Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a device that burns liquefied gas using a catalyst in a heating cylinder attached to a handle, and uses the combustion heat to condition hair.

This type of hair conditioner has a liquefied gas tank with a combustion valve inside the handle, a catalytic member inside the heating cylinder attached to the handle, and an ignition device such as a battery or piezoelectric device that allows the liquefied gas to flow from the nozzle valve. The outflowing liquefied gas is ignited and the catalyst member is heated by the combustion heat generated at the time, the flame is extinguished by once closing the tinder valve, and then the tinder valve is opened again to cause the liquefied gas to flow out to the catalytic member. , the heating cylinder is internally heated to a temperature suitable for hair styling by combustion in a flameless state.

A drawback of such catalytic combustion is that since combustion occurs in a flameless state, it is difficult for the user to check whether or not combustion is occurring by looking at the presence or absence of flames. Therefore, combustion can be confirmed by changing the position of the ignition control lever, or by turning on a small pilot lamp if a battery is used for the ignition system.

However, when a piezoelectric device is used as an ignition device, a pilot lamp cannot be provided, and the position of the ignition control lever alone cannot be trusted, and some users confirm combustion by operating the lever. Many people try. As a result, the tinder valve closed and combustion was interrupted, and unless the ignition control lever was returned to the starting position and the lever was operated, combustion would not occur, which could lead to misidentification as defective products. .

This invention was devised in order to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and provides a hair conditioner that allows the user to directly confirm combustion by having a red-hot pilot member inside. It is something.

This invention for the above purpose is to attach a heating cylinder to which a brush or the like can be attached to a handle, a liquefied gas tank having a tinder valve inside the handle, and a nozzle of the tinder valve to face the catalyst member inside the heating cylinder. The hair conditioner is characterized in that a pilot member that generates red heat is provided between the nozzle valve and the catalyst member, and a viewing window of the pilot member is provided at a required location in the lower part of the heating cylinder.

This invention will be explained in detail below using illustrated examples.

In the figure, 1 is a heating cylinder with a brush 2 attached to its outer periphery, which is attached to a hollow handle 3. Also, heating tube 1
A holding member 5 connected to a cap member 4 fitted at the tip thereof, and a lattice or honeycomb-shaped catalyst member 6 inserted and fixed into the lower end of the holding member 5 are housed inside.

7 is a liquefied gas tank having a crater valve 8;
The nozzle 8a of the crater valve 8 is the catalyst member 6.
It is provided inside the handle 3 together with the ignition device 9 at a position facing the handle.

A pilot member 10 is provided between the nozzle valve 8 and the catalyst member 6, and is made of a material that becomes red hot when heated.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show the pilot member 10.
FIG. 2 shows an example in which one end of a metal wire 11 is formed into a coil shape to form a pilot member 10, and the wire portion is further bent and inserted into a catalyst member 6. This figure shows a case where the pilot member 10 is fixed to the catalyst member 6 using elasticity.

FIG. 3 shows a metal wire 11 having a pilot member 10 formed at one end, a hook 12 formed at the other end, and a catalyst member 6 inserted through the metal wire 11.
Hook 12 is hung on the upper side of catalyst member 6,
This shows the case where the pilot member 10 is fixed to the catalyst member 6.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a viewing window, which is provided in the portion of the heating cylinder 1 where the pilot member 10 is located.
3, the internal pilot member 10 can be seen.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an electrode of the ignition device 9, which forms a discharge gap between it and the nozzle 8a of the nozzle bulb 8. Reference numeral 15 denotes an operator provided on the side of the handle 3, which controls both the opening and closing of the tinder valve 8 and the igniter 9.
Although not shown, it operates via a lever member.

Next, the effect will be explained. When the operator 15 is slid with a fingertip, the crater valve 8 opens and liquefied gas flows out from the nozzle 8a. Next, the ignition device 9 is activated to generate a spark between the electrode 14 and the nozzle 8a, igniting the liquefied gas and causing combustion. This combustion heats the catalyst member 6 and the pilot member 10. Once the catalyst member 6 has been sufficiently heated, the operator 15 is slid to change its position, and the nozzle valve 8 is temporarily closed to temporarily stop combustion. Thereafter, the nozzle valve 8 is opened again using the operator 15, and the liquefied gas flows out from the nozzle 8a to the catalyst member 6, and the catalyst member 6 performs combustion.
Combustion by this catalyst does not generate flame, and the catalyst member 6
Only the pilot member 10 that is in contact with the pilot member 10 becomes red hot due to heating. Therefore, when the pilot member 10 is seen in a red-hot state through the viewing window 13, it can be known that combustion is occurring within the heating cylinder.

As mentioned above, this idea includes installing a red-hot pilot member between the crater valve of the liquefied gas tank built into the handle and the catalyst member installed inside the heating cylinder, and installing pilot members at required locations at the bottom of the heating cylinder. Since it is equipped with a viewing window, combustion can be confirmed through the viewing window. In addition, the pilot member is made of red-hot material,
The structure is simple because it only needs to be provided below the catalyst member, and it has the advantage of not interfering with combustion.
