Definitions
- the invention relates to a front part, in particular for time-dependent deflection of a Air flow, in particular a pulsator or the like, for a device for Treatment of hair by air flow, especially for a hair dryer or the like, wherein the device has a housing in the means for generating of the air flow are housed and the opening for the exit of the Airflow has, the attachment part one, in particular with the opening of the Housing couplable inlet opening, an outlet opening and one by means has limited, air-flowable interior.
- Such a front part for a hair dryer is for example from the US 4,132,360.
- the front part is designed as a short tube, in the Inside a propeller-like wing is mounted.
- the axis of rotation is in the longitudinal direction the tube and thus the air flow of the hair dryer arranged and the wing is aligned at an angle of about 70 degrees to this longitudinal direction.
- the air flow flows through the front part and rotates the wing. In this way the air flow becomes rotating deflected and an air flow is felt which is pulsating for the user.
- a disadvantage of the known front part is in particular that for the wing required storage in terms of production requires a lot of effort and the Assembly of the known front part is complicated. In the following pulsation should in particular essentially a time-varying distraction or a time controlled, at least partial interruption of the from the hair dryer escaping air flow can be understood.
- the object of the invention is to provide a front part with which a pulsating Airflow can be generated, the attachment part in terms of manufacture and However, assembly is as simple as possible.
- This object is essentially achieved in that at one Front part of the type mentioned in the interior is essentially free movable, in particular approximately spherical body is caught.
- the spherical body provided according to the invention does not require any special bearings in the header. No effort is required for such bearings.
- the manufacture and Assembly of the front part is much easier, requires less material and is therefore cheaper overall.
- the free according to the invention Mobility of the spherical body within the interior has in switched on condition of the hair dryer that the flowing through the interior Air flow sets the body in motion. This movement causes one Deflection of the air flow, so that a time-dependent variable on the user Airflow acts.
- Such an air flow has the advantage, among other things, that it does treating hair is loosened and thus dried faster by the air flow can be.
- the invention thus provides a front part for a hair dryer With which a time-varying air flow can be generated without this requires special storage of a component.
- the interior is designed such that the body in the interior by the air flow in an approximately circular path Movement is displaceable, the plane formed by the circular path approximately transverse to Direction of air flow is arranged. Due to the circular movement of the spherical Body becomes a temporal when the hair dryer is switched on rotating displacement of the air flow is reached. This is considered pleasant by the user felt and also increases the effect of the air flow on the person to be treated Hair, especially for more even loosening and faster Drying the hair.
- the interior is approximately rotationally symmetrical, the axis of symmetry essentially in Direction of air flow is arranged. In this way, the circular path Movement of the spherical body favors. Furthermore, the rotationally symmetrical design of the interior manufacturing advantages.
- the interior of a grid permeable to the air flow or the like that starts out protrudes from the outlet opening, in particular approximately hemispherically into the interior. The interior is limited by the grid so that the spherical body already at a low flow velocity of the air flow in one movement is transferred.
- the air permeability of the grille largely avoids that Airflow from the grille is significantly impeded.
- the hemispherical Design of the grille favors that the body through the air flow into the circular movement is offset.
- the grille in the direction of the air flow or the two half-shells of the front part are displaceable against each other.
- This can in particular the diameter of the circular movement of the spherical Body can be reduced or enlarged.
- This has an enlargement or reduction the rotational speed of the body in the interior of the front part Episode. For the user, this means that by moving the grid one can set faster or slower pulsation of the air flow.
- the interior is for permeable to the air flow, in particular webs or circular rings the like limited in the area of the inlet opening approximately transverse to the direction of Air flow are arranged.
- the webs ensure that the spherical body is safely caught in the interior and cannot easily fall out.
- the Air permeability of the webs prevents the air flow from being obstructed.
- the interior of two, in particular approximately frustoconical or bell-shaped or trumpet-shaped domed shells bounded together especially at their larger circumferences are connected.
- the shells ensure a rotationally symmetrical design of the interior and thus bring about the already explained circular movement of the spherical body.
- the bowls are simple manufacture and also have advantages in terms of the design of the front part. A further cost saving can be achieved in that the two shells are identical.
- the means for limiting the interior are made from transparent material, for example from transparent plastic and / or the spherical body is colored, in particular by means of thermochromic Paints.
- the rotation of the spherical body in the interior of the front part is based on this way made visible to the user. This simplifies the user Operation or understanding of the functioning of the front part, for example regarding the setting of the pulsation frequency of the air flow.
- the invention can be implemented in two ways. For one thing, it is possible that the opening of the housing and the inlet opening of the front part form one piece or are inextricably linked. The pulsator is therefore firmly in the hair dryer integrated. On the other hand, it is possible that the opening of the housing and the Inlet opening of the front part, for example by means of a bayonet catch or the like are separably connected. This means that the front part of the housing can be separated as required. The pulsator can be used by that Hair dryer removed and the hair dryer can therefore be used without the pulsator operate.
- FIG. 1 The only figure of the drawing shows a schematic representation of a Pulsator according to the invention for a hair dryer in a side view.
