Description

Device for the cosmetic treatment of persons

The invention relates to a device for the cosmetic treatment of persons. Cosmetic treatments in the above sense are understood to include activities such as skin care, shaving, hairdressing, make-up and so on. As a person to be treated is below the person designated ^¬ net that coiffed, makeup, etc., while the Fri ^¬ seur, make-up artist, etc. referred to as treating person be ^¬ records is.

At present, in styling equipment such as hairdressing salons, styling chairs are used to place the customer during the hairdressing process. This Frisierstühle be ^¬ mostly used, which can be adapted to the appropriate height of the customer. Since appropriate hairdressing chairs are arranged in each case with washbasins and / or dressing tables in spatial proximity, a considerable impediment to the workflow for the hairdresser is given if this must run around during the Frisiervorgangs the customer.

Thus, DE discloses 295 13 977 Ul namely a Barber, which is combined with a Frisiermöbel in the form of a washbasin, Fri ^¬ siertisch or the like and can be moved as a unit, yet the problem of spatial hindrance of the work will not flow through the functional unit overcome.

DE 295 08 287 U1 discloses a barber chair, which is designed as a combination of the barber chair with another chair for the hair stylist, wherein the chair is arranged for the hair stylist behind the barber chair. there Both the barber chair and the chair for the hairdresser can be adjusted in height and adjusted to the height of customers and hair stylists. The disadvantage here is that during the hairdressing process the hairdresser can act only in a sitting position behind the customer, for a better overview a hairdressing standing up would be advantageous for the hairdresser. However, this is not possible due to the spatial arrangement of the two chairs as a unit.

Furthermore, DE 101 36 247 A1 discloses a hair washing device which is provided by an arrangement of a barber chair and

Sink is featured. Both the Fri ^¬ sierstuhl and the washbasin to the height of the customer and the hairdresser by height adjustment customizable. In this version, a complete access of the hairdresser to the customer and a disability-free work are not possible.

EP 1 099 395 A1 discloses a service device with height-adjustable styling chairs, which are connected to a transport device, whereby the styling chairs can be moved to different positions according to the needs within the hairdressing salon. Thus, the barber chair between the sink and hair dryer can be moved, whereby the customer throughout the hairdressing process remains on the same hairdressing chair and no change to another hairdressing chair is necessary.

The combination of styling chair and transport device a free spatial access of the hair stylist is made difficult for the customer and the workflow thus not inconveniently obstructed in this embodiment.

There is a need for a device for Kosmeti ^¬ rule treatment of those enables the treatment, for example, hairdressing, wherein the at behan ^¬ delnde person stands. Likewise, there is a need for a device for the cosmetic treatment of persons, the so enables the treatment that the treated Per ^¬ son stands and all sides have access to the person to be treated. Furthermore, there is a need for such a device for display purposes, for example to give third parties at courses, hairdressing competitions, etc. the opportunity to view the process from all sides.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device for overcoming the problem of the spatial accessibility of the customer (person to be treated) for the service provider (attending person). Another object is to allow a comfortable, physiologically and ergonomically correct posture for the people involved. Furthermore, an object of the invention is to enable a cosmetic treatment in front of an audience so that it is visible on all sides.

These and other objects are achieved by a device having the features of independent claim 1. Further embodiments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

To solve one or more of the objects formulated above, a device for the cosmetic treatment of persons is proposed, which comprises a central platform with a standing surface for a person to be treated, and an outer catwalk surrounding this stage with a tread for a treating person, wherein the Stage and the catwalk are height adjustable relative to each other.

In order to ensure improved spatial accessibility of the customer for the hairdresser and thus an unhindered workflow, the proposed device, for example, a hair cutting provided, in which the customer is or sits in a central position on a platform that surrounded by a workspace for the barber is in which the barber standing or sitting the appropriate actions. This makes it possible for the hairdresser to style the customer without physical disability. The hairdresser can walk around the customer according to the needs of the hairdressing process on the outer work area and thus has access to the customer without physical disability.

In principle, the described device primarily enables cosmetic treatments to be carried out on a person to be treated, in which both the person to be treated and the person to be treated stand. In this case the person to be treated is on the stand ^¬ surface of the central stage, while the treating person standing on the running surface of the outer catwalk and be ^¬ may, on the running surface to the treated person moves around. A standing attitude of the persons involved brings with regard to the person to be treated the ^¬ part that this - in contrast to a sedentary person, as hitherto mostly usual - automatically assumes an upright posture, causing the hair fall naturally, which has a positive impact on the result of hairdressing. Regarding the treated person to an upright position is also favored that premature fatigue phenomena ^¬ counteracts and avoids discomfort due to muscle tension. In addition ei ^¬ nem audience can be presented as the proposed device cosmetic treatments that all Arbeitsschrit ^¬ te can be easily recognized presented and viewed from all sides. Of course, the use of the proposed device is not limited to the standing posture of the persons involved, as will be explained in more detail below.

