【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、一端の開口部から他端の開口部に向けて毛髪束を挿通可能にシートにより構成された扁平形状の筒状体からなる毛髪保持具の内部に、毛髪束を挿入又は挿通する毛髪挿入具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
特開平１０−１９２０３６号公報には、筒状体からなる毛髪巻取具（毛髪保持具）の内部に毛髪を挿入する毛髪取込具（毛髪挿入具）が記載されている。この毛髪取込具は、棒状体の端部に毛髪を包囲可能な環部または鉤状部が一体成形されてなり、環部または鉤状部の内側全面又は一部が毛髪を梳き得る櫛状になっているものである。尚、前記公報には、前記鉤状部の形態については具体的に記載されていない。
前記毛髪取込具によれば、その環部に毛髪を挿通・係止させた後、その状態で該毛髪取込具を毛髪巻取具内に挿通することにより、毛髪を毛髪巻取具内に挿通することができる。
【０００３】
しかし、前記毛髪取込具では、毛髪を毛髪巻取具内に挿通している途中において、毛髪が環部の係止位置からずれ落ち易く、毛髪の毛髪巻取具内への挿入・挿通作業が容易ではない。また、前記毛髪取込具によれば、毛髪束を屈曲させることができないので、毛髪束を毛髪巻取具の内部にスムーズに挿入できず、毛髪巻取具の口部がくしゃくしゃになってしまう。
【０００４】
従って、本発明の目的は、扁平形状の筒状体からなる毛髪保持具の内部に、毛髪束を容易に挿入又は挿通することができる毛髪挿入具を提供することにある。

【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、一端の開口部から他端の開口部に向けて毛髪束を挿通可能にシートにより構成された扁平形状の筒状体からなる毛髪保持具の内部に、毛髪束を挿入又は挿通する毛髪挿入具であって、毛髪束を係止し得るフック部を一端部に有する略棒状の本体と、前記本体に対してその長手方向に摺動自在に構成され且つ該フック部を一端部の内部に収納し得る摺動部材とからなり、毛髪束を、前記フック部に係止させた状態で前記フック部と前記摺動部材とで固定するようになしてある毛髪挿入具を提供することにより前記目的を達成したものである。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の毛髪挿入具を、その好ましい一実施形態である第１実施形態について、図１〜図３を参照して説明する。
本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１は、図１〜図３に示すように、一端の開口部Ｔ１から他端の開口部Ｔ２に向けて毛髪束Ｈを挿通可能にシートにより構成された扁平形状の筒状体からなる毛髪保持具Ｔの内部に、毛髪束Ｈを挿入又は挿通する毛髪挿入具であって、毛髪束Ｈを係止し得るフック部２１を一端部に有する略棒状の本体２と、前記本体２に対してその長手方向に摺動自在に構成され且つ該フック部２１を一端部の内部に収納し得る摺動部材３とからなり、毛髪束Ｈを、前記フック部２１に係止させた状態で前記フック部２１と前記摺動部材３とで固定するようになしてある。
【０００８】
本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１について更に詳述する。
前記本体２は、図１に示すように、その他端部２２と前記フック部２１との間に、円筒状の前記摺動部材３を内挿し得る円筒状の円筒部２３が形成されており、前記本体２における前記円筒部２３と前記他端部２２との間の形状は、該円筒部２３の近傍２５（以下、円柱部という）が該円筒部２３の外径と同一外径を有する円柱形状で、該他端部２２の近傍２６が該他端部２２に向かう先細形状である。
【０００９】
