Abstract

1. Hair brush with bristles of synthetic material, characterized by the build-up of the bristle complement (3) from bristles (5) charging the hair negatively during brushing and bristles (4) charging the hair positively during brushing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Haarbürste mit Kunststoffborsten.The invention relates to a hairbrush with plastic bristles.

Beim Bürsten der Haare mit einer Frisierbürste mit Kunststoffborsten werden Haare und Bürste, insbesondere bei Trockenheit, in der Regel elektrostatisch aufgeladen. Dadurch wird die Frisierbarkeit des Haares beeinträchtigt.When brushing the hair with a styling brush with plastic bristles, the hair and brush are usually charged electrostatically, especially when it is dry. This affects the hair's stylability.

Die elektrostatische Aufladung des Haars beim Bürsten entsteht durch Reibungselektrizität (triboelektrischer Effekt) an der Grenzfläche zwischen den Borsten der Bürste und dem Haar. Wegen der isolierenden Eigenschaften von Borsten und Haar können die getrennten Ladungen nicht abfließen und führen zu Ladungsansammlungen entgegengesetzter Polarität auf Haar und Borsten. Es läßt sich hierzu eine Spannungsreihe derart aufstellen, daß bei Reibung bzw. Kontakt mit dem in der Reihe folgenden Stoff eine positive Aufladung und bei Reibung bzw. Kontakt mit dem vorangehenden eine negative Aufladung stattfinder. Nach dem Coehnschen Aufladungsgesetz gilt hierzun für Isolatoren, daß sich der Stoff mit der größeren Dielektrizitätskonstante positiv auflädt.The electrostatic charging of the hair when brushing arises from frictional electricity (triboelectric effect) at the interface between the bristles of the brush and the hair. Because of the insulating properties of bristles and hair, the separated charges cannot flow away and lead to charge accumulations of opposite polarity on hair and bristles. For this purpose, a series of voltages can be set up in such a way that a positive charge occurs when there is friction or contact with the substance following in the series and a negative charge occurs when there is friction or contact with the preceding substance. According to Coehn's law on charging, it applies to insulators that the substance with the higher dielectric constant charges positively.

Auch wenn einer der gegeneinander geriebenen Stoffe ein Leiter ist, z.B. bei Verwendung einer Bürste mit Metallborsten oder mit Metall beschichteten Kunststoffborsten, kann eine Aufladung des anderen Stoffes nicht vollständig verhindert werden, weil die durch den Kontakt getrennten Ladungen zumindest zum Teil auf dem Isolator verbleiben. Insbesondere bei trockener Luft (und trockenem Haar) kann daher auch bei Verwendung einer Frisierbürste mit leitenden Borsten eine individuell mehr oder weniger starke, in jedem Fall aber nicht vorhersehbare elektrostatische Aufladung des Haars nicht vermieden werden.Even if one of the materials rubbed against one another is a conductor, for example when using a brush with metal bristles or plastic bristles coated with metal, charging of the other material cannot be prevented completely because the separated by the contact Charges remain at least in part on the insulator. Especially in dry air (and dry hair), an individually more or less strong, but in any case unforeseeable electrostatic charging of the hair cannot be avoided even when using a hairdressing brush with conductive bristles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Frisierbürste mit vorgegebenem elektrostatischen Aufladeverhalten zu schaffen, bei deren Verwendung das Haar also in bestimmter Weise, insbesondere aber gar nicht bzw. nicht merklich oder störend elektrostatisch aufgeladen wird. Bei der Haarbürste eingangs genannter Art ist die erfindungsgemäße Lösung gekennzeichnet durch den Aufbau des Borstenoesatzes aus das Haar beim Bürsten negativ aufladenden Borsten und das Haar beim Bürsten positiv aufladenden Borsten.The invention has for its object to provide a hairdressing brush with a predetermined electrostatic charging behavior, so when used, the hair is electrostatically charged in a certain way, in particular but not at all or not noticeably or disruptively. In the case of the hairbrush of the type mentioned at the outset, the solution according to the invention is characterized by the structure of the bristle set consisting of bristles negatively charging the hair when brushing and bristles positively charging the hair when brushing.

