Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a hair implanter with an automatically retracting needle, and more specifically, to a hair implanter with an automatically retracting needle configured to automatically move a needle backward by a force of a spring when the needle is moved forward to a predetermined position to allow hair transplantation work to be smoothly performed.
Claims14
A hair implanter with an automatically retracting needle, the hair implanter comprising:
- a case which has a hollow shape and includes a mounting portion formed at one end thereof and a nozzle hole formed at the other end thereof;
- a fixing member which has a hollow shape, is coupled to the mounting portion of the case, and includes a fixing guide portion formed at one end thereof and a step portion formed at the other end thereof;
- a push member which operates forward and backward and includes a first end provided with a needle supporting groove and disposed on the step portion of the fixing member and a second end;
- a connection member disposed inside the fixing member and operating in conjunction with the operation of the push member and having an inclined surface at one end;
- a moving member which is disposed inside the case, operates in conjunction with the operation of the push member, and includes a partition wall provided with a needle fixing hole formed at a center thereof and a moving guide portion formed at one end thereof;
- an elastic member including first and second springs disposed on both sides of the partition wall of the moving member, and configured to move the moving member in a direction of the nozzle hole when the push member is pressed and to move the push member and the moving member to an original position thereof after the push member is pressed;
- and
- a hair transplantation needle which is fixed by the needle supporting groove of the push member and the needle fixing hole of the moving member,
- wherein the fixing guide portion of the fixing member comprises a first inclined surface facing the moving member, a horizontal surface formed at an end of the first inclined surface, and a second inclined surface formed at an end of the horizontal surface,
- wherein the first and second inclined surfaces and the horizontal surface are disposed along a circumference of an edge of the fixing member and coupled to the fixing member, and
- wherein the second inclined surface of the fixing member and the inclined surface of the connection member are inclined at the same angle, and the moving guide portion has an inclined surface that engages with the first inclined surface of the fixing member and the inclined surface of the connection member.
