Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a compact cordless brush iron. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, even if you styled your bangs at home, they could fall apart when you went out due to the weather, humidity, etc. For this reason, there was a demand for a way to style frizzy bangs and partings while out and about.

[0003] Portable (cordless) hair care devices have been proposed in the past (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This conventional hair care device is used not only for drying hair while brushing it, but also for massaging hair and the scalp. In other words, this conventional hair care device is a type of hair dryer and a type of scalp care device. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6971157 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, although the conventional hair care devices are indeed portable (cordless), they are not suitable for women to carry in a makeup pouch, for example. If a cordless brush iron is made compact enough to fit in a makeup pouch (similar to other cosmetics), the size of the heating unit will also be small, resulting in a problem that the amount of heat cannot be sufficiently transmitted to the hair, making it difficult to style the hair. However, the conventional hair care devices do not take such issues into consideration at all.

[0006] To provide a cordless brush iron that can transmit sufficient heat to hair and easily style hair, even if it is compact enough to be put in a cosmetic pouch or the like, and that has been made in consideration of the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The cordless brush iron of the present invention is a cordless brush iron having a handle portion and a brush portion, the brush portion comprising: a first heating portion disposed in a central portion in a lateral direction of the brush portion so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the brush portion and having a curved portion protruding from a surface of the brush portion; a plurality of second heating portions erected on the curved portion of the first heating portion and arranged at intervals so as to be aligned in the longitudinal direction of the brush portion; and a plurality of pin portions erected on both sides of the first heating portion in the lateral direction of the brush portion and arranged at intervals so as to be aligned in the longitudinal direction of the brush portion. The heat source part of the first heating part has a curved shape that conforms to the curved shape of the first heating part. is.

[0008] According to this configuration, since the first heating section is provided on the surface of the brush section and extends in the longitudinal direction, the size of the heating section can be secured large even if the cordless brush iron is made compact to a size that can be put in a cosmetic pouch (similar to the size of other cosmetics). This allows a sufficient amount of heat to be transmitted to hair, making it easy to style hair. Furthermore, since the first heating section is provided with a curved portion that protrudes from the surface of the brush section, even with a compact cordless brush iron, it is easy to use this curved portion to style hair (for example, to straighten bangs or create beautiful curls in bangs). Furthermore, the heat of the iron evenly straightens the cuticle, making it possible to give hair a glossy finish even when you are out and about.

[0009] In addition, in the cordless brush iron of the present invention, the pin portion may include a plurality of inner pin portions arranged near the first heating portion and a plurality of outer pin portions arranged outside the inner pin portions, and the tips of the inner pins may be arranged at a higher position than the tips of the outer pins, and the tips of the outer pins may be arranged at a higher position than the tips of the second heating portion.

[0010] According to this configuration, the pin section is composed of two rows (an inner pin section and an outer pin section), the tips of the inner pins are positioned higher than the tips of the outer pins, and the tips of the outer pins are positioned higher than the tips of the second heating sections. Therefore, while moving the brush section to style bangs, etc., the hair (bangs, etc.) is less likely to come off the brush section, and sufficient heat can be transmitted to the hair, making it easy to style hair (bangs, etc.) even with a compact cordless brush iron.

[0011] In the cordless brush iron of the present invention, the inner pin portions and the outer pin portions may be arranged alternately in a plan view.

[0012] With this configuration, the two rows of pins (inner pins and outer pins) are arranged so that they are staggered when viewed in a plane, so that hair (bangs, etc.) is less likely to come off the brush part while the brush part is being moved to style bangs, etc., making it easy to style hair (bangs, etc.) even with a compact cordless brush iron.

[0013] In addition, the cordless brush iron of the present invention may include a cap portion that is removably attached to the handle portion so as to cover the brush portion, and when the cap portion is attached to the handle portion, there is no step between the handle portion and the cap portion, and the handle portion and the cap portion may have an integrated stick-like appearance.

[0014] With this configuration, when the cap is attached to the handle, the cordless brush iron has a unified stick-like appearance, so that it does not look out of place when placed in a cosmetic pouch, etc., just like other cosmetics. Furthermore, by attaching the cap after heating has stopped, the cordless brush iron can be easily carried in a cosmetic pouch, etc., just like other cosmetics.

[0015] In addition, in the cordless brush iron of the present invention, a power switch, a first light source, and a second light source may be provided on the bottom surface of the handle, and when the power switch is pressed and held down while the first light source and the second light source are off, the first light source is turned on without heating the first heating unit and the second heating unit starting, and when the power switch is pressed and held down while the first light source is on, heating of the first heating unit and the second heating unit starts and the first light source and the second light source are turned on, and when the power switch is pressed and held down while the first light source and the second light source are on, heating of the first heating unit and the second heating unit is stopped and the first light source and the second light source are turned off.

[0016] According to this configuration, the first and second heating units do not start heating unless the power switch is pressed and held down and then pressed briefly again. In other words, the first and second heating units do not start heating just by pressing the power switch briefly. This makes it possible to prevent the power switch from being pressed accidentally and the first and second heating units from starting heating when the cordless brush iron is carried in a cosmetic pouch or the like like other cosmetics. Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, even if the cordless brush iron is made compact to a size that can be put in a cosmetic pouch, the size of the heating part can be secured large, so that a sufficient amount of heat can be transmitted to the hair, making it easy to style the hair.

