Description

Disposable hair-band with improved absorbency

The present invention relates to a disposable hair band worn over the face and neck to absorb the perm solution flowing down the hair and hair when applying the perm solution to the hair, and more specifically, for example, a coating agent, When applying the perm solution such as emulsifier or neutralizer to the hair, the absorbency is enhanced to absorb the perm solution flowing down more quickly, and the absorbed perm solution flows back to the skin side to minimize the discomfort felt by the wearer. A disposable hair band configured.

Conventional hair bands are in the form of elongated bands in which several layers of cloth are large and thick (typically 40 mm wide and about 5 mm thick). However, the hair band of the cloth material has a problem in that the absorbency of the hair band is not excellent due to the limit of the absorbency of the cloth member even though the total absorption area is considerably wider. In addition, the perm solution is not completely absorbed and collected in the cloth member, but some of the perm liquid is present on the cloth material, there is a problem that the wearer feels uncomfortable due to this. In addition, after using the hair band, the cloth member is contaminated by the perm solution, and the contaminated perm solution must be washed and removed, but the hair band can be reused. This permanently contaminated perm solution cannot be removed without a normal washing method. Furthermore, even when washing, lint occurs due to the nature of the material of the cloth member, or the means of bonding the ends of the hair band is applied to the beauty industry. Since it is soiled with a contaminant (hair, etc.) that can be commonly seen in, there was also a problem that reuse is greatly limited due to deterioration of hygiene or cleanliness.

In an attempt to solve this problem, Utility Model Publication No. 99-11905 discloses the use of a sponge as an absorbent member, and the upper and lower protrusions are formed at both ends of the non-absorbent strip member to improve the absorbency of the perm solution. A technique is disclosed. However, in the hair band of the document, there was still a problem that the perm solution absorbed from the upper protrusion was bleeded back to the forehead through the lower protrusion, causing discomfort to the hair band wearer. In addition, although the sponge, which is an absorbent member, is covered with a cloth member, as described above, the cloth member has low absorbency, and thus, the perm solution cannot be quickly transferred from the cloth member to the sponge, which is the absorbent member, and the perm liquid flowing down the skin is prevented. There was still a problem that the perm solution flowed back to the skin again in the first absorbing cloth member.

The present invention has been made to overcome the problems of the prior art, the absorption of the perm solution proceeds quickly, once absorbed perm solution is configured so as not to bleed back toward the forehead can be used conveniently without causing discomfort to the wearer An object of the present invention is to provide a disposable hair band.

The object of this invention is that a first liquid permeable layer having a front surface in contact with a user's skin and having a plurality of liquid permeable holes; A liquid absorbing layer positioned on a rear surface of the first liquid permeable layer and absorbing and containing a perm solution passing through the first liquid permeable layer; And a second liquid permeable layer located on the back side of the liquid absorbing layer and having a plurality of liquid permeable holes.

In addition, the first liquid permeable layer in the hairband is also achieved by a configuration characterized in that it comprises one or more grooves in the longitudinal direction, and has a hole at its upper end that can be connected to the rod.

Hereinafter, a disposable hair band according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a hair band of the first to third embodiments according to the present invention. As shown here, the hair bands of the first to third embodiments have a single elongated band shape having almost the same front and rear surfaces.

2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of FIG. 1. As shown here, the transmission layers 31 and 33 serve as a passage through which the perm solution is absorbed, and at the same time, serve as a kind of spacer that separates the absorbed perm solution from the wearer's skin. The absorption layer 32 serves to absorb and store the perm liquid absorbed through the transmission layers 31 and 33 in a liquid or solid phase.

3a shows a first embodiment of a hairband according to the invention. As shown here, the hair band of the present invention is composed of a first liquid permeable layer 31, an absorbent layer 32, and a second liquid permeable layer 33.

