Definitions
- Such hairdressing appliances are known to those skilled in the art. It is also known that, for these devices to function properly and to give their users the expected result, namely a looping of a lock of hair, it is necessary to maintain and guide the lock of hair near the end of the hair. mandrel during their winding around the latter. To this end, it has been proposed several solutions comprising a stop preventing the portion of the lock of hair located near the end of the mandrel to rotate around the mandrel when the latter is wound by the winder. For example documents FR2373986 or CN205612003 provide more or less flexible stops located perpendicular to the mandrel. This type of stopper can actually guide the lock of hair.
- the present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
- An object of the invention is to provide a hair styling device for looping the hair to achieve a sustainable hair shaping.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hair styling device for looping hair that is inexpensive, simple to design and manufacture.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hair styling device for hair curling which is particularly safe and safe for the user.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hair styling device for hair curling which is particularly ergonomic, intuitive and easy to use.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a hair styling device for hair curling which is particularly robust and reliable.
- picot means a protrusion that extends longitudinally, such as a tooth, a tip or a lug.
- distal end is meant the end of the mandrel which is located at a distance from the hand of the user who holds the hairdressing appliance, as will be detailed later.
- the lock of hair is placed between these different pins prior to its winding around the mandrel to prevent its rotation around the end of the mandrel and to guide its winding, in particular by fixing in rotation the wick near its root. In this way, the lock of hair can not curl up on itself.
- the holding and guiding of the lock of hair is improved at the time of the winding of the latter around the mandrel.
- this plurality of pins makes it possible, in the manner of a comb or a brush, to distribute the hair into small locks and to disentangle the latter. Indeed, the lock of hair is distributed homogeneously and can not twist on itself.
- the plurality of pins also allows the simultaneous and homogeneous winding of all the hair around the mandrel, thus avoiding the appearance of knots during winding.
- said immobilization device comprises at least three pins, preferably at least 10 pins and advantageously between 15 and 20 pins.
- the lock of hair is then placed by the user between these pins and this amount of pins also allows to exert a slight tension on the lock of hair, prior to its winding around the chuck which significantly improves the shaping of the lock of hair.
- each of the spikes extends longitudinally between a base integral with said distal end and an apex with a length of between 5 mm and 25 mm and preferably between 10 mm and 15 mm.
- the plurality of pins and a sufficient length of the latter remarkably prevent the lock of hair from unexpectedly leaving the immobilizer.
- the mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and each of said spikes extends along a first longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, said first longitudinal axis passing through the center of said vertex and the center of said base .
- each pin is preferably understood to mean the free end of each pin and, by base, we preferentially mean the portion of the pins that is in contact with the mandrel. In other words, each of said pins extends in the same direction as the mandrel.
- This configuration thus makes it possible and easy the demolding operation of the lock of hair by presenting no obstacle, no resistance.
- at least one of said pins and preferably each of said pins has a cross section which is decreasing from their base towards their apex which further facilitates demolding of the lock of hair, in the manner of a skin in a mold.
- each of the spikes is a circle and the spikes are therefore in the form cone or truncated cone.
- the peaks of said spikes are arranged coplanarly in a plane forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the mandrel different from 90 °.
- the vertices of the different pins are contained in a plane that is not parallel to the end of the mandrel.
- this angle is between 85 ° and 60 ° and preferably equal to 75 °.
- the mandrel comprises a heating element designed to heat the lock of hair when it is wound around the mandrel so as to permanently fix the shaping and allow obtaining loops.
- the mandrel comprises a cap of thermal insulating material, said cap forming the distal end.
- each of the pins is made of phenylene polysulfide so as to have an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, thermal resistance and relative flexibility.
- said apparatus comprises a housing containing said mandrel.
- said mandrel but also preferably all the components of the winding device is contained inside the housing which allows for a particularly compact device, safe for the user and robust insofar as the moving parts are protected by the housing.
- the housing comprises an upper opening and a lower opening interconnected by a facial opening.
- said upper and lower openings each comprise a slot or a notch. Said upper, lower and facial openings then allow the user to penetrate his lock of hair inside the casing so that it can be automatically caught by the reel and wound around the mandrel, according to a mode of operation. known as such.
- said pins are located inside said housing and inside said face opening. In other words none of the pins protrude from the housing. This particular arrangement of the pins inside the housing protects them in case of fall of the device and limit their risk of breakage.
- said upper opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along an upper longitudinal axis
- said lower opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along a lower longitudinal axis
- said mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and said axis upper longitudinal axis, lower longitudinal axis and longitudinal axis of the mandrel are arranged coplanarly in a plane of symmetry of the apparatus.
- the respective axes of the upper opening, the lower opening, the facial opening and the mandrel are all aligned on the same plane which advantageously passes through the middle of the apparatus and which constitutes a plane of symmetry of the device.
- the lock of hair can pass through the housing of the device by passing through the hair immobilizer and more specifically by passing through the plurality of pins.
- the plurality of pins as well as the lower and upper openings then guide the lock of hair during its winding around the mandrel.
