Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention provides a chair for hairdressing, for example, which has a pillow for supporting the head on the top of the backrest, and a cooling element is housed in the pillow. , relates to a chair with a cooling pillow that gives you a cooling sensation when you rest your head on the pillow.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, hairdressing chairs are equipped with pillows on which the head can be placed by adjusting the position up and down.

This pillow is used for shaving, etc., by folding down the backrest and resting one's head on it.

In such a case, the person to be treated is in a comfortable state and is in a comfortable state both physically and mentally, as the moderate stimulation of shaving induces sleep.

Therefore, the pillow only needs to be soft enough so that the patient does not feel any pain in the head during the treatment, and stable enough so that the head does not wobble.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Recently, the healthy industry for keeping the body healthy has been attracting attention.

Regardless of hairdressing, the general posture of sitting on a chair, leaning the upper body back, and supporting the head with a pillow is an extremely comfortable posture, as typified by an easy chair.

Maintaining this position for a long period of time provides a rest for the body and mind, but the pillows of conventional chairs, including hairdressing chairs that allow this position to be taken, generally have the appropriate softness and stability as described above. It was impossible to measure the activation of the head while taking this posture.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of chairs with pillows that allow you to take a comfortable posture, including conventional hairdressing chairs. The purpose is to cool the head, stimulate the capillaries to improve blood circulation in the head, and obtain a further effect of resting the body and mind through the pleasant feeling of cooling the head.

[Summary of the idea]

This invention is intended to achieve the above-mentioned objectives.
The device is housed in a pillow provided at the top of the backrest, facing the side that contacts the head, so that the cooling side of a cooling element such as a Peltier element is in contact with it, and is covered with a covering sheet. be.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a chair with a pillow for hairdressing and beauty treatments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a backrest of a hairdressing chair, and a guide pipe 2 made of a heat conductive metal is embedded in the backrest downward from the top.

A slide pipe 3 made of a heat conductor metal is inserted into the guide pipe 2.
A stopper 6, which is pivotally mounted on a shaft 4 and pressed by a spring 5, is housed in the stopper 6, and one end of the stopper 6 protrudes outside near the top of the slide pipe 3 to serve as an operating portion 6a.

Note that the guide pipe 2 and slide pipe 3 have heat radiation holes 8 of a fixing base 8 and a sub-fixing base 9, which will be described later.
Heat radiation holes 2b and 3a are formed which communicate with the holes a and 9a.

A projecting piece 7 is provided on the other end of the stopper 6, and is inserted into one of the stopper holes 2a arranged in a row in the guide pipe 2, and by pushing the operating part 6a against the spring 5, The protruding piece 7 can be removed from the stopper hole 2a.

Therefore, after pushing the operating part 6a to remove the protrusion 7 from the stopper hole 2a, move the slide pipe 3 up and down, release the pressure on the operating part 6a, and insert the protrusion 7 into another stopper hole 2a. , the slide pipe 3 can be fixed at any height.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a fixing base made of a metal heat conductor fixed to the top of the slide pipe 3, and a sub-fixing base 9 made of the same material and oriented slightly upward is further attached to this fixing base 8. Note that heat radiation holes 8a and 9a are formed in the fixed base 8 and the sub-fixed base 9.

A Peltier element 10, which will be described later, is attached to the front surface of the sub-fixing base 9 with its cooling surface side facing forward.

On the cooling surface side of the Peltier element 10, a plate with good temperature conduction, such as an aluminum plate 11, which is bent into a curve that does not cause pain to the head when the head is placed on it, is attached. .

Reference numeral 12 denotes a mounting base fixed to the top of the slide pipe 3.A covering sheet 13 made of vinyl leather or the like with a good feel is attached to the periphery of the mounting base 12, and the aluminum plate 11 and urethane for maintaining the pillow shape are attached to the mounting base 12. Cover with a shape retaining material 14 such as.

FIG. 4 is a principle diagram of the Peltier element 10, with N
type and P type semiconductor A are joined with a metal piece B such as copper,
When direct current is passed from the N-type to the P-type semiconductor A, the upper metal piece B cools down and absorbs heat from the surroundings, and the electrons that have absorbed thermal energy flow through the N-type semiconductor A and are transferred to the lower metal piece B. When the heat is transferred to the P-type semiconductor A through the piece B, it is released as heat again.

When a direct current of 2 to 2.4 V is applied to this Peltier element 10, the temperature of the cooling surface drops to about 10°C when the room temperature is 20°C.

The lead wire 15 of this Peltier element 10 is led into the slide pipe 3 through the sub-fixing base 9 and the fixing base 8, and is connected to a required DC power source.

Therefore, the cooling temperature of the Peltier element 10 is transmitted to the aluminum plate 11, and from the aluminum plate 11 to the head through the covering sheet 13 to cool it.

Therefore, by reclining the backrest 1 and placing the head in a comfortable position on a pillow, such as when shaving, the head can be cooled by flowing direct current through the Peltier element 10.

On the other hand, the surface of the Peltier element 10 opposite to the cooling surface is heated, and this heat is dissipated through the heat radiation holes 8a and 9a of the fixed base 8 and the sub-fixed base 9, the heat radiation hole 3a of the slide pipe 3, and the guide pipe 2. Since heat is radiated to the outside through the heat radiation holes 2b and directly through the respective members, there is no possibility that heat will be trapped inside the pillow.

Furthermore, if sufficient heat radiation is not achieved with the heat radiation means alone, it is also possible to incorporate a fan into the pillow or into the slide pipe 3 for forced cooling.

Although the above embodiment has been described with respect to a hairdressing chair, it can be similarly applied to an easy chair with a pillow, an automobile seat with a headrest, etc., and the same effect will be produced.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, the present invention is designed to prevent
The head can be cooled by the Peltier device inside the pillow.

Therefore, this cooling of the head acts as a stimulus, improves blood circulation in the capillaries in the head, and can relieve fatigue in the head, shoulders, etc., or stiff shoulders.

Since the above-mentioned effects are added to the relaxation of the body and mind by a comfortable posture during shaving in hairdressing and beauty treatments, the rest of the body and mind is further promoted, which is useful for maintaining physical health.

Furthermore, the heat generated from the heating side of the Peltier element is transmitted to the slide member and guide member formed of a thermal conductor, and the heat is radiated from these members, causing heat to build up inside the pillow and causing discomfort to the user. Moreover, the slide member and the guide member, which are heat radiating members, are members for moving the pillow up and down, and therefore, there is an effect that it can be produced at a low cost without requiring a member exclusively for heat radiating. It is something.
