Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haarformgerät mit zwei gelenkig zueinander angeordneten, zangenartig verstellbaren Armen, wobei jeder Arm ein Formteil trägt, das mit dem Formteil des anderen Arms für den Haarformprozess zusammenwirkt, und wobei zumindest ein Formteil zum Erwärmen von in den zwischen den Formteilen befindlichen Haarformspalt eingelegtem Haar ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a hair styling device with two hingedly arranged, pliers-like adjustable arms, each arm having a molded part, which cooperates with the molding of the other arm for the hair styling process, and wherein at least one molded part for heating inserted in the present between the mold parts Haarformspalt Hair is formed.

Derartige Haarformgeräte verfügen als Formteile beispielsweise über Formplatten und dienen sodann zum Glätten von Haar. Bei einem solchen Haarformgerät mit zwei nach Art einer Zange gelenkig aneinander angeschlossenen Armen ist jedem Arm ein solches Formteil zugeordnet. Dabei sind die Formteile zueinander dergestalt angeordnet, dass die zueinander weisenden Seiten derselben einen Haarformspalt zur Aufnahme von Haar einfassen. Wenigstens eines der beiden Formplatten ist zum Unterstützen des Haarformprozesses beheizt. Ein solches Beheizen kann etwa durch Verwenden einer elektrischen Widerstandsheizung realisiert sein, die in die Formplatte integriert sein kann. Gleichfalls sind Haarformgeräte der genannten Art bekannt, bei denen zum Beheizen des zumindest einen Formteils Warmluft verwendet wird. Dieses ist beispielsweise bei Aircurlern der Fall. Dementsprechend weist das Formteil eines solchen Haarformgerätes Luftaustrittsöffnungen auf, damit die den Arm dieses Formteils durchströmende Luft unmittelbar dem Haar zugeführt werden kann.Such hair styling devices have as moldings, for example, over mold plates and then serve for straightening hair. In such a hair styling device with two in the manner of a pair of pliers articulated to each other arms each arm is associated with such a molding. In this case, the molded parts are arranged one another in such a way that the mutually facing sides of the same form a hair styling gap for receiving hair. At least one of the two mold plates is heated to assist the hair styling process. Such heating may be realized, for example, by using an electrical resistance heater which may be integrated into the mold plate. Likewise, hair styling devices of the type mentioned are known in which hot air is used for heating the at least one molded part. This is the case, for example, with aircraft operators. Accordingly, the molding of such a hair styling device on air outlet openings, so that the arm of this molding air flowing through can be supplied directly to the hair.

Bei Haarformgeräten mit Formplatten als Formteile zum Glätten von Haar, deren zueinander weisende Oberseiten glatt ausgebildet sind, ist es zum Erzielen des gewünschten Haarformergebnisses wesentlich, dass beim Schließen des Haarformspaltes durch Schließen der zunächst zur Haareinführung offenen Arme und entsprechendes Bewegen der Formplatten ein gleichmäßiger Haarformdruck auf das in den Haarformspalt eingelegte Haar ausgeübt werden kann. Um einer im Zuge der Erwärmung sich einstellenden Verformung des oder der Arme bzw. der Formplatten zu begegnen, wodurch die planparallele Anordnung der zueinander weisenden glatten Oberflächen der Formplatten beeinträchtigt werden würde, sind Haarformgeräte entwickelt worden, bei denen eines der beiden Formteile durch Einsatz eines oder mehrerer, sich an einem Widerlager abstützender Federelemente schwimmend gelagert ist. Die gegen die Federvorspannung wirkende schwimmende Aufhängung gestattet auch dann eine parallele bzw. planparallele Anordnung der zueinander weisenden Formteiloberflächen bei geschlossenem Haarformspalt, wenn sich unter Umständen eine wärmeausdehnungsbedingte Veränderung der Formspaltgeometrie eingestellt hat. Mit Haarformgeräten, die ein derartig gelagertes Haarformteil aufweisen, können auch unterschiedliche Dicken von in den Haarformspalt eingelegten Haarsträhnen kompensiert werden.In hair styling devices with mold plates as moldings for smoothing hair, the facing top sides are smooth, it is essential to achieve the desired hair results that closing the hair styling gap by closing the first to the hair inlet open arms and corresponding movement of the mold plates a uniform hair form pressure the hair inserted in the hair styling gap can be exerted. In order to counteract in the course of heating adjusting deformation of the arms or the mold plates, whereby the plane-parallel arrangement of mutually facing smooth surfaces of the mold plates would be affected, hair styling devices have been developed in which one of the two moldings by using one or more, is supported floating on an abutment supporting spring elements. The floating suspension acting against the spring preload allows a parallel or plane-parallel arrangement of the mutually facing molding surfaces with closed hair styling gap, if under certain circumstances, a heat expansion-related change in the mold gap geometry has been established. With hair styling devices which have such a stored hair-shaped part, it is also possible to compensate for different thicknesses of hair strands inserted into the hair-styling gap.