- At least one of said first longitudinal axis of the pins is coplanarly disposed in said plane of symmetry of the apparatus, that is to say is preferably aligned with the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, with the lower axis and with the upper axis.
- at least one of the pins is disposed on the median plane of the apparatus containing the axes of said upper, facial and lower openings.
- median plane is advantageously meant a plane of symmetry of the apparatus.
- the apparatus comprises a housing 1, that is to say an envelope, intended to contain different components of the apparatus, and in particular a mandrel 21 as will be detailed at Figures 5 to 9 .
- the housing 1 is hollow and comprises a free end 14 which is advantageously intended to be oriented substantially perpendicularly with the user's head, and more particularly with his scalp at the time of the looping operation.
- the section of said housing 1 is substantially oval.
- the housing 1 forms in its interior a winding chamber 26 intended to receive the lock of hair, before it is shaped, in an outer (or upper) chamber 262, and then after its shaping, in an internal chamber (or 261, as will be detailed later and as can be seen Figures 5 to 9 .
- the casing 1 comprises an upper opening 11 which extends from the free end 14 of the casing 1 towards the inside of the casing 1.
- the upper opening 11 comprises a slot or a notch whose length is between 10mm and 50mm, preferably between 20mm and 40mm and is preferably substantially equal to 30mm.
- This upper opening 11 is designed to accommodate the lock of hair, especially when the free end 14 is placed substantially perpendicular to the head of the user.
- the upper opening 11 is placed against the scalp of the user so as to accommodate the lock of hair.
- the casing 1 also comprises a lower opening 12 which extends from the free end 14 of the casing 1 towards the inside of the casing 1.
- the lower opening 12 comprises a slot or notch whose length is greater than the length of said upper opening 11.
- the length of the lower opening 12 is between 50mm and 120mm, preferably between 50mm and 90mm and is advantageously substantially equal to 80mm.
- the latter comprises at least one rectangular section.
- said lower opening 12 is in the form of an inverted T-notch from the free end 14. The particular shape of this notch allows, especially when the lock of hair is placed in the "small bar" of the T , maintain the lock of hair at the bottom of the lower opening 12, and optimize the guidance of the latter during its winding.
- said upper and lower openings 11 and 11 are then interconnected by a facial opening 13.
- the upper openings 11, lower 12 and facial 13 together form an opening for accommodating a lock of hair and perform the guidance of the latter during its winding around the mandrel.
- Said facial opening 13 comprises a non-through hole made from the free end 14 of the housing 1 and connecting said upper and lower openings 11 and 12.
- the apparatus also includes a handle 3 attached to said housing 1 designed to allow a user to hold the apparatus in his hand.
- the housing 1 extends from the handle with a slight angle.
- the housing 1 is neither perpendicular (right angle of 90 °) to the handle nor completely in the extension thereof (flat angle of 180 °).
- the axis of the housing 1 forms with the axis of the handle an angle substantially equal to 160 °. With this angle, the ergonomics of the device is optimized since it is possible for the user to apply against its head the housing 1 and in particular the upper opening 11, so that the free end 14 is substantially perpendicular to his head, while maintaining the apparatus by the handle 3 and leaving his wrist in a natural position.
- the apparatus also comprises a trigger 4 for controlling the rotation and / or stopping of the apparatus and in particular the rotation and / or stopping of an engine 23 as will be detailed by the after.
- this trigger 4 extends over substantially the entire length of the handle 3 thus facilitating its activation by any finger of the hand or even by all the fingers.
- the apparatus further comprises one or more control buttons 5 allowing the user to adjust various parameters of the apparatus, such as illustratively and non-limitatively, to select the direction of rotation of the motor 23, the temperature of the mandrel 21 or the heating retention time of the lock of hair around the mandrel 21.
- said control buttons are located on the side of the handle 3 and are distinct from the trigger 4.
- the apparatus comprises a winding device 2 designed to automatically wind a lock of hair and allow the realization of loops.
- the winding device 2 comprises a mandrel 21, or winding drum, which extends longitudinally between a proximal end 211 advantageously attached to the casing 1 or to the handle 3 (that is to say a close end of the user's hand) and a distal end 212 advantageously free (that is to say an end remote from the hand of the user).
- said mandrel 21 is of cylindrical shape.
- the mandrel 21 is fixed and advantageously comprises a heating element 214, for example of the CTP type. It is in fact known that a heating mandrel makes it possible to improve the shaping of the hair and in particular to produce loops.
- the mandrel 21 comprises a cap 213 of thermal insulating material, said cap then forming the distal end 212.
- the winding device 2 also comprises a winder 22 configured to wind a lock of hair around the mandrel 21 during its rotation in a predetermined direction.
- the winder 22 is hollow and has a form of revolution.
- the reel 22 is positioned coaxially around the mandrel 21.
- This reel 22 has a first longitudinal end 223 which is secured to a gear 242.
- This gear 242 meshes with a worm 241 which is rotated by a gear. 23, which makes it possible to drive the rotation of the winder 22.
