Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender für haarkosmetische Pro­dukte, insbesondere ein Haarfärbegerät, in der Form eines Kamms oder einer Bürste mit einem hohlen, ein Behandlungsmittel auf­nehmenden Rücken und darin eingesetzten, mit dem flüssigen Be­handlungsmittel versorgten Zinken.The invention relates to a dispenser for hair cosmetic products, in particular a hair dyeing device, in the form of a comb or a brush with a hollow back which holds a treatment agent and tines inserted therein and supplied with the liquid treatment agent.

Ein als Haarfärbegerät ausgebildeter Spender dieser Art wird in der DE-OS 27 49 074 beschrieben. Das bekannte Haarfärbegerät besitzt ein hohles Kammelement, welches aus einem Rohr mit darin etwa radial eingesetzten hohlen Zinken besteht und mit einem ein Haarfärbemittel enthaltenden Behälter verbunden ist. Das Färbe­mittel wird aus dem Behälter mit Hilfe eines Druckerzeugers über ein Druckreduzierventil in das die Zinken aufnehmende Rohr ge­fördert. Da die Menge des zu den Zinken geförderten Behandlungs­mittels vor allem von der Förderleistung des Druckerzeugers am Behälter und weniger von der an das Haar abgegebenen Behand­lungsmittelmenge abhängt, kann es leicht zu einem zu starken oder zu schwachen Behandlungsergebnis kommen. Die Zinken des bekannten Haarfärbegerätes werden von einem Borstenbündel um­geben, dessen Spitzen das jeweilige freie Ende der zugehörigen Zinke überragt und das dazu dient, das abgegebene Behandlungs­mittel gleichmäßig auf dem Haar zu verteilen. Dagegen kann die Zuflußgeschwindigkeit des Behandlungsmittels durch die Borsten­büschel nur unwesentlich beeinflußt werden. Bei Anwendung des bekannten Haarfärbegerätes ist ein Kontakt des Behandlungs­mittels mit der Kopfhaut praktisch unvermeidlich, wenn die Haare bis zur Wurzel gefärbt werden sollen.A dispenser of this type designed as a hair dyeing device is described in DE-OS 27 49 074. The known hair dyeing device has a hollow comb element, which consists of a tube with hollow tines inserted approximately radially therein and is connected to a container containing a hair dye. The coloring agent is conveyed from the container with the help of a pressure generator via a pressure reducing valve into the tube receiving the tines. Since the amount of treatment agent conveyed to the tines depends primarily on the delivery rate of the pressure generator on the container and less on the amount of treatment agent delivered to the hair, the result of the treatment can be too strong or too weak. The tines of the known hair dyeing device are surrounded by a bundle of bristles, the tips of which protrude above the respective free end of the associated tine and which serves to distribute the treatment agent evenly distributed over the hair. In contrast, the flow rate of the treatment agent can be influenced only insignificantly by the tufts of bristles. When using the known hair dyeing device, contact of the treatment agent with the scalp is practically inevitable if the hair is to be dyed to the root.

