Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a method for applying an active substance to scalp and an apparatus for implementing said method.
  • liquid active solution can be easily kept at the optimal temperature to maximize the phenomena of absorption of the active substance.
  • the purpose of the present invention consists in providing a method for applying to the scalp of an individual an active substance, which method is capable of obviating the above said drawbacks, i.e.:
  • Spraying the liquid active solution by means of a plurality of jets arranged along the surface of scalp secures that the sprayed solution and scalp will come into mutual contact in an optimal way. Furthermore, solution spraying also performs a massaging action which is relaxing and consequently synergistic for absorption of active substance.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention is preferably useable for applying an active substance to scalp, preferably before, after, or during a possible shampooing.
  • the apparatus (1) essentially comprises a shower-like delivery device (2), a jet delivery device (3), a receiver tray (4) to receive the liquid delivered by the delivery device, a pump (5), a heat exchanger (6), or a preferably electric-powered heating means, a first (7), a second (8) and a third (9) solenoid, a tank (10) and an emptying pump (11) connected with an emptying hose (19).
  • the shower-like delivery device (2) comprises a first (12) and a second (13) delivery means, and a splash-preventing hair-dryer (14).
  • the first delivery means (12) generates a jet, which can be referred to as the "main jet", which is constituted by a plurality of parallel, closely approached gushings.
  • the second delivery means (13) is constituted by two bent tube portions (13A), having along their length, small-diameter bores, equally spaced apart from each other.
  • the delivery means (13) generates a jet which can be defined as being the "secondary jet” which is constituted by a plurality of spaced apart gushings, substantially converging at the centre of the hair-dryer (14) which performs the function of collecting delivered water and driving it to the receiver tray (4) in which it is collected.
  • the hair-dryer (14) and the delivery means (12) and (13) are supported by telescopic arms (15) which are hinged in (16) to the hair-dryer (14), and in (17) to the receiver tray (4) which preferably is a traditional shampooing basin.
  • the jet delivery device (3) delivers one single gushing according to the same modalities as of a traditional tap. It is usually used in order to recirculate the liquid active solution during the initial treatment steps, so that said solution can rapidly increase in temperature up to reach the envisaged treatment temperature (usually comprised within the range of from 35° to 38°) and becomes homogeneous, so that the active substance(s) may best dissolve in the liquid carrier substance (water).
  • the apparatus furthermore comprises a control unit (21), which may also comprise means to perform the treatment according to an automated procedure.
  • the operating way of the apparatus (1) for applying an active substance to scalp is as follows.
  • the active substance is poured into the receiver tray together with a liquid carrier substance, so as to obtain, by mixing, the liquid active solution.
  • the first solenoid valve (7) is closed to prevent the solution, which can at least partially collect inside the tray (4), from draining into the storage tank (10).
  • the pump (5) and the heat exchanger (6) are enabled; both solenoid valves (8) and (9) or, however, at least either of them, are opened, thus making it possible the liquid active solution to be delivered through the devices (2) and (3).
  • the delivered solution falls into the receiver tray (4) from which it is sent to the pump (5) which recycles it.
  • the heat exchanger (6) increases the temperature of the liquid active solution up to the programmed temperature (usually equal to body temperature) and keeps said solution at that temperature throughout the necessary time for the treatment to be carried out.
  • the treatment can be started up.
  • the second solenoid valve (8) is closed and the third solenoid valve (9) is left opened.
  • the individual to be treated enters her/his head into the hair-dryer and the streams generated by the first (12) and the second (13) delivery means wet scalp. Thanks to the hinges (16) and (17), the position of the delivery means (12) and (13) relatively to scalp can be varied as a function of the position of the head of the individual and also during the treatment, so as to enable a large area of scalp to be submitted to the desired treatment.
  • the liquid active solution leaving the scalp of the individual under treatment gathers inside the tray (4), is possibly filtered by the (usually present) filter (18), and is recycled by the pump (6). By flowing through the heat exchanger (6), the solution, if so necessary, is heated again up to the programmed treatment temperature.
  • the storage tank can contain a plurality of doses of liquid active solution, and therefore it makes it possible a plurality of applications to be carried out with no interruptions.
  • the method for applying an active substance to the scalp of an individual under treatment which can be implemented by means of the just disclosed apparatus essentially comprises the following steps:
  • the rinsing can be carried out a plurality of times by means of the same liquid substance.
  • the massage undergone by scalp transmits a relax feeling to the treated individual, which contributes to further improve the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • the storage tank (10) When the storage tank (10) is full, it can be emptied by actuating the pump (11) which expels the liquid solution through the hose (19) suitably hydraulically collected to a drain.
