Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an assembly for the application, in wicks of a hair product, in particular a coloring / bleaching product.
  • a perforated cap is placed on the head of the consumer.
  • a tool one end of which is configured as with a hook, the locks next to the perforations are taken from the hat.
  • the product is then applied uniformly to these wicks, in particular by means with a brush. After an adequate exposure time, the hat is removed.
  • the action of coloring product is then neutralized with a shampoo.
  • One such method is described for example in US-A-4,961,439.
  • the wick is placed on a pallet.
  • the product is applied to the wick using a brush.
  • Wicks are left in the air free and separated from the rest of the hair by cotton wicks placed at the hairline. After the appropriate laying time, the hair is washed with conventional way. Again, the method is long and tedious. Of more, the treated locks are inevitably brought into contact with the rest of the hair, which largely compromises the aesthetics of the result.
  • the quantity of product deposited on the wick is a function of the volume of the wick. Therefore, it The result is an impregnation rate which can sometimes be clearly insufficient.
  • the wick is brought into contact with the product simultaneously displacement of the applicator relative to the wick.
  • the flexible sleeve is progressively unwound, like a "pipe", along the wick already coated, and thus prevents any "contamination" of neighboring wicks by this wick that has just been treated.
  • the method is simple to implement and requires significantly less time than conventional methods.
  • the flexible sleeve is able to be engaged relative to the applicator so that it can be placed around said applicator wick, simultaneously with at least part of said relative displacement.
  • the supply of product to the retention zone is done in response to a reduction in volume of the reservoir portion.
  • the reservoir portion comprises at least one elastically deformable wall, in particular in the form of a bellows, the reduction of volume resulting from a pressure exerted on said wall.
  • the pressure capable of causing the product to exit and its route to the application area is a pressure substantially along the longitudinal axis of the applicator.
  • the reduction in volume results from pressure exerted on the elastically deformable walls of the tank.
  • the pressure to be exercised must be substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the applicator.
  • Filling the tank can be achieved using elastic deformability of the tank. So, after compressing the tank with adequate pressure, the applicator is soaked in a bowl containing the product to be applied so as to that the orifice through which the applicator part is supplied, is immersed in the product. The pressure exerted on the walls of the tank is then released, which then resume by elastic return their non-deformed configuration. In doing so, a depression is created inside the tank, which depression causes a product to rise inside the tank.
  • the applicator can be formed in one piece, obtained in particular by extrusion blowing.
  • the material is preferably a polyolefin of the polyethylene type.
  • the applicator portion consists of an added portion and fixed to the reservoir portion, in particular by snap-fastening, screwing, gluing, clamping, or welding.
  • the reservoir can be produced by blow molding.
  • Such an applicator can be for single use or configured so that it can be cleaned for later use.
  • the applicator is of elongated shape, the flexible sleeve being configured so that it can be threaded onto the applicator via the portion applicator of the latter.
  • the flexible sleeve is compressed axially, the first end of the flexible sleeve being able to be in abutment axial against an appropriate portion of the applicator, the second end is located somewhere between the first end and the applicator portion, so as not to hinder the engagement of the bit with said part applicator.
  • the flexible sleeve is removably mounted around the applicator. Indeed, once placed around the wick, said wick having been fully coated, it disengages from the applicator portion, and the flexible sleeve can be disengaged from the applicator to remain around the wick. A new axially compressed sleeve can be fitted around the applicator to be then placed around another wick also to coat with this applicator.
  • At least one open end of the flexible sleeve comprises deformable means for reversibly closing it in place less partial, in particular by keeping it substantially in contact, even tightening, on itself, with a free edge of said open end.
  • the two open ends are equipped with said deformable means.
  • this prevents the product from flowing over the scalp, and secondly that the product does not flow on the shoulders of the consumer via the other end of the sleeve.
  • the degree of closure of the ends of the flexible sleeve depends well obviously the viscosity of the composition to be applied.
  • said deformable means are consisting of spring means, configured so as to constrain in clamping position on itself the free edge of said end (s) open.
  • spring means configured so as to constrain in clamping position on itself the free edge of said end (s) open.
  • said deformable means are made of a flexible material with low shape memory, in particular from an aluminum-based sheet, or a complex based on aluminum and plastic.
  • the means closure are made in the form of a reinforcement ring located at each end.
  • the flexible sleeve is made of a transparent material or translucent.
  • the flexible sleeve can be obtained from two sheets welded or glued one over the other along their two longitudinal edges, or by folding over itself of a sheet and by welding one on the other of its two edges longitudinal.
  • one or more sheets of polyethylene For example, one or more sheets of polyethylene.
  • the flexible sleeve can be extruded.
  • the engagement of the drill bit with the application area takes place at a point on said wick located near the scalp, the relative movement between the wick and the applicator in the direction of the free end of the wick.
  • the open end of the flexible sleeve furthest from the scalp may be closed, at least in part, so as to limit product flows to the across said open end.
  • the method comprises a step of kneading the wick inside the flexible sleeve so as to improve the coating of the wick by said product, and in particular the homogeneity of the impregnation.
  • the product is preferably a hair coloring / bleaching product.
