Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haarwellgerät mit einem eine Beheizungsvorrichtung enthaltenden, einendig in einem Griffteil gehalterten, vorzugsweise zylindrischen Stabkörper, einem den Brennstoff für die Beheizungsvorrichtung enthaltenden Brennstofftank, einer im Stabkörper untergebrachten, einen Katalysator aufweisenden Brennkammer und einer an dem dem Griffteil abgekehrten Ende des Stabkörpers angeordneten Zündvorrichtung sowie einer zwischen Brennstofftank und Brennkammer angeordneten Ventileinrichtung.The invention relates to a hair waving device with a preferably cylindrical rod body containing a heating device, held at one end in a handle part, a fuel tank containing the fuel for the heating device, a combustion chamber accommodated in the rod body and having a catalyst and an end of the rod body arranged on the end facing away from the handle part Ignition device and a valve device arranged between the fuel tank and the combustion chamber.

Ein derart aufgebautes Haarwellgerät ist aus der älteren Anmeldung EP-A 0 021 224 (Art. 5463) für DE, FR, GB, IT und SE) bekannt. Dabei weist die Zündvorrichtung ein Reibrad mit mechanischer Betätigung und einen Zündstein auf.A hair waving device constructed in this way is known from the earlier application EP-A 0 021 224 (Art. 5463) for DE, FR, GB, IT and SE). The ignition device has a friction wheel with mechanical actuation and a flint.

Von besonderer Bedeutung bei derartigen Geräten ist eine schnelle und sichere Zündung und ständige Betriebsbereitschaft.Fast and safe ignition and constant operational readiness are of particular importance with such devices.

Deshalb lag der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Haarpflegegerät mit einer Zündvorrichtung zu schaffen, das bei netzunabhängigem Betrieb und sehr kompakten Aufbau eine hohe Betriebssicherheit bei schneller Ansprechbarkeit der Zündung und jederzeitiger Betriebsbereitschaft aufweist.The object of the invention was therefore to create a hair care device with an ignition device which, when operated independently of the mains and with a very compact design, has a high level of operational reliability with quick responsiveness to the ignition and being ready for operation at all times.

Um den Vorgang der katalytischen Verbrennung möglichst derart in Gang zu setzen, dass keine Verpuffung des aus der Ventileinrichtung ausströmenden Gases auftritt, wird diese Aufgabe nach der Erfindung mit einer elektrisch betriebenen Zündvorrichtung gelöst, die im Rohr vor der Brennkammer angeordnet ist und eine Batterie aufweist, die über eine am freien Ende des Rohres bewegbar angeordnete Bedientaste in einen einen Glühdraht, vorzugsweise einen Platindraht, aufweisenden Stromkreis einschaltbar ist.In order to start the catalytic combustion process in such a way that there is no deflagration of the gas flowing out of the valve device, this object is achieved according to the invention with an electrically operated ignition device which is arranged in the pipe in front of the combustion chamber and has a battery, which can be switched into a circuit having a glow wire, preferably a platinum wire, via an operating button arranged movably at the free end of the tube.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Anordnungsform ergibt sich, wenn der elektrische Glühdraht in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zum Katalysator angeordnet ist, wobei der Katalysator aus Brennerrohr umgreifender Quarzwolle gebildet ist, die mit einem katalytischen Werkstoff, beispielsweise Platin, beschichtet ist.A particularly advantageous form of arrangement results when the electric glow wire is arranged in the immediate vicinity of the catalytic converter, the catalytic converter being formed from quartz wool encompassing the burner tube, which is coated with a catalytic material, for example platinum.

Eine weitere Ausgestaltungsform ist im Anspruch 4 angegeben.A further embodiment is specified in claim 4.

Die Erfindung lässt die verschiedensten Ausführungsmöglichkeiten zu. Eine davon ist in der Zeichnung näher dargestellt.The invention allows for a wide variety of design options. One of them is shown in the drawing.

Die in der Figur dargestellte Ausführungsform des Haarwellgeräts weist eine Zündvorrichtung Z auf, die mit Hilfe einer elektrischen Batterie 57 arbeitet, die am freien Ende 58 des Rohres 56 des zylindrischen Stabkörpers in einem zweiteiligen Zünderträger 64, 65 gehalten ist. Die Zünderträger 64, 65 sind mit Drahtstücken 61, 62, 63 bzw. Kontaktbügeln 79, 80, 90, 91 versehen, über die der Zündstrom von der Batterie 57 zu einem Glühdraht 60 gelangt.The embodiment of the hair waving device shown in the figure has an ignition device Z which works with the aid of an electric battery 57 which is held in a two-part igniter carrier 64, 65 at the free end 58 of the tube 56 of the cylindrical rod body. The igniter carriers 64, 65 are provided with wire pieces 61, 62, 63 or contact brackets 79, 80, 90, 91, via which the ignition current from the battery 57 reaches a glow wire 60.

Um die elektrische Zündvorrichtung einzuschalten, wird die Bedientaste 59 gedrückt, d. h. sie wird in Gerätelängsrichtung gegen die Kraft einer Druckfeder 92 bewegt, bis der Kontaktbügel 90 den Kontaktbügel 79 berührt bzw. an diesem fest anliegt. Der Batteriestrom fliesst nun von der Batterie 57 über die Druckfeder 92, die Kontaktbügel 90, 79, 80 und die Drahtstücke 61, 63 zum Glühdraht 60 bzw. über das Drahtstück 62 und den Kontaktbügel 91. Der Glühdraht 60 bringt nun, bei eingeschaltetem Stromkreis, das in die Brennkammer B entströmende Brennstoff/Luft-Gemisch zur Entzündung; damit kommt der katalytische Oxydationsprozess im Katalysator 77 in Gang.To turn on the electric igniter, the operation button 59 is pressed, i.e. H. it is moved in the longitudinal direction of the device against the force of a compression spring 92 until the contact bracket 90 touches the contact bracket 79 or bears firmly against the latter. The battery current now flows from the battery 57 via the compression spring 92, the contact bracket 90, 79, 80 and the wire pieces 61, 63 to the glow wire 60 or via the wire piece 62 and the contact bracket 91. The glow wire 60 now brings, with the circuit switched on, the fuel / air mixture flowing into the combustion chamber B for ignition; this starts the catalytic oxidation process in the catalyst 77.

