Definitions

  • the invention relates to a styling and curling hair brush with an elongated, tubular body, its inner, the longitudinal extent the cavity following the body is designed like a collector and can be acted upon by a warm air flow via its open end Air duct represents and in the the air duct with the outer Air outlet openings connecting the lateral surface of the tubular body are introduced, with several, with respect to the tubular body bristle rows arranged around the circumference and with one upstream Air flow divider provided in front of the rows of bristles through which a supplied warm air flow into a in the air duct of the tubular Body flowing and into one on the outer surface of the tubular body is divided along flowing air flow.
  • Such a hairbrush comprises several rows of bristles evenly from each other by an elongated tubular body are arranged radially projecting.
  • the rows of bristles can be formed by individual bristle elements made of plastic or steel or something through tufts of bristles.
  • the individual rows of bristles are longitudinal arranged following the tubular body. Between individual rows of bristles break through the tubular body Openings are provided from which when the inner air duct is acted upon of the tubular body with a hot air stream of hot air emerges.
  • the rows of bristles are at a distance arranged to each other.
  • a row of bristles in the context of these designs can be formed from a single row; a row of bristles in the sense of this description, however, can also be used in parallel and / or rows of bristles arranged offset from one another.
  • each Group is at a distance from the neighboring group.
  • an air guide element that is parallel to the Rows of bristles and thus for the longitudinal extension of the tubular body is arranged below.
  • Each air guide element forms a radial one Towards the closed air flow channel.
  • Such an air flow channel is closed in the radial direction, but at least an adjacent row of bristles open or in this direction Provide openings.
  • the radial end of the Air guiding element forms a spaced apart from the tubular body held baffle, under which a jacket air stream is transported can be.
  • the guide plate of each air guide element is used not only for directing a partial jacket air flow but also that Purpose, the flow channel formed by the air guide elements to keep open when using the hairbrush. In such a laterally open air duct can be when using the Brush even with intensive screwing into the one to be shaped Do not put hair in hair.
  • the longitudinal extension of the tubular Body of the brush following the jacket air flows from inside of the tubular body at corresponding air outlet openings also warm air, which means that the jacket air flow is not just one experiences deflection directed towards the hair to be shaped, but through the turbulence generated a heat transfer in the area of the rows of bristles is favored.
  • the air guide elements made of metal, for example aluminum. These elements save heat when using the brush, which is on the outside the air guide elements to the attached hair becomes.
  • the air duct elements are therefore not only used for directing of a jacket air stream or for guiding jacket air streams instead also for forming hot plate-like elements.
  • the radially outward facing ends of the air duct elements preferably form a slotted sleeve, with in the slotted areas one row of bristles each is arranged.
  • the air duct elements can be designed differently. In one configuration, in which such an air guide element essentially to an adjacent one Bristle row is open pointing, this is O-shaped and according to the curvature of the outer surface of the tubular body curved. It can also be provided that the air guide elements are closed in the radial direction, however are open to both adjacent rows of bristles. Such one The air guiding element is then T-shaped in cross section. On Such air guide element then forms two flow channels.
  • the rows of bristles and the air guiding elements of the styling and Curling hair brush can extend the length of the tubular body subsequently be straight. However, these can also arranged in the manner of a spiral surrounding the tubular body his.
  • the styling and curling hair brush can be arranged in a handle Warm air blower must be assigned. It is also possible to use this hairbrush train with a coupling piece to put this on as an attachment to be able to put on a handle with a warm air blower. The Warm air blowers can then also be used for other hair styling attachments become.
  • a styling curling hair brush 1 which in the exemplary embodiment shown is designed as an attachment for a hand-held device producing hot air, comprises a coupling piece 2, by means of which the hair brush 1 can be connected to a handle (not shown) containing a hot-air blower.
  • the coupling piece 2 is designed as an annular body and can be plugged onto such a grip piece.
  • the hairbrush 1 further comprises an air flow divider 3 adjoining the coupling piece 2, by means of which a jacket airflow branched off from a hot air flow introduced into the coupling piece 2 can emerge via a plurality of openings 4 arranged in a distributed manner in the longitudinal extension of the hairbrush 1.
  • the actual brush section 5 of the hairbrush 1 connects to the airflow divider 3.
  • the brush section 5 consists of a cylindrical tube 6, the inner cavity of which forms an air channel 7. Bristle tufts, each offset parallel to one another, are anchored in the tube 6 in three rows of bristles B 1 , B 2 and B 3 . The rows of bristles follow the longitudinal extension of the hairbrush 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows the hairbrush 1 only with a few tufts of bristles, which are indicated in the drawing; these emerge from the lateral surface of the brush section 5 in the openings 8 indicated in regions.
  • the air duct 7 of the tube 6 is connected to the outer surface of the brush section 5 via a plurality of elongated air outlet openings 9. The tube 6 is closed towards its free end, forming a tip 10.
  • a sleeve 11 carrying three air guide elements L 1 , L 2 , L 3 in the illustrated embodiment is attached to the tube 6 and connected to it in a rotationally fixed manner with the same properties as the tube 6, so that the air outlet openings 9 also pass through the sleeve 11 and the sleeve 11 has the openings 8 for passage of the bristle tufts.
  • the air guiding element L 1 is described in more detail below; the two other air guide elements L 2 and L 3 are constructed accordingly.
  • the air guide element L 1 includes a curved, U-shaped flow channel 12, which is closed in the radial direction to the tube 6 by the outer end 13 of the air guide element L 1 .
  • This outer end 13 of the air guide element L 1 takes over the function of a baffle.
  • the outer termination is connected via a web 14 to the casing of the sleeve 11 enclosing the tube 6.
  • the outer end 13 is curved according to its distance from the outer surface of the tube 6 and according to its concentric arrangement to the tube 6.
  • the front end 15, like the connection of the web 14 to the end 13, is rounded, in particular in order to avoid damage to the hair to be shaped.
  • the flow channel 12 formed by the air guide element L 1 is open in the tangential direction and thus towards the row of bristles B 1 .
  • a further flow channel 16 which is smaller in the exemplary embodiment shown, is formed on the rear side of the flow channel 12, the outer termination of which is formed by the web 14. This flow channel 16 is open to the other row of bristles B 3 .
  • the sleeve 11 and the air guide elements L 1 - L 3 are made of aluminum, for example by means of an extrusion process.
  • a warm air stream 17 flows into the air duct 7 via the coupling piece 2, the air flow divider 3.
  • a jacket air stream 18 emerging through the openings 4 is decoupled from the hot air stream 17, which by configuration of the openings 4 of the air flow divider 3 is essentially concentric with the jacket surface of the tube 6 or flows out of the shell of the sleeve 11. If the hairbrush 1 has been wrapped with its brush section 5 in a strand of hair, then this concentrically surrounds the tube 6 and lies on the outer sides of the outer ends of the air guiding elements L 1 -L 3 .
  • the strand of hair is kept at a distance from the base of the sleeve 11 by the air guide elements L 1 - L 3 .
  • Warm air can thus be supplied to the hair strand to be shaped from the air outlet openings 9 from the air duct 7 functioning in the manner of a collector.
  • the strand of hair to be shaped is exposed to the jacket air flow, which is transported in the flow channels 16 of the individual air guide elements L 1 - L 3 parallel to the longitudinal extent of the rows of bristles B 1 - B 3 .
  • the heat transported in this jacket air stream 18 is sufficient to uniformly heat the hair strand to be shaped over its entire width.
