Description

ヘアドライヤの取付具およびヘアケア装置Hair dryer fittings and hair care equipment
　本開示は、ヘアドライヤに取り付けて使用される取付具、およびヘアケア装置に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a fixture that is used by being attached to a hair dryer, and a hair care device.
　ヘアドライヤは、一端の吸気口から吸入した空気を加温して他端の排気口から排出することにより、温風を放出する。使用者は、ヘアドライヤからの温風を毛髪に当てることにより、毛髪を乾燥させる。近年のヘアドライヤには、温風を吐出して髪の乾燥やセットを行うだけでなく、イオンを含んだ風を送風することにより毛髪および頭皮のケア機能を備えているものがある。このようなケア機能を有するヘアドライヤは、ヘアケア装置とも呼ばれる。 The hair dryer releases warm air by heating air taken in from the air inlet at one end and discharging it from the air outlet at the other end. The user dries the hair by applying warm air from a hair dryer to the hair. Some recent hair dryers not only discharge warm air to dry and set the hair but also have hair and scalp care functions by blowing air containing ions. A hair dryer having such a care function is also called a hair care device.
　また、頭皮のマッサージ効果を得るために、ヘアドライヤの吹き出し口に、突起を有する取付具を取り付けることも提案されている。例えば、特許文献１には、ヘアドライヤに取り付けて用いられるヘアドライヤ用吹出ノズルが提案されている。 Also, in order to obtain a scalp massage effect, it has been proposed to attach a fitting having a protrusion to the outlet of the hair dryer. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a blowout nozzle for a hair dryer used by being attached to a hair dryer.
　特許文献１に示すヘアドライヤ用吹出ノズルは、ヘアドライヤ９の送気口９２に着脱可能に接続するノズル流入口１１からノズル吹出口１２ａに至るノズル流路が形成されたノズル本体１０と、複数本のピン体３とを備えている。そして、ピン体３は、先端が頭皮に接触可能になるようにノズル吹出口からの吹き出し方向に突出して設けられている。 The blowout nozzle for a hair dryer shown in Patent Document 1 has a nozzle main body 10 in which a nozzle flow passage extending from a nozzle inlet 11 to a nozzle outlet 12a detachably connected to an air supply port 92 of the hair dryer 9 is formed. A pin body 3 is provided. The pin body 3 is provided so as to protrude in the blowing direction from the nozzle outlet so that the tip can come in contact with the scalp.

　頭皮マッサージの目的でヘアドライヤを使用する場合には、温風の吹き出し口が頭皮の近くに位置する。例えば、特許文献１に開示されたヘアドライヤは、ピン体３の先端を頭皮に接触させた状態で、イオン風ノズル口１５から温風を吹き出す。そのため、ヘアドライヤのユーザは、ヘアドライヤから吹き出される風を非常に熱く感じて使用時の快適性が低下する。また、頭皮に対して近い位置から温度の高い風を当てることは、頭皮に負担をかける可能性がある。 When using a hair dryer for the purpose of scalp massage, the hot air outlet is located near the scalp. For example, the hair dryer disclosed in Patent Document 1 blows hot air from the ion wind nozzle opening 15 with the tip of the pin body 3 in contact with the scalp. Therefore, the user of the hair dryer feels the wind blown from the hair dryer very hot, and the comfort at the time of use is reduced. Also, applying a high temperature wind from a position close to the scalp may stress the scalp.
　そこで、本発明の一局面では、頭皮に近い距離でヘアドライヤを使用する場合の使用性をより向上させることのできるヘアドライヤの取付具およびヘアケア装置を提供する。 Thus, in one aspect of the present invention, a hair dryer attachment and a hair care device are provided that can further improve the usability when using a hair dryer at a distance close to the scalp.
　本発明の一局面にかかる取付具は、ヘアドライヤに取り付けられる。この取付具は、風の吹き出し口を有する本体部と、前記本体部から突出し、かつ、施術箇所に接触する接触部を有する突起部とを備えている。そして、前記本体部は、前記吹き出し口から吹き出される風の少なくとも一部を、前記施術箇所とは異なる箇所へ向けて吹き出すように構成されている。 The fixture according to one aspect of the present invention is attached to a hair dryer. The fixture includes a main body having a wind outlet, and a projection having a contact portion projecting from the main body and in contact with the treatment site. And the said main-body part is comprised so that it may blow out at least one part of the wind which blows off from the said blowing outlet toward the location different from the said treatment part.
　また、本発明のもう一つの局面にかかるヘアケア装置は、ヘアドライヤと、本発明の一局面にかかる取付具とを備えている。 A hair care device according to another aspect of the present invention comprises a hair dryer and a fixture according to one aspect of the present invention.
　本発明の一局面にかかる取付具をヘアドライヤに取り付けることで、頭皮に近い距離でヘアドライヤを使用する場合の使用性をより向上させることができる。また、本発明の一局面にかかるヘアケア装置によれば、使用時の快適性を向上させることができる。 By attaching the attachment according to one aspect of the present invention to a hair dryer, usability when using the hair dryer at a distance close to the scalp can be further improved. Moreover, according to the hair care apparatus concerning 1 aspect of this invention, the comfort at the time of use can be improved.

The contact portion 21 has a slightly bulging spherical shape as compared with the other portions, like the tip of the match rod. Thereby, the contact area of the contact part with respect to the scalp at the time of treatment can be expanded. And when the projection part 12 contacts scalp, the touch of the scalp can be made more favorable. A more specific configuration of the attachment 2 will be described later.
　ヘアドライヤ３は、略円柱形状の外形を有する。図４には、ヘアドライヤ３単体での外観構成を示す。ヘアドライヤ３の外形は、主として、プラスチックなどで形成された筐体で構成されている。 The hair dryer 3 has a substantially cylindrical outer shape. FIG. 4 shows the external appearance of the hair dryer 3 alone. The outer shape of the hair dryer 3 is mainly constituted by a casing formed of plastic or the like.
　ヘアドライヤ３には、略円柱形状の長手方向の各端部に、空気の吸い込み口５７と、風の吹き出し口５９とが設けられている。ここでは、説明の便宜上、吸い込み口５７が設けられている側をヘアドライヤ３の下端部と呼び、吹き出し口５９が設けられている側をヘアドライヤ３の上端部と呼ぶ。 The hair dryer 3 is provided with an air inlet 57 and an air outlet 59 at each end of the substantially cylindrical shape in the longitudinal direction. Here, for convenience of explanation, the side provided with the suction port 57 is referred to as the lower end of the hair dryer 3 and the side provided with the outlet 59 is referred to as the upper end of the hair dryer 3.
　筐体の側面には、操作部５８が設けられている。ヘアドライヤ３の使用時に、ユーザが操作部５８を操作することで、ヘアドライヤ３が動作を開始したり停止したりする。また、操作部５８が操作されることで、吹き出し口５９から吹き出す風の種類（温風／冷風）および風量などが調節される。 An operation unit 58 is provided on the side surface of the housing. When the hair dryer 3 is used, the user operates the operation unit 58 to start or stop the operation of the hair dryer 3. Further, by operating the operation unit 58, the type (warm air / cold air), the air flow rate, and the like of the wind blown out from the blowout port 59 are adjusted.
　ヘアドライヤ３の下端部（吸い込み口５７側）には、電源コード６０が設けられている。 A power cord 60 is provided at the lower end (the suction port 57 side) of the hair dryer 3.
　図２には、ヘアケア装置１の内部構成を示す。ヘアドライヤ３の内部には、温風発生部５１、イオン供給部（帯電粒子発生装置）５２などが備えられている。 The internal structure of the hair care apparatus 1 is shown in FIG. Inside the hair dryer 3, a warm air generator 51, an ion supply unit (charged particle generator) 52 and the like are provided.
　温風発生部５１は、主な構成部材として、ファン５４、ヒータ５３、および、ファン５４を駆動するモータ５６を有している。ヘアドライヤ３の稼働時、モータ５６の駆動力によってファン５４が回転する。これにより、ヘアドライヤ３の内部で、吸い込み口５７から吹き出し口５９へと向かう空気の流れが形成される。 The hot air generation unit 51 has a fan 54, a heater 53, and a motor 56 for driving the fan 54 as main components. When the hair dryer 3 is in operation, the driving force of the motor 56 causes the fan 54 to rotate. As a result, an air flow from the suction port 57 to the blowout port 59 is formed inside the hair dryer 3.
　また、ヘアドライヤ３の稼働時、ヒータ５３が稼働することで、ヘアドライヤ３の内部に取り込まれた空気が加熱される。これにより、吹き出し口５９からは、温風が送出される。なお、ヘアドライヤ３の稼働時に、ヒータ５３の運転を停止させることもできる。この場合には、吹き出し口５９からは、冷風が送出される。 Further, when the hair dryer 3 is in operation, the heater 53 is operated, whereby the air taken into the inside of the hair dryer 3 is heated. As a result, warm air is sent from the blowout port 59. The operation of the heater 53 can also be stopped when the hair dryer 3 is in operation. In this case, cold air is sent from the blowout port 59.
　イオン供給部５２は、円筒形状の筐体の内壁に取り付けられている。イオン供給部５２は、吹き出し口５９側の近傍に配置されている。 The ion supply unit 52 is attached to the inner wall of the cylindrical case. The ion supply unit 52 is disposed in the vicinity of the outlet 59 side.
　イオン供給部５２は、正（＋）イオン（例えば、Ｈ＋（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｍ（ｍは任意の自然数））および負（－）イオン（例えば、Ｏ２ －（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｎ（ｎは任意の自然数））の少なくとも何れかを発生する。本実施形態では、イオン供給部５２は、正イオンおよび負イオンの両方を放出する。ヘアドライヤ３にイオン供給部５２が備えられていることで、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出す風にイオンを含有させることができる。ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出す風にイオンが含まれていることで、施術される毛髪および頭皮に水分を補給したり、毛髪内のケラチン変性を抑えたりすることができる。これにより、毛髪および頭皮に対するトリートメント効果をより向上させることができる。 The ion supply unit 52 includes positive (+) ions (for example, H + (H 2 O) m (m is an arbitrary natural number)) and negative (−) ions (for example, O 2 − (H 2 O) n (n Generates at least one of arbitrary natural numbers)). In the present embodiment, the ion supply unit 52 emits both positive ions and negative ions. By the provision of the ion supply unit 52 in the hair dryer 3, the wind blown out from the hair dryer 3 can contain ions. Since the wind blown out of the hair dryer 3 contains ions, it is possible to rehydrate the hair and scalp to be treated and to suppress keratin degeneration in the hair. This can further improve the treatment effect on the hair and scalp.
