Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Haarformaufsatz zum Anschließen an ein einen Luftstrom erzeugendes Gerät, etwa einen Aircurler, welcher Haarformaufsatz zwei gelenkig zueinander angeordnete, zangenartig verstellbare Arme aufweist, deren zueinander weisende Oberseiten jeweils eine komplementäre Arbeitsfläche zur Ausbildung eines Haarformspaltes aufweisen und wobei zumindest ein Strömungskanal zum Transportieren eines von dem Gerät bereitgestellten Luftstroms innerhalb zumindest einer der beiden Arme des Haarformaufsatzes sowie mit dem zumindest einen Strömungskanal in Verbindung stehende und in den Haarformspalt mündende Luftaustrittsöffnungen in der Arbeitsfläche in dem zumindest einen Arm vorgesehen sind. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung ein Haarformgerät mit einem einen Luftstrom erzeugenden Gebläse und mit einem solchen Haarformaufsatz.The invention relates to a hair styling attachment for connection to an air flow generating device, such as an Aircurler, which Haarformaufsatz two hinged to each other, pincer-like adjustable arms whose mutually facing tops each have a complementary work surface for forming a hair styling gap and wherein at least one flow channel for transporting an air flow provided by the device within at least one of the two arms of the hair styling attachment and with the at least one flow channel in connection and opening into the hair styling air outlet openings in the work surface are provided in the at least one arm. Furthermore, the invention relates to a hair styling device with an air flow generating blower and with such a hair styling attachment.

Zum Formen von Haar werden unterschiedliche Haarformgeräte oder ein handgehaltenes, einen Luftstrom erzeugendes Handgerät (Aircurler) mit unterschiedlichen Haarformaufsätzen verwendet. Zum Glätten oder Locken von Haar werden Haarformaufsätze verwendet, die über zwei gelenkig zueinander nach Art einer Zange oder Schere verstellbare Arme aufweisen. Zwischen den zueinander weisenden Seiten dieser Arme befindet sich ein zur Aufnahme des zu formenden Haares vorgesehener Haarformspalt. Die zueinander weisenden Seiten der Arme tragen jeweils eine Arbeitsfläche. Diese ist bei einem als so genannter Straightener ausgebildeten Haarformaufsatz eben konzipiert. Es sind auch Haarformaufsätze bekannt, deren Arbeitsflächen zum Erstellen von Locken gewellt sind. Die Arbeitsflächen der beiden Arme sind hinsichtlich ihrer Formgebung komplementär konzipiert.To form hair, different hair styling tools or a hand-held, airflow generating handset (Aircurler) with different hair styling attachments are used. For straightening or curling hair hair styling attachments are used which have two articulated arms to each other in the manner of a pair of pliers or scissors adjustable. Between the mutually facing sides of these arms there is provided for receiving the hair to be formed Haarformspalt. The facing sides of the arms each carry a work surface. This is just designed in a so-called Straightener trained hair styling essay. There are also known hair styling articles whose work surfaces are curled to create curls. The working surfaces of the two arms are designed to be complementary in terms of their design.

Haarformaufsätze mit zwei bewegbaren Armen sind typischerweise luftdurchströmt. Mit der von dem Luft erzeugenden Gerät in den Aufsatz einströmenden Warmluftstrom wird die für den Haarformprozess benötigte Wärme zu den Haaren transportiert. Aus diesem Grunde weist zumindest einer der beiden Arme einen Strömungskanal zum Transportieren des von dem Gebläse des Gerätes bereitgestellten Luftstroms auf, wobei dieser Strömungskanal in Luftaustrittsöffnungen der Arbeitsfläche dieses Armes mündet, um die Luft im Bereich der Arbeitsfläche dem zu formenden Haar zuzuführen. Gleichzeitig wird durch die Zuführung der Luft das zumeist feuchte zu formende Haar getrocknet.Hair-shaping attachments with two movable arms are typically perfused with air. With the hot air stream flowing into the attachment from the air generating device, the heat required for the hair shaping process is transported to the hair. For this reason, at least one of the two arms on a flow channel for transporting the air flow provided by the fan of the device, wherein said Flow channel opens into the air outlet openings of the working surface of this arm to supply the air in the area of the working surface of the hair to be formed. At the same time the mostly moist hair to be formed is dried by the supply of air.

