Description

ACCESSOIRE DE COIFFURE A POILS ET APPAREIL DE COIFFURE EQUIPE D'UN TEL ACCESSOIRE  HAIRSTYLE HAIR ACCESSORY AND HAIRSTYLE EQUIPMENT EQUIPPED WITH SUCH AN ACCESSORY
La présente invention concerne un accessoire de coiffure pour la mise en forme et le séchage des cheveux. Un tel accessoire de coiffure est utilisé sur un appareil de coiffure à flux d'air soufflé tel qu'un sèche-cheveux ou une brosse soufflante, ledit accessoire étant raccordé au niveau de la sortie d'air dudit appareil. Un objectif de l'accessoire selon l'invention est de faciliter le travail des cheveux et la manipulation de l'appareil durant le séchage et le coiffage. The present invention relates to a hairdressing accessory for shaping and drying hair. Such a hairdressing accessory is used on a hairdressing appliance with a blown air flow such as a hairdryer or a blower brush, said accessory being connected to the level of the air outlet of said appliance. An objective of the accessory according to the invention is to facilitate the work of the hair and the handling of the apparatus during drying and styling.
Il est connu le document publié sous le numéro CN103284440A qui divulgue un accessoire de coiffure agencé au niveau de la sortie d'air d'un sèche-cheveux. Cet accessoire comprend un corps creux pourvu d'une extrémité configurée pour être raccordée sur ladite sortie d'air, et un élément creux de forme annulaire ou torique qui est raccordé au corps creux et le prolonge vers l'avant. Cet élément creux comprend sur sa partie inférieure au moins une ouverture qui est configurée pour éjecter l'air soufflé par le sèche-cheveux autour dudit élément, selon une trajectoire parallèle à son axe de révolution. Cette conception présente pour avantage de manipuler facilement le sèche-cheveux lors du positionnement de l'accessoire au-dessus de la chevelure, ce qui permet d'une part de ne pas casser le poignet pour diriger l'air chaud verticalement et d'autre part de souffler l'air dans le sens de la longueur des cheveux, pour un meilleur séchage des cheveux sans abîmer leurs cuticules. It is known the document published under the number CN103284440A which discloses a hair accessory arranged at the air outlet of a hair dryer. This accessory comprises a hollow body provided with an end configured to be connected to said air outlet, and a ring-shaped or toroidal hollow element which is connected to the hollow body and extends it forward. This hollow element comprises on its bottom part at least one opening which is configured to eject the air blown by the hair dryer around said element, along a path parallel to its axis of revolution. This design has the advantage of easily handling the hair dryer when positioning the accessory above the hair, which on the one hand not to break the wrist to direct hot air vertically and other to blow the air in the direction of the length of the hair, for a better drying of the hair without damaging their cuticles.
Cet accessoire peut être utilisé également pour sécher le long de la mèche : dans ce cas, la mèche est introduite traversant l'anneau et l'accessoire est guidé le long de la mèche depuis le cuir chevelu vers l'extrémité de la mèche. Toutefois, pendant ce séchage de la mèche traversant l'accessoire, la mèche tient difficilement en place dans l'anneau et peut même s'emmêler. This accessory can also be used to dry along the wick: in this case, the wick is introduced through the ring and the accessory is guided along the wick from the scalp to the end of the wick. However, during this drying of the wick through the accessory, the wick is difficult to hold in place in the ring and can even get tangled.
La présente invention met en œuvre un accessoire de coiffure qui permet une manipulation aisée de l'appareil de coiffure et un positionnement convenable de cet accessoire lors du séchage. Elle a en outre pour objectif de faciliter le déplacement de l'appareil de coiffure et de l'accessoire de coiffure tout en conservant une position optimale de cet accessoire vis-à-vis de la chevelure, position selon laquelle l'air est soufflé dans le sens de la longueur des cheveux depuis le cuir chevelu vers l'extrémité de la mèche. Elle permet de répartir de façon homogène la mèche à l'intérieur de l'accessoire. Elle permet enfin de garantir un séchage rapide de la mèche, de ne pas emmêler la mèche et d'augmenter sa brillance. The present invention implements a hairdressing accessory that allows easy handling of the hairdressing apparatus and a convenient positioning of this accessory during drying. It also aims to facilitate the movement of the hairdressing appliance and the hairdressing accessory while maintaining an optimal position of this accessory vis-à-vis the hair, position that the air is blown into the direction of hair length from the scalp to the end of the wick. It allows to evenly distribute the wick inside the accessory. It finally allows to guarantee a quick drying of the wick, not to entangle the wick and increase its brilliance.
