Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, since the auxiliary tool of Patent Document 1 is worn on the head and covers the face, some people may feel discomfort such as shortness of breath or annoyance. Furthermore, since the distance between the position of the scissors when cutting the front hair and the pocket for collecting the hair cut by the scissors is far, the scattering of the cut hair cannot be effectively prevented.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a hair-cutting aid that can reduce discomfort during haircuts without being worn by the person getting their hair cut, and that can effectively prevent the scattering of cut hair. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The hair-cutting aid of the invention of claim 1 is a hair-cutting aid to be attached to scissors, comprising: a container-shaped receiving tray portion which is open at the top and receives hair cut by the scissors; and a holding portion which is integrally formed with the receiving tray portion and rotatably holds a pair of blades of the scissors which are inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray portion with the blade surface facing horizontal.

[0008] The receiving tray is an open, container-like structure with an internal space, and its shape is not particularly limited as long as it can receive and contain the cut hair. Its external shape may be roughly rectangular or columnar, or it may be a deformable bag. The above-mentioned holding part only needs to have a structure that can rotatably hold a pair of blades of scissors. For example, it has an insertion hole into which the scissors are inserted and holds them by restricting their movement. This holding part may be molded integrally with the receiving tray, or it may be formed separately from the receiving tray and joined together to form a single unit. The blade surface of the scissors mentioned above refers to the outer surface of the scissors that has a beveled edge. Furthermore, when the blade surface is inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray in a horizontal direction, it means that the blade of the scissors is inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray with the vertical direction being perpendicular to the length direction of the blade.

[0009] Claim 1 The hair-cutting aid of the invention is such that the holding part has a diameter-locking part that locks the pivot point of the scissors, which rotatably connects the pair of blades, and is detachably attached to the scissors. The locking portion engages with the head (crimped head, etc.) and lower end (crimped head or nut, etc.) of the pivot point (support shaft) that rotatably connects a pair of blades of the scissors, thereby positioning the scissors and restricting their movement. Any configuration that can engage with the pivot point is acceptable, for example, a locking hole into which the head (crimped head, etc.) and lower end (crimped head or nut, etc.) of the pivot point (support shaft) engage.

[0010] Claim 2 The receiving tray portion of the hair-cutting aid of the invention consists of a bottom surface and four side wall surfaces perpendicular to the bottom surface, and one of the pairs of opposing side wall surfaces, which are not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pair of blades of the scissors inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray portion, has a mirror surface on its inner surface, while the other side wall surface is transparent. The description of the receiving tray as consisting of a bottom surface and four side walls perpendicular to the bottom surface means that it is box-shaped, consisting of the bottom surface and the four side walls erected on that bottom surface. Furthermore, the pair of opposing side walls that are not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pair of blades of the scissors refers to the pair of side walls that are not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pair of blades of the scissors and face each other among the four side walls.

[0011] Claim 3 The holding part of the hair-cutting aid of the invention fixes the position of one of the pair of blades of the scissors and holds the other blade so that it can rotate.

[0012] Claim 4 The receiving tray portion of the hair-cutting aid of the invention is formed to be wide in the direction of insertion of the pair of blades of the scissors that are inserted into its internal space. The above description of the scissors being formed to be wider in the direction of insertion of the pair of blades means that the internal space of the receiving tray gradually widens in the width direction in the same direction as the direction of the cutting edge of the scissors that is inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the hair-cutting aid of claim 1, the aid comprises a container-shaped receiving tray that is open upward to receive hair cut by scissors, and a holding part formed integrally with the receiving tray that rotatably holds a pair of blades of the scissors inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray with the blade surface facing horizontal, and is attached to scissors. When hair is placed between the pair of blades of the scissors, which are held by the holding part and inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray, and the hair is cut with the pair of blades, the cut hair is collected in the receiving tray.

