Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair straightening device using a semi-solid hair straightener.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to straighten hair, it is necessary to have a specialist in a beauty salon.
Consumers were very burdened in terms of costs, and it was not easy to do. For this reason, there has been a social demand for a hair straightening method that can be made at home and that is cheap and easy. At present, as a hair straightening method that can be done at home,
2. Description of the Related Art A method of straightening hair by heat treatment and a method of straightening hair by applying a hair straightener (hereinafter, also referred to as a drug) to hair have become widespread.

[0003] Here, hair straightening by heat treatment involves heating the hair to cut the connection of the tissue of the hair, softening the hair, and pulling the hair together with the heating to shift the connection of the adjacent tissue. And then,
This is a method of correcting the hair by rejoining the hair tissue. In general, hair straightening by heat treatment realizes the heating operation and the operation of pulling hair using a hair iron.

[0004] On the other hand, hair straightening using a drug involves an operation of applying a drug, and is a method of correcting the hair by applying one or two drugs to the hair. Primarily, the drug is formed in a semi-solid state and has the function of breaking or reconnecting the hair tissue. Therefore, when an agent is applied to the hair and the operation of stretching the hair by applying tension (hereinafter, the operation of stretching the hair by applying tension to the hair is also referred to as a stretching operation), the connection of the tissue of the hair is shifted. Can be corrected, and the hair is straightened as it looks. Usually, the operation of applying the medicine and the stretching operation are performed with bare hands or gloves or by using a comb or a hairbrush (hereinafter, also referred to as a comb as a generic name of a comb or a hairbrush).

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. First, the hair iron required for hair straightening by heat treatment,
In general, it is expensive and it is hard to say that the burden on consumers is small. Also, since the hair iron is an electric appliance, it must be secured with a power source, and it is heavy and burdens the arm, making it difficult to use.

[0006] Hair straightening using a drug requires less burden in terms of cost than hair straightening by heat treatment.
Also, there is no need to use a heavy curling iron, nor is it necessary to secure power. However, on the other hand, hair straightening using conventional drugs has the following problems.

First, when a medicine is directly applied by hand, not only the hand is stained with the medicine, but also the hand may be roughened by directly touching the hand with the medicine. Can prevent the drug from directly touching the hand, but the poor feeling of hand operation causes the drug to be applied to a part of the hair, making it difficult to apply the drug uniformly to the entire hair. It will be. As a result, in areas where the drug is applied more than necessary, the hair is damaged by the drug, and in small areas, the action of the drug does not work effectively, and the effect of straightening the hair cannot be exerted uniformly on the entire hair become.

[0008] In the case of using a comb, the medicine is applied by combing the desired hair with the comb on which the medicine is placed. Therefore, there is no fear that the medicine touches the hand directly and the hand is roughened. Although it is possible to apply the medicine more uniformly than by applying, there are the following disadvantages.

[0009] Since the conventional stretching operation using a comb is performed by combing the hair with a comb, in order to perform a sufficient stretching operation, the distance between the teeth of the comb is narrowed and the hair is combed by increasing the density. The stretching operation must be performed so as to increase the resistance to the hair and to apply sufficient tension to the hair. However, when combing hair with dense combs, especially in the case of severely habitual hair, the hair will be caught on the comb teeth and damage the hair, and if the comb teeth are loosened, sufficient tension will be applied to the hair. Since it is not applied, it is not possible to sufficiently extend the hair, especially to the hair tips.