  • the apparatus of the invention is a second embodiment mainly designed for shampooing and for being installed with no need for it to be hydraulically connected to a drinkwater source and to the sanitation for draining exhausted liquid solutions.
  • the apparatus (1A) of the second embodiment also comprises a non-return valve (22A), a storage tank (23A) for containing clean water, a pump (24A) for emptying said water storage tank (23A).
  • the heat exchanger (6A) is so arranged as to display two heating bodies, respectively indicated with (25A) the first one, and, respectively, (26A) the second one.
  • the heating bodies (25A) and (26A) are of the type which subdivide the incoming stream into two partial streams which are then combined again at heat exchanger outlet, with an optimal effectiveness being thus obtained with all other conditions being the same.
  • the apparatus (1A) operates as follows. Clean water, drawn from tank (23A) is driven by the pump (24A) (arrow “F") through the non-return valve (22A), the first heating body (25A), the recycle pump (5A) (which is not operating), and it finally enters the shampooing basin (4A), filling it.
  • the amount of water to be pumped at the temperature to which it must be heated in the first heating body (25A), can be established either manually or automatically through the control unit (21A), as a function of the cycle to be realized.
  • the first solenoid valve (7A) i.e., the drain valve
  • is closed thus preventing pumped water from flowing, by gravity, to the storage tank for the used liquid solution (10A).
  • the active substance (preferably a shampoo) is added to water contained in shampooing basin (4A).
  • the recycle pump (5A) is started up and the liquid active solution flows (arrow “G") through the second heating body (26A) (which, if so needed, further heats it, so as to keep it constantly at the programmed temperature), the third solenoid valve (9A), the second jet delivery device (3A) (arrow “H"), and then returns back to the receiver basin (4A), from which it came.
  • the liquid active solution is delivered as jets from the first delivery means (12A) (arrow “L"), wetting the head of the patient.
  • the first solenoid valve (7A) is opened and the second (8A) and third (9A) solenoid valves are closed; the by now exhausted liquid active solution is drained into the storage tank (10A).
  • the possible emptying of tank (10A) is carried out by connecting the emptying hose (19A) to the sanitation and subsequently starting up the emptying pump (11A).
  • balsamic substances can be added to rinse water which, delivered a plurality of times to hair and scalp, even if in relatively small amount, perform considerably advantageous effects which are usually not obtained with a simple single-passage rinse, therefore not foreseeable in advance.
  • a further advantage is that the machine can automatically operate according to the cycle as selected by the operator, with no risks for the individual who is being submitted to treatment. Therefore, the attending operator may limit her/himself to monitor the apparatus, thus remaining free of performing other tasks during the same machine operating.
  • the apparatus (1A) has substantially the same appearance as that of the machine of Figure 2, while displaying the following advantageous features: it can be moved to those areas of the operating premises in which it is necessary, does not require that the furnishings of the shop in which it is designed to operate are modified, and can be sequentially used by more persons.
  • the apparatus according to the present invention is a third embodiment of the invention mainly designed for shampooing and for being installed either hydraulically connected with a drinkwater supply and with a drain fitting for exhausted liquors, or not connected either to the drinkwater supply and to exhausted liquids drain.
  • the machine By connecting the first (27B) and the second (28) tubular portions, the machine can operate by receiving water directly from water supply system and draining it directly to the sanitation without using the tanks (23B) and (10B). If so desired, according to an alternative operating way, the presence of tanks (10B) and (23B) makes it also possible the apparatus to draw fresh water and drain exhausted liquors, similarly to apparatus (1A).
  • the outer appearance of the apparatus (1B) is substantially equivalent to the apparatus displayed in Figure 2.
  • the operating way is substantially similar to the operating way of apparatus (1A).
  • the apparatus of the invention is a fourth embodiment mainly designed for shampooing and for being installed only hydraulically connected with a drinkwater supply and a drain point for exhausted liquors.
  • the operating way of the apparatus (1C) is substantially analogous to the operating way of the apparatus (1B) when the latter does not use tanks (10B) and (23B).
  • the apparatus (1C) results to be particularly advantageous because, besides advantageously operating like the embodiments discussed hereinabove, its overall dimensions are smaller than of each of them, and thus it requires less room. It can be directly fastened to the wall of the shop, and can also be aesthetically integrated with the existing furnishing.
  • the apparatuses (1A)-(1C) were equipped with corresponding delivery means (12A)-(12C) of simplified type, which resulted to be more suitable for head shampooing.
  • said delivery means (12A)-(12C) can be replaced by the delivery means indicated with (12) in Figure 1 which, as one will see from said Figure, is also provided with second delivery means (13A).
