Description

  The present invention relates to a hairpin case holder that can house a hairpin case.

Traditionally, hairpins are often used by women, especially when setting hairstyles. At beauty salons and beauty technical schools that use many of these hairpins, hairdressers consider hairpins according to type and size. It was stored in a ready-made case, and the necessary number was taken out from the case at the time of use.
On the other hand, in order to insert a hairpin into the hair, the hairdresser must open the hairpin one by one so that the amount of hair to be fixed is sandwiched between the open crotch parts. The legs were opened by applying force with fingers or nails, and the other leg was opened with fingers while holding one leg with mouth or teeth. However, the operation of opening these hairpins is not efficient and may be unsanitary when the hairpin is held in the mouth.

In view of this, the present applicant has proposed a hairpin case having a function capable of facilitating handling such as temporary holding and opening of a hairpin (see Patent Document 1). This hairpin case is provided with a plurality of storage portions partitioned by a partition portion in the case main body, and the hairpin is directly stored in each of the storage portions.
JP 2003-235634 A

In the hairpin case previously proposed by the present applicant, the hairpins are sorted and stored according to the number and type of the hairpins, and at the same time, the hairpins can be taken out easily and quickly, and even the temporary holding and opening of the hairpins are facilitated. However, there is room for improvement in the point that it is necessary to transfer from the case for sale that was originally packed with hairpin when refilling the hairpin into the case body. It remained.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has a function that makes it easy to handle a hairpin temporarily, open legs, etc., and further eliminates the need for transfer from a case for sale. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hairpin case holder that can improve the usability.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has taken the following measures.
That is, the hairpin case holder according to the present invention has a holder main body provided with an upwardly open storage portion that can store the hairpin case, and projects outwardly from the holder main body around the upper open portion of the storage portion. And a flange portion into which the hairpin can be inserted. The flange portion is provided with an opening that allows the leg to be inserted and opened by swinging the hairpin inserted in the flange up and down.
In this way, the hairpin case (not the hairpin case previously proposed by the applicant, but the case generally used when selling hairpins) is stored as it is in the holder body storage portion. Therefore, there is no need to transfer the hairpin itself.

In addition, since it has a flange part, when taking out a hairpin, a hairpin can be temporarily hold | maintained at this flange part. Moreover, since the opening is provided in the flange portion, by rotating the hairpin in the temporarily held state upward (or downward), one leg is inserted into the opening, and each hairpin is enlarged. The legs can be opened.
One holder body may be provided with one storage portion. In this case, the planar shapes of the holder main body, the storage portion, and the flange portion may be similar to each other. As a result, the appearance is good, and it is convenient for use and can be made compact overall.

However, the holder body may be provided with a plurality of storage portions. By doing in this way, the amount of storage of hairpins can be increased, or hairpins of different types and sizes can be stored together.
When the holder body is provided with a plurality of storage portions in this way, the holder body has a concave shape on the upper surface portion between the upper open portion of one storage portion and the upper open portion of the storage portion adjacent thereto. It is also possible to provide a tray. This saucer can be used for temporarily placing a hairpin or the like extracted from the hair.

It is preferable to provide a stationary means for preventing a lateral shift or a fall when the holder body is placed on the bottom of the holder body.
When one holder body is provided in one holder body, the positioning means is positioned corresponding to the storage section, but the holder body and this positioning means are provided so as to be relatively rotatable around the vertical axis. This is convenient because the holder body can be freely directed in a convenient direction as desired.
The stationary means may be one or a plurality of suction cups. However, the stationary means can be a magnetic adhesion member or an anti-slip material.

Some hairpin cases have a polygonal shape such as a regular octagon, but in such a case, the storage part of the holder body is also formed into a corresponding planar polygon so that this hairpin case Can be stably stored in a state in which the rotation is prevented.
In order to correspond to a circular hairpin case, the storage portion of the holder main body may be formed into a circular shape into which the hairpin case is fitted.
It is preferable to provide an extraction window that is open to the side wall of the hairpin case stored in the storage portion on the peripheral wall of the holder body. By doing so, the material for forming the peripheral wall can be saved, and the cost and weight can be reduced. In many cases, since the hairpin case is a transparent case, the remaining amount of the hairpin in the hairpin case can be confirmed from the outside of the peripheral wall of the holder body.