　また、Ｈ＋（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｍおよびＯ２ －（Ｈ２Ｏ）ｎは、空気中の浮遊細菌の表面に付着し、化学反応して活性種であるＨ２Ｏ２または・ＯＨ（水酸基ラジカル）を生成する。このＨ２Ｏ２または・ＯＨは、極めて強力な活性を示すため、空気中の浮遊細菌であるカビや雑菌を取り囲んで不活化、除去することができる。そのため、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出す風をより清浄な状態にすることができる。イオン供給部５２としては、例えば、特許文献２（特開２０１３－１０２８２６号公報）に開示されたイオン発生器などが用いられる。 Further, H + (H 2 O) m and O 2 - (H 2 O) n is attached to the surface of airborne fungi in the air are active species by chemical reaction H 2 O 2 or · OH (hydroxyl Radical). Since this H 2 O 2 or .OH exhibits extremely strong activity, it can be inactivated and removed around molds and bacteria that are airborne bacteria in the air. Therefore, the wind blown from the hair dryer 3 can be made cleaner. As the ion supply unit 52, for example, an ion generator disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-102826) or the like is used.
　吹き出し口５９により近い側のイオン供給部５２の端部には、イオン供給口５５が設けられている。これにより、イオン供給部５２で生成されるイオン（正イオンおよび負イオン）を吹き出し口５９から吹き出すことができる。 An ion supply port 55 is provided at an end of the ion supply unit 52 closer to the blowout port 59. Thereby, the ions (positive ions and negative ions) generated by the ion supply unit 52 can be blown out from the blowout port 59.
　なお、本発明の別の態様では、負イオンのみを発生させるイオン供給部を備えるヘアドライヤを採用することもできる。この場合にも、本実施形態と同様の構成が適用できる。 In another aspect of the present invention, a hair dryer provided with an ion supply unit that generates only negative ions can be employed. Also in this case, the same configuration as this embodiment can be applied.
　なお、本発明の一態様のヘアドライヤに備えられる帯電粒子発生装置は、イオン供給部に限定されるものではなく、放電により、イオン、電子、オゾン、ラジカル、活性種などを発生させる放電装置であればよい。また、帯電粒子発生装置がイオンを発生させる場合は、正イオンと負イオンの両方を発生させる構成であっても、正イオンあるいは負イオンの何れか一方を発生させる構成であってもよい。 Note that the charged particle generation device provided in the hair dryer of one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the ion supply unit, and may be a discharge device that generates ions, electrons, ozone, radicals, active species and the like by discharge. Just do it. When the charged particle generator generates ions, it may be configured to generate both positive ions and negative ions, or may be configured to generate either positive ions or negative ions.
　以上の構成により、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９から風を吹き出すことができる。ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９を毛髪の近くに置くことで、吹き出し口５９からの風を毛髪へ当てることができる。これにより、毛髪を乾燥させることができる。 By the above configuration, the wind can be blown out from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3. By placing the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 near the hair, the wind from the blowout port 59 can be applied to the hair. Thereby, the hair can be dried.
　また、ヘアドライヤ３には、イオン供給部５２が備えられているため、吹き出し口５９から吹き出される空気の中にイオンを含ませることができる。これにより、毛髪および頭皮をトリートメントする効果が得られる。 Further, since the hair dryer 3 is provided with the ion supply unit 52, the air blown out from the blowout port 59 can contain ions. This has the effect of treating the hair and scalp.
　本実施形態では、上記の構成を有するヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９にアタッチメント２が取り付けられる。後述するように、アタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部には、空間が形成されている。この空間が、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９から吹き出された風を、ユーザの施術箇所およびその近傍へ導く風路となっている。 In the present embodiment, the attachment 2 is attached to the outlet 59 of the hair dryer 3 having the above configuration. As described later, a space is formed inside the main body 11 of the attachment 2. This space is an air path which guides the wind blown out from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 to the treatment site of the user and the vicinity thereof.
　つまり、本実施形態にかかるヘアケア装置１によれば、ヘアドライヤ３から供給される風を、アタッチメント２内部の風路を通過させて、主としてユーザの施術箇所へ送出することができる。上述したように、アタッチメント２には、接触部２１を有する突起部１２が設けられている。そのため、ヘアケア装置１を使用するユーザは、ヘアドライヤ３から供給されるイオンを含む風を、毛髪または頭皮に当てながら、突起部１２の先端部（すなわち、接触部２１）を頭皮または毛髪に接触させて施術箇所のマッサージを行うことができる。 That is, according to the hair care apparatus 1 concerning this embodiment, the wind supplied from the hair dryer 3 can be sent mainly to the treatment site of the user by passing the air path inside the attachment 2. As described above, the attachment 2 is provided with the protrusion 12 having the contact portion 21. Therefore, the user using the hair care device 1 causes the tip of the projection 12 (ie, the contact portion 21) to contact the scalp or the hair while applying the wind containing the ions supplied from the hair dryer 3 to the hair or scalp. You can massage the treatment site.
　なお、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９には、アタッチメント２以外の形状のアタッチメント（例えば、ブラシ形状のアタッチメント）を取り付けることもできる。この場合には、毛髪を乾燥させつつ、髪をブローしたり、髪のスタイリングをしたりすることもできる。 An attachment (for example, a brush-shaped attachment) having a shape other than the attachment 2 can be attached to the outlet 59 of the hair dryer 3. In this case, while drying the hair, it is possible to blow the hair or style the hair.
　（アタッチメントの構成）
　続いて、アタッチメント２のより具体的な構成について、図３および図５から図７を参照しながら説明する。 (Configuration of attachment)
Subsequently, a more specific configuration of the attachment 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 5 to 7.
　図３は、アタッチメント２の外観構成を示す。図５には、アタッチメント２の各構成部材を分解した状態で示す。図６は、アタッチメント２を、突起部１２の先端（すなわち、接触部２１）側から見た状態を示す。図７は、アタッチメント２を、風の流入口１８側から見た状態を示す。 FIG. 3 shows the appearance of the attachment 2. In FIG. 5, each structural member of the attachment 2 is shown in the disassembled state. FIG. 6 shows the attachment 2 as viewed from the end of the projection 12 (i.e., the contact portion 21). FIG. 7 shows the attachment 2 as viewed from the wind inlet 18 side.
　上述したように、アタッチメント２は、主として、本体部１１と、本体部１１から突出する突起部１２とで構成されている。図３に示すように、本体部１１は、概略的には円錐台の形状を有している。そして、略円錐台形状の各底面に、流入口１８と、第１の吹き出し口である吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂとがそれぞれ設けられている。具体的には、円錐台の面積が小さい方の底面に、ヘアドライヤ３からの風が流入する流入口１８が設けられており、円錐台の面積が大きい方の底面に、毛髪または頭皮の施術箇所へ向けて風を吹き出す吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂが形成されている。 As described above, the attachment 2 is mainly configured by the main body 11 and the projection 12 projecting from the main body 11. As shown in FIG. 3, the main body 11 has a generally truncated cone shape. Then, an inflow port 18 and outlet ports 22a and 22b, which are the first outlet ports, are respectively provided on the bottom surface of the substantially truncated cone shape. Specifically, an inlet 18 through which the wind from the hair dryer 3 flows is provided on the bottom of the smaller area of the truncated cone, and the hair or scalp treatment site is provided on the bottom of the larger area of the truncated cone. Air outlets 22a and 22b are formed to blow wind toward the air.
　言い換えると、本体部１１は、流入口１８側の端部で、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９と接続されている。図２に示すように、本体部１１の流入口１８側の端部は、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９の周囲を覆うようにして、ヘアドライヤ３の上端部に取り付けられている。 In other words, the main body 11 is connected to the outlet 59 of the hair dryer 3 at the end on the inlet 18 side. As shown in FIG. 2, the end on the inlet 18 side of the main body 11 is attached to the upper end of the hair dryer 3 so as to cover the periphery of the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3.
　本明細書では、説明の便宜上、本体部１１の流入口１８側の端部を、本体部１１またはアタッチメント２の下端部または下側と呼び、本体部１１の吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂ側の端部を、本体部１１またはアタッチメント２の上端部または上側と呼ぶ。また、本体部１１の各端部をヘアドライヤ３の風の流れの方向で規定する場合には、本体部１１の流入口１８側の端部を上流側と呼び、本体部１１の吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂ側の端部を下流側と呼ぶ。 In the present specification, for convenience of explanation, the end on the inlet 18 side of the main body 11 is referred to as the lower end or lower side of the main body 11 or the attachment 2, and the end on the blowout ports 22a and 22b of the main body 11 Is called the upper end or upper side of the main body 11 or the attachment 2. When each end of the main body 11 is defined by the direction of the air flow of the hair dryer 3, the end on the inflow port 18 side of the main body 11 is called the upstream side, and the outlet 22 a of the main body 11 and the outlet 22 a The end on the 22b side is called the downstream side.