A cet effet, l'invention concerne un accessoire de coiffure pour la mise en forme des cheveux, destiné à être raccordé à une sortie d'air d'un appareil de coiffure à flux d'air soufflé, ledit accessoire comprenant un corps creux pourvu d'une extrémité configurée pour être raccordée à ladite sortie d'air, et comprenant au moins une première branche creuse de forme arquée qui prolonge le corps creux en bifurquant et qui comprend au moins une ouverture, ladite au moins une ouverture étant configurée pour éjecter l'air soufflé dans un sens substantiellement perpendiculaire à un plan P passant par ladite branche, ladite première branche creuse comprenant des poils qui s'étendent sur les côtés internes de la branche, de préférence parallèlement au plan P. Par plan P passant par les deux branches, on entend un plan P qui coupe les deux branches en s'étendant parallèlement à ces dernières. For this purpose, the invention relates to a hairdressing accessory for shaping the hair, intended to be connected to an air outlet of a blown-air hairdressing appliance, said accessory comprising a hollow body provided with an end configured to be connected to said air outlet, and comprising at least a first arcuate hollow branch which extends the hollow body by forking and which comprises at least one opening, said at least one opening being configured to eject the air blown in a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane P passing through said branch, said first hollow branch comprising bristles which extend on the inner sides of the branch, preferably parallel to the plane P. By plane P passing through the two branches means a plane P which cuts the two branches extending parallel to the latter.
Ainsi, les poils agencés à l'intérieur de l'arc formé par la branche permettent de brosser et/ou peigner la mèche, lui évitant d'être emmêlée, lui apportent plus de brillance ou éclat et permettent à la mèche d'être uniformément répartie à l'intérieur de l'accessoire. Les poils peuvent être en synthétique et/ou en matière naturelle, par exemple de sanglier. Par poil on entend tout poil en matière synthétique ou naturelle, mais aussi tout picot, par exemple en plastique, ou bien encore un ensemble de ceux-ci. Ils peuvent être rassemblés et fixés par touffes comprenant une ou plusieurs matières. Thus, the bristles arranged inside the arc formed by the branch can brush and / or comb the wick, preventing it from being entangled, bring it more shine or brightness and allow the wick to be uniformly distributed inside the accessory. The bristles may be synthetic and / or natural material, for example wild boar. By hair we mean any hair synthetic or natural material, but also any pin, for example plastic, or even a set of them. They can be collected and fixed by tufts comprising one or more materials.
Selon une réalisation, l'accessoire de coiffure comprend au moins une deuxième branche creuse de forme arquée qui prolonge le corps creux en bifurquant et qui comprend au moins une ouverture, lesdites ouvertures étant configurées pour éjecter l'air soufflé dans un sens substantiellement perpendiculaire à un plan P passant par les deux branches, ladite deuxième branche creuse comprenant des poils qui s'étendent sur les côtés internes de la branche, parallèlement au plan P. Ainsi, les poils agencés à l'intérieur de l'arc formé par chaque branche permettent de brosser et/ou peigner la mèche, lui évitant d'être emmêlée, en la traitant de chaque côté et lui apportent plus de brillance ou éclat. Les poils agencés sont maintenus de chaque côté de la branche de façon homogène pendant tout le déplacement de l'accessoire le long de la mèche. According to one embodiment, the hairdressing accessory comprises at least a second hollow branch of arcuate shape which extends the hollow body by bifurcating and which comprises at least one opening, said openings being configured to eject the blown air in a direction substantially perpendicular to a plane P passing through the two branches, said second hollow branch comprising bristles which extend on the inner sides of the branch, parallel to the plane P. Thus, the bristles arranged within the arc formed by each branch can brush and / or comb the wick, preventing it from being entangled, treating it on each side and bring it more shine or brightness. The bristles arranged are maintained on each side of the branch homogeneously throughout the movement of the accessory along the wick.
Selon cette réalisation de l'accessoire de coiffure, dans une première variante, les extrémités des poils sur la première branche sont distantes des extrémités des poils sur la seconde branche. Cette première variante permet de limiter les efforts de traction exercés sur les cheveux, durant le déplacement de l'accessoire le long desdits cheveux. According to this embodiment of the hairdressing accessory, in a first variant, the ends of the bristles on the first branch are distant from the ends of the bristles on the second branch. This first variant makes it possible to limit the traction forces exerted on the hair during the movement of the accessory along said hair.
Selon cette réalisation de l'accessoire de coiffure, dans une deuxième variante, les extrémités des poils sur la première branche sont en contact avec les extrémités des poils sur la seconde branche. Cette seconde variante permet un meilleur démêlage des cheveux. Afin de limiter tout de même la traction sur ces cheveux l'accessoire de coiffure prévoit de monter les poils sur au moins une barrette qui est assemblée avec un degré de mobilité vis-à-vis de la ou des branches. Ainsi, la mobilité de l'au moins une barrette permet d'écarter les poils en fonction de l'épaisseur de la mèche de cheveux disposée entre les deux branches durant le déplacement de l'accessoire de coiffure, ce qui limite la traction sur les cheveux. According to this embodiment of the hairdressing accessory, in a second variant, the ends of the bristles on the first branch are in contact with the ends of the bristles on the second branch. This second variant allows better disentangling of the hair. To limit all the same the traction on the hair the hair accessory plans to mount the bristles on at least one bar which is assembled with a degree of mobility vis-à-vis the branch or branches. Thus, the mobility of the at least one bar makes it possible to spread the hairs according to the thickness of the lock of hair disposed between the two branches during the movement of the hairstyle accessory, which limits the traction on the hairs. hair.
