[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The comb-type silent drier of the present invention has a configuration in which many comb teeth for combing hair are planted on a base provided at the tip of the handle, like the comb and the hair brush, but the comb teeth generate heat. Thus, hair makeup, drying and the like can be performed by combing the hair. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.
[0013]
(Embodiment 1)
1 and 2 are views showing a comb-type silent dryer according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of comb teeth 3 which generate heat so as to be able to adjust the temperature are planted on a base 2 provided at the tip of a handle 1, as shown in FIGS. The handle 1 is formed in a rod shape, and the base 2 provided at the tip thereof is formed in a rectangular shape. The handle 1 and the base 2 can be made of a heat-insulating material such as plastic or wood.
[0014]
Further, semicircular concave portions 40 are provided on the left and right sides near the tip of the handle 1, and a plurality of fins 41 made of an elastic member such as an elastomer are formed in these concave portions 40 to constitute the grip portion 4. ing. The grip portion 4 is hung between the index finger and the thumb when the handle 1 is gripped, and when firmly gripped, the fins 41 are appropriately elastically deformed to prevent the finger from slipping.
[0015]
A power switch 5 for turning on and off the heat of the comb teeth 3 and controlling the temperature is provided at an upper portion near the tip of the handle 1. Further, a power cord 6 connected to an external power source such as an indoor electrical outlet is provided at the tail end of the handle 1.
[0016]
On the other hand, the comb teeth 3 are formed integrally with the hot plate 7 on which the heater H is formed, as shown in FIG. That is, a plurality of comb teeth 3 are provided at equal intervals on one long side of the heating plate 7 made of a rectangular plate material. The shape of each comb tooth 3 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape. Although the heater H is formed on one side of the hot plate 7, it may be formed on both sides of the hot plate 7 or may be embedded in the hot plate 7. The heater H is stuck on the hot plate 7 so that the entire surface of the hot plate 7 can be uniformly and efficiently heated. This is to ensure that heat is uniformly transmitted from the hot plate 7 to each comb tooth 3.
[0017]
The heat plate 7 and the comb teeth 3 can be entirely formed of a heat conductive metal such as stainless steel, iron, copper, and aluminum, a heat conductive resin such as carbon plastic, and a heat conductive material such as heat conductive ceramics. Further, it can be formed of a composition in which a heat conductive material is mixed or a surface is coated. Further, the heater H is formed of a heating wire such as a nichrome wire or a tungsten wire, but may be a planar heating element formed by pressing, etching, plasma or the like.
[0018]
Note that the surface of the heating plate 7 to which the heater H is attached may be coated with a ceramic coating or the like so that the heater H is brought into close contact with the heating plate 7 to a high degree. This is because the higher the degree of close contact between the heater H and the heating plate 7, the more efficiently the heating plate 7 can generate heat and reduce power consumption. Further, the comb teeth 3 are formed integrally with the heating plate 7, but may be configured such that they are separated from each other to conduct heat from the heating plate 7 to the comb teeth 3.
[0019]
A lead wire D connected to the power cord 6 is connected to the terminal portion T of the heater H, and the power switch 5 is connected in the middle of the lead wire D. Therefore, when the power cord 6 is connected to an external power source such as an electric outlet and the power switch 5 is turned on, the heater H generates heat. The heating plate 7 is heated by the heat generated by the heater H, and then the comb teeth 3 formed integrally with the heating plate 7 are heated.
[0020]
The power switch 5 has a temperature control function as described above. The temperature control function is such that the amount of current to the heater H is varied by sliding the power switch 5 in multiple stages, and the like. Since the calorific value of H is adjusted, the temperature of the comb teeth 3 transferred from the hot plate 7 is also adjusted in several steps. Thereby, the temperature of the comb teeth 3 can be adjusted according to the purpose such as hair setting, straight perm or drying, and according to the hair quality such as the hardness of the hair.
[0021]
Note that the power switch 5 may not be provided with a temperature adjusting function, and the heater H may be heated to a constant temperature by turning on the power switch 5. Further, a battery or the like may be incorporated in the handle 1, and power may be supplied to the heater H from the battery, and the power cord 6 may be eliminated.
[0022]
The hot plate 7 is buried in the base 2 so that the comb teeth 3 project vertically from the lower surface of the base 2. In this example, three hot plates 7 are arranged in the width direction of the base 2 and embedded in the base 2, and the comb teeth 3 in each row are arranged so as to be alternate with the comb teeth 3 in the adjacent row. (See FIG. 2). By alternately arranging the comb teeth 3 in this manner, the hair in a bundle state passed between the comb teeth 3 is brought into contact with the side surfaces of the comb teeth 3 with resistance, and thereby the hair inside the bundle is also contacted. Good heat transfer. In addition, although the said hotplate 7 is comprised by three sheets, other plural sheets may be sufficient and only one sheet may be sufficient. However, when the number of the heating plates 7 is one, it is preferable that the pitch between the comb teeth 3 is narrowed so that the hair does not easily pass in a bundle between the comb teeth 3 when combing the hair.
