Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair brush used as an attachment for a hair dryer called a hair setter for applying hot air to hair and performing the treatment. The hair is treated with the warm air that blows out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hair becomes softer when heated and heated.
There is a property that it can be hardened when it cools down and can be added. For this reason, the hair can be straightened or bent using a hair brush when the hair is warm, and when the hair is cooled as it is, the hair solidifies, and the hair can be straightened or curled. When warming or cooling this hair, the more tension the hair brush gives to the hair, the longer the hair will grow and the more easily the hair can be straightened and curled. Had been rare.

A hair brush which is used by attaching it to a hot air outlet of a hair dryer body so as to apply tension to hair is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-33253.

In this apparatus, thick hard bristles are projected on a brush base, a hot air outlet is provided there, and a non-slip member made of silicone rubber is attached to a side surface of the brush base.

[0005] When blowing or curling the hair, the hair is pressed against a non-slip member, and tension is applied to the hair by the frictional resistance.

[0006]

However, in this conventional hair brush, since tension is applied by pressing against the non-slip member, the hair slides on the surface of the non-slip member and only a small amount of tension can be applied. There has been a problem that it is difficult to apply hair to a desired shape.

Further, in this conventional hair brush, the hot air outlet is provided in the brushing portion, and since there is no hot air outlet at the non-slip member, it is possible to warm the hair while applying a strong tension to the tip of the hair. There was a problem that it was not possible and it was difficult to operate the hair tip as desired.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hair brush capable of performing a desired treatment while applying strong tension to the hair tip.

[0009]

Therefore, according to the present invention, a hot air flow path 6 through which hot air discharged from the hot air outlet flows through the brush base 3 is attached to the hot air outlet of the hair dryer body 2. A brushing portion 8 having thick hard bristles 4 erected on a brush base 3, and a bristle bundle 5 of waisted hair is planted on the side in the circumferential direction of the brushing portion 8. The hair brush was provided with a tension applying portion 9 having a large frictional resistance with the hair and capable of giving tension to the hair, and further provided with a hot air discharge port 7 communicating with the hot air flow passage 6 in the tension applying portion 9.

With a hair brush having such a configuration,
Since the tension imparting portion 9 has a hair bundle 5 made of stiff hair planted therein, the closer the brush base 3 is, the narrower the gap between the hair bundles 5 is, and the more the eyes are clogged. The more the hair bites into the hair bundle 5, the greater the frictional resistance with the hair. Therefore, strong tension can be applied to the hair. Furthermore, since the warm air discharge port 7 is provided in the tension applying section 9, it is possible to warm with hot air while applying a strong tension to the tip of the hair.

Further, the hair brush of the present invention is preferably such that, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, the hair tips of the hair bundle 5 are not trimmed. .

This makes it easier for the hair of the hair bundle 5 to bite into the hair.

Still further, the hair brush of the present invention
As described in claim 3, in addition to the above-described configuration, it is preferable that the hair of the hair bundle 5 is animal hair, and that the root is tied up and the hair tip is opened.

[0014] In this way, the hair tips of the hair bundle 5 are open, so that the hairs of the hair bundle 5 are more likely to bite into the hair.

[0015]

(Second Embodiment) FIGS. 3 and 4 show that the number of circumferential rows of the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying section 9 of the hair brush 1 shown in the first embodiment is changed from 5 rows to 2 rows, This is a second embodiment in which the intensity of the applied tension is changed. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which the hair brush 1 of the second embodiment is attached to the hair dryer body 2, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the hair brush 1 of the second embodiment.

The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the hair brush 1 of the first embodiment, so that the description is omitted. (Third Embodiment) FIG. 5 shows an example in which the cross-sectional shape of the brush base 3 of the hair brush 1 shown in the first embodiment is changed from a circle to an ellipse.

The brush base 3 of the hair brush 1 of this embodiment has a brushing portion 8 on the lower side from the center of the brush base 3 in which thick hard bristles 4 made of synthetic resin are erected.
Also, on both sides in the circumferential direction of the brushing portion 8, two rows of thin and waisted animal hair bundles 5 are planted, thereby forming a tension applying portion 9 having increased frictional resistance with the hair. .

The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the hair brush 1 of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted. (Fourth Embodiment) FIG. 6 shows a hair brush 1 shown in the third embodiment in which the hair bundle 5 of the animal hair of the tension applying part 9 is planted so as to be inclined to the back side. When brushing or blowing or curling
This is an example in which the hair is not carelessly hooked on the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying section 9.

The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the hair brush 1 of the third embodiment, so that the description is omitted. (Fifth Embodiment) FIG. 7 shows that the distance between the brushing part 8 and the tension applying part 9 of the hair brush 1 shown in the third embodiment is widened and the direction of the hair bundle 5 of animal hair is on the back side of the brush. This is an example in which the cross-sectional shape of the brush base 3 is changed to a flattened elliptical shape as compared with the third embodiment so as to be inclined.

In this way, as in the fourth embodiment, when the hair is being brushed by the brushing unit 8 or when the hair is blown or curled, the hair does not get on the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying unit 9. It doesn't get caught in preparation.

The other configuration is the same as that of the hair brush 1 of the third embodiment, and therefore, the description is omitted. (Sixth Embodiment) FIG. 8 shows an example in which the cross-sectional shape of the brush base 3 of the hair brush 1 shown in the first embodiment is changed to an elliptical shape so that the hair can be easily brushed. Further, in this embodiment, the brushing unit 8 of the tension applying unit 9
The distance between the hair bundles 5 in the circumferential direction where the hair bundles 5 are located is narrowed, so that a higher tension can be applied to the hair than other parts of the tension applying portion 9.