　また、本明細書では、アタッチメント２の各構成要素の形状および位置関係などを説明するにあたって、便宜上、アタッチメント２を図３に示すようなＸ、Ｙ、Ｚという三方向の座標軸で規定する。Ｘ方向は、突起部１２の各接触部２１のうち、両側の端部に位置する接触部２１ａおよび接触部２１ｅ同士を結ぶ線に沿った方向である。Ｙ方向は、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂが形成されている面上で、上記Ｘ方向と直行する方向である。Ｚ方向は、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂが形成されている面に直交する方向である。 Further, in the present specification, in describing the shapes and positional relationships of the components of the attachment 2, for convenience, the attachment 2 is defined by three coordinate axes of X, Y, and Z as shown in FIG. 3. The X direction is a direction along a line connecting the contact portions 21 a and the contact portions 21 e located at the end portions of both the contact portions 21 of the protrusion 12. The Y direction is a direction orthogonal to the X direction on the surface on which the outlets 22a and 22b are formed. The Z direction is a direction orthogonal to the plane in which the outlets 22a and 22b are formed.
　以上より、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂは、本体部１１の上端側の面（この面を、便宜上、本体部１１の前面と呼ぶ）に設けられているとも言える。第１の吹き出し口である吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂからは、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出された風の大部分（例えば、ヘアドライヤ３からの風量の５０％以上９０％以下の風量）が吹き出される。つまり、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂは、ヘアケア装置１における主たる風の吹き出し口である。そして、ヘアケア装置１の使用時、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂからユーザの頭皮または毛髪の施術箇所へ向けて、直接的に風が吹き出される。 From the above, it can be said that the blowout ports 22a and 22b are provided on the surface on the upper end side of the main body 11 (this surface is called the front surface of the main body 11 for convenience). Most of the wind blown out of the hair dryer 3 (for example, 50% or more and 90% or less of the air volume from the hair dryer 3) is blown out from the blowout ports 22a and 22b which are the first blowout ports. That is, the outlets 22a and 22b are outlets of the main wind in the hair care device 1. Then, when the hair care device 1 is used, wind is blown out directly from the blowout ports 22a and 22b toward the scalp or the treatment site of the hair.
　そのため、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂは、本体部１１の前面の突起部形成位置１５ｄ（図５参照）を取り囲むように配置されている（図３参照）。 Therefore, the outlets 22a and 22b are arranged to surround the protrusion forming position 15d (see FIG. 5) on the front surface of the main body 11 (see FIG. 3).
　なお、ここで、施術箇所とは、ユーザの頭皮または毛髪の一部分であって、ヘアケア装置１を用い重点的にケアされる場所のことを意味する。例えば、ヘアケア装置１の使用時に、アタッチメント２の突起部１２の先端の各接触部２１が接触する箇所が施術箇所に相当する。なお、ヘアケア装置１の使用時、ユーザは、頭皮または毛髪に対してヘアケア装置１を移動させながらケア（施術）を行う。したがって、施術箇所は順次移動する。 Here, the treatment site means a part of the user's scalp or hair, which is a place to be intensively treated using the hair care device 1. For example, when the hair care device 1 is used, the point at which each contact portion 21 at the tip of the protrusion 12 of the attachment 2 contacts corresponds to the treatment point. In addition, at the time of use of the hair care apparatus 1, a user performs care (treatment), moving the hair care apparatus 1 with respect to scalp or hair. Therefore, the treatment site moves sequentially.
　また、ここで、施術箇所とは異なる箇所とは、上記の施術箇所以外のあらゆる場所のことを意味する。そして、施術箇所の周囲または施術箇所の近傍とは、施術箇所とは異なる箇所に含まれるが、施術箇所から比較的近距離（例えば、半径５０ｃｍ以内）にある場所のことを意味する。例えば、ヘアケア装置１のユーザの頭部全体は、施術箇所の周囲または施術箇所の近傍に含まれる。 Here, a place different from the treatment site means any place other than the above-mentioned treatment site. The term “around the treatment site or in the vicinity of the treatment site” means a place which is included in a place different from the treatment site but is relatively close to the treatment site (for example, within a radius of 50 cm). For example, the entire head of the user of the hair care device 1 is included around or near the treatment site.
　また、本体部１１には、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂとは別の風の吹き出し口として、周縁吹き出し口２３（第２の吹き出し口）が設けられている。周縁吹き出し口２３は、本体部１１の外周面に沿って設けられている。本実施形態では、本体部１１の外周の略半周に亘って、周縁吹き出し口２３が形成されている。また、周縁吹き出し口２３は、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂよりも本体部１１の下端側に位置している。 Further, the main body portion 11 is provided with a peripheral air outlet 23 (a second air outlet) as an air outlet different from the air outlets 22a and 22b. The peripheral air outlet 23 is provided along the outer peripheral surface of the main body 11. In the present embodiment, the peripheral air outlet 23 is formed over substantially a half of the outer periphery of the main body 11. The peripheral air outlet 23 is located closer to the lower end of the main body 11 than the air outlets 22a and 22b.
　この構成により、ヘアケア装置１の使用時、周縁吹き出し口２３からの風は、施術箇所とは異なる箇所へ向けて吹き出される。具体的には、周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出される風は、施術箇所の周囲、または施術箇所の近傍に流れるように構成されている。 With this configuration, when the hair care device 1 is used, the wind from the peripheral air outlet 23 is blown out to a location different from the treatment site. Specifically, the wind blown out from the peripheral outlet 23 is configured to flow around the treatment site or in the vicinity of the treatment site.
　このように、本実施形態では、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出された風は、本体部１１を通過することによって、その少なくとも一部が施術箇所とは異なる箇所へ向けて吹き出される。 Thus, in the present embodiment, when the wind blown out of the hair dryer 3 passes through the main body 11, at least a part of the wind is blown out to a location different from the treatment site.
　アタッチメント２は、複数の構成部材を組み立てて形成されている。以下では、図５を参照しながら、アタッチメント２を構成する各構成部材について説明する。 The attachment 2 is formed by assembling a plurality of constituent members. Below, each structural member which comprises the attachment 2 is demonstrated, referring FIG.
　本実施形態では、アタッチメント２は、筒状部材１３、風路形成部材１４、先端部材１５、およびカバー部材１６に分解される。これらの各部材のうち、筒状部材１３、風路形成部材１４、先端部材１５の一部、およびカバー部材１６で、本体部１１が形成されている。また、先端部材１５の一部で突起部１２が形成されている。本実施形態では、各構成部材は、金属と比較して熱伝導率の低い樹脂材料（例えば、プラスチックなど）で形成されている。但し、各構成部材の材料は特に限定されない。 In the present embodiment, the attachment 2 is disassembled into the cylindrical member 13, the air passage forming member 14, the tip member 15, and the cover member 16. Among these members, the main body 11 is formed by the cylindrical member 13, the air passage forming member 14, a part of the tip member 15, and the cover member 16. Further, a protrusion 12 is formed on a part of the tip member 15. In the present embodiment, each constituent member is formed of a resin material (for example, plastic or the like) having a thermal conductivity lower than that of metal. However, the material of each component is not particularly limited.
　筒状部材１３は、円筒形状（より具体的には、ベルマウス形状）の本体部１１の外形を主に形成する。筒状部材１３は、外周面３１、内周面３２、凹み部３３などを有する。内周面３２は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風が通過する風路を形成する。 The cylindrical member 13 mainly forms the outer shape of the main body 11 having a cylindrical shape (more specifically, a bell mouth shape). The cylindrical member 13 has an outer peripheral surface 31, an inner peripheral surface 32, a recess 33 and the like. The inner circumferential surface 32 forms an air passage through which the wind from the hair dryer 3 passes.
　凹み部３３は、外周面３１よりも一段内側に凹んだ位置に存在する。凹み部３３は、後述するカバー部材１６によって覆われる。また、凹み部３３には、外周面３１との境界付近に開口部３３ａが形成されている。これにより、内周面３２の内側を通る風の一部が、開口部３３ａを通って凹み部３３側へ流れる。 The recessed portion 33 is present at a position recessed one step inward of the outer peripheral surface 31. The recess 33 is covered by a cover member 16 described later. Further, an opening 33 a is formed in the recess 33 near the boundary with the outer peripheral surface 31. Thereby, a part of the wind passing through the inside of the inner circumferential surface 32 flows toward the recess 33 through the opening 33 a.
　風路形成部材１４は、筒状部材１３の内部（内周面３２）に嵌め込まれる。風路形成部材１４は、湾曲板部３４（風受け部）、風量規制部３５、および差し込み穴３６などを有する。湾曲板部３４は、筒状部材１３の内周面３２によって形成される風路を、２つに分割する。 The air passage forming member 14 is fitted into the inside (inner peripheral surface 32) of the cylindrical member 13. The air passage forming member 14 has a curved plate portion 34 (air receiving portion), an air amount regulating portion 35, an insertion hole 36 and the like. The curved plate portion 34 divides the air passage formed by the inner peripheral surface 32 of the cylindrical member 13 into two.
　具体的には、湾曲板部３４は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を、突起部１２周辺の吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへと導く第１の風路Ｐ１と、周縁吹き出し口２３へと導く第２の風路Ｐ２とに、区切る（図２、図７、図１０など参照）。なお、湾曲板部３４は、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出された風の一部（特に、温度ピーク側に位置する風）が吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへと流れることを遮断する遮断部材としての役割も果たす。 Specifically, the curved plate portion 34 guides the wind from the hair dryer 3 to the first air path P1 for guiding the air outlets 22a and 22b around the protrusion 12 and the second air wind for guiding the air outlet 23 to the peripheral air outlet 23. It divides into the path P2 (see FIG. 2, FIG. 7, FIG. 10, etc.). The curved plate portion 34 also plays a role as a blocking member that blocks the flow of a part of the wind blown from the hair dryer 3 (in particular, the wind located on the temperature peak side) to the blowout ports 22a and 22b.
　風量規制部３５は、概略的にＸ方向に沿って一列に並んで配置されている接触部２１ａ～２１ｅの中央部（接触部２１ｃの配置位置）に対応する位置に配置されている。これにより、本体部１１内の第１の風路Ｐ１を通って吹き出し口２２ｂから吹き出す風のうち、中央部の接触部２１ｃ周辺から吹き出す風の量を低下させることができる。この構成により、ユーザの施術箇所に最短距離で到達する風の量が減少するため、温風吹出時のユーザの体感温度を下げることができる。 The air flow rate regulation portion 35 is disposed at a position corresponding to the central portion (arrangement position of the contact portion 21c) of the contact portions 21a to 21e which are generally arranged in a line along the X direction. Thus, it is possible to reduce the amount of wind blown out from the periphery of the contact portion 21c in the central portion among the wind blown out from the outlet 22b through the first air path P1 in the main body portion 11. With this configuration, the amount of wind reaching the treatment site of the user at the shortest distance is reduced, so that the user's perceived temperature at the time of hot air blowing can be lowered.
