Description

  The present invention relates to a hair enveloping body and a hair drying method used for drying wet hair.

Conventionally, what was described in the following patent documents 1 and 2 is known as this kind of hair enveloping body. Since the hair enveloping bodies disclosed in both documents have the same configuration, the hair encapsulating body described in Patent Document 1 is shown in FIG. The illustrated hair enveloping body 51 includes a tubular fabric body 52 that has water absorption and is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a first locking portion provided on a peripheral edge portion 54 of a covering opening 53 on one end side of the tubular fabric body 52. 57 and a second locking portion 58 provided at a position parallel to the cylindrical center C of the tubular fabric body 52 with respect to the first locking portion 57 at the peripheral edge portion 56 of the tube end opening 55 on the opposite side. I have. The 1st latching | locking part 57 and the 2nd latching | locking part 58 are engaged so that engagement / disengagement is possible.
In use, the hair enveloping body 51 is covered from the head and lowered to the neck, then the hair is accommodated in the tubular fabric body 52 and the covering mouth 53 is raised to the forehead position. Next, the tube end opening 55 side of the tubular fabric main body 52 is folded forward together with the stored hair, and the second locking portion 58 is locked to the first locking portion 57 in a state where the tubular fabric main body 52 is folded back. It is described. Then, it is left as it is to absorb moisture from the hair. In addition, in the thing of patent document 2, the tubular cloth main body 52 whole is made to have a stretching property by inserting a rubber thread over the whole surface of the tubular cloth main body 52.

JP 2010-167273 A Utility Model Registration No. 3149265

However, in the hair enveloping body described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since the second locking portion 58 is carried in the direction of the cylinder core C as it is and locked to the first locking portion 57, the tubular cloth body 52 is merely folded back in the direction of the cylinder center C. Therefore, there is a gap between the stored hair and the fabric in the tubular fabric body 52, and the entire hair is not in close contact with the fabric. In particular, since the portion close to the covering opening 53 in the tubular fabric main body 52 is wide, the hair becomes rough at that portion. Therefore, there is a problem that the amount of water absorbed from the hair is small and the hair is difficult to dry even if left for a long time.
On the other hand, in the hair enveloping body described in Patent Document 2, a tubular knitted fabric knitted by a circular knitting machine is once cut open to form a flat knitted fabric, and rubber yarn is knitted into this to give stretchability, and then sewing is performed. As a result, the cylindrical tubular fabric body is used again, which requires time and labor for manufacturing.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems, and uses a hair enveloping body that can efficiently absorb water from the hair stored in the tube cloth body and quickly dry the hair. The purpose is to provide a hair drying method.

  In order to achieve the above object, a hair enveloping body according to the present invention comprises a tubular fabric body that is formed into a tubular shape by knitting or weaving a water-absorbing yarn and accommodates the hair, and a covering opening of the tubular fabric body. Two first locking portions provided at positions spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the peripheral edge portion, and the first locking portion provided at a position spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the tube end portion on the opposite side to the cover opening. Two second locking portions that are detachably engaged, and each of the second locking portions is in a position inclined with respect to the second locking portion from the tube center of the tubular fabric body. It is configured to engage with a certain first locking portion.

  Moreover, the said structure WHEREIN: Each 1st latching | locking part or each 2nd latching | locking part is provided with two or more along the circumferential direction of a tubular fabric main body.

  And in each above-mentioned structure, the thread | yarn which comprises a tubular fabric main body contains the tension fiber.

  Furthermore, the hair drying method according to the present invention is a method of drying hair by using a tubular cloth body having a tubular end opening at both ends of the tubular body of the hair enveloping body, and inserting the human head through the covering mouth to form the tubular cloth A covering step for placing the entire main body at a lower position than the forehead part, and pulling up the tube end opening on the side opposite to the covering opening to accommodate the hair in the tubular cloth body and the covering opening to the position of the forehead part The hair holding step for pulling up, the tube cloth main body twisting step for twisting the tube cloth main body together with the stored hair, and the second cloth locking member in the state where the tube cloth main body is twisted, And an engaging step for engaging with each first locking portion in a diagonal position.

