Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a roll brush and, more particularly, to a roll brush
having a structure by which the fixed state of a connecting portion between a brush
body and a handle can be firmly maintained.
Background Art
[0002] A hair brush is a cosmetic tool used in hairdressing to comb or roll hair. Types
of hair brushes may be divided according to the type of hair and the purpose of use.
For example, different types of brushes may be used to comb untreated hair and permanently
waved hair.
[0003] In addition, brushes are divided into, for example, a type of brush used to comb
hair and a type of brush used when drying hair. In this manner, various types of brushes
are selectively used depending on the state of hair of the user, the type of use of
brushes, and the like.
[0004] According to the types of use, a hair brush typically used to comb untreated hair
mostly includes a plate-shaped member and bristles provided on the plate-shaped member.
When waving or drying hair, a hair brush including a cylindrical body and a plurality
of bristles protruding from the outer surface of the cylindrical body is used.
[0005] Such hair brushes may be used to comb long or permanently waved hair of women at
home or hair salons. As typical structure, such a hair brush includes a handle configured
to be held with a handle by a user such that combing is easily performed, a cylindrical
body to which the handle is fixed, with a number of through-holes being formed in
the cylindrical body, and a bristle support member provided in the body and having
the shape of twisted wires, with a plurality of bristles extending from the bristle
support member to the through-holes.
[0006] In addition, the hair brush is finished by a top cap covering the top end of the
body. FIG. 1 is a view illustrating such a hair brush of the related art.
[0007] As illustrated in the drawing, the body is fitted around the top end portion of the
handle and is fixed to the handle by penetrating a bolt or the like through a top
cylindrical member of the handle and the body or by press-fitting the body around
the handle. The body is fixedly covered with the top cap provided on an outer portion
of a top cylindrical member of the body. Both ends of the bristle support member having
the shape of twisted wires are fixedly fitted into seating recesses provided in the
inner portion of the top cylindrical member of the handle and the inner portion of
the top surface of the top cap.
[0008] In such a brush of the related art, the top cylindrical member of the handle surrounds
the bottom portion of the body. When the brush is used, hair may be caught in the
boundary between the top cylindrical member of the handle and the body to be rooted
up from the scalp. This may cause the user to feel unpleasant during the use of the
brush.
[0009] In addition, after the cylindrical body is press-fitted over the top cylindrical
member of the handle, the top cylindrical member of the handle and the bottom end
portion of the body must be fixed using separate fastening means, such as a bolt,
a rivet, or pin. Such a fixing process may cause complexity in fabrication as a factor
lowering productivity.
[0010] For example, when the above-described fastening means, such as a bolt, a rivet, or
pin, are not used, the body may be dislodged from the top cylindrical member of the
handle. The above-described fastening means may be provided as an essential component
to obtain the reliability of a product. However, the fastening means may cause the
problem of significantly lowering the productivity, as described above.
[0011] In addition, in the bristle support member having the shape of twisted wires located
in the central portion of the cylindrical body and supporting the bristles to extend
through the through-holes, the top and bottom end portions of the bristle support
member are seated in and fixed by the seating recesses in the inner portions of the
top cap and the top cylindrical member of the handle, respectively. When the user
users the brush, a phenomenon, in which the bristle support member moves laterally,
inevitably occurs. This may cause the user to feel the use of the brush unreliable
and unstable and make it difficult for the user to minutely brush the hair into an
intended style.
Disclosure
Technical Problem
[0012] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems
occurring in the prior art, and the present invention has the following objectives.
[0013] First, a structure fixing a body of a brush to a top cylindrical member of a handle
is modified such that the bottom end portion of the body is fixed while covering outer
portions of the top cylindrical member of the handle. It is possible to prevent hair
from being caught in the boundary between the top cylindrical member of the handle
and the body during the use of the brush, so that the user may not feel unpleasant
and may feel the brush soft when using the brush.
