  • Such hair styling devices have as moldings, for example, over mold plates and then serve for straightening hair.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • hair styling devices 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a vibration unit can be activated such that it vibrates in different intensities.
  • haptic actuators are particularly suitable for this purpose.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • detection of the closing pressure acting on the hair-shaped part is possible.
  • 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.
  • the tiltable molded part is expediently held captive on the arm on which it is arranged.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the pressure sensor D is connected to an evaluation unit 18.
  • 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.
  • a vibration unit 19 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.
  • comparator circuit can be used as evaluation, for example, a microcontroller.
  • the invention is described by way of example with reference to the figures with reference to hair styling devices designed for straightening hair.
  • 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.
  • a pressure detection via a displacement sensor can also be realized.
  • 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.