Bei Haarformgeräten, die zum Glätten von Haaren vorgesehen sind, kann das Aufbringen einer höheren Klemmkraft unerwünscht sein. Dies ist beispielsweise bei feinem Haar der Fall, da zum Durchführen des Glättprozesses das Haarformgerät typischer Weise mit dem in den Haarformspalt eingelegten Haar von der Kopfhaut beginnend nach außen hin zu den Haarenden gezogen wird. Andererseits ist es zum Erzielen eines bestimmten Haarformergebnisses notwendig, dass ein bestimmter Druck auf das zu formende Haar über die Formteile ausgeübt wird. Dieses gilt auch für Formteile, mit denen Haar gewellt werden soll.In hair styling devices designed to straighten hair, applying a higher clamping force may be undesirable. This is the case, for example, in the case of fine hair, since the hair styling device is typically drawn outwards from the scalp to the hair ends starting with the hair inserted into the hair styling gap in order to carry out the smoothing process. On the other hand, in order to achieve a certain hair-setting result, it is necessary to exert a certain pressure on the hair to be formed over the molded parts. This also applies to moldings with which hair is to be curled.

Ausgehend von diesem diskutierten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein eingangs genanntes Haarformgerät dergestalt weiterzubilden, dass seine Handhabung hinsichtlich des auf das zu formende Haar ausgeübten Druckes in Bezug auf das Haarformergebnis verbessert ist.Based on this discussed prior art, the invention is therefore the object of developing an aforementioned hair styling device such that its handling is improved in terms of the force exerted on the hair to be formed pressure in relation to the hair shape result.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein eingangs genanntes, gattungsgemäßes Haarformgerät gelöst, bei dem einem der beiden Arme eine Druckmesseinrichtung, angeordnet zum Erfassen des beim Schließen des Harmformspaltes auf das zwischen den Formteilen befindliche Haar ausgeübten Druckes oder eines den Druck wiedergebenden Wertes, zugeordnet ist, und dass das Harmformgerät eine Anzeigeeinrichtung zum Anzeigen des erfassten Druckes oder Druckwertes umfasst.This object is achieved by an aforementioned, generic hair styling device, in which one of the two arms, a pressure measuring device arranged to detect the force exerted when closing the Harmformspaltes on the hair between the mold parts pressure or a value representing the pressure is assigned, and in that the harmform device comprises a display device for displaying the detected pressure or pressure value.

