Description

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine technique général des appareils de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux, tels que ceux permettant d'assurer des fonctions de coiffage, mise en plis, ou frisage par exemple.The present invention relates to the general technical field of hair treatment and / or shaping devices, such as those making it possible to perform styling, styling or curling functions, for example.

La présente invention concerne un appareil de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux, de préférence à usage manuel, comportant agencé à partir d'un corps principal, un moyen de préhension, un corps d'enroulement pour les mèches de cheveux, monté de préférence libre à rotation sur le corps principal autour de son axe longitudinal et au moins une pince mobile pour le serrage de la mèche de cheveux sur le corps.The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating and / or shaping the hair, preferably for manual use, comprising arranged from a main body, a gripping means, a winding body for the locks of hair, preferably mounted free to rotate on the main body about its longitudinal axis and at least one movable clamp for clamping the lock of hair on the body.

L'appareil conforme à l'invention est plus particulièrement destiné à assurer une fonction d' immobilisation d'une mèche de cheveux en vue d'assurer ou de faciliter le frisage d'une mèche de cheveux. A ce titre l'appareil de traitement et/ou de mise en forme conforme à l'invention concerne plus spécifiquement, mais non exclusivement les appareils à friser. L'appareil conforme à l'invention peut cependant bien évidemment comporter en association sur le corps principal le constituant, des dispositifs supplémentaires aptes à fournir d'autres fonctions de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux telle qu'une brosse, ou tout autre moyen susceptible de fournir de la chaleur, de la vapeur ou un produit de traitement. L'appareil conforme à l'invention comprend donc également des appareils tels que des fers à coiffer ou à friser pourvus ou non de moyens de chauffe ou de génération de vapeur.The apparatus according to the invention is more particularly intended to provide a function of immobilizing a lock of hair in order to ensure or facilitate the curling of a lock of hair. As such, the treatment and / or shaping apparatus according to the invention relates more specifically, but not exclusively, to curling machines. The apparatus according to the invention may however obviously comprise, in association with the main body constituting it, additional devices able to provide other functions for treating and / or shaping the hair such as a brush, or any other means capable of supplying heat, steam or a treatment product. The device according to the invention therefore also includes devices such as styling or curling irons whether or not provided with heating or steam generation means.

Il est déjà connu pour faciliter l'enroulement d'une mèche de cheveux autour d'un corps cylindrique, de munir ce dernier de saillies, de dentures ou autres éléments susceptibles de pénétrer dans la mèche de cheveux pour faciliter son adhérence et son immobilisation sur le corps cylindrique. Un tel dispositif présente cependant l'inconvénient de monopoliser les deux mains de l'utilisatrice, l'une pour tenir la mèche de cheveux appuyée contre le corps cylindrique, l'autre pour faire tourner l'appareil selon l'axe du corps cylindrique. Ces dispositifs sont en conséquence généralement considérés comme d'une utilisation souvent délicate, et du moins nécessitant un minimum de dextérité.It is already known to facilitate the winding of a lock of hair around a cylindrical body, to provide the latter with projections, teeth or other elements capable of penetrating the lock of hair to facilitate its adhesion and immobilization on the cylindrical body. However, such a device has the disadvantage of monopolizing the two hands of the user, one to hold the lock of hair pressed against the cylindrical body, the other to rotate the device along the axis of the cylindrical body. These devices are therefore generally considered to be often delicate to use, and at least requiring a minimum of dexterity.

Pour améliorer la mise en place et l'immobilisation de la mèche de cheveux sur le corps cylindrique il a en conséquence déjà été proposé d'avoir recours à une pince mobile solidaire dudit corps afin d'assurer le serrage de la mèche de cheveux. Une telle pince permet ainsi d'appliquer et d'immobiliser la mèche de cheveux sur le corps et facilite ainsi grandement la phase toujours délicate de démarrage de l'enroulement de la mèche. Le dispositif de l'art antérieur mettant en oeuvre le principe classique de la pince mobile présente ainsi une amélioration notable du maniement en comparaison avec le dispositif mentionné précédemment. Le recours à une pince mobile ne permet cependant pas de remédier aux problèmes de la séparation de la mèche traitée et bouclée à partir du corps cylindrique, sans détruire au moins en partie la structure et la qualité des boucles de cheveux retenues. En effet l'étape de séparation nécessite un déroulement de la boucle pour la déssérer.To improve the positioning and immobilization of the lock of hair on the cylindrical body, it has therefore already been proposed to use a movable clamp secured to said body in order to tighten the lock of hair. Such a clamp thus makes it possible to apply and immobilize the lock of hair on the body and thus greatly facilitates the always delicate phase of starting the winding of the lock. The device of the prior art implementing the classic principle of the movable clamp thus presents a notable improvement in handling in comparison with the device mentioned above. The use of a movable clamp does not however make it possible to remedy the problems of the separation of the treated and curled lock from the cylindrical body, without at least partially destroying the structure and the quality of the retained hair curls. Indeed the separation step requires an unwinding of the loop to loosen it.

