Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a barber tool. [Background technology]

[0002] The scalp brush disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a hook portion that can be hung from a wall by hooking the hook portion onto a fastening portion provided on the wall, allowing for good drainage and hygienic storage. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3244907 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] For example, when washing one's head with shampoo, depending on the usage environment, it may be difficult to hook the hook portion onto the locking portion. In such cases, the brush disclosed in Patent Document 1 has difficulty hooking the hook portion onto the locking portion on the wall, and is left lying flat on the floor. Here, "laying flat" is defined as a state in which the brush is placed on a surface without any support other than itself, and is stationary. However, laying a brush for washing one's head flat on the floor is undesirable from a hygienic standpoint.

[0005] The present invention was completed in light of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a technique that allows barber tools to be handled hygienically. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The barber tool of the present invention comprises a main body having a living body contact portion that contacts the living body and a grip portion, and a portion provided on the main body that allows the main body to be in a free-standing state or a suspended state.

[0007] With this configuration, the main body can be made to stand on its own, which reduces the area that comes into contact with the surface compared to when it is placed flat on the floor, making it possible to handle the barber tool hygienically. Here, a standing state is defined as a state in which the main body is held on the surface in a position that would not allow it to stand on its own due to its parts.

[0009] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown below.

[0010] In the barber's tool of the present invention, the portion may be annular. With this configuration, the main body can be suspended by hanging the portion on a hook provided on a wall surface, and the annular portion can be placed flat on a support surface to maintain the main body in a stable, free-standing state.

[0011] In the barber tool of the present invention, the part may have a part that moves between a free-standing position where the main body is in the free-standing state and a suspended position where the main body is in the suspended state. With this configuration, the position of the movable part of the part can be moved to an optimal position in the free-standing state and the suspended state, making it possible to efficiently switch the main body between the free-standing state and the suspended state.

[0012] In the barber tool of the present invention, the main body has a restricting portion, and when the main body is in the free-standing state relative to the placement surface, the restricting portion can restrict the movement range of the part so that an imaginary line connecting the upper end of the main body and the center of the contact portion of the main body that contacts the placement surface forms an acute angle with the placement surface. With this configuration, it is possible to position the center of gravity of the main body directly above the part, making it easier to hold the main body in a stable free-standing state.

[0013] In the barber's tool of the present invention, the main body may have a main body-side contact portion that contacts the placement surface when in the free-standing state, and the part may have a part-side contact portion that contacts the placement surface when in the free-standing state. With this configuration, since both the main body and the part contact the placement surface, it is easier to stably hold the main body in the free-standing state compared to when only one of them contacts the placement surface.

[0014] In the barber tool of the present invention, the main body is a brush having a base and bristles extending from the base, or a comb having a base and comb teeth extending from the base, and in a plan view when the main body is in the freestanding state, the bristles or the comb teeth can be arranged on the same side of the base as the part. With this configuration, even if the freestanding main body were to tip over, it is difficult for the main body to tip over onto the side on which the brush or comb teeth are arranged, thereby making it difficult for the brush or comb teeth to hit the placing surface and be damaged or deformed.

[0015] <Example> A barber's tool 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. In the following description, for convenience, directions in the barber's tool 10 are defined as follows: The front-to-rear direction in the barber's tool 10 is a direction parallel to the direction in which the brush bristles 22 protrude, with the direction toward the protruding ends (tip) of the brush bristles 22 defined as the front, and the direction toward the base ends defined as the rear. Regarding the up-down and left-to-right directions in the barber's tool 10, the longitudinal direction of the main body 20 is defined as the up-down direction, and the directions perpendicular to the up-down and up-down directions are defined as the left-to-right directions. The X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis in each figure indicate the front-to-rear, left-to-right, and up-down directions, respectively, with the positive X-axis direction being the front, the positive Y-axis direction being the left, and the positive Z-axis direction being the up. Note that these directions do not define the actual directions of the barber's tool 10 when in use.

