DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair curling device for curling hair and applying hot air to the hair to make it curl or wave.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The structure of a hair curling device of this kind is shown in FIG. 5, in which reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical base 1, and an opening at one end of the base 1 serves as a hot air inlet 2. The other end of the base portion 1 has a tapered portion 3 which is tapered toward the front.
Are formed integrally, and a winding drum portion 4 is formed extending from the front end portion of the tapered portion 3 toward the front thereof by a predetermined length, and a plurality of bristles 5 are uniformly formed on the outer peripheral surface of the winding drum portion 4. The protrusion is formed.

A first hot air discharge port 6 having a relatively large opening area is uniformly formed on the peripheral surface of the tapered portion 3 along the circumferential direction. The second warm air discharge port 7 having a small opening area is formed uniformly over substantially the entire peripheral surface. Reference numeral 8 denotes a cap screwed to the tip of the winding drum 4.

When using this hair curling device, the hot air inlet 2 of the base 1 is fitted and attached to a handleable cylindrical air blowing unit 10 having a built-in hot air blowing mechanism 9. Then, while driving the hot air blower mechanism 9 of the blower unit 10 and blowing hot air into the hot air inlet 2, the blower unit 10 is held by hand and a bundle of hair is wound around the outer periphery of the winding drum unit 4.

The warm air introduced from the blower unit 10 into the warm air inlet 2 flows through the base 1 and is diverted to the first warm air outlet 6 and the inside of the winding drum 4. The hot air diverted to the first warm air outlet 6 is discharged from the first warm air outlet 6 toward the outer peripheral portion of the winding drum portion 4 and hits the hair wound around the winding drum portion 4. The hot air diverted into the inside of the winding drum portion 4 is discharged to the outside from the second warm air discharge port 7 while flowing through the inside of the winding drum portion 4, and the hair wound around the winding drum portion 4 Hit evenly. By irradiating the hair wound around the winding drum portion 4 with the warm air, the hair is heated, and a curl or a wave is formed.

[0006]

By the way, the hair is wound around substantially the entire length of the winding drum 4, but the warm air discharged from the first warm air discharge port 6 is wound around the winding drum 4. A large amount of hair blows on the portion of the hair near the arrangement of the first hot air discharge port 6, so that the temperature distribution of the entire hair wound around the entire length of the winding drum portion 4 is the first temperature distribution. A relatively extreme unbalanced state occurs in which the hot air outlet 6 side is high and the side away from the first hot air outlet 6 is low, and as a result, there is a problem in that the habit of hair becomes uneven.

In a conventional hair curling device,
Both ends of the winding drum 4 having the bristle 5 are open, so that when the hair bundle is wound around the outer circumference of the winding drum 4, the bundle of hairs is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the winding drum 4. It may be wrapped around in an inclined manner. In such a case,
When the hair is unwound from the winding drum 4, the hair may be entangled with the winding drum 4.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to heat hair wound around a winding drum almost uniformly to give a uniform habit. Another object of the present invention is to provide a hair curling device that can wind a bundle of hair almost straight without tilting the bundle of hair when the hair is wound around the winding drum.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cylindrical base having one end open as a hot air inlet, and a base extending from the other end of the base toward the front. A provided winding drum portion, and a second discharging portion is provided between the base portion and the winding drum portion and discharges warm air introduced into the base portion from the warm air introduction port toward an outer peripheral portion of the winding drum portion. A hot air discharge port for discharging warm air introduced into the winding drum from the warm air introduction port from each portion of the peripheral surface of the winding drum to the outside almost uniformly; A hair curling device comprising: a first hot air outlet at a boundary between the winding drum portion and a first hot air outlet;
Is provided with a flange that regulates the amount of hot air discharged from the hot air discharge port toward the outer peripheral portion of the winding drum portion.

[0010] In the second aspect of the present invention,
A plurality of bristles were provided substantially uniformly on the outer periphery of the winding drum portion, and the outer diameter of the winding drum portion including these bristles was provided at the boundary between the winding drum portion and the first warm air discharge port. The dimensions are approximately the same as the outer diameter of the flange for regulating the air volume.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. Parts corresponding to those of the conventional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. In the hair curling device according to this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a tip of a tapered portion 3 provided on a base 1 is integrally provided with a shaft cylinder 20 of a fixed length extending toward the tip thereof. A curler -21 is formed so as to protrude, and constitutes a winding drum portion around the outer periphery of the shaft cylinder 20, and is detachably inserted.

The curler 21 is composed of a cylindrical body 22 fitted on the outer periphery of the shaft cylinder 20 and a plurality of bristles 23 uniformly formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 22. A plurality of second warm air discharge ports 24 are formed uniformly.

A screw portion 25 is formed at the distal end of the barrel 20, and a cap 26 is detachably screwed onto the screw portion 25, and the cap 26 prevents the curler 21 from falling off.

On the peripheral surface of the barrel 20, a plurality of elongated openings 28 are formed substantially uniformly along the longitudinal direction thereof. These openings 28 face the second hot air discharge ports 24 formed in the cylindrical body 22 of the curler 21, so that the hot air blown into the shaft cylinder 20 passes through the openings 28 through the second hot air. Curler 21 through discharge port 24
Are uniformly discharged to the outer peripheral side.