[0014] In other words, according to the hair-cutting aid of claim 1, the pair of blades of the scissors, which are inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray, are rotatably held by the holding part and attached to the scissors. Since the hair cut by the pair of blades of the scissors inserted into the internal space of the receiving tray can be collected in the receiving tray without being worn by the hairdresser, the scattering of cut hair can be effectively suppressed. In particular, because the cut hair can be collected without being worn by the hairdresser, and because it is attached to the scissors, the scattering of cut hair can be effectively prevented, and it is less likely for cut hair to stick to the face, thereby reducing discomfort during haircuts.

[0015] Claim 1 According to the hair-cutting aid according to the invention, the holding part has a diameter locking hole that locks a pivot point that rotatably connects a pair of blades of the scissors, and can be detachably attached to the scissors. Therefore, the hair-cutting aid can be removed from the scissors, making it easy to handle when discarding the hair collected in the receiving tray or washing the hair-cutting aid. , profit It is highly effective for bowel movements.

[0016] Claim 2According to the hair-cutting aid according to the invention, the tray portion is composed of a bottom surface portion and four side wall portions perpendicular to the bottom surface portion, and one of the pair of side wall portions facing each other that are not perpendicular to the length direction of the pair of blade portions of the scissors inserted into the internal space of the tray portion has a mirror surface on the inner surface, and the other side wall portion is transparent. Therefore, the position where the hair to be cut between the pair of blade portions of the scissors can be visually recognized. And without separately preparing a mirror, it is possible to cut hair while looking at the mirror surface, anywhere without choosing a place, and also without holding a hand mirror, it is possible to easily cut hair. Therefore, in addition to the effect described in claim 1, it is easy to use for cutting the hair to a desired length.

[0017] Claim 3 According to the hair-cutting aid according to the invention, the holding portion fixes the position of one of the pair of blade portions of the scissors and holds the other blade portion rotatably. Therefore, at least the fixed one of the blade portions can be prevented from being worn or damaged without interfering with the tray portion. Therefore, in addition to the effect described in claim 1, breakage and deterioration can be suppressed.

[0018] Claim 4 According to the hair-cutting aid according to the invention, the tray portion is formed wider in the insertion direction of the pair of blade portions of the scissors inserted into its internal space. Therefore, in addition to the effect described in claim 1, while being compact, the effect of preventing the scattering of hair can be enhanced.

Embodiments of the Invention

[0020] [Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. The hair-cutting aid 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a container-shaped tray part 10 for receiving cut hair, and a holding part 20 for rotatably holding a pair of blade parts B1, B2 of scissors S inserted into the internal space 18 of the tray part 10.

[0021] The tray part 10 has a container shape with an open upper part and collects the hair cut by the scissors S. In the present embodiment, it is composed of a bottom face part 11 and four side wall face parts 12, 13, 14, 15 erected on the bottom face part 11. <了 In the tray part 10 of the present embodiment, the bottom face part 11 is made of resin and has a substantially frustum shape of a cone. A curved resin side wall face part 12 is erected on the outer arc side (upper side) of the outer periphery of the substantially frustum-shaped bottom face part 11, and a resin side wall face part 13 facing the side wall face part 12 is erected on the inner arc side (lower side) of the inner periphery. Further, a transparent resin side wall face part 14 is erected on one side in the radial direction (radial direction) of the substantially frustum-shaped bottom face part 11, and a resin side wall face part 15 is erected on the other side opposite thereto.

[0022] In this embodiment, the substantially fan-shaped base portion 11, the curved side wall portion 12 erected on the arc-shaped side of its outer circumference, the side wall portion 13 erected on the arc-shaped side of the inner circumference of the base portion 11 and integrated with the holding portion 20, the side wall portion 14 erected on one radial (radial) side of the base portion 11, and the side wall portion 15 erected on the other radial (radial) side of the base portion 11 are all integrated together with the holding portion 20.