Der Katalysator 77 besteht aus einem strumpfartigen Gebilde aus Quarzwolle, die mit Platin beschichtet ist, wobei diese zu einem strumpfartigen Gebilde gepresste Quarzwolle auf ein dünnwandiges Brennerrohr 78 aufgeschoben ist, das nach vorne zu, d.h. in Richtung auf die Zündvorrichtung Z, geschlossen ist und für den Brenngasaustritt mehrere Bohrungen 94, 95 aufweist.The catalyst 77 consists of a stocking-like structure made of quartz wool, which is coated with platinum, this quartz wool pressed into a stocking-like structure being pushed onto a thin-walled burner tube 78, which forwards, i.e. in the direction of the ignition device Z, is closed and has a plurality of bores 94, 95 for the fuel gas outlet.

Ein Griffteil 54 bildet gleichzeitig den Brennstofftank; es ist nach hinten zu durch einen Stopfen 96 abgeschlossen (der ein nicht dargestelltes Füllventil aufweisen kann) und wird vorne von einem Ventilkörper 97 begrenzt. Der Ventilkörper 97 weist eine Ventilbohrung 98 auf, in der ein federbelastetes Ventilglied 55 längsverschiebbar gelagert ist. Das Ventilglied ist gegenüber der Ventilbohrung 98 mit Hilfe eines Dichtrings 99 abgedichtet. Das hintere Ende des Ventilglieds 55 weist eine Gummischeibe 76 auf, die in der dargestellten Position den Brennstoffaustritt über die Bohrung 101 und die Ventildüse 102 verschliesst. Mit 75 ist ein Stopfen aus Sintermetall bezeichnet, in dem der Brennstoff verdampft, der vom Docht 74 zur Ventilöffnung 103 gefördert wird. Mit 70, 71, 72 und 73 sind Schaumstoffkörper bezeichnet, die den im Brennstofftank 54 befindlichen Brennstoff reinigen und ihn - insbesondere bei nur teilweise gefülltem Brennstofftank-zum Docht 74 transportieren.A handle part 54 simultaneously forms the fuel tank; it is closed at the rear by a plug 96 (which may have a filling valve, not shown) and is delimited at the front by a valve body 97. The valve body 97 has a valve bore 98 in which a spring-loaded valve member 55 is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable. The valve member is sealed off from the valve bore 98 by means of a sealing ring 99. The rear end of the valve member 55 has a rubber washer 76 which, in the position shown, closes the fuel outlet via the bore 101 and the valve nozzle 102. A plug made of sintered metal is designated by 75, in which the fuel evaporates, which is conveyed from the wick 74 to the valve opening 103. 70, 71, 72 and 73 denote foam bodies which clean the fuel in the fuel tank 54 and transport it to the wick 74, in particular when the fuel tank is only partially filled.

Das Ventilglied 55 wird von der Feder 104 in die Offen-Stellung geschoben (d.h. nach links bewegt, damit das Brenngas bei 102 austreten kann), wenn der auf dem Bolzen 105 kippbar gelagerte Ventilhebel 51 vom Stellglied 107 mit Steuerkurve 108 gegen die Kraft der Druckfeder 109 nach links verschwenkt wird (also sich von seiner Anlage am Reglerhebel 51 löst). Das Brenngas strömt in der Offen-Stellung von der Ventildüse 102 durch das Mischrohr 111 in das Brennerrohr 78 ein und von hier aus durch die Bohrungen 94, 95 zum Katalysator 77, wo es flammenlos verbrennt. Wenn die Temperatur in der Brennkammer B zu weit ansteigt, dann verkürzt die Reglerstange 53, die bei 112 mit dem Reglerrohr 113 verbunden ist, ihre Länge so weit, dass der auf dem Bolzen 105 kippbar gelagerte Reglerhebel 51 nach rechts bewegt wird und somit das Ventilglied 55 in die Geschlossen-Stellung verschoben wird. Solange der Ventilhebel 106 nach links verschwenkt bleibt, kann der Reglermechanismus 53, 112, 113, 51 den Gasaustritt aus der Ventildüse 102 frei regeln. In der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Position jedoch ist der Reglerhebel 51 blockiert (in seiner GeschlossenStellung).The valve member 55 is pushed by the spring 104 into the open position (ie moved to the left so that the fuel gas can escape at 102) when the valve lever 51, which is tiltably mounted on the pin 105, is actuated by the actuator 107 with control cam 108 against the force of the compression spring 109 is pivoted to the left (i.e. detaches from its contact with the control lever 51). In the open position, the fuel gas flows from the valve nozzle 102 through the mixing tube 111 into the burner tube 78 and from here through the bores 94, 95 to the catalyst 77, where it burns flamelessly. If the temperature in the combustion chamber B rises too much, then the control rod 53, which is connected at 112 to the control tube 113, shortens its length so that the control lever 51, which is tiltably mounted on the pin 105, is moved to the right, and thus the valve member 55 is moved to the closed position. As long as the valve lever 106 remains pivoted to the left, the regulator mechanism 53, 112, 113, 51 can freely regulate the gas outlet from the valve nozzle 102. In the position shown in the drawing, however, the control lever 51 is blocked (in its closed position).
