Abstract

A voltage supply unit in a hair care device includes a voltage supply member which has an exposed surface exposed to the outside and is attached to a housing, and a first conductive section that is electrically connected to the voltage supply member. Furthermore, the voltage supply member has a visible light transmission section having visible light transparency, the visible light transmission section having a second conductive section electrically connected to the first conductive section. In addition, the second conductive section has a contact surface contacted by supply object U, and at least a portion of the exposed surface serves as the contact surface. Furthermore, a shield section that overlaps an entirety of the exposed surface and does not transmit visible light is provided inward of the exposed surface.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hair care device comprising:
 a housing that constitutes a contour; and   a voltage supply unit that supplies a voltage to a supply object,   wherein the voltage supply unit includes:
 a voltage supply member which has an exposed surface exposed to the outside and is attached to the housing; and 
 a first conductive section electrically connected to the voltage supply member, 
   the voltage supply member has a visible light transmission section having visible light transparency,   the visible light transmission section has a second conductive section electrically connected to the first conductive section,   the second conductive section has a contact surface contacted by the supply object,   the contact surface is at least a portion of the exposed surface, and   a shield section that overlaps an entirety of the exposed surface and does not transmit visible light is provided inward of the exposed surface.   
     
     
         2 . The hair care device according to  claim 1 , wherein the shield section is located between the first conductive section and the visible light transmission section. 
     
     
         3 . The hair care device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the shield section has an insulating section, and   the second conductive section and the first conductive section are electrically connected to each other without having the insulating section interposed therebetween.   
     
     
         4 . The hair care device according to  claim 3 , wherein the shield section is an inner wall projecting from the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The hair care device according to  claim 4 , wherein a conductive path leading to the contact surface from the first conductive section has a bypass path that bypasses the inner wall. 
     
     
         6 . The hair care device according to  claim 1 , wherein the shield section has a third conductive section. 
     
     
         7 . The hair care device according to  claim 6 , wherein the second conductive section and the first conductive section are electrically connected to each other through the third conductive section. 
     
     
         8 . The hair care device according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the housing has a grip section and a grip-side housing constituting a contour of the grip section, and   the voltage supply member is provided on the grip-side housing.   
     
     
         9 . The hair care device according to  claim 8 , wherein the voltage supply member is pressed against the first conductive section when the grip section is held. 
     
     
         10 . The hair care device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a charged particle supply unit that supplies charged particles to the supply object. 
     
     
         11 . The hair care device according to  claim 10 , wherein the charged particle supply unit discharges charged fine water droplets including the charged particles. 
     
     
         12 . The hair care device according to  claim 1 , wherein the hair care device is a dryer, a hair iron, or a hair brush.