[0023] In this embodiment, the bottom portion 11, side wall portion 12, side wall portion 13, and side wall portion 15 are integrally molded from synthetic resin, however, the side wall portion 14 erected on one radial side of the bottom portion 11 is made of a transparent flat plate such as an acrylic plate and is integrated with the side wall portions 12 and 13 by adhesive bonding. In this embodiment, corner portions (inner corner portions) 12a and 13a are formed at each of the opposing ends of the side wall portion 12 and the side wall portion 13, and these corner portions are bonded to two surfaces: the side and back (inner) surfaces of the left and right ends of the transparent plate constituting the side wall portion 14. The side wall portion 14 is then integrated with the side wall portion 12 and the side wall portion 13 by bonding the side and back (inner) surfaces of the left and right ends of the transparent plate constituting the side wall portion 14 to the two surfaces forming these corner portions 12a and 13a. This facilitates positioning when bonding the transparent plate constituting the side wall portion 14 and enables stable fixing. However, when implementing the present invention, the structure for bonding the transparent plate constituting the side wall portion 14 to the side wall portion 12 and the side wall portion 13 is not limited to that, and may be a structure in which only the side surfaces of each left and right end of the transparent plate are bonded, or a structure in which the side surfaces, back (inner surface), and front (outer surface) of each left and right end of the transparent plate are bonded, that is, a structure in which the transparent plate is bonded in a fitted state.

[0024] Furthermore, the flat side wall portion 15, which is erected on the other radial side of the bottom portion 11 and faces the side wall portion 14, has a mirror surface 16a attached to its inner surface by adhesive, with a film-like (sheet-like) mirror 16 attached to it. In other words, the side wall portion 15 has a mirror surface 16a by attaching the mirror 16 to the inner surface that forms the internal space 18 of the receiving portion 10. In this embodiment, although the side wall portions 12 and 14 are of approximately the same height, the side wall portion 15, which has a mirror surface 16a on its inner side, is formed to be higher (longer in the upward direction) than the side wall portions 12 and 14.

[0025] Thus, the receiving tray portion 10 of this embodiment is container-shaped, with an internal space 18 formed by a bottom surface portion 11 and four side wall portions 12, 13, 14, and 15 erected on the bottom surface portion 11. The internal space 18 of the receiving tray portion 10 is formed to a width that allows the blade portions B1 and B2 of the scissors S to rotate and open to a predetermined angle. Furthermore, the height of the side wall portions 12, 13, 14, and 15 is formed to be higher than the height position of the blade portions B1 and B2 of the scissors S when they are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray portion 10 and held by the holding portion 20, so that the hair cut by the scissors S does not fall from the side wall portions 12, 13, 14, and 15 and is less likely to scatter.

[0026] In particular, the receiving tray portion 10 of this embodiment corresponds to the shape (projected shape) of the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S as they rotate and open, and is formed to be wide in the direction of insertion of the pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S into the internal space 18. This makes it compact while effectively preventing hair from scattering.

[0027] The holding portion 20 is formed from an upper portion 23, a lower portion 24, left and right side portions 25, 26, an inlet portion 27, and an outlet portion 28, and is integrally formed with the side wall portion 13 of the receiving tray portion 10. Furthermore, the holding portion 20 has an insertion hole 21 formed inside into which a pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted toward the internal space 18 of the receiving portion 10. In addition, a locking hole 22 is formed on the upper portion 23 and lower portion 24 on the insertion opening 21a side of the scissors S, which serves as a locking portion to secure the scissors S inserted into the insertion hole 21. The insertion opening 21a is formed on the entrance surface portion 27, and an insertion exit 21b is formed between the exit surface portion 28 and the side wall portion 13 on the opposite side.

[0028] The insertion hole 21 is a hole that penetrates from the insertion opening 21a into which the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted, to the insertion outlet 21b on the opposite side, which is on the internal space 18 side of the receiving tray 10. It communicates with the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 and is wider from the insertion opening 21a side to the insertion outlet 21b side. That is, the width of the insertion opening 21a is slightly wider than the width at the position of the pivot point C of the scissors S when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are overlapping and closed, but the insertion outlet 21b side is formed to be wide enough to allow the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S to rotate and open to a predetermined angle. Furthermore, the height of the insertion hole 21 is such that the width of the insertion opening 21a is equal to the thickness of two blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S when they are overlapping and closed, while the portion that extends from the width of the insertion opening 21a is equal to the thickness of one blade B1 or B2 of the scissors S. This makes it possible to suppress rattling when the scissors S is rotated.