Dans ce mode de réalisation à barrette, la au moins une barrette peut être articulée autour d'un axe de rotation inclus dans le plan P passant par ladite au moins première branche. Au repos, les poils sont dans le plan P et en usage, ils pivotent si trop de tension est appliquée. L'articulation peut être limitée en angle, pour ne pas totalement éliminer l'effet des poils. Aussi, la au moins une barrette peut être mobile par montage sur au moins un ressort de rappel . Le ressort de rappel peut être intercalé entre la barrette et le corps de l'accessoire. Il peut être éventuellement réglable, permettant ainsi de garantir l'effort de brossage minimum selon la nature des cheveux. In this embodiment with a bar, the at least one bar may be articulated about an axis of rotation included in the plane P passing through said at least first branch. At rest, the bristles are in the plane P and in use they rotate if too much tension is applied. The articulation can be limited in angle, so as not to totally eliminate the effect of the hair. Also, the at least one bar may be movable by mounting on at least one return spring. The return spring can be inserted between the bar and the body of the accessory. It can be optionally adjustable, thus ensuring the minimum brushing effort according to the nature of the hair.
Enfin, la au moins une barrette peut être détachable ou interchangeable. Ceci permet de remplacer des barrettes de poils usées, ou bien de modifier la nature du poil, le diamètre des poils selon les cheveux d'utilisateurs différents ou selon l'état des cheveux d'un même utilisateur. Finally, the at least one bar can be detachable or interchangeable. This makes it possible to replace worn hairballs, or to modify the nature of the hair, the diameter of the hair according to the hair of different users or according to the condition of the hair of the same user.
Selon une première réalisation des deux branches, l'accessoire de coiffure présente lesdites branches configurées pour que leurs extrémités se touchent. Ceci permet une réalisation simplifiée de l'accessoire. Les deux branches peuvent même former une seule pièce. According to a first embodiment of the two branches, the hairdressing accessory has said branches configured so that their ends touch. This allows a simplified embodiment of the accessory. The two branches can even form one piece.
Selon une deuxième réalisation des deux branches, alternative à la première, l'accessoire de coiffure présente lesdites branches configurées pour que leurs extrémités présentent entre elles un écartement E permettant le passage de cheveux. Ainsi, l'accessoire peut être positionné convenablement au-dessus de la chevelure en manipulant aisément l'appareil de coiffure. En outre, les mèches de cheveux peuvent être positionnées facilement entre les deux branches en les introduisant par ledit écartement, ce qui permet de déplacer l'accessoire de coiffure le long des cheveux tout en maintenant un souffle d'air dans le sens de la longueur desdits cheveux. According to a second embodiment of the two branches, alternative to the first, the hairdressing accessory has said branches configured so that their ends have between them a distance E allowing the passage of hair. Thus, the accessory can be positioned properly above the hair by easily handling the hairdressing apparatus. In addition, the locks of hair can be positioned easily between the two branches by introducing them by said spacing, which allows to move the hair accessory along the hair while maintaining a breath of air in the direction of the length said hair.
Selon cette deuxième conception, les extrémités des branches de l'accessoire comprennent l'écartement E entre elles compris entre 10 et 40mm, préférentiellement entre 15 et 20 mm. Cette plage d'écartement permet de pénétrer facilement les cheveux entre les deux branches et incite en outre l'utilisateur à limiter l'épaisseur de la mèche de cheveux disposée entre ces deux branches . Par ailleurs, dans une première alternative de forme, les branches sont configurées pour former entre elles un cercle. Cette forme permet une excellente répartition du flux d'air, notamment lorsque l'accessoire est positionné au-dessus de la chevelure. Cette conception est aussi mieux adaptée aux appareils de coiffure de type sèche-cheveux en forme de pistolet. According to this second design, the ends of the branches of the accessory comprise the spacing E between them between 10 and 40 mm, preferably between 15 and 20 mm. This spacing range makes it possible to easily penetrate the hair between the two branches and further encourages the user to limit the thickness of the lock of hair arranged between these two branches. Moreover, in a first alternative form, the branches are configured to form a circle between them. This shape allows an excellent distribution of the air flow, especially when the accessory is positioned above the hair. This design is also better suited for hair-style hairdressers in the form of a gun.
