BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair curler for curling hair and a method for producing the same, and more particularly to a hair curler having a water-absorbing member having water-absorbing properties and a method for producing the same.

0002

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, electrically heated hair curlers have been provided that curl hair by wrapping the hair around the outer periphery of a cylindrical winding frame. These include those that are equipped with a heater inside the winding frame and generate heat by themselves, those that are equipped with a heat storage agent and are heated by an external heater,
Alternatively, there are those that are heated by electromagnetic induction heating as shown in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-13066, but in both cases, the hair is heated by a heated winding frame, and the hair is wrapped around the winding frame. It is designed to curl the hair.

0003

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, with this type of conventional hair curler, the hair is curled by applying heat directly to the hair using a heated curling frame, so the heat causes moisture in the hair to evaporate. In addition to the problem that the moisture content of the hair decreases, the hair becomes dry, feels poor to the touch, and lacks shine, the curls do not hold well and even if set, they quickly fall apart over time. There was a drawback that it could be stored away.

Therefore, in the process of arriving at the present invention, we considered attaching a thin water-absorbing member to the cylindrical heated body molded as a hair curler in a subsequent step. This type of thin water-absorbing material bonded with adhesive can absorb moisture with the water-absorbing material, and curl the hair without damaging the hair due to the steam generated by evaporating the moisture retained by the water-absorbing material. It has been found that it is possible to perform the attachment. However, in this type of product, a thin water-absorbing member is attached to the surface, so there is a problem that it easily peels off.

[0005] The present invention was invented in view of the problems of the conventional methods described above, and the object thereof is to provide a hair curler that can curl the hair without damaging it and whose water-absorbing member does not easily peel off. To provide a manufacturing method.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the hair curler of the present invention includes a hair curler 3 in which water-absorbing members 1 having water-absorbing properties are distributed on the surface of a cylindrical heated body 2.
Then, the block-shaped water absorbing member 1 is attached to the cylindrical heated body 2.
At least one recess 4 on the surface is arranged.

[0007] Furthermore, the method for producing a hair curler of the present invention includes:
A step of forming the water absorbing member 1 into a block shape, a step of arranging at least one block-shaped water absorbing member 1 at a predetermined position of the mold 5, and a step of supplying the molding material 6 into the mold 5 to be heated. This process consists of a step of molding so that the block-shaped water absorbing member 1 is exposed on a part of the surface of the main body 2. Further, a step of forming the water absorbing member 1 into a block shape, a step of forming the heated body 2 into a cylindrical shape with at least one or more recesses 4, and a step of forming the water absorbing member 1 in the block shape into a cylindrical heated body It may also include a step of arranging it in the second recess 4.

[0008]

[Function] In the present invention, the hair curler 3 is made by distributing the water-absorbing member 1 having water-absorbing properties on the surface of the cylindrical heated body 2, so that the water-absorbing member 1 can absorb moisture.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will now be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1-6. As shown in FIG. 2, first, a cloth material (i.e. water absorbing member 1) made of a fiber member such as polyester that has a fibrous structure and can absorb and release moisture is cut into a predetermined size. As shown in the figure, a molded member 7 made of polyester elastomer is formed by thermocompression bonding for reinforcement.
Attach it to form a block. At least one of the block-shaped water absorbing members 1 is placed in a predetermined position of the mold 5 and the mold is clamped. By supplying a polyester elastomer molding material 6 that will become the heated body 2 into the mold 5 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plurality of block-shaped molding materials are formed around the cylindrical heated body 2. The surface of the water absorbing member 1 is exposed, and the water absorbing member 1 and the heated main body 2 are
As a result, the water absorbing member 1 is firmly attached to the cylindrical heated body 2. In this case, the molded hair curler 3 has a structure in which a water absorbing member 1 is disposed in a recess 4 on the surface of a cylindrical heated body 2 and is integrated therewith, as shown in FIG. In the accompanying drawings, 5a is a fixed mold, 5b is a movable mold, and 5c is a side core, and these members constitute the mold. Note that the cylindrical heated body 2 is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, ribs 8 for catching hair may be formed. By the way, the block-shaped water-absorbing member 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may be a single molded body of a porous synthetic resin having water-absorbing properties, as shown in FIG.

