Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hairdressing cart that can carry or contain hairdressing tools such as scissors, combs, sprays, and beauty products, as well as other items, and to a container adapter that can be attached and detached to the hairdressing cart. [Background technology]

[0002] Hairdressing carts are used in hairdressing salons and come in a variety of shapes and structures, such as those described in Patent Documents 1 to 4.

[0003] Hair dyeing (coloring) is performed in hair salons. There are various coloring methods, but one example is to hold a brush in one hand, insert the brush into a container (bowl) of hair dye (hair color) held in the other hand, apply the hair color to the brush, and then run the brush through the hair to color it. This method has the drawback that it is difficult to color the hair because the hand holding the container is occupied. Furthermore, if the container is placed far from the head of the person being colored, the brush with the hair color applied must be moved to the head of the person being colored, or the brush must be moved to the container each time the hair color is applied, which is inefficient. Furthermore, hair color can spill while moving the brush, staining the floor, chairs, carts, work clothes, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A detailed description will be given of an embodiment of a beauty wagon and a container adapter according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0012] (Embodiment 1) 1 to 6 show an example of a hairdressing cart according to the present invention. The cart body 1 is a general-purpose hairdressing cart, and is mobile with casters (moving wheels) 3 attached to the lower ends of four legs 2a to 2d to enable movement. In the present invention, a container adapter 4 can be attached to any of the legs 2a to 2d of the cart body 1, but in the illustrated embodiment, it is attached to leg 2c.

[0013] [Wagon body] The wagon body 1 has a top plate 5 and three trays 6 (6a-6c) arranged inside four legs 2a-2d. The number of trays 6 can be any number desired for ease of use. The top plate 5 is fixed inside the four legs 2a-2d. The top two trays 6a and 6b are arranged on receiving frames 7a and 7b provided inside the four legs 2a-2d so that they can slide back and forth in the forward and backward directions (in the direction of the arrows). The bottom tray 6c is removably placed on a square receiving frame 7c attached inside the four legs 2a-2d. Four horizontal bars (e.g., round bars) 8 are provided on the upper ends of the four legs 2a-2d above the top plate 5 to prevent hairdressing tools (not shown) placed on the top plate 5 from falling. Two of the legs 2a and 2b are U-shaped with a downward angle, and the horizontal bar at the top end serves as a handle 9.

[0014] [Container adapter] The container adapter 4 is equipped with a support 11, a support post 12, and a container receiver 13. The support post 11 is a round pipe. The support post 12 is a round bar, round pipe, etc., and its upper part is bent into an L-shape and protrudes sideways, with the container receiver 13 located at the tip.

[0015] [Support] The support 11 is disposed vertically along the leg 2c and is connected and fixed to the leg 2c by welding or other means, for example, by a connecting jig (not shown).

[0016] [Prop] The support 12 is inserted into a support (for example, a round pipe) 11 so that it can be raised and lowered in the direction of the arrow ab in Figures 1 and 2 and can be rotated in the direction of the arrow cd in Figures 1 and 2. When the fastening device 14 is loosened, the support 12 can be raised and lowered to a desired height and rotated in a desired direction, and when the fastening device 14 is tightened, the support 12 can be fixed at a desired height and in a desired rotated position.

[0017] [Container holder] The container holder 13 is a ring-shaped resin container with an inner hole 15 through which a hair color container (not shown) can be placed or removed. The container holder 13 rotates in the same direction as the support 12 when it is rotated horizontally (in the direction of the arrow ef in Figures 1 and 2). It can also be swiveled to stop at a desired rotational position. By rotating the support 12 in the direction of the arrow cd in Figures 1 and 2, the container holder 13 can be rotated from a position protruding from the wagon body 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 2 to a position housed within the interior space of the wagon body 1 as shown in Figure 3. While Figure 3 shows the container holder housed in the space between the top plate 5 and the first tray 6a, it can also be housed in other spaces, such as the space between the first tray 6a and the second tray 6b, or the space between the second tray 6b and the third tray 6c.

[0018] (Embodiment 2) The hairdressing cart of FIG. 4 has the same basic structure as the hairdressing cart of embodiment 1, except that two container holders 13 are provided above and below the axial direction of a single support pole 12. The two container holders 13 are individually swivelable in the direction of arrow ef in FIG. 4. Furthermore, by rotating the support pole 12 in the direction of arrow cd in FIG. 4, the container holders 13 can be rotated from a state in which they are outside the cart body 1 as shown in FIG. 4 to a state in which they are housed within the space inside the cart body 1 as shown in FIG. 5. While the container holders 13 are housed in the space between the top plate 5 and the first tray 6a in FIG. 5, they can also be housed in other spaces, such as the space between the first tray 6a and the second tray 6b, or the space between the second tray 6b and the third tray 6c.

[0019] (Embodiment 3) The basic structure of the hairdressing cart in Figure 6 is the same as that of the hairdressing cart in embodiment 1, except for the container holder 13. The container holder 13 in Figure 6 is made of a circular wire, allowing containers to be placed inside and removed from it. This container holder 13 can be pivoted in the direction of arrow ef by loosening the fastener 16, and can be fixed in the desired pivot position by tightening the fastener 16. Furthermore, by rotating the support 12 in the direction of arrow cd in Figure 6 and pivoting the container holder 13, it can be rotated from a position protruding outside the cart body 1 as shown in Figure 6 to a position housed within the interior space of the cart body 1. This type of container holder 13 can also be provided in two tiers, upper and lower, as in Figure 4. The two-tiered container holder 13 can be housed within the interior space of the cart body 1, as in Figure 5.

[0020] (Embodiment 4) The container receivers 13 may be provided in three or more stages. These container receivers 13 may also be accommodated within the space of the wagon body 1.

[0021] (Embodiment 5) The basic structure of the wagon body 1 in Figure 7 is the same as that of the wagon body 1 in embodiment 1, with the difference being that the legs 2b, 2c along the long side of the top plate 5 are connected in a downward U-shape, with the connecting bar on the upper edge serving as a handle 9, and that the two lower receiving frames 7b, 7c are attached between the legs 2a to 2d to form a square shape, with trays 6b, 6c removably placed on top of these receiving frames 7b, 7c.

[0022] [Operation] In any of the hairdressing carts of Embodiments 1 to 5, the support pole 12 can be raised and lowered from a lowered position as shown in Figure 1 to a raised position as shown in Figure 2. The container holder 13 can be rotated from a position protruding from the cart body 1 as shown in Figure 1 to a position housed within the space inside the cart body 1 as shown in Figure 3. In Figure 3, the container holder 13 is housed in the space between the top plate 5 and the first tray 6a, but it can also be housed in other housing spaces, for example, the space between the second tray 6b and the third tray 6c. The container holder 13 can be swiveled to change its orientation as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

[0023] (Embodiment 6) In the above embodiment, the support 11 is connected to one of the legs 2a to 2d. However, in the present invention, the legs 2a to 2d can be made of pipes without using the support 11, and the support 12 can be inserted into one of the legs 2a to 2d so that it can be raised and lowered. In this case, a fixture such as the fixture 14 in FIG. 1 is attached to the leg into which the support 12 is inserted, and the support 12 can be raised and lowered by loosening the fixture 14, and the support 12 can be fixed in a desired position by tightening the fixture 14. In this embodiment, the raised support 12 can be lowered, and the container receiver 13 can be rotated onto the top plate and stored on the top plate. [Industrial Applicability]