[0029] In other words, in this embodiment, the insertion hole 21 consists of a large hole 21A having a height equivalent to the thickness of two blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S when they are overlapping and closed, and a small hole 21B having a height equivalent to the thickness of one blade B2 of the scissors S. The large hole 21A and the small hole 21B are continuous, with the large hole 21A formed on the side wall surface 14 side and the small hole 21B formed on the side wall surface 15 side. Inside the holding part 20, the lower surfaces (inner surface of the lower surface 24) that form the large hole 21A and the small hole 21B are flush, while the upper ceiling surface (inner surface of the upper surface 23) is a stepped surface. In other words, as will be described later, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the large hole 21A in a state where they overlap and close together, and only the lower blade B2 can rotate and slide (move) into the small hole 21B.

[0030] The diameter locking holes 22 engage with the pivot point C that connects the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S so that they can rotate relative to each other. These holes are formed in a roughly semicircular shape on the upper surface 23 and the lower surface 24 on the insertion opening 21a side of the scissors S. In other words, scissors S generally have a pivot point (pivot shaft) C that connects the blades B1 and B2 so that they can rotate. Diameter locking holes 22 are formed in a semicircular shape on the upper surface 23 and the lower surface 24 to fit with the retaining parts (crimp head or nut, etc.) at the head and the lower end opposite to the pivot point C. The semicircular diameter locking holes 22 on the upper surface 23 are formed to be larger (larger in diameter) than the semicircular diameter locking holes 22 on the lower surface 24, to match the size of the head and lower end of the pivot point C of the scissors.

[0031] Thus, because approximately semicircular diameter-retaining holes 22 are formed on the upper surface 23 and lower surface 24 of the holding part 20 on the side of the insertion opening 21a for the scissors S, when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted from the insertion opening 21a of the holding part 20 toward the insertion outlet 21b that opens into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray part 10, the diameter-retaining holes 22 of the holding part 20 and the pivot point C of the scissors S engage and lock into place, restricting the forward movement of the scissors S in the insertion direction and the movement in the left and right directions, making it possible to rotate the scissors S stably in that position and ensuring stable operability of the scissors S.

[0032] Furthermore, the holding portion 20 is integrated with the side wall portion 13 of the receiving tray portion 10 and is formed to protrude outward from the side opposite to the side facing the internal space 18 of the receiving tray portion 10.

[0033] Thus, the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment is integrally formed with a container-shaped receiving tray 10 that receives cut hair, and has a holding portion 20 into which an insertion hole 21 into which a pair of blades B1 and B2 of scissors S are inserted, and a locking hole 22 for locking the scissors S inserted into the insertion hole 21. The pair of blades B1 and B2 of scissors S are inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the holding portion 20 from the insertion opening 21a toward the insertion exit 21b, and the pivot point C of the inserted scissors S engages with the locking hole 22 and is locked there, so that the scissors S is held in the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 with the blades B1 and B2 inserted. In other words, the hair-cutting aid 1 is locked and fixed at the pivot point C of the scissors S.

[0034] In this embodiment, the insertion hole 21 is formed from a large hole 21A having a height equal to the thickness of two blades B1 and B2 when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are overlapping and closed, and a small hole 21B having a height equal to the thickness of one blade B1 and B2 of the scissors S. Furthermore, the width of the insertion opening 21a is slightly wider than the width of the position of the pivot point C when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are overlapping and closed. As a result, the scissors S is inserted into the insertion opening 21a from the blade end side when the blades B1 and B2 are overlapping and closed, guided into the large hole 21A having a height equal to the thickness of two blades B1 and B2 when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are overlapping and closed, and the blades B1 and B2 are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 from the insertion exit 21b. In other words, when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are overlapping and closed, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the large opening 21A of the insertion hole 21.

