Abstract

A skin cleanser includes a surface, such as a silicone surface, with at least one textured portion for transmitting vibrational tapping to the skin. The skin cleanser includes at least one oscillating motor for generating the tapping motion to the skin. The textured portion includes touch-points or a wave that transmit the tapping motion to skin in contact with the textured portions. The touch-points may include thicker and thinner formations of the touch-points to provide firmer or softer vibrations to the skin. The touch-points are within about 0.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter. One configuration includes multiple oscillating motors configured to provide different vibration frequencies at around 50-300 Hertz and operable simultaneously.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:
a substantially flat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser body having a cross-sectional shape that is longer in a first direction substantially parallel to the base than in a second direction substantially parallel to the base; a silicone exterior covering substantially all of an exterior of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having:
a first side defining first and second textured surface areas that are integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the first textured surface area comprising a first set of touch-points and the second textured surface area comprising a second set of touch-points, at least two touch-points of the second set of touch-points each having a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of each of at least two touch-points of the first set of touch-points, and
a second side defining a third textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the third textured surface area comprising a third set of touch-points;
a first oscillating motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser; and at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the first oscillating motor.

2 . The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein at least two touch-points of the third set of touch-points each has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of each of the at least two touch-points of the second set of touch-points.

3 . The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the diameter of each of the at least two touch-points of the second set of touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.

4 . The skin cleanser of claim 3 , wherein the diameter of each of the at least two of touch-points of the first set of touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.

5 . The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the first textured surface area is smaller than the second textured surface area.

6 . The skin cleanser of claim 5 , wherein the third textured surface area is substantially the same size as the first and second textured surface areas combined.

7 . The skin cleanser of claim 1 , wherein the base is substantially transparent.

8 . A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:
a substantially flat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser body having a cross-sectional shape that is longer in a first direction substantially parallel to the base than in a second direction substantially parallel to the base; a silicone exterior covering substantially all of an exterior of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having:
a first side defining a first textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the first textured surface area comprising a first set of touch-points, and
a second side defining a second textured surface area that is integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the second textured surface area comprising a first set of ridges;
a first oscillating motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser; and at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the first oscillating motor.

9 . The skin cleanser of claim 8 , wherein the diameter of each of at least two touch-points of the first set of touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.

10 . The skin cleanser of claim 9 , wherein each touch-point of the first set of touch-points has substantially the same diameter.

11 . The skin cleanser of claim 9 , wherein the first set of ridges defines at least four ridges.

12 . The skin cleanser of claim 11 , wherein each ridge of the first set of ridges is substantially arcuate in shape.

13 . The skin cleanser of claim 12 , wherein at least a portion of each ridge of the first set of ridges extends towards the base from an end of said skin cleanser body opposite the base.

14 . The skin cleanser of claim 13 , further comprising a first groove defined by the first side of the silicone exterior disposed substantially adjacent the first textured surface area.

15 . A skin cleanser having a skin cleanser body, comprising:
a substantially flat base configured to stand unaided on a substantially flat surface, said skin cleanser body having a cross-sectional shape that is longer in a first direction substantially parallel to the base than in a second direction substantially parallel to the base; a silicone exterior covering substantially all of an exterior of said skin cleanser body, the silicone exterior having a first side defining first and second textured surface areas that are integrally formed with the silicone exterior, the first textured surface area comprising a first set of touch-points and the second textured surface area comprising a second set of touch-points, at least two touch-points of the second set of touch-points each having a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of each of at least two touch-points of the first set of touch-points; a first oscillating motor disposed within said skin cleanser body configured to produce pulsations of the skin cleanser; and at least one control disposed on said skin cleanser body configured to operate the first oscillating motor.

16 . The skin cleanser of claim 15 , wherein the first side defines a third textured surface area comprising a third set of touch-points.

17 . The skin cleanser of claim 16 , wherein at least two touch-points of the third set of touch-points each has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of each of the at least two touch-points of the first set of touch-points.

18 . The skin cleanser of claim 17 , wherein the at least two touch-points of the third set of touch-points each has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of each of the at least two touch-points of the second set of touch-points.

19 . The skin cleanser of claim 18 , wherein the diameter of each of the at least two of touch-points of the first set of touch-points, the at least two touch-points of the second set of touch-points, and the at least two touch-points of the third set of touch-points is between about 0.5 millimeters and about 2.5 millimeters.

20 . The skin cleanser of claim 15 , wherein the second set of touch-points forms a substantially semi-circular pattern.