[0010] In order to compensate for such disadvantages,
In order to easily apply tension to the hair, a plate having an uneven surface facing the surface on which the comb teeth are provided is provided, and the hair is sandwiched between the surface on which the comb teeth are provided and the uneven surface, There are combs that can be pulled. This comb is superior to a conventional comb in that a sufficient tension can be applied to the hair and a stretching operation can be performed up to the tip of the hair. However, in this comb, since the operation of applying the medicine and the operation of extending the hair can only be performed at the same time, the medicine easily drips from the comb, making it difficult to apply the medicine, and making it difficult to uniformly apply the medicine to the entire hair. Also, as a result,
When the stretching operation is performed at a site where the drug is applied more than necessary, the hair may be cut, and even if the hair is stretched at the site where the drug is insufficiently applied, there is no meaningful burden on the hair. It will be over.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a hair straightening device capable of reducing hair damage caused by a hair straightening agent and capable of sufficiently stretching and straightening hair. With the goal.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The hair straightening device of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, the operation of each part together with the method of using the same,
The effects will be described below. The hair straightening device according to claim 1, wherein the portion of the comb base portion where the comb teeth are erected is used mainly as a comb for applying a drug to hair, and a new holding portion is provided, A hair straightening device characterized in that hair is held between a comb body and a holding portion so that a hair stretching operation can be performed. Since the hair straightening device having such a structure can perform a stretching operation while holding the hair, the hair can be stretched by applying sufficient tension to the hair, and the hair can be firmly straightened. Furthermore, since this hair straightening device has a function of applying a drug and a function of stretching hair separately at the comb portion and the holding portion, the drug is dripped and applied compared to a conventional hair straightening device. Etc.
The defects at the time of application can be suppressed.

Here, the hair straightening device of the present invention is used for straightening hair using a medicine, and therefore a hair straightening method using a medicine will be described. This straightening method generally uses a two-bath straightening method in which two medicines are used, and they are applied to hair in two separate steps.
There is a one-bath correction method in which only one drug is used and applied to hair. In the case of hair straightening by the two-bath method,
The user needs to apply the first agent having the action of softening the hair to the hair first, and then apply the second agent for fixing the hair in a straightened state to perform the hair straightening. In addition, in the case of hair straightening by the above-described one-bath method, the user:
After applying the first agent having the action of softening the hair to the hair, the medicine is washed off and the hair softened by the drug is fixed by air oxidation to correct the hair.

The hair straightening using the hair straightening device of the present invention by such a straightening method is performed by the following first to tenth operations. First, the first operation of the hair straightening using the hair straightening device of the present invention,
This is an operation of wetting the hair with a spray or the like in order to promote the softening of the hair tissue by the drug.

Next, in the second operation, after the semisolid first agent is placed on the comb teeth, the wet hair is combed using a hair straightening device, and the first agent is applied to the hair. Operation. The hair to which the first agent has been applied softens due to the action of the first agent,
The tissue bond is broken. However, since the first agent only softens the hair, the hair cannot be straightened as it is. In order to straighten the hair, the user must perform physical operations on the softened hair to correct the deviation of the hair tissue.

Therefore, in the third operation, the hair is held between the holding portion and the comb body by using the holding portion which is a feature of the hair straightening device of the present invention, and the hair is directed toward the tip of the hair. ,
This is an operation to stretch the hair with a sense of stiffness. The direction in which the hair is sandwiched is a direction perpendicular to an axis extending from the connecting portion in the comb pattern direction, that is, a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

The hair stretched while being held between the holding portion and the comb body is left as it is in the state for several minutes to ten and several minutes as a fourth operation. Thereafter, as a fifth operation, the user performs an operation of washing the entire hair with water and washing the first agent from the hair.

Here, in the case of the two-bath system, after the operation from the first operation to the fifth operation is performed on the hair, the user
It is necessary to change the medicine from the first agent to the second agent, and to perform the same operations from the sixth operation to the ninth operation on the hair in the same procedure as the second operation to the fifth operation. When such an operation is performed on the hair using the second agent, the connection of the tissue of the hair cut by the second agent is rejoined, and as a result, the hair is settled in a corrected state. After performing the ninth operation on the hair, the user rinses the hair using a normal rinse or the like as a tenth operation. This minimizes damage to the hair.

On the other hand, in the case of the one-bath system, since there is only one drug, the hair tissue subjected to the first to fifth operations is recombined by air oxidation, and the hair is straightened. Settled in the state. Thereafter, as a tenth operation, the user rinses the hair using a rinse or the like. In this way, as in the two-bath system, hair damage is minimized. Of course, in the case of the one-bath type, the operations from the sixth operation to the ninth operation are not performed.

