Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a comb.

In the past, in addition to regular combs, there were combs that loosened hair (for example, Utility Model Publication No. 50-40495) and combs with built-in heaters (for example, Utility Model Publication No. 41-20984); When applying curls or curling hair, there is a drawback that the operation is not easy and it is difficult to achieve the desired hair style.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a comb that is easy to use and can be used for combing, curling, raising and setting the comb.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 8. That is, this comb consists of a grip 1 and a pair of comb stands 2 and 3. First, the grip 1 consists of a pair of semi-cylindrical housings 4 and 5, and a pair of bosses provided on the housing 4 as shown in FIG. 6 and screw the tapping screw 7 to unite it. A connector cap 8 is attached to the rear end of the grip 1, and a rotary connector 9 is rotatably attached to the connector cap 8. A power cord 10 is led out to the rotary connector 9 through a bush 11. A cutout 12 is formed at the joint between the housings 4 and 5 at the center of the grip 1, and a power switch 13 is attached to the cutout 12, and its operation button 14 is attached to the cutout 12.
is exposed to the outside. Further, an opening/closing spring 15 is attached to the tip of the grip 1, and the spring opening/closing 15 is a substantially vertically elongated ring body with a predetermined width, and its lower end is fixed to the grip 1 with a screw 16, and an operating rod 17 constituting an operating means. A push button 18 is provided on the upper end of the operating rod 17, and a flange 19 is provided in the middle of the operating rod 17. Further, a notch 20 is formed at the joint of the grip 1 to pass through the portion between the push button 18 of the operating rod 17 and the flange 19, and a stopper 21 is provided at the lower part of the flange 19.

A pair of notches 22 and 22' are formed facing each other in the housing joint part of the distal end surface of the grip 1, and the proximal ends 23 of the comb holders 2 and 3 are passed through the notches 22 and 22' and fitted inside the opening/closing spring 15. Each is attached to both side plates of the opening/closing spring 15 in a cantilevered manner with screws 24. The opening/closing spring 15 has upper and lower ends having spring properties in the direction of vertical separation, and is maintained in a state in which the base ends 23 of the comb stands 2 and 3 are in contact with each other as shown in FIG. When the spring 15 is pushed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. As a result, the comb stands 2 and 3 are opened and closed in parallel to each other between a closed state as shown in FIG. 3 and an open state as shown in FIG. 1.

Each comb stand 2, 3 is made of a material with excellent heat resistance and thermal conductivity, such as metal, and is formed into a semi-cylindrical shape, and has a base end 23 attached thereto, and when the flat plate parts 25 come into contact with each other, one has a cylindrical shape, and has a flat plate part 2
Comb teeth 26 and 27 are implanted at the side edges of the comb stands 2 and 3 in an attitude perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the comb stands 2 and 3, and are arranged in one row each in the longitudinal direction. Each comb stand 2, 3 has a large number of small holes 28 on its surface, and there are support legs 28 inside.
The support cylinder 30 supported by 9 is supported, and the support cylinder 3
A heating element 31, which is an example of a PTC heater using a positive temperature coefficient thermistor, is housed inside the housing with an insulating cover 32 interposed therebetween. The lead wire 34 is drawn out into the grip 1 from the base end 23 of the comb stands 2 and 3 and connected to the connector cap 8 via the switch 13. Therefore, when the power cord 10 is connected to an outlet (not shown) and the heating element 31 is energized, the heating element 31 generates heat, and the heat is transmitted through the support tube 30 and the support legs 29 to each comb stand 2, 3. While heating the surface, hot air is ejected from the small holes 28.

FIG. 6 shows an example of using this comb to part hair A. That is, the comb teeth 26, 27 lined up in one row
With the comb stands 2 and 3 closed as shown in FIG.
Then, the comb teeth 26 and 27 open as shown in FIG. Therefore, you can separate your hair with a simple operation.

FIG. 7 shows how to set the rise of the hair in part B to make the hair floating. That is, with the comb stands 2 and 3 open, the comb is inserted into the hair C at the parting position, and the hair is sandwiched by releasing the push button 18 and closing the comb stands 2 and 3. In this state, the hair is raised and heated by the heating element 31 to effectively shape the hair. At this time, it may be set using hot air from a hair dryer.

FIG. 8 shows the case of curling. That is,
The hair D at the curled portion is sandwiched between the comb stands 2 and 3 and wound around the comb stands 2 and 3, and heated by a heating element 31. A hair dryer can also be used in this case.

It goes without saying that general combing operations can be performed, and hair drying can be effectively performed using the heating element 31. Furthermore, as a modification, an air blower or a steam generator may be built into the grip 1 so that hot air or steam can be emitted from the small holes 28.

As described above, the comb of the present invention has comb teeth each having a heating element therein and arranged in rows in the longitudinal direction, facing each other so that the longitudinal directions are parallel to each other, and protruding in the same direction. An operation that includes a pair of comb stands and an opening/closing spring that holds the base ends of these comb stands and brings them into contact in opposing directions, and that the pair of comb stands are separated in a parallel state against the opening/closing spring. Since it is equipped with a grip having a means, it has the following effects.

In other words, in addition to general combing operations, by opening a pair of comb holders with the operating means, the comb teeth can be used to separate the hair, and by sandwiching the hair between the comb holders and heating the hair with a heating element, it can be curled or erected. Since it can be easily set up, it has the effect of being easy to use.
