Description

L'invention se rapporte aux sèche-cheveux comprenant un boîtier dont une région comporte des moyens de fixation sur une paroi verticale telle que par exemple un mur, et qui contient un groupe générateur d'air chaud à moto-ventilateur commandé par un interrupteur électrique et destiné à établir un courant d'air entre un orifice d'entrée d'air et un orifice de sortie d'air chaud.The invention relates to hair dryers comprising a housing, a region of which has means for fixing to a vertical wall such as, for example, a wall, and which contains a hot air generator group with a fan motor controlled by an electric switch. and intended to establish a current of air between an air inlet orifice and a hot air outlet orifice.

Elle concerne, plus précisément, les sèche-cheveux dans lesquels l'orifice de sortie d'air chaud reçoit un connecteur solidaire d'un tube flexible équipé d'une buse de séchage des cheveux qui peut être amenée, soit en une position de rangement ou de repos pour laquelle l'interrupteur est en un état ouvert, soit en une position d'utilisation pour laquelle l'interrupteur est en un état fermé et permet le séchage des cheveux
Dans les sèche-cheveux connus de ce genre, l'interrupteur électrique est généralement monté dans un logement du boîtier et est commandé directement par la buse lors de son décrochage du logement et inversement. Ce type de commande se révèle dangereux car si l'usager oublie de raccrocher ou si le décrochement a lieu par inadvertance, le groupe générateur fonctionne en permanence et peut prendre feu dans certain cas, par exemple, lors d'un mauvais fonctionnement du moto-ventilateur.More specifically, it relates to hair dryers in which the hot air outlet orifice receives a connector secured to a flexible tube fitted with a hair drying nozzle which can be brought either to a storage position. or rest for which the switch is in an open state, or in a position of use for which the switch is in a closed state and allows drying of the hair
In known hair dryers of this kind, the electrical switch is generally mounted in a housing of the housing and is controlled directly by the nozzle when it comes off the housing and vice versa. This type of command proves to be dangerous because if the user forgets to hang up or if the hook takes place inadvertently, the generator group operates continuously and may catch fire in certain cases, for example, when the motor-ventilator malfunctions.

En outre, on comprendra que ce type de commande de l'interrupteur nécessite, lors de la fabrication du sèche-cheveux, un positionnement et un réglage rigoureux dudit interrupteur de manière à garantir sont état ouvert toutes les fois que la buse est raccrochée.In addition, it will be understood that this type of control of the switch requires, during the manufacture of the hair dryer, a rigorous positioning and adjustment of said switch so as to guarantee its open state whenever the nozzle is hung up.

La présente invention a notamment pour but de supprimer ces inconvénients.The object of the present invention is in particular to eliminate these drawbacks.

Selon l'invention, le connecteur est monté mobile en rotation sur ledit orifice de sortie d'air chaud, et comporte un moyen d'actionnement de l'interrupteur tel que le passage de la buse de séchage de sa position de rangement ou de repos à sa position d'utilisation amène, par transmission du mouvement de ladite buse au connecteur au moyen du tube flexible, l'interrupteur en son état fermé et inversement.According to the invention, the connector is mounted so as to be able to rotate on said hot air outlet orifice, and comprises a means for actuating the switch such that the passage of the drying nozzle from its storage or rest position. in its position of use, by transmitting the movement from said nozzle to the connector by means of the flexible tube, the switch in its closed state and vice versa.

Grâce à cette disposition, le pivotement du connecteur est subordonné à la position spatiale de la buse et provoque automatiquement la mise en état ouvert de l'interrupteur lorsque la buse est amenée en position de rangement ou de repos.Thanks to this arrangement, the pivoting of the connector is subordinate to the spatial position of the nozzle and automatically causes the switch to be placed in the open state when the nozzle is brought into the storage or rest position.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront d'ailleurs de la description qui va suivre, à titre d'exemple, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un sèche-cheveux selon l'invention avec la buse de séchage en position de rangement et arrachement d'une partie du boîtier pour illustrer un moyen d'actionnement de l'interrupteur ;
  • la Figure 2 est une vue analogue à la Figure 1, mais illustrant la buse en sa position d'utilisation ;
  • la Figure 3 est une représentation schématique d'une coupe d'un sèche-cheveux selon l'invention pour en illustrer ses parties internes ;
  • la Figure 4 représente à plus grande échelle le détail A de la Figure 3.
The characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description which follows, by way of example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hair dryer according to the invention with the drying nozzle in the storage position and cutaway of a portion of the housing to illustrate a means of actuation of the switch;
  • Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, but illustrating the nozzle in its position of use;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic representation of a section of a hair dryer according to the invention to illustrate its internal parts;
  • Figure 4 shows on a larger scale the detail A of Figure 3.