  According to the hair enveloping body which concerns on this invention, each 2nd latching | locking part is engaged with the 1st latching | locking part in the position of the direction inclined from the cylinder center of the tubular fabric main body with respect to the said 2nd latching | locking part. Therefore, the tubular fabric body is held in a twisted state together with the stored hair. Thereby, a gap | interval is not produced between the fabric of the inner surface of a cylindrical cloth main body, and the hair, but a head hair can be closely_contact | adhered to the fabric which has water absorption. Moreover, since the tube end part of the twisted tubular cloth main body is locked at two places on the covering mouth side, the twisted state of the tubular cloth main body is not unwound, and the twisted state can be maintained. As a result, a large amount of water can be efficiently absorbed from the hair, and the hair can be dried quickly.

  In addition, in the case where a plurality of the first locking portions or the second locking portions are provided along the circumferential direction of the tubular fabric body, the second locking portions are located on the first locking portions at different positions in the circumferential direction. Since the stop portion can be locked, the degree of twisting of the tubular fabric body can be changed to change the close contact state with the hair, and the desired water absorption ability and comfort can be obtained.

  And when the thread | yarn which comprises a tubular fabric main body contains the suspension fiber, the tubular fabric main body which has high elasticity can be obtained. Thereby, the operation | work which knits a rubber thread over the whole cylinder cloth main body is not required, and a cylinder cloth main body can be manufactured easily.

  Furthermore, according to the hair drying method according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly dry the hair by absorbing a large amount of water by a simple operation in which the tubular fabric body is twisted together with the stored hair and then locked at two locations. .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The embodiment described below is merely an example embodying the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of a hair enveloping body according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view of the hair enveloping body, and FIG. 3 is an external view of the hair enveloping body viewed from the rear.
In each figure, the hair enveloping body 1 which concerns on this embodiment is each in the vicinity of the peripheral part 4 of the covering cloth body 2 formed in the cylinder shape, and the covering mouth 3 which is one cylinder end opening of the tubular cloth main body 2. The first locking portions 9, 10 provided and the second locking portion 11 provided in the vicinity of the peripheral edge 6 in the tube end opening 5 (an example of the tube end portion on the opposite side) opposite to the cover port 3. , 12 and a rubber thread 17 knitted over the entire circumference in the vicinity of the peripheral edge 4 of the tubular fabric body 2.

  The inner diameter of the tube end opening 5 is made larger than the inner diameter of the cover port 3. That is, the tubular fabric body 2 is formed in a divergent shape that becomes wider as it approaches the tubular end opening 5. Further, the peripheral edge 4 of the cover 3 has an inner circumference that is about the same as the outer circumference of the human head E, and the rubber thread 17 is attached so that the peripheral edge 4 of the cover 3 is tightly adhered to the circumference of the human head E. Has elastic force. A ribbon decoration 8 made of, for example, the same material as the tubular cloth body 2 is attached to the lower front portion of the tubular cloth body 2.

  The tubular fabric body 2 is knitted by, for example, a circular knitting machine using a water-absorbing yarn 18 as a raw material. The yarn 18 is composed of polyethylene fibers 15 that are microfibers having extremely high water absorption and appropriate stretchability, and suspended fibers 16 (for example, spandex = polyurethane elastic fiber) having high stretchability. These polyethylene fibers 15 and the suspended fibers 16 are used together for knitting after being put together in a tensioned state. The suspended fiber 16 is obtained by, for example, winding a remaining part by weight of a polyethylene fiber around 10 to 15 parts by weight of a polyurethane fiber and subjecting the fiber to a tensioning process.

And in this example, the 1st latching | locking part 9 is comprised by the button, for example, and it is attached to the back side from the right end part 4A of the peripheral part 4 a little. The 1st latching | locking part 10 is also comprised, for example with the button, and is attached to the back side from the left end part 4B of the peripheral part 4 a little. On the other hand, the 2nd latching | locking part 11 is comprised by the button hole, for example, and is attached to the front side from the right end part 6A of the peripheral part 6 a little. The 2nd latching | locking part 12 is also comprised, for example by the button hole, and is attached to the front side from the left end part 6B of the peripheral part 6 a little.
Moreover, the 2nd latching | locking part 11 is the 1st latching | locking part in the diagonal position (namely, the position of the direction inclined from the cylinder center C of the tubular fabric main body 2 with respect to the 2nd latching | locking part 11) diagonally lower left. 10 is configured to be detachably engaged. The second locking portion 12 is diagonally below and to the right (that is, a position in a direction inclined from the cylindrical center C of the tubular fabric body 2 with respect to the second locking portion 12) and the first locking portion 9 It is configured to engage and disengage.

