(A) is an enlarged side view of the protrusions of the same shower brush, and (B) to (E) are enlarged side views of the protrusions of the shower brushes according to Modifications 1 to 4, respectively.

Next, embodiments embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings to provide an understanding of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1(A), 2(B), and 2(A), a shower brush 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a large number of brush-shaped protrusions 11 that discharge hot water from its tip. For example, when washing the head, it is possible to perform washing or massage without damaging the hair roots, scalp, or other objects to be washed (not shown).
This will be explained in detail below.

The shower brush 10 has a head main body 12 having the same configuration as a conventionally known shower head.
The head main body 12 shown in FIGS. 1(A) and 1(B) is configured to be attachable and detachable to the tip of a shower hose attached to a faucet main body installed in a bathroom (not shown). This faucet body has the function of switching between hot and cold water and adjusting the temperature of hot water, so by operating the faucet body, the desired hot water is delivered to the head body 12 via the shower hose. Supplied. Note that hot water supply can be started and stopped by operating the faucet body, but after the faucet body has started supplying, it is necessary to operate the switch (button) provided on the head body. It can also be implemented by

As shown in FIGS. 1(A), 2(B), and 2(A), the head body 12 has the above-mentioned protrusions 11 corresponding to each position of the water spray holes (through holes) 13 formed in large numbers. It is integrally attached (the protrusion 11 cannot be removed from the head body 12).
The protrusion 11 is composed of a base portion 14 integrally attached to the head body 12 and a tip portion 15 integrally attached to the tip of the base portion 14, and the base portion 14 has an outer width. becomes a truncated cone shape whose width gradually narrows toward the tip 15, and the tip 15 becomes spherical, so that the shape when viewed from the side resembles a mushroom bun (spatula). A hot water flow path 16 communicating with the water sprinkling hole 13 of the head body 12 is formed linearly along the axis of the protrusion 11 (base portion 14 and tip portion 15), and a hot water flow path 16 is formed at the tip thereof. Hot water is discharged to the outside (outside the shower brush 10 (protrusion 11)) from one discharge port 17.

The configuration of the protrusion 11 described above is not particularly limited as long as it is configured to allow washing or massaging the head.
For example, the dimensions of the protrusion 11 are such that the outer diameter D1 of the proximal end of the base portion 14 (the connection portion with the head main body 12) is approximately 0.5 mm to 2 mm, and the outer diameter D2 of the tip portion 15 is approximately 0.5 mm to 2 mm. The height H from the proximal end of the base part 14 to the tip of the distal end part 15 is about 5 mm to 15 mm, but it can be changed in various ways depending on the application and is not particularly limited. do not have.
Here, since the base portion 14 has a truncated conical shape as described above, its outer width gradually decreases in diameter (width reduction) toward the tip portion 15 (becomes tapered). , the outer diameter of the tip of the base part 14 (connection part with the tip part 15) is smaller than the outer diameter D1 of the base end, for example, about 0.3 mm to 1.5 mm, but from the base end to the tip It may also have a cylindrical shape with approximately the same outer diameter. Thereby, even if force is applied to the base of the protrusion 11 during use, the protrusion 11 can be prevented from coming off from the head body 12.

Further, the tip portion 15 is spherical as described above, and the portion that contacts the head (scalp and hair roots) has a curved surface (arc-shaped cross section). Here, spherical can be composed of a collection of points with a constant distance (radius) from the center, but is not particularly limited. For example, spherical shapes such as hemispheres, ellipses, cones, bells, etc. It can also be composed of shapes.
Hereinafter, the structure of the protrusion of the shower brush according to the modified example will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2(B) to 2(E). Note that the shower brush according to the modified example and the shower brush 10 described above differ only partially in the configuration of the protrusion (the configuration of the tip and the flow path), so the same members are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be given. The explanation will be omitted.

In the protrusion 20 of the shower brush shown in FIG. 2(B), a plurality of (three in this case) discharge ports 22 are formed at the tip of the tip portion 21 .
A hot water flow path 23 formed in this protrusion 20 and communicating with the water sprinkling hole 13 of the head body 12 is connected to a linear part 23a formed in the base part 14 of the protrusion 20 and a cavity formed in the tip part 21. It is composed of a portion 23b (communicating with the linear portion 23a and the plurality of discharge ports 22).
Thereby, the hot water from the water sprinkling hole 13 can be discharged from the plurality of discharge ports 22 to the outside (outside the shower brush (protrusion 20)).

In the protrusion 30 of the shower brush shown in FIG. 2(C), the inner width of the hot water passage 31 formed therein becomes narrower toward the tip 15. As shown in FIG.
A hot water flow path 31 formed in this protrusion 30 and communicating with the water sprinkling hole 13 of the head body 12 is formed in a tapered part 31a formed in the base part 32 of the protrusion 30 and in the tip part 15. It is composed of a straight portion 31b (communicating with the tapered portion 31a and the discharge port 17).
Here, only in the base part 32, the inner width of the channel 31 gradually narrows toward the tip part 15, but gradually narrows (tapered) from the base end of the base part to the tip of the tip part. It is also possible to form a flow path in which the inner width of the tip portion is narrower than the inner width of the base portion.
Thereby, the hot water from the water sprinkling hole 13 can be vigorously discharged from the discharge port 17 to the outside (outside the shower brush (protrusion 30)).

The protrusion 40 of the shower brush shown in FIG. 2(D) has a conical tip 41, and the tip, that is, the portion that contacts the head (scalp and hair roots) has a curved surface (arc-shaped cross section).
A hot water flow path 42 formed in this protrusion 40 and communicating with the water sprinkling hole 13 of the head body 12 is linear along the axis of the protrusion 40, and has one hot water outlet 43 at its tip. It is formed.
Thereby, the hot water from the water sprinkling hole 13 can be discharged from the discharge port 43 to the outside (outside the shower brush (protrusion 40)), and the conical tip portion 41 can also enhance the massage effect.

The protrusion 50 of the shower brush shown in FIG. 2(E) is provided with a discharge member 52 that can come into contact with hair roots, scalp, etc. at the hot water discharge portion of a spherical tip 51.
This discharge member 52 is made of flexible resin or rubber, and the tip portion 51 other than the discharge member 52 is made of a hard material such as plastic. Note that, although the discharge member 52 is normally provided integrally with the distal end portion 51, it may be provided in a detachable manner.
A hot water flow path 53 formed in the protrusion 50 and communicating with the water sprinkling hole 13 of the head body 12 is linear along the axis of the protrusion 50 from the base end of the base portion 14 to the tip of the distal end portion 51. , one discharge port 54 for hot water is formed at its tip (discharge member 52).
Thereby, hot water from the water sprinkling hole 13 can be discharged from the discharge port 54 to the outside (outside the shower brush (protrusion 50)), and wear and tear of the discharge member 52 due to long-term use can also be suppressed.

When using the shower brush 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, for example, the head is washed while discharging hot water from the tips of the protrusions 11.
At this time, since the shower brush 10 has a large number of protrusions 11 in the shape of a brush, it is possible to evenly rinse the deep layers of the hair, the hair roots, the scalp, etc. Moreover, since the tip 15 of the protrusion 11 is spherical, even if the tip comes into contact with the hair root, scalp, etc., there is no risk of damaging the hair root, scalp, etc. Furthermore, since there is no risk of damaging the hair roots, scalp, etc., it is also suitable for massaging the scalp, hair roots, etc.
The above-mentioned effects are the same in the shower brush according to the modified example.
