Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a hairbrush that is used when using foamy hair preparations, cream hair dyes, and the like.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, when styling hair using a hair product, the hair product is taken out of the container into the palm of the hand, applied to the hair, and then styled using a hairbrush or the like. When hair is styled in this manner, the hands get dirty every time the hair is styled, and the hands must be washed with water each time, which is cumbersome. Recently, foamy hair products (mousse type hair products), which are different in concept from conventional hair products, have been developed and sold in some areas. This foamy hair preparation (mousse type hair preparation) is usually of a spray type, and is discharged in the form of foam from a container. Unlike conventional liquid hair products, this type of foam hair product has shape-retaining properties, so it has the advantage of being able to be sprayed directly onto the bristles of a hairbrush, allowing you to style your hair without getting your hands dirty. ing. There are various types of foamy hair products such as hair tonics, hair liquids, shampoos, etc., and they are used in the manner described above. Cream hair dyes are also included in this category of foam hair products. However, the hairbrush used when using the above-mentioned foam hair preparation has bristles of uniform length planted all over the brush stand, and the foam hair preparation has bristles of uniform length all over the brush stand. It is used by blowing out onto a flat surface created by the tip.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when using the above-mentioned hairbrush, the foamy hair product appears to be on top of the tips of the brush bristles, so it tends to fall off. This causes the problem of them falling and staining clothes. Even if you try to carefully prevent the hair from falling and apply the foam to the hair to style the hair, the foam will come into contact with the hair before the brush bristles come into contact with the hair, and the contact area will be damaged. A large amount adheres to the hair of people. Therefore, even if this is brushed with brush bristles, it is not possible to spread it thinly and uniformly over the entire hair, resulting in uneven application of the hair preparation, resulting in problems such as a lack of effectiveness in relation to the amount used. Furthermore, since the foamed hair preparation cannot be spread evenly and thinly as described above, the hair preparation has to be blown onto the hairbrush several times, resulting in the problem that hair styling requires considerable effort. Therefore, in actual use, this type of foam hair preparation is used by taking it out on the palm of the hand and applying it to the hair with the palm of the hand, just like conventional liquid hair preparations. The reality is that gender is not being utilized. Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-128076 discloses that a screw hole is provided in the center of a plate-shaped brush stand, a brush stand main body having a threaded portion on the outer peripheral surface is fitted therein, and a step is formed on the base surfaces of both brush stands. However, in this brush, the lengths of the bristles are made different due to the presence of the step to give hardness and softness, and even if this brush is used, the above-mentioned problems still occur.

This idea was created in view of these circumstances, and it is a hair brush that can effectively style hair by spreading the foamy hair product evenly and thinly without getting the foamy hair product onto the palm of your hand and getting your hands dirty. Its purpose is to provide the following.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the hairbrush of this invention has a hollow brush stand 1 having a handle 5 at one end.
A rectangular opening 7 formed in the central region of the hollow brush holder 1, a bristle holding holder 6 of the same shape loosely fitted in the opening 7, and the bristle holding holder 6 itself having a substantially U-shape. With the vertical side of the U-shape facing away from the handle, the brush bristle holding base 6 is positioned between both sides of the U-shape, and the handle 5 is formed in the hollow brush base 1 in the direction in which the handle 5 is formed. The elevating arm 9 is housed so as to move forward and backward along the elevating arm 9, and its long axis is tilted toward either both sides of the substantially U-shape of the elevating arm 9, or one of both sides of the brush bristle holding base 6 corresponding to both sides of the elevating arm 9. The elliptical engaging part 10 is provided in a state where the elliptical engaging part 10 is provided in a state in which the elliptical engaging part 10 is provided in a state of being
an engagement protrusion 11 provided to engage with 0;
A knob 14 is provided that extends from the generally U-shaped vertical side of the lifting arm 9 to the outside through a window 15 on the side opposite to the handle of the hollow brush stand 1, and the handle is formed on the base surface of the brush bristle holding stand 6. Brush hair 1 along the direction
6 are arranged in a line in a substantially meandering manner, and the brush bristles 1 are arranged on the base surface of the hollow brush base 1 so as to surround the rectangular opening 7.
It has a configuration in which 7 are arranged in a row.

