Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a steam hair iron.

Conventionally, it has been pointed out that heat and moisture have a great effect on the setting of hair, and the curling mechanism is designed to moisturize and soften the hair.

}A widely used method is to apply force to softened hair to deform it, or to remove internal moisture to fix the deformation. As a method of adding moisture {i} Due to the high temperature,
The energy of the gas molecules increases, penetrating the inside of Mao Dong and sticking to it. 'o} Due to the high temperature, it takes less heat to remove moisture from the hair. For this reason, steam is often used.

Conventionally, as this type of steam hair iron, one with the structure shown in FIG.
(see 2). In the figure, 1 is a curling pipe provided with a plurality of holes for blowing out steam. A heater 3 is housed inside this pipe 1 via a packing 2, and one end of the pipe (in the illustrated case, A tank 5 is housed in the tank 5 via a cap 4, and steam generation is performed by moving the tank 5 to the heater 3 side and bringing the tank 5 and the heater 3 into contact. 7 indicates a hair presser plate.

In this structure, a part 6 that generates steam and a part that wraps the hair are separated by a pipe 1, and a hole for blowing out steam is provided in the pipe 1, and steam is applied to the hair from this hole. This structure has the disadvantage that the steam generated will eject from the hole in the pipe while retaining its momentum, pass through the hair wrapped around the pipe and hit the scalp, and if the hair is wrapped around the pipe, Since the heat is absorbed by the hair, in actual use the temperature inside the pipe is the temperature required to generate steam1.
It may be lower than 00℃. Therefore, in such a case, the water supplied to generate steam does not turn into steam on the surface of the heater, but instead jets out from the hole in the pipe as hot water, which may cause burns to the scalp. The present invention aims to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks and provide a steam hair iron that does not allow hot water to spout out from the holes of the curling pipe and can quickly replenish the heat lost due to steam generation in the steam generation section. be.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the steam hair iron of the present invention, FIG. 3 shows a top view, and FIG. 4 shows a partially perspective view. Second
As shown in the figure, the present invention is composed of a connector part A, a tank part B, and a hair holding part C, and this hair holding part has a steam generating part and a hole containing a steam reservoir for storing the generated steam. It consists of an akipipe and a part that presses down the hair wrapped around the pipe. The main body of the steam hair iron of the present invention includes a semi-cylindrical upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12, which are integrally connected by screws 13 and 14. A push button 16 is rotatably attached to the protrusion 15 of the upper housing 11, and the hair presser plate 17 can be operated by grasping the push nail 16 and the lower housing 12 at the same time. A press plate 17 is attached to the push button 16 by screws 19 in order to press down the hair wound around the pipe 18, and this press plate 16 is inserted into a hole 20 provided in the upper housing; The center portion of the holding plate 17 is constantly held against the tubular pipe 18 by the force of a spring 22 supported by a pin 21 fixed to the upper housing portion.
A tubular pipe for winding the hair is provided with a large number of holes 23, and one end of the pipe is held by the ends of the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12, which are formed in an arc shape, and is fixed with a screw 14.

A cap 24 made of a heat insulating material is inserted and fixed to the other end of the pipe 18. Also, hair press plate 17
is formed in an arc shape so as to be in close contact with the upper surface of the pipe 18, and a projecting piece 25 is provided near the pusher nail 16 (see FIG. 4). A hole 26 is also provided in the holding plate. In addition, the part of the tubular pipe 18 around which the hair is wrapped is
The surface of the tubular pipe is exposed, and the other part is covered with a cap 24 made of a heat insulating material to prevent hair from hitting the skin and causing burns when the hair is wrapped around the heated pipe. Next, the steam generation chamber will be explained.

5 and 6 show a steam generation chamber and a steam reservoir adapted to the present invention. FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG.
The figure shows a sectional view taken along line A-A' in FIG.

In the figure, 29 is a heater, one end of which is held by a cap 24 that presses and holds one end of the tubular pipe 18, and the other end is fixed by a collar 27 attached to the housing side of the tubular pipe 18. One end contacts the end surface of the tubular pipe 18, and the other end contacts a boss 28 on the tubular pipe side of the housing to which the screw 14 is mounted. The heater 29 has a recess 30 formed on one end surface, the open end of the recess 30 is surrounded by a protective plate 31, a water conduit 32 is opened in the recess, and a water absorber 42 is filled to generate steam. form a chamber. Further, the protection plate 31 is provided with a plurality of holes 33, and steam ejected from the holes is guided to a steam reservoir 34. The steam reservoir is formed by the outer peripheral surface of the heater 29, the tubular pipe 18 around which the hair is wound, and packings 35 and 36 provided at both ends of this pipe. Also, the tubular pipe 18 has a hole 37 for blowing out steam.
is provided. Next, I will explain about the water supply device.
In FIG. 2, numeral 38 is a tank, and a water absorbing body 39 is housed in one side of the tank (on the side of the steam generation chamber), and a water guide pipe 40 is provided inside this water absorbing body 39. A water pipe 32 whose end is closed to the steam generation chamber
I will support you. The water supplied into the tank 38 is impregnated into the water absorbing body 39, and the pressure rubber 41 provided on the bottom surface of the tank
When the pressure inside the tank is increased by pressing , the water flows through the water conduit pipe 40,
Water is fed into the steam generation chamber through 32. Note that the supplied water is turned into steam by the heater 29, and the water is turned into steam by the heater 29.
The steam filling the steam reservoir 34 from the hole 33 of the pipe 18 is ejected from the hole 37 of the pipe 18 and penetrates into the hair wound around the pipe 18.

As described above, in the present invention, a recess is formed on one end face of the heater to serve as a steam generation chamber, so that heat lost due to steam generation can be replenished from a distance.

{Low Since the steam generation part is at the center of one end face of the heater, the temperature of the tubular pipe on the outer periphery is less affected by the decrease in heater temperature due to steam generation.

Since a steam reservoir is provided between the tubular pipe and the steam generating part, the force of the steam jet is weakened, and there is less risk of the steam hitting the skin layer through the hair wrapped around the tubular pipe. This will prevent it from flying out of the pipe. 8. Steam is generated at the center of the heater end face, so steam can be generated evenly from the outer circumference of the tubular pipe.

'vs. Water is supplied into the water absorbing body, so when water becomes steam, it does not scatter as water droplets.

N Since the water absorber is pressed against the outside of the heater by the protective plate, the absorbed water is reliably turned into steam by the heat of the heater.
