[0008] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. The first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1, 2, 3A, and 3B. In Figure 1, 10 is a bandage-type skin treatment system, comprising a stretchable rectangular cloth body 11. This cloth body 11 may be a rubber layer or a cloth body made of stretchable fibers. The width of the cloth body 11 is, for example, about 2 cm. The length in this embodiment is about 6 cm, but it may be even shorter, about 3 cm. The length and width can be arbitrarily set according to the part of the body being used. Of course, this system can be applied to any part of the body, not just the face.

[0009] Elastic drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, and 15e are arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the fabric body 11. The shape of the elastic drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, and 15e is as shown in Figure 2. That is, an elastic rod-shaped body is deformed into a mountain shape, and the tips of both legs 15a1, 15a2, 15b1, 15b2, 15c1, 15c2, etc. are bent along the longitudinal direction of the fabric body 11 so as to follow the surface of the fabric body 11. In this embodiment, the mountain shape protrudes upward from the fabric body 11, and the tips of both legs extend in opposite directions. However, the tips of both legs may extend in the same direction. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 1, the tips of the ends of both legs 15a1, 15a2, 15b1, 15b2, 15c1, 15c2, 15d1, 15d2, 15e1, 15e2 are positioned by entering, for example, bag-shaped locking parts 17a1, 17a2, 17b1, 17b2, 17c1, 17c2, 17d2, 17e1, 17e2 attached to the fabric body 11. In addition, the V-shaped tops of each stretchable drive member 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e are fixed and connected to the connecting body 16, stabilizing their posture. Each stretchable drive member 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e and the connecting body 16 may be integrally molded from, for example, a plastic material.

[0010] Also, as shown in FIG. 3A, an adhesive layer 12 is formed on the lower surface of the fabric body 11, and this adhesive layer 12 is covered with an anti-adhesion sheet 350 before use.

[0011] Also, as shown in FIG. 3A, before use, the skin treatment system 10 is equipped with a tunnel-shaped lock member (which may also be referred to as a cap) 300 that covers the stretchable drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e from the side of the connecting body 16. This lock member 300 has no stretchability and compresses the legs of the stretchable drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e in a direction to bring them closer together. For this reason, it maintains the state of compressing the legs of the stretchable drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e in a direction to bring them closer together.

[0012] During use, as shown in FIG. 3B, the anti-adhesion sheet 350 is removed by the user. Then, the adhesive layer 12 provided on the lower surface of the fabric body 11 is exposed. The user attaches the adhesive layer 12 to the wrinkled part of the skin 60. And the lock member 300 is removed. As a result, the stretchable drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e act in a direction to spread the legs by elastic force. For this reason, the stretchable fabric body 11 acts to stretch the wrinkled part.

[0013] This system does not perform the above actions instantaneously, but the strength of the stretchable drive members 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, 15e, the strength of the fabric body 11, etc. are selected so that they act over time. For example, it is desirable to attach the adhesive layer 41 side of the above skin treatment system to the skin at bedtime and remove the skin treatment system at wake-up time. 350 is an anti-adhesion sheet (greaseproof paper) before use, which prevents the system from being inadvertently attached to irrelevant places.

[0014] FIGS. 4A and 4B show other embodiments. In Figures 4A and 4B, 401 and 402 are first and second supports arranged parallel to each other with a gap between them, and are molded from plastic material. In this embodiment, the first and second supports 401 and 402 are elongated flat plates with thickness, but the shape when viewed from the longitudinal direction is not limited to a flat plate with a square cross-section; the cross-section may also be elliptical.

[0015] Multiple expandable drive members are arranged in the longitudinal direction between support 401 and support 402. In this example, the expandable drive members are, for example, U-shaped members (rebound members) 151, 152, and 153, arranged at equal intervals (U-shaped when viewed in plan). The outer sides of the legs of each rebound member are fixed to the sides of support 401 and support 402 by a locking structure.

[0016] Figure 4A shows a representative part of the retractable drive member 153 (part of the locking structure) 150 (see the part enclosed by the dashed line). For example, a projection 5a that protrudes laterally is integrally molded at the tip of the leg of the repulsion member 153. This projection 5a fits into the engagement portion of the support 402 to position the retractable drive member 153. The legs of the other retractable drive members 151, 152, and 153 are locked to the corresponding supports 401 and 402 in a similar structure. It should be noted that this embodiment is not limited to this one, and the structure may be attached with adhesive, or the supports 401 and 402 and the retractable drive members 151, 152, and 153 may be integrally molded from, for example, a plastic material.

[0017] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4B, rubber layers 21 and 22 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the first and second supports 401 and 402. Rubber layers 21 and 22 are bonded to supports 401 and 402 with adhesive. Thus, rubber layers 21 and 22 form a rebound member placement chamber 60 between supports 401 and 402 for positioning the aforementioned rebound member.

[0018] In this specification, the direction in which the support 401 and support 402 extend is described as the planar direction, and the direction perpendicular to this planar direction is described as the vertical direction.

