Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des appareils électriques de mise en forme des cheveux comprenant un ventilateur à air chaud et un accessoire sous forme d'une brosse à cheveux motorisée ou statique. Un tel accessoire est traversé par un flux d'air généré par le ventilateur à air chaud, avec un manchon creux et des poils de brosse émergeant du manchon. L'invention concerne notamment un accessoire destiné à s'adapter à de tels appareils électriques de mise en forme.The present invention relates to the technical field of electric hair shaping apparatus comprising a hot air fan and an accessory in the form of a motorized or static hair brush. Such an accessory is traversed by a flow of air generated by the hot air fan, with a hollow sleeve and brush bristles emerging from the sleeve. The invention particularly relates to an accessory intended to adapt to such electrical shaping apparatus.

De tels appareils de mise en forme des cheveux permettent de former des ondulations dans les cheveux d'une personne, les cheveux étant humides. Le séchage et la mise en forme des cheveux sont alors assurés par une brosse à cheveux, assistée d'un flux d'air chaud qui transporte la chaleur nécessaire vers les cheveux. Cette brosse peut être entrainée en rotation manuellement par l'utilisateur ou automatiquement par un moteur électrique. Les ondulations sont formées tandis que la brosse est en rotation manuellement ou motorisée, en faisant tourner la brosse dans une mèche de cheveux à mettre en forme. Ladite mèche de cheveux est enroulée à la suite de l'entrainement rotatif des cheveux saisis par les poils et/ou la surface de revêtement de la brosse, consécutif à la rotation de celle-ci.Such hair shaping apparatuses make it possible to form corrugations in the hair of a person, the hair being wet. The drying and shaping of the hair is then ensured by a hair brush, assisted by a flow of hot air that carries the necessary heat to the hair. This brush can be rotated manually by the user or automatically by an electric motor. The corrugations are formed while the brush is rotating manually or motorized, rotating the brush in a lock of hair to be shaped. Said lock of hair is wound following the rotary training of the hair grasped by the bristles and / or the coating surface of the brush, subsequent to the rotation thereof.

On connaît un brevet FR2978333 au nom de la demanderesse qui décrit un appareil électrique de mise en forme des cheveux avec une brosse à cheveux disposée sur une poignée laquelle comporte un dispositif de flux d'air chaud. Ladite brosse à cheveux comprend un manchon creux comprenant un ensemble de touffes de soies et un ensemble d'ouvertures traversantes pour faire passer le flux d'air. Le manchon décrit dans ce brevet présente une forme favorisant la mise en forme des cheveux. Cependant, les cheveux étant saisis par les touffes de soies ne sont chauffés que par l'air chaud évacué par les ouvertures. Il s'avère que cette configuration n'est pas suffisamment efficace pour le séchage et la mise en forme des cheveux à cause de la perte de chaleur.A patent is known FR2978333 in the name of the applicant who describes an electric hair shaping apparatus with a hairbrush disposed on a handle which comprises a hot air flow device. The hairbrush includes a hollow sleeve including a set of bristle tufts and a set of through openings for passing the airflow. The sleeve described in this patent has a shape promoting the shaping of the hair. However, the hair being grasped by the tufts of bristles is only heated by the hot air discharged through the openings. It turns out that this configuration is not efficient enough for drying and shaping the hair due to heat loss.

On connaît un autre document FR2258814 qui décrit une brosse électrique de mise en forme des cheveux avec des rangées de touffes de soies et une pluralité d'éléments chauffants intercalés entre les rangées de touffes de soies. Lesdits éléments chauffants électriquement sont proéminents par rapport au manchon de la brosse, permettant d'assurer un échange thermique entre la brosse et les cheveux. Néanmoins, l'appareil décrit dans ce document ne comprend pas de dispositif de flux d'air chaud. L'échange thermique se fait uniquement par le contact des cheveux avec les éléments chauffants ce qui ne permet pas d'avoir un séchage uniforme et efficace.Another document is known FR2258814 which describes an electric hair shaping brush with rows of bristle tufts and a plurality of heating elements interposed between the rows of tufts of bristles. Said electrically heated elements are prominent with respect to the sleeve of the brush, to ensure a heat exchange between the brush and the hair. Nevertheless, the apparatus described in this document does not include a hot air flow device. The heat exchange is only by the contact of the hair with the heating elements which does not allow to have a uniform and effective drying.

