ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an automatic hair washer and, more particularly, to an automatic hair washer that prevents the hairs of a person undergoing hair washing from becoming tangled with each other.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventionally, when hairs of a person who has long hairs are washed by an automatic hair washer, the hairs hang into the internal bottom of the cistern, are attached to the internal wall of the cistern, thereby giving unfavorable feelings to the person under hair washing. Therefore, a mesh type hair placing plate which places hairs of the person under hair washing is provided in the sink, whereby it is prevented that hairs of the person under hair washing are attached to the internal wall of the cistern.
FIGS. 4 and 5

As shown in
FIG. 5
, in the prior art automatic hair washer, a mesh type hair placing plate
402
for placing hairs of the person under hair washing is provided in the cistern

, and the hairs of the person under hair washing are placed on the mesh type hair placing plate
402
. Therefore, there is no case where the hairs of the person under hair washing

thereby to give uncomfortable feelings to the person under hair washing.
However, in the prior art automatic hair washer, since the hairs

402
in disorder as shown in

, the hairs
401
of the person under hair washing are vigorously tangled with each other, urged by showers during the hair washing, which showers are spouted out from a plurality of shower heads which are provided at the internal wall of the cistern
403
, thereby resulting in great difficulty in ordering hairs after completing the hair washing.
