Description

The present invention relates to gloves worn during hair coloring work.

When you do your own hair coloring such as gray hair dyeing without asking a person, wear the gloves attached to the commercially available coloring agent to prevent the coloring agent from adhering to your hands, and the comb that is also attached ( Use a tool such as a comb) to attach the coloring agent to your own hair (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

In gray hair dyeing, in order to maintain a beautifully colored state of the entire hair, it is necessary to perform so-called retouching work in which the white part that has grown after the previous coloring, that is, the root of the hair is dyed intensively. Since human hair grows about 1 cm in a month, even if the whole is colored, gray hair will already be conspicuous in the 1 cm part of the hairline one month later. Therefore, those who dislike this will have to retouch without waiting for a month from the previous coloring.

However, many people realize that retouching, which is a frequently required task, is a task that requires a great deal of labor and manual dexterity if it is performed by oneself.
In particular, as mentioned above, in order to dye only the hairline of the hair evenly without leaving the coloring agent on the entire head, the hair should be squeezed out, the coloring agent should be applied appropriately to the roots, and the hair in another part should be squeezed out. It is necessary to apply a coloring agent to the roots appropriately and repeat the process patiently and carefully. The comb that comes with commercially available coloring products is usually used for painting.

The typical shape of the attached comb consists of a handle part that can be used to separate the hair, a brush part that can be used to apply the coloring agent to the hair, and a comb part that can be used to spread the coloring agent evenly over the hair. There is.
In short, it is a tool for applying coloring agent to the hair using this brush part, but it requires dexterity and experience of the hand to master it, especially for the back of the head even if you use a mirror. It is hard to see by yourself, so a considerable amount of technique is required to color it beautifully.

Further, in hair dyeing with a coloring agent, the coloring agent is adhered to the hair and left to stand, and the degree of hair dyeing changes depending on the length of the leaving time. Coloring work often takes time, and there is a considerable time lag between the time when coloring is started and the time when the entire hair is finished coloring, and the hair dyeing time is different depending on the part of the hair. The degree of unevenness occurs. Therefore, the speed of performing the work from the start to the end in a short time is also important.

In addition, due to its strong hair dyeing power, the coloring agent is a stain that cannot be easily removed when it adheres to the face, body, or clothes of the person who works, or to the wall or floor of the place where the coloring work is performed. It becomes. Therefore, the coloring work is required to be more careful.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hair coloring glove as a tool for making the hair coloring work, which is a nerve-wracking work as described above, easier and speedier.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following hair coloring gloves to be worn during the hair coloring work, for example, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
That is, the thumb part (12a), the index finger part (12b), the middle finger part (12c), the ring finger part (12d) and the little finger part (12e) that can accept the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger of the wearer's hand, respectively. A glove body (12) including a palm portion (12f) capable of accepting the palm of the wearer's hand is provided, and at least the index finger portion (12b), the middle finger portion (12c) and the ring finger portion (12d) described above are provided. On the surface of the finger pad portion in the above, a coloring agent holding portion (14) for holding the coloring agent in a detachable manner is provided.

In the glove for hair coloring of the present invention, the glove body (12) is formed of nitrile rubber, and the coloring agent holding portion (14) is attached to the surface of the glove body (12) with an adhesive ( It is preferably composed of a pile (14b) that has been flocked through 14a) or directly with respect to the glove body (12).

Further, in the glove for hair coloring of the present invention, the glove body (12) is formed of nitrile rubber, and the coloring agent holding portion (14) is integrally formed on the surface of the glove body (12). It is also preferable that it is composed of the provided microprojections (14c) and / or the microrecesses (14d).

Further, in the hair coloring glove of the present invention, the coloring agent holding portion (14) is the surface of the index finger portion (12b), the middle finger portion (12c) and the ring finger portion (12d) on the finger pad side. It is preferably provided over the side surface of the finger.

Generally, the work gloves attached to a commercially available coloring agent are simple ones made of a synthetic resin such as polyethylene which does not have elasticity. These gloves are used exclusively for the purpose of preventing the coloring agent from adhering to the hands during the coloring work, and after wearing these gloves, the coloring work is performed using tools such as combs. , Wearing these gloves does not bring about effects such as efficient coloring work.