[0016] 1 to 4, the barber tool 10 according to the first embodiment includes a main body 20 and a portion 30. The main body 20 includes a base 21 and bristles 22 that are contact portions for contacting the living body. The base 21 includes a grip portion 21A, a base portion 21B, and a protrusion 21C.

[0017] [Main unit configuration] The grip portion 21A is elongated in the vertical direction. The grip portion 21A is made of, for example, a synthetic resin. The grip portion 21A is curved so as to bulge backward from the vertical and horizontal side edges toward the vertical and horizontal centers (see FIGS. 3 and 5). The front side of the grip portion 21A is recessed backward (see FIG. 5). A plurality of annular recesses 21D, each recessed forward and shaped like a ring, are concentrically arranged on the rear surface of the grip portion 21A (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The grip portion 21A is the portion that the user holds with their hand when using the barber tool 10. When gripping the grip portion 21A, the user places their hand on the grip portion 21A from behind and grasps the grip portion 21A from the left and right.

[0018] The substrate portion 21B is provided so as to close the front side of the grip portion 21A (see FIG. 5). When viewed from the front, the substrate portion 21B has an oval shape that is long in the vertical direction, with the upper and lower ends formed in an arc shape (see FIG. 4). For example, the substrate portion 21B is formed separately from the grip portion 21A (see FIG. 5). The substrate portion 21B is detachably attached to the grip portion 21A, for example, by a known snap-fit ​​structure (not shown).

[0019] As shown in Fig. 5, a plurality of grooves 21E are formed in the base plate portion 21B. Each groove 21E extends in the up-down direction and is aligned in the left-right direction (see Fig. 4). The left-right side walls 21G of each groove 21E are inclined so that the left-right width decreases from the front end toward the bottom surface 21F. At the upper and lower ends of each groove 21E, side walls 21H extending in the left-right and front-rear directions rise from the bottom surface 21F (see Fig. 3).

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, protrusion 21C is provided to protrude downward from the lower end of grip portion 21A. Protrusion 21C is spherical, and the spherical portion is connected to grip portion 21A via constricted portion 21P. Protrusion 21C is made of the same synthetic resin as grip portion 21A. Protrusion 21C and constricted portion 21P are solid (not shown). Locking holes 21J are formed at both left and right end portions 21Q of protrusion 21C, recessed toward the center in the left and right direction (see FIG. 4). When viewed from the left and right direction, each locking hole 21J has a circular shape (see FIG. 3). Each locking hole 21J is arranged coaxially (see FIG. 4). The central axis of each locking hole 21J overlaps with the center of the spherical portion of protrusion 21C.

[0021] As shown in Fig. 3, each locking hole 21J is provided with a restricting portion 21K. The restricting portion 21K is provided so that a portion of the circumferential direction of the locking hole 21J protrudes toward the central axis. The restricting portion 21K is formed with a pair of restricting surfaces 21L. These restricting surfaces 21L are formed parallel to the central axis of the locking hole 21J and extend in different radial directions from the central axis. In this embodiment, the angle formed by the restricting surfaces 21L is, for example, 60 degrees.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 6, protrusion 21C is formed with main body side contact portion 21M, which is a contact portion. Main body side contact portion 21M is a point that is part of the lower end of the spherical portion of protrusion 21C.

[0023] The brush bristles 22 are integrally formed on the substrate portion 21B. The brush bristles 22 and the substrate portion 21B are made of a synthetic resin that is resistant to static electricity. The brush bristles 22 come into contact with the head and hair of a living human body. As shown in FIG. 5, the brush bristles 22 extend forward from the substrate portion 21B. Each brush bristles 22 has a tapered conical shape from the base end to the protruding end (tip). The protruding end (tip) of each brush bristles 22 is formed into a spherical shape that expands toward the tip in the protruding direction, and a flat, annular plane 22D is arranged around the periphery of the protruding end, perpendicular to the central axis of the brush bristles 22. The plane 22D functions as a pressed surface that is pressed by an ejector pin when the brush bristles 22 are released from a mold.

