Description

The present invention relates to a hair treatment device with at least one molding for treating hair.

Hair treatment devices that are particularly suitable for straightening hair, usually have two molded parts, which are connected to each other via a hinge and each other to move. At least one of the two molded parts has a hair treatment surface which conventionally does not extend over the entire molded part. The hair treatment surface is thus only partially arranged on the molding. To treat the hair they are introduced between the two moldings. Subsequently, the moldings are closed via the joint. In order to ensure a preferably uniform hair treatment, it is necessary that when closing the moldings, the hair to be treated are arranged in the region of the hair treatment surface.

In the conventional hair treatment equipment, however, there is a risk that the hair when threading on the hair treatment area out and so when closing the moldings just do not come to rest in the area of the hair treatment area, which can adversely affect the treatment outcome. This danger increases especially in hair treatment applications on the back of the user or user.

JP 358092312 A describes a hair treatment device with a Haareinführegrenzungsteil.

The object of the present application is therefore to provide an improved hair treatment device, which is characterized in particular by an improved management of the hair to be treated and thereby due to an improved hair treatment result.

This object is achieved by a hair treatment device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

According to the invention a hair treatment device is provided with at least a first molded part for treating hair. The first molded part has a hair treatment surface. Adjacent to the hair treatment surface, a first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is arranged on the first mold part, which is suitable or intended for blocking a further guiding of the hair along the first mold part.

The hair treatment device has a second shaped part for treating the hair, wherein the first molded part and the second molded part are connected to one another via a joint and movable relative to one another. Between the moldings, the hair to be treated are insertable. The first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is suitable or intended for blocking a further insertion of the hair between the moldings.

The hair treatment device according to the invention therefore has directly behind the hair treatment surface on the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil, which serves as a stopper so that the hair to be treated can not be further guided between the moldings and / or slide further into it. Advantageously, such an introduction of the hair to be treated is possible only up to the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil so that the hair to be treated are arranged as close as possible in the region of the hair treatment area when closing the moldings. This can be ensured with advantage that as far as possible all of the introduced between the moldings hair after closing the moldings of a hair treatment are subjected to the hair treatment area.

By "introducing the hairs" is meant, in particular, that the hairs are inserted between the molded parts of the hair treatment device which are in an open state. The hair treatment device has in the open state, preferably a V-like shape. At the connecting end of the molded parts, the joint is arranged. The hair is introduced at the opposite end of the joint.

By "further guiding the hair" is to be understood, for example, in the case of a curler, that the hair after an initial feeding the hair to the first Molding be further guided along the first molding. In the case of a hair straightener, "further guiding of the hair" is to be understood in particular as meaning that the hair is guided further in the direction of the joint after the initial insertion in the open state of the molded parts. In particular, the hair at the opposite end of the joint of the molded parts are continued between them in the direction of the joint. This is to be understood as a further introduction of the hair between the moldings.

By "blocking the further guidance of the hair" is to be understood in particular that further guiding the hair along the first molded part or between the molded parts is prevented in the direction of joint or blocked or prevented. Accordingly, the hair can be inserted only up to the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil along or between the moldings, for example in the direction of joint. Introducing the hair in an area between Haareinführbegrenzungsteil and eventual joint is not possible in the present case.

By "Haareinführbegrenzungsteil" is in particular to be understood that this limits insertion of the hair along or between the mold parts, in particular in the direction of joint. This means that they hair can not be inserted up to the joint or to another end of the first molding, but are blocked in advance, so there is an area on or between the molded parts, between which the hair is not insertable.

Specifically, "disposed adjacent to the hair treatment surface" means that the hair introduction restriction member is disposed immediately adjacent to the hair treatment surface on the first molding. In particular, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is located directly or directly behind the hair treatment area. This can be ensured with advantage that the hair to be treated can not be inserted further than to the end of the hair treatment area along or between the moldings.

By "hair treatment surface" is meant in particular the surface of the molded part, which serves for hair treatment. For example, the hair treatment surface is a heatable surface, preferably a main surface of a heating plate. Preferably, the Hair treatment surface suitable for hair shaping, for example, for hair straightening or curling.

In a preferred embodiment of the hair treatment device, the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil extends in an open state of the molded parts of the first molded part at least until the second molded part. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil thus preferably leads from the first mold part in the vertical direction to the second mold part. In this case, the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil not necessarily mechanically fixed to the second mold part. The first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil may range in the open state to the second molding or even beyond. In the case of Reichens beyond the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil may extend, for example, in a recess of the second molding into or formed bent on the second molding. For this purpose, the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is formed for example of a flexible material.

