Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a hair brush equipped with a brush (including a comb) at the outlet, and is characterized by the structure of the outlet.

[Conventional technology]

This type of hair dryer with a brush is disclosed in, for example, US Pat. No. 4,040,432 and US Pat. No. 4,173,231.
It is publicly known from the specification of No. In this case, a brush having a plurality of ventilation holes formed in a bristle bed plate is used, and this brush is attached to an air outlet.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, if the heater is placed near the inside of the air outlet (for example, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,088,869), the red-hot heater is directly visible from the outside through the ventilation holes of the brush's bristle base plate, and the user, especially the user, It makes women feel insecure. When hair is styled, the tips of the hair enter the heater through the ventilation holes of the hair transplant base plate, creating a burnt odor.
There was a fear that cotton dust, etc. might get in during storage and cause it to be burned by the heater during use. There was also a risk of electric shock if a thin metal object such as a hairpin stuck into the heater through the ventilation hole of the flocking base plate.

Focusing on this fact, this invention prevents the red-hot heater from being directly visible from the ventilation holes of the brush's bed plate, thereby eliminating the feeling of anxiety for the user.
It also aims to improve safety by preventing hair tips, cotton dust, hairpins, etc. from entering through the ventilation holes.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention
As shown in the figure, a brush-equipped hair dryer is assumed, in which a brush 8 is attached to an outlet 5 of a grip part case 1, and a heater 2 is arranged inside the outlet 5. The brush 8 has bristles 14 planted on a bristle bed plate 13 having ventilation holes 12.

On top of that, the present invention
A member is placed inside the tufting base plate 13 to block each ventilation hole 12 while allowing ventilation.

In other words, as a closing member, one or both of the porous outlet grille 7 and the porous bristle presser plate 15, which are arbitrarily arranged on the inner surface of the bristle bed base plate 13 with the ventilation holes 12 of the brush 8, are used. Use.

FIG. 1 shows the most preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the ventilation holes 12 of the bristle bed plate 13 and the ventilation holes 16 of the bristle presser plate 15 located inside this are made to match in phase. These ventilation holes 12, 16
On the other hand, the phases of the ventilation holes 9 of the outlet grille 7 do not match, and both the ventilation holes 12 and
The relationship is such that it blocks 16. That is, in FIG. 1, it is assumed that the hot air passes as indicated by the symbol Q.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention as described above, the ventilation holes 12 of the bristle bed plate 13 of the brush 8 are covered and hidden by the wall portion of the porous plugging member disposed inside the ventilation holes 12. Therefore, although the hot air can be blown out from the ventilation hole 12 of the flocking base plate 13 without any trouble, the red-hot heater 2 cannot be seen from the outside, so the user can use it with confidence without feeling anxious.

Since it is also possible to prevent the ends of hair, hairpins, etc. from entering the interior through the ventilation holes 12, it is possible to reliably prevent burning of the ends of hair by the heater 2 and electric shock accidents caused by the hairpins. In particular, it is possible to effectively prevent cotton dust from entering the heater 2 through the ventilation hole 12 when not in use.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the most preferred embodiment of the hair dryer with brush according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

The grip case 1 of the hair dryer of this invention has a cylindrical shape that is long in the front and back direction, and is made up of plastic left and right cases 1a and 1b that are joined together. are all arranged in series along the axis P of the grip case 1. An air outlet 5 is provided on the ventral side of the approximately front half of the grip case 1, and a suction port 6 is provided at the rear end of the grip case 1.
The fan 4 is rotated to draw in air through an inlet 6, heated by a heater 2, and then blown out from an outlet 5 in a direction perpendicular to the axis P.

An outlet grill 7 is fixed to the outlet 5, and a brush 8 is removably attached to the outside of the grill 7.

The outlet grille 7 is made of punched metal or the like having an arcuate cross section and has a large number of ventilation holes 9, the left and right ends 7a, 7a of which are along the left and right inner surfaces of the outlet 5, and extend from the left and right ends 7a, 7a. Grooves 10, 10 in which bent portions 7b, 7b are recessed in the front-rear direction on the inner surface of the air outlet 5
It is fitted and fixed.

The brush 8 includes a bristle base plate 13 having an arcuate cross-section and a large number of small bristle holes 11 and ventilation holes 12 arranged in rows in the front, rear, right and left directions, and brush bristles 14 inserted into the bristle holes 11. It consists of a bristle pressing plate 15 which is stretched over the inner surface of the bristle-planting base plate 13 and presses and fixes the base portion 14a of the brush bristles 14 to the bristle-planting base plate 13.

The flocking base plate 13 is made of rubber (NBR) and is integrated into the resin base frame 13a by insert molding.

