Abstract

The protective cap, made e.g. from a non-woven material containing thermoplastic fibres or from cotton towelling, has two long sides of parallelpiped shape and two short ends, welded or sewn together to create an elongated shape with two end pouches (4, 5). The cap is long enough to receive the hair (6), e.g. after washing or prior to dressing, and its open edge is gathered and preferably elasticated. It has end fasteners (9a, 9b) such as press studs or Velcro (RTM) patches that allow it to be twisted and fastened behind the wearer's head in the form of a turban.

Description

La présente invention concerne une charlotte à mise en place facile pour la protection et le séchage des cheveux.The present invention relates to a charlotte with easy placement for the protection and drying of hair.

Traditionnellement, les femmes ayant des cheveux longs doivent les protéger et les sécher à la sortie de la douche ou du bain, et elles utilisent à cette effet une serviette de grande taille, dans laquelle elles emprisonnent la masse de cheveux en enroulant la serviette sur elle-même selon un axe longitudinal. Puis l'extrémité libre de la serviette est repliée en arrière et autour de la tête, et éventuellement maintenue à l'aide d'une épingle de nourrice ou similaire. Ceci permet de maintenir et de sécher, au moins partiellement, les cheveux en attente d'être coiffés.Traditionally, women with long hair have to protect them and dry them out of the shower or bath, and they use for this purpose a large towel, in which they trap the mass of hair by wrapping the towel on it. even along a longitudinal axis. Then the free end of the towel is folded back and around the head, and possibly maintained using a safety pin or the like. This allows to maintain and dry, at least partially, the hair waiting to be capped.

Une méthode très similaire voire identique est appliquée dans les salons de coiffure et instituts de beauté. Dans ces derniers notamment, il est fréquent de devoir appliquer des produits sur le visage, qui ne doivent pas être mis en contact avec les cheveux. Dans ce cas, la serviette ainsi enroulée autour des cheveux sert également de protection.A very similar or even identical method is applied in hair salons and beauty salons. In the latter in particular, it is common to have to apply products on the face, which should not be in contact with the hair. In this case, the towel thus wrapped around the hair also serves as protection.

Une telle méthode est fastidieuse, incertaine dans son résultat, et demande une certaine pratique avant d'être à peu près certain d'emprisonner tout les cheveux dans la serviette, sans que celle-ci ne se détache ensuite.Such a method is tedious, uncertain in its result, and requires some practice before being almost certain to imprison all the hair in the towel, without it then comes loose.

Afin de résoudre ce problème, il a été proposé une serviette repliée le long d'une de ses diagonales, et partiellement cousue sur deux des côtés de la forme ainsi obtenue, dont le plus petit côté. Cette serviette, décrite dans la demande de brevet anglais GB 2 248 391 A, comporte certains désavantages majeurs, dont celui de ne pas permettre un maintien correct des cheveux dans le pli central, du fait de sa forme en pointe. En outre, pour pouvoir espérer attacher l'extrémité libre de la serviette sur l'extrémité formant bonnet pour la tête, il est nécessaire de replier la serviette de nombreuses fois sur elle-même, comme illustré à la figure 3 de cette demande de brevet, ce qui est particulièrement fastidieux.In order to solve this problem, it has been proposed a folded towel along one of its diagonals, and partially sewn on two of the sides of the shape thus obtained, including the smaller side. This napkin, described in British patent application GB 2 248 391 A, has certain major disadvantages, including that of not allowing proper retention of the hair in the central fold, because of its pointed shape. In addition, in order to hope to attach the free end of the napkin to the end cap for the head, it is necessary to fold the towel many times on itself, as shown in Figure 3 of this patent application which is particularly tedious.

