DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

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

[0013] (First embodiment) The cosmetic device 1 introduces ionized cosmetic ingredients impregnated in the liquid-impregnated material 200 into the treatment area by applying electricity while the liquid-impregnated material 200 is in contact with the user's skin surface (hereinafter referred to as the "treatment area"). The cosmetic device 1 may also remove waste products from the treatment area.

[0014] The liquid-impregnated material 200 is constructed 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, a sponge, a gel body, or a nonwoven fabric. The liquid impregnated into the material of the liquid-impregnated material 200 is a conductive liquid, such as an ionized component solution (electrolyte solution), a lotion, a cleansing liquid, or water. The liquid impregnated into the material of the liquid-impregnated material 200 may be a mixed solution of the above liquids. 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 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 2 includes a main body casing 4 and a head unit 5.

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

[0017] In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the main body casing 4 is referred to as the up-down direction, and the direction in which the head unit 5 is provided within the up-down direction is referred to as the "upper side," and the opposite side of the up-down direction is referred to as the "lower side." Furthermore, when the beauty device 1 is used to treat a treatment area, the side of the main body casing 4 facing the treatment area is referred to as the "front," and the opposite side of the front is referred to as the "rear" side, in the description. Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the front-to-rear direction is referred to as the left-right direction, and one of the left-to-right directions is referred to as the "left side" and the other as the "right side." The left-to-right direction may also be referred to as the side.

[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 that indicates 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 part having a polarity opposite to that of the electrode part 10 described below. The counter electrode part is provided in a position that the user's hand touches when the user holds the main body part 2. For example, the counter electrode part is provided on the upper end side of the main body casing 4 and on the rear end side of the main body casing 4. The counter electrode part is made of a conductive material. The counter electrode part may also be provided on the head part 5.

[0020] The head portion 5 has a circular shape when viewed from the treatment area side. However, the shape of the head portion 5 when viewed from the treatment area side does not have to be circular.

[0021] The head unit 5 is provided on the tip side of the main body casing 4, specifically on the upper end side of the main body casing 4. The head unit 5 is provided so as to protrude diagonally upward from the front surface of the main body casing 4. The head unit 5 may also be provided so as to protrude forward from the tip side of the main body casing 4. The head unit 5 may also be provided so as to protrude upward from the tip of the main body casing 4.

[0022] The head unit 5 applies beauty treatment to the area of ​​the user to be treated. The head unit 5 comprises an electrode unit 10, an engagement unit 11, and a stopper 12. The electrode unit 10 is provided at the tip of the head unit 5 in the direction in which it protrudes from the main body unit 2. The electrode unit 10 is made of a conductive material.

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

[0024] The engaging portion 11 is provided with a guide portion 11a that protrudes along the protruding direction of the head portion 5. The guide portion 11a is inserted into a guide hole 20c of the cover body 3, which will be described later.

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

[0026] The stoppers 12 are provided rearward of the engaging portions 11. Specifically, the stoppers 12 are provided rearward of the engaging portions 11. The stoppers 12 come into contact with the bottom surface 3a (see FIG. 4), which is the surface of the cover body 3 opposite the treatment area, and restrict the cover body 3 from moving toward the main body 2, specifically, the main body casing 4.

[0027] The engaging portion 11 and the stopper 12 may be provided on the main casing 4. The stopper 12 may also be provided on the main casing 4.

[0028] The cover body 3 is attached to the main body 2. The cover body 3 places the liquid-impregnated material 200 on the head part 5. Specifically, the cover body 3 places the liquid-impregnated material 200 on the head part 5 so that the liquid-impregnated material 200 covers the electrode part 10 of the head part 5. The cover body 3 will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 2 is a view of the cover body 3 as seen from the treatment site side. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along III-III in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a view of the cover body 3 as 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. A first opening 15a and a second opening 15b are formed in the cover body 3. The first opening 15a is an opening on the main body casing 4 side. The second opening 15b is an opening on the treatment area side. The first opening 15a and the second opening 15b are larger than the electrode unit 10 and the mounting surface 10a of the electrode unit 10 (see FIG. 5).

