The specific embodiment

Referring to figs. 1 to 7A, represented the hair care devices of first preferred embodiment of the invention among the figure, this hair care devices is set to dressing accessory.This dressing accessory for example can be used for hair dryer or hair dryers.The utensil that dressing accessory 1 comprises the Hair setting utensil and is used to regulate effective space width of this Hair setting utensil.The Hair setting utensil is installed on the main casing 10, and comprises comb sub-component 20.The comb sub-component comprises first comb row or the first comb parts 30 and second comb row or the second comb parts 40.The utensil that is used to regulate effective space width comprises that the facewidth regulates utensil 50.Each the first comb parts 30 and the second comb parts 40 comprise a plurality of

elongated teeth

31,41, and these

elongated teeth

31,41 stretch out from elongated bases part 32,42.The bearing of trend of tooth and base part is vertical substantially usually.

Elongated tooth

31,41 on identical comb parts is parallel to each other usually, and space width has been determined at the interval between the adjacent elongated tooth.This space width has been determined the pitch of corresponding comb parts.In this example, space width between the adjacent elongated tooth on the identical comb parts or

pitch

33,43 are basic identical.

In addition, facewidth degree and space width on identical comb parts are roughly the same, and like this, the combing tooth equidistantly distributes along the length of the base part of each comb parts substantially.In this manual, the meaning of the width of space width normally the combing tooth along the span (spread) of the length (direction) of suitable comb parts or combing utensil.Also have, the meaning of the effective space width of term is normally across (transverse) the effective combing space width on the length (direction) of comb parts.

Elongated tooth

31,41 is a substantially rigid or semi-rigid, and is made by for example materials such as plastics, metal, bakelite, bone.Certainly, elongated tooth also can by flexible material for example flexible plastic make so that form tuft or bristle.When elongated tooth was made by plastics or metal, elongated tooth and corresponding base part can perhaps can form one by punching press or compacting by the molded one that forms when being made of metal.Form efficient in order to improve hair style,

tooth

31,41 is made by metal or other Heat Conduction Material.

As a kind of version, elongated tooth also can be formed by the bristle tuft, and this bristle tuft is installed on the base part (as the retainer of bristle) of comb parts.The first comb parts 30 and the second comb parts 40 are installed on the front portion of main casing 10, like this, but 30,40 relative motions of comb parts, so that change, change or regulate effective space width of comb attachment.This will help to provide the optimal teeth that for example is used for specific thicknesses hair spacing.

Because want the hair of combing must pass through effective space width of comb attachment 1, so that carry out suitable combing, therefore, the optimal teeth spacing can be adjusted to neither can be too wide (to such an extent as to make too many hair can simultaneously by single pitch), also can too narrow (to such an extent as to not making comb be difficult to pass through hair).When hair will mesh by effective space width, will move and on hair, apply certain tensile force along hair along with carding element.The effective spacing of suitable adjustable will comb when hair moves with suitable tensile force and hair engagement.

In order to regulate effective space width or pitch, the first comb parts 30 and the second comb parts 40 are arranged to relatively-movable structure, like this, the elongated tooth of comb parts (" the first comb parts ") can and leave this tooth parts towards the tooth component movement of another comb parts (" the second comb parts ").This will form effective space width of certain limit by the cooperation between the adjacent teeth of the first and second comb parts.Because the relative motion between the first comb parts 30 and the second comb parts 40, the a part of space width on the first movable comb parts 30 again by second fixedly the elongated tooth on the comb parts 40 cover, thereby change total effectively space width 34 of comb attachment, shown in Fig. 7 A.

For fear of contrary opinion, should be known in whole specification, effectively the meaning of space width be the spacing between the adjacent elongated tooth deduct by the tooth on another comb parts cover or across spacing.

Because parallel to each other usually by the pitch of teeth that the adjacent teeth on the identical comb parts limits, therefore preferably, the space width of adjusting is also parallel to each other usually, also is parallel to the elongated tooth of comb parts usually.Therefore, the comb parts are along the first direction relative motion, thereby make the elongated tooth on the comb parts of motion keep parallel with another (static) comb parts in the relative motion process, although this comb arrangements of components is at the differing heights place.

Usually, above-mentioned first direction is parallel to the length direction of elongated comb parts, and with respect to the direction of elongated tooth or longitudinal axis is angled or tilt.Elongated tooth extends along second direction usually, thereby can regulate effective space width 34 easily.In this preferred embodiment, the comb arrangements of components becomes to make direction and the relative motion between the comb parts or the translation direction approximate vertical of elongated tooth.Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first and second direction approximate vertical, and effectively space width is regulated along the relative motion of the direction vertical with second direction by the comb parts.Certainly, first and second directions also can out of plumb, and can tilt with proper angle.

