Description

Pflegestoffapplikator zum Applizieren eines Pflegestoffes an eine Haarsträhne sowie Pflegestoffkartusche dafür  Nursing applicator for applying a conditioner to a strand of hair and care fabric cartridge therefor
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Pflegestoffapplikator zum Applizieren eines Pflegestoffes an eine Haarsträhne. Des Weiteren betrifft die Erfindung eine Pfle- gestoffkartusche als Teil oder für einen solchen Pflegestoffapplikator. The invention relates to a care applicator for applying a care substance to a strand of hair. Furthermore, the invention relates to a care formulation cartridge as part or for such a care substance applicator.
Zum Unterstützen einer Haarformung werden in das Haar mitunter Pflegestoffe eingebracht. Diese können den Haarformprozess unterstützen oder werden zum Konditionieren des Haares verwendet. Zum Durchführen des Formprozesses der Haare werden Haarformgeräte eingesetzt, beispielsweise sogenannte Straightener oder Lockenstäbe. Derartige Haarformgeräte verfügen über eine beheizte Haarformfläche. Ein Straightener verfügt über zwei derartige Haarformflächen, zwischen denen sich ein Haarformspalt befindet. Die Haarformflächen eines Straighteners sind gelenkig nach Art einer Zange gegeneinander verstellbar. Für die Haarformung wird typischerweise ein gewisser Druck und eine gewisse Formtemperatur benötigt. Zum Unterstützen des Formvorganges kann es zweckmäßig sein, das formende Haar zuvor mit einem Pflegestoff oder auch mit Wasser zu benetzen, so dass auch Wasser als Pflegestoff im Sinne dieser Ausführungen zu verstehen ist. In order to support a hair shaping, care substances are sometimes introduced into the hair. These may assist the hair styling process or are used to condition the hair. To carry out the molding process of the hair hair styling devices are used, for example, so-called Straightener or curling irons. Such hair styling devices have a heated hair surface. A straightener has two such hair shaping surfaces, between which there is a hairline nipple. The hair shaping surfaces of a Straighteners are articulated in the manner of a pair of pliers against each other adjustable. For hair styling typically a certain pressure and a certain mold temperature is needed. To support the molding process, it may be appropriate to previously wet the forming hair with a care substance or with water, so that water is to be understood as a care substance in the sense of these statements.
Wenn Pflegestoffe im Zusammenhang mit einer Haarformung dem Haar zugeführt werden, erfolgt dieses vor dem mit dem Haarformgerät durchzuführenden Formprozess. Das oder die Pflegestoffe werden auf das Haar aufgesprüht, oder, sollte es sich bei diesen um schäum- oder gelförmige Präparate handeln, in das Haar einmassiert. Dieses bedeutet jedoch, dass das gesamte Haar oder ein Teil des zu formenden Haares in einem ersten Schritt mit dem Pflegestoff zu behandeln ist, um anschließend mit dem Haarformgerät unter Wärmezufuhr geformt zu werden. Das Behandeln der geformten Haare mit einem Pflegestoff zum Konditionieren derselben nach dem Haarformprozess ist, um die vorgenommene Haarformung nicht zu beeinträchtigen, nur im Wege eines festigenden Sprays möglich. Appliziert wird ein solches Pflegestoffspray nach Abschluss des gesamten Haarformprozesses, also: nachdem die Gesamtheit der zu formenden Haare geformt worden sind. Daher ist eine auf bestimmte Haarsträhnen beschränkte selektive Applikation von Pflegestoffen nach formvollendetem Formvorgang nicht oder zumindest nicht ohne weiteres möglich. If care substances are supplied to the hair in connection with a hair shaping, this takes place before the molding process to be carried out with the hair styling device. The care substance (s) are sprayed onto the hair or, if these are foam or gel preparations, massaged into the hair. However, this means that the entire hair or part of the hair to be formed is to be treated in a first step with the care fabric, to be subsequently molded with the hair styling device with heat. Treating the shaped hairs with a conditioner to condition them after the hair-styling process is possible only in the form of a firming spray so as not to interfere with the hair-setting that has been made. Such a care spray is applied after completion of the entire hair-shaping process, ie after the entirety of the hair to be formed have been shaped. Therefore, a limited to certain strands selective application of care materials after perfect molding process is not or at least not readily possible.
