Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme einer Haarsträhne und eines Haarfärbemittels für den Haarfärbevorgang mit einer Haarfärbetülle aus zwei schalenförmigen Segmenten, wobei die beiden schalenförmigen Segmente der Haarfärbetülle zu einem Becher angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a device for receiving a Lock of hair and a hair dye for the hair dyeing process with a hair dye spout made of two bowl-shaped segments, the two bowl-shaped segments of the hair dye spout are arranged to a cup.

Derartige Vorrichtungen dienen zum Färben von einzelnen Haarpartien und lassen sich an beliebigen Stellen der Kopfbehaarung anwenden.Such devices are used for coloring individual Sections of hair and can be placed anywhere on the Apply head hair.

Klassischen Färbetechniken erfolgen mit der Strähnenhaube oder mit einer Alufolie.Classic dyeing techniques are done with the streak hood or with an aluminum foil.

Aus der DE-GM 17 81 917 geht eine gattungsgemäße Haarfärbetülle hervor, die aus einem schalenförmigen Gefäß, insbesondere aus Kunststoff besteht. Das Gefäß weist einen Schlitz zum Durchstecken einer Haarsträhne auf, der sich vom Boden des Gefäßes durch dessen Wand fortsetzt. Das Verschließen des Bodenschlitzes erfolgt mittels einer Klemmvorrichtung, die aus einem U-förmigen Federbügel besteht, dessen beide Schenkel sich parallel zum Bodenschlitz erstrecken. Die aus dem Becherboden herausragenden Enden der Schenkel sind mit einer kompliziert zu verschließenden Schließvorrichtung versehen, insbesondere mit einem Haken, in den das andere Bügelende eingehakt werden muß. Die Klemmvorrichtung wird in den Werkstoff des Kunststoffgefäßes eingebettet. Um ein sicheres Schließen des Wandschlitzes zu gewährleisten, sind in der Wand des Gefäßes eine oder mehrere Spangen eingebettet. Nachteilig an dieser Vorrichtung sind der komplizierte Aufbau der Schließvorrichtung sowie die durch deren Anordnung erforderlichen Spangen in den Wänden. Die Verschlusseinrichtung lässt sich lediglich beidhändig verschließen. Aufgrund dessen ist eine Anwendung dieser Vorrichtung durch eine Person nur unter außerordentlichen Schwierigkeiten möglich, da beim Verschließen die Vorrichtung auch gleichzeitig in ihrer Position gehalten werden muß.DE-GM 17 81 917 is a generic hair dye spout emerged from a bowl-shaped vessel, in particular is made of plastic. The vessel has a slit to push a strand of hair up that is off the floor of the vessel continues through its wall. The closing the bottom slot is made by means of a clamping device, which consists of a U-shaped spring clip, both of which Legs extend parallel to the bottom slot. From the ends of the legs protruding from the cup base a complicated locking device provided, in particular with a hook into which the other End of the bracket must be hooked. The clamping device is in embedded the material of the plastic container. To a ensure that the wall slot is securely closed one or more clips in the wall of the vessel embedded.

Aus der DE 81 35 616 U1 ist ferner eine Fixierklammer für das Bleichen von Kopfhaarsträhnen mit zwei durch ein insbesondere als Angusscharniergelenk verschwenkbar miteinander verbundenen Klammerschenkeln und einer die beiden Klammerschenkel in geschlossener Stellung sichernden Verschlusseinrichtung bekannt. Die im Querschnitt L-förmigen Klammerschenkel bilden im geschlossenen Zustand einen einseitig offenen Kastenkörper. Aus dieser Geometrie resultiert, dass die Fixierklammern bestimmten Setzschemata unterworfen sind und daher, wie bei den klassischen Färbeverfahren, die Farbe nicht stets auf den gewünschten Bereich der Kopfbehaarung aufgebracht werden kann. Die Verschlusseinrichtung ist als streifenförmige Verschlusskappe oder Klemmlasche ausgestaltet, deren Außenende als ein mit einem Griffteil versehener Einschnapphaken gestaltet ist. Die Verschlusseinrichtung ist über ein weiteres Angusscharnier an einem der Klammerschenkel angelenkt. Zwar lässt sich die Vorrichtung bereits von einer Person handhaben, jedoch die Verschlusskappe mit dem Griffteil nur unter Schwierigkeiten einhändig verschließen, da mit einer Hand gleichzeitig die Fixierklammer gehalten und die Verschlusskappe um das weitere Angusscharnier geschwenkt werden muß.From DE 81 35 616 U1 there is also a fixing clip for bleaching strands of hair with two by one especially pivotable as a hinge joint interconnected clamp legs and one the secure both clamp legs in the closed position Closure device known. The L-shaped in cross section Clamp legs form one when closed box body open on one side. From this geometry results in the fixing brackets having certain setting schemes are subject and therefore, as with the classic Dyeing process, the color is not always the desired one Area of the head hair can be applied. The Closure device is as strip-shaped Cap or clip designed, whose Outer end as a handle part Snap hook is designed. The locking device is via another sprue hinge on one of the Bracket legs articulated. Although the device can already handled by one person, but the Cap with the handle part only with difficulty close with one hand, because with one hand the Fixing clip held and the cap around the additional sprue hinge must be pivoted.

