Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hair treatment device which is intended for the specific shaping, including smoothing, of a person's hair, and which can also be used with a device generally designed for the treatment of hair such as a hair dryer, a styling brush, hair straighteners, etc.
- the methods used to treat the hair for shaping usually use hot air blown by a hair dryer or a hair dryer.
- the devices for smoothing the hair type straighteners generally comprise two heated articulating jaws that sandwich a lock of hair and form it by applying heat.
- the hot plates of these devices, even while being coated with ceramic material, are likely, in the long term, to damage the hair due to their high operating temperature.
- US 5,553,632 discloses a hair straightening attachment mounted to the blower end of a hair dryer.
- the accessory comprises a set of two superposed combs, one of which is fixed and the other is slidably mounted laterally relative to the first.
- the base of the comb is located above the hot air outlet end of the hair dryer.
- the moving comb is set in motion by a mechanism actuated remotely by the user. In operation, the combs are inserted in the open position in the hair and then the closing mechanism of the combs is actuated, which thus holds the locks of hair between the teeth of the combs. The locks thus seized are pulled upwards and dried in position by the flow of air blown by the hair dryer.
- Such a device ensures, certainly, the smoothing hair at a lower temperature, but at the risk of exerting significant traction on the hair.
- the forces exerted by the teeth on the locks are not uniform and, therefore, only the thickest lock is grasped and smoothed, the wicks adjacent thinner they can escape to the outside of the combs. This results in a non-uniform, laborious smoothing, which requires a significant processing time.
- this accessory is adapted only to the treatment of long or medium-long hair, a certain length of hair being necessary so that it can be grasped by the device and introduced between the blades of smoothing by pushing them laterally. Moreover, because of its large size around the smoothing blades, this device is not suitable for the treatment of short hair.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a hair treatment device that can ensure an effective and uniform smoothing for all lengths and types of hair to be treated, while respecting their nature.
- Another object of the invention is a hair treatment device which is easy to use and convenient for the person using it, while allowing a fast and effective treatment of the hair.
- Another object of the invention is a hair treatment device which is reliable in operation, while being able to be mass-produced at a lower cost.
- a hair treatment device for receiving a supply of hot air or heat
- the device comprising a housing receiving a row of pairs of protruding clamping blades, at least one of the blades of each pair being movably mounted relative to an adjacent blade, the movable blades of the row are carried by a sliding device set in motion by an actuating system for opening and / or closing the pairs of clamping blades, since each moving blade moves under the pressure of a spring in its housing within the walkman.
- Such a device already operates with a supply of hot air blown for example by a hair dryer or a blower brush, or even with only a heat input by conduction or radiation from an electric heating element belonging for example to a hot tong.
- the heating element may belong to the device, the latter then being provided with a power cable to a source of electrical energy.
- the device comprises a housing which receives and supports at least in part the clamping blades which are protruding with respect to the housing and the body of the device can thus be introduced into the hair to grasp the hair to be treated.
- the clamping blades are arranged in pairs to form clamps being constrained in compression by an elastic means.
- a pair of clamping blades may comprise a movable blade and a fixed blade, the movable blades being in this case all carried by the same player.
- a pair of clamping blades is formed by two movable blades facing each other, the moving blades of one series being carried by a walkman and the moving blades of the other series being carried by a second walkman each player being set in motion by its respective actuating system.
- the relative movement of the blades vis-à-vis a pair of clamping blades is intended to open in the position of separation.
- the device of the invention already makes it possible to open and close the gap existing between the clamping blades to, in the open position, to introduce the hair to be treated and, in the closed position, to perform the treatment. hair coming into contact with the surfaces of two adjacent closed blades.
- each movable blade moves under the pressure of a spring in its housing within the player. This allows each movable blade to move away from an adjacent blade, in a direction determined by its mounting within the player, to better adapt the clamping force to the thickness of the wick inserted between the blades. This displacement is added to the movement made by the player's operating system to move from an open position of a pair of blades to one. closing position and vice versa.
- the blades of a pair being in compression contact under the thrust of an elastic means, the interval they define and, therefore, the thickness of the treated lock, has a variable dimension, while maintaining the blades in close contact against the lock of hair. This allows to treat correctly and individually each lock of hair introduced between the blades, several locks can thus be processed simultaneously, regardless of their length or thickness.
- the movable blades are slidably mounted on guide means belonging to the player. Such a sliding arrangement of the movable blades allows a parallel displacement, for a plane contact, with the adjacent fixed blades.
