Description

The brush configuration of powered skin cleansing brush appliance
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to the powered skin cleansing brush; The present invention relates more specifically to use the bristle arrangement that brushes at this clean skin.
Background technology
In clean skin brush, be that brushhead portion and the bristle on it are maintained fixed and in the powered brush that other parts can be vibrated, many factors are all extremely important to good cleaning effect particularly having such structure.Powered skin cleansing is brushed with the ability of effect and safety operation, except that cleaning, also comprises the absorption of removing dead skin and increasing various skin care ingredients, and these bristle arrangement that all are subjected to bristle morphology and brush to a great extent influence.
In some conventional device, cleaning skin effectively, the user seldom is with or without clean feel; And in other cases, skin can be worn because of excessively cleaning, and this does not wish to occur.
The whole structure of clean skin brush is considered in many designs, comprises bristle length and diameter, bristle material, and whole bristle arrangement, comprises the quantity of bristle in the quantity of bristle tufts in the given area and every bunch.For the Expected Results of effective cleaning is provided, and have actual cleaning impression or sensation, and can not bring uncomfortable feeling, select and arrange that these various bristles are very important.In some applications, also can comprise the ability that skin absorbs selected skin care ingredient that increases; And in other are used, strengthened the effect of shaving cream.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, the present invention is a kind of bristle arrangement that is used for the powered skin cleansing brush, and comprising: have first brush portion of first group of bristle, first brush portion in operation is maintained fixed; Second brush portion that has second group of bristle, second brush portion is vibrated when operating means, wherein the diameter of first, second group bristle is in 3 to 5 mil scopes, length is in 0.3 to 0.5 inch scope, wherein first brush portion has about 40 to 100 bristle tufts, second group of bristle has 40 to 120 bristle tufts, is distributed on the brush zone.
Description of drawings
Fig. 1 is the vertical view that has the skin care appliance of the brush with selected feature bristle.
The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of hand electric skin care appliance 10 useful in face protection is used.This utensil comprises big brush 12 and drive system 15, and the brush diameter is approximately 1.6 inches in one embodiment.Brush comprises two parts, has the outer annular portion 14 of two bristle tufts concentric rings and has a large amount of interior ring parts 16 that enough cover the bristle tufts that separates of the annular opening that is limited by outer bristle portion.In illustrated embodiment, between inside and outside brushhead, have in the 0.125-0.050 inch scope, be preferably 0.084 inch gap or space.In this utensil process of operation, outer bristle portion 14 is maintained fixed, and interior bristle portion 16 is in the special angle internal vibration.Angular range is 8 ° to 26 ° in one embodiment, yet this angle can change according to concrete application.
At the same time pending trial, denomination of invention is for shown in " the vibration brush accessory system that is used for personal care appliance " and described this brush-head structure except that bristle.At the same time pending trial, denomination of invention is for shown in " providing the motor of vibration effect " and described an embodiment of the utensil that comprises this brush drive system for personal care appliance.Above-mentioned two applications and the application are same applicant, are incorporated herein by reference.
This illustrate and the brushhead bristle arrangement of describing, be used in the disclosed appliance/brushhead of above-mentioned application effective especially for skin (especially skin of face) clean applications.Yet, as discussing in the above-mentioned application, this brushhead bristle arrangement can also be used for other skin care applications, comprise that acne is handled with blackhead, black head is handled, incrustation skin and psoriasis, shaving lump and relevant dermal application, wound clean and the processing chronic or wound of not fully recovering, the scalp cleaning, chemical peel procedures and shaving cream are used.Preferred bristle configurations will be had any different according to the different of concrete application slightly with arranging.
Below explanation relates to the brushhead/bristle arrangement that is used to clean skin of face.Comprise selected bristle characteristics and tufting (tufting) characteristic in the expected range, comprise bristle diameter, bristle length and bristle material.Brushhead/bristle arrangement also to consider brushing dry in case of necessity between, must be enough fast to reduce bacteria breed.The quantity of bristle during the index of aridity had both depended on every bunch also depends on the quantity of given area intra-cluster.Brush may be dry efficiently, but do not have the ability of effective cleaning, and is same, may effectively clean, but can not enough clean apace.
For performance and the cleaning sensation/impression of offering the best, the optimum range that important bristle characteristics and tufting need depends on by the energy-producing degree of utensil, and this depends on the frequency and the amplitude of bristle motion.In illustrated embodiment, the frequency of brushhead motion is in the 120-220Hz scope.For facial brush, the bristle length of using Tynex (Du Pont) type bristle between 0.3 inch to 0.425 inch, the diameter with about 3 mils.For those other application except that clean above-mentioned, the increasing diameter of nylon bristles can be added to 5 mils, and the length maintenance is identical or long slightly.
Have been found that the bristle that has basically less than 3 mil diameter is difficult to couple together with the bristle base element reliably.And the bristle that has greater than 5 mil diameter can feel under the weather for most users, although in some applications, is relatively to be fit to greater than the bristle of 5 mil diameter for special application such as foot's abrasions.
For SuperSoft (Du Pont) bristle, its scope is slightly different, and bristle length remains about 0.3 to 0.425 inch, and the bristle diameter can change between 3 to 4 mils.For other brush applications except clean application, the same length of bristle, bristle is short slightly in some cases for comparatively violent application, and is long slightly for warm soft application bristle.
For efficient drying, the approximate range of the number of clusters amount in the outer brushhead is 40-100, is 40-120 at the approximate range of interior brushhead intra-cluster quantity.The preferable range of outer brushhead is 60-90, and the preferable range of interior brushhead is 70-110, and optimum value is 80 and 96.Bunch should open the equispaced.
Therefore, the concrete feature of bristle (diameter and length) is for effective skin clean facial cleansing particular importance for example.In addition, by number of bristles in the specific clusters and the number of clusters amount in the movable head are remained in the selected scope, whole brush is can be enough dry apace so that reduce bacteria breed, and can clean effectively not injuring the user or make under its uncomfortable situation simultaneously.
Although for purposes of illustration preferred implementation of the present invention is disclosed, should be appreciated that in not breaking away from essential scope of the present invention defined by the claims to comprise various distortion, modification and replacement at this.