[0030] The cover body 3 has cutout holes 16. Two cutout holes 16 are formed. The cutout holes 16 are formed so as to open toward the main body casing 4. 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 retaining portions 18 are formed. Specifically, four retaining portions 18 are provided. The retaining portions 18 are provided on the main casing 4 side. The retaining portions 18 are provided so as to protrude into the notched holes 16 along the circumferential direction of the cover body 3. Two retaining portions 18 are provided for each notched hole 16. That is, a pair of retaining portions 18 are provided for each notched hole 16. The pair of retaining portions 18 are provided so as to protrude in opposite directions in the circumferential direction of the cover body 3. That is, the pair of retaining portions 18 protrude so as to reduce the opening width of the notched holes 16.

[0033] The holding portion 18 holds the liquid-impregnated material 200 when the liquid-impregnated material 200 is inserted into the notched hole 16. For example, when the holding portion 18 is placed on a horizontal surface such as a desk with the liquid-impregnated material 200 inserted into the notched hole 16, the surface of the holding portion 18 on the treatment site side (the second opening 15b side) comes into contact with the liquid-impregnated material 200 and holds the liquid-impregnated material 200. 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-impregnated material 200 inserted into the notched hole 16, the surface of the holding portion 18 on the main body casing 4 side comes into contact with the horizontal surface. The holding portion 18 may be provided so as to protrude toward the main body casing 4 side.

[0034] The pressing portion 19 is provided on the treatment area side. The pressing portion 19 is provided at the end portion on the treatment area side. Specifically, the pressing portion 19 is provided at the second opening 15b. The pressing portion 19 is provided so as to protrude inward from the inner wall of the cover body 3. A plurality of pressing portions 19 are provided. Specifically, two pressing portions 19 are provided. The pressing portion 19 is provided at the end of the second opening 15b in the left-right direction. Note that two or more pressing portions 19 may be provided. Furthermore, the pressing portion 19 may be formed around the entire periphery of the second opening 15b. The pressing portion 19 is formed so as to hide the fixing portion 20 when the cover body 3 is not attached to the main body 2 and the cover body 3 is viewed from the second opening 15b side.

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

[0036] The fixing portion 20 includes an engagement hole 20a, a step portion 20b, and a guide hole 20c. The engagement hole 20a is formed so that a portion of the inner wall of the cover body 3 is recessed outward. The formation of the engagement hole 20a results in the formation of the step portion 20b. The step portion 20b is formed closer to the main body casing 4 than the engagement hole 20a. When the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5, the engagement portion 11 of the head portion 5 is inserted into the engagement hole 20a.

[0037] When the engaging portion 11 of the head portion 5 is inserted into the engaging hole 20a and a force is applied to the cover body 3 toward the treatment area, the step portion 20b engages with the engaging portion 11, thereby preventing the cover body 3 from coming off the head portion 5. Furthermore, when the engaging portion 11 of the head portion 5 is inserted into the engaging hole 20a and a force is applied to the cover body 3 in the circumferential direction of the cover body 3, the step portion 20b abuts against the circumferential wall that forms the engaging hole 20a, thereby preventing the cover body 3 from rotating relative to the head portion 5.

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

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

[0040] The protective portion 21 is provided on the outside of the fixing portion 20. The protective portion 21 is provided so as to cover the side wall of the cover body 3 on which the fixing portion 20 is formed. A gap 22 is formed between the protective portion 21 and the side wall at the location where the fixing portion 20 is formed. In other words, a double wall is provided on the outside of the fixing portion 20.

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

[0042] When the cover body 3 is attached to the head unit 5, first, the liquid-impregnated material 200 is inserted into the notch hole 16 of the cover body 3. The liquid-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-impregnated material 200 is placed on a horizontal surface such as a desk, the holding portion 18 separates the liquid-impregnated material 200 from the horizontal surface. This prevents the liquid from adhering to the horizontal surface.

