Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Handhaben von Flüssigkeit für die Behandlung der Haare, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for handling liquid for the treatment of hair, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine solche bekannte Vorrichtung (DE - A1 - 3 604 811) weist eine von einem Elektromotor angetriebene Pumpe für die Flüssigkeit, ein Gehäuse, in dem mindestens die Pumpe und der Elektromotor angebracht sind, ein mit der Förderseite der Pumpe verbundenes Mundstück mit einer Kupplung, mit dem Mundstück wahlweise auswechselbar verbindbare Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgane und einen mit der Saugseite der Pumpe verbundenen, flexiblen Ansaugschlauch auf, wobei das Pumpengehäuse etwa am Rand eines Waschbeckens oder dergleichen angebracht ist.Such a known device (DE - A1 - 3 604 811) has a pump for the liquid driven by an electric motor, a housing in which at least the pump and the electric motor are mounted, a mouthpiece with a coupling connected to the delivery side of the pump, with the mouthpiece optionally exchangeable connectable liquid outlet organs and a flexible suction hose connected to the suction side of the pump, the pump housing being attached approximately at the edge of a wash basin or the like.

Diese bekannte Vorrichtung hat sich zwar in der Praxis bewährt, es hat sich jedoch herausgestellt, daß bei bestimmten Anwendungen die Handhabung der Vorrichtung etwas umständlich ist und eine zweihändige Bedienung erfordert. Weiterhin hat es sich als wünschenswert herausgestellt, der Vorrichtung weitere Anwendungsgebiete zugänglich zu machen.Although this known device has proven itself in practice, it has been found that the handling of the device is somewhat cumbersome in certain applications and requires two-handed operation. Furthermore, it has turned out to be desirable to make the device accessible to further areas of application.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs genannte, bekannte Vorrichtung dahingehend weiterzubilden, daß bei allen Anwendungen der Vorrichtung eine einfache, vorzugsweise einhändige Bedienung ermöglicht wird und daß zugleich die Vorrichtung für weitere, neue Anwendungen einsetzbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing the known device mentioned at the outset such that simple, preferably one-handed operation is made possible in all applications of the device and that the device can also be used for further, new applications.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß eine Bedienungsperson die Vorrichtung einhändig bedienen kann, so daß die andere Hand ständig für gleichzeitig erforderliche Arbeiten, wie z. B. mit einem Kamm oder dergleichen, freibleibt. Da die Pumpe der Vorrichtung unmittelbar im Arbeitsbereich angeordnet ist, wird eine schnelle und unkomplizierte Betätigung der Vorrichtung ermöglicht. Ein eigenes Absperrorgan für das Mundstück ist nicht mehr erforderlich. so daß die Vorrichtung insgesamt kompakter und kostengünstiger wird. Wegen der geringen erforderlichen Leistung kann die Vorrichtung sehr klein und leicht ausgeführt sein, so daß deren Handhabung für die Bedienungsperson keinerlei körperliche Bdelastung darstellt.This ensures that an operator can operate the device with one hand, so that the other hand constantly for simultaneously required work such. B. with a comb or the like, remains free. Since the pump of the device is arranged directly in the work area, the device can be actuated quickly and easily. A separate shut-off device for the mouthpiece is no longer required. so that the device as a whole is more compact and less expensive. Because of the low power required, the device can be made very small and light, so that its handling does not represent any physical strain on the operator.

Es ist zwar bereits eine Vorrichtung mit einer Pumpe bekannt, die den Handgriff einer Bürste bildet (DE - A1 - 3 024 189), aber diese Vorrichtung dient zum Auftragen von Holzschutzmitteln, Lasuren, Lacken und sonstigen Lösungsmitteln, die Pumpe ist offensichtlich als von der Hand angetriebene Pumpe ausgebildet und muß somit zu ihrer Betätigung ergriffen werden, und als Lackvorratsbehälter dient ein handelsüblicher Behälter, der in der Regel nicht geeignet sein dürfte, seinerseits das Gewicht Pumpe zu tragen, ohne Gefahr zu laufen, umzukippen.Although a device with a pump is already known which forms the handle of a brush (DE - A1 - 3 024 189), this device is used for applying wood preservatives, glazes, lacquers and other solvents, the pump is obviously different from the Hand-operated pump designed and must therefore be taken to operate, and serves as a paint reservoir, a commercially available container, which should not usually be suitable to bear the weight of the pump, without running the risk of tipping over.

Bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, daß in dem Gehäuse eine Drehzahlregelungseinrichtung für den Motor der Pumpe mit einem gehäuseaußenseitigen, eine Drehzahlveränderung des Motors durch die das Gehäuse haltende Hand erlaubenden Betätigungsorgan angeordnet ist. Hierbei wird auf einfache Art und Weise eine Änderung der Pumpenleistung und damit eine Einstellung der geförderten Flüssigkeitsmenge ermöglicht. Da die Vorrichtung mit derselben Hand gehalten und gesteuert wird, ist ein sehr schnelles Reagieren der Bedienungsperson der Vorrichtung auf die jeweiligen Erfordernisse, z. B. bei der Haarbehandlung unterschiedlicher Kopfpartien, möglich. Hierdurch werden sowohl die Arbeitsbedingungen für die Bedienungsperson als auch das Arbeitsergebnis verbessert.It is preferably provided that a speed control device for the motor of the pump is arranged in the housing with an actuator on the outside of the housing which permits a change in speed of the motor by the actuating member holding the housing. In this way, a change in the pump output and thus an adjustment of the amount of liquid delivered is made possible in a simple manner. Since the device is held and controlled with the same hand, the operator of the device can react very quickly to the respective requirements, e.g. B. in the hair treatment of different head areas, possible. As a result, both the working conditions for the operator and that Work result improved.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale und Ausgestaltungen der Vorrichtung gemäß Erfindung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen 3 bis 7 hervor.Further advantageous features and refinements of the device according to the invention emerge from subclaims 3 to 7.

Wie die Figur 1 zeigt, besteht das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel der Vorrichtung 100 von außen betrachtet im wesentlichen aus einem Gehäuse 6, in welches an dem einen Ende ein flexibler Ansaugschlauch 30 mündet und an dessen anderem Ende ein Mundstück 4 zur Bildung eines Flüssigkeitsauslasses angeordnet ist. Im Inneren des Gehäuses 6 sind, wie durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet, eine Anzahl von Funktionselementen angeordnet. Hier ist zunächst eine Pumpe 1 zu nennen, welche im hinteren Teil des Gehäuses 6, unmittelbar im Anschluß an den Ansaugschlauch 30, angeordnet ist. Über eine in das Gehäuse 6 integrierte Förderleitung 1ʹ ist die Pumpe förderseitig mit dem Mundstück 4 verbunden. Angetrieben wird die Pumpe 1 durch einen Elektromotor 5, welcher unmittelbar neben der Pumpe 1 im Gehäuse 6 angeordnet ist. Die Energieversorgung des Motors 5 erfolgt im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Akkumulator 7, der einen netzunabhängigen Betrieb der Vorrichtung 100 gestattet. Dem Akkumulator 7 und dem Motor 5 ist eine Drehzahlregelungseinrichtung 17 zugeordnet, welche eine vorzugsweise stufenlose Veränderung der Drehzahl des Motors 5 mittels eines aus dem Gehäuse 5 vorragenden Rändelrades 35 erlaubt. Die Drehzahlregelungseinrichtung 17 ist dabei vorzugsweise ein elektronischer Drehzahlregler, um Energieverluste möglichst klein und damit die Betriebsdauer der Vorrichtung mit einer Akkumulatorladung möglichst lang zu halten. Außer durch das dargestellte Rändelrad 35 zur Verstellung eines Potentiometers kann die Drehzahlregelung beispielsweise auch mittels eines Schiebereglers erfolgen.As shown in FIG. 1, the exemplary embodiment of the device 100, viewed from the outside, essentially consists of a housing 6, into which a flexible suction hose 30 opens at one end and a mouthpiece 4 is arranged at the other end to form a liquid outlet. A number of functional elements are arranged in the interior of the housing 6, as indicated by dashed lines. A pump 1 is to be mentioned here first, which is arranged in the rear part of the housing 6, immediately following the suction hose 30. The pump is connected to the mouthpiece 4 on the delivery side via a delivery line 1ʹ integrated in the housing 6. The pump 1 is driven by an electric motor 5, which is arranged directly next to the pump 1 in the housing 6 is. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the motor 5 is supplied with energy by an accumulator 7, which allows the device 100 to be operated independently of the mains. The accumulator 7 and the motor 5 are assigned a speed control device 17, which allows a preferably infinitely variable change in the speed of the motor 5 by means of a knurled wheel 35 protruding from the housing 5. The speed control device 17 is preferably an electronic speed controller in order to keep energy losses as small as possible and thus keep the operating time of the device with a battery charge as long as possible. In addition to the knurled wheel 35 shown for adjusting a potentiometer, the speed can also be regulated, for example, by means of a slider.