Ausgehend von diesem diskutierten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Pflegestoffapplikator, geeignet als Teil eines Haarformgerätes oder zum Anschließen an ein Haarformgerät vorzuschlagen, der einfach in seinem Aufbau und in seiner Handhabung ist. Based on this discussed prior art, the invention therefore has the object of proposing a care applicator, suitable as part of a hair styling device or for connection to a hair styling device, which is simple in its structure and in its handling.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß durch einen Pflegestoffapplikator, umfassend ein in einem Gehäuse angeordnetes, als Kartuschenaufnahme ausgeführtes Pflegestoffreservoir mit zumindest einem Pflege- stoffapplikationsaustritt und mit einer Kartuschenöffnung zum Einsetzen und Herausnehmen einer Pflegestoffkartusche sowie umfassend eine einen von einem Tragekörper in Einsetzrichtung formstabil gehaltenen Pfle- gestoffträger mit darin in flüssiger Form gehaltenem Pflegestoff, welcher Tragekörper über eine Handhabe zum Handhaben der Pfleg estoffkartu- sche verfügt und welche Pflegestoffkartusche das Pfleg estoffreservoir in Bezug auf den Querschnitt desselben vollständig oder annähernd vollständig ausfüllt. This object is achieved according to the invention by a care fabric applicator, comprising a care fabric reservoir arranged in a housing, designed as a cartridge receptacle, with at least one care substance application outlet and with a cartridge opening for insertion and removal of a care fabric cartridge and comprising a care fabric support held in a dimensionally stable manner by a support body in the insertion direction with therein maintained in liquid form care fabric, which support body has a handle for handling the care estoffkartu- cal and which care fabric cartridge fills the care estoffreservoir in relation to the cross section thereof completely or almost completely.
Dieser typischerweise als Teil eines Haarformgerätes oder als an ein solches anschließbar ausgestalteter Pflegestoffapplikator ist hinsichtlich seines darin bevorrateten Pflegestoffes nachfüllbar. Zu diesem Zweck bedient man sich einer Pflegestoffkartusche, die über einen Pflegestoffträger verfügt, in dem der Pflegestoff gehalten ist. Der Pflegestoff kann in dem Pflegestoffträger abgabebereit gehalten sein, das heißt in seinem Aggregatzustand, mit dieser an das Haar zu applizieren ist. Der Pflegestoff ist in dem Pflegestoffträger gehalten. Je nach Ausgestaltung des Pflegestof- fapplikators bzw. des zu applizierenden Pflegestoffes kann der Pflegestoff in dem Pflegestoffträger in flüssiger, gelförmiger oder fester Form gehalten sein. Mitunter wird eine Zustandsänderung des Pflegestoffes herbeigeführt, bevor der Pflegestoff dem zu konditionierenden Haar zugeführt wird. Hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um eine Erwärmung des Pflegestoffes handeln, um diesen in seine Dampfphase zu bringen, damit eine Pflege- stoffapplikation in Dampfphase durchgeführt werden kann. Bei dem Pfle- gestoffträger handelt es sich typischerweise um ein textiles Material, etwa ein Vlies oder ein Filz. Auch der Einsatz eines offenporigen Schaumes ist zum Herstellen der Pflegestoffträgers denkbar. Zum Handhaben des Pfle- gestoffträgers ist diesem ein Tragekörper zugeordnet, durch den der Pfle- gestoffträger zumindest in Einsetzrichtung der Kartusche in ein als Kartuschenaufnahme ausgebildetes Pflegestoffreservoir formstabil gehalten ist. Dies dient dem Zweck, dass beim Einsetzen der Pflegestoffkartusche in eine solche Kartuschenaufnahme der Pflegestoff aus dem Pflegestoffträ- ger nicht oder allenfalls nur minimalst herausgedrückt wird. Dieses gilt vor allem dann, wenn der in dem Pflegestoffträger enthaltene Pflegestoff flüssig oder gelförmig ist. Somit verleiht der Tragekörper der Pflegestoffkartu- sche die zu ihrer Handhabung zum Einsetzen in das Pfleg estoffreservoir notwendige Formstabilität. Zum Anfassen der Pflegestoffkartusche dient eine an den Tragekörper typischerweise angeformte Handhabe. Diese kann beispielsweise schaftförmig oder auch nach Art einer Lasche ausgeführt sein. Letztere Ausgestaltung wird dann bevorzugt sein, wenn der Tragekörper zum Ver- und Entriegeln desselben innerhalb der Kartuschenaufnahme des Pflegestoffapplikators gedreht werden muss. Vorgesehen sein kann eine Verriegelung zwischen dem Tragekörper der Pflege- stoffkartusche und der Kartuschenaufnahme. This is typically refillable as part of a hair styling device or as a care fabric applicator which can be connected to such a hair care applicator stored in it. For this purpose, one uses a care fabric cartridge, which has a care carrier, in which the care substance is maintained. The care substance can be kept ready for dispensing in the care carrier, that is, in its state of aggregation, with this to be applied to the hair. The care substance is held in the care carrier. Depending on the configuration of the care substance applicator or the care substance to be applied, the care substance can be held in the care carrier in liquid, gel or solid form. Occasionally, a state change of the care substance is brought about before the care material is supplied to the hair to be conditioned. This may be, for example, a heating of the care substance in order to bring it into its vapor phase, so that a care substance application can be carried out in the vapor phase. The care carrier is typically a textile material, such as a fleece or a felt. The use of an open-cell foam is conceivable for producing the Pfleffoffträgers. For handling the care carrier, a carrier body is assigned to it, by which the nursing carrier is kept dimensionally stable, at least in the insertion direction of the cartridge, in a care-substance reservoir formed as a cartridge receptacle. This serves the purpose that, when inserting the care-product cartridge into such a cartridge receptacle, the care substance is not pushed out of the care-substance carrier or only minimally pushed out at most. This applies especially when the care substance contained in the care carrier is liquid or gel. Thus, the support body of the care fabric cartridge gives the required for their handling for insertion into the care estoffreservoir dimensional stability. To touch the care fabric cartridge is a typically integrally formed on the support body handle. This can be performed, for example, shank-shaped or in the manner of a tab. The latter embodiment will be preferred when the support body for locking and unlocking thereof within the cartridge receptacle of the care applicator has to be rotated. A lock can be provided between the carrying body of the care substance cartridge and the cartridge receptacle.