[0043] Next, the cover body 3 holding the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 is attached to the head part 5. Specifically, the head part 5 is positioned so that the guide part 11a is inserted into the guide hole 20c of the cover body 3. At this time, the user can easily insert the guide part 11a into the guide hole 20c by bringing the cover body 3 close to the head part 5 so that the positions of the protection part 21 and the stopper 12 are aligned 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, causing the step portion 20b of the cover body 3 to come into contact with the engagement portion 11 of the head portion 5. Then, the cover body 3 is pressed toward the head portion 5, causing the step portion 20b to deform outward and climb over the engagement portion 11. After climbing over the engagement portion 11, the step portion 20b returns to its original shape, causing the step portion 20b to engage with the engagement portion 11, and the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5. When the step portion 20b climbs over the engagement portion 11, a sound is generated, allowing the user to confirm that the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5.

[0045] The cover body 3 can be attached to the head portion 5 even when rotated 180 degrees in the circumferential direction. In other words, the cover body 3 can be attached to the head portion 5 even when the left-right orientation is reversed.

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

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

[0048] When the cover body 3 is attached to the head unit 5, the electrode unit 10 protrudes toward the treatment site beyond the cover body 3. Therefore, the liquid-impregnated material 200 held by the cover body 3 is curved by the electrode unit 10 so as to protrude toward the treatment site. In other words, the liquid-impregnated material 200 is pressed toward the treatment site by the electrode unit 10. The liquid-impregnated material 200 also covers the entire electrode unit 10 on the treatment site side.

[0049] Therefore, when the solution-impregnated material 200 comes into contact with the treatment area, the contact area between the solution-impregnated material 200 in contact with the electrode section 10 and the treatment area becomes large. The cosmetic device 1 can perform treatment using the entire electrode section 10.

[0050] When the cover body 3 is removed from the head part 5, the protective part 21 is pushed up toward the second opening 15b. As the protective part 21 is pushed up toward the second opening 15b, the step part 20b is deformed outward, and the engagement between the step part 20b and the engaging part 11 is released. This allows the cover body 3 to be removed from the head part 5.

[0051] Since the protective part 21 is provided on the outside of the fixing part 20, the step part 20b is easily deformed outward when the protective part 21 is pushed up toward the second opening 15b. That is, the user can push up the protective part 21 with a small force to release the engagement between the step part 20b and the engagement part 11, and remove the cover body 3 from the head part 5.

[0052] For example, the liquid-impregnated material 200 is pulled out from the notch hole 16 of the cover body 3 that has been detached from the head portion 5, thereby removing the liquid-impregnated material 200 from the cover body 3. The user can remove the liquid-impregnated material 200 from the cover body 3 without touching the center of the used liquid-impregnated material 200.

[0053] When the cover body 3 with the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 inserted into the cutout hole 16 is viewed from the treatment area side, as shown in Fig. 6, the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is located more inward than the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200. That is, the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is located more inward than both ends 18a of the holding portion 18. Specifically, the inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 is located more inward than 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 cutout hole 16, viewed from the treatment area side.

[0054] When the cover body 3 is attached to the head unit 5 while holding the liquid-impregnated material 200, and the liquid-impregnated material 200 is pressed toward the treatment area by the electrode unit 10, the left and right ends of the liquid-impregnated material 200 inside the cover body 3 come into contact with the retaining portions 19. This prevents the left and right ends of the liquid-impregnated material 200 inside the cover body 3 from being turned up, even when the liquid-impregnated material 200 is pressed toward the treatment area by the electrode unit 10.

[0055] Furthermore, when the cover body 3 with the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 inserted into the cutout holes 16 is viewed from the treatment site side, the fixing parts 20 are located outside the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200. In other words, the fixing parts 20 are provided outside both ends 18a of the holding part 18. Specifically, the fixing parts 20 are provided outside both ends 18a of the holding part 18 in the left-right direction.