[0019] In the illustrated state, the expandable drive members 151, 152, and 153 are compressed in the direction of the arrows W1 and W2 (plane) shown in the figure (pressed in the direction that the legs are moving closer), that is, they are in a state where energy is stored. In this state (before use), the elastic force of the rubber layers 21 and 22 is in a neutral state. In other words, the elastic force of the rubber layers 21 and 22 is not exerting a force in the direction that pulls the support 401 and support 402 together.

[0020] Furthermore, the lower rubber layer 22 may be omitted. Also, the rubber layers 21 and 22 do not have to be in the form of a sheet, but may be made up of many threads. Alternatively, the layer may have both thread-like and sheet-like components. In this composite type of rubber layer, the sheet-like portion may be used as the part that is adhered to the support 401 and support 402, and the thread-like portion may be located between the support 401 and support 402.

[0021] Figure 4A shows the state in which the expandable drive members (rebound members) 151, 152, and 153 are displaced (compressed) against the elastic force.

[0022] Figure 4B also shows the state in which the elastic drive members 151, 152, and 153 are displaced (compressed) against the elastic force, and this state indicates that the adhesive layers 41 and 42 are attached to the skin 600. When the locked state of this system is released, the elastic drive members 151, 152, and 153 are activated, and the first support 401 and the second support 402 are subjected to a force that moves them away from each other. As a result, the wrinkles 61, 62, 63, and 64 that had formed on the skin 600 are stretched out.

[0023] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing the locked state of the skin treatment system before it is used. Before the system is used, the first support 401 and the second support 402 are locked by the locking member 300 to prevent the gap between them from widening due to the force of the repulsive member. That is, the locking member 300 is rigid and covers the rubber layer 21 side of the upper surfaces of the first support 401 and the second support 402. It is equipped with locking parts 301 and 302 that engage with the outer edges of the first support 401 and the second support 402 in the longitudinal direction. For this reason, before the system is used, both legs of the expandable drive members 151, 152, and 153 are maintained in a compressed state. The locking member 300 is shown in sheet form, but various embodiments are possible, not limited to a sheet form. In short, any means of restricting the gap between the supports 401 and 402 from widening is acceptable.

[0024] On the other hand, the adhesive layers 41 and 42 are fitted with an anti-adhesion sheet (oil-based paper) 350 to prevent the system from being inadvertently attached to unrelated locations.

[0025] When this system is used, the anti-adhesion sheet 350 is first peeled off. Next, the adhesive layers 41 and 42 of this system are applied to the target area of ​​skin, as shown in Figure 4B.

[0026] Next, the locking member 300 is detached from the main body. This causes the compressed expandable drive members 151, 152, and 153 to begin operating in the stretching direction. As a result, the wrinkled areas 61, 62, 63, and 64 of the skin are stretched out.

[0027] In this embodiment as well, the strength of the stretchable drive member and the rubber layer are selected so that the stretching action described above is not instantaneous but takes time to act. For example, the skin treatment system may be attached to the skin while sleeping and removed when waking up. The shape and material of the stretchable drive members 151, 152, and 153 are not limited and can be implemented in various forms.

[0028] Figure 6 shows another example of an expandable drive member between supports 401 and 402. This example uses expandable drive members 151, 152, and 153 of a helical spring.

[0029] Figures 7 and 8 show other embodiments. This example aims to stretch wrinkles in a circular or elliptical direction. Specifically, it uses four supports in a planar direction: supports 401 and 402 in the front-to-back direction (x direction) and supports 403 and 404 in the left-to-right direction (y direction), forming a system that surrounds a plane. Note that the number of supports is not limited to this embodiment.

[0030] In this embodiment, the X and Y directions are considered planes, and the direction perpendicular to the planes is considered the up and down direction. In this embodiment, when viewed in a ring state (plan view), the repulsion members 71, 72, 73, and 74 are arranged between support 401 and support 403, between support 403 and support 402, between support 402 and support 404, and between support 404 and support 401, respectively. The ends of the repulsion members that connect to each other and the ends of the support members are bonded together, for example, with an adhesive.

[0031] Figure 7 shows the state in which the repulsive members 71, 72, 73, and 74 are compressed and energy is stored, while Figure 8 shows the state in which the repulsive members 71, 72, 73, and 74 are stretched and energy is released.

[0032] Furthermore, rubber members 411 are provided on the upper planes in the x and y directions of each support 4001, 42, 403, and 404. In other words, rubber sheets are attached to the upper surfaces of supports 401, 402, 403, and 404. In addition, adhesive layers 413 are formed on the lower planes in the x and y directions of each support 401, 402, 403, and 404.

[0033] In the state shown in Figure 7, the elastic force of the rubber layer 411 is neutral. That is, the elastic force of the rubber layer 411 is not exerting any force to pull the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404 towards the center. In the state shown in Figure 8, the repulsive members 71, 72, 73, and 74 are stretched, and in this case, the adhesive layer 413 on the underside of the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404 spreads out in all directions, stretching the wrinkled area in the center.

