Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haarbehandlungsgerät mit einem Griffteil und einem beheizbaren Funktionsteil, das einen etwa rohrförmigen Borstenträger zur Aufnahme von Borsten aufweist.The invention relates to a hair treatment device with a handle part and a heatable functional part, which has an approximately tubular bristle carrier for receiving bristles.

Ein derartiges Haarbehandlungsgerät ist beispielsweise aus der US 4,126,143 bekannt. Dort ist ein elektrisch beheizbarer Kamm beschrieben, bei dem ein Borstenträger an einem Griffteil angebracht ist. Im Inneren des Borstenträgers ist eine Heizpatrone untergebracht und außen sind an dem Borstenträger eine Anzahl von Borstenelementen angebracht. Der Borstenträger weist einen rohrförmigen Querschnitt auf und die Borstenelemente haben eine ösenförmige Gestalt mit einer abstehenden Spitze.Such a hair treatment device is known for example from US 4,126,143. An electrically heated comb is described there, in which a bristle holder is attached to a handle part. A heating cartridge is housed inside the bristle holder and a number of bristle elements are attached to the outside of the bristle holder. The bristle carrier has a tubular cross section and the bristle elements have an eyelet shape with a protruding tip.

Der Nachteil bekannter Haarbehandlungsgeräte besteht darin, daß diese entweder nur für langes oder nur für kurzes Haar gute Formergebnisse zeigen. Für kurze Haare werden Borstenträger mit kleinen Querschnitten und für lange Haare Borstenträger mit kleinen oder großen Querschnitten eingesetzt. Der Verwendung von Haarformgeräten mit Borstenträgern mit nur kleinen Querschnitten steht entgegen, daß mit diesen keine großvolumige Wellen oder Locken oder dgl. geformt werden können.The disadvantage of known hair treatment devices is that they show good shape results either only for long or only for short hair. Bristle holders with small cross sections are used for short hair and bristle holders with small or large cross sections for long hair. The use of hair styling devices with bristle carriers with only small cross sections is contrary to the fact that they cannot be used to form large-volume waves or curls or the like.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Haarbehandlungsgerät zu schaffen, mit dem kurzes wie langes Haar gleichermaßen gut mit variablen Formergebnissen, insbesondere kleine und große Wellen oder Locken, bearbeitet werden kann. Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Borstenträger mit einem Querschnitt versehen ist, der zwei unterschiedliche Radien aufweist.The object of the invention is to provide a hair treatment device with which short and long hair can be processed equally well with variable shape results, in particular small and large waves or curls. This object is achieved in that the bristle carrier is provided with a cross section that has two different radii.