[0056] Therefore, when the cover body 3 is attached to the head part 5 while holding the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200, the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 is prevented from being pinched between the fixing part 20 and the engaging part 11. In other words, when the cover body 3 is attached to the head part 5 while holding the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200, the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 is prevented from being caught.

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

[0058] Therefore, when the cover body 3 is attached to the head portion 5 while holding the liquid-impregnated material 200, the left and right ends of the liquid-impregnated material 200 inside the cover body 3 are prevented from rolling up, and the liquid-impregnated material 200 is prevented from being pinched between the fixing portion 20 and the engaging portion 11.

[0059] The beauty device 1 comprises a main body 2 having a head 5 at its tip end for applying beauty treatment to the area to be treated of the user, and a cover 3 that is attached to the main body 2 and attaches a liquid-impregnated material 200 to the head 5. The cover 3 comprises a holder 18 that holds the liquid-impregnated material 200. The cover 3 is attached to the main body 2 with the liquid-impregnated material 200 held by the holder 18.

[0060] As a result, when the cover body 3 is attached to the main body 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from shifting relative to the head unit 5. Furthermore, when the cover body 3 is attached to the main body 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from rolling up. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can attach the cover body 3 to the main body 2 with the electrode unit 10 provided on the head unit 5 entirely covered with the liquid-impregnated material 200, for example. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can reduce incorrect attachment of the liquid-impregnated material 200. For example, the user can easily attach the cover body 3 to the main body 2 with the electrode unit 10 entirely covered with the liquid-impregnated material 200.

[0061] The cover body 3 is cylindrical and is attached to the main body 2 with the liquid-impregnated material 200 exposed from the second opening 15b on the treatment area side. A notched hole 16, into which the liquid-impregnated material 200 is inserted, is formed in the cover body 3 on the side opposite to the second opening 15b. The holding portion 18 protrudes into the notched hole 16 and holds the liquid-impregnated material 200 inserted in the notched hole 16.

[0062] As a result, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid-impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the holding portion 18 of the beauty device 1 does not protrude toward the treatment area, preventing the cover body 3 from protruding toward the treatment area. This prevents the beauty device 1 from contacting the treatment area with the cover body 3. Furthermore, the beauty device 1 has an improved design because the cover body 3 does not have a portion that protrudes toward the treatment area. Furthermore, the user can attach the liquid-impregnated material 200 to the cover body 3 through the cutout hole 16, making it easy to attach the liquid-impregnated material 200 to the cover body 3.

[0063] The cover body 3 is configured so that the liquid-impregnated material 200 is held by the holding portion 18 and, when not attached to the head portion 5 and placed on a horizontal surface, the liquid-impregnated material 200 does not come into contact with the horizontal surface.

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

[0065] The cover body 3 is provided with a retaining portion 19 that protrudes inward from the inner wall of the cover body 3.

[0066] As a result, the beauty device 1 can hold down the liquid-impregnated material 200 with the holding portion 19, and when the cover body 3 is attached to the main body portion 2, the liquid-impregnated material 200 can be prevented from rolling up.

[0067] An 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 use the retaining portion 19 to hold down the end of the liquid-impregnated material 200 held by the holding portion 18, thereby preventing the liquid-impregnated material 200 from rolling up.

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

[0070] As a result, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from leaking out of the cover body 3 toward the treatment area by using the stopper 12 to restrict the cover body 3 holding the liquid-impregnated material 200 from moving toward the main body 2.

[0071] The cover body 3 includes a fixing portion 20 that is provided on the inner wall of the cover body 3 and fixes the cover body 3 to the main body portion 2.

[0072] This allows the beauty device 1 to prevent the cover body 3 attached to the main body 2 from rotating. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from twisting after the cover body 3 is attached to the main body 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] As a result, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid-impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the cosmetic device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from being pinched between the fixing part 20 and the main body 2. Therefore, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid-impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the cosmetic device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from being displaced.

