Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair treatment apparatus which is intended to carry out specific drying or shaping, in particular the smoothing, of a person's hair, and which can moreover be used with a device generally designed for hair treatment, such as a hair dryer, a styling brush, a straightener, etc.
  • the generally known methods for treating the hair for shaping or drying generally use hot air blown by a hair dryer or a local application of heat and / or steam from a curling device and / or smooth.
  • 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.
  • the document US 5,553,632 describes a hair shaping accessory mounted at 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 connected to a user-drawn cable. 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 retain the locks of hair between their teeth. 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, of course, drying the hair in the stretched position and at a lower temperature, but at risk to exert a strong traction on the hair.
  • the forces exerted by the teeth on the locks are not uniform and, therefore, only the thickest lock is seized, the smaller wicks nearby being able to , escape outside the combs. This results in a non-uniform, laborious and time-consuming treatment.
  • this document does not address the problem of adjusting the clamping force of the combs.
  • the movable comb is connected to an external cable running along the body of the device to a trigger close to the handle, but such an external cable considerably hampers the passage of the device in the hair.
  • This document also describes a device for adjusting the clamping pressure of the smoothing blades by actuating in rotation a small knurled knob accessible from the side of the device.
  • the setting belongs to the smoothing accessory mounted removably on the device and the actuation of the adjustment button is therefore in the vicinity of the hair. Therefore, this button is inconvenient in operation because it can hang the locks to be treated. Due to its small dimensions, this button is also difficult to handle.

This provides the possibility to mount the operating control of the mobile player anywhere appropriate body of the device, including, but not necessarily on the handle of the device, while retaining the advantages of a mechanism of remote actuation of the device and protected by the housing of the device and a removable treatment device. This removable treatment device can then be replaced by another device or removable accessory requiring or not mechanical actuation control.

  • a return spring 150 is arranged on the rod 159.
  • the second mechanism 175 has a first end formed by a first end 167 of a secondary zipper 162 and a second end constituted by the fork 141 supporting the player 123.
  • the fork 141 has a U-shape, the two parallel branches having in the center an internal notch into which the arm of an elbow lever 163 is inserted.
  • the second end 166 of the rod 159 comes into contact with the secondary zipper 162 belonging to the housing 127 of the treatment device 110.
  • the secondary zipper 162 slides inside the housing 127.
  • the first end 167 of the secondary zipper 162 is brought through a window 178 formed in the annular base 131 made at the outlet of the main body 103 of the apparatus.
  • the first end 167 has in the center an indentation in which the second end 166 of the rod 159 comes into contact with the rod 159.
  • the secondary zipper 162 also has a second end 176 with a rounded tip which comes into contact with a lower arm of the lever 163 mounted to pivot about a raised axis arranged in a direction parallel to the fixed blades 121 and movable 122 (or transverse to the axis of the player 123).
  • the two upper arms make an angle of about 90 ° with the lower arms.
  • the trigger 152 rotates about the pivot axis 153 and the pusher 160 slides the rod 159 forwards in a direction parallel to that of the longitudinal axis 102 of the body 103 of the apparatus.
  • the secondary zipper 162 then also moves forward, causing the blades to close movable 122 against the fixed blades 121 adjacent.
  • the trigger 152 when the trigger 152 is released, it returns to its initial position under the thrust of the spring 150 via the rod 159.
  • the return spring 125 pushes the player 123 thus moving the movable blades 122 of the fixed blades 121.
  • control is performed in the form of a trigger 52 placed on the handle 6, but it is possible to realize it also in the form of a push button mounted on the main body 3 of the device.
