At this time, the plug 72 is connected to the connection jack 54, and the plug 72 is connected to the connection jack 54. Further, the hook 55 provided on the main body A engages with the engagement recess 10d on the inner surface of the base 10 to prevent it from coming off. Next, regarding the hair wrapping members C and D that are selectively attached to the attachment base B, the roll brush type hair wrapping member C will be explained first.
This consists of a cylindrical brush base 20 in which a large number of steam holes 21 are formed, and a pristle 22 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the brush base 20, with a detachable button on the base side. 23 is attached slidably in the direction perpendicular to the axis. When this hair wrapping member C is placed over the outer circumference of the pipe 11 of the attachment base B, the hair wrapping member C has a concave shape formed on the outer circumferential surface of the pipe 11. 1115, the inner surface is provided with a protrusion (not shown) that prevents rotation of the vibrator 11 and positions it in the circumferential direction. Steam hole 2
1 matches. Then, an engagement protrusion 17 provided on the attachment base B is inserted into the hole in which the attachment/detachment button 23 is disposed.
By engaging, the hair wrapping member C is fixed to the attachment base B. The liquid supply means 4 that supplies liquid to the heating hand Pi3 includes:
An elliptical structure consisting of tank cases 40 and 41 welded together, a cylindrical tube section 42 that is detachably attached to the opening in the tank case 41, and a water absorbent body 44 disposed in the tube section 42. The tank case 40 is provided with a valve 43 for adjusting the internal pressure, and a valve 43 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 22 that is inserted into the tip opening of the pipe 1l through the tip opening 25 of the hair wrapping member C. A contacting seal 45 is attached. The water absorbing body 44, which has one end located inside the tank case 40, 41, has its other end fixed to the inner surface of a V-shaped notch formed in the tip surface of the cylindrical portion 42 with a wire 75. In the figure, 48 is a protrusion that prevents the liquid supply means 4 from coming off by engaging with the inner peripheral surface of the tip of the brush base 20, 46 is an O-ring for preventing water leakage, and 47 is a projection that connects the cylindrical portion 42 to the tank case 40, 4.
This is a stop protrusion for attaching to 1. Liquid supply means 4
The liquid supply means 4 can be removed by rotating it around its axis and disengaging the retaining protrusion 48 from the brush base 20, and the cylindrical portion 42 can be removed from the water absorbent body 44.
By removing it from the tank cases 40 and 41 together with the
Water can be replenished into tank cases 40 and 41. The tank case 41 here includes an overlap part 49 that covers the outer periphery of the circular collar 29 provided at the end of the hair wrapping member C when the liquid supply member 4 is attached to the hair wrapping member C. This prevents the formation of a seam opening in the outer circumferential direction between the hair wrapping member C and the liquid supply member 4. Now, if the blower is operated with the attachment base B connected to the main body A and the hair winding member C attached to the attachment base B, the air will flow through the large diameter cylindrical portion 10a of the hair winding member C. and the small diameter cylindrical portion 10b. When the heating stage 3 is energized with the liquid supply means 4 filled with water attached, the water absorbent body 44 holding the water sucked out from the tank case 40 and 41 moves onto the both sloped sides of the outer surface of the holder 30. Since they are in contact with each other, moisture is heated in this contact area and becomes steam, which is ejected from the steam holes 14 and 21. At this time, both ends of the pipe 11 are connected to the O-ring 70 attached to the holder 30 and the cylindrical part 42.
The pipe 1 has a perfect circle with the seal 45 attached to it.
Since the bristle 1 is closed by contacting the inner peripheral surface of the bristle 22 to prevent steam from leaking, the steam is reliably discharged toward the hair held by the bristle 22. As described above, since the seam between the hair winding member C and the liquid supply member 4 is covered with the overlap part 49, when winding the hair, the bristle 22
When brushing using the brush, there is no chance of hair getting caught in the seams. Next, the flat brush type hair wrapping member D will be explained. This hair wrapping member D has a cylindrical inner tube 2-
6, an outer cylinder 25 having a semicircular cross section, and a bristle stand 27 which is integrally provided with the bristle 22 and is arranged at a side opening of the outer cylinder 25.
, and a circular collar 2 attached to the tip surface of the outer cylinder 25.
9, the bristle stand 27 connects the steam hole 14 of the pipe 11 through the steam hole formed in the inner cylinder 26.
In addition to a large number of steam holes 21 communicating with the inner cylinder 26
A blowout hole 28 is provided which communicates with the space between the outer cylinder 25 and the outer cylinder 25. When this hair wrapping member D also covers the outer periphery of the pipe 11 of the attachment base B with the inner cylinder 26, a protrusion (not shown) that matches the groove 15 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 11 is attached to the inner cylinder 26. Since it is provided on the inner surface, it prevents the pipe 11 from rotating and positions it in the circumferential direction. and,
If air is blown while attached to the main body A via the attachment base B, some of the air will flow between the outer cylinder 25 and the inner cylinder 26.
The air is blown out from the air outlet 28 of the bristle table 27 through the space between the two. The liquid supply member 4 can also be attached when the hair wrapping member D is used to generate steam. Although the cross-sectional shape of the outer tube 25 of the hair wrapping member D is semicircular, since a circular flange 29 is provided at the tip, the overlap portion 49 of the liquid supply member 4 also overlaps with the flange 2 at this time.
Cover the outer circumference of 9 to eliminate the seam. The flange 29 is provided so that the single liquid supply member 4 having the overlapping portion 49 can be used in common with both types of hair wrapping members C and D. Since the outer diameter of 29 is made to match the maximum diameter of the outer cylinder 25 of the hair wrapping member D, the liquid supply member 4 equipped with the overlap part 49 that covers the collar 29 also has a suitable outer diameter, that is. has a large internal volume. The cap 9 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 is attached in place of the liquid supply member 4 when the device is used only by blowing air without generating steam. That is, the switch S. ,S. This makes it possible to only blow air without energizing the heating means 3, but if the liquid supply member 4 is attached while still being filled with liquid, there is a risk that the liquid will leak. Furthermore, if the switches S1 and S2 are turned on by mistake, steam will suddenly come out. In addition, the liquid supply member 4
When using with the hair wrapping member C removed,
If your finger accidentally enters the end opening 25 of , D, there is a risk of burns. The cap 9 is intended to prevent such a situation, and is attached to the hair wrapping members C and D by engaging the protrusions 98, and at this time, it is provided with an overlap part 99 that covers the outer periphery of the collar 29. It has become a thing.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, in the present invention, since the liquid supply member is provided with the overlap part that covers the hair wrapping member, the seam between the hair wrapping member and the liquid supply member is covered by the overlap part. Therefore, when the hair is wrapped around the hair wrapping member, the hair does not get caught in the seam, making it easy to use.
