Description

  The present invention relates to a hair set device for removing static electricity generated when brushing hair.

  When brushing with a brush or a comb to set the hair, the hair may be charged due to friction between the brush and the comb or the hair may stand upside down or spread out as expected. There is also a problem that static electricity affects hair cuticles and damages the hair.

  Conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, it is intended to apply negative ions to the hair and attach it to the hair, to facilitate penetration of negative ions including water molecules into the hair, and to make the hair more dry. The invention has been proposed.

Patent Document 2 proposes an invention in which the human body is charged opposite to the hair to prevent the hair from spreading and clinging.

  However, in the above-described conventional technique, in the invention described in Patent Document 1, negative ions are given to the hair. However, since static electricity has a positive and negative charged state, only one ion, that is, the negative ion is used. Giving to hair has a problem that the hair is negatively charged, and contrary to the intention of the invention, the setability of the hair is impaired.

  Further, in the invention described in Patent Document 2, it is theoretically possible to charge the human body itself in the opposite direction to the hair, but practically, even the charging phenomenon of the hair cannot be prevented well.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, eliminate the influence on the hair due to static electricity generated when brushing the hair, reduce the damage to the hair, and easily set the intended hair. It is to provide a hair set device.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a hair set including an air outflow passage for sending an air flow to hair and a fan provided in the air outflow passage for sending an air flow from an air discharge port. By providing a positive ion / negative ion generator in the air outflow path and delivering positive ions and negative ions to the hair together with the air flow, the apparatus is configured as described above. The positive ions and the negative ions act on both the positive and negative charges of the static electricity generated on the hair during brushing, and the static charge state can be removed. For this reason, the bad influence to the hair by static electricity is removed, while the damage to hair is reduced, the intended hair setting can be performed easily.

  In the present invention, the positive ion / negative ion generator may be an ion generator that generates positive ions and negative ions as a single unit, or a positive ion generator that generates positive ions, A negative ion generator to be generated may be provided in parallel.

  As described above, according to the hair set device according to the present invention, by including the positive ion / negative ion generator, both of the positive and negative charges of static electricity generated on the hair during brushing can be handled. By removing positive ions and negative ions, the electrostatic charge state is removed, so that adverse effects on the hair due to static electricity can be removed well and reliably, reducing damage to the hair and reducing the damage of the user. The intended hair set can be easily performed.

  Further, 9 is an AC transformer, and 10 is a discharge electrode which is electrically connected to the AC transformer 9 and includes a plurality of discharge needles for generating ions. In this example, the AC transformer 9 and the discharge electrode 10 are used. , A single positive ion generator and a negative ion generator that generate positive ions and negative ions are formed.

  In Embodiment 1 of the said structure, when using a hair drier, the nichrome wire heater 2, the ventilation fan 4, and the alternating current transformer 9 will be in an ON state by turning on the switch 6 by a user. In this state, the nichrome wire heater 2 heats and warms the air, and this air is sent to the outside through the air outlet 1b from the air outflow passage 1a by the blower 4 and sent to the brushing user's hair. .

  At this time, an AC voltage is applied from the AC transformer 9 to the discharge electrode 10, and positive ions and negative ions are generated at the discharge electrode 10. Both the ions are sent out together with the warmed air from the air outflow path 1a to the outside through the air discharge port 1b, and are sent out to the hair of the user who is brushing.

  For this reason, during brushing by the user, positive ions act on the negative charges and negative ions act on the positive charges against the positive charges and negative charges generated in the hair. Charges are neutralized and static electricity can be reliably removed.
