Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a hair iron.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

As a hair iron, a half body 1 is provided with a heating plate for forming waves on one side of the tip side and a grip part on the rear side.
There is a type in which the pair is arranged such that the front side, which has the heating plate, faces each other and the rear end of the grip is connected by a hinge, giving the front side the restorability in the opening direction.

The above-mentioned hair iron has a runner-up point in that the hair is sandwiched between opposing heating plates on the tip side, opened for a while, and then curled in sequence, which causes a great deal of damage to the hair.

Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a hair iron that can inject steam into the hair to swell the hair and then heat it.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this idea
A water tank is built into the grip of one half of the hair iron, and a steam generating pot is built into the tip side, and the water tank and the steam generating pot are connected by a water supply conduit, and the water tank is connected to the water tank by a lever provided on the grip. This hair iron is connected to an operating air blowing pump mechanism, and a plurality of nozzles branched from a steam conduit from a steam generating pot are connected to a plurality of steam spouts formed on a heating plate.

[Effect]

Before using the hair iron, fill the water tank with water, turn on the steam generator and the heater on the heating plate, and then operate the lever on the grip to operate the air blowing pump mechanism to remove water from the water tank. of water is supplied to the steam generating pot, and when steam starts to be generated from the surface of the heating plate, the hair is heat-treated.

〔Example〕

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1a and 1b are a pair of halves with wave forming heating plates 2a and 2b removably attached to one front side and gripping parts 3a and 3b on the rear side. The rear end portions of the gripping portions 3a and 3b of both halves are connected by a hinge, and although not shown, a coil spring is incorporated in the hinge connection portion 4, etc., so that the tip side is given resilience in the opening direction. ing.

Numerals 5a and 5b are claws that lock the heating plates 2a and 2b, and are movable forward and backward toward the heating plates, and have resilience in the forward direction with the intervention of a compression spring 6, and by retracting the claws, the claws of the heating plates can be moved back and forth. With one side unlocked, the opposite side can be pulled out from the locking part 7 and removed.

Waveform unevenness 8 for waving the hair is formed on the surfaces of the heating plates 2a and 2b, and heating plates with different sizes of waveform unevenness are set as a spare.

9 is a heater for the heating plates 2a and 2b, 10 is a cord for supplying electricity to the heater, and 11 is a switch.
The heater has a built-in thermostat to prevent excessive temperature rise, but the thermostat is not shown.

Further, both halves 1a and 1b can be locked with their front ends closed, but this locking mechanism is omitted from illustration.

The above structure is publicly known.

In addition to the above structure, the hair iron of this invention has
A water tank 12 in the grip part 3a of one half 1a,
An evaporation generating pot 13 is housed inside the front side, and the water tank 12 and the evaporation generating pot 13 are connected by a water supply pipe 14.

Also connected to the water tank 12 is an air blowing pump mechanism 16 operated by a lever 15 provided on the grip portion 3a. 17 is the cylinder, 18 is the piston, 19 is a protrusion integral with the lever 15,
As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 3, this protruding piece 19 has entered the concave notch 20 of the piston 18, and when the lever 15 is pushed down, the piston 18 moves forward.

When the piston 18 moves forward, the pressure within the cylinder 17 increases, and an amount of water proportional to the increased pressure flows from the water tank 12 into the steam generating tank 13 via the water supply conduit 14.

When the lever 15 is released, the lever returns to its original position with the help of the coil spring 21, causing the piston 18 to move backward, creating a negative pressure inside the water tank 12, allowing outside air to flow through the small hole 28 into the water tank. The only direction of water flowing into the water supply conduit 14 and passing through the water supply conduit 14 is toward the steam generating kettle. Therefore, check valves are interposed in the water supply pipe 14 and the small hole 28, but these check valves are not shown.

A steam conduit 22 is connected to the steam generating pot 13, and a plurality of nozzles 23 are branched from this steam conduit, and these nozzles are injected into a plurality of steam jet holes 24 formed in the heating plate 2a. They are opened in unison. 25 is a heater for the steam generating pot 13;
This heater is connected to the energizing circuit of the heater 9 for the heating plate 2a.

To explain how to use this hair iron, before use, remove the stopper 26 of the water tank 12, fill it with water 27, and then close the stopper tightly.
The switch 11 of No. 5 is turned on, and the hair is heat-treated when steam starts to be ejected from the heating plate 2a.

〔effect〕

When heat-treating hair with a heating plate, steam is ejected from multiple holes in one of the heating plates, so this steam swells the hair before heat-treating it, which significantly reduces hair damage. It has the effect of being able to
