JP-A-5-168515 (paragraph number 0009, FIG. 1) JP 2002-369713 A (paragraph number 0020, FIG. 1) JP-A-9-350 (paragraph number 0024, FIG. 1) JP 2003-284609 A (paragraph number 0029, FIG. 1)

  In a hair setter having a plurality of types of attachments, if the discharge electrode of the negative ion generator is incorporated in each attachment as in Patent Document 2, for example, the overall cost of the hair setter is high. In order to avoid such an increase in cost, as shown in the example of Patent Document 4, a discharge electrode for generating negative ions, a transformer, a circuit board, and the like are provided inside the holder portion of the setter body, and individual attachments are provided. The structure should be simplified.

  Incidentally, in order to be able to replace the attached roll brush, blow brush, nozzle, etc. with respect to the holder part of the setter body, it is required to make the attachment structure of each attachment to the holder common.

  Moreover, since it is very difficult to attach a roll brush to a kamaboko-shaped holder part like the hair setter of patent document 4, when the difference in the structure of each attachment is considered, the roll brush comprised in cylindrical shape is used. The form of the holder must be determined based on the standard. Specifically, it is reasonable to form the holder in a cylindrical shape corresponding to the roll brush, and to make the mounting structure such as the blow brush and the nozzle coincide with the mounting type of the roll brush.

  However, in the case where the roll brush is made to correspond to the holder and formed into a cylindrical shape, it is difficult to accommodate the discharge electrode, the transformer, the circuit board, etc. in the cylindrical holder like the hair setter of Patent Document 4. . When the diameter of the holder is increased, the previous parts can be accommodated, but the attached roll brush and blow brush are increased in size, and the usability is greatly impaired.

  The object of the present invention is to reduce the size of the holder provided on one side of the setter body by optimizing the arrangement of devices such as a discharge unit and a transformer for generating negative ions, and thereby a blow brush, a roll brush, a nozzle, etc. The object is to provide a hair setter that improves the ease of use of the attachment.

  The object of the present invention is to perform a wide range of hair treatments such as hair styling, drying, and crease by changing attachments such as blow brushes, roll brushes, nozzles, etc. to the setter body. The object is to provide a hair setter that can deliver the negative ions of the hair to the hair and moisturize the hair.

Thus, the transformer 31 and the discharge unit 27 constituting the ion generating device are characterized in that the transformer 31 is disposed separately in the main body case 4 and the discharge unit 27 is disposed in the holder 6. .

  Each attachment A 1, A 2, A 3 externally fitted to the holder 6 is supported by an engagement body 23 provided at the projecting end of the holder 6 and a connection cylinder 16 provided at the connection base end of the holder 6, and the main body case 4. And each of the attachments A1, A2, and A3. Between each attachment A1, A2, A3 and the holder 6, as shown in FIG. 4, the external ventilation path 72 of the dry wind which blows off from the delivery port 18 of the holder 6 is formed.

  Further, an inner air passage 71 is formed between the holder 6 and the discharge unit 27 in the holder 6 for sending negative ions generated by the discharge unit 27 out of the holder 6 as shown in FIG. Yes.

  The main body case 4 is constructed by joining a pair of divided cases 4a and 4b divided along the center axis of the case, and the connecting cylinder 16 of the holder 6 made of a plastic molded product is connected to the pair of divided cases 4a and 4b. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the two split cases 4a and 4b can be engaged and fixed in a non-separable manner by a metal coupling cap 25 that is externally fitted and fixed to the connection tube 16.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the holder 6 includes a connection cylinder 16 provided at a connection end with the main body case 4 and a column cylinder 17 that houses the discharge unit 27. The discharge unit 27 there includes an electrode frame 34 and a plurality of discharge electrodes arranged separately from the electrode frame 34. As shown in FIG. 2, an opening is formed in the peripheral wall of the column cylinder 17 facing the discharge electrode. The ion delivery port 21 having a large area can be formed, and a group of vent holes 22 having a small opening area can be opened on the peripheral wall of the remaining column cylinder 17. A far-infrared radiation layer 17a can be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the column cylinder 17 of the holder 6 as shown in FIG.