Le sèche-cheveux représenté comprend un boîtier 1 présentant la forme générale d'un cylindre dont les cloisons d'extrémité 1a-1b sont ouvertes et dont une région de sa surface latérale présente un bossage 2 portant des moyens de fixation amovible sur une paroi verticale P telle que, par exemple, un mur de manière à maintenir ledit cylindre en une position pratiquement horizontale et parallèle à ladite paroi verticale. Les moyens de fixation (non représentés) peuvent être des boutonnières adaptées à venir s'accrocher sur des crochets fixés sur le mur.The hair dryer shown comprises a housing 1 having the general shape of a cylinder whose end partitions 1a-1b are open and whose region of its lateral surface has a boss 2 carrying removable fixing means on a vertical wall P such as, for example, a wall so as to maintain said cylinder in a practically horizontal position and parallel to said vertical wall. The fixing means (not shown) can be buttonholes adapted to hang on hooks fixed to the wall.

Le boîtier 1 contient un groupe générateur d'air chaud à moto-ventilateur 3 et du type à résistance électrique bobinée 4. Ledit groupe 3-4 est commandé par un interrupteur électrique 5 et est destiné à établir un courant d'air entre les liaisons d'extrémité 1a-1b qui présentent respectivement les orifices d'entrée d'air ambiant 6 et de sortie d'air chaud 7. L'orifice de sortie d'air chaud 7 reçoit un connecteur 8 solidaire d'un tube flexible 9 équipé d'une buse 10 de séchage des cheveux qui peut être amenée soit en une position de rangement (illustrée en traits pleins sur la Figure 1) ou de repos (illustrée en traits interrompus sur la Figure 1) pour laquelle l'interrupteur 5 est en un état ouvert (mise hors tension du groupe générateur d'air chaud), soit en une position d'utilisation (Figure 2) pour laquelle l'interrupteur 5 est en un état fermé (mise sous tension du groupe générateur d'air chaud), et permet le séchage des cheveux.The box 1 contains a hot air generator group 3 and of the type with a wound electrical resistance 4. Said group 3-4 is controlled by an electric switch 5 and is intended to establish a current of air between the connections end 1a-1b which respectively have the ambient air inlet 6 and hot air outlet 7 holes. The hot air outlet 7 receives a connector 8 secured to a flexible tube 9 equipped a hair drying nozzle 10 which can be brought either to a storage position (illustrated in solid lines in FIG. 1) or in a rest position (illustrated in broken lines in FIG. 1) for which the switch 5 is in an open state (turning off the hot air generator group), or in a position of use (Figure 2) for which the switch 5 is in a closed state (turning on the hot air generator group) , and allows hair drying.

Comme on le voit mieux sur la Figure 2, la buse de soufflage 10 et la paroi 1b présentant l'orifice d'entrée d'air 6 comportent des moyens d'accrochage mutuel tels qu'un crochet 12 solidaire de la buse 10 et un support 13 solidaire de la paroi 1b, le tube flexible 9 présentant ainsi en position de rangement la forme d'un U.As best seen in Figure 2, the blowing nozzle 10 and the wall 1b having the air inlet port 6 comprise mutual attachment means such as a hook 12 secured to the nozzle 10 and a support 13 secured to the wall 1b, the flexible tube 9 thus having in the storage position the shape of a U.

Selon l'invention le connecteur 8 est monté mobile en rotation sur l'orifice 7 de sortie d'air chaud, et comporte un moyen d'actionnement 14 de l'interrupteur 5 tel que le passage de la buse de séchage 10 de sa position de rangement ou de repos (Figure 1) à sa position d'utilisation (Figure 2) amène, par transmission du mouvement de ladite buse 10 au connecteur 8 au moyen du tube flexible 9, l'interrupteur 5 en son état fermé et inversement.According to the invention the connector 8 is mounted so as to be able to rotate on the orifice 7 for the outlet of hot air, and comprises an actuating means 14 of the switch 5 such that the passage of the drying nozzle 10 from its position storage or rest (Figure 1) in its position of use (Figure 2) brings, by transmitting the movement of said nozzle 10 to the connector 8 by means of the flexible tube 9, the switch 5 in its closed state and vice versa.