[0014] Second, due to a configuration in which the cylindrical body is fixed to the top
cylindrical member of the handle while covering the outer portions of the top cylindrical
member, a fixed position can be reliably maintained without the use of the related-art
fastening means, such as a bolt, a rivet, or pin. Accordingly, the fixing process
using the fastening means may be unnecessary, thereby improving the productivity and
reliability of a product.
[0015] Third, adhesive is disposed in a seating recess in the inner portion of the top surface
of a top cap and a seating recess in the inner portion of the top cylindrical member
of the handle to fix the top and bottom ends of a bristle support member having the
shape of twisted wires, so that the top and bottom ends of a bristle support member
are fixed by bonding. It is possible to completely prevent a phenomenon in which the
bristle support member moves laterally during the use of the brush, thereby causing
the user to feel the brush is reliable, allowing the user to minutely brush the hair
into a variety of intended styles, and improving the satisfaction of the user in using
the brush.
Technical Solution
[0016] In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention may provide the following
embodiments.
[0017] Provided is a roll brush having a roll brush structure comprising: a bristle support
member (200) holding radially-extending bristles (210), a cylindrical body (300) having
a plurality of through-holes (310), through which the bristles (210) are exposed externally,
and allowing the bristle support member (200) to be inserted thereinto in a penetrating
manner, and a top cap (400) covering a top end of the body (300), with fitting recesses
(111, 410) being provided in a portion of a cylindrical member (110) corresponding
to a top portion of a handle and in a central portion of a bottom surface of the top
cap (400), respectively, such that top and bottom ends of the bristle support member
(200) are fitted into the fitting recesses (111, 410).
[0018] Slits (321) extend in a longitudinal direction from a distal end of a bottom extension
of the body (300) so as to be equally distanced from each other, and a folded portion
(320) is provided by folding a portion of the body (300), in which the slits (321)
are provided, inward of a bottom end of the body (300).
[0019] Coupling protrusions (112) are provided on outer portions of the cylindrical member
(110) provided on the top end of the handle (100) so as to be fitted into the slits
(321) of the folded portion (320).
[0020] Adhesive is disposed in the fitting recesses (410, 111) provided in an inner central
portion of the top end of the top cap (400) and in an inner central portion of the
cylindrical member (110) of the handle (100), such that the top and bottom ends of
the bristle support member (200) fitted into the fitting recesses (410, 111) are fixed
by the cured adhesive.
Advantageous Effects
[0021] According to the present invention, the bottom end portion of the body, from which
the bristles protrude, are fixed to the top cylindrical member of the handle while
surrounding the top cylindrical member. It is possible to prevent hair from being
caught during the use of the brush and cause the user to feel the brush soft when
using the brush.
[0022] In addition, according to the present invention, a separate fastening means, such
as a bolt, a rivet, or pin, is not necessary in the process of fixing and fastening
the top cylindrical member of the handle and the body. This may simplify the fixing
process, thereby significantly improving productivity.
[0023] In addition, according to the present invention, the adhesive is disposed in the
seating recess in the inner portion of the top surface of the top cap and the seating
recess in the inner portion of the top cylindrical member of the handle to fix the
top and bottom ends of the bristle support member having the shape of twisted wires
and fixing the bristles. It is possible to completely prevent a phenomenon in which
the bristle support member moves laterally during the use of the brush, to cause the
user to feel the brush is reliable, and to allow the user to minutely brush the hair
into a variety of intended styles, thereby improving the satisfaction and reliability
of a product.

[0028] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
-First Embodiment-
[0029] The present invention provides a hair roll brush as illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
[0030] In the present invention, reference numeral 100 indicates a handle.
[0031] The handle 100 is a portion held by a user. A cylindrical member 110 is provided
contiguous with the top end portion of the handle 100.
[0032] The cylindrical member 110 has a fitting recess 111 provided in an inner central
portion thereof, such that the bottom end portion of a bristle support member 200
is fitted into the fitting recess 111. Adhesive is disposed in the fitting recess
111, such that, when the adhesive is cured, the bristle support member 200 can be
firmly and fixedly held.
