Description

~ ~lCATION
The present invention relates to a fli cpos~hl R
hairdresser ' 8 set .
It is well-known that one of the means through which 5 ~iqeAC~c are indirectly spread amongst individual6 is due to contacting with objects used by the fl;~e~cF~d. This is why sharing combs and other i 1~ L~ may clearly easily spread irreversi~le or barely ~ hle ~ic"~c.,~, such as parasitic and particularly infectious f~i COFlCr~
Professional hairdressing ; _ 1~ LL clearly come into contact with a large number of individuals, thereby bringing a~out conditions that pose a considerable threat of healthy individuals being infected upon the presence of only one ~; cF~c~rl individual.
The set subject of the present invention has been conceived to solve this current problem, contributing prophylactic advantages derived from its YLlU~:LUL~ and configuration, and its use in both the professional and private f ields, or elsewhere, avoid the spreading of 20 diseases by direct contagion.
Broadly speaking, the set propo5ed herein ccmprises an elongate and ~xLL, -ly slim case made of a laminar ctructure~ preferably paper, sealed tightly at itg edges by heat welding, housing within it a comb that shall have 25 been fully sterilised at a t _LClLULe in excess of 300-, fresh from the sterilising machine, and/or also similarly sterilised scissors. The set is preferably to be used by hairdressers, although it could also be used elsewhere, namely at home, hotels, rest homes, when travelling, at 30 film studios and wheresoever a comb is commonly used.
Implements p~k~fl under the conditions aforesaid are made of a low-cost moulded or like material, and are solely to be used once by the same person, the user being thus assured of the use of sterile implements, at no risk 35 of contagion.

P'or ease of explanation, attached hereto is a sheet of drawings illustrating an I ` ~; L that is cited only as an example.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is an open, unfolded view of the disposable set according to the example;
Figure 2 shows the closed set;
Figure 3 i8 a cross-section of t_e set along III-III .
With reference to the figures, the embodiment shows a ~i~pos:~hle hairdresser's set which comprises a laminar casing, g~nerally designated -1-, made of paper or a 6imilar material, comprising longitudinal fold lines, designated -2-, through which an enclosure is composed that is kept sealed by heat sealing three sides -3-, -4-and -5 - -A comb -6- and/or scissors -7- sterilised in a suitable machine at a temperature in excess of 300-C or using any other sterilisation system are inserted before the casing is closed. The above set has a slim, elongate ~Lr ~l~iLuL~ which fosters the p~rk~;n~ of grouped units and carriage of one or more of said units in a pocket.
The set is basically destined to be used by hairdressers and the idea is to dispose of the various i _ 1~ L
co~b and scissors, after f;n;chin~ work with someone.
Reference lines -8- run parallel to the shorter sides for the casing -1- to be cut open.

Claims

1.- A disposable hairdresser's set, essentially characterised by comprising a casing constituted by a part with a laminar structure of straight, elongate rectangular shape, having longitudinal fold lines that make it easier to be assembled as an extremely slim and elongate case which makes up a sealed enclosure by heat sealing the shorter sides and longitudinal edges, the latter forming a central longitudinal flange, which enclosure has sufficient capacity to contain a comb and/or scissors, both implements being sterilised at a temperature in excess of 300°C, said implements being made of a low-cost moulded material to be used once only.