Die beiden schalenförmigen Segmente der Haarfärbetülle bestehen vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, insbesondere einem Thermoplasten. Die Haarfärbetülle ist an der Oberseite offen. Dadurch kann die durch Oxidation entstehende Wärme, direkt abgeführt werden. Weiterhin können Reaktionsgase ungehindert abziehen. Infolgedessen wird die Haarstruktur nur minimal belastet.The two bowl-shaped segments of the hair dye spout are preferably made of plastic, especially one Thermoplastics. The hair dye spout is open at the top. This allows the heat generated by oxidation to be generated directly be dissipated. Furthermore, reaction gases can be unhindered pull it off. As a result, the hair structure only minimal burden.

  • Suitable for all hair lengths.
  • Safe dyeing because no dye can escape.
  • Environmentally friendly dyeing because the device is reusable.
  • Very good wetting of the hair with colorant, which saves approx. 30% of colorant compared to the classic dyeing process.
  • Easy removal of the devices after the dyeing process. As a result, most of the colorant is already removed. This means that only about half of the rinsing water is required compared to the classic methods.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche.Advantageous refinements of the invention result from the characteristics of the subclaims.

Nachfolgend wird die Vorrichtung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 1 und 2 näher erläutert: In the following, the device is based on a Embodiment with reference to Figures 1 and 2 explained in more detail:

Die becherförmige Vorrichtung besteht aus zwei schalenförmigen Segmenten 6, 7, die über ein Filmscharnier 1 miteinander verbunden sind. Bei der Anwendung wird die zu färbende Strähne zwischen die beiden schalenförmigen Segmente 6, 7 geführt und in die becherförmige Anordnung (vgl. Figur 1) gebracht. Die beiden schalenförmigen Segmente 6, 7 werden in der Endlage des geschlossenen Bechers mit einer insgesamt mit 2a, 2b bezeichneten, lösbaren Schnappverbindung fixiert und umschließen in dieser Lage die Strähne unmittelbar über dem Haaransatz. Nun kann das Färbemittel direkt auf die Strähne aufgebracht werden und die getränkte Strähne in dem geschlossenen Becher abgelegt werden. Ein Austreten der Färbemasse verhindert beispielsweise eine Kunststoffweichkomponente an den Rändern (14, 15) sowie der bodenseitigen Kontaktfläche (16) zwischen den beiden schalenförmigen Segmenten (6, 7).The cup-shaped device consists of two bowl-shaped Segments 6, 7 connected to each other via a film hinge 1 are connected. When used, the one to be colored Streak between the two bowl-shaped segments 6, 7 guided and into the cup-shaped arrangement (see FIG. 1) brought. The two bowl-shaped segments 6, 7 are in the end position of the closed cup with a total fixed with 2a, 2b, releasable snap connection and in this position enclose the strand immediately above the hairline. Now the dye can be applied directly to the Streak are applied and the soaked streak in the closed cups. An exit of the Coloring compound prevents, for example Plastic soft component on the edges (14, 15) and the bottom-side contact surface (16) between the two bowl-shaped segments (6, 7).

Nach Ablauf der Einwirkdauer wird die Vorrichtung einfach im geschlossenen Zustand des Bechers von der Strähne abgezogen. Die Kunststoffweichkomponente dient als Abstreifer für das Färbemittel. Anschließend kann die Schnappverbindung 2a, 2b problemlos wieder gelöst werden, um einen guten Zugang für die Reinigung der Vorrichtung zu gewährleisten und sie für den nächsten Einsatz vorzubereiten. Die Handhabung der Vorrichtung kann ausschließlich einhändig erfolgen. Dies ermöglicht dem Frisör während der gesamten Anwendung mit der anderen Hand die Strähne oder das Färbemittel zu handhaben, d. h. der vollständige Färbevorgang kann von einer Person durchgeführt werden.After the exposure time, the device is simply in closed state of the cup pulled off the lock. The plastic soft component serves as a wiper for the Colorant. Then the snap connection 2a, 2b can be easily resolved to good access for to ensure the cleaning of the device and for it prepare for the next mission. Handling the device can only be done with one hand. this makes possible the hairdresser throughout the application with the other hand to handle the strand or the dye, d. H. the complete dyeing process can be done by one person be performed.

In Figur 2 ist erkennbar, dass der Boden 4, 5 der beiden schalenförmigen Segmente 6, 7 vollständig aus einem Elastomer besteht, während die Wände 9, 10 der schalenförmigen Segmente 6, 7 aus einem gegenüber den Böden 4, 5 härteren Thermoplasten bestehen. In Figure 2 it can be seen that the bottom 4, 5 of the two bowl-shaped segments 6, 7 completely from one Elastomer is made, while the walls 9, 10 of the bowl-shaped segments 6, 7 from a compared to the floors 4, 5 harder thermoplastics exist.