Et dans une seconde alternative de forme, les branches sont configurées pour former sensiblement entre elles une ellipse. Cette conception favorise l'introduction des cheveux entre les deux branches en les répartissant le long desdites branches, ce qui favorise une disposition à plat de la mèche de cheveux entre les branches plutôt qu'une disposition en tronc de ladite mèche, pour une meilleure efficacité du souffle d'air sur les cheveux . Cette conception est en outre mieux adaptée aux appareils de coiffure de type brosse soufflante ayant des accessoires se montant dans le prolongement linéaire du corps de la brosse. La conception de forme oblongue ou elliptique permet aussi une bonne ergonomie de maintien de l'appareil complet lorsque l'accessoire est utilisé notamment pour sécher les mèches de cheveux sur le côté de la tête. And in a second alternative form, the branches are configured to form substantially between them an ellipse. This design promotes the introduction of the hair between the two branches by dividing along said branches, which promotes a flat arrangement of the lock of hair between the branches rather than a trunk arrangement of said wick, for greater efficiency breath of air on the hair. This design is furthermore more suitable for blower-style hairdressing appliances having accessories mounted in the linear extension of the brush body. The oblong or elliptical shape design also allows good ergonomics of maintaining the complete device when the accessory is used in particular to dry the locks of hair on the side of the head.
Selon une variante de conception de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, des moyens d'ouverture sont agencés entre au moins l'une des branches et le corps pour modifier l'écartement entre ces deux branches. D'une part, selon une première utilisation, cette conception favorise l'introduction des cheveux entre les deux branches. En effet, cette conception permet d'ouvrir les deux branches pour augmenter leur écartement entre elles et faciliter le positionnement des cheveux, avant de refermer lesdites branches pour les ramener en position normale. D'autre part, selon une seconde utilisation, cette conception permet d'écarter au maximum les deux branches pour les positionner au niveau du contour de la tête et encercler en partie ledit contour . According to a variant of the design of the hairdressing accessory object of the invention, opening means are arranged between at least one of the branches and the body to change the spacing between these two branches. On the one hand, according to a first use, this design promotes the introduction of hair between the two branches. Indeed, this design allows to open the two branches to increase their spacing between them and facilitate the positioning of the hair, before closing said branches to bring them back to normal position. On the other hand, according to a second use, this design allows to separate the two branches as much as possible to position them at the level of the contour of the head and encircle part of said contour.
Selon cette variante de conception de l'accessoire de coiffure objet de l'invention, un système d'actionnement est agencé entre au moins l'une des branches et le corps pour écarter automatiquement la ou les branches en activant ledit système. Cela facilite la manipulation de l'accessoire lorsque l'utilisateur souhaite écarter les deux branches. According to this variant of design of the hairdressing accessory object of the invention, an actuating system is arranged between at least one of the branches and the body to automatically remove the branch or branches in activating said system. This facilitates the handling of the accessory when the user wishes to separate the two branches.
L'invention concerne également un appareil de coiffure à flux d'air soufflé, de préférence un sèche-cheveux ou une brosse soufflante. Cet appareil de coiffure comprend une sortie d'air par laquelle est soufflé l'air qui peut être chauffé au préalable. L'appareil de coiffure comprend également au moins un accessoire de coiffure selon l'invention, qui comprend l'une ou l'autre des caractéristiques précitées. En outre, des moyens d'assemblage sont agencés entre ladite sortie d'air et l'extrémité du corps de l'accessoire de coiffure. Cela permet un assemblage amovible entre l'accessoire de coiffure et l'appareil de coiffure, afin de permettre l'utilisation de plusieurs accessoires de coiffure présentant des caractéristiques différentes, objets de l'invention ou non, avec le même appareil de coiffure. The invention also relates to a hairdressing appliance with a blown air flow, preferably a hair dryer or a blower brush. This hairdressing apparatus comprises an air outlet through which is blown the air which can be preheated. The hairdressing apparatus also comprises at least one hairdressing accessory according to the invention, which comprises one or other of the aforementioned characteristics. In addition, assembly means are arranged between said air outlet and the end of the body of the hairdressing accessory. This allows a removable assembly between the hairdressing accessory and the hairdressing appliance, to allow the use of several hairdressing accessories having different characteristics, objects of the invention or not, with the same hairdressing appliance.
Selon une conception de l'appareil de coiffure objet de l'invention, celui comprend un détecteur de présence de l'accessoire de coiffure assemblé sur la sortie d'air. Cela permet à l'appareil de coiffure de reconnaître l'accessoire de coiffure lors de son assemblage sur la sortie d'air. According to a design of the hairdressing apparatus object of the invention, that comprises a presence detector of the hairdressing accessory assembled on the air outlet. This allows the hairstylist to recognize the hairstyle accessory when assembled on the air outlet.