For more convenient, can regulate that the comb sub-component is installed in can be from the head 11 of main casing 10 dismounting.As shown in Figure 3, locking utensil 12 is arranged on the head 11, so that help the dismounting between comb sub-component and the main casing.

To introduce space width in more detail with particular reference to Fig. 4 to 7A below and regulate utensil and its operation.

With particular reference to Fig. 4 to 5C, the second comb parts 40 firmly are connected with main casing 10, more particularly, firmly be connected with the head 11 of main casing 10, and roughly 42 teeth that stretch out along second direction from base part are arranged.The head 11 of main casing is a rigidity substantially also, and comprises top, bottom, flipper guide and front hole (comb tooth is exposed).Flipper guide 111,112 forms the carriage that surrounds the tooth parts together, and surpasses the tip extension of comb tooth, so that make the extra-regional hair of combing can not enter the tooth zone.The first movable comb parts 30 are supported in movable mode by the second comb parts 40 by supporting structure 13 (the more detailed expression in Fig. 5 A of this supporting structure 13).

Supporting structure 13 comprises rivet 131, and this rivet 131 connects the first and second comb parts by its bar, and blocks the comb parts by its head.For the comb parts 30 of winning can be moved along second direction, opening is formed on the first comb parts 30 less times greater than the slotted eye of rivet bar diameter.This slotted eye be sized to make win comb parts 30 can be when keeping along the first direction translation by rivet head.

Therefore the separator arrangement that is pad 132 in this example so that reduce contact area, and reduces friction between the comb parts.For adjustment movement scope and avoid rivet directly to be clipped on the first comb parts, metal gasket 133 is set, so that surround part this bar, that be higher than the second comb parts, 40 planes.This metal gasket 133 is adjusted at the space between the hole on the rivet bar and the first comb parts, is used for along the translation of first direction at OK range, and the base part that rivet head is increased to be higher than the first comb parts 30.

In order to make the motion of the first comb parts 30 and in order to control the motion gradually of the first comb parts 30, the first comb parts 30 are connected with the space width adjusting utensil 50 that comprises motion.Motion comprises rotary part, and this rotary part has rounded nose 51 and threaded shank portion 52.Shaft portion 52 can be rotated to support on the left side guide 111 of main casing.

In order to limit the lengthwise movement of rotary part with respect to flipper guide 111, comprise clip 53 (preferably with axle 52 on circular trough engagement) holding member be arranged near the flipper guide of head 11.With the recess engagement on the nut 54 of the threaded portion of axle 52 engagement and the base part 32 that is formed at the first comb parts 30.Engagement between recess and nut 54 is preferably in the mode of closely cooperating, and like this, any the vertically moving along first direction all will make the comb parts of winning move along first direction to nut 54 because the rounded nose 51 of rotary part rotates.

For the not desired movement of further restraint comb parts 30 after selecting and being provided with preferred space width, keep utensil to be formed at rotation accordingly and regulate the bottom side of knob 51 and the outside of flipper guide 111.This maintenance utensil 510 comprises the less cheese recess 511 of the bottom side that is formed at rotation adjusting knob 51, and this cheese recess 511 is used for and meshes in the respective shapes in flipper guide 11 outsides and the peg 512 of position.Keep utensil 510 to draw back or to press to opposite side guide plate 112 from flipper guide 111 and discharge engagement by rotate adjusting knob 51 by the flipper guide 111 that will be loaded with rotary part.The residual elasticity of this substantially rigid head will allow to keep utensil to throw off like this.

For the comb parts of winning can be remained on and the predetermined corresponding a plurality of precalculated positions of effective space width, a plurality of maintenance recesses 511 are arranged in the bottom side of rotation knob 51, are used for and peg 512 engagements.

Introduce space width below and regulate the operation of utensil, when the rotation of rotation head, the threaded portion of axle 52 also will rotate, thereby make nut 54 move or leave this rotation head 51 towards rotating head 51 along thread spindle.Because the engagement of the recess on the base part 32 of the nut 54 and the first comb parts, therefore, the first comb parts 30 will move along the longitudinal direction of axle 52.Therefore, by can moving along first direction along first direction disposed axle 52, the first comb parts, simultaneously the elongated tooth on the first comb parts roughly with the second comb parts on elongated tooth move abreast.

Because this comb attachment is designed to work when being connected with hair dryer or hair-dryer, therefore, an end 13 of main casing is generally tubular, and shape is corresponding with the tubular outlet of hair dryer that is fit to or hair-dryer.When the air outlet slit of annex stopped up in carding process, in order to make overheated air deflection so that leave hair, the air deflection in downstream outlet 14 was arranged near the head of main casing, and like this, hot-air can deflection, and is overheated to avoid scalp.

