Abstract

An apparatus for applying color to hair includes a color-applying comb having several teeth which are substantially triangularly shaped in a top view, are arranged on a comb back, are spaced by relatively large distances, and are tapered toward their tips. The gaps which lie between the teeth are substantially triangularly shaped in a top view and taper toward the comb back. Each tooth has in its enlarged part and in the vicinity of the comb back a color chamber, and has a narrow slot which extends perpendicular to the comb back from the tooth tip into the color chamber.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Farbauftragskamm mit mehreren an einem Kammrücken angeordneten Zähnen und dazwischenliegenden Lücken.The invention relates to a paint application comb with a plurality of teeth arranged on a comb back and gaps between them.

Einen derartigen Farbauftragskamm verwendet man zum Einfärben einzelner feiner Haarsträhnen. Der bisher bekannte Farbauftragskamm ist wie ein normaler Kamm mit groben Zähnen ausgebildet. Zum Einfärben der Haarsträhnen werden die inneren Enden der Lücken zwischen den Zähnen mit Farbmasse gefüllt und dann der Kamm durch das Haar hindurchgezogen. Hierbei wird die Farbmasse auf die zwischen den Zähnen hindurchgleitenden Haarsträhnen aufgetragen. Da jedoch die Zahnlücken verhältnismäßig dicht beieinanderliegen und von ihnen auch verhältnismäßig viele Haarsträhnen erfaßt werden, ergibt sich ein mehr großflächiger Auftrag von Farbmasse und demzufolge sind dann später auch zu viele Haare flächig eingefärbt und nicht in Form einzelner Strähnen. Außerdem können die schmalen Lücken zwischen den Zähnen nur verhältnismäßig wenig Farbmasse aufnehmen, so daß bei längeren Haaren die Farbmasse nicht ausreicht, um Haarsträhnen auf ihrer ganzen Länge einzufärben. Auch müssen die Lücken nach jedem Hindurchziehen des Kammes wieder mit Farbmasse gefüllt werden. Da mit dem bisherigen Farbauftragskamm ein Einfärben einzelner Haarsträhnen nicht richtig zu erreichen ist, weist der bekannte Kamm am Ende seines Stieles einen Schlitz auf, der wie die Lükke zwischen den Zähnen des Kammes ausgebildet ist. Es kann deshalb auch nur verhältnismäßig wenig Farbmasse in die Lücke eingebracht werden, was zu den obenerwähnten Nachteilen führt. Mit dem am Stielende vorgesehenen Schlitz ist es zwar besser möglich einzelne Strähnen einzufärben, jedoch ist das Einfärben sehr langwierig, da immer nur eine Strähne eingefärbt wird. Außerdem besteht die Gefahr, daß beim Auftragen der Farbmasse auf eine Strähne die Farbmasse auf den vorher behandelten Strähnen verschmiert wird.Such a paint application comb is used for coloring individual fine strands of hair. The previously known paint application comb is designed like a normal comb with coarse teeth. To color the strands of hair, the inner ends of the gaps between the teeth are filled with colored material and then the comb is pulled through the hair. The color mass is applied to the strands of hair sliding between the teeth. However, since the tooth gaps are relatively close together and they also capture a relatively large number of strands of hair, there is a more extensive application of coloring material and, consequently, too many hairs are later colored and not in the form of individual strands. In addition, the narrow gaps between the teeth can absorb only a relatively small amount of color, so that with longer hair the color is not sufficient to color strands of hair along their entire length. The gaps also have to be filled with paint every time the comb is pulled through. Since it is not possible to properly color individual strands of hair with the previous paint application comb, the known comb has a slit at the end of its stem, which, like the gap, is formed between the teeth of the comb. Therefore, only a relatively small amount of ink can be introduced into the gap, which leads to the disadvantages mentioned above. With the slit provided at the end of the stem, it is better possible to dye individual strands, but the dyeing is very lengthy, since only one strand is colored at a time. In addition, there is a risk that when applying the dye to a strand, the dye will be smeared on the previously treated strands.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Farbauftragskamm der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, der ein rasches und exakteres Einfärben einzelner, genau abgegrenzter Haarsträhnen ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a paint application comb of the type mentioned at the outset, which enables quick and precise coloring of individual, precisely delimited strands of hair.

