Description

  The present invention relates to a hair applicator for facilitating partial application of hair cosmetics.

  Conventionally, a coloring method (so-called mesh) is known in which hair is partially dyed and accented, and various applicators for easily performing such partial hair dyeing have been studied.

For example, there has been proposed an applicator for applying a hair cosmetic to the hair bundle in a state where only the hair bundle of the portion to be dyed is separated. Patent Document 1 discloses a color changing nozzle in which a pair of opening grooves is formed at the tip of a cylindrical nozzle body that serves as a flow path for a color agent (hair cosmetic). This nozzle for color change is used in a state of being connected to a color agent filling container. Specifically, first, the hair bundle is inserted into the tip of the nozzle body by separating only the hair bundle of the part to be dyed and passing the root through the opening groove. Then, the color changing nozzle is moved from the root of the hair bundle toward the end while discharging the color agent in the filling container from the tip of the nozzle body in an appropriate amount. Thereby, the color agent can be applied from the root to the end of the hair bundle.
JP-A-10-290712

However, the configuration described in Patent Document 1 has a problem that it lacks convenience in that the work of separating hair bundles must first be performed.
The present invention has been made in view of these problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hair applicator capable of easily performing partial application of hair cosmetics.

  The hair applicator according to claim 1 of the present invention, which has been made to achieve the above object, includes a coating roller that is rotatably provided and accommodates a hair cosmetic (for example, a hair dye or a decoloring agent). The hair cosmetic is supplied from the container to the application roller. In this hair applicator, the application roller forms a side wall that prevents the supplied hair cosmetic material from spreading to both sides in the rotation axis direction.

  In the hair applicator having such a configuration, the hair cosmetic is applied to the hair by supplying the hair cosmetic from the container to the application roller and rolling the application roller on the hair. At this time, since the hair cosmetic supplied to the application roller is prevented from spreading to both sides in the rotation axis direction by the side wall formed by the application roller, the hair cosmetic is applied with a substantially constant width along the rolling direction of the roller. Therefore, partial application of the hair cosmetic can be performed without performing an operation of separating the hair bundle. Further, since the hair cosmetic is not directly supplied to the hair but is once supplied to the application roller, it is possible to make it difficult to cause unevenness in the coating amount of the hair cosmetic.

  By the way, it is conceivable to supply the hair cosmetic from the container to the application roller by, for example, discharging the hair cosmetic from the outside of the application roller toward the application roller. However, in such a configuration, when the hair cosmetic is discharged from a position away from the application roller, it is difficult to supply the hair cosmetic to a desired position. On the other hand, when the hair cosmetic is discharged from a position close to the application roller, it is conceivable that the rotational movement of the hair cosmetic supplied to the application roller is hindered by the discharging member.

Accordingly, the hair applicator according to claim 1 includes a hollow shaft member in which an outflow hole for allowing the hair cosmetic material that has flowed into the interior to flow to the outside is formed, and hair makeup from the container to the inside of the shaft member. And a flow path member that forms a flow path for supplying the material. Moreover, in this hair applicator, the application roller forms a side wall that is supported by the shaft member in a rotatable state and prevents the hair cosmetic flowing out from the outflow hole from spreading to one side and the other side in the rotation axis direction. It is comprised from the 1st roller member and the 2nd roller member.

  In the hair applicator configured as described above, the hair cosmetic contained in the container flows out from the outflow hole formed in the shaft member that pivotally supports the first roller member and the second roller member. For this reason, hair cosmetics can be reliably supplied to the position between the 1st roller member and the 2nd roller member, without preventing the rotational movement accompanying the application roller of hair cosmetics. Note that such a configuration is not limited to the configuration having two roller members, and even a configuration including three or more roller members can be used as long as the configuration described in the claims is provided. It goes without saying that it is included in the scope of the invention.

Furthermore, as described in claim 2 , if at least one of the first roller member and the second roller member is configured to be capable of adjusting the position in the rotation axis direction with respect to the shaft member, the application width of the hair cosmetic material Can be adjusted easily.

On the other hand, the hair applicator according to claim 3 is the hair applicator according to claim 1 or 2 , further comprising a compression means for compressing the container using the rotational force applied to the application roller.
In addition, the hair applicator according to claim 4 includes an applicator roller provided rotatably, and the hair applicator is applied to the applicator roller from a container in which the hair cosmetic (for example, a hair dye or a decolorizing agent) is contained. It is comprised so that it may supply. And this applicator for hair is provided with the compression means which compresses a container using the rotational force added to an application roller. Moreover, in this hair applicator, the application roller forms a side wall that prevents the supplied hair cosmetic from spreading to both sides in the rotational axis direction.
For this reason, in the hair applicator according to claim 3 or 4, if a container (for example, a tube container) from which the hair cosmetic is discharged by pressing is used, only the operation of rolling the application roller on the hair is performed. The hair cosmetics can be simultaneously supplied from the container to the application roller.