[0034] Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram showing the locked state of the skin treatment system before it is used. Before the system is used, the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404 are surrounded and locked by the locking member 360 to prevent them from spreading apart due to the force of the repulsive members. That is, the locking member 360 is rigid and covers the rubber layer 411 side of the upper surface of the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404. It is equipped with locking parts 361 and 362 that engage with, for example, the outer edges in the longitudinal direction of supports 403 and 401. For this reason, before the system is used, the repulsive members 71, 72, 73, and 74 are maintained in a compressed state. In other words, the locking member 360 is, for example, cap-shaped and restricts the spreading of the supports.

[0035] On the other hand, the adhesive layer 413 side has an anti-adhesion sheet (oil-based paper) 351 attached to it, preventing the system from being inadvertently attached to unrelated areas.

[0036] When this system is used, the anti-adhesion sheet 351 is first peeled off. Next, the adhesive layer 413 of this system is applied to the target area of ​​skin.

[0037] Next, the locking member 360 is detached from the main body. As a result, the compressed rebound members 71, 72, 73, and 74 begin to act in the direction of stretching (changing from the state in Figure 7 to the state in Figure 8). Then, the wrinkled area of ​​the skin surrounded by the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404 and the rebound members 71, 72, 73, and 74 is stretched out.

[0038] Figure 10 shows another embodiment. In this system, multiple elongated, for example, plastic rods (supports) 41 are arranged in parallel at intervals. Between each support, a dry, hygroscopic member 31 (for example, cotton, dried kelp, etc.) is placed along the support. This hygroscopic member corresponds to the expandable drive member in the previous embodiment. The support and the hygroscopic member 1 are held together by a fabric body 11 that is sewn alternately on the bottom surface (support), top surface (hygroscopic member), bottom surface (support), top surface (hygroscopic member), and so on. Therefore, the fabric body 11 and the supports 401, 402, 403, 404, and the fabric body 11 and the hygroscopic member 31 are bonded together by connecting members (not shown). Furthermore, an adhesive layer 41 is provided on the bottom surface of the fabric body 11.

[0039] During use, the adhesive layers 41, which are located in multiple places, are each attached to the skin. In addition, moisture is supplied to the hygroscopic member 31 via the fabric body 11. As a result, the hygroscopic member 31 expands. Consequently, wrinkles interposed between the adhesive layers 41 are stretched out. The hygroscopic member 31 may also be supplied with lotion or other liquids.

[0040] Figure 11 shows yet another embodiment. It is similar to the embodiment in Figure 10, but the cross-sectional shapes of the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404 and the cross-sectional shape of the hygroscopic member 31 are different from the embodiment in Figure 10. In this example, the cross-sectional shapes of the supports 401, 402, 403, and 404 are triangular, and the cross-sectional shape of the hygroscopic member 31 is an inverted trapezoid. The other configurations are the same as in the embodiment in Figure 10.

[0041] Figure 12 shows yet another embodiment. In this embodiment, rubber layers 21 and 22 are provided to attract the supports 401 and 402. The left and right ends of the rubber layer 21 are bonded to the thin-walled opposing parts on the upper surfaces of the supports 401 and 402. The supports 401 and 402 are made of, for example, plastic material, and 300 is a locking member that locks the thicker parts of support 401 and support 402 in a direction that pushes them apart.

[0042] On the flat surfaces of the lower sides of the supports 401 and 402, for example, a rubber sheet 22 for forming a pattern (including letters, designs, etc.) is attached in a state stretched in the left-right direction (the direction in which the distance between supports 401 and 402 widens).

[0043] In other words, in this embodiment, for example, the rubber layer 22 is made as a molding rubber sheet 22, that is, a pattern-making sheet, and as an example, crescent-shaped 22M and star-shaped 22S patterns are formed. The left and right ends of the molding rubber sheet (pattern-making sheet) 22 are stretched to the left and right and adhered to the lower surfaces of the supports 401 and 402. In addition, adhesive layers 41 and 42 are formed on the lower surfaces of the left and right ends of the molding rubber sheet 22, in the parts corresponding to the supports 401 and 402.

[0044] Before use, the system has an anti-adhesion sheet 350 attached between the adhesive layers 41 and 42. When using the system, the anti-adhesion sheet 350 is removed. The adhesive layers 41 and 42 are then attached to the skin, sandwiching the area to be treated. Next, the locking member 300 is released. This causes the rubber layers 21 and 22 to contract. As a result, the supports 401 and 402 are pulled closer together. This action activates the molding protrusions on the rubber layer (pattern-making sheet) 22, making it possible to form crescent-shaped and star-shaped raised areas on the skin when viewed from above. As a result, the surrounding fine wrinkles are stretched out. Simple patterns have been shown for ease of explanation, but letters, flower petals, etc., could also be used. For example, the system can be applied to arms, legs, etc. Furthermore, it is possible to attach a coloring agent (cosmetic) to the rubber layer 22 so that the pattern stands out like a stamp. In this specification, a shape memory polymer may be used as the stretchable driving member. Shape memory polymers possess shape memory properties. Furthermore, these shape memory polymers may be used in combination with rubber layers.
