Definitions

  • the present invention aims to provide a device for straightening or decrepit hair, that is to say, to shape them to make them smooth.
  • the present invention aims to provide a device for easy use, which allows hair straightening and shaping, and whose cost is competitive with currently available devices on the market.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a device whose use nonetheless household hair and scalp and which does not have the disadvantages of the state of the art.
  • DE 2615267-A describes an electrically heated clamp in which the hair is arranged between heating pads.
  • WO 98/35578 also discloses a clamp comprising two heating plates.
  • heating means such as electric heating elements heating a pad or producing hot air or steam.
  • detanglers which are devices provided with one or more combs performing, under the effect of a motor generally, small jerky movements generally longitudinal continuous which, when the device is passed through the hair, are intended to unravel them.
  • This type of apparatus can be illustrated by the documents WO 96/28990; US 4, 139, 014; US 3,897,794; US 3,840,030; US 3,272,023 and EP 0 687426 A but is not suitable for straightening or stripping the hair.
  • DE 29521281 U1 is a comb for holding a lock of hair during cutting.
  • the comb has three rows of teeth with a mobile central comb but does not have means of heating and connection to the power grid.
  • the mobile comb is not used to exert a continuous tension on the lock of hair and does not disengage them. This is actually an ordinary barber comb with a lock function of the wick before cutting it to a desired length.
  • US 1,606,734 (1926) discloses a metal comb (copper) having two rows of flat teeth opposed to each other, for pinching a lock of hair to shape it.
  • One of the two combs being movable and movable by a control means.
  • This comb has no third movable comb, it does not allow to slide the locks between three rows of teeth while pinching. It does not produce hot air or steam.
  • the device treats the hair soaked in wax or oil by exerting different pressures on the locks of hair. The lock of hair soaked in oil and wax compressed between the flat metal teeth of the preheated comb is then straightened.
  • a device connectable to the electrical network consisting of a handle and a head, characterized in that the head is provided with a smoothing pad which is electrically heated as well as a clamping element provided with a user-operable control having the shape of at least three combs whose teeth, under the effect of the control, can be fed from a tooth-to-tooth alignment arrangement, in a same plane, for each comb to a slightly displaced disposition of each row of comb teeth relative to the row of teeth of the neighboring comb so as to be able to pinch strands of hair.
  • the user will use the device by treating the hair from the root to the end by placing locks of hair between the teeth, in the aforementioned alignment position, tooth to tooth of each comb.
  • this manual control has the form of a push button, which by a suitable mechanism progressively moves the row of movable teeth of the spacer comb relative to the rows of adjacent fixed teeth.
  • the pad may be provided with perforations allowing a circulation of hot air or steam through. to the power supply, which enhances the desired smoothing effect of the hair.
  • Figure 1 shows a general perspective view of the apparatus according to the present invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a partial exploded view of the head of the apparatus according to the present invention.
  • Figure 3a shows the apparatus according to the present invention, with the intermediate comb in the rest position.
  • Figure 3b shows a view of the apparatus according to the present invention, with the intermediate comb in the working position.
  • FIGS. 4a, 4b and 4c correspond to a diagram illustrating the principle of operation and use of the device according to the present invention, with illustration of locks of hair.
  • Figures 5a and 5b are sectional views of the position of the device relative to the skull.
  • the device 1 essentially comprises a handle or a handle 2 and a head 3, as well as connection means to the electrical network.
  • the head 3 of said device 1 comprises heating means in the form of a smoothing pad 4, electrically heated, and a clamping element.
  • the clamping element consists here of three combs, 6, 7, 8 essentially parallel, the comb 7 being situated between the combs 6 and 8 as shown in FIG. 2.
  • Each of these combs 6, 7, 8 has teeth respectively 6a, 6b, 6c, ..., 7a, 7b, 7c, ... and 8a, 8b, 8c, ....
  • the combs 6 and 8 are fixed, the teeth respectively 6a and 8a, etc. are disposed on either side of the axis E of the device, in a relatively symmetrical position with respect to this axis E and together define a series of successive parallel planes oriented transversely with respect to the axis E of the device 1 .
  • the intermediate comb 7 consists of teeth secured to a movable base 9. These teeth are longer than those of the fixed combs 6 and 8 to avoid hurting the scalp during the smoothing operation.
  • the movable spacer comb 7 can adopt two extreme positions with respect to the fixed combs 6 and 8, respectively represented in FIGS. 3a and 3b.
  • the teeth 7a, 7b, 7c, ... of the intermediate comb 7 are located in the same plan that the teeth of the comb 6 and 8 so that the teeth 7a, 7b, 7c, ... are substantially aligned with the teeth respectively 6a, 8a; 6b, 8b; 6c, 7c; ...
  • the teeth 7a, 7b, 7c, ... of the intermediate comb 7 are situated outside the abovementioned plane so that the teeth 7a , 7b, are no longer aligned with the teeth respectively 6a, 8a; 6b, 8b; 6c, 7c; ..., but offset from them in the direction defined by the axis E of the apparatus 1.
  • the apparatus 1 comprises control means 10 operable by the user and intended to impose on the row of teeth 7a, 7b, 7c, ... constituting the spacer comb 7 a displacement between the two extreme positions of the figures 3a and 3b in a sliding movement in the longitudinal direction along the arrows A and B, as illustrated in Figures 3a and 3b.
  • Said control means 10 here take the form of a push-button situated at the level of the handle 2.
  • the rest position of the teeth of the intermediate comb 7 is obtained when the button pusher 10 is released.
  • the extreme working position of the teeth of the intermediate comb 7 is obtained when the push-button 10 is fully depressed. All intermediate positions are possible.
  • the user applies the pressure gradually to the push button to stretch the hair and progressively slides, in a continuous movement along the locks of hair, the head 3 provided with the heating pad 4, said locks of hair thus being subjected to the action of heat by sliding on the heating pads 4 while being subjected to tensioning forces through the combs 6, 7 and 8, as shown in Figure 4c.
  • the tension exerted by the clamping element facilitates the straightening operation by optimizing the sliding of the locks of hair on the heating pad 4