Il a déjà été proposé pour remédier au moins en partie à ce problème, de munir les corps cylindriques d'un certain nombre de saillies rétractables supposées faciliter la séparation de la mèche bouclée. Il s'avère qu'une partie au moins des cheveux adhère toujours partiellement sur les saillies, et que si le déroulement de la mèche peut être limitée, il est toujours nécessaire d' assurer un certain guidage manuel, au départ de l'enroulement, et même à la fin de l'opération lors de la séparation. Les dispositifs équipés de saillies rétractables sont par ailleurs plus complexes à réaliser sur le plan mécanique, et par la même d'un coût plus élevé.It has already been proposed to remedy this problem at least in part, to provide the cylindrical bodies with a certain number of retractable projections supposed to facilitate the separation of the curled lock. It turns out that at least part of the hair always partially adheres to the projections, and that if the unwinding of the lock can be limited, it is always necessary to ensure a certain manual guidance, at the start of the winding, and even at the end of the operation during separation. Devices fitted with retractable projections are moreover more complex to realize mechanically, and at the same time of a higher cost.

L'objet de l'invention vise en conséquence à proposer un nouvel appareil de traitement et/ou de mise en forme de cheveux, ne présentant pas les inconvénients des systèmes antérieurs mentionnés précédemment, et qui soit à même d'assurer de manière simple, efficace et rapide la séparation de la mèche traitée et bouclée sans manipulation compliquée de la part de l'utilisatrice.The object of the invention is therefore to propose a new hair treatment and / or shaping device, which does not have the drawbacks of the prior systems mentioned above, and which is able to provide in a simple manner, efficient and rapid separation of the treated and curled lock without complicated handling on the part of the user.

Un autre objet de l'invention vise à fournir un appareil de traitement et /ou de mise en forme des cheveux de conception particulièrement simplifiée sur le plan mécanique.Another object of the invention is to provide a device for treating and / or shaping hair of a particularly mechanically simplified design.

Un autre objet de l'invention vise à proposer un nouveau procédé de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux dans lequel l'étape de séparation de la mèche bouclée est obtenue sans manipulation excessive de la part de l'utilisatrice, de manière simple et rapide.Another object of the invention is to propose a new method for treating and / or shaping the hair in which the step of separating the curly lock is obtained without excessive manipulation on the part of the user, so simple and fast.

  • a means of gripping
  • a winding body for the locks of hair, having a longitudinal axis
  • at least one movable clamp for clamping the lock of hair on the winding body, characterized in that the movable clamp is mounted so as to be freely movable on the winding body between two stop positions to ensure extraction of the wick treated in its initial state of treatment.