In einer weiteren, aus dem DE-GM 79 32 856 bekannten, Kammzin­ken aufweisenden Haarfärbevorrichtung wird nahe dem hohlen, ein Behandlungsmittel aufnehmenden Kammrücken zwischen je zwei Zinken eine mit dem Behandlungsmittelreservoir in Verbindung stehende Öffnung vorgesehen, so daß es möglich ist, einzelne Haarsträhnen zwischen den Kammzinken an der Öffnung vorbei zu ziehen und dabei von der Basis bis zur Spitze gleichmäßig mit Behandlungsmittel zu beaufschlagen. Auf diese Weise kann zwar ein Einfärben oder dergleichen der Kopfhaut im wesentlichen vermieden werden, es ist aber sehr zeitaufwendig, größere Teile des Haars oder alle Haare Strähne für Strähne zu behandeln.In a further hair coloring device known from DE-GM 79 32 856, having comb teeth, near the hollow comb-receiving comb between two teeth, an opening communicating with the treatment agent reservoir is provided, so that it is possible to separate individual strands of hair between the Pull comb teeth past the opening and apply treatment agent evenly from the base to the tip. In this way, coloring or the like of the scalp can essentially be avoided, but it is very time-consuming to treat larger parts of the hair or all of the hair strand by strand.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Spender für haarkosmetische Zwecke zu schaffen, bei dem die Zufuhr von flüssigem Behandlungsmittel im wesentlichen unmittelbar von der an das Haar abgegebenen Behandlungsmittelmenge abhängt. Eine weitere Aufgabe besteht darin, den Spender so zu konstruieren, daß es bei normaler Handhabung gelingt, die jeweiligen Produkte auf das Haar aufzubringen, ohne die Kopfhaut zu beeinflußen.The invention has for its object to provide a dispenser for hair cosmetic purposes, in which the supply of liquid treatment agent depends essentially directly on the amount of treatment agent delivered to the hair. Another task is to design the dispenser so that, with normal handling, it is possible to apply the respective products to the hair without affecting the scalp.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung besteht für den Spender eingangs genannter Art mit einem hohlen, ein flüssiges Behandlungsmittel aufnehmenden Rücken und darin eingesetzten Zinken darin, daß die Zinken aus saugfähigem Material großer innerer und äußerer Oberfläche, z. B. verfestigtem Fasermaterial oder porösem Poly­mermaterial bestehen und daß dieses saugfähige Material mit in dem Rücken befindlichem Behandlungsmittel in Kapillarleitverbin­dung steht. In dem Rücken kann ebenfalls ein mehr oder weniger verdichtetes Fasermaterial oder ein anderes poröses Material als Füllmaterial vorhanden sein.The solution according to the invention consists for the dispenser of the type mentioned with a hollow, a liquid treatment agent receiving back and tines inserted therein that the prongs made of absorbent material have a large inner and outer surface, for. B. solidified fiber material or porous polymer material and that this absorbent material is in the back with treatment agent in capillary connection. A more or less compressed fiber material or another porous material can also be present in the back as filler material.

Durch die Erfindung wird ein Spender für haarkosmetische Produkte in Form eines Kamms oder einer Bürste geschaffen, dessen Zinken bzw. Borsten nach dem Prinzip von Faserfarbstif­ten Behandlungsmittel in dem Maße abgeben, in dem es von der behandelten Fläche der Summe der einzelnen behandelten Haare abgenommen wird. Das flüssige kosmetische Haarbehandlungsmittel kann dabei z. B. ein Konditioniermittel, ein Festigungsmittel, ein Verformungsmittel, ein Bleichmittel, ein Haartönungsmittel oder ein Haarfärbemittel sein. Mit einem Faserfarbstift kann an sich ein homogener Farbauftrag im Haar nicht erzeugt werden. Überraschen­derweise gelingt es aber durch einen Aufbau nach Art einer Parallelschaltung einer größeren Anzahl von Faserfarbstiften in Form eines Kamms oder einer Bürste das Kopfhaar homogen mit Behandlungsprodukt, z. B. Haarfarbe, zu beaufschlagen.The invention provides a dispenser for hair cosmetic products in the form of a comb or a brush, its tines or bristles release treatment agents according to the principle of fiber colored pencils to the extent that it is removed from the treated area of the sum of the individual treated hairs. The liquid cosmetic hair treatment agent can, for. B. a conditioning agent, a setting agent, a shaping agent, a bleaching agent, a hair tinting agent or a hair coloring agent. With a fiber colored pencil, a homogeneous color application cannot be created in the hair. Surprisingly, however, a structure in the manner of a parallel connection of a large number of fiber colored pencils in the form of a comb or a brush makes the scalp hair homogeneous with the treatment product, for example. B. hair color to act.

