Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, a customer to be shampooed is shampooed in a supine state with the face upward on the shampoo sink. At this time, the head of the customer to be shampooed is supported by the edge of the shampoo sink at the rear side of the neck. Therefore, a barber or beautician (shampooer) needs to lift the head in order to wash the rear side of the customer's neck. That is, a barber or beautician (shampooer) holds up the back of the customer's head with one hand and pours water onto the rear side of the neck with the shower head held by the other hand.

[0005] However, just pouring shower water onto the rear side of the neck with one hand makes it difficult to thoroughly wash off the shampoo, and it is easy to leave shampoo residue on the rear side of the neck. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time to wash the hair and the amount of water used increases wastefully.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and its main object is to provide a holding component for a shower head and a shower head that allow a hair washer to quickly and surely wash away water from the back side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0007] The holding component for a shower head according to the present invention is a holding component for a shower head that is attached to a shower head for a hair washer to wash the hair of a person whose hair is being washed, and includes an attachment portion that is attached and fixed to the shower head, and a locking portion that extends obliquely with respect to the water jetting direction on the front side, which is the water jetting side of the shower head, from the attachment portion. And the locking portion is configured to be locked to the finger of the hair washer in a state where the shower head is disposed on the back side of the finger of the hair washer that supports the back of the head of the person whose hair is being washed in a face-up position, so that the shower head jets water toward the back side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed. and the locking portion has an extending portion extending from the mounting portion and a flange portion formed at the tip of the extending portion, and is configured such that the flange portion locks to the pad of the finger with the extending portion sandwiched between the fingers.

[0008] According to the above configuration, the holding component for a shower head is attached to the shower head at the attachment portion while being locked to the finger of the hair washer at the locking portion. At this time, the shower head is held by the finger in a state of being disposed on the back side of the finger of the hair washer. Therefore, the hair washer can stably support the back of the head of the person whose hair is being washed with the palm of the hand holding the shower head.

[0009] Furthermore, since the locking portion is on the water jetting side and extends obliquely with respect to the water jetting direction, the posture of the shower head is maintained so as to jet water toward the back side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed.

[0010] Therefore, the hair washer can, with only one hand, stably support the back of the head of the person being shampooed while spraying water onto the back side of the neck of the person being shampooed, and can scrub the back side of the neck of the person being shampooed with the other hand. Therefore, the back side of the neck of the person being shampooed can be quickly and surely washed away. Moreover, since the time taken for shampooing is shortened, the amount of water used can be reduced, and the postural burden on the person being shampooed can also be reduced.

[0011] In addition to that The hair washer can simply attach the shower head to the hand by sandwiching the extending portion between the fingers and locking the flange portion to the finger pads, and can simply remove the shower head from the hand by just opening the fingers. In this way, since the shower head can be quickly attached and detached, the shampooing time can be further shortened, and water conservation can also be preferably achieved.

[0012] Furthermore, it is preferable that the locking portion extends from the mounting portion at an angle of 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less with respect to the ejection direction. Thereby, the shower head assumes an appropriate posture, and a state in which the hair washer supports the back of the head of the person being shampooed with one hand and sprays water onto the back side of the neck can be preferably realized.

[0013] Furthermore, it is preferable that the surface of the flange portion on the side opposite to the extending portion is formed in a flat shape or a concave shape. Thereby, the discomfort of the person being shampooed that a foreign object is in contact with the back of the head can be reduced.

[0014] Moreover, the shower head according to the present invention is a shower head for a hair washer to shampoo a person being shampooed, and includes a head body and a locking portion that extends obliquely from the head body in a front side that is a water ejection side of the head body with respect to the water ejection direction. And the locking portion is configured to spray water toward the back side of the neck of the person being shampooed by being locked to the finger of the hair washer in a state where the head body is disposed on the back side of the finger of the hair washer that supports the back of the head of the person being shampooed in a face-up manner. and the locking portion has an extending portion extending from the head body and a flange portion formed at the tip of the extending portion, and is configured such that the flange portion locks to the pad of the finger with the extending portion sandwiched between the fingers.

[0015] According to the above configuration, the head body is held by the finger while being disposed on the back side of the finger of the hair washer. Therefore, the hair washer can stably support the back of the head of the person whose hair is being washed with the palm of the hand holding the head body.