The first hair introduction limiting part contains rubber. For example, the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is designed as an elongated rubber lip, which is attached to the first mold part and extends in the open state of the moldings to the second mold part. Alternatively, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil be a tensioned rubber, which is particularly stretched in an open state of the molded parts between the moldings. In this case, the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is attached to both the first mold part and the second mold part.

A hair treatment device not according to the invention comprises the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil a foam-like material which is compressible when closing the moldings between them. A "foam-like material" is to be understood in particular as meaning a material that can be compressed, that is to say that its volume is significantly reduced by pressure. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil can only be attached to the first molding. Alternatively, an attachment of Haareinführbegrenzungsteils to both moldings is conceivable. Advantageously, such a first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil in addition to the function of blocking the insertion of the hair a Aufspannfunktion the moldings to hold them in an open state. In addition, such a trained Haareinführbegrenzungsteil prevents too tight compression of the molded parts during the hair treatment, whereby the risk of damaging the hair to be treated during the hair treatment can be reduced.

In a further preferred development of the hair treatment device, a second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil for blocking the further insertion of the hair is arranged on the second mold part. The second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is preferably arranged immediately adjacent to the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil. Particularly preferably, the second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is in direct contact with the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil. The first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil extends from the first molding in the direction of the second molding. The second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil correspondingly extends from the second mold part in the direction of the first molded part. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteile each need not necessarily extend from their length to the opposite mold part. All that is necessary is that in the open state of the molded parts the Haareinführbegrenzungsteile overlap in the vertical direction, so that a blockage of the hair guide is formed between the moldings.

In a further preferred development of the hair treatment device, the first and / or second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil can be folded when folding the moldings between these, foldable or wegbiegbar. By "foldable or foldable" is meant, in particular, that the one or more Haareinführbegrenzungsteile have a folding mechanism, so that they are folded when closing the moldings between them. By "bendable" is meant, in particular, that the one or more Haareinführbegrenzungsteile be brought when closing the moldings between them from a vertical position to a horizontal position.

In a further preferred development of the hair treatment device, a depression is formed in a region of the second molding that is opposite the first hair injection limiting part, into which the first hair-introduction limiting part at least partially engages in an open and / or closed state of the molded parts. The recess may advantageously serve as a guide of the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteils when closing or opening the moldings. So can In addition, it is ensured that the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil in the open state of the molded parts has a stop on the second mold part, so that a folding forward of the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteils is prevented in the direction away from the joint. At the same time, the hair can not slide past the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil in the direction of joint in the open state of the moldings.

Accordingly, in a region of the first molded part opposite the second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil preferably a recess formed in which the second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil engages at least partially in an open and / or closed state of the moldings.

In a further preferred development of the hair treatment appliance, the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil in a closed state of the moldings at least partially retractable in the recess of the second mold part. This can be made possible that the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil when closing the moldings this closing does not oppose or blocking the closing. By "retractable" is to be understood in particular that the first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil engages at least partially when closing the mold parts without a change in shape in the recess of the second molding and disappears there.

Accordingly, the second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is preferably retractable in a closed state of the moldings at least partially in the recess of the first mold part.

In a further preferred development of the hair treatment device, the first and / or second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil in the recess of the second molding, in particular via a spring element, fixed. Preferably, the corresponding Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is retracted into the recess of the opposite molding over the spring element. As a result, guidance of the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteils be made possible with advantage. In particular, such a slipping out of the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteils is avoided from the respective recess in the open state of the mold parts.

In a further preferred development of the hair treatment device, the first and / or second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil articulated to the first and / or second molded part. The respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is thus attached to the corresponding molded part via a hinge. As a result, a particularly articulated mobility of the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteils can be achieved with advantage. For example, due to the articulated mounting the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteil between the moldings can be folded, foldable or wegbiegbar. This can advantageously be prevented that the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteil obstructs a closing of the moldings or even prevented.

The second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil contains a rubber, a metal and / or plastic. Depending on the configuration of the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteils particular appropriate material can be selected depending on the particular requirements of the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteil.

In a further preferred embodiment of the hair treatment device this is a hair straightener. In a hair straightener, the one or more Haareinführbegrenzungsteile are arranged between two mutually movable mold parts, which preferably have an identical or at least a similar configuration such as shape and size.

In the exemplary embodiments and figures, identical or identically acting components may each be provided with the same reference numerals. The illustrated components and their proportions to each other are basically not to be considered as true to scale. Rather, individual elements such as layers, parts, elements, components and areas for exaggerated representability and / or for better understanding can be shown exaggerated thick or large dimensions.

