Description

  The present invention relates to a hair brush that can be dried while combing wet hair.

  An example of a conventional hairbrush is described in Patent Document 1. This hair brush has a brush body. A plurality of comb teeth are formed on the brush body, and an absorber capable of absorbing moisture of wet hair is provided between the comb teeth.

JP-A-11-28119

  However, in the hairbrush of patent document 1, there was only one part which contacts the hair of a brush main body, and the quantity of the absorber which can be provided in the part was small. For this reason, moisture adhering to the hair could not be sufficiently absorbed by the absorber, and the wet hair could not be dried quickly.

  The present invention has been made to solve this problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hair brush that can quickly dry wet hair.

  A feature of the hairbrush of the present invention is a hairbrush configured to sandwich the hair between the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, the first portion having the first sandwiching portion, and the second portion having the second sandwiching portion.

It is provided with a water absorbing part that absorbs moisture, and a plurality of comb teeth that are provided in at least one of the first sandwiching part and the second sandwiching part and comb the hair.

  When the wet hair is sandwiched between the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, the water absorbing portions provided in each of the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion come into contact with the wet hair. Therefore, the water adhering to the hair can be sufficiently absorbed by each water absorbing portion, and the wet hair can be dried quickly. Further, when combing hair with a plurality of comb teeth, it is possible to collect the water adhering to the hair by pushing it with the plurality of comb teeth, and the collected water can be efficiently absorbed by each water absorption part.

  Another feature of the hairbrush of the present invention is that when the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion are close to each other, the tip portions of the plurality of comb teeth provided on one of the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion are In contact with the water absorbing portion provided on the other of the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion.

  In this configuration, the tip of each of the plurality of comb teeth comes into contact with the water absorbing portion, so that the water collected by the plurality of comb teeth can be efficiently given to the water absorbing portion, and the wet hair can be dried quickly. Can do.

  Another feature of the hairbrush of the present invention is that the water-absorbing part has a contact part that is exposed on the surface of the water-absorbing part and contacts the hair, and the contact part is formed of a highly water-absorbing fiber material. It is in.

  In this configuration, moisture adhering to the hair can be efficiently absorbed by the highly water-absorbing fiber material.

  Another feature of the hairbrush of the present invention is that the water absorption part has a water storage part for storing the moisture absorbed by the contact part.

  In this configuration, it is possible to prevent moisture absorbed by the contact portion from dripping from the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion.

  Another feature of the hairbrush of the present invention is that a plurality of protrusions are provided on the surface of the water absorption part.

  In this structure, since the surface area of the water absorption part is widened by the plurality of protrusions, it is easy to absorb the moisture of wet hair from the surface of the water absorption part.

  Another feature of the hairbrush of the present invention is that the plurality of comb teeth are provided in both the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, and the plurality of comb teeth and the second sandwiching portion provided in the first sandwiching portion. The plurality of comb teeth provided in is arranged so as to be shifted from each other so as not to collide with each other when the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion approach each other.

  In this configuration, moisture attached to the hair can be efficiently collected by the plurality of comb teeth provided in each of the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, so that wet hair can be dried quickly.

  The water adhering to the hair H (FIG. 1) can be pushed and collected by the plurality of comb teeth 24 and 28 shown in FIG. When the first sandwiching portion 12 and the second sandwiching portion 14 approach each other, the tip portions of the plurality of comb teeth 24 and 28 come into contact with the water absorbing portions 26 and 22, and thus are collected by the plurality of comb teeth 24 and 28. Moisture can be efficiently supplied to the water absorption parts 26 and 22.

  Since the water | moisture content absorbed by the contact parts 54 and 70 can be stored in the water storage parts 56 and 72 shown to FIG. 2 (A), a water | moisture content can be prevented from dripping from the 1st clamping part 12 and the 2nd clamping part 14. FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment in which the entire first water absorbing portion 22 is configured by the contact portion 80. In the above-described embodiment, each of the two water absorbing portions 22 and 26 includes the contact portions 54 and 70 and the water storage portions 56 and 72, but at least one of the two water absorbing portions 22 and 26 has a high water absorption property. You may comprise only the contact part which consists of fiber materials. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the entire first water absorption part 22 may be configured by the contact part 80.

  In the above embodiment, the plurality of comb teeth 24 and 28 shown in FIG. 2A are provided in both the first sandwiching portion 12 and the second sandwiching portion 14, but the plurality of comb teeth 24 and 28 are provided. May be provided only in one of the first sandwiching portion 12 and the second sandwiching portion 14.

  Moreover, the connection part 20 shown to FIG. 2 (A) may be changed into a leaf | plate spring-shaped connection part. The protrusions 42 and 50 shown in FIG. 2A may have any shape as long as they have an anti-slip effect, and may be changed to a plurality of point-like protrusions, a plurality of linear grooves, or the like.