フック部２１は、図１（ａ）に示すように、鉤型形状を有している。円筒部２３におけるフック部２１近傍の周面には、係合孔部２３Ａが形成されており、該係合孔部２３Ａは、摺動部材３に形成された係合凸部３２（後述）に係合可能となっている。
フック部２１と円柱形状を有する前記円柱部２５とは、摺動部材３の内部を貫装する連結部２４で連結されている。連結部２４におけるフック部２１近傍には、半径方向に延出したストッパー部２４Ａが形成されている。
【００１０】
前記摺動部材３は、前記本体を内挿し得る筒状部材である。摺動部材３の一端部には、図１に示すように、半径方向に延出したストッパー部３４が設けられており、摺動部材３の他端部には、連結部２４を挿通可能な孔部を有する底面部３３が設けられている。また、摺動部材３の外周部には、半径方向に弾性的に突出する係合凸部３２が形成されており、該係合凸部３２は、本体２の円筒部２３に形成された係合孔部２３Ａに係合可能となっている。
【００１１】
前記摺動部材３は、前記円筒部２３に内挿され、弾性部材４により前記フック部２１に向けて常時付勢されている。詳述すると、本体２の円筒部２３の内部には、図１に示すように、コイルばねからなる弾性部材４が、連結部２４の外周を螺旋状に巻回するように設けられており、該弾性部材４の一端が摺動部材３の底面に当接し、本体２の円柱部２５の端面に当接している。
【００１２】
摺動部材３は、他端部２２方向には、図１に示すように、摺動部材３のストッパー部３４と本体２の円筒部２３の一端縁部２３Ｂとが当接するまで移動可能となっており、また、フック部２１方向には、図１（ｂ）に示すように、摺動部材３の底面部３３の内面と本体２の連結部２４のストッパー部２４Ａとが当接するまで移動可能となっている。
そのため、本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１は、毛髪束Ｈを、フック部２１と摺動部材３の一端部の内周面とで固定できるようになっている。
【００１３】
本体２及び摺動部材３は、合成樹脂材料の切削又は成形加工等により形成することができる。本実施形態においては、本体２は、円筒部２３とそれ以外の部分とが別体で構成されている。
本体２の円柱部２５及び円筒部２３の外径は、本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１と組み合わせて使用される筒状体からなる毛髪保持具に挿入した際に、適度な挿通抵抗で挿通し得る程度の外径に形成されていることが好ましい。具体的には、前記毛髪挿入具１の最大外周長は、前記毛髪保持具Ｔの横断面の内周長の０．７〜１．０倍であり、好ましくは０．８〜１．０倍である。また、確実な戻り阻止効果を得たい場合には、本体２の円柱部２５及び円筒部２３の外周面に、半径方向に突出する凸部を形成してもよい。
【００１４】
次に、本発明の毛髪挿入具の一実施形態の一使用態様について、図２及び図３を参照しながら説明する。
先ず、摺動部材３がフック部２１側に位置している状態の毛髪挿入具１において、図２（ａ）に示すように、摺動部材３を本体２の他端部２２に向けて弾性部材４の付勢力に反する方向に摺動移動する。摺動部材３は、ストッパー部３４が本体２の円筒部２３の一端縁部２３Ｂに当接するまで移動することができ、そうすると、それまで摺動部材３で隠れていたフック部２１が露出する。また、摺動部材３の係合凸部３２と本体２の円筒部２３の係合孔部２３Ａとが係合し、その状態が維持される。そして、この状態で、毛髪保持具Ｔに挿入しようとする毛髪束Ｈをフック部２１に係止する。
【００１５】
次に、摺動部材３の係合凸部３２を内周方向に押圧して、摺動部材３と本体２の円筒部２３との係合を解く。そうすると、本体２の円筒部２３の内部に設けられたコイルばねからなる弾性部材４の反発力により、図２（ｂ）に示すように、摺動部材３は、フック部２１方向に付勢され、フック部２１に向けて摺動移動する。摺動部材３は、図１（ｂ）及び図２（ｂ）に示すように、底面部３３と本体２の連結部２４のストッパー部２４Ａとが当接するまで移動することができ、そうすると、フック部２１が摺動部材３の内部に収納され、フック部２１に係止されている毛髪束Ｈを、本体２のフック部２１と摺動部材３の一端部の内周面３１とで固定することができる。