[0035] In this embodiment of the hair-cutting aid 1, when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the large opening 21A of the insertion hole 21, overlapping each other and closing, the side wall surface 14 and the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are approximately parallel (see Figure 5(a)). Furthermore, the insertion hole 21 is formed by a large hole 21A having a height equal to the thickness of two blades B1 and B2 when the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are overlapping and closed, and a small hole 21B having a height equal to the thickness of one blade B2 of the scissors S. As a result, from the state in which the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the large hole 21A of the insertion hole 21 in an overlapping and closed state, the gripping part G of the scissors S can be operated to rotate and slide (insert) only the lower blade B2 into the small hole 21B relative to the upper blade B1, thereby opening the space between the blades B1 and B2 (see Figure 5(b)). In other words, the small hole 21B is formed in a position that allows only the rotation of the lower blade portion B2, so that the movement of the upper blade portion B1 is restrained and the upper blade portion B1 is fixed, while only the lower blade portion B2 rotates, preventing the upper blade portion B1 from rotating and coming into contact with or interfering with the side wall portion 14.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the insertion hole 21 is formed inward from the extension line when the side wall portions 14 and 15 are extended toward the holding portion 20, so that even when the lower blade portion B2 rotates relative to the upper blade portion B1 due to the operation of the gripping portion G of the scissors S, the blade portions B1 and B2 do not come into contact with or interfere with the side wall portions 14 and 15 and become worn. In other words, the blade portions B1 and B2 of the scissors S do not come into contact with the inner surface of the side wall portion 14 and the inner surface (mirror surface 16a) of the side wall portion 15 and damage them.

[0037] In this way, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 with their vertical direction perpendicular to their length, that is, with the blade surfaces of the blades B1 and B2 inserted horizontally, and the pivot point C of the scissors S is locked by the locking hole 22 of the holding part 20, thereby holding the scissors S in the holding part 20, and thus the hair-cutting aid 1 is attached to the scissors S. With the hair-cutting aid 1 attached, the scissors S can be opened and closed by gripping the gripping part G provided on the base end of the blades B1 and B2, and the relative rotation of the blades B1 and B2 around the pivot point C allows the scissors to apply shearing force while clamping the hair to be cut, thereby cutting it. In other words, the insertion hole 21 of the holding part 20 through which the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted is formed from a large hole 21A having a height equal to the thickness of two blades B1 and B2 and a small hole 21B having a height equal to the thickness of one blade B2 of the scissors S, with the small hole 21B formed in the width direction of the large hole 21A, and the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 is also formed to a width that allows the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S to rotate and open to a predetermined angle, so that when the scissors S is inserted into the large hole 21A with the blades B1 and B2 overlapping each other and closed, the gripping part G provided on the base end side of the blades B1 and B2 is gripped and the operation to open the blades B1 and B2 is performed, the lower blade B2 which is overlapping the upper blade B1 slides into the small hole 21b, and the blades B1 and B2 can be opened.

[0038] Then, with the hair-cutting aid 1 attached to the scissors S, if you grasp the gripping part G of the scissors S and lift it, the scissors S is held by the holding part 20 of the hair-cutting aid 1, so that the hair-cutting aid 1 can be lifted and moved together with the scissors S. When cutting one's own bangs, one grasps the gripping part G of the scissors S with one hand and moves the scissors S and the hair-cutting aid 1 to the position of the bangs to be cut. Then, with the other hand, the bangs to be cut are positioned between the blades B1 and B2 inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10. With the tip of the bangs to be cut, held in the other hand, positioned between the blades B1 and B2 inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10, the gripping part G is operated with one hand to rotate the blades B1 and B2, thereby opening and closing them, and the bangs can be cut with the blades B1 and B2 inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10. In other words, hair is placed between the pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10, in a direction approximately perpendicular to the length direction of the pair of blades B1 and B2, and the hair is cut by rotating the pair of blades B1 and B2 by operating the gripping part G of the scissors S.