The above is the procedure of hair straightening using the hair straightening device of the present invention. Since the hair straightening device of the present invention is used in this manner, the length of the comb teeth is smaller than the length of the comb teeth standing upright at the edge of the comb seat like the hair straightening device according to claim 2. If the length of the comb teeth on the center side of the portion is shortened and the user stands, the user puts a lot of medicine on the center side of the surface where the comb teeth stand during the second operation and the sixth operation. However, since the comb teeth at the edge are arranged so as to surround the medicine, it is possible to prevent the medicine from dripping. If the medicine placed on the center side does not swell above the vertex of the comb teeth at the edge, the hair straightening device will prevent the medicine from adhering to the root of the hair and the scalp, It can prevent the hair from getting rough and from the root.

The comb teeth may be erected from both ends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the comb pedestal portion so as to become shorter toward the center, or may be provided from four ends of the comb pedestal portion toward the center. It may be erected so that it becomes shorter toward it. Further, as in the hair straightening device according to the third aspect, of the surfaces of the holding portion, the comb teeth are erected on the surface opposite to the surface facing the comb body so as to be different from that of the comb base portion. If so, the hair straightening device can function as two types of combs.

For example, if one of the comb teeth is erected so that the medicine is less likely to hang, and the other comb tooth is erected like a normal comb, the user can use one of the comb teeth. Can be used as a comb for roughly applying the medicine to the entire hair, and the other comb teeth can be used to apply the applied medicine to the entire hair. It can be used as a comb to stretch it evenly. Thereby, at the time of the second operation and the sixth operation, the medicine is more uniformly applied to the hair, and the damage to the hair is suppressed. If one of the comb teeth is sparsely erected and the other is densely erected, the user combs the hair with one of the comb teeth and then combs the hair with the other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the hair from getting stuck on the comb teeth when combing.

Next, when the hair is clamped by the third operation and the seventh operation, the effect of the hair straightening is sufficiently exerted and the damage of the hair is minimized. It is processed so that it can be suppressed. That is, in the hair straightening device of the present invention, the surface is processed like the hair straightening device according to any one of claims 4 to 6, so that comfortable and effective hair straightening can be performed. This processing is performed on a part of each of the surface of the comb body facing the holding portion and the surface of the holding portion facing the comb body. The processed surface is referred to as a sub-stretched surface.

Therefore, the hair straightening device according to the fourth aspect is processed so that the stretched surface and the sub-stretched surface are respectively uneven, and the stretched surface of the comb body and the sub-stretched surface of the holding portion mesh with each other. It is formed as follows. When the surface is made uneven as described above, the length of hair that can be clamped at one time can be made longer than when the surface is flat, and the pressure at the time of holding the hair acts as a force for stretching the hair, so that the stretching operation is more efficient. Can be done In addition, the user can hold the hair between the two surfaces of the hair straightening device and stretch the hair with a sensation, so that the drug applied by the comb teeth can be firmly spread on the hair surface. it can. In this way, the drug adapts to the hair, so the effect of the drug works well on the hair,
Moreover, since there is no excessively adhered portion of the drug, damage to the hair is small.

Next, a hair straightening device according to a fifth aspect is a hair straightening device having at least one of a stretched surface and a sub-stretched surface as a plane. In this way, the hair is slippery when the hair is pinched and stretched, so that the hair straightening device can spread the agent more firmly on the surface of the hair than when the hair is not flat, so that the surface of the hair can be smoothed. It can be blended even into details. This also enables the hair straightening device to straighten the hair while suppressing damage to the hair due to uneven application of the medicine.

[0033] The hair straightening device according to claim 6 is a hair straightening device in which a ridge is formed on each of a stretched surface and a sub-stretched surface, and the hair is held between the apexes of the ridge. By doing so, the hair can be clamped with a small contact area, so the pressure acting on the hair at the contact surface increases, and the user can sufficiently grip the hair without strongly clamping the comb body and the clamping portion by hand. It can be stretched. Further, in this case, the excess medicine is stripped off at the time of the stretching operation, so that the hair straightening device can suppress the damage to the hair due to the excessive medicine.