[0024] The brush bristles 22 include first brush bristles 22A extending forward from the bottom surface 21F of each groove 21E and second brush bristles 22B extending forward from the front surface 21N located between adjacent grooves 21E. The outer diameter of the first brush bristles 22A is smaller than that of the second brush bristles 22B. Therefore, the first brush bristles 22A are more flexible than the second brush bristles 22B. The first brush bristles 22A are easily bent by a slight axial force, providing a gentle contact with the scalp and making them suitable for scalp cleansing. The second brush bristles 22B are less likely to bend even when subjected to a relatively large axial force, making them suitable for massage, which presses against the scalp to promote blood circulation, and for combing hair.

[0025] Focusing on one bottom surface 21F, the first brush bristles 22A are aligned vertically to form a first row 22C, as shown in FIG. 4. Focusing on one front surface 21N located between adjacent grooves 21E, the second brush bristles 22B are aligned vertically to form a second row 22E. The first brush bristles 22A in the first row 22C and the second brush bristles 22B in the second row 22E, which are adjacent to each other in the left-right direction, are aligned vertically in a staggered manner. The protruding ends (tips) of the first brush bristles 22A in the first row 22C are positioned further rearward than the protruding ends (tips) of the second brush bristles 22B in the second row 22E (see FIG. 3). The protruding ends (tips) of the first brush bristles 22A in the first row 22C and the protruding ends (tips) of the second brush bristles 22B in the second row 22E are arranged to curve forward from the center in the vertical direction toward the upper and lower ends (see FIG. 3). The degree of curvature of an imaginary curved line Cu2 connecting the protruding ends (tips) of the second brush bristles 22B in the second row 22E is greater than the degree of curvature of an imaginary curved line Cu1 connecting the protruding ends (tips) of the first brush bristles 22A in the first row 22C (see FIG. 3).

[0026] [Component composition] The portion 30 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the portion 30 is C-shaped. Specifically, the portion 30 has an arc-shaped portion 30A, a portion-side contact portion 30B, a pair of bent portions 30C, and a pair of insertion portions 30D. The arc-shaped portion 30A is semicircular along an imaginary plane Vp (see FIG. 3). The arc-shaped portion 30A is formed so that its outer diameter gradually increases from both ends in the left-right direction toward the center in the left-right direction (see FIG. 4). The portion-side contact portion 30B is formed as a flat surface on the arc-shaped portion 30A (see FIG. 2). Specifically, the portion-side contact portion 30B is C-shaped so as to extend along the imaginary plane Vp along which the arc-shaped portion 30A extends (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

[0027] A pair of bent portions 30C is provided adjacent to each of the arc-shaped portions 30A. Each bent portion 30C forms an obtuse angle with both left-right end portions 30H of the arc-shaped portion 30A (see FIG. 2) and extends while bending away from the imaginary plane Vp (see FIG. 3). In other words, each bent portion 30C is bent with respect to the arc-shaped portion 30A in a direction opposite to the side on which the part-side contact portion 30B is provided, with the arc-shaped portion 30A sandwiched between them. When viewed in the left-right direction, each bent portion 30C forms an obtuse angle with each of both left-right end portions 30H of the arc-shaped portion 30A. A recessed portion 30G is formed between the bent portion 30C and the arc-shaped portion 30A (see FIG. 3). The recessed portion 30G is located on the opposite side of the arc-shaped portion 30A from the part-side contact portion 30B (see FIG. 3).