Selon cette conception, ledit appareil de coiffure comprend préférentiellement un indicateur de présence de l'accessoire de coiffure assemblé sur la sortie d'air, configuré pour être enclenché lorsque le détecteur de présence est actif. Cela permet d'indiquer à l'utilisateur que l'accessoire de coiffure est convenablement branché sur la sortie d'air de l'appareil. According to this design, said hairdressing apparatus preferably comprises a presence indicator of the hairdressing accessory assembled on the air outlet, configured to be engaged when the presence detector is active. This is to indicate to the user that the hairdressing accessory is properly connected to the air outlet of the appliance.
Selon cette conception, ledit appareil de coiffure comprend préférentiellement des moyens de limitation de la température de chauffe du flux d'air soufflé, configurés pour être enclenchés lorsque le détecteur de présence est actif. Cela présente pour avantage d'éviter une chauffe trop importante de l'accessoire de coiffure, pouvant causer son endommagement. According to this design, said hairdressing apparatus preferably comprises means for limiting the heating temperature of the blown air flow, configured to be engaged when the presence detector is active. This has the advantage of avoiding excessive heating of the hairdressing accessory, which can cause damage.

Sur les figures 1 et 2 est illustré un appareil de coiffure 1 à flux d'air soufflé du type sèche-cheveux. Il en est de même sur les figures 6, 7 et 9. Tandis que sur les figures 3, 4 et 8, cet appareil de coiffure 1 est du type brosse soufflante. L'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend un corps 2 comprenant une poignée de manipulation 2a et une sortie d'air 3 par laquelle est soufflé l'air. L'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend également un bouton de commande 4 et un bouton de réglage 5 de la température de chauffe de l'air soufflé. Le corps 2 intègre des moyens de chauffe de l'air (résistance électrique par exemple) et des moyens de soufflage de l'air (groupe moto-ventilateur par exemple) qui est éjecté par la sortie d'air 3, lesquels sont pilotés par une carte électronique. De telles caractéristiques de l'appareil de coiffure 1 sont bien connues de l'homme du métier et ne seront donc pas plus détaillées. Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, un accessoire de coiffure 6 est assemblé sur la sortie d'air 3 de l'appareil de coiffure 1 . L'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend un corps 7 qui est creux. L'extrémité 8 du corps 7 est assemblée avec la sortie d'air 3. Pour cela, l'extrémité 8 peut être configurée pour s'emboîter dans la sortie d'air 3. On peut également envisager un montage coulissant de l'extrémité 8 à l'intérieur de la sortie d'air 3, avec un système d'encliquetage (non illustré sur les figures) mis en œuvre entre l'extrémité 8 et la sortie d'air 3. Ce système d'encliquetage peut par exemple consister en une gorge agencée au niveau de l'extrémité 8 et en des griffes escamotables actionnées par un bouton de commande, les griffes se positionnant dans la gorge lors de l'engagement de l'extrémité 8 à l'intérieur de la sortie d'air 3 . Figures 1 and 2 is illustrated a hairdressing apparatus 1 with a blown air flow of the hair dryer type. It is the same in Figures 6, 7 and 9. While in Figures 3, 4 and 8, the hairstyling apparatus 1 is of the brush type. The hairstyling apparatus 1 comprises a body 2 comprising a handling handle 2a and an air outlet 3 through which the air is blown. The hairdressing appliance 1 also comprises a control knob 4 and an adjustment knob 5 for the heating temperature of the blown air. The body 2 includes means for heating the air (electrical resistance for example) and air blowing means (motor-fan unit for example) which is ejected by the air outlet 3, which are controlled by an electronic card. Such characteristics of the hairdressing apparatus 1 are well known to those skilled in the art and will therefore not be more detailed. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4, a hairdressing accessory 6 is assembled on the air outlet 3 of the hairdressing appliance 1. The hairdressing accessory 6 includes a body 7 which is hollow. The end 8 of the body 7 is assembled with the air outlet 3. For this, the end 8 can be configured to fit into the air outlet 3. It is also possible to envisage sliding mounting of the end 8 inside the air outlet 3, with a latching system (not shown in the figures) implemented between the end 8 and the air outlet 3. This snap system can for example consist of a groove arranged at the end 8 and retractable claws actuated by a control button, the claws positioning in the groove when the engagement of the end 8 inside the output of air 3.