- the direction of rotation of the motor 23 is advantageously reversible, which makes it possible to reverse the direction of rotation of the winder 22.
- the motor 23, the wheel toothed 242 and the worm 241 constitute a preferred mode of design of rotation drive means 24 of the winder 22, other variants remaining possible within the scope of the invention.
- the winder 22 preferably has a conical shape which extends in expansion towards the distal end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- the reel 22 comprises a notch 221, or cutout, which extends on its surface of revolution and which opens on a free edge 2241 at a second longitudinal end 224 of said reel 22.
- This notch 221 preferably comprises a shape trapezoidal, other forms remaining possible, for example a more or less cylindrical or oval shape.
- the winder 22 may have a cylindrical surface of revolution rather than conical.
- the winder may also be in the form of two wings that extend from the first longitudinal end 223. Two hooks 222 are arranged vis-à-vis in the extension of the free edge 2241, at both ends of the notch 221.
- the notch 221 is positioned in the extension of the lower opening 12, such that illustrated in Figures 6 to 8 , which makes it possible to introduce the lock of hair into the notch 221 of the reel 22.
- the rotation drive of the reel 22 then allows one of the two hooks 222, according to the direction of rotation of the motor 23, to seize the wick to begin its winding.
- the lock of hair will then pass from the outer (or upper) chamber 262 situated between the outer surface of the reel 22 and the inner surface of the casing 1 towards the inner (or lower) chamber 261 located between the inner face of the winder 22 and the outer face of the mandrel 21, through the notch 221 of the winder 22.
- the apparatus also includes a hair restraining device disposed at the distal end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- This hair immobilizing device comprises a plurality of pins 251 projecting from the end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- This Immobilizer 25 has several functions. Firstly, the immobilizing device 25 makes it possible to carry out the guidance of the lock of hair during its winding so as to prevent the wick from rotating around the end of the mandrel 21. In addition, this immobilizer 25 allows the release of the curly lock without damaging it. During the rotational drive of the winder 22, it carries the lock of hair which remains guided on one of the pins 251 of the immobilizer 25, forcing it to wind around the mandrel 21. The direction of the loops performed therefore depends on the direction of rotation of the reel 22. It could however provide a single direction of looping without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the figure 9 shows a detailed view of the device for immobilizing the hair 25.
- Said immobilizing device 25 comprises at least three pins 251, preferably at least 10 pins and advantageously between 15 and 20 pins.
- the immobilizing device 25 comprises 17 pins uniformly distributed on the distal end 212 of the mandrel 21.
- the multitude of pins makes it possible to optimize the retention and guidance of the wick during its winding.
- the end of the mandrel 21 can then be likened to a brush which would make it all the more remarkable to untangle the hair before they are looped and to avoid the knots when making the loops.
- Each of the pins 251 extends longitudinally between a base 2511 secured to said distal end 212 and a top 2512 over a length of between 10 mm and 15 mm. In other words, the length of the pins 251 varies between 10 and 15 mm. Regardless, the length of each of the pins 251 may be uniform or, on the contrary, vary without departing from the scope of the invention.
- Each of said pins 251 extends along a first longitudinal axis Lp parallel to a longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21, said first longitudinal axis Lp passing through the center of said vertex 2512 and the center of said base 2511. The cross section of each of said The spikes 251 are decreasing from their base 2511 to their apex 2512.
- each pin thus has a form of revolution, and in particular a cone or truncated cone.
- the vertices 2512 of the pins 251 are arranged coplanarly in a plane Pp forming an angle ⁇ with the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21 different from 90 °, advantageously between 85 ° and 60 ° and preferably equal to 75 °. In other words, all the pins 251 do not have the same length, as can be seen on the figure 5 .
- the length of the pins varies progressively from a maximum length for the pins 251 located near the upper opening 11 substantially equal to 20mm to a minimum length for the pins 251 located near the lower opening 12 substantially equal to 15mm. This decrease in the length of the pins 251 from the upper opening 11 to the lower opening 12 allows in particular to grasp and guide the wick from its base (that is to say, near its root).
- Each of the pins 251 is made of phenylene polysulfide (PPS), this material having remarkable properties, and in particular mechanical strength and thermal resistance.
- PPS phenylene polysulfide
- the temperature of the pins does not exceed 70 ° C while the temperature of the mandrel is generally between 160 ° C and 230 ° C.
- said pins 251 are located inside said housing 1 and inside said face opening 13.
- the immobilizer 25 is fully located inside the housing 1 while remaining accessible to the user by said upper openings 11, 12 and lower facial 13.
- This construction protects the immobilizer 25 and in particular the pins 251 and limit the risk of breakage in case of falling of the device. The risk of burns and injury to the user if the device is mishandled is also reduced as there is no sharp element protruding from the housing 1 of the device.
- the Figures 1 and 2 show that at least one of said first longitudinal axis L P of the pins 251 is aligned with the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21, with the lower axis L I and with the upper axis L S.
- at least one pin 251 is aligned with the axis of said upper aperture 11, lower 12 and face 13 and with the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21.