Teil des Tragekörpers kann ein den Pflegestoffträger in Einsetzrichtung der Pflegestoffkartusche in die Kartuschenaufnahme gegenüber Deformationen schützender Flansch sein. Part of the support body may be a care carrier in the insertion direction of the care fabric cartridge in the cartridge receptacle against deformation protective flange.
Der Pflegestoffapplikator kann derart ausgeführt sein, dass der an eine Haarsträhne zu applizierende Pflegestoff kontaktierend oder auch berührungslos in das Haar eingebracht wird. In ersterem Fall wird das Haar kontaktierend an dem Pflegestoffapplikationsaustritt vorzugsweise an einem darin eingesetzten für das Pflegemittel durchlässigen Verschlusskörper, der durchaus auch Teil des Pflegestoffträgers sein kann, vorbeigeführt. Im Falle einer berührungslosen Applikation von Pflegestoff kann Wärme genutzt werden, um den Pflegestoff in Dampfform dem Haar zuzuführen. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung ist es sinnvoll, den zu applizierenden Pflegestoff vorzuerwärmen, und zwar auf eine Temperatur nur wenig unterhalb seiner Verdampfungstemperatur. Ist eine solche Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, ist gemäß einer Ausführung vorgesehen, den Pflegestoffapplikator in Bezug auf die Heizeinrichtung des Haarformgerätes dergestalt anzuord- nen, dass durch diese der Pflegestoffträger in dem Pfleg estoffreservoir zumindest im Bereich des Pflegestoffapplikationsaustritts vorerwärmt wird. Über seine Verdampfungstemperatur wird der Pflegestoff durch das von dem mit einem Haarformgerät warm geformten Haar in den Pflegestoffap- plikationsaustritt hinein abgestrahlte Wärme gebracht. Bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung erfolgt eine Selbstregulierung der Pflegestoffapplikation. The care applicator can be designed in such a way that the care substance to be applied to a strand of hair is introduced into the hair in a contacting or contactless manner. In the former case, the hair contacting the care substance application outlet is preferably guided past a closure body which is permeable to the care product and which may well also be part of the care substance carrier. In the case of a non-contact application of care material, heat can be used to supply the care substance in vapor form to the hair. In such an embodiment, it makes sense to preheat the care substance to be applied, to a temperature only slightly below its evaporation temperature. If such a configuration is provided, it is provided according to an embodiment to arrange the care-substance applicator in relation to the heating device of the hair-styling device in this way. NEN, that is preheated by this the care carrier in the care estoffreservoir at least in the area of Pflegestoffapplikationsaustritts. Above its evaporation temperature, the care substance is brought to heat by the hair which has been hot-shaped by means of a hair-styling device into the care-substance application outlet. In such an embodiment, self-regulation of the care substance application takes place.
Der vorbeschriebene Pflegestoffapplikator zum Applizieren eines Pflegestoffes an eine Haarsträhne ist nicht nur einfach in seiner Ausbildung und Herstellung, sondern durch die beschriebene Kartuschenkonzeption ebenfalls zumindest teilweise wiederverwertbar. Ohne weiteres können bei diesem Konzept Pflegestoffkartuschen gegeneinander ausgetauscht werden, auch ohne dass eine erste Pflegestoffkartusche entleert ist. Dieses bietet die Möglichkeit, je nach Anwendungsfall den gewünschten Pflegestoff, bevorratet in einem Pflegestoffträger einer solchen Kartusche, in den Pflegestoffapplikator einzusetzen. Zur Unterscheidung unterschiedlicher Pflegestoffe kann vorgesehen sein, den Tragekörper und/oder den Pflegestoffträger farblich unterschiedlich zu kennzeichnen. Dann ist einem bestimmten Pflegestoff eine bestimmte Farbe des Tragekörpers und/oder des Pflegestoffträgers der Pflegestoffkartusche zugeordnet. Die mit dem Pflegestoffapplikator arbeitende Person kann sodann ohne weiteres erkennen, welcher Pflegestoff sich in dem Pflegestoffapplikator befindet. The above-described care applicator for applying a care product to a strand of hair is not only easy in its training and production, but also at least partially recyclable by the described cartridge design. With this concept care product cartridges can easily be exchanged for one another, even without a first care-substance cartridge being emptied. This offers the possibility, depending on the application, the desired care fabric, stored in a care carrier of such a cartridge to use in the care applicator. To distinguish different care substances can be provided to mark the support body and / or the care carrier in different colors. Then, a specific color of the wearer body and / or the care carrier of the care fabric cartridge is assigned to a specific care substance. The person working with the care applicator can then readily recognize which care substance is in the care applicator.

