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 relative to the handle having apertures of the oblong hole type along the longitudinal extent of the sleeve which are traversed by the rows of teeth or retractable bristles.
  • WO 2005 018 372 also discloses a hair shaping apparatus comprising a brush.
  • 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 provide an apparatus which can form more or less pronounced corrugations and which can improve the result of the brushing on its behavior over time.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a new device that can adapt to all hair lengths.
  • Another objective is to reduce the manufacturing costs of such accessories.
  • 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.
  • a device accessory for shaping hair adapted to fit on an electric airflow hairdressing apparatus
  • a hollow sleeve having a longitudinal axis (L) capable of mounting on the hairdressing apparatus, the sleeve comprising a set of tufts of bristles and a set of through openings capable of passing the air flow
  • the sleeve has a symmetrical outer surface in at least the first plane containing the longitudinal axis and a second plane containing the longitudinal axis and orthogonal in the foreground and where the section of the outer surface of the sleeve in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis defines a closed curve having a small axis contained in the first plane and a major axis contained in the second plane, the divided major axis ratio by small axis being greater than or equal to 1.1.
  • an air flow to electrical hairdressing apparatus comprising an air inlet, a heater, a fan, a drive means of the fan and blown air outlet section, characterized in it comprises a hairdressing accessory according to the invention.
  • This form of section with a small axis and major axis, for example oval, in section orthogonal to the axis of symmetry (S) of the sleeve makes it possible to no longer provide, as for a body of circular or round orthogonal section of the prior art, a constant force on the lock of hair.
  • the different external shape of the circular shape allows, when the accessory is rotated, manual or automatic, to provide traction and / or tension on the wick which is not constant and which is stronger when the wick is attached to 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.
  • 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 outer shape other than circular allows, when the accessory is driven in manual or automatic rotation, to provide traction and / or tension on the wick that is not constant and thus enhance the blow-drying effect. This also allows to reproduce at best the gesture of the professional who makes the brushing with a brush in the hand and a hairdryer in the other hand.
  • This accessory is innovative in that its sleeve does not present, like known blower hairdressers, a tubular shape of a constant radius.
  • the section of the sleeve orthogonal to the longitudinal axis can be of any geometric form from which we can define a small axis r of the oval and a major axis R of the oval for the proper understanding of the invention.
  • bristles means any type of hair, natural or synthetic, of for example plastic pins or all of the two bristles and pins, which allow to hang and / or train the lock of hair during its treatment with the brush accessory.
  • the bristles can be of different natures, but also of different lengths, to adapt to any type of hair or any length of hair.
  • the bristles can be grouped by tufts of several or be individual if it is picnic for example.
  • the accessory according to the invention has a section of the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve (10) in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (L) defining a closed curve (C) which is an oval presenting a small axis (r) contained in the first plane (P1) and a major axis (R) contained in the second plane (P2), the major axis ratio divided by minor axis (R / r) being greater than or equal to 1.1.
  • the accessory according to the invention has a section of the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve (10) in a plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (L) defining a closed curve (C) which is an ellipse having a minor axis (r) contained in the first plane (P1) and a major axis (R) contained in the second plane (P2), the major axis ratio divided by minor axis (R / r) being greater than or equal to at 1.1.
  • the oval and the ellipse are two plane, closed curves, symmetrical with respect to one or two perpendicular axes.
  • the oval is constituted by a succession of arcs of circle connected to each other, the oval can define one or two axes of symmetry.
  • the ellipse is a plane curve and defines two axes of symmetry. It is a conic such that the sum of the distances from each of its points to the two foci is constant.
  • the ellipse is built point by point.
  • the oval has a more curved shape at the ends of the major axes in comparison with the ellipse.
  • the elliptical section will advantageously be used for a hairstyle requiring a great deal of traction on the locks of hair to be brusher in a flexible manner but not very curved. While the oval section will be advantageously used for a hairstyle requiring less traction on the locks of hair to brusher in a flexible and more rounded manner. Both sections work very well.
  • the major axis ratio divided by small axis (R / r) of the accessory according to the invention is between 1.1 and 3; preferably between 1.3 and 2, substantially equal to about 1.6. The greater the dimension ratio, the greater the tension exerted on the hair at each passage in contact with the point corresponding to the major axis.