- the lock of hair when the lock of hair is introduced inside the casing 1 by the various openings as explained above, this one will necessarily encounter an obstacle, in this case at least one pin 251, so that the lock of hair will not be perfectly straight between said upper opening 11 and said lower opening 12.
- the lock of hair is not perfectly aligned with the median plane of the apparatus, that is to say the plane passing through the longitudinal axis L M of the mandrel 21 and the axes of the upper openings 11 and lower 12. Therefore, when the lock of hair is caught by one of the hooks 222 of the reel 22 as explained above, it begins to wrap around the mandrel 21.
- the user After grasping the device in one of his hands by the handle 3 of the device, the user orients the device so that the free end 14 of the housing 1 is oriented upwards. Then, the user comes to position the device against his head, and more preferably comes to place the upper opening 11 against his scalp. So that the free end 14 is substantially perpendicular to the head of the user. Then, the user introduces a lock of hair between the reel 22 and the mandrel 21. More specifically, the user introduces through said upper openings 11, lower 12 and facial 13 a lock of hair inside the housing 1 of the device. The lock of hair thus passes through the casing 1 by entering the casing 1 through the upper opening 11, through the facial aperture 13 and out through the lower aperture 12.
- the lock of hair is thus positioned in the reel 22, more precisely in its notch 221 and is found between the reel 22 and the mandrel 21.
- the user will also position the lock of hair between the pins 251 which will notably have the effect of guiding the wick in rotation, in particular to prevent it from rotating around the end of the mandrel during its winding.
- the user will be able to rotate said winder 22 in a predetermined direction, in particular by means of a control button 5 (for example to select the direction of rotation of the motor 23 and therefore of the winder 22) and / or trigger 4 to rotate the motor 23 and therefore the reel 22.
- the reel will then grip the wick and according to a known process as such, the winding automatically around the mandrel 21.
- the guiding of the wick during this automatic winding is then remarkably optimized especially because the wick slides, under the effect of the winder 22, between the pins 251 of the immobilization device 25 of the hair .
- This passage between the pins 251 allows, as has been detailed above, on the one hand to exert a slight traction on the hair, which allows them to be disentangled, to keep them taut, and to avoid any risk of knots during automatic winding, and secondly to properly guide the hair to prevent them from kinking or rotate around the end of the mandrel 21.

De tels appareils de coiffure sont connus de l'homme du métier. On sait également que, pour que ces appareils puissent fonctionner correctement et donner à leurs utilisateurs le résultat attendu, à savoir un bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux, il est nécessaire de maintenir et guider la mèche de cheveux à proximité de l'extrémité du mandrin lors de leur enroulement autour de ce dernier. A cette fin, il a été proposé plusieurs solutions comprenant une butée empêchant la partie de la mèche de cheveux située à proximité de l'extrémité du mandrin de tourner autour du mandrin lorsque cette dernière est enroulée par l'enrouleur. Par exemple les documents
Afin de résoudre ce problème et de faciliter le démoulage de la mèche de cheveux mise en forme autour du mandrin, il a été proposé de rendre mobile le premier type de butée, mais cette mobilité impose des solutions mécaniques complexes, onéreuses et parfois peu fiables.In order to solve this problem and to facilitate the demolding of the lock of hair shaped around the mandrel, it has been proposed to make the first type of stop mobile, but this mobility imposes complex mechanical solutions, expensive and sometimes unreliable.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux qui soit particulièrement robuste et fiable.Another object of the invention is to provide a hair styling device for hair curling which is particularly robust and reliable.
A cet effet, l'invention se rapporte à un appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux comprenant un dispositif d'enroulement comportant ;
- un mandrin,
- un enrouleur configuré pour enrouler une mèche de cheveux autour du mandrin lors de sa rotation dans un sens prédéterminé,
- un moteur destiné à mettre en rotation ledit enrouleur
- un dispositif d'immobilisation des cheveux disposé à une extrémité distale du mandrin,
- a mandrel,
- a winder configured to wind a lock of hair around the mandrel during its rotation in a predetermined direction,
- an engine for rotating said winder
- a device for immobilizing the hair disposed at a distal end of the mandrel,
Par picot on entend une excroissance qui s'étend longitudinalement, comme par exemple une dent, une pointe ou encore un ergot. Par extrémité distale on entend l'extrémité du mandrin qui est située à distance de la main de l'utilisateur qui tient l'appareil de coiffure, comme cela sera détaillé par la suite. La mèche de cheveux est placée entre ces différents picots préalablement à son enroulement autour du mandrin afin d'empêcher sa rotation autour de l'extrémité du mandrin et de permettre de guider son enroulement, en particulier en fixant en rotation la mèche à proximité de sa racine. De cette manière, la mèche de cheveux ne peut pas s'enrouler sur elle-même. Ainsi, grâce à l'invention et en particulier à la pluralité de picots, le maintien et le guidage de la mèche de cheveux est amélioré au moment de l'enroulement de cette dernière autour du mandrin. En outre, cette pluralité de picots permet, à la manière d'un peigne ou d'une brosse, de répartir les cheveux en petites mèches et de démêler ces derniers. En effet, la mèche de cheveux est répartie de façon homogène et ne peut pas vriller sur elle-même.By picot means a protrusion that extends longitudinally, such as a tooth, a tip or a lug. By distal end is meant the end of the mandrel which is located at a distance from the hand of the user who holds the hairdressing appliance, as will be detailed later. The lock of hair is placed between these different pins prior to its winding around the mandrel to prevent its rotation around the end of the mandrel and to guide its winding, in particular by fixing in rotation the wick near its root. In this way, the lock of hair can not curl up on itself. Thus, thanks to the invention and in particular to the plurality of pins, the holding and guiding of the lock of hair is improved at the time of the winding of the latter around the mandrel. In addition, this plurality of pins makes it possible, in the manner of a comb or a brush, to distribute the hair into small locks and to disentangle the latter. Indeed, the lock of hair is distributed homogeneously and can not twist on itself.
