  According to the hair holding device and hair treatment device of the present invention, the hair insertion device can be smoothly inserted or inserted into the spontaneous winding type hair holding device.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the hair holding device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the hair holder 1 of the present embodiment is configured by sheets 23 </ b> A and 23 </ b> B so that the hair bundle H (see FIG. 5) can be inserted from the opening 21 at one end toward the opening 22 at the other end. The cylindrical body 2 is a hair holding tool that is attached so that the state wound up into a predetermined shape is maintained. The sheet 23A forming the surface of the sheet has a stretch ratio of 5% or more under a 5N load, and has a high rigidity part Q having higher rigidity than the center part in the width direction at both ends 24 and 24 along the longitudinal direction. Is formed along the longitudinal direction, and the sheet 23B forming the other surface of the cylindrical body 2 has a Taber stiffness of 0.4 mNm or more. From the viewpoint of securing strength as a hair holder, the elongation is preferably 200% or less, and from the viewpoint of ease of deformation as a hair holder, the Taber stiffness is preferably 10 mNm or less.

The hair holder 1 of this embodiment will be described in detail below.
As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), the cylindrical body 2 is a flat structure constituted by sheets 23A and 23B so that a hair bundle can be inserted from the opening 21 at one end toward the opening 22 at the other end. Two rectangular sheets 23A and 23B having a shape are formed by joining the side end portions 24 and 24 along the longitudinal direction thereof. The size of the cylindrical body 2 is preferably 50 to 350 mm in length, 20 to 100 mm in major axis, and 0 to 30 mm in minor axis, and is appropriately selected according to the length of the hair, the place where the hair is desired to be crushed, and the amount of hair bundle to be inserted. You can choose.

The cylindrical body 2 is creased so that the state wound up in a predetermined shape is maintained. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the cylindrical body 2 is crushed by predetermined means so that the state of being rolled up with the one-sided sheet 23A outside is held. .
Therefore, when the cylindrical body 2 is in a state stretched in the longitudinal direction (see FIGS. 1A and 1B) and released from the state, it is wound up into a roll shape as shown in FIG. It will be able to voluntarily roll up to the state. The hair holder 1 made of such a tubular body 2 has the advantage that no winding operation is required and means for holding the winding form such as a clip is unnecessary.

A sheet (hereinafter also referred to as “one-sided sheet”) 23 </ b> A that forms one surface is easily stretched by using an easily stretchable material. The single-sided sheet 23A has an elongation rate under 5N load of 5% or more, and preferably 10% or more. When the elongation rate is 5% or more, the stress generated when the hair bundle is inserted into the hair holder and wound up is sufficiently relaxed, and the hair bundle is difficult to roll up into a non-uniform shape.
“Elongation rate under 5N load” in the present invention is an elongation rate (tensile strain) measured by “Testing method of tensile properties of film and sheet” defined in JIS K7127, and the sheet is cylindrical with a 5N load. It is the ratio (percentage) of elongation after pulling to the length before pulling when pulling in the longitudinal direction of the body. In the tensile test, the pulling speed is 20 mm / min, and the span distance is 100 mm.

As shown in FIG. 2, the single-sided sheet 23 </ b> A has a high-rigidity portion Q (having a dotted hatching in FIGS. 1 and 2) at both end portions 24, 24 along the longitudinal direction. The indicated part) is formed. The “width direction central portion (of the single-sided sheet 23 </ b> A)” here refers to an area of two thirds of the single-sided sheet 23 </ b> A in the width direction.
In addition, the region P of the single-sided sheet 23A other than the high-rigidity portion Q (in this embodiment, a left-downward hatching portion shown in FIG. 2) P is referred to as a “low-rigidity portion”. The ratio of the high rigidity portion Q in the one-sided sheet 23A [area of the high rigidity portion Q / (area of the low rigidity portion P + area of the high rigidity portion Q)] is preferably 8% to 50%, more preferably 10% to 30%. When the ratio (area%) of the high-rigidity portion Q is 8% to 50%, the hair insertion tool and the insertion property of the hair and the balance of stress relaxation during deformation are good.
The high-rigidity portion Q is preferably provided over 80% or more in the longitudinal direction of the single-sided sheet 23A. In the present embodiment, the high-rigidity part Q is provided over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the single-sided sheet 23A.

  The high rigidity portion Q has a Taber stiffness of preferably 0.4 mNm or more, and more preferably 1 mNm or more. The “Taber stiffness” is a Taber stiffness measured by a “stiffness test method” defined in JIS P8125. When the Taber stiffness is 0.4 mNm or more, the hair insertion tool and the hair insertion property are remarkably improved.

  The sheet forming the other surface (hereinafter also referred to as “other surface sheet”) 23B has a Taber stiffness of 0.4 mN · m or more, preferably 1 mN · m or more. When the Taber stiffness of the other side sheet is 0.4 mN · m or more, when the hair is inserted into the hair holder and rolled up, buckling deformation or the like hardly occurs on the other side sheet, and sufficient tension acts on the hair. The finish of the curl is excellent, and the strength of the curl is not easily reduced.