[0028] A pair of insertion sections 30D is provided at each protruding end (tip end) of each bent section 30C. In other words, the pair of insertion sections 30D are provided at both end sections 30J of the C-shaped section 30 (see FIG. 4). Each insertion section 30D protrudes inward in the left-right direction from each bent section 30C. Each insertion section 30D is cylindrical with its central axis oriented in the left-right direction. These insertion sections 30D are arranged coaxially and spaced apart in the left-right direction. A butting protrusion 30E is provided at the inner end of each insertion section 30D in the left-right direction (see FIG. 1). The butting protrusion 30E protrudes inward in the left-right direction from each insertion section 30D. The butting protrusion 30E has a pair of contact surfaces 30F formed thereon. These contact surfaces 30F are formed parallel to the central axis of the insertion section 30D and extend in different radial directions from the central axis.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 7, the part 30 is attached to the main body 20 by inserting each insertion section 30D into each locking hole 21J of the protrusion 21C of the main body 20. The restricting section 21K of the protrusion 21C and the abutting protrusion 30E are located at the same position in the central axis direction of the insertion section 30D. When the part 30 is attached to the main body 20 with the bent sections 30C facing downward, the arc-shaped section 30A extends downward and forward, and the recessed section 30G is located in front of the bent sections 30C (see FIG. 8). The part 30 attached to the main body 20 forms a ring shape with the protrusions 21C closing the gap between the protruding ends (tips) of the pair of bent sections 30C. The part 30 attached to the main body 20 can rotate around the central axis of the insertion section 30D.

[0030] [Possible positions of parts relative to the main body] Next, the possible positions of the part 30 when it rotates relative to the main body 20 will be described. First, the part 30 is rotated around the central axis of the insertion part 30D in a direction that moves the arc-shaped part 30A forward. As a result, the abutting protrusion 30E moves along the inner circumferential surface of the locking hole 21J. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 , one abutting surface 30F of the abutting protrusion 30E abuts one restricting surface 21L of the restricting part 21K, restricting the rotation of the part 30 relative to the main body 20. At this time, the arc-shaped part 30A of the part 30 extends forward and is positioned forward of the protrusion 21C. The part-side contact part 30B faces downward. At this time, the part-side contact part 30B and the main body-side contact part 21M are positioned on the same plane. The part 30 is in a free-standing position. When the part 30 is in the freestanding position, the barber tool 10 is placed on the support surface S so that the part-side contact portion 30B and the main body-side contact portion 21M are in contact with the support surface S. Then, the main body 20 stands upright in a position extending in the vertical direction. In other words, the main body-side contact portion 21M and the part-side contact portion 30B are in contact with the support surface S when in the freestanding state.

[0031] When the main body 20 is in a freestanding state, the angle θ (hereinafter simply referred to as angle θ) formed between the placement surface S and an imaginary straight line Vs connecting the upper end T of the main body 20 and the main body-side contact portion 21M that contacts the placement surface S of the main body 20 is an acute angle. In other words, the restricting portion 21K restricts the movement range of the part 30 so as to hold it in a freestanding position by the abutment of the abutting protrusion 30E. For example, it is preferable that the imaginary plane Vp on which the part-side contact portion 30B extends is set so as not to be in contact with the surface of the protrusion 21C or to intersect with the surface of the protrusion 21C.

[0032] For example, if the imaginary plane Vp is set to intersect with the surface of the protrusion 21C, only the center portion in the left-right direction of the part-side contact portion 30B will be in contact with the placement surface S, and both left-right end portions 30K (see FIG. 2) of the part-side contact portion 30B will not be in contact with the placement surface S. As a result, the main body 20 will be prone to tilting in the left-right direction, making it difficult to maintain the main body 20 in an upright state.

[0033] In contrast, when the imaginary plane Vp is set to contact the surface of the protrusion 21C, the entire part-side contact portion 30B comes into surface contact with the mounting surface S, making it possible to stably hold the main body 20 in a free-standing state.

[0034] Furthermore, when the imaginary plane Vp is set so as not to intersect with the surface of the protrusion 21C, two points on both left and right ends 30K (see Figure 2) of the part-side contact portion 30B will come into contact with the support surface S, and three points, including the main body-side contact portion 21M, will come into contact with the support surface S, making it possible to stably hold the main body 20 in an upstanding state.

[0035] 10, when the main body 20 is in a free-standing state, the part-side contact portion 30B of the part 30 is positioned forward and spaced apart from the main body-side contact portion 21M and extends further to both the left and right than the main body-side contact portion 21M. In a plan view when the main body 20 is in a free-standing state, the brush bristles 22 are positioned on the same front side as the part 30 relative to the base 21. In a plan view when the main body 20 is in a free-standing state, the center of gravity of the main body 20 is positioned inside the outermost shape of the part 30.

