Description

  An embodiment of the present invention relates to a light hair dyeing device used for hair dyeing using light.

  BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as a method of dyeing hair, a technique of light hair dyeing using light has been developed. This light-dyeing technique involves applying a light-dyeing agent containing a specific substance (e.g., a silver salt) that reacts with light to form a color, and applying the light to sunlight or a fluorescent light to the hair to form the color. (See Patent Document 1). This light hair dyeing technique can be easily used at home and can be easily dyed because there is no need to wait for time or wash off after applying the hair dye to the hair.

  However, when exposed to sunlight or fluorescent light, it is difficult for the person trying to dye the hair to control the intensity of the light and from which direction the light is emitted, and the light irradiation state is not stable .

  Therefore, as a technique for providing a light hair dyeing device capable of light dyeing regardless of the state of illumination such as sunlight or a fluorescent light, a brush-shaped light hair dyeing device having a light emitting mechanism has been proposed (Patent Documents). 2).

JP 2008-69131 A JP 2012-55370 A

  In the device described in Patent Literature 2, the user must keep the brush fixed until hair dyeing at the place where the brush is applied is completed. Since the user performs the hair dyeing operation for a long time in a state where his / her hand is closed, the burden on the user is rather increased, and the original simplicity of the light hair dye is impaired.

  The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a light hair dyeing device that places less burden on a user.

The light hair dyeing device of the present invention is a light hair dyeing device for performing hair dyeing by irradiating light to hair to which a light hair dye has been applied. a hood comprising a support portion for the hollow holding said hood, and a light emitting member provided on the inner wall surface of the hood, a first dimmer to adjust the intensity of light of said light emitting member, of the light emitting member A second dimmer for adjusting an irradiation angle or an irradiation range, and the inner wall surface of the hood is provided with a light source from the light-emitting member toward hair of a user's head inserted into the hood. A plurality of light reflecting materials that reflect light are arranged at different angles so as to face the user's head.

  The support portion may include a base placed on the floor and a support standing upright on the base.

  The hood has a substantially polygonal truncated pyramid shape, a substantially truncated cone shape, or a substantially hemispherical shape, and light emitting members may be arranged at equal intervals on the entire inner wall surface.

  Light diffusion reflectors for diffusing the light of the light emitting member may be arranged at equal intervals on the inner wall surface of the hood.

  The light diffusion reflector may be provided around the opening of the hood, and the light emitting member may be provided around the top of the hood.

  An angle adjusting mechanism for adjusting the angle of the opening of the hood with respect to the floor may be provided.

  A height adjusting mechanism for adjusting the height of the support portion may be provided.

  Since the light hair dyeing device is held hollow, the user does not need to hold it during irradiation. Thus, the user can use the light hair dyeing apparatus without performing any special operation. Therefore, the burden on the user in using the light hair dyeing device is small, and light hair dyeing can be easily performed.

It is a perspective view showing the light hair dyeing device of 1st Embodiment. It is a perspective view of a hood of a 1st embodiment. It is the figure which looked at the inside of the hood in a 2nd embodiment from the lower part.

  Hereinafter, a plurality of embodiments of the light hair dyeing apparatus will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

(First embodiment)
(Constitution)
As shown in FIG. 1, the light hair dyeing apparatus of this embodiment includes a support 2 and a hood 1 held in a hollow state by the support 2.

  The support portion 2 is a member that holds the hood 1 in a hollow state. In the present embodiment, the support portion 2 includes a support 21 and a base 22 that supports the support 21, and holds the hood 1 above the support 21.

  The base 22 is a member that is placed on the floor surface and supports the column 21. It has an arbitrary shape such as a columnar shape or a rectangular parallelepiped shape that can be placed on the floor surface, and holds the column 21 in an upright state on the upper surface.

  The column 21 is a member that holds the hood 1 at the top, and is erected upward from the base 22. The support column 21 is composed of two pipes, for example, a lower pipe 21a and an upper pipe 21b. The lower pipe 21a is connected to the base 22 by welding or the like in a state where the lower pipe 21a is placed on the upper surface of the base 22 such that the longitudinal direction is the vertical direction. The lower end of the upper pipe 21b is inserted into the upper end opening of the lower pipe 21a, and the upper pipe 21b is fixed to the lower pipe 21a by the fastening nut 3 fixed to the upper end of the lower pipe 21a. . As shown in FIG. 1, the support 21 has an upper pipe 21b which is bent once in the middle.