La pluralité de picots permet en outre l'enroulement simultané et homogène de tous les cheveux autour du mandrin, évitant ainsi l'apparition de noeuds lors de l'enroulement.The plurality of pins also allows the simultaneous and homogeneous winding of all the hair around the mandrel, thus avoiding the appearance of knots during winding.
Dans un mode de réalisation préférentiel de l'invention, ledit dispositif d'immobilisation comprend au moins trois picots, préférentiellement au moins 10 picots et avantageusement entre 15 et 20 picots. Lors de l'utilisation de l'appareil, la mèche de cheveux est alors placée par l'utilisateur entre ces picots et cette quantité de picots permet en outre d'exercer une légère tension sur la mèche de cheveux, préalablement à son enroulement autour du mandrin ce qui permet d'améliorer sensiblement la mise en forme de la mèche de cheveux.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said immobilization device comprises at least three pins, preferably at least 10 pins and advantageously between 15 and 20 pins. When using the device, the lock of hair is then placed by the user between these pins and this amount of pins also allows to exert a slight tension on the lock of hair, prior to its winding around the chuck which significantly improves the shaping of the lock of hair.
Dans une variante de l'invention, chacun des picots s'étend longitudinalement entre une base solidaire de ladite extrémité distale et un sommet sur une longueur comprise entre 5 mm et 25 mm et de préférence entre 10 mm et 15 mm. La pluralité des picots ainsi qu'une longueur suffisante de ces derniers empêchent remarquablement la mèche de cheveux de quitter inopinément le dispositif d'immobilisation. Selon cette variante, le mandrin s'étend selon un axe longitudinal et chacun desdits picots s'étend selon un premier axe longitudinal parallèle à l'axe longitudinal du mandrin, ledit premier axe longitudinal passant par le centre dudit sommet et le centre de ladite base. Par sommet on entend préférentiellement l'extrémité libre de chaque picot et par base on entend préférentiellement la partie des picots qui est en contact avec le mandrin. En d'autres termes, chacun desdits picots s'étend dans la même direction que le mandrin. Cette configuration rend ainsi possible et facile l'opération de démoulage de la mèche de cheveux en ne présentant aucun obstacle, aucune résistance. En outre, il est particulièrement intuitif pour l'utilisateur de retirer l'appareil en le reculant par rapport à sa tête. De manière particulièrement avantageuse, au moins l'un desdits picots et de préférence chacun desdits picots présente une section transversale qui est décroissante depuis leur base vers leur sommet ce qui permet encore de faciliter le démoulage de la mèche de cheveux, à la manière d'une dépouille dans un moule. Préférentiellement, la base de chacun des picots est un cercle et les picots se présentent donc sous la forme d'un cône ou d'un tronc de cône. Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux de cette variante de l'invention, les sommets desdits picots sont disposés de façon coplanaire dans un plan formant un angle avec l'axe longitudinal du mandrin différent de 90°. En d'autres termes, les sommets des différents picots sont contenus dans un plan qui n'est pas parallèle à l'extrémité du mandrin. Avantageusement cet angle est compris entre 85° et 60° et de préférence égal à 75°.In a variant of the invention, each of the spikes extends longitudinally between a base integral with said distal end and an apex with a length of between 5 mm and 25 mm and preferably between 10 mm and 15 mm. The plurality of pins and a sufficient length of the latter remarkably prevent the lock of hair from unexpectedly leaving the immobilizer. According to this variant, the mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and each of said spikes extends along a first longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, said first longitudinal axis passing through the center of said vertex and the center of said base . The term "vertex" is preferably understood to mean the free end of each pin and, by base, we preferentially mean the portion of the pins that is in contact with the mandrel. In other words, each of said pins extends in the same direction as the mandrel. This configuration thus makes it possible and easy the demolding operation of the lock of hair by presenting no obstacle, no resistance. In addition, it is particularly intuitive for the user to remove the device by moving it back from his head. Particularly advantageously, at least one of said pins and preferably each of said pins has a cross section which is decreasing from their base towards their apex which further facilitates demolding of the lock of hair, in the manner of a skin in a mold. Preferably, the base of each of the spikes is a circle and the spikes are therefore in the form cone or truncated cone. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of this variant of the invention, the peaks of said spikes are arranged coplanarly in a plane forming an angle with the longitudinal axis of the mandrel different from 90 °. In other words, the vertices of the different pins are contained in a plane that is not parallel to the end of the mandrel. Advantageously, this angle is between 85 ° and 60 ° and preferably equal to 75 °.
