The heater 10 heats the outer surface 6 of the Arms 2 to a temperature in a range between about 100 degrees and about 120 Degree.

In dem anderen Arm 3 wird die Schnittfläche 5 im wesentlichen von einem gewebeartigen Kissen 11 gebildet. Das Kissen besteht aus zwei Filzlagen, die miteinander mittels Ultraschall verschweißt sind. Zwischen den beiden Filzlagen können weitere Filzlagen vorgesehen sein. Der Schichtaufbau ist insbesondere derart ausgebildet, daß eine über die Anwendung gleichmäßige Abgabe des Haarbehandlungsmittels erzielt wird. Die Struktur der einzelnen Lagen ( evtl auch mit anderen als Filzmaterialien) ist für ein derartiges Anlösungsverhalten durch Dampf ausgebildet. Das gewebeartige Kissen 11 dient zur Aufnahme eines Haarbehandlungsmittels.In the other arm 3, the cut surface 5 is essentially a tissue-like Pillow 11 formed. The pillow consists of two layers of felt that are joined together using ultrasound are welded. Additional felt layers can be provided between the two felt layers his. The layer structure is particularly designed such that one over the Application even delivery of the hair treatment agent is achieved. The structure of the individual layers (possibly also with other than felt materials) is for such dissolving behavior trained by steam. The fabric-like pillow 11 is used for receiving of a hair treatment agent.

Von einer oder von beiden Schnittflächen 4, 5 der Arme 2, 3 stehen Borsten 13 in Richtung der jeweils anderen Schnittfläche 4, 5 ab. Die Mantelflächen 6, 7 der beiden Arme 2, 3 sind mit Rippen 14 insbesondere aus Kunststoff versehen, die etwa quer zur Längsrichtung der Arme 2, 3 ausgerichtet sind, so daß einerseits dadurch die darüber gezogenen Haare parallelisiert und andererseits ein Berührschutz gegeben ist. Die Mantelfläche 6,7 besteht aus einem wärmeleitfähigem Material, beispielsweise aus Aluminium, und die Mantelfläche 7 wird insbesondere durch den auf den Arm 3 einwirkenden Dampf auf eine Temperatur in einem Bereich zwischen etwa 80 Grad und etwa 100 Grad erwärmt. Vorzugsweise ist der Arm 3 mit einem besonders dünnen Querschnitt, insbesondere kleiner 1 cm oder kleiner 6 mm (ohne das Kissen) versehen, so daß eine wirksame Wärmeleitung zur Mantelfläche 7 erfolgt. Die Mantelfläche 6 wird bereits durch die Heizung 10 erwärmt.Bristles 13 protrude from one or both of the cut surfaces 4, 5 of the arms 2, 3 the respective other cutting surface 4, 5. The lateral surfaces 6, 7 of the two arms 2, 3 are provided with ribs 14, in particular made of plastic, which are approximately transverse to the longitudinal direction the arms 2, 3 are aligned, so that on the one hand thereby the pulled over it Hair parallelized and on the other hand there is protection against accidental contact. The outer surface 6.7 consists of a thermally conductive material, such as aluminum, and the The outer surface 7 is particularly affected by the steam acting on the arm 3 Temperature warmed in a range between about 80 degrees and about 100 degrees. Preferably is the arm 3 with a particularly thin cross-section, in particular smaller 1 cm or less 6 mm (without the pillow) so that effective heat conduction to the lateral surface 7. The outer surface 6 is already heated by the heater 10.

Das Gerät 1 ist mit einer Verriegelung 15 vesehen, mit der die beiden Arme 2, 3 in der geschlossenen Stellung verriegelt werden können. Des weiteren ist das Gerät 1 mit einem Schalter 16 versehen, mit dem insbesondere die Heizung 10 ein- und ausgeschaltet werden kann.The device 1 is provided with a lock 15 with which the two arms 2, 3 in the closed position can be locked.