　また、風量規制部３５が設けられていることで、本体部１１内の第１の風路Ｐ１を通って吹き出し口２２ｂから吹き出す風を、風量規制部３５の両側に分割させることができる（図１１参照）。 In addition, the provision of the air volume restricting portion 35 allows the air flow blown out from the outlet 22b through the first air passage P1 in the main body 11 to be divided on both sides of the air volume restricting portion 35 (see FIG. 11).
　差し込み穴３６は、湾曲板部３４の両端部にそれぞれ設けられており、先端部材１５側へ突出するように延びている。差し込み穴３６には、先端部材１５の差し込み部１５ｃが差し込まれる。これにより、先端部材１５は固定され、本体部１１の一部を構成する。 The insertion holes 36 are respectively provided at both ends of the curved plate portion 34 and extend so as to protrude toward the tip end member 15 side. The insertion portion 15 c of the tip member 15 is inserted into the insertion hole 36. Thereby, the tip end member 15 is fixed and constitutes a part of the main body portion 11.
　先端部材１５は、本体部１１の前面を構成する。この前面には、第１の壁部１５ａ、第２の壁部１５ｂ、吹き出し口２２ａ、および吹き出し口２２ｂなどが設けられている。また、先端部材１５には、前面から突出するように突起部１２が設けられている。突起部１２の各突起は、前面の突起部形成位置１５ｄから略Ｚ方向に延びている。突起部１２の各突起の先端に接触部２１がそれぞれ設けられている。 The tip member 15 constitutes the front surface of the main body 11. On the front surface, a first wall portion 15a, a second wall portion 15b, an outlet 22a, an outlet 22b, and the like are provided. In addition, the tip end member 15 is provided with a protrusion 12 so as to protrude from the front surface. Each protrusion of the protrusions 12 extends in the substantially Z direction from the protrusion forming position 15 d on the front surface. Contact portions 21 are provided at the tips of the protrusions of the protrusions 12 respectively.
　図６を参照しながら、先端部材１５の前面の構成について説明する。ここでは、説明の便宜上、図６に示す各矢印ＸおよびＹの方向で、各校要素の位置関係を説明する。但し、ヘアケア装置１の使用時には必ずしもこの位置関係で使用されるとは限らない。 The configuration of the front surface of the tip member 15 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, for convenience of explanation, the positional relationship of each school element will be described in the directions of arrows X and Y shown in FIG. However, when the hair care device 1 is used, it is not always used in this positional relationship.
　先端部材１５の前面は、略円形の形状を有している。突起部１２の各接触部２１は、前面をＸ方向に横断するように、一列に並んで配置されている。なお、本実施形態では、突起部１２の各接触部２１は、直線状に配列するのではなく、列の中間に位置する３つの接触部２１ｂ・２１ｃ・２１ｄが、矢印Ｙ方向（図中、上方向）にややずれて配置されている。すなわち、各接触部２１は、全体で弧を描くように配列されている。 The front surface of the tip member 15 has a substantially circular shape. The contact portions 21 of the projection 12 are arranged in a line so as to cross the front surface in the X direction. In the present embodiment, the contact portions 21 of the protrusions 12 are not arranged in a straight line, but the three contact portions 21b, 21c, and 21d located in the middle of the row are in the arrow Y direction (in FIG. Upward) is placed slightly offset. That is, each contact portion 21 is arranged to draw an arc as a whole.
　第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂは、中央に位置する接触部２１ｃを間に挟んでＹ方向の両側にそれぞれ位置している。すなわち、図６中では、接触部２１ｃの上側に、第１の壁部１５ａが位置し、接触部２１ｃの下側に、第２の壁部１５ｂが位置する。 The first wall portion 15a and the second wall portion 15b are respectively located on both sides in the Y direction across the contact portion 21c located at the center. That is, in FIG. 6, the first wall 15a is located above the contact portion 21c, and the second wall 15b is located below the contact portion 21c.
　図７には、アタッチメント２を流入口１８側から見た状態を示す。図７に示すように、流入口１８から流入した風は、風路形成部材１４の湾曲板部３４によって、２つの流路（すなわち、第１の風路Ｐ１と第２の風路Ｐ２）に分割されて流れる。図７では、第１の風路Ｐ１および第２の風路Ｐ２は、上下に分割されている。これら２つの流路のうち、第１の風路Ｐ１（図７では上側の風路）の正面には、先端部材１５の第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂが位置する。 FIG. 7 shows the attachment 2 as viewed from the inlet 18 side. As shown in FIG. 7, the air flowed in from the inflow port 18 is made to the two flow paths (that is, the first air path P1 and the second air path P2) by the curved plate portion 34 of the air path forming member 14. It is divided and flows. In FIG. 7, the first air path P1 and the second air path P2 are divided into upper and lower. Of the two flow paths, the first wall 15a and the second wall 15b of the tip member 15 are located in front of the first air path P1 (the upper air path in FIG. 7).
　これは、第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂが、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９からアタッチメント２の第１の風路Ｐ１へ吹き込まれた風の障壁となることを意味する。つまり、第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂが設けられていることで、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９からアタッチメント２の第１の風路Ｐ１へ吹き込んだ風が、施術箇所へ直接吹き出されることを抑えることができる。これにより、ヘアケア装置１の使用時にユーザの体感温度を下げることができる。 This means that the first wall portion 15a and the second wall portion 15b serve as a barrier against the wind blown from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 to the first air path P1 of the attachment 2. That is, by providing the first wall portion 15a and the second wall portion 15b, the wind blown into the first air path P1 of the attachment 2 from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 blows out directly to the treatment site Can be suppressed. Thereby, the user's sensible temperature can be lowered when using the hair care device 1.
　なお、図７に示す状態で、本体部１１の内部の下方部分には、第２の風路Ｐ２が形成されている。図７に示すように、流入口１８側から見て、本体部１１の前方側（風の流れの下流側）の第２の風路Ｐ２に相当する位置には、風路形成部材１４の湾曲板部３４が配置されている。これは、流入口１８から本体部１１の内部の下方部分に流入した風の前方への進行が湾曲板部３４によって遮断されることを意味する。つまり、第２の風路Ｐ２を流れる風は、湾曲板部３４によって前方への進行が妨害され、筒状部材１３の下方側に形成された開口部３３ａ側へ流れる。 In the state shown in FIG. 7, a second air passage P2 is formed in the lower portion inside the main body portion 11. As shown in FIG. 7, the curve of the air passage forming member 14 at a position corresponding to the second air passage P2 on the front side (downstream side of the flow of air) of the main body 11 as viewed from the inlet 18 side. The plate portion 34 is disposed. This means that the forward movement of the wind flowing from the inlet 18 into the lower part of the inside of the main body 11 is blocked by the curved plate 34. That is, the wind flowing through the second air path P2 is prevented from advancing forward by the curved plate portion 34, and flows toward the opening 33a formed on the lower side of the cylindrical member 13.
　また、先端部材１５の前面には、第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂが形成されている箇所以外の箇所に、吹き出し口２２ａおよび吹き出し口２２ｂが形成されている。図６に示すように、吹き出し口２２ａおよび吹き出し口２２ｂは、突起部１２の形成位置を間に挟んで、Ｙ方向（図６では上下方向）にそれぞれ配置されている。 Further, a blowout port 22a and a blowout port 22b are formed on the front surface of the tip member 15 at places other than the places where the first wall portion 15a and the second wall portion 15b are formed. As shown in FIG. 6, the outlet 22a and the outlet 22b are respectively disposed in the Y direction (in the vertical direction in FIG. 6) with the formation position of the protrusion 12 interposed therebetween.
　具体的には、図６に示す状態では、吹き出し口２２ａは、突起部形成位置の上側に位置する。また、吹き出し口２２ａは、Ｘ方向の中央部に形成されている第１の壁部１５ａの両側にそれぞれ形成されている。また、図６に示す状態では、吹き出し口２２ｂは、突起部形成位置の下側に位置する。吹き出し口２２ｂは、図６に示す状態で、先端部材１５の前面の下方の大部分を占めるように形成されている。また、施術箇所（または接触部２１）からの正面視で、吹き出し口２２ｂの背面側には、風路形成部材１４の湾曲板部３４が位置する（図６参照）。 Specifically, in the state shown in FIG. 6, the outlet 22a is located above the protrusion forming position. Further, the blowout ports 22a are respectively formed on both sides of the first wall portion 15a formed at the central portion in the X direction. Further, in the state shown in FIG. 6, the outlet 22b is located below the protrusion forming position. The outlet 22b is formed to occupy most of the lower part of the front surface of the tip member 15 in the state shown in FIG. Further, the curved plate portion 34 of the air passage forming member 14 is positioned on the back side of the outlet 22b in a front view from the treatment site (or the contact portion 21) (see FIG. 6).
　以上のように、本実施形態では、アタッチメント２を施術箇所（または接触部２１）から見た場合に、ヘアドライヤ３からの風が流入する流入口１８が、本体部を構成する部材（具体的には、第１の壁部１５ａ、第２の壁部１５ｂ、および湾曲板部３４など）によって覆い隠された状態となっている（図６参照）。また、流入口１８側からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部を見た場合に、本体部１１を構成する部材（具体的には、第１の壁部１５ａ、第２の壁部１５ｂ、および湾曲板部３４など）によって前方が遮蔽された状態となっている（図７参照）。 As described above, in the present embodiment, when the attachment 2 is viewed from the treatment site (or the contact portion 21), the inlet 18 through which the air from the hair dryer 3 flows is a member that constitutes the main body (specifically Is covered by the first wall portion 15a, the second wall portion 15b, the curved plate portion 34, etc.) (see FIG. 6). In addition, when the inside of the main body 11 of the attachment 2 is viewed from the inflow port 18 side, members constituting the main body 11 (specifically, the first wall 15 a, the second wall 15 b, and the curve) The front is shielded by the plate portion 34 and the like (see FIG. 7).
