As shown in FIG. 5, projecting bosses 5a2 and 5b2 are provided on the base covers 5a and 5b on the side of the driving section K, and the holes 911 are provided in the base support plate 900 constituting the support member F. Engaged. Here, the base body support plate 900 that constitutes the support member F is a hole 901 provided in the base body support plate 900.
Is mounted by positioning it by engaging a boss 902 provided on the inner surface of the housing 10. Further, the base plate 900 is attached to both side surfaces as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. Has a thin-walled hinge 912 that constitutes the first elastic portion 1F, and a hole 91 that is continuous with the thin-walled hinge 912.
A member provided with 1 is elastically supported by a thin hinge 912 so as to be vertically movable. Therefore, the substrate support plate 900

When the two sizes are the same, that is, the base support plate 900 may be completely fixed to the housing 10, and the hole 901 may be an elongated hole for the boss 902.
Rattling in the float direction of the drive unit K may be provided between them. That is, in the former case, since the stress due to the displacement of the drive portion K is absorbed by the first and second elastic portions 2F as described above, the force applied to the boss 902 is minute and there is no stress-related problem. In the latter case, the drive unit K
By making the base support plate 900 itself slidable with respect to the upper and lower floats, it is possible to reduce the elastic displacement of the thin hinge 912.
The load of the upper and lower floats can be set only by the spring 45.

The drive unit K including the hair removing means 2 is shown in FIG.
When the skin contact member 39 is pressed against the skin, the drive unit K including the claws is elastically deformed by the thin hinge 912 to cause the spring 45 through the fulcrum 3914 provided on the skin contact member 39 as shown in FIG.
Press to float. Further, in order to prevent dust from entering the main body 1 from between the outer periphery of the drive unit K and the inner periphery of the casing 10, the dustproof plate 99
9 is provided. The dustproof plate 999 is formed of urethane foam or the like formed in an annular shape, and has an inner side surface of the base body 5, an upper end surface of the ribs 5a3 and 5b3 formed on the base body 5 and the covers 5a and 5b, and a lower end surface of the housing. The rib 10A provided on the inner surface of
It is supported in close contact with the inner surface of each. Therefore, although the dustproof plate 999 is partially or wholly compressed with respect to the float operation of the drive unit K, the dustproof plate 999 still maintains the adhesiveness, so that it is possible to prevent the intrusion of hair dust into the inside. become.

At this time, the dustproof plate 999 is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the housing 10 and the outer surface of the base body 5. For example, in the case of urethane foam, sliding contact resistance (friction resistance) is higher than that of rubber material. Is small, the effect of float load is small. The dustproof plate 99
Another example in which 9 is formed of an elastic rubber material is shown in FIGS. Here, the rubber material is the base 5 at one end.
The housing 10 and the mounting base 91 are fixed by sandwiching the housing 10 and the mounting base 91 at the other end, and the elastic load of the thin portion provided in the middle between them does not affect the float load. It is possible to obtain excellent dust resistance. That is, the middle portion of the dustproof plate 999 having a J-shaped cross section is elastically displaceable from the solid line state to the broken line state in FIG. 19, so that the drive portion K is pushed downward in the state of FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 18, the intermediate portion of the dustproof plate 999 having a J-shaped cross section is elastically displaced so as not to affect the float load.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a support member for causing the hair treating means to face the tip of the housing and elastically supporting the drive portion having the hair treating means on the housing. In the beauty device, the drive unit including the hair processing means can be floated with respect to the housing, and the support member has a first elastic portion having elasticity in the float direction.
When the float direction is the Z direction, it is composed of the second elastic portion having flexibility in the X direction and the Y direction, so it has excellent adhesion to the skin and its followability, and also has a long life. It is possible to provide a beauty device having a highly reliable float-free drive unit.