Dies wird nach der Erfindung dadurch erreicht, daß sich die in größerem Abstand angeordneten in Draufsicht im wesentlichen dreieckförmigen Zähne zu ihren Spitzen hin pfeilförmig verjüngen und die in Draufsicht im wesentlichen dreieckförmigen Lücken sich zum Kammrücken hin dementsprechend verjüngen und daß jeder Zahn in seinem verbreiterten Teil in der Nähe des Kammrückens eine Farbkammer aufweist, die zu einer Seitenfläche des Kammes hin offen ist und daß in jedem Zahn ein sich von der Zahnspitze bis in diu Farbkammer sonkrcecht zum Kammrücken erstreckender schmaler Schlitz vorgesehen ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that the spaced-apart, substantially triangular teeth in plan view taper arrow-shaped towards their tips and the substantially triangular-shaped gaps in plan view accordingly taper towards the ridge and that each tooth in its widened part in near the back of the comb has a color chamber which is open to a side surface of the comb and that in each tooth there is a narrow slot extending from the tooth tip to the color chamber to the back of the comb.

Bei dem neuen Farbauftragskamm verbreitern sich die Zähne zum Zahnrücken hin dreieckförmig, so daß sie in der Nähe des Zahnrückens verhältnismäßig große Farbkammern aufnehmen können. In diese Farbkammern kann dann auch verhältnismäßig viel Farbmasse eingefüllt werden, so daß diese weniger häufig nachgefüllt werden muß. Insbesondere ist immer sichergestellt, daß die in den Farbkammern enthaltene Farbmasse zum vollständigen Einfärben ganzer Haarsträhnen ausreicht. Weiterhin wird durch die dreieckförmigen in größerem Abstand angeordneten Zähne erreicht, daß zwischen den Zähnen dreieckförmige Lücken gebildet werden. die im Bereich der Zähne verhältnismäßig breit sind. Von diesen Lücken werden verhältnismäßig viel Haare erfaßt, die jedoch nicht eingefärbt werden. Lediglich einzelne Haarsträhnen werden von den in jedem Zahn vorgesehenen Schlitzen erfaßt, gelangen dann bei Weiterbewegung des Kammes in den Bereich der Farbkammern, aus denen dann die Farbmasse auf die Strähnen aufgetragen wird. Es wird also immer nur Farbmasse auf einzelne, von den übrigen Haaren klar abgegrenzte Strähnen aufgetragen, während auf den überwiegenden Teil der vom Kamm erfaßten Haare kein Auftrag von Farbmasse erfolgt. Da weiterhin der Kamm mehrere Zähne mit Farbkammern und Schlitzen aufweist, werden beim Hindurchziehen des Kammes durch das Haar gleichzeitig mehrere Strähnen mit Farbmasse versehen. Mittels des neuen Farbauftragkammes ist damit ein rasches Einfärben von dünnen und klar abgegrenzten Haarsträhnen möglich. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.In the new paint application comb, the teeth widen in a triangular shape towards the tooth back so that they can accommodate relatively large ink chambers in the vicinity of the tooth back. A relatively large amount of ink can then be poured into these ink chambers, so that it has to be refilled less frequently. In particular, it is always ensured that the color composition contained in the color chambers is sufficient for the complete coloring of entire strands of hair. Furthermore, the triangular teeth arranged at a greater distance ensure that triangular gaps are formed between the teeth. which are relatively wide in the area of the teeth. A relatively large amount of hair is covered by these gaps, but is not colored. Only individual strands of hair are grasped by the slits provided in each tooth and then move into the area of the ink chambers when the comb moves further, from which the ink mass is then applied to the strands. Color mass is therefore always applied to individual strands which are clearly delimited from the other hairs, while no color mass is applied to the majority of the hair covered by the comb. Furthermore, since the comb has several teeth with color chambers and slots, several strands of color mass are simultaneously provided when the comb is pulled through the hair. With the new paint application comb, it is possible to quickly dye thin and clearly defined strands of hair. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Der Farbauftragskamm 1 weist einen Kammrücken 2 und einen daran anschließenden Kammstil 3 auf. Auf der einen Seite des Kammrückens 2 sind vier oder fünf in größeren Abständen a voneinander ungeordnote, in Draufsicht, wie es Fig. 1 zeigt, im wesentlichen dreieckförmige Zähne 4 angeordnet.The paint application comb 1 has a comb back 2 and an adjoining comb style 3. On one side of the back of the comb 2, four or five teeth 4 are arranged at larger distances a from one another, in a top view, as shown in FIG. 1, essentially triangular.