[0075] The cover body 3 includes a pressing portion 19 that protrudes inward from the inner wall of the cover body 3. The fixing portion 20 is provided outside an inner surface 19a of the pressing portion 19 when viewed from the treatment area side.

[0076] As a result, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid-impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 held down by the holding part 19 from being pinched between the fixing part 20 and the main body 2. Therefore, when the cover body 3 holding the liquid-impregnated material 200 is attached to the main body 2, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-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 to fix the cover body 3 to the main body portion 2, and a protective portion 21 protruding outward from the outer wall of the cover body 3. The protective portion 21 is provided on the outside of the fixing portion 20.

[0078] As a result, when attaching the cover body 3 to the main body 2, the user can attach the cover body 3 to the main body 2 by using the fixing portion 20 as a guide by bringing the cover body 3 close to the main body 2 using the position of the protective portion 21 as a marker. In other words, the user can easily align the position of the cover body 3 with respect to the main body 2. Furthermore, when the cover body 3 is removed from the main body 2, the protective portion 21 is pushed up, which transmits force to the fixing portion 20 located inside the protective portion 21, and the fixation of the cover body 3 to the main body 2 is released with a small force. In other words, the user can remove the cover body 3 from the main body 2 with a small force.

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

[0080] As a result, the beauty device 1 can protect the fixed part 20 with the protective part 21. Therefore, for example, when the cover body 3 is dropped with the fixed part 20 side facing downward, the beauty device 1 can reduce the impact on the fixed part 20.

[0081] In the above embodiment, an example in which four holding portions 18 are provided on the cover body 3 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. There may be two holding portions 30, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. 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 cutout 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] This allows the cover body 32 to hold the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 with a small number of holding portions 30.

[0084] The two holding portions 30 may be provided in one cutout 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] Furthermore, the holder 33 may be provided with a protruding portion 34 that protrudes toward the second opening 15b (the treatment area), as shown in Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a cover body 35 according to a modified example. In this way, the cover body 35 can prevent the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 from falling off due to the protruding portion 34.

[0086] The cover body 3 may be attached to the head portion 5 using a magnet. For example, a magnet may be provided on at least one of the cover body 3 and the head portion 5, and the cover body 3 may be fixed to the head portion 5 by magnetic force. Alternatively, 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 by engaging with the head portion 5. For example, a female thread may be formed on the cover body 3, and a male thread may be formed on the head portion 5. Alternatively, an L-shaped groove may be formed on one of the cover body 3 or the head portion 5, and a protrusion 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 be subjected to an anti-slip treatment on at least a portion of the surface that contacts the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200, specifically, on at least a portion of the surface that faces the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200. For example, the anti-slip treatment is applied to the surface of the holding part 18 that faces the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200. The anti-slip treatment is, for example, a treatment that forms irregularities on the surface. The anti-slip treatment should be able to increase the frictional force with the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 compared to before the treatment.

[0088] This allows the cosmetic device 1 to prevent the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 from falling off the cover body 3.

[0089] The lengths of the two cutout holes 16 in the left-right direction may be different. For example, the cutout hole 16 with the shorter length in the left-right direction is formed so that it is shorter than the length of the liquid-impregnated material 200 to be inserted therein. As a result, the liquid-impregnated material 200 inserted into the cutout hole 16 with the shorter length in the left-right direction is held in a state compressed in the left-right direction by the cover body 3. Therefore, the beauty device 1 can prevent the liquid-impregnated material 200 from falling out of the cover body 3. When removing the liquid-impregnated material 200 held in the cover body 3 from the cover body 3, the user can easily remove the liquid-impregnated material 200 from the cover body 3 by pulling out the liquid-impregnated material 200 from the cutout hole 16 with the longer length in the left-right direction.