[0039] At this time, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 with their blade surfaces facing horizontally, that is, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 with their length direction approximately parallel to the bottom surface 11 of the receiving tray 10, so that the bangs cut by the blades B1 and B2 in the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 are received and collected in the receiving tray 10. In other words, since the pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors are arranged in the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10, the hair cut by the pair of blades B1 and B2 is prevented from scattering by the side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 and the outlet surface 28, falls onto the bottom surface 11 of the receiving tray 10, and is collected by the receiving tray 10. Therefore, the scattering of cut hair into the surroundings can be effectively suppressed. And by suppressing the scattering of cut hair into the surroundings, that is, by being able to cut hair without making a mess, the effort required for cleaning is reduced, and the discomfort of hair sticking to the face is also reduced.

[0040] In particular, in the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment, the side wall portion 14 is transparent, and even when cutting bangs at a position higher than one's eye level, with the side wall portion 14 facing forward and the side wall portion 15 with the mirror surface 16a facing backward, the transparent side wall portion 14 allows the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into the receiving tray portion 10 to be seen through the transparent side wall portion 14. Therefore, the tip of the bangs can be cut with the blades B1 and B2 while the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into the receiving tray portion 10 and the tip of the bangs to be placed between the blades B1 and B2 can be seen. In other words, the state of cutting the tip of the hair with the blades B1 and B2 can be seen. Therefore, it is easy to position the ends of the bangs between the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into the receiving tray 10, making it easy to cut the bangs at the desired length and providing excellent usability. In other words, it is possible to cut the hair while confirming the cutting position of the hair to be placed between the pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S, making it very user-friendly.

[0041] Furthermore, in the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment, a mirror surface 16a is provided on the inner surface of the side wall surface 15 that faces the inner surface of the side wall surface 14. This allows the user to cut the ends of the bangs at the desired position by placing them between the blades B1 and B2 while looking at the mirror surface 16a, without having to prepare a separate mirror or move to a place with a mirror. This provides high convenience and ease of use. In other words, since the side wall surface 15 of the receiving tray 10 has a mirror surface 16a, it is possible to determine the cutting position of the hair to be placed between the pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S while checking the overall balance of the bangs using the mirror surface 16a, and then cutting the hair. Therefore, it is possible to cut hair while checking the cutting position without having to prepare a separate mirror, making it highly convenient and easy to use. Furthermore, because it prevents hair from scattering, there is no need to lift the hair to cut it to keep it out of your eyes, nor is there a need to close your eyes or squint while cutting to avoid hair getting in your eyes. You can cut the hair (bangs) while keeping it down and visually checking where to cut, making it possible to cut it to the desired length.

[0042] Furthermore, since the scissors S inserted into the hair-cutting aid 1 are only secured at the pivot point C by the locking hole 22, by holding the receiving tray 10 with one hand and the gripping part G of the scissors S with the other hand, and pulling them apart in the opposite direction to when they were attached to the hair-cutting aid 1 with the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S overlapping and closed, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are guided into the large hole 21A, and the hair-cutting aid 1 can be easily removed from the scissors S with light force without causing any wobbling. Thus, the hair-cutting aid 1 can be easily removed from the scissors S, or in other words, the scissors S can be easily removed (pulled out) from the receiving tray 10, without scattering the hair collected in the receiving tray 10 into the surroundings. After removing the hair-cutting aid 1 from the scissors S, the hair-cutting aid 1, which collects hair inside the receiving tray 10, can be tilted so that the opening side of the receiving tray 10 faces downwards, allowing the hair inside the receiving tray 10 to fall into the trash can. Furthermore, the scissors S and the hair-cutting aid 1 can be washed separately with water, and the receiving tray 10 can also be easily cleaned, thus maintaining hygiene and cleanliness.

[0043] Traditionally, when cutting one's own bangs, the cut hair would scatter onto the face and floor, which was unpleasant and required extra cleaning. Even using a trash can, the size and placement of the can sometimes prevented it from collecting all the hair. In contrast, with the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 with their blade surfaces facing horizontal, and the scissors S is held by the holding part 20. When the hair is cut by inserting the ends of the bangs between the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10 and rotating the blades B1 and B2 by operating the gripping part G of the scissors S, the cut hair is collected in the receiving tray 10 into which the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted. Therefore, the cut hair is less likely to scatter onto the face or floor, and the bangs can be cut without causing discomfort or the hassle of cleaning. In other words, it prevents the discomfort of cut hair scattering and sticking to the face, and because the hair is less likely to scatter, it eliminates the hassle of cleaning up scattered hair. In particular, this device is not worn by the person getting their hair cut, but rather attached to scissors S, so that the hair cut by the scissors S is collected in the receiving tray portion 10 of the hair cutting aid 1. The receiving tray portion 10 is formed to be larger than the rotational range of the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S, thereby preventing the hair cut by the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S from scattering within the receiving tray portion 10.