Le document US2012/0174937A1 divulgue un accessoire selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The document US2012 / 0174937A1 discloses an accessory according to the preamble of claim 1.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier aux inconvénients susmentionnés et de proposer un appareil de coiffure électrique à flux d'air ayant une meilleure efficacité de séchage et de mise en forme des cheveux.The object of the invention is to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide an electric airflow hairdressing appliance having a better drying efficiency and shaping hair.

Un autre but de l'invention est un appareil de coiffure électrique à flux d'air avec une puissance des éléments chauffants réduite à efficacité égale.Another object of the invention is an electric air-flow hairdressing appliance with reduced heater power at equal efficiency.

Un autre but de l'invention est un appareil de coiffure électrique à flux d'air pour la mise en forme des cheveux à encombrement réduit.Another object of the invention is an electric airflow hairdresser for shaping hair with reduced space.

Encore un autre but de l'invention est un appareil de coiffure électrique à flux d'air qui est facile d'utilisation et multiusageYet another object of the invention is an electric airflow hairdresser which is easy to use and multipurpose

Ces buts sont atteints avec un accessoire destiné à s'adapter sur un appareil de coiffure électrique à flux d'air selon la revendication 1.These objects are achieved with an accessory adapted to fit on an air-powered electric hairdressing appliance according to claim 1.

On entend par moyen de chauffe un moyen pour diffuser la chaleur par conduction aux cheveux, ledit moyen étant lui-même chauffé par l'air chaud provenant de l'appareil de coiffure. Le moyen de chauffe est donc chauffé de façon passive par convection. Il n'est pas chauffé électriquement, c'est-à-dire par un élément chauffant électrique, du type résistance électrique, en contact avec le moyen de chauffe des cheveux. Du fait que le moyen de chauffe est agencé de façon proéminente depuis la surface extérieure du manchon, il entre plus facilement en contact avec les cheveux pendant l'utilisation ce qui permet de favoriser la transmission thermique et d'augmenter l'efficacité de séchage et de mise en forme des cheveux.Heating means means for diffusing heat by conduction to the hair, said means being itself heated by the hot air from the hairdressing apparatus. The heating means is thus passively heated by convection. It is not heated electrically, that is to say by an electric heating element, of the electric resistance type, in contact with the heating means of the hair. Since the heating means is arranged prominently from the outer surface of the sleeve, it is more easily in contact with the hair during use, which makes it possible to promote heat transmission and to increase the drying efficiency. shaping hair.

Par ailleurs, on entend par «soies» tout type de poils, naturels ou synthétiques, de picots par exemple en plastique ou l'ensemble des deux poils et picots, qui permettent d'accrocher et/ou d'entrainer la mèche de cheveux pendant son traitement par l'accessoire sous forme de brosse. Les soies peuvent être de natures différentes, mais aussi de longueurs différentes, pour s'adapter à tout type de cheveux ou toute longueur de cheveux. Les soies peuvent être groupées par touffes de plusieurs ou être individuelles s'il s'agit de picots par exemple.Moreover, the term "bristles" any type of hair, natural or synthetic, such as plastic pins or all of the two bristles and pins, which allow to hang and / or train the lock of hair during its treatment by the accessory in the form of a brush. The bristles can be of different natures, but also of different lengths, to adapt to any type of hair or any length of hair. The bristles can be grouped by tufts of several or be individual if they are pimples for example.

