Description
La présente invention concerne un appareil de coiffure utilisant de la vapeur et destiné à la mise en forme par contact avec les cheveux, notamment destiné au lissage, au bouclage ou au gaufrage des cheveux d'une personne.The present invention relates to a hairdressing appliance using steam and intended for shaping by contact with the hair, in particular for smoothing, wrapping or embossing the hair of a person.
On connaît traditionnellement deux types d'appareils de coiffure permettant le lissage ou le bouclage ou le gaufrage dont les surfaces venant pincer les cheveux sont planes ou courbes ou accidentées et sont chauffées ou chauffantes.
Les appareils du type pinces à lisser ou boucler ou à gaufrer comportent généralement deux mâchoires pivotantes comprenant chacune une extrémité supportant une surface de traitement, au moins l'une des surfaces de traitement étant chauffée, l'autre étant prévue pour amener les cheveux en contact avec la première, notamment en passant d'une position d'ouverture des mâchoires permettant l'insertion des cheveux à une position de fermeture pour leur mise en contact avec la partie chauffante.
L'autre extrémité des mâchoires forme deux demi-poignées faisant office de zone de préhension et permettant de passer de la position d'ouverture à celle de fermeture. Le passage se fait manuellement en pressant les deux demi-poignées articulées de l'appareil l'une vers l'autre pour amener les surfaces de traitement au contact des cheveux. Le lissage d'une mèche de cheveux s'effectue en déplaçant l'appareil le long de cette mèche, de la racine vers la pointe. Le bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux se fait en enroulant au moins partiellement la mèche autour de la ou des surfaces de traitement et appliquant de la chaleur pour fixer la boucle principalement en statique.
Il est prévu dans de tels appareils, pour améliorer la mise en forme des cheveux, d'utiliser additionnellement de la vapeur projetée sur les cheveux.Two types of hairdressing apparatus are traditionally known for smoothing or curling or embossing, the surfaces of which pinch the hair are flat or curved or uneven and are heated or heated.
The devices of the type pliers to smooth or loop or emboss usually comprise two pivoting jaws each having an end supporting a treatment surface, at least one of the treatment surfaces being heated, the other being provided to bring the hair in contact with the first, in particular by passing from an opening position of the jaws allowing the insertion of the hair to a closed position for their contact with the heating part.
The other end of the jaws form two half-handles acting as a gripping area and to move from the open position to the closing position. The passage is done manually by pressing the two half-handles articulated of the device towards one another to bring the treatment surfaces in contact with the hair. Smoothing a lock of hair is done by moving the device along the wick, from the root to the tip. The wrap of a lock of hair is made by at least partially winding the wick around the treatment surface (s) and applying heat to fix the loop mainly in static.
It is provided in such devices, to improve the shaping of the hair, to additionally use steam sprayed on the hair.