Returning to FIG. 2, the first liquid permeable layer 31 has a plurality of fine holes (not shown) evenly formed throughout the entire surface through which the perm solution can seep or pass. The perm solution flowing down the forehead or the skin surface is absorbed through the first liquid permeable layer 31. In the second liquid permeable layer 33, like the first liquid permeable layer 31, a plurality of fine holes (not shown) are formed. The second liquid permeable layer 33 is positioned adjacent to the outer surface of the second liquid permeable layer 33 when the perm fluid flowing from the rod or lifted hair part or when the hair band 20 is worn. Perm fluid flowing down from the hair is absorbed. In this way, the hair band of the present invention can absorb the perm solution from the skin side as well as the opposite side. On the other hand, the absorbent layer 32 is a portion that absorbs and contains the perm liquid absorbed through the first liquid permeable layer 31 or the second liquid permeable layer 33 in a liquid state or in a solidified form, and is absorbed by the absorbent layer 32. The perm solution is prevented from flowing back to the permeable layer 31 due to the absorption retention force of the absorbent layer, thereby reducing the discomfort caused by the perm liquid backflow.

In addition, the first liquid permeable layer 31 is provided with a groove 34 having a depth of about 2 to 3 mm in the longitudinal direction, as shown in FIG. 3A. The groove 34 serves to prevent the perm solution from flowing down from the top and to fix the absorbing layer 32 positioned between the first liquid permeable layer 31 and the second liquid permeable layer 33. . The grooves 34 are located in the longitudinal direction of the first liquid permeable layer 31, and may be one or more and the grooves 34 may be continuous, but may be intermittent.

In addition, the first liquid permeable layer 31 has a connecting portion 35 provided with connecting means so as to connect with the perm rod. The means for connecting the disposable hair band and the rod may use conventional connecting means 36 such as rubber bands. The connection part 35 serves to closely absorb the disposable hair band to the user to improve the wearing feeling of the user and at the same time to completely absorb the perm solution. The connection part 35 may be in the second liquid permeable layer 33 or the absorbent layer 32. Preferably, the connecting part 35 may be a tape, which may be a conventional connecting means 36, such as a rubber band, to the first liquid permeable layer 31, the second liquid permeable layer 33 or the first and second liquids. It is possible to adhere between the transmission layers 31 and 33.

The first liquid permeable layer 31 and the second liquid permeable layer 33 are porous foams, reticulated foams, hollow plastic films, natural fibers such as cotton fibers, and synthetic fibers such as polyester. Or from a wide range of materials, such as combinations thereof. In addition, the liquid permeable layers 31 and 33 may be composed of various kinds of woven and nonwoven fabrics. The liquid permeable layers 31 and 33 may be any hydrophobic material, and the hydrophobic material may be further treated with a surfactant or appropriately processed to further impart hydrophobicity to a desired level.

The first liquid permeable layer 31 and the second liquid permeable layer 33 may be made of the same material or different materials.

On the other hand, the absorbing layer 32 should be suitable for the liquid load in the intended use. Preferably it has an absorption capacity of about 300 mg or more. More preferably, an absorption capacity of about 400 mg.

Various types of hydrophilic materials can be used as the absorbing layer 32. For example, pulp, natural fibers such as cellulose fibers, synthetic fibers such as rayon, other polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, polypropylene fibers, gels and the like can be used.

In addition, the absorbent layer 32 may include a superabsorbent material uniformly or heterogeneously, and the superabsorbent material may be selected from natural polymers, synthetic polymers, and polymers modified therefrom. Preferably, an inorganic substance such as silica gel, or natural gum such as alginic acid or xanthan gum may be used. It may also be a mixture thereof.

The superabsorbent material may be in any form. Preferably in the form of discrete particles.

The superabsorbent material is preferably about 5%, preferably 10% or more based on the total weight of the absorbent layer.

On the other hand, as the material used for the absorbing layer 32, the first liquid permeable layer 31 and the second liquid permeable layer 33, various kinds of materials can be used, and those used in a combined form are preferable.

3B shows a modification of the first embodiment according to the present invention. That is, the same as in FIG. 3A except that there are two grooves 34 in the longitudinal direction on the first liquid permeable layer.