【００１６】
このように毛髪束Ｈが固定された状態の本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１を、図３（ａ）〜（ｃ）に示すように、本体２の他端部２２から毛髪保持具Ｔの一端の開口部Ｔ１へ挿入し、他端の開口部Ｔ２から抜き出す。
このようにして毛髪挿入具１を毛髪保持具Ｔを一端の開口部Ｔ１から他端の開口部Ｔ２に挿通させると、図３（ｃ）に示すように、毛髪束Ｈの先端が毛髪保持具Ｔの他端の開口部Ｔ２から少しはみ出た状態となる。然る後、毛髪保持具Ｔを巻回する等して、毛髪束に所定の巻きぐせを付与することができる。
尚、必ずしも、毛髪束Ｈの先端を毛髪保持具Ｔの他端の開口部Ｔ２からはみ出させる必要はない。また、毛髪束には、明確には束になっていないが、ある程度の本数の毛髪がまとまっているものを含む。
【００１７】
本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１によれば、摺動部材３の移動により、必然的に毛髪束Ｈを屈曲させることができ、さらにフック部２１と摺動部材３の一端部の内周面３１で毛髪束Ｈが固定されるため、毛髪束を屈曲できない毛髪挿入具を用いた場合に比べて毛髪束Ｈを毛髪保持具Ｔの内部にスムーズに挿入でき、毛髪保持具Ｔの口部がくしゃくしゃになることがない。また、毛髪束Ｈを毛髪保持具Ｔ内に取り込んでいる途中でフック部２１から毛髪束Ｈがずれ落ち難く、位置ずれが起こらなくなり操作性が向上する。特に、口部が高剛性に形成されていない毛髪保持具と組み合わせて用いた場合にも、毛髪束を毛髪保持具の内部にスムーズに挿入し得る効果が得られる。
【００１８】
また、毛髪束Ｈを毛髪保持具Ｔ内に取り込む際に生じる反力が生じ難く、毛髪挿入具１を毛髪保持具Ｔからスムーズに抜き出し易い。更に、毛髪束を環状の係止部に係止する場合には、毛髪束を環状の係止部に挿通した後、毛髪束を持ち直す必要があるが、本実施形態によれば、毛髪束Ｈを鉤状のフック部２１に係止するので、毛髪束Ｈを持ち直す必要がない。
また、毛髪挿入具１の横断面の外周長と毛髪保持具Ｔの横断面の内周長とが所定比率となっているため、毛髪挿入具１を毛髪保持具Ｔの内部に挿通させると適度な挿通抵抗が加わる。そのため、毛髪挿入具１を毛髪保持具Ｔの内部に挿通させている際に、毛髪保持具Ｔがずれ落ち難く、取り扱いが容易である。
【００１９】
尚、本発明の毛髪挿入具において、該毛髪挿入具の最大外周長が毛髪保持具の横断面の内周長の０．７倍の場合、毛髪挿入具に対して毛髪保持具をたくしあげることによって、接触面積や摩擦が増大し、ズレ落ちを防止できる。更には、毛髪保持具の長さが毛髪挿入具の長さよりも極端に長くなるものも使用できる。毛髪挿入具の最大外周長が毛髪保持具の横断面の内周長の１．０倍の場合、毛髪保持具の最大伸び寸法の破断しないものまで使用できる。本発明の毛髪挿入具において、「毛髪挿入具の最大外周長」とは、実質的に毛髪保持具が止まる機能を有する箇所の寸法と定義する。
【００２０】
次に、本発明の毛髪挿入具の他の実施形態について説明する。これらの実施形態については、第１実施形態と異なる点についてのみ説明し、特に説明しない点については、第１実施形態に関する説明が適宜適用される。そして、他の実施形態の毛髪挿入具においても、第１実施形態の毛髪挿入具と同様に、毛髪束を容易に毛髪保持具の内部に挿通できる。
【００２１】
本発明の第２実施形態の毛髪挿入具は、図４に示すように、前記本体２が、前記摺動部材３を貫通して設けられている。本体２は、板状部材からなり、先端部に向けて先細形状を有しており、長手方向中央部には、長手方向に延びるスライド長孔２７が形成されている。フック部２１は、図４に示すように、その先端がフック部２１の他の部分に当接した形態となっている。
