Definitions

• the present disclosure relates to a universal attachment device for accessories on hairdressing instruments having different diameters and / or conicities.
• the concept of "hairstyle" must be understood here in the broad sense of capilliculture and should not be limited to instruments blowing air, hair dryer type.
• the invention can be adapted to all instruments and hairdressing devices used for shaping and treating hair. BACKGROUND
• Hairdryer tip hairstyle accessories are often associated with a single model of hair dryer and can not be reused by the user in case of a change of model of hair dryer.
• a device for attaching the same hair accessory to different hair dryers has already been developed and has been in the public domain for many years.
• a spring is placed mid-length on the outside of these flexible strips to exert a complementary pressure when fitting on the mouth of the hair dryer.
• the device will be called universal fastener and will be described in its version adapted to hairdryers.
• the universal fixing device is in the form of an extended ring of flexible strips forming a cone and having no stop system at their end.
• the ring has a fastening system to the hairdressing accessory, diffuser or tip.
• This fixing system can be by screwing, clipping or any other means, fixed or removable.
• the inner diameter of the ring is chosen to fit the body of the largest hair dryer panel.
• the inner diameter formed by the end of the slats is chosen to fit the smaller end of the hair dryer panel.
• the slats by their flexibility adapt to the taper of the hair dryer.
• the universal fastening device is in contact on all of its inner surface with the body of the hair dryer ensuring optimum support.
• the present invention allows the universal fixing device to adapt to a hair dryer panel extended to 90% of the market, a panel four times larger than that covered by existing devices.
• these slats are surrounded by one or more elastic circular elements exerting a pressure during the depression of the device on the hair dryer.
• friction elements are attached along the inside of the slats to exert friction at several points, not just at their ends.
• the friction zones are integrated into the slats by any existing technique, such as paint, grain or texture of the slat made in the injection mold, injection of double material, etc.
• Figure 1A is a bottom view of the universal fastener without friction elements according to a first embodiment.
• Figure 1B is a side view of the universal fastener without friction elements according to a first embodiment.
• Figure 1C is a sectional view of the universal fastener without friction elements according to a first embodiment.
• Figure 2 is a bottom view of the universal fastener with friction elements and windows according to a second embodiment.
• Figure 3 is a bottom view of the universal fastening device according to a third embodiment.
• Figure 4 is a side view of the universal fastening device with elastic circular elements according to a fourth embodiment.
• Figure 5 is a side view of a hair dryer S01 provided with the universal fastening device according to the fourth embodiment placed upstream of the air outlet 516.
• Figure 6 is a side view of a hair dryer S02 of conicity different from the hair dryer S01 provided with the universal fastener according to the fourth embodiment, placed at the air outlet 616.
• Figure 7 is a side view of a hairdressing accessory attached to the universal fastener.
• Maintaining the device on the hairdressing instrument is done by simple friction.
• FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C are views of the universal fixing device according to a first embodiment.
• the universal fixing device is in the form of a ring 1 10 extended flexible strips 1 1 1, separated at their end 1 12 and ending without stop.
• the removal of the abutment at the end of the slats makes it possible to drive the universal fastening device as deeply as necessary so that the ring 1 10 reaches the abutment on the body of the hair dryer and that the flexible slats conform as much as possible to different diameters and / or conicities.
• the ring 1 10 also participates in locking the universal fastening device on the body of the hair dryer.
• the ring 1 10 has a junction or coupling portion 1 13 configured to be attached to the tip type hairdressing accessory.
• the slats are made of a flexible material, with an accentuated taper and exert a pressure on the body of the hairdressing instrument without the aid of external elastic circular elements.
• Figure 2 is a bottom view according to a second embodiment.
• the universal fastening device comprises friction elements fixed on the inside of the slats and along them to improve the holding of the device on the hair dryer.
• the friction elements may be gums.
• Windows 214 allow the installation from the outside of internal friction elements 215.
• Figure 3 is a bottom view of the universal fastening device according to a third embodiment.
• the friction zones can be integrated into the slats by any technique such as paint, a grain produced in the injection mold, etc.
• Figure 4 is a side view of the universal fastening device according to a fourth embodiment with elastic circular elements.
• One or more elastic circular elements 415 enclose the outside of the slats at the end and at the base of the device in order to reinforce the pressure exerted by the device on the body of the hairdressing instrument.
• These circular elastic elements may be springs, gums or any other element that can exert a restoring force.
• One of the preferred embodiments of the universal fastening device is the combination of embodiments 1, 2 and 4 in which the invention is provided with windows 214, gums 215 and elastic circular elements 415.
• Figure 5 is a side view of the universal fastening device driven upstream of the air outlet 516 of a hair dryer S01 of a given taper, due to the absence of stop.
• Figure 6 shows a side view of the device placed on a hair dryer S02 of conicity different from that of the hair dryer S01.
• the taper difference causes the device to stop just at the air outlet 616 and not upstream as in FIG.
• Figure 7 is a side view of the universal fastening device with a comb diffuser 717 attached thereto.
• a space E is provided between the distal end of the universal fixation device and the base of the hairdressing accessory for cases where the universal fastening device has to penetrate beyond the mouth of the hair dryer so that the ring 1 10 comes into abutment with the body of the hair dryer.
• the spaces F1 and F2 are provided to allow the opening of the universal fastening device according to the diameter of the hairdressing instrument.