  The plurality of discharge electrodes attached to the electrode frame 34 are separately arranged along a plurality of radiation center lines. Alternatively, the plurality of discharge electrodes attached to the electrode frame 34 are separately arranged along the longitudinal direction of the electrode frame 34.

  Alternatively, the discharge electrode mounted on the electrode frame 34 is composed of a center electrode 41 arranged back to back, and a peripheral electrode 42 and a dielectric cylinder 43 surrounding the center electrode 41 with the electrode frame 34 interposed therebetween. Each of the paired central electrode 41 and peripheral electrode 42 can be formed as one unit component.

  In this case, the electrode frame 34 includes a main frame 35 having a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 8, a circular electrode seat 38 formed above and below the main frame 35, and a central electrode 41 at the center of the electrode seat 38. And a pair of left and right center electrodes 41, 41 arranged in a back-to-back manner, and a pair of upper and lower electrodes connected by a lead plate 44 and integrated. Four peripheral electrodes 42 that are externally fitted to the electrode seat 38 are integrated via a horizontal frame 45 and a vertical frame 46, and a lead plate 44 loaded in the main frame 35 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal frame 45 of the peripheral electrode 42 that is fixed by the insulating seal material 47 filled in the main frame 35 and fitted to the electrode seat 38 is engaged with the groove 50 formed on the peripheral surface of the electrode seat 38. Together, it can be in a positioned form.

  The hair setter of the present invention comprises a setter body 1 comprising a cylindrical main body case 4 containing a blower fan 2 and a heater 3 and a cylindrical holder 6 connected and fixed to the outlet 5 side of the main body case 4. A plurality of types of attachments A1, A2, and A3 can be exchanged and attached to the holder 6. In addition, the transformer 31 constituting the ion generating device was disposed inside the main body case 4 having a sufficient space, and only the discharge unit 27 that was more compact than the transformer 31 was disposed separately inside the holder 6.

  According to the present invention, the holder 6 to which the attachments A1, A2, and A3 are attached can be sufficiently reduced in size even though the hair setter has the ion generator incorporated therein. As a result, the roll brush A1, the blow brush A2, the nozzle A3, etc. are prevented from becoming large in size, and while improving the ease of use of each attachment A1, A2, A3, hair styling, drying, tacking, etc. A hair setter that can handle a wide range of hair treatments is obtained.

  Each attachment A1, A2, A3 is supported by an engagement body 23 provided at the projecting end of the holder 6 and a connection tube 16 provided at the coupling base end of the holder 6, so that each attachment A1, A2, A3 and If the drying air can be supplied via the outer ventilation path 72 formed between the holder 6 and the negative ions generated by the discharge unit 27 in the holder 6, the drying air flowing in the outer ventilation path 72 is allowed to flow. It can be effectively put on the hair and put on the hair. The attachments A1, A2 and A3 fixedly supported at the two positions of the protruding end and the connecting base end of the holder 6 are always in a stable mounting state on the setter body 1, and the hair treatment such as hair conditioning, drying and kneading is performed by the user. It can be done exactly as intended.

  If the inner ventilation path 71 for sending the negative ions generated by the discharge unit 27 to the outside of the holder 6 is formed inside the holder 6, the discharge unit 27 can also be driven by the dry air flowing through the inner ventilation path 71. Since the generated negative ions can be forcibly delivered to the outer ventilation path 72 around the holder 6, the negative ions generated by the discharge unit 27 are used when the attachments A 1, A 2, A 3 having different structures are used. The hair treatment can be performed effectively by blowing out the hair through the hair.