Ainsi, le but principal de la présente invention est de fournir un dispositif simple et économique à fabriquer, permettant de maintenir les cheveux longs d'une personne en les regroupant le plus simplement possible, à l'intérieur du dispositif, celui-ci comportant des moyens intégrés de fermeture sur lui-même.Thus, the main object of the present invention is to provide a simple and economical device to manufacture, to maintain a person's long hair by grouping them as simply as possible, inside the device, which includes integrated means of closure on itself.

Les cheveux à maintenir peuvent être mouillés si la personne vient de les laver par exemple, ou être secs, s'il s'agit juste de les regrouper pour pouvoir les protéger.The hair to be maintained can be wet if the person has just washed, for example, or be dry, if it is just to consolidate to protect them.

Le but de l'invention est atteint avec une charlotte pour la protection des cheveux, de forme allongée, formée de deux parois latérales de forme générale parallélépipédique, fixées l'une à l'autre le long de l'un de leurs longs côtés et de leurs deux petits côtés, de manière à délimiter une première poche disposée à l'extrémité proximale de la charlotte et formant bonnet, et une seconde poche disposée à l'extrémité distale de la charlotte et formant réceptacle pour la masse flottante des cheveux, et caractérisée en ce que ses deux extrémités sont munies de moyens de fixation complémentaires pouvant être mis en contact pour refermer la charlotte autour de la tête après y avoir placé les cheveux, en tournant l'extrémité distale de 180° autour de l'axe longitudinal de la charlotte puis en rabattant cette extrémité distale pour recouvrir l'extrémité proximale.The object of the invention is achieved with a hair protection charlotte, of elongated shape, formed of two parallelepiped-shaped general side walls, fixed to one another along one of their long sides and their two short sides, so as to define a first pocket disposed at the proximal end of the charlotte and forming a cap, and a second pocket disposed at the distal end of the charlotte and forming a receptacle for the floating mass of the hair, and characterized in that its two ends are provided with complementary fastening means which can be brought into contact to close the cap around the head after having placed the hair, by turning the distal end of 180 ° about the longitudinal axis of the charlotte then folding this distal end to cover the proximal end.

La forme parallélépipédique des parois de la charlotte permet de définir les deux poches proximale et distale. Celles-ci sont reliées entre elles par une partie médiane disposée dans leur prolongement. La partie médiane sert également à la mise en place de la chevelure. Néanmoins, en particulier si les cheveux sont plus longs que la longueur totale de la charlotte, la masse flottante des cheveux sera principalement retenue par la poche distale.The parallelepipedic shape of the walls of the charlotte makes it possible to define the two proximal and distal pockets. These are connected together by a median part arranged in their extension. The middle part is also used for the establishment of the hair. Nevertheless, especially if the hair is longer than the total length of the charlotte, the floating mass of the hair will be mainly retained by the distal pocket.

Les moyens de fixation peuvent consister en un système de boutons pression, ou en un système de boucle et bouton, ou encore en un système d'attaches par tissus boucles et crochets tels que connus sous la marque Velcro®.The fastening means may consist of a system of snaps, or a system of buckle and button, or a system of tissue fasteners loops and hooks as known under the trademark Velcro®.

De préférence, la charlotte a une forme générale trapézoïdale c'est-à-dire comporte deux grands côtés d'orientation générale convergeant l'une vers l'autre, définissant ainsi une profondeur variable de la charlotte, la première poche étant située du côté de plus grande profondeur.Preferably, the charlotte has a generally trapezoidal shape that is to say has two large sides of general orientation converging towards one another, thus defining a variable depth of the charlotte, the first pocket being located on the side of greater depth.

Selon une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, les deux parois latérales sont fixées l'une à l'autre par couture. On pourrait néanmoins envisager la possibilité d'autres moyens de fixation, en particulier en fonction du matériau qui est utilisé pour la fabrication des parois latérales. Ainsi, dans le cas de parois latérales faites d'un matériau au moins partiellement fusible (par exemple du textile non-tissé contenant des fibres thermoplastiques), il sera possible de réaliser l'assemblage des deux parois par soudage à chaud.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two side walls are fixed to one another by stitching. One could nevertheless consider the possibility of other fastening means, in particular according to the material that is used for the manufacture of the side walls. Thus, in the case of side walls made of at least partially fusible material (for example nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic fibers), it will be possible to achieve the assembly of the two walls by hot welding.

