Reference numeral 6 designates a seat supporting table supporting arm, one end of which is provided with the seat supporting table 10, and the other end of which is fixed to the leg part 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the barber or beauty chair 20, on which the person to be washed is seated, and the seat back of which can be freely tilted is attached to the seat supporting table 10. The barber or beauty chair 20 is provided with an engaging part 21 to be engaged with an attaching part 18. The engaging part 21 is engaged with the attaching part 18 of the seat supporting table 10, whereby the barber or beauty chair 20 is fixed to the seat supporting table 10.
A structure of the seat supporting table [0026] 10 will be described in details with referring to FIGS. 3(a) and 3(b).
A sliding plate [0027] 11(a sliding part) is composed of an attaching part 18 for attaching the barber or beauty chair 20, a connecting part 12 for connecting rollers 13 for sliding the sliding plate 11 to the sliding part 11 with each other, and a sliding power controlling part for controlling sliding power required for sliding the sliding plate 11, when the sliding plate 11 slides along a guide rail 14.
Further, the [0028] guide rail 14 extends perpendicularly to a seat back face of the barber or beauty chair attached to the seat supporting table 10, to be served as a track when the rollers 13 slide.
Further, the sliding power controlling part is composed of a sliding [0029] power controlling bolt 15, a spring 30, and a slider 16.

A sliding motion in the seat supporting table [0030] 10 for a barber or beauty chair accompanied by performing a shampoo with employing a hair washer with the seat supporting table for the barber or beauty chair according to the first embodiment will be described with referring to FIG. 4.
FIG. 4([0031] a) is a view illustrating that the seat supporting table 10 for a barber or beauty chair according to the embodiment 1 is slid. FIG. 4(b) is a view illustrating the seat supporting table 10 is slid to the original position from the slid position illustrated in FIG. 4(a). Further, in FIG. 4, the same reference numerals and characters as those in FIG. 3 designate the same or corresponding parts. So, the descriptions will be omitted.
Initially, the hair washer with the seat supporting table for a barber or beauty chair according to the first embodiment is in a stored state illustrated in FIG. 4([0032] b).
The person for performing a hair washing (not shown) makes a person to be washed (not shown) sit on the barber or [0033] beauty chair 20 fixed to the attaching part 18 of the sliding plate 11 of the seat supporting table 10, and tilts the seat back of the barber or beauty chair 20 so that the person to be washed lies down with his neck on the neck receiving part 4 of the ball part 3.
At this timing, when the person to be washed is tall, the person for performing a hair washing pushes the seat back of the barber or [0034] beauty chair 20 in a opposite direction toward the hair washer. Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 4(a), the sliding plate 11 of the seat supporting table 10, to which the barber or beauty chair 20 is attached, is slid to an appropriate position where the neck of the person to be washed can be appropriately received by the neck receiving part 4. Further, the sliding power controlling bolt 15 is loosened or tightened, thereby controlling the sliding power required for sliding the barber or beauty chair 20.
The control of the sliding power can be realized as follows. When the sliding [0035] power controlling bolt 15 is loosened, power of pressing down the slider 16 to the sliding plate 17 is slightly weakened, thereby lowering frictional force between the slider 16 and the sliding plate 17. On the contrary, when the sliding power controlling bolt 15 is tightened, the frictional force between the slider 16 and the sliding plate 17 is increased.
As described above, according to the hair washer with the seat supporting table for the barber or beauty chair of the first embodiment, the barber or [0036] beauty chair 20 is attached to the seat supporting table 10 which slides forward and backward, thereby sliding the barber or beauty chair, even when the seat of the barber or beauty chair is provided with no sliding function Therefore, the person to be washed can be shampooed in a comfortable position, regardless of his height.
Further, the hair washer with the seat supporting table for a barber or beauty chair according to the first embodiment has a structure in which the engaging [0037] part 21 of the barber or beauty chair 20 is fixed with engaged with the attaching part 18 Of the seat supporting table 10.
