is attached to the main body A and is prevented from rotating.

Further, a gasket 21 is attached to the tip of the casing 1 to prevent backflow of steam from the hair winding cylinder B.

Next, a mechanism for generating and stopping steam will be explained. This includes a lever 29 disposed at the tip of the heating vibrator 31 of the main body A so as to be slidable in the axial direction, a lever 19 disposed along the outer surface of the heating pipe 31,
The lever 18 is disposed inside the main body A along the outer surface of the heater case 10. The lever 19, whose rear end passes through the gasket 21, is connected to the lever 29 at its tip so that it can slide freely in the axial direction of the heating vibrator 31, and between it and the tip of the heater pipe 26. A return spring 32 disposed in the cap 40 urges the operator 29 in a direction that causes it to protrude from the tip of the cap 40. The tip of the lever 18 is in contact with the rear end of the lever 19 and is biased by a return spring 22, and the rear end is in contact with the protrusion 1 on the water storage tank 13.
It can freely come into contact with 3C.

When the levers 19 and 18 are moved backward by pushing the end surface of the lever 29, the water storage tank 13 is also moved back, releasing the water absorbing body 14 from the hot plate 11 as shown in FIG. 4, and the lever 29 is returned to its original position. When this is done, the water storage tank 13 returns to its original position under the bias of the pressure spring 7, thereby bringing the water absorbing body 14 into contact with the hot plate 11. To generate steam, the water absorbing body 14 needs to be brought into contact with the hot plate 11, and to stop steam generation, the water absorbing body 14 can be moved away from the hot plate 11, and when the steam is to be stopped continuously. , once the operator 29 is pushed in so that the operator 29 does not have to be kept pressed; a cam 30 rotatably mounted around the pongee 29a of the operator 29
The pushed-in state is maintained by engagement with the bottle 39 protruding from the inner surface of the cap 40.

However, in this hair curler, when the power switch 5 is turned on after storing the water storage tank 13 filled with water in the casing 1, the heater 9 and the heater 25 are energized, and the operator 29 is turned on. If it is in the pushed-in state, push it again to return it, move the water storage tank 13 forward, and push the tip surface 14 of the water absorbent body 14 forward.
a is brought into contact with the rear end surface 1ibt of the hot plate 11. hot plate 11
The water held in the water absorbing body 14 is heated by contact with the steam nozzle lla and reaches the inside of the heating pipe 31 through the cavity 11C of the hot plate 11.

By heating with the heater 25, the steam passes through the heating pipe 31 without condensation, passes through the steam outlet 31a, and further passes through the steam outlet 24a of the pipe 24 of the hair wrapping body B to the outside. released. If the operator 29 is pushed in, the generation of steam will stop at that point.

To curl the hair, first, the steam is generated, the hair is wound around the hair wrap 1@B while the steam is being generated, and the hair is fixed with the hair holding plate 80. When this is finished, press the grinder 29 to stop the steam, wait 10 seconds, and let it dry naturally.゛After this, curling is completed by unwinding the hair BIB.

Here, the steam jet hole 31a in the heating pipe 31 and the steam jet hole 2 in the pipe 24 of the hair winding body B
4a are provided so that their positions match, but as mentioned above, the steam jet hole 24a is not on the surface facing the hair presser plate 80, and is located between the hair presser plate 80 and the pipe 24. Steam is not supplied to the contact area, and therefore, there is no possibility of steam condensation at the contact area.

By the way, in this embodiment, the lever 19 is disposed along the outer surface of the heating pipe 24, and this lever 19 is located on the opposite side of the hair holding plate 80 in the circumferential direction of the hair wrap IB. That's what I do. This is because if the lever 19, which has a large heat capacity, is placed in the same position as the hair holding plate 80, the temperature distribution in the circumferential direction of the heating pipe 24 will vary widely. , which aims to equalize the heat.

The embodiment shown in FIG.
By locating the steam outlet near the steam outlet 31a, condensation of the steam near the steam outlet 31a and 24a is prevented.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the steam ejection holes in the hair wrapping part are provided in a portion other than the surface facing the hair holding plate, and the hair holding plate and the hair wrapping Since the steam is not supplied to the contact area with the hair plate, and even if it reaches this contact area, the amount is small, the steam condenses due to contact with the hair press plate, which has a large heat capacity, and becomes hot water droplets. Therefore, it does not cause dripping, and is highly safe against burns.