In the hair holding device of this embodiment, it is preferable that the extension rate of the one-sided sheet 23A under a 5N load is 15 times or more larger than that of the other-side sheet under a 5N load, and it is 30 times or more larger. More preferably.
If the elongation rate is 15 times or more, the stress generated during deformation can be sufficiently eliminated by the one-sided sheet 23A, and non-uniform deformation or buckling deformation hardly occurs in the other-sided sheet 23B. As a result, the curl of the hair is finished. Is excellent, curl strength is difficult to weaken.

Examples of the material forming the low-rigidity portion P of the single-sided sheet 23A include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyester resin, and polyacrylic resin. In the present embodiment, an air-through nonwoven fabric using a polyester resin is used.
Examples of the material forming the high-rigidity portion Q of the single-sided sheet 23A include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyester resin, and polyacrylic resin. In this embodiment, a spunbonded nonwoven fabric using a polyester resin is used.
Examples of the material for forming the other surface sheet 23B include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyester resin, and polyacrylic resin. In this embodiment, a spunbonded nonwoven fabric using a polyester resin is used.
The thickness of the single-sided sheet 23A and the other-sided sheet 23B is preferably 30 μm to 500 μm.

In the single-sided sheet 23A in the present embodiment, the low-rigidity portion P and the high-rigidity portion Q are joined in a butted form as shown in FIG. The abutting form is not limited to a complete abutting form, and may be a form in which the low-rigidity part P and the high-rigidity part Q are slightly overlapped to ensure ease of manufacture and bonding strength.
In order to attach the tubular body 2 to the tubular body 2, for example, the tubular body is wound into a roll shape, the wound form is held by a predetermined means, and the tubular body is heated to a predetermined temperature under the state. .

Next, as a preferred embodiment of the hair treatment device of the present invention, a hair insertion tool used in combination with the hair holder 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
The hair treatment device of this embodiment is a hair treatment device comprising the hair holder 1 shown in FIG. 1 and a hair insertion tool 3 for inserting or inserting a hair bundle H (see FIG. 4) into the hair holder 1. The hair insertion tool 3 is inserted or inserted into the hair holding tool 1 while its insertion end 33 is regulated by the high rigidity portion Q of the hair holding tool 1.

The hair insertion tool 3 in this embodiment is explained in full detail.
As shown in FIG. 3, the hair insertion tool 3 according to the present embodiment includes a plate member having a uniform thickness, and includes a long main body 31 and a locking portion 32 connected to one end of the main body 31. . The locking part 32 has a frame shape and can lock the hair bundle H.
The insertion end 33 of the main body 31 (the end on the side to be inserted into the hair holder when inserted into the hair holder) is one end of which the tip 34 is along the longitudinal direction of the hair insert 3 It has a shape close to.

Next, one usage mode using the hair holding tool shown in FIG. 1 and the hair insertion tool 3 shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the hair bundle H is locked to the locking portion 32 of the hair insertion tool 3. Here, the hair holder 1 has a shape wound up into a roll shape by squeezing. Next, as shown in FIG. 4A, the hair insertion tool 3 is inserted from the insertion end 33 side of the tubular body 2 of the hair holder 1 with the hair bundle H locked to the locking part 32. Insert into the opening 21 at one end.

  Here, the single-sided sheet 23 </ b> A of the cylindrical body 2 is easy to extend and the cylindrical body 2 is crushed, so that the sharp end 34 of the insertion end 33 of the hair insertion tool 3 is the single-sided sheet of the cylindrical body 2. It will be in the state which is easy to catch on 23A. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4A, the tip end portion 34 of the insertion end portion 33 of the hair insertion tool 3 is inserted through the inside of the tubular body 2 while being regulated by the high-rigidity portion Q. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, the hair insertion tool 3 is configured so that the tubular body 2 in the rolled-up state is gradually made substantially linear without the insertion end 33 being caught by the one-side sheet 23 </ b> A of the tubular body 2. While extending, the inside of the cylindrical body 2 is smoothly inserted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the hair insertion tool 3 is inserted into the tubular body 2 until the insertion end 33 is exposed from the opening 22 at the other end of the tubular body 2, The entire tubular body 2 of the tool 1 is stretched substantially linearly by the hair insertion tool 3.
And the hair insertion tool 3 is extracted from the opening part 22 of the other end of the cylindrical body 2, as shown in FIG.4 (c). In the present invention, from the viewpoint of hair insertability, the hair inserter is previously inserted into the hair holder, then the hair is set on the hair inserter, and the hair inserter is removed from the hair holder. It is preferable to guide the hair to the hair holder.

In this way, when the hair insertion tool 3 is inserted from the opening 21 at one end of the cylindrical body 2 into the opening 22 at the other end, the tip of the hair bundle H is slightly opened from the opening 22 at the other end of the cylindrical body 2. It will be in a protruding state. Thereafter, the cylindrical body 2 is voluntarily rolled up with the one-sided sheet 23 </ b> A on the outside as shown in FIGS. Thereafter, a permanent hair treatment agent is applied to the hair bundle H from the outside of the cylindrical body 2. The hair treatment agent is applied to the hair bundle H via the one side sheet 23A and the other side sheet 23B. After a predetermined time, the hair bundle H is inserted and removed from the tubular body 2, and the perm treatment is completed by washing the hair. As a result, a predetermined curl can be imparted to the hair bundle.
In addition, it is not always necessary to protrude the front end of the hair bundle H from the opening 22 at the other end of the cylindrical body 2. Moreover, the hair bundle includes those in which a certain number of hairs are bundled, although they are not clearly bundled.