  The tightening nut 3 is a fixture for the upper pipe 21b and the lower pipe 21a, and is also a height adjusting mechanism. The height adjusting mechanism is a mechanism that allows the support portion 2 to expand and contract in the height direction, that is, in the vertical direction.

  The hood 1 has a space for a user to insert a head inside the inner wall, and includes a light emitting member 5 on the inner wall surface as shown in FIG. The hood 1 has an opening into which a user inserts a head and an inner wall surface. The opening is sized so that an adult can easily insert the head. That is, the circumference of the opening is about 10 to 30 cm longer than the circumference of the average adult head. The space surrounded by the inner wall surface of the hood 1 is large enough to cover the entire adult head when the user inserts the head through the opening. The hood 1 has a substantially truncated cone shape similar to the head of a user. Here, the “substantially truncated cone” means a shape close to a truncated cone.

  The hood 1 is held by the support 2 so that the opening faces the floor. One point or the top of the peripheral portion of the hood 1 is attached to the upper portion of the column 21 via the angle adjusting mechanism 4.

  The angle adjusting mechanism 4 is a joint member that can change the angle of the hood 1 to an arbitrary angle. The angle of the hood 1 is an angle formed by the surface of the opening and the floor when the opening of the hood 1 is regarded as a surface. As the angle adjusting mechanism 4, a known angle adjusting bracket or the like can be adopted.

  The light emitting member 5 is provided on the inner wall surface of the hood 1 and irradiates light to hair. The light emitting member 5 is made of a member that emits light having a wavelength capable of performing light hair dyeing. For example, a fluorescent lamp or an LED can be adopted.

  The light emitting members 5 are arranged on the inner wall of the hood 1 at equal intervals. The hood 1 has a horizontal stripe pattern parallel to the edge of the opening, that is, is arranged concentrically around the top of the hood 1.

  Although not shown, the body of the light hair dyeing apparatus is provided with a switch for turning on and off the light hair dyeing apparatus. When the switch is turned on, the power is turned on, and light is emitted from the light emitting member 5. By turning off the switch, the power is turned off and the light emitting member 5 stops emitting light.

  The main body of the light hair dyeing device includes a dimmer 7 capable of adjusting the light intensity, irradiation range, and irradiation angle of the light emitting member 5. The dimmer 7 has a first dial 7a for adjusting the light intensity and a second dial 7b for adjusting the irradiation range and the irradiation angle of the light according to the length of the hair.

  The first dial 7a adjusts the light intensity. By increasing the number of the first dial 7a of the dimmer 7, the intensity of light emitted from the light emitting member 5 increases, and the amount of light emitted increases. By lowering the number on the first dial 7a of the dimmer 7, the intensity of the light emitted from the light emitting member 5 is reduced, and the amount of light emitted is reduced.

  The second dial 7b adjusts the irradiation angle or the irradiation range according to the length of the hair. Here, there are two types of settings, short and long. When the second dial 7b is set to long, all the light emitting members 5 emit light. The light emitting member 5 around the opening has an irradiation angle facing the floor. When the second dial 7b is set to short, the light emitting member 5 around the opening does not emit light.

  Although not shown, the hood 1 is provided with a heat discharge port. The heat outlet is provided by providing a hole at an arbitrary position of the hood 1. The number and size of the holes are arbitrary. By providing the heat discharge port, heat generated by the light emitting member 5 can be released to the outside.

(Action)
Hereinafter, the operation of the light hair dyeing device of the present embodiment will be described together with the operation of the user.

  The user previously applies a known light hair dye capable of light dyeing to the hair. What is necessary is just to apply to the hair of the part which wants to dye hair, and may be the whole hair or a part of only the root.

  The user adjusts the height and angle of the hood 1 so that the user's head is located in the center of the space surrounded by the inner wall surface of the hood 1. For example, when the user uses the light hair dyeing device while sitting on a chair, first, the user checks the height position of his / her head while sitting on the chair. Then, the height of the support portion 2 is adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism so that the height of the hood 1 matches the height position confirmed. When the tightening nut 3 is loosened, the upper pipe 21b can be moved up and down, and the height of the support 2 can be adjusted. When the tightening nut 3 is tightened, the upper pipe 21b is fixed, and the height of the support 2 is fixed. Thereby, the height of the hood 1 held on the upper part of the support portion 2 can be adjusted and fixed. Further, the user adjusts the angle of the hood 1 by moving the angle of the hood 1 so that the head does not hit the edge of the opening of the hood 1 while sitting on the chair.