　カバー部材１６は、略板状の部材が円弧を描くように湾曲した形状を有する。カバー部材１６は、外周面３７と、内周面３８とを有する。カバー部材１６は、筒状部材１３の外周の一部（具体的には、凹み部３３）を覆うように、筒状部材１３に取り付けられる。本実施形態では、先端部材１５において第１の壁部１５ａが形成されている側の筒状部材１３の外周部に、カバー部材１６が取り付けられている。 The cover member 16 has a curved shape such that a substantially plate-like member draws a circular arc. The cover member 16 has an outer circumferential surface 37 and an inner circumferential surface 38. The cover member 16 is attached to the cylindrical member 13 so as to cover a part of the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 13 (specifically, the recess 33). In the present embodiment, the cover member 16 is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical member 13 on the side where the first wall portion 15 a is formed in the tip end member 15.
　カバー部材１６が筒状部材１３に取り付けられた状態で、筒状部材１３の凹み部３３とカバー部材１６の内周面３８との間に空間が形成される。この空間は、開口部３３ａから周縁吹き出し口２３へと通じており、第２の風路Ｐ２の一部を構成する。 With the cover member 16 attached to the cylindrical member 13, a space is formed between the recess 33 of the cylindrical member 13 and the inner circumferential surface 38 of the cover member 16. This space leads from the opening 33a to the peripheral air outlet 23, and constitutes a part of the second air passage P2.
　（アタッチメント内の風の流れについて）
　続いて、アタッチメント２内の風の流れについて、図２および図８から図１２を参照しながら説明する。図８および図９には、カバー部材１６を取り外した状態のアタッチメント２を図示し、そこでの風の流れを示している。図１０には、アタッチメント２の断面構成を図示し、そこでの風の流れを示している。図１１および図１２には、先端部材１５を取り外した状態のアタッチメント２を図示し、本体部１１内の風の流れを示している。各図では、第１の風路Ｐ１内の風Ｗ１を実線の矢印で示し、第２の風路Ｐ２内の風Ｗ２を破線の矢印で示している。 (About the flow of wind in the attachment)
Subsequently, the flow of the wind in the attachment 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 8 to 12. 8 and 9 illustrate the attachment 2 with the cover member 16 removed, showing the flow of wind there. In FIG. 10, the cross-sectional structure of the attachment 2 is shown in figure, and the flow of the wind there is shown. 11 and 12 show the attachment 2 in a state in which the tip end member 15 is removed, and shows the flow of the wind in the main body portion 11. In each of the drawings, the wind W1 in the first air passage P1 is indicated by a solid arrow, and the wind W2 in the second air passage P2 is indicated by a broken arrow.
　図２に示すように、本体部１１の内部は、空洞状になっている。本体部１１内のこの空間には、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を、ユーザの施術箇所およびその近傍へ導く風路が形成されている。上述したように、本実施形態では、本体部１１の内部には、大きく分けて２つの風路（第１の風路Ｐ１および第２の風路Ｐ２）が存在する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the main body 11 is hollow. In this space in the main body portion 11, an air passage is formed to guide the wind from the hair dryer 3 to the treatment site of the user and the vicinity thereof. As described above, in the present embodiment, the air passage (the first air passage P1 and the second air passage P2) is roughly divided into two insides of the main body portion 11.
　第１の風路Ｐ１は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへと導く風路である。言い換えると、第１の風路Ｐ１は、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９から吹き出される風を、その吹き出し方向に概ね沿って施術箇所へ導く風路と言える。 The first air path P1 is an air path for guiding the wind from the hair dryer 3 to the outlets 22a and 22b. In other words, the first air path P1 can be said to be an air path for guiding the wind blown out from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 to the treatment site generally along the blowout direction.
　第２の風路Ｐ２は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を周縁吹き出し口２３へと導く風路である。言い換えると、第２の風路Ｐ２は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を施術箇所以外の箇所へ導く風路と言える。 The second air path P2 is an air path for guiding the wind from the hair dryer 3 to the peripheral air outlet 23. In other words, the second air path P2 can be said to be an air path for guiding the wind from the hair dryer 3 to a place other than the treatment site.
　以下に、第１の風路Ｐ１の風の流れを上流側から順に説明する。流入口１８からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部へ流入した風の一部は、図１２に示すように、風路形成部材１４の配置位置とは反対側（図１２では上側）へ流れ込む。この風が、第１の風路Ｐ１を流れる風Ｗ１となる。 Below, the flow of the wind of the 1st air path P1 is demonstrated in an order from an upstream. As shown in FIG. 12, a part of the air flowing from the inflow port 18 into the inside of the main body 11 of the attachment 2 flows to the opposite side (upper side in FIG. 12) to the arrangement position of the air passage forming member. This wind becomes the wind W1 flowing through the first air path P1.
　図１０に示すように、風Ｗ１は、筒状部材１３の内部を先端部材１５側へ向かって流れる。筒状部材１３の内周面３２は、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂが形成された先端部材１５へ向かって内径が徐々に増加するベルマウス形状を有している。つまり、風Ｗ１が通る第１の風路Ｐ１は、下流側へ向かって拡張される。 As shown in FIG. 10, the wind W1 flows toward the end member 15 through the inside of the cylindrical member 13. The inner circumferential surface 32 of the cylindrical member 13 has a bell mouth shape in which the inner diameter gradually increases toward the tip member 15 in which the outlets 22a and 22b are formed. That is, the first air path P1 through which the wind W1 passes is expanded toward the downstream side.
　このとき、図１１に示すように、風Ｗ１は、吹き出し口２２ａ側へ向かうとともに、吹き出し口２２ｂ側へ向かう。吹き出し口２２ｂ側へ向かう風の大部分は、湾曲板部３４を沿って流れる。湾曲板部３４を沿って流れる風は、風量規制部３５によってＷ１ａとＷ１ｂとに分岐する。これにより、吹き出し口２２ｂのＸ方向の中央部から吹き出される風の量を低減させることができる。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the wind W1 is directed to the outlet 22a and to the outlet 22b. Most of the wind directed toward the outlet 22 b flows along the curved plate portion 34. The air flowing along the curved plate portion 34 is branched into W1a and W1b by the air amount regulating portion 35. Thereby, the quantity of the wind which blows off from the center part of the X direction of the blowing outlet 22b can be reduced.
　なお、第１の風路Ｐ１の壁面を構成する筒状部材１３の内周面３２は、風の流れの方向に沿って湾曲している。また、第１の風路Ｐ１の壁面の一部を構成する風路形成部材１４の湾曲板部３４も、その表面が、風の流れの方向に沿って滑らかな曲面を有している。これにより、第１の風路Ｐ１を通過する風量の損失を減少させることができる。 In addition, the internal peripheral surface 32 of the cylindrical member 13 which comprises the wall surface of the 1st air path P1 is curving along the direction of the flow of a wind. In addition, the curved plate portion 34 of the air passage forming member 14 which constitutes a part of the wall surface of the first air passage P1 also has a smooth curved surface along the direction of the flow of the wind. Thereby, the loss of the volume of air passing through the first air path P1 can be reduced.
　以下に、第２の風路Ｐ２の風の流れを上流側から順に説明する。 Below, the flow of the wind of the 2nd air path P2 is demonstrated in an order from an upstream.
　流入口１８からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部へ流入した風の一部は、風路形成部材１４が配置されている側へ流れ込む。この風が、第２の風路Ｐ２を流れる風Ｗ２となる（図１０参照）。 A part of the wind that has flowed into the inside of the main body 11 of the attachment 2 from the inflow port 18 flows to the side where the air passage forming member 14 is disposed. This wind becomes the wind W2 flowing in the second air path P2 (see FIG. 10).
　図１０に示すように、風Ｗ２は、湾曲板部３４によって先端部材１５側への進行が妨げられる。これにより、風Ｗ２は、筒状部材１３の凹み部３３に形成された開口部３３ａの方へ流れ込む（図８および図９参照）。開口部３３ａへ流れ込んだ風Ｗ２は、筒状部材１３の凹み部３３とカバー部材１６の内周面３８との間に形成された空間を通り、周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出す（図１０参照）。 As shown in FIG. 10, the wind W2 is prevented by the curved plate portion 34 from advancing toward the tip end member 15 side. Thereby, the wind W2 flows toward the opening 33a formed in the recess 33 of the cylindrical member 13 (see FIGS. 8 and 9). The wind W2 flowing into the opening 33a passes through the space formed between the recess 33 of the cylindrical member 13 and the inner peripheral surface 38 of the cover member 16 and blows out from the peripheral air outlet 23 (see FIG. 10).
　以上のように、本実施形態にかかるアタッチメント２では、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９から流入口１８へ流入する風の一部を、突起部１２の周囲に設けられた吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂから吹き出すとともに、流入口１８へ流入する風の他の一部を周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出すことができる。吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂから吹き出された風Ｗ１は、ユーザの施術箇所へ向けて吹き出される一方、周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出された風Ｗ２は、施術箇所とは異なる場所（例えば、ユーザの頭部の周囲）へ吹き出される。 As described above, in the attachment 2 according to the present embodiment, a part of the air flowing from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 to the inflow port 18 is blown out from the blowout ports 22a and 22b provided around the protrusion 12. The other part of the wind flowing into the inlet 18 can be blown out from the peripheral outlet 23. While the wind W1 blown out from the blowout ports 22a and 22b is blown out toward the treatment site of the user, the wind W2 blown out from the peripheral blowout port 23 is a place different from the treatment site (for example, the head of the user Blow out to the
　このように、本実施形態にかかるアタッチメント２によれば、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９から流入口１８へ流入する風の一部を施術箇所へ向けて吹き出す。そのため、流入口１８へ流入する風の全量を施術箇所へ吹き出す場合と比較して、施術箇所へ吹き出す風の熱量を低くすることができる。そのため、ヘアケア装置１の使用時に、アタッチメント２の接触部２１を頭皮など接触させてマッサージなどする場合に、ユーザが風を熱く感じることを抑えることができる。そのため、使用時の快適性が向上する。 Thus, according to the attachment 2 concerning this embodiment, a part of the wind which flows in into the inflow port 18 from the blowing outlet 59 of the hair dryer 3 blows off toward a treatment part. Therefore, as compared with the case where the entire amount of wind flowing into the inflow port 18 is blown out to the treatment site, the heat quantity of the wind blown out to the treatment site can be lowered. Therefore, when the contact part 21 of the attachment 2 is brought into contact with the scalp or the like to perform massage or the like when using the hair care device 1, it is possible to suppress the user from feeling the wind hot. Therefore, the comfort at the time of use improves.