[0016] Furthermore, since the locking portion is on the water jet side and extends in an oblique direction with respect to the water jet direction, the posture of the head body is maintained so as to jet water toward the rear side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed.

[0017] Therefore, the hair washer can jet water against the rear side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed while stably supporting the back of the head of the person whose hair is being washed with only one hand, and can scrub the rear side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed with the other hand. Therefore, the rear side of the neck of the person whose hair is being washed can be quickly and surely washed away. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the amount of water used and also reduce the postural burden on the person whose hair is being washed. In addition, quick attachment and detachment of the shower head becomes possible.

[0018] Sa Furthermore, it is preferable that the locking portion extends from the head body at an angle of 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less with respect to the jet direction. Furthermore, it is preferable that the surface of the flange portion on the side opposite to the extending portion is formed in a flat shape or a concave shape.

Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a holding component for a shower head and a shower head that enable a hair washer to quickly and surely wash away the rear side of the neck of a person whose hair is being washed.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0021] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. <<Embodiment 1>>

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the holding component 10 for a shower head in Embodiment 1 is a component attached to a shower head 20 for a hair washer (hairdresser) 1 to wash a person to be shampooed (customer) 2. In FIG. 1, the illustration of the hair of the person to be shampooed 2 is omitted so that the arrangement of the shower head 20 and the like can be easily understood.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 1, the holding component 10 for a shower head in Embodiment 1 is a component attached to a shower head 20 for a hair washer (hairdresser) 1 to wash a person to be shampooed (customer) 2.

[0024] The shower head 20 is installed on a commercial shampoo sink (not shown) installed in a barbershop or beauty salon. The shower head 20 of the commercial shampoo sink is formed in a small size that can fit in the palm of the hand.

[0025] Here, FIGS. 2 and 3 are a side view and a perspective view showing the holding part 10 for the shower head attached to the shower head 20. FIG. 4 is a front view showing the holding part 10 for the shower head. FIGS. 5 and 6 are perspective views showing the locking part 12 and the mounting part 11 respectively, and FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing the locking part 12 locked to the finger 5 of the shampooer 1.

[0026] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the shower head 20 can be attached to the hand of the shampooer 1 that holds up the back of the head of the person being shampooed 2 via the holding part 10. The shower head 20 has a head body 21 including a shower plate 22. The head body 21 is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material or a metal material.

[0027] The shower plate 22 is arranged to cover an opening (not shown) on the front side (upper side in FIG. 2) of the head body 21. The shower plate 22 is formed in a disk shape as a whole, and a plurality of ejection holes 23, 24 through which water such as warm water ejects are formed.

[0028] Here, the water ejection side of the shower head 20 is the upper side in the same figure as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and this is also referred to as the front side of the shower head 20. The water ejection direction A is the average ejection direction of the water from the plurality of ejection holes 23, 24 and is a direction perpendicular to the shower plate 22.

[0029] Note that the plurality of ejection holes 23 and 24 consist of a plurality of bubble ejection holes 23 and a plurality of straight ejection holes 24. The bubble ejection holes 23 are arranged in the central region of the shower plate 22, and water containing foam is ejected. On the other hand, the straight ejection holes 24 are arranged around the bubble ejection holes 23, and water with a relatively high water pressure and no foam is ejected. A switching switch 25 for switching the water ejection mode is provided on the head body 21.

[0030] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the head body 21 further has a connecting portion 27 to which a water supply hose 26 is connected. The connecting portion 27 is formed in a relatively short substantially cylindrical shape. The axial direction of the connecting portion 27 is orthogonal to the water ejection direction A. Therefore, the water supply hose 26 is drawn out from the head body 21 in a direction orthogonal to the ejection direction A.

[0031] The holding component 10 of the first embodiment is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 27 of the head body 21. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the holding component 10 includes a mounting portion 11 attached and fixed to the connecting portion 27, and a locking portion 12 provided fixed to the mounting portion 11. The holding component 10 can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material. Note that the mounting portion 11 may be configured to be attached and fixed to a portion of the head body 21 other than the connecting portion 27.

