Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a steam generator (steamer) for hair curlers.

The applicant of the present invention has already filed an invention for a method for curling hair according to Japanese Patent Application No. 56-212698. This is a method in which high-temperature steam is introduced through the body, and the steam is used to curl the hair wrapped around curlers, and of course a steam generator is also used here.

The present invention relates to an improvement of a steam generator used in such a hair curling method, and aims to further promote the generation of steam and provide a safe device.

The structure and operation of the present invention will be explained based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a vessel of any shape and size, which contains water. Reference numeral 2 denotes a lid attached to the upper periphery of the vessel 1, which has a peripheral flange 3 at its center.
An opening 4 is formed by leaving a hole 5. A steam generating pot 5 is inserted and removed from the vessel body 1 through the opening 4. This generating pot is formed by an outer cylindrical portion 6.
The water chamber 9 is formed by the vessel body 1, and each of these cylindrical parts is arranged to separate the inside of the water chamber 9 except for its bottom.
It is divided into four water chambers: a, b, c, and d.
The water chamber 9 has a bottom portion 10 which is open to the entire surface. Water flows from the outside to the innermost cylindrical portion 8.
The water flows toward the bottom of the innermost cylinder 8. Numeral 11 denotes a number of water holes provided in the bottom surface 8' of the innermost cylinder 8. Numeral 12 denotes a lid of the pot 5. The side surface of the lid is connected to an inner frame 13.
The inner frame 13 is made up of an outer frame 14 and a mounting table 15 is horizontally installed on the upper surface of the outer frame 14.
and an upper surface plate formed between the upper end portion of the outer frame portion 14,
A through hole 17 is provided in a part of this upper plate. Reference numeral 18 denotes a mounting plate provided horizontally at the center of the pot 5 from the lower end of a part of the inner frame portion 14. An upper end 20' is attached to this mounting plate 19, and an electrode 20 is installed in the center of the water chamber d of the innermost cylindrical portion 8. This electrode 20
A carbon electrode receives AC input through a plug, and generates heat by utilizing the resistance of the water between the carbon electrodes through a power cord to generate steam. 21 is a crimp terminal provided on the upper end of the electrode 20, to which a power cord 22 is connected. 23... is the mounting table 15 described above.
2 denotes a main steam outlet provided directly above the through hole 17 of the upper plate 16, and a plurality of main steam outlets are provided around a central projection 24. Numerals 25... denote a plurality of auxiliary steam outlets provided in other parts of the mounting stand 13. Numeral 26 denotes a hair curler made entirely of synthetic resin, and a hollow core 28 connected to the central parts of the left and right rims 27, 27 is surrounded by a soft porous material 29, and only one of the rims 27 is provided with an opening 30 communicating with the hollow core 28. This curler 2
The hair curler 6 is provided with an arch-shaped cap 31 to cover the hair when it is curled, and if necessary, a separate clip of approximately the same length as the core body is used to hold the hair in place in the part not covered by the cap 31.

Therefore, when using the steamer of the present invention, first fill the container 1 with enough water and then turn on the power. Then, the water inside the vessel is heated from the water chamber 9d of the innermost cylindrical portion 8 having the electrode 20, and the water becomes steam and evaporates. When the amount of water in the water chamber 9d gradually decreases, the amount of water in the water chamber 9d is replenished from the water chamber 9c of the inner cylinder part 7 outside, and then from the water chamber 9b of the outer cylinder part 6 outside. The water is replenished from the water chamber 9a outside the cylindrical part 6, thereby heating all the water, and the water vapor generated in the innermost cylindrical part 8 evaporates from the discharge hole 17 in the upper part. go. Then, this water vapor is first released to the outside from the main steam generation port 23 directly above the main steam generation port 23, and is also released from the auxiliary steam generation port 25 located on the side thereof.

Therefore, the opening 30 of one rim 27 of the curler 26 is inserted into the central protrusion 24 of the main steam generation port 23 . Then, the water vapor enters the hollow core 28 from the outlet ports 23 around the protrusions through the opening 30 of the rim 27, and permeates into the surrounding porous material 29 through the holes provided on the circumferential surface of the core. do. This brings the porous material 29 into a high temperature and high humidity state. At the same time, if an arch-shaped cap 31 is placed over the upper surface of the auxiliary steam generation port 25, water vapor is released from here as well, enters the recess of the cap 31, and heats it.

Therefore, hair is first wound around this curler 26, and then a cap 31 is attached with the hair portion inside. This will create a curl after a few seconds, so you can repeat this.

In this way, the present invention comprises an appropriate number of cylindrical parts 6, 7, 8 that partition the water chamber 9 inside the container through its bottom 10 in the steam generation pot 5 installed inside the container 1 for storing water. An electrode 20 is installed in the innermost cylindrical part 8, and a large number of water holes 11 are provided on the bottom surface of this cylindrical part, and a plurality of water holes 11 are provided in the innermost cylindrical part on the upper surface mounting base 15 of the lid part 12 of the pot. A discharge hole 1 communicating with the main steam generation port 23 and the auxiliary steam generation port 25
7, the water chamber inside the first vessel is partitioned by multiple cylinders, so the cold water is heated in order starting from the water chamber where the electrode is located. The entire body is heated in a very short time, which is extremely effective in promoting the generation of water vapor.Secondly, a large number of water passage holes 11... Because we have set up
When you lift the pot to remove it from the container, all the water in the water chamber is drained immediately, and even if your fingertips accidentally touch the bottom of the bottomed innermost cylinder, there is no risk of electric shock. Thirdly, since there are two steam generation ports on the top surface, it is possible to heat and humidify the curler and its cap, which are necessary for curling hair, at the same time, which is extremely quick. This makes it possible to perform curling work, which has a great practical effect.