Selon une forme d'exécution de l'invention, les parois sont constituées de textile non-tissé, de sorte que la charlotte est alors destinée à un usage unique. Néanmoins, il est tout à fait possible que la charlotte soit constituée de tissu absorbant du type coton-éponge, afin de contribuer de manière plus efficace à la fonction de séchage de la charlotte.According to one embodiment of the invention, the walls are made of non-woven fabric, so that the charlotte is then intended for a single use. Nevertheless, it is quite possible that the charlotte is made of absorbent fabric of the sponge-cotton type, in order to contribute more effectively to the drying function of the charlotte.

Avantageusement, au moins une portion des bords non cousus des parois latérales, située à proximité d'au moins une des extrémités de la charlotte, est froncée. De préférence, les fronces sont alors élastiques.Advantageously, at least a portion of the unsewn edges of the side walls, located near at least one end of the charlotte, is gathered. Preferably, the gathers are then elastic.

Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention va à présent être décrite en détail, en référence au dessin schématique annexé, représentant à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme particulière d'exécution d'une charlotte de protection des cheveux selon l'invention.

For a good understanding, the invention will now be described in detail, with reference to the attached schematic drawing, showing by way of non-limiting example, a particular embodiment of a charlotte hair protection according to the invention .
  • Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of profile;
  • Figure 2 is a schematic profile view before its implementation on the head, in open configuration;

  • Figure 5 is a schematic profile view after its implementation on the head, in completely closed configuration.

Comme illustré aux figures 1 à 3, la charlotte 1 selon l'invention a une forme allongée. Elle est formée de deux parois latérales de forme générale parallélépipédique, fixées l'une à l'autre le long de l'un de leurs longs côtés 2 et de leurs deux petits côtés 3, de manière à délimiter une première poche 4 disposée à l'extrémité proximale de la charlotte et formant un bonnet, et une seconde poche 5 disposée à l'extrémité distale de la charlotte et permettant de rassembler et maintenir la masse flottante des cheveux 6.As illustrated in Figures 1 to 3, the charlotte 1 according to the invention has an elongate shape. It is formed of two side walls of generally parallelepipedal shape, fixed to one another along one of their long sides 2 and their two small sides 3, so as to define a first pocket 4 arranged at the top proximal end of the charlotte and forming a cup, and a second pocket 5 disposed at the distal end of the charlotte and to collect and maintain the floating mass of hair 6.

La poche distale 5 a un volume inférieur à la poche proximale 6 formant bonnet. En outre, si l'on considère que le profil de la charlotte est celui d'un parallélépipède, il est néanmoins possible de prévoir certains angles 7 plus ou moins arrondis, notamment au niveau de la partie proximale formant bonnet, afin d'en améliorer le confort.The distal pocket 5 has a smaller volume than the proximal pocket 6 forming a cup. In addition, if we consider that the profile of the charlotte is that of a parallelepiped, it is nevertheless possible to provide some more or less rounded angles 7, in particular at the proximal portion forming a cup, in order to improve comfort.

Les deux poches proximale 4 et distale 5 sont reliées entre elles par une partie médiane 8 disposée dans leur prolongement. La partie médiane sert également à la mise en place de la chevelure. Néanmoins, en particulier si les cheveux sont plus longs que la longueur totale de la charlotte, la masse flottante des cheveux 6, et l'extrémité de ceux-ci, sera principalement retenue par la poche distale 5.The two proximal pockets 4 and distal 5 are interconnected by a median portion 8 disposed in their extension. The middle part is also used for the establishment of the hair. Nevertheless, especially if the hair is longer than the total length of the charlotte, the floating mass of the hair 6, and the end thereof, will be mainly retained by the distal pocket 5.

