Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention ultrasonically vibrates a rod-shaped vibrating body or a thin metallic bristle-like vibrating body to ultrasonically clean hair and ultrasonically clean joints of tiles and depressions of tires. The present invention relates to an ultrasonic brush that can be used.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for washing the hair of bedridden old people and sick people, a sheet of water such as synthetic resin is placed under the head, the head is lifted and the hair is washed by hand with shampoo, etc. The shampoo was rinsed off by pouring hot water on the hair while keeping the futon and the like wet.

In addition, in order to remove the material adhering to the joints of the tiles or the depressions of the tire, it has been rubbed with a spatula of bamboo, a stick or a metal brush.

By the way, when washing the bedridden old person or the sick person in this way, lifting the head of the old person or the sick person to wash the hair requires a great amount of force to lift the head. It's a very demanding task, and rubbing tile joints and tire depressions is a very powerful task.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, holes are provided in a large number of side surfaces of a horn of a Langevin type ultrasonic transducer in which ultrasonic waves are generated by an output from an oscillator, and the holes are rod-shaped. A vibrating body is planted.

[0005]

In the present invention, a large number of holes are formed on the side surface of the horn of the Langevin type ultrasonic vibrator, and rod-shaped vibrating bodies are planted in these holes, or a large number of thin metal vibrating bodies are planted. As a result, when an oscillating output is applied to the ultrasonic vibrator from the oscillator, the bristle-like vibrator or thin metal vibrator vibrates ultrasonically due to the vibration of the horn of the Langevin-type ultrasonic vibrator. When the hair is wetted with the cleaning liquid and the hair is combed with the bristle-like vibrating body and the thin metal vibrating body, the hair can be washed with the bristle-like vibrating body and the thin metal vibrating body.

Also, since there is little cleaning liquid for cleaning hair,
After washing the entire hair, rinse water flowing the washing liquid may be small, and further, after rinsing the hair, combing the hair with the bristle-like vibrating body and the thin metal vibrating body causes water adhering to the hair by ultrasonic vibration. It was atomized and flew into the air,
Hair can be dried.

1 is a perspective view of an ultrasonic brush according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial side sectional view of the ultrasonic brush of FIG.
Two ring-shaped ceramic vibrators 3 and 4 are sandwiched between two metals 1 and 2 and fixed to the metal 1 of the Langevin type ultrasonic vibrator 5 and fixed between the metal 1 and the horn 6. The collar 1a provided on the horn is used as a node of vibration, and a large number of holes 7 are provided on the horn 6, and rod-shaped vibrating bodies 8 are planted in each of these holes 7. The oscillator 10 and the power supply device 11 are attached to the bottom of the case 9 from the power supply device 11 to the outlet 1.
2 is drawn out to form the ultrasonic brush 13.

In the present embodiment thus constructed,
The outlet 12 is connected to a commercial power source to oscillate the oscillator 10, the horn 6 of the ultrasonic transducer 5 is ultrasonically vibrated by the output of the oscillator 10, and the ultrasonic vibration vibrates the rod-shaped vibrating body 8.

When the hair is wetted with the cleaning liquid and the rod-shaped vibrating body 8 of the ultrasonic brush 13 combs the hair, the hair can be washed by the ultrasonic vibration of the rod-shaped vibrating body 8. After washing, the hair is rinsed clean by rinsing the hair with a small amount of water.

When the hair is rinsed with the rod-shaped vibrating body 8 after rinsing the hair, water droplets adhering to the hair become mist and rise from the hair, so that the hair can be dried in a short time. .

As described above, the ultrasonic brush 13 of this embodiment is used.
So, you can wash your hair with a small amount of washing liquid, so you can rinse your hair with a small amount of water, and you can easily wash by simply turning your head sideways without lifting your head during washing, Furthermore, since the hair can be washed without applying force to the ultrasonic brush, less labor is required,
Furthermore, by combing the washed hair with the ultrasonic brush 13, the hair can be easily dried.

Further, in the ultrasonic brush 13 of this embodiment, an output is supplied from the oscillator 10 to the ultrasonic vibrator 5,
When the rod-shaped vibrating body 8 is pressed against the joints of the tiles or the depressions of the tire, the bristle-shaped vibrating body 8 vibrates ultrasonically, so that the deposit can be easily removed.

As the rod-shaped vibrating body 8, a metal rod-shaped body may be used, or a metal rod-shaped body coated with a synthetic resin may be used. A resin rod may be used, or the metal rod may be a hollow tube.

Further, although the oscillator 10 and the power supply device 11 are provided in the case 9 in the above embodiment, the oscillator 10 and the power supply device 11 may be provided outside the case 9.

FIG. 3 is a side view of a brush portion of an ultrasonic brush according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a large number of holes are formed in the side surface of the horn 6, and thin holes or thin synthetic resin are formed in these holes. There is a bristle-like vibrating body 14 in which a large number of pieces are put together.

Also in this embodiment constructed as described above,
Not only can hair be washed in the same manner as in the above embodiment, tile joints and tire depressions can be washed, and fur can be washed.

Even if the thin metal of the bristle-like vibrating body 14 is composed of a thin metal hollow tube, the thin metal can be washed in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

[0018]

As described above, in the ultrasonic brush of the present invention, a large number of holes are provided on the side surface of the horn of the Langevin type ultrasonic vibrator, and these holes are made of metal or synthetic resin or metal-synthetic resin. By attaching a rod-shaped or hollow vibrating body or bristle vibrating body coated with, and vibrating these rod-shaped vibrating body and bristle vibrating body with ultrasonic waves to comb the hair, the hair can be washed, and the hair can be washed. There is an advantage that the water adhering to the subsequent hair can be atomized and blown off to be dried, and further, the joints of tiles and the depressions of the tire can be washed in a short time.