- the pulsator shown in the figure is designed in the form of a front part 1, that can be paired with a hair dryer.
- the hair dryer has a housing in which means for generating an air flow 2 are housed, in particular an electrically driven blower.
- the airflow 2 emerges from the housing of the hair dryer through a circular opening, whereby the opening is provided with means for coupling to the front part 1.
- the front part 1 is approximately tubular and has one on its end faces Inlet opening 3 and an outlet opening 4.
- the inlet opening 3 is with a Bayonet lock 5 provided for coupling to the opening of the housing.
- the Front part 1 is fixed with the help of the bayonet catch 5 with the hair dryer connected.
- the air stream 2 emerging from the opening of the hair dryer thus occurs through the inlet opening 3 into the front part 1, flows through the front part 1 in it Longitudinal direction and leaves the front part 1 through the outlet opening 4th
- the front part 1 contains means for delimiting an interior space 6. These means belong two shells 7, 8, a grid 9 and webs 10. The means are such formed that the interior 6 to the longitudinal direction of the front part 1 and thus to Direction of the air flow 2 is rotationally symmetrical.
- the shells 7, 8 are frustoconical. Their diameter enlarged or thus shrinks in the direction of the air flow 2. With their larger diameters the two shells 7, 8 are firmly connected.
- the smaller diameter of the Shell 7 forms the inlet opening 3 and is provided with the bayonet lock 5.
- Of the smaller diameter of the shell 8 forms the outlet opening 4 of the front part 1.
- Die Shells are made in particular from heat-resistant plastic and can additionally be transparent.
- the grid 9 is hemispherical and projects from the outlet opening 4 into the interior 6 of the front part 1.
- the grid 9 is permeable to air and the hemispherical shape of the grid 9 has a diameter of about corresponds to the smaller diameter of the shell 8.
- the grid 9 is in one annular holding part 11 held, the diameter of which is also approximately the smaller Diameter of the shell 8 corresponds.
- the holding part 11 is in the region of the outlet opening 4 of the front part 1 is arranged displaceably in the direction of the air flow 2.
- the grating 9 can also be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the front part 1 and thus in Direction of the air flow 2 are shifted. This is in the figure with the Reference number 12 marked.
- the webs 10 are in the region of the inlet opening 3 approximately transversely to the direction of Airflow 2 arranged.
- the webs 10 are spaced apart from one another, so that the air stream 2 can pass through. They are designed as a circular ring that an opening for the unhindered passage of the air stream 2 remains.
- the Crosspieces 10 can be made of flexible material. However, the webs 10 can also pointing radially to the central axis, in particular arranged diametrically to one another, in individual cases the circular ring can be omitted.
- the webs 10 can consist of flexible material, wherein the body 13 for example by means of a tool, e.g. B. a stamp or the like, or can be introduced into the interior 6 by hand.
- a spherical body 13 In the interior 6 is a spherical body 13, in particular a ball or the like caught.
- the body 13 has a diameter that is approximately the distance corresponds to the grid 9 of the webs 10.
- the diameter of the body 13 is larger than the opening left by the webs 10.
- the body 13 consists of a as light and heat-resistant material as possible, for example made of plastic.
- the body 13 can be designed in color, in particular with the aid of thermochromic paints, the color of which changes depending on the temperature.
- the body 13 is freely movable in the interior 6.
- the freedom of movement of the Body 13 is limited only by the shells 7, 8, the grid 9 and the webs 10.
- the body 13 touches the grid 9 at a point 14 and the shell 7 at a point 15.
- the air flow 2 acts on the body 13 on.
- the body 13 is set into a circular path-shaped movement becomes.
- This movement is essentially caused by the grid 9 and the shell 7 certainly.
- the points of contact of the body 13 with the grid 9 and the shell 7 each form a circle through points 14 and 15, with those from the circles formed level and thus also the circular motion of the body 13 formed plane is arranged approximately transversely to the direction of the air flow 2.
- the air stream 2 entering through the inlet opening 3 is in this way by the Body 13 distracted. Due to the circular movement of the body 13 in Inner space 6 of the front part 1, the air flow 2 becomes rotation-like and thus pulsating distracted.
- the speed of the circular motion of the spherical body 13 in the interior 6 of the front part 1 depends in particular on the dimensioning of the hemispherical lattice 9 and on the strength of the air flow 2.
- a appropriate dimensioning in particular the diameter of the body 13, can be prevented by the body 13 an additional, the air flow 2, remarkable flow resistance is opposed. This is also the case with the Dimensioning of the grid spacing of the grid 9 and the spacing of the webs 10 to consider.
- the air flow 2 in the hair dryer is usually by a rotating fan is generated, the air flow 2 does not flow straight into the front part 1, but has at least a slightly twisted or screw-like movement. This has the result that the spherical body 13 in the attachment 1 when switching on Hair dryer from the air flow 2 to the circular motion explained is initiated.
- the pulsator and the Hair dryer are two independent objects that can be created using the Bayonet lock can be coupled or separated from each other.
- the invention can also be implemented in that the pulsator and the hair dryer are formed in one piece, that is, they cannot be separated from one another.
