Description

Haarglätter  hair straightener
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Haarglätter mit zumindest zwei Glattschenkeln, wobei zumindest einer der Glattschenkel eine Heizplatte aufweist, gemäß dem The present invention relates to a hair straightener with at least two smooth legs, wherein at least one of the smooth legs has a heating plate, according to
Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . Preamble of claim 1.
Haarglätter sind sowohl privat als auch gewerblich häufig genutzte Geräte zum Glätten von Haaren. Dabei weisen bekannte Haarglätter üblicherweise zwei Glättschenkel auf, die jeweils eine Heizplatte besitzen, die sich gegenüberliegen. Zum Glätten der Haare werden diese zwischen die erhitzten Heizplatten gebracht und die Heizplatten anschließend mittels einer Kraft auf die Glättschenkel aufeinander gedrückt. Somit erfahren die Haare zwischen den Heizplatten einen Wärmeübertrag und werden geglättet. Ein gleichzeitiges Ziehen entlang der Haare führt zu einem gleichmäßigen Glätteergebnis entlang der gesamten Haarlänge. Für einen besseren Grip des Haarglätters, weisen gattungsgemäße Haarglätter zusätzlich Fixierstreifen, insbesondere Silikonstreifen, auf, die entlang der Heizplatten angeordnet sind und diese dabei überragen. Nachteilig dabei ist, dass die Fixierstreifen beim Glätten der Haare zu einem Ziehen an den Haaren führen, das zu einem unangenehmen Empfinden bei einem Nutzer des Haarglätters führt und bis zum Ausreißen der Haare führen kann. Hair straighteners are widely used hair straighteners, both privately and commercially. In this case, known hair straighteners usually have two Glättschenkel, each having a hot plate, which are opposite. To straighten the hair, they are placed between the heated heating plates and the heating plates are then pressed against each other by means of a force on the Glättschenkel. Thus, the hair experienced between the heating plates heat transfer and are smoothed. A simultaneous pulling along the hair leads to a uniform smoothness result along the entire hair length. For a better grip of the hair straightener, generic hair straighteners additionally have fixing strips, in particular silicone strips, which are arranged along the heating plates and protrude over them. The disadvantage here is that the fixing strips lead to a pulling on the hair when straightening the hair, which leads to an unpleasant sensation in a user of the hair straightener and can lead to tearing of the hair.
Ein gattungsgemäßer Haarglätter ist beispielsweise aus der EP 1 698 249 B1 bekannt. A generic hair straightener is known, for example, from EP 1 698 249 B1.
Die vorliegende Erfindung beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Problem, für einen Haarglätter der gattungsgemäßen Art, eine verbesserte oder zumindest alternative Ausführungsform anzugeben, die sich insbesondere durch ein verbessertes Handling auszeichnet. The present invention therefore deals with the problem of providing a hair straightener of the generic type, an improved or at least alternative embodiment, which is characterized in particular by improved handling.
Dieses Problem wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des unabhängigen Anspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche. Die vorliegende Erfindung beruht auf dem allgemeinen Gedanken bei einem an sich bekannten Haarglätter mit zwei Glättschenkeln, an zumindest einem dieser Glättschenkel einen federnden Fixierstreifen vorzusehen, der eine zugehörige und ebenfalls am This problem is solved according to the invention by the subject matter of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims. The present invention is based on the general idea in a known hair straightener with two Glättschenkeln to provide at least one of these Glättschenkel a resilient Fixierstreifen having an associated and also on
Glättschenkel angeordnete Heizplatte überragt, und dadurch das bisherige unangenehme Ziehen durch die Fixierstreifen zu reduzieren. Durch die federnde Lagerung des Glättschenkel arranged heating plate surmounted, and thereby reduce the previous unpleasant pulling through the fixing strips. Due to the resilient mounting of
Fixierstreifens ist es möglich die Flexibilität des Fixierstreifens zu erhöhen. Dem Fixierstreifens it is possible to increase the flexibility of the Fixierstreifens. the
Erfindungsgedanken entsprechend, umfasst ein erfindungsgemäßer Haarglätter eine Federeinrichtung, die den Fixierstreifen mit dem zugehörigen Glättschenkel verbindet. Der Fixierstreifen ist also insbesondere mit der Federeinrichtung gekoppelt, welche ihrerseits eine Verbindung zum Glättschenkel aufweist, wobei der Fixierstreifen die zugehörige Heizplatte überragt. Dabei ist die Federeinrichtung zumindest teilweise in Schlitzen oder Nuten des Glättschenkels angebracht. Im Vergleich zu bisherigen Haarglättern mit nicht gefederten Fixierstreifen (Silikonstreifen), die aufgrund ihrer reduzierten Nachgiebigkeit zu einem Ziehen an den Haaren während des Glättens führten, kann dieses unangenehme Ziehen durch die deutlich weicheren Fixierstreifen am erfindungsgemäßen Haarglätter nu n erheblich reduziert werden, wodurch das Handling nicht nur erleichtert wird, sondern sich auch angenehmer gestaltet.  According to the idea of the invention, a hair straightener according to the invention comprises a spring device which connects the fixation strip with the associated smoothing leg. The fixing strip is thus coupled in particular to the spring device, which in turn has a connection to the Glättschenkel, wherein the fixing strip projects beyond the associated heating plate. In this case, the spring device is at least partially mounted in slots or grooves of the Glättschenkels. Compared to previous hair straighteners with non-sprung fixing strips (silicone strips), which due to their reduced flexibility led to hair pulling during smoothing, this unpleasant pulling can be significantly reduced by the much softer fixation strips on the hair straightener according to the invention, thus improving handling not only relieved but also made more pleasant.