[0033] In addition, a plurality of coupling protrusions 112 protrudes from the outer circumferential
surface of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100, at positions equally spaced
apart from each other.
[0034] Each of the coupling protrusions 112 has a base protrusion 112a, the entirety of
which protrudes from an outer circumferential portion of the cylindrical member 110,
and a central protrusion 111b further protruding from the central portion of the base
protrusion 112a, such that the cross-section thereof is generally "T"-shaped when
viewed in a plan view.
[0035] Each of the coupling protrusions 112 is comprised of the base protrusion 112a and
the central protrusion 111b further protruding from the central portion of the base
protrusion 112a as described above so as to be fitted into an inwardly bent and folded
portion of the bottom end portion of a body 300 of the cylindrical member, which will
be described later. The central protrusion 111b is configured to support inner surface
portions of the folded portion of the body 300, while the base protrusion 112a is
configured to support inner surface portions of the folded portion.
[0036] In addition, the bristle support member 200 is an iron core in the shape of a cylinder,
with bristles 210 radially extending from outer circumferential portions thereof.
[0037] The body 300 may be finished with the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 and
a top cap 400. A number of through-holes 310 is formed in circumferential portions
of the body 300, allowing the bristles 210 of the bristle support member 200 to extend
therethrough. The bottom end portion of the body 300 forms the inwardly bent and folded
portion 320.
[0038] As illustrated in the drawing, the folded portion 320 is formed by bending the middle
portion of a bottom extension 330 of the body 300. A plurality of "T"-shaped slits
321 extends from the terminal end of the extension 330 to positions equally spaced
apart.
[0039] Each of the "T"-shaped slits 321 is comprised of a first slit 321a and a second slit
321b. The first slit 321a is formed by linearly cutting the bottom extension 330 of
the body 300 from the terminal end thereof in a longitudinal direction. The second
slit 321b is formed by cutting the bottom extension 330 from the terminal end of the
first slit 321a in a direction perpendicular to the first slit 321a, i.e. in a lateral
direction of the bottom extension 330.
[0040] As described above, the slits 321 are "T"-shaped, as illustrated in the drawing.
After the first slit 321a is formed by linearly cutting the bottom extension 330 of
the body 300 from the terminal end thereof in a longitudinal direction, the second
slit 321b is formed by cutting the bottom extension 330 from the terminal end of the
first slit 321a in the direction perpendicular to the first slit 321a.
[0041] The second slits 321b are provided in positions corresponding to the central portions
of the extension 330, such that the extension 330 is bent inward of the bottom end
portion of the body 300 with respect to the second slits 321b.
[0042] Due to the folded portion 320 being folded along the second slits 321b, when the
body 300 is viewed from below, the second slits 321b are disposed along the end surface
of the body 300 to have a visually recognizable configuration.
[0043] The second slits 321b are provided as described above to facilitate the folding machining
of the folded portion 320. The first slits 321a may be coupled to the central protrusions
111b of the above-described coupling protrusions 112 protruding from the outer circumferential
portions of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 at equal distances. These
features will be described in more detail as follows.
[0044] As described above, the "T"-shaped slits 321 is recognizable when the body 300 is
viewed from below. When the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 is press-fitted
into the body 300, the base protrusions 112a of the coupling protrusions 112 protruding
from the outer circumferential portions of the cylindrical member 110 push the extension
330, in which the folded portion 320 is provided, into the bottom end portion of the
body 300. During this processing, the central protrusions 111b further protruding
from the front central portions of the base protrusions 112a are guided and fitted
into the first slits 321a.
[0045] According to this configuration, the base protrusions 112a provide pressure to press
the folded portion 320 toward the bottom inner surface of the body 300, as described
above. At the same time, the central protrusions 111b are fitted into the first slits
321a of the slits 321 while pressing and supporting the inner surface of the body
300. Accordingly, the body 300 can be completely prevented from rotating laterally.
[0046] In the roll brush having the above-described structure, the body 300 is completely
coupled to the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100. Both ends of the bristle
support member 200 provided within the body 300 are fitted into the fitting recesses
111 of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 and a fitting recess 410 of the
top cap 400. Here, adhesive disposed in the fitting recesses 111 and 410 can completely
hold the bristle support member 200 from moving.