Mit Hilfe der unterschiedlichen Radien ist es möglich, sowohl Wellen bei langem oder mittellangem Haar zu formen, als auch kurze Haare im Haaransatzbereich zu behandeln. Der größere Radius kann dabei für die großvolumigen Wellen insbesondere bei langem Haar verwendet werden, während der kleinere Radius besonders für die Behandlung von kurzem Haar sowie von Haaren im Haaransatzbereich geeignet ist. Ein Benutzer kann somit das erfindungsgemäße Haarbehandlungsgerät durch entsprechendes Drehen um die Längsachse optimal an das jeweils zu bearbeitende Haar anpassen und dadurch insbesondere die Haarformung wesentlich verbessern.With the help of the different radii, it is possible to form waves for long or medium-length hair, as well as to treat short hair in the hairline area. The larger radius can be used for the large-volume waves, especially for long hair, while the smaller radius is particularly suitable for the treatment of short hair and hair in the hairline area. A user can thus optimally adapt the hair treatment device according to the invention to the hair to be processed by appropriate rotation about the longitudinal axis, and in particular thereby significantly improve the hair styling.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung stehen die Borsten in Umfangsrichtung nur in einem Bereich von etwa 180 Grad von dem Borstenträger ab, und der Radius des Querschnitts in diesem Bereich des Borstenträgers ist kleiner als im übrigen Bereich. Der kleine Radius des beborsteten Bereiches ist für die Behandlung von kurzen Haaren besonders geeignet. Er ermöglicht also zum Beispiel auch das Erzeugen von stehendem Haar im Haaransatzbereich. Des weiteren können mit Hilfe des kleinen Radius kleinvolumige Wellen und Locken ähnlich krausem Haar geformt werden, und zwar bei langem, wie auch bei mittellangem Haar.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the bristles protrude from the bristle carrier only in a region of approximately 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, and the radius of the cross section in this region of the bristle carrier is smaller than in the rest of the region. The small radius of the bristled area is particularly suitable for the treatment of short hair. It also enables, for example, the creation of standing hair in the hairline area. Furthermore, with the help of the small radius, small-volume waves and curls can be shaped similar to frizzy hair, for long as well as medium-long hair.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Borstenträger in dem Bereich des Querschnitts mit dem größeren Radius mit abstehenden Rippen, insbesondere unterschiedlicher Höhe, versehen ist. Der große Radius ist besonders dazu geeignet, beim Eindrehen von Locken und Wellen, insbesondere in lange Haare, optimale Resultate zu erzielen. Die Haare können aufgrund des großen Radius und mit Hilfe der Rippen vom Borstenträger gut ergriffen bzw. geführt und eingedreht werden. Dabei sind für den Benutzer, aufgrund des großen Radius, nur geringe Drehbewegungen notwendig. Des weiteren ist es möglich, die Haare über den gerippten Bereich mit dem großen Radius zu ziehen. Auf diese Weise können die Haare geglättet werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the bristle carrier is provided with projecting ribs, in particular of different heights, in the region of the cross section with the larger radius. The large radius is particularly suitable for achieving optimal results when twisting curls and waves, especially in long hair. Due to the large radius and the ribs, the hair can be gripped or guided and twisted by the bristle holder. Due to the large radius, only slight rotary movements are necessary for the user. It is also possible to pull the hair over the ribbed area with the large radius. In this way, the hair can be straightened.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist der Borstenträger zwei Halbschalen auf, deren Querschnitt mit jeweils einem der beiden unterschiedlichen Radien versehen ist. Der Borstenträger kann auf diese Weise einfacher hergestellt werden. Es ist nicht notwendig, ein Bauteil mit zwei unterschiedlichen Radien herzustellen, sondern der Borstenträger kann in einfacher Weise aus zwei separat erzeugten Halbschalen zusammengesetzt werden. Jede der Halbschalen weist dabei einen der unterschiedlichen Radien auf, so daß insgesamt der zusammengesetzte Borstenträger die bereits erläuterten Vorteile aufweist.In an advantageous development of the invention, the bristle carrier has two half-shells, the cross section of which is provided with one of the two different radii. The bristle carrier can be manufactured more easily in this way. It is not necessary to produce a component with two different radii, but the bristle carrier can be easily assembled from two separately produced half-shells. Each of the half-shells has one of the different radii, so that overall the composite bristle carrier has the advantages already explained.

Bei einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht eine der Halbschalen aus Metall und die andere Halbschale aus Kunststoff, wobei die Borsten von der Halbschale aus Metall und die Rippen von der Halbschale aus Kunststoff abstehen. Die Halbschale aus Metall ist besonders dazu geeignet, Wärme an die Borsten weiterzuleiten. Die Borsten sind somit schnell und gut beheizbar, so daß sie optimal für die Behandlung von Haaren, insbesondere für die Haarformung, verwendet werden können. Die Halbschale aus Kunststoff dient insbesondere dazu, die Haare vorzuwärmen und auf eine Haarformung vorzubereiten. Die Rippen erzeugen dabei einen ausreichenden Abstand der heißen Flächen von der Haut des Benutzers. Des weiteren können die Haare, mit Hilfe der Rippen, von dem Benutzer geführt und damit in die gewünschte Form gebracht werden. Darüberhinaus dienen die Rippen einer zusätzlichen Erwärmung der in ihnen geführten Haarsträhnen, aufgrund des Kontakts mit einer größeren beheizten Fläche. Insbesondere können abgeteilte Strähnen von den Rippen zusammengehalten und damit gesondert behandelt werden.In an expedient embodiment of the invention, one of the half-shells is made of metal and the other half-shell is made of plastic, the bristles protruding from the half-shell made of metal and the ribs protruding from the half-shell made of plastic. The half-shell made of metal is particularly suitable for transferring heat to the bristles. The bristles can thus be heated quickly and easily, so that they can be used optimally for the treatment of hair, in particular for hair styling. The plastic half-shell is used in particular to preheat the hair and prepare it for hair styling. The ribs create a sufficient distance between the hot surfaces and the user's skin. Furthermore, the hair can be guided by the user with the help of the ribs and thus brought into the desired shape. In addition, the ribs serve for additional heating of the strands of hair contained in them, due to the contact with a larger heated area. In particular, separated strands can be held together by the ribs and thus treated separately.