  A metal case in which the pair of split cases 4a and 4b constitute the main body case 4, the connection tube 16 of the holder 6 is held by the pair of split cases 4a and 4b, and the split cases 4a and 4b are fitted and fixed to the connection tube 16 When the coupling cap 25 made of the product is engaged and fixed so as not to be separated, the holder 6 can be firmly connected and fixed to the main body case 4 without wobbling to improve the robustness. During use, the outer surface of the connecting cap 25 is covered with the connecting cylinder 51 common to the attachments A1, A2, and A3, so that it is possible to reliably prevent the skin from coming into contact with the connecting cap 25 that is easily heated, and the high temperature Even when wind is supplied to each attachment A1, A2, A3, it can be used safely.

  A discharge unit 27 is constituted by the electrode frame 34 and a plurality of discharge electrodes arranged separately from the electrode frame 34, and an ion delivery port 21 having a large opening area is formed on the peripheral wall of the column 17 facing the discharge electrode. According to the holder 6 in which a group of vent holes 22 having a small opening area is opened on the peripheral wall of the remaining column cylinder 17, negative ions generated by the discharge unit 27 are attached to the holder 6 from the ion outlet 21 having a large opening area. Can be reliably sent to the outer surface of each attachment A1, A2, and A3 without resistance. Dry air is mainly sent out from the group of vents 22, and this dry air cooperates with the dry air flowing through the outer air passage 72 to remove the negative ions released into the outer air passage 72 for each attachment A 1. It is useful for sending to the outer surface of A2 and A3.

  If the far-infrared radiation layer 17a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the support column 17 of the holder 6, far-infrared rays are equally emitted when the attachments A1, A2, and A3 are used, and the hair can be heated more quickly from the inside. Hair treatment such as hair styling, drying, and squeezing can be performed more effectively. Since it is not necessary to form the far-infrared radiation layer 17a on each attachment A1, A2, and A3, the manufacturing cost of the entire hair setter can be reduced.

  If the plurality of discharge electrodes are separately arranged along the plurality of radiation center lines of the electrode frame 34, negative ions generated at each discharge electrode can be emitted along the plurality of radiation center lines. Can be fed evenly to the hair wrapped around the brush, and even when using the blow brush A2 or nozzle A3 that blows dry air only in one direction, a larger amount of negative ions Ions can be sprayed on the hair.

  When a plurality of discharge electrodes are separated and arranged along the longitudinal direction of the electrode frame 34, negative ions are fed from a plurality of locations in the longitudinal direction of the column 17 and are captured by the roll brush A1 and the blow brush A2. Even negative hair is evenly fed to the hair directly facing the nozzle port 85 of the nozzle A3 or the nozzle A3, and hair processing such as hair styling, drying, and kinking can be effectively performed.

  A discharge electrode is constituted by a central electrode 41 arranged back to back, a peripheral electrode 42 surrounding the periphery of the central electrode 41 with the electrode frame 34 interposed therebetween, a dielectric cylinder 43, and the like. If each of 42 is formed as one unit part, the center electrode 41 and the surrounding electrode 42, which are arranged back to back, can be assembled to the electrode frame 34 with less effort. The labor required for assembling the unit 27 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Compared with the case where the central electrode 41 and the peripheral electrode 42 are assembled individually, the labor of positioning can be saved.

  A pair of left and right central electrodes 41 and 41 arranged back to back is connected by connecting the upper and lower electrode pairs with a lead plate 44, and the four peripheral electrodes 4, the horizontal frame 45, and the vertical frame 46 are integrated. According to the discharge unit 27 in which these unit parts are assembled to the main frame 35 and the electrode seat 38 of the electrode frame 34, the assembly of the four discharge electrodes can be performed with less labor, and the assembly cost of the discharge unit 27 can be reduced. Can be reduced. Furthermore, when the upper and lower electrode pairs are connected and integrated by the lead plate 44, or the four peripheral electrodes 4, the horizontal frame 45, and the vertical frame 46 are configured as one component, the central electrode 41 and Compared with the case where the peripheral electrode 42 is individually assembled to the electrode frame 34, the reliability of the discharge unit 27 is improved, and the generation of negative ions is uniform without variation.