Bei einem Betrieb eines solchermaßen konzipierten Haarformgerätes wird dieses typischerweise mit einer Hand an dem als Griffstück ausgebildeten Gerät erfasst. Eine Betätigung der Arme erfolgt über einen Stellhebel, der sich vorzugsweise möglichst weit bis zu dem den Luftstrom erzeugenden Gerät hin erstreckt, um mit derjenigen Hand betätigt zu werden, mit der das Gerät gehalten wird. Erwünscht ist eine Einhandbedienung. Ein derartiger Haarformaufsatz ist beispielsweise aus EP 1 334 670 A1 bekannt.When operating a hair styling device designed in this way, it is typically grasped with one hand on the device designed as a grip. An actuation of the arms via a lever which preferably extends as far as possible to the air flow generating device to be operated with the hand with which the device is held. Desirable is a one-hand operation. Such a hair styling attachment is for example off EP 1 334 670 A1 known.

Da mit der das Gerät haltenden Hand nicht nur der gelenkige Arm zum Öffnen und Schließen des Haarformspaltes zum Einlegen und Auslassen von Haar zu bedienen ist, sondern gleichfalls die Leistung des Lüfters geändert und/oder eine lonenabgabe ausgelöst werden soll, wäre es wünschenswert, die Handhabung eines solchen Gerätes zu vereinfachen.Since with the hand holding the device not only the articulated arm for opening and closing the hair styling gap for inserting and discharging hair is to operate, but also changed the performance of the fan and / or a release of ions to be triggered, it would be desirable to handle to simplify such a device.

Ausgehend von diesem diskutierten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen eingangs genannten, gattungsgemäßen Haarformaufsatz dergestalt weiterzubilden, dass eine Betätigung des oder der gelenkigen Arme vereinfacht ist.Based on this discussed prior art, the invention is therefore the object of developing an aforementioned, generic hair styling attachment in such a way that an operation of the or the articulated arms is simplified.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen eingangs genannten, gattungsgemäßen Haarformaufsatz gelöst, bei dem durch die gelenkige Anbindung zumindest ein Arm gelenkig gegenüber dem anderen Arm angelenkt ist und dieser Arm einen bezüglich der Gelenkachse seiner Arbeitsfläche gegenüberliegenden und winklig zur Ebene der Arbeitsfläche angeordneten und innerhalb des Haarformaufsatzes befindlichen Stellhebelfortsatz aufweist, an den eine Antriebseinrichtung zum Verstellen dieses Armes um seine Gelenkachse gegenüber dem anderen Arm angreift, welche Antriebseinrichtung von einer drehbar gelagerten Antriebswelle angetrieben ist, welche Antriebswelle an ihrem freien Ende ein Kupplungsstück zum Anschließen der Antriebswelle an eine rotierend angetriebene Welle des Gerätes verfügt.This object is achieved by an aforementioned generic hair styling attachment, wherein at least one arm articulated by the articulated connection relative to the other arm and this arm a respect to the hinge axis of its working surface opposite and arranged at an angle to the working surface and within the Haarformaufsatzes located actuating lever extension to which a drive means for adjusting this arm about its hinge axis relative to the other arm is engaged, which drive means is driven by a rotatably mounted drive shaft, which drive shaft at its free end a coupling piece for connecting the drive shaft to a rotationally driven shaft of the device features.

