Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sagging correction tool, and more particularly to a sagging correction tool for correcting sagging of the skin formed near the lower jaw of the face.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Wrinkles and sagging may occur on the skin surface of a human face or arm due to internal factors associated with aging or external factors related to ultraviolet irradiation or humidity. In particular,
Examples of places where these wrinkles and sagging are relatively likely to occur include the corners of the eyes, the mouth, and the vicinity of the chin. Of these, in the vicinity of the chin, there is a large amount of sagging, in which the skin hangs downward due to gravity due to a decrease in skin tension and moisture.

Women, in particular, have a great deal of interest in eliminating and correcting wrinkles and sagging on the face.
It also shows a similar high interest in their prevention. Therefore, as a measure to eliminate and prevent the occurrence of these wrinkles and sagging, a large amount of money is spent on beauty treatments such as using dedicated cosmetics, carrying out beauty packs, and even massaging. ing. Among these, for example, by applying a cosmetic containing a component that blocks ultraviolet rays or a component that has a high moisturizing effect to moisturize the skin, it is possible to minimize external factors that have a great influence on the skin. There are things. Furthermore, efforts are being made to keep the skin in a good condition by stimulating the skin and improving blood circulation by activating massage and the like by giving massage.

[0004]

However, the above-described method is not particularly effective in eliminating and correcting sagging of the jaw. That is, since the "slack" has no tension (tension) on the skin and hangs down according to the gravity, the downward gravity is always applied to the sagging skin even when the above-mentioned treatment is performed. Therefore, even if the above-mentioned treatment is performed in such a state, the effect of the cosmetics or the like may be canceled by the gravity of the skin that hangs down, and the desired effect may not be obtained. Furthermore, only a temporary solution effect is expected, and it may be difficult to fully enjoy the continuous and long-term effect.

Further, the cosmetics fee and the massage fee for performing the above-mentioned various beauty treatments are often more expensive than the general cosmetics fee and the massage fee, which imposes a large financial burden on the user. It was supposed to be imposed.

Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present invention has an object to provide a slack correction tool that is simple and low in cost, and has a continuous effect.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a sagging correction tool according to the invention of claim 1 comprises a cover and a fixing tool for fixing the cover to the head of the user. Then, the lower part of the face of the user is covered with the covering body, and the fixing tool holds and holds the skin in the vicinity of the user's jaw.

Here, the covering body is mainly composed of a cloth material formed of synthetic resin such as polyester or polyethylene sheet or fibers, and has a mask shape capable of covering the lower face. is there. Since these come into direct contact with human skin, they have elasticity such as urethane foam in order to improve wearability during use, and the user feels uncomfortable when they contact the skin. It is preferably formed of a material that does not give.

On the other hand, the fixture is provided on the cover and is fixed to the head of the user while keeping the state where the lower part of the face of the user is covered with the cover. These include, for example, a pair of cords or strips attached to both ends of the cover. That is, they can be fixed by turning and tying them around the back of the user's head. Further, in order to make it possible to adjust the strength of fixing to the head, it is also possible to elastically deform the material of the fixture and form it with a material having elasticity to some extent.

Therefore, according to the sagging correction tool of the first aspect of the invention, the skin fixed to the head of the user raises the skin in the vicinity of the user's chin and the state is continuously maintained. . Here, it is known that human skin has a kind of shape memory. That is, for the skin, by forcibly holding a desired shape, by maintaining a certain tension state for a certain period of time, the skin remembers the forced shape, and from the tension state It has the effect of maintaining that state even after being released. Therefore, by raising the skin with the cover,
Even after the cover is removed, the skin continues to be held in the state of being lifted by the cover. Furthermore, since the covering and the fixture apply pressure to the entire lower face, it also has the effect of tightening the entire skin of the lower face.

The sagging correction tool according to the invention of claim 2 is
In the sagging correction tool according to claim 1, the covering further has a heat retaining means that functions as at least one of a refrigerant and a heating medium.

It is known that human skin exerts various actions by "cooling" or "warming". That is, by warming, pores on the skin surface are opened, and a sweating action is performed. Furthermore, since the blood flow volume under the skin is increased by the heat, various effects of skin regeneration such as activation of metabolism and improvement can be obtained. Therefore, it is expected that skin tension and moisture will be restored. Further, in this state, by applying a nourishing cream or the like for nourishing the skin, it may be improved to a better state. On the other hand, the cooling promotes the contraction of the skin surface. Therefore, it is expected that fine lines will disappear and the skin will be tightened as the surface becomes tight.

Here, the heat retaining means applies a substantially constant temperature to the skin, and functions as a refrigerant and a heat medium by utilizing a heat retaining agent or a heat retaining agent. Cooling agents are generally used for food preservation, etc., and when these constitutions are specifically shown, a liquid formed in a bag made of polyethylene or the like has fluidity and heat retention. Is sealed in a bag. As the liquid to be sealed in the bag, it is possible to use water and salt water, polyethylene glycol and ethylene glycol, and materials known as a refrigerant and a heating medium such as a silicone composition. Further, it is also possible to use a so-called "disposable body warmer" or the like to which the oxidizing effect of iron is applied as the heating medium. In this case, the heat retaining means (= disposable body warmer) needs a structure that can be detachably attached to the cover.

Therefore, according to the slack straightening tool of the invention of claim 2, in addition to the function of the slack straightening tool of the invention of claim 1, the slack is removed by lifting the skin by the fixing tool, and the activity of the skin with temperature is increased. It is possible to simultaneously exhibit the effects of denaturation and contraction.

The slack correction tool according to the invention of claim 3 is
In the sagging correction tool according to claim 1 or 2, the covering further comprises far-infrared ray generating means for generating far-infrared rays.

Here, the far infrared ray corresponds to the long wavelength side in the infrared region, and is usually 25 to 1000 μm.
Those in the range of m. Infrared rays in these wavelength regions are characterized in that they generate heat by vibrating the bonds between the molecules forming the organic molecule. Therefore, when far-infrared rays are emitted, the skin surface temperature is increased.

The far infrared ray generating means may be, for example, a fibrous body made of ceramic as a raw material. These generally correspond to heat radiation from the outside, and here, by utilizing the body temperature radiated from the human body surface to which the covering is fixed, far infrared rays are generated.

Therefore, according to the slack straightening tool of the third aspect of the invention, in addition to the function of the slack straightening tool of the first or second aspect of the invention, far infrared rays are radiated to the lower part of the face to keep the heat insulating material. It becomes possible to give a heat effect to the skin without the need for heat retaining means such as.

The slack correction tool according to the invention of claim 4 is
In the sagging correction tool according to any one of claims 1 to 3, at least one of the covering and the fixing tool is made of a water washable material.

Therefore, according to the slack straightening tool of the invention of claim 4, in addition to the function of the slack straightening tool of any one of claims 1 to 3, either the covering or the fixing tool can be washed with water. It is made of material. That is, these coverings and fixtures are in direct contact with the skin, and when used, it is necessary to maintain the fixed state for a long time. Therefore, there is a high possibility that perspiration or the like will be attached and the slack correction tool will become dirty when used multiple times.
Therefore, by using a material that can be washed with water, it becomes possible to use it in a clean and hygienic state.
