  The present invention relates to beads for attaching various objects such as hair materials for hair thickening and accessories, and a tool for the beads.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method of increasing hair, a method of inserting hair and hair material into a beaded or tube-shaped fixture, and crimping the fixture to attach the hair material to the hair is employed. Moreover, the following patent document 1 discloses a fastening device for hair that is attached to hair having a ring body or a cylindrical body formed in two layers.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-60721

  However, in the case where the conventional fixture is mainly formed of a metal such as aluminum or brass, it may cause metal allergy depending on the wearer's constitution if it is attached to a portion close to the scalp. In addition, as shown in Patent Document 1, the inner layer is formed of rubber, urethane resin, or other elastic synthetic resin material, and the outer layer is coated with corrosion-resistant aluminum or other light metal to improve the wearing feeling. Since it is necessary to form a two-layer structure, the manufacturing process is increased, and the inner layer is made of a resin material, which causes inconvenience that the hair easily slips.

  The present invention focuses on the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bead that can be used not only for hair thickening but also for many purposes, while having a simple structure and being less susceptible to metal allergy. Another object is to provide a bead tool for easy bead removal.

  In order to achieve the above object, the bead of the present invention is a substantially cylindrical bead formed with an insertion hole through which an object to be attached can be inserted, and is formed of stainless steel and is solidified after forming the stainless steel It is characterized in that it can be deformed by performing treatment (or solution treatment).

  The bead tool of the present invention is a bead tool in which a pair of members each having a gripping part and a handle part are rotatably coupled by a shaft, and the bead is sandwiched between the deformed beads. It is characterized in that at least one groove for pressing in the direction in which the shape is restored is provided. One of the main forms is characterized in that the grip portion is provided with a flat portion for crushing with a bead interposed therebetween. Another aspect is characterized in that a decoration is provided on the handle portion. Yet another embodiment is characterized in that a transparent cover is provided on the handle portion. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.

  In the present invention, since the substantially cylindrical bead in which the insertion hole through which the object can be inserted is formed can be deformed by applying a solid solution treatment (or solution treatment) after the forming of stainless steel, the metal allergy is caused. This makes it possible to obtain beads that are difficult to set up and have an excellent wearing feeling. In addition, since the groove that can be pressed in the direction of restoring the deformed bead shape is provided in the grip portion of the tool, an effect that the bead can be easily removed can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail based on examples.

  First, Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this example, the beads of the present invention are applied to hair attachment. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view and a plan view showing a hair-attaching bead of the present embodiment and how it is attached, and FIG. 2 is a plan view and a cross-sectional view showing a state of removing the hair-attaching bead, FIGS. (D) is a figure which shows the tool for beads of the said bead. The hair mounting bead 10 (hereinafter referred to as “bead 10”) of the present embodiment is for increasing the hair of the head. As shown in FIG. An insertion hole 14 through which a plurality of hair materials 16 and ground hair 20 can be simultaneously inserted is formed. The main body 12 has a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction formed thick, and at both ends of the insertion hole 14, the hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 that have passed through the insertion hole 14 are prevented from being cut. In addition, a rounded cutting portion 18 is formed.

  The main body 12 is formed by subjecting a stainless steel to a desired shape and then applying a solution treatment (or solution treatment). Similar to titanium, the stainless steel is less susceptible to metal allergies, has better processability than titanium, and is advantageous in terms of cost. However, since it has the property of being easily cracked as it is molded, a heat treatment called solid solution (or solution) is applied in order to avoid sticking and cracking. Thus, by performing a solid solution (solution) treatment after molding, beads that are hard at the time of molding and easy to perform the molding process, and that are hard to break even after being crushed can be obtained after the solution treatment.

  FIG. 3A shows a bead tool 30 used for attaching and removing the beads 10. As shown in FIG. 3 (A), the bead tool 30 has a main body 32 having a gripping portion 32A and a handle portion 32B, and a main body 34 having a gripping portion 34A and a handle portion 34B, which can rotate about a shaft 36. A pair of grooves 38 and 40 are formed at appropriate positions of the gripping portions 32A and 34A. The grooves 38 and 40 press the bead 10 deformed into a flat shape in a direction to restore its shape, and the shape and size are appropriately set according to the bead 10. The handle portions 32B and 34B are provided with patterns 46A and 46B, respectively, and are further covered with covers 48A and 48B. It is convenient to use transparent covers 48A and 48B regardless of whether they are colored or colorless so that the patterns 46A and 46B are not hidden.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. First, when attaching the bead 10, as shown in FIG. 1 (A-1), the wearer's ground hair 20 and the hair material 16 for increasing hair are inserted through the insertion hole 14 of the bead 10 along the direction of the arrow F1. To do. The hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 are inserted through various types of known methods such as passing a tool with a hook or the like (not shown) through the insertion hole 14 and pulling the hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 over the hook and pulling out the inside of the insertion hole 14. It is done by the method. Alternatively, the hair material 16 may be inserted through the insertion hole 14 in advance, and then the ground hair 20 may be inserted. When the hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 are passed, the beads 10 are sandwiched between the flat portions 32C and 34C of the gripping portions 32A and 34A of the bead tool 30 as shown in FIG. The beads 10 are crushed as shown in 2). At this time, since the beads 10 are not easily broken by the above-described (solution treatment), the beads 10 in the state shown in FIG. 1A-1 are crushed and deformed in the direction of the arrow F2. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (A-2), the hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 are sandwiched between the press-fitted insertion holes 14, and the beads 10 are fixed. The above operation is repeated until a desired number of hair materials 16 are attached.

