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 hairpins into the hair, the hairdresser must open the hairpins 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.

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. FIG. 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.