[0047] In the roll brush as described above, the bottom end portion of the body 300 surrounds
the outer portions of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100. This configuration
can prevent the hair of the user from being caught when the user uses the roll brush,
firmly hold and support the fixed position between the cylindrical member 110 and
the body 300 without a separate fixing means, and prevent the body 300 from moving
laterally. The reliability of use can be provided, and the user can expect the effect
of producing charming waves, so that the satisfaction and reliability of the product
can be improved.
-Second Embodiment-
[0048] A second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7.
[0049] The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in which the folded portion
320 is provided by folding the bottom end portion of the body 300. In addition, the
second embodiment is characterized in that a double folded portion 340 is provided
by folding the bottom end portion of the body 300 at two folding lines, and slits
341 are linearly cut in the double folded portion 340 in a longitudinal direction.
[0050] Due to the double folded portion 340, the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100
has a shape conforming to the bottom end portion of the body 300 as illustrated in
FIG. 7, differently from the case of the first embodiment.
[0051] In addition, linear coupling protrusions 112' protrude from outer circumferential
portions of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100, differently from the "T"-shaped
coupling protrusions 112 according to the first embodiment.
[0052] When the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 are fitted into the bottom end
portion of the body 300, the coupling protrusions 112' protruding from the outer circumferential
portions of the cylindrical member 110 to be equally spaced apart from each other
are guided and fitted into the slits 341 of the double folded portion 340 of the body
300.
[0053] The position of the handle 100 is set by the coupling protrusions 112' fitted into
the slits 341 of the double folded portion 340, so that the handle 100 is prevented
from moving. The front surfaces of the coupling protrusions 112' are shaped to press
and support the inner surface of the body 300, so that the tight contact between the
body 300 and the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 can be maintained.
[0054] In addition, the fitting recess 111 is provided in the inner central portion of the
cylindrical member 110, and the bottom end portion of the bristle support member 200
is fitted into the fitting recess 111. When adhesive disposed in the fitting recess
111 is cured, the bristle support member 200 can be maintained in a firmly fixed position.
This configuration can prevent the bristle support member 200 from moving laterally,
as in the case of the first embodiment.
[0055] In the present second embodiment, as illustrated in the drawings, the cylindrical
member 110 of the handle 100 and the bottom end portion of the body 300 having the
conforming shapes are coupled to each other. The coupling between the slits 341 of
the double folded portion 340 and the coupling protrusions 112' of the cylindrical
member 110 prevents the body 300 from moving laterally while maintaining the bristle
support member 200 in the firmly fixed state.
[0056] In addition, since the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 and the bottom end
portion of the body 300 have the conforming shapes, the hair of the user can be prevented
from being caught when the user uses the roll brush.
-Third Embodiment-
[0057] A third embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9.
[0058] According to the third embodiment, differently from either the first or second embodiment
in which the both end portions of the body 300 are folded inward, a pipe portion 350
having a smaller diameter than the body 300 is provided on the bottom end portion
of the body 300, such that the pipe portion 350 is fitted into the cylindrical member
110 of the handle 100. A plurality of slits 351 is formed by cutting the outer circumferential
surface of the pipe portion 350, such that the slits 351 linearly extend in a top-bottom
direction and are equally spaced apart from each other.
[0059] Due to the pipe portion 350, a stepped surface 352 extending from the bottom end
portion of the body 300 to the pipe portion 350 is formed.
[0060] The stepped surface 352 cannot have a precise rectangular shape but may be formed
to have a similar horizontal surface by a piping process. Due to this feature, the
stepped surface 352 is in contact with and aligned with the top surface of the cylindrical
member 110 of the handle 100.
[0061] As the stepped surface 352 is aligned with the top surface of the cylindrical member
110, the outer side surface of the body 300 and the outer side surface of the cylindrical
member 110 may be coplanar, so that the hair of the user can be prevented from being
caught between the body 300 and the cylindrical member 110 when the roll brush according
to the present invention is used.
