[0045] The present invention provides a lifting thread in an improved model 100 comprising: a wire main-body 101 formed in a straight line-like shape; and binding projections 200 having a T-like shape integrally formed on an outer circumferential surface of the wire main-body 101.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention provides the lifting thread 100 in the improved model which is characteristic in that the binding projections 200 are elastic, and pull an extending ligament located at a lower portion of the skin, or a fibrous component for lifting, and with respect to the lifting thread 100 in the improved model, the binding projections 200 are formed in such a manner as to cut outer frames 11 from the main body 10 which comprises: two outer frames 11 facing each other; a plurality of connection frames 13 configured to connect said two outer frames 11 to each other, and formed to be spaced apart from each other at fixed intervals; and slots 15 which are vacant spaces formed between each of the plurality of connection frames 13.

[0047] Furthermore, when the lifting thread in the improved model is manufactured, a method of manufacturing the lifting thread in the improved model, which comprises: a step of preparing a mold 1000, a mold preparation step; a step of injecting a raw material (not drawn) into the mold 1000, a material injection step; a step of separating the main body 10 completed after the lapse of fixed time from the mold 1000, a mold separation step; and a step of forming the binding projections 200 by cutting the outer frames 11, a processing step, is provided.

[0048] Hereinafter, the concepts of the present invention as described above are described in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments, which are preferably embodied, as well as the accompanying drawings.

[0049] FIG. 2 is the view illustrating a mold for manufacturing the lifting thread in the improved model according to one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is the view illustrating a main body of the lifting thread in the improved model manufactured using the mold according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is the view illustrating the lifting thread in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] As illustrated in FIG. 2, the mold 1000 comprises: an outer wall mold 1100 configured to surround an outer portion; a material injection part 1300 formed by being down in level; and a plurality of inner molds 1500 formed in the inside of the material injection part 1300, and formed in the same level as that of the outer wall mold 1100.

[0051] The mold 1000 may be manufactured of an elastic body so as to facilitate separation from the main body 10.

[0052] With respect to a raw material (not drawn) which constitutes the main body 10, it is preferable to use a material for medical treatment, like nylon, prolene, and so on, that is harmful to the human body, and secures flexibility and durability.

[0053] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the lifting thread in the improved model according to the present invention is characteristic in that the binding projections 200 are formed in such a manner as to cut the outer frames 11 as illustrated in FIG. 4 from the main body 10 comprising two outer frames facing each other, the plurality of connection frames 13 configured to connect said two outer frames 11 to each other, and formed to be spaced apart from each other at fixed intervals, and the slots 15 which are vacant spaces formed between each of the plurality of connection frames 13.

[0054] That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a wire main-body 101 of the lifting thread in the improved model 100 may be configured to comprise two outer frames 11 facing each other, the plurality of connection frames 13 configured to connect said two outer frames 11 to each other, and formed to be spaced apart from each other at fixed intervals, and slots 15 which are vacant spaces formed between each of the plurality of the connection frames 13.

[0055] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a part of the outer frame 11 located at one side is cut, so the binding projection 200 may be formed.

[0056] FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a main body of the lifting thread in the improved model manufactured using a mold according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a lifting thread in an improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a view illustrating the binding projection 200 of the lifting thread in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the wire main-body 101 of the lifting thread in the improved model 100 may comprise: two outer frames facing each other; a plurality of connection frames 13 configured to connect said two outer frames to each other, and formed to be spaced apart from each other at fixed intervals; and slots 15 which are vacant spaces formed between each of the plurality of connection frames 13, and as illustrated in FIG. 6, the binding projections 200 may be formed in such a manner as to cut a part of each outer frame 11 located at both sides selectively.

[0058] In case of a conventional lifting thread, since projections which pull a ligament extending from a lower portion of the skin, or a fibrous component melted rapidly, it was problematic in that an effect of lifting became weaker, and since the projections were not elastic, a side effect of the skin sinking in occurred.

[0059] However, with respect to the lifting thread in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 7, as the binding projections 200 whose shape is improved in a T-like shape are formed, a cross sectional area increases so that the durability of melting can be lengthened.

[0060] Also, the binding projection 200 may comprise a head part 200A and a column part 200B, and the projection may be bent or rotated with elasticity in a state of the ligament or the fibrous component being caught thereon.

[0061] Accordingly, a side effect which shows that skin tissue gets torn, or some skin tissue is spoiled due to tension acting on the lifting thread 100 may be prevented from occurring, and the phenomenon of the skin and tissue sinking in may be prevented.

[0062] FIG. 8 is a view illustrating a mold for manufacturing the lifting thread in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0063] The lifting thread in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be manufactured using the mold 1000 illustrated in FIG. 8.

[0064] FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are views illustrating lifting threads in an improved model according to another exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

[0065] According to the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9 one wire main-body 100 is located in the center, and binding projections 200 are formed at an upper portion and a lower portion of the wire main-body. At this time, the binding projections 200 located at the upper portion and the binding projections 200 located at the lower portion may be formed to be identical to each other with respect to their central axis, or as illustrated in FIG. 10, the binding projections 200 located at the upper portion and the binding projections 200 located at the lower portion may be formed to cross with each other with respect to their central axis.

[0066] Also, according to the exemplary embodiments illustrated in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the method of forming the binding projections 200 by cutting the outer frames 11 may also be used, and the binding projections 200 may be formed using a mold directly.

