Definitions
- Hair loss, associated with balding, is a widespread phenomenon that can affect both women and men. The consequences of this phenomenon may vary from case to case, but a majority of those affected find the phenomenon rather uncomfortable.
- the hair is considered a symbol of vitality. Vigorous hair growth is an expression of health and vitality. A person's hair is a kind of status symbol that people perceive as a signal.
- Mechanical methods include various forms of head massage.
- Various chemical-cosmetic methods are widely used.
- Various hair lotions and hair growth lotions are known, the effectiveness of which is based on the use of certain chemical substances. These processes can be differentiated according to how they are used.
- the methods can either be used externally, for example by rubbing a lotion into the scalp, or the active ingredients are then absorbed in a concentrated form via the digestive tract by taking a capsule.
- the present invention takes into account the findings of specialists, according to which the poor circulation in the scalp and the associated inadequate nutrition of the hair roots is the cause of the thinning and loss of hair.
- Fig.2a General view of the vacuum cap with adjustable band
- Fig.2b section through the vacuum cap with adjustable band and inflatable tube or additional ring, with a small degree of filling of the tube or with a thin additional ring
- Fig.2c section through the vacuum cap with adjustable band and inflatable tube or additional ring, with a large degree of filling of the tube or with a thick additional ring
- FIG. 4 Overall view of the vacuum cap with adjustable band and inflatable hose or additional ring, version with check valve
- the method according to the invention involves the use of a vacuum cap made of a rubber-like material
- the vacuum cap needs a reinforced one at its lower limit
- the strengthening of the terminating end 9 is achieved with an adjustable band 1.
- the adjustable band 1 is placed from the outside around the lower edge of the cap.
- the elasticity of the cap causes it to want to return to its original shape with the palms of the hand after pressure has been applied.
- the cap tries to restore the original volume in the space 3.
- the afterflow of air through the lower part of the cap is made impossible by the inner surface of the cap lying exactly on the scalp in the lower part of the cap.
- the hair loss can be stopped with regular use of the vacuum cap, cells that are responsible for hair growth can recover, which results in a positive effect on hair growth.
- a second possibility to adapt the cap exactly to the size of the head is to use an inflatable tube 2 or, alternatively, an additional ring.
- the inflatable tube 2 or the additional ring is placed in the vacuum cap.
- Fig. 3 shows such a cap in the attached state.
- the additional ring or the inflatable tube 2 can only be pushed up to the inner edge 8 in the cap when the cap is put on.
- the vacuum cap can also be used without the use of an additional ring or inflatable tube 2.
- the shape chosen for holding the additional ring or the tube 2 inside the cap does not have a disruptive effect on the carrier of the same if the cap is used without the additional ring or tube 2.
- the additional ring or the inflatable tube 2 and the lower edge of the cap are deformed, and the air from the intermediate space 3 can escape at the lower boundary of the cap.
- the lower edge of the vacuum cap must be shaped so that no edge can press on the head and the carrier of the vacuum cap then has a red pressure point on the head.
- the inflatable tube 2 serves to ensure the secure fit of the
- the diameter of the inflatable tube 2 limits the diameter of the head on which the vacuum cap can be placed.
- Air can flow into the interior of the device through an inlet with a plug
- Hose 2 are blown.
- the diameter of the hose 2 depends on the volume of air that is inside the hose 2.
- the inflatable tube 2 therefore makes it possible to individually adapt the vacuum cap to any conceivable head shape by varying the volume of the air in the tube 2.
- the non-inflatable additional ring is made from a set of rings of different thicknesses depending on the head size.
- FIG. 2b and FIG. 2c show two sectional images of situations with different degrees of filling of the inflatable tube 2.
- the tube 2 does not need to be inflated, respectively. it need not be worn at all.
- a check valve 6 is located in the upper part of the vacuum cap. The air is removed from the intermediate space 3 through this check valve 6. This is done by pressing the outside of the cap with your hand. In contrast to the types without check valve 6, in this embodiment, a force acting vertically downwards is exerted on the cap during use with the hands.
- the check valve 6 blocks, so that air cannot flow back through the check valve 6 from the outside again.
- a vacuum is created in the volume of the intermediate space 3 analogously to the first variant.
- the vacuum cap In a further embodiment of the vacuum cap, it consists of two parts, a smaller upper part and a larger lower one
- the upper part of the vacuum cap When assembled, the upper part of the vacuum cap is in the lower part.
- the upper part of the vacuum cap can be separated from the lower part with a simple movement and used on its own.
- the upper part of the vacuum cap and the lower part overlap each other.
- the transition between the two cap parts is formed by the air-sealing edge, which becomes increasingly thin towards the outside.
- Individual areas on the scalp can be treated in a targeted and efficient manner in this way.
- the vacuum cap at least in the upper part, can also be made of hard plastic.
- the elasticity in this case is considerably lower, so that a vacuum can no longer be created by simply pressing with the palms of your hands.
- the vacuum required to promote blood circulation is generated either with a hand bellows, which can be operated with one hand, or with an electric vacuum pump.
- the vacuum head cap at least in the upper part, is also made of airtight, foldable, plastic-like material, which is supported in its interior by springs.
- the springs ensure that the vacuum cap strives to restore its volume after a force has been applied.
- the new method with which baldness can be effectively combated or even reversed, is distinguished by several advantages compared to previously used methods:
- the application of the vacuum cap is very simple and can be carried out with just a few simple steps.
- the vacuum cap thanks to the individually usable upper part of the cap, it can be used specifically at the places on the scalp where revitalization of hair growth is indicated. There is also no cumbersome handling of lotions and ointments, so that no contamination can arise.
