Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a steam jet device which can be used for hair treatment or as a facial steam massager by attaching a brush or a pine surger to the steam jet section.

Generally, this type of steam appliance is suitable for boiling steam that is humid and has a soft feel, so the structure is such that the main body has a built-in vaporizing chamber such as a steam generating can, and a cover can be attached and removed to cover the vaporizing chamber. It is a connected and separated type, and the volume of the vaporization chamber is set to a specified amount of water so that no more water can be added, and there is no risk of boiling water spewing out along with steam during use.

However, during use, the cover may be removed inadvertently, and the shock caused by the operation may cause hot water in the vaporizing chamber to spill out and cause burns.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve safety by integrating the main body and cover, and at the same time, to prevent more than a specified amount of water from entering the vaporization chamber in the integrated structure. be.

One embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a bottomed cylindrical main body, which has a built-in vaporizing chamber 3 heated by a heater 2 in the lower part, and a vapor chamber in the upper part communicating with the vaporizing chamber 3. 4 is formed.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a steam hole which opens outward from the hollow part of the steam chamber 4, and is used by attaching an attachment (not shown) such as a brush or a pine surge tool to a wall 6 formed in the vicinity of the steam hole.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a water inlet formed in the side wall of the steam chamber 4 of the main body 1, and its valve seat opening 9 is closed by a normally closed valve 11 supported by a spring 10.

12 is a water inlet fitting that is removably fitted to the water inlet lower;
It has a suitable notch 13 at its tip, and when fitted to the water inlet lower, the notch 13 presses the normally closed valve 11 to connect the steam chamber and the water inlet 8.

Reference numeral 14 denotes an opening/closing rod provided on the water inlet fitting 12, which always closes the water inlet portion 16 by a spring 15.

The water inlet lower of the main body 1 into which the water inlet fitting 12 is fitted is provided relatively at the upper part of the main body 1, so that the tip of the opening/closing rod 14 protrudes from the upper surface of the main body 1 when the water inlet fitting 12 is fitted. It is composed of:

Therefore, in the above configuration, when the main body 1 is reversed as shown in FIG. 2 after fitting the water inlet fitting 12 to the water inlet lower, the opening/closing rod 14 is pushed in the direction of the arrow a and the water inlet part 16 is opened.

Therefore, there is no need to attach or detach the lid each time, making it convenient to use.

In this state, the water inlet fitting 12 and the steam chamber 4 are in communication, and water can be poured from the water inlet part 16.

At this time, if the water level up to the water injection lower is set to be the specified amount of water in the vaporization chamber 3, there will be no possibility that more water than the specified amount of water in the vaporization chamber 3 will be poured into the vaporization chamber 3.

When the main body 1 is lifted in this state, the water inlet part 16 is closed and all the water in the water inlet fitting 12 flows into the steam chamber 4.

It is preferable to remove the water inlet fitting 12 when using the device for ease of use, but even if it is used as is, the water inlet portion 16 is always closed, so there is no risk of steam or hot water splashing out.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible not only to prevent burn accidents that occur when the main body and cover are separated, but also to prevent water from being poured in excess of the specified amount due to carelessness, and water to be used each time after regular use several times. Even if water is refilled, the amount of water can be regulated to a specified amount or less, and safety is significantly improved, as it is possible to reliably prevent boiling water from spilling out due to excess water.