Jeder dieser vier Zähne 4 verjüngt sich zu seiner Spitze 4a, 4b hin pfeilförmig, bzw. er verbreitert sich zum Zahnrücken 2 hin. Zwischen den Zähnen sind in Draufsicht (Fig. 1) dreieckförmige Lücken 5 vorgesehen, die sich zum Kammrücken 2 hin verjüngen. Der Abstand a von Zahnmitte zu Zahnmitte beträgt dabei etwa 14-16 mm, vorzugsweise 15 mm.Each of these four teeth 4 tapers in the shape of an arrow towards its tip 4a, 4b, or widens towards the back of the tooth 2. Triangular gaps 5 are provided between the teeth in plan view (FIG. 1), which taper towards the comb back 2. The distance a from the center of the tooth to the center of the tooth is approximately 14-16 mm, preferably 15 mm.

Jeder Zahn 4 weist in seinem verbreiterten Teil in der Nähe des Kammrückens 2 eine Farbkammer 6 auf. In jedem der Zähne 4 ist ferner ein sich von der Zahnspitze 4a, 4b bis in die Farbkammer 6 senkrecht zum Kammrücken 2 erstrekkender Schlitz 7 vorgesehen.Each tooth 4 has in its widened part near the back of the comb 2 a color chamber 6. In each of the teeth 4 there is also a slot 7 extending from the tooth tip 4a, 4b into the ink chamber 6 perpendicular to the comb back 2.

Zweckmäßig weisen die Schlitze 7 in Draufsicht gleichbleibende Breiten b von etwa 2 mm auf. Die Breite B der Lücken 5 im Bereich der Zahnspitzen 4a, 4b sollte etwa 6mal so groß sein, wie die Breite b der Schlitze 7.The slots 7 expediently have constant widths b of approximately 2 mm in plan view. The width B of the gaps 5 in the region of the tooth tips 4a, 4b should be approximately 6 times as large as the width b of the slots 7.

Um das Fassungsvermögen der Farbkammern 6 möglichst groß zu machen, sollten sich diese, wie es in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist, von der Nähe des Kammrückens 2 bis in die Nähe der Zahnspitzen 4a, 4b erstrecken.In order to make the capacity of the ink chambers 6 as large as possible, they should, as shown in the drawing, extend from the vicinity of the comb back 2 to the vicinity of the tooth tips 4a, 4b.

Weiterhin ist es zweckmäßig, wenn sich die Farbkammern 6, wie es aus Fig. 3 und 4 ersichtlich ist, von der einen oberen Seitenfläche des Kammes 1 zur anderen unteren Seitenfläche 1b desselben hin im Querschnitt verjüngen. Die Farbkammern 6 erstrecken sich dabei bis in die Nähe der unteren Seitenfläche 1b und laufen dort in die Schlitze 7 aus. Die Schlitze 7 weisen parallele Seitenflächen 7a, 7b auf.It is also expedient if the ink chambers 6, as can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, taper in cross section from one upper side surface of the comb 1 to the other lower side surface 1b thereof. The ink chambers 6 extend into the vicinity of the lower side surface 1b and run out into the slots 7 there. The slots 7 have parallel side surfaces 7a, 7b.

