Description

The present invention relates to a hair curler capable of easily curling hair.

An example of a hair curler that can easily curl hair is shown in (Patent Document 1).

In this hair curler, as shown in FIG. 9, a metal body 3 is mounted between a core body 1 and a hair wound body 2. That is, a metal body 3 having a large number of air holes is wound around a cylindrical synthetic resin core body 1, and a hair wound body 2 is wound around the metal body 3.

The cylindrical core body 1 is a frame body formed by integral molding of synthetic resin, and has a large number of air holes to improve air permeability. The metal body 3 is formed of a thin aluminum plate or iron plate and is wound around the core body 1. The hair wrap 2 is a net having a number of fine hook-shaped hair locking bodies densely formed on the net, and is wound around the entire surface of the metal body 3. In addition, the hair wound body 2 may be other than a hook shape, for example, a sponge-shaped tube.

In the curler configured as described above, when the hair is wound around the hair winding body 2 and the hot air of the dryer is applied, the heat of the hot air is transmitted to the metal body 3 to increase the temperature of the metal body 3. At this time, since the metal body 3 is mounted between the cylindrical core body 1 and the curly hair body 2, it becomes difficult to cool and has good heat retention, and even if the hot air of the dryer is not always hit, the entire hair curler Since the temperature can be kept elevated, sufficient curling can be applied without taking time.

JP 2001-275736 A

However, in the hair curler described above, the entire body surface of the metal body is covered by winding a hair winding body in which a large number of fine hook-shaped hair locking bodies are densely formed, and the wound hair winding body blocks the ventilation holes. Therefore, the inflow of hot air from the dryer to the metal body is prevented. Therefore, it takes time to increase the temperature of the metal body. At this time, the surface of the hair wound around the curler continues to be directly exposed to the hot air of the dryer, and the hot air may damage the hair. At this time, if the curly hair is not used, the above problem is considered to be solved. However, if the curly hair is not used, the hair cannot be locked and brought into close contact with the metal body, and the curl is improved. Problems that cannot be finished occur. Further, when removing the hair wound from the curler, there are problems that a large number of fine hook-like hair locking members densely entangled on the entire surface are entangled with the hair, making it difficult to remove due to obstruction of removal, and poor usability.

Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to reduce the damage of the hair by making the temperature of the hair curler increase rapidly, to make it possible to curl quickly and well, and to easily remove the hair. In this way, it is to improve usability.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention comprises a cylindrical punching bobbin provided with a large number of holes around it and wound around hair, and a cylindrical bobbin cap attached to both ends of the bobbin. The punching bobbin divides a metal cylinder into n (n = 2, 3,... N) equal parts, and the length of the bobbin piece with brush-like comb teeth facing outward between the divided bobbin pieces. A comb portion arranged in series in the direction is provided, while the bobbin cap has a configuration in which a fitting groove is provided at the peripheral end of the cylinder and an end portion of the bobbin piece is fitted into the groove.

By adopting such a configuration, when the hair is wound around the punching bobbin, the wound hair is locked with the comb-like brush teeth of the comb portion between the bobbin pieces obtained by dividing the punching bobbin, and is closely attached to the bobbin. Can be made. In this state (preferably fixed with a pin or the like), when the dryer is applied, the hot air of the dryer passes through the hair (there is nothing to block except the hair) and reaches the punching bobbin through the hole to the inside. The temperature of the metal punching bobbin can be immediately increased. In this way, since the temperature is rapidly increased, the curl can be applied quickly and well. Moreover, since the temperature rise is speedy, hair damage can be reduced. Furthermore, by passing the hair through the comb teeth, the hair can be prepared and wound neatly, so the curl finish is also beautiful and the tangling of the hair during removal can be prevented.

At this time, it is possible to employ a configuration in which a ceramic coating is applied to the surface of the punching bobbin to emit far infrared rays.

By adopting such a configuration, when hair is wound around a punching bobbin and a dryer is applied, the ceramic coating on the surface of the punching bobbin is directly heated by the hot air of the dryer, and far infrared rays are efficiently emitted. The far infrared rays thus emitted can warm the hair from the core and improve curling.

At this time, it is possible to adopt a structure in which hair is implanted on the surface of the punching bobbin.

By adopting such a configuration and planting hair on the surface of the punching bobbin (excluding the holes), it is possible to improve the touch and give a soft image. In addition, flocking can improve the finish of curl by exerting a heat retaining effect.

Further, at this time, the end of the bobbin piece that fits into the fitting groove of the bobbin cap is formed with a protruding part that protrudes either inside or outside the surface of the bobbin piece. The structure which provided the 1st insertion part in which the protrusion part of the said bobbin piece fits in the side part of a fitting groove | channel is employable.

By adopting such a configuration, when the end portion of the bobbin piece is fitted into the fitting groove of the bobbin cap, the protrusion of the bobbin piece is fitted into the first fitting portion provided on the side portion of the fitting groove. At this time, since the protrusion protrudes perpendicularly from the surface of the bobbin piece, it can be positioned by restricting the movement of the bobbin piece to the left and right. In addition, since the fitting portion is formed on the side portion of the fitting groove, it can also act as a stopper when the protrusion is fitted.

In addition, a protrusion that protrudes inward or outward with respect to the surface of the comb portion is provided at an end portion of the comb portion that is fitted into the fitting groove of the bobbin cap, while the protrusion of the comb portion is provided in the fitting groove of the bobbin cap. The structure which provided the 2nd insertion part which can fit can be employ | adopted.

By adopting such a configuration, the comb portion can be positioned as in the case of the bobbin piece.

Further, at this time, a plurality of engaging pieces are provided at predetermined intervals along both sides of the bobbin piece and the comb part, and projecting from the side of the adjacent bobbin piece and the side of the comb part. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which the engaging pieces to be engaged are alternately combined.

By adopting such a configuration, the adjacent bobbin pieces and the engaging pieces of the comb portions are alternately fitted and supported to each other, so that the strength of the connected bobbin pieces and the comb portions can be increased. In addition, a required space | interval is a space | interval which can combine a some engagement piece alternately.
