Abstract
A disconnection checker for lead cords used in low-voltage output type low-frequency beautifying devices. In the upper face of a main body of the beautifying device is a terminal for checking whether each lead cord is disconnected or not when a jack of the lead cord is inserted therein. In the vicinity of the terminal for checking disconnection, an LED lamp lights when the lead cord is not disconnected. Thus, by using the disconnection checker, use of disconnected lead cords is prevented.
Claims16
A disconnection checker of lead cords in low-voltage output type low-frequency beautifying apparatuses which carry out beautification by attaching two leads to a human body, which leads are connected to a lead cord, and passing low-voltage and low-frequency current through the leads, said disconnection checker comprising:
- a terminal for checking disconnection arranged in a main body of said low-voltage output type low-frequency beautifying apparatus;
- a power source for supplying power to said terminal;
- and
- indicator means connected to said terminal for indicating disconnection, wherein whether the lead cord is disconnected or not is known from indication of said indicator means when a jack of said lead cord is inserted into said terminal for checking disconnection and said two leads connected to said lead cord are short-circuited.
A lead cord disconnection testing device for indicating when a lead cord has a discontinuity in a low-voltage output type low-frequency beautifying apparatus which performs beautification by attaching two leads stemming from one end of the lead cord to a human body and passing low-voltage and low-frequency current through the leads, said lead cord disconnection testing device comprising:
- a terminal for receiving one end of the lead cord;
- a power source for supplying power to said terminal;
- and
- indicator means for indicating, during a testing mode, whether the lead cord has a discontinuity based on whether or not the power supplied to said terminal reaches said indicator means;
- and
- a change-over switch which, during the testing mode, is switched ON to provide a connection between said power source and said terminal to enable lead cord disconnection testing, said two leads stemming from said lead cord being short-circuited during the testing mode.
A lead cord discontinuity testing device for indicating when a lead cord has a discontinuity, the lead cord having a jack at one end which allows connection of the lead cord to an electrical device and two leads stemming from the other end of the lead cord, the two leads being short-circuited during a testing mode, said lead cord discontinuity testing device comprising;
- an input terminal in which the lead cord jack is inserted to connect the lead cord to said terminal;
- a power source for supplying power to said input terminal;
- an indicator, connected to said input terminal, said indicator receiving power from said power source via said input terminal when the lead cord coupled to said input terminal does not have a discontinuity, and not receiving power from said power source via said input terminal when the lead cord coupled to said input terminal has a discontinuity.