  Specifically, as described in claim 5, for example, the compression means is a linear member that is wound with the rotation of the coating roller, and is fixed to the linear member, and the linear member is wound. And a compression member that compresses the container by movement. According to such a structure, hair cosmetics can be supplied with the stable supply amount according to the rotation amount of the application roller.

  Further, for example, as described in claim 6, the compression means includes a linear member or an endless track member that moves in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis direction as the coating roller rotates, and a linear member or an endless track member. A compression member that is fixed and that compresses the container by movement associated with the movement of the linear member or the endless track member may be used. Even with such a configuration, the hair cosmetic can be supplied in a stable supply amount according to the rotation amount of the application roller.

Embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings.
Drawing 1 is an outline view of applicator 10 for hair of a 1st embodiment, (a) is a side view and (b) is a front view.

  As shown in the figure, the hair applicator 10 is composed mainly of an apparatus main body 11 held by a user. In addition to the apparatus main body 11, a fixed shaft member 12, an insertion member 13, The tube 14 and the two roller members 15 and 15 are provided.

  The apparatus main body 11 is a resin member having a plate shape with a narrow central width in the longitudinal direction and a curved shape in an arc shape when viewed from the side. Further, the apparatus main body 11 discharges the contents (hair dye) from the discharge nozzle 16b by pressing the flexible body 16a in the squeeze container in which the liquid hair dye is accommodated. (Resin squeeze container 16) configured to be mounted and fixed. Although a specific configuration for mounting and fixing the squeeze container 16 is not shown, the configuration is not limited to a specific configuration, and a known configuration (such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a belt) can be used. .

  The fixed shaft member 12 is a cylindrical resin member, and is fixed to the tip of the apparatus main body 11. Specifically, the tip of the device body 11 has a bifurcated shape, and both end portions of the fixed shaft member 12 are fixed to the tip portions 11 a and 11 a of the device body 11. Further, the fixed shaft member 12 has an outflow hole 12a communicating with the inside and outside at the axial center position, and an inflow hole communicating with the inside and outside at one end position (right side in the drawing in the drawing) (hidden by the insertion member 13). Is formed). In addition, the outflow hole 12a is formed in the position (position which faced the front end side of the apparatus main body 11) which faces upwards at the time of use of this hair applicator 10 (refer FIG. 3).

  The insertion member 13 is a tubular resin member, and has an outer peripheral shape in which the tube 14 is liquid-tightly connected and fixed by being inserted into one end of the tube 14. In addition, the insertion member 13 has one end fixed to the fixed shaft member 12 in communication with the inflow hole formed in the fixed shaft member 12, and the hair dye that has flowed in from the other end is outflow hole of the fixed shaft member 12. It is configured to be supplied between the roller members 15 and 15 through 12a (see FIG. 2).

  The tube 14 is a flexible long tubular resin member. One end of the tube 14 is liquid-tightly connected to the insertion member 13 through the through hole 11b formed in the apparatus main body 11, and the other end is connected to the tube 14. The discharge nozzle 16b of the squeeze container 16 is connected in a liquid-tight manner. The tube 14 forms a flow path for supplying the hair dye from the squeeze container 16 to the inside of the fixed shaft member 12 together with the insertion member 13 in such a connected state.

  Each roller member 15 is a disk-shaped resin member whose thickness increases toward the center of the circle, and the fixed shaft member 12 is passed through a circular through-hole formed at the center position, and is rotatable. And it is pivotally supported in a state where the position in the direction of the rotation axis can be adjusted. In addition, each roller member 15 is used in the state (state of FIG.1 (b)) arrange | positioned so that the outflow hole 12a formed in the fixed shaft member 12 may be pinched | interposed from the both sides.

