Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of electrical hair shaping apparatus for forming blow-drying corrugations and comprising a hot-air fan and a hair brush driven in rotation by an electric motor and traversed by a flow of air generated by the hot air fan, with a hollow sleeve and brush bristles emerging from the sleeve.
  • the invention particularly relates to an accessory intended to adapt to such electrical shaping apparatus.
  • Such hair shaping apparatuses serve to form waves in the hair of a person.
  • the shaping of the hair is then provided by a hair brush, assisted by a hot air flow that carries the heat necessary for shaping to the hair.
  • This brush can be rotated manually by the user or automatically by an electric motor.
  • the corrugations are formed while the brush is rotating manually or motorized, rotating the hairbrush in the hair to be shaped.
  • the hair to be shaped in a loop is wrapped following the rotary training of the hair grasped by the bristles and / or the surface of coating of the hairbrush, consecutive to the rotation of the hairbrush.
  • US 4,023,578 discloses an electric hair shaping apparatus with a hairbrush disposed on a handle for forming corrugations in the hair and having a device for producing hot or cold airflow. For this purpose, the hair is wrapped around the sleeve. The hairs of the hair shaping apparatus protrude about 4 to 5 mm from the surface of this sleeve.
  • US 3,894,549 discloses a hair shaping apparatus where the winding and shaping around the hairbrush is rotated by an electric motor.
  • the hair shaping apparatus has a motorized rotary sleeve with respect to the handle having apertures of the oblong hole type along the longitudinal extent of the sleeve which are traversed by the rows of retractable teeth or bristles.
  • US 6,094,837 discloses a hair dryer combined with removable hairbrush elements disposed on a hollow sleeve.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, to fulfill the aforementioned objectives and to provide an electric hairbrush and an electric hairbrush accessory capable of achieving good shaping of the hair, uniform and durable, while being fast and easy to use in operation.
  • Another object of the invention is to reduce the storage volume of such an accessory or such a brush, while keeping an identical number of hairdressing possibilities. Another object of the invention is to adapt the shaping apparatus according to different types of hair. Another object of the invention is to provide an accessory and an electric hairbrush able to pass a uniform and powerful air flow towards the hair to improve the appearance of the treated hair and reduce the time of hair treatment, to increase the holding of the result obtained. Another object of the invention is to provide an accessory and an electric hairbrush that are effective, simplified structure, compact.
  • an accessory adapted to fit on an electric airflow hairdressing appliance comprising: a hollow sleeve having a longitudinal axis capable of being mounted on the hairdressing appliance, the sleeve comprising a set of bristle tufts and a set of through openings capable of passing the flow of air.
  • the sleeve comprises a first hollow body provided with a first set of bristle tufts emerging from said first body, and a first set of through openings capable of passing a stream of air, a second hollow body provided with a second set of tufts of bristles emerging from said second body and a second set of through openings capable of passing a flow of air.
  • the second body is different from the first body and has a portion adapted to be removably attached at least partially to the first body.
  • the first body has a cylindrical outer surface whose axis of symmetry coincides with the longitudinal axis of the accessory.
  • an electric air-flow hairdresser comprising an air inlet, a heating element, a fan, a fan drive means and a blown air outlet section, characterized in that it comprises a hairdressing accessory according to the invention.
  • the second body 20 may have a third assembly comprising at least one secondary through opening (23, 23 ') intended to let at least partially the first set of bristle tufts (11', 11 ") emerging from the first body 10.
  • the accessory allows to emerge from its overall sleeve at least part of the bristles of the first body and the bristles of the second body.
  • the bristles represent a significant cost in the cost of manufacturing such an accessory and use the bristles of the first body in this configuration reduces the number of bristles of the second body and the price of the accessory.
  • the second body 20 is able to slide along at least a portion of the outer surface 15 of the first body 10. The second body slides in contact with a portion of the first body.
  • the two bodies are thus integral with each other during the treatment of the hair and the manual or motorized rotation of the brush accessory. This has the effect of detachable attachment of the second body to the first body.
  • the second body may comprise two symmetrical longitudinal parts mounted on inner hinge and coming to clip to cover the first body and attach to it.
  • the second body 20 may have, in section orthogonal to the axis of symmetry (S), an oval and symmetrical outer surface in at least the first plane (P1) containing the longitudinal axis (L).
  • outer surface of the sleeve or each body is meant the surface that is intended to be in contact with the lock of hair to be treated.
  • This shape in section orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the accessory makes it possible to no longer provide, as for a body with orthogonal circular or round section of the prior art, a constant force on the lock of hair.
