Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a treatment agent application tool.

Conventionally, a hair dyeing brush disclosed in Patent Document 1 (hereinafter referred to as "conventional ) has been proposed.

In this conventional example, a plate-shaped substrate having a grip portion on the base end side has a brush portion made up of a large number of bristles on one of the two opposite end portions, and a plurality of comb teeth are arranged on the other side. It is a configuration in which a comb portion composed of a comb is provided.

From the above configuration, for example, when performing a hair dyeing operation, the brush is impregnated with a hair dye, the hair is stroked with the brush to apply the hair dye, and then the comb is used to comb the hair. In this way, the hair dye is applied deep into the hair, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the hair is washed to complete the process.

In this hair dyeing work, there are full color that dyes the whole hair and retouch color that dyes only the part where the hair has grown. Hairdressers, especially at hair salons, apply the minimum necessary amount of hair dye to only the areas that they want to dye, such as the roots, middle, and ends of the hair, rather than simply applying the hair dye to the entire hair. At the site where hair dyeing is performed, work requiring detailed and accurate techniques is performed, and the performance (ease of use) of the hair dyeing tool greatly affects the workability of the hair dyeing work described above.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-142851

By the way, in the conventional example, in order to impregnate the hair dye into the brush, the handle is held and the hair dye placed on the tray is scooped up by the brush. If you do not adjust the scooping amount, a lot of hair dye will remain inside the brush even after applying it to the hair, resulting in waste of hair dye. It is economically and environmentally unfavorable, and if the brush contains a large amount of hair dye, it is difficult to perform the above-mentioned work that requires fine and precise techniques. There is a problem that the hair must be carefully applied to the hair, resulting in poor workability.

As described above, there is a demand for a treatment agent applicator that can effectively apply the treatment agent to the hair while minimizing the waste of the treatment agent.

When the treatment agent is applied to the hair, the treatment agent is impregnated in the brush part 3, and the treatment agent is applied to the hair by stroking the hair with the brush part 3. - 特許庁

By the way, the present invention is constructed by arranging a plurality of bundles of hair 4 ′ arranged in a line on the side end surface portion 1 a of the plate-shaped base body 1 having the handle portion 2 on the base end side. The brush portion 3 is provided, and the width W of the brush portion 3 in the direction crossing the longitudinal direction is set to a width of 3 mm to 5 mm, which is narrower than the width of the brush portion of the conventional example (approximately 8 mm to 10 mm). For example, when the grip portion 2 is held and the treatment agent is scooped up with the brush portion 3, the brush portion 3 can contain the treatment agent in an amount suitable for the treatment. That is, the amount of the treatment agent scooped up at one time is smaller than that of the conventional example, and after applying the treatment agent to the hair by stroking the hair with the brush portion 3, the amount remaining inside the brush portion 3 is as much as possible. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the waste of the therapeutic agent as much as possible, and it is economically and environmentally superior.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the brush part 3 can contain an appropriate amount of treatment agent, fine work can be easily performed, and there is no fear that it will adhere to parts other than hair (skin, clothes, etc.). The treatment agent can be applied well to the hair, such as being able to quickly apply to the hair and having good workability.

A specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

This embodiment is a treatment agent applicator used when applying a treatment agent (medicine) such as a hair dye, straightening agent, or treatment to hair, and is a plate-shaped base body having a grip portion 2 on the proximal end side. 1, a brush portion 3 and a comb portion 5 are provided.

In addition, this embodiment is applied to a hair dyeing tool for applying a hair dye as a treatment agent application tool, and is applied to a type in which a brush portion 3 and a comb portion 5 are provided on a plate-like substrate 1, but other drugs are applied. It may be applied to a tool that applies, or it may be applied to a type that has only the brush part 3 (no comb part 5 is provided). is.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the plate-like substrate 1 is a tapered thin plate-shaped body formed of an appropriate synthetic resin member, and has a diameter that decreases toward the proximal end. A handle portion 2 is integrally molded.

A finger rest 6 is provided at the boundary between the plate-like substrate 1 and the handle 2, that is, at a portion where the brush 3 and the comb 5 are connected to the handle 2. The finger rest 6 is It is provided in a concave curved shape.

Therefore, when the fingers of the hand holding the grip part 2 are put on the finger rest part 6, the finger fitting part 6 is easy to hold and the hair dye can be applied smoothly.

In addition, a brush portion 3 is provided at one side end portion of the opposite side end portions of the plate-shaped substrate 1, and comb teeth 5a are arranged in a row at the other side end portion. The comb portion 5 is integrally molded.

At one side end of the plate-shaped substrate 1, a side end face portion set to a dimension (length of about 60 mm, width of about 5 mm) larger than the width W and length L of the brush portion 3 to be described later. 1a is provided, and a plurality of concave portions 1a' are arranged side by side in a row at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the side end face portion 1a.

As shown in FIG. 4, this concave portion 1a' has a circular shape in a plan view, is provided with a diameter of about 4 mm, and is configured so as to plant tufts 4 constituting a brush portion 3, which will be described later. .

The diameter and number of the recesses 1a' and the spacing between the recesses 1a' are set according to the dimensions (width W and length L) of the brush portion 3, which will be described later.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the brush portion 3 has tufts 4 of bundled bristles 4′ arranged in a row on the side end face portion 1a of the plate-like substrate 1 (implanted in the concave portions 1a). ), and straight bristles (filaments) made of polybutylene terephthalate having moderate hardness are adopted as the bristles 4'.

In this embodiment, the width W in the direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the brush portion 3 is set to 3 mm to 5 mm, the length L in the longitudinal direction of the brush portion 3 is set to 50 mm to 60 mm, and the bristles 4' The length X (the length from the surface of the side end face portion 1a to the tip of the hair) is set to 21 mm to 24 mm.

