Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of hairdressing appliances for curling hair, and particularly to such hairdressing appliances equipped with a steam production system which comprises a liquid reservoir, a wick impregnated with the liquid and a heating element on which comes into contact said wick.
  • such a hairdressing appliance comprises a mandrel and a tile, these elements being articulated to form a clamp so as to allow the pinch of a lock of hair to wrap around the mandrel and thus loop it.
  • such an apparatus comprises a tank mounted at the end of the loopback apparatus which is separated from a heating element by the wick.
  • the wick and the reservoir are movably mounted relative to the heating element to allow the user to choose whether or not he wishes to produce steam during use of the apparatus.
  • the user wishes to produce steam, he exerts a pressure on the tank which has the effect to move the latter and the wick towards the heating element.
  • the wick is then in contact with the heating element, which has the effect of vaporizing the liquid it contains at its end and therefore produce steam which is then rejected on the hair.
  • Such devices generally give satisfaction to their users but nevertheless have certain disadvantages, particularly in terms of their durability and reliability. Indeed, as the movements of the wick, when the user presses on the tank, the wick comes into contact with the heating element. During this contact, the end of the latter, under the effect of the effort exerted by the user, but also heat, will settle, that is to say, locally deform. Specifically, the overall length of the wick will decrease while its diameter will locally increase. As a result, as and when used, less contact between the wick and the heating element and therefore less good production of steam. The effectiveness of the loopback device is then reduced, so much so that steam production can even become impossible if the wick is too packed, too damaged and no longer comes into contact with the heating element. As a result, there is a lack of reliability and limited durability of the hairdressing apparatus.

  • the spring 18 extends between the proximal ends and distal 16, 20 of the wick 13, that is to say it extends over the entire length of the wick 13, thus achieving a perfect guide and maintenance of the latter.
  • the elastic guide device in this case the spring 18, is in contact with the periphery of the wick 13 over its entire length.
  • the rest length of the spring is substantially equal to 30 mm, this length corresponding to the preferred length of the wick 13.
  • the wick 13 is of circular section and the inner diameter of the spring 18, which corresponds substantially to the diameter of the wick 13, is substantially equal to 5 mm.
  • the spring 18 which surrounds the wick 13 the latter is constrained in a volume whose section is fixed, preventing it from settling and / or deforming, in the radial direction, that is to say say in the direction perpendicular to the X axis.
  • this volume in which the wick 13 is maintained is elastically deformable in the axial direction, that is to say in the direction of the X axis.
  • this arrangement allows to contain (c ') that is to say to constrain) the wick 13 in a volume stable in diameter, said diameter being substantially equal to 5 mm, and whatever the position (passive position or active position) and the state (wet or dry) ) of the wick 13.
  • the diameter of the wick 13 remains constant throughout its length.
  • the dimensional characteristics of the wick 13 remain constant over time, even after many uses, which makes it possible not to disturb the proper functioning of the apparatus, whether in the production of steam by the spray plate or at the level of the locking system which will be detailed later.
  • the wick 13 is mounted tightly within the spring 18, and is therefore immobilized inside the spring 18.
  • the dismantling of the apparatus according to the subassemblies illustrated in FIG. figure 3 is facilitated and the maintenance of the apparatus, and in particular the cleaning of the wick 13, is facilitated, as will be detailed later.
  • said spring 18 comprises a stop 181 adapted to come into contact with the distal end 20 of the wick 13.
  • said stop 181 is constituted by a turn of the spring 18 which is folded so as to form a radius of the spring 18
  • the stop 181 opposes the displacement of the wick 13 located inside the spring 18 so as to block a degree of freedom in an axial translation of said wick 13, and in particular in a direction 32.
  • the wick 13 is prevented by said abutment 181 from penetrating into the reservoir when the wick 13 bears on the spraying plate 17.
  • the spring 18 and the wick 13 are both intended to be mounted inside the wick holder 14 and in particular inside its inner bore 141 along the axis X, for example according to the principle of a slide connection or a sliding pivot connection.
  • the length of the wick holder 14, or more precisely the length of its inner bore 141 in which the spring 18 is located is designed so that the spring is constrained (that is, that is compressed) by a few millimeters, preferably between 2 mm and 5 mm, when the hairdressing appliance 1 is in the active position. Therefore, and as previously mentioned, the wick 13 is also constrained. In other words, the wick 13 and the spring 18 are both compressed by a few millimeters in the active position of the hairdressing appliance 1, which makes it possible to optimize the contact between the proximal end 16 of the wick 13 and the spray plate 17 and by consequently to improve the production of steam.
  • the wick and the spring are relaxed (at their rest position).
  • the spring 18 and the wick 13 are caused to move in an X-axis translation inside the inner bore 141 of the wick carrier 14.
  • This compression of the wick 13 allows a remarkable manner to confer on the hairstyling apparatus 1 a pumping effect when it is moved into the active position, making it possible to drive off any air present in the wick holder 14, and consequently to improve the efficiency of the hairstyling apparatus 1.
