Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a roller type massage device which has a beautiful skin effect in addition to a massage effect and is particularly suitable for the face.

[0002] Traditionally, massage is used to promote blood circulation.
It is well known that it is effective for health and beauty. Although various massage devices have already been developed or put on the market, the roller-type massage device proposed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-106514 is interesting because it can be easily used at home. As shown in FIG. 4, the roller 32 used in the proposed massage device has a cylindrical core 34 wound with absorbent cotton 36, and the outside thereof is covered with gauze 38. While wiping the skin with the roller 32, absorbent cotton 36 having excellent absorbability and gauze 38 having excellent peeling property are used together in order to wipe off sebum and dirt.

However, the massage device of this conventional example has some problems as follows. That is, since the elasticity of the roller 32 is small, the pressing force during use is directly transmitted to the skin and the feeling of pressure is too strong. The gauze is rough and does not feel good. If a cosmetic liquid or the like is used, the liquid is contained in a large amount, so that it is wasteful and a problem of dripping the liquid easily occurs. Moreover, even if it is attempted to be washed for reuse, it is difficult to clean because dirt, cosmetics, etc. have penetrated deep into the absorbent cotton layer.

[0004] On the other hand, silk is known to be able to scrape off keratin and waste products of the skin well by massage because silk has a fine tactile and irregular cross section and has a good feel and an excellent peeling function. It is also known that the skin is moisturized and smoothened because it contains various amino acids.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have diligently studied to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and, at the same time, to provide a roller-type massager which can be easily used at home by incorporating the excellent skin-beautifying effect of silk. As a result of repeating the above, the present invention was achieved.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A gist of a roller-type massage device according to the present invention is that a core made of a rubber-like elastic material is coated with a fiber group containing silk, and a silk roller. It is composed of a gripping member for rotatably supporting.

In particular, the thickness of the fiber group is 0.15 mm
This is because the distance is set to 2 mm or less.

Further, in particular, the fiber group is a water jet punch type nonwoven fabric made of silk.

Further, in particular, the fiber group is a flock-processed short fiber group.

Further, in these roller type massage devices, the silk roller has a structure in which the surface of the core body is an adhesive surface and the fiber sheet containing silk is detachably adhered to the adhesive surface.

Alternatively, in these roller type massage devices, an adhesive roller compatible with a silk roller is provided.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment of a roller type massage device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a roller-type massage device 10 according to the present invention, which comprises a silk roller 12 and a gripping member 14 for rotatably supporting the silk roller 12. And the silk roller 12 is, as shown in FIG.
A core 16 made of a rubber-like elastic material is wound around a support tube 20 made of a paper tube or the like, and the core 16 is covered with a fiber group 18 containing silk. A bearing member 26 is fitted in the openings at both ends of the support tube 20. A recess 30 is provided in the center of each of the bearing members 26, and shafts (not shown) projecting from the gripping member 14 at two positions are inserted loosely into the recess 30. For this reason, the silk roller 12 is supported by two shafts on both sides thereof and is rotatable about this shaft.

To use the roller-type massage device 10, the gripping member 14 is gripped, and the silk roller 12 is applied to the massage surface such as the face and rolled. Since the core body 16 is an elastic body, the contact pressure of the silk roller 12 is moderately relaxed, a comfortable massage can be performed, and blood circulation is promoted.
In addition, the beauty effect of silk makes the skin moist and smooth.

The fiber group containing silk means only silk, or
It means a fiber group containing at least a part of silk. The proportion of silk is preferably 20% by weight or more. The fiber used together with the silk is not particularly limited, but natural fibers such as cotton and protein fibers which are gentle to the skin, or synthetic fibers having a modified cross section having a large peeling effect are preferably used. The fiber group is in the form of a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a non-woven fabric, or the like made of short fibers or long fibers, or a bonded short fiber group or a wound long fiber group. These fiber groups are
It may be in a form of being combined with other sheets such as a reinforcing sheet, a release sheet and a water absorbent sheet.