[0044] Furthermore, conventionally, when cutting one's own bangs with scissors, it is necessary to operate the scissors while looking in a mirror, which limits the places where one can cut hair, and it is also cumbersome as one must hold a hand mirror in one hand and handle the scissors with the other. However, with the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment, since the inner surface of the side wall portion 15 that forms the internal space 18 of the receiving portion 10 has a mirror surface 16a, it is not necessary to cut hair in a place with a mirror, nor is it necessary to hold a separate mirror. One can cut the bangs at the desired position by looking at the mirror surface 16a of the side wall portion 15 through the transparent side wall portion 14 and placing the scissors S, which is inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving portion 10, between the blades B1 and B2. Therefore, it is highly convenient because one can cut the bangs while visually confirming the position to be cut.

[0045] Furthermore, according to experimental research by the inventors, when the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment was attached to scissors S and the operation of cutting 100 strands of hair was performed 10 times (cutting a total of 1000 strands of hair), it was confirmed that only 2 strands of hair were scattered, and that more than 99% of the hair could be collected in the receiving tray 10.

[0046] Thus, with the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment, the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S, which are held in the holding part 20 and inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray part 10, cut the hair. Since the cut hair is collected by attaching it to the scissors S without attaching it to the person being cut, it does not impose the inconvenience of attaching it to the person being cut, and the cut hair is collected in the receiving tray part 10, preventing hair from scattering. Therefore, when cutting one's own bangs, it is possible to reduce the discomfort of cut hair scattering and sticking to the face without causing the inconvenience of attaching it to the person being cut, and it is also possible to prevent the surrounding area from being soiled by cut hair, thus maintaining hygiene. Furthermore, because it has a mirror surface 16a, the cutting position can be seen on the mirror surface 16a while cutting the bangs, and there is no need to prepare or carry a separate mirror, so it is easy to use and can be done easily anywhere. In other words, it allows you to easily cut your own bangs comfortably, without making a mess, and while maintaining cleanliness. The blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10, and the hair is cut within the internal space 18 of the receiving tray 10. Since the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are surrounded by the side walls 12, 13, 14, 15, the bottom surface 11, and the exit surface 28 of the holding part 20 of the receiving tray 10, there is no risk of the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S being exposed and injuring your face or touching your skin during haircutting, making it very safe. Therefore, it is not only suitable for cutting your own bangs, but also suitable when cutting the bangs of a child who suddenly starts moving, as there is no risk of the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S being exposed and unexpectedly coming close to the child's face.

[0047] Furthermore, since the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment is detachably attached to the scissors S, it is compact and does not take up much storage space. In particular, the hair-cutting aid 1 of this embodiment is made of resin except for the mirror 16 which is made of mirror film, and the mirror surface 16a is formed from the mirror film, so it is lightweight and easy to carry when attached to the scissors S. In addition, since it is made of synthetic resin, mirror film, and transparent acrylic plate and has a small number of parts, it can be produced at low cost. Furthermore, although the receiving tray part 10 and the holding part 20 are integrally molded from synthetic resin and the transparent acrylic plate is joined to them, there are no other joints, making it difficult to break.

[0048] As described above, the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment is attached to scissors S and comprises an open, container-shaped receiving tray portion 10 for receiving hair cut by the scissors S, and a holding portion 20 formed integrally with the receiving tray portion 10, which rotatably holds a pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S that are inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray portion 10 with their blade surfaces facing horizontal.