A groove 13 is formed. Three engaging claws 14 project upward from the upper surface of the upper wall of the groove 13 (see FIG. 4).

  The holder 6 integrally has a large-diameter round cylindrical connection tube 16 provided on the connection end (lower end) side with the main body case 4 and a small-diameter round cylindrical column cylinder 17 continuous with the upper portion of the connection tube 16. It is a plastic molded product. Between the connection cylinder 16 and the support cylinder 17, an outlet 18 for blowing out hot air or cold air is opened. The connection cylinder 16 and the support cylinder 17 are connected via radial ribs 19 that divide the delivery port 18 in the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 6, a far-infrared radiation layer 17a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the column cylinder 17 by coating, for example, a ceramic far-infrared radiator.

  A flange 20 that engages with the groove 13 and a recess that receives the engaging claw 14 are formed on the lower peripheral surface of the connection tube 16. On the peripheral wall of the column cylinder 17, four ion outlets 21 having a large opening area corresponding to discharge electrodes described later and a group of vent holes 22 having a small opening area are opened.

  In FIG. 4, a total of four ion delivery ports 21 are provided, two at each of the two opposite cylindrical walls of the column cylinder 17 in the vertical direction. An engagement boss (engagement body) 23 opening upward is integrally formed at the upper end of the column cylinder 17, and a rectangular fastening frame 24 is formed therein.

  The holder 6 is integrated with the main body case 4 by joining and fixing the divided cases 4a and 4b in a lid-matching manner. Specifically, the split cases 4a and 4b are joined together in a cover-like manner with the flange 20 engaged with the groove 13, and the connection cylinder 16 is held by the pair of split cases 4a and 4b. Further, a coupling cap 25 made of a thin metal plate is externally fitted to the connection cylinder 16, and the engagement claw 14 is sandwiched and fixed between the coupling cap 25 and the connection cylinder 16. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, the screw 6 is screwed into the connecting cylinder 16 from the opposed peripheral surface of the coupling cap 25, so that the holder 6 is integrated with the main body case 4.

  When the hair treatment is performed with the attachments A1, A2, and A3 attached to the holder 6, an ion generator is incorporated in the setter body 1 in order to feed negative ions to the hair. The ion generator includes an ion generation unit 26, a discharge unit 27, and a high-voltage lead 28 that connects both of them.

Actually, a substrate on which the rectifier circuit 29, the pulse generation circuit 30, and the like are mounted, and a transformer 31 are enclosed in an insulating block made of plastic in a rectangular parallelepiped shape to constitute the ion generation unit 26.

  Since the column cylinder 17 of the holder 6 has a small diameter dimension, the ion generating unit 26 cannot be disposed therein. Therefore, the ion generating unit 26 having a large outer dimension is disposed inside the main body case 4 having a sufficient space, and only the discharge unit 27 is disposed inside the column cylinder 17.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, a round cylindrical case 32 is fixed to the motor 2a of the blower fan 2, and the ion generating unit 26 is accommodated therein. As described above, when the ion generation unit 26 and the case 32 are arranged using the space adjacent to the motor 2 a, the flow of air sent from the blower fan 2 is not disturbed by the ion generation unit 26. The ventilation resistance in the main body case 4 is reduced, and the blowing efficiency of the blower fan 2 is improved accordingly.

  The discharge unit 27 includes a plastic-molded electrode frame 34 and four discharge electrodes arranged separately from the electrode frame 34. As shown in FIG. 8, the electrode frame 34 is integrally provided with a fastening boss 36 and a knob 37 above and below a main frame 35 having a U-shaped cross section. Circular electrode seats 38 and slits 39 for loading the central electrode 41 into the central portion of the electrode seat 38 are formed at both upper and lower ends of the left and right side walls of the main frame 35. The slit 39 is formed so as to divide one portion of the electrode seat 38 and is continuous with the space in the frame of the main frame 35.