Next, a method for drying hair using the hair enveloping body 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the hair enveloping body 1 is held over the human head E of the user (1). Then, the user inserts the human head E into the tubular cloth main body 2 through the cover 3 and pulls down the entire tubular cloth main body 2 to, for example, the human neck as indicated by an arrow D in FIG. In this case, if the entire tubular fabric body 2 is arranged at a position lower than the human forehead portion H, the hair J can be pulled out from the tubular end opening 5 (covering step (2)).

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4C, the user pulls the cylinder end opening 5 on the side opposite to the cover 3 upward and pulls it backward (arrow K). Thereby, the hair J is accommodated in the tubular fabric body 2. Since the tubular fabric body 2 in the vicinity of the tubular end opening 5 is wide, the hair J is spread in the tubular fabric body 2 so as to touch the fabric in the tubular fabric body 2 as much as possible. If the hair J is long, the head of the hair J is once pulled out from the tube end opening 5 and then the hair J that is contained in the tube cloth body 2 is spread out. After that, it is preferable that all of the hair J that is outside is stored in the tubular cloth body 2 from the tubular end opening 5. Thereafter, the tubular fabric body 2 is pulled up so that the cover 3 comes to the position of the person's forehead H (hair accommodation step (3)). At this time, the peripheral edge 4 of the cover 3 is held around the human head E by the elastic force of the rubber thread 17 so as not to hurt the person. Such a holding force of the peripheral edge portion 4 stabilizes the tubular fabric body 2 when performing the twisting operation of the tubular fabric body 2 and the engaging operation of the second locking portion to the first locking portion, which will be described later. Helps to hold.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the user twists the tubular fabric body 2 about the tubular center C together with the hair J accommodated in the tubular fabric body 2 (tubular fabric body). Twist step (4)). For example, the right end 6A of the peripheral edge 6 is twisted as indicated by an arrow M, and the left end 6B is twisted as indicated by an arrow L. As a result, the hair J in the tubular fabric body 2 adheres to the highly water-absorbing polyester fiber 15 over a wide area. Here, an example in which the right end portion 6A and the left end portion 6B are twisted approximately half a turn has been shown, but depending on the relationship between the width in the peripheral edge portion 6 of the tubular fabric body 2 and the amount of hair of the user, it may be twisted one or more turns. Is possible.

Subsequently, as shown in FIGS. 6A, 6 </ b> B, and 6 </ b> C, the user inserts the second locking portion 11 into the first locking portion 10 while twisting the tubular fabric body 2. The second locking portion 12 is fitted into the first locking portion 9 and engaged (engagement step (5)). In other words, the second locking portions 11 and 12 are respectively locked to the first locking portions 10 and 9 that are at the upper, lower, left, and right diagonal positions with respect to the second locking portions 11 and 12.
Then, until a large amount of water is sucked out from the hair J, the hair enveloping body 1 is left in the state shown in FIG. In this case, the tubular fabric body 2 has the stretched fibers 16 disposed on a part of the thread 18 and has high stretchability. Therefore, the stored hair J is tightened by the elastic force of the tubular fabric body 2 as a whole. It is firmly attached to the fabric as it is. Therefore, high water absorption is maintained for a long time.

  Thereafter, the user removes the second locking portion 12 from the first locking portion 9 and removes the second locking portion 11 from the first locking portion 10 when the moisture in the hair J has decreased. Then, the tubular fabric body 2 is released from the twisted state. Therefore, the user pulls the vicinity of the tube end opening 5 to remove the hair enveloping body 1 from the human head E.