　また、本実施形態にかかるアタッチメント２では、施術箇所へ向けられる先端部材１５の前面の略中央部に、第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂが設けられている。第１の壁部１５ａおよび第２の壁部１５ｂが設けられていることで、風が直進することが抑制される。これにより、アタッチメント２の第１の風路Ｐ１へ吹き込んだ風が、施術箇所へ直接吹き出されることを抑えることができる。そのため、施術箇所へ吹き出される風の温度をより下げることができ、使用時の快適性がさらに向上する。また、第１の風路Ｐ１は、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへ向かうにしたがって、拡張されている。この構成によって、施術箇所へ吹き出される風の温度をさらに下げることができる。 Further, in the attachment 2 according to the present embodiment, the first wall 15a and the second wall 15b are provided substantially at the center of the front surface of the tip member 15 directed to the treatment site. The provision of the first wall 15a and the second wall 15b prevents the wind from going straight. Thereby, the wind blown into the first air path P1 of the attachment 2 can be suppressed from being blown directly to the treatment site. Therefore, the temperature of the wind blown to the treatment site can be further lowered, and the comfort at the time of use is further improved. In addition, the first air path P1 is expanded as it goes to the outlets 22a and 22b. By this configuration, the temperature of the wind blown to the treatment site can be further lowered.
　また、本実施形態にかかるアタッチメント２では、第２の風路Ｐ２を通過する風Ｗ２を周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出す。周縁吹き出し口２３は、先端部材１５の前面と略平行な吹き出し面を有している。しかし、周縁吹き出し口２３からの風の吹き出し方向は、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂの吹き出し方向からやや外側へずれている。これにより、ヘアドライヤ３からの風の一部を、施術箇所と異なる場所（例えば、施術箇所の近傍）へ向けて吹き出すことができる。施術箇所の近傍には、ユーザの頭部全体が含まれる。したがって、ヘアケア装置１を用いて施術箇所のケア（マッサージなど）を行いつつ、頭部および毛髪全体にもイオンを含む微風を当てることができる。 Further, in the attachment 2 according to the present embodiment, the wind W2 passing through the second air path P2 is blown out from the peripheral air outlet 23. The peripheral blowout port 23 has a blowout surface substantially parallel to the front surface of the tip member 15. However, the blowout direction of the wind from the peripheral outlet 23 is slightly shifted outward from the blowout direction of the outlets 22a and 22b. Thereby, part of the wind from the hair dryer 3 can be blown out toward a place different from the treatment site (for example, near the treatment site). The vicinity of the treatment site includes the entire head of the user. Therefore, while performing care (massage etc.) of the treatment site using the hair care device 1, it is possible to apply a breeze containing ions to the head and the entire hair.
　（ヘアドライヤに対するアタッチメントの取付け位置について）
　続いて、ヘアドライヤ３にアタッチメント２を取り付けた状態での、ヘアドライヤ３の内部構造とアタッチメント２の各構成要素との位置関係について、図１３を参照しながら説明する。図１３には、ヘアドライヤ３にアタッチメント２を取り付けた状態でのアタッチメント２の断面構成と、ヘアドライヤ３内部の概略構成を示す。 (About the attachment position to the hair dryer)
Subsequently, the positional relationship between the internal structure of the hair dryer 3 and each component of the attachment 2 in a state where the attachment 2 is attached to the hair dryer 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 shows a cross-sectional configuration of the attachment 2 in a state where the attachment 2 is attached to the hair dryer 3 and a schematic configuration of the inside of the hair dryer 3.
　図１３は、図６に示すアタッチメント２を、Ｘ方向の中央部でＹ方向に切断したときの断面図である。図１３では、説明の便宜上、図中の右へ向かう方向をＹ１方向と称し、図中左側へ向かう方向をＹ２方向と称する。 FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view of the attachment 2 shown in FIG. 6 cut in the Y direction at the center in the X direction. In FIG. 13, for convenience of description, the direction toward the right in the figure is referred to as the Y1 direction, and the direction toward the left in the figure is referred to as the Y2 direction.
　上述したように、アタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部は、第１の風路Ｐ１と第２の風路Ｐ２とに区画されている。図１３では、Ｙ１側に第１の風路Ｐ１が位置し、Ｙ２側に第２の風路Ｐ２が位置する。また、第２の風路Ｐ２の周縁吹き出し口２３は、Ｙ１側の端部に位置する。 As described above, the inside of the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2 is divided into the first air passage P1 and the second air passage P2. In FIG. 13, the first air path P1 is located on the Y1 side, and the second air path P2 is located on the Y2 side. Further, the peripheral air outlet 23 of the second air path P2 is located at the end on the Y1 side.
　また、ヘアドライヤ３の内部には、上述したように、温風発生部５１、イオン供給部５２などが備えられている。図１３に示すように、温風発生部５１は、ヘアドライヤ３内部のＹ２側に寄って配置されている。また、イオン供給部５２は、ヘアドライヤ３内部のＹ１側の側壁に取り付けられている。 Further, as described above, the warm air generating unit 51, the ion supplying unit 52, and the like are provided inside the hair dryer 3. As shown in FIG. 13, the warm air generating unit 51 is disposed close to the Y2 side inside the hair dryer 3. Further, the ion supply unit 52 is attached to the side wall on the Y1 side inside the hair dryer 3.
　温風発生部５１からは、吹き出し口５９の吹き出し面へ向けて略垂直に温風が吹き出される。なお、温風発生部５１から吹き出される温風の温度は、その配置位置に沿って、図１３に実線で示すような分布を示す。つまり、温風発生部５１の配置位置の略中央部に、温風の温度ピークがある。 Hot air is blown out from the warm air generation unit 51 substantially perpendicularly toward the blowout surface of the blowout port 59. The temperature of the warm air blown out from the warm air generation unit 51 exhibits a distribution as shown by a solid line in FIG. 13 along the arrangement position. That is, there is a temperature peak of the warm air at substantially the center of the arrangement position of the warm air generation unit 51.
　また、イオン供給部５２は、イオン供給口５５から吹き出し口５９へ向けてイオンを放出する。なお、イオン供給口５５から放出されるイオンの濃度は、イオン供給口５５の配置位置に沿って、図１３に破線で示すような分布を示す。つまり、イオン供給口５５に対応する位置に、イオン濃度のピークがある。 The ion supply unit 52 also emits ions from the ion supply port 55 toward the blowout port 59. The concentration of ions emitted from the ion supply port 55 has a distribution as shown by a broken line in FIG. 13 along the arrangement position of the ion supply port 55. That is, at the position corresponding to the ion supply port 55, there is a peak of ion concentration.
　本実施形態のヘアケア装置１では、図１３に示すように、ヘアドライヤ３のイオン供給部５２（より具体的には、イオン供給口５５）と、アタッチメント２の第１の風路Ｐ１とが、対応するように配置されている。すなわち、イオン供給部５２と第１の風路Ｐ１とが、Ｙ１側に寄って配置されている。 In the hair care device 1 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the ion supply unit 52 (more specifically, the ion supply port 55) of the hair dryer 3 and the first air path P1 of the attachment 2 correspond to each other. It is arranged to be. That is, the ion supply unit 52 and the first air passage P1 are disposed close to the Y1 side.
　上記の構成によれば、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出された風のうち、よりイオンを高濃度で含む風を、第１の風路Ｐ１側へ導くことができる。これにより、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂから施術箇所へ向けて吹き出される風により多くのイオンを含ませることができる。 According to the above configuration, it is possible to guide the wind containing ions at a higher concentration among the winds blown out of the hair dryer 3 to the first air path P1 side. Thereby, more ions can be contained in the wind blown out from the blowout ports 22a and 22b toward the treatment site.
　また、本実施形態のヘアケア装置１では、ヘアドライヤ３の温風発生部５１と、アタッチメント２の第２の風路Ｐ２とが、対応するように配置されている。すなわち、温風発生部５１と第２の風路Ｐ２とが、Ｙ２側に寄って配置されている。 Further, in the hair care device 1 of the present embodiment, the warm air generating unit 51 of the hair dryer 3 and the second air path P2 of the attachment 2 are arranged to correspond to each other. That is, the warm air generating unit 51 and the second air path P2 are disposed close to the Y2 side.
　上記の構成によれば、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出された風のうち、より温度の高い風を、第２の風路Ｐ２側へ導くことができる。第２の風路Ｐ２を通る風は、本体部１１内で様々に方向を変え、最終的に周縁吹き出し口２３から施術箇所とは異なる場所へ吹き出される。このように、比較的温度の高い風は、施術箇所以外の場所へ吹き出される。また、第２の風路Ｐ２は、本体部１１内を迂回するように形成されている。そのため、第２の風路Ｐ２内を通過する風の温度は、周縁吹き出し口２３に到達するまでにある程度低下する傾向にある。 According to the above configuration, it is possible to guide the wind having a higher temperature among the winds blown out from the hair dryer 3 to the second air path P2 side. The wind passing through the second air path P2 changes its direction variously in the main body 11, and is finally blown out from the peripheral air outlet 23 to a place different from the treatment site. Thus, a relatively high temperature wind is blown out to a place other than the treatment site. Further, the second air passage P2 is formed to detour around the inside of the main body portion 11. Therefore, the temperature of the wind passing through the second air passage P2 tends to decrease to some extent before reaching the peripheral air outlet 23.