  Each discharge electrode is composed of a needle-shaped central electrode 41, a C-ring-shaped peripheral electrode 42, and a dielectric cylinder 43 made of cylindrical mica. The central electrode 41 discharges with the surrounding electrode 42 to generate ions, and the surrounding electrode 42 is provided to generate a trigger for the discharging of the central electrode 41. The dielectric cylinder 43 is provided to prevent a spark discharge from occurring between the central electrode 41 and the peripheral electrode 42 to reduce the amount of generated ions, and is disposed concentrically with the peripheral electrode 42. In order to facilitate the assembly of the four discharge electrodes, as shown in FIG. 8, the pair of left and right center electrodes 41 and 41 are arranged back to back with the tips of the center electrodes 41 and 41 facing in opposite directions. Further, the upper and lower electrode pairs are connected by the lead plate 44.

The left and right peripheral electrodes 42 are integrated via a horizontal frame 45, and the upper and lower horizontal frames 45 are integrated via a vertical frame 46. That is, the four peripheral electrodes 42, the horizontal frame 45, and the vertical frame 46 are formed as a single press-molded product using a thin copper plate as a raw material. Reference numeral 48 denotes an earth lead connected to the vertical frame 46. The high-voltage lead 28 to which a high voltage is applied is formed of a lead wire that is sufficiently thicker than the ground lead 48.

  The main frame 35 is filled with an insulating sealing material 47 such as silicon rubber while the lead electrode 44 with the four central electrodes 41 fixed is fitted into the main frame 35 and the central electrode 41 is inserted into the slit 39 and loaded. Thus, the center electrode 41 and the lead plate 43 can be fixed to the electrode frame 34, and the center electrode 41 can be positioned at the center of the electrode seat 38.

  Thereafter, the peripheral electrode 42 is fitted and fixed around the electrode seat 38, and the dielectric cylinder 43 is fitted and fixed to the inner surface of the electrode seat 38, so that two sets adjacent to each other on the upper and lower sides of the electrode frame 34 are back-to-back. Discharge electrodes can be provided. The horizontal frame 45 in this assembled state is positioned by engaging with a groove 50 formed in a recess in the peripheral surface of the electrode seat 38 (see FIG. 6).

  The discharge unit 27 having the above-described configuration is loaded into the column cylinder 17 of the holder 6 and the fastening boss 36 is inserted into and engaged with the fastening frame 24. Then, as shown in FIG. The discharge unit 27 is integrated with the holder 6 by being screwed into the fastening boss 36. At this time, the fastening boss 36 can be accurately engaged with the fastening frame 24 by loading the discharge unit 27 into the column cylinder 17 while holding the knob 37. In this engaged state, the fastening boss 36 is received by the fastening frame 24 so as not to rotate, so that the four discharge electrodes can be accurately opposed to the ion delivery ports 21 opened in the column cylinders 17 respectively. .

  As attachments to be replaced with the holder 6, three types of roll brush A1, blow brush A2 and nozzle A3 are prepared in the illustrated example. In these attachments A1, A2, and A3, as a common mounting structure with respect to the holder 6, as shown in FIG. 23, and a locking means is provided between the connecting cylinder 51 and the main body case 4. A lock groove 53 is formed in the inner surface of the connecting cylinder 51 so that a lock claw 68 described later is depressed and engaged (see FIG. 1).

  4 and 6, the roll brush A1 includes a fixed inner cylinder 54 that is externally fitted to the column cylinder 17 of the holder 6, a brush body 55 that is rotatably supported by the fixed inner cylinder 54, and a brush as necessary. A lock button 56 that holds the body 55 in a non-rotatable manner and a spring 57 that pushes up and biases the lock button 56 are included.

  On the peripheral wall of the fixed inner cylinder 54, as shown in FIG. 6, four ion outlets 60 corresponding to the ion outlet 21 formed in the column cylinder 17 and a group of vent holes 61 are opened, and the lower part thereof Further, the connecting cylinder 51 and the dry air outlet 62 are provided. The protrusion 52 was formed as a ring-shaped protrusion on the inner surface of the upper end wall of the fixed inner cylinder 54.