Ces buts sont atteints avec un appareil de coiffure 1 à vapeur destiné à la mise en forme des cheveux comprenant une première surface de traitement 4 destinée à venir en contact avec les cheveux, des moyens de réglage de débit de fluide 6, des moyens de vaporisation du fluide 7, des moyens de distribution de la vapeur (7',7") à destination des cheveux, une unité de contrôle 13 pour commander au moins les moyens de réglage de débit de fluide 6, les moyens de réglage de débit de fluide comprenant une pompe péristaltique 6. L'usage inédit d'une pompe péristaltique permet d'obtenir un appareil compact, étanche, efficace en amorçage, de forte endurance, pour un débit assez faible, un débit possible constant, insensible au positionnement dans l'espace selon les gestes de l'utilisateur, simple, etfournissant une grande sécurité.These objects are achieved with a
Selon l'invention la pompe péristaltique 6 peut comprendre au moins une canalisation de fluide (62) et un organe de pincement 61 de la canalisation. Ceci permet d'obtenir un débit de fluide contrôlé au mieux.According to the invention the
Selon l'invention la pompe péristaltique 6 peut comprendre un unique organe de pincement 61 préférentiellement arrangé avec une canalisation de fluide 62 formant une boucle complète. Un tel agencement permet de mettre en communication de fluide un réservoir de fluide et les moyens de vaporisation et la canalisation de fluide forme une boucle complète permettent de rendre la pompe plus compacte.According to the invention the
Selon une première alternative de l'invention, la pompe péristaltique peut être une pompe monogalet 65. Ce monogalet présente une zone d'appui restreinte qui sollicite assez peu le moteur de la pompe. La réduction du couple de frottement est plus faible et donc la consommation du moteur est plus faible. Ceci permet de choisir un moteur moins encombrant. Une telle pompe péristaltique peut alternativement présenter deux ou trois galets. Chaque galet peut être monté sur ressort disposé radialement pour garantir encore plus l'étanchéité quand la pompe est au repos et pour réduire le vieillissement du tuyau.According to a first alternative of the invention, the peristaltic pump may be a
Selon une deuxième alternative de l'invention, la pompe péristaltique peut être une pompe avec un excentrique 66. Cet excentrique a pour avantage de pincer peu le tuyau, et permet d'augmenter la durée de vie du tuyau ou de choisir un tuyau dont le matériau est relativement souple.According to a second alternative of the invention, the peristaltic pump may be a pump with an eccentric 66. This eccentric has the advantage of little pinch the pipe, and can increase the life of the pipe or choose a pipe whose material is relatively flexible.
Selon l'invention, l'appareil comprend une première et une deuxième mâchoire 2, 3 disposées en regard l'une de l'autre, la première surface de traitement 4 étant portée par la première mâchoire 2, une deuxième surface de traitement 5 portée par la deuxième mâchoire 3, les mâchoires étant reliées de sorte à passer d'une position ouverte à une position fermée de sorte que les surfaces (4,5) pincent une mèche de cheveux. L'appareil obtenu permet de pincer les cheveux et vaporiser de la vapeur vers les cheveux.According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a first and a
Selon l'invention, l'appareil peut comprendre des moyens de chauffage (8,9) d'au moins une surface de traitement (4,5). L'appareil obtenu permet de pincer avec chaleur les cheveux et de vaporiser de la vapeur vers les cheveux. Ceci permet de produire une surface de traitement chauffée ou chaude par conduction de chaleur par exemple, avec contact direct ou indirect.According to the invention, the apparatus may comprise means for heating (8,9) at least one treatment surface (4,5). The device obtained allows to pinch the hair with heat and steam vapor to the hair. This makes it possible to produce a heated or hot treatment surface by means of heat conduction, for example, with direct or indirect contact.
Selon l'invention, l'appareil peut comprendre deux parties: la première partie étant un appareil portable 100 comprenant les deux mâchoires 2,3, l'unité de contrôle 13, des moyens de vaporisation 7, et la deuxième partie étant une base déportée 1000 de l'appareil portable 100 pouvant comprendre la pompe péristaltique 6 et un réservoir de fluide 19, au moins un cordon de communication de fluide 21 pouvant être prévu entre la base 1000 et l'appareil portable 100. Ceci augmente la capacité de vaporisation et garantit un appareil de traitement relativement léger et maniable. De plus, la pompe ne sera pas soumise à une température élevée car elle est éloignée de la source de chaleur, c'est-à-dire des moyens de vaporisation : le moteur entrainant la pompe ne sera sensiblement pas soumis à une température élevée et le tube de la pompe ne perdra pas en élasticité.According to the invention, the apparatus may comprise two parts: the first part being a