  The user switches on the light hair dyeing device. Thereby, the power of the light hair dyeing apparatus is turned on, and light is emitted from the light emitting member 5. Then, the hair is exposed to the illuminated light, so that the hair dyeing is promoted. As a result, the color of the hair gradually changes over time and the hair is dyed.

  After turning on the switch of the light hair dyeing device, the user adjusts the light amount using the first dial 7 a of the light controller 7. Light dyeing varies the speed of dyeing according to the amount of light irradiation. Therefore, the user adjusts the amount of light according to the desired color or timing of the dyeing. For example, when it is desired to dye gray hair gently, irradiation is performed with a reduced amount of light. If you want to dye hair all at once, irradiate with more light.

  During the use of the light hair dyeing apparatus, if the hair does not progress easily, or if the hair progresses too fast, the user increases or decreases the light amount of the light emitting member 5 by the first dial 7a during the irradiation. Control can also be performed.

  The user sets the length of his / her hair using the second dial 7b of the dimmer 7. For long hair, set to long, for short hair, set to short. Thereby, the irradiation range and the irradiation angle of the light emitting member 5 are determined according to the set hair length.

(effect)
(1) The light hair dyeing device of the present embodiment is a light hair dyeing device that irradiates light to hair to which a light hair dye is applied to perform hair dyeing, and an opening into which a user's head is inserted. A hood 1 having an inner wall surface; a support portion 2 for holding the hood 1 in a hollow state; and a light emitting member 5 provided on the inner wall surface of the hood 1.

  Since the hood 1 is held hollow, the user does not need to hold the light hair dyeing device of the present embodiment during irradiation. Therefore, the user does not have to take a hand on the light hair dyeing apparatus when using the light hair dyeing apparatus, and thus the burden on the user is small. Therefore, the user can easily perform light dyeing without burden.

(2) The support portion 2 has a base 22 placed on the floor surface, and a column 21 erected on the base 22. Thus, the light hair dyeing apparatus is of a stand type, and is independent from the floor. Therefore, the user can move the light hair dyeing device to an arbitrary position. Therefore, the user can use the light hair dyeing device at a desired place indoors.

(3) The hood 1 has a substantially polygonal truncated pyramid shape, a substantially truncated cone shape, or a substantially hemispherical shape, and the light emitting members 5 are arranged at equal intervals on the entire inner wall surface.

  Since the hood 1 has a substantially polygonal truncated pyramid shape, a substantially truncated cone shape, or a substantially hemispherical shape close to the user's head shape, the entire circumference of the head covered by the hood 1 is substantially even from the inner wall surface of the hood 1. Have a great distance. Since the light emitting members 5 are arranged at equal intervals on the entire inner wall surface, the head has a substantially equal distance from each light emitting member 5. Therefore, in the present embodiment, uniform light can be applied to the entire head simultaneously.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to irradiate a wide range at a time. For example, in the case of a brush-type light hair dyeing device, the area of the brush is limited, so in order to dye the entire hair, it is necessary to change the position of the brush many times according to the area of the brush and irradiate light There is. Therefore, it takes a considerably long time to dye the entire hair. Further, the irradiation time of light in each part is likely to vary, which may cause uneven dyeing. However, in this embodiment, since it is not necessary to sequentially irradiate each part unlike the brush type, the time required for dyeing the entire hair can be significantly reduced.

  Further, by irradiating a wide range at a time, variation in the irradiation time for each part can be suppressed, so that unevenness is less likely to occur. Further, since uniform light is applied to each part, an effect of preventing uneven dyeing can be obtained. In particular, when the user has short hair such as a man, the entire hair is covered with the hood 1. Therefore, uniform light can be applied to the entire hair at once. Thereby, it is possible to perform light hair dyeing with less unevenness.

(4) An angle adjusting mechanism 4 for adjusting the angle of the opening of the hood 1 with respect to the floor surface is provided. Thus, the user can adjust the hood 1 of the light hair dyeing device to a desired angular position by adjusting the angle. For example, when the angle of the hood 1 is set so that the opening surface is parallel to the floor, the user inserts the head into the hood 1 with the upper body almost upright and uses the light hair dyeing device. Can be done. Also, by tilting the opening surface with respect to the floor surface, the user can insert the head into the hood 1 and use the light hair dyeing device while reclining with the backrest of a chair or the like. Therefore, the user can use the light hair dyeing apparatus without any special operation in a free posture indoors.