  As described above, according to the hair enveloping body 1 of this embodiment, the peripheral edge 6 of the tube end opening 5 of the tubular fabric body 2 is widely formed. It is possible to widen a wide contact area and twist the tubular fabric body 2 with a margin. On the other hand, in the twisted state, there is no gap between the fabric on the inner surface of the tubular fabric body 2 and the hair J, and the hair J can be adhered to the fabric made of yarn 18 containing microfibers over a wide area. . Further, since the peripheral edge portion 6 of the tube end opening 5 of the twisted tubular fabric body 2 is locked at two places on the covering mouth 3 side, the twisted state is prolonged without unwinding the twisted tubular fabric body 2. Can be held over time. As a result, a large amount of water in the hair J can be efficiently absorbed and dried quickly. And since the thread | yarn 18 contains the tension fiber 16 and its elasticity is high, the cylinder fabric main body 2 is formed in the fluffy and bulky form, and the touch is very good. Further, due to the high stretchability, it is difficult for the human head E wearing the tubular cloth body 2 to come off. Incidentally, in the normal use mode, the covered tubular fabric body 2 does not fall off the human head E without using the rubber thread 17 sewn in the vicinity of the cover 3. In addition, the tubular fabric body 2 can be easily manufactured by a circular knitting machine or the like and has a good process design.

In addition, in said embodiment, although the example provided in the edge part on either side was shown, the hair enveloping body of this invention is not limited to it. For example, another first locking portion 9A may be provided at a spaced position behind the first locking portion 9 (in the direction of arrow P) as in the hair enveloping body 1a shown in FIG. And it is also possible to provide another 1st latching | locking part 9B in the separation position of the back of 9 A of 1st latching | locking parts. The same applies to the case where the first locking portion 10A and the first locking portion 10B are provided at a position behind the first locking portion 10 (in the direction of arrow Q). That is, a plurality of the first locking portions of the present invention are provided along the circumferential direction of the tubular fabric body.
By comprising in this way, the stop position of the 2nd latching | locking parts 11 and 12 can be changed. As a result, since the twist degree of the tubular fabric body 2 can be changed, it is possible to select a water absorption amount corresponding to the user's preference and the amount of hair. However, although not shown, the first locking portion of the present invention may be arranged on the front side (the direction opposite to the arrows P and Q) from the first locking portions 9 and 10 described above.

In the above description, the button hole is illustrated as the second locking portion. However, the head can be engaged and disengaged with the button instead of the second locking portions 11 and 12 as in the hair enveloping body 1b shown in FIG. It is also possible to use the second locking portions 11a and 12a made of a ring string that is hung on. The position where the second locking portion of the present invention is provided is behind the second locking portions 11, 12, 11a and 12a as long as the proper arrangement relationship with the first locking portion that can be twisted is not impaired. Alternatively, they may be spaced apart forward. That is, a plurality of second locking portions according to the present invention are provided along the circumferential direction of the tubular fabric body.
Furthermore, the 1st latching | locking part may be comprised with a button hole or a ring string, and the 2nd latching | locking part may be comprised with a button. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a combination of hook-shaped members and loop-shaped members of hook-and-loop fasteners, hook fittings and retaining rings, instead of buttons, button holes and ring strings.

In the above description, the tubular fabric body formed by knitting has been exemplified. However, in the present invention, it is also possible to use a tubular fabric body obtained by sewing a fabric obtained by weaving into a tubular shape.
In the above description, the cylindrical cloth body 2 having the cylindrical end openings 3 and 5 at both ends of the cylinder and one of which is the covering opening 3 is illustrated. However, the bottomed bag-shaped tubular cloth main body having only the covering opening is illustrated. Even if it exists, it is possible to apply this invention.
Furthermore, in the above, an example in which two combinations of the first locking portion and the second locking portion are provided is shown, but another first locking portion is provided at a position between the first locking portions 9 and 10. In addition, another second locking portion is provided at a position between the second locking portions 11 and 12 so that the other first locking portion and the second locking portion can be engaged and disengaged. You may make it match.
Moreover, although the example which formed the cylindrical cloth main body with the thread | yarn containing the polyester fiber which has high water absorption was shown above, the cylindrical cloth main body formed from cotton thread etc. is also included by this invention. .