Dans une variante préférentielle de l'invention, le mandrin comprend un élément chauffant conçu pour chauffer la mèche de cheveux lorsque celle-ci est enroulée autour du mandrin de manière à fixer durablement la mise en forme et permettre l'obtention de boucles. De manière avantageuse, le mandrin comprend un capuchon en matériau isolant thermique, ledit capuchon formant l'extrémité distale. Ainsi, grâce à cette construction le cuir chevelu de l'utilisateur est protégé de tout risque de brûlure.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mandrel comprises a heating element designed to heat the lock of hair when it is wound around the mandrel so as to permanently fix the shaping and allow obtaining loops. Advantageously, the mandrel comprises a cap of thermal insulating material, said cap forming the distal end. Thus, thanks to this construction the user's scalp is protected from any risk of burns.
Dans une autre variante de l'invention, qui peut bien entendue être combinée avec l'une des variantes précédentes, chacun des picots est réalisé en polysulfure de phénylène de manière à présenter un excellent compromis entre résistance mécanique, résistance thermique et relative souplesse.In another variant of the invention, which can of course be combined with one of the preceding variants, each of the pins is made of phenylene polysulfide so as to have an excellent compromise between mechanical strength, thermal resistance and relative flexibility.
Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'invention, ledit appareil comprend un boîtier contenant ledit mandrin. En d'autres termes, ledit mandrin, mais également de manière préférentielle l'ensemble des composants du dispositif d'enroulement est contenu à l'intérieur du boîtier ce qui permet d'avoir un appareil particulièrement compact, sûr pour l'utilisateur et robuste dans la mesure où les pièces en mouvement sont protégées par le boîtier. Selon ce mode de réalisation, le boîtier comprend une ouverture supérieure et une ouverture inférieure reliées entre elles par une ouverture faciale. Préférentiellement lesdites ouvertures supérieure et inférieure comprennent chacune une fente ou une encoche. Lesdites ouvertures supérieure, inférieure et faciale permettent alors à l'utilisateur de faire pénétrer sa mèche de cheveux à l'intérieur du boîtier pour que celle-ci puisse être automatiquement attrapée par l'enrouleur et enroulée autour du mandrin, selon un mode de fonctionnement connu en tant que tel.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, said apparatus comprises a housing containing said mandrel. In other words, said mandrel, but also preferably all the components of the winding device is contained inside the housing which allows for a particularly compact device, safe for the user and robust insofar as the moving parts are protected by the housing. According to this embodiment, the housing comprises an upper opening and a lower opening interconnected by a facial opening. Preferably said upper and lower openings each comprise a slot or a notch. Said upper, lower and facial openings then allow the user to penetrate his lock of hair inside the casing so that it can be automatically caught by the reel and wound around the mandrel, according to a mode of operation. known as such.
Préférentiellement, lesdits picots sont situés à l'intérieur dudit boîtier et à l'intérieur de ladite ouverture faciale. En d'autres termes aucun des picots ne dépasse du boîtier. Cet agencement particulier des picots à l'intérieur du boîtier permet de protéger ces derniers en cas de chute de l'appareil et de limiter leur risque de casse. De manière avantageuse, ladite ouverture supérieure s'étend longitudinalement depuis ladite ouverture faciale selon un axe longitudinal supérieur, ladite ouverture inférieure s'étend longitudinalement depuis ladite ouverture faciale selon un axe longitudinal inférieur, ledit mandrin s'étend selon un axe longitudinal et lesdits axe longitudinal supérieur, axe longitudinal inférieur et axe longitudinal du mandrin sont disposés de façon coplanaire dans un plan de symétrie de l'appareil. En d'autres termes, les axes respectifs de l'ouverture supérieure, de l'ouverture inférieure, de l'ouverture faciale et du mandrin sont tous alignés sur un même plan qui passe avantageusement par le milieu de l'appareil et qui constitue un plan de symétrie de l'appareil. Ainsi la mèche de cheveux peut traverser le boîtier de l'appareil en passant au travers du dispositif d'immobilisation des cheveux et plus précisément en passant au travers de la pluralité de picots. La pluralité de picots ainsi que les ouvertures inférieure et supérieure permettent alors de guider la mèche de cheveux lors de son enroulement autour du mandrin. Dans une mise en oeuvre préférentielle de ce mode de réalisation, au moins l'un desdits premier axe longitudinal des picots est disposé de façon coplanaire dans ledit plan de symétrie de l'appareil, c'est-à-dire est préférentiellement aligné avec l'axe longitudinal du mandrin, avec l'axe inférieur et avec l'axe supérieur. En d'autres termes, au moins l'un des picots est disposé