In other words, the first heating portion 6 is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the brush portion, and two rows of pins (inner pins 9 and outer pins 10) are arranged on both sides of the heating portion, respectively. Among the two rows of pins, the pins closer to the heating portion are the inner pins 9, and the outer pins 10 are arranged next to the inner pins and at a position farther from the heating portion. Taking the heating portion as the center, the inner pins 9 and the outer pins 10 are arranged outward. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the inner pin portions 9 and the outer pin portions 10 are alternately arranged so as to be staggered in plan view. The pin portion 8 (inner pin portion 9 and outer pin portion 10) is made of, for example, resin. The pin portion 8 (inner pin portion 9 and outer pin portion 10) can also be said to be a non-heating portion.

[0024] FIG. 4 is a view of the cordless brush iron 1 as seen from the direction A in FIG. 1. Further, FIG. 4 is a view showing the heights (Hi, Ho, Hh) of the respective pins and the second heating portion 7 with respect to C. As shown in FIG. 4, the tip Hi of the inner pin is arranged at a position higher than the tip Ho of the outer pin, and the tip Ho of the outer pin is arranged at a position higher than the tip Hh of the second heating portion 7. That is, it is set so that Hi>Ho>Hh. Also, the length L1 of the first heating portion 6 is smaller than the length L2 of the second heating portion 7. That is, it is set so that L1<L2.

[0025] FIG. 5 is a view of the cordless brush iron 1 as viewed from the direction A in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the brush part 3 is formed by a combination of multiple curved shapes (a curved shape of curvature R2, a curved shape of curvature R3, a curved shape of curvature R4, and a curved shape of curvature R5). The respective curvatures are, for example, R2=3.5 mm, R3=5 mm, R4=7 mm, and R5=3.5 mm. The curved surface part of the first heating part 6 has a curved shape of curvature R1, for example, R1=5.8 mm. This R1 is the curved surface part protruding from the surface of the brush part 3, and the first heating part has a height of L1. The multiple curved shapes can further straighten the hair heated by the first heating part 6 and the second heating part 7.

[0026] FIG. 6 is a view of the cordless brush iron 1 as viewed from the direction A in FIG. 1. Furthermore, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view in the short direction of the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the brush unit 3. Note that FIG. 6 shows only parts necessary for explanation. As shown in FIG. 6, the first heating unit 6 has a curved shape. In this case, the heat source unit 11 of the first heating unit 6 has a curved shape that follows the curved shape of the first heating unit 6, and is disposed inside the brush unit 3 so as to be adjacent to the first heating unit 6 (see FIG. 6).

[0027] Next, referring to FIG. 7, the main parts of the handle part 2 will be described. FIG. 7 is a view of the cordless brush iron 1 as viewed from the direction B in FIG. 1.

In this way, the heating of the cordless brush iron 1 is terminated.

[0031] According to the cordless brush iron 1 of this embodiment, the first heating section 6 extending in the longitudinal direction is provided on the surface of the brush section 3, so that even if the cordless brush iron 1 is made compact to a size that can be put in a makeup pouch or the like (similar to the size of other cosmetics), the size of the heating section can be secured to be large. This allows a sufficient amount of heat to be transmitted to the hair, making it easy to style the hair. Furthermore, since the first heating section 6 is provided with a curved portion protruding from the surface of the brush section 3, even with a compact cordless brush iron 1, it is easy to use this curved portion to style the hair (for example, to straighten the bangs or to create beautiful curls in the bangs).

[0032] In addition, in this embodiment, the pin sections 8 are configured in two rows (two rows of inner pin sections 9 and outer pin sections 10), the tips of the inner pins are positioned higher than the tips of the outer pins, and the tips of the outer pins are positioned higher than the tips of the second heating section 7.Therefore, while moving the brush section 3 to style the bangs, etc., the hair (bangs, etc.) is less likely to come off the brush section 3, and sufficient heat can be transmitted to the hair, making it easy to style the hair (bangs, etc.) even with the compact cordless brush iron 1.

[0033] In addition, in this embodiment, the two rows of pin portions 8 (the inner pin portions 9 and the outer pin portions 10) are arranged so that they are staggered when viewed in a plane. This makes it difficult for hair (such as bangs) to come off the brush portion 3 while the brush portion 3 is being moved to style the bangs, etc., making it easy to style hair (such as bangs) even with the compact cordless brush iron 1.

[0034] In addition, in this embodiment, when the cap 5 is attached to the handle 2, the cordless brush iron 1 has an integrated stick-like appearance, so that it does not look out of place when placed in a cosmetic pouch, etc., like other cosmetics. Therefore, the cordless brush iron 1 can be easily carried in a cosmetic pouch, etc., like other cosmetics.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first heating section 6 and the second heating section 7 do not start heating unless the power switch 13 is pressed and held down and then pressed briefly again. In other words, the first heating section 6 and the second heating section 7 do not start heating just by pressing the power switch 13 briefly. This makes it possible to prevent the power switch 13 from being pressed accidentally and the first heating section 6 and the second heating section 7 from starting heating when the cordless brush iron 1 is carried in a cosmetic pouch or the like like other cosmetics.
