Hair iron

Abstract

A hair iron includes a first hair holding part including a first hair holding surface and a second hair holding part including a second hair holding surface configured to face the first hair holding surface. The hair iron holds hair with the first hair holding surface and the second hair holding surface facing each other. The hair iron further includes a discharge device that generates ions and an ion ejection port that ejects the ions thus generated. The discharge device is disposed at a portion of the first hair holding part that does not overlap the first hair holding surface. This can provide the hair iron that can be downsized in the thickness direction while increasing hair care effects.

         2 . The hair iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the ion ejection port is disposed in the first hair holding part, the ion ejection port being exposed to a space provided between the first hair holding surface and the second hair holding surface. 
     
     
         3 . The hair iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hair holding surface includes a groove extending along a longitudinal direction of the first hair holding surface. 
     
     
         4 . The hair iron according to  claim 3  further comprising a liquid intake port connected to the discharge device,
 wherein the groove and the liquid intake port are arranged substantially coaxially with each other. 
 
     
     
         5 . The hair iron according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the first hair holding surface is configured to pivot on a first pivot axis, and   the groove serves as the first pivot axis.   
     
     
         6 . The hair iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the first hair holding part includes a float part that causes the first hair holding surface to swing in a direction of a normal to the first hair holding surface. 
     
     
         7 . The hair iron according to  claim 1 , wherein the second hair holding part includes a float part that causes the second hair holding surface to swing in a direction of a normal to the second hair holding surface. 
     
     
         8 . The hair iron according to  claim 4 , wherein the ion ejection port is disposed in the first hair holding part, the ion ejection port being exposed to a space provided between the first hair holding surface and the second hair holding surface. 
     
     
         9 . The hair iron according to  claim 5  further comprising a liquid intake port connected to the discharge device,
 wherein the groove and the liquid intake port are arranged substantially coaxially with each other. 
 
     
     
         10 . The hair iron according to  claim 6 , wherein the first hair holding surface includes a groove extending along a longitudinal direction of the first hair holding surface. 
     
     
         11 . The hair iron according to  claim 10 , wherein
 the first hair holding surface is configured. to pivot on a first pivot axis, and   the groove serves as the first pivot axis.   
     
     
         12 . The hair iron according to  claim 11  further comprising a liquid intake port connected to the discharge device,
 wherein the groove and the liquid intake port are arranged substantially coaxially with each other. 
 
     
     
         13 . The hair iron according to  claim 7 , wherein the first hair holding surface includes a groove extending along a longitudinal direction of the first hair holding surface. 
     
     
         14 . The hair iron according to  claim 13  further comprising a liquid intake port connected to the discharge device,
 wherein the groove and the liquid intake port are arranged substantially coaxially with each other. 
 
     
     
         15 . The hair iron according to  claim 13 , wherein
 the first hair holding surface is configured to pivot on a first pivot axis, and   the groove serves as the first pivot axis.   
     
     
         16 . The hair iron according to  claim 14 , wherein
 the first hair holding surface is configured to pivot on a first pivot axis, and   the groove serves as the first pivot axis.   
     
     
         17 . The hair iron according to  claim 7 , wherein the first hair holding part includes a float part that causes the first hair holding surface to swing in a direction of a normal to the first hair holding surface. 
     
     
         18 . The hair iron according to  claim 15 , wherein the first hair holding part includes a float part that causes the first hair holding surface to swing in a direction of a normal to the first hair holding surface. 
     
     
         19 . The hair iron according to  claim 16 , wherein the first hair holding part includes a float part that causes the first hair holding surface to swing in a direction of a normal to the first hair holding surface.
