Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This non-provisional application claims priority under 35
U.S.C. .sctn. 119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 102202686 filed
in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Feb. 6, 2013, the entire contents of which are
hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Field of the Invention
[0003] The present invention relates to a design of cosmetic
skincare devices, and more particularly to an efficiency enhancing
device for replaceable cosmetic skincare pads.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] Cosmetic industry is currently one of the booming
industries, and a growing number of women and men use facial mask
to achieve the effects of keeping a more radiant appearance and
maintaining a better skin quality. Thus, various different types of
facial masks such as cloth membranes, creamy masks and gel masks
are introduced continuously to the market.
[0006] In addition to the external application of maintenance
solutions for nourishment, skin maintenance can be achieved by
promoting blood circulation directly by massages. For example,
messages by pressing around eye sockets can assist blood
circulation. In most traditional methods, a maintenance solution is
applied to skin, and then a desired maintaining position is
massaged by hands to relax the skin as well as allowing the
maintenance solution to be absorbed more easily, but this method is
very inconvenient, since users have to wash away the maintenance
solution remained on their hands after use.
[0007] Further, the aforementioned facial mask is directly coated
or deposited onto facial skin to achieve the effects of
maintaining, whitening and activating the skin. However, the
penetration depth is very limited after the facial mask is
contacted with the skin. Maintenance ingredients simply remain on
the surface of a user's skin and cannot penetrate into the user's
skin and cannot be absorbed by the skin. Furthermore, most creamy
masks or gel masks require users to wash the facial skin after use,
and it takes time to apply the mask uniformly on the skin, and thus
causing tremendous inconvenience to users.
[0008] In view of the aforementioned drawbacks of the conventional
facial masks, the inventor of the present invention developed an
efficiency enhancing device for replaceable cosmetic skincare pads
combined with the effects of maintenance and massage, and such

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0023] The technical content of the present invention will become
apparent with the detailed description of preferred embodiments and
the illustration of related drawings as follows.
[0024] With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 for an exploded view and
schematic views of two different applications of an efficiency
enhancing device for replaceable cosmetic skincare pads, and a
schematic view of an application of a skincare pad in accordance
with the first preferred embodiment of the present invention
respectively, the efficiency enhancing device 1 for replaceable
cosmetic skincare pads, and the efficiency enhancing device is
provided for installing a skincare pad 2 to enhance the absorption
effect of the skincare pad 2 to a user and achieve the effect of
activating the user's skin. The efficiency enhancing device 1 for
replaceable cosmetic skincare pads comprises a main body 10, a
driving platform 11, a propping platform 12 and a carrying platform
13.
[0025] The main body 10 has an opening formed at an end, and a
containing space 101 defined in the main body 10, and the
containing space 101 contains a motor 102 and a control circuit
board 103, and the motor 102 is electrically coupled to the control
circuit board 103. In this preferred embodiment, the motor 102 is a
rotary motor, and the main body 10 has a plurality of press buttons
104 electrically coupled to the control circuit board 103 for
controlling the ON/OFF status of the motor 102. The user can press
the press buttons 104 to turn on or off the motor 102.
[0026] The driving platform 11 is coupled to the opening and
electrically coupled to the motor 102 and has a plurality of first
ribs 111 disposed on a surface of the driving platform 11, such
that the motor 102 can be electrically conducted to drive the
driving platform 11 to rotate. Wherein, the driving platform 11
also has a plurality of second ribs 112 disposed on both sides of
the first ribs 111 respectively.
[0027] The propping platform 12 is installed at a position
corresponding to the driving platform, and has a plurality of bumps
121 disposed on a side of the propping platform 12 and
corresponding to the first ribs 111. After the motor 102 is turned
on to rotate the driving platform 11, the first ribs 111 touch the
bumps 121 to move the propping platform 12 up and down by a pushing
force.
[0028] The carrying platform 13 is coupled to the top of the
propping platform 12 for installing the skincare pad 2, and the
carrying platform 13 has an adhesion portion 131 for attaching and
fixing the skincare pad 2 on the carrying platform by glue. After
the driving platform 11 is driven and rotated by the motor 102, the
first ribs 111 move in a recessed space formed between the bumps
121 and to touch the bumps 121 to link the propping platform 12 to
drive the carrying platform 13 to move upward. After the carrying
platform 13 moves a distance, the second ribs 112 are moved to
positions corresponding to the bumps 131, and the first ribs 111
and the bumps 121 are not contacted, and the propping platform 12
and the carrying platform 13 move downward, so that the propping
platform 12 drives the carrying platform 13 to move repeatedly in a
vertical direction by the rotation of the driving platform 11. When
the efficiency enhancing device 1 for replaceable cosmetic skincare
pads is used, the carrying platform 13 leans at the user's skin to
enhance the absorption effect and skin activation, so as to improve
the blood circulation of the skin and promote the metabolism of the
skin. In addition, the present invention further provides a very
convenient replacement, and users simply remove the skincare pad 2
from the carrying platform 13 and put another skincare pad 2 onto
the carrying platform 13 and fix the replaced skincare pad 2
through the adhesion portion 131 to continue the use of the
efficiency enhancing device 1 and promote the metabolism of skin
without requiring a complicated installation or replacement
procedure. Therefore, the present invention can improve the
maintenance effect of the skincare pad 2 and also can improve the
convenience of use.
