Abstract

An optical hair-growing device includes a headset that outputs light, and a controller that controls operation of the headset. The headset includes a light emitting unit including a light source, a pair of arms attached to the light emitting unit, a pair of first attachments attached to the arms to produce reaction force, and a pair of second attachments attached to the light emitting unit to produce reaction force. When the headset is attached on a head, the pair of first attachments each comes into contact with a side head portion to give the reaction force to the head, and the pair of second attachments each comes into contact with a head top portion to give the reaction force to the head. According to the present constitution, a position of the light emitting unit with respect to the head is hard to be displaced.

Claims

1. An optical hair-growing device comprising:

a light emitting unit that outputs light;

at least one arm attached to the light-emitting unit;

a pair of first attachments attached to the arm to produce reaction force; and

at least one second attachment attached to the light emitting unit or the arm to produce reaction force.

2. The optical hair-growing device according to claim 1, wherein the second attachment is attached to the light emitting unit or the arm so as not to disturb travel of the light output from the light emitting unit.

3. The optical hair-growing device according to claim 1, wherein

a pair of arms is included,

the pair of arms includes a left arm and a right arm,

one of the first attachments is attached to the left arm,

the other first attachment is attached to the right arm,

a left hinge connecting the left arm and the light emitting unit, and a right hinge connecting the right arm and the light emitting unit are further included,

the left hinge rotates the left arm with respect to the light emitting unit so as to change a distance between the one first attachment and the other first attachment, and

the right hinge rotates the right arm with respect to the light emitting unit so as to change the distance between the one first attachment and the other first attachment.

4. The optical hair-growing device according to claim 1, wherein the second attachment generates reaction force of a predetermined value or more when the second attachment is elastically deformed.

5. The optical hair-growing device according to claim 1, wherein

the second attachment is attached to the light emitting unit, and

force with which the first attachments maintain their own positions is set larger than force that is to move the first attachments, based on the reaction force that the second attachment produces.

6. The optical hair-growing device according to claim 1, wherein

the arm further comprises a telescopic structure that changes a length of the arm itself, and a lock mechanism that maintains the length of the arm, and

force generated by the lock mechanism to maintain the length of the arm is set larger than force that extends the arm, based on the reaction force that the second attachment produces.

7. The optical hair-growing device according to claim 1 further comprising:

a pair of joints that connects the arm and the first attachments; and

at least one of a structure in which each of the joints can rotate with respect to the arm about a first rotation axis extending in the same direction or in substantially the same direction as a longitudinal direction of the arm, and a structure in which each of the first attachments can rotate with respect to each of the joints about a second rotation axis extending in the same direction or in substantially the same direction as a lateral direction of the arm.
