Abstract

The present invention is to provide an eyebrow tattoo machine, which includes a housing; a swinging movement-activating motor located inside the housing and having one end provided with a transmission shaft; an eccentric sleeve mounted around the transmission shaft and protrudingly provided with an eccentric lever offset from the center thereof and facing away from the motor; and a tattoo needle actuation mechanism positioned and pressed against by screws in the housing and configured for driving a tattoo needle at one end thereof to move upward-and-downward along an axis of the machine, and having the other end provided with a round-ended slot. The eccentric lever extends into the round-ended slot so that, once the motor is turned on, the eccentric lever can drive the entire tattoo needle actuation mechanism to swing from side to side with respect to the axis of the machine by using the screws as the fulcrum.

Claims

1. An eyebrow tattoo machine capable of activating a swinging movement and an up-and-down movement, comprising:

a housing provided therein with a receiving space, the housing having a first end provided with an opening and a second end through which a power cord passes;

a swinging movement-activating motor provided in the housing and adjacent to the second end of the housing, the swinging movement-activating motor being electrically connected to the power cord in order to receive electricity therefrom, the swinging movement-activating motor having an end provided with a transmission shaft, the transmission shaft extending toward the first end of the housing;

an eccentric sleeve mounted around the transmission shaft, the eccentric sleeve having an end which faces away from the swinging movement-activating motor and is protrudingly provided with an eccentric lever, the eccentric lever being offset from a center of the eccentric sleeve; and

a tattoo needle actuation mechanism positioned in the housing in a way that allows the tattoo needle actuation mechanism to swing from side to side, the tattoo needle actuation mechanism being adjacent to the first end of the housing and having an end provided with a tattoo needle and an opposite end provided with a round-ended slot, the tattoo needle actuation mechanism being provided therein with an up-and-down movement-activating motor for driving the tattoo needle into up-and-down displacement along an axis of the eyebrow tattoo machine, the eccentric lever extending into the round-ended slot of the tattoo needle actuation mechanism in order to push an inner wall of the round-ended slot and thereby swing the entire tattoo needle actuation mechanism from side to side with respect to the axis of the eyebrow tattoo machine when the swinging movement-activating motor drives the eccentric lever to rotate.

2. The eyebrow tattoo machine of claim 1, wherein the housing has two opposite outer lateral sides each provided with a threaded hole in communication with the receiving space, and two screws are inserted in and fixed at the threaded holes respectively and press against a middle section of the tattoo needle actuation mechanism, thus enabling the entire tattoo needle actuation mechanism to swing from side to side with respect to the axis of the eyebrow tattoo machine, with the screws serving as a fulcrum.

3. The eyebrow tattoo machine of claim 2, wherein the tattoo needle actuation mechanism has two opposite outer lateral sides each provided with a bearing, the bearings corresponding in position to the threaded holes respectively, the screws pressing against the bearings respectively so that the tattoo needle can swing from side to side with respect to the axis of the eyebrow tattoo machine, with the screws serving as the fulcrum.

4. The eyebrow tattoo machine of claim 3, wherein the opening at the first end of the housing is formed as a second round-ended slot so that the tattoo needle, when driven by the swinging movement-activating motor and the tattoo needle actuation mechanism, can swing from side to side and be displaced up and down within a range of the second round-ended slot.

5. The eyebrow tattoo machine of claim 4, wherein the housing comprises a plurality of tubes sequentially connected together.

6. The eyebrow tattoo machine of claim 5, wherein the tubes comprise a first tube, a second tube, and a third tube, the first tube corresponding in position to and enclosing the swinging movement-activating motor, the second tube corresponding in position to and enclosing the tattoo needle actuation mechanism, the third tube corresponding in position to and enclosing the tattoo needle.
