The practitioner performs a hair washing treatment on the subject.

Further, among the hair washing treatments, there is a work of washing the nape of the subject, but when performing this work in the hair washing device 10 of this example, the practitioner depresses the hair wash table lowering switch 8b to raise and lower the hair wash table. By lowering the hair wash table 1 by the descending operation of the mechanism 4, it becomes possible to comfortably wash the nape of the subject without lifting the head of the subject, and reduce the burden on the beautician during this work. You can Then, when the work is completed, this time, the hair wash stand raising switch 8a is stepped on, and the hair wash stand 1 is returned to the original position by the raising operation of the hair wash stand lifting mechanism 4.

In the above work, the hair wash table may be at the lowest position depending on the height of the practitioner. In that case, the chair raising switch 9a is stepped on and the chair lifting mechanism 5 is raised to perform the treatment. The positional relationship between the person and the hair wash table 1 can be the same as in the above case. Conventionally, since the chair raising switch 9a and the chair lowering switch 9b are attached to the chair 2, it is impossible for the practitioner to operate the chair 2 while working, but in the present invention, the hair washing is performed. Since the chair 2 can be raised and lowered by the foot switch as in the case of the table 1, the practitioner does not need to interrupt the work even when washing the nape.

As described above, since the chair mounting portion 53 allows the chair 2 to be easily mounted and dismounted, even if the subject is a person in a wheelchair, for example, By removing the chair 2 from the hair washing device 10, the person to be treated can undergo a hair washing treatment while not sitting on a wheelchair (not shown).

When performing a hair-washing treatment on a subject in a wheelchair, the practitioner first confirms that the chair mounting portion 53 is at the lowest position before removing the chair 2. When it is not at the lowest position, the chair lowering mechanism 5 is depressed by stepping on the chair lowering switch 9b.
Move it to the lowest position by descending operation of. Then, the chair 2 is removed from the hair washing device 10, and the wheelchair of the subject is moved from the backrest to the position where the chair 2 was originally located.
The wheelchair is fixed so that the subject does not move at a position where the head can be placed on the hair wash table 1. When the position of the hair-washing table 1 is low with respect to the head of the person to be treated, the switch 8a for raising the hair-washing table is depressed, and when it is high, the switch 8b for lowering the hair-washing table is depressed to move the hair-washing table elevating mechanism 5 After adjusting the position of the hair-washing table 1 to be almost at the same height as the position of the head of the person to be treated by raising and lowering the hair, the hair-washing treatment is started.
As a result, when the subject in the wheelchair receives a hair-washing treatment, it is not necessary to switch from the wheelchair to the chair 2, and the burden on the subject can be reduced.

As another example of using the chair 2 by removing the chair 2 from the chair mounting portion 53 in the hair washing device 10,
A case where the subject is a pregnant woman who is close to the end of the month will be described (not shown). The normal chair 2 falls down until its backrest is in a substantially sleeping state. However, the substantially asleep state poses a heavy burden on the abdomen for a pregnant woman close to the end of the month. Therefore, in the hair washing device 10 in which the chair 2 can be easily removed, when performing a hair washing operation on a pregnant woman near the end of the month, the practitioner detaches the chair 2 from the hair washing device 10 and is slightly tilted from the angle of the general office chair. The chair is replaced with a pregnant woman's chair that can only fall down, and this pregnant woman's chair is used for hair washing. As a result, the burden on the abdomen of the pregnant woman who is near the end of the month during the hair washing operation can be reduced.

In addition to the various advantages described above,
Since the hair washing device 10 of the present invention has the hydraulic unit 6 for moving the hair washing base 1 and the chair 2 up and down, installed in the lower portion of the chair 2 and housed in the base cover 7 together with other components, It is also a clean hair, and it has become the hair washing device that is preferred by hairdressers.