Pour permettre la rotation et le montage du connecteur 8 sur l'orifice de sortie d'air chaud 7, l'invention prévoit comme on le voit mieux sur la Figure 4, que ledit orifice 7 forme par son bord interne un palier cylindrique 16 à axe pratiquement horizontal et parallèle à la paroi verticale P, et le connecteur 8 présente une couronne 15 de forme complémentaire montée rotative sur ledit palier autour dudit axe, le palier 16 et la couronne 15 comportant des moyens de retenue mutuelle constitués par l'emboîtement du bord formant palier 16 dans une gorge en U 17 pratiquée dans la couronne 15. Comme on le voit sur le dessin, le connecteur 8 présente la forme d'un coude dont une extrémité comporte la couronne 15 qui porte sur son bord périphérique 15' tourné vers l'interrupteur le moyen d'actionnement 14 de l'interrupteur 5, et dont l'autre extrémité 18 reçoit le tube flexible 9.To allow rotation and mounting of the connector 8 on the hot air outlet orifice 7, the invention provides, as can be seen more clearly in FIG. 4, that said orifice 7 forms, by its internal edge, a cylindrical bearing 16 to axis substantially horizontal and parallel to the vertical wall P , and the connector 8 has a crown 15 of complementary shape rotatably mounted on said bearing around said axis, the bearing 16 and the crown 15 comprising mutual retaining means constituted by the interlocking of the edge forming a bearing 16 in a U-shaped groove 17 formed in the crown 15. As can be seen in the drawing, the connector 8 has the shape of an elbow, one end of which comprises the crown 15 which bears on its peripheral edge 15 'turned towards the switch the actuating means 14 of the switch 5, and the other end of which receives the flexible tube 9.

Comme représenté sur les parties arrachées des Figures 1 et 2 le moyen d'actionnement 14 de l'interrupteur 5 est constitué par une aile qui s'étend selon un arc de cercle concentrique à la couronne 15 et défini angulairement par rapport à la position de l'interrupteur 5 dans le boîtier.As shown on the parts broken away from Figures 1 and 2 the actuating means 14 of the switch 5 is constituted by a wing which extends in an arc of a circle concentric with the crown 15 and defined angularly with respect to the position of switch 5 in the housing.

Pour décrire le fonctionnement du sèche-cheveux, nous considérerons la buse 10 en sa position de rangement (illustrée en traits pleins à la Figure 1).
Lorsque l'utilisateur désire utiliser le sèche-cheveux, il décroche la buse 10 de la paroi 1b, puis l'amène, en direction de sa tête, en sa position d'utilisation. Ce mouvement d'éloignement de la buse de la paroi verticale P s'accompagne du déplacement du tube 9 dont l'extrémité reliée au connecteur 8 provoque un couple de basculement entraînant la rotation dudit connecteur sur le palier 16. Cette rotation du connecteur entraîne l'aile 14 de sa position illustrée à la Figure 1 pour laquelle elle maintient l'interrupteur 5 en sa position ouverte, à une position illustrée, par exemple, à la Figure 2 et pour laquelle elle libère l'interrupteur 5 qui passe automatiquement en son état fermé alimentant ainsi le générateur d'air chaud 3-4.
Le dimensionnement et la position angulaires de l'aile 4 par rapport à l'interrupteur 5 sont choisis de manière que l'interrupteur passe de son état ouvert à son état fermé dès que l'utilisateur éloigne la buse 10 de la paroi verticale P.To describe the operation of the hair dryer, we will consider the nozzle 10 in its storage position (illustrated in solid lines in Figure 1).
When the user wishes to use the hair dryer, he unhooks the nozzle 10 from the wall 1b, then brings it, in the direction of his head, in its position of use. This movement away from the nozzle of the vertical wall P is accompanied by the displacement of the tube 9 whose end connected to the connector 8 causes a tilting torque causing the rotation of said connector on the bearing 16. This rotation of the connector causes l wing 14 from its position illustrated in FIG. 1 for which it maintains the switch 5 in its open position, in a position illustrated, for example, in FIG. 2 and for which it releases the switch 5 which automatically switches to its closed state thus supplying the hot air generator 3-4.
The dimensioning and the angular position of the wing 4 relative to the switch 5 are chosen so that the switch goes from its open state to its closed state as soon as the user moves the nozzle 10 away from the vertical wall P.

Lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite interrompre le séchage, il peut soit raccrocher la buse 10 sur le crochet 13 (position de rangement), soit laisser pendre ladite buse et le tube 9 le long de la paroi verticale (position de repos) comme il est illustré en traits interrompus sur la Figure 1, ces deux positions provoquant la rotation inverse du connecteur 8 et amenant ainsi l'aile 14 au contact de l'interrupteur 5 qui passe alors en son état ouvert garantissant l'arrêt du groupe générateur d'air chaud 3-4. On obtient ainsi une grande sécurité d'utilisation.When the user wishes to interrupt drying, he can either hang up the nozzle 10 on the hook 13 (storage position), or let the nozzle and the tube 9 hang down along the vertical wall (rest position) as illustrated. in broken lines in Figure 1, these two positions causing the reverse rotation of the connector 8 and thus bringing the wing 14 into contact with the switch 5 which then goes into its open state guaranteeing the shutdown of the hot air generator group 3-4. This gives great safety in use.