Der Benutzer schaltet das Gerät 1 ein, so daß das Wasser in der Kammer 9 durch die Heizung 10 erhitzt wird. Nach weniger Sekunden verdampft das Wasser und tritt an der Schnittfläche 4 des Arms 2 aus. Spätestens dann, wenn nicht von Anfang an, werden beide Arme 2, 3 zunächst einige Sekunden, vorzugsweise etwa 20- 30 Sekunden zusammengehalten, um den Crimper in seiner Funktion zur Applizierung von Haarbehandlungsmitteln zu nutzen, so daß Dampf erzeugt und zumindest etwas des getrockneten Haarbehandlungsmittels im gegenüberliegenden Arm durch den Dampf verflüssigt wird. Beispielsweise werden die Arme erst nach einem vorgegebenen Zeitintervall aus einer Verriegelungsstellung freigegeben oder es wird optisch durch z.B. eine LED oder akustisch angezeigt, daß eine zur Anlösung des Haarbehandlungsmittels ausreichende Zeit verstrichen ist und der Benutzer dann beide Arme 2,3 auseinandernehmen kann. Zur Behandlung der Haare legt der Benutzer die Haare einer Strähne insbesondere im Bereich des Haaransatzes oder im Endbereich der Haarspitzen um diese besonders wiederherzustellen bzw. zu schützen zwischen die beiden Arme 2, 3 des Geräts 1 ein und bringt die Arme 2, 3 dann erneut in die geschlossene Stellung. Das Haarbehandlungsmittel gelangt daraufhin mit dem Dampf zu den zwischen den Armen 2, 3 eingelegten Haaren des Benutzers, wobei vom Arm 2 weiter Dampf appliziert und vom Arm 3 Haarbehandlungsmittel mechanisch vom Kissen 11 abgerieben und durch das durchziehen auf das Haar appliziert wird. Natürlich kann das Haarbehandlungsmittel auch dadurch auf die Haare aufgebracht werden, so daß der Benutzer die Haare mit dem Haarbehandlungsmittel bearbeiten kann, indem beispw. die Haarspitzen ohne Durchziehbewegung mit Haarbehandlungsmittel vom Kissen 11 getränkt werden. Im anderen Fall zieht der Benutzer die Haare über ihre gesamte Länge zwischen den beiden Armen 2, 3 hindurch. Der Dampf mit dem darin enthaltenen Haarbehandlungsmittel beaufschlagt damit die gesamte Länge der Haare des Benutzers. Der Benutzer kann danach oder gleichzeitig die durch den Dampf angefeuchteten Haare über eine oder beide Mantelflächen 6, 7 des Geräts 1 hinwegziehen oder dieselben auch umwickeln. Damit werden die Haare getrocknet und gegebenenfalls zusätzlich zu einer Innen- oder Außenrolle geformt. Nachdem die Haare vollständig aus dem Gerät 1 herausgezogen sind, öffnet der Benutzer die beiden Arme 2, 3 wieder und der Vorgang ist beendet.The user turns on the device 1 so that the water in the chamber 9 through the Heater 10 is heated. After a few seconds the water evaporates and appears on the Section 4 of the arm 2. At the latest, if not from the beginning both arms 2, 3 initially held together for a few seconds, preferably about 20-30 seconds, the crimper in its function for the application of hair treatment agents to use so that steam is generated and at least some of the dried Hair treatment agent in the opposite arm liquefied by the steam becomes. For example, the arms are only raised after a predetermined time interval a locking position released or it is optically by e.g. an LED or acoustically indicated that a sufficient to dissolve the hair treatment agent Time has passed and the user can then take both arms 2, 3 apart. to Treatment of the hair, the user places the hair of a strand especially in the area of the hairline or in the end area of the hair tips to particularly restore them or to protect between the two arms 2, 3 of the device 1 and then bring arms 2, 3 back into the closed position. The hair treatment product then reaches with the steam to the inserted between the arms 2, 3 Hair of the user, steam being applied from arm 2 and hair treatment agent from arm 3 mechanically rubbed off the pillow 11 and pull through is applied to the hair. Of course, the hair treatment agent can also do so the hair is applied so that the user can use the hair treatment agent can edit, for example, the hair tips without pulling through be soaked with hair treatment agent from the pillow 11. In the other case, the Use the hair along its entire length between the two arms 2, 3. The steam with the hair treatment agent contained in it affects the entire Length of the user's hair. The user can then or simultaneously hair dampened by the steam over one or both lateral surfaces 6, 7 of the Pull device 1 away or wrap it around. This will dry the hair and optionally formed in addition to an inner or outer roll. After this the hair is completely pulled out of the device 1, the user opens the both arms 2, 3 again and the process is finished.

Es ist somit eine gezielte Behandlung von nur bestimmten Haarbereichen, z.B. Haaransatz, Deckhaar, ganze Haarlänge oder nur Haarspitzen möglich. Dadurch können z.B. die nur geschädigten Bereiche des Haares z.B. Deckhaar oder Haarspitzen alleinig behandelt werden, so daß die Haarschützende Substanz nur dort aufgebracht wird, wo sie auch benötigt wird. Es ist eine insgesamt sparsame Dosierung des Haarpflegemittels möglich. Die Kombination von Dampf und Haarpflegemittel erlaubt auf trockene Haare ohne vorhergehenden sonst üblichen Waschprozeß der Haare auf das Haar zu applizieren.It is therefore a targeted treatment of only certain hair areas, e.g. Hairline, Cover hair, full hair length or only hair tips possible. This can e.g. the only damaged areas of the hair e.g. Cover hair or hair tips treated alone be so that the hair protecting substance is applied only where it is also needed. It is an overall economical dosage of the hair care product possible. The combination of steam and hair care products allows for dry hair to be applied to the hair without prior, otherwise usual washing process of the hair.