The above is the description of the holding portion.
As in the hair straightening device according to claim 7, when a guide rod is provided at an end opposite to at least one of the connecting portions of the comb body and the holding portion, the hair is guided by the guide rod when holding the hair. And the hair can be guided between the comb body and the holding portion, so that it is not necessary to carry the hair between them by hand, and the stretching operation can be easily performed without soiling the hands.

Further, when the connecting portion is formed by a hinge as in the hair straightening device according to the eighth aspect, the comb body and the holding portion are connected via the hinge, so that the user can easily handle the comb. Hair can be pinched. Incidentally, the comb body and the holding portion may be integrally formed. In this case, it becomes possible to produce the hair straightening device at a low cost with a synthetic resin.

[0036]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to further clarify the structure and operation of the hair straightening device of the present invention described above, embodiments of the hair straightening device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, a first embodiment of the hair straightening device of the present invention will be described below.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are explanatory views showing the structure of a hair straightening device 1 according to a first embodiment. FIG. 1 (a) is a front view of the hair straightening device 1, and FIG. Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of the hair straightening device 1, and FIG.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the hair straightening device 1, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line −B ′.

As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the hair straightening device 1 is composed of a comb body 3, a holding portion 5, and a connecting portion 7, and the comb body 3 is composed of a comb base 9, a comb handle 11, It is composed of Here, on one side of the comb base 9 of the comb body 3,
Comb teeth 13, 15, 15 'are provided upright, and their arrangement is as shown in FIGS. That is, at both ends of the comb base 9 parallel to the longitudinal direction, the comb teeth 13 are arranged in a line along each end, and the comb teeth 13 are directed outward from the center of the comb base 9. Leaning obliquely. further,
On the center side of the comb base 9, comb teeth 15 which are sufficiently shorter than the comb teeth 13 erected at both ends are arranged in a line, and in addition, a chain line B extending in the longitudinal direction of the comb base 9. At both ends on −B ′, comb teeth 15 ′ which are shorter than the comb teeth 13 at both ends of the comb base 9 in the longitudinal direction are erected.

A part of the surface of the comb body 3 opposite to the surface on which the comb teeth 13 are erected is formed as an extended surface 17a along the longitudinal direction with a curved ridge 19 having no corners. Are formed. In this hair straightening device 1, the surface opposite to the surface of the comb base 9 on which the comb teeth 13 are erected is the extending surface 17a, but only the surface of the comb base 9 is extended. It does not have to be surface 17a,
The surface of the comb handle 11 may be processed as the extended surface 17a.

The holding portion 5 is connected from the connecting portion 7 so as to face the extending surface 17a, and the holding portion 5 can be opened and closed with respect to the comb body 3. Of the surfaces of the holding portion 5, a surface facing the extending surface 17a is formed as a sub-extending surface 17b so that the curved ridge 1 is engaged with the extending surface 17a.
9 are formed, and the convex extending surface 17 of the comb body 3 is formed.
The hair can be stretched between the “a” and the uneven sub-stretched surface 17b of the holding portion 5 with the hair interposed therebetween. The state of meshing is as shown in the sectional view of FIG. In addition, a hinge is used for the connecting portion 7, and the comb body 3, the holding portion 5, and the connecting portion 7 are integrally formed.

When performing hair straightening using the hair straightening device 1 having such a structure, the center of the comb base 9, that is, on the short comb teeth 15 and the comb surrounded by the comb teeth 15 and 15 ′. When the semi-solid medicine is placed on the base 9 and the hair is combed,
Roughness of the scalp and damage to the hair due to the drug can be suppressed.

