FACIAL MASSAGER
Abstract
A facial massager wherein at the opening end of a case an
elastic friction plate is mounted on the rotary shaft of a motor
contained in the case, projected fins are provided on the surface
of the friction plate, an inlet hole is bored between the projected
fins, a piston in a cylinder provided in projection at right angles
to the case is reciprocated by a crank of the rotary shaft, and
stains on the face are absorbed by the absorbing action of the
piston, massaging the face with the friction plate.

This is a divisonal application of Ser. No. 92,687 filed Nov. 25,
1970 and now U.S. Pat. No. 3,736,921.
Claims
What is claimed is:
1. A facial massager, characterized in that at the opening end of a
case an elastic friction plate is mounted on the rotary shaft of a
motor contained in the case, projected fins are provided on the
surface of the friction plate, an inlet hole is bored between the
projected fins, a piston in a cylinder provided in projection at
right angles to the case is reciprocated by a crank of the rotary
shaft, and stains on the face are absorbed by the absorbing action
of the piston, massaging the face with the friction plate.
2. A facial massager as claimed in claim 1 in which an oil basin
provided in projection with numberless suction pipes is fitted on
to the lower surface of the friction plate in said case and whereby
the oil basin is adapted to receive oil or impurities.
Description
This invention is characterized in that an elastic friction plate
on the surface of which arc-shaped or spiral projected fins are
radially formed, is detachably mounted on the shaft of a motor
contained in a case at the opening end of the case, in this case a
suction rubber film or a piston is provided and stains on the face
are absorbed from around of the friction plate by the absorbing
action of the suction rubber or the piston which is reciprocated by
means of an optional interlocking device, massaging the face with
the friction plate being rotated by the motor.
Further, this invention is characterized in that between said
projected fins in said massager, an inlet port is bored in said
friction plate and still more an oil basin provided in projection
with numberless suction pipes is fitted onto the lower surface of
said friction plate and a piston in a cylinder provided in
projection at right angles to the case is reciprocated by means of
a crank of a rotary shaft and stains on the face are absorbed by
the absorbing action of the piston, massaging the face with the
friction plate or stains at the root of hair are sucked out,
putting the outer end of the cylinder on the face and regulating a
suction pressure by a regulating screw.
Appended drawings show two embodiments of this invention:
FIG. 1 is a partial longitudinal section side view of a first
embodiment;
FIG. 2 is a partially broken plan view;
FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal section side view of a second
embodiment; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view.
The first embodiment of this invention will now be described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
A support shaft 2 of an elastic friction plate 1 on the surface of
which arc-shaped projected fins 8 are radially formed is detachably
fitted onto a rotary shaft 5 of a motor 4 contained in a case 3 at
the opening end of the case 3 and a suction rubber film 6 or a
piston provided in the case is adapted to be reciprocated, for
instance, by means of an interlocking device consisting of a cam 7
mounted on said shaft 5 and a follower 9 connected to said rubber
film 6.
In this invention, the motor 4 is rotated by an optional power
source and a suitable cleansing cream is applied on the surface of
the friction plate 1 and whereby the face is massaged and at the
same time stains on the face are absorbed from around the friction
plate by the absorbing action of the reciprocating suction rubber
film 6 or the piston. Namely, impurities at the root of hair are
pushed out, holding oil films with the projected fins 8 of the
friction plate 1 and these impurities are absorbed by the absorbing
action around the friction plate 1, so that stains on the skin of
the face are completely removed and circulation of the blood is
accelerated and an ideal massage takes place and removing the
friction plate, stains on the face can be absorbed by the absorbing
action alone.
Next, in the second embodiment, at the opening end of a case 11 an
elastic friction plate 14 is mounted on a rotary shaft 13 of a
motor 12 contained in the case 11, spiral projected fins 15 are
provided on the surface of the friction plate and an inlet port 16
is bored between the fins 15 and further an oil basin 18 provided
in projection with numberless suction pipes 17 is fitted on the
lower surface of the friction plate 14 and a piston 20 is a
cylinder 19 provided in projection at right angles to the case 11
is adapted to be reciprocated by a crank 21 of the rotary shaft 13
and the outer end of the cylinder 19 is provided with a suction
pressure regulating screw 22.
In this embodiment, the elastic friction plate 14 is rotated by the
rotation of the motor 12 through the rotary shaft 13, a cleansing
cream or the like is applied on the surface of the friction plate
14, with which the face is massaged, and by the absorbing action of
the piston 20 being reciprocated by the crank 21, stains on the
face are absorbed from around the friction plate 14 or the inlet
port 16, so that in this case the oil basin 18 receives oil or
impurities and stains in the case is prevented and stains or
impurities at the root of hair or the like are directly sucked out
by the absorbing action of the piston, putting the outer end of the
cylinder 19 on the face. In this case a suction pressure can be
regulated at will by the regulating screw 22.
As mentioned above, in this invention, there is a special feature
that a massage takes place, holding an oil film such as cleansing
cream and at the same time impurities at the root of hair are
pushed out and absorbed or by directly sucking out stains with the
cylinder, stains on the skin of the face are completely removed and
thus an ideal effect of facial massage can be obtained.
