Description

Hair iron

The present invention relates to a hair iron, and more particularly, the upper and lower tongues can hold the hair at an appropriate pressure without applying external force, so that the hair cleaning operation can be easily performed, and especially for a long time. It also relates to a hair iron that can minimize the fatigue phenomenon such as wrist and shoulder joint of the operator even in the operation.

In general, the hair iron is used to form various types of waves on the hair by using heat generated from a heater, or, on the contrary, to straighten curly or wavy hair in a straight line. It is a kind of beauty equipment widely used for the purpose of maintaining for a long time by transforming it into a shape desired by the user.

In particular, long hair women can not only manage their hair relatively easily without the help of a professional hairdresser to achieve a good hairstyle, but also hair in a relatively short time, unlike a perm that requires long-term treatment with chemicals. You can easily change the style and produce the style you want, and the curls are more natural than the wave of the perm that uses rods, so you can create an elegant hair design.

These hair irons are provided in various forms, and their general form is shown in FIG. This is provided by a hinge 14 so that a pair of rod-

shaped tongues

11 and 12 each having hot plates 13 heated by a heater (not shown) face each other. One end is rotatably connected, and takes the form of tongs moderately opened by elastic means (not shown).

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 1B, the operator U holds the hinge 14 portions of the upper and

lower tongues

11 and 12 by hand and exerts an external force so that both are retracted, thereby providing an appropriate amount of hair between the two hot plates. In the state of picking up (H), it is common to shape the hair (H) in a desired shape by pulling the iron (10) in a straight line or while rotating.

However, the conventional hair iron 10 having such a configuration includes various problems as follows because the hair H is gripped by applying external force to the upper and

lower tongues

11 and 12.

First, in order to mold the hair (H) as a whole good, it is necessary to apply a constant external force to the upper and lower tongues (11) (12) holding the hair (H) to maintain a constant, the size of the external force according to the operator (U) Not only could be different, but it was more difficult to keep the external force constant during the procedure.

Because of this, it is very difficult to mold the hair (H) to the desired hairstyle, in particular, the molding deviation of the hair (H) is severely generated according to the skill of the operator (U) it was difficult to secure the reliability of the product.

Second, since the uniform external force transmission to the upper and lower tongues (11, 12) is difficult, the upper and lower tongues (11, 12) are also likely to open during the procedure, in which case the heat of hair (H) Since it is not properly delivered, it is easy to cause partial molding defects on the hair (H).

Third, in order to operate the iron 10, as shown in FIG. 1B, the operator U holds the upper and

lower tongues

11 and 12 with an appropriate force by hand in a state in which the operator U raises the arm. Should be pulled out, if the procedure is prolonged for a long time, the wrist and shoulder joints of the operator (U) easily tired, and if long lasting there is a lot of concerns that lead to disease.

Fourth, the upper and lower tongues (11, 12) has a configuration that is fixed in a straight form, according to the position of the hair (H) to be treated, as shown in Figure 1b between the iron (10) and the hair (H) Since the angle θ is formed, uniform molding is difficult.

Fifth, accordingly, for uniform molding, as shown in FIG. 1C, the arm of the operator U is further lifted up and the wrist is excessively positioned so that the upper and

lower tongues

11 and 12 are positioned parallel to the hair H. Because the procedure can only be folded, the procedure is very difficult, and the fatigue of the operator (U) is not only severe but also leads to disease.

After all, due to various problems as described above, the general self except the professional beauty shop is acting as a cause of the user's avoidance of use.

On the other hand, Figure 1d shows another form of the conventional hair iron 20, which is provided with a circular heating rod 22 with a heater (not shown) built in the front of the handle 21, this heating rod It is the structure which connected the circular arc-shaped tongs 23 by the hinge 24 so that the outer peripheral part of 22 may be elastically wrapped.

Hair iron 20 of this form, by pressing the pressing piece (23a) provided in the tongs plate 23 during the procedure to rotate the tongs plate 23 to open the heating rods 22, and the heating rods 22 and By inserting an appropriate amount of hair between the tongs 23 and removing the external force applied to the tongs 23, the hair is elastically picked up so that it can be molded more conveniently.

However, since the hair iron 20 has a circular heating rod 22 and only a part of the tong plates 23 surrounds the hair rod 20, the operator's hand or other body part touches the exposed heating rod 22 during the procedure, thereby causing burns. The risk of wearing is very high.

In addition, since the heating rod 22 has a configuration in which the heating rod 22 is fixed to the handle 21 in a straight line like the conventional iron 10 described above, hair and angle are formed according to the position of the hair to be treated, so that uniform molding may be difficult. In addition, the patient's arms and wrists are excessively lifted and bent to perform the procedure, so there is a fear of causing disease due to extreme fatigue.

The present invention was devised to solve such a conventional problem, and the hair can be easily and accurately treated in a desired form by maintaining the hot plates adhered to a constant pressure without applying external force to the upper and lower tongues. Its purpose is to provide a hair iron.

Another object of the present invention is a hair iron that allows the upper and lower tongues to be generally parallel to the hair, regardless of the position of the hair, so that the operator can treat the hair uniformly and stably without lifting the arm excessively. To provide.

The elastic means of this first embodiment may be preferably composed of a torsion spring interposed between the hinge portions of the upper and lower tongues.