Da die Haarfarbe aus der Gesamtoberfläche der Zinken durch Kapillarkräfte abgezogen wird, ist an sich ein Auftrag des Be­handlungsmittels auf die Kopfhaut nicht zu vermeiden, wenn die Zinken bzw. Faserspitzen die Kopfhaut streifen. Gemäß weiterer Erfindung kann auch dieses Problem überwunden werden, wenn an dem Spender Distanzhalter vorgesehen werden, die ein Inbe­rührungbringen der freien Enden der Zinken mit Haarbasis bzw. Kopfhaut ausschließen. Vorzugsweise werden die Distanzhalter als im wesentlichen parallel zu den Zinken im Rücken gelagerte, die freien Enden der Zinken überragende Distanzstifte ausgebildet. Die Distanzstifte können zwischen und mit Abstand von den Zinken angeordnet werden, sie können aber auch in einzelnen, vielen oder allen Zinken integriert sein. Die Distanzhalter sollen die freien Zinken- bzw. Faserenden um so viel überragen, daß beim Streichen des Spenders durch das Haar ein Berühren der Kopfhaut durch die das Behandlungsmittel übertragenden Faser­enden an den Zinkenspitzen gerade vermieden wird. In diesem Sinne soll die Längendifferenz aber so klein wie möglich sein, damit die einzelnen Haare bis möglichst nahe an die Kopfhaut heran mit dem Behandlungsmittel beaufschlagt werden können.Since the hair color is removed from the entire surface of the tines by capillary forces, application of the treatment agent to the scalp cannot be avoided per se when the tines or fiber tips brush the scalp. According to a further invention, this problem can also be overcome if spacers are provided on the dispenser which prevent the free ends of the tines from coming into contact with the hair base or scalp. The spacers are preferably designed as spacer pins which are mounted essentially parallel to the tines in the back and protrude beyond the free ends of the tines. The spacer pins can be arranged between and at a distance from the tines, but they can also be integrated in individual, many or all tines. The spacers should protrude the free tine or fiber ends so much that touching the scalp by the fiber ends transmitting the treatment agent at the tip of the tines is just avoided when the donor is brushed through the hair. In this sense, the difference in length should be as small as possible, so that the individual hairs as close as possible to the scalp can be treated with the treatment agent.

Der Kamm- bzw. Bürstenrücken oder -stiel können zur auswechsel­baren Patrone ausgebildet sein, welche das Haarkosmetikum enthal­ten. Der erfindungsgemäße Spender kann einteilig hergestellt sein.The comb or brush back or handle can be designed to be a replaceable cartridge which contains the hair cosmetic. The dispenser according to the invention can be made in one piece.

Schließlich kann es vorteilhaft sein, zwei parallel an einem Stiel befestigte Kamm- bzw. Bürstenrücken, welche unterschiedliche Behandlungsmittel enthalten können, vorzusehen.Finally, it can be advantageous to provide two comb or brush backs which are fastened in parallel on a handle and which can contain different treatment agents.

Anhand der schematischen Zeichnung eines Ausführungsbeispiels werden weitere Einzelheiten der Erfindung erläutert. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Spenderbürste im Schnitt parallel zu dessen Zin­ken;
  • Fig. 2 die Spenderbürste gemäß Fig. 1 im Schnitt längs der Linie II - II;
  • Fig. 3 eine Spenderbürste mit zwei parallelen Füllfaser­materialkammern für verschiedene Behandlungsmittel;
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt durch die Spenderbürste gemäß Fig. 3 längs der Linie IV - IV;
  • Fig. 5 eine vergrößerte Darstellung eines Zinkens.
Further details of the invention are explained on the basis of the schematic drawing of an exemplary embodiment. Show it:
  • Figure 1 is a donor brush in section parallel to its tines.
  • FIG. 2 shows the donor brush according to FIG. 1 in section along the line II - II;
  • 3 shows a donor brush with two parallel filler material chambers for different treatment agents;
  • 4 shows a section through the donor brush according to FIG. 3 along the line IV-IV;
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a tine.

Der Spender für haarkosmetische Produkte nach Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 besitzt im wesentlichen die Form einer Stielbürste.The dispenser for hair cosmetic products according to FIGS. 1 and 3 essentially has the shape of a stick brush.

Die Stielbürste nach Fig. 1 besteht aus einem hohlen Rücken 1 mit daran anschließendem hohlen Stiel 2. In den Rücken 1 werden zu dessen hohlem Innnraum Zinken 3 angesetzt. Die Zinken 3 be­ stehen aus Material großer innerer und äußerer Oberfläche, z. B. verfestigtem Fasermaterial 5. Dieses Fasermaterial 5 steht mit in dem Kammrücken 1 befindlichen, das Behandlungsmittel aufneh­mendem Füllfasermaterial 6 in Kapillarleitverbindung. Das Füll­fasermaterial 6 kann auch den gegebenenfalls hohlen Stiel 2 aus­füllen, so daß auch der Stiel zur Größe des Reservoirs an Be­handlungsmittel beiträgt.1 consists of a hollow back 1 with an adjoining hollow handle 2. In the back 1, tines 3 are attached to its hollow interior. The tines 3 be are made of material with a large inner and outer surface, e.g. B. solidified fiber material 5. This fiber material 5 is in the comb back 1, the treatment agent receiving filler material 6 in capillary connection. The filling fiber material 6 can also fill the optionally hollow stem 2, so that the stem also contributes to the size of the reservoir of treatment agent.

