By the way, everyone has a "whirlpool", but this "whirlpool" causes hair growth, so the hair that is bent due to the hair growth and the hair that does not have the hair growth are entangled. Since that part cannot be combed with a hairbrush, it remains tangled as it is. Sometimes I jump.
In that case, the present situation is that the tangled part is left as it is and the problem area is corrected by applying an iron.

In this way, conventionally, it has not been considered to eliminate tangles caused by hair habits.
The present invention has been invented in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to propose a method of easily untangling hair as described above by using a hairbrush with a devised shape.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above object. The surface side has a curved shape that substantially conforms to the shape of the head of the human body, and the implantation surface is convex when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the curved direction . An imaginary line connecting the tips of three kinds of pin hairs , ie, short hairs and short hairs, extending radially and connecting the tips of long hairs, medium hairs, and short hairs in the longitudinal direction of the implanted surface is the head of the human body. A hairbrush, characterized in that it is planted as pin tufts having a curved shape that substantially conforms to a shape, and the pin bristle tufts are arranged in a plurality of rows in the longitudinal direction of the tying surface and in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, respectively. be.

According to the invention of claim 2 , in the method of using the hairbrush described in claim 1 , the curved shape of the implanting surface is aligned with the head, and the pin hair is moved left and right while being applied to the scalp. The hair that hits the hair is lifted to untangle it, and while the pin hair is in contact with the scalp, the hair is combed in the direction in which the hair is desired to be aligned without separating the hair brush from the scalp, thereby aligning the flow of the hair. A method of use characterized by combing and cutting.

According to the invention of claim 3 , in the method of using the hairbrush described in claim 2 , half of the planting surface is applied to the scalp and moved to the left and right to untangle, and further rotated halfway, and the remaining half is also applied to the scalp. This is a method of use characterized in that by untying the tangle while the tangle is in contact with the hair, the part where the tangle remains loose on the remaining half side is also combed.

By using the hairbrush of the present invention, it is possible to disentangle tangles caused by hair habits with a simple movement, and to align hair flows in a desired direction.
Therefore, satisfaction of hair styling in daily life can be enhanced.

A hairbrush according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the hairbrush 1 has a brush portion 5 in which a plurality of pin bristles 3 are implanted, and a handle 7 as a gripping portion connected to the brush portion 5 . The brush part 5 has a shape of a rectangular flat plate curved so as to substantially follow the shape of the head of the human body, and the side facing the head is concave. Also, this concave side bulges slightly to form a convex hemispherical surface when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the bending direction.
This concave side serves as a brush base 9, and a plurality of pin bristles 3 are planted on the concave side of this brush base 9. - 特許庁

The handle 7 is made of synthetic resin and integrally formed with the brush base 9, and the pin bristles 3 are also made of the same synthetic resin and integrally formed with the brush base 9. As materials for the brush pedestal 9, the pin bristles 3, and the handle 7, for example, ABS resin, polyacetal, nylon, or the like can be used.
The concept of connecting the handle 7 to the brush pedestal 9 includes a configuration in which it is attached as a separate member in addition to integral molding.

As is clear from the partial enlarged view of the surrounding circle 11 in FIG. 3, the pin bristles 3 are planted so as to stand substantially perpendicularly from the recessed planting surface 9a of the brush pedestal 9. As shown in FIG. The plurality of pin hairs 3 are composed of pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c of a plurality of types (here, three types of long hair, medium hair, and short hair) having different protrusion heights from the planting surface 9a.
The three pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c are planted as a set of hair bundles 15 in one planting site 13. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4 , a plurality of bristle bundles 15 are arranged in rows in the longitudinal direction of the brush base 9 and arranged in a plurality of rows in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the brush base 9 . That is, the bristle tufts 15 are arranged in rows on the planting surface 9a in the longitudinal direction of the brush base 9 and/or in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.
Since the three pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c of each hair bundle 15 have different lengths, an imaginary line connecting the tips of the pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c in the longitudinal direction of the brush base 9 also corresponds to the human head. It becomes a curved shape that almost follows the shape.
Especially preferable for eliminating tangling caused by hair habits is that the hair bundles 15 are arranged at intervals of 5 mm on the planting surface 9a, the longest pin hair 3a is 2 to 2.2 cm long, and the middle pin hair is 2 to 2.2 cm long. The pin hair 3b is 3 to 4 mm shorter than the pin hair 3a, the shortest pin hair 3c is 3 to 4 mm shorter than the pin hair 3b, and the pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c spread radially.
Also, it is possible to change the length between the central portion and the ends. For example, it is possible to set the length of the longest pin hair 3a so that the ends are several millimeters longer than the central portion. .

