According to the first aspect of the present invention, the washing water sprayed from the spraying means is sprayed on the collar supported by the supporter through the water flow port, so that the neck is usually formed at the upper edge of the sink. The neck which is easy to hide can be reliably washed. Also, since the support can be attached to and detached from the sink, prepare multiple types of supports with different widths of the water inlet, and replace the support according to the thickness of the neck of the person to be washed. In addition, it is possible to prevent the washing water from being scattered from the water inlet to the outside. Further, when the support is soiled, the support can be removed from the sink and washed, which is very hygienic.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the collar of the person to be washed is supported at two places, the root and the head, so that the force applied to the collar is dispersed and the collar is elastic. Since the support is made of a material, the support has sufficient elasticity, so that the neck is not worn out due to fatigue. In addition, since the support is an integrally molded product, even if the collar is supported at two places, the hair washer does not feel uncomfortable. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the supporting portion is provided with the spring property by inserting the core metal into the supporting portion, the supporting portion is deformed so as to fit the shape of the neck portion near the head. It becomes possible.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the width of the water passage can be adjusted by sliding the shutter, there is no need to replace the support according to the thickness of the neck of the person to be washed. Further, it is economical because there is no need to prepare a plurality of types of supports having different widths of the water inlet. further,
Since the width of the water inlet can be adjusted steplessly, scattering of the washing water from the water inlet can be more reliably prevented.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to reliably wash the neck which is usually easily concealed at the peripheral edge of the upper end of the sink by the hot water spouted from the hole formed in the peripheral surface of the collar support. In addition, since the surface of the collar support member is warmed by the warm water flowing inside, even if the collar directly touches the collar support member, the hair-washing person does not have a cold metal feeling. Furthermore, since the washing water spouted from the hole formed in the collar support member can wet the hair of the person being hung in the sink from the root,
Particularly in the case of long hair, it is possible to prevent hair entanglement.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, warm water can be sprayed on the neck of the person to be washed that is in contact with the neck support, so that the neck is more reliably washed.
