Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-235224 (paragraph number 0023, FIG. 1) JP 58-092309 (2nd page, lower right column, FIG. 8)

  The protective cap of the hair curler of Patent Document 1 covers the space around the unused electric heating portion and the hair presser arm, and can prevent the electric heating unit and the hair presser arm from coming into contact with other objects. However, if the hair curler is placed in a recumbent posture while the electric heating part is heated, the electric heating part may come into contact with the placement surface, and the placement surface may fall into an overheated state. In case of hair curlers are in trouble. In that respect, according to the hair iron of Patent Document 2, since the heated heating rod can be supported in a state of being lifted away from the placement surface, the use of the hair iron can be temporarily interrupted. However, since the distance between the heating rod and the mounting surface when placed in a lying position is very small, the combustible material may overheat when the hair iron is left for a long time with the combustible material on the mounting surface. There is a risk of being burnt and burned, which is a safety problem.

  The mounting portion 25 is constituted by a receiving rib 38 (see FIG. 9).

  A displacement preventing structure for preventing the displacement movement of the main body 1 is provided on the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2.

  The displacement prevention structure is configured by a recess 56 provided on the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 (see FIG. 12).

  The slip prevention structure is constituted by receiving ribs 39 and 40 (see FIG. 1).

  In the vicinity of the heating unit 17 of the main body 1, displacement prevention protrusions 43 and 44 that engage with the displacement prevention structure and prevent the movement of the main body 1 are provided (see FIG. 4).

  An elastic arm 31 that is elastically deformable inward and outward is provided on the peripheral wall of the protective cap 2 facing the loading port 23. In a state where the main body 1 is loaded on the protective cap 2, the slip prevention protrusion 44 engages with the elastic arm 31 so that separation of the protective cap 2 can be regulated (see FIG. 7).

  A contact leg 32 constituting the mounting portion 25 is provided on the outer surface of the free end of the elastic arm 31. In a state where the main body 1 is supported by the receiving portion 26, the elastic arm 31 is elastically deformed so as to exhibit a cushion function (see FIG. 9).

  A cord winding structure for winding and storing the power cord 20 led out from the main body 1 is provided on the outer surface of the protective cap 2.

  The cord winding structure includes a first winding part 27 provided at one end of the protective cap 2 and a second winding part 28 provided at the other end of the protective cap 2 (see FIG. 10).

  A part of the power cord 20 wound around the first winding part 27 and the second winding part 28 is opposed to the outer surface of the elastic arm 31 to restrict outward elastic deformation of the elastic arm 31 (see FIG. 10). ).

  As shown in FIG. 16, the cord winding structure includes a first winding projection 63 provided near one end of the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 and a second winding provided near the other end of the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2. The projection 64 is configured.

  A plug holding structure for holding the plug 21 of the power cord 20 is provided on the outer surface of the protective cap 2.

  The plug holding structure is constituted by a hook 48 for hooking the power cord 20 in the vicinity of the plug 21 (see FIG. 10).

  The plug holding structure is constituted by a plug hole 67 provided in the bracket 68 on the outer surface of the protective cap 2 so that the plug blade 22 of the insertion plug 21 can be inserted into the plug hole 67 and fixed (see FIG. 18).

  A heat radiation opening 24 for releasing the heat of the heating unit 17 to the outside of the protective cap 2 is formed in the inner back portion of the protective cap 2 facing the loading port 23.

  In the present invention, a beauty device is constituted by the main body 1 and the cylindrical protective cap 2, the mounting portion 25 and the receiving portion 26 are provided on the outer surface of the protective cap 2, and the protective cap 2 is mounted. After being placed on the surface T in a recumbent posture, the heated body part 1 can be placed on the receiving part 26. Thus, when the protective cap 2 is used as a mounting table for the main body 1, the heating unit 17 of the main body 1 can be separated from the mounting surface T by at least the height dimension of the protective cap 2. A beauty device with excellent safety that does not cause the surface T to fall into an overheated state can be obtained. In addition, since the protective cap 2 is used as a mounting table for the main body 1, the overall structure of the beauty device can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case where a mounting table is separately prepared.

  When a plurality of receiving ribs 38, 39, and 40 are formed on the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2, the main body portion 1 is lifted from the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 by receiving the main body portion 1 with the ribs 38, 39, and 40. Supporting in a separated state, the contact area of both 1 and 2 can be reduced. Therefore, the heat of the heating unit 17 provided in the main body 1 can be suppressed from being conducted to the protective cap 2 side, and even if the main body 1 is left for a long time, the protective cap 2 Can eliminate high temperature. There is also an advantage that the structural strength of the protective cap 2 can be improved and the fastness can be improved by the plurality of receiving ribs 38, 39, 40 formed on the peripheral surface.