Plus particulièrement selon l'invention, la base déportée 1000 peut comprendre une canalisation coudée à la sortie de la pompe assurant la mise en communication de fluide vers l'appareil portable. L'effet du coude est de compacter l'appareil tout en gardant une bonne étanchéité.More particularly according to the invention, the
Alternativement à l'appareil en deux parties principales, selon l'invention, l'appareil peut être composéd'une unique pièce : la première mâchoire 2 comprend l'unité de contrôle 13, un réservoir de fluide 19, la pompe péristaltique 6, des moyens de vaporisation du fluide 7 et les moyens de distribution de la vapeur 7', 7". Ceci garantit un appareil de traitement relativement compact.Alternatively to the apparatus in two main parts, according to the invention, the apparatus may be composed of a single piece: the
Selon l'invention, l'appareil peut comprendre des moyens de détection 14, 18 du passage en position d'ouverture et/ou du passage en position de fermeture et l'unité de contrôle peut être programmée pour recevoir depuis les moyens de détection 14, 18 un signal et pour commander, en réponse au signal, au moins la pompe péristaltique 6. Ceci permet d'avoir une commande automatique fiable d'au moins un des composants. Ainsi par exemple la vapeur ne sera jamais extraite lorsque l'appareil est en position ouverte. Les moyens de détection peuvent être des moyens capables de détecter unique-ment une position ouverte et une position fermée. Ceci simplifie l'usage à deux informations uniquement sans donner d'information d'une position intermédiaire entre celle de fermeture et celle d'ouverture.According to the invention, the apparatus may comprise detection means 14, 18 of the passage in the open position and / or the passage in the closed position and the control unit may be programmed to receive from the detection means 14 , 18 a signal and to control, in response to the signal, at least the
Selon l'invention, les moyens de détection 14,18 du passage en position d'ouverture et/ou du passage en position de fermeture peuvent être des moyens magnétiques de détection 14, 18. Ceci permet que le contact nécessaire pour détecter un changement de position se fasse de façon magnétique et non mécanique. Ceci réduit les efforts nécessités par l'utilisateur car le contact mécanique n'est plus nécessaire pour détecter le changement de position. La détection se fait aussi sans risque d'absence d'étanchéité. Les moyens magnétiques de détection (14, 18) peuvent comprendre un interrupteur magnétique. Plus particulièrement, toujours selon l'invention, les moyens magnétiques de détection peuvent comprendre un interrupteur magnétique à lame souple (ILS) agencé dans la première mâchoire (2), un aimant agencé dans la deuxième mâchoire 3 de sorte que l'aimant soit actif sur l'interrupteur dans une seule des deux positions. Ceci permet de proposer un appareil compact. Un des éléments -l'aimant- est peu cher, peu encombrant et ne nécessite aucune alimentation particulière, et l'autre élément (ILS) est aussi peu cher, peu encombrant, et pourra être branché simplement en série entre le ou les éléments à commander et l'unité de contrôle. Selon l'invention, l'unité de contrôle peut être programmée pour commander, au passage en position de fermeture, l'actionnement d'un composant, et pour commander, au passage en position d'ouverture, l'arrêt de ce composantAccording to the invention, the detection means 14, 18 of the passage in the open position and / or the passage in the closed position can be magnetic detection means 14, 18. This allows the contact necessary to detect a change of position. position is magnetic and not mechanical. This reduces the effort required by the user because the mechanical contact is no longer necessary to detect the change of position. The detection is also done without risk of lack of sealing. The magnetic detection means (14, 18) may comprise a magnetic switch. More particularly, still according to the invention, the magnetic detection means may comprise a flexible blade magnetic switch (ILS) arranged in the first jaw (2), a magnet arranged in the
Selon l'invention l'appareil peut comprendre des moyens de détection de température 10 pour mesurer une valeur représentant la température des moyens de vaporisation 7 et l'unité de contrôle peut être programmée pour recevoir depuis les moyens de détection de température 10 un signal et pour commander, en réponse au signal, au moins la pompe péristaltique 6. Ainsi, la vapeur ne sera pas extraite tant que les moyens de vaporisation, parexemple la chambre de vaporisation, n'est pas au-dessus d'une certaine température, et ceci permet d'éviter que des gouttelettes d'eau chaude ne tombent sur cuir chevelu et ne le brûlent. Il peut se rajouter une ou des conditions supplémentaires pour commander la pompe : par exemple, en plus de la détection de température des moyens de vaporisation, la détection de la fermeture du lisseur, la détection de la bonne température des surfaces de traitement...According to the invention the apparatus may comprise temperature sensing means 10 for measuring a value representing the temperature of the vaporizing means 7 and the control unit may be programmed to receive from the temperature sensing means 10 a signal and to control, in response to the signal, at least the