Dieses Haarformgerät verfügt über eine Druckmesseinrichtung zum Erfassen des auf das in den Haarformspalt eingelegte Haar durch Schließen der beiden Arme ausgeübten Druckes. Ferner ist eine Anzeigeeinrichtung zum Anzeigen des erfassten Druckes oder Druckwertes vorgesehen. Eine solche Druckmesseinrichtung kann mechanisch arbeitend ausgelegt sein. Gleiches gilt für die Anzeigeeinrichtung, die sodann ein haptisches Signal bei Überschreiten eines vorgegebenen Druckes erzeugt. Bevorzugt wird man als Druckmesseinrichtung einen elektronischen Drucksensor, beispielsweise einen Druckmessstreifen einsetzen, dessen Ausgangssignal eine Auswerteeinheit beaufschlagt. Die Auswerteeinheit kann im einfachsten Fall ein Komparatorglied zum Vergleichen des eingangsseitig anliegenden Druckmesssignals mit einem Schwellwert sein. Der Schwellwert ist vorzugsweise einstellbar, um in Abhängigkeit von der Beschaffenheit des zu formenden Haares und/oder dem gewünschten Haarformergebnis einen höheren oder tieferen Schwellwert zu erhalten. Wird der Schwellwert überschritten, wird die Anzeigeeinrichtung zum Anzeigen, dass der voreingestellte Schwellwert überschritten worden ist, angesteuert. Bei einer solchen Anzeigeeinrichtung kann es sich beispielsweise um eine visuelle Anzeige, realisiert etwa durch LEDs, um eine Audio-Anzeige und/oder auch um einen haptische Signale erzeugenden Aktor, beispielsweise eine Vibrationseinheit handeln. Bei der Ansteuerung der Anzeigeeinrichtung kann vorgesehen sein, dass diese mehrere Druckstufen einer das Haarformgerät nutzenden Person kenntlich macht, etwa durch Ansteuern zusätzlicher LEDs bei Überschreiten weiterer Druckschwellwerte. Gleichfalls kann eine Vibrationseinheit bei Überschreiten unterschiedlicher Druckschwellwerte angesteuert werden, dass diese in unterschiedlicher Intensität vibriert. Typischerweise wird man eine solche Anzeigeeinrichtung vorsehen, die einem Benutzer das Erreichen eines bestimmten Druckschwellwertes kenntlich macht, ohne dass dieser seinen Blick von dem zu formenden Haar abwenden muss. Daher eignen sich haptische Aktoren zu diesem Zweck besonders.This hair styling device has a pressure measuring device for detecting the pressure applied to the hair inserted in the hair styling gap by closing the two arms. Further, a display device provided for displaying the detected pressure or pressure value. Such a pressure measuring device can be designed mechanically working. The same applies to the display device, which then generates a haptic signal when a predetermined pressure is exceeded. Preferably, an electronic pressure sensor, for example a pressure measuring strip, whose output signal acts on an evaluation unit, will be used as the pressure measuring device. In the simplest case, the evaluation unit can be a comparator element for comparing the pressure measurement signal present on the input side with a threshold value. The threshold value is preferably adjustable in order to obtain a higher or lower threshold value depending on the nature of the hair to be formed and / or the desired hair shape result. If the threshold value is exceeded, the display device is triggered to indicate that the preset threshold value has been exceeded. Such a display device may be, for example, a visual display realized, for example, by LEDs, an audio display and / or a haptic signal-generating actuator, for example a vibration unit. When activating the display device, it can be provided that it makes several pressure levels of a person using the hair styling device recognizable, for example by activating additional LEDs when further pressure threshold values are exceeded. Likewise, if different pressure threshold values are exceeded, a vibration unit can be activated such that it vibrates in different intensities. Typically, one will provide such a display device which makes a user aware of the achievement of a certain pressure threshold, without this having to avert his gaze from the hair to be formed. Therefore, haptic actuators are particularly suitable for this purpose.

In einer Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, dass ein erstes Signal über die Anzeigeeinrichtung abgegeben wird, wenn ein unterer Druckschwellwert überschritten ist und dass ein zweites Signal abgegeben wird, wenn ein weiterer Druckschwellwert überschritten wird. Auf diese Weise kann ein Druckintervall definiert werden, mit dem der Haarformprozess ausgeführt werden soll.In a further development, it is provided that a first signal is emitted via the display device when a lower pressure threshold is exceeded and that a second signal is emitted when a further pressure threshold is exceeded. In this way, a print interval can be defined, with which the hair styling process should be carried out.