Das Gehäuse 6 der Vorrichtung 100 hat vorzugsweise eine längliche, im wesentlichen zylindrische Form mit einem Durchmesser, der es erlaubt, die Vorrichtung 100 problemlos in einer Hand zu halten. Zugleich kann beispielsweise mit dem Daumen der die Vorrichtung 100 haltenden Hand das Rändelrad 35 zur Drehzahlregelung des Motors 5 und damit zur Einstellung der Förderleistung der Pumpe 1 betätigt werden.The housing 6 of the device 100 preferably has an elongated, substantially cylindrical shape with a diameter that allows the device 100 to be easily held in one hand. At the same time, for example with the thumb of the hand holding the device 100, the knurled wheel 35 can be actuated to regulate the speed of the motor 5 and thus to adjust the delivery rate of the pump 1.

Wie weiter aus der Figur 1 der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist, ist das Ansaugende 30' des Ansaugschlauches 30 in ein mit einer Wirkflüssigkeit 28 gefülltes Waschbecken 10 geführt. Zur Vermeidung eines Ansaugens von Fremdkörpern oder dergleichen ist auf das Ansaugende 30ʹ des Schlauches 30 ein Filterkörper 31 aufgesetzt. Zur Festlegung des Schlauches 30 bzw. seines Ansaugendes 30' am bzw. im Waschbecken 10 ist am Schlauch 30 eine Klemmvorrichtung 9' angeordnet, welche auf den Rand 11 des Waschbeckens 10 im Klemmsitz aufsteckbar ist.As can further be seen from FIG. 1 of the drawing, the suction end 30 ′ of the suction hose 30 is guided into a wash basin 10 filled with an active liquid 28. To avoid foreign objects or the like being sucked in, a filter body 31 is placed on the suction end 30 ′ of the hose 30. To fix the hose 30 or its suction end 30 'on or in the wash basin 10, a clamping device 9' is arranged on the hose 30, which can be plugged onto the edge 11 of the wash basin 10 in a press fit.