  • Such an assembly namely the wick 13 arranged inside the spring 18, itself arranged inside the wick holder 14 ensures excellent guidance and maintenance of the wick 13 and the reservoir 10 during the axial displacement (when the user exerts pressure on the tank 10 to obtain steam), while allowing an air vent tank 10.
  • the wick 13 is not in depression, in other words, it is essential to ensure a vent tank 10 so that the pressure does not fall not inside the latter as it empties its liquid.
  • the assembly proposed by the invention and in particular the presence of the spring 18 between the wick 13 and the wick holder 14 allows the air to circulate the along the turns of the spring 18 and consequently to flow between the wick 13 and the wick holder 14 to the inside of the reservoir, thus allowing the good transfer of the liquid with the aid of the wick 13.
  • the internal bore 141 of the wick holder 14 comprises a channel 142 for conveying air to the reservoir, the latter being advantageously formed by one or more circumferential grooves in said inner bore 141 along the X axis, as can be seen on the figure 8 .
  • the assembly formed by reservoir 10, the wick holder 14, the wick 13 and the spring 18 is removable from the distal end 15 of the mandrel, which allows access to the opening 11 on said reservoir 10, to perform its filling in liquid.
  • the proximal end 12 of the reservoir 10 is removably assembled, in particular by snapping, with the bottom 19 of the wick holder 14.
  • the user can easily dismount the hairdressing appliance 1 according to the subsets visible to Figures 2 and 3 . More precisely, the user can first extract the subset of the figure 2 constituted by the reservoir 10, the wick holder 14, the wick 13 and the spring 18. Then in a second step, the user can remove the wick holder 14 and the elements that it contains (wick 13 and spring 18) of the tank 10 to access the opening 11 to easily fill the tank 10.
  • the operations of handling and maintenance of the wick 13, and in particular its descaling, for example, according to a practice well known as such consisting in plunging the latter in vinegar, are greatly facilitated by the invention, in the extent to which the wick 13 is wrapped by a radially rigid body, in this case the spring 18. More specifically, the user can firmly grasp the spring subassembly 18 and wick 13 between his fingers without fear of damaging the wick 13 since the latter is protected by the spring 18.
  • the rigidity of said subset is increased which greatly facilitates disassembly operations and especially reassembly of said subassembly in the inner bore 141 of the wick holder 14.
  • a locking / unlocking system 22 is arranged on the hairdressing apparatus 1 to hold the reservoir 10, the wick holder 14 and the wick 13 in the aforementioned active position. As illustrated on Figures 1 to 5 , this locking / unlocking system 22 is implemented between the contour wall 23 of the reservoir 10 and the distal end 24 of the tile 4.
  • the contour wall 23 comprises a groove 25 opening on its proximal end 26, such that illustrated in figure 4 .
  • This groove 25 receives a U-shaped elastic piece 27, said elastic piece 27 having a constriction 28, as illustrated by FIG. figure 4 .
  • This elastic piece 27 constitutes a first locking element.
  • a stud 29 extends on the side of the inner face of the tile 4, at its distal end 24.
  • the stud 29 constitutes a second locking element configured to be housed in the elastic piece 27.
  • the spring 18 allows the wick 13 to compress along the X axis but without deforming radially, which allows to remarkably improve the operation of the locking / unlocking system. Indeed, given the axial displacement of the spring 18 and the wick 13, the latter, once they are in contact with the vaporizer plate 17 will be able to move and / or compress axially, even if the movement of the reservoir 10 continues slightly along the X axis. Thus, there can be no blocking effect linked to a wick which would possibly be too long compared to the stroke of the tank 10. Therefore, the manipulation of the hairstyling device 1, especially at the time of its blocking in the active position is facilitated for the user.
  • the stud 29 is positioned in the groove 25 outside the resilient piece 27.
  • said elastic piece 27 is engaged on the stud 29 in a direction parallel to the X axis until the narrowing 28 exceeds said stud 29, thus allowing the snap-fastening of the elastic piece 27 on the stud 29 or vice versa, which ensures the maintenance of the reservoir 10 in this active position and, consequently maintaining the wick 13 impregnated with liquid against the spray plate 17.
  • the apparatus therefore produces steam and remains automatically, that is to say without action of the user, in this position.
  • return means 31 such as a spring are arranged between the spray plate 17 and the wick holder 14, this spring for exerting a force on the wick holder 14, in the direction of an arrow representing the direction 32 corresponding to the transition from the active position to the passive position.
  • return means of the locking / unlocking system are independent and distinct from the spring 18.
  • the snap of the stud 29 in the elastic piece 27 ensures the holding in position of the tank 10 vis-à-vis the tile 4, despite the force exerted by said spring 31.
  • the stud 29 is disengaged from the elastic piece 27 in a movement substantially perpendicular to the axis X, which allows the spring 31 to push back the bit holder 14 and the tank 10 (and the wick 13) in the passive position, stopping the production of steam.
  • this when the user lifts the tile 4 to extract the lock of hair, this has the immediate effect of automatically passing the wick 13 in the passive position, and therefore stop the production of steam.
