Various devices having this aim of cleanliness have already been proposed. Patent FR-A-2437298 describes a sheet having a row of holes adapted to be crossed by the teeth of a flat comb, the sides of this sheet being able to be folded down on the sides of the body of the comb. This proposal requires a particular sheet adapted to each particular form of comb. Patent FR-A-2739534 describes a cylindrical hair brush whose body has a longitudinal notch allowing the introduction of an edge of an elastic mesh with tight meshes, the other edge of which is provided with a self-gripping strip. for fixing after having wrapped it around the brush. This type of device requires the creation of a specific brush and a specific net adapted to this brush. The positioning of the net on the brush and its removal are difficult, this removal cannot be done without contact with dirt. The two ends of the brush have no protection. US Pat. No. 6,112,362 describes a deformable flat net through which the teeth of a flat brush fitted with a handle engage, this net bypassing the field of the body of the brush and its peripheral edge being provided with an elastic band and of two fixing tabs passing around the handle and keeping the elastic stretched. Such a net is particularly difficult to place on the brush. In addition, each particular form of brush must have a specific net. The subject of the present invention is a protection and / or cleaning device intended to be installed on an object such as a brush or a comb, comprising at least one support provided with projecting elements such as filiform elements, groups The aim of the present invention is that such a device is preferably easy to install on a brush and easy to remove. The object of the present invention is that such a device is preferably adaptable to a large number of models of brushes or combs of different shapes, with sleeves or without sleeves. The object of the present invention is that such a device is preferably hygienic during its extraction. The protection and / or cleaning device according to the invention comprises a deformable tubular envelope, at least part of the wall of which has a multiplicity of holes and which has at least one opening through which said support can be introduced longitudinally into the envelope, so that this envelope surrounds said support and that the projecting elements of the latter can engage through its aforementioned perforated part. According to the invention, said opening can be provided at one end of said envelope. According to the invention, said opening can be formed in the side wall of said envelope. According to the invention, said envelope can advantageously be elastically deformable or extensible. According to the invention, said envelope can advantageously be provided with a fastening system provided on the edge of its aforementioned opening. According to the invention, said attachment system can advantageously comprise an elastic means allowing an extension of said opening.

According to the invention, said woven material is preferably extensible. According to the invention, the envelope can advantageously have or be provided with a gripping part, associated with the edge of said opening. According to the invention, said envelope can advantageously comprise a deformable tubular net, one of the ends of which is closed on itself, optionally by means of a fastening means, and the other end of which is provided on its edge of a fastening system. According to the invention, said tubular net is preferably elastically deformable or extensible. According to the invention, said envelope can advantageously be coated or impregnated with a substance for treating the hair or the hair, hygienic or scented. The present invention will be better understood from the study of devices for protecting and / or cleaning brushes, described by way of nonlimiting examples and illustrated by the drawing in which: - Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a device according to the invention; - Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a device according to the invention, placed on a brush; - Figure 3 shows a perspective view of a device according to the invention; - Figure 4 shows a perspective view of a device according to the invention, placed on another brush; - Figure 5 shows a perspective view of a device according to the invention, placed on another brush; - Figure 6 shows a perspective view of a device according to the invention, placed on a brush; - Figure 7 shows a mode of implementation on a brush of a device according to the invention; - And Figure 8 shows a mode of withdrawal of a device according to the invention relative to a brush. Referring to Figure 1, we can see that there is shown a protection and cleaning device 10 consists of a deformable tubular casing 1, in the form of a cover, which has a single opening in the lower part 3 of its side wall. The envelope 1 has a fastening system 4 associated with the opening 3 and allowing the positioning of the envelope. 1 on the head of a brush or comb and print pressure so that the cover sinks into the brush or comb. The envelope 1 may advantageously be made of a woven material, so as to have holes between its meshes, this envelope possibly being extensible or elastic. For example and in a nonlimiting manner, the envelope 1 can be composed based on viscose, polyamide, acrylic or in any other material capable of constituting deformable meshes. The casing 1 has at its lower end a holding part 5 to allow better grip when it is removed. The fastening system 4 comprises a cord 6, for example of cotton, placed inside a sheath 2 surrounding the opening 3. The sheath 2 allows the cord 6 to be put in place. The sheath 2 is preferably elastic. so that the opening 3 is extendable. When a brush is introduced into the envelope 1, its opening 3 can be placed on the back of this brush and be closed by pulling on the cord 6 and tying the latter. In the case of a brush provided with a handle on its back, this handle can pass through the opening 3 and the latter can be tightened at the base of the handle by pulling on the free strands of the cord 6 in order to perfectly maintain this envelope . A press stud, a fastening band or an elastic band can also be used to close at least partially the opening 3 of the envelope 1. This sheath 2 can be formed by a return of material produced by sewing a pleat created from the envelope 1. According to a variant, the envelope 1 may consist of one or more parts sewn so as to obtain the shape of the brush or the comb. Preferably, the envelope 1 is slightly longer than the head of the brush or the comb. The envelope 1 preferably has a width at most equal to that of the brush or the comb.