The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the hair brush 1 of the first embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The above is the description of the configuration of the hair brush shown as the embodiment.

The hard bristles 4 of the above embodiment may be formed integrally with the brush base 3 or may be formed separately and implanted in the brush base 3.

Next, an example of using the hair brush of this embodiment will be described based on the first embodiment. a. In the case of brushing Hold the hair dryer main body 2 so that the brushing part 8 of the hair brush 1 is on the scalp side, and hair is cut off along the scalp with the brushing part 8 of the hair brush 1 as shown in FIG. b. When Blowing Firstly, when the hair is brushed by the brushing unit 8, the hair is prepared.

The hair dryer body 2 is held, the root side of the hair is taken by the brushing part 8 of the hair brush 1, and the hair is firmly put on the brush base 3 of the brushing part 8 as shown in FIG. The brush 1 (hair dryer main body 2) is rotated about 1/4 turn and the hair is captured by scooping with the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying section 9. (See FIG. 11) When the hair brush 1 is pulled in a direction away from the scalp, the hair bites into the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying part 9, and the frictional resistance with the hair bundle 5 gradually increases. The hair becomes tensioned. (See FIG. 12) Next, the rotation of the hair dryer body 2 is stopped, and the hair brush 1 is further pulled straight in the direction (hair tip side) far from the scalp while blowing hot air blown out of the hot air outlet 7 onto the hair. To go.

Then, the hair is tensioned while being broken by the brushing unit 4, so that the hair can be blown smoothly without being entangled. c. In the case of curling First, the hair is brushed with the brushing unit 8 to prepare the hair.

Next, the hair dryer body 2 is held, the root side of the hair is taken by the brushing unit 8, and the hair is firmly placed on the brush base 3 of the brushing unit 8. At this time,
As shown in FIG. 10, the hair bites into the tension applying section 9 to apply a weak tension to the hair.

When the hair brush 1 is slid toward the tip of the hair as it is, and the hair brush 1 is further rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow in the portion where the curl is to be formed, the hair further penetrates into the tension applying section 9 and the state shown in FIG. 11 is obtained. .

While rotating the hair brush 1 little by little, warm hair blown from the warm air discharge port 7 is applied to the hair biting into the tension applying section 9.
The hair is curled to a large diameter when it is moved to the tip of the hair while rotating it little by little and the treatment is performed up to the tip of the hair.

When the hair brush 1 is pulled straight from the state shown in FIG. 11 in the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 11, the hair further penetrates into the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying section 9 as shown in FIG. It takes tension.

When the hair under great tension is applied to the hair brushed into the tension applying section 9 while rotating the hair brush 1 little by little, hot air blown out from the hot air discharge port 7 is applied to the hair, and the hair is treated up to the tip of the hair. The hair has a strong curl with a smaller diameter.

In the above state, if the rotation of the hairbrush 1 is stopped and hot air is blown, then the hairbrush 1 is switched to cool air and cooled as it is to form a strong curl having a smaller diameter.

Of course, in the case of long hair, the tension applying section 9
The hair can be wrapped around the hair brush 1 and then wrapped around the hair brush 1 to give it a habit. (See FIG. 13) The animal hair of the tension applying portion 9 is planted as a hair bundle, and the interval between the hairs is widened at the hair tip side, and the root portion has no gap. Has a curved surface, so that the hair is not bitten into the hair bundle 5 by simply breaking the hair, the frictional resistance is reduced, and the tension applied to the hair is weakened. However, when the brush is rotated, the hair is pulled to the root side of the hair bundle 5 and cuts into the back of the hair bundle 5, so that a strong frictional resistance is generated and a strong tension is applied to the hair.

As described above, if the hair brush of this embodiment is used, the desired tension can be freely applied to the hair, so that the three operations of brushing, blowing and curling can be performed by one. .

Although the embodiment has been described above, the bristle bundle 5 of the tension applying unit 6 is planted on the brush base 3 in a dot-like manner. .

Furthermore, the number and length of the rows of hard bristles 4 of the brushing section 8 shown in the embodiment, and the tension applying section 9
The number of rows of the bristle bundle 5, the material of the bristle to be used, the length of the bristle, and the cross-sectional shape of the brush base 3 are not limited to those shown in the embodiment, but may be appropriately determined as long as the above-described actions and effects are obtained. It can be changed arbitrarily.

Further, in the hair brush of the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the hair tips of the hair bundle 5 are not aligned in order to make it easier for the animal hair to bite into the hair. It can also be implemented.

Further, in the hair brush of the above-described embodiment, the hot air discharge port 7 is provided only in the tension applying section 9 and the hot air discharge port 7 is not provided in the brushing section 8, so that the strong force from the tension applying section 9 is obtained. Although the example in which the hot air is blown out has been described, the brushing unit 8 may be provided with the hot air discharge port 7 to implement. Further, the number of hot air discharge ports 7 of the tension applying section 9 can be arbitrarily changed.

Further, the hair bundle 5 of the tension applying portion 9
The material is not limited to animal hair, and synthetic resin hair such as nylon can be used, or animal hair and synthetic resin hair can be mixed and used. Furthermore, the hair bundle 5 can be formed by bundling hairs having different thicknesses.

[0050]

According to the hair brush of the present invention, as described above, the frictional resistance between the hair and the hair when the hair bites into the tension applying section 9 is large, so that not only can the hair be strongly tensioned but also the tension applying section can be provided. Since the hot-air outlet 9 is provided in 9, it is possible to apply warm air while applying a strong tension to the tip of the hair to warm the hair, and to perform hair treatment as desired.