- the movable blades are pivotally mounted about the pivot axes belonging to the player.
- the pivoting mounting of the movable blades from their base allows a progressive contact of the movable blade, from its point of pivoting, with the lock of hair that the blades of a pair grip, which has the main advantage of a better distribution of the blades.
- the hair is ordered and arranged so as to be parallel to each other and to the surface of the blades, which results in a very good quality of smoothing.
- each pair of blades is formed of a fixed blade and a moving blade vis-à-vis pushed by a compression spring.
- the clamping blades are normally open and the player brings them to a closed position in which they contact the fixed blades vis-à-vis against the force of said spring.
- said player performs an alternative translation movement inside the casing parallel to the longitudinal axis of the row of clamping blades of an amplitude corresponding to the distance between two adjacent fixed blades.
- At least one of the blades of each pair is made of a thermally conductive material.
- Such a thermally conductive material is, for example, aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
- the blades are coated with a ceramic material, an enamel, PTFE or glass to improve the properties of distribution or heat transfer, or slip slides on the hair.
- the blade of thermally conductive material abuts in operation against a blade of a thermally insulating material and the latter is protruding relative to the first.
- Such an arrangement makes it possible to protect the scalp during contact with the end of the blades, while allowing treatment of the hair from its base.
- the fixed blades have a recessed shape for housing the movable blades in the open position of the device.
- Such a configuration of the fixed blades allows the movable blades, in their open position, to completely clear the gap between two adjacent fixed blades and thus the hair to slide better relative to the blades of the gap and to better introduce themselves in this interval, without there being a risk of hair hanging by the blades.
- the device comprises pins arranged on at least one side of the row of clamping blades.
- clamping blades This allows to better grasp the hair to guide them in the interval defined by the clamping blades.
- These pins may be evenly distributed along the row, or they may advantageously be concentrated at the gap between two blades in their open position to guide the hair only within the gap.
- said actuation system comprises a return spring.
- said actuation system comprises an electromagnet.
- an electromagnet actuation system is preferred because this makes it possible, from a simple electronic control, a good transmission of a translational movement, for a lower cost and effortless for the person using it.
- the device of the invention comprises means for detecting the presence of hair between the clamping blades.
- Such detection means can trigger the actuation of the player and thus the closure of the clamping blades as soon as the locks of hair are inserted between the blades. This automates the operation of the device to make it even easier to use and to further increase the efficiency of the treatment.
- said detection means comprise at least one IR sensor.
- IR sensor is however more suitable for the operation of the device of the invention, being simple to install while being very reliable in operation.
- the device of the invention comprises a housing provided with fastening means to the blower end of a hair dryer, the clamping blades being arranged in the air flow, being substantially parallel thereto.
- the device of the invention is mounted at the blower end of a hair dryer, the hair being thus smoothed by the blades of the device heated by the air flow. This allows shaping of the hair by the device using a hot air flow of relatively low temperature, so more smoothly in order to better respect the nature of the hair.
- the row of clamping blades is arranged transversely and on the axis of the air flow and the housing has at least one air outlet opening adjacent to the row of clamping blades.
- the apparatus comprises several air outlet openings arranged parallel to the row of clamping blades.
- the device of the invention comprises a housing provided with fixing means at the blowing end of a styling brush. Since the operation is similar to that with a hair dryer, the arrangement at the end of a blower brush, generally comprising an elongate handle enclosing the means for producing the hot air flow, allows easier handling of the device, while expanding the range of functions of a styling brush.
- the device can be used with a curling tong, the clamping blades of the device being placed in thermal contact with the heating part of the apparatus.
- the invention also relates to a hair dryer comprising a device for hair treatment according to the invention, the latter can then be removably arranged at the blower end of the device or be integrated into the construction of the latter, in the same common housing.
- the hair dryer housing encloses the actuating system.
- the movement can be transmitted by a mechanical return lever to the player of the device, which avoids the use of electrical connector on the treatment device if is removable.

- a hair treatment device 1 shown in the accompanying figures is of the type intended to be attached to the blower end of a hair dryer.
- a hair dryer (not shown in the figures) generally comprises a tubular housing enclosing a fan which produces a flow of air between an air inlet end and a blown air outlet end, as well as a electric heating element arranged in the housing upstream of the air outlet orifice.