Mit dem Begriff "Kapillarleitverbindung" wird ausgedrückt, daß von den freien Faserenden 4 (siehe Fig. 2) längs des Füllfaser­materials 5 der Zinken 3 bis zum hohlen Innenraum des Rückens 1 durchgehende Kapillaren - bei Auffüllung mit Behandlungsmittel - ­entstehen sollen, die einen Behandlungsmittelfluß aus dem Rücken 1 durch die Zinken 3 zum freien Ende 4 mit der Geschwindigkeit sicherstellen, mit der das Behandlungsmittel von der zu beauf­schlagenden Haarfläche abgenommen wird.The term "capillary lead connection" means that from the free fiber ends 4 (see FIG. 2) along the filler fiber material 5 of the tines 3 to the hollow interior of the back 1, continuous capillaries are to be created - when filled with treatment agent - which cause a treatment agent flow ensure the back 1 through the tines 3 to the free end 4 at the speed at which the treatment agent is removed from the area of hair to be acted upon.

Um zu erreichen, daß bei Anwendung die freien Faserenden 4 nicht mit der Haarbasis bzw. der Kopfhaut in Berührung kommen und Behandlungsmittel unmittelbar auf der Kopfhaut verteilen, kann es zweckmäßig sein, im Bereich zwischen jeweils zwei Zinken 3 Di­stanzhalter in Form von Distanzstiften 7 vorzusehen, die die freien Faserenden 4 - in Bezug auf den Rücken 1 - überragen und dadurch einen Kontakt der freien Faserenden 4 der Zinken 3 unmittelbar mit der Kopfhaut verhindert.In order to ensure that the free fiber ends 4 do not come into contact with the hair base or the scalp and distribute treatment agents directly on the scalp during use, it may be expedient to provide 3 spacers in the form of spacer pins 7 in the area between two prongs in each case, which protrude beyond the free fiber ends 4 - in relation to the back 1 - and thereby prevent contact of the free fiber ends 4 of the tines 3 directly with the scalp.

Der als Bürste ausgebildete Spender nach Fig. 3 besitzt Borsten, die im Prinzip ebenso wie die Zinken 3 nach Fig. 1 ausgebildet sind und daher mit derselben Bezugsziffer bezeichnet werden. In ähnlicher Weise werden Rücken, Stiel, Fasermaterial und Füll­fasermaterial mit denselben Bezugsziffern wie in Fig. 1 gekenn­zeichnet. Grundsätzlich könnten auch bei der Bürste nach Fig. 3 die Distanzstifte 7 zwischen und mit Abstand von den Borsten 3 im Rücken 1 verankert werden. Im Ausführungsbeispiel werden jedoch Distanzstücke 8 vorgesehen, die auf den freien Enden der Borsten befestigt sind. Selbstverständlich können auch bei der Bürste nach Fig. 1 innerhalb der Zinken 3 angeordnete Distanz­stifte vorgesehen werden. Diese Anordnung hat den Vorteil, daß der Längenunterschied von Langfasern und Distanzstift minimal sein kann, weil auch beim Aufdrücken und Biegen der freien Faserenden 4 die Distanzstifte 8 mitgebogen und daher ein Kon­takt der Kopfhaut durch die Faserspitzen in einem weiten Schwenkbereich des letzteren ausgeschlossen wird.The dispenser designed as a brush according to FIG. 3 has bristles which, in principle, are designed like the prongs 3 according to FIG. 1 and are therefore designated by the same reference number. In a similar manner, the back, stem, fiber material and filler material are identified with the same reference numbers as in FIG. 1. 3, the spacer pins 7 could also be between and at a distance from the bristles 3 be anchored in the back 1. In the exemplary embodiment, however, spacers 8 are provided, which are attached to the free ends of the bristles. Of course, spacer pins arranged inside the prongs 3 can also be provided in the brush according to FIG. 1. This arrangement has the advantage that the difference in length of long fibers and spacer pin can be minimal, because even when the free fiber ends 4 are pressed on and bent, the spacer pins 8 are also bent, and therefore contact of the scalp by the fiber tips in a wide pivoting range of the latter is excluded.

Der Spender nach Fig. 3 besitzt zwei parallele Rücken 1 zur Auf­nahme unterschiedlicher Behandlungsmittel. Die Behandlungsmittel können in auswechselbaren Patronen enthalten sein.3 has two parallel backs 1 for receiving different treatment agents. The treatment agents can be contained in exchangeable cartridges.
