Hair treatment apparatus

Abstract

A novel and original hair treatment apparatus which is capable of simply and properly treating a tress of hair while applying an ultrasonic wave and/or negative ions to the tress of hair with no use of any head hair nutrient, and which, in a case where hair treatment is to be made using a permanent wave agent or a straight permanent wave agent and/or an appropriate head hair nutrient, is capable of simply and properly treating the tress of hair while applying an ultrasonic wave and/or negative ions to the tress of hair with the permanent wave agent or the straight permanent wave agent and/or the appropriate head hair nutrient being caused to sufficiently penetrate into the tress of hair.

1 . A hair treatment apparatus, comprising:
 a pair of treatment grip pieces which is openably/closably supported with a pivotal shaft at the respective proximal ends thereof, with the opposed faces thereof on the distal end side being formed to be buttable and openable so as to sandwich a tress of hair between the opposed faces, being provided with a hair pressing portion, which contains an ultrasonic vibrator, and a hair receiving portion on the opposed faces, respectively;   an ultrasonic wave generator unit which applies ultrasonic vibrations to the sandwiched tress of hair through said hair pressing portion, being incorporated in one treatment grip piece, and an ion generator unit which applies negative ions to said tress of hair through the same, being incorporated in the same;   a power supply unit which is connected to a commercial power line for supplying power to each of said ultrasonic wave generator unit and said ion generator unit which are incorporated in said one treatment grip piece;   an operation unit having a group of switches for activating or deactivating said ultrasonic wave generator unit and ion generator unit; and   an operation switch which performs operation start/stop of said ultrasonic wave generator unit and ion generator unit in accordance with close/open of said pair of treatment grip pieces.   
   
   
       2 . A hair treatment apparatus, comprising:
 a pair of treatment grip pieces formed substantially in the shape of a rectangular prism, respectively, that is openably/closably supported with a pivotal shaft at the respective proximal ends thereof, with the opposed faces thereof on the distal end side being formed to be buttable and openable so as to sandwich a tress of hair between the opposed faces, being provided with a rectangular-shaped hair pressing portion, which contains an ultrasonic vibrator, and a rectangular-shaped hair receiving portion on the opposed faces, respectively;   an ultrasonic wave generator unit which applies ultrasonic vibrations to the sandwiched tress of hair through said hair pressing portion, being incorporated in one treatment grip piece, and an ion generator unit which applies negative ions to said tress of hair through the same, being incorporated in the same;   a power supply unit which is connected to a commercial power line for supplying power to each of said ultrasonic wave generator unit and said ion generator unit which are incorporated in said one treatment grip piece;   an operation unit having a group of switches for activating or deactivating said ultrasonic wave generator unit and ion generator unit, and a group of indicator lights for indicating the activated state; and   an operation switch which is incorporated in over both said one treatment grip piece and said other treatment grip piece, and performs operation start/stop of said ultrasonic wave generator unit and ion generator unit in accordance with close/open of said pair of treatment grip pieces.   
   
   
       3 . A hair treatment apparatus, comprising:
 a pair of treatment grip pieces formed substantially in the shape of a rectangular prism, respectively, that is openably/closably supported with a pivotal shaft at the respective proximal ends thereof, with the opposed faces thereof on the distal end side being formed to be buttable and openable so as to sandwich a tress of hair between the opposed faces, being provided with a rectangular-shaped hair pressing portion, which contains an ultrasonic vibrator, and a rectangular-shaped hair receiving portion on the opposed faces, respectively;   an ultrasonic wave generator unit which applies ultrasonic vibrations to the sandwiched tress of hair through said hair pressing portion, being incorporated in one treatment grip piece, and an ion generator unit which applies negative ions to said tress of hair through the same, being incorporated in the same;   a power supply unit which includes an AC plug to be connected to a commercial power supply, an AC/DC adapter, a power cable, and a power supply circuit for supplying power to each of said ultrasonic wave generator unit and said ion generator unit which are incorporated in said one treatment grip piece;   an operation unit having a group of switches consisting of those for activating or deactivating said ultrasonic wave generator unit and ion generator unit which are loaded in one treatment grip piece, and a group of indicator lights including an ultrasonic wave generation light and a negative ion generation light; and   an operation switch which is incorporated in over both said one treatment grip piece and said other treatment grip piece, and performs operation start/stop of said ultrasonic wave generator unit and ion generator unit in accordance with close/open of said pair of treatment grip pieces.
