Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair conditioning device, used on a hair lock selected in the context of a conditioning operation.
  • hair conditioning it is to be understood any hairdressing treatment in which conditioning substances are applied to a hair lock in order to modify the appearance thereof.
  • a bleaching treatment of a hair lock that will then be subjected to dyeing is a typical example of conditioning in accordance with the afore cited definition.
  • conditionings are the dyeing, the curl straightening treatment, the perm hairdressing treatment, the strengthening treatment, the nourishing treatment and so forth.
  • conditionings are known in the art in which only a specific hair lock is to be treated, e.g. in order to make it different from the other hair locks, as in the streak dyeing.
  • the hair lock to be conditioned has to be isolated from the others, in order to prevent a possible interference of the conditioning substance used with the adjacent hair locks, therefore thwarting the purpose of the conditioning.
  • Conditioning devices by which a selection and an isolation of the hair lock to be conditioned is carried out are known in the art.
  • strips of a waterproof and easy to cut sheet material e.g. aluminum foil, are used in such devices, wherewith the hair lock is enveloped prior to its being soaked in the conditioning substance.
  • the hair lock is laid down on the remaining hair, isolated therefrom by the sheet material.
  • GB 2,203,645 A (Dixon); US 4,398,549 (Thomas) and US 4,942,893 (Trottier) disclose hair treatment devices having two hinged valves apt to enclose a strand of hair. These devices can be usually used only one time or they should be washed but the washing step is complicated by the presence of the hinge.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a device allowing to overcome the drawbacks mentioned with reference to the known art.
  • a hair conditioning device comprising a first and a second valve-shaped member, apt to be fit together forming a closed chamber therebetween, and removable fitting means of said first and second valve-shaped member, said first and second valve-shaped member being rotatably hinged at one end thereof, characterized in that the device comprises a pincer member having a pair of jaws to which said first and second valve-shaped member are removably fixed.
  • the main advantage of the hair conditioning device according to the present invention lies in its allowing an optimal selection and isolation, in order to allow the action of the conditioning substance exclusively on a selected hair lock, and allowing the replacement and the washing of the components thereof without an undue burden.
  • a hair conditioning device is globally indicated with 1.
  • Such device is substantially pincer-shaped with elongated pliers, having a first valve-shaped member 2 and a second valve-shaped member 3 rotatably hinged by a pincer member 4.
  • valve-shaped members 2, 3 of the present embodiment are made of a transparent, semirigid, strainable and partially flexible plastic material, e.g. polycarbonate, a vinyl chloride resin, a polyethylene or the like.
  • Each valve-shaped member 2, 3 has a first and a second raised rim 5, 6, respectively, apt to be approached and to be fit together.
  • the pincer member 4 and the raised rims 5, 6 form removable fitting means of said first and second valve-shaped member 2, 3.
  • pincer member 4 and the raised rims 5, 6 are deliberately reduntant, in order to ensure a better adhering of the valve-shaped members.
  • said fitting means may alternatively comprise either the raised rims 5, 6, provided that the above-described restrained joint suffices to fit together the valve-shaped members 2, 3, or exclusively the pincer member 4, possibly provided with a spring system in order to keep the valve-shaped members 2, 3 pressed together.
  • valve-shaped members 2, 3 are apt to be fit together forming a closed chamber therebetween.
  • the device 1 due to the shape of the valve-shaped members 2, 3, has an elongation extending from said pincer member 4 to an insertion end 9.
  • the respective raised rims 5, 6 are shaped so as to allow the passage of a hair lock, indicated as whole with H (figure 4).
  • the pincer member 4 has a pair of jaws 10, to which a respective valve-shaped member 2, 3 is fit.
  • each valve-shaped member 2, 3 has a rib 11, apt to be inserted, or removably fixed, into a corresponding groove 12 formed onto the outer rim of each jaws 10.
  • the groove 12 runs through the respective jaws 10, allowing the corresponding valve-shaped member 2, 3 to be inserted and extracted.
  • the groove 12 has a cleft portion 15 in which the corresponding end of the valve-shaped member 2, 3 is fixed, although it can slide sideways.
  • the jaws 10 are rotatably hinged at a pin 13, housed in a suitable hole 14, formed through said jaws 10.
  • a semifluid conditioning substance is positioned, apt to soak a hair lock for the bleaching thereof.
  • the hairdresser selects a lock of hair H from the hair, and inserts it between the valve-shaped members 2, 3, letting the lock of hair H pass through the insertion end 9.
  • valve-shaped members 2, 3 are approached and the lock is imprisoned inside the chamber thus formed.
  • the removable fitting means in particular the mutually fixed raised rims 5, 6, seal said chamber and prevent the outflow of the conditioning substance and/or of the hair of the lock H.
  • said lock H is isolated from the remaining hair and it can be released onto the latter, provided that said device, as a consequence said fitting means, remains dangling from the head of hair itself.
  • valve-shaped members 2, 3 that are conveniently transparent, the hairdresser can perform a visual check of the conditioning in progress.
  • valve-shaped members 2, 3, and preferably for both are transparent.
  • the device 1 can be opened releasing the conditioned lock H, and, after a possible washing and/or replacing of the valve-shaped members 2, 3, it can be promptly reutilized.
  • the jaws members can be of any shape, and can also differ therebetween themselves provided they fit together forming a sealed chamber apt to house a lock is noteworthy.
  • each valve-shaped member a predetermined quantity can be set beforehand.
  • a valve-shaped member can be provided already filled up of substance and with a removable film sealing the respective hemichamber.
  • the conditioning substance can be arranged in a gel.
  • the above-described device can be used in a large and simultaneous quantity, possibly allowing the hairdresser to use different types or doses of substances, therefore giving him the chance to control the conditioning under way.
