• the proximal ring 7 has a spacing 81 vis-à-vis the base 19 of the portion proximal 5 of the drum 4 and the rings 7-13 have spacings 82-87 between them.
• the actuating device as described above thus makes it possible to deploy successively, in a telescopic manner, the rings 7-13 until they reveal between them the spacings 81 -87 which allow the insertion of locks of hair.
• the hairstyling device 1 is configured so that the trigger 54 automatically returns to the position illustrated in FIG. 2 when the user releases this trigger 54, after having positioned the hair in the spacings 81 - 87.
• means of recall provide an automatic translation of the transmission part 47, once the trigger 54 released.
• these return means consist of two springs (not shown in the figures) which are respectively arranged on the two arms 48, 49. These two springs can be arranged in the part of the arms 48, 49 located between the wheel 17 the connecting piece 16 and the spider 52; in this case the springs work in extension.
• the stiffness constant of the springs will be dimensioned to ensure this automatic return of the trigger 54. However, a lower stiffness constant could be provided by previously actuating the trigger 54 manually to bring it back to the position illustrated in FIG. 2, the springs then pushing concomitantly the transmission piece 47 rearwardly by keeping it pressed against the ring or the sliding ring 59. When the transmission piece 47 translates towards the rear of the hairstyling apparatus 1, along the longitudinal axis X , this latter concomitantly causes the translation of the distal ring 13 and the distal portion 6 of the drum 4 which slide relative to the proximal portion 5 of the drum 4.
• the hair disposed in the distal distance 87 located between the shoulder 13c of the distal ring 13 and the circular base 12d of the intermediate ring 12, are then compressed until a compression limit is reached. This compression limit then causes the concomitant displacement of the distal ring 13 and the intermediate ring 12 above.
• the hair disposed in the last intermediate distance 86 is in turn compressed until a compression limit is reached causing the concomitant movement of the distal ring 13 and the two last intermediate rings 12-1 1.
• the action is repeated as follows until the proximal ring 7 translates concomitantly with the distal ring 13 and all the intermediate rings 8-12.
• the hairstyling apparatus 1 comprises a locking piece 88 appearing in FIGS. 1 to 8.
• This locking piece 88 comprises an end axis 89 which is divided into two branches 90, 91 which extend parallel to the axis longitudinal X, at the ends of which are respectively arranged two fingers 92, 93.
• a reinforcing bar 94 stiffens the two branches 90, 91.
• the end axis 89 is subject to a control button 95 which is mounted pivotally connected along the longitudinal axis X, vis-à-vis the closure cap 43. The control button 95 allows to actuate the rotation of the locking piece 88 along the longitudinal axis X, of an unlocked position in which the fingers 92, 93 are disengaged with respect to the first intermediate rod 63, as illustrated in FIGS.
• the ends 63a, 63b of the first intermediate rod 63 come into contact with the inner face of the circular base 7d of the proximal ring 7, the latter is then also driven in translation along the longitudinal axis X, with the other rings 8 -13 contiguous, until the lights 69, 70 on the inner cylinder 7a abut against the proximal shaft 62. Only appear then the proximal spacing 81 and the first intermediate spacing 82, in which can be placed hair .
• the release of the trigger 54 allows the concomitant translation backwards, under the action of the springs, the distal ring 13 and the intermediate rings 8-12, which first tightens the first intermediate spacing 82 until that the proximal ring 7 also translates, the proximal gap 81 then tightening in turn.
• the rings 8-13 in contiguous position form a roller around which can be wound the hair which is held at their ends, at the tips, for the realization of a looping.
• An alternative embodiment could be envisaged according to which all the rings 7-13 would move together and concomitantly to reveal only the proximal spacing 81 when the trigger 54 is activated. In this case, it would be advisable to add an element abutment (not illustrated) complementary subject to the proximal ring 7, which would come into contact with the fingers 92, 93 of the locking piece 88.
• the hairdressing apparatus includes a sleeve 96 which is configured to be positioned around the mandrel 3 when the rings 7-13 are disposed contiguously.
• the sleeve 96 comprises bristles (not shown in Figure 9 for a better reading thereof) which are distributed radially and uniformly on the sleeve at holes 97 which allow the assembly of these bristles on the sleeve 96.
• sleeve 96 comprises two semi-cylindrical portions 98, 99 which are mounted in pivot connection 100 relative to one another along a longitudinal axis X1 parallel to the longitudinal axis X at their first edges 98a, 99a; which makes it possible to open the sleeve 96 to position it around the mandrel 3 and then to close the sleeve to tighten it around the mandrel 3.
• the second edges 98b, 99b of the two parts 98, 99 are held together in closed position, by means of two clips 101, 102, illustrated in Figure 9.
• This sleeve 96 allows to use the hairstyling device 1 for brushing hair.
• the aforementioned characteristics of the hairdressing appliance 1 offer several possible uses.
• a smoothing is performed.
• a loop is made.
• the sleeve 96 around the mandrel 3 the hair is brushed.
• heating means that is to say the heating elements 31, 32 which provide thermal conduction through the drum 4 and the rings 7-13 and , in addition or independently, the fan 36 and the second heating element 39 which allow the blowing of hot air through the base 3a and the head 3b of the mandrel 3, along the outer surface of said mandrel 3.
• the hairdressing appliance 1 comprises other characteristics such as a control system of the heating means for adjusting the heating temperature of the heating elements 31, 32, 39 and for adjusting the speed of the fan 36.
• the device for actuating rings 7-13 while retaining a tightening of these rings 7-13 independently of one another and a constant pressure between them.
• the trigger 54 and the connecting rods 56, 57 may be replaced by another system for actuating the transmission part 47.
• the transmission system that is to say the transmission part 47, can also be modified.
• the connecting piece 16 the rods 62-68, the shape of the rings 7-13, the return means (not shown) and the drum 4 consisting of the two proximal portions 5 and 6 distal, while achieving a similar telescopic mounting rings 7-13 which allows to separate the rings 7-13 between them, then to tighten independently said rings 7-13 while maintaining a constant pressure despite variations in hair thicknesses in the spacings 81 -87.
• the embodiment described above has the advantage of limiting the bulk of the chamber 41 of the drum 4, which contributes advantageously to arrange the heating elements 31, 32 directly in said chamber 41 and in direct contact with the inner wall 30 of the drum 4, which provides the aforementioned advantages. It will therefore be preferred embodiments of the hairdressing apparatus 1 which also allow an arrangement of heating means directly in the mandrel 3 and in contact with its inner wall.