[0062] In addition, linear coupling protrusions 112" protrude from outer circumferential
portions of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100, in positions equally spaced
apart from each other, as in the case of the second embodiment.
[0063] The coupling protrusions 112" are formed on the inner circumferential portions of
the cylindrical member 110, instead of being provided on the outer surface of the
cylindrical member 110 in either the first or second embodiment. The coupling protrusions
112" serve to prevent the body 300 from moving laterally, as in the case of either
the first or second embodiment.
[0064] In addition, as described above, the first to third embodiments can completely fix
the above-described bristle support member 200 while preventing or reducing the bristle
support member 200 from moving laterally, so that the user can minutely brush the
hair into an intended style using the roll brush. In addition, as a solution to remove
the unpleasant feeling, a gripping sensation, or the like, caused by the movement
of the bristle support member 200, the adhesive is disposed in the fitting recess
111 in the central portion of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 and in
the seating recess 410 in the central portion of the bottom surface of the top cap
400, such that the bristle support member 200 can be firmly fixed.
[0065] In contrast, another embodiment for maintaining the firmly fixed state of the bristle
support member 200 may be provided as illustrated in FIGS. 10 to 12.
[0066] That is, as illustrated in the drawings, a hook-shaped fixing member 113 is fixed
to the fitting recess 111 provided in the central portion of the cylindrical member
110 of the handle 100, a through-hole 420 is provided in the central portion of the
top cap 400 covering the top end of the body 300, with a female thread being provided
in the through-hole 420, and an adjustor 430 is screw-engaged into the through-hole
420. A hook-shaped top fixing member 440 is provided on the bottom surface of the
adjustor 430 so as to freely pivot.
[0067] An insertion hole 431 is formed to extend through the central portion of the bottom
end of the adjustor 430 and the adjustor 430 is configured hollow, such that the top
fixing member 440 having a catching portion 441 on the top end portion thereof is
inserted into the insertion hole 431 to freely pivot within the adjustor 430. Accordingly,
the top fixing member 440 can freely pivot.
[0068] The above-described configuration in which the adjustor 430 has a hollow structure,
the insertion hole 431 is provided in the central portion of the bottom end portion,
and the top fixing member 440 having the catching portion 441 on the top end portion
thereof is inserted into the insertion hole 431 to freely pivot can be provided by
an insert injection method or the like.
[0069] Thus, the top and bottom ends of the bristle support member 200 are fitted into the
fixing member 113 of the fitting recess 111 in the central portion of the cylindrical
member 110 of the handle 100 and the hook-shaped top fixing member 440, respectively,
and the adjustor 430 is screw-engaged into the through-hole 420 of the top cap 400.
[0070] When the bristle support member 200 is tensed by screw-adjusting the adjustor 430
through the through-hole 420, the bristle support member 200 maintains a firmly-fixed
state without being played laterally by the top fixing members 440 freely pivoting
in the adjustors 430 of the cylindrical member 110 of the handle 100 and the top cap
400.
[0071] Even though the adjustors 430 are screw-adjusted, the top fixing member 440 freely
pivots, and thus, torque is not transferred to the bristle support member 200.
[0072] Accordingly, the bristle support member 200 can be used while maintaining the tightly-tensed
state, thereby completely removing inconvenience, i.e. a feel of difference due to
dislodgement during use. In addition, it is possible to minutely curl hair into any
style as intended.
[0073] Although the present invention has been described with respect to the specific embodiments
and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art
will appreciate that various modifications and alterations are possible without departing
from the foregoing description.
[0074] Accordingly, the technical idea of the present invention shall be construed on the
basis of the accompanying Claims in such a manner that all such modifications or alterations
equivalent thereto belong to the present invention.
Industrial Applicability
[0075] The present invention relates to a roll brush having a structure by which the fixed
state of a connecting portion between a brush body and a handle can be firmly maintained,
and thus, has industrial applicability.