Tel qu'illustré sur les figures 1 à 4, l'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend deux branches 9, 10 qui prolongent vers l'avant le corps 7 avec lequel elles communiquent en le séparant en deux, à la manière d'une bifurcation. Ces branches peuvent être substantiellement symétriques par rapport à un plan vertical et orthogonal au plan P passant par la ou les branches 9, 10. L'écartement E se situe à l'extrémité distale de l'accessoire une fois celui-ci monté sur l'appareil. Ces branches 9, 10 sont creuses et présentent une section transversale ayant la forme d'un U, comme illustré en figure 5. L'air soufflé sort de la sortie d'air 3 et passe à l'intérieur du corps 7, puis se propage le long des deux branches 9, 10, où il est éjecté vers le bas au travers d'une ouverture 1 1 , dans le sens des flèches 19, perpendiculairement au plan P, tel qu'illustré en figures 2, 3 et 5. L'ouverture 1 1 peut être continue entre les deux branches 9, 10. On peut au contraire prévoir une ou plusieurs ouvertures 1 1 distinctes sur chacune des deux branches 9, 10. Alternativement aux deux branches séparées et espacées, celles-ci peuvent se toucher (non illustré) pour former un cercle complet comme dans l'art antérieur cité plus haut CN 103284440 ou pour former une ellipse complète. Les deux branches peuvent être en communication de fluide pour laisser passer le flux d'air. Les deux branches peuvent être formées d'une seule pièce. As illustrated in Figures 1 to 4, the hairstyle accessory 6 comprises two branches 9, 10 which extend forwardly the body 7 with which they communicate by separating it in two, in the manner of a bifurcation. These branches may be substantially symmetrical with respect to a vertical plane and orthogonal to the plane P passing through the branch or branches 9, 10. The distance E is at the distal end of the accessory once it is mounted on the 'apparatus. These branches 9, 10 are hollow and have a cross section in the form of a U, as shown in Figure 5. The air blows out of the air outlet 3 and passes inside the body 7, then propagates along the two branches 9, 10, where it is ejected downwards through an opening 1 1, in the direction of the arrows 19, perpendicular to the plane P, as shown in Figures 2, 3 and 5. The opening 1 1 can be continuous between the two branches 9, 10. On the contrary, it is possible to provide one or more openings 1 1 distinct on each of the two branches 9, 10. Alternatively to the two separated and spaced branches, they can be touch (not shown) to form a complete circle as in the prior art cited above CN 103284440 or to form a complete ellipse. The two branches can be in fluid communication to let the air flow. The two branches can be formed in one piece.
Sur les figures 1 et 2, les branches 9, 10 présentent une forme en demi-cercle avec leurs extrémités 12, 13 distantes l'une de l'autre afin de maintenir un écartement E entre elles. Ainsi les branches 9, 10 forment concomitamment un cercle ouvert au niveau desdites extrémités 12, 13. Sur les figures 3 et 4, la forme en demi-cercle des branches 9, 10 est remplacée par une forme en demi- ellipse de sorte que lesdites branches 9, 10 forment concomitamment une ellipse ouverte au niveau des deux extrémités 12, 13 ayant un écartement E entre elles. Cet écartement E permet le passage des cheveux pour les positionner entre les deux branches 9, 10. L'écartement E entre les deux extrémités 12, 13 des branches 9, 10 est choisi entre 10 mm et 40 mm, par exemple plus précisément entre 15 mm et 20 mm. De préférence, l'écartement E est de 17 mm pour des branches 9,10 formant un cercle ouvert, et de 16 mm pour des branches 9, 10 formant une ellipse ouverte. Sur la figure 1 , l'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend des poils 14 qui s'étendent radialement à l'intérieur du cercle formé par les branches 9, 10, dans un plan parallèle au plan P. Ces poils 14 sont disposés sur une rangée qui s'étend de part et d'autre sur les côtés internes 9a, 10a desdites branches 9, 10. Ces poils 14 sont sans contact les uns vis-à-vis des autres. Sur la figure 4, l'accessoire de coiffure 6 comprend une première rangée de poils 14a qui s'étendent sur le côté interne 9a de la première branche 9 et une seconde rangée de poils 14b qui s'étendent sur le côté interne 10a de la seconde branche 10. Ces poils 14a, 14b sont disposés dans le plan P ou dans un plan parallèle audit plan P. Les extrémités 15a des poils 14a sur la première branche 9 viennent en contact avec les extrémités 15b des poils 14b sur la seconde branche 10. On pourrait toutefois envisager une variante selon laquelle lesdites extrémités 15a, 15b seraient distantes les unes vis-à-vis des autres. In Figures 1 and 2, the branches 9, 10 have a semicircular shape with their ends 12, 13 spaced from each other to maintain a spacing E between them. Thus the branches 9, 10 form concomitantly an open circle at said ends 12, 13. In FIGS. 3 and 4, the semicircular shape of the branches 9, 10 is replaced by a half-ellipse shape so that said branches 9, 10 form concomitantly an open ellipse at the two ends 12, 13 having a spacing E between them. This spacing E allows the passage of the hair to position between the two branches 9, 10. The distance E between the two ends 12, 13 of the legs 9, 10 is chosen between 10 mm and 40 mm, for example more precisely between 15 mm and 20 mm. Preferably, the spacing E is 17 mm for branches 9, 10 forming an open circle, and 16 mm for branches 9, 10 forming an open ellipse. In Figure 1, the hairdressing accessory 6 comprises bristles 14 which extend radially inside the circle formed by the branches 9, 10, in a plane parallel to the plane P. These bristles 14 are arranged on a row which extends on both sides on the inner sides 9a, 10a of said branches 9, 10. These bristles 14 are non-contact with each other. In Figure 4, the hairdressing accessory 6 includes a first row of bristles 14a which extend on the inner side 9a of the first branch 9 and a second row of bristles 14b which extend on the inner side 10a of the second branch 10. These bristles 14a, 14b are arranged in the plane P or in a plane parallel to said plane P. The ends 15a of the bristles 14a on the first branch 9 come into contact with the ends 15b of the bristles 14b on the second branch 10 However, it could be envisaged a variant according to which said ends 15a, 15b would be spaced apart from one another.
