Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the drying property, regulating property, and arranging property of hair, and lower consumption power by providing bristles, with hollow sections communicated with the circulating courses of a brush attachment, and by providing the external surfaces of the bristles, with opening sections communicated with the hollow sections. CONSTITUTION:A housing having a suction port 1a and a jet port 1b, forming a circulating course 2b communicated with both the ports, and having a heater block, an air blowing block, and a switch block built in the housing, has a main body 1 for enabling a suction port filter to be engaged with the suction port side and a brush attachment 2 to be engaged with the jet port side, removably, and bristles 22. The bristles 22 have hollow sections 22a communicated with the circulating course 2b of a base 21 for composing the brush attachment 2, and are communicated with the hollow sections 22a, and are provided with opening sections 22b for penetrating the external surfaces. In this manner, the bristles 22 are made hollow, and on the peripheries, the opening sections for jetting air are arranged, and so the air is blasted on hair entwined with the bristles, and the bristles are inserted into the hair, and so the hair can be uniformly dried.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a hair dryer.

[Conventional technology]

A hair dryer has a brush attachment detachably attached to the main body, and is used to dry and curl the hair.A conventional hair dryer consists of a main body 1 and a brush attachment 2 as the main components, as shown in Figure 3. has been done.

The main body 1 has a cylindrical housing 11 made of two semi-cylindrical members, one of which includes a power cord block 12 with a rotatable power cord L2a and a suction port filter 13.
It has a suction port 1a provided with a , and a discharge port 1b provided with a means for removably locking a brush attachment 2, which will be described later, on the other side. A heater block, a blower block, and a switch block are built in, and a switch operator 14 for driving the switch block is attached to the outer shell of the housing 11.

The brush attachment 2 is formed of a base 21 and bristles 22, which will be described later. The base 21 includes a connecting portion 2a connected to the outlet 1b and locked to the housing 11, a flow path 2b that guides air from the outlet 1b, and a flow path 2b that communicates with the flow path 2b to uniformly discharge the air. Opening 2c provided at a predetermined position
It is formed from. The bristle 22 is formed by planting bristles such as pig hair on the base 21, or by molding plastic into a needle shape. The one made of plastic molding is integrally molded with the base 21, or the plurality of bristles 22 are integrally molded. The latter is fixed to the base 21 by bonding, hot caulking, welding, fitting, or the like.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The hair dryer described above has an opening for blowing air on the surface of the base, so when drying or styling hair, the part facing the opening is This creates shadow areas and makes it difficult for the temperature of the hair to be uniform.As a result, there are problems such as increased heat loss, uneven dryness of the hair, and difficulty in styling and curling the hair. Also,
Since all of the openings face the hair, a large amount of air is blown onto the hair, causing the hair to be blown away.

As a result, there are problems in that the hair is not styled properly and the hair tends to get tangled in the bristles.

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to improve the dryness, hair styling, and curliness of the hair by uniformly diffusing the discharged wind into the hair. We are here to provide you with an improved hair dryer.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the hair dryer of the present invention has a housing that has a suction port and a discharge port, forms a flow path that communicates the two, and has a built-in heater block, blower block, and switch block. The main body has a suction port filter on the suction port side and a means for removably locking the brush attachment on the discharge port side, a flow passage having a bristle and communicating with the discharge port, and a flow passage on the bristle side. A hair dryer comprising a brush attachment provided with a communicating opening, in which the bristles are hollow and an opening is provided on the outer surface of the bristles.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the bristles are hollow and have openings around them for blowing air, so the wind blows on the hair entangled in the bristles, and the bristles penetrate deep into the hair. This allows the hair to dry evenly.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 and 2.

The main components and essential parts of the hair dryer of the present invention are the brush attachment 2 and its bristle 22. Members other than this essential part are the same as those of the conventional example described above, so substantially the same members are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be omitted.

The bristle 22 has a hollow part 22a that communicates with the flow path 2b of the base 21 that constitutes the brush attachment 2,
An opening 22b that communicates with the hollow portion 22a and penetrates the outer surface.
will be established. The opening 22b is formed by forming one or more bristles 22 into a block at the same time as plastic molding. In addition, by providing an opening 22b at the tip of the bristle 22 as shown in FIG. 2(a), it is possible to improve the supply of air to the skin of the head during dry brushing, which is effective in drying the skin. You may also try to raise it. Alternatively, in a case where a plurality of bristles 22 are formed in the axial direction as shown in FIG. 2(b), the discharge amount is controlled by changing the opening area of each opening 22b.

For example, the opening area may be increased toward the tip so that the hair can be dried from the scalp side. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2(d), the through hole of the opening 22b may be inclined toward the base to increase the amount of discharge when brushing hair with warm air. , the rise in temperature of the skin of the head may be moderated.

The brush attachment 2 is made by gluing, heat caulking, welding,
It is fixed and formed by a method such as fitting. In addition,
A single bristle 22 may be fixed to each of the bases 21 having a plurality of locking holes (not shown) for locking the bristles 22, or blocks of the bristles 22 may be fixed to each of the bases 21. Further, the bristles 22 described above are attached to the opening 2.
By mixing bristles 22 without 2b or bristles (not shown) with bristles implanted with pig hair, etc., the function of uniformly permeating the wind can be added to the original function of bristle for conditioning and combing the hair. You may also attach it.

〔Effect of the invention〕

Since the hair dryer of the present invention can uniformly diffuse wind into the hair, it is possible to improve the hair drying properties, styling properties, and curling properties of the hair, and to improve the drying speed and reduce power consumption. I can do it.
