Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, when performing such brushing of hair, massaging of the scalp, massaging of the face, etc., at least two of a hair brush and a beauty roller must be prepared, which takes up space.

[0005] On the other hand, it is also conceivable to combine a hair brush and a beauty roller into one.

[0006] However, if we consider combining a hair brush and a facial roller into a single device, and use a common handle with a spherical roller attached to the tip of the main body containing the bristles, the roller will not only get in the way when brushing as it hits the head, but it will also come into contact with the hair and rotate, causing the hair to get tangled in the roller.

[0007] Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and aims to provide a hair brush with a massage function that can combine a hair brush and a facial roller into one, and prevents hair from getting tangled in the roller during brushing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In other words, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a long, rectangular handle that can be gripped by hand, a main body provided on the tip side of the handle and having a plurality of bristles on its surface, and a shaft provided on the rear end of the handle that extends in the longitudinal direction of the handle and rotates around the longitudinal axis when pressed against the face. It also comprises a rotating body having a bottomed bearing portion in the center that fits into the shaft portion, and a flat grounding portion is provided at the rear end of the rotating body. A curved section is provided near the ground contact point of the rotating body, such that the radius of rotation increases from the ground contact point toward the tip.

[0009] This configuration allows the hair brush and facial roller to be combined into a single unit, reducing the required installation space. Furthermore, during brushing, the user can grip the handle and place their palm against the rotating part to prevent it from rotating, thus preventing hair tangling. Additionally, the base can be placed on a stand to allow it to stand upright, and when using the curved part as a facial roller, it can be pressed against the face.

[0010] Furthermore, in such an invention, the rotating body is provided to rotate at a height lower than the tip position of the Bristle.

[0011] With this configuration, even if the handle is shortened, the rotating part will not get in the way of brushing.

[0012] Also, a concave portion is formed in the central portion of the planar grounding portion.

[0013] With this configuration, water will not be trapped and slip between the planar grounding portion.

Advantages of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, a hair brush and a beauty roller can be integrated into one unit to reduce the installation space. During brushing, by holding the handle and pressing the palm against the rotating body, the rotation of the rotating body can be prevented, thus preventing the entanglement of hair. Also, the grounding portion can be grounded to the installation base and made to stand upright. When using the curved portion as a beauty roller, the curved portion can be pressed against the face for use.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 1, the hair brush 1 with a beauty roller in this embodiment is provided with a main body 3 having a plurality of bristles 4 on the tip side of a longitudinal handle 2, and a rotating body 5 for pressing against the face and rotating is provided on the rear end side of the handle 2. By configuring it in this way, the beauty roller and the hair brush 1 can be integrated into one, and when used as the hair brush 1, as shown in Fig. 1, the rotating body 5 is brought into contact with the hypothenar of the palm, and the rotating body 5 is not rotated. Hereinafter, this embodiment will be described in detail.

[0018] First, the handle 2 is designed to be able to be grasped by hand. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, etc., it is provided linearly along the longitudinal direction, and in the width direction, it is configured to be substantially flat. The length of this handle 2 is set to be such that when grasped by an average adult's hand, the rear end portion is located within the range of the palm. For example, it is set within the range of 3 cm to 10 cm as the length between the bristles 4 and the rotating body 5. Thus, as shown in Fig. 1, the hypothenar of the palm is applied to the rotating body 5 to prevent the rotation of the rotating body 5. Here, although the handle 2 is configured to be flat, it may have various shapes such as circular, elliptical, or polygonal in cross section.

[0019] The main body 3 provided to extend from the tip side of the handle 2 is configured to be substantially flat and integrally formed with the handle 2, so a plurality of bristles 4 are made to stand on the surface 31 side thereof. The bristles 4 are formed by a set of two long and short bristle elements with spherical tip portions, and a plurality of these are provided on the surface 31 side of the main body 3. Also, regarding the height of the tip portion of the bristles 4, as shown in Fig. 4, along the left - right direction, the central portion is made higher, and it is set to become lower from there toward the left - right direction. By setting such a height, when brushing from the left - right direction, the bristles 4 can smoothly enter the hair, and the scalp is pressed by the bristles 4 with different lengths to massage the scalp.

[0020] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 3 and 6, the back surface 32 of the main body 3 is provided with two protrusions 33 along its longitudinal direction. These protrusions 33 are provided on both the left and right sides of the back surface 32 of the main body 3, thereby creating a relative recess in the central part. This allows the user to brush their face by placing their index finger on the inclined inner part of the protrusions 33, as shown in Figure 7, and to brush in a left-right direction. When massaging the face, as shown in Figure 8, the user can position the hypothenar eminence of their palm on the recessed inner part of the left and right protrusions 33, and hold the main body 3 with their palm.

[0021] Furthermore, a rotating body 5, used as a facial roller, is provided at the rear end of the handle portion 2 of the hair brush 1 configured in this way.

[0022] As shown in Figure 5, the rotating body 5 is provided so as to fit onto the outer circumference of the shaft portion 21 which extends from the rear end of the handle portion 2, and the bearing portion 51 provided in the center is fitted into the shaft portion 21 to rotate it.

[0023] When attaching the rotating body 5 to the shaft portion 21, the shaft portion 21 is pushed in through the opening 52 provided above the bearing portion 51 of the rotating body 5, and the protrusion 22 provided along the outer circumferential surface of the shaft portion 21 and the recess 53 provided along the inner wall surface of the rotating body 5 are fitted together. height In this embodiment, the bearing portion 51 has a closed bottom shape, but if water accumulates inside the rotating body 5, the lower end of the shaft portion 21 may be made to pass through the rotating body 5, allowing water to be discharged from the gap between the shaft portion 21 and the rotating body 5.