In the FIGS. 7A, 7B in each case a cross section of a conventional hair straightener 1 is shown, which comprises a first molded part 1 a and a second molded part 1 b. The molded parts 1 a, 1 b are connected to each other via a hinge 2 at one end. By means of the joint 2, the mold parts 1a, 1b, in particular the ends of the mold parts 1a, 1b opposite the joint 2, can be moved in the direction of one another or away from one another. The hair treatment device can thus have an open state, as in FIG. 7B shown, and a closed state, as in FIG. 7A shown have. In the open state, the ends of the molded parts 1 a, 1 b opposite the joint 2 have a defined maximum opening angle. The maximum opening angle is realized in the present embodiment via a stop 8 of the molded parts 1 a, 1 b in the region of the joint 2. This stop 8 holds in the open state of the mold parts 1a, 1b but disadvantageous the risk of pinching the fingers of the user or user.

The mold parts 1a, 1b usually have an identical geometry and preferably comprise an identical length in a longitudinal direction. The hair straightener 1 has, on inner surfaces of the mold parts 1a, 1b, in each case a hair treatment surface 3a, 3b, for example a heating plate. As an inner surface, in particular the surface of the respective molded part is considered, which faces the other molded part. On the heating plates 3a, 3b, the hairs to be formed are preferably heated to such temperatures that a long-term and stable shaping of the hair is possible.

In the open state, the hair to be formed between the mold parts 1 a, 1 b can be introduced or threaded, then the moldings are closed to form the hair, so that the hair to be formed directly between the heating plates 3 a, 3 b arranged, whereby a molding process of Hair is possible.

As disadvantageous in such, as in the FIGS. 7A, 7B shown hair straightening, however, that when threading the hair between the two moldings these are too far out in the direction of the joint of the hair straightener or can slip, so in particular on the heating plates 3a, 3b addition. After closing the mold parts 1 a, 1 b, a part of the hair to be treated is thus arranged in a region between heating plates 3 a, 3 b and joint 2 and therefore does not undergo any hair shaping on the heating plates 3 a, 3 b. This too far leading or sliding can adversely especially occur when forming the hair on the back of the head.

In order to prevent this too far leading or slipping of the hair between the mold parts 1 a, 1 b, a Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is provided according to the invention, as in the embodiment of Figure 1A is shown. Since Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is arranged adjacent to the hair treatment surface 3a of the first mold part 1a and serves to block the further insertion of the hair H in the direction of joint 2. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is therefore a stopper, the possible insertion of the hair H between the mold parts 1a, 1b limited. The hair straightener 1 thus has an area between Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 and 2 joint, in which the treated hair H are not insertable. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is directly or immediately adjacent to the hair treatment surface 3a arranged so that the hair to be treated H at most to the end of the heating plates 3a, 3b between the mold parts 1a, 1b are inserted.

The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4, in addition to the function of blocking the hair take over a clamping function for the mold parts 1a, 1b. In this case, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 limit the maximum opening angle of the mold parts 1a, 1b, so that as conventionally trained stop the moldings in the region of the joint is not necessarily necessary. As a result, it is advantageously possible to avoid the risk of being caught by the fingers of the user or of the user in such a stop.

The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is in the embodiment of Figure 1A designed as a stretched rubber. In particular, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 on the first mold part 1a and the second mold part 1b respectively directly adjacent to the respective hair treatment surface 3a, 3b attached. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 may be curved in the direction or in the opposite direction of the joint.

In addition, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 may be thin or wide. By "thinly formed" is to be understood in particular that the width of the Haareinführbegrenzungsteils 4 in relation to the width of the mold parts 1 a, 1 b is formed smaller. Preferably, the ratio is less than 1 to 2, more preferably less than 1 to 5, preferably less than 1 to 10. By "broadly formed" is to be understood in particular that the width of the Haareinführbegrenzungsteils 4 almost the width of the mold parts 1a, 1b of Hair straightener corresponds. A thin trained Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is in section along the line AA Figure 1A in FIG. 1 B shown. Accordingly, a broad trained Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 in section along the line AA Figure 1A in Figure 1C shown.

A not according to the invention Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 of the embodiment of Figure 1A may contain, preferably consist of, a foam-like material. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 can in turn at the first and second molding 1a, 1 b attached. When closing the mold parts 1a, 1b, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is compressed or compressed in this case. As a result, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 can prevent too tight compression of the moldings by the user. In addition, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 at the same time take over a clamping force on the moldings and thus a Aufspannfunktion the Haarglätters.