Bei einer weiteren Ausführungsform, ist die genannte Federeinrichtung an die zugehörige Heizplatte gekoppelt. Hierzu dienen insbesondere Aussparungen in der zugehörigen Heizplatte, in denen die Federeinrichtung zumindest teilweise untergebracht ist.

A further advantageous embodiment of the solution according to the invention comprises a plurality of spring devices which serve the resilient arrangement of a fixing strip on or in the associated heating plate or the associated smoothing legs. Is the
Fixierstreifen zudem mit einer oder mehreren Unterlagen gekoppelt, so sind die jeweiligen Federeinrichtungen der Dimensionen der entsprechenden Unterlagen angepasst. Im Fall von mehreren Unterlagen ist beispielsweise eine Ausführungsform vorstellbar, bei der jede Unterlage mit jeweils einer Federeinrichtung gekoppelt ist. Fixing strips also coupled with one or more documents, the respective spring devices are adapted to the dimensions of the corresponding documents. In the case of several documents, for example, an embodiment is conceivable in which each pad is coupled to a respective spring device.
Die einzelnen Federeinrichtungen weisen bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform zumindest eine Feder auf. Hierbei sei insbesondere auf Druckfedern hingewiesen. Weiter weisen nicht alle Federeinrichtungen zwingend die gleiche Form, Größe bzw. Art auf. Auch sind Ausführungsformen vorstellbar, bei denen eine Federeinrichtung an mehreren Fixierstreifen gekoppelt ist. Hierzu ist die Federeinrichtung beispielsweise quer in einer Aussparung des zugehörigen Glättschenkels und/oder der zugehörigen Heizplatte untergebracht. Eine bevorzugte Federeinrichtung eines erfindungsgemäßen Haarglätters ist derart ausgebildet, dass sie den zugehörigen Fixierstreifen bzw. die zugehörigenThe individual spring devices have, in an advantageous embodiment, at least one spring. It should be noted in particular on compression springs. Furthermore, not all spring devices necessarily have the same shape, size or type. Embodiments are also conceivable in which a spring device is coupled to a plurality of fixing strips. For this purpose, the spring device is housed, for example, transversely in a recess of the associated Glättschenkels and / or the associated heating plate. A preferred spring means of a hair straightener according to the invention is designed such that it the associated fixing strip or the associated
Fixierstreifen nach dem Glättvorgang bzw. nach Entfall der Kraft auf die Fixierstreifen, in ihre Ausgangsposition zurückführt. Fixierstreifen after the smoothing process or after elimination of the force on the fixing strips, returns to its original position.
Die jeweilige Unterlage ist bevorzugt derart ausgebildet, dass der zugehörige The respective pad is preferably designed such that the associated
Fixierstreifen auf einer ebenen Fläche der Unterlage angebracht ist. Die Unterlage ist also insbesondere aus einem flachen und festen Material hergestellt, das einen festen und gleichmäßigen Sitz des Fixierstreifens gewährleistet. Die Unterlage ist weiter zweckmäßig aus Materialien hergestellt, die den Bedingungen in bzw. in der Nähe der Heizplatte gewachsen sind. Die Unterlage ist also beispielsweise aus einem thermoresistentenFixing strip is mounted on a flat surface of the pad. The pad is thus made in particular of a flat and solid material, which ensures a firm and uniform fit of the Fixierstreifens. The underlay is further expediently made of materials that meet the conditions in or near the heating plate have grown. The pad is so for example of a thermoresistant
