Description

  The present invention relates to a head observation apparatus that can be compactly stored in consideration of the place in the home when not in use.

When looking at your top and back of your head, you usually use a mirror or a polygonal mirror, but with this method, people who do their own hair dyeing work with one hand being blocked or difficult to see We were not satisfied with.
Recently, there is also a method of viewing using a video device, but because the camera is placed far from the head, a large space is required and storage when not in use is not considered, so it was unsuitable for placement in the home. . Therefore, a method of viewing the head using a polygon mirror (for example, see Patent Document 1) and a method of viewing with an image display device (for example, see Patent Document 2) have been proposed.

  JP 2009-178302 A   JP 2000-138926 A

Patent Document 1 shows that each head can be seen, but when looking at the back of the head, the optical axis becomes long and the image that is captured becomes small. When looking away from the image that is reflected as a characteristic of the polygonal mirror, various images can be seen like a kaleidoscope. The biggest problem is that it surrounds the head, so the case becomes large and there is no storage structure, so it takes up space when not in use. For this reason, there were restrictions on the place to use it at home.
In Patent Document 2, it is not realistic in the home to attach the arm to the wall surface (or furniture type) without storing the wall surface and the arm, and occupying the place at all times is disadvantageous in a general home. . Since the device cannot be stored, it cannot be stored in a closet when not in use. (Storing here means storing in a different place when the device is not in use)

  The optimal arrangement of the camera for those who are treating themselves with white hair, color dyeing or hair treatment according to the present invention so that they can work with their hands until they are satisfied with their hands while looking at their desired head. Proposed installation and equipment, and has a simple structure that can be used in the home, and has a compact structure that allows it to be stored in a small space when not in use. The object is to provide a head observation device that can be stored in a case or the like by being put in a case or the like.

The configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A person faces the display to the lower side of the front first arm of the display (10) and faces the display, and a support shaft (2 perpendicular to the surface is formed on one surface of the lower center of the base (1) which is erected on the front of the face. ), And the other end of the support shaft is provided with a support column (3) that rotates in parallel with the base surface, and the other end of the support column is connected to the support column so as to be rotatable in the orthogonal direction. A first arm (5) extending in the direction of the head via the part (4) is provided. The other end of the first arm is provided with an arcuate or flexible second arm (7) that can be folded inward via a bent portion (6). Further, the bent portions of the first arm and the second arm may be housed so that the second arm can be removed as a detachable structure.
The first camera (8) and the second camera (9) are attached to the inside of the first arm and the second arm, respectively, at positions where the top and rear heads can be imaged, and images for selecting images from the first camera and the second camera. A changeover switch is provided.
The movement of the first camera from the right head to the left head means that the first camera reverses because the first camera rotates halfway (180 °) around the human head, and the image on the display is upside down. Become. In order to prevent this phenomenon, a video inversion device is provided in the display or the first camera.
An inner member (14) provided on the base end side of the support column by providing a substantially semicircular arc-shaped outer rail (15) on the trajectory by the rotation of the support column (3) about the support shaft (2) on the base surface. Engage to prevent the column from falling forward. A stopper is provided at the positions of 90 ° on the right side and 90 ° on the left side of the outer rail to maintain the positions of 90 ° on the right and 90 ° on the left.
A drive control motor (11) may be directly connected to the back side of the support shaft base connected to the support column for rotational control of the support column angle and may be electrically driven or fully automatic by an operation switch.

The relationship between the base and the support will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 2 (a) is a view as seen from the front of the base (1). A support shaft (2) is provided at the lower center of the base, and an outer rail (15) having a substantially semicircular arc shape centered on this axis. Is provided on the foundation surface. Both ends (90 ° right and 90 ° left) of this outer rail are positioned 90 ° to the right and 90 ° to the left of the column (3) by the inner member (14) fitted to the outer rail by a stopper function. The position of is maintained. A magnet A (12) is bonded to the center upper portion of the outer rail.

FIG. 2 (b) is a view of the attaching portion between the support column and the first arm, but the magnet B (13) is bonded to the upper base side of the support column (3). The central 0 ° position of the column is held by the attractive force of the magnet A on the base and the magnet B on the column. In order to escape from this position, it is only necessary to move the column with a force superior to the suction force. An inner member (14) is attached immediately below the magnet B and is fitted to the outer rail of the base, thereby preventing the column from falling forward. The first arm (5) can be rotated in the orthogonal direction by a rotating part (4).
FIG. 2 (c) shows the outer rail and the inner member, but FIG. 2 (d) shows a state in which each is fitted.