Selon l'invention, la première surface 4 et la deuxième surface 5 de traitement des cheveux peuvent être des surfaces complémentaires plates ou courbes ou ondulées qui, en position fermée de l'appareil, viennent sensiblement en correspondance pour respectivement lisser, boucler ou gaufrer les cheveux. L'appareil peut dont être un lisseur vapeur, un boucleur vapeur ou un gaufreur vapeur.According to the invention, the

La pompe péristaltique 6 est une pompe utilisée pour un liquide contenu dans un tube flexible 62, il est entraîné par un système de pincement 61 pressant le tube 62 à l'intérieur de la pompe 6. La pompe péristaltique est étanche et le seul élément en contact avec le fluide est le tube flexible. Les risques de fuite sont ainsi limités, et le volume de liquide déplacé est proportionnel à la vitesse de rotation de la pompe. Cette pompe est particulièrement adaptée au dosage, grâce à sa souplesse d'utilisation et sa grande précision. Ainsi la pompe assure un débit relativement continu, et même relativement constant, de l'ordre de 1 et 5 mL/min, voire entre 3 et 4 préférentiellement égal 3,5mL/min. La pompe est actionnée par un moteur préférentiellement DC. Un patin fixé sur une roue tournant vient écraser un tube en gomme souple, créant ainsi une aspiration vers l'intérieur de la pompe. Le volume de liquide se déplace avec le mouvement du rotor. La maintenance de cette pompe est facile car elle présente une pièce d'usure principalement: le tube, facile à changer.The

Les moyens de vaporisation comprennent des moyens de distribution de la vapeur comportant un ou plusieurs orifices de distribution 7" de la vapeur produite par les moyens de vaporisation et en direction d'une mèche de cheveux/ rentrant en contact avec les surfaces de traitement. Les orifices de distributions peuvent traverser cette surface ou être agencés à côté par exemple adjacents à cette surface de traitement.The vaporization means comprise steam distribution means comprising one or
La première surface 4 et la deuxième surface 5 de traitement des cheveux sont des surfaces complémentaires plates d'un appareil à lisser (comme illustrées) ou courbes d'un appareil à boucler ou ondulées d'un appareil à gaufrer. Un appareil à boucler est par exemple décrit dans le brevet
L'appareil comporte des moyens de détection 14, 18 du passage en position d'ouverture et/ou du passage en position de fermeture et l'unité de contrôle est programmée pour recevoir depuis les moyens de détection 14, 18 un signal et pour commander, en réponse au signal, au moins la pompe péristaltique 6.
Les moyens de détection 14,18 peuvent être préférentiellement des moyens magnétiques de détection 14, 18 du passage en position d'ouverture et/ou passage en position de fermeture. Ils comprennent un interrupteur magnétique ; préférentiellement un interrupteur magnétique à lame souple 14 agencé dans la première mâchoire 2, un aimant 18 agencé dans la deuxième mâchoire 3 de sorte que l'aimant 18 soit actif sur l'interrupteur 14 dans une seule des deux positions.The apparatus comprises detection means 14, 18 of the passage in the open position and / or the passage in the closed position and the control unit is programmed to receive from the detection means 14, 18 a signal and to control in response to the signal, at least the
The detection means 14, 18 may preferably be magnetic detection means 14, 18 of the passage in the open position and / or passage in the closed position. They include a magnetic switch; preferentially a magnetic switch with a
L'unité de contrôle ou CPU 13 comprise dans une carte électronique est programmée pour commander, au passage en position de fermeture, la marche ou l'actionnement d'un composant, et pour commander, au passage en position d'ouverture, l'arrêt de ce composant, ou bien inversement. Un circuit électrique comporte en série l'ILS 14 qui selon la position de l'appareil, envoie le signal correspondant à la fermeture ou l'ouverture à la CPU. Un Interrupteur Lame Souple (ILS ou interrupteur « reed) » est un interrupteur qui établit ou coupe une connexion électrique en fonction de la présence ou non d'un champ magnétique. En présence d'un champ magnétique, les contacts s'aimantent par influence, et sont attirés l'un par l'autre. Ils se rapprochent et se touchent, établissant le courant. Lorsque le champ magnétique cesse, l'aimantation cesse aussi, et l'élasticité des contacts les écarte, coupant le courant. Alternativement à un interrupteur magnétique pourrait être choisi un capteur à effet hall pour piloter la vapeur selon l'angle de fermeture, et non plus selon deux états seulement (fermeture etouverture).The control unit or
La première mâchoire 2 et la deuxième mâchoire 3 sont reliées par une articulation de type charnière 20 et l'angle maximum (α) d'ouverture des deux mâchoires est compris entre 5° et 60°, voire entre 10° et 20°, et préférentiellement environ égal à 15°.