sur le plan médian de l'appareil contenant les axes desdites ouvertures supérieure, faciale et inférieure. Par plan médian on entend avantageusement un plan de symétrie de l'appareil. Une telle construction permet de manière remarquable de toujours créer une légère tension dans la mèche de cheveux avant son enroulement autour du mandrin, la mèche de cheveux passant par l'ouverture supérieure et l'ouverture inférieure. Cette légère tension sur la mèche de cheveux permet de supprimer les éventuels noeuds présents dans cette dernière et également de garantir un bon enroulement autour du mandrin.Preferably, said pins are located inside said housing and inside said face opening. In other words none of the pins protrude from the housing. This particular arrangement of the pins inside the housing protects them in case of fall of the device and limit their risk of breakage. Advantageously, said upper opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along an upper longitudinal axis, said lower opening extends longitudinally from said facial opening along a lower longitudinal axis, said mandrel extends along a longitudinal axis and said axis upper longitudinal axis, lower longitudinal axis and longitudinal axis of the mandrel are arranged coplanarly in a plane of symmetry of the apparatus. In other words, the respective axes of the upper opening, the lower opening, the facial opening and the mandrel are all aligned on the same plane which advantageously passes through the middle of the apparatus and which constitutes a plane of symmetry of the device. Thus the lock of hair can pass through the housing of the device by passing through the hair immobilizer and more specifically by passing through the plurality of pins. The plurality of pins as well as the lower and upper openings then guide the lock of hair during its winding around the mandrel. In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, at least one of said first longitudinal axis of the pins is coplanarly disposed in said plane of symmetry of the apparatus, that is to say is preferably aligned with the longitudinal axis of the mandrel, with the lower axis and with the upper axis. In other words, at least one of the pins is disposed on the median plane of the apparatus containing the axes of said upper, facial and lower openings. By median plane is advantageously meant a plane of symmetry of the apparatus. Such a construction makes it possible in a remarkable manner to always create a slight tension in the lock of hair before winding it around the mandrel, the lock of hair passing through the upper opening and the lower opening. This slight tension on the lock of hair allows to remove any nodes present in the latter and also to ensure a good winding around the mandrel.
Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, qui pourrait constituer une invention à part entière, l'appareil de coiffure pour le bouclage des cheveux comprend un dispositif d'enroulement comportant ;
- un mandrin,
- un enrouleur configuré pour enrouler une mèche de cheveux autour du mandrin lors de sa rotation dans un sens prédéterminé, ledit enrouleur ayant une surface externe de révolution, l'enrouleur comprenant une encoche qui s'étend sur sa surface de révolution parallèlement audit mandrin,

Préférentiellement, lesdits boutons de commande sont situés sur le côté de la poignée 3 et sont distincts de la gâchette 4.The apparatus further comprises one or

Le dispositif d'enroulement 2 comporte un mandrin 21 , ou tambour d'enroulement, qui s'étend longitudinalement entre une extrémité proximale 211 avantageusement attachée au boîtier 1 ou à la poignée 3 (c'est-à-dire une extrémité située à proximité de la main de l'utilisateur) et une extrémité distale 212 avantageusement libre (c'est-à-dire une extrémité située à distance de la main de l'utilisateur). Préférentiellement ledit mandrin 21 est de forme cylindrique. Le mandrin 21 est fixe et comprend avantageusement un élément chauffant 214, par exemple du type CTP. Il est en effet connu qu'un mandrin chauffant permet d'améliorer la mise en forme des cheveux et en particulier de réaliser des boucles. Préférentiellement, afin de limiter le risque de brûlure du cuir chevelu ou même des doigts de l'utilisateur, le mandrin 21 comprend un capuchon 213 en matériau isolant thermique, ledit capuchon formant alors l'extrémité distale 212.The winding
Le dispositif d'enroulement 2 comprend également un enrouleur 22 configuré pour enrouler une mèche de cheveux autour du mandrin 21 lors de sa rotation dans un sens prédéterminé Comme l'illustrent les
Tel qu'illustré en
En position de démarrage de l'appareil, et cela peut d'ailleurs constituer une invention en tant que telle, au début de l'opération de bouclage, l'encoche 221 est positionnée dans le prolongement de l'ouverture inférieure 12, tel qu'illustré en
Le fonctionnement d'un tel enrouleur est connu en tant que tel, et est par exemple connu du produit commercialisé par la demanderesse sous le nom de « So Curls » ® (marque déposée). Un mode de fonctionnement de ce type d'appareil est également décrit dans la demande de brevet n°