The operation for viewing the head will be described with reference to FIGS.
When looking at the top of the head, the person faces the display and sees the support through the first camera with the first arm and the second arm extended at the center 0 ° position. (Shown at the lower left in the reference diagram of FIG. 3 (a))
When viewing the back of the head, the video switch is switched to the second camera from the above state and viewed on the display. (Shown at the lower right in the reference diagram of FIG. 3 (a))
When looking at the right side of the head, the column is positioned 90 degrees to the right and viewed on the display through the first camera. (The image shown in the reference diagram of FIG. 3 (b) is shown)
When looking at the left side of the head, it is viewed on the display through the first camera with the column 90 ° to the left. (The image shown in the reference diagram of FIG. 3 (c) is shown)
In this way, each head can see the same face-to-face image as seen from the other person's eyes, and since there is no hand shake, it is possible to perform work such as hair dyeing in real time until it is satisfactory. The person just faces the front of the display and does not need to change the direction of the person or adjust the angle of the camera.

Four methods for storing the apparatus will be described.
First, in a form in which the first arm and the second arm are sandwiched and overlapped with each other, the first method rotates the column 90 ° to the right and the first arm 90 ° to the left. (See Figure 4)
In the second method, the column is rotated 90 ° to the left and the first arm is rotated 90 ° to the right.
In the third method, the first arm is rotated 90 ° to the right at the center 0 ° position of the support column.
In the fourth method, the first arm is rotated 90 ° to the left at the position of the center at 0 °.
Since the four ways of storing can be performed by the four ways of storing, it is only necessary to select a storing form suitable for each storing place.

Premiere with imaging device.
The person who wants to see the root of the hair in the treatment of hair and the condition of hair dyeing can use the zoom function of the camera, and the person with long hair can deal with the zoom wide area display of the second camera.
If you want to see your rear view (overall picture), you can remove the second camera that can be attached and detached, drop it to a distance where the whole picture can be seen, and have someone else take the second camera or use a tripod.
A person who is treating hair or who wants to record the current hair style leaves the video at that time in the database and arbitrarily picks up the playback video when he wants to watch it later. Especially in the case of treatment, it can be compared and contrasted as progress information, and it can be used as a judgment material for the effect of treatment.
If the display screen is a half mirror, when the display screen is not operated, it becomes a mirror that mirrors the face (frontal head).
Since the present invention is a suggestion of the arrangement means and storage / storage of the camera, a technical explanation regarding these video technologies is not essential and will be omitted.

  When used at home, a pedestal is provided on the base so that the device does not fall down, and the base may be placed on a desk or a table. After use, if the place is in the way, you can put it in a case after storage and store it in a closet. The best way is to place the device in front of the mirror of the washstand and use it when not in use. When not in use, store the device and move it to the washstand and ceiling space (ball screw (16), screw rod ( 17)). (Refer to FIG. 5) As another method, it is possible to roll up and store with a motor or the like using a stick stick between the ceiling and the washstand.

  When used in a store or the like, the apparatus is directly attached to a wall as shown in FIG. Further, if the drive control motor described in (0013) is used to make it fully automatic, it can be expected to be upgraded.

Hair treatment, hair growth, hair growth, white hair dyeing, color dyeing, etc. Formula, party hair style change, up-style, ponytail, knot hair, headband, decorative rubber, ribbon knot, hot collar winding, collar shaving, etc. There are many people who want to see, but there is nothing in Japan that can be satisfied. There is nothing that can be stored or stored in the imaging apparatus. Since the present invention can be stored in a closet or the like by compact storage even in a narrow place in a small home, it is welcomed because there are no place restrictions for those who do hair dyeing by themselves.
Also, if you make it a fully automatic type such as hairdressing, hair salon, hair growth, hair growth industry, white hair, color dyeing industry, wig, wig industry etc. stores, theaters, TV stations, wedding halls, hotels, XX halls, etc. Contribute to differentiation from other stores through image upgrades and upgrades.
The compact appearance (about 19-inch TV) that can be accommodated by the device makes a major breakthrough in distribution mechanisms such as packing at the time of shipment from the factory, transportation, inventory management, display at stores, and take-out when products are purchased. I can do it.

  As described above, the description is made with two cameras, the first camera and the second camera according to claim 2, but the camera may be performed with one camera.