Bei diesem Haarformaufsatz erfolgt eine Verstellung des oder der gelenkigen Arme mittels einer Antriebseinrichtung, die wiederum durch eine elektromotorisch angetriebene Antriebswelle des Gerätes angetrieben wird. Zu diesem Zweck verfügt der zumindest eine gelenkig gegenüber dem anderen Arm gelagerte Arm über einen innerhalb des Haarformaufsatzes angeordneten Stellhebel, der als Verlängerung des die Arbeitsfläche tragenden Arms über die Gelenkachse hinaus vorgesehen ist. Der Hebelfortsatz ist winklig zur Ebene der Arbeitsfläche angeordnet, und zwar dergestalt, dass durch Anlegen einer auf den Hebelfortsatz wirkenden Zug- oder Schubkraft der Arm um seine Gelenkachse verstellt werden kann. Als Antriebseinrichtung eignet sich neben anderen denkbaren Ausgestaltungen ein Spindeltrieb, dessen eines Element die Antriebswelle des Haarformaufsatzes darstellt oder Teil dieser ist. Der andere Teil des Spindeltriebes ist gegenüber dem durch die Antriebswelle rotatorisch angetriebenen Teil drehentkoppelt, jedoch in längsaxialer Richtung beweglich innerhalb des Haarformaufsatzes gelagert. Dieses Abtriebselement ist an den Stellhebelfortsatz des zumindest einen gegenüber dem anderen beweglich gelagerten Armes angeschlossen. Ein Betrieb des Spindeltriebes in die eine oder andere Richtung führt zu einer Längsverstellung des Abtriebselementes und damit zu einer Verstellbewegung des Armes, der im Zuge dieser Bewegung um seine Gelenkachse verschwenkt wird.In this hair styling attachment, an adjustment of the or the articulated arms by means of a drive device, which in turn is driven by an electric motor driven drive shaft of the device. For this purpose, the at least one articulated arm mounted relative to the other arm has a disposed within the hair styling lever which is provided as an extension of the working surface supporting arm on the hinge axis addition. The lever extension is arranged at an angle to the plane of the work surface, in such a way that by applying a force acting on the lever extension tensile or pushing force of the arm can be adjusted about its hinge axis. As drive means is in addition to other conceivable embodiments, a spindle drive, one element of which represents the drive shaft of the hair styling attachment or is part of this. The other part of the spindle drive is rotationally coupled with respect to the rotationally driven by the drive shaft part, but mounted in the longitudinal axial direction movable within the hair styling attachment. This output element is connected to the actuating lever extension of the at least one relative to the other movably mounted arm. An operation of the spindle drive in one or the other direction leads to a longitudinal adjustment of the output element and thus to an adjustment of the arm, which is pivoted in the course of this movement about its hinge axis.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass beide Arme des Haarformaufsatzes gelenkig an ein Schaftstück angeschlossen sind und beide Arme jeweils über einen solchen, innerhalb des Haarformaufsatzes befindlichen Stellhebelfortsatz verfügen, an den jeweils die Antriebseinrichtung angreift.According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that both arms of the hair styling attachment are hingedly connected to a shaft piece and both arms each have such, located within the hair styling lever actuating lever extension, which engages the respective drive device.

Bei einem solchermaßen konzipierten Haarformaufsatz ist die Handhabung des Öffnens und Schließens des Haarformspaltes vereinfacht, da zu diesem Zweck lediglich ein Taster oder Schiebeschalter am Haarformgerät betätigt werden muss. Daher kann der an das Luftstrom erzeugende Gerät angeschlossene Haarformaufsatz mit der das Gerät haltenden Hand zum Öffnen und Schließen des Haarformspaltes betätigt werden, ohne dass die Griffstellung geändert werden müsste. Dies setzt voraus, dass der oder die Bedientaster bzw. Schalter für die Betätigung der Öffnungs- und Schließbewegung des oder der Arme an entsprechender Stelle an dem Gerät angeordnet sind.In a hair styling device designed in this way, the handling of the opening and closing of the hair styling gap is simplified since, for this purpose, only one button or slide switch on the hair styling device has to be actuated. Therefore, the hair styling device connected to the air flow generating device can be actuated with the hand holding the device for opening and closing the hair styling gap without having to change the grip position. This assumes that the one or more buttons or switches for the operation of the opening and closing movement of the arms or the corresponding place on the Device are arranged.

