When gripping the bases 29 and 39 of the gripping member, the gripping members 2 and 3 close as shown in FIG. 2 against the biasing force, and when the gripping force is weakened, the gripping members 2 and 3 open as shown in FIG. . A power cord 28 is connected to the end of the grip member 2 on the base 29 side.
[0014]
<3. Structure of the hair clip portion>
The hair clip portions 4, 5, 4a, 5a are made of heat-resistant members such as aluminum die cast products. A heating mechanism (not shown) such as a heating wire is provided inside the gripping member so as to be in contact with the hair clip portion. In 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, although the heating mechanism is provided only in the hair clip parts 4 and 4a, you may provide in the hair clip parts 5 and 5a in addition to or instead of this. These heating mechanisms and the power cord 28 can be connected via a conductive wire (not shown) and a switch (not shown).
[0015]
The hair pinching portions 4 and 5 of the first embodiment are both flat, and when this is used, a hair iron for straight hair is obtained. Of these, a groove 41 is formed in the center of the hair clip portion 4 from the base 29 side to the free end side. On the other hand, each of the hair clip portions 4a and 5a of the second embodiment has a wavefront shape, and has a complementary shape so as to mesh with each other. If this is used, it will become a hair iron for wave hair. In addition, it is desirable that the hair clip portions 4 and 5 (excluding the heating mechanism) of the first embodiment are removable and can be replaced with the hair clip portions 4a and 5a of the second embodiment.
[0016]
<4. Configuration of ion generation mechanism>
The ion generation mechanism 7 is a mechanism that generates negative ions by, for example, connecting a series resonance circuit that generates a high-frequency voltage to the primary winding of the transformer and outputting a high voltage from the secondary winding of the transformer. adopt.
[0017]
The ions generated in this way are preferably generated at positions close to the hair pinching portions 4, 5, 4a, and 5a in order to effectively spread to the heated hair, but spatial competition with the heating mechanism. It is desirable to avoid. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ion generating mechanism 7 is provided on the base 29 side from the hair clip portions 4 and 4a. In addition, by providing the ion discharge port 70 on the base 29 side of the hair clip portions 4 and 4a, the distance from the ion generation mechanism 7 to the ion discharge port 70 can be shortened, and the generated ions can be discharged effectively. it can.

<5. Configuration of protrusions and depressions>
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the protrusion 8 that is movably provided on the gripping member 3. The protrusion 8 is made of a resin that is integrally molded together with the outer slide portion 81 and the inner slide portion 82, and has a configuration that does not come off once the member is fitted into the hole 32 provided on the surface of the gripping member 3 as shown in the figure. Has been inserted. Since the hole 32 is formed to be long in the left-right direction in the drawing, the protrusion 8 extends along the hole 32 in the first position on the free end side of the gripping member 3 (state in FIG. 2) and the base 39 of the gripping member 3. It can be reciprocated with a second position (not shown) on the side.
[0019]
When the protrusion 8 is in the first position, the protrusion 8 enters the deep first recess 90 (recess), and when the protrusion 8 is in the second position, the protrusion 8 hits the bottom of the shallow second recess 91. As a result, when the protrusion 8 is at the first position, the hair clip portions 4 and 5 or 4a and 5a are joined when the gripping members 2 and 3 are closed, but when the protrusion 8 is at the second position. Even if the holding members 2 and 3 are closed, the hair clip portions 4 and 5 or 4a and 5a are not joined. Thereby, the user can adjust the closing degree of the holding members 2 and 3. In the present embodiment, since the one-chip projection 8 as described above is simply fitted into the hole 32 of the gripping member 3, the gripping member can be adjusted in its closing state, so that the configuration can be simplified.

[0021]
In the case of the hair iron 1 for straight hair according to the first embodiment, the hair may be slid little by little from the vicinity of the hair root toward the hair tip while the gripping members 2 and 3 are closed. Since the groove 41 is formed in the hair pinching portion 4 of the hair iron 1 according to the first embodiment as described above, ions generated by the ion generating mechanism 7 and discharged from the ion discharge port 70 pass through the groove 41 to the hair. It spreads over the entire hair pinched by the pinching portions 4 and 5. Accordingly, ions can be effectively distributed to the heated portion of the hair, and damage to the hair can be prevented.
[0022]
In the case of the hair iron 1a for wave hair according to the second embodiment, the holding members 2 and 3 hold the hair for a predetermined time, and then the holding members 2 and 3 are once opened to hold the next portion. Therefore, the gripping members 2 and 3 are opened and closed relatively frequently during use of the hair iron 1a. In the hair iron 1a of the present embodiment, the ion discharge port 70 is located on the base 29 side from the hair pinching portion 4a and faces the hair pinching portion 4a side, so that the holding members 2 and 3 are repeatedly opened and closed. The gripping members 2 and 3 have a fanning effect, and ions generated on the base side can be efficiently spread over the entire heated portion of the hair, and damage to the hair can be prevented.
