  • the present invention relates to an apparatus which performs treatment and / or shaping of the hair using steam production means and a heating shaping device intended for disentangling, styling or retaining the hair in relation to the steam.
  • Apparatuses performing a treatment of the hair with steam are known, such as for example described in the document. WO 03/077702 .
  • Another hair treatment device is known from the document WO 2004/002262 where the apparatus is a straightening pliers with two jaws articulated in an elastic manner at one of their ends.
  • the means which generate steam form a sandwich structure contained in one of the jaws. More particularly, one of the jaws comprises the reservoir containing the treatment liquid which impregnates a wick arranged, it, in contact with the heating element of the jaw to evaporate the liquid which then passes through orifices provided for this purpose in the treatment surface intended for contact with the hair.
  • This device finds its limits when it is desired to dissociate the steam treatment from that of heat, the hair being subjected to contact with the hot treatment surface during the production of steam. Furthermore, the structure of such a clamp proves to be complex and requires not only a tight dimensioning of its components, but above all a good electrical insulation of its electrical components because of the production of steam located in the close vicinity of the heating elements electric.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks at least in part and to propose a hair treatment device capable of rapidly, efficiently and uniformly communicating controlled humidity to the hair treated, while being able to dissociate it from '' a possible additional supply of heat and / or mechanical traction and / or chemical.
  • Another object of the invention is a steam hair treatment apparatus which can be used effectively in a plurality of methods of shaping the hair, being able to supply the hair uniformly with the hair, while having a simplified structure and safe operation.
  • Another object of the invention is a steam hair treatment device which is reliable in operation, which is capable of avoiding the phenomena of condensation, while being able to be produced in a simple and economical manner.
  • a steam hair treatment apparatus comprising a housing comprising a liquid reservoir, means for supplying liquid to a steam generator, one or more orifices for distributing the steam produced in the direction of '' a lock of hair and a hair shaping device comprising at least one treatment surface comprising heating means and coming into contact with a lock of hair, the shaping device comprising an upper arm comprising the surface treatment and a lower arm comprising a treatment surface, each treatment surface is formed of a metal plate coming into thermal contact with an electric heating element, the two arms being mounted articulated around a hinge, the steam generator comprising a heating element which is thermally independent of said treatment surface, that is to say that the generator steam is provided with a heating element dedicated to the production of steam, separate from the shaping device which comprises a clean heating element, characterized in that the lower arm comprises a deflector arranged opposite the orifice (s) distribution, the deflector comprising a wall arranged recessed, but parallel to the treatment surface of the lower arm.
  • hair shaping device is understood a device capable of coming at least temporarily and / or locally into contact with the hair to untangle it, style it or simply retain it in contact with a treatment surface, such as for example : straightening tongs with movable or fixed articulated arms, a curling iron with cylindrical heating mandrel possibly cooperating with at least one heating plate opposite, a smoothing head comprising several parallel treatment surfaces side by side, etc.
  • thermoly independent we understand a steam generator provided with a heating element dedicated to the production of steam, separate from the shaping device which comprises a clean heating element.
  • the steam generator thus produced makes it possible to instantly supply a large and continuous flow of steam to the treated wick, and this independently of the temperature of the treatment surface, even for a low temperature of the treatment surface. This thus leads to a lasting and in-depth treatment of the treated wick, for example a smoothing, a curling, an embossing thereof.
  • the steam when the steam is applied to a lock of hair after shaping by a device performing a thermal action, or even, combined with a mechanical action on the lock, the steam comes to rehydrate the hair to compensate for the dehydration linked to the application to the hair of a hot tool.
  • the vapor distribution orifice (s) are adjacent to the hair shaping device.
  • one or more vapor outlet orifices are arranged arranged in the vicinity of the edge of the shaping device, that is to say next to and as close as possible the input or output of the lock of hair from the device carrying out the shaping.
  • the apparatus of the invention comprises a deflector arranged opposite the distribution orifice (s).
  • This deflector functions as a vapor barrier by being placed opposite the steam outlet to, on the one hand, protect the scalp of the person on whom the treatment is carried out and, on the other hand, to redirect steam towards the back of the wick and thus treat it on both sides with a steam outlet located only on one side of it.
  • This deflector may belong to the housing of the device or be integral with the shaping device.
  • the vapor flow takes place via several orifices uniformly distributed parallel to the generally elongated treatment surface of the shaping device orienting the vapor in a direction perpendicular to that of their shaping by said device.
  • the direction of shaping is generally defined by the generally elongated treatment surface of the shaping device, a surface which generally treats with its longer side the width of a wick.
  • a steam path arriving perpendicular to the width of a wick thus allows rapid treatment of the lock of hair and, moreover, homogeneous when the steam is distributed by outlet orifices covering the width of the wick.
  • the steam generator comprises a vaporization chamber in thermal contact with an electric heating element and the apparatus comprises one or more conduits connecting the outlet of the vaporization chamber to the orifice or to the distribution orifices each having a length less than 3 cm.
  • the appliance is portable, which makes it possible to have the steam outlet arranged as close as possible to the steam generation means of the housing in order to eliminate the phenomena of condensation, while simplifying the construction of the appliance and making its handling more flexible.
  • the vaporization chamber is thus positioned as close as possible to the steam distribution or outlet orifices, which makes it possible to treat the lock of hair directly at the outlet of the vaporization chamber, via one or more conduits.
  • These vapor conduits at the outlet of the vaporization chamber therefore being of very short length distribute the vapor without it being able to form condensates which could then disturb and / or cancel the action of the vapor on the wick or harm the ease of use of the device, the condensate being able to burn the person using the device.
  • the steam generator produces a steam flow rate greater than 5 g / min, preferably between 10g / min and 60g / min.
  • the apparatus of the invention performs an effective treatment of the hair when the vapor flow produced is greater than 5 g / min and when it is preferably between 10 g / min and 60 g / min.
  • the apparatus comprises an adjustment device for adjusting the flow of liquid sent to the generator.
  • Such a device for adjusting the flow of liquid sent by the pump into the vaporization chamber makes it possible to adapt the flow of vapor produced to the type of treatment and / or to the type of hair treated with the appliance.
  • the shaping device comprises means for controlling the means for heating the treatment surface independent of the means for controlling the steam.
  • the shaping device is removably arranged relative to the housing of the device.
  • the liquid contained in the reservoir is a treatment product.
  • treatment liquid is understood any liquid capable of being vaporized by the generator and which can then be applied to the hair in the form of steam to ensure care, shaping, coloring, discoloration, etc.
  • this liquid is water.
  • the apparatus comprises an additional reservoir of liquid adjacent to or belonging to the hair shaping device.
  • This additional reservoir can therefore belong to the device or the shaping device and makes it possible to apply to the hair a liquid which is not necessarily vaporized by the steam generator of the device, for example during an application. by contact of the liquid coming from the additional tank with the treated wick.
  • the liquid contained in the additional tank is different from the liquid contained in the tank which supplies the steam generator.
  • the vapor serves as a transport medium for the cosmetic to make it penetrate to the heart of the hair via the opening of the scales, the mechanical treatment which follows making it possible to close the scales and make a form of cauterization of the hair to fix the cosmetic.
  • the steam is used as a transport medium, while avoiding subjecting the cosmetic to very high temperatures and thus preventing it from being damaged by temperature.
  • said orifices of distribution are adjacent to the hair shaping device being located upstream thereof.
  • upstream is meant that in the treatment operation, a portion of the lock of hair first supports the application of steam before supporting the shaping treatment.