  When the base hair 20 extends and the mounting position of the hair material 16 is shifted, it is necessary to remove the beads 10. At this time, first, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), the flatly crushed bead 10 is sandwiched between the grooves 38 and 40 of the bead tool 30, and the gripping portion is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow F3 in FIG. 32A and 34A are pressed to restore the shape of the beads 10 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown by an arrow F4 in FIG. 2C, the beads 10 and the hair material 16 can be moved along the ground hair 20 and removed. Then, if necessary, the hair material 16 is attached to the vicinity of the base of the ground hair 20 using new beads 10 according to the above-described procedure.

Thus, according to the first embodiment, there are the following effects.
(1) Since the solid solution (solution) treatment is performed after the forming of stainless steel, the beads 10 can be made difficult to break.
(2) Since stainless steel is used, metal allergies are less likely to occur and the hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 are less likely to come off, so a comfortable wearing feeling can be obtained.
(3) Since the rounded cutting portions 18 are provided on both end sides of the insertion hole 14, the hair material 16 and the ground hair 20 can be prevented from being cut.
(4) Since the grooves 38 and 40 capable of pressing the deformed bead 10 in the shape restoring direction are provided in the gripping portions 32A and 34A of the pliers-shaped bead tool 30, the bead 10 can be easily removed. Can do.
(5) Since the patterns 46A and 46B are provided on the handle portions 32B and 34B of the bead tool 30, the design can be improved.
(6) Since the transparent covers 48A and 48B are provided on the handle portions 32B and 34B, it is possible to prevent the pattern 46A and 46B from being stained or scratched without hiding the patterns 46A and 46B.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the Example mentioned above, A various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following are also included.
(1) The shape and dimensions shown in the first embodiment are examples, and may be appropriately changed as necessary. For example, in the first embodiment, the grooves 38 and 40 of the bead tool 30 are provided near the shaft 36, but this is also an example, and as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3 (C), it may be provided at two positions near the tip and the shaft 36, and a groove that is easier to use may be used. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3D, grooves 42 and 44 having different sizes from the grooves 38 and 40 may be provided in the grip portions 32A and 34A. In the embodiment, a pair of or more grooves are provided. However, the grooves may be provided only in one of the gripping portions 32A and 34A. In this case, setting the groove depth deeper than when providing a pair of grooves is convenient because the beads 10 can be easily sandwiched.

(2) The patterns 46A and 46B of the bead tool 30 and the covers 48A and 48B shown in the first embodiment are only examples, and may be provided as necessary.
(3) The above action is also an example, and may be appropriately changed so as to achieve the same effect. For example, in the above embodiment, when the bead 10 is removed, as shown in FIG. 2 (B), the shape of the bead 10 is almost restored to the state before the crimping, but this is also an example. What is necessary is just to be able to expand the insertion hole 14 to such an extent that it can be removed from the ground hair 20.
(4) The use of the bead tool 30 is also an example, and the bead tool 30 may be applied to various other known uses in addition to the attachment and detachment of the bead 10.

(5) In the above embodiment, the attachment and removal of the beads 10 are combined with one tool, but each may be a dedicated tool.
(6) In the above-described embodiment, the bead tool 30 is applied to the bead 10 that has been subjected to solid solution treatment after the forming of stainless steel. However, the tool 30 can be applied to all beads.
(7) In the first embodiment, the beads of the present invention are used for hair thickening. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. This does not prevent the hair (extension) 50 from being applied. In addition, the beads of the present invention are applicable to attachment of various other known objects such as accessories for necklaces, rings, earrings, etc., handicrafts, or electric cord crushing balls.

  According to the present invention, a substantially cylindrical bead having an insertion hole through which an object can be inserted is made deformable (hardened to break) by applying a solid solution (solution) treatment after forming the stainless steel. Therefore, it can be applied to the attachment of various objects. In particular, since metal allergy is difficult to occur, it is suitable for attaching a hair material at a position close to the background.