[0090] As shown in Fig. 10, side walls 36a forming the left and right ends of cutout hole 36 may be inclined surfaces that are inclined so that the length of cutout hole 36 in the left and right direction increases toward second opening 15b. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a portion of cover body 37 according to a modified example.

[0091] As a result, the left and right ends of the liquid-impregnated material 200 inserted into the cutout hole 36 are guided and held along the side wall 36a toward the treatment site. Therefore, when the cover body 37 is attached to the head part 5 (see FIG. 1), the liquid-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is prevented from moving within the cutout hole 36, and the liquid-impregnated material 200 is prevented from rolling up.

[0092] 11, side walls 38a forming the left and right ends of cutout hole 38 may be inclined surfaces that are inclined so that the length of cutout hole 38 in the left and right direction becomes shorter toward second opening 15b. Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a part of cover body 39 according to a modified example.

[0093] As a result, when the cover body 39 is attached to the head unit 5 (see FIG. 1) and the liquid-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is pressed toward the treatment site by the electrode unit 10 (see FIG. 1), the liquid-impregnated material 200 deforms along the side wall 38a. Therefore, the liquid-impregnated material 200 deforms so that the entire liquid-impregnated material 200 gently protrudes toward the treatment site. Therefore, the liquid impregnated at the end of the liquid-impregnated material 200 is likely to move toward the electrode unit 10. For example, if the amount of liquid impregnated in the liquid-impregnated material 200 in contact with the electrode unit 10 decreases due to treatment, the liquid impregnated at the end of the liquid-impregnated material 200 is likely to move toward the electrode unit 10. In this way, the liquid impregnated in the liquid-impregnated material 200 is effectively used to perform treatment.

[0094] Note that the side walls 40a forming the left and right ends of the cutout hole 40 may be curved surfaces, as shown in Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a schematic diagram showing a portion of a cover body 41 according to a modified example. The side walls 40a are initially inclined toward the second opening 15b so that the length of the cutout hole 40 in the left and right direction increases, and then are inclined so that the length of the cutout hole 40 in the left and right direction decreases.

[0095] Furthermore, an insertion hole 42a may be formed in the cutout hole 42, as shown in Fig. 13. That is, the cutout hole 42 may be formed to include the insertion hole 42a. Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram showing a cutout hole 42 according to a modified example. The insertion hole 42a is formed so that the left-right end of the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 (see Fig. 1) can be inserted therein. The insertion hole 42a has a smaller width than the other cutout 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 end of the holding portion 44 in the left-right direction becomes the tip of the insertion hole 42a in the left-right direction.

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

[0097] The head unit 5 may be formed so that the area perpendicular to the protruding direction of the head unit 5 decreases toward the treatment area. That is, the head unit 5 may be formed, for example, in a trapezoidal shape when viewed from the side. This allows the head unit 5 to guide the attachment of the cover body 3 when the cover body 3 is attached to the head unit 5.

[0098] The above-described modified examples 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, etc. The above-described modified examples can also be applied to other embodiments described below.

[0099] (Second embodiment) Next, a beauty device 1 according to a second embodiment will be described. Here, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and descriptions of the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be omitted. In the beauty device 1 according to the second embodiment, the cover body 50 is different from the cover body 3 of the first embodiment. 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. A liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is inserted into the through hole 51.

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

[0102] The cosmetic device 1 holds the liquid-impregnated material 200 by the holding portion 52 when the liquid-impregnated material 200 is inserted into the through-hole 51, thereby preventing the liquid-impregnated material 200 from falling off the cover body 50.

[0103] 15, the cover body 54 may have one through hole 51 and one notch hole 55. The liquid-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) is inserted into the through hole 51 and the notch hole 55. FIG. 15 is a side view of the cover body 54 according to the modified example.

[0104] (Third embodiment) Next, a beauty device 1 according to a third embodiment will be described. Here, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and explanations of the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be omitted. In the beauty device 1 according to the third embodiment, the cover body 60 is different from the cover body 3 of the first embodiment. The cover body 60 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 16 and 17. Fig. 16 is a view of the cover body 60 according to the third embodiment as seen from the treatment area side. Fig. 17 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XVII-XVII of Fig. 16.

