Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair styling device, in particular for shaping, drying, straightening or waves of hair with a extending in the direction of a first longitudinal axis handle portion and extending in the direction of a second longitudinal axis, preferably heatable hair shaped part, said handle part and hair-molded part via a hinge device relative to each other pivotally connected and the angle between the first and second longitudinal axis of the handle part and hair-shaped part is adjustable.
  • Such hair styling devices such as curling irons, straighteners, crimpers, or the like, are preferably used by the end user to shape, dry, smooth, or wave the hair.
  • the known hair styling devices are substantially rod-shaped, resulting in handling problems for example when shaping the hair in the occipital region of the user.
  • the angle of the hand, elbow and shoulder joint is in an unfamiliar to the user area, so that the user quickly fatigue phenomena occur. This is especially true when the hair styling device has to be held for a few seconds in the respective position in the hair for better hair shaping.
  • threading strands of hair in the hair-shaped part of the device handling is sometimes quite unfavorable.
  • an electric hair styling device for wave or smoothing the hair which has a handle with two mutually movable legs, which are each heated.
  • one leg is fixed and the other leg pivotally mounted on the handle.
  • a lever or a manual actuating member is provided, with which the movable leg can be pivoted against the action of the two legs normally apart spreading spring.
  • At the ends of the mutually movable legs each have a heating block is provided, which on one side a corrugated surface and on the opposite side has a smooth surface, wherein in part the corrugated surface or the smooth surface can be guided in contact with each other.
  • a strand of hair is placed between the two heated legs and pressed against each other by means of the manual actuator, wherein according to the arrangement of the wavy or smooth surfaces of the legs to each other, the hair can be smoothed or curled.
  • US 5,940,980 discloses a hair dryer, the air-conducting housing is connected via a flexible hose with a foot piece, wherein the foot piece can be fastened by means of a clamp, for example, to a piece of furniture.
  • the orientation of the air-conducting part of the hair dryer with respect to the foot piece is arbitrarily adjustable according to the individual needs of the user.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop a hair styling device with the features mentioned that an improved handling by the user or user is possible.
  • a manually operated locking device is provided, with which the hair-shaped part is detectable in the set angle relative to the handle part.
  • a preselected angled arrangement of the hair-shaped part relative to the grip part can be preset by the user or user and this angular position can also be determined so that an improved ergonomic handling of the hair-styling device is made possible.
  • the comfort angle of the wrist can be better maintained. For example, if the device is to be held in the user's hair for a few seconds to absorb the heat, the user will not be tired, or not as fast as with conventional hair styling devices, because of the ergonomic hand posture.
  • threading a strand of hair to unfavorable head positions is facilitated by bending in and locking the hair-molded part relative to the grip part.
  • stepless bending of the hair-molded part relative to the handle part in a wide angular range facilitates the user in virtually every holding and gripping position an improved ergonomic posture.
  • the locking device has one or more arranged on the housing of the handle portion actuating portions which release the locking device when actuated. Due to this measure, it is possible to change the angular position of the hair-molded part relative to the handle part via a one-hand operation, since the locking device releases the locking device only via a change in the pressure of the grip part of the hair-holding device holding hand on the operating part or sections arranged on the handle part and thus the angular position between Hairpiece and handle can be changed. It is understood that the actuating portions may be arranged on the handle part such that an unwanted or accidental release of the locking device is largely excluded.
  • the one or more operating portions may be arranged for example in such a region of the handle part, which is touched only by one or a few fingers of the hair styling device holding hand and causes a deliberate release of the locking device only by active pressure exerted by these fingers of the hand.
  • the hair-shaped part can be transferred via a bias in an initial angular position relative to the handle part, are aligned in the first and second longitudinal axis or hair-shaped part and handle part substantially parallel or coaxial with each other.
  • the hair-shaped part is transferred when loosening the locking device in a preferred angular position, from which the hair-shaped part can be transferred, for example, by contact with the head of the user and re-release the locking device in the desired, deviating from the preferred angular position angular position.
  • angle between the first and second longitudinal axis of the handle part and hair-shaped part in a range of about 180 ° +/- to 60 °, in particular continuously, adjustable.
  • Such a large-scale angular range essentially covers all positions required between the hair-molded part and the handle part during practical handling of the hair-styling device for ergonomic handling.
  • the hinge device comprises a spherical body, which is arranged on the handle portion facing the handle portion and received in a prestressed clamping arrangement of the locking device on the handle portion.
  • a spherical body can also be understood to be a partial spherical body and not just a solid ball.
  • a clamp arrangement and a pliers arrangement or the like can be used.
  • the clip assembly has one, preferably two opposing two-armed lever, which or which is received in the handle portion and pivotally supported on a pivot bearing or are.
  • a single lever for fixing the Häarformteils relative to the handle part, which then, for example, on one side acts on the spherical body, the diametrically opposite spherical surface bears against a rigid abutment.
  • the spherical body of the hair-molded part between spherical, corresponding mating surfaces of the end portions of the short lever arms of the lever is added.
  • the or the actuating portions for releasing the locking device by the one or more longer lever arms or free ends thereof, the lever is formed.
  • the actuating portions are preferably arranged in openings of the housing of the handle portion or disposed below elastic housing wall portions of the handle portion. In the latter case, it makes sense to eject housing perforations of the substantially rigid, inelastic housing with soft elastic plastic, so that then a radially inwardly directed pressure on the longer lever arms can be exercised over this elastic plastic layer on the user's hand, thus free the locking device. In the first case, this radially inward pressure is exerted directly on the longer lever arms or their free end portion.
  • the levers are acted upon or prestressed by means of a compression spring arranged between the longer lever arms in the locking position.
  • a compression spring arranged between the longer lever arms in the locking position.
  • the bias for the transfer of the hair-shaped part in an initial angular position, if the locking direction is released when actuated produced by a tension between the spherical body and arranged in the interior of the handle abutment tension spring.
  • the abutment is designed as arranged between the long lever arms plate or web, which additionally forms a stop for the longer lever arms as soon as they are pivoted radially inward to release the locking device.
  • the pivoting angle of the lever when releasing the locking device by means of the plate or the web is limited.
  • the hair-shaped part is mounted by means of a rotation on the handle part. Because of this measure name, it is avoided that the handle part and the hair-shaped part can rotate relative to one another about the respective longitudinal axis in a rotational manner. This measure is particularly advantageous if the hair styling device serves as a curling iron, in which case the hair strands are to be wound on the hair-shaped part, because the operating parts of the hair-shaped part are not twisted relative to those of the handle part to each other - in the sense of a twist - are arranged.
  • the rotation is formed by tongue and groove means which are positively engaged with each other and are arranged on the spherical body or the mating surfaces of the short lever arms.
  • the ratio of long to short lever arms can be in the range of about 2 to about 10, preferably in the range of about 3 to about 6. Due to this measure, on the one hand, a secure frictional engagement of the ball body between the tongs is ensured due to the use of a strong compression spring. On the other hand, the force expended by the user for releasing the locking device or for overcoming the force of the compression spring is at relatively low values, so that the hair styling device can be actuated without fatigue.
  • the hair-shaped part is equipped with a heating device, which can be heated, for example, by electrical energy or by combustion of a gas-air mixture.
  • a heating device which can be heated, for example, by electrical energy or by combustion of a gas-air mixture.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a hair styling device according to the invention in side view with handle part and hair shaped part in coaxial orientation
  • FIG. 2 shows the hair styling device of FIG. 1 with the hair styling part angled away from the grip part, likewise in side view,
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the hair styling device according to FIG. 1 with a hair shaped part which is angled slightly to the grip part,