  As described above, according to the hair holder and the hair treatment apparatus of the present embodiment, the inside of the tubular body 2 of the hair holder 1 that is damped so that the state wound up in a predetermined shape is held is locked. The hair insertion tool 3 in which the hair bundle H is locked to the portion 32 can be inserted while its insertion end 33 is regulated by the high-rigidity portion Q of the tubular body 2. Therefore, the hair insertion tool 3 is directed from the opening 21 at one end of the tubular body 2 to the opening 22 at the other end without the insertion end 33 of the hair insertion tool 3 being caught by the one-side sheet 23 </ b> A of the tubular body 2. Thus, the cylindrical body 2 can be inserted while being stretched substantially linearly. Therefore, the hair insertion tool 3 can be smoothly inserted or inserted into the spontaneous winding type hair holder 1.

  In the cylindrical body 2, an extension force is applied to the one-side sheet 23 </ b> A having a large peripheral diameter, but the one-side sheet 23 </ b> A is easier to extend in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body 2 than the other-side sheet 23 </ b> B. The entire sheet 23A easily extends. As a result, a certain amount of tension is applied to the hair bundle H inserted through the tubular body 2. Therefore, a beautiful curl can be easily and reliably imparted to the hair.

  In order to prevent irregular deformation, shrinkage and breakage, and to obtain a firm hook when hair is combed, especially with perm treatment, a state in which moderate tension is acting on the hair It is preferable to carry out the treatment. In the present embodiment, the one-sided sheet 23A is easily stretched, and the other-sided sheet 23B is given a certain rigidity, so that tension is inevitably applied to the hair simultaneously with the winding of the hair holder. As a result, it is possible to impart clean curls to the hair easily and reliably.

  Next, another embodiment of the hair holder of the present invention will be described. About these embodiments, only points different from the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described, and the explanation regarding the embodiment shown in FIG. And also in the hair holding tool of other embodiment, a hair insertion tool can be smoothly inserted or penetrated into the spontaneous winding type hair holding tool.

  In the hair holder 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the single-sided sheet 23 </ b> A of the cylindrical body 2 is made to face the low-rigidity part P and the high-rigidity part Q like the single-sided sheet 23 </ b> A in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. The sheet which forms the highly rigid part Q is affixed on the surface of the both-sides edge part of the sheet | seat over the both-sides edge part 24 and 24 of the cylindrical body 2 which is not joined. Thus, the single-sided sheet 23A having the high-rigidity portion Q can be formed by bonding the surfaces of different sheets together.

In the hair holder 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7A, a large number of gap portions 25 </ b> A having a width of approximately ¼ of the width are formed on the one-side sheet 23 </ b> A of the cylindrical body 2. As shown in FIG. 7A, in the state where the cylindrical body 2 is erected, the gap portion 25A is juxtaposed with two gap portions 25A spaced apart in the width direction at the same height. In addition, the two gap portions 25A are juxtaposed in the width direction at a position shifted from the two gap portions 25A formed in the upper portion thereof by approximately ¼ of the width of the single-sided sheet 23A. The high rigidity part Q is formed in the both side edge parts 24 and 24 of the sheet | seat 23A, and is the same as the hair holder of embodiment shown in FIG.
Also in the hair holder 1 of embodiment shown to Fig.7 (a), the effect similar to the hair holder of embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is acquired.

In the hair holder 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7B, a large number of gap portions 25 </ b> B that are inclined at an angle of 45 ° are formed on the one-side sheet 23 </ b> A of the cylindrical body 2. As shown in FIG. 7 (b), the gap 25B has three gaps 25B juxtaposed in the width direction with the same height and the same inclination in the state where the cylindrical body 2 is erected. The three gaps 25B below the three gaps 25B formed in the upper part thereof are different from the three gaps 25B in the width direction by changing the inclination by 180 ° to a position shifted by about 1/6 of the width of the sheet 23A. They are juxtaposed apart. The high rigidity part Q is formed in the both side edge parts 24 and 24 of the sheet | seat 23A, and is the same as the hair holder of embodiment shown in FIG.
In the hair holder 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 7B, the same effect as that of the hair holder of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 can be obtained.

The hair holder of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed as shown below, for example, without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
The highly rigid portion Q may be formed only on one of the end portions along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body 2. The high-rigidity portion Q does not necessarily have to be provided at the joint portion between the one-side sheet 23A and the other-side sheet 23B. In that case, if the insertion end portion 33 of the hair insertion tool 3 is regulated by the high-rigidity portion Q and can be inserted or inserted into the hair holder 1, the high-rigidity portion Q becomes the one-side sheet 23A and the other-side sheet 23B. It may be slightly separated from the joint part.