[0024] The size of the rotating body 5 is set such that, as shown in Figure 2, its outer circumference is lower than the short Bristle 4 of the main body 3, and as shown in Figure 3, it fits within the width of the main body 3. The outer surface at the rear end is configured to have a curved portion 56 that gradually decreases in radius of rotation toward the rear end, and this curved portion 56 is pressed against the face to rotate it. The surface of the rotating body 5 is provided with multiple flat surfaces, as shown in Figure 4, and the difference in height between these flat surfaces and adjacent flat surfaces stimulates the face during rotation. Here, the surface of the rotating body 5 is provided with multiple flat surfaces and steps, but it may also be configured as a smooth spherical shape.

[0025] Furthermore, a grounding portion 54 for standing the hair brush 1 upright is provided at the rear end (lower end) of the rotating body 5 (see Figure 1, etc.). This grounding portion 54 is formed by creating a flat bottom surface of the rotating body 5, and a recess 55 (see Figures 4 and 5) is formed in the center to prevent water from getting trapped between the flat grounding portion 54 and the brush when it is stood upright in a bathtub or the like.

[0026] Next, we will explain how to use the hair brush 1 configured in this way.

[0027] First, when using this hair brush 1 for brushing or scalp massage, as shown in Figures 1 and 7, grip the handle 2 so that the main body 3 is at the tip, and place the hypothenar eminence of your palm against the upper side of the rotating body 5. Also, place your index finger against the inner inclined surface of the raised portion 33 provided on the back surface 32 of the main body 3, and in this position, brush the main body 3 from side to side or massage the scalp. Note that when brushing in this manner, the rotating body 5 is positioned lower than the bristles 4 and is sized to fit within the width of the main body 3, so even if the handle 2 is shortened, the rotating body 5 will not interfere with brushing.

[0028] Furthermore, when using such a hair brush 1 as a facial roller, as shown in Figure 8, hold the handle 2 so that the rotating body 5 is at the tip. At this time, place the hypothenar eminence of your palm between the left and right protrusions 33 provided on the back surface 32 of the main body 3, and grip the handle 2 with your fingers.

[0029] Then, with the handle 2 held in this position, the curved part 56 of the rotating body 5 is pressed against the face and moved from side to side. As a result, the rotating body 5 rotates around the shaft 21, and the steps on the surface of the rotating body 5 stimulate and massage the face.

[0030] Next, when the hair brush 1 is finished to use and to place it on a stand or the like, it should be placed on the stand or the like so that the contact area 54 provided at the bottom of the rotating body 5 is facing downwards. At this time, the main body 3 is positioned above the handle 2, which makes it unbalanced, but the rotating body 5 can lower the center of gravity, and the contact area provided by the contact area 54 can be made larger, so it can be kept upright stably.

[0031] As described above, according to this embodiment, the device comprises a long, rectangular handle portion 2 that can be gripped by hand, a main body portion 3 provided on the tip side of the handle portion 2 and having a plurality of bristles 4 on its surface 31, and a shaft portion 21 that extends from the rear end side of the handle portion 2 in the longitudinal direction of the handle portion 2, which is pressed against the face and rotates around the longitudinal axis. It also comprises a rotating body 5 having a bottomed bearing portion 51 in the center that fits into the shaft portion 21, and a flat grounding portion 54 is provided at the rear end of the rotating body 5. Since a curved portion 56 is provided near the ground portion 54 of the rotating body 5, such that the radius of rotation increases from the ground portion 54 toward the tip, the hair brush 1 and the facial roller can be combined into one unit, reducing the installation space required. In addition, when gripping the handle portion 2, the hypothenar eminence of the palm can be placed against the rotating body 5, preventing the rotating body 5 from rotating and thus preventing hair from getting tangled in the rotating body 5 during brushing. Furthermore, the ground portion 54 can be placed on the stand to allow it to stand upright, and when using the curved portion 56 as a facial roller, the curved portion 56 can be pressed against the face.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and can be implemented in various forms.

[0033] For example, in the above embodiment, only one rotating body 5 is provided, but the shaft portion 21 may be branched to the left and right from the rear end of the handle portion 2, and rotating bodies 5 may be provided on both the left and right sides. Alternatively, multiple rotating bodies 5 may be provided along a single shaft portion 21, and the rotation axis of each rotating body 5 may be tilted slightly to massage the skin by pulling and compressing it. In this case as well, the hypothenar eminence of the palm should be in contact with the left and right rotating bodies 5 to prevent them from rotating, and if multiple rotating bodies 5 are provided along the shaft portion 21, the rotating body 5 closer to the tip should be in contact with the palm, while the rotating body 5 at the rear end should be in contact with the wrist or the like to prevent it from rotating.

[0034] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the shaft portion 21, handle portion 2, and main body portion 3 are provided by integral molding, but the shaft portion 21 and rotating body 5 may be provided in a detachable manner.

[0035] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the shaft portion 21 is fitted onto the rotating body 5 from above, but the rotating body 5 may be separated into left and right halves and fitted onto the shaft portion 21 from the left and right.

[0036] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, at least the vicinity of the lower end of the rotating body 5 may be formed of an elastic resin such as urethane or rubber. This increases the frictional force on the face, thereby strengthening the massage force. Additionally, when installing, pressing down on the main body 3 from above reduces the pressure inside the recess 55 using the elastic force of the urethane or rubber, causing it to adhere tightly to the installation base or the like, similar to a suction cup.