The hair coloring gloves of the present invention are different from gloves that simply protect the hands from the adhesion of the coloring agent during the conventional coloring work using a comb, by attaching the coloring agent directly to the surface of the worn gloves. These gloves allow you to use your fingers to separate the hair and apply the coloring agent to the roots of the hair, which is especially important when retouching.

Further, since the hair coloring glove of the present invention has a pile or uneven surface, the coloring agent is efficiently entangled with the pile or the uneven surface and easily stays there, while preventing the coloring agent from dripping. It can be accurately distributed to the place where you want to apply. In addition, it is possible to efficiently use a limited amount of coloring agent by having a pile or uneven part where the coloring agent is easily entangled and a part where the pile or unevenness is not applied. it can.

Further, since the hair coloring gloves of the present invention can feel the state of application of the coloring agent by the touch of hands and fingers, it is difficult to apply the coloring agent to small parts such as the hairline of the hair, such as the back of the head. It is also easy to apply to.
Especially for coloring users who have difficulty in detailed work or work by turning their hands to the back of the head, such as the elderly, the convenience of simply moving the fingers along the scalp is the physical and temporal aspect of the coloring work. The burden will be greatly reduced.

It is a figure which shows the glove for hair coloring of one Embodiment (1st Embodiment) of this invention, FIG. 1A is a front view which shows the palm side, and FIG. 1B is a rear view which shows the back side of a hand. It is a partially cut end view which shows the tip of the index finger part of the glove for hair coloring of one Embodiment (1st Embodiment) of this invention. It is a partially cut end view which shows the tip of the index finger part of the glove for hair coloring of another embodiment (second embodiment) of this invention. It is a partially cut end view which shows the tip of the index finger part of the glove for hair coloring of another embodiment (third embodiment) of this invention.

Hereinafter, the hair coloring glove 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1A is a front view showing the palm side of the hair coloring glove of the first embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a rear view showing the back side of the hand of the hair coloring glove of the first embodiment. Further, FIG. 2 is a partially cut end view showing the tip of the index finger portion of the hair coloring glove of the first embodiment.
As shown in these figures, the hair coloring glove 10 of the first embodiment is roughly composed of a glove body 12 and a coloring agent holding portion 14.

The glove body 12 is a bag body worn on at least one hand of the user who performs coloring, and is composed of a thumb portion 12a, an index finger portion 12b, a middle finger portion 12c, a ring finger portion 12d, a little finger portion 12e, and a palm portion 12f. .. The thumb portion 12a, the index finger portion 12b, the middle finger portion 12c, the ring finger portion 12d, and the little finger portion 12e are configured to accept the thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the user's hand, respectively.
The glove body 12 is made of a material that does not allow the coloring agent to permeate or be absorbed, such as synthetic resin such as polyethylene and nylon, and synthetic rubber such as nitrile rubber and chloroprene rubber. In this embodiment, a glove body 12 made of nitrile rubber is used from the viewpoint of ease of wearing and coloring work.

The coloring agent holding portion 14 is a portion of the glove body 12 that removably holds the coloring agent. In the present embodiment, as shown by the shaded portion of FIG. 1, the index finger portion 12b, the middle finger portion 12c, and the ring finger It is provided over the surface of the finger pad side and the side surface of the finger in the portion 12d. The coloring agent holding portion 14 is composed of a layer made of an adhesive 14a attached to the surface of the glove body 12 and a pile 14b planted on the layer made of the adhesive 14a.

The adhesive 14a constituting the coloring agent holding portion 14 may be any adhesive 14a as long as it has resistance to the coloring agent, but in the present embodiment, the glove body 12 has rubber elasticity. Since a glove (made of nitrile rubber) is used, it is preferable to use, for example, a silicone-based or modified silicone-based elastic adhesive so that the adhesive 14a can follow the expansion and contraction of the glove body 12 as much as possible.

Examples of the material of the pile 14b include nylon, rayon, cotton, polyester and the like, but in the present embodiment, the pile 14b is excellent in the adsorption / desorption performance, chemical resistance and durability of the coloring agent. Stretched fibers made of nylon are used.
Further, as the pile 14b, one which has been subjected to an electrodeposition treatment in which an antistatic agent is coated on the surface to give an electric charge is used. Specifically, for example, a treatment is performed in which silica and a surfactant are fixed to the surface of the pile 14b in a bath.