L'appareil comprend également un dispositif d'immobilisation 25 des cheveux disposé à l'extrémité distale 212 du mandrin 21. Ce dispositif d'immobilisation 25 des cheveux comprend une pluralité de picots 251 faisant saillie à l'extrémité 212 du mandrin 21. Ce dispositif d'immobilisation 25 présente plusieurs fonctions. Tout d'abord, le dispositif d'immobilisation 25 permet de réaliser le guidage de la mèche de cheveux durant son enroulement de manière à éviter que la mèche ne tourne autour de l'extrémité du mandrin 21. En outre, ce dispositif d'immobilisation 25 permet le démoulage de la mèche bouclée sans la détériorer. Lors de l'entraînement en rotation de l'enrouleur 22, celui-ci emporte la mèche de cheveux qui reste guidée sur l'un des picots 251 du dispositif d'immobilisation 25, l'obligeant à s'enrouler autour du mandrin 21. Le sens des boucles réalisées dépend donc du sens de rotation de l'enrouleur 22. On pourrait toutefois prévoir un seul sens de bouclage sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.The apparatus also includes a hair restraining device disposed at the
La
Les sommets 2512 des picots 251 sont disposés de façon coplanaire dans un plan Pp formant un angle α avec l'axe longitudinal LM du mandrin 21 différent de 90°, avantageusement compris entre 85° et 60° et de préférence égal à 75°. En d'autres termes, tous les picots 251 n'ont pas la même longueur, comme on peut le voir sur la
The
Chacun des picots 251 est réalisé en polysulfure de phénylène (PPS), ce matériau présentant de remarquables propriétés, et en particulier de résistance mécanique et de résistance thermique. Préférentiellement la température des picots n'excède pas 70 °C tandis que la température du mandrin est généralement comprise entre 160 °C et 230 °C.Each of the

Le procédé d'utilisation et plus particulièrement le procédé de mise en place d'une mèche de cheveux dans l'appareil va maintenant être décrit.
Pour réaliser le bouclage d'une mèche de cheveux, l'utilisateur de l'appareil illustré sur les différentes figures procède comme suit.The method of use and more particularly the method of placing a lock of hair in the apparatus will now be described.
To achieve the looping of a lock of hair, the user of the apparatus illustrated in the various figures proceeds as follows.
Après avoir saisi l'appareil dans l'une de ses mains par la poignée 3 de l'appareil, l'utilisateur oriente l'appareil de sorte que l'extrémité libre 14 du boitier 1 soit orientée vers le haut. Puis, l'utilisateur vient positionner l'appareil contre sa tête, et plus préférentiellement vient placer l'ouverture supérieure 11 contre son cuir chevelu. De sorte que l'extrémité libre 14 se retrouve sensiblement perpendiculaire à la tête de l'utilisateur. Ensuite, l'utilisateur introduit une mèche de cheveux entre l'enrouleur 22 et le mandrin 21. Plus précisément, l'utilisateur introduit au travers desdites ouvertures supérieure 11, inférieure 12 et faciale 13 une mèche de cheveux à l'intérieur du boîtier 1 de l'appareil. La mèche de cheveux traverse ainsi le boîtier 1 en entrant dans le boîtier 1 par l'ouverture supérieure 11, par l'ouverture faciale 13 et en ressortant par l'ouverture inférieure 12. Compte tenu de l'alignement des différents axes desdites ouvertures supérieure 11 et supérieure 12 et de l'encoche 221 de l'enrouleur 22, la mèche de cheveux est donc ainsi positionnée dans l'enrouleur 22, plus exactement dans son encoche 221 et se retrouve donc entre l'enrouleur 22 et le mandrin 21. Au cours de l'insertion de la mèche de cheveux à l'intérieur du boitier 1, l'utilisateur va également positionner la mèche de cheveux entre les picots 251 ce qui va notamment avoir pour effet de bien guider la mèche en rotation, en particulier de l'empêcher de tourner autour de l'extrémité du mandrin lors de son enroulement. Ensuite, l'utilisateur va pouvoir mettre en rotation ledit enrouleur 22 dans un sens prédéterminé notamment à l'aide d'un bouton de commande 5 (par exemple pour sélectionner le sens de rotation du moteur 23 et donc de l'enrouleur 22) et / ou de la gâchette 4 pour mettre en rotation le moteur 23 et donc l'enrouleur 22. L'enrouleur va alors agripper la mèche et selon un processus connu en tant que tel, l'enrouler automatiquement autour du mandrin 21.After grasping the device in one of his hands by the
Grâce à l'invention, le guidage de la mèche lors de cet enroulement automatique est alors remarquablement optimisé notamment du fait que la mèche coulisse, sous l'effet de l'enrouleur 22, entre les picots 251 du dispositif d'immobilisation 25 des cheveux. Ce passage entre les picots 251 permet, comme cela a été détaillé précédemment, d'une part d'exercer une légère traction sur les cheveux, ce qui permet de les démêler, de les maintenir tendus, et d'éviter tout risque de noeuds lors de l'enroulement automatique, et d'autre part de guider correctement les cheveux pour éviter qu'ils ne vrillent ou tournent autour de l'extrémité du mandrin 21.Thanks to the invention, the guiding of the wick during this automatic winding is then remarkably optimized especially because the wick slides, under the effect of the
