[Embodiment 1 of the invention]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A hair braiding tool according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1(a) is a conceptual diagram showing a schematic configuration of the hair braiding tool according to the first embodiment. Moreover, FIG.1(b) is a top view of the clamping member shown to Fig.1 (a).

As shown in FIG. 1(a), the hair braiding tool 100 according to Embodiment 1 includes a braiding rod 110 and a lead member 120. As shown in FIG.

The knitting pin 110 is a rod-shaped member for inserting the tip portion 111 through the hair. The knitting needle 110 may have a columnar shape, a prismatic shape, or other shapes. Moreover, in order to facilitate insertion into the hair, the tip portion may have a shape with a reduced diameter, or may have a shape in which the entirety is curved. Although the material of the knitting needle 110 is not particularly limited, for example, resin can be used. Moreover, the dimensions of the knitting pin 110 are not particularly limited, and may be determined so as to facilitate the braiding of hair.

A lead member 120 is used to connect the knitting needle 110 and a hair bundle (not shown in FIG. 1). For this purpose, the lead member 120 has a string-like member 121 and a clamping member 123 .

In this Embodiment 1, the annular portion 122 is formed by folding the string member 121 in two.

One end 124 of the string-like member 121 (the end on the side where the annular portion 122 is not formed) is attached and fixed to the rear end 112 of the knitting pin 110 .

On the other hand, the other end 125 of this string-like member 121 (the end on the side where the annular portion 122 is formed) is used to tighten and hold the hair bundle. Therefore, the annular portion 122 is inserted through the insertion holes 123a, 123a of the tightening member 123 at both of the folded portions. It is also possible to use one insertion hole and to insert both ends of the string-like member 121 folded in two (see FIG. 5 described later).

The tightening member 123 has a reduced diameter at the portion on the knitting pin 110 side. As a result, when the hair braiding tool 100 is passed through the hair (described later), the hair is less likely to be caught by the portion of the tightening member 123 on the side of the knitting pin 110 .

Materials for the string-like member 121 and the tightening member 123 are not particularly limited, and resin, rubber, or the like can be used, for example. However, in order to reliably hold the hair bundle 200 in a state where it is difficult for it to come off, it is desirable that the string member 121 be made of a material having a sufficiently high coefficient of friction. Moreover, it is desirable that the tightening member 123 is also configured so that the annular portion 122 is less likely to loosen when the hair bundle 200 is tightened.

The dimensions of the string-like member 121 and the tightening member 123 are not particularly limited, and may be determined so as to facilitate braiding of the hair.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a method of connecting the hair braiding tool 100 to the hair bundle 200. As shown in FIG. In the present invention, the term "hair bundle" includes a single hair.

As shown in FIG. 2 , when connecting the hair braiding tool 100 to the hair bundle 200 , first, the hair bundle 200 is inserted into the annular portion 122 provided on the lead member 120 of the hair braiding tool 100 . Then, the tightening member 123 is slid toward the hair bundle 200 (see arrow A in FIG. 2), and the hair bundle 200 is tightened by the annular portion 122 . As a result, the hair bundle 200 is held by the annular portion 122 and the knitting pin 110 and the hair bundle 200 are connected.

As described above, in the hair braiding tool 100 of Embodiment 1, the hair bundles 200 are held by being inserted into the annular portion 122 of the lead member 120 and tightened. book), the hair bundle 200 can be held by the hair braiding tool 100 easily and reliably. On the other hand, even a large number of hair bundles 200 can be easily and reliably held.

In addition, since the hair bundle 200 is tightened and fixed by the annular portion 122 in this manner, the hair braiding tool can be attached to an arbitrary portion of the hair bundle 200 from the vicinity of the root to the vicinity of the tip.

FIGS. 3A to 3C are conceptual diagrams showing an example of a method of braiding hair using the hair braiding tool 100. FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 3(a), the hair braiding tool 100 is connected to an arbitrary portion of the hair bundle 200 by the method described above (see FIG. 2). In the example of FIG. 3, this hair braiding tool 100 is attached near the tip of the hair bundle 200 .

Next, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the tip 111 of the braiding rod 110 is inserted into an arbitrary portion 210 of the hair from the back of the head, and then the hair braiding tool 100 is passed through the head. As a result, the hair bundle 200 can be formed into the braided portion 211 in the arbitrary portion 210 of the hair.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3(c), the tip 111 of the knitting pin 110 is again inserted into the arbitrary portion 210 of the hair from the back of the head, and then the hair braiding tool 100 is passed through the side of the head. As a result, another braided portion 212 can be formed next to the braided portion 211 .

In this way, the hair braiding tool 100 of Embodiment 1 can be connected to the ends of the hair bundles 200, and can be connected to a small number of hair bundles 200. can be easily done.

FIGS. 4(a) to 4(c) are conceptual diagrams showing the main configuration of a modification of the first embodiment.