Die Druckmesseinrichtung ist gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel in einem Arm des Haarformgerätes dergestalt angeordnet, dass sich auf diesem ein Formteil mit seiner Rückseite abstützt. Zu diesem Zweck verfügt das Formteil über einen an seiner Rückseite angeordneten Stützkörper, mit dem dieses Formteil unter Zwischenschaltung einer vorzugsweise als Druckmessstreifen ausgebildeten Druckmesseinrichtung an einem Widerlager abgestützt gehalten ist, wobei der Stützkörper angeordnet ist, damit das Formteil infolge dieser Abstützung nach Art einer Wippe bewegbar belagert ist. Infolge dieser vorzugsweise punktuellen Abstützung ist nicht nur eine Beweglichkeit des Formteils nach Art einer schwimmenden Lagerung bereitgestellt, sondern infolge der Einpunktabstützung ist zudem eine Druckerfassung gewährleistet, letztendlich unabhängig davon, wo sich innerhalb des Haarformspaltes das zu formende Haar befindet. Der Stützkörper ist angeordnet, um eine Wippbewegung des Formteils zu gestatten. Typischer Weise wird sich der Stützkörper etwa im Bereich der Mitte des Formteils, bezogen auf seine Längserstreckung in Längsrichtung des Armes befinden. Dieses Formteil ist in dem zugelassenen Wippbetrag, der typischer Weise anschlagbegrenzt ist, frei bewegbar, wenn auf der Formoberseite des Formteils kein Anlagedruck durch das andere Formteil aufgebracht wird. Werden die Arme dieses Haarformgerätes zum Schließen des Haarformspaltes geschlossen, legen sich aufgrund der beschriebenen Wippenlagerung des einen Formteils die beiden den Haarformspalt begrenzenden Formteiloberflächen bestimmungsgemäß aneinander. Die Abstützung des Formteils mittels des Stützkörpers am Widerlager stellt sodann das Widerlager zum Ausbringen des gewünschten Klemmdruckes dar. Ausgenutzt wird bei diesem Haarformgerät das Zusammenwirken der beiden Formteile beim Haarformprozess, und zwar dahingehend, dass ein Anschmiegen des wippbar angeordneten Formteils mit seiner Formoberfläche an die Formoberfläche des anderen Formteils im Zuge des Schließens des Haarformspaltes durch entsprechendes Einrichten des wippbaren Formteils in Abhängigkeit von der Ausrichtung der Formoberfläche des anderen Formteils erfolgt. Gleichzeitig ist eine Erfassung des auf das Haarformteil wirkenden Schließdruckes möglich.The pressure measuring device is according to a preferred embodiment arranged in one arm of the hair styling device such that is supported on this a molding with its back. For this purpose, the molded part has a support body arranged on its rear side, with which this molded part is held supported on an abutment with the interposition of a pressure measuring device preferably designed as a pressure measuring strip, wherein the supporting body is arranged so that the molded part can be moved in the manner of a rocker as a result of this support besieged. As a result of this preferably punctiform support not only a mobility of the molding is provided in the manner of a floating storage, but also a pressure detection is ensured due to the Einpunktabstützung, ultimately regardless of where the hair to be formed is located within the hairline nip. The support body is arranged to allow a rocking movement of the molding. Typically, the support body will be located approximately in the region of the center of the molding, with respect to its longitudinal extension in the longitudinal direction of the arm. This molding is freely movable in the permitted rocking amount, which is typically stop-limited, when no contact pressure is applied by the other molding on the mold top of the molding. If the arms of this hair styling device are closed to close the hair styling gap, the two molded part surfaces bounding the hair styling gap are intended to abut on the basis of the above-described rocker mounting of one molded part. The support of the molding by means of the support body on the abutment is then the abutment for applying the desired clamping pressure is exploited in this hair styling device, the interaction of the two mold parts in hair styling process, to the effect that nestling of the tiltable arranged molding with its mold surface to the mold surface the other molding takes place in the course of closing the hair styling gap by correspondingly setting up the tiltable molding as a function of the orientation of the molding surface of the other molding. At the same time, detection of the closing pressure acting on the hair-shaped part is possible.