　また、本実施形態のヘアケア装置１において、アタッチメント２の本体部１１内には、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９からの正面視で、温風発生部５１の配置位置と少なくとも部分的に重なる位置に、湾曲板部３４が配置されている。湾曲板部３４が設けられていることで、温風発生部５１からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部に直接的に吹き込まれる温度の高い風は、湾曲板部３４によって遮断されて、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂからは吹き出されない。つまり、湾曲板部３４は、温風発生部５１からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部に直接吹き込まれる温度の高い風を受け止める風受けの役割を果たす。 Further, in the hair care device 1 of the present embodiment, in the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2, at a position at least partially overlapping with the arrangement position of the hot air generating portion 51 in front view from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3. The curved plate portion 34 is disposed. Due to the provision of the curved plate portion 34, the high temperature wind blown directly from the warm air generating portion 51 into the inside of the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2 is blocked by the curved plate portion 34, and the outlet 22a is formed. And 22b are not blown out. That is, the curved plate portion 34 plays a role of a wind receiving that receives a high temperature wind blown directly from the warm air generating portion 51 into the inside of the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2.
　上記の構成によれば、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出される風のうち、比較的温度の低い風を優先的に第１の風路Ｐ１から吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへ吹き出すことができる。これにより、ヘアケア装置１の使用時の快適性が向上する。 According to the above configuration, among the winds blown out from the hair dryer 3, winds having a relatively low temperature can be preferentially blown out from the first air path P1 to the blowout ports 22a and 22b. Thereby, the comfort at the time of use of the hair care apparatus 1 improves.
　また、本実施形態のヘアケア装置１では、イオン供給部５２は、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９からの正面視で、アタッチメント２の湾曲板部３４の配置位置とは異なる位置（すなわち、湾曲板部３４の配置位置とは重ならない位置）に配置されていることが好ましい。これにより、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出される風のうち、イオンを比較的高濃度で含む風を優先的に第１の風路Ｐ１から吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへ吹き出すことができる。これにより、施術箇所により多くのイオンを供給することができる。 Further, in the hair care device 1 of the present embodiment, the ion supply unit 52 is a position different from the arrangement position of the curved plate portion 34 of the attachment 2 in a front view from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 3 (namely, the curved plate portion 34 It is preferable to arrange in the position which does not overlap with the arrangement position of. As a result, among the winds blown out of the hair dryer 3, it is possible to preferentially blow the wind containing ions with relatively high concentration from the first air passage P1 to the blowout ports 22a and 22b. Thereby, more ions can be supplied to the treatment site.
　（第１の実施形態のまとめ）
　以上のように、本実施形態にかかるアタッチメント２は、ヘアドライヤ３に取り付けて用いられる。アタッチメント２は、本体部１１と、本体部１１から突出する突起部１２とを有している。本体部１１は、複数の吹き出し口（吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂ、並びに周縁吹き出し口２３）を有する。また、本体部１１の内部には、流入口１８から各吹き出し口へと通じる風路（第１の風路Ｐ１および第２の風路Ｐ２）が形成されている。突起部１２は、施術箇所に接触する複数の接触部２１を有している。 (Summary of the first embodiment)
As described above, the attachment 2 according to the present embodiment is attached to the hair dryer 3 and used. The attachment 2 has a main body 11 and a projection 12 projecting from the main body 11. The main body portion 11 has a plurality of outlets ( outlets 22a and 22b, and a peripheral outlet 23). Further, air passages (first air passage P1 and second air passage P2) communicating from the inflow port 18 to the outlets are formed inside the main body portion 11. The protrusion 12 has a plurality of contact portions 21 that contact the treatment site.
　本体部１１内の第１の風路Ｐ１は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへと導く。吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂは、突起部１２の周囲に設けられている。したがって、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂからは、施術箇所へ直接向かう風が吹き出される。 The first air path P1 in the main body 11 guides the wind from the hair dryer 3 to the outlets 22a and 22b. The outlets 22 a and 22 b are provided around the protrusion 12. Therefore, the wind directed toward the treatment site is blown out from the outlets 22a and 22b.
　本体部１１内の第２の風路Ｐ２は、ヘアドライヤ３からの風を周縁吹き出し口２３へと導く。周縁吹き出し口２３は、本体部１１の外周に配置されている。そのため、周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出された風は、突起部１２からは離れた方向へ向かう。すなわち、周縁吹き出し口２３からは、施術箇所以外の場所へ向かう風が吹き出される。 The second air passage P2 in the main body 11 guides the wind from the hair dryer 3 to the peripheral air outlet 23. The peripheral air outlet 23 is disposed on the outer periphery of the main body 11. Therefore, the wind blown out from the peripheral air outlet 23 goes in the direction away from the protrusion 12. That is, from the peripheral air outlet 23, a wind is blown out to a place other than the treatment site.
　以上のように、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出された風は、本体部１１を通過することによって、その少なくとも一部が施術箇所とは異なる箇所へ向けて吹き出される。具体的には、周縁吹き出し口２３から吹き出される風は、施術箇所の周囲、または施術箇所の近傍に流れるように構成されている。 As described above, when the wind blown from the hair dryer 3 passes through the main body 11, at least a part of the wind is blown toward a location different from the treatment site. Specifically, the wind blown out from the peripheral outlet 23 is configured to flow around the treatment site or in the vicinity of the treatment site.
　すなわち、本実施形態にかかるアタッチメント２によれば、ヘアドライヤ３の吹き出し口５９から流入口１８へ流入する風の一部が施術箇所へ向けて吹き出される。そのため、流入口１８へ流入する風の全量を施術箇所へ吹き出す場合と比較して、施術箇所へ吹き出す風の熱量を低くすることができる。したがって、アタッチメント２の接触部２１を頭皮など接触させてマッサージなどする場合に、ユーザが風を熱く感じることを抑えることができる。そのため、使用時の快適性が向上する。 That is, according to the attachment 2 concerning this embodiment, a part of the wind which flows in into the inflow port 18 from the blowing outlet 59 of the hair dryer 3 blows off toward the treatment site. Therefore, as compared with the case where the entire amount of wind flowing into the inflow port 18 is blown out to the treatment site, the heat quantity of the wind blown out to the treatment site can be lowered. Therefore, when making the contact part 21 of the attachment 2 contact a scalp etc. and massaging etc., it can suppress that a user feels a wind hot. Therefore, the comfort at the time of use improves.
　＜第２の実施形態＞
　続いて、本発明の第２の実施形態について説明する。第１の実施形態では、イオン供給部５２を備えているヘアドライヤ３にアタッチメント２が取り付けられたヘアケア装置１を例に挙げて説明した。しかし、本発明の一態様にかかるアタッチメントは、イオン供給部を備えていないヘアドライヤに取り付けられてもよい。そこで、以下では、イオン供給部を備えていないヘアドライヤ１０３にアタッチメント２が取り付けられたヘアケア装置１０１を例に挙げて説明する。 Second Embodiment
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment, the hair care device 1 in which the attachment 2 is attached to the hair dryer 3 including the ion supply unit 52 has been described as an example. However, the attachment according to one aspect of the present invention may be attached to a hair dryer that does not have an ion supply. So, below, the hair care apparatus 101 by which the attachment 2 was attached to the hair dryer 103 which is not provided with the ion supply part is mentioned as an example, and is demonstrated.
　図１４には、第２の実施形態にかかるヘアケア装置１０１の内部構成を示す。図１４に示すように、ヘアケア装置１０１は、主として、アタッチメント（取付具）２と、ヘアドライヤ１０３とで構成されている。第１の実施形態と同様に、アタッチメント２は、ヘアドライヤ１０３の風の吹き出し口（送出口）５９に取り付けて使用される。 FIG. 14 shows an internal configuration of the hair care device 101 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 14, the hair care device 101 mainly includes an attachment (attachment) 2 and a hair dryer 103. As in the first embodiment, the attachment 2 is attached to a wind outlet (outlet) 59 of the hair dryer 103 and used.
　アタッチメント２の構成については、第１の実施形態と同様の構成が適用できる。そのため、アタッチメント２の詳細な説明は省略する。図１４には、ヘアドライヤ１０３にアタッチメント２と取り付けた状態でのアタッチメント２の断面構成と、ヘアドライヤ１０３内部の概略構成を示す。 The same configuration as that of the first embodiment can be applied to the configuration of the attachment 2. Therefore, the detailed description of the attachment 2 is omitted. FIG. 14 shows a cross-sectional configuration of the attachment 2 in a state where the attachment 2 is attached to the hair dryer 103, and a schematic configuration of the inside of the hair dryer 103.
　ヘアドライヤ１０３の内部には、温風発生部５１などが備えられている。第１の実施形態と同様に、温風発生部５１は、ファン５４、ヒータ５３、および、モータ（図示せず）などを有している。なお、本実施形態にかかるヘアドライヤ１０３には、イオン供給部は備えられていない。イオン供給部が備えられていないこと以外は、ヘアドライヤ１０３の構成は、基本的に第１の実施形態のヘアドライヤ３と同じである。 Inside the hair dryer 103, a warm air generating unit 51 and the like are provided. As in the first embodiment, the warm air generating unit 51 includes a fan 54, a heater 53, a motor (not shown), and the like. The hair dryer 103 according to the present embodiment does not have an ion supply unit. The configuration of the hair dryer 103 is basically the same as the hair dryer 3 of the first embodiment except that the ion supply unit is not provided.
　図１４では、説明の便宜上、図中の右へ向かう方向をＹ１方向と称し、図中左側へ向かう方向をＹ２方向と称する。 In FIG. 14, for the convenience of description, the direction toward the right in the figure is referred to as the Y1 direction, and the direction toward the left in the figure is referred to as the Y2 direction.