The length of the electrodeposited pile 14b for electrostatic flocking is set to 0 in consideration of the entanglement of the coloring agent and the efficiency of the coloring agent application work to the hair in the state where the coloring agent is contained. 2 mm to 2.0 mm is suitable, and the diameter is suitable to change from 9.0 μm to 28.0 μm depending on the length. However, in the present embodiment, the pile 14b has a fineness of 3.3 dtex (diameter). 20.0 μm) × 1.2 mm in length was used.
The length of the pile 14b does not have to be one kind, and for example, it is preferable that piles 14b having a plurality of kinds of lengths are mixed and flocked.
The flocking density of the pile 14b in the coloring agent holding portion 14 is assumed to be about 20.0 μm as the interval between the individual piles 14b, but the flocking density and the pile length depend on the viscosity of the coloring agent used. It is desirable to adjust.

Next, a method for manufacturing the hair coloring gloves 10 configured as described above will be described. First, the glove body 12 is prepared by the anode method of the adhesion immersion method.
That is, after preparing a prototype made of, for example, ceramics corresponding to the three-dimensional shape of the hair coloring gloves and immersing it in a coagulant solution (for example, an aqueous solution of calcium nitrate) to attach the coagulant to the surface of the mold. It is immersed in a liquid nitrile rubber latex composition that has not been vulcanized or has been pre-vulcanized. According to this method, a latex film having a wide thickness of 0.05 mm to 2.0 mm can be obtained, but in the present embodiment, the latex film is manufactured at about 0.2 mm.

First, the mold is immersed in a coagulant solution in order from the fingertip side with the fingertip side down and the cuff side up, and then pulled up from the cuff side to apply the coagulant to the surface of the mold. A film is formed by adhering. Then, this time, the mold is immersed in the nitrile rubber latex composition for a certain period of time from the fingertip side in a state where the fingertip side is down and the cuff side is up, and then pulled up from the cuff side. A film is formed by adhering the nitrile rubber latex composition to the surface of the mold.

Then, the mold is heated (usually from 120 ° C. to 140 ° C.) to dry the nitrile rubber latex composition and the rubber is vulcanized, or the mold is heated and then the rubber is vulcanized. The glove body 12 is completed.
Further, the method of producing the glove body 12 can be performed by a dieda method or a heat-sensitive immersion method of the adhesion immersion method in addition to the anode method of the adhesion immersion method described above.

Next, the coloring agent holding portion 14 is created at a predetermined position on the glove body 12.
The adhesive 14a is applied to the coloring agent holding portion 14, and the pile 14b described above is sprayed and / or electrostatically adhered to plant hair.
Random orientation is preferable for the flocked state.

Finally, if the glove body 12 is peeled off from the glove prototype, the hair coloring glove 10 is completed.

Next, a method of using the hair coloring gloves 10 of the first embodiment produced by the above manufacturing method will be described.
At the start of the coloring work, the hair coloring gloves 10 of the present embodiment are worn on both hands. The coloring agent is adhered to the surface of the coloring agent holding portion 14 of the coloring gloves 10 in the same manner as by immersing the hand in the coloring agent. At this time, since the pile 14b is a nylon material to which an antistatic agent is applied, it contains a coloring agent but does not absorb it. After attaching the coloring agent to the coloring agent holding portion 14 in this way, with the five fingers slightly open, insert the hand into the root of the hair from the side so as to be orthogonal to the hair, and slide it in sufficiently around the hairline. Gently slide your fingers so that the coloring agent adheres to your hair. When the coloring agent attached to the coloring agent holding portion 14 is transferred to the hair and disappears from the coloring agent holding portion 14, the coloring agent is adhered to the coloring agent holding portion 14 again, and also. Apply the coloring agent to the hair part to which the coloring agent has not been applied by inserting the fingers in the same way. This series of finger movements can be smoothly performed by the elasticity and thinness of the nitrile rubber, which is the material of the glove body 12.

By applying the coloring agent entwined with the coloring agent holding portion 14 directly to the hair using the index finger, middle finger, and medicine finger, no comb or brush is used, so that a large amount of coloring agent is not wasted. The coloring agent entwined with the coloring agent holding portion 14 can be efficiently consumed.