Als besonders zweckmäßig hat es sich in der Praxis herausgestellt, wenn der kleinere Radius einen Wert zwischen etwa 14 mm und etwa 20 mm, insbesondere etwa 17 mm aufweist und der größere Radius einen Wert zwischen etwa 35 mm und etwa 45 mm, insbesondere etwa 40 mm. Bei diesen Werten der beiden unterschiedlichen Radien ist eine besonders vorteilhafte Behandlung und insbesondere Formung von langem, mittellangem und auch kurzem Haar möglich.It has proven particularly useful in practice if the smaller radius is egg NEN value between about 14 mm and about 20 mm, in particular about 17 mm and the larger radius has a value between about 35 mm and about 45 mm, in particular about 40 mm. With these values of the two different radii, a particularly advantageous treatment and in particular shaping of long, medium-long and also short hair is possible.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Radius im Übergangsbereich zwischen den beiden Bereichen mit den unterschiedlichen Radien kleiner als die beiden Radien. Der Übergangsbereich weist somit den kleinsten Radius auf. Dieser kleinste Radius ist besonders dazu geeignet, die Haare im Bereich des Haaransatzes zu formen, da die Haare in diesem Bereich von dem kleinsten Radius noch ergriffen und damit geformt werden können. Beispielsweise kann mit Hilfe dieses kleinsten Radius stehendes Haar im Haaransatzbereich besonders gut erzeugt werden.In an advantageous development of the invention, the radius in the transition area between the two areas with the different radii is smaller than the two radii. The transition area thus has the smallest radius. This smallest radius is particularly suitable for shaping the hair in the area of the hairline, since the hair in this area can still be gripped by the smallest radius and thus shaped. For example, standing hair in the hairline area can be produced particularly well with the aid of this smallest radius.

Als besonders zweckmäßig hat es sich in der Praxis herausgestellt, wenn der Radius im Übergangsbereich einen Wert zwischen etwa 2 mm und etwa 6 mm, insbesondere etwa 4 mm aufweist.It has proven to be particularly expedient in practice if the radius in the transition area has a value between approximately 2 mm and approximately 6 mm, in particular approximately 4 mm.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind die Borsten in Umfangsrichtung versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Auf diese Weise wird von den nebeneinanderstehenden Borsten in Umfangsrichtung ein Kanal gebildet, der einen optimalen Halt der Haare in dieser Umfangsrichtung des Borstenträgers bewirkt. Die Haare erhalten durch den Kanal einen seitlichen Halt, so daß ein seitliches Abrutschen verhindert wird. Die Haare liegen insbesondere beim Ziehen über den Borstenträger mit leichtem Druck an den Borsten an. Dadurch kann die erzeugte Wärme besonders gut auf die Haare übertragen und somit eine schnelle und optimale Haarformung erreicht werden.In a further advantageous development of the invention, the bristles are arranged offset to one another in the circumferential direction. In this way, the adjacent bristles form a channel in the circumferential direction, which ensures an optimal hold of the hair in this circumferential direction of the bristle holder. The hair is given a lateral hold by the channel, so that a lateral slipping is prevented. The hair lies on the bristles with slight pressure, especially when pulled over the bristle holder. As a result, the heat generated can be transferred particularly well to the hair, thus achieving fast and optimal hair styling.

Bei einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung bilden die Borsten in Umfangsrichtung eine Bogenlinie oder eine Schlangenlinie oder eine schräge Linie. Zwischen den Borsten sind also entsprechende Kanäle ausgebildet, die sich in der Praxis als besonders vorteilhaft herausgestellt haben. Insbesondere mit der bogenförmigen Anordnung der Kanäle konnten in der Praxis hervorragende Ergebnisse erzielt werden.In an expedient embodiment of the invention, the bristles form an arc line or a serpentine line or an oblique line in the circumferential direction. Corresponding channels are thus formed between the bristles, which have proven to be particularly advantageous in practice. Excellent results have been achieved in practice, in particular with the arched arrangement of the channels.