  With the above configuration, when the body portion 16a of the squeeze container 16 is pressed, the hair dye stored in the squeeze container 16 is discharged from the discharge nozzle 16b, and the flow path formed by the tube 14 and the insertion member 13 is passed. It flows into the inside of the fixed shaft member 12 through. And it is supplied between the roller members 15 and 15 from the outflow hole 12a of the fixed shaft member 12. In this state, the roller members 15 and 15 are rolled on the hair as shown in FIG. 3, so that the hair dye between the roller members 15 and 15 moves along the outer peripheral surface of the fixed shaft member 12 with the rotation. Applied in contact with the hair. At this time, since the roller members 15 and 15 also function as side walls that prevent the hair dye from spreading to both sides in the rotation axis direction, the hair dye has a substantially constant width according to the interval between the roller members 15 and 15. Applied. Therefore, according to the hair applicator 10 of the first embodiment, partial hair dyeing can be performed without performing the work of separating the hair bundle. Moreover, since it is not the structure which supplies hair dye directly to hair but the structure which supplies between roller members 15 and 15 once, it can make it difficult to produce the nonuniformity in the coating amount of hair dye. Particularly, in the hair applicator 10 of the first embodiment, each roller member 15 is configured to be able to adjust the position in the rotation axis direction with respect to the fixed shaft member 12, so that the application width of the hair dye can be simplified. Can be adjusted.

  In the hair applicator 10 of the first embodiment, the hair dye supply path from the squeeze container 16 to the inside of the fixed shaft member 12 is formed by the tube 14 and the insertion member 13. It is not limited. For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which a hair dye supply path is formed inside the apparatus main body 11.

Next, the hair applicator 20 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated.
FIG. 4 is an external view (front view) of the hair applicator 20 of the second embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the hair applicator 20 is composed mainly of a resin device main body 21 held by a user. In addition to the device main body 21, a rotary shaft member 22 and 2 Two roller members 23 and 23 and a tube squeezer 24 are provided.

  The apparatus main body 21 is a resin member having a plate shape with a narrow central width in the longitudinal direction and curved in an arc shape when viewed from the side. Further, the apparatus main body 21 has a tube container 25 in which a cream-like hair dye is accommodated in a state where the discharge part 25a faces the roller members 23, 23 (the hair dye discharged from the discharge part 25a is a roller. It is configured so that it can be mounted and fixed in a state of being supplied between the members 23 and 23. Although a specific configuration for mounting and fixing the tube container 25 is not illustrated, the configuration is not limited to a specific configuration, and a known configuration (such as a hook-and-loop fastener or a belt) can be used. .

  The rotary shaft member 22 is a cylindrical resin member, and is supported in a rotatable state at the tip of the apparatus main body 21. Specifically, the distal end portion of the apparatus main body 21 has a bifurcated shape, and both end portions of the rotating shaft member 22 are pivotally supported by the respective distal end portions 21a and 21a of the apparatus main body 21 in a rotatable state. Yes.

  Each roller member 23 is a disk-shaped resin member whose thickness increases toward the center of the circle, and is fixed to the rotary shaft member 22 that passes through the center position, and rotates integrally with the rotary shaft member 22. To do.

The tube squeezer 24 includes a squeezing member 24a and two wires 24b and 24b.
The throttle member 24a is a resin member in which a slit into which the rear end portion of the tube container 25 can be inserted is formed, and the tube container 25 is moved by movement from the rear end portion of the tube container 25 to the front end portion (discharge portion 25a side). For squeezing out the hair dye contained therein.

  One end of each wire 24b is fixed to both ends of the throttle member 24a, and the other end is fixed to both ends of the rotary shaft member 22, respectively. For this reason, each wire 24 b is wound around the rotating shaft member 22 as the rotating shaft member 22 rotates.

  With the configuration described above, when the roller members 23 and 23 are rolled on the hair, the rotary shaft member 22 rotates together with the roller members 23 and 23, and each wire 24 b of the tube squeezer 24 is wound around the rotary shaft member 22. . Thereby, the squeezing member 24a of the tube squeezer 24 moves from the rear end portion of the tube container 25 toward the tip end portion, and the hair dye contained in the tube container 25 is squeezed out. As a result, the hair dye is supplied from the discharge part 25a of the tube container 25 to between the roller members 23, 23, and the supplied hair dye moves along with the rotation of the roller members 23, 23 and the rotary shaft member 22, and the hair It is applied in contact with. At this time, since the roller members 23 and 23 also function as side walls that prevent the hair dye from spreading to both sides in the rotation axis direction, the hair dye has a substantially constant width corresponding to the distance between the roller members 23 and 23. Applied. Therefore, even with the hair applicator 20 of the second embodiment, partial hair dyeing can be performed without performing the operation of separating the hair bundle. In addition, since the hair dye is not directly supplied to the hair but is once supplied between the roller members 23, 23, it is possible to prevent unevenness in the amount of the hair dye applied. In particular, according to the hair applicator 20 of the second embodiment, it is possible to supply hair cosmetics from the tube container 25 to the roller members 23 and 23 only by rolling the roller members 23 and 23 on the hair. Since it can be performed simultaneously, it is highly convenient. Moreover, the hair dye can be supplied with a stable supply amount according to the rotation amount of the roller members 23 and 23.

