Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved hair brush.
  • this invention relates to a hot-air hair brush of a professional type.
  • Delicate hair or scalp, curly hair, long hair and wavy hair require specific brushes, in the same way that various types of brush are also required to create crimping in the hair, or to straighten it, increasing or reducing the volume.
  • the brushes can be chosen on the basis of shape and dimensions, the material of the bristles and their density or on the basis of the material of the body of the brush or the type of grip.
  • hot-air brushes which have the distinctive feature of accumulating heat, for example emitted by a hairdryer, to be then released to the hair during combing according to methods known to hairdressers.
  • these brushes have a metallic central body, made of perforated plate.
  • the bristles designed to engage with the hair protrude from the holes of the plate.
  • the body preferably made of aluminium and aluminium alloys, makes it possible to operate on the hair with a tool which is able to transfer heat and this heat transfer enables a more incisive and long-lasting action to be performed on the hair.
  • Document EP 2 008 542 discloses a hot-air brush comprising a brush body having a substantially quadrangular sectional shape.
  • the aim of this invention is to provide an improved hot-air brush according to claim 1, which is able to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art brushes.
  • a further aim of this invention is to provide an improved brush which is easy and practical to use and inexpensive to make.
  • the reference numeral 1 denotes, in their entirety, two variant embodiments of the improved hot-air hair brush made in accordance with this invention.
  • the hot-air brush 1 comprises a body 2 having a longitudinal extension according to a predetermined central axis A, and a grip 3 connected to the body 2 at a longitudinal end of the latter.
  • the grip 3 also extends longitudinally along the above-mentioned axis A and has two ends 3a, 3b respectively distal and proximal with reference to the body 2.
  • the grip 3 has an area of transition to the dimensions of the body 2.
  • the above-mentioned body 2 comprises a plurality of bristles 4 and a tubular metal wall 5 enclosing these bristles 4.
  • the tubular metal wall 5 is tubular in shape.
  • the metal wall 5 has a plurality of through holes 6 through which the above-mentioned bristles 4 emerge towards the outside to be able to engage, in use, with the hair to be treated.
  • the body 2 also comprises a core 7 for retaining the bristles 4 positioned inside the tubular wall 5 and anchored stably on the grip 3 at its proximal end 3b.
  • the core 7 for retaining the bristles 4 is advantageously of the twisted metal wire type wherein, in known manner, two or more metal wires are wound in the form of a spiral with the bristles 4 interposed between them.
  • the bristles 4 are advantageously made of synthetic material.
  • the bristles 4 are made from bristles of a natural origin.
  • the metal wall 5 has a first and a second end portion 5a, 5b longitudinally opposite each other.
  • the first end portion 5a is inserted in a housing cavity 8 formed at the end 3b near the grip 3.
  • the second end portion 5b is engaged by a protective and closing cap 9.
  • the tubular metal wall 5 has two substantially flat portions P1, P2, opposite one another and two curved parts (stretches) T1, T2 connecting the flat portions.
  • the two above-mentioned portions P1, P2 are located on opposite sides of the central axis A and the core 7 for retaining the bristles 4, and are connected to each other by the two curved parts (stretches) T1, T2.
  • the above-mentioned substantially flat portions P1, P2 are parallel to each other.
  • the substantially flat portions P1, P2 have respective external faces fp1, fp2 which are designed to come into contact with the hair.
  • the external (outer) faces fp1, fp2 are positioned mutually spaced by a first distance D1.
  • the value of the first distance D1 is between 4 mm and 20 mm.
  • the value of the first distance D1 is between 5 mm and 12 mm. Even more preferably the value of the first distance D1 is about 7 mm.
  • the external faces ft1, ft2 are positioned mutually spaced by a second distance D2 which is defined by the maximum dimensions of the tubular wall 5 in a direction D perpendicular to the central axis A and parallel to each of the substantially flat portions P1, P2.
  • tubular metal wall 5 With reference to the tubular metal wall 5, it is advantageously made of an aluminium alloy. Alternatively, it is made of a titanium alloy or any other metal alloy or also a non-metallic material which is able to offer a high heat accumulation capacity.
  • the ceramic constitutes an example of a non-metallic material which can be used to make the tubular wall 5, even in a partial manner, limited to the surface coating of a metal wall.
  • the hot-air brush 1 according to this invention has been found to be particularly effective in the treatment of hair, with specific reference, for example, to obtaining special crimped effects in hair and also to prevent the formation of unwanted curls.
  • a contribution to this effectiveness of the brush 1 is its particular flattened configuration, wherein the two substantially flat portions P1, P2 of the tubular metal wall 5 are connected to each other by curved parts (stretches) T1,
  • the user who handles the hot-air brush 1 can in fact exploit, by suitably modulating the force acting on the hair, for the purposes of curling and/or straightening, the curved parts (stretches) T1, T2 or the substantially flat portions P1, P2, thus conditioning the hair according to a wide variety of styles.
  • the reduced radius of curvature of the curved parts (stretches) T1, T2 of the tubular wall 5 makes it possible to also obtain, when required, very marked and clearly defined curls of the hair, which cannot be obtained with the normal round or oval brushes.
  • the improved hot-air brush 1 according to the invention therefore brings considerable advantages and achieves the preset aims.