Ein Haarformgerät 1 ist als sogenannter Straightener und damit prinzipiell zum Glätten von Haar konzipiert. Das Haarformgerät 1 verfügt über zwei gelenkig aneinander angeschlossene Arme, die zangenartig gegeneinander verstellbar sind. In Figur 1 ist das Haarformgerät 1 lediglich mit einem der beiden Arme 2 gezeigt. Jeder Arm trägt an seinem freien Ende an der zu dem jeweils anderen Arm weisenden Seite ein Formwerkzeug 3. Bei diesen handelt es sich um jeweils eine elektrisch beheizte Formplatte mit einer ebenen, glatten Oberfläche. Somit bildet bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel die Oberfläche des Formwerkzeuges 3 die Haarformfläche, an der in Zusammenwirkung mit dem komplementären Formwerkzeug des anderen, in Figur 1 nicht gezeigten Armes Haar geformt werden kann. A hair styling device 1 is designed as a so-called Straightener and thus in principle for straightening hair. The hair styling device 1 has two articulated arms, which are adjustable against each other like pliers. In FIG. 1, the hair styling device 1 is shown with only one of the two arms 2. Each arm carries at its free end on the facing to the other arm side of a mold 3. These are each an electrically heated mold plate with a flat, smooth surface. Thus, in the illustrated embodiment, the surface of the forming tool 3 forms the hair shaping surface, on which hair can be formed in cooperation with the complementary forming tool of the other arm, not shown in FIG.
Der Arm 2 des Haarformgerätes 1 trägt an seinen beiden Längsseiten jeweils einen Pflegestoffapplikator 4, 4.1 . Im Folgenden ist der Pflegestoff- applikator 4 beschrieben. Der Pflegestoffapplikator 4.1 ist identisch aufgebaut. Der Pflegestoffapplikator 4 des dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels besteht aus einem Gehäuse 5, in das ein zylindrisches, der Längserstreckung des Gehäuses 5 folgendes Pflegestoffreservoir 6 eingebracht ist. Die vordere, in Figur 1 erkennbare stirnseitige Öffnung 7 des Pflegestoff- reservoirs 6 dient zum Einsetzen und zum Herausnehmen einer Pflegestoffkartusche 8. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 1 ist in einen oberen Pflegestoffapplikationsaustritt des Gehäuses 5 ein Verschlusskörper 9 eingesetzt. The arm 2 of the hair styling device 1 carries on its two longitudinal sides in each case a care applicator 4, 4.1. In the following, the conditioner applicator 4 is described. The care applicator 4.1 is constructed identically. The care applicator 4 of the illustrated embodiment consists of a housing 5, in which a cylindrical, the longitudinal extent of the housing 5 following care fabric reservoir 6 is introduced. The front, visible in Figure 1 frontal opening 7 of the care fabric reservoirs 6 is used for insertion and removal of a care fabric cartridge 8. In the embodiment of Figure 1, a closure body 9 is inserted into an upper Pflegestoffapplikationsaustritt of the housing 5.