  In the hair applicator 20 of the second embodiment, the hair dye is directly supplied between the tube container 25 and the roller members 23, 23, but the present invention is not limited to this. It is good also as a structure supplied through a tube similarly to the applicator 10 for hair of embodiment.

  Moreover, in the hair applicator 20 of the said 2nd Embodiment, although the structure which supplies a hair dye from the tube container 25 was illustrated, the container which accommodates a hair dye is not limited to a tube container. For example, instead of the tube container 25, as shown in FIG. 5, a syringe 26 (the main body portion is shown in a sectional view) can be used. That is, the apparatus main body 21 is a state in which the syringe 26 in which the cream-like hair dye is stored is in a state in which the discharge portion 26a faces the roller members 23, 23 (the hair dye discharged from the discharge portion 26a is the roller member). 23 and 23). Then, the two wires 24b and 24b as described above are fixed to the piston 26b of the syringe 26 in place of the throttle member 24a.

  With the configuration described above, when the roller members 23 and 23 are rolled on the hair, the rotary shaft member 22 rotates together with the roller members 23 and 23, and each wire 24 b of the tube squeezer 24 is wound around the rotary shaft member 22. . As a result, the piston 26b of the syringe 26 moves from the rear end portion of the syringe 26 toward the front end portion, and the hair dye contained in the syringe 26 is squeezed out. As a result, the hair dye is supplied from the discharge part 26a of the syringe 26 to between the roller members 23 and 23, and the supplied hair dye moves along with the rotation of the roller members 23 and 23 and the rotary shaft member 22 to the hair. Applied in contact. Therefore, the same effect as the hair applicator 20 of the second embodiment can be obtained.

  On the other hand, the hair applicator 20 illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 employs a configuration in which the wires 24b and 24b are wound around the rotary shaft member 22 as the rotary shaft member 22 rotates, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It is not something. That is, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the wire is moved in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis direction of the rotation shaft member 22 without winding the wire as the rotation shaft member 22 rotates. For example, in the configuration of FIG. 5, instead of the configuration in which the wires 24 b and 24 b are wound, a ring-shaped (endless track) wire is rotated.

  Specifically, the hair applicator 20 shown in FIG. 6 includes a rotating shaft member 22 that is supported so as to rotate integrally with the roller member 23 at the distal end of the apparatus main body 21, and the end (rotation) of the apparatus main body 21. A columnar driven member 27 is provided which is rotatably supported at the end opposite to the end on which the shaft member 22 is supported. The driven member 27 rotates about a rotation axis parallel to the rotation shaft member 22.

  In the hair applicator 20, an endless wire 28 is bridged between the rotary shaft member 22 and the driven member 27. The wire 28 rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft member 22 and moves in a direction orthogonal to the rotating shaft direction. On the other hand, the driven member 27 rotates as the wire 28 rotates. The wire 28 is provided so as to penetrate the syringe 26, and a part of the wire 28 is fixed to the piston 26 b of the syringe 26. Accordingly, the piston 26b moves as the wire 28 moves.

  With the above configuration, when the roller member 23 is rolled on the hair, the rotary shaft member 22 rotates together with the roller member 23, and the wire 28 rotates and moves. As a result, the piston 26b of the syringe 26 moves from the rear end portion of the syringe 26 toward the front end portion, and the hair dye contained in the syringe 26 is squeezed out. As a result, the hair dye is supplied from the discharge part 26a of the syringe 26 to the roller member 23. The supplied hair dye moves along with the rotation of the roller member 23 and the rotary shaft member 22, and is applied in contact with the hair. The Therefore, the same effect as the hair applicator 20 of the second embodiment can be obtained.

As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, it cannot be overemphasized that this invention can take a various form.
For example, in each of the embodiments described above, the configuration including the two roller members 15 and 15 (23, 23) is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, various shapes can be used as long as they form a side wall that prevents the supplied hair cosmetic (the hair dye in each of the above embodiments) from spreading on both sides in the rotational axis direction. Specifically, it may be a single roller member in which a groove is formed at the central position in the rotational axis direction along the rotational direction. It is also possible to adopt a configuration including three or more roller members (for example, a configuration including two roller members on the left and right).

  On the other hand, in each of the above-described embodiments, the configuration including the apparatus main body 11 (21) held by the user is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a configuration (a roller member or a member for pivotally supporting the roller member in a rotatable state) is directly attached to the hair dye container, and the container is used as the grip portion, excluding the grip portion. Is also possible.