  When the mounting portion 25 is constituted by the receiving rib 38, the protective cap 2 is supported in a state of being lifted away from the mounting surface T by the protruding dimension of the receiving rib 38, and the contact area between the two 2T can be reduced. . Therefore, the heat of the protective cap 2 can be suppressed from being conducted toward the placement surface T, and the risk that the placement surface T becomes overheated can be further reduced.

  When a structure for preventing displacement is provided on the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2, the main body portion 1 moves along the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 when the main body portion 1 placed on the protective cap 2 is accidentally contacted. The main body 1 can be supported in a stable state. Therefore, the heating part 17 of the main body 1 that has fallen off from the protective cap 2 comes into contact with the user's skin and is burned, or the combustible material receives heat from the heating part 17 and falls into an overheated state, or becomes heat resistant. Accidents originating from the heating unit 17 such as heat deterioration of an inferior plastic molded product can be well prevented.

  If the shift prevention structure is configured by using the concave portion 56 provided on the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 as an element, the shift movement of the main body portion 1 can be prevented only by placing the main body portion 1 in the concave portion 56. Moreover, since the recessed part 56 itself functions as the receiving part 26, the manufacturing cost of the protective cap 2 can be reduced by eliminating the waste of the structure.

  When the shift prevention structure is configured by using the receiving ribs 39 and 40 provided on the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2, the receiving ribs 39 and 40 are simultaneously suppressed while suppressing the heat of the heating unit 17 from being transmitted to the protective cap 2. 40 can regulate the displacement movement of the main body 1. Therefore, the structure of the protective cap 2 can be further simplified to reduce the manufacturing cost.

  When the displacement preventing projections 43 and 44 are provided in the vicinity of the heating portion 17 of the main body 1 and the displacement preventing projections 43 and 44 are engaged with the displacement preventing structure provided on the protective cap 2, the displacement of the main body 1 is more reliably performed. Can prevent movement. In particular, when the slip prevention structure is constituted by the receiving ribs 39, 40 or the recessed portions, the receiving ribs 39, 40 and the slip preventing projections 43, 44 or the recessed portions are engaged with each other. Since the displacement movement of the portion 1 is restricted, it is possible to reliably prevent the main body portion 1 from being displaced due to an external force.

  In a state where the main body 1 is loaded on the protective cap 2, when the slip prevention protrusion 44 is engaged with the elastic arm 31 of the protection cap 2, the stopper cap 44 prevents the protection cap 2 from being separated from the main body 1. Can be regulated. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heating cap 17 and the hair processing unit 15 from being exposed due to the protective cap 2 being dropped during storage or handling of the beauty device, and the heating unit 17 and the hair processing unit 15 can be protected appropriately. .

  When the mounting portion 25 is configured using the contact leg 32 provided on the outer surface of the free end of the elastic arm 31, the elastic arm 31 is elastically deformed to exhibit a cushion function. For example, when the main body 1 is placed on the protective cap 2, the main body 1 may be mistakenly placed on the protective cap 2 with an impact. It can be elastically deformed to absorb the impact of the main body 1. Therefore, even when the main body 1 is placed with an impact, the surface of the main body 1 or the protective cap 2 can be prevented from being damaged, or a part of the protective cap 2 can be prevented from being damaged.

  When the cord winding structure is provided on the outer surface of the protective cap 2, the power cord 20 led out from the main body 1 is wound around the cord winding structure, so that the main body 1, the protective cap 2, and the power cord 20 are connected. It can be stored or handled in a compact state. Further, since the separation of the protective cap 2 from the main body 1 can be regulated by the power cord 20 wound around the cord winding structure, the protective cap 2 is not lost.

  When the cord winding structure is configured by the first winding portion 27 provided at one end of the protective cap 2 and the second winding portion 28 provided at the other end of the protective cap 2, along the longitudinal direction of the protective cap 2. The power cord 20 can be wound. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of times the power cord 20 is wound around the cord winding structure and save the trouble of storing the power cord 20, and the winding shape of the power cord 20 is enlarged. Avoid it and make it compact.

  In a state where the power cord 20 is wound around both the winding portions 27 and 28, the power cord 20 can restrict the elastic arm 31 from elastically deforming outward when a part thereof is opposed to the outer surface of the elastic arm 31. . Therefore, as long as the power cord 20 is not removed from the cord winding structure, it is possible to keep the engagement state between the detent protrusion 44 and the elastic arm 31 and prevent the protective cap 2 from dropping from the main body 1.

  When the cord winding structure is constituted by the first winding projection 63 provided near one end of the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 and the second winding projection 64 provided near the other end, a power cord as shown in FIG. 20 can be wound in an orderly manner in a state where 20 is put together on one side of the surface of the protective cap 2. Further, since the cord winding structure is arranged on one side of the surface of the protective cap 2, the power cord 20 can be wound and accommodated easily and quickly.