Die Pflegestoffkartusche 8 verfügt, wie aus Figur 2 erkennbar, über einen Tragekörper 10, der bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als Dorn ausgebildet ist. Auf dem Dorn 10 sitzt ein Pflegestoffträger 1 1 , der bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ein mit Pflegestoff getränkter zylindrischer Filzkörper ist. Der Pflegestoff ist in dem Pflegestoffträger 1 1 in flüssiger Form gehalten. Der Pflegestoffträger 1 1 ist ausgebildet, damit durch seine Kapillarkräfte eine Konzentrationsverteilung des darin gehaltenen Pflegestoffes erfolgt und somit ein Transport von Pflegestoff in Richtung zu dem Verschlusskörper 9 hin gegeben ist, wenn die Pflegestoffkartusche 8 in das Pfleg estoffreservoir 6 eingesetzt ist. Der Tragekörper 10 durchgreift den Pflegestoffträger 1 1 über seine gesamte Länge. Stirnseitig ist der zylindrische Pflegestoffträger 1 1 einerseits durch einen an dem Tragekörper 10 angeformten Flansch 12, an den wiederum eine Handhabe 13 angeformt ist, und andererseits durch einen weiteren Flansch 14, der auf das freie Ende des Tragekörpers 10 aufgesetzt und mit diesem verbunden ist, vor Deformationen in Längsrichtung des Tragekörpers 10 vor allem beim Einsetzen desselben in das Pflegestoffreservoir 6 geschützt. Der Tragekörper 10 mit seinem Flansch 12 und der Handhabe 13 ist ebenso wie der als Scheibe ausgebildete Flansch 14 ein Kunststoffteil. The care fabric cartridge 8 has, as can be seen from Figure 2, a support body 10 which is formed in the illustrated embodiment as a mandrel. On the mandrel 10 sits a care carrier 1 1, which is in the illustrated embodiment, a soaked with care fabric cylindrical felt body. The care substance is held in the care carrier 1 1 in liquid form. The Pflegestoffträger 1 1 is formed so that by its capillary forces a concentration distribution of the care substance held therein and thus a transport of care substance is given towards the closure body 9 out when the care fabric cartridge 8 is inserted into the care estoffreservoir 6. The support body 10 passes through the care carrier 1 1 over its entire length. On the front side, the cylindrical care carrier 1 1 is formed, on the one hand, by a flange 12 integrally formed on the support body 10, to which in turn a handle 13 is formed, and on the other hand by a further flange 14, which is placed on and connected to the free end of the support body 10, protected from deformation in the longitudinal direction of the support body 10, especially when inserting the same in the care fabric reservoir 6. The support body 10 with its flange 12 and the handle 13 is as well as the disc formed as a flange 14 is a plastic part.
Figur 3 zeigt in einem Längsschnitt die Pflegestoffkartusche 8. Gestrichelt sind in Figur 3 mögliche Weiterbildungen gezeigt. Bei diesen handelt es sich zum einen um einen Verriegelungsfortsatz 15 als Verlängerung des als Dorn ausgeführten Tragekörpers 10. An dem Verriegelungsfortsatz 15 ist ein Verriegelungsnocken 16 in radialer Richtung abragend angeformt. Dem Pflegestoffreservoir 6 bzw. dem Gehäuse 5 des Pflegestoffapplika- tors 4 ist an komplementärer Stelle eine komplementäre Verriegelungselementaufnahme zugeordnet, welche über einen Einsetzabschnitt zum Einführen des Verriegelungsnockens 16 und über einen Verriegelungsabschnitt verfügt, hinter den der Verriegelungsnocken 16 greift, wenn dieser nach Einsetzen desselben in den Einsetzabschnitt um einen gewissen Winkelbetrag gedreht worden ist. Mithin ist der Verriegelungsfortsatz 15 mit seinem Verriegelungsnocken 16 und das komplementäre Verriegelungselement des Gehäuses 5 nach Art einer Steck-Dreh-Verriegelung (Bajonettverriegelung) ausgeführt. Gemäß einer anderen Ausgestaltung ist an den Flansch 12 ein Verriegelungsnocken 16.1 angeformt. Dieser steht in gleicher Weise, wie dieses zu dem Verriegelungsnocken 16 beschrieben ist, mit einer komplementären Verriegelungselementaufnahme an der vorderen Stirnseite des Gehäuses 5 zur Verriegelung der Pflegestoffkartu- sche am Gehäuse 5 in Eingriff. FIG. 3 shows in a longitudinal section the care-product cartridge 8. Dashed lines in FIG. 3 show possible further developments. These are, on the one hand, a locking extension 15 as an extension of the carrier body 10 designed as a mandrel. On the locking extension 15, a locking cam 16 is formed protruding in the radial direction. The care fabric reservoir 6 or the housing 5 of the Pflegestoffapplika- sector 4 is associated with a complementary complementary complementary locking element recording, which has an insertion portion for insertion of the locking cam 16 and a locking portion behind which the locking cam 16 engages, if this after insertion of the same in the insertion has been rotated by a certain angular amount. Thus, the locking extension 15 executed with its locking cam 16 and the complementary locking element of the housing 5 in the manner of a plug-in rotary locking (bayonet lock). According to another embodiment, a locking cam 16.1 is integrally formed on the flange 12. This is in the same way as this is described to the locking cam 16, with a complementary locking element receptacle on the front end side of the housing 5 for locking the care fabric cartridge on the housing 5 into engagement.
Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass der Innendurchmesser des Pflegestoffreservoirs 6 geringfügig kleiner ist als der Außendurchmesser des Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 der Pflegestoffkartusche 8. Dadurch ist sichergestellt, dass, wie in Figur 4 erkennbar, die äußere Mantelfläche des Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 in Kontakt mit dem Verschlusskörper 9 steht. In the illustrated embodiment, it is provided that the inner diameter of the Pflegestoffreservoirs 6 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 of the care fabric cartridge 8. This ensures that, as can be seen in Figure 4, the outer surface of the Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 in contact with the Closure body 9 is.