In addition, according to a second embodiment of the hair iron according to the present invention for achieving the above objects, a heating plate heated by a heater is installed on one side, the pivoting lever is bent to the outside at the rear end, the hinge in the middle An upper tongue having a boss formed thereon; A hot plate heated by a heater is installed to face the hot plate of the upper tongue, and a hinge boss assembled with the hinge boss of the upper tongue is formed in the middle, and a lower tongue having a rotating lever bent outward at the rear end thereof. ; Elastic means for elastically biasing each pivoting lever of the upper and lower tongues in opposite directions such that the hot plates of the upper and lower tongues are in close contact with each other; One side is opened while accommodating the hinge coupling portion and the pivoting levers of the upper tongue and the lower tongue so that the upper tongue and the lower tongue are extended out, and the hinge bosses of the upper tongue and the lower tongue are coupled by a hinge axis. A handle in which a lever slot is formed so that the rear end of the pivoting lever can be drawn out; Characterized in that comprises a.

According to a preferred feature of the second embodiment of the hair iron of the present invention, the lever slot of the handle is formed to a sufficient size, so that the upper and lower tongues can flow up and down with respect to the handle by a predetermined angle. Accordingly, when the iron procedure is performed, the operator can place the upper and lower tongues in parallel with the hair, regardless of the position of the hair, without excessively lifting the arm and bending the wrist. It becomes possible.

In addition, according to another preferred feature of the second embodiment, the elastic means is composed of a torsion spring interposed between the hinge portions of the upper and lower tongues, or two coil springs that individually repel each pivoting lever. It may be, or any.

However, when the elastic means is composed of two coil springs, the sum of its weights is set larger than the elasticity of the coil springs so that the upper and lower tongues can flow with respect to the handle.

According to the present invention, since the upper and lower tongues are elastically in close contact with each other, the hair can be stably picked up stably without any external force during the procedure and can be easily and accurately performed at uniform pressure throughout the day.

Accordingly, regardless of the skill of the operator, anyone can shape the hair in a desired shape, and fatigue on the joints such as the wrist and the shoulder is greatly reduced.

In addition, the hair iron of the present invention, the upper and lower tongues flow up and down by a predetermined angle with respect to the handle bar, the upper and lower tongues are positioned substantially parallel to the hair, regardless of the position of the treatment of the hair, the operator excessively arms You can easily and accurately perform the procedure without lifting the wrist.

Therefore, the present invention greatly improves the reliability and ease of use of the hair iron, as well as an excellent effect that can contribute greatly to the purchasing power of the general self-operator as well as a professional beauty shop.

lower tongues

210 and 220 in close contact by the torsion spring 240, respectively, integrally. The

hinge bosses

213 and 223 provided at the fixed ends of the pivot levers 212 and 222 are integrally assembled by the hinge shaft 230 to extend the upper and lower tongues 210 and 220. ) Are connected to each other in a rotatable manner.

Rotating

levers

212 and 222 of the upper tongue 210 and the lower tongue 220 are configured such that their free ends are inclined in a direction away from each other, so that the two

lever slots

253 and 254 of the handle 250 will be described later. Protrudes through the side of the handle 250 through the outside, the

pressing pieces

214, 224 are attached to the end of each pivoting lever (212, 222).

The torsion spring 240 is interposed on the hinge portion between the pivoting

levers

212 and 222 of the upper tongue 210 and the lower tongue 220 and the

hot plates

211 and 221 of the upper and lower tongues 210 and 220. ) Close to a certain elasticity.

The handle 250 is formed of, for example, a combination of upper and

lower bodies

251 and 252, and is open at one end thereof so that the fixed ends of the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 are inserted. In addition, a pair of

lever slots

253 and 254 are formed on both sides of the opening side so that the pivoting

levers

212 and 222 of the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 protrude outwardly, respectively. do.

Preferably, the opening inner ends of the handles 250 and the

slots

253 and 254 are arranged in a straight line with the handle 250 and the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220, as shown in solid lines in FIG. 7A. In the state, the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 are spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the pivoting

levers

212 and 222, respectively.

This is to impart a flow margin so that the upper and

lower tongues

212 and 222 can be flowed by an angle in both of the opening directions with respect to the handle 250, as shown in FIG.

In addition, the opening of the handle 250 is also provided with a free space so that the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 can flow in a predetermined angle in both directions in close contact.

However, in this second embodiment, the elastic means for contacting the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 is composed of a torsion spring 240, thereby suppressing the indiscriminate flow of the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220. To this end, it is more preferable to include the leaf springs 243 supporting the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220, respectively, in the handle 250. In this case, the elasticity of the leaf spring 243 is configured to be smaller than the elasticity of the torsion spring 240 so that the upper and

lower tongues

Therefore, there is no need to apply an external force during the procedure, and the procedure can be performed easily and accurately while holding the handle 250 lightly, and the

hot plates

211 and 221 are not exposed, so there is almost no risk of burns.

Moreover, the second embodiment is the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 can be moved up and down with respect to the handle 250 by an angle, as shown in Figure 8 the upper and

lower tongues

210, 220 By being properly rotated by this weight, it can be positioned substantially parallel to the hair.

Accordingly, the procedure can be performed very simply and stably regardless of the treatment position of the hair, and it is possible to perform the procedure easily without excessively lifting the arm or bending the wrist as in the conventional art.

Figures 9a and 9b schematically show another form of this second embodiment of the hair iron 200 of the present invention. This means that in the above-described configuration of the second embodiment, the elastic means for bringing the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220 into close contact with the pivoting

levers

212 and 222 of the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220, respectively, instead of the torsion springs. It is composed of two coil springs 241 to be connected to the handle 250.

The elasticity of these coil springs 241 is configured to be smaller than the sum of the weights of the upper and

lower tongues

210 and 220, so that the upper and

lower tongues