For example, if each of the comb teeth 13 and 15 is formed so that the difference between the long comb teeth 13 and the short comb teeth 15 is about 1 cm, the space is such that the medicine does not directly adhere to the scalp. Is formed between the center of the comb base 9 and the scalp. If the hair straightening device 1 having such a space is used, the drug does not adhere to the scalp during hair straightening, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the drug adheres to the root and cuts the hair. As a result, the user can straighten the hair without much concern for roughening of the scalp and damage to the hair.

This effect is achieved by the short comb teeth 15, 1 at the center.
Even when the comb 5 'is not set up on the comb base 9, the same effect is exhibited. Therefore, a hair straightening device in which long comb teeth 13 are lined up at both ends located parallel to the longitudinal direction of the comb base 9. It may be 1. However, since the comb teeth 15 and 15 'also have an effect of suppressing dripping of the medicine, such an effect may be weakened. Therefore, conversely, in order to suppress the dripping of the medicine, for example, the comb teeth 1 of the hair straightening device 1
A plurality of comb teeth 15 'may be arranged adjacent to 5' in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. In such a hair straightening device 1, the comb teeth 15 'act like a wall against the medicine, and can further suppress the dripping of the medicine.

Next, if the hair straightening device 1 is used, when the hair is subjected to a stretching operation, the user can use the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5.
It is possible to stretch the hair to the tip of the hair, so that the hair can be stretched to the tip of the hair, and a sufficient stretching operation can be performed on the entire hair.
This is because when hair is sandwiched between the stretching surface 17a and the sub-stretching surface 17b in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the pressure applied to the hair acts on the hair as a force to pull the hair in that direction.

As described above, since the hair straightening device 1 can apply force to the hair to stretch the hair and correct the displacement of the tissue, the user holds the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5 together. The hair can be sufficiently straightened without performing the stretching operation with full force. Also, the hair straightening device 1
Since the hair is held between the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5, the medicine applied to the hair with the comb teeth 13, 15, 15 'can be spread and stretched on the surface of the hair, and the medicine can be applied to the details of the hair. Evenly to reduce hair damage.

The above is the description of the hair straightening device 1 of the first embodiment. Here, a modified example of the hair straightening device 1 of the first embodiment will be described. FIG.
It is explanatory drawing which shows the structure of the modification of the device 1 for hair straightening of 1st Example, and is a perspective view showing the structure of the device 21 for hair straightening provided with the comb tooth 23 on the other surface of the holding part 5. FIG.

The hair straightening device 21 is different from the hair straightening device 1 of the first embodiment in that a part of the surface of the holding portion 5 opposite to the surface facing the comb body 3 has comb teeth. 23, and a guide rod for scooping the hair and guiding it between the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5 at the outer edge of the end opposite to the connecting portion 7 between the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5 25 are erected. That is, the comb teeth 23 of substantially the same shape and length are erected at regular intervals on the surface of the sandwiching portion 5 opposite to the sub-stretching surface 17b, like a normal hairbrush. The rod 25 is formed in a rod shape and has a thin tip.
Each of them is provided upright so as to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5.

With the use of such a hair straightening device 21, the user can use the comb teeth 13, 15, 15 ′ of the comb pedestal portion 9 and the comb teeth 23 of the holding portion 5 at the stage of applying the medicine to the hair. Can be used separately in the first stage and the second stage of application, respectively, so that application can be performed more favorably. That is, the user can roughly apply the medicine to the entire hair by placing the medicine on the comb base 9 on which a large amount of medicine can be loaded and combing the hair as the first stage of application. Furthermore, as a second stage of application, the hair can be combed with the comb teeth 23 of the holding portion 5 so that the medicine can be evenly and uniformly applied.

Further, the user holds the hair between the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5.
Since the hair can be scooped using the guide rod 25 when the hair is pinched by the hair, the hair can be easily guided between the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5 and the guide rods 25 are provided on both sides. ,
By holding them by hand during the stretching operation,
The hair can be strongly held between the comb body 3 and the holding section 5. Therefore, the stretching operation can be simplified, the time required for the operation can be shortened, and the effect of hair straightening can be further improved. In the hair straightening device 21, the guide bar 25 is provided on the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5, but it is not always necessary to provide the guide bar 25 on both, and it may be provided on only one of them.