[0067] FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are views illustrating the binding projections with respect to the lifting threads in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] Since the binding projections 200 according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention are elastic, and pull a ligament extending from a lower portion of the skin, or a fibrous component in a state of catching them, in order for the ligament or the fibrous component to be prevented from being damaged, as illustrated in FIG. 11, a head part 200A of the binding projection 200 may be configured in a round shape, and as illustrated in FIG. 12, the head part 200A of the binding projection 200 may be formed to make a curved line from both end portions to the outside.

[0069] FIG. 13 is a view illustrating a lifting thread in an improved models according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 14 is a view for explaining a lifting part of the lifting thread in the improved model, and a manufacturing method of the lifting thread in the improved model according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 13, the lifting thread in the improved model 100 according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises: a wire main-body 101; thorn projections 150; and binding projections 200.

[0071] The wire main-body 101 may be formed in a wire form formed in a straight line-like shape, and the thorn projections 150 and the binding projections 200 may be formed on the wire main-body 101.

[0072] The thorn projections 150 are formed integrally on an outer circumferential surface of the wire main-body 101, thereby protruding to incline from a surface of the wire main-body 101 into a direction of one side, or protruding from the surface of the wire main-body 101 into a direction of rotation.

[0073] Also, the binding projections may be formed in a T-like shape and integrally on another outer circumferential surface of the wire main-body 101, or may be formed to protrude from a surface of the wire main-body 101 into a direction of rotation.

[0074] More specifically, the lifting thread in the improved model 100 may comprise: a lifting part A in which the thorn projections 150 are formed on one side of the wire main-body 101; and a fixed part B in which the binding projections 200 are formed on another side which is opposite to one side of the wire main-body 101.

[0075] At this time, a length of the lifting part A in which the thorn projections 150 are formed, and a length of the fixed part B in which the binding projections 200 are formed may be configured variously.

[0076] More particularly, when the length of the fixed part B in which the binding projections are formed is regularly maintained, and the length of the lifting part A in which the thorn projections 150 are formed is adjusted, many regions of the human body may be lifted.

[0077] Meanwhile, the plurality of thorn projections 150 may be configured in such a manner that the thorn projections 150 are formed to be spaced apart from each other at fixed intervals from the surface of the wire main-body 101 into a spiral direction, and in the same manner, the plurality of binding projections 200 may be configured in such a manner that the binding projections 200 are formed to be spaced apart from each other at fixed intervals from a surface of the wire main-body 101 into a spiral direction.

[0078] The binding projections 200 are elastic, and are able to be fixed to the skin, and the thorn projections 150 are elastic, and are able to function to pull a ligament extending from the lower portion of the skin, or a fibrous component for lifting.

[0079] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 14, on a surface of the wire main-body 101, the thorn projections 150 may be formed to make a fixed angle with the surface of the wire main-body 101 as a standard, and this wire main-body 101 and the thorn projections 150 may be formed using molding.

[0080] FIG. 15 is a view for explaining how to use each lifting thread in an improved model according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0081] The lifting thread in the improved model 100 according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention comprises: a lifting part A; and a fixed part B.

[0082] The lifting part A may be configured to comprise thorn projections 150, thereby functioning to pull the skin through the thorn projections 150 for lifting, and the fixed part B may be configured to comprise binding projections 200, thereby functioning to be fixed to the skin through the binding projections 200.

[0083] Thus, the lifting thread in the improved model 100 according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention may solve a problem occurring from the conventional art which shows that a duration period for the existing lifting thread fails to be maintained for a long time, and is shortened.

[0084] Also, with respect to the lifting thread in the improved model 100 according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a length of the lifting part A and a length of the fixed part B become different according to each region of a user's face so that his or her face can entirely be lifted using only the lifting thread in the improved model 100 according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] For example, in case of a lifting thread in an improved model 100A is used in the frontal, it may function to uplift a frontal skin located at an upper portion of eyebrows, in case of a lifting thread in an improved model 100B is used in the zygoma, it may function to uplift nasolabial creases (the Chinese character -like creases), and in case of a lifting thread in an improved model 100C used in the mandible, it may be effective to improve marionette lines.

[0086] That is, the length of the lifting part A in which the thorn projections 150 are formed, and the length of the fixed part B in which the binding projections 200 are formed may be configured variously, and when the length of the fixed part B in which the binding projections 200 are formed is regularly maintained, and the length of the lifting part A in which the thorn projections 150 are formed is adjusted, various regions of the human body may be lifted.

[0087] Table 1 is a table for explaining a result of making an experiment in fixing strength of the lifting thread R according to the conventional art as illustrated in FIG. 1, and fixing strength of the lifting thread P in the improved model according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 7. This experiment in the fixing strength was carried out in such a manner as to measure their fixing strength until the binding projections of each lifting thread cause a change in their form by being turned upside down (being peeled), being bent, or the like, rather than measuring physical properties of a medium which constitutes each lifting thread.

[0088] Referring to Table 1, it can be found that the fixing strength N of the lifting thread P in the improved model according to the other exemplary embodiment of the present invention is about 2.5 times higher than the fixing strength N of the lifting thread R according to the conventional art.

[0089] As previously described, in the detailed description of the invention have been described the detailed exemplary embodiments of the invention. However, various modifications can be made without deviating from the scope of the present invention. The technical idea of the present invention should not be construed as being limited to the aforesaid exemplary embodiments of the present invention, but should be decided on the basis of equivalents of the claims as well as the claims.
