  Hereinafter, the water absorbent body for hair of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a water absorbent body for hair according to an embodiment of the present invention.

  This water absorbent body for hair 1 includes a towel cloth 11 formed in a cylindrical shape (corresponding to an example of the tubular body of the present invention) and rubber 12 sewn inside the towel cloth 11 (an example of an elastic body of the present invention). Equivalent). The hair absorbent body 1 for hair is for opening one mouth of a tube formed by the towel cloth 11 and covering the wet head to absorb moisture in the hair. Furthermore, when the hair is long, the hair is passed through the tube to absorb moisture.

  The towel cloth 11 is made of a fiber excellent in water absorption. More specifically, the towel cloth 11 is made of synthetic fiber (80% polyester, 20% nylon) having an irregular cross section, and absorbs water for 2 seconds by a sedimentation method (JIS L 1907-2004 5.1.3). It shows sex. The entire towel cloth 11 can absorb 113 to 131 ml of water within one second. The irregular cross section refers to a cross section that is not a circle, such as a cross-shaped cross section. Since the capillarity is expressed by the shape having the irregular cross section, there is a feature that moisture can be absorbed quickly (hereinafter sometimes referred to as water absorption). The towel material 11 may be made of other materials as long as it has water absorption.

  The cylindrical towel cloth 11 has a mouth size at both ends such that a person's head can pass through, and the towel cloth 11 can be passed from the head to the neck. Moreover, it is formed so that the space inside the towel cloth 11 becomes narrower from one mouth toward the other mouth so as to be more closely attached to the head. In addition, the length of the towel 11 in the axial direction is a length (40 cm in this case) that can accommodate the hair that can reach the shoulder. The length may be longer (for example, 55 cm). In the following description, the larger mouth is referred to as a covering mouth, the end having the covering mouth is referred to as a lower end D, and the opposite end is referred to as an upper end U.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the shape of the rubber 12 provided on the hair absorbent body 1 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 2A shows a state where the rubber 12 has a spiral shape. FIG. 2B shows a state in which the rubber 12 is arranged in a spiral shape when the water absorbent body for hair 1 is viewed from the axial direction.

The rubber 12 shown in FIG. 2 is a single rubber, and the rubber 12 is sewn in a spiral shape from the lower end D to the upper end U of the towel cloth 11. With this rubber 12, the hair absorbent body 1 has an inner diameter smaller than that of the head and a length in the axial direction shorter than that of the towel cloth 11 when not used (without tension). When this hair absorbent body 1 is put on the head, the inner diameter of the hair absorbent body 1 is expanded, and the rubber 12 is appropriately stretched to fit the head. further
When the hair passed through the hair absorbent body 1 is long, it can be adjusted to the length of the hair by pulling the hair absorbent body 1 in the axial direction. Since the rubber 12 has a single spiral shape, the force pulled in the axial direction can be dispersed throughout and the hair can be pressed with an equal force. Furthermore, the rubber 12 which is one elastic body can be sewn at a time while rotating the towel cloth 11. That is, the operation is easier than the case where a plurality of elastic bodies are attached one by one, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, there is no restriction | limiting in particular about the thickness etc. of the rubber | gum 12, The thing according to the size of the towel cloth 11, the size of the head, and the quality of the hair can be selected. An elastic body other than rubber may be used.

  The above is the basic configuration of the water absorbent body for hair in the present invention. Note that the upper end U side may not be open, and for example, the upper end U side mouth may be sewn and closed.

  Here, the usage method of the water absorption body 1 for hair shown in FIG. 1 is demonstrated.

  The procedure for using the hair absorbent body 1 is as follows. First, after expanding the covering mouth and covering the head, the head is pulled to the lower end D side, and the hair absorbent body 1 for hair is passed to the neck. When the hair is long, the hair is put out on the outer side of the hair-absorbing body 1 passing through the neck. Thereafter, the upper end U is pulled to raise the hair from the hairline so that the head is covered with the head while being contained in the hair absorbent body 1. By this procedure, the hair can be housed inside the hair absorbent body 1 without forcibly bending the hair, and the hair can be prevented from being wrinkled. At this time, a part of the front end side of the hair may protrude from the upper end U side, but the head hair is gathered by the mouth of the upper end U, so that the hair can be prevented from being rubbed and damaged. That is, according to the hair absorbent body 1 for hair, it is possible to wrap up the hair easily and quickly absorb the moisture of the wet hair. If the upper end U of the hair absorbent body 1 is not open, the hair absorbent body 1 is put on the head and pulled toward the lower end D, and then the upper end U side is pulled up so that all the hair is brought into the interior. Can fit.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a usage example of the water absorbent body 1 for hair.

  FIG. 3A shows a side view of the state in which the hair absorbent body 1 shown in FIG. 1 is used in accordance with the use procedure described above. FIG. 3B shows a state of viewing the state of FIG.

  When the hair gets wet, it absorbs moisture and becomes fragile when rubbed. If the hair is naturally dried or the wet hair is rubbed with a towel in this state, the hair is damaged. If a dryer is used, such a problem can be avoided, but there are cases where the dryer cannot be used, for example, when the child is busy with child-raising. Some people find it troublesome to use a dryer.