  • the external shape other than circular allows, when the accessory is driven in manual rotation or automatic, to provide traction and / or tension on the wick that is not constant and thus enhance the blow-drying effect.
  • This non-circular shape, oval, for example, in section orthogonal to the axis of symmetry (S) of the first cylindrical body makes it possible no longer to provide, as for a circular or round orthogonal section body of the prior art, a constant effort on the lock of hair.
  • the different external shape of the circular shape allows, when the accessory is driven in manual or automatic rotation, to provide traction and / or tension on the wick which is not constant and which is stronger when the wick is hooked at one end of the oval brush: this enhances the effect and durability of the brushing.
  • the lock of hair will remain in contact with a larger surface so that the hair in contact with the surface will be longer subjected to traction and air blowing. This allows to reproduce at best the gesture of the professional who makes the brushing with a brush in the hand and a hair dryer in the other hand.
  • the section of the second body may be oval and we will define a small axis r of the oval and a major axis R of the oval for the proper understanding of the invention.
  • the second body 20 may have, in section orthogonal to the axis of symmetry (S), a symmetrical outer surface in at least a second plane (P2) orthogonal to the first plane (P1).
  • S axis of symmetry
  • P2 second plane
  • P1 first plane
  • the section of the second body may be elliptical and we will define a small axis r of the ellipse for the symmetry in the first plane and a major axis R of the ellipse for the symmetry in the other plane for the proper understanding of the invention.
  • the minor axis (r) of the oval formed by the second body (20) of the accessory according to the invention is substantially equal to the radius (D / 2 ) of the circle formed by the first body (10). This allows to slide the second body on the first body.
  • the outer surface (Sext) of the second body (20) has a ratio of its major axis (R) on its minor axis (r) greater than 1.1, preferably greater than 1.5.
  • the higher the ratio the greater the tension exerted on the hair at each passage in contact with the point corresponding to the major axis.
  • At least partially tufts of bristles (11) of the first body (10) have a length such that they are enclosed in the second body when it is fixed on the first body (10). Tufts are enclosed without being bent or damaged.
  • the major axis of the oval formed by the second body 20 may be greater than or equal to the radius of the circle formed by the first body 10 added to the length of the bristles. Emerging from the first body 10. This allows certain bristles or pins of the first body to remain entirely within the second body and not used in the assembly configuration of the two bodies.
  • the second set of through openings 22 may comprise at least one row of oblong openings arranged parallel to one another. This has the effect of optimizing the outlet of the air flow out of the brush accessory.
  • the first set of bristle tufts may comprise at least one straight line of bristle tufts parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) and at least one of the openings secondary through-beams (23) may be oblong and parallel to the longitudinal axis (L) of the accessory to pass at least one line of bristle tufts, thereby allowing the rows of tufts of bristles of the first body to pass through through oblong openings of the second body and to limit the damage of the bristles of the first body when the second body is installed on the first body.
  • the first body 10 may have six first sets of bristle tufts (11, 11 ', 11 "), the second body (20) may have four secondary through openings (23) each passing one of the first six sets This makes it possible to use four set of bristle tufts of the first body in the assembly configuration.

  • the hair is never fully wrapped around the accessory in good operation of the device. Indeed, for this electrical appliance 100 of In the form of the hair, the hairbrush 1 is shaped so that the rotation of the hair to be shaped is only at a certain point to avoid in principle a complete winding of the hairbrush 1 in the hair to get in shape. It takes a certain rotational drive to maintain for the necessary time the hair to form in the position that produces the ripple to achieve.
  • the heat provided by the hot air flow supports the process of shaping the hair, the hair brush being judiciously shaped in the manner of an air brush and the flow of hot air into the hairbrush, penetrating the internal intake channel of the hairbrush and radially outwardly through the outlet openings in the hairbrush.
  • the limited rotation of the hair to be shaped by the rotating hairbrush is partially achieved by the fact that the radially outwardly facing upper surface of the body surface of the hairbrush has such that it will transmit substantially no moment (M) of rotation on the hair.
  • This surface is therefore judiciously very smooth and / or has a coating to which the hair to be shaped does not adhere during a rotation of the hairbrush, as is for example the case for a coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (coating PTFE).
  • the rotational drive of the hair to be shaped is mainly provided by the bristles or bristles.
  • the drive motor of the accessory can be coupled to its output shaft with a mechanism for transforming its rotational movement into an alternating translation movement or a vibratory movement, etc. to use with different types of accessories.
  • the blowing hairdressing apparatus can be a totally longitudinal brush whose axis of the accessory and parallel or merged with the axis of the gripper housing, or can be a conventional gun-shaped hair dryer of which the axis of the accessory will be substantially perpendicular to that of the grip handle.