Die von den freien Enden der Borsten 5 und der Rippen 6 gebildete Hüllfläche weist ebenfalls eine etwa rohrförmige Gestalt auf, wobei sich die Rippen 6 zum freien Ende des Funktionsteiles 3 hin verjüngen.The functional part 3 has a bristle carrier 4 from which a number of bristles 5 and ribs 6 protrude. The bristle carrier 4, similar to the functional part 3, has a tubular shape and is elongated. The bristles 5 and the ribs 6 project approximately radially from the bristle carrier 4. The envelope surface formed by the free ends of the bristles 5 and the ribs 6 also has an approximately tubular shape, the ribs 6 tapering towards the free end of the functional part 3.

Der Borstenträger 4 setzt sich aus zwei Halbschalen 7, 8 zusammen, die sich beide etwa über die gesamte Länge des Funktionsteiles 3 erstrekken und in Umfangsrichtung jeweils etwa 180 Grad, also jeweils etwa die Hälfte des Borstenträgers 4 ausmachen. Am freien Ende des Funktionsteiles 3 ist ein Endstück 9 vorgesehen, in das die beiden Halbschalen 7, 8 übergehen. Von der Halbschale 7 stehen die Borsten 5 ab, während von der Halbschale 8 die Rippen 6 abstehen. Die Borsten 5 und die Rippen 6 stehen somit in Umfangsrichtung jeweils nur in einem Bereich von etwa 180 Grad von dem Borstenträger 4 ab.The bristle carrier 4 is composed of two half-shells 7, 8, both of which extend approximately over the entire length of the functional part 3 and each make up approximately 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, that is to say approximately half of the bristle carrier 4. At the free end of the functional part 3, an end piece 9 is provided, in which the two Pass over half-shells 7, 8. The bristles 5 protrude from the half-shell 7, while the ribs 6 protrude from the half-shell 8. The bristles 5 and the ribs 6 thus only protrude from the bristle carrier 4 in the circumferential direction only in an area of approximately 180 degrees.

Die beiden Halbschalen 7, 8 sind im Querschnitt mit zwei unterschiedlichen Radien R1, R2 versehen. Der Radius R1 der beborsteten Halbschale 7 ist kleiner als der Radius R2 der gerippten Halbschale 8. Der Radius R1 weist im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel einen Wert von 17 mm auf und der Radius R2 einen Wert von 40 mm; es versteht sich, daß bei anders ausgestalteten Ausführungsbeispielen davon abweichende Werte vorhanden sein können.The two half-shells 7, 8 are provided with two different radii R1, R2 in cross section. The radius R1 of the bristled half-shell 7 is smaller than the radius R2 of the ribbed half-shell 8. In the present exemplary embodiment, the radius R1 has a value of 17 mm and the radius R2 has a value of 40 mm; It goes without saying that values may differ in the case of differently designed exemplary embodiments.

In den beiden Übergangsbereichen, in denen die beiden Halbschalen 7, 8 in Umfangsrichtung jeweils ineinander übergehen, ist ein Radius R3 vorgesehen, der kleiner ist als jeder der beiden bereits erwähnten Radien R1, R2. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel weist der Radius R3 jeweils einen Wert von etwa 3,5 mm auf; es versteht sich, daß bei anderen Ausführungsbeispielen andere Werte vorgesehen sein können.In the two transition regions, in which the two half-shells 7, 8 each merge into one another in the circumferential direction, a radius R3 is provided which is smaller than each of the two radii R1, R2 already mentioned. In the present exemplary embodiment, the radius R3 in each case has a value of approximately 3.5 mm; it goes without saying that other values can be provided in other exemplary embodiments.