[0032] The mounting portion 11 has a ring-shaped portion 33 that extends along the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 27 and a part of which is in a notch shape, and a pair of plate-shaped portions 34 that extend from the notch position of the ring-shaped portion 33 in an opposing manner. The pair of plate-shaped portions 34 extend radially outward of the ring-shaped portion 33.

[0033] Bolt holes 36 that extend on the same axis in the thickness direction are formed through the pair of plate-shaped portions 34. Then, the mounting portion 11 is fixed to the connecting portion 27 by inserting a bolt 38 through the bolt holes 36 and tightening a nut (not shown) in a state where the ring-shaped portion 33 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 27. Therefore, the holding component 10 can be mounted even on the connecting portion 27 having a slightly different outer diameter size.

[0034] On the side of the ring-shaped portion 33 opposite to the plate-shaped portion 34, an engaging recess 37 for attaching the locking portion 12 is formed. Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the locking portion 12 has an extending portion 41 and a flange portion 42 formed at the tip of the extending portion 41. As shown in FIG. 5, a hook portion 43 is formed on the base end side of the extending portion 41. The locking portion 12 is fixed to the mounting portion 11 by the hook portion 43 engaging with the engaging recess 37 of the mounting portion 11. As a result, the extending portion 41 extends from the mounting portion 11.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 2, with the mounting portion 11 attached and fixed to the connecting portion 27 of the shower head 20, the locking portion 12 extends obliquely with respect to the water ejection direction A on the front side (the upper side in FIG. 2), which is the water ejection side from the mounting portion 11.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, with the shower head 20 disposed on the back side of the finger 5 of the hair washer 1 that supports the back head of the person being shampooed 2 who is lying face up, the locking portion 12 is locked to the finger 5 of the hair washer 1. That is, the shower head 20 is suspended from the finger 5 by the locking portion 12.

[0037] As a result, the locking portion 12 is configured such that the shower head 20 locked to the finger 5 that holds up the back head of the person being shampooed 2 ejects water toward the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the water ejection direction A from the shower head 20 is along the direction of the fingertip of the hair washer 1.

[0038] The locking portion 12 extends from the mounting portion 11 at an angle θ of 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less with respect to the ejection direction A. The angle θ at which the locking portion 12 extends with respect to the ejection direction A is preferably 40 degrees or more and 50 degrees or less, and particularly preferably 45 degrees. As a result, water can be appropriately ejected from the shower head 20 with respect to the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2.

[0039] The engaging portion 12 is configured such that with the extending portion 41 sandwiched between the fingers 5 of the hair washer, the flange portion 42 engages with the belly of the finger 5. At this time, the surface of the flange portion 42 on the side of the extending portion 41 is in contact with the belly of the finger 5.

[0040] The flange portion 42 has an oval shape with a longitudinal width that is long in the direction along the finger 5 in a state of being locked to the finger 5. Also, the lateral width of the flange portion 42 is smaller than the width of two adjacent fingers 5. Thus, by making the outer shape of the flange portion 42 oval, the attachment and detachment to the finger 5 becomes smooth.

[0041] Also, the surface of the flange portion 42 on the side opposite to the extending portion 41 is formed in a flat shape or a concave shape. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the discomfort of the person being shampooed 2 that a foreign object is in contact with the back of the head.

[0042] As described above, the holding component 10 for the shower head according to the first embodiment is extremely effective when washing the back side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 supported by the edge of the shampooing table when shampooing the person being shampooed 2 in a supine state on a business-use shampooing table.

[0043] That is, the holding component 10 is attached to the shower head 20 at the attachment portion 11, while being locked to the finger 5 of the hair washer 1 at the locking portion 12. At this time, the shower head 20 is held by the finger 5 in a state of being disposed on the back side of the finger 5 of the hair washer 1. Therefore, the hair washer 1 can stably support the back of the head of the person being shampooed 2 with the palm of the hand holding the shower head 20.

[0044] Furthermore, since the locking portion 12 is on the water jet side and extends in an oblique direction with respect to the water jet direction A, the posture of the shower head 20 is maintained so as to jet water toward the back side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2.