Also, in order to apply the coloring agent to the entire hair, if you use a so-called hand comb that lets you pass your finger between the hair like a comb, the pile 14b on the side of the finger also makes a special tool such as a comb. The coloring agent can be spread over the entire hair without using it. However, since working with the hair coloring gloves 10 of the present invention wearing does not prevent the use of tools such as combs, the coloring work is performed in parallel using combs and the like. May be good.

In the above-mentioned first embodiment, the case where the adhesive 14a is used for fixing the pile 14b is shown as the manufacturing method, but the nitrile rubber latex film of the glove body 12 is in an unvulcanized or pre-vulcanized state. , The pile 14b is sprayed on the portion forming the coloring agent holding portion 14 and / or electrostatically adhered, and then heated for each mold (usually from 120 ° C. to 140 ° C.) to dry the nitrile rubber latex composition. The rubber may be vulcanized at the same time, or the rubber may be vulcanized by heating the mold together after drying once.

Then, a part of the attached individual pile 14b is embedded in the vulcanized membrane and fixed by the membrane, and the rest is exposed to the outside of the membrane, that is, the pile is directly on the surface made of the membrane. 14b is in a state of being transplanted. That is, the adhesive 14a can be omitted. In addition, during the vulcanization, the pile 14b made of thermoplastic drawn fibers made of nylon is exposed to a high temperature, so that the stress accumulated inside the pile 14b is released and curled during drawing. become. In this case, it can be said that the coloring agent holding portion 14 has the shape of a pile 14b that contributes to more reliably holding the required amount of the coloring agent.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the coloring agent holding portion 14 is provided on the entire surface of the index finger portion 12b, the middle finger portion 12c and the ring finger portion 12d on the finger pad side and the finger side surface is shown. The holding portion 14 may be provided at least on the surface of the finger pad portion of the index finger portion 12b, the middle finger portion 12c, and the ring finger portion 12d. Therefore, the range in which the coloring agent holding portion 14 is provided is further beyond the above-described embodiment, for example, the fingers of the thumb portion 12a, the index finger portion 12b, the middle finger portion 12c, the ring finger portion 12d, and the little finger portion 12e of the glove body 12. It may be provided on the entire ventral surface and the side surface of the finger, or conversely, it is narrower than the above-described embodiment, for example, the tip of the finger ventral side (that is, the finger) in the index finger portion 12b, the middle finger portion 12c and the ring finger portion 12d. It may be provided only on the surface of the abdomen).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the situation where the hair coloring gloves 10 are used with both hands has been described, but it is also possible to use the gloves 10 with only one hand.

Next, the hair coloring gloves 10 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 will be described.
The difference from the first embodiment described above is that instead of using the pile 14b as the coloring agent holding portion 14, the microprojections 14c are provided directly on the surface of the glove body 12. Since the other parts are the same as those of the above-described first embodiment, the above-mentioned description of the first embodiment is used to replace the description of the present embodiment.

The microprojections 14c are integrally applied to the coloring agent holding portion 14 with the glove body 12. Since it is integrated, it is made of the same material as the glove body 12, and is made of nitrile rubber in this embodiment.

When manufacturing the hair coloring gloves 10 of the second embodiment, the anode method, the dida method, the heat-sensitive dipping method and the like of the adhesion dipping method are used as in the first embodiment, but the first embodiment The difference is the shape of the glove prototype.
That is, in order to create the micro-projection 14c, the micro-recess is provided on the surface of the portion of the glove prototype that corresponds to the coloring agent holding portion 14. Deep and shallow micro-recesses are alternately arranged, and the diameter thereof is preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, and the depth is preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm. In the form, those having a diameter of 1.0 mm and those having a depth of 1.2 mm and 0.6 mm were alternately arranged, and the interval was 0.5 mm. In addition, the bottom of each micro-recess was a hemispherical excavation.

In the same manufacturing process as the manufacturing process of the glove body 12 in the first embodiment described above, by using the glove prototype provided with the minute recesses, the glove body 12 is finally peeled off from the hand mold and turned upside down. Is created with microprojections 14c on the coloring agent holding portion 14. The formed microprojections 14c have a thickness of 1.0 mm and a length of 1.2 mm and 0.6 mm alternately arranged, and the interval between them is 0.5 mm.