The thickness of the fiber group 18 covering the core 16 is
The thickness is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 3 mm or less, and 0.
It is particularly preferable that the length is 15 mm or more and 2 mm or less. If it is too thin, the excellent feel of silk cannot be obtained, and the liquid retaining property is deteriorated so that the cosmetic liquid and the like cannot be sufficiently retained, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the thickness is too thick, the elasticity of the core body 16 is diminished and the feeling is deteriorated, and the amount of liquid such as cosmetic liquid is increased, resulting in increased waste and problems such as dripping. The thickness of the fiber group 18 is measured according to JIS-L-1096.

In a particularly useful embodiment of the present invention, as the fiber group 18, a water jet punch type nonwoven fabric made of silk is used. Since the silk is 100%, the excellent skin beautiful effect of silk can be fully utilized. Further, since it is a water jet punch method, it is possible to manufacture a thin non-woven fabric without an adhesive agent, and a satisfactory effect can be obtained with a minimum necessary amount of silk without impairing the excellent characteristics of silk with an adhesive agent or the like. Further, since the fibers are non-woven fabrics randomly oriented in various directions, they come into contact with sebum and waste products at various angles, and the peeling effect is improved. Further, since the cut end does not fray unlike a woven fabric or a knitted fabric, the coating process on the core body 16 becomes easy.

As the rubber-like elastic body used as the material of the core body 16, elastic resins such as polyurethane and silicon, or various kinds of rubber are preferably used, and these can also be used as a foam. Various ceramics that generate far infrared rays, such as tourmaline and germanium that can generate negative ions, titanium oxide that has an antibacterial function, and the like, are mixed into the core body 16 or coated on the surface of the core body 16. You may. The material of the support tube 20 is not particularly limited, and metal, wood, paper, plastic, or the like is used, but paper or plastic excellent in moldability, lightness, and corrosion resistance is preferably used. And the gripping member 1
4 and the bearing member 26 are particularly preferably made of plastic, which has good moldability and can be finished in a beautiful appearance.

The size of the silk roller 12 is optimally designed according to the application. For example, for face use, the diameter is 20 mm to 30 m.
m, width 20 mm to 50 mm. Further, for example, for hands and feet, the diameter is 30 mm to 60 mm and the width is 40 mm to 70 mm.
It is supposed to be mm. The size and shape of the gripping member 14 are shown in FIG.
It is not limited to the example shown in FIG. A shape or the like that rises up from the silk roller 12 at a substantially right angle can be freely selected. Further, the means for rotatably supporting the silk roller 12 is not particularly limited, and a support shaft through which the support tube 20 is inserted may be used, or the support tube 2 may be used.
Instead of using 0, the bearing member 26 may be directly fitted into the core body.

Various means can be used to coat the fiber group 18 on the core 16. To make a seaweed roll, a single-leaf fiber group 18 is wrapped around the core body 16 for adhesion and fixation, or a tape-shaped fiber group 18 is wrapped around a long roll-like elastic body to serve as the core body 16 in a spiral shape for adhesion. It may be fixed and cut out to a fixed length. The adhesive is the core 16 or the fiber group 1.
8 is applied beforehand. Alternatively, the tubular fiber group 18
Alternatively, a hot melt of an elastic body to be the core 16 may be injected and cooled and solidified.

Flocking is particularly useful as a means for coating the core 16 with the fiber group 18. By a conventional method, the core 16 may be directly electro-implanted, or the base cloth may be pre-implanted and the composite sheet may be wound around the core 16. The flocked surface is velvety and beautiful. Since the fibers are firmly adhered to each other, they do not fall off even if they are strongly washed for reuse, and, of course, they do not fluff and thus have an excellent appearance. Since each fiber stands almost vertically from the surface of the silk roller 12, the silk roller 12 functions as if it were a delicate brush, and the effect of scraping off skin oils and waste products is particularly large. In addition, since the cut portion of the silk having a substantially triangular cross section is sharp, a particularly large scraping effect can be obtained.
The fibers such as silk used are 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm
It is preferable that the length is set to a unit length.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the core 16 is used as an adhesive surface, and the fiber sheet containing silk is removably adhered to this adhesive surface. An example thereof is shown in FIG. 3. An adhesive layer 22 is provided on the surface of the core 16 wound around the support tube 20, and the fiber sheet 19 containing silk is adhered to the adhesive layer 22. A release process is applied to the back surface of the fiber sheet 19 so that the fiber sheet 19 can be easily peeled off. Alternatively, a composite fiber sheet 19 having a release sheet laminated on the back surface may be used. If the fiber sheet 19 is put in a tray-shaped recess and the core body 16 is rolled thereon so that a copy plate is printed, the fiber sheet 19 can be easily adhered and fixed to the surface of the core body 16.

