Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a steam hair curler.

[Conventional technology]

A conventional example is shown in FIG. That is, 1 is a steam generating section, 2 is a blower, 3 is a hair winding drum, and 4 is a hair curling device main body.
The steam is discharged from the steam jet hole 3a.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in this steam hair curler, when the blower 2 is stopped and steam is ejected, a large amount of steam tends to be generated from the steam outlet 3a of the hair winding body 3 near the hair curler body 4 side, and the steam is Discharge distribution tends to be uneven,
This has the problem of giving the user a burning sensation and making the curling performance unstable. In addition, the condensed water generated on the hair winding body 3a is removed from the steam outlet 3a.
The problem was that it dripped from the water.

In addition, there are steam hair curlers in which short fibers are implanted on the outer periphery of the hair winding body 3 (for example,
−2893). However, this device also has the same drawbacks as the conventional example because the steam outlet 3a is open on the surface.

In addition, there were some products in which a porous body was attached to the outer periphery of a hair wrapping body that had a steam outlet (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-6897), but it is not easy to provide a porous body on a hair wrapping body that has a winding protrusion. There was a drawback.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to be able to eject steam uniformly from the steam ejection hole, to prevent dripping of condensed water, and to have a winding protrusion on the outer peripheral surface of the hair winding body. To provide a steam hair curler that can easily provide a porous body even if the hair is curled.

[Means to solve the problem]

The steam hair curler of the present invention includes a steam generating section, a hair curling body formed with a steam ejection hole through which steam from the steam generating section is ejected, and a number of winding protrusions protruding from the outer circumferential surface thereof, A porous body such as felt is attached to the inside of the steam ejection hole of the body.

[Effect]

According to the structure of the present invention, the porous body allows steam to be diffused throughout the hair body, allowing steam to be ejected uniformly from all the steam ejection holes, and also preventing dripping of condensed water on the hair body. This can be prevented by using a porous material. Further, by providing the porous body inside the hair wrapping body, the porous body can be easily provided even in the case of a hair wrapping body having winding protrusions on the outer circumferential surface.

〔Example〕

A first embodiment of this invention will be described based on FIG. That is, in this steam hair curler, 5 is the hair curler body, 6 is a suction port, 7 is a blower consisting of a motor and a fan, and 8
9 is a steam generating part, and 9 is a hair winding body. This hair winding drum 9 has winding protrusions 10 all over its outer peripheral surface, and the entire circumference of the drum serves as a steam jetting section, with an addendum of steam jetting holes 11 formed at regular intervals. Further, a porous material 12 such as felt or open-cell foam is adhered to the entire inner surface of this steam ejecting portion. The hair winding cylinder 9 has a connection port 13 attached to a discharge port 14 of the hair curler main body 5. The steam generating section 8 is located inside the steam case 15 and has heater wires 16
A cylindrical hot plate 17 wrapped with water and a water storage tank 19 with a water absorbing body 18 are placed opposite each other, and the water storage tank 19 is pushed by a spring 20 to bring the water absorbing body 18 into contact with one end of the cavity 21 of the hot plate 17. The other end of the cavity 21 of 17 is exposed outside the case 15 and is directed toward the discharge port 14. The water storage tank 19 is configured to be slidable within the case 15, and by moving a switching button 23 that engages with a protrusion 22 provided on the water storage tank 19, the hot plate 17 and the water absorbing body 18 are brought into contact with and separated from each other. The generation and termination of

An example of the use of this steam hair curler is:
Hair is wound around a hair wrapping body 9, steam is generated using a switching button 23 to moisten the hair, and then air is turned on to dry the hair and curl the hair. In this case, steam is generated at the hot plate contact portion of the water absorbing body 18 and then discharged through the cavity 21 of the hot plate 17, enters the internal space of the hair wrapping body 9 as shown by the arrow, and passes through the porous body 12. The steam is ejected from the steam ejection hole 11 to the outside. In the porous body 12, steam is dispersed by countless micropores and is uniformly ejected from all of the steam ejection holes 11. As a result, the overall steam dispersibility of the hair winding body 9 is improved, the user is less likely to feel a burning sensation, and the curling performance is stabilized. Further, since the dew condensation water generated on the hair winding drum 9 is dispersed by the porous body 12, it can be prevented from dripping from the steam jet hole 11. Moreover,
By providing the porous body 12 inside the hair wrapping body 9, the porous body 12 can be easily provided even if the winding protrusion 10 is provided on the outer peripheral surface.

A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. That is, in the first embodiment, a built-in component 25 such as a heater is disposed in the interior space of the hair winding drum 9 via a steam passage space 24. This steam passage space 24 has the advantage that the dispersibility of steam in the axial direction is better than if the space between the surface of the built-in body 25 and the inner periphery of the hair wrapping body 9 is completely filled with the porous body 12.

A third embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. In other words, this steam hair curler has heater 2.
A heating rod 27 having a built-in steam outlet 5' and a steam outlet 26 is connected to the outlet 14 of the hair curler main body 5.
A porous material 12'' such as felt is applied to the entire surface of the heating rod 27, and the hair wrapping body 9 is removably fitted onto the porous material 12''.

With this configuration, the hair wrapping drum 9 can be heated by the heater 25', and at the same time, dew condensation on the hair wrapping drum 9 can be prevented. Furthermore, when the hair wrapping body 9 is removed from the heating rod 27 in order to replace it with another attachment, the porous body 12'' can prevent burns caused by the high heat of the heating rod 27, increasing safety. It has the same effect as the example.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the steam hair curler of this invention,
Since a porous material such as felt is attached to the inside of the steam ejection holes of the hair winding body, steam can be diffused throughout the hair winding body, and steam can be ejected uniformly from all the steam ejection holes. Therefore, the curling performance can be stabilized without giving the user a burning sensation, and the porous body can also prevent dripping of condensed water that occurs on the hair wrapping body. Furthermore, by providing the porous body inside the hair wrapping body that has a winding protrusion on the outer circumferential surface, the porous body can be provided more easily than when the porous body is provided on the outer periphery of the hair wrapping body. There is an effect.
