Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Loökenwiokler for hairdressing especially dry hair, with a handle, with a winding mandrel continuing the handle, which is provided on its circumference with radially protruding teeth, which are arranged in the form of rows of teeth on bars and with a device for lowering the Teeth inside the take-up mandrel.
  • the slot formation in the mandrel only allows straight teeth, as on the other hand only one or at most two oppositely directed rows of teeth can be accommodated.
  • the teeth are arranged on bars which form the ends of a spring sole and can also be lowered into the interior of the winding mandrel under pressure. Even if these toothed racks take up a little less space and are therefore easier to accommodate inside the mandrel, this hair curler suffers from the same defects as mentioned above.
  • Another well-known locomotive kenwickler (US-PS 3 275 007) serves individually mounted teeth on the winding mandrel housing, which can be opened and closed about axes transverse to the longitudinal axis of the winding mandrel.
  • a hollow rail which can be moved longitudinally inside the winding mandrel, is used, into which inward protruding tooth extensions engage. Teeth that can be folded over on the surface of the winding mandrel have the major disadvantage that they do not release the hair when they are folded over, but instead press on the surface of the mandrel and hold it there.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a heatable hair curler which has a large number of rows of teeth which can be completely lowered into the interior of the winding mandrel.
  • a Lookenwiokler of the type mentioned according to the invention is characterized in that the bars are designed as swivel bars, that the swivel bars are arranged parallel to the Wiokler axis and around a Wiokler tube, that the Sohwenkbars are rotatable about their longitudinal axes and are mounted on the winder tube that the swivel bars are surrounded by a rotating sleeve that is rotatable relative to the winder tube, that the rotating sleeve has passage openings for the teeth, these passage openings forming stop edges for erecting or folding down the teeth.
  • a plurality of rows of teeth can be arranged on a winder, without thereby the cavity inside the Winder must be claimed, which is so available to accommodate a heating element.
  • the rotating sleeve which is easy to operate, moves all teeth at the same time and without noticeable resistance, especially when the passage openings are provided with stop edges for the teeth, which ensure that the teeth are easily erected and folded down. Because the teeth can be completely brought inside a winding mandrel, this hair curler can be pulled out of any heated and curled hair roller without any hindrance and the hair shape can be maintained. Finally, the inside of the winding tube remains free for receiving a heating element.
  • Teeth which have been found to be particularly advantageous against the set-up direction, which on the one hand improve the turning in of the hair and on the other hand make it easier to straighten and flip the rows of teeth, in particular when the straightening edge of the duro access openings is widened to form a sliding surface.
  • the winding tube is expediently equipped with longitudinal troughs for the mounting of the pivoting rods and with ring grooves for receiving the folded teeth.
  • the areas of the winder tube which are not provided with recesses two-dimensionally have such a wall dioke that there is contact with the rotating sleeve and the heat emitted by the heating element is thus transferred directly to the rotating sleeve.
  • a tubular extension 2 is formed on a handle 1 of a hair curler, into which a winding tube 3 is inserted and held in it in a rotationally secure manner by means of a screw 4.
  • a heating rod 6 In a cavity 5 of this winder tube there is a heating rod 6 with a connecting cable 7.
  • a bearing cap 8 is attached to the open end of the winder tube and is fixed to the winder tube by means of a screw 9 and a locking spring 10. This bearing cap abuts with its bearing disc 12 on the winder tube and forms a bearing ring 13 into which the ends of pivot rods 15 protrude, which engage with their other ends in a bearing gap 16 between the sleeve 2 and a plug extension 14 of the winder tube 3.
  • the swivel rods 15 thus run parallel to the winder axis and can be rotated or swiveled about their own longitudinal axis.
  • the swivel rods 15 are mounted in the longitudinal troughs 18 (FIGS. 2 and 3) of the winding tube 3.
  • the winding tube also has annular grooves 19 into which these teeth can be completely turned over (FIG. 2, dashed tooth 30). For this reason, the ring grooves are expediently somewhat deeper than the longitudinal troughs.
  • the winding tube thus equipped with swivel rods 15 is enclosed by a rotating sleeve 20 which is in contact with it, so as to provide a direct transition for the heating rod 6 to give off the heat given off.
  • the rotating sleeve also overlaps the bearing disk 12 and is seated with its end 21 on a turning handle 22.
  • This cap-shaped twist grip is fixed by means of an inner guide ring 23 in a groove 24 of the bearing cap against axial displacement, but is rotatably supported in both directions about its longitudinal axis.
  • the other end 25 of the rotating sleeve ends near the extension 2. It can be covered by a protective sleeve 26.
  • the rotating sleeve 20 has a passage opening 28 for each tooth 17 of the rows of teeth, which is slightly larger than the tooth dimensions in the direction of rotation of the rotating sleeve.
  • the teeth stand up in the working position (Fig. 2).
  • These upstanding teeth are folded over when the rotating sleeve is turned in the direction of bearing according to FIG. 2 with respect to the winding tube, because the abutting edges 29 of the passage openings abut the teeth and flip them over until they rest on the annular groove 19 in the winding tube 3 (FIG 2, dashed tooth 30).
  • the teeth are inside the rotating sleeve and the free ends 31 do not protrude from the passage openings.
  • the hair curler is simple and easy to carry out. Once the teeth of the winder are set up, it can be used like any other winder. If it is to be removed after the end of a treatment, for which purpose it usually has to be pulled out of a screwed-in lock of hair or roller, then the upstanding teeth are first pulled out of the hair by turning the rotary handle 22 counter-clockwise relative to the handle 1 until they are on the Are wrapped and no longer protrude from the rotating sleeve. In this position, the curler, which is essentially smooth on its surface, can then be removed from the lock of hair without hindrance.
  • the passage openings 28 could also extend over all or part of the length of the rotating sleeve and thus capture several or all teeth in a row.
  • the pivot rods 15 do not need to be accommodated in the longitudinal troughs of a reinforced winding tube if the winding tube has only a wall thickness which creates a free space between the tube and the rotating sleeve, in which the pivot rods, for example with their ends, are then mounted.
  • the teeth of the individual rows can be aligned with one another or can also be offset with respect to one another.