[0049] Therefore, according to the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, since it is attached to scissors S, when hair is placed between the pair of blades B1 and B2 of scissors S, which are held by the holding part 20 and inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray part 10, and the hair is cut with the pair of blades B1 and B2, the cut hair is collected in the receiving tray part 10. In other words, according to the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, it is attached to scissors S by rotatably holding the pair of blades B1 and B2 of scissors S inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray part 10 by the holding part 20, and since the hair cut by the pair of blades B1 and B2 of scissors S inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray part 10 can be collected in the receiving tray part 10 without being attached to the hairdresser, the scattering of cut hair can be effectively suppressed. In particular, because it can be attached to the scissors S without being attached to the barber and can collect the cut hair, it effectively prevents the scattering of hair cut by the scissors S and makes it less likely for the cut hair to stick to the face, thereby reducing discomfort during haircuts.

[0050] According to the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, the holding part 20 has a diameter-locking hole 22 that locks the pivot point C of the scissors S, which rotatably connects a pair of blade parts B1 and B2, and can be detachably attached to the scissors S. Therefore, the hair-cutting aid 1 can be removed from the scissors S, making it easy to handle when discarding the hair collected in the receiving tray 10 or washing the hair-cutting aid 1. Thus, it is highly convenient.

[0051] In particular, in the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, an insertion hole 21 of a predetermined width and height is formed in the holding part 20 into which the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S are inserted, and a diameter-retaining hole 22 is formed in the upper surface 23 and lower surface 24 that form the holding part 20 to lock the pivot point C of the scissors S. As the scissors S are inserted into the insertion hole 21, the pivot point C of the scissors S fits into the diameter-retaining hole 22, thereby positioning the scissors S and restricting its relative movement. Therefore, the hair-cutting aid 1 is not attached to the scissors S by adhesive or fixing, but rather attached to the scissors S in a detachable manner. Because the scissors S and the hair-cutting aid 1 can be separated, cleaning of the hair-cutting aid 1 is easy, and it is also possible to use the scissors S separately. However, when implementing the present invention, the configuration for holding the scissors S is not limited to the above configuration. For example, an elastic clamping portion may be formed in the holding portion 20 to elastically clamp the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S, thereby holding the blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S by elastic clamping. Alternatively, the scissors S and the hair-cutting aid 1 may be integrated by joining (adhesion) or fixing.

[0052] According to the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, the receiving tray portion 10 consists of a bottom portion 11 and four side wall portions 12, 13, 14, and 15 perpendicular to the bottom portion 11. One of the pairs of opposing side wall portions 14 and 15, which are not perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the pair of blade portions B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into the internal space 18 of the receiving tray portion 10, has a mirror surface 16a on its inner surface, while the other side wall portion 14 is transparent. Therefore, the hair to be placed between the pair of blade portions B1 and B2 of the scissors S can be seen through the transparent side wall portion 14, and the position to be cut can also be seen. Hair cutting is possible by looking at the mirror surface 16a without having to prepare a separate mirror, and hair cutting can be done easily anywhere, regardless of location, and without having to carry a hand mirror. Therefore, it is easy to use to cut hair to the desired length. Furthermore, when implementing the present invention, the mirror 16 may be made removable so that it can be carried or stored separately. Also, when implementing the present invention, scale lines may be added to the side wall portion 14 or the side wall portion 15 so that the length to be cut can be adjusted while looking at the scale lines.

[0053] According to the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, the holding part 20 fixes the position of one of the pair of blades B1 and B2 of the scissors S, and holds the other blade B2 so that it can rotate. Therefore, at least the fixed blade B1 can be prevented from interfering with the receiving tray 10, thus preventing wear and damage. Thus, damage and deterioration can be suppressed.

[0054] According to the hair-cutting aid 1 of the above embodiment, the receiving tray portion 10 is formed to be wide in the direction of insertion of the pair of blade portions B1 and B2 of the scissors S inserted into its internal space 18, so that it can be compact while enhancing the effect of preventing hair from scattering.

[0055] In implementing the present invention, the configuration of other parts of the hair-cutting aid, the manufacturing method, etc., are not limited to the embodiments described above. [Explanation of symbols]