Da ein solcher Haarformaufsatz keine außen liegenden Bedienhebel zum Bedienen des oder der Arme aufweist, eignet sich ein solcher Haarformaufsatz bei entsprechend konturierter äußeren Mantelfläche der Arme in besonderem Maße auch zum Einrollen von Haar.Since such a hair styling essay has no external lever for operating the arm or arms, such a hair styling is suitable for correspondingly contoured outer surface of the arms in particular to curl hair.

Nachfolgend ist die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Figur 1 erläutert. Figur 1 zeigt in einer stark schematisierten Darstellung einen Haarformaufsatz 1. Der Haarformaufsatz umfasst zwei gelenkig zueinander zangenartig verstellbare Arme 2, 2.1. Die beiden Arme 2, 2.1 sind gelenkig an ein Schaftstück 3 angeschlossen. Das freie Ende des Schaftstückes 3 ist als Kupplungsring 4 ausgebildet, um den Haarformaufsatz 1 an ein einen Luftstrom, insbesondere einen Warmluftstrom erzeugendes Gerät 5, beispielsweise als Aircurler ausgestaltet, anschließen zu können. Die Schwenkachse der beiden Arme 2, 2.1 ist in der Figur mit dem Bezugszeichen 6 gekennzeichnet.The invention is based on an embodiment with reference to the attached FIG. 1 explained. FIG. 1 shows a highly schematic representation of a hair styling essay 1. The hair styling attachment comprises two articulated to each other pliers-like adjustable arms 2, 2.1. The two arms 2, 2.1 are hingedly connected to a shaft piece 3. The free end of the shaft piece 3 is formed as a coupling ring 4 to connect the hair styling attachment 1 to an air flow, in particular a hot air flow generating device 5, designed for example as Aircurler. The pivot axis of the two arms 2, 2.1 is indicated in the figure by the reference numeral 6.

Die beiden zueinander weisenden Seiten der Arme 2, 2.1 verfügen jeweils über eine ebene Arbeitsfläche 7, 7.1. Damit ist der Haarformaufsatz 1 als Straightener konzipiert. Das Schaftstück 3 und die beiden Arme 2, 2.1 sind luftdurchströmbar, und zwar von einem über dem Kupplungsring 4 in den Haarformaufsatz 1 einströmenden Luftstrom. Insofern verfügen die Arme 2, 2.1 jeweils über einen Strömungskanal zum Transportieren des von dem Gerät 5 bereitgestellten Luftstroms, insbesondere eines Warmluftstroms. Diese Strömungskanäle münden in in den Arbeitsflächen 7, 7.1 befindliche Öffnung, so dass die über den Luftstrom herangebrachte Wärme den in dem zwischen den Armen 2, 2.1 angeordneten Haarformspalt befindlichen Haaren zugeführt werden kann.The two mutually facing sides of the arms 2, 2.1 each have a flat work surface 7, 7.1. Thus, the hair styling attachment 1 is designed as Straightener. The shaft piece 3 and the two arms 2, 2.1 can be flowed through, namely by an air stream flowing in via the coupling ring 4 into the hair styling attachment 1. In this respect, the arms 2, 2.1 each have a flow channel for transporting the air flow provided by the device 5, in particular a warm air flow. These flow channels open into openings located in the working surfaces 7, 7.1, so that the heat brought about via the air flow can be supplied to the hairs located in the hair styling gap arranged between the arms 2, 2.1.

