Abstract
Description
On utilise largement des embouts montés sur des sèche-cheveux et des appareils similaires pour modifier la forme du flux d'air, généralement de l'air chaud. Le terme sèche-cheveux doit s'entendre au sens large et inclut des variantes du type peigne ou brosse soufflante etc.End caps are widely used hair dryers and similar devices for modifying the shape of the air flow, usually hot air. The hair dryer must be understood broadly and includes comb or blower brush variants, etc.
La présente invention porte sur un embout de conception nouvelle.The present invention relates to a tip new design.
En principe, l'embouchure du sèche-cheveux est cylindrique et l'embout qui y est monté comporte une extrémité circulaire s'adaptant sur l'embouchure et une extrémité opposée qui est plus ou moins aplatie, c'est-à-dire qui, en coupe, présente une forme ovale, rectangulaire etc.In principle, the mouthpiece of the hair dryer is cylindrical and the end piece mounted therein has a circular end fitting over the mouth and a opposite end which is more or less flattened, that is to say which, in section, has an oval, rectangular shape etc.
La pratique de la coiffure, en particulier professionnelle, exige des outils performants visant à permettre de mieux utiliser l'effet soufflant du sèche-cheveux en régulant la température de l'air soufflé, la vitesse du ventilateur et partant la vitesse de l'air et, bien entendu, la configuration du jet d'air soufflé, grâce aux embouts spécifiques utilisés.The practice of hairdressing, in particular professional, requires high-performance tools aimed at allow better use of the blowing effect of the hair dryer by regulating the temperature of the supply air, the fan speed and hence air speed and, of course, the configuration of the supply air jet, thanks to the specific tips used.
On s'est aperçu cependant que les types d'embouts proposés jusqu'à présent ne permettent qu'une modification que l'on peut qualifier de grossière du flux, alors que les utilisateurs souhaitent une répartition plus fine du flux d'air et une meilleure fonctionnalité. En effet, les sèche-cheveux ne sont pas utilisés simplement pour sécher les cheveux mais également pour créer des effets coiffants, tels que mise en forme (effet de « styling » ou de « brushing »).We noticed, however, that the types tips offered so far only allow modification which can be described as coarse of the flow, while users want a more fine air flow and better functionality. In hair dryers are not just used to dry hair but also to create styling effects, such as shaping ( "Styling" or "brushing").
L'invention vise une conception particulière nouvelle d'embouts pour des sèche-cheveux permettant de répondre à ces exigences.The invention relates to a particular design new tips for hair dryers to meet these requirements.
Selon l'invention, on propose un embout de sèche-cheveux comportant une première extrémité destinée à s'adapter, de manière classique, à l'embouchure d'un sèche-cheveux et dont la deuxième extrémité, opposée à la première, comporte des tuyères divisant le flux d'air en plusieurs jets individuels.According to the invention, a tip is proposed. hair dryer having a first end intended for adapt, in a conventional manner, to the mouth of a hair dryer and whose second end, opposite the first, has nozzles dividing the air flow into several individual jets.
De préférence, ladite deuxième extrémité est constituée par au moins deux buses en une disposition géométrique appropriée.Preferably, said second end is consisting of at least two nozzles in one arrangement appropriate geometric.
Cette disposition géométrique peut être notamment une ligne droite ou courbe sur une ou plusieurs rangées ou un ou plusieurs cercles concentriques.This geometric arrangement can be especially a straight or curved line on one or more rows or one or more concentric circles.
La configuration géométrique propre de chaque tuyère peut être adaptée pour que des flux de vitesses individuelles différentes soient réalisés selon les tuyères.The proper geometrical configuration of each nozzle can be adapted so that flow of different individual speeds are achieved according to the nozzles.
Les axes des tuyères peuvent être parallèles entre eux et parallèles à l'axe central de l'extrémité de l'embout opposée à celle comportant les tuyères mais d'autres configurations d'axes, y compris des orientations individuelles spécifiques pour chaque tuyère, et même des orientations modifiables, entrent dans le cadre de l'invention.The axes of the nozzles can be parallel between them and parallel to the central axis of the end of the nozzle opposite to that comprising the nozzles but other axis configurations, including orientations specific individual for each nozzle, and even editable orientations, are part of the invention.
Les utilisateurs, tant les coiffeurs que les personnes coiffées par un professionnel ou se coiffant elle-même, en utilisant un sèche-cheveux muni d'un embout selon l'invention observent une optimalisation des différentes caractéristiques d'utilisation en comparaison avec un sèche-cheveux muni simplement d'un embout aplati.Users, both hairdressers and people with professional hair or styling itself, using a hairdryer with a nozzle according to the invention observe an optimization of different usage characteristics in comparison with a hair dryer simply fitted with a flattened tip.
Il semble que ceci soit dû à l'effet classique d'accélération de la vitesse du flux d'air, propre à une tuyère, mais aussi au fait que des jets individuels séparés sont formés, ce qui revient à traiter individuellement des mèches par des jets correspondant à des tuyères spécifiques.This seems to be due to the effect classic acceleration of the air flow speed, specific to a nozzle, but also to the fact that jets separate individuals are trained, which amounts to treating individually wicks by jets corresponding to specific nozzles.
Le concept qui est celui de l'invention, de diviser le flux d'air en jets individuels, dont on peut choisir la configuration, la disposition géométrique réciproque et l'axe directionnel, permet de s'adapter aux exigences des utilisateurs, et en particulier d'accroítre l'efficacité du sèche-cheveux.The concept of invention, of divide the air flow into individual jets, which can be choose the configuration, the geometric layout reciprocal and directional axis, allows to adapt to user requirements, and in particular to increase the effectiveness of the hair dryer.
La forme propre des tuyères peut être adaptée aux effets recherchés. La tuyère peut affecter, par exemple en coupe, une forme ronde ou ovale.The proper shape of the nozzles can be adapted with the desired effects. The nozzle can affect, for example in section, a round or oval shape.
L'invention sera décrite plus en détail en référence à des formes d'exécution spécifiques illustrées par les dessins annexés.The invention will be described in more detail in reference to specific illustrated embodiments by the accompanying drawings.
La figure 1 représente une perspective d'un premier type d'embout à une seule rangée de tuyères, selon un alignement rectiligne, l'axe individuel de chaque tuyère étant parallèle à l'axe de l'extrémité de l'embout opposée à celle comportant les tuyères;Figure 1 shows a perspective of a first type of nozzle with a single row of nozzles, according to straight alignment, the individual axis of each nozzle being parallel to the axis of the end of the opposite end piece to that comprising the nozzles;
Les figures 2 et 3 représentent une vue respectivement en perspective et de profil d'un deuxième type d'embout comportant une rangée de tuyères disposées selon une disposition circulaire, c'est-à-dire convergente dans la figure 2 et divergente dans le cas de la figure 3, l'axe individuel de chacune des tuyères, c'est-à-dire leur orientation lui étant propre.Figures 2 and 3 show a view respectively in perspective and in profile of a second type of nozzle with a row of nozzles arranged according to a circular arrangement, that is to say convergent in FIG. 2 and divergent in the case of FIG. 3, the individual axis of each of the nozzles, i.e. their its own orientation.
Dans les dessins, des repères de références identiques sont utilisés pour des éléments constitutifs identiques ou similaires des différentes vues des formes d'exécution.In the drawings, reference marks identical are used for building blocks identical or similar of the different views of the shapes execution.