In the present embodiment, the main body of the brush part 5 is constituted by the brush pedestal 9. However, as shown in FIG. A configuration may be adopted in which an implanted elastically deformable brush base is fitted.
As the material of the pin bristles 3, in addition to nylon or the like, animal bristles such as pigs and wild boars may be used. The handle 7 and the brush pedestal 9 may be made of wood such as ebony, rosewood, Chinese quince, and beech. reduction can be achieved.

A recommended method of using the hairbrush 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG.
FIG. 5 shows a state in which the hairbrush 1 is fitted to the head in the vicinity of the forehead. As described above, since the brush base 9 has a curved shape substantially following the shape of the human head, many pin hairs 3 are directed toward the hair. At this time, the implanting surface 9a is a convex hemispherical surface, and the occipital half 9a (r) hits the scalp 17, and the remaining forehead half 9a (f) warps away from the scalp 17. The point is to do

After repeatedly moving the hairbrush 1 in the left-right direction (in the direction of the arrow LR) in the state shown in FIG. While the half part 9a(f) is applied to the scalp 17, it is moved backward (in the direction of arrow B) as shown in FIG.
As a result, the hair can be combed in a state in which the flow of the hair is neatly aligned.
The mechanism is speculated and explained below.

Focusing attention on the pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c and the hair in the state shown in FIG.
When the hairbrush 1 is applied to the scalp 17, as shown in FIG. 8, the lengths of the pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c are different. It gets into the entangled portions of the hairs 19a and 19a', the entangled portions of the hairs 19b and 19b', and the entangled portions of the hairs 19c and 19c'.

When the pin hair 3 is repeatedly moved in the horizontal direction (LR), the hair that hits the front side of the moving direction of the pin hair 3 is moved together. During this accompanying movement, the pin hairs 3 are followed and lifted up. Therefore, the entanglement K is untangled by being separated from the hair on the left side without being moved together.
For example, the hair 19a, 19a' has an ingrown hair 19a', the hair 19b, 19b' has an ingrown hair 19b', and the hair 19c, 19c' has an ingrown hair. The existing hair 19c' is forcibly lifted up, and the entanglement K with the remaining hairs 19a, 19b, and 19c that have not been moved together are released.

By combing the hairbrush 1 without separating from the scalp 17 in the state in which the entanglement K is unraveled, the hair can be combed out in a state in which the entanglement K is unraveled.
Even if the entanglement K is once unraveled, if the hairbrush 1 is separated from the scalp 17, the entanglement K will be formed again. .

As shown in FIG. 6, when the hairbrush 1 is rotated halfway and combed as shown in FIG. The remaining half 9a(f) hits the scalp 17, and the part where the entanglement K remains loose can be neatly combed.
By moving the hairbrush 1 as described above, the tangles K can be neatly removed without any special technique.

FIG. 9 shows from above the state in which the hair 19 is randomly laid and tangled, that is, the state before the hair is combed. A growing habit has appeared and a large number of tangles K have occurred.
From this state, the entanglement K is released, and the state shown in FIG. 10 (the hairbrush 1 is omitted) is obtained. At this stage, since the hairs grow in different directions, the entanglement K is unraveled although the hairs cross each other when viewed from above.
Then, without separating the hairbrush 1 from the scalp 17, that is, while the hair 19 is placed on the pin hairs 3a, 3b, and 3c, the hair is moved backward as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 11, the flow of the hair is aligned in one direction, and the hair styling is completed.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment. included.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the brush pedestal 9 of the brush part 5 is formed of a plate material having a uniform thickness, and the whole is curved so as to substantially follow the shape of the head of the human body. A configuration in which only one side (implantation side) is curved so as to substantially follow the shape of the head may be employed.