Weiterhin ist es zweckmäßig, wenn sich die Schlitze 7 und auch die Lücken 5 in etwa gleichweit bis zum Kammrücken 2 erstrecken.Furthermore, it is expedient if the slots 7 and also the gaps 5 extend approximately equally far to the comb back 2.

Aus Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, daß der Querschnitt der Zähne 4 zum Zahnrücken 2 hin zunimmt.From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the cross section of the teeth 4 increases towards the tooth back 2.

Die Schlitze 7 in den Zähnen 4 dienen zur Führung der einzufärbenden Haarsträhnen. Damit diese besser von den Schlitzen 7 erfaßt werden, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn jeder Zahn 4 an der einen Seite des Schlitzes 7 etwas länger ist als an der anderen Seite, so daß die Zahnspitze 4a etwas über die Zahnspitze 4b vorsteht.The slots 7 in the teeth 4 serve to guide the strands of hair to be colored. So that these are better grasped by the slots 7, it is expedient if each tooth 4 on one side of the slot 7 is somewhat longer than on the other side, so that the tooth tip 4a protrudes somewhat over the tooth tip 4b.

Vor der Benutzung des Farbauftragkammes 1 zum Einfärben von Haarsträhnen müssen die Farbkammern 6 mit Farbmasse z. B. Blondiermasse, gefüllt werden. Hierbei ist es wichtig, daß die Farbmasse tatsächlich nur in die Farbkammern 6 und nicht auf die obere Seitenfläche 1a des Kammes oder auch in die Lücken 5 gelangt, da sonst auch nicht einzufärbende Haarpartien mit Farbmasse in Berührung kämen und eingefärbt werden würden. Zum Füllen der Farbkammern 6 mit Farbmasse ist deshalb zweckmäßig, eine auf die obere Seitenfläche 1a des Kammes 1 auflegbare Schablone 8 vorgesehen, die Aussparungen 9 aufweist, welche im wesentlichen dem Umriß der Farbkammern 6 entsprechen.Before using the color application comb 1 for coloring strands of hair, the color chambers 6 with color mass z. B. bleaching mass, are filled. It is important that the ink mass actually only gets into the ink chambers 6 and not onto the upper side surface 1a of the comb or into the gaps 5, since otherwise parts of the hair that are not to be colored would come into contact with the color material and would be colored. To fill the ink chambers 6 with ink, it is therefore expedient to provide a template 8 which can be placed on the upper side surface 1a of the comb 1 and which has cutouts 9 which essentially correspond to the outline of the ink chambers 6.

Um eine gute Abdichtung zwischen der Schablone und der oberen Seitenfläche 1b des Kammes zu erreichen, ist jede Farbkammer zweckmäßig von einem über die obere Seitenfläche 1a a vorstehenden Rand 10 umgeben und die Aussparungen 9 der Schablone 8 sind den Umrissen dieser Ränder 10 angepaßt.In order to achieve a good seal between the template and the upper side surface 1b of the comb, each ink chamber is expediently surrounded by an edge 10 projecting over the upper side surface 1aa and the cutouts 9 of the template 8 are adapted to the outlines of these edges 10.

Um auch zu verhindern, daß Farbmasse zwischen die Begrenzungsflächen der Aussparungen 9 und die äußeren Seitenflächen der Ränder 10 eindringt, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Begrenzungsflächen 9a, 9b der Aussparungen 9, wie es in Fig. 6 in vergrößertem Maßstab dargestellt ist, stufenförmig derart ausgebildet sind, daß die Schablone 8 mit einem Teil 9a der stufenförmigen Begrenzungsfläche die Seitenfläche 10a des vorstehenden Randes 10 umfaßt und mit dem anderen Teil 9b ihrer Begrenzungsfläche die Oberseite 10b des vorstehenden Randes 10 überdeckt.In order to also prevent ink mass from penetrating between the boundary surfaces of the recesses 9 and the outer side surfaces of the edges 10, it is expedient if the boundary surfaces 9a, 9b of the recesses 9, as shown in FIG. 6 on an enlarged scale, are of a step-like manner are formed so that the template 8 with a part 9a of the stepped boundary surface comprises the side surface 10a of the projecting edge 10 and with the other part 9b of its boundary surface covers the top 10b of the projecting edge 10.