L'appareil de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux conforme à l'invention, tel que l'appareil à friser montré aux figures 1 à 5, comporte un moyen de préhension 1 constitué par une poignée destinée à être saisie par la main de l'utilisatrice. Dans l'exemple particulier de réalisation montré aux figures 1 à 5, le moyen de préhension 1 forme le corps principal de l'appareil à partir duquel sont agencées différentes pièces le constituant. Dans l'exemple particulier de réalisation montré, le moyen de préhension 1 est par exemple constitué d'un corps cylindrique d'axe de révolution x-x', sur lequel est monté, de préférence libre à rotation selon ledit axe x-x', un corps d'enroulement 2. Ce dernier est avantageusement de forme cylindrique, aligné avec l'axe x-x' du moyen de préhension 1 et relié à des moyens de commande et d'arrêt 3 de la rotation dudit corps enrouleur 2. A titre de variante, le corps d'enroulement 2 peut être fixe par rapport au corps principal, la mise en forme des cheveux étant obtenue par la mise en rotation de l'ensemble de l'appareil. Dans l'exemple montré les moyens de commande et d'arrêt 3 sont constitués d'un bouton de commande à deux positions assurant le blocage ou la libération de la rotation du corps enrouleur 2 autour de son axe de révolution x-x'. A titre de variante, le corps d'enroulement 2 peut être relié à un dispositif de crabotage logé dans le moyen de préhension 1, et permettant un embrayage ou un débrayage du corps enrouleur 2. A titre de variante complémentaire, le corps enrouleur 2 peut être relié à un ensemble de motorisation électrique capable d'assurer sa rotation.The hair treatment and / or shaping apparatus according to the invention, such as the curling apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, comprises a gripping means 1 consisting of a handle intended to be grasped by the user's hand. In the particular embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 5, the gripping means 1 forms the main body of the device from which are arranged different parts constituting it. In the particular embodiment shown, the gripping means 1 is for example constituted by a cylindrical body with an axis of revolution x-x ', on which is mounted, preferably free to rotate along said axis x-x' , a winding body 2. The latter is advantageously of cylindrical shape, aligned with the axis xx 'of the gripping means 1 and connected to means for controlling and stopping 3 the rotation of said winding body 2. As alternatively, the winding body 2 can be fixed relative to the main body, the shaping of the hair being obtained by the rotation of the entire apparatus. In the example shown, the control and stop means 3 consist of a control button with two positions ensuring the blocking or the release of the rotation of the winding body 2 around its axis of revolution x-x '. As a variant, the winding body 2 can be connected to a dog clutch device housed in the gripping means 1, and allowing a clutching or disengaging of the winding body 2. As a further variant, the winding body 2 can be connected to an electric motor assembly capable of ensuring its rotation.

Le corps d'enroulement 2 peut être pourvu à sa périphérie d'une série de rainures 4 (Figures 2 à 5), ou de moyens équivalents, susceptibles de favoriser l'accrochage d'une mèche de cheveux, ou de s'opposer à leur glissement. Dans l'exemple montré, les rainures 4 sont longitudinales, mais il est bien évident que tout type de moyen susceptible d'assurer une fonction s'opposant au glissement est envisageable.The winding body 2 can be provided at its periphery with a series of grooves 4 (Figures 2 to 5), or equivalent means, capable of promoting the attachment of a lock of hair, or of opposing their sliding. In the example shown, the grooves 4 are longitudinal, but it is obvious that any type of means capable of ensuring a function opposing the sliding can be envisaged.

Le corps d'enroulement 2 comporte à l'extrémité 5 opposée à l'extrémite de liaison avec le moyen de préhension 1, un bouton 6 de commande manuelle de la rotation dudit corps enrouleur 2.The winding body 2 comprises at the end 5 opposite the connection end with the gripping means 1, a button 6 for manual control of the rotation of said body reel 2.

L'appareil de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux conforme à l'invention comporte également au moins une pince mobile 10 destinée au serrage d'une mèche de cheveux M sur la surface périphérique du corps d'enroulement 2. La pince mobile 10 est montée sur le corps enrouleur 2 de manière à être librement déplaçable sur ce dernier entre deux positions de butée. Avantageusement, la pince mobile 10 est déplaçable selon l'axe longitudinal x-x' du corps d'enroulement 2, par l'intermédiaire d'un coulisseau 11 monté mobile sur le corps d'enroulement 2.The hair treatment and / or shaping apparatus according to the invention also comprises at least one movable clamp 10 intended for clamping a lock of hair M on the peripheral surface of the winding body 2. The clamp mobile 10 is mounted on the reel body 2 so as to be freely movable on the latter between two stop positions. Advantageously, the movable clamp 10 is movable along the longitudinal axis x-x 'of the winding body 2, by means of a slide 11 mounted movably on the winding body 2.

Dans la variante de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, telle que montrée aux figures 1 à 5, le coulisseau 11 est constitué d'une bague annulaire entourant le corps d'enroulement 2.In the preferred embodiment variant of the invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the slide 11 consists of an annular ring surrounding the winding body 2.

