Utility Model Registration No. 3147911 JP 2005-199884 A

  In the prior art hair iron, an electric heating means is provided on an iron bar for winding hair. Therefore, a cord for connecting to the power source had to be attached. However, since the iron rod is used for use by wrapping the hair by rotating the grip in the axial direction by hand with the hair sandwiched between the pressing plate, the cord is twisted as it is. Therefore, a mechanism such as a slip ring is required, and the structure is complicated.

  In addition, depending on the styling realized by the brazing, the hair iron may be moved up and down and left and right, but the cord may interfere with the movement.

  On the other hand, since the surface of the iron bar is naturally hot, it must be taken into consideration that the fingertips do not touch the hair when winding the hair, which hinders the winding work. Similarly, even when a hair iron was placed during the work, the iron rod was forced to avoid touching the surrounding objects.

  The object of the present invention is to provide a hair iron that solves the above-mentioned problems. That is, in the present invention, the grip is extended from the winding rod for winding the hair with the hair iron, and the winding device provided with the pressing plate to be brought into contact with and separated from the surface of the winding rod, and the winding rod of the winding device are held. The heating device is a combination of heating devices to be held, and the heating device is characterized in that a heating member composed of a pair of half-cylindrical bodies having an electric heating plate arranged on the inner peripheral side is freely openable and closable with a hinge portion.

  In this invention, the hair is wound around the winding device, and the hair wound around the winding rod of the winding device is held by the heating device. As a result, the heating is performed from the outside of the hair by an electric heating plate disposed on the inner peripheral side of the heating member formed of a half cylinder of the heating device, thereby curling the curls and the waves.

  Therefore, it is not necessary to heat the winding rod of the winding device, and the winding device does not require a power source, so there is no cord, a mechanism such as a slip ring is not required, and the structure is simplified.

  Similarly, by eliminating the cord, the hair iron can be freely tilted up and down and left and right without being bothered by the cord, and various styling becomes easier.

  On the other hand, since the winding rod of the winding device is not heated, it is safe to touch, and when winding hair, the winding rod itself can be held, and the winding operation becomes easier.

  Similarly, even when putting a hair iron in the middle of work, it is not necessary to consider touching the surroundings, so it can be placed anywhere, for example, on a cloth sofa, and it can be worn. Increased freedom of place. On the other hand, in this case, since the heating surface of the heating device faces the inner circumference of the pair of half cylinders, unlike the conventional technology facing the outer circumference of the iron rod, the probability of touching the human body and the surroundings is extremely low. Safety will increase.