Damit sich die Schablone 8 möglichst gut an die obere Seitenfläche 1a des Kammes 1 anschmiegt, ist es zweckmäßig, wenn die Schablone 8 der oberen Seitenfläche 1a des Kammes 1 angepaßt ist. Ferner sollte sich die Schablone 8 mit einem Teil 8a auch in dem Bereich des Kammstiles 3 erstrecken. Auch dieses Teil 8a ist dem Kammstiel 3 angepaßt. Legt man die Schablone 8 auf die obere Seitenfläche 1a bzw. den Kammstiel 3 auf, so bleibt sie dank der Anpas- sung von selbst dort liegen, zumal sie durch die in die Aussparungen 9 eingreifenden Ränder 10 gegenüber dem Kamm 1 bzw. dessen Farbkammern 6 zentriert wird. Der den Bereich des Stiles 3 überdeckende Teil 8a der Schablone 8 hat den Vorteil, daß man beim Umfassen des Stieles 3 mit einer Hand gleichzeitig den Kamm 1 und die Schablone 8 halten kann, so daß man die andere Hand zum Auftragen der Farbmasse frei hat.So that the template 8 nestles as well as possible on the upper side surface 1a of the comb 1, it is expedient if the template 8 is adapted to the upper side surface 1a of the comb 1. Furthermore, the template 8 with a part 8a should also extend in the area of the comb style 3. This part 8a is adapted to the comb stem 3. Taking the template 8 on the upper side surface 1a and the comb stem 3, it remains thanks to p as- solution by itself lie there, especially since they by engaging in the recesses 9 of edges 10 relative to the comb 1 or its Ink chambers 6 is centered. The part 8a of the template 8 covering the area of the style 3 has the advantage that when the handle 3 is grasped, the comb 1 and the template 8 can be held simultaneously with one hand, so that the other hand is free to apply the ink.

Ferner ist zweckmäßig am Ende des Kammstieles 3 ein sich in Längsrichtung des Stieles 3 erstreckender Schlitz 11, mit einer am inneren Ende des Schlitzes angeordneten Farbkammer 12 vorgesehen. Die Ausgestaltung des Stielendes 3a, 3b sowie des Schlitzes 11 und der Farbkammer 12 entspricht dabei der Ausgestaltung der Schlitze 7 und der Farbkammern 6 der Zähne 4. Bezüglich näherer Einzelheiten wird deshalb auf obige Beschreibung verwiesen.Furthermore, a slot 11, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the handle 3 and has an ink chamber 12 arranged at the inner end of the slot, is expediently provided at the end of the comb handle 3. The configuration of the stem end 3a, 3b and the slot 11 and the ink chamber 12 corresponds to the configuration of the slots 7 and the ink chambers 6 of the teeth 4. For more details, reference is therefore made to the above description.

Schließlich kann der Kamm 1 an seinem Kammrücken 2 noch weitere Zähne 13 aufweisen, die sich in entgegengesetzter Richtung zu den mit Farbkammern 6 versehenen Zähnen 4 erstrecken und die, wie die Zähne eines üblichen, normalen Kammes, d. h. mit im wesentlichen parallelen Lücken 14, ausgebildet sind.Finally, the comb 1 can have further teeth 13 on its comb back 2, which extend in the opposite direction to the teeth 4 provided with ink chambers 6 and which, like the teeth of a conventional, normal comb, i. H. with substantially parallel gaps 14 are formed.