[0023]
Further, protection pins 8 as protection members longer than the comb teeth 3 are planted at appropriate intervals around the lower surface of the base 2. The protection pin 8 is made of a material having high heat insulation such as plastic, and is separated from the hot plate 7 and is implanted on the base 2. Therefore, since the base 2 is also formed of a heat insulating material, the protection pin 8 does not become hot due to heat transfer from the hot plate 7. And since the said protection pin 8 is formed longer than the comb tooth 3, at the time of combing hair, the protection pin 8 contacts a scalp and prevents the hot comb tooth 3 from contacting a scalp. ing. The tip of the protection pin 8 is rounded so that it does not damage the scalp even when rubbed against the scalp.
[0024]
Next, how to use the comb-type silent dryer will be briefly described. When the power switch 5 of the comb-type silent dryer is turned on and the comb teeth 3 are heated to a predetermined temperature to melt the hair, the comb teeth 3 directly heat the hair. At this time, since the protective pins 8 are in contact with the scalp to prevent contact with the comb teeth 3 in a heated state, there is no discomfort that the scalp is heated and no scalp is burned. . Since the comb teeth 3 are alternately arranged with the comb teeth 3 in the adjacent row, the hair in a bundled state passed between the comb teeth 3 is brought into contact with the side surface of the comb teeth 3 with resistance, and Thus, heat is well transferred to the hair inside the bundle without blowing strong hot air.
[0025]
As described above, the hair is curled by heating the hair from the comb teeth 3. Accordingly, by combing the hair with the same feeling as a normal comb or the like, the hair can be easily added. In addition, since hot air is not blown, no unpleasant sounds such as motor noise of a blower or hot air blowing noise are produced, and hair is not disturbed.
[0026]
As described above, according to the comb-type silent dryer of the first embodiment, discomfort due to harsh sound caused by strong hot air blowing is not given, and the hair can be curled only by the comb teeth 3. Therefore, hair and makeup such as hair set, straight perm, and wave perm can be easily performed.
[0027]
In addition, since the hair is directly heated only by the heated comb teeth 3, it is not necessary to heat the hair more than necessary as in the case of blowing strong hot air, so that excessive heating does not damage the hair. . In addition, there is no discomfort caused by heating the scalp by hot air. Further, in the case of wet hair after washing, the comb teeth 3 can remove moisture interposed in the hair and simultaneously heat the hair, so that the hair can be dried quickly.
[0028]
(Embodiment 2)
3 and 4 are views showing a comb-type silent dryer according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, this comb-type silent dryer has a large number of air outlets 9 provided on the lower surface of the base 2 on which the comb teeth 3 are to be implanted, and discharges weak air from the air outlets 9. It is intended to be. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, a hollow portion 90 communicating with the air discharge port 9 is provided inside the base 2, and a rear communication passage 91 communicating with the hollow portion 90 is exchangeably housed inside the handle 1. The nozzle of the air cylinder B (air source) is connected. An air discharge switch S of the air cylinder B is provided on the outer surface of the handle 1. When the air discharge switch S is turned on, air in the air cylinder B passes through the rear communication passage 91 and is sent into the hollow portion 90. Then, weak air is discharged from the air discharge port 9. It should be noted that almost no sound is generated by the air discharge from the air cylinder B or the weak air blow from the air discharge port 9.
[0029]
As described above, in the comb-type silent drier according to the second embodiment, since the weak air is released, the water evaporation of the hair can be promoted. Is performed quickly, and the heating efficiency of the hair by the comb teeth 3 can be further improved.
[0030]
The hollow portion 90 may be formed so as to avoid the hot plate 7, but as shown in FIG. 3, it is formed so that a part of the hot plate 7 embedded in the base 2 is exposed. You may. As a result, the air in the hollow portion 90 is heated by the hot plate 7, and the weak air that has become warm air is released from the air discharge port 9, which can further promote the evaporation of water from the hair.
[0031]
The air cylinder B is used as the air source for the weak air, but a fan with a quiet motor sound may be provided inside the handle 1 instead. Further, a negative ion generator may be provided in the hollow portion 90 so that negative ions are simultaneously released during the weak air blown from the air discharge port 9. Thereby, a healing effect of negative ions can be imparted to the hair and the scalp. Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.
[0032]
(Other)
The present invention is not limited to the first and second embodiments, and for example, the following modifications are possible.
[0033]
(1) A heat insulating portion may be formed at the tip of the comb teeth 3 so that the heated comb teeth 3 do not come into contact with the scalp. The heat insulating portion may be formed by coating the tip of the comb teeth 3 with heat insulating resin or the like, or, as shown in FIG. 5 (b). Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), a concave portion is provided at the distal end portion of the comb tooth 3, and the heat insulating member 31 having a spherical distal end is fitted into the concave portion. You may. Since such a heat insulating portion is used in place of the protection pin 8, the protection pin 8 need not be provided in this case.
