Abstract:
There is a demand for an automatic shampoo machine used in beauty solons and the like which dispenses with an all-purpose chair to be prepared separately and has a better appearance and an improved feeling of use.In an automatic shampoo machine 1, a seat 2 for seating a person to be shampooed thereon during shampooing and a basin 13 for receiving the person's head for the shampooing are supported by a common housing 3. The housing 3 accommodates and supports spout means 4 for spouting warm water automatically in the basin 13. Since the seat 2 is integrated in the automatic shampoo machine 1, the need for separately preparing a chair is obviated and the automatic shampoo machine 1 has an improved appearance. By using a space below the seat 2 effectively, functional components of the spout means 4 such as a warm water reservoir tank 45 are disposed in the space and the components can more flexibly be laid out. Aback-rest 8 of the seat 2 is arranged to incline so that the person's face is naturally oriented vertically upward, thereby alleviating a burden on the neck of the person. A seating portion 7 of the seat 2 is adjustable in height, thereby making it possible to properly position the person's neck in the basin 13, accommodating the variations in sitting height.
Abstract:
The head and face washing apparatus of the invention is designed to prevent scattering of fluid and enhance the washing efficiency. The head and face washing apparatus comprises pumps (103a to 103d) for supplying washing fluid through supply pipes (101a to 110d), plural spouts (105) for ejecting the washing fluid, and supply passages (106a to 106d) for supplying the washing fluid supplied through the supply pipes (101a to 101d) into the specified spout (105). Washing fluid is continuously pumped out from the pump (103a), while washing fluid is pumped out intermittently from the pumps. (103b to 103d). As a result, a continuous water stream is ejected from the spout group (105a), and an intermittent water stream is ejected from the spout groups (105b to 105d).
Abstract:
A head-cleansing cap having an outer fluid-impervious layer and an inner fluid-holding layer that is equal to or greater than the size of the outer layer. The outer fluid-impervious layer has a peripheral edge defining an opening for receiving a person's head. The inner layer is connected to the outer layer along the peripheral edge of the outer layer and may also be connected to the outer layer at one or more points spaced away from the peripheral edge of the outer layer. The inner layer is saturated with a rinse-free cleaning solution. In use, the head is massaged through the cap to release the cleaning solution onto the head of the user.
Abstract:
A hair washer comprising a cistern into which the head part of a person under hair washing can be inserted, the hair washer including a plurality of washing nozzles for spouting out washing water provided at each side wall surface, rear wall surface, and front part of the bottom wall of the cistern. A drain outlet is provided for draining out washing water spouted out from the washing nozzles, the drain outlet being provided at the rear part of the bottom wall of the cistern. At least one groove extends toward the drain outlet, the groove being provided at gaps between the plurality of washing nozzles located at the front part of the bottom wall of the cistern, wherein washing water spouted out from the washing nozzles is exhausted out from the drain outlet and passes through the groove provided at the bottom wall of the cistern.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an automatic hair washer which can perform hair washing in a most suitable situation for parts washed by washing nozzles which are provided on inner walls of a cistern, purposes and configurations of the washing nozzles. According to the present invention, in all washing steps from a preliminary washing step t1 to a rinsing step t7, output of a hot water supplying pump 6 is changed by a hot water supplying pump control unit 20 in timings of opening/closing operations of hot water supplying electromagnetic valves 10a to 10j for shower heads S1 to S12, to vary pressures and amounts of wash water spouted from the shower heads S1 to S12.
Abstract:
A hair washing aid 1 comprises a disposable flexible hood 2 having an opening 4 for fitting around the head 5 of an invalid and an inlet 6 at the top of the hood 2 for water and shampoo. The inlet 6 is sized to accommodate an attendant's hands for washing the hair, in use. A double sided hypo-allergenic tape 10 is used to attach the hood 2 in position and to form a fluid barrier to prevent fluid escaping from the hood 2, in use. An overlapping flap portion 20 of the hood 2 allows the hood to accommodate a range of head sizes. An integrally formed extension 30 of the hood defines a pocket for collection of water and shampoo run-off.
Abstract:
Automatic hair and scalp treatment machines are known which include a bowl, and a closure therefor, adapted to enclose the head with the face outside the closure. Also included are spray manifolds on an oscillating arcuate header, and driving means imparting partial rotation to the arcuate header. It has been found that dermatoses characterized by the formation of skin cells too rapidly to be eliminated, such as psoriasis, can be treated with this apparatus. Without the machine, removal of the dead cells or plaques is both time consuming and messy. In this treatment it is desirable to begin with low pressure sprays, and increase the pressure to the maximum which the patient can tolerate. One form of apparatus which could be used for this purpose is the machine disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,121. In that prior art device the pressure regulator was a conventional regulator ahead of the header. By this invention an adjustable pressure means is provided.
Abstract:
A hair rinsing device is set forth utilizing an inner flexible cover securable about its perimeter to an outer flexible cover. The outer flexible cover includes an inlet hose and an outlet hose enabling directing of rinsing fluid through a matrix of apertures formed in the inner cover. Fluid valving is arranged for optional directing and mixing of cold and heated water from a plurality of sources.
Abstract:
Automatic hair shampoo machines were the basis of my U.S. Pat. No. 3,521,647. It overcame the problems associated with prior automatic shampoo machines. One of the imperfections of my earlier hair shampooing apparatus was its washing action. Another one was that during the time the apparatus of U.S. Pat. No. 3,521,647 was in service, it became apparent that the use of liquid tanks or reservoirs imposed limitations on its use. Still another area subject to improvement was a lack of a hair drying apparatus. By improvements herein a hair shampoo machine is provided which can be used unattended. It has an improved washing action, uses no tanks, and incorporates a hair drying apparatus. The washing action has been improved by, among other things, manifolds mounted at definite angles to complement each other. The solution tanks have been eliminated and replaced by a system which injects quantities of hair treating solutions. The hair drying apparatus includes outlets in the bowl or cover of the machine.
Abstract:
A lightweight shampooing unit is disclosed comprising a hood having a manifold therein for directing water, shampoo or air into the hood and an outlet for discharging water, shampoo or air, the hood being adapted to be worn on the head around the scalp area, a sealing member being provided on the edge of the hood to prevent leakage of air, water or shampoo from the hood when in use. A water supply, pump and shampoo supply as well as an air blower are operatively connected through valves for delivering water or shampoo or air under pressure to the manifold in the hood, the water or shampoo being supplied under sufficient pressure to provide an agitating action within the hood. The discharge end of the hood is connected into a valve which is operable to either recirculate shampoo or rinse water through the pump and back into the manifold for efficient use of the shampoo and the rinse water or to vent the rinse water and shampoo as well as air from the hood.
