Patent Application
20210186548
The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0171193, filed Dec. 19, 2019, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
The content disclosed herein relates to a handpiece tip and, more particularly, to a handpiece tip provided on a handpiece that removes dead skin cells of the skin.
Unless otherwise indicated in the present disclosure, the content described in this section is not related art to the claims of this application and is not admitted to be the related art by inclusion in this section.
In general, as for exfoliating the skin, there are provided types of devices including: a peeling device in which a manufactured skin peeling substance is applied to the skin or crystal powder is infused into suctioned air of the device, whereby the fine powder hits the skin surface and the skin is peeled off, and a peeling device (also known as a diamond peeling device) provided with a cylindrical shape perforated rod having one side thereof on which diamond powder is directly applied so that the skin may be peeled off thereby.
The crystal peeling device requires too much amount of crystal powder to peel the skin while infusing the crystal powder, and is also expensive. As for the diamond peeling device, since the device's friction surface with the skin is rough, the device easily amasses skin dirt, has severe bacterial growth, and is unsanitary. In addition, although an ultrasonic cleaner is used to clean the diamond peeling device, there are problems in that complete removal of sticky foreign matter stuck on an abrasive surface of a handpiece is difficult, and a concern of infection occurs due to the unsanitary surface that other people should continually use in turn. There is also an economic issue in that an expensive diamond tip should be discarded after using the tip several times.
Meanwhile, in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0427899, “HANDPIECE HAVING DISPOSABLE ABRASIVE TIP” is disclosed.
The related art is provided with an abrasive tip having opposite sides or a single side thereof coated with crystal powder or metallic powder, which looks like sandpaper; having a rough surface of an abrasive stone; and having a coin shape in which the center thereof is perforated and a suction passage is formed in the middle.
However, in the related art, there is a concern that the abrasive fine powder may remain on the skin, which is unsanitary and may cause excessive skin damage.
The objective of the present disclosure is to provide a handpiece tip capable of injecting a nutrient solution by way of closely contacting the skin, removing layers of dead skin cells, and realizing desired abrasive performance on the skin while minimizing skin damage.
The objective of exemplary embodiments is achieved by a handpiece tip including: a contact part to contact the skin; and a coupling part having a space formed therein and coupled to a handpiece body, wherein the contact part includes a surface, a protruding part provided to protrude on an outer side of the surface and touching the skin, a discharging hole formed on the surface to discharge a therapeutic liquid, and a suctioning hole formed on the surface so as to suction a mixture of dead skin cells and the liquid.
The protruding part may be provided with a curved part to have a rounded corner portion, thereby preventing skin damage.
The handpiece tip may further include: a guide wall protrudingly provided on the outer side of the surface of the contact part; and a plurality of partition walls connected to an inner circumferential surface of the guide wall and provided on the outer side of the surface of the contact part.
The handpiece tip may further include: a plurality of bits provided on the surface of the contact part and protrudingly provided in a circumferential direction around the discharging hole; and a flow path provided between the plurality of bits to allow the fluid discharged from the discharging hole to flow.

The discharging hole may be formed on a central part of the surface of the contact part, and the suctioning hole may be formed at an outer circumferential edge of the surface of the contact part.
The surface of the contact part may be configured to be inclined downward toward the suctioning hole from the discharging hole.
The protruding part may include a plurality of walls protruding in a concentric circular shape or a spiral shape.
The flow path through which fluid flows may be provided between the plurality of walls.
The concentric circular wall or spiral wall may be provided to have a lower height than that of the guide wall.
The protruding part may include a plurality of domes configured to protrude in a hemispherical shape on the surface of the protruding part.
The plurality of domes may be arranged in the circumferential direction on the outer circumferential edge of the discharging hole.
The surface of the contact part may be configured to protrude in the hemispherical shape with the discharging hole as a peak.
According to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein, there are the effects in that the nutrient solution is injected by way of closely contacting the skin, the layers of dead skin cells are removed, and desired abrasive performance on the skin is realized while minimizing skin damage.
Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
