Abstract

In the tapping device for producing beautiful skin, a Head contacts with skin. A Tapping mechanism pats the skin facing the Head with a Pad. The Tapping mechanism is equipped with the Pad at one end, and has a Shaft from which the Head projects and rolls back by piston actions. A Biasing member biases the Shaft toward one side of the piston actions. A Wire rod empowers the Shaft towards the direction resisting the biasing power of the Biasing member when tension is provided. An Actuator provides tension intermittently in a Wire rod, the tension of the wire rod and biasing of the bias member providing piston actions.

Claims

1. A tapping device for cosmetic skin care, comprising:

a head for contacting a skin;

a tapping mechanism including a pad for patting the skin facing the head, and a shaft, wherein the pad is connected to an end of the shaft, the pad being adapted to be projected from and retracted into the head by a linear movement;

a biasing member that biases the shaft towards one direction of the linear movement;

a wire rod that empowers the shaft against a biasing force of the biasing member when tension is applied thereto; and

an actuator that applies tension intermittently to the wire rod.

2. The device as in claim 1, wherein said head comprises an electrode infiltrating essence for introducing ions.

3. The device as in claim 1, wherein the tapping mechanism has a space between a surface of the head and a back portion of the pad.

4. The device as in claim 1, wherein the tapping mechanism comprises more than two exchangeable pads which are different in dimensions, and placed on one side of the shaft for freely being put on and taken off.

5. The device as in claim 1, wherein the pad comprises a surface that is a concavely curved cupule.