Next, this invention will be explained in detail based on examples.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an overall perspective view of an embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the main parts thereof.
In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a brush base, which is a box-shaped brush base 3 with an open top that is integrally formed with a handle 5.
A lid body 2 with an opening 7 is attached to the top, and the inside is hollow. A portion of the handle 5 on the side of the brush base 3 is an elastic connecting portion 4 having elasticity, and the brush base 3 is arranged to extend upward and downward from this portion 4. The inside of the brush base 3 in the shape of an open box at the top is formed into a lifting arm accommodating part 8, and the part on the handle 5 side is provided with a guiding recess 1.
3, a cutout groove 15 is formed on the opposite side of the handle 5. Reference numeral 9 denotes an elevating arm with an operation knob 14 formed in a substantially U-shape.Elongated holes 10 are formed on one side 9a and the other side 9b of the U-shape, respectively, and the long axis is connected to the rear end as shown in the figure. It is slanted so that the sides are higher. Reference numeral 6 denotes a brush bristle holding stand having retaining protrusions 12 and 12', and an engaging protrusion 11 is formed on the opposing sides thereof, and the engaging protrusion 11 is inserted into the elongated hole of the lifting arm 9. 10, it is positioned between both U-shaped sides 9a and 9b of the lifting arm 9. In this case, the engaging protrusion 11 is engaged with the elongated hole 10 by bending both sides 9a, 9b outward and forcibly fitting them. Brush bristle holding stand 6
The lifting arm 9, which is attached between both U-shaped sides 9a and 9b, has one side 9a and the other side 9b aligned with the one side 8a and the other side 8b of the housing part 8, and the knob 14 is attached to the brush base. The brush base 3 is housed in the box-shaped brush base 3 with an open upper part so that it can move forward and backward in line with the window 15 of the base 3, and is covered with a lid body 2. In this case, the brush bristle holding stand 6 is attached to the opening 7 of the lid body 2.
When the elevating arm 9 is moved back and forth, the engaging protrusion 11 of the bristle holding base 6 moves diagonally along the elongated hole 10 of the arm 9, thereby moving up and down within the opening 7. It is starting to move to . During this vertical movement, the retaining protrusion 12' on the rear end side of the bristle holder 6 slides within the guiding recess 13 of the brush base 3, thereby smoothing the vertical movement of the bristle holder 6. At the same time, when the brush bristle holding base 6 rises to the top, it comes into contact with the back surface of the lid body 2 together with the retaining piece 12 to prevent the brush hair holding base 6 from coming off. Reference numeral 16 denotes brush bristles that are planted in a line in a substantially meandering manner on the upper surface of the brush bristle holding base 6;
By thinning out appropriate brush bristles from the two rows of brush bristles arranged along the longitudinal direction of the brush bristle holding table 6, a zigzag-like distribution (see Fig. 3) in plan view is achieved. There is. Reference numeral 17 denotes brush bristles that are planted in a row along the opening 7 in the outer peripheral area of the brush stand 1 surrounding the brush bristle holding stand 6, that is, in the side edge portion along the opening 7 of the lid body 2.

