A water supply mechanism 63 consisting of a spring 97 that urges and an opening shaft 65 that opens the water supply valve 64 by operating the lever 40 against the biasing force of the spring 97 can be detachably attached. It is. Further, the printed wiring board 51 is reliably supported by the support body 98 of the lower body 23.

Next, to explain the usage of the steam type hair setter of the present invention constructed as above, the main body 6
A water supply tank 62 that has been supplied with a predetermined amount of water is placed in the tank installation part 44 of the upper main body 43 of 8, with the opening shaft 65 of the water supply cutoff mechanism 63 of the water supply tank 62 in contact with the other end of the lever 40, and the power cord 25 is connected to the power source, and the switch 47 of the upper body 43 of the main body 68 is operated by the switch button 53 to energize the positive temperature coefficient thermistor heater 27 that heats the heater 30 via the thermostat of the steam generator 37, and the hair curler is heated. 57 to the installation body 58 and the steam supply hole 70 of the hair curler 57 to the steam hole 3 of the steam generator 37.
3, and the protrusion 87 of the hair curler 57 is placed in contact with the protrusion 86 of the steam generator 37, and the hair curler 57 is placed on the installation body 58.
is pressed downward against the biasing force of the spring 59 that biases the hair curler upward, and the installation body 58 is slid downward so that the protruding body 87 of the closing body 85 of the hair curler 57 is pressed against the protrusion 86. By contacting and being pressed, the closing body 85 of the hair curler 57 slides inside the steam supply hole 70 of the hair curler 57 and is brought into a state in which only a predetermined portion protrudes from the steam supply hole 70, and the installation body The downward sliding of the lever 58 moves one end of the lever 40 pivoted on the pivot body 41 downward, and the downward movement of one end of the lever 40 moves the other end of the lever 40 upward. The water supply tank 62 abutting the other end of 40
The opening shaft 65 of the water supply mechanism 63 of the water supply tank 62 is moved upward to open the water supply valve 6 of the water supply mechanism 63 of the water supply tank 62.
4 is opened, water 99 from the water supply tank 62 is supplied through the water supply pipe 39 onto the water absorbing body 32 of the heater 30 of the steam generator 37, and the water is heated by the heater 30 and instantly steamed. a, and the steam a is passed from the steam hole 33 of the steam generator 37 to the steam supply hole 7 of the hair curler 57.
The foam material 78 of the hair curler 57 is passed through the steam supply hole 70 of the hair curler 57 through the steam jet hole 74, and the foam material 78 of the hair curler 57 is heated to a predetermined temperature by the steam a. The hair curler 57 is humidified and heated to a predetermined temperature, and the hair curler 57 that has been heated and heated to the predetermined temperature is hooked and wound around the hair hooking member 80 of the hair curler 57. The hair is set by supplying appropriate temperature and humidity to the hair.

In the above case, water in the water supply tank 62 is supplied onto the water absorbing body 32 of the heater 30 of the steam generator 37 through the water supply cutoff valve 6 of the water supply cutoff mechanism 63 of the water supply tank 62.
During the opening period, the hair curler 57
It is done with a pressing period of 8, therefore the hair curler is 57
is installed on the installation body 58 and pressed, a predetermined amount of water is supplied from the water supply tank 62 to the water absorption body 3 of the heater 30 of the steam generator 37 via the water supply pipe 39.
A predetermined amount of water is supplied onto the steam generator 37, and a predetermined amount of steam a is generated from the steam generator 37. In addition, a water absorber 32 is installed in the heater 30 of the steam generator 37.
is provided, water supplied from the water supply tank 62 via the water supply pipe 39 flows to the water absorbent body 32.
water is absorbed into the heater 30 of the steam generator 37.
This prevents water droplets from forming water droplets due to surface tension when steam a is generated, and steam a can be efficiently generated. Then, when the hair curler 57 is installed and pressed by the installation body 58, the closing body 85 of the hair curler 57 is closed to the hair curler 57.
A predetermined portion of the hair curler 57 protrudes from the steam supply hole 70 of the hair curler 57, and when the hair curler 57 is heated and moistened to a predetermined temperature by the steam a, the hair curler 57 is held in place by the knob 83 of the closing body 85 of the hair curler 57. Therefore, when the hair curler 57 is taken out from the installation body 58, the steam a does not come into contact with the hands, and hair can be wrapped around the hair curler 57 very easily.

<Effects of the invention> Since the steam-type hair setter of the invention has the above-described configuration, the foam material can be securely attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical part of the hair curler body without being rotated by the hair hooking member. By hooking the hair with the hair hooking member, the hair can be reliably wound around the hair curler body, and the hair can be set reliably.

In addition, when winding hair around the hair curler, it is possible to wrap the hair by holding the hair hook member, which improves safety against the heat of steam compared to wrapping the hair by holding the foam material directly. be able to.