In the present embodiment, two types of microprojections 14c having different sizes are provided, but the size and type of the microprojections 14c are not limited to this, and one type may be provided, and conversely, three or more types may be provided. You may try to combine different sizes.
Further, the creation density of the microprojections 14c and the length thereof can be changed according to the viscosity of the coloring agent used for the coloring work and the like.

As described above, since there is no process of applying the adhesive 14a or flocking the pile 14b in the manufacturing process of the second embodiment, the manufacturing process is shortened and the type of material is simple.

In the second embodiment described above, the glove prototype is directly immersed in the coagulant solution to form a film of the nitrile rubber latex composition on the surface thereof, but the coagulant solution or the nitrile rubber latex composition is formed. Before immersing the glove prototype in the glove, a step of first adhering sodium chloride crystals to the range from the fingertips of the four fingers excluding the mother finger to the portion corresponding to the root may be added.

That is, using the glove prototype created by applying a minute recess to the portion corresponding to the coloring agent holding portion 14 as described above, first, with the fingertip side down and the cuff side up, from the fingertip side. Sequentially soak in salt water (sodium chloride solution) of a predetermined concentration, soak to the roots of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger, and then pull up. When this is dried together with the mold, ultrafine sodium chloride crystals are randomly attached to the range from the fingertips of the four fingers excluding the mother finger to the portion corresponding to the root.

After this step, for example, in the case of the anode method, the step is moved to the step of immersing in the coagulant solution. After the glove body 12 is completed and finally the glove body 12 is peeled off from the mold and the front and back sides are reversed, the sodium chloride crystals adhering to the surface thereof are washed away.
By undergoing this sodium chloride solution immersion step, ultrafine irregularities are formed on the surface of the entire coloring agent holding portion 14 including the surface of the microprojections 14c.

In the above step, the range to which the sodium chloride crystal is attached is set to the range from the fingertips of the four fingers excluding the thumb to the portion corresponding to the root, but this range is narrower, for example, the index finger portion 12b and the middle finger portion 12c. , Only the fingertip portion of the ring finger portion 12d may be used, or conversely, the entire glove body 12 may be used as a whole.

According to the hair coloring glove 10 of the second embodiment manufactured as described above, since the microprojections 14c provided on the coloring agent holding portion 14 are made of nitrile rubber, they have sufficient elasticity. Even if the microprojection 14c comes into contact with the scalp, there is no concern that it will be damaged.
Further, when the above-mentioned sodium chloride solution immersion step is performed, the holding power of the coloring agent of the coloring agent holding portion 14 is higher than that when this step is not performed.

Next, the hair coloring gloves 10 of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 4 will be described.
The portion different from that of the second embodiment described above is that a micro-recess 14d is provided as the coloring agent holding portion 14 in place of the above-mentioned micro-projection 14c.

The manufacturing process of the hair coloring glove 10 of the third embodiment is the same as that of the second embodiment, except that the shape of the glove prototype to be immersed is used. In order to create the minute recess 14d in the coloring agent holding portion 14, the portion corresponding to the coloring agent holding portion 14 of the glove prototype used in the same manufacturing process as in the second embodiment is provided with the minute protrusion. Long and short protrusions are alternately arranged, and the diameter thereof is preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm, and the length is preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm. In the embodiment, those having a diameter of 1.0 mm and those having a length of 1.2 mm and 0.6 mm were alternately arranged, and the interval was 0.5 mm. It is desirable that the groove between the microprojections draws a gentle curve rather than a flat surface.

By immersing the glove prototype using the above-mentioned glove prototype, a large number of minute recesses 14d are created in the coloring agent holding portion 14 of the hair coloring glove 10 which is finally peeled off from the hand mold and whose front and back are reversed.
The shape of the created minute recesses 14d is 1.0 mm in thickness, and 1.2 mm and 0.6 mm in length are alternately arranged, and the distance between them is 0.5 mm.
In the present embodiment, two types of micro-recesses 14d having different sizes are provided, but the size and type of the micro-recesses 14d are not limited to this, and one type may be provided, and conversely, three or more types may be provided. You may try to combine different sizes.
Further, the creation density of the minute recesses 14d and the depth thereof can be changed according to the viscosity of the coloring agent used for the coloring work and the like.

This third embodiment has the same effect as that of the second embodiment, and in addition, the glove prototype can be produced at a lower cost than the second embodiment, so that the hair coloring glove 10 can be produced more economically.