As described above, in the roller type massage device in which the fiber sheet 19 is detachably adhered to the adhesive surface of the core body 16, the fiber sheet 19 can be easily replaced, so that the silk roller can be reused. It is very convenient because it can omit 12 cleaning steps. Further, according to this roller type massage device, the following excellent usage methods are possible. That is, the core body 1 is used not only as the silk roller 12 but also without the fiber sheet 19 attached.
Since it can also be used as an adhesive roller for only 6, it is possible to massage with the adhesive roller first, and then attach the fiber sheet 19 for massage. As a result, most of the sebum and dirt are removed by the adhesive roller and then rubbed by the silk roller 12, so that the surface of the silk roller 12 is not so dirty, and the beauty effect of the silk is particularly exhibited. It will be.

The same excellent massage effect can be obtained even if the silk roller 12 and the adhesive roller are separately prepared in advance, instead of using one roller for two purposes. Taking the roller type massage device 10 shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the silk roller 12 and the bearing member 26 of the adhesive roller 26.
The same specifications may be used, the two are made compatible, and the gripping member 14 may be replaced and used. If the shoulder portion 13 of the gripping member 14 is thinned to be flexible, the tip end portion of the gripping member 14 can be opened and the silk roller 12 or the adhesive roller can be easily taken in and out. It is convenient because the work of attaching and detaching the fiber sheet 19 is omitted, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition can be designed only for cosmetic purposes. For example, the composition is mainly composed of a polyurethane-based or acrylic-based adhesive, a super absorbent polymer, a natural polymer polysaccharide gum, and the like.

Although the roller-type massage device according to the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned citations and examples, and the configuration and shape of the roller-type massage device and the form of the fiber group including silk. With respect to the type and amount of fibers mixed with silk, the material of the core, the type of pressure-sensitive adhesive, etc., various improvements, modifications and changes are made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Can be implemented in.

[0026]

According to the roller type massager of the present invention, since the core is made of rubber-like elastic material, the pressure of the roller is relieved and the feel is improved, and the silk comes into contact with the skin. Can enjoy.

In particular, the fiber group has a thickness of 0.15 mm.
When the thickness is 2 mm or less, it is possible to hold an appropriate amount of the cosmetic liquid and the like, so that the cosmetic liquid and the like can be saved and the trouble that the cosmetic liquid and the like drips during massage is eliminated. Then, the cleaning property for reuse is improved.

In particular, if a water jet punch type nonwoven fabric made of silk is used, it is 100% silk,
The excellent skin-beautifying effect of silk can be fully utilized. Also,
A satisfactory effect can be obtained with the minimum necessary amount of silk without impairing the excellent characteristics of silk with an adhesive or the like. In addition, the fibers come into contact with sebum and waste products at various angles to improve the peeling effect, and the cut ends are not frayed, so that the core is easily coated.

In particular, if the silk roller is flocked, it has a velvety and beautiful surface, and even if it is strongly washed for reuse, the fibers do not fall off. Moreover, since each fiber stands almost vertically, the silk roller functions as if it is a delicate brush, and the effect of scraping off the sebum and waste products of the skin is particularly large.

Furthermore, the surface of the core is made an adhesive surface,
If the fiber sheet containing silk can be removably adhered to this adhesive surface, it can be reused simply by replacing the fiber sheet, which is very convenient. Further, by using the silk roller without removing the fiber sheet and removing most of sebum and dirt in advance and using the silk roller, the cosmetic effect of silk can be more surely enjoyed.

Furthermore, a roller-type massage device provided with an adhesive roller compatible with a silk roller is very convenient because the work of attaching and detaching the fiber sheet is omitted. In addition, the surface adhesive composition of the adhesive roller can be optimized for cosmetic purposes.