Les deux extrémités de la charlotte sont munies de moyens de fixation 9 complémentaires pouvant être mis en contact pour refermer la charlotte autour de la tête après y avoir placé les cheveux, en tournant l'extrémité distale de 180° autour de l'axe longitudinal de la charlotte puis en rabattant cette extrémité distale pour recouvrir l'extrémité proximale.Both ends of the charlotte are provided with complementary attachment means 9 that can be brought into contact to close the cap around the head after placing the hair, by turning the distal end of 180 ° about the longitudinal axis of the charlotte then folding this distal end to cover the proximal end.

Dans la forme d'exécution représentée aux figures 1 à 3, les moyens de fixation consistent en un système de boutons pression (9a, 9b). Le bouton pression mâle 9a est situé à la surface externe de l'extrémité proximale 4 (à l'arrière du bonnet), et la partie femelle 9b est située à la surface interne de l'extrémité distale 5.In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 3, the fixing means consist of a system of snaps (9a, 9b). The male snap button 9a is located on the outer surface of the proximal end 4 (at the back of the cup), and the female portion 9b is located on the inner surface of the distal end 5.

Les deux parois latérales sont fixées l'une à l'autre par couture, et sont constituées de textile non-tissé, de sorte que la charlotte est destinée à un usage unique.The two side walls are attached to each other by stitching, and are made of non-woven fabric, so that the charlotte is intended for a single use.

Une portion des bords non cousus des parois latérales, située à proximité de l'extrémité proximale de la charlotte, est munie de fronces élastiques 10.A portion of the unsewn edges of the side walls, located near the proximal end of the charlotte, is provided with elastic gathers 10.

La mise en place de la charlotte selon l'invention, telle que représentée aux figures 2 à 5, est extrêmement simple.The establishment of the charlotte according to the invention, as shown in Figures 2 to 5, is extremely simple.

Tout d'abord, l'on doit pencher la tête vers l'avant, et ramener la chevelure vers l'avant comme cela est représenté à la figure 2.First, you have to tilt your head forward, and bring the hair forward as shown in Figure 2.

Ensuite, l'on doit enfiler la charlotte en plaçant l'extrémité proximale de celle-ci comme un bonnet, sur la tête. La masse flottante des cheveux 6 doit alors être positionnée à l'intérieur de la charlotte, et notamment, si la longueur des cheveux dépasse celle de la charlotte, la poche distale 5 offre un volume suffisant pour recueillir la longueur dépassante de cheveux, comme cela est représenté à la figure 3.Then, we must put on the charlotte by placing the proximal end of it as a cap, on the head. The floating mass of the hair 6 must then be positioned inside the charlotte, and in particular, if the length of the hair exceeds that of the charlotte, the distal pocket 5 has a sufficient volume to collect the protruding length of hair, as this is shown in Figure 3.

Ensuite, l'on doit faire pivoter l'extrémité distale de la charlotte de 180° par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de cette dernière, comme cela est représenté à la figure 4, et rabatttre ensuite vers l'arrière cette extrémité distale, qui vient alors en recouvrement de la partie proximale, comme cela est représenté à la figure 5.Then, one must rotate the distal end of the charlotte 180 ° relative to the longitudinal axis of the latter, as shown in Figure 4, and then fold backwards this end distal, which then overlaps the proximal portion, as shown in FIG. 5.

Il est alors facile de mettre en regard les deux boutons pression et de fermer la charlotte complètement autour de la tête.It is then easy to put in front of the two snaps and close the charlotte completely around the head.

Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes. Ainsi, la forme et les dimensions de la charlotte peuvent être modifiées pour s'adapter éventuellement à différentes tailles de chevelures.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above as an example but that it encompasses all variants. Thus, the shape and dimensions of the charlotte can be modified to possibly adapt to different sizes of hair.