Im Folgenden ist der Arm 2 hinsichtlich seiner Öffnungs- und Schließbewegung beschrieben. Der Arm 2.1 ist identisch konzipiert. Der Arm 2 verfügt über einen in Bezug auf die Schwenkachse 6 seiner Arbeitsfläche 7 gegenüberliegenden Stellhebelfortsatz. Dieser befindet sich innerhalb des Schaftstückes 3 und ist so daher von außen nicht erkennbar. Innerhalb des Schaftstückes 3 befindet sich eine Antriebseinrichtung 9 zum Verstellen des Armes 2 gegenüber dem Arm 2.1. Die Antriebseinrichtung 9 umfasst eine Antriebswelle 10, an die bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Gewindehülse 11 mit einem Innengewinde drehmomentschlüssig angeschlossen ist. Die Antriebswelle 10 trägt an ihrem freien Ende ein Kupplungsstück 12, mit dem die Antriebswelle 10 an ein komplementär konzipiertes Kupplungsstück 13 des Gerätes 5 angeschlossen werden kann. Die Gewindehülse 11 ist innerhalb des Schaftstückes 3 mit der Antriebswelle 10 drehbar gelagert. Die Gewindehülse 11 sitzt auf einer Gewindespindel 14, die gegenüber der Gewindehülse 11 drehentkoppelt, jedoch in längsaxialer Richtung verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Spindel 14 ist über einen Lenker 15, der seinerseits gelenkig an dem Stellhebelfortsatz 8 und die Spindel 14 angeschlossen ist, verbunden. Auf diese Weise kann von der Spindel 14 auf den Stellhebelfortsatz 8 sowohl eine Zug- als auch eine Schubbewegung übertragen werden. Anstelle des Vorsehens eines starren Lenkers ist es ebenfalls möglich, die Spindel 14 mittels eines Drahtseilstückes an den Stellhebelfortsatz 8 anzuschließen. Mit dieser Ausgestaltung ist eine Schließbewegung des Armes 2 durch die Antriebseinheit 9 möglich, während eine Öffnungsbewegung federkraftunterstützt erfolgt.In the following, the arm 2 is described with regard to its opening and closing movement. The arm 2.1 is designed identically. The arm 2 has a with respect to the pivot axis 6 of its working surface 7 opposite lever extension. This is located within the shaft piece 3 and is therefore not visible from the outside. Within the shaft piece 3 is a drive device 9 for adjusting of the arm 2 opposite the arm 2.1. The drive device 9 comprises a drive shaft 10, to which in the illustrated embodiment, a threaded sleeve 11 is connected torque-tight with an internal thread. The drive shaft 10 carries at its free end a coupling piece 12, with which the drive shaft 10 can be connected to a complementary designed coupling piece 13 of the device 5. The threaded sleeve 11 is rotatably mounted within the shaft piece 3 with the drive shaft 10. The threaded sleeve 11 is seated on a threaded spindle 14 which rotatably coupled to the threaded sleeve 11, but is slidably mounted in the longitudinal axial direction. The spindle 14 is connected via a link 15, which in turn is pivotally connected to the actuating lever extension 8 and the spindle 14. In this way, can be transmitted from the spindle 14 to the actuating lever extension 8 both a tensile and a pushing movement. Instead of providing a rigid arm, it is also possible to connect the spindle 14 by means of a wire rope piece to the actuating lever extension 8. With this embodiment, a closing movement of the arm 2 by the drive unit 9 is possible, while an opening movement is spring assisted.