  • the invention relates to a device intended to wrap a lock of hair treated by a method according to the invention, the device comprising a flexible envelope of elongated shape, open in two ends, so as to receive said wick, at least one of the ends open being equipped with means intended, after insertion of the drill bit inside the envelope, close it at least in part on said wick.
  • closure means are provided at both ends.
  • Such closing means may consist of a ring made of a flexible material with low shape memory, in particular based on aluminum, or a spring arrangement.
  • the applicator 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has an elongated shape along an axis X.
  • the applicator 1 is produced by extrusion blowing a material such as polypropylene or low polyethylene density.
  • the applicator 1 comprises a reservoir portion 2, one end of which is ends with a bottom 3.
  • the end of the tank opposite the bottom 3 is extended by a portion of smaller section 4 forming a passage for bringing the product to an applicator portion 8.
  • the applicator portion 8 mainly comprises an opening 5 formed in the side wall of the portion of weakest section 4, in the vicinity of its end opposite to tank 3.
  • the edge 6 delimiting said opening 5 is configured in the form of a hook, constituting an application area.
  • the reservoir portion 2 is separated from the portion of smaller section 4 by a shoulder 7.
  • the walls of the reservoir 2 are elastically compressible in response to a pressure exerted substantially perpendicular to the X axis, so as to response to such pressure, cause a reduction in the volume of tank 2, and the routing of the product towards the applicator portion 8.
  • the volume of the reservoir 2 can be adapted so as to contain the quantity of product necessary for the treatment of one or more locks.
  • FIGS 4A and 4B to which reference is now made illustrate a first embodiment of another component of the assembly according to the invention: the flexible sleeve 10 for wrapping the wick on which the product has been applied.
  • the flexible sleeve 10 is in the form of an elongated wrapper 11, open at its two ends 12 and 13.
  • the length of the sleeve may, depending on the length of the hair to which it is intended, to be of the order of 10 cm to 40 cm.
  • the width of the envelope, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, can range from 1 to 5 cm, and preferably 2 to 4 cm.
  • the width of the envelope may be of the order of 1.5 to 2 cm.
  • the width of the envelope may be of the order of 2.5 to 3 cm.
  • the tubular envelope can be formed by extrusion or folding of a sheet of polyethylene around its longitudinal axis, then by welding, one on the other, two longitudinal edges of the folded sheet.
  • it can be formed by the superposition of two sheets identical welded or glued to each other along their longitudinal edges respectively.
  • Each of the ends 12 and 13 of the envelope 11 is reinforced by a ring or a ring 14, 15, made of a deformable material, with a low memory form, for example based on aluminum. Rings 14 and 15 are arranged either inside the envelope 11, or outside. They can be attached to the flexible envelope by gluing.
  • the rings 14 and 15 allow, when crushed on themselves, to tighten on itself the edge delimiting the corresponding open end of the flexible sleeve, so as to close it at least in part. This position of at least partial closure of the ends 12 and 13 is illustrated in FIG. 4B.
  • the closure devices 16 and 17 ends 12 and 13 of the casing 11 consist of arrangements forming spring each consisting of two cylindrical elements 18, 19, one connected to the other by their two respective ends and which, in the absence of constraint, are in contact with each other over their entire length (end 12). In this position, the end 12 of the envelope 11 is substantially closed.
  • the spring elements 18 and 19 can be made of metal or plastic.
  • FIGS. 6A-6G to which reference is now made, show a sequence of use of the application assembly according to the invention.
  • the flexible sleeve 10 is, like a sock, threaded onto the applicator 1 via its applicator portion 8, by a movement as represented by the arrow F 1 .
  • one end 13 of the flexible sleeve 10 is in abutment against the shoulder 7 of the applicator.
  • the other end 12 of the flexible sleeve 10 is at a level located between the first end 13 and the free end of the portion applicator 8 of the applicator, the latter thus being outside the sleeve flexible 10.
  • the applicator portion 8 is immersed in a bowl containing the composition to be applied, preferably having previously compressed the walls of the reservoir portion 2.
  • a wick M is taken from the hair and put in engagement, as close as possible to the scalp with the edge 6 of the opening 5.
  • the user Prior to any relative movement between the applicator 1 and the wick M, or after moving a short distance, the user descends the end 12 flexible sleeve 10 as close as possible to the scalp, and crushes the ring metallic 14 on the wick M, thus closing at least partially the open end 12 of the flexible sleeve 10.
  • the wick M not yet being completely disposed inside the flexible sleeve 10, the end 12 remains partially open to allow the rest of the wick M to pass through the sleeve 10. After complete insertion of the wick M into the sleeve 10, the opening 12 can be closed.
  • the flexible sleeve 10 one end of which 12 is fixed relative to the wick M, and the other 13 of which is fixedly held relative to the applicator 1, unfolds gradually, and envelops the wick along its length as it is coated with product.
  • the hair is then rinsed in a conventional manner.
  • the application is completely painless for the subject whose wicks have been processed.
  • the quantity of product deposited does not only depend on the size of the wick, but depends on the size of the tube inside which the wick is wrapped as it comes into contact with the product. Therefore, the impregnation rate of the wick is appreciably improved. It As a result, the exposure time can be reduced significantly.
  • the others disadvantages of traditional methods discussed in the preamble demand have been drastically downplayed or even eliminated.
