Definitions

  • the invention relates to a hair care device, such as a brush or comb.
  • brushes are passive brushes without any added feature. Brushes can create style and shine. Style due to the shape the hair will be brought into, and shine is obtained by having the hair glide along the bristles. The deeper the hair is guided along the bristles the better the shine. Another issue is that in hair styling, the brushes are combined with heated air flow. Here the brush can be used for styling and drying. Often not portable and the air blows the hair away, which requires another hand to guide the hair and keep in place. Another issue encountered is that brushes are used before, during and after blow-drying to speed up the drying effect. A drying brush would be able to make the dryer and brush redundant, but this requires a very effective solution in terms of drying rate. However, if the consumer blow-dries the hair till 80% dry, while for the remaining part a brush is used to dry/style the last part in natural air, the overall process takes time.
  • US2009064529 discloses an intake-exhaust type hair styling dryer which can perform drying and styling of hair at the same time along with other functions through intake and exhaust of air, moisture, etc.
  • the intake-exhaust type hair styling dryer comprises a comb including an intake hole, a bristle extending through the intake hole, and an exhaust aperture spaced apart from the bristle, a main body detachable attached to the comb and having an air outlet formed therein, an air intake and blowing device disposed in the main body, and a filter positioned below the air intake and blowing device.
  • US5435327 discloses a hand-held grooming device has a comb which protrudes from a slot through which air is drawn and used by a fan driven by an electric motor. Loose hairs and dandruff are thus drawn into the device and collected by a filter. The same air is then blown out through an orifice which can be rotated about the axis of the device, at a point adjacent the point from which the air was drawn into the device. A heater can be switched on to heat the exhaust air. Thus, the same air which is drawn into the device to remove loose hairs and dandruff, after such removal is returned to the same location to dry or warm or cool the location from which the hair was withdrawn.
  • US3209386A discloses a combing brush provided with a rotary fan which permits of the suction, through apertures arranged at least between the brush element and comb elements, of dust particles and other impurities which are retained in the hair or fur. By reversing the direction of rotation, the fan can be employed for the purpose of blowing hot or cold air or else for the purpose of projecting a suitable product.
  • One aspect of the invention provides a hair care device, comprising a base provided with an array of protrusions, a fan for providing an air flow into the hair care device and through the base; and a heating unit for providing heat radiation from the device and through the base, in a direction opposite to a direction of the air flow. If the array is a one-dimensional array, the hair care device resembles a comb, while if the array is a two-dimensional array, the hair care device resembles a brush.
  • Various embodiments of the invention provide the following advantages.
  • the hairs are pulled deep into the bristles, which can enhance contact with the bristles and thus shine.
  • the hair is automated positioned and no other hand is needed.
  • a brush in accordance with embodiments of the invention will reduce time and improve style/shine.
  • An advantageous embodiment provides a heated brush surface where the bristles are located upon and air is sucked through.
  • the benefit resulting from this is that it will give a less cold feeling when applied on wet hair, gives a drying function as heated plates radiate heat, and PTC heated plates can be powered more easily with a battery (in a non-corded embodiment).
  • This embodiment thus provides a favorable combination of a heated plate, a brush, and an airflow direction that results in air being sucked into the hair care device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a hair care device in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
  • the hair care device D of Fig. 1 features a base B from which a plurality of protrusions protrudes to the left, to contact and treat hair of a user (not shown).
  • the protrusions Br may be bristles of a brush, or teeth of a comb.
  • a fan F provides an air flow A thru the device D from left to right. This air flow A will pull the hair towards the protrusions Br.
  • a heating unit H is provided to provide heat radiation R towards the hair at the left of the device. The direction of the heat radiation R is thus opposite to the direction of the air flow A.
  • the heating unit H may include a PTC heater or an infrared heater (e.g. having IR LEDS) to provide the heat radiation R.
  • the heat radiation from the heating unit H will also heat the base B, so that the hair is not only heated by the heat radiation, but also by the hair touching the base B when the hair is sucked towards the base B as a result of the air flow A.
  • the heating of the hair not only helps to dry the hair, but also helps to style the hair.
  • the base B is provided with an air-permeable shield (not shown), e.g. formed by a mesh, to prevent hair from being sucked into the hair care device D as a result of the air flow A.
  • the heating unit H is provided in the hair care device D behind the air-permeable shield.
  • the temperature of the heating unit H is preferably controlled in such a way, that the hair is not overheated.
  • the hair care device D is powered by a battery Bt, which can be charged through a connector C, which may be a USB connector.
  • the hair care device D is controlled by a control unit CU.
  • the hair care device D may be provided with control buttons (not shown), and/or can be controlled by means of an app on a smartphone if the control unit CU is provided with a wireless transmission device (e.g. WiFi, Bluetooth).
  • the hair care device has a liquid dispenser L for supplying a liquid hair care agent like a serum or a gel.
  • a liquid hair care agent like a serum or a gel.
  • the hair is sucked into the comb teeth or brush bristles formed by the protrusions Br, and simultaneously heat is applied to the hair, the liquid hair care agent can be more intensely applied to the hair by the protrusions Br than in a prior art solution in which air blows the hair away from the hair care device.
  • One or more outlets of the liquid dispenser L may be positioned between the protrusions Br.
  • the air flow may contain moist, and the air path through the hair care device D is thus preferably designed in such a way, that the moist cannot reach the electronics.
  • the air path through the hair care device D may be provided with a filter so that any dirt (dust, dandruff, lice) sucked up by the hair care device D will not be returned to the outside air again.
  • the filter may be provided with sensors that analyze the dirt so as to be able to provide care recommendations to the user, e.g. via a smartphone.
  • the hair care device D may be provided with a unit to supply ions to the hair to reduce frizz.
  • the air outlet is opposite to the air inlet.
  • air may leave the hair care device D at the top or at the bottom.
  • the fan F and battery Bt may be provided in the handle, while the heating unit H is still close to the protrusions Br.
  • any reference signs placed between parentheses shall not be construed as limiting the claim.
  • the word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of elements or steps other than those listed in a claim.