Les figures 8 et 9 présentent des branches 9, 10 formant respectivement sensiblement une ellipse ouverte et un cercle ouvert. Par ellipse on entend une cercle aplati et prenant une forme oblongue. Sur la figure 8, on constate la présence de deux rangées de poils 14a, 14b similaires à celles de la figure 4. En outre, on constate sur cette figure 8 que les poils 14a sur la première branche 9 sont montés sur une barrette 16. Cette barrette 16 est agencée sur le côté interne 9a de la branche, avec un montage souple offrant un degré de mobilité aux poils 14a. Une telle barrette 16 est également prévue sur le côté interne 10a de la seconde branche 10. Cette conception permet d'écarter légèrement les extrémités 15a, 15b des poils 14a, 14b afin de limiter les efforts de traction sur les cheveux disposés entre les deux branches 9, 10, durant le déplacement de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 le long de ces cheveux. Sur la figure 9, on constate que les extrémités 15 des poils 14 sont également en contact, contrairement au mode de réalisation illustré en figure 1 . Dans ce cas, une barrette 16 est également prévue sur les côtés internes 9a, 10a des branches 9, 10. Figures 8 and 9 have branches 9, 10 respectively forming substantially an open ellipse and an open circle. By ellipse we mean a flattened circle and taking an oblong shape. FIG. 8 shows the presence of two rows of bristles 14a, 14b similar to those of FIG. 4. In addition, it can be seen in FIG. 8 that the bristles 14a on the first branch 9 are mounted on a bar 16. This bar 16 is arranged on the inner side 9a of the branch, with a flexible assembly providing a degree of mobility to the bristles 14a. Such a bar 16 is also provided on the side internal 10a of the second branch 10. This design allows to slightly spread the ends 15a, 15b of the bristles 14a, 14b to limit the tensile forces on the hair disposed between the two branches 9, 10, during the movement of the hairdressing accessory 6 along this hair. In FIG. 9, it can be seen that the ends 15 of the bristles 14 are also in contact, unlike the embodiment illustrated in FIG. In this case, a bar 16 is also provided on the inner sides 9a, 10a of the branches 9, 10.
Sur la figure 6, la première branche 9 de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 est montée en liaison pivot 17 par rapport au corps 7, tout en communiquant avec celui-ci. La seconde branche 10 demeure fixe vis-à-vis du corps 7. Cette conception permet d'augmenter l'écartement E entre les deux extrémités 12, 13 des branches 9, 10, notamment pour faciliter l'introduction des cheveux entre ces deux branches 9, 10. Sur la figure 7, les deux branches 9, 10 sont montées en liaison pivot 17, 18 vis-à-vis du corps 7, ce qui permet d'augmenter encore plus l'écartement E, en comparaison du mode de réalisation illustré en figure 6. Un écartement important permet aussi, par exemple, de positionner l'accessoire de coiffure 6 avec les deux branches 9, 10 ouvertes au niveau du contour de la tête. Les modes de réalisation des figures 6 et 7 sont mis en œuvre avec des branches 9, 10 formant un cercle ouvert. On peut également envisager ces modes de réalisation avec des branches 9, 10 formant une ellipse ouverte semblable à celle illustrée sur les figures 4 et 8. In Figure 6, the first branch 9 of the hairdressing accessory 6 is mounted in pivot connection 17 relative to the body 7, while communicating therewith. The second limb 10 remains fixed with respect to the body 7. This design makes it possible to increase the spacing E between the two ends 12, 13 of the limbs 9, 10, in particular to facilitate the introduction of the hair between these two limbs. 9, 10. In FIG. 7, the two branches 9, 10 are mounted in pivot connection 17, 18 with respect to the body 7, which makes it possible to increase even further the distance E, compared with the embodiment illustrated in Figure 6. A large gap also allows, for example, to position the hair accessory 6 with the two branches 9, 10 open at the contour of the head. The embodiments of Figures 6 and 7 are implemented with branches 9, 10 forming an open circle. These embodiments may also be envisaged with branches 9, 10 forming an open ellipse similar to that illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 8.