In einer in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es möglich, dass das Filmscharnier 1 aus demselben Elastomer wie die Böden 4, 5 besteht. In diesem Fall weist das Filmscharnier 2 die schalenförmigen Segmente einfassende Stege auf. Gegenüberliegend von einem derart ausgebildeten Filmscharnier kann dann an dem Boden 4 oder dem Boden 5 eine Dichtlippe aus dem- selben Elastomer angeformt sein, die den Schlitz 3 in der Wand des geschlossenen Bechers (Figur 1) bodennah unterhalb der Schnappverbindung (2a, 2b) überdeckt.In an embodiment not shown in the figures the invention it is possible that the film hinge 1 the same elastomer as the bottoms 4, 5. In this In this case, the film hinge 2 has the cup-shaped segments bordering webs. Opposite one of such trained film hinge can then on the bottom 4 or the bottom 5 a sealing lip made of the same elastomer be formed, the slot 3 in the wall of the closed cup (Figure 1) near the floor below the Snap connection (2a, 2b) covered.

Die insgesamt mit 2a, 2b bezeichnete, lösbare Schnappverbindung wird von einer Rastnase 11 und einer die Rastnase 11 übergreifenden Schließlasche 12 mit einem endseitigen Vorsprung 13 gebildet, der die Rastnase 11, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, im geschlossenen Zustand des Bechers hintergreift. Die Rastnase 11 ist an dem in Figur 2 linken schalenförmigen Segment 6 und die Schließlasche 12 an dem rechten schalenförmigen Segment 7 jeweils an deren Rändern 14, 15 angeordnet. Die beiden Ränder 14, 15 begrenzen den Schlitz 3 in der Wand des geschlossenen Bechers (vgl. Figur 1).The detachable snap connection, designated overall by 2a, 2b is by a locking lug 11 and the locking lug 11th comprehensive locking tab 12 with an end projection 13 formed, the latch 11, as shown in Figure 1, reaches behind in the closed state of the cup. The locking lug 11 is bowl-shaped on the left in FIG. 2 Segment 6 and the locking tab 12 on the right bowl-shaped segment 7 each at the edges 14, 15 arranged. The two edges 14, 15 delimit the slot 3 in the wall of the closed cup (see FIG. 1).

Die Schließlasche 12 nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 2 überdeckt den Schlitz 3 nur teilweise. In einem in den Figuren nicht gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel überdeckt die Schließlasche 12 den Schlitz 3 vollständig, soweit er nicht bereits durch die ebenfalls nicht dargestellte bodennahe Dichtlippe überdeckt ist. Durch diese Maßnahme ergibt sich eine einfach handhabbare und besonders dichte Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung.The locking tab 12 according to the embodiment of the figure 2 only partially covers the slot 3. In one in the Figures not shown embodiment covers the Locking tab 12 completely slits 3, insofar as it is not already through the ground level, also not shown Sealing lip is covered. This measure results in an easy-to-use and particularly dense embodiment the device according to the invention.

Die Handhabbarkeit beim einhändigen Schließen der Vorrichtung wird weiter durch die Führung 8 verbessert, die an dem selben Rand 15 des schalenförmigen Segmentes 7 wie die Schließlasche 12 ansetzt. Die Führung 8 ist an der Innenwand des schalenförmigen Segmentes 7 etwa mittig befestigt und setzt die Krümmung der Wand 9 in etwa fort. Die Führung 8 unterstützt, dass das andere schalenförmige Segment 6 problemlos in die Endlage des geschlossenen Bechers gleitet.The manageability when closing the device with one hand is further improved by the guide 8 on the same edge 15 of the bowl-shaped segment 7 as that Lock tab 12 attaches. The guide 8 is on the inner wall of the bowl-shaped segment 7 attached approximately in the middle and continues the curvature of the wall 9 approximately. The leadership 8 supports the other cup-shaped segment 6 easily slides into the end position of the closed cup.

Zur weiteren Verbesserung der Dichtheit der Vorrichtung ist es in einer in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass die Führung 8 in gleicher Weise wie die Schließlasche 12 den Schlitz 3 in der Wand des geschlossenen Bechers vollständig überdeckt, wobei die Führung 8 den Schlitz 3 auf der Innenseite und die Schließlasche 12 den Schlitz 3 auf der Außenseite überdeckt.To further improve the tightness of the device it in an embodiment not shown in the figures provided that the guide 8 in the same way as the locking tab 12 the slot 3 in the wall of the closed cup completely covered, the Guide 8 the slot 3 on the inside and the Locking tab 12 covers the slot 3 on the outside.

Zur Verbesserung der Handhabung kann schließlich an der nach außen zeigenden Oberfläche der Schließlasche 12 eine etwa rechtwinklig dazu angeformte Handhabe vorgesehen sein, die die einhändige Bedienung nochmals erleichtert.Finally, to improve handling, the after outside facing surface of the locking tab 12 approximately be formed at right angles to the handle provided the one-handed operation is even easier.