Next, other embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 13 will be explained. In this example, a cloth material (i.e. water absorbing member 1) made of a fiber material having a fibrous structure such as polyester and capable of absorbing and dissipating moisture is cut into a predetermined size, and as shown in FIG. In order to strengthen the structure, it is attached to a molded member 7 made of polyester elastomer by thermocompression bonding to form a block shape. On the other hand, by supplying a polyester elastomer molding material 6 that will become the heated body 2 into the mold 5 as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a cylindrical shape having at least one recess 4 on the surface A heated body 2 is formed. A recess 4 is formed on the surface thus formed.
The block-shaped water absorbing member 1 is press-fitted into the recess 4 of the cylindrical heated body 2 as shown in FIG. In this case, the block-shaped water absorbing member 1 may be fixed to the recess 4 using an adhesive if necessary. As shown in FIG. 13, the cylindrical heated body 2 may be provided with hair catching ribs 8. The block-shaped water-absorbing member 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, but may be a single molded body of a porous synthetic resin having water-absorbing properties, as shown in FIG.

[0013]The hair curler 3 manufactured by each of the above-mentioned manufacturing methods has a structure in which at least one block-shaped water absorbing member 1 is arranged in the recess 4 on the surface of the cylindrical heated body 2. . In use, the water absorbing member 1 exposed on the outer surface of the hair curler 3 absorbs water and the hair curler 3 is heated (for example, the hair curler 3 is heated by electromagnetic induction heating while absorbing water, or the hair curler 3 is placed in a pot filled with hot water). The hair is curled by wrapping it around this hair curler 3, but the water held in the water absorbing member 1 exposed on the outside of the hair curler 3 evaporates and penetrates into the hair. Then, the moisture that has penetrated the hair is evaporated by the heat from the hair curler 3 (heat conduction from the hair curler 3 and heating by steam as the heated moisture evaporates), and the curl is fixed. By heating with steam, the moisture content of the hair does not decrease, and as a result, the hair is not damaged, and in particular, steam is generated when the hair is wrapped, which allows the steam to penetrate into the hair. It is efficient.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] Since the present invention is a hair curler in which a water-absorbing member having water-absorbing properties is distributed on the surface of a cylindrical heated body, hair can be curled while the water-absorbing member absorbs water. When curling hair, the steam generated by evaporating the moisture held in the water absorbing member heats the hair, allowing curling without reducing the moisture content of the hair, without damaging the hair, and curling. In addition, in order to curl the hair without damaging it and provide the water absorbing member on the surface of the heated body so that the curl lasts well, the water absorbing member is shaped like a block. By arranging at least one block-shaped water-absorbing member in a recess on the surface of the cylindrical heated body, it is possible to create a structure in which the water-absorbing member is less likely to peel off than when a thin water-absorbing member is bonded to the surface. It is possible.

[0015] Furthermore, the process includes a step of forming the water-absorbing member into a block shape, a step of arranging at least one block-shaped water-absorbing member at a predetermined position of the mold, and a step of supplying the molding material into the mold to be heated. In a method comprising a step of forming a block-shaped water-absorbing member so that it is exposed on a part of the main body surface, a hair curler having a structure in which the water-absorbing member is difficult to peel off can be manufactured in a simple manner, and the water-absorbing member can be removed after the body is formed. The process of attaching with adhesive can be omitted and costs can be reduced.

[0016] Further, the step of forming the water absorbing member into a block shape, the step of forming the heated body into a cylindrical shape having at least one recess, and the step of forming the water absorbing member in the shape of a cylinder into the cylindrical heated body. In the method comprising the step of arranging the water-absorbing member in the recess 4, a hair curler having a structure in which the water-absorbing member is difficult to peel off can be manufactured by a simple method.
