Next, the steam heat storage type hair curler 10 according to the present invention will be described in detail.
The steam heat storage hair curler 10 is fitted into a cylindrical rod 11 made of a material having a high thermal conductivity such as a metal having a high thermal conductivity or a synthetic resin having a high thermal conductivity, and the inside of the cylindrical rod 11. The steam storage hair curler 10 is composed of a heat storage material 12 and a cap 13 that closes both ends of the cylindrical rod 11. The steam heat storage hair curler 10 is connected to a joint 6 a formed at the tip of the steam supply connection pipe 6 and steam. Is supposed to be supplied.

  In the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the cylindrical rod 11 described above is an aluminum alloy or a magnesium alloy. A large number of hole-like steam passage portions 11b are formed through the peripheral wall of the pipe 11a having a high thermal conductivity, and the steam contained in the heat storage material 12 is discharged from the steam passage portion 11b. While giving moderate humidity to the hair to prevent the hair from being damaged by heating, it is easy to apply a permanent wave, but by eliminating the steam passage portion 11b, the escape of the steam is suppressed and the cylindrical rod 11 is hard to cool. You can also. In addition, the cylindrical rod 11 of the example has a slit-like steam passage portion 11b having a groove width of 2 to 3 mm from the distal end portion to the proximal end portion on the peripheral wall of the pipe 11a having a diameter of 20 mm. It is assumed to be transparent at intervals.

  Further, the cylindrical rod 11 is made of an aluminum alloy or a magnesium as in the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, or the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. It is assumed that thin rods 11c having a high thermal conductivity such as an alloy are arranged on the upper and lower pedestals 11d on the circumference, and caps 13 are fitted on the upper and lower pedestals 11d, and between the thin rods 11c and 11c. The vapor absorbed by the heat storage material 12 as the slit-shaped vapor passage portion 11b is discharged from the vapor passage portion 11b, thereby giving an appropriate humidity to the hair and preventing the hair from being damaged by heating, and permanent. Can be easily waved. In addition, for example, by arranging 12 rods 11c having a diameter of 2 mm on the circumference of 20 mm in diameter, or 16 at 30 ° intervals or 16 at 22.5 ° intervals, the opening areas of the steam passage holes 11b are made different. It can be used properly according to the hair quality and treatment.

  3 If the material of the cylindrical rod 11 is a material having a high thermal conductivity, plastics having a high thermal conductivity other than the metal as described above (for example, carbon fiber mixed in a resin, other ), It can be heated rapidly by the heat of the heat storage material 12, and the treatment can be performed quickly.

  The heat storage material 12 is made of a material having countless continuous pores such as a heat-resistant synthetic resin foam, and has a steam introduction hole 12a penetrating in the longitudinal direction at the center thereof. Steam can be stored in countless continuous pores of the heat storage material 12. In addition to the synthetic resin foam, the heat storage material 12 may be made of a fiber or a granular material. By using these molded bodies, the steam introduction hole 12a can be integrally formed, so that assembly is easy and productivity is improved. be able to.

  The cap 13 is fitted to both ends of the cylindrical rod 11 to hold the heat storage material 12 and to suppress the outflow of steam. This cap 13 is shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. The cylindrical rod 11 and the heat storage material 12 can be cleaned or the heat storage material 12 can be replaced by fitting to the cylindrical rod 11 and screwing as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8. You can do it. One cap 13 is formed with a connection port 13a that is connected to the joint 6a to allow steam to flow into the steam introduction hole 12a of the heat storage material 12, and the other cap 13 has the connection port 13a described above. A steam exhaust hole 13b having a smaller diameter is provided. Since the steam exhaust hole 13b can confirm whether or not the continuous pores of the heat storage material 12 are filled based on the amount of steam ejected, the temperature of the cylindrical rod 11 can be generally predicted.

  Each cap 13 is formed with a number of hair band locking portions 13c so that the hair wound around the cylindrical rod 11 can be fastened with a hair band so as to be lighter than when a clip is used. However, it goes without saying that hair may be fastened to the cylindrical rod 11 using a clip. By doing so, it is possible to increase the number of practitioners by speeding up the treatment rather than using a hair band. Further, the cap 13 is made of a heat insulating material such as rubber so as not to be burned by a hair winding operation by the heated cylindrical rod 11.

  Further, the extension tube 60 attached to the steam supply connection pipe 6 of the condensed water separation cylinder 2 has the other end as a connection part of the connection port 13a of the steam heat storage hair curler 10. This extension tube 60 is used to reheat the vapor regenerative hair curler 10 when the temperature of the vapor regenerative hair curler 10 during treatment is lowered. In addition, 61 is a heat insulating gripping part provided at the front part of the extension tube 60, 62 is a condensed water adsorption mechanism formed in the gripping part 61, and the condensed water adsorption mechanism 62 has a large number of small holes 62a in the peripheral wall. And a condensed water adsorbing cylinder 62c such as a sponge covering the nozzle pipe 62b. The condensed water generated in the extension tube 60 is adsorbed by the condensed water adsorbing cylinder 62c, and water droplets are discharged from the nozzle pipe 62b. Is not blown out.

  When applying a permanent wave with such an apparatus, if water is supplied to the steam generation chamber 3 and then the power is turned on to energize the heater 3b of the steam generation chamber 3, the water in the steam generation chamber 3 is Since the steam is generated by boiling, the steam in the steam generation chamber 3 flows into the condensed water separation cylinder 2. The steam that has flowed into the condensed water separation cylinder 2 is discharged from the steam supply connecting pipe 6 by the blowing pressure of the blower 4.

  When the steam heat storage hair curler 10 is heated by steam, if the steam heat storage hair curler 10 is erected at the joint 6a of the steam supply connecting pipe 6, the steam is infinitely connected through the steam introduction path 12a. The heat storage material 12 is heated while entering the inside and being stored. At this time, since the steam regenerative hair curler 10 is held in the heat insulating cylinder 9, the cylindrical rod 11 is prevented from being cooled by touching the external cold air and the generation of condensed water is suppressed.

  In order to apply a permanent wave with the steam regenerator hair curler 10 thus heated, first, before winding the hair around the steam regenerator hair curler 10, after applying an acidic pretreatment liquid to the hair, Apply one agent to the hair and heat the hair to promote hair treatment with the first permanent agent and break the S-S bond. Thereafter, the first permanent agent is washed away from the hair and the hair is lightly dried with a dryer.

  Subsequently, the amount of steam blown up from the steam exhaust hole 13b is confirmed, and the steam regenerative hair curler 10 that is sufficiently heated is grasped by the cap 13 made of a heat insulating material and taken out from the heat retaining cylinder 9. Next, the hair is wound around the cylindrical rod 11. After the hair is wound around the steam heat storage hair curler 10, the hair band is locked to the hair band locking portions 13c of the caps 13 at both ends to fix the hair, or the hair is fixed to the steam heat storage hair curler 10 with a clip. To do.

  By doing so, the hair is heated with steam and steam heat not exceeding 100 ° C., and a wave is formed. When the required time has elapsed, the steam heat storage hair curler 10 is removed from the hair, or after checking the wave, the hair is rewound around the steam heat storage hair curler 10 as necessary.

  Next, a second permanent agent is applied to the hair from which the steam heat storage hair curler 10 has been removed, and the SS bond that has been cut off is recombined, or the hair is wound around the steam heat storage hair curler 10 while the hair is wound. The second agent is applied to recombine the S—S bonds that have been cut off. Next, the permanent wave is completed by washing away the second permanent agent and drying the hair.
