Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This relates to a shampoo auxiliary device used when shampooing a patient's head in a shampoo bowl on a shampoo stand installed in a hair salon. [Background technology]

[0002] Known examples of shampoo bowls for shampoo stands installed in hair salons include those described in Patent Documents 1 and 2. Patent Document 2 also discloses a neck rest that is attached to the shampoo bowl as a shampoo auxiliary device for hair salons. This neck rest is elastic and supports the neck of the person receiving treatment from behind, stabilizing the head and reducing neck pain.

[0003] As described above, when shampooing at a shampoo stand in a typical hair salon, the person being shampooed rests their neck on the edge of the shampoo bowl or on the neck rest, and their head is inside the shampoo bowl. However, when the person being shampooed is elderly, their neck tends to bend forward, so their neck does not rest on the edge of the shampoo bowl (nape cushion), and their head may not be able to fit fully inside the shampoo bowl. In this case, there is a problem that the nape of the neck and other areas cannot be washed or rinsed thoroughly.

[0004] Furthermore, when the person being treated is young, their head may not fit sufficiently inside the shampoo bowl due to their body shape, and as mentioned above, shampooing cannot be performed properly. Furthermore, if the person being treated has long hair, there is a risk that the hair may get caught in the drain plug of the shampoo bowl during shampooing. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-314223 [Patent Document 2] Registered Utility Model No. 3171262 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a shampoo auxiliary device for use in a hair salon that enables smooth shampooing regardless of the body shape of the person being treated. Another object of the present invention is to provide a shampoo auxiliary device for use in a hair salon that prevents hair from flowing into the drain plug of the shampoo bowl during a smooth shampooing session, regardless of the length of the recipient's hair. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention provides a shampoo auxiliary device used when shampooing a user's head in a shampoo bowl of a shampoo stand installed in a hair salon. The device includes a main body that is placed on the edge of the shampoo bowl, the main body including a base that is positioned inside the shampoo bowl and left and right arms that extend forward from both left and right sides of the base. The arms are positioned from the inside to the outside of the shampoo bowl, and the main body includes a peripheral wall that rises from the outer periphery excluding the base's base edge. The device is configured so that the user's neck is positioned between the left and right arms, and the shampooing can be performed with the user's head exposed above the main body, and so that water during the shampooing is discharged into the shampoo bowl through the base edge and the drain hole of the base.

[0008] In carrying out the present invention, the base may be provided with a drain hole extending vertically therethrough, so that water during the shampooing process is also discharged into the shampoo bowl through the drain hole in the base. The arm portion may also include a guide ridge extending in the front-to-rear direction, and the guide ridge may be configured to guide water toward the base portion during the shampooing process. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The present invention provides a shampooing auxiliary device for use in a hair salon that enables smooth shampooing regardless of the body shape of the person being treated. The present invention also provides a shampoo auxiliary device for use in hair salons that prevents hair from flowing into the drain plug of the shampoo bowl during smooth shampooing, regardless of the length of the recipient's hair. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a shampoo auxiliary device according to an embodiment of the present invention is used; [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the shampoo auxiliary device. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The shampoo auxiliary device according to this embodiment is used when shampooing the head 31 of a person to be shampooed 30 in a shampoo bowl 21 of a shampoo stand 20 installed in a hair salon. The shampoo auxiliary device can be made of an appropriate material such as a self-supporting synthetic resin, but it is preferable that the device has appropriate elasticity to prevent the person to be shampooed 30 from feeling pain.

[0012] The shampoo auxiliary device comprises a main body 10 that is placed on the edge 22 of a shampoo bowl 21. In a plan view, the shampoo auxiliary device comprises a base 11 that is placed inside the shampoo bowl 21, and left and right arm portions 15 that extend forward from both the left and right sides of the base 11, but both are formed continuously, and there is no need to provide a clear boundary between them.

[0013] In use, arm 15 is positioned from the inside to the front outside (left side in FIG. 1) of shampoo bowl 21. A part of the bottom surface (the middle part in the front-to-rear direction) of arm 15 is placed on edge 22 of shampoo bowl 21. The main body 10 is roughly U-shaped in plan view, and as shown in Figure 1, the neck 32 of the person 30 to be treated is passed between the left and right arms 15, and the shampooing treatment is performed with the head 31 of the person 30 exposed above the main body 10.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 2, the outer periphery of each arm 15 is formed by a smoothly rounded, continuous curve. The distance between the left and right arms 15 gradually increases from the central portion 17 where the two arms are connected toward the front, and is greatest near the midpoint in the front-to-back direction. The arm is attached so that the back of the neck 32 of the person being treated 30 contacts this portion. The distance between the left and right arms 15 gradually decreases toward the front, but is large enough to allow the neck 32 of the person being treated 30 to pass through without difficulty. The tip of each arm 15 is rounded, and the distance between the two is greatest at this tip. The shape of the arm 15 can be changed as appropriate, provided that it can be attached to the neck 32 of the person to be treated 30.

[0015] A peripheral wall 16 is formed on the outer periphery of the main body 10 of the shampoo auxiliary device, rising upward from the flat bottom, except for the base end edge 12 of the base 11. However, the peripheral wall 16 does not need to be provided on the entire outer periphery of the main body 10 except for the base end edge 12, and it is acceptable for there to be a portion of the outer periphery where the peripheral wall 16 is not formed. Furthermore, the height of the peripheral wall 16 does not need to be constant; in this example, the peripheral wall 16 is low in the center portion 17 and gradually becomes higher toward the front. When shampooing is performed in the above-mentioned attached state, the water is prevented from spilling outward by the peripheral wall 16, and flows from the arm 15 toward the base end of the base 11, and is discharged into the shampoo bowl 21 from the base end side 12 where the peripheral wall 16 is not present.

[0016] The peripheral wall 16 abuts against the neck 32 of the person being treated 30 so as to fit along the neck, thereby preventing water from wetting the nape and other parts of the neck 32 during treatment. Therefore, the peripheral wall 16 may rise straight upward, but may also be inclined outward so that the distance between the opposing sides of at least the left and right arms 15 does not narrow upward. By inclining outward, it is possible to more easily accommodate the size of the neck 32 of the person being treated 30, which varies from person to person.

[0017] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a drain hole 13 is formed that penetrates the bottom of the base 11 in the vertical direction. Water is also discharged from the drain hole 13, which also serves to prevent overflow in the event of an accident. The shampoo auxiliary device can also be hung on a hook (not shown) attached to a wall or the like through the drain hole 13.

[0018] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a plurality of guide ridges 14 are formed, extending in the front-rear direction from the arm 15 toward the base 11. These guide ridges 14 are advantageous in guiding water toward the base 11 during shampooing, and are also advantageous in preventing water from splashing sideways during shampooing.

[0019] This shampoo auxiliary device is set directly on the head 31 of the person to be treated 30, so the nape of the neck and other areas can be thoroughly washed and rinsed smoothly even if the head 31 is not fully inside the shampoo bowl 21. Furthermore, even if the person to be treated 30 has long hair, the hair can be shampooed by placing it on top of 10, so a gap can be created between the hair and the bottom of the shampoo bowl 21, preventing the hair from flowing into the drain plug of the shampoo bowl 21.