Appliziert wird Pflegestoff an eine Haarsträhne bei dieser Ausgestaltung dadurch, dass die Haarsträhne kontaktierend an der durch die Oberseite des Verschlusskörpers 9 gebildeten Applikationsfläche 17 an dem Pfle- gestoffapplikator 4 vorbeigezogen wird. Nursing material is applied to a strand of hair in this embodiment in that the hair strand is pulled past the care fabric applicator 4 in a contacting manner on the application surface 17 formed by the upper side of the closure body 9.
Das vorbeschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel ist anhand von zwei, benachbart zu den Haarformflächen angeordneten Pflegestoffapplikatoren beschrieben worden. Es versteht sich, dass ein Haarformgerät auch nur mit einem Pflegestoffapplikator ausgerüstet sein kann. Im Falle eines Straigh- teners würde sich dieser an der einen oder anderen Längsseite eines seiner Arme befinden. The above-described embodiment has been described with reference to two, arranged adjacent to the hair shaping surfaces Pfleggestoffapplikatoren. It is understood that a hair styling device can only be equipped with a care applicator. In the case of a straightener, this would be on one or the other long side of one of his arms.
Figur 5 zeigt ein weiteres Haarformgerät 1 .1 , von dem ebenfalls nur der untere Arm 2.2 gezeigt ist. Das Haarformgerät 1 .1 ist aufgebaut wie das zu dem Ausführungsbeispiel der Figuren 1 bis 4 beschriebene Haarformgerät 1 . Das Haarformgerät 1 .1 unterscheidet sich von dem Haarformgerät 1 durch die Ausgestaltung seiner Pflegestoffapplikatoren 4.2, 4.3. Die Pflegestoffapplikatoren 4.2, 4.3 sind identisch aufgebaut. Im Folgenden ist der Pflegestoffapplikator 4.2 beschrieben. Das Gehäuse 5.1 des Pfle- gestoffapplikators 4.2 verfügt über einen nach Art eines der Längserstreckung des Gehäuses 5.1 folgenden Schlitzes ausgebildeten Pflegestoff- applikationsaustritt 18. Das Pfleg estoffreservoir 6.1 weist bei dieser Ausgestaltung eine rechteckförmige Querschnittsgeometrie auf. Eingesetzt wird bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in das Pfleg estoffreservoir 6.1 eine Pflegestoffkartusche 8.1 , die ebenfalls über einen Tragekörper 10.1 und einen Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1 verfügt. In der Darstellung der Figur 5 ist die Pflegestoffkartusche 8.1 nach Art einer Explosionsdarstellung gezeigt. Der Tragekörper 10.1 dieses Ausführungsbeispiels ist im Querschnitt U-förmig ausgebildet und dient zur Aufnahme des unteren Abschnittes des quaderförmig ausgeführten Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 .1 . Dieser ist mit seinem unteren Abschnitt innerhalb der U-förmigen Aufnahme des Tragekörpers 10.1 verklemmt gehalten. Angeformt an den Tragekörper 10.1 ist eine Handhabe 13.1 zum Handhaben der Pflegestoffkartusche 8.1 . Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die die Schmalseite bildende Querseite des Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 .1 geringfügig größer als die entsprechende Breite des Pflege- stoffreservoirs 6.1 . Dieses gewährleistet, dass der Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1 an den diesbezüglichen Innenwänden des Pflegestoffreservoirs 6.1 unter einer geringen Vorspannung anliegt. Figure 5 shows another hair styling device 1 .1, of which also only the lower arm 2.2 is shown. The hair styling device 1 .1 is constructed as the hair styling device 1 described for the embodiment of Figures 1 to 4. The hair styling device 1 .1 differs from the hair styling device 1 by the configuration of its care fabric applicators 4.2, 4.3. The care applicators 4.2, 4.3 are identical. The following describes the care applicator 4.2. The housing 5.1 of the care fabric applicator 4.2 has a care fabric designed in the manner of one of the longitudinal extents of the housing 5.1. Application outlet 18. The care estoffreservoir 6.1 has in this embodiment, a rectangular cross-sectional geometry. Is used in this embodiment in the care estoffreservoir 6.1 a care fabric cartridge 8.1, which also has a support body 10.1 and a Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1. In the illustration of Figure 5, the care fabric cartridge 8.1 is shown in the manner of an exploded view. The support body 10.1 of this embodiment is U-shaped in cross section and serves to receive the lower portion of the cuboid carried Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 .1. This is held jammed with its lower portion within the U-shaped receptacle of the support body 10.1. Formed on the support body 10.1 is a handle 13.1 for handling the care fabric cartridge 8.1. In this embodiment, the lateral side of the care substance carrier 11 forming the narrow side is slightly larger than the corresponding width of the care substance reservoir 6.1. This ensures that the Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1 rests against the relevant inner walls of Pflegestoffreservoirs 6.1 under a slight bias.
Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Pflegestoffapplikationsaust tt 18 offen. Überdies sind die Pflegestoffapplikatoren 4, 4.1 derart an den Arm 2.2 des Haarformgerätes 1 .1 angeschlossen, dass durch das darin integrierte Heizelement ebenfalls der Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1 erwärmt wird. Eine Erwärmung des Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 .1 ist auf eine Temperatur unterhalb seiner Verdampfungstemperatur vorgesehen, beispielsweise 15° bis 30° unterhalb derselben. Appliziert wird bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel Pflegestoff an das zu konditionierende Haar in Dampfform. Ausgenutzt wird zu diesem Zweck die von dem geformten warmen Haar in den Pflegestoffap- plikationsaustritt 18 hinein abgestrahlte Wärme, durch die an der Oberseite des Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 .1 befindlichen Pflegestoff über seine Verdampfungstemperatur erwärmt wird und Pflegestoff in Dampfform aus dem Pflegestoffapplikationsaustritt 18 austritt und auf diese Weise an die daran vorbeigeführte Haarsträhne gelangt. In this embodiment, the care application station 18 is open. In addition, the care fabric applicators 4, 4.1 are connected to the arm 2.2 of the hair styling device 1 .1 in such a way that the care carrier 1 1 is likewise heated by the heating element integrated therein. A warming of the care carrier 1 1 .1 is provided at a temperature below its evaporation temperature, for example 15 ° to 30 ° below it. In this embodiment, care substance is applied to the hair to be conditioned in vapor form. For this purpose, the heat radiated from the formed warm hair into the care substance application outlet 18 is utilized, through which the care substance located at the top of the care carrier 11 is heated above its evaporation temperature and care material in vapor form emerges from the care application application outlet 18 and emerges this way gets to the hair strand passed by it.
Figur 7 zeigt in einer schematisierten Querschnittsdarstellung eine weitere Ausgestaltung eines als Straightener ausgebildeten Haarformgerätes 1 .2. Das Haarformgerät 1 .2 verfügt ebenso wie die bereits zu den vorangegangenen Figuren beschriebenen Haarformgeräte über einen Pflegestoff- applikator 4.4. Der Pflegestoffapplikator 4.4 umfasst ein Pflegestoffreser- voir 6.2, welches unterhalb der äußeren, gekrümmten Schale 19 des in Figur 7 gezeigten Armes 20 des Straighteners 1 .2 angeordnet ist. Das Pfleg estoffreservoir 6.2 steht über Durchbrechungen 21 mit der Umgebung in Verbindung. Die Durchbrechungen 21 stellen bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel den Pflegestoffaustritt dar. Die Durchbrechungen 21 sind über die Quererstreckung des Pflegestoffreservoirs 6.2 verteilt angeordnet. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel bilden die Durchbrechungen 21 der Längserstreckung des Armes 20 und damit der Längserstreckung des Pflegestoffreservoirs 6.2 folgende Schlitze. In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass in die Schale 19 rundliche Durchbrechungen, angeordnet nach Art eines Rasters als Pflegestoffaustritt eingebracht sind. FIG. 7 shows, in a schematic cross-sectional representation, a further embodiment of a hair styling device 1 .2 designed as a straightener. The hair styling device 1 .2 has as well as the hair styling devices already described to the preceding figures a care substance applicator 4.4. The care applicator 4.4 comprises a care fabric reservoir 6.2, which is arranged below the outer, curved shell 19 of the arm 20 of the straightener 1 .2 shown in FIG. The care estoffreservoir 6.2 communicates through openings 21 with the environment. The apertures 21 represent in this embodiment, the care fabric outlet. The openings 21 are arranged distributed over the transverse extent of the care fabric reservoir 6.2. In the illustrated embodiment, the openings 21 of the longitudinal extension of the arm 20 and thus the longitudinal extension of the care fabric reservoir 6.2 form the following slots. In an alternative embodiment, it is provided that in the shell 19 round perforations, arranged in the manner of a grid are introduced as Pflegestoffaustritt.