3C shows a modification of the first embodiment according to the present invention. That is, it is the same as FIG. 3A except that there are three grooves 34 in the longitudinal direction on the first liquid permeable layer.

3d shows a modification of the first embodiment according to the present invention. That is, it is the same as FIG. 3A except that there are a plurality of intermittent grooves 34 'in the longitudinal direction on the first liquid permeable layer.

4 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the second embodiment of the hair band according to the present invention. Same as the hairband according to FIG. 3A, except that the absorbing layers 42 and 43 have a double structure. In this case, since the absorbent layer has a double structure, the absorbed perm solution can be better contained in the absorbent layers 42 and 43, so that the risk of bleeding back into the wearer's skin can be much reduced. In this embodiment, the absorbing layers 42 and 43 and the transmitting layers 41 and 44 are the same as in the first embodiment.

5 shows a third embodiment of a hairband according to the invention. It is the same as the hairband according to FIG. 3 except that the absorbing layers 52, 53, 54 have a triple structure. In this case, since the absorbent layer has a triple structure, the perm solution absorbed through the first liquid permeable layer 51 is confined in the absorbent layers 52, 53, and 54 of the triple structure, thereby absorbing the absorbed perm solution. There is little fear that it will bleed back into the wearer's skin.

6a and 6b show a fourth embodiment of the hairband according to the invention.

It is the same as the hairband according to FIG. 3A except that the vinyl layer 40 having no micropores is attached to the outside of the two transmission layers of the hairband to surround the lower ends of the transmission layer and the absorption layer. As shown in FIG. 6B, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 6A, the vinyl layer 40 has a portion (the left portion in the figure, hereinafter referred to as “inside”) having a surface in contact with the forehead, and vice versa. Are formed to have different heights. That is, the inner surface is made high so as to prevent the absorbed perm liquid from sticking to the forehead, while the outer surface side has a smaller height to facilitate absorption of the perm liquid of the second liquid permeable layer 33 on the outer surface. Preferably the height of the inner surface is about 2/3 of the width of the hair band and the height of the outer surface is about 1/3 of the width of the hair band. In this embodiment, the permeable layer and the absorbent layer perform the perm liquid permeation and absorption functions in the same manner as in the first to third embodiments described above. In the hair band of the fourth embodiment configured as described above, once the perm solution is contained in the absorbent layer, the structure is such that it cannot escape out at all, thereby further reducing the possibility of the wearer feeling uncomfortable by the perm solution.

6C to 6E show modifications of the fourth embodiment in cross section. In FIG. 6C, the vinyl layer 40 is configured to be located between the transmission layer and the absorption layer so that it is not exposed to the outside. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6D, the vinyl layer 40 may be disposed such that its outer surface side is positioned between the absorber layer and the transmission layer, and the inner surface side may directly contact the forehead. In contrast, as shown in FIG. 6E, the vinyl layer 40 may be configured such that the outer surface side is between the transmission layer and the absorbing layer, and the outer surface side is exposed to the outside.

The hair band constructed as described above is manufactured by joining four sides of the permeable layer by a conventional method such as bonding processing so that an absorbing layer, for example, cotton or gel, is accommodated therein. When the transmissive layers 31 and 33 are made of cotton, the tensile strength of the material may be increased by chemical treatment or the like on the entire surface of the first transmissive layer 31 and the back of the second transmissive layer 33.

On the other hand, in the shape as shown in Figure 8, in order to fix the hair band to the head, fixing means as shown in Figures 7a and 7b is provided. As the fixing means, a tape 70 as shown in Fig. 7A can be used. In this case, a double-sided tape or the like may be used to easily fix the hair band 20 to the head. Also, as shown in FIG. 7B, a so-called "sticky" 71 or the like may be used. Both fixing means have the advantage of allowing the hair band 20 to be easily worn.

According to the present invention, the permeate layer and the absorbent layer are separated so that the permeate liquid permeated into the absorbent layer does not flow back to the skin, thereby minimizing the discomfort that the wearer can feel due to the perm liquid backflow, and can be worn hygienically and easily. Can provide a disposable hair band.
