Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair curler used for curling hair and adjusting hair style.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional hair curler has a built-in heater, and by heating this heater, heat is transmitted to a cylindrical bobbin formed of a heat storage material, and the heat curls the hair. Also,
In some cases, the heating rod is heated, and the bobbin is heated by the conductive heat, and the heat curls the hair. Further, there is also a device in which steam is added to a sponge-like winding frame and curled.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

In the case of curling by heat, there is a drawback that the curling is poor and the setting is lost with time after setting. Also, to give the hair heat and curl it,
There is a drawback that the moisture content in the hair, in which moisture in the hair flies off due to heat, is reduced, the hair itself is small, the feel is poor, and the hair becomes dull.

In addition, when steam is added to a sponge-like bobbin, the steam flies before it is wound around the hair,
There was a disadvantage that the curl effect was weak.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hair curler having a high curling effect and a high holding effect without reducing the moisture content of the hair.

[Means for solving the problem]

The hair curler of the present invention has a bobbin provided with a vent, and a hot plate is provided inside the bobbin,
Water is supplied by a water supply tank provided on the winding frame so as to be able to move forward and backward in the axial direction, and a water absorbing body is provided which moves with the movement of the water supply tank and comes into contact with the hot plate.

[Action]

The hair curler is mounted on the heating means to heat the hot plate.
In this state, after winding the hair around the bobbin and holding the hair bundle,
Press the water supply tank to press the water absorbing body against the hot plate. At this time, the water on the surface of the water absorbing body is instantaneously steamed, passes through the air holes, and penetrates into the wound hair. The time for pressing the water absorbing body against the hot plate is appropriately controlled, and the hair bundle is curled by leaving it in this state.
As described above, since steam is applied to curl the hair, the hair can be curled without lowering the moisture content. For this reason, the hair loses moisture and becomes small and does not become split or cut.

〔Example〕

A hair curler according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The winding frame 11 of the hair curler 30 is made of a synthetic resin and formed in a cylindrical shape, and a plurality of ventilation holes 13 are provided on the outer periphery. The heater 2 to be heated by the power supply terminals 3 and 4 is attached to the inside of the winding frame 11 by a heater fixing frame 9. The heater 2 is formed of a PTC element (positive temperature coefficient thermistor) and is tightly integrated with a hot plate 1 formed of aluminum or copper. The hot plate 1 and the heater fixing frame 9 also serve as electrodes of the PTC element. Reel 1
A water supply tank 6 is attached to 1 by a tank fixing frame 10 so as to be able to advance and retreat in the axial direction. At one end of the water supply tank 6, a water absorbing body fixing frame 12 for holding the water absorbing body 5 formed of a water absorbing felt or the like is provided. The water absorber fixing frame 12 and the water supply tank 6 communicate with each other, and the surface of the water absorber 5 is in a wet state due to the penetrating force of the felt. Further, the water supply tank 6 and the water absorbing body 5 are constituted via a return spring 8, and when the tank cap 7 which is also used as a push button is pressed, the water absorbing body 5 moves and comes into contact with and separates from the hot plate 1; It is a mechanism to return by force.

FIG. 2 shows a power supply block base 18 serving as a heating means for supplying power to the power supply terminals 3 and 4 of the hair curler 30. That is, the power supply block base 18 includes a terminal 14 that makes contact with the power supply terminal 3, a terminal 15 that makes contact with the power supply terminal 4, and
A terminal block 16 provided with a terminal insertion hole 19. 17 is an outlet. Further, in the same figure, two of the same configuration are provided so that two hair curlers 30 can be heated.

FIG. 3 shows a holding cover 20 for holding the hair bundle after winding the hair bundle around the winding frame 11. The holding cover 20 is formed of a synthetic resin molded product and has a plurality of emission holes 21.

