Abstract

A first head of a beauty device includes a stirring mechanism stirring bubbles, and a head case provided with an opening for allowing the bubbles stirred by the stirring mechanism to pass through. When the first head is used while being mounted to the body of the beauty device, bubbles are supplied to the stirring mechanism from the body of the beauty device. In a state where bubbles supplied to the stirring mechanism are present between the stirring mechanism and the skin, the bubbles are stirred and moved between the stirring mechanism and the skin by the stirring mechanism, and thus impurities of the skin are removed by the bubbles.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A head of a beauty device comprising:
a stirring mechanism configured to stir bubbles; and
a head case provided with an opening for allowing the bubbles stirred by the stirring mechanism to pass through,
wherein the head case includes a support portion configured to support the stirring mechanism in such a way that the stirring mechanism is capable of making at least one motion of a rotation and a movement relative to the head case,
wherein the support portion supports the stirring mechanism in such a way that the stirring mechanism is capable of rotating relative to the head case, and
wherein the stirring mechanism includes a base provided with a discharge port through which a mixture of a foaming agent and water passes, and a blade formed on a surface of the base which is an opening-side surface.

2. The head of a beauty device according to claim 1 , wherein the head case includes a limiting portion configured to limit the position of the stirring mechanism in such a way that the stirring mechanism is not allowed to protrude out of the opening.

3. The head of a beauty device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the discharge port is formed in a center portion of the base, and
wherein a plurality of the blades are formed in a radial pattern around the discharge port.

4. The head of a beauty device according to claim 1 , wherein a return port is formed in an outer circumferential portion of the base, and passes through the stirring mechanism.

5. The head of a beauty device according to claim 1 , wherein the support portion supports the stirring mechanism in such a way that the stirring mechanism is capable of moving relative to the head case in a direction of approaching the opening and another direction of moving away from the opening.

6. The head of a beauty device according to claim 5 , further comprising:
an elastic member configured to press the stirring mechanism in the direction of moving the stirring mechanism away from the opening.

7. A beauty device comprising:
the head according to claim 1 ; and
a body including a head mount unit which the head can be attached to and detached from, and a drive source configured to output a drive force for driving the head.

8. A body of a beauty device comprising:
a head mount unit from which a first head, which includes a stirring mechanism configured to stir bubbles and a head case provided with an opening for allowing the bubbles stirred by the stirring mechanism to pass through, or a second head having a structure different from that of the first head can be attached to and detached;
a drive source configured to apply torque to the first head or the second head;
a first transmission mechanism configured to transmit torque to the first head; and
a second transmission mechanism configured to transmit torque to the second head,
wherein a rotational speed transmitted to the first head by the first transmission mechanism is higher than a rotation speed transmitted to the second head by the second transmission mechanism.