- the housing is extended downwards by a gripping handle containing the electrical control portion and connection of the apparatus to food, the handle being provided in addition to control buttons and selecting the operating mode (in particular adjustment of the supply air flow, the temperature) of the hair dryer.
- the hair treatment device 1 comprises an open-ended hollow housing 2 having a slightly flared shape from an air outlet end 4 to an air inlet end 3.
- the housing 2 comprises, at the air inlet end 3, fastening means to the air outlet orifice of the hair dryer. These means may be, for example, grooves 5 (FIG 2b and 3b) in which are inserted resilient fixing hooks belonging to the housing of the hair dryer.
- the device comprises hair treatment elements in the form of clamping blades 7 arranged side by side and forming a row 8 disposed at the air outlet end 4 of the device, in particular diametrically or centered in the most important longitudinal dimension of the opening of this end portion.
- the row 8 of clamping blades 7 is formed of several pairs of blades side by side, each pair having a movable blade 10 and a fixed blade 11.
- the fixed blades 11 are integral with a housing 12 fixedly mounted inside the housing 2 of the device.
- the fixed blades 11 are advantageously made in one piece, by a technique of plastic molding, with the housing 12.

- a housing 16 is thus provided to receive a movable blade 10 and its spring 15 (only two springs 15 have been shown in Figures 2b and 3b, but it is easily understood that each housing 16 includes one).
- the shape of the base 18 of the player 14 and that of a vertical wall 19 are better visible in Figure 2c where we also note the shape of the upper portion 20 of a movable blade 10 which is protruding relative to a vertical wall 19 next.
- a movable blade 10 has a cross section (FIG. 2b, 2d and FIG. 3b, 3d) of doubly bent shape, with the lower portion 21 slidably mounted within the sliding device 14. More particularly, the lower portion 21 of the movable blade 10 is traversed by two parallel guide rods 23, carried by the vertical walls 19 of the player 14. A movable blade 10 is thus caused to slide horizontally, under the pressure of a compression spring 15 inside a housing 16.
- the upper part 20 of a movable blade 10 (fig.2c) has a rectangular shape with a rounded end.
- the profile of a movable blade 10 is generally flat, of almost constant thickness over its height.

- the return to the rest position of the player 14 is done using a return spring 35.
- the return spring 35 is mounted between an abutment 36 of the mobile player 14 and the inner wall of a frame 37 fixedly mounted relative to the casing 12.
- the casing 12 can be fixed at its lower part by screws attachment to the frame 37 with which it forms a protective envelope of the clamping blades and their actuating mechanism.
- Figures 1 to 2c show the device of the invention with the clamping blades 7 in the open or rest position.
- two adjacent blades forming a clamp including a movable blade 10 and a fixed blade 11 define an interval 25 for introduction of the hair to be treated.
- a row 8 thus has several intervals 25 uniformly distributed along its length.
- the device also comprises pins 27 arranged on either side of the row 8.
- the pins are arranged in zigzag by group three on the width of an interval 25, which makes it possible to better grasp the hair for channel them in the gap for treatment.
- the movable blades 10 have a width less than that of the fixed blades 11 and are made to be housed inside the latter in the rest position illustrated in Figures 1 to 2c, which allows the hair to slide better between the blades open to fit easily into intervals 25.
- the device In operation, the device is attached to the outlet end of a hair dryer and is introduced into the hair.
- the fixed blades 11 can then penetrate to the scalp and support it.
- the closure of the clamping blades 7 can be controlled by a command sent to the electromagnet 31.
- the electromagnet 31 then attracts the rod 32 inwards, against the force of the spring of return 35, which has the effect of moving the player 14 with the movable blades 10 in the position shown in Figures 3a and 3b.
- the movable blades 10 initially pressed by the force of the return spring 35 on fixed blades 11 on the left, move against the fixed blades 11 adjacent to the right.
- each movable blade 10 can move individually, against its own compression spring 15 depending on the thickness of the lock of hair that it press against an adjacent fixed blade 11. This allows the set of clamping blades to apply a balanced force and thus a uniform treatment on each of the locks, this not being influenced by the thickness or the length of the lock, all the locks being thus correctly treated.
- the rest of the hair mass is then treated in the same way, starting from the base of the scalp and to the tip of the hair, which makes it possible to evenly treat even very short hair, these being seized as soon as possible. the closing of the clamping blades.
- the electromagnet 31 is connected to electrical supply and control means specific to the processing device 1, its actuation being triggered by the user by means of a control button located for example on the housing 2 of the device.