Next, the operation of the hair curler will be described.
The heater fixing frame 9 of the hair curler 30 is externally fitted to the terminal block 16 of the power supply block base 18 and the power supply terminals 3 and 4 are inserted into the terminal insertion holes 1.
Insert into 9. At this time, the power supply terminal 3 and the terminal 14 come into contact with each other, and the power supply terminal 4 and the terminal 15 are connected to apply power to the PTC element, so that the heater 2 generates heat and the heating plate 1 is heated.
After the hot plate 1 is heated, the hair curler 30 is removed from the power supply block base 18, and the bobbin 11 is wrapped around the hair bundle to be curled and fixed with the holding cover 20. Thereafter, the water absorbing body 5 which has been supplied with water from the tank cap 7 in advance and whose surface is wet is pressed against the hot plate 1 by pressing the tank cap 7. The water on the surface of the water absorbing body 5 pressed against the hot plate 1 is instantaneously steamed, passes through the air holes 13 and penetrates into the wound hair. In this case, while the tank cap 7 is being pressed, the hot plate 1 and the water absorbing body 5 are kept in contact with each other, so that the steam continues to be generated. In this way, the amount of steam that permeates the hair can be controlled by the time when the tank cap 7 is pressed. Then, when the tank cap 7 is released, the water absorbing body 5 is separated from the hot plate 1 by the repulsive force of the return spring 8, and the generation of steam is stopped.
By leaving the hair bundle as it is, the hair bundle is curled. The curling effect is determined by the amount of steam and the amount of time left after steam generation. For a fixed amount of steam, the longer the standing time, the better the curling effect (the curl is firmly applied). Is attached. In this way, by determining the amount of steam (the time during which the tank cap 7 is being pressed) and the standing time, it is possible to freely select the curling effect (firm curl or loose curl).

FIG. 4 shows a hair curler 30 of the second embodiment. The hair curler 30 is formed by winding a sponge body 22 formed of a gas-permeable urethane foam material on the outer peripheral surface of a winding frame 11. A heat storage material is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the heater fixing frame 9.
28 are provided. In this embodiment, the winding frame 11 is given a soft feeling, and is dispersed when the steam passes through the sponge body 22, so that the steam permeates the entire hair bundle. In addition, since steam does not directly go outside as compared with the case where only the ventilation hole is provided, there is an effect that the heat of steam to the scalp is softened. Other configuration effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

FIG. 5 shows a hair curler 30 of the third embodiment. The hair curler 30 is obtained by attaching a moisture absorbing sheet 23 formed of felt having good water absorbability to the inner peripheral surface of the winding frame 11. In this embodiment, when steam is generated, dew condensation generated inside the winding frame 11 can be absorbed by the moisture absorbing sheet 23. Other configuration effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

6 and 7 show a fourth embodiment, in which a steam generating section (FIG. 6) and a bobbin 26 (FIG. 7) can be separated. More specifically, the main part of the steam generating section is the same as that of the first embodiment, and a steam cover 24 which is a cylinder having a smaller diameter than the winding frame 11 is provided. The steam cover 24 has a plurality of ventilation holes 33. One end is fixed to the heater fixing frame 9 via the fixing cap 25.
The other end is fixed to the water absorbing body fixing frame 10. Reel 26 is first
As in the case of the third embodiment, a plurality of ventilation holes 13 are provided, and one end is press-fitted to the fixing cap 25 of the steam generating portion. According to this embodiment, since the steam generating section and the winding frame 26 are separated, steam can be supplied to a large number of winding frames 26 with one steam generating section, and therefore, compared to the case where each hair curler has a steam generating section. We can offer products cheaply. In addition, there is also the effect that a large number of reels 26 are wound in advance around the part of the hair to be curled, then the steam generator is heated and inserted into the reel 26 to generate steam and curl, so that it can be set in a short time. is there.

According to these embodiments, when the hair curler 30 is wound, the hair curler 30 is separated from the power supply block base 18, so that power supply with a power cord is not required, and cordlessness can be achieved, and hair can be achieved. There is no danger of electric shock or leakage even if the power supply terminal of the curler is touched. The handling is convenient. The hair curler 30 may be heated by heating means such as liquefied natural gas.

〔The invention's effect〕

According to the hair curler of the present invention, after the hair is wound around the bobbin and the hair bundle is held, the steam generated by pressing the water absorbing body against the heated hot plate is allowed to penetrate into the hair through the air holes of the bobbin. , And is left as it is to be curled. That is, since steam is applied to curl the hair, effective curling can be performed without reducing the moisture content of the hair. For this reason, the hair does not lose moisture and becomes short and does not become split ends or cut hairs, and the hair can be curled healthy.