Die Borsten 5, die von der Halbschale 7 abstehen, sind in Umfangsrichtung nicht auf einer Umfangslinie, sondern versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Die Borsten 5 sind dabei derart zueinander angeordnet, daß sie bei dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel in Umfangsrichtung eine Bogenlinie bilden. Bei anderen Ausführungsbeispielen ist es auch möglich, daß die Borsten 5 in Umfangsrichtung eine Schlangenlinie oder eine schräge Linie bilden.The bristles 5, which protrude from the half-shell 7, are not arranged in the circumferential direction on a circumferential line, but offset from one another. The bristles 5 are arranged relative to one another in such a way that in the present exemplary embodiment they form an arc line in the circumferential direction. In other exemplary embodiments, it is also possible for the bristles 5 to form a serpentine line or an oblique line in the circumferential direction.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind in Umfangsrichtung fünf Borsten 5 in einer Reihe angeordnet und über einen Bereich von etwas weniger als 180 Grad etwa regelmäßig auf der Halbschale 7 verteilt. In Längsrichtung der Halbschale 7 sind zweiundzwanzig derartige Reihen in regelmäßigen Abständen vorgesehen, wobei immer abwechselnd eine Reihe mit langen Borsten 5 und zwei Reihen mit kürzeren Borsten 5 miteinander abwechseln. Die kürzeren Borsten 5 bestehen aus Metall und die längeren Borsten 5 bestehen aus Kunststoff. Die erste und die letzte Reihe in Längsrichtung ist mit langen Borsten 5 aus Kunststoff versehen. Von Vorteil bestehen die Borsten der beiden seitlich außen liegenden Reihen nur aus Kunststoff, um zu vermeiden, daß der Benutzer mit den auf relativ hohe Temperaturen aufgeheizten Metallborsten unmittelbar in Kontakt kommt. Diese äußeren Borstenreihen schirmen die inneren, auch mit Metallborsten ausgestatteten Borstenreihen ab.In the present exemplary embodiment, five bristles 5 are arranged in a row in the circumferential direction and are distributed approximately regularly on the half-shell 7 over a range of somewhat less than 180 degrees. Twenty-two such rows are provided at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the half-shell 7, a row with long bristles 5 and two rows with shorter bristles 5 always alternating with one another. The shorter bristles 5 are made of metal and the longer bristles 5 are made of plastic. The first and last rows in the longitudinal direction are provided with long bristles 5 made of plastic. Advantageously, the bristles of the two rows lying on the outside are only made of plastic, in order to avoid that the user comes into direct contact with the metal bristles heated to relatively high temperatures. These outer rows of bristles shield the inner rows of bristles, which are also equipped with metal bristles.

Die Borsten 5 sind in der Form von in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Borstenleisten in der Halbschale 7 gehalten und durch entsprechende Bohrungen in der Halbschale 7 hindurchgesteckt. Die Borstenleisten mit den kurzen Borsten 5 bestehen daher aus Metall und die Borstenleisten mit den langen Borsten 5 aus Kunststoff. Die Halbschale 7 selbst ist aus Metall hergestellt.The bristles 5 are held in the form of longitudinally extending bristle strips in the half-shell 7 and inserted through corresponding bores in the half-shell 7. The bristle strips with the short bristles 5 are therefore made of metal and the bristle strips with the long bristles 5 are made of plastic. The half-shell 7 itself is made of metal.

Die von der Halbschale 8 abstehenden Rippen 6 sind in Umfangsrichtung, also quer zur Längsrichtung des Borstenträgers 4 angeordnet. Die Rippen 6 weisen in Längsrichtung einen regelmäßigen Abstand voneinander auf, der etwa 3 mm beträgt. Die Rippen 6 besitzen, in Richtung der Längsachse des Borstenträgers 4 betrachtet, eine etwa sichelförmige Gestalt und erstrecken sich in Umfangsrichtung in einem Bereich von etwa 180 Grad. Die Höhe der Rippen 6 ist bei der dem Griffteil 2 zugewandten ersten Rippe 6 am größten und nimmt etwa kontinuierlich bis zur letzten Rippe 6 am freien Ende des Borstenträgers 4 ab. Dabei ist das seitliche Rippenende so ausgestaltet, daß der Benutzer nicht mit dem Metalleinsatz in Kontakt kommen kann und somit vor etwaigen schmerzhaften Berührungen mit dem Metalleinsatz geschützt ist.The ribs 6 protruding from the half-shell 8 are arranged in the circumferential direction, that is to say transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bristle carrier 4. The ribs 6 are at a regular distance from one another in the longitudinal direction, which is approximately 3 mm. The ribs 6, viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the bristle carrier 4, have an approximately crescent shape and extend in the circumferential direction in a range of approximately 180 degrees. The height of the ribs 6 is greatest in the first rib 6 facing the handle part 2 and decreases approximately continuously up to the last rib 6 at the free end of the bristle carrier 4. The lateral rib end is designed so that the user cannot come into contact with the metal insert and is therefore protected against any painful contact with the metal insert.

Die Halbschale 8 und die davon abstehenden Rippen 6 bestehen aus Kunststoff, insbesondere aus Polyamid, und sind als einstückiges Spritzgußbauteil hergestellt.The half-shell 8 and the ribs 6 projecting therefrom are made of plastic, in particular polyamide, and are produced as a one-piece injection-molded component.