Further, the shapes of the extending surface 17a and the sub-extending surface 17b of the hair straightening tools 1 and 21 of the first embodiment and its modified examples may be changed as required, for example, as shown in FIG. It can also be deformed. FIG. 4A shows the comb teeth 1 of the comb body 3.
The entire area of the surface opposite to the surface on which 3 is erected is formed as a flat surface as an extended surface 33a, and the entire area of the surface of the holding portion 5 facing the surface is formed as a flat surface as a sub-extended surface 33b. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view related to a hair straightening device 31 and a perspective view showing a configuration thereof. The hair straightening device 31 having such a configuration is flat so that it can be recognized from the cross-sectional view of the hair straightening device 31 in a direction corresponding to AA ′ in FIG. 1A shown in FIG. Since the hair can be pinched, when performing a stretching operation, the hair slides well on the stretching surface 33a and the sub-stretching surface 33b, and the medicine can be firmly spread on the surface of the hair and blended in. Hair damage can be suppressed.

In addition, similarly, a hair straightening device 1,
21 and the sub-stretched surface 17b of FIG.
The cross section A 'can be deformed into a shape as shown in FIG. That is, a plurality of curved ridges 19 having no corners are formed on each of the extending surface 35a and the sub-extending surface 35b in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the comb body 3, and the surface thereof is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the comb body 3. The hair straightening devices 1 and 21 may be deformed so that the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5 mesh with each other so that the comb body 3 and the holding portion 5 mesh with each other.

The hair straightening devices 1 and 21 processed into the stretched surface 35a and the sub-stretched surface 35b having such shapes are shown in FIGS.
Since a larger number of ridges 19 can be formed on the stretched surface 35a and the sub-stretched surface 35b as compared with the hair straighteners 1 and 21 shown in FIG. 2, the effect of straightening the hair is further enhanced, and the hair is efficiently held. This is convenient because a stretching operation can be performed.

Similarly, the stretched surface 17a and the sub-stretched surface 17b of the hair straighteners 1 and 21 can be deformed into a shape such that the cross section taken along the line AA 'in FIG. 1 is as shown in FIG. .
That is, on each of the extending surface 37a and the sub-extending surface 37b, only one curved ridge 19 having no corner is formed in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the comb body 3, and the extending surface 37a and the sub-extending surface 37b are formed. The hair straightening devices 1 and 21 may be deformed so that the hair can be pinched at the apex of the ridge 19. In this case, the area for pinching the hair is reduced, so that when the user pinches the hair, even if the user does not apply too much force, the user applies a large pressure to the hair and the tissue of the hair shifts. Can be corrected, so that straight hair can be easily corrected. In addition, the hair straighteners 1 and 2 thus deformed
In the method 1, since the hair is held with a large pressure, an excessive amount of the medicine applied to the surface of the hair can be removed to reduce the damage to the hair.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. Second
The hair straightening device 41 of the embodiment has more comb teeth 43 and 45 erected than the hair straightening device 1 of the first embodiment, and the long comb teeth 43 are located at the center of the comb base 9. The hair straightening device 41 is characterized by being erected so as to surround four sides, and is shown in FIG. FIG.
(A) is a front view of the hair straightening device 41, and FIG.

Above all, a semi-solid material having a viscosity of 500 to 50,000 mPs · s is preferable. The above is the hair straightening device 1 of the present invention,
This is an explanation of the drugs used in hair straightening using 21, 31, 41, but the hair straightening tools 1, 21, 3
In order to prevent 1, 41 from being dissolved by such a chemical, hair straightening devices 1, 21, 31, 41 are made of synthetic resin.
In particular, it is necessary to use polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like to form the film.

However, the hair straighteners 1 and 2 of the present invention
1, 31, and 41 do not limit the drugs used to the drugs shown in the above-mentioned prescription examples. Therefore, if the drugs are other than the above-mentioned prescription examples, the material is determined according to the drugs. What is necessary is just to form the hair straightening tools 1,21,31,41.