Je nach Ausgestaltung des Haarformgerätes kann vorgesehen sein, dass bei offenem Haarformspalt das wippbar angeordnete Formteil keine eindeutige Raumlage aufweist, mithin nicht durch die Rückstellkraft von Federelementen in einer Ausgangsstellung gehalten ist. Gleichwohl können derartige Federelemente vorgesehen sein. Werden keine Federelemente vorgesehen, wirkt auf das in den Haarformspalt dieses Haarformgerätes eingelegte Haar nur derjenige Klemmdruck, der seitens eines Benutzers zum Schließen der Arme ausgeübt wird.Depending on the configuration of the hair styling device, it can be provided that, when the hair styling gap is open, the tiltably arranged molded part has no clear spatial position, and is therefore not held in a starting position by the restoring force of spring elements. Nevertheless, you can be provided such spring elements. If no spring elements are provided, only the one clamping pressure applied by a user to close the arms acts on the hair inserted into the hair-styling gap of this hair-styling device.

Das wippbare Formteil ist zweckmäßiger Weise an dem Arm, an dem dieses angeordnet ist, unverlierbar gehalten. Zu diesem Zweck kann das Formteil über Führungsfortsätze, angeformt an einer oder beiden in Wipprichtung weisenden Seiten verfügen, die jeweils in einer armseitig vorgesehenen Ausnehmung, beispielsweise einen Käfig eingreifen. Die Länge der Ausnehmung in Bewegungsrichtung des darin eingreifenden Führungsfortsatzes definiert sodann den Wippbetrag und hält zudem das Formteil unverlierbar an dem Arm.The tiltable molded part is expediently held captive on the arm on which it is arranged. For this purpose, the molded part can have guide extensions, integrally formed on one or both sides pointing in the direction of the wiping direction, which respectively engage in a recess provided on the arm side, for example a cage. The length of the recess in the direction of movement of the guide extension engaging therein then defines the rocking amount and also holds the molded part captive on the arm.

Ist eine Wippbewegung des wippbaren Formteils, welches beispielsweise als Formplatte ausgebildet ist, in mehreren Richtungen gewünscht, wird man vorzugsweise einen domartig konzipierten Stützkörper, der auf die Druckmesseinrichtung wirkt, vorsehen.If a rocking movement of the tiltable molded part, which is designed, for example, as a mold plate, desired in several directions, it is preferable to provide a dome-like designed support body, which acts on the pressure measuring device.

Nachfolgend ist die Erfindung anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Figuren beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Ein im Übrigen nicht näher dargestelltes Haarformgerät 1 verfügt über zwei gelenkig zueinander angeordnete Arme 2, 3. Die Arme 2, 3 sind um die durch einen Schwenkbolzen 4 gebildete Achse zueinander zangenartig zum Öffnen und Schließen derselben verstellbar, wie dieses in Figur 1 durch die Doppelpfeile an den Enden der Arme 2, 3 angedeutet ist. Das Haarformgerät 1 ist zum Glätten von Haar ausgebildet und verfügt als Formteile über zwei Formplatten 5, 6. Die Formplatten 5, 6 sind in nicht näher dargestellter Art und Weise beheizt, beispielsweise durch Integration eines PTC-Heizelementes. Die zueinander weisenden Oberflächen 7 bzw. 8 der Formplatten 5, 6 sind bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eben und glatt ausgebildet. Die beiden Oberflächen 7, 8 fassen einen Haarformspalt 9 ein. Dieser ist, wie in Figur 1 erkennbar, geöffnet. Diese Stellung der Arme 2, 3 zueinander dient zur Aufnahme von zu glättendem Haar in den Haarformspalt 9.An otherwise not shown hair styling device 1 has over two articulated arms 2, 3. The arms 2, 3 are about the axis formed by a pivot pin 4 pincer-like to open and close the same adjustable as this in FIG. 1 indicated by the double arrows at the ends of the arms 2, 3. The hair styling device 1 is designed for straightening hair and has as moldings two mold plates 5, 6. The mold plates 5, 6 are heated in a manner not shown, for example by integration of a PTC heating element. The mutually facing surfaces 7 and 8 of the mold plates 5, 6 are flat and smooth in the illustrated embodiment. The two surfaces 7, 8 grasp a hair styling gap 9. This is how in FIG. 1 recognizable, opened. This position of the arms 2, 3 to one another serves to receive hair to be smoothed in the hair-styling nip 9.