  Further, the head of the user can be adjusted so as to be located substantially at the center of the space surrounded by the inner wall surface of the hood 1. Therefore, any of the light emitting members 5 provided on the inner wall surface of the hood 1 has a certain distance to the user's hair and does not directly contact the hair. For example, when the light hair dye device is in the form of a brush or a comb, if the light hair dye in an undried state comes into direct contact with the pins, the light hair dye applied to the hair will come off, causing uneven dyeing. sell. In addition, if the light hair dye is applied to the light hair dyeing device, it may cause a failure of the light hair dyeing device itself. Therefore, in order to avoid these problems, it is necessary to wait until the light hair dye is dried, so that there is a problem that an extra waiting time is generated and the handiness of the light hair dye is impaired. However, in the present embodiment, the user can irradiate immediately after the application of the light hair dye, and there is no need to wait until the light hair dye dries, so that no extra waiting time occurs.

(5) A tightening nut 3 which is a height adjusting mechanism for adjusting the height of the support portion 2 is provided. Thus, the user can adjust the height of the support portion 2 to adjust the hood 1 of the light hair dyeing device to a desired height position. Thereby, the user can use the light hair dyeing device without any special operation in a free posture indoors regardless of the height of the chair or the height of the user.

(6) A dimmer 7 for adjusting the light intensity, irradiation angle or irradiation range of the light emitting member 5 is provided. The user can control the speed of the progress of hair dyeing by adjusting the intensity of the irradiated light. Therefore, the color and timing of the dyeing can be adjusted by the user himself. Further, by adjusting the irradiation angle or irradiation range of the light, the user can control the position where the light is irradiated by himself. Therefore, the user can adjust the hair dyeing location by himself / herself.

(7) In the column 21, the upper pipe 21b is bent once in the middle. Thereby, the movable angle range of the opening of the hood 1 with respect to the floor surface is widened. For example, by refracting, the support 2 does not collide with the hood 1 even when the opening is horizontal with the floor surface.

(8) Since the light emitting member 5 is an LED, the light emitting member 5 becomes compact, so that the entire light hair dyeing apparatus can be made compact.

(9) When the second dial 7b is set to be long, all the light emitting members 5 emit light, so that the entire head is irradiated with light. Then, the light reaches the lower part of the light emitting member 5 around the opening when the irradiation angle is directed to the floor surface. This makes it possible to irradiate the tip of the hair that does not fit in the space inside the hood 1 when a woman with long hair or the like uses it. When the second dial 7b is set to short, the light emitting member 5 around the opening does not irradiate light, so that light is mainly radiated around the top of the head. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent light from being applied to a neck or the like of a user who does not need to irradiate light without hair, and it is possible to reduce discomfort of the user such as heat due to light irradiation.

(10) By providing the heat discharge port, the heat generated by the light emitting member 5 can be released outside. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the temperature of the hood 1 from excessively rising due to the heat generated by the light emitting member 5 and to prevent an accident or the like in which a user who comes into contact with the hood 1 is burned.

(11) With the above configuration, the light hair dyeing apparatus of the present embodiment can easily perform light hair dyeing in a short time when a user comes to mind, regardless of bad weather such as rain or cloudiness. is there. Light dyeing has the disadvantage that it takes several days for hair dyeing to be accelerated by sunlight when it is sunny, but it takes several days on bad weather such as rain or cloudiness. However, the light hair dyeing device of the present embodiment, even in bad weather such as rain or cloudiness, the user uses the hair dye for a short time before going out or the like, advances hair dyeing, and then gradually dyes the hair with natural light. I can go.

(Second embodiment)

Arranged in a shape.

(effect)
(1) On the inner wall surface of the hood 1, light diffusion reflectors 6 for diffusing light of the light emitting member 5 are arranged at equal intervals. Thus, the light emitted from the light emitting member 5 is diffusely reflected, so that it is possible to uniformly emit light to the entire hair while reducing the number of light emitting members 5. Therefore, by reducing the number of LED illuminations, it is possible to reduce the cost at the time of manufacturing the light hair dyeing device. In addition, the amount of electric power used can be reduced, and the cost for using the light hair dyeing apparatus can be reduced.

  In addition, by diffusing and reflecting linear light of an LED or a fluorescent lamp, the light becomes almost natural light. Therefore, glare of the user is reduced, and comfort during use is improved.

(2) The light diffusion reflector 6 is provided around the opening of the hood 1, and the light emitting member 5 is provided around the top of the hood 1. By providing the light emitting member 5 around the top of the hood 1, the light reflecting material efficiently reflects and diffuses the irradiated light.