　第１の実施形態と同様に、アタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部は、第１の風路Ｐ１と第２の風路Ｐ２とに区画されている。図１４では、Ｙ１側に第１の風路Ｐ１が位置し、Ｙ２側に第２の風路Ｐ２が位置する。また、第２の風路Ｐ２の周縁吹き出し口２３は、Ｙ１側の端部に位置する。 As in the first embodiment, the inside of the main body 11 of the attachment 2 is divided into a first air passage P1 and a second air passage P2. In FIG. 14, the first air path P1 is located on the Y1 side, and the second air path P2 is located on the Y2 side. Further, the peripheral air outlet 23 of the second air path P2 is located at the end on the Y1 side.
　また、ヘアドライヤ１０３の内部には、上述したように、温風発生部５１が備えられている。図１４に示すように、温風発生部５１は、ヘアドライヤ１０３内部のＹ２側に寄って配置されている。 Further, as described above, the warm air generation unit 51 is provided inside the hair dryer 103. As shown in FIG. 14, the warm air generating unit 51 is disposed close to the Y2 side in the hair dryer 103.
　温風発生部５１からは、吹き出し口５９の吹き出し面へ向けて略垂直に温風が吹き出される。なお、温風発生部５１から吹き出される温風の温度は、その配置位置に沿って、図１４に実線で示すような分布を示す。つまり、温風発生部５１の配置位置の略中央部に、温風の温度ピークがある。 Hot air is blown out from the warm air generation unit 51 substantially perpendicularly toward the blowout surface of the blowout port 59. The temperature of the warm air blown out from the warm air generation unit 51 has a distribution as shown by a solid line in FIG. 14 along the arrangement position. That is, there is a temperature peak of the warm air at substantially the center of the arrangement position of the warm air generation unit 51.
　本実施形態のヘアケア装置１０１では、図１４に示すように、ヘアドライヤ１０３の温風発生部５１と、アタッチメント２の第２の風路Ｐ２とが、対応するように配置されている。すなわち、温風発生部５１と第２の風路Ｐ２とが、Ｙ２側に寄って配置されている。 In the hair care device 101 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the warm air generating unit 51 of the hair dryer 103 and the second air path P2 of the attachment 2 are arranged to correspond to each other. That is, the warm air generating unit 51 and the second air path P2 are disposed close to the Y2 side.
　上記の構成によれば、ヘアドライヤ１０３から吹き出された風のうち、より温度の高い風を、第２の風路Ｐ２側へ導くことができる。第２の風路Ｐ２を通る風は、本体部１１内で様々に方向を変え、最終的に周縁吹き出し口２３から施術箇所とは異なる場所へ吹き出される。このように、比較的温度の高い風は、施術箇所以外の場所へ吹き出される。また、第２の風路Ｐ２は、本体部１１内を迂回するように形成されている。そのため、第２の風路Ｐ２内を通過する風の温度は、周縁吹き出し口２３に到達するまでにある程度低下する傾向にある。 According to the above configuration, it is possible to guide the wind having a higher temperature among the winds blown out from the hair dryer 103 to the second air path P2 side. The wind passing through the second air path P2 changes its direction variously in the main body 11, and is finally blown out from the peripheral air outlet 23 to a place different from the treatment site. Thus, a relatively high temperature wind is blown out to a place other than the treatment site. Further, the second air passage P2 is formed to detour around the inside of the main body portion 11. Therefore, the temperature of the wind passing through the second air passage P2 tends to decrease to some extent before reaching the peripheral air outlet 23.
　また、本実施形態のヘアケア装置１０１において、アタッチメント２の本体部１１内には、ヘアドライヤ１０３の吹き出し口５９からの正面視で、温風発生部５１の配置位置と少なくとも部分的に重なる位置に、湾曲板部３４が配置されている。湾曲板部３４が設けられていることで、温風発生部５１からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部に直接吹き込まれる温度の高い風は、湾曲板部３４によって遮断されて、吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂからは吹き出されない。つまり、湾曲板部３４は、温風発生部５１からアタッチメント２の本体部１１の内部に直接吹き込まれる温度の高い風を受け止める風受けの役割を果たす。 Further, in the hair care device 101 of the present embodiment, in the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2, at a position at least partially overlapping with the arrangement position of the hot air generating portion 51 in front view from the blowout port 59 of the hair dryer 103. The curved plate portion 34 is disposed. Due to the provision of the curved plate portion 34, the high temperature wind blown directly from the warm air generating portion 51 into the inside of the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2 is blocked by the curved plate portion 34, and the air outlets 22a and 22b. It does not blow out from. That is, the curved plate portion 34 plays a role of a wind receiving that receives a high temperature wind blown directly from the warm air generating portion 51 into the inside of the main body portion 11 of the attachment 2.
　上記の構成によれば、ヘアドライヤ３から吹き出される風のうち、比較的温度の低い風（少なくとも第２の風路Ｐ２側へ送出される風よりも温度が低い風）を優先的に第１の風路Ｐ１から吹き出し口２２ａおよび２２ｂへ吹き出すことができる。これにより、ヘアケア装置１の使用時の快適性が向上する。 According to the above configuration, among the winds blown out from the hair dryer 3, the wind having a relatively low temperature (a wind having a temperature lower than the wind sent to at least the second air path P2) is given priority. Can be blown out to the outlets 22a and 22b from the air path P1. Thereby, the comfort at the time of use of the hair care apparatus 1 improves.
　＜第３の実施形態＞
　続いて、本発明の第３の実施形態について説明する。上述した第１および第２の実施形態では、温風発生部５１全体がヘアドライヤ３またはヘアドライヤ１０３内部のＹ２側に寄って配置されていた。これに対して、第３の実施形態にかかるヘアケア装置２０１では、ヘアドライヤ２０３の温風発生部２５１の構成が異なっている。 Third Embodiment
Subsequently, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first and second embodiments described above, the whole warm air generating unit 51 is disposed close to the Y 2 side inside the hair dryer 3 or the hair dryer 103. On the other hand, in the hair care device 201 according to the third embodiment, the configuration of the hot air generation unit 251 of the hair dryer 203 is different.
　図１５には、第３の実施形態にかかるヘアケア装置２０１の内部構成を示す。図１５に示すように、ヘアケア装置２０１を構成するヘアドライヤ２０３は、温風発生部２５１を備えている。温風発生部２５１は、ヒータ２５３、ファン２５４、および、モータ（図示せず）などを有している。図１５に示すように、ファン２５４は、ヘアドライヤ２０３の中心に位置し、ヒータ２５３がＹ２側に寄って配置されている。これにより、温風の温度ピークをＹ２側に位置させることができる。 FIG. 15 shows an internal configuration of the hair care device 201 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, the hair drier 203 which comprises the hair care apparatus 201 is provided with the warm air generation part 251. As shown in FIG. The warm air generation unit 251 includes a heater 253, a fan 254, a motor (not shown), and the like. As shown in FIG. 15, the fan 254 is located at the center of the hair dryer 203, and the heater 253 is disposed close to the Y2 side. Thereby, the temperature peak of the warm air can be positioned on the Y2 side.
　これ以外の構成については、第１の実施形態と同様の構成が適用できる。また、本実施形態にかかる温風発生部２５１の構成を、第２の実施形態のヘアドライヤ１０３に適用してもよい。 The same configuration as that of the first embodiment can be applied to the configuration other than this. Further, the configuration of the warm air generating unit 251 according to the present embodiment may be applied to the hair dryer 103 of the second embodiment.
　また、本実施形態の変形例として、ファン２５４がヘアドライヤ２０３の中心に位置し、ヒータ２５３のコイルの巻き方を、Ｙ２側を密に、Ｙ１側を粗にして、温風の温度ピークをＹ２側に位置させることもできる。 Further, as a modification of the present embodiment, the fan 254 is located at the center of the hair dryer 203, and the coil of the heater 253 is wound with the Y2 side dense and the Y1 side rough, so that the hot air temperature peak is Y2 It can also be located on the side.
　また、温風発生部におけるヒータおよびファンの配置は、上述した構成に限定はされない。上述した構成では、ヒータの下流側にファンが位置しているが、別の構成として、例えば、ファンの下流側にヒータが配置されていてもよい。 Further, the arrangement of the heater and the fan in the warm air generation unit is not limited to the above-described configuration. In the configuration described above, the fan is located downstream of the heater, but as another configuration, for example, the heater may be disposed downstream of the fan.
　＜第４の実施形態＞
　続いて、本発明の第４の実施形態について説明する。上述した第１および第２の実施形態では、縦長（略円柱状）のヘアドライヤにアタッチメント２を取り付けたヘアケア装置を例に挙げて説明した。しかし、これとは異なる形状のヘアドライヤに、本発明の一態様にかかる取付具（アタッチメント）を取り付けて使用することもできる。 Fourth Embodiment
Subsequently, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first and second embodiments described above, the hair care device in which the attachment 2 is attached to a vertically long (substantially cylindrical) hair dryer has been described as an example. However, the attachment (attachment) according to one aspect of the present invention can be attached to and used in a hair dryer having a different shape.
　例えば、側面視で略Ｌ字形状または略Ｔ字形状のヘアドライヤの吹き出し口に、本発明の一態様にかかる取付具（アタッチメント）を取り付けて使用することもできる。より具体的には、本発明の一実施形態にかかるアタッチメントを、特許文献１（実用新案登録第３１８４９５５号公報）に示すような形状のヘアドライヤに取り付けて使用することもできる。 For example, the attachment (attachment) according to one aspect of the present invention may be attached to the outlet of the hair dryer having a substantially L shape or a substantially T shape in a side view. More specifically, the attachment according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used by attaching it to a hair dryer having a shape as shown in Patent Document 1 (Utility Model Registration No. 3184955).
　したがって、側面視で略Ｌ字形状または略Ｔ字形状のヘアドライヤの吹き出し口に、上述したアタッチメント２を取り付けたヘアケア装置も本発明の一態様に含まれる。 Therefore, the hair care apparatus which attached the attachment 2 mentioned above to the blowing outlet of the substantially L shape or the substantially T shape by side view is also contained in 1 aspect of this invention.