L'enveloppe 1 se positionne ainsi sur ladite tête jusqu' à la base du manche de la brosse. Les dimensions de l' enveloppe peuvent éventuellement varier en fonction des formes et tailles des diverses têtes de brosse à cheveux existantes, cylindriques, ovales, rondes, rectangulaires ou carrées. Pour retirer l' enveloppe 1 de la brosse, on détache le cordon 6 et on retire cette enveloppe à l' envers, en la retournant, afin d'emprisonner les salissures à l'intérieur de celle-ci. La manipulation est facile, rapide et très hygiénique car l'utilisateur ne touche pas l' enveloppe souillée grâce à la partie de tissu propre qui se trouve au- dessous du cordon permettant la fermeture de l' enveloppe 1. L' enveloppe 1 devient alors un petit sac jetable rempli de cheveux, poussières, pellicules et autres salissures. En se reportant à la figure 2, on peut voir qu' on a représenté un dispositif de protection et de nettoyage 100 installé sur une brosse 101 qui comprend un support longitudinal plat 102 dont les extrémités sont arrondies et qui porte sur une face une multiplicité d'éléments en saillie 103 tels que des éléments filiformes, des groupes d'éléments filiformes ou des dents pour effectuer des brossages. Comme le montre la figure 3, le dispositif 100 comprend une enveloppe tubulaire trouée 104 constituée dans l'exemple par un filet tissé de préférence déformable élastiquement ou extensible, dont une extrémité 105 est fermée et dont l' autre extrémité 106 est ouverte. Du côté de cette extrémité ouverte 106, l' enveloppe tubulaire 104 présente une partie resserrée 107 à la manière d'un goulot de bouteille. Le bord de l'extrémité ouverte 106 est muni d'un organe élastique annulaire 108, rapporté ou tissée. Pour la mise en place du dispositif 100 sur la brosse 101 , on agrandit l'ouverture 106 en allongeant l'organe élastique 108 et en déformant l'enveloppe 104, on introduit longitudinalement et complètement la brosse 101 dans l'enveloppe 104, éventuellement en tirant pour l'ajuster, et on la relâche. Les éléments en saillie 103 passent au travers de l'enveloppe 104 dont les mailles s' engagent entre ces éléments 103 , en direction du support 102. Le support 102 est alors complètement entouré par l' enveloppe 104 qui est ainsi convenablement maintenue. La brosse 101 peut alors être utilisée normalement. Dans la variante de la figure 2, l' extrémité fermée 105 de l'enveloppe 104 est obtenue par resserrement d'une extrémité ouverte obtenue lors du tissage et maintien par collage ou par un organe rapporté par exemple constitué par un collier en toute matière ou en formant un noeud. Dans la variante de la figure 3, l'extrémité fermée 105 de l' enveloppe 104 est obtenue directement lors du tissage. En se reportant à la figure 4, on peut voir qu'on a représenté un autre usage du dispositif 100 de la figure 3, dans lequel l' enveloppe 104 est mise en place sur une brosse 109 qui- présente un support plat longitudinal ovalisé 1 10 muni d'un côté d' éléments en saillie 1 1 1 et se prolongeant longitudinalement par un manche 1 12. Cette fois, la brosse 109 est introduite dans l' enveloppe 104 par sa partie opposée à son manche 1 12, jusqu'à ce que l' organe élastique 108 vienne autour de la partie de jonction entre le support 110 et le manche 1 12 ou autour de la partie de ce manche située du côté de ce support. En se reportant à la figure 5, on peut voir qu' on a représenté un autre usage du dispositif 100 de la figure 3, dans lequel l' enveloppe 104 est mise en place sur une brosse 113 qui présente un support plat longitudinal ovalisé 114 muni d'un côté d'éléments en saillie 1 15 et présentant, un manche 116 s' étendant longitudinalement à distance du dos du support 114. La brosse 113 est introduite dans l' enveloppe 104 par sa partie opposée à la partie de jonction entre son manche 116 et son support 114, jusqu' à ce que l' organe élastique 108 viennent autour de la partie de jonction entre le support 114 et le manche 116. Par ailleurs, l'enveloppe 1 décrite en référence à la figure 1 est aussi adaptée pour être mise en place sur les brosses des figures 2, 4 et 5. Après mise en