[0045] Therefore, the hair washer 1 can spray water onto the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 while stably supporting the back of the head of the person being shampooed 2 with only one hand, and can scrub the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 with the other hand. Therefore, the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 can be quickly and surely washed away. Moreover, since the time taken for shampooing is shortened, the amount of water used can be reduced. Also, for the person being shampooed 2, although they may feel pain in taking a posture with their neck lifted, the burden on the posture of the person being shampooed can also be reduced by shortening the shampooing time.

[0046] Here, as a component for holding the shower head, a holding component that can be wound around the hand or wrist of the hair washer 1 or a configuration in which the hand or wrist is inserted through the holding component can be considered. However, with such a configuration, it is troublesome to attach and detach the shower head to the hand, and it is difficult to appropriately spray water onto the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2.

[0047] On the other hand, according to the holding component 10 of the first embodiment, the hair washer 1 can easily attach the shower head 20 to the hand by sandwiching the extending portion 41 between the fingers and locking the flange portion 42 to the belly of the finger 5, and can easily remove the shower head 20 from the hand by simply opening the finger 5. Thus, according to the above holding component 10, since the shower head 20 can be quickly attached and detached, the shampooing time can be further shortened, and appropriate water can be sprayed onto the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 by the locking portion 12.

[0048] Furthermore, by using the above holding component 10, while using the existing shower head 20 provided on the business-use shampooing table, the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 can be quickly and surely washed away. 《Second Embodiment》

[0049] Next, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following embodiments, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0050] FIG. 8 is a side view showing the shower head in Embodiment 2. FIG. 9 is a side view showing a state in which a person to be shampooed is being shampooed by the shower head in Embodiment 2. In the above Embodiment 1, the shower head 20 is held on the finger 5 by the holding part 10, whereas in Embodiment 2, a locking part 52 is provided on the shower head 50 itself.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 8, the shower head 50 of Embodiment 2 has a head body 51 including a shower plate 22. The head body 51 further has a connecting part 57 to which the water supply hose 26 is connected. The axial direction of the connecting part 57 is orthogonal to the water jetting direction A.

[0052] The locking part 52 is formed integrally with the connecting part 57 of the head body 51. The locking part 52 and the head body 51 can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin. The locking part 52 has an extending part 53 extending from the connecting part 57 and a flange part 42 formed at the tip of the extending part 53.

[0053] Similar to Embodiment 1, the locking part 52 extends obliquely from the connecting part 57 on the front side (the upper side in FIG. 8), which is the water jetting side, with respect to the water jetting direction A. As shown in FIG. 9, the locking part 52 is locked to the finger 5 of the shampooer 1 in a state where the head body 51 is disposed on the back side of the finger 5 of the shampooer 1 that supports the back of the head of the person to be shampooed 2 who is lying on their back. Thereby, the head body 51 is suspended from the finger 5 by the locking part 52.

[0054] Thereby, the locking part 52 is configured such that the head body 51 locked to the finger 5 that holds up the back of the head of the person to be shampooed 2 jets water toward the rear side B of the neck of the person to be shampooed 2. The locking part 52 extends from the connecting part 57 at an angle θ of 30 degrees or more and 60 degrees or less with respect to the jetting direction A.

[0055] The locking part 52 is configured such that with the extending part 53 sandwiched between the fingers 5 of the hair washer, the flange part 42 locks onto the pad of the finger 5. Further, the surface of the flange part 42 on the side opposite to the extending part 53 is formed in a planar shape or a concave shape.

[0056] Therefore, also according to the second embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. That is, the hair washer 1 can, with only one hand, stably support the back of the head of the person being shampooed 2 while spraying water onto the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2, and can scrub the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2 with the other hand. Therefore, the hair washer 1 can quickly and surely wash away the water on the rear side B of the neck of the person being shampooed 2. In addition, the shower head 50 can be quickly attached and detached.

[0057] In addition, in the above-described first and second embodiments, the locking parts 12 and 52 having the extending parts 41 and 53 and the flange part 42 have been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the locking part may be configured to lock onto the finger 5 by other shapes such as a ring shape, a hook shape, or a claw shape.

Industrial Applicability

[0058] As described above, the present invention is useful for a holding component for a shower head equipped on a shampoo stand in a barbershop or beauty salon, and the shower head equipped on the shampoo stand.