Die Formplatte 5 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel starr mit dem Arm 2 verbunden. Im Unterschied hierzu ist die Formplatte 6 gegenüber dem Arm 3 bzw. seiner Formplatte 6 nach Art einer Wippe gelagert. Zu diesem Zweck ist an die Rückseite 10 der Formplatte 6 ein domartiger Stützkörper 11 angeformt. Der Stützkörper 11 stützt sich unter Zwischenschaltung eines Drucksensors D seinerseits auf der Oberseite der Formplattenaufnahme 12 des Armes 3 ab. Diese stellt bezüglich der Formplatte 6 bzw. deren Stützkörper 11 ein Widerlager W dar. Somit wirkt die Formplatte 6 über ihren Stützkörper 11 punktuell auf den Drucksensors D, wenn auf die Formplatte 6 in Richtung zu dem Widerlager W hin ein Druck ausgeübt wird. Die Formplattenaufnahme 12 dient ebenfalls zur Begrenzung einer Verschiebebewegung der Formplatte 6 in Längs- und in Querrichtung zu dem Arm 3. An die Formplatte 6 sind an den sich quer zur Längserstreckung des Armes 3 angeordneten Seitenflächen jeweils ein Führungsfortsatz 13, 14 angeformt. Die Führungsfortsätze 13, 14 greifen ein in jeweils einen Führungskäfig 15, 16, durch den die Wippbewegung, wie durch den Doppelpfeil in Figur 1 angedeutet in Längsrichtung des Armes 3 begrenzt ist. Gleichzeitig ist durch das Eingreifen der Führungsfortsätze 13, 14 in die Führungskäfige 15 bzw. 16 die Formplatte 6 unverlierbar an dem Arm 3 gehalten.The mold plate 5 is rigidly connected to the arm 2 in the illustrated embodiment. In contrast, the mold plate 6 is mounted relative to the arm 3 and its mold plate 6 in the manner of a rocker. For this purpose, a dome-shaped support body 11 is integrally formed on the back 10 of the mold plate 6. The support body 11 is supported by the interposition of a pressure sensor D in turn on the top of the form plate holder 12 of the arm 3 from. This represents with respect to the mold plate 6 and its support body 11 is an abutment W. Thus, the mold plate 6 acts on their support body 11 punctiform on the pressure sensor D when pressure is applied to the mold plate 6 in the direction of the abutment W out. The mold plate holder 12 also serves to limit a displacement movement of the mold plate 6 in the longitudinal and transverse to the arm 3. On the mold plate 6 are each formed on the transverse to the longitudinal extent of the arm 3 side surfaces a guide extension 13, 14. The guide extensions 13, 14 engage in a respective guide cage 15, 16, through which the rocking movement, as shown by the double arrow in FIG. 1 indicated in the longitudinal direction of the arm 3 is limited. At the same time the mold plate 6 is held captive on the arm 3 by the engagement of the guide extensions 13, 14 in the guide cages 15 and 16, respectively.