Gemäß Erfindung gehören zur Vorrichtung 100 auswechselbar mit dieser verbindbare Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgane. Hierzu ist das Mundstück 4 am Gehäuse 6 der Vorrichtung 100 mit einer Kupplung in Form eines Konus 3 ausgestattet. Ein erstes Beispiel eines Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgans zeigt die Figur 2 der Zeichnung. In der Figur ist ein für Massagezwecke geeignetes Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgan 47 sowie ein Teil des Gehäuses 6 der Vorrichtung 100 mit dem Mundstück 4 im Schnitt dargestellt. Dabei sind das Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgan 47 und das Mundstück 4 mittels der Konus-Kupplung 3 miteinander dichtend verbunden. Das Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgan 47 weist ein Gehäuse 48 auf, dessen Inneres im wesentlichen hohl ist und einen Durchfluß der Flüssigkeit, die von der Pumpe 5 herbeigefördert wird, erlaubt. Am freien Ende des Organs 47 ist ein in axialer Richtung verschieblich gelagerter Massagekopf 49, 52 angeordnet. Der Kopf 49, 52 sowie das Gehäuse 48 sind gegeneinander durch eine zwischenliegende Dichtung 54 abgedichtet. Vom vorderen Teil 52 des Massagekopfes erstreckt sich ein Stempel 49 mit einer endseitigen Dichtplatte 50 in das Innere des Gehäuses 48 hinein. Gegenüber der Platte 50 weist das Gehäuse 48 einen entsprechend geformten Dichtsitz 50ʹ auf, wodurch ein Ventil für die Flüssigkeit gebildet wird. Der Massagekopf 49, 52 ist durch eine Feder 51 in Schließrichtung der Dichtplatte 50 vorbelastet. Zur Abstützung der Feder 51 am dichtplattenabgewandten Ende dient eine Zwischenwand 48', die im Inneren des Gehäuses 48 angeordnet ist und die Perforationen für einen Durchlaß der Flüssigkeit aufweist. Ebenso weist der äußere Teil 52 des Massagekopfes 49, 52 Perforatioen 53 auf, welche einen Austritt der geförderten Flüssigkeit aus dem Inneren des Gehäuses 48 nach außen hin erlauben. Bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der äußere Teil 52 des Massagekopfes 49, 52 als elastische Auflage ausgebildet. Selbstverständlich können hier auch Materialien mit anderen Eigenschaften eingesetzt werden.According to the invention, the device 100 includes interchangeable liquid outlet members. For this purpose, the mouthpiece 4 on the housing 6 of the device 100 is equipped with a coupling in the form of a cone 3. A first example of a liquid outlet member is shown in FIG. 2 of the drawing. In the figure, a liquid outlet member 47 suitable for massage purposes and part of the housing 6 of the device 100 with the mouthpiece 4 are shown in section. The liquid outlet member 47 and the mouthpiece 4 are sealingly connected to one another by means of the cone coupling 3. The liquid outlet member 47 has a housing 48, the interior of which is essentially hollow and allows a flow of the liquid which is brought in by the pump 5. At the free end of the organ 47, a massage head 49, 52 which is displaceable in the axial direction is arranged. The head 49, 52 and the housing 48 are sealed off from one another by an intermediate seal 54. A stamp 49 with an end sealing plate 50 extends from the front part 52 of the massage head into the interior of the housing 48. Compared to the plate 50, the housing 48 has a correspondingly shaped sealing seat 50ʹ, whereby a valve for the liquid is formed. The massage head 49, 52 is preloaded by a spring 51 in the closing direction of the sealing plate 50. An intermediate wall 48 ′, which is arranged in the interior of the housing 48 and has perforations for a passage of the liquid, serves to support the spring 51 at the end facing away from the sealing plate. Likewise, the outer part 52 of the massage head 49, 52 has perforations 53, which allow the conveyed liquid to escape from the inside of the housing 48 to the outside. In the embodiment shown here, the outer part 52 of the massage head 49, 52 is designed as an elastic pad. Of course, materials with different properties can also be used here.

Bei Beschickung des Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgans 47 wird durch die einströmende Flüssigkeit der Stempel 49 des Massagekopfes 49, 52 nach außen bewegt, wodurch der Druck im Inneren des Mundstückes 4 und dem ersten Teil des Gehäuses 48 schlagartig absinkt. Bei einer entsprechend eingestellten Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und Dimensionierung der Teile des Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgans 47 kommt es, gegebenenfalls unterstützt durch eine einen pulsierenden Strahl erzeugenden Pumpe 1, zu einer oszillierenden Bewegung des Massagekopfes 49, 52 relativ zum Gehäuse 48. Mit diesem Ausführungsbeispiel der Vorrichtung 100 kann also eine Flüssigkeit nicht nur vorteilhaft einfach gehandhabt und aufgetragen, sondern zugleich auch einmassiert werden.When the liquid outlet member 47 is loaded, the stamp 49 of the massage head 49, 52 is moved outward by the inflowing liquid, as a result of which the pressure in the interior of the mouthpiece 4 and the first part of the housing 48 drops suddenly. With a correspondingly set flow velocity and dimensioning of the parts of the liquid outlet member 47, optionally supported by a pump 1 generating a pulsating jet, the massage head 49, 52 moves in an oscillating manner relative to the housing 48 not only conveniently handled and applied, but also massaged in at the same time.

