Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair roller for rolling up hair.
  • hair curlers usually consist of a winding core, which has openings for the passage of the moisture still present in the hair after washing the hair, and a Velcro fastener fastened thereon.
  • the back of the Velcro tape has openings which are formed by struts arranged in a grid.
  • hair curlers In hairstyle technology, numerous forms of hair curlers are known, on which the predominantly female hair is rolled up in order to achieve curls. Such hair curlers are well known as curlers.
  • the technique of rolling up the hair is not without problems because the hair easily slides on a smooth roller.
  • the hair must be fixed tight on the hair roller for a while to ensure the formation of curls.
  • Bristle bundles in the form of round brushes are pushed into the core of the hair curler, the bristles of which then penetrate the wall of the hair curler formed as an open network structure and form a brush-like surface of the hair curler. It is easier to fix the hair in the bristles at the beginning of the rolling process, so that tight winding is easier.
  • Injection-molded plastic winders, the surface of which has plastic bristles, serve the same purpose.
  • Velcro is widely known as a fastener system in the clothing sector. Two types of tapes are used in this application, one with numerous hooks and the other with as many eyelets on the surface. If you bring both tapes together under slight pressure, they immediately cling together and form an extremely tight closure. Plastic is mostly used as the material for these Velcro tapes, which are used to the greatest extent, in particular based on polyamides such as nylon.
  • the band design is modified so that the hooks are longer in order to exert a sufficient adhesive effect on the roller bundle of the hair and to still have sufficient fixing action even with long hair and thick hair bundles.
  • the rows of hooks are connected by an open nylon grid made of struts, through which hair dryer air easily passes.
  • the hair curler itself is well ventilated through openings in its outer jacket.
  • the self-adhesive Velcro tape is firmly connected to the winding core, which usually also consists of plastic.
  • Such hair curlers have the disadvantage, however, that they are extremely complex. This is partly due to the high price for the Velcro, and partly due to the production technology, which is still largely manual.
  • Polypropylene has proven to be very suitable and inexpensive for the winding core.
  • the Velcro is wrapped around this winding core, which is available in up to 15 different diameters, and thermally welded to one another with a slight overlap at the end.
  • the welding of nylon to nylon is not connected to the underlying polypropylene winding core, so that the tape lies loosely on the core. since the Velcro tape also has no fixation at the beginning of the winding around the core, it is often wound very loosely and easily forms folds when winding the hair.
  • the invention has for its object to avoid these disadvantages and to provide a hair roller according to the preamble of this application, which allows easy handling of the hair roller, even by the person who wears this hair roller. Nevertheless, it should guarantee a secure fixing of the hair on the hair roller, ensure a tight winding and enable machine production.
  • the object is achieved in that the winding core has at least one, expediently two and advantageously even four and more pins on its outer jacket, which can be pressed into the open struts on the back of the Velcro tape.
  • the peg on the outer jacket of the winding core has the advantage that this peg holds the Velcro firmly and firmly on the winding core when it is put around the Velcro around the winding core and is fixed in position and the application of the hair roller is considerably easier and effortless by one person in the hairdressing salon or can be performed by the user himself at home.
  • Fixing the Velcro tape on the winding core has the further advantage that the manufacture of the hair curler can now also be mechanized and, compared to the previous manual work in the manufacture, a manufacturing process is now possible.
  • a single pin on the outer jacket of the winding core is sufficient. It is then expediently arranged centrally in the axial direction, by one across the width of the hair winder to effect even rolling up of the hair. Expediently, however, several pins are arranged as symmetrically as possible over the circumference of the outer jacket, preferably two to four, because then the damp hair can be wound up with greater force and tighter.
  • the diameter of the pin is expediently greater than the distance between adjacent struts on the back of the Velcro tape, so that it connects the Velcro tape and winding core in the press fit.
  • the diameter of the pin expediently corresponds to approximately twice the distance between two adjacent struts.
  • the simple handling and security of the firm clamping fit of the Velcro tape on the winding core can be further improved in that the pin has a fully or partially circumferential groove in the region of its base, into which the open struts of the Velcro tape snap when the Velcro tape is placed around the winding core will, and set it so immovably on the winding core.
  • the back of the Velcro is preferably a strut formed from polyamide, especially nylon, on which the Velcro is attached and which is characterized by both great strength and elasticity, so that the pin can be pressed in with relatively strong pressure.
  • This embodiment of the back of the Velcro tape is particularly suitable for a winding core with a spigot with a circumferential groove, because the struts of the nylon grid snap into the groove after the spigot has penetrated and thus ensure a particularly secure fit of the Velcro strip on the winding core.
  • This security can be increased, in particular in the case of a spigot made of thermoplastic material, in that the tip of the spigot, which facilitates penetration into the Velcro strip, is subsequently shaped like a mushroom head by means of heat and is thereby blunted.
  • the winding core and the pins attached to its outer jacket can be made of a wide variety of materials such as ceramic, sheet metal and aluminum.
  • Plastic is preferred.
  • Polypropylene is preferred among the plastics, which is characterized by low production costs, but above all by its easy deformability and inertness.
  • a winding core, which consists of a single piece, preferably an injection-molded part, which has all the functionally essential parts, is very preferred for solving the task, so that the hair roller consists of only two parts, namely the winding core and the Velcro tape fastened thereon with the aid of the pin .
  • the winding core 1 consists of a plastic injection molded part made of polypropylene of a lattice-shaped structure formed by struts 5.
  • the struts 5 enclose a relatively large free space 6, so that the air can easily pass through the winding core 1 and the hair when blow-drying or otherwise drying the hair.
  • the Velcro tape 7 wrapped around the winding core 1 alternately consists of a row of Velcro loops 8 and a row of nylon mesh 10, which is also relatively wide-meshed to allow the air to pass easily.
  • the pin 2 penetrates with its tip 4 into the nylon grid 10 of the Velcro tape 7, hooks through the groove 3 in the Velcro tape 7 and thus ensures that the Velcro tape 7 is firmly seated on the winding core 1.
  • the winding core and / or pin can consist of thermoplastic, ceramic, clay, clay, synthetic ceramic, sheet metal, aluminum or wood, or a combination of these materials.