In one embodiment of the invention, the central stage is designed to be height adjustable; Another embodiment provides that the outer catwalk is designed adjustable in height. Of course, it can also be provided that both the central stage and the outer catwalk are designed to be height adjustable. This feature of the pre ^¬ chosen device allows that to be ^¬ acting person and the caregiver are on an equal footing, regardless of any differences in size between the two people. In addition, the device is adjustable for any size difference between a person to be treated and a treating person; the device is therefore universally applicable and within the shortest time for a new application fitting ^¬ bar. This is advantageous in order to ensure an adjustment of Arbeitsbe ^¬ Empire at the height of the customer and the height of the hairdresser, makeup artists, etc.

For example, it can be provided that the central stage has a circular base. In this case, can further be provided that the outer runway has a circular ^¬ annular tread strip which surrounds the central stage. Specifically, this embodiment can be performed ^¬ out, that the central stage, for example, a cylindrical shape and the catwalk a the cylindrical

Stage include enclosing hollow cylindrical shape. One possible embodiment is that the outer cylinder is fixed, while the inner cylinder by ent ^¬ speaking drive means, for example, an internally arranged hydraulic cylinder, an electric motor operated scissor lift or similar hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical or electrical Verstelleinrich ^¬ lines, relative to outer hollow cylinder can be raised or lowered as needed. In an alternative initial design of the runway may comprise only an annular tread which is located for example on the same height level as the floor, and the bueh ^¬ ne be performed relative to the central floor adjustable in height. Further alternatively, the footprint of the central stage may be formed at the same height level as the floor, in which case the catwalk is made height adjustable relative to the floor.

In one embodiment of the invention can be provided that an outer boundary of the outer catwalk is provided which at least partially closes the outer catwalk ^¬ . This limit may be a wall, a railing, a rail or the like. For example, a wall of Plexiglas or other transparent material may be provided. This wall may for example be closed at the top by a horizontally arranged ^¬ tes stainless steel ^tube . This stainless steel tube can for example represent a rail that can serve other purposes, as will be explained in more detail below.

In an expedient embodiment, it can be provided that at the outer boundary of a storage device for storing tools and the like, a mirror, which is, for example, pivotable about at least one axis, a sink or other useful auxiliary devices are arranged.

As already explained in principle above using the example of a horizontally arranged stainless steel tube, it can further be provided that the outer boundary has a horizontal rail on which the depositing device, the mirror, the washbasin and / or further auxiliary devices are arranged in a mobile manner. For example, may be arranged in the form of a service trolley on the perimeter of a Ablageein ^¬ direction. The service trolley can be provided with a rolling or sliding device, which is arranged on the outer boundary and is thus mobile. As a result, necessary tools, such as scissors, comb or hair dryer, hair care, cosmetic and make-up articles, etc. are stored on this service trolley and this if necessary on the outer boundary around the customer to the current Location of the hairdresser or make-up artist to be moved. The storage device may further be provided with a power connector, which feeds one or more power outlets, which provide the power for tools such as Haarschneidema- machines, hair dryers, etc. Alternatively, the power supply for the required tools can also be realized in that the limitation with such interfaces, such as power sockets, is provided.

In the same way, a mirror can be arranged to be movable on the outer boundary of the catwalk. This can also be tiltable about at least one axis, for example, its vertical axis and / or a horizontal axis, in order to achieve a better adaptability to the height of the person to be treated. In addition, a lighting device can be arranged on such a mirror, so that a person looking at himself in the mirror is illuminated frontally.

In a further embodiment, a washbasin is arranged so as to be movable over a movable device on the outer work area and, if necessary, can be moved through the device into the area of the work platform. As a result, all necessary hairdressing operations can be performed on the hair clipper.

In further embodiments, provision may be made for a lighting device to be arranged on the central platform and / or on the outer catwalk in order to achieve optimum illumination of the working area. Of course, the lighting devices can also be made to be movable in order to follow the movements of the person being treated. For example, the lighting devices may be configured to illuminate the customer from below or from other desired lighting directions. This is particularly advantageous in the area of trade fairs or event events and leads to an increased attention and perception of the hair cutting area. Furthermore, the device according to the invention allows optimal visual perception of both the hairdresser and the customer by the audience of the fair or event event.

Furthermore, it can also be provided that a seat device is arranged on the outer catwalk and / or on the outer boundary. This can also be made movable, for example by a rail is provided in the running surface of the catwalk or at the outer boundary, on which the seat device is movably mounted with a rolling or sliding device. As a result, the device can also be used in cases in which the treating person desires to work in a sitting position or in which this is essential. In a further embodiment, this seat device can be connected to a depositing device, for example a service trolley, so that the service trolley follows every movement of the seat device-and thus of the person to be treated.

Finally, it can also be provided that a seat device is arranged on the central platform. This can for example be permanently installed. Advantageously, the seat device is rotatably mounted and height adjustable. In one embodiment of the invention, a hairdressing chair is arranged on the central stage.