Wird der Haarformaufsatz 1 entsprechend den beiden Blockpfeilen der Figur 1 auf das Gerät 3 aufgesteckt, werden die beiden Kupplungsstücke 12, 13 miteinander in Eingriff gestellt. Mechanisch gehalten ist der Haarformaufsatz 1 an dem Gerät 5 mittels seines Kupplungsringes 4. Das Gerät 5 verfügt über einen Lüfter zum Erzeugen eines Luftstromes. Zudem verfügt das Gerät 5 über ein Heizregister 16 zum Erwärmen des generierten Luftstroms. Das Gerät 5 verfügt ferner über eine elektromotorische Antriebseinrichtung 17 mit einer Antriebswelle 18, an deren freien Ende das Kupplungsstück 13 sitzt. Der in dem Gerät 5 generierte und durch dessen Gehäuse geförderte Luftstrom ist in der Figur mit einem Blockpfeil gekennzeichnet. Der Luftstrom tritt aus dem Gerät 5 aus und durchströmt das Schaftstück 3, bevor dieser in die Strömungskanäle der Arme 2, 2.1 eintritt, um anschließend dem in dem Haarformspalt zwischen den Arbeitsflächen 7, 7.1 befindlichen Haar zugeführt zu werden.If the hair styling 1 according to the two block arrows of FIG. 1 attached to the device 3, the two coupling pieces 12, 13 are engaged with each other. The hair styling attachment 1 is held mechanically on the device 5 by means of its coupling ring 4. The device 5 has a fan for generating an air flow. In addition, the device 5 has a heating register 16 for heating the generated air flow. The device 5 further has an electromotive drive device 17 with a drive shaft 18, at the free end of the coupling piece 13 is seated. The generated in the device 5 and funded by the housing airflow is indicated in the figure with a block arrow. The air flow exits the device 5 and flows through the shaft piece 3, before it enters the flow channels of the arms 2, 2.1, to then be supplied to the located in the hair styling gap between the work surfaces 7, 7.1 hair.

Ist vorgesehen, den Haarformspalt aus der in Figur 1 gezeigten Offenstellung, in der in den Haarformspalt Haar eingeführt wird, zu schließen, wird durch Betätigen eines an dem Gerät 5 befindlichen Tasters die elektromotorische Antriebseinheit 17 entsprechend angesteuert. Die von dieser generierte Drehbewegung wird auf diese Antriebswelle 10 des Haarformaufsatzes 1 und sodann dem Spindeltrieb 10, 14 zugeführt. Die Spindel 14 bewegt sich bei dieser Bewegung in Richtung zu der Gewindehülse 11 hin, was eine Schließbewegung der beiden Arme 2, 2.1 zur Folge hat.Is provided, the hair styling gap from the in FIG. 1 shown open position, in which hair is introduced into the hairline, close by actuating a button located on the device 5, the electric motor drive unit 17 is driven accordingly. The rotational movement generated by this is supplied to this drive shaft 10 of the hair styling attachment 1 and then the spindle drive 10, 14. The spindle 14 moves in this movement in the direction of the threaded sleeve 11 out, which has a closing movement of the two arms 2, 2.1 result.

Das Gerät 5 verfügt vorzugsweise über eine Überlastabschaltung, damit ein der auf das Haar einwirkender Haarformdruck nicht überschritten wird. Wird ein bestimmter Lastzustand überschritten, schaltet die elektromotorische Antriebseinrichtung 17 ab. Da für unterschiedlich beschaffenes Haar dieses zum Formen unterschiedlichen Druck benötigt, verfügt das Gerät 5 über eine Einstelleinrichtung, mit der die vorgenannte Überlastabschaltung bzw. der die Überlastabschaltung auslösende Schwellwert eingestellt werden kann.The device 5 preferably has an overload switch-off, so that one of the hair styling pressure acting on the hair is not exceeded. If a certain load condition is exceeded, the electromotive drive device 17 switches off. Since this hair required for molding requires different pressures for molding, the device 5 has an adjustment device with which the abovementioned overload cut-off or the threshold value triggering the overload shutdown can be set.

Zum Öffnen der beiden Arme 2, 2.1 zum Auslassen des geformten Haares wird die elektrische Antriebseinrichtung 17 des Gerätes 5 in entsprechend umgekehrter Richtung angesteuert.To open the two arms 2, 2.1 for discharging the shaped hair, the electric drive device 17 of the device 5 is driven in accordance with the reverse direction.

Die Erfindung ist anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben worden. Ohne den Umfang der Ansprüche zu verlassen, ergeben sich für einen Fachmann, ohne dass dieses explizit dargelegt werden müsste, zahlreiche weitere Ausgestaltungen, die Erfindung zu verwirklichen.The invention has been described with reference to an embodiment.