  In the flange portion, an opening may be provided in an arrangement along the peripheral wall of the holder body. Thereby, the insertion position (position which can be made to open leg) of a hairpin can be spread over a wide range. In this case, between adjacent sides, it is preferable that the openings are independent openings through the partition piece. Thereby, the strength reduction of a flange part can be prevented.

  The hairpin case holder according to the present invention has functions that make it easy to handle the hairpin temporarily, open legs, and the like, and further eliminates the need for transfer from the case for sale, thereby thoroughly improving the convenience of use. Be able to.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The holder body 2 includes a peripheral wall 5 formed in a rectangular tube shape so that the planar shape thereof is a polygon, and a bottom plate 6 that closes a lower side of the peripheral wall 5. The peripheral wall 5, the bottom plate 6, The inner space surrounded by is a storage portion 7, and the upper side is open to the outside.
The planar (outer) shape of the holder body 2 and the planar (opening) shape of the storage portion 7 are similar to each other. The storage section 7 can store the hairpin case 10 used for selling the hairpin 8 as it is.

In the first embodiment, the hairpin case 10 to be stored in the storage unit 7 exemplifies a case where the lid 12 is detachable from the container body 11 having a planar regular octagon. . Therefore, the storage part 7 also has a regular octagonal plan shape.
Further, the internal space of the storage portion 7 is formed on the basis that the stored hairpin case 10 can be easily inserted and removed while maintaining a fitting state that does not cause backlash. ing. For this reason, the hairpin case 10 stored in the storage unit 7 is prevented from rotating. Further, the depth of the storage portion 7 is such that the height of the container body 11 in which the lid 12 can be attached and detached protrudes upward in the stored hairpin case 10. That is, the lid 12 can be attached and detached while the container body 11 is stored in the storage unit 7.

An extraction window 15 is formed in the peripheral wall 5 of the holder body 2. Accordingly, the side surface of the hairpin case 10 stored in the storage portion 7 can be seen from the outside of the holder body 2. If the hairpin case 10 is a transparent case at this time, the remaining hairpin 16 in the container body 11 is left. The amount can be confirmed. In addition, since the material for forming the peripheral wall 5 can be saved when the extraction window 15 is formed, the cost and weight can be reduced.
In the illustrated example, since the peripheral wall 5 has a rectangular tube shape with eight sides around it, the eight windows are provided on each of the eight surfaces, and each extraction window 15 has a long hole shape with an arch shape at the top. However, it is not limited at all, including the number of apertures 15 formed, the aperture shape, the aperture size, and the presence or absence of the apertures 15 depending on circumstances.

The peripheral wall 5 of the holder body 2 extends downward beyond the bottom plate 6, and a raised bottom space 16 is formed in an internal space surrounded by the extended portion and the bottom plate 6. ing. Stationary means 17 is provided in the raised bottom space 16. The stationary means 17 is for preventing the lateral displacement or the falling from the placement state when the holder body 2 is placed on a table or the like, for example.
In the present embodiment, the stationary means 17 is a suction cup. The stationary means 17 is held so that the suction surface faces downward by forcibly fitting a ridge portion 18 provided in a bulging shape at the upper portion of the suction cup into an attachment hole 19 provided in the center of the bottom plate 6 of the holder body 2. ing. That is, the stationary means 17 is positioned corresponding to the storage portion 7 and is rotatable relative to the holder body 2 around the vertical axis.

The suction surface of the stationary means 17 is positioned so as to protrude downward from the raised bottom space 16, and a knob piece 20 is provided on the outer periphery of the suction surface. This knob piece 20 is used when breaking the sucker action (with air) to make it easier to peel off the sucker.
Note that the number of suction cups of the stationary means 17 may be one, but may be plural (three) as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. By doing so, the holder body can be securely fixed on the table.
The flange portion 3 described above is provided so as to project outward from the holder body 2 around the upper open portion of the storage portion 7. The flange portion 3 is provided to the holder body 2 with the same overhanging dimension from all sides of the planar shape. That is, the flange portion 3 is provided on the entire circumference of the holder body 2, and the planar shape of the holder body 2 is similar to the planar shape as the entire circumference of the flange portion 3. It has become a relationship. Reinforcing ribs 23 are provided on the lower surface of the flange portion 3 so that bending deformation or the like does not occur.

