Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dressing table having a cooling device, and more particularly to a dressing table having a storage portion for cosmetics, health drinks, pharmaceuticals, etc., which are preferably refrigerated.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many conventional cosmetic materials have synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, active ingredients, surfactants, etc. dissolved or dispersed in a binder composed of a synthetic resin and a solvent, and most of the ingredients are synthetic cosmetics. In addition, even if it contains some natural product components, addition of a preservative prevents denaturation with time or temperature. For this reason, cosmetics rarely pose a problem even if they are stored in a normal state such as in a drawer of a dressing table. Recently, as the preference for natural products has increased, consumers have come to accept cosmetics that use natural products as active ingredients, dyes, and fragrances.
Cosmetics containing these natural products have a drawback that they are easily denatured over time or by heat, and the user has to store them in a general refrigerator or the like. However, cosmetics are products with a strong individual taste, and it is usually preferable to store them in a private room of each person.

Similar to cosmetics, various beverages have a strong personal taste recently and tend to be stored as close as possible. The same applies to pharmaceuticals, and it is generally preferable for each individual to manage them individually, and it is necessary to store them in a refrigerator as well as cosmetics containing natural products in order to prevent denaturation. It was As described above, although each person has an item that needs to be refrigerated and stored in his / her own private room, a small refrigerator for foods exists as the refrigerated storage item at most.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances of the prior art, and is suitable for storing cosmetics, health drinks and pharmaceuticals which are preferably refrigerated for individuals. It is an object of the present invention to provide a refrigerated storage device.

[0005]

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventor has found that the above problems can be solved by cooling a part or all of the storage part of a dressing table such as a dresser and a three-sided mirror. Came to. That is, the present invention is the following (1) to (3).

(1) A dressing table with a cooling device, comprising one or more storage parts and a cooling device for cooling a part or all of the storage parts. (2) The dressing table with an electronic cooling device according to (1), wherein the cooling device is a Peltier effect element. (3) The refrigerator-equipped makeup stand according to (1), characterized in that the items to be stored refrigerated are cosmetics containing natural products.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The dressing table referred to in the present invention is not particularly limited, from a very small footless, a mirror called a dresser and a chair with legs on both sleeves, a three-sided mirror, and a built-in room wall Including large ones with mirrors and drawers. Usually, these dressing tables have storage parts such as drawers and sliding doors for storing cosmetics and makeup tools, but in the present invention, by storing a part or all of these storage parts, stored cosmetics and the like can be stored. Can be refrigerated.

There is no limitation on the cooling method and device,
In addition to compression cooling and absorption cooling that have been conventionally used in refrigerator cooling devices, electronic cooling, that is, one using a Peltier effect element is used. Among these, the electronic cooling by the Peltier effect element has advantages such as simplicity, miniaturization, and noiselessness as described later, and is particularly effective as the cooling device of the present invention. The refrigerant used when the compression cooling is used is liquefied by the compressor, and then, when it is rapidly vaporized in the vaporizer, it takes heat of vaporization from the surroundings, and the temperature of the deprived side decreases. Since this method includes a process of compressing and liquefying the refrigerant, it is called a compression type, and power is consumed to move the motor of the compressor. A thermostat is used for temperature control, and the temperature of the vaporizing chamber, the refrigerating chamber and the like can be sensed to maintain an appropriate temperature. Various CFC substitutes are used as the refrigerant.

In contrast to the compression type, the refrigerant is heated and vaporized,
A method in which this is liquefied and then rapidly vaporized and cooled in a vaporizer is called an absorption type, and ammonia vapor is mainly used as a refrigerant. In this method, there is no compression process, the refrigeration cycle is small, and no noise is generated, but a heating process is required. When these compression type or absorption type cooling devices are applied to the dressing table of the present invention, it is mechanically necessary to pull out the dressing table such as a dresser on the front surface, provide a storage part such as a sliding door, and provide the cooling device on the back surface. And functionally preferable. Further, in the case of a double-sleeve type dressing table, it is preferable that one or both of the left and right sleeves be used as a cooling device, and the other sleeve and the remaining portion be used as a storage portion.

Both the compression type and the absorption type described above are mechanical cooling methods. On the other hand, what is called electronic cooling utilizes the fact that when a metal or a semiconductor is joined and a current is passed through it, heat is generated or absorbed in the vicinity of this junction depending on the direction of the current. This phenomenon is called the Peltier effect, and a method of cooling using this Peltier effect element is called electronic cooling. As shown in FIG. 1, when a current is passed from the N-type semiconductor to the P-type semiconductor, the upper metal portion is cooled. The material used is a bismuth-tellurium-based (Bi ₂ T
e ₃ -Sb ₂ Te ₃₎ a chalcogen compound or silicide (Fe
Si ₂ ), bismuth selenide (Bi ₂ Se ₃ ) and the like have been put to practical use and are commercially available as electronic cooling devices. When the electronic cooling device is used as a cooling device for the dressing table of the present invention, (1) the structure is simple and incorporated, wiring is easy and there are almost no failures, and (2) the device is small, so that the back surface of the dressing table, etc. It can be installed without changing the shape and design of the entire conventional dressing table by arranging in (3) The temperature control accuracy is high and easy,
(4) Since there is no mechanical part such as a compressor, it has no noise and no vibration, and is particularly suitable for a private room that also serves as a bedroom,
(5) It is extremely excellent, having the advantages that it does not generate heat from the device and does not raise the room temperature.

The temperature of the cooled storage portion is not particularly limited, but when the application is a natural cosmetic product, a strong cooling power is not required and may be 5 to 15 ° C, preferably 10 to 12 ° C. However, if the intended use is a health drink, the temperature may be further lowered. It is also within the scope of the present invention to change the temperature of some of the compartments for cooling. There are no particular restrictions on cosmetics, health drinks, and pharmaceuticals that are stored by being cooled in the storage unit of the dressing table with a cooling device of the present invention, for example, make-up agents, their removers, body powders, sunscreens, and white powders, Lipstick, cheeks, manicure or pedicure, hair, lotion, hair growth agent or curly hair treatment agent, liquid or solid cosmetics such as soap, various beverages, ointments, aerosols, granule tablets, granules, tablets, Examples include pharmaceuticals such as sugar-coated tablets, capsules, patches, films, eye drops, solutions, ampoules, aerosols and suppositories. Among these, cosmetics containing a natural component which is easily modified with time or temperature are particularly preferable.