That is, the width W in the direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the brush portion 3 is a factor that mainly determines the amount of the hair dye. is insufficient, and a width wider than 5 mm (for example, 6 mm or more) results in a large residual amount.

In addition, the length L of the brush portion 3 in the longitudinal direction is a factor that mainly determines the ease of use (the ease with which the hair dye can be applied to the hair). 49 mm or less), the range to which the hair dye can be applied is narrow, and a length longer than 60 mm (for example, 61 mm or more) increases the range to which the hair dye can be applied. We have found that the optimum length L is 55 mm.

In addition, the length X of the bristles 4' (the longest bristles 4') (the length from the surface of the side end surface portion 1a to the tip of the bristles) is the same as the width W in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the brush portion 3 described above. , It is a factor that mainly determines the amount of hair dye. ) results in a large residual amount (approximately 30 mm in the conventional example). Therefore, it has been confirmed that 21 mm to 24 mm is desirable from the above point of view, and the optimum length X is 22 mm. Incidentally, if the length X of the bristles 4' is too long, it becomes difficult to use.

In this embodiment, as will be described later, the tip 3a of the brush portion 3 has a sharp shape, and the longest bristles 4' (inner bristles 4') are 22 mm. The shortest bristles 4' (outer bristles 4') are 17 mm.

Further, in this embodiment, the diameter Y of the hair 4' is set to 0.07 mm to 0.09 mm, and this configuration also enables good application of the hair dye.

That is, if the diameter of the hair 4' is large as shown in FIG. 5, a large liquid reservoir S is formed between the adjacent hairs 4', and streaks are formed when the hair dye is applied. Therefore, the smaller the diameter of the bristles 4', the smaller the liquid pool portion S and the more uniform application is possible. There is a problem that it is easy to break if it is too large, and there is a limit to reducing the diameter.

Therefore, as a result of various experiments, it was found that if the diameter is larger than 0.09 mm (for example, 0.1 mm or more), it is difficult to apply the hair dye evenly, and if the diameter is smaller than 0.07 mm (for example, 0.06 mm or less), it is likely to break. Therefore, from the above points, it is confirmed that the diameter Y is preferably 0.07 mm to 0.09 mm and the optimum diameter Y is 0.07 mm in this embodiment.

Further, in this embodiment, the tip portion 3a of the brush portion 3 is provided in a mountain shape that slopes downward toward the front and rear end positions with the central position in the width direction as the apex.

Accordingly, not only is the entire tip portion 3a of the brush portion 3 sharp, but also the tips of the bristles 4' are tapered. The agent can be easily applied (dyed) without remaining on the tip of the brush part 3, and the symmetrical shape of the handle part 2 makes it possible to obtain the same effect regardless of whether the hand holding the handle part 2 is right-handed or left-handed. will perform.

In this embodiment, the length G1 of the grip portion 2 is set to 113 mm, and the width G2 of the portion of the grip portion 2 connected to the plate-shaped base 1 is set to 14 mm. In general, the length of the handle is 120 mm to 140 mm, and it is difficult to grip (difficult to use) if the handle is long, especially for practitioners with small hands such as women. In this embodiment, by setting the dimensions as described above, the grip portion 2 can be easily gripped (easy to use) by anyone.

Since this embodiment is constructed as described above, when the hair dye is applied to the hair, the brush portion 3 is soaked with the hair dye, and the hair is stroked with the brush portion 3 to spread the hair dye onto the hair. apply.

In this embodiment, a brush is constructed by arranging a plurality of bristles 4 bundled together in a row on the side end face portion 1a of a plate-shaped substrate 1 having a handle portion 2 on the base end side. A portion 3 is provided, and the width W of the brush portion 3 in the direction crossing the longitudinal direction is set to a width of 4 mm (3 mm to 5 mm) narrower than the width of the brush portion of the conventional example described above (about 8 mm to 10 mm). Therefore, for example, when the grip portion 2 is held and the hair dye is scooped up by the brush portion 3, the brush portion 3 can contain an appropriate amount of hair dye for hair dyeing. That is, the amount of hair dye scooped up at one time is smaller than that of the conventional example, and the amount of hair dye remaining inside the brush portion 3 after applying the hair dye to the hair by stroking the hair with the brush portion 3 is allowed. Therefore, waste of the hair dye can be suppressed as much as possible, and it is excellent both economically and environmentally.

In addition, in this embodiment, since the brush portion 3 can contain an appropriate amount of hair dye, fine work can be easily performed, and there is no concern that the dye will adhere to areas other than the hair (skin, clothes, etc.). , the application to the hair can be performed quickly and the workability is good, and the hair dye can be applied well to the hair.

In addition, in this embodiment, the hair dye attached to the brush portion 3 can be easily removed even when washed after use, so maintenance is easy.

In this embodiment, the length X of the bristles 4 is set to 22 mm (21 mm to 24 mm), so that the brush portion 3 can easily contain an appropriate amount of hair dye.

In addition, in this embodiment, the diameter Y of the hair 4' is set to 0.07 mm (0.07 mm to 0.09 mm), so the hair dye can be applied satisfactorily in this respect as well.

In addition, in this embodiment, the length L of the brush portion 3 in the longitudinal direction is set to 55 mm (50 mm to 60 mm), which also facilitates the application of the hair dye to the hair.

In addition, in this embodiment, the tip portion 3a of the brush portion 3 is formed in the shape of a mountain whose apex is the central position in the width direction. Since the tips of the bristles 4' are tapered, the hair dye does not remain and is easily adhered to the hair. In addition, because of the symmetrical shape, the same action and effect can be exhibited regardless of whether the hand holding the grip portion 2 is right-handed or left-handed.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate.