L'ajout d'un tel moyen de chauffe permet d'améliorer le rendement de la transmission de chaleur aux cheveux afin de pouvoir réduire la puissance de l'élément chauffant et ainsi de réduire le diamètre du manche de la brosse. Ceci permet également de gagner en compacité avec les éléments chauffants moins encombrants dans la brosse.The addition of such a heating means improves the efficiency of the heat transfer to the hair in order to reduce the power of the heating element and thus reduce the diameter of the handle of the brush. This also makes it possible to gain compactness with the less bulky heating elements in the brush.

Lesdites rangées d'ouvertures traversantes sont agencées dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal (L) et au moins une partie dudit moyen de chauffe est destinée à recouvrir au moins une rangée d'ouvertures traversantes. De façon préférée, le moyen de chauffe recouvre entièrement la rangée d'ouvertures traversantes. Chaque rangée d'ouvertures traversantes peut comprendre plusieurs ouvertures traversantes permettant de faire passer le flux d'air, les ouvertures étant à de formes et/ou tailles identiques ou différentes. Il peut également s'agir d'une ouverture longitudinale continue sous forme d'une rainure traversante.Said rows of through openings are arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) and at least a portion of said heating means is intended to cover at least one row of through openings. Preferably, the heating means completely covers the row of through openings. Each row of through openings may comprise a plurality of through openings for passing the air flow, the openings being of identical or different shapes and / or sizes. It may also be a continuous longitudinal opening in the form of a through groove.

De surcroît, ledit moyen de chauffe comprend au moins une barre longitudinale agencée dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal (L) sur la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon. Ladite barre longitudinale étant parallèle aux rangées de touffes de soies permet d'optimiser son contact avec les cheveux.In addition, said heating means comprises at least one longitudinal bar arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) on the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve. Said longitudinal bar being parallel to the rows of bristle tufts makes it possible to optimize its contact with the hair.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, ladite au moins une barre longitudinale comprend un moyen de fixation réversible permettant de rendre ladite barre longitudinale détachable dudit manchon.According to a first embodiment of the invention, said at least one longitudinal bar comprises a reversible fixing means making it possible to make said longitudinal bar detachable from said sleeve.

Selon le premier mode de réalisation, le moyen de chauffe comprend au moins deux barres longitudinales, chacune étant destinée à recouvrir une rangée d'ouvertures traversantes. Ainsi, les barres longitudinales sont directement en contact avec le flux d'air chaud provenant de l'intérieur du manchon ce qui permet de créer une convection en plus de la conduction de chaleur.According to the first embodiment, the heating means comprises at least two longitudinal bars, each being intended to cover a row of through openings. Thus, the longitudinal bars are directly in contact with the flow of hot air coming from the inside of the sleeve which makes it possible to create a convection in addition to the conduction of heat.

Avantageusement, une barre longitudinale est agencée de part et d'autre de chaque rangée d'ouvertures traversantes. Ainsi ces rangées de sorties d'air et les barres longitudinales sont agencées de façon alternative pour mieux combiner de façon équilibrée les deux moyens de chauffage des cheveux à savoir chauffage par souffle d'air et chauffage par conduction thermique.Advantageously, a longitudinal bar is arranged on either side of each row of through openings. Thus, these rows of air outlets and the longitudinal bars are alternately arranged to better combine in a balanced way the two means of heating the hair namely heating by air blast and heating by thermal conduction.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, le moyen de chauffe comprend un cylindre creux agencé sur la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon, ledit cylindre creux comportant au moins une barre longitudinale. Le cylindre creux sera donc directement au contact des cheveux. Une telle configuration permet de rendre le moyen de chauffe monobloc ce qui facilite la mise en place de celui-ci.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the heating means comprises a hollow cylinder arranged on the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve, said hollow cylinder comprising at least one longitudinal bar. The hollow cylinder will therefore be in direct contact with the hair. Such a configuration makes it possible to make the monobloc heating means which facilitates the installation of the latter.

