[0003] Since human hair includes types such as straight hair, waving, and squeezing hair, in order to make the hair style of the person's favorite, wavy hair or straight curly hair is used. It is straightened, but in order to maintain the shaped state for a long time, it is general to leave it to a professional barber or the like who is shaped in a processing step using a dedicated liquid together with a shaping tool.

[0004] The head hair is composed of a protein as a main component, and the bonds of the particles form side hairs by forming side chains. Therefore, in order to shape such straight hairs and curly hairs into different shapes, for example, the hair is temporarily reduced by using a first liquid for promoting the shaping and cutting the side chain bonds by the reducing action of this liquid. Is then restored to the desired shape while heating with a special hair iron, and then the side chain bonds cut with the second liquid are recombined by the oxidizing action of this liquid. It is said that the object is shaped into the desired shape.

[0005] Therefore, in the professional barber business etc., for example, the first liquid application, hot water washing, drying, hair protection liquid application, shaping by hair iron, intermediate rinse application, second liquid application, hot water cleaning, treatment, drying And the like.

[0006] In particular, in order to straighten the curly hair, in the above-mentioned processing step using the exclusive liquid, the iron is broadly divided according to the length of the hair due to the nature of the hair as described above. And narrow iron can be used properly. That is, an iron having a wide pressing surface is used for long hairs, and an iron having a narrow pressing surface is used for short hairs.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the wide iron, and the iron 11 used for business in the barber business.
It is a perspective view of. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), in the iron 11, a press contact portion 13 integrally formed on a handle 15 and a press contact portion 14 integrally formed on a handle 16 are cross-connected by a shaft 18, and each has a width W of 25 to 25. As shown in FIG. 4 (6), a heater 17 surrounded by an insulator 20 is provided inside the pressure contact portions 13 and 14 formed to have a thickness of 30 mm. 180-200 ° C
This is an iron that slides and pulls while holding the hair between the press-contacting surfaces 13a and 14a while heating the hair to straighten the curved hair.

Wherein the hair press-contact portion is constituted by a wide portion and a narrow portion integrally extended with the wide portion (hereinafter referred to as an iron of the present invention). ).

According to the iron of the present invention, the hair pressing portion is constituted by the wide portion and the narrow portion, and the narrow portion extends integrally with the wide portion. It can function as a narrow iron, so that the work efficiency can be improved by selectively using the wide portion and the narrow portion according to the condition of the hair.

In the present invention, "shaping" refers to permanent (shape) hair straightening (that is, straightening).
Straighten curly hair by straightening straight hair)
In addition, it is a concept that includes waving the hair and performing permanent shaping.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a main part of an iron according to the present embodiment, (a) is a plan view, (b) is a left view,
(C) is a right side view.

As shown in FIG. 1A, this iron 1
Is made of a metal (for example, stainless steel).
3 is, for example, 100 mm in length l ₁ , wider to the right than the extension axis of the handle 4, its width W ₁ is formed to 60 mm, and the tip of the press-contact parts 2, 3 in the extension area of the axis, width _{W 2} which is formed integrally with this 20 mm, length _{l 2} is 30
mm projections 2A, 3A are extended,
The total length L including the handles 4, 5 (partially omitted from the drawing) from the tip of 3A is formed to be 220 mm.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the thickness of the press contact portions 2 and 3 is slightly reduced toward the front, and the thickness t of each of the protrusions 2A and 3A is 8.5 mm. Since the pressure contact portion 2 integral with the handle 5 and the pressure contact portion 3 integral with the handle 5 are cross-connected by the shaft 8, the pressure contact portions 2, 3 and the protrusions 2A, 3A are provided via the handles 4, 5.
The hair can be pinched by the respective press contact surfaces 2a, 3a, 2a ', 3a'. FIG. 1C shows a right side view.

FIG. 2A shows an iron 1 according to the present embodiment.
(B) is a sectional view taken along line bb of (a),
(C) is a sectional view taken along line cc of (a).

As shown in FIG. 2 (b), heaters 7 are provided inside the press contact portions 2 and 3, and an insulator 6 is disposed around the heaters. The heating temperature is adjustable by a temperature controller (not shown).

Further, as shown in FIG.
A and 3A are formed by extending only the same material as the main body of the press contact portions 2 and 3, and can be heated by conduction heat of the heater 7 of each of the press contact portions 2 and 3.