  If the plug holding structure is provided on the outer surface of the protective cap 2, the power cord 20 is dissociated by attaching the plug 21 to the plug holding structure after the power cord 20 is wound around the cord winding structure. Can be prevented. Therefore, the beauty device can be stored and stored in a compact state in which the winding shape of the power cord 20 is maintained.

  When the plug holding structure is constituted by the latching hook 48, the power cord 20 may interfere with the latching hook 48 even when the length of the power cord 20 protruding from the cord winding structure is different in size. It is possible to reliably prevent the power cord 20 from being detached. Furthermore, any position of the power cord 20 can be attached to the latch hook 48 according to the user's preference and necessity.

  When the plug holding structure is configured by the plug hole 67 provided in the bracket 68, the plug blade 22 is inserted into the plug hole 67, so that the power cord 20 wound around the cord winding structure can be prevented from being detached. Further, since the plug blade 22 is fixed to the bracket 68 of the protective cap 2, the plug blade 22 can be protected by the bracket 68 when handling the beauty equipment. For example, the plug blade 22 collides with another object and deforms. Can be prevented.

  When the heat radiating opening 24 is provided in the inner back portion of the protective cap 2, the heat released from the heating portion 17 to the inside of the protective cap 2 is transferred to the heat radiating opening 24 in a state where the main body 1 immediately after use is loaded in the protective cap 2. Can be effectively released. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the heat of the heating unit 17 from entering the inside of the protective cap 2, and it is possible to safely handle the beauty device immediately after use.

Constructs a cord winding structure.

  Elastic arms 31 and 31 are provided on the front and rear peripheral walls of the protective cap 2 facing the loading port 23, and a rectangular contact leg 32 bulges on the outer surface of the lower end (free end) of the arm 31. The elastic arm 31 is divided by a slit 33 formed on the peripheral wall of the protective cap 2 and can be elastically deformed inward and outward. As shown in FIG. 2, the contact body 32 protrudes downward from the loading port 23, and the contact surface 34 on the outer surface thereof bulges outward from the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 (see FIG. 9). Engaging recesses 35 are formed on the left and right of the upper edge of the contact leg 32.

  On the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2, a group of receiving ribs that support the main body 1 in a state of being separated from the peripheral surface of the protective cap 2 is formed. Specifically, a first receiving rib (receiving rib) 38 formed in a circular shape on the cap peripheral surface in the vicinity of the heat radiating opening 24, and an up-down direction first formed along the left corners of the front and rear surfaces of the protective cap 2. 2 receiving ribs (receiving ribs) 39 and 39, and a group of third receiving ribs (receiving ribs) 40 formed in a circular shape on the circumferential surface of the cap below the first receiving rib 38 It is formed on the surface. The third receiving rib 40 is also formed on the outer surface of the elastic arm 31. The bulging dimension of the first to third receiving ribs 38, 39, and 40 from the circumferential surface of the cap is the smallest for the third receiving rib 40 and the largest for the second receiving rib 39. By providing a group of the receiving ribs 38, 39, and 40 on the circumferential surface of the cap, a large number of recessed portions that receive the displacement preventing protrusions 43 and 44 described later are formed.

  In a state where the main body 1 is loaded in the protective cap 2, a holding structure is provided between the two in order to hold and fix the protective cap 2 to the main body 1 in a stable state. Further, in order to prevent the main body part 1 from moving in a state where the main body part 1 in use is placed on the protective cap 2, a shift preventing structure is provided between the two parts 1 and 2.

  The holding structure of the protective cap 2 with respect to the main body 1 is provided in the vicinity of the pair of left and right guide ribs 42 provided on the inner surfaces of the front and rear walls of the protective cap 2, the engaging recess 35 described above, and the heating block 16 of the main body 1. It is composed of a total of eight displacement prevention protrusions 43 and 44 provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the guide rib 42 is provided in parallel from the heat radiation opening 24 to the vicinity of the slit 33. Of the slipper protrusions 43, 44, the slipper protrusions 43 near the upper end are arranged on the front and rear surfaces of the sandwiching arms 11, 12 near the upper end of the heating block 16. They are arranged on the front and rear surfaces of both sandwiching arms 11 and 12 near the lower end of the block 16.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 7, and 8, both misalignment prevention protrusions 43 and 44 are formed in a mountain shape, and tips 43a and 44a thereof are rounded. When the main body 1 is loaded in the protective cap 2, the upper four displacement prevention protrusions 43 are received by the guide ribs 42 (see FIGS. 3 and 6), and are held without any room for rattling. Has been. Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 7, the tips 44a of the four lower locking projections 44 are engaged with the engaging recesses 35 of the front and rear contact bodies 32, respectively, so that the protective cap 2 is attached to the main body portion. The separation from 1 is restricted. In other words, the engagement recess 35 and the displacement projection 44 constitute a lock structure that restricts the protection cap 2 from being separated from the main body 1. In the process of loading the main body 1 into the protective cap 2, the tip 44 a of the lower displacement preventing projection 44 abuts the inner surface of the leg 32 and elastically deforms the elastic arm 31, so that the leg 32 is moved. After getting over, it engages with the engaging recess 35.