Avantageusement, ledit cylindre creux présente des zones de passage de flux d'air parallèles à et intercalées à distance avec lesdites barres longitudinales. De plus, lesdites zones présentent des trous traversants à section identique et en regard des rangées d'ouvertures traversantes pour faire passer le flux d'air. Ces zones de passage permettent de solidifier le cylindre creux sans pour autant gêner la circulation de flux d'air.Advantageously, said hollow cylinder has airflow passage zones parallel to and spaced apart with said longitudinal bars. In addition, said zones have through holes of identical section and opposite rows of through openings to pass the air flow. These passage zones make it possible to solidify the hollow cylinder without impeding the flow of air flow.

De surcroît, l'accessoire comprend un bouchon destiné à maintenir le cylindre creux sur la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon. Ainsi, il ne nécessite aucun moyen de fixation sur le cylindre creux ce qui facilite la fabrication de celui-ci.In addition, the accessory comprises a plug for holding the hollow cylinder on the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve. Thus, it does not require any fixing means on the hollow cylinder which facilitates the manufacture thereof.

Selon les deux modes de réalisation, ladite barre longitudinale est en métal, de préférence en aluminium. Ceci permet d'augmenter l'efficacité de transmission thermique aux cheveux.According to the two embodiments, said longitudinal bar is made of metal, preferably aluminum. This makes it possible to increase the efficiency of thermal transmission to the hair.

Avantageusement, ladite barre longitudinale présente, en section selon un plan orthogonal audit axe longitudinal (L), une extrémité supérieure constituant un arc de cercle. L'extrémité supérieure correspond au coté opposé à la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon. Cette extrémité de la barre longitudinale étant au contact des cheveux pendant l'utilisation de l'appareil, présente une plus grande surface de contact grâce à sa forme arrondie ce qui favorise la transmission de chaleur aux cheveux.Advantageously, said longitudinal bar has, in section along a plane orthogonal to said longitudinal axis (L), an upper end constituting an arc of a circle. The upper end corresponds to the opposite side to the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve. This end of the longitudinal bar being in contact with the hair during use of the device, has a greater contact area due to its rounded shape which promotes the transmission of heat to the hair.

De surcroît, ladite barre longitudinale présente, en section selon son plan longitudinal de symétrie, une extrémité supérieure constituant une ondulation régulière ou un peigne. Le plan longitudinal de symétrie correspond à un plan de symétrie de la barre longitudinale auquel appartient l'axe longitudinal (L). L'extrémité supérieure en ondulation régulière ou en peigne permet de répartir les cheveux de façon homogène et ainsi d'optimiser leur séchage et mise en forme.In addition, said longitudinal bar has, in section along its longitudinal plane of symmetry, an upper end constituting a regular undulation or a comb. The longitudinal plane of symmetry corresponds to a plane of symmetry of the longitudinal bar to which the longitudinal axis (L) belongs. The upper end in regular waving or combing allows to distribute the hair homogeneously and thus optimize their drying and shaping.

Tel que visible à la figure 1, l'accessoire 1 de coiffure présente une base 14 tubulaire cylindrique se prolongeant vers l'avant par une partie active destinée à entrer en contact avec les cheveux. Selon l'invention et comme illustré en figure 1, dans le cas où la brosse électrique soufflante peut être additionnellement entraînée en rotation grâce à un moteur, la brosse à cheveux électrique 100 peut comporter un deuxième moteur électrique d'entrainement de l'accessoire 1. La construction de l'appareil 2 ainsi que l'entrainement de l'accessoire 1 sont notamment connus du document FR2978333 . Ces éléments font partie des connaissances générales de l'homme du métier et ne nécessitent pas une plus ample description.As visible at figure 1 , the hairdressing accessory 1 has a cylindrical tubular base 14 extending forwardly by an active part intended to come into contact with the hair. According to the invention and as illustrated in figure 1 , in the case where the electric blower can be additionally rotated by a motor, the electric hair brush 100 may comprise a second electric drive motor of the accessory 1. The construction of the apparatus 2 as well as the training of the accessory 1 are notably known from the document FR2978333 . These elements are part of the general knowledge of those skilled in the art and do not require further description.