  According to the water absorbent body for hair 1 of the present embodiment, it can be easily worn even when busy, and can absorb moisture without rubbing and damaging the hair. When it is desired to use a dryer, it is possible to use such a method that the hair absorbent body 1 is worn until a sufficient time is reached or the hair is appropriately dried.

In the state of use shown in FIG. 3, the hair absorbent body 1 for hair is mainly pressed by the elastic force of the rubber 12, thereby absorbing the moisture of the hair. However, some people want to absorb more moisture. In order to absorb moisture, it is conceivable to apply a force for pressing the hair with the towel cloth 11. Hereinafter, a modified example in which a separate configuration is added to the basic configuration of FIG. 1 so that the hair can be further pressed by the towel cloth 11 will be described. The following explanation
The same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a first modification of the hair absorbent body 1.

The button 31 on each side surface is used in combination with a ring 32 on the same side surface, and is for fixing a state where the upper end U is bent toward the lower end D. In addition, these buttons 31 and the ring | wheel 32 are corresponded to an example of the fixing tool of this invention. Hereinafter, a usage example of the second modification will be described.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which the second modification of the hair absorbent body 1 shown in FIG. 6 is used.

  FIG. 7A shows a state in which the second modification is used as seen from the side. In this figure, the upper end U of the hair absorbent body 1 is pulled toward the lower end D (see the arrow in the figure), and this tension is maintained by hooking the ring 32 on the side to the button 31 on the same side. Yes. By this tension, the towel cloth 11 holds the hair and can absorb water effectively compared to the case where the button 31 and the ring 32 are not provided.

FIG. 7B shows a state in which the second modification is used as seen from the back. This figure shows a state in which the hair absorbent body 1 is pulled left and right by hooking a ring 32 on the button 31 on each of the left and right sides (see arrows in the figure). this
The tension generates a force for pressing the hair passed through the hair absorbent body 1 for hair, so that the moisture of the hair can be absorbed. Note that, as in the first modification shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of buttons 31 or rings 32 may be provided so that the tension can be adjusted by combining them. Further, the button 31 may be decorated like a brooch to improve the design. That is, a decorative body may be provided.

  FIG. 8 is a view showing a third modification of the hair absorbent body 1.

  FIG. 8A shows a state of the third modification viewed from the front, and FIG. 8B illustrates a state of the third modification viewed from the back. Yes. This figure shows a state in which a weight 41 is added to the basic configuration. The weight 41 is provided so as to go around the edge of the upper end U, and when the upper end U is bent toward the lower end D, the upper end U is tensioned by its weight. The weight 41 corresponds to an example of the weight of the present invention. Hereinafter, a usage example of the third modification will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the third modification of the hair absorbent body 1 is used. In the third modification shown here, a modification using a star-shaped weight 42 (corresponding to an example of the weight of the present invention) connected to the upper end U instead of the weight 41 that goes around the edge of the upper end U is used. An example will be described.

  FIG. 9A shows a state where the third modification is used as viewed from the side, and FIG. 9B shows the state shown in FIG. The situation is shown. In this figure, the upper end U of the hair absorbent body 1 is pulled toward the lower end D by the weight of the star-shaped weight 42 (see the arrow in the figure). This tension generates a force for the towel cloth 11 to hold the hair, so that water can be absorbed effectively compared to the case where the weight 42 is not provided. Furthermore, this third modification can be mounted with the same effort as when there is no weight 42. A plurality of star-shaped weights 42 may be prepared so that they can be replaced according to the quality of the hair, the amount of hair, and the like. In addition to the star shape, weights of various shapes may be replaced to improve design.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a fourth modification of the hair absorbent body 1 for hair.

  FIG. 10A shows a state in which the fourth modification is viewed from the front, and FIG. 10B shows a state in which the fourth modification is viewed from the right side. ing. This figure shows a state in which a band 51 is added to the basic configuration. Both ends of the band 51 are fixed on the side surfaces of the lower end D so that the band 51 can move back and forth when covered with the head. When the upper end U is sandwiched in the gap between the band 51 and the outer peripheral surface of the towel cloth 11, a force for pressing the hair can be generated. The band 51 corresponds to an example of the band member of the present invention. Hereinafter, a usage example of the fourth modification will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the fourth modification of the hair absorbent body 1 is used. FIG. 11A shows a state in which the fourth modification is used as viewed from the side, and FIG. 11B shows the state shown in FIG. The situation is shown. In this figure, the upper end U of the hair absorbent body 1 is sandwiched between the outer peripheral surface of the towel cloth 11 by a band 51. Since the force for sandwiching the hair causes a force for the hair absorbent body 1 to hold down the hair, water can be absorbed more effectively than when the band 51 is not used. In addition, it is only necessary to move the band 51 back and forth when releasing the pinching.

The band 51 is made of rubber and can be sandwiched by its elastic force. In addition to this, for example, rubber having stronger elasticity or cloth having no elasticity may be used as the band 51, and these may be changed according to the user. Also,
By decorating the band 51, for example, in the shape of a ribbon, it is possible to provide the hair absorbent body 1 having excellent design. This band 51 can also be used in combination with the third modification. That is, the state where tension is generated by the weight can be fixed by the band 51. The band 51 may not move back and forth.

  The usage example of the above-described modification is merely an example, and the direction of covering the water absorbent body 1 for hair may be adjusted according to the user's hairstyle and the position to be fixed according to the direction may be appropriately changed.