Figur 3 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgans, ebenfalls im Schnitt und wieder zusammen mit einem Teil des Gehäuses 6 sowie dem Mundstück 4 der Vorrichtung 100 im Schnitt. Das Flüssigkeitsaustrittsorgan ist hier ein Lockenwickler 44, welcher in seinem Inneren hohl ausgeführt ist und eine Vielzahl von Durchbrechungen 45 aufweist, welche einen Austritt von Flüssigkeit aus dem Inneren des Wicklers 44 zu dessen Außenseite hin erlauben. Zum Zweck einer schnell und einfach herstellbaren und auch wieder lösbaren, flüssigkeitsdichten Verbindung zwischen Mundstück 4 und Wickler 44 weist letzterer eine Einstecköffnung 44' mit einer darin angeordneten, umlaufenden elastischen Dichtung 44', z. B. in Form eines Gummi-O-Ringes auf. Das Mundstück 4 einerseits sowie die Einstecköffnung 44' mit dem Dichtring 44'' bilden somit eine Kupplung 3, die sehr schnell herstellbar und wieder lösbar ist. Hierdurch wird der Vorteil erreicht, daß bei einer Haarbehandlung das Mundstück 4 am Gehäuse 6 der Vorrichtung 100 nacheinander ohne großen Aufwand in eine Anzahl von das aufgewickelte Haar einer zu behandelnden Person tragenden Lockenwicklern einführbar ist, um diese mit Wirkflüssigkeiten zu beschicken. Da die Lockenwickler 44 von dem darauf aufgewickelten Haar getragen werden, ist eine feste mechanische Verbindung zwischen Mundstück 4 und Lockenwickler 44 nicht erforderlich, sondern wäre im Gegenteil sogar eher hinderlich bei der Handhabung der Vorrichtung 100. Aufgrund der zweckmäßigen Gestaltung der Kupplung 3 und der Anordnung aller erforderlichen Bedienungselemente am Gehäuse 6 der handgehaltenen Vorrichtung 100 ist ein schnelles und problemloses Arbeiten mit der Vorrichtung möglich. Aufgrund ihrer Gestaltung ist die Vorrichtung gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sowohl für Zwecke der Haarbehandlung und -pflege als auch für andere Anwendungen, wie z. B. der pflegenden oder medizinischen Behandling der Haut verwendbar. Eine Benutzung der Vorrichtung ist dabei sowohl durch Fachkräfte, z. B. aus dem Friseurhandwerk oder den medizinischen Berufen als auch durch Privatpersonen im eigenen Haushalt möglich.FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a liquid outlet member, likewise in section and again together with part of the housing 6 and the mouthpiece 4 of the device 100 in section. The liquid outlet member here is a hair roller 44, which is hollow in its interior and has a multiplicity of openings 45, which allow liquid to escape from the interior of the roller 44 to the outside thereof. For the purpose of a quick and easy to manufacture and also releasable, liquid-tight connection between the mouthpiece 4 and the winder 44, the latter has an insertion opening 44 'with a circumferential elastic seal 44', e.g. B. in the form of a rubber O-ring. The mouthpiece 4 on the one hand and the insertion opening 44 'with the sealing ring 44''thus form a coupling 3 which can be produced very quickly and can be released again. This has the advantage that, during a hair treatment, the mouthpiece 4 on the housing 6 of the device 100 can be inserted one after the other without great effort into a number of hair curlers carrying the wound hair of a person to be treated, around these to feed with active liquids. Since the hair curlers 44 are carried by the hair wound on them, a firm mechanical connection between the mouthpiece 4 and the hair curlers 44 is not required, but on the contrary would be rather a hindrance when handling the device 100. Because of the practical design of the coupling 3 and the arrangement All the necessary operating elements on the housing 6 of the hand-held device 100 enable the device to be worked quickly and easily. Due to its design, the device according to the present invention is suitable both for the purposes of hair treatment and care and for other applications, such as. B. the caring or medical treatment of the skin can be used. A use of the device is both by specialists, for. B. from the hairdressing trade or the medical professions as well as by private individuals in your own household.