Les figures 2 à 5 représentent l'accessoire 1 selon l'invention. Il comprend un manchon 10 définissant un corps creux présentant un axe longitudinal (L) capable de se monter sur l'appareil de coiffure 100. Le manchon présente une surface extérieure Sext tubulaire cylindrique munie de plusieurs rangées de touffes de soies 11 et d'orifices ou ouvertures traversantes 12, 12' aptes à faire passer le flux d'air. Plus précisément, les rangées de touffes de soies 11 et les rangées d'ouvertures traversantes 12, 12' sont agencées dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal (L), toutes les deux rangées de touffes de soies 11 étant espacées par une rangée d'ouvertures traversantes 12, 12'.The Figures 2 to 5 represent the accessory 1 according to the invention. It comprises a sleeve 10 defining a hollow body having a longitudinal axis (L) capable of being mounted on the hairstyling apparatus 100. The sleeve has a cylindrical tubular Sext outer surface provided with several rows of tufts of bristles 11 and orifices or through openings 12, 12 'able to pass the flow of air. More specifically, the rows of tufts of bristles 11 and the rows of through-openings 12, 12 'are arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L), each two rows of tufts of bristles 11 being spaced apart by a row of bristles. through openings 12, 12 '.

Afin d'améliorer l'efficacité de séchage et de mise en forme de la brosse, et conformément à deux modes de réalisation de l'invention, l'accessoire 1 comprend un moyen de chauffe 4 des cheveux par conduction, ledit moyen de chauffe 4 étant agencé de façon proéminente depuis la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10.In order to improve the drying and shaping efficiency of the brush, and according to two embodiments of the invention, the accessory 1 comprises a means 4 for heating the hair by conduction, said heating means 4 being arranged prominently from the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention tel qu'illustré aux figures 2 et 3, le moyen de chauffe 4 comprend une pluralité de barres longitudinales 41 parallèles entre elles et agencées dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal (L) sur la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10. Pour ce faire, le manchon 10 présente une première série de rangées d'ouvertures traversantes 12, chaque rangée étant composée d'ouvertures rondes à tailles différentes permettant de faire passer le flux d'air et une deuxième série de rangées d'ouvertures traversantes 12', chaque rangée étant une rainure traversante 12' destinée à recevoir la barre longitudinale 41. La première série et la deuxième série de rangée d'ouvertures traversantes sont agencées de façon alternative. Ainsi chaque barre longitudinale 41, une fois mise en place dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal (L) sur le manchon, recouvre une rangée d'ouvertures traversantes 12'. Le souffle d'air chaud est retenu une fois sur deux lorsque toutes les barres longitudinales sont mises en place.According to a first embodiment of the invention as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 2 and 3 , the heating means 4 comprises a plurality of longitudinal bars 41 parallel to each other and arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) on the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10. To this end, the sleeve 10 presents a first series of rows of through openings 12, each row being composed of round openings of different sizes to pass the air flow and a second series of rows of through openings 12 ', each row being a through groove 12' for receiving the longitudinal bar 41. The first series and the second row series of through openings are arranged alternately. Thus each longitudinal bar 41, once installed in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) on the sleeve, covers a row of through openings 12 '. The blast of hot air is retained every other time when all the longitudinal bars are put in place.