また、摺動部材３の内部には、本体２のスライド長孔２７をスライド移動し得るスライドピン３５が設けられている。そのため、摺動部材３は、他端部２２方向には、図４（ａ）に示すように、スライドピン３５と本体２のスライド長孔２７の他端部２２側とが当接するまで移動可能となっており、また、フック部２１方向には、図４（ｂ）に示すように、スライドピン３５と本体２のスライド長孔２７のフック部２１側とが当接するまで移動可能となっている。
【００２２】
本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１によれば、図５に示すように、毛髪束Ｈをフック部２１の先端から滑り込ませるようにして、フック部２１に係止することができる。そして、その状態で摺動部材３をフック部２１方向に摺動移動させることにより、フック部２１に係止されている毛髪束Ｈを、摺動部材３のフック部２１と摺動部材３の一端部の内周面３１とで固定することができる。
【００２３】
このように毛髪束Ｈが固定された状態の本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１も、第１実施形態と同様の使用態様により、毛髪束Ｈを毛髪保持具Ｔに挿通することができ、同様の効果を得ることができる。
また、本実施形態の毛髪挿入具１においては、フック部２１は、その先端がフック部２１の他の部分に当接した形態となっているため、フック部２１が完全な鉤状である場合に比して、毛髪束Ｈの取り扱いが一層容易である。また、本発明の毛髪挿入具を、簡易な構造で構成することができる。
【００２４】
本発明の毛髪挿入具は、前述した実施形態に制限されることなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない限り、適宜変更が可能である。
例えば、本体のフック部は、第１実施形態のような鉤状や、第２実施形態のような先端がフック部の他の部分に当接した形態に限定されず、完全な環状でもよい。
【００２５】
また、フック部は、図６に示すような構成とすることができる。図６に示す構成のフック部２１は、鉤状のフック部鉤体２１Ａと、フック部鉤体２１Ａの先端とフック部２１の基部とを繋ぐように設けられた棒状のフック部棒体２１Ｂとからなる。フック部棒体２１Ｂは、フック部２１の基部に設けた回動軸２１Ｃにより回動自在に固定されている。また、フック部２１には、線材を巻回して形成されたばね部材２１Ｄが、その一端部がフック部棒体２１Ｂに係止され、その中間部が回動軸２１Ｃに巻回され、その他端部がフック部２１の基部に係止されている。そのため、フック部棒体２１Ｂは、フック部２１外側〔図６（ｃ）の矢印に示す方向〕に向かって常時付勢されている。
【００２６】
このように構成されたフック部２１によれば、未使用時においては、図６（ａ）に示すように環状に形成されているが、図６（ｂ）及び（ｃ）に示すように、フック部棒体２１Ｂを内側に押圧することにより、毛髪束Ｈをフック部２１に係止することができる。また、毛髪束Ｈをフック部２１に係止すると、フック部棒体２１Ｂは、ばね部材２１Ｄによる付勢力により、元の位置（フック部２１先端に当接する位置）に戻る。そのため、毛髪束Ｈをフック部２１に容易に係止できると共に、毛髪束Ｈをフック部２１に係止した後にはフック部２１が環状に形成され、毛髪束Ｈの取り扱いが一層容易である。
【００２７】
本発明の毛髪挿入具における摺動部材は、本体に対してその長手方向に摺動自在に構成され且つフック部を一端部の内部に収納し得るものであれば、筒状の断面形状を有するものに限定されず、例えば、２枚の板状部材をその両側縁部で結合した断面形状を有するものでもよく、また、６角形、８角形等の多角形の断面形状を有するものでもよい。
【００２８】
【発明の効果】
