  • the treatment area of the working faces of the tools has dimensions, and in particular a length, determined by construction so that it can treat a large sheet of hair; however, it is not always possible to cover said zone over its entire length, taking into account the various widths of the layers of hair to be treated; so that the distribution of the treatment fluids is as homogeneous as possible, that the treatment zone is entirely or partially covered with hair, the invention provides for adapting the pressure drop, through the distribution holes, to the fluid which crosses and in particular at its pressure; thus, and this is visible in the figures, the steam being distributed under high pressure, having regard to the other fluids distributed, such as blown or sucked air, the "steam" holes are smaller than the "suction"holes; good results have been obtained, with regard to the homogeneity of the distribution of the vapor, when the pressure drop across the "steam" working face was greater than 0.05. 10 -3 bar, for example equal to 0.1.10 -3 bar.
  • the diversity of tools combined with the various possibilities of the generator can lead to using the same channel for fluids different ; it is also possible to use the same channel in one way or the other, for example by pushing steam in it under high pressure in one direction, or by sucking air into it the other direction; the invention provides, in such a case, to provide such a different pressure drop channel depending on whether it is used in a one way or the other.
  • FIG. 33 An exemplary embodiment is shown on the Figure 33; the channel 400 shown in section in this figure shows a cylindrical wall 406 traversed by radial orifices 401 distributed circumferentially; two semi-cylindrical walls 402, 403 lining the cylindrical wall 406 internally, covering the orifices 401; the semi-cylindrical walls 402, 403 are in relatively elastic material and are attached to the cylindrical wall in the middle, along a generator, as shown in 404, 405; the semi-cylindrical walls 402, 403 are crossed by holes 407 with a diameter smaller than that of the orifices 401.
  • the assembly according to the invention may also include a device for filtering conveyed fluids to absorb odors, excess products used in working the hair, reaction byproducts, or to condense certain vapors thus avoiding their condensation in the place where the hair is worked, especially on window panes.
  • the same distribution channel can also be borrowed in the same direction by two different fluids: by example, hot air and steam being rarely used simultaneously for the same tool, the assembly can be arranged in so that steam and air can pass through the same channel distribution when one of the hot air or steam fluids is used.
  • hair work could be done in certain sequences that could be manually selected from pushers carried by the housing certain sequences being specific to certain processing tools particular it is possible, when these tools are mounted so removable on the tool holder, provide contact means on the tool holder and on the tool which, when the tool is in place, designate automatically to the microprocessor for managing the assembly according to the invention the sequence to be ensured for working with hair using this particular tool.