[0029] The present invention further comprises a plurality of
elastic elements 14 installed on a side of the propping platform
12, such that the tenacity of the elastic elements 14 produces a
reaction force exerted onto the propping platform 12 when the
propping platform 12 moves upward, and thus the moving distance of
the propping platform 12 can be limited. Wherein, each elastic
element 14 is an elastic plate or a spring. In this preferred
embodiment, each elastic element 14 is an elastic plate having a
through hole 141 formed thereon for providing a uniform stress
condition to prevent the elastic element 14 from being broken by a
force, but the present invention is not limited to such
arrangement.
[0030] In addition, the propping platform has a connecting shaft 15
installed on a side of the propping platform 12 and corresponding
to the carrying platform 13, and the top end of the connecting
shaft 15 has at least one support plate 151 for connecting the
carrying platform 13 and the propping platform 12. In this
preferred embodiment, there are two support plates 151 arranged
diagonally opposite to each other, but the present invention is not
limited to such arrangement.
[0031] In addition, the skincare pad 2 has a plurality of
protrusions 20 on a surface of the skincare pad 2, and each of the
protrusions 20 is in a sharp cone shape and has a height between
100 .mu.m to 150 .mu.m. When use, the protrusions 20 pierce into
the user's dermal layer through the pores of the user's skin. By
piercing the user's skin repeatedly by the protrusions 20 of the
efficiency enhancing device 1 for replaceable cosmetic skincare
pads, the effect of promoting the effect of absorbing various
different maintenance solutions or maintenance products contained
in the skincare pad 2 into the user's skin can be achieved. Besides
allowing the maintenance solutions or products contained in the
skincare pad 2 can be permeated deeply into the user's skin or the
piecing movement of the protrusions 20 can activate cells to
achieve the effects of promoting the blood circulation of skin and
the metabolism of the skin. It is noteworthy to point out that the
protrusions 20 are made of a matter selected from the collection of
polyanhydride (PAH), polylatic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA),
polylactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and a combination of the above,
so that the protrusions 20 can be dissolved into the user's skin
directly to keep the maintenance solutions and products remain at
the dermal layer of the skin in order to improve the maintenance
effect.
[0032] To protect the propping platform 12, the carrying platform
13 and the elastic elements 14, the present invention further
comprises a housing 16 covered onto an external side of the
carrying platform 13 to prevent components including the propping
platform 12, the carrying platform 13 and the elastic elements 14
from being contaminated or prevent their operation from being
interfered by the outside.
[0033] With reference to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 for an exploded view of
an efficiency enhancing device, a schematic view of an application
of the efficiency enhancing device, and a schematic view of an
application of a skincare pad in accordance with the second
preferred embodiment of the present invention respectively, the
portion identical to that of the first preferred embodiment will
not be repeated, and only the difference between the first and
second preferred embodiment is described below. In the second
preferred embodiment, the carrying platform 33 is made of
acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and integrally formed with
the skincare pad 4. When replacing the skincare pad 4, the user
simply remove the skincare pad 4 together with the carrying
platform 33 and replaces a new carrying platform 33 for a continual
use, so as to provide tremendous convenience to the users. In this
preferred embodiment, each protrusion 40 of the skincare pad 4 has
a notch 401 formed at a top end of the protrusion 40 for receiving
maintenance solutions or products. The protrusions 40 are driven by
the carrying platform 33 to pierce into the user's skin, so that
the maintenance solutions and products contained in the skincare
pad 40 can be absorbed by the user's skin successfully. In
addition, the repeated piercing movements can achieve the effects
of improving the blood circulation and promote the metabolism of
the user's skin.
[0034] Further, the housing 36 contains a first electric contact
361, a second electric contact 305 disposed in the main body 30 and
corresponding to the first electric contact 321, and the second
electric contact 305 is electrically coupled to the control circuit
board 304. After the housing 36 is rotatably assembled with the
main body 30, the first electric contact 361 is electrically
conducted with the second electric contact 305 to start the motor
303. Wherein, the motor 303 of this preferred embodiment is a
vibration motor, such that after the housing 36 and the main body
30 are assembled and electrically conducted, the motor 303 is
started to drive the driving platform 31 to produce vibrations and
drive the propping platform 33 and the carrying platform 33 to move
in different direction, so as to achieve the effects of activating
the user's skin and improving the effect of absorbing the
maintenance solutions by the user's skin more quickly and
effectively.
[0035] In the efficiency enhancing device for replaceable cosmetic
skincare pads of the present invention, the first ribs disposed on
the driving platform and the bumps on the propping platform are
used to move the carrying platform that carries the skincare pad in
order to achieve the effects of activating cells, promoting blood
circulation and metabolism of the user's skin as well as promoting
the absorption effect of the skincare pad containing the
maintenance solutions. In addition, the skincare pad is fixed onto
the carrying platform or the carrying platform by gluing and
manufactured as one piece to provide convenient replacements. The
present invention can change the user's habit of using the skincare
pad and also changes the mode and type of the skincare pad. Unlike
the traditional facial masks being deposited onto a user's facial
skin, the present invention reduces the volume of the skincare pad
or facial mask to fit the use of the efficiency enhancing device
for replaceable cosmetic skincare pads, and thus making the use,
carry or replacement more convenient.