The bristle presser plate 15 is made of punched metal, resin plate, or the like, and has a large number of ventilation holes 16. Reference numeral 17 denotes a wall portion connecting each ventilation hole 16, 16.

The bristle holding plate 15 is arranged with a ventilation gap S provided inside the bristle-planting base plate 13, the wall portion 17 presses the brush bristle 14, and the ventilation hole 16 faces the inside of the ventilation hole 12 of the bristle-planting base plate 13. ing. This ventilation gap S ₁ is also formed by the presence of the base portion 14a of the brush bristle 14 sandwiched between the bristle presser plate 15 and the bristle bed base plate 13.

What should be noted here is that the arrangement of the ventilation holes 9, 12, and 16 located inside and outside is as shown in FIG. That is, the outlet grill 7
The bristle press plate 15 has a ventilation gap S ₂ to allow ventilation.
The ventilation holes 12 and 16 of the bristle base plate 13 and the bristle presser plate 15 are opposed to the wall of the outlet grill 7 located inside these. The ventilation holes 12 and 16 are arranged in such a manner that the walls cover the ventilation holes 12 and 16.

Incidentally, the bristle presser plate 15 has bent portions 15a, 15a formed at the left and right ends of the bristle presser plate 15, which are connected to the underframe 1 of the bristle base plate 13.
It is held by fitting into grooves 18, 18 provided on the left and right inner sides of 3a. Further, the brush 8 has inward protrusions 19, 19 formed above the grooves 18, 18 at the left and right ends of the underframe 13a, and formed in the front-rear direction on the left and right outer surfaces of the air outlet 5 of the grip part case 1. By inserting it into the grooves 20, 20 from the front, it can be attached to and removed from the air outlet 5.

In this case, the ventilation holes 12 of the bristle bed plate 13 and the ventilation holes 16 of the bristle press plate 15 are in phase, but the insides of these ventilation holes 12 and 16 are covered by the wall of the outlet grille 7. Since the flocking base plate 13
The heater 2 cannot be directly seen from the outside of the ventilation hole 12. The outlet grille 7 can effectively prevent hair tips, hairpins, etc. from entering the interior through the ventilation hole 12. The hot air blows out from the ventilation hole 12 of the bristle base plate 13 through the ventilation hole 9 of the outlet grille 7 and the ventilation hole 16 of the bristle presser plate 15, as shown by the arrow P in FIG.

[Another example]

Although the illustrated example is as described above, the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, when the outlet grill 7, the flocking base plate 13, and the bristle presser plate 15 are arranged in the above-described arrangement, the ventilation holes 16 and 12 of the bristle presser plate 15 and the bristle presser plate 13 are in phase with each other, as shown in FIG. may not match, and therefore the wall 17 of the bristle presser plate 15 may close the ventilation hole 16 of the bristle bed plate 13. In this case, the outlet grille 7 and the bristles presser plate 15
The ventilation holes 9 and 16 may or may not be in phase.

Moreover, the inner side of the ventilation hole 12 of the bristle-planting base plate 13 can be closed not only by either the outlet grille 7 or the bristle presser plate 15 but by both members 7 and 15. For example, as shown in Figure 6,
The bristle press plate 15 is attached to the ventilation hole 12 of the bristle bed plate 13.
The ventilation hole 16 is partially wrapped, but the inside of this ventilation hole 16 is blocked by the wall of the outlet grille 7, and the ventilation holes of the outlet grille 7 and the flocking base plate 13 are closed. 9 and 12 are partially wrapped,
Both ventilation holes 9 and 12 may be closed by the wall of the bristling plate 15.

The outlet grille 7 functions as a protector to prevent the heater 2 from being exposed when the brush 8 is removed from the outlet 6 and from being hit by external objects. Therefore, if the brush 8 is not removably attached to the outlet 5, the outlet grille 7 is not required.
In this case, the bristle presser plate 15 serves as a member exclusively for closing the ventilation hole 12 of the bristle-planting base plate 13, and the wall portion 17 of this plate covers the inside of the ventilation hole 12 of the bristle-planting base plate 13.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the above-mentioned flocking base plate 1
3. The underframe 13a and the brush bristles 14 may be integrally molded of plastic material. In such cases, the base 14 of the brush bristles 14 can be
Since it is no longer necessary to press and hold the tufting base plate 13 against the flocking base plate 13, the outlet grill 7 or a member equivalent thereto may serve as a dedicated member for closing the ventilation holes 12 of the flocking base plate 13. When installing the bristle presser plate 15 alone, the bristle presser plate 15 is attached to the flocking base plate 1.