The outer periphery of the tip of the tapered portion 3 is located between the first hot air discharge port 6 and the curler 21 to separate the first warm air discharge port 6 from the outer peripheral portion of the curler 21. As described above, the circular flange 31 is integrally formed to protrude. A plurality of hot air circulation ports 32 are formed uniformly on the plate surface of the flange 31.

A circular flange 33 protruding from the outer periphery of the cap 26 is formed integrally with the edge of the cap 26.
The bristle 23 of the curler 21 is evenly arranged between the flange 33 and the flange 31. The outer diameter of each of the flanges 31 and 33 and the outer diameter of the curler 21 including each of the bristles 23 are substantially the same.

When using this hair curling device, the hot air inlet 2 of the base 1 is fitted and attached to the blower unit 10. Then, while driving the hot air blower mechanism 9 of the blower unit 10 and blowing hot air into the hot air inlet 2, the blower unit 10 is held by hand and a bundle of hair is wound around the outer periphery of the curler 21.

The hot air blown into the hot air inlet 2 flows through the base 1 and is diverted to the first hot air outlet 6 and the inside of the barrel 20. Then, the warm air diverted to the first warm air outlet 6 is discharged from the first warm air outlet 6 to the outside, and here, the boundary between the first warm air outlet 6 and the curler 21 is formed. Is provided with a flange 31 so as to separate the first hot air discharge port 6 from the outer peripheral portion of the curler 21. Therefore, the amount of hot air discharged from the first hot air discharge port 6 is regulated. Then, the regulated amount of warm air is sent to the outer periphery of the curler 21 through the warm air circulation port 32, and the warm air hits the hair wound around the curler 21.

The hot air diverted inside the barrel 20 is
While flowing through the shaft cylinder 20, the hair is evenly discharged from each opening 28 to the outer peripheral side of the curler 21 through the second warm air discharge port 24 facing the opening, and evenly hits the hair wound around the curler 21. .

The hair wrapped around the curler 21 is heated by the warm air discharged from the first warm air outlet 6 and the warm air discharged from the second warm air outlet 24 in this manner. The hair has a curly or wave-like habit.

By the way, the amount of warm air discharged from the first warm air discharge port 6 is regulated by the flange 31 and is blown to the outer periphery of the curler 21.
The difference in temperature distribution between the portion of the hair wound on the first hot air discharge port 6 side and the portion away from the first hot air discharge port 6 becomes smaller, and thus the hair is wound on the curler 21. The entire hair can be almost uniformly heated to give a uniform habit.

On both sides of the curler 21, flanges 31 and 33 having an outer diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the curler 21 including the bristle 23 are arranged.
When the hair bundle is wound around the outer periphery of the hair curler 21, the bundle of hair is guided by the inner surfaces of the flanges 31 and 33 and is introduced straight into the outer periphery of the curler 21 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the curler 21. Therefore, the bundle of hair does not obliquely wrap around the curler 21, and therefore, when the bundle of hair is rewound from the curler 21, the tangling of the hair can be prevented.

On the other hand, this hair curling device is provided with another curler 21a having an outer diameter larger than that of the curler 21 as an accessory for replacement of the curler 21. FIG. 4 shows the replacement curler 21a. The curler 21a has a large outer diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the flanges 31 and 33, and a substantially uniform outer periphery of the cylindrical body 22a. It is composed of a plurality of bristles 23a which are formed so as to protrude, and a plurality of openings 24a which are formed substantially uniformly on the peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 22a.

When using the curler 21a, first remove the cap 26 from the threaded portion 25 at the tip of the barrel 20, remove the curler 21 shown in FIG. Then, the replacement curler 21a is inserted into the outer periphery of the barrel 20. An opening on one end side of the cylindrical body 22a of the curler 21a is fitted to the outer periphery of a step portion 31a formed on the front surface of the flange 31.
6, the other end of the cylindrical portion 22a of the curler 21a is pressed by the flange 33 of the cap 26, and the curler 21a is attached to the outer periphery of the shaft cylinder 20.

In this case, the first hot air outlet 6
The warm air discharged from the inside flows into the inside of the cylindrical body 22a in the curler 21a through the warm air circulation port 32 of the flange 31. Then, the hot air is uniformly discharged to the outside from the plurality of openings 24a formed in the cylindrical body 22a.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a shaft cylinder 20 is integrally formed on the front side of the base 1,
Although the curler 21 is detachably inserted around the outer periphery of the shaft cylinder 20 to form the winding drum portion, a case where the winding drum portion is integrally formed on the front side of the base 1 may be used. Alternatively, the bristle of the bobbin may be formed integrally with the cylindrical body of the bobbin, or may be formed by attaching another member.

[0027]

As described above, according to the present invention,
A flange is provided at the boundary between the winding drum section and the first hot air discharge port, and the flange regulates the amount of hot air discharged from the first warm air discharge port toward the outer peripheral portion of the winding drum section. Therefore, the entire hair wound around the winding drum portion can be heated almost uniformly to give a uniform habit, and when the hair is wound around the winding drum portion, the hair is guided by the flange to guide the hair. The bundle can be wound almost straight without tilting with respect to the winding drum portion, and thus, it is possible to prevent tangling when the hair is rewound.