The hair straightener 1 of the embodiment of FIG. 2 differs from the hair straightener of the embodiment of Figure 1A in that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil is formed in two pieces, in particular a first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4a and a second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4b. The first Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4a is attached to the first mold part 1a and the second Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4b corresponding to the second mold part 1b. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteile 4a, 4b are arranged immediately adjacent to each other, so that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteile 4a, 4b when closing the mold parts 1a, 1b are guided side by side in the vertical direction.

The molded parts 1 a, 1 b each have a recess 5 a, 5 b in the respective opposite region of the respective Haareinführbegrenzungsteils 4 a, 4 b of the other molded part 1 a, in which the respective opposite Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 a, 4 b is partially inserted or retracted when closing the moldings. A complete closing of the moldings can be ensured with advantage.

The hair straightener 1 of the embodiment of FIG. 3 differs from the hair straightener of the embodiment of Figure 1A in that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 comprises a folding mechanism. For this purpose, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 preferably centrally a hinge 4c, through which the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 between the mold parts 1a, 1b is einfaltbar.

The hair straightener 1 of the embodiment of FIGS. 4A to 4C differs from the hair straightener of the embodiment of Figure 1A in that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is attached only to the first mold part 1a. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is loosely on the second mold part 1 b in the open state of the moldings. This can ensure that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 bends when closing the mold parts 1 a, 1 b between them, ie moves from an upright or vertical position in a nearly horizontal position, as in the FIGS. 4A . 4B is shown. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4, for example, a rubber lip, which extends from one side of the first molded parts 1 a to the second molded part 1 b.

The second molded part 1 b may have a recess 5 on the side opposite the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4, which serves as a guide of Haareinführbegrenzungsteils 4, as it is in the cutout in FIG. 4C is shown. In the upright state, the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 due to the recess 5 has a stop so that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 can not work in the open state of the molded parts in the direction away from the joint. In addition, it can thus be prevented that the hair to be formed in the open state of the molded parts slip past the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 in the direction of the joint.

The hair straightener 1 of the embodiment of FIGS. 5A and 5B differs from the hair straightener of the embodiment of FIGS. 4A to 4C in that the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is hinged or attached to the first mold part 1a. The Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is thus mechanically connected via a hinge 6 with the first mold part. This advantageously makes it possible for the hair introduction limiting part 4 to bend away from the upright position into the horizontal position when closing the molded parts.

In addition, in contrast to the embodiment of the FIG. 4C in the hair straightener 1 of the embodiment of FIGS. 5A and 5B formed in the second mold part 1 b a recess 5, in which the Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 when closing the mold parts 1 a, 1 b is retracted, as in FIG. 5B is shown in detail. For this purpose, a spring element 7 is preferably used, which is arranged at the end of the recess 5 and fixed with one end. The other end of the spring element 7 is attached to Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4.

The non-inventive embodiment of FIG. 6A differs from the embodiments of the preceding figures in that the hair treatment device is a curler or curling iron. The curling iron has only a first mold part 1a, around which the hairs to be treated are wound around curls. The first molded part 1a is directly and directly attached to a handle part 9 of the curling iron or passes into this. For curl shaping, the first mold part 1a is heatable. In particular, the complete molding 1a is heatable. The first molded part 1a, in particular the entire surface of the first molded part 1a, accordingly forms a first hair treatment surface 3a for treating the hair, in particular for curling.

At the end of the first hair treatment surface 3a, and thus at the end of the first mold part 1a, a Haareinführbegrenzungsteil 4 is arranged for blocking a further guiding of the hair along the first mold part 1a. "At the end of the first molded part" means in particular at a transition region from the first mold part 1a to the handle part 9. The Haareinführungsbegrenzungsteil 4 has a thorn-like shape and extends beyond the handle part 9 in its height. By the Haareinführungsbegrenzungsteil 4 as a guiding of the hair on the first molded part 1 a beyond, in particular to over the handle part 9, prevented.

The non-inventive embodiment of FIG. 6B differs from the embodiment of FIG. 6A in that the hair introduction limiting part 4 has a plate-like shape. In particular, the Haareinführungsbegrenzungsteil 4 completely surrounds the first mold part 1 a and is disposed between the first mold part 1 a and the handle part 9 of the curling iron.

The explanation of the hair treatment apparatus according to the invention with reference to the embodiments described above is not to be considered as limiting the invention to these. Rather, the invention includes any novel feature as well as any combination of features set forth in the claims.
