha massage, without the need for separate dedicated devices or multiple components, thereby significantly improving portability and convenience for the user.

[0074] FIG. 2 illustrates an applicator of a cosmetic device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 2, an applicator 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is integrally provided on the cap 100 of the cosmetic device 10, and a tip 120 may be formed on one end opposite to the cap 100.

[0076] The tip 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention can apply the cosmetic formulation contained in the container 200 to the skin of a user. Furthermore, the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can operate to transmit at least one of an electric current and a vibration to the contacted skin through the tip 120 without a separate power switch when at least a portion of the tip 120 and at least a portion of the cap 100 come into contact with the skin.

[0077] Here, the current transmitted to the skin through the tip 120 may be low frequency. By supplying an alternating current similar to the low frequency that flows naturally in the body to the dermis layer of the skin in contact with the tip 120, the production of collagen and elastin is promoted, and the dermis density is increased, ultimately achieving wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and lifting effects.

[0078] In addition, the vibrations transmitted to the skin through the tip 120 may be sonic vibrations. By hitting the skin in contact with the tip 120 with slow vibrations, blood circulation can be promoted, improving skin firmness, and at the same time, promoting easier penetration of the cosmetic formulation applied to the tip 120 into the skin in contact with the tip 120.

[0079] As described above, the applicator 110 that applies the cosmetic formulation and generates skin stimulation such as electric current or vibration is integrally formed in the cosmetic device 10, eliminating the need to bring and assemble a separate device with a skin stimulation function, and allowing the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention to simultaneously apply the formulation and stimulate the skin. This significantly improves portability and convenience for users.

[0080] 2, the tip 120 according to one embodiment of the present invention may include two or more protrusions 121, 122, 123 formed continuously in the axial direction, where the protrusions may be formed to have an elliptical cross section oblique to the axial direction.

[0081] The protrusions 121, 122, and 123 are the parts that come into contact with the skin most when applying a dosage form to the skin or delivering skin stimulation through the tip 120. Therefore, by forming the protrusions 121, 122, and 123 in a shape having an oval cross section as in one embodiment of the present invention, not only can they provide a soft massage function to the contacted skin, but they can also provide appropriate stimulation during the rolling massage action to promote absorption of the dosage form.

[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a groove may be formed between two or more protrusions 121, 122, and 123. By forming the groove between the protrusions 121, 122, and 123, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the dosage form can be sufficiently applied to the tip 120 simply by separating the cap 100 from the container 200. This eliminates the need for the user to stir the cap 100 or repeatedly attach and detach the cap 100 to the container 200 in order to obtain a sufficient dosage form, and further minimizes loss of the cosmetic dosage form during application.

[0083] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tip 120 may include two or more protrusions and one or more grooves, such as, but not limited to, three protrusions and two grooves as shown in FIG.

[0084] FIG. 3 illustrates a cosmetic device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] 3, the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has an outer surface with a continuous wave curved shape, and at least a portion of the surface is configured to come into contact with the body for a Gua Sha massage. As a result, the cosmetic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be used as a massage tool without a separate Gua Sha tool, even when the user is not applying a formulation.

[0086] For example, a user can perform a facial massage using the curved portion of the cap 100 of the cosmetic device 10. Before or after applying a cosmetic formulation, or regardless of whether or not a cosmetic formulation has been applied, a Gua Sha (Gua Sha) massage can be performed on body parts (temples, parotid glands, nasolabial folds, mouth, corners of the eyes, between the eyebrows, etc.) using only the cosmetic device 10 without any additional equipment.

[0087] According to one embodiment shown in Figure 3, the cosmetic device 10 may be designed with a wave-shaped curved surface, such as, but not limited to, about two wavelengths in the length direction on the side, for example, about three ridges and about two valleys.

[0088] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic device 10 has an outer surface with a continuous wave curved shape, which improves the grip when the user holds the cosmetic device 10 and reduces the user's hand fatigue during use. For example, even if the cosmetic device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is used for a long time, the user will not feel any discomfort in the hand, and even users with small hands can use the cosmetic device 10 stably. As such, the cosmetic device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention allows the user to perform various skin care procedures, including applying cosmetic formulations, stimulating the skin, and Gua Sha massage, without the need for a separate dedicated device or multiple components, thereby significantly improving portability and convenience for the user.

[0089] FIG. 4 shows an exploded view of the cap of a cosmetic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0090] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cosmetic device 10 automatically starts operating when the tip 120 and the cap 100 come into contact with the skin, transmitting current and / or vibration to the skin contact surface through the tip 120 without operating a separate power switch. Conversely, when at least one of the tip 120 and the cap 100 is released from skin contact, the device can automatically stop operating without operating a separate power switch.

[0091] For this purpose, the cap 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include at least one circuit board, at least one dry cell battery, and at least one vibration motor 140 built-in.

[0092] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the battery capacity can be set to allow at least about three months of use without battery replacement, assuming that the user uses the skin stimulation function of the cosmetic device 10 for two minutes each day. For example, a 3.7V / 220mAh lithium battery (single cell) can be used.

[0093] Meanwhile, in order to form a closed current loop through skin contact between the cap 100 and the tip 120, the tip 120 may be formed of a conductive material, and the cap 100 may be formed through a deposition and / or plating process using a conductive material. For example, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the tip 120 may be formed of SUS (Steel Use Stainless Steel), and the cap 100 may be formed through chrome deposition and / or chrome plating.

[0094] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a 3.7V dry cell battery voltage can be applied, and the voltage can be amplified within the circuit board to transmit current to the chip 120, but this is not limiting.

[0095] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when power is supplied, a 9,000 rpm motor can transmit vibrations to the skin at 150 times per second, but this is not limiting.

[0096] Specifically, the vibration motor 140 is operated by a dry cell that is activated by skin contact of the cap 100 and the tip 120, and vibrations can be transmitted through the tip 120 to the user's skin that is in contact with the tip 120.

[0097] In this way, the skin stimulation function is automatically activated simply by skin contact without a separate power source, minimizing user operations such as charging the cosmetic device 10 and button operation, allowing users to perform skin care easily and conveniently.
