Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hair care or hair treatment device having a handle, a handle connectable functional head comprising a hair treatment device, in particular a bristle and / or tine field, and an ion delivery device for applying ions to the hair, the at least one ion outlet having.
  • hair care appliances especially hairbrushes
  • hairbrushes which in addition to their primary function, i.
  • ions bring out.
  • Such ions are usually molecules charged with negative electrons.
  • the hair and hair care can be improved, in particular, a static charging of the hair and a corresponding projection of the hair can be avoided.
  • a hair brush or a hair dryer with integrated brush attachment which has on one side facing away from the bristle back of the device and on the Porstenfeld carrying device front side each having an ion outlet, the ions leak in the direction of the function head.
  • the ions are on the one hand, of course, deliberately applied to the hair, on the other hand, no punctiform, but as evenly distributed as possible impingement of the hair done.
  • the ion discharge is hindered not only by direct mechanical obstacles, such as hairs located in front of the ion outlet, or a user's hand in the way, but also by electrostatic opposing fields, which are strongly negatively charged components, which, so to speak, fend off the negatively charged ions Components with high positive charges, which have an attractive field effect on the ions can go out. Charges of this type can, for example, be generated on the bristle field itself when it is combed through the hair. Also in the region of the ion outlet, electrostatic fields can form on the device housing, which can hinder the ion emission.
  • Another aspect to be improved in previously known hair care devices of the type mentioned is the safety of use, which can be adversely affected by the aforementioned heavy charges on the device. Also, the device should have different types of hair treatment and can be kept different, but always work efficiently and safely.
  • JP 2004344354 A describes a hair treatment device with electrically conductive surfaces.
  • the present invention has the object to provide an improved hair care device of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art and further develops the latter in an advantageous manner.
  • a uniform, efficient ion discharge to the hair is to be achieved with simple means, without impairing the flexibility in the applicability and safety of use of the device.
  • the functional head and the handle should each have an electrically conductive surface on one outer side of the component, and the electrically conductive surface of the functional head and the electrically conductive surface of the handle should be electrically conductively connected to one another.
  • These electrically conductive surfaces assume the electrical potential of a user of the hair treatment device. Having this potential on the hair care device allows more efficient hair treatment.
  • an electrostatic charge and opposing fields can be eliminated at least on the parts of the hair care device by means of suitable countermeasures which stand in the way of the ion discharge on the hair or can impair the ion discharge.
  • suitable countermeasures which stand in the way of the ion discharge on the hair or can impair the ion discharge.
  • uniformly distributed but nevertheless targeted and efficient ionization of the hair can be achieved even with a simple formation of the ion applicator, which in a simple embodiment of the invention can manage with only a single ion outlet.
  • the electrically conductive surface can basically be designed differently.
  • the grounding surface may be formed in the form of a metal surface, which is applied to a non-conductive, preferably made of plastic body or housing part of the functional head and / or the Ionenauslasses.

  • the electrically conductive surface can, as it were, form the bed which carries the bristles or tines of the bristle field or, if appropriate, also differently shaped processing tools of the hair treatment device.
  • the hair treatment device for example, also have a care surface made of a suitable material, such as ceramic, for hair care.

  • the electrically conductive surfaces to connect directly to the hair treatment device, at least the electrically conductive surface on the functional head, the hair treatment device also circumferentially at least partially, preferably annularly surrounded and / or arranged directly adjacent to the hair treatment device.
  • a metal strip may be provided around the hair treatment device on the functional head as an electrically conductive surface.
  • the hair treatment device itself so for example, the bristle and / or tine field, or the housing body of the functional head itself consist of non-conductive material.

  • at least one further, ie third, side surface may also have an electrically conductive surface.
  • the end face of the body may also have an electrically conductive surface.
  • the handle of the hair care appliance should have an electrically conductive surface. This can also serve to dissipate positive charges to the respective user of the hair care device. This will make the user pre-charge protected. Namely, the release of negative ions can negatively charge the user. On the other hand, positive contact charges can be transmitted to the user through the contact surface on the handle, whereby the charging effect is compensated by the negative ions.
  • This is particularly advantageous in the case of an embodiment of the hair care appliance without a mains connection, in particular as a battery and / or cordless appliance. In such a non-power supply, the generation of negative ions usually causes an equivalent amount of positive charge on the device, since the device as a battery or cordless device, the reference potential is missing. Due to this positive charge on the device, a negative charging of the user can be compensated for via the aforementioned electrically effective contact surface on the handle.
  • the electrically conductive surface of the handle and the electrically conductive surface of the functional head are connected to each other in an electrically conductive manner.

  • the course of the conductor is completely within the component into consideration.
  • the electrically conductive surface can also serve as a grounding surface.
  • the electrical potential of the user of the device determines the grounding potential for the hair treatment device.
  • the provision of even more grounding points on the hair treatment device can increase its efficiency.
  • the electrical grounding of the housing component, over which the ion cloud propagates advantageously takes place not in the field of view of the ion cloud, but rather on a housing component side facing away from the ion outlet, in particular an inner surface of the housing component.
  • the device housing may be provided with an ion guide or ion control device in a region over which the ion cloud emerging from the ion outlet propagates, and / or in the vicinity of the ion outlet.
  • a control of the ions can hereby be achieved in an advantageous manner by providing a plurality of separate housing components in the vicinity of the ion outlet, of which at least one is grounded and at least one further earth is formed.

  • an ion guide can be designed differently to produce different propagation patterns.
  • a symmetrical pattern of grounded and ungrounded housing components may be provided in the vicinity of the ion outlet, so that an overall symmetrical ion propagation is achieved.