Les moyens de détection de température peuvent comprendre une thermistance, préférentiellement une thermistance à Coefficient de Température Négatif (CTN). La thermistance permet d'assurer une régulation de la chauffe.The temperature sensing means 10 measures a value representing the temperature of the vaporizing means 7 and the control unit may be programmed to receive a signal from the temperature sensing means 10 and to control, in response to the signal, at least the
En fonctionnement, lorsque l'appareil est allumé, l'utilisateur saisit l'appareil et l'applique pour venir pincer la mèche de cheveux à traiter (il « ferme » l'appareil) ; la position passe d'une position d'ouverture à une position de fermeture ; la détection magnétique de la fermeture s'effectue (l'ILS se ferme par action de l'aimant), le signal est transmis à la CPU qui, en réponse à ce signal, commande la pompe péristaltique de l'appareil qui alimente les moyens de vaporisation créant ainsi la vapeur qui sera extraite de l'appareil.In operation, when the device is turned on, the user grasps the device and applies it to pinch the lock of hair to be treated (it "closes" the device); the position changes from an open position to a closed position; the magnetic detection of the closing takes place (the ILS closes by the action of the magnet), the signal is transmitted to the CPU which, in response to this signal, controls the peristaltic pump of the device which supplies the means vaporization creating the vapor that will be extracted from the device.
En fonctionnement selon un des exemples présentant des moyens de vaporisation : lorsque l'appareil est allumé, l'élément chauffant (CTP ou céramique...) se met à chauffer les surfaces destinées à venir en contact avec les cheveux peuvent se mettre à chauffer, et un élément chauffant séparé (ou le même élément chauffant) se met à chauffer les moyens de vaporisation 7. L'utilisateur saisit l'appareil et l'applique pour venir pincer la mèche de cheveux à traiter. Lorsque le capteur de détection magnétique envoie alors à la CPU l'information de fermeture, il libère l'eau par l'actionnement de la pompe. L'eau arrive par le tuyau d'amenée et tombe dans la chambre. L'eau est transformée en vapeur et passe par les orifices de distribution de vapeur pour venir en contact avec la mèche de cheveux traitée. En tests, les débits de vapeur constatés sont entre 3 et 4g/min, plutôt environ égal à 3.5g/min.In operation according to one of the examples having means of vaporization: when the apparatus is lit, the heating element (CTP or ceramic ...) begins to heat the surfaces intended to come into contact with the hair can begin to heat , and a separate heating element (or the same heating element) starts to heat the vaporization means 7. The user grasps the device and applies it to pinch the lock of hair to be treated. When the magnetic detection sensor then sends the closing information to the CPU, it releases the water by actuating the pump. The water arrives through the feed pipe and falls into the chamber. The water is transformed into steam and passes through the steam distribution ports to come in contact with the treated lock of hair. In tests, the steam flow rates are between 3 and 4g / min, more or less equal to 3.5g / min.