  The displacement prevention structure for preventing the displacement movement of the main body 1 in the mounted state includes the second receiving rib 39 and the third receiving rib 40 described above, and the displacement protrusions 43 and 44 provided on the main body 1. To do. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 1 is placed on the upper surface of a protective cap 2 that is in a lying posture with respect to the placement surface T. In that case, the end on the swing shaft 13 side can be placed on the placement surface T, and any position on the lower surface of both the sandwiching arms 11 and 12 can be placed on the upper peripheral surface of the protective cap 2. The following posture is recommended as the mounting posture.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the main body 1 is placed in a state in which the lower shift protrusion 44 located near the center of gravity of the main body 1 is supported by the second receiving rib 39 located on the upper surface. . In this placement state, the main body 1 tends to slide along the placement surface T in a direction away from the protective cap 2. However, as shown in FIG. 8, since the left and right misalignment protrusions 44 are hooked on the second receiving ribs 39, the main body 1 does not slide in a direction intersecting the cylinder center axis of the protective cap 2. .

  The main body 1 can move in the left-right direction along the cylinder central axis of the protective cap 2, but the third receiving rib 40 in which the left and right displacement-preventing protrusions 44 are located close to each other soon before the main body 1 moves. (See FIG. 1), the main body 1 does not move any further. Therefore, according to the mounting posture shown in FIG. 4, the main body 1 mounted on the protective cap 2 can be held in a stable state. Further, since the heating block 16 can be supported in a state of being lifted away from the protective cap 2 by the displacement preventing projections 44 latched on the second receiving rib 39, it is possible to minimize the heat of the heating block 16 being conducted to the protective cap 2. Can be avoided.

  As can be understood from the above description, the receiving portion 26 that is provided on the protective cap 2 and supports the main body portion 1 basically includes the second receiving rib 39 and the third receiving rib 40. However, the main body 1 can place any position of the sandwiching arms 11 and 12 on the protective cap 2, and in this case, the lower surface of the sandwiching arms 11 and 12 is supported only by the third receiving rib 40. There are things to do. In addition, the upper shift protrusion 43 may be supported by the upper peripheral surface of the protective cap 2, and the lateral movement of the main body 1 may be restricted by the third receiving rib 40. Accordingly, the receiving portion 26 of the present embodiment in which the main body portion 1 is provided with the slip prevention protrusions 43 and 44 includes the upper peripheral surface of the protective cap 2, the second receiving rib 39, and the third receiving rib 40. Become. Incidentally, the third receiving rib 40 functions as the receiving portion 26 when the main body portion 1 is not provided with the slip prevention protrusions 43 and 44.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the protective cap 2 is placed on the placement surface T, the contact leg surface 34 of the contact leg 32 is supported by the placement surface T, and further, the first receiving member located on the lower surface side. The contact surface 34 of the retaining rib 38 is supported by the placement surface T, and the protective cap 2 is supported in a state of being lifted away from the placement surface T. As described above, when the protective cap 2 is supported in a state of being lifted away, it is possible to avoid the heat of the protective cap 2 from being conducted to the placement surface T as much as possible.

  When the main body 1 is placed on the protective cap 2, the main body 1 may be accidentally placed on the protective cap 2 with an impact. The supported elastic arm 31 is elastically deformed toward the inner surface of the cap and absorbs the collision impact of the main body 1. That is, the elastic arm 31 functions as a cushion body and can prevent the surface of the main body 1 or the protective cap 2 from being damaged or a part of the cap from being damaged. As can be understood from the above description, the mounting portion 25 of the protective cap 2 in the present embodiment includes the contact leg 32 provided on the elastic arm 31 supported by the mounting surface T, and the first receiving rib. 38.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 1, the protective cap 2 can be mounted on the mounting surface T with the heat radiation opening 24 facing left and with the heat radiation opening 24 facing right, but in any case, it can be used as a mounting table. In order to make it possible, a pair of front and rear mounting portions 25 and receiving portions 26 are provided. Specifically, a second receiving rib 39 is provided on each of the front and rear surfaces of the protective cap 2 so that the main body 1 can be supported by the receiving portion 26 regardless of whether the mounting posture of the protective cap 2 is rightward or leftward. I have to. Similarly, an elastic arm 31 and a contact leg 32 are provided on each of the front and rear surfaces of the protective cap 2 so that the mounting portion 25 is placed on the mounting surface T regardless of whether the mounting posture of the protective cap 2 is rightward or leftward. I support it.