Therefore, the wide press-contact portions 2 and 3 described above are used for shaping the curved hair having a long hair portion, and the narrow protruding portions 2A and 3A are used for shaping the curved hair of the short hair portion such as massaging. The curving of the curly hair by the conventional wide iron 11 and narrow iron 26 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 can be performed only by the same iron 1. Moreover, in this embodiment, the width _{W 1} of the contact portion 2 is 60 mm, wider than the conventional (approximately 25 to 30 mm), also protruding portions 2A,
The width W ₂ of 3A is also 20 mm, it is possible to obtain a high shaping properties because wider than the conventional example.

[0022] By this way the pressure contact portion 2 is to increase the width _{W 1,} for example, sandwiching the hair at a heating temperature of 180 to 200 ° C., (counted by heart) for example about 5 seconds heating - width of the pressure contact portion slowly Even if the heating is performed over the entire length of the hair by repeating the slide-heating for 5 seconds-the width slide of the pressure contact part ... Notable.

Further, since the width of the pressure contact portions 2 and 3 is wide, even if the pressure contact portion slides to the unheated portion, the temperature of the pressure contact portion is less reduced, and continuous use at a predetermined temperature is possible. However, the workability is poor even if the width is too wide, and the width W is required to maintain good workability.
₁ is preferably about 60 mm.

On the other hand, the conventional iron has a width of about 30 mm even though it is wide, so that the temperature of the iron decreases every time the iron is slid to the unheated portion of the hair. But,
If the heating temperature is increased, the temperature will not be increased because the hair will be burned or the like will be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the operation of sliding in the same place twice or more. The iron according to the embodiment has a high work efficiency, and achieves the remarkable effect as described above with a narrow protrusion 2A,
In addition to being able to be used in 3A, it is possible to perform the shaping using the same iron without having to switch the wide iron and the narrow iron each time.

FIGS. 3A and 3B show an iron 10 showing a modification of the iron 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 3A is a perspective view, and FIG.
3A is a cross-sectional view taken along line bb in FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view taken along line cc in FIG.

As shown in the drawing, the difference between the iron 10 and the above-described iron 1 is that a slit 12 is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of each of the press contact portions 2 and 3. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The heater 7a and the insulator 6 are divided right and left by the slit 12 as a boundary.

Thus, it functions in the same manner as the above-described iron 1 and obtains the same effect. In addition, air can be introduced into the hair being heated and shaped via the slit 12 during use.
By discharging steam from the hair, damage to the hair due to heating can be reduced, and the formability can be further improved. Further, the temperature of each of the heaters 7a divided into right and left may have a temperature difference, and the slit 12 may be provided at any one of the press contact portions.

According to the present embodiment, the wide pressure contact portion 2,
Since the narrow protruding portions 2A and 3A are extended at the tip of 3, the same iron 1 can provide both functions of a wide iron and a narrow iron. The trouble of shaping by changing the iron can be eliminated.

The above embodiment can be variously modified based on the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, the protrusions 2A, 3A of the iron 1 according to the embodiment are provided at the tip end of the press contact parts 2, 3 at the axial center extension of the handle, but may be provided at the opposite side or at the center.
In addition, it may be provided not only at the tip but also at the side end.

In the embodiment, the iron has a two-stage width type including a wide portion and a narrow portion. For example, an intermediate width portion may be provided between the wide portion and the narrow portion, or the narrow portion may be provided. It is also possible to have a three-step width or more, such as by providing a still narrower portion.

In the method of heating the pressure contact portion, a temperature difference may be provided between the upstream side and the downstream side (right or left side of the pressure contact portion) during use.

Further, a water supply mechanism may be provided to supply water to the pressure contact portion, and to supply steam as needed.

The hair shaping iron described above can be applied not only to a straight hair iron, but also to a permanent iron having a wave.

The structure and shape of the iron according to the embodiment and the materials used can be appropriately determined.

[0036]

As described above, the hair shaping iron according to the present invention has a hair press-contact portion composed of a pair of openable and closable arms, and heats the hair while pinching the hair between the opposing surfaces of the pair of arms. In the iron for shaping, the hair pressing part is constituted by a wide part and a narrow part integrally extended with the wide part, so that the same iron functions as a wide iron and a narrow iron. Therefore, the working efficiency can be improved by selectively using the wide portion and the narrow portion according to the condition of the hair.