Par ailleurs, les barres longitudinales 41 présentent une épaisseur proéminente depuis la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10 ce qui permet de favoriser le contact avec les cheveux ainsi que la transmission de chaleur. Tel que visible à la figure 4, chaque barre longitudinale présente une extrémité supérieure qui correspond au coté opposé à la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10, la section selon un plan orthogonal audit axe longitudinal (L) de ladite extrémité supérieure constituant un arc de cercle.Furthermore, the longitudinal bars 41 have a prominent thickness from the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10 which promotes contact with the hair and the heat transfer. As visible at figure 4 , each longitudinal bar has an upper end which corresponds to the opposite side to the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10, the section along a plane orthogonal to said longitudinal axis (L) of said upper end constituting an arc.

De façon alternative, les barres longitudinales sont amovibles pour une utilisation sur plusieurs diamètres de brosses différents et pour la fixation de la coiffure en position air froid pour éviter d'avoir à attendre leur refroidissement. Pour ce faire, les barres longitudinales 41 comprennent chacune un moyen de fixation 410 réversible, par exemple un clipsage.Alternatively, the longitudinal bars are removable for use on several diameters of different brushes and for fixing the hairstyle in cold air position to avoid having to wait for their cooling. To do this, the longitudinal bars 41 each comprise a reversible fixing means 410, for example clipping.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention tel qu'illustré aux figures 5 à 7, le moyen de chauffe 4 comprend un cylindre creux 40 apte à se monter sur la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10. Ledit cylindre creux 40 comporte une pluralité de barres longitudinales 41 analogues à celles du premier mode de réalisation. Elles sont rangées dans le sens de l'axe longitudinal (L) et présentent une épaisseur proéminente depuis la surface extérieure (Sext). Le cylindre creux présente en outre des zones 42 de passage de flux d'air parallèles aux barres longitudinales 41 et agencées de façon alternative avec ces dernières. Lesdites zones 42 sont destinées à se mettre par-dessus une rangée d'ouvertures traversantes afin de laisser passer le flux d'air. De ce fait, et selon l'exemple illustré, le manchon 10 est muni de rangées identiques d'ouvertures traversantes 12 à trous, tandis que les zones 42 présentent des trous traversants 420 à section identique et en regard des ouvertures traversantes 12.According to a second embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figures 5 to 7 , the heating means 4 comprises a hollow cylinder 40 adapted to be mounted on the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10. Said hollow cylinder 40 comprises a plurality of longitudinal bars 41 similar to those of the first embodiment. They are arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) and have a prominent thickness from the outer surface (Sext). The hollow cylinder also has air flow passage zones 42 parallel to longitudinal bars 41 and arranged alternatively therewith. Said zones 42 are intended to be placed over a row of through openings in order to let the air flow through. As a result, and according to the illustrated example, the sleeve 10 is provided with identical rows of through openings 12 with holes, whereas the zones 42 present through holes 420 of identical section and opposite the through openings 12.

Ainsi, les barres longitudinales 41 et les zones 42 de passage de flux d'air faisant partie du cylindre creux 40 qui est monobloc, se montent simultanément sur la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10. Comme illustré à la figure 5, le cylindre creux présente entre chaque barre longitudinale 41 et zone 42 de passage une fente 44 permettant de laisser passer les touffes de soies 11 lorsque le cylindre creux 40 coulisse sur le manchon 10. Une fois mis en place, le cylindre creux 40 est maintenu en place grâce à un bouchon 43 qui est lui-même relié au manchon par vissage ou clipsage. Tout comme dans le premier mode de réalisation, le souffle d'air chaud est retenu une fois sur deux lorsque le cylindre creux 40 est monté sur le manchon 10.Thus, the longitudinal bars 41 and the airflow passage zones 42 forming part of the hollow cylinder 40 which is integral, are mounted simultaneously on the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10. As illustrated in FIG. figure 5 , the hollow cylinder has between each longitudinal bar 41 and passage zone 42 a slot 44 for passing the tufts of bristles 11 when the hollow cylinder 40 slides on the sleeve 10. Once in place, the hollow cylinder 40 is maintained in place thanks to a plug 43 which is itself connected to the sleeve by screwing or clipping. As in the first embodiment, the hot air blast is retained once in two when the hollow cylinder 40 is mounted on the sleeve 10.

