ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hair washing apparatus used when a hair washing is performed at a barbershop or a beauty salon.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventionally, when a hair washing is performed by a person for performing a hair washing at a barber shop or a beauty salon, for reducing uneasiness of a person to be washed during a hair washing, a hair dresser performs a hair washing with employing a hair washing chair having a seat part moving up and down by an up and down mechanism, on which the person to be washed is seated, or a hair washing unit having a bowl part moving up and down by an up and down mechanism, at which a hair washing is performed by the person for a hair washing.
FIG. 8
is a view illustrating that the person to be washed receives a hair washing at a conventional hair washing apparatus. The conventional hair washing apparatus is composed of a hair washing chair
80
having an up and down mechanism
81
for moving up and down a position of a seat part, on which the person to be washed is seated, and a hair washing unit provided no up and down mechanism, but provided with a bowl part
90
, at which a hair washing is performed by a hair dresser. When a hair washing is performed at the above-described hair washing apparatus, the hair dresser seats a person to be washed on the hair washing chair
80
, and moves up the up and don mechanism
81
by pressing a switch or the like (not shown) for operating the up and down mechanism
81
so that a head part of the person to be washed is positioned to the almost same height as the bowl part
90
. Thereafter, a seat back is tilted so that the person to be washed lies on his back, and makes the person to be washed place a head part on the bowl part
90
, and then a hair washing is stated.
However, according to the conventional hair washing apparatus, while there is a hair washing apparatus provided with an up and down mechanism
81
at a seat part of the hair washing chair
80
as illustrated in
FIG. 80
, or a hair washing apparatus provided with an up and down mechanism at the bowl part
90
of the hair washing unit, which is not shown, so that a height of the person to be washed is considered, there is no hair washing apparatus which considers a height of the person for performing a hair washing. Therefore, the hair washing apparatus is suited for a height of the person to be washed, which results in that a position of the bowl pat
90
is not suited for a height of the person for performing a hair washing, and thereby increasing uneasiness of a the person for performing a hair washing during a hair washing.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, it is possible to adjust height of the bowl part and the hair washing chair according to combinations of each height of a person to be washed and a person for performing a hair washing, thereby reducing uneasiness of each of the person to be washed and the person for performing a hair washing during a hair washing.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the hair washing apparatus described in the first aspect comprises the hair washing stand moving up and down mechanism having a bowl moving up and down cylinder, one end of which is connected to a frame, and the other end of which is connected to a bowl moving bracket, and a bowl attaching part for attaching the hair washing stand to an upper end of the bowl moving bracket, wherein the hair washing stand is moved up and down by driving the bowl moving up and down cylinder, and the hair washing chair moving up and down mechanism having a chair moving up and down cylinder, one end of which is connected to a base part arranged on a floor face, and the other end of which is connected to a chair moving bracket, and a chair attaching part for detachably attaching a chair to the chair moving bracket tin parallel to the base part via a chair supporting arm, wherein the hair washing chair is moved up and down by driving the chair moving up and down cylinder.
Therefore, each height of the ball part, at which a hair washing is performed, and the hair washing chair can be adjusted according to combinations of each height of a person to be washed and a person for performing a hair washing, thereby reducing uneasiness of each of the person to be washed and the person for performing a hair washing during a hair washing.
Further, the present hair washing apparatus is structured that the hair washing unit is provided with a hair washing chair via the chair supporting arm. Therefore, it is possible to easily arrange the present hair washing apparatus at a barber shop or a beauty salon.