The flange portion 3 is provided with an opening 24 in the vicinity of the peripheral wall 5 of the holder body 2, and an elongated holding piece portion 25 is formed on the outer periphery of the opening 24. The opening 24 and the sandwiching piece 25 are provided to the holder body 2 so as to correspond to all the outer peripheral side portions of the planar shape. And between the adjacent sides, the openings 24 provided in them are made independent openings through partition piece portions 26 extending radially.
In such a flange portion 3, the hairpin 8 can be inserted in correspondence with each sandwiching piece portion 25. And when the hairpin 8 inserted in each clamping piece part 25 is swung upward (or downward) in this way, one leg of the hairpin 8 is inserted into the opening 24, and at this time, Both legs are opened so as to straddle the sandwiching piece 25.

The hairpin case holder 1 is injection-molded or the like as a whole using plastic or the like as appropriate. A part (for example, the flange portion 3 and the bottom plate 6) may be formed separately and assembled later.
In order to use the hairpin case holder 1 having such a configuration, the hairpin case 10 is completely stored in the storage portion 7, and the hairpin case holder 1 is used for hairstyling, cutting, perming and the like. 8 is placed on a table or a wagon top plate arranged at a position suitable for removal. At this time, the stationary means 17 provided at the lower part of the holder main body 2 causes a lateral displacement or a fall-preventing action (adsorption action if the stationary means 17 is a suction cup) with respect to the table or the like, and is held in a stationary state. Therefore, the lid 12 of the hairpin case 10 is removed and the internal hairpin 8 is taken out.

At this time, when the hairpins 8 in the hairpin case 10 are in a state of being individually separated, an appropriate number may be taken out and inserted one by one into the flange portion 3 (clamping piece portion 25). When the hairpin 8 is a pin-connected product 30 that is sandwiched and mounted on a tape of a predetermined length, the entire pin-connected product 30 is taken out from the hairpin case 10, the tape is removed, and a number of hairpins 8 are removed. While holding them in hand, they are inserted into the flange portion 3 all at once.
After doing so, the hairpin 8 is rotated upward (or downward) as necessary to insert one leg into the opening 24, and each hairpin 8 is greatly opened, It is made to take out from the flange part 3. As described above, the hairpin case holder 1 is held by the fixing means 17 provided at the lower part of the holder main body 2 so as not to be laterally displaced or toppled over the table or the like. Even when the hairpin case holder 1 is used, the hairpin case holder 1 is not laterally displaced or falls, and is suitable for work.

The flange portion 3 is provided so as to surround the entire circumference of the holder body 2, and the opening 24 and the sandwiching piece portion 25 are provided in a circumferential arrangement with respect to the flange portion 3. Therefore, the hairpin 8 can be inserted, opened, and taken out at any position, and these operations are not complicated.
Moreover, since the holder body 2 is rotatable relative to the stationary means 17 around the vertical axis, the holder body 2 can be rotated as the insertion, opening, and removal of the hairpin 8 proceed. The position where the hairpin 8 can be easily inserted, opened, and taken out can be always directed to the front of the operator. This is also suitable for smoothly proceeding with the work.

The point that the openings 24 are provided corresponding to all the side portions of the two planar shapes and that each opening portion 24 is an independent opening through the partition piece portion 26 between adjacent sides is the same as in the first embodiment. It is almost the same as the case.
In the hairpin case holder 1 of the second embodiment having such a configuration, since the holder body 2 has a plurality of storage portions 7, naturally, a plurality of hairpin cases 10 that can be stored in the holder body 2 can also be provided. . Therefore, it differs from 1st Embodiment by the point that the storage amount of the hairpin as a whole can be increased, and the kind and size of the hairpin 8 packed in each hairpin case 10 can be made different. Moreover, it is different from the first embodiment in that small items such as the hairpin 8 can be temporarily placed on the receiving tray 35.

FIG. 13 shows a third embodiment of the hairpin case holder 1 according to the present invention.
The hairpin case 10 in this embodiment is a bottomed cylindrical type, and the hairpin case holder 1 is provided with a substantially circular storage portion 7 into which the hairpin case 10 is fitted to the holder body 2.