place, l'ouverture 3 de cette enveloppe 1 se trouve sur le dos de ces brosses opposé à leurs éléments en saillie et l' enveloppe 1 contourne toute la périphérie du support de ces brosses.The envelope 1 is thus positioned on said head up to the base of the handle of the brush. The dimensions of the envelope may possibly vary depending on the shapes and sizes of the various existing hair brush heads, cylindrical, oval, round, rectangular or square. To remove the envelope 1 from the brush, the cord 6 is detached and this envelope is removed upside down, turning it over, so as to trap the dirt inside it. The handling is easy, fast and very hygienic because the user does not touch the soiled envelope thanks to the part of clean tissue which is located below the cord allowing the closure of the envelope 1. The envelope 1 then becomes a small disposable bag filled with hair, dust, dandruff and other dirt. Referring to Figure 2, we can see that there is shown a protection and cleaning device 100 installed on a brush 101 which comprises a flat longitudinal support 102 whose ends are rounded and which carries on one side a multiplicity of 'protruding elements 103 such as filiform elements, groups of filiform elements or teeth for brushing. As shown in FIG. 3, the device 100 comprises a perforated tubular envelope 104 constituted in the example by a woven net, preferably elastically deformable or extensible, one end 105 of which is closed and the other end 106 of which is open. Of side of this open end 106, the tubular casing 104 has a constricted portion 107 in the manner of a bottle neck. The edge of the open end 106 is provided with an annular elastic member 108, attached or woven. For the installation of the device 100 on the brush 101, the opening 106 is enlarged by lengthening the elastic member 108 and by deforming the casing 104, the brush 101 is introduced longitudinally and completely into the casing 104, possibly in pulling to adjust it, and we release it. The projecting elements 103 pass through the envelope 104, the meshes of which engage between these elements 103, in the direction of the support 102. The support 102 is then completely surrounded by the envelope 104 which is thus suitably maintained. Brush 101 can then be used normally. In the variant of FIG. 2, the closed end 105 of the envelope 104 is obtained by tightening an open end obtained during weaving and holding by gluing or by an added member for example constituted by a collar of any material or by forming a knot. In the variant of Figure 3, the closed end 105 of the envelope 104 is obtained directly during weaving. Referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that another use of the device 100 of FIG. 3 has been shown, in which the casing 104 is placed on a brush 109 which has an oval longitudinal flat support 1 10 provided on one side with projecting elements 1 1 1 and extending longitudinally by a handle 1 12. This time, the brush 109 is introduced into the envelope 104 by its part opposite to its handle 1 12, up to that the elastic member 108 comes around the junction part between the support 110 and the handle 1 12 or around the part of this handle located on the side of this support. Referring to FIG. 5, it can be seen that another use of the device 100 of FIG. 3 has been shown, in which the casing 104 is placed on a brush 113 which has an oval longitudinal flat support 114 provided on one side of projecting elements 1 15 and having a handle 116 extending longitudinally at a distance from the back of the support 114. The brush 113 is introduced into the envelope 104 by its part opposite to the junction part between its handle 116 and its support 114, until the elastic member 108 comes around the junction part between the support 114 and the handle 116. Furthermore, the casing 1 described with reference to FIG. 1 is also suitable for being placed on the brushes of FIGS. 2, 4 and 5. After installation, the opening 3 of this envelope 1 is located on the back of these brushes opposite their projecting elements and the envelope 1 bypasses the entire periphery of the support of these brushes.
