Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the components described in the following examples are illustrative, and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention thereto.

Embodiment

[0011] (Configuration) First, the overall configuration of the heating device 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the heating device (heat cap) 1 according to the present invention is a device for promoting the penetration of hair coloring agents used in beauty treatments, and mainly includes a hood portion 8, a ceramic heater 2 (not shown), a controller portion 3 (not shown), a power switch 4, a power connection port 5, and a hook-and-loop fastener portion 6.

[0012] The hood portion 8 is a bag-shaped or cap-shaped member formed to cover the head 7 of the wearer. The hood portion 8 is composed of a cloth or sheet material having flexibility and heat insulation properties, and has a structure capable of holding the ceramic heater 2 inside. The hood portion 8 plays a role of ensuring the wearability of the entire device and securing a space so that the heat source does not directly contact the scalp.

[0013] And the hood portion 8 is preferably sized (for example, about 250 mm in diameter and about 270 mm in height) to be able to accommodate the head 7 with a margin even when a perm rod is wound, although it is not limited. For example, the hood portion 8 is worn on the head 7 covered with a wrap or a plastic cap during use.

[0014] The ceramic heater 2 (not shown) is disposed inside the hood portion 8 and functions as the main heat source for heating. In the heating device 1, by adopting a ceramic heater instead of a conventional heating wire, uniform and stable temperature control becomes possible, and local overheating can be avoided. Due to the far-infrared radiation characteristics of the ceramic material, it also has excellent heat permeability into the hair.

[0015] This ceramic heater 2 is controlled by a built-in controller portion 3 (not shown), and its heating temperature is set to about 59 degrees Celsius. This temperature is a temperature range suitable for promoting the penetration of the coloring agent and is designed to minimize the burden on the scalp and hair. The controller portion 3 is provided on the outer periphery or the rear surface of the hood portion 8 and has excellent operability.

[0016] The power switch 4 controls the ON / OFF of the device and is integrated with the controller unit 3. Also, the power connection port 5 is for receiving power supply from an external power source (such as an AC adapter) and is exposed outside the device. As a result, the device can be driven with stable power without incorporating dry batteries or the like.

[0017] The hook-and-loop fastener part 6 is a mounting and fixing mechanism provided at the opening of the hood part 8 and can be adjusted according to the shape and size of the head 7. Thereby, the wearer can easily and stably attach and detach the heating device 1, and prevent displacement and floating during heating. The hook-and-loop fastener part 6 is composed of two pieces, one male side and the other female side.

[0018] The heating device 1 is characterized in that the heating target is limited to only the head, and it does not have a steam generation or humidification mechanism and performs dry heating. As a result, the structure is simplified, power-saving operation is possible, and the risk of failure and accident is also reduced.

[0019] According to the heating device 1 of the present embodiment, during hair coloring treatment in a beauty salon, heating can be performed efficiently and safely, and the permeability of the coloring agent can be improved.

[0020] (Effect) Next, the effects exhibited by the heating device 1 of the present example will be listed and explained.

[0021] (1) As described above, the heating device 1 is a heating device 1 used by being mounted on the head 7, and includes a hood part 8 and a ceramic heater 2, and the ceramic heater 2 is arranged in the hood part 8 so as not to directly touch the scalp of the wearer. For this reason, it becomes a heating device 1 that can promote the penetration of the coloring agent efficiently with energy saving and ensure safety for the skin.

[0022] That is, by not directly touching the heat source to the scalp, the risk of burns and discomfort is reduced, the heating target is limited to the head 7 and the energy efficiency is high, the temperature distribution is more uniform than that of the heating wire by the ceramic heater 2 and the stability of heating is improved, and the like.

[0023] (2) In addition, the hood part 8 has a cap shape composed of a flexible heat insulating material and is configured to fit the head 7 of the wearer. Therefore, since the hood part 8 is made of a flexible material, it fits flexibly to the shape of the head 7, has high heat insulation, and heat is less likely to escape to the outside, so the energy saving property is improved, it can be folded, etc., and it is excellent in that it is easy to carry and store.

[0024] (3) Furthermore, since the ceramic heater 2 is configured to be controlled at about 59 degrees, the effect of the treatment is stabilized by the temperature range (not too high and not too low) that optimizes the penetration of the coloring agent, the burden on the scalp is small even with long-term use and the safety is high, and the labor of the operator is reduced by the automatic temperature control.

[0025] (4) In addition, since the hood part 8 is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener part 6 that enables adjustment of the wearing state, the wearing feeling can be freely adjusted according to the size of the head 7 and the hairstyle, displacement and lifting during use are prevented, and the heating effect is kept constant, and it can be attached and detached with one touch, improving the efficiency of the treatment.

[0026] (5) Furthermore, an external controller part 3 for controlling the ceramic heater 2 is provided outside the hood part 8, and a power switch 4 and a power connection port 5 are provided on the controller part 3. With such a configuration, it can be intuitively operated from the outside even while worn, the switch and power supply are integrated and the power management is simplified, and since AC power supply is possible, stable power supply can be achieved even with long-term use and there is no worry about battery depletion during the treatment.

[0027] Thus, by using the heating device 1 of the present invention, as a whole, these components complement each other from the viewpoints of safety, comfort, energy saving, operability, and stability of the treatment effect, and exhibit excellent practical effects.

[0028] As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and design changes that do not deviate from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. That is, the heating device of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the configuration, material, and function of each part can be appropriately changed in design.

[0029] For example, as the heating means, in addition to the ceramic heater 2, other electric heating elements such as a carbon heater, a PTC heater, and a warm air heater can also be used. Thereby, it is possible to provide options according to the use environment and cost.

[0030] Also, regarding the power supply, not only by supplying AC power from the outside, but also by incorporating a rechargeable battery, it becomes possible to improve portability by making it cordless and apply it to on-site treatment.

[0031] Regarding the shape of the hood portion 8, it is not limited to a cap shape, and can be changed to other shapes such as a cap type, a helmet type, a headband type, etc. By adopting an optimal design according to the use site and application, it is possible to expand the application range of the product.

[0032] Furthermore, regarding the heating temperature, not only can it be controlled to a constant temperature, but it can also be configured to have a multi-stage switching mechanism or a temperature variable mechanism that allows arbitrary setting by the user.

[0033] In addition, it is also possible to add a timer function for managing the heating time, change the material of the hood portion 8 to a material with excellent stain resistance and antibacterial properties, etc. Furthermore, by mounting a communication function such as a temperature sensor and Bluetooth (registered trademark), it is also possible to realize cooperation with smart devices.

[0034] Thus, based on its basic technical idea, the present invention can be subjected to various modifications and improvements, all of which are included in the technical scope of the present invention.