In normal use, hot-air that comes out from hot blast or warm braw hair-dryer or warm air will heat the

tooth

31,41 on the comb attachment.When the suitable adjustable space width, hair will be in extended state when annex is pulled through hair.This tensile force makes that hair is stretching suitably or forms hair style with heating.Should be known in that for this purpose metal-toothed will be conducted heat more efficiently.

Should be known in that parts 716 directly are not connected with comb 705.Although directly connection will make comb 705 carry out required motion, present embodiment is not in order to make comb 705 discrete intervals motion and locking.But activation button 712 will make comb 705 persistent movements, and the user can be defined in the gap that forms between the tooth of comb by the degree of depth of forcing down of control button 712.Direct-connected danger is that the user may firmly push on button 712, and clamps hair between tooth, thereby causes pain or damage the hair of clamping like this.Certainly, the direction of motion of movable comb 705 can change by the cam face relation that changes between axle 714 and cam 715, and does not lose general character.

In order to limit this situation, pressure limit mechanism is used to limit by tooth and is applied to pressure on the hair that is pressed between the tooth.

Pressure limit mechanism can adopt various forms, and in the present embodiment, it forms the bias voltage utensil in driving mechanism.

With reference to figure 20D, can see that again parts 716 will pass to and comb 705 direct-connected parts 719 by the second bias voltage utensil of compression spring 717 forms away from the motion of the comb end of device.For the part 719 of U-shaped component form again against the thrust effect of the first bias voltage utensil 718, this first bias voltage utensil 718 is used to make comb 705 to return open position.In the present embodiment, the compressive strength of the first bias voltage utensil 718 is lower than the second bias voltage utensil 717.Therefore, when button 712 motions, parts 716 and 717 will move against the thrust of bias voltage utensil 718 simultaneously substantially.But, when the user pushes when applying the degree of too big pressure on the hair of button 712 between may the tooth at comb, the further motion of comb 705 will be controlled by the boundary value of compression spring 717.

With reference to figure 20C, can see, the axle 714,721 that each button 711 and 712 is driven apart, these 714,721 act on they self the cam face 715,722.These cam faces tilt with relativeness in the end of parts 716, so that no matter pushing button 712 or 711 can both be along the correct direction effect.

Figure 21 A-E has represented an also embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, hair care devices comprises the comb that is installed on the handle, and this comb also makes and add hot air acting in the hair that spurs between comb tooth.In addition, this mechanism has three groups of bristles or the tooth 801,802 and 803 that stretches out from handle portion 804 equally.Two groups of identical with previous embodiment, that middle one group of tooth 802 can corresponding outside motions.

With reference to figure 21D, can see that driving mechanism comprises button 806, this button 806 is pressed last item 807 again, and this axle 807 acts on the inclined cam surface 808.At this moment, push button and make cam face move, so that promotion activity comb 802 is away from handle towards the comb of device.

The power on the comb 802 of being passed to is against the first bias voltage utensil 811, and this first bias voltage utensil 811 is used to make comb to be back to the wideest space width.But, the transmission of this power will be by the second bias voltage utensil 812, and this second bias voltage utensil 812 can limit lateral be applied to by the pressure on the hair of comb pulling.In fact, comb 805 balance between two compression springs 811 and 812.When the compressive strength of the first bias voltage utensil 811 during less than the compressive strength of the second bias voltage utensil 812, the motion of cam face 808 will be used to make comb 802 motions, and like this, tooth has reduced the spacing between the tooth of comb 805 and adjacent comb 801,803.Pressure on being applied to hair is during greater than the boundary value of the second bias voltage utensil 812, and the further motion of button and cam face 808 can only be compressed spring 812, and comb 802 is further moved.

Figure 22 A-D has represented an also embodiment of the present invention, and wherein, the present invention is and similar comb form shown in Figure 20 A.The difference of present embodiment is driving mechanism.

Driving realizes by button 902 is slided with respect to handle 901.Shown in special among Figure 22 A, the externally motion between the comb 903,905 of movable comb 904 is so that reduce space width.Make sliding button 902 return and to make parts 907 motions equally away from comb.Comb 904 directly is connected with end portion 908 between two biasing

devices

911 and 912.

The initial motion of slider 902 will transmit by the parts 907 and the second bias voltage utensil 912, so that make part 908 and comb 904 move against the effect of bias voltage utensil 911.For previous embodiment, the compressive strength of the first bias voltage utensil 911 is less than the second bias voltage utensil 912.But, when the pressure that produces between tooth by tooth owing to hair surpasses the boundary value of the second bias voltage utensil 912, the further motion of slider 902 will make spring 912 compress, rather than comb 904 is further moved.