L' ouverture 3 peut être refermée en tirant sur le cordon 6 et en nouant ce dernier, de façon à créer une certaine tension. En se reportant à la figure 6, on peut voir qu'on a représenté un autre usage du dispositif 100 des figures 3 à 5, dans lequel l' enveloppe 104 est mise en place sur une brosse 117 qui présente un support longitudinal cylindrique 118 muni d'éléments en saillie 1 19 rayonnant sur son pourtour et se prolongeant longitudinalement par un manche 120. Dans cet exemple, l' organe élastique 108 de l' enveloppe 104 est remplacé par une bande 121 à accrochage rapide destiné à resserrer son ouverture 106 de façon réglable. Cette fois, la brosse 1 17 est introduite dans l'enveloppe 104 par sa partie opposée à son manche 120, jusqu'à ce que son ouverture 106 munie de la bande 121 vienne autour de la partie de jonction entre le support 118 et le manche 120 ou autour de la partie de ce manche située du côté de ce support. Après quoi, on ajuste la bande 121 au diamètre du manche 120 et on l' accroche. En se reportant aux figures 7 et 8, on va maintenant décrire, à titre d'exemple, une manière de mettre en place et de retirer l'enveloppe 104 par rapport à la brosse 1 17. Comme le montre la figure 7, l' enveloppe 104 peut être mise en place sur la brosse 117 en augmentant radialement sa dimension, comme le montre les flèches 122 et 123 et par retournement en la faisant glisser comme le montre la flèche 124. Comme le montre la figure 8, l'enveloppe 104 peut être retirée de la brosse 1 17 en prenant le bord de son ouverture 106, en augmentant sa dimension et en tirant en sens inverse indiqué par la flèche 125 de façon à la retourner à la manière d'une chaussette. Ainsi, lors de ce retrait, les salissures, tels que des cheveux ou des poils, sont extraites d'entre les éléments en saillie 119 et, après retrait total, ces salissures se trouvent enfermée dans l'enveloppe 104 retournée qui constitue alors un sac jetable. On peut alors replacer sur la brosse 117 une enveloppe 104 'neuve. Les opérations ci-dessus, notamment de retrait par retournement et constitution d'un sac jetable, sont naturellement applicables, pour obtenir les mêmes résultats, aux enveloppes décrites en référence aux figures 1 à 5. Par ailleurs, la matière constituant les enveloppes décrites ci- dessus peuvent, lors de leur fabrication ou juste avant l' utilisation, être enduite ou imprégnée d'une substance de traitement du cheveu ou du poil, hygiénique ou parfumée. La présente invention ne se limite pas aux exemples ci-dessus décrits. En particulier, les enveloppes tubulaires pourraient être constituées par de fines bandes, élastiques ou extensibles, maillées pour former des trous de passage des éléments en saillie des brosses. Les extrémités fermées des enveloppes pourraient être réalisées par tout autres moyens que ceux décrit, par exemple par collage à l' aide d'une colle, par thermocollage. Dans la zone des brosses exempte d'éléments en saillie, les enveloppes pourraient présenter une partie non trouée, éventuellement élastique ou extensible, par exemple une toile. Les enveloppes pourraient aussi présenter des parties de renforcement convenablement placées. Bien d' autres variantes de réalisation sont possibles sans sortir du cadre défini par les revendications annexées. The opening 3 can be closed by pulling on the cord 6 and tying the latter, so as to create a certain tension. Referring to FIG. 6, it can be seen that another use of the device 100 of FIGS. 3 to 5 has been shown, in which the casing 104 is placed on a brush 117 which has a cylindrical longitudinal support 118 provided protruding elements 1 19 radiating around its periphery and extending longitudinally by a handle 120. In this example, the elastic member 108 of the casing 104 is replaced by a strip 121 of quick coupling intended to tighten its opening 106 of adjustable way. This time, the brush 11 is introduced into the casing 104 through its part opposite to its handle 120, until its opening 106 provided with the strip 121 comes around the junction part between the support 118 and the handle. 120 or around the part of this handle located on the side of this support. After which, the strip 121 is adjusted to the diameter of the handle 120 and hung. Referring to Figures 7 and 8, we will now describe, by way of example, a way to set up and remove the casing 104 relative to the brush 1 17. As shown in Figure 7, the envelope 104 can be placed on brush 117 by increasing its dimension radially, as shown by arrows 122 and 123 and by turning it over by sliding it as shown by arrow 124. As shown in Figure 8, the envelope 104 can be removed from the brush 1 17 by taking the edge of its opening 106, increasing its size and pulling in the opposite direction indicated by the arrow 125 so as to return it to the way of a sock. Thus, during this removal, the dirt, such as hair or body hair, is extracted from between the projecting elements 119 and, after total removal, this dirt is enclosed in the inverted envelope 104 which then constitutes a bag. disposable. We can then replace on the brush 117 a new envelope 104 '. The above operations, in particular withdrawal by turning over and constitution of a disposable bag, are naturally applicable, to obtain the same results, to the envelopes described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. Furthermore, the material constituting the envelopes described here - Above can, during their manufacture or just before use, be coated or impregnated with a substance for treating the hair or the hair, hygienic or scented. The present invention is not limited to the examples described above. In particular, the tubular envelopes could be constituted by thin bands, elastic or extensible, meshed to form through holes for the elements projecting from the brushes. The closed ends of the envelopes could be produced by any other means than those described, for example by gluing using an adhesive, by heat sealing. In the brush area free of projecting elements, the envelopes could have a non-perforated part, possibly elastic or extensible, for example a canvas. The envelopes could also have suitably placed reinforcing parts. Many other alternative embodiments are possible without departing from the scope defined by the appended claims.
