  However, in the case of the conventional electric hair iron having the above-described configuration, the surface in contact with the hair, that is, the surface of the upper heating plate and the surface of the lower heating plate are formed flat. For this reason, in order to straighten the hair, the user had to pull with a strong force.

  Therefore, there is a problem that force is applied to straighten the hair and the hair comes off. Furthermore, since the hair cannot be straightened easily and is repeatedly operated, the hair is damaged by heat, and the user's wrist is fatigued due to prolonged work.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved curling iron capable of naturally stretching hair easily and curling. is there.

  In order to solve the above problems, according to an aspect of the present invention, an upper handgrip and a lower part are configured such that one end is coupled and brought into contact with a hinge part, and a heating part heated by electricity is provided inside. It has a handgrip and an upper heating plate and a lower heating plate that are provided on the contact surface of each handgrip and are heated by the heating unit to generate heat. The surface of the upper and lower heating plates is hemispherical. There is provided a hair iron formed by arranging recesses and projections separately from each other. At this time, the concave and convex portions are arranged so as to be engaged with each other when the upper heating plate and the lower heating plate are in contact with each other, and both ends of each heating plate are formed in a straight line.

  With such a configuration, it is not necessary to apply excessive force to straighten the hair, so that the hair can be prevented from coming off. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to repeat the operation many times, the hair can be prevented from being damaged by heat, and wrist fatigue can be reduced.

  Further, the concave portions and the convex portions on the surfaces of the upper heat generating plate and the lower heat generating plate are formed in a row. At this time, it is preferable that the rows of concave portions and the rows of convex portions are alternately formed, and the concave portions are arranged so as to be positioned between the convex portions and the convex portions.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the uneven shape formed on the upper heating plate and the lower heating plate allows the user to naturally stretch hair and make curl without requiring excessive force. We can provide a hair iron.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

Moreover, FIG. 2 is a side view which shows the state by which the heat generating plate of the hair iron concerning this embodiment was spread. Furthermore, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the heating plate of the hair iron according to the present embodiment is closed. FIG. 4 is a side view showing a state where the heating plate of the hair iron according to the present embodiment is closed. And FIG. 5 is a front view which shows the state which the heat generating plate of the hair iron concerning this embodiment closed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the hair iron according to the present embodiment is provided on the upper hand grip 1 and the lower hand grip 2 configured to come into contact with each other, and the contact surfaces of the hand grips 1 and 2. An upper heat generating plate 3 and a lower heat generating plate 4 that release heat are formed.

  The upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 are configured such that one end is rotatably coupled by a hinge portion 5 and is in contact with each other. The upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 configured as described above are provided with an elastic support portion 6 at a position away from the hinge portion 5 in the direction of the other end by a predetermined distance.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the elastic support portion 6 is elastically supported with the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 being always expanded when the user is not pressing the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2. To do. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, when the user pushes the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 to close and straightens the hair, and then weakens the force pushing the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2. The upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 spread in the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 due to the restoring force of the elastic support portion 6.

  In the other end of the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 (on the side opposite to the hinge portion 5), as indicated by the dotted lines in FIG. 2 and FIG. Applied. In this portion, heating units 8 and 9 in the form of coils for heating the upper heating plate 3 and the lower heating plate 4 are respectively provided.

  On the other hand, the lower hand grip 2 is provided with a power switch 10 for applying or shutting off power to the heating units 8 and 9. Further, both ends (side portions) of each of the heat generating plates 3 and 4 are formed in a linear shape, that is, a plane.

  The upper heat generating plate 3 and the lower heat generating plate 4 are portions in direct contact with hair, and are heated by the operation of the heating units 8 and 9 and then release heat at an appropriate temperature.

  The upper heat generating plate 3 and the lower heat generating plate 4 are provided on the other end side (the side opposite to the hinge portion 5) of the upper hand grip 1 and the lower hand grip 2. On the surface, for example, hemispherical concavo-convex portions 11 and 12 are arrayed and separated from each other.

  The uneven portions 11 and 12 formed on the upper heat generating plate 3 and the lower heat generating plate 4 are arranged in a certain form so that the hair is arranged in a certain shape. For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 5, the rows of the concave portions 11a and 12a and the rows of the convex portions 11b and 12b are alternately formed. At this time, the concavo-convex portions 11 of the upper heat generating plate 3 are arranged to engage with the concavo-convex portions 12 of the lower heat generating plate 4. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the concave portions 12a of the lower heat generating plate 4 are formed in an intermediate row, and the convex portions 12b are formed in rows on both sides of the concave portion 12a. Then, the convex portions 11b of the upper heat generating plate 3 are formed in an intermediate row, and the concave portions 11a are formed in rows on both sides of the convex portion 11b.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the concave portions 11a and 12a formed in the respective heat generating plates 3 and 4 are formed so as to be positioned between the convex portions 11b and 12b and the convex portions 11b and 12b. As a result, the hair does not pass in a straight line but passes while forming a waveform.

  Next, the effect | action of the hair iron concerning this embodiment is demonstrated.

  First, a user inserts a power plug (not shown) connected to the cord 7 into an outlet and turns on the power switch 10. Then, the upper heating plate 3 and the lower heating plate 4 are heated to an appropriate temperature by the heating units 8 and 9.

  Next, when the upper heating plate 3 and the lower heating plate 4 are heated to an appropriate temperature, the hair is sandwiched between the upper heating plate 3 and the lower heating plate 4. Then, when the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 are pressed so as to be closed, the hair can be straightened by moving it while sliding to the hair tip. In addition, by putting hair between the upper heat generating plate 3 and the lower heat generating plate 4 and sliding it lightly while pressing the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2 so as to be closed, and maintaining that state for a certain time, Can curl hair.

  At this time, for example, hemispherical irregularities 11, 12 formed on the surfaces of the upper heating plate 3 and the lower heating plate 4, that is, the hair corrugates between the recesses 11a, 12a and the projections 11b, 12b. As you pass through the hair, your hair will naturally grow straight. And since the hair is kept in a wavy state for a certain period of time, curls are made naturally.

  Therefore, the hair can be trimmed without applying a large force to the upper handgrip 1 and the lower handgrip 2, and hair can be prevented from coming off. Furthermore, since hair is not excessively heated, hair damage can be reduced.
