Therefore, in the state where no external force is applied to the operation portion 42, the contact / separation portion 41 is in press contact with the peripheral surface portion 31, and the gripping portion 2 is resisted against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 8. The contact / separation portion 41 is separated from the peripheral surface portion 31 by being rotated in a direction approaching to the peripheral surface portion 31.

  Next, the configuration of the ion emission parts 63 and 64 will be described in detail.

  The ion release parts 63 and 64 are configured to be able to release negative ions toward the hair, and in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, negative ions released from the ion release part 64 (63). The pressing plate 4 is positioned outside the discharge region R.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the ion emission parts 63 and 64 are based on a vertical plane that is below the axis L of the winding body 3 of the gripping part 2 and includes the axis L. The winding body part 3 is arranged between the presser plate 4 and the ion emission parts 63 and 64.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the ion emission part 63 (64) includes an ion generation part 63a (64a) that generates negative ions, and a cover part 63b (64b) that covers the ion generation part 63a (64a). Yes. The cover portion 63b (64b) has an ion emission port 63c (64c) that is provided at the tip portion and discharges negative ions generated by the ion generation portion 63a (64a) in the tip direction.

  The ion generator 63a (64a) includes a ground electrode and a needle electrode (not shown) and a high voltage generation circuit 65 (see FIG. 5) electrically connected to these electrodes. The ion generator 63a (64a) generates a large amount of negative ions by applying a high voltage with the ground electrode as a reference to the needle electrode and performing corona discharge on the needle electrode.

  And in the ion emission part 63 (64) of this embodiment, since the ground electrode is arrange | positioned in the ion emission opening 63c (64c) side rather than the needle electrode in which corona discharge is performed, the ion which goes to a ground electrode from a needle electrode A flow is generated, and negative ions are discharged from the ion discharge port 63c (64c) toward the tip by this ion flow. Note that a fan may be built in the ion emission unit 63 (64), and negative ions may be emitted from the ion emission port 63c (64c) by the wind force of the fan.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the ion discharge port 63 c (64 c) protrudes outward in the radial direction of the grip portion 2 in a state in which the discharge direction is inclined from the distal direction to the radial direction of the grip portion 2. It is provided so that most of the negative ions released from the ion release port 63c (64c) adhere to the hair.

  By configuring the ion emission part 63 (64) as described above, the upper end edge of the negative ion emission region R emitted from the ion emission port 63c (64c) is brought close to just below the lower end of the front end of the holding plate 4. The holding plate 4 can be easily positioned outside the negative ion emission region R.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the lower end part (refer M line of FIG. 4) of the cover part 63b (64b) is below the lower end part (refer N line of FIG. 4) of the lower half cylinder 6 of the holding part 2. Configured to be located. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 7, when the hair iron 1 is placed on the table 100, the ion emitting portions 63 and 64 can be brought into contact with the upper surface of the table 100. It can be placed on the table 100.

  In addition, a power cord 9 for supplying power to the heater 32 and the ion emission units 63 and 64 is connected to the proximal end portion of the grip portion 2.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the ion emitting portions 63 and 64 are provided in the grip portion 2 so that the holding plate 4 is positioned outside the negative ion emitting region R emitted from the ion emitting portions 63 and 64. Since the negative ions released from the ion emission parts 63 and 64 can be prevented from adhering to the holding plate 4 and being negatively charged, the negative ions released in the vicinity of the holding plate 4 can be prevented. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience such as being repelled by the pressing plate 4 and being flipped away. Thereby, a negative ion can be efficiently made to adhere to the hair pinched | interposed into the surrounding surface part 31 of the winding trunk | drum 3, and the pressing board 4. FIG.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the pressing plate 4 is brought into contact with and separated from a predetermined region above the axis L of the winding drum portion 3 of the peripheral surface portion 31, and the ion emitting portions 63 and 64 are By providing the winding body 3 below the axis L of the winding body 3 of the grip portion 2, the winding body 3 can be positioned between the pressing plate 4 and the ion emission parts 63 and 64. It is possible to sufficiently suppress the negative ions released from 63 and 64 from adhering to the holding plate 4.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the ion emission portions 63 and 64 are wound around the grip portion 2 such that the lower end portions of the ion emission portions 63 and 64 are located below the lower end portion of the grip portion 2. For example, when the hair iron 1 is placed on the table 100 by providing each at a symmetrical position with respect to the vertical plane including the axis L of the attached body 3, the base end portion of the grip 2 and a pair of ions Since the discharge parts 63 and 64 can be brought into contact with the upper surface of the table 100, the hair iron 1 can be stably placed on the table 100.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, since the user of the hair iron 1 becomes easy to transmit force to the holding part 2 by forming the holding part 2 in a substantially hexagonal column shape as described above, the operation of the hair iron 1 is performed. Can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the two ion emission parts 63 and 64 are provided in the grip part 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and one or three or more ion emission parts may be provided in the grip part 2. Good.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which the ion emission part 63 (64) is provided at the distal end portion of the gripping part 2 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the ion emission part 63 (64) You may provide in an edge part. In addition, the ion release portion 63 (64) is disposed at the distal end portion of the winding drum portion 3 (the portion between the winding drum portion 3 and the cap member 7), and the ion discharge port 63c (64c) is the base end. You may comprise so that it may face a direction. Further, the ion emission part 63 (64) may be provided at the tip part of the grip part 2 and the tip part of the winding body part 3. In this case, since negative ions can be attached to the hair sandwiched between the peripheral surface portion 31 and the pressing plate 4 of the winding body 3 from both sides in the distal direction and the proximal direction of the winding body 3, the hair Negative ions can be attached more efficiently as a whole.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 8, you may provide the three support parts 10 which protrude below in the base end part and the ion emission parts 63 and 64 of the lower half cylinder 6 of the holding part 2. As shown in FIG. If comprised in this way, as shown in FIG. 9, the hair iron 1 can be stably mounted on the base 100 in the state which made the three support parts 10 contact the upper surface of the base 100. FIG.

  Further, when the center of gravity of the hair iron 1 is located closer to the tip, as shown in FIG. 10, the ion release portions 63 and 64 of the grip portion 2 are provided with a support portion 10 that protrudes downward, and a cap member. What is necessary is just to provide the one support part 10 in the lower end of 7. FIG. Also in this case, as shown in FIG. 11, the hair iron 1 can be stably placed on the table 100 in a state where the three support portions 10 are in contact with the upper surface of the table 100.