[0036] Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the part 30 is rotated around the central axis of the insertion part 30D so that the arc-shaped part 30A is positioned below the protrusion 21C (upper in FIG. 11). At this time, the part 30 is in the hanging position. At this time, the restricting part 21K and the abutting protrusion 30E are separated and do not contact each other. At this time, the part-side contact part 30B faces backward. When the part 30 is in the hanging position, the part 30 is hooked onto the locking piece L provided on the wall W. This causes the main body 20 to enter a hanging state in which it is suspended along the wall W. In this way, the part 30 switches the main body 20 between a freestanding state in which it is freestanding and a hanging state in which it is suspended.

[0037] Next, as shown in FIG. 12 , the part 30 is rotated around the central axis of the insertion part 30D so that the arc-shaped part 30A is aligned with the rear surface of the grip part 21A. This causes the abutting protrusion 30E to move along the inner circumferential surface of the locking hole 21J. The other abutting surface 30F of the abutting protrusion 30E then abuts the other restricting surface 21L of the restricting part 21K, restricting the rotation of the part 30 relative to the main body 20. At this time, the arc-shaped part 30A does not contact the main body 20 but is slightly spaced from it. This prevents the rear surface of the grip part 21A from being damaged by the part 30. The part 30 is in the storage position at this time. Furthermore, by inserting a finger into the slightly spaced portion between the arc-shaped part 30A and the main body 20, the part 30 can be easily rotated from the storage position to another position. When the part 30 is in the storage position, the external dimensions of the barber tool 10 in the up-down and front-to-back directions are minimized. By storing the barber tool 10 in a storage space such as a drawer with the portion 30 in the storage position, the barber tool 10 can be stored in the storage space without taking up too much space. In this way, the arc-shaped portion 30A of the portion 30 moves to three positions: a free-standing position, a hanging position, and a storage position. The movement range of the arc-shaped portion 30A of the portion 30 is restricted by the restricting portion 21K so that the arc-shaped portion 30A does not always come into contact with the main body 20.

[0038] As described above, the barber tool 10 of Example 1 comprises the main body 20 having the brush bristles 22 (living body contact portion) that come into contact with the human body and the grip portion 21A, and the portion 30 that is provided on the main body 20 and that changes the main body 20 between a freestanding state where the main body 20 stands upright and a suspended state where the main body 20 is suspended. With this configuration, the portion that comes into contact with the placing surface S can be reduced compared to when the barber tool 10 is placed lying down on the placing surface S, and the barber tool 10 can be handled hygienically.

[0039] Therefore, the barber tool 10 of the first embodiment can be handled hygienically.

[0040] The portion 30 has a ring shape when attached to the main body 20. According to this configuration, by hooking the portion 30 onto a locking piece L attached to the wall surface W, the main body 20 is put into a hanging state, and by placing the ring-shaped portion 30 flat on the placement surface S, it is possible to create a configuration in which the main body 20 is maintained in a stable, free-standing state.

[0041] Section 30 has an arc-shaped section 30A that moves between a free-standing position where main body 20 is in a free-standing state and a suspended position where main body 20 is in a suspended state. With this configuration, the position of arc-shaped section 30A of section 30 can be moved to the optimal position for both the free-standing state and the suspended state, making it possible to efficiently switch main body 20 between the free-standing state and the suspended state.

[0042] The main body 20 has a restricting portion 21K. When the main body 20 is set in a freestanding state on the placement surface S, the restricting portion 21K restricts the movement range of the portion 30 so that the angle θ formed between the placement surface S and an imaginary line Vs connecting the upper end T of the main body 20 and the main body contact portion 21M that contacts the placement surface S of the main body 20 becomes an acute angle. With this configuration, the center of gravity of the main body 20 can be positioned directly above the portion 30, making it easier to stably maintain the main body 20 in a freestanding state.