Der obige Vorgang kann beliebig wiederholt werden. Der Benutzer kann dabei das Kissen 11 auswechseln und damit ein anderes oder neues Haarbehandlungsmittel verfügbar machen. Vorzugsweise ist im Kissen 11 zumindest für eine Anwendung ausreichend Haarbehandlungsmittel gespeichert. Ohne das der Benutzer die manchmal für die Haut der Hände wenig geeigneten Haarbehandlungsmittel (in gelöstem Zustand) berühren muß, ist sowohl eine einfache Applizierung als auch Auswechslung bzw Erneuerung des Kissens möglich. Das Haarbehandlungsmittel wird durch die Einwirkdauer, die Durchziehgeschwindigkeit, die Sättigung der Haare und / oder die erzeugte Dampfmenge dosiert. The above process can be repeated any number of times. The user can use the pillow 11 replace and a different or new hair treatment agent available do. Preferably, the cushion 11 is sufficient for at least one application Hair treatment products saved. Without the user sometimes for the skin touch little suitable hair treatment agent (in the dissolved state) on the hands is both a simple application and a replacement or renewal of the Pillow possible. The hair treatment agent is determined by the duration of exposure, the pull-through speed, the hair saturation and / or the amount of steam generated metered.

Das Haarbehandlungsmittel kann ein Proteinderivat, beispielsweise ein Proteinhydrolysat und/oder ein Polyvinylpyrrolydon und/oder Panthenol und/oder Glucose und/oder jegliche Mischungen, insbesonder eine Mischung aus den zuerst genannten drei Substanzen davon, enthalten. Das Haarbehandlungsmittel ist in das Kissen 11 eingetrocknet. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine Lösung des Haarbehandlungsmittels in Ethanol und Wasser (pH 3,5 - 5) auf das Kissen 11 aufgebracht. Dann wird das Kissen 11 bei einer Temperatur von etwa 60 Grad getrocknet. Das Haarbehandlungsmittel ist dann in einer getrockneten Form in dem Kissen 11 gespeichert. Das Gerät 1 ist also derart ausgebildet, daß ein in trockener Form vorliegendes/gespeichertes Haarbehandlungsmittel durch den erzeugten Dampf aktiviert bzw. gelöst und in Kombination mit dem Dampf auf das Haar aufgebracht wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß auf diese Weise eine sehr effektive Applizierung von Haarbehandlungsmitteln, insbesondere Haarschutzmitteln möglich ist.The hair treatment agent can be a protein derivative, for example a protein hydrolyzate and / or a polyvinylpyrrolydone and / or panthenol and / or glucose and / or any Mixtures, in particular a mixture of the first three substances mentioned, contain. The hair treatment agent has dried into the pillow 11. To this Purpose is a solution of the hair treatment agent in ethanol and water (pH 3.5 - 5) applied to the pillow 11. Then the pillow 11 is at a temperature of about 60 degrees dried. The hair treatment composition is then in a dried form the pillow 11 saved. The device 1 is so designed that a dry Form existing / stored hair treatment agent by the steam generated activated or dissolved and applied to the hair in combination with the steam. It has been shown that in this way a very effective application of hair treatment agents, in particular hair protection agents is possible.

Obwohl in der vorgestellten Ausbildungsform als Crimper Handhabungsvorteile gesehen werden, kann abweichend von der beschriebenen Ausbildung das Gerät 1 auch ähnlich einer Brennschere ausgestaltet sein, bei der ein federbelasteter Arm von einem beheizten Stab wegdrückbar ist. Ebenfalls ist es möglich, auf die Borsten 13 auf den Schnittflächen 4,5 ganz oder teilweise zu verzichten. Entsprechendes gilt für die Rippen 14. Anstelle der vorgeschlagenen Einrichtung zur Dampferzeugung kann auch eine solche verwendet werden, nit der ionisierter Dampf entsteht. In dem Kissen 11 können membranartige Materialien enthalten sein, mit denen eine verzögerte Abgabe des darin enthaltenen Haarbehandlungsmittels möglich ist. Die Verzögerung kann dabei insbesondere von der Dampfmenge oder der Temperatur abhängig sein, auf die das Kissen 11 durch den Dampf aufgeheizt wird. Zusätzlich ist es möglich, daß auch die Schnittfläche 4 des Arms 2 mit einem Kissen, insbesondere mit einer Filzlage versehen ist, durch die der erzeugte Dampf hindurchtritt, wobei an den Mantelflächen 6,7 u.U. Öffnungen für den Dampfaustritt ausgebildet sind.. Durch eine entsprechende Ausgestaltung des Arms 3 ist es möglich, das Gerät 1 auch ohne das Kissen 11 und damit als Dampfcrimper zu betreiben.Although seen in the presented training form as a crimper handling advantages deviating from the design described, the device 1 can also be similar a curling iron to be designed in which a spring-loaded arm from a heated Rod can be pushed away. It is also possible to use the bristles 13 on the cut surfaces 4.5 to waive in whole or in part. The same applies to the ribs 14. Instead of proposed device for steam generation can also be used with the ionized steam. Membrane-like materials can be in the cushion 11 be included with which a delayed release of the hair treatment agent contained therein is possible. The delay can be particularly from Amount of steam or the temperature to which the cushion 11 by the Steam is heated. In addition, it is possible that the cutting surface 4 of the arm 2 is provided with a pillow, in particular with a felt layer, through which the generated Steam passes through, 6.7 u.U. Steam outlet openings are formed by a corresponding design of the arm 3, it is possible to operate the device 1 without the cushion 11 and thus as a steam crimper.