Tel qu'illustré à la figure 7, chaque barre longitudinale présente une extrémité supérieure qui correspond au coté opposé à la surface extérieure (Sext) du manchon 10, la section selon un plan orthogonal audit axe longitudinal (L) de la dite extrémité supérieure constituant un arc de cercle. Ainsi, chaque barre longitudinale présente une épaisseur proéminente depuis la surface extérieure (Sext) pour favoriser le contact avec les cheveux. La barre longitudinale peut également être creuse en dessous de ladite extrémité supérieure ce qui permet de créer un espacement afin de recevoir davantage d'air chaud et d'augmenter l'efficacité de chauffage.As illustrated in figure 7 , each longitudinal bar has an upper end which corresponds to the opposite side to the outer surface (Sext) of the sleeve 10, the section in a plane orthogonal to said longitudinal axis (L) of said upper end constituting an arc. Thus, each longitudinal bar has a prominent thickness from the outer surface (Sext) to promote contact with the hair. The longitudinal bar may also be hollow below said upper end thereby creating spacing to receive more hot air and increase heating efficiency.

Selon les deux modes de réalisations décrits ci-dessus, plusieurs variantes concernant les barres longitudinales 41 sont possibles : elles peuvent présenter une surface de contact ondulée, à ligne sinusoïdale ou à ligne sinusoïdale redressée; elles peuvent également prendre la forme d'un peigne. Des vues en coupe selon le plan longitudinal de symétrie de la barre longitudinale qui correspondent à ces variantes sont montrées aux figures 8a, 8b et 9. Ces formes permettent d'augmenter la surface d'échange avec les mèches de cheveux donc d'améliorer la transmission de chaleur. De plus, Les barres longitudinales 41 sont en métal, de préférence en aluminium pour sa performance de conduction thermique.According to the two embodiments described above, several variants concerning the longitudinal bars 41 are possible: they may have a corrugated contact surface with sinusoidal line or rectified sinusoidal line; they can also take the form of a comb. Cross-sectional views along the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the longitudinal bar which correspond to these variants are shown in FIGS. Figures 8a, 8b and 9 . These forms make it possible to increase the exchange surface with the locks of hair, thus improving the heat transfer. In addition, the longitudinal bars 41 are made of metal, preferably aluminum for its thermal conduction performance.

Selon une alternative non illustrée des deux modes de réalisation, les barres longitudinales sont agencées directement sur le manchon. Les zones qui sont recouvertes de barres longitudinales ne présentent aucune ouverture transversale.According to a non-illustrated alternative of the two embodiments, the longitudinal bars are arranged directly on the sleeve. Areas that are covered with longitudinal bars have no transverse openings.

En fonctionnement, quand la brosse est mise en route, l'air vient peu à peu chauffer les barres aluminium, qui arrivent à température de l'air en sortie de la brosse, autour de 90°C. Ces barres sont chauffées par le flux d'air chaud sorti du mandrin et venant «lécher» les barres. Elles peuvent être additionnellement chauffées par l'air passant au travers des orifices traversants le mandrin et recouverts par les barres. ces barres apportent ensuite la chaleur aux cheveux qui viennent à son contact, pour leur séchage et pour leur mise en forme.In operation, when the brush is switched on, the air gradually warms the aluminum bars, which come to air temperature at the outlet of the brush, around 90 ° C. These bars are heated by the hot air flow out of the mandrel and coming to "lick" the bars. They can be additionally heated by the air passing through the holes through the mandrel and covered by the bars. these bars then bring warmth to the hair that comes into contact with it, for drying and for shaping.

Bien entendu, diverses autres modifications peuvent être apportées à l'invention dans le cadre des revendications annexées.Of course, various other modifications may be made to the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
