Definitions

  • the hair styling appliance The hair styling appliance
  • the invention relates to a hair styling device with a handle part, at least one heating part for heating the hair and with two metallic, preferably made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy moldings for molding, especially smoothing, curls or waves of hair, the hair inserted between facing moldings and the mold parts from an open to a closed state (and vice versa) can be transferred.
  • Such a hair styling device is known for example from EP 1 030 571 B1.
  • the metallic moldings of these hair-styling devices are coated with a thin layer of lacquer or, in the case of molded parts made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, treated with the anodization process (to produce an oxide layer).
  • lacquer layers or oxide layers are applied to the moldings in order to achieve a smoother surface compared to the untreated metal surface of the moldings, so that when using the hair styling appliance, the hairs to be formed experience the least possible mechanical stress. This strain on the hair arises from the fact that the strand of hair to be formed is trapped between the molded parts during the treatment and acts on the strand of hair a locking force.
  • the hair styling device is moved with a pulling force along a strand of hair, whereby the hair is heated by the heating part.
  • the size of the tensile force is limited upwards. This limit is determined on the one hand by an incipient damage to the hair due to the mechanical and the simultaneously acting heat stress resulting from the tensile effect.
  • the user experiences an unpleasant train at the hairline, generated by the movement of the hair styling device relative to the hair at too high a tensile force. Therefore, measures must be taken to ensure that the hair is well formed on the one hand, but there is neither damage to the hair due to mechanical or heat stress, nor an unpleasant pull on the hairline of the user.
  • the average roughness depth is about 4 microns.
  • this roughness depth does not preclude damage to the hair and an unpleasant pull on the hairline since the hair surface itself is a structural element.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a hair styling device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 that significantly reduces both damage to the hair and stress acting on the hair as well as an unpleasant train on the hairline of the user.
  • the heat input into the hair is to be optimized for shaping.
  • the contact surfaces have at least partially enamelling.
  • the enamels create a very gentle contact surface for the hair. Damage to the hair to be formed by mechanical stress and e- benso an unpleasant train at the hairline of the user are avoided. The hair slides neither too fast nor too slowly between the contact surfaces.
  • enamelling is also extremely scratch-resistant, abrasion-resistant and wear-resistant, so that the contact surfaces also have a high and long useful value.
  • the contact surfaces provided with it are also particularly easy to clean and have very good sliding properties for the hair even at high temperatures.
  • the metallic moldings of an aluminum wrought alloy with alloys of magnesium and / or silicon having a Mg content between 0-1.5%, preferably between 0.3-0.9% and optionally a second Zulegie- supply component Si have.
  • Such an alloy is eg AIMgSi o, 5 .
  • the layer thickness of the enamel is 10 microns to 140 microns, preferably 40 microns to 120 microns.
  • the layer thickness is at least 40 ⁇ m.
  • the metallic moldings as a base layer on a chromating or phosphating, on which the enamel layer is applied.
  • Such pretreatments in particular with Cr 3 or PO 4 2 complexes, serve as adhesion promoters between the metallic surface of the molded parts and the enamel layer.
  • adhesion promoters between the metallic surface of the molded parts and the enamel layer.
  • This effect can also be achieved by roughening the metallic surface of the moldings before enamelling. This can be done for example by irradiation with fine corundum particles. Of course, this irradiation can also be carried out before chromating or phosphating the surfaces.
  • At least one of the molded parts has a rounded inlet and / or outlet edge, which extends along the running in the longitudinal direction boundary of at least one molded part.
  • the inlet and / or outlet edge has a radius of 0.5 mm to 5 mm, preferably of 1 mm.
  • At least one of the mold parts is provided on its the other part facing the contact surface with at least two spacers, through which a gap between the contact surfaces ( 5, 6) is formed.
  • This embodiment is particularly effective when the spacers are formed as Kugelsegmentkalotten with a radius of 1 to 8 mm, in particular with a radius of 6mm and from the contact surface by 0.1 to 1 mm, preferably by 0.15 mm to 0, 25 mm, lift off.
  • an approximately matched to the hair diameter and the surface structure of the hair space between the contact surfaces in the closed state is created so that individual hair at the end of the strand can not be torn or undesirable high tensile forces on individual hair can act.
  • At least one of the mold parts is releasably held on the holding part. This makes it possible to remove the at least one molded part, for example, for the purpose of cleaning or replace it completely. Likewise, it is thereby possible to use different structural configurations, in particular different geometries of the molded part, for example for smoothing or waves or curls of the hair. This variant of the invention proves to be particularly favorable in terms of manufacturing technology.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic side view of a first gas-powered hair styling device with a fixed and a movable arm according to the invention
  • Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a first electrically operated hair styling device with two pincers movable arms according to the invention and 3 shows a sectional view along the line 1-1 in Figure 1.
  • the hair styling device according to FIGS. 1 and 2 has a grip part 1 and a heating part 2.
  • the heating part 2 is arranged on the handle part 1 in an extension thereof and can be heated electrically (see FIG. 2) or gas-operated (see FIGS. 1 and 3).