  The brush body 55 is formed of a round cylinder whose upper and lower surfaces are open. A row of comb teeth 63 and a row of vent holes 64 are alternately formed on the peripheral wall of the brush body 55, and the fixed inner cylinder 54 is formed at two locations above and below the comb tooth row. An ion outlet 65 is opened on the peripheral wall facing the ion outlet 60 (see FIG. 9). In a normal state, the brush body 55 cannot rotate with respect to the fixed inner cylinder 54. However, when the lock button 56 is pushed against the spring 57, the claw 58 of the lock button 56 and the groove 59 of the brush body 55 as shown in FIG. Since the brush body 55 can be freely rotated, the hair wound around the brush body 55 can be easily released by maintaining the pushing state of the lock button 56. When the lock button 56 in the pushed-in state is released, the brush body 55 engages with the claw 58 of the lock button 56 and is locked and fixed in place, so that the ion outlet 65 provided in the brush body 55 is fixed to the fixed inner cylinder 54. Directly facing the ion outlet 60 of

  In the state shown in FIG. 3 in which the roll brush A1 is mounted on the holder 6, the connecting cylinder 51 of the fixed inner cylinder 54 is supported by the connection cylinder 16, and at the same time, the protrusion 52 is externally engaged with the engagement boss 23. The mounting posture can be optimized by making the center of A1 coincide with the center of the holder 6.

  In FIG. 1, the lock means includes a lock button 8, a compression coil spring 67 that presses and urges the lock button 8 to a locked position, and the lock groove 53 (see FIG. 10) provided on the inner surface of the connecting cylinder 51. Consists of.

  The lock button 8 is supported so as to be able to protrude and retract with respect to the main body case 4, and a lock claw 68 that is lowered into the lock groove 53 and engages with the lock button 68 is formed integrally therewith. When the lock button 8 is pushed against the spring 67, the engagement between the lock claw 68 and the lock groove 53 is released, so that the roll brush A1 can be separated from the holder 6 and washed with water.

  In use, the dry air sent from the outlet 5 of the main body case 4 blows out to the peripheral surface of the brush body 55 through the outlet 18 of the holder 6 and the outlet 62 of the fixed inner cylinder 54. A part of the drying air flows through the inner ventilation path 71 (see FIG. 4) inside the column cylinder 17 and is sent out from the ion outlet 21 and the ion outlet 60 together with the negative ions released from each discharge electrode. At the same time, the dry air that flows through the outer ventilation path 72 formed between the fixed inner cylinder 54 and the column cylinder 17 is sent out from the ion outlet 60 and the ventilation hole 61.

  The dry air containing negative ions comes in contact with the hair sent from the ion outlet 65 and the vent 64 of the brush body 55 and wound around the brush body 55 to moisturize the hair. Since the negative ions generated by the four discharge electrodes are fed to the hair, the amount of negative ions reaching the hair is increased as compared with the conventional hair setter, and the hair treatment operation can be performed smoothly.

  2 and 10, the blow brush A2 includes a brush holder 74 in which a connecting cylinder 51 is integrally formed at a lower portion, a cover 75 that covers the back side of the brush holder 74, and a rubber that is fixed to the front side of the brush holder 74. The brush base 76 is made of a material and a group of bristles 77 assembled to the brush base 76.

  On the inner surface of the upper part of the brush holder 74, the projection 52 that is fitted and engaged with the engagement boss 23 is formed. The protrusions 52 in this case are a pair of left and right plate-like protrusions that hold the engagement boss 23 therebetween. Ion outlets 78 are opened at two locations above and below the brush base 76, and a row of vent holes 79 is opened between the rows of bristles 77. A lock groove 53 is formed on the inner surface of the connection tube 16, and an air outlet 80 for blowing a part of the dry air toward the group of bristles 77 is opened at the upper part of the connection tube 16.

