Abstract:
1. A hand-held skin/hair conditioner comprising: a housing having a front end and a hand-engaging surface; a front end electrode connected to said front end of said housing, said front end electrode including a latch member protruding laterally from the front end electrode and at least one front electrode pin having an inner end and an outer end, said at least one front electrode pin being spring loaded to bias said outer end of said at least one front electrode pin outward from said front end electrode; a hand-engaging electrode connected to said hand-engaging surface of said housing; a power source contained within said housing; an electrical system connected to said power source, said hand-engaging electrode, and said front electrode for conditioning and controlling current supplied to said hand-engaging electrode and said front end electrode; at least first and second interchangeable interface conductors selectively attachable to said front end electrode and electrically connectable with said front end electrode, said first and second interface conductors each having a recess for receiving said latch member of said front end electrode and at least one inwardly directed interface conductor pin for engaging and depressing said at least one spring loaded front electrode pin when one of said at least first and second interchangeable interface conductors is mounted and latched onto said front end electrode, such that when said latch member is released from said recess, said at least one spring loaded front end electrode pin ejects said one of said at least first and second interchangeable interface conductors, and said first and second interface conductors having significantly different physical configurations for compatible engagement with different parts of the anatomy; and wherein said housing is also configured for ease and convenience in treating various parts of the anatomy.