On peut envisager d'autres moyens d'ouverture des banches 9, 10 que des liaisons pivots 17, 18, notamment pour augmenter l'écartement E entre les extrémités 12, 13 de ces branches 9, 10. Par exemple, on peut envisager la mise en œuvre de branches 9, 10 télescopiques. Other ways of opening the panels 9, 10 can be envisaged than pivotal connections 17, 18, in particular to increase the spacing E between the ends 12, 13 of these branches 9, 10. For example, it is possible to envisage the implementation of branches 9, 10 telescopic.
On peut prévoir des crans (non illustrés sur les figures) agencés au niveau des liaisons pivots 17, 18 entre les branches 9, 10 et le corps 7, ces crans permettant de définir précisément plusieurs positions d'ouverture des branches 9, 10, voire uniquement de la première branche 9 dans le cas de la figure 6. We can provide notches (not shown in the figures) arranged at the pivot links 17, 18 between the branches 9, 10 and the body 7, these notches making it possible to precisely define several opening positions of the branches 9, 10, or even only of the first branch 9 in the case of FIG. 6.
On peut également prévoir un système d'actionnement entre les branches 9, 10 et le corps 7, voire uniquement entre la première branche 9 et le corps 7 dans le cas de la figure 6. Ce système d'actionnement permet d'ouvrir automatiquement les branches 9, 10 lors de son activation. Par exemple, on peut prévoir des plots qui s'engagent dans les branches 9, 10 ou viennent en butée sur ces branches 9, 10 lorsqu'elles sont en position fermée, avec un écartement E minimal, ces plots étant escamotables au moyen de l'activation d'un bouton de commande ou d'une gâchette. Des ressorts de rappel agencés entre les branches 9, 10 et le corps 7 assurent l'ouverture automatique des branches 9, 10 lors de l'escamotage desdits plots. It is also possible to provide an actuating system between the branches 9, 10 and the body 7, or even only between the first branch 9 and the body 7 in the case of FIG. 6. This actuation system makes it possible to automatically open the branches 9, 10 during its activation. For example, it is possible to provide studs which engage in the branches 9, 10 or abut on these branches 9, 10 when they are in the closed position, with a minimum distance E, these studs being retractable by means of the activation of a command button or trigger. Return springs arranged between the legs 9, 10 and the body 7 ensure the automatic opening of the branches 9, 10 during the retraction of said pads.
D'autres caractéristiques sont envisageables pour l'accessoire de coiffure 6, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. D'autres caractéristiques sont également envisageables sur l'appareil de coiffure 1 . L'appareil de coiffure 1 comprend notamment un détecteur de présence (non illustré) agencé au niveau de la sortie d'air 3. Ce détecteur de présence s'enclenche lors de l'assemblage du corps 7 de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 avec ladite sortie d'air 3. Le détecteur de présence transmet les informations à une carte électronique (non illustrée) de l'appareil de coiffure 1 , agencée dans le corps 2 de cet appareil de coiffure 1 . Lors de l'enclenchement du détecteur de présence, la carte électronique commande l'allumage d'un indicateur lumineux (non illustré) agencé en évidence sur le corps 2 de l'appareil de coiffure 1 pour signaler à l'utilisateur l'assemblage de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 sur l'appareil de coiffure 1 . En outre, cette carte électronique est configurée pour piloter les moyens de chauffe (non illustrés) de l'appareil de coiffure 1 lorsque la présence de l'accessoire de coiffure 6 est détectée, afin de limiter la température de chauffe de l'air soufflé et, ainsi, d'éviter l'endommagement de l'accessoire de coiffure 6. Other features are possible for the hairdressing accessory 6, without departing from the scope of the invention. Other features are also conceivable on the hairdressing appliance 1. The hairstyling apparatus 1 comprises in particular a presence detector (not shown) arranged at the level of the air outlet 3. This presence detector engages during assembly of the body 7 of the hairdressing accessory 6 with said air outlet 3. The presence detector transmits the information to an electronic card (not shown) of the hairdressing appliance 1, arranged in the body 2 of this hairdressing appliance 1. When the presence detector is switched on, the electronic card controls the lighting of a light indicator (not shown) arranged prominently on the body 2 of the hair-styling apparatus 1 to signal to the user the assembly of the hairdressing accessory 6 on the hairdressing appliance 1. In addition, this electronic card is configured to control the heating means (not shown) of the hairdressing appliance 1 when the presence of the hairdressing accessory 6 is detected, in order to limit the heating temperature of the blown air and, thus, to avoid damage to the hairdressing accessory 6.