  In use, the dry air sent from the outlet 5 of the main body case 4 is sent from the outlet 18 of the holder 6 to the inside of the brush holder 74, and a part of the dried air flows from the outlet 80 toward the bristle 77. Blow out. The negative ions sent from the ion outlet 21 into the brush holder 74 together with the drying air are sent from the ion outlet 78 and the vent 79 opened in the brush base 76 and at the same time, the outer vent path 72 formed around the column cylinder 17. The hair is sent from the air vent 79 through the hair and moisturizes the hair captured by the bristle 77.

  At this time, since all of the negative ions generated by the four discharge electrodes are intensively sent out from the ion outlet 78 and the vent 79 provided on one side of the blow brush, compared to the case where the roll brush A1 is used. As a result, a larger amount of negative ions adheres to the hair, improving the moisturizing effect.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 11, the nozzle A <b> 3 has a diverging cylinder 83 that is continuous with the connecting cylinder 51, and a vertically long nozzle cylinder 84 is integrated on the front side of the diverting cylinder 83. A dry air is blown out from a nozzle port 85 that opens to the front surface of the nozzle cylinder 84.

  The negative ions sent from the ion outlet 21 of the column cylinder 17 are sent out from the nozzle port 85 together with the drying air flowing in the turning cylinder 83. A pair of left and right plate-like protrusions 52 that sandwich and hold the engaging boss 23 are formed on the inner surface of the turning tube 83, and the lock groove 53 is formed on the inner surface of the connecting tube 16. At the upper part of the tube wall of the connection tube 16, an air outlet 86 for blowing out a part of the dry air is opened. The inner surface of the nozzle cylinder 84 is divided into three sections by two rectifying plates 87.

  In the state where each attachment A1 to A3 is removed, the column cylinder 17 in a state heated by hot air is exposed, but the entire holder 6 is formed of a plastic molded product and is difficult to transmit heat. Even if the column cylinder 17 is touched, it is difficult to feel the heat and there is no possibility of causing burns.

(Another Example) FIGS. 12A to 12D show different examples of the present invention in which the arrangement of discharge electrodes is changed. In FIG. 12A, the two discharge electrodes are arranged alternately above and below the electrode frame 34. In FIG. 12B, two discharge electrodes are arranged back-to-back on the upper part of the electrode frame 34. In FIG. 12C, the three discharge electrodes are separately arranged along the three radiation center lines. In FIG. 12D, the two discharge electrodes are separately arranged on one side of the electrode frame 34. Thus, it is sufficient that at least two discharge electrodes are attached to the electrode frame 34.

  In addition to the above-described embodiment, a heat storage type hair curler or the like can be exchanged and attached to the holder 6 as an attachment. The discharge electrode need not have the structure described in the embodiment, and the dielectric cylinder 43 can be omitted when the voltage applied to the central electrode 41 is set low. Further, even when the voltage applied to the central electrode 41 is high, if the central electrode 41 and the surrounding electrode 42 are arranged in a state where they are displaced from each other in the front-rear direction, no spark discharge occurs. The cylinder 43 can be omitted. It may be a creeping discharge type in which a discharge electrode and an induction electrode are separately arranged on the front and back of an insulating plate (dielectric) formed of a mica plate or a ceramic plate, or an electrode in which two needle-like electrodes are arranged opposite to each other It may be a structure. In short, the structure is not limited as long as the discharge electrode can generate ions.

  The protrusion 52 and the engagement boss 23 can be changed to a structure in which the protrusion 52 is fitted and engaged with the engagement boss 23. In the above embodiment, the ion generation unit 26 in which the substrate on which the rectifier circuit 29 and the pulse generation circuit 30 are mounted and the transformer 31 is integrated is arranged inside the main body case 1, but this is not necessary. Only the transformer 31 may be disposed inside the main body case 1. In that case, a substrate on which the rectifier circuit 29, the pulse generation circuit 30 and the like are mounted may be disposed in the holder 6.