  • the Harrform réelle of Figure 1 for this purpose in the handle 1 a replaceable gas cartridge (not shown) as an energy source, which supplies a catalyst 16 (see Figure 3) in the heating part 2 for flameless combustion with energy.
  • the hair styling device of Figure 2 is connected by a cable 17 to the mains, that an electric heater (not shown) in the heating part 2 is energized.
  • the heating part 2 has two pliers-like arms 10, 11 which are spring-loaded against one another and press on one another.
  • one of the arms 11 is fixedly connected to the handle 1.
  • the second arm 10 is pivotable about the fulcrum 14 by pressing the operating lever 12 in the direction of arrow 13 from the first arm 11. Thereby, the second arm 10 can be moved relative to the first arm 11 in the direction of arrow 15 in an open and closed position.
  • both the heating part 2 and the grip part 1 are divided into two spring-loaded, pressing tong-like arms 18, 19, which are spring loaded against each other. Both arms are connected via a swivel joint with spring tension 25.
  • any combinations between the two embodiments of Figure 1 or 2 or with other hair styling devices are alternatively formed.
  • the present hair styling devices according to Figures 1 and 2 are hair straighteners, ie the hair to be smoothed is inserted between the arms 10, 11, 18, 19 and pulled through the effect of a certain contact force on the arms and heat in the arms and smoothed. Alternatively, the additional action of particular hot steam between the arms on the hair is possible.
  • the hair styling device according to Figure 1 to 3 two metallic, in the present case made of aluminum moldings 3, 4, wherein the heating part 2 is formed as a molded part 3. It is also possible to form these two parts separately. Furthermore, it is also possible to assign the mold part 4, a separate further heating part, so that both opposing moldings are heated. Also, only the other molded part 4, which - according to Figure 1 - is not arranged on the handle part, be heated.
  • the heating part 2 is formed as an elongated heating element with a substantially circular cross-section.
  • the mold parts 3, 4 have a flat contact surface on which the hair is formed on. However, others, e.g. circular or curved with a radius cross-sections of the contact surfaces conceivable.
  • a longitudinal axis of the hair styling device is determined.
  • Hair styling devices of the present type are in particular formed with two mold parts with substantially planar surfaces between which the hair can be inserted, comparable to a pair of pliers. Such hair styling devices are used in particular for hair straightening.
  • the molded parts 3, 4 have an enamel coating on their contact surfaces 5, 6 in order to achieve the optimum smoothness or roughness of the contact surfaces 5, 6.
  • the roughness value Rz measured over a reference path length of 1.25 mm is 0.1-1 ⁇ m, preferably 0.1 to 0.3 ⁇ m.
  • the enamel contains this glass body, which at about 500 ° C to 570 0 C to the aluminum alloy containing magnesium and possibly silicon, are melted. This temperature is significantly lower than in a comparable steel enamel and is therefore also gentler, since no high thermal stresses occur in the aluminum alloy.
  • the enamel coating establishes the necessary balance between the pressure and the optimal sliding of the hair, which is only less achievable with other coatings.
  • two (FIG. 1) elevations or spacers 9, 20 are arranged on the molded part 4, which prevent a direct contact of the contact surfaces 5, 6 of the molded parts 3, 4 with one another.
  • the elevations preferably have a radius of about 6 mm and form over the flat contact surface a projection that stands out about 0.2 mm.
  • Two elevations are preferably arranged centrally on the contact surfaces at the end regions on the longitudinal axis.
  • the molding 4 is provided with a rounded inlet edge 7 and a rounded outlet edge 8 (see Figure 3).
  • the moldings 3,4 are formed of extruded aluminum. These profile materials produce optimally flat contact surfaces with at the same time best thermal stability even in the heating phase with a temperature gradient in the molded part.
  • the hair styling device If the hair styling device is closed without hair being inserted, then the molded part 4 lies with its elevations 9, 10 against the molded part 3 or the heating part 2. This condition is maintained by acting on an actuating lever 15 spring. This is the state in which the hair styling device is usually stored or transported (normal state for the hair styling device of Figure 1).
  • the hair styling device is opened and the user places the hair to be formed between the mold parts 3 and 4. Then the hair styling device is closed and, as explained, pressed with the spring force of the actuating lever 12 associated spring against a stop. The hair is heated by the heating part 2 and compressed between the mold parts 3 and 4. On the hair acts a pressing force. The user can now form the inserted hair with the hair styling device. It is essential that the hair is only slightly loaded when pulling through the hair styling device, since the frictional force between the contact surfaces 5, 6 and the hair is minimized by the enamelling of the contact surfaces 5, 6. Thus, at best, the hair has very little stress and no unpleasant tension is created on the hairline of the user. This effect is further enhanced by the rounded inlet and outlet edges 7, 8. Due to the low friction, the hair slides particularly easily between the contact surfaces 5, 6, the mold parts 3, 4 along.
  • the dome-shaped elevations 9, 10 contribute to the fact that the hair to be formed during use of the hair styling device suffer no stress and also for the user no unpleasant tensile stresses on the hairline occur.
  • the elevations 9, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 are the contact surfaces 5, 6 of the mold parts 3, 4 in their entirety never directly to each other.