Thus, in the hairbrush of this invention, the bristle holding base 6 is positioned within the opening 7 of the lid 2, and the bristle holding base 6 is moved by moving the arm 9 back and forth.
can move up and down inside the opening 7, so operate the knob 14 to move the arm 9 backward and move the brush bristle holding base 6 downward as shown in FIG. Brush bristles 16 on stand 6
The brush surface created by the bristles 17 of the lid body 2 can be formed into a recessed portion relative to the brush surface created by the bristles 17 of the lid body 2. Therefore, foamy hair products can be accumulated in the recesses of the brush surface and on the upper surface of the brush bristle holding base 6, and when the brush is used, the accumulated foamy hair products can be transferred to the brush of the lid body 2. The bristles 17 make it possible to spread the foam little by little thinly and uniformly, thereby achieving the purpose of effectively holding, uniformly applying, and spreading the foam hair product. It is possible to effectively prevent the brush from protruding to the outer peripheral edge of the table, thereby preventing stains on the brush and hands. Further, the brush bristles 16 of the brush bristle holding base 6 are arranged in a line in a substantially meandering manner and have a low planting density. I go there often and remove a certain amount of hair from my head. As a result, it becomes possible to uniformly apply the foamy hair preparation, and at the same time, it becomes possible to use up the foamy hair preparation without leaving it on the roots of the brush bristles or the like. Moreover, in this hairbrush, when the knob 14 is operated to move the arm 9 forward from the state shown in FIG. Rise. This raised state is maintained by the frictional force of the arm 9 against the bottom of the brush base 3. Next, when the arm 9 is further advanced from this state to its full limit, the brush bristle holding base 6 rises to the same height as the surface of the lid 2, and the brush bristle 16, 17 will now be at the same height. In this way, this hairbrush has the effect that the degree of constriction of the brush bristles 16 and the bristle holding base 6 can be easily adjusted, and the amount of foamed hair material retained can be easily adjusted. Moreover, if the brush bristle holding stand 6 is raised to the top as described above and the brush bristles 16 are positioned at the same height as the brush bristles 17 on the outer periphery, it can be used not only as a brush exclusively for foamy hair products. , it can also be used as a regular hairbrush, which is another major feature of this hairbrush.

In addition, this hairbrush has a brush stand 1 and a handle 5.
Since they are integrally formed via the elastic connection part 4, the elastic connection part 4 becomes the center and can be easily bent, which can be used to give a pleasant stimulation to the scalp.

Further, the manner in which the brush bristles 16 are arranged may be as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in the hairbrush of this invention, the bristle holder can be moved up and down within the opening formed in the central area of the brush holder, so the bristle holder can be moved downward and the brush surface A recessed portion is formed in the recessed portion, and the foamed hair preparation or the like is held in the recessed portion so that it can be uniformly applied and spread. In particular, in the hairbrush of this invention, the bristle holding stand is loosely engaged with the rectangular opening of the hollow brush stand, and this is positioned between both U-shaped sides of the lifting arm. Since it is connected to the engaging portion, the brush bristle holder can be raised and lowered as it is without changing its initial posture by moving the lifting arm back and forth. Therefore, the mutual positional relationship between the brush bristles on the brush bristle holding base and the brush bristles in other parts is always maintained as designed, and the designed brush effect can always be obtained. Further, the operating knob for raising and lowering the brush bristle holding base extends outward from the window on the side opposite to the handle of the hollow brush base, and does not appear on the side of the hollow brush base, so that brushing can be performed easily. It's not a hindrance at all.
Moreover, in the present application, the brush bristles are arranged in a line in a substantially meandering manner along the handle forming direction on the brush bristle holding stand, and the density of the brush bristles is low, so that the foamy hair preparation is mainly used on the brush bristle holding stand. The space between the base and the tips of the brush bristles can be used effectively, and a sufficient amount of foamy hair preparation can be collected. It can be accumulated. Since the brush bristles are arranged in a line along the direction in which the handle is formed, the hair often passes between the brush bristles during brushing, and as it passes, a certain amount of hair material is taken out and applied to the hair. This allows it to be applied thinly and evenly. Moreover, the hair that passes through it also removes foamy hair particles that accumulate at the roots of the brush bristles, etc., with each brushing. As a result, the foamy hair preparation can be used up without leaving it on the roots of the brush hairs. In this case, since the brush bristle holder always maintains its posture throughout its ascent and descent, the state in which the rows of brush bristles are arranged in a substantially meandering manner along the handle forming direction is related to the elevation and descent of the bristle holder. It is always held constant. Therefore, even if the brush bristle holding base is lowered to the maximum extent to hold the maximum amount of foamy hair material, it may be lowered to a medium level to hold a medium amount of foamy hair. However, the uniform application and single-use effect of the above-mentioned foamy hair preparation remain the same. In this way, this hairbrush has the advantage that the amount of movement of the bristle holding base can be adjusted, and thereby the amount of foamy hair material etc. that can be held can be arbitrarily changed depending on the type. There is. In addition, by raising the bristle holder to the maximum extent possible, the brush can be used as a regular hair brush using cream or liquid hair products.