Eingesetzt in das Pfleg estoffreservoir 6.2 ist eine Pflegestoffkartusche 8.2, die ebenso wie dieses bei den vorgangbeschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel der Fall ist, das Pfleg estoffreservoir 6.2 ausfüllt. Die Pflegestoffkartu- sche umfasst einen unterseitigen Tragekörper 10.2. Auf diesem sitzt der Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1 . Der Tragekörper 10.2 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge des Pflegestoffträgers 1 1 .2. Angeformt an den Tragekörper 10.2 ist eine vorderseitig aus dem Arm 20 des Haarformgerätes 1 .2 herausgeführte Handhabungslasche, mit der die Pflegestoffkartusche 8.2 in das Pflegestoffreservoir 6.2 eingeschoben und nach Gebrauch auch wieder herausgezogen werden kann. In einer Weiterbildung der in Figur 7 gezeigten Ausgestaltung des Haarformgerätes 1 .2 ist vorgesehen, dass sich das Pflegestoffreservoir mehr oder weniger vollständig entlang der Innenseite äußeren Schale des jeweiligen Armes des Haarformgerätes erstreckt. Die als Pflegestoffaustritt dienenden Durchbrechungen erstrecken sich sodann ebenfalls entsprechend weit. An die Geometrie des Pfleg estoffreservoirs ist sodann die hierin einzusetzende Pflegestoffkartu- sche angepasst, die prinzipielle aufgebaut ist wie die Pflegestoffkartusche 8.2. Used in the care estoffreservoir 6.2 is a care fabric cartridge 8.2, which, like this in the process described embodiment of the case that fills estoffreservoir 6.2 fills. The care fabric cartridge comprises a lower-side support body 10.2. On this sits the Pflegestoffträger 1 1 .1. The support body 10.2 extends over the entire length of the care carrier 1 1 .2. Formed on the support body 10.2 is a front side of the arm 20 of the hair styling device 1 .2 led out handling strap, with the care fabric cartridge 8.2 can be inserted into the care fabric reservoir 6.2 and pulled out again after use. In a further development of the embodiment of the hair styling device 1 .2 shown in FIG. 7, it is provided that the care fabric reservoir extends more or less completely along the inside outer shell of the respective arm of the hair styling device. The breakthroughs serving as a care substance outlet then likewise extend correspondingly far. To the geometry of the care estoffreservoirs then the care fabric cartridge to be used herein is adapted, which is constructed in principle as the care fabric cartridge 8.2.
Das anhand der Ausführungsbeispiele beschriebene Konzept der Pfle- gestoffapplikatoren mit ihren Kartuschen ist einfach im Aufbau und vor allem auch in der Handhabung. Die Pflegestoffkartuschen lassen sich ohne weiteres handhaben und lagern, auch wenn diese nur zum Teil benutzt sind. Dieses erlaubt einen problemlosen Wechsel der in ein Pfleg estoffre- servoir einzusetzenden Kartusche, und zwar in Abhängigkeit von dem jeweils zu applizierenden Pflegestoff. Bei einem Haarformgerät, wie etwa in den Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben, mit zwei Pflegestoffapplikatoren können unterschiedliche Pflegestoffe appliziert werden, sollte dies gewünscht sein. The concept of care fabric applicators with their cartridges described with reference to the exemplary embodiments is simple in design and, above all, in handling. The care cartons can be easily handled and stored, even if they are only partially used are. This allows a problem-free change of the cartridge to be used in a care estoffre reservoir, depending on the care substance to be applied in each case. In a hair styling device, as described in the exemplary embodiments, with two care applicators different care substances can be applied, should this be desired.
Zum Kennzeichnen der Pflegestoffkartuschen hinsichtlich des darin bevorrateten Pflegestoffes können diese insgesamt oder nur bezüglich des Tragekörpers bzw. der daran angeformten Handhabe und/oder hinsichtlich des Pflegestoffträgers farblich gekennzeichnet sein. Dieses erlaubt eine optische Identifizierung des jeweils in einem Pflegestoffreservoir befindlichen Pflegestoffes. For characterizing the care substance cartridges with regard to the care substance stored therein, they may be color-coded in their entirety or only with respect to the support body or the handle formed thereon and / or with regard to the care substance carrier. This allows an optical identification of the respective care substance in a care fabric reservoir.
Die beschriebenen Pflegestoffkartuschen können grundsätzlich wiederverwendet werden. Zum Nachfüllen einer solchen Pflegestoffkartusche, das heißt zum erneuten Durchtränken des Pflegestoffträgers kann diese in ein entsprechendes Vorratsgefäß eingelegt oder eingehängt werden, bis der Pflegestoffträger sich mit dem Pflegestoff voll gesogen hat. The care substance cartridges described can basically be reused. To refill such a care fabric cartridge, that is, for re-impregnation of Pflegestoffträgers this can be inserted or suspended in a corresponding storage vessel until the care carrier has fully sucked with the care fabric.
Die Erfindung ist anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben worden. Ohne den Umfang der geltenden Ansprüche zu verlassen, ergeben sich für einen Fachmann zahlreiche weitere Ausgestaltungen, die Erfindung verwirklichen zu können, ohne dass diese im einzelnen im Rahmen dieser Ausführungen näher erläutert werden müssten. The invention has been described with reference to embodiments. Without departing from the scope of the applicable claims, numerous further embodiments for a person skilled in the art will be able to realize the invention without these having to be explained in greater detail in the context of these statements.