A titre de variante, le coulisseau 11 peut être constitué d'une pièce s'étendant sur une partie seulement de la périphérie du corps d'enroulement 2 et être guidé et solidaire de ce dernier par l'intermédiaire d'une fente longitudinale (non montrée aux figures).As a variant, the slide 11 can consist of a part extending over only part of the periphery of the winding body 2 and be guided and secured to the latter by means of a longitudinal slot (not shown in figures).

La pince mobile 10 est destinée à assurer le serrage de la mèche de cheveux M sur le corps d'enroulement 2 par l'intermédiaire d'un bras de compression 13 s'étendant selon l'axe x-x' et destiné à s'appliquer longitudinalement sur la périphérie du corps d'enroulement 2. Le bras de compression 13 se prolonge par une pièce intermédiaire 13a de fixation sur le coulisseau 11, à l'intérieur de laquelle est logé un axe 14 sensiblement normal à l'axe x-x'. La pince 10 comporte à son extrémité opposé au bras de compression 13 une tête de commande 15 prolongeant la pièce intermédiaire 13a et destinée à être actionnée manuellement pour permettre la rotation de la pince 10 autour de l'axe 14. De manière connue en soi la pince 10 est montée sur le coulisseau 11 en association avec un moyen de rappel élastique (non montré aux figures) tel qu'une lame ou un ressort assurant le rappel élastique permanent du bras de compression 13 en appui sur la périphérie du corps d'enroulement 2.The movable clamp 10 is intended to ensure the tightening of the lock of hair M on the winding body 2 by means of a compression arm 13 extending along the axis xx 'and intended to be applied longitudinally on the periphery of the winding body 2. The compression arm 13 is extended by an intermediate piece 13a for fixing on the slide 11, inside which is housed an axis 14 substantially normal to the axis x-x ' . The clamp 10 has at its end opposite the compression arm 13 a control head 15 extending the intermediate piece 13a and intended to be actuated manually to allow rotation of the clamp 10 around the axis 14. In a manner known per se clamp 10 is mounted on the slide 11 in association with an elastic return means (not shown in the figures) such that a blade or a spring ensuring the permanent elastic return of the compression arm 13 resting on the periphery of the winding body 2.

Dans sa position de travail telle que montrée par exemple aux figures 1 à 3, dans laquelle la pince assure le serrage et l'immobilisation de la mèche M, le bras de compression 13 s'étend sensiblement sur une longueur égale à celle du corps d'enroulement 2, le coulisseau 11 étant monté de manière à coulisser entre deux positions de butée correspondant aux deux extrémités du corps d'enroulement 2. De manière avantageuse, le corps d'enroulement 2 comporte à son extrémité 5 une pièce de butée (non montrée aux figures) empêchant le dégagement complet du coulisseau 11.In its working position as shown for example in Figures 1 to 3, in which the clamp ensures the tightening and immobilization of the drill bit M, the compression arm 13 extends substantially over a length equal to that of the body d winding 2, the slide 11 being mounted so as to slide between two stop positions corresponding to the two ends of the winding body 2. Advantageously, the winding body 2 has at its end 5 a stop piece (not shown in the figures) preventing the complete release of the slide 11.

Le fonctionnement d'un appareil conforme à l'invention est le suivant .The operation of an apparatus according to the invention is as follows.

L'utilisatrice saisit d'une main l'appareil par le moyen de préhension 1 tel que montré à la figure 2, et appuie sur la tête 15 de manière à assurer le dégagement de la pince 10 par rotation du bras de compression 13 selon la flèche F1 autour de l'axe 14. Ceci permet à l'utilisatrice de mettre en place contre le bras de compression 13 et le corps d'enroulement 2, une mèche M qui est ensuite immobilisée par relachement de la tête 15 (figure 3). L'opération de mise en place de la mèche M peut être effectuée d'une seule main puisqu'il suffit de soulever la mèche M directement avec le corps d'enroulement 2. Le relachement de la tête 15 permet au bras de compression 13 de s'appliquer contre la surface du corps d'enroulement 2 et d'immobiliser la mèche M tout en laissant une main de l'utilisatrice disponible pour toute action de contrôle ou d'aide.The user grasps the device with one hand by the gripping means 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and presses on the head 15 so as to release the clamp 10 by rotation of the compression arm 13 according to the arrow F1 around the axis 14. This allows the user to set up, against the compression arm 13 and the winding body 2, a wick M which is then immobilized by releasing the head 15 (FIG. 3) . The operation of fitting the wick M can be carried out with one hand since it suffices to lift the wick M directly with the winding body 2. The relaxation of the head 15 allows the compression arm 13 to apply against the surface of the winding body 2 and immobilize the wick M while leaving a hand of the user available for any control or assistance action.