Die in Figur 2 gezeigte Draufsicht auf die Rückseite 10 der Formplatte 6 zeigt die Anordnung des domartigen Stützkörpers 11, der sich im Zentrum der Rückseite 10 der Formplatte 6 befindet. Aufgrund seiner domartigen Rundung ist bei dem in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel die Formplatte 6 in unterschiedliche Richtungen um den Scheitel des Stützkörpers 11 aufgrund der Abrollbewegung desselben auf dem an dem Widerlager W flächig anliegenden Drucksensor D wippbar.In the FIG. 2 shown top view of the back 10 of the mold plate 6 shows the arrangement of the dome-like support body 11, which is in the center the back 10 of the mold plate 6 is located. Due to its dome-like curve is in the in FIG. 1 illustrated embodiment, the mold plate 6 in different directions about the apex of the support body 11 due to the rolling movement of the same on the abutment W applied pressure sensor D teetering.

Figur 3 zeigt das bezüglich seines Haarformspaltes 9 geschlossene Haarformgerät 1. Deutlich erkennbar ist, dass die beiden zueinander weisenden Oberflächen 7, 8 parallel aneinander anliegen. Aus der in Figur 1 gezeigten Stellung der Formplatte 6 wird diese in ihre in Figur 3 gezeigte Stellung beim Schließen der beiden Arme 2, 3 gebracht, indem im Zuge des Schließvorganges die Formplatte 5 mit ihrem hinteren, zu dem Schwenkbolzen 4 weisenden Ende an dasselbe Ende der Formplatte 6 anstößt und im Zuge des weiteren Schließens durch die Schließbewegung die Formplatte 6 soweit kippt, dass die beiden Oberflächen 7, 8, wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, aneinander grenzen. Auf diese Weise kann ohne Weiteres ein Ausgleich eines beispielsweise bei einer Erwärmung eintretenden Verzuges ausgeglichen werden. Dennoch ist aufgrund der gezeigten Abstützung der Formplatte 6 und der Anordnung des Drucksensors D eine Erfassung des auf die Formplatte 6 wirkenden Schließdruckes möglich. FIG. 3 shows the hair styling device 1 closed with respect to its hair styling gap 9. It can be clearly seen that the two mutually facing surfaces 7, 8 abut each other in parallel. From the in FIG. 1 shown position of the mold plate 6, this is in their in FIG. 3 shown position when closing the two arms 2, 3 brought by in the course of closing the mold plate 5 abuts with its rear, pointing to the pivot pin 4 end to the same end of the mold plate 6 and in the course of further closing by the closing movement of the mold plate 6 so far tilts that the two surfaces 7, 8, as in FIG. 3 shown, bordering each other. In this way, a compensation of a delay occurring, for example, in a warming can be compensated easily. Nevertheless, due to the shown support of the mold plate 6 and the arrangement of the pressure sensor D, a detection of the pressure acting on the mold plate 6 closing pressure is possible.

Auch wenn, wie in Figur 4 gezeigt, eine Haarsträhne ungleich im Haarformspalt 9 angeordnet ist, gewährleistet die wippbare Anordnung der Formplatte 6, dass ein gleichmäßiger Klemmdruck auf die in den Haarformspalt 9 eingelegten Haare ausgeübt wird, und dieser Klemmdruck allein durch die auf die Arme 2, 3 wirkende Schließkraft zurückzuführen ist.Even if, as in FIG. 4 shown, a strand of hair is arranged unequally in the hairline nip 9, ensures the tiltable arrangement of the mold plate 6, that a uniform clamping pressure is exerted on the inserted hair in the hairline 9 hair, and this clamping pressure is due solely by acting on the arms 2, 3 closing force ,