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

[0106] A liquid-impregnated material 201 that matches the shape of the inner wall of the cover body 60 is placed on the cover body 60 and is supported by the holder 52. For example, the shape of the liquid-impregnated material 201 is circular. The liquid-impregnated material 201 is housed in the cover body 60.

[0107] When the liquid-impregnated material 201 is housed in the cover body 60 and the cover body 60 is attached to the main body 2 (see FIG. 1), it is possible to prevent the end of the liquid-impregnated material 201 from being exposed to the outside of the beauty device 1 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, the design of the beauty device 1 can be improved when the liquid-impregnated material 201 is attached.

[0108] Furthermore, the liquid-impregnated material 201 material housed in the cover body 60 can be sold as an exclusive product for the beauty device 1. In other words, the beauty device 1 can contribute to promoting sales of the liquid-impregnated material 201 material, which is a consumable item.

[0109] (Fourth embodiment) Next, a beauty device 1 according to a fourth embodiment will be described. Here, differences from the first embodiment will be described, and descriptions of the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be omitted. In the beauty device 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the cover body 70 is different from the cover body 3 of the first embodiment. 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.

[0111] The first cover 71 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The first cover 71 includes a fixing portion 20 and a protective portion 21. The first cover 71 is attached to the head portion 5 (see FIG. 1). The first cover 71 has cutout holes 73. Two cutout holes 73 are formed. The cutout holes 73 are formed on the upper end side and the lower end side of the first cover 71.

[0112] The second cover 72 is formed in a cylindrical shape. The second cover 72 is a separate body from the first cover 71. The second cover 72 is provided closer to the treatment area than the first cover 71. The second cover 72 is attached to the first cover 71.

[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. The engagement mechanism is, for example, an L-shaped groove and a protrusion that engages with the groove. The second cover 72 may be attached to the first cover 71 by, for example, a magnet. The second cover 72 may be attached by meshing with the first cover 71. For example, a female thread is formed in the first cover 71 and a male thread is formed in the second cover 72. The second cover 72 may be attached to the first cover 71 by a hinge or the like so as to be rotatable relative to the first cover 71.

[0114] The second cover 72 includes a retaining 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 notched hole 73 on the second cover 72 side. The protruding portion 75 is inserted into the notched hole 73 when the second cover 72 is attached to the first cover 71.

[0115] In the cover body 70, the second cover 72 is attached to the first cover 71 with the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 (see FIG. 1) inserted into the cutout hole 73 of the first cover 71. The liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 is disposed between the first cover 71 and the second cover 72. The liquid-agent-impregnated material 200 is supported by the first cover 71 on the main casing 4 (see FIG. 1) side of the cutout hole 73. In other words, the first cover 71 on the main casing 4 side of the cutout hole 73 is a holding portion 76 that holds the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200. The first cover 71 and the second cover 72 may sandwich the liquid-agent-impregnated material 200.

[0116] Because the cover body 70 has the protective part 21 provided on the first cover 71, when the protective part 21 is pushed up and the cover body 70 is removed from the head part 5, the first cover 71 is removed from the head part 5 with the second cover 72 attached to it. Therefore, the user can remove the first cover 71 and the second cover 72 together from the head part 5.

[0117] The cover body 3 includes a first cover 71 and a second cover 72 that is separate from the first cover 71, is provided closer to the treatment site than the first cover 71, and is attached to the first cover 71. The liquid-impregnated material 200 is disposed between the first cover 71 and the second cover 72. The holding portion 76 is provided on the first cover 71 and holds the liquid-impregnated material 200.

[0118] This allows the user to place the liquid-impregnated material 200 on the first cover 71 with the second cover 72 removed, making it easy to position the liquid-impregnated material 200 relative to the cover body 70.