L'utilisatrice peut alors appuyer sur le moyen de commande 3 (figure 3), permettant d'assurer le débrayage du corps d'enroulement 2. De préférence simultanément, l'utilisatrice saisie d'une autre main le bouton 6 dont la rotation autour de l'axe x-x' permet l'enroulement de la mèche M sur le corps d'enroulement 2. L'utilisatrice effectue ensuite le traitement approprié de la mèche M, telle qu'application de vapeur, de teinture ou de chaleur.The user can then press the control means 3 (FIG. 3), making it possible to disengage the winding body 2. Preferably simultaneously, the user grips the button 6 with another hand, the rotation around the axis xx 'allows the wicking of the wick M on the winding body 2. The user then performs the appropriate treatment of the wick M, such as application of steam, dyeing or heat.

Après traitement de la mèche M, l'utilisatrice saisit de sa main libre (figure 4) l'ensemble constitué par le coulisseau 11 et la pince 10 en vue de séparer la mèche traitée ou bouclée M' dudit corps d'enroulement 2 par translation de la pince 10 sur ledit corps 2 de manière que la mèche M' soit librement suspendue sur la pince 10 (figure 5). Au cours de cette étape le coulisseau 11 subit un mouvement de translation selon la flèche F2 correspondant à un coulissement de la pince 10 selon l'axe longitudinal x-x' du corps d'enroulement 2 permettant d'assurer l'extraction de la mèche traitée M' sans avoir à la dérouler. Le coulissement de la pince 10 s'effectue sur une longueur suffisante, et par exemple sensiblement sur toute la longueur du corps d'enroulement 2 de manière à permettre un dégagement complet de la mèche traitée M' conduisant, tel que montré à la figure 5 à une position de suspension libre de la mèche traitée M' sur le bras de compression 13.After treatment of the wick M, the user grasps with his free hand (FIG. 4) the assembly constituted by the slide 11 and the clamp 10 in order to separate the treated or looped wick M 'from said winding body 2 by translation of the clamp 10 on said body 2 so that the wick M 'is freely suspended on the clamp 10 (Figure 5). During this step the slide 11 undergoes a translational movement along the arrow F2 corresponding to a sliding of the clamp 10 along the longitudinal axis xx 'of the winding body 2 making it possible to extract the treated wick M 'without having to unroll it. The sliding of the clamp 10 is carried out over a sufficient length, and for example substantially over the entire length of the winding body 2 so as to allow complete release of the treated wick M 'leading, as shown in FIG. 5 to a free suspension position of the treated bit M 'on the compression arm 13.

L'appareil de traitement et/ou de mise en forme des cheveux conforme à l'invention, ainsi que le procédé de traitement correspondant permettent d'assurer une extraction complète de la mèche traitée ou bouclée M' sans avoir à assurer son déroulement c'est à dire sans devoir agir en aucune manière sur la structure même de la mèche traitée M'. Cette dernière est ainsi conservée intégralement dans son état initial de traitement, c'est-à-dire par exemple enroulée ou bouclée, alors même que les manipulations d'enroulement et d'extraction ont été particulièrement simplifiées.The hair treatment and / or shaping apparatus in accordance with the invention, as well as the corresponding treatment method make it possible to ensure complete extraction of the treated or curled lock M 'without having to ensure its progress c' is to say without having to act in any way on the very structure of the treated wick M '. The latter is thus kept entirely in its initial state of treatment, that is to say for example wound or looped, even when the handling of winding and extraction have been particularly simplified.

A titre de variante préférentielle, le corps d'enroulement 2 peut être réalisé partiellement ou avantageusement totalement en un matériau plastique, tel que du PBT, du polyamide chargé ou non, ou du polypropylène.As a preferred variant, the winding body 2 can be made partially or advantageously completely from a plastic material, such as PBT, polyamide, loaded or not, or polypropylene.
