However, both the conventional hair washer and the above-mentioned automatic hair washer use an ordinary hair-washing ball having an upper opening and a drain hole on the bottom surface. For this reason,
In particular, when a person with long hair cleans his / her hair, there is a problem that the hair reaches the bottom of the hair-washing ball, dirt on the hair-washing ball adheres to the hair, and the hair closes a drain hole, thereby hindering drainage. This also gives a very unpleasant feeling to hair washers, and there is a problem in hygiene management especially in a hair washer used by an unspecified number of people such as a hairdressing salon. Further, particularly in the case of long hair, there is a problem that the hair is violent due to the water force from the washing nozzle, a portion that cannot be sufficiently washed occurs, and the hair is easily entangled after the washing.

According to the hair washer of the present invention, the drainage of washing water is normally performed by the water-permeable hair receiver. In addition, since the hair at the time of shampooing is received by the hair holder, the hair does not drop to the bottom of the shampoo ball. In addition, by providing guides for preventing the hair from getting rough on both sides of the hair receiver,
Particularly in the case of a long hair, comfortable cleaning is possible.

At this time, if the hair of the person who is shampooing is long, the hair is received on the hair holder 11 as shown in FIGS. It does not reach the bottom of the shampoo ball 2. For this reason, there is no possibility that the dirt of the cleaning ball 2 adheres to the hair, and the drain hole 2c is closed by the hair, which does not hinder drainage. Also, the hair is washed with the washing nozzle 6d and the lower hair 6d.
Since it is located above b and 6c, it is possible to wash the entire hair, and in particular, it is possible to surely wash the neck and leg portions, which has been difficult to wash conventionally.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the hair receiver.

The hair holder 12 shown in (a) has a mesh 12b formed inside a rectangular frame 12a, and the hair holder 13 shown in (b) has both ends of a plurality of pipes 13a. A foldable hair receiver connected by a string 13b and integrated with a hair-washing ball 2 at both ends of the pipe 13a.
On the step 2d on both sides. (C) shows a hair receiver 14 integrally formed in a lattice shape, and (d) shows a hair receiver 15 which is a vertical member 15a and a horizontal member 15.
b is formed by combining them with each other. These materials can be made of resin that does not generate rust or metal that does not easily adhere to dirt.

FIG. 8 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the hair washer.

In the figure, the bottom on the front side of the ball 31 is formed high to secure the water force of the shower head N for the back of the head, which will be described later, and the bottom on the back side is deepened to form a drain port 31e at the lower end. Open and connect this to a drain (not shown) in the housing. A plurality of shower heads N as washing nozzles and a nozzle head S for shampoo are incorporated in the inner wall of the ball 31. By operating the plurality of shower heads N and the nozzle heads S with a controller (not shown), comfortable cleaning can be performed. In the ball 31, a hair holder 35 for preventing dripping of long hair or the like during hair washing is set.

FIG. 9 is a perspective view of the hair holder 35, and FIG.
0 is a plan view of a state where it is installed in a ball, and FIG. 11 is a side view of the same.

The hair receiver 35 is formed by bending a stainless steel rod having a diameter of 4 mm and coating it with PVC, and has a first hair support portion 36 for long hair at the rear and a second hair support portion semi-long at the front. Is formed between the first hair support portion 36 and the second hair support portion 37, and a dropout opening 42 for dropping the hair tip of the semi-long hair is formed. 38 Hair receptacle 35 formed on both sides has an outer guide, 39 is a guide within which is provided in the first hair supporting part 36. Further, the first hair support portion 36 is formed in a mesh shape, and long hair is put on the upper surface of the first hair support portion 36 so as to be sandwiched by the inner guide 39, and the tip of the long hair is placed in the first hair support portion 36.
The hair is washed from the back of the hair support 36 by hanging it from the back. 4
Reference numeral 0 denotes a supporting portion for fitting the side wall surface of the ball 33 to prevent the hair receiver from falling down.
Stand that abuts the bottom of

In the above configuration, in the case of semi-long hair, the hair is supported by the second hair support portion 37 at the front portion, and the remaining hair is dropped from the dropping hole 42 for washing. In this way, the outer guides 38 at both ends can prevent the hair from being swayed by the water force, and can wash the entire hair without any remaining hair.

In the case of long hair, an inner guide 39 is provided on the upper surface of the first hair support 36 provided at the rear of the hair holder 35.
Put on a long hair so that it is sandwiched between the hair. As a result, it is possible to wash the entire hair without any residual washing, and it is possible to prevent the hair from being entangled by the water force.

In the above embodiment, the first hair support portion 36 and the second hair support portion 37 are provided on the same level, but the second hair support portion 37 for semi-long hair is provided with the first hair support portion 37.
It is also possible to provide a step lower than the hair support portion 36 of the first embodiment. Providing such a step is particularly suitable for receiving a half-length hair.

In the above embodiment, the case where the hair receiver is provided in the automatic hair washer has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a general hair washer having a shower head and Of course, it can also be used for a vanity table.

[0035]

As described above, the hair washer of the present invention is provided with a water-permeable hair receiver in a hair-washing ball.
For this reason, even in the case of particularly long hair, the hair does not hang on the bottom of the basin, and dirt on the shampoo ball does not adhere. In addition, since the hair does not block the drain hole of the shampoo ball, it is possible to ensure good discharge of the wash water. Furthermore, since the heavy hair containing water does not hang down, the burden on the neck is reduced, and the hair washing operation can be performed easily.

Further, by providing guides for preventing the hair from getting rough on both sides of the hair receiving device, the hair can be prevented from getting rough due to the force of the water at the time of washing, and the hair can be prevented from being entangled after the washing. Washing becomes possible.