[0034]
(2) The comb teeth 3 themselves may be formed in a polygonal column shape, a column shape, or the like. When the comb teeth 3 are formed in a triangular prism shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the comb teeth 3a1 in the first row outside the base 2 may be arranged so that the vertices of the triangle face outward. . As a result, the vertices of the triangular comb teeth 3a1 face in the direction in which the hair is combed, so that the comb teeth are improved and the hair can be combed smoothly. In this case, at least one oblique side a of the comb teeth 3a2 in the second outer row (the center row in FIG. 6) is in the same direction as one outward oblique side A in the comb teeth 3a1 in the first outer row. It is preferable to arrange them in such a manner. As a result, the comb teeth can be brought into good surface contact with the hair, so that the heating efficiency of the hair can be improved.
[0035]
(3) As shown in FIG. 7, the hot plate 7 is buried in the base 2 with the surface laid flat and a plurality of comb teeth 3 are provided on the lower surface of the flat heat plate 7a. You may do so. Thus, only one hot plate 7a is required.
[0036]
(4) As shown in FIG. 8, the comb teeth 3 may be plate-shaped comb teeth 3 b formed in a curved plate shape extending in the width direction of the base 2 and arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the base 2. By forming the comb teeth 3b in a curved plate shape, the contact area of the comb teeth 3b with the hair can be increased, and the heating efficiency for the hair can be further improved.
[0037]
(5) As shown in FIG. 9, the base 2 may be a circular base 2a formed in a columnar shape and a round type having a large number of comb teeth 3 implanted on the outer peripheral surface of the circular base 2a. Good. The use of such a round type is particularly advantageous in that it is easy to wind the hair around the comb teeth 3 by rotating the circular base 2a and to hang the wave.
[0038]
(6) The surface of the comb teeth 3 may be coated with a ceramic material of far-infrared ray emitting material so that far-infrared rays are emitted from each comb tooth 3. Thereby, the heating of the hair can be further promoted by the far infrared ray effect radiated from the comb teeth 3.
[0039]
(7) Further, the surface of the comb teeth 3 may be coated with a negative ion emitting substance such as tourmaline so that each comb tooth 3 generates a negative ion. Thereby, the healing effect can be given to the hair by the negative ions generated from the comb teeth 3.
[0040]
【The invention's effect】
According to the comb-type silent dryer of the present invention, a base formed of a heat insulating material, a number of comb teeth implanted on the base and combing hair, and embedded in the base to form a heater are formed. A heating plate, and the comb teeth have a heat conductive material, and are configured to be capable of generating heat by being connected to the heating plate. Then, the hair is directly heated while melting the hair by the heated comb teeth, so that the hair can be curled. Therefore, it is possible to easily perform hair makeup, such as hair setting and perm, with heated comb teeth, without generating a harsh sound, disturbing the hair by strong hot air. In addition, the hair does not need to be heated more than necessary as in the case of blowing strong hot air, so that there is no discomfort caused by heating the scalp and the hair is not damaged by excessive heating. In addition, in the case of wet hair after shampooing, the hair can be heated at the same time as the moisture interposed in the hair is scraped off by the comb teeth, so that the hair can be dried quickly.
[0041]
Further, the comb teeth are planted in a plurality of rows on the base, and are arranged alternately with the comb teeth in the adjacent row, and the hair is bundled and passed between the comb teeth. Also, the side faces of the alternately arranged comb teeth are contacted with a predetermined resistance. Therefore, heat can be transferred well to the hair inside the bundle without blowing strong hot air, and the efficiency of heating the hair can be improved.
[0042]
Further, the base is formed in a rectangular shape, and the comb teeth are formed in a curved plate shape and are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular base. It is possible to increase the heating efficiency of the hair. Further, by making the comb teeth plate-shaped, there is no fear that hair is entangled with the comb teeth.
[0043]
In addition, when the base is provided with a heat-insulating protective member longer than the comb teeth, when the hair is combed, the protective member is brought into contact with the scalp and the hot comb teeth contact only the hair. It will not come into contact with the scalp. Therefore, there is no discomfort to heat the scalp, and no scalp is burned.
[0044]
Further, when the tip of the comb teeth is formed of a heat insulating portion, the heat insulating portion of the tip is brought into contact with the scalp, and it is possible to reliably prevent the heated comb teeth from directly contacting the scalp. Therefore, there is no discomfort that the scalp is heated by the heated comb teeth, and it is also possible to surely prevent the scalp from being burned.
[0045]
Further, in the case where a large number of air outlets are provided on the base surface on which the comb teeth are implanted and which are connected to an air generation source to emit a weak air blow, the weak air is blown out from the air outlet, It can promote moisture evaporation of hair. Therefore, the water removal of the hair is quickly performed in combination with the water removing action of the comb teeth, and the heating efficiency of the hair can be further improved.
