Explain how to use the operation. To perform curling, first push in the operator 29 to generate steam.

Then, when the hair wrapping body B is wrapped around the hair while steam is being generated (continuously generated), the operator 29 is pressed to stop the steam generation and wait for about 10 seconds, thereby allowing the hair to dry naturally. After this, the hair winding cylinder B is rewound to complete the curling.

The steam generation and stopping operations will be explained.

As shown in FIG. 2, steam is generated when the water absorber 14 contacts the hot plate 11. The generated steam passes through the cavity 11C in the hot plate 11, passes through the steam nozzle 11a, and is dispersed as steam from the heating vibrator 31. It passes through the felt 65, is discharged from the discharge hole 24a of the hair winding cylinder B, and is added to the hair. The second heater 25 inside the heating pipe 31 constantly heats the heating vibe 31 and prevents the steam passing through the heating pipe 31 from condensing. Further, since the hair winding cylinder B is fitted to the outer periphery of the heating vibrator 31, the hair winding cylinder B is also heated, and therefore dew condensation inside the hair winding cylinder B is also prevented.

The generation of steam is stopped by separating the water absorbing body 14 and the hot plate 11 as shown in FIG. Lever 18. The force is transmitted sequentially, and finally the tip of the lever 18 touches the tank lid 1.
By pushing one end of 3B, the hot plate 11 and water absorber 14
is released and steam generation stops.

Although it operates in this way, according to this structure, the water absorbing body 65 is provided between the attachment pipe 24 of the hair Se winding drum B and the heating vibrator 31 which becomes the steam jetting part, so it is assumed that dew condensation occurs between them. The water is also absorbed by the water absorbent body 65. Therefore, high-temperature condensed water does not fall, making it safe. Inside the heating pipe 31 is a heater 25 to prevent condensation.
However, this reduces condensation and further reduces the amount of condensed water falling. In addition, the position of the steam outlet hole 45a of the bristle table 45 of the hair winding body B is shifted from the position of the steam outlet hole 65a of the water absorber 65, which allows the steam to be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction and curling. It is easy to perform, and since steam does not blow out directly, the feeling of heat caused by steam is reduced. Heating vibrator 31. Attachment pipe 24. Water absorber 65. and steam ejection holes 31a, 24a of the bristle stand 45.

The area 5l-s4 of 45a and 65a is S1≦S2≦
Although S3≦S4, the steam flows smoothly to the outside.

Preventing condensed water from falling at the end of the heating vibrator 31 is performed as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, a sealing 42 is provided on a part of the tip cap 40 of the heating vibrator 31, so that the tip of the condensed water that has formed in the gap between the attachment pipe 24 and the heating vibrator 31 is removed. This prevents the objects from falling. In addition, a backing 50 is provided between the operator 29 and the lever 19, so that a gap α
This prevents steam from leaking and condensed water from falling. As shown in Fig. 7, when steam is generated, the spring 32
The backing 50 is pressed and can be sealed. Note that when the steam is stopped, it is not sealed as shown in Figure 8, but at this time there is no problem because no steam is generated. Falling is also prevented.

FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment. In this example, the bristle table 45 itself is made of a water absorbent. For example, the bristle table 45 is made of foamed rubber, foamed molded product, acrylic acid polymer, etc. Form.

With this configuration, the water absorption capacity can be further improved,
Reliable absorption of condensed water. The rest is the same as the first embodiment.

〔Effect of the invention〕
