Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a hair setting device that can set hair into curls, waves, etc.

[Conventional technology]

Examples of this type of hair setting equipment include:
As shown in FIG. 4, a hair setting unit 2 is installed at the end of the air outlet side of the main case 1 that houses the heat source 3 and the blower 6, and on the outer surface of the main case 1 there is a power on/off switch and hot/cold air. In addition to a sliding type power switch 4 that enables switching, there is also a type equipped with a push-type rapid cooling changeover switch operator 13 that can instantly switch from hot air to cold air while hair is being styled. In this use, for example, when curl-setting hair, the main body case 1 and the hair-setting device section 2 are rotated with the hand that is held to wind the hair around the hair-setting device section 2, and hot air is applied to the hair on the hair-setting device section 2 for a predetermined period of time. After spraying, the heat source 3 is turned off by manually pushing the emergency switch switch 13.
The hair was rapidly cooled and solidified by turning off the electricity and switching to blowing cold air. By rapidly cooling and solidifying the hair, it is possible to obtain a set state in which the curl is maintained for a long time.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, if the operator 13 of the quenching switch is installed at a fixed position on the outer peripheral surface of the main body case 1 as in the conventional case, since the main body casing 1 is turned by hand when winding hair, the quenching switch must be operated each time. It is easy to lose sight of child 13 as its location changes, and it is necessary to search for the location one by one by hand, and it is extremely troublesome to perform this groping operation over and over again, and it takes a long time to set up. .

Therefore, the object of this invention is to simplify and speed up the switching operation of the switch and shorten the setting time in a hair setting device equipped with a quenching switch as described above.

[Means to solve the problem]

In this invention, the hair setter section 2 is attached to the outlet side end of the main body case 1 that houses the heat source 3 and the blower 6, and a rapid cooling switch is installed in the main body case 1 or the hair setter section 2 to control the state of energization to the heat source 3. The present invention is based on a hair setting device equipped with a switch 9, and a switch operator 13 for opening and closing the quenching changeover switch 9 is provided at the longitudinal end of the hair setting device section 2.

Here, the switch operator 13 may be operated in any manner, such as a push type or a rotary type.

The hair setter section 2 includes those for hair blow-drying, hair curling, hair waving, etc., and is particularly suitable for hair curling, which requires frequent rotation during use. These hair set units 2 include those that are removably attached to the end of the main body case 1 on the outlet side, and those that are permanently provided as an integral part.

[Effect]

In such a case, when the hair is wrapped or set in the hair setting device section 2, switching to rapid cooling requires operating the switch operator 13 with the finger of the hand holding the tip of the hair setting device section 2. At this time, even if the main body case 1 and the hair setter part 2 are rotated, the switch operator 13 at the longitudinal end of the hair setter part 2 is located on or near the rotation axis of the hair setter part 2, and the position does not change. Since there is no change in position or there is only a slight change in position, it is easy to confirm the position even by groping, and it is easy to operate.

[Effect of idea]

According to this invention, by operating the switch operator 13 provided at the longitudinal end of the hair set device section 2, the quenching changeover switch 9 is actuated to switch the heat source 3
The switch operation at the tip of the hair curler section 2 is controlled by the main body case 1.
The position of the quenching changeover switch 9 is changed by rotating the switch.Compared to the above-mentioned conventional switch operation, it is extremely easy and quick to use, and it is extremely convenient to use. There are advantages.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the hair setting device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a main body case, and 2 is a hair set device for curling hair. The main body case 1 is formed into a cylindrical shape elongated in the front and back direction and also serves as a grip, and a heat source 3 consisting of a heater and an air blower 6 consisting of a fan 6a and a motor 6b are arranged and housed therein. There is. At the rear end of the main body case 1, there is a suction port 7 that sucks in air by driving the blower 6.
In addition, a wind discharge port 8 is provided at the front end to discharge the sucked wind. A sliding power switch 4 is mounted on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the main body case 1 to turn the power on and off, and to generate hot air when the power is turned on. Of course, the operating state of the switch 4 may be a push type instead of a slide type. Furthermore, inside the air outlet 8 of the main body case 1, there is a normally closed rapid cooling switch 9 that controls the state of energization to the heat source 3.
(See Figure 2).

The hair setter section 2 for curling hair consists of a hair curling barrel 11 having a large number of air outlet ports 10 and having an elongated shape in the front and back direction, and brittle 12 implanted on the circumferential surface of the barrel 11. The rear end 11a of the hair wrapping cylinder 11 in the length direction is connected to the wind outlet 8 of the main body case 1.
It is inserted and connected so that it can be inserted and removed in the front and rear directions.

The tip 11b in the length direction of the hair-wrapping barrel 11 of this hair set device section 2, preferably the hair-wrapping barrel 11
A push-type switch operator 13 for opening and closing the quenching changeover switch 9 is provided at the tip 11b that coincides with the central axis of the quenching switch 9. The switch operator 13 is fitted into the tip 11b of the hair-wrapping barrel 11 so as to be freely protrusive and retractable, and a spring 14 disposed on the rear side of the switch operator 13 always urges the switch operator 13 to protrude forward. A switch operator 1 is provided between the switch operator 13 and the rapid cooling changeover switch 9.
A connecting rod 15 is disposed that opens and closes the quenching changeover switch 9 by the retracting and retracting operations of 3. The connecting rod 15 is attached to the fixing pin 1 along the inner surface of the hair wrapping cylinder 11.
The front rod 15a is provided in a form that can be slid forward and backward by the guiding action of the main body case 1, and the fixed pin 17 can be slid forward and backward by the guiding action of the fixing pin 17 along the inner surface of the air outlet 8 of the main body case 1. It consists of a rear rod 15b provided in the form of a crawler. The hair setter section 2 is inserted and connected to the air outlet 8 of the main body case 1, so that the rear end of the front rod 15a butts against the front end of the rear rod 15b, thereby facilitating assembly.

Thus, when the power switch 4 is turned on, the main body case 1 is gripped with one hand, and the tip 11b of the hair setter part 2 is held with the other hand, the hair is wound around the hair setter part 2 and curl set is performed. When the operator 13 is pushed with the finger of the hand holding the tip 11b of the hair set device section 2, the front rod 15a moves backward by a stroke against the force of the spring 14, and the rear rod 15b moves forward. It moves backward by being pushed by the rod 15a and pushes the plunger (actuator) 18 of the quenching changeover switch 9. As a result, the quenching changeover switch 9 is opened and the energization state of the heat source 3 is switched to cold air. In this case, the energization state can be preheated within a range that does not interfere with rapid cooling by operating a control means such as phase control or half-wave energization using a rectifier diode.

When the pressing force applied to the switch operator 13 is released, the switch operator 13 is pushed forward from the tip 11b of the hair set device 2 by the force of the spring 14, and the front rod 15a is also pulled back forward. It can be done. In addition, the rear rod 15b receives the protruding force of the plunger 18 which is pushed out by a push-back spring (not shown) in the case of the quenching switch 9.
Alternatively, it is pushed back forward by a separate spring (not shown), and the quenching changeover switch 9 is brought into a closed state.