[0043] The main body 20 has a main body-side contact portion 21M that contacts the placement surface S when in a free-standing state. The portion 30 has a portion-side contact portion 30B that contacts the placement surface S when in a free-standing state. With this configuration, both the main body 20 and the portion 30 contact the placement surface S, making it easier to stably hold the main body 20 in a free-standing state compared to when only one of them contacts the placement surface.

[0044] The main body 20 is a brush having a base 21 and brush bristles 22 extending from the base 21. In a plan view when the main body 20 is in a freestanding state, the brush bristles 22 are arranged on the same front side as the portion 30 relative to the base 21. With this configuration, even if the freestanding main body 20 were to tip over, the main body 20 is less likely to tip over onto the side where the brush bristles 22 are arranged, and therefore the brush bristles 22 are less likely to hit the placement surface S and be damaged or deformed.

[0045] <Other Examples> The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and illustrated in the drawings, and the following embodiments are also included within the technical scope of the present invention. (1) The hairdressing tools may include beauty rollers for massage. In addition, the hairdressing tools are not limited to brushes and combs used on the human body, but also brushes and combs used on pets (i.e., living creatures) such as dogs and cats. (2) The main body may be a comb having a base and comb teeth extending from the base. In this case, the comb teeth are arranged on the same front side as the part relative to the base in a plan view when the main body is in a freestanding state. (3) The shape of the part does not have to be annular, as in part 130 shown in Fig. 13, and may be a key-like shape with a portion of the ring missing. This makes it easier to hook part 130 onto and remove from a locking piece provided on a wall surface. Also, the part does not have to be circular, and may be a polygonal ring, such as part 230 shown in Fig. 14, which may be a heart-shaped ring, or may be a square, elliptical, or polygonal shape. This allows for variation in the appearance of the part, making it easier to enhance the design. (4) Unlike the above-described embodiment, the parts may have magnetic properties. In this case, if the wall or mounting surface is made of a magnetic material, the parts can be magnetically attached to the wall or mounting surface, allowing the main body to be stably freestanding or suspended. (5) Unlike the above embodiment, the protrusions may be formed separately from the base, and the protrusions may be detachable from the base. In this case, the parts are detachable from the base together with the protrusions. For example, by preparing multiple types of parts and protrusions with different shapes, it is possible to enjoy changing the appearance of the barber tool. (6) As shown in Fig. 15, the portion 330 may be fixed in a freestanding position without moving relative to the main body 20, and may have a hole 330L through which a locking portion provided on a wall surface is inserted. The portion 330 is provided with a portion-side contact portion 330B. In the configuration of Fig. 15, the main body 20 is separated from the placement surface S across the portion 330, and no main body-side contact portion is provided. In other words, only the portion 330 comes into contact with the placement surface S. This prevents the main body 20 from coming into contact with the placement surface S, making it less likely that the main body 20 will be damaged by contact with the placement surface S. (7) Unlike the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, a flat body-side contact portion 121M may be formed on a spherical protrusion 21C. The body-side contact portion 121M is formed as a flat surface at the lower end of the spherical portion of the protrusion 21C. When the body-side contact portion 121M is viewed from below, the center C of the body-side contact portion 121M is defined as the center of a quadrangle formed by a pair of imaginary vertical lines Vh tangent to the left and right ends of the body-side contact portion 121M and a pair of imaginary horizontal lines Vw tangent to the front and rear ends of the body-side contact portion 121M. In this case, as shown in FIG. 17, when the main body 20 is freestanding on the mounting surface S, the restricting portion 21K restricts the movement range of the part so that the angle θ formed by the mounting surface S and an imaginary line Vs connecting the upper end T of the main body 20 and the center C of the body-side contact portion 121M that is in contact with the mounting surface S of the main body 20 is an acute angle. This makes it possible to more stably hold the main body 20 in a self-standing state. The outer shape of the main body contact portion is not limited to a circular shape, but may be an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, or the like. [Explanation of symbols]