Der Drucksensor D ist an eine Auswerteeinheit 18 angeschlossen. Somit ist die Auswerteeinheit 18 von den Ausgangssignalen des Drucksensor D beaufschlagt. Die Auswerteeinheit 18 umfasst bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Komparatorschaltung zum Vergleichen des von dem Druckmessstreifen D gelieferten Eingangssignales mit einem vorgegebenen Schwellwert. Angeschlossen an die Auswerteeinheit 18 ist als Anzeigeeinrichtung eine Vibrationseinheit 19. Von der Auswerteeinheit 18 wird die Vibrationseinheit 19 bei Überschreiten des Druckschwellwertes angesteuert, womit einem Benutzer des Haarformgerätes 1 das Erreichen eines vorgegebenen, auf die in den Haarformspalt 9 eingelegten Haare 17 wirkenden Druckes angezeigt bzw. haptisch zur Kenntnis gebracht wird. Der Schwellwert ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eingestellt, um einem Benutzer das Erreichen eines für das gewünschte Glätten bei einer bestimmten Haarbeschaffenheit notwendigen Haarformdruck anzuzeigen. Der Auswerteeinheit 18 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine nicht dargestellte Einstelleinrichtung zugeordnet, über die der Druckschwellwert eingestellt werden kann. In Abhängigkeit von der Beschaffenheit der zu formenden Haare wird dieser höher oder niedriger eingestellt. Um ein bestimmtes Haarformergebnis zu erzielen, ist es bei bestimmten Haaren notwendig, den Haarformprozess bei einem höheren Druck auszuführen als bei anderen Haaren.The pressure sensor D is connected to an evaluation unit 18. Thus, the evaluation unit 18 is acted upon by the output signals of the pressure sensor D. The evaluation unit 18 comprises in the illustrated embodiment, a comparator circuit for comparing the supplied from the pressure measuring strip D input signal with a predetermined threshold. Connected to the evaluation unit 18 is a vibration unit 19 as a display device. The evaluation unit 18 actuates the vibration unit 19 when the pressure threshold value is exceeded, thus enabling a user of the hair styling device 1 to reach a predetermined hair 17 inserted in the hair styling gap acting pressure is displayed or haptically brought to the knowledge. The threshold is set in this embodiment to indicate to a user the achievement of a hair styling pressure necessary for the desired straightening for a particular hair condition. The evaluation unit 18 is associated with an adjustment device, not shown, in the illustrated embodiment, via which the pressure threshold can be set. Depending on the nature of the hair to be formed this is set higher or lower. In order to achieve a certain hair shape result, it is necessary for certain hair to carry out the hair shaping process at a higher pressure than other hairs.

Der Einfachheit halber sind die elektrischen Anschlüsse und die Stromversorgung für den Drucksensor D, die Auswerteeinheit 18 und die Vibrationseinheit 19 nicht dargestellt.For the sake of simplicity, the electrical connections and the power supply for the pressure sensor D, the evaluation unit 18 and the vibration unit 19 are not shown.

Anstelle einer Komparatorschaltung kann als Auswerteeinheit beispielsweise auch ein Mikrocontroller eingesetzt sein.Instead of a comparator circuit can be used as evaluation, for example, a microcontroller.

Die Erfindung ist unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren beispielhaft anhand von zum Glätten von Haaren konzipierten Haarformgeräte beschrieben. Gleichermaßen lässt sich die beschriebene wippbare Anordnung des Formteils auch auf andere Haarformgeräte übertragen oder auch für solche Formteile einsetzen, die zum Ausbilden anderer Haarformen, beispielsweise Locken und Wellen verwendet werden. Anstelle des in der Figurenbeschreibung gezeigten Drucksensors als Druckmesseinrichtung kann ebenfalls eine Druckerfassung über einen Wegmesssensor realisiert sein. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung arbeitet ein Geberelement gegen die Kraft einer Rückstellfeder, wobei die Rückstellfeder sich zwischen der Rückseite des Formteils und einem Widerlager abstützend gehalten ist. Das Maß, mit dem die Feder gegen ihre Rückstellkraft bewegt wird, ist ein Maß für den aufgebrachten Druck.The invention is described by way of example with reference to the figures with reference to hair styling devices designed for straightening hair. Similarly, the described tiltable arrangement of the molding can also be transferred to other hair-styling devices or used for such moldings, which are used to form other hair shapes, such as curls and waves. Instead of the pressure sensor shown in the figure description as a pressure measuring device, a pressure detection via a displacement sensor can also be realized. In such an embodiment, a donor element operates against the force of a return spring, wherein the return spring is held supporting between the back of the molding and an abutment. The extent to which the spring is moved against its restoring force is a measure of the applied pressure.