Die Wirkungsweise des neuen Farbauftragkammes 1 ist folgende:

  • Das Kammteil mit den Zähnen 13 kann zum Ordnen und Auskämmen der Haare wie ein normaler Kamm verwendet werden. Vor dem Einfärben einzelner Haarsträhnen, müssen die Farbkammern 6 mit Farbmasse gefüllt werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird die Schablone 8 auf die obere Seitenfläche 1a aufgelegt, wobei ihre Aussparungen 9 die Ränder 10 der Farbkammern dicht umschließen. Mit einer Hand kann man den Stiel 3 und über das Teil 8a auch die Schablone 8 festhalten. Mit der anderen Hand wird Farbmasse auf die Schablone 8 aufgetragen und dringt dabei in die Farbkammern 6 und z. T. auch in die Schlitze 7 ein. Da jedoch die Schlitze 7 verhältnismäßig schmal sind, verhindern sie, daß die Farbmasse 7 an der Unterseite 1b des Kammes wieder austritt. Nach dem Füllen der Farbkammern 6 wird die Schablone abgenommen und der Kamm durch das geordnete Haar gezogen. Hierbei teilen die Zähne 4 des Kammes das Haar in unterschiedlich breite Strähnen. Die größere Anzahl der Haare tritt in Form von breiten Strähnen in die Lücken 5 ein. Schmale Haarsträhnen werden hingegen durch die Zahnspitzen 4a, 4b in die Schlitze 7 eingezogen. Diese schmalen Haarsträhnen nehmen aus den Farbkammern 6 Farbmasse auf. Da sich die Farbkammern 6 zur Unterseite 1 b der Zähne 4 hin verjüngen, wird die Farbmasse in die dünneren Haarsträhnen einmassiert und überschüssige Farbmasse wieder abgestreift. Die breiteren, in die Lücken 5 eingezogenen Haarsträhnen, kommen mit der Farbmasse nicht in Berührung und bleiben infolgedessen ungefärbt. Beim Hindurchziehen des Farbauftragkammes 1 durch das Haar können in einem Arbeitsgang je nach Anzahl der Zähne 4 oder auch ggf. mehr schmale und genau abgegrenzte Haarsträhnen mit Farbmasse versehen werden.
The new ink application comb 1 works as follows:
  • The comb part with the teeth 13 can be used to organize and comb out the hair like a normal comb. Before coloring individual strands of hair, the ink chambers 6 must be filled with ink. For this purpose, the template 8 is placed on the upper side surface 1a, with its recesses 9 tightly enclosing the edges 10 of the ink chambers. You can hold the handle 3 with one hand and the template 8 via the part 8a. With the other hand, color mas se applied to the template 8 and penetrates into the ink chambers 6 and z. T. also in the slots 7. However, since the slots 7 are relatively narrow, they prevent the ink 7 from exiting at the bottom 1b of the comb. After the ink chambers 6 have been filled, the stencil is removed and the comb is pulled through the ordered hair. The teeth 4 of the comb divide the hair into strands of different widths. The larger number of hair occurs in the form of broad strands in the gaps 5. On the other hand, narrow strands of hair are drawn into the slots 7 through the tooth tips 4a, 4b. These narrow strands of hair take up 6 masses of color from the color chambers. Since the color chambers 6 taper towards the underside 1 b of the teeth 4, the color mass is massaged into the thinner strands of hair and excess color mass is stripped off again. The broader strands of hair drawn into the gaps 5 do not come into contact with the color composition and consequently remain undyed. When the paint application comb 1 is pulled through the hair, depending on the number of teeth, 4 or even more narrow and precisely delimited strands of hair can be provided with coloring material in one operation.

Will man nur einzelne Haarsträhnen einfärben, so verwendet man das Ende des Kammstieles 3. In die Farbkammer 12 wird Farbmasse eingebracht und dann das Stielende durch das Haar gezogen. Hierbei gelangt ebenfalls nur eine schmale Strähne in den Schlitz 11 und auf diese Strähne wird Farbmasse in der oben beschriebenen Weise aufgetragen.If you only want to dye individual strands of hair, use the end of the comb stem 3. Color mass is introduced into the ink chamber 12 and the end of the stem is then pulled through the hair. Here, too, only a narrow strand enters the slot 11 and ink is applied to this strand in the manner described above.