In the first embodiment described above, the string-like member 121 is folded in two at its central portion to form the annular portion 122, and both ends of the string-like member 121 are attached and fixed to the rear end portion 112 of the knitting needle 110 (Fig. 1). However, as shown in FIG. 4( a ), the string-like member 121 may be folded in half at a portion other than the center to form the annular portion 122 . In that case, for example, only one end of the string-like member 121 is attached and fixed to the rear end 112 of the knitting pin 110 (not shown in FIG. A retainer 401 may be provided to prevent detachment.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the tightening member 123 is configured as an independent component (see FIG. 1). However, as shown in FIG. 4B, one end 121a of the string-like member 121 is folded in two and fixed with a clasp 402 or the like, and the other end of the string-like member 121 is attached to the folded portion. By inserting the part, the tightening part 403 of the present invention can be configured without using an independent component.

In addition, when the entire string-like member 121 is folded in two, if the annular portion 122 of the string-like member 121 is wound around the hair bundle 200 and the knitting needle 110 is inserted through the tip portion of the annular portion 122, A "skylark knot" as shown in FIG. 4(c) can be used to tighten and hold the hair bundle 200. FIG. In this case, the crossing portion 404 between the overlapping portion of the string-like member 121 and the annular portion 122 serves as the tightening portion of the present invention.

The hair braiding tool shown in FIGS. 4(a) to (c) can also obtain the same effect as the hair braiding tool 100 shown in the first embodiment.
[Embodiment 2 of the invention]
A hair braiding tool 500 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5(a) is a conceptual diagram showing a schematic configuration of a hair braid 500 according to the first embodiment. 5(b) is a plan view of the clamping member 501 shown in FIG. 5(a).

In FIG. 5, constituent elements denoted by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 are the same as in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), a hair braiding tool 500 according to Embodiment 2 includes a tightening member 501. As shown in FIGS. The fastening member 501 is provided with an insertion hole 501a having a gourd-shaped horizontal cross section (that is, a substantially elliptical shape in which the central portion is constricted). Both ends of the string member 121 are inserted through substantially circular partial holes 501b, 501b formed on both sides of the insertion hole 501a.

The dimensions, material, etc. of the tightening member 501 are not particularly limited.

By using one insertion hole 501a in the tightening member 501, the manufacture of this tightening member 501 can be facilitated compared to the case of using two holes (FIG. 1(b)).

The cross-sectional shape of the insertion hole 501a may be, for example, an ordinary elliptical shape.

Furthermore, the hair braiding tool 500 according to the second embodiment includes a tubular tightening assisting member 502 . The tightening assisting member 502 has a truncated conical appearance, and is inserted into the cord-like member 121 so that the small diameter opening is positioned on the knitting pin 110 side and the large diameter opening is positioned on the annular portion 122 side. be done. Then, the tightening member 501 described above is press-fitted into the auxiliary tightening member 502 from the large-diameter opening side. As a result, a force for contracting the tightening member 501 inward is generated, and the string-like member 121 inserted through the insertion hole 501a can be tightened .

As a result, the string-like member 121 can be sufficiently firmly tightened by the tightening member 501 even though the string-like member 121 is inserted through one insertion hole 501a at two locations.

In addition, even if the tightening force of the tightening member 501 is reduced by using the hair tie 500 for a long period of time, the tightening auxiliary member 502 allows the tightening member 501 to tighten the cord-like member 121 sufficiently firmly. can.

Further, by forming the auxiliary tightening member 502 into a truncated cone shape and fitting the tightening member 501 from the large diameter side, it is possible to prevent the tightening member 501 from being inserted deep into the auxiliary tightening member 502 . In addition, by forming the auxiliary tightening member 502 into a truncated cone shape, the hair is less likely to be caught by the auxiliary tightening member 502 when the hair braid 500 is passed through the hair.

Although the material of the tightening assisting member 502 is not particularly limited, for example, resin can be used. Further, the dimensions of the tightening assisting member 502 may be such that the tightening member 501 can be press-fitted with an appropriate tightening force.

In addition, the hair braiding tool 500 according to the second embodiment has a retainer 503. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5( a ), the retainer 503 is fitted inside the annular portion 122 of the string member 121 .

The stopper 503 prevents the hair bundle from slipping out from the annular portion 122 when the hair bundle is fixed by the annular portion 122 of the string member 121 . For this reason, it is desirable to use a material having a sufficiently large surface friction coefficient, such as rubber, for the retainer 503 .

In addition, this retainer 503 prevents the tightening member 501 from coming off from the loop portion 122 side of the string member 121 . As described above, in the second embodiment, since both ends of the string-like member 121 are inserted into one insertion hole 501a of the tightening member 501, the tightening member 501 can be pulled out of the string-like shape unless the retainer 503 is provided. There is a risk that the member 121 may slip out from the double-folded portion side.

Since the method of using the hair clip 500 according to the second embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, the explanation is omitted.

Also with the hair braiding tool 500 of the second embodiment, complicated and fine braiding can be easily performed as in the first embodiment.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can of course be implemented with appropriate modifications according to its purpose, application, and the like.

For example, the hair braiding device using the tightening member 123 having two insertion holes 123a, 123a as shown in the first embodiment described above may be combined with the auxiliary tightening member 501 and the retainer 503 shown in the second embodiment. One or both of may be provided.