Erfindungsgemäß wird also die Borste mit Borsten aus Materialien bestückt, von denen das eine in der eingangs erwähnten Spannungsreihe vor dem Haar und das andere in der Spannungsreihe nach dem Haar steht. Die Erfindung läßt sich unter Anwendung des Coehnschen Aufladungsgesetzes auch so beschreiben, daß die Bürste mit mindestens zwei verschiedenen isolierenden Borstentypen zu besetzen ist, wobei das Material des einen Borstentyps eine niedrigere Dielektrizitätskonstante als normales Haar und das Material des anderen Borstentyps eine höhere Dielektrizitätskonstante als normales Haar besitzen soll.According to the invention, the bristle is thus equipped with bristles made of materials, one of which is in front of the hair in the series of stresses mentioned at the beginning and the other in the series of tension after the hair. The invention can also be described using Coehn's law of charging that the brush is to be covered with at least two different types of insulating bristles, the material of one type of bristle having a lower dielectric constant than normal hair and the material of the other type of bristle having a higher dielectric constant than normal hair should own.

Durch Verwendung zweier Kunststoffe, die, für sich allein genommen, das Haar beim Bürsten etwa gleich stark, jedoch mit unterschiedlicher Polarität, aufladen, wird erreicht, daß bei Anwendung der Bürste die normalerweise beim Bürsten auftretende elektrostatische Beladung der Haare selbsttätig neutralisiert wird. Durch Auswahl der Einzelmaterialien, Zahlenverhältnisse und/oder räumlichen Verteilungen der beiden Borstentypen gelingt es auch, eine bestimmte Aufladung vorzugeben. Vorzugsweise sollen jedoch das Zahlenverhältnis und/oder die räumliche Verteilung der beiden Borstentypen im Sinne eines gegenseitigen Neutralisierens der von den Borsten auf dem Haar erzeugten Ladung ausgewählt werden. Material, Zahl und räumliche Verteilung der Borsten lassen sich so auswählen, daß mit der erfindungsgemäßen Bürste frisiertes Haar eine bestimmte oder praktisch gar keine resultierende elektrostatische Aufladung besitzt. Anhand der schematischen Darstellung des Ausführungsbeispiels werden weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung erläutert.By using two plastics that, taken on their own, charge the hair when brushing about the same strength, but with different polarity, it is achieved that when using the brush that normally the electrostatic load on the hair that occurs when brushing is automatically neutralized. By selecting the individual materials, numerical ratios and / or spatial distributions of the two bristle types, it is also possible to specify a specific charge. However, the numerical ratio and / or the spatial distribution of the two types of bristles should preferably be selected in order to mutually neutralize the charge generated by the bristles on the hair. The material, number and spatial distribution of the bristles can be selected so that the brushed hair according to the invention has a certain or practically no resulting electrostatic charge. Further details of the invention are explained on the basis of the schematic representation of the exemplary embodiment.

Die Bürste gemäß Zeichnung besteht aus Stiel 1, Rücken 2 und Borstenbesatz 3. Erfindungsgemäß wird der Borstenbesatz einzeln oder büschelweise aus Borsten 4 (+) und Borsten 5 (-) zusammengesetzt, deren Material so ausgewählt ist, daß das Haar beim Bürsten positiv bzw. negativ elektrostatisch beladen wird. Die unterschiedlichen Ma- terialtypen werden bei einigen Borsten durch an der Spitze in einem Kreis gezeichnete Plus- bzw. Minuszeichen symbolisiert.The brush according to the drawing consists of handle 1, back 2 and bristle trim 3. According to the invention, the bristle trim is composed individually or in tufts of bristles 4 (+) and bristles 5 (-), the material of which is selected so that the hair is positive when brushed or is negatively charged electrostatically. With some bristles, the different types of material are symbolized by plus or minus signs drawn in a circle at the tip.

Die Materialien der beiden Borstentypen können aus der vorgenannten Spannungsreihe so ausgewählt werden, daß der Borstenbesatz 3 insgesamt bei Anwendung in der Regel keine resultierende Aufladung des Haars ergibt. In einem besonders günstigen Ausführungsbeispiel besteht der Borstentyp 4 aus Polyamid, insbesondere aus Nylon, und der Borstentyp 5 aus Polyäthylen oder aus Acryl-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymer. Ein besonders geeignetes Materialpaar wird durch Nylon und das von der BASF AG, Ludwigshafen, unter dem Markenzeichen Lupolen gelieferte Polymer gebildet.The materials of the two types of bristles can be selected from the above-mentioned series of voltages so that the bristle trimmings 3 generally do not result in any resulting charging of the hair when used. In a particularly favorable embodiment, the bristle type 4 consists of polyamide, in particular of nylon, and the bristle type 5 consists of polyethylene or an acrylic-butadiene-styrene copolymer. A particularly suitable pair of materials is formed by nylon and the polymer supplied by BASF AG, Ludwigshafen, under the Lupolen trademark.
